Gym Equipment In Interior Design

Home gym requires extra space and there isn’t always any. So how to fit the gym equipment into the interior design without sacrificing the room appearance? Gym equipment can be different so it’s important to choose the pieces that suits one’s purposes.

Size

Big gym equipment pieces can overload the room interior design, so it’s important to choose equipment that will fit the interior. If there is more than one piece of equipment it is better to place it in a bigger room. If there is lack of space opt for smaller and slimmer models of gym equipment.

Style

It’s important to choose the right style of gym equipment as it will take up a significant amount of space in the interior and it can be hard to hide or disguise. Make sure the materials and finish suits the materials and textures in the interior where the fitness equipment will be stored.
It may depend on the size of the room but gym equipment can be placed in the bedroom, bathroom, or even the living room. Since the living room is a public space it is better if the gym equipment and the room’s style matched. But if the living room is decorated in traditional style and there is on other place for gym equipment it could be disguised with help of classic wooden screen.


iPhone ownership hits 40% in US Teens

It’s time for Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster to break the news on Apple‘s dominance of the market once again, this time showing a report of 7,700 teenagers in the USA working with the iPhone in massive amounts. The survey showed that this most recent period of study showed iPhone use up 6% over the last time it was conducted, that being 6 months ago. At the moment, it appears that a whopping 40% of teens in the USA own at least one iPhone.


This study’s results from the Spring of 2012 showed 34% of respondents saying they owned an iPhone, the same number of respondents saying they owned a tablet of one sort or another. Regardless of if they had a tablet at the time of questioning or not, 19% of these US-based teens said they’d planned on buying a tablet (or a different tablet than the one they owned) within the next 6 months (that being the period we’ve just completed now).
This number jumped to 20% in this most recent time period (Fall 2012). The amount of responses for owning a tablet at the time of the survey jumped significantly upward to 44%. That includes all tablets of all types, including the possibility of Android, BlackBerry, and Windows, amongst other operating systems backing their unit up.
A whopping 72% of US teens who owned tablets here in this most recent study said they owned an Apple iPad of one generation or another. Of the 20% of those respondents that said they planned on purchasing a tablet in the next 6 months here in the Fall of 2012, 74% said they’d be buying an iPad specifically.
The amount of teens responding that they do not currently have a tablet was roughly 35%, this leaving a gap of about 20% of the total sample that either did not know if they owned a tablet or simply did not answer the question. The iPad mini was also included in this study even though it does not yet exist – the question regarding that specifically, of course.

 The group of respondents that said they’d planned on buying a tablet in the next 6 months was also asked if they’d be more likely to buy an iPad if Apple were to launch a smaller device [as shown above] for $299. Of those asked 43% said yes, they’d go for that value proposition. Now we must see if the iPhone ownership numbers roll up on the iPad once the smaller version exists – we shall see soon!

iPhone 5 production slows as Apple fixes aluminum issues

The iPhone 5 underwent a lot of cosmetic changes that took the basic, overall design of the previous two generations, but used aluminum instead of glass for the back plate (as well as making it larger and thinner at the same time, obviously). However, owners quickly found out that the aluminum scratched pretty easily, and now it seems Apple is going back to the drawing board to improve the iPhone 5′s aluminum quality.


A couple weeks ago, Apple reported that the scratches that many owners are witnessing are actually from normal use and that owners shouldn’t be worried about it. However, a lot of iPhone users don’t take any kind of damage to their device lightly, and it was even discovered that some iPhone 5s were scratched and chipped right out of the box.
It’s said that Apple is slowing down production of the iPhone 5 in order to fix these issues. Foxconn has begun to enforce stricter inspection and benchmark regulations on the device to hopefully cut down on the number of scratched up units that leave the factory floor, but it’s costing Apple both time and money.
Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5s during opening weekend, but the company said that the tally would have been higher if there weren’t supply constraints. Analysts at RBC Capital Markets have cut their projected sales estimates from 57 million to 49 million, which isn’t a huge loss, but the dearth of supplies and stricter regulations inevitably slow down production. Both Apple and Foxconn have declined to comment on the situation.

Butchart Gardens in Canada

Butchart Gardens (The Butchart Gardens) – a group of flower gardens in Canada (British Columbia, near Victoria on Vancouver Island). More than a million people visit this place every year.
History of the garden – is the story of an entire dynasty Butchart, who decided to divide the garden on their land, leaving the craft industry. Right, the flowers grow far more pleasant than to interfere with cement!
Robert Pim Butchart (1856-1943) began production of cement in 1888 near the site of his birth Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. He and his wife, Jennie Butchart (1866-1950) came to the west coast of Canada by rich limestone deposits necessary for cement production. In 1904 they built their home on Vancouver Island.
