Book recommendations

If you're looking for something to read, here are few of my recommendations for you:

A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara:

The book tells a tale of real friendship. It's about a group of four men who move to New York to start they life, their careers, to make way for themselves. The story describes all their ups and downs, confronts lots of heavy and difficult topics. It's unquestionably not a nice and easy book, but it's worthy to go through it.

The Girl in the fog by Donato Carrisi:

It's a classical detective story. The sixteen years old girl is missing. The protagonist, Detective Vogel, comes to a small village in the mountains to help find the kidnapper, but he's more concerned in repairing his reputation that in the investigation. The bestselling book has been adapted and directed by the same Donato Carrisi who wrote it.

The woman in the window by A.J.Finn:

The main character, Anna Fox, suffers from the agoraphobia. She doesn't leave her home and her only entertainment is to spy on her neighbours. One day she witnesses something terrible, but nobody believes her and even she starts to doubt in what she saw. It's a nice written thriller that keeps you on your toes till the last page.

5 WEIRD RULES THAT ROYAL FAMILY HAS TO FOLLOW

Being royal has plenty of perks, but it’s not always that great to be a part of the Family. Anyone who has ever watched The Crown or any other documentary about British Royal Family, knows that with the power and privileges come also responsibilities and set of rules they’re obligated to follow. You might have already heard about some of the Royals weird traditions, this is the list of 5 rules that I, personally, find the most bizarre. 1. They can not play Monopoly Why? It’s simple. Prince Andrew, Elisabeth II’s son, once he took part in some public event. He’s been introduced to the game and its rules, but he didn’t quite liked it. Therefore, he decided that Monopoly should be forbidden and members of the family should not be allowed to play it. 2. The British Royal Family can not eat seafood Seafood can cause food poisoning, that’s why the Royals can not eat crabs, mussels or shrimps. 3. They have ...

In 2015: More people have died by taking selfies than by shark attacks

Although people tend to be afraid of shark attacks, the fear is not entirely justified and it most likely a result of movies fiction than being a witness of one. In fact, in 2015, there have been twelve recorded selfie deaths in comparison to eight people dying because of shark attacks. Most of the selfie-related deaths have been due to falling. The next most common is when people are trying to take a selfie, and they're hit by a moving vehicle. In order to get a good shoot people risk more and more. Everyone wants to have an unique picture. Some are crossing the line and in exchange for likes are taking the whole selfie thing a little too far. In Russia selfie deaths have become so popular that the government even released a guide detailing how not to die while taking a picture of yourself.

How did fitness tracker help resolve murder investigation?

Lately, I came across an article about how fitness tracker helped resolving the murder investigation. Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to read it cause it appeared to be quite unusual. So, not to prolong: thing was happening in California. 67-years old woman was found in her house with wounds around her head and neck. Last person who saw her that day was her father, 80-years old Anthony Aiello. While asked about their meeting, he testified that they ate together and that they parted on good terms. Little did he know, that his daughter wore a fitness tracker on her wrist. Smartwatches like this can show us how many steps we make during the day, what’s our daily calories intake and among many others: they can measure our heartbeat. So, as you may have already guessed: the police with a help of the tracker could easily estimate the time of the death…and surprise, surprise: It happened to be exactly while she was supposed to be having a meal with her father. This time technology has ...
