"Ken" has nothing to do, but the helpful interactive narrator soon puts a stop to that. Sensible leisure activities (bird watching and reading, for example) help Ken "prepare himself for better living" and "use his time well." This film is more imaginative than most when it comes to visual gimmickry. Ken later starred as Chuck-of-the-future in Good Table Manners. Keeping the world safe from beatniks, juvenile delinquents, and riff raff one 72 hour work week at a time. Producer: Coronet Instructional FIlms

The barren landscape surrounding the Paranal Observatory in Chile is stunning, but for the ESO staff who work there, on-site recreational activities are important for entertainment and general wellbeing. In this episode of the ESOcast, we follow three staff members in a unique behind-the-scenes look at the Paranal Residencia at the observatory's base camp -- a remarkable hotel that has won architectural design awards -- to see some of their leisure activities.

ESOcast 26: Life and Leisure at Paranal. The Sun sets at ESO's Paranal Observatory. Technicians and engineers have worked hard all day to prepare the European flagship facility, the Very Large Telescope (VLT), for astronomers to use. At night, scientists address some of the most important mysteries in the Universe with this superb science machine, observing the heavens in exquisite detail. --- Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.facebook.com --- Paranal is dedicated to astronomical observation, but no one can work all the time, especially in these harsh conditions. Everyone at the observatory has leisure time, and enthusiastically pursues their hobbies during their free time. Paranal is a special place to work at. First of all, it is located in the very remote and arid Atacama Desert in Chile, and it takes hours to drive to the nearest city. Secondly, the work that needs to be performed there isn't exactly easy and the professional skills of the staff are constantly challenged by the incredible technical diversity of the Very Large Telescope (VLT). So this combination makes leisure activities an essential part of life for the staff, because it helps them to relax and to recover from their often highly stressful work. In this episode, we're going to follow three Paranal staff members: Fernando Salgado, Stéphane Guisard and Margaret Moerchen, to learn about both their jobs and their hobbies on Paranal.

thefilmarchive.org Leisure, or free time, is time spent away from business, work, and domestic chores. It is also the periods of time before or after necessary activities such as eating, sleeping and, where it is compulsory, education. The distinction between leisure and unavoidable activities is loosely applied, ie people sometimes do work-oriented tasks for pleasure as well as for long-term utility. A distinction may also be drawn between free time and leisure. For example, Situationist International maintains that free time is illusory and rarely free; economic and social forces appropriate free time from the individual and sell it back to them as the commodity known as "leisure." Leisure studies is the academic discipline concerned with the study and analysis of leisure. Time for leisure varies from one society to the next, although anthropologists have found that hunter-gatherers tend to have significantly more leisure time than people in more complex societies. As a result, band societies such as the Shoshone of the Great Basin came across as extraordinarily lazy to European colonialists. Workaholics are those who work compulsively at the expense of other activities. They prefer to work rather than spend time socializing and engaging in other leisure activities. Men generally have more leisure time than women. In Europe and the United States, adult men usually have between one and nine hours more leisure time than women do each week.

The lifestyles - occupations, recreational activities, and family life - of two Africans are compared and contrasted by following their daily activities. Pierre Amon is a yam farmer who depends upon the land to get what he and his family need to live. The climate in his village is hot and humid, and his work is hard. If he grows more yams than his family needs, his wife sells them at the market; with the money, she then buys other goods. Life in his village is relatively uncomplicated. Fatime Sylla is a successful and wealthy businesswoman in a modern African city. Although her day is busy, she has maids at home to care for the house and children, and she can afford to buy expensive goods. Her leisure activities include eating at a luxurious restaurant, swimming, and water skiing. She is preparing to leave for a three-week business trip to France. Although there are striking contrasts between Fatime's and Pierre's lives, they both have many similar cares and ideals. They both have a deep concern for their home and family, and most important, they share a strong feeling of pride in being African. Grade Levels: 7 to Adult 18 minutes, color.

Category:Leisure activities
Leisure is one's discretionary time spent in non-compulsory activities, time spent away from cares and toils. Because leisure time is free from compulsory activities such as employment, running a business, household chores, education and other such day-to-day stresses, not including eating, and sleeping, it is often referred to as "free time". This category is for leisure activities such as those which one voluntarily spends away from such stresses, so called 'down time activities'. The distinction between leisure and compulsory activities is not strict, as compulsory activities (yardwork and gardening, for example — which circumstantially might on another day be a stressful demanding need.) may be done for pleasure as well as for long-term utility.
