Norway vs Albania

0 - 1


The Albanian National Association Football Team is the national association football team of Albania and is controlled by the Football Association of Albania (FSHF).

Although it never played any matches, the Albanian national football team existed before FSHF was created. This is witnessed by the registration of the team in the Balkan Cup tournament of 1929-1931, which started in 1929 (although Albania eventually retired from the competition, before the competition started). FSHF was founded on June 6, 1930, and Albania had to wait 16 years to play its first international match, debuting against Yugoslavia in 1946. In 1932, Albania joined FIFA (during the congress June 12 — June 16) and in 1954, it was one of the founding members of UEFA.

In December 2007, Football Association of Albania's president, Armand Duka, announced Arie Haan would replace Croatian-Austrian Otto Barić as Albania's head coach. Haan signed a two-year contract on January 4, 2008.

On March 14, 2008, Albania was suspended from international football (FIFA and UEFA), due to heavy political interference in the Football Association. The suspension lasted 46 days.
Haan was replaced by Croatian coach Josip Kuže in May 2009. Kuže parted ways with Albania almost three years later, in December 2011, when coach Gianni de Biasi replaced him.

Facebook

The Most Likeable 
Fashion Brands


Congratulations are in order for Lacoste, which just became one of a handful of fashion brands whose Facebook profiles have received over 10 million "likes." But what about the other brands in this pantheon of likability, and where do other labels that are beloved in the real world rank in the digital standings?

Converse currently leads the pack of clothing and apparel brands on Facebook with a whopping 32.4 million likes. Adidas is second with 15.2 million, and Zara makes for a close third at just over 14 million. Then comes Burberry with 13 million. Levi's, H&M, and Lacoste all follow in close succession.

While some of the world's biggest luxury brands sit comfortably above the 5 million "like" mark, others fall beneath it. For its part, Lacoste is reported to have taken a more active role in managing its Facebook page in September 2010, when its "likes" numbered 1.6 million.

Glossy Eyes

and 

How to Get Them


There are some trends that should stay in the magazines, and many people think that the glossy eyed look is one of them. It’s hard to wear, hard to maintain, and can even be slightly uncomfortable. Aside from all that, I can’t get it out of my head. The look is imperfect, and gets worse over time. Even with the most solid base, shadows are guaranteed to crease with a gloss over top. If you’re a perfectionist when it comes to your makeup, this is not the look for you. If you’re willing to embrace a slightly grunge, downtown look, give it a try.

Aside from all that, I can’t get it out of my head. The look is imperfect, and gets worse over time. Even with the most solid base, shadows are guaranteed to crease with a gloss over top. If you’re a perfectionist when it comes to your makeup, this is not the look for you. If you’re willing to embrace a slightly grunge, downtown look, give it a try.





Start by applying your shadow primer as usual. This look works with matte or shimmery shadows but matte shadows look extra cool with a glossy finish. Pat the shadow onto your lid and into the crease. Ensure that you get a good amount of product on the lid, as you’ll want it to blend with the gloss. Next, apply your gloss. If you can’t get your hands on an eye gloss, products such as Lorac’s Liquid Lustre $16, Elizabeth Arden’s 8 Hour Cream $19.50, Vaseline, or a clear unscented lip gloss will give you the same effect. Always test a product before applying it to your eyes, especially if you’re using lip gloss, as the eye area is very sensitive. Once you’ve applied it, blink a few times and distribute it over the lid. You’ll see the gloss picks up the color, and gathers it into the crease, resulting in a cool, unfinished look.

If you’re not keen on applying an actual gloss to your lids, you can get a similar effect with strategically placed glitter, as seen above, right. Apply your base color, this works especially well with metallics and shimmery black, and then apply a loose glitter, or very glittery shadow, to the center of the lid as well as the inner and outer corners. This look will not give you the exact effect but it will add dimension and brighten up a normal smoky eye.
