The beginnings of adrenaline rides date back to the 17th century, in Russia, and the wagons were first placed on rails in France in the 19th century. 131 years ago, we got the famous "Gravitational Pleasure" railway in New York, where the "first hand-held" cars "crushed" at a speed of 10 km/h. Yes, you read that right, 10 km/h. Which is nothing compared to the speeds they reach today. And where in the world can we find the craziest trains? In America, of course!

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?
Advertisements are full of stereotypical images that very narrowly define the ideal of beauty and social roles and, despite the declarative emancipation of the sexes, are still too often based on lived-in, patriarchal values, not to mention the departure of female and male images from the norms of authenticity. But what happens when we apply female stereotypes to men? The video has the answer.
They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Well, apparently sometimes, at least if we judge by Apple's series of products that they tried to sell under their own brand in the 80s on the wings of the Mac's success. Mind you, there used to be a time when it wasn't a given that people would grab everything Apple had to offer. iSurfboard, iToy Truck, iClip. Yes, even Apple has its bad apples.
You know photobombs, right? What aren't the upper arms and forearms in selfies just that? With the difference that these photobombs are not added value, but spoil the photo. But if we want to be in the team, this is the only option, even if it is a rotten compromise. As is also the manual tripod, which only treats the symptom, while the "alien" disease remains in the photo. But no more, here comes the cure, CaseCam for iPhone 5 and 5S, a selfie savior.
Julius Caesar's saying "Divide and rule" has always been relevant, but probably never more so than with the advent of Facebook and Twitter. In a little while, likes and retweets will become currency, because it seems that ruling the Internet and advertising is no longer enough. Chasing them is a modern gladiatorial game, which does not measure the quality of the 'competitor' but his popularity. And there is no better arena than a music video.
Probably no one could stay ice cold while watching the trailer for the highly anticipated movie "50 Shades of Grey." But the hot video was cooled down a bit by the lucky combination with the cartoon Frozen, which, with the text from the trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey, turned the pure love of Disney heroes into an adult, much dirtier game.
Wi-Fi connection and signal are drugs for smartphones, and without them, they are like nervous wrecks who don't know exactly what to do with themselves. But there is a cure, the GoTenna, a pocket antenna that doesn't have the phrase "no network" in its vocabulary and that shows your phone that life without a carrier signal isn't the end of the world. And even if you are at the end of the world, it allows the phone to be functional and not just an end in itself.
Jaguar in the water is not a scene from a movie about James Bond and his amphibious cars, but a scene from real life. Jaguars are considered the best 'swimmers' among wild cats and this video, recorded somewhere in the heart of Brazil, is proof that not all crocodiles peek out of the water.
Making iced coffee has never been as easy and fast as with Zoku, a stainless steel thermos. All you have to do is pre-cool it in the freezer, then pour freshly brewed coffee into it and cover with an insulating vacuum cap. And then the magic happens, because the next moment your coffee is ice cold. Say no to chilling and diluting with ice cream and ice.
Vittel's stopper is 'Bilobil' for drinking enough water as it reminds you to stay hydrated. With today's pace and amount of work, as many as 80% people forget to sleep enough during the day. By the time the body sets off the red alarm, it's usually too late, which gave Vittel the idea to equip his red caps with a flag and a timer. They remind you for an hour at most that it's time for a sip or two and thus keep you in the 'fight' for 8 glasses a day.
Have you ever faced a lack of space, either in the living room or in the kitchen? You must have had to give up a piece of furniture in order to save space and allow it to 'breathe'. But if you decide on Expand furniture products, you can avoid rotten compromises, as it offers convertible furniture that literally relativizes the square footage of the room.
At the turn of the millennium, business schools, the forges of MBAs, flourished, as MBAs were a valuable commodity, especially valued in the West. Employers were looking for them, and with a position in the company, this level of education also brought a 'high' status and reputation. But today the competition is so concentrated that the smallest details decide, so even an MBA student is no longer what he used to be. Now more than ever, the choice of business school also counts, and you can see the top 25 below.
