Artists have depicted this in many ways; Henry James’ The Beast in the Jungle and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot are two masterpieces that discuss the importance of making the most of one’s time on Earth.

When surface water is heated, it gains energy and changes from liquid state to gaseous state. This results in a cooling effect to the surrounding region (Arctic Climatology and Meteorology) Transpiration also contributes in adding water vapor in the atmosphere; this is referred ...

They affect the muscles, liver, skin, reproductive organs, blood vessels, hair and bone.

Tennessee Williams’ play Orpheus Descending is a modern retelling of the well known Greek legend of Orpheus, who goes deep into the Underworld for his beloved Eurydice, to save her from the clutches of death. In the same manner, Williams portrays characters in a conventional Southern community, marred by issues such as conformity to traditionalism, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge and respect those who are different. Thus, these outcasts who are of an unacceptable sexual, religious or racial affiliation are treated as lepers, not even knowing why they are unworthy of basic human rights. All of this forces them to create social ...

Introduction

The origin of this principle is from an Italian by name of Vilfredo Pareto. In 1906 he realized the unfair distribution of wealth in America and that’s when he came up with the formula that 20% of the people owned 80%of the wealth. Later a Dr Joseph Juran would apply the same principle to demonstrate that 20% are vital while 80% are trivial. His observation summarized as vital few, trivial many. This was called Paretos principal of 80/20 rule (Ng, Yew-Kwang, 1983).
