Following up our last nutrition post, this topic is not necessarily one that you find often in hardcore business blogs. But it honestly is something that small business owners should think about more often; and at least every once in a while, dig deeper into, to ensure they are on the right path.

When we moved into our new home this year, I knew we had a couple of apple trees in our back garden. I wasn't sure what sort of apples they were, some people telling us they were more than likely crab apples.

As the summer has gone on however, our apples have grown and we have regular apples, although not sure exactly what type.

We had a bad storm a couple of weeks back ...

For someone suffering with a major case of wanderlust, the desire to travel as much possible, as far away as possible, is pretty damn high . This isn't always realistic or even accessible to some people and this year I've found out you really don't need to go too far afield to find some wonders of the world. I'm lucky enough to have plans put in place for a three-month trip around Europe next year, (eeks!!) but before I go jetting off, I wanted to get to know more of my own country before I start learning about anyone else's.

Mostly Mozart goes to church...twice.

Walsall Secretary and Director Dan Mole has this afternoon taken to Twitter to offer a brief update on the status of this season's replica kits, which are still yet to go on sale.
Dan, who has spent countless hours trying to fix the various issues, said that kit supplier JD Sports are hoping to deliver 50% of the club's home replica kit order this week, but admitted that he is still awaiting delivery ...

Paging Merkel.

State Department spokesman breaks out in laughter after referring to “this exercise in transparency and democracy”.  He apparently knows the system is so rigged, so corrupt, that it’s hilarious to talk about it as if it were something honorable.

Trump is calling for “extreme vetting” of immigrants. Can his own supporters pass the test? https://t.co/EURoHVGdXQ pic.twitter.com/404Ivo372I— The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) August 19, 2016

One of several reasons I have found it difficult to blog here of late is that the ongoing discussion of Donald Trump's candidacy in the U.S. has pulled me into rather intense daily discussions on Facebook and Twitter of issues like the influence of race matters in the 2016 elections and the role religion is playing in the elections.

There’s not much that’s new in this video.  You’ve probably heard it all before–at least in bits and pieces.  Nevertheless, this video offers an extensive and coherent presentation of Hillary’s various offenses that’s a kind of “collectible” for those who dislike Hillary.

I realized that I wasn’t straight when I was about 15 years old. Soon after, I got involved with my high school’s Gay-Straight Alliance. During one of the club’s meetings, the steering committee chair of an organization called PFLAG (Parents, Friends, and Families of Lesbians of Gays) joined us as a guest speaker. That day proved to be a pivotal one for me. After the committee chair spoke, I attended ...

Although we live in New Jersey, when the time comes for a serious night of eating and drinking, Philly is where we go! Way back in the day (I grew up in Philly and lived there until my early 30s), there were only a handful of places that served both quality food AND quality drink. Thanks to the Craft Beer/Spirits/Cocktails/Food revolution that has swept the nation, the choices are plentiful. In fact, the choices are so plentiful ...

I'm back to start off the new week with this stunning sequin dress. I'm off on holiday to the sunny island of Ibiza in a few weeks (excited ...

If there’s such a thing as a quintessentially Melbourne sound, Postblue has it. That mix of the garage-indie that’s been coming out of the city in spades, along with a meandering fuzziness that adds sonic depth. Postblue’s newest track “Love to Praise You” hits all those notes, taking shoegaze and indie rock influences and making them into a The Stone Roses sounding melange of pitch perfect psych-pop. Check ...

From the BBC:

German carmaker Opel plans to cut its workers' hours this year because it expects Brexit to hurt its UK sales. A spokesman for Opel said about 5,000 workers at its Ruesselsheim and Eisenach factories would be affected. Opel is owned by US car giant GM.

It has been mentioned that the Germans, for whom exporting is the national religion, are keen to maintain free-ish trade with the UK after Brexit and that their car manufacturers are putting pressure on the government in that respect. Читать дальше...

I've seen heaps of photos where people have chopped their Beauty Blender in half and found all sorts of gross things inside (even bugs, gross!) My Beauty Blender is six years old and very well used. It's all discoloured now and I barely use it any more, so I decided to cut it in half and see what was inside. I was expecting it to be really horrible so was pleasantly surprised to see that it was clean.

With energy prices high, it’s not unusual that more and more homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes more energy-efficient. There’s no getting around using energy, after all, so the next best thing that many can do is to take measures to improve energy efficiency in their properties. Fortunately, there are many ways home energy-efficiency can be improved, one of which is replacing old, faulty windows. How does a window replacement help rake in energy savings?
