The Secret of a Proper Fit If you are a woman that doesn't like the fit of her bra and is finding shopping for a new one very n difficult and frustrating, you need an expert bra e fitter's help and advice. In our informative editorial we would like to reveal THE SECRET OF A PROPER FIT. In I terms of well fitting, a bra does not hang by n a thread! It is rather a combination of precise construction and delicate balance between fa fashion trends and comfort. Good Night Good Morning never compromises o n on the necessity for comfort and good fit in bras. v We are proud to offer the highest quality service in the area of bra fitting plus the best selection of styles f r and sizes, from A to JJ.

We are especially o proud to contribute to the comfort and good fit of the voluptuous woman who needs cups C to s s HH by offering excellent selections in bras from lines like Prima Donna, Chantelle, Fantasie of a England, Empreinte or Felina. For the new season n we invite you to discover many new collections from everyday seamless basic T-shirt bras, to delicate and a romantic lacy styles with glamorous appeal. The SECRET of a proper fit is not only based on o measurements, but on finding the right comfortable y. bra style to highlight your own natural beauty. A bra is a synergy of well thought out shape, sophisticated t construction and a wide choice of fabrics that c all come together guaranteeing you perfect and c complete support through the day. The bra industry u is creating modern light breathable fabrics such as the 3D spacer cup. This new invention is called the l r healthy bra because the fabric lets moisture through, making this an excellent invention for hot summer u days, or for women experiencing hot flashes. To take advantage of our made to measure fit, u take time to properly test it. First, focus on cup size. u The cup should wrap around the breasts in order n to hold them in place without ever cutting into b them. We advise the choice of a non-giving fabric to provide balanced breast support. Underwire remains e n essential for total support. It must rest against the rib cage and not against the breast. Straps should be o positioned at the base of the shoulder and should neither slip nor cut into the shoulders. The back e u of your bra is an important part in breast support. It must remain straight across your back without riding up. A perfect placement ensures optimal p comfort at all times. For everyday wear, the best bras should provide you with maximum support and comfort in all your daily movements. A well-fitted T-shirt bra will provide a relaxed and flattering look. Customers who prefer bold femininity for t everyday seduction will be recommended to go with lacy half-cup bras that round the breast and a e emphasize cleavage. Special occasion lingerie to sculpt and accentuate your curves is available in a l variety of styles and sizes. We are inviting everybody who would like to find comfortable, well fitting bras, to visit our store. You r will regret that you haven't done it sooner!

The Best Selection in Town Supplemental Education - Why? Today, more and more parents consider a supplemental education program to be an absolute necessity to ensure a complete education for their children. "Given the way school budgets are being slashed these days, I just don't think an average education is sufficient," says David Drum, a Toronto parent. "The real purpose of education is to prepare children to become successful adults. Children need confidence and self-esteem to equip them for their learning challenges for the rest of their lives." Oxford Learning Centres spokesperson, Kelley McGregor says it's just like arts and sports programs that many students pursue outside of school. "If my daughter showed an aptitude for music I would enroll her in music lessons," she says. "I would never expect the school system to fully develop her music potential. Given all the challenges the school system faces today, it's the same with academic programs. It's unrealistic to think that any school system can give a child all the education he or she needs to develop as a successful adult." Most commercial tutoring programs focus on academic skill tutoring using a behavior modification process. A famous Japanese company offers a home-study program that focuses on mastery through repetition. The programs offered by Oxford Learning Centres, Canada's largest supplemental educator, encourage students to understand the material they are learning. The Oxford program develops underlying cognitive (learning) skills as well as academic skills. Over the past 19 years, Oxford's educators have developed programs that fix problems rather than just cure this year's crop of difficulties. Some parents fear that a supplemental program will tire their child out. After all, she has been sitting in school all day," is the rationale. The answer often amazes. As any parent knows, no child tires of doing things they like doing. Think back to when they were little ones; how they played at school. They wanted to learn. They loved discovering and mastering new skills. What happened? Why did this change? The truth is that it didn't change. Kids who do well in school, feel confident and enjoy school. Oxford's programs help kids to rediscover that love of learning. And they do more if they help kids learn how to learn. They show them that they are capable of achievement. With this knowledge comes a deep-seated feeling that they are OK, that they can understand the world, that they can cope. That is called self-esteem and it does not come from attention alone. Nor does it come from praise. In fact, the opposite is true. A recent study showed that students who were praised and recognized for their effort, but who neither achieved nor learned how to achieve (to learn), lost self-esteem. The Oxford program was designed specifically to teach students how to learn, to give them the sense of control over their own minds and to build true self-esteem. "Too many children just memorize their way through school. Supplemental programs enrich the entire education process," says Drum. "They are part of our family's educational experience and they will stay that way." By R. N.
