Découvrez l'art de savourer vos spiritueux préférés avec le système de filtration révolutionnaire PouraVida
Pictures must credit: PouraVida A new device is set to be the toast of drinkers — by improving the taste and smoothness of budget wines and spirits. The PAZ is described by its inventors as science, not magic and is based around magnets. The users pour their drink of choice into the hand-held tubular funnel. It is claimed that the liquid sheds its roughness and emerges refined, smooth, and “ready to be savoured.” It has no mechanical working parts or batteries and is cleaned by flushing with plain water. The US company behind the PAZ, PouraVida, based in Oakland, California, , says the device uses a magnetic field to break down mineral clusters formed by water molecules and minerals like calcium and magnesium. This is said to disrupt hydrogen bonds that hinder a liquid’s ability to efficiently penetrate cell membranes. The upper chamber of the PAZ holds the liquid before it enters the magnetic enhancement process. © PouraVida via JLPPA/Bestimage

A male otter walks along the beach as the afternoon sun highlights its smooth shiny fur, Singapore
A year in the life of an otter family, Singapore - 2017
*Full story: https://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/tu8d
British photographer Tim Plowden lives in a wild corner of Singapore that is also called home by a family of smooth-coated otters. The photographer has been keeping track of the adorable animals throughout 2017 as they have successfully raised a clutch six cubs. Their territory stretches along several miles of coastline, a network of mangrove rivers as well as urbanised sections of river and parkland. And Tim isn't the only person to be enchanted by the furry family with many locals having also taken them to heart. Tim comments: ?The playfulness of the cubs is enchanting and I love how strong their family bonds are. They always look out for each other and if they are apart for any length of time they greet each other with such exuberance it makes you appreciate just how close their family ties really are".

A frail old Singaporean man taking his slow-paced daily walk is no threat to a family of 12 otters who have emerged from the mangrove river to scent mark the footpath on their way to hunting fish in the park pond. A cross section of Sinapore's younger generations watch this unique sight from a footbridge in the late afternoon sun. Otters will typically flee when anyone approaches, they are especially wary of curious young children who love to get close to these popular animals! Singapore's Smooth Coated Otter population has grown and expanded into urban areas in the past few years. You can tell when there are otters about by the small crowd of locals gathered at bridges to take videos with their smart phones!

USA National Park photo series, America - Apr 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/qp3k
Photographer Nick Jackson set out on a 3,000 mile road trip to capture incredible images of America's national parks.
The national parks he visited included Yosemite, Sequoia, Bryce Valley, Dead Horse Shoe Point, Arches and Zion Canyon.
The breath-taking images of the national parks in Utah are characterised by their red, orange and white hues. The famous Bryce valley is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks.
Nick also captured images of Dead Horse Point, which is 2,000 feet above a gooseneck in the Colorado River. The photos show immense vertical cliffs, with canyons carved by ice, water and wind.
Meanwhile, pictures of the Mesa arches can be seen, alongside Zion Canyon and Antelope Park.

Scientists develop 3d gel smooth food for elderly, Germany, Apr 2014

Scientists Develop 3D Gel Smooth Food For Elderly
Scientists have developed 3D super-smooth jellified foods that look just like our everyday meals.
Scientists at Biozoon, based in Germany, use molecular gastronomy to create food that can be "printed" using a standard extruder-based printer.
Smoothfood was developed by top chefs Markus Biedermann and Herbert Thill on the basis of modern texturisers manufactured by Biozoon.
It is a concept for cultivated eating in old age or for persons with swallowing difficulties or other illnesses which make normal eating impossible.
Over 60% of elderly patients suffer from dysphagia, meaning that they struggle to swallow and digest food.
People can develop dysphagia as a result of old age, the aftermath of a stroke, suffering cancer or from several other illnesses.
Smoothfood uses raw, steamed, fresh or frozen foods which are chopped, mixed, pureed, pureed or whipped into a foam texture and then shaped so that people with chewing or swallowing difficulties can enjoy their meals.
Mathias Kueck, founder of Biozoon and co-ordinator of the EU's Performance, said: "The look and taste of the end product matches the original food item. But the texture is soft and gel-like. It dissolves easily in the mouth so that it is safe to eat for people with mastication or swallowing problems."
The technique deconstructs common foods such as chicken, carrots and fruits into a smooth form that can be eaten without chewing and then reconstructed to give the appearance of a conventional meal.
"The aim is above all to show chefs and family carers that fresh food which fulfils the requirements of the individual patient can be prepared quickly, easily and with minimum effort. ...

Strictly Come Hopping: The Ballroom Bunnies Calendar
With the new series of Strictly Come Dancing just a quickstep away, a new calendar brings us Ballroom Bunnies!
And one of the rabbits doing the hop - among other dance moves - belongs to ten-year-old Nina Dallyn.
The hilarious 2012 calendar depicts two energetic rabbits running through their impressive range of dance styles - from the Bolero to the Rumba.
They are seen praticing lifts in April, holds in August, the 'bunny smooth' in November and in September there is even a tribute to Dirty Dancing with a homage to the climatic lift from the film.
But rather than training the four-legged stars to cha cha, the images were achieved with a mixture of real photography and computer magic.
And Nina's 3-year-old pet called Bunny seemed to enjoy her moment in dancefloor spotlight.
Steve Bicknell of publishers Maverick Arts says: "The picture session took about an hour and a half, giving each bunny plenty of rest in between the pictures.
"Nina kindly loaned us Bunny on the understanding that we would treat her like the pet princess she is.
"We gently posed the rabbits by moving their limbs, but obviously used computer software to complete the more energetic moves.
"Treats were grass and lettuce which are their favourite foods."
Nina, from Pulborough, West Sussex, was overjoyed with the results.
"I was speechless and very happy when asked if my rabbit could be used for the calendar," she says.
"I felt very proud of Bunny when I saw the finished pictures and I think she really enjoyed it, especially the lettuce!"
The GBP 9.99 calendar has been produced by the same company that bought us extreme sports ...
