Years before these events, a stuck valve regulating the supply of coolant to a nuclear reactor nearly resulted in the meltdown of a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. In each of these cases, poor or inadequate sleep was one of the factors that contributed to the failure. Even if you are not an engineer working in one of those contexts, the odds are pretty good that you occasionally get a poor night’s sleep. In fact, over one-third of American adults sleep less than the suggested minimum seven hours a night and two-thirds of American teens sleep less than their minimum recommended eight hours. Even for those with good sleep hygiene, there is one time of year when you are likely to be

What the Evolution of Contactless Payments Means for You

 Some people go shopping for the shopping “experience.” But for those of us who shop as little as humanly possible — and as quickly as possible — technology is making it increasingly easier for us to remove “shopping” from the equation and get right to the point: buying. PauseUnmute Fullscreen VDO.AI A world where you can walk into a store, pick up your items and walk out without any contact with a human being or a terminal has already arrived. If you live in Seattle, New York or San Francisco, you’ve likely seen Amazon Go convenience and grocery stores that have completely removed the need for cashiers or checkout terminals. There are no self-checkout terminals either, which as we all know, still require a cashier 85% of the time.  Whether that image conjures up thrill, skepticism or fear in the hearts of consumers, the fact is that it’s already happening — and fast.  Related: Future of Cash: Impact of Covid-19 on Payments What is the difference between contactless and contact-free?

Don't Let Doubts Absorb Your Organization — Use Them to Grow as a Leader

 No matter who you are or what you do, there will be times that you question whether you’re on the right path. The problem is that doubt can permeate your organization if you lack the necessary conviction to move the business forward. André Spicer, a professor at City University London, recently theorized that doubt causes leaders to respond in one of four ways: cling to existing beliefs, cease organizational investment, project a vision of the future that leaves no room for doubt or begin to experiment and innovate. None of these responses is inherently wrong. And depending on your organization, one approach might better suit your employees. The key to determining the best course of action is acknowledging that you don’t always have the answers. Once you accept that fact and learn from leaders facing similar challenges, you can begin to broaden your perspective. You might have stumbled into a leadership role, but there’s a reason why you’re at the helm of your organization. Your next

SpaceX Astronauts Will Not Have Working Toilet on Flight Home

  The four astronauts on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule will need to use “undergarments” to relieve themselves on their trip home from the International Space Station, according to Steve Stich, NASA’s Commercial Crew Program manager. The problem, he said Friday, is the spacecraft’s bathroom.  JIM WATSON | Getty Images Two other Crew Dragon capsules have returned from the International Space Station with people on board. One of them took 19 hours to return. The other took six. Related: SpaceX Crew-3 Launch Pushed Back It is not clear how long the four astronauts --  NASA's Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, the European Space Agency’s Thomas Pesquet and Japan’s Akihiko Hoshide -- will be on the capsule without a working toilet.  Per CNN, the issue with the toilet was first identified during the Inspiration4 mission in September. When the issue arrises, it is because the tube that transfers urine becomes unglued, allowing it to find its way away from the designated storage tank in the

Biden announces sweeping methane plan – here's why cutting the greenhouse gas is crucial for protecting climate and health

Image
  President Joe Biden announced a sweeping new U.S. plan for reducing emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, at the UN climate summit on Nov. 2, 2021, and he urged countries to join a global pledge to cut methane emissions 30% this decade. Vanderlei Almeida/AFP via Getty Images - The Conversation The U.S. plan includes proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules designed to limit methane emissions from new and existing oil and gas sources. It also proposes rules for monitoring methane leaks and expanding pipeline safety standards. Other initiatives target methane from agriculture and landfills. The moves are a big deal for efforts to slow climate change – and also for health. While methane isn’t as abundant as carbon dioxide, it’s a far more potent greenhouse gas at warming the planet and also a source of unhealthy air pollution. Drew Shindell, a climate scientist and physicist who led a recent U.N. report on methane, explains the urgency and how the benefits of reducing met

American Airlines Has Cancelled More Than 2,000 Flights Since Friday

 Since Friday, thousands of American Airlines passengers have had to change plans as the airline has canceled more than 2,000 flights. The airline canceled 1,700 flights over the weekend and another 300 flights on Monday. The problems peaked on Sunday, when it canceled more than 1,000 flights — totaling over a third of its scheduled flights for the day. American Airlines wrote in a staff letter on Saturday that these cancellations were because of high wind gusts on Thursday, which limited capacity at its Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport hub. This prevented some crew members from being in position for their next flights. “This weather drove a large number of cancellations at DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport), as we could only use two runways instead of the usual five that handle our operation,” the letter says. “With additional weather throughout the system, our staffing begins to run tight as crew members end up out of the regular flight sequences.” Related: American
