Adidas Harden Volume 10: A Quiet Flex of Design Polish and Underfoot Comfort

Image
The Harden line has always sat at an interesting intersection of performance basketball and street-ready style, and the Harden Volume 10 continues that conversation with a confident — not flashy — update. If you follow the series, you’ll notice the Vol. 10 largely keeps the silhouette language fans expect: a snug internal bootie, sculpted midsole, and a low-to-mid profile that reads equally at the gym and on the sidewalk. But it’s the small refinements — the way the upper textures ripple, the subtle reshaping of the outsole pads, and the heel/forefoot balance — that signal adidas is dialing in a shoe that cares about both comfort and aesthetics. Comfort: springy, contained, and friendly from the first step From what adidas and early reports say, the Volume 10 leans on the same philosophy the line has favored lately: a cushioning stack that balances energy return with on-court feel. Early spec sheets and brand pages point to a hybrid approach that keeps Boost visible in the midsole for ...

Why the Monstera Burle Marx ‘Flame’ Is the Hottest Collector Plant Today

Image
The Monstera Burle Marx ‘Flame’ is one of those houseplants that makes people stop and stare. At first glance its leaves don’t look like the broad, perforated Monstera deliciosa most of us know — instead they’re narrower, deeply undulating and often develop dramatic slits as they mature, giving the impression of flickering tongues of green. That sculptural silhouette, plus a backstory tied to one of Brazil’s most celebrated landscape artists, has turned the Burle Marx Flame into both a botanical curiosity and a collector’s prize.  What is it, exactly? The plant most sellers call “Monstera Burle Marx Flame” is a named cultivar that entered cultivation from Roberto Burle Marx’s garden in Brazil and was later introduced to growers and collectors. Juvenile leaves are often lance-shaped; as the plant climbs and matures, leaves broaden and fenestrate in ways that feel more architectural than tropical-houseplant-cliché. That striking form — somewhere between a Philodendron’s elegance and ...

The Allure of the Philodendron Pink Princess: A Living Jewel for Homes and Hearts

Image
Among today’s most sought-after houseplants, few command attention quite like the Philodendron Pink Princess. Instantly recognizable by its dramatic, dark green to nearly black leaves splashed with unpredictable blush-pink variegation, this tropical beauty feels less like a typical houseplant and more like living artwork. Each leaf is uniquely patterned—some lightly dusted with rosy streaks, others boldly marbled or even half pink—making every plant a one-of-a-kind spectacle. But beyond its visual charm lies a rewarding care journey and surprising benefits for both people and pets when managed responsibly. Native to the tropical forests of South America, the Pink Princess thrives in warm, humid environments where it climbs toward filtered sunlight beneath dense canopies. When grown indoors, recreating these conditions helps the plant flourish and retain its coveted coloration. Care Procedures: Helping Your Pink Princess Thrive Light is the most important element in caring for the Pink ...

Japan Shaken: The Human Cost of the Latest Earthquake

Image
A devastating shake: what happened Late on the night of December 8, 2025, a powerful earthquake — registered at magnitude 7.5 to 7.6 — struck off the northeastern coast of Japan, near Aomori Prefecture in the region of Sanriku. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the epicenter was roughly 80 kilometers off the coast, at a depth of about 50 km.  The quake registered a seismic intensity of "upper 6" on Japan’s shindo (seismic intensity) scale in cities like Hachinohe, indicating very violent shaking — strong enough that standing or moving without crawling would have been nearly impossible. The tremor lasted about 30 seconds, a long time when tremors of such strength are felt.  Tsunami warnings and coastal impact Immediately after the quake, authorities issued tsunami warnings. The initial projection was grim: waves up to three metres (10 feet) high could hit the northeastern coast. As a precaution, about 90,000 residents were ordered to evacuate from vulnerable ...

Why the New Honda Click 125 Is the Ultimate Urban Ride

Image
I slid onto the saddle of the new Honda Click 125 like I was taking a familiar friend out for coffee — confident it’d be easy, smooth, and quietly impressive. After a week of city runs, quick highway hops, and a few errands piled into the under-seat storage, here’s my hands-on take: the Click 125 is a perfectly tuned urban scooter — light, efficient, and sensible — with just enough pep to make daily riding fun, not frantic. First impressions — style, ergonomics, and feel Right away the Click’s styling catches your eye without shouting. The sharp LED headlight, crisp body lines, and a modern digital instrument cluster give it a contemporary look that reads sportier than its 125-cc size might imply. The seat height felt comfortable for my 5'8" frame, and the light curb weight makes maneuvering through traffic effortless — the scooter moves when you want it to, and stays steady when you don’t. Honda’s design tweaks (including a USB charging port on recent models) make it obvious ...
