Face Fashioning

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:03:50 +0000

In London this week there has been a lot of the fashioning of the face by way of sculpting and contouring with make-up. At Westwood Red, Mac’s Global Vice President of Make-Up Artistry, Gordon Espinet played with the notion of light and dark by shading the cheekbones and eye sockets with greys, purples and browns, using Irving Penn pictures as his reference. Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love video gave Sam Bryant inspiration for the models’ groomed, polished skin. Eye sockets and the underside of the cheekbones were treated to nude shading, adding strength and power to the face - a trend that is emerging as the shows progress through New York and now London. James Kaliardos further supported this as he explained his brief of Nineties minimalism at Matthew Williamson, using deeper shades of foundation on the temples and cheekbones to shape the face for a more handsome, rather than cosmetic look.

Covini C6W

C6W is an Italian 2-seat, 2-door sports coupé with a removable roof section. Inspiration for the car was taken from the 1976 Tyrrell P34, which had two pairs of smaller front wheels, a principle applied to the C6W. The project was started in 1974 but abandoned shortly after, and left dormant into the 1980s due to the lack of availability of low-profile tires at the time. In 2003 the project was revived and in 2004 the C6W was shown in prototype form. In 2005 a slightly revised version debuted at the Salon International de l’Auto, featuring new wheels, new roof structure and a refreshed interior, and went into limited production of 6-8 cars per year, as a result of a tie-up between PMI and Covini Engineering.

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 05:45:25 +0000

AT&T customers lucky enough to get their orders in early can still report to their respective AT&T stores at 7AM on the 19th to get their iPhone 3G S. They will have a guaranteed slot if they show up, but others who did not pre-order will have to fight over the remaining stock at Apple and AT&T stores.

AT&T is still accepting preorders, but not for an expected delivery on the 19th. Preorders placed at an AT&T store will be picked up at that store, whereas online orders will be shipped directly to your home or office. We suggest ordering online and having the iPhone shipped directly to you unless you like spending a lot of time in line making new friends.

Haiti Earthquake

admin — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 06:59:02 +0000

Start Year 2010, Tuesday afternoon, January 12th, the worst earthquake in 200 years - 7.0 in magnitude - struck less than ten miles from the Caribbean city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The initial quake was later followed by twelve aftershocks greater than magnitude 5.0. Structures of all kinds were damaged or collapsed, from shantytown homes to national landmarks. It is still very early in the recovery effort, but millions are likely displaced, and thousands are feared dead as rescue teams from all over the world are now descending on Haiti to help where they are able. As this is a developing subject, I will be adding photos to this entry over the next few days, but at the moment, here is a collection of photos from Haiti.

King Abdullah bin AbdulAziz launches Knowledge Economic City(Madina City Project)

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:08:22 +0000

The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin AbdulAziz Alsaud launched the Knowledge Economic City (KEC) in Madinah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

The project is the first of its kind and the third economic city in Saudi Arabia to be initiated by the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA) in an aggressive bid to repatriate capital and attract value-added foreign investments. The move is part of efforts hoped to develop the Kingdom’s regions in a hi-tech manner while easing mounting pressure off the country’s three major cities’ infrastructures.

At the directives of King Abdullah, SAGIA liaised with a Consortium of Saudi investors lead by Savola Group to develop an economic city dedicated to knowledge-based industries (KBI). The Consortium-Savola Group Co., PMDC, Taibah Investment & Real Estate Development Co., and Quad International Real Estate Development Co.-along with the King Abdullah Foundation formed an investment vehicle to develop an economic city based on KBI. The new city, named ‘Knowledge Economic City’ will be developed on a 4.8 million m2 land while the built up area will near 9 million m2 attracting some 25 billion Saudi riyals ($6.7 billion) worth of investments. The project will add 20,000 new jobs to the region.

The city will comprise various zones designed to compliment each other; a technology and KBI zone; an advanced IT studies institute; an interactive museum on the life of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH); a center for Islamic civilization studies; a campus for medical research and life sciences; an integrated medical services zone; a retail zone; a business district; residential zones including high rises, houses, and fully-serviced apartments; shopping malls; and a mosque with a 10,000 worshipper capacity.

Transportation within KEC will be facilitated via a ring road above which rises a monorail connecting the city to neighboring Grand Mosque of Madinah within minutes. This monorail will be tethered to the planned train station thus tapping into the railway access to Makkah, Yanbou, the King Abdullah Economic City as well as the port city of Jeddah.

SAGIA played a pivotal role in the conceptualization of the project. ‘The King’s vision to develop an economic city based on KBI is a forward looking step and the development will boost the region’s chances to attract investments hoped to overhaul services in Madinah,’ commented Amr Dabbagh, governor of SAGIA.

‘This vital project falls well within plans to upgrade the Kingdom’s regions in a sustainable fashion taking into consideration each region’s competitive advantages. Given Madinah’s historic stance as the launch pad of Islamic culture by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) more than 14 centuries ago, the KEC project is a renaissance of sorts as Madinah will be used to launch the knowledge-based industries,’

added Dabbagh.
Governor Amr Dabbagh pointed out that the three economic cities launched to date by SAGIA are in line with its strategy to promote investments into the country’s sectors that propose the best competitive advantages, namely, energy, transportation, and KBI. The first economic city launched December 2005 in Rabegh (the King Abdullah Economic City) focused on promoting energy- and transportation-related industries, while the second economic city launched last week in Hayel (the Prince AbdulAziz bin Mousaed Economic City) is designed around transportation and related logistical services. This latest city in Madinah captures the essence of SAGIA’s third focus, knowledge-based industries (KBI), concluded Dabbagh.

The Knowledge Economic City project is a culmination of efforts by a group of leading Saudi companies to develop an economic city to the east of Madinah that is planned to become an international KBI icon. The total built up area will reach 8.8 million m2 including 4,000 stores and 30,000 residential units that will house 200,000 inhabitants.

How to Stop Skin Wrinkles?

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:35:06 +0000

How one should Stop skin wrinkles? Well there are lot of reasons behind wrinkles and lot of remedy too. We would look at few of the ways using which you could delay or Stop skin wrinkles. One of the more accepted techniques to Stop skin wrinkles is plastic surgery. Not only are face-lifts an alternative but also there are now less insidious procedures, like chemical peels, laser healing, and collagen shot. The number one course of action for plummeting wrinkles used today by women of every walk of life is Botox shot. Botox® works by comforting the injected muscle and permit those awful furrow lines and other deep wrinkles to all but fade away. This is impermanent, though, and has to be continual every few months.

Coblation is also an choice for plummeting wrinkles. Less persistent than surgery, radio waves are used to eliminate the top layer of the skin, plummeting the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun harm. Although this process does leave you with newer, younger looking skin, it is not as efficient as laser management. It is safer, though, and the healing process is considerably shorter since the radio waves do not go as intensely into the lesser layers of skin.

Even though all of the above mentioned remedies are good alternative, they are also costly in handling and stop skin wrinkles. There are large ranges of wrinkle plummeting creams on the market today that include ingredients like Retinal. These will facilitate to firm your skin and minimize the gaze of fine lines, but not essentially the deeper set wrinkles.
