Jess is the blogger behind Will Run For Food where she professes her love for running and her zeal for leading a health life. Jess claims that she is a terrible cook, but getting better, and incidentally the blog got started as a way for her to share her cooking misadventures but somewhere along the way the niche of the blog morphed into a place to share her thoughts on living healthy.
She writes articles on stuff related to running, healthy quick recipes and articles meant to inspire and motivate others to lead a health lifestyle. She has not had any formal training for what she writes on and states on the blog that - "I’ll clarify right now: I am not a nutritionist or formally educated in health or nutrition. The knowledge I impart is from experience and extensive personal research.".
As a child I was in love with Winnie the Pooh and the whole gang, his sincerity towards friendship, love, simplicity and honey always cheered me up. One of my favorite sayings by A.A. Milne, creator of Winnie the Pooh is: "sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart."
Alan Alexander Milne wrote tales for his son Christopher Robin Milne about a bear, most of the characters' names except for Owl and Rabbit were named after Christopher's stuffed animals.
What I loved the most about Winnie the Pooh is that each character has a wonderful and thought provoking message for everyone. They talk about friendship, life, believing, pessimism and bravery. But if you really ponder over these quotes you will find that not only are they inspirational in the simplest of ways, but can teach you a lot about running a business.

The image on the left is not of an actual elephant, nor is it a drawing or an illustration, it is in fact an incredibly detailed chair created by Maximo Riera.
The Animal Chair collection consists of designs of various animals like a walrus, an octopus, a rhino and the most recent, an elephant. Riera uses technology to make sure that every detail in his collection is more than perfect. He first creates a 3D sketches, feeds them into the computer, and using mechanized tools, the sculpture is replicated with utmost precision.
"The process certainly allowed the artist to accomplish a superb level of detail and authentic texture." describes Riera's website. Maximo Riera is an artist whose interests lies in photography, painting, sculptures and poetry; his work is mostly inclined towards abstract expressionism.

Ever wished if there was a cool means of negotiating that regular commute that you have to undertake often, that is too far to walk but too short for a conventional vehicle? Enter the ZBoard, a battery powered skateboard that you control using two pressure sensing pads at the front and rear of the skateboard. Apply pressure to the front pad and the skateboard moves forward, and ease out on the front pad and apply pressure to the rear pad and the skateboard comes to a halt. You can see the specifications of the ZBoard here.
It also features a regenerative braking technology which actually recharges the battery when attempting to come to a stop, thus contributing to a green solution and increasing the range. The ZBoard is the brainchild of Ben Forman and Geoff Larson from Intuitive Motion, based in Hermosa Beach, CA. ZBoard was actually launched as a kickstarter project with the aim of raising $10k, but ended up being pledged a total of $278,767.
I think that in itself speaks volumes about the belief that the backers had on the innovative concept behind the ZBoard.

Although they call this series 'Depressed Copywriter', but I found it to be satirical with strong sense of dark comedy.
Chris Sheldon, Mariana Oliveira, Whitney Ruef and Tedd Wood are four copywriters who have recently started a Tumblr blog where they post images of advertisements found in magazines or newspapers. These ads are humorously changed, with the intention of revealing the reality.
Again, you might find these metamorphosed advertisements to be a little depressing, but if you have a sense of humor, you will definitely appreciate their wit.

Simple to execute and with a low financial barrier to entry, email marketing has such an impressive reach because everyone's got email. Most likely, customers have multiple email addresses--and they share email content socially. No matter what your line of business, there are benefits to integrating email into your marketing toolkit. If your business only needs a simple campaign, you can get things up and running without any outside help, but for an elaborate campaign, ongoing sales push or e-marketing strategy, consider hiring an email marketing agency to get the marketing started on the right track.

What appeared first in 1939, during World War ll was just a Keep Calm And Carry On, propaganda poster. It was just an attempt to create public awareness and boost the morale of British civilians who were under constant threat of a Nazi invasion.
What amazes me is that the parodies of the poster has become a trend on the internet and being sold across different channels. People are using them for different purposes like to send out political messages, to speak their mind out, support their favourite artists and what not.
I am sharing with you some of my favourite Keep Calm And Carry On inspired products and parodies. Happy viewing!

A little while back we'd shared an interesting series of posters that tease you with subtle hints so that you can guess a popular TV show. And today we bring you another guessing game where you have to see the invisible.
Think Invisible is a project created by Adri Bodor and Mark Szulyovszky who have playfully created an illusion of contours that intentionally displays important details and rest you have to guess.
"How can you see anything that isn't there actually? It is the core question of Think Invisible" shares their Tumblr Blog. "It's not magic that lets you recognize the whole design, but your mind. This tricky illusion of the contours intentionally shows important details and hides the rest, Since what matters is invisible."
So have a look at 25 Think Invisible posters below, and see how many you can guess. And do remember to share your score with us in the comment section below:
