The A to Z of a sound investment...
A is for Appreciation. Decide whether you want your buy-to-let property to deliver a regular income, or if you want its value to grow to give you a windfall or retirement pension down the line. The golden rule is that buying an inexpensive property in a more depressed market will bring you a higher yield than if you buy in an expensive area where the bigger rent will be wiped out by steeper entry costs. However, if you do buy in a struggling market you are less likely to see the property's value grow rapidly. Buy in a regeneration area and play a long game for the best long-term profit.
B is for Bank of England. When you consider whether buying to let will pay dividends for you, bear in mind that if the Bank does, as promised, increase interest rates this year, mortgages will become more expensive — and your potential profits will be cut.
C is for Choosing a letting agent. Unless you plan to manage your rental property yourself, you will need a good agent to collect rent, find tenants and fix problems. The Association of Residential Letting Agents (arla.co.uk) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (rics.org) both have databases of accredited members. Find out who your point of contact will be, exactly what they will be doing for you, and how much it will cost — usually about 10-15 per cent of each month's rent. Speak to several firms before deciding, and check if they are registered with the Property Ombudsman (tpos.co.uk) which can arbitrate if you run into difficulties.
D is for Deposits. You are legally required to protect deposit money a tenant pays up front, using a registered tenancy deposit scheme (depositprotection.com; mydeposits.co.uk; tds.gb.com). This means you can't use the money to subsidise your buy to let. If there's a dispute at the end of the tenancy, the scheme operator will arbitrate to decide how much of the deposit should be returned to the tenant.
E is for Effort. Buying to let is not an easy way to earn money. The initial property purchase will be stressful and time-consuming, and even with an agent running the place, you will need to help solve any problems. If you manage the property yourself you will be on duty 24/7. For info on all aspects of buying to let, contact the Residential Landlords Association (rla.org.uk).
F is for Fixtures and Fittings. It's tempting to make your rental property look fantastic but you will not get your investment back on luxe finishes unless you are aiming at the top of the market. Go for mid-range, hard-wearing, fireproof, flexible furniture and neutral colours. H&M Home, Ikea, M&S, British Home Stores and Argos all do bargain furniture with style.
G is for Gas safety. Landlords are legally responsible for the safety of their tenants and must get gas appliances checked regularly by a registered engineer. Electrics should also be checked, furniture must meet fire safety standards, you should install fire alarms and it is well worth investing in a carbon monoxide alarm. The National Landlords Association (landlords.org.uk) has information on your responsibilities.
H is for rent Hikes. You can increase the rent whenever a new contract is signed or renewed by your tenants — but if local rents are flat, they might just leave. It can be worth keeping rents stable to hang on to good tenants.
I is for Illegal immigrants. The Government is making landlords responsible for checking that tenants have the right to rent in the UK. If you rent - deliberately or accidentally — to someone whose status is illegal, you could be fined up to £3,000. The Guild of Residential Landlords offers a guide (see landlordsguild.com/new-how-to-rent -guide-tenancy-agreements-and-right-to-rent/).
J is for Jumping prices. As would-be landlords scramble to buy before new higher stamp duty kicks in from April 1, agents across London are reporting surging prices for investment property. Don't rush to pay over the odds. It's better to take the tax hit and get a good deal further down the line.
K is for Keeping it simple. Unless you have fantastic DIY skills, choose a property that's cheap and easy to maintain — not a listed building, or a wreck, or somewhere with a huge garden.
L is for the Little Black Book of reliable tradespeople you should build up so that when the central heating breaks down or the washing machine floods the kitchen, you know who to call.
M is for your Market. Before you start shopping for a buy-to-let property you need to decide who you want to let to. Young professionals will prefer a modern flat, but prepare yourself for a fairly fast turnover. Family houses can be harder to maintain, but you are more likely to find long-term renters.
N is for Nearness to a station. Homes in five minutes' walk of Tube or rail stations command up to 10 per cent more rent than those further away.
O is for Osborne. Chancellor George Osborne has launched a two-pronged attack on buy-to-let profits. From April, stamp duty on buy-to-let and second homes will rise three per cent, while in the longer term, landlords will no longer be able to claim mortgage interest tax relief.
P is for Property taxes. Landlords pay income tax on earnings from a buy-to-let property and might also have to pay capital gains tax if they sell.
Q is for Quizzing your tenants. You need to be sure they can pay the rent, so ask to see their bank statements, find out what their job is, how long they have held the job and whether they work full or part time. Call in references, and make sure you both sign a properly drawn-up and legally binding assured shorthold tenancy agreement.
R is for Red tape. Before you rent out a property you need an Energy Performance Certificate to assess its energy efficiency. You must also sign up to a deposit protection scheme (see "D" for Deposits) to safeguard money your tenant pays up front. Some councils have landlord registration schemes, so check — or risk a fine.
S is for Service charges. These can be substantial, so don't forget to factor them in when you buy to let at a development where they apply. A flat with a share of freehold will be more expensive to purchase, but could well work out cheaper in the long term.
T is for Two-bedroom flats. Most experts say this is the most reliably rentable type of buy-to-let property in a city. In a commuter town, a house, for the family market, can be a better bet.
U is for Up North. A study by Sequre Property Investment reports that 61 per cent of investors in North of England property are based in London and the South-East. These buyers are targeting good-value locations like Manchester, Liverpool, Preston and Salford where entry prices are low.
V is for Void periods. There will inevitably be times when a rental property isn't let and you will need to be able to cover the cost of the mortgage. Also bear in mind that tenants aren't always the most punctual of payers — so you may have to cover times when they are in arrears.
W is for: "What happens if my tenants default on the rent?" If the rent stops coming in, you must give them two months to start paying again before you can issue a possession notice and go to court. This process can take several months and you will have legal costs to consider. If your tenants are noisy or trash your property and refuse to leave, you can again issue a possession notice against them.
X is for eX-local authority flats. Don't turn up your nose at them — they tend to be great value, and renters won't be as fussy as buyers when it comes to the outside appearance of their home. The same is true of homes above shops, and young renters might quite fancy the idea of living over a café or a convenience store.
Y is for Yield, which is the income you can expect to earn from a buy-to-let property compared to its market value. So if you spent £225,000 buying the place, and you rent it out for £950 per month, your yield would be 5.06 per cent (11,400 divided by 225,000 times 100). Calculating a precise yield is not quite as simple as this, however, as there may be "wildcard" expenses to consider, such as management and maintenance costs.
Z is for Zeitgeist. While the buy-to-let sector is facing challenges, with 64 per cent of 20- to 45-year-olds believing they've no chance of ever owning their own home, the rental market is likely to stay strong for the foreseeable future. And as Generation Rent will tell you, rents are only going in one direction.

Love thy neighbour: facilitation through an alternative signalling modality in plants
Community, population and macroecology
Both competitive and facilitative interactions between species play a fundamental role in shaping natural communities. A recent study showed that competitive interactions between plants can be mediated by some alternative signalling channel, extending beyond those channels studied so far (i.e. chemicals, contact and light). Here, we tested whether such alternative pathway also enables facilitative interactions between neighbouring plant species. Specifically, we examined whether the presence of a 'good' neighbouring plant like basil positively influenced the germination of chilli seeds when all known signals were blocked. For this purpose, we used a custom-designed experimental set-up that prevented above- and below-ground contact and blocked chemical and light-mediated signals normally exchange by plants.
We found that seed germination was positively enhanced by the presence of a 'good' neighbour, even when the known signalling modalities were blocked, indicating that light, touch or chemical signals may not be indispensible for different plant species to sense each other's presence.
We propose that this alternative signalling modality operates as a general indicator of the presence of heterospecifics, enabling seeds to detect and identify a neighbour prior to engaging in a more finely-tuned, but potentially more costly, response.
The notion that neighbouring species negatively impact on one another through competitive interactions has long been the key component of many classic ecological theories and is still the prevailing view amongst plant ecologists. Naturally, plant neighbour relationships take several forms. While there is no doubt that competition plays a fundamental role in shaping plant communities, it has become increasingly recognised that facilitative or positive interactions are also ubiquitous
Much of our current understanding of the mechanisms underlying these facilitative interactions amongst plants has been primarily focused on the effects of light (and shade), chemical signalling or physical proximity and contact. For example, we know that the shade of perennial canopies may benefit young seedlings and smaller species by protecting them from temperature extremes and excessive water loss, and providing favourable soil texture and chemistry
In a recent study, we demonstrated that plants are able to sense and/or affect their neighbours and using some alternative pathway(s) beyond light, chemical signals or physical contact

In the
The presence of basil positively enhanced germination rates of chilli seeds, validating the claims of many gardeners who recognise the beneficial effect of basil on the growth of chilli plants. Interestingly, this was true even when all known signals from the basil were blocked, indicating that the facilitative interaction observed between these two species is mediated through a signalling modality other than those studied thus far (i.e. light, chemicals and touch). Most importantly, the fact that germination of chilli seeds did not differ between the MASKED and OPEN treatment indicates that light, touch or chemical signals may be important but clearly not necessary for chilli seeds and basil plants to sense each other's presence. The observed differences in germination between treatments were relatively small, but even small differences in germination are likely to have significant effects on competitiveness and thus on fitness. In fact, carryover effects associated with different germination responses to the surrounding environment can be responsible for a large amount of the variation in growth and reproductive performance among older individuals (e.g.
Intriguingly, chilli seeds in the
Previous authors have pointed out that facilitation can be an important interaction and one that has not received enough attention from ecologists. We further demonstrate the importance of facilitation between plant species and most interestingly, we provide the first evidence for facilitation occurring via novel communication means other than the established pathways that have already been elucidated. While no mechanistic explanation of how plants may perform the observed feat is available yet (but see

All seeds and adult plants within a replicate unit were then housed within 2 different sized square boxes (44×44×50 cm & 32×32×45 cm respectively), one inside the other, with the air in between the two boxes removed using a pump to create a vacuum and thus avoid interference between adjacent experimental units at any time. The whole experimental unit was custom-made in colourless cast acrylic material (Moden Glas), which transmitted 92% of visible light, but was opaque to ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths (Figure

Amende Honorable, by 'R.B.'
"On the hill above Windsor, by the tower where Henry VIII made that splendidly practical protest at the price of meat, our sidecar outfit stopped owning to some trifling derangement. I ran her into the kerb, surrounded myself with the nebula of tobacco smoke which is so helpful to diagnosis, and fell to work with a wrench.
Vaguely I became conscious of a Presence, top-hatted and short-coated, aged possibly fourteen, moving in arcs about the side of my machine that faced the pavement, whose whistling implied a dearth of desert fruit (I'll not name them!).
Coldly he eyed my much-travelled sidecar, and then - brassily, provocatively, using our faithful 'bus's name - he said, 'Not much of a Royal!'[1] and cocked an eye to see what should follow.
This was new. Those several thousand miles a year take us by many public schools. Charterhouse has a keen eye for maker's transfers or the build of a tank; Harrow affects detachment, but will steal up and make diffident enquiry; Marlborough has a nice ear for exhaust notes; and the school Ardingly way has two who risked a late call-over to fetch me a spring link from the village (my appreciation, translatable into many tins of bloater-paste, was only reluctantly accepted). So I had hoped for better things from Eton.
Some cell in my brain, sealed these twenty years, opened, and I spoke to my passenger, honey-smooth.
'Strange,' I temporised, with the air of one whose withers are unwrung, 'Strange about Eton. Classic foundation, great name, many famous old boys. But' - I italicised darkly - 'there's something dreadful. You'd never believe it!'
Those pink ears twain under the black silk brim grew yet a shade pinker. Concealing a smile, my passenger played up nobly.
'Really?' she said, with just the right shade of polite surprise. 'I've always thought...' trailing away into nothingness, just like that.
I leaned forward, and spoke in a rattling whistper which the libeller could hardly miss: 'Their First Eleven bowl's under-arm!'[2]
'NO??!!' said Millie, registering horror.
'I've seen them,' as one who lets the truth be wrung from him.
Top-hat had gone the colour of a new cricket ball.
'Not the remove, mind you,' I added, judging him that high. 'The First E-le-ven!'
We let it go at that, but the silence while I put my tools away was more than eloquent. I saw his eye fall on our badge, the insignia of a public school motor cycling club which has a reputation, but not for sloth. His little heart was bursting to repel my foul insinuation, but pride and the memory of the fact that he had provoked the jousts forbade it.
I trod on Bucephalus's [3] kick-starter, and she burst into life with that exultant bellow which is all her own, descending on a control into a hollow mutter which suggests the confidences of a mastodon.
He came round into the road; he had to. Those impish blue eyes opened at the sight of our big, black iron lungs, and looked on interrogation almost wistful.
'Five Hundred Mile race type,' I explained, mercifully. 'One of LeVack's special jobs. Sixty easy.'
The look changed to positive reverence. 'I didn't mean,' he blurted, as the clutch snuggled home. 'Nor did we,' I laughed back at him.
'Floreat Aetona!' "
[1]: Clearly, the reference is to a Royal Enfield v-twin of mid-20s vintage, as per the photo; the story is dated by reference later to Herbert LeVack as being from the late 1920s.
[2]: What follows is a dark discussion of Cricket, a game which is a complete mystery to me, but the meaning of the conversation is clear!
[3]: Alexander the Great's horse, Bucephalus, the stuff of legend for his strength, endurance, steadfastness in battle, and intelligence.
It was common for riders of Great Machines to name their motorcycles in the prewar era (in England at least). One thinks of T.E. Lawrence's Brough Superiors, named initially 'Boanerges' (the twin 'sons of thunder'), and later models 'George I-VII'.
In our age of disposable motorcycles, it's difficult to imagine the relationship which existed between man and motorcycle at that time. The beast needed the attention of its owner to give its best, then as now, a symbiosis which generated feelings of affection, and frustration or outright betrayal at times, when the old girl let you down.
You can really feel the Life in motorcycles from the Vintage era, with their smells, wheezes, sulks, coughs, 'petulant choofs', and mighty, inspiring roars when all is going well. A name is fitting.

When I was Features Editor at Cycle Guide magazine in the mid 1980s, LJK (who we cheekily called simply Leonard) was a regular columnist. His copy would arrive monthly and, as was standard practice, shortly thereafter make the rounds of the editorial staff for editing and proofing. More than once we all read the column from start to finish and still had no idea what it was about. But we all agreed the prose was magnificent.

Reading this ensconced in, as it were, the cosy mid-winter warmth of Los Angeles in the suckling days of our new decade, with my own newly tricenarian ironhorse masticating its mechanical oats in the stall downstairs, all i can think as I enjoy this post is that the vast majority of my dear native Usonian friends, whelped with neither the benefit of 'Public' school, nor the boon of the great sport of Cricket, will read the post above with absolutely no clue at all what the f&*k it was about. And that makes it even more entertaining.

T'was interesting to see your reference to dear
old Leonard aka Long John Kickstart, in the
recent Vintagent. His comments about those
particular public schools [I went to a vegetarian
one in the glorious Cotswolds] -- for, just like
the Colleges at Oxbridge, they all have a very
different flavour -- was not far off the mark.
Funny thing, but most p/schools -- to their great
shame, no doubt -- have produced the odd
famous motorcyclist. Hailwood at Pangbourne,
Les Archer at Churchers, Cathcart at Malvern,
and so on. Due the traditional British social
structure a far greater proportion of successful
car racers were incorporated at boarding school.
FYI Leonard's best chum in the 2-wheel world was
David Dixon. Jenks had very little time for LJKS,
stating that he persistently "outposed" everyone!
Best regards,

I first came across LJK's column in 'Bike' magazine as a spotty 13-14 year old. I couldn't understand and a word of it and often questioned the relevance to motorcycling.
I began to appreciate the breadth of LJK's knowledge and experience and recognise a true British eccentric in the best sense that only this country can produce.
When reading the copy of some of today's 'popular' celebrity automotive commentators I recognise a glimmer of them aping a bygone style, unfortunately their audience prefers a 'fast food' rather than 'gourmet' presentation.
- January 12, 2010
- Jon Dudley said...
There was a wonderful Radio 4 programme where LJKS and Brian Sewell discussed the aesthetics of antique fowling pieces. Esoteric and high-flown quality conversation with each trying to outdo the other with his erudition. I think it probably helps to have had a classical education to fully understand LJKS' writings...and I didn't!

The senior engineer behind Hong Kong's island airport claims Boris Johnson's plan for a Thames Estuary airport would be easy to deliver.
Douglas Oakervee, who is carrying out a feasibility study for the Mayor, said it was "quite clear" it would be "relatively straightforward" to build a new airport. After visiting the site with Mr Johnson, he said he was "encouraged" that the project — which has been dubbed "fantasy island" by critics — was possible.
But the Mayor still faces major obstacles to his plan, which has been disowned by his own party, including local opposition, criticism from green groups and the problem of raising up to
£40 billion from the private sector.
Mr Johnson has appeared determined to press on regardless, commissioning the feasibility study, which is due at the end of March.
City Hall sources claimed they have already been approached by Chinese investors to find out about putting money into the project. The airport, an alternative to Heathrow expansion, would have terminals on the Kent and Essex coasts to keep the reclamation area as small as possible, and would be serviced by a high-speed rail link.
Click on the image below to see a larger version
Mr Oakervee, who is also running the Crossrail project, told LBC radio: "From what we've found in the investigation so far this site would actually be easier from an engineering perspective than other airports such as Hong Kong. The ground conditions are much better." He added: "We have learned that there is a remote site where an airport could be built with minimal disruption to people of Essex and Kent. There are technical issues to be addressed but I see no overwhelming obstacle.."
Labour MP Nick Raynsford, chairman of the cross-party parliamentary group on the proposal, said: "This will give the prospect of meeting airport capacity for south-east England in the most environmentally responsible way."
Mr Johnson, who has led opposition to the third runway at Heathrow, said: "A new airport in the Thames Estuary has got to be factored in as an option for London's long-term aviation needs."
He said that the large numbers of birds inhabiting the area would not be at risk from aircraft, and he added that the impact on local people would be "virtually non existent" — as the site was offshore so they would only hear a "dim noise from planes taking off". But he is certain to attract criticism for claiming the project would be "absolutely fantastic" from an environmental perspective. Aviation is among Britain's biggest polluters.
Former mayor Ken Livingstone dismissed the proposal as "mad" and a contradiction of Mr Johnson's pledge to tackle climate change in the capital.
He said: "Suppose he got the money to do the Thames Estuary airport, and suppose the birds obligingly flew somewhere else, you can get an airport which can be extended forever."
Green Assembly member Jenny Jones added: "This is one of the top five internationally important sites for birds in the UK. Their presence would pose a serious risk of bird strike, a threat that would be impossible to avert.
"Boris is constantly putting blind optimism ahead of the facts. He seems to think that just because he says there is no problem, it must be so."Reuse content

Today's mobile workforce is changing telework from a nice idea to a reality. Most of us are now teleworkers in some capacity, so we might as well get tools that reflect that.
Want proof? Chuck Wilsker, president and CEO of the Telework Coalition (telcoa.org), told me he spoke to a group of 265 people not long ago. When he asked how many considered themselves "teleworkers," about 10 percent raised their hands. When he asked how many worked exclusively at the desk in their office and never from home or on the road, only two raised their hands.

I'm thrilled to be participating in the blog tour for Vassa In The Night by Sarah Porter. I first heard about Vassa In The Night at the Raincoast fall preview earlier this year, and I was immediately interested. It's based on the classic Russian folktale Vassilissa The Beautiful. and sounded incredibly cool.
Here is a bit more about the book:
In the enchanted kingdom of Brooklyn, the fashionable people put on cute shoes, go to parties in warehouses, drink on rooftops at sunset, and tell themselves they've arrived. A whole lot of Brooklyn is like that now—but not Vassa's working-class neighborhood.
In Vassa's neighborhood, where she lives with her stepmother and bickering stepsisters, one might stumble onto magic, but stumbling out again could become an issue. Babs Yagg, the owner of the local convenience store, has a policy of beheading shoplifters—and sometimes innocent shoppers as well. So when Vassa's stepsister sends her out for light bulbs in the middle of night, she knows it could easily become a suicide mission.
But Vassa has a bit of luck hidden in her pocket, a gift from her dead mother. Erg is a tough-talking wooden doll with sticky fingers, a bottomless stomach, and a ferocious cunning. With Erg's help, Vassa just might be able to break the witch's curse and free her Brooklyn neighborhood. But Babs won't be playing fair. . . .
The author, Sarah Porter, also teaches creative writing to students in New York. She lives in Brooklyn and has published several other novels in a similar magical realism style. When asked about her writing routine, she said the following:
What does your writing routine look like? Do you have a favorite location to write?
Hi Jessica! I write every day, unless there's some pressing reason why I can't. I usually deal with emails and such in the morning, when my focus isn't great anyway, and really settle in to write around noon, for anywhere from three to twelve hours. I'm lucky enough to have a beautiful study, so I always write at home unless I'm traveling.
My Review-
You've heard all about what the book is about, and learned more about the author, so it only makes sense for me to share my opinion on VASSA IN THE NIGHT now.
So, what did I think?
To put it simply, VASSA IN THE NIGHT was spectacular. It would easily fall within the best dozen or so books I've read so far this year. I tend to enjoy magical realism novels to begin with, so I knew that VASSA IN THE NIGHT and I would get along well.
The world that VASSA IN THE NIGHT is set in was unlike anything I'd read before. At first, it appears just like modern-day Brooklyn, but then BYs is introduced. Baba Yaggs' is the local 24/7 supermarket. At first, it seems just like any other shop, except for its unique habit of beheading the shoplifters. Vassa knows that BYs is to be avoided at all costs, until her sister dares her to go out there in the middle of the night.
What starts out as a simple shopping trip quickly turns into something so much more, and it's up to Vassa to save her neighbourhood–and herself–from Baba Yaggs. With such a unique premise, it isn't surprising that I felt drawn to it. The author's writing is lyrical, and brings the world vividly to life. Although it was based on Vassilissa The Beautiful, VASSA IN THE NIGHT has the atmosphere and writing style of a fairy tale itself.
Although I really enjoyed the story world, I started out disliking Vassa. She seemed stubborn and brash, but her personality eventually grew on me and I started to root for her as the story developed.
If you're looking for a dark, lyrical read and love fairy-tale retellings or magical realism, then you absolutely need to get your hands on VASSA IN THE NIGHT.

you've gone – how could anyone
know you when you didn't listen
to the beating of time?
Time would have bandaged all
your wounds, grown a thick skin
across scars, and battered down
the doors of bad memories.
I know that this is true. I've lived
beyond the need for death, laughed
at desperation and talked
myself alive again – whole
though some people might question
how whole and how sane but sane
enough; I am here to tell stories
and stronger than super-glue.

Washington, Jan 5 (ANI): Purdue University researchers have designed solar cells that can repair themselves just like plants do.
"We've created artificial photosystems using optical nanomaterials to harvest solar energy that is converted to electrical power," said Jong Hyun Choi.
The design exploits the unusual electrical properties of structures called single-wall carbon nanotubes, using them as "molecular wires in light harvesting cells," Choi added.
Conventional photoelectrochemical cells contain light-absorbing dyes called chromophores, which degrade due to exposure to sunlight.
But the new solar cells overcome this problem just as nature does: by continuously replacing the photo-damaged dyes with new ones.
"This sort of self-regeneration is done in plants every hour," Choi said.
The carbon nanotubes work as a platform to anchor strands of DNA.
"The DNA recognizes the dye molecules, and then the system spontaneously self-assembles," Choi said.
However, using natural chromophores is difficult, and they must be harvested and isolated from bacteria, a process that would be expensive to reproduce on an industrial scale, Choi said.
"So instead of using biological chromophores, we want to use synthetic ones made of dyes called porphyrins," he said.
The findings were detailed in a November presentation during the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exhibition in Vancouver. (ANI)

text: AMSTERDAM, April 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FreshCotton, the online mens' clothing store, launches a limited edition Stussy Amsterdam tee in a way that gets your taste buds – and imagination - going. With their Baked cookbook Stussy is challenging the boundaries of gastronomy by nudging the liberal Amsterdam coffeeshop culture towards something more high-end and discerning. To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/extreme-cooking-and-fashion-freshcotton-launches-exclusive-stussy-amsterdam-tee-with-baked-cookbook-201133521.html Working with ad agency Arnold Amsterdam, responsible for the viral success of Stussy Amsterdam Strip For Likes social media campaign, FreshCotton decided to avoid the usual Spring Collection Lookbook and instead created a Cookbook – with a twist. "This project represents what we like about Amsterdam – fashion, good food and having fun," says Colin Lamberton, Creative Director on the project. "The cookbook is very relevant for today's mash-up culture. Cooking shows are really popular so we wanted to create an alternative take on cooking – one that feels more raw and experimental in premise, but looks and tastes beautiful and sophisticated." "It's haute cuisine, Amsterdam style: using every street-legal drug you can imagine. From well-known marijuana to more esoteric buzzes," explains Rickard Engstrom, who (with his creative partner Joris Kang'eri) was responsible for the idea. "Chef Misha will show you how to make truly mind-blowing, beautiful food," says Jesse Smit, CEO of FreshCotton. "And in return for a Tweet you can download a recipe book for your tablet or to print." The project showcases a selection of Amsterdam talent working together– the films were directed by Doug Hancock through Darlings Amsterdam; the digital execution was done by highly-regarded interactive studio Cartelle; and the music was provided by Full Crate, a producer who fuses hip-hop and soul with a futuristic sound design. Neil Henry, of Arnold Amsterdam produced the campaign. The main protagonist in the cookbook is heavily-tattooed Chef Misha Sukyas, who brings a history of haute cuisine and an interest in experimental techniques. Misha blends perfectly with FreshCotton styling in the seasonal Lookbook – which shows a really exciting mix of high-fashion combined with traditional street culture.

Firms including the Royal Mail, Microsoft, Pfizer, Phones4U, Centrica and Morrisons will provide apprenticeships, work or training.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is set to detail plans to guarantee a job for anyone aged between 18 and 24 who has been out of work for 10 months, rather than a year as previously planned.
The move follows calls from unions and business groups for ministers to do more to help jobless youngsters, such as expanding the apprenticeship programme and creating more work experience and internship opportunities across Britain.
Official figures have revealed that the jobless rate among 16 to 24-year-olds has soared to almost 20%, with more than 920,000 classed as unemployed, and the number surging towards the politically sensitive one million mark.
Work and Pensions Secretary Yvette Cooper said the main point of the move, and previously-announced measures, was to make sure Britain did not return to the 1980s, when young people were out of work for years. The Government was "determined" to guarantee work, training or other employment options to young people, she said.
Most young people found work or training within three months of being unemployed, the minister said. And she maintained there were more than 70,000 vacancies in the retail sector alone but acknowledged that young people were often overlooked in favour of more experienced candidates.
"That is why we have to give them the first step on the jobs ladder," she told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Young people have a harder time when there is an economic downturn but we are now prepared to put extra investment in."
Ministers are drawing up a "back to work" White Paper, which is expected to give more details on how unemployment is hitting the economy and measures to tackle the problem. Plans being outlined include training for young people in potential growth industries such as retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism.
Campaign group Youth Fight for Jobs, backed by a number of leading trade unions, is staging a demonstration against rising youth unemployment in London on November 28 and a lobby of Parliament to mark the next set of unemployment figures later this month.

The Upper East Side location of Danny Meyer's burger stand serves Shack standards, along with a menu of frozen concretes exclusive to this location (the "Pineapple Upper East Side Cake" is made of pineapple, shortbread and maraschino cherries). Carnivores of all sizes love the burgers made from fresh-ground sirloin and brisket and tucked inside a pillowy potato roll; vegetarians will be more than happy to sink their teeth into a satisfying portobello cap stuffed with cheese and onions. Though the single patties ($4.50) are kid-sized, a ten-spot will get Mom and Dad a Shackburger and a Budweiser.

Shake Shack is a great little place to grab some delicious cheese fries and a chik'n shack (the best!!). This location has a sweet little outdoor seating area that's great on a beautiful day!
Great place for a good and relatively cheap burger.I'm not really a fan of fancy and overpriced burgers at expensive restaurants.I'll take a cheap, greasy, version any day.Also a good place for milkshakes and good beer and a pretty big outside area during the summer.The one downside is that the line can get insanely long sometimes, and there are not a lot of seats inside if it's cold outside.But other than that, there are a lot of options for a good burger and crispy fries with dipping sauces, and it won't kill your bank account compared to most other places.

We love it with...
Pli? Wand Creativity Kit is rated out of 5 by 37.
Rated 3 out of 5 by shutterblog from Don't get messy or you'll ruin the caps I love my Plié Wand and wanted this kit to go with it. The striping brush is "ok" and makes a decent enough line. The actual fibers of the brush can be hard to clean but it's manageable. The dotting tool should come in two sizes as most others do - but it does not. The worst feature, however, is the plastic the materials they are made with. I always use a non-acetone polish remover to clean my brushes, and even with Julep's "gentle" conditioning polish remover, it ate the finishes on my caps. I only had them exposed to the remover long enough to wipe off excess polish that had dripped, but that was enough. Two of my caps (striping tool and precision brush) became so gummy I ended up tossing them. I'll buy replacements. You would think for a product dealing with nail polish, they could have designed them to be at least somewhat remover-safe - especially when non-acetone polishes are being used.

Rated 3 out of 5 by sohoskirt from great dots, bad line The dotting tool is great. It does take practice, but then it's just ace. The line tool is lacking, however, in both design & quality in my opinion. Mine was as if it's several fibers that are glued together at both ends (the handle end and the tip if you will) but loose in the middle, and my results are what you'd expect with a brush like that - inconsistently thick & thin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisapoo23 from Love the dotting tool I just used my dotting tool for the first time because I wanted to try a pattern I saw online and I think it works great! You should put a big glob of the polish off of the brush onto a piece of aluminum foil and use it from there, its less messy and doesn't waste polish.
Date published: 2014-09-04
Rated 2 out of 5 by GJUT from Dot your I's but wont cross your T's Dotting tool works great, I just need a steadier hand. My striping tool is fraying, and will not produce a decent clean line at all. I'm really disappointed int he quality of it and worry that like many have said, it will "melt" when I go to clean it to use a different color.

A doping scandal with a difference hit racing?s headlines this week. It seemed a familiar tale: the ninth example since 1990 of a post-race urine test finding traces of the so-called ? stopping ? drug, ACP or acetylpromazine.
The twist is that the horse ? Hachty Boy ? trotted up to win by 11 lengths.
ACP has a reputation as the race-fixer?s drug of choice ? the stopping method in cases as infamous as Norwich, Bravefoot and Flying Diva in 1990 or Avanti Express and Lively Knight in 1997.
But, in fact, this fast-acting tranquilliser is in everyday use at training yards throughout the country. It is used to calm fractious horses, particularly when being shod or clipped.
Some trainers even exercise their nerviest horses on ACP, although this is frowned upon by the Jockey Club who argue it merely obscures a temperament problem that can then emerge unchecked on the racecourse.
But you wouldn?t think ACP was in such common use from what?s said about it.
At the time of the police?s racefixing investigation into Avanti Express and Lively Knight, one reason given why the jockeys on board couldn?t have been involved was that nobody would knowingly get on a horse dosed with ACP. Not so. It all depends on the level of dosage, of course, but if you hire out a horse for a day?s hunting, there?s a good chance it will be on ACP.
The Jockey Club has always been open about this.
During one of its recent unannounced spot-checks, 500 ACP tablets were found at one trainer?s yard.
There?s no problem with this, provided meticulous medication records are kept.
Henrietta Knight, the trainer of Hachty Boy, keeps just such records. They tell her that ACP has never been administered to this six-year-old gelding, even though she describes him as a ?very nervous horse?.
She said: ?We only use ACP, in paste form, for clipping purposes. ?That paste is kept locked up in my house.
?Only I know where it is and only I have access to it.
?But, precisely because Hachty Boy is so nervous, we don?t clip his head but only as far as his neck.
?I checked my documents when the Jockey Club told me the test result. I know for a fact we have never used ACP on that horse.
?Besides, the race was in May when all horses are wearing beautiful summer coats. We won?t have clipped any horse after February.?
Knight is satisfied ACP could not have been administered en route to the racecourse, but the Wetherby management is adamant its security was not lacking.
Racecourse stabling security does vary from track to track ? some would do well to check out, say, Cheltenham?s example. But cleanliness may also be an issue.
We don?t yet know how much ACP was in Hachty Boy?s system. ?The result hasn?t even been ratified by tests on the back-up sample, but given the drug?s common legal usage, it may pay to bear in mind the experience of Henry Cecil.
Last year, his filly A Bit Special tested positive for the prohibited painkiller, flunixin.
But it emerged the most likely explanation was that she somehow picked up traces of it in the stable area at Thirsk racecourse.
Given how competitive Hachty Boy?s race was ? meaning a racefixer couldn?t be certain who?d win by getting at just one horse ? the evidence suggests this was a freak occurrence. Albeit not as freakish as it first sounds.
Hills looks set to have a stormerLambourn has a strong hand in Saturday?s feature event, Ascot?s King George VI and the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes.
It promises to be the Flat race of the year so far. Nayef represents Marcus Tregoning, accompanied by pacemaker Sir Effendi. Barry Hills saddles Storming Home, who ran the race of his life to finish fourth to Galileo in last year?s renewal.
You can still get 20-1 with Blue Square about Storming Home. He will again get the strong pace on which he thrives and has run encouragingly this season, without winning. He can do a whole lot better now the Hills stable has hit form.
It?s unseasonal to speak of their jumping neighbours, but I can reveal one of their number is staying in Lambourn rather than joining the exodus that is threatening to turn this National Hunt stronghold into just another flat racing centre.
Oliver Sherwood?s fortunes have declined since the days of Large Action and his numbers have tumbled from around 80 to just 45. He was finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet at his base at Rhonehurst, but a mysterious benefactor has stepped forward.
This international businessman ? with no current racing connections ? plans to live in Rhonehurst House and lease the yard to Sherwood.
Sherwood said: ?I adore Lambourn and was loathe to think of leaving, but it was a business decision. Now it?s all systems go. I?ve had a couple of quiet seasons and you?re only as good as your last winner. I?ve finally got two or three useful horses for next season.?
So look out for Claymore, Monkerhostin and Rodolfo.
