ASICS: At the Forefront of Shoe Technology
Just what sort of technology has ASICS developed? Features such as Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.), biomorphic fit technology and Twist GEL, to name a few. Let’s take a quick look at some of the most revolutionary features ASICS running shoes can offer you.
Impact Guidance System (I.G.S). In brief, IGS is a system made up of several components that work together in order to give you a smooth ride. The most important features of the Impact Guidance System are solyte and V-Trusses. Solyte is a copolymer that is used to fabricate the midsole. What is unique about solyte is that it weighs up to 50% less than other polymers commonly used to make the midsole. Not only is this good for speed, it also means that the midsole is extremely flexible and won’t get in the way of the natural stride of your foot. Solyte is known for its shock absorption and tear strength. V-trusses, on the other hand, are used to give structure to the shoe, and they affect the shoe’s rigidity. Different people (or should I say different feet) need different amounts of rigidity or support. Shoes with only a few V-Trusses provide light cushioning while shoes with the maximum V-Trusses provide maximum cushioning and can act as a brace.
All ASICS are built with a gel cushioning system. The goal is to create a shoe that provides a soft impact without collapsing too quickly. Twist GEL is a type of gel-cushion that is designed to respond in multiple directions just like the fatty tissue on the ball of your feet. Which brings us to biomorphic fit technology – the idea that your shoes should fit in such a way that they promote the natural, healthy rhythm of your feet in motion.
Rocobo - Interactive Robotic Pet
An evolution of the popular Tamagotchi from years back, Rocobo is a pet with a screen as opposed to a screen with a pet. The blocky little guy is also mobile... well, sort of - its ears flap and its tiny legs twitch and kick when it gets excited. When does that happen? Well, Rocobo is sensitive to different sounds, so if you place him (her?) on your nightstand beside your alarm clock, the strident sound will jar the both of you awake in the morning.
Yes, I did say "awake"... Rocobo goes into something called Sleep Mode from which it'll awaken, if not by sound, then from your pointed finger poking the button on top of its square head. Visit the Takara Tomy product page to view a neat simulation of Rocobo doing its thing and sounding off with a variety of yips, yaps and yelps.
Robotic pets seem to be taking two different evolutionary paths: the animatronic one as exemplified by Sony's Aibo robot dog, and the more purely electronic one trail blazed by Bandai's Tamagotchi and it's multitude of clones & copies. Rocobo is a bit of both. Its casing is superficially dog-like but the face, as it were, is a flat screen upon which plays a wide variety of expressions. Odd at first, Rocobo tends to grow on you - all part of Takara Tomy's master plan, no doubt!

Organic Clothing — A Return To Safe And Sustainable Practices
Due to the harmful effects of pesticides and synthetic materials on the individuals and environment, more and more people are now returning to natural and organic products. Organic clothing also represents a return to safe and sustainable practices. It is gradually winning people's choice since there are no toxins or synthetic fertilizers that are harmful to environment. There are actually many different materials that organic clothing can be made from like hemp, soy, wool, cotton and bamboo, but the most popular among all is organic cotton.
No doubt, cotton is the world's most popular fabric. Soft and comfortable, it's used for almost every type of clothing; Socks, shirts, sweaters, dresses, jackets, sleepwear, sportswear and more - all begin in lush green fields of cotton but conventional cotton is also one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up 10 percent of all agricultural chemicals and 25 percent of insecticides on 3 percent of our arable land; that's more than any other crop per unit. Since cotton is the one of the most widely traded commodity (nearly half of all textile products produced), conventional cotton-growing leads to massive environmental and health problems.
The fact is that the problems with clothing production do not stop in the field. During the conversion of conventional cotton into clothing, numerous toxic chemicals are added at each stage - silicone waxes, harsh petroleum scours, softeners, brighteners, heavy metals, flame and soil retardants, ammonia and formaldehyde etc. which cause adverse effect on the environment. Developmental damage, respiratory problems, leukemia, allergies, eye irritation, and nervous system depression have all been linked to these industrial chemicals.
On the other hand, Organic cotton is grown with natural fertilizers to reduce the environmental impact of clothing production. Mechanical cultivation and biological means are used to control pests and weeds. Clothes made from organic cotton are pure, natural and more breathable for delicate skin like baby skin. Organic baby clothing is super soft against the skin and therefore very comfortable to wear, making it ideal for babies and children. Baby clothes made from organic cotton not only keep dangerous pesticides out of the environment, they keep them off your baby's sensitive skin as well.
People with allergies and chemical sensitivity especially benefit from organic clothing, as there are no harmful toxic residues in it. Organic cotton clothing lasts longer due to its natural composition. From casual wear to sportswear, apparels can found in cotton organically raised. Woven from finest organic cotton they feel for the fabric is intrinsic and overwhelming. Organic T-shirts are quiet popular apparels for younger generation. The fabric is so comfortable that the users love to wear them. You will never want to go for inorganic cotton once you buy an organic outfit.
