THE JOYS OF WORKING FROM HOME

MY JOYS OF WORKING FROM HOME

NOT GETTING STUCK IN 9 TO  5.

1. enjoy the ease and flexibility of working the hours you choose to work, late into the evening one day and starting in the afternoon on another day.

2. I like to work with very small teams that can easily be organised and the work done quickly and published fast

3. working at a pace that is comfortable for you has never been easier, take on work at a pace which you are comfortable with and increase that workload as you desire to a pace you can happily deal with.

4. easier to fit in working from home with family comitments.

THIS IS NO MUSLIM

AMERICAN APPAREL'S CREATIVE DIRECTOR EXPLAINS THE 'MADE IN BANGLADESH' CAMPAIGN

Iris Alonzo on the controversial advertisement's mission.

 201

The campaign will appear in both US and UK Vice next month.

Like many before it, struggling retailer American Apparel's latest campaign has stirred plenty of controversy. Set to run in the UK and U.S. editions ofVice next month, the ad depicts Maks -- a merchandiser who has worked at the vertically integrated company since 2010 -- topless, with the words "Made in Bangladesh" printed in Helvetica across her chest. (A hint of nipple is strategically peeking out from under the "in".)

Maks is a former Muslim who was born in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, but she has lived in southern California since the age of four. In a few wordy paragraphs below the photo, American Apparel tells Maks's story, and also details the jeans she's wearing, unbuttoned. ("Maks was photographed in the High Waist Jean, a garment manufactured by 23 skilled workers in Downtown Los Angeles, all of whom are paid a fair wage and have access to basic benefits such as healthcare," it says.)

Unsurprisingly, the web had mixed feelings about Maks, with one publication calling the ad "bizarre" and another deeming it "pretty cool." The most thoughtful commentary, however, came from Fashionista contributor Tanwi Nandini Islam on Elle.com. "Maks is as Made in America as American Apparel. Her unabashed nudity is a tacit reminder—this is what American Apparel looks like. This is what our fantasy of what Made in Bangladesh looks like. Not a poor, underpaid, overworked young woman making you a $5 shirt for 30 cents an hour," said Islam, who was born in Bangladesh and actually wrote the rebuttal while on a month-long visit to the country. "This ad has little to do with the woman in front of us, and everything to do with the Bangladeshi female garment worker who remains invisible."

Islam's point should be considered seriously, but I can't help but wondering if she is taking American Apparel to task for something it shouldn't be criticized for, at least not under these circumstances. This is, after all, an advertisement for clothing. (Maks is half naked, but those jeans do look great.) And while American Apparel obviously wants to point out that, as a company, it pays its employees fairly -- especially when compared to factories in Bangladesh -- an advertisement might not be the right avenue to directly attack Bangladesh's garment industry, or even shine a light on the workers who keep it going. I recently emailed back and forth with American Apparel creative director Iris Alonzo about the campaign. While her responses certainly won't diminish Islam's concerns, they do make the advertisement's mission clearer:

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un

A woman in Bangladesh gave birth in a factory restroom after being told she could not leave her job making shoes, the woman, Hamida Akter, survived, but her newborn child was dead on arrival at a nearby hospital.

Officials in Kaliakair Upazila, where the factory is located, said Akhter had asked to leave Saturday because she wasn’t feeling well, but the request was denied by her supervisor, identified as Ratan Miah. She was later found, with the newborn, in a factory restroom.

What society have we become? Where profits matter more than human well being and life itself. Are we as Muslims losing our values in the pursuit of others?

Capitalism cares about output and profit and is a vulture of a system and way of life. It strips people bare to think and act differently. We need to reconnect to our roots - Islam and its system and way of life

May Allah (swt) bestow sabr and tranquility on the woman, and may Allah (swt) accept the unborn child into Jannah to be looked after Ibrahim (as).

Diet Pepsi Will No Longer Contain Aspartame…But that’s Not Enough

BY SHARON FEIEREISEN ON MAY 7, 2015 8:00 AM

One of the biggest “jokes” is the fact that Diet Pepsi is called “diet” when countless studies have shown that diet sodas actually lead to weight gain! Despite what Michelle Obama would like you to believe, it’s not just about calories in and calories out. In fact calories are far from created equally – i.e. 100 calories in fruit is in no way the same thing as 100 calories from Snickers. You’d be better off having 500 calories from fruit than you would be having just 100 from a processed candy bar because calories from natural produce are calories that your body can actually use and process easily.

Unfortunately while Obama is telling our kids that if only they did a few jumping jacks and ate less they’d lose weight, the truth is that processed foods (and the food served in cafeterias) is so loaded with hidden sugars that it’s almost impossible not to overindulge. Fed Up, a documentary that sheds the spotlight on this, should be mandatory viewing for everyone, especially kids. The American food industry is responsible for more sickness than most of us have previously realized. Why? Because money talks and food giants – like Pepsi – have a seemingly endless supply of it, allowing them to exert an inordinate amount of power in Washington. If only Obama spent her energy trying to change the fact that food giants take zero accountability for the social costs of their mission to get us addicted to the processed foods they’re churning out…

Now in response to dropping sales, Pepsi announced that it would remove the artificial sweetener aspartame from all their diet sodas sold in the US, and replace it with sucralose (i.e. the stuff behind Splenda) and acesulfame potassium. Unfortunately any way you dice it, these artificial sweeteners will lead to weight gain (not to mention the possible connections to cancers, tumors, and thyroid issues that some studies have purported). Do yourself a favor: cut out all diet soda!! The zero-calorie claim is little more than a marketing gimmick, and it’s an unfortunate truth that brands are allowed to push products like these under the pretense that they are diet-friendly.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FOUNDATION DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A DAUNTING EXPERIENCE

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FOUNDATION DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A DAUNTING EXPERIENCE.

1. Do ask for samples to try out at home before you buy your foundation as lots of bottles of foundation is the last thing anyone wants.

2.Foundations tend to be grouped in 3 colour groups.

- pinks

- yellows and 

- neutrals

3.Face powders are always a good  idea to help foundations .

4. Face powders come in different shades and also translucent. definitely go for a light translucent powder for a light and natural coverage.

5. Most people tend to go for a heavy foundation coverage in the winter and a light base coverage in the summer.

6. If you dont need to use a foundation dont be shy just to use it on the problem areas of your skin , instead of all over.   

7. It is a good idea to use a concealer under the foundation, under your eyes and on the problem areas of your skin.
