Have you heard about the Biome floral terrarium? It is controlled by the iPad, and is another step toward combining the technological world with the slower pace of natural cycles. The Biome capsule is made to simulate a variety of growing environments. The climatic conditions of the terrarium are displayed in real time, while light, water, and nutrients can be controlled by iPad or smartphone.

The idea is to create a versatile piece of furniture able to change shape to take on a variety of forms, including a chair, coffee table, and bookcase. The system will consist of seven wooden boards connected by hinges to form a loop. The hinges will allow the system to be bent into the desired form, and the included metal connectors will hold the piece in place.

The privacy pop is a tent for a bed, providing a measure of privacy in shared sleeping quarters. The tent is easy to set up, and includes large entry openings on either side as well as window-like openings on both ends. It fits on standard and XL twin beds and is large enough for a full size adult to sit up inside, yet can also zip down to fit in a handy carrying case.

UNplug the HEATER if you have one. An aquarium heater will break if not in water! This is for your tank only, am assuming you have already netted your fish/ snails/ other creatures and put them into a suitable container. I use a 5 gallon bucket, it also holds my tank cleaning supplies when I am not using them. Leave your filter dirty, but unplug it, you will need the beneficial bacteria to recycle your tank. IF you had a disease problem, then you must clean your filter and use new...

My idea is to create a blanket which can change the temperature whenever we want. Such a blanket will retain the warmth in the winter and keep our body cool in the summer.

Do you often want to bring in your daily life a piece of something new, interesting and unusual? I suggest paying attention to the exotic, sometimes confusing cultures of the faraway lands. These cultures are often a source of great ideas which can be applied for different interior styles creation. The Japanese interior is the most popular today. Many modern cafes, offices, houses or rooms are designed in the Japanese style. But sometimes it is enough to use some Japanese interior...

Oil lamps are still widely used in spite of the fact that they are toxic and not environmentally safe. My idea is to use solar lamps instead of oil lamps. Solar lamps work 6 hours and above; they are available for all people who don't have reliable source of electricity. Solar lamps have changeable solar batteries which are environment-friendly as they are recyclable. Lamps have brightness regulator, they are water- and heat-resistant and can even be used below -4 °F and above 131°F.

My great problem is that I'm constantly "feeding" washing machines with my cell phones, watches, keys, etc. My idea is to provide laundry rooms or washing machines themselves with X-ray or some other method to detect electronic devices before they start running.

I spent much time making my cat stop peeing all around my house. Below are a couple of tips that helped me (hope they could help somebody else). * Keep the litter box clean! Cats can be picky creatures. If their regular watering hole isn't as sparkling as they would like it to be, they will find somewhere else to go. * Clean old messes thoroughly. Cats are creatures of habit. They will continue to pee on your carpet until they can smell their own vile urine there. *...

If you want your hiking boots not to become wet, saturate them thoroughly. Here is one recipe of impregnation: * 40 weight parts of cod-liver oil; * 10 weight parts of wax; * 3 weight parts of turpentine. Warm up this mixture and add 20 weight parts of glycerine. Apply the impregnation on dry, clean boots. Then allow the boots to dry in the open air (best in the sun) and apply the impregnation for the second time. WARNING: Never smear your...
