Halah Hamrani: The Saudi boxing instructor teaching women to 'Fight Like a Girl'
Halah Al Hamrani is a Saudi martial arts instructor and owner of the FLAG (Fight Like a Girl) Boxing gym in Jeddah. A pioneer in the emerging Saudi women's fitness industry, Halah teaches women to challenge themselves and push their limits.
Women in Saudi Arabia have typically been discouraged from sports, but as the country starts to open itself up to the outside world and modernising forces are at work in Saudi society, all that is starting to change – Halah is at the forefront of that movement.
In honour of International Women's Day, we sat down with Halah to find out how she made it to where she is today, her thoughts on the social changes sweeping her country, and what inspires her to keep pushing boundaries.
"It all started with my love for martial arts, which began when I was twelve. I studied many different styles starting with karate and then going into Muy Thai and kickboxing when I went to the US to study in San Diego. But when I came back to Saudi Arabia, I realised that there was nothing available within sports for women – in fact, it wasn't huge for men, either.
It was my mother who gave me the idea. She suggested I start teaching, since I was struggling to find a job in the field that I studied – Environmental Studies. I started teaching classes in my parents house, reaching people only through word of mouth – it was before the era of social media! Fast forward to around three years ago, and my Dad told me I needed to find my own space because I'd been using their house for too long, and that's where FLAG Boxing came in!
I was adamant that I didn't want to get onto social media, but my sister persuaded me to. When I started out on Instagram, I was recovering from a miscarriage and was in a really bad place. I decided to document my process of getting back into shape, and how I was using sports and training to make myself feel better. It was such a personal journey for me and I didn't really think about the effect it would have on people.
But it really resonated with people and I started to get a lot of attention, and that's when I started to realise the impact I could have – especially on Saudi women. I realised that it isn't normal to see a Saudi woman practicing martial arts, and it's certainly not normal for her to put it out there in the public domain so people can see. It's great that my journey has inspired people, although that was never my intention to begin with. My passion for the sport is what fuels me, and I'm so happy to have that.
Things really took off when National Geographic came to interview me for their piece on 'The Changing Face of Saudi Women', although I was really naïve and had no idea it was going to be so big!"
Halah has since appeared in major media outlets around the world and, not only has she inspired Saudi women to take care of their bodies, but she has unintentionally become an icon of women's empowerment in her country and around the world. What she has achieved is especially remarkable given that she lives in a country where the fitness industry is very new.
We asked her what it's been like leading this new movement, and what opportunities and challenges the rapid growth of the health and fitness industry presents for Saudi women:
"The fitness industry in Saudi has grown ridiculously quickly over the last three years. For the eleven years prior that I was teaching, there was nothing. We weren't even allowed to open facilities for women, so not much was happening and anything that did take place was in the private sphere. The government has become very supportive of the industry – they're trying to promote it as much as possible and bring sports events to the country, for example, last year we had the Mohammed Ali Cup, the MMA, football… And women are allowed to participate now, not just men.
Of course, I worry that the momentum might be too much, that it's all happening too fast and it might meet resistance. It would be very hard for us mentally to go from this position, where there's so much excitement and optimism, if it suddenly came to a halt – but that's always a possibility in this country.
There has been some pushback, but not as much as you might imagine. I think the fact that 70% of the population is under the age of 30 works in our favour, because they really want to move forward. So as long as the government continues as it is and the King continues with the changes that he wants to see happening, I think we're in a good place, inshallah.
One of the challenges is that people live quite a sedentary lifestyle here, and this is becoming worse thanks to social media and the internet. I see this first-hand as an instructor: it's difficult to teach people who have never worked out in their lives and don't have that muscle memory. This is particularly the case for Saudi women, as the only women who have ever practiced any kind of sport are those who went to private schools or spent time abroad. This is only a small percentage of the population, and even then, in most cases it hasn't been sustained. So it's hard for people, often they don't move very easily and it takes a long time to train them.
It's also a cultural thing: because everyone drives here the sedentary lifestyle has become the norm. But even that is starting to change now; people are out walking, here in Jeddah there is a running group, and you have women who are really trying to change those social norms."
Not coincidentally, the rapid growth of the fitness industry has happened alongside major social changes taking place in Saudi society, as the government seeks to open the country to the outside world and create new opportunities for Saudi citizens – particularly women.
We asked Halah how she feels about the social changes taking place, and how she responds to the stereotypes of Saudi women that often prevail in the Western media.
"There are huge changes happening for women in Saudi at the moment. For example, lifting the driving ban has completely changed my life! It's not only given us physical freedom but economic freedom as well, as it's lifted a huge barrier for women to work. I actually still have my driver because I don't want to fire him, but he doesn't really do anything now so I joke with him that he should be training in the gym!
I think the biggest challenge facing Saudi women now is realising mentally what they can accomplish and having the confidence to do it. Opportunities are opening up, everything is there and available for women now, but the hardest thing is changing how they think, and getting them to make the move towards doing whatever they want to do.
There are still frustrating stereotypes of Saudi women in the media internationally, although I do understand where this comes from; Very few foreign journalists were allowed into the country before the current King took over, so they had no idea what Saudi women were really like. So I can understand why these stereotypes exist, but it bothers me when journalists come to the country with these stereotypes in mind and don't actually want to learn the truth about how we really live. We are not oppressed; we may live within our means and within the expectations of our government, but we are still strong and empowered. Often journalists aren't interested in hearing that because it's not going to make a good story, so they end up repeating the same stereotypes and reinforcing what people in other countries think they know about us.
Social change takes time, and even the most liberal countries are still moving towards gender equality and fighting those battles. I think the most important thing – and something we don't see enough of anywhere in the world – is that women continue to support and lift each other up every day. We all have our own struggles, and instead of competing we should support one another."
Halah's story of fearless boundary pushing and creating her own success is hugely inspiring for women, not only in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, but around the world. When we asked her about her own role models, her answer was surprising.
"The women I teach in the gym! Especially the ones who work really hard – I've done sports all my life so it comes naturally to me. But for these women it doesn't, they haven't developed the mentality that goes along with the practice. You have to know how to push yourself, when to push yourself – and it's not something you develop right away, it happens over many years. And these women are trying to develop that without those years of practice.
When someone puts themselves in a situation where they're working beyond what they're comfortable with, that is a true inspiration to me. That's why I love my job so much, because these women – the ones who really want to try and to work hard – they're incredible. So I would say they are my number one inspiration, which is great because I get them on a daily basis!"
Having accomplished what many Saudis just a few years ago would have thought impossible, we asked Halah what advice she would give her younger self?
"It gets better. When I was young I had a hard time because I had ADD, so I suffered a lot in school and always thought of myself as a stupid kid because nobody really understood what it was at the time. So they would point at me like, 'Oh, she's the naughty kid, she doesn't study…' In fact, that's actually why I gravitated toward sports, because I was able to excel in it. I needed it to feel good about myself because without it I constantly felt like a failure. So I would tell myself, 'Don't worry, you're going to be okay'. Because so much of the time I thought I wasn't."
And what's next for Halah and FLAG Boxing…?
"One of my goals at the moment is to go to some of the more remote cities in Saudi to give boxing and self-defence classes to women and promote women's empowerment. That's one of the many things on my list.
When I started teaching my goal was to spread the sport, to get women active and moving, and that turned into a goal to get girls into competitions. We need to be working with the younger generation to help them build up their skills. It's a long process and it won't happen overnight. We can bring in new competitions – and we are – but developing incredible athletes will take years. It's a generational thing and we have to start with the youngest.
We have just started a programme for kids, but we need more people and more coaches. It's a challenge; on the one hand, we're going through a stage as a country where we're trying to get more Saudis into the workforce, but that can be difficult when you're recruiting coaches, because you need people who have trained their whole lives, and because it's such a new thing in our country we just don't have that. So for now, we need to recruit coaches from abroad.
I'm also working with a friend in Bahrain to put together a self-defence programme for women, which I'm really excited about. For a lot of women in this country, the main reason for their interest in boxing is self-defence, for whatever reason. This is something I've wanted to do for fifteen years and I've finally found the right person to work with. We're hoping to launch it within the year, inshallah.
So I'm excited and I'm happy to get up in the morning. I know I have a lot of things I want to accomplish, and that's my driving force!"
We can't wait to see what's next for Halah as she continues to push for women's empowerment and inspire women worldwide to test their limits and see what they're capable of. To keep up with her inspiring work, follow @flagboxing on Instagram.

If I need to make 8 of something, but all the same except different sizes, can I post one each day? I'll be making them this week!
Sure! Each individual make is considered an entry into the contest. As long as they've all been made within the timeframe of required entires, share away!
hahahahahahaha "sew excited" THAT IS PERFECT!!!!!!
Hi, thank you for offering such an awesome contest! I just have a quick couple of questions. Do we get entered per make or per pattern? If I make 10 boxer briefs, is that 10 entries or 1? If it is 10, do I need to post to social media 1 post per item or can I post once if they are all clearly shown? Is color blocking considered a hack? Thank you again for offering such great patterns and an amazing contest!
Per make. You can create and share as many items as you'd like during the timespan of the contest. One entry is counted per photo shared (of each new garment)…so if you made 10 things, you'd want to post them in 10 different posts to get credited for each. Yes, colorblocking is considered a hack. We are wanting to keep the patterns as true to the original state as possible, minus needing to grade between sizes, or adding applique or trim to them.
Hi, First of all I would like to congratulate you on your success, I am very new to P4P and am yet to buy and sew my first pattern, hopefully that will happen soon especially with the current sale happening. The upcoming competition is amazing, though too soon for me, and I wish all entrants good luck.
What I would like to ask is how can you guarantee that the garments made for the competition were actually made in the time frame specified (maybe some people have not read the rules properly as I read one comment from a lady saying she had just finished 2 garments but had not yet photographed them ready for the competition). Maybe I am mistaken and I have missed some information, if so I apologise, I am just curious about this as it doesn't involve me yet, but hopefully it will in future competitions.


Making more conscious and sustainable choices has been a huge priority of mine. If I am going to spend money on something, I want to be sure I am getting a great value, as well as think about the long term investment the purchase has not only on my wallet, but also the environment.
This pull towards more sustainable purchases is one of the big reasons I decided to finally pull the trigger on a pair of Rothy's. I am not exaggerating…I had been eyeing up Rothy's for about a year before I made a purchase. Usually, when buying something online that is a little pricer than I'd typically spend, I take time reading reviews, comparing options, and trying to gather as much info before I make a decision to buy. This was the case with Rothy's.
While I had heard first hand reviews ( I literally have stopped people in the grocery store if I noticed their Rothy's and asked their opinion…yes, I am that girl), I still needed to weigh my options and make sure I was making a smart purchase.
*I chose to purchase a pair of Rothy's on my own. You may opt to use use this link to receive $20 off your first pair of Rothy's. In return I will receive a Rothy's discount.
So what convinced me to buy a pair of Rothy's?
I decided to give Rothy's a try when I had to return a pair of boots from a popular shoe retailer. The sole's of these barely worn boots had began to split after less than a month of wearing them. Here, I thought I was getting a good deal on these "everyday" boots, hoping I would get a lot of wear out of them and the price was unbeatable. I was frustrated and disappointed. Not to mention, the wasteful process of making those boots only to have them go straight to the landfill after barely serving their purpose.
Because Rothy's are made of plastic and not leather or a synthetic leather like material like most flats, there is no break in period. If you've ever had to break in a pair of flats and experience those first few painful days, you know that this is huge! Your Rothy's will fit the same on day 1 to 1,000.
I am usually not a fan of wearing flats all day. All of my previous pairs would either pinch my feet, or loose their shape too quickly. With Rothy's, I feel like I'm walking on clouds (sustainable, durable clouds). I was able to comfortably wear my Rothy's running an all day marathon of errands. I never feel like my feet are unsupported or like one wrong step or scuff is going to ruin my shoes. I also never experienced the dreaded foot sweat. Because the shoes are made from woven plastic, I feel they have decent breathability. Yes, when I wear my Rothy's all day my shoe gets a little sweaty, but it's not the shoe causing the sweat like it is with many other flats.
I love how durable Rothy's are. The soles are more sturdy than previous pairs of flats, and being made from recycled plastic gives Rothy's the ability to bounce back. In the past, I would find my flats would loose shape if I wore them all day or even packed them in my suitcase for a trip. With Rothy's I can literally bend them in half and they will bounce right back to their original shape.
The durable plastic material also means you can wear Rothy's in any weather! This to me, added great value. Not having to save my stylish flats for a sunny day is a plus and makes me feel confident that I'm getting my money's worth out of these shoes.
Another huge bonus to investing in Rothy's…they're washable. You heard me right ladies…you can stick the entire shoe and insole in the washer and voila, you have yourself a brand new, clean pair. Rothy's even offers extra insoles on their website, giving you extra lifespan out of your shoes.
Nothing is worse than having to sacrifice comfort or durability for style. Rothy's combines comfort, durability and style seamlessly. With four styles to choose from and a variety of colors including limited time releases, the style selection was a tough one.
After stalking Rothy's for nearly a year on Instagram and Pinterest, I finally decided on the The Point. I felt The Point style perfectly combined my need for everyday wear with elevated style.
Once the style was selected, the great color debate ensued. I eventually opted for The Big Cat. For me, leopard print is a neutral. With the browns, blacks, and tans, I felt this print would go with a lot of my wardrobe, but also be that subtle statement I always like to throw in.
All in all I could not be happier with my Rothy's investment. It's hard to pick a favorite feature. Between the comfort, effortless style, and sustainable aspects of these long wear flats, the benefits to me are worth the price.
Want to try Rothy's for yourself?
Use this link to save $20 on your first pair of Rothy's.
If you take advantage of this discount, or have a favorite pair of Rothy's already, I would love to see how you style them! I am always looking for style inspo and love hearing feedback from others.

GSK announced today that it will freeze the prices of its vaccines for five years for developing countries that graduate from GAVI Alliance support.
GSK announced today that it will freeze the prices of its vaccines for five years for developing countries that graduate from GAVI Alliance support. By committing to offer GAVI Alliance prices for vaccines against pneumococcal disease, rotavirus and cervical cancer, GSK will support developing country governments as they transition to financing the full cost of their local vaccination programmes.
Speaking today at a European Commission/GAVI Alliance event in Brussels, Sir Andrew Witty, CEO of GSK paid tribute to the GAVI Alliance leadership and its partners including governments, donors, charities and vaccine manufacturers which together have enabled millions of children in the world's poorest countries to receive innovative, life-saving vaccines.
By 2020, 22 countries with growing economies will graduate from GAVI support. This process allows GAVI to focus resources on the poorest countries, while enabling governments to take increasing responsibility and ownership for vaccination programmes over time. GSK is the first company to commit to maintaining lowest prices for five years as countries take this step, enabling governments to plan for financing the full cost of their immunisation programmes.
GSK is one of the largest contributors of vaccines to the GAVI Alliance, supplying innovative vaccines, such as those for rotavirus, pneumococcal disease and cervical cancer, at significantly reduced prices to help accelerate access in developing countries. GSK has committed to provide more than 850 million vaccine doses that will help protect up to 300 million children and young girls in the developing world by 2024. GSK delivers over 2 million vaccines each day; over a year, 80% of our vaccine doses go to developing countries.
In July 2013, GSK committed to provide an additional 240 million doses of Synflorix to the GAVI Alliance for use in developing countries over the next ten years, helping protect up to 80 million more children from pneumococcal diseases such as meningitis and pneumonia. This is in addition to the 480 million doses of the vaccine that GSK has already committed to GAVI through the Advance Market Commitment framework.
GSK has made a commitment to GAVI to supply Cervarix as part of a long term programme to help protect girls against cervical cancer, which is a significant problem in developing countries.

I have received 2 invitations, and I have heard there is possibly a 3rd, to a close friends daughter's bridal showers. My daughter is also in the wedding and has received the same invitations. What is proper? I don't want to appear "cheap", but with the bridesmaids expenses added to the wedding gift, and now the showers I am feeling pinched. Can my daughter and I put both of our names on the gifts? One of the showers is a couples shower, to add insult to injury, so I feel obligated to buy his and her gifts. In addition to being in the wedding, is my daughter required to buy a gift? Sorry to be such a sour puss, but I am a little frustrated. Thanks for your advice.
You pose a great question and I certainly understand your frustrations. That is a whole lot of showers/weddings to attend. Many families are feeling the financial pinch as of late, so let's review some thoughts on this.
First of all, the bottom line is that you can only do what you can do financially. Regardless of the situation, you can only use what you have to make the best of these situations.
Secondly, there is nothing wrong with putting both of your names on the gift. Generally speaking, when people put their names on the gift, they will purchase something more expensive to give the appearance that you put your money together to purchase it. I know that seems counter-intuitive to what you are trying to accomplish...which leads me to the third point.
There are so many businesses that are competing for your money that it is easy to find great deals on presents for people. If you do some searching, you can find some great items at very low costs. Sure, there are always sales at local stores around you, or you can find businesses that are going out of business and they are liquidating everything.
Another option would be to shop online as much as possible. I have found so many great deals online that would make wonderful presents without breaking the bank. If you do some searching, you can give great gifts without it sucking the bank account dry.
I hope some of these thoughts are helpful so that you can make a little go a long way without feeling "cheap."

Christmas dinner and Noche Buena is not quite complete without lumpiang shanghai. Or at least that's the case for our family. There's something about the crunch of that first bite into the juicy goodness of lumpia that makes one delighted and unable to resist reaching out for one more roll.
Lumpia is probably not originally Filipino. I daresay it's a Chinese specialty (spring/egg rolls) but as can be expected of Filipinos, we've given it a unique Pinoy twist. This classic comes in different forms: lumpiang shanghai, lumpiang ubod, lumpiang sariwa and lumpiang hubad, to name a few. In the West, no Filipino gathering is ever without a tray of these crunchy goodies, ready to be dipped in sweet and sour sauce or ketchup as one sings a round of karaoke.
Preparing lumpia is quite easy but the rolling part requires time or a lot of hands. I hope you enjoy this recipe for lumpiang shanghai I copied from my Mom who doesn't tire of cooking lumpia every time there's a celebration and even when there's none.
1. Combine all the ingredients for the lumpia except the wrapper. Mix well and make sure everything is incorporated.
2. Roll a tablespoon-full of the mixture into a wrapper, making sure that the filling is secured.
3. Cut each roll in half and dip each end of the rolls in flour or cornstarch.
4. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the rolls until golden.
5. Place the fried rolls on paper towels to absorb the excess oil before serving. Tip: Put them in an upright position to drain the oil better and avoid the wrapper from getting soggy.
6. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except the cornstarch mixture. Mix well.
7. Heat pan and pour in the mixture. Continuously stir while bringing it to a boil.
8. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir until you achieve your desired consistency.
9. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with the lumpia.


Ready-to-use fluorometric substrate for caspase-6 and related caspases that recognize the amino acid sequence VEID. Caspase-6 and related caspase activity can be quantified by fluorescent detection of free AFC after cleavage from the peptide substrate VEID-AFC at Ex/Em = 400/505, using a fluorometer or multi-well fluorescence plate reader. Alternatively, a shift in fluorescence from blue to green upon cleavage can be visualized, using a hand-held long-UV lamp. The ready-to-use caspase substrate provides an economic alternative for researchers who perform large amount of caspase-6 assays.

The illustrations are sweet and whimsical, and relevant to each rhyme. I loved that the characters were drawn to have different genders and ethnicities. This book is a gentle way to explain the unexplainable to children. It shows that some things are real and true, even if we can't explore them with our senses, even if we can only hold them in our hearts. I really liked this book.
You may be wondering why I chose to review this particular book. I mean, we are well beyond board-book days in our household. Truthfully, I chose it because I knew it would be a quick and easy read, and I'd be able to get my review out without investing a lot of time. I figured I'd give it to one of my girlfriends who has preschool aged children after I was done. But now? I think I'm going to keep it, for cuties who may visit someday.

In the year 1932, when Mr. Wilhelm Koreska opened an office in erstwhile Calcutta, little did he know that he was laying the foundation for one of the biggest business conglomerates in the country. Over the next four years, Kores (India) Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated and by 1956, the Indian operations were taken over by Shri Krishnalal Thirani, Founder Chairman of Kores (India) Pvt. Ltd. today. Operating mainly in Kolkata and Mumbai, Kores gained reputation for its range of stationery products.
An Evolution Begins
While stationery remained at the heart of Kores' business, there were several strategic opportunities for the company to grow and diversify. As the driving force behind the organisation, Mr. K.L. Thirani led Kores to realise his vision of creating a world-class enterprise that would add sustainable value to India's economy. Since the early years, Kores has expanded and evolved vastly to become one of the country's most trusted and respected brands by consistently delivering high quality products and services.
Today, Kores is an organisation that has imbibed the traditional values of integrity, customer delight and social responsibility and synergised them seamlessly with state-of-the-art technology and world-class quality standards.

Inspirational Fable—Nothing worthwhile in life comes w/o a 'STRUGGLE'!
Nothing worthwhile in life comes w/o a 'STRUGGLE'!
One day a Biology Teacher Mr. Aric was teaching his students that How a CATERPILLAR turns into a BUTTERFLY. He told students that in the next couple of hours, the butterfly would struggle to come out of the cocoon, but no one should help the butterfly. Then he left. The students were waiting and it happened. the butterfly struggled to get out of the cocoon and against the advise of the teacher, one of the student took pity on it and decided to help the butterfly out of the cocoon. He broke the cocoon to help the butterfly so it didn't have to struggle any-more. But, shortly afterwards, the butterfly died.
When the Mr. Aric returned, he was told what had happened . He explained to the students that it's the law of nature that the struggle to come out of the cocoon actually helps to develop & strengthen the butterfly's wings. By helping the butterfly, the boy had deprived the butterfly of it's struggle and the butterfly Died.
Moral: Apply this same principle to our lives. " Nothing worthwhile in life comes w/o a 'STRUGGLE'!

Celebrity Wife Swap RECAP 4/29/14: Tichina Arnold and Kelly Packard Swap Lives
BY Amanda Austin on April 29, 2014 | Comments: 3 comments
Related : Celebrity Wife Swap, Reality TV, Recap, Television
Tonight on ABC's Celebrity Wife Swap returns again for a whole new episode where actress Tichina Arnold ("Martin") and actress Kelly Packard ("Baywatch") swap lives.
On last week's episode of ABC Celebrity Wife Swap two Hollywood dynasties came together for the first time when the partners of actor Robin Leach and music legend Eric Roberts swapped lives for one week. Did you watch last week's episode? If you missed it we have a full and detailed recap, right here for you.
On tonight's episode, when it's time for the swap, Tichina is not at all prepared for what's in store in Newhall. Born and raised in NYC, country living doesn't exactly agree with her– including having to now care for all of the family's animals, especially when one of Dalin's lizards decides to get up close and personal. Missing her wine and relaxing evenings, Tichina is now cooking, cleaning and running a household of six. Back in New York City, Kelly finds the city cramped and exhausting, especially keeping up with Alijah's busy schedule of auditions, dance classes and everything in between.
We will be covering tonight's Celebrity Wife Swap, Tichina Arnold and Kelly Packard episode with all the details. You don't want to miss this episode; you never know what craziness is going to break out! Don't forget to come back to this spot at 8PM for our coverage of the episode.
Tonight's episode begins now – Refresh Page for Updates
Tonight's episode of Celebrity Wife Swap features sitcom actress Tichina Arnold and Baywatch's Kelly Packard swapping lives for a week and living in each other's houses with each other's families.
Tichina lives in New York with her husband Rico and nine year old daughter. Rico is an assistance basketball coach at St. John's University, and her daughter Alijah is a "show biz baby," and a "true city girl."
Kelly lives 20 miles North of Los Angeles in a small town called Newhall with her husband Darrin and her four kids. Kelly and Darrin are practicing Mormons so they don't have tobacco, alcohol, coffee, or tea in their home. Darrin works 80 hours a week, so Kelly stays home and takes care of her 4 kids and their ten pets.
Kelly arrives at Tichina's house and she hates the city. She checks out Tichina's closet and thinks a teenager lives there. She is shocked to see that the Arnold family has only one bathroom.
Tichina lets herself into Kelly's house and is distraught when she can't find any alcohol. She sees pictures of all four kids on the wall and says she is having "allergic reactions."
Kelly and Tichina set down and read each other's manuals. And, realize quickly that they are polar opposites. Next they meet the families that they will be taking care of for the next couple of days. Kelly thinks she is going to have "no problem taking care of Tichina's family."
Tichina spends her first night with Kelly in the swimming pool, there's only one problem, she doesn't know how to swim.
Kelly cooks pork-chops for Rico for dinner and is shocked that the family doesn't eat dinner together, or even at a table. They all sit down on the couch with their TV trays and eat in silence watching TV. Kelly learns that Alijah doesn't have a bedtime.
Tichina wakes up at the crack of dawn, while the kids are still asleep. Darren heads to work and leaves her home alone with the four kids. Tichina tries to feed the kids, and then got them dressed and out the door so they aren't late for school.
Alijah's manager, her Grandma, shows up at the Arnold house and tells Kelly they have to do to dance, classes, acting classes, and an audition. Kelly sympathizes for Kelly because she knows what it is like to be a child actor.
Tichina is annoyed because Darren shows up two hours later than he said he would going to be because he was playing basketball, he claims he likes to play after work to "wind down." He missed dinner and missed putting his kids to bed.
It's time for the rule chance, and Kelly and Tichina are running their new houses their way. Kelly wants Alijah to put away the high-heels and do age appropriate activities. Kelly thinks they need more "outdoor life," so they are going to go camping. Kelly wants them to have dinner at the table and Alijah has to go to bed at 8:30 like a normal kid.
Tichina thinks the kids need to get out of the house and see other people, so they are having a "family night out." Darren can't go to basketball anymore. And from now on Darren needs to spend time with his wife and have a date night. Tichina also thinks that their 9 year old daughter deserves a make-over, and teaches her how to put on make-up.
Tichina gives Aubrey a make-up and unveils her new look to her father Darren. He's not a fan of her new look, he says she is "freaking him out" and she looks like she is 21.
Meanwhile at the Arnold house Kelly is trying to make Alijah act more like a nine year old. Kelly, Rico, and Alijah all sit down and do some arts and crafts together as a family. Then, since it is freezing outside they sent up a tent in the living-room and Kelly teaches Alijah and Rico how to make smores.
Tichina and Darren take all four kids to the roller skate rink for a family night. Darren is happy to spend time with his kids for a change, and he understands where Tichina is coming from about spending more time with his family.
It's time for Tichina and Kelly to meet up with their husbands and head to the round table to discuss what they have learned from each other's families. Kelly reveals that she thinks Rico and Alijah and Tichina need to act like more of a family, and she thinks that Alijah needs to act more her age. Tichina says that she thinks Kelly's life is "poop." And, she spent all day "cleaning up her animals' and her kids' poop." She also reveals that she thought Kelly was babying her daughter too much and she helped her put on make-up, which Kelly isn't too happy to hear. Kelly is thrilled though to hear that Tichina made Darren give up basketball, and will be spending more time with his family. Rico says that living with Kelly for a week made him realize that they need to have more family time together. Darren leaned through the whole process that he needs to spend more time Kelly, and take her out on date nights.
Overall Tichina says the Wife Swap was an eye-opener for her, but she has no intention of doing it again. Darren stayed true to his word and quit basketball so he could spend more time with his family. Alijah stuck to the bed time that Kelly set for her, but the family is using TV trays again.

The Golden Rock Song of the Day - 7/24/2007 »
The Golden Rock - July 24th, 2007 Edition
- The numbers for the Japanese box office is out from Box Office Mojo, but just as Warner Bros. has done in the past, it seems like they're over-reporting their gross again. Box Office Mojo reports that the film made 2.27 billion yen, including supposedly 2.05 billion yen over the two-day period of July 21-22 because it opened on a Friday. Now, those who read Eiga Consultant (i.e., me) know that just ain't true, because Potter made 1.12 billion yen from three days of previews last week (cue WB spokesperson - "Our wizardry will fight any typhoon that comes our way."), so Potter actually made just roughly over 1.1 billion yen. While the gross after the first weekend beats the previous film, hence making it the highest-opening Harry Potter film, the 2-day gross is actually only 84% of the previous film. Then again, why am I painting a movie that opened with over 1.1 billion yen as disappointing anyway? It's the misreporting that pisses me off more.
In the rest of the top 10, Pokemon suffers the largest drop of 50%, while Monkey Magic's near-40% drop isn't boding well for those early estimates, and even Indie dark comedy hit Kisaragi somehow made it to the top 10, thanks to the convenient omission of the Anpanman movie from the Box Office Mojo charts.
- I feel like I'm just repeating myself in saying that foreign films have yet again dominated the South Korean box office. There's a bright spot, though - a Thai horror movie has managed to score 295,000 admissions to the 4th place of the top 10. I'll let Mark Russell at Korea Pop Wars do the work again.
- Speaking of Mr. Russell, there's an interview by him with Jeong Tae-Song, the head of Korean blockbuster distributor Showbox. A little disappointing, however, that Jeong couldn't dish out more explanation towards his company's actions, including why it pulled out of Kim Ji-Woon's The Good, The Bad, and the Weird.
- Don't worry, Korean cinema, Japanese distributors are still buying your movies.
- There's word out there that Andy Lau is signing on to star in the remake of the 1967 version of a Better Tomorrow, which inspired the John Woo classic. Don't mistaken this for the Big Media-backed Another Better Tomorrow. In other news surrounding the film, Stephen Fung is in talks to direct, I assume after he finishes the Stephen Chow-produced Jump.
- And who stars in Jump? None other than Hong Kong's handsomest and richest bad boy Edison Chen. Over the years, he's had his run-ins with the paparazzi and the generally unfriendly Hong Kong print press. On his blog, he finally decided to fight back and snap a couple of pictures of his tormentors. Of course, I wouldn't be as stupid as to tell people to "piss or spit in they food" (jeez, thanks for promoting the stereotypes of bad Asian English), but I'm mildly entertained by this. The blog post even ended up on Oriental Daily's Entertainment page's top story (probably because the photographers in the blog post aren't theirs), but you know the reporting isn't going to be fair and balanced….just like this blog.
Is it just me, or isn't it kind of ironic that he asks people to support the "underground" when he's always pimping out mainstream hip-hop fashion and artists from Japan and the States?
- Everyone watch out, Andrew Lau is directing again! At least he usually goes away in just two hours when he's making movies, but now he's making a television series.
- A subsidiary of Japanese public broadcaster NHK has taken getting copyrights a little too seriously by registering the trademark of the name for a drama they haven't even started showing yet. By trademarking the name, they want to collect 3% from each business that wants to use the name in the future. And they wonder why youths don't respect intellectual property.
- There's another review for the Hong Kong action film Invisible Target by Benny Chan.
- EastSouthWestNorth wants to remind everyone that there's no active censorship in Hong Kong. Perhaps I've been a little rash in my opinions, when I'm really just mad at the lack of flexibility and common sense on the part of the Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority of Hong Kong when classifying "indecent" material.
- I swear I thought that AZN Television, the American cable network targeted towards an Asian American audience, was all but dead, especially when there's no more new original programming coming out. But perhaps they're not quite going away for a while after all.
- Lastly, as a matter of personal interest, the trailer for the new Wes Anderson film The Darjeeling Limited is out. I'm a big fan, so I'm already looking forward to this even before the trailer's out.

A sure sign of Christian maturity is not how well you avoid conflict, but how you respond to conflict. For example, immature Christians are quick to take offense and slow to forgive and seek reconciliation; while mature Christians are slow to take offense and quick to forgive and seek reconciliation. Forgiving a person who has mistreated you and seeking to reconcile with them is not easy. That is what makes it such a powerful picture of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel reveals to us that, in Christ, God forgives our sin and reconciles us with Himself (2 Cor 5:10). In today's sermon, we shall discuss the reconciliation of Esau and Jacob and be encouraged to seek to be reconciled with others.
God is Merciful to Us. Reconciliation can only occur when each person involved takes responsibility for their own actions. Conflict arises because of sin. Every person struggles with sin and every person must repent of their sin. What leads us to repentance? Romans 2:4 says, "God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance." God's mercy provides the initiative for us to forgive and to pursue reconciliation with others. Jacob knows that he must return to the Promised Land and he must take responsibility for his sinful deception of his father and brother. In view of God's great mercy towards him, Jacob is a much humbler man who seeks to make amends with his brother.
God is Changing Me. Reconciliation is only possible when we release our bitterness and resentment. This can only happen through the gracious power of God at work in your life. God replaces our hatred with love. Our responsibility is to believe and obey God's prompting. Over the past 20 years God has shown faithful love and mercy to Jacob. In the process, Jacob has been changed by God. If you remember, last week we learned about the angel of the Lord attacking Jacob in order to break him of his self-confidence. Jacob was a deceiver who did everything he could to protect himself, but Israel is a much humbler man who depends upon God. Our God is the God of peace (Heb 13:20) and He calls us to live peaceably (Rom 12:18). If you seek reconciliation with others, trust that this is God's gracious work in your heart. A desire for reconciliation is a mark of genuine faith. A refusal to seek reconciliation is dangerous because it is a mark of a hypocrite.
God is Changing Us. Forgiveness and reconciliation are not identical. Forgiveness is the decision to give our anger, resentment, etc. to God and to abandon vengeance. Reconciliation concerns the restoration of the relationship. Forgiveness can happen without reconciliation, but reconciliation cannot happen without forgiveness. Both, however, can only occur through the power of God at work in the life of all involved. We are powerless to change others, but God is able. Esau has been changed by God. We are not told what has transpired in the last 20 years but the results are remarkable. Consider that when Jacob left, Esau hated Jacob and plotted to kill him (Gen 27:41). Rebekah heard this and told Jacob to flee to his uncle's house (Gen 27:42). When Jacob returned, he was afraid because he assumed that Esau still hated him and wanted to kill him. What Jacob did not anticipate is that God was not only changing Jacob's heart but Esau's as well. Genesis 33:4 tells us that "Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept." Let us trust that just as God is working in us for peace, he is also working in others as well. Let us forgive and pursue reconciliation in the hopes that God is working in our life and others.
God is Glorified in Us. Reconciliation is a glorious picture of the gospel. We know that the conflict between Jacob and Esau was resolved well because the result was peace. Verse 18 tells us that Jacob came safely (peacefully) to the city of Shechem. Jacob and Esau separated and Jacob did something next that reminds us of his grandfather Abraham. In Genesis 21, Abraham planted a tree, dug a well and called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God. Jacob built an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel (God, the God of Israel). This is significant because it is the first instance of Jacob saying that the Lord is his God. Before Jacob would refer to God as the God of my fathers. Reconciliation is a work of grace, to be sought by faith and acknowledged in praise.
Jacob was afraid that Esau still harbored hatred and bitterness. He was pleasantly surprised that Esau had forgiven him and accepted him. Who are you at odds with? Do you harbor bitterness and resentment towards them? Do you believe they harbor bitterness against you? Trust God and reach out to them in love and grace. Seek to reconcile with them. Do so out of love for them and for God. Pray that God uses it as a glorious picture of salvation.
What does the text say? (What happened? What happened next? What happened after that?) Why did Jacob leave his family? (Gen 27) Why is Jacob returning? What is he afraid Esau will do? What does Esau do when he sees Jacob? What reason does Jacob give for not following Esau to Seir? What does Jacob do once he arrives at Shechem? What does El-Elohe-Israel mean?
What does it tell us about God? (Discuss the nature and character of God.) What had God just done to Jacob before Jacob met with Esau? Why did God change Jacob's name to Israel? What does Israel mean? Why did Jacob erect an altar? Did God answer Jacob's prayer in Genesis 32:9-12? If not, why not? If so, in what ways? Why, according to Genesis 28:13-15, is Jacob not in danger of Esau?
What does it tell us about ourselves? (What are the human characters in the story doing or not doing that serve as a warning or encouragement to us?) Why is Jacob so nervous about meeting Esau? If God has assured Jacob that he will be blessed when he returns (Genesis 28:13-15, Gen 31:3) to the Promised Land, why is Jacob so fearful? How is it possible that Esau has forgiven Jacob when Jacob was hurtful to Esau? Is it possible for people to change? Is it possible for us to assume incorrectly? Discuss this further.

1. Do not use legal argot in an effort to "sound like a lawyer." There are many words and phrases one might associate with legal writing but which have a tendency to obscure the meaning of a sentence. Although you will see that some of these words are used by judges and authors of legal texts, particularly in older texts, you should not use them yourself. The rule of thumb of modern legal writing is that a lawyer's language, whenever possible, must be clear and concise enough to be understood by a lay client. Do not use so-called legal terminology unless general terminology would be less precise.
As stated heretofore, the landlord's conduct created, caused, and resulted in serious bodily harm and massive injuries, to wit: a broken and mangled left leg, lacerations to the aforementioned leg, and several broken digits on the foot attached to said leg, in witness whereof was the spouse of the injured party.
Better: As stated, the landlord inflicted serious injuries on the tenant, including a broken left leg, lacerations to that leg, and several broken toes on the left foot. The altercation was witnessed by the tenant's spouse.
2. Do not use long introductory (throat clearing) phrases that add no special meaning. Use of phrases such as "the defense contends" and "it is important to emphasize that" generally add no substantive meaning to a sentence. Making matters worse, they prevent the reader from quickly reaching the important part of the sentence and may result in a loss of emphasis. As a general rule, one should get to the important point quickly.
The plaintiff contends that the landlord caused her injury by leaving a large ditch in the backyard.
Better: The landlord injured the plaintiff by leaving a large ditch in the backyard.
Of course, if you wish to emphasize that this is only a contention, not a fact, then the first usage is acceptable. However, if you represent the plaintiff, it does your client a disservice to suggest this is only a contention. If it's a fact, state it without introduction.
3. Do use well-understood terms of art if they are more precise than general terminology and if you are writing to a professional audience. The beginning law student will have difficulty knowing when a term of art is likely to be well understood, as they all are new to the beginner. However, as time progresses, new law students will develop an easy familiarity with terms of art and the decision whether to use them will be less difficult.
In this case, which involves a group of corporate directors who failed to properly represent the interests of the shareholders, the plaintiffs can not bring their claim in federal court because the plaintiffs and defendants were all citizens of the same state and the only issues to be tried were matters of state law.
Better: In this case, involving the breach of fiduciary duties by corporate directors, the plaintiffs can not proceed in federal court because there is neither diversity of citizenship nor any federal question.
In the preceding example, the terms "fiduciary duties," "diversity of citizenship," and "federal question" are terms of art likely to be understood by any practicing attorney or judge. Their use would therefore be appropriate in writing a memorandum to a supervising attorney or a brief to a judge, but might not be appropriate in a letter to a lay client.

Lovely photos!… as much as i anticipated 2014…. I am still stuck in the tale end of 2013!!!… I will welcome the new year on monday!.
10 days without going out, that´s kind of long! But you are still so stylish, even with the most simple outfit! Great photos!
Ooo la la. I love that bag. Also, so happy you are posting so often…. with this, and Instagram, and Facebook, and Snapchat, and Twitter… the stalking levels are reaching good heights.
It's so crazy to see new balance a thing now. In DC it's so common to wear them, but women don't style them this way. I have a few ideas to dress mine up though. My favorite color are the grey ones.
Amazing pictures! I have to say that this year for me is turning like, I don't wanna move from my livingroom, but I have to re star at work Tuesday and believe me i want to cry.
Amazing pictures, and amazing work!
Did you really Youtube shoe lacing? This is hilarious!
Anyway, you look fantastic in those New Balance, I got myself a grey pair, but they size too small and I had to sell them, bummer!
Anyway, happy new year and all!
I reblogged a photo of you on tumblr not knowing it was you just becasuse I loved the outfit!
I'm in love with ur pics!
Luckily you're not the only one who has forgot how it is to be a "normal" human!
I know exactly how you feel, I'm off for an extra few weeks this year visiting my bro, I will never be able to get back to work at the end of this month!
I LOVE how you explain your transition into the new year…. Happens to all of us at some point or other…. Now you can cross that off of things to do and move forward. Best wishes!
Lovely post as always! I love your writing style – so witty and entertaining!
You'll have to try and leave the killing of Nazis to evening time, I know it isn't easy! Bet you're back in the swing now though.
Ok loving that cute Furla bag!
The pictures are wonderful! I really like the colours and especially this grainy effect.
really love your photography and how minimal your images are!
sounds like a nice break nonetheless! everyone needs to veg out occasionally – from the little narrative in the photos here – looks like you did it in style!
those sneakers look awesome! the colour is great.
Hahahahahah oh man, you need to write a book. Seriously. You're hilarious.
Amazing outfit! Happy New Year!
hey! i love your sneakers. What the name and model of your shoes? thanks!


Kérastase is a French international luxury haircare brand, headquartered in rue Saint-Honore, Paris. The brand forms part of the professional products division of the multi-national Paris-based parent company the L'Oréal Group.
Established in 1964 in France, by François Dalle (parent company CEO), the brand first expanded through Europe, followed by Japan in 1990 and in North America in 1999. Kérastase is exclusively distributed through high-end hair salons. It is a leading brand in several countries in the professional and luxury haircare segments.
In 1967, he launched Bain Equilibreur first balancing shampoo for dry or oily scalp.
In 1974, Kerastase Bain Divalent flagship product from Specifique range, product for oily scalp and dry ends sensitized or product that is found in beauty hair salons nowadays.
In 1986, they create Masquintense legendary hair mask that has become the ultimate treatment dedicated to dry hair and still enjoyed by millions.
In 1995, Activeur 7 is created, the flagship product for men hair loss treatment.


Expansion comes at a cost – at least initially. Since it went public in 2017,Eddie Stobart Logistics (ESL) has been broadening its capabilities and haulage capacity through a series of acquisitions, culminating in a £52.8m deal to bring The Pallet Network within the fold. The West Midlands-based firm, as its name suggests, has given the group a presence in the pallet distribution market across the UK and Ireland, while enabling it to respond to increased customer demand for next-day, less-than-a-truckload freight deliveries. The deal has enhanced the group's commercial proposition, its ability to provide integrated logistics services for its clients, in addition to building scale, but the associated growing pains are evident in the balance sheet, net cash-flows and at the margins.

Beijing: India needs over USD 1.5 trillion in investment in the next 10 years to bridge infrastructure gap as the government intends to connect seven hundred thousand villages with roads by 2019 as part of a massive modernisation plan, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Sunday.
"We have been able to sustain growth in the phase of global slowdown essentially on the strength of the infrastructure creation in India where the gap is huge," Mr Jaitley, who is in China to attend the Board of Governors of AIIB, said.
"Over the next decade, we require over USD 1.5 trillion in India alone to fill up the infrastructure gap. We also use the additional resource which is available with us as a result of falling prices because that regime helps us.
"In investing large public finance into infrastructure, for instance, we have seventeen hundred thousand villages in India. We intend to connect each of them by 2019," he said while addressing a seminar on "Infrastructure and Global Economic Growth" organised by China sponsored Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) along with Finance Ministers of many countries.
He also spoke of massive rural sanitation programme as part of India's current infrastructure programme.
Mr Jaitley said the government is seeking private sector participation in converting railway stations into commercial hubs.
The government plans to build more airports, sea ports and generate more power, particularly renewable energy which is ecologically also better from all points view, he said. "These are all the emphasis areas we have under taken," he said. About arranging funding for the massive development, he said "we realise that starting point is public finances. It is only when the public finances are put into it, you start attracting and the activity begins a lot of private funds".
At the same time there are large number of developmental institutions like World Bank, ADB which put in lot of money because infrastructure funding also brings in long time returns on a sustainable basis, Mr Jaitley said.
The government has set up India infrastructure investment fund where the government holds minority stake, Mr Jaitley said.
"This a new experiment we have undertaken which we hope will be a success," Mr Jaitley said, adding that the emphasis of the India in the next decade to fill up the infrastructure gap which will also generate growth, employment, pull up number people out of poverty.
"In our bid as emerging economy graduating into developed economy category, we feel that this is extremely vital for a country with a large population like India," the Finance Minister said.
Minister of Finance, Luxembourg, Imad Najib Fakhoury, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, Jordan, Jin Liqun, AIIB President and Chris Heathcote, CEO, Global Infrastructure Hub, Thomas Maier, Managing Director, EBRD and Chair of the WEF Global Agenda Council on Infrastructure.

Narrow tolerances are the only way for gear wheels to transfer forces quietly with almost no loss. The precision of production and gear tooth measurement must go hand in hand. The GEAR PRO option for ZEISS CALYPSO enables gear tooth measurements on coordinate measuring machines. The analytical 3D gear model and the graphic-supported input windows make measuring with GEAR PRO highly effective.
Through the interaction of the software core and the graphic user interface, GEAR PRO generates a CAD model of the gear from the definition of the geometry. The graphic display of the CAD model allows you to quickly and visually check the input values. A standard measurement can already be started on the basis of the geometry definition.
Graphic input windows and systematic guidance with each step simplify the adjustment of the measuring run to the respective measuring task. A few mouse clicks are all that is needed to define, for example, evaluation and measuring ranges, with the aid of windows and graphic visualization.

Greening Defence
Public Statement for the Strategic Environmental Assessment of the Defence Energy and Environment Strategy (DEES)
In support of the Government of Canada's commitment to environmental sustainability, the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have developed an integrated strategy for energy and environmental management, the Defence Energy and Environment Strategy (DEES). The DEES builds on Strong, Secure, Engaged: Canada's Defence Policy, and reaffirms DND's commitment to greening its operations.
As DND's primary vehicle for sustainable development planning and reporting, the DEES contributes to the Government of Canada's Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS) and supports Canada's vision for sustainable development. The DEES integrates sustainable development principles into DND policies, programs and daily operations, covering a spectrum of environmental issues that include climate change, air quality, water quality and ecosystem health.
Four overarching goals related to energy efficiency, sustainable operations, green procurement and sustainable real property, align the DEES with the federal government's environmental priorities. Together with 18 concrete targets, these goals support the FSDS priorities of a low-carbon government, safe and healthy communities, and healthy wildlife populations.
In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on Policy, Plan and Program Proposals, a detailed Strategic Environmental Assessment was completed to determine the potential environmental impacts associated with the initiatives and targets identified in the DEES. The DEES will help DND to better manage our energy use and adopt green energy sources for our operations. It will also help to reduce the impact of defence activities on the environment, protect threatened species, promote sustainable buying practices, and protect water resources. Other benefits include reducing the amount of money spent on energy, promoting innovation in the energy industry, and improving the facilities where our military personnel train and operate in defence of Canada.
DND will report annually on its progress in implementing the DEES and meeting its energy and environmental objectives. Through the FSDS and departmental results reporting, the DEES will help to ensure that parliamentarians and Canadians can track DND's progress in reducing its energy and environmental footprint. Both this strategy and implementation plans will be reviewed periodically to ensure they reflect current policies, operations, practices and technologies.
