Her uncle, Heneage Bloxham, had disappeared on the Western Front and nobody in her family was able to tell her what actually happened to him. By accessing the available records, maps and war diaries, and by taking a diversion to the battlefield while on a trip to France, Sam was able to find out what happened to the woman’s uncle.

5 . While anytime is the perfect time to take a European vacation, there is something special about autumn. Here are a few places to consider when you are planning your own fairy tale European vacation this fall.

◆ Zaanse Schans—Netherlands

Just a short trip from the wonderful tree-lined city of Amsterdam is Zaanse Schans. You can explore traditional industries like wooden clog carving (木屐雕刻), barrel making, and participate in cheese tastings, visit the home of a fisherman, and even check out a working windmill.

◆ Hallstatt—Austria

Situated on Lake Halstatt, the town itself was known for producing salt. But it’s also known for its beauty and has been named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Start early at the town’s photo point to seize some of the most breathtaking shots of the location and yourself!

◆ Trondheim—Norway

Beautiful walking trails with both mountain and seaside views are the perfect way to start a refreshing fall morning before taking in the scene at the K-U-K art gallery or a visit to the largest medieval cathedral (中世纪大教堂). It is also surrounded by countless small and large-scale food producers.

◆ Mdina—Malta

With no cars allowed, the “silent city” has maintained an atmosphere of beauty and delight throughout time, and its mix of medieval and baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture, including palaces, gives the feeling that you are truly traveling back in time.

7 . What your dinner photos on Instagram say about you

Posting pictures on Instagram is a modern day version of writing a journal: It’s all about creating a connection between ourselves, our lives, friends, family and the wider public.     1     Each day, at least 95 million posts are shared on Instagram.

    2     Some people will post photos of their pets, their holidays or their social life — but in recent years, posting photos of the food that we eat conveys to the viewer something more than the food itself.

If someone posts photos of a meal that they have just cooked, the message they’re trying to convey is that they are a capable person. For example, if someone is on a health kick, they often seek social approval. If they’ve made a really healthy meal, they will typically post it with hashtags “#” like diet or health, which tie into other people’s experiences.     3    

There is also a growing trend of people taking photos of their food when they dine out at a restaurant.     4     These Instagrammers often tag places that are considered selective or to have a certain clientele (顾客群) , like celebrities — to indicate that they’re a person of worth. It feeds into their need for social approval and is a way of boosting their own self-esteem.

If people are on a diet or trying to eat a bit better, they can use platforms like Instagram to track what they’ve been eating. It’s a way of motivating other people as well as holding themselves responsible, while subconsciously saying “    5    ”. Sharing the diet is a way of both getting attention and taking responsibility from a wider audience.
