If music be the food of love, play on. Emmanuel Fonte website is about music, art, real estate, architecture, design and decor. Occasionally, I talk about my other passion, hockey.
Fibonacci spirals occur throughout nature, but I thought you would like to share my experience when I sharpen an edge, work my wood and share it with a gifted filmmaker.

In this uplifting short film, directed by Max Thurlow and Nick Trumble, Noisey meets 93 year old jazz pianist Edward Hardy. Ed was given a new lease of life and relief from dementia and depression, when his care home discovered he was a talented pianist in his younger days. They reunited him with his ex-band members for a special performance, which proved the power of music for people suffering cognitive disorders.
Invisible Oregon is a stunning time-lapse film shot entirely with infrared converted cameras, uncovering a landscape that’s out of reach of ordinary human sight. “Invisible Oregon is a study of light across time and space,” wrote the http://www.achaten-suisse.com/ filmmaker Sam Forencich. “As the sun rises over the state of Oregon, infrared light travels across the earth revealing the subtleties of new growth and the dramatic intersection of sky and earth.” Forencich is a photographer for the National Basketball Association by day, and experiments with different types of filmmaking in his spare time. The sound design for Invisible Oregon was done by his son, Travis Forencich.
Moving house can be incredibly stressful, especially on the day when the removal men arrive and the house is put into utter chaos. Well if you think this is stressful, imagine what it’s like for your dog! Random men bowling through the house, moving all of your things without your permission and having to get out of their way all of the time. What a nightmare!
So here at here at FLEXiSPACE.com, we’ve come up with a guide to make this day far more enjoyable for your canine pal.
It covers what you should do before, during and after the move, and provides some fun games you can play to keep them entertained, as well as travel advice and some products that can chill out a dog that’s getting hot under the collar.
Like many millennials, I’m inseparable from my phone. There aren’t many places I go without having a connection to the outside world. But did you know that the average person checks their cell phone over 100 times a day?
It’s clear that this can easily become a problem for people. 40 percent of people check their cell phones while using the bathroom, and a shocking 1 in 10 people use their phones in the shower. (I guess waterproof cases are there for a reason.)
1 in 5 millennials admit to using their smartphones during sex, and almost 60% of people check their phones before falling asleep.
When I was a kid, I remember having my Internet usage taken away as punishment. These days, it’s even more likely that parents and teenagers argue about phones, which isn’t surprising. Half of teens say they are addicted to their phones, and half of people feel uneasy when they forget their phones at home.
Terrifyingly enough, 3 in 4 people say they have texted at least once while driving, and 56% of parents check their phones while driving.
There is absolutely no reason to associate meditation with religion these days, not if you’re atheist or agnostic. It’s totally possible to be secular and still consider it just as valuable. Which it is. There’s also no reason to associate it with claims about superpowers, enlightenment, seeing other dimensions, or suddenly being able to do triple backflips with a jam sandwich on your head. The last one would be cool though.
As mentioned in the video, it’s essentially the art of gaining conscious control of the rest of you mind, just by observation. Lots of folk have explained it better than I ever could:

We spend a third of our lives asleep. Not only is it necessary to stay healthy and functioning, but it’s also enjoyable to wake up feeling refreshed.
If you’re having trouble sleeping, there could be a number of things causing your insomnia. An easy way to help your body catch some zzz’s is to optimize your sleeping space for rest.
So how much sleep do you really need? If you’re under 18, you should aim for about 10 hours of sleep. (You’re even luckier if you’re an infant––babies spend about 16 hours of the day snoozing.)
One of the easiest ways to improve your sleep health? Painting your bedroom in a soothing color. Avoid matte finishes, or you may have more light reflected in your room. If you live in an apartment or rented property, check with management before trying this tip.
Also, invest in sheets that are at least 300-thread count and buy the most expensive mattress you can afford. Keep your house cool and your bedroom clean.
Blackout curtains are also an easy way to improve your sleep schedule. These curtains can help block out light and sound.
Don’t let technology leave you tired! Turn your phone off an hour before bed and sleep with your phone on silent.
Now that you’ve got your bedroom ready, it’s time to think about how your daily routine affects your sleep schedule.
