noreply@blogger.com (pias dhonio) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:57:00 +0600

Neymar da Silva Santos Junior is a Brazilian soccer player, known to his fans simply by his first name. He plays striker for the Brazilian National team and for Santos. We are going to take a look at the Neymar Mohawk hairstyle here.

Neymar’s Mohawk is created by cutting the hair on the sides of his head very short, but not shaving completely. He has a stripe of hair up the center his head that stands up to form a fan about two inches long in front tapering to one inch in back.This is a fairly standard edition of the Mohawk hairstyle.Despite the good natured teasing and the relative conservatism of this style, there is pressure for Neymar to cut his hair and adopt a new image.Many people see this haircut as a symbol of Neymar’s lack of maturity. This is another reason that it will likely not be tolerated for long by European coaches and teams. It is also a major inducement to change because the amount of money these teams are willing to pay goes up based on skill and maturity.

However, the Neymar Mohawk hair style has become a source of controversy and could actually injure his career. Several of the more prestigious European soccer teams are willing to court him if he will cut his hair and change his image. They believe that this would be a positive sign that he is maturing and ready to move the next level of his career.

Hurricane Katia crept westward in the deep Atlantic on Thursday, just one week after Irene caused massive flooding in the US northeast.Packing winds of 75 miles (120 kilometers) per hour, the category one Katia threatened to become a major hurricane by the weekend. Katia remained some 1,065 miles (1,710 kilometers) east of the Leeward islands -- too far to affect any land mass -- and there was a chance it would cycle north and disintegrate without hitting the North American mainland.The new hurricane approached as US President Barack Obama declared a "major" disaster area in New Jersey and also announced plans to visit the flood-hit state on Sunday to view damage wrought by Hurricane Irene, the Atlantic season's first.

One of the more uncomfortable moments from last night's Video Music Awards telecast took place when Selena Gomez was forced to interview her boyfriend Justin Bieber.Gomez looked absolutely miserable interviewing her younger, bespeckled boyfriend.

And then, just when she thought she was out in the clear, Bieber lunged forward and pecked her on the cheek for an excruciatingly long amount of time.

It's all about communication. That's the thing I really don't like about talking about this.

WFP expands relief work in famine-hit Somalia

noreply@blogger.com (pias dhonio) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 08:24:00 +0600

The World Food Program said that it is expanding its food distribution efforts in famine-struck Somalia, where the U.N. estimates that only 20 percent of people needing aid are getting it.Some of those from the outlying regions have walked for days to the capital for help, only for it to be too late.Aid agencies urgently need to increase their efforts to reach families beyond the Somali capital, said Valerie Amos, the U.N.'s top humanitarian official. Wastelands in the battle-scarred capital are being transformed into makeshift camps as families move in and set up shelters, hoping for help."We have to start getting aid out to them to avoid a massive influx of people into the city," she said.The U.N. estimates that 2.8 million Somalis need food aid, and 2.2 million of them live outside the capital in areas controlled by Islamist rebels, who have forbidden many aid agencies to work in their territory, including the U.N.'s World Food Program. But WFP is already getting aid to some areas in southern Somalia that had been inaccessible a month ago, said one official."We are expanding our activities in Mogadishu and we are looking to dramatically increase those activities over the coming days and weeks as the security situation in the city permits," said Stanlake Samkange, the WFP regional director in East and Central Africa. More aid was getting to southern Somalia as well, he said.

However, Mancini said that it appears more and more likely that Tevez could be forced to remain at City as there was no interest in the player."I don't know if he will stay but it is difficult for him to leave," said Mancini at a press conference ahead of City's opening game of the season against Swansea."Carlos is here and there isn't a team that wants to take him. I'm happy if he stays."Mancini has spent around £51 million (58 million euros) in the transfer market this summer for Argentina forward Sergio Aguero, full-back Gael Clichy from Arsenal and centre back Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade.But his hopes of securing Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri, a player Mancini has been chasing all summer, before the opening game are up in the air, much to the manager's frustration.Nasri, who is valued at around £22 million, has not been included in Arsenal's squad for Saturday's match against Newcastle."I don't know the situation at the moment," added Mancini when asked about Nasri.

noreply@blogger.com (pias dhonio) — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 19:58:00 +0600

Revolutionary legend Fidel Castro turns 85 today, still an important figure in his communist-ruled Cuba which he ran for 49 years.He gave up his last leadership post this year when he stepped down as head of the ruling Communist Party and has retreated further and further from public view.His gradual slipping away appears to be a product of choice born of necessity, but also of a transition plan to wean Cuba from its once near-total dependence on the charismatic Comandante's leadership.Cuba was to celebrate the birthday with a nationally televised serenade by a lineup of musicians. Organizers said this week they did not know if Fidel Castro would attend personally.He came to power on New Year's Day 1959 when his guerrilla forces swept down from the eastern Sierra Maestra mountains to topple US-backed dictator Fulgencio Batista.As Cuba's president, he outlasted nine US presidents and five decades of US hostility, but in July 2006 he underwent emergency intestinal surgery and suffered complications from which he never fully recovered.
