Well this week was a quick one, it included much more knocking on doors which was a great adventure! We ended running into this massive water buffalo and it was a shame I didn't have my camera on me because it was huge. I thought it was a statue outside of this house until it turned to look at us. Pretty cool.
Then while we were out knocking on a door there were these two dogs just laying on the sidewalk and they seemed to be pretty relaxed so we kept going. When we went to knock on this little house door, the ugliest little shih tzu dog that looked like an e-wock? (stars wars) jumped to bite my hand and then started yapping. Next thing we know the two lazy dogs and then another appear out of nowhere barking. I was think get out of here so I put my hand in my pocket and starting walking. Elder Campbell said he froze in fear and just stood there looking at the door. Well the person opened the door and closed it, but that was good enough to stop the dogs. Man, dogs here are wild. Literally. Elder Campbell and I have had some good laughs though and I am really looking forward to this move with him. It'll be interesting and a great adventure. We are super stoked to work til we drop which is nice!
Well this past week we were able to meet some nice people but there really isn't much to write about. We met another man named Joel who speaks French as his mother tongue! Except he is from Africa not France. If he ever will come to church, that would be awesome. African Joel and French Joel.
We met with a man named Klaus this week. He is the one from Germany who had contacted us about a month back. Well we went and met up with him and our Branch Mission Leader Brother Bentley came with us. It was a good lesson, we were able to share about the Book of Mormon and get to know him more. Brother Bentley is super great guy and really emphasized that the most important thing is that we find things that make us better people and that we are willing to serve our fellow neighbor. Klaus is really nice and a joke maker. But he has interest to find things in his life that are truths and wants to learn. He said that he is willing to add to or change things he believes now if he finds things that are more true than what he believes. He really is willing to be constantly learning.
A cool quote that a member said during her talk yesterday at church really stuck out to me. It was "too many times a man is willing to die for his faith but not willing to fully live it."
I really found that interesting. Especially with this Christmas season. We fully know the sacrifice and the life our Savior Jesus Christ lived and what He gave as well. It had me thinking a lot on how often that I need to fully live my faith that religion is part of me. That I am loving others and trying to be a better person to them.
One thing I have really noticed in these members here in the branch is how they live their lives. They are living in the attitude of fully serving and loving those around them. It is incredible the Spirit of Love that is evident in this branch. They are always lifting each other up and finding ways to serve. While on the streets it has influenced me to think and act on how I can be more concerned of others. While talking to people, the days I love best are when we at least make some one laugh, smile, or a little less stressed. Not all the times are people willing to accept our message, but they are usually willing to accept a laugh so we will give it to them. We work and pray for the success in bringing others to Christ, but I believe that maybe that smile is what we needed to help them with that day.
Also I have found it is so true that what we pray for is what we get. Little acts of service are always needing to be done. I feel bad for the days I don't really have any because I realize that those days I had forgot to look.
Super cool was just last friday. A less active member that we are helping, David, had left a few weeks ago to work at a dog kennel and hopefully live. This was a good opportunity to get away from friend that weren't the best influence and hopefully get his life out of the trouble he got back into. Well after a week there, his phone went out. We couldn't contact him and couldn't find him. I was getting a little nervous about him and just praying he would be alright. Well then he gave a call on Friday night saying that he was in the hospital for the past week. He said he felt he needed to call us and let us know. It was such a relief to hear he was doing alright. He said that while there, he started to share about the Book of Mormon and one of the guys there has started to read it and really enjoying it! Also he said that he know God was there for him because the first people he met there names were.. this is what he said: "John, and then Peter, and then I meet Simon, and then of course to add on I meet James! They are all Chinese though. But I am telling you mate, God is here and He's watching out for me. No worries mate, it is going really great here. I am enjoying it."
I sure do know that He watches out for us, Heavenly Father sure does love us.
Merry Christmas.
Elder Townsend
These are the baptism pictures and also of Joel's son Gabriel. He is hilarious. His mum made the entire outfit for him!
This is some gnarly thing they eat in the Philippines. It is pronounced Ba loot. It is a somewhat developed egg that you break out of the shell and then eat up. I am talking veins, feathers kind of, bones, and yeah. It is an aborted egg. It is gnarly but you gotta eat it. some people really enjoy it. Sorry the pictures are fuzzy. We did this a couple weeks ago. Our friend Perla gave them to us for Christmas.

Months ago I sat with my Obstetrician and wrote a birth plan. May I please have a mostly pain-free vaginal birth. But if the baby's life is even slightly at risk, please feel free to slice me open like a fish. Thank you.
When I saw the Ob on Monday August 3rd, two days past my due date, he said he doubted that I would go into labour on my own so booked me in for an induction on Sunday August 9th.
5am Tuesday August 4th I woke in our swanky inner city apartment and felt the need to pace. I had what felt like menstrual pains that came and went, but mostly I just felt "weird", sort of agitated and hyper. DH got up around 7am and got ready to go to work, but, being the smart guy he is, decided to hang around for a while. By 8.30 the pains were coming every 15 mins or so and I had started spotting so we rang the Obstetrician but he was in surgery. A hospital midwife said to call back if the pains got worse or were coming every 5 minutes.
We started timing the contractions at about 11am, sometimes they were 10 minutes apart, sometimes only 3 or 4 minutes. We rang the Ob again around 12.30pm and when I could not talk through a contraction he decided we should make our way to the hospital.
Time at the hospital has become a bit of a blur but it didn't seem long after we arrived in the labour suite that the contractions really intensified. The midwives changed shifts at 3pm so I think it was around 4 or 5pm that I asked for the gas. The Ob came in around this time and said I was about 3cm dilated. WTF! only 3cm! I was devastated. They predicted that I would labour all through the night. The Ob offered to break my waters but I said no (Don't ask me why - I have no idea).
I think it was about 8pm when the Ob came in again, this time I was 8cm dilated. During the examination my waters broke and an insane amount of fluid gushed all over the bed and the floor. I was becoming pretty distressed with the pain by now and the gas was not helping at all. I said to the Ob "May I please have an epidural now?". Strange what pain does to you - some women become psychotic during labour, I became Little Miss Polite.
What seemed like a VERY LONG time later, an anesthetist came to administer the epidural. The midwife said "in about 15 minutes you will be in love with this man". Many, many, long minutes and 2 top-ups later I HATED that man. The pain was unbearable and the epidural was not working. At some point another examination must have happened because they suddenly started talking about the baby having turned and being in the wrong position and I would have to have a c-section.
They let my mum in to see me but I couldn't talk, I couldn't even cry even though I was so scared. I didn't really understand what was wrong, but suddenly everyone was moving and talking much faster than before. The need to push was overwhelming and although they told me not to, I believe that I did push once or twice.
In theatre they discovered that the epidural catheter had dislodged. They inserted a spinal block and the pain finally stopped. The anesthetist was suddenly very apologetic and friendly, giving us a running commentary all through the procedure. As bub's head emerged he held a mirror up for us to see. All I saw was a fat little blue face sticking out of my belly, but poor hubby told me later he saw more than he'd bargained for. "I've seen your gizzards and I still love you" will go down in our history as one of the most romantic things he's ever said to me ;-)
It seemed a very long time before I heard Kayla cry. The pediatrician later told us it took her two minutes to get Kayla to breathe on her own. Her first APGAR score was a measly 2 points. When she was first shown to me she was absolutely covered in meconium so it was a good thing she didn't breathe any of it into her lungs. Hubby went with them as they took her away to be cleaned and weighed then he took her to see my mum and dad.
We were moved up to the maternity ward about midnight I think. DH was given a terrible fold-out bed to sleep on which somehow he did, but despite feeling totally exhausted I could not sleep. It didn't help that a midwife kept coming in to check my blood pressure every 30 minutes and that Kayla spent the night in the nursery being fed formula because her temperature was too low. I have a vague memory of Kayla being put to my breast at one point but that may have been the next morning. So many thoughts were loose in my head and I couldn't quite believe what had happened. I'd just had a baby! A real, live baby!

She's here!!
Kayla arrived via emergency c-section at 10.35pm on Tuesday August 4th, 3500gm (7lb 11) and 50cm (20in) long.
We are all home in our almost-finished house so I will try to update in the next day or so.
In the meantime, here's a picture of my little girl.......

Letters to the Editor
Libraries: Northeast resident feels identity crisis
I live in Browns Point. I am fortunate to be buying a home here. Yet with the potential closure of the Kobetich library branch, I am having an identity crisis, and I have to ask: Who are we citizens of Browns Point, Dash Point, and Northeast Tacoma?
We are the unincorporated. We are the under-supported. We are the under-resourced. Yet we include highly taxed contributors to Tacoma's tax base.
We lack most street sidewalks and public city park. We have less-funded city fire and police coverage/protection, and lack decent public transportation. Yet, we will pay mightily for those late-coming transit links between metropolitan areas.
We are the Kobetich fans because this branch has the friendliest, most helpful, information-assisting, digitally literate librarians around.
We also are King County Library System card-holders, though KCLS does not receive our tax dollars; Tacoma does.
So I have to ask: Tacoma, do you want us? If not, I'm sure Federal Way and King County would welcome those tax dollars. They would probably even fund expansion of the one-and-only Tacoma-site resource we have here: our tiny, but beloved, local public library.

Sin City is a stellar film. It only makes sense that Dimension / Buena Vista would give it the treatment that it deserves, resulting in a Blu-Ray release that will have viewers in awe from start to finish. The picture itself is sharp as all get out, tying together crisp and clear audio with a video that seems to even improve on the original theatrical print. The feature presentation on the Blu-Ray also surpasses the theatrical and DVD cut due to the inclusion of additional footage, which provides further back story and context that viewers would simply not be familiar with.
The commentary tracks further provide previously unseen (or unheard) insight into the film, while the inclusion of the character map provide spatial information that may not be shown clearly in the high-action scenes. While there are traditional types of featurettes here (behind the scenes), the odd inclusions are what really make this release shine. Beyond a virtual comic book ("Kill 'em Goodâ€), there is a version of the film that showcases the actors working in front of the green screen, sped up numerous times.
What struck me as funny is the audience reaction track, which showcases what a specific test audience felt was interesting, bloody, or horrific enough to make noise to: I've personally never seen something similar on any other release. Finally, the inanimate objects are all put underneath the microscope; props ("Booze, Broads, and Gunsâ€), make-up ("Making the Monstersâ€), and costumes ("Trenchcoats & Fishnetsâ€) are here. While it would ultimately be cost-prohibitive to do up all films in this manner, the Blu-Ray release of Sin City should act as a blueprint for any movie house that is trying to give their fans the best bang for their buck that they can. If you like Sin City, there is absolutely no reason that you should not purchase this Blu-Ray release.

Kipp Farms
Family farm since 1848, specializing in Grass Fed Beef, Farm Fresh Pork, Spring Lamb, Free Ranged Chickens, Ducks, and local seasonal organic produce. Come visit our store and farm!
Kipp Farms was estabilished 1848. The Farm was originaly a dairy, beef and sheep farm ran by Thomas and James Paul who arrived from England. It has been handed down from generation to generation. The farm is currently owned and operated by Thomas Kipp who is 6th gereation family farmer and his father, Richard Kipp, 5th gerneration farmer.
Richard, who is 80, actively keeps 20 acres in Monroe, WI. His farm has grass fed cattle and sheep. Dicky is often seen at the market on the weekends. You would never believe he is 80 and he is no where close to retiring.
Tom was born on a farm and loves to farm. Tom's favorite animal is the jersey cow. Tom showed jersey cows in the state fair for 35 years. In 2009, his cow, Claudia, won supreme champion.
Tom plows, furrows and plant 70 acres around North Prairie. His hard work of raising hay, beans, GMO free corn, and oats allow Tom to control his feed that he gives the livestock. Just like how we like to eat local, we like our herds to eat well grown and local food too.
Tom's son Jacob, is 7th generation born and raised farmer. When Jacob was an infant he spent many hours inside the barn helping his dad milk and talk care of the cows. Jacob is now 13 and still loves helping and taking on responsibilities of the farm. Jacob loves his sheep. He is the head shepard at Kipp Farms. This spring he expanded his heard with two twin ewes, and one ram.
This is a small history and introduction to the family farm. Stop by and see us! You'll learn more and more.
Left to right: Richard (Dicky) is holding Jacob, Nick (Tom's oldest son who has left the farm life to maintain apartment buildings.), Tom, Abby and Erin (Tom's twin daughters who are both teachers. Abby teaches in Milwaukee, WI and Erin in Texas.)
Visit our Farm Stand &
Self Serve Egg Cooler
Our Farm Stand has our grass fed beef, farm fresh pork, pastured lamb, heritage chicken, chicken eggs and duck eggs, homemade soap and in the summer our fresh organic raised produce.
Get your Farm Fresh Eggs any time and any day at our self serve egg cooler! Once you buy farm fresh it will be hard for you to purchase from the grocery store again.
Weekly specials are posted on the large white sign.
Eat Local
Farm to Table
When your food doesn't travel as far the vitamins and nutrients last longer. When you eat food from your local community you support your small family farmer, and you support farm animal rights.
There is pride when you can say, " I know where this meat, tomatoes and lettuce came from", "I know this animal was raised with respect and love.", "This animal lived a good life."
Stop by if we are available we will give you farm tours and let you see and pet the farm animals. We are never too old to learn.

There was some confusion this year. Dave is WSU speaker. UI and WSU students will co-organize a guest speaker. One faculty and student will be on committee for each school. WSU: Crowder, Abbey and Abigail. Goal is to do event in Fall, but might be spring. I would invite a high profile speaker that will attract school of biological science department memebers.
Officer ReportsPresident (Adrian) I will be working on transitioning the new officers onto CougSync. Thank you all for helping this club run as efficiently as possible, it has been a great year. Vice President (Ben) Not present Treasurer (Joseph) GPSA is slow at updating funding but our club account is doing just fine. Dr. Zack donated some boxes for making displays. Kunle says we got funding Secretary (Alix) GPSA (Kunle) Kunle suggests that Josh M (our new rep) has a person in Pullman to attend meetings. Joseph volunteered It is good for students to attend PDI events Abbey is going to communicate with the extension person who spoke at colloquium to make a database of grid research, interests, so they can solicit speakers for public talks Kunle reports EGSA received funding. Not many groups got funding this year, meaning we are awesome. The packet was good- we followed instructions. Faculty Liason (Rachel) Laura Lavine is interim chair (announced by Dean) for 2 years because the dean recognized "division" in the department. Laura starts July 1st, Steve stays on until August, so there is overlap. Two new students, both will be in Pullman In August We are not getting the spousal hire after all Good luck Liesl Communications Director (Abbey) We are making a twitter and Instagram May 12th garden community fair, EGSA will be there

Officer ReportsAdrian: nothing Ben: PBESA is worried about meeting attendance because it during field season. They have increased the student travel awards to incentivize attendance. Perhaps there will be student drink tickets too. Ben with others is planning student career event. Event will be 5 minute spiels by people with jobs, followed by questions. If you know someone with a job who is going, it is not a big commitment and you could ask them to present at it. Joseph: we are not paying for SCS hotel because Dr. Zack is hosting. Planning to get purchase orders for meals with students. If you want to buy anything, such as terrariums, we can buy it. Alix: not present Kunle: most of GPSA news is in our common emails from WSU or Dept. It costs a lot of money to maintain buildings. Kunle is disappointed that research stations do not get new buildings, have old buildings. There will be a vote during GPSA elections to make undergrads pay $5 a year to pay for Daily Evergreen. GPSA needs 15,000$ to keep 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM hours ??? Volunteers needed for GPSA research expo. Apply to run for GPSA.

Good of the OrderKunle: Debate team for ESA. Kunle is helping to organize. Think about if you want to be on the team. Kunle: SCS could be a good event to get closer to University of Idaho. We should include them in coffee hour, talks, etc. Kunle: suggests that a student close to graduating join the hiring committees for new faculty to gain valuable experience. Rachel brought this up at faculty meeting.
Future Events--next meeting Monday March 9, 9AM --March, outreach event --Idea: collaborate with Idaho to make solitary bee nesting boxes and sell them / charge to have a workshop where people build them. Timing: spring?

GoJump Oceanside is the only Skydive Center in Southern California which operates this specifically built Skydive Aircrafts - the most modern in the industry. The P- 750XSTOL is also among the most efficient jump aircrafts in the World which means we are able to offer the most competitive prices in the market at the highest possible safety standards.

WV Healthwatch: Injuries on the Rise Among Young Athletes
Middle school and high school athletes are playing younger, playing harder, and playing more than their counterparts from previous generations. As a result, many of them suffer from sports-related injuries that threaten to debilitate them for the rest of their lives.
Trainers say that student athletes these days play hard and practice intensely, regardless of whether their sport is in season or not; such levels of repetitive physical activity may cause serious injuries. The incidence of overuse injuries in younger and younger children may be also be due to them specializing in a particular sport at an earlier age.
Many young athletes also make the mistake of trying to rush back into the starting line-up even before they've fully recovered from their latest injury. This is usually the result of a combination of teenage impatience and peer pressure, since team slots are highly contested in high school sports.
The most important factor in repetitive stress injury is getting enough rest. Icing the inflamed area correctly can also reduce the swelling and pain. Most importantly, seek the help of your family doctor for pain or injuries that last longer than a day or two; your family physician can also recommend a specialist for your injuries, if needed.

One factor that stays the same is the well being of most infant boomers. I have always wondered what their magic formula was to a wholesome and enjoyable life and talking to a few seniors I've uncovered some of those things.This rod is the specialty sequence of well-known fisherman Jim Moyer, who developed the Berkley E-Glass rod. This is a fantastic higher end rod, and it comes in a couple of different measurements, depending on exactly where you're fishing. For great sized rivers, they offer the bigger rods, which have stainless steel guides, in addition to the E-Glass and cork used for the deal with. The smaller sized designs, which are mostly the same but use titanium instead of stainless steel, are ideal for catching smaller sized catfish. One of the factors this is known as "the Manager" is that it's hefty obligation. These rods go for around $70, which is quite a bit much more than the usual things you discover, but it is a well-produced, designer fishing rod that is well worth the cost.Just use high quality reels from respected producers. The low higher high quality reels will end up possessing problems with their bearings and even is most likely not correctly sealed, permitting dampness to harm their region or inner gears. This tends to make the reel rust and also over time, it will not just work at all.As much back as forty,000 years ago, fishing has been a indicates of survival. Evidence has been found in the type of fish bones and drawings on cave partitions telling us that these individuals fished just as we do these days. The gear was much more primitive and the techniques were various, but the outcomes and the intent had been the same. To capture fish. maritzamargaret7.wikidot.com were made from wood, stone or bone and were called "angles". That is where our phrase "anglers" arrives from.shimano reels are some of the best reels being made, and are accessible all about the globe. Shimano fly reels have what it takes to stand the check of time, and ensure that the reel you buy is going to final you for much more than a period or two. You can get these design fly reels via numerous various online suppliers.Imagine you established your boat out on a beautiful working day at sea. You bask at the stunning early morning sun as a easy breeze greets you. This kind of a fantastic day maritzamargaret7.wikidot.com fishing isn't it? But what if you're ill-outfitted with beneath regular sea fishing tackle? It would certainly be a waste of time and cash. So why consider probabilities? Choose only the very best sea fishing tackle; select Daiwa!The Fishing Clinic is an opportunity to introduce kids to fishing, with free loaner maritzamargaret7.wikidot.com and bait available all through the park. Instructors will be available for assistance, fish cleansing, and info.To solid the spincast reel all you need to do is depress the drive button and maintain it down. You'll launch the button when you want your entice to move in a ahead position. Most spincast reels are in a position to be utilized with any weight entice or line size.The holidays at these resorts arrive in a number of packages. It is dependent on the season you choose for your vacationing as well as the actions you enroll for. You would be provided a number of discounts and strategies for choosing them.Then it hit us. Why not have your measuring device on your fishing rod, because you've always received your fishing rod with you when you're fishing. This only makes feeling, right? We certain thought it did, so we produced some for our zenaq rods, to see how they labored. They worked fantastic, and now we're by no means fishing with out having our measuring device on our fishing rod, rather than somewhere else.This sequence of shimano reels lends by itself to overhead casting. It has a equipment ration of 6.two:1. The Shimano Torium twenty also has four corrosion evidence bearings and is available in line capacities of 420 yards of 20lb, or three hundred yards of 30lb fishing line.

The Shimano Torium fifty has a smaller sized equipment ratio of four.9:1. This Shimano reel is ideal for overhead fishing off the boat. It has a line capability of 440 yards of 50lb fishing line.When selecting zenaq rods, you have to go for one that is 6 feet lengthy and that it should be of medium excess weight and with directions. This will make it possible to fish much from the boat and that it will make sure that you are comfortable when you carry out this action from the comfort of your boat.Planer boards function great for suspended walleye or when the walleye are schooled very near to shore. The key to utilizing planer boards is to get your bait as far absent from the boat as feasible. Clearly you can still be wildly successful with out using boards, but if you do you'll have put yourself in a place to internet a TON of walleye simply because you'll be a great deal more flexible.

Well we had our first workshop in Kalamazoo this weekend and after all that planning and scouting and hard work we got to have some fun!! We found some excellent locations and even more excellent models to be our subjects!
I started out the Day cramming their brains full of technical knowledge while trying to only melt their brains a little bit! I think it went pretty well but there's only so much you can take in at once!
Then came the shooting. We started out at this cool loaction by some train tracks, only these train tracks had extra rail material! It worked out even better then I had hoped.
Jessie's head isn't this big in real life =) I am using the Amazing Canon 14mm f/2.8L II Ultra wide angle lens to get this effect as you can tell later I have a lot of fun with it!! Our second model Alli was awesome as well. Thank you ladies for trashing the dress for us. I think it was worth it =)
Our next location was behind the building we used on Sunday. I found some kind of washing machine graveyard!
And behind THAT was a bunch of old trailers and onother cool yard that made for lots of great variety.
I was pretty proud of everyone for really getting in there and not standing back at eye level I thought I would really have to get on people to get close and use angles but they were great!
You may recognize Noah and Alex since we haven't updated our website's front page in a while but they were one of our favorite engagement session and wedding so we thought that would be pros by now, and they proved to be just as comfortable with 12 people snapping away!! You just can't go wrong with them. Thanks guys!
Holly really stepped it up this weekend and may have gotten better shots then me! Seems like that's what our models think since they keep using her shots for their facebook profile pictures! =) Good thing she's not competition is all I have to say.
I think I still held my own though ;)
The next day it was nasty snowing rain so I have to thank Mark Kieser for giving me a key to his building downtown so that we could still get a lot of good indoor natural light shots. Our Models Holly and Lauren really did great!
A big thanks to Brandon who helped us with a little bit of male subject matter when he wasn't shooting with us! =)
We Had soooo much fun and I met some great people that I think have a ton of potential. We didn't get to edit as much as I would't have liked but we are thinking about doing some editing focused workshops soon. I can't wait to do another one! Huge thanks to our future Bride Gillian for doing hair and make up!! We can't wait to do a tour and meet even more great photographers and models!!!

The LG Chem Holland, Michigan facility finally, after much delay, began producing battery cells for the Chevrolet Volt. Then as soon as it started, it stopped again. According to a statement issued by LG Chem, here's why:
"We discovered the possibility that this material may not be properly registered and made the decision to pause our production until we have that question resolved. We are currently reviewing the registration status and will work with the EPA to resolve the issue quickly. In the meanwhile, we are delaying production activities for approximately 6 weeks until we have confirmed the registration status or otherwise obtain approval from EPA."
The EPA went as far as to subpoena LG Chem, according to Inside EVs, and cease manufacturing the facility until further notice. Despite the seriousness, LG Chem is viewing the matter as only temporary. Stay tuned for more developments.

The worst April for baseball weather in decades is nearly over, but AL Central teams will be feeling the effects well into the season. A look at the newly scrambled schedules:
Indians: They avoided much of the worst by opening the season with a week on the West Coast but still were rained out of a pair of home games against Toronto last weekend. An off day will be sacrificed May 3 to make up both games, but the April effect is light.
Royals: As if two home games and another in Detroit being postponed by weather wasn't bad enough, the Royals actually endured a postponement inside a dome, too, when falling ice damaged the Rogers Centre's roof. The result: Three staff-scrambling doubleheaders in 12 days, and a travel day turned into a one-game homestand in June.
Tigers: Sentenced to nothing but outdoor games, none south of Pittsburgh, for the first four weeks, they've had nothing but cold and plenty of disruption: Only four of their first nine home games were played as originally scheduled. Detroit already has played two home doubleheaders, with another set for June.
White Sox: Though the Cubs have already been idled by snow or rain five times, the White Sox somehow have managed to avoid a single postponement in Chicago. On the road, though? A 20-degree day in Kansas City and three days of Minneapolis blizzard mean they have makeups scheduled in four different months already.

Meet the world's Mrs Averages: Scientists blend thousands of faces together to reveal what the typical woman's face looks like in 41 different countries from around the globe
- Pictures of hundreds of women were used to create an average
- Images of women from 41 different ethnicities were laid over one another before a computer programme deduced the common look
- Created by online tool hosted by experimental psychologists at the University of Glasgow
If you were described as average-looking, you probably wouldn't see it as a compliment.
But perhaps you would be happy if you looked like any of these computer-generated depictions of the 'average woman'.
With flawless skin, youthful faces and bright eyes - these average faces of women from around the world are nothing short of beautiful.
The face of the average woman from a variety of countries including England, China and Central Africa has been deduced by scientists
Hundreds of images of women's faces were laid on top of each other before a computer programme created the average around a focal point of their eyes
They were created from hundreds of pictures of women from all over the world.
Using a face-averaging tool hosted online by experimental psychologists at University of Glasgow, women from 41 different nationalities and ethnicities were used for the experiment.
The tool is a modern version of the technique that anthropologist Sir Francis Galton pioneered in the late 19th century, multiple images were carefully laid over one another using a computer technology.
Using the eyes of the women as a focus, it then worked out the average look of each woman from every region but analysing their faces.
The method - called 'composite portraiture' - and was first used in the 1880s by Sir Francis Galton.
The social scientist and cousin of Charles Darwin first created the image of the average face by superimposing multiple portraits of individuals.
Some have been critical of the average images, saying - as the results all appear to be around 20 years old - they do not reflect any age range within a country
Those behind the project say that the method averages the shape of the features before blending the images together - hence why there are no blemishes or imperfections
The technique has been used ever since, particularly in the study of 'attractiveness' - which studies people's perception of beauty.
However, the results have attracted some controversy - with many saying the results do not reflect reality especially as the 'common' faces are all beautiful.
While many agree that it does make sense the women are all pretty - because averages rule out blemishes - many are perplexed that the women all seem to be in her early twenties - not the average age of any nationality.
Those behind the project say that many of the criticisms are explained by the process.
Instead of having a lot of blurry images with undefined features, they say the method averages the shape of the features before blending the images together.
Some anomalies can be explained by how the pictures were compiled. The prevalence of mousy hair is a result of blondeness being easily 'diluted'.
Other results also suggest that the study has a few imperfections.
The average South African, for example, should not be pale-skinned as only 9.2 per cent of the population define themselves as white.
The project was inspired by South African photographer Mike Mike's project called The Face of Tomorrow and used techniques developed by social scientist Francis Galton
The project was inspired by the work of South African photographer Mike Mike - who created a web project several years ago called The Face of Tomorrow.
The project saw the photographer compile a collection of people's faces from various cities for a final project while he was studying at Goldsmith's University in London.
He said: 'Sitting on the underground train, I was intrigued by the sheer diversity of the place – Somalis, Indians, Americans, Zimbabweans, Scandinavians and a hundred other nationalities vying for their place in the metropolis.
'I thought: "What is this place, what is a Londoner?"
'I thought if one could merge all the people in a place like London one would be looking at the future of that place – one would have some notion of what a Londoner is or will become.'
Anthropologist Sir Francis Galton - who was also the cousin of Charles Darwin - pioneered the method of 'composite portraiture' in the 1880s.
He superimposed multiple portraits of individuals' faces together to create an average.
All of the portraits were registered on the subject's eyes and the rest of the face was created around them.
The faces have been the topic of fierce debate over the last hundred years, with much psychological research focusing on the attractiveness of the face and why different people find one more attractive than the other.
Other psychologists, including Sigmund Freud in his work On Dreams, picked up Galton's suggestion that these composites might represent a useful metaphor for an ideal type or a concept of a 'natural kind'.
To this day, the method is still used by scientists studying attractiveness and beauty - although computer programmes have replaced much of the original methods used at the turn of the 19th century.
