Doctor: I Fought Ebola. Here's How We Conquer Coronavirus

 Posted on August 14, 2024  |  4 minutes  |  693 words  |  Billy Koelling

One of the most important lessons I learned from fighting the Ebola outbreak in Liberia is that you have to prepare before an epidemic has reached your doorstep. You have less to lose if you make adequate preparations and don’t get hit than by waiting for the disease. By then you could be overwhelmed and not able to contain it. Early preparation is key. In the current pandemic, things are getting scarier every day in Liberia. [Read More]

In today's world this is not an easy task, but it turns out that there are so-called blue zones, i.e. regions on Earth whose inhabitants get sick less and live longer. How do they do it? And what effect does the amount of coffee they drink have on their longevity? In 2005, American writer, Dan Buettner, published a book titled Blue Zones in Practice, which was a collection of observations from his many years of traveling to places where people live the longest.

 Posted on August 14, 2024  |  2 minutes  |  246 words  |  Patria Henriques

June 11, 2014 10:43 AM EDT In an interview with the Associated Press, Dunkin’ Donuts CEO Nigel Travis says the chain’s sandwiches are snacks, not lunch. “We’re not moving into lunch. We’re in snacking. We never talk about lunch,” said Travis in an interview with the AP. So, apparently that bacon ranch chicken sandwich is just a little pick-me-up to get us through the day? Dunkin’ Donuts’ sandwich options can range from around 360 calories for a grilled chicken flatbread sandwich to 660 calories for the bacon ranch chicken sandwich. [Read More]

Ford Edsel History: Why the Car Flopped

 Posted on August 14, 2024  |  2 minutes  |  272 words  |  Martina Birk

As it turned out, the Edsel was a classic case of the wrong car for the wrong market at the wrong time. It was also a prime example of the limitations of market research, with its “depth interviews” and “motivational” mumbo-jumbo. On the research, Ford had an airtight case for a new medium-priced car to compete with Chrysler’s Dodge and DeSoto, General Motors’ Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick. Studies showed that by 1965 half of all U. [Read More]

Horse in Race Against a Train

August 28, 1830 — Roaring, hissing, growling, clanking, the locomotives of the steam era not only resembled great beasts but were given names to match their status: Big Boys that hurled freight across the craggy American landscape; the UK’s Flying Scotsman; and the Fairy Queen which still occasionally travels the tracks between New Delhi and Alwar in India. But none of this was of great concern to no-nonsense Peter Cooper, the inventor and industrialist who designed and built the first American steam locomotive. [Read More]

How Legacy Work Can Help Us Preserve Our Loved Ones

 Posted on August 14, 2024  |  7 minutes  |  1413 words  |  Billy Koelling

Sometimes when my daughter Caitlin was growing up, images and ideas would sneak into my head before I could squeeze them away. What a headstone might say. The Freddie Mercury music that would accompany a heartbreakingly beautiful video of her life at a memorial service. When she reached adulthood and her quality of life began to deteriorate from the disease she was born with—cystic fibrosis—and it became clear she would need a lung transplant to survive, I laser-focused on the positive: a successful outcome that would allow her to return to independent living.

How Popular Will Your Name Be in 25 Years?

 Posted on August 14, 2024  |  3 minutes  |  530 words  |  Martina Birk

Popular names follow a familiar cycle: They become increasingly common as new parents jump on the bandwagon, only to peak and decline as everyone on the playground starts answering to the same name. Some old standards lie dormant for half a century before gradually returning–hello, Evelyn. Others skyrocket and decline in a few years (that’s you, Miley). Parents who want to stay ahead of the curve have two major things to consider in a name: the present popularity of a name and where in its popularity cycle it currently sits. [Read More]

How to Become a Better Communicator Gchat Text Talking Conversation

 Posted on August 14, 2024  |  7 minutes  |  1391 words  |  Kelle Repass

I grew up in a pretty blunt household — we said what was on our minds and no topic was off-limits. This level of candor meant no silent treatments, no hiding behind slammed doors, and no letting things stew. While honesty has certainly helped me in personal relationships as well at the office, there are times when my dose of truth serum can be a little too potent. Why does talking (something most of us have been doing since infancy) become so difficult sometimes? [Read More]
