My neighbors of over twenty years passed away but they were tenents from hell. His home was bought by a young couple. They worked for months updating the house. I had started a speaking acquaintance with them and was let to know that they intended to rent the home once updated. I cautioned them about renting to people who might not care about leaving the property as they found it. My cautions fell on deaf ears. Soon a boisterous, loud, intimidating family moved in.

One of the world landmarks that symbolizes Washington DC in the minds of those who do not life there is the Washington Monument. Situated on the grassy Mall within sight of the White House and the US Capitol, this white marble obelisk gleams in sunlight during the day and is illuminated at night.

The one landmark that brings to mind the American capitol is not one of the buildings where the business of government is accomplished but rather that simple white finger of stone.

There are two ways of seeing the world, as an isolationist or as a cosmopolitan. If one is an isolationist, one is determined that there is nothing beyond his native land that he needs to see. If one is a cosmopolitan, one sees the world as connected and necessary to know. The word “cosmopolitan” comes from the Greek. The “cosmo” in cosmopolitan means literally “world” in Greek. If one is a cosmopolitan, to travel the world is necessary as one can not think of not travelling the world. If one is an isolationist and by chance of luck must travel outside of his own land, one is morose, problematical and usually says when seeing the Eiffel Tower, “we have towers like that back home.” That might be amusing in itself. The cosmopolitan sees the world as his to enjoy and chooses his destinations to broaden his horizon.

Asia is a vast continent that stretches from the borders of Europe in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. The home of many cultures and three of the four cradles of civilization, Asia was the world’s wealthiest and most mysterious continent for much of recorded history.
Among European countries, knowledge of the western part of Asian cities was sparse until the campaigns of Alexander the Great opened the door to the continent. The eastern part of Asia remained almost entirely unknown until Marco Polo and later Dutch and Portuguese traders published accounts of their travels there.
During the 19th century, much of Asia, including India and China, was either colonized or brought into the sphere of influence of one or more European powers. Today, with its huge population and extremely low wages, Asia is making rapid gains in GDP, although it continues to lag in terms of prosperity.

Rivers are fresh water sources that run across the surface of land and normally lead to the ocean. Rivers supply drinking water to many. The water that comes out of the faucet in your home either comes from a lake, a river or an underground well.
Considering a great portion of the water we enjoy for drinking, cleaning and showering comes from a river source, it is extremely important that each individual takes steps to reduce water pollution. Not only will reducing pollution insure that there is clean, fresh water available to drink, but also that the wildlife that calls a river home is also protected from manmade waste.
Rivers are a source of life. Please protect the water source that so many people in your area depend on by not polluting and by spreading the word to others and increase life on the river.
