Zhuangzi was an ancient Chinese philosopher who championed freedom, natural living, and inner wisdom over forced rules and external rewards. When a carrot or a stick is needed to make a person act, the inner desire to do the task has already been lost.“Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education,” wrote the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi.This idea challenges the way institutions teach and control people. Modern education systems often depend on external controls: grades, test rankings, detention, honor rolls and the fear of failure. Zhuangzi’s statement suggests that depending on these tools is not real education, but a…

Optical illusions have a funny way of tricking our brains and eyes into believing what they see first, based on their perception. They are one of those cleverly designed images that compel us to tilt our heads and wonder why our friends claim to see something completely different from what we saw.The brain doesn’t actually look at a confusing image with a blank slate.

In 1987, Orlando put 1,200 acres of constructed wetlands to work cleaning reclaimed water. Today, the system treats about 5.11 billion gallons of water each year.However, keeping this large natural filtration system working efficiently requires regular land management. As aquatic plants grow, absorb extra nitrogen and phosphorus, and eventually die and decay, a thick layer of organic muck slowly builds up on the bottom of the marsh. When this sediment becomes too thick, it can slow water flow and cause stored nutrients to return to the water. This makes periodic earthmoving work necessary to keep the system working properly.According to…
