The technologies that will be most successful will resonate with human behaviour instead of working against it. In fact, to solve the problems of delivering and assimilating new technology into the workplace, we must look to the way humans act and react.

Free men are aware of the imperfection inherent in human affairs, and they are willing to fight and die for that which is not perfect.

A large majority of menstrual problems resolve after treatment with dessicated thyroid.
