Viva Lingerie Enriched With Vitamin C And Essential Oils

Get a healthier body with Viva's lingerie that enriched with vitamin C and essential oils. A better protection for your finest skin as bras and underwear is known as women's second skin.

Viva's lingerie was infused with Vitamin C and other essential oils. Now, at least the above anti-odor fabric seems to be geared towards athletes and people who sweat while doing something. This whole underwear thing leaves me feeling, well, not so fresh. Called Serenity Fabric (ca-reepy), it seems Viva is using a water-based extract from the Barbados Cherry and combining it with citrus-scented oils, then affixing this to the stretch nylon-poly material. So, as the day goes on, a scent is released from the underwear and your skin is absorbing extra emollients it needs to help hydrate and protect it.

GTC Pro Racing Cockpit

Boring or stress at works? Work could be more fun with the GTC Pro Racing Cockpit that's convertible between an office chairs to a Pro racing cockpit.

Some of the most beautiful automobiles in history have come from the Turin area of Italy so it's fitting that this quite innovative racing cockpit peripheral for PC and games platforms such as Sony's PS2 should emanate from Turin-based design consultancy MoveTech. The basic idea is that the solidly built and fully adjustable GTC COCKPIT transforms into a beautiful leather-covered office chair and the frame transforms into a TV stand. We're not so sure about the TV stand idea but the office chair offers all the same adjustability as an upmarket chair and at 350 Euro, it seems a genuine bargain.

The plastic used contains an anti-bacterial additive - similar to chopping boards - that means that it always stays clean and hygienic.

iTunes On Sony Ericsson

Learn how to enable iTunes add-on for your Sony Ericsson gadgets. Check the quote below:

Tea Vui Huang has created a Windows-based iTunes Add-on for Sony Ericsson Walkman Phones, Sony Clie PDA and Sony Ericsson P900/P910 Smartphone; it's called the Mass Storage Synchronizer. Here's the gist: MSS makes Sony devices show up as a folder in iTunes, and then through some crafty pp-synchronization the software copies the contents of the folder onto the Memory Stick in the phone or Clie. This doesn't look like the simplest of processes, and there is probably a manual way to do the same thing. I don't have the time (or the phone) to test it out. But Huang has created some interesting Podcasting apps in the past, so this is probably worth a try.

Rescue Buoy concept

The Rescue Buoy was a great innovative concept that saves life.

Rescue Buoy is a swimming robot in the form of a lifebuoy. It assists lifeguards by monitoring a stretch of water in order to identify potential rescue situations early on.

How it works: Lifeguards are able to spot when someone is in trouble from the shore, but once they are in the water often have difficulty finding the right location. The lifebuoy solves this problem by capturing the situation and contacting the lifeguard on the shore, enabling him to plan an appropriate course of action. If necessary, it will swim to the relevant spot and serve as a buoyancy aid until further help arrives.

The Yamaha's Singing Trumpet could be the best for trumpet beginner as it's programmed to teach. Besides, it's also playing your song by just "singing" to it.

Yamaha's Singing Trumpet is apparently a huge success with Japanese men in their 40s and 50s who can't play the instrument but would love to blow the horn like musicians in old movies.
You put your mouth to the trumpet, sing to yourself, and the horn plays the tune. Twenty-two tunes are programmed into the trumpet -- including saxophone, flute, and human voice-- and
others can be downloaded for 210 yen apiece from a dedicated website. Another exciting option features valves that light to show you how to press the valves correctly. The guide lamps turn on accourding to the proper notes, and the accompaniment pauses until you play correctly.
