I am sending you energy and love from Puglia, south of Italy! This is my first Yoga Retreat experience, and I have to say that I really enjoy!

We are 14 people from different countries, enjoying good food, nice weather and relaxation.

Yesterday we did a wine tasting at an old castle – what a great experience !

Our teacher for the 5 days.

I smell wonderful flowers (such as gardenia, jasmine, etc.), eat super nice food and relaxing by the pool is also not bad 😉

Yoga in nature! Or on the rooftop…

Thanks to Do.Be.See for organizing this!!!

Yours, Fran

Innovation – Ani Liu has used emerging technologies to create human-scented perfumes

Ani Liu makes human-scented perfume by capturing volatile molecules from a person’s garment in a solvent for several weeks and then distilling the solution through traditional glassware.

Imagine bottling the scent of someone you love, eternalizing them forever, allowing you to dive into a fond memory of that person with just one whiff. Ani Liu has figured out how to make this sci-fi sounding fantasy a reality.

Liu is an artist who uses technology and science to develop multi-sensory experiences. Her work pulls from tools used in architecture, augmented reality, and synthetic biology—creating art that examines the social, cultural, and emotional effects of these emerging technologies.

Who did she bottled so far? She did around six people: Her husband, herself, her parents, a lab mate, and the chemist that was helping out. Using her parents … was very emotionally driven. She knows there will be a time when they pass away, so it was to create a time capsule of them before they passed.

It’s time for the weekend!!! Yours, Fran

The campaign launched with a goal of $1,200,000 and has already started to receive good reviews from the backers, obviously considering that farting is a universal phenomenon.

Will our future look a little brighter after this launch? Yours, Fran

Heyqnut is a grinding machine that prepares fresh nut butter in stores such as your local supermarket. The idea is coming from Germany, where the concept starts creating buzz around the world!

The idea makes total sense: people want to know more & more what exactly they are consuming! Plus we want to live healthier, whilst having a positive eating experience. Fast, uncomplicated and affordable.

The nice thing about Heyqnut is that your nut cream can firstly be made of multiple nuts, but secondly be used for multiple purposes: nice soups, pasta dishes, delicious curries, desserts, chocolate-creams or just pure on your bread. More info can be found on their website.

Enjoy your time-out! Yours, Fran

Business opportunities for sleep are wide and far: meet the Snoozeliner, a night bus equipped with designer beds and the latest technology, including olfactory relaxation, to promote optimal rest.

Tired of the hustle and bustle of public transport, which is hardly conducive to catching up on lost hours of sleep? An architectural firm based close to London, has created a vehicle for people leaving the capital after a night of partying that enables them to rest during their journey home: the Snoozeliner is equipped with designer beds and the latest technology to promote optimal rest.

Sound insulation and memory foam mattresses

The result of a collaboration between architectural firm Andersson-Wood and high-tech mattress brand Simba, the Snoozeliner features 14 futuristic looking capsules that can accommodate sleep-deprived travellers. It’s impossible to miss your stop: stewards come to wake travellers when they have reached their destination.

The night bus offers dreamy sleeping conditions: in addition to a memory foam mattress, the capsules are equipped with soundproofing insulation, opaque blinds and a soft light in amber, the most relaxing hue.

Olfactory relaxation

Travellers can even choose from a selection of room scents according to their personal needs that have been selected by aromatherapy specialists: want a heavy restorative sleep, or perhaps you are looking to dispel the first signs of a hangover? In development for the past four months, the Snoozeliner is expected to reach eight roads in the UK, including those leading to London, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, from Autumn 2018 onwards.

Woman can smell Parkinson’s disease

A British woman who can smell Parkinson’s disease has helped scientists discover 10 molecules linked to the condition which could lead to the first diagnostic test.

Joy Milne, conducting an experiment by sniffing a t-shirt to see if it’s owner has Parkinson’s disease.

It all began when Mrs Milne claimed she detected a change in the odour of her husband six years before he was diagnosed with the condition.

When researchers conducted tests with Mrs Milne they found that she was indeed able to distinguish people living with Parkinson’s from people without the condition by smelling skin swabs taken from both groups.

In one case, Mrs Milne identified an individual who had Parkinson’s, but at the time had not been diagnosed yet with the condition, because the person had no symptoms.

Now scientists have identified the 10 molecules which appear in high concentration of the skin swabs from Parkinson’s patients.

Our future looks much brighter! Happy holidays for you! Yours, Fran

So when the baby is falling asleep without having the mom close, it can still hear her heartbeat and smell her unique scent.

Here is a nice video to get the full story!

It‘s obviously just a replacement for real physical contact, but a good start!
