Are you dreaming to become a "Snow White" just like the beautiful princess in the fairy tale? You may be born with light or dark skin color, but it can change as long as you take the right measures. I used to have darker skin color when I was younger but it's gotten lighter as I got older. Here are some tips for skin whitening:
Tip 1. Cleaning is the first step of skin whitening. It is also one of the most important steps. Because the skin may produce sweat, oil, fat, and aged sebum in the process of metabolism. These metabolites blend with the wastes in the environment and then form a "dump" on the surface of the skin. So it is necessary to wipe out all the wastes first. I suggest applying scrub scream twice a week, and whitening salt when showering. Tamarind pulp and tangerine can well improve dark skin condition. Tea polyphone in green tea has the function of moisturizing, warming and anti-oxidation.
Tip 2. Body membrane and moisturizing milk. Immediately after showering when your body still maintain the heat, apply somebody membrane which contains herbal extract or essence. In no time, your skin will resume tender and smooth.
Vitamin C can protect your skin from pigmentation, and stimulate the generation of collagen in the dermis layer, which has the function of whitening and smoothening your skin. Vitamin A can enter the nucleus and whiten the skin in result of the combination of elastin and collagen.
Tip 3. Diet properly. Beauty comes from the interior to the exterior. So keeping the proper diet is an indispensable part of skin whitening. It takes time and patience, but it's the most natural and beneficial way of whitening. Foods that contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, protein, and mineral substances are the best choice of whitening diet. You are encouraged to consume them uncooked or boiled.
For instance, lemon is rich in Vitamin C. One glass of lemon juice every morning can help you remove your body wastes and also whiten your skin naturally. Another example is vinegar egg juice. An egg a day keeps melanin away. In the long run, your skin will become as tender and smooth as little babies.
Having white skin is not just a dream. Practice makes perfect. Believe me, you are the next "Snow White".
I wasn't trying to get a beautiful image here; this truck has always fascinated me. It is so out of place where it is parked, which is the parking lot of Meijer on West Main (Meijer is like a Tesco or a Super Walmart, for those of you not in the Midwest). All around are the shiny, colorful beetles of the shoppers, then there is this *thing.*
I've never seen it running but I'll bet that it could do serious damage to a shopping cart ("buggy" or "trolley" for those of you not from around here).

Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari is a Catholic church on Calle de Fernán González in Burgos, Spain, located next to the Camino de Santiago, in front of the cathedral. Since the Church of San Esteban was turned into a museum, it has served as the seat of the parish of San Esteban. The church was built in 1408, replacing another Romanesque temple. It contains notable examples of fifteenth century Castilian Renaissance art by Simón de Colonia and his son Francisco. Also of great interest are the Gothic tombs, and the Renaissance arc by María Sáez de Oña and Fernando de Mena. The church became a Bien de Interés Cultural listed building on 26 January 1917.

The utilitarian pavilion, bar and function room building at Dill Hall Lane, Clayton-le-Moors home to Enfield Cricket Club. In 2017, Enfield took £250,000 over the bar; a tribute to the club committee's hard work in ensuring a constant flow of bookings. Captured during a seven-wicket defeat by Lancashire League rivals Walsden.
Opting to bat, Enfield struggled for runs. Professional Shashrika Pussegolla hit a fairly laboured 78 but the next highest contribution was extras (21), a reflection of weak batting. Walsden were in no hurry to reach their modest target. After taking 2-28, Jake Hooson opened the batting and top-scored with 67 not out. Nick Barker departed three runs shy of a half-century. Thankfully, professional Umesh Karunaratne wasn't in a mood to dawdle and injected some urgency in hastening the visitors towards a comprehensive win. Umesh, unbeaten on 40, clinched victory with a big six.
Match statistics:
Admission: £4. Programme: teamsheet (w/a). Attendance: 80. Enfield won the toss and elected to bat. Enfield 184-8 off 50 overs (Shashrika Pussegolla 78, Umesh Karunaratne 4-42, Jake Hooson 2-28) 0pts lost by seven wickets to Walsden 190-3 off 43.4 overs (Jake Hooson 67 not out, Nick Barker 47, Umesh Karunaratne 40 not out, Fergus Bailey 2-40) 10pts. Umpires: Steve Kirkbright and Phil Keating.
Enfield Cricket Club were formed in 1859, and the following year played the first games on a part of what is now their Dill Hall Lane ground. The site was levelled in 1860. The first recorded game at the venue, on the border of Clayton-le-Moors and Accrington, was on May 28th that year. The visitors were Church & Oswaldtwistle. In 1892, Enfield became founder members of the Lancashire League. The club are still members today. Enfield have engaged professionals since 1859. Arthur Appleby, from Clayton-le-Moors, was the club's first professional. He went on to play for Lancashire, and toured Canada and the US with an MCC squad also featuring W.G. Grace. Appleby played his final game for Enfield in 1902. He was 59. During the first two decades of the Lancashire League, Tom Lancaster was Enfield's star player. He set batting and bowling aggregate records that still stand. Famous players to have worn Enfield's colours over the years include Eddie Paynter (he played in the 'Bodyline' Test series), Clyde Walcott, Conrad Hunte, Dik Abedspent, Madan Lal, Damien Fleming, Shane Lee (Brett's older brother), Martin van Jaarsveld and Alviro Petersen. Enfield have topped the Lancashire League on five occasions, in 1909, 1943, 1968, 1971 and 1977. They lifted the league's knockout Worsley Cup trophy in 1978, 1979, 1989 and 1991, and were beaten finalists in 1953, 1973 and 1977.

Banksy. A mysterious British artist known for his humorous and political street art. The Banksy exhibition at Moco contains several of his infamous street pieces, as well a large number of his indoor works, including work on canvas. One of these is his giant 'Beanfield' painting, a beautiful piece that is displayed on the ground floor. An impossible-to-miss eye-catcher as you enter the Banksy exhibition. Other highlights include 'Girl with Balloon', 'Laugh Now' and 'Keep It Real'. The Banksy collection at Moco Museum: come check it out!
The Modern Contemporary (Moco) Museum has made its home in Villa Alsberg, a townhouse overlooking Museumplein in the heart of Amsterdam. The building was designed in 1904 by Eduard Cuypers, nephew of the renowned Pierre Cuypers who designed Amsterdam's Central Station and the Rijksmuseum, which is at the opposite end of the square. This privately-owned residence was one of the first family homes built along Museumplein and retained this function until 1939. Subsequently, the house was let to priests who taught at the Saint Nicolas School in Amsterdam, and later it was converted into an office for a law firm.
No effort is spared to ensure that this breathtaking mansion makes an impact on visitors, adding an extra layer to the Moco experience. There is one small drawback, though: charming as the building is, its compact size does mean it can feel crowded during peak hours.
The Moco Museum is a private initiative of Lionel and Kim Logchies. The exhibited works of art are on loan from their carefully cultivated international network of art collectors. Part of the proceeds from the museum will be donated to charities that are close to the hearts of the initiators.

EVENT NAME – Major Builders Christmas Function 2018
EVENT DATE – Friday, 7th December 2018
EVENT LOCATION – Sydney Design Studio
This building has a brick front facade and is constructed in an Art Deco design with a curved stepped parapet. The brickwork has now been painted but the overall character is retained of an original Art Deco building.
The garage was constructed around 1940 and the building was used until recent years as a mechanic workshop (Wilcannia Auto Repairs); which is appropriate given its original function, as a regional garage.
This structure is one of a small number of inter-war buildings in Wilcannia, and its detailing echoes the prevailing aesthetics of the day, reflecting the growth of Wilcannia at that time based on the prosperity of the wool industry.
Aboriginal History of Wilcannia:
Wilcannia is located on the Darling River, about halfway between Bourke and Wentworth. The river is known as Barka by the local Aboriginal people or Barkandji, literally people belonging to the Barka, and it is surrounded on all sides by Barkandji speaking people. The people from along the Barka and varying distances either side from near Bourke down to Wentworth all recognised the Barkandji language as their primary language, but they were divided into subgroups with different dialects of this one language. The Barkandji language is very different from all the neighbouring languages including the adjoining Ngiyampaa/Ngemba to the east, the Kulin, and Murray River languages to the south, and the Yardli and Thura-Yura language groups to the west and north.
Barkandji have a unique culture and depended heavily on the grinding or pounding of seeds on large grinding dishes or mortars and pestles, such as grass, portulaca, and acacia seeds. In the riverine areas, there is a strong emphasis on aquatic plant food tubers and corms, and fish, yabbies, turtles, mussels, and shrimps as well as water birds and their eggs. Insect foods were also important, such as parti or witchetty grubs along the rivers and creeks, and termite larvae in the Mallee country. Large and small canoes were cut out, necessitating ground edge axes, and string manufacture for fish nets, hunting nets, bags, and belts was an important part of the culture. The Wilcannia area still shows tangible evidence of traditional life in the form of canoe trees, coolamon trees, middens, heat retainer ovens, ashy deposits, stone tool quarries and artefacts.
Thomas Mitchell led the first exploring party to reach Wilcannia and gave the Barkandji their first unpleasant taste of what was to come. Mitchell travelled via the Bogan to the Darling River near Bourke and then down the river to Wilcannia then Menindee, reaching it in July 1835. Mitchell was harassed by Barkandji as he did not understand that he had to properly negotiate permission for use of water, grass, land to camp on etc., and in addition his men were abusing women behind his back and breaking all the rules. He gave them names such as the Fire Eaters and the Spitting Tribe as they tried to warn him off. His comments show that the Barkandji groups he met occupied "different portions of the river", and that they owned the resources in their territories including the water in the river. The exclusive possession enjoyed by the Barkandji and the need to obtain permission before using any of their resources is demonstrated by the following comment about the "Spitting Tribe" from the river near Wilcannia:
"The Spitting Tribe desired our men to pour out the water from their buckets, as if it had belonged to them; digging, at the same time a hole in the ground to receive it when poured out; and I have more than once seen a river chief, on receiving a tomahawk, point to the stream and signify that we were then at liberty to take water from it, so strongly were they possessed with the notion that the water was their own"
A hill 15 kilometres north of Wilcannia was named Mount Murchison by Mitchell and this became the name of the very large original station that included the location that was to become Wilcannia township.
In 1862 the area northwest of Mount Murchison Station was still frontier country with continual conflict. Frederic Bonney was based at Mount Murchison homestead and then nearby Momba homestead from 1865 to 1881 and he bluntly states in his notebooks that in this period "natives killed by settlers - shot like dogs"
Bonney recorded extensive detail about the lives, language, culture, and personalities of the Aboriginal people at Mount Murchison/Momba and left us with extremely significant series of photos of Aboriginal people taken in this period. He does not elaborate about the way the station was set up except for his comment above. Frederic Bonney not only respected and looked after the local people but he sympathised with them, worked with them, and respected them. The Bonney papers and photographs are a treasure of information about the Aboriginal people living there between 1865 and 1881. Bonney published a paper in 1884 but long after he had returned to England to live he campaigned for the better treatment of the Aboriginal people, and he tried to educate the public about the complexity of Aboriginal culture.
Bonney names about 44 individual Aboriginal people living at Momba in this period, and one group photo from the same period shows a total of 38 people. Descendants of some of the people Bonney describes still live in Wilcannia and surrounding areas today.
Aboriginal people worked on Moomba and Mount Murchison Station, and from very early times fringe camps grew up around Wilcannia. The land straight across the River from the Wilcannia post office was gazetted as an Aboriginal Reserve, and this became the nucleus of a very large fringe camp that grew into a substantial settlement spaced out along the river bank in the 1930s to the 1970s. By 1953 the Aboriginal Welfare Board had built a series of 14 barrack-like and inappropriately designed houses in an enlarged reserve, now an attractive tree lined settlement known as the Mission (although never a mission it was beside a Catholic School and clinic, thus the name). Today Aboriginal people are the majority of the population of the vibrant, creative, and culturally active town of Wilcannia, and the main users of the post office facilities.
Wilcannia History:
The first secure pastoralists at Mount Murchison were the brothers Hugh and Bushby Jamieson of Mildura Station on the Murray, who in 1856 took up Tallandra and Moorabin blocks, later extended with other blocks and named Mount Murchison Station. Captain Cadell's paddlesteamer Albury was the first to travel up the Darling, landing flour and other stores for the Jamiesons at Mount Murchison in February 1859. The Albury then loaded 100 bales of wool from their woolshed and brought it down to Adelaide. At this time there were no other stations on the Darling between Mt Murchison and Fort Bourke. A little later:
"An enterprising attempt has just been made by Mr. Hugh Jamieson, of Mount Murchison, to bring fat sheep speedily to Adelaide. Mr. Jamieson having chartered Captain Cadell's steamer, Albury, that vessel was prepared, and received on board at Mildura 550 fine fat sheep. These were landed at Moorundee last Tuesday, after a rapid passage of two days, all the sheep being in splendid condition when put ashore"
Jamiesons sold in 1864 to Robert Barr Smith and Ross Reid from Adelaide. The brothers Edward and Frederic Bonney were leasing some adjacent blocks and possibly worked at Mount Murchison for these owners. In 1875 they bought the Mount Murchison/Momba complex, one of the largest stations in New South Wale. In 1865 it was known as Mount Murchison, in 1881 it was all known as Momba, later splitting into smaller stations. The original Mount Murchison Station homestead block was also known as Head Station or Karannia, the Barkandji name for the area just north of the town near where the Paroo River comes into the Barka. The original Mount Murchison woolshed was located on what is now Baker Park, Wilcannia, which is adjacent to the current Post Office.
The site of Wilcannia was selected on Mount Murchison Station in 1864 by John Chadwick Woore, who was appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands of the Albert District in 1863 and was based at Wilcannia. The town was proclaimed in 1866 and in the 1870s it became a coaching centre for prospectors exploiting the region's gold, copper, silver, and opal resources, and the administrative, service, and shipping centre for the pastoral industry. Wilcannia was incorporated as a municipality in 1881, and around this time it became New South Wales biggest inland port and Australia's third largest inland port (after Echuca Victoria and Morgan South Australia). 'The Queen of the River' or 'Queen City of the West'. At the height of its prosperity around 1880, the town boasted a population of 3,000. According to the Register of the National Estate, during 1887 alone, 222 steamers took on 26,550 tonnes of wool and other goods at Wilcannia wharves. The value of goods coming down the Darling River in 1884 was 1,359,786 pounds, and included over 30,000 bales of wool. The customs house, another Wilcannia stone building now demolished, located immediately between the Post office and the river bank and wharfs, took 17,544 pounds in customs duties in 1889. Paddlesteamers gradually declined, particularly after the 1920s, although a few continued to trade up and down the river into the 1940's, still remembered by elderly Wilcannia residents.
Wilcannia in the 1870s and into the 1900s was the centre of the pastoral and mining boom of the far west of New South Wales, and it was the centre of the paddlesteamer river trade from the Upper Darling to the Murray River and outlets such as Adelaide and Melbourne. The frequent dry seasons and lack of water in the river led to other methods of transporting goods being used, such as camel trains, but when the water came down the river trade always returned. The river trade built Wilcannia's fine buildings, but it was also its undoing, as the New South Wales government intervened to reduce the river trade because goods were moving to and from Adelaide and Melbourne, not Sydney.
Plans to improve navigation on the river were suggested in 1859 after Captain Cadell's first successful voyage up the Darling that was followed by other paddlesteamers. Cadell gave evidence at a New South Wales Select Committee that the Darling would be become reliable for boats if a system of locks were built at very reasonable cost that would hold back water during the drier seasons. The plans to build locks along the Darling River to make navigation more consistent were investigated again and again, but were not realised because the New South Wales government believed trade would benefit Victoria and South Australia.
After the opening of the Sydney to Bourke railway line in 1885, Wilcannia lost its status as the major commercial centre of the Darling River. The trade from the far North West New South Wales then tended to go to the railhead at Bourke and straight to Sydney. There were plans in the 1880s for the railway to be run from Cobar to Wilcannia, however this plan was continuously put off. Plans for a railway to Wilcannia continued to be made throughout the 1890's and early 1900's, and including a proposal from Cobar to Broken Hill then linking to South Australia as the Great Western Railway. In 1907 "a large petition was forwarded to Sydney from Wilcannia for presentation to the Premier urging immediate construction of the Cobar-Wilcannia Railway, and subsequent extension to Broken Hill".
The New South Wales government attempt to stop trade leaking out of the state resulted in their refusal to build a railway to Wilcannia (as goods tended to go to Wilcannia and down the river), or to extend the railway to South Australia for the same reasons. The bend in the river on the north side of town celebrates this government intransigence by its name "Iron Pole Bend", the iron pole said to have been placed at the surveyed location of the proposed railway bridge. New South Wales eventually built a railway through the low population Ivanhoe route to the south of Wilcannia reaching Broken Hill in 1927, and even then it stopped at Broken Hill and did not join the South Australian line until 1970. The link between Broken Hill and the South Australian railway was provided from 1884 to 1970 by the narrow gauge private railway 'the Silverton Tramway', which also took trade from Wilcannia.
The combination of missing out on the railway and locking of the river, the severe drought on 1900 - 1901, and the damage to the pastoral economy by drought, rabbits, and over grazing, led to a down turn in Wilcannia's prospects, leaving the fine stone buildings such as the post office languishing as tangible reminders of a time when Wilcannia was known as the "Queen City of the West" and was the largest inland port in New South Wales and the third largest inland port in Australia.

I added a function to this build. The bombable wall that allows you to reach the Great Fairy who gives you Nayru's Love now has an exploding feature! The wall breaks in half when you flick that red cone.
I will have a full demonstration when I post the creation. I also rebuilt all the rockwork so it looks much better now. Another update to come soon!
