100 Things Personality Test - VisualDNA. VisualDNA brings a new layer of information to the world of technology that will help bring it closer to the people who use it – making it more enjoyable and relevant. Technology provides businesses with a surfeit of DATA – what and when. However it provides very little in the way of UNDERSTANDING – who did things, and why they did them. We see this effect in all areas of business from marketing to financial services. Despite all the targeting and site metrics, digital marketing isn’t getting any more effective. And despite all the data gathering there’s a limit to what credit histories can tell financial services about customers and potential customers. We have a different approach. In the financial sector this approach has led to a five-fold increase in ROI, in media we have seen 35% improvement in click rates.

I've always wanted a treehouse when I was a child but living in a city made it a little difficult. Instead, we would built forts, tents or just crawl under the bed to play. It's weird right now but back then we really loved having those hideouts where nobody could find us.

We could stay there for as long as we wanted. Telling horror stories and feeling like these were the safest places to be. But what happens if you're an adult and still dream of a treehouse? Living among nature has always been such a wonderful thing to me. I don't feel like a city girl at all. I did a little web research for treehouses all over the world and oh my what I found. Safe Arbor in Switzerland. Trillium. The enchanted forest. A modern, pitched roof treehouse. A treehouse morning. A dream treehouse. Those are just a few of many treehouses.

Top 10 Essential DIY Skills That Aren't as Hard as You Think. I think it depends on your definition of "maintenance. " I wouldn't hesitate to change my own oil or something like that but I wouldn't dream of replacing a radiator myself.

That isn't my idea of "maintenance. " That's fixing something. Sorry you are afraid of doing that stuff, but even a complete engine rebuild is easy to do, and no you don't need "special tools" unless you call things beyond a hammer and screwdriver "special" I can do a front end alignment on a car in my driveway with a tape measure and a couple of carpenters squares along with the wrenches most people would have. Also if you do buy the cheap but special tools you can replace your own tires and balance them better than the "laser computerized" balance machine at the tire place. In fact the only expensive special tools I need are a Crane and engine run stand. Danger? This is why I don't take my cars to the dealer for any routine maintenance. Aside from that, dealers are inconvenient.

The Honeybee’s Final Sting. Jun 16, 2012 If you’ve ever wondered why honeybees tend to die after stinging someone this picture says it all. In an incredible capture by Kathy Keatley Garvey, a UC Davis Communications Specialist in the Department of Enomology, we see a bee stinging a person’s arm and then attempting to fly away as the stinger remains lodged in the victim. That trail of goo you see? It’s actually the bee’s abdominal tissue. The remarkable capture netted Garvey the first-place gold feature photo award in an Association for Communication Excellence competition.

On the fortunate timing, Garvey said she was walking with a friend and a bee came close to him and started buzzing in a high-pitch. A Seahorse Inspects a Diver’s Watch. Jun 27, 2012 In this remarkable capture, a seahorse checks out a diver’s watch (and own reflection) underwater. Given the clarity of the clouds in the reflection, this was likely taken quite close to the surface. A reverse image search on Tineye and Google did not identify a valid source for this photograph, if you know more please let us know (update: Many thanks to Hoss Cartwright for the help)!

Since there’s not much additional information here are some facts about seahorses: - Seahorse is the title given to forty-seven species of marine fish in the genus Hippocampus - They are mainly found in shallow tropical and temperate waters throughout the world, and prefer to live in sheltered areas such as seagrass beds, estuaries, coral reefs, or mangroves - Seahorses range in size from 0.6 to 14 inches (1.5 – 35.56 cm).

[Source: Wikipedia] Geeky computer part art. Posted in Tech blog on April 18th, 2008 by Pingdom We here at Pingdom clearly belong to the “geek category” of people here on Earth. We love computers and technology, and almost anything related to that. Even when the computers have been broken down and recycled, they can provide gratification, as shown by the pictures you see below. This is a collection of art (and cool things that may or may not be art, but who are we to judge?) Made with computer parts. Some people use guard dogs, others use… Apparently this behemoth is made almost entirely from spare computer parts.

Kodachrome Curtains: DIY Shades from Color-Photo Slides. Kodachrome may be out of stock, but for some it will never go out of style. This set dating back decades was appropriated, drilled and stitched back together to form a flexible but light-filtering window shade for an entry doorway YarnZombie (Jacki Vance-Kuss) shot the images of the final product; Travis punched a pair of holes in each corner of each slide, then looped chainmail rings to connect each slide to the next in rows and columns.

So far, so good – no fading reported as of month five and counting. No doubt, though, the images will blur in time, and the paper sides of the slides will yellow in turn. Nothing lasts forever. For someone with a little ingenuity, and perhaps more time and craft skill than money, this would make a great garage-sale-based do-it-yourself home project that could definitely keep you busy for hours on end.

Discovery Health "Alternative Medicines for Anxiety" Anxiety is the body and mind's response to a dangerous or distressing situation. Everyone experiences some degree of anxiety at some time. However, anxiety can occur persistently, often triggered by vague notions of a threat, and interfere with normal activities. When this happens, it's called an anxiety disorder. Meditation for Anxiety Meditation can help people with anxiety by making them calmer and less vulnerable to stress and tension.

People performing meditation exercises take an active role in their treatment, teaching themselves how to quiet or clear the mind. Various clinical studies have shown that during meditation the body is altered in ways that are beneficial for people with anxiety: For example, the rate of metabolism drops and blood pressure decreases. Studies have also revealed anxiety-reducing results with transcendental meditation (TM), a type of meditation used in Ayurvedic medicine. Here's a sample meditation that can be practiced every morning: Homeopathy for Anxiety. From Sketch to Vector. BREEF -- Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation.

Reef Balls Animals in the sea often compete for space. Corals and other animals that attach to hard surfaces need to find an open space to grow. Fish also need places to hide from predators. Artificial reefs create habitat for fish, coral, algae, and sponges. Reef Ball Development Company invented Reef Balls, and designed a system for making these hollowed-out igloos of concrete that resist storm waves, have a surface that allows corals to settle and grow, and have caverns that allow fish spaces to hide. Since then Island School students have reported seeing wrasses, grunts, groupers, doctor fish, snappers, butterfly fish, and many other species of fish on the reef balls.

Students are placing reef balls in groups around the coast of The Island School, in an effort to prevent erosion of the soil around the coast. The teachers in the BREEF 4 workshop built their own Reef Ball on San Salvador. <Back. Topic: Microbiology | CosmoLearning Biology. When Insults Had Class | Maryannaville™ Dear Human... Some of My Favorite One Liners. Photo. Researchers find link between creative genius and mental illness: 06/12/02. By CAMILLE MOJICA REY For decades, scientists have known that eminently creative individuals have a much higher rate of manic depression, or bipolar disorder, than does the general population.

But few controlled studies have been done to build the link between mental illness and creativity. Now, Stanford researchers Connie Strong and Terence Ketter, MD, have taken the first steps toward exploring the relationship. Using personality and temperament tests, they found healthy artists to be more similar in personality to individuals with manic depression than to healthy people in the general population. "My hunch is that emotional range, having an emotional broadband, is the bipolar patient's advantage," said Strong. "It isn't the only thing going on, but something gives people with manic depression an edge, and I think it's emotional range. " The existing data need further review, Strong said.
