David Tatham asked:




David Shepherd, internationally renowned wildlife artist and conservationist, who has devoted much of his time to protecting almost extinct species of animals, and bringing to the forefront, the ever increasing need to ‘look after’ the planet on which we all live… He has recently presented awards to the Wildlife artist of thee year… He expressed his pride of the sucess of this year’s competition, and went on to say how rewarding it was to offer an opportunity to so many artists throughout the world so that they can display their work and raise money to help save so many endangered species and make people aware of exactly what is happening to the world and its creatures. He expresses his views in a most straightforward and ‘down-to-earth’ manner… In a recent talk David believes that the world is dangerously fragile, and mainly through arrogance man thinks it fine to destroy and use up non-renewable resources for our own benefit. Mankind seems to be of the oppinion that it owns the Earth, but of course we share its ocupation with all the other living animals. The most dangerous animal on the planet is Man, and we make extinct one species every hour!It is unbelievable that we think that we can continue like this…. Resources are limited and time is limited..!.

His knowledge about wildlife is relatively small, but that is of little importance, but that is of little importance. He is acutely and strongly aware that his sucess is mainly due to the animals he has painted. He has seen many awful results of man’s gread and stupidity towards the animals that live on the planet. Directors of many of the major corporations seem to have no interest in anything else apart from the interests of their shareholders. In politics who really cares about the environment? Greed and ignorance are the main factors..! Nothing is happening to right these issues, there was a glimmer of hope many years ago when 150 countries met to discuss the issue, but to no avail.. The world is crying out for help but those cries seem to be unheard.

Man’s infinite wisdom and creative ability can always write another symphony or build another beautiful building. However, once the last tiger has been killed, another one cannot be made. Neil Armstrong tells David a thought as he was coming back from the moon in the space ship. He looked through the window at Earth, and it seemed about the size of a small ball; at that moment he realised how fragile it was. It was so fragile and it is our only planet and the message must arrive today; Otherwise, tomorrow will not exist.

There are some form of stretches and exercises that can be done to reduce the risk of recurrence of plantar fasciitis. Your physician may give you specific instructions for a suitable exercise program that is appropriate for you. Exercises for plantar fasciitis focus on stretching the Achilles tendon, calf, and plantar fascia. These stretches can be done whenever you experience pain from plantar fasciitis. Try them.

It is sometimes recommended that you warm up a little before doing plantar fasciitis stretches. An easy and not complex warm up is to walk up some stairs. Always ask your physician for advice on doing exercises and stretches for plantar fasciitis.

One of the plantar fasciitis stretches starts by standing about two feet away from a wall. Lean against the wall. With one leg bent comfortably, straighten the other leg, placing it about six inches behind you with the heel on the floor. Hold for ten seconds. You should feel a gentle stretch of the Achilles tendon in the extended leg. Switch positions and stretch the other leg. Repeat twenty times.

The second plantar fasciitis stretch starts with your toes against the wall with heels on the floor. Bring your hips nearer to the wall so that your other foot is at a 45 degrees angle. This will stretch the calf and the plantar fascia.

Sit on a chair. Rest the ankle of the injured foot on the knee of the opposite leg. Gently push the toes backward until you feel a stretch in the bottom of your foot.

Another exercise starts by leaning forward onto a countertop. Your feet should be spread apart with one foot in front of the other. Squat down. Keep your heels on the floor. Hold for ten seconds and relax. Repeat twenty times.

Sit on a table with your knees bent. Holding onto the ends of the towel, loop a towel under the ball of the foot. Keep knees bent as you gently pull the towel while flexing the foot upward. Try to press your foot against the towel.

If you experience pain in the morning, do the next simple exercise before getting out of bed. Lying on your back, using your big toes to try to write the alphabet in the air. After writing the alphabet, gently raise your big toes towards you.

Some people find massage helpful to reduce pain. One way to massage the area yourself is to rest the foot on a tennis or golf ball. Gently roll the foot over the ball. Rolling back and forth over the ball of the foot yields a gentle massage of the plantar fascia ligament. You can try using an empty tennis ball container that you filled with water and froze. The ice pack will smoothe the pain and the rolling action sort of massages the foot.

Alia Jocob asked:




The friendship between TomKat and the Becks, two A-List Hollywood couples, has made headlines ever since David and Victoria Beckham moved to America. David Beckham, one of the best football players in the world, and Victoria (a former Spice Girl) went to support Katie Holmes in her play, “All My Sons”. They accompanied Katie’s husband Tom Cruise as they all headed to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater to watch Katie’s performance.

After the play, the two couples were spotted together in New York City once again. They all met up in the TomKat’s place before heading out with their children in tow. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a daughter named Suri (Tom also has two adoptive children, Connor and Isabella, with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman) whereas David and Victoria Beckham have three sons named Cruz, Romeo and Brooklyn. TomKat, the Becks, and all their children were seen celebrating Thanksgiving dinner together in Il Cantinori Restaurant in Manhattan.

It has also been rumored recently that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been on the look-out for movies where they can both act together. A source revealed that, “They’re looking at remaking Last Tango In Paris, but anything **** with a good story appeals. Tom’s looking for something that’s cutting edge and sexy, but also accessible.” He added that “He’s thinking along the lines of Basic Instinct – a movie that has a mainstream plot, but also some intense *** stuff. He hasn’t found the script yet, but both he and Katie are reading a few that could fit the bill.”

The relationship between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes seems to be going strong, and according to Tom his past erratic behavior may have contributed to it. He said, “There are things that I could have done better. I could have handled things better. I was surprised by the criticism but it brought everyone close together. Katie’s entire family and my family. Going through that stuff is not pleasant, and I think it hit an extreme, but Kate’s a very sure and confident and strong woman. She gets it, you know.”

Niv Orlian asked:




I really thought I knew everything there is about the midfielder, but reading a David Beckham biography I found out more about the man behind the superstar. That’s why I decided to write my own biography of David Beckham, to share to you the player behind the million dollar endorsements.

David Beckham Biography - Manchester United

David Beckham’s story starts out near London, where he was born to a family of Manchester United fans. Despite being so close to clubs like West Ham United, Arsenal or Chelsea, Beckham’s aim was always the Red Devils club. As luck would have it, on his fourteenth birthday, he was taken in the Manchester youth program, and he even starred next to the senior team…as a mascot.

Just 4 years later, he went on to play for Sir Alex Ferguson’s senior squad, but his performance still needed fine tuning, so he was loaned to Preston North End for a year, returning to Manchester with some match experience. He quickly gained his place in the squad, despite his young age and became one of Manchester’s most preeminent players during the following decade.

His most successful season with Manchester is undoubtedly 1999, when the club achieved the Treble (League, Cup and Champions League in the same season) and with David Beckham playing soccer like never before.

It’s around then that he “trademarked” his famous free kicks and crosses and seeing some footage of David Beckham in action during that period will shed all doubts as to whether or not his superstardom status has a solid basis in his playing style, or just his good looks.

David Beckham Biography - 1998 World Cup Incident

His career did have a few rough moments, the most notable one being in 1998 with the English national side, at that year’s World Cup. In the Second Round, where England would play Argentina, Beckham was taunted by Argentinean midfielder Diego Simeone and he responded with a swing towards the player, which earned him a red card for bad behavior on the pitch.

With England losing the match and being knocked out of the tournament, all blame fell on David Beckham, as the English newspapers put him against the wall and fired up some poisonous articles. Any other player would have stayed low, or even quit soccer, but David Beckham’s ambition brought him back to the top. His performance with Manchester the following year, earned him back the respect of his fans and the entire world.

David Beckham Biography - Real Madrid

By the time David Beckham moved to Real Madrid in 2003, he was already a well-known star on the international stage. In his four years with the Madrid club he managed to win the Spanish league once, but his performance was deemed poorer than what he was playing at Manchester.

Many attributed this loss of form due to the new system found at Real and the fact that at Madrid he wasn’t the “star” of the team anymore, since he was playing next to other internationally famous soccer players like Zinedine Zidane, Raul or Roberto Carlos.

David Beckham Biography - Los Angeles Galaxy

Moving to play in the United States for the Los Angeles Galaxy as of 2007 earned him one of the biggest contracts in the history of soccer and it was an offer David couldn’t have refused, despite the fact that the soccer level in the United States is not as high as the one practiced in Spain.

U.K. football has been around for nearly two hundred years, yet today it’s more popular than ever. Football was actually invented in Europe in late 1863 with the formation of the Football Association.

U.K. Football stars David Beckham, Kevin Phillips and Ryan Giggs

David Beckham

English national football team midfielder David Beckham has become one of the best known U.K. football players. Thirty three year old Beckham has numerous awards and accolades for his football ability. Some of these awards include winning the British Sportsman of the Year Award in 2001 from the British Sports Writers’ Association, UEFA Awards most valuable player in 1999 and PFA Young Player of the Year Award in 1997 to name a few. Going back to 1991, David signed on as a trainee for the Manchester United and today plays for Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy team. These days Beckham is known the world over not only for his contribution to U.K. football but for much more, including his acting roles.

Ryan Giggs

Born in Cardiff in 1973, Ryan Giggs has played for the Manchester United for the past eighteen years. Since beginning his career with Manchester United in 1992, Giggs has won nine Premier League winner’s medals. Ryan is also a midfielder and is widely accepted as one of the best in U.K. football history. However, in 2007 he retired completely from international football.

Kevin Phillips

Aston Villa forward Kevin Phillips started off in football as a right back. His 30 FA Premier League goals during the 1999-2000 seasons for Sunderland won him the European Golden Boot. Although he has suffered injuries and has bounced around to many teams, he is still regarded as a fan favorite amongst U.K. Football fans.

History of Premier League Football

Premier League Football also known as the Barclays Premier League began in mid 2002 to revive and recover the failing U.K. Football image. Due to many soccer stadium riots and violence that brought shame to the entire nation, new rules, regulations and systems where put in place for U.K Football. English football had been banned for several years for its violence. Racial slurs and stadiums falling apart were also issues that were addressed and fixed with the Premier League formation. Since then, the Premier League has created a brand that sports fans around the world regularly watch.

Below is the list of the twenty Premier League teams.

Arsenal/Aston Villa/Blackburn Rovers/Bolton Wanderers/Chelsea/Everton/Fulham/Hull City/Liverpool/Manchester City/Manchester United/Middlesbrough/Newcastle United/Portsmouth/Stoke City/Sunderland/Tottenham Hotspur/West Bromwich/West Ham/Wigan Athletic

The Football League Championship (Also known as the Coca-Cola Football League Championship because Coca-Cola sponsors of the Championship and the two leagues.) is a division of the English football league system after the Premier League. It’s also one of the biggest football leagues in Europe today. Team rankings are based upon goals scored, goal difference, and points gained. Teams play against other teams for a total of two times. One home game and then another away game is then played. Recently, BBC Radio 5 Live and The Football League Championship have teamed up to provide weekly podcast featuring U.K. Football content.

The twenty four Football League Championship teams

Barnsley/Birmingham City/Blackpool/Bristol City/Burnley/Cardiff City/Charlton Athletic/Coventry City/Crystal Palace/Derby County/Doncaster Rovers/Ipswich/Norwich City/Nottingham Forest/Plymouth Argyle/Preston North End/Queens Park Rangers/Reading/Sheffield United/Sheffield Wednesday/Southampton/Swansea City/Watford/Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sarah Stephens asked:




As both the wife of professional soccer player David Beckham and a celebrity herself, you can bet that Victoria Beckham finds herself in the camera’s eye almost every time she leaves the house. How does she manage to look glamorous, **** and pulled together every time the shutter goes click? She chooses her jewelry well. With a few helpful tips, we’ll show you how you can too.

Jewelry is the secret weapon of every female celebrity, whether she’s strolling the red carpet or stepping out to the corner store for another box of ginger tea. A subtle pair of earrings, a bracelet full of bling, or a bold gemstone pendant necklace all add a particularly personal touch to an outfit and over time, each individual woman’s accessory style becomes part of her signature look. So, our first rule of thumb is:

1. Never Leave Home Without It

Whether you’re a soccer mom or a soccer wife, there is no excuse for not glitzing up your lobes, neck and wrists. Our favorite ex-Spice Girl has no qualms about steeling the spotlight, on the sidelines or the red carpet. Victoria loves ornate jewelry, like rhinestone chandelier earrings, blue sapphire pendant necklaces and studded diamond circle pendants. She often pairs diamonds with stunning gemstones, enhancing the sparkle and attraction of each. Her trick is achieving a balance between the accessories and the rest of her ensemble by pinning her hair up and choosing simple, off-the-shoulder lines.

For less pricey versions of her style, try substituting moonstone or labrodite pendants, as in this necklace here.

Unlike clothing, the most beautiful jewelry is timeless, so it can be worn again and again, with almost any outfit. However, just like clothing, jewelry colors and designs must be tailored to the individual wearer to complement her natural features best. So keep in mind that accessories are your opportunity to make your ensemble specifically yours and to develop your very own personal style. Which brings us to rule number two:

2. Pick Colors Strategically

There are a couple of rules to finding a color that complements eye color, hair color and skin tone. The first is that when two colors are near each other, opposites enhance, but similar tones clash. This means that if your head boasts beautiful red locks, a big green necklace will make both colors much more striking, whereas a yellow or red necklace would probably dull both down to a plain, brownish mess.

The second rule is, the farther you stray from the source, the more likely that similar colors will catch and improve each other. That’s why Victoria is so big on blue gemstones – from her neckline, this blue accessory is meant to bring out the blue in her eyes, since eyes are small and far away from most jewelry. When, however, Victoria is looks to draw attention to her fabulous tan, you can bet that her earrings, necklace or bracelet are full of white diamonds and pearls to ensure close-up contrast.

Jewelry is only inappropriate when it doesn’t look good on you or with your outfit. Victoria knows how to complement her own face shape and overall style, so she never looks out of place. To do the same, we recommend rule number three:

3. Fit Your Face

Take a look at your own shape and figure out who you are – long, round or oval? Long faces look great with linear cascade earring designs, while round faces look best with short, drop or cluster earrings. Heart or oval shape faces allow longer, bigger hoops and chandeliers to fill in the space below the chin.

Natural Selection is set to become one of the biggest names in denim. They are aiming high and hitting hard, bringing style and durability to the market on a level that is rarely seen.

The jeans have a fantastic feel to them – no surprise when you consider what goes in to their making! They are made from 14.5oz red selvedge, narrow-width denim from Kurabo Mills in Okayama, Japan. There is a selection of washes available from Raw to their fabulous ‘Broken’ and ‘Buried’ styles.

The beauty of Natural Selection denim does not end there – each pair of jeans features a leather-bound booklet featuring hand-drawn illustrations of the brand’s styles as well as an introduction to the brand and what it stands for.

World-renowned football player David Beckham has been seen to be a fan of the brand. In the early hours of 16th October, Beckham was spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport (London) sporting a pair of the Natural Selection Straight Buried jeans.

It comes as no surprise that Beckham owns a pair of these jeans. Beckham has been known for his ecstatic enthusiasm for fashion and has been seen as a trendsetter of British fashion for over 10 years – and shows no signs of slowing down.

Japanese Denim is becoming more prevalent across premium designer brands, and Japanese designer brands are getting ever more popular. Edwin has been around for a long time and is enjoying growing popularity. Prps, the project of Dowan Harrell (of ex-Nike designer fame) came at the world with huge quantities of style, character and build quality and has never looked back.

Most men are not fastidious about their grooming habits beyond taking a shower and smelling nice except for one particular thing – if they are losing their hair. Balding men are self-conscious about their follically-challenged scalps and go to great pains, like the infamous comb-over, to camouflage their creeping hairlines. The good news is there are some great hair style ideas for bald men that are quite attractive and can be great confidence boosters.

What The Buzz Is All About

For thinning hair, nothing says great camouflage like a buzz cut, sometimes known as a crew cut, flat top, military cut or brush cut. Buzzing the head is one of the first lines of defense and tops hair style ideas for bald men . While you cannot totally hide a receding hair line, the buzz cut hides the fact your hair may be thinning. An electric razor is used and can be set at a variety of depths to shear the hair to your preference – from close to the scalp to a slightly longer length.

A La David Beckham

Among the hair style ideas for bald men include the faux hawk, a cut made stylish and popular by soccer star David Beckham and even movie star Jude Law. For men with receding hairlines at the temples, the faux hawk is both bold and quite masculine. This style leaves a longer length of hair down the center of your head that can be either spiked up with gel or combed back for definition.

Bald Can Be Beautiful

Not every man can carry off a bald head but sometimes being hair-free is tops among hair style ideas for bald men . If your hair is noticeably thin or you have bald patches that cannot be hidden by existing hair in an attractive, reasonable manner, shaving it all off would be the way to go. Of course, shaving the scalp requires routine maintenance for the smooth, sleek appearance, unless you consider stubble on top of your head a **** look. Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel and Michael Jordan all sport bald heads and many people prefer this look on them when comparing them to older pictures with hair.

On The Fringes

For those men who are balding on top but still have healthy, thicker hair around the head, you can work with that too. Among the many hair style ideas for bald men , consider Patrick Stewart of Star Trek fame, Sean Connery and even Dr. Phil who have bald heads but sport a nicely trimmed fringe of hair. Make this pseudo-monk look work for you by sporting nicely trimmed and contoured fringe or even grow a moustache, goatee or beard to draw attention to your follically-challenged head.

Hair style ideas for bald men may be somewhat limited but you still have options that could work for you. Consider the shape of your head and neck as well as the presence of ****** hair or lack thereof when you choose a style.

Susanne Naess, Beauty Development Manager asked:




In today’s fast paced, and modern society I found myself searching for the definition of the term “Metro sexuality” What exactly does this term mean? The stereotypical male is associated with high levels of masculinity and he is generally not too focused on appearance or “feminine toiletries”.

New studies have shown that in recent years, men have developed an increased interest in their appearance. Maybe icons such as David Beckham and Jude Law have influenced the formal male stereotype. David Beckham represents a masculine sportsman who, despite his masculinity, is also very much in touch with his” feminine side”. Beckham is often seen with various new hairstyles, he has also been spotted wearing colourful sarongs and nail varnish.

Today products such as moisturisers, anti wrinkle creams, hair styling products, bronzers, shaving foams and deodorants have all expanded in sales. Last year the research company Data monitor found that British men today spend £1.3 billion a year on grooming products. The overwhelming majority of those purchases are being made by men under 40 who spend £111 a year each on personal beauty products. This is only £27 a year less than what women in the same age bracket would spend!

The past decade has shown a general explosion in the interest of men’s health, which includes caring for the skin. Face masks, exfoliants, cleansers and moisturizers have today been added to the former ‘traditional’ products and just “soap and water”. With the rapid expansion of growth of beauty products amongst younger men, cosmetics giants such as L’Oreal and Novae have been rushing to stock their shelves in cosmetic departments such as Boots, with male hair and face care products.

Not only has the usage and sale of men’s grooming products recently expanded, but also the growth and discovery of men’s grooming salons. Male beauty parlours and spa’s are now offering treatment such as waxing, facials, manicure, massages and even Botox injections!. The traditional spa and beauty treatments, once the exclusive domain of women, are now gaining acceptance and are becoming just as popular amongst males.

With the rise of this new generation’s vanity and the creation of today’s modern man, I found what was to be described as the new kind of male. A male more concerned about taking care of himself, a male not afraid of pampering himself, buying grooming products, or having *******. This has been coined by the new term “Metro sexual”.

The typical metro sexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis as this is where he would find all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual. Professions, such as modelling, waiting tables, media, pop music and even sports, seem to attract them. They have a well established dressing sense and they happily spend money on their appearance to look groomed at all times. However, Metro sexuality isn’t all concerned with cash, or how much money you spend, it is rather all about self indulgence and confidence.
