Postman in USA

3 comments

Being the postman in the USA is very tiring. This job needs too much energy and power. Generally, a postman must bring the letters, magazines, catalogs, and other goods to a lot of directional homes in their region directly. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people don’t have mailboxes in front of their home. If they have no mail boxes, they usually ask the postman to put the letters or magazines on the door’s hole. Some people also locate the mailbox in the backyard and hidden place (just the home owner and the postman who knows this location). Every house generally gets a lot of delivery. If one house can get a bunch of letters plus two magazines plus promotion brochure plus one delivery package, you can imagine how hard the postman job is. Moreover, the postman must deliver the letters, packages, magazines to the thousands houses in one day. Those burdens still will be added by delivery deadline time.

They have to pass through far direction by foot on the determined time. America climate (when the dry season is coming) is very dry and hot. This season is different with Indonesia. Even though Indonesia is tropical country, the condition of Indonesia is still wet even though in the dry season. Even though some of the postman use delivery car to deliver the letter and other delivery, they said that the temperature in the car is hotter than outside the car. Moreover, in this fasting time (Ramadan) the postman from Indonesia said that their job becomes harder because of those reasons. Because of that, we should not make the postman job becomes harder because we don’t have mail box. If you want to make their job easier, you should buy the mail box. Mail box is not expensive enough so you don’t have to worry. Even though this job becomes particular challenge for the postman, it will be hard in this Ramadan time.

The tallest buildings in the world are impressive feats of architecture that capture the imagination.  How did buildings get to be this tall?  What obstacles had to be overcome?  Why are people so fascinated by tall buildings?  What are the 10 tallest buildings in the world?  All these answers follow.

The Appeal Of Tall Buildings

People are drawn to tall buildings.  In some ways, they capture the imagination.  They stand apart from the crowd to literally achieve new heights.  They take the limits of what has been done before and exceed them in a seemingly effortless way.

The tallest buildings are human accomplishments.  They are monuments to those who do not settle for the status quo but instead look to do that which has not yet been done.  They are an inspiration to anyone who wishes to create something extraordinary during their time on this earth.

The Obstacles

There are many obstacles for anyone wishing to design, much less build, a building that is among the tallest.  Consider this.  If building could all easily be made much taller than they are and be done so while staying structurally sound then most buildings would be taller.  There would be no shortness of office space or living space because whenever you needed more you would only have to look up.

The reason why this is not done is because it is difficult to make the actual structures of buildings stable beyond a certain height.  No matter what materials or designs you use, this task becomes more challenging the higher you go.  This does not mean that it is impossible, only challenging.

Beyond creating the building itself there are many other challenges.  You need to remember that this building will not exist in a vacuum.  It will be out in the real world and as a structure in the real world it will be at the mercy of the elements.

As a building grows taller then there is more surface area for the wind to catch to put pressure on the building.  If this pressure becomes high enough it could cause the building to sway, bend, or possibly even break.  This, of course, is enough of a concern with normal winds but the winds of storms and tornados become an even more serious matter.

Precipitation such as freezing rain could also have an effect.  It is not enough to make a building that can stand on its own.  It must be made to withstand anything that could reasonably be thrown at it as well.
