Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
The Apple Watch smart watch is naturally waterproof, as it boasts an IPX7 certificate, which means that it can survive in water up to a depth of one meter for a maximum of 30 minutes without damage, but Apple does not recommend this either. That's why Catalyst stepped in, a respected maker of protective iPhone cases that has long been a loyal Apple "security guard". And after iPhones, they have now taken the Apple Watch under their wing and made them truly waterproof (IP68 certificate).

An old poetic saying says that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, but today healthcare adds to that that of health as well. With them I express my mood - joy, anger, love, hatred, sadness... They are the door to the soul of fellow human beings and one of the first contacts of man with the world. They speak their own language and often say more than a thousand words, just like photographs. And the French photographer Réhahn, one of those photographers who can perfectly capture human emotions, offered us a day of open doors into the souls of many people from different parts of the world.
More and more people today are looking for fresher, more organic and more locally produced food, as the desire for a healthy diet is stronger than ever. And it starts with herbs, which are one of those ingredients that we use on a daily basis. Some have them (not fresh) in doses (transparent jars), while others are planted in pots and on the windowsill. Both of them will now easily come up with the Verdure planter, a self-watering pot that aesthetically grows herbs in the kitchen and satisfies both camps.
The TouchJet company has struck again. After they pleasantly surprised us with the TouchPico miniature projector, which can turn any wall into a touch screen, they left us speechless again with the TouchJet Wave device. Like the projector, this is looking for start-up funds on Indiegogo, where it has literally "pomed" the set goal. How not, when every television screen is turned into a touch screen, which becomes a bulky Android tablet for just over 100 euros.
The electric motor segment is a fertile field for motorcycle designers. Instead of arranging complex internal combustion engines, they are dealing with an extremely simple and compact engine and a flexible battery pack. Plus, no one has really mapped out what an e-bike should look like, so they can experiment with ideas that would never hold water in the octane world. A typical example: the Expemotion e-raw motorcycle with a wooden seat and an iPhone for the dashboard.
"It's alive," radical scientist Victor Frankenstein (James McAvoy from the X-Men series, where he's known as Professor X) whispers to Igor (Daniel Radcliffe, who hasn't left the dark rooms since Harry Potter) when the monster comes to life. But who is the monster, we ask ourselves when we watch the first trailer for the horror film Victor Frankenstein? Scientist or monster? Is it a noble vision of helping humanity, or is the idea of immortality an obsession with dire consequences?
Cork is one of those wonderful materials that can be used for many things. Which is a pretty handy fact considering it's used to make wine stoppers. And wine, we know, is one of the most popular drinks in the world. But what to do with all those corks? The next time you open a bottle of wine or champagne, don't throw it in the trash, because its job doesn't end there. You can reuse it in many ways.
Even if you don't go to the gym and can't tell the difference between an elliptical and an exercise bike, we can bet that sneakers form a large part of your footwear wardrobe. Because they are comfortable, trendy and we (almost never) get blisters. In 2015, thanks to brands like Adidas, Nike, Reebok and other giants of the sports and trendy footwear industry, we witnessed the revival of many popular models from the past. So check out which geek sneakers will rule this fall.
If you manage to find a private island in the real estate market right now, this notion of luxury, freedom and privacy, it is probably very remote and in danger of sharing the fate of more than 18 that have already been submerged by sea level. If none of these are the case, then the astronomical price will probably put you off. The private islands of Amillarah Private Islands - except for the last fact - do not know the mentioned problems. These are environmentally friendly floating islands that you can not only tailor, but also "place" where you like.
Behind the rain the sun shines (2013), American Deception (2014) and Sniper (2015) and Burnt (2016?). Bradley Cooper has always been in the running for an Oscar for the past three years, but the statuette eluded him each time - twice for the main role and once for the supporting male role. With his next project, the film Burnt, where he plays a troubled chef who has had everything and lost everything, will he finally lick the cream more than just his dessert in the film and also pick up the most prestigious acting award? Is 2016 the year of Leonardo DiCaprio after all?
