Microsoft finally releases the beta version of its own proprietary search
engine. Microsoft's entry to the world of search engines will have fairly
significant effects on the industry. Up to now, MSN displayed results from
the Yahoo / Overture database. A preview shows highly relevant results
under a variety of keyword phrases. Relevant results, with the search
engine's clean design, could make MSN Search a serious challenge to
Google's current dominance of the present and future search market.
Google's search index doubles to 8 billion pages. It is now searching
8,058,044,651 web pages.
All of us at Eves Hair academy, beauty institute, cosmetology and
aromatherapy school congratulate and thank everybody at Google on this
amazing achievement and making the web search so easy and comprehensive
for billions of users. Your every move has made a difference for the ever
growing internet users. It was indeed a very interesting Diwali and Eid
gift for the community. Keep it up !!
Rekha is 50 - 10th October 2004. Happy Birthday to you from all of us at Eves Beauty
Parlor and Academy.
While we were planning to post this write up on Bollywood star Rekha
who was born in 1954 to cinestars Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli and mesmerized
cine goers for decades with her powerful performances and timeless beauty.
One of our regular client at the beauty salon who arrived for her Sunday
hairstyling just made this statement "Hamesha Khoobsurat rehne ka Silsila zaari rakho Umrao Jaan.. Happy Birthday to Rekha".
All of us at Eves were instantly reminded of the powerful performances by
the Golden Lady of Bollywood. We take this opportunity to wish her all the
best for the future and would also like to mention that it was really
lovely to see her recently on the Simi Grewal hosted TV show Rendezvous.

New Chemical Promises to Make Perms Speedier and Safer
A new hair product may change the typical scene at beauty salons where people sit in rows waiting for hours for their perms to come out.
The Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology has developed a new chemical for perms that shortens the entire process to only 20 minutes.
The reshaping of hair involves putting it around rods and wrapping it with paper and usually takes at least two hours.
Now it looks like people can say goodbye to the grueling hours of waiting in a beauty parlor when getting a perm.
The product does not involve a radically new process. It simply speeds up the typical perming process by breaking down certain protein bonds in the hair and reforming them into new shapes.
Researchers add the shortened period means less exposure to harsher chemicals, which translates into less hair damage.
Researchers have also managed to get rid of the pungent odor of ammonia, which normally comes with the perming process.

The world's HAIRIEST man, Chinese rock singer Yu Zhenhuan, underwent ear
surgery in Shanghai to remove hair that was impairing his hearing, the
Xinhua news agency said.
Doctors said Yu had complained of constant earaches and nausea and had
lost one-third of his hearing, Xinhua said. He underwent surgery on
Friday.
Yu was recognised in 2002 as the world's hairiest man by the Guinness Book
of Records, xinhua said.
Yu's body, save the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet, is
covered with an average of 41 hairs per 1 sq cm (0.16 sq inch), a
condition doctors term 'atavism', it said.
26-year-old Yu, a rock-and-roll singer, made his entertainment debut at
the age of six in a movie about 'a hairy child's adventure', the state
news agency said.

Transexual Chen Lili...
The orange bikini and chocolate-color wig shone under the spotlight, outlining the enchanting figure of Chen
Lili, a transexual Chinese woman, at the Miss Universe-China competition in Southwestern Sichuan Province.
Though barred from the contest because she was born a man, Chen was given the chance to perform on Sunday and she cut quite a figure, reported Monday's Shanghai Morning Post.
Chen was invited to address the audience before the contest. She talked about her country boy life and said she really "cherished the opportunity to perform here as it means so much to finally stand on this stage".
She performed the song "Wind Season" in Cantonese. Though trying to be feminine, her voice broke in parts, but still the audience gave her great applause.
The 1.73-meter-tall Chen Lili, formerly named Chen
Yongjun, meaning "brave soldier" is a stunning fashion model in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality.
She underwent a sex change operation last November in east China's Shandong Province, and picked up the new name
"Lili", inspired by a popular Korean transsexual star "Harisu", or in Chinese "He
Lixiu", who is her idol.
She was registered as a woman on her national ID from the Nanchong police authority in Sichuan on Feb. 11.
As today is International Women's Day and Chen's first
women's day, she had a list of activities with which to enjoy the occasion
after her performance.
"Shopping, facial, spa, I will do everything women enjoy to celebrate my first women's festival," she said.
