Who Are Bluestreak Crystals and What Do They Offer?

For anyone in the world of jewelry making, fashion embellishments or luxury crafts, the phrase “attention to detail” isn’t just a throwaway—it’s the whole game. The most exquisite designs are often defined not by grand scale, but by the smallest, most meticulously chosen components. Which is why sourcing top-tier crystals isn't a niche task, but a vital step. Enter Bluestreak Crystals—a name that’s increasingly gaining traction among professionals and ambitious hobbyists alike.

And yet, despite their growing reputation, many still ask: who exactly are they, and what sets them...

Top 10 Biggest Tech Failures

#1 – Microsoft Zune

The Zune was Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s iPod. Released in 2006 in Black, Brown or White, the Zune was intended to be a social media player, allowing users to share songs between their players. However, the Zune immediately faced comparisons to the iPod, and was the butt of many jokes for it’s brown color. In addition, on December 31, 2008, all Zune players froze and became bricked due the their software not being able to handle the Leap Year. Microsoft did produce additional generations of the Zune, but finally put it out to pasture in October 2011.

South Street Baptist Church invites you to explore the meaning of the cross

Cheering crowds. Waving scarves and banners. A city brought to a halt. Well that describes the welcome marking Exeter Chiefs victory parade through Exeter for a Civic Reception in the historic Guildhall to mark their winning the LV Cup. Well done them!

A similar scene took place long ago at the start of the Christian church’s Holy Week, when a young teacher called Jesus rode into Jerusalem on an open topped donkey to be welcomed by cheering and celebrating crowds. Supporters everywhere can be fickle and when the crowd’s expectations failed to materialise it didn’t turn out well....

10 Major Life Truths We All Forget

#1 – Action Speaks Louder Than Words

Fact: we are a direct product of what we do, not what we say. Yes, it’s good to talk about your life plans and what you want to do. But without turning these words into meaningful, directed actions, your words are hollow and sadly mean very little. You need to set yourself clear goals, even writing them down if this helps, and get busy achieving them. No excuses. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect before you take action – you’ll be waiting forever. This will only result in a lifetime of regrets. So what are you waiting for?

Top 10 Movies Inspired From Real Life Events

#10 – Public Enemies

The 2009 crime drama film is an adaptation of the non-fiction book “Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave & the Birth of the FBI”, and the action of the movie is set throughout the Great Depression. The action is centered on the infamous bank robber John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp) and although the movie is not 100% accurate from a historical point of view, most of the scenes are depicted from real acts. “If it was 100% accurate, you would call it a documentary” said Bryan Burrough, the author of the book who was impressed by the fictional...

Don’t abandon all hope on Climate Change

In a few weeks time we Christians will be once again remembering words attributed to our faith’s founder as he hung on a criminals’ cross outside Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

This phrase, unusually recorded in Aramaic (and, therefore, biblical scholars argue more likely to be authentic), is a cry from a young human being feeling close to rejection, failure and death. It is a timely reminder of a significant experience recalled at Easter – that of abandonment.

Today there are many signs of being left behind: a recent national...

5 Best Ways to Keep Your Blood Pressure Under Control

#1 – Regular Exercise

Working out regularly will help substantially lower your blood pressure. Even a brisk walk for 30 to 60 minutes every day could show considerable effect. By exercising regularly, you could reduce the risk of developing full-blown hypertension as well. Talk to your physician about developing an exercise regime. If you haven’t been leading an active lifestyle, even moderate activity, such as light stretching or walking, can be helpful. Avoid the temptation of remaining inactive during the weekdays and working out during just the weekends. This could cause more...

Is fashion becoming unisex?

How men’s fashion is coming more like women’s.

The day has come where ‘hipster’, ‘gothic’ and ‘chav’ are all in the past and men’s fashion has had a revolution. It’s no longer the everyday typical suits nor the casual chord trousers on the weekend. Men like to portray a metrosexual look and the wardrobe is becoming more of an imperative object in life.

In the past women’s fashion has dominated shops with all the extravagant designs and excessive styles and the men’s department has either been upstairs, in the corner or non-existent. Now men have equal space in high street...

#1 - Give someone an unusal present

Have you ever noticed that cheerios look remarkably like small dougnuts? If you have a friend or relative that is extremely gullible then why not give them a pack of dougnut seeds.

6 Everyday Habits That Could Kill You

#1 - Texting While You Walk/Drive

Texting while you’re taking a walk or driving might not affect your health in any way, but it can certainly be deadly if you don’t pay enough attention to your surroundings. A recent study has shown that people who are crossing an intersection while texting were around four times less likely to look before traversing, which increases the risk of being hit by a vehicle, especially if the driver is texting as well. To summarize – texting is dangerous while you’re performing tasks that demand your maximum concentration.
