Angelina Jolie Voight, Hollywood film star, was born in Los Angeles, on June 4th, 1975 - her name meaning Pretty Little Angel. Her international efforts on behalf of children and refugees have made her the most public-minded superstar since Audrey Hepburn.
Her father, Jon, was already an established superstar, having topped the bill in such classics as Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance.

Angelina Jolie, U.N. envoy traveled to Turkey's border with Syria on Friday, June 17, to draw the World’s attention to the thousands of Syrian refugees who have fled their government's bloody crackdown.
Angelina, the Hollywood celebrity and goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UN HCR) arrived in the Turkish province of Hatay on a private jet to visit the refugee camps.
Turkish television showed Jolie disembarking from the plane in sunglasses at Hatay airport. She directly headed to a camp in the Turkish town of Altinozu, Southeast of Hatay, on the border with Syria.
Jolie spent two-and-a-half hours with the refugees, asking how they were in Arabic and then speaking with them through an interpreter, Turkey's NTV television reported. It said she took notes, showing particular interest in the women and children. She drank a cup of Turkish coffee.
Nearly 10,000 Syrians have sought refuge in camps in Turkey.
Protests first erupted in Syria in mid-March as part of the "Arab Spring" push toward democracy. Syrian President Bashar Assad responded by unleashing the military to crush the street demonstrations. Human rights activists say more than 1,400 Syrians have been killed and 10,000 detained.
Turkish authorities hoisted a 45-foot-long (15-meter) banner near the entrance of the refugee camp to welcome Jolie. It read: "Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome" in English and Turkish. Also a poster that was held by one fan read: "Angelina, kiss me for world peace."

Police kept fans away from the actress at Hatay's airport and cameras were removed from rooftops and high points.

Angelina was amazing. She was a Godgifted person sharing some of her fortune with the poor and people in need. She makes use of her fame to help refugees, women and children. She tries her best for the education of the children who are the future of the world.

By the Time and Future Perfect tense and Future Perfect Continuous Tense

You can use “future perfect tense” (will have V3 or am/is/are going to+have+V3) with “by the time”


Examples:

(I am in London to improve my English. I will come back.)

I will have improved my English by the time I come back from England.

I am going to have improved my English by the time I come back from England.

By the time he gets home, they are going to have cleaned the entire house.


The Future Perfect expresses the idea that something will occur before another action in the future. It can also show that something will happen before a specific time in the future.

Duration Before Something in the Future (Non-continuous Verbs)

With Non-continuous Verbs, we use the Future Perfect to show that something will continue up until another action in the future.(Examples are with verbs of state)

I will have been in London for six months by the time I leave
By Friday, Andy is going to have had my book for a week.


Future perfect tense is used with the verbs such as  “complete, finish, graduate, retire, etc ”

Examples:

(I will graduate from the university in May. I will see you in September.)
By the time I see you in September, I will have graduated from the university.

I will have finished the project by the time you arrive at the office tomorrow morning.
She will have prepared the dinner by the time we get home.
The scientists will have found the cure for cancer by 2030.

The Future Perfect Continuous tense is used with the verbs “learn, lie, live rain, sit, wait and work “which express continuous actions and show that the action will continue in the future.

Examples:

I will start working at 9 a.m. Bill will get to the office at 1 pm. (by the time..)
I will have been working for four hours by the time Bill gets to the office.

They will have been watching the film for 30 minutes by the time we arrive at the cinema.

 I was born in 1975 and it’s 2011 now. By 2040, I will have been living for 65 years.

You can use either future perfect or future perfect continuous to complete the sentence to show that continuous actions will be over in the future.

By the time my dad retires next month, he will have worked  for 40 years.

By the time he retires next March, he will have been working for our company for 30 years.

To Love and Be Loved for Younger Look



Have you ever thought  what ”Golden Keys of  Younger Look” are?

Your inner beauty is the first significant golden key of your younger look, which is based upon cheerfulness, feeling positive and taking things from their bright sides and knowing how to get pleasure from the  small things in life. Contenment with your life makes you look bright . Think of the wrinkles on your face. Don’t they appear because of your worrysome and distressful thoughts? Seeing only the empty side of the half full glass of water? The main point is to see the both sides but be thankful for the positive side not be sorry for the negative side.In addition to this, always remember to smile at yourself  in the mirror as you are “ unique” in this world.

On top of all, if you are loved and love someone, that is more effective than any beauty products. Even your eyes look brighter and more attractive than usual so we should take care of ourselves , from top to toe but number one is to be friendly and pleased with ourselves and our environment. Your hormones will run so effectively when you are in love your skin can never be so nice,this unbelievable emotion makes you look more beautiful . Isn’t it a magic?  If we are happy, this will spread soon and makes others around us happy as well. Your smile and even laughter will be the best remedies of avoiding looking older.

In addition to all these things, body care is essential.You know what steps are but let me emphasize once more:

1.Using suitable organic cleansing and moistrizing  products which don’t contain harmful chemicals for your hair and bodyskin and applying them regularly (for example, try real rose water for cleansing , even spray it onto your skin, or pour mineral water into the spray bottle, you can even mix it with rose water.)
2.Having short or shoulderlength hairstyle which makes you look younger after certain age.
3.Drinking at least 2 lt of water which makes your metabolism fast and moistrizes your skin, which is necessary to prevent wrinkles . Water also makes you feel full and it has a sort of relaxing effect on our stress or anxiety.
4.A good night sleep with a comfortable bed and rather high pillows to prevent the puffs around eyes.
5.Walking –walk for your life ,that is your life motto from now on.
6.Eating little but at least six times a day 
7.Avoid smoking and having much alcohol.
8.Choose the best colors and style going with your body and skin + hair color. "Color" means life itself in a sense.
9.Improve yourself by having hobbies and interests, which make you spend quality time
10.Always try to look natural and plain, too much makeup, perfume and  accessories may cause you to look unattractive.

"Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks." -- Charles Dickens
