A new chair is making people reconsider the way they sit, and even the way they decorate. The chair, Chair-Based (it is also sometimes referred to as Chair-Bsed) by Anastasiya Gavrilova, looks like an actual backbone. It features a head rest that cradles the head and neck portions, and a backbone which fits with the sitter’s own backbone. The seat of the chair is balanced on two feet. This chair is meant to provide spinal support. According to the designer, it is supposed to provide “correct bearing,” and even have a “massage effect.” On top of being an ergonomically correct chair, it also has an eye-catching design that has never been seen before. The chair was produced using rubber, plastic, and metal, which makes it durable. It can also be adjusted to each person’s height.
An ergonomically correct chair has many benefits for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting. It can provide comfort without pressure or strain on the body, including the muscles, joints, and ligaments. A proper chair also ensures that the central nervous system is healthy.
If you love Anastasiya Gavrilova’s chair design, you can also see more of her work in the field of architecture, design, and furniture design on the Behance network. If you would like an ergonomically correct chair, but just want to find one at your local office supply store, here is what you should look for:
An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up of snow, sculpted blocks of ice, and, in some cases, some steel framing. They are promoted by their sponsors and have special features for travelers who are interested in novelties and unusual environments, and thus are in the class of destination hotels. Their lobbies are often filled with ice sculptures, and food and beverages are specially chosen for the circumstances.
All of the ice hotels are reconstructed every year, and are dependent upon constant sub-freezing temperatures during construction and operation. The walls, fixtures, and fittings are made entirely of ice or compacted snow, and are held together using a substance known as snice, which takes the place of mortar in a traditional brick-built hotel.
Why not increase your computer speed rather than feeling frustrated to see yourself lagging whenever you do something on your computer? Files may be taking too long to load; software's may take eons to open and so forth. These can be highly disruptive and result in a lot of time wastage. Not to mention all the pain caused by the constant hair pulling. Fortunately there are ways to increase computer speed and performance. Some of these tips are included below.
The first and foremost thing to know is that the choice of operating system plays a huge role in the performance of a computer. Choosing the best operating system is definitely going to improve your computer speed. Some operating systems are just more capable of carrying more load than others. By gathering more information about the various operating systems and their own versions, you can find a suitable one. But it is also important to note that certain operating systems have problems running certain softwares and so you will have to consider your needs as well. Partitioning your disks will also help your operating system to find data quickly.
Defragmenting the disks also helps to increase computer speed by a substantial amount. Every time you create a new folder or save files or move them, your hard disk will get more fragmented. Due to this the computer speed slowly starts to go slower and slower. Using the disk defragmentation tool, you can defragment your data to improve the performance of your computer. Using this option every 2 weeks or so will prove to be very handy in the long run.
Clean your hard disks from time to time to remove any temporary data that still might be there. This can be very useful when you have several GB’s of data getting IN and OUT of your hard disk every now and then. These files may exist in your C drive or in the recycle bin and certain large files may take up a lot of space and decrease your computer speed. There are various free software's such as Disk Cleaner, C-Cleaner, Defraggler, Recuva, etc… available for removing such files and thereby increase your computer speed. Also if you don’t mind having a normal visual screen, you can remove all the fancy visual effects and keep only the ones you need.
Another important trick is to always keep your C drive from getting cluttered with movies, songs and other data that is required to be there. Keep all such files in a different drive. Many people often keep a lot of their media files and other heavy data files in the C drive which results in the low performance and speed of the computer. Also keep a checkout for viruses and scan your computer at regular intervals to remove spywares and viruses.
There is also another way to increase computer speed , Overclocking It is risky, but it’s a great way of improving a computer’s speed. Still, there are a lot of programs that can help with registry clean-ups.
According to a report, the Google Maps team of the search giant just announced three new technologies yesterday that will create intricate and elaborate replicas of the real world detailed in a form of realism that no other mapping diagrams has ever done before.
The Google Maps team introduced three notable hi-tech features in Google Earth, including a feature to save offline maps in the Android Maps app, advanced 3D models of entire cities in Google Earth, and a new Android-controlled "Street View Trekker" backpack for capturing Street View images where bikes, cars and planes can't go.
These new mapping enhancements will be part of the next Google Earth feature set, giving people the ability to explore the world in a 45 degree dimension only possible via a live plane ride.
Google apparentlyused real planes flying back and forth around cities of the world to carefully calculate dimensions and models of cities the team have photographed and enhanced in 3D aspect. This process then results in an entire 3D replica of city structures set in a 45 degree aerial display.
As Google continues to push the limits of their mapping capabilities to the boundaries of reproducing 100 percent exact scale of the world's face, it's expected that people will no longer leave the comforts of their home to explore the entire Earth.
An app called Google Earth and Tour Guide is available in Google Play that'll let people explore the world altogether. The new Google Earth is coming to both Android and iOS devices very soon.
"By the end of the year we aim to have 3D coverage for metropolitan areas with a combined population of 300 million people."
