Umbrellas are fickle things. They're can be indispensable in foul weather, but cheap ones have the tendency to break at the worst times.

You Could Buy Your Own Private Island in Maine

We've all dreamed of purchasing our own private island before. Usually, it's something a little bit warmer, perhaps in the tropics with white sands and clear blue water.

Pirelli Tecnorib 1900: This Isn’t the Inflatable Boat Your Spent Summers In

Picture you and Billy Bib paddling across the lake as 10-year-olds. The boat wasn't the Pirelli Tecnorib 1900. Pirelli is probably one of the largest car tire manufacturers in the world. Sometimes the engineers act on thinking outside the box and create big, different products. Since rubber is Pirelli's raw material, it just made sense that they team up with Tecnorib, a rubber boat maker. The result, the Pirelliu Tecnorib 1900 is to be released at the 2017 Cannes Yachting Festival. This is not the first collaboration between Pirelliu and Tecnorib. They have created three boats over the past ten years; however, the sporty 1900 far exceeds any other creation to day.
