LACMA，全洛杉磯最難拍的景點沒有之一。
等超久就是為了抓到最少人入鏡的瞬間，結果拍到最後直接崩壞....🤣

LACMA, definitely the most challenging tourist spot for photography in Los Angeles.
Waited so long for the scarce moment with the least passersby before I started to get silly...😂
(Yeah that was also a good chance to show off my strong calves and the mysterious extensibility of human body lol)

⛔ LUYỆN READING NÀO ⛔
THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN'S PLAY
Brick by brick, six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom. Imagining fairy-tale turrets and fire-breathing dragons, wicked witches and gallant heroes, she's creating an enchanting world. Although she isn't aware of it, this fantasy is helping her take her first steps towards her capacity for creativity and so it will have important repercussions in her adult life.
Minutes later, Alice has abandoned the kingdom in favour of playing schools with her younger brother. When she bosses him around as his 'teacher', she's practising how to regulate her emotions through pretence. Later on, when they tire of this and settle down with a board game, she's learning about the need to follow rules and take turns with a partner.
'Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species,' says Dr David Whitebread from the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, UK. 'It underpins how we develop as intellectual, problem-solving adults and is crucial to our success as a highly adaptable species.'
Recognising the importance of play is not new: over two millennia ago, the Greek philosopher Plato extolled its virtues as a means of developing skills for adult life, and ideas about play-based learning have been developing since the 19th century.
But we live in changing times, and Whitebread is mindful of a worldwide decline in play, pointing out that over half the people in the world now live in cities. 'The opportunities for free play, which I experienced almost every day of my childhood, are becoming increasingly scarce,' he says. Outdoor play is curtailed by perceptions of risk to do with traffic, as well as parents' increased wish to protect their children from being the victims of crime, and by the emphasis on 'earlier is better' which is leading to greater competition in academic learning and schools.
International bodies like the United Nations and the European Union have begun to develop policies concerned with children's right to play, and to consider implications for leisure facilities and educational programmes. But what they often lack is the evidence to base policies on.
'The type of play we are interested in is child-initiated, spontaneous and unpredictable- but, as soon as you ask a five-year-old "to play", then you as the researcher have intervened,' explains Dr Sara Baker. 'And we want to know what the long-term impact of play is. It's a real challenge.'
Dr Jenny Gibson agrees, pointing out that although some of the steps in the puzzle of how and why play is important have been looked at, there is very little data on the impact it has on the child's later life.
Now, thanks to the university's new Centre for Research on Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL), Whitebread, Baker, Gibson and a team of researchers hope to provide evidence on the role played by play in how a child develops.
'A strong possibility is that play supports the early development of children's self-control,' explains Baker. 'This is our ability to develop awareness of our own thinking processes - it influences how effectively we go about undertaking challenging activities.'
In a study carried out by Baker with toddlers and young pre-schoolers, she found that children with greater self-control solved problems more quickly when exploring an unfamiliar set-up requiring scientific reasoning. 'This sort of evidence makes us think that giving children the chance to play will make them more successful problem-solvers in the long run.'
If playful experiences do facilitate this aspect of development, say the researchers, it could be extremely significant for educational practices, because the ability to self-regulate has been shown to be a key predictor of academic performance.
Gibson adds: 'Playful behaviour is also an important indicator of healthy social and emotional development. In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can�give us important clues about their well-being and can even be useful in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.'
Whitebread's recent research has involved developing a play-based approach to supporting children's writing. 'Many primary school children find writing difficult, but we showed in a previous study that a playful stimulus was far more effective than an instructional one.' Children wrote longer and better-structured stories when they first played with dolls representing characters in the story. In the latest study, children first created their story with Lego*, with similar results. 'Many teachers commented that they had always previously had children saying they didn't know what to write about. With the Lego building, however, not a single child said this through the whole year of the project.'
Whitebread, who directs PEDAL, trained as a primary school teacher in the early 1970s, when, as he describes, 'the teaching of young children was largely a quiet backwater, untroubled by any serious intellectual debate or controversy.' Now, the landscape is very different, with hotly debated topics such as school starting age.
'Somehow the importance of play has been lost in recent decades. It's regarded as something trivial, or even as something negative that contrasts with "work". Let's not lose sight of its benefits, and the fundamental contributions it makes to human achievements in the arts, sciences and technology. Let's make sure children have a rich diet of play experiences.'

Today we come to the final PART 3⃣ of #TheFatimahShow - DON’T WASTE FOOD!
.
So overall, what have we learned? Wasting food is BAD! Want to reduce waste but also help the needy? SHARE! Wasting food is not okay! Every meal we waste is somebody else’s meal, and that’s being thrown away carelessly! By sharing food with someone in need, you will be doing two good deeds, not wasting food and helping a fellow human.
.
Now, it’s good to share, but that doesn’t mean sharing the leftovers 😁 Those who need help are just like us, and they should be treated equally. Let them eat what we’re eating, not what we don’t want to eat.
.
“When Allah talks about giving to those who are in need of money, food, clothing, etc. in Surah Al-Isra, He doesn’t refer to it as ‘helping the poor’ or ‘giving charity to the poor’. Allah refers to this act as giving them what is their right and what they deserve. It is their right upon me and you and Allah is watching.” - Nouman Ali Khan
.
So to tackle the problems of food waste and scarce food sources in other situations, we share, right? If you know you have excess food, share it with the needy. Or as Dr Auntie suggested, sponsor a meal with PennyAppeal 🧡 Not only will you reduce waste, you will make someone else’s day too!
.
And keep in mind that these acts of goodness should not just be performed in the month of Ramadhan. They should be done all year round! It is only when you keep on doing it that you make it count.
.
At the end of the day, Ramadhan is not a festival of food. Never forget that the real meaning of Ramadhan is to remember those people who are less fortunate than us, not by celebrating it with an extensive amount of food.
.
But above all, remember! We are blessed every day! Look around us. The clothes we are wearing are a blessing, the house we live in is a blessing. Food is definitely a blessing, so we shouldn’t be throwing it away! The world itself is a blessing, so we must take care of it and its inhabitants. Reduce food waste, share with someone needy so that TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!
.

------------------------------
Hello everybody. This is Arisa Kamada.
I’ll show you today the flashy make-up to make your eyes look larger.
Let’s start
To do flashy make-up, the key is to have enough base makeup. I’ll start with the base.
Have it all over your face.
For the foundation, the liquid type is better since it makes the skin matte.
Take some with your finger, apply it gradually and blend it in.
Use the concealer to erase the spots and acne scars.
It gets dark especially around the eyes, so use the concealer to make it brighter.
Use this sponge to blend in the foundation into the skin.
Next, using this powder, the finishing touch for the skin will be done.
When you do flashy makeup, matte skin works better, so I will apply extra powder.
This is how the base makeup is done.
Using this eyebrow liner, I will especially use this middle color to pull the line.
Trace lightly as if you are drawing the outline of the eyebrows.
I will add some minute part using this pencil.
Add some line especially to the corner of the eyebrows and fill in rest.
Key point for doing flashy makeup is to use very light eyebrows mascara.
To make the eyes stand out, color the eyebrows a little light to make it scarce.
When you apply in the opposite direction of the eyebrows, the color will blend in better.
Finally, straighten the flow of the eyebrows.
The eyebrows is done.
I will add color to the cheek.
This by itself looks heavy, but when you put heavy color, it will give good balance to the flashy makeup.
How to apply is, from around the center of the cheek, go sideways.
Blend it in gently with your fingers.
To highlight the eye makeup, when you apply heavy color a little under the cheek, it will give good balance.
Adding some highlighter. Give a thin long stroke to the nose line.
When making flashy eye makeup, giving some highlighter to the top of the eye will give it a 3D look.
Put some highlighter to the jaw.
Using the eye brow liner you used, give some shadow to the nose.
The key to adding shadow to the nose is draw thin and long.
When you draw a line to the top of the nose, your nose will look higher.
To make the eyes look larger, we’ll give some width to the double eyelids, and here we will use this bandage.
First, you cut this into 2mm width.
I usually want to place this in a higher position than the double eyelid; I will take off the foundation here.
Use the cotton swab you used to place the bandage where you took off the foundation.
Do not push it intoo hard, but just place it over, which will spread the width like this.
Having it too much to the inner side of the eye will make it stand out, so place it from the middle to the corner.
Since it’s a flashy makeup, we will use this eye shadow with many glitter.
First, put this eye shadow a little wider than the double eyelid.
When you apply it so that the bandage will disappear, it won’t stand out.
The bottom eyelid should be drawn with a thinner brush.
Use this darker shadow to give gradation to the eye.
I recommend you use a thin brush here, which makes the balance good.
Thinner than the double eyelid, you apply it the a very narrow area.
For the bottom eyelid, give a darker shadow only to the corner of the eye, and little far away from the corner.
Key is to apply a little away from the eye.
I will use the eye liner.
Let’s start from the middle.
Next is the inner corner, and to the outer corner.
Once this is done, pull up the outer corner a little.
Pull up with a little angle will make it look cute.
Just like this.
Drawing the inner corner longer will make the eye look bigger.
Fill in the inner line.
Pull the line as if you are filling in between the eyelashes.
Before you put on the fake eyelashes, be sure to pull up the eyelashes with the curler.
When you clamp it well from the stem, it will make the eye bigger afterwards.
Using the mascara.
Just blend in a little.
Putting the fake eyelashes. When you want flashy makeup, I will recommend ones with some volume and which the corner is long.
Heavy eyelashes will come off easily, so put additional glue.
It is easy to put after it dries out a little.
The key to make the eyes look bigger is to put the eyelashes directly straight.

ヤマハ・XJR（エックスジェイアール）とは、ヤマハ発動機が製造販売している空冷エ ンジン搭載のネイキッドタイプのオートバイであり、シリーズ車種として排気量別に数車 種が生産されている。通称ペケジェイアール、ペケジェイ。
XJR400・XJR400R・XJR400R-II
XJR400は1993年に販売された。以前に発売されていたXJのイメージを踏襲し 、空冷最速のネイキッドを目指して開発された車両である。同時期に発売されていたホン ダ・CB400 SUPER FOURのライバルとして人気を博した。
1995 年に初代から2年を経て「R」を冠したXJR400Rとしてモデルチェンジし、オーリンズのリアサスペンション、ブレンボのフロントブレーキキャリパーが装着された。その後は数年ごとにモデルチェンジを繰り返し、長い間販売され続けていたが、自動車排出ガス規制強化のため2008年9月にメーカーから生産終了か公示された。
なお1996年に小型風防やデジタルメーター、黒メッキマフラーなどを装備した、派生 車種のXJR400R-IIも発売されていたが、既に販売終了している。発売時の人気 が芳しくなく、生産数が少ないため希少車といえる。

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. and XJR (Eccsjeiarl) are motorcycles of a naked type equipped with the air cooled engine to which YAMAHA MOTOR is doing the manufacturing sales, and numerical models are produced as a series model according to the displacement. Alias Pekejeiarl and Pekejei.
XJR400･XJR400R･XJR400R-II
XJR400 was sold in 1993. It is a vehicle that follows the image of XJ that had been put on the market before, aims at naked at the air cooling velocity, and was developed. It was popular as the rival of HONDA and CB400 SUPER FOUR that had been put on the market at a simultaneous period.
"R" was restyled from the founder as crown XJR400R through two years in 1995, and a rear suspension of Orrinz and the reception desk brake caliper of Brembo were installed. It ..production end.. was notified by the manufacturer in September, 2008 for the car exhaust emission regulations strengthening though it kept being sold repeating restyling every several afterwards for a long time.
The sales end has already been done though XJR400R-II of the derivation model equipped with a small windshield, a digital meter, and the black plating muffler, etc. in 1996 was put on the market. Because the popularity when putting it on the market is not fragrant but the number of production is little, it can be called a scarce car.
