to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future would be We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving The cities of the future would try to save our resources rather than deplete them An example of an advanced city is Kansas Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart

Health benefits of yoga Yoga is a healthy lifestyle One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc if you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you If you want to increase strength through using more of your own body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you Whether you prefer you’re at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a huge variety of options available to suit your
