Neat, well-organized home and work spaces really do improve your health and happiness. And here’s how: Stress Reduction Spaces free of visual clutter & congestion free the mind of clutter and congestion. The mind is free to rest, be at peace or focus on fun, interesting hobbies and projects!! Increased control and order in one’s life/environment tends to lessen one’s stress; it sets you free……of stress!! Living and working in home/work environments that are.. “You”.. Living and working in spaces that reflect who you are & what’s important to you are huge factors in promoting good health and happiness! IMPROVED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS (CONT.)!!!! Increased time to do other, preferred things Having more time to do things one wants to do is important to foster better health and happiness. For example, having time for fitness or recreational activities; reading books; taking a class to learn a new skill; taking the time to eat better; or just doing nothing at all can engender a lot of good health and happiness! Well organized spaces & an effective system to maintain and keep them that way will improve personal efficiency. It’s logical to expect that this too will help increase your time to do the things that...

...Private experience with learning at university including time and space management. How did the time management theory help me with learning. Time and space management are very important matters to almost all people, who like to have their life organized. They are crucial while studying, doing projects or another types of work where the time given is strictly limited. When it comes to my private experience considering learning at the university, it is positive. First of all, and the most important for me, there are no gaps in the schedule, so I do not waste my time while waiting for classes. Second, if a gap somehow occurs, there is a great library, where many interesting books can be found, moreover, there are separate rooms for individual or group work there. On the university we can find many places, where we can chat and also discuss with friends our class projects. One of the most important matters for students are professors’ office hours, moreover it is great to know that they are always willing to help. Theories about time management presented in class made me more aware of how to plan my time efficiently. I realized how much time, just slipped through my fingers. I decided to buy a large calendar and hang it in a visible place in the apartment. I started planning all things at least a week ahead and writing them down on the calendar first, and it worked great. Now, I never check my email in the morning, as a matter of fact, I try not to check it before...

...Use of Space & Layout The most fundamental planning for a hotel involves the guestrooms—not only do they account for the bulk of space within a hotel, but a large measure of the hotel experience is in the guestroom. Developing an efficient and effective design of these areas is critical for your initial development budget, but this is also a key to long-term guest satisfaction and operating efficiency. Planning guestrooms requires careful consideration of the activities that will happen within the room. It is important that you match the bedroom mix to the market and the marketing plan, as the type of bed configuration has a major impact on guest satisfaction. In our hotel guest rooms, a combination of carpet and wood would be appropriate, with tile floors specifically black marble tiles reserved for the bathroom. Rooms will be designed in such a way that spaces will feel far bigger than it actually is which will allow for comfort and at the same time provides a creative design for guests to enjoy. When designing a hotel, the hotel must balance functional, layout and aesthetics issues to develop a property that simultaneously meets the needs of the guests, the staff and the owner. Our property that will be heavily design oriented will include functional aspects carefully integrated to enhance, yet not dominate the space. The hotel will be designed in a way so as to inspire, ensure safety, promote efficiency, is cost effective and at the same time it helps to maintain...

...INTRODUCTION WORKSHOP LEADER’S TOPIC INFORMATION INTRODUCTION TO FORCES & MOTION An understanding of force and motion is fundamental to the study of almost all other physics-related topics. Yet it is a topic often overlooked or only cursorily introduced in elementary and middle school science, even though it is a topic typically identified for inclusion in the curriculum for these grades. A primary reason for this is that many teachers do not feel comfortable about their own understanding of the topic. Consequently, this may be the most needed of all of the OPERATION PHYSICS workshops. This workshop leader’s notebook is divided into two parts: PART ONE Motion Part One begins by introducing participants to the concepts of space and time. These concepts are then used in describing simple types of motion. These motions are then classified as accelerated and not accelerated (constant velocity). Emphasis is placed on distinguishing between speed and velocity, between average and instantaneous values and on accelerated motion. This section should not be skipped, for it develops ideas necessary to the understanding of other ideas...

In architectures implementation of a heteronormative social construct I wish to explore the capacity for the residual space, public realm to push back. Architecture, as the design of human activity and not simply a function and form has been able to contribute to the creation of safe space and I will be attempting this exploration by looking into how it has underwritten ideas of masculinity in hip-hop culture. I am doing so through visuals to see if and how over the years, environments for expression have offered...

...A Briefer history of Time Steven hawking with Leonard Mlodinow Bantam Books (2005) Pages 1-60 A Briefer History of Time is a book aimed at explaining our universe It was written by Steven Hawking, and as the title suggests is a 'briefer' version of the original book. Steven hawking is incredibly famous for his contributions to the world of physics, this was all achieved while constantly battling a motor neurone disease. His first book a brief history of time was incredibly successful but many people found it to be too complex and some key concepts were hard to understand, Thus this version was released. Its aim is to make the difficult scientific theory's more accessible to the general public. The book is an attempt to explain everything we know, or think we know about the universe and cosmology. The first few chapters of the book are aimed at explaining the basics of physics and how it has progressed over time, It goes on to talk about Newton's laws and explain what a scientific theory is. This is a great move by the authors because it helps to explain the complex material by first going through the foundations of physics, this in turn makes the book far more accessible to the public . This is perfect as the book is aimed at ordinary people with an interest in science. The language used in the book is fairly technical but has been simplified to make the book easier to understand, this has been done well because...

...grow and change 3. a nonpaternalistic approach to helping a person gain more self-knowledge, self-control, and self-healing, regardless of the presenting health-illness condition. ASSUMPTIONS deal with human life, nursing science, and the process of nursing. Watson's conception of human life is tied to notions that one's soul possesses a body that is not confined by objective space and time. The lived world of the experiencing person is not distinguished by external and internal notions of time and space, but shapes its own time and space, which is unconstrained by linearity. Nursing is a human science of persons and human health-illness experiences that are mediated by professional, personal, scientific, esthetic, and ethical human care transactions. The process of nursing is human care. THE THEORY OF HUMAN CARING The main concept of the theory is TRANSPERSONAL HUMAN CARING, which is best understood within the concepts of three ancillary concepts: LIFE, ILLNESS, and HEALTH. HUMAN LIFE is defined as spiritual-mental-physical being-in-the-world, which is continuous in time and space. ILLNESS is not necessarily disease. Illness is subjective turmoil or disharmony with a person's inner self or soul at some level or disharmony within the spheres of the person, either consciously or unconsciously. HEALTH refers to...

...The Effect of Time and Temperature on Storage of Fresh Pechay I.Introduction A. Objectives The study is performed to discuss the effect of time and temperature on the storage of fresh pechay. It is also done to explain the difference of low and high temperature on the storage fresh pechay. Lastly, to explain other factors related to time and temperature that may affect the storage. Through conducting this study, the proper storage conditions of food items will be determined. B. Significance of the Study The study aims to show the effect of time and temperature in the storage of fresh pechay. This will determine whether the fresh pechay will react positively or negatively towards the conditions of its storage. This study will be using two set-ups which will be observed three times. One of the set-ups will be placed in a place with room temperature only, around 30º C. The other set-up will be placed inside the refrigerator, about 48º F. The effectivity of the two different set-ups will be indicated by the resulting qualities of the pechay bunches. This will be helpful in determining the proper storage techniques that will maintain the physical and nutritional qualities of food items. This experiment is done in the Bio-assay Laboratory, Institute of Human Nutrition and Food, College of Human Ecology, UPLB. II.Review of Literature Pechay, scientifically known as Brassica rapa chinensis, is considered as one of the popular vegetables here in the Philippines...

...been discussed by a variety of scholarly voices. Among the most prominent is Michel Foucault, who described the various ways that consumer markets circumscribe public spaces, placing important distinctions between class members. In particular, Foucault discusses heterotopia – the public space which carries both physical and psychological gravity. For Foucault, public spaces are characterized by existing without truly existing. The heterotopia serves as a metaphor for a larger context while having the appearance and characteristics of other everyday spaces. Tyndall takes this notion a step further by developing social rules that are attached to consumer places, such as malls and shopping districts (Tyndall, 2009). This version of consumer-driven rules – culled from qualitative research and personal interviews – depicts a new notion of public-ness that is less egalitarian than ever before. It is a version of public space that is not entirely open to the public. Baker adds to this perspective by historicizing the commercialization of public space, dating the use widespread use of public space for advertising purposes to before the dawn of the 20th century (Baker, 2007). This argument inextricably links the notion of “culture” with “consumerism”, and sets the stage for the potential for access to public spaces to be consumed, or purchased. Finally, Klingle underscores this spatial history of consumption, placing the transaction of consumer power contexts as diverse as Thoreau’s...

...In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number ofcoordinates needed to specify any point within it.[1][2] Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it (for example, the point at 5 on a number line). A surface such as a plane or the surface of acylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it (for example, to locate a point on the surface of a sphere you need both its latitude and its longitude). The inside of a cube, a cylinder or a sphere is three-dimensional because three coordinates are needed to locate a point within these spaces. In physical terms, dimension refers to the constituent structure of all space (cf. volume) and its position in time (perceived as a scalar dimension along the t-axis), as well as the spatial constitution of objects within—structures that correlate with both particle and field conceptions, interact according to relative properties of mass—and are fundamentally mathematical in description. These, or other axes, may be referenced to uniquely identify a point or structure in its attitude and relationship to other objects and occurrences. Physical theories that incorporate time, such as general relativity, are said to work in 4-dimensional "spacetime", (defined as a Minkowski space). Modern theories tend to be "higher-dimensional" including quantum field and string theories. The state-space of quantum mechanics is...

...theoretically, “all bodies not changing position with respect to a specific observer is stationary in the frame of reference attached with the observer.”(Singhil) Hermann von Helmholtz stated, “A moving body whose motion was not retarded by any resisting force would continue to move to all eternity.”(Brainy) Helmholtz means that every single thing on earth is always constantly moving. What is motion; it is a state which indicates change of position. Motion of a body refers to the time given in a frame of reference. A frame of a reference is a method to describe space from the perception of an observer. In other words, it is a system of measurement for locating positions of the bodies in space with reverence to a viewer. These terms “reference” and “observer” are used to explain and describe motion. A frame of reference is a mathematical construct that specifies the location of a point of an object in space. The frame of reference is a coordinate system. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, it comprises of three perpendicular axes. Observation of motion is considered a human endeavor, but the motion of an object would be considered both human and non-human things, such as clouds, rivers, moon, and mountains. There are also three different types of motions real time motion,...
