Traveled

When I traveled to Spain to visit my uncles, I remember the flight had a lot of turbulence. At first, when we departed, it was raining but it wasn't heavy until eventually it became heavier. We had been praying by the time the plane started shaking very strongly. Then, as I was tired, I had slept a bit when the pilot told us we had to change planes. He had been flying for two hours and everything was on fire. The pilot said that due to the storm, the engine had been hit very strongly and overheated, so we had to land in Portugal.

Technology Improves Efficiency

Businesses that embrace technology often gain a competitive advantage by improving efficiency. Consider a bakery using technology:

• Pro: Automating the production line and installing temperature sensors and cooling facilities can ensure quality products are delivered on time. Sensors can be programmed to alert operators to temperature changes, saving time and reducing risks.

Technology Increases ROI

As expected, the preferences towards technological availability were there, with particular notation on connectability for their wireless devices and smartphones from virtually any location. This fact was exemplified with online check-in and –out from literally anywhere they are, including the airport baggage claim on their way to the hotel, as well as connectivity from the beach lounge chairs to peruse the hotel restaurant’s menu and booking their lunch reservations.To sum...

Mr. Know-All

W. Somerset Maugham (1874 – 1965)

Literal Comprehension

When the First World War ended, the writer Somerset Maugham decided to travel to Japan from America by ship. It was very difficult to get a good seat on the ship, but he managed to secure a cabin seat. His cabin partner, Max Kelada, was very talkative. At first, the writer thought that he was a Negro, but later he came to know that he was also an Englishman. However, he hated his chatty nature.
