1. IBM: this company was at the forefront of big, room-sized computing machines in the past is now leading the way in the opposite direction. IBM researchers are reporting a “major engineering breakthrough” about an alternative to silicon transistors: carbon nanotube transistors that will be ready in time to take silicon’s place.

Sign Language: A New Way of Great Service

Commitment and responsibility at Starbucks

Last month, Ibby Piracha walked into his favorite Starbucks and received something great, beyond his favorite blended beverage. This deaf man approached the counter to order and his barista signed "What do you want to drink?" This fact surprised Piracha a lot because the barista actually learned to sign specifically, so Piracha and the rest of deaf customers would get the "same experience as everyone else."

After this episode, Piracha posted a photo on Facebook from his Feb. 19 visit to the Virginia Starbucks, and today, the photo has become viral, garnering more than 13,000 shares and 3,600 likes. Captioning the photo, Piracha expressed his thanks, writing that he received a blessing gesture from the employee for taking the time to learn a skill that would make his visits more enjoyable.

More information about Sign Language

Employee has learnt sign language

Sign language is a visual language that uses a system of manual, facial and body movements as the means of communication. This language is not a universal language, and different sign languages are used in different countries, like the many spoken languages all over the world. Some countries such as Belgium, the UK, the USA or India have more than one sign language. Hundreds of sign languages are in used around the world.

Do you think that learning this important means of communication is a necessary tool in fast food restaurants as in the case of Virgina Starbucks? Is this a language that each employee can learn by his/her own? Or could it be mandatory to learn at list some basic phrases for the public? There is no doubt that communicating in sign language turn the Piracha’s visits more enjoyable and pleasant, and, of course, put him at the same well-deserve place of every other customer in the restaurant.

InfoSecurity Event in Caracas

Rafael Nunez Aponte

 Regarding the 2016 edition of the annual event InfoSecurity, organized by Information Security Inc. (ISEC), we talked with Rafael Nunez Aponte, in his role of computer security specialist and CEO of MásQueDigital. Nunez spoke to doblellave.com and commented topics about the massification of technology and high Internet connectivity as well as highlighted how vulnerabilities and risks in the field have increased more and more every day. Rafael Nunez expressed his concern and gave a piece of advice about cybersecurity saying that people are used to see Internet as a safe tool, when in the intangible world there are many threats such as:

• hackers,

• robots,

• and social engineering attacks.

From Caracas, Rafael Nunez said that it is important to raise awareness in Latin America since, from his point of view, Latin America people are very reactive and wait too much before acting; he also noted that companies must invest in cybersecurity in order to protect themselves and understand that it is not an expense of resources, but an important investment.

Improving Energy Efficiency with LEGO

No more plastic

The LEGO Group is a very popular and famous family-owned company based in Billund, Denmark that manufactures Lego brand toys. For them, energy efficiency, the impact of their work on the environment, climate change, sustainability, etc. are topics to worry about. Stay here and discover what this company is doing for our Planet.

Going green. Nowadays, the world is demanding eco-friendly designs, constructions, processes, etc. As new products are developed, the toy maker is not far from this principle. It has to look for the means to apply eco-design principles more widely across the business. This could have implications for another focus area – the search for more sustainable materials, for example. The raw materials used by Lego for its bricks represent 30% of its greenhouse gas emissions and it is looking to implement greener alternatives by 2030.

Thinking green

In order to impact positively on the environment, Lego must acknowledge and address the challenges of climate change. The company is committed to reduce its CO₂ emissions and to work very close with suppliers in reducing theirs while aiming to produce more renewable energy to balance the company’s global energy use. Aspects considered by Lego are:

• To improve energy efficiency by reducing the amount of energy they use.
• To use a carbon neutral supply chain and work closely with their suppliers to find and co-create CO₂ reduction initiatives.
• To be balanced by 100% renewable energy by 2020. The company invests in a wind farm to produce renewable energy to balance the energy they use to manufacture their Lego bricks.

Supply chain and the energy efficiency. Lego is always taking important actions in reducing carbon emissions. However, they also need to address the CO₂ emissions, which are related to their raw materials and activities that originate in their supply chain.

Therefore, Lego works very close with their suppliers for a carbon neutral supply chain. Together with WWF, the company is stepping up all its efforts with suppliers to innovate solutions for reducing their CO₂ emissions.
