  Michael J. Berens Interior Design, Furnishings & Fixtures

  Integrating interactive technologies into interior environments is becoming increasingly common. So, too, is the use of interactive robots in nonindustrial settings. What if you could combine the two to create an interior space that is itself an intelligent, interactive agent? That’s the goal of a project being developed at Cornell University’s Architectural Robotics Lab.

  Michelle R. Matisons Medical & Allied Healthcare

  Recent immigrant mass detentions and deportations, including the practice of family separation and detention of children, have been controversial enough. Now, a new interpretation of the public charge rule, based on a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, will enact changes that some states claim target poor immigrants of color. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that: "The rule will likely increase confusion and fear broadly across immigrant families about using public programs for themselves and their children, regardless of whether they are directly affected by the changes."

  Terri Williams Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  Your employees want you to recognize their hard work and efforts, but a survey of 16,000 professionals in 4,000 companies representing various industries and roles reveals that they may not want to be recognized for only major accomplishments, don’t necessarily want a cash reward, and some would prefer that the recognition didn’t occur in front of everyone in the organization. According to a recent Deloitte Greenhouse survey, most employees (54%) would prefer a verbal "thank you" for day-to-day accomplishments, while 31% would prefer to have that thanks in writing.

• Steps to help close the divisions in our society

  Simma Lieberman Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  According to Forbes magazine, hate crimes in 30 major U.S. cities rose by 9% in 2018. Most of the victims were black, Jewish, LGBT or immigrants. This is serious and not only impacts us in our communities but also in the workplace. Racist rhetoric is on the rise, along with the perpetuation of stereotypes and bullying based on religion, skin color, ethnicity and sexual orientation. What impacts the community impacts the workplace. If people are afraid of being verbally or physically attacked outside of work, they can't be productive at work.

The recent survey revealed that, while young business travelers prefer a buzzing social environment and in-person interactions during regular work hours, they would rather spend their evenings on their own.

• The best and the worst of America’s airports

  Matt Falcus Travel, Hospitality & Event Management

  A new study is gaining a lot of attention as it gives travelers a ranking of the best and worst airports in America. The study published by The Points Guy (TPG) is now in its fourth year, and this time it ranks the top 50 airports in the country. Naturally, the airports at the top and bottom of the pile are receiving plenty of attention. They are San Diego in the top spot and Chicago Midway trailing in last place. While any ranking like this is largely subjective, this year the website made much more use of reader feedback, rather than solely the experiences of its own staff.

• 3 steps to get back to that new employee feeling

  Catherine Iste Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  New employees show up eager, optimistic and open. The blank slate of opportunity at a new job, often combined with the joy of leaving an old job, can be quite inspiring. However, even those among us who truly enjoy our positions tend to face waning enthusiasm every now and again. And the eagerness with which we looked at new opportunities or the bring-it-on attitude with which we faced problems may be even harder to come by. Instead of losing touch with them altogether, take these steps to get back to that new employee feeling.

  John McAdams Recreation & Leisure

  When most people think about hunting gear, certain items probably immediately jump to mind: a rifle, bow, binoculars, ammo, arrows, knife, backpack, boots, etc. Those things are certainly important, but there are a couple of other items you should probably consider taking afield that don’t get quite as much attention. However, don’t discount their value. They can help you stack the odds of success in your favor as much as possible by enabling you to take better care of yourself and your equipment while you’re out hunting.
