Will Drivers Licenses Be Needed In The Future

Thanks to advances in technology, everyday tasks continue to get easier and easier for society. For many, the idea of self-driving cars seems like a technology that would only be available to the general public in the far distant future. In recent years however, a handful of companies have been making investments to make this seemingly unimaginable innovation possible. Having already completed 300,000 test drive miles without incident using its driverless car, Google is one such company that has been working hard to bring the concept of self-driving vehicle technology to fruition. In addition, other companies have developed similar technology that is changing the way drivers operate their vehicles—like autonomous parking, advanced GPS systems, and integrated obstacle avoidance and detection systems. In the following infographic, we outline additional information about driverless cars, introduce other examples of other car technology currently being introduced to the public, and discuss what’s in store for the future of driving and transportation. - See more at: http://www.dmvcheatsheets.com/articles/infographic-will-drivers-licenses-be-needed-in-the-future#sthash.ZOmzPRNL.dpuf

Holiday Gift Baskets 101

Basket weaving is one of the oldest crafts of human civilization. According to scholars, one of the earliest accounts of a gift coming in a basket is in the story of the pagan goddess Eostre, who carried a basket of young plants to be used as a sacred offering. Although the act of giving gifts in baskets is an old tradition, it has evolved greatly over time to meet the needs of our ever-changing society. Today, the largest amount of gift baskets are sold and given away during popular holidays like Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Valentine’s Day.

The Economic Value of Business Signage

Working every day with clients in conceptualizing, designing, fabricating, and installing one-of-a-kind signage that beautifully presents their brand, we are always interested in data points that show the financial impact that enhanced signage can have on a business. As such, we were really interested to come across a recent study conducted by the University of Cincinnati and the Economics Center that analyzed the economic value of on-premise signage.

Reading through the paper, there is a wealth of information and data points, in addition to some very impactful case studies. As a fun exercise, we thought it might be useful to try and visually present just a bit of this great information through our latest infographic that you can see below.

Some Deaths Are Preventable

Life expectancy continues to increase with advancing healthcare, but there are still a prominent number of preventable deaths each year. The causes range from unhealthy eating to lack of physical activity, both of which contribute to the two main causes of preventable deaths in the United States: heart disease and diabetes.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, which is the developed country with the worst preventable death rate. It’s an alarming statistic considering the advanced nature of U.S. medical care. In the U.S., 32% of women under the age of 75 die from preventable deaths, while 23% of men under 75 suffer the same fate.

Despite advances in modern medicine, the U.S. is improving its preventable death rate at a slower rate than any other developed country. Inactivity and poor diet are the primary culprits, exacerbated by U.S. tendencies for easily accessible fast food and conveniences.

Dinner's Around The World

Dinner: it’s one of the world’s favorite meals of the day. According to research, 43 percent of families in the U.S. eat dinner together every evening. Americans eat out approximately 1.4 times per week. When Americans do leave the house for a professionally prepared meal, they tend to visit Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Pizza, and Thai restaurants most often. So how do our dinner eating habits compare to the rest of the world? You might be surprised to learn about some of the differences. In Nepal, for example, many people eat while sitting on the floor in a meditating position. In France, dinner can often be served as late as 10 P.M. In Spain, the meal served in the evening is often lighter than other meals eaten during the day. The following infographic outlines how dinner is prepared, served, and consumed in other parts of the world.

Tales From The Graveyard Shift

According to a recent study, one in five employees in the U.S. works during the evening, at night, or on rotating shifts. As scary as working the “graveyard shift” might seem to you, there are a number of reported advantages to working through the night. Night shift workers spend about 4.4 hours per day with their children, which is about 30 minutes per day more than day workers. More time during the day also means it can be easier to run errands, take care of personal matters, and spend more time in the sun. Working the night shift isn’t for everyone though. One study reports that 29% of male night shift workers are dissatisfied with their job situation, compared to 19% of males who work during the day. In addition, some studies have found that there are certain health risks associated with working at night for a prolonged period of time. In the following infographic, we’ll outline more advantages and disadvantages of working the graveyard shift, what industries you can find night shift work in, and additional research that relates to night shift work in the U.S.

History of Life Insurance

External image

History is not always as certain as we would like. The way in which the world worked centuries ago is known in outline, but we often only see highlights. So, for example, there have been versions of life insurance for more than two thousand years. It all began in Ancient Rome when military leaders faced the problem of high-cost funerals. Their families were expected to pay for major events. Their solution was to contribute into a fund that would pay for their funerals should they die unexpectedly when fighting wars.

This was translated into something more recognizably life insurance by John Graunt in 1662. He was a statistician and noticed predictable patterns in mortality. In the 1760’s, life insurance crossed the Atlantic and was offered in Charleston, South Carolina. This was not controversial and spread throughout America. However, when the Civil War broke out, the life insurance industry decided to pay out no matter which side the deceased supported. This openhanded approach became the basis of the Social Security programs we know today.

The next major event occurred in 1904 when the Central Life Insurance Company issued a policy covering a woman. The rest, as people say, is history. The basics were in place and all that followed just added details like the first claimants who died in an air crash, computerization, and so on. No doubt there will be something spectacular to add to the list tomorrow.

Why Should You Choose A Custom Design For Your Business

Design – the language, which we use to tell the world about our product, solution or proposition. The success of the design at the targeted audience of the project depends on how “literately” we will build the phrase. If we try to explain it using a foreign language, then we will build the phrase totally wrong way, violating grammar rules, sentence structure, as well as interchange the keywords position, unlikely to understand us. That is to say totally won’t understand, or may understand something totally different, something we didn’t mean at all. And even can take offense.

The Good Immune Guide

The immune system is the body’s last line of defence against infection and disease - and it needs a little help from your lifestyle.

Just like the rest of your body, a bit too much alcohol, not sleeping well and stress ruin your body’s ability to fight off disease and infection - and the likes of echinacea, green tea and simple relaxation techniques can turn it all around.

So, take some advice from Dr Margaret Ritchie, Alison Cullen and A.Vogel, and make sure your immune system is in tip-top shape before the Winter.
