Magnetic attraction

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 20:08:13 +0000

Sometimes, simple tricks can leave your little ones enthralled. Here is one of which I learn some years ago. It has not stopped amazing children whenever I perform it with my camcorder – at kids’ birthday parties or just children get together. It does not call for elaborate preparation and there are very few props required.

Magnetic toothpick.

* Place a few small scraps of paper on a table. Without anyone notocing, quickly rub a toothpick or a pencil a few times on your sleeve. Now move this ‘magnitized’ toothpick/pencil slowly towards the bits of paper. As you do this, blow gently. This will cause the paper bits to move towards the toothpick as though they were trying to follow its path. (Remember, no one must realize that you are blowing.) Anyone else who tries to do this trick won’t be able to ‘magnetize’ the toothpick.

Restoration by Hand and Computer

A Technician injects glue made of shark’s lung under paint detaching from a face (top), one of only a few still showing original pigment. An archer reveals details of hair (above) and hemp soles (below), but the figure lacks color until artist Doug Stern paints an Image (left) with a computer. Ravages of Floods, Fire, and time have erased original paint from statues such as this one of the high-ranking officer, possibly a general (below), discovered in Pit 1. Two similar “generation” have been found in Pit 2. Ancient pigments made from minerals were mixed with a binder such as animal blood or egg white to color the statues. Charcoal may have once tinted in the hair. Guided by flakes of paint and historical sources, Stern used a computer with an electronic pen and tablet to hang colors on photographs of the archer and the general (left) from Pit 1. Without actually tinting the original statues, an approximation of the figures’ original appearance is achieved and can easily be modified to reflect future research.

Beauty Hair Care-How to Trim Your Own Bangs

If your fringe is getting too long but you don’t have the time (or budget) to go to a salon, heed these tips since the Salon did tell me about these tips.

Step 1: Begin with clean, dry hair. Then, use a fine-toothed comb to gather bangs forward so that they fall straight across your forehead.

Step 2: Starting from the roots, loosely grasp a section of your hair in between your fingers. Then, glide fingers downwards until you reach the desired length you want to cut off.

Step3: Hold the scissors at approximately a 45-degree angle (never horizontal), then start snipping ends from the center of your forehead and trim outwards. Repeat on the other side.

TIP: Scared you’ll cut too much off? Just trim bangs 1/4 of an inch at a time since you can always snip off more later on.
