Fromthe NRDC Blog WeLoveBirds
Seattle, WA – Millions of Canada's migratory birds, representing more than a hundred species could be at risk when they return this fall to areas in the Gulf of Mexico affected by the oil spill. The Gulf coast serves as important habitat for hundreds of Canada's bird species which use the region for wintering grounds and migratory stopover habitat.
"The world's largest migration occurs every year when billions of birds fly from Canada to areas south, including the Gulf Coast," said Dr. Jeff Wells, senior scientist at the Boreal Songbird Initiative "We're not sure what these birds will face when they return to areas hit by the oil spill, but certainly a large number of birds could be vulnerable to illness or even death."
The migratory birds of Canada's Boreal Forest represent a significant percentage of the birds
that winter in the Gulf Coast region or stop during their travels further south. Canada's Boreal
Forest is the world's largest intact forest and is home to more than 300 bird species, including
80 percent of North American waterfowl species, 63 percent of finches and 53 percent of
"There's been a lot of attention to oil spill effects on local resident species," said Wells. "But
there's a lurking time bomb for many waterfowl and shorebirds that breed in Canada's Boreal
Forest and winter or stop in the Gulf."
Nearly 5 billion of Canada's migratory birds fly south every fall, Wells adds. He and other
experts worry these birds could face both long- and short-term adverse effects to shoreline
habitat, necessary winter food sources and health.
The Gulf Coast is vitally important for many wetland bird species. The marshes, beaches and
tidal flats provide ideal nesting areas and habitat for millions of waterfowl, seabirds, shorebirds
and other water birds. These habitats also house fish, mollusks and other marine life that
provide the food supply for many of these birds. The impact on smaller food sources like
plankton could have a ripple effect on the entire food chain. There may also be longer-term
effects stemming from physiological impacts of ingested oil that could lead to lower breeding
success rates.
Currently, nesting birds such as terns, gulls and pelicans are hit hardest by the oil spill.
Louisiana's coast supports an estimated 77 percent of the U.S. breeding population of
Sandwich Tern, 52 percent of Forster's Tern and 44 percent of black skimmer. Many of North
America's most at-risk species also live in the region during a portion of the year, including
Yellow Rail, Black Rail, Snowy Plover, Piping Plover, and Short-billed Dowitcher. The oil spill
could pose long-term implications for the health of their total populations.
"We've really only seen the tip of the iceberg so far," said Wells. "Species from the Boreal and
other areas may encounter habitats and food sources contaminated with oil on their journey
south that may cause illness or even mortality. These birds, and the generations to come after
them, are endangered by the oil spill's impact to critical marsh and beach habitat."
While there isn't much that can be done to mitigate effects of the oil spill on wildlife, he adds,
there are ways to protect bird populations in the future through prevention of habitat loss and
fragmentation—one of the leading causes of declining bird populations worldwide.
"By protecting intact ecosystems such as the 1.4 billion acres of Canada's Boreal Forest," said
Wells, "we can give these critical populations of migratory birds a fighting chance of recovering
from devastating occurrences such as the Gulf oil spill."

I write this blog titled, "The Wrinkled Resume", with the intention of sharing interview woes and connecting with people who are struggling to cope up with rejection. I may not be a psychological expert or an experienced human resource executive to write on this, but I believe I have a treasure trove of experience of being at a number of interviews. Being rejected at an interview is indeed a sour experience. It not only demoralizes you, but also shatters everything that you believed about yourself.
As I sit to write my first post for this blog, I wonder how to put my not-so-fortunate interview experiences into some useful information for struggling job aspirants. After a little online research, I realized that you could find a number of blogs and social media pages on Interview rejection and ways to cope up with it. These blogs have systematic instructions on how to deal with interviews and possible rejections, but I found that most of these are written by successful life coaches, and senior human resource executives who actually lack the emotional connect with those struggling to earn a career. I felt this is where I can be useful for you. I dedicate this blog to all those unfortunate underdogs who are struggling for a career.
To start with, I would like to share a useful interview tip that I had learnt the hard way from a series of interviews. "Tell me about yourself..."- If you have had a fair share of interviews, you must have come across this common interview question. Once, I got a call from a recruiting agency offering a job opportunity. After a brief chat about the job profile and the pay package, the agent said that there would be a telephonic interview the next day. The phone rang, and I picked up the call to hear a soft voice on the other end introducing itself. After inquiring about my whereabouts and qualifications, the interviewer asked me, "Tell me about yourself…" Excitedly, I started ranting about my schooling, graduation, hobbies, and even my favorite football team! After an unusually long pause, the person on the other end of the line responded,"It was a pleasure talking to you, hope to see you soon" and disconnected the call only to call never again. The truth that I could learn from this disappointing situation is that, the interviewers are hardly concerned about who you are and what your hobbies are. This is a trick question to find out how serious you are about the job and how well you have prepared for the interview. When you answer this question, you should pick the right words and sentences that promote you as their ideal candidate.
You can begin by answering the usual "W" questions like, who you are, where you are from and what you are as a person in one or two sentences. In the next two or three sentences, you should put forth your educational background and how it is favorable to the job. In the last few sentences, you should try to promote yourself as the ideal candidate for the job. You can cite an incident at your previous workplace or at your college where you could use your skills to resolve an issue and bring a positive result. Your score will depend on how well you sell yourself. The rest will follow.

Well, Megan Miranda, you did it. You wrote a mystery book from every angle and created a tale that kept me entranced.
This novel follows Leah, a journalist running from a story that went wrong in Boston, and found the perfect place to go to when her former roommate Emmy turns up in a bar just when she needs her two. Leah now works as a school teacher, but as a mysterious girl turns up beaten looking suspiciously like Leah, questions start to be asked.
And Emmy is missing.
This novel, again, follows Miranda's style from All the Missing Girls in that this is a somewhat linear story, that jumps back to a few past states. Miranda doesn't give is all the information at once, or even when we want it, but when Leah thinks about it. As Leah comes to understand things, so do we.
The way this novel is written, it isn't for everyone. This is reminiscent of the early 20th century style of writing. Nonlinear and a lot of reading between the lines. Everything isn't spelled out for you.
But I really liked it. If you enjoy mysteries, this is the book for you. Sincerely.

Horsham manager Dominic Di Paola admitted their 5-0 drubbing at Tooting & Mitcham on Saturday summed up their dismal season.
The final-day defeat meant the relegated Hornets finished dead last in the Ryman League South Division table.
Horsham managed just one effort on target and were blighted by the unavailability of Tom Gilbert, Tony Nwachukwu, Joe Obersteller and Richie Byrne, while the injured Trevor McCreadie and Tom Vickers were only on the bench.
Di Paola said: "To be fair we had a lot missing through availability or not wanting to play or whatever reason.
"We just had to get a team out. We had two midfielders playing at the back and two youth teamers on the bench.
"The game was awful for our point of view. It sums up the season in terms of the playing staff just not being good enough for that league.
It sums up the season in terms of the playing staff just not being good enough for that league.Dominic Di Paola
"They are either too young, too lightweight or not committing enough. Not having Tom Gilbert, Richie Byrne or Tony (Nwachukwu), three of our more experienced players made it even harder."
Di Paola added: "It was a bit shambolic really. We expected one of the games to be like that (availability issues) out of the three and thankfully it was only one of the weeks that was that bad.
"It was not very enjoyable from a football point of view, it's not how we like to put a team out, but it sums up the season really I suppose."
Full report, reaction and the latest from Di Paola on his thoughts going forward in Thursday's paper.

Update from Ken:
Last weekend was tough. Friday night, Kris was admitted to KU Medical Center with a staph infection. We learned later that her chemo port had become infected. On Monday they removed the infected chemo port and installed a picc line in her arm to administer the chemo and draw blood for her scans.
Kris is at home recovering and has a fabulous, portable IV pump that she'll be wearing as an accessory for the next 12 days. The IV pump will administer a 24-hour antibiotic drip to ensure that the staph infection is completely eradicated.
As always, we appreciate your prayers and comments.

Her reasons were well thought out, methodical and hilariously funny, with an undercurrent of feminist seriousness to it. I don't want anybody touching my hair either. That's like asking if you can cut me and see if I bleed red! My hair texture is not your goddamn anomaly! Okay, rant over. 🙂
Last week an art exhibit opened in NYC called "You Can Touch My Hair." It featured three black women, all with different hair styles, standing in Union Station with signs featuring those same words. It was not intended to be the start of a hair touching movement, but a social experiment to explore the widespread tactile fascination with black women's hair. This exhibit has opened up a floodgate of controversy, debate, and counter-exhibits.
But this isn't about the exhibit. This is about why, although you were perfectly welcome to touch those three women's hair last week, you cannot touch mine.
1. It's weird.
Like, why? Why do you want to touch my hair? I implore you to deeply ponder this every single time you are about to ask to touch a black woman's hair.

At least 2500 Pangkua community live in over all the country. But 100 families and 600 Pangkua people live in pangkua para in Belaichhri upzila.
According to the member of pankua para, (Delip pangkua) the pangkua who now live in Belaichhari, Bagaichhari, Juraichhari of the hill district of Rangamati and Mayanmar's Arakhan are mongoloid in origin. At first, In Bangladesh the Pangkua are established their habitated Rangunia Ruabazar. When the kaptai barrage was built. The Pangkua were scartted different area such as Bagaichhari (Sajek) and Juraichhari (Dumdumia) upazila in Ragamati district. After 1979 most of the pangkua families migrated their habited in Belaichhari upazila. (8 no ward, Tinkuna mauzas pangkua para)
They have a language but no alphabet of their own. The pangkua language they have used to communicate from generation to generation has only a spoken form. It origination from Mizoram, Brahmma language that is spoken in the southern areas. The ethnic Pangkua person have inherited their language and take pride of it. They consider it a property from their ancestors. It still remains intact and is in its original form.

The main food of the pangkua is rice and vegetables, which they produce in hills through jhum cultivation besides they catch snails and crabs from nearby streams and hunts game birds and animals which all the people of village eat together.

The products that they manufacture by using materials available in the wild neighborhood are the evidence of their exquisite artisanship too. They use bamboos, canes, and wood to produce different types of pots and baskets, including the one they carry on their back they also used dried and hard shells of a sort of wild gourd of make different house hold materials. In a world the beautiful handierafts bear the marks of their superb creative acumen.
Like other ethnic groups the Pangkua live on jhum cultivation. Besides traditional and historical engagement in jhum chash (swidden cultivation) for hundreds of yours, the pangkua have recently invented the system of Bagan (gardening) Khamar (farming) livestock rearing and fish cultivation to copy with the growing demand of essentials in every day life. Bagan usually includes the cultivation of various kinds of fruit trees, such as mango, banana Jack-fruit, guava, papaya and lemon.
The products of Bagan meet not only the communities need but also provide considerable surplus for export to market which brings a little comfort to their life. Khamar includes production of different kinds of species and vegetables, which cover their everyday needs. The some extent khamar goods are also sold at market, provding money to ficilate their daily lives. The Pangkua tend to keep various livestock cows, pigs hens and goats in every house.

Some of them, how ever, began do grab foothold in the reemployment markets as they are gaining literacy.

US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, one of the members of Obama's original cabinet, has announced his decision to step down by the end of the year after a nearly seven-year tenure. Rather than nominating a new education secretary and seeking a confirmation from the Republican-controlled US Senate, President Obama has chosen the current Deputy Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. to replace Duncan for the remaining year of the administration on an interim basis.
A champion of college access and affordability, Duncan touts the doubling of funding for federal grants destined to low- and middle-income undergraduates among his major accomplishments as Secretary of Education. His tenure, one of the longest in US History, was also marked by an increased pressure on college accountability for student success.
John B. King will assume his new role following a year of service in the Department of Education, where he oversaw elementary and secondary education. Former teacher, principal and New York State Education Commissioner, King holds degrees from Harvard and Yale Law School and has earned his doctorate from Columbia University.

101-year-old Capt. Joe Grant, left, and Prince Sultan Salman Abdulaziz Al-Saud share a laugh in front of a DC-3 that Grant flew at Oshkosh.
In 1945, Capt. Joe Grant—a former barnstormer who flew for TWA and served in World War II—flew a DC-3 to Saudi Arabia. The airplane, a gift from U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt to Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, introduced aviation to the kingdom. On Thursday, the 101-year-old pilot flew a DC-3 at Oshkosh. Among those aboard were Hall Delano Roosevelt, grandson of the former president, and Prince Sultan Salman Abdulaziz Al-Saud, grandson of King Abdulaziz.
"What you're seeing here is all about relationships, and maintaining relationships," Roosevelt said during a press conference after the flight.
Grant stayed in Saudi Arabia from 1945 to 1947 to serve as personal pilot to the king and the royal family. "My time in Saudi Arabia was the greatest gift I could ever have been given. At the time, I didn't realize what an opportunity it was—I thought I was just doing my job," he said. There were few airstrips and fewer navigational aids in the kingdom, and flying there reminded Grant of his early days flying as a barnstormer.
The king loved flying, according to Grant, and both Saudi Arabian Airlines and the kingdom's air force sprang from his vision. The king's grandson became a pilot, as well as the first Arab and Muslim astronaut.
"I have learned so much from this man over the years," Prince Sultan Salman Abdulaziz Al-Saud said, pointing toward Grant. "Joe said the secret to happiness and living longer is to keep flying."
Aviation also runs in the prince's family. He said his son soloed a week ago, "without my knowledge. And now this morning he arranged himself a test flight in the Cirrus."
Michael Saba, a writer and lecturer on international relations and business matters, has written King Abdulaziz…His Plane and His Pilot, which chronicles the history of civil aviation in Saudi Arabia in the years following World War II—including Grant's experiences in the country and his relationship with the royal family. The book, Saba's third, was released at EAA Airventure.

We have checked the zoning requirements and necessary easements etc. and it appears that the plans are OK from the cities perspective.
The goal is to increase the living space in the home to 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and add a family room without giving up any of the already small yard. So the only choice is to go up or down. There arent many basements in the area – and many 2nd stories so up seems like the best choice. There are many homes nearby that have the same floor plan and have had 2nd stories added. This is a big benefit because we can see first hand inside and out how the space works, where windows, stairs are placed etc.
Here is the first one that we reviewed.
The appearance of the 2nd story is very nice – fits in with the neighborhood. The 1 problem and 1 potential problem of this design is the location of the stairs and the cost. This design has the 2nd story sitting far back on the house which requires the stairs to be located either in the living room or kitchen/dining room. Our clients don't like either of the options.
The other potential problem is the width. By setting the 2nd story farther back the only way to get the size is to make it wider. Zoning limits how wide the 2nd story can be – plus there are no bearing walls where the 2nd story walls are – which makes construction of the 2nd story that much more expensive.
The solution to this is to place the 2nd story so that it is close to bearing walls on all 4 sides. This can be done by placing the front wall closer to the street, the back wall flush with the back of the home and the sides within a few feet of existing bearing walls.

23 March 2014 — Oh, let's start with me keeping my promise from the previous post. Let's go all along…
The Alley
"Subway Alley," that is, quote marks showing this is my nickname not an official name. (I forgot to check whether it has one or not.) On Tuesday, Phyllis and I were close enough to satisfy my curiosity about this place that everyone — dahhhling, everyone — kept telling me to visit: a graffiti-filled stretch of back alley, visible from the Bloor subway line between Dundas West & Keele stations.
It's also accessible on foot, to my joy, a busy service lane between the subway line and the backs of buildings on the north side of Bloor St. West. We find our way into it just west of the Dundas West station, and look around.
Not the same intensity of art as in some downtown core locations, because not the same intensity of buildings — but still plenty to see. And it has its own texture & context, energy bouncing between art on the lane's south side to chain-link fence on the north, bracketed by the rumble of cars on Bloor St. & of subway trains beyond the fence.
As always, lots of moods, lots of styles, lots of themes.
That's for movie buffs, but maybe you're in permanent leprechaun mode. Yup, we can do that too.
Buildings rarely march straight-line down the alley, or anyway, not for long. There are ells back here, creating space for parking and for different mural pile-ups, as you can see below.
I eventually notice the clock, 'way up top at the back on the left, but that comes after I make out the RIP in the large mural on the wall beneath it. You see a lot of memorial artwork in the alleys; I never know anything about the person being honoured, but I always feel touched by the tribute, & glad that someone does know, does care, & shows it.
Even that wasn't the first thing I noticed in this crowded space. First came the great graphic by EGR, the faerie-woman portrayed all across the back of Peggy Nash's constituency office. (She — Peggy, that is, not EGR — is the New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for this riding.)
Sometimes there's a sequence of images. Start with this guy on his cell, for example, in an almost-real world. Not real, but despite the cartoon elements somehow so close to real, maybe because of the angles, both physical & painted. It's almost as if you could poke your head around the corner to the right, as well as to the left …
Now check the next panel, and ask yourself: that car… in the mural or in the alley?
Yes, of course it's in the alley. But the dance is there, isn't it.
A final sequence swoops us close to Keele Street. First UBER (I think with others, but don't know them) bringing us "now with lazer vision…"
… hurtling that vision across some grillwork into a canary coffee klatch…
… and leaping yet again, all the way to another of those wise ELICSER faces.
Which is the end of Subway Alley so back out to Bloor St. we go.
I discover, as we continue west, that all that dance between art & reality is having an after-effect. Phyllis & I are walking along the northern boundary of High Park, at the end where we have in past explored some large sculptures set in the woods, and I stop to point admiringly at this one. "It's new!" I say, "very striking, a great spear of rusted metal, overlooking Bloor."
Then I start to laugh. Art by Ice Storm, thank you, the remaining half-trunk of what was, pre-storm, a great big tree. (But… isn't it handsome?)
Speaking of transformations brings me to…
The Exhibit
Courtesy of my AGO colleague, DJ, I had a comp ticket for the current show at Toronto's Design Exchange. "This Is Not a Toy," it's called, and that's right, even though the exhibit consists of toys — reimagined, reworked designer & art toys, the title playing on their new identity as well as echoing the René Magritte's painting, Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe.
The show is terrific, full of energy & play, go see it. Curated by Pharrell Williams, it is (to quote the brochure), "at the intersection of fine art, marketing, pop culture, product and graphic design."
There are dazzling pieces, panorama tableaux, big goofy pieces, like this one at the entrance …
… and window-ledge-size pieces as well.
I look first at the figures — Companion (1999), by KAWS — but then look past them, between & above their ears, across Bay St. into the Commerce Court courtyard & settle my gaze on the sculptures over there emerging from the snow. You'd have to already know them in order to see them from here, but I do, so I do. (Still with me?)
After taking in the rest of the Exhibition, I cross the street and pay a return visit to Tembo, Mother of Elephants, three bronze figures by Toronto artist Derrick Stephan Hudson. Here they are up close, from the same angle as the mini-glimpse above …
… waiting like the rest of us for snow mounds to disappear and water once more to dance in the fountain just beyond Tembo's trunk.
Then I reverse directions and take a picture of the Design Exchange building. It was home to the Toronto Stock Exchange when it opened in 1937, and its sleek Art Deco lines suit its new life perfectly. I zero in on the massive doorway, and the frieze above it.
One of the city's great long-running jokes centres on that frieze. More specifically, on the 4th & 5th figures from the right. (I'm counting the group just before the 4th figure as a single entity.) You've found them? Okay. So. The 4th man wears a hat, he represents Businessman. The 5th man, the guy in front of him, does not wear a hat and represents Worker.
Now look at Businessman's right hand, thrust forward so vigorously. Where is it? If you have a good imagination, or love a joke, or identify with Class Warfare, you will answer: "The Businessman's hand is in the Worker's pocket!"
Phew, what a lot of language to decode an image. (There must be a lesson in that observation.)
And now finally — and I can think of no clever link, so I won't fake one — finally, we come to…
The Book
A couple of posts ago, I told you I'd just completed a new book (through Blurb), a book on Toronto street art called Walking the Streets & Lanes.
I invite you to go have a look, riffle those pages, walk the streets & lanes with me: http://www.blurb.ca/b/5103381-walking-the-streets-lanes.

There is a phrase people used to use this time of the year along the lines of 'goodwill to all men'. I haven't heard it for a while, have you? Not even paraphrased to '…all men and women' or even '… to all humankind'.
Those of you who have been reading my blogs for a while will have noticed that I'm always encouraging you to give random acts of kindness.
I just remembered reading an interview with Mother Theresa where the journalist was shocked at the squalor of her environment and praised her selflessness. In reply, she exclaimed, "You don't understand! I'm happy!"
There is such a thing as 'enlightened self-interest' which is another way of saying that we givers benefit just as much (if not more) than the recipients!
If you're in any doubt, then here's the result of one particular piece of research that caught my eye.
Did you know that kindness is contagious? It's true! It doesn't just affect the giver and the recipient but even people who saw you doing it! Apparently, it makes them more likely to 'pay it forward'.
'Paying it forward' gets its name from the lovely film of the same name. The phrase seems to have become mainstream (just like 'bucket list' which is also the title of a film).
Here's something amazing.
I have become the recipient of a marketing specialist's 'paying it forward' project!
She emailed me out of the blue saying that she and her team had had a fabulous year and so, this time of year they tend to approach some people – this year I'm included in her list – with a view to 'paying it forward'. Can you imagine how that made me feel?
But 'paying it forward' isn't the half of it!
Kindness increases the love hormone! I bet you didn't know there was such a thing. It's the hormone oxytocin. I thought it's produced by things like hugging (which I love!) but, apparently, it's much more.
Oxytocin lowers blood pressure and improves our optimism and self-esteem which is very helpful especially in social situations when we feel awkward.
But oxytocin is not the only hormone generated by random acts of kindness. These acts produce serotonin too – another good hormone that, according to research, does all kinds of great things to improve our physical and emotional wellbeing!
As you can imagine, researchers didn't stop there but you get the idea.
That's why so many people help out in soup kitchens for the homeless over the Christmas period. Yes, they are open-hearted and generous but I bet they feel great doing it!
What acts of kindness could YOU do?
With love and gratitude,

At Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe, one waiter, a Salvadoran, is a vegan who can't eat most of the food on the menu. Another is a prize-winning Latino poet who recently graduated from Venice High School and has applied to Sarah Lawrence. He has written a poem on the men working in the Rutt's kitchen. The owner himself, an Egyptian, was in the pizza business before he bought Rutt's.
Behind the bar are 10 photo albums, every page filled with pictures of life inside Rutt's. They were shot by Frank, a regular who died four years ago, and frequently feature his wife, Hiroko, who no longer comes in. Lots of other people do though, sometimes twice a day, making Rutt's a Hawaiian version of "Cheers." There's Larry, Tom, Hank, Paul and Dave, a group of Asian men who use Rutt's as a breakfast club. There's the man whom waitress Socorro Escobedo calls Don Jose, who owns, she thinks, an auto business nearby. There are Betty and Susan, who became best friends the day Betty saved Susan's life. They live in the trailer park around the corner, not the only thing around this stretch of Washington Boulevard in Culver City that slings you back in time. But there's a new private school across the street, and one block away a restaurant called leaf that looks very lower-case hip. You have to wonder how long this time warp will last.

The joy of a homemade biscuit
The first is that you know what is in them. Yep, lots of fat, sugar, syrup etc.. but you know what fat, sugar and syrup, and there are no nasties. A little bit of what you fancy does you good and everything in moderation are old fashioned sayings, but never a truer word..
The second thing is that they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Big fat ones to have with cups of tea. Middle sized ones for the kids to have when they get home from school. Little ones to sneak from the tin whilst pretending that you didn't really eat that.. oooooh no.
I love homemade biscuits.

How do I choose my wedding hairstyle color?
Your bridal hair color should not just complement the color of your wedding gown, but your eyes and skin tone too. Avoid extreme hair color just before your big day, if you want to make a total turn around, say from blonde to black, rather experiment about six months before your wedding day. This is enough time to ease into a color for your ceremony day or if you do not like it, to undo any mistakes. A professional hairstylist should be able to guide you into the right decisions in choosing the color according to your skin and personality tone. A person with a warm complexion tend to look better with copper, burgundy, red, warm brown's and shades of warm blonde. Where a person with a blue or pink undertone will look great in cool shades. Did you know that blue eyes is brought out with shades of red? Highlights will also play a role in the definition of bridal updos hairstyles especially if the hair is platted or weaved.
How do I prepare my hair for the wedding day?
A woman's hair is her crown; therefore choosing the perfect bridal hairstyle will either complement or destroy your whole image. Start by using the correct hair treatment that will suit your hair. Your local hair salon will come in handy in analyzing your hair for you to make the right choice in hair care products and treatments. If you have long hair, do not brush hair from root to tip, this could cause breakage and split-ends. Rather brush tangled hair from the mid-bottom down wards to help untangle hair. Repeat brushing in sections starting every time just a bit higher as the previous time. With this your hair will look much healthier and will prevent split-ends.
Can I use accessories?
Picking up accessories for your wedding updo hairstyle or if you have medium to short hair depends upon your personality and detail of your bridal gown. If you are a shy yet formal type of woman, you would like a stylish tiara, not to bold but maybe a bit more formal. A woman with more of an outgoing personality would tend to go for a more romantic and flowing look, with lots of loose curls and a funky tiara, top hat, flowers or even bold crystals or pearls. The style of the bridal gown must also be considered for a very detailed dress should not have a busy hairstyle. To wear a veil is more of a personal choice than a matter of tradition. There are a number of options, from a short veil that hangs loose over your head to a long or short veil that clips in at the back of your updo hairstyle. Try many options before you decide on witch will complement your bridal couture the best.
How do I choose my wedding hairstyle?
Firstly you will have to determine the shape of your face. Is it round, oval, heart shaped, square, diamond shaped or do you have a big forehead or deep-set eyes? Do you have a large nose - you would ask, so what has my nose to do with my hair except for the smell of the cosmetics? Well, if you have an off-center fringe it will take away the emphasis of a large nose or even deep-set eyes. You have to be comfortable with your wedding hairstyle, if you have prominent ears - you might like to cover it with soft curls and a featherlike bridal hairstyle will soften a square jaw line. But if you are easily irritated with hair in your face, rather consider a wedding updo style. As with your color, start to experiment well ahead of your wedding day with a bridal hair style to avoid disappointment. Choose a stylist that will listen and act on your specifications and needs.
How do I schedule all my appointments?
Start with the season in witch your big day falls. If it is spring or summer, keep in mind that this is the most popular time of the year and that you are not the only bride that wants to get married. Start scheduling your appointment for your wedding day and keep in mind that if you have and updo hair style, you will require more time for make-up, styling, and getting you to the church on time. Work backwards in planning a test for your bridal style and color treatments if you do need it. Take time in getting acquainted with your stylist, you have to be able to trust your stylist so that you know that your bridal hairstyle will be picture perfect.

What is Real time Bidding?
Real-time-bidding also known as RTB and real time media buying is a form of online advertisement that basically allows you to show your ads at the exact moment a person would most likely find that ad useful.
This strategy can be used for small businesses and medium to large businesses including corporations and nationwide service providers.
Watch this short video for a brief overview.
Want to watch the full RTB webinar to learn more? Click here.
As a real time bidding company, let us walk you through exactly what that can mean.
Let's say a customer is outside at a certain cross section, which is easy to ascertain with apps that track a person's GPS whereabouts. If your a restaurant in the area, you could serve ads to someone in your vicinity at dinner time to entice a visit. This form of granular targeting was remotely possible until very recently.
In another example, you could be a pain management clinic in San Diego. Anytime a San Diego resident is online, read articles about back pain or knee pain, that page could serve an ad for your business on the spot, driving an emotionally ready candidate to your landing page in hopes of securing an appointment.
The best part is that this form of advertising is substantially cheaper than traditional forms of advertising like Google Adwords and PPC. Not only that but it generates a lot more traffic at a lower cost.
Even more powerful, once you get the click, you can continue remarketing and retargeting to the visitor even if they leave your site.

It's the first question if you want to travel to Singapore. Alright, we will share with you some information about this country in order to you to give decision the best time to visit Singapore depends upon whether you want to avoid busy periods during big festivals or embrace the crowds and join in the fun.
Singapore is one of the most attractive countries in Asean for tourists over the world. This island country welcomes about 15 million visitors every year. With its warm climate all year round, the time to visit Singapore is any time. However, depending on your preference, there are periods of time in various activities affecting tourism here.
July - September: While tourists visit throughout the year, the festive season is a great time to explore the many facets of Singapore, especially around July when the Great Singapore Sale and the Singapore Food Festival take place.
February - April: The months between the summers and winters are quite pleasant. Plenty of outdoor activities become available then.
November - January: The wettest months are between November and January, when showers can last for long periods of time, while the hottest months are May and June.
Whether it's the festive celebration of Chinese New Year or the roar of Formula 1 cars, there's always a party going on somewhere on the island.
Gourmands have a ball during this three-week fine food festival, spread across town at some of the city's best eating and drinking venues. World-renowned celebrity and Michelin-starred chefs, as well as vintners, fly in to preside over a gastronomic orgy, including wine master classes, gourmet BBQs and charity dinners. Book tickets in advance.
For over two decades, SIFF – Singapore's longest-running independent cultural event – has pretty much single-handedly championed foreign, regional and local films (with a competition section for new Asian cinema), and set the agenda for film appreciation outside the multiplex. Expect a serious and provocative mix of up to 300 international documentaries, features, animation, shorts and retrospectives over three weeks.
A sizeable proportion of Singapore's population commemorates the birth, enlightenment and nirvana of the Buddha on Vesak Day (the first full moon day of the fourth lunar month). Vegetarian food is served at Buddhist temples, where devotees flock to make offerings of flowers, incense, oil lamps or lighted candles. Some even release captive animals like turtles and birds as offerings.
The national obsession for shopping becomes even more frenzied during the biggest sale of the year. Department stores, malls and individual boutiques offer discounts that range from cursory to crazy, and late-night shopping events are organised at weekends. Stock up like there's no tomorrow.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2007, this month-long arts extravaganza brings a mind-boggling array of mainstream and experimental music, dance, theatre and visual arts to venues all over town. It's organised by the National Arts Council, and international and regional acts tend to dominate - UK theatre group Station House Opera, Belgian dance outfit Rosas, and the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra appeared in 2006 – but there's local fare too, as well as a slew of free street performances and workshops.
A 2,000-year old festival held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, a Chinese poet who drowned himself in protest at political corruption. Fishermen raced their boats to rescue him, but to no avail. To distract the fish from feasting on his body, people threw bah chang (glutinous rice and meat dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves) into the water. Today, local, regional and international teams race beautifully decorated boats on Bedok Reservoir, while bah chang are sold widely throughout the island.
Another national obsession – eating, and talking about eating – comes to the fore with this month-long string of food events across town. From chilli crab buffets and street stalls selling heritage dishes to chef competitions, cookery workshops and demonstrations, it's a great opportunity to experience the best of the island's gastronomic offerings.
The Chinese believe that during the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell open to allow its spirit inhabitants to roam the earth – so they ritually offer food and burn 'hell money' for their deceased loved ones, ancestors and deities. There's a host of activities, especially in Chinatown and Chinese neighbourhoods, including celebration dinners, loud auctions and outdoor street performances (known as getai) of Chinese opera, puppetry, singing and comedy.
The anniversary of Singapore's independence (a public holiday) is greeted with much pomp and hullaballoo. The official Parade involves patriotic Singaporeans dressed in red and white (the national colours) watching a series of decorated floats, military marches and painstakingly synchronised dances, culminating with fireworks. Formerly held at the Padang or the National Stadium (currently being rebuilt), the event has moved temporarily to Marina Bay. Tickets are free, but only citizens and permanent residents (not tourists) can attend – though the whole shebang is televised live.
Visitors can, however, enjoy the visual extravaganza that is the Singapore Fireworks Festival, also held at Marina Bay and lasting four days. Some 300,000 visitors watched the 2006 displays, with pyrotechnic expertise from Europe and beyond.
Founded by rock legend Peter Gabriel, WOMAD (World Of Music, Arts & Dance) has been entertaining audiences in more than 20 countries for over 20 years. Usually held on the last weekend of August in the lovely leafy setting of Fort Canning Park, the Singapore version draws expat families with kids in tow, clubbers looking to party and all kinds of music-lovers who have been starved of exciting live music all year. Expect bands, DJs, dancers, arts and crafts, and food from Peru to Korea, Australia to Africa.
This Buddhist festival in honour of the full moon is celebrated during the eighth lunar month (especially on the 15th day), and is also known as the Mooncake Festival, Lantern Festival or August Moon Festival. Colourful paper lanterns, elaborate decorations, spectacular street lights, and markets selling traditional goodies abound in Chinatown and elsewhere. Mooncakes – round pastries filled with lotus seed paste, preserved duck egg and other sweet fillings – are sold throughout the island.
Starting on the first day of the tenth lunar month, Hari Raya Puasa (the Malay name for Eid Al Fitr) celebrates the end of the month-long fasting period of Ramadan. Geylang Serai and Kampong Glam – the Muslim areas of town – come alive with festive decorations, street lighting, bustling roadside bazaars and a mouth-watering array of traditional Malay foodstuffs. Hari Raya Haji, which marks the conclusion of the Haj pilgrimage to Mecca, is also a public holiday, but is less of a public event; it usually falls around December.
Singapore joined the biennale club in 2006, hosting a blockbuster showcase of work – on the theme 'Belief' – by 95 artists from over 38 countries. With an internationally renowned curator (Nanjo Fumio, from Tokyo's Mori Art Museum) and most of the work exhibited in public spaces, including churches, temples, mosques and City Hall, it carefully mixed the cerebral and the cryptic with plenty of playful, accessible art. Expect similar things for the next edition in 2008.
Diwali – known in Singapore under its Tamil name, Deepavali – also called the Festival of Lights, is a major Hindu festival for Hindus, Jains and Sikhs throughout the world, symbolising the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Hindu families offer prayers at local temples, which are illuminated with a profusion of oil lamps, candles and fairy lights. For most of October, Serangoon Road, the heart of Little India, is abuzz with spectacular street decorations and lighting, and evening roadside bazaars sell garish jewellery, saris, spices, crafts, jasmine garlands and foodstuffs.
Barefoot Hindus walk across a 4m/13ft bed of red-hot coals to show their devotion to the Goddess Draupadi, who was said to have done the same to prove her innocence. Unstinting concentration is needed by the fire-walkers, and pure faith leaves them unscathed. The ceremony begins about 3am at Sri Mariamman Temple in Chinatown; respectful attire is required. Look out for the Silver Chariot procession around the same date, when a statue of the goddess is carried from Sri Mariamman Temple to Sri Perumal Temple in Little India (Campbell Lane is a good spot from which to see the action).
Legend says that a magical giant turtle turned itself into Kusu Island, off Singapore's southern coast, to save two shipwrecked sailors. Grateful, the sailors visited the island regularly to give thanks. Taoists in Singapore and the region make an annual pilgrimage during the ninth lunar month to Tua Pekong Temple on the island, praying for luck, prosperity and fertility. It gets incredibly busy, so non-pilgrims might want to visit at another time.
The Singapore fashion scene is always striving to keep up with the major fashion capitals, as can be seen at this week-long event, which pulls in players from all over South-east Asia. It includes contests for fledgling designers from Singapore's top four design schools, and culminates in an expensive gala dinner. Paid tickets are needed for most shows, but some events are free.
The original vertical marathon began in 1987. About 1,000 participants race up 1,336 steps to the top of the 73-storey Swissotel The Stamford, South-east Asia's tallest hotel; Bavinder Singh set the fastest time of six minutes 55 seconds in 1989.
Mega-club Zouk organises this gigantic, weekend-long beach party on Sentosa, usually on Siloso or Tanjong Beaches. First held in 2000, it has grown every year: 20,000 revellers turned up in 2006. Local and overseas music acts and big-name DJs play in tents and outdoor arenas; expect everything from rock to hip hop, lounge to house.
All of Orchard Road is dressed in Yuletide finery from late October, marking the beginning of the Christmas shopping and dining rush. Hotels and shopping malls also get in on the act, ensuring that the city's decorations are pretty splendid. There's a parade on Orchard Road on Christmas Day itself (which is a public holiday), but the city doesn't completely shut down – many Singaporeans don't celebrate Christmas, after all – and it's back to normal straight afterwards.
Currently sponsored by Standard Chartered Bank, the Singapore Marathon draws up to 13,000 runners (elite and amateur) from all over the world. Starting at Esplanade Bridge, the route loops through the CBD and beachfront East Coast Park, finishing at the Padang. It's a tough marathon, owing to the island's humid weather, but a spectacular one – during which the city grinds to a momentary halt.
New Year's Eve is celebrated in a big way. The Nation's Countdown is a televised event that includes performances by local celebrities, followed by several big public parties, in varying venues. Bars and restaurants across town throw their own bashes, as do popular entertainment hubs like Clarke Quay and Esplanade. The morning after, streamers and other debris litter the streets – the only day you'll find Singapore less than spotless.
Thanks to Singapore's largely Chinese population, this is the biggest festival/holiday period of the year. In the weeks leading up to New Year, celebrations erupt all over the island, but are centred on Chinatown, with street lighting, music, performances and a massive street market hawking traditional Chinese goodies, decorative items and food. Associated events include the wonderfully kitsch Chingay Parade of Dreams (www.chingay.org.sg), on Orchard Road, an outdoor variety show, float parade and carnival rolled into one; and the River Hong Bao fair next to Esplanade.
One of the most colourful and ritual-heavy festivals in Singapore, held in honour of the Hindu deity Subramaniam (Lord Murugan). Penitents carrying kavadis – elaborately decorated semi-circular structures with skewers and hooks piercing the body – walk the 3km/2-mile route from Little India's Sri Perumal Temple, via Serangoon Road, Selegie Road, Penang Road and Clemenceau Avenue, to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple. Friends and family chant in support as they go.
We hope that above information to help you have chosen the best time to visit Singapore. Have a good trip to Singapore!

Thursday marked a new chapter in my life. Whilst the rest of the world went on with their daily shenanigans, this day opened new doors for me. It brought with it bouts of emotions, nostalgia and even glimpses of a solid future.
For as long as I can recall- I have always wanted to climb this career ladder albeit slowly. I had always wanted to devour the experiences piece by piece- enjoying the experiences and learning from the mistakes.
Thursday was a classic end to one season of my long story.
The college years for me had been a blur of playing around, being serious only when the time called for it, meeting a jolly good variety of the human species…and the list goes on.
It brought about with it the memories of skipping class to attend social events.Skipping class again, to nurse all the after effects of the social events. The memories of assignments done just in the nick of time. Of being able to cook up a million different excuses for being late to lectures…
It brought about a bout of nostalgic memories – of the people who I knew when I started off. Of the people I met along the way. Of the crazy ones who made the journey so much more interesting, of the ones who helped me discover myself. And most importantly of the ones I lost on the way.
It made me realize how a couple of people would have loved to see this achievement. Of how they were no longer a part of this joyous achievement. Some by choice – and yet others by the harsh hands of this ultimate cycle of life and death.
And those are the people who I feel I owe it most to. Despite the circumstances, those were the ones who saw me off on this long journey. Who held my hand from near and far – and walked right behind me. To these few- Im sure you will be proud now. The journey you saw me off on is now complete. Your part in my life as much as it will be never be talked about will always be etched somewhere.
So away from the emotions- Thursday was fantastic!! I saw the closest to me happier than ever! I saw a mother filled with confusion and tears of joy!! I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Actually- I was out of that tunnel!!
The feeling was ecstatic. The words said it all.
"Congratulations. You are now an ACCA affiliate"
After a long weekend and loads of slack – Im looking forward to a whole new chapter that awaits me.
Here's to new beginnings and a sense of accomplishment.

Washington, DC, US (PANA) - The US Mission to Somalia has commenced operation, the US State Department announced in a statement obtained by PANA here Wednesday.
However, it said the Mission would operate out of the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, and would be headed by a Charge d'Affaires pending the appointment of a US Ambassador to Somalia.
The State Department said the new mission reflected a continuation of U.S. efforts to normalize the U.S.-Somalia bilateral relationship since recognizing the Federal Government of Somalia on 17 January 2013.
The launch of the U.S. Mission to Somalia is the next step towards re-establishing a diplomatic presence by the United States in Somalia, as announced by Secretary of State John Kerry on 5 May 2015, during his historic visit to Mogadishu.
According to the State Department, the U.S. officials will continue to travel to Somalia to conduct official business as security conditions permit.

text: Azealia Banks definitely is a unique voice in hip-hop right now. I love that her beats sound like they were stolen from long lost underground 90's electronic rave music and that on top of having great flow she also has the skill to sing her own hooks, a voice that stacks up with any of the great R&B singers out there right now. This video was directed by the same guy who directed her sexy western video for "Liquorice" and its sexy dark vibe fits "Van Vogue" perfectly.

Red sky in the morning ... but no shepherd's warning! The day turned out to be yet another beautiful autumn day with plenty of sunshine. Is that water temperature ever going to go down to 10 celsius?!
this morning's sun rise - taken from my office window before heading off to the Lido
soon after the sun made it over the tree line at the Lido
Ian, swimming along side Sue, decided to wear his wet suit today - he admitted : "It made a huge difference!"
Still he couldn't quite decide whether to swim another couple of lengths with Sue :)
Sue pushing off on her own ... only to be joined by Chris - her "usual" sparing partner -
Vince in his unmistakable gliding style
David and Vince basking in the sun
leaf and flip flop
Alison still swimming with no cap (at all!) while most swimmers including myself are down to wearing 2 caps (in protection of the cold water)!
Alex really felt the cold today - the water temperature is at 11celsius and he is still swimming 18 lengths
he was fine in the water but the hot shower had played a reverse effect on him. The body feeling the hot water on its surface stops heating up from the inside which is the why Alex had to juno up and down to warm up before jumping on his bike to cycle tom work.
