I placed some of the DNA on the ends of my fingers and rubbed them together. The stuff was sticky. It began to dissolve on my skin. 'It's melting -- like cotton candy.' 'Sure. That's the sugar in the DNA,' Smith said. 'Would it taste sweet?' 'No. DNA is an acid, and it's got salts in it. Actually, I've never tasted it.' Later, I got some dried calf DNA. I placed a bit of the fluff on my tongue. It melted into a gluey ooze that stuck to ..

Okay, a couple more: I happen to believe that economic success lies in the hands of SMEs, small and medium-sized enterprises. Four books I give away on SMEs are: George Whalin's Retail Superstars: Inside the Twenty-five Best Independent Stores in America (Favorite line: "Be the best, it's the only market that's not crowded."), Bo Burlingham's Small Giants: Companies That Choose to Be Great Instead of Big, Bill Taylor's Simply Brilliant: How..

Observatories are built on mountains to raise them above the thick, turbulent lower levels of the atmosphere. In principle, the higher the telescope the better. In practice, the expense of building mountain roads and the severity of high-altitude weather inspires a willingness to compromise. Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, which may be the highest observatory that will ever be built on Earth, stands at nearly 14,000 feet, where gale-force ..

What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you've ever made? Flying trapeze lessons. It's like shock therapy for the soul. Once you're 50 feet high, soaring on a trapeze, it's just you, your fear, and your instincts. It's the most intimate experience I've had with myself.

Five years ago, I decided to eliminate my reactive behavior to irritations, but at first none of my tricks worked. I placed philosophical and inspirational quotes on my iPhone wallpaper or wrote in my journal, but the proverbs always lost their effectiveness over time. Then, one day, I told one of my clients who blamed her husband for everything to take 100 percent responsibility for her part in their interactions. "This way," I said, "you ..

Over the last half of my life, I've read hundreds of poetry books. Whenever I read a poem that I loved or felt a deep connection to, I added it to a collection I titled "200 Antidepressant Poems." Now, whenever I feel overwhelmed or feel I did something wrong, I go to the meditation room, randomly open my manuscript, then read a poem loudly. Usually two poems are enough to make me feel better and restore love in my heart. Here are my 11 fav..

When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, what do you do? Whenever I'm feeling like I need to prioritize what I'm doing or overthinking a particular situation that is making me anxious, I try to remember this great exchange in the film Bridge of Spies. Tom Hanks, who plays a lawyer, asks his client, who is being accused of being a spy, "Aren't you worried?" His answer: "Would it help?" I always think, "Would it help?" That is the pivotal ques..

Baade, born and raised in Germany, had lost his U. S. citizenship papers, and found himself classed an enemy alien. Barred from security clearance, he was left alone with the 100-inch telescope. As if in an astronomer's fantasy, he watched from Mt. Wilson as the lights of Los Angeles disappeared into wartime blackout.

Apoyados por las investigaciones llevadas a cabo en el ambito del diseno de juegos, los resultados de Jack Stack y Western Electric pueden resumirse en una simple ecuacion: medicion = motivacion. Ver progresos en forma de cifras cambiantes convierte lo repetitivo en algo fascinante y crea un bucle de retroalimentacion positivo. Vemos de nuevo como el acto de medir es a menudo mas importante que lo que se mide. Citando al estadistico George ..
