Those following the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Warsaw last week may have observed the Duchess playfully suggesting that they should try for a third child, in response to the number of gifts they had received for Prince George and Princess Charlotte from dignitaries and well-wishers. While the sentiment was most probably lighthearted, it seems that one organisation is a little alarmed at the prospect.
Having Kids, a San Francisco based non-profit organisation that promotes smaller families in the belief they are more environmentally and economically sustainable, have made the effort to reach out to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in an open letter to urge them to reconsider any plans for expanding their family.
Citing concerns with regards to the effects an increasing population is having on the environment, Having Kids Executive Director Anne Green and the organisation's President Carter Dillard implored the Cambridges to set an example to Britain, and the rest of the world, by consciously limiting the number of children they have. In particular, their open letter highlighted that studies have shown a link between high population growth and man-made climate change, and have pointed out that Britain in particular is most at risk from extreme weather, rising sea levels, and more severe flooding.
They also expressed their philosophy of family planning being something that benefits every family, as the resources that would have been taken up by a third child are now freed up for other families and their children. Calling this the Fair Start model, Having Kids believes this creates a fairer and more prosperous society overall.
As of yet, no response from the Duke and Duchess has emerged.
The Royal Family has a long history of being public role models, a trend that was first established by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who together set the trend for Victorian middle-class families up until the Edwardian era. Largely a way of distinguishing Queen Victoria from the hedonistic and scandalous antics of her predecessor, King George IV, it helped establish a more sober and moralistic attitude for British public and family life. This influence continues to this day, although to a lesser degree. Typically the Cambridges' tends to be limited more to fashion than behaviour, with clothes seen worn by the Duchess and her children quickly enjoying spikes in sales, a phenomenon called "the Cambridge effect."
Responses from the public to the open letter have been mixed. One follower on Facebook decried the letter as "the most ridiculous thing [they] had ever read," and commented that Having Kids has no right to tell people how many children they can or cannot have.
Already possessed of an heir and a spare, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge can probably concede that they have done their duty with regards to continuing the House of Windsor line, and as such no longer have any pressure on them for further children. Whether or not they choose to gift Prince George and Princess Charlotte with an additional sibling is ultimately up to them, and it remains to be seen whether Having Kids has had any impact on their plans for any further pitter-pattering of tiny royal feet.

We'll send you a newsletter from time to time. Enter your details below.
During July to September 2014 we have been running creative taster sessions in collaboration with Age UK Sheffield to see if a cultural offer for their membership would be well received. Ultimately helping to support their membership to tackle feelings of isolation and loneliness. The overwhelming feedback from those who took part was very positive indeed and the sessions were lively and full of chatter and laughter.
Studio Holders at Exchange Place Jane Huws delivered a basic weaving workshop and Donna Brewins took people through a sensory watercolour painting session. Alex Blakey, based in Huddersfield led a fused glass jewellery session.
For some the sessions ignited a previously unknown interest, others a hidden talent. All who took part enjoyed trying their hand at something new and learning and talking with the artists. So with lots of requests for more Age UK Sheffield will be approaching the artists who very generously contributed their time and resources for free to work with them to deliver sessions on a paid basis. And they want to continue to work in partnership with Yorkshire Artspace to extend the cultural offer within their service. So watch this space for future developments and opportunities.

Mobile phones have come a long way, at the beginning, they were utilized only for calling and messaging. That evolved for a long time, times have converted. Those ordinary feature phones are long gone and people are getting a move to smartphones. The smartphone users usually tend to switch it with a cycle of 2-3 years. Now, this is what causing to increase a lot of e-waste. Google's plan to thin out this E-waste was to build a modular smartphone named "Project ARA". It not only solves the problem of E-waste but customizability too. In the earlier stages of Google's modular smartphone Project ARA, its main motive was to give the user control of the every part of the phone. Lately, in that respect are many modular phones launching but they are just the other kind of modular smartphones, semi-modular. Semi-modular phones like Moto Z and LGG5 has got some really nice attention and did fairly good too.
After a lot of delays and changes made on the program, it is said that Google has currently suspended its "Project ARA" that was worked on for more than 2 years. The modular phone itself was showcased with some progress and modifications in the platform for the last 2 years. If you didn't know a lot about Google's modular phone "Project ARA", it is believed to be a modular smartphone with the capabilities of completely reorganize the phone. Need additional RAM? Swap it out and add the new one. Higher resolution camera? Simple, again replace it with the other one. This is a real game changer idea that Google brought until they altered it. The mockup shown in #io2016 was little different from what their vision was, the mockup could only change those speakers and add a fingerprint scanner or a battery. In a way, that disappointed a little for geeks and people like me. At #io2016 Google announced that they would be releasing a Developer version this fall and consumer edition in 2016.
Initially, Motorola announced this project 3 years ago, under Google. But, Google retained and took command of the whole Project ARA while selling the Motorola Mobility to Lenovo. Recode states that the search giant Google may license the project ARA to other collaborators. That's some small hope! But still, Google won't launch the Modular smartphone itself as we anticipated for so long.amazon diwali offers 2017 amazon diwali sale

What's in Juxta: A fairytale of modern society?
Birth of the consumer
The priest
will predict
the birth
of a new consumer
by chanting
his far-famed
sales talk.
After a consumer is born,
it is left alone
for one night
at the temple of Elibom.
It is during this night
that it conceives its connection
to all the knowledge known
to mankind.
On the second day
in the life
of the new born consumer,
a village elder
the selfie staff
the youngster
will carry
throughout his life.
He uses
his own hands
and wisdom
to order the staff
On Line.
The consumer
will carry his selfie staff
throughout his life.
It will house the relic
that holds all his knowledge.
The conjunction of
the relic
and the staff
will help him
make the hardest choices
and guide him
in times of need.
As the old saying goes,
"there is only the illusion
of free will."
Coming of age
When coming of age,
the youngster will take up
a journey
deep into the forest
where the god of silence
Everything has
its own way here.
Ego does not
within its borders.
He will gamble
his only link
to everything he knows,
his 3G connection.
If successful
the youngster will find
true self
and thus achieve
a better understanding
of everything encompassing him.
He will find
his 4G connection
and enter manhood.

To let us dawdle- stay forever in our past
please let my fingers race and nudge your nape
and let the silver moonbeams slice the glass
of windows as before, to tempt, invite the snake.
Let's splice our legs, retie our knots again,
and spend another starlit night awake,
forever is too short in velvet chains
on sheets as shackles, let us live on dreams
of undulating moves and drink Champagne
to soak and stretch like saplings seek the stream
ignore the crags and boulders meet the shore
where we find warmth, alive to burn the schemes
of ends, this deed unsigned declaring war
let's mend the bridges — make it as before.
Today Kerry want's is to use quotes from either Leonard Nimoy or Sir Terry Pratchett at Toads. I worked a little opposite trying to find the quote that fitted the next installment of my Sonnet Corona, and when I saw Nimoy's final tweet, I felt it fitted what I wanted to use. Sorry for making it backward.

We're all about celebrating love in interesting places, unique relationships documented in creative ways, traveling and finding adventure and so much more. When our local Milwaukee pal Danielle at Rosewood Weddings sent over this darling boho wedding on Block Island, Rhode Island, we were thrilled to find that it beautifully captures all of those aspects! Together with an amazing team of vendors, these lovebirds, Ginger and Charlie, pulled together a beautiful boho-inspired wedding with plenty of coastal details, tropical florals, pineapples and a vintage VW van converted into a seriously rad photo booth.
If you're a bride-to-be with a soft spot for anything boho, you are going to LOVE these elements. Now take a look at these gorgeous photos by Julia Wade!
This rustic sign with custom calligraphy by Rosewood Weddings in Milwaukee has a special story. Of course, Ginger kept her maiden name after her marriage to Charlie because, in fact, the bride and groom had the same surname! You can bet their guests had a chuckle or two over this cleverly designed sign.
With custom wedding invitations, the creative opportunities are literally endless. No other detail can so specifically capture the uniqueness of a couple's wedding, which is why we're so head over heels for this unique watercolor invitation suite by Minted. You've probably seen this invitation add-on before but frankly, no one gets tired of adorable hand-drawn maps!
We certainly love a boho wedding with juicy, tropical elements such as pineapples. What a cute, simple and affordable way to add visual detail throughout the venue!
We love unique photo booths for two important reasons: memorable entertainment for wedding guests and, of course, MORE PHOTOS! For most of you engaged couples, your wedding day will be the BIGGEST event you will ever host for family and friends. Make it count by ramping up the FUN factor and ensuring those fleeting memories are captured! For these reasons, we're so digging this vintage VW van converted into a photo booth. It's basically a must for you vintage-loving Rhode Island couples!
You might consider these chairs a wedding-scene trend, but frankly, we think they're here to stay—and we couldn't be happier about it! If you're planning a boho wedding, these vintage rattan chairs are simply a must. Our advice is to stick with a few iconic pieces and incorporate highly unique details elsewhere. If you're looking for more unusual-but-exciting wedding detail ideas, check out our list of 10 Incredibly Cool Wedding Details to Wow Your Guests.
As we've already mentioned, we love a boho wedding with tropical influence like this bold, bright, citrus color palette. We love this color palette so much in fact, we're predicting a full-on trend of citrus and yellow color palettes for 2019 weddings. (You heard it from us first!)
We ADORE a touch of glam to this tropical boho wedding with gold pineapples. We're also loving how this styling team ditched the traditional ribbon on the cocktail tables and opted for a more theme-appropriate tropical garland.
Did we mention how much we love to be entertained at weddings? We think Ginger and Charlie nailed the entertainment factor with the VW photo booth and by incorporating an assortment of totally photogenic lawn games.

New Olde Cape Cod
Olde Cape Cod was itself looking a bit old. Seedhouse refreshed the logo with small, incremental changes, so as to hold on to the existing brand equity. We then took a look at refreshing the packaging design. We refocused the photography on the crackers themselves. Adding hits of color to the Seasoned line allowed for easier shopability.

Anna, her grandmother, left Europe, and settled in America where she became a psychciatrist; whilst Armand had been amongst other things in his long career, a translator during the Nurenberg trials. Two very different people, two very different personalities. Anna, an open and caring woman who wanted the best for her granddaughter, and Armand, a closed book, who was very bitter about life and who referred to his (ex?)wife as "that witch", amongst other insults, all the while showing love to his granddaughter so long as his wife was not mentioned. So with the Atlantic between them, they never met and never talked again and somehow, Miranda Richmond had to find out why this happened.
I thought it was going to be rather dry when I started to read, but it wasn't long before I was engaged in this odd, mysterious family history. The author will tell you everything she found. Both grandparents would not tell her anything about why they couldn't stay together, and that mystery is solved only by the author towards the end of the book. Fortunately, her grandmother kept a great many papers which helped, but I must say Miranda Richmond was tenacious. It took ten years, and a lot of research - and here's the book!
If you are interested in Jewish history and/or WW2, this has a very different slant from records of Holocaust survivors and their testimonies. Nevertheless, it is a record of a time and place that those born without memories of war and the horrors that man can inflict on his fellow man may find intriguing and fascinating. Certainly the author was intrigued enough to continue digging and I thank her for that - for this rather sad, but understandable and ultimately redeeming story is another part of the jigsaw of WW2, as well as a little piece of her own family history.

A few of history's worst quotes from believers Compiled by Jim Walker
...the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt...
--The author of Exodus describing the actions of the killer God in Ex. 12:29
Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
--Author of 1 Samuel describing God's instructions (I Sam.15:2-3)
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
--Psalm 137:9 (KJV)
For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
--Paul [I Corinthians 11:8-9]
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
--Paul [I Corinthians 14:34-35]
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
--Paul (I Tim 2:12)
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
--The alleged Jesus in Matthew 10:34
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
--The alleged Jesus in Luke 19:27
And I will kill her children with death...
--The alleged Jesus in Rev. 2:23 KJV
After Jesus Christ we have no need of curiosity, after the Gospel no need of research. When we come to believe, we have no desire to believe anything else; for we begin by believing that there is nothing else which we have to believe.
--Tertullian (160?-220? C.E.), Prescriptions Against Heretics
It is not permitted for a woman to speak in the church, nor is it permitted for her to teach, nor to baptize, nor to offer [the eucharist], nor to claim for herself a share in any masculine function-- not to mention any priestly office.
--Tertullian, (160?-220? C.E.), Adversus Valentinianos
The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives on even in our times and so it is necessary that the guilt should live on, also. You are the one who opened the door to the Devil, you are the one who first plucked the fruit of the forbidden tree, you are the first who deserted the divine law; you are the one who persuaded him whom the Devil was not strong enough to attack. All too easily you destroyed the image of God, man. Because of your desert, that is, death, even the Son of God had to die.
--Tertullian, (160?-220? C.E.), The Apparel of Women
Bow your heads to your husbands--and that will be ornament enough for you. Keep your hands busy with spinning and stay at home--and you will be more pleasing than if you were adorned in gold. Dress yourselves in the silk of probity, the fine linen of holiness, and the purple of chastity. Decked out in this manner, you will have God Himself for your lover.
--Tertullian, (160?-220? C.E.), The Apparel of Women
For the preservation of chastity, an empty and rumbling stomach and fevered lungs are indispensable.
--Jerome (340?-420 C.E.)
Nothing is so much to be shunned as sex relations.
--Augustine (354 C.E.- 430 C.E.)
There is another form of temptation, even more fraught with danger. This is the disease of curiosity. It is this which drives us to ttry and discover the secrets of nature, those secrets which are beyond our understanding, which can avail us nothing and which man should not wish to learn.
--Augustine (354 C.E.- 430 C.E.)
Woman was merely man's helpmate, a function which pertains to her alone. She is not the image of God but as far as man is concerned, he is by himself the image of God.
--Augustine (354 C.E.- 430 C.E.)
And they who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, such are rightful owners of hell.
--Allah's alleged words in the Quran, 5:10
The only reward of those, who wage war against ALLAH and HIS Messenger and strive to create disorder in the land, is that they be slain or crucified or their hands and feet be cut off on account of their enmity, or they be expelled from the land. That shall be a disgrace for them in this world, and in the Hereafter they shall have a great punishment.
--Allah's alleged words in the Quran, 5:33
In front of such a one is Hell, and he is given, for drink, boiling fetid water.
--Allah's alleged words in the Quran 14:16
Kill them all, God will recognize his own.
--Arnald-Amalric, 1208 (when asked by the Crusaders what to do with the citizens of Beziers who were a mixture of Catholics and Cathars)
Woman is a misbegotten man and has a faulty and defective nature in comparison to his. Therefore she is unsure in herself. What she cannot get, she seeks to obtain through lying and diabolical deceptions. And so, to put it briefly, one must be on one's guard with every woman, as if she were a poisonous snake and the horned devil. ... Thus in evil and perverse doings woman is cleverer, that is, slyer, than man. Her feelings drive woman toward every evil, just as reason impels man toward all good.
--Albertus Magnus, Catholic bishop, 13 century
As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of woman comes from a defect in the active force or from some material indisposition, or even from some external influence.
--Thomas Aquinas, 13th century
We should always be disposed to believe that which appears to us to be white is really black, if the hierarchy of the church so decides.
--St. Ignatius Loyola (1500)
We come to conquer this land by his [King of Spain] command, that all may come to a knowledge of God and of His Holy Catholic Faith; and by reason of our good mission, God, the Creator of heaven and earth and of all things in them, permits this, in order that you may know Him and come out from the bestial and diabolical life that you lead.... Our Lord permitted that your pride should be brought low and that no Indian should be able to offend a Christian.
--Spanish conquistador, Francisco Pizarro to the Inca emperor Atahuallpa at Peru in 1532 (quoted from Jared Diamod's "Guns, Germs, and Steel")
If a man is in open rebellion, everyone is both his judge and his executioner. . . Therefore, let everyone who can, smite, slay, and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful, or devilish than a rebel. It is just as when one must kill a mad dog.
--Martin Luther (Against the Robbing and Murdering Hordes of Peasants, 1525)
Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
--Martin Luther (First Psalm Lectures, Luther's Works, Vol. 11, p.285)
Christ wants to slay reason and subdue the arrogance of the Jews...
--Martin Luther (Sermons on the Gospel of St. John, Luther's Works, V.22, p.320)
Whoever wants to be a Christian must be intent on silencing the voice of reason.
--Martin Luther (Sermons on the Gospel of St. John, Luther's Works, V.23, p. 99)
A woman has no control over herself.
--Martin Luther (Letter to Several Nuns, 6 Aug. 1524)
God the Almighty grants to all magistrates and judges the grace to pass judgement on the wicked and to protect the devout. But how does one recognize the devout? They are those who hear God's word and believe it with their whole hearts, as Christ taught us. Who are the wicked? Those who despise God's commandment, to which they give public witness before the whole world with their sinful actions.
--Jakob Dachser (A Godly and Fundamental Revelation, 1527)
We are at fault in not slaying them [the Jews].
--Martin Luther (On the Jews and their lies, 1543)
For we must hold, that our mind never rises seriously to desire and aspire after the future, until it has learned to despise the present life. 2. For there is no medium between the two things: the earth must either be worthless in our estimation, or keep us enslaved by an intemperate love of it. Therefore, if we have any regard to eternity, we must carefully strive to disencumber ourselves of these fetters.

Who will venture to place the authority of Copernicus above that of the Holy Spirit?

--John Calvin, (1509-1564)
To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin.
--Cardinal Bellarmine (during the Inquisition of Galileo)
If the people will let us alone we will preach the gospel in peace. But if they come on to molest us, we will establish our religion by the sword. We will trample down our enemies and make it one gore of blood from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. I will be to this generation a second Mohammed, whose motto in treating for peace was "the Alcoran [Koran]
or the Sword." So shall it eventually be with us.

Why, of course the people don't want war... but, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament or a communist dictatorship... voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.

You say what's going to happen on this earth when the Rapture occurs? You'll be riding along in an automobile; you'll be the driver, perhaps; you're a Christian; there'll be several people in the automobile with you, maybe someone who is not a Christian. When the trumpet sounds, you and the other born-again Christians in that automobile will be instantly caught away, you'll disappear, leaving behind your clothing and physical things that cannot inherit eternal life. That unsaved person or persons in the automobile will suddenly be startled to find that the car is moving along without a driver, and suddenly somewhere crashes. Those saved people in the car have disappeared.
--Rev. Jerry Falwell (broadcast excerpt on National Public Radio cassette Ronald Reagan and the Prophecy of Armageddon by Joe Cuomo.)
Is he [the Antichrist] alive and here today? Probably. Because when he appears during the Tribulation period he will be a full-grown counterfeit of Christ. Of course he'll be Jewish. Of course he'll pretend to be Christ. And if in fact the Lord is coming soon, and he'll be an adult at the presentation of himself, he must be alive somewhere today.''
--Rev. Jerry Falwell at a conference in Kingsport, Tenn., 14 Jan. 1999

I talk to my only friend Jesus our "LORD"! I know "JESUS" understands my terrible desires and ect. I have tords little boys!

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners... But for that very reason, I was shown mercy so that in me...

Now to the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.
--Jeffrey Dahmer, convicted serial killer, in a statement to the court, Milwaukee, WI, February 17, 1992. (Note, "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners" comes from 1 Timothy 1:15)\
Suppose that you, a religious person, decide to rent out an apartment over your garage. Along comes a possible renter who seems to meet all of your requirements, except that he lets slip, in casual conversation, that he is a Satanist. . . . If you follow the law ... then you must allow on your property activities that your religion forbids. You might even fear the hellfire. . . . As we have seen, the Supreme Court has made such a mess of the right to exercise one's religion freely that there is little chance the claim for an exemption would succeed. So you would, in the name of nondiscrimination, be stuck with the Satanist.
--Stephen L. Carter (The Culture of Disbelief, pp. 136-137, 1993)
My children, Michael and Alex, are with our Heavenly Father now, and I know that they will never be hurt again. As a mom, that means more than words could ever say. . . My children deserve to have the best, and now they will. . . I have put my total faith in God, and he will take care of me.

--Randall Terry
Both the Magisterium of the Church. . . . and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action. The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose.

Kunatani Nominated For Award
Vodafone Fijian 7s star Semi Kunatani has been named as one of the top three nominees for the 2015 World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year.
World Rugby said: "Kunatani has been impressive in both attack and defence for Ben Ryan's side in all of their Cup titles this season, finishing the season as one of the leading tacklers and try scorers (40 tries to his name)."
World Rugby went on to state that having made his debut in Dubai last season, the Fijian has earned a contract with French club Toulouse for next season, but coach Ryan will have him available for four series tournaments next season, and the Olympics, should he select him.
Named alongside Kunatani for the top honour was South African duo Werner Kok and Seabelo Senatla. Kok praised as having 'been instrumental in South Africa's performances in all nine of the 2014-15 tournaments' while Senatla ended the season as the leading try-scorer.
In addition to Kunatani's nomination, he was named alongside skipper Osea Kolinisau in the overall series dream team and joined by USA's Zack Test, English skipper Tom Mitchell and South African trio Kwagga Smith, Kok and Seabelo Senatla.
Dynamo Seremaia Tuwai was awarded the Rookie of the Year award, beating American Eagles' speedster Perry Baker and New Zealand All Blacks 7s debutant Reiko Ioane.
Meanwhile, Amenoni Nasilasila and Isake Katonibau were named in the 2015 London 7s dream team alongside American duo Danny Barrett and Madison Hughes, English captain Mitchell and Australian speedster Pama Fou.
Ryan was overwhelmed by the accomplishment when speaking to World Rugby following the South Africa Cup quarterfinal victory that sealed their hold on the series title.
"I can't really put them into words at the moment. We've won 29 out of our last 30 games, so we are on a pretty hot streak and I've got a great team around me."
After defeating South Africa 19-7, Fiji lost to Australia 7-33 in the Cup semifinal, but bounced back to defeat England 26-12 in the third/fourth place play-off.

☕ Primero pensé que estaba exagerando, pero después de probar varias veces tengo que decir que en Croacia el café "de kiosco" y el café to-go (sin ser de especialidad) es bastante bueno. Posiblemente porque usan máquinas de la vecina Italia… Qué sé yo 🤷 lo cierto es que me he tomado cappuccinos increíbles a precios irrisorios. Además no está demasiado lindo este vasito? 😄 #coffeecupsoftheworld #croatia #evilcoffee #cappuccino #coffeecups #coffeegram #coffeelovers #dubrovnik #croatiatravel #timeoutcroatia #travellife #eurotrip #freelancerlife #travelfoodie #evileats #coffeeshopsaroundtheworld
5. The day starts early for Croatians. Most coffee shops open at 7am, and I even found a bikini shop open at 8am in Dubrovnik. Downside: Sundays are dead.
6. In many coffee shops they bring the check to the table right away, along with your order. I have to say, I hate this.

7. In some towns of Istria and the North, Italian is commonly spoken along with Croatian and they eat a lot of Pasta too.
8. Women empowerment. I should have seen that one coming since they even have a lady president. Croatian woman are not only beautiful – they also have a strong character and are not afraid to work as police officers or security guards.
9. Toilet paper is pink.
10. They're very religious. In whatever town you are, you're likely to hear the church bells eventually.
11. People are often grumpy. First I thought it was in the more touristic cities where they are fed-up with questions and impossible requests- but then I had the same experience in small towns. Since I'm not the most cheerful person myself, and because they excel in so many other things, and because they have a breathtakingly beautiful country that made my life a bit better – I'm ok with this.

Malaysian Blogger Miriam Goh
Hi Miriam, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you're from?
Hi there 🙂
Firstly, thanks SimplySxy for this opportunity to be featured on your site. Well, I'm Miriam and I blog at Miriam Merry Go Round (www.miriammerrygoround.com) about well really everything I experience in my daily life. Coming from Malaysia, it's definitely a country with tons of fun adventures and food 😉
What was the inspiration behind starting your blog?
My initial journey with my blog was just as a personal diary where I shared about the teenage frustrations, stuff at that time which were like major decisions in my life but I got more active in blogging after graduating from university. I loved reading about adventures and experiences others shared on their blog and I realised how far in the world you could explore through one's blog.
I love making new friends and through blogging I met so many new friends that empowered and helped me grow. Not only that, I believe that no one is ever confined to the place where they are because I hope that through my blog, my readers are also able to experience the joys in life that I encounter.
Which are your favorite beauty brands and products?
I am more of a K-beauty brand fan because heavy makeup isn't something I steer towards. I like the natural look that Koreans pull off, the subtle colors that just highlights the best features instead of heavy makeup. I can literally just go out with just some concealer and maybe mascara. Oh wait! I would say recently my brows play an important part in my daily makeup look. I never leave the house without making sure my brows are in shape.
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?
I would say something funny would happen whenever I am around. Odd things that just don't happen to other will somehow happen to me that my friends literally go speechless. Most of these incident happen because I seriously have the memory of Dory from Finding Nemo. One minute I am talking about a certain incident and the next thing I know, I don't remember what I was talking about. There was once I was looking for my spoon while dining with friends only to realise it was in my hands the whole time.
How much of a foodie are you?
I am a huge foodie! Everyone around me can vouch for that. Just talk about food and you would see my eyes sparkle. I wouldn't say I am a picky eater or have specific preferences but my taste buds do pick up on the different flavors. I love cooking as well so when I taste something that I really enjoy, I tend to experiment and try to come out with a similar (or better) dish 😉 I have a dream of owning my own food joint one day so I guess my love for food is a bonus.
I believe that food is one of the greatest joys because how can you not be happy in front of food? Great food also calls for good company and so many beautiful connections can be made with food.
What kind of movies do you enjoy watching?
Anything besides Horror! Gosh, take me to watch a horror film and you would see me squirming in my seats or watching from behind my hands. I actually fear for those who watch it with me because my friends told me they actually got shocked from me grabbing them all of the sudden instead of from the movie. *laugh*
If you could learn anything in this world, what will it be?
If possible, I would love to learn how to read people's mind because gosh that would just avoid any unnecessary drama or miscommunications. Sometimes I wished that people would just say what they are thinking but I guess there are somethings that can't be said. But on a serious note, I would love to learn all the different cuisines from every country because in food, there is so much culture and so much we can learn.
How will you describe an ideal date?
An ideal date for me would be going for some fun activities like going for Escape Room, Laser Tag or maybe catch a good movie and of course ending with a good meal. But all in all, the ideal date would be anything as long as it is with the one I love.
It is a pleasure to feature you Miriam. One question before we end, how do you define "sexy"?
I believe sexy isn't just about the appearance but one can be intelligently sexy or sexy on the inside as well. Everyone has their own appealing features which can excite those they meet whether emotionally, mentally or physically *wink* Most importantly is just to be yourself no matter what shape or size you are because everyone is just fabulous!

If ever you have a desire to sit cross-legged on a cushion drinking all kinds of strange and foreign teas, then this is the place to go in Glasgow. It strikes me as the kind of cafe that gained its customers by word of mouth, and it attracts die hard tea fans from all over the city. Paul mentioned to me that the place is on the brink of closure and with the relaxed, bohemian nature of the cafe, I'm not surprised that it ran into some difficulty. That said, they seem to have been making some big changes to the venue and perhaps with more publicity, it might just be kept as one of Glasgow's hidden gems. I'm half tempted to force Paul to become a regular merely so that he can befriend the chefs and uncover their chocolate cake recipe – it's been a very long time since I've had dairy-free cake as nice. I need more of it in my life. Fact.
Glasgow isn't really home to many tourist attractions (bar the statue of the Duke of Wellington with a traffic cone on his head – an apt testimony to the drunken antics of Glasgow's finest citizens and the Modern Art Museum it stands in front of) so most of its appeal lies in its quirky restaurants, cafes and tea houses. It's a city that is perfect for walking around, for those with no agenda who simply want to waste a few days rambling about a new city and discovering the hidden delights of each and every meandering street in the place. I spent most of my time catching up with an old friend and eating my way through the weekend. No regrets. There never could be.
