BANGI, 7 June 2012 – Education Specialist, Dr Maya Kassandra Soetoro-Ng, a half-sister of US President Barrack Obama, has proposed an exchange of teaching staff between The University of Hawaii, where she teaches and The National University of Malaysia (UKM).
Dr Maya Kassandra, who is an assistant professor of education, said such an exchange will broaden the horizons of the respective institutions.
She visited UKM's PERMATApintar®, the National Gifted Centre, today as part of a four member delegation from the East-West Center (EWC) of Hawaii now on a visit to Malaysia until June 11.
Other members of the delegation are the Centre's President, Dr Charles Morrison; Board Member, Puongpun Sananikone and the Director for its Education Programme, Dr Terrence Bigalke. They were welcomed by UKM Vice-Chancellor, Prof Tan Sri Dato' Wira Dr Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan Shahabudin.
The delegation was briefed on PERMATApintar's activities to nurture young precocious talents.
Dr Maya Kassandra suggested that UKM lecturers explain to Americans about the Islamic World, something that her compatriots don't know enough of.
She in turn would lobby for more funds from the US Government for EWC to carry out student and teacher exchanges with Malaysia.
The East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii aims at promoting better relations and understanding among the nations and peoples of Asia, the Pacific region and the United States through cooperative study, research and dialogue.
Dr Morrison said there were at least five Malaysian students who had graduated from UKM undergoing various courses in the United States, through the good offices of the EWC. Three are at Stanford University in California, the University of Wisconsin and Brown University in Indiana,.
Dr Morrison said he did not see why students from PERMATApintar would not be able to follow the same path.
Dr Maya Kassandra was born in Jakarta, Indonesia and is the maternal half-sister of President Obama. Her father is Javanese, while Obama's is Kenyan.
While living in Indonesia, she was home schooled by her mother, Anne Dunham and then attended the Jakarta International School from 1981 to 1984.
Like her older half-brother Obama, Dr Maya Kassandra returned to Hawaii where she continued her high school education graduating in 1988.
She is an alumna of Barnard College in Manhattan, New York. She received her master's degree in secondary language studies and English from New York University and a PhD in international comparative education from the University of Hawaii.
A statement from the Institute of Strategic and International Studies (ISIS) Malaysia said Dr Maya Kassandra and delegation is scheduled to call on Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and Deputy Prime Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Dr Maya Kassandra is also due to launch a collection of 20 Indonesian batik pieces belonging to her late mother at the Islamic Arts Museum.
She and her delegation's visit is organised by the EWC and hosted by ISIS Malaysia in cooperation with Tun Daim Zainuddin's office and the embassy of the United States in Kuala Lumpur.
In 2009 Dr Maya Kassandra helped brought her mother's dissertation to publication in the form of the book Surviving against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia.

Kosheen "Solitude" – Album Review
Kosheen Records (2013)
November 26, 2013 by Jon O'Brien
Making up for lost time following their five-year hiatus, trip-hop/drum 'n' bass trio Kosheen now return with their second studio album in just over twelve months and one which is also intended to "represent the band breaking free from some behind-the-scenes stuff," Solitude.
The band's mission statement would suggest that a reinvention is on the cards. But disappointingly, the majority of its eleven tracks stick to the same kind of meandering industrial-lite electronica that swamped last year's equally unmemorable Independence.
Indeed, learning nothing from the mistakes of their previous effort, Kosheen have once again failed to utilise their most valuable weapon – the impassioned, gutsy tones of frontwoman Sian Evans – and instead have allowed Darren Decoder and Markee Substance's repetitive horror-themed production to take centre stage.
The overwhelming sense of menace is initially intriguing. Lead single "Harder They Fall" throws in a haunting string loop which resembles the theme to Hitchock's Psycho on a pulsing bass anthem which harks back to their clubbier roots. Likewise, the skittering drum 'n' bass of "Observation" even samples the brief opening track ("Demonstrate") from their striking 2001 debut, Resist, while "Save Your Tears" combines spooky analog synths with a throbbing bassline and disjointed beats to produce a hypnotic slice of dystopian electronica.
But Solitude falls apart during its tiresome second half, thanks to a string of sinister but aimless instrumentals ("Up In Flames," "I"), a generic foray into dubstep which drowns out Evans' vocals with its murky heavy-handed production ("Poison"), and an unsettling beatless soundscape ("Here & Now") which appears to be aiming for Boards Of Canada but just ends up sounding bored.
Kosheen were once hailed as a potential successor to the likes of fellow Bristolians Massive Attack and Portishead. But Solitude, their second dud album in a row, shows that these lofty comparisons were well wide of the mark.
Jon O'Brien on MUSIC IS MY OXYGEN WEEKLY.
Jon O'Brien's love of music began as a six-year-old after becoming bizarrely transfixed with the 80s poodle rock of Heart, Europe and Def Leppard. Switching his attention to pop icon Michael Jackson, he then became addicted to the UK Top 40, becoming a rather pointless walking Wikipedia of chart positions in the process. Driving his poor neighbors up the wall while learning to play the drums as a teen, he toyed with the idea of becoming a musician, but in studying Journalism at the University of Central Lancashire, he realized heÕd rather write about music than perform it. Since then, he's written thousands of reviews and biographies on everything from bubblegum pop to death metal, but electronica remains his main passion, with everything from Aphex Twin to Zero 7 in his spare room-consuming record collection. Jon resides in northwest England near Liverpool.

With a Windows Phone 7, it was quite difficult to make a print screen of our smartphone, something that can be done very quickly and easily from an Android or iOS.
Finally, Microsoft has decided to offer the same functionality as other OS and the Windows Phone 8 has included the ability to take screenshots. Here are the steps to follow to get a quick print screen.
When we have on the display what we want to capture, we must simultaneously press the "Start" button and the power button. The pictures that we take are stored directly on the photo hub, where we can easily share them. Once acquired, we can save these images on SkyDrive or share them on the social networks.
To save images on SkyDrive, we must first go to the app "Photos" that we can find in the application's list. Once inside the app, we need to click on "More" (three points), and then go to "Settings".
Under the Auto upload option, we will find SkyDrive. From here, you just have to select which quality you want when you move the image. "Good quality" corresponds to low resolution, while if we want a high resolution, we should choose "best quality".
As in the previous case, we go to "Photos" app in the application list. Once there, we open the image we want to share, click on "More" and select the sharing option. From there, we can choose in which social network we to want publish it.
Clicking on the text box we can write a caption or the tweet if we are going to share it on Twitter. In the latter case, if we choose to share an image on Twitter, it is saved in a public folder on SkyDrive and the link to the publication will be shared.

Mahatma Gandhi's non-violence philosophy and work made him one of history's strongest symbols of peace. Despite the fact that he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize several times, he was never awarded the prize. In a unique exhibition India and Gandhi are captured through the camera lens of legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Cartier-Bresson met Gandhi the same day he was shot, and documented India in grief after the spiritual leader's death.
Photographs, films, texts and interactive installations give the audience a chance to know the man who has been a great inspiration to several Peace Prize laureates. A short film produced for the exhibition highlights why Gandhi never was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
The exhibition is presented in cooperation with Magnum Photos.


Vertigo is a sort of dizziness characterized by a sensation that you or your environment are moving, spinning, falling or tilting although there is no actual movement.
It may be accompanied by other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, loss of balance, tinnitus, temporary hearing loss or a feeling of fullness in the ear.
Vertigo itself is more of a symptom than a disease and is different from the nonspecific lightheadedness or dizziness.
The most common form of vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), caused by a disturbance in the calcium particles called otoliths in the semicircular canals of the labyrinth of the inner ear. Older individuals are more prone to this problem.
It is characterized by a sensation of motion, brought on or made worse by sudden head movements or positional changes. It usually lasts for less than a minute.
Some other conditions that can lead to vertigo are labyrinthitis (inflammation of the inner ear structure called labyrinth), Meniere's disease, vestibular neuronitis (inflammation of the vestibular nerve usually caused by a viral ear infection), head injury and migraines.
It can also be due to problems in the brain or nerves or a side effect of certain medications.
In some cases, vertigo will improve on its own over a period of time. You can also try exercises like the Epley maneuver, and other home remedies for relief.
Consult your doctor before trying these remedies as individual cases may vary. Furthermore, some cases may require treatment by a specialist or even surgery.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for vertigo, in order of effectiveness.
The Epley maneuver can be highly beneficial in treating vertigo, especially benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), without any serious adverse effects.
Research has found this procedure can help resolve BPPV effectively and rapidly.
Sit on a bed and place a pillow behind you so that it will be under your shoulders when you lie down.
Quickly lie back with your shoulders on the pillow and head reclined onto the bed for about 30 seconds.
Go, without raising your head, turn it 90 degrees to the right and wait for another 30 seconds.
Now, while keeping your head in its current position, quickly turn your whole body another 90 degrees to the right and stay in this position for 30 seconds.
Slowly sit up, bringing your head to the center.
Repeat this procedure three times daily until you are without vertigo for at least 24 hours. In most cases, symptoms resolve within a week. It is best perform all the three cycles of this maneuver at night before going to sleep rather than in the morning or midday.
Check out the following video to see the procedure demonstrated.
Ginger can help deal with vertigo because it promotes blood circulation to the brain and also relieves nausea. A study of the vertigo-reducing effects of ginger found it also alleviates related issues like motion sickness and migraines.
Simply chewing a piece of ginger on a regular basis can help alleviate this problem.
Prepare ginger tea by steeping one teaspoon of grated ginger in a cup of boiling water for about five minutes and then strain it. You can sweeten it with honey. Drink it twice daily for a few weeks.
Another option is to take ginger in supplement form (consult your doctor for appropriate dosage).
Note: Talk to your doctor before taking ginger as it may interfere with certain medications like anticoagulant, antidiabetic and blood pressure medications.
Ginkgo biloba is a wonderful Chinese traditional medicine that helps increase blood flow to the brain, thereby reducing the dizzy sensation.
Take 120 to 160 mg of ginkgo biloba extract in two or three divided doses daily for three months. You will start noticing improvement after eight to 12 weeks.
Coriander seeds is a popular Ayurvedic remedy for vertigo.
Soak one teaspoon each of coriander seeds and Indian gooseberry (amla) powder in a cup of water.
Strain and drink this solution the next morning. To improve its taste, you may add a little sugar or honey.
Repeat daily for a few days.
Cardamom has a soothing smell and health properties similar to that of ginger, thus helping in the natural treatment of vertigo. Plus, the massaging action used in this remedy will help alleviate the problem.
Slightly heat two teaspoons of sesame oil.
Mix in one-half teaspoon each of powdered cinnamon and cardamom.
Gently massage your head with this oil and leave it on for a few hours.
Do this several times a week for a few weeks.
Due to its light, spicy and sweet smell, basil works as an aromatherapy remedy for dizziness and vertigo.
Boil three or four basil leaves in one cup of milk.
Inhale the smell and drink this healthy tonic daily before going to bed.
Do this for at least a few weeks.
Massage therapy can help resolve balance issues and reduce dizziness by working on the trigger points in the anterior neck muscles. It will also improve circulation, and relieve neck pain and stiffness too.
An Indian head massage, also known as champi, will also help resolve headaches, migraines, tinnitus and insomnia. It works the upper three chakras called vishuddha, ajna, and sahasrara.
You can do a simple massage yourself daily by gently massaging your head, neck and upper back in circular motions. For proper massage though, sessions with a skilled massage therapist are highly recommended.
Note: Avoid vigorous massage, especially if you have a bleeding disorder or you are taking blood-thinning medications.
Valerian is useful for dealing with vertigo caused by nervous exhaustion. It also helps with issues like insomnia, and anxiety.
Steep one teaspoon of dried valerian root in a cup of water for five to 10 minutes. Strain and drink this tea up to three times daily for two to three weeks.
Take one teaspoon of valerian tincture once or twice daily for two to three weeks.
Note: Do not take valerian for a prolonged time as it can be addictive. Plus, consult your doctor before taking herbal remedies.
Herbalists believe that lemon balm can help with problems like anxiety, depression, hypertension, migraines, insomnia, nervous tension and vertigo as it is good for the nervous and circulatory systems. Plus, it has antiviral properties.
Boil a cup of water. Add one teaspoon of dried lemon balm to it and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain the tea and drink it a few times a day for a few weeks.
You can also inhale lemon balm oil directly but not for a prolonged time.
Note: Consult your doctor before taking herbal remedies.
Another Ayurvedic remedy prepared by a combination of almonds, pumpkin seeds, wheat and poppy seeds may also help reduce dizziness and vertigo.
Soak seven or eight almonds, seven or eight pumpkin seeds, three tablespoons of wheat and one teaspoon of poppy seeds (also known as khuskhus) in water overnight.
The next morning, peel the almonds and grind them along with the other soaked ingredients to make a fine paste.
Sauté one-half teaspoon of cloves in two teaspoons of clarified butter (also known as ghee).
Add the almond paste and a cup of milk to the mixture, bring it to a boil and then turn off the heat. You can sweeten it with a little sugar.
Drink this daily for a few days.
In addition to these remedies, it is essential to keep yourself hydrated. Dehydration contributes to dizziness and lightheadedness. So, drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when you feel dizzy.
Plus, you can perform more balance exercises to make the dizziness subside. Acupuncture, breathing techniques and meditation can also be helpful in this regard.
This is great. I suffer from this from time to time. Usually after a sudden or hard head movement but it lasts for days on end. I have no idea which ear its associated with. Started after I began listening to music turned up loud with ear buds when I used to catch the bus. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the info my started after I took drugs for fever and I have been having vertigo in my left ear has this ringing sounds for quite some time now I will try these remedy and also see a doctor.

Grundfos opens factory in R...
Grundfos opens factory in Russian growth market
A booming economy, intensive building activity and an extensive demand for the replacement and renovation of existing pump plants have created the basis for the 10,000 m2 of production facilities near Moscow, which Grundfos opens today in order to supply the Russian market directly with efficient and energy-saving pumps.
Years of record growth
"Russia is one of the fastest growing markets in the world for Grundfos. Year after year, sales of Grundfos pumps rise by rates of 40 to 50 per cent.
We expect this extremely positive trend to continue. For some time, our distribution channels have struggled to keep up with market demands. But during 2004, we have invested in building internal sales competencies and targeted external sales and distribution channels to ensure professional service to our customers", says Group President Jens Jørgen Madsen, Grundfos.
Optimum ability to supply ensured
"At the same time, we would like to show that we appreciate the great interest in our products by ensuring optimum ability to supply to our customers. That is why we have invested in production facilities, storeroom and a distribution centre and why we have made sure to have plenty of room to expand production capacity in Russia in the future. Initially, the factory will be used for the assembly and test of components from other Grundfos production facilities in Europe. However, we plan to find local suppliers who can take part in the supply chain", Mr Madsen explains.
Grundfos entered what was then the Russian market as early as in 1962, and in 1992 the Group was ready to open an agent's office. In 1998, Grundfos opened its own sales company in Moscow, and today the Group has a string of offices by which to serve the growing number of Russian customers.
By the factory opening in Russia, Grundfos underlines that the globalisation of production facilities is continuing at full speed in 2005. Thus, the factory in Russia, together with factory openings in China and India, will mean that the Grundfos Group opens a total of 55,000 m2 of new production space this year.

Wen susan first penned her hopes and dreams for her two sons, parents and sons everywhere responded with recognition and delight. In this new edition, she supplements the insight of her earlier work with new poems she wrote while watching her sons grow into young men. Stephen Schutz's tender illustrations are the perfect complement to Susan's eloquent verse; together they capture the wonder of parenthood and the joys of having a son.
The death of your child breaks you. With some luck, you may be able to rebuild most of who you were before that loss so that you are not a complete stranger, even to yourself. Even then, you know that you will never be the same again. There will always be a piece of you missing, leaving you forever broken. With the loss of her son, Jeramie, to a car accident, author Daynabelle Anderson found this to be true of herself: a forever broken mom. She then had to decide whether to fight it and live her life, trying in vain to be whole again, only to punish herself over and over when her efforts resulted in failure. Or she could accept that this was who she was now--to allow herself to be broken and to forgive herself for it. She chose the latter, and now she chronicles her journey into that brokenness. This personal narrative offers one mother's story and her perspective on how to live with grief, intended for anyone who has lost a loved one and who feels pressured to move on.
Dear Dad . . . Are you a father who longs to leave your son some simple words of encouragement as he begins his own faith journey as an adult? Do you feel like you have, on one hand "said it all," but on the other hand, are not sure that you have communicated the most important things pertaining to the soul? Are you wrestling with entrusting him to "Another Father" as he moves away from your daily influence? If your answers are "Yes" to these questions, then this compilation of heart-felt letters is a must read for you and your son! This book consists of 39 letters put into 12 chapters of authentic, self-disclosing communication from a father to son that holds universal application to every father and young adult son journeying in faith together.
Inspiring and heart-stirring, this is an Award-winning Gift book that says everything a mother would say to her son as he leaves his childhood behind. Gentle words of wisdom filled guidance and inspiration paired with beautiful black and white photo images, serve to empower, uplift, and encourage the reader at any age to believe in a full and happy life while believing in their own greatness within, as well as the greatness of life itself. A timeless message whispered in every mother's voice.
This is the story of letters written to my son while he was incarcerated in county jail. My story begins when my son Jonathan was a minor and living with his mother after his parents' divorce. Jon took his mother's car and ran into a lady's porch. The police were called and found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the car. Prior to this, Jon was "hanging out" with a group of young goths (Satanic group). This was a young group of kids dressed in black and worshiping the devil. John went to court and was sentenced to probation for one year for his first offence in the First Offenders Program. When he completed the course, the conviction would be sponged from his record. Jon saw his probation officer monthly. John had drugs in his drug tests, and his attitude did not change. The probation officer gave him a second chance, and he was sentenced to another year of probation. Jon's mother called me and asked me to take Jon and take him to his probation meetings. I did this, and Jon was still hanging out with the goths and still was not passing his drug tests. Probation sent Jon to court, and he was put in work release. Work release placed Jon at Wendy's. The first night of work, Jon returned from Wendy's high; he was then placed in the main jail. This is when the letters between Jon and I began, and the story begins.
A Letter to My Son copyright (c) 2004, 2009 by Kim S. All rights reserved. A few people have asked me, "Is this book an autobiography? It sure sounds like you." The answer to that question is: "Yes and no." A Letter to My Son is based on some of my life experiences; but, many of the characters inside are fictional, and some of the story ideas were sparked by nothing more than a telephone conversation. In retrospect, this book is more a reflection of my mindset, at that time, than my whole reality. I saw myself as a victim in life, stemming from a family tragedy that occurred when I was a teenager; and, this is the vantage point from which I continued to view the world around me for many years to come. The stories in A Letter to My Son are the snippets of my life experience that I chose to focus on back then. Evidently, the more I dwelled upon this notion that I was a casualty of unfair circumstance, the more I attracted people and situations that proved me right. I believe we always prove ourselves right. We all receive what we expect to receive from life, and we attract the circumstances that match our personal vibrations at any given time. This is a natural, impartial law of our universe-just as gravity is-and I believe this book demonstrates it very clearly. At the time I wrote A Letter to My Son, I had no idea why I was so compelled to purge these pessimistic thoughts from my system in such a public way. But, several years later, I know. It's as though it was meant to be, all along, and my second and third books bring it all full circle. I was saying "good-bye" to that troubled phase in my life and opening myself up to something new. Two and a half years later, "something new" arrived-a more optimistic viewpoint that changed the path I was on and spawned the creation of my second book titled A Letter to My Daughter. About the Author When Kim S. published her first book, A Letter to My Son, in 2004, she had no idea why she was compelled to purge her negativity in such a public way. But several years later, she knows. It s as though it was meant to be all along, and her second and third books bring it all full circle. A Letter to My Son was based on some of Kim s life experiences, but many of the characters were fictional and some of the story ideas were sparked by nothing more than a telephone conversation. The book, which stemmed from a family tragedy that happened when she was a teenager, was a reflection of her mindset at the time. She saw herself as a victim of circumstance, and this was the vantage point she viewed the world from for many years to come. After being introduced to the Law of Attraction in early 2007, Kim S. was so inspired that she wrote and published her second book, A Letter to My Daughter, in record speed. It expressed a joyful time in her life, and it communicated a message of being true to yourself while respecting other people s choices. Kim resolved to put this theory to the test to determine, for herself, if it is true that we get what we focus on. After nearly three years of consciously and deliberately applying the principles of the Law of Attraction in her life, she is proud to present her third book, titled 11:11. Kim S. believes we always prove ourselves right. We all receive what we expect to receive from life, and we attract the circumstances that match our personal vibrations at any given time. This is a natural, impartial law of our universe just as gravity is and each of her books demonstrates it very clearly in its own way. "
How should I teach my child to live? What paths are the right direction? What roads lead to ultimate harm, and how can he discern the difference--especially in a generation that has lost its map? In this book an eye doctor helps his young son to see the advice of the wisest king to ever live, through the lenses of today's world.
"Who Will Tell Me what Happened to My Son?"
This 38-page report examines Russia's response to European Court judgments on cases from Chechnya. In almost all of the 115 rulings, the court concluded that Russia was responsible for extrajudicial executions, torture, and enforced disappearances, and that it had failed to investigate these crimes. In the 33 cases researched by Human Rights Watch, Russia has still not brought a single perpetrator to justice, even in cases in which those who participated in or commanded the operations that led to violations are named in the European Court judgments--Publisher's website.
This is a journal about a son and his mother. It may be the most precious gift a mother will ever give her son. This journal will help the son understand his mother, and show why he became the person he is today.
A mother's heart should never have to grieve over the death of her child. Yet it happens all the time. I have gone through the traumatic experience of the illness and death of my adult son, but God gives me strength and comfort to continue with my life, taking it one day at a time. As I grieve for my son, time has healed the intensity of my pain. I rejoice because of the promises of God; that he goes with me into each new day. God's hand remains upon my family to this day. My family is in the exact place that God wants us to be, and tomorrow God will still be with us. The God of life has given me strength to walk through the darkest days and fills my future with hope. He can do it for you too.
Many years ago, I was one of those naive expectant mothers who thought that a simple formula of faith, love and discipline would produce the perfect child. Those who had a problem child, I surmised, either didn't have enough religion in their home, didn't love their child enough or didn't discipline him/her enough. So when, much to my dismay and perplexity, my child began to display chronic problem behaviors I blamed myself. To make matters worse, the counselors we sought out for help blamed me also! As I searched for answers during this difficult time, however, I discovered many things about myself, my son, human nature and God that profoundly changed my views on parenting and religion. My discoveries also led to a better understanding of God's unconditional love and enabled me to give this most precious of all gifts to my first born child. My life has been tremendously blessed by going through this most challenging experience and I hope, as you read my story, that your life, and your parenting experience, will be enriched also.
This is the story of an ordinary woman whose grief - and love - for her only son compelled her to do something extraordinary. When Margaret Davis's beloved son Steven was murdered by his own wife, a Philippino former prostitute, she travelled across continents to track down her son's killers and bring them to justice, and to rescue her grandchildren. Based on Margaret's own diaries, notes and emails, this tells not only the awful but utterly compelling story of her perilous journey, but also of how she has dealt with her crippling grief, and how she has striven to save and protect two small children caught up in the violent crossfire of their parents' failing marriage. It is a tale of two cultures that clashed, with terrible results. And it is a tale of how one mother, faced with her worst nightmare, has fought for justice for her son and some kind of healing for herself and the others left behind after his appalling death.
This beautiful gift book is one that any parent would be thrilled to give to a son. Containing three sections, BOOK OF LOVE FOR MY SON celebrates the love that between a son and a parent. Section one focuses on a parent's memories and the important part they play in shaping the life of a son. Section two contains instructions from parents to sons on how to live a happy and rewarding life. And in section three, parents share dreams for the future for their son.
The book is about a 12 year old girl who's mom decide to leave her dad whom she was very close, than is given to an uncle which results in her running away trying to find a place to belong but instead gets involved in drugs, alcohol, homosexuality, and prostitution with attempts to end her miserable life she has a son named carl God uses holes in his shoes to give her a reason and a will to live by pointing to the holes and saying you see you not just bringing yourself down you are taking him down with you after 21 years God stepped in and her deliverance began.
Not My Son, Not on Mothers Day is a true-to-life story about a mother and son who were both going through a life-altering personal struggle. The mother was struggling with a call to preach, and the son was struggling with substance abuse, which started at a very young age.
Only about 1% of our children are able to tell that someone hurt them sexually. Parents are concerned of the sexual offender's register list, but many of these sexual predators are in our family. I want my story to change how we as parents handle the trauma of our children, who have been sexually abused. I want my story to help children break the silence that they are terrorized into keeping. I want them to be able to tell all. I want parents to let God heal them of the guilt and embarrassment of someone sexually abusing their child, while they are helping the Police and DA prosecute these offenders. Our children need our help to be able to tell about their trauma and who did it. In addition, the law enforcement needs our help. I have designed an Angel Doll that holds a heart in her hands. The heart opens up and has the poem in it "Tell It All My Girl". I want to design a Aslan lion with the poem on his back "Tell It All My Son" with permission of Chronicles Of Narnia. I want to join up with a group to distribute the Angel Doll and Aslan Lion to as many girls and boys who have been sexually abused as I can.
For over 2,000 years after the physical death of Jesus Christ on the Cross, mankind has been asking serious questions about the purpose of life here on earth due to religious confusion, premature deaths, diseases, poverty, famine, illnesses, natural disasters, wars, terrorism, climate change, broken marriages, drought, corruptions, greed, depression, recessions, slavery, addiction, accidents, deformities, immorality, selfishness, repression, etc. Life has been so difficult for most inhabitants of this planet, especially people in poor and underdeveloped parts of the world. Many people have lost faith in God, and some do not even believe that He exists. This book explains my true life story, the story leading up to the external voice of God to me, the reason for the worlds problems, and also the ultimate solutions to the worlds unending problems. Gods anointed single worldwide leader is the only person who can take everyone around the globe forward to everlasting unity, peace, and stability. I am back and ready to put things right once and for all here on planet earth, and I want leaders of this present world to seriously consider my claim as the ultimate leader of the entire world. This book is primarily directed to every soul on this planet, especially believers of the existence of the Almighty God, mostly Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and all other religious establishments that exist. We must all now stand up together for what we believe to be true and move the people of this planet to the promised world. Almighty God will richly bless you as you read this book with an open mind. When the world has lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as My Father taught and directs Me, I speak these things. The purpose of life here on earth is to honour and obey Gods words, worship Him by faith, in truth and in spirit, to work hard and help each other and then enjoy the beauty and majesty of this planet in unity, peace, love and harmony and also the planets our Father is about to reveal to mankind. The ultimate purpose of life is to become gods and to lead an everlasting life.

[SoccerAmerica] 'Developing smarter players: What we should and shouldn't coach at the younger ages — and why' by Christian Lavers
[This article was originally posted on www.socceramerica.com. Click here to see original post.]
RICHMOND, VA (September 30, 2016) – The greatest area for improvement in American youth soccer is in the sophistication of thought and decision-making of players.
While the USA has no shortage of great athletes, and players with a decent level of basic technique are common in top youth leagues, there is a dearth of players at U-14 and above who can read the game, understand decision-making cues, and show creativity and competence in identifying and executing potential solutions.
This independent decision-making process is the bridge that so few players cross between having the technique to manipulate a ball (more common) and having the skill to execute a soccer decision at the right time and place. In fact, the gulf between the millions of youth players at U-12 and younger playing the sport and the few at U-14 and above who show real game insight reflects a vast, systemic issue in development.
This gulf is not created because of ill intent of those involved in youth coaching or parenting; it is created through a fundamental and widespread misunderstanding of what it takes to learn the sport and of what it takes to learn how to think in the game. The systemic confusion is destroying the ability of the vast majority of youth players in America to think, understand, and play at higher levels.
Raising the level of thought and sophistication in youth soccer is not a matter of more rules and regulations, or more lines on the field or greater numbers of players, it is a matter of creating more understanding.
Improving understanding begins with educating parents and coaches about what belongs on the youth field and what does not, and just as critically important and often missing — why it belongs or does not. It is a matter of creating a training process that teaches and empowers young players to make informed decisions based on understanding cues and context in the moment, and in those decisions teaching them to prioritize possession of the ball above all else.
The solutions for change are more obvious than many think, and three suggested thoughts are below.
1. In order to think fast, players must first be taught how to think
This sentence is not a tautology, and understanding the difference between the first clause and the second is critical to understanding how to develop youth soccer players.
Every weekend, on the sidelines of almost every youth game in the country, players will hear multiple variations of the statement "you have to play faster"repeated over and over. While an instruction to "play faster"(or a variant of it) may be a totally appropriate instruction for a more developed soccer player who understands the game, to almost every American player at U-12 and younger, this comment is complete nonsense, and potentially very destructive to thinking in general:
• To a player who doesn't know what to look for, where to look, when to look, or why to make one decision or another, the comment to "play faster"is meaningless. The response from an older, more mature mind is obvious: "do what faster?"
• To a player who has some understanding of decision-making concepts but who struggles to control a bouncing ball, needs an extra touch to control a pass, or struggles to accurately pass with technique, the comment is also meaningless. The snarky internal response from a teenage player with the same technical problems is also obvious: "I know it should be faster, but I can't control the ball."
Telling the vast majority of youth players to play faster — when they do not solidly grasp decision-making principles or when they aren't capable of consistently passing and receiving the ball — is actually unintentionally sending a very different message: "don't think and don't make a mistake by losing the ball."It is equivalent to yelling at an elementary school math student that is first learning multiplication to "multiply faster"— the instruction itself creates panic and an instinct to immediately respond with a random number and hoping to be right.
The instruction for a player to do something faster when he or she is unable to comprehend the reason for the action or physically execute the action is antithetical to thinking and learning.
The random number provided by the pressured math student becomes the random "decision" from the pressured soccer player. You may recognize the symptoms of this panic: (i) players who play towards the first person that they see in front of them — regardless of whether they are open or there is a passing lane to them; (ii) players who play in the same direction they are facing all the time and never look around for other options; or (iii) at its worst, players that simply kick the ball forward and pretend or rationalize that there is intent and thought behind the action. But, in a testament to the efficacy of adult instruction, in every situation they do "it" faster — kick the ball away and lose possession very quickly and very often.
Instead of asking young players to do things faster, we will develop far more thoughtful and sophisticated players in the long-term by asking them to look, evaluate, and decide with the priority of keeping possession, and then by being patient with the time it takes a young mind to process the avalanche of information that comes at them once their eyes and minds are open.
Encouraging young players to take the time to look, evaluate and decide, and to do so while prizing the ball, is what allows them to understand the "why" in their decisions, become creative in their solutions, and then ultimately to learn how to see the game faster and better. This encouragement is the soil for sophistication and empowered decision-making to grow.
As with a math student, a young soccer player needs time to work these things out — to figure out where, when, and how to look, and to think about what decision to make to try to keep the ball. For a player at U-12 and younger, the quantity and speed of information coming to them in a 9v9 game is massive — and intimidating. Which brings up point No. 2.
2. Stop coaching and encouraging high pressing: instructing young soccer players at U-12 and younger to press high is not coaching defending, and it is not teaching anything
Similar to the first point, at first blush this sentence may seem counter-intuitive, but there is a difference between teaching defending and capitalizing on youthful incompetence.
High pressing and defending high on the field is a valid tactic when playing games where the result is most important. It is also valid when challenging players who have understanding of decision-making principles and basic passing and receiving technique to learn how to read the game faster and make faster decisions — in training or in games.
However, encouraging players at U-12 and younger to constantly high press each other is merely using adult, results-oriented thinking and desire to win to take advantage of the naivety and lack of understanding of children. If this sounds harsh, consider a few of the situations in which this type of coaching or encouragement is most obvious:
• Instructing players to press or "mark-up" on the opponent's defenders when the opponent has a goal kick.At these ages, most players can't consistently pass the ball accurately over more than 10-15 yards, and most don't know how to make decisions very well (see point one above). With that knowledge, adults organizing on a goal kick to take away all the options for these players to pass is a great way to create counterattack chances to score — starting only 15 yards from goal. It involves no decision-making and thinking by the players being instructed to press beyond to "mark" (e.g. stand next to) a specific person. It places the opponent in a no-win situation, and takes away almost any chance for them to make a successful decision. This instruction almost entirely takes away any chance for players to think (offensively or defensively) in exchange for the desired outcome of winning a game through manipulation.
• Instructing players to press or "mark" the opponent's defenders when the opponent's goalkeeper has the ball.See all above comments.
• Instructing players to "run through" bouncing balls.In this example, the words themselves betray the thought — "use your body as a blunt object to propel the ball forward toward the goal with whatever surface happens to make contact with it."
These examples are 3 of countless different ways in which "tactical" aggression is encouraged to take advantage of lack of ability or lack of understanding of players at U-12 and younger. Adult encouragement of these actions takes away the ability of every player involved to think: on one side, a player is presented with incredibly little chance of successfully accomplishing any potential decision with the ball, and on the other side a player is relieved of any need to decide how to defend — where to move, when to run, how to make spaces small as a group, etc.
Perhaps most distressing, this type of defensive instruction is most effective when employed against players and teams that are actually encouraged to try to think and make decisions. It is the perfect mis-match of aggression vs. thought, physical vs. mental, now vs. long-term, win vs. develop, instruct vs. teach. While many think it is reflective of "good coaching" it is actually reflective only of misplaced priorities directed very effectively and efficiently.
Instead of encouraging and instructing players at U-12 and younger to high press, development would be greatly enhanced if coaches left defensive pressing totally off the curriculum at these ages, and refrained from coaching it at all (in games and training).
Instead, spend this time teaching almost any other skill or technique in the game (the ability to receive, dribble, pass, or shoot), or encouraging players to think (asking them what they see, where their teammates are, where the space is, etc.). By removing high and mindless pressure from youth soccer, every player on the field would have greater opportunity to think for themselves, find their own solutions, and learn through their own decisions.
Coaching defending at these young age groups should involve teaching footwork, coordination and balance, how to recognize when the ball is protected or not protected, and how to tackle to win the ball instead of just kicking it away. It should revolve around the idea that defending is best done in small spaces, and that players should communicate to try and defend together.
These are sophisticated concepts that players will find much challenge and enjoyment in understanding — and they revolve around decision-making, communication, and empowerment.
If we can raise the level of adult understanding in the first two points, there is one final concept that will help in greatly increasing the chances of developing more sophisticated players.
3. Stop coaching and encouraging a game of field position: constantly coaching and encouraging players to "get behind," "go forward," and "be safe," is not teaching how to attack
Teaching how to attack involves a few fundamental and incredibly complex concepts: (i) how to keep the ball (individually and collectively); (ii) how to advance up the field in possession of the ball; and (iii) how to create chances to score.
Each concept becomes progressively more difficult than the last, because the closer players move to the opponent's goal, the less time and space they typically find — there are more defenders near them and there is more urgency to defend.
It is very easy to skip all of the nuances and details in these concepts, (and all the principles they involve that guide the decision-making process), and jump to the instruction "get it behind the defense." This instruction has a simplistic charm, ruthless efficiency, and convenient correlation to other American sports: the ball is farther away from your goal and closer to the opponent's goal, and now every mistake that is made is in your favor, with little negative consequence.
In fact, when paired with aggression and high pressing, the combination creates a devastatingly effective group of … 10-year-olds — who are not thinking, and who are learning nothing.
Instead of coaching field position, teach players the importance of keeping possession of the ball — and the advantages it provides. Teach them to treasure the ball, and how to position themselves to be in a passing lane to help their teammate so the team can maintain possession of the ball.
Teach them that, if possible, they should receive facing forward but they should always decide whether it makes sense to go forward — or in another direction to find space. Teach them how to recognize what the defenders are doing (are they grouped together or spread out?), and how that positioning impacts where space may exist to help keep possession. Teach them that space means time, and creating space is the first concept in keeping the ball.
This final concept, teaching players how to keep the ball, progress, and create chances, is probably the most difficult thing to do in coaching. It is also the most difficult thing for players to do — because it combines thinking and execution in progressively smaller spaces with more and more defensive pressure.
If as a youth soccer country we can begin to correct the first two areas — (i) to teach thinking before demanding faster actions, and (ii) to limit encouragement of high pressing, we will have exponentially moved the needle in creating a youth environment that fosters more thoughtful and independent players.
Doing so will allow every player more opportunity to look, evaluate, and decide — on both sides of the ball. In some ways, the third point in this article will come as a by-product of correcting the first two — and we will all be better for it.
First, youth players will enjoy the game far more because they will be free to think, learn, and express their own ideas — to see and feel personal growth in understanding every week. As these players age, they will become more intelligent in their understanding of the game, and more confident in their ability to make decisions successfully — and the game will be more intellectually demanding with players making decisions independently, faster and better.
Ultimately, when these players mature, we will see them playing the "beautiful game" that everyone hungers to watch — because the seeds of understanding and empowerment were planted and carefully nurtured so many years prior instead of being suffocated in the results-driven current reality.

Interview with Rachel Walker, 2021 Murrin Prize Winner
Rachel Walker's article, "Facing Race: Popular Science and Black Intellectual Thought in Antebellum America," EAS 19, No. 3 (Summer 2021), 601-40, won the 2021 Murrin Prize.
The Murrin Prize is named for John Murrin (1936-2020), Professor Emeritus of History at Princeton University, who was a scholar of early American history and an active member of the McNeil Center community. The prize is awarded annually for the best article in EAS.
For those readers who might not know, what are physiognomy and phrenology, and why were they so popular in the nineteenth century?
Physiognomy and phrenology were two sciences founded on a deceptively simple assumption: that people's heads and faces revealed their intelligence, character, and personality. You'll notice that I said "sciences" and not "pseudosciences." That's very deliberate. Nowadays, we scoff at physiognomy and phrenology, viewing them as absurd and antiquated disciplines that make a mockery of scientific progress. Yet before the emergence of modern neuroscience and psychology, both elite thinkers and ordinary people saw physiognomy and phrenology as legitimate sciences that could help them better understand human nature. Rather than dismissing the discredited disciplines of the past, I think it's important to take them seriously—not because I see physiognomy and phrenology as legitimate tools for analyzing character (I don't!) but because early Americans did. So, why did these sciences become so popular? Well, to start, they were accessible. You didn't need a college education or fancy laboratory to read heads and faces. All you had to do was surround yourself with people. Second, these sciences promised to take the invisible and make it visible. They were rooted in the idea that abstract traits—like intelligence, virtue, generosity, or combativeness—could be seen in the human body. By making character observable, physiognomy and phrenology made it seem tangible, knowable, and measurable. Third, physiognomy and phrenology furnished scientific evidence for the concept of meritocracy. Yes, these sciences solidified the notion that some people's brains and bodies were better than other's. But they also allowed for the possibility of mental and physical improvement. Physiognomists and phrenologists argued that people's external features would become more beautiful as their inner nature improved. This was a hopeful notion. It allowed Americans to believe that change was possible—that they, too, might develop cultivated minds and beautiful bodies, so long as they worked hard enough.
Figure 1. By carefully crafting his public image, Douglass used visual culture to convey a positive vision of Black physiognomy and genius. He resented white people's depictions of Black heads and faces, arguing that "The European face is drawn in harmony with the highest ideas of beauty, dignity, and intellect." By contrast, white artists, ethnologists, and phrenologists typically depicted Black Americans "with the features distorted, lips exaggerated, forehead depressed—and the whole expression of the countenance made to harmonize with the popular idea of negro imbecility and degradation." Douglass used his own face as a refutation of scientific racism, ultimately becoming the most photographed nineteenth-century American. Profile portrait of Frederick Douglass, ca. 1858.

How did you come to your project exploring physiognomy and phrenology and Black intellectual thought?
Back in 2015, I was looking through old copies of the Anglo-African Magazine at the Library Company of Philadelphia. I found a set of articles by the Black intellectual William J. Wilson. In the series, Wilson guided readers through a fictional picture gallery. As he described a set of imaginary artworks, Wilson provided vivid and rather scientific descriptions of Black heads and faces in order to make broader claims about the Black mind (and about racial equality and human nature more generally). Since I had recently read Christopher Lukasik's book about physiognomy, Discerning Characters (2010), I recognized that Wilson was using physiognomic language. But why? Wasn't physiognomy a science that white scientists used to rationalize and justify racism? Why would a Black abolitionist embrace such a discriminatory discipline? After that, I kept digging. I soon realized that Wilson wasn't unique. Other Black intellectuals embraced physiognomy—and phrenology, too. My task was to figure out why.
Figure 2. An illustration of Camper's facial angle, from Dissertation sur les variétés naturelles qui caractérisent la physionomie des hommes des divers climats et des différens ages, was an anatomical measurement that white thinkers used to defend scientific racism. They argued that facial angles closer to 90 degrees reflected both physical and mental refinement, while smaller facial angles signified degradation. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they also contended that white people had larger facial angles (and thus more sophisticated brains). This image portrays a Caucasian physiognomy super-imposed upon a Black skull. Readers were supposed to note the larger facial angle of the white figure.

How does analyzing the creative ways that Black intellectuals used physiognomy and phrenology to their own benefit shift our understanding of these popular sciences?
Today, most people think of physiognomy and phrenology as harmful forerunners to scientific racism, sexism, and biological determinism. And that's true! Physiognomy and phrenology provided an ostensibly rational justification for discrimination. Even so, some of the most enthusiastic facial and cranial analyzers in the United States were not defenders of the status quo. They were political radicals, feminist thinkers, and Black abolitionists. Why, then, would Black Americans embrace the very disciplines that white people were using to challenge their humanity? The answer is complicated. For one, many Black Americans agreed that heads and faces did, indeed, reveal character. They simply argued that white people had been reading Black minds and bodies incorrectly. If they could only provide people with a new way of seeing Black genius, they ventured, they might use science to fight for racial justice. Some Black Americans also saw physiognomy and phrenology as ethical alternatives to more deterministic sciences (like Samuel Morton's craniometry), which insisted that human potential was determined at birth and inscribed in the bones of every person's body. Physiognomy and phrenology certainly had deterministic elements—and they did a lot of harm. Still, many of the most influential physiognomists and phrenologists believed that society could be reformed—and that every person could improve their mind, body, and social position. As a result, some Black activists embraced these sciences.
Figure 3. In the 1850s and 1860s, Black intellectuals emphasized Wheatley's "finely formed" forehead, facial beauty, and ninety-degree facial angle. In the scientific culture of this time period, these traits were seen as signs of intellectual refinement.

Courtesy of The Library Company of Philadelphia, Rights and Reproductions.
What role does visual culture play in your research?
In recent years, scholars have done phenomenal work to show how Black Americans strategically crafted their public image through visual culture. I've built on that research. What I'm adding, I'd say, is a reminder that we need to think seriously about how early Americans would have read these images. What skills were they using to interpret portraits? When they looked at other people, what did they see? How did they create cultural meaning from physical bodies? And how did they justify their beliefs? Because physiognomy and phrenology were so ubiquitous in the nineteenth century, I'd argue that we simply can't analyze early American visual culture without first understanding the impact of these sciences. They provided the scientific toolkit that people used to make sense of race, gender, and other forms of human difference.
Figure 4. Black Americans found popular sciences like physiognomy and phrenology appealing in part because white phrenologists tended to be anti-slavery in sympathy. While American phrenologists undoubtedly forwarded the intellectual project of white supremacy, they occasionally published positive portrayals of Black minds and bodies. This portrait depicts Sarah Margru Kinson Green, one of the Amistad captives. In the accompanying description, the phrenologists emphasized her "broad and high" forehead (seen as a sign of mental refinement) and argued that her head depicted "independence, perseverance, energy, and unusual intellectual powers; remarkable memory, and the faculty of acquiring education." Bust-length portrait of Sarah Margru Kinson Green, American Phrenological Journal (New York), July 1, 1850. The Library Company of Philadelphia, Rights and Reproductions.
What does your work tell us about the evolution of race science in the early U.S.?
On the one hand, my work tells a familiar story: early Americans used science to construct ideas about race, and white people used science as a tool of racial oppression. On the other hand, my research reminds us that white men were not the only people practicing science. Black Americans, too, used disciplines like physiognomy and phrenology to understand race. They simply read bodies differently than their white counterparts. Of course, it's tempting to imagine that Black Americans universally rejected physiognomy and phrenology, somehow presciently recognizing them as harmful and discriminatory pseudosciences. Ultimately, though, I think it's more useful to acknowledge that Black intellectuals were both products and creators of the intellectual universe that they inhabited. Black Americans were not merely victims of race science. They were practical scientists who developed their own ideas about brains, bodies, and human nature. In the end, they were also imperfect humans who coopted problematic ideologies and used them to advance the struggle for racial justice.

Do You Believe Amnesty Is Dead?
Americans for a Conservative Direction
amnesty for illegals
Chris Chmielenski
FWD.us
legal status for illegal aliens
Numbers USA
Sen. Jeff Sessions
By George Rasley, CHQ Editor | 2/12/14
House Speaker John Boehner has all but ruled out passage of immigration legislation before this fall's elections, saying last Thursday that it would be difficult for the Republican-led House to act on the issue that President Barack Obama has made a top domestic priority.
Why is it that no outside observers of the process appear to believe Boehner?
From talk radio powerhouse Mark Levin, to Senator Jeff Sessions and other conservative supporters of the rule of law and American exceptionalism, to Victor Davis Hanson and other conservative commentators, to NumbersUSA, the Eagle Forum and other organizations that do policy work on immigration and amnesty, you can't find a major voice saying, "Wow, Boehner sure saved us on that one, guess we can fold our tents and stop worrying about amnesty for the rest of the 113th Congress."
Our friend Chris Chmielenski at NumbersUSA pretty well summed-up the state of play on Capitol Hill when he noted that just this week, a subsidiary of Facebook tycoon Mark Zuckerberg's pro-amnesty FWD.us, Americans for a Conservative Direction, launched a $750,000 television ad campaign to sell the "Immigration Principles" revealed by Republican "leaders" at the recent House GOP retreat.
If immigration "reform" and amnesty are dead, why is FWD.us and Americans for a Conservative Direction spending $750,000 on an ad buy promoting "dead" legislation?
Interestingly, the ad doesn't even mention their call for more foreign workers; it instead focuses on the enforcement and amnesty provisions in the principles. But both FWD.us and Americans for a Conservative Direction list amnesty and foreign worker increases as part of their objectives.
Chmielenski is right on target when he noted that while President Obama continues to talk about income inequality and the shrinking middle class, he and Speaker Boehner, among others, are helping the tech tycoons protect their cheap workforce and servant class by advancing amnesty and a vast expansion of the H-1B business visa program.
Mark Levin was equally skeptical last week during one of his hard hitting radio programs on illegal immigration and amnesty.
As Levin put it, since the Republican Party has given up on fighting Obamacare, they have now moved to amnesty as they clearly don't mind that in doing so they are tearing apart the foundation of the country.
Seeming to anticipate Speaker Boehner's comment: "The American people, including many of my members, don't trust that the reform that we're talking about will be implemented as it was intended to be," citing executive actions by the Obama administration that have changed or delayed the carrying out of the president's health care law, Levin said we have a lawless President who refuses to secure the border and can't be trusted on the immigration issue.
Mark Levin's take is that we need a new Republican Party - Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy are all lost causes. If the House GOP "leadership" gets its way and amnesty passes Levin says that the federal courts will find a way to grant citizenship and once they do, political pressure will greatly expand and eventually we'll have blanket amnesty.
We're with Mark Levin and Chris Chmielenski of NumbersUSA on this, but we have a slightly different take on Boehner's comments about trust.
When Boehner said "The reason I said we need a step-by-step common-sense approach to this is so we can build trust with the American people that we're doing this the right way, and, frankly, one of the biggest obstacles we face is the one of trust" everyone thought he was talking about trust in President Obama.
Judging by the commentary since the House GOP "leadership" announced their immigration "principles" it isn't Obama whose trust is at issue – he lost that a long time ago. What's at issue is the last remaining vestige of trust the American people have in the House Republicans.
The push for "legal status" for illegal aliens (amnesty by another name) is rapidly eroding what little trust the House GOP "leadership" retains because no one believes that amnesty is dead for this Congress, and they don't trust Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy not to bring it back once the Republican primary season is over.
Here's the list of the 80 House Republicans who still haven't firmly opposed amnesty for illegal immigrants. Call them now.

Lourd Ramos : The Force Behind Creations
Since opening his Creations by Lourd Ramos Salon at upscale locations all over Metro Manila, Lourd Ramos has, so to speak, lorded over the beauty scene.
Besides being the creative director of his eponymous salons, he is the reigning Hair Care Expert for TRESemmé. He was also named the brand ambassador for internationally-renowned brands such as Smashbox from 2006-2009 when he trained, lived and worked in Los Angeles; and the Davines Italia Philippines Grand Winner in its 2007 Hair Competition.
Lourd is also the current president of the Philippine International Cosmetology Association. As the head of the in-house makeover team of the series since Cycle 1, Lourd was tapped as judge at Asias Next Top Model Season 3 (2015).
"I will never reach this point in my life without faith. And with that formidable faith came people who have been constant sources of inspiration for me. From esteemed men and and women who created worlds of wonder through their lenses to comrades who continuously prodded me on, from peers I called family backstage to icons who willingly shared the spotlight on-cam, I salute you all," he writes in the self-published Imprint: The Book of Creations.
An eager student at the onset of his career, he trained under Victor Ortega at the BCBG Salon 6750 in 2000. A string of industry legends soon mentored the young and promising upstart: Ricky Reyes, Tony Galvez and Henri Calayag.
"I got hooked: the fun of shampooing and blow drying, the buzz of trusted conversation between a client and her stylist, the scent that lingered in the whole area as we fluttered around to make everyone beautiful," he fondly recalls.
"At Emphasis Salon, we were handled and personally taught by my teacher/icon/mentor/idol Teng Roma. It was about this time that parlors turned into salons and with the change in terminology came an entire change in mindset and innovation. The salon industry transitioned into what it is today--- a status of luxury living," he shares.
"Working in the cutthroat world of beauty has been a constant learning process. I am constantly moved by people of pure talent and great substance. When I meet people whether through work or socials, I look at them with awe and admiration, instantly becoming a fan of their work, their presence, their person. Because of who and how they are and what they stand for, I am constantly inspired to make my own mark in the world," Lourd says.
Through the years, his magic hands has touched the countrys most beautiful, the influential and powerful: Stephanie Zubiri-Crespi, Cristalle Belo Pitt, Juana Manahan-Yupangco, Helen Ong, Judith Tan, Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Katarina Rodriguez, Maxine Medina, Maggie Wilson, Kelly Misa, Jodilly Pendre and Catriona Gray.
In all branches of Creations (including BF Homes, Paraňaque; Greenfield, Mandaluyong; Somerset Olympia; and BGC Taguig), clients can choose from several services: haircut, color, hi-lites, Keratin, treatment, rebond, manicure, pedicure, and hair and makeup. Or they can avail themselves of either of Lourds Vidal Sassoon-level signature styles: the Rihanna cut or the short symmetrical bob.
"I've admittedly undergone a series of evolutions in my life and throughout my career. During each phase, however, what remains the same is my desire to create. Together with equally fired-up artists, I thrive on this uninhibited process of creating, Lourd declares. When one is in that mood, there are no limits to freedom of expression. There are only continuous nudges to move beyond ones comfort zone. I find that I live to create and re-create. This has defined both my passion and purpose."
As long as there are people who want to look their best, Lourd will deliver.
"With a chain of salons to my name and a formidable reputation as a hair and beauty expert, I am filled with the same zest for my craft,Lourd assures. The excitement has never wavered. I still feel as eager as I did on that life-changing day in 2000."

Walk around the Saab 91 Safir
The Saab 91 Safir first flew in 1945 and was designed by A J Andersson who previously designed the Bücker Bü 181 Bestmann and therefore has some similarities. It saw service as a trainer (Sk 50) and as a liaison aircraft (Tp 91) in the Swedish Air Force from 1949 until 1993. Ethiopia, Finland, Japan, Norway, Tunisia and Austria also bought Safir for their Air Forces. The Safir became popular in civilian use and have been used in many places over the world.
Here are pictures of four Swedish planes, two at Västerås Flygmuseum, Västerås, Sweden and two at Aeroseum, Gothenburg, Sweden. The two at Aeroseum are photographed during maintenance but all four are in flying condition! The last one is the only flying Saab 91A Safir, it has a de Havilland Gipsy Major engine as opposed to the six and four cylinder Lycoming engines used in the later models.
Building the Saab 91 Safir in 1/48?
The only available kit at the moment is the SAAB 91 B/C/D Safir from Tarangus. It's a reasonably good kit, you can read my review of the kit here. It has decals from the Swedish, Ethiopian and Finnish air forces.
