Research presented at the American Psychological Association suggests that a messy desk is a sign of creativity, and doesn’t necessarily impact productivity. On the other hand, for some, messiness on the outside is representative of what’s going on on the inside. The truth is organization isn’t about neat piles and a label for everything. It’s about setting up your office in a way that allows for productivity and doesn’t hinder work, whether that means a messy or clean desk....

When Pink Floyd reunited for a performance at Live 8 in 2005, dormant hopes for a more extensive reunion awoke with a vengeance. At various times since, band members have both encouraged and discouraged such hopes.

With the death of keyboardist Rick Wright, reunion hopes are fading again. But if we’ve learned anything from the band’s history, it is to refrain from taking anything for granted....

The carb depletion bodybuilding pre-contest routine is designed to assist the carbohydrate depletion process that competitive bodybuilders undergo a week before a contest. Typically, if a bodybuilding contest is on Saturday, you might want to start depleting your body of carbohydrates seven days before a Saturday show (so that means that you start on the Friday that comes before the Friday prior to the event).

Being an entrepreneur not only requires a business idea but also relies on raising capital. Realistically, no business can be started or expanded without cash flow. Small business owners often have financial difficulties that make most of them give up on what would have been a global changing idea. There are many financial institutions nowadays ready to finance brilliant entrepreneurial ideas but you can only get the financial backing if you represent yourself as a solid business package....

In the 1940s and 1950s, no serious hot rod was complete without a set of fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror. Today, fuzzy dice are a symbol of retro flair or amusing schlock. Believe it or not, there is history and symbolism behind those innocuous-looking fuzzy cubes. World War II The common lore says that fuzzy dice spring from a pilots’ superstition in World War II. Before taking off for a sortie, pilots would put a pair of dice on their instrument panel, with seven pips showing, for good luck....

Since 2014, the Department of Defense has changed its medical qualification standards for recruits with cases of childhood asthma, or a history of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The problems faced by the recycling industry and policymakers, and the issues with recycling, became more obvious as scrap prices fell in recent years. Just about everything said about recycling is wrong, according to Michael C. Munger in “Recycling: Can It Be Wrong, When It Feels So Right?” He is not taking aim at the value of recycling to recover valuable resources. Rather, his focus is on overly simplistic economic thinking when it comes to recycling and solid waste management....

George Burns (born Nathan Birnbaum; January 20, 1896 - March 9, 1996) was one of a select few performers who found success both on the vaudeville stage and on screen. With his wife and collaborator Grace Allen, he developed a trademark straight man style, playing the foil to Allen’s comedic “illogic logic” persona. Burns set a new standard for older performers when he won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at age 80....
