Why Garden with Technology? In many parts of the world, gardening is as easy as tossing a seed in the soil and watching it grow by the nurture of nature. For many of those fair-weather gardeners, using technology is more about fun than function. For others, technology is a necessity for gardening and farming, thanks to limitations in space, climate and resources. In the concrete jungle of New York, space is at an ultimate premium....

However, the qualities of a person that develops during the course of his time can really help in the long run. Dealing with every conversation or circumstance with dignity instead of foul behavior can gain much respect in the family or in society as well. As a matter of fact, each one of us exhibits all qualities one should or shouldn’t possess. We can’t do much about it. As we are all humans, most of our traits are innate....

Even at a Whole Foods, Greenwise or otherwise, the options for prepared foods are often less than savory. One of the world’s top rated restaurants, the Fat Duck in the UK, has released a series of gourmet prepared meals for the Waitrose supermarkets. Heston from Waitrose Supermarket Gourmet includes prepared pot pies, sauces, salts, dressings and otherwise for the refined British consumer. We love the concept, but adore the packaging even more....

Sound like a pipe dream? Note that these pictures aren’t renderings, the Hoverbike is a very real machine. The Hoverbike is approaching its first untethered test flight, a giant leap forward for individual aviation. It has been a stable test subject when tethered, and Malloy is raising funds to perform the final tweaks before Hoverbike takes to the skies untethered. Once the prototype is complete and the Hoverbike is ready for the market, Malloy hopes to begin by selling 100 Hoverbikes per year....

Under cabinet lighting is the one-two punch of good kitchen design. It is meant to light up drainboards and counters like you would a workbench, to show the space where you will be doing your chefly duties, and to give the room added ambience. To do this requires yin and yang balance of the types of lights you use. Before you ever even think about which lights to buy, you must know how to choose....

Whether it’s your partner, friend, or family member, feeling betrayed is one of those feelings that can make you feel bad about yourself, feel like you made bad choices in picking them, or even leave you second-guessing everything. It could make you question if they were right for you in the first place. It could leave you emotionally crushed with no idea how to get over someone who cheated and lied....

You might wonder if there’s anything you can do, how to stay friends with someone who rejected you, or even if it’s worth trying at all? Having your heart broken by someone you love can be emotionally devastating, especially if you had always thought the person cared about you in some way. However, with some genuine effort, you can keep your friendship with that person intact. But what if that person just wants to go their separate ways and doesn’t want to remain friends?...

If you’ve heard of Murphy’s law, then you may be familiar with the phrase, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” Although pessimistic, there are some days (or weeks or even months) where everything is indeed a disaster. Next thing you know, you’re in a major funk because you care too much. Never Be Afraid to Say I Don’t Need This in My Life Anymore To feel better, you might reach out to a friend, spend time doing a hobby you love, or ground yourself with motivational passages....

Thankfully, many places recognize that not all Americans live up to the reputation for being coarse, obese, narcissistic, foolish, violent, destructive, and stupid. That many are spectacular people who merely want to live somewhere outside of their nation. These places make it easy to transfer over, easy to survive on their shores, and you can even get by without knowing too much about the local color or language. Should escaping the majesty of the purple mountains be on your to-do list, here’s 14 countries that are perfect for ex-pats....

Today, I’d like to bring to your attention one such product that caught my eye: Lifta, a wooden desk organizer designed to both properly position a monitor and organize one’s desk. Available in Ash, Oak, or Baltic Birch Plywood, this accessory is both aesthetically appealing and magnificently simple (it’s essentially a stylized plank). Lifta measures in at 24×9.5×2 inches, with space beneath for a keyboard and mouse. Granted, it’s not a product for everyone – you’re probably better off avoiding it if you’ve already got your monitor positioned properly....

“The lead in ‘Beasts of No Nation’ was essentially a street vendor before we shot the film… [He had] zero film experience, little education…but he became a somewhat professional actor, which was astounding to watch.” – Cary Fukunaga Fast forward a year later, and Attah is coming off a weekend that saw him win the best actor at the Independent Spirit Awards and present at the Oscars. The 15-year old actor has been welcomed with open arms by the world of cinema and his debut performance garnered him critical acclaim....

Black and White. Dark and Light. There are two sides to every coin and to every personality. Have you ever wondered about your other side? The dark, unexplored side of your being? The one lurking behind the veil of acceptable social conduct? Perhaps it’s high time you met your shadow. Although your first instinct may be to suppress the darkest side of yourself, the truth is that shadow work allows you to embrace yourself fully and completely....

While many of Studio Hannes Wettstein’s watches are technically progressive like the SPARC MGS, their design is what is most valuable to the stylish watch buyer. Their make-up is simple, featuring brushed metal bands and cases with inset ceramic-style black fascias. They make a statement on the wrist, suggesting cool confidence when other watches are far too complex for comfort. The Ventura SPARC MGS is suggested to sell for above $4,000, as its mechanics are the first of their kind in the world of modern watches....

View in galleryRelated Reading: The Most Notorious Real-Life Gangsters Ever since Little Caesar and, The Public Enemy came out in the early 1930s, the mobster film genre would never be the same again. The depiction of organized crime became truer, and the bad guys suddenly became human, even larger than life. Critics have accused many films of romanticizing crime and turning crooks into honorable men. But this has never been the intention....

Largest Buildings in the World A huge building is not only a towering accomplishment of human endeavor, it’s also much more difficult to construct than something small, making the feat of engineering that much more impressive. From the tall to the wide, the round to the pyramidal, the long and the bulbous, we looked at all 16 of the biggest buildings in the world, for people who know that size is all that matters....

Remember how some years back, no self-respecting man would be caught dead heading to work or a meeting without a briefcase? Well, times have changed, and laptop bags are the new must-have work accessory. Both laptop works bags and professional backpacks do, however, serve much the same purpose as the briefcases of yore; carrying essential and documents while driving, biking, walking, or taking public transport to work or school....

The Cresta House by Jonathan Segal measures 5,300 square feet in total, split among three levels that use less space than they appear to. The shell of the Cresta House is a large rectangular box, open on the sides and top to partially cover the exterior patio area. This makes the house feel larger than it is– the design suggests that the courtyard patio is part of the interior thanks to a corner column and roof element....

Recently, Rochon released a series of stills he calls The Light Painting KATA, a visual study on the slow dancing martial artistry of Kata. The western translation of this Japanese term would be “shadow boxing”, a term that aptly describes Rochon’s process. When the shutter opens, Rochon bends, twists and throws the light around at arm’s length, not unlike a boxer training for the prize fight of the mind. Enjoy the visual dance below, and don’t miss Rochon’s website for more great light painting photography....

Each of the two Tree Snake Houses are lifted by a series of support columns, with the longest supports appearing unadorned like the trees in their proximity. A long bridge, starting at the ground level, extends above the downward-slope of the plot into each architectural cocoon. The living space, inspired by the tree snake, peers into the woods from its “face”, a single vertical window that is paired with a set of skylights above....
