Virtual reality is revolutionizing
the real estate industry by saving
time and money.
By: Ritesh Mehta
People who are in search for homes hate
wasting time, whether buying a residential
house or investing in real estate property.
The thought of the hours spent on driving to
and standing in open houses could instantly
turn one off. Realtors put hours into the
preparation of an open house, taking and
editing photos, and finally taking clients to
get their attention. All of this can be
overwhelming for all parties. Fortunately,
recent advancements in technology have
paved the way for a system that could truly
boost the efficiency of real estate
purchasing, giving it the potential to
revolutionize the real estate industry. In this
case, I refer to Virtual Reality.
Many people have heard about all the
wonderful, futuristic things that virtual reality
can allow us to do. For a real estate company
or investor, now is the time to leverage VR to
lead the market. The most obvious benefit of
virtual reality in the field of real estate is that a
client is able to see a prospective home as if
he or she is actually there. This is a new and
fresh way of marketing a property, but also
makes viewing it so much easier. Simpler
access to homes and properties lead to more
views and obviously the best way of selling
real estate is exposure.

Home
Using virtual reality to market a property has the potential to increase investor interest. VR
marketing particularly works for high-end homes. This makes sense when considering the
large financial commitment that investors make, often from their executive office in another
city or even another country. Given how realistic the VC content appears, the chance to
simply just be present in the place, albeit virtually, could instantly provide an accurate
understanding of the space.
The biggest benefit of virtual reality tours is the potential to save money and time. After virtual
reality viewing, clients can narrow down their choices, and thus, there will be a decrease in
unproductive visits. Instead of taking and managing thousands of individual photos, real
estate agents and engineers now could simply manage one file for each space. Moreover,
rather than preparing for an open house that will last for only a day, companies can now make
the place accessible 24/7, and prospective buyers are able to view or experience the place at
their own convenience. This is particularly true for international or high-profile buyers.
The process of scheduling and visiting can be taxing. Los Angeles could take two whole days
to visit ten houses due to traffic, in which case, the money and time saving benefit of virtual
reality is obvious. There is are actual cases wherein an international buyer saw and bought a
listing without visiting it physically. The sales process saves a lot of time and human resources
for both parties. With VR, there is no need to fly for international buyers or take time off work.
With virtual reality, a person may be sitting in an office or home, but with a headset to his face,
he can walk through a condominium.VR real estate solutions make a buyer feel as if actually
on the property, walking around, opening gates, checking out windows and seeing how the
feel and look of a home changes from dawn to dusk.

Home
People usually are confused between 3D virtual tour
and Interactive app with VR support. However, it really is
simple, 3D virtual tour is the same as moving through a
home, but you’re aware that you’re looking at a screen.
In the case of interactive app with VR support, as soon
as you put on a headset, it is similar to being in that
condo place. Virtual reality is a rapid growing
technology and proves to be extremely helpful for busy
clients who might find it hard to visit a property
personally due to their busy schedules. They could see it
easily on their computers.
These days, several builders and realtors are using
virtual reality to cope with the competitive market at
present. People who actually use the solutions proclaim
that it is not at all strange for properties to be sold within
hours of listing. Furthermore, it is also not unusual for
buyers to make an offer during a walkthrough.

Weindorf:
A meeting of the
modern and the
primitive
By:Maria Stella
ARTDave

NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will
feature the original work of Dave Weindorf in
Metamorphosis .
ART
The modern and primitive come together
in Dave Weindorf’s dynamic paintings.
Influenced by hieroglyphics and cave art,
as well as ancient Egyptian symbols and
Viking runes, Weindorf brings those
influences into the present through a
clean sense of line and vibrant color
palette. While that modern sensibility at
least partly follows in the footsteps of
Picasso, Miro and Kandinsky, it is the
artist’s use of his materials and the
intuitive approach he takes to painting
that make his images distinctive.

ART
Working in watercolor, acrylic, ink and stain
on canvas and board, the artist employs a
range of textures and tones in his images.
Bold strokes of paint are placed over
contrasting backgrounds with colors that
range from delicate pastels to intense blues,
reds and yellows. Weindorf says he likes to
use vintage paints when possible, feeling
that the vividness of those paints gives
sharper definition to his images—heightening
their three-dimensional sense of space.
The resulting works combine a strong
physical presence with a lightness and
freedom that draw the viewer in. Weindorf
lives and works in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

How to select the
best from yoga
retreats in India
By: Steve Davis
Health
Here’s a breakdown of how enthusiast
yogis should select their Yoga Retreat
in India, as a wrong decision can
deprive them of the satisfaction that
they have come for.
India is famous all over the world for the
yoga retreats. Some Yoga Schools pitch
the tents in the Himalayan ranges, while
others take their participants and guests
deep in the forest lands or near the sea.
Of course, yoga retreats are great to do
in India, as the yogis can dive deep into
the sublimity of nature and succor their
souls to the songs of the birds while
doing their favorite poses.
Naturally, for the enthusiast yogis across
borders, selecting the yoga retreat is
one of the toughest jobs as there are so
many to choose from. So here I have put
some points for you to contemplate and
keep in mind while making a right choice
of the yoga retreat.
But before the selection, the first thing
that you should know is what yoga
retreats in India are, and what to expect
with them.
12

A yoga retreat is a few day program in which
participants are taken out in the laps of
nature, giving them an opportunity to
nourish their mind and restore their body
and soul. In yoga retreats, you deepen your
yogic practice and connect with the
like-minded people with the Indian nature
around. In India itself, you can find many
yoga retreats offering many lucrative
opportunities, services, and choices. While
some of these retreats are super strict,
others are austere and good-humored; it is
the best get away from the busy life.
In a yoga retreat, you expect to involve in deeper
connection, sharing, conversation, a lot of learning, and
of course yoga. It is also about understanding the nature
around and how to conjure yourself with it. In many yoga
retreats in India, you are also taken on adventurous trips
and excursions that bring you closer to your roots. These
become the most exciting and memorable moments for
you.
So, while selecting a yoga retreat, consider the following
factors:
A yoga retreat is in place which has roots in Yoga
In India, your yoga retreat is held in Rishikesh, which is
located at the footsteps of the Himalayas, near the river
Ganga. It is a Yoga Capital of the world, and the best pilgrimage/tourist
place. As soon as you land in Rishikesh
you would feel spiritually transformed. There are other
places too which are equally beautiful like Dharamshala,
and towards South Kerala and West Goa.
There are cultural Trips in the Package
Whether you opt for the week-long retreat or a month,
you should check out if your institute is providing culture
interaction program or not. For any yogi, it is very
important to get a cultural exposure and build the
worldview which is more relevant in such diverse land as
in India. Check out in the Package if the cultural trips are
mentioned or not before joining it.
Health

Traditional Line of Teaching
Yoga is more than mere exercises; it is a
complete wellness program whose roots are
dug in its tradition. In Indian Schools and
retreats emphasis is given on bringing mind
and body into harmony, pranayama breath,
and meditative practice. Study the teacher’s
profile you would like to sign up with and
check whether they have traditional lineage
and have experience of teaching traditional
forms?
Provides mix curriculum of ancient disciplines
Yoga is an a ncient discipline and is five
hundred thousand-year-old tradition. It has
mushroomed into the different Schools of
practice. The best thing to do is to find a
retreat which provides the mix of Hatha and
Ashtanga, these two basic courses which
would open one to the many self-exploratory
and self-learning forms. There should be a
proportionate combination of Hatha and
Ashtanga forms.
The above suggestions are the basic things
that you need to consider besides finding out
if the institute is Yoga Alliance Certified, the
type of food or accommodation it is
providing and the reputation it holds in the
yoga world.

Go Sky High & Ski Free in Courmayeur
By Lisa Jeeves
Courmayeur, nestled in the Italian
Alps at the foot of Mont Blanc, may
be famous as an elegant ski resort,
but for those who want the snow and
mountains without the high octane
thrills, it also offers a range of other
activities. With exclusive boutiques
and excellent restaurants scattered
around the resort’s pretty pedestrianized
centre, combined with the short
transfer from Geneva to Courmayeur,
it makes a wonderful spot for a winter
break, even without the skiing.
Restaurants and boutiques are all very well, but if you’ve come to the Alps for stunning
mountain views but don’t want to do too much walking then you’ll be thrilled to
discover that the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car makes the mountains accessible to
all. First built as a way of connecting the Italians of Courmayeur with the town of
Chamonix in France as early as the 1930s, the original cables were destroyed by French
fighter planes during World War Two. After the war, a station was opened at 3300m,
but engineers were unable to reach the summit due to the shifting glacier ice. It wasn’t
until 2015 that the top station at Punta Helbronner was finally opened at 3466m. Today
the Skyway Monte Bianco takes visitors from Courmayeur, up through a series of
stations, to the summit of Mont Blanc with views of many of the Alps’ highest peaks.
16

Spend Time at the Skyway Stations
Starting at Pontal, visitors are swept up the face of Mont Blanc to the first station of
Pavillon du Mont Fréty. Those who just want to feel they are at the heart of the
mountain landscape will enjoy spending the day at the station here, enjoying the
botanical garden (which specializes in Alpine plants) or relaxing in its restaurant,
shopping area or cinema. For a truly breathtaking view of the Alps, carry on up the
cable car to the top station at Punta Helbronner. The modern structure (designed to
look like a shard of ice) has a 360º viewing terrace and a crystal museum, as well as a
café, bar and restaurant.
Relax with a Skyway Spa
Put all thoughts of aching skiing muscles out of your mind and instead imagine staying
at the Pré-Saint-Didier Spa and indulging in its ‘Spa and Cable Car’ package. The deal
includes days spent on Mont Blanc at the Skyway’s beautiful stations, followed by
relaxing, rejuvenating treatments in the spa’s elegant therapy rooms.

How to Get There
Since relaxation and beautiful scenery is at the heart
of your winter break to Courmayeur, it’s good to know
that getting there couldn’t be easier. There are
regular flights from the UK to Geneva, and a short,
easy transfer of an hour and a half from Geneva to
Courmayeur.
For the ultimate stress-free transfer from Geneva to
Courmayeur, book an executive car with Shuttle
Direct before you leave home and we’ll be there to
meet you at the arrivals lounge when you land and
take you directly to your resort accommodation.

Baby Feeding Tips: How to
Deal with a Messy Eater
By: Gus Tanish
Does your baby throw
everything out during
the meal time? Here are
some tips on how to cope
with a messy eater and
make mealtimes stress
and mess-free.
19
Like it or not, feeding toddlers is really a messy business. No matter how tasty the meal
is, they love to play with it and soon master the art of throwing down everything they
don’t like. If you face this situation very often, here are some survival tips which should
help you cut down on the mess and make the mealtime less stressful for you.

Be Prepared:
Prepare yourself well in advance for baby’s mealtime and it's a sure bet, you won’t be
disappointed. Due to the fact that the mealtime with a toddler is messy, you must keep
all the cleaning supplies ready and nearby. In other words, the better prepared you are,
the less frustrated and upset you’ll be.
Pick Your Spot:
Feed your little one somewhere where the floor is easy to clean and wipe. This is because
you never know when the mess may fall down on your favorite carpet or couch. Also, try
to make your baby’s dining area as mess proof as possible to minimize the chances of
clutter.
Cover Him/Her up Properly:
Make sure your baby is fully covered before you put them into their dining seat. Use a
good-sized bib/apron to protect your baby’s clothes against spit-up, drool and food
residue. As baby bibs are much easier to clean than a chair or floor, it’s always a great
idea to use them during the meal time.
Get a Splat Mat:
To further protect your floor from muck splatter, you may consider investing in a plastic
floor mat that is designed to catch every bit of food and can be easily wiped clean
afterwards. Alternatively, an old shower curtain or a baby play mat will also do the job
nicely.
Family

Serve Less:
Letting your tot hold a big bowl of food is just like asking them to make mess. If your little
one often tends to spill or throw food on the floor, try serving a small amount of food to
him at a time. If you do so, your toddler will get rid of his messing-with-food habits soon.
Keep the Meal Time Short:
A shorter mealtime not only minimizes your baby’s chances of messing with food but also
keeps them well seated throughout the mealtime period. So, to avoid a longer
mealtime, get all the food ready before your child takes their seat. Serve your toddler
food only when they are hungry as this will prompt them to eat more and waste less.
Serve Finger Foods:
Opt for foods that are less likely to slip out of the
spoon. Instead of serving a sloppy meal, let your
toddler taste finger foods which are not too
messy and can be easily grasped with fingers.
However, it would be better if you avoid serving
certain slippery finger foods, like banana and
peaches.
Set a Good Example:
Set a Good Example:
During mealtime, sit with your child and share
food with them. Feed yourself in front of your
little one and ask them to watch and learn from
your actions. Make your toddler feel how tasty
their food is and let them use a separate set of
utensils to feed themselves.

Glen View Club
Glen View Club was the inspiration of William Caldwell, a Scotsman on the faculty of
Northwestern University. He proposed the need for a club of suitable privacy and
superb conviviality to a group of businessmen in February of 1897. The following
month, the Glen View Golf & Polo Club was incorporated. By year’s end, Glen View’s
first hundred members were enjoying Chicago’s second 18-hole golf course.
The original property was purchased from the Dewes family, who immigrated from
Yorkshire, England, and homesteaded the land in the early 19th Century. On the site
selection committee was Daniel H. Burnham, renowned urban planner, who
convinced noted landscape architect. O.C. Simonds, to become a member and
lay-out the grounds. The task of designing the first clubhouse was assigned to
member, William Holabird, of the prominent architectural firm, Holabird & Roche.
(That first clubhouse was destroyed by fire in 1921.) Today’s nearly 200 acres of
rolling beauty stand as testament to these early visions.
The initial golf course was designed by Richard Leslie, the Club’s first golf
professional, in consultation with member and golf course architect, Herbert J.
Tweedie. William S. Flynn was commissioned for a redesign in 1922. Over the
ensuing ninety years, Glen View Club’s golf course, like most historic clubs,
underwent a series of evolutions. In 2013, award winning architect, Jim Urbina, was
contracted as the Club’s current golf course partner, and most of Flynn’s original
design elements have been restored.
In 1899, Glen View Club hosted the first Western Open – one of five to be held on
our course. The Club hosted the 1902 U.S. Amateur, which was won by member,
Louis N. James, the first American born golfer to claim the title. In 1904, Willie
Anderson won the third of his four U.S. Opens at Glen View Club.
Noted members through the years have included U.S. Presidents, William Howard
Taft and Warren G. Harding, Vice President Charles Gates Dawes, and renowned
amateur golfer, Charles “Chick” Evans. Chick was joined in the World Golf Hall of
Fame by Jock Hutchison, who served as Glen View Club’s head professional for thirty
five years.
