Zombie – This Makeup is a wonderful idea for people who love being in the spotlight. Because this image can be very very disgusting, scary -so right in the spirit of Halloween. Also, this makeup is worn by men mostly. This makeup can allow you to watch as the body has been maimed.
Vampire – A vampire makeup is for canines lovers in the blood, white skin and eyes blurred. Remember that it is better to have white skin foam and black shadows in the eye area. And do not forget about canines and blood on crimson lips. This makeup is great for adults, teenagers and so on.
Witch – Witch makeup is popular among women who want to be scary. The makeup must have yellow face with black lips and sharp nose.
Devil – The devil look is detestable and everybody is afraid of. You can make cherry red shadows plus smoky eye, cherry rouge and dark cherry lips and white skin.
Pirate – It is good for children. You can do as the Pirate Jack Sparrow: to make black shadows around the eyes. That’s it. The principal of this image is your costume and hat and various accessories. Today is the best example for all small pirates!

15 Oct 10 Chile mine rescue: Q & A
What happened?
On August 5 at around 2pm local time, two groups of Chilean miners were in the San Jose copper and gold mine when a landslide caused a tunnel 1,700ft down to collapse. One group of miners working nearer the entrance escaped unharmed but a larger group of 33 miners who had gathered to eat their lunch in an emergency shelter 2,300ft underground were trapped.
How long have they been trapped?
By this morning, the miners will have been trapped for 69 days, longer by 19 days than anyone else in history. For the first 17 days, no one knew whether they had survived but there was widespread jubilation when rescuers drilled a borehole down into their underground shelter and they sent a note back up reading: "The 33 of us are fine in the shelter".
How did they survive?
Before they were discovered, the men rationed themselves to two spoonfuls of tuna, half a biscuit and half a glass of milk every 48 hours. They quickly established living areas and a routine, which psychiatrists say was fundamental in keeping them sane. Once contact was established with the outside world, the miners were put on a strict diet sent down the rescue shafts in small tubes called "doves" along with medication.
Who was responsible for what happened?
San Esteban Primera, was primarily responsible for their safety and it emerged the firm had repeatedly ignored warnings and had been fined for breaching regulations. The government was also blamed for allowing the mine to reopen despite previous accidents.
So this has happened before?
Since 2000, an average of 34 people have died every year in mining accidents in Chile, with a high of 43 in 2008, according to a review of government data. Three people died in the past six years at mines run by San Esteban and in 2006 alone, more than 150 people are thought to have been injured.
How have they coped?
The miners have been sent Bibles, Hollywood blockbusters and special food treats to keep their spirits up, and have been communicating with their families via letter and over video links at least once a week. They have also organised themselves into working parties monitoring their health and security and keeping the mine clean, and appointed a group poet, a counsellor and a biographer.
What about their families?
The families and friends of the trapped miners have been camping out on an arid, rocky hillside near the mine since the collapse in a tent settlement dubbed "Camp Hope". There have been moments of joy, with the first video evidence that the miners were alive, and the first personal letters they wrote to their families. But there have also been tensions, as rival family members battle to establish who has a greater claim on each of the trapped miners.
10 Oct 10 Columbus Day – Second Monday in October
Today we take for granted that the world is round. In the fifteenth century, however, most people believed the world was flat. They thought that monsters or a trip over the edge of the earth waited for anybody who sailed outside the limits of known territory. People laughed at or jailed others who dared think that the world was in the shape of a globe.
There were educated persons, however, who reasoned that the world must be round. An Italian named Christopher Columbus was bold enough to push this notion, and ask for money to explore the seas, and find what he thought would be the other hemisphere of the earth. Portugal, Italy and England refused to support such a venture.
At that time, spice merchants were looking for an easier route to Asia. They travelled south past Africa, around the Cape of Good Hope, and continued eastward. Christopher Columbus convinced Queen Isabella of Spain that it would be easier to sail directly west and find the rich treasures of India and Asia. A new route would be found, he said, and possible new lands for Spain.
Columbus first asked Queen Isabella for help in 1486, but it was years before she agreed provided that he conquer some of the islands and mainland for Spain. Columbus would also be given the title of "Admiral of All the Ocean Seas," and receive one-tenth of the riches that came from any of his discoveries.
Finally, on August 3, 1492, he and ninety men set sail on the flagship Santa Maria. Two other ships, the Nina and the Pinta, came with him. They sailed west. Three long months went by. His men became tired and sick, and threatened to turn the ships back. Columbus encouraged them, certain that they would find the spice trail to the East. On October 11th, ten o’clock at night, Columbus saw a light. The Pinta kept sailing, and reported that the light was, in fact, land. The next morning at dawn they landed.
Christopher Columbus and his crew had expected to see people native to India, or be taken to see the great leader Khan. They called the first people they saw "Indians." They had gone ashore in their best clothes, knelt and praised God for arriving safely. From the "Indians" they learned that the island was called Guanahani. Columbus christened it San Salvador and claimed it immediately for Spain. When they landed on the island that is now Cuba, they thought they were in Japan. After three subsequent voyages, Columbus was still unenlightened. He died a rich and famous man, but he never knew that he discovered lands that few people had imagined were there.
Columbus had stopped at what are now the Caribbean Islands, either Watling Island, Grand Turk Island, or Samana Cay. In 1926, Watling Island was renamed San Salvador and acknowledged as the first land in the New World. Recently, however, some people have begun to dispute the claim. Three men from Miami, Florida have started a movement to recognize Conception Island as the one that Columbus and his men first sighted and landed on. The controversy has not yet been resolve.
Few celebrations marked the discovery until hundreds of years later. The continent was not even named after Columbus, but an Italian explorer named Amerigo Vespucci. In 1792, a ceremony was held in New York honoring Columbus, and a monument was dedicated to him. Soon after that, the city of Washington was officially named the District of Columbia and became the capital of the United States. In 1892, a statue of Columbus was raised at the beginning of Columbus Avenue in New York City. At the Columbian Exposition held in Chicago that year, replicas of Columbus’s three ships were displayed.
Americans might not have a Columbus Day if Christopher Columbus had not been born in Italy. Out of pride for their native son, the Italian population of New York City organised the first celebration of the discovery of America on October 12, 1866. The next year, more Italian organisations in other cities held banquets, parades and dances on that date. In 1869, when Italians of San Francisco celebrated October 12, they called it Columbus Day.
In 1905, Colorado became the first state to observe a Columbus Day. Over the next few decades other states followed. In 1937, then President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed every October 12 as Columbus Day. Since 1971, it has been celebrated on the second Monday in October.
Although it is generally accepted that Christopher Columbus was the first European to have discovered the New World of the Americas, there is still some controversy over this claim. Some researchers and proponents of other explorers attribute the first sightings to the early Scandinavian Vikings or the voyages of Irish missionaries which predate the Columbus visit in 1492. The controversy may never be fully resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, but 1992 marked the 500th anniversary of the Columbus discovery.
