"Hottest July day ever in England"
Wednesday has become the hottest July day in England ever, with a temperature of 36.3C (97.3F)...
Earlier in the week, the highest official temperatures for Monday and Tuesday were recorded at London's Heathrow Airport, where the thermometer shot up to 32.7C (90.8F) on Monday and 33.2C (91.8F) on Tuesday.
On Wednesday a 35C (95F) reading at Heathrow topped the previous July record temperature there of 34C (93F).

bOmbay Sapphire gLass competition
The preparation of the classic martini cocktail is a sacred ritual. Every step meticulously thought out and executed, in impeccable sequence. First the chilled glass, next the olives, then the Bombay Sapphire, not shaken, but gently stirred so as not to bruise the delicate flavours. Then finally, just a spritz of dry vermouth - not even. Love, passion and profound appreciation of the martini’s simplistic purity is imperative.
This impeccable drink quenches more than thirst. As your lips take the first sip of a Sapphire martini, you begin a sensuous journey into an alluring paradox of wet and dry.
The Penetration glass is a suggestive, playful adaptation of the traditional martini cocktail glass, enhancing the moment.
The aim of this design is to seduce the drinker with ideas of ‘risk and reward’. Risk lies in the potential danger that the precious liquid might leak through the holes.
The glass is penetrated by the seeming danger of the glass pick. The olive is trapped until the martini is finished, pinned to the glass…teasing you. You play the game - or you loose it all. This reward comes at the very end.
The clarity of the glass and the lucidity of the liquid become one. The pick is the stopper, without which the liquid would escape. The creation of the Bombay Sapphire martini becomes all about the balance, the sequence, the expectation, the waiting, and the wanting.
A sigh of satisfaction.
A moment of reflection. Then begin again.

We would be delighted to collaborate with your MA as mentor for your student Spike.
HFR-LAB has been created as a collaborative laboratory where to bringforward our personal artistic practices. Our work has been screened and exhibited in various festivals around the globe but only in the last year we started to deal with the real world of commercial projects.

"The sign Aries is symbolized by the Ram.
Your sign's element is Fire. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars.
You are quick, daring, self assertive, and full of spunk. Seldom defeated because defeat is not recognized. You are intelligent, energetic, active, very impatient, and have lots of energy and initiative. You rely mostly on yourself. You are proud, ambitious, useful, and have a desire to achieve through force. You have leadership qualities.
Possible negative aspects of the sign Aries:
You can be hasty, inconsiderate, brash, destructive, and domineering. You will say things without thinking. You can be arrogant, presumptuous, and your own interests will come first."
yyyyyyup.

"It is time the world moved to a standard system of measurement. The metric system, long used in Europe and other parts of the world, is a failure as a unit of length. While it makes using a calculator easier, it makes using a brain harder. Its decimal-based units are inadequate for normal use, favoring applications for computers and mathematicians rather than real-world measurements. Machines must be designed to accommodate humans, not the other way around, so it's time to bring computers up to speed and teach them the Imperial system, a more human, more natural system of measurement.
For human purposes, the metric system fails because of its decimal-system gradations. These gradations quickly become unresolvable for any practical purpose. An excellent example of this is the meter. The meter is divided into ten decimeters, which largely go unused. Each decimeter is divided into ten centimeters, the most common subunit of the meter. Each centimeter is divided into ten millimeters. Therefore, a meter has 100 centimeters and 1,000 millimeters. Mathematical, computer-friendly precision. But nearly useless for a human.
Its Imperial competitor, the yard, is nearly the same length. It is divided into three feet; each foot is divided into 12 inches. Each inch is traditionally divided into halves, quarters, eighths, and sixteenths; however, there is also an alternate scale that divides each inch into six picas, and each pica into 12 points. Though on paper this appears to be a messier system, lacking the tidy decimal precision of the meter, in practice it is much more effective."
