• How can we make sustainable design an unconscious effort?

  Susan Mulholland Interior Design, Furnishings & Fixtures

  Sustainability is a word that is used a lot these days. Our built environment is constantly being evaluated for how sustainable it is. Architects and interior designers who are regularly practicing the principles of sustainability will tell you it isn't about the placard on the wall, the number of LEED points they can get or how many LEED platinum buildings they design. They do it because it is ethically the right thing to do.

• Where is the talk about public education?

  Bambi Majumdar Education

  When election time rolls around, candidates spar over a wide range of issues. However, it is rather strange to see the absence of heated discussion about public education in this year's presidential race. As Joel Gagne put it in his recent article for The Huffington Post, public education ​seems to have taken a back seat in this election. Furthermore, there are two distinct trends we notice about the education world now: a lack of reform efforts and a tendency for administration-bashing whenever the opportunity lands itself.

  Emma Fitzpatrick Marketing

• Business buzzwords: Par 4 with a dogleg to the left

  Paul Zukowski Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  When I began this article on business buzzwords that come from golf, I thought I'd get a lot of examples using "par." It's such a cool word. However, I soon realized "par" has at least three definitions, and expressions such as "Not up to par," "Not on a par with," and "The goods are subpar" had nothing to do with golf, where being below par on a hole is a good thing. Golfers would never say one hole was on a par with another — they'd say they had the same par. And so on.

• Medicare can actually push HEMS toward rationality

  Mark Huber Healthcare Administration

  Many would argue that the helicopter air ambulance industry in the U.S. as currently constructed is economically irrational and unsustainable. Too many helicopters, flying too few hours, charging patients whatever they like and a political backlash not far in the distance. The question is, what can we do about it?

• Research: More access to treatment for opioid use is needed

  Dr. Abimbola Farinde Pharmaceutical

  ​The prevalence of opioid misuse has increased substantially, which can be largely attributed to the increased prescribing of opioids in the United States. Opioid use disorder is recognized as a chronic and relapsing illness that can be associated with increased morbidity and mortality if not identified and treated.

• Comforting our pets when they are under the weather

  Hope Barton Pet Care

  Itchy eyes, a runny nose and a sore throat are all too familiar for those of us who suffer from allergies. Although the changing of seasons is a welcome sight for many, the onslaught of pollen and mold can all too literally cause headaches. But next time you reach for a tissue, keep in mind you might not be the only one suffering. According to Vetinfo, "allergies may affect up to half of American dogs," and research show cats are similarly affected.

  Matt Falcus Transportation Technology & Automotive

  The decision on the United Kingdom's future membership of the European Union was made overnight with news breaking about the "Brexit" as most of the country awoke June 24.
