What do Udo Lindenberg, Johnny Depp and Queen Elizabeth have in common? Well, these three have a passion for a very special fashion accessory - the hat! And this passion is not as developed as part of any seasonal trends, or weather dependent. This passion has been seen on these three for years.
Let's start with Udo. Can you imagine any of the German flagship rocker WITHOUT his Bogart? I certainly could not. After the way has been kept for many years, Udo hid below a presumed bald. The musician revealed the secret in early 2011. A handsome, tanned Brazilian has ratchet due to unrequited labor of love with a knife straight across the head. No bad injury, but still a permanent scar. Udo cleverly disguised under a constant companion.
Our next hat wearer, Johnny Depp, was tailored for his signature role as "the best pirate in the world" really. Private Harry sees the sympathetic rarely without his Stetson. His cinematic alter ego Jack Sparrow, oh sorry, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow needed pirate outfit, including bold-infamous three-cornered leather hats. And let's face it - without the selfsame best pirate, the world would still only half as sharp.
You see the Queen only rarely unguarded in public - and she never feels stuffy on the contrary! Remember only her get up once at THE wedding of 2011 between Kate and William! In addition to Kate's fabulous Alexander McQueen dress (and Pippa's much vaunted back) it was above all the sight of the moment. The 85-year-old Queen of England in her bright yellow outfit including matching hats left a mark on our fashion people. She looked great! Good style is not for sale - but the right headgear is!

GOLF TIPS: WIN POWER
One of the greatest pleasures of golf is to see the ball from 200 to 250 meters without it deviating to the left or right. You will find below tips to gain power and increase your distance.
Play with the bar for more power
If you want to gain power, imagine a pipe coming out of the ground at your ball when you are at it. Your goal is to bring the left shoulder (right handed) behind the vertical bar, and then behind your ball (as shown in photo) without moving the hips. Then transfer the right shoulder before the bar during the downswing. If you perform this exercise correctly, your weight transfer will be much more efficient and your ball will gain in length.
Hit the ball flat
Take the example of tennis: players who hit the ball with plenty of effects like Fabrice Santoro and Juan Carlos Ferrero have less power than those who hit for the dish as Andre Agassi, Jim Courier and Marat Safin. It is the same in golf, except that the effect given to the ball (slice and hook) tend to put the ball off the field and inside. You must hit the ball with the club to flat impact, in a position called "square" for maximum distance and accuracy. A technique for sure to get good square at impact is to verify that the club is at the top of the backswing. Here's an exercise that allows you to put this out: put your hands in front of the head making sure to have a good grip of course, then turn left shoulders up while remaining perpendicular to the ground. Reach the top of the backswing, observe a moment on the position of your hands and your club which are in the square position . By exercising this regularly, you will remember the position to be at the top of the backswing when you play on the course.
Stabilize your left knee
Powerful players come out to differentiate between shoulder rotation and hip rotation. As the shoulders turn a lot during the backswing, the hips should run a minimum. C, at the time of the descent of the Titleist golf clubs, solicited hips to come into, not when climbing (backswing). The hip action is linked to the movement of the knees. When the knee breaks or collapses inward, the hips turn too which makes an impossible good run. To improve yourself, make sure that the left knee (for right) is very stable throughout the swing , particularly in terms of the backswing. You will preserve the distance between your knees and ensure your rotations are synchronized.
Let's recap a bit: the key to increasing the distance of your shot is to minimize movement (or rotation) of the hips and maximize the movement (or rotation) of the shoulders . The best way to achieve this is to ensure that the left knee does not bend when climbing (backswing). Also, force yourself to move your left shoulder behind the ball to maximize your distance at most. You now have at hand the information needed to gain distance.

The RC 1209 in the test of Sigma Sport and Power Balance
Who wants to be more fit for the upcoming running events in the autumn? You can now rely on computers running the new "RC 1209" by Sigma Sport. It provides health-conscious and ambitious amateur athletes their running speed and distance to determine the distance traveled. We have a network of athletes tested.
Odometer and heart rate monitor in one
The athletes will have no problem, the completed connector can measure properly. Without appropriate training, one often only have the Internet as a measure to determine the distance, and thus some very inaccurate information can be achieved. Remedy in such cases makes the 1209th RC sport computer, equipped with a new channel, and digital radio transmission good. It measures, besides the heart rate, the distance and the speed of the rotor. Since every runner has his own style of running, a calibration of the computer prior to initial use is possible. It attaches only a slow running computer and then a fast speed rotor. But how accurate are the calculations of the RC 1209? In order to know exactly, we have taken the RC 1209 under the microscope. Our testers chose a 4x1000 m unit, which he completed on the track. And the result is outstanding, all four units were over 1000 m from a few yards of the exact result.
Individual programmable RF Zone
Apart from the speed measurement according to the manufacturer of the chest, an ECG measurement of heart rate is guaranteed. Clock in the current, average and maximum are heart rate is displayed. The individually programmable RF zone can be divided into the categories of FIT, FAT or OWN (here, the limits are self-determined) rate. SIGMA seems to have done a good job in the sport. In several runs at constant speed, the pulse values were always in the same framework.
The beep sounds only when you set the RF zone above or below, it acts somewhat disruptive. This, however, can also turn off the settings.
Simple and understandable
There are many functions and many ways. This can quickly lead to many higher-priced watches for running the incomprehensibility of the key functions. The frustration is the product of SIGMA SPORT which is not the case. In the test, you could even operate at faster running without any problems running the computer. Totals such as total calories, total distance and total run time will automatically disappear when activated. A good idea of the manufacturer, normally needs such values ?? only for training debriefing. During the training, these data would be on display, rather annoying than helpful. Class is that when changing the battery, the stored values are not reset to zero.
Additional clip as odometer
As a small addition of Sigma Sport, it delivers the RC 1209 with a clip to be attached to the waistband. Before you take the R3 chest strap and transmitter, this "Hip Clip" should be attached. Then, it measures the speed and R3 stations kilometer run, but no pulse values. A great alternative if you want a fast pass time or a short training session, is for you to tighten the belt on.
One must search long to the "RC 1209" which is something to hold against you, and if so, then it is only a trifle. Our network athlete tester was a little frustrated, as he pressed the middle of a training run, without realizing it, the button stopped.
Very good price-performance ratio
All in all, one can say: The RC 1209 is perfect for serious runners training for better detection or follow-up. Quite clearly, there are advantages of running computer even in price-performance ratio. Because with a price of € 99.95 together with the service received, the SIGMA is a clear competition. The "RC 1209" is the sporty look in gray and red colors.
