Study confirms Cat people are more enthusiastic than dog people

Study confirms Cat people are more enthusiastic than dog peopleStudy confirms Cat people are more enthusiastic than dog peopleI was only a cat person for about 17 years. After Hairy Pawter passed away, I decided to fully commit to becoming a productive member of society. Forty-seven percent of U.S households have cats, and 60% have dogs. Last year, these pet owners dished out a collective $72 billion on their animals, which is an 8.1% increase from 2016. Americans love animals. Thirty-five percent of the US pet owners surveyed in Rover.coms new report said that their animals needs informed what kind of furniture they purchased, 29% said that it affected the kind of maschine vehicle they bought, and 29% said that having animals impacted the kind of apartment or home they rented.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreCat people vs. dog peopleClearly, the majority of the pet owners survey ed did not take the role lightly. Seventy percent of both dog people and cat people give theirpets nicknames, 61% of both let theiranimals take over the bed and couch, the average amount of cuddle time a day was one to two hours for both. EIghty-four percent of cat lovers and dog lovers said that pictures of their respective animals take up half of the photo space on their phones, and the vast majority said that when they enter the house from work they say hello to their pets before family members. But of the two kinds surveyed, which were the more enthusiastic? Cat people. By a lot.It is true that, on balance. dog people talk to their animals a lot more than cat people do, (on average cat people talked to their felines one to five times a day, the average chat-time reported by dog owners? Too many time to count) but the reason cat people, dont talk to their cats as often as dog people is because they sing to them instead. Seventy percent more cat owners than dog owners reported doi ng so Making up new songs all the time or singing to their pet at least sometimes.Cat people are also 16% more likely to get ticked off if they see their pet cuddling up with someone other than themselves. Ninety-one percent of cat owners claimed to be able to interpret their cats individual meows. Fifty-two percent of cat fanatics preferto spend time with their animals rather than humans, which is 9% percent more than the dog owner respondents that agreed.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from nesthkchen Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people

How to Display Material That Has a Copyright

How to Display Material That Has a CopyrightHow to Display Material That Has a CopyrightYouve completed a masterpiece, and youve had the work copyrighted. The question is, are you finished? The answeris, bedrngnis quite. Thats because youll want the world to know that you have your work copyrighted and thereby protected. How you show that your work has a copyright is more a matter of preference than it is an issue of U.S. law. When you use someone elses work, many authors will require that you display their copyright in a certain format. Likewise, you can require that others follow your specifications for using any of the work you produce. For example, you might allow someone to use your work freely for personal use as long as they give you credit in a previously agreed upon format. But, you might want to restrict the use of your work for commercial purposes because that means someone else is making money from your efforts. You might also allow, or not allow, use of derivative works, which are changes that youve made to your work. When You Use Someone Elses Material When youre using material from someone else, its very important that you honor the authors request as to how she or hewants credit shown, including how the writer wants their copyrights displayed. Examples of Copyright Formats You can show that youre the author or creator of copyrighted material in several ways including the following Copyright (word) DateExample Copyright 2008Copyright Symbol the Date or Year Something Was CreatedExample March 2008 or 2008Copyright Symbol With WordExample Copyright 2008Symbol Alone (when showing reference to something specific)Example How to Copyright Your Publications written by Anita Newborn. Sometimes, authors also use the words All Rights Reserved, or All Intellectual Rights Reserved. However, neither is necessary because the copyright already indicates that your rights are protected. Do I Have to Show an Actual Copyright Symbol? You dont have t o show an actual copyright symbol. That said, its alwaysin your best interest to declare your rights to, and ownership of, a pspeciesicular work anywhere the work is used or displayed. Should you end up having to sue someone for copyright infringement, it will be easier to prove that the person who used your work without permission was aware that they did not have the right to do so. The unmistakable copyright symbol makes it clear that the person was warned and proceeded ahead anyway. Its worth noting that a creator of work might not want to put a symbol on their work for many reasons. For example, paintings, photographs, and tangible art such as sculptures and furniture would have to be physically altered and stamped with the symbol, which would alter the art. Metadata and program coding are two other examples. A creator might have written the code or metadata, but its not possible to stamp the work with a copyright symbol. Its Always Better to Assume You Have No Rights The b ottom line is that if you did not personally create something,you most likely do not have the right to reuse it unless its in the public domain, even if you give credit to the source. If you ever have any question about whether you can use something, your best recourse is to contact the creator and ask them for permission, and if they say yes, to get that in writing.

These Robots Kill Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

These Robots Kill Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria These Robots Kill Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria These Robots Kill Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Blood does a miraculous job of keeping us alive, vigilantly attacking bacteria and toxins around the clock. But with antibiotic-resistant bacteria on the rise, robots are being called to the rescue.Berta Esteban Fernndez vila, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California San Diegos Jacobs School of Engineering, has created a nanorobot that can boost the bloods ability to fight infection. The tiny robots are made of gold nanowire and coated with a bacteria and toxin-slaying membrane. Powered from outside the body with ultrasound, the design may someday help save people from bacterial infections that doctors are finding themselves increasingly powerless to fight.Nanorobots coated in hybrid platelet/red blood cell membranes. Image Esteban-Fernndez de vila/Science RoboticsThe coating is the devices biggest innovation. Platelets in th e blood target bacteria while red blood cells neutralize toxins created by bacteria. Both do their magic with the receptors on their outer membranes. vila decided to combine the two.We take a blood sample from a patient, extract all the platelets and all the red blood cells, she says. Then we extract the membranes from the cells. The membranes are fused together using a physical, rather than a chemical, process. The platelet/red-blood-cell mashup is also resistant to disabling accumulations of protein and is bedrngnis rejected by the body.For You Insect-Sized Robot Takes FlightTo make the final toxin-beating bot, pieces of gold nanowire are coated with the new membrane. The technique they used was so efficient, says vila, that we didnt have a bad batch of robots.Small defects in the design cause the bots to respond better to ultrasound, so vila made one end of the nanowire segments concave to keep the nanobots asymmetrical. The ultrasound sends the two microns-long nanobots moving a t 35 microns per second. The bots swarm as a batch there is currently no way to control individual nanobots. With this configuration, vila and her colleagues successfully reduced the presence of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria Staphylococcus aureus in a blood sample. In just five minutes the sample had three times less bacteria, she says. The team published its results in a recent paper.The next step is to try the bots in living animals, probably starting with mice.In vivo experiments will determine, among other things, how toxic the gold nanowire might be.We use gold because it responds well to the acoustic field, vila says. But we dont know if this amount of gold will be toxic or not. We dont think so, but were not sure.Other materials may do better in other fluids. Magnesium, for instance, might better survive water and gastrointestinal fluids. It doesnt respond as well to ultrasound at the moment, but vila and her colleagues are looking into ways of making the material more se nsitive to the sound waves. Animal trials will also allow the team to focus on dialing in the right dosage for defeating bacteria, a challenge that is currently bigger than any design problem they face.vila and her colleagues targeted Staphylococcus aureus as a proof of concept. But the nanobots could theoretically be used against any malevolent bacteria. Everyday antibiotics are less and less and less efficient, so we have to find alternative ways to fight these infections, Avila says Using these robots, you can have better results.Michael Abrams is an independent writer.Read MoreRobots Replace Humans in Infrastructure InspectionRobots Enhance Artists VisionRobots Make Self-Repairing Cities Possible For Further DiscussionEveryday antibiotics are less and less and less efficient, so we have to find alternative ways to fight these infections.Berta Esteban Fernndez vila, University of California San Diego.

Developing a healthy relationship to technology

Developing a healthy relationship to technologyDeveloping a healthy relationship to technologyIn the 1960s, an eccentric and controversial professor predicted the rise of the internet.Marshall McLuhan spent most of his working life at the University of Toronto, where he welches primarily focused on understanding culture and technology what exactly they are, the way they interact, and how they have shaped what we experience as the past and the present.In his renowned bookUnderstanding Media The Extensions of Man(as well as a prior effort calledThe Gutenberg Galaxy), he predicted that we would soon move away from a visual culture, dictated by technologies like the TV and print magazines, to electronic media.This, he argued, would create aglobal village, a new kind of social organization that would move us away from individualism to tribalism as it would make it easier for us to connect.The main reason McLuhan was able to make such an impressive prediction was that he had a very foundat ional understanding of what technology is and how humans use it.Today, we think of information technologies like the phone or the computer when we use the term. If we push the definition a little, perhaps ancient tools like the wheel and the ax fall in there, too. But as McLuhan once said in an interview, technology is mora than thatI think of technologies as extensions of ur own bodies, of our own faculties, whether they be clothing, housing, or familiar kinds of technologies like wheels, stirrups that extend the function of the body the kind to amplify human powers in order to cope with the various environments brings on these extensions. These amplifications of our powers, sort of deifications of man, I think of as technologies.1The point of personal technologyWhile McLuhan sometimes took a pessimistic view regarding how technologies adapt the human condition, he was mostly impartial, often suggesting that technology is generally agnostic. If you are literate and use it well, its leverage if you dont, then it controls you.When we think of the term cyborg, we think of science fiction movies where humans have merged with computers in a physical way. But according to McLuhans definition, weve been cyborgs ever since we learned to make fire and build tools and dress ourselves in clothes.Each of these technologies, just like the computer, in some way, augment a part of our body and its senses so that we can better navigate across the different zones of space and time.When you build a car and use it in your daily life, you replace part of the functionality of your legs, not needing to use them for longer distances that you once may have had to.In this way, the car, then, becomes a part of your body, or an extension of your body, one that provides seamless leverage as you then conquer mora space than you previously could.This definition of technology turns everything that we unthinkingly use daily into something that either provides leverage as we connect it to our body or something that hinders us.If you spend all day sitting in front of the computer, being nudged from one notification to another, as your life passes by, this extension, in this instance, is likely hindering your body.At the same time, however, the fact that you can use that same computer to send emails to loved ones, communicating across vast distances, in minutes, gives you immense leverage to manipulate the very fabric of spacetime in a way that your biological body alone cant.This same dynamic exists in our relationship to our clothes, our bed, our home, and whatever else we can think of that provides a function to our body without being the body.A way towards maximum utilityOne of the most inspired cultural trends in recent years is minimalism the idea that less ownership is more because most of what we own today isnt necessary in a strict sense.At the end of the day, if you take care of the basics, like feeding yourself, putting a roof over your head, and finding wa ys to add value with your time, you technically dont need more.This whole idea gets one thing quite right, but at the same time, in another way, it falls short.First, its true we dont need a lot. In fact, much of what most people own is in their way. If we look at it from McLuhans point of view, these things act more like the computer stopping you from living your life than the computer that lets you connect with your loved ones.On the other hand, however, if ownership is pursued with intent, where utility is valued and where technology extends the body in a way that adds leverage, then it has a lot to offer.This kind of thinking requires a person to evaluate their actual relationship, the source of their connection, to the technologies they own and interact with. What is the meaning they gain from something? (This also applies to apps or websites within each technology.)A good way to evaluate utility is to see if a thing seamlessly and fluidly interacts with your body to give you m ore control over your surroundings, rather than them controlling you.A car, for example, very easily gets you to where you want to go better than having to walk there. Its a seamless and fluid interaction, and in most cases, it doesnt rule your life.Social media, however, is built to nudge your brain in ways that create habit-forming behaviors. And rather than the body ruling it, in many cases, it rules the body and your life.Humans create meaning from connection. And we implicitly go through life attaching meanings we arent even aware of to different technologies, from clothes to phones.Maximizing utility is about unmasking meaning to see if it adds the value we assume it does.The takeawayOne of Marshall McLuhans most enduring phrases isThe medium is the message.Given the state of technologies today, the medium that you use to consume your content (whether that be news or some other utility you gain from a technology) shapes more of what you take away and understand than the actual content that you are consuming.There is a difference between getting your news from an old-fashioned newspaper, which is a very individual act, than there is getting your news from a website, which is a tribal act.The reason is that technologies become a part of our bodies, and this symbiotic relationship serves a certain function, which transcends whatever surface-level relationship we assume.Today, we are increasingly being ruled by our technologies rather than the other way around. Part of this has to do with how we have been creating technologies in recent decades, but another part is that we simply arent literate enough to manage our relationship.Any technology, from clothing to a computer, either augments the body in a beneficial way, or it hinders the body in a way that decouples its intention from that of the mind.If you do the work to evaluate your relationships with the different technologies in your life, and the different purposes they serve, you can maximize the utilit y you gain from them.Much of the meaning in life emerges out of the connections we form to the technologies that extend our bodies. To better nourish this meaning, we have to better understand them.Want to think and live smarter?

6 Ways to Give Your Employees a Reason to Stay - Spark Hire

6 Ways to Give Your Employees a Reason to Stay - Spark HireThats the third employee to put in their two-week notice in the last couple of weeks. What are we doing wrong? Is there something we can do to keep our workers from quitting?The first thing you should ask yourself if this is happening at your workplace is this Do my employees feel respected and valued? Employees often leave even high paying jobs because they dont feel that management cares about them, their ideas are being ignored, and their careers arent going anywhere. Here are six things you can do to help your employees overcome these negative feelings and know they are respected and valued.1. Have actual conversationsWith the conveniences of the digital age, so much communication takes place via emails, texts, and voicemails that employers dont get to know their employees, and employees dont get to actually communicate with their employers. This is a huge problem in many workplaces. When possible, have everyday conversat ions with your employees so they know you see them and that they arent as invisible as they may sometimes feel.2. Share informationUndervalued employees complain that they are always out of the loop they dont really feel like team players anymore. They wish their employers would share more information with them, hold meetings where they are included, and take the time to listen to their concerns. Collaboration gives employees a chance to feel like their ideas and contributions matter. When collaboration is common in the workplace, keeping employees becomes a little easier.3. Listen to concerns and be ready to actMany employees feel like they arent really being heard. When employees feel ignored, their job satisfaction and performance goes down. To show you are truly listening, set up suggestion boxes where workers can share immediate concerns or problems they see going on in the workplace. There should be a regular cut-off date for when the suggestions need to be shared (weekly, biw eekly, monthly, etc.), and problems should be addressed immediately to show employees their bosses are listening.4. Give opportunities to review leadership and be willing to improveYou can also step up and prove you really care through holding biannual performance reviews where not only the employee is reviewed, but where you are reviewed as well. As a caveat, with these bi-directional meetings, you need to be willing to act on suggestions as to how you can better lead, just as employees must step up and make their own changes in order to succeed.5. Offer rewards and recognitionEmployees feel respected and valued when you offer an employee reward and recognition system for contributions and achievements. Rewards include monetary incentives such as bonuses and tuition benefits that motivate workers to reach further and work harder than they normally would and non-monetary incentives such as advanced training or more flexible work schedules to encourage excellence.When employees are r ecognized for their accomplishments and rewarded for their value to a company, productivity and morale increases. Its a win-win situation for both you and employers. Recognition can be as simple as offering a thank you for their contributions to a project or presenting an award to them for overall productivity. The important thing is to show respect and help employees feel valued. Keeping employees who feel valued and respected is much easier than keeping employees when they feel unimportant and unnoticed. 6. Offer opportunities to advanceNo hope for future advancement is one reason employees leave their respective companies. When you dont recognize the unique strengths and qualities of their employees and give them opportunities to reach their potentials and receive promotions, they send a message to employees that they arent worth investing in. When you work with employees to set career goals and come up with actionable ways to achieve them, however, employees feel respected and v alued.If youre having trouble keeping employees, take a step back and assess your actions as an employer. If youre not having actual conversations with your employees, sharing information with them, listening to their concerns and working to make changes, improving your leadership skills, offering employees rewards and recognition, and offering them opportunities to advance, then youre not giving your employees the respect they deserve, nor are you showing them they are valued. Do these six thingsmake these changesand watch your employee satisfaction rise.About the AuthorRobert Cordray is a business consultant and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience and a wide variety of knowledge in multiple areas of the industry.

What to Know About the Latest in Payroll Technology

What to Know About the Latest in Payroll TechnologyWhat to Know About the Latest in Payroll TechnologyDigital transformation is a term that can make some payroll professionals ill at ease. At the very least, it means learning a new platform. But advances in payroll technology can also mean some job responsibilities will be automated - a cause for worry about job security.The current wave of digital transformation is especially disruptive, and payroll departments across the country are affected - but its really nothing a savvy payroll specialist should find suspicious.Technology has and will continue to change the way you work, but it will also create new opportunities. Motivated professionals can ride this wave and land themselves a more rewarding - and possibly higher-paying - job than before.Robert Halfs Benchmarking the Accounting and Finance Function report offers a definitive overview of the current state of IT within the world of finance. To get ahead in your field, here ar e four trends in payroll technology you should know about1. annahme an kindes statt of cloud-based ERPThe latest Benchmarking data shows more and more companies are moving to cloud systems. Seventy-five percent of the U.S. finance professionals surveyed say their company has already made the transition or plans to do so in the near future, compared with 72 percent in 2017 and 62 percent the year before that. For payroll teams, this may mean leaving their existing software platform and adopting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems in the cloud.Cloud-based systems make it easier to share data, work remotely and stay up to date on the latest tax codes. Companies also like this shift because theres less equipment to buy and maintain. Going forward, having hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Oracle, SAP and other ERPs will be a major asset on any payroll resume.Excel is still the top planning and budgeting tool, beating out the likes of Cognos and Hyperion, but o ur annual benchmarking study shows reliance on Excel is declining slightly - it is used by 63 percent of respondents this year, compared with 69 percent in 2017.2. A move toward data analyticsPowerful new systems like cloud-based ERP software generate vast amounts of data, which, in turn, can offer an unprecedented level of insight into a companys operations. This means a shift in many back-office teams - away from purely functional work and toward a more strategic role. Payroll is a treasure trove of financial and HR data, and management will expect staff to make sense of big data by using payroll analytics tools.3. Increased process automationAutomation has removed much of the rote work from finance and HR teams. A prime example is the self-service benefits portal, which has made it possible for employees to track their own time, update personal information and manage their benefits without ever having to contact another person. Automation has streamlined payroll processing and reconciliation, freeing up staff time for higher-value tasks. It also improves accuracy.The down sides, according to some of the executives surveyed, are the high cost and learning curve of the automation software. But theres no doubt that financial automation is the present and future.Looking for a job in payroll? See the job descriptions and duties for different positions in the payroll department.4. The rise of artificial intelligence Yes, artificial intelligence is related to automation, but its a lot more than that. As part of digital transformation, AI algorithms detect patterns and shifts in big data and analyze them so humans can make sense of it all. Thanks to self-learning, also called deep learning, AI systems can evaluate their past performance to improve future predictions. If you have a weather app on your phone (and who doesnt?), youre benefitting from the powers of AI.In terms of payroll, AI excels at analyzing all sorts of variables - employee classification, age, withholding amounts, and so forth - and can improve accuracy by detecting nonobvious errors in paystubs. Then there are chatbots, which can handle routine employee queries.With automation and AI, the payroll department of the future will undoubtedly have fewer clerks and data enterers. At the same time, staff will still be needed to perform more cognitively demanding and creative tasks. Humans excel at handling nonroutine situations. And dont forget about the human experience thats at the heart of talent management and payroll. No matter how fancy a companys AI program is, people will always crave human interaction in the workplace.The bottom lineThe entire finance industry, including payroll, is undergoing a digital transformation. Its not a matter of if, but when. No one knows exactly what this field will look like in 50 years, but one things for sure today The answer is to not be suspicious of payroll technology. Instead, use it to your advantage so you can become a smarter, bet ter informed and more valuable payroll professional.
