i hide from the sun. I am fair-complexioned. Fortunately i live in California. It's sunny pretty much all the time. Therefore people don't feel they have to go out in the sun just because it's sunny - it's always sunny. In england, if it's sunny, you feel guilty for staying indoors, because it might rain for the next month.
So I stay in with the air-conditioning turned on.

Identificación
Es una rapaz de mediano tamaño, complexión robusta y coloración muy variable, que posee un aspecto bastante rechoncho cuando se la observa posada. En vuelo exhibe unas alas relativamente cortas y muy anchas y una cola no demasiado larga, que frecuentemente despliega en abanico, gracias a lo cual el ave puede practicar durante largo rato un vuelo sostenido que alterna con cernidos ocasionales. Su plumaje presenta numerosas variaciones individuales, por lo que se pueden observar desde individuos muy claros hasta ejemplares bastante oscuros. No obstante, la coloración más típica del adulto es de un tono marronáceo bastante homogéneo en las regiones dorsales y ligeramente más clara en las ventrales, donde aparece una franja pectoral blanquecina de desigual extensión (dibujo 1). En vuelo se hacen patentes unas amplias manchas relativamente claras —muy barradas— coincidentes con las rémiges primarias y secundarias en su cara ventral. Las alas muestran el borde posterior recorrido por una banda oscura, al igual que la cola, que puede aparecer variablemente barrada (dibujo 2). El joven presenta las partes inferiores de desiguales tonos marrones y las coberteras dorsales con bordes pálidos; además, su cola está finamente barrada, pero carece de la ancha banda terminal propia de los adultos. Visto ventralmente, no se aprecia con nitidez el reborde posterior oscuro de las alas, y tanto estas como el cuerpo dan la sensación de estar más estriados que barrados. Finalmente, a diferencia de los adultos, que poseen el iris de color oscuro, el del joven es bastante claro.
Canto
En vuelo emite con frecuencia un grito característico parecido a un maullido: piiiii aaaa.

Can change my complexion
From white to rosy red
Anytime she holds my hand
And tells me that she's mine.

On the eighth night of Navaratri, we focus on Goddess Maha Gauri. As Parvati, She did great penance to gain Shiva as Her husband, and in the process Her complexion turned dark. Pleased with her devotion, Lord Shiva bathed her in the holy water of the Ganges and Her skin turned pure white.
She is the Mother of compassion and peace and reflects the great radiant light within us all. When we renounce our animal qualities and let go of the limitations of our mind, the Mother will bestow Her Grace upon us to help us attain the Divine.

The Simple, Sensible and Scientifically-Proven Routine to Get Glass Skin
Imagine a complexion as perfect as glass: radiant, luminous, and lit from within. It is completely smooth and flawless. It has no blemishes, dark spots, or enlarged pores. Even without makeup or Instagram filters, it exudes a healthy and youthful glow.
This is what K-beauty fans call “glass skin”. Unfortunately, the Korean glass skin routine is often very high maintenance, requiring many products, and lots of time. Let us go back to the basics, and understand what your skin really needs to become smooth, supple and radiant.
Glass Skin vs. Damaged Skin
We cannot find a solution if we do not know the problem. What robs our skin of its natural glow? What damages its texture and appearance, and destroys our chances of achieving the coveted glass skin?
Sun exposure
“Responsible for 90 percent of visible changes to the skin, photoaging is a direct result of cumulative sun damage you’ve been exposed to throughout your life,” says the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Every day, our skin is barraged by invisible UVA and UVB rays, and high energy (HEV) light or blue light. The light waves damage the DNA in our skin cells.
UVB rays, which have the shortest waves, hit the skin surface and cause skin darkening and sunburn. UVA rays penetrate the skin and reach the dermis, destroying collagen. The body rushes to rebuild the skin with elastin — but like all “rushed jobs”, something invariably goes wrong.
“The unusual amounts of elastin result in the production of enzymes called metalloproteinases. These enzymes, which rebuild damaged collagen, often malfunction and degrade the collagen, resulting in incorrectly rebuilt skin. As this process is repeated with daily UVA exposure, the incorrectly rebuilt skin forms wrinkles, and the depleted collagen results in leathery skin,” the Skin Cancer Foundation explains.
While most people are aware of UV damage, scientists have discovered that other light waves can also cause premature skin aging and hyperpigmentation. A study done in 2014 and published in the journal Photodermatology, Photoimmunology & Photomedicine says that any skincare routine should also include protection from HEV and other kinds of solar radiation. HEV, also called Blue light, can damage collagen and elastin, and cause hyperpigmentation.
Lifestyle
Cigarettes, alcohol, unhealthy crash diets and stress can also affect the quality of your skin. “Smoking is second only to sun damage in causing wrinkles and dry skin,” says WebMD. Alcohol and caffeinated drinks like soda and coffee too, depletes nutrients. Crash diets or extreme diets that cut out entire food groups deprives the body of vitamins that you need to produce new skin cells.
Don’t neglect your emotional well-being, too! Dermatologist Marilyn Berzin, MD says, “Stress produces hormones that increase the levels of free radicals in the body, suppresses the immune system, dehydrates the body, and thins the skin.”

John Whitgift (c. 1530 – 29 February 1604) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1583 to his death. Noted for his hospitality, he was somewhat ostentatious in his habits, sometimes visiting Canterbury and other towns attended by a retinue of 800 horsemen. Whitgift's theological views were often controversial.
He was the eldest son of Henry Whitgift, a merchant, of Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, where he was born. His date of birth was probably somewhere between 1530 and 1533. His early education was entrusted to his uncle, Robert Whitgift, abbot of the neighbouring monastery of Wellow, by whose advice he was afterwards sent to St Anthony's School, London. In 1549 he matriculated at Queens' College, Cambridge, and in May 1550 he moved to Pembroke Hall, where the martyr John Bradford was his tutor. In May 1555 he became a fellow of Peterhouse.[1]
Having taken orders in 1560, he became chaplain to Richard Cox, Bishop of Ely, who collated him to the rectory of Teversham, Cambridgeshire. In 1563 he was appointed Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, and his lectures gave such satisfaction to the authorities that on 5 July 1566 they considerably augmented his stipend. The following year he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity, and also became master first of Pembroke Hall and then of Trinity. He had a principal share in compiling the statutes of the university, which passed the great seal on 25 September 1570, and in November following he was chosen as vice-chancellor.
Whitgift's theological views were controversial. An aunt with whom he once lodged wrote later that “though she thought at first she had received a saint into her house, she now perceived he was a devil”. Macaulay's description of Whitgift as "a narrow, mean, tyrannical priest, who gained power by servility and adulation," is rhetorical and exaggerated; but undoubtedly Whitgift's High Church beliefs led him to treat the Puritans intolerantly. In a pulpit controversy with Thomas Cartwright, regarding the constitutions and customs of the Church of England, his oratorical effectiveness proved inferior, but was able to exercise arbitrary authority. Together with other heads of the university, he deprived Cartwright of his professorship, and in September 1571 Whitgift exercised his prerogative as master of Trinity to deprive him of his fellowship also. In June of the same year Whitgift was nominated Dean of Lincoln. In the following year he published An Answere to a Certain Libel entitled an Admonition to the Parliament, which led to further controversy between the two churchmen. On 24 March 1577, Whitgift was appointed Bishop of Worcester, and during the absence of Sir Henry Sidney in Ireland (1577) he acted as vice-president of Wales.
In August 1583 he was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury to replace Edmund Grindal, who had been placed under house arrest after his disagreement with the Queen over 'prophesyings' and died in office. Whitgift placed his stamp on the church of the Reformation, and shared Elizabeth's hatred of Puritans. Although he wrote to Queen Elizabeth remonstrating against the alienation of church property, Whitgift always retained her special confidence. In his policy against the Puritans, and in his vigorous enforcement of the subscription test, he thoroughly carried out the queen's policy of religious uniformity.
He drew up articles aimed at nonconforming ministers, and obtained increased powers for the Court of High Commission. In 1586 he became a privy councillor. His action gave rise to the Martin Marprelate tracts, in which the bishops and clergy were strongly opposed. Through Whitgift's vigilance the printers of the tracts were discovered and punished; and in order to prevent the publication of such opinions he got a law passed in 1593 making Puritanism an offence against the statute law. In the controversy between Walter Travers and Richard Hooker he prohibited the former from preaching; and he presented Hooker with the rectory of Boscombe in Wiltshire, in order to afford him more leisure to complete his Ecclesiastical Polity, a work which in the end did not represent either Whitgift's theological or his ecclesiastical standpoint.
In 1595, in conjunction with the Bishop of London and other prelates, he drew up the Calvinistic instrument known as the Lambeth Articles, which were not accepted by the church. Whitgift attended Elizabeth on her deathbed, and crowned James I. He was present at the Hampton Court Conference in January 1604, in which he represented 8 bishops.
He died at Lambeth the following February. He was buried in Croydon at the Parish Church of St John Baptist, but his monument there, with his recumbent effigy, was practically destroyed when the church was burnt down in 1867.
Whitgift is described by his biographer, Sir George Paule, as of "middle stature, strong and well shaped, of a grave countenance and brown complexion, black hair and eyes, his beard neither long nor thick." He left several unpublished works, which are included among the Manuscripts Angliae. Many of his letters, articles, injunctions, etc. are calendared in the published volumes of the "State Paper" series of the reign of Elizabeth. His Collected Works, edited for the Parker Society by John Ayre (3 vols., Cambridge, 1851-1853), include, besides the controversial tracts already alluded to, two sermons published during his lifetime, a selection from his letters to Cecil and others, and some portions of his unpublished manuscripts.
Croydon was the site of a palace which was used as a summer retreat by Archbishops of Canterbury in those days. Whitgift set up there a charitable foundation, which still exists as The Whitgift Foundation.[2] It supports homes for the elderly and infirm, and runs three independent schools – Whitgift School, founded in 1596[3], Trinity School of John Whitgift and, more recently, Old Palace School for girls, which is housed in the palace buildings once used by him.
Whitgift Street, near Lambeth Palace (the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury), is named after him.
A comprehensive school in his home town of Grimsby is named after him.
