Given the large expanse of walls in most homes, they’re often the first impression visitors get when they enter. And as such, they’re the subject of much discussion when it comes to interior design. How can you turn a blank canvas into something unique and visually appealing?
Cricket requires a lot of equipment – cricket bats, balls, apparel, water bottles, and a range of protective gear – which means that you’ll need a suitable carrier for it. Nowadays, there are many different types of cricket bags, such as the duffle, rucksack, ball bag, cricket wheelie bag, etc., all of which serve different functions. Some of these are more suitable for training, while others can also serve as typical gym bags. Others even have a specialised purpose, like storing cricket balls or even a helmet.
Building a home, renovating an existing one, or constructing a commercial object for business purposes are some examples of what dreams coming true look like. And yet, the feeling of being on cloud nine can wear out once reality hits that there are plenty of urgent decisions and investments to be made. Of course, none is as urgent as bureaucratic chores like taking care of the building permits.
Fancy bringing the Aussie coast to your doorstep? Do you like spending your weekends at the beach but dread having to leave when sundown comes? Sure enough, the serene sound of waves crashing against the shore is therapeutic, but what if you could channel that feeling into your home?
Aging is a very natural process that will happen to all of us. The way someone ages depends on physical and mental health, nutritional habits, heredity traits and many other factors. Wrinkles and fine lines are the first signs, usually appearing around the eyes and mouth area, of our skin getting thinner, drier and less elastic.
Australians may never have a shortage of opinions about whether rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles are better than their front-wheel (FWD), but there’s no getting around the fact that of the more than 20 million cars, caravans, and utes registered in Australia, the number of four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicles in the country is the country’s fastest-growing segment.
If you want practicality, and sheer go-anywhere capability, then get a ute. And if you need extra storage space for that same ute, fit it with a well-thought-out ute canopy. There are dozens of different designs that go nicely with double, extra or single cabs, fitted either with a tub, tray or simply bolt onto the chassis. And there are different material options too.
Hatches are slowly and quietly disappearing from car lineups in most brands sold in Australia. And rarely will you see one making the top 10 sales charts. Thank utes and SUVs for changing Australia’s motoring tastes and the car landscape all within a matter of a few years. Die-hard motoring fans though are still holding onto their hot or warm hatches, as an alternative to the hordes of high-sitting, petrol-guzzling monstrosities. The Honda Civic Type R sits fair and square with the likes of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Hyundai i30N, the VW Golf GTi and any souped-up and turbocharged 4-cylinder rocket pumping close to 300bhp to the front wheels.
Most carmakers now fit LEDs into the headlights of new vehicles. LEDs certainly have benefits over old-school halogens and even HIDs that were all the rage just a few years ago. But times have moved on, and so has technology. Better lighting options are now also available for older vehicles, and simple upgrade kits will bring better visibility and increased driving safety. What’s even more important is that prices have tumbled and are more than reasonable for what’s on offer.
A healthy person who takes care of themselves generally doesn’t smoke, seeks to keep a healthy weight, consumes nutritious meals, exercises often, gets enough sleep each night, does not drink excessively, and does not sit excessively. Basically, a healthy person makes healthy decisions and does everything in moderation all of the time. When you consider everything that may potentially go into a healthy lifestyle, you can realize how difficult all of those things are in today’s environment.
Electricity is all around us. Electrical systems are quite complex and consist of many different parts that vary based on where in the world you are. This can cause inconvenience to laypeople and pose a risk to people who work with electricity. For that reason, understanding the different types of cords used to transfer electricity can save time, money and frustration. There’s a wide range of power cables, each of which is used for specific or multiple applications. I’ll explore the different types of cables, their uses and their history.
