There are a lot of benefits to our health from getting massages. If people didn’t see a massage as an occasional indulgence, we could be seeing a big chunk of the population using massage therapy to improve their overall health. In this article, I will go over several ways that getting…

To begin with what exactly is “data collection?” It’s quite a broad term, and really, anything can be considered data collection if you really think about. Technically you’re collecting data when scribbling a few ideas onto a notepad, or the way your phone’s camera collects data from light in the environment when you’re taking a selfie. But data collection of the nefarious kind, however, includes personally identifiable information such as your Social Security number, email address, credit card details, browsing history, search entries, email conversations, medical information, etc. The list is long. 

Planning a party can be as simple as throwing a few appetizers on the table and playing some mainstream music in the background. While those types of get-togethers can be enjoyable, low-key events, they don’t exactly have the makings of a memorable experience for your guests. That isn’t quite what you should go for when you are looking to celebrate a significant life event or milestone birthday.

When architect Ian Simpson designed the Manchester skyscraper known as No. 1 Deansgate, he was sure to buy the top two floors for himself (48th and 49th) as a 12,500 sq.ft. shell before construction began on the tower.

Excuse me as I pick my jaw up off the floor. For more of my favorite dream homes you can visit Dream Homes on FEELguide.

The last few years have seen increasing advances in the healthcare sector. Fundamentally, they can be attributed to modern-day technology and its continuous evolution. While, of course, many concepts are developed as a means to altering the long-term outlook of the global health industry, it is clear that inventions involving real-time technology and virtual reality – developed for convenience in other areas of life – are having a significant immediate impact in healthcare that is revolutionizing the sector.

In the new Hulu movie Palm Springs (an update of the Groundhog Dog concept) Andy Samberg’s character gets trapped in an intimate time loop, forever stuck in the desert resort town on his friend’s wedding day. He gets to relive the same day over and over again, test-driving new pickup lines on every random wedding guest he fancies.

The Silk Road was the largest and the most important trade route in human history. It was pivotal to the economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between the various regions of the Old World. The modern globalized world as we know it today could not exist without it. Furthermore, the Silk Road opened new paths for people to exchange goods, cultures, religions, technologies, flora and fauna, and ideas. Many great ancient civilizations owe their greatness to the trade with other cultures — most notably, the impact of Chinese-invented paper and gunpowder.
