  • Brolly that can beat 70mph winds: New cycle helmet style design is unflappable on stormiest of days<br />
<br />
It is one of life’s little  frustrations: you brace yourself with an umbrella on a stormy day, but the moment you step outside it blows inside out.<br />
Now blustery conditions could become a breeze with the help of a storm-proof umbrella.<br />
Tapered at the back, rather like a cyclist’s racing helmet, it is said to be able to withstand winds of up to 70mph. <br />
The asymmetrical design is also easier to hold upright, helping its carriers appear unflappable on the stormiest of days.<br />
Tests in a wind tunnel found that some women were unable to hold a normal umbrella in gale-force winds, but they did not struggle with the Senz design. <br />
Meanwhile, the arm muscles of both men and women in the wind tunnel did a third less work when carrying the storm-proof brolly, according to a Dutch study published in the journal Applied Ergonomics.<br />
<br />
The Senz umbrella, which is thought to be the only type of its kind, was dreamt up by a Dutch industrial engineering student, Gerwin Hoogendoorn, after storms broke three of his brollies in a week.<br />
After running up the prototype on his grandmother’s sewing machine, he formed a company with two university friends and now sells the umbrellas globally, with prices starting at £20.<br />
The secret to their success is said to lie in the aerodynamic design which directs wind over and around the umbrellas, holding them in position.<br />

  • RARE PHOTOGRAPHS - AIRCRAFT SALVAGE DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN AND THE BLITZ,<br />
<br />
Clearing away the debris and detritus of modern mechanised warfare is some- thing that warring nations have had to deal with since the end of the First World War, and the inevitable result of twentieth century warfare was the<br />
large-scale littering of land and sea with the wreckages that combat left behind. The massive and widespread land battles across Europe during the first and second world wars left their own particular trails of destruction and debris that had to be cleared away before normal life could once again resume in the post war periods, and those clear-up operations presented their own challenges, dangers and difficulties. In the British Isles during the Second World War, and for the first time in modern history, the country was faced with widespread destruction caused by bombing, and disrup- tion and damage to infrastructure caused by almost six years of conflict – some of that damage resulting from defensive measures taken by the military with the estab- lishment of aerodromes, fortifications and other defences.<br />
Putting things back to how they were took very many years, although during the 1939–1944 period itself a far more immediate problem faced the authorities in Britain: the collection and disposal of shot down or crashed aircraft, allied and enemy. Such crashes needed almost immediate attention for a variety of reasons. How were they dealt with, and what subsequently happened to them?<br />
<br />
Photo shows:  A case in point was this Messerschmitt 109 of 6./JG51 that was shot down after combat with RAF Hurricanes and Defiants and ended up on its belly in a field at East Langdon in East Kent after sustaining damage to its oil tank on 24 August, 1940. Its pilot, Ofw Fritz Beeck, was taken into captivity. Here, two Australian soldiers spy out a nice trophy in the form of this colourful fuselage emblem which depicts a weeping pelican with an umbrella under its arm. Beneath are

Prince Harry goes with the Flo<br />
He dates Jenson Button’s ex Florence Brudenell-Bruce<br />
<br />
PRINCE Harry is dating the gorgeous ex of Formula One race ace Jenson Button, according to The Sun.<br />
Harry, 26, is having secret trysts with lingerie and swimwear model Florence Brudenell-Bruce.<br />
The pair have known each other for years. But a Royal source said they became "an item" after the Prince made it clear his sometimes turbulent romance with long-term love Chelsy Davy had run its course.<br />
Harry's new girl is a rare beauty - and VERY posh.<br />
Leggy Florence, 25, is the daughter of Old Etonian wine merchant Andrew and his French wife Sophie.<br />
And she is a descendant of the seventh Earl of Cardigan, who led the Charge of the Light Brigade.<br />
Army helicopter pilot Harry and Florence - known as Flee to pals - have spent intimate time together at her £2.5million home in trendy Notting Hill, West London.<br />
Last night a well-connected Royal source said: "It's very early days but Harry and Florence are an item.<br />
"She is a lot of fun, blonde and very good-looking. Harry really likes her."<br />
Florence stayed coy when asked about her relationship with the Prince yesterday as she returned home wearing a pair of sexy denim shorts and sheltering from rain under an umbrella.<br />
he fair-skinned beauty, who appeared in a Bollywood film during a foray into acting, just blurted out: "There's not much to say."<br />
Florence was privately educated at swish Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. She went on to study history of art at Bristol University - the same degree subject as Prince William and his wife Kate. She has maintained a passion for art and is a noted collector.<br />
Her mum is a painter and her brother Henry is a sculptor.<br />
Florence has exhibited her collection at a gallery in London's Old Bond Street.<br />
And she once proclaimed: "Modelling and acting are what I do but they can be such a rollercoaster, whereas art is lovely to have in my life as a constant.<br />
"I am obsessed with it. Whenever I finish a shoot

  • Sunbed's are back  on Patong Beach as Patong Mayor confirms it bring happiness to tourists<br />
<br />
Sun loungers returned to Patong Beach under a new campaign driven by Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup to “bring happiness to Phuket tourists”.  Workers started unloading the beach chairs and placing them inside the “10% zones” at 11am, Mayor Chalermluck confirmed “Yes, this is first day of beach chairs being brought back to Patong Beach. This has been approved by the Maj Gen Pornsak Poonsawat, Deputy Commander of Royal Thai Army Region 4,” Mayor Chalermluck said.<br />
The Army Region 4 base in Nakhon Sri Thammarat is the military unit responsible for all of Southern Thailand.<br />
<br />
Gen Pornsak, who last conducted inspection visit to Patong Beach on Feb 10 , was back on Patong Beach to oversee the beach chair restoration in person, Mayor Chalermluck added.<br />
<br />
“At first, we set out the beach chairs at 11am as a trial, but the tourists saw them and appreciated them and were happy, and they started to sit down using the beach chairs,” she explained. “Gen Pornsak saw the good feedback from tourists himself, so I asked him to allow beach chairs to stay on the beach, not just for a trial – and he approved it,” Mayor Chalerluck said.<br />
<br />
“This will help tourists to be no longer confused about why sun loungers are not allowed on the beach, and will make it more comfortable for elderly tourists who want to enjoy sitting on the beach,” she added.<br />
<br />
However, the use of sun loungers on the beach is restricted to the “10% zones”, which are the only areas on the sand where vendors may provide services, Mayor Chalermluck explained.“In Patong, There is five 10% zones, with 180 umbrellas and 360 beach chairs in each zone,” she added.<br />
<br />
“Beach chair rental prices are limited to not more than B200 per a chair,” she said.<br />
<br />
“This is in line with the original policy set out in 2014, which allowed beach chairs in the 10% zones only, which is flexible and better for elderly tour

“At first, we set out the beach chairs at 11am as a trial, but the tourists saw them and appreciated them and were happy, and they started to sit down using the beach chairs,” she explained. “Gen Pornsak saw the good feedback from tourists himself, so I asked him to allow beach chairs to stay on the beach, not just for a trial – and he approved it,” Mayor Chalerluck said.<br />
<br />
“This will help tourists to be no longer confused about why sun loungers are not allowed on the beach, and will make it more comfortable for elderly tourists who want to enjoy sitting on the beach,” she added.<br />
<br />
However, the use of sun loungers on the beach is restricted to the “10% zones”, which are the only areas on the sand where vendors may provide services, Mayor Chalermluck explained.“In Patong, There is five 10% zones, with 180 umbrellas and 360 beach chairs in each zone,” she added.<br />
<br />
“Beach chair rental prices are limited to not more than B200 per a chair,” she said.<br />
<br />
“This is in line with the original policy set out in 2014, which allowed beach chairs in the 10% zones only, which is flexible and better for elderly tour
