Anthropology | 21A.219 Law and Society, Spring 2003 7 Body Language Tricks To Make Anyone Instantly Like You There’s no question that body language is important. And, according to Leil Lowndes in her book “How To Talk To Anyone,” you can capture — and hold — anyone’s attention without even saying a word. We’ve selected the best body language techniques from the book and shared them below: The Flooding Smile “Don’t flash an immediate smile when you greet someone,” says Lowndes. Instead, pause and look at the other person’s face for a second, and then let a “big, warm, responsive smile flood over your face and overflow into your eyes.” Even though the delay is less than a second, it will convince people your smile is sincere and personalised for them. Sticky Eyes “Pretend your eyes are glued to your conversation partner’s with sticky warm taffy,” Lowndes advises. You can also try counting your conversation partner’s blinks. Epoxy Eyes In a group of people, you should watch the person you are interested in, no matter who else is talking. The Big-Baby Pivot Limit the Fidget Hang By Your Teeth
Let It Ripple | Mobile Films for Global Change Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences | 12.409 Hands-On Astronomy: Observing Stars and Planets, Spring 2002 Study Finds Exercise Literally Makes Your Brain Grow Scientists know that exercise can foster the growth of new brain cells, but the factors responsible for this phenomenon have not been well understood. In a recent study, researchers have discovered the chemical process that makes this happen. What’s more is that they may be able to “bottle” the chemical that produces this benefit, so a brain-growth pill may be coming to your drug store in the future. Exercise and the Brain A part of the brain particularly receptive to new nerve cell growth in response to endurance exercise is the hippocampus, which is a structure associated with learning and memory. Scientists knew that when endurance exercise works up a sweat, the body produces and releases into the blood stream a protein known as FNDC5. How does this process affect you? These benefits are available to anyone who exercises — but what about those who are unable to have a workout? Exercise in a Bottle The protein that exercise stimulates, FNDC5, was injected into the bloodstream of mice.
Khan Academy 7 Lessons From 7 Great Minds Have you ever wished you could go back in time and have a conversation with one of the greatest minds in history? Well, you can’t sorry, they’re dead. Unless of course you’re clairaudient, be my guest. But for the rest of us, we can still refer to the words they left behind.

Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed | Arise India Forum - Dispel illusion and hatred..establish truth!! Author: Bronnie Ware For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. 1. It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. 2. By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. 3. We cannot control the reactions of others. 4. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. 5. Life is a choice.

Let us start by defining three descriptions of lift commonly used in textbooks and training manuals. The second description we will call the Popular Explanation which is based on the Bernoulli principle. The third description, which we are advocating here, we will call the Physical Description of lift. The popular explanation of lift Newton’s laws and lift Air has viscosity
Hacker Typer TextFugu 42 In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the number 42 is the “Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”. But he didn’t say what the question was! Since today is Towel Day, let me reveal that now. If you try to get several regular polygons to meet snugly at a point in the plane, what’s the most sides any of the polygons can have? The picture shows an equilateral triangle, a regular heptagon and a regular 42-gon meeting snugly at a point. There are actually 10 solutions of with and each of them gives a way for three regular polygons to snugly meet at a point. But why is this so important? that make as close to 1 as possible, while still less than 1, the very best you can do is It comes within of equalling 1, since And why is this important? that has the maximum number of symmetries. and and you need for these triangles to fit on the hyperbolic plane. For example, if you take you get this tiling: symmetries. as small as possible! symmetries. It has Puzzles
