The Rev. Michael Pfleger Q&A: We Need Pope Francis' Spirit More Than Ever
Share With the death of Pope Francis on Monday morning at the age of 88, the Catholic Church's liberal wing lost an icon. While the pontiff didn't go as far as some liberals had hoped—allowing priests to marry same-sex couples, changing the Church's stance against birth control, and permitting women to join the priesthood, for example—he embraced these stances more than any pope before him. It's fair to say that the Rev.

I'm keeping out of sight," he replied. When asked where he was, the Palestinian man said he was somewhere between Rafah and Khan Yunis in Gaza.

For Geek's Eyes Only: Asimov's Foundation
Warning—this episode is going to be a geeky one. After all, I named my older son after Isaac Asimov. Asimov began his Foundation series in the 1940s as a series of short stories and novelas.

Ten things to consider when someone young you know (or even you) has recently been widowed… • Flowers are a burden. Giving the grieving person more work and death to their household is not helpful. • Food and fruit-baskets are a burden.

There are 20.5 people per active website, there are 43,918 people per voice app. But that’s about to change. It’s time to get yours.
The internet has enabled key communication channels: web, email, mobile, native apps, IoT devices and now, voice assistants and the underlying conversational UI. The invention and adoption of each of these channels and tools have similar stories, but no two channels have closer paths than the web and voice.

Your motivation to enter voice should be trust, but it will probably be fear
Anyone who has worked more than a few days in a customer service role knows that when a customer trusts you, you are able to be forgiven more easily, ask customers to do things they normally wouldn’t and maintain a longer relationship with them. Without trust customer retention rates drop, obtaining new customers becomes more expensive and brand value drops out. You know what else happens? Employee morale falls.

Smart Displays are keeping pace, here’s the social science and numbers behind why.
by Jason Fields | Mar 19, 2019 The numbers for smart displays confirm what humans already knew: conversation isn’t just verbal.
