Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Generator: An Air-purification Technology Developed by Sharp - - Decomposes and Eliminates Airborne Mold Fungus and Viruses

I understand the words, but their meaning escapes me. This Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Generator is for the car and it apparently purifies the air. I’ll take two if it removes the horrible new car smell. It’s the perfect size to fit in a car cup holder and is powered by the cigarette lighter. From there, you’re seriously on your own as the manual is in Japanese. US$160 from GeekStuff4U.

The same positive and negative ions found in nature are created and released through plasma discharge. Plasmacluster technology, an air-purification technology developed by Sharp, decomposes and eliminates airborne mold fungus and viruses.

Wall Projection Scale - - An Easy Way to Keep Check on Your Weight

Scales are interesting devices. You stand on them, then look down to your feet to see what you weigh. If you’re nice and trim, you won’t have any issues seeing what the numbers say. However, there are those people out there that can’t easily see between their feet because of their weight. To get around this issue, one can purchase the Wall Projection Scale.

Wall Projection Scale

This device operates much like any ordinary scale. The difference is that your weight will be projected onto the wall in front of you, making the numbers very easy to read. This is not only beneficial for those who are battling a beer gut, but also for people who have poor eyesight. The display can be set to show the numbers at a height of between 2 and 6 feet on the wall. If this sounds like something you’d like, you’ll need to shell out $70 for one.

Roller-Shaper: The Rotating Body Massager - - Cuts Extra Fat Without Exercise

Roller-Shaper: The Rotating Body Massager

A lot of people are continuously looking for a way to lose weight without having to really exercise or workout, and the Roll-Shaper may be another option that gets the plump to the gym more effectively than a treadmill does.

Roller-Shaper, the rotating body massager is large enough to press your back, thighs, butt and belly and it comes with instructions for several “workouts” that involve holding different positions against the mechanical roller. 

Although the weight loss claim may be a little contentious, the manufacturers emphasize that the Roll-Shaper has great results for lymphatic drainage and ultimately for overall health. The image of a room full of Roll-Shapers rather than cross-trainers may remain surprising for some, but so long as users see some physiological result, this may be worth a try. 

Just watch out the Roller-Shaper machine in action HERE.

Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa, Bali: Ofers Private Little Villas Themed After the Five Elements

Behind an antique village tucked amidst rice fields lies Fivelements Bali. Instead of a traditional luxury hotel, Fivelements, Puri Ahimsa, offers private little villas themed after — you guessed it — the five elements.

Everything at Fivelements Bali is designed to be in harmony with the natural environment. The property is covered in lush plants, walkways that stretch elegantly over fish-filled ponds, and a series of Balinese-style huts that house guests, act as healing centers, yoga shalas, and as meditation pavilions. The tallest structure on the Fivelements Bali grounds is the two-story open-air restaurant, the Sakti Dining Room. The vegan food, which is mostly raw, is presented as if each dish and beverage will be photographed for an international culinary magazine. 

The element-themed rooms have beds cloaked by cascading mosquito screens, outdoor bathrooms that include showers surrounded by flower-covered stone walls and pebbles instead of tiles, and big-stone bathtubs with color-changing lights.

The healing center brings a grassroots feel to the luxury, as it not only offers pampering, but esoteric treatments from authentic Balians who facilitate sacred healings.

 

"The holistic Sacred Arts programmes at Puri Ahimsa involve movement, creative expression and self-awareness. The individual or group sessions are multi-disciplinary and are guided by specialists in Meditation, Yoga, Somatic Therapy, Aikido, Dance, Vibrational Healing Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Healing Dance Aquatic Bodywork. These programmes help us to reconnect with our authentic selves, opening our bodies and minds to newfound trust, freedom and joy."

Thermo Mirror from NEC Avio - - Read Your Temperature by Just looking at It

It’s the time of year when it seems like everyone is getting sick. I spent nearly two weeks battling the flu myself not too long ago. One of the annoyances while trying to fight off illness is taking your temperature. You have to deal with a thermometer, which usually means sticking something under your tongue, waiting, then washing it off. After all, you don’t want those old germs going right back in your mouth the next time you check your temperature.

NEC Avio knows how annoying this can be, and are working on a device called the Thermo Mirror. All you need to do is look into the mirror for a moment, and it will give you a reading using infrared thermography. Granted, the last thing you want to do when you’re sick is stare at yourself in the mirror, but I think you’ll live. The downside here is that they’re going to want around $1,200 for the device when it launches later this year.

We as a trendy blog have always stressed the need for maintain great skin and hair quality in order to look good in those Burberry tops and Prada jackets.

Cambridge Consultants will launch the i-dration, which is a concept fitness water bottle that helps you to “know” when you are thirsty. It is packed with sensors that communicate with an app on your phone. The bottle measures the temperatu5re in your room, the amount of fluid you have drunk and how often you did so and also use the phone’s accelerometer to check how much you worked out and if your body is running short of water and that you are dehydrated.

If you are thirsty, it shows a blue light and you would need to gulp down loads of water in order to put you back to a hydrated level. It is a round-about way of learning that you are thirsty. I mean, why can’t one just “know” that one is thirsty when they get the pangs of thirst? It shall be announced at the CES 2011.

World Aids Day: Dead at 20 - - Digital Life Sacrifice Campaign Started by Alicia Keys on World Aids Day

Digital Life Sacrifice, a campaign started by Alicia Keys, where the celebrity dies a digital death on the most popular networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter so as to raise awareness for World Aids Day on Wednesday, December 1st and to raise money for the Keep a Child Alive foundation.

Keys solicited other stars like Kim and Chloe Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest, Serena Williams, her husband Swizz Beatz, Elijah Wood, Justin Timeberlake, Usher and Lady Gaga. Each celebrity have filmed their “last tweet and testament” videos.

All in all, the fan base of these celebrities add up to millions, Lady Gaga having 7 million Twitter followers and 24 million Facebook fans alone, will miss these celebrities’ presence online.

The 29 year old Grammy-winning singer, Keys said it was “really important and super-cool to use mediums that we naturally are on”.

“It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up,” the R&B singer said. “It’s not that people don’t care or it’s not that people don’t want to do something, it’s that they never thought of it quite like that.”

Each celebrity who was contacted has reportedly accepted Key’s request to join in her campaign. And the hope is, that all people will join in the initiative, not just the famous.

The social media statement will continue until the organization raises at least one million dollars.

Subzero Warm Breath Mask - - Fleece Mask Preferred by High-altitude Mountaineers and Antarctic Scientists

This Subzero Warm Breath Mask is designed to recirculate a portion of your exhaled breath to warm up the incoming air and make for a pleasant breathing experience, even in the coldest Arctic temperatures. Anyone who’s been trapped in a cold spell can attest to the unpleasant nature of icy air, so this sounds like a perfect solution. Shame it makes you look like a mutant Droid from the Archeton Theta galaxy. $59.95.

This is the fleece mask preferred by high-altitude mountaineers and Antarctic scientists because it humidifies and warms winter air for comfortable breathing. A special ventilation chamber lets wearers inhale full, unhindered breaths while trapping a small amount of heated, humid exhalation. The result is a comfortable, fully oxygenated “microclimate” inside the mask with up to 80 percent humidity and temperatures 40° F to 60° F warmer than outside air. Medical studies by the American College of Sports Medicine show such a microclimate is healthier for the lungs, as excessive exposure to cold, dry air can trigger asthmatic symptoms.
