...other differences among us are determinants of our productivity. The reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that it is not necessarily you work for long hours to increase your productivity. You just get more tired and can even contribute to lower outcomes. The best thing is to find your appropriate and active hours and stick to them. Your body will learn and adapt completely to the golden hours and as a result, the output will be more, and the individual will ever be energetic when doing the daily duties. The humorist; Erma Bomebeck said that we should never seek assistance from the doctor whose office plants are already dead. The same applies to our workplaces. We should not work without a sort of greenery at our desk or cubicle. In simple terms, the greenery should be somewhere close to our vicinity. The plants have psychological and physical benefits, and they help in boosting the productivity in the office. The biology of the plants is that they assist in air circulation creating a stimulating environment by refreshing the air we breathe thus keeping us more active. Also, during the respiration, the plants releases some moisture into the surrounding (air) creating a calm environment that is more comfortable to work in. As well, plants play a significant role in reducing distracting noises coming from the surrounding thus act as a stress reliever. We are all aware that when under stress, our performances decreases and...

Waterfalls roar, spraying their cool mist into the air. In the winter, people ski down the snow covered mountains to the resort below. Telluride is a prime vacation spot due to its scenery, activities, and location. Mountains rise immediately on the left and right of Telluride. Behind the city, the mountains slowly come together; in the front they open up into a larger valley. Conifer trees cover the mountainsides in lush, vibrant greens. Waterfalls of freshly unfrozen water roar as they crash into the rocks beneath. Streams of cold, clear water fed by these waterfalls snake down the mountainside. This landscape changes drastically. In the winter the landscape changes immensely. The waterfalls lose their roar as the snow that once fueled them freezes over. Without the waterfalls to feed them, the rushing water of the streams dries...

Add-a-Land exports mass amounts of their fresh grown fruits and vegetables from Pop-a-Tom’s farmland. It imports motorized vehicles and lawn mowers. The beaches by the Golf are enjoyed by Add-a-Lites frequently, whether it is to tan and relax in the sugar like sand, listen to the waves crash upon the shore, or to splash and wade around in cool refreshing water.

...Given the small land size of Singapore, what are the main urban obstacles facing the citizens? It is because of Singapore’s small land size that we’ve had to reconcile liveability, environmental sustainability, and economic competitiveness more so than many other cities, even as urban density increases with population growth. As a city-state, Singapore has limited resources. The scarcity of land has been and will continue to be a challenge we face, both for our citizens and the government. The small land area is related to other urban challenges such as traffic congestion and maintaining a liveable environment with adequate greenery and a sense of space. The challenge of balancing economic and population growth with liveability and sustainability is multi-faceted. Besides policy and technology innovations, the key is for all stakeholders to work together – government, businesses and the people to engage in positive interactions and collaborate on all fronts in order to overcome the urban obstacles. As many cities globally face increasing urban density, Singapore’s experience in ensuring a liveable and sustainable environment in spite of our population density is very relevant. At the same time, Singapore has much to learn from other cities. This is why platforms such as the World Cities Summit play a crucial role in facilitating necessary sharing and learning. The World Cities Summit from June 1-4 will have more than 130 mayors and city leaders gathering in Singapore, along...

...“The Big Two-Hearted River: Part I”: The Trek to Life If only the past lit up as simply as a room illuminates at the flick of a switch. Yet the overwhelming darkness of a memory can never brighten; despairingly, a soldier’s worst nightmares overshadow his dreams and cloud his days. In Ernest Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River: Part I,” a wounded soldier returns home, scouring the wreckage of his life for sanity and spiritual restoration. The short story presents a journey through symbolism, metaphor, and imagery, pessimistically depicting the battles that a soldier faces after war’s mortars shatter his livelihood. In this story, Nick embarks on a journey to cope with the horrific memories that haunt his every thought and action. As he passes through the burned-over town of Seney to his ideal camping ground, Nick tries to forget about his nightmarish past through the distractions that nature flourishes. Charles Oliver reveals in Hemingway A to Z the tension tugging Nick’s thoughts back from present to past: “Nick is on the camping trip in order to not think about whatever it is that has traumatized him. . . . Nick is working hard to forget it so he can get his life back together” (26). As Nick treks alone through the forest, he allows nature to soothe his mind and body and guide him back to his roots, abandoning his concerns. Though the war has ended, and Nick survived, he feels as though his soul has already died. Nick’s trip satisfies his disposition as an avid camper...

...Christmas is a holiday celebrated by Romans. The first time the birth of Jesus Christ was ascribed to December 25 in the 4th century, according to the early Roman history. Early celebrations of Christmas are considered to have resulting from Roman and other European festivals that marked the ending of the harvest, and the beginning of winter solstice. Some traditions from those celebrations that have survived include decorating homes with greenery, giving presents, singing songs, and eating winter foods. There is a legend about St. Nicholas. Although a lot of his history is unconfirmed, he lived in the 4th century and is believed that he was a bishop. Many miracles ascribed to him are doubtful. Yet he was considered a patron saint in some countries. Children, sailors, and the poor also considered him a saint because he helped them. So to honor him, the Feast of Saint Nicholas was celebrated on December 6th and presents are given the night before. This tradition was well recognized by many countries by the 12th century. Eventually, Christmas Day and St. Nicholas’ Day were combined because they were so close together. St. Nicholas took on different characters in different countries. For example, The Netherlands have Sinter Klaas, Father Christmas gives gifts in Great Britain, Père Noël gives gifts in France, and in Germany St. Nicholas has had many names including Klaasbuur, Burklaas, Rauklas, Bullerklaas, and Sunnercla, although the name Father Christmas is becoming more...
