He reads several papers, eats breakfast with his family and helps pack his daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, off to school before making the 30-second commute downstairs — a definite perk for a man trying to balance work and family life. He eats dinner with his family, then often returns to work; aides have seen him in the Oval Office as late as 10 p.m., reading briefing papers for the next day.

Nuremberg Restaurant Takes Dining to a Third Dimension
In Germany, the quality of service separates the good from the bad in the restaurant business. So what would happen if man-power was replaced by machines?
It sounds like an idea from another dimension but it’s actually a reality in the southern German city of Nuremberg.
A restaurant called s'Baggers has done away with wait-staff and replaced them with touch-screen computers and pinball-game style delivery methods.
We went to Nuremberg to taste-test the world’s most modern dining experience.

Kneeling is a basic human position where one or both knees touch the ground. It can be used:
- as a resting position
- as an expression of reverence and submission
- as a mark of respect
- during sexual intercourse
- during childbirth
- in conjunction with crawling in young children.
While kneeling, the angle between the legs can vary from zero to widely splayed out, flexibility permitting. It is common to kneel with one leg and squat with the other leg.[1]
Variations are possible as to which part of the toes touch the ground for a kneeling leg:
- the tip
- the under part
- the upper part.
While kneeling, the thighs and upper body can be at various angles in particular:
- Sitting kneel: where the thighs are near horizontal and the buttocks sit back on the heels with the upper body typically vertical – for example as in Seiza and Vajrasana
- Vertical kneel: where both the thighs and upper body are vertical – also known as "standing on one's knees".
