Ibiza’s Luxury Revolution: How the Island Transformed Itself
Ibiza is a magical island of luxuriousness, culture and spectacular scenery. It has all the ingredients for relaxing holiday, yet the island was sold short by its reputation as a hedonistic playground for clubbers and package tourists for many years. Those who are familiar with the White Island have always known about its pine-covered mountains, secret coves and tranquil villages, but now the rest of the world does too. In recent years, Ibiza has emerged as one of the most celebrated hangouts for jetsetters thanks to various factors. Ibiza’s recent rebranding as a luxury destination has put the charming Balearic Island on the map for luxury travellers. But what exactly are the key factors that have led to the island’s luxury revolution and iterate the necessity of a villa rental holiday in Ibiza in 2017?

5 Of The Planet’s Craziest Bridges
#1 Millau Viaduct
Like a fair chunk of Europe’s similarly beautiful things, you can find this beauty in the south of France. At 343 meters (1125 feet), it is the “tallest” bridge in the world. I say “tallest” as this should not be confused with the world’s “highest” bridge; the Sidu River Bridge in China.
#2 Eshima Ohashi Bridge

EVER WONDERED WHAT THE SMALL CYLINDER IN YOUR LAPTOP CHARGER IS FOR ?
This Guy Built A Self-Feeding Fire, When It Starts Burning. Didn't See That Coming (VIDEO)
There’s nothing better than chilling out next to the warm glow of a campfire. While it’s not really that difficult to make a fire… it can be tedious maintaining a constant burn over the course of a few hours. Which brings us to this awesome little outdoor hack.
This is how you build a gigantic, self-feeding fire.
The U-shape frame, as seen here, must be precise, as it is meant to drop the logs as they burn, and having it too steep or flat will ruin this effect.
What Makes This Truck Worth Over $1,000,000?
When was the last time you hear about a truck selling for one million? Let me answer that… never! Just looking at this monster of a truck, no pun intended, the hairs on my neck stand straight up. This thing has a huge set of 66x44x15 in tires with enormous 26 inch shocks.

The 10 Most Powerful Things You Can Say to Your Kids
Effective conversation helps parents create lasting, meaningful relationships with their kids.
The Pew Research Center recently showed parents across America a list of 10 skills, asking the question: “Which of these skills is most important for a child to get ahead in the world today?” The winner, by far, was communication. In fact, not only was it chosen as the most important; it beat out traditional favorites, such as reading, writing, teamwork and logic.
You can start by using my list of the 10 most powerful things you can say to your kids:
1. I like you.
I like you is saying that you like who they are as a person. It is still important to use I love you, as well.
2. You’re a fast learner.
Children love to learn and they are great at it. They see learning as something that is fun when it is conveyed in the right way. Encouraging them and reinforcing their ability to learn influences how they relate to learning later in life, when it can be more difficult or frustrating.
3. Thank you.
Simple courtesies are a sign of respect. Social skills are critical in life and the best training for tact and grace starts at home.
4. I’m sorry.
While it is ideal to learn to catch yourself before saying something that might later require an apology, a simple “I am sorry” can go a long way to repairing a strained situation.
5. What do you think?
Ask for input and give kids a chance to be part of family conversations to allow them the opportunity to learn, to exercise their decision-making skills and to begin to take responsibility for their choices. The ability to express what you think and ask for what you want are fundamental skills that will serve your children well throughout their lives.
6. We all make mistakes.
Problems happen and no one is perfect. Dealing with problems and learning from mistakes are vital life skills. When you have a moment in which you do not live up to your own standards, it is an opportunity to demonstrate by example to your children how to take responsibility for mistakes and move on. Kids can beat themselves up over not meeting your expectations or not being perfect. Give each other a little room for mistakes to ease the pressure of perfection on your relationships.
7. Let’s read.
Reading to your kids is an endless and simple gift. It helps them build skills they need for success in life. It enriches your relationship and creates a positive association and love of learning. And, books provide an imaginary escape to the world of people, places and ideas.
8. How about we agree to…
Establish a few basic agreements that set the stage for how you will work together within the family. Agreements help to avoid common issues and provide a framework within which to solve problems when they do arise.
9. Tell me more.
This request to your children invites them to share more of their thoughts, feelings and ideas with you. It also involves learning to listen, which shows them that you care.
10. Yes.
Try to use positive reinforcement more so than negative reinforcement. While I do think “no” is still a viable option at times, too often parents are “a ‘no’ waiting to happen.” If you create a pattern of “yes” in your family, you’ll find that “no” doesn’t need to be said as often as you think.
