6 Cool Kinetic Technologies - Room with a Veu
Forget the cloud, these devices work on air. To many, the way some technologies work might seem like magic. But there are shades of enchantment, from the Bluetooth earpiece that seems no more amazing than a hackneyed magician at a kids' party to the technology that's more in the league of David Blaine.

What holds people in its thrall is that they can learn to master the art and perform the trick themselves.
40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist
If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark.

INTJ Profile
Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judgingby Marina Margaret Heiss Profile: INTJ Revision: 3.1 Date of Revision: 17 Oct 2009 To outsiders, INTJs may appear to project an aura of "definiteness", of self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age.
Yoga Vedanta Centres
Proper Exercise Our physical body is meant to move and exercise. If our lifestyle does not provide natural motion of muscles and joints, then disease and great discomfort will ensue with time.

There are numerous modern physical culture systems designed to develop the muscles through mechanical movements and exercises. As Yoga regards the body as a vehicle for the soul on its journey towards perfection, Yogic physical exercises are designed to develop not only the body.
