Three Laws Of Memory "Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws." There are three great laws of memory which are as a rock under the feet of the earnest student in his quest for a trustworthy memory. These laws are at once the foundation and the crown of any sound and sensible memory system. Knowing these, the earnest seeker, for the right method cannot go wrong. Those who have been skeptical about the value of memory systems, as well as those who have fancied memory-training to be a superficial species of mental freakwork would do well to study these laws carefully. These are not theories, nor are they haphazard guesses or experiments. Concentration has been discussed in the pre-ceding chapter, and because of its outstanding - importance will be treated more fully later on. In relation to the other laws, we must give it first place, using it as a basis for the association and repetition of facts to be remembered. The third great law is Repetition.
Eeeeeee In Hollywood, if what you're doing is not in front of the camera, what's the point? No one knew better how to design for the screen than MGM Art Director Cedric Gibbons and the house he built for himself and movie star wife Dolores Del Rio was custom-made for a cinematic life. (Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for real life as they divorced in 1941.) This 1930s masterpiece of Deco has all the high style flourishes we would hope for: mirrors everywhere, shiny surfaces gratis of a polished black rubber floor, and mysterious zig-zag walls and staircases that hint at glamorous intrigues. I firmly believe that this house was made to be seen in black and white - which was how everything was photographed in the 1930s.

Derry also captured some of the rooms in b&w:

Frugal Mom - Frugal Living & Work at Home Ideas : Frugal Mom How Important Is "Executive Intelligence" for Leaders? Summing Up Judging from the number of responses to the July column, Justin Menkes, author of the book Executive Intelligence, appears to have tapped into a hot issue with his concern that what he terms "executive intelligence" is underrated, under-measured, and under-experienced in the selection and development of leaders. Some took issue with his definition, a few disagreed with his main thesis, and a number suggested the importance of executive intelligence as only one ingredient in leadership success. Stephen Burkett said: "… I find that the core of the issue remains the definition of executive intelligence … Executive intelligence is less about number-crunching power or one's grasp of advanced concepts, and more about evaluating situations and taking appropriate action." There was a full range of opinions regarding the importance of EI, perhaps in part due to the breadth with which the term was defined in each case. The issue of recognizing the trait arose as well.

Señorita Puri (acuda a caja 7) » The Cheapskate Guide: 50 Tips for Frugal Living Post written by Leo Babauta. Follow me on Twitter. Confession time: I’m a cheapskate. Some would say frugal, which sounds much more positive, but in reality I can be a real cheapskate. I am fairly frugal (though not always), but sometimes I take it too far: I have T-shirts with holes in them, I never buy new clothes, we’re shopping for a new couch because our current one has holes in it, and I ran my current pair of running shoes until the soles fell off. However, I have gradually learned to be frugal in many ways that I would recommend to others. Why live frugally? All of which you might believe, but I believe I do have a life.
