A small community of 3D printed concrete houses is coming to the city of Eindhoven in Netherland. Project Milestone is about five houses built sustainability using 3D printing. The builder claim that they are the first 3D printed houses that one can actually live in. They look like five stones that have landed in future. Though 3D printing is effective with objects produced in large quantities, this housing society shows that custom manufacturing has arrived. What is the fascinating project? The Dutch city of Eindhoven is set to be the first in the world to have habitable homes made by a 3D printer, in an innovation its backers believe will revolutionize the construction industry. Of the first five new houses to be put on the rental market next year, the smallest, with two bedrooms, has already attracted applications from 20 interested families just a week after images were made available. This isn’t just a technology demonstrator. The initiative attempts to s...

Uber has been given a 15-month probationary license to operate in London by a Judge after the ride-sharing service worked out most of its differences with regulators. The 15-month reprieve is far less than the five-year private hire license the company had previously received. Still, this is being considered “a big victory” for the company.  What is the good news for Uber? Uber will be able to continue operating in London, after a court decided the ride-hailing firm should be awarded a new 15-month probationary license, after being told of sweeping changes to its practices. The ride-hailing firm’s future in one of its biggest global markets had been in jeopardy after Transport for London (TfL), the authority that regulates transport in London, ruled last September that it was not “fit and proper” to hold a private hire vehicle operator license. At the start of a two-day hearing, Uber admitted that London’s original decision not to renew its five-ye...

Stay Away from Toxic People Toxic individuals are completely exhausting to be around and they can have a negative impact on your forward momentum. ❇ 1. Those who are judgmental Judgmental people will find a way to criticize anything and everything they come in contact with. You could take the time to explain something to them in great detail but it goes in one ear and out the other. They come to their conclusions before they hear any facts -- they don’t listen well and are horrible at communicating. ❇ 2. Those who are envious Being an entrepreneur can be a very bumpy journey filled with highs and lows -- while it’s important to have a strong group of supporters in your corner during the low times it’s also important to have supporters that are there to congratulate you when you hit the high points. Envious people will not be happy for you -- ever. ❇ 3. Those who are arrogant Don’t confuse confidence with arrogance -- confident people inspire, while arr...

Wondering which mapping app to guide you through your next journey? Google Maps is far and away the world's favorite, but savvy drivers also talk up Waze for its crowd-sourced traffic and alert features. Decisions, decisions. Fortunately, both are available for free on iOS and Android. Both also happen to be owned by Google, though they're designed to suit different scenarios. And iPhone owners will be pleased to note that, beginning with iOS 12, Google Maps and Waze will be supported through Apple's CarPlay, as the infotainment system opens up to third-party mapping software.

Google Maps Waze Best For Public Transportation, Exploration, Walking, Bicycling Driving Commuting Pros Extensive features set, Ride sharing integration; Publi...

This misperception is actually very convenient because it relieves everybody of the need to do anything about fostering creativity. If it is only available as a natural talent, then there is no point in seeking to do anything about creativity. That some people are naturally creative does not mean that such people would not be even more creative with some training and techniques. Nor does it mean that other people can never become creative. Natural talent vs. hard work is a topic that has been debated by people of all professions throughout history. It’s also known as Nature vs. Nurture, the difference between one’s innate ability vs. ability affected by personal experiences. The term “talented" or “gifted” is often mentioned in the artistic field. The achievements of artists, both in fine art and performing art are more obvious and visible. I have yet to find the reason why people have the need for such debate or self-awareness. Perhaps for some, it’s to gain s...

·                       Listening to happy music at work can help your complete task more quickly, especially if you’re doing something repetitive such as checking e-mail or filing documents. One study showed that the accuracy and efficiency of surgeons improved when they worked with the music of their choice in the background. Cornell University researchers also found that upbeat tunes help workers cooperate and make group decisions that contribute to the good of the team. ·          Music decreases levels of the stress hormone cortisol just as well as massage therapy does, according to a small 2017 study. Scientist randomly assigned anxious patients to listen to music either during massage therapy or while lying in a dim room. After three months, those who just listened to music experienced the same drop in anxiety as those who also got massages. ·     ...

WHEN IT COMES TO physical activity, the more you do, the more you can do. Perhaps you’re already aware of that because you’ve incorporated exercise into your daily routines and revel in the way it makes you look and feel. Or maybe you believe those days are behind you, and you simply remember how wonderful life was when you were vigorous and active. Even though we know we need exercise to remain healthy, most of us don’t get the necessary amount, and we’re paying for that in countless physiological and psychological ways. According to a Statistics report from 2015, a mere 18 per cent of adults aged 40 to 59 and 12 per cent of those aged 60 and above meet the guidelines for moderate to vigorous physical activity, defined as 150 minutes of medium- to high- intensity aerobic exercise per week in bouts of 10 minutes or more. The cost of this exercise deficit is enormous, for both individuals and society. Many of us are aging faster than we should due to poor diet and exercise ...
