Tour The Sennheiser HD 555 headphones are over-ear headphones meant for use with a home audio system. The headphones themselves are a mix of black plastic and cloth, with a bit of silver on the exterior of the ear cups. The cups have a large, black, oval grating over their exterior and removable cloth pads on their interior. Removing a pad lets you peek at the sound element through a thin piece of cloth and a plastic ribcage. The cups tilt forward and back in a 30-degree arc, and can rotate a few degrees perpendicular to the band. The band itself is predominantly black plastic and extendible. The cord extends from the left ear cup, and is quite long. In The Box The Sennheiser HD 555 headphones come with a single extra in the box: a 3.5mm adapter.
Durability The HD 555 headphones seem to be fairly durable, but do have some issues. The tilt and rotation of the cups also feels a bit flimsy. The cord is arguably the most durable aspect of these headphones. Aesthetics. Contact500_Micael_Reynaud.gif (GIF Image, 500 × 375 pixels) What's Good at Trader Joe's? Pythagorean cup. Cross section Cross section of a Pythagorean cup. A Pythagorean cup (also known as a Pythagoras cup, a Greedy Cup or a Tantalus cup) is a form of drinking cup that forces its user to imbibe only in moderation. Credited to Pythagoras of Samos, it allows the user to fill the cup with wine up to a certain level.
If he fills the cup only to that level, the imbiber may enjoy a drink in peace. If he exhibits gluttony, however, the cup spills its entire contents out of the bottom (onto the lap of the immodest drinker).[1] Form and function[edit] A Pythagorean cup looks like a normal drinking cup, except that the bowl has a central column in it – giving it a shape like a Bundt pan in the center of the cup. When the cup is filled, liquid rises through the second pipe up to the chamber at the top of the central column, following Pascal's principle of communicating vessels.

This month, we feature videos of a Greater Good presentation by Rick Hanson, the best-selling author and trailblazing psychologist. In this excerpt from his talk, Dr. Hanson explains how we can take advantage of the brain’s natural “plasticity”—it’s ability to change shape over time. gobyg There’s this great line by Ani Tenzin Palmo, an English woman who spent 12 years in a cave in Tibet: “We do not know what a thought is, yet we’re thinking them all the time.”
It’s true. In recent years, though, we have started to better understand the neural bases of states like happiness, gratitude, resilience, love, compassion, and so forth. Ultimately, what this can mean is that with proper practice, we can increasingly trick our neural machinery to cultivate positive states of mind. But in order to understand how, you need to understand three important facts about the brain. Fact one: As the brain changes, the mind changes, for better or worse. Fact two: As the mind changes, the brain changes. 1. 2. 3. Smart tips to make life easier.
