Ba năm trước, tôi đặt ra thuật ngữ "Quy tắc 5 giờ" sau khi tiến hành một nghiên cứu về những người thành công và bận rộn nhất hành tinh. Tất cả những người này đều có một điểm chung: Họ cố tình dành ra ít nhất 5 giờ mỗi tuần để học. Kể từ đó, tôi đã trình bày Quy tắc 5 giờ cho hơn 5 triệu độc giả. Có tới hai lí do khiến tôi tiếp tục viết về nó: • Tôi tin rằng đó là cách thức then chốt mà ai cũng có thể áp dụng để đảm bảo một sự nghiệp thành công về dài. • Hầu hết mọi người đều không nghiêm túc thực hiện quy tắc này - điều mà đáng lẽ họ nên làm. Gần đây, tôi nhận ra Quy tắc 5 giờ không chỉ còn là một hình mẫu nữa. Nó gần như đã trở thành một quy tắc nền tảng trong thời đại tri thức ngày nay. __ Tủ sách hoành tráng của Spiderum: Các đầu sách bạn có thể quan tâm: - Người trong muôn nghề - Định hướng nghề nghiệp toàn diện: https://shope.ee/AURO9YQc3A - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành IT có gì?: https://shope.ee/9pBhMKT9Oy - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Kinh tế có gì? - Tập 1: https://shope.ee/9UYqxiUQ4w - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Kinh tế có gì? - Tập 2: https://shope.ee/9KFQlPV3Pv - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Sáng tạo - Nghệ thuật có gì?: https://shope.ee/9zV7YdSW47 - Người trong muôn nghề: Ngành Xã hội - Nhân văn có gì?: https://shope.ee/5pfYayiNWK - Mùi mẹ - Món quà dành tặng người phụ nữ yêu thương: https://shope.ee/6AIOzah6qU - DevUP - Phát triển toàn diện sự nghiệp lập trình viên: https://shope.ee/9esHA1Tmjx - Seneca: Những Bức Thư Đạo Đức – Chủ Nghĩa Khắc Kỷ Trong Đời Sống - Tập 1: https://shope.ee/6zrW08ngb2 - Seneca: Những Bức Thư Đạo Đức – Chủ Nghĩa Khắc Kỷ Trong Đời Sống - Tập 2: https://shope.ee/A9oXkwRsj8 - Mở khóa thương mại điện tử Việt Nam: https://shope.ee/5V2iCMjeCI - Doing good better - Làm việc thiện đúng cách: https://shope.ee/6KbpBtgTVV - Động lực nội tại - Làm sao để yêu công việc và đạt đến thành công: https://shope.ee/6UvFOCfqAW - Bước ra thế giới: Cẩm nang du học và săn học bổng: https://shope.ee/5fM8Ofj0rJ - Chuyện người chuyện ngỗng (Vũ Hoàng Long): https://shope.ee/4AXKcUjKAQ __ Hóng các cuộc hội thoại thú vị, nhiều kiến thức bổ ích trên kênh Talk Sâu: https://b.link/talksau Lắng nghe những câu chuyện về thế giới nghề nghiệp cùng podcast Người Trong Muôn Nghề: https://b.link/NTMN-Podcast ______________ Bài viết: Phép toán đằng sau Quy tắc 5 giờ: Lí do bạn cần học 1 giờ mỗi ngày chỉ để không bị bỏ lại đằng sau Được viết bởi: Michael Simmons Link bài viết: https://spiderum.com/bai-dang/Phep-to... ______________ Giọng đọc: Khánh Linh Editor: YOSHY ______________ Bản quyền video: Spiderum Bản quyền nhạc: Youtube Audio Library, Epidemic Sound ______________ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spiderum/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spiderum/support

This week it is the scientists' turn to appear before the Covid Inquiry with Sir Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer and Sir Patrick Vallance. James Heale speaks to Fraser Nelson and The Spectator's data editor, Michael Simmons to discuss the findings this week. 

This week, Michael Simmons looks at the dodgy graph thats justified the second lockdown (00:55), Christopher Howse examines what happened to received pronunciation (05:56), and Melissa Kite wonders whether Surrey's busybodies have followed her and her boyfriend to Cork (14:47).

Presented and produced by Max Jeffery. 

Fraser Nelson speaks to Michael Simmons about the second phase of the Covid inquiry, looking at political governance. Attending the inquiry today was former No.10 aids Dominic Cummings and Lee Cain. 

This week there have been some interesting developments in the public Covid-19 inquiry where scientists and mathematical modellers have been giving testimony on how prepared the government was to tackle the pandemic and how they used expert advise.  Within the sessions, WhatsApp messages revealed that Dame Angela McLean – who at the time was chief scientific advisor to Ministry of Defence – sent a secret message referring to Rishi Sunak as 'Dr Death the chancellor' in reference to the public health impacts of the 'eat out to help out' scheme. What were some of the other revelations? Did we get any clarity on how these mathematical models were produced and implemented? And what can we hope to learn from what promises to be a long and protracted inquiry?  Oscar Edmondson speaks to Kate Andrews and Michael Simmons.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson. 

Michael Simmons is an author who has done extensive research on the topic of accelerated change in the workplace. He studied the work of 10 different authors who had written on this issue of the acceleration of digital capitalism and the acceleration of time.

Go here to listen → http://www.lynnfriesth.com/podcast1/215  In this episode, we are talking all about that article. We are discussing the conclusions Simmons came to after his research. I hope that this discussion will give all of us a feel for what we're looking at as leaders, as silver entrepreneurs, and as business leaders in the time to come. Tune in to hear the 6 main ideas of Simmon's article and how they apply to you. We'll dive deeper into these concepts: Time is accelerating because of The Red Queen Effect The coming acceleration shock Introducing The 10-Year Rule How to prepare for the coming acceleration shock What we can do about time acceleration in our careers The 5-Hour Rule: the antidote to the exploding pace of modern life Now, for some action steps: Download the free worksheet: Three Steps You Need for a More Productive Workday Read Simmon's article: Google Director Of Engineering: This is how fast the world will change in ten years Connect with Me: LinkedIn Facebook Please leave a Rating and Review: Since this podcast is new, I'm asking for Apple Podcasts reviews.

This week:  The cover of The Spectator magazine looks at whether after years of Covid-based disruption, rising cost and lecturer strikes, university students are getting what they paid for. The Spectator's data editor Michael Simmons writes a sidebar in which he rails against some of the changes that are happening to university freshers' week and joins the podcast alongside Emma de Saram, Guild president at the Exeter University Student's Guild. (01:26)  Also this week: In the magazine we are running an interview by The Spectator's special projects editor Ben Lazarus with professor Jim Skea – the new head of the UN intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) and arguably the most important man in climate science. Ben and Jim kindly allowed us to share a section of their discussion, where they talk about the 1.5 degree target, activist groups and if the messaging on climate has failed. (14:55) And finally: do dogs want ice cream?  That's the question that Mary Wakefield wrestles with in her column this week in The Spectator. With supermarkets now stocking everything from dog ice cream to dog caviar, she argues that we have lost our collective minds.

Today we had the – seemingly – good news that the headline rate of inflation for July has come down to 6.8%. This is in line with Bank of England targets which suggest that Rishi could be set to meet his pledge to halve inflation. Is this cause for celebration in Number 10? Or should we be wary?

Rishi Sunak is likely to hit his target of halving inflation by the end of the year, according to the latest Bank of England forecasts. But is that enough to make people feel better off, and will the Tories reap any political benefits for doing it? Cindy Yu speaks to Katy Balls and Michael Simmons. Produced by Cindy Yu and Max Jeffery.

The struggle for Black Freedom was intensifying in 1966, and when the term “Black Power!” leapt from the March Against Fear in Mississippi into the mainstream, the Freedom Movement was newly energized. White supremacist hearts were all aflutter, and Mister Backlash went into overdrive with the usual bullshit: Black Power is hate! Is racist! Is destructive! Is too extreme! We're joined in conversation today with Zoharah Simmons, Michael Simmons, and Dan Berger to consider the long history of Black Power and the struggle for self-determination and pride through the story of one family.

The arrest of the SNP's treasurer Colin Beattie in relation to the probe into the party's finances has overshadowed Humza Yousaf's relaunch speech scheduled for today. Beattie has been taken into custody two weeks after Peter Murrell, the SNP's chief executive, was questioned by police regarding loans made in June 2021. Can Yousaf distance himself from the chaos in his own party? What does this mean for Scottish Labour's chances at the next election?     Michael Simmons speaks to Katy Balls and Stephen Daisley.     Produced by Oscar Edmondson. 

Today Keir Starmer has doubled down on Labour Party adverts attacking the Conservative's record on crime, and which seemingly accuse Rishi Sunak of not caring about child sex abuse. But is everyone in the party willing to play hardball? Or have the adverts highlighted divisions between senior Labour MPs?  Also on the podcast, after Peter Murrell was arrested in connection with an investigation into the SNP's finances, why has a luxury motorhome now been seized by police? James Heale speaks to Fraser Nelson and Michael Simmons.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

The Black Power movement, often associated with its iconic spokesmen, derived much of its energy from the work of people whose stories have never been told. Stayed On Freedom brings into focus two unheralded Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom. Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons fell in love while organizing tenants and workers in the South. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that traversed first the country and then the world. Their story is now documented in a new book called Stayed On Freedom: The Long History of Black Power through One Family's Journey. In this episode, we are in conversation with the author, Dan Berger, along Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons themselves.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to journalist Michael Simmons whose father, Matty Simmons was the Chairman of the Board and guiding force behind the National Lampoon empire. It's tough to overstate just how important National Lampoon has been to American comedy and comedy they world over. Launching in the1970s and continuing throughout the 1980s, this satirical magazine begat radio shows, stage plays, television shows and films like Animal House and Vacation, National Lampoon was at the center of mass entertainment for two decades. In fact, National Lampoon is the connective tissue in our comedy DNA that links us to Saturday Night Live, Second City, This is Spinal Tap, The Credibility Gap and much more. So how is it that one of the founders of the very first credit card company, Diners Club and later the publisher of Weight Watchers magazine came to kick off the counter culture comedy quake in the latter half of the 20th century? Ah, therein lies the rub and Michael was there to see it all. From being given rides on the shoulders of basketball star Wilt Chamberlain, to tour managing John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis on the road, to tripping on mushrooms with Rip Torn, Michael Simmons has been there for the good and the not so good times, as Matty Simmons son. Somehow we get around to talking about LA vice squad busts which won him an LA Press Club award, being the scapegoat in interoffice squabbles to playing in Kinky Friedman's band. We get the lowdown on pretty much all things National Lampoon. Matty Simmons was the most mercurial of characters in the Lampoon story, but not anymore. Michael Simmons gives us a firsthand account of being at the genesis of a legendary comedy magazine that became a brand. It's all right here, on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen.

The SNP has confirmed that its membership has fallen to 72,000 – a loss of over 30,000 since 2021. This has prompted an open letter from leadership candidates Kate Forbes and Ash Regan, calling for transparency when it comes to membership numbers.

Is he still the firm favourite?  Katy Balls speaks to Michael Simmons, Lucy Dunn and Fraser Nelson.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Today we talk to Dan Berger who is the author of the really beautifully written book Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey,  and we are joined by Dr.  Zoharah Simmons who is one of the subjects of this book and has been a veteran of the civil rights movement,  the black power movement and more recently the feminist movement especially around Women and Islam  and who has been a tireless activist for over 50 years.   The Black Power movement which is  often associated with its iconic spokesmen, derived much of its energy from the work of people whose stories have never been told. Stayed On Freedom brings into focus two unheralded Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom.    Stayed on Freedom also  serves as a corrective to the idea that the Black Power movement was Northern-led when in fact it was activists like Zoharah and Mike Simmons who were leaders in SNCC  in Atlanta who first brought Black power into the civil rights movement.   Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons fell in love while organizing tenants and workers in the South. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that traversed first the country and then the world. In centering their lives, historian Dan Berger shows how Black Power united the local and the global across organizations and generations.   Dr. Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, Ph.D. is Professor Emerita from the University of Florida where she was an assistant Professor of Religion and affiliated faculty in the Women Studies Department. Simmons received her BA from Antioch University in Human Services and her M.A. and Ph.D. in Religion with a specific focus on Islam from Temple University as well as a Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies. Simmons' primary academic focus in Islam is on the Shari'ah (Islamic Law) and its impact on Muslim women, contemporarily. The post Zoharah Simmons/ Stayed on Freedom appeared first on KPFA.

In the first of The Spectator's special Coffee House Scots series, Michael Simmons speaks to Isabel Hardman, Katy Balls and Stephen Daisley about the SNP leadership race. Given that the main motivation uniting the SNP is the ambition for an independent Scotland, how do the candidates differ ideologically?

Dan Berger joins us with Zoharah and Michael Simmons, the subjects of his new book, to discuss the Black power movement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice.

Today we've got historian Dan Berger to talk about his new book Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power through One Family's Journey -- and then we've got the two main characters of the book as well, Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons. Zoharah and Michael have lived astounding lives, and they tell us stories about working with SNCC during the fight against Jim Crow, campaigning for Julian Bond, traveling the world to join the freedom struggle in other nations, and more. Enjoy!

The Black Power movement is often associated with iconic spokespeople, but its momentum was due, in part, to the work of those with untold stories. University of Washington-Bothell Professor and historian Dan Berger's new book Stayed On Freedom: The Long History of Black Power through One Family's Journey focuses on the story of Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons: two unheralded, grassroots Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom. A love story as well as a movement story, Zoharah and Michael fell in love while organizing tenants and workers in the South. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that first traversed the United States and then the world. In centering their lives through intertwined stories, Berger shows how Black Power brought unity on both a local and global scale, which had an impact across organizations as well as generations. Attendees will likely learn something new about these unsung members of the movement toward civil rights, introducing people besides those typically highlighted during Black History Month. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, Stayed On Freedom seeks to reveal a moving and intimate portrait of two people trying to forge a life for themselves while working to make a better world for others. Dan Berger is professor of comparative ethnic studies and associate dean for faculty development and scholarship in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington Bothell. His book Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing in the Civil Rights Era won the 2015 James A. Rawley Prize. He lives in Seattle, WA. Dr. Carmen Rojas is the president & CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation. For more than 20 years, she has worked with foundations, financial institutions, and nonprofits to improve the lives of working people across the country. Dr. Rojas holds a Ph.D. in City & Regional Planning from UC Berkeley, and was a Fulbright Scholar in 2007. Stayed on Freedom The Elliott Bay Book Company

This is the 4th and final installment in our series of conversations with Zoharah Simmons, Michael Simmons, and their biographer Dan Berger. The conversations are inspired by Dan's new book Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey, which covers the lives and struggles of Zoharah and Michael in SNCC and in a variety of organizations thereafter. In this part of the discussion, we talk about the book as a love story. Not primarily of romantic love, but of the love that animates long term struggle. We also discuss Zoharah's efforts organizing with the National Black Independent Political Party, Michael's organizing work in Philadelphia, his efforts with the Philadelphia Workers Organizing Committee and work to develop a new national communist party. We also ask them to touch on their internationalist organizing efforts in the 1980's, 90's and beyond. We really want to express our deep gratitude to Michael, Zoharah and Dan who each spent roughly six hours recording with us. As we have said throughout the series there are many aspects of the book, that even despite this lengthy treatment from us, we just couldn't get to, some of them beautiful, some of them very painful, but all of them full of lessons, information, and the making of history. Stayed On Freedom is out now and we hope folks will pick it up and read it for themselves. One last reminder that we have a new study group that starts next week. We'll be reading Mao's On Practice and On Contradiction. We'll include a link to that in the show notes. And if you like what we do, please become a patron of the show, our show is 100% supported by our listeners through patreon.

In conversation with Michael Simmons and Robert Saleem Holbrook Dan Berger is the author of the James A. Rawley Prize winning Captive Nation: Black Prison Organizing in the Civil Rights Era, an ''illuminating'' (The Nation) reevaluation of 20th century African American activism through the prism of mass incarceration. A professor of comparative ethnic studies and associate dean for faculty development and scholarship in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington Bothell, he has published op-eds and other work about critical race theory and social justice in a variety of newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals. In Stayed on Freedom, Berger tells the story of the until-now unheralded Black Power activists Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons.  Alongside Zoharah and countless other organizers and activists, Philadelphia-raised Michael Simmons has fought for social justice and human rights for more than 55 years. His work includes time with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, imprisonment for draft resistance during the Vietnam War, assistance in the fair housing movement, and participation in the anti-Apartheid Movement. He spent more than two decades as a human rights organizer in Central Europe, both with the American Friends Service Committee and independently. Robert Saleem Holbrook is the executive director of the Abolitionist Law Center. (recorded 2/7/2023)

This is the third installment of our conversation with Zoharah and Michael Simmons, and their biographer Dan Berger, as we discuss their lives in relation to Dan's new book Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey.   We discuss Michael and Zoharah's organizing against the Vietnam War, especially the issue of draft resistance.  Along those lines, we talk a bit about Michael's time locked up as a pre-trial detainee at the Atlanta Prison Farm, during the period where it served as a jail for Atlanta on the same location where Cop City has been proposed. Zoharah shares struggles against patriarchy and male chauvinism within movement spaces, specifically through her experiences at SNCC and the Nation of Islam. And she discusses her own efforts to combat it as a SNCC Program Director in Laurel, Mississippi.  After Michael's incarceration for his resistance to the draft, both Michael and Zoharah talk about their years struggling within the American Friends Service Committee both in terms of their jobs there, but also the organizing that they launched beyond the scope of their duties, their struggles to unionize the AFSC, and dealing with the complicated relationship that a predominantly white Quaker organization had to folks like Michael, Zoharah and others who were coming out of the Black Liberation struggle with deep organizing commitments, experiences, and international solidarity. In particular Zoharah's discussion touches on her participation in work uncovering government surveillance, repression, and counterinsurgency. Michael discusses organizing predominantly Black workers and other workers of color while also building growing connections and mobilizing solidarity with movements in Africa and South America. We want to thank Pluto Press again for donating 36 copies of the book Of Black Study by Joshua Myers.

Even though this series represents one of our most sustained engagements with a subject, we also assure you that there are many wonderful stories and complicated struggle and issues covered in Stayed On Freedom that we were not able to get to in our discussion with Dan, Michael and Zoharah. We encourage folks to pick up the book if they haven't already.  Additional Links: SNCC/Atlanta Project/Anti-Draft Protests  The Draft Program / Atlanta's Black Paper        

This is the second episode in our series on Dan Berger's new book Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey.  We welcome back Dan Berger, and Michael and Zoharah Simmons for this discussion. Make sure you check out part one if you missed it. In part 1 Zoharah and Michael Simmons share stories from their childhoods and their early politicization, as well as their first experiences organizing with SNCC in Mississippi and Arkansas. That conversation will enrich your understanding of part 2, but this conversation also works as a standalone discussion. In this episode the focus is on the organizing work that Zoharah and Michael were a part of, how SNCC approached community organizing in Mississippi, Arkansas and then with the Atlanta Project. Building throughout this episode are the influences and experiences that organically developed into what we know as Black Power. We discuss the Black Consciousness Paper also called the Black Power statement by some, which was developed by the Atlanta Project in Vine City, in which Zoharah and Michael organized. Along the way there are very interesting lessons, experiences, and ideas for organizers and an important discussion of what the actual interventions and implications of Black Power were within SNCC and the broader Black Liberation struggle.  Make sure to pick up a copy of Stayed On Freedom by Dan Berger for more depth on many of the stories touched on here in discussion with Dan, Michael and Zoharah. It is a new month, we are fortunate that we hit our goal for 31 new patrons in January on the last day of the month. This month we will set a goal of 28 new patrons.

This conversation is centered on Dan Berger's new book Stayed on Freedom: The Long History of Black Power Through One Family's Journey.  Stayed On Freedom brings into focus two unheralded Black Power activists who dedicated their lives to the fight for freedom.   Zoharah Simmons and Michael Simmons fell in love while organizing tenants and workers in the South for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee or SNCC at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Their commitment to each other and to social change took them on a decades-long journey that traversed first the country and then the world. In centering their lives, historian Dan Berger shows how Black Power united the local and the global across organizations and generations.   We're really excited that for our discussion of the book we get to do something a bit different than we usually do, thanks to Zoharah and Michael Simmons who join us along with Dan Berger to offer some oral history of their decades of struggle.  In this part of our conversation, we talk about their childhoods, their early politicization, defying their families in order to get directly involved in perhaps the most dangerous work in the Civil Rights Movement and we begin to talk about the Black communities they joined in the Deep South to be a part of those transformative struggles against Jim Crow.  There will be at least 2 more episodes talking with Zoharah and Michael about their long-term commitment to what Berger calls “The Long History of Black Power.” And we are so grateful to Dan, Michael and Zoharah for taking so much time to bring you these oral histories. Stayed on Freedom is on sale now and you can pick it up from our friends at Massive Bookshop and at bookstores everywhere.  As a note we have done some previous oral histories with SNCC veterans and we will include those in the show notes as well, as they provide more context for one of the most important radical struggles in the history of this country. It's almost the end of the month and we are behind our own goal for patrons which we set monthly to keep up with non renewals and attempt to build towards the greater sustainability of the labor we put into this podcast. We need 12 more patrons to hit that goal this month.

This episode gives a glimpse into the birds of Australia, told through the eyes of Franck Masna, an aboriginal elder who tells us the story of how birds got their colours and also through the eyes of Michael Simmons who runs Tweed Escapes to show tourists the sights and sounds of the Tweed River in Australia. This video is about the Tweed Valley, New South Wales, about an hour by flight from Sydney.   When people think of Australian birds, they commonly think of emus, parrots and maybe the Southern Cassowary.  But the country-continent 850 species of birds, 45% of them not found anywhere else.  Some spectacular species include the giant Southern Cassowary where fathers incubate the eggs, the tawny frogmouth- a master of disguise, the barking owl, the rainbow lorikeet, the superb and the splendid fairy-wren, which are beautiful blue birds, the laughing kookaburra which is the basis of a song that we learned as children even here in India, and a whole variety of parrots.  In fact, early Dutch explorers called this land Terra Psitticora or Land  of the parrots.   Did you know that pretty much all songbirds and 60% of all bird species originated in Australia.  In fact, Australian scientists often talk about how much of a "Northern Hemisphere" bias ornithology has.  In future episodes, we hope to interview experts from Australia but for now, here is a teaser episode in which I interview two folks from the Tweed River.

The Buzz 1: There's no telling what the futuristic inventions of the world hold, but we can start by taking a few wild and speculative guesses: Robot butlers – Fully immersive VR – Cryonics – Exo-skeletons – Flying Cars –Artificial gravity – Fusion power – Self-sustaining space colonies. [bigthink.com] The Buzz 2: The U.S. patent system is detailed in the Constitution. A patent's assurance of the protection of inventions is a key reason why companies invest billions of dollars in research and development. 2020 was the 28th year in a row that IBM led the U.S. in the number of patents granted. [fortune.com] The Buzz 3: Every year Siemens honors Inventors of the Year in five categories: Newcomers, Open Innovation, Outstanding Invention, Lifetime Achievement, and Design and User Experience. In 2021, the 15 awarded inventors have their origins in the US, India, Israel, UK, Poland and Germany.
