Protection against e-pickpockets

The brand's innovative prowess dates back to 1983, when its trademark FXT ballistic nylon bags (developed from the nylon material in the flak jackets used by the American army) were first introduced to endure the rigours of travel, rapidly catapulting the company to becoming one of the leading brands of choice in premium business and travel accessories for discerning frequent travellers, including United States President Barack Obama.

Thirty years on, the inner workings of the black-on-black ballistic nylon have inspired a new boxed pattern design, which is the feature of the brand's latest Ticon collection, launched this spring.

A linear pattern is created out of its double-lined "T" logo to produce a square-like grid with a basket weave formation, mirroring the visual effect of two nylon yarns interlacing inside the ballistic material. The result is an easily identifiable Ticon logo-constructed weave, which decorates an extensive range of the best-selling styles from Tumi's travel, business and lifestyle range.

Embossed on leather, it shakes up the international leather zipper carry-on and soft leather travel satchel with a coat of textured detail across its full-leather body, while the classic magazine tote is reinterpreted with a combination of weave-patterned tan leather and signature ballistic nylon in a choice of raspberry, marigold, bone or black.

Backpacks, sling and slim-flap briefcases, messenger bags and a selection of small leather goods make up the rest of the Ticon collection in classic black ballistic nylon, as well as brown and tan leather.

Staying true to the brand's longstanding reputation for function and performance-enhanced designs, a new protective feature, ID Lock, has been developed by Tumi to protect customers from Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) theft of personal data,We have a wide selection of handsfreeaccess to choose from for your storage needs. which is encoded on most identification cards, credit cards and passports. An RFID tag is composed of a miniscule data-storing microchip and wireless antennae, which can be easily accessed via any RFID reader within close distance.

RFID-enabled ATM cards can also reveal bank account details.

The ID Lock is a feature on select bags and small accessories, such as wallets and card cases.

UFC president Dana White says it would be the biggest upset in company history – bigger than Matt Serra over Georges St-Pierre.Elpas Readers detect and forward 'Location' and 'State' data from Elpas Active RFID Tags to host besticcard platforms. I disagree. Jones might be a 10-to-1 favorite or more in some sports books. Sonnen might not have fought at 205 pounds in the UFC. But there are reasons to believe he’ll be able to dethrone Jones, the best young fighter in the world, in New Jersey.

It’s easy to think Sonnen is the guy who runs his mouth and earns big fights. You think he’d be in this position right now, though, if he had not beaten Anderson Silva up for almost five full rounds in 2010? Sonnen talked all the crap in the world and went into UFC 117 and did everything he said he would – until Silva stunned him with a triangle choke with just 1:50 left in the fight.

Before that, no one ever touched Silva. The UFC middleweight champion – and the greatest MMA fighter of all time – dominated just about everyone who stepped into the Octagon with him. Granted, Sonnen did test positive for increased testosterone levels after that fight, but he also dominated the first round against Silva clean last summer before being knocked out in the second.

Yeah, Sonnen is a caricature of himself with a microphone in his hands. But let’s not forget he’s beaten guys like Michael Bisping and Yushin Okami, two of the top middleweights in the world.

Jones is not either one of those guys. He’s much better. But is he far superior to Silva? I’m not so sure. He does present a different skill set. But counting out Sonnen isn’t the smart thing to do. He’s shocked us all before.

Their combined experience shines through at this slick gem, occupying what was once the Centurion Tower at Caesars Palace - the building was completely gutted to make way for the Nobu rooms, creating a luxury hotel enclave within the larger resort. Although not boutique by traditional standards, the hotel's 181 rooms make it positively petite in Vegas - the rest of the Caesars complex is home to some 4000 accommodations over five additional towers plus dozens of restaurants and bars, multiple casinos, a performing arts centre and a vast alfresco pool area.

Unfortunately there isn't a private entrance to the Nobu Hotel, as is the case at a number of other exclusive Vegas properties. It does see me crossing a casino gaming floor but considering that some guests face treks of more than five minutes to reach their beds, this seems like a sure bet. From the intimate lobby I'm whisked up in high-tech lifts, sans buttons, where I scan my room card before entering and allow "smart technology" to read floor and room details.

I've barely had time to admire the David Rockwell-designed room - dragon mural above the bed, lantern-inspired lamps, textured carpeting to resemble rake lines in a Zen garden, and traditional Japanese woodblock prints - when a welcome tray of green tea plus rice cakes from Matsuhisa's home town arrive.

My deluxe king room is large with a window-side L-shape velvet sofa and coffee table and plenty of space. The bathroom is almost as big, with a huge black-tiled rain shower stocked with customised Natura Bisse amenities infused with rosemary and white tea, and a teak stool should all the late nights catch up with me.

While private hotel facilities are limited, Nobu guests are granted access to all of the offerings at Caesars. And there's a lot, from the pool to the restaurants to the spa, which offers a handful of signature treatments exclusively to Nobu guests. The Nagomi Ritual, for example, is a 90-minute therapy that incorporates a foot treatment with crystallised honey particles, a shiatsu massage using four aroma "nectars",Explore online some of the many available selections in lasercutter. and a facial featuring carbon dioxide to increase skin hydration and revitalisation.

Between the shows and the casinos, dinner ends up being a late affair in Vegas. With my 10.30pm restaurant reservation still four hours away I make the most of the hotel's room service, which features an all-Nobu menu.

The latter offers neat compartments filled with lobster lightly brushed with wasabi, perfectly seared wagyu, spicy garlic shrimp, nigiri and hand-rolls. In-room cocktails and desserts also have a Nobu twist: for a sweet ending I order the Suntory whiskey cappuccino,The 3rd International Conference on custombobbleheads and Indoor Navigation. tofu cheesecake and green tea brulee.

The minibar has a good selection of sakes and Japanese beers on offer. The room-service menu lists a couple more, including the Nobu Special Reserve 28, a full-bodied spirit that - I'm told - is best served over ice with a hint of yuzu juice. It's delicious, but not cheap at $US160 for a 750-millilitre bottle.

The Nobu Restaurant off the hotel's lobby is the only one of its kind in the world to offer a morning meal, with a Japanese twist: yuzu soba pancakes come topped with blueberry-and-yuzu compote plus pecan-miso butter, and the eggs Matsuhisa feature roasted asparagus, bonito egg sauce, ikura and toasted bao.
