Reasons Why Your Next Present Should Be A Gift Card
Some people may say that gift cards are impersonal or lacking the much sought-after thought behind a gift. However, if you think about it, it is the perfect gift. We do not always know the size, favorite color or personal taste of the person who is receiving the gift. Say you have received an invite to a new co-worker’s Christmas party. What could you bring as a gift without knowing what others have brought, only associating with her for a week and not knowing what her likes or dislikes are? Yes, of course that one present that you cannot go wrong getting a gift card!

Cornwall, 1864. A hot spring is discovered nearly 450m (1,485ft) below ground in the Wheal Clifford, a copper mine just outside the mining town of Redruth. Glass bottles are immersed to their necks in its bubbling waters, carefully sealed and sent off for testing.

Why some bike shares work and others don't
set of iconic photos from 2017 show brightly coloured fields which, at first glance, look like meadows filled with flowers in full bloom. It takes a while to register that the images aren't of verdant fields, but ones filled with bicycles: hundreds and thousands of two-wheelers, stacked end-to-end in what came to be called China's bicycle graveyards.

The city of sustainable skyscrapers
Looking out over Hong Kong's iconic skyline from the viewing deck of its tallest skyscraper, the 118-storey International Commerce Centre (ICC), it's clear why Hong Kong is known as the world's most vertical city.
