Who would’ve known Winston Churchill’s sleep habits were actually more similar to the public than Ben Franklin’s. It’s true though. Churchill was a huge advocate for naps. Like many old and young alike, napping seems essential to everyday life.
It does seem like a lot of our world leaders don’t get much sleep at night. Five hours looks like the most normal time anyone can get.
Whether for vacation or business, traveling to foreign places means there’s going to be a change in culture, sometimes drastically. Hand signals can mean different things, clothing must be worn in certain ways, and sarcasm may be obsolete. Along with the change in culture comes a change in the actual laws of the foreign land.
If you deal with PDFs on a regular basis, you know how annoying it can be when the format isn’t up to your specs. Editing PDFs seems like a dream come true, that’s why you need to get a PDF editor. My favorite aspect of PDF editors is that they are magic. Okay, maybe not magic, but close enough. One of the best features of these editors is their ability to create a digital copy from a hard copy. Yup, scan in your physical piece of paper, and on your screen pops a fully-editable digital copy. See, that really is magic.
Most small businesses in America start with less than $10,000. This usually comes from the founder’s own savings account. Starting a small business is a big risk for some, putting everything on the line to reach for their dreams. A lot of businesses start from a hobby. Woodworkers, bakers, website design and plenty of other craftspeople and creatives never had formal training. One day, a friend of theirs said, “Hey, that’s amazing, you should do this full time!” Although it is true that most businesses fail, it is much better to give it a go.
With the conclusion of the 57th annual Grammy Awards last weekend, 2014’s musical year is officially at its conclusion. New artists like Sam Smith emerged on the scene, and exposed the music business’s inherently murky nature after the 22-year-old pop singer was sued by Tom Petty for similarities between his Grammy Award-winning single, “Stay With Me” and Petty’s vintage classic, “Won’t Back Down.” Singer-songwriter and producer Beck shocked the world (well really, just Kanye West’s world) after beating out Beyonce for Album of Year with his 12th studio album, Morning Phase.
Boom! Right off the bat, the Japanese have shown us being rude isn’t to be tolerated. I have a feeling a lot of you haven’t been splashed by a passerby while you wait for the bus or ride your bike to work, but I have. Puddles are nasty. Filled with toxins, run-off and God knows what. The thing about being a drive-by splash victim is that the drenching isn’t the worst part of the day. First off, it is a crappy day outside. The rain is pelting, the wind is like daggers, the air is dry and cracks the skin. The bus is late and you see this jacked-up F150 barreling down the road, and right behind it is your bus.
