Miss Teen World

A schoolgirl from Liverpool has beaten young beauties from 25 other countries to take the Miss Teen World title in Houston, Texas.
Amy Jackson, 16, from Knowsley Village, told the Liverpool Echo: 'I was completely shocked to win and so happy.
'I really thought I had not made the final five. But then I went on to take the title. I made lots of friends during the competition and may now be going to live in Texas for a year to promote the contest.'
'Shocked': winner Amy didn't think she'd made the final five
Personality and communication counted for a quarter of contestants' scores, with the other three-quarters going to their appearance in evening gown, swimsuit, and 'poise and beauty'.
In contrast to recent 'size zero' model healthcare scandals, Miss Teen World judges stressed health over size: 'Physical fitness should be an important part of everyone's life,' the judges said. 'We are looking for a winner that is in great shape with a healthy respect for her body.'
Amy reached the final after winning the Miss Teen Liverpool and Miss Teen Great Britain contests.
Amy's father, BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Alan Jackson, said: 'The contestants were asked to talk about their home town and obviously Amy was not short of things to say. She mentioned Liverpool FC, Capital of Culture, the Mersey – there is no shortage of things to say about Liverpool.
'We are very proud of Amy and the fact she has done so well in school too.'
Brains and beauty: Amy hopes to study law at university
Hardworking Amy hopes to go on to university and study law - after achieving nine GCSEs passes this summer, five of which were As.
But she will continue modelling in the meantime - with a new UK contract, which she hopes will lead to success in the industry.
Other contestants in the Teen Miss World competition came from countries including Canada, France, Mexico, Korea, South Africa, Russia and the USA.
Amy's prizes include a modelling contract in the USA, a wardrobe of appearance clothes and a years supply of cosmetics and shoes.

Special Skills - Flirting

Frankly speaking flirting is an art and you need special skills to master it. You do not have to be some beauty queen or a celebrity to make guys fall for you and go gaga over you. All you need is your gorgeous smile and few guaranteed flirting tips like the ones you'll find below to attract the opposite sex.

Rule 1 # Eyes have it all:

Lock eyes with the person you're flirting with for a full five to six seconds, then smile and drop your gaze. Please don't stare at him and make him feel embarrassed. Just give him a soft smoldering look and look away. Do this at least three times in a ten to fifteen-minute period. This way you will make him know that you are interested and approachable.

Rule 2 # Smile:

Smiling is absolutely the most effective tool in your flirting toolbox. Psychology and body language experts agree that one of the most important things you can do to make yourself more attractive (and approachable) is to smile.

Rule 3 # Expose your neck:

One of the most winning flirting techniques a woman can use is the exposure of her neck. This can be done with a head tilt to one side, the classic hair flip or the over-the-shoulder glance. According to body language experts this asymmetrical position attracts attention, exposes your neck, and makes a woman very attractive and sexy. The over-the-shoulder move also sends a signal to your target that he is worth a second look.

Rule 4 # Lip Service:

Both men and women are subconsciously attracted to red, moist lips because they signal youth, sex and fertility. Always wear a red lipstick which not only gives your lips that youthful colour, but also makes your smile more visible and your teeth whiter. A super-shiny lip gloss can also give you an advantage, making your lips look moist and kissable.

Rule 5 # Focus, Focus, Focus:

Once you and your flirting target have started talking, use these tips to deepen the attraction. First, smile and maintain eye contact as you are speaking, and focus all of your attention on what he is saying. If you aren't listening then that shows that you are not interested. Smiling and laughing are crucial here - it's the quickest, easiest way to put another person at ease and make a connection. Finally, another effective flirting technique is low-level touching such as brushing the shoulder or elbow.

"We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them". -- Mother Teresa

Slim G4 - World’s Thinnest Mouse

Everything’s now going super slim (apart from me of course). Mobile phones, notebooks and now mice too. The ultra-slim G4 Mouse, just 5mm thick, serves as a perfect tutorial for mobile mouse construction.
The uber-slim mousing instrument of the G4 optical mouse folds perfectly flat in order to fit in your PCMCIA slot when not in use, and when you’re ready, it pops out, ejects a USB cable, and folds into a more ergonomic position for all your mousing needs. It seems it just takes 10 seconds to go from its unbelievably thin structure to being fully usable.
It has a major advantage over a lot of mice, in that the USB cable stores neatly into the mouse when it’s not being used. The 800 DPI mouse boasts a left / right click and a touch-sensitive scroll wheel, is apparently Windows- compatible.
Available in pink, blue and silver colors with matching pouches, the Slim G4 Optical Mouse costs around $50.
