Couchlet lets you charge devices from your furniture

Almost everyone has a device that needs to be charged. Whether it's a phone, tablet, or otherwise, the need for USB power is always looming. A new device called the Couchlet aims to take put USB power in the places where people spend a lot of time – their furniture.

The design of the Couchlet looks simple and effective. There's a 6-foot (60.1-cm) USB cable that runs to an existing power brick. That provides quite a bit of extra length, which should save users from having to stretch to weird positions in order to use their smart device while it's charging.

That cable is connected to the Couchlet itself, which features two USB ports for plugging in each device's charging cables. There's an arm that allows the device to be wedged under a cushion, which should keep it firmly in place even while moving around on the sofa or bed.

For situations where the arm isn't needed, users can fold it up and just wedge the Couchlet into a tight space. This promises a good amount of flexibility, which means users will be able to make the device work with his or her current situation

     If you're looking to smarten up your locks to make your home more secure, then you're not exactly short of options. While all these products are aimed at offering better-connected home security, is fumbling through your phone for an app much more convenient that fumbling through your pocket for your keys? The makers of Sesame say smart locks could be a little more intuitive, and have developed a solution that, among other things, recognizes secret knocks to open up your door.
      

 This lock is very easy to install.  when you receive the lock, just place it on top of your lock and in seconds you can unlock your phone using your smart phone by using the app.  Also once the lock is installed, you can program a special knock.  if your phone is nearby, all you have to do is knock on the door and it will open. You will also receive an optional wifi access plug.  This plug is connected to the lock by using bluetooth, so your lock is always connected to your home network.  plus it saves battery life.  You can choose who has access to unlocking using sesame, and receive notifications when someone tries or uses the smart lock.

"Football" (soccer) teams up with table tennis in teqball

Designed by a UK-based start-up company with the international roots, Teqball is part football training tool, part competitive table game.  It is also part hybrid sport.  The game relies on a regulation football and a special table that the company calls the teqboard.  The table looks like a basic table tennis table, that was put through a bending machine.  However, the company explains that it was carefully designed.  It was tested for over two years.  The table is split in two by a plexiglass "net." that provides the ball to bounce off.  It can be played with two or four people.

Bluetooth Head Phones

Parrot champions created the noise canceling capability and they do a good job of shutting out noise as you could hope from a set of headphones.  They are called the Zik 2.0.  These headphones rely on six built in microphones that work with algorithm generating sound waves to directly counter the noise coming in from the outside.  The level of noise cancelation can be adjusted threw the companion of the Zik 2.0 app.

Dj's Deli

Dj's Deli is located on hackensack street in Wood-Ridge.  
Dj's has a large variety of food they serve.  They are a deli so that serve cold and hot sandwiches.  They sell all different types of wraps and salads,  Everything they sell there is delicious,  In the front of their store they have a section where they serve hot food.

My favorite thing from Dj's is their french fries and their wraps.  They are so good and i have never had a complaint. They also have very quick service.  You can even order online.  Anyone who wants to learn how to make a wrap watch this 

The Restaurant use to be called Jhan's deli for the longest time.  The owners sold it to guy and he changes it to Two Brothers.  Two brothers did not do good business.  After they went out of business the people who own DJ's came and bought the space.  They are a very nice greek family!

this class would be a very hands on class.  everyone in this class would be doing work, creating pages to remember.  These books are to remember things that had happened that year in high school. At the end of the year, the students would have the book as proof to show they did do things over that year of school
