17 ways of persuading people

1. Be confident, talk fast

The best way to persuade audiences that are not inclined to agree with you, is to talk fast. Fast pace is distracting and people find it difficult to pick out the argument’s flaws. When talking to an audience who is likely to agree (preaching to the choir), slow down and give the audience time to agree some more.

Want to boost persuasive power? Talk with confidence.

Jetman goes head-to-head with the real deal [video]

Flying like a bird is so twentieth century, and why settle for soaring when you can hang with the jet set?

That’s exactly what Yves Rossy, aka “The Jetman,” has been up to over the Swiss Alps in the company of two L-39C Albatros jets of the Breitling Jet Team. This is only the latest feather in the helmet of the Swiss inventor who has also crossed the English Channel in under ten minutes, cruised over the Grand Canyon and had a bit of fun with a hot air balloon.

Aquino Administration too hard on GMA?

MANILA, Philippines — A Pasay City court Friday issued a warrant for the arrest of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on charges of electoral sabotage

Comment: I think GMA deserves a due process, but sadly the politics in the philippines is a "palakasan" and "gantihan" system. They gave her permission to leave the country, but administration stop her from leaving the country, that's why they gave her warrant of arrest. It's so sad that currently our admins way of understanding  politics is different, an eye for an eye, the politics way of life.

Scientists build an artificial brain

Computers are great at performing functions in the same way over and over again. They're not so great at adapting to situations they haven’t seen before. Now a group of researchers from MIT is using the human brain as a model for the circuits in a machine -– and opening the way to a computer that can really learn.

The key is plasticity. Plasticity is the quality of human brains that makes them able to change in response to stimuli. It’s one reason many neuroscientists think we remember and learn. It also underlies the ability of the brain to recover from injuries.

Pro Athlete’s advice: 4 signs you’re overworked

Sometimes it’s obvious we need a break, but in most cases we figure it out too late. 

Here are ways to ensure you stay at your professional best:

Check your resting heart rate. Every day, before you get out of bed, take your pulse. (There are plenty of free apps that make it easy. Some even log results.) Most of the time your heart rate will stay within a few beats per minute. But when you’re overworked and stressed your body sends more oxygen to your body and brain by increasing your heart rate. (The same thing happens when athletes overtrain and their bodies struggle to recover.) If your heart rate is up in the morning, do whatever it takes to get a little extra rest or sleep that night.

Check your emotions. Having a bad day? Feeling irritable and short-tempered? If you can’t put your finger on a specific reason why, chronic stress and fatigue may have triggered a physiological response and sent more cortisol and less dopamine to your brain. Willing yourself to be in a better mood won’t overcome the impact of chemistry, and in extreme cases the only cure is a break.
