"What wind brings you here? Is it the Levante or the Poniente?" This sounds like a cheesy pickup line, but we dare you to try and see if it works if you ever find yourself in Tarifa amidst the thriving kitesurfing community on Spain's South-East tip. The only thing is, you should know (or at least pretend to know) what you are talking about. The Levante or wind from the east is a warm wind that blows in offshore. It can reach 8-9 Beaufort in strength and intensity, which is too much to handle. The Poniente, on the other hand, blows from the west, is cooler and can reach around 2-5 Beaufort, which is ideal for kitesurfing - and guess what - the Poniente is the predominant wind in Tarifa, turning this amazing place into a kitesurfing Mecca not just in Spain but globally!
Now that you know the basics about the Tarifa winds, let's talk about the good stuff: some of the best spots for kitesurfing that will blow your mind and kite away.
Los Lances Norte (North) never disappoints a kite lover. The beach is wide and sandy, free from rocks - an ideal spot for beginners and experts alike. When the Poniente blows, the spot gives perfect conditions. When the Levante kicks in, the conditions can get dangerous, so better be careful with those side offshore winds - ride only if you are an expert and preferably with boat back up. With the Poniente being the prevalent wind in the area, you will not run out of opportunities to kitesurf in the best conditions and there is also a beach bar, where you can relax, meet fellow kitesurfers and make new friends! Maybe this is why Los Lances Norte is Max's, a Professional Kiteboarder from Tarifa, the top recommendation for the area. Have a look at his insider's information.

Playa de los Lances Norte is the best beach for teaching kitesurfing - good for all levels. Then, Caños de la Meca, about 40 minutes away from Tarifa in the direction of Cadiz, a great wave spot. And when the wind its too strong, in Tarifa for advanced riders. Balneario is a great flat water spot, which in the summertime is only open for riding from 19:00 - only for advanced riders, as well.
You should visit Playa de Bolonia and the Roman ruins, Tarifa old town, and the castle. Take a day trip to Tanger, do some whale watching in the Gibraltar strait and you can also do some amazing downhill mountain biking!
When coming to Tarifa you have to try the local red Tuna, The best place to try it is the bar El Fances or Silos. For a drink at night, try La Tribu (also nice pizza, and great surf ambiance), Surf Bar and Exit bar in the old town.
Caños de Meca is the beautiful but rather challenging beach for advanced and pro riders. Especially when a strong Levante blows in the area, you should be extra careful. Make sure you feel comfortable riding upwind before you try out the amazing thrills this beach can offer you. Oh! And though the beach is sandy, watch out for some rocks. Caños de la Meca is situated around 60km away from Tarifa and there is a small beach bar, where you can take a break and have a chat with other mates. Meanwhile, here is what Stance Kiteboarding Magazine has to say about this kite spot and the area of Tarifa.

Tarifa is the kiteboarding Mecca in Europe, the wind is blowing pretty often, spots are working with almost every wind direction and, god, do we have to talk about the nightlife? For us, the best spot to ride is the lagoon, as it's perfect for some freestyle action. We also are much in love with Caños de Meca, which offers a beautiful wave riding playground (and sunset spot).
There are too many nice places to have fun in Tarifa… Drinking a mojito at the Taco Way, dancing all night at the famous La Ruina… you will necessarily find your happiness!
Do not forget your smallest kite and some headache pills!
Playa de Valdevaqueros is very quickly accessible from the town of Tarifa, as it is only 8 km away. When the Levante wind blows, it is the perfect time to visit this beach and fly that kite! Incredible turquoise waters, fine white sand and quite a lot of space for everyone, make it a perfect kitesurf spot. You can also find some kitesurf schools and bars along this amazing beach, which usually offers a view of lots of kites in the air and a super good vibe!
This beach is the personal favorite of Pablo Amores and Nieves Alba. Check out their insiders' input about Tarifa.
Pablo AmoresKitesurfer, Cofounder of @wamerclothing

My favorite spot in Tarifa for strapless is Valdevaqueros and for wave riding is Arte y vida.
Depends on the season, I really recommend whale watching and also visit Baelo Claudia ruins in Bolonia. Also, Gibraltar is close to here so when it's no wind is a good option to not get bored.
For eating, especially for breakfast, you cannot miss Power House - it is on the main road to Valdevaqueros. Also in the night, a good place to have a good typical food is Los Melli. For pizza go to La tribu and ask for a chicken-curry-cream pizza. To take a drink, before 11, you have really nice cocktails at Taco Way and don't miss Mambo for partying a bit, but if you are ready to go harder you cannot miss Cafe Del Mar.

My favorite place to ride in Tarifa is Valdevaqueros and it is an obligatory stop to eat in a small field called El Hormiguero
A beautiful place to be is the dunes of Bolonia
Situated only 200m from the Tarifa harbor, this spot is perfect for advanced and expert kite surfers. The beach and the seabed are both sandy, but there are some rocks, not visible with high tide, to be aware of. Poniente hits this spot almost half of the days, while Levante the other half. Keep in mind that kitesurfing is not permitted on this beach during high season, from the 15th of June until the 15th of September. But look on the bright side: the rest of the days, the people visiting will most probably be fellow kite surfers! There are two bars, where you can lay back and enjoy yourself between sessions! Check out what Tarifa Natural Surf had to say about this beach and other spots!
Tarifa Natural Surf
Instagram: @natural_surf_tarifaWebsite: tarifanaturalsurfhouse.com
Our favorite spot for kitesurfing during east wind is Balneario, a bit risky but with nice flat water and strong wind. With waves and west wind we prefer Arte Vida because the rocky bottom creates nice and long waves.
If you come to Tarifa you cannot miss visiting the big sand dune and Punta Paloma beach. Walk from Punta Paloma to the town of Bolonia and see the Strait from one of the Panoramas spots in the mountain nearby Tarifa.
To eat nice and for homemade food, you can visit Tarifa Natural Surf Club. We offer international and vegan cuisine, yoga, a swimming pool and more. Also, at the beach, you can have some nice food with a view of the ocean. In town, there are several Spanish style tapas restaurants, cocktail bars and entertainment for all ages.
Fellow adventurers, whether it will be Levante or Poniente messing with your hair, one thing is for sure: Tarifa is the place to be for kitesurfing. The kitesurf spots are plenty, the conditions almost always perfect, there are beaches suitable for all levels and the groove is chilled. Moreover, you are in Spain, good food and good vibes are guaranteed! Should we say more? Just visit our website and #FindYourNextAdventure.

Travelling is exciting - new experiences open up new horizons and sometimes make such an impact that entirely changes the way the traveller thinks about the world. It can be the best way to eliminate "prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness" as Mark Twain put it. But there is a catch!
Have you ever thought about the carbon footprint you leave behind when you travel?
Jumbo Mountain has a story, a tale to tell. Somewhat unknown to us in Europe, but for the locals of Jumbo glacier and those living in the area, the question of this "resort" no matter what side you are on, is everything. The development plans for this resort for some mean innovation, jobs and expansion and for other it means the destruction of the environment and native land. Thrillism wants to bring the story from both sides to you.
If you spend any time it the backcountry, anywhere in the world, skiing, hiking, climbing etc then you need to read this article.
That's why we wanted to touch base (pun intended) with the incredible folks at Air Zermatt, where their unmissable red helicopters are flown over our favourite mountain with a knowing and watchful eye, leading us to a massive amount of curiosity about the work they do and how meaningful it is to all of us who are passionate about the mountains.

Due to concerns about the status, trends, and escapement of Hoh River Chinook salmon, Olympic National Park is closing the Hoh River watershed to recreational fishing effective tomorrow. The fishing closure includes those portions of the upper Hoh River, South Fork Hoh River, all tributaries, and the Hoh River mouth within Olympic National Park.
The Hoh River mouth will be closed to recreational fishing from May 19 through August 31.The Hoh River, South Fork Hoh River, and their tributaries will be closed from May 19 through October 31.
This emergency closure is designed to maximize the protection of wild spring/summer Chinook salmon in Olympic National Park. The state and tribal forecast for spring/summer Chinook is expected to be below the escapement floor of 900 adults. Escapement refers to the number of Chinook that escape commercial and recreational fisheries and reach spawning grounds. Hoh River spring/summer Chinook have failed to meet the escapement floor in seven of the last eight years. Spawning for this unique wild population primarily occurs in Olympic National Park.
"The National Park Service seeks to provide diverse recreational fishing opportunities while ensuring the preservation and restoration of native fish," said Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum."However, with the run size at low numbers it is critical to provide additional protection for Chinook."
While the Hoh River watershed is closed, anglers are encouraged to explore other areas in the park for fishing.
Olympic National Park sport fishing regulations for 2015-2016 are now available on the park's website at https://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/fishing.htm, as well as at park visitor centers, fee booths, ranger stations, and area fishing stores.

Specialized in the design, R&D, manufacturing, and sales of aluminum curtain wall materials
Specialized in the design, R&D, manufacturing, and sales of aluminum curtain wall materials
There are two types of specifications: aluminum veneers with a thickness of less than 1.2 mm are called aluminum gussets (also called aluminum slabs), and aluminum veneers with a thickness of 1.5 mm or more are called aluminum veneers. The indoor aluminum veneer generally adopts (hook-up type), which is simple and convenient to install, can reduce the cost of manual installation, and can better reflect the overall flatness and perfect effect. The curtain wall is made of high-quality high-strength aluminum alloy plate, and its common thickness. It is 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0MM, model is 3003, and the status is H24. Its structure is mainly composed of panels, ribs and corner codes. The corner code can be bent or stamped directly from the panel, or it can be angled on the small side of the panel. The welding of the ribs and the surface of the board and the screws (the screws are directly welded to the back of the board) make it a solid whole, which greatly enhances the strength and rigidity of the aluminum veneer curtain wall, ensuring long-term
Flatness in use and resistance to wind and earthquake. If sound insulation is required, efficient sound insulation can be installed inside the aluminum plate.

I tried to avoid it; I really did. I didn't like it and I didn't want to deal with it. Yet, I knew that if I didn't deal with it now I'd regret it for years to come. So I faced it. I engaged. I chose to enter into conflict….with my preschooler.
I remember the years in which trying to set rules and boundaries with my little ones was more challenging than any other challenge I ever tackled. I really didn't look forward to saying things like, "Bedtime is in 5 minutes", or "No, you may not eat that bag of cookies", let alone – "Stop painting the dog white with the house paint!" and my favorite, "You will not spoon feed your little brother a bag of powdered sugar and spill it all over the carpet!"
While I was wrestling over house paint and powdered sugar (which, by the way, is impossible to get out of carpet after children and a 100-pound Golden Retriever walked all over it), today's parent wrangles over a less-messy yet more potent problem. Cumulative screen time for children in early childhood (children under the age of 5) has potential harmful effects which negatively affect a child's development.
In a recent study of 2,441 children*, too much screen time before the age of 2 affects the results of developmental testing in these same children when they are 3-years-old. Consistent with these findings, 3-year-olds who have experienced excessive screen time show decreased developmental outcomes at the age of 5. Bottom line, research shows that young children should not engage in more than 1 hour of cumulative screen time in a day. So practically, the cartoon before the play date, the iPad in the grocery store, and the computer game after dinner all add up to cumulative screen time. When you add all the screen time together, you don't want to exceed 60 minutes (1 hour) a day.
How difficult is it for parents to abide by these wise guidelines? Extremely. Often when children are engaging with a device it provides them an instant gratification, and as such they are likely to have a strong pull toward playing or watching it again and again. Like us, children can easily get hooked on screen time.
How do parents deal with the inevitable conflict that will result if they set and enforce limits on their child's screen time?
- Conflict should not be avoided and should be handled with gentleness and patience. Limiting screen time will be disappointing for the child and may result in conflict, but it is also an opportunity to engage in discussion, spend time together, and teach the qualities of patience and delayed gratification. Help the child identify their disappointment and give them the emotional and verbal skills needed to express their feelings constructively to find alternative activities.
- Children learn best through movement; they are kinesthetic learners as much as visual ones. Playing with hands-on games, puzzles, and blocks engages their brain in ways a screen never could. Parents and caregivers alike can work toward understanding the stages of cognitive development of a child and what it takes to maximize a child's potential for cognitive functions (critical thinking, decision making, creative solutions, etc.) by playing with their children and providing toys that require small and large motor movement.
- Effective social learning, which takes place when eye contact is made in person, cannot be replaced with screen time. Parents are encouraged not to "underestimate the value of face-to-face time" in which children learn how to empathize, express emotion, read facial and other nonverbal clues, and learn vocal as well as verbal communication. Quality time is any time that parents and children are paying attention, listening, talking, and engaging with one another. Every day moments matter!
- Setting boundaries on screen time is best done early in the child's development. A habit of non-screen time is a habit best started when the child is young and kept consistently as they grow. Not only will the child's potential for development be maximized, a child is never too young to start a life-long pattern of self-discipline in regard to technology use.
- Encourage children to explore and be curious. Screen time often makes problem-solving and entertainment too easily accessible. Challenging children to work to overcome boredom or solve their problems engages the child in critical thinking, delayed gratification, and innovative creativity.
Dear Reader, I have a hunch that research will continue to show us the dangers of cumulative screen time. How can we help parents realize the dangers of setting their child in front of the screen too often? Consider passing on this blog post to the parents of preschoolers you know; join them in thinking through what and when screen time could be used in their home. At the same time, this is a great opportunity for each of us to take a serious look at how much time we spend in front of a screen. We can't influence the Next Generation if we are not self-aware of how we ourselves are using screens. We can also thoughtfully consider how much face-to-face time we may be inadvertently giving up by picking up our screens without thinking through what we are giving up by picking them up. How precious is the time we get to spend in each other's company without the distraction of a screen!
Many blessings as you seek to uses screen time wisely for you and your children.
Fondly yours, Elizabeth

1. Searching for Fiona Riches:
- ACT Policing and SES volunteers are continuing the search for a 46-year-old diabetic woman who went missing from her Garran house about 3pm on Monday (April 6).
Police hold grave concerns for Fiona Riches welfare given her dependency on insulin, putting her at serious risk of falling into a diabetic coma if she does not receive her medication.
Police have focused the search on Garran and surrounding areas, including Hughes, Phillip, Mount Taylor and Red Hill. The Snowy Hydro Southcare helicopter has also been used to conduct aerial sweeps of the search areas using infra-red technology.
Police have begun to distribute a poster featuring a photograph and details of the missing woman to homes and businesses in the Garran area in an attempt to gain information from the public.
Anyone who sees this woman is urged to contact police immediately on 131 444.
2. 'Roids, weed and ice in Chisholm:
- ACT Policing will summons a 25-year-old woman and a 19-year-old man to appear before the ACT Magistrates Court following a search warrant at a house in Chisholm today (April 9).
The operation was conducted around 5.45am using resources from a number of areas of ACT Policing including detectives from the Territory Investigations Group (TIG) and officers from Special Response and Security (SRS), Tuggeranong Patrol and the K9 Team.
As a result a number of items were seized including a trafficable amount of a suspected amphetamine type substance, a small amount of plant material suspected to be cannabis, a quantity of suspected steroids and stolen items including laptop computers, motor vehicle parts, cameras and camera parts.
Both alleged offenders will be summonsed to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court on a date to be fixed.

There is a workshop in Chardon that buzzes with high energy and focus. That's what it takes to accomplish some amazing projects dedicated to bringing a sense of connection between inmates in Cuyahoga County jails, who are indigent, and people who care about them.
Sisters gather in a large community room, walking with canes, wheelchairs, and walkers. Some a little slower than usual since they may have just had their chemo treatment, or are ailing from some illness. They come to help someone else in need. These past two months the projects have been for prison inmates.
Sister Rita Mary Harwood, SND, who facilitates the Ministry to the Incarcerated throughout the 8 counties of the diocese, asked the sisters to fill 6,000 envelopes with 2 sheets of writing paper and a stamped envelope, to give to the inmates at the Cuyahoga County jail. The project enables those who have no one sending them some money for supplies while in jail to have paper and a stamp, to write to their family or lawyer.
Sister Agnesmarie LoPorto, SND, the Activity Director of the Assisted Living Health Care, coordinates the project. As they were sitting together, busy stuffing envelopes, she told the sisters, "I don't think anyone else in the province helped 6,000 people in one day but you did!"
Several days later Sister Mary Dion Horrigan, SND, asked the Sisters to put together 75 Christmas treat bags for the Community Assessment Treatment Center in Cuyahoga County, a center for women who are addicted and receiving treatment. Sr. Dion explained the women receive the treat bag so that when their children come to visit them, they will have a Christmas gift to give.
Finally, the sisters wrote Christmas cards to 12 inmates who never receive mail. They signed 6 Christmas cards for each inmate. One card per week is mailed so each inmate receives 6 cards by Christmas. These cards may be the only gift the inmate will receive.
Sr. Rita Mary told the story of a son who used the envelope and notepaper to send his mom a long note saying he was sorry. He told her she raised him better and that he made the mistake, not her. He told her how much he loved her. Overwhelmed by his message, the mom, in the middle of snowy December, took a chair, went outside by the statue of the Blessed Mother in her garden, sat down and weeping, read the letter to the Blessed Mother. She told Sr. Rita Mary the Blessed Mother would understand because she was the mother of a prisoner too.

How Government Funding of Science Works
Sunday, May 4, 2008 - 17:42 in Psychology & Sociology
Recently, on the NSF news web page, a study (with Black participants) found that the Achievement Gap in Math and Science is closing. In light of the dialogue concerning the sewer study in black neighborhoods, I realize there is a huge misunderstanding about government funding research. I hope to set the record straight. Most of our nation's (and most other nations, too) science, technological, and engineering innovations are funded with public money. read more

On March 17, the McGill Martlets (14-6) fell short in the U Sports National Championship game, losing 1-0 to the Guelph Gryphons (19-3-3) to place second in the nation. With a successful, silver-medal season now in the books, The McGill Tribune provides a season in review, looking back at the Martlets' successful year.
The U Sports championship tournament began for the Martlets on March 15, when they defeated the St. Thomas Tommies (22-5-1) in a 10-2 quarterfinal rout. On the following day, a late goal from second-year forward Stephanie Desjardins sent McGill to the championship game with a win over the number-one ranked Alberta Pandas (23-5). Unfortunately, the Martlets' efforts came up just short in the final game of the season, and an early second period goal carried the Gryphons to a 1-0 victory and the national title.
In addition to a silver medal, the Martlets received a number of other awards at the national championship tournament; with five points and four assists, third-year centre Jade Downie-Landry was named the tournament MVP and earned a spot on the championship all-tournament team along with first-year centre Valerie Audet. Additionally, four of the tournament's top five scorers were Martlets, and third-year goaltender Tricia Deguire posted the second best save percentage of all goalies.
En route to the championship tournament, McGill put together a 14-6 regular season campaign to finish third in the RSEQ standings behind the Université de Montréal (UdeM) Carabins (15-4-1) and Concordia Stingers (13-4-2). In the first round of the RSEQ playoffs, McGill faced Concordia in a best-of-three series. The Martlets took a 6-2 road win in the first game and completed an incredible comeback on home ice to secure the series victory. The opening match of the championship series against UdeM went to double overtime, but, unfortunately, the Carabins came out victorious by a score of 3-2. UdeM won by the same score the next day to complete the sweep and claim the conference title. However, because the Martlets were fifth in the U Sports rankings, they still advanced to the championship tournament in Charlottetown, PEI for the chance to compete against the best hockey teams in Canada.
Martlet Head Coach Peter Smith praised the team's dedication and passion throughout the season.
"Honestly, I couldn't be prouder of our group," Smith said after the championship match. "Over the years, I've been privileged to have so many good teams with great character, and this team ranks right up there with the best of them. [It is] a special group that worked hard all season. Not many people outside of our dressing room would have thought that we were going to get this far. We battled from start to finish. There was no quit on this team."
Beyond their postseason performances, four Martlet players were recognized for their standout play throughout the regular season, with both conference and national awards. Downie-Landry, who had 45 points and a team-high 32 assists, and Deguire made the RSEQ first team all-league and second team all-Canadian. Second-year forward Kellyane Lecours and fourth-year defenceman Emilia Cotter were named to the second team all-league. Additionally, Cotter won the RSEQ Leadership Award for her community engagement with organizations such as the Shoebox Project and The McGill Students for Best Buddies as well as for her coordination of McGill Athletics initiatives like the Bell Let's Talk Game.
In addition to the award winners, several other Martlets had strong campaigns: Third-year forward Lea Dumais led McGill in goals with 21 in 37 games; second-year centre Marika Labrecque finished with eight goals and 17 assists; and fourth-year defenceman Kate Devries, who had 12 assists, was a crucial defensive presence all season long.
Captain and fifth-year defenceman Alison Mackenzie is the only Martlet player graduating this year. The team will miss her defensive talent and leadership, but, if this season's results are any indication of what is to come, the Martlets should have another successful year ahead of them.

Click here for Extension Stock Spring Tolerances and Engineering Notes.
Overview: EXTENSION SPRINGS are attached at both ends to other components.
When these components move apart, the spring tries to bring them together again. Extension springs absorb and store energy as
well as create a resistance to a pulling force. It is initial tension that determines how tightly together an extension spring
is coiled. This initial tension can be manipulated to achieve the load requirements of a particular application. Extension Springs
are wound to oppose extension. They are often tightly wound in the no-load position and have hooks, eyes, or other interface geometry
at the ends to attach to the components they connect. They are frequently used to provide return force to components that extend in the actuated position.
Applications: Applications for extension springs include automotive interiors and exteriors,
garage door assemblies, vise-grip pliers, carburetors, trampolines, washing devices, farm machinery, toys as well as
thousands of other uses. Extension springs come in a wide array of sizes, from small medical devices to off-road machinery
brake springs.
Configurations: Lee Spring's Stock Extension Springs are supplied with full diameter loops
(either machine or crossover center) at a random position. Loop openings are approximately one wire diameter and the
direction of wind is optional. Lee Stock Extension Springs are available in both Inch and Metric designs. If exact direction of helix is required, Custom Extension Springs can be made to
specification. To fit the function of extension springs, a multitude of hook or loop configurations may be specified.
Close winding of the body provides initial tension in the spring to help manipulate the load and rate.

Athleisure nowadays is as ubiquitous as oxygen, but how does one define Athleisure fashion and where did it come from? One attempt is to describe it as workout gear, that is used for non-gym related activities. As a day to day 'run-around' outfit, this has resulted in women and men peppered across the worlds high streets and coffee shops clad in the latest sport-luxe trend.
Initial roots lie in the infamous yoga brand Lululemon. At the time the brand brought comfort to workout gear and an element of style to the world of yoga, naturally, its practicality and distinct chic aesthetic meant that post-yoga class, you were no longer required to change your outfit. This saw women wander out of the gym and into coffee shops, visiting retail shops and running errands. Naturally, the outfit that was once reserved for the inner sanctum of the Yoga studio became socially acceptable to wear on the street. The growing popularity of the efficiency of staying in your gym outfit became the definition of 'lazy-chic' and as a result athleisure fashion exploded resulting in brands changing tact and the introduction of the athleisure designer.
But a lot of the hype of athleisure is rooted in a word that has come to dominate the health sector over the last decade… Wellness. Emphasis on wellness grew from medical to psychological and the introduction of athleisure trends meant women and men found themselves wearing clothing even on non-gym days. Why? Well there are a few reasons but one is the feeling that athleisure gear provides, It subconsciously promotes positive thinking associated with post-exercise, and acts as a visual reminder of the importance of exercise in one's life, in turn, improving confidence.
So when did athleisure wear turn into athleisure fashion?
Long t-shirts to wear with leggings and how to style cycling shorts became two terms clogging up both conversation and internet search engines. And we can thank Kim Kardashian for this, despite setting the cycle short trend a couple of years ago, she seems to be constantly returning to the look. Only recently on March 28, she was spotted in Los Angeles wearing an athleisure outfit; black windbreaker, Yeezy 2XU cycling shorts and Yeezy Calabasas neon trainers.
Now traditional sporting brands tapped into the Athleisure rise by signing up influencers to dominate market share in both the battle for athleisurewear and streetwear, as Reebok signed Gigi Hadid in 2018, Adidas hired Kylie Jenner away Puma. Furthermore juxtaposing collaborations have sparked, resulting in Fendi x Fila and the installation of Virgil Abloh of as creative director at Louis Vuitton.
Its official comfort is chic and now you can be on the point whether your roll out of bed or from the yoga studio, you can wander around Bond Street to 5th Avenue like its no one's business. So the question is what brand are you going to try?

i work for a law firm downtown. not a large firm but not a small firm either. lots of people like to qualify my firm as "mid-size," which really covers quite a large spectrum.
my firm's relatively young and most of the individuals i work with are close to my age, which makes for a relatively collegiate work environment. but a young firm, while great for happy hours and discourse, can also be a reminder of how douche-y my generation can be.
our offices have thin walls, so i tend to hear my neighbor's conversations. and, good or bad, my neighbor tends to take care of a lot of personal business in his office. i often hear him making/confirming dinner reservations, chatting with friends or family, and other daily activities.
at this very moment, he and another of my co-workers are "shooting the shit" in his office. the 2 "bros" are rehashing their weekend and whatnot. i can't help but overhear some of their conversation and the sheer amount of eye-rolling i'm doing would probably freak somebody out if they happened to peek into my office because they'd probably think my eyes consist only of the white parts.
here's the general topic of conversation:
1. their weekend
2. the trendy/hipster restaurants they ate at this weekend
3. the food at these restaurants
4. restaurants they want to eat at
5. how to get reservations at these restaurants
6. how they got the hookup/know somebody at certain restaurants
7. the recent Mad Men episode
8. how amazing Mad Men is
9. how it's "kind of like our lives"
10. how they worship those guys on Mad Men
it's not just the topics that they're talking about (although how can anyone talk this long about all of that to another person?) but also the tone that they're talking in. it's so smarmy and pretentious. i feel like i'm listening to frat boys who think they've got class (hmm, too harsh?). at this point my eyes started hurting so i decided to write this post instead of inflicting potentially serious physical harm on my body from eye-rolls.

Toughened safety glass provides architects and specifiers the ability to fully unleash the beauty and functionality of glass whilst conforming to the latest building regulations.
The toughening process dramatically increases the mechanical strength of glass by up to five times the equivalent thickness in annealed glass. In the event of breakage toughened safety glass does not shard like ordinary glass but instead fragments into small generally blunt pieces providing reduced risk of injury.
All our toughened safety glass is produced in accordance with BS EN 12150-2:2004 Glass in Building. Our factory and production controls are fully compliant with all the latest regulations and MI Glass are proud to have been awarded BSI Kitemark™ accreditation for our safety glass.
To further ensure the quality of our product we only source from well-established Glass Manufactures such as Pilkington and Saint Gobain whose products conform to BS EN 572.
Technical Specifications
Maximum Size 4600 x 2100
Thickness Range 4mm to 19mm
Mi Glass will always recommend that heat treated glass in safety critical locations such as partitions and overhead balustrades is heat soak tested to reduce the possibility of spontaneous breakage.
All our heat soak products are tested in accordance with EN 14179-1.
This involves placing toughened glass inside a testing chamber and raising the temperature to approximately 290°C. The glass in then held at this temperature for a period of time thus accelerating NiS expansion and causing any affected panels to break in the testing chamber.

Maximum Sizes 3000 x 1600
