Yoga mat

They are also commonly known as non-slip mats, non-skid mats or sticky mats. History[edit] Ancient yoga practice in India was originally conducted on kusha grass, on hard earth without any cover, or on a rug of deer or tiger skin. Due to the scarcity and cost of such rugs,[1] they are now rarely used even in India.[2] With yoga's introduction in the West, many practitioners used towels or cotton mats on wooden floors. In 1982, while teaching yoga in Germany, Angela Farmer used carpet underlay cut to towel size during yoga classes; later she returned home to London with the material.

Spa

Spa towns or spa resorts (including hot springs resorts) typically offer various health treatments. The belief in the curative powers of mineral waters goes back to prehistoric times. Such practices have been popular worldwide, but are especially widespread in Europe and Japan. Day spas are also quite popular, and offer various personal care treatments. Origins of the term[edit] The term is derived from the name of the town of Spa, Belgium, whose name is known back to Roman times, when the location was called Aquae Spadanae,[1] sometimes incorrectly connected to the Latin word “spargere” meaning to scatter, sprinkle or moisten.[2] Desk. A desk is also known as a bureau, counter, davenport, escritoire, lectern, reading stand, rolltop desk, school desk, workspace or writing desk.[6] In Spanish a desk is called escritorio.[7] Etymology[edit] The word desk comes from the Modern Latin word desca, “table to write on”, from the mid 14th century.[8] It is a modification of the Old Italian desco table, from Latin discus dish, disc.[2] The word desk has been used figuratively since 1797.[8] Early desks[edit]

Food in a refrigerator with its door open A side-by side refrigerator with an icemaker A refrigerator (colloquially fridge) is a common household appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump (mechanical, electronic, or chemical) that transfers heat from the inside of the fridge to its external environment so that the inside of the fridge is cooled to a temperature below the ambient temperature of the room.

Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi, also spelled Wifi or WiFi, is a technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet wirelessly using 2.4 GHz UHF and 5 GHz SHF radio waves.

Wi-Fi

The name is a trademark name, and was stated to be a play on the audiophile term Hi-Fi. The Wi-Fi Alliance defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network (WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' (IEEE) 802.11 standards".[1] However, since most modern WLANs are based on these standards, the term "Wi-Fi" is used in general English as a synonym for "WLAN". Only Wi-Fi products that complete Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification testing successfully may use the "Wi-Fi CERTIFIED" trademark. Depiction of a device sending information wirelessly to another device, both connected to the local network, in order to print a document.

Mirror. A first surface mirror coated with aluminum and enhanced with dielectric coatings. The mirror was constructed from an optical flat with a flatness of /20, which equates to a surface deviation less than 31.6 nanometers. Some mirrors also filter out some wavelengths, while preserving other wavelengths in the reflection. This is different from other light-reflecting objects that do not preserve much of the original wave signal other than color and diffuse reflected light. The most familiar type of mirror is the plane mirror, which has a flat surface.
