A small apartment has many benefits, such as lower rent, a cosy atmosphere and often close proximity to the most happening city areas. Sometimes the size of your apartment is not so much a choice but a necessity due to a limited budget, starting out on your own for the first time, or the constraints of what's available in your area.
One of the biggest myths when it comes to furnishing small apartments is that the focus should be completely on functionality, but this can be dangerous. You wouldn't your living space to have more style, and creating comfortable environments that you enjoy being in can be just as practical as task-related areas.
The key is really to find the sweet spot where there is a balance between functionality for everyday activities and a interior design style which reflects your personal taste. This will ensure that you and your tiny apartment will get along great for years to come. Let's take a look at a few essential small apartment furnishing tips:
When you have limited living space at your disposal, you will probably long for a space to which you can retreat, rest and re-cooperate – a space that is solely yours. What better room than the bedroom for this purpose? Creating a peaceful and calming ambience in your bedroom will make it easier for you to specify the function and purposes of the other rooms, since you already have relaxation covered.
Keep to light colours, as it will make the room feel more expansive. Light blue is an excellent choice for the bedroom, since blue is a cool colour associated with tranquillity. Try and keep the colour palette simple though, too many colours will be confusing and much too hyper to be restful.
You'll quickly learn with a small apartment that you need to look for innovative ways a places to install storage areas. Storage is something that a small apartment has a great lack of, and you will have to think outside the single cupboard if you are going to find a docking station for all of your items and objects.
Your challenge with storage is to really thing long and hard about how you use space in your apartment. We get so used to falling into routines and designating certain spaces for certain things. But is this really the most effective solution to your storage needs? You have to consider where there is dead space in your home and what you can do to turn it into storage space.
A very effective method is to create storage space in a hallway. Hallways will always be there, but there is no reason for it to stand empty like a school corridor. Putting up hooks for coats, adding narrow drawers, and installing wooden boxes that double as storage space and seating, are all great options.

As small apartments are traditionally destined to be functional, entertainment areas can be especially constrictive. This merely means that you have to go out of your way to make the space feel intimate and comfortable – make it a favoured room despite its limited dimensions.
Many small apartments will have open-plan living areas. It is important to delineate the living room from other spaces, otherwise the entirety of the area might be visually overwhelming or look messy.
To make your living room cosy and intimate, the best way is to personalise it according to your individual tastes. Not only will the aesthetic be naturally pleasing to yourself, but you are sure to have all the things you like and no fringe objects. This is a great way to de-clutter and streamline – essentials for living in small spaces!
The kitchen is probably the one place where you would not want to compromise on functionality and would want to stick to prioritising it. Fortunately for us, though, functional and beautiful are no longer mutually exclusive. Kitchen planners are mindful of creating super practical items that will contribute to your home's aesthetic as well.
What you can try and do in the kitchen, is to add curves to the furniture and decor. This will help the space look less monotone and move away from that boxy look that has become all too pervasive in modern – and especially compact – kitchens.
In your petite apartment, closet space would certainly not have been a priority of the architect, but it might still be very important to you! Well, there is no need to fear, we will find a space for every last wedge and coat!
Although you can optimise existing closet space by adding shelves in the head space which would have otherwise remained unused, and adding coat hooks on the inside of closet doors, there is an even better option. Why not open the closet up altogether? This will immediately make the area feel spacious and allow easier access to all your items. Exposed shelving looks much neater and you can get more done with less space. Don't forget to work around corners – that's where you make up the most free space.
So, the bathroom is also an area where you will have some fixed items which are non-negotiable. This does not, however, mean that you have to forego all hopes of an aesthetically pleasing sanitation area. The important thing here is to remember that less is not only more, but minimal is beautiful.
Focus your creative energy in the bathroom on picking out a few simple elements sure to beautify the space. A coloured or textured tile insert, for example, can make a big difference. Also consider your materials – wooden cabinets and woven drawers add an elegant touch.
Let's face it, it's not difficult to run out of rooms for entertainment in a small apartment. So, why not make more? It isn't necessary to tear into the flat next door for an extension, you can simply give new live to your balcony for a new function.
Regardless of how you want to use your new-found entertainment space, the first step will be to create a sense of privacy on it. This will allow you to populate the area as if it were another room in the home. You can do this by adding plants for absorbing sound and limiting the view from the outside in. Also thing of adding a barrier, such as a DIY one made out of wooden pallets.

Super Bowl Column: 49ers have rich tradition of excellence
By Xavier Bleuel
The San Francisco 49ers came into Super Bowl 47 steeped in tradition. Only a few professional teams can match the overall success of the 49ers. The owner of five Vince Lombardi and six George Halas trophies, 49er fans expect greatness from their football team. They won four Super Bowl titles in the 1980s—the most dominant stretch one team has ever had in any decade in the Super Bowl era.
They are home to 12 Hall-of-Fame members. Just a few members of that list include the best quarterback of all time, Joe Montana, or Joe "Cool," without a doubt the best wide receiver to ever lace up the cleats; Jerry Rice, the hardest hitting safety this game has ever seen; Ronnie Lott; and another top-five quarterback of all-time, Steve Young. The 49ers play in one of the most iconic venues in all of football: Candlestick Park, nestled on western shore of San Francisco Bay.
The 49ers as an organization itself holds a few Super Bowl records, and a plethora of players hold individual records in the big game. They are a perfect 5-0 in the big game. In Super Bowl XXIV, the 49ers broke two records: most points scored in a game and margin of victory in a 55-10 blowout of the John Elway led Denver Broncos. Under the biggest lights, the 49ers have shined.
However, before last season, the 49ers had missed the playoffs in nine consecutive seasons. They changed head coaches on four different occasions. This was not what the 49er faithful had been used to. Change needed to be made. They had drafted well; the 49ers were one of the more talented teams in the league. What was missing was leadership, a voice that men would follow to the end. That search ended when a former pro-bowl quarterback turned coach was hired on. From day one, Jim Harbaugh, former Indianapolis Colts star, instilled a level of commitment and excellence that has resulted in an NFC champion appearance and now a Super Bowl appearance.
This year's team came into this season void of a Super Bowl appearance the year prior. In the 2011-12 NFC Championship game, two special teams' fumbles in a game they dominated start to finish against the eventual champions, the New York Giants, cost them the opportunity to advance to the Super Bowl. That left a bitter taste in the mouth of a very young, physical, and talented team.
However, in this year's pre-season, many experts pegged the 49ers as the favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
The 49ers finished the regular season with an 11-4-1 record. Notable wins came against Green Bay, Chicago, Seattle, New Orleans, and New England. The team that seemed to have the 49ers' number were the St. Louis Rams, tying in one game and losing the other.
The biggest news of the season came in week 10 when starter Alex Smith suffered a concussion. Thus, Harbaugh called upon unknown second year backup Colin Kaepernick.
Kaepernick was a raw talent if there ever was one. At 6'5" and 233 pounds, he had the size. Running a 40 yard dash in 4.5 seconds, he had the speed. Add a laser rocket arm and he had all of the physical tools you need to play in the league. But could he combine deadly accuracy with the cannon of an arm? Coach Harbaugh believed he could. In his fist draft as an NFL coach as he traded up in the 2nd round of the 2011 NFL draft to select the young man out of the University of Nevada.
In his first start against the Chicago Bears, not only did he answer those questions with a resounding yes, but also far exceeding any expectations with an outstanding performance throwing for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns against one of the league best defenses. The biggest surprise wasn't what Kaepernick did; its what he didn't do: turn the ball over against a defense that led the league in take-a-ways.
Kaepernick never lost the job after that performance. Coach Harbaugh caught fire from the media for not determining a permanent starter between Kaepernick and Smith. On one hand he had a quarterback in Alex Smith that had been through many ups-and-downs with the franchise and was working his way to become one of the better quarterbacks in the league; but her could also go with the most dynamic quarterback the league has seen since Michael Vick. Week 15 was when the decision was final and Kaepernick was the permanent starter. The reason why was the added dimensions that he adds with his legs as well as his arm.
The Super Bowl marked his 10th NFL start, which stands as the third fewest starts ever to make it to the big game.

So much for the idea that New York City is home to cranky, crotchety, chronically unhappy people who are never, ever O.K. with anything. A new survey found that 84 percent are "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the city as a place to live. Only 4 percent said they were not at all satisfied.
The grins were almost as wide when they were asked if they liked the specific part of the city they call home: 82 percent said they were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their neighborhood. Good addresses everywhere.
Vin Cipolla, the president of the Municipal Art Society of New York, which commissioned the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion to do the survey,
sounded happy that everybody was happy. And, at first, he also sounded surprised about the findings.
"There's a lot of dark reporting and dark news that comes out of New York," he said, "but it's the only place we would want to be, so in that way, we are satisfied, and maybe given the times we're living in, there's really no surprise. Compared with other parts of the nation, unemployment is lower here. In terms of the foreclosure rate nationally, we're No. 72 out of 366 markets. So relatively speaking, we're faring a little better."
No doubt there will be more happy talk on Thursday at a conference on the city's livability that the society is sponsoring. Mr. Cipolla plans to open the "Summit for New York City" by saying that as a Manhattanite, he is happy that Manhattan emerged as the friendliest borough in the survey, though not by much: 28 percent said it was friendliest, trailed by Brooklyn (24 percent) and Queens (23 percent). The Bronx and Staten Island were tied with 7 percent each. Eleven percent said they were not sure. (One of the panels at the conference, on the demographics of a changing city, will be moderated by Sam Roberts, a reporter for The New York Times.)
Other borough-by-borough breakdowns? "You find out Brooklyn is the most activist borough, Manhattan is the most preservation oriented, Manhattanites are more inclined to support small business in their neighborhood, and Manhattanites and Queens residents are more inclined to buy things in made in New York City," he said.
That last point referred to a question that asked, "When you see a 'made in New York' label, which comes closer to your view?" There were three choices. "You are contributing to the local economy" got 57 percent, while 29 percent chose "You are paying too much for the product." Fourteen percent said they were unsure.
The survey did find some unhappiness among the 1,005 adults who were questioned (they were chosen at random and interviewed by telephone between Sept. 29 and Oct. 6). Almost 40 percent of Bronx residents surveyed, and almost a quarter of those from Queens and Brooklyn, said they would move out of the city if they could.
Brooklyn residents were the least happy with their parks, Mr. Cipolla said, and those in the Bronx were the least satisfied "right across the board — about schools, about safety, about what's happening in their communities." The survey found, for example, that 47 percent of Bronx residents considered police protection fair or poor, and 43 percent said the quality of shopping in their neighborhoods was fair or poor.
All of that, he said, makes the Bronx "an extraordinary primer for more intensified, targeted investment."
"It suffers," he said, "and I can't help but think about how that correlates to national or federal policy as a whole. We have encouraged sprawl development outside our cities, and we haven't done well by our cities for decades."
Edwin Torres, associate director of the Rockefeller Foundation, which gave the society a $150,000 grant for the conference and the survey, said that disparities in happiness had to do with income and borough. All in all, Staten Island was the happiest borough (95 percent of its residents said they were "happy" or "very happy"), followed by Queens (93 percent), Manhattan (91 percent), Brooklyn (89 percent) and the Bronx (86 percent).
But the survey found that 12 percent of Latinos and 10 percent of African-Americans described themselves as not very happy, compared with 5 percent of whites.

By turn of the 19th century weavers faced a new set of problems. As the cotton industry developed in England, Indian cotton weavers faced two problems - their export market collapsed and local market shrank being flooded with British goods. Indian handmade goods could not compete with fine machine made goods of England.
By 1860, they faced a new problem. They could not get sufficient supply of raw cotton which was sent to England for their industries after American world war. The prices of raw cotton shot up and Indian
weavers were forced to buy raw cotton at exorbitant prices. In most cases they were unable to pay.
By the end of 19th century, Indian weavers again got a blow when textile factories were set up in India flooding market with machine made goods. It was . difficult for the weavers to survive.

If your fashion sense is non-existent and your style is disastrous, you've found the perfect article. You don't have to be known as a fashion disaster. With some effort, your look will drastically improve. There are a wealth of fashion tips to help you, so keep reading.
Pull the hair up from your shoulders for a casual, but nice, look. There is rarely time while at work or school to deal with long hair. If you do not have time for a more elaborate style, just pull it into a cute bun.
If you put on mascara, do not continually put the brush inside and outside of the container. This will only trap air in your mascara container. This can increase the chances of bacterial growth. If you want to make certain your brush is coated, move it a bit within the container.
It is not important to be perfect when fashion is involved. First of all, no one in this world is perfect. Also, if you attempt perfection, you may look like you are investing too much time and effort into the process. You might have noticed that the "rough" look is actually a great look anyone can pull off. For example, some hair that's out of place, or a jacket that's worn and torn, etc, can create a purposeful tattered look that really stands out in a crowd.
When you are traveling, bring clothing in different shades of neutral colors that you can mix and match with each other. This ensures that you will not have to be concerned about colors clashing. Use belts and scarves as accessories to help you appear pulled-together.
Reduce the clutter in your closet for extra storage room. While you may think that having more clothes gives you more choices, that is actually false. If your closet is too filled up, you end up never knowing what fashion choice to select. Pick through your entire wardrobe and take out the things you aren't wearing or that do not fit you anymore. It's better to have a few fashionable options than a closet full of things you will never wear.
Stay away from horizontal stripes if you're overweight. Certain patterns will draw attention to how wide your body is. If you love stripes, try a vertical pattern instead. This elongates your frame, drawing the eye up and down.
Be mindful of sizing. Don't purchase something that you haven't tried on. Sizes are no longer based on set measurements. They differ between brands. When purchasing online, make sure to check out the sizing chart. Also, make sure that you can return items that don't fit.
The introduction to this article emphasized that less-than-stellar style is something that can be changed. With just a bit of time and effort, your style will look much better. Follow the advice here, and you will look wonderful.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.

According to research from The London Book Fair, more than two-thirds of 18 to 23-year-olds read episodic fiction--and 41% read it every month. Serial publishing is all the rage. Of course, this isn't surprising--at least not to me. The wild popularity of Serial showed us all that there is a market for storytelling that keeps listeners--or readers--dangling at the end of each week's episode.
People are natural storytellers. For centuries, storytelling was the primary way that cultures around the world preserved their traditions and kept their customs alive. Over the last few years, B2B marketers have strayed from one of the most natural, easy ways to influence an audience-the art of storytelling. It is as though metric-packed case studies have replaced the purposeful narrative. Many marketers have been so focused on metrics, proof points, efficiency, and buzzwords that they've lost sight of the fact that customers are human beings who crave a good story. It is no surprise when they stop reading.

So many clients and organizations view content creation and maintenance as a craft. But if we look deeper at this emerging trend, the concept of craft is born of individuals who have honed their skills over time. Bakers, blacksmiths, and carpenters all grew their trades and were often restricted to trial and error before achieving the desired outcome. As a result, they developed tricks and time-saving practices using jigs and templates.

Just a few short years ago, it seemed as if the bottom had fallen out for marketing talent-including writers, graphic designers, videographers, and more. In a declining economy, marketing budgets are often the first to feel the pain. But companies have actively looked for less expensive and more cost-effective ways to get the word out about their products and services. Additionally, Google has tinkered with its algorithms to provide SEO rewards to those who can supply rich, varied, and original content on a regular basis. And so, demand for talent has outstripped supply.

Banner ads are outdated. Content marketing is king. Ad blockers are the wave of the future. Digital marketing is dead.

We often hear these names associated with upstart brands, but in 2015, Andy Goldberg was named GE's first chief creative officer. "This position was created as the landscape of marketing continues to evolve," says Goldberg. "We, as a company, need to stay ahead and have new perspectives on how to lead our brand."

The relevance of content marketing continues to rise. Brands that wish to succeed in this area have dramatically increased their investment in creating high-quality content and promoting it effectively. But some have found themselves unable to make the connection between customers and company, which creates a gap. Although their objective is to "get found," companies often find there's an unexpected contrast between the reasons why they "do" content marketing and the actual results of reaching customers.

In today's shifting consumer landscape, emerging technologies and mobile and web applications are rapidly changing the way brands reach their customers. The industry has evolved from a pre-internet world of attracting customers with aesthetically pleasing, well-organized storefronts in the right location, to a whole new strategy.

Do you have an ad blocker installed on your web browser? According to the 2015 report, "The Cost of Ad Blocking," from Adobe and PageFair, there are "198 million active adblock users around the world." In the U.S., ad blocking grew by 48% last year. At this point, though, only 16% of ad block traffic is mobile. That may sound as if it's good news, but it could also mean that there is a lot of room for mobile ad blocking growth.

Roho ni ile ile, the people will say with a sigh as they brace to lower previously held high performance expectations of elected leaders. And in the context of public service, this will often mean that mwananchi expected better performance from leaders, but as it turned out, this was too much to expect. The disappointments come in thick and fast and hopes for better, changed governance are lost.
With devolution, the excitement was that finally locals will have a say in the manner in which their local resources are managed and that the national cake will be better shared and managed to make a difference in their lives. A difference evident in the increased number of student enrolment in schools, especially primary and secondary. Perhaps to have better quality of classrooms, better healthcare facilities, with quality care; reduce long distances that women especially have to trek in such of water for domestic use. Improve the local business environment. The list of expectations go on and on. After all, this was the carrot during the campaign for the new constitution. After many years of public administration under the old constitutional dispensation that entrenched central government authority, the yearning has been there for the voice of the people to be listened to. The central government appeared very far off and could not clearly hear the voice of the citizen; and when it did, through the then provincial administration, it was often a one way conversation, top down monologue in which the citizen was expected receive instructions and to obey and act accordingly.

Hi Kelly,
The dispute between Buyer, uhoo1314 and me had not been settled yet... can i report her? Or should I lodge a police report? Would appreciate your reply. Thanks.
Dear kelly. I bought a used prada bag abt a year ago from deluxemall seller 'baghaven'.. she sold a lot of used authentic chanel..prada.. etc.. today I resold the same bag I bought from her to another deluxemall buyer.. I told her to check it before purchase. She later wanted a refund stating that the bag I sold her is not authentic and wants to make a police report against me if I dont refund her, which I think is unfounded. If really the bag is not authentic, i too want a refund. Pls kindly advise. Thk u Kelly. http://deluxemall.com/prada/66581-so...-200-only.htmlhttp://deluxemall.com/prada/66581-so...-200-only.html
Hi Kelly
On Sep 18, I made a 4k deposit to SnowBlind for a hermes rose Tyrien 25cm birkin. She had promised to deliver the bag on end of Sep. On due date, the bag was not delivered. I contacted her and she told me the bag will arrive only on weekend of 11th Oct. I spoke to her this evening(9th oct ) and she told me she may have been conned by her friend. I may not be able to get bag or my deposit back. Please help.
Hi Kelly, afternumerous conversation with Snowblind, she had returned my deposit of SGD 4k this morning. However, I would like to share this experiences with you. No seller should sell bags if they do not have the ready stocks available.
