    Hotel of new type in Amsterdam

    CitizenM

    CitizenM is the hotel made of ready modules of rooms.

    The hotel of new type is constructed in Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The design of the project was developed by the Holland architectural studio, “Concrete”.

    Each of two hundred thirty rooms has been constructed and arranged by furniture at factory. Then the received elements have been made together as containers by the ship — and the hotel has turned out.

    The concept assumes reduction of all unnecessary expenses and removal of all unnecessary details. As a result of visitors receive magnificent conditions and comfort for very moderate price. In hotel of 230 numbers, 14 square metres everyone by the area.

    Amsterdam hotel

    All elements-rooms are made at own factory SitizenM, are mobile and are easily transported. Rooms are placed over the building ground floor where the dynamical lobby is placed, a drawing room, creative rooms, restaurant and a bar.

    Company Concrete has thought up the concept which has defined new possibilities for creative process and a new way for all involved technologies.

    CitizenM wishes to clone the concept and to construct more than 20 hotels next year, with use of technology of blocks. The second hotel will be constructed in Amsterdam, the third - in Glasgow. Other European cities now are in the field of research.

    Schiphol Airport

    As, according to owners CitizenM, everything, that is necessary for us during a stop in road is an excellent bed and a pure bathroom, they have concentrated on these details.

    To save space, subjects from a bathroom are placed separately in a room. In the big glass cylinders are a shower and a toilet, in the small cylinder the bowl and additional space for storage of personal things is hidden.

    Interior hotel

    The space effective utilisation has given a life to effective decisions; for example, the mirror simultaneously is a place for storage. In a steel framework the mirror in full growth which, on the other hand, consists of a mirror for a make-up with illumination, departments for storage of sanitary articles, in hotel available the European, English and American sockets is concluded.

    On either side of a bed night little tables are located. Under a bed the huge locker for suitcase storage in an open kind or other personal things is placed. Sockets on a forward part of a bed allow to connect your laptop or phone.

    Hotel Holland

    Designers have tried to create as much as possible house conditions — zones for work, rest, meal. The design of rooms is created together with furniture brand Vitra. The furniture will periodically vary, that will allow Vitra to organise additional show-rum of production.

    Electronic terminal

    The philosophy of a new hotel brand is that:

    “Small rest in road is necessary to All travellers. To researchers, wise men, dandies, businessmen, adventurers and dreamers. They are independent and individual, but they are united by one — aspiration to travel positively. For all mobile citizens of the world. CitizenM”

  • Louis Walsh denies that he indecently assaulted man in nightclub toilet

    Louis Walsh denies that he indecently assaulted man in nightclub toilet
    By ELEANOR HARDING
    ©Louis Walsh had seen Westlife sing in Dublin before the alleged incident
    Louis Walsh last night denied allegations that he indecently assaulted a man in a nightclub toilet.
    The X Factor judge said: ‘The allegations made against me are wholly false and with no foundation.
    ‘I will happily cooperate fully with the police and am 100 per cent confident that after a full investigation I will be fully exonerated.’
    An anonymous 24-year-old, who is understood to be a single father, told police that Mr Walsh, 58, touched his groin after they struck up a conversation, according to The Sun newspaper.
    According to the unsubstantiated claims from the alleged victim, the attack happened in the early hours of April 10, when Mr Walsh is said to have visited Russell Court Hotel in Dublin.
    Earlier in the evening, Mr Walsh had attended a concert by Westlife, the Irish boyband he created.
    The man allegedly told police he chatted with Mr Walsh in the hotel’s private Global Bar, before the pair moved on to its well-known Krystle nightclub.
    His statement to officers claims the TV star then indecently assaulted him in the nightclub’s toilets.
    ©The venue: The alleged assault is said to have taken place at the Krystle nightclub, inside Dublin's Russell Court Hotel
    According to The Sun, a police source said the investigation was ‘ongoing’ and that officers have taken CCTV footage from the nightclub and will also study film from cameras in the hotel.
    A spokesman for Mr Walsh said: ‘He vigorously denies all of the allegations. If contacted by the police he will willingly co-operate with any investigation. Louis categorically denies any wrongdoing and will fight to clear his name.’
    ©Famous: The nightclub is one of the most popular and exclusive in Dublin
    Last night, the alleged victim refused to comment.
    Mr Walsh is on the judging panel for this year’s X Factor, alongside Gary Barlow from Take That, Kelly Rowland from Destiny’s Child and N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos. The Irishman first appeared on the programme in 2004 alongside Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne.
    Mr Walsh became well-known in the 1990s for creating the group Boyzone after deciding to create an Irish version of Take That.
    Under his management, they achieved international success, selling more than 12million copies worldwide

    Back to work: Louis Walsh arrives at the London Studios for X Factor yesterday
    He later used the same formula to produce Westlife, co-managed by Boyzone member Ronan Keating. Mr Walsh launched his television career as a judge on the Irish edition of reality music show Popstars.
    After finding a band on that show he was brought across to London to star in Popstars: The Rivals on ITV. It was on this show that he found UK fame, as mentor of the winning group, Girls Aloud.
    During his time on the X Factor, Mr Walsh had success with classical-style boyband G4, who went on to have a chart-topping album and completed two tours of the UK.

  • A variety of towels in our life

    A variety of towels in our life
    Round us it is a lot of prophetic. Of them we so have strongly got used to many, that often we do not give them any value though it's not always justified. First of all it concerns towels which the person use constantly throughout all life.

    Towels are necessary in each house

    Bella CosaIn any house there are some various towels with which tenants and visitors wipe hands, the body, ware...

    The towel is the textile product of the rectangular or square form created specially for a wipe of any subjects, including bodies of the person. Towels have appeared many years back. About them there are mentions in the Bible and national legends of any people.

    Towels on appearance are very similar to wafers (therefore them and name wafer). They well absorb a moisture (three times better, than terry towels), perfectly mass, promote microblood circulation and a lymph. They can be used both for a wipe of ware and hands, and in a bathroom. In Hotel Bedding Collection Set — are often included wafer and terry towels.

    For massage special massage towels from the flax which unique structure helps a body to relax are created. With their help also it is possible to pound a body well.

    SobellaWell, and on a beach we, certainly, take a beach towel on which it is possible to sunbathe on the sun and to be wiped after swimming. Allocate also special towels for hands. These are towels of the small size which hang up in a bathroom or in a toilet about a bowl for a wipe of hands.

    Towels from velour weave from five threads. Four threads form the top and bottom basis of a fabric (them in pairs bind with each other), and the fifth — pile (it is a velvety thread more often). After end of weaving a fabric cut to separate the top basis from the bottom. Other name of these towels — Luxury Hotel Towels.

    Besides, towels differ on a material of which they are made. Certainly, most widespread of them is the cotton fabric from which weave towels many centuries successively. The cotton fibre well absorbs a moisture, does not collapse during the big number of washings and is steady against a friction which is inevitable at towel use. On Queen Bed Blanket always at a headboard put a cotton towel.

    SovillaTowels also make from silk, a bamboo and a paper. Silk towels beautiful, gentle and improbably magnificent, but badly absorb a moisture and instantly stick to a body. Bamboo towels very soft and gentle.

    From a bamboo weave beach towels since the bamboo fibre possesses cooling effect more often. From a paper make disposable towels for a kitchen room which perfectly absorb a moisture and effectively clear ware of a dirt and the food rests.

    The terry towel is the most favourite towel, gentle and soft in which it is pleasant to be turned after a shower or a bathroom. Weave such towels from the terry fabric which pile turns out for the account of free giving of loops of leaky tense basis. Terry towels perfectly well absorb a moisture, quickly dry and long do not wear out.

    Certainly, always it is possible to manage one towel for all occasions, always it is possible to buy not so expensive towel of so low quality, but, you see, when it is a question of such important subject as a towel, it is wrong and very unreasonable!

    It was so great hanging out with you yesterday and today. Talking and reminiscing about old times and seeing you respond with some of the strongest gusts of wind I’ve ever felt.
    Paul, you always told it like it was. You’re the same guy that wouldn’t let me stay home on New Year’s Eve back in 1992, and once drove over in four feet of snow during a storm, just to hang out! There was no one like you. That’s why you were my best friend.

    There were supposed to be five days of tornadoes and rain here in Iowa, but the sun came out stronger than it has all year. It’s good to know Paul’s keeping an eye on things.
    This is a horrible thing that happened, but each of you has made this just a little bit easier to deal with. Your support means everything to us.

  • Wellies and winter coats will be order of the day as weather looks grim for Glastonbury

    Wellies and winter coats will be order of the day as weather looks grim for Glastonbury
    By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
    ©Wet, wet, wet: Festival goers arriving at the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset this morning
    Thousands of revellers sporting wellington boots and winter coats are beginning to arrive in Somerset as the Glastonbury Festival gets under way.
    Rain-hardy revellers battled through the drizzle and mud to get to the campsites on 900-acre Worthy Farm for the start of Britain's biggest and best-loved music festival.
    But the heavy rain and soft, marshy ground did little to dampen the spirits of those attending as they manfully battled through the elements.
    ©Emergency supplies: A box full of cans of beer stands in the mud this morning
    ©You've got to laugh: Hayley Davenport manages to keep a smile on her face as she carries her guitar through the mud. Left, another festival fan is more than prepared for the expected wet weather
    More than 177,000 people are expected to attend the festival in Pilton to see the likes of U2, Beyonce and Coldplay perform.
    Unlike last year's sun-drenched festival, music fans have packed woolly jumpers, waterproofs and wellies as they brace themselves for autumnal temperatures and regular downpours.
    ©Barefoot bravery: Katie Featherstone and Lucy Loretto arrive in the mud clutching their festival gear
    Nearly all donned their wet weather gear as as the damp conditions threatened to cause a repeat of the 2007 mudfest.
    Weather experts even warned revellers making their way to the annual bash that they may need to brace themselves - for hail.
    Met Office forecaster George Goodfellow said: 'The weather for the period of Glastonbury Festival is looking very unsettled but we could see the most intense showers on Thursday.
    'When we get these intense showers at this time of the year we can see hail, which is a possibility for Glastonbury.'

    Carefree: A festival goer laughs as he arrives at the Glastonbury Festival site with a dirty face - and the fun hasn't even begun
    The Met Office has also warned night temperatures will drop to as low as six degrees - while heavy rain is already turning the 1,100 acre site into a mud bath.
    A spokesman said: 'It's not going to be a typically wet Glastonbury but it won't be like last year's either.
    'We're expecting some heavy showers for the first two days but it will gradually improve and while Sunday won't be that bright it could be quite warm.'
    ©Determined: Two festival goers have a steely look on their faces as they battle through the wind and mud
    But the weather is unlikely to put off excited festival-goers who will turn Worthy Farm into the south-west's third largest city after Bristol and Plymouth.
    James Beal, 25, from Bristol, is making his fourth trip to Glastonbury and spent last year's festival basking in the heat wave.
    He said: 'This year's event will be brilliant, regardless of whether it's wet and windy or sunny and bright.
    'I think it's impossible for the weather to put me off, I'm here for the music and the atmosphere.
    'I can't wait to see Beyonce; I hope Jay-Z makes a guest appearance - that would be amazing.'
    ©Some revellers will be enjoying the festival fun in rather more luxurious surroundings than others, however.
    Popping up next to the Glastonbury Festival is the latest venture in posh camping - deluxe tents which cost up to £1500 for the weekend.
    Festival-goers with fat enough wallets can spend the weekend in safari-style bell tents with double beds, valet parking, wooden deck flooring and hot showers in an upmarket encampment just outside the festival.

    Festival organisers are dedicating six per cent of the event's revenue this year to keeping the place clean and tidy.
    The site will have 20,000 rubbish bins colour-coded for recycling, enabling the festival to recycle more 400 tonnes of waste.
    This is being co-ordinated by 160 'green police' who patrol the vast site ensuring people don't drop litter or urinate in the stream.
    A team of 950 people will clean up rubbish every morning and ensure the 4,600 toilets are acceptable to use.

  • Aren't you meant to be posh? Made In Chelsea's Caggie Dunlop and Spencer Matthews slump on the pavement among the fag butts

    Aren't you meant to be posh? Made In Chelsea's Caggie Dunlop and Spencer Matthews slump on the pavement among the fag butts
    By NADIA MENDOZA
    ©Butt of the joke: Caggie and Spencer sit among cigarette ends on the pavement
    Her annual school fees cost a yearly salary, but Caggie Dunlop bid farewell to her posh upbringing last night.
    The Made In Chelsea star sat drunkenly on the pavement outside the Mayfair Hotel, sitting on the concrete surrounded by cigarette butts.
    She seemed oblivious to the fact she was perched on the floor instead of a throne, as she cosied up to love interest Spencer Matthews.
    Spencer, who also appears on the E4 reality show, looked delighted with the attention and reciprocated by putting an arm around his friend.
    The pair, joined by co-stars CJ Chapman and Hugo Taylor, wiled away the hours drinking at the Slazenger party, before heading to Funky Buddha.
    Caggie, an aspiring singer, has a 'Ross and Rachel' friendship with Eton-educated Spencer.
    Their 'will they/ won't they' romance has been a prominent storyline in the first season of the programme.
    But last night, the couple only had eyes for each other and seemed oblivious to fellow partygoers.

    Eyes only for each other: Spencer and Caggie are oblivious to anyone else
    The blonde Sloane looked elegant, albeit a little windswept, when she headed out for the evening.
    Dressed in a short white dress, she kept her long legs under wraps beneath an ankle-length floral coat.
    But towards the end of the night, she was stumbling around and flashing more than she intended to by striding along with her knickers on display.
    This morning, Spencer implied it had been a heavy night with an early tweet at 6.30am.
    He wrote: '@hugo_london Death.. Thank god it's friday.. So much love for you.. x'

    Spencer's latest conquest could be a public display of revenge for his ex Chloe Green.
    The former PR manager, now a broker, reportedly dated the Topshop heiress before she rather incestuously moved on to another lover in their friendship circle - Spencer's bisexual Made In Chelsea co-star Ollie Locke.
    Sir Phillip's daughter and Spencer, who have been friends for years, are believed to have cemented their relationship in Monaco last month when they attended the Grand Prix together.

    Other guests in attendance were former No1 tennis ace John McEnroe and presenter Jameela Jamil.
    The T4 host tried her best to get noticed by wafting a racket around in a 'look at me' spectacle.
