REASONS TO LOVE SUMMER


 . VITAMIN D
 . SPOON FULL OF FOOD, COCKTAILS FOR DINNER
 . FASHION SEEMS EFFORTLESS
 . MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER
 . WALKING AROUND NAKED IS OKAY
 . ps GETTING IN & OUT OF THE SHOWER FEELS GOOD... TOWEL ON TOWEL OFF
 . THE SMELL OF BBQ AND FLOWERS FILL THE AIR
 . LATE NIGHTS
... and  the anticipation for much much more

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.- Goethe

Here are the six common sleeping positions and correlated personality traits and health implications, according to this study.

  • Fetus position - A whopping 41% of participants sleep in this curled-up manner. Women are twice as likely to rest like this and it is listed as the most common position. These sleepers are said to have a tough exterior but are still sensitive and may appear to be shy but warm up quickly.
  • Log position - If you sleep on your side with both arms down, you are a social, easy-going person who is trusting, sometimes to the point of being gullible. The study showed 15% of people sleep like a log.
  • Yearner position - A close third is the side-lying position with both arms out in front of the body, with 13% of partipants sleeping like this. Yearners are noted to be open-minded and still cynical, suspicious, and stubborn about sticking to decisions once they are made.
  • Soldier position - These sleepers lie on their backs with arms down and kept close to the body. This 8% study is said to be reserved, quiet, without fuss, and hold themselves and others to a high standard. Soldier sleepers have a higher likelihood for snoring due to the flat-back position, which may not cause them to wake up often but may result in a less restful night's sleep.
  • Freefall position - Those people who lie on their bellies with arms under or wrapped around a pillow with head turned to the side, make up 7% of the population studied. Freefallers are brash, outgoing, and are very uncomfortable with criticism. 
  • Starfish position - Sleepers who lie on their backs with arms up near their head or the pillow account for 5% of participants. These people are good listeners, helpful, and are uncomfortable being the center of attention. People who sleep in starfish position are more likely to snore and to suffer from a poor night's sleep more often.
If you think you are one of those people who move through all of these positions, that's not likely to really be the case. Idzikowski said the research reveals most people stay in the same position all night and only 5% lay differently night by night. Also interesting is that the study showed only one in ten people cover their bodies entirely with a blanket, with most people exposing an arm, leg, or both feet.

pg 347 he kept tearing off his shirt which was the only sign of life
he lived for weeks on milk and eggs and a bit of cognac. 
Franz greatly enjoyed his bath and while he was in it, even uttered sometimes a few words, opened his mouth, sighed or groaned, although nobody was able to make anything out of these sounds.

The

perfect

seat: The

perfect seatlies

in illumination,

a cloud of light

a soft spotlight

With an aura

of Invitation

The perfect

seat can speak. I can spot it as soon

as I step in the aisle It has a view that

is vast. It is dugout from the rest, The

perfect seat is safe. It is its own cozy

office.  The  air  is  clean  and  clear

It                                               opens

the                                           world

to                                                 me.

I see the pages fill up, one after another after another.
 The train moves along so quickly... one imaginative thought per house. I guess it’s a telling example of how times are constantly in motion changing before the eyes. it's going, gone. then I wake up and again I see you.

“It is not the consciousness of men that determines their existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness.” 
(1859, Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy)


"In Manufacture the isolation of each detail process is a condition imposed by the nature of the division of labour, but in the fully developed factory the continuity of those processes is, on the contrary, imperative" (Capital,vol. I II III. pub. 1867-1894)
