In European airports will soon be a new service - wireless charger for mobile phones.
The new system was developed by Finnish company PowerKiss. In the mobile phone is inserted into a special ring (iRing). It can be taken for free in online cafes and restaurants located in airports, such as Starbucks, Burger King or Pizza Hut. Devices will be mounted in the tables, placed in these institutions, according to Independent. To phone began to charge enough to combine the ring with a special mark on the table. While the phone is charging, the ring will be highlighted in red. White light indicates that the battery is full.
The scheme, already tested in the Helsinki Airport, will be introduced in more than 30 European airports: in Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Manchester, Malaga, Geneva, Zurich, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Stockholm Arlanda and others.

Most often, when the adult daughter is getting married, each parent enters a new phase of his life since leaving the house not only the favorite child, whose life took care of the parents, but also on behalf of his daughter's best friend goes for mom, caring girl for my daddy and in general a huge part of life.
Of course, most daughters continue to maintain close relationships with their parents, even having his own family and children. But here is the relationship between parents and adult married daughter, rarely remain the same, in any case there is some rearrangement of roles and manners of communication. And how much is reasonable and sensitively perceive the new circumstances both parties, and depends on the subsequent fate of the relationship.
Of course, the most ideal situation is when the period of marriage, a daughter has been able to emerge as an individual and has gained some psychological independence from parents. And the parents themselves, in turn, should give her daughter an opportunity to dispose of their own lives, that is, the right to make their own decisions and bear the consequences, trusting their own powers and abilities. But in life, this scenario comes true very often. What tips will help avoid or resolve conflicts that arise?Causes of Conflict
Oddly enough, but his daughter married, almost always a complete surprise to the parents, that is, they can certainly know about the event, but be prepared that this has already happened. Let us first consider the causes of conflict?From the mother
Mother's hard to reconcile with the fact that her daughter is with her on an equal footing, or in some areas exceeds it. Conflict arises when the mother can not go with the pointing and carer tone for relations between two adult women and to give his daughter the right to do something differently. For example, if my own family lived in a little prosperity, the quality stuff and toys for children's daughter, may be perceived as a luxury and indulgence, and be subject to reproach.
Next problem - this feeling useless, daughter safely do without her mother's advice, and more time devoted to his family. Hence the hostility toward her husband's daughter, who gets almost all attention is precious.Father's side
In relation to the daughters more often fathers are especially care and control. Therefore, ordinary everyday quarrels (and they occur in all families), cause her father a storm of feelings and deny objective view of the situation. It's his favorite daughter sits offended and upset, let alone the needs here in-law and not interfere in family matters adult children. Therefore, it is most often the father is taken to solve conflict situations, defending his "baby."
The second problem - this is the material side of the relationship the parent and child of the family. If the father helps with financial issues (which often happens), the son-in will automatically be recorded in his eyes, like a bad earner, and it can speak in the form of accusations against him. When it comes to how to fix crooked teeth without braces grandson, help your parents may be needed, and for this assistance will have to "sweat" morally.Tips for parents and daughters - understand, without reproach
Naturally the first to set a new tone of relations, is the parents - because they are more experienced and wiser, and be sure the children will tell you the warmth and attention. After all, parents should always and at any age, so do not think that by not actively intervene in family life, his daughter, you will not need or least favorite. Parents will not replace nor husband nor the children loved.The main advice for parents
* Be helpful but not intrusive. Find common areas of a combination of where you need each other. Perhaps, parenting, wisdom, economy, comfort in time of family difficulties. For example, during the conflict in the family's daughter, it is better to spend weekends with the grandkids, and to allow his daughter and her husband quietly build relationships, rather than berating ne'er-in-law and telling her daughter that "You have warned her." At this position, you will always be first assistant in difficult situations and welcome guests in the house.
* Go to a friendly tone, of course, sometimes you need to tell and advice, and perhaps point out a mistake, but in doing so, remember that before you are not a child who was accountable for the prank, but an adult who, like everyone can make mistakes . Try to leave the "childish attitude, trust their grown daughter, let it become partnerships, friendships, relationships, the two adults.
* And my father and mother should stay active people, even after children leave home, and there is no past troubles. And is it not the time to start resembling their favorite things, pay attention to each other. This will give your daughter's "gold" of parents who are engaged in their own interests and do not require undue attention, and at the same time, always ready to help a young family.
* Special attention would be desirable to pay towards her husband's daughter, even though "it's not worth your girl, etc.", he deserves respect, in the end, it is a choice for your daughter and she with him well. So try to see in it the positive side, and the disadvantages your daughter to consider it herself without your help.
Particularly want to highlight the relationship of married daughters and a single mother, in this case by the daughter requires special attention, sensitivity, because the mother may be alone in the literal sense of the word. Therefore, at first, be patient, give the opportunity to adjust to such changes, assured of his love. Still, your family must come first, because there are obligations to their children. In this situation the mother should be active in favor of taking care of yourself, meet up with old friends, colleagues and enjoy a new exciting activity, or new items Explore the technology (Internet, etc.). Loving yourself will be easier to love their grandchildren and daughters, and children will be more likely to visit you and call in guests, because you are happy and satisfied with life, and not offended by the whole world.
But his daughter with his side can take a lot to preserve priceless relationships with parents. Here are some tips:

Meet some of the innocent, but staryaschimi our habits.You are very emotional and your face has always been actively involved in a conversation

If you notice yourself this dangerous habit for beauty, then try to control their facial expressions during the conversation. For this pre-configure itself to the fact that you will not "work" in the face during a conversation, eventually you will not have to control themselves, so as not to grimace, "will be your good habit.

Such neglect will inevitably lead to premature skin aging. Even though that is not the summer or you just ran into a nearby shop, UV rays do their job, and you'll get crows feet around the eyes, pigmentation and aged skin. When you purchase points, note their size, it's better if they are large, since the narrow little help protect the delicate skin area around the eyes. It is also important to use cosmetics with SPF-filters, which will not allow sunlight to age your skin.
On the gloves, it is important to note that they not only save your skin from the cold, but also from the sun and wind. If you're still not going to take care of the skin of the hands, then get ready for the appearance of wrinkles, pimples and pigmentation that is, all the signs of age of skin aging.You are used to constantly rub your eyes
Such a habit will necessarily lead to the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes and sagging skin around the eyes. Once you have found yourself in the habit, immediately begin to strictly control yourself. It is not easy, because it is a habit, and therefore need to help themselves to renounce it. To do this, start to paint the eyes mascara, apply to the area under the eyes of a proofreader, to limit their capabilities and do not rub your eyes. Of course, the first stages of possible mishaps in the form of pulverized face makeup, so it pays to carry a makeup remover and makeup to be able to again nakrasili.

Try to take your hands, flip through magazines, iterate over the beads, knit. In general, distract yourself from obsessive-compulsive movements and, of course, supervise them.
If the vessels still stood out, see your doctor for help and use a tone masking tools. Usually sufficient for drugs such as askorutin-promoting blood vessels.

If these methods do not help, you should see a specialist, which helps normalize the activities of vessels.
Take care of yourself and the beauty of the influence of bad habits!
Gerontology we used to perceive as the science of studying the aging process, whose mission - to help older people cope with age-related problems. In fact far more important than their prevention, which is today called the anti-age-therapy.
It is intended to correct the inequities of nature, in which some live to 100 years and more, while others barely step over the threshold of retirement age. Is this possible? On this and other questions are answered Vladimir Khavinson, MD, professor, Corresponding Member. RAMS, Director of the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, senior gerontologist Petersburg.
- Vladimir Khatskelevich, anti-age-therapy called the new direction in medicine and hope that with the development of its people will finally be able to live up to 250 years old and up to 300, explaining that it was such a term is the body of nature. That in these statements is true and what - the desire to wishful thinking?
- When we say that a person can live 250-300 years, it's true - the organism has no such reserves. Maybe after many years will be found ways so radical life extension, but at the current level of knowledge - physics, chemistry, biology - it's impossible. At all times, longevity was a mystery to mankind, which it tries to open. Someone looking for a perpetual motion machine, someone immortality - and well, if they do it honestly mistaken, and not moshennichaya and not making money out of gullible people. Today, it is certain that nature has the upper limit of life - 110-120 years (up to 122 years, lived only one man, as recorded in the Guinness Book of Records). In Russia, the longest-lived yakutchanka Barbara testicular - 117 years. Fortunately, in Yakutia, there was no war, and therefore preserved the archives, for which it was possible to verify the authenticity of the date of birth.
- But in the media regularly get messages that are found centenarians who have lived and 125, and 130 years ...
- These are the cases where it is impossible to determine the true age. As proof of passport data are presented, drawn from the words. That is why the International Fund for accounting centenarian population of the planet has decided to recognize the age of only when data are available church records of birth (no erasures), while it is desirable that there were witnesses. Unfortunately, in the European part of this very difficult. Or in Chechnya, for example, where traditionally a lot of long-lived, but the archives also have not been saved ...
- But whether it is good - live up to such old age?
- Neither good nor bad - of course. The aging of the world's population continues - in 2050 on Earth will be more than one billion people aged 60 and older. In St. Petersburg, now more than 25 percent of the population - people of retirement age. The aging of society - a satellite of human evolution, a natural process: the older the civilization, the longer people live. And they are very valuable to society because of their experience, wisdom and professional knowledge. See artist BE Yefimov dead at 109 th year of life, our Academician FG Angles - to 104-year life, it is up to 95 years conducted classes in the department and did the operation. Artist VM Zeldin (96 years), directed by JP Lyubimov (1992), many scientists and academicians who have reached old age, are active, this suggests that the potential to work actively and to be a useful member of society in the age of 80 years and we see this steady trend.
- But why some people are willing to move mountains and 70, and 80 years, and the other at this age feel so badly that prepared the ferry?
- The fact that all our organs and tissues have 30-percent biological resource - the supply of so-called stem (pluripotent) cells. Realized he was not all. That's why some survive to extreme old age, one can say in good health, others are not. These cells are a kind of substrate for increasing the duration of life and include in the process of life, they keep working organs and body systems.
- What is anti-age therapy and whether it can extend the activity in old age?
- It depends on what meant by anti-age-therapy. Today it is referred to by many, even cosmetology centers. There are centers that practice hormone therapy to rejuvenate the body, which is actually very dangerous - when you receive hormones from outside, suppressed their production of the body, to no good it does not.
ANTI-age-therapy - is slowing down the aging process so that the body is forced to engage in processes of his life are the same, 30 percent of biological reserve.
- Is there a way to 'artificial inclusion "of this biological reserve?
- Yes, and this is proved in the course of long experiments to increase the duration of life, which were conducted in the USSR in animals and then on humans. Russia, but rather the Soviet Union holds the world record in the field of life extension in the experiment. 30 years ago on the basis of the Military Medical Academy. SM Kirov was a special laboratory with an experimental clinic, where the conduct costly research. In the development of drugs, their study involved nearly 50 research institutes all over the USSR. Of course, only with the physical facilities of the USSR and in particular the Ministry of Defense could utilize the scientific potential of the whole Union. As a result, it was created 6 drugs, they are introduced in the Russian pharmacy, and used in the treatment of various diseases. Based on them were established drugs to prevent aging - bioregulators.
- What is Bioregulators? This is precisely the "rejuvenating tablets, dreamed about for millennia?
- Bioregulator - is peptides, small proteins, which do not form antibodies, and is normally present in the body. We get them and without the "pills" by eating meat products. In the process of assimilation of meat protein breaks up the peptides, they fall into the stomach, the intestines into the blood to cells and regulate gene activity. These processes are programmed by nature. But in order to "start" the cells that make up the biological resources of the body, the income of peptides from food is not enough. Need large quantities in the laboratory bioregulators we have learned to distinguish them from young animals. By introducing these drugs to animals, we have increased life expectancy to the upper limit of the species by reducing the incidence of malignant tumors, enhance the immune and cardiovascular systems of the brain by maintaining bone density ... That is, the activity of organs and tissues of the body remained at the level of middle-aged, and the period of its existence in a state old-age decline. Application bioregulators people (the elderly) is studied for 12 years, the result - reduction of mortality by half.
- Does this mean that it is enough to start taking bioregulators, long and active lives and we achieved?
- What would be ideal were not modern medicine and pharmacology, even if they have provided us with the almighty pill of eternal youth, and the person taking it, would continue to ruin yourself - do not sleep at night, drinking, smoking, the spare capacity of the body will be powerless, so that him in any case they must help. Great health is the environment, but here man is powerless drastically change something. But he can lead a healthy lifestyle, drink clean water, eat right ... We conducted research among the oldest old St. Petersburg, and found that among them there is no complete human and not a single vegetarian (a protein the body needs), and that's what people prefer - tea or coffee, did not matter. Reliably known - all centenarians were fed a regular basis (breakfast, lunch and dinner), this means that the body regularly received the necessary nutrients for metabolic processes. Do not avoid physical exertion, even physical education is very important from a biological point of view - with the help of motion we are struggling with stagnant in the body: in a cage included, must get out of it.
- At what age should engage in anti-age-therapy - prevention of aging?
- Geriatrists sure that you can start and closer to retirement ... Pediatricians also said that prevention should be dealt with almost from birth, because the aging process begins at age 14, when formed bone system, and the body begins to age is the age of three. But the truth is, as always, somewhere in the middle. To avoid the most frightens us frailty in old age, prevention of aging needs to be dealt with 30 years. In this case, under the anti-age-therapy should be understood, above all, care about their health. Smart-sighted people is conducting a survey, identify a predisposition to certain diseases, and consciously take measures that would prevent them develop.
