True Happiness

There is no nourishment like happiness - it's an elixir. There is no sickness like sorrow - it's a poison. The experience of true happiness cures the sickness of sorrow. A cheerful face goes a long way towards making everything better!
If you don't live life on purpose you live life by accident. Why do
some days feel like a motorway pile up? It's because you haven't
sorted out your purpose yet. The highest purpose is always giving, or
serving others, without wanting anything in return. This is why
relaxation is always impossible if we are always 'on the take'. There
is an overall purpose for your life, and each of the many scenes which
fill your day are opportunities to serve your purpose. Take time to
think deeply, listen to your intuition, and with patience, the reason
why you are here, and what you uniquely have to give, will occur to
you. Then you can live your life 'on purpose'.

Meditate on the image of a tree and think about its meaning.
Visualize the growth of the tree of life from a seed to sapling to a mature
tree. Now label the various parts of the tree (roots, trunk, branches,
etc.) with what you think are the specific spiritual qualities which
emerge from within the soul at different stages/phases of its journey
through the time of the drama of life on earth.
In the above exercise, you could identify the roots of the tree with
your childhood when qualities like carefreeness, innocence, obedience,
etc. emerge from within the soul;
the trunk could represent your youth when qualities like courage,
determination, cheerfulness, etc. emerge;
the branches could symbolize your middle-life when qualities like
adaptability, tolerance, co-operation, etc. emerge;
and the leaves could be a symbol for old age, during which qualities
like contentment, humility (egolessness), forgiveness, etc. emerge
from within the soul.

Thought Management
If we are stuck or trapped in our own thoughts we will not have control over them. When we observe them, we separate ourselves from them and we provide a space, and this is how we can control them and channel them in the direction we wish. In order to have control over something we must look at it from a certain distance, like an impartial observer. This practice helps us to realise the influences, both positive and negative, that there are in our life.
Observing our thoughts (which we do in the process of meditation) is the first step in understanding and, in the last analysis, taking full responsibility for them.
Message for the day
Where there is enthusiasm, there is the ability to create one's own fortune.
Projection: When things go wrong, or we don't seem to get what we are working for we tend to get disheartened and begin to blame our fate. When we get this feeling we can no longer give our best to improve the situation resulting in a lack of progress in our life.
Solution: We need to remind ourselves that our fate is in our hands. The main thing is not to become passive just blaming our fate but to work with enthusiasm. The more we work with positivity; we will find ourselves making a very high fortune for ourselves.
Google Glass
It has been touted as the future of computing, the next revolution in technology, and also been barred from many establishments before it even goes on sale.
However, until now, it has not been clear exactly how Google Glass, the search giant's eyewear, actually works.
Luckily, a designer has taken it upon himself to create an infographic showing exactly how Google manages to project an image into a user's view.
How Glass works: A German designer created this infographic to show how the eyewear projects an image
The infographic also reveals how Glass is focused so the image always appears sharp
WHERE TO LOOK?
'Depending on how you wear the Google Glass, the layer appears in the upper right corner or in the middle of the visual field,' says Missfeldt.
'When the Google Glass is high on the nose, so that you can practically see through underneath, you must turn the eye up to view the image sharp.
'Because the prism is semi-transparent you can also place it directly in front of the pupil. In that case, you have the sharp layer directly in front of the eyes.'
Martin Missfeldt, a German designer, said he created the graphic to show people how the Google system works.
'Google Glass is a technical masterpiece,' he said.
'It combines numerous functions and features in a very small unit. In addition to phone and camera (photo, video), it offers Internet connection, including GPS.'
Glass is set to go on sale later this year, although will initially be limited to developers and selected members of the public.
It is expected to cost under £1,000 when it becomes widely available.
'The core feature of Google Glass is a visual layer that is placed over the reality ('augmented reality'), explains Missfeldt
'This layer opens a door to amazing new possibilities.
'In the Google Glass contains a mini-projector, which projected the layer via a clever, semi-transparent prism directly on the retina in the eye.
'Because of this the image, even though it is so close to the eye, is sharp and clear.
'You can move the front part of the Google Glass easily to optimize the focus.'
Google has so far only released limited video footage of how Glass will actually look

Wearing glasses and using glass could be impossible, warns Missfeldt
Missfeldt also warns those wearing glasses with prescription lenses may struggle.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin demonstrating Google's new Glass - but the firm has so far refused to reveal exactly how it works
'The biggest challenge for Google will now be to make the Google Glass also usable for people with normal glasses (to compensate for a low vision).
'In this case the Google Glass has to be placed ahead of normal glasses - which doesn't look and feel well or like a glass.
'Or Google has to manufacture individual customized prisms, but this would be considerably more expensive than the standard production.
It comes as it emerged people wearing Google Glass eyewear could be banned from strip clubs, cinemas and casinos because their owners don’t want them filming there.
Bosses for establishments in the US said that due to privacy concerns they would be asking anyone wearing the glasses to remove them or they won’t be let in.
Lap dance clubs said that they would treat Google Glass wearers the same as anyone caught filming a stripper - and would kick them out.
Google will also make Glass available in different colours

Boarding School

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un supposedly attended the International School in Bern; Danish royalty were sent to Collège Alpin International Beau Soleil.
But no Swiss institution is as prestigious, expensive, or well-connected as Institut Le Rosey, located near Rolle.
The school, founded in 1880, is considered to be the world's most expensive private school, with annual tuition (including boarding) around $133,000.
Its alumni network is astounding: Former students include the last Shah of Iran, the Aga Khan, King Albert II of Belgium, Prince Rainier of Monaco, Dodi Al-Fayed, and the children of the royal families of Egypt, Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy and Britain, according to Forbes. The offspring of the American dynasties like the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and du Ponts also attended.
Håvard M. Ottestad has provided us with some pictures of Le Rosey; click through to see the campus and find out more about the school.
Le Rosey is located on two campuses: one in Rolle (beside Lake Geneva) for the spring session and the other in Gstaad (a picturesque ski village) for the winter.
