The project that brings space missions into fashion, sunglasses made with materials used in  space exploration 

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But  we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special“, said Stephen  Hawking.  

We come to understand the universe because we’ve been drawn to it since childhood. A  2019 study in China found that 56% of children want to be astronauts. 68% believe that  humans will be able to live on another planet. 95% dream of going to space. 

In order to go into space, we have learned to use materials such as titanium, unique in its  lightness and flexibility, and indestructible at the same time. Materials of the highest level  that the creators of Exers have decided to use in their products. 

Exers is a project born from the passion for space of the founders, dreamers and designers  who love the universe. A team that decided to put space missions in a pair of glasses. Not  only titanium, but also grilamid and silicone for the frame, and thermoplastic material for the  lenses, elastic and super impact resistant. Just so you know, if your careless friend  accidentally sits on your Exers, the glasses flatten out and then go back to the way they  were. 

“We were looking for the solution to a disruptive, extra flexible yet stylish and durable  product. What’s durable and resilient? Spaceships – tell the creators of Exers – We felt like  astronauts on their first mission, with the enthusiasm of those who have always dreamed of  space and now finally reached it. We made sure that anyone wearing these glasses can feel  like an astronaut on their first mission”. 

Two models, a teardrop model and a futuristic mask. Both combine great innovation in  materials and incomparable resistance to external agents with a current and recognizable  style. There are glasses with an attractive design but not very durable, or resistant but with  little character. Exers, on the other hand, is the meeting point between design and  technological research applied to materials. 

The project started on Kickstarter with a goal of 15,000 euros in 30 days and the possibility,  for those who will support it, to pre-order a pair of Exers at 40 euros, compared to 160 at  which it is expected to enter the market. Each pair of glasses has a serial number and is  unique. A ridiculous price to feel a bit like an astronaut and wear an indestructible pair of  glasses “created from the future”.

If you’ve just recently moved to a new city or are going to be visiting in a city for an extended period of time, you may also be looking for a new job in this area. But while finding a new job anywhere can be a challenge, getting a new job in a place that you’re unfamiliar with can be even more difficult. Luckily, there are things that you can do to help make this a little easier on yourself.

To help you see how this can be done, here are three tips for finding a job when you’re new to a city.

Consider Something Simple First

If you’re wanting something that you can do in between exploring the new city that you’re in, you might want to start by looking for a simple job at first. Doing things like manual labor for a small business or temp work can be a great place to start. Jobs where you load and unload freight can be great for those looking to get a few hours of work in during the morning or evening hours and then exploring the city for the rest of the day. 

Additionally, if you’re strapped for cash, getting a simple job as mentioned above can be a great stop-gap so that you’re making some money while looking for a job that might be more of a career for you in your new city.

Get To Know The Local Companies

For those who are wanting to get a more permanent job that will comfortably support them while living in their new city, one smart place to start could be to get to know some of the local companies in that area. Local companies often have an easier time hiring local employees, so this can be a great way for you to get ahead of the competition.

Once you know which companies you might want to work for, you should then try to become the type of employee that that company would want to hire. And if you can find information online about the people who work in the department that you’d like to be hired in, you can reach out to them online and try to connect with them so that you can get the inside track to getting a job there when one opens up. 

Get Involved In Local Groups

Another place where you can get to know people in the local business scene is in local or community groups. You can find them either in person or online. 

In these groups, you can hopefully connect with people who may be looking to hire people with the exact skills that you have. And when you get to know people in the local business scene on a more personal level, it can be much easier for you to land a job.

If you are looking to get a new job in the city that you’ve just moved to, either temporarily or more permanently, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you do so successfully.

Starts the crowdfunding campaign to support the perfect glasses to live the cities through the two  gestures that are changing them: walking and cycling  

In the past, revolutions came about through battles, blatant gestures, great ideas that were  sometimes too abstract. Nowadays revolutions come through concrete actions Small gestures  that we make in our daily lives: what food we consume, what clothes we buy and where, what  accessories we choose and even how we move.  

Flint, with its products, wants to promote and represent an entire movement: that of the new  urban mobility. The movement of those who can’t stand having inherited a world transformed into  a prison of cement and smog and who want to change it through two daily gestures: walking and  cycling. 

Imagine yourself in traffic inside your narrow and uncomfortable car, stressed and late as always,  maybe your back hurts. The only thing you will see is the license plate of the car in front of you,  which, like a spring, moves away and comes closer.  

At that point a young man on a bicycle whizzes past you. He is fashionable but not flashy, he has  a relaxed but determined look, he smiles with his headphones on; you don’t know if he is  listening to music or talking to someone. He certainly doesn’t seem disturbed by the inferno of  horns and clutches that surrounds you. 

It may have happened to you. It’s the change driven by new habits and all those everyday  objects that make it possible. . Objects that become the symbol of a silent revolution, made of  actions and few words. The revolution that Flint, the eyewear brand that landed on Kickstarter  with the motto of “true activism is to be active”, wants to bring forward. 

The design of Flint glasses, is designed so that they can be used daily by merging style and  performance. . The evergreen shapes are enriched by a double set of interchangeable temples:  one straght, for quieter moments, the other curl, for when you need speed and fast movements.  

This is Flint’s manifesto: to be urban adventurers, with a different outlook from the past. Because  the imperative is “Pedal. Don’t drive. Run. Don’t be in a hurry. Be active. Don’t just be present.” 

A metropolitan revolution through new and consistent actions and styles. 

The Flint campaign has just started on Kickstarter and will last for 30 days. 15 thousand euros is  the goal to realize a project that is an icon of a metamorphosis already underway and of which  Flint wants to be an essential experience.

 

For any homeowner, shifting to a new place and moving out is always stressful. This is because of packaging, labeling, lifting boxes, and transportation that are involved in it. However, these days, people choose movers to get all these things done right on time with perfection. When one of the moving companies that will move you out of state is a partner in the process, there’s nothing to be stressed about.

A professional mover can help you with easily packing goods and relocating them for you. When using a professional mover, there are a few significant points that you should keep in mind to make the experience as pleasant as possible.

Here’s a list of things that you need to do when movers move your stuff into your home:

Keep your furry friend away from the movers

Are you having pets in your home? If yes then make sure to keep them away from the movers as they can disturb them. Pets roaming around everywhere in the home, especially when the moving out process is going on can result in time wastage.

If the pets are friendly, and you think they won’t create any problem in the moving-out process then that’s perfectly fine. However, it’s not easy to keep the pets calm. 

Try to keep your furry companion away from those areas where stuff is being moved out. Also, you can close your pets in a room with all their toys and food so that movers can do the work peacefully and efficiently.

Don’t disturb the movers with your guidance

The packaging and moving of delicate items can make some homeowners a bit concerned about their safe handling. In such a situation, many homeowners start guiding the movers about how they should handle and move the stuff.

Make sure to avoid disturbing them. Movers already know what and how to do as they are experts and experienced. They know what they are doing, so it would be better to let them do their job. Right from packaging to labeling fragile items, movers will do all these things with ease.

As they’re trained movers, you can rely on them completely. So, all that you need to do is to let the professionals do the moving out process their way. In case of any query, movers will come to find you for your assistance.

Before the moving day, finish the packing of personal belongings

On a moving day, there’ll be a lot of chaos. Thus, it would be better for you to pack your things before the moving day. When you do the packing on the same day as moving out, you might end up with a lot of time wastage. To make the movers do their work right on time in a streamlined manner, you should finish your packing of personal belongings a few days before moving out. 

Carry valuable items with you

All the valuable items such as jewelry and small electronics require special handling. These items need to be carried by yourself in your vehicle. Your main focus should be on how the movers are packaging, doing the heavy lifting, and moving the stuff. For this, make yourself free from the tension of packing your valuable items. 

Moving day will be surely a hectic day for you so be ready with your valuable items a few days before the day of moving out. Complete the packing of all your personal belongings and valuable items so that you can concentrate on other things.

Appreciate the mover’s work

Packaging and moving out stuff is not an easy job, it requires a lot of effort and smart work. Movers have to give their best for ensuring a hassle-free, safe and convenient moving of your stuff. Lifting boxes, labeling, and moving the goods out for transportation are some of the works that make them sweat a lot.

A little appreciation of their work and offering some refreshment can encourage them. With this, movers will surely feel touched and grateful. By appreciating their work and making the movers comfortable in the work, you can make the process of moving out hassle-free.

Conclusion

To make the relocating process simpler, there’s a long list of things that you can do while the movers doing their work. Keeping your pets away, appreciating their work, and packing personal belongings ahead of time can help in making the moving out process hassle-free and quick.

If you’re hitting the beach in California, there’s so much more to enjoy than just sunbathing and people watching (though those are pretty great ways to spend your time too). With a range of beaches across the state, there’s loads to do which will suit whatever type of traveller you are, but should you move from California to Georgia?

In this post, we’ll take a look at some of the best water sports activities you can enjoy in California. Hopefully, it’ll make it easier to plan your trip and you’ll know exactly where to head to enjoy the beach. Let’s check them out!

Surfing

Surfing is synonymous with California. After all, where else did you think the Cali surf bro came from?! But it’s not just about that look, California has some of the best places in the world to surf, and it’s hardly surprising that in 2018 it was listed as the state’s official sport. 20th September is California Surfing Day, but you can enjoy awesome waves all year round. There are several surf schools in not only San Diego, San Francisco and LA, but in lots of the smaller towns and villages too on the coast. So, if you’re completely new to the sport there’s no need to worry. You’ll be in good hands! 

 The best places for surfing in California are Huntington Beach in Los Angeles, Surfrider Beach in Malibu, and most of the beaches in San Diego!

Stand up paddle boarding

If you’re looking to chill out and get an excellent core workout at the same time, stand up paddle boarding might just be the sport for you. It’s the fastest growing board spot in the world right now, and it’s not hard to see why. La Jolla Shores is a great place to paddle board – look down and you’ll see beautiful marine life, that’s if you’re not too busy looking at the stunning scenery surrounding you. The great thing about paddle boarding is that you don’t just have to do it at the beach. Head inland and enjoy it on Lake Tahoe or one of California’s rivers! 

If you’ve mastered stand up paddle boarding, you might want to give a different variation a go. How about sunrise yoga on your paddle board in the gently lapping waves, or SUP surfing at Huntington Beach?!

Swimming

One of the things that might put you off water sports in California is the expense and perceived difficulty of renting equipment. However, with swimming all you need is a swimsuit and a pair of goggles and you’re good to go! Swimming is one of the best full body workouts and it’s also a low impact sport. It’s also a great way to see the beautiful scenery of the state’s beaches. Santa Monica and Venice Beaches in LA might be iconic in name, but they also offer calm water that’s perfect for a paddle. If you don’t mind the colder waters, head straight out into the Pacific Ocean at Zuma beach in Malibu!

Sea Kayaking

Kayaking is not only an awesome workout, but it gives you a chance to navigate sea caves and spot wildlife. Like stand-up paddle boarding, it offers the chance to see the ocean from a different perspective. Make sure to bring a camera so that you can take pictures up close with sea lions or unusual rock formations!

La Jolla Shores are another great place to try kayaking, while you might just see flying fish at Catalina Island or navigating through one of the largest sea caves on the planet in the Channel Islands National Parks. And don’t worry about the barking – it’s just the sea lions.

By the way, an electric trolling motor can make your sea kayaking more comfortable and easier.

Snorkelling and Scuba Diving

You may consider scuba diving and snorkelling as more of a passion than a water sport, but considering it works a lot of muscles and is quite the challenge, it’s definitely a sport in our book. Those who prefer not to venture out into the deep ocean can snorkel closer to the shores, while scuba diving is a bucket list activity for many. 

One of the best places for snorkelling and scuba diving in California is Catalina Island – where you’re likely to come face to face with a range of colourful tropical fish. Others include Anacapa Island and Santa Cruz Island.

Whale Watching

Okay we get it, this isn’t strictly a water sport. However, if you’re planning to hit the beach in California, you’ll be kicking yourself if you didn’t know you could go whale watching! Visit Southern California in the summer and you might just have the chance to get up close and personal with the world’s biggest mammal – the blue whale! Whale watching isn’t solely about whales, you’ll also have the opportunity to interact with dolphins and seals too.
