It’s more monitoring the intent to stop, and not actually doing the stopping,” says Kitty Xu, who conducted the research during her doctoral studies... mais »

Francesco BertelliFollow Design Director @ Work & Co, Brooklyn Oct 9 A brief history of calendar designWe are surrounded by objects that have history, that span centuries — and sometimes we completely ignore it. What is the first image you visualize in your head when you think about a calendar? Probably a table with numbers arranged in 7 columns and 5 rows (or 6 row depending on day 1) to display the full month ahead. We use it every day, whether on your phone or on your wall. Same design no matter the medium, the same format has moved from posters to digital apps without any altera... mais »

The Death Value

Aloyzio AchuttiemAMICOR - Há 6 dias
*The Death Value* Without death every birth would be a tragedy. “We die so that others may live, we grow old so that others may be young”, writes the poet Kate Tempest. 1 Yet medicine continues to strive to keep patients with life-limiting illnesses alive, often beyond the point of benefit.
