  The Phone Fix - The...

  What is really happening in your brain when you use your phone, and how to harness it. 
   
  Humans are often fearful of the day the world will be ruled by machines, but have they not already taken over? The average person spends 4-5 hours a day on their phone, about a third of the time they are awake. We self-interrupt our work and social lives, forgo sleep, procrastinate important tasks and opt for digital distraction when we're bored or feel uncomfortable. 
   
  NHS neurology doctor and neuroscientist Faye Begeti describes what is happening in our brain when we use our phones and why we have formed so many fixed and negative habits around them. She reflects on both deliberate choices and automatic behaviours, whilst also challenging myths around digital 'addiction', how dopamine actually works and the harmfulness of blue light. 
   
  Rather than recommending a quick fix digital diet, or total abstinence - unviable for most people - The Phone Fix offers a practical guide, based on neuroscientific techniques, on building supportive digital habits. Technology is not inherently bad or frightening and by better understanding what is happening in our brains, we can replenish our willpower and improve our focus, forming a healthier relationship with our phones ¬- and therefore the real people around us.

  Are you a web designer interested in learning more about user experience? 
  Would you like to customize your website to suit your customers' needs and optimize their user experience? 
  Are you looking to get more details on the various resources used in optimizing user experience? 
  User experience, or UX, can be defined as any interaction with a service or a product. How the user feels, navigates, and completes the desired task are considered. UX design considers every component of the interaction. This principle can be applied to anything. The purpose of UX Design is to provide users with experiences that are simple, relevant, efficient, and enjoyable. 
  Consider heading to your favorite grocery store. You want to buy something, so you stroll down the aisles (how are they spaced?), listen to music (what sort of music and why?), inspect the shelf (is it made of wood, metal, or plastic?), interact with a cashier, and then leave. Everything in this easy and insignificant procedure is based on experience. You've interacted with an entire brand, including colors, feelings, music, arrangements, workers, and so on. Everything is based on personal experience. It is the same case with user experience in web design. 
  User experience has become an essential component of web design. 
  Why? 
  It is because web designers have realized that customers and other website users prefer using seamless platforms that are easy to use and learner-friendly.  
  Is it now easy for you to understand the need to enhance your user experience design skills as a web designer or developer? 
  What are you waiting for? 
  Grab a copy of this informative book, develop the user experience skills you need, and make your customers happy!

  Manifesto for the Revitalisation...

  • 0

  The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
  The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
  The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
  It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.

  Before he became one of America’s most influential environmental voices, John Muir was a curious Scottish immigrant boy growing up on the Wisconsin frontier. This honest and vivid memoir traces his journey from a strict religious upbringing to the early stirrings of a lifelong love for nature. 
  In simple yet moving detail, Muir recalls farm life, his inventive mechanical creations, and the challenges of a hard pioneer existence. What shines through is his relentless curiosity about the natural world and the quiet strength that would later shape the U.S. conservation movement. 
  A compelling read for fans of nature writing, American history, and personal memoirs, this book offers a glimpse into the early mind of the man who helped inspire the creation of Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Club.
