How Long Will You Live? Check the Strength of Your Handshake
Whenever I meet another guy, I always make sure that my handshake is firm and assertive, just like my dad taught me. Most men were raised to give a firm handshake when meeting someone. A firm handshake means that you're a "man," and that you mean what you say and stand for something. A firm handshake gains immediate respect, while a limp hand places you in a submissive position.

Disconnect from Technology and Reconnect with Family Members
Today's technology helps us connect with people all across the globe and, yet, it also causes us to disconnect with each other. Back in October, I wrote about how today's technology appears to be stressing people out as well as disconnecting them from one another.

Smartphones Get Smarter – Will Have Anti-Theft Kill Switches
Yesterday I posted a blog about a new type of cell phone battery and charging system that could allow us to recharge our phones in thirty seconds.

New Cell Phone Battery May Change Recharging Forever
Jenny and Emily typically set their cell phones on the kitchen counter each evening when going to bed and let them recharge overnight. Why? That's a convenient time to charge them, especially considering it takes an hour or two for the batteries to recharge. When your cell phone is almost completely drained, do find that you have to wait for an hour or two for the battery to recharge? This is
