LOST? NO MORE: BLUETOOTH SNEAKERS



 Image result for bluetooth imagesImage result for getting lost imagesImage result for bluetooth imagesImage result for getting lost images



I HAVE MET MANY HIGHLY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WITH THE WORST SENSE OF DIRECTION, EXCEPT IT'S USUALLY WHILE DRIVING.

BUT WALKING?????

I GUESS PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING THEIR NEXT HOOKUP, DATE, CLUB, NAIL SALON, GYM OR REFRIGERATOR--LOL

INTRODUCING THE SHOE THAT TELLS YOU WHERE TO GO...


(The shoes and insoles will be available in September for around $100. They’re compatible with iPhones, Android and Windows phones. You can sign up to pre-order them now).

 "Technology never settles, guys. Now shoes are getting even smarter.

An Indian company called Lechal has created sneakers and insoles that pair with an app and Google Maps to help you get from place to place.

The shoe and insole are both connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

You input a destination on the app and then as you walk around, your left or right shoe vibrates to show you which way to turn.

You can either wear the sneakers, which come in red or black, or put the insoles in shoes you already have..."

 The shoes and insoles were originally designed to help blind people navigate, in conjunction with a cane.


As the company began to develop the shoes, it became clear that they could also have other uses.

For every pair of footwear sold, Lechal will subsidize another pair for someone who is visually impaired.

The shoes don’t just tell you where to go. They also serve as a pedometer and a calorie tracker.



REPEAT:            YOUR INSOLES ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR PHONE
                             YES THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT !
                              THEY REMIND ME OF THE JETSONS (in a good way)
                              OR STAR TREK...

DRINK WATER--NO HEART ATTACK


 Image result for heart & health imagesImage result for heart & health imagesImage result for heart & health imagesImage result for water images


(Thank you Alex Cantu & "HEALTH DIGEST")

Pass this on :
If each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

 I use to get upset about getting up so much during the night to pee. After reading this I'm glad I do. Between drinking lots of H2O at the gym & during the day & night I just guessed it was JUST the amount of my intake; however, there's a more scientific reason :

Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). 
 When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier.

 Answer from a Cardiac Doctor: 

 drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack



I REPEAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :

I knew you needed your minimum water intake to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Drinking water is great but there are crucial times to drink water...

Very important. from A Cardiac Specialist:


ALSO: 
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon.

When in doubt take 2---that's right 2 aspirins then:
Afterwards: - Call 911. 
Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" 
Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.
Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!


RELAX...

NO NEW REST STOP on the GSP NORTH IN BLOOMFIELD/POLICE BARRACKS?


 Image result for new police barracks bloomfield nj imagesImage result for new police barracks bloomfield nj images


 IT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT A MUCH NEEDED REST STOP BE BUILT WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY NORTH--BY EXIT 153--IN BLOOMFIELD, NJ.

THERE IS A THRIVING ONE THAT MIRRORS THIS LOCATION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE GSP. BY EXIT 150.

 A NEW REST AREA WOULD OFFER COMFORT FOR COMMUTERS (esp. those with children) THE LAST REST STOP IS WAY BACK IN UNION. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CLUE WHERE THE NEXT ONE IS-WTF?

  NOT ONLY DOES A REST STOP PROVIDE THE MUCH NEEDED BATHROOM FACILITIES FOR DRIVERS & THEIR FAMILIES, COFFEE AND A SHUT EYE FOR THOSE DRIVING TO STAY ALERT SHOULD ALSO BE AN INCENTIVE.

 THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN REVENUE FOR THE STATE OF NJ OR THE TRANSPORTATION DEPT. RELIEVING POTENTIAL TOLL HIKES (I know I'm an optimist).

This is from northjersey.com (by Jeff Frankel):

" Bloomfield officials said they were not notified about a planned $12.3 million New Jersey State Police barracks along the Garden State Parkway in town. It will be an upgrade to current State Police facilities.

Township Administrator Ted Ehrenburg told the Township Council on Monday that Town Hall received calls from Lindbergh Boulevard residents, whose backyards abut the Parkway.

Residents within 200 feet of the project were given notice. The state-sanctioned construction does not require Bloomfield Planning Board approval. 

Ehrenburg said the state could have notified Bloomfield as a courtesy.
"There was no communication with this township," he said. "We're their good neighbor. We want them to be our good neighbor."

Construction is slated to begin in "early 2013," on the northbound side, according to a notice from the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which oversees the Parkway. Work is expected to be completed by May 2014, according to the agency.

Ed Brasseur, a Lindbergh Boulevard homeowner, said he understands the barracks' importance, but is worried about the noise and vibration from the proposed helipad on the property.
The existing station is 60-years-old and needs to be replaced. The new one-story building will be 15,500 square feet, and will include a gas pump island and new drainage system, in addition to the helipad..."
