Have an account? The Masters are underway at Augusta National Golf Club. The club enforces a strict no-cellphone policy during the tournament. Patrons hope it stays that way. Troy Wahlberg waited over 15 years to walk across the meticulously manicured landscapes at Augusta National Golf Club.The golf club, nestled in east Georgia, has hosted the prestigious Masters since 1934. Golf enthusiasts worldwide travel to the annual tournament to watch the sport's best battle for the coveted green jacket.Wahlberg managed to snag tickets to the Masters through its lottery system. "It's a lifelong dream come true," he told Business Insider.When he arrived for the practice rounds at Augusta National this week, he had a small point-and-shoot camera in his pocket.His cellphone, however, was absent.

Augusta National/Augusta National/Getty Images Attendees are prohibited from bringing cellphones onto Augusta National's grounds during the tournament. Other electronic items, like laptops, tablets, radios, and TVs, are also a no-go at the Masters. Patrons violating these policies could be removed from Augusta National's grounds and lose their tickets.In the era of ubiquitous screens and nonstop notifications, the Masters keeps things analog."It's peaceful," Wahlberg said. "It's like camping. You slowly detach."Attending the Masters means disconnecting from the world for sometimes hours at a time, which can cause problems for people who rely on our super-connected society for work. A Wall Street Journal reporter wrote that some working in finance who attended the tournament on Wednesday were unaware, for instance, that President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on many tariffs until he told them.Wahlberg felt a "phantom buzzing" in his pocket for the first few hours at the Masters but said the lack of cellphones is part of the event's magic."You sit next to other patrons, and nobody has a face in a screen, so you're forced to have conversations," he said. "I couldn't tell you the names of anybody we sat by, but I could rehash all the conversations."Patrons at the Masters aren't completely off the grid, though. Instead, they wait in line to use pay phones provided by the golf club. Guests use payphones at the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. Richard Heathcote/Getty Images Augusta National also allows patrons to bring cameras during the practice rounds, but they're prohibited on tournament days. "It was neat to have a camera there to capture moments," Wahlberg said. "We got to get our selfies." The anti-cellphone wave has gained traction in recent years. Garth Brooks banned phones during his Las Vegas residency. Many comedians also now require guests to place their phones in cases until after the show. Patrons can bring cameras to Augusta National Golf Club during the Masters' practice rounds. Ben Jared/PGA TOUR Most performers and athletes, however, still perform for a sea of cameras and smartphones. Wahlberg doesn't want that at the Masters."I think the patrons and fans of this event would appropriately riot if they ever decided to change," Wahlberg said. "I 100% hope we continue this trend of no cellphones at events."Fortunately, it doesn't appear Augusta National will change its policy anytime soon.Masters chairman Fred Ridley discussed the ban ahead of the 2019 tournament, saying patrons appreciated it."I don't believe that's a policy that anyone should expect is going to change in the near future, if ever," Ridley said. "I can't speak for future chairmen, but speaking for myself, I think we got that right." Recommended video

Not everyone wants to spend $500 on an Apple Watch, especially if the primary use is tracking and improving sporting performance. For those for whom fitness data takes precedence over high-end brands, Garmin is the global market leader in sport-focused smartwatches. The Garmin Vivoactive 5, available today on Amazon for as low as $199—which is a 33% discount from its original price of $299—is a classic case of how Garmin bundles high-performance capabilities at a very reasonable price. The Garmin smartwatch is made for sports enthusiasts, amateur athletes and anyone looking for a reliable partner for health. See at Amazon Most Popular Brand The Vivoactive 5 is equipped with stunning 1.2-inch AMOLED screen that has 390 x 390 pixels of resolution and exhibits rich colors as well as crystal-clear images. The screen has significantly improved over its predecessor (the Vivoactive 4) and it will be a lot easier to read data even in direct sun or during severe exercise. Despite its premium display, the watch boasts a great battery life of up to 11 days when in smartwatch mode so you won’t be left having to be perpetually plugged into a charger. Even with heavy GPS use and activity tracking, you can expect eight days of use—a major improvement over many in this category. Garmin has packed the Vivoactive 5 full of a full suite of health and fitness tracking features: It includes a heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter for blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), sleep tracking with personalized coaching, stress monitoring, respiration tracking, and even menstrual cycle tracking. The Body Battery energy monitoring feature is particularly useful and provides insights into your energy levels based on factors like sleep quality, stress, and activity levels. For sportspeople, the watch comes with over 30 preloaded activity profiles ranging from running and cycling to yoga and strength training. It even includes such niche ones as apps for active wheelchair use. While it lacks some of the high-end functions of Garmin’s flagship watches (which easily cost $800 or more), it still gives all the metrics required for most exercises. The GPS technology is GLONASS and Galileo satellite network compatible for accurate tracking during outdoor activities like running or cycling. If you like music, you will appreciate the ease of downloading music directly onto the watch from providers like Spotify, Amazon Music, or Deezer. This means you won’t have to carry your phone around for exercise but still enjoy listening to your favorite playlists. What’s more, Garmin Pay enables you to pay contactless directly from your wrist—a convenient feature when making spontaneous buys on the fly. The Vivoactive 5 is also designed to work seamlessly with your smartphone: It includes notification support for both iOS and Android but only Android has direct replying on the watch. It is simple to install: simply pair the watch with Garmin Connect app via Bluetooth and follow the instructions to customize your experience. Features like LiveTrack, which allow you to share your live location with family or friends during activities, give an extra sense of security. This smartwatch is ideal for health enthusiasts who value long battery life, detailed health information, and robust activity tracking features over smartwatch frills like speakers or voice assistants. Certainly, it doesn’t have the bells and whistles of more expensive models like Apple Watch Ultra or Garmin Venu/Fenix, but it’s a huge value for its price. See at Amazon

Ooort House / 100A associatesSave this picture!© Jae-yoon KimHouses•Gyeonggi-do, South Korea , South Korea Architects: 100A associates Area Area of this architecture project Area:  68 m² Year Completion year of this architecture project Year:  2024 Photographs Photographs:Jae-yoon Kim Lead Architects: Kwang-il An, Sol-ha Park More SpecsLess Specs Save this picture! Text description provided by the architects. A steep hill embracing the ridgeline of Cheonggyesan as a landscape, the site, shaped and accumulated over a long period, was a place to encounter many different moments in time, clear and undeniably real. The first impression of the site was the vivid, primal language of nature it had preserved, as if proving the times that coexisted in the place. The atmosphere of this primal space manifests in different forms with each moment, awakening passive senses in us, adapting to the rapidly flowing time of the city, and offering enough room for imagination to emerge.Save this picture!The name OORT of the site is a linguistic fusion of homophones meaning "edge" and "place," symbolizing a harmonious and timeless site situated at the geographical periphery. Chosen by the owner's family during the planning of this project, the name reflects their aspirations for the space—one that embodies the life they envision and will continue to lead in the years to come.Save this picture!Save this picture!The architecture of this site consists primarily of the main residential space for the owner couple and a separate guest area for visitors. Architecturally respecting the enduring form that the site has embraced over time, the residence and guest space are carefully arranged to follow the natural slope, establishing a vertical hierarchy that allows each to be fully experienced without interference. At the center of the residential space and guest area lies a garden—a welcoming space for all who enter, a buffer that naturally separates yet connects the living areas, and a transitional zone that extends each space into nature. We hoped that this space would allow the rhythm of nature—expressed through ever-changing colors, scents, and sounds across the seasons—to be continuously experienced in new sensory forms.Save this picture!The first impression of the architecture is defined by a massive concrete retaining wall shaped by the site's level differences. This vast and solid materiality serves as both the boundary and the starting point of a tranquil and harmonious eternal place. While extending this massive and solid presence into the architectural exterior, we sought to soften it through vertical circulation, creating a sequence where landscape and concrete architecture intersect and gradually dissolve. Additionally, by imprinting wood patterns onto the concrete and incorporating red Corten steel, we intended for the materials to blend with the natural colors of the surroundings, and over time, as they weather and assimilate into the site, the architectural presence gradually fades, functioning as a snsory bridge that connects the space to nature.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!To ensure that the intrinsic presence of nature in this place is deeply felt within the interior spaces, materials and colors that resemble the texture of nature were used. This approach allows the changing textures and visual warmth to be naturally imprinted over time (through shifting seasons, day, and night), creating a synesthetic experience that harmonizes with the flow of nature. Additionally, the intentionally left voids were meant to embrace the passage of time, allowing the atmosphere and moments of the owner family's time and mood to be etched into the space.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The space, imbued with light that slowly shifts and transforms like a living organism, guides one to follow the natural sensations of the environment, intertwining with our visual representation in the mind and memories. For some, this space may become one that etches beautiful landscapes; for others, it may be a place on the edge, distant from the rhythm of the city; and for yet others, it may represent a harmonious and eternal life. We hope that the time spent here will not simply pass but through experiences where the senses of nature permeate, it will awaken emotions and be remembered as a moment that leaves a lingering trace in memory.Save this picture!

Nature, Published online: 09 April 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-01044-9The activity that consumes roughly one-third of our lives affects health in ways scientists are only beginning to fully understand.

BEHOLD! a liquid extractor of some sort. A prop i made for a friend some time ago. more renders over heeeeeree on my artstationn. submitted by /u/L0rdCinn [link] [comments]

AI in real worldremember, there ones was a time when people woke up to the sounds of birds. remember the time when people speneded their time with family and friends not in phone. remember a time when people cooked based on what they know or got recipes from neighbours and not by watching time?I m not one of those people who hate ai but neither i belong to the other group. technology has bought drastic changes in the way we live our lives. And today from a small pencil to highly developed machines has its own technical development. all our lives is inside a small box named phone , through which u are reading, from our personal contacts to money and everything. have u ever wondered what will happen to the world if there existed no phones?maybe we can go back to the lifestyle of our ancient ancestors . how do u think ai helps you? the whole world is in ai revolution . no body in here knows whether it’s good or bad. ai is everywhere, in healthcare, in transportation, in business and etc. humans have started to trust ai more than the people of their own kind. ai doing surgery , don’t u think this can make some mistakes and even if it does there wouldn’t be anything happening to that mechine but for the person who took that surgery will get all the bad. im writing this article to bring lights to this situation. why can’t people trut people but they trust something that isn’t a real one? ofcourse the development of ai is not going to stop here isn’t? everyone of us knows that . soon our cars can be replaced with automatic cars with a built-in ai with it.because of the use of chat gpt , Gemini etc , people have forgotten to use their brain. even for simple essay or simple questions people have started to search it . kids being born these day are thought to use chat gpt and google. but yes I have to be true to the fact that ai has reduced global poverty. ai do has many advantages but at some times these can over weight the disadvantages that it posses . ai has made work easier in stocks or common business. it can guide people towards anything like trading, startups . but the only thing is , we don’t know where it stores our information or to whom it shares . we just think the messages will be deleted but we might not know if that’s the truth!after 20 to 30 years , ai can be more developed. you know like the cars that we discussed above, the aeroplane can be automatically destined to a perticular place without a pilot, a robot can be appointed as a cook , our houses can be turned into a automatic house which can open the door with a face recognition,it can control our ac or heating device or tv anything. the only thing that we know is ai is going to take a drastic change in next 20 years.try to minimise the work of ai in some way and try to answer the search or a question by yourself.(thankyou for reading my article.)

Final Fantasy is a series that doesn't shy away from depicting divine figures. These gods and goddesses boast a ton of power and can easily decimate their foes without too many problems, with only the mightiest warriors around standing a chance of holding their own against these deities.

You’ll come across a pair of pictures (or paintings, or drawings, or whatever you want to call them) in every Blue Prince room. This pair of pictures (or paintings or drawings) serves as the basis for one of the most baffling puzzles in the game. Our Blue Prince guide will tell why there are two pictures in every room and tell you everything you need to know about how to solve the picture puzzle, including examples, the solution, the reward. Why are there two pictures in each room in Blue Prince? Before we outright spell out the solution to Blue Prince’s wild picture puzzle, we’ll point you in the direction of where you can find some hints. There are a few rooms you can draft that will give you some clues: Commissary Study Classroom 5 In the Commissary, check the bulletin board. You’ll see one picture labeled WITH and one labeled WITHOUT. This is the biggest clue about the process of solving this puzzle. It implies you need to, for lack of a better word, “subtract” one picture from the other. In the Study, things are clarified even further. You’ll find a note asking for artwork and another with some unused examples. On the chalkboard, you’ll find a big hint about how to put it all together: a grid system that maps directly to a blank Mt. Holly blueprint, with the letter F in the spot the Entrance Hall always goes. Some small chicken scratch reads, “Face & Ace.” If you manage to draft Classroom 5, you’ll find examples of pictures on the boards around the room. But the only two hints you really need are those from the Commissary’s bulletin board and the Study’s chalkboard. [Ed. note: Spoilers follow for the Blue Prince picture puzzle below.] How to solve picture puzzles in Blue Prince In most rooms, you’ll find two pictures. Generally speaking, these will be arranged with one on the left and one on the right. Your job is to find two words — one for the drawing on the left and one for the right — that differ by only one letter, and then remove the shared letters. Let’s go through an example. In the Entrance Hall, you’ll see a pair of pictures framing the door on the right. Both are of hands holding playing cards. On the left is a queen, and there’s an ace on the right. But a queen is also a FACE card. So, FACE without ACE is just F. Let’s do some more. Some pictures are used multiple times, though, and have different meanings. The TAG — the price tag with a ten on it — can mean TAG, TEN, or COST. The drawing of a PLANE can mean PLANE or FLIER. The drawing of a hand painting a moon(?) can mean PLANET or CREATE (because the hand is creating a drawing). The drawing of a tree can be a PINE or a FIR. The chart can mean CHART or RATE (because the arrow shows the rate of increase on the chart). Other drawings only ever mean one thing, like the PRY bar, the TIGER or the TIERed serving dish. Your task in each room is to look at the two pictures, and subtract the second from the first. The pictures change each day (more on this in a second), so if you get stuck, you can always try again another day. For what it’s worth, not every room has pictures. According to our testing, green rooms like the Veranda or the Patio appear to never have pictures. Some hallways don’t have them. The Foundation doesn’t either. This is only a problem for one day at a time, though, as you’ll solve the pictures puzzle across multiple days. Full Study chalkboard pictures puzzle solution in Blue Prince Refer back to the grid that was on the chalkboard in the study. (You’re going to want a journal for this.) As you figure out which letters go in which boxes, you’ll slowly fill out a complete phrase. The house in Blue Prince is arranged in a five-by-eight grid. Each day, the rooms will move around based on how you draft them, and when they do, the pictures will change. That’s because the letters are always in the same position. (This is also why the pictures in the Entrance Hall never change.) That means, no matter what room you put there, the bottom left corner will always be S. With a bit of work and some patience, you can fill in a grid with each letter you find there. When you’re done, you’ll be able to read the message. See below for the full solution: The message is: IF WE COUNT SMALL GATES EIGHT DATES CRACK EIGHT SAFES. So now what? Picture puzzle reward in Blue Prince Basically, this phrase is a hint that anything with code or combination on it is looking for a date. This includes the Orchard gate — “if we count small gates.” The safes it mentions can be found in rooms like the Shelter (the time lock safe counts as a date), Office, Study, Boudoir, and more. These safes reveal red letters, which in turn fill out the backstory for Blue Prince. Want to track them all down? See our guide on all safe codes. For more Blue Prince guides, here’s our full walkthrough on how to reach Room 46, plus how to unlock another permanent room with the Orchard, open the West Gate through the Garage, or how to solve the dart puzzle in the Billiards Room.
