An interesting take on Motivation

 An interesting article by Dr. Emily Balcetis, Professor of Psychology, New York University for the BBC. The title of the article is "How to run faster" which is a bit off-putting for me. However, it is really worth a look, for the average person.  It  asks - "why don't we exercise?".  They have turned to neuroscience for the answer.

A solution to the problem could be found in a simple technique. Look at the finish line.

I strongly recommend that we take a look at this video clip. To paraphrase its message - begin with the end in mind.

Bras in the News

 A news item from the ABC featured a discussion about bras. The Australian Olympic team were measured up for proper bras. (I am assuming it was only the females.)  Even then, a very high proportion of them were not necessarily comfortable.  The conclusion was that more work needs to done - not only for the women athletes, but all women, to ensure their bras fit correctly.

Here is a recent news article from the ABC
