With retail store, Microsoft continues quest for fan base
Hiawatha Bray/Boston Globe
Microsoft Corp. is throwing quite a party for the opening of its first Boston retail store, in the Shops at Prudential Center on Boylston Street. Boston Celtics player Paul Pierce will be on hand to greet shoppers Thursday evening, and musician Lenny Kravitz will play at a Saturday afternoon concert.
By contrast, when Apple Inc. opened its store on Boylston Street four years ago, the company did not trot out any sports heroes or rock stars. Yet people lined up days in advance, just for the chance to walk in and buy something.
That's the kind of brand loyalty Microsoft can only dream of. But its slowly expanding retail chain is designed to change this, by giving the company a new image: sleek, stylish, and customer-friendly. It's a bid to earn Apple-like affection from consumers, who sometimes regard Microsoft products with disdain.
The Microsoft store will open at Prudential Center in Boston.
"We're using our stores to build relationships with customers, one customer at a time, putting a new public face on the company that I think for many years we didn't have," said Jonathan Adashek, Microsoft's general manager for strategy and communications.
The new store, which opens for business Thursday, is the 23d since Microsoft launched a retail business in 2009. At 3,600 square feet, the Pru store is much smaller than the Apple store across Boylston. The color scheme runs to wood tones, in contrast with Apple's cool white look. There's no front door; instead, an 80-foot-long set of glass panels folds into the walls.
Microsoft plans a major push to increase sales of its operating system for smartphones, Windows Phone 7, which has sold poorly, despite glowing reviews from technology analysts. The store will run a promotion to prove that Windows Phone performs standard smartphone tasks faster than rival products such as Apple's iPhone. Customers who take the challenge will get a $25 gift card; customers whose phones beat the Windows Phone get a $1,000 gift card.
Apple stores feature the company's own computers, smartphones, and tablets, which all work in a familiar and consistent way. But the Microsoft store sells hardware made by a variety of companies, such as Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co.
Peter Harrington, a regional market manager, said the Pru store will have two employees who will do nothing but run training courses to keep colleagues up to date on the latest products.
So far, Microsoft's retail experiment has delivered promising results: about $1,500 in annual revenue per square foot, about twice as much as the typical specialty retailer, said Jeff Green, president of Jeff Green Partners, a retail consulting firm in Phoenix. Compare that, though, to the typical Apple store: about $6,000 per square foot a year.
Apple's retail success and Microsoft's bid to catch up illustrate how the companies' fortunes have shifted.
In Boston 15 years ago, Apple chief executive Steve Jobs announced a $150 million investment by Microsoft that saved Apple from bankruptcy. Today, Apple has the highest stock market valuation of any company on the planet. Just one product, the iPhone, netted Apple $22.7 billion in the first quarter of this year, compared to Microsoft's total revenue of $17.4 billion.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has suffered through a series of fiascoes: its unpopular Windows Vista operating system, the failed Zune personal music player, and unsuccessful efforts in smartphones and tablet computing.
Its Windows and Office software products remain hugely profitable, but Microsoft's stock value has been stagnant for the past decade. Its market value of $256 billion is less than half of Apple's.
Microsoft has "lost brand identity," said Green, who believes the tech giant could buff its battered image by putting its products in front of customers in attractive stores staffed by courteous, knowledgable workers.
Michael Oh, president and founder of Tech Superpowers, an independent Apple retailer in Boston, said the Microsoft stores are a good way for the company to unveil its most radical new product in years, a tablet computer called Surface that is designed to challenge Apple's iPad. Due for release late this year, Surface will be the first personal computer that Microsoft has manufactured and sold under its own name.
"That is a groundbreaking tablet, not so much in the technology but because of the Microsoft label on it," Oh said. "To me it makes sense for them to open this store, open it now, and get these products in front of consumers."
Still, Oh noted that retail sales will never generate Apple-like profits for Microsoft. Most of the products sold in the stores will be made by other companies that will get much of the revenue.

Here is home to maple trees. Many maple trees. So many maple trees that some people, sometimes, call them weeds. They create canopies over gardens, in parks, and between sidewalks and roads. They are plentiful.
In a kind of parallel format, here is home to breakfasts, brunches, and sometimes even suppers where maple syrup pours over pancakes, waffles, toutons, french toast and other delights. Most times, almost ALL the time, there is no direct relationship between the maple tree in the garden and the maple syrup on the table.
Can these worlds collide? Yes!
Lisa and Steve McBride – the couple who walk the goats in coats – tap. Root Cellars Rock shared their experience a few years back. And now, thanks to the Friends of Pippy Park, the rest of us can learn to tap too!

Prairie View A&M women topple Texas Southern
Kennedy Paul and Bernesha Peters scored 10 points each and Jhyrah Cobb collected eight points, six rebounds and four blocks, lifting the Prairie View A&M women to a 50-47 SWAC home win over Texas Southern, which was without five suspended players.

On Saturday at the Nicks Building, Ataiya Bridges had a team-high 16 points for the Tigers. Ke'Asia Williams and Dominique Newman had eight rebounds each for the Panthers (8-14, 5-5), who out-rebounded the Tigers 43-27.

This article was originally posted on Guns.com
Viridian Weapon Technologies arms the Springfield Armory 911 with a grip laser pre-installed on the new .380 ACP handgun.
The laser sight is sold on select models of 911s in both green or red laser models. The Grip Laser achieves automatic activation when the user grips the gun, allowing for rapid target acquisition. Viridian says the laser is "highly visible" with constant on and pulse modes, while the grip itself features Springfield Armory's own Mod.2 texture.
The Grip Laser is designed to compliment the Springfield 911 — a .380 ACP pistol measuring 5.5-inches long. The pistol sports a snag-free profile that the gun maker states puts it in concealed carry or back-up pistol territory. Outfitted with an ambidextrous safety, the 911 uses a hard-coat aluminum construction paired with either a brushed-satin, matte-finish stainless steel or black Nitride slide.
"We're thrilled to partner with Springfield yet again and give customers a highly advanced grip laser sighting solution—the first in Viridian's history," Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen said in a statement. "By installing a grip laser onto the pistol, we're putting an added level of reliability and life-saving power in our customers' hands."
Both laser grips are available now with a MSRP of $789.

The State Evaluators were brought on by the Department of Health and Welfare to capture the perspectives and reactions of the population encompassed by the SHIP. They evaluated activities and supported quality improvements. At the center of their evaluation they documented the patient's experience and perspectives. Clinical and administrative staff who work in PCMH's were interviewed about the implementation of their PCMH. Broad system- level descriptive information on the SHIP implementation was obtained from stakeholders, IDHW, commercial insurers, Medicaid administrators, and SHIP contractors. Methods used included surveys, interviews, and secondary data analysis.
University of Idaho (UI) and Boise State University (BSU) together formulate the State Evaluation team for the SHIP.
Clinics: Patient participation satisfies NCQA 2014 PCMH Standard 6, Element C, Factor 4 and the annual evaluation reports will be shared with all participating clinics. Additionally, WWAMI and the State Evaluation team are coordinating administrative and curriculum resources to develop Continuing Education Units (CEUs) opportunities for SHIP clinics on value-based healthcare.
There is also potential NCQA April 2017 Quality Improvement Competency A 04 (core) satisfaction. "…monitors patient experience through qualitative methods"
Patients: Patients will be reimbursed for their time and travel.
This study has been reviewed by the University of Idaho Institutional Review Board (IRB) as the IRB of record. All information will be confidential and will not be shared with others outside of the project. There are no known risks for participation. Voluntary consent for patient participation requires a signature; other roles require an email response.
Please contact University of Idaho's IRB at email@example.com or 208-885-6340 with questions about rights as a research participant.

Deflecting Draft Demagoguery
October 7, 2004 By
The House Republican leadership decisively quashed a shameful Democratic whisper campaign Tuesday night, voting en masse against a bill that would reinstate the draft. Hoping to put this rumor to rest, House Republicans shot down H.R. 163 by a vote of 402-2. A pair of "liberal" Democrats cast the two affirmative votes. For months, the fever swamps of the Left have claimed President Bush stood … [Read more...]

Having made fifteens, I find myself with half a can of condensed milk sitting in the fridge. What to do, what to do?! While eating the remainder with a spoon would always be an option (a rather sticky, type 2 diabetes-inducing option), I decided to look for a different traybake recipe to make instead.
I found a couple of very similar recipes for lemon squares/bars/slices and amalgamated these to make some very quick and easy Iced Lemon Squares. As a result of combining a few recipes, the coconut is optional and you could alternatively make these with orange in place of the lemon.
7oz/200g Marie biscuits (in the US, I used Goya Maria cookies)
4oz/110g butter
1 lemon, rind and juice
3oz/85g coconut
half a tin of condensed milk (approximately 7oz/200g)
8oz/225g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- Crush the biscuits, using whatever method you desire. Add the coconut and the grated rind of the lemon.
- Place the butter and condensed milk in a small saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Add to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Place in a greased tin and leave to set. This took 1-2 hours in the fridge for me. I used a 9″/23cm square pan that I normally use for brownies.
- When the base has set, cover with lemon icing (using lemon juice in place of water). I used approximately 3 tbsp of lemon juice, blended with 225g of icing sugar to make a thick paste.

Inspiring Ideas To Make Your Bathroom Look Incredible
When it comes to your bathroom, it can understandably feel like quite an expensive space to renovate.
Your bathroom, much like your kitchen, is one of the most well-used rooms in your home. So, as you can imagine, you might want to make the space an inviting and inspiring place to be; even if it is supposed to be a functional space. We wanted to share with you some of the inspiring ideas you could consider.
Decide on what you want to use your bathroom for
While the bathroom is designed to be a functional space, it is also a room in your home to feel that can be sued for other things, often that might include relaxation. So deciding what you want from your bathroom could be the key motivation to helping your renovate and redecorate it. It can help with colour choices, with style and the things you want in there, such as a bath or shower, both or separate, for example.
Consider different ways to renovate your bathroom
Now that you have made your bathroom a focus, now is the time to work out the budget, and how far you can go with your plans. Doing a full refit and renovation may require you to consider buying a completely new bathroom suite and hiring professionals to install it for you, to avoid any leaking pipes or issues in the future. However, on a budget, you may consider replacing only a few things, such as the bath or a new basin.
Jazz up the space and create talking points
Your bathroom is one of the most used rooms in your home, and so style may still be a big motivator for you and source of inspiration. This is when creating talking points and being creative in this small space can really give your bathroom the wow factor. Things like unusual accessories like Pipe Fitting Furniture where pipes can give that upcycled feeling could be great additions to your bathroom in terms of the style and look. Maybe adding a theme in terms of what you have on display could be an idea. Displaying pictures of holiday scenes or splashing in the sea could also be a great addition. It is good to seek out different ways you can style up what can be seen as a boring space.
Change the colour scheme
The colour scheme may be important to you. It could be a great way to add colour to a blank canvas, or o might be an easy way for you to change the look of your bathroom without needing to invest heavily in a new bathroom suite. Colour can be added on the walls, through tiles or the things you have on display.
Create a zen like space to relax in
Finally, many people like to relax in their bathroom, especially after a hard day at their desk. Things like house plants, flaming colours and scents can help you do that, creating that spa feeling in your own home.
We hope these idea have you inspired to help make your bathroom look incredible.

Are you ready to journey back to another dimension? A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind? Well, good news. Production is officially under way on CBS' revival of the classic mind-bending series, The Twilight Zone. As previously announced Get Out writer-director and former Key and Peele co-star Jordan Peele is set to host and narrate the new incarnation of The Twilight Zone, taking over the role originated by creator Rod Serling.
Production on the new series officially began on Monday, October 1 in Vancouver, British Colombia with the series set to premiere on CBS All Access next year. CBS announced the start of production today with a new teaser video celebrating the legacy of the original series, which premiered on this day, October 2, 1959. Check out a super cut of the series' most iconic moments in the video below, and if that whets your appetite for more, every episode of the original series is currently available to stream on CBS All Access.
The teaser doesn't have much in the way of teasing anything from the new season — they only started filming yesterday after all — but we do get a glimpse at a very retro-looking diner and an episode slate, which gives us our first director reveal for the series: Burning Sands and The First Purge helmer Gerard McMurray will direct the mystery episode with Genius and Wayward Pines DP Mathias Herndl shooting.

With the industry having had several touch and go years since building work ground to a halt off the back of the credit crunch and property prices falling, I am glad to report that in Exmouth, Exeter and East Devon it would appear we are turning a corner. I have never been so busy and when I speak to builders, planning officers, building control officers and engineers - everyone seems to be at full capacity. This is great news and I hope that it is sustained. If you wish to undertake a project on your property this does mean that advanced planning is necessary...
So here we are, another year to look forward to, perhaps the year to start your long awaited and much planned extension? This time of year is a good time to get things started if you wish to get the building work done this year during the summer months. If you add up the time from initial survey, to schemes, planning application, building regulations, structural engineers and then going with this information to a builder for pricing and finally instructing them - now is definitely the time to get started. Who knows, with the extra room you'll have, we can all spend Christmas 2013 at yours in luxury!
Great news this week with permission being granted by East Devon District Council for a replacement dwelling in the countryside. The proposed house has really embraced the latest technology in a traditional design, addressing the site orientation and constraints to provide a fantastic scheme that will provide the applicants with a low running cost home for life, fit for the 21st Century. The applicants are keen to acheive passive house standards of insulation, air leakage and limiting cold bridging which relies on thorough detailing and correct execution on site. I look forward to this house progressing to completion.
"Fantastic work, thank you. You made the application seem a doddle!"
"Clear detailed plans from start to finish, extension looks superb, Thank you"
"Thank you so much for your hard work, support and perseverance! We really do appreciate your determination and professionalism which has, in no doubt, ensured the success of the planning application."
"I honestly thought we would have more trouble in planning, but nothing, thank you very much, it looks great!"
"Despite an uphill struggle with the planners, we persevered and have a fantastic home to show for it, thanks for all your help"

Mangaluru, Sep 18, 2017: An 8-ft-long python was found entangled in bushes at Malpe as prominent beaches from Karwar to Mangaluru were cleaned on Saturday to mark International Coastal Clean-up co-ordinated by the Indian Coast Guard.
The python was saved and safely sent back to its natural habitat, according to the Coast Guard.
Volunteers representing different organisations, educational institutes, and government departments cleaned Panambur, Tannirbhavi, Surathkal, Malpe and Rabindranath Tagore beach in Karwar.
According to the Coast Guard, 5,000 persons took part in the drive from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The volunteers removed waste and non-biodegradable materials littered at beaches. A Coast Guard spokesperson here said: "The drive has created awareness among people and hope they continue to come forward to keep the coastal environment clean in the years to come.'' Deputy Inspector-General S.S. Dasila, Commander, Coast Guard Karnataka, said the Coast Guard has planted over 1,000 saplings on its premises in Panambur.

Marketing Your Consulting Business
Too many independent consultants don't promote their business because they don't think they have the time or believe that their work should speak for itself. Whatever the reason, forgoing marketing and advertising as a part of your larger business plan is like leaving opportunities, and ultimately money, on the table. Promoting your business is worth the time commitment, and if you have the budget, it's worth the investment. Here are a few tactics to consider:
Get Smart About Social Media. Before you set up social media channels, think about where your audience exists online. Are you in the photography or film production industries? Professionals in visual fields such as these tend to flock to Instagram. Are you a change management consultant? The executives that you're looking to connect with are likely spending the most time on LinkedIn. Invest your time wisely by picking two or three networks that are most relevant, rather than casting a wide net.
If you have room in your budget, advertising on social media can give your brand some extra visibility. All social platforms allow advertisers to target based on location, so you can narrow your audience, if needed. LinkedIn even has the capability to target ads based on job title and company.
Offer (Just A Little) Free Advice. One of the best ways to reach new audiences is to demonstrate your expertise by contributing an article to a business publication. Some of the big media names in business media, like Inc. and Entrepreneur, accept contributions on an ongoing basis. Look into trade publications if you're trying to reach a niche audience.
Speak Up. When looking for networking opportunities, think outside of the industry events you already know of - big conferences that showcase innovation across industries (like SXSW and Fast Company's Innovation Festival) give you the chance to learn something new, while networking with a diverse array of prospects. Networking can be daunting, so make sure that you have your elevator pitch practiced for quick conversations.
Go Old School. Don't discount traditional advertising methods. Print ads are low-cost and easy to make, and they can be displayed at your local coffee shop, gym or wherever potential clients might be. If you're a freelance graphic designer, this is a good way to show your creative chops.
Stay True to Your Brand No Matter What. Your business persona is your brand. To stand out among your competition, the way you represent yourself should be unique. Establish a visual identity and a voice, and make sure it's consistent across all communication channels, including your website copy, social media posts and any blogs or bylines published in print or online.
Aim High, But Be Realistic. Whether you are ramping up your marketing efforts or just getting started, setting realistic goals is key to achieving your desired KPIs. There are so many facets of marketing, but as a busy professional, you'll need to be selective with the time and money you invest. For example, you might set a goal of attending two conferences a year or writing one piece of contributed content a quarter if your goal is to begin building brand awareness.
Smart, strategic marketing that aligns with your brand and has a clear objective will qualify new leads that if cultivated, will result in new business. When new clients sign on, you'll be glad you made the time.

Hi Rajesh.
You are right. Those people who love steam engines come to visit all around the world this park and Railway museum in Hyvinkää also. Two years ago when I was visiting there there was a group from Germany. This time Steam Engine Museum was just opened after winter.
Have a nice day.

There are certainly a wide variety of steam engines in this park, and you did a wonderful job of capturing them.

Hi George.
I think that to maintain these steam engines which are part of our recent history, are better that if they were sold to iron junk collectors.
The problem is who shall maintain them in good condition and here the former Olympic Medalist solved this problem by establishing this cool Steam Engine Park of his own.
Thank You for Your comment.

Don't miss the important lessons he shares about what the Scriptures really teach about God's vision for His Church!
Pastor and speaker Francis Chan has written numerous bestselling books including Crazy Love, Forgotten God, Erasing Hell, Multiply, and You and Me Forever. In addition to founding Cornerstone Church, where he pastored for 16 years, Francis helped launch Radius International, which equips cross-cultural church planters with skills necessary to plant healthy, viable, reproducing churches. He recently started Project Bayview discipleship homes for men and women coming out of addiction or incarceration. He is currently a pastor of We Are Church which is planting churches in Northern California. Francis and Lisa, his wife of 25 years, have seven children and one beautiful granddaughter.
Chris Brooks is the Senior Pastor of Woodside Bible Church, a multisite congregation across the metro-Detroit area.

As the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising nears, the city voted Tuesday to landmark six sites based on their contributions to the gay rights movement.
The decision grants landmark status to the James Baldwin Residence on the Upper West Side; the Audre Lorde Residence on Staten Island; the Gay Activists Alliance Firehouse in SoHo; the Women's Liberation Center in Chelsea; and the Caffe Cino and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, both in the West Village.
"I am very proud of these designations, which recognize that despite the obstacles they faced, the LGBT community has thrived in New York City," Landmarks Preservation Commission Chair Sarah Carroll said in a statement.
"These six new individual landmarks build on our designation of the Stonewall Inn," she continued, "by recognizing some of the foundational locations for LGBT activism in the second half of the 20th century, important groups who fought for equality and provided support and acclaimed African-American authors and activists whose published works have been inspirational to many people and whose legacy resonates today."
The sites join the Stonewall Inn, which was awarded landmark status in 2015 and marked the first time that a building had been designated primarily based on its significance in LGBTQ+ history, rather than its architectural import.
"New York City played such an important role in moving the LGBTQ civil rights movement forward and we owe it to those who fought in this movement to ensure that their legacy lives on," City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said. "These sites memorialize the diversity and intersectionality of the LGBTQ rights movement and will make excellent additions to the city's amazing list of landmarks."
The landmark designation vote comes shortly after an announcement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo, stating that the James Baldwin residence on West 71st Street was nominated, along with 17 other sites, for inclusion on the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
"These historic locations highlight so much of what it is exceptional and exciting about New York's history and honor the legacy of some of the state's most distinguished leaders," Cuomo said in a statement.
The Baldwin residence, home of the author from 1965 to 1987, and the five other buildings included in Tuesday's decision are among the places highlighted in the New York City LGBT Historic Sites Project's bid to document and recognize sites that helped foster the queer and trans community across the five boroughs.
"Today's six unanimous votes by the Landmarks Preservation Commission is an important acknowledgement of the significant contributions of LGBT New Yorkers to our City's — and our Nation's — cultural history," Ken Lustbader, co-director of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project, told ALL ARTS. "Designation as Individual Landmarks, by virtue of the cultural significance of the people and organizations associated with each site, will be a point of pride for the LGBT community here in New York and beyond."

The non-profit's work adds to advocacy done by Village Preservation, which campaigned for the newly landmarked LGBT Community Services Center and the former Gay Activists Alliance Firehouse.
"In a city as diverse and progressive as New York, it's hard to believe that until 2015 we had no landmarks reflecting LGBT history, and up until now only had one — the Stonewall Inn," Village Preservation Executive Director Andrew Berman said in a statement. "All the threads of the rich tapestry of our city's history deserve to be recognized and preserved. On the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, which also occurred in Greenwich Village, we should be reflecting back upon that history of progress and honoring the people and places which made it possible."

I am not boasting with this title, as this is the actual name of the plant about which I write. In 1998 we refurbished our front garden after building a garage, changing the plain concrete driveway and path to coloured pressed concrete.
We planted this beautiful little specimen, Greenstead Magnificent, which is a standard plant. The top is grafted on a sturdy base to create a weeping effect.
Little did we know how large it would grow. Fourteen years later I have to constantly prune it so that it doesn't grow over the path. And it's not something you can ruthlessly cut back because I would then be left with bare branches. Then because I prune it, it has encouraged higher growth, which is a little disappointing for the overall effect.
Sometimes I wish that you could freeze a plant in time at the size and shape that you liked best, but that is not to be. I still love the grey-green foliage it produces, also providing some privacy for the front porch.

For a person who is considering making the leap from nonstick cookware to stainless steel, what "how to" tips would you share for cooking and cleaning? I've heard that its best to heat the SS cookware first, cool it for a bit, add room temp oil, then cook. For clean up, I've heard that you must buy a brillo pad made for SS, and scrub the bottom to keep the "brown" off......any other ideas/thoughts? Seems like a lot of work. Is it worth it?

text: Trek at Kalinchok – along a ridge all the way to Tibet! by Hans Andersen September 10, 2015May 25, 2018 written by Hans Andersen September 10, 2015May 25, 2018 On the ridge above the clouds: towards TibetAbove the guesthouse at Kalinchok – next to the temple on the mountain ridge a one hour hike up – runs an old trade route. It's been used for centuries by merchants between Nepal and Tibet. Just a narrow trail, it zig-zags along the ridge all the way into the mountains of the northern neighbor. Steep slopes on the southern side; seemingly endless pinewood on the northern side; as well as deer, eagles and the Nepalese pheasant – those are among the ingredients making this trek breathtaking. Few hike the trail, so you'll likely have it alone, save the random local on the way between villages. The mountain view on a clear day is among the best. Want to try it?

You don't currently have any items in your wishlist.
Quantity: {{item.quantity}} (edit)
Planning an office isn't simply a matter of choosing a few desks and chairs and positioning them around your premises. There are lots of issues you'll need to think about if you're to achieve the best results.
Indeed, if you lack the experience or simply don't have the time to set about projects like this yourself, it may be wise to bring in the experts. Here at Calibre we offer a full design and planning service, as well as selling an impressive selection of office furniture items.
As well as focussing on seating and desks, storage should be high on your list of priorities. Without the right shelves, lockers, cabinets and other items, your working space could quickly descend into chaos.
Luckily, there are lots of superb storage products on the market for you to choose from.
It's impossible to completely remove the risk of slips and trips occurring within working areas, but it's important that you do your best to reduce any dangers. One big problem these days is cables. From PCs and laptops to printers and phones, many items within modern offices rely on cables of one sort or another. Unless you're careful, your office could quickly turn into an obstacle course, with workers having to step over multiple hard-to-see wires.
This is where cable management products come into their own. For example, you can invest in special cable spines that channel power, data and communications cables to and from devices.
Employee morale is another major issue. After all, happy employees tend to be more productive. This means there is a strong business case for adding a little cheer to working environments.
One simple and yet effective approach is to introduce some greenery. In addition to our contemporary office furniture, we sell a variety of planters and silk plants. These colourful items look fabulous and they are maintenance-free. You won't have to worry about watering them. Instead, you can simply admire them.
Another issue you might want to think about is clutter. No matter how well furnished and equipped offices are, they don't look good if they are full of clutter. With this in mind, it's important to invest in suitable bins and recycling units for your working space so that your staff members don't end up with piles of junk on their desks.
On a similar theme, providing your personnel with coat stands can help to ensure your office keeps a tidy, chic appearance.
Another issue you can't afford to neglect is lighting. All too often, lights are seen as an afterthought when people are planning offices, but in fact these products can have a massive impact on the overall look and feel of spaces.
There are lots of lights to choose from, including halogen lamps and LEDs. As well as opting for practical solutions for your working space, it's a good idea to consider how you can use lighting to complement your interior design and modern office furniture.

When the sun sets over the Golden Range, the distant sky can take on the most brilliant shades of color.
Bright pink, pale orange, soft red … always captivating.
The same could be said for rosè wines produced in Lodi. Their colors can resemble a spectacular California sunset, with flavors that are just as beautiful.
The palate and flavor sensation that is Lodi rosè can be attributed to the numerous varieties of wine grapes that go into each of them, a selection as diverse as any wine region in the world.
To celebrate, several Lodi wineries will showcase their blush wines during the month of May and offer special tastings over Mother's Day Weekend. And why not? Lodi rosè is perfect with Mother's Day brunch or a color-packed spring sunset.
There are numerous blends and single-variety rosès from Lodi. Generally, they are noted for possessing fruit-driven aromas and flavors and are dry with palate-refreshing acidity in balance with the fruit. Many Lodi rosès resemble the dry and light styles from Provence, France, where Rhone wine grapes dominate.
As a category, rosè has grown in popularity. Sales of blush wines climbed 56 percent by volume to $258 million last year, according to Nielsen. Rosè accounts for just 1.5 percent of the U.S. table wine market, but the category's recent growth can't be ignored.
"It's really versatile," said Dave Dart, owner and winemaker of D'art Winery in Lodi, which makes rosès from Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera. "It's like if somebody is not a big wine drinker, it either has to be sweet or a rosè."
Rosè can be still or sparkling wine, dry or sweet. Rosès are made from red-skinned wine grapes and achieve their depth of color depending on the amount of time the skins remain in contact with the juice before the must is pressed and fermented.
In Lodi, rosès are made from Rhone grapes, such as Grenache, Syrah and Mourvédre, and many other varieties that grow successfully thanks to the region's Mediterranean climate and fertile soils. Other French varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Cinsault; Italian grapes, like Sangiovese and Barbera; Spanish varieties, including Garnacha and Tempranillo; and California's heritage grape, Zinfandel, are just some of the varieties farmed in Lodi that area vintners turn into spectacular rosès.
Lodi makes rosé from wine grapes that might be unfamiliar to most. For instance, Intercoastal Vineyards offers a unique rosè made from Pinotage grown on the Mettler Family Vineyards' property on Harney Lane east of Highway 99. Pinotage is a crossing between Pinot noir and Cinsault and has become South Africa's signature variety. Michael David Winery, Onesta, Estate Crush and Uvaggio all make rosè from Cinsault, a wine grape rarely found in the U.S. from the Bechthold Vineyard, planted in 1886, on Lodi's west side.
"I think it's interesting how so many of our Lodi rosès are so unique and so different," said Cassandra Durst, owner and winemaker at Durst Winery in Acampo, whose rosè is made from Grenache. "Ours is made very much in the style of Provence. We tried very hard to create something that was unique, not only in its flavor profile but also in the whole nuance of our rosè. It's very much the color of a French Grenache rosè."
There are plenty of Lodi rosès to try and spring is the perfect time.
LangeTwins Family Winery and Vineyards in Acampo is pairing its rosè of Sangiovese with white-chocolate-covered strawberries on Mother's Day Weekend. Acquiesce Winery in Acampo has re-opened its tasting room after its annual winter hiatus and is offering wine club incentives and discounts on wine, including its rosè of Grenache, on Mother's Day Weekend. PRIE Winery in Lodi is launching its first rosè of Grenache on Mother's Day.
Jeremy Wine Co. has a sparkling and a still rosè of Grenache, and Oak Farm Vineyards and McCay Cellars offer Grenache rosé, as well. Bokisch Vineyards' Rosado and Riaza Winery's Irreverent are made from Garnacha, the Spanish equivalent of the French Grenache.
Scotto Cellars makes a rosè of Sangiovese, Van Ruiten and Macchia have proprietary blends, Harney Lane's rosè is a blend of estate Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Tempranillo, Klinker Brick's rosèis a Rhone-style blend of Grenache, Carignane, Syrah and Mourvédre, m2's is made from Carignane, Markus Wine Co.'s is a blend of Syrah and Carignane and the list goes on and on.
If the play is rosè, consider visiting Lodi wineries and experience the variety yourself.

F'in'g explains discontinuity of ethics and its intersubjectivity.
Ethics is a function of frequency (ν) and spacetime (st). What is ethical on a level of gene is not ethical on the level of cell or human being. What is ethical for humanity (ν= 7billion) in next 10 years is not ethical for humanity on a scale of 100.000years.
Ethics is integral part of quantum (physical) world as much as memes share evolution with genes.
Morality (in contrast to ethics) resides in the domain of newtonian, analogue physics.
Morality is like an electron that is being measured. We do not know what ethics is, because it is discontinued. It is discontinued until we measure it – but in that moment it becomes morality.
We can not establish both functions of ethics in the same moment: better that we establish (ν) less we know about (st); and vice versa. Ethics is in a domain of Heisenberg uncertainty principle that is valid for extremely small or extremely large entities. Morality is measured set of values that safely resides in the realm of human size (ν) and human size (st).
Buddhism is ethics and not morality. It is not explained in newtonian (continual) terms. Buddhism resides in the realm of phase transition between universes. It can be »explained« as a story from the standpoint of an entanglement in physics. Entanglement in spacetime is in fact scientifically explained reincarnation.

Vinci X 70w Pod Kit6 min read
Time for another new release from Voopoo and hot on the tails of the popular Vinci & Vinci R mods comes the Vinci X. Voopoo are one of the companies that I look forward to recieving their new releases. For me their products stand the test of time and I have yet to find an unreliable or poor quality product. These days it is tough to find a mainstream company that has not squandered its quality in favour of cheap materials and lack of quality control. I have not found this to be the case with Voopoo.
In this article I will be letting you know my thoughts on this latest release the Vinci X 70w Pod Kit.
Vinci X Specs and Overview
The Vinci X is the next in the Vinci series, following on from the Vinci and Vinci R mods. I loved the original Vinci mod and to receive the X from Voopoo surely can only bring better things. Some of the techy specs are below.

I received the Vinci X in the INK style which I love, it is, in fact, available on release in 7 stylish designs to suit everyone's taste. As with all Voopoo products, the Vinci X comes well packaged in a sturdy hard box. The contents are securely packaged inside.
A Closer Look at the Vinci X Mod
I could not wait to get this out of the packaging and filled with juice! Immediately you can see that the Vinci X is noticibly bigger than the original Vinci and whilst keeping the look very similar there are some slight differences.
The Pod
Starting with the pod itself up top. You have a long wide mouthpiece, which is the same as the original Vinci. In fact the pods themselves are interchangable between each of the Vinci models currently on the market. Below the mouthpeice is the liquid chamber itself. On my review model the capacity is a nice, convenient 5.5ml. In the UK and EU the TPD dictates that you shall recieve a 2ml tank. It will be interesting to see how this size is limited, whether it be by a rubber insert that can be removed ( Doubtful as you cannot get into the pod, larger coil ( Doubtful again! ) or by a physically smaller pod ( Most likely!) But you will be able to purchase spare pods in either size online quite easily. The chamber itself is nice and clear, giving an all round view of the remaining liquid in the pod.
Below the chamber you have the coil hole and juice filling hole. The juice hole is sealed by a rubber bung, which I have to admit is a little tricky to get a grip on if you have no nails like me! But it does the job well of sealing. The bottem of the pod is also shaped with cut out areas to aid airflow. This is where there is definate innovation in this pod system. With the pod inserted into the Vinci X, with the bung facing towards you, you get a DTL airflow system. Insert it with the bung facing away and you get a DTL style airflow which is a little more restricted. This happens thanks to the way the air is directed to the coil via the cut outs and shape of the base of the pod. The pod fits and stays secured in the mod by means of 4 very strong magnets
The Vinci X
On to the Vinci itself and I will outline any differences to the original Vinci also. At the top is where the pod is inserted, in this section there are 4 metal discs that attract the pod. The pod almost leaps from your fingers to this area with a nice click and the pod is very secure, no amount of shaking was able to cause the pod to drop out and it remained secure in my pocket all day long. Contact to the coil is via 2 gold pins ( there are 3 on the Vinci ) I am unsure why there is 1 less since the original vinci pods still work perfectly.
On the front of the Vinci X you have a circular fire button up top, followed by the 0.96 inch screen. The screen is bright and contains all the relevent vaping information you will need. Below the screen are the up down adjustment buttons. A combination of the + and fire locks the device and holding + & – together opens up the 2 week puff record. Under this is the USB charge point and firmware update port. On the Vinci it was original underneath the mod.
On the base of the Vinci X is the battery section. Your 18650 is inserted by unscrewing part of the base. The threading is smooth and well machine. The battery chamber has a plastic insert to aid battery protection. The base has vent holes incorporated into it.
Both sides of the Vinci X have the colour panels on and at the top of the sides are the airflow holes which link to the area on the pod relating to airflow.
Internally the Vinci X contains the ever reliable Gene chip that I have come to expect in most releases now. Along with that there are the following safety features.
Overtime Protection
Intelligent overtime protection will avoid atomizer's coil and cotton being burned.
Short-circuit Protection
When the short-circuit is detected, the mod will protect the battery by preventing the circuit from returning.
Overcharge Protection
With dedicated lithium battery protection components, the battery will be protected against battery overcharge and damage.
Max Power Protection
Intelligently match power, and it is not allowed to adjust the power above the highest limit, to prevent coils from being burned out.
Output Over-current Protection
Intelligently detect output current, and close the output current when the current exceeds the highest limit.
Over Discharge Protection
With dedicated lithium battery protection components, the battery will be protected against battery discharge and harm.
Over-temperature Protection
TC mode assures the mod and battery work properly within safe temperature range.
Battery Reverse Protection
With battery reverse protection, the mod will be protected from breakdown.
In use and pros & cons
The Vinci X is a joy to use. I have found the vape experience to be enjoyable and the included coils give a satisfying vape. Using the 0.3 with standard liquids, it managed up to 100vg with ease. I should point out that even with the 0.3ohm coil the maximum wattage is only up to 40w. Protection kicks in preventing usage over this point. To achieve the full 70w you would need to use the RBA coil ( Available seperately) But for me 40w was nice and allowed a full day use on a single 18650 battery. Each pod, or coil that you insert is rated for a specific wattage value. The Vinci X will adjust to the recommended wattage. In the case of the 0.3ohm coil this is 35w. A minor annoyance on the original Vinci is that it would reset to the recommended wattage after a while of non use. Thankfully that is not the case with the Vinci X. The mouthpeice, while a slightly different shape is one that we are seeing more of since the release of pod systems. It fits in the mouth well and gives a nice draw.
Being able to adjust airflow without a control ring or completely removing the pod and adjusting something internally is a big plus. A simple 180 degree flip is all that is needed.
Powering the mod purely by the fire button alone is a big postive for me. The original Vinci never quite allowed a consistantly satisfying vape, it worked well but a physical fire button method works better ( of course this is just my opinion.
Pretty much everything about the Vinci X I have really liked. The size and design is spot on, it feels great in the hand. The pods and coils work well, leakfree and taste is very good. Placement of the USB has been improved and the addition of using an external battery is a big pro.
There is only one! The rubber bung on the pod…. its too fiddly! but does such a great job of sealing its just a little tough to get it open.
Thanks for stopping by to read. To purchase visit NewVaping, my preferred supplier.
