Hanoi is so beautiful with East-West, modern-classic interwoven architecture
The Hanoitimes - Hanoi is gorgeous and charming with its East-West architecture. Today, the emergence of modern architectural constructions has contributed to forming a dreamy and dynamic Hanoi. Tubular house was the most popular type in the city, with the narrow width, a few tens of metres deep. If the owners are well-off, they would build two or three floors more. Then, influenced by French architecture, engineers began to use steel bending or embossing with cement and plaster to reduce the roughness of concrete blocks in home décor. Modern architecture is a trend to use new, versatile technologies and materials. In the past, people often used wood, black steel, baked tile... to make structure, pillars and roofs.

Those with small breasts get it in the neck—well just below—too. Actresses Alicia Vikander, Sharifah Sakinah, and Madeleine Ang have all been trolled for being "flat-chested." If you’re big-breasted you might be told to "cover up," "stop being slutty," or told that their body is "inappropriate." If you’re small-breasted, you may be called "unwomanly" or "childlike." Basically, if you have breasts, you can’t win.

India vs England 4th Test Pitch Report And First Look of Motera Surface: Batting Beauty or Rank Turner?
With all the talk around the pitch for the fourth and final Test at Ahmedabad, images of the strip that will be used for the 4th Test have emerged on social platforms on the eve of the match. As predicted, the pitch looks to be similar in nature to the one used for the third Test at the same venue a week back. It could be a similar story where the spinners start dominating the game from the first day. Surprisingly, there is a tinge of green on the strip. That patch of green could be shaved off on the morning of the Test. If it stays there, then it could be an interesting toss. The green on the strip could confuse the captains. Yet, it seems like the side winning the toss would like to have the first use of the pitch as it would be best on day one. As the game progresses the cracks could widen and it could make life hell for the batsmen. Here is the first look of the strip that would be used tomorrow: Final #pitchwatch before the fourth #INDvENG Test in #Ahmedabad … … [Read more...] about India vs England 4th Test Pitch Report And First Look of Motera Surface: Batting Beauty or Rank Turner?
