  You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyacv doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.

  The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. "Once,I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞蓬) built into a street lamp," he said.

  The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.

  In addition to the rain sensor,there's also a 360°motion sensor on the fi-breglass street lamp which detects whether anyone's using the lampbrella. Af?ter three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.  

  According to the designer,the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed,so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides,it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strikes. Each lampbrella would of?fer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 metres off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

  While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production,Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department,and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

  Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful busi?ness ventures on the Internet. Basically,Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first.

  The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your pro?file (简介) which can include your hobbies,hopes for the future,and so on. A photograph is optional,but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge some for using their services.

  Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code. Another advan?tage is that you can communicate by e-mail before you meet in person. Thou?sands of people have met,fallen in love,and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others,and an easy way to meet people who share your interests.

  Just as in traditional dating and love,there are some traps to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the Internet may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who mis?represent their appearance or private details,such as marital status? income,and so on,for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in,and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time.
