Here, hopefully, is everything you wanted to know about hair coloring, but were afraid to ask.

If In have just straightened my hair or have just rebonded it, is it okay for me to have my hair colored after? what if I have just had my hair colored, how long after can I have it straightened or rebonded?
If you have just bad your hair straightened or rebonded, it is best to waith about 2-3 months before using permanent color -- and vice versa. If you absolutely cannot wait that long, you can use a demi-permanent hair color (such as Schwarzkopf's Igora Personality) which washes off over time, to get the color effect you want.



How long does the hair color last?
Permanent hair color lasts until the hair grows out. A demi-permanent hair color fades out after 16-20 shampoos.



When do I need to go back to the salon to retouched after about 2 months to prevent that awkward growth stage -- where the color of your roots will be noticeably different from the color of the rest of your hair. For white hair, retouching every month would work best.

Making Peace with the Enemy

What's the solution to this tug-of-war against time?
Many consultants recommend time management techniques. It's all a matter of allotting time for the things that are important to you. There's time for work, there's time for play, and then there's time for our family. Some say that time management is not the solution-managing our self is. They say we need to just conduct ourselves gracefully under pressure so as not to crack up. Still other say that self-management is not enough, what is needed is life management. We need to say the direction our lives are headed to be able to act according to our priorities, do we want to be successful career woman or a simple, loving mom that your children can look up to? I think these techniques can work, but then again, these may not.
These are two dimensional strategies, base entirely on time or life expectancy and the person's competencies. Consultants recommend tweaking either one to achieve the perfect order of things. But they forgot a third dimension that's often ignored and that is the person's paradigms.

The common paradigm is that we should strive for the perfect job, the dream home,and the ideal family. In doing so, we fly through life like super-moms and super-wives,and we don't realize that our super expectations are draining our life force. My belief is that we can never be super-anything ( except, maybe,super-tired) because as human beings, we can only strive for perfection but never attain it. this is not a defeatist attitude, it is only an acceptance of our natural imperfections.

China-Asean Expo

Nanning, China - The giant is fully awake.

China, which went into economic isolation and slumber during the decades-long regime fo Mao Tsetung after the Second World War, has begun to flex its muscle. Hardly anyone doubts that already this nation with more than 1.3 billion people spread across 9.6 million square kilometers of real estate is on its way to becoming a true global superpower.

While the whole world continues to watch China with a newfound curiosity and fascination, China stares back with just as watchful, expectant eyes. Its government has extended broad and aggressive efforts to foster regional and global multilateral relationship, using its astounding foreign exchange reserves to not only buttress its coffers but also acquire more respect and prestige.

Indeed the whole nation, including its boondocks, is undergoing a massive transformation. For instance, Nanning, capital of the southern province of Guangxi, used to be just known for its lush green mountains, a back water to its more prosperous neighbor Guangdong (formerly Canton). But it has been the host of the China-Asean Exposition (Caexpo) for four years running and has established its presence as another major player in national development, alongside Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The Caexpo was first proposed by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao for the primary purpose of the China-Asean Free Trade Area (Cafta) and the resulting Cafta Agreement. It was immediately backed by the 10 Asean countries.

Polar Climates

Unlike regions with tropical and middle latitude climates, the polar regions have vary short summers. During the winter season, the sun is not seen for six months. When it is supposed to be summer, the sun's rays are so slanting that they give very little heat. There is very little precipitation because the air is too cold to hold much water vapor. If there is little water vapor, there will also be little precipitation that may form rain, hail or sleet.

The temperature during the warmest months is between O degree Celsius and 10 degree Celsius. During the cold months, the temperature may go lower than -25 degree Celsius. The poles are always covered with ice. Probably you can imagine how cold it is in the zone of polar climates. This zone has small and short plants such as grasses and mosses.

Marketing

Marketing is the system of selling farm products. In plain language, it is the selling and buying of goods from producer to consumer.

Three Systems of Marketing

1. Wholesale - Most wholesalers come to the farm, harvest the crops and sell them direct to the market. This system is advantageous to the producer because he has a sure market. This is the common practice when the farm is far from the market.

2. Selling direct to Consumer - This system is practised by small crop growers. They sell their produce to the nearest market and get all the profits from their crops.

3. Marketing through cooperatives - This is practised by small crop growers. All the members share their services and share equally in profits. The advantage of this system is that crop growers get enough profit while the price of the produce is cheaper.

The World of Work

Because of advanced technology, more work is done faster, easier and better. This is already a reality and the future looks even brighter.

At the present, women also work outside of the homes. In the future, there will be more women joining the world of work. In the same manner, more men will realize the importance of shared responsibilities in the home.

Educating children as one important function of the family is becoming more and more responsibility of the school alone. Younger school-age is becoming more popular. In the future, hiring outside help to rear infants might become the norm.
