Do you have posters hung on your wall with thumbtacks or tape? You might want to check out Simply Framed. They’re a new, online custom framing service that makes it easy to get your posters, art prints, and photos looking sharp on your wall. All you have to do is go to simplyframed.com, enter your art’s dimensions, and select your frame style. They will then send you packaging or a return label so you can ship them your art, et voila! They custom frame it and deliver it straight to your door ready to hang.

An avid art collector, Dara Deshe Segal founded Simply Framed because she was frustrated about the lack of easy, affordable custom framing services available. What makes it better than going to your local frame shop, you may wonder? “We’re an online, mail-in service, which means that instead of driving across town to the frame shop, you can place your custom framing order from home,” Segal says. Their prices are an added bonus, roughly half the cost of traditional frame shops.

If you’re worried about shipping your art, don’t fear. “We take great care in how we handle your art,” Segal says, “from the packaging we provide to the white glove policy we use when handling your art in our frame shop.” They also send you a photo of your art when they receive it, so you can rest assured it’s in good hands.

Take a good look at your walls. Are they too college? If so, pay a visit to Simply Framed for an easy upgrade to polished and professional.

The third season of Industry is almost here. The HBO drama, which has quietly earned buzz and acclaim over the course of its first two seasons, is adding some big names for its third outing that could bring the show to an even wider audience. In the first trailer for the show's third season, we get a look at some of the faces joining the cast, including Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington.

The trailer hints at a potential romance boiling between Harrington's character, Sir Henry Muck, and Yasmin (Marisa Abela). As you might expect, the trailer also hints at plenty of chaos coming for the financial traders working at Pierpoint.

Wondering how to put out a cigar? Here’s everything you need to know

How do you put out a cigar if you're finished smoking but it's still burning?

Cigars vary in length due to several factors, like the blend, how it's rolled, and the size of the cigar — generally, the bigger or longer it is, the longer the burn times. If you're used to smoking, say a Robusto size, and you opt for a Corona Gorda (Toro), Double Corona, or anything larger, then yeah, it's going to take a while longer to smoke. If you puff or draw from the cigar a lot, which, admittedly, you shouldn't do, then it will burn faster, too. Take your time; you'll get more flavor with a longer burn, and you won't destroy your mouth or palate. But all of this is to say that you may be caught off-guard while smoking and need to put it out because it's a long experience. The prevailing question is, what's the best way to do that? How do you put out a cigar if you're out in public, for example?
