Having a beautiful home is one of the best investments you can have. Your home is the place you go to after an exhausting day at work and it’s where you spend time with family. Having a modernized home is the most satisfying feeling in the world. If you’re worried
A Fence is an outdoor physical structure that helps provide an enclosure for an area. While it can be used for various purposes, one major purpose is to demarcate an area as a way of preventing encroachment. They can be constructed from posts and connected with wire, rails, netting, or boards. There are different styles as well as types and they can be made with different materials too. The type and material that you choose will depend largely on what you want to achieve with it. Common styles include: Chain link Split rail Kentucky post and board Privacy fence Wood picket, etc. Common materials for making fences include Wood Aluminum PVC Wrought Iron Electric Bamboo You can read more about them here. Why You Should Install One Installing a fence on your property can have many benefits. Asides the aesthetics and curb appeal that it adds to the property, below are some other reasons you may want to do so. Privacy Most people who live on or own their property usually like privacy. Whatever you choose to do whether swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying time with family, you want to be sure that no one is watching you or trespassing. Installing a fence affords you the privacy you need in your home. Security This is perhaps the main reason a lot of people invest in fencing their property. No one wants an intruder encroaching on their property or home whether it is a criminal or any other wandering soul. You may also live in an area with close proximity to wildlife and do not want them coming into your yard. A good fence will help prevent all of these. Safety For families with kids and pets, fencing off your home is important as you do not want them wondering off your premises. It will keep them in the confines of your yard, preventing them from wandering off. For your pets such as dogs, it can help keep them from getting lost or contracting diseases from outside and bringing such back to your home. It can also help to prevent accidents, such as drowning, if you have a body of water in your backyard. Establishing Boundaries To avoid trespassing on your land either by accident or intentionally, rather than getting upset or worked up about it, you can put up a fence to mark your boundaries. You can establish the start as well as the end of your land and avoid any form of dispute. It also lets you know how much space you have so that you can work within the boundary of your space and not also encroach on other people’s land. Beautifying Your Home Usually, fences are built for utility purposes but that is not to say they cannot be beautiful. As soon as you decide to construct one, part of the groundwork is choosing a type and design that will complement your home. Asides other reasons for putting one up, you may simply put one up to add to your home’s appeal and value. What to Know Before Installation Despite your reasons for wanting to install a fence, depending on where you live, there might be things you need to put into consideration before doing.

GHD, one of the world’s leading professional services companies, is pleased to announce that it has been appointed by Transport for London (TfL) as its Traffic Engineering Support Partner to support the delivery of feasibility and concept design packages for projects within its Roads, Streets and Places department’s cycling portfolio. Notably, GHD will help develop the feasibility design for Cycle Future Route 15 (CFR 15), which will link Streatham to Oval and is one of 25 routes identified by TfL as having the highest potential demand for cycling in London. CFR 15 is part of TfL’s Healthy Streets Approach, a system of policies and strategies to deliver a healthier, more inclusive city where people choose to walk, cycle and use public transport, in line with the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. Work has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic as part of TfL’s new Streetspace for London programme, which aims to create more space for people to safely walk or cycle as London emerges from the coronavirus lockdown, in order to avoid a car-based recovery. Following a competitive tender process, GHD was appointed to TfL’s four-year Traffic Engineering Support Partner Framework on account of its specialist sector experience, which includes developing financially viable multi-modal road design solutions, road and traffic safety, and traffic modelling. As TfL’s exclusive Traffic Engineering Support Partner, GHD has mobilised quickly on the project and will provide dedicated resource over the next four years. The GHD team has been assembled from across the company’s global network and is centered around TfL’s specific requirements. A combined TfL and GHD team have recently worked on designs for the A23 Streatham Hill Healthy Streets scheme, where the primary objective is to bring about a ‘step change’ in the street design and public realm quality. This is mainly being achieved by enabling informal pedestrian crossings to help improve accessibility, while also providing cycling infrastructure and addressing vehicles’ speed. Working in collaboration with Lambeth Council, TfL and GHD prepared multiple preliminary and feasibility designs to achieve this along a 1km stretch of the A23 Streatham Hill. Special considerations were given to mitigating the impact of the scheme on bus journey times and ensuring that the design of the crossings was inclusive for mobility and visually impaired users. The TfL and GHD team will now develop CFR 15 feasibility designs between Oval Station and Pendennis Road in Streatham over the next six months to April 2021. The team will also design temporary cycle lanes that will be instated along the entire length of CFR 15 to encourage more walking and cycling in the current COVID-19 environment. GHD has a long and successful track record of working with TfL, having previously been awarded contracts under its Transport Planning & Impact Monitoring, Engineering, and Project Management Frameworks. Craig Adams, TfL Client Account Director and Traffic Engineering Team Leader at GHD, said: “We are delighted to be supporting TfL’s design team once again, as work on Cycle Future Route 15 kicks off at an accelerated pace on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. This route will be an important addition to London’s cycling infrastructure, which is playing a more vital role than ever before on account of social distancing requirements on the public transport network. It has never been more important to get Londoners out walking and cycling, and the Healthy Streets Approach is key to making this happen by improving the experience of being on London’s streets. We look forward to supporting TfL once again as it works to make the capital’s streets safer and more pleasant, with reduced pollution and enhanced accessibility, for the benefit of the wider London community.” With regards to the A23 Streatham Hill Healthy Streets scheme designs, Kieran Hutley, TfL’s Principal Sponsor, Lambeth – Network Sponsorship – Investment Delivery Planning, said: “Will Norman, the Mayor of London’s Walking & Cycling Commissioner, was very impressed that the combined TfL and GHD team had managed to reduce the bus journey time delays, as well as design a scheme with segregated cycle facilities and straight-across pedestrian crossings, achieving the TfL Healthy Streets objectives.”
A polytunnel makes an affordable and effective alternative to a greenhouse. They’re cheaper, more flexible, more mobile, and, since they’re soft, they aren’t vulnerable to damage from errant footballs. As such, they’ve found their way into gardens and allotments across the UK, where they allow the growing of fruits and vegetables of a sort that might require careful temperature-management. But, for all of their mobility, these are at least semi-permanent structures? Don’t they therefore need planning permission? The short answer is that, for most domestic gardens, you do not need planning permission. However, there are a few exceptions that you might need to worry about. If your polytunnel falls foul of any of the following rules of thumb, then it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll need to obtain planning permission – but it does mean that it’s a good idea to get in touch with your local planning authority to clear things up. Is Your Polytunnel too Tall? If your tunnel is more than 3m tall, then people in neighbouring gardens will be able to see it, and it might feasibly block out the sunlight for them. Get to four or five metres tall, and this problem becomes even worse; you don’t want to create an eyesore and annoy everyone, after all. Is Your Polytunnel too close to the Boundary? If your tunnel sits right next to the boundary, then height concerns will be even more pressing. If it’s taller than 2.5m and you want it flush against your fence, then it’s time to pick up the phone. Is your Polytunnel too Big? There are rules against appending an enormous extension to the rear of your home. If it’s covering more than half of the area around your house, then you might need to start worrying. Is your Polytunnel at the front of your House? A polytunnel that’s facing the street is going to be much more visible, and therefore (in theory) more objectionable. Sometimes, this is a necessity; in these cases, you’ll likely need permission. Is your Polytunnel on an allotment? In the case of allotments, you’ll probably have more to fear from the allotment committee than the planning restrictions. After all, sometimes the installation of a polytunnel can suck in energy which might otherwise reach neighbouring crops. What about Agricultural Land? If you’re running a farm, it might seem that you should be granted greater leeway. And most of the time, you are: if you want to keep sheep in a tunnel, you should be fine. However, if you’re altering the purpose of your farm (you’re clearing out all of your arable crops and keeping livestock instead) or applying for a grant, then you’ll probably need to seek planning permission.
THE IMPACT of Covid-19 on every aspect of life is undeniable. As the pandemic began to spread throughout March 2020, no one could have foretold the ways in which this disease would change society. One industry that has remained open throughout lockdown and been forced to quickly innovate is construction – and Matt Linekar and Stephen Moore from contractor Willmott Dixon have been at the forefront. Gone are the days where you could enjoy a concert surrounded by tens of thousands of people, or hug those outside of your household as a friendly greeting. Instead, we now live in a world of social distancing and masked outings. But the impact of Covid-19 isn’t just those changes staring us in the face. There are more subtle, underlying ramifications that are yet to be explored completely – such as alterations in building design. The question is, are Covid-related changes we are now seeing in building design here to stay, or a passing trend as the industry attempts to guide itself back to normality when the pandemic is over? A change in requirements One of the biggest changes in building design is the importance that is now being placed on ventilation. The need for proper circulation and fresh air to reduce the risk of contamination has never been more prominent – especially in the education sector where large groups of students must move around the building during regular intervals. This requirement also means that designers must think about the importance of flexibility to be able to purge the air in classrooms, and also consider window patterns and wall fans and their impact on the acoustics of these rooms. The care sector is another one that must adapt to changing times and, again, consider the importance of ventilation in communal areas or corridors that could be the hub of cross contamination. Many care homes are now drawing on primary care regimes and lobbying rooms to protect infected patients, altering facilities to increase the safety of both staff and residents. But, with providers in these sectors already struggling to source funds and a potential vaccine set to hit the UK in 2021, many of these measures may not be instigated. Stephen Moore, preconstruction manager at Willmott Dixon, said: “We have seen a variety in responses from our customers, with some not wanting to make significant, long-term changes to a problem that is deemed to be short-term. Cost management is key when it comes to these alterations, but many businesses are struggling to weigh up the short-term benefits with the financial impact that it can have on the outgoings of a project. “This response is being reflected by local authorities. Spatial problems are undeniable when discussing social distancing in schools, but councils don’t have the money, space or desire to make long-term changes to facilitate social distancing measures, and we are seeing many private sector companies take a similar stance. There is a focus for adapting operational policy rather than a significant change to buildings and the way they are designed to function.” Perfecting the process It’s not just the elements of design that have been impacted by Covid-19, but also the process in which these designs are created. The informal nature of construction sites means that social distancing is often hard to maintain. With a mountain of competing factors to contend with – such as the need for team work, the variety of jobs that have to be completed simultaneously and strict time scales that have to be adhered to – contractors have had to make dramatic changes to ensure staff stay socially distant while working on projects. This has meant for many firms, including Willmott Dixon, that focusing on off-site fabrication has helped the design process. Matt Linekar, head of building services at Willmott Dixon, said: “One of the key things that the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated is off-site manufacturing and the different ways in which we might be able to utilise modern methods of construction (MMC). “MMC is already a hot topic for the industry and the pandemic has simply enhanced this – and the last few months has given us the opportunity to explore the options in more detail and will no doubt continue to play a part in construction projects in the longer-term.” Long-term or short-term The construction industry is one that has never stopped working, so very quickly firms were forced to adopt new ways of working to help protect their teams and prevent the spread of Covid-19, all while ensuring that essential building projects did not stall. Matt added: “Distancing on site – and within the wider community – is probably here to stay, so as an industry we are having to find ways to accommodate that, but whether or not there will actually be long-term design implications remains to be seen. “The short-term response has been one of meeting practical challenges on sites and moving forwards with a different way of working, but the reality is that the construction industry is a very competitive marketplace – potentially even more so as the government has positioned the built environment at the forefront of the recovery strategy. “The government is encouraging a ‘build back better’ approach but there are inevitably cost implications associated with that and without legislation to demand improved standards and a force for change.” Should we change the approach to building design? There are potentially significant positives associated with a change in design focus, especially when you consider the environmental targets the UK is working towards and the impact more sustainable building would have. Stephen added: “Moving towards a focus on whole life cost is an important first step – but that will rely heavily on customers adopting a shift in mindset, thinking about overall value rather than initial outlay. It’s challenging, especially against a backdrop of a damaged economy and already stretched budgets, especially within the public sector. “Sustainability will be key, but that is something that has been put somewhat on the backburner for
There’s no denying the fact that games occupy an important place in our society. From the humble grandparents still playing Wii Fit to the young teens owning someone in Destiny 2 right now, games have a unique way of connecting us all. When it comes to playing games, every gamer has a different choice. Some love the immersive worlds of games, while others enjoy the social and competitive aspects of gaming. Some tend to play mobile games at https://www.theonlinecasino.co.uk/mobile-casino/ and other mobile casinos on the go, while others enjoy playing video games from the comfort of their home. Though there are differences between the gamer and the game, one truth runs through many, if not all games – And that is players get tense. Difficult or competitive games tend to be stressful sometimes, and when life deals you stress, it can be helpful to use a little bit of CBD as it will give you the benefits of a calmer body and mind while gaming. Here are the top four games to play on CBD. Teamfight Tactics Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is a round-based strategy game that pits you against seven opponents in a free-for-all race to build a powerful team that fights on your behalf. In TFT, new and stronger champions are released on the buying market to allow you to customize and create the best team possible. But the game gets frustrating when you are riding at the top of the rankings and slowly fall to the bottom as stronger teams spring from your opponents. In that case, having a CBD gummy and taking a deep breath can really help you. Knights of the Old Republic Developed by BioWare, Knight of the Old Republic (KOTOR) is a role-playing video game set in the Star Wars universe. This old game is a masterpiece and might arguably be the best Star Wars story ever created. In KOTOR, you start off as a random Joe Everyman, who wakes up on a ship in the middle of a galactic space battle. You need to escape and defend yourself quickly because there is an empire of enemies looking to kill you. There are some tough spots in the game, so a dash of CBD won’t hurt. Call of Duty: Mobile Call of Duty has been a triple AAA series for decades now, owing to its multiplayer functionality and the amazing customization features. If you’ve played Call of Duty before, you might be aware of the fact that knowing the maps better than your room is vital to performing better against top-tier players. Also, even a slight finch while turning a corner can leave you dead, so it is probably going to build stress. And this is where the role of CBD steps in. Fortnite Combining classic third-person-shooter gameplay with a clever sandbox building mechanic, Fortnite is one of the most exciting video games to play right now. In an attempt to attract gamers of all ages, Fortnite features game characters doing dances in various sequences, and various other things.

And this is where CBD will help you. *** BONUS GAME – Should you like to play a more strategy game them why don’t you try SpiderSolitaireMasters and enjoy your time.
Music can transform you, physically and emotionally. A variety of experiments have been done to validate how music affects us at a neurological stage. It can shape our understanding of reality, influence our actions and influence our psychology. There is so much influence in music, so much so that the casinos use it to inspire customers to spend more time in the establishments. Music influences every person differently and can be used to have a psychological effect on what one thinks, feels and does. The Use of Music in the Background Different types of music elicit different emotions in a person. For example, some playlists may encourage a client to walk faster or slower in a shopping centre. Some playlists can encourage one to spend more money like a casino. Today, given the variety of choices, this effect is particularly prevalent. Some businesses often use music to minimize the time that customers spend waiting in line. Music in Casinos Music is primarily used to create a certain atmosphere or to maintain a mood. The objective of the music is to make patrons feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during the gambling experience so that they spend long periods playing their favourite casino games. The more time one spends enjoying their experience at the casino, the likelihood of them spending more money ultimately increases. The music played in casinos can either amplify gambling behaviour into a fast-paced frenzy or lull patrons into a soothing sense of comfort that makes them forget about time altogether. It’s not just used in land-based casinos either, the soundtracks that accompany online casino games have also been given plenty of thought, and are used to great effect. Music impacts on casino gamblers in the following ways: Creating an environment for the players. Influencing betting habits & turnover The sound effects with music influence the players to continue playing. The Different Tempos of Music and their Effect Quick tempo music raises the betting pace considerably, which translates into casino turnover. However, this leads to a substantial reduction in the time a player spends gambling. The use of slow-tempo music has the opposite effect on players. It inspires players to consider when they place bets and make their next moves, e.g. during competitions or tournaments. This computing activity has motivated players to prolong their stay at the casino considerably, regardless of whether they win or lose. The music played in the gambling halls often depends on the prevailing crowd at that particular time. If it’s the older crowd, there might be jazz music playing in the background. The younger crowd prefers the night and most likely the casino will be playing rock and roll. Online Casinos and Music The effect of casino music is such that even online casinos have not been able to stay away from using it to improve user experience. In reality, there are a variety of online casinos that are inspired by popular music bands and have their graphics and designs based on them. This is not only a welcome break from the proliferation of online casinos with the same old video slots and table games but also a breakthrough in the technology used to build these online casino games. Many UK online roulette games also use smooth and tranquil music to set the mood of the players and give them a calm mind. To sum up Casinos are wonderful places that create illusions and prey on the emotions of their customers. They know how to cater to the emotions and intelligence of the consumers, and that’s how they succeed in keeping their customers hitched. Music plays a crucial role in this sector, and casinos use their customers’ musical sensitivities to promote the desired consumer behaviour.
The online gambling market is constantly growing and developing to satisfy the needs of new-age players. If you equate the early days of online casinos with some of the most respectable providers in the sector you will notice how far they have come along. With so many online players flocking to play on the online platforms, the industry is growing and developing rapidly with each passing year. Casino games have become more appealing and interesting to fans, and access to online casinos has never been simpler. Let’s have a look at some of the key developments that have changed the online casino industry. Mobile Casinos The launch of the mobile casino model on the market has fully revolutionised the online gaming industry. This was partly because when Net Entertainment made their big comeback to the world gambling scene, their video slots were built using the HTML5 protocol. Thanks to this, players could now navigate casino games on the go easily by using their smartphone browser, regardless of whether the system was powered by Android or iOS. This led to a major expansion of mobile casinos, as a substantial majority of players simply opted to play on the go. Better games and mediums The new video slots that we’re used to playing today are much more enjoyable and satisfying than the older slots. Still one of the big innovations to online casino games was the launch of live dealer games. This service has forever transformed the face of the online gaming industry. Thanks to their creativity in live dealer playing, the online gaming experience is the nearest that players can come to a brick and mortar casino. You can experience this live casino gaming at the Winissimo – New Casino Sites. Bigger, Better Bonuses In the past, the promotions of almost every online casino offered were confined to the first deposit of the player and sometimes a few more for subsequent deposits. But today that’s not the case. Since rivalry on the online gambling market is very intense, every casino competes to draw as many players as possible with better promotions. We will see a rise in incentive quantities that has greatly decreased wagering conditions over the last two years. E-wallets and Instant Payouts Players will now select from a variety of payment options and select those best suited to their needs. E-wallets like Neteller and Skrill are one of the most common payment options in the industry today, simply because most online casinos handle e-wallet payments very easily. In certain casinos, you’ll have your winnings on your e-wallet account within minutes of making your withdrawal order. Better Casino Rules Online gambling is being more conveniently regulated in many countries around the world, so many players can play online casinos for the first time. Although we can see a rise in tighter rules which requires all casino sites to have equal and transparent terms. This way, the player can know what’s going on and have more clarity, particularly when it comes to welcome bonus deals. The goal is that, shortly, all online casinos will follow strict rules for fair and open transactions. Skill games Casino games are inspired by the millennial generation and the effect PC and MMORPG games have on their lives. Several gaming developers are still working on it and have managed to introduce a few skill casino games that are already available in several land-based casinos. The idea behind these games is that the player would require both a talent and a luck factor to maximise his odds of making a profit in the game. Many advancements to follow Nobody knows what the future could bring when it comes to online gambling, but one thing is clear. The online gambling market is constantly evolving and keeps track of the new trends in the world. We expect to see more fantastic developments for improved online casinos and satisfied gaming players in the future.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak MP has today made a statement to the House of Commons on the Government’s plans to protect jobs through the winter. The Chancellor’s Winter Economy Plan includes a six month Job Support Scheme, an extension to the coronavirus loan schemes and the Self Employment Income Support Scheme, and flexibility for VAT repayments. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have been felt acutely by businesses operating in the built environment, with projects facing supply chain issues, a halt to planning and inspection timetables and new health and safety measures changing the way the industry works. The CIOB welcomes the Chancellor’s announcement of these measures, and particularly the extension of the coronavirus loan schemes, which have been an important lifeline to construction businesses over the past months. Small and medium sized enterprises make up around 99% of the construction industry, and support for these businesses is essential for their survival. Despite these challenges, construction professionals have remained optimistic throughout the crisis and have worked hard to adapt and operate safely to support the economy and provide vital infrastructure, including the NHS Nightingale field hospitals. The Construction Talent Retention Scheme is helping businesses to quickly recruit talented individuals and reduce skills shortages within the industry. The construction industry has a crucial role to play in safeguarding employment and supporting the economy through the coming winter months. While The CIOB recognises that now is not the time to outline long-term plans, it is important that thought is given to a stable pipeline of future work for the industry. The industry will need confidence if it is to retain its existing skills base, as well as attract new entrants and train or retrain them in the low carbon skills of the future. The CIOB is calling on the Government to build on its £2 billion Green Homes Grant scheme (GHG) and make progress towards its manifesto commitment of £9.2 billion to improve energy efficiency in homes, schools and hospitals. The CIOB also recommends that the Government implement a ‘Help to Fix’ interest-free loan scheme, predicated on energy efficiency, to improve the quality of the nation’s housing stock and encourage the uptake of retrofit measures by homeowners not covered by the GHG. This will help to protect existing employment and provide new, green jobs across all regions of the UK.
Today, when we think of casinos, right away the first association most likely is Las Vegas. The commercialized picture of Las Vegas that most of us got from the Hollywood movies are flashy spotlights illuminating roads to the biggest lavish-styled casinos where the crowd from all over the world is. But is Las Vegas actually the biggest and only noteworthy casino project out there? Las Vegas and Its Casino Projects The life of Las Vegas is relatively young and over the period of half a century, Las Vegas transformed form a town with illegal gambling industry to one of the world’s best-known gambling cities. The development of Las Vegas has roots in partnerships of mafia lords and local businessmen. Step by step and Las Vegas is now the first association of the gambling industry. There are several casino projects currently happening in Las Vegas which will mark the further expansion of the casino industry. Circa Las Vegas Hotel-Casino, the property of Virgin Hotel Las Vegas with 60,000 square foot (5,574 sq m) casino and 130,000 square foot (12,077 sq m) convention areas in the plan worth $200 million, or the $1.66 billion-worth construction of MSG Sphere casino resort are only some of the casino projects to expect. The Year of 2021 will also be marked by the opening of Resorts World Las Vegas and the current COVID situation hasn’t stopped the ongoing construction worth $4.6 billion. The resort will contain 3,500 rooms with three hotel brands, space for meetings and banquets, spas across more than 600,000 square feet (55,742 sq m) space. Finally, a 110,000 square foot (10,219 sq m) casino is in the plan. The casino is expected to have slot machines, poker room, table games, private salons, as well as high-limit gambling areas. When speaking of Las Vegas, the MGM Grand project must be mentioned. The 170,000 square foot (15,794 sq m) space for gambling, entertainment, and hotel marks this casino project as one of the most noteworthy in Las Vegas. Casino Projects Outside Las Vegas Some may find it surprising but the world’s biggest casino resorts are not located in Las Vegas. The number one biggest casino project is WinStar World Casino in Oklahoma spread on 600,000 square feet (55,742 sq m)! As we said, Las Vegas is not the only casino center in the world. Macau has a long history of the gambling industry, a lot longer than in Las Vegas too, and is known as the ‘gambling capital of the world’. The Venetian Macau Casino is the second-largest casino in the world. If you ever travel to Macau, your visit won’t be genuine if you don’t stop by this casino which has a 550,000 square foot (51,096 sq m) gaming space with more than 3,500 slot machines, 800 gaming tables, and areas for sporting events. Europe is also where you can find other grandiose casino resorts. Portugal is where you can find the largest casino construction in Europe called Lisboa Casino. It stretches along 165,000 square feet (15,329 sq m) and features more than 700 slot machines, more than 20 gaming tables along with a big theater. Online Casino World Of course, to the world’s biggest gambling markets, the online gambling industry must be added. In the sea of gambling companies online, there are several that stand out. Some that must be mentioned is 888 Holdings featuring a casino, poker, sport, and bingo brands; then the UK GVC Holdings is another in the group of the largest sports betting and gaming groups. For particular casino games, there are also numerous big online platforms where players can enjoy favourite games. For example, GG Network is a fast-growing online poker platform. GGPoker as the part of GG Network group provides an excellent poker experience. Numerous unique features and 24/7 availability is what attracts thousands of players all around the world to this big name in online poker entertainment. And the fact that Daniel Negreanu (and poker enthusiasts will know the name) is the face of the GGPoker team speaks a lot about the success of this online poker network.
