Love: Beyond Romance and Sacrificial Love
When you finally get fed up with all this nonsense about romance and sacrificial love, you will understand that love ends where suffering, tears, and sleepless nights begin, not where it begins.

The Impact of Indifference on Human Connections
The less people talk to each other, the more they become strangers. The gap is not created immediately. Warm greetings such as 'hello, how are you?', 'tell me what's new with you', 'are you doing well?' are gradually fading away from your conversations. Indifference destroys human connections. It renders heartfelt conversations unnecessary. Indifference distances loved ones, making them strangers with nothing more to say when they meet...

Learn to praise yourself
For example, in a situation when you refuse someone who is trying to take advantage of you or manipulate you. Be proud of yourself when you stand up for your values, when you can prioritize your time and resources over the audacity of others. Just try saying a firm 'no' once and see that it's actually not difficult at all. And then, go with the flow.

The First Battery-Free Electric Bicycle: Pi-Pop
French entrepreneur Adrien Lelievre, the director of STEE Company, has developed and patented an electric bicycle called Pi-Pop, which utilizes supercapacitors instead of lithium batteries. Supercapacitors can rapidly store and release energy when needed. In the case of the bicycle, this means storing energy when the rider pedals or brakes and using it for more demanding actions such as uphill riding. Supercapacitors accumulate energy through an electrostatic method, whereas lithium batteries store energy through a chemical reaction.
