What will 2019 bring you?

Time flies so fast, we’re already in 2019! You’ re probably wondering what this year is going to bring. Is it going to be a good one? 2019, according to the Chinese zodiac is going to be a year of the Pig.

Chinese zodiac system has over 2 000 years. It is composed out of 12 signs: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Each sign has a different meaning and characteristics. Zodiac cycles repeats itself every 12 years. 2018 was a year of the Dog and so 2019 is going to be a year of the Pig.

So what will happen in 2019? According to the most famous predictions 2019 is going to be a horrible year: robots killing civilians, flu pandemic, extreme weather conditions caused by global warming and many others. But, honestly, I wouldn’t count on the end of the world, so if you hadn’t made your New Year’s resolutions, it might be high time to do it 😉 I’d like to believe that we have an absolute control of our lives, therefore there’s no sense in searching through horoscope what’s going to happen to us.

So to sum up, take matters in your own hands and let 2019 be your year!

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 ...

Must read

Hi, guys! How's life? What have you been up to? If you by any chance found out how to be a productive person, please make sure to let me know, cause I'm still having difficulties with adopting to the fact that the academic year has officially begun. I, personally, have spent most of my summer reading crime stories and I just must admit that there's one, in particular, I enjoyed. Have you ever heard the name A.J. Finn? No? OK, so you have to change it, cause I can assure you, it'd be worth it. The book is called The Woman in the window . Anna Fox, the main protagonist, is a middle-aged woman, living on her own in the beautiful house in the suburbs. She spends most of her days drinking wine and watching people. Yes, she's literally spying on her neighbours. And there wouldn't be anything interesting about that, were it not for the discovery she's about to make. The key word in describing this book would be: the truth. While reading it, we have the...

Spoons of Victory

Do you remember the African Vuvuzelas from the 2010 World Cup? Well, Russia is no worse than RPA, they also have their special instrument for this occasion. 'Spoons of Victory': their shape resembles the letter 'V' like 'Victory' that they are about to achieve. The instrument was invented by Rustam Nugmanov and is supposed to help tapping the rhythm of the songs without causing as much rumour as Vuzuelas . The 'Spoons' are made entirely out of the wood and look more like a kitchen supplies than something that imitates the sound. Fans can bring them to the match and if they don't own one, it can be purchased at the venue. Do you think they'll repeat the success of Vuzuelas ?
