   Bringing in the outside world with non-artificial textures, materials and ways of doing business. #green 

Aiming to make an impact by re-inventing the industry standard for socially responsible hospitality. 

At 1, you’ll find open spaces bathed in natural light, food made with the freshest organic ingredients, and recycled and reclaimed wood and materials.

By focusing on simple things that make life better, by  introducing a new way to experience luxury living. But 1 is more than a hotel – it’s a philosophy and a platform for change. 

Feel;

Taste;

Embrace …….

At1 the focus is on minimizing the footprints 

The interiors 

You’ll find untouched, real textures and materials throughout the hotel. From the wood that makes your bed, to the uniforms of our staff, everything is pure and organic.

 The Transition®

Being able to land and drive not only solves the “last mile problem” but inclement weather will no longer stop your trip. Running on premium unleaded automotive gasoline, the same engine powers the propeller in flight or the rear wheels on the ground. Converting between flight and drive modes is comparable to putting down the top on your convertible and you can keep the Transition® at home in the garage: flying has never been so convenient! 
Inventors around the world have been trying to combine the ease and utility of driving with the three-dimensional freedom of flying since the beginning of the 20th century. The “flying car” has become a pop icon of the dream that never quite comes true. Until now. Terrafugia intends to be the company that catalyzes the creation of a flying car industry.

Their first product, the Transition® is a two-place, fixed wing, street legal airplane which has been internationally heralded as the “first practical flying car”. It is designed to fit in a single car garage, be safely driven on the highway, and be flown in and out of general aviation airports. It brings a new level of freedom, flexibility and fun to personal aviation and you can reserve yours today.

Model x SUV by Tesla  

I L.O.V.E cars and Design combined with high tech engineering ! 

Utility, Style and Performance 
   
 
Model X combines the space and functionality of a seven seat sport utility vehicle with the uncompromised performance of a Tesla.
Every Model X comes with all-wheel drive standard, powered by two independent, digitally controlled electric motors. Brilliantly functional Falcon Wing rear doors fold up and out of the way to allow easy access to third row seats.

Falcon Wing rear doors fold up and out of the way, even in garages and narrow parking spaces.

Model S
   

*All imagens belong to Tesla Motors 

   

Highest safety rating in America

Autopilot equipped

Available All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor

Zero to 60 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds

Up to 270 miles range (EPA)

   
 ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

Dual Motor Model S is a categorical improvement on conventional all-wheel drive systems. With two motors, one in the front and one in the rear, Model S digitally and independently controls torque to the front and rear wheels. The result is unparalleled traction control in all conditions.

  
Conventional all-wheel drive cars employ complex mechanical linkages to distribute power from a single engine to all four wheels. This sacrifices efficiency in favor of all weather traction. In contrast, each Model S motor is lighter, smaller and more efficient than its rear wheel drive counterpart, providing both improved range and faster acceleration.

  
Autopilot combines a forward looking camera, radar, and 360 degree sonar sensors with real time traffic updates to automatically drive Model S on the open road and in dense stop and go traffic. Changing lanes becomes as simple as a tap of the turn signal. When you arrive at your destination, Model S will both detect a parking spot and automatically park itself. Standard equipment safety features are constantly monitoring stop signs, traffic signals and pedestrians, as well as for unintentional lane changes.

Autopilot features are progressively enabled over time with software updates. The current software version is 6.2, adding automatic emergency braking and blind spot warning.

You don’t want to waste time with someone who can’t give you their all.Fighting with somebody is completely useless. Waste of both your energy and time.We should not have to sacrifice, change or be someone were not.

   
 You shouldn’t have to force someone to make a space in their life for you, because if they truly care about you they will gladly create space for you. 

  
Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you. Focus on the positives, and soon the negatives will be harder to see.

 
Strong Attitude, communicate to the other half. Be clear about your feelings and emotions. You have two choices Wait ?or Create! Be  true to yourself.
