Can you wait two and a half hours for a beer? Well, maybe if you are making it yourself. Yes, now you can make a decent beer in under three hours with this new American made machine.
Two brothers Bill and Jim Mitchell and Avi Geiger in Washington have invented surely the most indispensable kitchen appliance of all time, the elaborately named PicoBrew Zymatic™, "The First Fully Automatic All-Grain Beer Brewing Appliance”.

The RAC of Australia have come up with a unique approach to tackle road deaths due to inattention. The Attention Powered Car. This car requires you to wear a headset that monitors your brain activity, blink rate, gaze rate and eye movement, effectively measuring if you are paying attention or not.

The House of Commons debate yesterday evening on the state of natural capital in England and Wales has highlighted the urgent need for Government to bring natural capital into the mainstream and work with businesses to develop best practice in accounting for their use of natural capital.

Study of Russia will also include a panel discussion with leading cultural and political commentators.

 
Until now I have never really considered myself a petrolhead, however I must admit that since purchasing my 'new' car, I am as they say 'in love'. The car in question? An Alfa Romeo GTV.

Needless to say that one night in Paris is never enough, but one night is all that I had time for.
It started with a train journey, and I'm sure you've all sampled the delights of the Eurostar, but in case you've missed out during the last nine years, then I suggest you give it a try. It really is the only way to get to Paris - so very simple and easy, turn up at London St Pancras, settle yourself comfortably into your seat, and a meal and a few drinks later there you are in the centre of Paris.

Yves de Contades hopped over to Denmark to take a look at the bespoke luxury designer bikes by Lauge Jensen.
A quick flight from London City Airport took me to Billund, Denmark, the home of Lego. Legoland was shut that day, however I was here to look at some beautifully engineered, chrome and gold motorbikes rather than the bestselling interlocking plastic bricks and their theme park.

 
The process of the regionalisation of Latin America has clearly seen Brazil emerge as the dominant single nation in the region, with some 193 million of a total of 572 million population on the continent, contributing to 40% of the region's total GDP. This massive success is partly  due to the underlying power of the demographic expansion of Brazil, as well as the pragmatic nature of its people, and has taken place despite the less than optimal policies of the country's popular President from 2003-2010 Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
