Imagine my joy when I finally found my way to Cafe aA in Hongdae!
"Seoul Design Spot" identifies 250 unique architectural creations or designer venues selected by 100 famed designers. Cafe aA Design Museum is a European-style hangout which falls under both museum and cafe categories. I was really excited to hunt for this chill-out museum.
The cafe currently occupies the ground floor of the 5-storey building, with the basement still under construction. The remaining floors showcases designer furniture, fashion, and art.
A while ago before heading to Korea, I came across these pictures and decided I just had to see this urban chic coffeehouse and view their art gallery! I'm not much of a big eater, but I snack heavily. This place provides really light bites (nuggets, pancakes, salads, risotto) and a good range of coffees for the after-work socialites, and the university kids looking for a conducive study cafe.
My dream came true in the form of Kahlua Cinnamon Ice – coffee with Kahlua topped with milk, cinnamon flavoured syrup and cinnamon flakes! At a reasonable price of 6,500 KRW, it totally made my day.
According to the owners, the lowercase in 'aA' stands for art, architecture, and alive. The capital A is an unchanging value, that one can expect 'the best a person can get'.
The interior seems pretty bright over here because I'd adjusted the colour but it's actually pretty dark inside. The walls are a grungy mix washed-out greys and chipped tiles, which I really loved because stepping alone into Cafe aA felt a tad spooky as if I'm paying a visit to a haunted house. Various elements funkified the dark atmosphere – designer coffee-table books and artistic pamphlets.

Selfie time in the creepy basement where I was all alone.
Best thing about this cafe? Its sheer size. It's impossible not to find a seat, or you could always order up, take a walk in the gallery, then come back and get yourself a table. Am totally in love with this place.
Hiking around Chungjeongno 충정로동 revealed many surprises about Seodaemun-Gu. First, I managed to catch the splendour of spring flowers at Dongnimmun, and was then awed by the grandeur of South Korea's Independence Gate. Not forgetting Seodaemun's Prison History Hall, reminding us all of mankind's ceaseless war amongst ourselves.
Out of the blue comes this charming red cafe all white-washed walls and scruffy front yard, with a deservingly quaint name! Gabae Naru does legit hand-drip coffee, and mostly serves nine-to-fivers from neighbouring high-rise corporate offices (as far as I can observe).
After much snooping around, I discovered the Gabae Naru brand is creative brainchild of one Ham Soohyun, mastermind behind concepts of various other coffeeshops.
Mostly, the interior is peppered with keepsakes and mementos belonging to the cafe owners. Anyone can help themselves to the books on display. I especially loved the owners' scattered polaroids of friends and customers. Goes to show that owning a cafe is indeed a personal and very sentimental affair.
I love a place that can fix a good cuppa iced cappucino. The espresso is hand-dripped, blended with ice, then frothed with a layer of milk. So much work goes into making it instead of pouring pre-made coffee over hot milk, then adding ice, which is basically what the big names do.
Let's go see what's on the upper floor shall we?
Basically, the second floor is dedicated space for smokers.
Such a lovely hidden gem in a busy part of town, way too out of the way and underrated. This would be one of 'em cafes that locals frequent, and the occasional tourist stumbles upon.
So this is one of 'em chain coffee-stores that also offer legit mojitos and cocktails, where I tasted one of the best sweet-potato lattes I've ever had! Purple's their defining colour. I've only so far tried one of their beverages. Everything else on their menu is the same as any of the other chain coffeehouses.
Was grabbing a hot drink before battling the cold spring weather on my way to Deoksugung at City Hall. This Hongdae franchise is the only one I've been to, given the amount of time I had, and usually it's crammed up besides the other cafe giants like Caffe Bene, Coffee Bean, Starbucks and the likes, hence much neglected (by me).
On the day I decided to give this a try, it was incredibly empty at 10 am as the university kids were probably at school. Then again 10am isn't exactly an ungodly hour, since the cafe is open 24/7. I pass this cafe every night while going back to my guesthouse and it really fills up past 10pm. Kinda reminds me of my own late-night uni days!
For book-lovers like myself, this is somewhere akin to heaven! With a two-floor occupancy, this cafe boasts more than 3,000 books stacked from floor to ceiling, with a ladder allowing visitors to peruse the books on higher shelves.
Run by Munhakdongne publishing group, Book Cafe Comma is known in Seoul for its investments in talented young writers. Most books in-store are sold at half-price. Some of them are not even available anywhere else!
What you see on sale are not restricted to those published by Munhak. A couple of popular English fiction (Fifty Shades trilogy – what's new) were spotted in its midst. Books aside, I also loved the gorgeous interior and comfortably dimmed lighting.
At 7pm in the evening on a weekday, the place seemed deserted. On the upper deck however, loads of serious faces were mentally attacking their textbooks with wrath.
What they had on offer was pretty limited but trust me, the tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had! The square slice looked home-made as it was cut from a panned box, fresh from the refrigerator. Heavy on rum and espresso, the cake was not too sweet and very moist (I hate dry / flaky tiramisu).
I loved the ambience on the upper deck – it's so conducive I wish I'd brought my laptop with me. The level of silence is adequate for sounding out your own thoughts, yet not mind-numbingly eerie.
I cannot emphasis how much I loved this tiramisu enough!!
In close proximity to Seoul's top art university, Hongdae is home to a myriad of quirky hipster cafes. Cafe Comma is definitely up there on my list of favourites and cafes to re-visit when I go again in summer!
홍대 북카페 '콤마'에서 잘 생긴 남자를 봤어. 키가 크고 좋은 피부를 가지고, 그는 책을 읽고 있었다. 완전 내 스타일 ^^ ㅋ ㅋ 난 돌아올거야!
When I take my coffee black with no sugar, I know I'm tasting the results of seriously good cocoa beans. If like me, you loathe the acidic aftertaste that only milk or brown sugar can eliminate, and you would much rather down a dozen cups of cappuccino or caffe latte over multiple espresso shots, you'd be glad to know that gourmet black coffee can actually be sweet and very delectable!
At Cafe Miz Moren, there are no espresso machines. Every cup is vacuum-brewed using the siphon brewing method. These coffee makers are really cool-looking hour-glass shaped tubes with a bottom container where water is heated, a top container that has a siphon tube attached to it where the coffee brewing takes place, and a filter made of glass, paper, metal, or cloth. Unlike hand-dripped coffee, upon heating, siphon-brewed coffee is vacuumed into the top container, thus somewhat 'defying gravity' in the process!
My Ethiopia Yirgacheffe G2 with distinct aromatic floral tones in the aroma, and light, flowery non-acidic aftertaste. This went down so smoothly without any tinge of roasted rough bitterness.
In addition I love how the cafe offers a selection of interesting blends, highlighted in their menu along with acidity levels and iconic tastes. The Guatemala Antigua SHB is "smoky & spicy with unique acidity", whilst the Tanzania Peaberry is described as having "deep richness – a bright pleasant flavor with mild acidity". There's nothing interesting about its interior as siphon brewing is the cafe's main draw, along with its amazing blends. Loads of Korean cafe blogs also recommend their in-house Miz Moren Blend!
Their famous siphon-brewing coffee makers on display, with the siphon brew masters at work. This is not a cafe, it's a laboratory.
Honestly, I will never take Starbucks Americano ever again.
Doubling as a furniture store, Paul & Lina's is a place patrons do purchase chopping boards and pepper shakers with sweet potato lattes. The sign says it all: furniture, fabrics, coffee and desserts. Though small, this underrated cafe seems loaded with ornaments and homeware for sale. The owners are a homely couple with an elementary school son who was being tutored by his mom the evening I chanced upon the area (having walked from Sangsu Station).
You know that feeling, when you walk into a place, instantly to feel a lot lighter and happier? This place gave me good vibes!
Almost everything you see are saleable items! The cafe owners also have an online store where you can view these beautiful woodwork and home deco pieces.
For such a large coffee diner, there isn't much seating room – just 3 of these two-seater tables and a living room space with plush cushions and sofas for larger groups of people. Most customers came for beverages to-go and woodwork items. For an hour or so it was just me, and a guy on the laptop tapping away in the seats behind. With such privacy and seclusion I'm surprised so few are attracted to this place!
음료를 즐기면서, 난 책을 읽고 있어요. Iced cold Yuja-Cha for the winter-like spring.
Quietly set on a higher ground of a double-storeyed house, I hardly noticed Paul & Lina's existence. This sign pointed me to the right side of the alley, a short walk up from Sangsu Station. Tucked away in such seclusion, I do hope it's not just a cafe that furniture enthusiasts only would know of!!
P.S. I miss Hongdae so much!! I'm back home from a week of spring-time in Germany, but I would give anything to be walking on cherry blossoms in Jeju right now.
Post-lunch coffee at Cafe 5Ci Jung is akin to spending the afternoon at a friendly neighbour's home. A very warm welcome awaits you the moment you step through its doors, right up till you leave its premises. Each barista made an effort to greet every guest, and never seemed to stop smiling. I was further impressed when the lady boss bothered to ask me what my coffee preferences were, before she took my orders at the counter.
I especially loved their cutesy deco pieces! !The homely warmth makes me want to sink into their cosy chairs, all day long. Its interior is unbelievably spick and span – I swear there's literally not a speck of dust in sight.
I believe a whole lot of thought went into choosing these trinkets and ornaments which fits like pieces of a puzzle in the entire cafe's concept – a romantic, playful and vibrant home environment.
I also felt as if I were back in elementary school…or perhaps I've found my way into a life-sized doll house! Miniature flowerpots, rainbow-coloured paintings, fresh white walls and smooth cherrywood furniture – it's a really refreshing place to load up on caffeine and food or simply to recharge yourself!
Buttery and crisp homemade scones are served on the house with any beverage orders, completely free-of-charge. My usual afternoon cafe latte arrived with an entourage: scone and Mr Lego-Man.
These homemade scones were simply heavenly, along with butter and apple custard sauce. Only in 5Ci Jung you get hospitality like this. Thoughtful table placemats, and an accompanying gift of a mini Lego is what made me fall in love with this whole presentation.
With franchises in Samcheongdong and Garosu-gil, the novelty of Cafe 5Ci Jung is worth experiencing for yourself. I can't express how much I wish I could be back at this cafe right now! Yes, it feels as intimate as my living room.
I didn't exactly shake it, because the lady who served my lunch told me I didn't have to unless I wanted the egg yolk to explode, and I dislike my rice soaked in yolk. But damn, this was sooooo good.
Miss Lee Cafe is where Seohyun and Yonghwa met on Season 2 of We Got Married (우리 결혼했어요). For many Koreans, dosirak brings them back to the 70′s and 80′s when parents prepared little metal containers of rice, kimchi, luncheon meat, kelp and other goodies!
It's located right above GS25, which you will see not long after stepping out of Anguk Station Exit 6.
I love the way they paved the stairway leading up to their diner. Everything is so vibrant and cutesy, it left me starry-eyed. I knew I was definitely in the right place.
Just as I'd pictured, the place was messy and picturesquely homely. Tables and chairs here are downsized too! Somehow being here gives you a sense of privacy, with all the overhanging messages and ceiling decorations, you can't see the people on the other side of the restaurant.
The diner is also spammed / decorated with messages to and from Korean celebrities.
It was exactly 11am when I reached Miss Lee Cafe, and they had just opened their doors to their first customers – a couple on a date, and I the solo venturer.
And so I ordered their iconic dosirak and a cup of rosemary tea.
My lunchbox arrived with Korean dessert-snacks and seaweed soup!
I loved the lunchbox set! I guess kimchi makes rice taste so good, and top it off with eggs and seaweed…you've got yourself a winner. Plus the novelty off Miss Lee Cafe has been upped after its popularity shot through the roof with YongSeo couple on We Got Married. There's no need to emphasize how this is a must-go for Seoul-enthusiasts!
Just look out for this sign when you exit Anguk Station and reach the head of Insadong!
비행기 타기를 즐기십니까? Do you love plane rides and travelling?Personally I'm a huge fan of the Travel Cafe in Hapjeong/Hongik University district. Amongst an abundance of travel inspirations and books on various attractive destinations, this is the perfect place to plan for your next trip, or simply to relive the excitement of a plane ride. When you order something to eat, your food is served as a set on a tray, just like in an airplane – appetisers, main course, drinks and dessert.
I can never get tired of looking at pictures in travel books and magazines.
At 9PM late evening: couple of stragglers still lingering in the Hongdae area. This cafe is open till pretty late in the night (11PM) so go ahead and chill-out in the comfort of this homely space.
Major Korean publishers Jaeum and Moeum (자음과모음) releases the latest bestsellers via their flagship bookstores, as well as this dainty and elegant book cafe situated in central Yanghwaro, Hongdae. An all-day set menu includes a cup of coffee bundled with new releases.
I can't think of a better environment to cram for an examination, or just to cuddle up with a good book in a cozy little corner. The ambience was thick with an air of contemplative silence with a rhythmic tap-tap-tapping of fingers on keyboards.
Blueberry smoothie to accompany this need for books and people-watching. This is where I finally finish reading A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian!
A perfect collision of art and coffee culture – what better way to kick back in appreciation of art installations with a coffee in hand! Ways of Seeing is a cafe slash art gallery along Itaewon. The local indie artsy-types would definitely know this place – it's probably their favourite hangout.
They have the standard coffee menu plus sandwiches, ciabattas, cakes and more. Opted for a standard latte and I'm surprised at the sheer size of their take-out cups. Though it may look small in this photo, it's almost a Starbucks Venti.
Stores with a Seoul Design Spot banner on its storefront are definitely places you must visit. A few museums, galleries and cafes which I've been to are marked out and labelled as a Seoul Design Spot for various reasons! Ways of Seeing is also on the design spot list.
With ever-changing installations, this refreshing hideout is worth a return visit. Equidistant between Hangangjin and Itaewon subway station, the area is extremely accessible though it's closer to the residential buildings! Itaewon is on my list of favorite districts in Seoul, for the sheer amount of cafes and museums to check out is startling! I love this district.
Glamorous Penguin is established within the expat-friendly Itaewon locale which is home to a myriad of private and national art museums, and also a walking distance from Hannamdong Cafe Street. Despite being a weekday mid-morning, Glamorous Penguin was already bustling with a caffeine-hungry crowd! Itaewon is the artsy-fartsy neighbourhood similar to Gangnam, but with less self-established private corporations. The entire Itaewon is more or less a controlled tourism district.
Looking for somewhere to rest your feet? These cute twin penguins will definitely capture your attention!
What looks good: cheesecakes, carrot cake, muffins, polenta, velvet cake, home-made chocolate cookies. The double-storeyed bakery cafe has plenty of seating spaces, although it can get pretty crowded.
Ordered a strawberry latte! Plenty of fresh strawberries to chew on in the mixture of milk and juice.
The nearest station is Hangangjin and if you keep walking along the main street in the direction of Itaewon station, keep to the right side of the road. You make to make a right turn into an alley and you'll spot a couple of chic trendy diners. Voila!
Only in Seoul, you get to dine with a lamb! With the proliferation of overrated cat and dog cafes, Hongdae's first and only sheep cafe (양카페) has been making headlines. Owner of the cafe, Kwang-Ho Lee, is spotted feeding the frisky little ones in their outdoor enclosure. Much to my surprise, the sheep didn't smell bad! In fact, all I could smell were the aromatic scent of coffee and waffles.
Lean over and grab a handful of wool! I got a bit excited when I got to touch the sheep, just like in a petting-zoo. See that man squatting in the corner? That's the kind-looking boss and manager. It's feeding time!
Omnomnom. It's breakfast time for us humans too.
Thanks Nature Cafe is famous for their waffles, which they serve in a variety of styles. All of which are home-made on the spot, served fresh as you order.
When my Berrynana Waffle arrived, I went wild at how beautiful food can actually look. Is this even edible? HELL YES!
Strawberries are indeed in season – they're so fresh, sweet and succulent! The waffles are crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, served with a layer of fresh cream sandwiched between the fruits and the generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Hands-down the best waffles I've had!! (beats the one I had in London's Pure Waffle). Ordered a peppermint tea to go along.
My goodness, I just had to snap this photo of this chubby-cheeks kid. He was speaking to the sheep, begging them to come out from their enclosure. HOW ADORABLE!! The kid I mean! Seriously, I want my future child to be plump so that I can play with his/her cheeks.
The owner loves his sheep so much, these photos melted my heart.
Yes I caught a snapshot of it looking at me!
Poor disappointed kid. After the sheep had their tummies filled, they insisted on remaining behind bars.
The cafe is on a basement level on the left-hand side of the uphill street leading up to Hongik University. Blink and you might miss it! So keep your eyes peeled for this green sign.
Need I say more? The name speaks for itself. It's a jungle in here!
I love this wildlife, amazonian concept. There are different animals and wildlife knick knacks in each Zoo Coffee house.
Found this chain coffee house on my walk to Yeouido and popped in for dessert! Tiramisu…my love.
Gangnam's Garosugil is laden with patisseries, cake-shops, chocolatiers and coffeehouses. Deux Crèmes is one of the most popular and renowned pastry houses that occupies a standalone 3-storey building along the main street, drawing in a steady stream of dessert-seeking locals and foreigner everyday, and feeding this steady stream with their very special pie-tart-cake hybrids.
Read: Deux Crèmes was awarded Travel CNN's Best pie-tart-cake hybrid for their Caramel Tiramisu. I think, that Deux Crèmes should be awarded best modernist architectural design for dessert cafes.
I tried their Muscato Tart: glazed champagne grapes cushioned with a layer of banana and custard cream on a thick crisp crust. Sounds like heaven on a slice? Tastes like heaven on a slice!
The kind pastry chefs awarded me photographic opportunities and I snapped away at their amazing, aesthetically appealing tarts. These pastries are actually freshly baked behind the counters by talented chefs in white.
If you're in the area, you've got to seek this place out because their tarts, though pricier than the usual range, is worth every penny. There are over 100 different champagnes and wines to go with the tarts, and the in-house sommeliers can tell you exactly what wines go with the dessert you're having! Such personalized service makes for a very awesome dessert experience.
Reminiscent of a warehouse and appearing somewhat like a garage amidst reformation, the high-ceilinged 50 Fifty Cafe in uptown Apgujeong is hip and trendy with a rustic Junk-Style appeal. Diners can choose between smoking and non-smoking seating areas to enjoy a truly stress-free meal amongst the company of friends and tasteful lounge music. Kick back with a 50 Fifty cuppa, or settle down with something off their brunch set menu!
The kitchens are on the upper floor, an open concept overlooking the dining space. You can observe your food being prepared.
Extremely filling and satisfying brunch! Lots of artistic and media companies are within the Gangnam district, hence the abundance of cafes in this part of town for lunch meetings, tea breaks and coffee runs. 50 Fifty was pretty quiet for a Friday mid-afternoon, and I suspect it has more patrons on the weekends. For such a trendy upscale restaurant, it must attract the mid-20s and early-30s crowd.
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower." Nothing else better invokes purity of thoughts than innocence of youth. In this rustic foliage of greens and florals, William Blake's Auguries of Innocence springs to mind.
Off the beaten track on Gangnam-Gu's Garosu-Gil is my favorite cafe by a long shot. Bloom and Goûté cafe is an intimate space, tastefully decorated with bouquets of blooming flowers, oak wood tables, chic garlands and housed in exposed brick walls in an independent two-storeyed building. Downstairs, flowers are tended to, bought and sold, along with displays of cakes and other mouth-watering desserts. Upstairs is where the seating spaces run out quickly during the busiest periods.
The concept of B&G was created by marrying the influences of European cultures. Co-owners Lee Jin-sook studied botany in London while Jo Jung-hee undertook baking in Paris. From classy table settings (one-of-a-kind floral arrangements) to the uniqueness of B&G's sweet and savoury menu, a European bohemian charm permeates the space, blending beautifully with scents of musk and florals.
A Maximowiczia and Mint Detox Soda – a Bloom and Goûté Special.
Some of B&G's desserts. They do have the staples such as waffles, salads, sandwiches, but I'm told their special is the homemade strawberry cheesecake.
I want to lie in a bed of roses and love flowers forever.
What's good here? Blueberry and peanut churros! A churros specialty cafe was exactly what I was keeping an eye out for. Opened by the CEO of Pledis Entertainment (Afterschool, NU'EST, Son Dambi), the cafe is decked out in signed paraphernalia from their artistes.
If you're looking for a particular cafe on Sinsa-dong, blink and you might miss it. I very nearly looked past Coffee Chu until the huge CHURROS sign caught a glint of the afternoon sun.
Was planning to visit the one at Itaewon but it seems like I've found Garosu-gil branch. Will be heading to Itaewon tomorrow and this leaves more time for me to check out the other cafes over there!
Exploring Apgujeong Rodeo Street led me to CGV Cinema at Sinsa-Dong, Gangnam-Gu. This dessert cafe used to be A Twosome Place by 51k, owned by actor So Ji Sub, until the 1st of January this year when this was turned into a normal Twosome Place cafe. Linked directly to the cinema, you can purchase coffee and movie tickets at the same place.
My strawberry macarons cake…watch as I dissect it slowly till I've cured my boredom.
The TWOSOME is a piece of yummy edible chocolate.
The top half is my favourite part! The macaron shell.
The person who snapped this said, to never stop fighting for my goals. If you're reading this, I hope you don't too. Onwards #2019.


Electromagnetic flux is what the extraterrestrial UFOs use for navigation, armor, propagation and stealth. The strength of electromagnetic field used is so high that scientists wondered what was the technology behind such endless and high intensity electromagnetic force fields in these space modules.
Now scientists are getting early indication of what is behind these advanced alien ships in obtaining the electromagnetic force fields. The Physical Universe is connected with the underlying Hyperspace by some sparsely distributed particle size small windows called Fermions. These Fermions literally connect our universe with the 5-D Hyperspace.
The suction from the Hyperspace through the Fermions create the gravity and the electromagnetic force fields. The Fermions exist in 5-D and hence are virtual in 3-D space of our physical Universe. These Fermions are the opening to the Hyperspace from the 3-D space of our Physical Universe. The extraterrestrial UFOs can easily detect these Fermions since the alien space ships are also real in 5-D Hyperspace and virtual in 3-D space. They use the Fermions to tap the suction from the Hyperspace and divert the electromagnetic force fields towards its propagation, navigation, stealth and armor engines.
This really provides the extraterrestrial UFOs the endless source of electromagnetic force fields of immense intensity. Some space agencies have tried using super-cooled superconductors to create the electromagnetic force fields but got baffled at the result. Now it is clear to the scientists that the main source of electromagnetic energy is not the superconductor but the Fermions that overlap the Physical Universe and Hyperspace and connect the two through billions and billions of microscopic openings.
The extraterrestrial flight patterns show that the UFOs maintain steady flight navigation and propagation. They can accelerate and decelerate in a manner as if an endless electric motor with source energy supply is connected to them. What really happens is that the Fermions are distributed all over the Universe in trillions and the UFOs can connect to them all the time.
The mechanism works like cell phone or mobile phone technologies. One set of Fermions hand over the control to next set of Fermions as the UFO propagate and navigate forward in a 3-D space of the physical universe. In remote areas, cell phone companies install something called micro cells that act as relay mechanism. The extraterrestrial UFOs install artificial Fermions in areas where natural Fermions are not available. This provides the UFOs the propagation and navigation in remote areas like under earth�s crust and so on.


Greetings, Beloved Ones. We are here to help you remember that you are Love. All else is illusion. So, when you come to this place of quiet inside, relax, let go and feel. There is no need to think or figure anything out. Your essence is beyond time and space and words.
Let go….. Be here in this glorious moment of eternity.
Now….. Remember, remember the truth of who you are.
You are the air, the chair, the room, the vibration of life.
You are all and you are nothing.
Just be…..allow yourself to be more fully who you are.
No judgments, just a deep resonance of Love.
So, what are we here to teach? What is there to learn? Only Love. When you release the past and surrender to the moment, all that is left is Love. The future is glorious. Know this to be true. As you experience yourself as Love, more and more of your destiny will unfold in a very magical and spontaneous way. No more will you have to explain every detail of every event in your life. You will be guided.
But first, there is a willingness to go into the stillness. To reside in the quiet of your heart center, to be. From this place comes the wisdom of the ages. From this place comes all truth and knowing. So…..STOP…..SLOW DOWN…..BREATHE.
We are here to practice going deep inside. Let yourself have this experience. Truly, there is nothing to hold onto. No image or practice or thought of yourself comes close to the reality of your being. So, don't try to understand and make knowingness come – just be as you are in the moment and let the miracle of you shine through. Love is easy. Trying to love is hard, feel the difference. Do not seek to love outside yourself. It will always elude you, like a seed blowing in the wind.
Instead, be still and feel the love in yourself, so powerful, so true. No where to go, but here. If there is pain, feel the pain. No need to change anything. We repeat – No need to change anything. For it is in the acceptance that love comes. Accept your confusions, your questions, your hurts. This is all part of the perfect plan of existence. There is no 'right' way. Go deeper into yourself, whatever is there. Do not run away from yourself in search of peace. Come home to the self, rest easy in your heart.
Blessings to you beloved sisters, brothers of the light. The work you do on yourselves is never wasted. Always, you grow in your ability to love, to be a clear channel for God's Love. You already are. You first need to get the mind out of the way.
Peace, Peace, Peace. Keep up your spiritual practice. Your shining essence will burn through all illusion. Let yourself be like a beautiful, polished apple; shining and glossy, full of life and vitality, with gifts to give the world.


A group that represents Australia's mobile telecommunications sector has criticised comments by Prime Minister Tony Abbott about the cost of implementing a data retention regime.
Abbott said in a doorstop interview earlier this week that the "even at the highest estimate" the cost to the telecommunications industry of implementing a mandatory data retention regime is "less than one per cent of this $40 billion a year and growing sector".
"So, we're talking about a $40 billion a year sector and even at the highest estimate we've got, the cost of metadata retention is less than one per cent of the total sector," the PM said.
"So, it seems like a small price to pay to give ourselves the kind of safety and the kind of freedom that people in a country like Australia deserve."
The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association has issued a statement expressing alarm at what it says could represent a watering-down of the government's commitment to contribute to the cost of establishing the scheme.
AMTA cited a statement from Abbott during a 4BC interview when he said that "part of operating in this country ought to be maintaining the kind of data retention which enables our police and law enforcement bodies to do their job."
The government has previously indicated it would contribute to the cost of setting up a mandatory data retention regime, though it has not indicated if it will contribute to the costs of operating and upgrading any systems related to the scheme in the future.
How much the scheme is likely to cost and exactly how much the government will contribute have not been publicly revealed.
"We need to know how much this will cost," Labor's communications spokesperson, Jason Clare, said in a Sky News interview earlier this week.
"The [Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security has] been briefed on this but the general public hasn't yet and we think that it's very important that the parliament and members of parliament know how much this will cost before they're asked to vote on this legislation next month," Clare said.
"Industry needs a supportive and responsive policy framework to reach its potential — not arbitrary cost slugs," ATMA's CEO, Chris Althaus, said.
"Furthermore, it appears the efficacy of the proposed data retention approach is also lacking given the recent acknowledgement that local industry will bear the cost of data retention while offshore over-the-top providers of services in Australia will not be captured by the scheme and, therefore, will not bear an equivalent compliance burden to meet data retention requirements."
Althaus was referring to comments by representatives of the Attorney-General's Department at a hearing of an inquiry into revision of the <i>Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979</i>.
The department acknowledged that metadata from use of services such as Skype and web-based email services provided by overseas companies would not be captured under the data retention scheme.

BIG BEAR (CBSLA.com) — Forensic investigators are working to identify human remains recovered in the charred debris of a Big Bear cabin where quadruple murder suspect Christopher Dorner was believed to have been holed up during a firefight that claimed the life of a San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: SoCal Manhunt
"Investigators have located charred human remains within the debris of the burned out cabin," San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said in a news release. Forensic techniques will now be used to identify the body.
On Wednesday, an Associated Press source confirmed that Dorner's California driver's license was found inside the burned cabin with the body.
Until the remains are positively identified, a modified security detail on at least a dozen out of the 50 Los Angeles police officers named in Dorner's manifesto will continue, officials said.
"Until Mr. Dorner has been identified as either deceased or he has handcuffs on him and he's sitting in a jail, we're gonna continue as though he's still out there," Cmdr. Andy Smith said.
The remains were discovered late Tuesday night in a burned-out cabin in the Seven Oaks area of Big Bear.

Authorities believe Dorner, 33, barricaded himself inside the vacant property after he stole one truck, carjacked another and ultimately crashed it Tuesday afternoon.
The resort town was the focus of the manhunt since last Thursday when authorities discovered the former Navy reservist's burned-out Nissan Titan near Big Bear Lake. Weapons, survival gear and a gas mask were among the charred items recovered from the vehicle.
Despite cabin-to-cabin searches, there was no sign of Dorner for six days until the morning of Feb. 12.
He reportedly broke into a condo in the 1200 block of Club View Road and took a couple hostage. The residence was ironically within sight of a Sheriff's and media outpost.
The man and woman were held hostage for an unknown amount of time. On Tuesday morning, one of them was able to escape and contact police after Dorner stole their vehicle.
He later abandoned it before carjacking a truck on Highway 38 around 12:20 p.m.
Dorner was spotted by Fish and Game officers and gunfire was exchanged before he fled into the forest and barricaded himself inside a cabin, authorities said.
The suspect then engaged in a raging gun battle with deputies, killing one and injuring another.
CBS2's Carter Evans and his crew were caught in the middle of the firefight, but were uninjured.
At one point, Dorner tried to escape by throwing a smoke grenade at officers, Carter reported.
The siege continued for hours until around 4:20 p.m. when tear gas was fired into the home. A single gunshot was later heard resonating from inside the residence, Evans reported.
The home quickly became engulfed, although authorities are still not sure how the fire started. The suspect was never seen leaving the cabin.
It is unknown exactly how the person believed to be Dorner died.
The quadruple-murder suspect is accused in the revenge killings of Monica Quan, 28, and her 27-year-old fiancé, Keith Lawrence, in Irvine on Feb. 3.
The 33-year-old suspect was formerly employed as a Los Angeles police officer from 2005 to 2008, when he was fired for making false accusations against a fellow officer.
Quan's father, a former LAPD Captain, represented Dorner in the hearing that ultimately lead to his dismissal from the force. Dorner was named as a suspect in the deaths of Quan and Lawrence on Feb. 6.
He is also wanted in the ambush murder of Riverside police officer Michael Crain, who was shot to death in his patrol car on Feb. 7.
Crain's partner was also critically injured in the ambush, but is expected to make a full recovery.
Crain was laid to rest Wednesday morning.
The Los Angeles Police Department refused to comment on the San Bernardino County investigation during a Wednesday news conference.
Highway 330 and Hwy 18 to Big Bear were open Wednesday with no restrictions. Highway 38 is open to only residents of Valley of the Falls, Mountain Home Village, and Angeles Oaks.
Residents of these communities must show proper identification.
Highway 38 remains inaccessible to all other traffic until the ongoing investigation is resolved.

Physicists have carried out successful teleportation with particles of light over a distance of 600m across the River Danube in Austria.
Long distance teleportation is crucial if dreams of superfast quantum computing are to be realised.
When physicists say "teleportation", they are describing the transfer of key properties from one particle to another without a physical link.
The team has published its findings in the academic journal Nature.
Researchers from the University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Science used an 800m-long optical fibre fed through a public sewer system tunnel to connect labs on opposite sides of the River Danube.
The link establishes a channel between the labs, dubbed Alice and Bob. This enables the properties, or "quantum states", of light particles to be transferred between the sender (Alice) and the receiver (Bob).
In the computers of tomorrow, this information would form the qubits (the quantum form of the digital bits 1 and 0) of data processing through the machines.
The Austrian team encoded their qubits using a property of light particles, also called photons, known as polarisation. This property describes the direction in which they oscillate.
Quantum teleportation relies on an aspect of physics known as "entanglement", whereby the properties of two particles can be tied together even when they are far apart. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance".
The Nature study used an experimental method in which Alice performs a joint measurement on one photon in the entangled pair and on an "input" photon.
As a result of this measurement, Bob transforms the quantum state of the other photon in the entangled pair into that of the input photon.
The researchers were able to teleport three distinct polarisation states between Alice and Bob via the fibre-optic cable through the tunnel.
The significance of this research was that it took place under "real world" conditions.
"The really interesting question for us was whether we could do this outside a lab setting, in the environment used for today's fibre-optic communications," co-author Rupert Ursin of the University of Vienna told BBC News Online.
"This is very important if you are talking about investing money in quantum communication."
Quantum teleportation could be harnessed for fast, powerful computers or communication networks.
In the underground sewer pipe tunnel, the fibre-optic link was exposed to temperature fluctuations and other environmental factors that could interfere with the process.
Nicolas Gisin of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, successfully teleported quantum bits, or qubits, between two labs over 2km of coiled cable. But the actual distance between the two labs was about 55m.
Mr Ursin said a next step towards worldwide quantum communication would be to attempt the teleportation of quantum states between particles using a satellite link.
"The first thing you will need to do is find out whether you can have entanglement over such long distances. But teleportation will be one of the next goals," he added.
The researchers were also able to double the efficiency of teleportation using linear optics.

Catmose students scoop awards for excellence
Jamie Tylecote and Mary Tomblin
Catmose College students Jamie Tylecote and Mary Tomblin have been recognised for their sporting excellence.
The duo were named Junior Sportsman and Junior Sportswoman of the Year for 2017 at the Leicestershire and Rutland Sports Awards ceremony held at Leicester Tigers stadium.
Tomblin, a Year 10 student at Catmose College, won the award for her successes on the England Judo Pre-Cadet squad, as well as her performance competing at international and national competitions.
She took part in the International Flanders Cup in Belgium in October, representing the United Kingdom and she was placed fifth out of 19.
She is now part of the cadets team and trains with the Vale Judo Club which is based at Oakham Enterprise Hub.
Year eight student Tylecote was recognised for his achievements in sailing.
During 2017, he took part in the Open Bic World Championships in Italy, representing the United Kingdom alongside one other solo sailor in the Under-13s category.
Having competed in several national and international sailing events during 2017, Tylecote hopes this summer to represent the United Kingdom at the World Championships in Barcelona, this time in the hotly-contested Under 17s category.
He is a member of Rutland Sailing Club and sails at weekends, as well as being a keen footballer, swimmer and triathlete.
The students were nominated for the awards ceremony having won Young Sportswoman of the Year and Junior Sportsman of the Year at the Active Rutland Community Awards in November 2017.
They both have sports scholarships at Catmose College, enabling them to access presentations and advice from visiting athletes, as well as free gym membership to complement their club training.
Catmose College is extremely proud of their fantastic achievements, and wish both students all the best in their upcoming competitions.

"Seek truth from facts" is a historically established idiomatic expression (chengyu) in the Chinese language that first appeared in the Book of Han. Originally, it described an attitude toward study and research.

In modern Chinese culture
The slogan became a key element of Maoism, first quoted by Mao Zedong during a speech at the Sixth National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 1938, in reference to pragmatism. Mao had probably remembered it as being the inscription on his alma mater, Hunan's First Teachers Training School. Beginning in 1978, it was further promoted by Deng Xiaoping as a central ideology of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and applied to economic and political reforms thereafter.

Use in political context

On 11 May 1978 journalist Hu Fuming published an article in Guangming Daily entitled "Practice is the Sole Criterion for Testing the Truth"()directly contradicting then CCP general secretary Hua Guofeng's line of the "Two Whatevers" () policy and thereby Mao Zedong's policy of class struggle in favour of economic reform championed by Deng Xiaoping. The title of the article is inspired by the saying and is widely seen as a seminal document in Chinese history marking the beginning of the Reform and Opening Up era.

Miley Cyrus releases new music for ex-husband Liam Hemsworth's birthday
Celebrities Nadine Live-Style Monday 02nd January 2023 11:37 AM
Miley Cyrus arrives in 2023 like a wrecking ball.
Before ringing in the New Year, the pop star surprised her Instagram followers by announcing that there was new music on the horizon. Simply put, she captioned her Dec. 31 post, "NEW YEAR, NEW MILEY, NEW SINGLE."
Miley even shared a small part of the song, titled "Flowers," as she sang the lyrics: "I can love myself better than you."
The 30-year-old also announced that her track will be released on January 13, which happens to be her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth'the birthday of. While Miley has yet to comment on whether or not her new music should coincide with her ex's birthday, it's clear from the lyrics she teased that the song is full of meaning.
Additionally, January holds significance for the former married couple, who finalized their divorce in January 2020. At the time, a source close to Liam told E! News that they were both looking forward to closing this chapter in their lives.
Everything Miley Cyrus Said About Her Split From Liam Hemsworth
"It's a relief for both of them that they can legally move on from each other and put this behind them," the insider said. "They're both ready to sort out any unsolved cases."

The hunger Games The actor filed for divorce in August 2019 after less than a year of marriage. Two weeks prior, the two publicly announced their split, with Miley's rep telling E! News that they have both agreed to separate.
"Ever evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they decided that was the best thing as they both focused on themselves and their careers," noted the representative of the singer. "They remain dedicated parents to all of their shared animals while lovingly taking this time apart."
Since calling it quits, the two have kept the details of their split out of the spotlight. However, the "Mother's Daughter" artist shared a glimpse of her road to recovery from heartbreak exactly one year after the news broke.
"I'm a very logical person," she said on Apple Music Radio Essential with Zane Loweby People. "And I really try not to get lost in emotion, because our emotion is lying to us. Our emotion sometimes makes us believe that every thought we think is real."
She continued: "And I remember at a time when we're dealing with heartbreak, it's like, 'I'll never be the same again. You know ? "My life is…" all those things that I said to myself; it's just not true."
Miley and Liam have both struck up new romances.
The "Slide Away" singer has since evolved with Lily the drummer, Maxx Morando, whom she has been dating for almost a year. Liam is also going strong with his girlfriend of three years, Gabriella Brooks.
With January 13 just weeks away, it's only a matter of time before fans find out what Miley's new song is about. But before that, rewatch his epic performance with Cart

Each monster description is organized in the same general format, as outlined below.
Size and Type
Hit Dice
Armor Class
Base Attack/Grapple
Full Attack
Space/Reach
Special Attacks and Special Qualities
Challenge Rating
Level Adjustment
This portion of a monster description contains basic game information on the creature.
This is the name by which the creature is generally known. The descriptive text may provide other names.
This line describes the creature's size. A size modifier applies to the creature's Armor Class (AC) and attack bonus, as well as to certain skills. A creature's size also determines how far it can reach to make a melee attack and how much space it occupies in a fight (see Space/Reach, below).
The size and type line continues with the creature's type. Type determines how magic affects a creature. Type determines certain features, such as Hit Dice size, base attack bonus, base saving throw bonuses, and skill points.
This line gives the creature's number and type of Hit Dice, and lists any bonus hit points. A parenthetical note gives the average hit points for a creature of the indicated number of Hit Dice. A creature's Hit Dice total is also treated as its level for determining how spells affect the creature, its rate of natural healing, and its maximum ranks in a skill.
This line gives the creature's modifier on initiative checks.
This line gives the creature's tactical speed on land (the amount of distance it can cover in one move action). If the creature wears armor that reduces its speed, the creature's base land speed follows.
If the creature has other modes of movement, these are given after (or in place of) the land speed. Unless noted otherwise, modes of movement are natural (not magical).
The Armor Class line gives the creature's AC for normal combat and includes a parenthetical mention of the modifiers contributing to it (usually size, Dexterity, and natural armor). The creature's touch and flat-footed ACs follow the combat-ready AC.
A creature's armor proficiencies (if it has any) depend on its type, but in general a creature is automatically proficient with any kind of armor it is described as wearing (light, medium, or heavy), and with all lighter kinds of armor.
The number before the slash on this line is the creature's base attack bonus (before any modifiers are applied). This number won't often be used, but it can be handy sometimes, especially if the creature has the Power Attack or Combat Expertise feats.
The number after the slash is the creature's grapple bonus, which is used when the creature makes a grapple attack or when someone tries to grapple the creature. The grapple bonus includes all modifiers that apply to the creature's grapple checks (base attack bonus, Strength modifier, special size modifier, and any other applicable modifier, such as a racial bonus on grapple checks).
This line shows the single attack the creature makes with an attack action. In most cases, this is also the attack the creature uses when making an attack of opportunity as well. The attack line provides the weapon used (natural or manufactured), attack bonus, and form of attack (melee or ranged). The attack bonus given includes modifications for size and Strength (for melee attacks) or Dexterity (for ranged attacks). A creature with the Weapon Finesse feat can use its Dexterity modifier on melee attacks. If the creature uses natural attacks, the natural weapon given here is the creature's primary natural weapon. If the creature has several different weapons at its disposal, the alternatives are shown, with each different attack separated by the word 'or.' A creature can use one of its secondary natural weapons when making an attack action, but if it does it takes an attack penalty, as noted in the Full Attack section below. The damage that each attack deals is noted parenthetically. Damage from an attack is always at least 1 point, even if a subtraction from a die roll reduces the result to 0 or lower.
This line shows all the physical attacks the creature makes when it uses a full-round action to make a full attack. It gives the number of attacks along with the weapon, attack bonus, and form of attack (melee or ranged). The first entry is for the creature's primary weapon, with an attack bonus including modifications for size and Strength (for melee attacks) or Dexterity (for ranged attacks). A creature with the Weapon Finesse feat can use its Dexterity modifier on melee attacks. The remaining weapons are secondary, and attacks with them are made with a -5 penalty to the attack roll, no matter how many there are. Creatures with the Multiattack feat take only a -2 penalty on secondary attacks. The damage that each attack deals is noted parenthetically. Damage from an attack is always at least 1 point, even if a subtraction from a die roll reduces the result to 0 or lower.
A creature's primary attack damage includes its full Strength modifier (1-1/2 times its Strength bonus if the attack is with the creature's sole natural weapon) and is given first. Secondary attacks add only 1/2 the creature's Strength bonus and are given second in the parentheses.
If any attacks also have some special effect other than damage, that information is given here.
Unless noted otherwise, creatures using natural weapons deal double damage on critical hits.
Manufactured Weapons: Creatures that use swords, bows, spears, and the like follow the same rules as characters do. The bonus for attacks with two-handed weapons is 1-1/2 times the creature's Strength modifier (if it is a bonus), and is given first. Offhand weapons add only 1/2 the Strength bonus and are given second in the parentheses.
This line describes how much space the creature takes up on the battle grid and thereby needs to fight effectively, as well as how close it has to be to threaten an opponent. The number before the slash is the creature's space, or how many feet one side of the creature occupies. The number after the slash is the creature's natural reach. If the creature has exceptional reach due to a weapon, tentacle, or the like, the extended reach and its source are noted in parentheses at the end of the line.
Many creatures have unusual abilities. A monster entry breaks these abilities into special attacks and special qualities. The latter category includes defenses, vulnerabilities, and other special abilities that are not modes of attack. A special ability is either extraordinary (Ex), spell-like (Sp), or supernatural (Su). Additional information (when needed) is provided in the creature's descriptive text.
When a special ability allows a saving throw, the kind of save and the save DC is noted in the descriptive text. Most saving throws against special abilities have DCs calculated as follows: 10 + 1/2 the attacker's racial Hit Dice + the relevant ability modifier.
The save DC is given in the creature's description along with the ability on which the DC is based.
This line gives the creature's Fortitude, Reflex, and Will save modifiers.
This line lists the creature's ability scores, in the customary order: Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha. Except where noted otherwise, each creature is assumed to have the standard array of ability scores before racial adjustments (all 11s and 10s). To determine any creature's racial ability adjustments, subtract 10 from any even-numbered ability score and subtract 11 from any odd-numbered score. (Exceptions are noted in the Combat section of a creature's descriptive text.)
Strength: Quadrupeds can carry heavier loads than bipeds can. Any creature with four or more motive limbs can carry a load as a quadruped, even if it does not necessarily use all the limbs at once.
Intelligence: A creature can speak all the languages mentioned in its description, plus one additional language per point of Intelligence bonus. Any creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher understands at least one language (Common, unless noted otherwise).
Nonabilities: Some creatures lack certain ability scores. These creatures do not have an ability score of 0-they lack the ability altogether. The modifier for a nonability is +0.
This line gives the creature's skills, along with each skill's modifier (including adjustments for ability scores, armor check penalties, and any bonuses from feats or racial traits). All listed skills are class skills, unless the creature has a character class (noted in the entry). A creature's type and Intelligence score determine the number of skill points it has.
The Skills section of the creature's description recaps racial bonuses and other adjustments to skill modifiers for the sake of clarity; these bonuses should not be added to the listed skill modifiers.
An asterisk (*) beside the relevant score and in the Skills section of the descriptive text indicates a conditional adjustment, one that applies only in certain situations.
Natural Tendencies: Some creatures simply aren't made for certain types of physical activity. If it seems clear that a particular creature simply is not made for a particular physical activity, that creature takes a -8 penalty on skill checks that defy its natural tendencies.
In extreme circumstances the creature fails the check automatically.
The line gives the creature's feats. A monster gains feats just as a character does. Sometimes a creature has one or more bonus feats, marked with a superscript B (B). Creatures often do not have the prerequisites for a bonus feat. If this is so, the creature can still use the feat. If you wish to customize the creature with new feats, you can reassign its other feats, but not its bonus feats. A creature cannot have a feat that is not a bonus feat unless it has the feat's prerequisites.
This line gives a type of climate and terrain where the creature is typically found. This describes a tendency, but is not exclusionary.
This line describes the kinds of groups the creature might form. A range of numbers in parentheses indicates how many combat-ready adults are in each type of group. Many groups also have a number of noncombatants, expressed as a percentage of the fighting population. Noncombatants can include young, the infirm, slaves, or other individuals who are not inclined to fight. If the organization line contains the term 'domesticated,' the creature is generally found only in the company of other creatures, whom it serves in some capacity.
This shows the average level of a party of adventurers for which one creature would make an encounter of moderate difficulty.
This line reflects how much wealth the creature owns. In most cases, a creature keeps valuables in its home or lair and has no treasure with it when it travels. Intelligent creatures that own useful, portable treasure (such as magic items) tend to carry and use these, leaving bulky items at home.
This line gives the alignment that the creature is most likely to have. Every entry includes a qualifier that indicates how broadly that alignment applies to the species as a whole.
The monster entry usually describes only the most commonly encountered version of a creature. The advancement line shows how tough a creature can get, in terms of extra Hit Dice. (This is not an absolute limit, but exceptions are extremely rare.) Often, intelligent creatures advance by gaining a level in a character class instead of just gaining a new Hit Die.
This line is included in the entries of creatures suitable for use as player characters or as cohorts (usually creatures with Intelligence scores of at least 3 and possessing opposable thumbs). Add this number to the creature's total Hit Dice, including class levels, to get the creature's effective character level (ECL). A character's ECL affects the experience the character earns, the amount of experience the character must have before gaining a new level, and the character's starting equipment.

Q: How to create a year spinner in Angular I'm new to Angular. I'm working on an Angular 6 project with a team. But there is a major restriction that I'm not allowed to use any 3rd party library. Not even bootstrap, font-awesome or primeng. A time-selection widget with month-range-picker was required, so I created a custom component from the scratch and it looks good. See:

The entire time selector widget i created from the scratch and on the right hand side there's a month only range picker that I'm talking about. I've achieved this much so far without outsourcing any framework or library but now I've a blocker. Look at the year spinner. It looks pathetic. I want exactly like this. For e.g:

The one that i've circled red. With left right navigator. Most of the solutions are either using jquery or some external libraries. Please help me achieve this with pure HTML, CSS and Angular thing.
I've tried this and many other solutions but as I said, they are using jquery mostly. I've created a minimal stackblitz also. Please help me.

A: Alright guys, thanks for your precious time on this question. In the meanwhile like the entire widget I created this also from the scratch. Here is a screenshot:

To keep the project simple and code clean. I created a new custom year-navigator component altogether.
Here is the code.
yearnavigator.component.html

            

                <pt-label class="current-year">{{year}}</pt-label>

            

yearnavigator.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import './yearnavigator.component.css';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-yearnavigator',
  templateUrl: './yearnavigator.component.html'
})
export class YearnavigatorComponent {

  dt = new Date( );

  year: number=this.dt.getFullYear();

  constructor() { }

  decrementYear() {
    this.year=(this.year)-1;
    console.log("clicked");
  }

  incrementYear() {
    this.year=(this.year)+1;
    console.log("clicked");
  }
}

yearnavigator.component.css
.iconfont {
    font-family: "dls-images" !important;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-style: normal;
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.2px;
    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

.super-div {
    /* background: crimson; */
    width: 327px;
    text-align: center;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

.current-year {
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #2B86B2;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.left-arrow,
.right-arrow {
    color: #2B86B2;
    font-size: 20px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.left-arrow:hover,
.right-arrow:hover {
    cursor: pointer;
}

PS: iconfont is from our own library of icons. You can use any other library. It's just an icon thing.
Please feel free to post a better answer. I know i'm a pathetic coder. :-(

Q: Is markup formatting just for Swift playgrounds? In swift file, I don't see editor _ show rendered markup button.
For example.
//: - Experiment:
//: Modify the `anyCommonElements(_:_:)` function to make a function that returns an array of the elements that any two sequences have in common.
//:

How can I show this in rendered markup mode in swift file?

A: The markup formatting is exclusive for playgrounds and Quick Help. In other words, it's not possible to render the markup in a swift file in your Xcode project, but you can use it to improve the documentation that is displayed in Quick Help. See this, and this for more info.

Update (2021-11-05): Starting on Xcode 13, there's a framework named DocC which brings new features for documentation using markup language.
