Shakira, person of the year

2011-11-11T18:05:00.001+06:00

International pop star Sakira was honored as the 2011 Latin recording academy person of the year in Las Vegas Wednesday night during a star-studded tribute dinner that saw the Colombian singer share an intimate moment with her father and close the night in a burst of song dedicated to her hometown of Barranquilla.

Shakira, who has sold more than 60 million albums in Spanish and English.

Shakira gleefully took in the performances, occasionally bouncing in her chair to show her appreciation, or standing up to dance amid a maze of banquet tables.

"I will carry this night with me always," she said in Spanish after receiving the award. It's an honour that i am not sour I deserve, but you have made me very happy".

Top 12 women leaders of the world, Hasina 7th among of them

2011-08-12T17:01:00.001+06:00

This proud for us as a Bangladeshi That our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is 7th of the top 12 women leaders of the world. The Time magazine has listed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as one of the 12 top women leaders of the world. She has been placed seventh on the list.

The top 12 women leaders are:
1) Yingluck Shinawatra, prime minister of Thailand
2) Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany
3) Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, president of Argentina
4) Dilma Rousseff, president of Brazil
5) Julia Gillard, prime minister of Australia
6) Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, president of Liberia
7) Sheikh Hasina, prime minister of Bangladesh
8) Johanna Sigurdardottir, prime minister of Iceland
9) Laura Chinchilla, president of Costa Rica,
10) Tarja Halonen, president of Finland
11) Dalia Grybauskaite, president of Lithuania
12) Kamla Persad-Bissessar, prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Time magazine said Sheikh Hasina, the leader of Awami League, has a history of surviving. In 1975, assassins killed her father (Sheikh Mujibur Rahman), mother, three brothers and some other members of her family.
Hasina, then 28, happened to be abroad at the time. She later survived a grenade attack that killed more than 20 people, dodging the bullets that sprayed her car as she fled, the magazine said in a statement.
Hasina was first elected the country's prime minister in 1996. But in 2001 parliamentary polls, Transparency International named Bangladesh as the most corrupt country in the world, and Hasina's party suffered a defeat.
That was not the end of her, though. Through the December 2008 election, Awami League came to power again and the consummate survivor found herself prime minister for the second term, the statement added.

Facial recognition in use after London riots

2011-08-12T14:38:00.000+06:00

Not Only the people of UK but also the whole world could not believe that they can do such as work.after that the Govt has taken necessary action
Facial recognition technology being considered for London's 2012 Games is getting a workout in the wake of Britain's riots, a senior police chief told The Associated Press, with officers feeding photographs of suspects through Scotland Yard's newly updated face-matching programme.

Chief Constable Andy Trotter of the British Transport Police said Thursday the sophisticated software was being used to help find those suspected of being involved in the worst unrest London has seen in a generation.

But he cautioned that facial recognition makes up only a fraction of the police force's efforts, saying tips have mostly come from traditional sources, such as still images captured from closed circuit cameras, pictures gathered by officers, footage shot by police helicopters or images snapped by members of the public. One department was driving around a large video screen displaying images of suspects.
"There's a mass of evidence out there," Trotter said in a telephone interview. "The public are so enraged that people who wouldn't normally come forward are helping us — especially when they see their neighbours are coming back with brand new TVs."
Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged Thursday that police were overwhelmed by rioting that began over the weekend in London and spread across the country over four days. Mob of youths looted stores, set buildings aflame and attacked police officers and other people — a chaotic and humbling scene for a city a year away from hosting the Olympic Games.
At an emergency session of Parliament summoned to discuss the riots, Cameron said authorities were considering new powers, including allowing police to order thugs to remove masks or hoods, evicting troublemakers from subsidised housing and temporarily disabling cell phone instant messaging services. He said the 16,000 police deployed on London's streets to deter rioters and reassure residents would remain through the weekend.
A press officer with Scotland Yard — who also spoke anonymously, in line with force policy — confirmed that facial recognition technology was at the police's disposal, although he gave few other details. He said that generally the technology would only be used to help identify those suspected of serious crimes, such as assault, and that in most cases disseminating photographs to the general public remains a far cheaper and more effective way of finding suspects.
The facial-recognition technology used by police treats the human face like a grid, measuring the distance between a person's nose, eyes, lips and other features. It has recently been upgraded, according to an article published last year in Scotland Yard's bimonthly magazine, "The Job."
The March 2010 article said that the new program has been shown to work far better than older versions of the technology, with one expert quoted as saying that it had shown promise in identifying people from high-quality, face-on shots taken off of surveillance photographs, mobile phones, passports or the Internet.
A law enforcement official told the AP that to use the technology "you have to have a good picture of a suspect and it is only useful if you have something to match it against. In other words, the suspect already has to have a previous criminal record."
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss ongoing investigations.
In another effort to identify suspects, police have released two dozen photos and videos to the picture-sharing website Flickr, where they've already gathered more than 400,000 hits. Some of those photographs have also been published by Britain's brash tabloid press. The Sun recently plastered them across its front page, along with a headline urging readers to report looters to the police.
The photographs on Flickr are mainly grainy images pulled from cameras, which may not be of much use to face-matching software. But detectives are already scanning the Web for pictures of high-quality photographs of rioters' faces, according to photojournalist Guilherme Zauith, who witnessed some of the disturbances in London and later posted images of clashes to the Internet.
Zauith said he was recently contacted by a London detective "saying that they saw my photos online and if I could send it to them to help to identify the people."
"They were looking for all kind of photographs showing faces," he said. Zauith, a 30-year-old Brazilian national, said he turned the photos over to the detective.
The West Midlands police were trying another approach: driving a van equipped with a large screen displaying 50 images of suspects through Birmingham.
Police said the "Digi-Van" will stop at key locations around the city to give shoppers and commuters a good look at the photographs in hopes they can help identify suspects.
Facial recognition technology is already widely employed by free-to-use websites such as Facebook and Google Inc's Picasa photo-sharing programme.
Such programmes have been of increasing interest to authorities as well. A person with the Olympic planning committee, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of security preparations, said that facial recognition software was being considered for use as a security measure during the Olympic Games.
Meanwhile, detectives are employing a host of other tactics to take aim at the rioters. Police departments across the country have made arrests linked to riot threats and boasts posted to social networking sites.
Trotter said that while investigations had been helped by looters "who publicise their actions on things like Facebook," a lot of arrests have come the old-fashioned way, through officers simply spotting suspects they'd seen before.
"It's not just the face that is recognisable," Trotter said. "It's been in the way they walk, or the clothes they're wearing or even tattoos."

How to apply your false eyelashes

2011-06-02T12:51:00.000+06:00

How to Apply False Eyelashes

Movie stars and pop divas aren't the only ones donning false eyelashes. Women have a right use what's available, and longer, fuller lashes are just what you may need for a quick spruce-up.
False eyelashes aren't hard to apply, the trick is taking your time to get it right. You will quickly learn by trial and error. Once you gain a little experience, applying your lashes will be easier than putting on a pair of pantyhose.

Step 1 - Prepare Your Eyes
Start with a clean face and draw a steady line right above your lash line with a brown or black eyeliner pencil. Blend it in so it looks natural. If you want, you can apply a thin coat of mascara to your natural eyelashes before you put on your fake lashes, but you need to let it dry before you continue. It can be messy.
Step 2 - Prepare the Lash Bands
Check the width of the lash bands. To shorten them, trim them to the width of your lash line using a pair of scissors and snipping the outer edges -- where the lashes are the longest. (You can cut the bands in half and apply them just to you outer, top lids if you don't need full coverage.) Flex your lash bands so they will conform to your eyelids.
Step 3 - Applying your Eyelashes
Dab on a thin line of the adhesive to the lash band with a toothpick. Wait a few seconds to allow the glue to become tacky. Press on the lash bands from the inner to the outer corners of your eyes, placing them as close to your own natural lash line as possible. Hold them firmly in place, until they're set. Try to keep it neat, but don't worry if you have a little extra glue showing. It will dry clear. If you didn't apply mascara before, you can do that now. Or apply a second coat.

Removing False Eyelashes

Your eye area is very delicate, so don't rub it any more than what's necessary. Apply some eye make-up remover to your eyes and let it soak in for several seconds to soften up the adhesive. Take a corner of the lash band and gently pull off the lashes.

Cleaning and Storing

You can reuse your false eye lashes provided you keep them clean. To wash them, use warm, soapy water to remove any mascara and dirt. Take a pair of tweezers and carefully pull off any additional glue. A toothbrush or moustache brush works great for cleaning between the lashes. Store them on the platform in the original container to keep their shape.

Temporary blackouts or memory loss after heavy drinking.Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

2011-05-04T22:36:00.000+06:00

Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism

Temporary blackouts or memory loss after heavy drinking

Signs and Symptoms

Alcohol abuses:

1. Temporary blackouts or memory loss after heavy drinking.

2. Unusually irritable and aggressive behavior (sometimes).

3. Use of increasing amounts of alcohol to relax, sleep, cheer up , deal with problems, or feel “normal.”

Alcoholism (alcohol addiction):

Same symptoms as those above. Other symptoms can include.

1. Headache, anxiety insomnia, or nausea that develops when you stop drinking.

2. Drinking in the morning.

3. Depression.

4. Trouble maintaining family relationships and holding a job.

5. Drinking alone regularly or drinking in, secret; hiding bottles.

6. Failed attempts to control drinking.

7. Flushed skin and broken capillaries on the face.

8. Trembling hands.

9. Yellowish skin, which may indicate cirrhosis.

What to do now

Alcohol abuse:

1. If you suspect that you have an alcohol problem, keep notes of how much you drink over a specified period of time ( a week or more), and don’t misrepresent. If you’re man than you shouldn’t take more than 250 ml alcohol in any particular day, but if you’re a woman you shouldn’t take more than 125 ml. This difference in amount is because of the difference of alcohol metabolization between men and women, according to medical experts. But to keep your health good never drink more than three times a week.

2. Don’t drink on an empty stomach.

3. Never have more than one drink (250ml for men and 125ml for women) in an hour. Liver cannot process more than that an hour.

4. Don’t drink any beer, wine or other alcoholic drinks if you’re pregnant, or trying to get pregnant.

5. Examine your attitude toward your drinking. If you get drunk despite of your best intentions, then take steps to make yourself compel not to take so much. If you react angrily if someone confronts you about your drinking seek professional help.

Alcoholism:

1. If you think that some one you care about is an alcoholic, talk with a doctor or a drug abuse treatment center.

2. If you can’t give up your drinking, acknowledge the problem and resolve to stop drinking on your own. If you don’t succeed in your attempt call on professional help. In most cases, early treatment increases the chance of recovery.

3. Start exercising regularly. Exercise releases chemicals in the brain that provide a sense of well-being.

4. Seek support from your friends and family members who would understand you and keep you away from alcohol.

5. Find new friends who do not drink alcohol. And avoid places and people related with alcoholism.

When to call a doctor

Smoking and illness.What will do? The best advice is to quit smoking.

2011-01-05T18:24:00.002+06:00

Smoking and illness

The best advice is to quit smoking.

Signs and Symptoms

1. Shortness of breath.

2. Wheezing.

3. Poor sense of smell and taste.

4. Bad breath.

5. General fatigue.

6. Persistent of hacking cough.

7. Poor circulation (cold hands and feet are a sign).

8. Frequent bouts of respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis.

9. Premature wrinkling of skin.

What to do now

The best advice is to quit smoking. The benefits of quitting take effect right from the start. Within 30 minutes after your last puff, you blood pressure returns to normal. Within 12 to 48 hours, the excess carbon monoxide in your blood drops to normal. One year after that, your risk of heart disease will be half that of a smoker’s. Fifteen years after giving up cigarettes, your risk of heart disease will be the same as that of someone who has never smoked. You’ll also reduce your risk of getting many types of cancer.

Tips for making quitting easier:

1. If you are a heavy smoker, consult a doctor about using nicotine gum. These aids are meant to reduce the physical urge for a cigarette. Never smoke while using the gum or patches, though, or you’ll risk a dangerous nicotine overdose.

2. Exercise regularly. Daily walks or bike rides help your body overcome its need for nicotine as stimulant.

3. Recognize “triggers”- situations and places that make your want to smoke-and avoid them, if possible. Substitute other activities when you’re tempted to light up.

4. Consider meditation.

5. Drink lots of water and have low-calorie snacks available during the first weeks when you have an urge to put something in your mouth.

What come about when you quit?

Congratulations on deciding to quit smoking. But you’ll have to prepare yourself for at least one of these withdrawal symptoms: headache, nausea, drowsiness, loss of concentration, constipation or diarrhea, fatigue, and insomnia. You may also feel more irritable, anxious, or depressed than usual, or have a bigger appetite or an increased desire for sweets. These reactions occur because your body is scrambling to adjust to the sudden absence of nicotine. But don’t rush off to buy a pack of cigarettes. Withdrawal symptoms are only temporary, and once they pass, you’ll feel better than you’ve felt in years.

When to call a doctor

1. If you notice a persistent cough, wheezing, breathlessness, and chest pains.

2. If you are a tobacco user and become concerned about your health for any reason. Smokers are more susceptible than nonsmokers to many major illnesses.
