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...

8 Ways to Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Didn't sleep well last night? TED is here to help with 8 ways to get a good night's sleep...

#1 – Maintain a Sleep Schedule

In order to wake up renewed every day, you need to maintain a regular sleep schedule. You should go to bed at the same time every day (the same goes for waking up). This rhythm will certainly keep you vital throughout the day. Remember not to alter your schedule. Of course, fifteen minutes here or there won’t make that much of a difference.

#2 – Eat and Drink Responsibly

Remember to eat at least two hours before going to bed. This won’t...

Radio Exe announced as the Official Media Sponsors for Sleep Easy

With only a week and a half to go until Sleep Easy, Exeter YMCA is delighted to announce that Radio Exe will be the official media sponsor of this year's event.

Sleep Easy is a sponsored Sleep Out event which takes place each year in the Guildhall Shopping Centre. Last year Exeter YMCA held the biggest Sleep Easy event in the country. The event offers participants the chance to experience, in a very small way, what life can be like for the thousands of people who sleep rough on Britain’s streets each night. However, it is also an opportunity to raise media awareness about the...

8 Foods that Last Forever

Here is a list of eight foods, including some pancake day favourites, that when contained in the right enviroment may never need to be thrown away again...

#1 - Honey

Honey will forever be there for you, and will never lose its precious quality. It is possible that it changes color, or even crystallizes over a certain period of time, but it will always remain safe and delicious. This is because microorganisms can’t stand the low water content of honey. To keep it in its natural form, you should keep it in a cool area and make sure that it is tightly closed! If the honey...

What does your doodle mean?

When you’re on the phone or just sat thinking with a pen in your hand the chances are you’ll be doodling. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had to re-write notes before because I drew all over the page! I’ve even found myself doodling while I’ve been taking minutes during a board meeting and still managed to understand my minutes at the end of it.

The reason I’ve been researching this topic is because I doodled while thinking of a blog topic to write for my business blog. Instead of scrapping the page in my notebook, it made me think about why I’d scribbled the things I did, so I...

Exeter's IKEA - Is The Hype Justified?

With headlines triumphantly blasting the news from every street, the people of Exeter can hardly have failed to notice this winter’s big news: IKEA has been approved for opening in Exeter! A vast wonderland of flatpacks and meatballs will be built off the A379 near Sandy Park, raking in an estimated turnover of £52 million annually, and bringing hundreds of much-needed jobs to the area. Concerns have been raised about the viability of the infrastructure, given the vast hordes of people who are predicted to make pilgrimage to IKEA’s newest home, but overall the proposal has been met with an...

Why is Emotional Intelligence Important?

Most people will have undertaken an IQ test at some point in their lives. IQ is a measure of an individual’s intellectual, analytical, logical and rational abilities; their verbal, spatial, visual and mathematical skills. These cognitive abilities and technical skills are important for schooling and professional qualifications. For instance, someone requires an IQ of at least 110-120 to get an advanced degree such as an MBA.

But then what differentiates, say, one solicitor from another? Why are some people better at sales, communicating or leading others? The answer may well...

You know who,but does who know you?

February 2014 By Harvey Mackay

In my entire career, I have never once heard a successful person say he or she regretted putting time and energy into building their relationships and contact management system (CMS). That’s why my interest was piqued when I recently saw a blog by my close friend Brandon Steiner, CEO and founder of Steiner Sports in New York. It addresses what Brandon calls “Next-level networking.” What Brandon is referring to is, “If my contact at a company left, who would I still know there? Would I still be able to work with that company?” If the answers are “No...

10 Things Men Are Better Than Women At

Here at TED we like to be fair. So as we posted up yesterday about all the things women are better at, we thought it only fair to highlight the areas of speciality a man posesses...

#1 – Do It Yourself

Tools – the main item of the male wish list and the reason for ‘tool envy’ the world over. And yes, men are undoubtedly better than women at D.I.Y, just as women are better at applying nail varnish – fact. Even better, it keeps them out of the way too.

#2 – Football

It’s the sport that men live, breathe and dream of. They organise their wedding date around it...

#1 – Picking A Fight

Now this is something you girls are way better than men at – starting fights for no apparent reason! Men normally need copious amounts of alcohol before battering their best mates but you women, not only do you not need any booze, you don’t need any words either – just a look is enough to get your aggressive juices flowing!

Childbirth and breastfeeding are definitely two things men cannot do therefore this is a no-brainer when it comes to...

PCC Hogg - Critical situation on our streets

The following is a blog piece written by Police and Crime Comissioner Tony Hogg.

People will know that I have had some wide and contrasting experiences in life. Thirty years in the Royal Navy took me into many unpleasant situations, and, in the years that followed, I worked with many disadvantaged and disabled youngsters through a Cornish charity.

Since being elected as Police and Crime Commissioner I have joined police and officers and staff at the ‘sharp end’ on numerous occasions, and my latest foray onto the streets has had a profound effect on me.

For reasons...
