THE LAW OF ATTRACTION While it is true that you can apply the Law of Attraction to your love life, career, health and financial well-being, author Andrea Schulman believes that having a solid foundation of understanding is critical to using it with success. In an effort to explain the Law of Attraction in an easy and straightforward manner, she has posted this 20 minute video tutorial below to illustrate what it is, how it works and how you can use it to your advantage in life. She hopes that this video will bring a little life to this universal law, and make it easier to understand and apply. ANCIENT ASTRONOMY MORPHOTEL Italian engineer and architect Gianluca Santosuosso has come up with an innovative idea of a futuristic hotel which will literally float around the world. Should Santosuosso's concept come to life, it will cause an enormous change to the cruise industry, because, while it might seem similar to a luxurious cruise ship, this hotel will have a spine that will be able to shapeshift according to the ocean currents, changing its form according to them. His concept will be 800m long and will draw power from the waves as well as solar energy in order to operate – combining self-sufficiency with eco-friendly technologies. Energy will be stored using solar panels as well as the movement of waves. Along with this energy rainwater will be collected, filtered and stored, and sea water will be desalinated. For millenia, humans have known that certain objects in the night sky moved while other stars stood still. We now know these travelling objects are our neighbouring planets. But precise calculations on their movements remains a fuzzy area of history. However, a new clay tablet from ancient Babylonia (between 350 BCE or 50 BCE) shows that astronomers back then may have used advanced geometrical techniques – pushing back the 'discovery' of these principles as far as 1 750 years. In particular, it demonstrates the use of what we now know as Mertonian mean speed theorem, a 14th Century discovery that essentially was used to calculate the motions and velocity of an object across space and time. On these astronomical tablets the geometrical figure describes how Jupiter's velocity changes with time, so the figure is defined in time-velocity space, not in real space, the space in which we live.
