Meanwhile, Jesse Hughes, the lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal announced as first band again on the stage of the Paris concert hall Bataclan after the attacks. That is what the front man on 26 November 2015 said in an interview with the international news channel vice news.

On the 13th of November there were more bomb attacks and shootings in Paris. it was the worst terrorist attacks after the second world war. All the attacks are claimed by IS (Islamic State). Seven terrorists died, six of them committed suicide using a bomb belt. One terrorist was shot by the police. One or more terrorists escaped. 128 people died and 349 people got injured. Places were the bomb attacks took place: Stade de France: Thousands of spectators of the exhibition game between France and Germany (20) remained Friday night in panic after the attacks in Paris. After the shootings, some spectators didn’t want to leave the stadium and stayed until after midnight in the stadium. Football journalist Simon Kuper was in the stadium when a loud bang was heard during the match. "There was a cheered, such as more frequent at football matches if people think there is exploded some firework. But in this case the bang was just too hard, he says. A minute or five later followed another hard bang. Then everyone went on the internet to see what was going on and they saw that there was shot in the centre of Paris.

Restaurant le petit Cambodge: At all places where was shot on Friday night, sawdust was sprinkled. It's probably ment to cover the blood, possibly also for the blood to something less red colours. Local residents who are around restaurant Le Petit Cambodge and Bar Le Carillon have gathered, staring worried to the ground. A bleached-blond older woman sees through the sawdust a few sports shoes. She begins to cry uncontrollably. The neighbourhood is in shock. Avenue de la République is a channel of the 11th arrondissement of Paris, linking the Republic square in the Père-Lachaise Cemetery.

Dear readers, On behalf of our Freshman group, I would like to thank you for reading the fifth edition of our St. Martin’s Courier. It is our paper, because it is not just one teacher and a couple of pupils: all first year students from V1at and B1ct contributed in producing the stories you are about to read. The newsroom worked on their stories during one of their weekly Maatwerkuren, to broaden their horizons and to improve their English writing skills. I want to congratulate them all on a job well done and we should not forget that these pupils have only just started their bilingual adventure. This Editor in chief helped them along the way, but did not interfere in their writing process or what they were writing about. This also means that there might be mistakes in grammar and spelling, but I hope you will agree that this in no way affects the quality of the articles. Let me conclude by mentioning our digital component on Facebook. Here you will find more (up-to-date) stories, pictures and videos about our bilingual department. We love your likes and we appreciate your comments, so please like our page on www.facebook.com/StMartinsCourier !

Jop’s Jobs

Attacks on Paris

By Jop, V1at

Jop’s Jobs is a compilation of sports and/or other fun activities that I did or I would like to try. I hope you will enjoy and back to you Jop… …Thank you Jop and as you can see the first one on the list is : 1: Judo, judo is a Japanese self-defense art which started in the 19th century. It is an Olympic sport and the people who try it are called Judoka’s. (Judo means soft road.) Fun fact: It is even on a German stamp of 20 Eurocent in 1964. 2: Soccer, Soccer is a game where you have 2 teams of 11 people and you need to kick the ball in a goal the most on 90 minutes. A team has one Goalkeeper and 10 other people.

>>> The boulevard Beaumarchais is a road located in the 3 rd , 4 th and 11 th arrondissement of Paris, it is a street so we can’t say more about this.

4: Dancing, dancing is a sport what I did just a year ago and I didn’t really enjoy it because it was on Saturday. I wanted to stay home and I thought I wasn’t good in it.

The Rue de Charonne is a road of the 11th arrondissement of Paris, which led to the village of Charonne. It already exists in the beginning of the seventeenth century and is, along with the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, one of the busiest streets of the district. Many artists have their Studio and their housing. It is a street so we can’t say more about this.

5: Rugby, rugby is a sport I would like to try because it looks cool with all the touchdowns and tackles. The field is divided by white lines and it stands for yards, the further you go and score the more points you get.

Boulevard Voltaire: The promenade begins at the Place de la République and ends at Place de la Nation. Previously named this street boulevard du Prince Eugène. At number 50 is the Bataclan theatre, which was involved in the attacks.

3: Tennis, Tennis is sport in you hit the ball with a racket and try to score enough points to win.

6: Gaming, Gaming was basically my childhood and I feel happy when I game and I don’t have to worry about depressed feelings or homework. I highly recommend it but don’t play it as much as I do because it has gotten me in to trouble. 7: YouTube, I was searching a song on Google and I saw a link with the name of the song so I clicked it. But the I saw a Minecraft video of DusdavidGames and that’s how it started. Now I watch more than 20 people ( Gamers ). They have super fun videos and the best Youtuber EVER is JackSepticEye. Go check him out; NOW,I hope you liked it!

We have chosen this subject because, it is very terrible what happened by the bomb attacks in Paris but it is an very interesting subject to talk about. We hope you have learned much about this article, and that you now know more about what was happened on the 13th of November by the bomb attacks in Paris.

My conclusion is: Basketball/YouTube is my favourite. But the other things are fun too. FIFTH ISSUE

The Hunger Games Movie Review By Aedem & Enis, V1at

Then that person is supposed to walk up to the glass bowl and then they will travel to the Capitol to prepare for The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 2 premiered in the theatres on the 18th of November. It is an amazing movie to watch, there are some moments that will literally blow you away!!! But first we’re going to tell you about The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is a series of three adventure novels written by the American author Suzanne Collins. Years before the start of the series, the 13 districts attempted to start a revolution against the Capitol. The Capitol won the war, and they destroyed district 13. The movie plays in a post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, where the capitol organises each year The Reaping where 24 people (a boy and a girl from each of the 12 districts) from 12 to 18 years get picked and fight until the death. The remaining tribute out of the children will be victorious and live a glorious life. The series follow the life of Katniss Everdeen a normal girl from District 12. She is a 16 year old girl who volunteers in the reaping of the 74th annual Hunger Games for her sister Primrose ‘Prim’ Everdeen. Her dad died at an accident in the mines, after that her mother was never the same. When they reap the children they do a special ceremony. Everyone from that district have to go to the special place. When they are there, the Capitol makes name cards with everyone’s name on it. Then they are put into a big glass bowl. Finally someone chosen by the capitol (Effie Trinket did it for district 12 a while) walks up to the glass and picks a name card and yells the name of the person on the card.

Now about The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 2 (Warning! This may contain spoilers.) Katniss is in the hospital in district 13 where she is recovering from her second time surviving The Hunger Games. District 12 has been bombed by the Capitol and there’s a secret underground district 13. District 13 is trying to get all the districts together to fight against the Capitol. But they need someone that can inspire the other districts ‘The Mockingjay’. They waited for 75 years for someone that can inspire people: ‘Katniss Everdeen The Girl On Fire’. Everybody loved Katniss while she was in The Hunger Games and they loved the fake romance between her and Peeta Mellark (The boy that got reaped for district 12). Katniss fell in love with Peeta after a while and Peeta already loved Katniss. But Peeta got captured and tortured by the Capitol. They used Tracker Jacker venom to change his good memories from Katniss and replaced them with bad ones so he hates her and wants to kill her. When Katniss finally gets Peeta back, he tried to kill her and she got back into the hospital from district 13. When she got better again she would do anything to kill Snow, the evil person who tortured Peeta. So she becomes ‘The Mockingjay’ and tries to unite all the districts and attack the Capitol. After she united all the districts they go attack the Capitol but there’s one problem: Snow set up a lot of traps in the city called ‘Pods’. So she and some other people (Including Peeta) went on a special mission to assassinate president Snow. They had a device that could see most of the pods but some new ones it couldn’t see. They had to go very far, a lot of people died thanks to the pods and Peeta tries to kill again. But we will not spoil the ending! You have to watch it yourself! Do it, just do it!!!

Other Taylor songs from 2015 are: Style, Wildest Dreams, Blank Space..... We chose Taylor for number 8 because she had a lot of hits, but she wasn't the best artist. Taylor is now 26 years old. Martin Garrix: We think Martin had a good year, we like Forbidden Voices the most of all his songs, but we also like his song Don't Look Down with Usher. And Martin is the cutest DJ of 2015 (our opinion). when he was young his dream was to be a famous DJ, and his dream became true. He is also Dutch.

Rumour Has It‌ Gossip or Fact? By Sem & Zerina, V1at

Kylie Jenner: plastic surgery: As you can see in the picture the lips are fuller. The nose is thinner and longer. She didn't admit to having plastic surgery but did admit to have surgery on her breasts. From a source we heard that she got 40.000 dollars for her birthday to have surgery. Also her cheekbones got more lined, and her eyes look more different. Almost everyone in her family got plastic surgery: her mother Kris Jenner, her sister Kim Kardashian, her sister Khloe Kardashian and her father Caitlyn Jenner (he had a transformation into a women, Caitlyn's name was Bruce before Caitlyn's transformation). So for this rumour we think it is TRUE, Kylie had more plastic surgery than only her breasts.

Miley Cyrus: drug overdose: A lot of people have said that Miley had a drug overdose, we don't know exactly if this is true so we are getting more information for you. She has made it very clear that she uses drugs (especially weed). at the VMA'S 2013 she had a performance and on stage she took a joint and smoked it. In an interview she said Miley: ''I didn't have a drug overdose, I took some sh***y antibiotics that a doctor gave me for a sinus infection and I had a reaction'' said Miley. then she cancelled 5 remaining dates of her US tour after she suffered an allergic reaction to her antibiotics, so for this rumour we think that it is NOT TRUE. (Yes she uses/used drugs but didn't have a drug overdose.)

Justin Bieber dating mystery girl from Sintermeerten College: We have heard some rumours that Justin is dating a mystery girl from SMC. The only things we know about her, is that she is in V1AT and that they met on Justin’s concert in Antwerp. They are dating since 18.11.2015 and they have been spotted several times in 2016 in the Netherlands. We have interviewed Justin and he was very nervous because of speaking about his girl. Justin: ''We met at my concert in Antwerp and when i saw her i fell in love.'' Justin on a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you love your mystery girl? Justin: ''That is not a hard question a 100, actually i can't explain my love for her, i can't describe it''. He is such a sweetheart. Justin, now we really want to know who is this mystery girl, reveal her?! Justin: ''well...her name is.....Zerina, but soon everyone can call her Mrs. Bieber, we are engaged.'' OMG Justin Bieber is engaged!!! So for this romantic rumour we think it is definitely TRUE! Justin has a come-back album named Purpose. Purpose already hit the records on Billboard 100, Itunes, and many other music lists. The album consists of Mark my words, I'll show you, What do you mean, Sorry, Love yourself, Company, No pressure, No sense, Life is worth living, Where are u now, Children, Purpose, Been you, Get used to it, We are, Trust and All in it. The album was released on 12/13.11.2015. Purpose has sold 522.000 copies in its first week of release. Justin broke records of many popular singers such as: The Beatles, Drake, Elvis Presley. Justin broke Spotify records in week 1. So congratulations Justin with this record breaking, come-back Album. TRUE!

Bilingual Education Information By Maarten, Lars, Petter, B1ct

What exactly is TTO? With doing TTO you learn English very well. Therefore, you lessons in the English language. You also get a lot of contacts with students abroad and international projects.

I get thrown and end in the deep? Yes! That is the best way to master the English language really quickly . From day one you will get a lot of your lessons in the English language.

Do I already have to speak English very well if I choose TTO after group8? No that is not necessary. Because you speak English in almost all of the classes. You speak in every class English except during Dutch and French. and you are so much into that language, you learn very quickly to master the English language. You often speak so good in the end of the third year as other normal students in their final year.. And if you once is in the final year, other people think often that you come from England when they hear you speak English! If you choose to do TTO, then you must like to be busy with all kinds of English and foreign operations. A good motivation is, besides a VWO or HAVO advice really important.

Is TTO popular in the Netherlands? Yes! Because of that the number of bilingual schools (TTO schools) is growing every year. The many extras of a bilingual program you recognize at the new school like the beautiful Sintermeertencollege.

What's so special about getting almost every lesson in English, and doing TTO? TTO students already receiving the chance to see much of the world because there are a lot of international exchanges and contacts. In the lessons you learn what is happening in the world. You benefit of it when you going to study further or choose for a challenging profession, perhaps abroad. The Dutch universities are given more and more classes in English and you have to deal with especially English study. You as TTO'er have a huge lead. Do I get because of all the English is no less good in Dutch? No, because you do not have to be afraid of. Really smart people researched that . They came to the conclusion that TTO students even perform better in all languages.

Information The teachers had a special bilingual education with attention to language and bilingual pedagogy. The teaching of foreign languages is not at the expense of the Dutch language development. The school must offer students international activities. For example, language courses, exchanges or workshops. Typically, one of these two languages , or both, as is the case in Brussels , the local official language . These may include education where students can choose the language regime of the lessons. So there are at most Flemish and Dutch universities training, especially at Master level , which one either in English or in Dutch can follow . Brussels also quite a few primary schools have a French class and a Flemish class . Until the Second World War also had many secondary schools in Flanders, a French and a Flemish section, especially in the cities, education where some of the subjects are not taught in their mother tongue . In the jargon : CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) , so be integrated provided the course.

Our Opinion about SMC… My opinion about Sintermeerten College

By Kris & Sanne, B1ct

Hello, we are Sanne and Kris and our article is about our opinion about Sintermeertencollege, we will tell you something about the sportclass, everything you can do with a keycard and the differences between the primary and the secondary school. Enjoy reading!

Sport class

Hello I am Sanne and I do sport class. If you like it to play sports, sport class is maybe something for you. With sport class you are going to play a lot of sports and there are a lot of activities. For example: swimming or playing football in the soccer arena in Kerkrade. I think that sport class is very nice because I like it to play sports. Normally you have 3 hours in the week P.E. but if you do sport class you have 2 hours more so than you have 5 hours in the week sports. This year sport class is on Wednesday the 8th and the 9th hour but I don’t know if it is next year also on Wednesday.

Things you can do with your keycard: •

Lockers: If you are on secondary school you have your own locker. Normally (other schools) you can open it with a key but here we have key cards. Buy something in assembly hall or vending machines: If you want to buy something in the assembly hall or in the vending machines you also need your key card. You can’t pay with normal money. The library: If you want to borrow a book or a computer in the library you also need your key card. Normally you don’t need money for borrowing a book but if you are too late with bringing it back you have to pay. Like in a normal library. The printer: If you don’t have a printer at home it’s not a big problem because at school there is also a printer. Also for this you need your key card but if you want to print something you have to pay. What do you have to do if you lose your keycard ? If you lost your key card you go to Mr. Paffen, he can open your locker once. So you can pack your books if that is necessary.

Hello, I am Kris and this is my opinion about SMC. My opinion is very positive, because it is a cosy school with nice teachers, of course there are also teachers who you don’t like, but that is always and everywhere, I find the lessons very instructive and funny, because you do a lot of different things, for example with history we sometimes work with whiteboard and I like that! Further is it just a really nice school, it makes learning funny!

Differences Primary & Secondary School There are a lot of difference between the primary and the secondary school, some are positive, some are negative. Positive from the primary school: • At the primary school you don’t have a heavy bag, because you only have to bring some food and drink, on the secondary school you also have to bring a lot of books! • At the primary school you don’t have a lot of homework, you only have a few pages in one week, on the secondary school you have every day a lot of homework for different subjects. • At the primary school you also don’t have a lot of tests, on the secondary school you have almost every week one, or sometimes two or more • At the primary school you don’t have French, biology and Religion, this one can be positive, but it also can be negative, that is your own opinion!

Positive from the secondary school: • At the secondary school you can buy some food at school, on the primary school you have to bring all your own food • At the secondary school you have lockers to put your books in, but also your jacket and maybe your bike keys! • At the secondary school there is an assembly hall where you can eat and drink in the breaks, at the primary school you don’t have, I find an assembly hall nice, because then you can see your friends and you can eat and drink together with them, that is very nice! • At the secondary school you have a schedule, I like that because then you know every day what you are going to do at that day! • At the secondary school you have for every subject another teacher, that can also be positive and negative, that is your own opinion. • And at the secondary school every lesson is 45 minutes (at some schools 50 minutes), I like that because then you know when the lesson is over. As you can see, we can say more positive things about the secondary school than about the primary school, so actually we just like the secondary school more than the primary school, only the homework is not nice but otherwise you could not learn that much things as you learn now, so you just have to make it!

Best Sport Ever: Tennis! By Martijn, B1ct

The game itself

Hello, I am doing my topic about tennis because I like it very much and play it myself. I hope that you enjoy reading my article. Have fun!

Origin

We don't know for sure when the official sport tennis began. We only know that it's almost even as old as the humanity. The precursor was Jeu de Paume, played in France. In some country’s it they still play it. It is a game where you a ball -stuffed with hear- need to strike with the palm of your hand. The France word for that was ''Tenez''. It means, ''hear it comes''. At the beginning Of the fifteenth century the game spread itself in two different games around whole Europe, until Sint Pietersburg. The folk variant was so popular that is was forbidden in some villages. The kingly variant was played in special buildings. Jeu de Paume was played with your hand, but around 1500 the racket came in. First it was a glove, then a piece of wood and after that its became a racket.

You have two kinds of tennis games. You can play the 'single' variant or the 'doubles' variant. A single game you play with 2 players. One on each side of the field. A double game you play with 4 people. 2 on each side of the field. By a single game begins the player in the back of the field by the 'baseline'. By a double game there is one player in the back by the 'baseline' and one player in the front by the net. The player in the back brings the ball in the field. The counting is always the same. If somebody makes a point it is 150, than 30-0 and then 40-0. If both players/teams have 40-40, you call that 'deuce'. Who make the next two points, wins a game. In one set are 6 games. Normally you play 2 sets. if everybody have one set, you play the tiebreak. than you count from 1-0 to 7-0. it has to be 2 point Different between the two players, will you win the game. If it is 7-7 you keep going until the 2 difference. If you win the tiebreak, you win the whole game.

Dr. Ludvig Maxis formed Group 935 as an international Germanled research team, and emerged as its head scientist. Maxis sought to use a mysterious new element, which he had named Element 115, to improve the human condition by developing advanced technologies, and enlisted Dr. Edward Richtofen as his senior assistant rather than equal partner, much to his chagrin. However, the group's goal immediately detoured due to a lack of funding, and Maxis regretfully turned to making a contract with the Nazi Wunderwaffe Program to use 115 as a power source for deadly new weaponry to help the Axis Powers win the war. Maxis hoped that after the war, the generous funds and Germany's ultimate victory would put Group 935 in a much better position to help the world. 2.Rainbow six siege 3.Halo 5 guardians 4.Far cry 4 5.Star wars battlefront

YouTubers on YouTube By Willemijn & Lucienne, B1ct

Maybe you want to do livestreams. Livestreams are videos that will appear live on YouTube. So your viewers can see you playing it live, and write comments to help you play the game or just write comments to say 'hi' or 'I love you!' But if you are playing the game live, that does mean that you can't undo anything that went wrong. Some YouTubers make livestreams that are 24 hours long, to raise money for a charity, or just because they see it as a challenge.

We are going to give you some information about YouTube and YouTubers. We are writing about this because we really like YouTube. Have fun! Have you ever thought about what a YouTuber does? And how much work goes into one video? and most important: what exactly is a YouTuber? First, YouTube was mainly known for music videos, but now, YouTubers are really famous. A YouTuber is basically a boy or girl sitting alone in in his/her room talking to him/her-self while playing a game. Just kidding, a YouTuber actually has a very special job: recording himself while playing a game. You have different types of YouTubers but we are going to talk about gaming YouTubers. This is what a YouTuber needs; first a computer to play games on or a console, for example: a PlayStation or Xbox. The second thing you need is a recording set –up, including a camera to record your face and a microphone to record your voice with. You also need a special program to record your gameplay. You also need, which is very important, a game to play. If you upload a verity of games, there will always be at least one game that a person likes.

If you have a certain amount of subscribers, (that means people that follow your YouTube channel) YouTube sends you a bronze, silver or a gold play button. If you reach 100 subscribers YouTube will send you a bronze play button. You'll get a silver play button if you reach 100,000 subscribers. And a gold one if you reach 1,000,000 subscribers. And if you are really popular you will receive a diamond play button, for which you'll need 10,000,000 subscribers! This was some general information about what a YouTuber is and does. If you want to be a YouTuber maybe this will help you to get started. At first, maybe not a lot of people will watch your videos, but if you put a lot of effort in to your videos and have a lot of fun making them, you'll get more viewers. But after all, it's all about having fun. If you want to know the top ten YouTubers, Go and check out the next page....

Another thing which would be handy to have is an editing program to edit your videos, so you can cut some things out of the video that you don't really like. For example when you messed up your words. Or when your game crashed, if you are really unlucky. FIFTH ISSUE

Now you start drawing a line which is connected on line you just drew and go through the circle, you don't stop at the end of the circle but you go further until the line is as long as you want to have the face . After that you also draw a line what will be the width of the face. You can decide this also by yourself.. ( If you have a long face the width is longer than if you have a short face) 3) Now, we will finish the neck. You take the lowest point of the face (the circle) and you connect that point with the oval and go than to the bottom of the paper. Don't draw a straight line but make it a bit round. 4) If you have done that we will start with the ears! you draw a triangle with a line in it, the line in the triangle isn’t straight! So make it a bit round. you do this with both ears, but make sure the ear on the right is a bit higher than the ear on the left. 5) Now we make the other part of the face (like the mouth and the nose) let's start with the mouth. actually you don't see the mouth good but you just draw a part around the line what the length of the face shows (and if you had

a line for the width, also around them) this is your ''mouth''. For the nose you make a half oval with a ''raindrop'' in it. If it's not really clear you can look to the picture.. If you have the nose, you draw a line a bit above the half oval because otherwise the nose will not fit into the face! 6) The hair of the horse: You start with the hair that starts after the ears. The hair is a bit wavy so you can do that also. It's very easy so you just make some hair what goes to the end of the neck and then you have to draw further so the hair will go to the chest of the horse. Don't make the hair there too thick because there will also come some flowers. Before you start with the hair before the ears, you fist make the horn of the unicorn. You make the horn a bit longer than the ears. If you have done that you can make the hair before the ears. They can come to the middle of the head but not before the eye! you make the hair around the horn, so the bottom of the horn can go a bit away cause of the hair.. 7) The wings: The wings are very easy to draw. That are just 4 triangles! We start with the wing in the foreground. You make a small (not too small) triangle on the lowest point of the neck to above, if you got that you make a triangle again, this is for the upper part of the wing! It can be bigger than the triangle you draw but not much bigger. The triangle can come over the other triangle, that looks more nice than if you don't but you can decide it your own! After that we 'll make the back wings. You only have to draw the triangle above, because you can’t see the other one. So draw a triangle on the back of the highest triangle. you can decorate them like you love it, I did with raindrops..

8) So, now we will make the eyes. They look also a bit like a raindrop. You only have to draw the eye on the side you can see the eyes (Mostly there is hair before that other eye, if not you will draw that eye as well) It's very nice to make a light spot in the eye. You can do this by erasing a bit of the top of de eye, don't erase the whole top but just that it is a bit lighter over there.. If you 've done that, we go further with the eyelashes! First you make some thin lines on the eyes, no straight lines! Than you can make them a bit thicker on the bottom ( See the picture) 9) You can erase the circle and the oval you made in step 1, but make sure that you don't erase a part of the neck or the face! 10) The you can make flowers around the chest, you also can draw a flower what the unicorn has in his mouth. Make sure that the flower isn’t over the hair! That would look weird. So, how to make the flower: 10a) Make a little circle 10b) Make some big things around it, what are the petals 10c) Make a little stripe in the petals 10d) Make than the leaf of of the flower (Take a look at the picture) 11) Now you can make some shadow if you want. You make it on this places. The back wing is darker than the wing on the foreground. On the top of the neck (Were the hair attached is to the neck) can you make it darker. On the lowest part of the chest. On the right side of the head

READY!!! I hope your unicorn looks nice!!

Tie dye a Simple White T-shirt It is really easy to tie dye a simple white t-shirt! as long as you are careful and work tidy. What do you need: white t-shirt, tie dye paint (DA), ties (optional), bowl, (old) towel, oilcloth, plastic gloves and a swizzle stick. 1) Prepare your working space. Follow the instructions on your tye die kit to prepare the paint (you can always look it up on the internet), and put it in a big bowl. Make sure you have an old towel or anything else to wipe it out when you mess up. Also make sure you cover your working space with something like an oilcloth or just plastic. You can wear plastic gloves if you have them. Make the tshirts close to a bin, because you have to flush them out afterwards. Be smart and wear old clothes! 2) tie. You can decide if you want a pattern or not. The easiest way is to go from dark to light. If you want to tie, it's handy to have more colours. You can look up how to tie your t-shirt for a specific pattern you want to have. 3) dye. The first thing we are going to make, is just with one colour from dark to light. We want it dark at the bottom, and almost light at the top. So you start with hanging it almost totally in the bowl for like 10 seconds. After that, you pull the t-shirt a bit up, so something like 2/3 (it can be a bit less) is still hanging in. Let that part hang in for like 10 seconds again. Pull the t-shirt a bit up again, so it's hanging for like 1/3. Let that in for like 10 seconds again. Take your t-shirt out and flush it totally out, let it dry, and you are ready to wear it! You can always cut the sleeves off if you have long sleeves, or decorate with cutting strips at the bottom and knot them, but that's all optional.

Transfer Paper on a T-shirt If you google: 'tumblr t-shirt', you will find a lot of cool t-shirts, but where can you buy them?! Well, you can find here how to make it yourself! What do you need: transfer paper :) (duhh), a (white) t-shirt (if it's a black one you need different transfer paper), a printer and an iron.

We hope this was not too difficult, but fun! And of course you had something to do in the weekend ;). Maybe some of these were challenging, but with really cool results. have fun DIY-ing! we would like it if you make a picture of your results, and send them to this e-mail: courier@sintermeerten.com or post them on our Courier Facebook site!!

1) search a picture. You want a cool tshirt, so you want a cool picture or quote on it, you can find a lot of nice pictures when you search for: 'tumblr png'. But if you want something else, like a cute quote, just search for that! Put it in a document and you are ready for the next step. If you have more than 1 picture, be smart and put as much pictures as you can on one paper. 2) print! So now you have your picture(s), you're going to print it. You want the picture to look good, so first print it on a normal paper because you don't want to waste your transfer paper. If you like the picture, you can print it on the transfer paper. make sure you print it mirrored! 3) iron on. Put a piece of cardboard in your t-shirt, you don't want the front to stick on the back of your shirt. Then you cut out the picture, cut about 0.5 - 1.0 around the picture, also make sure you cut the corners a little bit round (like this the picture will stay longer on your shirt). Then you lay the picture on the t-shirt how you want to, and iron it on. There will probably be some instruction on the package of transfer paper how long you have to iron. Don't do it too long but also not too short. And you're done! You can wear it right away, this is very handy for a last minute shirt for a cool party. 1 last thing, wash it inside out! FIFTH ISSUE

Fashion with a Passion By Lotus, Aimee & Finn, V1at

On this page we are going to tell about Top or flops, what do we think about them and we hope you like it!

What do we think about? There are many different kinds of colours (50) you can just buy the normal one (black&white) but you can also be original and choose a nice colour.

We think right is better because the left woman is too old for this dress and the lady on the right has a better figure.

I love this because they give light and they are very cool by this shoes you can also switch of light and they are very fabulous they are very nice for a party.

The right one is better because her dress there is like a rip out and that is beautiful and on the left it looks more like a pyjamas.

This are nice sunglasses maybe on the right they don’t look so nice but they look so fabulous when you wear them! The black skinny pants is very nice and then with that white shirt is the perfect combination it is a very simple shirt but it looks very nice if you have a green jack the sunglasses.

We think right is better because her hair and shoes fit more by the dress and her figure is more beautiful in the dress.

Left is better because by the girl on the right her skin is too white and then she looks like a white tablecloth.

T-shirts with a collar are very hip nowadays. Also the pants with loks and holes are very hip. So this is a very hip outfit.

We hope that you have a better idea now what you want to wear or what was in in 2015/2016.

When combined with violet or black, it is associated with eroticism and seduction. Mauve is a pale purple colour named after the mallow flower (French: mauve). Another name for the colour is mallow.
