A dragon is a legendary creature. It is usually depicted as having serpent-like or reptile-like characteristics. Dragons feature in the mythology of many cultures around the globe. The most recognizable kinds of dragon are the European depiction which comes from traditional folk legend, and the dragons of the Far East; for example, the dragon of China. An embroidered dragon will usually adhere to one of these two types of dragon mythology. There...more
We all have some sense that we reap what we sow - or what goes around comes around - but quantum physics actually scientifically proves that karma is a powerful force in our lives. As quantum physics might put it, energy in : energy out. So, for starters, let's examine a couple of important facts that can enlighten us on why our lives may not be all that they should be. You will, over the course of the next few minutes come to the conclusion that, if that is the case (that your life is not all that it should be) then it's as a result of your own inaction and stupidity.The first point to note is that 96% of us - so-called normal people - are not all there! Rather, only 1% of our energy is focused on the here and now. If you're putting only 1% of your energy into what you're supposed to be doing at the present moment, if the universe works on the basis of energy in : energy out, what kind of response can you expect? The answer is self-evident.Second fact. Normal people live (and that's probably not the right word) automatic lives. We constantly react instead of taking real action. That means that we are rarely doing the most appropriate thing, rarely doing the right thing. On the...more

Travel + Leisure's 2009 America's Favorite Cities Survey covered 30 cities coast to coast. According to the survey Charleston, New Orleans and Minneapolis/St. Paul were the friendliest cities. New York City was the unfriendliest. When it came to cleanliness, Minneapolis/St. Paul ranked highest, followed by Portland and Denver. New York was the dirtiest. For safety Portland was #1, Minneapolis/St. Paul #2 and Charleston #3. Los Angeles was #30. Minneapolis/St. Paul also rated highest for having the most intelligent residents. I'm not going to say which city supposedly had the least intelligent residents - I'm more intelligent than that. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention based a 2009 study on survey data collected over the past 4 years. One of the questions asked of 1.3 million people across the U.S. was how satisfied they were with their lives. The happiness rankings were compared with studies that rated states for things like air quality, climate, commuting time, crime and taxes. Louisiana was found to be the happiest state, followed by Hawaii, Florida and Tennessee. New York was the unhappiest. What the study also found was that people in the happier states had better...more
