Unhappy Employees Outnumber Happy Ones By Two To One Worldwide
If you don’t like your job, you are not alone. According to a massive report released yesterday by Gallup, the Washington, D.C. -
based polling organization, there are twice as many “actively disengaged” workers in the world as there are “engaged” workers
who love their jobs. Since the late 1990s, Gallup has been measuring international employee satisfaction through a survey it has been honing over the
years. In total it has polled 25 million employees in 189 different countries. The latest version, released this week, gathered
information from 230,000 full-time and part-time workers in 142 countries. Overall, Gallup found that only 13% of workers feel engaged by their jobs. That means they feel a sense of passion for their work,
a deep connection to their employement and they spend their days driving innovation and moving their company forward.
The vast majority, some 63%, are “not engaged”, meaning they are unhappy but not drastically so. In short, they’re checked out.
They sleepwalk through their days, putting little energy into their work. A full 24% are what Gallup calls “actively disengaged”, meaning they pretty much hate their jobs. They act out and undermine
what their coworkers accomplish. Fonte: Forbes Magazine. Disponível em: http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/10/10/unhappy-employees-outnumber-happy-ones-by-two-to-oneworldwide/#60bdb6272f29. Acesso em: 28/set/ 2016 (adaptação).

An Exclusive Character Design Gallery from ‘Boy and the
World,’ Opening Today in LA and NYC
By Cartoon Brew Connect | 12/11/2015 5:27 pm | 0
An extraordinary feature from award-winning Brazilian
director, Alê Abreu, Boy and the World looks, thinks, and feels
like no other animated film you’ll see this year.
An urgent critique of industrialization, urbanization, and
consumption, Boy and the World is a morally complex fable set
in a wonderland so imaginative and intricate that you’ll be
tempted to pause at every frame. But Abreu’s kaleidoscopic
visuals — a dizzying mix of hand-drawn animation and cut-out
collage — are only one dimension of his film’s sensory
experience. Its lush sonic landscape, ranging from Brazilian
samba to hip hop, propels your ears, as well as your eyes, deep
into the multicolored fantasy of Abreu’s second feature film.

Last month, University of Washington sophomores Navid Azodi
and Thomas Pryor won the 2016 Lemelson-MIT student prize for
creating “SignAloud” – gloves that recognize the hand gestures of ASL
(American Sign Language) and translate it into text and speech.
The gloves are worn on both hands and contain sensors that record
movement and send data wirelessly via Bluetooth to a central computer,
which interprets words and phrases through a speaker.
The team was one of seven winners in the “Use It” undergraduate category that recognizes technology-
-based inventions to improve consumer devices. They were awarded $10,000. For Azodi, the idea sprang
from personal experience: At 18 months old, a severe seizure took away his speech. “I didn’t speak until
I was seven years old,” he told NBC News. “I used non-verbal communication and basic sign language.
For years, I had to go to speech therapy.” Doctors said Azodi would be handicapped and suggested he
focus on English and sign language. Though he was born in the United States, Azodi’s parents were
from Iran and spoke Farsi. “I understood what it was like to have a communication barrier and I could see
how technology could be a useful tool,” he said. Azodi shared his story and the two inventors “bonded
in problem solving,” according to Pryor, who studies astronautics engineering. Their prototype gloves,
which cost about $100, are lightweight and compact, unlike other devices on the market. “They are a
lot more ergonomic,” Pryor told NBC News. “Some devices use video input for gesture and others have
impractical sensors all over the body. We wanted to focus on something that consumers would buy.”
“We were not really expecting something of this magnitude,” Pryor told NBC News. “It was a personal
project between the two of us and something fun to do. It goes to show what opportunities are around the
corner.” The students reached out to the deaf community to guide them in grammar and syntax and how
the gloves might be used. Pryor said getting feedback had been a “humbling experience.” The gloves
have just as much potential for those who hear and want to learn ASL. They also have medical potential
to help stroke victims during rehabilitation. Since the prize was announced, the students have received
inquiries from investors and manufacturers, some offering technical support. But they caution that the
gloves are just an early prototype and work still needs to be done before they are ready to market. “We
want to take it further, to push it ahead,” Azodi said. “It has such great potential.”

“All right”, said Mr Wonka, “stop here for a moment and catch your breath, and take a peek through the
glass panel of this door. But don’t go in! Whatever you do, don’t go into THE NUT ROOM! If you go in,
you’ll disturb the squirrels!”
“Who says I can’t!” shouted Veruca. “I’m going in to get myself one this very minute!”
The moment she entered the room, one hundred squirrels stopped what they were doing and turned their
heads and stared at her with small black beady eyes. Veruca Salt stopped also, and stared back at them.
Then her gaze fell upon a pretty little squirrel sitting nearest to her at the end of the table. The squirrel
was holding a walnut in its paws.
“All right”, Veruca said, “I’ll have you!”
She reached out her hands to grab the squirrel... but as she did so... in that first split second when her
hands started to go forward, there was a sudden flash of movement in the room, like a flash of brown
lightning, and every single squirrel around the table took a flying leap towards her and landed on her
body.
Twenty-five of them caught hold of her right arm, and pinned it down.
Twenty-five more caught hold of her left arm, and pinned that down.
Twenty-five caught hold of her right leg and anchored it to the ground.
Twenty-four caught hold of her left leg.
And the one remaining squirrel (obviously the leader of them all) climbed up on to her shoulder and
started tap-tap-tapping the wretched girl’s head with its knuckles.
“Save her!” screamed Mrs Salt. “Veruca! Come back! What are they doing to her?”
“They’re testing her to see if she’s a bad nut”, said Mr Wonka. “You watch”.
Veruca struggled furiously, but the squirrels held her tight and she couldn’t move. The squirrel on her
shoulder went tap-tap-tapping the side of her head with his knuckles. Then all at once, the squirrels
pulled Veruca to the ground and started carrying her across the floor.
“My goodness, she is a bad nut after all”, said Mr Wonka. “Her head must have sounded quite hollow”.

How can cities be made more accessible for disabled people?
Europe is an urban continent. The vast majority of the EU population – four out of every five
people – live in a town or city. For the roughly 80 million EU citizens who have some form of
disability, navigating the bustling maze of a city can pose all sorts of challenges. People with
disabilities would often like to be more mobile and independent, so are there better ways to
design cities so they are more accessible for everybody?
There might be no wheelchair lifts on local buses, or no Braille on signposts, or perhaps there
are annoying steps that block people in wheelchairs (or people with prams, or mobility
strollers) from entering a building. Should city planners and architects consider these issues
more carefully? And, where there are accessibility challenges, can technology help us
overcome them?
How can cities be made more accessible? Can new technology help us to achieve that goal?
Let us know your thoughts and comments in the form below and we’ll take them to
policymakers and experts for their reactions!
How can cities be made more accessible for disabled people? I see it the other way around.
How can disabled people adapt better and faster to evolving cities? No offence, but I see it
as a more rational solution.
More rational? We already pay out for expensive wheelchairs and mobility aids as it, without
being expected to pay more. Especially in this era when disabilities benefits are being
stripped away from us. Forward planning is what needed to ensure that all European towns
and cities are accessible to all.
In many European cities the biggest access problem is finding an accessible toilet. Either
because they don’t exist or because they are hard to find.
A good starting point is to start PLANNING! It is as simple as that, PLAN for the accessibility
of disabled and limited mobility people. The European population is aging, in case planners
have not noticed, and they also need and will continue needing more accessibility. There has
been no planning. Only bandaids applied here and there.
It would take a lot more than a few dropped curbs and disabled spaces to make any impact
and to be brutally honest, how can you make things any easier for the disabled when even
the able bodied struggle to negotiate many cities at certain times of the day?
Necessary ramps on beaches! In Greece, they have a University that manufactures specific
ramps beaches and is funded by donors.
Please add to the list accessible toilet facilities.
Maybe Tokio is a good example, but Japan is not. Most train/metro stations do not have a lift.
Hey, we’re living in the 21st century! Isn’t it better to make robotized aids for the people with
disabilities in such a way that they can go anywhere a healthy person can, instead of making
the environment accessible?
Sometimes the issue is having adequate, reliable and affordable transportation accessible to
all in one’s community. I hardly go anywhere because I don’t drive.
