There are so many tutorials and makeup tips available on the internet, so it is difficult it can be hard to choose the main products to make the first makeup kit.
The investment is generally high and nd it is not possible to buy all at once. First because, before you buy everything that is available in the cosmetic shop, you need to know what products are good for your skin type.
A foundation that has an effect and perfect fixing in a combination skin can kill the production and the health of the face used in an oily skin.
So, for the first makeup kit you need to appreciate basic and essential products. With time and experience, you can discover the compositions suitable for the skin type and products for more elaborate productions.
Many women start the first makeup kit for cheaper products. However, they are not always for the type of skin or useful for the moment. The money that can be invested is the first factor that needs to be thought.
But even if the desire is not for established brands in the world of makeup, it is important to appreciate the quality, paying attention mainly to the possible allergic reactions of the product. Drug stores, websites, and specialty shops you can find cheap products, but are dermatologically tested and safe.
Makeup is not the so difficult as some women imagine it is. So I prepared a list with the basic beauty products that every woman must have and are able to make miracles in the face in few simple steps. With these items, it is possible to get a beautiful visual with minimal work. Check out what are the must-have products and see that it is not necessary to spend lots of money to be always beautiful.
Essential products
A Good Foundation
The foundation is essential to cover imperfections, standardize the color of the skin and moisturize it. It's hard to find the perfect product for the first purchase, but to do not make a mistake, choose a foundation that respects the characteristics of the skin. Oily skins need products with matte or dry effect, which control the brightness during application. The combination or dry skin fits more a creamy and moisturizing cosmetics.
To set the color, forget the test on the back of the hand. The best option is to test in the face since the parts of the body have different colorations.
The Foundation is often dispensable, but the concealer is a must-have. It is good to have always a good quality product that has the exact color of your skin to correct the little spots, wrinkles, pimples or variations of tones in the face. Despite good coverage, the concealer guarantees a more natural result.
The powder is a product that is responsible for finalizing the skin. There are two product versions in the market: loose and compact powder. But which one is better?
The compact is designed for touch-ups throughout the day or for oily skin, but can leave the lines expressions marked and with a spotty coverage.
The loose powder and allows a thin transparent skin coverage free of spots or marked expression lines.
If you are undecided, the translucent powder solves the problem. Always apply with an appropriate brush.
The bronzing powder simulates an after-Sun skin and ensures a healthy aspect and instant glow. It can also be used to make face contour, or as a blush.
The application of blush is essential to make any flawless production. For the first makeup kit, a product with bronzer effect is ideal since it serves both as night or daytime makeup. The palettes with a mosaic of colors are also interesting, as they allow for different blends and, therefore, different results.
Primer with SPF
It is not everyone that buys a primer to make the first makeup kit but also the product makes a great difference in the makeup. Invest in the versions with SPF protection and save work in the morning. In addition to health and skin protection, the primer ensures the durability of the makeup, reducing pores, small spots coverage, fine lines and improved skin appearance, which will be flawless.
Eyeshadow Palette with neutral colors
A palette with earthy colors is more than enough to create amazing productions, from the most basic to the most sophisticated.
No matter what type of makeup you are using the lipstick will always give an instant glamor. On the day that you are not in the mood to make to a more elaborate makeup just correct the skin with a little concealer, apply the minimum mask to the lashes and finish with a dark lipstick. The look is super trendy and is chic.
The basic shades are A nude or a very light pink and dark and striking, which can be red, burgundy, plum or blackberry. Before you buy, learn how to choose the right color of lipstick.
Despised by many loved by the others, this product ensures an instant glow to the skin and creates a light and shadow effect on the makeup, enhancing the natural beauty. Apply at the temples and in the groove between the mouth and the nose.
Black pencil
It is the most basic item of nécessaire. Versatile, serves both to highlight the waterline as to outline of the eyes, and may even replace the black eyeshadow.
As basic as the black eyeliner, the mascara is probably the makeup item that makes more difference in the production. The mascara opens and stresses the eye and could be used at different intensities for different results. For the look day, apply one or two layers to thicken lashes. At night, abuse of the product for maximum volume and length and conquer the seductive eyes.
Others products
After the first attempts, mistakes and successes, it is already possible to list what are next products you need, which can be a primer, a product that controls the oiliness of the skin, prolongs fixing makeup and also enhances the color of shadows; a larger eyeshadow palette; illuminators products; mineral makeup brushes or even a set, which are essential for a flawless production.
Cleaning and protection
As important as the products that hide the imperfections are cleaning the makeup. Cleansing and toning are essential to keep the skin moisturized and healthy. At first, the mixture to take up can be done at home.
The sunscreen is elementary. Regardless of the makeup or not, the face must be protected from the sunlight. Invest in a product with a high protection factor and suitable for the skin type.

Have some respect for the puffer fish
It's time to respect the Japanese puffer fish. It nearly killed Homer Simpson, and now PZ Meyers suggests that it has the edge on us when it comes to its genome:
Our DNA contains approximately 3.2 billion base pairs, about the amount of information that can be stored on a single CD, but only about 5 percent of that information plays a significant role in constructing the human form. Our human CD contains, in effect, the equivalent of one really good, but short, pop song, with the rest of the tracks being staticky hisses, noise, and repetitions of the same short phrase, over and over again.
The Japanese puffer fish however has a genome one third the size of ours, and uses a full third of it for its genetic makeup. So while our human CD is the equivalent of a Girls Aloud 3–CD compilation, the Japanese puffer fish's album is Led Zeppelin 2 in comparison.
Next time you go out for sushi, remember that you might be eating something more sophisticated than yourself.

Environmental protection officials have reported that geckos native to the Philippines are becoming presented for sale on the black market place to purchasers in China and South Korea. Designer Geckos photos and web site content is copyrighted and trademarked material. Also geckos that need high humidity, will call for a lot more frequent misting (up to four occasions a day) than desert species. Advertise in your local paper and place your geckos on display with set-ups and care details. However most carnivorous reptiles like their food quite fresh, if it is not moving, they never eat it. Very a couple of geckos are truly omnivorous, in the wild day geckos lick nectar from flowers and in captivity they need to have to be fed fruit child meals. Lastly, you never know how nicely the leopard geckos are cared for at pet retailers. We can give you with all the data you will want to provide excellent care for your geckos.
This has possibly been my most successful tool for the duration of the past year even though the quantity of folks who don't reply to my inquiries is much higher than these who do. Bear in mind that technically it is prohibited to sell animals on craigslist. Rule three of raising geckos: If a gecko is in a dangerous scenario in a tank, Place IT IN Another TANK!. For a detailed listing with photographs and descriptions of all the snakes in Florida see the University of Florida's On the internet Guide to Florida Snakes. Becoming little and their friendly temperament Leopard Geckos are a really great beginners reptile pet. When you find a gecko for sale that you would like, make confident it will be a very good pet.
Reptile and amphibian food should be varied, which is why we provide an array of feeder insects for sale. The second rule to owning geckos is this: Anytime feasible By no means EVER mix 2 various gecko species inside the identical tank! Typically leopard geckos, usually named leos, are considered a actually great species for newbie reptile keepers, with crested geckos suggested as a great second decision. There are secure lock systems for sale if you wish to place a small assurance to the security of your gecko. Even though waiting for the crickets for my own Golden Gecko, I walked over to the reptile section to see what they had for sale. Go to go to them incognito" and if you like what you see, discover out if they're interested in some of your geckos.
You also can not take any River cooters from April 15 by way of July 31. No softshell turtles or their eggs might be taken from the wild amongst Might 1 by way of July 31. Even though you can take eggs the obtain or sale of eggs is prohibited. 1 factor to keep in mind with all geckos is that they drop their tails as a defense mechanism.
If they never need geckos when you method them, leave them your enterprise card and speak to information. I've located several posts on there from folk who look to really care about their geckos and will give you almost everything you need to set your complete system up and you may make a chum in the meantime. Geckos are super well-liked pets, and are very easy to keep with the appropriate supplies you can buy in our reptile supply section.

This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five—and through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers, grouping children of a variety of ages in one class. This approach fosters natural, family-style learning where younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together.
Each child participates at his or her own developmental level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, observing, or exploring musical instruments. We welcome the whole family to join in this important family music experience, and any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the child(ren) to class.

AceShowbiz - After breaking up with Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande is moving on and that means a change in some of her inks. The former Nickelodeon star, who got several tattoos inspired by her then-boyfriend throughout the course of their whirlwind romance, has just evolved an "always" tattoo on her ribcage.
The 25-year-old singer/actress debuted the new ink on Instagram on Sunday, March 17 with a picture of her lying down on a couch while wearing a black bra top. The new ink features a branch of leaves and it surrounds the old tattoo which features the "Saturday Night Live" cast member's handwriting.
Ariana insists it's not a cover-up, but part of her evolution. She wrote in the caption, "post run thrus, 3 am with @girlknewyork :) not a cover up just evolvin." She also reminded her followers of her "Sweetener" tour which starts Monday, March 18. "i love u and i'm so grateful. see u soon," she added.
Ariana and Pete got engaged in June 2018, just a few weeks after they started dating in May. They, however, called off their engagement in October. She later covered up the "Pete" tattoo on her ring finger with a black heart. Co-incidentally, her ex also covered up his neck artwork of Ariana's signature bunny ears with a tattoo of a black heart.
The "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" hitmaker also covered her "reborn" tattoo on her left thumb with a feather or sprig of lavender. Her former boyfriend got the same "reborn" word inked on his hand while they were still together.
The former lovers also had matching tattoos of "H2GKMO", which stands for "Honest to God, knock me out," one of Ariana's signature catchphrases.
Ariana has been linked to a couple of her other exes, Big Sean and Graham Phillips, following their split, while Pete has been publicly dating much senior actress Kate Beckinsale.

ETSY Employees Haul 600lb of Compostables Each Month By Bike
From awesome iPhone docs built out of old cameras to canning jars turned into reusable cups, online craft marketplace ETSY is full of upcycled, repurposed and otherwise sustainably manufactured goods.
But it's not just the goods that make ETSY so important.I've noted before how ETSY is transforming the way we all do business, putting human relationships back into commerce on a Global scale. And their status as a B Corporation (For benefit Corporation) means they are also committed to improving their social and environmental performance.
Hence their impressive—and uniquely ETSY—way of reducing waste from their offices. Rather than simply contract with a recycling firm, or hiring waste management consultants, ETSY's staff have decided to get their hands dirty—collecting over 600lbs of biodegradable waste and sending it to Red Hook Community Farm for composting.
In keeping with the theme of human-scale business practices, they haul it there themselves by cargo bike. Adam Brown of ETSY's PR team even tells us that the effort reaches beyond their own offices:
Some employees (myself included) also save their organic waste from home and bring it to the office to be composted. Which is awesome because I don't have the space in my kitchen to compost that myself. I keep mine in a large ziplock bag in the freezer. Added bonus is no stinky kitchen trash!
Check out the video below—or read up on Etsy's approach to office ecology at the Etsy News blog.
Disclosure: I have previously written an article for ETSY blog on the environmental benefits (and shortfalls) of veganism.

Chronic Stress -> Poor Sleep -> Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier?
When stress levels run high, sleep is one of the first things we hear patients cite as problematic. There are no supplements, drugs, food or exercise that will replace a good night's sleep. While the totality of the metabolic functions and happenings that occur during sleep are still being discovered, there is an abundance of information on the effects of sleep deprivation. Chronic sleep loss is associated with digestive disorders, depression, decreased immune function, diabetes, inflammation, autoimmune disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity and the list goes on and on. Animal studies show that sleep loss leads to hyperpermeability of the blood-brain barrier secondary to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, some of which remain elevated even after sleep recovery.[1]
Ok, so what do we have in our tool bag to help patients who can't sleep when their stress levels are elevated? While we help them work on developing more effective stress management strategies (including a balanced whole-food diet & exercise), we need to help them get some sleep. Good sleep hygiene helps your body gradually slow down. Turn off the electronics, avoid late-night eating & stimulants, keep your bedroom completely dark and try to head to bed at the same time every night. Also be sure to keep the chemicals and toxins (memory foam, perfumes, air fresheners, etc.) out of the boudoir. Your bedroom should be a haven of sorts where you can rest and rejuvenate.
Here are some additional interventions to consider:
|Breathing Exercises
|5 minutes every day to develop the skill and then as needed in bed to help shift the body into parasympathetic dominance. Slow belly-expanding inhale through the nose, slower exhale through the mouth.
|Herbal Teas
|Chamomile, hops, passionflower, lemon balm
|Herbal Caps and/or Tinctures
|Valerian, passionflower, hops, chamomile, catnip, magnolia bark, scullcap
|Amino Acids
|Theanine (100-500mg), Taurine (500mg-1g), 5HTP (50-400mg)
|.5-3 mg before bed (note there is also sustained release for those who might have trouble staying asleep)

A turd in perfect condition is still a turd.ReplyDelete
Well, at least they got rid of the unreliable and maintenance intensive V-12!ReplyDelete
looks lovely to meReplyDelete
Mark, i agree...nice ride for the coinReplyDelete
I'm in the "pro" camp, as well.ReplyDelete
When our robot overlords have taken over and our personal conveyances are anonymous sentient bubbles, we will pine for this.
I find myself in the pro camp as well, even though I think the price could be bargained down just a bit (and, I have some nits to pick about the refinishing job on the steering wheel and the carpets). These make so much sense because once the V12 is wrestled free (taking care to not mess up the GM Frigidaire A/C unit and [I believe the GM power steering pump])the GM V8 bolts up beautifully to the GM transmission.ReplyDelete
Given that the ancient electronics are still functioning for the windows, and door locks, these are vault quiet for long highway rides.
The real beauty of the swap is not fearing ambient air temperatures over 80-degrees.
Finished at $7,600. I definitely like it.ReplyDelete

In the age of social media, everyone dreams of making it big one day and becoming popular. We have become more superficial as a society, being judged by our followers, likes, etc, than the content of our character. This makes this new film even more relevant.
Synopsis: Following a series of self-inflicted setbacks, young Ingrid Thorburn escapes a humdrum existence by moving out West to befriend her Instagram obsession and LA socialite Taylor Sloane. After a quick bond is forged between these unlikeliest of friends, the façade begins to crack in both women's lives — with comically malicious results. (Mongrel Media)
Starring: Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, and O'Shea Jackson Jr.
Writers: David Branson Smith and Matt Spicer
Director: Matt Spicer
Rating: 14A (Canada)/R (United States)
Running Time: 97mins
For showtimes and more, check out Ingrid Goes West on movietimes.com.
This film explores social media culture by satirizing it through the character of Ingrid Thorburn (Plaza). Ingrid was a mentally-unstable loner, obsessed with being popular. After overstaying her welcome, Ingrid decided to move to Los Angeles after becoming obsessed with an Instagram celebrity named Taylor Sloane (Olsen).
Ingrid thought that by latching on to Taylor, she can improve her own standing. She also went to great lengths for them to become friends which wasn't always easy due to her inferior social skills but with Taylor being so public, it was not particularly difficult to find information on her as she would post about everything. Of course once Ingrid and Taylor became friends, Taylor didn't know what was going on as Ingrid managed to make herself into a perfect stranger in her eyes.
Seeing Ingrid and Taylor's relationship play out on screen was fun to watch as they were having fun together so it was easy to feel good for Ingrid in that respect, however, it was probably not going to last forever. The cracks were building as she competed with the rest of Taylor's social life to be the center of attention. She went to great lengths to become friends with Taylor and she would prove to go as far to keep it but she could only do it for so long unnoticed.
Ingrid had another relationship with her neighbor and landlord named Dan Pinto (Jackson Jr.). Pinto was perhaps not an essential character but their dynamic was fun to watch. The pot-smoking, Batman-loving, aspiring screenwriter was Ingrid's only real friend and helped to balance out all the craziness. The film's depiction of social media culture was rightfully over the top, mirroring our current society of over-sharers and plenty of other zany opinions. With this comes the film's warning about the use of social media and how it influences one's self-worth.
This film would absolutely not have worked if not for Plaza's emotionally nuanced performance as Ingrid. She was the best part of the film by far, successfully making a character who has no right to be likable, likable. She was very compelling to watch from beginning to end as she awkwardly weaseled her way into Taylor's life. It could be argued that Ingrid was a stalker but did not make her any less rootable. Olsen was good as well and she had good chemistry with Plaza. This chemistry continued with Jackson Jr. They were fun to watch although it wouldn't have been nice to have seen, more of him here.
Overall, this was an amazing, smartly written, dark comedy that satirizes the social media age in an appropriate, over the top fashion that will force viewers to take a deep look at themselves, and features a career performance by Aubrey Plaza.
Score: 9.5/10

A mixture of 25 colours, textures and finishes, Lips and Boys championed new shades and also gave way for the return of previously limited shades.
When you purchased in store, you also received a glossy carry case (about the size and shape of a cigarette box) to fit three lipsticks. Here are Beau, Giacomo and Patrick.
Imagine my delight to tell you that the collection is back this October and bigger than before! In addition to the previous lipstick collection, there will be 25 new boys and the opportunity to house them in a case for 3 or a case for 10.
All named after significant men in Tom's life, you might also find one to match someone special in your life. They make the best Christmas present if you can find one to match the name of a friend's partner.
I can't wait for the return of this collection; this is going to be total Tom Ford collector heaven.
See you in October, boys!

I got a haircut last week and had the stylist straighten my hair. I haven't straightened my hair in years, and it's never been this straight, so it was pretty drastic difference. I think Charlie was a little freaked out by it and he said he felt like he had a new wife. I felt like that when he shaved off his beard a few years ago, which got me thinking that we maybe need to change things up a bit more often. 🙂Here's me the next day:
Should I straighten it more often? I can't decide. (I'd probably have to buy oil that she used to get the same effect.) It sort of annoyed me by the end of the day, but I'm sure I'd get used to it.
Guess whose birthday is tomorrow…this guy!!!Eli will be 4 tomorrow! Nana brought his gift over a little early so he could wear it on Halloween. She gave him a Robin costume and even though he was sick and couldn't go trick-or-treating, he's loving his gift! We're really excited to celebrate Eli! (and thankful that everyone is on their way to being healthy for our bday weekend!)

AUP Course Offerings
Innovative Urban Education in Downtown Los Angeles
Science education at AUP aims at integrating the classroom instruction and experiences to the rapid advancements in the field of science and technology. Students are exposed to a variety of experiences that helps them to understand scientific methods, appreciate nature, understand the ever-changing global environment and the scientific phenomenon guiding everything around us. This appreciation and understanding that students develop at AUP equips them to address issues related to their personal environment as well as their community.
Science education at AUP utilizes the vast resources that downtown LA has to offer. Being only a few miles away from world class institutions like the Jet Propulsion lab, California Science Center, and the Griffith Observatory provides students with the opportunity to explore science beyond the classroom.
AUP's rigorous science programs use project-based learning and innovative assessment strategies. Our Integrated Science course allows students to choose their area of expertise and interest for AP level courses. The science department offers year-long lab courses in introductory and AP level courses in Chemistry, Physics, Biology.
The AUP English program aims to develop the communication skills of its students on multiple levels — critical reading, academic and creative writing, public speaking, and collaborative listening. We focus on these skills in the context of teaching various textual genres — poetry, drama, fiction, non-fiction, music, and film. English at AUP emphasizes the real-world significance and connections of ideas and texts to our students' lives — their personal beliefs, values, and ethics. We want our graduates to be dynamic life-long learners who understand their role and purpose in a global context, and to be equipped to make well-informed decisions and communicate their thoughts effectively.
The English curriculum begins with a year-long investigation of the basics of literature and literary analysis in the context of a course emphasizing writing. Students examine, discuss, and write about poetry, plays, fiction, and nonfiction, focusing on texts from many different time periods and cultures. Exercises in vocabulary building, close reading, and literary analysis are based on the fundamental skills taught in the ninth grade. Texts and authors include The Bible, Homer, Sophocles, Plato, Matsuo Basho, Olaudah Equiano, Tolstoy, Kafka, Chinua Achebe, Khaled Hosseini, Elie Wiesel, and Sandra Cisneros, etc. A survey of American literature from the foundations of America to the Civil War, and the second semester surveys American literature from the Civil War to the present follows. Students study representative works from each major literary period in relation to corresponding social and political events and issues and build skills in reading comprehension, literary response and analysis, writing strategies and application, vocabulary development, and written and oral English language conventions.
For students who have demonstrated excellence in their English courses, we offer the AP English Language and Composition course and AP English Literature and Composition, for juniors and seniors, respectively. British literature is also offered and is intended to deliver a chronological, thematic survey of British literature starting with its foundations in Anglo-Saxon times through modern literature. Students study representative works from each major literary period in relation to corresponding social and political events and issues.
The mission of the mathematics department at AUP is to provide a rigorous mathematics education to each student which promotes a high level of mathematical sophistication and instills a sense of wonder and curiosity about the role mathematics plays in our community, our planet, and our universe. At the core of the mathematics department is discovery-based learning where students are guided to understanding complex concepts through assignments created by our department. Learning mathematics at AUP goes beyond simply opening a textbook and doing problems. We are committed to providing a rich, value-added mathematical experience driven by a wide range of meaningful problems with emphasis on guided exploration, analysis, and mathematical modeling. Students obtain a deep understanding of the development of the mathematics they study through techniques of proof and creativity-based problem-solving skills applied to each concept through exploration of the myriad opportunities provided by emersion in a vibrant urban community. All students have the opportunity to take advanced, college-level mathematics culminating with Advanced Placement Calculus BC. Students also have the opportunity to take enriching, rigorous mathematics courses such as statistics, which is not honors-based in addition to independent study math courses that go beyond AUP's curriculum. Ultimately, the goal for students in AUP's mathematics program is content mastery through the excitement of discovery, active involvement in the discovery process, and the realization of the mathematical relationships prevalent in the world around us.
Social Sciences
The Global Studies & Social Sciences program at AUP fosters students' ability to explore the complexities of our globalizing world while reflecting on their shared human history. A culture of inquisitiveness guides our curriculum, encouraging students to reflect upon our society, how we relate to one another, and how we shape our environment. Through the Global Studies & Social Sciences program at AUP, students learn to critically reflect on themselves, use the tools of observation and research to indulge their curiosities, ask questions, and find answers to difficult questions faced by the citizens of our planet. Questions such as, "How can awareness of cultural and historical similarities and dissimilarities help us better understand our present world? Have humans and human society really changed that much over time? What are the forces of change in society and are we really capable of making a better world?" are commonly discussed bith inside and outside of Global Studies & Social Sciences classes.
We offer all students a set of rigorous courses designed to develop knowledge and skills through a four-year course of study, where students gain insight into the areas of geography, history, economics, politics, and global studies. In addition, each course emphasizes self-exploration, collaboration through projects, and technology-based learning. AUP students' diverse backgrounds, small class sizes, and seminar style courses ensure that students are constantly engaged in learning, whether through group debates, field trips to museums and talks, or even just talking over dinner.
Knowledge of our shared human history is essential to understand the present and to build a better future. The Global Studies & Social Sciences program at AUP helps students think on a larger scale in complex terms, and outside of the classroom in order to take ownership over their education and critically engage in shaping our global community.
Visual Arts
Arts Education at AUP is dynamic, innovative, engaging and filled with curiosity. At its core, critical thinking is quintessentially paramount. Students are challenged in every lesson, each vignette, and all of the projects with "whys" and "hows". In the creative process, the impact and success of the art product is often emotionally inclined. It is often challenging for the artist to address reasons behind their choices. Art education at AUP encourages students to learn not only what "feels" right on an intuitive basis, but arriving at an understanding of their decision, a rationale for their aesthetics through the study of art theories and the practice of analysis.
Experiential learning is also embedded throughout the course studies. As AUP resides in the fulcrum of Los Angeles culture, students have passes to the MOCA, are within walking distance to the Broad, a short drive from LACMA and access to world renowned public art and murals in neighboring ethnic enclaves. Class schedule is carefully planned and thoughtfully laid out to accommodate visits to these hands on and personal encounters with art in the public realm. We fervently believe in the benefits of the outdoor classroom and the power of touching and seeing before doing.
Visual and verbal exhibition of their art work culminate the course studies. Presentation and analytical skills are highly cultivated. Students are tasked to account for and speak about the entire creative process, not only the end product. Journal assignments provide a means to document their design development. Students and professionals are invited to serve on panels for final project review. Explaining and defending their creative decisions, fosters and expands their critical thinking and public speaking skills.
World Languages
At AUP, we prepare our students to be global citizens and leaders. Communication is one of the skills to enable leadership, which is emphasized in all of our courses, especially in our World language department. At AUP, we currently offer both Chinese and Spanish. Students have opportunities to investigate and explore new cultures throughout their journey at AUP. Reading, writing, listening and speaking are essential skills for learning a foreign language, however the most important aspect is to combine these abilities with culture through the entire learning process.
With our unique location in downtown Los Angeles, students have limitless opportunities to expand their learning experience. Downtown Los Angeles is a cultural hub with both Chinatown and Olvera Street just a Metro stop away from campus. These locations, along with the surrounding community, offer our students an authentic taste of both cultures.
Our classes go beyond the textbook to provide learning through a variety of materials including role- plays, songs, films, projects and field trips. We also take every opportunity to explore holidays and celebrations related to each culture. With all the opportunities our classes provide, students also gain confidence in public speaking by delivering cultural knowledge to their peers.
As a community, with a mosaic of different cultures, our curriculum allows students to immerse themselves in the global community inside and outside of the classroom. We encourage curiosity, courage and collaboration among students to expand their horizons and use their language skills to communicate with their fellow students, members of the community and people around the world.

Now that Westchester Health Pediatrics is part of Northwell Health and its physician organization, Northwell Health Physician Partners, we have greatly expanded our services to bring you and your family the best possible care. Best of all, this new relationship means that you now have access to Cohen Children's Medical Center, the New York metropolitan area's only hospital designed exclusively for children and one of the nation's best children's hospitals, according to U.S. News & World Report.
A wide range of sub-specialty pediatric services are now available to you at Cohen Children's Medical Center
Rest assured, Westchester Health Pediatrics physicians will continue caring for your child at the state-of-the-art locations where you currently see us. But in addition, you can now take advantage of the 88 outstanding sub-specialties and programs available at Cohen Children's Medical Center.
To make sure your child receives the highest quality medical care, Cohen Children's Medical Center offers a comprehensive array of sub-specialties, including cardiothoracic surgery, Childhood Brain and Spinal Cord Tumor Center, Cystic Fibrosis Center, Epilepsy Center, Fetal Cardiology Program, Hearing and Speech Center, Kidney Transplant Program, Leukemia and Lymphoma Program, Oncology Rare Tumors and Sarcoma Program, POWER Kids Weight Management Program and Stem Cell Transplant Program. All of these sub-specialties and many more are now available to you as part of our new affiliation with Northwell Health.
Here's a story about how a dedicated pediatric specialist enabled her patient to be what every child wants to be: a normal kid.
Olivia's journey toward wellness
When your child doesn't respond to standard treatment, a seasoned specialist makes all the difference.
Olivia Perera, 10, is much like any fifth grader. She loves to swim and skate, and sometimes her mother, Priyangani Rajapakse, has to tell her siblings — Sylvia, 16, and Riley, 14 — not to tease her. Unlike her peers, though, the young Bellerose resident has spent eight years fighting a kidney disorder called minimal change disease.
It began when she was just shy of her second birthday, and Olivia's whole body looked swollen.
"I thought it was spring [allergies], so I took her to the Cohen Children's Medical Center Urgi Center," Ms. Rajapakse said. "They agreed and sent us home. Afterward, I noticed the swelling was worse and that Olivia wasn't going to the bathroom."
Ms. Rajapakse and Olivia returned to the Urgi Center, and clinicians tested Olivia's urine. The results showed high levels of protein, so the staff brought mother and daughter to the Emergency Department. The doctors diagnosed Olivia with nephrotic syndrome caused by minimal change disease.
"Most children with minimal change disease — more than 90 percent — respond to the standard treatment of a two-month course of steroids," said Christine Sethna, MD, director of pediatric nephrology at Cohen Children's Medical Center. She added that Olivia initially responded well to steroids, but relapsed when Dr. Sethna began to wean her off them.
"Olivia became dependent on them, so we had to look at other treatment options to avoid complications from long-term steroid use," Dr. Sethna said. She has prescribed several immuno-suppressants during the past eight years while Olivia maintained a steroid regimen to prevent relapse. Unfortunately, the immuno-suppressants caused side effects like high blood pressure, abdominal pain, and oral ulcers and bruising.
High blood pressure increases the risk of a cardiovascular event in children with nephrotic syndrome, although the level of risk compared to the average child is unclear. Dr. Sethna is searching for answers.
Working to reduce future risks
"My research, which Olivia participates in, is a national, 14-site study of children with nephrotic syndrome," Dr. Sethna said. "Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in adults with a history of childhood kidney disease. Children usually develop it between the ages of 2 and 8. With our research, we hope to identify these patients early and intervene to reduce their risk."
A customized medication regimen allowed Olivia to stop taking steroids last June, and she's been in remission from minimal change disease and nephrotic syndrome since October 2016. Her doctors are hopeful she'll outgrow the syndrome during puberty, like most children with the disease.
Now, Olivia's enjoying life like any other tween girl, and she's even hoping to start dance classes.
"I'm so thankful for the nurses and doctors who have helped us, and go out of their way to cheer up Olivia when we have follow-up visits," Ms. Rajapakse said. "I'm confident her care is in good hands."
When you need us, we are here for you, now more than ever
At Westchester Health Pediatrics, even though some things have changed recently, the most important thing about us has not: our commitment to delivering the highest-quality standard of compassionate, patient-centered care for your child. Whether you have a newborn, toddler, adolescent, teenager or combination of all of these, we're here to help your child grow up to be healthy and happy, now and for a lifetime. Whenever, wherever you need us, we're here for you.

High School Student Issues New Warning … to His Generation: Tyranny Has Come, Will You Take Action?
Alec Scheer, Contributor
Activist Post.com
Sunday, February 10, 2013
To my generation,
Upon writing a letter to President Obama regarding his gruesome and unconstitutional drone policy, I feel it is paramount that I write a letter to you warning you about what is to come; warning you – that if you do not take action now – you will not be able to enjoy the life pleasures you have been acquainted to.
Full letter and links posted below…
I know, from personal experience, that most of you would rather be out partying, hanging out with friends, watching television, playing video games, or hanging out with your girlfriends/boyfriends than paying attention to politics. It is not hard to see that social appearances top that of actual intelligence and critical thinking. I understand that society has plagued you with a considerable amount of pro-government propaganda and demoralizing content. It is blaringly obvious that you rather have your friends think you are "cool" than stand out from among the crowd and stick up for your rights, as well as your morals. Lastly, I understand that not all of you have fallen ill to the ignorance that has an insurmountable stranglehold over our society. However, sad as this may be, we are in the minority. That being said, I don't mean to paint the matter with a broad brush, but a majority of our generation are not critical thinkers and are not the least bit interested in fighting against the ever-increasing authoritarian state. Therefore, this letter speaks to the majority as a warning, and it speaks to the minority as a motivator to furnish new warnings to our generation and as an inspiration to make us want to take further action.
The Rest…HERE

I recently heard from a friend of mine asking if I wanted to join his pity party. He listed everything happening in his world at that moment: my daughter puked, my son has a rash all over his body, my kids have a snow day but I have to get to work, my wife is MIA, my parents—who are driving me insane—are stuck in town for another day, and I need to get the hell out of town.
After laughing out loud, I began to think about how life is all about perspective. We are all the creators of our own reality. How we decide to interpret a given experience will not only determine how we feel about that experience, but also be the driver of future experiences.
So I started thinking to myself, what was my weekend like? My initial reaction was to respond, "Count me in your freaking pity party." Then I stepped back and, after reflecting in greater detail, I responded:
"Thank you for your invite and I think I have the necessary qualifications to join your pity party as I have been passing a kidney stone for the past 6 days and it's brutal. I went over to the new house we are building this weekend and our brand new floors and cabinetry are completely trashed as our contractor failed to cover them after installation. My son had to leave his hockey game early because he hurt his leg. My middle daughter got screwed over by her best friend, and my oldest daughter started a meltdown at 9:30 on Sunday night because her math homework wasn't completed and she needed me to get out of bed to help her. And by the way, 9th grade math is really hard.
However, on the flip side, this shit that I've been dealing with personally that I thought was going to last for 6 weeks is going to be over on Thursday and I'm psyched about that. My son who left his game early didn't want to go back out, so I said, "You know what? Let's just call it a day. Who do you want to have a play date with today?" He looked me straight in the eye and said, "Dad, I want to have a play date with you." Awww, that is so great.
I had a really amazing, connected conversation with my middle daughter (who was still reeling from her 5th grade friend drama) about the value of friendship and the value of holding your space in all situations. And as bitter as I was to get out of bed to "re-learn" 9th grade math, after I finally sat down and engaged with my oldest daughter, the lesson clicked with her and she completely got it. We had this fantastic moment where I knew that she knew that I knew that she totally got it. The big hug I received from a typical teenage non-hugger made it well worth the sleep deprivation. So I thought, "Well, you know what? After a bit more reflection I think I'm going to decline your invitation because I actually had a pretty amazing weekend."
And the reality is, like all things in life, the way we view our own individual experiences really just comes down to our own perspective. I won't lie, I'm still pissed about my contractor, but in general, if you continue to focus on how hard things are, things will continue to be hard. If you want to see how great the world can be, that will be your reality as well. There is no right or wrong way to experience the world, but it is critical to know that the reality of your own experience is completely up to you.

The world became a better place on July 7, 1993.
France-Anne Renee Sweeny was born and almost immediately her smile began to melt the hearts of everyone around her. Those of us who knew her then, knew that her bright, beautiful smile, her carefree laugh and her genuine love for life would continue to touch the hearts of all she met as she grew into a beautiful young woman.
From a very young age France-Anne had a profound love for all animals and especially for horses and dogs. She would often shriek "Horses! Horses!" when driving past a farm and although it was difficult on the ears, we all knew that someday she would find herself caring for and working with horses. France-Anne loved dogs and especially her own dogs. When her dog Buckley was just a puppy, she brought him to a family gathering and the only time she put him down was to eat dinner! She showed her love for animals in the love she gave them and all of them loved her in return. Her gentle caring touch brought out the best in all the animals in her care.
France-Anne was cheerful and friendly and loved to laugh and be carefree. Aside from school and family obligations, she was involved in so many other activities from a very early age: from soccer, karate and Irish Dancing to flute lessons, and counseling at horse camps. As with all things in her life, France-Anne gave as much as she received.
France-Anne had an inquisitive nature and a true love for learning. She wanted to find out more and constantly asked questions about everyone and everything. This habit only became a problem when she was watching a movie with others and especially when she was at a movie theatre with her uncle or her cousins!! This love of learning carried through to her work at school. She had a strong determination to do well in everything she worked at. Her perseverance through hard times in her life was inspirational to so many and even as she worked hard and excelled, she still managed to help others to do the same.
Although she asked many questions, France-Anne was also an attentive listener and cared about what people had to say. She had a gift for sharing herself with others, whether it was a ridiculous and silly story or a serious and inspirational personal experience. When her sharing encouraged people to respond and share their stories with her, she immediately made them feel loved and accepted. This gift touched many hearts as her family discovered only recently.
The world did become a better place on July 7th, 1993 and France-Anne worked constantly to continue to make her world a better place. Although tragedy struck on May 26th, 2009, we know she would not want it to end there. France-Anne would encourage all people to make their world a better place too. We have seen that it is true that one person can make a difference and all of us have been given the gifts to do the same!

During the conversation, I asked for proof that this image is faked:
Now, you might recognize this photograph, though you may not have seen it quite like this before, and it may also not be the specific one you've seen, This is a raw scan from one of the rolls of 70mm film taken by the crew of Apollo 17 in 1972. This shot, or one of the ones taken just before or after this one, became the basis for the famous "Blue Marble" that any of us who was alive in 1972 saw published in Life magazine. Many of us, including me, saw enlargements of this up close and personal in museums.
It wasn't exactly this. This is scanned directly from the slide film, about 30 years after the fact. It's slightly color-shifted and badly-composed. When it was published, it had been cropped and color-corrected. In fact, in that sense, there are many versions of the shot, because each art director who prepared a copy for publication may have had a different idea of how the colors should be.
When I linked to this shot, of course I got the usual "where are the stars?" which I've already addressed. In fact, the direct quote was, "So I am to believe I am able to see stars with the naked eye on earth but millions spent by NASA they can not capture stars." As if, first, the millions were all spent on the camera, and, second, spending millions suddenly changes how photography works.
But the point of this post is not the authentication of this photo, though I may get back to that in the future. The point is that this person also posted this: "There is no proof of apollo missions, you base beliefs on images and blogs. Mine are from primary sensory [sic]." Then, about an hour later, posted this meme:
So much for "primary sensory." But let's set aside the double standard and concentrate on the meme. The implication is that NASA took a photo of an Egyptian desert, modified it, and tried to pass if off as a picture of Mars.
And in fact, someone did that. But it wasn't NASA.
Google (which many flat-Earthers and conspiracy theorists denounce as an evil part of the conspiracy, even as they continue to use it), has a great tool, the search-by-image function in image searches. So, I though I'd give it a try. I extracted the Earthbound image from the meme, thusly:
And Google was able to find it in the Wikimedia commons. Here is the original image:
You can find attribution information (which the meme-maker never supplies) here. It was taken from the side of the road in the Black Desert. Now go try to find the Mars version. You'll only find it paired with this picture, in the meme and like this:
Here, of course, it is clearly identified as a fake Mars picture. I have not been able to find any indication that NASA or any serious science website has ever tried to pass this picture off as being from Mars.
So, did the poster who sent me this lie? Well, certainly in the sense of claiming to only use "primary sensory." In fact, this poster's timeline is full of memes from other Twitter users. But it's also a lie because the poster is taking someone else's word, without any further thought or investigation, to call someone else a liar.
Now, this particular poster is not important in the flat-Earth scene. With only about 60 tweets and 14 followers as I write this, this Twitter user is not having much influence.
But the tactics are rampant among flat-Earth proponents. Which, for a group that relies for their entire case on calling a rather large number of people liars, is the height of hypocrisy.
