Love Your Sex Life


Touch him as much as possible. Place a gentle hand on his shoulder or thigh when you're talking to him, rumple his hair or pat his butt when passing by him, hold his hand when walking together, squeeze your thigh against his when sitting together at your child's practice, straighten his shirt before he walks out the door, knead his neck when he's driving. Remember, action speaks louder than words. You can tell someone you love them and are proud to be with them dozens of times and it won't get the message across nearly as quickly as giving his hand a kiss when he leaves for work or sneaking up behind him and hugging him. It's these little gestures that reinforce your oneness.

Make your surroundings a little more sensual.  Don't wait for special occasions to dim the lighting with candles or perfume the air with sexy-scented incense such as jasmine or vanilla.

Ask him to slowly and gently brush your hair. It's such a simple move, yet it both relaxes and stimulates you while making you feel totally pampered. Ask him to take his time, stroking you from root to end, section by section, until your tresses feel smooth and silky.

Turn a hug into a surprise sensual neck and back massage and give your partner a blissful experience.

Put on a CD. Everyone knows that mood-setting music can put you in romance mode. But some sounds are more sensual than others. When you hear music with a strong bass beat, like reggae or Latin songs, you can feel the vibrations resonating through your lower body. And these vibrations are what make you feel aroused and get you itching to move in sexual ways.

Hand feed each other unusual fruits like kiwis, pomegranates, or star fruits. They're exotic, smell delicious, and feel sexy in the mouth. Slices of mango are also a good sensual choice with a bonus: You get to lick the juices off each other's fingers.

In bed at night, make sure to touch at least one part of his body, even if you don't go for full-tilt spooning.

Throw away your TV Guide. Instead of going on autopilot with the remote, pledge to have a "No TV Night" once a week. Then fill the time reconnecting by conversing, cuddling, and kissing.

Start sleeping in the nude. If you're usually a head-to-toe flannel woman, take it in small steps: a tank and shorts, then just a tee, and so on until you're completely nude. Once you get over the nakedness of it, the feeling of having nothing on is actually powerful and potent — and may even lead to sexier dreams, not to mention a more tantalizing night-time cuddle...or more.

What is intellectual Property Rights?

Intellectual property (IP) is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind for which property rights are recognized—and the corresponding fields of law. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs – Wikepedia

Daily, new things or gadgets are invented that is from day one a sure hit under consumers. Money is rolling in for the inventors and they do not know the end of their wealth. Inventions are with us for many centuries and even today, some of the inventions of the Industrial Revolution are still being manufactured and used. Then there are also the dreamers who are constantly dreaming of hitting the Big Times with one or the other invention. But, alas, it will stay a dream.

The secret of inventing something is that an invention or design must be protected with a patent or by other legal means. In short, it boils down to Intellectual Property Rights.

Let’s discuss the so-called four pillars of Intellectual Property Rights.

Patent

A patent gives an inventor the right, for a limited period, to bar others from copying the idea of the inventor without his explicit permission. Patents generally relate to products, processes, mechanisms and materials that contain new functional or technical aspects.

The entire process of registering a patent can be costly and complex, especially the research that must be conducted to ensure that a similar invention has not been patented already. There are registered patent agents who are qualified to handle the registering of patents correctly.

Registered Design

‘Registered design’ refers to the external appearance of an article or object of manufacture. To qualify for registering a design it must have significant eye appeal, be new and not be excluded – for example a work of sculpture would be excluded. A patent agent will also be able to assist and be able to assist with the list of exclusions.

Trademark

A trademark relates to words, logos, or three dimensional shapes that can distinguish the products or services of a particular business entity and can be represented graphically.  Trademarks provide protection for the goodwill and reputation of a business entity.

Copyright

Copyright refers to original literacy, dramatic, musical and artistic works, films, sound recordings, computer programs and material on the internet. Here registration is not a prerequisite to receive protection of copyright. The main thing is the owner must have proof of ownership – usually date of origination. Many people use the international symbol for copyright © with the date it was first created.

Anyone who wishes to apply for a patent or registered design must be very careful – acquire the services of a patent agent or lawyer before publicly disclosing an invention or design as such disclosure automatically forfeits a person’s protection.

Statistics have shown that that only a small percentage of patented inventions are by private individuals, the remainder being filed by companies and government research departments. Further, of every ten patented new product ideas, one is likely to go into production – Peter Hingston; England.
