Mobile marketing statistics 2018 "Mobile to overtake fixed Internet access by 2014" was the huge headline summarising the bold prediction from 2008 by Mary Meeker, an analyst at Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers who reviews technology trends annually in May. Eric Schmidt of Google exhorted businesses to take a 'Mobile First' approach to designing web experiences. Today, according to the latest Digital Future in Focus report from comScore, we're long past this tipping point in some countries with India, Mexico and Indonesia having more than up to 4 times higher smartphone vs desktop audience.

The "New" Tactile Turn Mover and Shaker Pens - A Review — The Clicky Post The Shaker comes with the Easy Flow 9000, one of my favorite Parker refills, but can now also accept the popular P8126 rollerball (which I swapped into mine) which is a major plus. The Mover comes fitted with the 0.38mm Pilot G2 refill, a great refill for small letter writers, but a wide variety of refills can be swapped in like the Pilot Juice, or the Pilot Precise V7 which I loaded into mine. While writing, not sure why but the Mover tends to have a little more tip movement (although minimal...) than the Shaker. Perhaps this is due to the spring being used. I am fairly sensitive to this and can say that even though there is some movement, it isn't on the offensive end of the spectrum. With some pens it is like you're broadcasting morse code with the amount of "clicking" the tip does... These are definitely Mover and Shaker 2.0 versions. These new pens can be found and backed on Will's current Kickstarter campaign that runs through November.
untitled Ruoan tuottamisen ympäristörasituksesta, hävikistä ja resurssiviisaasta kiertotaloudesta puhutaan paljon. ”Myös ravintolapuolella tapahtuu: Nolla, Loop, ja mm. Ultima eivät tarjoa vain aterioita vaan myös osallistumisen suurempaan eettiseen tarinaan”, kirjoittaa Viiden Tähden päätoimittaja Eeropekka Rislakki. Michelin-tähti -tasollakaan Ora ja Ask eivät valitse luomua vain siksi, että se maistuu usein parhaalta, vaan luomun käyttö nähdään kestävän kehityksen mukaisena tekona. Silti vastuu maailmaa muuttavista ratkaisuista näyttää olevan pienen harrastajajoukon sekä muutaman ravintola-ammattilaisen käsissä, jotka yrittävät luoda konsepteja, jotka toimisivat myös liiketoiminnan näkökulmasta. Ravintolat Nolla ja Ultima edustavat ajattelua, jonka povataan muuttavan ruoan tuotannon logiikan kaupungistuvassa maailmassa – viimein Suomessakin tapahtuu. Siksi Nollassa ei käytetä raaka-aineita, jotka on pakattu muoviin. Yritykset kuten ravintolat ovat kuluttajaa vastaava yksittäinen toimija.
Education The Fleeting Magic of Scholastic Book Fairs Years later, many adults still pine for the days their school libraries, auditoriums, and gyms transformed into pop-up bookstores. The Media’s Week-Long Attention Span for a Mass Shooting There’s a common refrain that the dense news environment pushes out coverage of mass shootings, but the cycle has been remarkably consistent over the past two decades. Michelle Obama’s College Experience Is All Too Familiar for Minority Students “Princeton was extremely white and very male. There was no avoiding the facts.” College Is Different for the School-Shooting Generation At this point in history, college-aged Americans—who, for the most part, were born in the late ‘90s—don’t remember a time when school gun violence wasn’t a widely feared threat.
Garden of Extinct Flowers | Affidavit March 26, 2018 “Heirs to a civilization that is thousands of years old and rich in untold economic possibilities, we stand ready to continue in the total recovery of our personalities.” - Pan-African Cultural Manifesto, 1969 We languidly watched the watery movement of time; now, we see a wave on the horizon. During the several hundred years that Europeans dominated the other peoples of the world, we also dominated the water, the forests, the terrain of the world. The interlocking set of problems we call climate change is the ultimate intersectionality, touching each and every one of us, but in unique ways alluding to our own subject position—artist, surfer, criminal. What’s called climate change is not only one change, really, but a web of changes which will ultimately exacerbate the already existing disparities in access to resources. Ethiopian Airlines Is this man a colonist? Kaapstad After a brief layover in Addis Ababa, we continued on to Cape Town. What made this art African?

Beached Houses — Michael Sorkin Studio The beached houses – slug, carp, and ray – were designed for a site near the sea in Jamaica and are another exercise in biomorphic bilateralism. Although they are inspired by marine creatures rather than mammalians, they beg the same questions of symmetry and, in the case of the carp, of elevation. They differ from the Animal Houses in having much lighter frames and were intended to be built from small members with a light – and lightly stressed – metal skin. The houses engage the idea of representational motility via a somewhat more fluid – if mild – asymmetry and via the idea of the wiggle, an integral distortion of symmetry produced via respiration, motion, or some other life process. Thus, the tail of the ray is caught as it swings to swim, the carp begins to turn, the slug creeps along. The project called for three houses of each type and the site plan catches them in a net of palm trees. Credits: Michael Sorkin, Ame Englehart, Kent Hikida Photo: Seth Rubin
Our new international movement will fight rising fascism and globalists | Yanis Varoufakis Our era will be remembered for the triumphant march of a globally unifying rightwing – a Nationalist International – that sprang out of the cesspool of financialised capitalism. Whether it will also be remembered for a successful humanist challenge to this menace depends on the willingness of progressives in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom as well as countries like Mexico, India and South Africa, to forge a coherent Progressive International. Our task is not unprecedented. That injection of self-esteem was accompanied by warnings against the lurking “alien” who threatened their revived hope. Is this not how Donald Trump first conquered the White House and is now winning the discursive war against a Democratic party establishment? But enough of the diagnosis. Our generation’s 1929, which occurred in 2008, shattered this illusion. And who is going to piece together this desperately needed Progressive International? Let us begin today.
Reading Resources - Four Minute Books Reading isn’t exactly a complex activity. All you need is a good book or blog post and you’re good to go. That said, there are a few tools and resources you can use to make it easier on your eyes and hands. What’s more, there are lots of things you can do to work on reading as a skill. Since I’ve gathered a lot of them over the years, here’s a list of my favorite reading resources. Resources For Reading Physical Books Markers: Never read without a Sharpie at hand. Reading lamp: I have a bedside lamp with a gooseneck you can bend around. Bookmark: You can literally use anything to keep track of where you are in a book, like a piece of paper or a post-it note, but a physical bookmark can be a nice personal touch. Resources For Reading On Screens Kindle: I get physical books whenever I can, but at times my Kindle has been a lifesaver. Blinkist: My book summary service of choice. Spritz: If you want an innovative way to read online, Spritz may be for you. Pocket: Timing matters. What Else?

Illuminating Engineering Society The Advanced Energy Design Guide series provides a sensible approach to easily achieve advanced levels of energy savings without having to resort to detailed calculations or analysis. The four-color guides offer contractors and designers the tools, including recommendations for practical products and off-the-shelf technology, needed for achieving a 30% energy savings compared to buildings that meet the minimum requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999. The energy savings target of 30% is the first step in the process toward achieving a net-zero energy building, which is defined as a building that, on an annual basis, draws from outside resources equal or less energy than it provides using on-site renewable energy sources. These guides have been developed through the collaboration of ASHRAE, the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES), and the U.S.
Welcome to cycle heaven: why we moved our family to the Netherlands | Cities Before I’m out of bed, our 15-year-old slams the door and jumps on her bike, heading for school and meeting friends along the way. Last week, our eight and 13-year-olds attended four parties between them. They scoffed the obligatory birthday sugar, went bowling, shot lasers, played mini-golf and patted sheep – travelling to and from all of these activities by bike. There wasn’t a helmet or scrap of hi-vis between them. This is daily life in Houten, a suburb of Utrecht in the Netherlands. Spend any time here and you’ll soon see hordes of kids riding their bikes to gym lessons, parties, after-school care or sports activities through wind, rain or shine. This lifestyle drew us to the Netherlands from Britain. Now we’re Houtenaars, citizens of a world-renowned cycling suburb studied by future town planners around the globe. Architect Rob Derks designed Houten to prioritise pedestrians and cyclists over motorists. Here, good public space and architecture is for everyone.
