Do you happen to live in a fast-paced city, where you feel in a constant hurry? A recent poll of over 1,000 Americans found that nearly half felt they lacked enough time in daily life. ‘Time famine’ — the feeling of having too much to do and not enough time to do it — is the eause of unnecessary stress and reduced performance. We all tend to rush when we have so many things to do, and that negatively affects our performance. Doing things quickly actually ends up slowing you down, such as when you rush out of your house only to realize you forgot your keys, phone, or wallet on the kitchen table. Driving faster will not get you to your destination any sooner. Assuming that by doing things faster you will get more done isa trap. 2I0l Ge ME A) Popular prejudice offers a black-and-white picture of the brain versus body paradigm. We are often told that exercise develops the body while reading, writing, and thinking are meant to develop the brain. This is a flawed perception.

Moder anthropologists who have spent time with surviving hunter-gatherer groups report that gathering food only accounts for a small proportion of their time — far less than would be required to produce the same quantity of food via farming.

To want to spare children from having to go through unpleasant experiences is a noble aim, and it naturally stems from love and concern for the child. What these parents don’t realize, however, is that while in the short term they may be making the lives of their children more pleasant, in the long, term they may be preventing their children from acquiring self-confidence, mental strength, and important interpersonal skills. Samuel Smiles, a nineteenth-century English author, wrote, “It is doubtful whether any heavier curse could be forced on man than the complete gratification of all his wishes without effort on his part, leaving nothing for his hopes, desires, or struggles.” For healthy development, the child needs to deal with some failure, struggle through some difficult periods, and experience some painful emotions. eration: © benefits of traditional child-rearing practices @® critical factors in children’s physical development @ importance of parental emotional support for children, .ecessity of parents letting their child experience difficulties © differences between the parents’ and child’s points of Ityou've ever visited a fortune-teller you probably came away amazed at the things they knew about you — things no one else could possibly have known.

Humans are omnivorous, meaning that they can consume and digest a wide selection of plants and animals found in their surroundings. The primary advantage to this is that they can adapt to nearly all earthly environments. The disadvantage is that no single food provides the nutrition necessary for survival.

If you're an expert, having a high follower count on your social media accounts enhances all the work you are doing in real life. A great example is a comedian. She spends hours each day working on her skill, but she keeps being asked about her Instagram following. This is because businesses are always looking for easier and cheaper ways to market their products. A comedian with 100,000 followers can promote her upcoming show and increase the chances that people will buy tickets to come see her. This reduces the amount of money the comedy club has to spend on promoting the show and makes the management more likely to choose her over another comedian. Plenty of people are upset that follower count seems to be more important than talent, but it's really about firing on all cylinders, In today’s version of show business, the business part is happening online.

Arcata, California, for instance, needed an expensive sewer plant upgrade. Instead, the city transformed a 65 hectare garbage dump into a series of ponds and marshes that serve as a simple, low-cost, waste treatment facility. Arcata saved millions of dollars and improved its environment simultaneously. The marsh is a home for wildlife and has become a prized recreation area forthe city. Eventually, the purified water from the artificial wetlands flows into Humboldt Bay, where marine life flourishes. Constructed marshes allow industrial cooling water to become clean before entering streams or other surface water bodies.
