« Ok glass, take a picture » L’un des sujets phare du CES 2014 fût les « wearables » ou tout ce qui gravite autour de ces objets connectés que nous pouvons porter au quotidien. Depuis quelques mois nous avons découvert les montres connectées comme la Galaxy Gear, les bracelets santé comme le Jawbone Up mais également ces fameuses « Glass » développées par le géant Google. Ces lunettes connectées sont disponibles pour une communauté de testeurs appelée « Explorers » depuis bientôt un an et un kit de développement est accessible depuis la fin de l’année 2013. Nous vous proposons à travers cet article de découvrir les Google Glass et de voir ce qui peut s’afficher dans ce petit écran, ou plutôt ce troisième oeil. Les Glass sont sorties du « Google-X-Lab » en avril 2012. Les Google Glass sont remplies de technologies. Elle dispose d’une batterie ayant une capacité d’environ 5/6 heures mais comme un smartphone cette durée est dépendante de l’usage qu’on en fait. Mirror API Glass Development Kit

Proving a "Bona Fide" Marriage for Immigration Purposes - AllLaw.com In order to obtain a green card (U.S. lawful permanent residence) based on marriage, you will have to prove that the marriage is bona fide. This means a marriage in which the two people intend, from the start, to establish a life together as husband and wife. ("Husband and husband" and "wife and wife" works, too -- as of the Supreme Court's 2013 decision to strike down the federal "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA), same-sex marriages count for U.S. immigration purposes, so long as they are legally valid in the state or country where they were entered into.) Although marriage can mean different things to different people, a marriage entered into for the sole purpose of getting the immigrant a green card is clearly not bona fide. Uncovering sham marriages is a top priority of U.S. The result is that, when it comes to deciding whether a marriage is bona fide, USCIS will take a hard look, and expect the applicant to provide plenty of solid proof that their marriage is the real thing.

Facial Skin Care: Help for Sensitive Skin and Skin Allergies It's a cruel reality that once you're at the age where the little things no longer irk you, your skin takes the opposite turn, turning red, irritated, and flaky at the slightest thing. It's suddenly, well, sensitive! And if you feel like you're constantly trying to soothe skin issues, you're not alone: "I notice that more women are coming into my office and saying they have sensitive skin," says Francesca Fusco, MD, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

markmanson In my life, I have given a fuck about many people and many things. I have also not given a fuck about many people and many things. And those fucks I have not given have made all the difference. People often say the key to confidence and success in life is to simply “not give a fuck.” Chances are you know somebody in your life who, at one time or another, did not give a fuck and went on to accomplish amazing feats. Now, while not giving a fuck may seem simple on the surface, it’s a whole new bag of burritos under the hood. The point is, most of us struggle throughout our lives by giving too many fucks in situations where fucks do not deserve to be given. Fucks given everywhere. This is the problem, my friend. Because when we give too many fucks, when we choose to give a fuck about everything, then we feel as though we are perpetually entitled to feel comfortable and happy at all times, that’s when life fucks us. What we don’t realize is that there is a fine art of non-fuck-giving.

FieldTurf: FAQ How much does a turf field cost? This is one of the first questions most potential clients have. How much does FieldTurf cost? Here is a general estimate of the initial cost of an artificial turf football field. Drainage base The drainage base consists of compacted stone materials found beneath the turf carpet, providing a level surface which allows precipitation to trickle through it before reaching the drainage system. For a typical full-sized football or soccer turf field, approximately $4 per square foot should be budgeted for the drainage base. Drainage bases can have a life expectancy of 20-30 years (the life of 2-3 turf fields). Turf The turf panels (carpet) are laid on top of the drainage base and the infill materials are layered into the carpet to provide footing to the athlete and protection from the stone base below. For typical, full-sized football or soccer turf fields, a conservative price of $4.75 per square foot should be budgeted. How long does a turf field last?
