THIS & THAT
From Coconut to Fish Oil: Test Your Heart Health Knowledge - Discover fads, fails and legitimate fixes that can help you live longer Which of these will help you keep a stronger heart? Coconut Oil Fad: Even though internet "experts" swear by it: “There are no known benefits of coconut oil,� says Cleveland Clinic Foundation Cardiologist Steven E. Nissen. Coconut oil is 82 percent saturated fat — 30 percent more than butter.
Antioxidant supplements Fail: Fruits and vegetables can slash heart attack risk by 30 percent, in part due to antioxidants. But research shows that antioxidants in pills have no heart benefits. In fact, high doses could indirectly hurt heart health.

Fail: Yes, fiber helps control cholesterol and lower diabetes risk. But if you pack fiber into snack bars and other sweets, the sugar can do more damage than the fiber does good.
Fish oil tablets Fail: These supplements don’t lower heart attack risk at all, according to an Oxford University analysis involving more than 77,000 people. Eat fish, not pills.
Slow-fast workouts Fix: Couch potatoes in their 50s rebuilt heart strength and function with a doable weekly exercise routine made up mostly of brisk walking, combined with one 30-minute interval training day and 1-2 strength training days.

TECH STUFF THIS CASE DEPLOYS AN AIRBAG WHEN YOU DROP YOUR PHONE! The only thing worse than selling a kidney to buy an expensive phone is dropping said expensive phone and having your heart sink as you pick it up to see a crack running across its beautiful screen. Not many people enjoy putting covers on their phones because of the added bulk. It makes much more sense to take care of your gadget than to give in to the paranoia and buy a thick case that hides your phone’s sleek design, but Philip Frenzel, an engineer at Aalen University in Germany may just have the best solution.
The Handyairbag is a relatively thin phone case that does a much better job of protecting your phone from accidental slips than most. When your phone’s in freefall, eight curled metal legs magically pop out from inside the case (think Spiderman’s spider-suit from Infinity War), curling around the front and back of your phone. They absorb impact like springs (or an airbag, like the name suggests), as your phone bounces around without ever making contact with any surface. These curled metal ‘legs’ (for the lack of a better term) can be flattened and pushed back into the slim phone case for another day, another mishap. The Handyairbag taps into your phone’s accelerometer, knowing when it’s in freefall and triggering protective measures the minute it senses that your phone’s falling. There’s still a lot we don’t know, for example would the Handyairbag accidentally trigger in your bag if you dropped it, or in your pocket if you sat down too fast (although there are workarounds, like tapping into the proximity sensor), but I’d rather have eight strange metal legs spring out in my pocket than let anything happen to my $999 phone! At the end of the day, a slim case is a small price to pay for keeping your expensive social-media-and-selfie-machine intact!
A BOREDOM-PREVENTING BONE!
Anybody who works full-time away from home knows just how real pet-owner guilt is! It’s so tough to see those puppy dog eyes look at you sadly as you step out the door in the morning. Created with this in mind, the Wickedbone is the first ever dog bone designed to prevent dog boredom! The chew-friendly, rechargeable unit is shaped like a traditional bone. However, each end is actually a moving “tire” that allows it to roll and roam around the house! This means hours of fun for Fido, whether you set it to interactive mode in which it plays with your pup automatically OR use it remotely with your smartphone app that acts as a joystick! It can move and interact in 9 different ways, so your dog will stay engaged and entertained as it switches things up. Not only great for pets, it’s equally beneficial for pet owners who can rest assure their pet is getting the stimulation it needs even when they aren’t present. Designer: Cheerble Studio
AMERICAN MONEY REIMAGINED When traveling as an American, one of the things I’m always fascinated by (and envious of!) the complex moneys of other countries. In comparison, they’re often more artistic and daring in shape and aesthetic than the plain old US dollar. This project by Andrey Avgust explores what the future American banknote might look like. Immediately, one notices that they have more depth and detail than current versions. More durable than paper currency, the design is made entirely of thin flexible layers of polymer. Some of its security features include unique PGP encrypted QR code and individual numbers printed by metameric inks that can be viewed under UV light. If you thought they were cool in regular light, just look at them in the dark. Designer: Andrey Avgust
