Television personality and golf fanatic Vernon Kay is teaming up with the European Tour to co-host the innovative new GolfSixes tournament in St Albans next month.
The All Star Family Fortunes presenter will introduce proceedings from the first tee as the revolutionary new short form of golf gets under way at the Centurion Club, in Hemel Hempstead Road, on Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7.
He will be interacting with players and celebrity guests as he presents the action live across the weekend from the Hertfordshire club.
Vernon Kay said: "I'm a huge golf fan, and avid participant, so I'm excited to be involved in the first ever GolfSixes event.
"I love the traditional format of golf – and I'm always trying to bring the handicap down – but this event is fresh and energetic, and I hope we will be able to entertain existing fans as well as attracting new people to the sport, whether they come along and interact with us over the weekend, or watch from home.
"There will be a lot of action going on around the course, with players and celebrity guests getting involved, and I'm looking forward to being at the heart of it all."
Kay, who is best known for hosting entertainment shows including Beat the Star, The Whole 19 Yards and All Star Family Fortunes, will bring his passion and enthusiasm for golf to the event as he introduces GolfSixes to fans at the venue and watching from home on Sky Sports.
To kick-start a thrilling weekend of golf, celebrities will pair up with GolfSixes professionals to take on the six-hole circuit in the Pro-Am on Friday, May 5.
Kay will be joined by Hertfordshire footballer-turned-actor Vinnie Jones, horse racing legend Sir AP McCoy, former England cricketer Darren Gough, and former England and Scotland rugby players Mike Tindall MBE and Rory Lawson.
Some of those stars will also join former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen and actress, singer and presenter Denise van Outen as celebrity commentators throughout the fun, family-orientated festival of golf at the course to the west of St Albans on the A4147.
The GolfSixes field will include Ryder Cup stars Chris Wood and Andy Sullivan flying the flag for England.
As well as amphitheatre-style stands, music and pyrotechnics, spectators can enjoy the action in the fan zone, including player Q&A sessions, American Golf activity, event merchandise, and food options reflecting the various competing nations.
In the build-up and throughout the event, European Tour digital platforms will deliver an "access all areas" fan experience.
During the event Facebook Live and Twitter Live will be used to stream in-round interviews, Q&As with players, and country and team overviews.
The interactive at-event fan experience will feature polls and live social media content on the big screens.
In addition the live broadcast on Sky Sports and the European Tour's world feed network will focus on bringing fans closer to the action through greater player interaction and unique camera angles.

A. Lange & Söhne is showing its feminine side with the introduction of an all-white 35mm Saxonia.
The German watchmaker describes the Saxonia line as a union of minimalistic design with mechanical fascination.
The use of a white strap, a white gold case (rose gold is also available) and a pale mother of pearl dial take minimalism even further.
The white dial is made from solid silver is covered with a very thin layer of mother of pearl.
Slender hands and baton-style hour markers in solid gold underscore the elegant design complemented with a white alligator leather strap.
The watch houses a Lange manufactured manually wound calibre L941.1 with 45 hours of power.

Trust the voters?
Posted by metaphorical on 28 December 2006
John Edwards is announcing his presidential candidacy today. The
does a good job of giving the key facts right in the headline:
"Edwards's Theme: U.S. Poverty – Amid Iraq Talk, White House Hopeful Sticks to '04 Issue in '08 Run."
For the roughly two dozen candidates considering a run for the White House, it is perhaps the jackpot question: What might be the winning message in a contest whose first nominating vote is still more than a year away?
Today, former Sen. John Edwards begins testing his hunch that Americans, though focused now on the war in Iraq, can be won over to a campaign built on what he calls "the great moral issue of our time"—fighting poverty at home. He plans to do so with an unorthodox announcement of his candidacy, not standing on a flag-draped stage, but volunteering his labor in New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward, which is still struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina.
Edwards' challenge is getting people interested in economic issues in the Iraq Era.
To judge from a letter he sent to his 700,000-name mailing list yesterday, Edwards is going to talk about Katrina, the minimum wage, the high cost of college, and the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots. That kind of language is going to sound like it's from another era—because it is.
Still, Edwards is determined to talk that talk, and moreover, to walk the walk. His candidacy will be announced in New Orleans, where he is spending the week rebuilding housing with a small army of college students he has marshalled for their Christmas Break (he did the same thing last Easter, when he wasn't making any major political announcements). From the e-mail message:
We worked with thousands of volunteers to raise the minimum wage in six states ˆ and we got it done. We're making the first year of college free for young people in Greene County, North Carolina. And we've been working from the grassroots up to organize workers so they can stand up for their rights and earn a decent living.
There's two parts to this challenge. First, according by all appearances, the 2006 election was all about Iraq. Second, as Karl Rove has been proving for years, the American voting public often doesn't vote its self-interest. In particular, the working class often doesn't vote its economic self-interest. If people won't vote for what's best for themselves, how are you going to motivate them to vote for the need of others?
Edwards isn't going to ignore Iraq. His e-mail listed five points, with the war right at the top:
- Providing moral leadership in the world — starting with Iraq, where we should begin drawing down troops, not escalating the war
- Strengthening our middle class and ending the shame of poverty
- Guaranteeing health care for every single American
- Leading the fight against global warming
- Getting America and the world to break our addiction to oil
The question is, can Americans even hear the language of social change? If something sounds tired, shopworn, or old-fashioned, it just doesn't register. Will Edwards' message register? Can you talk about workers' rights in 2007? Poverty? Hunger?
What you have to like about Edwards is he doesn't care, or at least he's running as if he doesn't care. He's going to run the campaign he wants to, and if America responds favorably, that's great. Perhaps he wouldn't even want to run a country that doesn't care about the things he cares about. That makes a lot of sense to me.
Perhaps if Bob Dole had listened to himself, instead of a horde of second-rate advisors, and let the country see him as the smart, cynical, funny, social moderate/economic conservative he naturally is, he'd have been elected president in 1996. If Al Gore had run as himself instead of making play-it-safe his main strategy, maybe he'd have won enough votes in 2000 that neither the Florida nor the U.S. Supreme Courts would have had any say in the matter.
What a great idea—candidates run as themselves, on diverse platforms with wildly different campaigns, and let the voters decide where they want the future to take them and who should lead them there. Obama seems ready to run the same sort of campaign. How about it, Hillary?

Yeah, because this page out of the Bob Shrum playbook has been so very successful in the last umpteen elections in which it has been tried. More power to him. Unfortunately for him he and his hair dryer will be sitting home watching Hil and Obama duke it out while Liz posts vitriolic rhetoric at Democratic Underground.

[Fort Delaware by Laura M. Lee and Brendan Mackie (Arcadia Publishing, 2010). Softcover, illustrations, bibliography. 128 pages. ISBN:978-0-7385-8590-1 $21.99]
Fort Delaware is known to most Civil War readers as a prisoner of war facility, but it served in a coastal defense capacity from the early republic through the 20th century, obviously going through a sequence of renovations. With the outbreak of Civil War, it was a Third System star-shaped masonry fort with 47 guns, manned by a detachment of the 4th U.S. artillery. When the threat of Confederate naval attack up the Delaware River proved illusory, Fort Delaware's new role became one of POW camp, housing over 30,000 Confederates in total throughout the war years.
Fort Delaware, part of Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series, is co-authored by state park manager and historian Laura M. Lee and Ft. Delaware Society member Brendan Mackie. Their study is not a narrative history, but rather a story told through a variety of captioned images, from sketches, woodcuts, engineer drawings, and maps to the more numerous photographs of persons, buildings, and landscapes. Printed on glossy paper, the quality of the images is good. Most were obtained through the Society, but others are held in other public and private collections. Each chapter has a short introduction and the captions provide enough context to give readers a fine overall understanding of the persons, places, and events surrounding the fort's lengthy existence.
The chapter covering the Civil War years is substantial, with an emphasis on the fort's capacity as a POW camp. Numerous photos of individuals and groups from both sides are included as well as photographic images and artist renderings of the fort itself, the prisoner barracks, and other buildings. This is the second Civil War related title I've read from this series, and both have proved to be worthwhile acquisitions. General readers as well as period photography enthusiasts should find this volume of interest. The aerial photos and detailed engineer sketches and maps should also be of use to students of 19th century brick fortifications.

Do you have a hijacked browser or hijacked computer. You may be able to fix it in a matter of minutes for free. I have found a remarkable free software that will in most instances rid your computer of the malware, scareware or root kit causing the problem. This free software is COMBOFIX. This software does not currently work on Windows 8.1, but it does work on Windows 7 and before. However, I am sure it will not be long before ComboFix will work on Windows 8 as well.
Even though I have a "don't surf the internet policy" at my office, there have been numerous instances over the years where an assistant had to admit that they could not use their computer because it has been hijacked. I used to call my IT person to fix it until he told me to run ComboFix first. I haven't had to call IT for that reason since. To learn more about ComboFix, where you can download it and how to use it CLICK HERE.
I really have not had a need for ComboFix in the past couple of years, however, because I have installed Webroot Secure Anywhere on all of my computers. Webroot Secure Anywhere is a lightweight anti-Virus program (meaning that it does not use much memory and is fast) that is able to stop malware and scareware and rootkits before they ever reach the operating system. Although Webroot does use some major signatures, Webroot uses an intuitive platform that analyzes behaviors of files and creates a profile to determine if it is malware. The result is that it does not have to wait for signatures, it can detect zero day viruses. I have had no hijacks since I began using Webroot. The only problem I have experienced with it is that it will occasionally treat safe programs as malware.
Also, testing out well in antivirus software in 2014 is BITDEFENDER. It also performs the services that Webroot performs, except that it is still mostly driven by signatures. The labs have tested out BitDefender to be the best and they do not test Webroot. The labs are trying to determine how to lab test Webroot as it will not take any action against malware until the file acts maliciously. What this means is that Webroot creates a profile of the infected file until it acts maliciously at which time Webroot will block its attempted activity and roll the settings back.
After using Webroot and analyzing the reports on BitDefender, I have come to the conclusion that a decision on which one to use comes down to this. Both are remarkably great anti-virus protections, and you can't go wrong with either one. However, Webroot is slightly better at blocking malware from reaching your operating system and BitDefender is slightly better at removing malware once it appears on the operating system.

In celebration of Pride Week at the University of Alberta, Jeff Lynch sent in this story about the SIDERITE bulletin board at Lister Hall, the largest residence at the University of Alberta:
I arrived in Edmonton in 1999 to Lister Hall on the U of A campus, ready to "be the person my parents wanted me to be"… an engineer or commerce major who would make the family proud. By 2001, I had changed my major to education with a music minor, had come to terms with the fact that I was gay, and understood I would never have the life my parents had dreamed I would.
When I told them 'the news', I was told to hide it, and to be weary of how because of my 'choice' I would never be employable, not to mention live eternally miserable (I'm paraphrasing, of course). Not living at home, however, allowed me to develop into a strong, confident and proud person, unafraid of the 'consequences' of my 'choices' that my parents had so sternly warned me about.
In the early 2000's, there were a surge of gay rights movements gaining traction, a plethora of gay characters being portrayed on TV and in movies, but more importantly, the sense of community amongst the LGBTQ youth was growing – especially on campus where the younger generation were generally more accepting of differences than society as a whole.
In the dorms, there was an inoccuous glass case in the depths of the underground tunnels connecting the towers together. It was the SIDERITE board; a small window of information adorned with rainbow triangle stickers, and with a meeting time scheduled for one Wednesday each month. Knowing I was gay, but not knowing what to do about it (remember; this was the days of ICQ and grindr was a decade away from existing), I decided I had nothing to lose.
When I showed up to the Wednesday meeting, a few other people there were eager to welcome me into their intimate group. Gradually, as I came more and more comfortable with myself, I changed from a passive, sit-on-the-sidelines person without a community, to a huge LGBTQ advocate on campus. Using that same SIDERITE bulletin board, I would help to change messages of tolerance hidden in a small, dark tunnel, to messages of acceptance and welcoming via campus-wide events (such as The Day of Silence).
I met some of my best friends that I have to this day during those years. Our friendships may have been forged out of necessity, but they lasted because of our shared values of accepting people for who they are coming above all superficial and ignorant views. Challenging peoples' assumptions and educating them is one of the most powerful and difficult acts, but it is worth it in the end.
One of the people who helped me through learning how to enact that change, and who stood beside me when things got tough will be the best man at my wedding this fall… where my parents will proudly walk me down the aisle.

Airtel Builds a Future Ready Network – Doubles Mobile Sites in Just Two Years
Bharti Airtel ("Airtel"), India's largest telecommunications services provider, today said that it doubled its mobile network deployment over the past two years in line with its objective of building a future ready network to lead India's data growth story.
In the last two years (FY 16 and FY 17), Airtel has deployed 180,000 mobile sites across India. This is same as the number of mobile sites deployed by the company in the first 20 years of operations, making it one the largest mobile network rollouts globally.
In November 2015, Airtel launched Project Leap, its nationwide network transformation program to build a future ready network. The Company has committed an investment of Rs 60,000 crores over three years under this program.
Airtel has also doubled its overall transmission capacity and increased the mobile backhaul capacity by eight times to roll out high-speed broadband network with 4G and 3G coverage in all 22 telecom circles. This deployment has been supported by addition of 14,500+ KM of fibre to Airtel's national fibre backbone along with 3666 new fibre POP nodes (highest ever deployed in Airtel network in single year).
Abhay Savargaonkar, Director- Networks, Bharti Airtel said, "Airtel has been at the forefront of India's telecom growth story and this record deployment underlines our commitment to building a world-class network of the future that will serve a digital India. This deployment will leverage our spectrum capacity and is yet another benchmark by Airtel in execution excellence. We are now in a position to ramp up future capacity on this network very quickly, giving us unmatched reach and agility. I want to thank our network partners for their support in this deployment."
Airtel has been rated as the fastest mobile network in India by Ookla –the globally recognised leader in mobile speed tests and also a benchmark for reputed global operators. As per travel app RailYatri, Airtel has offers the widest mobile network coverage on the go.

Top Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle

Top Tips for a Healthy Lifestyle
Following a healthy lifestyle has a number of benefits, both for the body and the mind, including increased energy and concentration levels, improved appearance of the complexion, skin elasticity and muscle tone, a reduction in the risk of health conditions including diabetes, heart disease and cancer, an increased immune system meaning you will be less prone to illness and infections, control of your weight which then reduces the risk of obesity and weight related illnesses and the reduction of stress levels meaning your mental well-being is more relaxed and you are happier in yourself.
To help you follow a healthy lifestyle here are my top tips:
Embrace Healthy Eating
To maintain optimal health and to keep your body in full working order it is important to follow a healthy and balanced diet. The food pyramid (right) gives an idea of the quantities and types of foods you should be eating.
These should form the bulk of your daily diet and include rice, breads, cereals and pasta – choose wholegrain where possible. You should enjoy 5-7 servings daily from this food group.
Fruit and Vegetables
Are best when fresh, eat within a few days of purchase and when cooking try to steam or Blanche to help retain essential nutrients which are often lost during the cooking process. Government guidelines recommend a minimum of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day. Be creative and make the most of seasonal fruit and vegetables – colour is the key!
Meat, Poultry, Seafood & Dairy
Should be enjoyed in small quantities. Although they offer vital vitamins and nutrients and are a good source of protein too much is not good for your health. 2-3 servings a day from this food group is sufficient.
Fats, Oils, Sugar & Salts
Should be eaten sparingly and in small amounts. This section also includes things likes cakes and biscuits.
Top tips for Cooking
- Use the freshest of ingredients available
- Use fresh food and cook from scratch as opposed to ready meals which are packed with salts, sugars and some scary additives
- Try to cut back on fried foods, steam or grill where possible for healthiest cooking
- Trim all visible fat off meats before cooking to reduce your fat intake
- Use an oil spray instead of a glug of oil, you'll be amazed as to how much less oil you will use
Increase Your Fluid Intake
Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day (this can include herbal teas, but excludes tea and coffee as these dehydrate the body). This will assist your body in flushing out toxins and keep your body and skin well hydrated.
Cut Back on Toxins
Have you ever heard the saying your body is a temple'? Well, it's true. Our body is constantly working behind the scenes to keep us functioning and well, but it does need help.
Cutting back, if not cutting out completely, on toxins such as caffeine, alcohol and cigarettes will provide your body will lower heart rates, less physical stress to contend with and ensures we can absorb the required vitamins from our foods.
Exercise Regularly
Whether it's a walk with the dog, an exercise class, swimming or a trip to the gym, try to exercise daily. Guidelines recommend we exercise for 20 minutes a day or have 3 x 60 minute exercise sessions per week. Exercising will increase your energy levels, improve circulatory problems, relax you and tone up your muscles. It can even reduce cellulite – what are you waiting for!
Get Outside
We are all told of the harms of the sunshine, but did you know that your body needs a certain amount of sunshine to produce Vitamin D? Vitamin D ensures there is enough calcium in the body to produce strong and healthy bones and teeth. Just 10 to 15 minutes of exposure to sun per day is all that is needed.
Get Plenty of Sleep
The average person needs between 7-8 hours of sleep per day. This allows the body to recover and repair itself. This time is when our bodies will restore energy supplies and revitalise itself.
If you have problems sleeping try spraying your pillows or bedroom with lavender oil, the relaxing properties of the oil will calm and relax you.
Alternatively a warm bath before bed with 6-8 drops of lavender oil added to it will also help relax you and release any tensions from the day.
Take Time to Relax
We live in a world where stress has, sadly, become a very close acquaintance mainly due to fact we don't seem to have time to rest. However it is important to take time to rest, even if only for a few minutes to prevent over stimulation of mind and body. Taking a few minutes to practice deep breathing, yoga, meditation or some simple stretching will help clear your mind and loosen any tension in your body.
Just remember, a healthy body equals a healthy mind!

This cast on is excellent for single ribbing (k1/p1) on hats, mittens, socks or sweaters. It produces a stretchy edge that has a "rolled" appearance with an indiscernible beginning. Below are photos of the finished cast on. Also, a complete tutorial may be found here: Italian Tubular Cast On for the Round Loom.

We support women
At TherapyDen, we embrace women's issues and work to address the negative influences that sexism, bigotry, and inequality have on women.
The therapists we've featured here are specialists, passionate about supporting women, and helping you on your journey.
At TherapyDen, we embrace women's issues and work to address the negative influences that sexism, bigotry, and inequality have on women.
My interest in treating women's mental health started with my own crappy personal experience. After my first child was born my symptoms were missed or brushed off when I brought them up, and they went untreated. The difference that great mental health care made (when I finally realized what was going on) for me was life-changing. I've seen friends, colleagues and family members go through the same weird brush-off/minimization/run-around/confusion. I've focused my training and therapy practice on meeting women where they are, providing practical tools for real life, and supporting clients as they move from spending all their energy "just surviving" to a space of authenticity and energetic purpose.
Jennifer Schermerhorn, Counselor
I am in the process of forming a local support group for women who have infants and/or young children (0-4/5 years old), women struggling with postpartum concerns, and women who are expecting. Being a mother is a tough job and nothing can fully prepare you for such a lifelong journey. I am a mother of two young girls myself, so I understand both the personal and professional aspects of what it's like to be "in it". Working with mothers (even "adult" mothers, who struggle with relationships with grown children) is a passion of mine. process through making decisions for themselves (i.e. transitioning from thinking like a little girl to thinking like a young adult). I have experience working with middle school aged children, females in particular, who are struggling to find their identity, navigate emotional and physical changes or stresses, and I also have experience working with women who have been in abusive (physically or emotionally) relationships; women struggling to keep together romantic, social, and familial relationships with which they are struggling; and women who need someone to guide them through stress, depression, and anxiety surrounding work, family, or other relationships.

Good content has one goal…to engage the reader.
A secondary goal is to deepen the "know-like-trust" equation in customer relationships. Good copywriting using the principals outlined in this guide are a proven contribution to sales growth. Avoid the high cost of hiring a professional copywriter when you learn these copywriting lessons well.
Part 4 of the 5 Part Guide
Principals of Writing Effective Web Content
The first two posts of this guide were about the importance of good headlines, bullet points and white space. The third segment covered topic selection. This post is about the body of the content. Sales growth comes when you move the reader toward a purchase…let's keep them reading the body of your content.
Without Emotions You Will Miss Sales
You are interested in sales growth. You know that people "Buy with emotions, then justify with facts." Countless copywriting studies have tested this concept over and over for more than a century. It never fails to ring true.
Learning what emotions lead to sales in your business is not easy. You must spend time getting to know your ideal customer to speak to them in a way that evokes emotion. Try this online tool to find emotional triggers that will lead to sales growth.
Revise and Re-adjust so Your Message is Clear
A friend of mine is a PhD in English and former professor at LSU. She claims that "There is no such thing as good writing. There is only good re-writing." Even when you draft a short email, take the time to read the email one more time before you hit send. When you are succinct and clear to make the message fully understandable, it saves time and aggravation in the long run.
Anything less than a carefully crafted message leaves room for misunderstanding…or the reader may click away. Use bulleted lists, or better yet, make emails short and only cover one topic. Otherwise, in our busy world, the recipient may fully intend to respond.
However, if they perceive your multi-topic email time-consuming and they put it off for another time. You may think you are saving a little time by shooting off a quick email. Instead of sales growth, your rushed message will often result in a total waste of time.
Use a Golden Thread
Have you ever listened to good friends chat? They will often flip and jump from subject to subject. They leave other participants clueless about the topic being discussed. While good friends can get by with this manner of discussing lots of topics – YOU CAN'T. Good friends have a powerful "golden thread" and it is the deep relationship and time-proven history.
When you are talking to prospects, you cannot afford to wander off your very specific sales path. When you re-read your content like suggested in the section above, look for anything that strays away from the point you are trying to make in your content.
Be ruthless in eliminating information that does not lead the prospect through your sales process. A great way to keep from wandering from one topic to the next is to start with an editorial calendar for your content. With a copywriting plan, you accomplish two things.
1. You will have a global vision of how you will guide your prospects into becoming customers.
2. It is easier to stay "on topic" when you know that you will be covering a subject in another content piece.
Many things are involved in copywriting that leads to your desired level of sales growth. Take the principals and apply them one-at-a-time. Soon you will see an increase in revenue and it will be worth it.

I'm just back from Charleston, South Carolina—where, besides taking pictures of antebellum mansions and 12-layer coconut cake and hosting our 11th annual Summit of Top Travel Specialists, I tested travel apps in preparation for my upcoming "Top Travel Apps" talk at The New York Times Travel Show this Saturday, March 1, at 3 p.m. Here are the five apps that enhanced my latest trip the most. I'll be sharing many more magic apps at the Show, as well as here on The Perrin Post afterward, so stay tuned.
I've been using this app a lot lately when driving rental cars because it serves the same purpose as a car GPS (which I don't want to have to lug with me from home or rent from the car agency). Punch in your destination, and the app plots your fastest route, also providing voice directions so that you need never take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.
While I use Google Maps when driving, I use Around Me** **when walking. In Charleston I needed to find the pharmacy closest to my hotel. The Around Me app pulled up drugstores on a map and showed me my fastest walking route to the nearest CVS.
This app can show you, augmented-reality-style, what the neighborhood you're exploring looked like in the past. In cities where many historic photos have been taken, simply stand on a street corner, and on your smartphone you can pull up photos of what that corner, or the buildings nearby, looked like in, say, 1946 or 1910.
In addition to providing a forecast for every hour of the day, the app shows at a glance when the sun will rise and set—so that you know when the light will be best for taking photographs. In Charleston, where I had only a spare hour or two for a stroll, I left my hotel 90 minutes before sunset so that I would be at The Battery—and be ready to shoot those aforementioned antebellum mansions—when the golden hour hit.
At midday the light for photographs is usually at its worst, thanks to the extreme contrast between bright sun and deep shade. Think a sunlit forest. It's especially bad when you're indoors trying to photograph anything (furniture, people) that's backlit by a window that's letting in streaming sunlight. The Pro HDR (High Dynamic Range) camera app fixes this problem, reducing the contrast between light and dark. The app saved several of my Charleston photos.
Also check out my 26 Travel Apps That Will Change Your Life. And I hope to see you at the New York Times Travel Show!

Chapter One Summary
The Image of the City – Chapter One Summary Teacher: Toby Day student: sys, JIAO-HO words: 220 Chapter one is composed of author's main idea; the image of the environment, then has been distinguished to two sections: Legibility and manageability. Generally speaking, it is apparently that the majority of author's theory is based on the visual quality of the American city. Under legibility consequence, cityscape could be patterned by citizen's dally life experience.
Especially In some modern cities with reorient urban planning, where every single road or alley Is organized very logically when presenting on ground figure, and theoretically, totally lost in the city context sometimes could makes city more unpredictable, and more vivid. In other concern, manageability, the ultimate spirit is hold here is according to that city is changeable to subjective perspective – scale that more specific like an individual walking as a pedestrian with random rhythm on the sidewalk.
The spread of such a vast trampoline area could be all depends on how much relative citizens dig themselves in. The ever increasing of intelligent would be able to aware that what is next of both biological and cultural development by living as observer. No matter it is visual clarity or visual interconnection and whatsoever, designers are Just forming the whole scene, which is identical for commons to structure its corresponding image in their minds. " It is the total environment made visible. "

HOUSTON (AP) — Gary Kubiak said Trindon Holliday had to do something spectacular in the preseason to make the Houston Texans' final roster.
How is this, Coach?
Holliday returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown, a week after scoring on a 90-yard kickoff return, and Matt Schaub threw a touchdown pass to Lestar Jean in the Texans' 20-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.
The 5-foot-5 Holliday was a sixth-round draft pick in 2010, but missed his rookie year with a left thumb injury. He was hindered by a hamstring injury in training camp last year and spent most of the season on the practice squad.
With a glut of receivers ahead of him, including two incoming draft picks, Holliday knew when training camp began that his best chance to survive the final cut was to excel as a return specialist.
So far, so good.
"It's two weeks in a row," Kubiak said. "We still have a couple weeks to go, but he's definitely making a tremendous case for himself."
Holliday finished with 106 yards on four punt returns, and 61 yards on two kickoff returns. Early in the fourth quarter, Holliday caught Andy Lee's punt at the Texans' 13, found a seam along the sideline and sprinted to the end zone.
"Coach had told me to line up on the 10," Holliday said, "and normally when you line up on the 10, it's a fair catch but he said the punter was going to give us a knuckle ball. He said, 'Don't fair catch it.' Just try to make something happen.' It feels good, but I still got a lot of work to do."
Schaub completed 11 of 14 passes for 128 yards in two quarters, near-perfect in his second game since fracturing his right foot in Week 10 last season.
The Texans (No. 6 in the AP Pro32) held the 49ers to 267 yards and stopped the 49ers twice on fourth down. Alex Smith completed 5 of 9 passes for 49 yards for the 49ers (No. 4). He was sacked twice by the Texans' first-string defense, which seemed to bring pressure every time Smith dropped back.
"Most self-inflicted by me," Smith said. "On the first play, a miscommunication with me and the other 10 guys in the huddle, and resulted in a hit. Then down the line, I tried to make a couple of plays by getting out of the pocket, and they're good up front."
The 49ers led the NFL in rushing defense last season and bottled up Arian Foster until the league's leading rusher in 2010 weaved 24 yards to the San Francisco 12 late in the first half. Foster carried 10 times for 46 yards in the opening two quarters.
49ers running back Brandon Jacobs left in the first quarter with a left knee injury after a hit by Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson, and second-round pick LaMichael James limped off in the fourth quarter.
San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said Jacobs will "miss a little time," but that his injury isn't serious. He said James is fine and is expected back at practice on Monday.
Randy Moss made three catches for 24 yards, his first receptions of the preseason.
"There's always good, there's always some bad so we'll just keep climbing," Harbaugh said. "That's the thing we're going to need to do right now. It was a 'grind-it-out' kind of game."
Schaub went 4-for-4 on Houston's opening drive, and Shayne Graham booted a 48-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Graham is competing with fifth-round draft pick Randy Bullock for the kicking job.
Schaub started the next series with a deep pass to Johnson, who outleaped two defenders to make the catch. The drive stalled there, and Bullock missed a 51-yard field-goal attempt.
"Yards are hard to come by against that type of group," Schaub said. "But you've just got to stick to your plan and stay true to who you are and try to find plays in their defense. We were able to do that."
Colin Kaepernick replaced Smith with nine minutes left in the half, and immediately completed a short pass to Moss.
Harbaugh said this week that Kaepernick is leading the competition for the backup role against Scott Tolzien and Josh Johnson, who both played in the second half.
Former Houston Cougars quarterback Case Keenum came in with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. The undrafted Keenum, who became the Football Bowl Subdivision's career leader in yards passing (19,217) and touchdown passes (155) in college, is competing with offseason pickup John Beck for the No. 3 quarterback role in Houston.
NOTES: LB Aldon Smith, who injured his right hip in the preseason opener, and CB Perrish Cox were among the inactive players for San Francisco. ... Derek Newton, a seventh-round draft pick in 2011, started at right tackle for Houston. Newton is competing with Rashad Butler for the starting role vacated when the Texans waived veteran Eric Winston in the offseason. Antoine Caldwell started at right guard for the second straight game, as he continues to compete with rookie Brandon Brooks for the starting role there. ... Linebacker Eric Bakhtari led the 49ers with seven tackles.
HOUSTON (AP) — Gary Kubiak said Trindon Holliday had to do something spectacular in the preseason to make the Houston Texans' final roster.

Energy storage comes together
Energy Storage Europe 2018 has grown to be one of the world's leading conference and trade events, concentrating on energy storage technologies. Held in Düsseldorf March 13 – 15, the event hosted the most comprehensive international conference programme focused on fast-growing energy storage markets and the sector's diverse technology landscape. DWR eco experts attended to report on the event for those of you who weren't able to make it. Here is what's in storage:
On the technology front, energy storage technologies including flywheels, Power-to-X, redox flow batteries, and lithium ion battery suppliers right across the value chain and market segments were present in Düsseldorf. And while the event is predominately focused on the German marketplace, international suppliers, both new and established, were present.
An nteresting new player on the scene was Fluence Energy, which is a joint venture between U.S. utility AES and Siemens. Fluence's largest single project is a 100 MWh, four-hour battery to be installed in southern California and recently it was awarded a 30 MWh project in Australia. Both are are designed to meet peak electricity demand on the network and provide frequency regulation services.
While Fluence is tapping dual revenue streams for these projects, the company warned that there are dangers in stacking too many revenues streams to make a business case. "Stack it too high it falls over," Fluence warned.
Another storage provider to watch is Greensmith, which has developed a portfolio of over 200 MWh of battery storage projects in the U.S. In 2017, the Californian company was acquired by Finnish power equipment giant Wärtsilä. It is aiming to leverage its European ownership as it enters the marketplace.
Like Greensmith, Germany's Younicos was acquired by an established energy provider in 2017, pointing to a trend of accelerating consolidation in the sector. The UK's Aggreko purchased the large-scale storage pioneer, and at Energy Storage Europe the coming together of the two companies' core competencies was evident.
Younicos launched its solar-as-a-service offering in Düsseldorf, with the company giving off or fringe-of-grid customers the opportunity to rent a battery unit for between 2 – 4 years. The service is targeted at industrial players, with the mining sector in remote areas most obvious application.
There is no doubting that offgrid applications of battery storage is proving to be an attractive usiness case for the technology. Not only are well engineered and appropriately sized electrical storage solutions competitive today with diesel generation when coupled with solar PV generation, they can also supply a better quality of power supply to communities and businesses located beyond the reaches of the grid.
Microgrid applications are also one of the larger market segments in which battery systems are an important component. Within such microgrids, the software and battery management system (BMS) becomes of crucial importance in balancing a combination of generation sources, and meet electricity demand in an uninterrupted fashion. Here, storage provider like Berlin-based Qinous provides a perfect solution.
As an emerging technology and one in which competitiveness in certain use cases is only now emerging at scale, there is still a long way for energy storage to become a mainstream participate in the energy landscape. However, there is a huge amount of technological and business model innovation taking place across a fast-moving supplier landscape. For these reasons, Energy Storage Europe is likely to remain an important event on Europe's renewable energy event calendar.

Finding the perfect gift is stressful at the best of times. When you're surrounded by lovebirds, it can quite quickly feel like you're competing to create the biggest romantic gesture.
Don't get us wrong: flowers and chocolates are great. However, if you really want to make an impact, our sexy Valentine's gifts for couples promise to give you a night of intimacy and romance. There's a few naughty pieces in there, too – after all, we wouldn't be Bondara if we didn't get up to no good!
Say it with Words
Before you even start to think about gifts, make sure you get a card sorted! Just as meaningful as any soppy poem, say it with a heartfelt declaration from McCarthy Arts. If your Valentine makes your knob throb, your tits tingle or your minge twinge, we've got you sorted.
Erotic Edibles
Forget dinner and fill yourselves up on some erotic edibles. With body paint and edible lube, make your sex life tastier than ever as you fill it with tempting treats. Write sweet nothings or naughty secrets on your partner's body before licking them off. As you play, give gentle strokes with your tongue further down their stomach and up their inner thighs; the perfect way to move onto oral sex.
Massage Oil
A gentle, sensual massage will let you both relax as you melt into arousal. Give your partner a rub-down with a plain, fruity or aphrodisiac scent as you get closer (all the time banking brownie points for later!). Choose a warming oil, such as the Bijoux Indiscrets Light My Fire Caramel Warming Oil, for extra stimulation or a dual-purpose lubricant, letting your hands do the talking as you complete the massage with a mind-blowing orgasm.
Sexy Games
All good workouts need a warm up, and a sex game is the perfect way to get limber. Light-hearted and humorous, a sexy scratch card is a great gift for people in long-term relationships and new couples alike. As you reveal each dirty deed, enjoy getting physical as you complete your task!
If you want to up the stakes on your play, use a board game to give your games night a sexy edge. With the Monogamy Game, the Path to Pleasure and more to choose from, discover a new, naughty challenge behind each roll.
Lingerie and Underwear
A gift you can both enjoy! Buy as a gift or surprise your Valentine by appearing at the door in your newest seductive piece.
For her, we suggest lace and satin lingerie in red or black to hit that romantic vibe. As you choose from corsets, babydolls and more, you're sure to find something to suit their style.
For him, we have everything from thongs to boxers to novelty underwear that promise to enhance your package and ensure all eyes are on you. Keep it simple or go for a 'cheeky' theme in open-back styles!
Why not use Valentine's as the time to try something a little kinkier? If you love ramping it up with roleplay, check out our selection of sexy costumes. We've also got plenty of scandalous fetishwear pieces for men and for women; the perfect nudge to getting your freak on.
Light Restraint
Put your trust to the test as you enter submission. Forgo the furry handcuffs and enjoy ultimate submission with romantic silk and lace designs. As a blindfold leaves you in suspense, your remaining senses will heighten for intensified sensations with every touch.
If these sound too tame for your kinks, kick things up a notch with more confining restraints and ensure your Valentine's night is kept in the bedroom.
Ticklers and Crops
Awaken your partner's senses as you tease with a tickler or go a step naughtier with a cane or crop (it is Valentine's, after all!). Lightly trail your weapon of choice across your partner's body, flicking it over their sweet spots to have them completely at your mercy. For the more daring amongst you, try out a paddle or a flogger for a spankingly good Valentine's.
Remote Vibrators
The term 'sharing is caring' comes into its own with remote vibrators. While they're also designed for solo play, focus on the fun you can share this Valentine's. As she internally wears the vibrator, her partner takes full control, making this toy perfect for foreplay fun!
If you're keeping your Valentine's fun in the bedroom, a wired vibrator will be perfect for you. However, if you fancy being a little adventurous, we definitely recommend going outdoors with your toy. But, if you do, remember this toy isn't for screamers!
To get all the buzz, check out our vibrator guide.
Couple's Vibrators
Come closer than ever with a couple's vibrator. Worn by the female, the U-shaped toy is perfectly designed to hit her G-spot and clitoris. Sounds fun, right? Well, it's not just for her! With room still to penetrate, he'll love brushing against the body-shaking vibrations with every stroke.
Admittedly, this isn't the cheapest of toys. However, if you're looking for a Valentine's gift that will be used night after night, it's worth the investment!
If you're feeling inspired and want to take a look at a more romantic, luxurious pieces, head over to the Bondara Boutique. Or, if you fancy a little more information, check out our couple's sex toy guide. Valentine's falls on a Tuesday this year; we suggest starting your celebrations the weekend before and continuing the fun all week (any excuse to spend more time between the sheets!).

|Ahavel Aborishade on Surviving the First Years as an Entrepreneur - Especially as a Woman
Surviving in the business world can be tough. The environments are often competitive, fast-paced and challenging, and statistics from 2018 show women as less likely to make it to managerial positions than men. Ahavel Aborishade knows that though the first years are hard, you can hit the heights you want with the right expectations and drive. Making it in business as a woman adds an extra layer of difficulty, but by utilizing these five states of mind, Ahavel Aborishade shows you how to gain some important headway.
1. Allay self-doubt.
Starting up a business can be immensely demanding psychologically. It's easy to be affected by doubt about your ability, your service, your future success and how you're going to structure your time around your priorities. Recognizing your self-worth is immensely helpful on the path to success.
Nobody made it big without the faith in their ability and the courage to proceed. Often, we're so focused on the big steps that will propel our business forward that we forget the importance of the smaller ones. Be proud that you've made the decision to make it in your field, be proud that you've planned your future, that you have skills in your chosen area and recognize that self-doubt is a natural process that many go through.
Don't listen to that nagging voice telling you that you can't make it or that others are better – you can bring your own style to your industry in a way that no-one else can.
2. Don't be intimidated and speak your mind.
It's no secret that men are more successful in the business world, but avoiding working with the opposite sex is not productive. A working relationship with men will make your business more successful.
Part of the thought process here is not to give in to feeling intimidated. Men are well-known for being competitive but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be competitive or that you should worry about appearing unfeminine. Men like working with women when they show a similar level of determination and acumen; in fact, some prefer it.
Don't be afraid of being honest, of speaking your mind, and working with members of the opposite sex that have more experience than you. Neither sex is better in this area – just different – and both sexes have benefits that they can bring to the table.
3. Be passionate and love what you do.
It's vital not to underestimate the importance of passion in enterprise. The one thing that is going to help you maintain your drive for when things get difficult – not if they get difficult – is your love for your business. If you have a love and passion for what you do, you will be indefatigable and push on when the going gets tough.
4. Don't be sensitive, be strong.
In the business world, just like in daily life, there are many different types of people. Some will be helpful, some supportive and some kind, but there are also those who will be overly-critical, proud, arrogant, and unfair. It's essential to be strong and prepared for the wide variety of people in the business world.
Sometimes it's possible to be at the receiving end of sexist attitudes, but laughing these off and proceeding anyways can pay dividends and can gain you respect in the eyes of your critics. If you're the type of individual who's sensitive, you'll have to develop a thicker skin to make it. If this doesn't feel like 'you', "fake it till you make it" can be the best advice. Try adopting a persona – before long it'll be second nature.
5. There's no short cut to hard work.
This last one may seem obvious, but it's the most critical. Many people don't have experience of what it's like to start up a business and it's easy to get the wrong impression. Popular culture and social media don't help, with the idea of working calmly in cafés with a latte and a laptop seeming attractive and easy. Unfortunately, it's not always so laid back – there will come times when things are difficult, stressful or confusing. If you're not prepared to put the work in, your business won't succeed.
If you have confidence, belief and care about your business it will grow. If things don't work, try another way and above all, be persistent. Such attitudes can be extremely effective, generating revenue while helping to eliminate sexism and level the playing field.
Surviving and making it in the business world can be tricky as a woman, but thankfully there are many like Ahavel Aborishade who have been there before and who can give future start-ups good advice. Making your way as an entrepreneur is about state of mind and self-belief as much as it is about ability. If you develop your business using these five main concepts, making it through the first few years will be easier and more rewarding.
