It might seem that applying a blush is not complicated at all, but if you want to make the most out of it, you need to know the proper application technique. To emphasize your best face features and use blush in a way so that it flatters your bone structure, take a look.
If your face is heart-shaped, you need to apply your #blush in a C shape. That means starting from the top of the temple and blending towards the cheekbone. Use a bit more product along your cheekbone and blend it towards the temple, but be careful not to go overboard.
If your forehead, cheeks, and jawline seem about the same width, you have an oblong face shape. To apply a #blush properly, start at the most prominent part of your cheeks, and then blend towards your nose and towards the temple. What you need to do is bring your #blush down in order to take attention from your cheekbone area.
Women with a square face shape need to use long and light motions and try to hit the cheekbone from the corner of their eyebrow to their hairline. Apply a #blush to your cheekbones, make sure to start low and move upwards. You can also add a very small amount of your #blush from the eyebrow down to the nose.
If you have a round face shape, your cheeks are the fullest part of your face. In order to apply your #blush properly, take a look in the mirror, smile, and apply a #blush to the apples of your cheeks. Then, use a blush brush to blend it towards the temple and your earlobe.

Trondheim, Norway: Northern lights and dog-sledding
January 1, 1970
by Martina-bazec
Expensive beer, extremely nice but introvert people, sometimes really cold weather despite the early-spring period, northern lights from the window, amazing landscape, colourful architecture that gives soul to the city and unique adventure of dog sledding…those are just some challenges and great things you'll rarely find in any other (European) country than in Norway.
Already heard about Trondheim?
Although Trondheim is actually the third largest city in Norway known by its important role as a harbour and also an university city with a great part of student population, I admit I've never heard about it before I actually applied for my 6-week internship at their University. Did you? But it is definitely a place to visit when you plan your trip to Norway!
Personally I was amazed by its typical Scandinavian architecture with colourful wooden small houses settled by the river Nidelva that is flowing trough the city.
Despite the architecture that gives you the sensation of cuteness and simplicity the whole city is actually not that big. It can barely take you half an hour to walk trough one part of the city to another. Nevertheless public transport is good, frequent and not complicated.
Let's make a city tour
As I already mentioned the city is not that big, perfect to make a walking tour and not get really lost. Once there the "must visit" places are definitely the main square – Market square with the statue of viking Olav Tryggvason who founded the city and the University building of the old campus on a hill from where you can enjoy the view. There is also Tyholt tower from where you can have an overview to whole Trondheim and don't forget to take a walk trough the Old town bridge with typical structure at the end that leads to Bakklandet and of course it's barely impossible not noticing Studentersamfundet, the red and round building at the end of the bridge from downtown that represents the centre of student culture where different social events and concerts are being organised by volunteering students.
Nidaros cathedral
One of the most breath-taking and mysterious buildings in Trondheim for sure. It was built in 11th century by king Olav II of Norway who became Saint Olav a year after his death. It's settled in city centre area but because of its magnificence is visible also from the other side of the river. Besides as a pilgrimage rout for northern pilgrims it's known as the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world.
This old town area known by paved narrow streets and small wooden houses is probably the most known place in Trondheim to visit as a tourist. Personally it is my favourite spot with some special relaxing vibe, so really worth to spend some time there.
It is connected with Old town bridge, easy to reach from main square and lies next to the river. Typical architecture represents houses where people used to live and have different workshops. Nowadays there are many cute souvenir shops, coffee shops, particular bars and restaurants with traditional local food.
Coffee and beer lovers
After huge amounts of coffee Norwegians drink during the day, they would always invite you to go for a beer. Even though they usually hang out with their friends at home, meeting for a beer is something that can last hours. But it doesn't really mean you'll get drunk because you might stick with only one or two beers – how come? It's because of the prices! Alcohol in Norway is expensive and so even if you get student price you'll still pay around 60 NOK for a pint, much more than in your own country, i guess.
Best place to spoil yourself with traditional sweets (try typical custard filled bun "school bread" or Skolebrød) and different types of coffee or just chill with typical large cup of it can be found in Bakklandet where you can also find awesome typical traditional or more alternative places to eat and taste enormous types of beer meanwhile enjoying the ambient and live concerts. Another area, known as former industrial buildings covered in shops, bars and restaurants with also local food, is Solsiden. Going there on a sunny day only increases your chilling mood.
Lucky enough to see Northern lights
I believe experiencing northern lights is something many travellers would wish for when passing by Scandinavia and you need to be at least a little bit lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Anyhow, Norway by itself is pretty known by the phenomenon of northern lights, specially on north of the country – Tromsø is really known area, where the arctic wildness offers you the best conditions to see and be part of aurora borealis.
This magical and mysterious colours flashing trough the sky by making different shapes and changing their intensity are absolutely worth of some patience and extreme cold you might experience while waiting for or observing it. Statistically it should be more frequent at the beginning of winter – from October until December and at the end of winter – from February until April, so if you plan to experience northern lights at least once in a lifetime I recommend visiting northern Norway in those periods.
My experience happened on a calm and quite cold March evening when suddenly a friend of mine, also a huge fan of northern lights, called me. She had this exciting voice hurrying telling me that if I'm home I should go outside immediately because there are northern lights in the sky and they're visible even from the city centre of Trondheim – it's a quite rare thing to see it in the cities specially because of the city lights! I couldn't believe what she was telling me because that would mean my wish is just about to come true and I'm about to see northern lights just a week from my departure. I ran out and there it was. Right above me the green coloured magic was happening, looking like painted clouds moving faster and crating interesting shapes. I was just standing there, with my head turned up to the sky, admiring the beauty while feeling really thankful and lucky.
If you are curious about new adventures and you're not scared of dogs, dog-sledding is something I would totally recommend. This is an amazing thing to experience but you would need to go about 2 hours out of Trondheim in Røros direction with train. One of the provider of such an experience can be found on http://www.huskytour.no/ where they offer whole- or half-day trips or even trips during the night.
Half-day trip could be enough and it's well organised when and where they pick you up if you're coming with train from Trondheim direction. Once you get there after few minutes of driving into the wildness you get to the place.
Changing into warm clothes, boots and gloves is required and than you meet about 50 friendly dogs, barking all around. The adventure is about to begin after the owner explains it all and teaches you how to harness and control 4 or 5 of your dogs. It's really simple and the dogs are obedient…until they get a little off road, you fall from sleds and they continue running like nothing happened while you try to run after them screaming in different languages to make them stop.
The 16km journey includes some really amazing views while driving Alaskan huskies trough arctic wildness where everything is covered in snow. Nothing's around you, just pure nature, silence and it is something special to feel the connection and admire the beauty.
So if you at least checked on the map where Trondheim is (in a case you didn't know about it) after reading this article and now you got a little bit curious about this city, add it to your bucket list when visiting Norway and experience different rare things.

Here is your little sneak peek....Read More
Hello from the other side
Sarah Sadler
Its been a while....
This year has been tough...I wont lie. Every moment I miss my beautiful man. I love him, and always will, he will always be apart of me. And the person I am now is a result of both the love and pain....
On the 27th May i held a boxing event for my beautiful man....you see before he passed away he was training for his "one last fight" So i wanted to honour this. So far £3500.00 has been raised for MIND.... I hope that this event has raised awareness for mens' mental health.
Off the back of this event i was invited into Radio City Talk, Airbus Broughton, and a training company to talk about mens mental health...the local paper has documented to whole event and been so bloody supportive
My aim is to make the biggest killer for men under the age of 45 into a normal conversation to have....i want to make this silent conversation into such a roar.
But this has meant i have not been marketing my weddings....I cannot wait for the few i have this year....I cannot wait to document to love....because my god...in life that is all that matters.....
Live your life with love ♥
This picture is the moment I placed Richs gloves into the ring before the tittle fight....Rich my love you have created a legacy.....
All for you Rich....with all my love for always

ps A huge thank you to my beautiful friend from Nick Mizen photography for documenting these memories that i will cherish foreverRead More
On the 20th September my world turned on its head.....
Sarah Sadler
Just when you think life is panning out for you....your hopes and dreams, everything you had worked so hard for.
Just like that it is all gone.
No reason, no warning...
On the 20th September my beautiful man passed away.
Time since has stood still for me and my two beautiful girls....the last 7 weeks and 1 day have been a blur of shock, numbness & unimaginable pain.
My man....my beautiful man. My life, my soul mate, my best friend, my future, my present and my past....all has a new meaning. A meaning I did not want....and now here I am picking my way though a world that looks apocalyptic. I am left with rubble and somehow I have to build something from this for my two girls. Doing this with no intention...as every single step towards trying to create a new world for my girls takes me a little further away from my man....
My Rich....I miss you more than air. My love for you stronger than ever....I will love you for all of time....
Again I wish to thank my couples for being so beautiful, so understanding and patient with me during this time....
Right now, more than ever, it is so important to me that you have your beautiful memories forever...Images now mean so much more.
Believe me...when someone you love so much is no longer there...phone videos, pictures, photographs, text messages....become priceless. It is all you have left, along with your memories, of the love and life you had.
A reminder that our immense, beautiful love was real....it did happen...my man existed and loved and laughed and is always my soul mate.
Life is so short, it will twist and turn, it will throw you down and pick you up....but one thing for sure is....if you show up for it, if you love as hard as you can, if you show that you did exist, that you didn't hide from it....no matter how short or long your life is, you had a life ♥Read More

Lakefront homes for sale on Pine Lake West Bloomfield Michigan
Pine Lake in West Bloomfield MI is what I would consider an "upper end lake". Lakefront homes are going to be more expensive because Pine Lake and West Bloomfield are a desirable lake in a high demographic city with good schools. Note: there is one section of the lake which is Pontiac schools and homes on that side go for a little less. Pine Lake has a marina on the lake and they even have a ski/wake board school that teaches on the lake. Pine Lake Country Club is located on the lake. The club has outdoor tennis courts, an indoor tennis house, swimming pool and deck areas, renovated golf course and a beautiful clubhouse. Pine Lake Country Club was originally the Automobile Club of Detroit (started in 1902). Some of the early members were John Dodge, Ransom Olds, Henry Ford, Ray Chapin, E.P.Hammond, W.C.Hartman and James Couzens. Fun Fact!
Pine Lake in West Bloomfield is a great place to live because you are close to Telegraph and Orchard Lake Road. You can live on a lake and still have an easy commute to work.

I believe a knowledgeable buyer and seller make smarter decisions on their real estate transactions. I want you to be happy after you close. Plus I want to make money on your home. That's my goal……………… to keep more money in your pocket.
Plymouth Hills Subdivision Plymouth MI is one of the older subdivisions in Plymouth, but it still has many beautiful homes that buyers want. Plymouth Michigan is still one of the hottest places to buy in Wayne County. Middle Straits Lake West Bloomfield MI is considered one of West Bloomfield's premier all sports lakes.

Along with Plymouth, Northville is another highly desirable community in Western Wayne County. Many sports stars live in the community too. Brookstone Subdivision in Northville Twp MI is not too far from M-14 or I-275. Getting to downtown Detroit is fairly easy.

Down on the Farm: May 15 (Morejon/Allen Pitch & Tatis with 2 HR's)
The San Diego Padres' affiliates were on 1-3 on Tuesday as the Lake Elsinore Storm were the only team to win.
Here is your recap of the day's action:
El Paso Chihuahuas (20-20) Lost 3-1
The Chihuahuas continue their tailspin as they are now 3-11 in their last 14 games played. On Tuesday, they dropped the game to Reno 3-1 as the offense continues to falter. The promotions of Travis Jankowski and Franmil Reyes have hurt the team in recent games, but they should still be able to put up runs in the PCL. Luis Perdomo was decent, going six innings, allowing two earned runs. His ERA is now at 3.00 on the year for El Paso. Brett Nicholas continues to hit, and in recent weeks he has played a lot behind the dish. Could a promotion and add to the 40-man roster be in the works for him?
Luis Urias– (0-3) BB
Javy Guerra– (1-4)
Brett Nicholas– (2-3) HR, 2B, RBI, Run, BB
Robert Stock– 1 IP, 1 H (16 pitches- 11 strikes)
Luis Perdomo– 6 IP, 5 H,2 ER,1 BB, 5 K (81 pitches- 57 strikes)
San Antonio Missions (25-13) Lost 5-4
Logan Allen was on the mound and was given a 4-0 lead, but could not get out of the seventh inning. Allen walked the leadoff hitter, then allowed three straight hits. The Hooks had Allen on the ropes several times early in the game, but the left-hander worked out of them. Allen still has a very respectable 2.98 ERA in the Texas League and is seriously close to being in the conversation for those who are major league-ready. Fernando Tatis led off the game with a homer and hit a second to straightaway center field. Kyle Overstreet had two hits in the loss.
Fernando Tatis Jr.– (2-4) 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 Run, K
Ty France– (1-4) 2B, Run
Kyle Overstreet– (2-4) RBI
Josh Naylor– (0-2) 2 BB
Logan Allen– 6 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 6 K (92 pitches- 55 strikes)
Someone's heating up. Fernando Tatis Jr. with his second homer of the day. 106 mph on the exit velocity. #Padres @tatis_jr pic.twitter.com/8FPcNhbmPK
— James E. Clark (@EVT_JClark) May 16, 2018
Lake Elsinore Storm (17-22) Won 8-4
The Storm returned home for a quick three-game series with the 66ers. Adrian Morejon was on the mound for the first game and he pitched well, allowing two earned runs on six hits in six innings pitched. His throwing error made things worse for the left-hander on the night, but he still walked away with the win, improving to 2-3 on the year with a 3.67 ERA. The Storm recorded 15 hits on the night as five different hitters had multiple-hit games. Marcus Greene Jr went 2-for-3 and Brad Zunica went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a walk, and a run scored. Elliot Ashbeck continues to be reliable out of the pen, throwing a scoreless inning and lowering his ERA to 1.82 on the year.
Eguy Rosario– (2-5) Run, RBI
Buddy Reed– (3-5) 3B, 2B, 3 Runs, K
Luis Torrens– (2-4) 2B, 2 RBI
Matthew Batten- (3-3) 3 RBI, BB
Adrian Morejon– 5 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K (85 pitches- 48 strikes)
Fort Wayne TinCaps (15-22) Lost 4-1
Base running issues and the lack of timely hitting was a major factor in the TinCaps' loss on Tuesday. Osvaldo Hernandez pitched well but got no run support as the TinCaps struck out 11 times in the game. Here is a recap of the game from Ken Bugajski who was in attendance in Fort Wayne.
Jeisson Rosario– (1-3) BB, Run, SB
Tirso Ornelas– (2-3) 2B, BB, K
Justin Lopez– (2-4) 2 K
Luis Campusano– (1-3) RBI
Osvaldo Hernandez– 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K (77 pitches- 46 strikes)
Wednesday's Probables
El Paso- OFF
San Antonio- Jerry Keel
Lake Elsinore- Ronald Bolanos
Fort Wayne- TBD

Nowadays, custom blinds have become the most popular choice among people. That is why very house-owner is going for the same. However, initial cost might be a bit higher but in future, you do not require bearing any additional costs especially, repair and maintenance expenses, renovation costs, and others.
If you are concerned about the safety and embellishing part of your house, then nothing can be the best option other than these blinds. If you have old blinds in your house, then they can be custom-made by the application of a few improved procedures and creative ideas.
Benefits of Maintaining Customized Blinds
- You can get an excellent opportunity of trying out different kinds of blinds as per the recent trend. You can enjoy several benefits in case of maintaining custom blinds. Some of the common categories that are getting the highest popularity are wood blinds, faux wood blinds, composite woods, aluminum, vinyl blinds, fabric blinds, motorized blinds and much more. Choose the most fashionable and stylish one for improving the overall interior look.
- Choosing the Flexible blinds as per the customization preference is the best option. Customized blinds always reflect your personality and taste. This is how people can come to know about your preferences and living choice. If the blinds are not of your choice, then you will feel uneasy. On the other hand, the décor value of your house will diminish to a great extent.
- Customized options have the greatest flexibility due to which they are easy to operate. Whereas, installing the customized blinds also enhances the functional value of your windows.
How Blind Designs Are Custom Made
- Rough sketch of the designs is first created for developing the basic one. The manufacturers, usually hire some of the most efficient and skilled blind-designers for developing innovative blind-designs. Customer demands are considered along with the trend for adding potential value to the custom blinds giving it a magical touch. The designers usually, make intricate researches and take valuable suggestions for making these blinds.
- After that, designers first create blind designs in papers. Once, they are put into the software and then the necessary editing is done. After making necessary alterations and corrections, the final designs are developed by the blind-designers. By means of using software, different customizing features can be added for catering a special look to the blinds. The designers are well trained and experienced and they are equipped with higher creative skills. They implement these skills for making the custom blinds. Blind features are updated and changes are made time to time in accordance with the trend and this update can be done only with the designing software.
- Fabrics are decided on the basis of designs. If the fabrics do not match-up with designs, then custom blinds cannot be created. Since, there are so many fabric options, therefore, the designer needs to make a proper survey for finding out the right one. There are some strict regulations that are essentially abided for choosing the right and perfect blind fabrics. Fabric features are to be noticed and compared for availing the best one that can complement the created designs. Though, it is quite a stressful task to choose the perfect fabric for custom blinds but, it can be easily and efficiently done by following the available samples and trend. Or else by keeping an eye on the competitors' move.

About Us
The Sandbach Fairtrade steering group includes councillors and volunteers from the local community who work to promote Fairtrade in the town. Led by Deborah Darnes, the group is committed to fair trading both locally and internationally and also supports the promotion of sustainable production for UK farmers and the importance of shopping locally.
The group's first challenge was to get Sandbach awarded the Fairtrade Town status.
An event was organised at the High School during Fairtrade Fortnight in February 2008 to launch the campaign and all local shops and businesses were contacted. There was good media coverage and soon an application was put together leading to the award being granted in July 2008.
Once awarded Fairtrade status the group's goal has been to continue to promote Fairtrade and renew the town's status after a year and then every 2 years.
In November, 2009, the group held its first major event 'Fairer Sandbach', to promote and celebrate Fairtrade, the excellent local produce available in Sandbach and caring for our environment. The event was well supported and deemed a success!
Sandbach Fairtrade steering group regularly meets with representatives from the neighbouring Fairtrade towns of Alsager, Congleton, Macclesfield and Nantwich to share ideas and support, helping ensure that the Fairtrade philosophy continues to spread throughout our area.

So here I am with my first ever official blog post (oooh!) I'm really nervous about starting this new journey so thank you all for your support so far in helping me set up this blog, I really am so grateful (cheese!!!)
I got back from Austria on Wednesday this week and although I have a stack load of uni work waiting for me to start, I've been desperate to get this blog post out as I'm so excited to show you all what I've been wearing while I've been away – am I the only one this obsessed with clothes? Lol. It was freezing the entire time we were gone, around -5 degrees or less each day, so it was a great opportunity for me to get all my warmest gear out (although lets not lie in England we pretty much need our warmest gear for 10 months of the year too haha).
Golling Waterfall and Hallstatt
This outfit was muchhh warmer than it looks! I wore a basic Primark black turtle neck (£4) paired with a cool vintage aztec wool skirt I found in the charity shop Age UK for £3! On top I had the most amazingggg faux fur coat from Marno Mink Glenn Models which I got for £8 (!!!!) in St Rocco's charity shop (which is based in Warrington). They actually had a selection of around 8 faux fur coats all for under a tenner and I fell in love with this one, which proved extremely warm for the freezing Austrian climate! My beret was from TKMaxx for £5.99 and my earrings were from the British Heart Foundation charity shop for 99p!!
Berchtesgaden National Park
And the baker boy hat makes an appearance again! If you follow me on Instagram I think this hat is in about 99% of my photos hahaha. You can't go wrong with it though (especially when you bought it for £5 second-hand on Depop!) I'm also wearing a vintage cable-knit jumper from Topman which I bought in St Rocco's (again!) for £2. I paired it with my classic mom jeans from Pull & Bear with a chunky belt which – honestly – can make you look so much slimmer when (like me) you're wearing 100 layers. I went wrong not covering up my cold hotdog ankles though!!
Anniversary Meal
On the evening of December 18th I went out to Berchtesgaden old town to celebrate my four year anniversary with Mike. Soooo what do you wear to a nice restaurant when it is minus a hundred in the night!?! I got this dress in the TKMaxx sale for £25 (expensive for me haha) but it is honestly such a beautiful piece. It has the most beautiful embroidered flowers and sits just below the knee which I think is so flattering. I paired it with my black fur coat (again!!) and this really cute round bag from St Rocco's for £3!!!
P.s. I had to wear walking boots because the snow was tooooooo deep for anything else! I brought some nice shoes to wear but had to abandon ship because snow on bare feet would NOT have been fun haha! Regardless, I got these boots second-hand on Depop for £20 – they're fleece-lined, vintage real leather walking boots and seeing as though I still have all my toes, they seem to have done the job!
Salzburg Christkindlmarkt
WHEN YOU BEING JUDGED FOR POSING WITH YOUR CHOCOLATE CAKE THO ^ Looool.
In all seriousness I think I ate about 10,000 calories this day – is it just me or is Christmas the best time of year for food?! For the Christmas markets in Salzburg, I wore the most amazing pants from Marie Curie which I bought for £2 paired with another Primark basic white top. I tucked the top into the high waisted pants and paired it with a belt (which was a hand-me-down from Mike… get in!) All of which I sheltered under my black fur coat… again… (why is this outfit repeater making a fashion blog?!) Another day, another beret too… mine was one I got from Select about five years ago – don't you love when things come back into fashion?
Wait a minute… she does have more than one coat!! This vintage Patagonia coat was on Depop for £30 – which is an amazing price for a coat of this standard. It kept me so warm and had loads of pockets – I don't know why that's so important but I love having lots of little secret places to keep things (anyone else this weird?!) Underneath I wore an Alpaca wool jumper Mike got me from Peru a few years back which was SO WARM. I tucked it into some mom jeans with a chunky belt. It was a great outfit for exploring the beautiful waterfalls in Almbachklamm!
P.s. the one sock up one sock down was NOT intentional LOL.
SO – there you have it, my outfits from our time in Austria & Germany… most of which were from the charity shop or off Depop! I think there are so many great pieces you can get second-hand these days that there is really no reason to be spending hugeee amounts of money on clothes. Plus, the money you will be spending will be going towards a good cause, helping others (as well as yourself to look cool haha).
I hope you enjoyed this post, I'd really appreciate your support/feedback/advice. I've got a few good post ideas lined up for the coming weeks – if you can think of anything or if theres anything you'd like to hear about, leave me a comment below!

I have a unique problem as a sports fan- I'm from Boston. That means I have too many teams worth watching. Sure, I could probably watch them all but I'm interested in maintaining a normal life. I like my TV shows way too much to ditch them just so I can watch every Celtics, Red Sox, and Bruins game simultaneously. I watch what I can and stay up to date with their records, standings, and anything major that comes up. Patriots are different, because they own my life and I'm thankful for every second I get to spend being a Patriot fan. If Bill Belichick ever needs an organ transplant I'll gladly donate every single organ in my body to him. It's the least I can do for what he's given me.
So now the Celtics are in the Eastern Conf. Finals. I've broken out my Antoine Walker jersey which means it's officially bandwagon time. I've been watching the playoffs this year, but not religiously. When I say it's bandwagon time, I mean it's time to get DEEP into the Celtics weeds and start rearranging my schedule around the games. That's what you do in situations like this. I believe playoffs should be exempt from the bandwagon ridicule. It's an incredible thing watching an entire city rally behind a team. Boston's a little different because we only get amped up when they make the conference finals. Why? Oh because the last time we didn't have a single playoff team was 17 years ago. They playoffs are kind of our thing. (We do alright, if you haven't heard.)
I'm the first to admit I'm not a big Celtics fan, but obviously I'm ride or die for any team with Boston on their chest. But the bigger factor here is Lebron. I HATE LEBRON JAMES WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY SOUL and I need the Celtics to beat him/the Cavs. I know it's a tall order because despite my hatred I know he's an incredible basketball player, but he has to lose sometime. He's such an insufferable asshole and nobody deserves failure more than him. I hate him. Hate. It's a very real level of hate. I see him on tv and my blood pressure goes up. I want to see him cry. Aside from the Celtics winning the championship over the Lakers in 2008, my happiest basketball memory is the Celtics pushing Lebron to his breaking point in 2010 which led to him quitting on Cleveland and ruining his legacy by joining a super team in Miami to get his rings. Pathetic. Maybe we can do that again this year and we'll get to see him rip his dumb jersey off again.
Quick rant: the term "bandwagon" sucks… Every year douchebag diehards throw it around like they're the only ones worthy of enjoying their team's success. It blows my mind. Their simple brains can't comprehend that city-wide excitement and enthusiasm is GOOD for their team. Sure there might be a slight bump in ticket prices next season but hey, the viewing experience is SO much greater in a crowd than having an entire section to yourself. Go ask a Montreal baseball fan if they would have wanted more casual fans getting involved with their team. So excuse me while I get excited for the Celtics in the playoffs despite having nothing personally invested. I'm allowed to have fun.

Peculiar Ground by Lucy Hughes-Hallett/
Peculiar Ground
by Lucy Hughes-Hallett
Harper, 2018
Lucy Hughes-Hallett comes to the world of fiction after writing nonfiction, including The Pike, a very good book about Italian writer and gold-plated weirdo Gabriele D'Annunzio. Her opulent new book Peculiar Ground, her debut work of fiction, is probably predictably steeped in history, split between two very different eras.
The narrative is grounded in 17th century England, a country where the scars of the Cromwellian interregnum are still fresh, and where newly-returned royalists are still feeling their way in the land they once called home. Arthur Fortescue, the Earl of Woldingham, has returned to his Oxfordshire country estate of Wychwood with his wife and children, and his long-term reaction to his exile in the Hague is a kind of second exile: he engages visionary landscape artist John Norris to enclose the entire estate in five miles of tall wall, sequestering the whole of Woldingham's world:
My task is to create an Eden encompassing the house, so that the garden will be only the innermost chamber of an enclosure so spacious that, for one living within it, the outside world, with its shocks and annoyances, will be but a memory. Other great gentlemen may have their flocks of sheep, their herds of deer, but, should they wish to control those creatures' movements, a thorny, hedge or palisade of wattle suffices. Lord Woldingham's creatures will live within a confined within an impassable barricade. As for human visitors, they will come and go only through the four gates, over which the lodge-keepers will keep vigil.
Norris is the reader stand-in for the events in the book's beguiling opening sections, in which the hapless landscape artist is ensnared in Woldingham family politics, falls in love, and stumbles into country-magic rituals that only seem to grow darker as the wall rises. Hughes-Hallett is an experienced hand at bringing the past to life for her readers, and the opening section of her book breathes with the tensions and fears underlying life in Restoration England.
Then the time shifts; readers are brought from the early 1660s to the early 1960s. Rather ham-handedly, there's also a rising wall at the center of events, this time the Berlin Wall. Wood Manor, on the old baroquely-sculpted Wychwood grounds, is now run by agents and proprietors, with louche, aristocratic guests drifting in and out. The world is suddenly rarefied, but in a very different, very Brideshead Revisited kind of way:
So that August weekend at Wychwood had the kind of languor to it of a siesta before a taxing evening. Soon there would be sleeper-cars and sport and then – for some of the house-party – the brisk back-to-work of September. But we were still in the season of moving like somnolent dogs from one patch of shade to another. Iced coffee under the cedar tree. Picnic tea down by the upper lake in the hideous pagoda of which Christopher's father had been so proud. Long afternoon hours when it seemed as though everyone had vanished, when the only living beings announcing their presence were the peacocks with their yearning cries.
There's some taut plotting in the 1960s portions of the novel, but not so much that you'd notice it if you didn't go looking for it. It's a curious harsh-stepped drop from the Restoration section that opens the book; the knotted grief and inspiration of Lord Woldingham's walled-off world is hypnotic, and even Hughes-Hallett's diction complicates and deepens in vividly memorable ways when it's describing Norris' journey into unexpected crises. Wychwood is in these pages a grippingly disturbed place; surely most readers will want to stay there and look warily at the change of time period that comes fairly early on. Hughes-Hallett knows all about reader expectations; she must have known that the only effective way to counter that reluctance is to make the 1960s sections every bit as gripping, but this virtually never happens. Instead, the long 20th century portion of the narrative strains for the kind of effectiveness that the opening Restoration portion seemed to achieve effortlessly. The diction changes in the modern era, becoming more sentimental with less warrant; the nature of the characters changes – their passions dim, and they seem to be less interested in their world; even Hughes-Hallett's own authorial attention seems to slacken – phrases are repeated with apparent negligence, the story meanders, and a key detail of one character's sub-plot is raised and then seems to be forgotten.
It's possible that all of this could be serving a larger purpose – indeed, maybe probable, since the alternative is that a writer this skilled and experienced was somehow unaware of the badly lopsided nature of her own narrative; it's possible that Hughes-Hallett intends to underscore for the reader a theme of attenuation. That, too, would be familiar Brideshead territory, and it's possible Peculiar Ground will find an equally loyal readership outside of Wychwood's walls.

Organic farming is a growing sector not only in Europe in North America, but also on the global level. The system of organic agriculture has the objective to protect the environment and achieve a sustainable farming system. It has been shown in many study-cases, that organic farming often provides a number of advantages for the environment like lower levels of nutrient runoff and a higher level of biodiversity. However, in practise we can also observe, that organic farming often comes with lower yields. At the same times, higher prices are necessary to make the system pay economically viable.
We want to discuss, whether organic farming is a useful instrument to develop agriculture in developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South-East Asia and Latin America. Most of farmers in developing countries are small subsistence and semi-subsistence farmers, therefore organic farming might provide interesting examples to help farmers in those countries to improve their income. Besides this, we can observe that agriculture in ecological sensitive areas can be a challenge. On the other hand, according the report "how to feed the world 2050" from the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) we need to increase the food-production by 70% until the year 2050. The share of people living in extreme poverty nowadays is already at 1.4 Billion persons, the number of persons who are suffering from chronic starvation is estimated by FAO at 870 Million people. Therefore we also need farming systems with constantly high yields in order to supply international markets and contribute on the world food situation. In that respect, organic farming has been sometimes criticized due to it's lower yields. It might also be an interesting debate, if we can combine organic farming with other strategies and approaches to optimize farming systems in developing countries and at the same time improve yields. But poverty, starvation, small farming and farming in ecologically sensitive areas might also be problems, which are interlinked. We will critically investigate and discuss the role of organic farming for agriculture in developing countries.
With us are four experts in the area:
Dr. Marie von Meyer-Höfer has done her dissertation at University Göttingen on "Product Differentiation and Consumer Preferences for Sustainable Food". Her main research interests are food consumer research, sustainable and organic food consumption in industrialized and emerging countries, sustainability labelling and animal welfare.
Viola von Cramon-Taubadel studied agricultural economics at the University in Bonn. She is politician for the Green Party in Germany and has been member of the Bundestag 2009-2013. She is working on foreign policy and human rights in Eastern Europe (mainly Ukraine), but she also brings a wide expertise on agriculture in Eastern Europe.
Prof. Dr. Matin Qaim has done his PhD in Kiel and Bonn. Since 2007 he is professor for "International Food Economics and Rural Development" at the University Göttingen. Since then he has supervised many PhD-students, he has an outstanding publication record, he has won many scientific awards and he has a wide expertise in developing countries. His main research interests are the economics of biotechnology, issues of food security and sustainable development, nutrition and health economics, agricultural markets of high value products in developing countries and rural development.
Eberhard Prunzel-Ulrich has studied agriculture at Göttingen University. In 1981 he and his wife founded his small farm in Landolfshausen (Käsehof Landolfshausen) some km from Göttingen, which since 1987 he runs under the Bioland-certification. They mainly produce grain, and milk & cheese from sheep and goats, which they sell on the weekly market in Göttingen. Since many years, they are also in involved in education-projects like farm-courses for children or guided tours and open-farm events. Eberhard Prunzel-Ulrich is also involved in activities of the small-farmers association in Lower Saxony.
Jan Fragel: studied law and education science in Göttingen. He is a freelancer journalist working for print media and radio, who also brings many experiences on agricultural and development topics especially in developing countries like e.g. Nicaragua or Thailand.
Time: Do, 04.02.2016, 19:15 Uhr
Location: Tagungszentrum in der Sternwarte, Geismar Landstr. 11, 37083 Göttingen
The discussion is part of the accompanying program of the DAAD-Biofach Winterschool, which takes place in Göttingen and Nuremberg between February 2-14, 2016 and which is organized by the Section for Tropical and Subtropical Agriculture and Forestry (SeTSAF) (Antje Henkelmann) of the Georg-August University Göttingen and which is supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
So hope to see you there!

Hi everybody!
In my article of the other day *click* I spoke about some men not having respect for women and what they wear and it got me thinking some more. Not only should all men respect women and not judge or act upon what they wear, also us women should have more respect for each other. We should stop seeing and treating each other as threats, enemies or competition but as sisters.
Picture this: You walk down the street and you encounter a woman that is dressed in a quite revealing way, let's just say she likes to show some skin. What goes through your mind? I bet it isn't very positive. I think I can speak for all of us women if I say that on at last one moment in your life you might have done, thought, said or behaved in a certain way to another women that you nowadays might not be so proud of. I sure have. But what do we know about this woman that has just passed us on the street? Nothing. Who are we to judge? Does she hurt anybody with what she wears or the way she looks? It is so easy to just assume things and have negative thoughts about people. It is like we women are born with this habit built in, this nasty and unhealthy habit of judging without knowing anything about them, their situation or their health. What is this about, why do we do this and where does this come from?
If I look back at my own experience, either being judged, or judging, I think it comes from our own insecurity and low self esteem. In other words, talking down on somebody is a cheap way to make yourself feel better. But does it make you feel better? The answer is no. Well, maybe on the short term, you might experience a feeling of being superior at the moment you judge, talk or mock somebody, but does it address the problem why you do this?
Maybe us women we are taught from a young age to see other women as competition. In a society where beauty is considered just as important or maybe more important as a good heart, a good brain or a great personality, women are constantly put in a very judging light. I feel that in this time, society thinks your beauty defines a part of your worth. Look at female celebrities, almost all female artists, actors, singers etc. are all beautiful, skinny and kind of perfect. Well, at least that is how they are shown. We get presented with a beauty ideal that is not realistic and true, but that is what we consider as a standard. And everything that doesn't fit this standard is considered less of a person.
So the more I think about it, the more this bothers me. So I have decided to challenge myself, and you as well, to become more aware of the negativity you spread, about the negative thoughts you have. These thoughts are a waste on energy, a waste of time and are unhealthy. They say 'Think before you speak', but I am going to think before I think. Are you with me?
Lots of love,
xoxoxo Miss Ginger Tulips

See our latest news articles
Google+ was first introduced as a rival to Facebook. However, it never really took off and now people tend to have a profile so they show up on searches more often than those who don't. Whether you're selling construction materials to building companies or providing a cleaning service, Google+ will prove beneficial to your company. Because Google is the most popular search engine, it's worth having an account for the simple reason that Google likes it if you publish on Google; if you publish regularly on your 'Google My Business' page, Google will push you up its search results ahead of your rivals who are ignoring their platform. What this can mean for your business is, if you're based in Kent and provide cleaning, when someone searches 'Kent cleaners' you'll appear higher up the results.
The benefits of using Google+ are obvious, but it's not the easiest system to get around, so here are the pros and cons of using the social media platform:

New Wrylon Robotical Advert Unearthed
The public face of Wrylon Robotical was flower delivery, but it's well-known that Rhoderick used his 'bots for a variety of tasks, including building more 'bots and 'bot factories.
This recently uncovered poster was likely only posted internally, to alert Wrylon's human employees to increased 'bot activity. It's unlikely that it was shown to the public, for fear of angering local trade unions.

ZARA Gift Vouchers Giveaway UK
Early background
Amancio Ortega opened the initial Zara shop in 1975 in main A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. Ortega at first named the shop Zorba after the classic movie Zorba the Greek, however after finding out there was a bar with the exact same name 2 blocks away, they rearranged the letters formed for the indication to "Zara". It is thought the extra "a" came from an extra set of letters that had been produced the business. [6] [7] The initial store featured low-cost lookalike products of preferred, higher-end apparel fashions. Ortega opened up extra shops throughout Spain. Throughout the 1980s, Ortega altered the layout, manufacturing, and also distribution procedure to decrease preparations and also respond to new patterns in a quicker way, which he called "immediate styles". The improvements consisted of using infotech as well as making use of groups of designers as opposed to individuals.
In 1988, the company began its global development through Porto, Portugal. [8] In 1989, it entered the USA, and after that France in 1990. [9] Throughout the 1990s, Zara increased to Mexico (1992 ), [10] Greece, Belgium as well as Sweden (1993 ). In the early 2000s, Zara opened its very first stores in Japan and Singapore (2002 ), Russia and also Malaysia (2003 ), [11] [12] [13] China, [14] Morocco, [15] Estonia, [16] Hungary [17] and also Romania (2004 ), [18] the Philippines, [12] Costa Rica [19] and Indonesia (2005 ), [20] South Korea (2008 ), [21] India (2010 ), [22] as well as South Africa as well as Australia (2011 ). [23] [24]
On September 2010, Zara launched its online boutique. The website started in Spain, the UK, Portugal, Italy, Germany and also France. [25] In November that same year, Zara Online expanded the solution to five even more countries: Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium and also Luxembourg. [26] On the internet shops began running in the United States in 2011, [27] Russia and also Canada in 2013, [28] [29] [30] as well as Mexico, [31] Romania, [32] and South Korea in 2014. [33] [34] India in 4 October 2017.
Zara introduced using RFID modern technology in its stores in 2014. The RFID chips lie in the protection tags which are removed from apparel when it is purchased and also can be reused. The chip enables the firm to quickly take inventory by identifying radio signals from the RFID tags. When a product is marketed, the warehouse is quickly alerted to make sure that the thing can be replaced. A product that is not on the shelf can conveniently be located with the RFID tag. [35]
In 2015, Zara was placed 30 on Interbrand's list of best global brands.

After struggling of two weeks, I received an offer from Politeknik Seberang Perai to further study in Diploma. I was given my first choice - Logistics and Supply Chain Management. I was on my first day of school holidays when I received the offer. I was given a month to prepare before admitting to polytechnic, but I was very excited that I submitted withdrawal letter to my school authority before the school reopened again. I was not really know about polytechnic, all I knew about it was I wanted to get a Diploma in my favourite course and further my study in local university.
My three years of polytechnic life has developed me to a better person. The main idea is "If you never try, you'll never know what you are capable of".
In this post, I would to share happy moments for being a polytechnic student.
#1: Make friends with people of other races.
#2: The Eating-with-Bare-Hand Challenge
#3: Join different societies and activities.
#4: Attend seminar, workshop or activities that not related to academic.
#5: Interview the industry.
#6: Struggle for business research and build trust on a team.
#7: Make the impossible possible.
#8: Achievement
I have been surrounded exclusively by friends of my own race for 18 years before entering polytechnic. In polytechnic, I could not stay in a homogeneous racial group because I was the only Chinese for my course in that batch. However, we don't see each other so much like 'you are black, and I am yellow'. If you like the same thing I like, then that's all that matters. Most of times, we have forgotten that we were different in ethnicities. In other words, we have became colour blind.
|'Gotong-Royong' Day of the first semester.
|My classmates.
I use chopsticks, a fork and a spoon or a knife as utensils when eating for my whole life.
Other races like Malay and Indian are eating with bare hands. It sounds rare and uncommon for me.
It was awkward to eat with fork and spoon when other friends were eating with their bare hands and the restaurant did not supply any utensils. I took the eating-with-bare-hand challenge up when attending a camp dominated by other races.
#3: Join different societies and activities.
There are many societies and activities in polytechnic. The societies and activities in polytechnic works almost the same like university. Most of them are funded by the government agency and therefore usually it takes zero cost to join. I took the opportunity to travel Northern Malaysia while learning something different from the campus.
#4: Attend seminar, workshop or activities that not related to academic.
If you aren't sure whether or not you should get involved in extracurricular activities, you definitely need to consider all the benefits that come along with these activities.
The nature of teenage brain development means that teenagers are likely to seek out new experience. Some of us might having self-concious, learning to control and express emotions in a grown-up way. These things are not taught in class. We have to discover by joining activities not related to academic.
#5: Interview the industry.
Honestly, gain knowledge in classroom is bored. The best way to learn is visiting the industry and do interview because the sharing by industry is practical.
#6: Struggle for business research and build trust on a team.
Business research is the most struggling assignment for students from Commerce Department because we have to conduct our own research from A-Z.
It was also the time to examine friendship and trust on a team.
#6: Volunteer to help the authority.
On March 2015, PSP was assessed against the seven Asia Pacific Accreditation and Certification Commission (APACC) accreditation criteria – Governance and Management; Teaching and Learning; Faculty and Staff; Research and Development; Extension, Consultancy, and Linkages; Resources, and Support to Students. The assigned APACC team had CPSC Faculty Consultant Dr. Hazrat Hussain as the Team Leader. He was accompanied by Polytechnic University of the Philippines, College of Science Dean Dr. Theresita Atienza, APACC Officer Mr. Bryan Noel Lazaro, and Local Translator Ms. Nabil Yaacob. My friends and I have volunteered ourselves to help the polytechnic authority in entertaining the guests.
#7: Make the impossible possible.
Organize Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year events sounds ridiculous when there was only 1-2% of Chinese students in polytechnic.
It was not easy to convince the authority about the importance of cultural sharing.
On year 2013, a whole new record was built - the first Chinese cultural event was held successfully in the 15 years of history.
#8: Achievement
Top scorer without co-curricular achievement means nothing once convocation ended.
Be the top scorer with excellent co-curricular performance.
I am happy that I have perfect ending for my three year polytechnic life.
