There's something about female hair loss that seems to add a second stigma, almost, to the already considerable pain of encroaching baldness. In part, that's probably a simple factor of the rarity of female baldness, it's far less likely for a woman to go naturally bald than for a man. That, in turn, is a function of the known cause of all natural hair loss, which is an excess of a male hormone in the scalp. Obviously, Ramada Lumut Resort men are more likely to have this hormone in abundance because they are male. When a woman finds herself going bald, it's more of a shock simply because it doesn't happen so much.
Female hair loss also, obviously, suffers from a cultural connotation. For centuries, women in Western and Eastern cultures have been identified by the lushness and length of their hair. Try thinking of a legend, fable or old story in which a central female character does not have long, luscious hair, and you'll see what we mean. There's a reason Rapunzel had masses of golden hair; just as there's a reason that, until recently, sweethearts in Western cultures would routinely carry a lock of the loved female's hair with them wherever they went. No wonder, then, that female hair loss, when it happens, carries such a freight of shock and embarrassment with it. When a man loses hair, he is not losing anything culturally associated with manliness or manhood. When a woman loses hair, part of her cultural identification as a woman is falling away.
What can be done about it? These days, fortunately, quite a lot. In the past, dealing with hair loss in a man or a woman was possible up to a point, but usually futile because it looked so unnatural. Modern treatments for hair loss can produce a quite convincing head of hair , particularly when the patient opts for FT, or Follicular Transfer, a mild surgery based technique that encourages individually implanted hair to grow on a balding site. Female hair loss is as likely to receive successful treatment in this vein as male hair loss and the success rate in men, to date, has been astonishing.
Because female hair loss is caused by the exact same thing as male hair loss, and because FT works so well on men, there is no reason to suppose that it can't work on women. Indeed, to date there has been every success with females undergoing the treatment. Female baldness may well be more distressing than the male counterpart but at least the treatments for it are equally successful.

A judge overseeing the estate of the wife of "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman gave permission today to the woman's two sisters to try to sell part or all of the struggling restaurant once owned by their sibling.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff said any sale of the Zabumba Bar & Restaurant in the Palms area must be approved by him. He also directed attorney Richard W. Petty, who represents the sisters of Monica Beresford-Redman, to give updates to lawyers for David and Juanita Beresford- Redman, the producer's parents and guardians of his two children.
Beckloff previously gave the two siblings, Jeane Burgos and Carla Van Bastelaar, authority to run the restaurant. Both were in court today.
Beresford-Redman is in federal custody awaiting possible extradition to Mexico. He is charged in the death of his 42-year-old wife, whose body was found last April 8 in a sewer at the Moon Palace Hotel in Cancun, where the couple was vacationing.
Van Bastelaar told Beckloff that business has been slow at the restaurant during the winter months.
Adrienne R. Hahn, an attorney for the producer's parents, said selling the eatery is probably a good move to benefit the estate. The attorney said there could be an outright sale, or the sisters could bring in another partner.
Hahn said she will attempt to find out the sales value of the restaurant.
Beckloff also said he was growing increasingly concerned about delays in determining which of two wills, one put forward by the sisters and the other by Beresford-Redman's parents, represents the true intentions of Monica Beresford-Redman in distributing her property upon her death.
Beckloff said the will issue has been in a "holding pattern" with the first anniversary of the woman's death now less than three months away.
The sisters maintain a will signed by their sibling in 2004 represents her true intentions. But during a hearing last June before he was arrested, Beresford-Redman testified that he and his wife both signed another document in 2008 prior to a trip to Australia. His parents now maintain that will supersedes the 2004 document.
Beckloff said he wants to hold a non-jury trial to determine first if the 2008 will meets all of the necessary legal requirements. For now, he has set a status conference for Feb. 23. Both wills are in the custody of the court.
The key difference in the two wills is that the earlier document allows Monica Beresford-Redman's two young children to inherit her property, while the second one declares her in-laws as the beneficiaries, according to Petty.
Two witnesses are required in order to validate a will at the time it is executed. Petty said that in most cases, the witnesses are chosen with care so they can be identified if necessary.
Hahn said the signers of the 2008 will were a former family nanny and a former cook for the Beresford-Redmans. She said she is still trying to locate the cook and that it may be necessary to get a court order directing a pharmacy that administered a prescription to the ex-employee to provide a current address.

Very similar to a Squat Patty but with a slight difference in that this variation tends to send the toilet water splattering back up on your ass.
After the 6 burritos he had for breakfast, James found himself sitting on the toilet dropping a Squat Patty that he ended up having to use the entire roll of toilet paper cleaning up afterwards.

One day you'll realize,
That it was your hands,
On the knife that killed love,
As he fell from the heavens above,
All he could think of,
Was being betrayed,
by the ones he loved, (C)
The moon
Sleepless is the night,
The moon was set on fire,
We all ran out to see,
This beautiful, bleak-blooded moon,
So hot, she tangled with the sun,
For almost an hour,
Before they kissed goodbye,
Only dreaming of another opportunity,
To meet again,
Darkness and light,
Parting as friends (C)
Love hate
Love is deeper than any bruises,
Hate keep us all confuse,
Love make us feel use,
Hate make us all refuse,
Cuz love is a game,
That hate choose, (C)
it must be the title of the poem that keeps bringing me here. A hopeless romantic.:D
and again can you believe it
send you an email, re reading some of your work, i am always surprised to see i have been here before, guess i read so much i forget where i have trodden before...... enjoy your day
mmmmmmmm love and it's pain eh

The Twelfth Doctor experienced the shrinking TARDIS in the episode "Flatline". The shrinking of the TARDIS was a residual effect from a two dimentional race trying to invade our dimention. The TARDIS remained in its shrunken state througout the episode where Clara had to find a way to escape these two dimentional creatures and resize the TARDIS and the Doctor inside. Luckily by using thier own dimentional powers against them, the Doctor resized the TARDIS and sealed the two dimentional creatures in their own dimention.
The Shrunken TARDIS can now appear in all of your Doctor Displays with the 1:6 Scale Collector Expansion Pack from BIG Chief Studios. Hand NOT included.
Please Note: due to a factory error the cards were printed on thicker card and need to be carefully peeled to allow them to fit smoothly into the Shrunken TARDIS.
To replace the original portrait head that came with the figure, follow these simple assembly instructions:
Now included is the 12th Doctor Sunglasses (Open and Closed) and 2 Sonic Screwdrivers both green and blue.

Christian Focus 4 Kids kindly sent me an e-book of 'Charles Spurgeon Prince of Preachers' which I have reviewed for them.
Charles Spurgeon Prince of Preachers is a very well written book of historical fiction on the life of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, possibly one of the best preachers of all time.
Charles is a 15 year old boy on his way to church when a blizzard strikes he ends up in a small country church the stand in minister gives a very powerful message which would change Charles' life forever. Charles grows up meeting many people, changing many lives and making history. Charles Spurgeon died in Meneton, France with gout.
I was interested to read this book because I have watched a film about Spurgeon and know a little about his life, also I have read about him in other books. I expected this book to be easy to read because I have read other trailblazer books from the series, it was indeed an easy read.
I liked the way the author wrote the book in a way that you felt you were the character and it was your life, also the author described the situations in Spurgeons life well.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to know about Charles Spurgeon and the main events in his life, though as always with historical fiction it's good to remember you are reading a story based on the history not 'actual' history.
Thank you Christian Focus for giving me the opportunity to read another book in this series.

Due to company policy, we cannot recommend any brands for your required supplements. Please try to find friends who have experience with supplement products, a quick internet search would also prove fruitful and guide you in the direction of the best products out there. Once you have made your choice, follow the dosages and instructions mentioned on the information leaflet which accompanies your product. Every brand has a different regimen best recommended by its own manufacturer.
The only thing we want to make sure of is that if your supplement plan includes whey, have a one-scoop whey shake within 20 minutes of completing your workout, the sooner the better. Some whey products require you to take one scoop a day, others require two or three. To reiterate, follow the instruction leaflet but make sure that your main shake is taken post-workout as mentioned above.
The reason we do not specify recipes for your nutrition plan is that we do not wish to limit the ways in which you could prepare your food, in order to avoid your boredom due to repetition of meals or snacks. There isn't one correct way to prepare or cook your food, which is why we leave that up to you. We do not believe in excessive restrictions or diets that starve you, we strongly believe in adopting overall healthy eating habits, eating healthy shouldn't be considered a challenge and we try to keep it that way. Feel free to be creative or to look up recipes online. We also have a growing recipes database on our website which we will constantly be adding to with time.
However, here are some general guidelines for you to follow:
If you have any further or more specific questions, don't hesitate to contact customer support with your inquiry. This is what we're here for.
To keep your body's metabolism engaged throughout the day; we have given you smaller, more frequent meals. You have three main meals which provide your body with all the macronutrients it needs to accommodate new physical challenges, promoting muscle gain, fat loss and general fitness. Your snacks are there to keep your metabolism fired up and to keep you from feeling hungry throughout the day, keeping those food cravings in check and preventing any deviations from your nutrition plan.
You should evenly space out your meals throughout the day, your three main meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) should be approximately 5 hours apart. Start by having breakfast within one hour of waking up. Have your snacks halfway in between your main meals. Doing this means you will have something to eat every 2-3 hours. Your last meal should be taken two hours (and not any less) before you go to sleep.
As best as you can, try to align your meals with your training so that you do not have any main meals in the 2 hour period prior to your workout, this gives you the benefit of staying light for your workout in addition to the improved benefit of a post-workout meal. Snacks are great pre-workout meals to fuel your workout.
Your supplements are independent of your nutrition plan, follow the dosages mentioned on the information leaflets attached to your purchased supplement products. If your supplement plan includes whey, make sure to have a one-scoop whey shake within 20 minutes of completing your workout, the sooner the better.
Regarding fluid intake; you should aim for 3 liters of water a day. Of those 3 liters you may have (no more than) two servings of freshly squeezed juice, coffee or tea.
Make sure your juice has no preservatives or refined sugars. Coffee and tea are allowed provided that they do not interfere with your sleep and that you are not experiencing any symptoms such as anxiety, stomach upset, tremors or other similar conditions.
You may use a natural sweetener such as honey, the second best alternative to honey is natural cane sugar. You can add a small amount of any kind of milk/creamer that you please. Avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners completely.
Regarding your juice snack, it is best prepared using a juicer. You may also use a blender, adding ice and milk to make a smoothie. You should have one serving (best made fresh), however you may prepare an extra amount and keep it refrigerated, just add a few drops of lemon juice to keep it from turning dark while stored.
If you do not wish to add spinach/kale to your juice, you may omit it as long as you eat it separately.
Your assigned nutritionist has structured your nutrition plan in such a way that your meals and snacks fully provide you with the macronutrients and micronutrients your body needs to accommodate your log's physical demands.
This means that the portions mentioned are ideal for muscle gain and fat loss. The frequency of your meals keeps your metabolism engaged, which promotes fat loss. Your daily caloric intake is carefully calculated so that there is a caloric deficit (a difference between the calories you burn and the calories you ingest), which also promotes fat loss.
You might feel like this is a lot to eat, but try to eat as much of it as you can until you are able to eat everything that is mentioned on your program. This also keeps you from feeling hungry (especially during the second half of your log where your exercises will intensify) and deviating from the plan, killing any food cravings you may get. Soon enough, you will get used to your new and healthier eating habits. Your body needs every portion of every meal mentioned in your nutrition plan in order for your log to be effective in terms of fulfilling your goals.
That being said, please make sure that you are properly following the portions mentioned in your plan, those portions are meant for cooked food and not raw food. For example, one cup of rice indicates one cup of cooked rice (which includes water weight and volume) not one cup of uncooked rice.
Your body's natural metabolic rhythm is highest in the morning and lowest during night time. Your three main meals are structured accordingly; when you eat those foods highest in caloric count earlier in the day, your body is able to burn them more efficiently giving you the energy you need and avoiding fat gain.
This is why the specific order of your meals is of vital importance. Changing the timings of your meals will affect how full you're feeling when it's time for the next meal, which may lead you to not finishing the whole meal. The amount of food you eat is carefully calculated by your assigned nutritionist to suit your body's needs.
Therefore, you may occasionally switch the order of a meal and a snack if you absolutely have to, but try not to make it a habit.
The most important thing to learn about maintaining fitness is that both training and nutrition play major roles in positive progress, neither is fully effective without the other. This is why we recommend that you repeat the program to gain maximal benefit of your log, otherwise your 8 week period will not have served its purpose. We cannot expect proper progress if you are not sticking to either part of your plan.
A cheat meal serves two purposes; firstly, when your body adapts to healthy food intake, after some time your baseline metabolic rate somewhat normalizes. A dense meal such as your cheat meal gives your digestive system a push causing a spike in metabolism, which promotes fat loss. It also gives you the chance to kill any food cravings you normally get as a sort of reward for a week well trained. For those reasons, we include cheat meals in your plan. However, there are limits within which the effect of a cheat meal remains beneficial, if you overdo it you are inevitably causing your body to gain fat.
Keep this in mind, focus on your progress, think about your fitness goals and acknowledge the fact that repeating this would render most of the effort you put into one week useless in just one day. Do whatever it takes to remain motivated and make sure this is the last time you slip up and keep going with the rest of your program, sticking to what the log says.
Remember, it won't be easy, but it'll definitely be worth it.
The most important thing to understand about training for fat loss is that targeted fat loss is a myth; there aren't any certain exercises that will make you specifically lose belly fat or thigh fat for example.
The human body has a natural manner in which it stores fat, the first body part in which fat is deposited is the mid-section. This is why the reversal of this process (fat loss) means that the last body part to lose fat will also be your mid-section. Fat loss is a process that occurs simultaneously throughout the whole body. In addition, every body has its own unique way of responding to fat loss training.
This is why there is no such thing as exercises that will target fat loss to a specific body part. The process of fat loss will take its natural course and it will eventually get you where you want to be, you just have to persevere. This won't be an easy ride but achieving those goals you set for yourself will make it worthwhile.

Top 10 Team Building TrendsCorporate leaders, trainers, coaches and consultants are drawn to team building because of its long-term effectiveness in the workplace. As we look toward goal achievement and plans for individual and team development, it's valuable to know the trends in the business.
Key benefits of team building include:
•Communication enhancement – breaking down barriers
•Build on individual strengths and strengthen leadership skills
•Create opportunities for groups of people to work with each other to accomplish goals and objectives
•Leveraging resources – break down silos
•Tap into new avenues of creativity and brainstorming
•Project management, organization and teamwork skills
Here is a list of the top 10 trends:
1. Team Building that gives back to the community – Corporate Social Responsibility and Philanthropic focused events; charity bike build, putt putt for pantry, backpacks for kids, to name a few.
2. TV inspired events – Min It to Win It Teams, music and video events, Corporate Survivor, Amazing Race and game show simulations.
3. Virtual team building events – on-line and multi-location interactive events.
4. Culinary-centric Events – sangria making and marketing challenge, stir-fry cooking challenge, bake a cake and chili cook-off.
5. Team building with movement, art and music – drum circles, team movement, team artwork projects.
6. Technology and Gaming – smart phone hunts, urban gaming, iPad team events,
7. Team Development Events – experience-based training events tied to specific team or corporate development objectives.
8. Team Building and Business Simulations – leadership and business skills development.
9. Outdoor and Adventure-based – strategic activities, ropes challenge courses, build a boat and orienteering.
10. Multi-day destination retreats – consultative experience-based professional development events.
Team building events are not to be confused with recreational activities. The ROI and true value of a well facilitated team building experience comes from process, debrief and reflective questioning.

Recently a blog peep suggested drooling as an alternative to meditiation and it SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
Unless you count the extended sessions on my couch sitting Indian style and obsessing on one specific topic, I am just not a meditator. I mean, I'm not clearing my mind per say, but I am clearing it of all thoughts but ONE…. like one day it might be my bills, other (lots of) days I ruminate on my incredibly sucky taste in men and the loneliness that engorges my so-called life. By the way, "Indian style" is politically incorrect now. My son's preschool refers to it as "criss cross" or to make it more fun, it's "criss cross apple sauce."
My ferociously missed ex-therapist used to revisit the idea of meditation every few months. Me being the high strung lunatic that I am much of the time, he rationalized that deep breathing and clearing my mind and all that shit would help me. I tried the first time he suggested it. After that my response to his suggestion to try again was, "ehhh" accompanied by a brisk shoo-it-away-like-a-fruit-fly hand motion.
Meditation does not work for me because it is TOO MUCH WORK. I simply CANNOT clear my mind (without the use of drugs, as wag the dad mentioned, or reality tv which. sort of is the new designer drug, no?) The mental tension that I inflict on my brain when I try and FAIL to think of NOTHING is not only tiring in the keep me awake kinda way, but it annoys the shit out of me AND makes me feel like a useless loser when I fail. I like challenges but not ones that I can NEVER EVER EVER EVEN IMPROVE UPON. I've tried the fucking breathing and yes: deep breathing is nice. It fills my lungs but does not erase my thoughts.
I finally thought of something that seemed to relax me and I described it to my therapist and he informed me that it is already in practice and is called GUIDED IMAGERY: because I can't shut my thoughts off but if I replace them with other thoughts, I'm good. Guided imagery is kind of like reading but not having to read. It's like escaping. The problem is finding a good voice and story. I am picky. It has to be a woman voice for some odd reason, and I need to be at the beach or something. I think a man's voice would be cool if they didn't all sound like 80 year old grandpas.
There are a variety of guided imagery styles and of course you can sample a trillion of them on youtube. In fact, when I remember to do the damn thing, I can never find a good one so I spend so much time finding one on youtube that I end up needing stress relief just from the agony of the search. Moving along, let me bullet myself:
- I do not like the guided imagery that tells you to tighten and relax your muscles. I know how to do that. Yoga made me do it. I don't need instructions.
- I cannot tolerate the "imagine you are floating on a cloud" bullshit. My guided imagery needs to be real. I don't read science fiction so I don't want to imagine it either.
- Inspirational and/or contemplative shit pisses me off too. I'm not trying to think harder about the inner workings of my life and times. And if I want to be inspired I will watch the Real Housewives of Orange County and get inspired to secure a good paying job so I can afford the botox and the puffed out lips.
- MY guided imagery needs to be realistic escapism. That voice better be leading me on a relaxing walk along the beach with the sound of the ocean waves crashing and some salty sea air wafting up my nose while the sun beats down on my bronzed skin, soaking me in a bath of moist warmth. Simmer down guys, I know that sounded a mite sexual 😉
My therapist suggested that I implement my writing skills and draft up my own image, record them and listen to myself. But who likes the way they sound on a recording? Noone. And I don't want to be writing my own escape because I will be critiquing it instead of falling into a hazy dreamworld where bills don't exist, where men don't talk because if they don't talk they can't lie, and where everyone is gorgeous and happy.
I could NOT find a good youtube sample for my readers and I didn't feel like doing an hour long search so sorry about it. If you find one that suits my fancy, share away. Or better yet, fellow bloggers, perhaps each of you should write me up your own narrative and record it for me so I have a compilation of guided imagery to either calgon me away or medicate me with laughter. 🙂
p.s. Said therapist told me that STUDIES HAVE SHOWN that watching t.v. uses less areas in the brain than sleeping. So it's official. Watching t.v. is actually mind numbingly therapeutic. Who doesn't want to meditate on Roseanne? talk about GUIDED IMAGERY. I can trace each of my major bouts of double depression by the t.v. I drowned myself with. I watched a month long marathon of America's Next Top Model when my ex husband picked up the needle and his first cousin's wife. When I dumped my last loser boyfriend a year or so ago I watched 8 seasons of Buffy the vampire slayer on youtube, each in 4 sections and with backward images, and in about two weeks. I can't watch the following sitcoms anymore because now that I associate them with my "moments" they are no longer funny: Roseanne, That 70's Show, and …….wow I know there's another one but I seemed to have blocked it completely out.

**Once in command, he boxed in the British
At Boston where he captured Dorchester Heights
Overlooking the Brits at his mercy
As his men took aim with their cannon sites.
The British commander had but one choice
To sail to New York to renew the fight.
Where the English had much greater forces
Who soon chased Washington's men in full flight.
They continued on to Pennsylvania
After crossing the Hudson in retreat
With the British forces in hot pursuit
It looked as though George was doomed to defeat.
When winter seemed to have stopped the fighting
That's when Washington crossed the Delaware.
On that Christmas night he captured Trenton
Where Hessians were surprised and unaware.
He whipped the British at Princeton
Where in victory his men began to sing.
Washington then wintered at Morristown
Training his troops for the combat of spring.
Washington fought bravely at Brandywine
And again at a place called Germantown
But the British were the victorious ones
As the dead of both sides covered the ground
Americans were blessed early that spring
When the French entered the war on their side.
Though most suffered frostbite at Valley Forge
With the help of the French they marched in stride.
The battles raged on, in the North and South
As the King's soldiers laid waste to the land.
Washington himself was in great despair
Pleading for aid for his weakened command.
His prayers were answered by 5000 troops
And a French fleet who took Chesapeake Bay.
They bottled up Cornwallis at Yorktown
Who surrendered to victory drums at play.
Yorktown was really the end of the war
Though not many quite realized that fact yet.
But the British soon grew tired of the fight
And the terms for its end were signed and set.
Washington yearned to retire at home
But his country chose him first president.
Cheering crowds waved flags of love and support
For they believed that "he," by God, was sent.**

text: Iditarod Winner Is Race's Oldest Ever Mitch Seavey scores 2nd victory at age 53 By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Mar 13, 2013 6:56 AM CDT Updated Mar 13, 2013 7:19 AM CDT 16 comments Comments Mitch Seavey became the oldest winner and a two-time Iditarod champion when he drove his dog team under the burled arch in Nome on Tuesday evening, March 12, 2013. (AP/ Anchorage Press/ Alaska Dispatch) View 4 more images (Newser) – This year's Iditarod winner is its oldest ever—and he just happens to be the father of last year's winner, the youngest ever. Mitch Seavey, 53, and his 10 dogs finished the grueling 1,000-mile race in nine days, 7 hours, and 39 minutes, the AP reports. He also won in 2004. The runner-up this year took the No. 2 spot last year, too: Aliy Zirkle crossed the finish just 24 minutes behind Seavey, making it the fourth-closest Iditarod. "You're going to win this thing, probably more than once," Seavey told her. The two had been in tight competition. "I just now stopped looking over my shoulder," Seavey said after winning. "This is for all the gentlemen of a certain age who think it ends at 50, 'cause it doesn't," he noted, per the Anchorage Daily News. "I gotta go congratulate my lead dog, Tanner ... He's probably the best I've ever had." He wins $50,400 and a 2013 Dodge Ram pickup. Zirkle will receive $47,100. "I was going for it," she said, "but that slippery little sucker, I couldn't catch him."

Maryville Daily Forum: Donation contains career's worth of know-how
Two Northwest Missouri State University alumni donated original notes and materials to the Department of Behavioral Sciences to assist students with preparing for careers as school counselors.
Connie and Kent Miller, of Excelsior Springs, donated the items from Bright Ideas, a curriculum series they designed to help elementary counselors run better programs and provide help for children. The materials reflect Connie's unique talents as a veteran art educator and school counselor.
Miller personally delivered 20 boxes of original materials to Northwest in April. Bright Ideas will be used to support school counselors in training at Northwest as they learn to implement strategies that help children be better learners.
"Connie's and Kent's generosity has been and continues to be remarkable," said Dr. Shelly Hiatt, assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences. "Connie has been a consistent supporter of Northwest's graduate program for years. As well as her donation of Bright Ideas, Connie has donated her time to speak with graduate classes throughout the years."
The Millers both hold Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from Northwest. Connie has degrees in art education and guidance and counseling, and Kent has degrees in history and library sciences.

Alexis Jordan wants to work with Tinie Tempah
Alexis Jordan wants to work with Tinie Tempah
Alexis Jordan wants to duet with Tinie Tempah.
The 19-year-old US singer is a huge fan of the 'Written in the Stars' rapper and admitted she was also impressed with his "gentlemanly" behaviour when they recently met.
She said: "I love Tinie Tempah, his music is so awesome. I love the way he does dance music, but then his rapping is also awesome. I met him recently and he was a gentleman.
"So was Chipmunk actually, I was surprised by that because his music is so hardcore!"
Tinie and Chipmunk are not the only British artists Alexis is a huge fan of, as she would also love to work with dubstep singer Katy B.
She said: "I think Katy B is amazing, she's really talented. I love Adele and Professor Green too, there are so many different variations in musical style here in the UK, so it's difficult to choose just one."
While Alexis doesn't want to emulate any other female artist she has admitted she would love to have the longevity of Mariah Carey's career.
She added: "The artist whose career everyone would want is Mariah Carey because she's been on the top of her game since she was my age until now, which is really amazing."

With a "vibrant and dynamic" orange-red livery that customers in its all-important Asian markets associate with prosperity and success, Boeing rolled out the 747-8 Intercontinental passenger jet Sunday in a celebration attended by 10,000 employees and guests.
"This is a new airplane and we wanted a new livery," Boeing Vice President and airplane production chief Pat Shanahan said as a curtain dropped revealing the 467-passenger jet. "We wanted to be seen as vibrant and dynamic."
Although it is the third generation of what is probably the world's most recognized jet, the 747-8 is the first time the four-engine aircraft has been stretched. It is now 250 ft. 2-in. long, – 18 ft. more than the 747 "classics" or 747-400, and carries 51 more passengers in a nominal three-class seating. Flight testing is expected to start in late March with FAA certification and first delivery in the fourth quarter.
For more than a decade, Boeing promoted various upgrades to the hugely successful 747-400 but made little headway with the business case until it could offer them with the 67,000 lb. thrust General Electric GEnx-2B67 engines, derived from engines developed for the 787. They are hung from a new 224-ft. 7 in. super-critical wing that includes new flaps, and fly-by-wire spoilers and ailerons. The aircraft also incorporates a larger empennage, new avionics and a 787-inspired interior.
That combination forms the backbone for Boeing's claim that when it enters service early next year with Lufthansa German Airlines, the 747-8 will offer 16% better fuel economy than the -400 and a 12% advantage of seat-mile costs.
Despite those advantages, Boeing has found only lukewarm acceptance of the passenger version of the 747-8. Lufthansa has ordered 20, Korean Air five and private parties – mostly believed to be foreign governments – have asked for eight in a Boeing Business Jet version. In contrast, the 747-8 Freighter has registered 64 orders. It is now in flight testing with first delivery to Cargolux set for the third quarter 2011.
Lufthansa Executive Vice President Nico Buchholz said the carrier began considering a successor to its 747-400 fleet in 2002. It had two criteria: "a little more performance" – which really means much better fuel burn and some additional range -- and a better environmental package to meet Europe's increasingly stringent requirements to reduce noise and pollution.
Boeing vice president and deputy program manager Elizabeth Lund is optimistic that lessons learned during flight tests of the 747-8F freighter will enable the faced-paced 600-hour plus -8I test effort to stay on track for completion before year-end. "The schedule is aggressive but achievable and we're performing to plan at this point. Based on what we're learning on the freighter it gives us confidence about how it will perform," she says.
Following the first flight of RC001 late in March a second test aircraft, RC021, will follow after "about a month," says Lund. A third 747-8I will supplement the final phase by conducting high intensity radiated fields (HIRF) and electromagnetic interference tests of the interior and its systems. "We're already off to a good start," says Lund. "We rolled it out factory complete, and that's a sign of how ready it is. We rolled it out on time (to a date) we committed to last November."
Lund says key challenges for the -8I flight test program will be validating handling qualities of the aircraft with the stretched upper deck (the -8F retains the original short upper deck), as well as tests of the environmental control system (ECS) and the ability of sensors to detect smoke in the interior.
Boeing 747 vice president engineering, Todd Zarfos says the -8I "is a smaller test program. It will mostly be aimed at proving the interior, as well as some stability and control tests, and flutter – though much smaller in scope than on the -8F." The second aircraft will be focused on ECS and interiors test work, while the short duration testing of the third aircraft will be used for HIRF susceptibility evaluation and other "first of model type tests. But we could think of it as a two aircraft test program," he adds.

Americans might complain about the high cost of living, but overseas the U.S. dollar is even weaker. Find out where it buys the least.
Australia, former penal colony, home to the Great Barrier Reef, and producer of world-class shiraz, has never exactly been synonymous with a high cost of living. Yet because of a strong economy and proximity to the booming Asia Pacific region, many overseas visitors might find it more expensive to slip an extra shrimp -- or just about anything else for that matter -- on the barbie here than in most other countries around the world. In fact, in a recent survey, six Australian cities placed among the top 30 most expensive in the world, according to global human resources firm ECA International. Just two years ago, not a single Australian city ranked in the top 100.
|More from BusinessWeek.com:
? World's Most Expensive Cities 2011
? 20 Countries With the Highest Proportion of Millionaires
? America's Most Expensive Blocks
Australia is not alone in becoming more expensive. Singapore, for example, rose to No. 36 in ECA's ranking, from No. 68 last year, on the strength of the Singapore dollar. Caracas, Venezuela, rose from No. 91 to No. 15, a result of rampant inflation.
The city that earns the dubious honor of being the most expensive for holders of U.S. dollars is Tokyo, a rank it also enjoyed last year. How expensive is it? How about $24 for a movie ticket and nearly $11 for a beer. Japan dominated the ranking with four of the 10 most expensive -- in addition to Tokyo, Nagoya (No. 3), Yokohama (No. 5), and Kobe (No. 9) also made the list.
Due to the weakened U.S. dollar, no U.S. city ranked in the top 30 this year. The country's most expensive city, Manhattan, N.Y., fell to No. 44, from No. 28 in 2010, making it cheaper than Canada's Toronto (No. 37) and Vancouver (No. 42). The U.S.'s second most expensive city, Honolulu, fell to No. 62 from No. 40. (And while they haven't yet, it could be only a matter of time before Beijing (No. 46) and Shanghai (No. 47) crack the top 30.)
Of course, a weak dollar is not necessarily a bad thing. "If the U.S. continues to be relatively cost-effective in an international context, we will see companies pay more attention to whether they are saving money by expanding operations in places like Asia if the cost of living in these places is increasing," says Lee Quane, ECA International's regional director for Asia.
Aussie Dollar Strengthens
ECA International's ranking is based on a survey carried out in more than 400 cities worldwide in March. It compares the costs of living for expatriates maintaining a standard of living on a par with developed countries to guide employers' salary and benefits offers. Items such as food and beverage, basic goods and services, and some entertainment are included, but the survey excludes housing, utilities, car purchases, and school fees, which can vary widely and typically are counted separately in expatriate compensation packages.
A combination of inflation, availability of goods, and exchange rates affect costs. "The strong Australian dollar, which hit parity with the U.S. dollar last November and has strengthened further since, has been a significant factor behind the continued rise of Australian locations up the global ranking," Anna Michielsen, general manager for Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific for ECA International, said in a release.
The Australian dollar has strengthened by nearly 30 percent against the U.S. dollar since last June. That means a $100 meal would have cost about $83 last June and now costs about $106. The country is also becoming more expensive than other locations in Asia: ECA points out that goods and services in Sydney were only 3 percent more expensive than in Hong Kong last year and are now 17 percent more costly.
Rising prices, particularly of food and energy, also play a role: Fruit prices in Australia were up 24.9 percent year-on-year in the first quarter and vegetable prices 18.7 percent (due in part to floods); electricity rose 11.7 percent and gasoline 9.3 percent, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Overall consumer prices in the quarter were 3.3 percent above their level a year ago. The bureau forecast in January that weekly living costs for families could increase by as much as A$100 per week this year.
Deteriorating Competitiveness
The cost of a quick lunch in a Sydney restaurant is now $27.10, compared with $20.57 in Manhattan; a dozen eggs is $5.60, against $3.65 in Manhattan; and a tube of toothpaste is $5 vs. $3.72 in Manhattan, according to ECA International.
Since 2004, Australia has seen a deterioration in its relative competitiveness doing business globally, says Glenn Mair, director of MMK Consulting in Vancouver and a leader of KPMG's Competitive Alternatives study, which analyzes the costs of doing business in cities around the world.
In 2004, the cost of doing business in Australia was about 8.5 percent lower than in the U.S., according to KPMG's report. By 2010, the gap had shrunk to 2.2 percent, due to Australia's strong dollar and stable economy during the global economic crisis.
"I anticipate some improvement for U.S. [competitiveness] if currency trends stay the same," Mair says. He adds, however, that volatile exchange rates can make this hard to predict.
It is too early for companies to change their strategy based on recent cost changes, and many other considerations are involved, says ECA's Quane. Still, signs are that U.S. cities may be becoming more cost competitive for businesses.

We have to do what? The Dance Moms contestants are clearly shocked by what has been asked of them
Lifetime's Dance Moms has hit new lows by asking its child contestants - the youngest of whom is just eight-years-old - to dress in bikinis and perform a burlesque routine on stage.
The unease is palpable - a parent is heard loudly commenting: 'So much for being conservative'.
Christi's eyebrows adopt a default position halfway up her forehead. 'Those are crazy looking' she says, under her breath, as she watches the girls trying on their revealing ensembles.
Ms Miller, who has never been a professional dancer but has been teaching choreography since she was just 14, talks her young charges though the famously tittivating routine, instructing them to 'hide' behind then 'look' from the modesty of their hot pink fans.
Uncomfortable: The girls look worried at the thought of appearing naked on stage with only pink feathers to protect their modesty
Anxious: The indomitable Dance Moms are not happy with the idea of seeing their girls dance suggestively an in a state of apparent undress
Too young: Eight-year-old Mackenzie, wearing red, inspects her tiny tan bikini and turns to her mother and asks: 'How is this gonna fit me?'
It's not just the routine that is inappropriate. Even the girls see that their skimpy outfits are uncomfortably revealing.
'How's this going to fit me?' says Mackenzie. 'I can fit this on my American doll.'
The fierce dance madam apparently sees no insensitivity on the misguided outfit choice, explaining that 'you give the allusion that you're nude underneath the fans... we all know you're wearing tan bras and tan pants.' The fans, she says, are for covering the body.
Not happy: Mackenzie says of her nude bikini top 'I can fit this on my American doll' and seems distressed by the idea of wearing it in public
'Everyone in in the industry knows the girls are completely covered and everything is harmless... These mothers need to stop questioning me. What I do works.'
Yet, despite the initial shock reactions and obvious anxiety caused by the inappropriate idea, the mothers do not successfully intervene.
I know what works: Fierce dance teacher Abby Lee Miller is determined the routine and outfits are above-board despite parents' unease
Wrong? Ms Miller, who has never been a professional dancer, is seen instructing the girls to act like 'I'm hot, I'm mean, you can't have me, you can't afford me'

Wrapping up most of Week 5 in the NFL, with the exception of an unremarkable Monday night matchup between the Jets and Falcons:

- Kansas City topped Tennessee 26-17 to put the Chiefs at 5-0 for their best start since 2003, when they won their first nine games. This win came despite blowing a 13-0 halftime lead.
- The New York Giants' 36-21 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles sent them to 0-5 and their worst start since the 1987 strike season when the NFL used replacement players for three games. The Giants have also given up at least 31 points in each of their first five games, tying an NFL record set by the Chicago Cardinals in 1954.
- Terrelle Pryor got the Raiders off to a fast start in the latest West Coast game in NFL history with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater on Oakland's first play from scrimmage in a 27-17 victory over San Diego.
- Cincinnati ended Tom Brady's streak of 52 consecutive games with a touchdown pass, beating previously undefeated New England 13-6. Brady had thrown a touchdown pass in 52 straight games, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind Drew Brees' 54-game streak. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since a 16-9 loss to the New York Jets on Sept. 20, 2009.
- Denver edged Dallas 51-48 to tie for the fourth-most points in a game in NFL history and tied for second-most since the 1970 merger as the teams combined for 1,039 yards of total offense in the second-highest scoring game in regulation since the merger, according to STATS. The Broncos have scored 230 points, the most through the first five games of a season in NFL history. They have won 16 consecutive regular-season games overall.
- The New Orleans Saints' 26-18 win over the Bears was their first win in Chicago since a 31-10 victory on Oct. 8, 2000.
- Indianapolis' Andrew Luck finished 16 of 29 for 229 yards with two touchdowns and picked up his ninth fourth-quarter comeback win in 21 career games, beating Seattle 34-28. Luck is 15-6 as a starter, the fastest quarterback drafted No. 1 overall since the 1970 merger to reach 15 wins.
Denver, Kansas City and New Orleans all improved to 5-0, the only remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. New England and Seattle fell from the ranks of the unbeaten with losses. Since 1990, when the league's 12-team playoff format was adopted, 36 of the 40 previous teams to start 5-0 made the playoffs.
Peyton Manning broke the record for TD passes through five games with his 19th on a 9-yard toss to Julius Thomas in the second quarter of Denver's 51-48 win at Dallas. Daunte Culpepper of Minnesota held the previous mark with 18 in 2004. He has 20 touchdown passes this season, and was finally intercepted for the first time the longest such streak to start a season in league history. With 414 yards, Manning has 61,371 career yards passing, and moved into second place on the NFL list ahead of Hall of Famer Dan Marino (61,361).
Replacing an injured Michael Vick late in the second quarter, Nick Foles led four scoring drives and threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes as Philadelphia defeated the New York Giants 36-12 and the Eagles ended a three-game skid. Vick, who ran for a team-high 79 yards and threw for another 105, left the game with a hamstring injury late in the second quarter after a 13-yard scramble. Coach Chip Kelly said after the game that Vick would have returned had Foles been hurt.
New Orleans' Jimmy Graham notched his fourth consecutive 100-yard game matching an NFL record for a tight end in the Saints' 26-18 victory at Chicago. Tony Gonzalez was the first to accomplish the streak in 2000, and Graham matched the surge in 2011.
The Bears' Alshon Jeffrey had 10 receptions for a franchise-record 218 yards, breaking Harlon Hill's mark of 214 at San Francisco on Oct. 31, 1954.
Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew had 70 yards on 17 carries in the Jaguars' 34-20 loss at St. Louis, becoming the third player in franchise history to top 10,000 yards.
Green Bay's Randall Cobb had a career-best 67-yard run in the Packers' 22-9 win over Detroit, joining Hall of Famer Gale Sayers as the only players in NFL history with runs and receptions of 60-plus yards, a 100-yard kickoff return and an 80-yard punt return in his first three seasons.
- Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews left the Packers' 22-9 win over Detroit after the third quarter with a thumb injury. Matthews sacked Matthew Stafford on the last play of the quarter on a third-and-9 at the 34 to push the Lions out of field-goal range. He jogged to the locker room with a trainer and did not return. The Packers also lost starting linebacker Brad Jones to a hamstring injury. His replacement, Robert Francois, later left the game with a torn Achilles.
- Lions star receiver Calvin Johnson didn't play against the Packers after he had been sidelined two days last week with a knee injury before participating in practice on a limited basis Friday. He had been listed as questionable.
- Jacksonville rookie offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, the No. 2 pick in the draft, will miss the rest of the season because of a broken right ankle. He was injured in the first quarter of a 34-20 loss to the Rams, and was taken off the field on a cart.
- San Diego lost running back Ryan Mathews to a concussion in the first half against Oakland.
"It just takes a snowflake to start an avalanche." St. Louis safety Matt Giordano, who had an 82-yard interception return for a TD that helped the Rams stop a three-game skid with a 34-20 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
"My wife told me, 'Bring Mama home three sacks.' It came down the stretch and it was time to get going." Baltimore's Terrell Suggs, who had three fourth-quarter sacks in the Ravens' 26-23 win at Miami.

Foran's focus is the Hanson Lake VMS Camp in east-central Saskatchewan, Canada. Our flagship property is the McIlvenna Bay deposit, where a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment was completed in November 2014.
The Hanson Lake Camp is an emerging base metal district similar to nearby Flin Flon and Snow Lake. The formation of clusters of massive sulphide deposits is a common characteristic of VMS belts worldwide, which make them attractive targets areas for exploration and development. Foran is focused on advancing and developing district scale mining operations in the Hanson Lake area with the large tonnage McIlvenna Bay deposit providing the centre of gravity to support construction of a central mill and concentrator. Exploration in the area continues to identify new exploration targets and enhance both historic satellite deposits and mineral occurrences which could provide future mill feed to an operation at McIlvenna Bay.
The Hanson Lake area is situated in a safe, stable jurisdiction. The region has excellent infrastructure, including highways and secondary roads, access to low-cost hydroelectric power and a railhead. The McIlvenna Bay deposit is a one hour drive from the well-established mining centre of Flin Flon.
Foran has a management team with a proven record of adding shareholder value and advancing projects to production. With 100% ownership of an emerging Canadian base metal camp, the Company is focused on advancing McIlvenna Bay and the Hanson Lake VMS Camp to production.
Foran's Hanson Lake Camp is an emerging base metal district similar to the nearby world-class Flin Flon and Snow Lake Camps.
Each of these camps contains a cluster of copper- and/or zinc-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. VMS mineralization in the Hanson Lake Camp includes the McIlvenna Bay and Bigstone deposits, as well as the recently discovered Thunder Zone.
The region has a long history of exploration and mining, with 2015 marking the centenary of the first discovery of VMS mineralization in the Flin Flon Camp.Learn More
Foran's McIlvenna Bay deposit is a large copper-zinc deposit with associated gold-silver.
The Company has recently completed a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the McIlvenna Bay deposit.
Key attributes are the large size, existing road access, proximity to infrastructure, clean, saleable concentrates, and a deposit geometry which could be amenable to cost-effective bulk underground mining methods.Learn More

In 2015 Foran conducted infill drilling on the Bigstone deposit, where past operators have outlined an historic copper-zinc mineral resource.
All holes drilled into the Bigstone deposit by Foran in 2015 intersected high-grade copper+/-zinc mineralization and the results of initial metallurgy completed in late 2015 were positive.
The Bigstone deposit has the potential to represent a source of high-grade feed to a central concentrator within the Hanson Lake Camp.Learn More
Drilling by Foran on a geophysical (DEEP-EM) anomaly between the McIlvenna Bay deposit and the historic Balsam deposit led to the discovery of the high-grade Thunder Zone in 2013. Additional drilling in 2015 confirmed and expanded this exciting new discovery.
Work to date has only begun to test the extents of the Thunder Zone, where high-grade zinc and copper intercepts indicate the potential to outline a new massive sulphide deposit on the Balsam Property, within 7 kilometres of the McIlvenna Bay deposit.Learn More
Target A is a large geophysical (DEEP-EM) anomaly identified by Foran in 2013. Both the size and geophysical response of Target A are similar to that of the McIlvenna Bay deposit.
Target A is a high-priority target for comprehensive drill testing.Learn More

Fatumina Said Abukar interviews young designer Chanel Elkayam as she shows her first collection 'La Sola Rosa' at London Fashion Week.
I met British designer Chanel Elkayam as she was headlining with her hotly anticipated collection 'La Sola Rosa' on the second day of London Fashion Week AW17. Despite only being 19 years old, Chanel Elkayam has already achieved a lot in her career, notably for being one of the youngest designers in history to showcase her work at Paris Fashion Week. Chanel Elkayam's first London collection was captivating; a beautiful blend of French-inspired couture with an oriental touch.
When asked what inspired her collection, she said: "The British poet and writer Vera Brittain inspired my collection because of her heart-breaking loss at the time of World War One. Her fiancé, Roland, gave her a rose on the last day he saw her at the train station. They never got married because unfortunately he was killed in the war."
"To me every outfit is a character that you put on. In the collection I tried to show strong emotions representing the sadness of the lost love. The collection is sensual but at the same time sad. I wanted my audience to feel something when they saw it". Her collection definitely embodied the concept of femininity and sophistication through the use of sensual fabrics and white and golden colours dominating the runway.
When speaking to Chanel herself I asked her who she would like to work with in the future: "I hope to be dressing the world's most iconic women one day and ultimately work for Dolce & Gabbana or Dior."
As a student at the prestigious Central Saint Martins, I asked her how she manages to balance her work with her studies: "When I started my clothing line I learnt to plan my days so that I could fit everything in, so that I wouldn't be missing out on education and at the same time I would be progressing with my brand."
What advice would she give to young designers aspiring to be in the same position? "When I first started I was very scared of failing but when you start, you get into it, and you just need to push yourself and keep trying. Mistakes are actually a good thing, my teachers at Central Saint Martins taught me that mistakes are a way to develop and through your mistakes you come up with new ideas."
Her collection also saw wide diversity, with models from different ethnicities gracing the runway. "My clothing line is suitable for all women and so I prove this in my shows by using a variety of models from different races. Each one of them were beautiful and perfect for my outfits. I choose my models by their characteristics, personality, and their professional suitability."
The runaway also featured international award winning fashion designer Daniel Hernandez presenting his bold and colourful collection and Helen Oro (Canada), who showcased a range of statement sunglasses inspired by her indigenous roots.
