Also, if it is snowing or too cold to take my moped and I have to drive, finding…

Kausik Datta wrote “that his wish for every Non-Scientist is to understand the use of the Scientific Method, and how it is the foundation for…

Success is a personal journey. It looks different for each person. It is more than money, professional titles, or higher education degrees. Planning a life of success is about mapping out the aspects of your life. It is a holistic approach to success that includes mind, body and spirit. (Even if you are a corporate junkie you need this balance.) Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route. Origin: Who you are A…

Introduction John Steinbeck said that writing Travels with Charley in Search of America was like writing a novel (p.20). At the end of a long life writing about America, he felt he was writing about something he did not know about.

This book, originally published in 1962, is a self-portrait and memoir of John Steinbeck. It describes the worries of Steinbeck about…

I have seen that recently over a couple of years that people feel angered by SEPTA. I think the anger comes from the delays, the detours, the wait time and the physical condition of the buses and trains. The buses are old and do not run very fast at times. The condition of the interior of the bus is questionable with seats being dirty and stained. Sometime there are delays that…
