Weird Technology Futuristic Party Coolers

Weird Technology Futuristic Party Coolers


Coolers are traditionally used to keep drinks cool while being outdoors. Today, with all these technology advancements, your cooler may just be doing more than that. What else can a cooler do? Be a bluetooth speaker with an embedded blender and act as a power bank. Mind blowing right? lets take a look at one of such modern party coolers.



On August 30, 2014, "Coolest" cooler was succesfully funded on kickstarter by more than $13million. The cooler named "Coolest" was tagged to be "A 21st century cooler thats actually cooler", but what makes this cooler so unique that it attracted such huge donations?

The Coolest cooler comes with the following features:


The cooler is an all in one party box for any outdoor event. The blender gives you the ability to make mixes on the go, the usb charger serves as a power bank so you dont run low on battery power while you are blasting music from the removable waterproof bluetooth speaker. This cooler has got it all.
Having a picnic may never be the same again.

The cooler has also been upgraded so two Coolest coolers can now sync via bluetooth so you can double the sound. The rechargeable battery in the cooler is also removable, so you can swap batteries without the need for electricity supply.

The price of the cooler is around $325 (N49,000 - N58,000)You can read more about the Coolest cooler on their Kickstarter page here.

Another of such weird party coolers was unveiled yesterday at the CES 2015 going on in Vegas. The cooler named Kube boasts a larger capacity (it can store up to two cases of beer or six bottles of champagne) and a more powerful bluetooth range of up to 50 feet along with a beautiful innovatie design. This new cooler costs an astonishing $1,099 which makes it a luxury cooler.



The Kube boasts of powerful hidded room-shaking speakers with a beautiful design but the price may put people off. The device is expected to start shipping around April. 

What do you think of these weird devices? Drop your opinions in the comment box.

Dont forget to share this post with your friends!!!

PES 2017 Android APK DATA PC Screenshots and Download Links

PES 2017 Android APK DATA PC Screenshots and Download Links


PES 2017 (Available on Android, PC etc) is undoubtedly the best version of Pro Evolution Soccer Series since the early years of Winning Eleven. The game packs fantastic visuals alongside some very interesting gameplay. The Goalkeepers are much more improved and the game feels so realistic. New teams have also been licensed and for the first time the game seems like a worthy competitor for FIFA 17.

Unfortunately, Konami continued their rubbish trend by releasing a PS3 port with poor graphics for the PC version again. To make it more annoying, the PC version always requires internet access to verify installation before playing the game. This is because the game now uses Denuvo protection to prevent cracking of the game. This means that for PC users who cant afford the game and rely on cracks, getting a crack will be extremely hard this time around may be almost impossible.

UPDATE: CRACK IS NOW AVAILABLE. CHECK DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW!!


PES 2017 Logo

As usual, Konami didnt make an official mobile version for the game. Luckily, some guys have come up with a port for the game for Android users. This Android version packs awesome graphics, genuine match action and includes various real life players and teams. I have played the Android version and I really enjoyed it, the only problem I had is that it always requires internet connection. See the screenshots below:

Bring a Workshop to your Chapter

These workshops were taught by our top instructors: great teachers such as Lynne Chapman, ? ?? Chng Kiah Kiean, Don Low and more!

USk Leadership

by Mark Leibowitz

READ THIS IN ITALIAN
READ THIS IN PORTUGUESE


You might be thinking about starting an Urban Sketching chapter. You might be thinking about taking a more active role in your existing chapter. You might already be a leader of your chapter. What does it take to be a good leader of an Urban Sketchers Regional Chapter?

Our reason for existence is to encourage people to enjoy capturing the world we live in through sketching. The chapter leader is the critical person who sets a welcoming, supportive tone. A good leaders enthusiasm for urban sketching is contagious. As the group’s leader, you are creating a community.

Being consistent and reliable is fundamental. To do that a good leader has to be organized. Being fair is another fundamental. The group leader should never be critical and should encourage others to be supportive. We all start with different skills. Everyone has a gift to be shared. A good leader creates an atmosphere that encourages everyone to share their gifts. There can be no favoritism. Leaders need to bring their higher selves to the task and practice the “Golden Rule”, that is, treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Each chapter has three leaders, it’s a requirement. The work should be shared. Each group finds better solutions when their leaders respect each other and multiply their creativity. Leaders need to understand social media, so they can help members to post their work and so they can spread the word about their group’s activities. A good leader stays informed about Urban Sketchers, reaches out to other groups and is the conduit for information about USk world-wide activities.

Good leadership is the source of our success and our growth. It’s a hard but rewarding job.

Jane Blundell’s Watercolour Mixing Workshop

by Ann Schwartzwald

“Many people find colour mixing difficult because they havent analysed which pigments are necessary to create the colours they see, or want to create” Jane Blundell, from Sydney, Australia explains. Jane is a colour expert and recently taught a workshop called “Watercolor Your World One Mix at a Time” at the Manchester Urban Sketchers Symposium.

“Some [people] just use whatever is in the set they have bought. Some use whatever someone else uses. I have analysed the colours required to be able to mix pretty much any colour you wish, with just two pigments. That makes adding accurate colour to sketches much simpler.”

?
Jane Blundell
Jane has travelled and sketched all over the world, including visits with USk chapters in Hong Kong, Singapore, San Francisco, Paris, Seattle, New York, Manchester and Montreal.

In the workshop Jane taught the fundamentals of what an urban sketcher needs to enliven and refine their effective use of color and still be able to carry their gear.

“My workshop covered how to choose a set of watercolours for sketching; how to work with limited palettes to create harmony in sketches and how to mix a massive range of colours with relatively few. It also included tips for choosing the right pigment characteristics for sketching and special effects, and which pigments to use for creating building materials whether marble, stone, brick or whatever.”

Jane’s passion for creative expression in watercolor has led her to delve deeply into the medium.

“Watercolor is the most pure form of painting there is. Unlike other mediums where the pigment characteristics are hidden in the oil or acrylic binder, with watercolour the full beauty of the pigment is visible. Consequently one can play with the granulation or staining or opacity of the pigments rather than just the hue and that is exciting”.

What Makes a Great Workshop Proposal?

by Lauren Peterson

Ever wonder what makes a great workshop proposal? Gail Wong is a member of the Education Committee that reviews proposals for the symposium. Last year they reviewed 72 proposals and the Symposium Team accepted 26 for workshops. Some of the proposals that were not accepted as workshops became activities or demonstrations.


??
Gail Wong
A lot of work goes into preparing a great line up of workshops. But Gail says she enjoys getting to know instructors from around the world while helping them navigate the process giving them the best chance to get approved as a USk workshop.

“Being part of the Education Committee has been wonderful,” Gail said. “It has been great working with the other educators on the committee and getting to know them.”

The Education Committee reviews the contents of the workshop proposals, then provides comments and makes recommendations. The proposals then go on to the Symposium Team which makes the final selections on which workshops will run.
 

To help instructors increase their chances of having their proposal accepted Gail presented a lecture called How to Prepare a Successful Workshop Proposal at the Manchester Symposium.The lecture covered the selection process highlighting both the common weaknesses as well as the strengths of workshop proposals. This is the same information that should be included in any USk workshop proposal, whether it is for the symposium or for one of our global workshops held throughout the year. For more information about how to prepare a successful workshop proposal click HERE.

Urban Sketchers of Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada
by Jane Wingfield

Urban Sketchers of Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada, kicked off the city’s Oktoberfest with the opening of an exhibition in the prestigious Berlin Tower ARTSPACE inside Kitchener City Hall. The opening night reception had a great turnout with friends, family and festival attendees.


The Waterloo Region sketchers submitted their exhibition proposal to the City a year in advance and were thrilled when it was accepted. This was their second exhibition in that space.

USk Waterloo Region put out a call for submissions to their members and the first 15 works were accepted. The sketches had to be completed in the City of Kitchener with the group or on their own. Each piece was done on 11”x14” watercolor paper and framed and matted similarly. The works are on sale for $150 each or as determined by the artist and the buyer.

The show will hang throughout the month of October. Congratulations sketchers!

Traveling the world and capturing it through sketching seems like a daydream, but for Luís Simões, it’s a dream come true. Simões has been traveling the world since March 2012 and has no plans of ending his travels any time soon.

Simões (37) is from Lisbon, Portugal and worked as a 3D motion designer. After ten years, he decided he needed a change. During a trip to Croatia in 2011, he realized he wanted to improve his drawing skills and got the idea for his World Sketching Tour.

Simões sold his apartment and his belongings, and finances his travels with his savings and through freelancing and workshops.

Simões has travelled to over 30 countries in his four years of sketching and is currently in Bali. He has sketched Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, but can’t pick a favourite place. He is particularly looking forward to sketching the colours and stories of South America and Africa in the coming years.

“Traveling pushes me to discover more about the world and myself,” Simões said.

Simões joined Urban Sketchers in 2007 while living in Portugal and has sketched with various chapters around the world as he travels. For Simões, sketching is about having fun while telling a story and about capturing a moment in his trip. He says he’s always happy to see the reaction of people receiving a sketch.

“Once I was waiting for my flight and killing time by sketching some people. When I got on the plane, I saw that they were going on the same flight. In that moment, I decided to give them the sketch. It was fun to hear them talking about it and see their happy faces,” he said.

The World Sketching Tour has been a life changing experience, and has particularly changed how Simões views obstacles. “The biggest obstacle we have in life is our mind,” Simões said, “other than that, everything is possible.”

You can follow Simões’ sketching journey on his newly designed website, or on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr.

The individual sketching styles and a broad range of subject matter were highlights of the exhibition of the USk Pune diverse membership. Urban sketchers that include architects, doctors, IT professionals, engineers, students, and homemakers participated; each depicting the historically and culturally-rich city of Pune.

The architecture of Pune’s grand buildings is something that the urban sketchers could not resist capturing in their sketchbooks. The array of architecture included traditional Hindu temples and grand buildings constructed during British rule.

Partnering with a local art gallery, it was an extremely motivating effort by the Urban Sketchers Pune group with grand results. The community of Pune enjoyed the glimpses of the old city through the sketches of iconic buildings and old traditional residences called wadas.

The USk Pune exhibition was a great success, an inspiration for many sketching enthusiasts to join in the urban sketching movement.

 Introducing USk Medellin, Colombia



READ THIS IN ENGLISH


Lo que hace que Medellin un attractive unico / a dibujantes urbanos?
Lo que hace a Medellín única/atractiva para los "urban sketchers" es que es una ciudad con amplia diversidad en su arquitectura y sus espacios. El estar en medio de un valle, donde se extiende además sobre las montañas, hace que sus construcciones sean muy variadas entre sí, según el sitio en el que se encuentran; del mismo modo las dinámicas sociales y sus actores. La ciudad conserva construcciones que por su importancia arquitectónica e histórica resaltan en la ciudad y que se han convertido en referentes locales, las cuales además causan atractivo por el contraste que se crea con las construcciones contemporáneas que están ubicadas a su alrededor, como ejemplo los edificios Vásquez y Carré, y enfrente de la Plaza de las Luces y la Biblioteca EPM.


¿Como su grupo de empezar?
En octubre de 2013 motivados por la visita a Medellín del ilustrador Catalán y urban sketcher Lluïsot (
http://lluisot-viajes.blogspot.com.es), dimos inicio a los primeros encuentros y salidas a dibujar la ciudad, pero aún éramos muy tímidos en el asunto. Solo hasta Septiembre de 2015 retomamos las actividades con más frecuencia gracias al impulso y la experiencia de un ilustrador de Medellín, llamado Nel Correa quien compartió durante dos años con las comunidades de Urban Sketchers de Barcelona y París.

¿Cuánto tiempo ha habido reunión?
Hace tres años surgió la idea de formar el grupo “Urban Sketchers Medellín” pero sólo llegó a consolidarse desde hace un año. Desde entonces hemos venido reuniéndonos cada sábado, cada encuentro con 35 dibujantes y buenos amigos.


¿Cuándo se convierte en un capítulo oficial USK?
El 28 de junio de 2016.


¿Cuántos miembros presentan a los rastreos de dibujo?
Depende de cada encuentro. Para algunas ocasiones los encuentros han sido bastante concurridos, hasta 40 dibujantes. También han habido ocasiones en que la asistencia ha sido menor, llegando a ser tan pocos como 15 personas.


¿Cómo se describiría el espíritu de su grupo?
Desde hace un tiempo para acá el grupo se ha convertido en algo más que un encuentro para dibujar, en cada sesión compartimos con los otros nuestras experiencias y aprendemos de las historias del otro, muchas veces contadas en un dibujo. Más que un grupo de dibujo, somos un grupo de amigos con la misma pasión en común, dibujar.


¿Dónde te gusta dibujar? (ubicaciones favoritas)
Es muy variado. A veces dibujamos iglesias, edificios gubernamentales, universidades, edificios patrimoniales, e incluso cabe decir que, al estar en el lugar, las personas no sólo dibujan la arquitectura, también se enfocan en las personas, en la vegetación, en los animales. Situados en el centro de la ciudad, en suburbios, la periferia, los corregimientos… dibujamos en cuanto lugar pueda haber para dibujar.


¿Cuál es la mayor dificultad o hacen difícil compaginar el grupo juntos?
El horario. Es a veces muy complicado reunir a las personas porque son muy distintas entre sí: unos son abogados, otros ingenieros, otros diseñadores; unos estudian, otros trabajan, otros son amos y amas de casa… y por ello, cada persona tiene horarios que no siempre concuerdan con el horario que se establece para los encuentros oficiales.


¿Hay algo más que le gustaría compartir acerca de su grupo?
Aunque nuestros encuentros no son clases (courses) siempre aprendemos en cada una de ellas, y nos hemos convertido, más que un
