What a fun weekend. I'm a firm believer that you should work hard, but also play hard. I think as adults, sometimes we forget that we need to have fun!
Friday night was spent at a Mary Kay party at my friend's apartment with her fun mom, who showed us all kinds of tips and tricks. I'm definitely going to be tweaking my make-up routine. Who knew lip liner was so effective?!
|Pretty lights at Shops at Legacy!
Since we were all dolled up, we decided to go out. My friend lives at the Shops at Legacy, so we walked over to Taco Diner for Tex-Mex and Mambo Taxis.
|Hot mamacitas!
I continued the fun with girlfriends on Saturday- shopping and mani/pedis!
Sunday was actually quite productive, as I had hoped it would be. Church and shopping (more on that later), followed by grocery shopping, baking delicious pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and cleaning the apartment. What more could I ask out of a weekend?!

Leafy wonders of spring foraging
The snow is gone and spring greens are popping up! Your body has been through a long, long winter with probably fewer fresh foods and less exercise than it would have liked. There is a beautiful synergy within the natural world which we are fully a part of; Mother Earth seems to know that our bodies need cleansing in the spring, so those first wild edibles that appear are perfect at doing just that for us. They are sometimes stronger flavoured and more bitter than the cultivated foods we are used to, but that is because they are more nutritionally dense. Wild foods are good to incorporate into our diets at any time of year – but the spring is especially important.
Dandelion, garlic mustard, chickweed, henbit, and violets can be found almost anywhere in Ontario in April and May. They can all be eaten raw mixed with other greens in a salad, or used as substitutes for spinach or other leafy greens in any cooked recipe. A quick search online will turn up several recipes specific to each one of these that will really bring out their individual flavours. Pick the new leafy greens and shoots when they are a few inches long and before they get too strongly flavoured and tough. Violet flowers and leaves can be eaten at any time. Start by introducing a small amount into your diet and increase it over a few weeks so your body can adjust, as chowing down on a whole salad of violets would have you running to the washroom pretty fast if that was its first taste of them! A good field guide and the internet can help you ensure proper identification.
Yes, all of the plants I mentioned, except violets, are considered weeds, but in other parts of the world they are spring delicacies. Dandelion was actually brought to the New World expressly as a food source and medicine by the pioneers. If you have a yard you will likely have at least one of these plants growing in it somewhere. If you live in an apartment or condominium I guarantee there will be a park or wild spaces not far from you with several of these species growing in it. And because they are 'weeds' you don't have to worry about overharvesting or getting in trouble for removing them from an area – in fact, it may be considered a favour. Garlic mustard has been deemed invasive in Canada so there are groups of native plant enthusiasts that gather to have garlic mustard removal days in communities across Ontario every spring to try and keep this opportunist in check. You could even tag along on one and invite everyone back to your place for pasta with garlic mustard pesto afterward. Pull the whole plant out, root and all, to help with eradication efforts. Don't worry, there will most likely be more to be found next year.
Foraging is the most popular of the workshops I teach on being more self-sufficient. It's a fun activity that the whole family (even the dog!) can partake in. My daughter was picking autumn olives with me at 1 year old in the fall and two of our dogs harvest raspberries and mulberries. You will get to know your community's wild spaces (or your backyard) more intimately, get some exercise and fresh air, and provide your body with some grade A food at no cost. So get those boots on, grab a basket for your loot, and get out there!Jessica Robertson operates her company, Wild Craft Permaculture, out of her home in London, Ontario. A new mom herself, she helps people grow healthy, low-maintenance food for themselves and their families by mimicking the patterns found in natural ecosystems. She believes in empowering people to be more self-reliant so that communities become more resilient.

New Tax Numbers For 2012. Good For All To Know. Income Tax Planning Report.
Things to Consider
A number of figures used in tax and retirement planning have been updated for 2012. Most limits for pension and IRA contributions have been increased slightly. For example:
The maximum contribution that can be made to a defined contribution plan in 2012 under Section 415 is the lesser of $50,000 or 100 percent of compensation-up from $49,000 in 2011.
The limit on employee elective deferrals to Section 401K and Section 403b plans has increased from $16,500 in 2011 to $17,000 for 2012. The limit for Section 457 plan salary reductions has likewise increased to $17,000.
The maximum elective deferral for a SIMPLE or 401 K SIMPLE plan has remained steady at $11,500 in 2012.
The limit on IRA contributions remains at $5,000 for 2012. Those 50 and older can still contribute an extra $1,000 under the special catch-up provision.
Here are a few of the income tax changes:
The standard deduction for joint filers and surviving spouses who do not itemize in 2012 is $11,900, up from $11,600 in 2011. For heads of household, the deduction is $8,700, and for unmarried individuals it's $5,950. The aged and the blind get an additional $1,150 or $1,450 added to their standard deductions, depending on their filing status.
The personal exemption amount has increased from $3,700 in 2011 to $3,800 in 2012.
The personal exemption phase-out and itemized deductions phase-out have still been eliminated for 2012 although as of right now they are scheduled to return in 2013.
And here are some other items that may be important to you.
The reduction of the social security tax rate for individuals to 5.65% has been extended for the first two months of 2012. The rate is scheduled to increase to 7.65% after that. The rate for employers remains at 7.65%. The rate for self-employed individuals has also been reduced-to 13.3%–for the first two months before it returns to 15.3% later this year. The taxable wage base for the OASDI portion is $110,100 in 2012. Any additional compensation over that limit is subject to only the Medicare portion of 1.45% for individuals, 2.9% for the self-employed.
In 2012, the federal annual gift tax exclusion amount has remained at $13,000. The lifetime gift tax exemption has increased to $5.12 million.
The federal estate tax exemption has been increased to $5.12 million for 2012, as has the generation skipping tax exemption.
These changes may affect your retirement plan, your income tax planning and your estate plan. I recommend you take time to review those plans in light of the new numbers.

Working together for stronger, healthier babies
On September 22nd, we were lucky enough to partner with March of Dimes and other signature chefs from Birmingham in support of the March of Dimes. Preterm birth poses one of the most serious health threats to mothers and their babies and overwhelms families with a large financial burden. According to an article written by Anna Claire Vollers, Alabama has the fourth highest rate of preterm births in the nation. The only states with a higher rate are Louisiana, Mississippi, and the territory of Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, the problem only gets worse in Alabama's big cities. The average preterm birth rate for Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile, and Montgomery is 13.5 – significantly higher than the state's rate of 11.7.
As the night began, it was obvious that the ballroom at the Grand Bohemian Hotel was at max capacity. Sixteen chefs representing fourteen restaurants in the Birmingham area graciously donated their time and expertise. Our own Executive Chef, Pat Horn, prepared a dish that was masterfully refined. Sourcing his pork from Niman Ranch, he slowly cooked the meat until tender enough to shred and form into the rillette. For a full set of instructions on how you can do this at home, please click here.
Using benne seed crackers made from scratch at Satterfield's, Chef Pat finished off this delectable dish with a bread and butter pickle. Throughout the evening, guests streamed past tables tasting the various offerings, One thing remained constant, however. They kept coming back to Chef Pat.

Bhateja's Request
At the Marina Beach, almost stepped on it, looked so much part of the sand.
At Mahabalipuram, this is an example of evolution in action, the dog merges in with the surroundings so well.
At the MGM beach resorts, this was something akin to the bird of paradise, no need for disguise. Only attraction.

Dogs Paradise (street dogs org)
As I sleep through the night at marina beech
I take a look at my life and realise there's not much left
Cause I've been barking and barking so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you taking your shots, and where you walking
You know dogs have a way of finding their way
Tell me why are humans are so blind to see
That the ones you hurt are me and my folks.
Tell me why are you so blind to see
That you are invading my privacy
I been spending most my life living in the dog's paradise
I am nothing but a street dog in diguise
Look at the situation, you got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
I tried to look like a Camouflage so I can escape the man's eye
I guess it didn't work out so well,
Even Evolution didn't show any mercy on us.
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say
I'm 10 now but will I live to see 11
The way things is going I don't know
But you don't wanna know these things
You just wanna a shot.
I been spending most my life living in the dog's paradise
I am nothing but a street dog in diguise

GEORGE CLOONEY is a master in the art of deflecting prying personal questions with a wry joke.
Ask him about his seemingly permanent bachelor status and, without skipping a beat, the 48-year-old announces: "I'm going to get married tonight... at some point."
Since he first graced our screens in ER back in 1994, Clooney's been deftly fielding questions about his latest love interest.
So skilled is he now at the comic backhander that even the most innocuous of questions is likely to merit a joke response.
Take, for example, his latest film offering, the intriguingly-titled The Men Who Stare At Goats, a black comedy set in Iraq, which is the second comic-take-on-war film for Clooney after 1999's Three Kings.
"I have done a couple of war satire films, Batman And Robin, obviously being the first. Just wearing a rubber suit with nipples on it is a battle," he says, barely suppressing a laugh.
On working with Ewan McGregor in the film, he deadpans: "After the restraining order, it was really quite hard to actually work with him."
Joking aside, "Gorgeous George" is enjoying a lengthy spell in the UK spotlight thanks to the fact that his three latest films have all been shown at the London Film Festival.
The first of these films, Wes Anderson's motion-capture adaptation of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox, sees George in the title role – with Meryl Streep as Mrs Fox.
Up In The Air, released in January, is a romantic comedy about a businessman with a penchant for expensive business trips, and The Men Who Stare At Goats does what it says on the proverbial tin.
Inspired by journalist Jon Ronson's non-fictional best-seller, the film follows a reporter (McGregor) who discovers a top-secret experimental wing of the US military - the New Earth Army – a legion of Jedi-style warriors rumoured to have psychic powers, and the ability to kill a goat just by staring at it.
Despite the film's stellar cast – Kevin Spacey plays Cassady's nemesis – everyone just wants to talk about the goats.
"I tell you, this goat was a particularly nice goat. We spent a long time together," George jokes.
"The funny thing is, the goat was a great actor. He walked in and we were like, 'OK, stare at the camera' and he was like, 'Yuhh'. If I could get Ewan to do that it would help."
George was born to a beauty queen mother and news presenter father, and grew up in a small town in Kentucky. When he was 21, he moved to Los Angeles and spent a decade as a struggling actor, with roles in TV pilots that never became full series. Then came his big break in ER.
Fifteen years on, and with his work at the latest film festival over, George is currently in Italy – he has a villa on Lake Como – making another movie with co-producer Grant Heslov, a hitman story called The American.
Come January, Clooney is bound to be among the names touted for awards glory. As for his future projects, George is back to his joking best.
"No more farm animals and no more children, that's my new motto."

Sergeant "Sarge" Steel
Written by John Censullo
Sarge Steel #1 (December 1964) • "File #101 the Case of the 'Pearls of Death'"
Lin Ying hires private detective Sarge Steel to find her fathe r, Charles Ying, who was carrying 57 matched pearls to Ivan Chung's office. Her fathe r had not met Chung, but was offered a large sum of money by Chung for the pearls. Steel tells Lin that Ivan Chung is a terrorist that is very active in Saigon. As theydrive to a Brooklyn waterfront in Steel's specially built XK-150 Jaguar to search for her fathe r, Lin asks the detective about his metallic left hand. He explains that he lost it in Saigon, and wouldn't be surprised if Chung was at least partially responsible for it. In one of the warehouses, theyfind evidence that Lin's fathe r had been the re. Shortly the reafter, Steel and Lin are captured by Chung and taken out to sea. As Steel hovers on the verge of unconsciousness, he thinks back to when he first encountered Chung.
Capt. Sergeant Steel was in the Special Forces, assigned to Army Intelligence. He was working closely with the CIA operatives in Saigon where the Vietnamese government was desperately striving to contain the terrorists who were turning that eastern metropolis into a shambles. Chung was half Chinese Tong and half Russian saboteur. Capt. Steel and Yo Chang, an associate who knew the jungle, chased Chung into the jungle. theyfought the ir way through Viet-Cong soldiers, and found Chung inside a hut. As Steel led his captive to his vehicle, Chung pleaded with him. Chung claimed he would be executed, but Steel declined Chung's bribes. After he turned his prisoner over to the authorities, Steel was warned that the entire anti-American organization had given orders to kill him. As he prepared for a date later that night, Steel was attacked by an assassin, but his training enabled him to easily overcome his attacker. Later, as he danced with his date, a grenade was lobbed into the room. He grabbed the grenade and attempted to through it back outside, but it was coated with a sticky substance that prevented him from getting rid of it. Thinking quickly, he thrust his arm out the window. the blast obliterated his hand, but he and his date survived. Ivan Chung vanished from his Saigon cell, later reappearing in a New York office where he called himself an importer and headed the firm known as Eurasian Trade Associates Inc.
Steel wakes up and Chung makes him and Lin an offer. If Lin tells Steel where she or her fathe r hid the pearls, and Steel can arrange for the m to be delivered to Chung, the n he will let the three of the m live. After Chung leaves the cabin, Lin tells Steel that the pearls are sewn into her largest valise, which is back in her hotel room. Chung listens to the conversation through a hidden microphone, and orders one of his men to retrieve the pearls. However, back in Steel's office, his secretary Bessie Forbes speaks with a CIA operative, having called the m after remembering Steel's past encounter with Ivan Chung. One CIA operative is assigned to watch the Ying's hotel room. He captures Chung's thug when he breaks into the room. the man confesses his instructions to the agent. Meanwhile, Steel tricks Chung and is able to knock him out and grab his gun. Steel takes control of the boat and heads back to New York.

Running with Sabina, refreshing first snow and a beautiful sun :)
Presents ! Money is not in the photos :) And look at the little Bambi creatures!! :) I just love them... I´m actually obsessed with them... :D
The "riding boots" made of real leather ! I absolutely love them!
I´m a true animal lover. I´m kinda obsessed with dears, dogs, cats, horses, hedgehogs... Just name it. I´m really happy to get that pillow sheet from Marimekko ( I actually jumped on my bed...) , that Moomin thermos for the long school and work days and that Paola Suhonen's cat's-eye to protect me from being a dear in the spotlight. :) All in all I´m really pleased for the effort my family members did for me.
I felt like a real horse girl too... (ok I was one when I was younger...) and fell in love with these boots. After walking in them for 9km's on snow and ice I couldn´t be more satisfied with myself. More than 100 euros less on my bank account but it´s definitely a sum worth my legs.
I´m having an exam of Immunology tomorrow. My day is going to be actually really long... Nutrition from 8am to 3pm, and the exam after that + a promoting instruction for one hour on the evening. I know- it will be a really hectic day and my stomach will be loud... I don´t have time to go to the lunch so I think I have to satisfy with apples I bought earlier... How fun is that? :/ Damn.

(PRWEB) May 18, 2007 — While the recent sale of the Chrysler Group has provided a new direction for Detroit's "Big Three" automakers, a study of the U.S. automotive landscape shows a continued negative outlook for the troubled industry.
In a study entitled "The Challenges of the Global Restructuring of the Automotive Industry," economic and business experts of global trade credit insurer and accounts receivable management partner Euler Hermes reviewed the industry's current status and outlook. According to the study, the volume declines observed in the United States demand an adaptation that will require restructurings. Globally, the move toward new consumption regions is under way, intensified by wage differentials that explain the radical reshuffling that is taking place among production regions.
The study shows that the American product line is out of sync with local demand, causing a loss of market share to Japanese automakers. In 2007, the market share of the American automakers could drop to 50%, down from 59% in 2004. The source of their difficulties is not a collapse in new car registrations, but declining market share on their own continent due to an ill-adapted product range. In four years, they will have lost nearly 10 percentage points to the Japanese automakers. According to the Euler Hermes Research Department, "Before they can offer models that align with demand, the American automakers will have no other choice than to restructure their largely oversized production tool. With volumes sold continuing to slide, 2007 will again be a loss-making year in general. On the American continent, GM hopes to be back in the black in 2008 and Ford in 2009."
Meanwhile, due to the loss of market share, American equipment manufacturers are barely staying afloat and have been in crisis since 2003. A net margin of between 0 and 0.7% is not enough to capitalize on opportunities in the new growth regions (China and India). As a result, they are losing market share to their competitors. In the American automotive industry (car makers and equipment vendors), the Euler Hermes Research Department is seeing a loss of 300,000 jobs between 2000 and 2006. After a relative return to stability in labor force numbers between 2002 and 2004, the United States is seeing a new restructuring plan (2006-2009) that will affect 285,000 jobs.
In addition, the recent rise in gasoline prices marks another challenge for the U.S. automotive industry, said Euler Hermes ACI Risk VP-Industry Manager Tony Clary. "As we have seen in the past, an increase in gas prices can have a rapid effect on buying habits, so the long period of stability the OEMs were hoping for to help generate interest in the profitable SUV and truck segments once again is obviously not coming to fruition," he said.
And finally, the weakening national economy is hurting the automakers two-fold: through increased costs of doing business and faltering consumer spending. "A key issue with the automotive industry is that unit labor costs are continuing to rise, but auto makers cannot raise prices because of increased competition," said Euler Hermes ACI Chief Economist Daniel C. North. "That means profit margins are being squeezed even tighter than in the past, which is hurting everyone down the supply chain." Also, the U.S. automakers' reliance on consumer spending will cause continued tougher times as the nation's housing market equity — a major source of fuel for consumer spending in the past — continues to fall. "A faltering consumer will surely lead to a faltering economy, causing business defaults to rise and credit conditions to deteriorate," North concluded

Website: http://www.hylin.com.au/
Hylin is a rustic modern cafe located in the more industrial area of Leederville. They serve American style dishes, along with a few spanish influences. We would like to warn you that the cafe space is quite small and there definitely will be a 30+ min wait during the weekends, so probably best to try Hylin out during the week. We didn't mind so much waiting for a table and our food however on the day it was extremely windy and the cafe had all its windows open, I know all the girls reading this will understand the struggle of trying to eat while your hair is getting stuck in your lipgloss!
Chai Latte ($4.50)
We understand that Hylin is more of a self-serve style cafe, but we feel their service was not quite up to scratch on this particular day. After we had been seated, we weren't even given tap water until we asked for it when we were served with the chai lattes. On another note, the chai lattes were lovely and smooth, we could tell they were brewed properly with chai tea, rather than powder or syrup.
Spanish Beans ($16.50)
This dish was a spanish twist on your average baked beans and eggs. The medley of beans, chorizo, capsicum and tomato was a delicious combination. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and once we cut into the yolk, it seeped into the beans which made it beautiful and creamy. We also loved that it was served with crusty bread perfect for dunking, we give it a rating of 8/10.
Smashed Avocado & Eggs ($15.50)
We've seen this dish quite frequently all over Instagram, so we had to try it! As you can seen from the amazing picture above, the eggs were perfectly poached with a gooey yolk. Avocado and eggs on toast is such a classic, you can never go wrong with this combination. The only negative comment we have to say about this dish is that it was a little plain, we feel that there could've been more creativity put into this classic. Perhaps a bit of cream cheese and spice added to the avocado would've done the trick. It was good but not great, so we rate this dish 6.5/10.
Overall Review
We know that Hylin is very hyped up, however we did not feel it lived up to the expectations. The food was good quality but it didn't blow us away and the service could be improved. The highlight of our experience was the Spanish Beans and the low light was getting mouthfuls of hair due to heavy wind flowing through the whole cafe. We would've really loved to give Hylin a good review but on this occasion it disappointed us, we rate it 6.5/10.

I have created an application where people must include multiple attachments with the application. What do I need to do so that everything applications and the attachments are combined into 1 PDF file? It would make everything so much easier.
Thanks for your help

Can't afford a Picasso? How about owning a piece of one?
As the prices of major artworks zoom, niche money managers are developing 'art funds' with the hope that their underlying works of art — and shares — will appreciate in value.world Updated: Jan 11, 2011 21:18 IST
As the prices of major artworks zoom, niche money managers are developing 'art funds' with the hope that their underlying works of art — and shares — will appreciate in value.
And art experts are nervous as these funds bear similarities to asset-backed securities and derivatives that got such a bad name in the financial crisis.
Last year, auctions set records. Bidders paid $106.5 million for a Picasso, $104.3 million for a Giacometti, $89.5 million for a Qianlong vase and $11.5 million for a rare Audubon book.
Financial firms are looking to capitalise on that interest, and claim returns can run as high 20%.
The field, with $300 million in assets, is small but growing. In Paris, the Art Exchange has plans to publicly list at least six pieces and sell shares to investors. The Russian asset management firm Leader — controlled by close associates of Vladimir V. Putin — created two art-related investments. Last summer, Russia passed regulations to allow art to be turned into securities, the second to do so after India.
The idea is simple: a few big investors put up money to help a money manager buy paintings. Smaller investors buy ownership units, whose values are tied to the underlying art. For the privilege, they pay fees.
When investors want to cash out, they have to trade the stakes — just as early owners of Facebook have sold some shares on secondary exchanges.
The idea could spread beyond high net-worth individuals with an appetite for risk. A case in point: art research firm Skate's recently offered an iPad application for art enthusiasts to research their favorite pieces.

For one reason or the other, you can find yourself in a difficult situation where you have to fill for a sexual harassment lawsuit, and when this is the case, it is necessary that you consult a sexual harassment lawyer immediately. You can start by consulting with your human resource department when you believe that you have been harassed, but this can work hand in hand and so call an attorney for the right guidelines. This is important so that if the human resource does not respond appropriately, and the situation continues to escalate, you will be ready and prepared to take it to the next level. There are different kinds of sexual harassment, and this can affect both men and women. View
These sexual harassment cases can be as a result of a hostile environment, and take for example when you have to give in to sexual favors and in exchange, you are promised to benefit. Take for example where you have to give in to sexual favors so that you can be hired or be promoted. When you end up in such a situation and regardless of whether the victim gives in or not he or she can sue. The other employees who are also aware, or are in the same situation can also sue, and this is because the sexual favoritism is totally against the law.
A hostile environment is the one that the employee feels uncomfortable as a result of the word or the actions of the employer being the boss or even the co-worker, and these cases are normally sexual. Any jokes or comments of sexual nature that is offensive can make the employee feel offended, and in this case, they can sue for sexual harassment claims. The offensive comments or even actions which reflect on an employee sexual orientation, race, religion, and gender are considered to be creating a hostile environment, and the offended employee can sue. View
When you consult your lawyer in addition to informing the human resource department, it is important that the situation is documented. It is wise to keep track of all the times and the details of where and when this event happened, and have any copies of emails or any images. This will be helpful when your case is being represented and will help the sexual harassment lawyer determine whether you have a legal case. The lawyer will also be able to know whether any other illegal acts of discrimination have taken place as a result of the sexual harassment. This will make the case more strong and make you eligible for more additional settlements.ents the description field.

Kara Wilson is a 6th-12th grade English and Drama teacher. She has a B.A. in Literature and an M.Ed, both of which she earned from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Indirect characterization is the process by which the writer shows the character's personality through speech, actions and appearance. When you watch a movie or television show, you can usually gather what type of person the main character is based on the character's actions and reactions in different situations. There isn't a label on the screen that necessarily says 'angelic, gullible teen' or 'selfish, arrogant villain.' Instead, you have to watch and listen to that person to notice how the character's personality is revealed through the story. By doing so, you are seeing how indirect characterization is being used on the screen. This also occurs in many novels and short stories. Instead of watching the character, you imagine the character in your head as you read descriptions of the actions and dialogue.
Indirect characterization should not be confused with direct characterization, which is when the reader or audience is told what the character's personality is. The well-known phrase 'show, don't tell' can apply to indirect vs. direct characterization. Indirect characterization shows who a character is based on what he/she does and says, while direct characterization tells the reader or audience exactly what type of person that character is.
Read the following excerpt from 'Rip Van Winkle' by Washington Irving: 'He was a simple, good-natured man; he was moreover a kind neighbor and an obedient, henpecked husband.' This description directly tells the reader about this man's personality using words like simple, good-natured, kind and obedient. There is nothing left for you to infer or conclude on your own. Therefore, this excerpt is an example of direct characterization. If Irving were to use indirect characterization in this description, perhaps he would've described a scene in which the man was calmly helping some rambunctious children cross the street or happily strolling through town, waving at people of all ages. The reader would then have to conclude that he was a kind, good-natured man without the writer ever having told him/her so.
To remember the five methods of indirect characterization, think of the word STEAL. It stands for the five methods:
If a mother calmly tells her son it's time for bed and he responds by saying, 'No, I don't have to do what you say! I'm staying up all night!' then we can infer that this young boy is angry, obstinate and may have authority issues. The author is not telling us directly what type of personality the boy has; instead, we must decide this based on the author's use of speech.
In the short story 'The Scarlet Ibis' by James Hurst, there are many examples of indirect characterization. In the following excerpt, speech and actions are being used to show two characters' personalities: 'I jumped up, knocking over my chair, and had reached the door when Mama called, 'Pick up that chair, sit down again, and say excuse me'.' This tells us a bit about both Mama and the narrator. In this scene, the narrator is quick to avoid a confrontation with his mother and is perhaps a bit clumsy, but he does have enough respect for her to listen to her as she firmly tells him what to do, asserting her authority over him by being direct.
In Willa Cather's novel My Antonia, the method of using 'looks' plays a key part when it comes to Cather's use of indirect characterization. Antonia's appearance is described in detail. She is said to have eyes that are big and warm and full of light, like the sun shining on brown pools in the wood, and her hair is curly and wild-looking. When she grows up and starts working in the fields, she's described as muscular and tan. Therefore, her image connects to her situation in life and shows how her appearance reflects her actions. She goes from being a beautiful young girl living on the Great Plains, to a strong woman who has been toughened up by life.
William Golding uses indirect characterization to reveal Jack's personality in his novel Lord of the Flies. The boys hold an election, and at first, no one votes for Jack. This is surprising, since the choir is comprised of his followers. But then finally, things change: with dreary obedience the choir raised their hands. They know the way Jack leads, so they don't want him to lead them anymore. But they are too intimidated by him to vote for Ralph, Jack's opponent. By seeing the way they act and react in this situation, we are better able to understand Jack's personality without Golding directly telling us.
Author Ernest Hemingway once said, 'Show the readers everything, tell them nothing.' This quote can easily be applied to indirect characterization. By showing readers or an audience what type of personality a character has through speech, thoughts, effect on others, actions and looks (STEAL), a vivid picture of that person is painted without the author directly telling you what type of person the character is.
We are able to decide for ourselves as we watch and listen (whether in our minds or on the big screen). Indirect characterization is the process by which the writer shows the character's personality through speech, actions and appearance. This writing style can keep us captivated by a character's every move, leaving us eager to see what he/she will say or do next.

I Wrote This For You
by pleasefindthis
( Goodreads | Book Depository )
Goodreads rating : 4.19
My rating :
I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn't get it. They may think they get it, but they don't. This is the sign you've been looking for. You were meant to read these words.
I did not expect a lot of amazing things at first. I mean look at the cover! For me, the cover is an awful and horrible way in giving the readers' first impression. I was affected too.
But the first word of the poetry , I am done!
It started with the author wrote a letter to the readers, or more specific to you. You will know why after you read this excerpt..
" Dear You,
You are holding in your hands what was promised to you years ago. I'm sorry it took so long. But life, as is so often the case, is life and we forget about the promises we've made.
You, however, are harder to forget.
I know the world is crazy. I know love is not always the way it's meant to be. I know sometimes, things hurt. But I also know that we'll get through this. That our hearts will arrive on the other side, in one piece. That everything is beautiful, if we give it the chance to be.
I've tried to write down what I saw and what you told me and I sincerely don't think I missed anything. Let me know if I have.at
I love you. I miss you.
Me "
I feel something ...in the words. The letter just makes me special and unique out of all people. Because it reminds me that I am not alone in this world, like theres's actually someone out there who cares and loves me the way I am. The words are just written officially for me, not for anyone else, I am the one who have this, I am the only one who ever read this. It feels good and soothing at the same time, and how much the warmness and affcetion flowing into me.
For just a moment, I am not pretending like I am alone, because I am not alone. Although some of the words are just did not make sense to me, it doesn't matter at all. I was surprised by how much I love reading the poetries, like I am in love, then break up then in love all over again. The feelings never get bored, plain and flat, it feels alive.
Have you ever feel that there's something buried inside you, but yet you don't know how to express it, letting it out, and push it all out of your mind. I Wrote This For You just somehow manage to wrap up all of your things, put them in words, arrange in pharagraph , accompany with pictures in a book. It's like a book of emotion. Your emotion that you don't know how to reflect.
There's time I wanted to be in the writer position and discovering what was the writer had been experiencing throughout his life. I was envy by how talented he was in sprawling his reflection all over the pages.
This must be a reread book. I don't reread book but this is an exception I have to make. Because it is perfection that completely attached to my heart.
I will reread this book over and over again and not getting tired of it. This is what you need when you wanna feel being love again. That's I am sure. Because I have gone through it.

During last week WhatsApp premiered Live Locations , the function that allowed us to send our location in real time to our contacts. Well, not a week has been needed to implement another feature, this time as desired is the possibility of deleting sent messages. And is that, who has not sent a message by mistake in the chat that was not or has written something that later has repented?
If you do not have very clear how this function works on iPhone, in this post we explain a detailed tutorial . However, it is a function that has its premises to work properly and also has not yet been implemented in all countries, much less all devices.
What should you know about deleting a message on WhatsApp?
First of all, you have two options: delete a message for all or delete a message for you . In the first case, you can delete a specific message that will also be deleted in the recipient's chat, while in the second case, it will only delete the message on your mobile. In fact, for the second one you do not even require internet and it has been implemented for a long time in WhatsApp.
But it is not the only condition : you can only delete a message for everyone if it has been sent less than 7 minutes ago. That is, you do not have all the time in the world, although most errors will be fixed in time. After that 7 minutes, you can only delete the message for you, come on, it will not help.
Also, it is not that it is a delete in ninja mode : every time you delete a message, it will be replaced by another one that says "This message was deleted". So they will not see the content, but they will know that there has been something.
Remember that the function to delete messages works for text, GIFs, photos, voice notes and appointments ... come on, for absolutely everything you send through a WhatsApp chat.
Finally, to be able to apply "Delete messages for all" it is required to have the latest update of WhatsApp installed in your device and that your recipients have it, otherwise it will not work.
