Study Determines This Is the Most Relaxing Song Ever Looking for something to help you relax before bed that doesn't involve popping a pill? You might want to load up your iPod with a song by Manchester band Marconi Union. Sound therapists were able to rate ten of the most relaxing songs, with Marconi Union's 8 minute trance-inducing tune, "Weightless", coming out on top thanks to its continuous rhythm of 60 BPM, an ideal tempo for synchronization with the heart and brainwaves, making it an ideal audio accompaniment for a good night's rest. Listen to it after the jump… Lyz Cooper, founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy notes: "While listening, your heart rate gradually comes to match that beat.

How 3-D Printing Body Parts Will Revolutionize Medicine A device the size of an espresso machine quietly whirs to life. The contraption isn't filled with fresh, pungent grounds but, instead, spoonfuls of opaque, sterile goo. Its robotic arm moves briskly: It hovers, lowers, and then repositions a pair of syringes over six petri dishes. In short, rapid-fire bursts, they extrude the milky paste. Soon, three little hexagons form in each dish. After a few minutes, the hexagons grow to honeycomb structures the size of fingernails. The honeycombs are human livers, says Sharon Presnell, chief technology officer of Organovo—or at least the foundations of them. In two decades, 3-D printing has grown from a niche manufacturing process to a $2.7-billion industry, responsible for the fabrication of all sorts of things: toys, wristwatches, airplane parts, food. "It's been a tough slog in some ways, but we're at a tipping point," says Dean Kamen, founder of DEKA Research & Development, who holds more than 440 patents, many of them for medical devices.

Facial Exercises for the Jaw Line There are 44 muscles in the face. As you age, they naturally lose strength and tone. One area that's particularly prone to sagging is the jaw line, although regular exercises can help build the jaw muscles and keep skin firm and lifted. Perform facial exercises regularly and combine them with a healthy diet, exercise, good skin care, and sun protection routine. Facial exercises force the muscles to expand and contract. This helps force lymph from areas such as the jaw line, where it often accumulates and causes sagging, says the TargetWoman health and lifestyle website. This exercise works the chin and the muscles at the front of your neck, which help support the skin on the jaw line. It's just as important to stretch the jaw muscles as it is to strengthen them.
