Uses of coriander leaves for hair

FIFTY years ago Charles Street was still fashionable. Now it is impossible. Then it signified peace and position. Now teamsters and the trolley rumble and jangle in undisputed possession. It was once, for Boston, a broad, quiet street which people loved on account of its proximity to the water. Especially were the houses on the west side preferred. There, behind plain brick fronts many a rich family lived a placid and luxurious existence. Some of those houses are left to-day, islands in the ocean of a roaring trade. Their occupants might be called prisoners of the past, marooned by tradition, memory, or habit, into inherited homes. One of these mansions, whose back may be said to front on the Charles River Basin, had been the home of Nathaniel Morley of East India fame. The days of the old merchant princes have passed away, and have left behind them their priceless carved teak, imperial jade ornaments, silk brocades, and sandal-wood chests; their descendants maintain an unassailable … [Read more...] about The Tangent of a Crime

MARCH, 1905 BY MARGARET SHERWOOD I UNDER the sun-smitten branches of the woodland and along the open road that curved, all golden with dust, over hill and through hollow, the warm air was full of the breath of pine and juniper and fern, and of the poignant sweetness of the sea. Now leaf shadows fell on the face of the girl who was being driven rapidly in a light carriage toward the east, and then the full sunlight of June lay there. The beat, beat, beat of the horse’s hoofs seemed to set the world in motion; the quick, uneven wind, the fluttering yellow butterflies, the slow black wings of crows overhead, even the gently floating white clouds against the dim blue, were to her full of the sudden joy of those that move and escape. Leaning back in her seat she closed her eyes, opening them now and then to steal a half fearful glance to the right, where, between dark tree trunks or beyond the gray-green tangles of a bit of moorland, the sea lay, incredibly blue. This undreamed … [Read more...] about The Coming of the Tide

Criminal Minds’ cancellation was thankfully short-lived, having only been off our screens for two years when the revival was announced. The hugely-popular long-running drama follows officers in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) as they explore the behaviour of criminals. The 16th season, which will run on Paramount Plus , will focus on officers in the BAU as they are faced with their greatest threat yet, a criminal who has used the pandemic and lockdown to build up a network of serial killers. And the cast is wasting no time in getting back to action, with Paget Brewster sharing a pic of herself in the hair and make-up chair getting ready to transform into Emily Prentiss. Sharing a glam snap on Twitter, the 53-year-old actress said: ‘Oh, hi Guys !! This is my first ⁦@criminalminds⁩ hair and make up from this morning…. ‘I hope you’re all excited for a slightly older, sassier, no filters, grey-haired Prentiss. And if you aren’t, that’s cool, just tell … [Read more...] about Criminal Minds revival filming officially underway and fans are ‘crying’ with excitement

Kylie Jenner turns 25 today (August 10) and despite being the youngest sibling in the Kardashian clan , she's gone on to be one of the most successful. The reality star and businesswoman has gone from being a goofy 10-year-old to a make-up mogul and mother of two. As she turns 25, Kylie looks a world away from what she did when she first hit our screens on Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007. Antonia Mariconda, the founder of Safety in Beauty , a UK organisation founded to raise awareness of unsafe activities within aesthetics, told the Daily Star that Kylie's physical transformation is "almost certainly" unnatural. She said: “When you compare Kylie Jenner’s face from 10 years ago, to what she looks like today she is almost unrecognisable, and that transformation almost certainly goes beyond ‘natural maturing’." Alongside a group of other aesthetic professionals, Antonia has given us the breakdown of exactly what procedures Kylie has likely had done, and when she … [Read more...] about Kylie Jenner’s plastic surgeries in full – before and after pictures as she turns 25

ORNITHOLOGY is one of the natural sciences, the study of which may be said to be enjoined by Holy Writ. For in the good book the fowls of the air are set before us as a pattern of right living. “Behold them,” said the Master; and he meant to say, “ Do as they do.” Well, one of the most strikingly characteristic of their doings is their annual flight toward the tropics as the frost begins to show its hand in the so-called temperate region where they were born, and where, with a patriotism that one must often wonder at, they continue to claim a residence. As years and wisdom increase, I grow better and better persuaded that their example is a good one; and being so persuaded, here I am again in Florida. I have followed the birds; for how is a man to behold them, unless he goes where they are ? I arrived on Friday, two days before Christmas. Two days before that, having a few hours between trains in Washington (how happy are our exemplars, I often think, who make the passage by the … [Read more...] about A Bay-Window in Florida

II THE first characteristics which the book of Grotius revealed were faith and foresight. Great as it was, — the most beneficent among all volumes not claiming divine inspiration, — yet more wonderful than the book itself was the faith of its author. In none of the years during which he meditated it, and least of all during the years when it was written, could any other human being see in the anarchic darkness of the time any tribunal which could recognize a plea for right reason in international affairs, or enforce a decision upon it. The greatness of Grotius lies first of all in the fact that he saw in all this darkness one court sitting supreme to which he might make appeal, and that court—the heart and mind of man. What the darkness was which his eye alone could pierce was stated in his preface. He says: “I saw many and grave causes why I should write a work on that subject. I saw in the whole Christian world a license of fighting at which even barbarous nations might blush. … [Read more...] about The Warfare of Humanity With Unreason: Hugo Grotius

The public forms its impressions of the administration of the criminal law in the county of New York—very naturally—from the accounts it reads of important and intricate cases, and therefore—very naturally, again—believes that defendants languish long in prison, awaiting trial; that the majority of them go free, or that, if convicted, the punishment of most of them is either defeated or delayed by technicalities and appeals. As a matter of fact, these impressions are entirely erroneous, so far as the general enforcement of the criminal law in New York County is concerned. During the year 1903, the average length of time between a defendant’s arrest for felony and his trial—in cases where he was imprisoned awaiting trial—was less than two weeks. There were 2400 convictions by plea or verdict, to 615 acquittals; while out of 11,011 convictions during the five years 1898 to 1902 inclusive, the number of appeals brought to hearing was only ninety-five, and out of that number the ratio of … [Read more...] about In the District Attorney’s Office

Standing before the door of his long-established but modest emporium, his ample form flanked by windows displaying hoes and pancake flour, boys’ suits and writing-paper, washboards and cigars, while a garish sign, “General Merchandise” creaked above, the pioneer proprietor pointed to a heap of freight the train now disappearing over the plains had dumped on the depot platform. “More work of the catalogues,” he commented bitterly. “Three sacks of ’em came to the post office last week, — now the folks are sending for the goods. Think they are saving money, I suppose.” “Perhaps they are?” “Not much. If they will give me all their orders and pay cash as they have to do with the catalogue mail-order houses, I’ll get ’em just as good stuff, and just as cheap. Some things they may buy cheaper, but they’re cheaper goods.” “Why do they do it, then?” “Because it’s the city, — it sounds better, somehow; and the catalogues make everything look so fine. Why, the other day a farmer came … [Read more...] about The Country Store
