On the occasion of the celebration of the magazine’s tenth anniversary, 2G launches an international ideas competition: 2G Competition. Venice Lagoon Park. This theoretical initiative, which does not involve subsequent phases of the project or its execution, is an inducement to free, non-restrictive reflection, the objective being to embark on a worthwhile debate within the profession. The competition is intended as a reflection on the contemporary metropolis that, growing out of the design of the landscape, pays attention to the tension between global interests and local needs. The site chosen for the unfolding of the competition is the Venice Lagoon, the specific theme being the creation of the Venice Lagoon Park. The park project will be devoted to reclaiming the urban idea of the lagoon as a complex network of communications and settlements, through a hypothetical re-colonisation of the territory of the lagoon, the decentralisation and atomisation of a programme of uses, and the re

The grids can be designated to store different items according to the users' needs of storage and usage: 1.Documents and folders 2.Keyboard and mouse 3.Stationery 4.Loose papers The basket fitted in the grids can be removed to provide greater convenience when moving. This feature will also allow the user to sort and organize the items within the basket easily.

Blinds are, more and more, seen like objects that help in home decoration, and because of that the variety that you have is increasing. In this site call guaranteed blinds you can choose from a wide range of shades, blinds and panels, of different types, colours, tissues, etc. The system that grabbed my attention was this kind of honeycomb cell tissue (you can have it simple or double), that brings a richer light texture, and, with this innovation, the shade can be placed on top of window and working with a top-down rolling (the usual), or it can be placed on the bottom of the window, and having a bottom-up rolling, serving as a “Japanese screen” that protects a space from unwanted eyes. One of the aspects that could be improved in this site is the picture's size, because they are too small to see desirable details.

If you want to learn Italian, you can do it on-line, on learnandspeakitalian website. You can do it at your own rhythm, not have to worry about losing you money because you don’t have enough free time. This is meant for English speaker learners but anyone who knows a little bit of English could use it. The advantage of this method is that it teaches you to speak, not just some everyday phrases, but it explains the meaning of each word so you can re-use it in another context. And it has recorded pronunciation of each word, with different speed, so you can understand how it is done, and you can recognize if and when you listen it spoken by an real Italian. You don't have to be on-line all the time, you can download the mp3 files, so you can listen later, on you mp3 player, or your CD player, again and again, until you feel that the “music” of the Italian language have enter your hear. The price is very appealing, because you have to pay the fee only one time, and it is valid f
