If you want to make your rounds of golf go faster, try this new invention. Why spend five hours on the golf course, when you can use the GolfBoard to reduce that time to under four hours. That’s an extra hour you can spend doing other things.
This four-wheel drive vehicle hits speeds of up to a whopping 10 MPH and it even has room for a set of clubs. You just steer by leaning. The deck is just like a skateboard, so riding it is like riding an oversized motorized skateboard. Anybody can do it at those speeds. The 11-inch wheels give good traction, but won’t tear up the green, so it is respectful to the course.
Check it out in this video above.
We’re no strangers to the intense emotion of outfit envy. Every time Emma Watson, Solange Knowles, or any of our other favorite style stars step out, we say a silent prayer requesting that their outfits somehow magically appear in our closets.
But it’s one thing to covet celebrity wardrobes, and quite another when it’s the stylish baby who just went by in a stroller. Let’s face it, kids these days are dressing fiercer than some of their parents — which isn’t so far-fetched when you consider how many super-cool children’s clothing and accessory brands there are.
With that said, we asked our followers via the HuffPost Parents Facebook page to share pictures of their kids rocking outfits that they wish came in adult sizes. Here’s what they submitted — what are your favorites?

As told to Leigh Haber
Tory Burch: In Color by Tory Burch with a foreword by Anna Wintour, is a multifaceted look book illustrating where the design icon finds inspiration. While some of her sources (Paris, Yves Saint Laurent, lush gardens) are to be expected, others –obscure poems, hip-hop artists, apricots — provide a deeper perspective on how a former art history student built a fashion empire. O asked her to flesh out the portrait.
Her Original Style Icon: “My father, Buddy Robinson, was superchic — a dandy. He always wore dinner jackets at night and espadrilles in the summer, but with his own flair. He was even well dressed when riding a tractor or listening to a ball game on the radio.”
Her Go-To Color: “I love blue in all its shades and textures. I wear navy like others wear black, and I love the blue in flowers — cornflowers, delphiniums. There’s a Diebenkorn painting — Ocean Park No. 68 — that is the color of a swimming pool and always reminds me of summers at the beach.”
The Novel That’s Most Influenced Her: “The Great Gatsby, for the sheer glamour of it, for the way it captures something quintessentially American.”
What Keeps Her Grounded: “The women I meet through the Tory Burch Foundation — entrepreneurs who have tenacity and ambition and are giving back to their communities. They inspire me and remind me why I’m doing what I’m doing.”

This episode of The Future in Five is about a simple, but interesting subject — does dress code matter in the workplace. Does it really matter if you show up in a t-shirt versus a suit and tie? Should organizations enforce dress code? Does dress code really have an impact on corporate culture, etc.? Short answer: yes! However, it is part of a big picture where a lot of things come into play: dress code, corporate culture, technologies that you use, etc. In this episode I talk about why it is really important for us to look at some of these very simple, basic things like dress code and ask does it really make sense for everybody to wear suits and ties every day. It’s very commonsensical. Clothes have a huge impact on how we feel, our confidence levels, etc. If you force people to show up to work every day in a suit and tie, it inherently creates a stuffy, conservative, different type of environment. Does it make any sense for everybody to wear suits and ties every day when we are thinking of the future of work–customized work; employee engagement and empowerment; the ability to drive how they want to work, when they want to work, and where they want to work? I share why I believe the dress code is one of the easiest things that organizations can do to lighten up a little and show that they are looking to be more progressive and forward-thinking. What is the dress code in your company and how does that impact you? Tune in and let me know in the comments below!

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — A cross-border attack on Saudi Arabia by Yemeni rebel forces resulted in late-night clashes that left three Saudi soldiers and “dozens” of Yemeni rebels dead, according to the Saudi Defense Ministry.
A ministry statement said that a group of Yemen’s Shiite rebels attacked “border posts and control points” in the southern Saudi province of Najran late Thursday night. Saudi forces, backed by air force fighter jets, repelled the attack, the statement said. A Saudi-led coalition of mostly Sunni Arab nations has been conducting airstrikes inside Yemen for more than a month, seeking to blunt the advance of rebel forces who have overrun the capital, Sanaa, and were advancing deep into southern Yemen. The Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, are allied with military and security forces loyal to ousted former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Yemen’s Western-backed president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, fled the capital earlier this year after being placed under house arrest by the rebels. Hadi temporarily set up a provisional capital in the southern port city of Aden, but later fled the country as the rebels forces advanced on Aden. Hadi now operates from the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
Despite more than a month of airstrikes, the campaign has largely failed to halt the rebel advance into southern Yemen. However the Saudi government claims its coalition campaign has destroyed much of the rebel stockpile of missiles and heavy weapons.
The United Nations estimates than more than 500 Yemeni civilians, including more than 100 children, have been killed by airstrikes and violence. But Hadi’s government puts the civilian death toll at more than 1000.
