While these steel boxes have proven to be extremely versatile, they're also very expensive to move and require some heavy lifting. Excalibur Shelters is making this a bit cheaper and simpler with SL-Tainer, a self-lifting container that does away with the need for a crane to get it on and off the back of a truck.</p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/sl-tainer-self-lifting-shipping-container/38007/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="38130"> <div class="article-top" data-article="38130"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/"> — Good Thinking </a> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/google-news-lab-launch-google-trends/38130/">How the new Google Trends and News Lab could accelerate the 24-hour news cycle</a></h1> <div class="clearfix"> <span class="pull-left"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/author/eric-mack/" rel="author">Eric Mack</a> - June 22, 2015 </span> <a class="picture-count" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/google-news-lab-launch-google-trends/38130/pictures"> 4 Pictures </a> </div> </div> <div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/google-news-lab-launch-google-trends/38130/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/newslab.jpg" title=""> </a> </div> <div class="summary"> <p>Gizmag has been writing news for the web for over a decade now, and during that time, Google has continued to influence what we write and read about on the web.

The wood to make that furniture has to be harvested from a felled tree which is then milled, sawed, planed, sanded, put back together with glue and screws, and finished. Wouldn't it be easier to avoid most of these steps and simply coax a tree to grow into a piece of furniture? That way, it would be one-piece, inherently strong, and could potentially last many years longer than assembled furniture. Gavin Munro thought this too, and about a decade ago set about achieving this goal. He now creates furniture by cajoling trees to grow into one-piece items that are not only inherently practical, they are also eminently beautiful. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/full-grown-tree-furniture-munro/37709/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </div> </article> <article class="article-summary article-summary--None" data-article="37818"> <div class="article-top" data-article="37818"> <a class="label" href="/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/"> — Good Thinking </a> <h1><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/personal-hearing-fraunhofer-deaf/37818/">Apps help deaf cinema-goers hear movies</a></h1> <div class="clearfix"> <span class="pull-left"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/" rel="author">Ben Coxworth</a> - June 1, 2015 </span> <a class="picture-count" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/personal-hearing-fraunhofer-deaf/37818/pictures"> 1 Picture </a> </div> </div> <div class="inline-item"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421/http://www.gizmag.com/personal-hearing-fraunhofer-deaf/37818/"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20150627080421im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/personal-hearing.jpg" title=""> </a> </div> <div class="summary"> <p>For people with limited hearing, understanding movies or plays can be challenging – particularly if they don't own a hearing aid.
