Hairstyles For Chubby Women - Exploring Do's and Don'ts

Every now and then, one can see many women exploring the fashion related writings to find a suitable hairstyle for them. And they tend to find the very desired hairstyles galore.

But what if the same hairstyle-hunt is done by some chubby women? Would these chubby women be lucky enough to find some suitable hairstyles?

Even if you take a number of pauses to count all the hairstyles for a chubby women, you may come to see that you have got very few clues.

However, by the time you happen to finish the following lines, you may have many such clues.

Say No To Short : Refrain from getting your hair shorter in length. Unlike long hair, the short hair makes chubby or round face look extra chubby.

Long Never Means "Too Long" : But "long" doesn't mean here to give it a below-shoulder length. Anything touching your shoulders or just above them will be enough to do a wonder.

Say No to Straight Hair Straightway : However, keeping long hair doesn't mean that you will keep it as straight as a stick. Better you give it a curly look. The "curly" type makes a fascinating match with a chubby shape.

Layers, If not Curly : But it could be a possibility that you might not be able to digest a "curly" one. So getting your hair layered can be the best solution. But it is always feasible to have the layers at the front only.

Pretty Pony : Even I have seen many chubby women going for ponytails. Though it is amazing to see whenever they use this particular hairstyle, they do not forget to prefer high ponytails.It looks nice with any type of fashion apparel.

Unique Updos : Apart from ponytails, if you love updos then it is one of the best options to frame your chubby face. But wait... There is something more you have to use with it. The updos should not pull whole of the hair bunch up on the head. It may make you look chubbier. So make sure some curly strands are falling down only to cover you cheeks. This will make you look slimmer.

Use Hairspray : It is ironical that many times chubby women, a sheer contrast, may develop thin hair. Then it becomes tough to retain the layers for long time, so it is advisable to use hairspray, one of the mostly used hair care products. The sprays holds it carefully.

Excellent Extensions : Further, the thin hair is probably the most unwanted thing for a chubby face. Why? They expose the chubbiness even more. So to defy this thinness, you may try to make your hair look a bit "chubby". Strange it sounds! Try hair extensions. Remember please, the fuller your hair, the slimmer your looks!

Bobcut Too Buries Chubbiness : Most people think that getting a bobcut done on hair is always adventurous for a chubby women, so do I. While sporting a bobcut, you successfully end hiding your chubby looks on the face. It is great to see the tips of your hair covering whole of your face and touching your chins.

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla - The Differences Between Fame and Forgotten

I recently saw the movie "The Prestige". The story is about two ferociously rival magicians and is set in the 1890's. A sub-plot in the movie concerns the largely forgotten rivalry between scientists and inventors Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. Entrepreneurs today can learn much from the Edison/Tesla saga.

Thomas Edison is one of the most famous and revered Americans of all time, and deservedly so. School children are taught that he harnessed electricity, invented the light bulb and the phonograph. He was awarded 1093 patents during his long and rewarding creative life. His summer laboratory in Fort Myer, Florida is still a major tourist destination. In addition, Edison earned millions of dollars by commercializing his patents and product innovations. To this day we have all benefited from his genius.

Nikola Tesla, on the other hand, is virtually unknown today. He was born in Serbia, moved to America and became one of the most renowned scientists of his day. He was in many ways, the prototype for the "mad scientist" so often depicted in books and movies. His eccentricity and poor business decisions were the stuff of legends. And yet, Tesla's inventions and scientific advances are as important in our contemporary lives as Edison's.

As a young immigrant scientist Tesla actually worked for Edison. Edison held the patent on Direct Current (DC) and was, as always, aggressively pursuing commercialization of his patents. The famous banker J. P. Morgan was an early financial backer of Edison's DC. Edison constructed a generator in New York City that could provide the miracle of light in homes, including Morgan's Murray Hill mansion. It was considered a wonder of the day.

Tesla, however, recognized that DC had serious limitations, specifically in delivery of electricity across a vast grid. He championed Alternating Current (AC). Edison was furious. AC was a direct attack on his patents. He had no commercial claim to AC power generation. Tesla left Edison and the two great scientists became lifelong enemies.

Tesla introduced his theories on AC to George Westinghouse, another foe of Edison. The two became partners and a race between the devotees of AC and DC current commenced. Westinghouse and Tesla believed AC to be superior to DC because of the arc and greater footprint of power the system could deliver.

Edison, an unusual combination of man of science and excellent business- man, conducted an aggressive; some say savage public relations campaign to support his convictions that DC was the better technology. He conducted public electrocutions of animals in an effort to prove that DC was a safer, cleaner source of power. He even allowed DC to be used in the first electrocution of a death sentence criminal. This public display was botched and the criminal was re-electrocuted in a horrible manner. The public was shocked.

Meanwhile, Tesla was tasked by Westinghouse to harness the power of Niagara Falls to generate safe, widely disseminated electricity by utilizing the AC technology. The test and subsequent grid performance confirmed that AC was the superior technology. Morgan and Edison were forced to purchase interests in AC.

Thomas Edison prospered for the rest of his days. His connections with J.P. Morgan lead to the establishment of General Electric, one of the world's great enterprises to this day. He died rich, revered, and famous.

Tesla was an immense contributor to the evolution of our modern power system. The many scientific tasks involved in electrifying the United States and the world would have occurred much more slowly without his inventions and creativity. Tesla was crucial to the perfection and acceptance of AC, the standard used to this day. And yet Tesla died broke, alone, flustered.

Edison invented the light bulb. However, without electricity delivered widely, safely and affordably the light bulb was of little value. A car without the internal combustion engine is a wagon. Similarly, Tesla's perfection of AC was the tool that made the light bulb so valuable. Tesla's success inadvertently affirmed Edison's legacy.

Edison could sell. He was a genius at self-promotion. He could seek and obtain capital based on his reputation. He had charm and charisma. Edison created a legend for himself.

Tesla had none of these qualities. He made poor business choices. His reputation for being difficult closed many promising commercial doors. Tesla was dark and dour. English was his second language and he was never comfortable in a public format. His science has become obfuscated by his many futuristic predictions. Much of modern pseudo-science and today's UFO acolytes rely on morsels of Tesla's preaching.

The ability to commercialize inventions is the key difference between creative types and successful entrepreneurs. We all know people with vibrant imaginations and inventiveness. We all also know how few of these people succeed at successfully converting imagination into reality.

A successful entrepreneur needs a variety of skills and talents in order to cut through the din of our very competitive marketplace. Successful designers and engineers typically make great employees, unless they can communicate, sell, market and strategize. The inventor lacking in these skills has many other potential routes to success. Licensing, partnering and alliances are viable options.

Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Bill Gates and Ray Kroc are stellar examples of what it takes to succeed. They are multi-talented, adaptable and visionary. Nikola Tesla was a genius, but in only one area. His science is invaluable. Today, the personal, business and historic legacy of Tesla is mostly forgotten. Every student learns about Thomas Edison. It took an afternoon at the movies to remind me fleetingly of Nikola Tesla's important contributions.

The Avatar Movie by James Cameron - Non-Spoiler Review

To encapsulate the Avatar Movie by James Cameron, it promises to be one of the most spectacular and thrilling movies that you have ever seen.

And this promise is backed up by the single fact that the guy directing this $400 million plus movie is none other than Mr. Titanic, James Cameron. Now, this man has an impressive pedigree that resulted in billions of dollars of movies over his career.

His latest project is of course, The Avatar movie. I will give you a little taste of this movie but of course I won't spoil it for you by giving out too much information or revealing the conclusion of the story. That would be mean and it isn't in me to do that sort of thing!

So to continue...

The year is 2154 and Earth has been mining a faraway, Earth-sized moon that has the unfortunate name of Pandora. And the mineral is called, Unobtainium which is the cure for the energy crisis. This mining operation has be ongoing for 30 years and now is encroaching the region that belongs to the indigenous race of humanoids called the Na'vi. They are about 3 meters tall, have a tail and glow in the dark.

As you can imagine, they are NOT happy about the mining operations but Earth is so worried about them that they send in the gung-ho Marines to subdue them.

Unfortunately, the atmosphere of Pandora is quite toxic to humans and there is new technology called, Avatar program that wires up the human mind to an Avatar "skin" which is made up of human and Na'vi DNA to look exactly like the Na'vi, but controlled by the humans on the ship outside of the world. Sort of like the U.S. military controlling the Predator Drones from their bases on the other side of the planet.

So anyway, our hero by the name of Jake Sully cannot use his legs. And the Avatar program is very appealing to him because he enables him to become a wholly functioning being again, as a Na'vi warrior that the military sends into Pandora to infiltrate the Na'vi tribe.

And of course, Jake's Avatar is rescued by a beautiful and lithe Na'vi princess by the name of Neytiri. And of course there are complications when Jake falls in love with her.

So what to do?

Well, I certainly won't spoil it for you! You are definitely going to have to watch the movie. And I don't think you will be disappointed. There are plots within plots. New technology. Beautiful and fascinating flora and fauna plus some really fierce and dangerous animals on Pandora.

With all that going on, you won't lose sight of the message of the movie, that Jake is going to have to make a decision to obey his superiors and destroy the Na'vi people or to lead the Na'vi tribe against the intruders that want to pillage and plunder the natural resources of Pandora at little or no cost to themselves.
