Rather than canceling conferences, Orion and Morningstar are hiring doctors, medical staff for upcoming in-person events -- a very 2021 expense to curb COVID and the liability it represents
Having doctors and nurses is the crowning touch to form the smallest bubble possible, making attendees accountable and sparing no expense to avoid COVID superspreading.
Brooke's Note: The demand for attending in-person RIA conferences is relatively high. Events claim to be at or near capacity. The supply of in-person national conferences is scarce as many organizers like Schwab simply punt on the whole idea and others cautiously cancel toward the 11th hour. That imbalance suggests that a conference organizer is going to get serious bang for its buck if he/she can pull it off amid supply chain constraints. In such economic circumstances, it may make sense for organizers to pay more to bring off an event -- especially with pent-up demand. The choice of organizers to plow ahead but with a whole third-party-administered safety plan, ambulances, so to speak, and medical personnel, literally, on hand makes sense -- cost be damned. Not only may it be good stewardship and encourage tentative goers, it may also be prudent liability management as this article shows. Taking no extraordinary steps for an extraordinary pandemic situation could be asking for trouble.
Orion Advisor Services and Morningstar are taking extraordinary steps for their upcoming conferences to counter the latest COVID-19 outbreak, including having medical staff on site to make sure nobody takes home a viral load to workmates and loved ones.
Both the Omaha software firm and Chicago data, software and money management firm will pay medical staff -- at an estimated cost into the thousands of dollars-- to conduct health screenings, temperature checks and administer COVID tests.
They will even counsel attendees if they become afflicted with the coronavirus Delta variant, now ravaging such states as Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and South Dakota.
Orion is hosting its Ascent conference in Scottsdale Ariz., next week, Aug. 30 to Sept 1. The organization has already reached its in-person capacity.
We felt it was important to have the conference, and yet at the same time offer those that want to connect digitally to do so," said Orion CEO Eric Clarke.
"We’ve invested a lot of extra time, resources, planning, etc. to help those that do attend in person feel safe."
Orion is not demanding vaccinations though it "strongly recommends" shots. Masks and hand sanitizer will be included in each attendee's kit and available throughout the venue.
Maintaining the bubble
Planit Inc., an Omaha, Neb., event and meeting management company will handle health administration at the conference.
"Medical professionals will be available onsite over the conference dates to provide complimentary evaluations for those that might be feeling ill," it states.
Masks are required for unvaccinated attendees and mask-wearing is "strongly encouraged" for all, according to its website. Each attendee's welcome kit includes hand sanitizer, extra face masks and a sanitizing key.
To keep the bubble controllable, attendees and their guests will be required to wear name-tags to every event. They must complete pre-event health questions before attending any sessions.
Arizona has seen over 3,000 new cases daily for the past few days. As of Friday morning, over 3,700 new cases and 63 deaths were reported. Maricopa County, home to Scottsdale, has 633,745 confirmed cases, the highest in the state.
Just over 55% of Arizona's population has received at least one shot, and 48% are fully vaccinated, ranking 31st among states, according to USA Facts.
Attendees on notice
The Morningstar conference will take place at McCormick Place in Chicago from Sept. 22 to 24.
Attendees will be required to complete a daily health care screening and have their temperature taken to attend the conference.
Morningstar is providing on-site medical care through "In-House Physicians," a Naperville, Fla., company that "provides medical care for attendees with acute healthcare needs at corporate meetings and events," according to its website.
"In-house physicians will oversee daily health screenings, temperature checks, which are required," says spokesman Landon Hudson. She adds that In-house physicians can also administer COVID tests as needed.
At Morningstar, all attendees are required to wear a face-covering "unless medically unable," its website says. The company says it will revise this requirement "as needed closer to the conference dates."
The company is also put attendees on notice that additional safety protocols may be required "as mandated by the city, state and McCormick Place."
Attendees who fail to follow COVID guidelines "will be asked to leave and be given a refund for their conference registration," Morningstar's website states.
In Illinois, 61% of the population is fully vaccinated, while just over 70% of adults and 50% of children, 12-17, have received at least one dose in Chicago, according to local statistics.
In the past week statewide, there were 25,636 New COVID Cases, 176 Deaths and 168,000 vaccinations administered, according to the local NBC affiliate.
One of the challenges for conference organizers is many local municipalities and states are changing regulations daily with the rise in COVID-19 cases.
Illinois, for example, has just initiated a mask mandate for all indoor activities.
Conferences state their rules could change at any time as local rules change. For instance, WealthStack is requiring a proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to attend its conference, Sept. 27 to 29 at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood Fla.
"With the potential for CDC and local health guidelines to shift daily up to the conference, we will be adjusting our protocol in real-time to reflect the latest and greatest in safety procedures," says Lindsay Tis, brand strategy director at Informa, which runs the WealthStack conference.
DeVoe & Company is hosting an M&A succession planning conference, Oct. 28 and 29, in San Francisco where Schwab's RIA chief Bernie Clark will speak.
Attendees are required to be vaccinated "pursuant to San Francisco's current mandate related to specific types of indoor establishments," according to its website.
"Given ongoing changes to guidelines and requirements, we will share procedures closer to the event with all attendees," the site states.
Vaccination, or not
The Wealth Management Gala is still on tap Sept. 9, at the New York Athletic Club in New York City, but with complicated rules.
"We are asking everyone to avoid handshakes in favor of non-contact greetings and reducing the need to queue by staggering admission times and updating floor plans."
The event follows New York City mandated protocols regarding COVID-19. The rules even change based on the time that you attend the event.
For instance, guests who enter the New York Athletic club in the afternoon must provide proof of vaccination before entering the event and guests without proof of vaccination won't be allowed to attend.
However, those who are attending the event only in the evening must provide proof of vaccination or at least proof of a negative COVID-19 test within the previous 24 hours.
The questions about masking are equally complicated.
In its Q&A, it states that the local guidelines differ for masking regarding fully vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
"Unvaccinated individuals: Require six feet of social distancing and to be wearing a mask at all times except where signage permits.
"Vaccinated individuals: No social distancing or masks required, except when on-site signage dictates."
Riskalyze is slated to host its Fearless Conference in Palm Springs, Calif., Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 and is set to potentially beat the company's 2019 attendee numbers, says Aaron Klein, CEO. The company is hoping to have more than 700 attendees.
Riskalyze CEO Aaron Klein told RIABiz his firm is following state and local guidance, which don't require vaccinations or COVID tests for indoor events.
"Sponsorships are completely sold out, tickets are all but sold out and demand has been extremely high and well ahead of 2019 pace," Klein says.
His conference isn't requiring vaccinations or COVID tests. "State and local health guidance didn’t require it for an event of our size, and we’re following that guidance," he says.
Conferences that go forward during the latest COVID surge could face legal liability if someone catches the virus while attending. In those cases, a negligence standard applies, according to legal references.
"In other words, the primary question is whether the association has met the prevailing standard of care for providing a reasonably safe and healthy environment for its attendees," according to the ASAE, a trade group representing associations.
But the association warns that the standard of care is evolving.
"In this context, it generally will be determined based on a combination of applicable state and local government mandates, nonbinding but compelling federal guidance (such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance for large gatherings), and industry best practices," it states.
"If your association can demonstrate that it met all or most of these standards for health and safety for factors that were within your control—and that you did all you reasonably could to ensure that the event venue did the same—then it would be difficult for an attendee who contracted COVID-19 at the event to hold the association liable for negligence."
Bailing on events
The RIA fall conference season could end before it gets started for many firms.
Already, Technology Tools for Today, the Financial Planning Association (FPA) and "Invest In Others" have scrubbed events in the face of the latest pandemic surge. See: The 2021 RIA event comeback collapses as FPA, 'Invest In Others' and T3 cancel in-person events, but WealthStack, Riskalyze and SALT won't be deterred
T3 decided Friday (Aug. 20) to postpone his annual for-profit conference.
"Everyone got antsy about the Delta variant," Joel Bruckenstein told RIABIZ.
Perhaps presciently, Charles Schwab & Co. decided against hosting its annual fall IMPACT event last Spring.
But it still plans in-person meetings in 10 cities on Oct. 18 with indoor and outdoor spaces, says spokesman Peter Greenley. The locations will be announced in Mid-September when IMPACT registration launches.
"In all locations, COVID-19 protocols will follow local mandates. We’ll reinforce our commitment to health and safety through the conference website and communications."

Description. Our 'Affordable Plasma Cutting' system offers you a complete "turnkey" setup - the first such CNC plasma cutter package on the market. The APC is a CNC machine that comes with absolutley everything that you need to get cutting. From the PC to the Automatic Torch Height Controller, as well as more than 5000 pre-drawn images.
Plasma Cutting Plasma is a gas that has been heated until the electrons escape from their atoms. While the gases used by plasma cutters can vary, the basic operating principle used by CNC variants is always the same. An electrode inside the nozzle of the cutter arcs electricity to the end of the nozzle, turning the gas being pumped through into a plasma. The conductive plasma then completes the …
Non-cutting tools, such as cold-forming tools, burnishing tools, or measuring probes, are also sometimes involved. M-Code: (miscellaneous function) is an auxiliary command; descriptions vary. Many M-codes call for machine functions like open workstation door,' which is why some say "M" stands for "machine", though it was not intended to
How to choose a CNC plasma cutter Find a distributor ... As you can see, if you start adding more tools, like a 2nd plasma, a marker tool, more oxy-fuel torches, etc, the machine can get really big in a hurry. And a beveling station makes it even worse, because most bevel stations take up 24 – 36 inches of cross cut on the machine!
Abstract— The aim of this risk assessment is highlighting the safety aspect in CNC gas cutting process.The gas cutting is one of the hazardous process in manufacturing industry which have multiple potential hazard so that we have applied risk assess-ment method to find out risk related to it and also given coun-termeasures to reduce or eliminate risk in order to make the working environmental safe …
Plasma cutting machine operators set up and operate plasma cutting machines designed to cut and shape excess material from a metal workpiece using a plasma torch at a temperature hot enough to melt and cut the metal by burning it and works at a speed that blows away the molten metal from the clear cut.
Machine Type: Dual-purpose CNC Plasma Cutter Machine: CNC or Not: CNC: Plate Cut Size Range: 1300x2500mm (4x8) Circular Pipe Cut Size: 200x2500mm (D x L) Cut Torch: 1 Plasma torch (flame torch can be added as an option) Plate Cut Table: Sawtooth burn table: Circular Pipe Cut Table: Rotary with chuck: Flat Cutting Speed: 0 ~ 4,000mm/min: Rotary Feed Rate: 0 ~ 4,000mm/min
that is supplied with the CNC plasma cutter is used to control the machine. This is the program used to drive the torch manually, set the tool origin or offset and run the machine code to product the part. On many CNC machines, the production interface is built into controller that is part of the machine.

The inaugural womb transplant in the U.K. has been hailed as an immense triumph, potentially opening the door for future endeavors of a similar kind. The surgical feat involved a 34-year-old woman who suffered from type I Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, resulting in an underdeveloped womb that hindered her ability to conceive. Her sister, aged 40 and a mother of two, selflessly donated her uterus in a bid to aid her sibling’s dream of childbirth.
The procedure, an intricate process that spanned two surgeries lasting a collective 18 hours, was conducted earlier this year. Though the transplant was successfully executed, it has only recently been publicly documented in a case report published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. While womb transplants remain relatively rare, having been performed in only a few countries, around 100 have been carried out globally, with approximately 49 recipients subsequently giving birth.
Nevertheless, these procedures are not without risks and potential complications, as recipients are required to take anti-rejection medication with potential serious side effects. The patient in this instance is anticipated to undergo a maximum of two pregnancies with the donor womb before its removal. This pioneering surgery was led by Isabel Quiroga, a consultant transplant surgeon at Oxford University Hospitals, and Professor Richard Smith, a consultant gynecologist at Imperial College Hospital London. The endeavor was financed by Womb Transplant U.K., a charity chaired by Professor Smith.
The medical team has been authorized to conduct 15 transplants, each costing approximately £25,000 ($32,000), but further funding will be required to complete these procedures. The hope is that this initial success will create a path for more women to access donor uteruses, benefiting those who have had their wombs removed for health reasons. This milestone marks the culmination of 25 years of British research, which has paved the way for preserving fertility in women with specific gynecological cancers. While acknowledging that it is still early days, Professor Smith expressed his optimism that the recipient will progress well, potentially giving birth in the coming years, and the team aspires to perform more transplants, contingent on securing funding and additional donors.

When Harmony Korine was asked about the violent characters in the film, he said, "It's kind of like an ode to vandalism. There can be a creative beauty in their mayhem and destruction. You could say these characters are poets or mystics of mayhem and murder, bubbling up to the surface. They do horrible things, but I never viewed them as sad characters. They're comedic, with a vaudevillian horror element to what they do. They dance as they smash things and set them on fire. They're having a great time." See more »
Like watching someone pick at a scab, this movie was painful and pointless from the opening scene. It is hilarious to read glowing reviews from alleged film experts that attempt to praise this piece of garbage. I only made it through half of the movie (and much of that was on fast forward) until I could feel myself getting dumber. I finally had wasted enough time and turned it off. I would LOVE to talk for fifteen minutes with some of the reviewers that praised this movie and see what OTHER cinematic classics they recommend. Granted some of the scenes will stick with me for a long time, but I also saw a dog get hit by a car when I was eleven--that has stuck with me as well.
Avoid at all costs unless you have much more spare time to waste than I do.

Studying abroad highlights the lack of modernization in Cambodian agricultural practices, according to Cambodian interns working in Israel
PHNOM PENH--Cambodia every year sends agricultural students to study and train in Israel to gain experience, knowledge and modern technology in agriculture and for Sambath Kanhara, who has studied in Israel for almost a year, said the hands-on experiences she’s had will help further develop Cambodia’s agricultural sector.
In particular, she said, her studies in seed nursing has involved the practical implementation of automated seedling planting on a large farm, a far cry away from the manual planting techniques common throughout Cambodia.
“When we are here in Israel, we understand the farming techniques. I came here to do an internship in the nursery, where we take care of the seedlings when they are being sold,” said Kanhara, who will return to Cambodia next month. “When I first came to Israel, I was amazed and have gained a lot of experience from the farm, their cultivation techniques, and other methods in taking care of the seedlings.”
The work experience and techniques in growing vegetables that Kanhara gained from her internship in Israel have given her a better understanding of the shortcomings in the agricultural sector in Cambodia.
Kanhara, a student of Agricultural Engineering from the Royal University of Agriculture, said she intends to apply the advanced technical knowledge she gained from Israel to grow vegetables and fruits in order to contribute to the development of agriculture in Cambodia.
“I want to expand and develop our agricultural sector widely,” she said. “Even if not exported to foreign countries, we still can provide sufficient food for our people in our country.”
For another Cambodian intern in Israel, Theng Yany, his experience—despite not matching his studies—could help develop Cambodian farming techniques.
“Although what I’m training for is not exactly related to my major, I think it is a new experience for me, which I can share with people in our country, especially in terms of agriculture,” he said.
“More or less, I can contribute to this sector in Cambodia,” Yany added.
He said each process of cultivation in Israel, from planting seedlings to harvesting crops, is done using machines and robots.
“I think it is a positive point that I can share with Cambodian people or cooperate with someone who’s already used technology in their plantation to further strengthen the techniques,” he said. “Therefore, our country can improve on the cultivation of crops and plants by using more technology and machines.”
Ngo Bunthan, Rector of the Royal University of Agriculture (RUA), said from 2008 to 2020, the university sent more than 1,000 agricultural students to Israel for internships. In October 2021, Cambodia will send nearly 200 more agricultural students to internships in Israel.
“Returning students are usually dispersed according to their career choices,” he said. “Some have set up their own startups to trade agricultural products or provide agricultural services. Some also work in private companies, especially Israeli companies, while some work in the government institutions.”

In the next 100 years, Alaska will experience a massive loss of its historic tundra, as global warming allows these vast regions of cold, dry, lands to support forests and other vegetation that will dramatically alter native ecosystems, an Oregon State University researcher said today.
Polar regions such as Alaska will be among the first to illustrate the profound impacts of climate change, said Dominique Bachelet, an associate professor in the OSU Department of Bioengineering and expert on the effects of climate change on terrestrial vegetation. She spoke at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America.
More precipitation, an overall loss of soil carbon, a probable reduction in forest fires and a likely increase in insect and pathogen attacks on trees are also projected by some of the most sophisticated computer models yet developed, Bachelet said. "The effects of climate change in Alaska will be among the most visible in the world," Bachelet said. "The tundra has no place else to go, and it will largely disappear from the Alaskan landscape, along with the related plant, animal and even human ecosystems that are based upon it."
There are some variables that could affect these projections, Bachelet said, such as major changes in ocean circulation patterns that could have unpredictable effects on regional climate. One such change that has been suggested – a shutdown of a major ocean current and circulation pattern in the North Atlantic ocean that currently is responsible for warming much of Europe – might have other ripple effects that would cause regional climate impacts to vary.
"You’ll always have some uncertainties when you are trying to predict the localized impact of global climate change," Bachelet said. "But it’s pretty certain that our global climate is warming up, and at this time, it looks like one of the major impacts will be on the tundra ecosystem of Alaska."

Whey Isolate+ Lean Muscle Builder
- The Most Powerful Protein Formula Ever Developed
Nitro-Tech is a scientifically engineered whey isolate+ lean musclebuilder formula designed for all athletes who are looking for more muscle, more strength and better performance. Nitro-Tech contains protein sourced primarily from whey protein isolate and whey peptides – two of the cleanest and purest protein sources available to athletes. Other whey protein supplements might have only a few grams of these highly bioavailable and easily digested proteins. Nitro-Tech is also enhanced with the most studied form of creatine for even better gains in muscle and strength.
- 70% Better Than Regular Whey Protein for Gains in Lean Muscle
¹In a six-week, double-blind study involving 36 test subjects with at least three years of weight-training experience divided into three groups, subjects combining the core ingredients in Nitro-Tech with a weight-training program gained 70% more lean muscle than subjects using regular whey protein (8.8 vs. 5.1 lbs.) and increased their bench press more than subjects using regular whey protein (34 vs 14 lbs.). These same subjects even gained 4 times the lean muscle as subjects using a placebo (8.8 vs 2.0 lbs.). This formula provides 30 g of protein from ultra-pure protein. Plus, it delivers a clinically proven dose of creatine.
- Build More Strength Than Regular Whey Protein
Each scoop of Nitro-Tech contains a research-proven dose (3 grams) of creatine monohydrate. Combined in Nitro-Tech, whey protein and creatine build more strength than regular whey protein. In one study, subjects using the whey/creatine combination in Nitro-Tech increased their one-rep max bench press by 34 lbs., compared to only 14 lbs for subjects using regular whey protein.
- Ultra-Clean Protein Formula
A single scoop of Nitro-Tech contains 30 grams of protein, primarily from whey protein isolate and whey peptides, with only 4 grams of carbs and 2.5 grams of fat! Most Protein powders deliver significantly less protein per scoop while some protein formulas are loaded with fat and carbs. The whey protein in Nitro-Tech has been filtered using Multi-Phase Filtration Technology for less fat, lactose and impurities than cheaper protein sources.

MANKATO — A repeat vehicle thief was caught using GPS after he drove into a stranger’s garage, charges say.
Hussen Hassan Hussen, 29, of Mankato, allegedly stole car from outside a Mankato residence Friday evening.
Soon after another Mankato resident reported a stranger pulled into his garage and asked where to find a gas station.
Meanwhile police used the GPS tracker in the cellphone that was in the car when it was stolen to locate Hussen in a parking lot, according to a court complaint.
Hussen allegedly admitted he stole the car because he “wanted to go for a joy ride.”
Hussen was charged with felony auto theft and misdemeanor driving without a license Monday in Blue Earth County District Court.
Last month Hussen reportedly stole another car from Mankato and drove while under the influence of drugs. He has pleaded guilty to auto theft and DWI in that case and will be sentenced in June.

Just like the rest of us, even celebs are affected by negative comments.
And no one knows better than Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Fresh off being announced as one of the new “Dancing with the Stars” contestants, Bristowe opened up on her Instagram Stories about how Internet trolls can get to you.
“I forgot how mean people are when you go on TV,” Bristowe captioned a picture with her eyes full of tears. “Just so many ‘She looks so old and plastic comments’ everywhere. You win today trolls. It got to me.”
“I had a good cry, didn’t somehow ruin my eyeliner,” she said in another slide. “I think I honestly am just so tired that anything will set me off right now. Plus, I’m PMSing so great combo.”
Adding, “I felt my feelings, I got it out. Sometimes I like to be honest on here about not always being real happy everything. I had a weak moment, cried it out, felt it all. Now, I’m going to pour myself a glass of wine and remember what’s important in life.”
Bristowe’s fans jumped into action and helped her out.
Responded to a fan about how she is doing, Bristowe wrote, “MUCH better. My friends made me a board with nice messages on it and I sat and read them all, reminded myself of who’s [sic] opinions matter, and I’m BACK.”
Another asked how she stays in “good spirits”.
“I don’t stay in good spirits. I drown in tears sometimes. And that’s okay. I don’t stay in dark places long and that’s the goal for me,” she added. “Feel your feelings, find the root issue, and push forward.”
The Canadian “Bachelorette” star will make her “DWTS” debut on Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

A missed period is the most common indicator for a woman to know that she is pregnant. However, there some earlier signs also that help detect pregnancy. But these signs on their own do not confirm a pregnancy; a test needs to be done once the period is missed to confirm it.
Though not many may notice it, breast changes or sensitive and sore breasts are one of the earliest signs of pregnancy. It is also common for some women to have some spotting which can occur anywhere from 3 to 12 days after ovulation. One other symptom which reveals the pregnancy is morning sickness or fatigue. Some women may have the feeling of nausea at anytime of the day. These symptoms may be caused by the pregnancy hormones even before one knows that one is pregnant. One may even feel the need for frequent urination, immediately after one becomes pregnant. Sometimes there might also be some kind of food aversions or some kind of cravings that can start immediately after becoming pregnant, though these may also go unnoticed.Since the missed period is the confirmation of one becoming pregnant, these little symptoms go unnoticed most of the times. But it is important to remember that one might have these symptoms but not be pregnant. However, if any one or more of the above symptoms are present along with a missed period, then one should just get a home pregnancy test kit and get oneself tested. The results of these kits are generally accurate and if the result is positive, then one should visit the doctor at the earliest.

Aligarh: Professor M Masroor A Khan (Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University) delivered a special talk on marine algae used as plant growth promoters during the ’10th European Conference on Marine Natural Products’ held at Kolymbari City, Greece.
Delineating on the topic, Prof Khan said that when marine polysaccharides like alginate, carrageenan and chitosan are exposed to gamma radiation, various low molecular weight oligosaccharides are produced, which can be use as potent plant growth promoters.
Prof Khan further informed that these plant growth promoters when sprayed on aromatic plants enhance their aroma. He added that the research is also useful for enhancing oil production in growing plants.
Using the technique, Prof Khan has been able to increase productivity and quality of several aromatic plants like khas, lemongrass, geranium, eucalyptus, sauf, mint and peppermint.

Decreasing term life refers to a form of term life insurance. It is unlike level term insurance, which guarantees a set payout if you die or if you are diagnosed with a critical illness or disability as defined by the policy. Instead, the amount of payout decreases, often on a yearly basis, though your premiums stay the same.
There are some reasons why decreasing term life may be a good idea. First, it’s less expensive than level term life, so it can be good protection for people who don’t have a lot of money to pay for life insurance. Second, if your main goal is to insure that your mortgage is paid should you pass away, decreasing term life is usually attached in terms of payout to the amount of your mortgage. If this form of insurance is meant to only cover your full mortgage, that amount should naturally decrease as you make monthly payments. It may be used as a form of mortgage insurance, especially since many plans include payout if you become critically ill or seriously disabled.
Though decreasing term life is less expensive, in the end it may be more expensive. This type of insurance will eventually decrease to the amount of nothing, and your investment will result in no payout if you survive the term of the insurance. Additionally the amount goes down, so no money is invested, and no life insurance “matures.” It is temporary protection, which in the short run may be less expensive, but in the long run may be an investment of a lot of money for absolutely no return.
On the other hand, small payments for insurance that at least guarantee you will have money to pay off your mortgage and not leave survivors with this responsibility can be a great relief to many people. Even if that amount decreases over time, it still means survivors don’t have to deal with the stress of either beginning work immediately after your death to make mortgage payments, or having to sell, perhaps, a family home, because the payments are not affordable. This may especially give great comfort to people with young families, where the absence of one of the mortgage holders/parents could make it very challenging to maintain standard of living for the surviving parent and children.
When evaluating life insurance, it’s a good idea to look at your baseline needs for your survivors or what you need if you become unable to work. Some people owe very little in mortgage payments, and decreasing term life would not make much sense under these circumstances. It may be better for some people to look for an insurance plan that instead has a stable, predictable payout that will not decrease over the life of the policy.

China’s CRH3 245 mph (394.3 km/h) on June 24 2008
Photo Sify News
(Click to read original article on Sify News website.)
On June 24 a Chinese CRH3 train established a national record of 245 mph. The train is based on Siemens Velaro technology was built in China utilising components manufactured by Siemens in Germany and CNR Tangshan in China.
In 2008, 80 railway construction projects were launched. Currently, 2 trillion yuan (£200 billion) worth of rail construction projects are under way.
Yesterday, China’s Minister of Railways, Liu Zhijun, announced that by the end of 2012 China’s railway network will be 68,000 miles (110,000 km) long, including 8,000 miles (13,000 km) for high speed trains (V > 250 km/h). China’s current railway network is 49,000 miles (79,000 km) long.
Today, a new 118 mile (190 km) high speed line linking Shijiazhuang in Shanxi province to Taiyuan in Hebei province commenced trail running. The new line will relieve congestion on the original passenger-goods railway lines allowing them to carry more coal from Shanxi.
Construction work on the £1¼ billion (12.64 billion yuan) project started in 2005. The line runs through 94 bridges and 32 tunnels, including China’s longest mountain tunnel with a length of 27.8 km.
Another five high-speed passenger lines, mostly in southern China, will go into operation in 2009, according to the Ministry of Railways.
It’s sobering to reflect that Britain, which once led the world in railway research and technology, now has no indigenous railway manufacturing industry of its own and that Government ministers are still waiting for reports before they decide whether or not to build a high speed railway network.

During the short Arctic summers, the tundra, covered most of the year under snow and ice, becomes filled with colorful flowers, mosses, shrubs, and lichens. These hardy little plants transform the northern landscape, as they take advantage of the warmer weather and long hours of sunlight. Caribou, lemmings, snow buntings, and many other wildlife species depend on tundra plants for food and nutrition, but they are not the only ones...
A Walk on the Tundra follows Inuujaq, a little girl who travels with her grandmother onto the tundra. There, Inuujaq learns that these tough little plants are much more important to Inuit than she originally believed.
In addition to an informative storyline that teaches the importance of Arctic plants, this book includes a field guide with photographs and scientific information about a wide array of plants found throughout the Arctic.

The estimation of glycoalkaloids in the flesh of different types of decayed potatoes was evaluated. The results showed that turned green and also sprouting or rotting potato flesh contain high amounts of toxic solanine and chaconine, exceeding by 2–5-fold the recommended limit, and ranging from 2578 ± 86 mg/kg to 5063 ± 230 mg/kg of dry weight potato flesh. For safety consideration, these decayed potatoes should be systematically set aside. To avoid a net economic loss and encourage the removal of this hazardous food, a recycling process was investigated to generate added-value compounds from the toxic glycoalkaloids. A simple chemo-enzymatic protocol comprising a partial acidic hydrolysis followed by an enzymatic treatment with the β-glycosidase from Periplaneta americana allowed the efficient conversion of α-chaconine to solanidine. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens in cooked beef sold in the streets in CÔte d'Ivoire and their antimicrobial susceptibility. A total of 395 kidney and flesh samples of cooked beef were collected from vendors at Abidjan and subjected to C.difficile and C.perfringens isolation and identification by using biochemical tests, API 20A system and PCR detection. Subsequently, the antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed for confirmed isolates. Our results showed the prevalence of 12.4% for C.difficile (11.04% in kidney and 13.45% in flesh) and 5.06% for C.perfringens (2.32% in kidney and 7.17% in flesh). Metronidazole and vancomycin remained the most potent antimicrobial agents against C.difficile while metronidazole and penicillin G were the most potent agents against C.perfringens. The resistance rates to tetracycline, doxycycline, chloramphenicol and erythromycin against C.difficile and C.perfringens isolates ranged from 2.05% to 8.16% and from 20% to 50%, respectively. Among all antimicrobial agents tested against C.difficile, percentages of resistance to quinolones ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and nalidixic acid as well as to gentamicin and cefotaxime were the highest. Eight resistant phenotypes were defined for C.difficile isolates and eleven resistant phenotypes for C.perfringens isolates. Clindamycin/gentamicin/cefotaxime/ciprofloxacin/norfloxacin/nalidixic acid resistance was the most common phenotype for C.difficile (55.10% of isolates) while norfloxacin/nalidixic acid resistance was the most common phenotype for C.perfringens (20% of isolates). © 2014 The Authors.

Malaria control relies heavily on pyrethroid insecticides, to which susceptibility is declining in Anopheles mosquitoes. To combat pyrethroid resistance, application of alternative insecticides is advocated for indoor residual spraying (IRS), and carbamates are increasingly important. Emergence of a very strong carbamate resistance phenotype in Anopheles gambiae from Tiassalé, Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa, is therefore a potentially major operational challenge, particularly because these malaria vectors now exhibit resistance to multiple insecticide classes. We investigated the genetic basis of resistance to the most commonly-applied carbamate, bendiocarb, in An. gambiae from Tiassalé. Geographically-replicated whole genome microarray experiments identified elevated P450 enzyme expression as associated with bendiocarb resistance, most notably genes from the CYP6 subfamily. P450s were further implicated in resistance phenotypes by induction of significantly elevated mortality to bendiocarb by the synergist piperonyl butoxide (PBO), which also enhanced the action of pyrethroids and an organophosphate. CYP6P3 and especially CYP6M2 produced bendiocarb resistance via transgenic expression in Drosophila in addition to pyrethroid resistance for both genes, and DDT resistance for CYP6M2 expression. CYP6M2 can thus cause resistance to three distinct classes of insecticide although the biochemical mechanism for carbamates is unclear because, in contrast to CYP6P3, recombinant CYP6M2 did not metabolise bendiocarb in vitro. Strongly bendiocarb resistant mosquitoes also displayed elevated expression of the acetylcholinesterase ACE-1 gene, arising at least in part from gene duplication, which confers a survival advantage to carriers of additional copies of resistant ACE-1 G119S alleles. Our results are alarming for vector-based malaria control. Extreme carbamate resistance in Tiassalé An. gambiae results from coupling of over-expressed target site allelic variants with heightened CYP6 P450 expression, which also provides resistance across contrasting insecticides. Mosquito populations displaying such a diverse basis of extreme and cross-resistance are likely to be unresponsive to standard insecticide resistance management practices. © 2014 Edi et al.

Natural ecosystem conversion to agriculture is known to alter soil carbon dynamic. Following such conversion in many tropical areas, land undergoes fallow-cropping cycles where fallows are invaded by the pantropical weed Chromoleana odorata. This study was undertaken in the forest-savanna interface area of Côte d'Ivoire to evaluate the impact of these cycles on soil carbon stocks (SOCS) and yam yields, decades after natural ecosystem conversion. Trials involved four treatments including yam farms in forest (FOR, n = 10), in forest-derived C. odorata fallows (FoDCo, n = 7), in savanna (SAV, n = 3) and in savanna-derived C. odorata fallows (SaDCo, n = 3). Prior to turning plots to farms, soil was sampled in the 0–10, 10–20 and 20–40 cm layers for physical, chemical and microbial parameters. Since forest and savanna soils were different in granulometry, FoDCo was compared to FOR, and SaDCo to SAV. The soil organic matter and nutrient concentrations in the 0–10 cm soil layer in FoDCo and FOR were similar, except for available P which was higher in the former. SaDCo was higher than SAV in terms of SOC, available P, mineral N, and NO3-N:Mineral N ratio. With regard to SOCS, value in FoDCo equalled that in FOR regardless of soil layers (63.2 ± 4.4 and 63.7 ± 4.6 Mg ha−1 in 0–40 cm layer, respectively). However, SOCS significantly increased in SaDCo relative to SAV in the 0–20 cm (31.4 ± 2.7 vs. 24.2 ± 2.1 Mg ha−1). Consistently, yam yield in FoDCo was like that in FOR while it doubled in SaDCo compared to SAV, with SOC, CEC and mineral N as the controlling factors. The major finding of this study is that the predominance of C. odorata in fallow phases allows at least for maintenance of SOCS and yam yields decades after natural ecosystem conversion to farmland. Furthermore, evidence of the feasibility of the “4 per mille” was given. These results are highly useful in forest protection strategies since farmers usually cut forest for yam cropping. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Gut microbes play a crucial role in decomposing lignocellulose to fuel termite societies, with protists in the lower termites and prokaryotes in the higher termites providing these services. However, a single basal subfamily of the higher termites, the Macrotermitinae, also domesticated a plant biomass-degrading fungus (Termitomyces), and how this symbiont acquisition has affected the fungus-growing termite gut microbiota has remained unclear. The objective of our study was to compare the intestinal bacterial communities of five genera (nine species) of fungus-growing termites to establish whether or not an ancestral core microbiota has been maintained and characterizes extant lineages. Using 454-pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, we show that gut communities have representatives of 26 bacterial phyla and are dominated by Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Spirochaetes, Proteobacteria and Synergistetes. A set of 42 genus-level taxa was present in all termite species and accounted for 56-68% of the species-specific reads. Gut communities of termites from the same genus were more similar than distantly related species, suggesting that phylogenetic ancestry matters, possibly in connection with specific termite genus-level ecological niches. Finally, we show that gut communities of fungus-growing termites are similar to cockroaches, both at the bacterial phylum level and in a comparison of the core Macrotermitinae taxa abundances with representative cockroach, lower termite and higher nonfungus-growing termites. These results suggest that the obligate association with Termitomyces has forced the bacterial gut communities of the fungus-growing termites towards a relatively uniform composition with higher similarity to their omnivorous relatives than to more closely related termites. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Measuring innovation processes is a major concern for academics and firm managers. This study proposes an innovation capacity (IC) measure framework based on a set of 15 innovation management practices. Every practice is subdivided into multiple criteria which are directly observable phenomena or facts. The statistical method of value test and a multi-criteria approach are adopted to propose a typology of four groups of innovative firms (proactive, preactive, reactive, passive). The features observed on these groups of firms allow the determination of the firms' innovation capacity and are useful for providing recommendations and practical actions for them, with a view to reinforcing it. Data from a sample group of 39 small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing industry in Lorraine, France were collected via a field survey and were fed into the model to determine the innovation capacity of the companies. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Eremospatha macrocarpa and Laccosperma secundiflorum are two clonal rattan species: through vegetative reproduction each individual, i.e. each genet, may produce several stems that are linked to the same rhizome. To determine the impact of ramet harvest by local human populations in these species, we compared the demography of their ramets and studied the impact of the dynamics of their ramets on the demography of their genets. This also allowed a better analyze of their life-history and demography. Genets were classified in development stages. We counted for each genet the number of alive, new, dead and harvested ramets. We determined the impact of the number of ramets and changes in this number on the genet probability of survival, retrogression and recruitment. Ramet demography differed between the two rattan species. The average numbers of new, harvested and dead ramets are about two times higher in E. macrocarpa than in L. secundiflorum. Furthermore, ramet demography influenced genet demography in both species. The survival of adult genets in E. macrocarpa and juvenile genets in L. secundiflorum increased with the initial number of ramets (about 10% between the lower and higher ramet numbers). The genet probability of retrogression increased in L. secundiflorum and decreased in E. macrocarpa with the initial number of ramets. These results suggest the existence of some physiological integration between the ramets of the two rattan species which leads to some cooperation and competition between ramets, within a genet, and to the compensatory production of new ramets after harvest. Overall, for both species, the links between ramet and genet demography suggest that ramet harvest, at the present harvesting rate, is not detrimental to the studied rattan populations. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

Background & objectives: Mosquitoes increased resistance to insecticides, and environmental concerns about the use of insecticides, pose a major challenge in the search for new molecules to deplete and incapacitate mosquito populations. Plants are the valuable source as practices consisting in exploiting plant materials as repellents, and are still in wide use throughout developing countries. The aim of the present study was to screen plants from Côte d'Ivoire for larvicidal activity against mosquitoes. Methods: Resistant and sensitive larvae (III and IV instar) of Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus were exposed to crude ethanol extracts (90%) of 45 plants and viability observed after 30 min, 6, 12 and 24 h postincubation. After partition of active extracts, each fraction (hexane and chloroform washed with NaCl 1%, tannins and aqueous) was tested using the same protocol at various concentrations (1000-31.2 ppm). Results: Of 49 extracts tested, 7 exhibited high potential (LC50 = 80 to 370 ppm) against resistant and sensitive III and IV instar larvae of An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus. These extracts were from Cissus populnea, Cochlospermum planchonii, Heliotropium indicum, Phyllanthus amarus, Vitex grandifolia and Alchornea cordifolia. However, three most active plant species (LC50 = 80-180 ppm) were Cs. populnea, Cm. planchonii and P. amarus. Their hexane and chloroform fractions showed high larvicidal activity. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that plants from Côte d'Ivoire have a real potential for malaria, yellow fever, filarial and dengue vector control. Those could be used as sources or provide lead compounds for the development of safe plant-based biocides.

Kernel hardness is an important character directly associated with milling quality of hard wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We studied the inheritance of kernel hardness with the near-infrared reflectance technique. Four segregating populations were developed from three crosses: Amidon/Grandin for population 1 at Prosper, ND; Grandin/Amidon for population 2 at Fargo, ND; Amidon/ND622 for populations 3 and 4 at Prosper, ND and Fargo, ND. Amidon has a relatively hard kernel, whereas Grandin and ND622 have satisfactory kernel hadrness for desirable milling characteristics. Populations were grown in augmented block field experiments in 1988 and 1989. Heritability estimates for kernel hardness obtained by regression of F4 on F3 lines in populations 1 and 2, were 0.28 and 0.21, respectively. The estimates for the same character obtained by regression of F5 on F4 lines in populations 3 and 4 were 0.45 and 0.52, respectively. The estimates of heritability were significant. Effects of locations on kernel hardness were not significantly different. Statistical analyses showed that heritability estimates for populations 4 and 2 were significantly different. Correlation coefficients on a plot basis indicated little or no association between grain protein concentration and kernel hardness. © 2016 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht

If you’ve ever raised a dog from puppyhood, you know that puppies go through natural “fear stages” in which normal things that never bothered them before suddenly scare them into odd responses such as cowering or hiding.
It could be noises or sudden movements or people that trigger the fear response. Or something as simple as going up or down stairs or entering a vehicle. It seems to happen all of a sudden, stay a little while and then leave as quickly as it comes.
As the dog owner, you try to keep the pup’s routine as normal as possible and not acknowledge the fear. Acknowledging it affirms for the dog that its fear response is correct, and then you have a REAL fear problem.
I think it’s similar in widowhood. Since my husband Jim died from pancreatic cancer in December 2010, I can be going along with all of the confidence in the world, and then suddenly everything feels topsy turvy. I may not be able to name my “fear”, but I feel its effects. It manifests itself as a kind of skittishness and uncertainty.
Routines and elements of my life I was totally comfortable with the day before can seem daunting the next day for no apparent reason. It makes me feel out of sync, not in control, like I’m being swept along by life’s swift waters with no clear destination in sight and afraid to look toward my future.
Maybe it’s the changing seasons, or the light fading into winter’s slumber, or the looming need for new tires for my van, or changes to my duties at work, or feeling overwhelmed by all that has to be done in and to my old farmhouse.
Or maybe it’s because some days I simply feel all alone, even though I am surrounded by loving friends and family and four Brittany dogs. I think everyone has those days, but I know mine are related to missing my husband.
Jim and I really enjoyed the fall season. As hunters and people who loved the outdoors in general, fall is the best time of year.
But it’s not only that because I really relish the thought of the hours I will spend tramping through woods and fields with my hunting dogs and my shotgun, seeking Maine’s wild game birds.
It could be that my schedule is slowing down dramatically after a very hectic spring and summer of dog events and family life events — like my daughter’s wedding — and my fatigue is catching up with me. Or that there is a disturbance in my household’s routine because my youngest Brittany dog Quincy is away from home working on his field skills with my friend and his co-owner.
Or that it soon will be time to clean out my little salad garden that I have loved so much this summer.
Regardless of the cause, I seem to be going through a “fear” phase of sorts. Every little thing triggers a reaction, and I don’t feel a sense of control over my life or my environment. I want to step back from everything, kind of like an introverted response, but know I cannot. I don’t talk with friends or family about it because I don’t want to give it credence — to reinforce my fears, if that’s what they are.
I want the skittish feelings to go away.
I see this situation for what it is and I’m sure it’s temporary. And it may be just a normal human condition of life’s ups and downs, but I think widowhood intensifies its effects on me. Widowhood makes a person feel like he or she is on precarious ground anyway. Add a “fear stage” and you have a very unsettling combination.
In the meantime, I am trying to keep my routines as familiar as possible, and am waiting to wake up one morning and find that I am back in control, as much as one can be anyway. Just as the puppy’s fear stage phases out, I am sure this will fade away for me too and I soon will tackle my life with total confidence again.

Because of the worsening climate crisis, many bird species “will be forced to relocate to find favorable homes. And they may not survive.” Those are some of the findings of a new report from Audubon.
At a press conference Tuesday morning in South Tampa along the shore of Tampa Bay, the executive director of Audubon of Florida, Julie Wraithmell, warned that popular Florida birds might suffer.
“Because some of the birds we think of it as being most iconic for Florida, are some of the ones that are most endangered. Things like charismatic, pink roseate spoonbills. Those long-legged waders with the goofy spatula bills that you see flying about Tampa Bay. They nest right here in Tampa Bay. And, their islands are under threat of going under water entirely.
“Things like brown pelicans. What would Florida be without pelicans at the beach? These same birds depend upon these islands for their nesting habitat. And, sea-level rise and erosion are slowly but steadily wearing away at these places.
“Black skimmers that nest on our beaches. Even some of the common songbirds that we see — like redstarts in the winter. All of the things that make Florida, Florida, are at risk of being no more.”
Tampa-area Democratic U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor is the chair of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. She warns that two-thirds of bird species are in danger if people don’t take action soon to dramatically cut pollution by greenhouse gasses.
“Just over the past few months, July was the hottest month on record for the planet, in history. Right here, in the Tampa Bay area, the month of October was our hottest October, ever, since they started keeping records. In fact, the Tampa Bay area set another unfortunate record, where we had more consecutive days over 70 degrees than ever before. That simply broke a record from 2018.
“We’re seeing very damaging sea-level rise, more intense tropical storms. So, it’s important that Audubon — along with many other organizations — is urging us to take action.
“Of course, our press conference is a day after President Trump said that the United States of America will withdraw from the international Paris climate accord. That means that the United States of America will be the only country — the only country on the planet — that will not be working to reduce carbon pollution, and to make sure we’re tackling the climate crisis. …
“The decision by President Trump yesterday to withdraw the United States of America from the international Paris climate agreement is a horrendous decision. It’s going to cost families more. It’s going to make our climb steeper.
“Fortunately, though, we have local communities, states, businesses, academic institutions, that are in the lead right now, working on reducing carbon pollution, setting robust goals.
“The State of Florida, unfortunately, is a laggard.
“And, in fact, today, it appears that our own Public Service Commission is going to eliminate any goals for our electric utilities to encourage energy conservation. That’s not smart. And that’s going to cost consumers a whole lot more down the road. So, State policymakers need to take action there.
“Our job on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis in Congress is to develop a bold climate action plan. And we are developing those recommendations now with scientists, entrepreneurs, academic institutions, working folks all across America. We’ll roll out those recommendations in March. We’re asking for everyone’s input.
“And this Audubon report, and call to action, it comes at a very important time. [It] helps us raise the profile of what could happen if we do not take action. It’s quite dire indeed.”
Watch the press conference:

Understanding Your Customers
More than 45 years of Physical, Cognitive & Emotional Research has made us wiser, but not in the least less curious. What are your customers’ true future needs, what are their dreams and aspirations?
Our groundbreaking strategies, products and services are based on unique methods for retrieving insights. Our Researchers work in close collaboration with extraordinary Designers and Business Innovators to unravel new opportunities. There are no ordinary days at Veryday. We meet your customers in their real lives. Sometimes this takes us in to their home, in order to gain novel insights.
Thanks to our in-house researchers we can act fast on megatrends and global insights to help you create and communicate products and services that truly make a difference to people’s lives. Our scientists team up with academic institutions all over the world to constantly improve our acknowledged methods and processes. Expect the unexpected.
Our services include
- Physical, Cognitive & Emotional Research
- Consumer Insight
- Collaborative Processes
- Qualitative Research
- Inclusive Design
- Emotional Journey Mapping
- Usability Testing
- Trend Forecasting
- Emotional Experience Mapping
Truly understanding and addressing the emotions of your customers offers an opportunity to differentiate a brand from its competitors. It is not an easy task, but Veryday’s experienced teams know how to map the emotional journey of customers before, during and after using a service or product. Our map provides vital clues on how to add value to a proposition and make our clients offerings more meaningful and attractive to their customers.
An emotion is more than a feeling
An emotion is a mental and physiological state, associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. Emotions evoke different actions and reactions to products, services and the brands that create them. Understanding emotions means that you can design the most compelling experience possible. That’s why it’s crucial to scientifically map and understand the complex emotions of your customers.
New tools to measure emotions
Through many years of scientific research and design experience we have developed the process and tools to capture and quantify the human emotional experience. This helps organizations better understand their customers’ needs, and how they can add value to the offering. And sometimes, it’s the least costly, simplest change that results in the most rewarding end-user experience. In short, emotional mapping is a tool that will result in a more attractive and meaningful total experience of your brand.
Capturing, measuring and identifying what triggers an emotion- and where emotional conflicts lie – provides vital clues on how to eliminate emotional lows, resolve emotional conflicts, or leverage emotional highs. The emotional experience mapping process can be divided into the following steps as a fundamental part of brand experience development:
Segmentation & Recruitment
For interviews, shadowing, and observation via home visits, etc.
For capturing and probing emotions that occur before, during and after user interaction.
For mapping and analyzing the total emotional journey of the end user.
Successful companies are continuously prepared to adapt to change. Understanding these changes and how they affect the way people behave, think and feel is the basis of what we call Futuring. It distills the trends that will influence your future business and helps identify the opportunities brands have to turn change into commercial success.
Veryday’s Futuring offers tailor-made insights that fill the gap between pure data prediction and strategic decision-making. It offers informed inspiration that visualizes what ‘could be possible’ for the brand tomorrow – in the short, medium and long-term. Our experience shows that a true understanding of people is a critical factor for future success. By combining ‘people thinking’ with megatrends, macro trends, and the in-house knowledge of our global clients, we find new ways to enhance people’s lives with meaningful brand experiences.
When we provide Futuring services we will ask you to consider how far forward you would like to look, near term (1-2 years), mid-term (3-5 yrs), or long-term (10 years and more). Depending on the scale of the assignment, we gather mid-term to long-term social, cultural, technological and ecological data, sometimes adding economic and political data to our findings. This provides input into initial analytical sessions that form the basis of creative work. Examples of deliveries are Visual Futuring Maps & Timelines, Scenarios/Visualised Scenarios, Visualised Concepts, and Prototypes.
Please contact Nicola Chamberlain if you want to know more about Futuring.
Peoples’ perception of the world is the sum of their whole being and person. People-driven innovation is about all aspects of a person; a holistic view of the end-user that combines emotional, cognitive and physical aspects. We call it People³ and it’s the very DNA of our design and research approach. We use it to unravel unique People Insights that are fundamental to ground breaking design.
The human spirit is the sum of personality, mood and affect. All of which are formed by many factors; from present happenings to past experiences, the people around us, our biology, culture, and even personal dreams and aspirations. However complex, it’s emotions that influence our acceptance, liking and attachments to products, services and digital solutions. Emotional research offers insights that differentiate brands and build meaningful customer relationships.
The human mind perceives, interprets and remembers. Fully grasping these processes enables us to create efficient and desirable solutions. New products, services or digital solutions should be natural and easy to use. We shouldn’t need an instruction manual to start enjoying a product or service.
The human body is a result of nature’s own design, with all its abilities, limits, and distinctiveness. Our task is to create products, services and digital environments that foster and nurture this fine piece of human machinery. Giving physical aspects their rightful attention lays the basis for us to design and innovate solutions that people find comfortable and effortless to use.
Please contact Thomas Nilsson if you want to know more about People³.
