This trackable RFID-blocking wallet provides the fastest card access to date and is solar-charged.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/MWmSAsrQ.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAfter raising over $1,000,000 in their previous crowdfunding campaign, Ekster\u00ae, the world\u2019s largest smart wallet brand, has launched their third-generation product line. This time they have engineered both the slimmest and the first voice-activated smart wallet to date. Owners can now ring their wallet, find it on a map or even make use of the widespread Chipolo\u00ae community to help locate their missing belongings. Battery issues are no longer an issue due to Ekster\u2019s solar-powered tracking solution, which can last up to 2 whole months on a full charge. These RFID blocking wallets are held together by handcrafted premium leather for a luxury look and feel, and provide instant card access at the click of a button.<\/p>\n<p>The First Voice-activated Smart Wallet Ekster\u2019s products are now compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. This means you can now locate your wallet or phone using your smart speaker, or even just use voice command on your phone using either of the two apps. Your assistant can make your wallet ring, or it can tell you where it was last seen on a map. All you need to do is install the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa app and follow the simple steps to enable Chipolo for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The First Solar-Charged Smart Wallet <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Pw8HM8V8.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n\u201cThis is the first solar-charged smart wallet on the market, which means you won\u2019t ever have to charge or replace your tracker batteries\u201d said Richard Canneman, Co-founder. Their solar-charging solution does not require direct sunlight to charge and only requires three hours of charge time to last two months with full worldwide tracking functionality. Ekster\u2019s solar technology is now even being implemented by major global shipping companies like Fedex to track their containers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partnered with Chipolo\u00ae <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chipolo is known for creating the world\u2019s slimmest and loudest tracking devices. This partnership has allowed Ekster\u00ae to trim the thickness of their trackers in half (0.09\u201d) as well as make them sound twice as loud. The upgraded Bluetooth 4.2 provides a more<br \/>\nstable connection and doubles the connectivity range. Each tracker has a unique QR code that links it to your smartphone like a fingerprint. If your wallet is lost and someone finds it, by scanning this QR code a message will be sent to you, immediately letting you know where the wallet is. Chipolo&#8217;s worldwide crowd GPS tracker network spans across the globe to help you find your wallet even when it\u2019s out of Bluetooth range. When any user is within range of your lost item, you receive a GPS update of its location. A fun new feature that was added is the ability to use your tracker as a selfie remote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Faster Card Access <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ekster\u2019s new smart wallets hold at least 12 cards, but users can enjoy instant access for up to six cards with the click of a button using Ekster\u2019s new and improved card access mechanism. It\u2019s simple &#8211; click the trigger, and the cards are immediately ejected without having to open the Ekster Wallet. With the secret inner coating and mechanism redesign, your cards now eject further for easier access.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RFID Blocking <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Credit and debit cards issued within the past decade have RFID and NFC technology embedded in them. Cards with this technology can be activated and duplicated from a distance, causing security issues for important data like banking information. Traditional wallets are no longer safe to use \u2013 and the Ekster Wallet blocks out all signals with its aluminum cardholder, keeping users fully protected against any data theft.<br \/>\nPricing and Availability Ekster\u00ae has added a new product to the line and has released three new colours. The range of models and colours includes the Parliament Wallet, Senate Cardholder and the Secretary Cardholder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Ekster\u00ae<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ekster aims to provide innovative solutions for organized access.

As Indian summer days wane into autumn eves, we are keeping ourselves busy with cooking and baking and test-kitchen tastings.<\/p>\n<p>Cooking in the rhythm of the seasons is a way of every day life in Italy. It&#8217;s a time to use last year\u2019s olive oil too before the new oil arrives \u2014 because in Italy, there is no waste at all.<\/p>\n<p>Join us in the kitchen as we prepare a delectable Tuscan olive oil cake. It can be served for breakfast alongside a creamy cappuccino or caff\u00e8 or also topped with gelato.<\/p>\n<p>Olio Nuovo<br \/>\nOur olio nuovo, new olive oil, is in the process of being put into green glass bottles (never plastic). Our oil is extra virgin, first-cold-pressed (without heat because heat renders more oil, but it also degrades the quality) using Leccino, Curatora, Frantoio &amp; Coratina \u2014 four varieties of olives that grow in Campania.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits have been tenderly cared for all year long by our grower, Signor Salvatore, (without using additives or chemicals) in a small private olive grove with 600 trees that are over 100 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The yield is approximately 14 liters of olive oil for every 100 kg of olives, but it varies each year depending on the harvest.<\/p>\n<p>The olives are hand-picked when ripe sometime between September to October (depending on the season), then pressed immediately. When the olives are not pressed right away they oxidise and this increases the acidity level.<\/p>\n<p>In order to qualify as extra virgin, the oil undergoes a chemical test and a sensory evaluation by a tasting panel of the International Olive Council.<\/p>\n<p>Our extra-virgin olive oil has a very low, 0.20% to 0.25%, acidity (acidity refers to the amount of oleic acid in the oil). In order to qualify as extra virgin, it needs to have 0.50% acidity.<\/p>\n<p>Olive Oils<br \/>\nLemon, Rosemary &amp; Chili Pepper<br \/>\nWe also produce lemon, rosemary and chili pepper infused oil. The process is the same, the only difference is that lemons, rosemary or chili pepper are also crushed on a cold press with the olives. The pits, peels and residue are removed before bottling (to avoid the acidity level from rising because olive oil is acidic and will cook anything that is left it it). Keep your olive oil in a cool dry place, away from sunlight and not on the stove, and never in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Our olive trees grow in rich volcanic soil, under a warm Mediterranean sun, with a salty sea wind &#8211; and that\u2019s why they taste so good!<\/p>\n<p>Recipe Card<br \/>\nOlive Oil Cake<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<br \/>\n2 lemons, unwaxed<br \/>\n\u2153 cup of olive oil (not extra virgin) ~ just regular olive oil.<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon of organic lemon extract<br \/>\n2 cups all-purpose flour<br \/>\n1 1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<br \/>\n1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<br \/>\nPinch of sea salt<br \/>\n4 large eggs<br \/>\n\u00be cup Turbinado sugar<br \/>\nSliced, toasted almonds for garnishing<\/p>\n<p>Method<\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 175\u00b0C (350\u00b0F). Lightly grease a round cake pan of about 9 to 10 inches. Cut off the ends of the lemons then chop into small pieces. Place them in food processor and blend. Add the oil and lemon extract.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy, then add the sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, a little at a time, then gently fold in the lemon and oil mixture. When all of the ingredients are mixed well, pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 55 minutes. (Test with a very thin skewer, and when it comes out dry, the cake should be ready.) Remove from oven, leave to cool, then garnish with powdered sugar and lemon slices or leaves.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Baking<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s that time of year &#x1f33a; spring has sprung\u2026\u2026. hens party, girls weekends, mama getaways, family holidays &#x1f389;\u2026.. we have the perfect , stylish, comfortable, flattering #loungewear and #pyjamas with wire-free breast support, so you can wear them everywhere! &#x1f601; #pjsallday With no sag or bounce and the #comfort and #freedom of being #brafree &#8211; we\u2019ve got you covered &#8211; double layered coverage and support in pure cotton.

So, what better time to think about how we can truly \u2018give\u2019 in a way that makes a positive and powerful impact on our communities and the environment than now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year the Wonderbag was voted as Time Magazine\u2019s Top 50 Genius Companies because of its simple but truly revolutionary product benefits that have made it internationally recognized as a catalyst for change and a viable solution to offset carbon emissions. This proudly South African, award winning slow-cooker continues to cook food, which has been brought to the boil by fire, stoves or any conventional method, for up to 10 hours without the use of any additional fuel source. Put very simply, the Wonderbag saves time, money and the planet while adding nutritional value to families who use it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With loadshedding being an ongoing reality and a pressing issue in our country that is unlikely to go away anytime in the near future \u2013 it\u2019s more important than ever to find and use workable solutions like the Wonderbag to overcome this challenge. 84,7% of South African households are currently connected to the electricity grid. *Studies have shown that families who use a Wonderbag to cook rice could save 35 minutes of electricity time by just bringing this food to the boil on their stove for 5 minutes and placing it into a Wonderbag for the remaining 40 minutes without risk of burning. This equates to a saving of 35 minutes of possible stove time. With the same principle in mind, families could also save approximately 2 \u2013 3 hours of electricity when cooking chicken on a stove just by using a Wonderbag. With the cost of living increasing, and Eskom\u2019s electricity tariffs having increased by over 300% in the last decade, it\u2019s no surprise that more and more of the population are converting back to bio-mass for cooking. Currently 50% of the human population still cook on open fires, with 73% of sub-Saharan Africa\u2019s urban population and 94% of its rural population using open fires to cook their daily meals on. All the wood, charcoal and other bio-mass being used to fuel these open fires are now adding to another major problem we all face \u2013 climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/WB_4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a global scale climate change is throttling our planet. Every tree and every forest are becoming endangered. Not only does the threat of deforestation raise huge concerns for the sustainability of our planet\u2019s precious resources \u2013 but accordingly to Foley\u2019s study (1985), cutting down trees both adds carbon dioxide to the air and removes the ability to absorb existing carbon dioxide. The estimated consumption of firewood per person is between 750 \u2013 900kgs per year. South African greenhouse emissions per capita remain amongst the highest in the developing world. We have a responsibility to our country, our planet and our future generations to reduce carbon emissions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world is looking for solutions, and one of them is right under our noses. Entrepreneur, social activist and innovator Sarah Collins took an age-old cooking technology, that of simple heat retention, and reinvented it into a modern-day, life-changing, sought-after kitchen accessory, found in both the poorest and most affluent of homes around the globe. For such a simple and seemingly \u2018low tech\u2019 cooking appliance \u2013 the impact and benefits when the Wonderbag is used are of far-reaching and gigantic proportions. That\u2019s why the Wonderbag has won so many awards. That\u2019s why Times Magazine recognized Wonderbag along with Apple and Amazon as one of the most Genius Companies in the world in 2018. And that\u2019s why we are urging all South Africans this festive season to buy one and give a gift that keeps on giving. Whether it\u2019s for a family member, someone you work with or for someone who works for you, the impact of your small actions this year of giving them a Wonderbag can be enormous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year\u2019s festive season specials are available online today at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wonderbagworld.com\">www.wonderbagworld.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>WALLACE &amp; GROMIT AND JOULES BOTH CELEBRATE THEIR MILESTONE 30TH YEAR IN 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-615174\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tttf.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"918\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Multi award-winning studio Aardman and the premium British lifestyle brand, Joules have joined forces this festive period to celebrate a huge milestone: 30 Cracking Years of Wallace &amp; Gromit and Joules\u2019 30thbirthday.<\/p>\n<p>To mark the monumental occasion, the two heritage brands have teamed up for a Christmas campaign with an original animation as the centrepiece.
