WHICH SPENDER I AM?
THE EXTRAVAGANT
The one who always picks up the tab at the hippest joints and has the latest gadgets. Money means power to you.
THE OVERBOARD
Someone who often splurges on lavish gifts for others. Money means gaining acceptance from others.
SELF-CENTERED
You spend beyond your menas buying the best of everything. Money may mean you can buy self-worth.
GET YOUR BODY GOING GOOD
MUSIC AS MOTIVATION
"I love running but get bored quickly, so I made a playlist in my iPod with lots of upbeat tracks that really get me going. At the moment, I love Rihanna ad Timbaland."
SUPER SALAD
"I used to struggle with diets because salads would never fill me up. Now I add more substantial ingredients like chicken or tofu to keep me satisfied."
HAVE A SMALL ENTEE
"I recommended eating a small soup before a meal. Whenever i do this, I tend to eat less."
GET INSPIRED
"I use to jump on the fitness bandwagon for a few weeks, then give up when i got busy and didn't have time. Now i try not to overdo it by commiting to fewewr workouts, just three every week, but making sure i dont skip any. Being consistent is the most important thing."
STAY HYDRATED
"Drink lots of water! i found that when i drink two litres a day, i'm not nearly as bloated since my body doesn't need to retain water. I look leaner, plus my skin's clearer, too."
WHY DO I GET MIGRAINES BEFORE MY PERIOD?
According to the American Academy of Neurology, nearly one in five adult women get migraines just before their periods. A research was carried out and the results were that migraines do have some oestrogen connection. Part of your period cycle involves oestrogen levels to consistently rise followed by a quick dip as progestrone levels go up. It's during this "oestrogen wothdrawal" that you are most susceptible to a menstrual migraine.
THE ISSUES OF 'MURDERING' THE MEAT
1. ANIMAL TESTING
Over 100 million animals are used globally inscientific research via methods most would consider inhumane. They're confined to small cages or chained and subjected to experiments such as food deprivation or being infected with diseases.
2. WHALING
More than 30,000 whales hav been killed despite a global ban on commercial whaling since 1986. Harpoons using explosive grenads rarely killed the whales on first blast. They're hoisted up the side of the ship by the tail with their blowhole underwater, leaving them to drown.
3. BATTERY HENS
In a cage of about 45cm to 50cm, five chickens are kept inside and never allowed outside again till they're slaughtered. Bearing in mind that the average wingspan of a chickenis 76cm, you can imagine how restrictive movement is.
4. FUR TRADE
More than 50 million animals are killed each year for fur via methods such asanally electrocutting and getting skinned alive.

MAKING GOOD PRESENTER OF POWERPOINT


In order to make a good presentation, one have to consider some factors in the presentation prepared. Those are the title of the presentation, the audience during presentation, duration of the presentation, the conclusion and few others.


During presentation, the presenter is best not to look nor reading at the text that will be presented, but it is better to use a video or pictures. This will not only make the presentation easier to understand, but the audience can easily imagine what the presenter is presenting in front of them.


Choosing a suitable topic based on the audience is very important as this will somehow affect the attention. A simpler and easier topic like 'making kites' will make children pay attention. But, upon presenting in front of the adults, like university students or the corporates, a 'heavier' topics like finance and management will suits the air of presentation. Choosing the right topic for the right crowd will soon deliver what the presenter is trying to say.


A presenter should minimise the time of topic being presented. A long presentation will only make te audience boring and their attention will sooner or later fade. So, an effective talk with lesser time-consuming will make the presentation accepted and understandable.


Conclusion is the simplified talk that summaries the whole presentation. It includes the objectives of the presentation as well as the whole thing that has been presented.

SPECTACULAR LIGHT
Take photos 15 minutes after sunrise and 15 minutes before sunset. It produces a magical look with gorgeous golden light and beautiful shadows. But, remember to take a silhouette photo of objects shadowed by sunset light for a dramatic effect.

AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT ON THE SUBJECT
Try not to take photo with sunlight coming over your shoulder as this will make the subject look flat and boring. Snap a photo with light hitting the subject from the side.

LOSE OR MAKE USE OF THE BACKGROUND
A busy background (people moving behind subject) will make the subject lost in it. So, blur the background to make the subject stand out by setting the camera to the smaller aperture.

IMAGE COMPOSITION
“Rule of thirds”. Draw 3 imaginary vertical lines and 3 imaginary horizontal lines to divide the photo area. This will help to place the important subject on the intersections of the lines or along the lines to achieve the right spatial balance.
