POEM AT WAR
Gaza and Jerusalem
i.
The world minds
for awhile, is
dismayed, (dismay
a momentary stay
against
the world's
minds mining
the words they
make from
that which is
at stake
for us, O Lord,
says a friend on
the other side
of the
ii.
line): the world
loves
what it knows,
it glows
in droves
of pharmacies,
walls of balms
to no end,
the mystery
of this so-called
calm we bend
these sides
of the line.
The lines.

My dear friend Annie Kantar Ben-Hillel, a wonderful poet (in addition to being an educator and mom and activist and friend and all sorts of good things) recently released a book that is very worth reading (and owning, link for ordering in first comment). It includes this poem that really speaks to this challenging moment (to hazard an extravagant understatement).
Like almost all poetry I love, it rewards reading aloud. Poetry must be heard. It's music is fundamental to its ability to move us. So, please read aloud. Most of you probably won't. I think. But I truly urge the minimal effort to maximize emotional/spiritual impact.
I love that this piece isn't about trying to paint the horrors in words. It doesn't indulge in sensation to the point of sensationalism. Rather, it hovers above, yet without detachment. And in doing so, it blurs the line between the heart and the head, reflection and immediacy, which is the place where I locate hope.
(An additional piece of context, intentional or not, is the image of the pharmacy. A very high percentage of pharmacists in Jerusalem are Palestinian. Nurses and doctors as well. But every time someone Jewish here in Jerusalem throws out "they really all want to kill us," I ask them when they last had a prescription filled. Because if Palestinian Maqdsi [Jerusalemites] wanted to mass murder Jews, they could pick one day amongst them and poison tens or even hundreds of thousands of Jews. When someone fills your prescription, you put your very life in their hands. I take medications daily. I'm still here. And when I go to get them filled, I don't see anyone in line looking nervous or hesitating to ask questions. Again, I don't know if Annie was thinking of this. But idea of pharmacies and walls of balms in this city i inseparable for me from the many compassionate and competent Arab professionals who regularly assist me with my health. Keep that in mind and read it aloud again. And again. And...)

“A few months later, early one morning, Naftali was changing the baby’s diaper when she fell off the bed and broke her leg. Chavie bolted upright in bed when the baby screamed and said they had to take her to the hospital right away, but it was Saturday—Shabbos—and they were staying with her husband’s family for the weekend. Her father-in-law asked a neighbor, who was an emergency medical technician in the religious ambulance corps, to examine the baby, and the technician concluded that the baby’s injuries were not serious enough to warrant driving on Shabbos. (A lawyer for Naftali Weisberger declined an interview requested on his behalf.) All through the day, as Chavie held the screaming baby, she grew angrier and angrier. As soon as Shabbos was over, the family went to the hospital, but the doctor was so disturbed by the broken femur, and by the fact that they had waited nearly ten hours to bring the baby in, that the hospital called child-protective services. That night, while Chavie slept in the hospital with the baby, she was watched by a child-protection worker, for fear of abuse.” [...]
“The marriage, though, was difficult from the start. She wanted to go back to college—she still hoped to become a doctor—but she was scolded for trying to overthrow her husband. (Marie’s husband, too, declined to be interviewed.) She saw that as a bride she had not received the same kinds of gifts as other daughters-in-law; her husband told her that she should be grateful that his family took her in after the way she had been raised, like an animal in a zoo.
When she and her husband had their first child, a daughter, she became absorbed in being a mother and felt happier. A couple of years later, they had a son. But the marriage grew worse. Her husband controlled the household money, and told her that in order for him to give her some, even to buy basic items such as sanitary napkins, she had to deserve it. He called her names, and when their daughter was around six or seven he started calling her names, too—ugly, fat, stupid.”

Colorful Image Lights Up Microscopic Guts of 'Water Bear'

Colorful Image Lights Up Microscopic Guts of 'Water Bear'
Tardigrades—eight-legged, microscopic “water bears” known for surviving in extreme conditions—can be pretty photogenic, given the right lighting. Last month, an image of a tardigrade’s insides lit up by fluorescent stains was named an Olympus “Global Image of the Year” award winner for 2019, reports Mindy Weisberger for Live Science.
Biologist Tagide deCarvalho, manager of the Keith Porter Imaging Facility at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), created the award-winning photo of the microscopic animal, the University announced in a statement. Since tardigrades are mostly colorless, deCarvalho used fluorescent dye molecules to stain the tardigrade’s internal structures, revealing an eye-popping look inside a creature that typically grows no longer than one millimeter in length.
“I knew the moment I saw this colorful specimen that it was going to be a remarkable image,” deCarvalho says in a statement. “I love sharing the fascinating things I see in the microscope with other people.”
Tardigrades, also known as “moss piglets,” have earned a bit of a cult status over the years for being difficult to kill and “endearingly tubby,” reports Weisberger. In 2012, Smithsonian magazine reported that while the water bears generally live on moist pieces of moss or in the sediment on the bottom of lakes, they can also survive at both 212 degrees Fahrenheit and 459 degrees below zero. They’ve also been found enduring intense pressure at the bottom of the ocean floor.
To protect themselves, the animals curl their bodies into a compact pill shape, become completely dehydrated and secrete chemicals that form a protective shell called a tun. This process, known as “vitrification,” effectively mummifies the animal and allows it to survive even in outer space, reports Brian Resnick for Vox.
As Jenny O’Grady writes for UMBC Magazine, deCarvalho calls the specialized process of creating microscopic images with fluorescent molecules “Sci-Art.”
“I’m able to produce so much color in my images by using multiple fluorescent stains and capitalizing on the natural fluorescence of the samples,” deCarvalho says in a statement. “I’m excited about this image because the fluorescent dyes I used allow you to see the tardigrade digestive tract, including the mouthparts and stomach filled with food.”
Her image earned first place in the Americans region of the Olympus Global Life Science Light Microscopy contest, which “aim[s] to celebrate both the artistic and scientific value of microscopy images,” per a statement. The top pick for Global Image of the Year went to a brightly colored image of a slice of mouse’s brain, created by Ainara Pintor, a doctoral candidate at the Basque Center for Biophysics in Spain.

Do animals laugh?
By Mindy Weisberger
May 17, 2021
Animal vocalizations made during play are a close analogue to human laughter.
Laughing together is an important way for people to connect and bond. And though the causes of laughter can vary widely across individuals and groups, the sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between people belonging to different cultures.
But what about animals other than humans? Do they "laugh," and do the causes of their laughter resemble the triggers for human laughter? In humans, laughter can express a range of emotions — from positive feelings like enjoyment to negative ones such as disgust. People also laugh when they hear a joke, or when they see something that they think is funny, though it's unknown if animals' intelligence includes what humans would call a sense of humor.
However, many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction; researchers consider such vocalizations to be a close analogue of human laughter. Recently, scientists investigated play vocalization to see how common it was among animals. The team identified 65 species that "laughed" while playing; most were mammals, but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too. This new analysis could help scientists to trace the evolutionary origins of human laughter, according to a new study.
Because some types of play behavior look like fighting, animals may vocalize, or laugh, during play to keep interactions from escalating and becoming aggressive or harmful, the researchers reported April 19 in the journal Bioacoustics. Unlike fighting, play is usually repetitive and happens independently of other social behaviors, such as mating or searching for food, said lead study author Sasha Winkler, a doctoral candidate of biological anthropology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
When it comes to identifying play, "people who study primates say, 'You know it when you see it,'" Winkler told Live Science. One sign is that primates — our closest relatives — have a "play face" that resembles the expressions of humans who are playing, she explained.
When Winkler previously worked with rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), she had noticed that the monkeys panted quietly while playing. Many other primates are also known to vocalize during play, she said. Winkler and study co-author Greg Bryant, a professor and vice chair in UCLA's Department of Communication, wondered whether animal laughter might be even more widespread. They reviewed dozens of prior research "looking for any mentions in any animal of vocal signaling during play" like the panting of the macaques, Winkler said.
Their investigation turned up dozens of examples, with reports of vocal play signals "throughout the mammal literature, especially among primates, rodents, social carnivores and (to a lesser extent) marine mammals," the scientists wrote in the study.
Make 'em laugh
Many of these sounds only occurred during play, such as the purr of a vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops), the ultrasonic trill of a rat (Rattus norvegicus), the whistle and squawk of a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the peeping of a squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus). Most primate species, including chimpanzees, gorillas, monkeys and baboons, demonstrated playful laughter: from panting chuckles, lip-smacking and grunts to cackles, trills and squeals, according to the study.
Though most of the laughing animals were mammals, two bird species — the Australian magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen) and the kea parrot (Nestor notabilis) — also vocalized during play, the researchers reported. In a 2017 study of kea parrots, which live in New Zealand, scientists found that if they recorded keas' warbling laughter and played it through a speaker, other keas "would spontaneously start playing," Winkler said. That study demonstrated how kea laughter acts as an invitation to other keas, "specifically to facilitate and to initiate play," Winkler said.
Reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish, amphibians and reptiles, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in those animal groups, according to the study.
Laughter in humans is thought to have originated during play, a hypothesis supported by the play-related panting laughter of many primate species. Human laughter may have evolved from a similar panting sound that, "over evolutionary time became ritualized into the vocalized 'ha ha ha' that we use today," Winkler said. People still laugh during play, but we also incorporate laughter into language and non-play behaviors, using laughter in diverse ways to convey a range of emotions that may be positive or negative, the researchers reported.
Human laughter notably differs from other animals' laughter in another important way: its volume. People broadcast their laughter loudly, often as a way of establishing inclusion in a group. By comparison, when most animals laugh, the sound is very quiet — just loud enough to be heard by the laugher's partner, according to the study.
"It's really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of vocalization during play," Winkler told Live Science. "But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study."

How to use the story of your founder to emphasize your brand
We like to surround ourselves with people that we feel a genuine connection to; people who tell interesting stories, share similar values and live in ways that we yearn to replicate. It’s not so different for businesses. Consumers congregate toward brands that invoke positive emotions and leave them wanting more. In essence, over time a brand can start to feel like a good friend. One of the easiest ways to create loyal followers is to advertise the story of your founder. Read on to discover ways brands are using their founders to connect with customers.
Advertise your founder’s approachability
TheSkimm is a membership-based news outlet that specifically targets female millennials. Co-founders Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin realized that young adults wanted a fast way to read the most important stories without having to filter through the noise. TheSkimm was launched in 2012 and has since evolved to an app, email newsletter, and podcast that reaches over 7 million subscribers.
It is not just the convenience behind the platform that resonates with females; Danielle and Carly seem genuine, like the kind of women you would like to join for happy hour. The founders have become so influential to their base that they were responsible for registering over 100,000 people to vote in the 2016 election and getting 200,000 people to show up in the 2018 midterm election. Having a founder who personifies your target market is powerful, and it is an excellent way to gain brand credibility.
Underscore your founder’s relevant expertise
Brothers Ryan and Ron Seiders are the founders of Yeti, the popular upscale cooler company. They were inspired to design a cooler that was strong and efficient enough to withstand their active hunting and fish trips. Yeti coolers are so durable that they are actually verified as grizzly-proof by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee.
At first glance of Ryan and Ron’s Instagram page, it becomes apparent that the duo are the ultimate outdoorsmen, and it is that desirable trait that has convinced other adventurists to spend $300 on a cooler. Ryan and Ron are the sons of a nurse and a nature-loving high school teacher who later became an entrepreneur in the fishing industry. The Seiders are hunting and fishing experts, and when an outdoorsman buys a Yeti cooler, it’s not just to brag about how long it keeps ice cool. but rather a way to emulate the action-filled life of Ryan and Ron.
Embrace your underdog status
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield met in seventh-grade gym class in 1978. They were the slowest kids on the track and became instant friends because of their shared sense of humor. Though they remained close through college, each had their heart set on a very different path. Cohen planned on becoming a potter and Greenfield wanted to be a doctor, but no one would buy Cohen’s pottery and Greenfield was not accepted into medical school. As a backup, the two debated between opening a bagel or ice cream shop, and they chose the latter because of lower startup costs.
Cohen suffers from a condition called anosmia, which means that he cannot smell or taste anything. That fate doesn’t seem fair to the owner of an ice cream conglomerate, but the disorder allows him to experiment with inventive ingredient combinations, some of which have become their most popular flavors. Cohen and Greenfield’s optimistic attitude about the challenges they have faced in their lives continue to help make Ben & Jerry’s a household favorite.
Use a strong work ethic to gain loyalty
Bert and John Jacobs, the founders of the Life Is Good brand, designed their first T-shirt in 1989. For the next five years, they traveled to East coast college campuses trying to sell their products door-to-door. They hardly made any money and slept in their van, relying on peanut butter sandwiches for food. Finally, the business turned a new corner when they developed the “Jake” character and their famous motto, “Life is good” in 1994. Sales continued to increase, and now the company makes over $100 million per year in revenue.
Even though the founders no longer live in their van and can certainly afford to take a corporate approach to reach new customers, they still choose to rely on word-of-mouth and grassroots campaigns. Jacobs’ incessant handwork and dedication toward growing the old-fashioned way has added to the brand’s charm and success.
Do you know the story behind your founder?
The story of your founder is out there, whether or not they are still living. The team at SJR Research specializes in discovering the history behind businesses and turning it into evergreen marketing assets. Visit our website to learn more!

How Marriage and Family Therapists are Different From Other Psychology Health Professionals
A marriage and family therapist, also known as MFT, has a unique set of skills that sets them apart from other psychological health professionals. We often overlook or appear on the “or similar training” list in the job description after the word “LCSW, LCPC prefers”. Interestingly, MFT training is very clinical compared to other professional programs: an accredited master’s program requires a minimum of 500 personal hours of clients, half of which are a couple and family hours. This means that while MFTs work with individuals, couples, and families, they also have extensive training to work and think about the issues in the relationships. In the end, we are shaped by where we have come from and that says a lot about what we do in other relationships. It is important to understand that MFTs look at people and problems in this broader context, allowing for the emergence of strengths and comprehensive treatment to empower clients. MFT training is specialized and different from other modalities and offers significant benefits for everyone (individuals, couples, and families). Here are some myths and realities about marriage and family therapists.
A common misconception about MFTs (marriage and family therapists) is that we only work with couples and their families. Our training allows us to see topics from a context that includes the impact of interactions, beliefs, culture, parenting, and relationships. Our problems do not arise in a laboratory where all factors are considered or eliminated. MFTs are good for people as we understand the impact they have on our lives.
Another myth about marriage and family counseling is that MFTs only help with some related issues (e.g., infidelity, unexpected loss, family conflict). However, MFTs are trained to manage relationship problems with common causes people seek therapy (e.g., depression, anxiety, injury, and addiction). The design of MFTs is usually appropriate to see the customer in the world and can address the context in which the issues are.
Myth: Only Marriage and Family Doctors Know. MFTs specialize in physicians and use procedures to help anyone with a problem, whether in a relationship or not. It is customary for marriage and family planning to provide marriage counseling only if both members are in the group during work hours. A therapist can provide marriage counseling with a person, because knowledge, discipline, and tools can be 'different to make a difference in the discussion.
Every doctor is different, and it is important that you choose. People make a difference in many ways. If you are looking to have couple or family therapies, it is a good idea to hire a Marriage and Family therapist. The marriage counselor can specialize in sports, adult issues, or health. When you are looking for a fix, choose one that solves the problem you are solving. Not all doctors are willing to work with your problem. It's best to choose someone who is trained to solve the problems you need.
Marriage and family therapists (MFTs) are trained in psychotherapy and family systems and are licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders. A special feature that you will find during treatment with MFT is that the therapist will focus on understanding the symptoms and diagnosis of communication and relationships. The current environment of the context is carefully examined places special emphasis on the family system - as it is defined by is. MFT treats all individuals, but always from a perspective that "relationships matter." Find therapist.
The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy represents over 50,000 marriage and family therapists worldwide.
Deborah Weisberg is a professional marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles along with other physiotherapy services. If you are looking for the same, contact 310.712.5650 for bookings.

COVID-19 Life
9 April 2020
Spain, Greece, losing my virginities..... and my fears.
Happy 80th birthday Sally! Sally is one of my friends from Waverley, PA, with whom I had the pleasure of joining as part of a group of 9 of us who traveled together to Greece for two weeks a couple of years back organized by my BFF Suzanne Staples. It was a really great trip. We had a big van, a driver (Costas) and a guide/historian (Mara) and visited all the usual places, from Athens and Evia to Corinth, Kalamata to Delphi, Olympia, Marathon, into the mountains and by air to Santorini. I hadn’t spent that much time enjoying Greece since 1970 - wow - 50 years (very sobering).
I first went to Greece as part of a student group in 1970. We spent two weeks in Italy, and then 4 weeks in Greece. We were studying Greek and Roman civilization, architecture and art. Probably my very best memories from high school. The year before I had gone to Spain on a similar program - six weeks at the University of Salamanca. I was in awe of the French kids who smoked Gitanes in class. There we studied Spanish as well as history. Summer of 1969 was a blockbuster back home in the US. We had both the moon landing and Chappaquiddick! As 16 year-olds, we were basically clueless except for where to get wine, pot, and trying to have our first sex. (I accomplished all three, even if I didn’t know at the time that my first sex was with the wrong gender!) Oh, and my sister, at home in LA, dropped acid, got divorced, then pregnant and then my mom remarried and moved to Hawaii, leaving me to finish my senior year in Hawthorne “At Home Alone”. In Salamanca, I also had my last recurring nightmare, dreams that I had had since I was 2-3 years old (which involved a lot of sleep walking, night terrors and peeing on or in assorted pieces of furniture including my clothing drawers, the clothes dryer, a TV and a long walk alone at 2 a.m. to the local mini-market when I was 5 or 6. I managed to find my way back home when I woke up -- ran the whole way -- and went to bed without being discovered. My parents did put a chain lock on the front door, well out of my reach, after that. I found it interesting that those nightmares went away at the exact same time I stopped living with either of my parents.
Early in the week, here in the Hudson Valley, we enjoyed a couple of warm days, close to 70, and I have worked more in the gardens around the property, clearing remaining leaves and dead plants. Yesterday was gloomy, though not cold, and today we are getting a decent amount of rain. I’m finding that if I can spend a couple of hours a day working in the gardens on sunny days, I can keep up with what needs to be done, and I’m enjoying it very much. My dad used to do the same. He’d knock off work by 2 p.m., come home and spend a couple of hours in his gardens, then settle down to watching “Ellen” and “Dr. Phil” with mom. I hope I never enjoy watching TV like they did. Thank god programming has expanded to include so many mini-series and cable TV shows which are actually not bad.
Still having nightly cocktail hours on Skype with friends. Last night I checked in with the Weisbergs, then we had a 6 person call with Italian friends, then on my own I Skyped both grandkids (individually), and an old UH-friend from the late-70s in Bel Air, and finally B&B/F&F. We also made pizzas at home last night.
I think I am finally slipping into a routine that works. I should be looking for ways to get more exercise, yoga is probably my best best, and walking, besides the gardening. I read somewhere that gardening counts as exercise! Chinese classes started on Tuesday night via Zoom, and it was actually very good. I loved that I can fill a coffee cup with wine and sit there in front of the screen and learn a language with a beautiful new teacher and 5 classmates from last term. I hope we get to continue to learn via video, even after COVID goes away!
Waking up between 7-8 a.m. without an alarm and enjoying getting ready for the day with no sense of urgency. Showering, shaving, nails, teeth, hair, clothes, coffee, news, check email, process cancellations at the B&B, set up calls for QWZRD. I have this blog, and Chinese homework.... we’re starting to learn to write!! Finishing up a new history of Brooklyn (reading, not writing). Lunch today -- thinking of plant-based burgers or pad thai, and I also bought ingredients for stir-fried eggplant and ground ‘pork’ with garlic, chilies and honey. One of my favorite Chinese dishes. Then a nap (probably), some more work on the computer or reading, then cocktails! Life could be much worse. We are so fortunate.
And on the subject of how life has changed, I had a scheduled 4:30 p.m. video conference call with my PCP at 8 p.m. last night -- I feel so bad for the health care workers right now. And it was just for a prescription refill. Used to be you could just send in an email and then go to the pharmacy and pick it up, but now they are requiring video calls with the doctor to get a refill. I have 5 prescriptions. I think it’s a huge mis-allocation of resources to make the doctors talk to every patient before refilling a prescription!
Less important but nonetheless annoying, is that the plastic bag industry seems to have convinced politicians that plastic single use bags (which were recently made illegal in NY) are safer than the bags we were bringing to the supermarket for our groceries in this time of COVID! And, the cashiers, for the most past aren’t using any personal protective equipment (PPE - another new acronym!), masks or gloves. Everyday is something new.
And, two masks arrived for us yesterday. Ordered them 3 weeks ago.

Travel Dilemmas: Often Get Lost? Lack a Sense of Direction? These Tools May Help
(TNS)—Here’s an embarrassing but true revelation: My sense of direction is less than optimal. That has led to many conversations like this one some years ago with my co-pilot, who thought GPS was for sissies, especially in LA, which he knew well.
Him: Where are you going?
Me: I’m going to the tile store.
Him: In what state?
Me (glaring): In California, you (fill in pejorative term here).
Him (smirking): Well, if you’re really going to the tile store, you’re apparently going by way of Oregon.
I reject the title of “complete moron” as was suggested by the co-pilot in the above story, but I will accept the title of “imprecise navigator.”
That’s one of three groups Steve Weisberg and Nora Newcombe identified in a study of navigational proficiency. The two others are “integrators,” who understand landmarks and have a sense of place, and “nonintegrators,” who are good with landmarks. The “imprecise navigator” excels at neither.
But, you say, GPS. Yes, there is that. And in a few more paragraphs, I’ll talk about a new micro-GPS that helps the imprecise navigator (or anyone else) who might get lost in, say, a large resort.
But for now, if you have trouble navigating, consider what Oksana Hagerty, an education and developmental psychologist at Beacon College in Leesburg, Fla., a college for those with learning disabilities, has to say.
“Spatial intelligence, which enables our sense of direction, is probably the most hidden of our intelligences,” she said in an email. “We are not always aware that the successful completion of many everyday activities depends on this particular ability, from ‘reading’ body language to moving furniture to make the room more comfortable to even anatomy exams. (Medical students with developed spatial ability have been found to perform better on these exams—unless they are paper-and-pencil multiple choice exams, of course.)
“In modern culture spatial information is, indeed, often ‘masked’ by verbal and numerical information. We have signs, maps (GPS) and itineraries to orient ourselves. If those are not available, we learn to use our own landmarks. It is somehow easier to turn ‘at the red building’ than to turn ‘south’ (provided that nobody changes the exterior of the building, of course).”
At this point in your life, you probably know which category you fall into. If you don’t, consider the last time you went into, say, a mall and came out a different door. Did you know where your car was?
If you have a mental map in your head, great. If you have chosen a landmark and can use that, great again. If you have neither, you need to create your own breadcrumbs. It’s about finding the strategy that works for you, said Becky Ward, education experience specialist for Tutor Doctor, which provides one-on-one tutoring.
Once you’ve found that strategy, you must be your own best advocate to get the information you need to find your way, she said. If you don’t understand “go three miles east and turn north,” Ward said, then say, “‘I’m not quite clear what you mean—is there any kind of distinct building I’m supposed to see or some other physical feature?'”
People aren’t “cured” of their lack of direction, which some consider a learning disability, but, Ward said, “a lot of times what happens as a student matures and becomes an adult is that the disability will be less of a disability because they are now putting those strategies into place.
“It becomes an automatic process. That’s the key.”
It’s also possible that an inability to navigate may be a lack of training.
“Lacking reading skills can be the result of not only dyslexia but also inadequate reading instruction,” Hagerty said. “The latter is easier to fix but only if appropriate instruction is available at an early age. The same with spatial ability. Some people lack the sense of direction more than others due to a neurodevelopmental deficiency, but modern society…has almost no tools (or need) to develop it, either spontaneously or by means of formal instruction.”
Parents can help their children by giving them opportunities to play that involve “doing Legos, studying art and geometry or hiking,” she said. Beyond that, they can help their kids by asking them to describe a place they know. That “helps develop memory for images,” she said.
Then there’s the GPS game: “When driving to familiar places, ask children to tell you where to go,” she said. That enhances visual acuity and sense of direction.
For the rest of us, there is GPS, which is great when it works, although if you lose a signal, you may be stranded. Maps are an analog backup that works for some. You may not be able to make sense of a map, whether it’s of the world’s highways and byways or the path to your room at the ginormous resort where you’re staying. You might as well be plopped in the wilderness as you turn that badly photocopied paper this way and that way.
Yes, I’ve done it. I just did it in Mexico, where I was sure I was going to have to sleep outside because I had no idea where I was or how to get to my room. My solution: Find someone who works there and tip nicely.
A tech solution still being rolled out may be your new best friend, whether it’s in a sprawling resort or a mall. Unlike big-picture GPS, this system will have its tech infrastructure inside the resort building to help phones get data and position the user on a map, said Nadir Ali, chief executive of Inpixon Indoor Intelligence.
Like your big GPS, this indoor mapping system will be able to guide you, using your phone, wherever you need help, once the technology is in place. It also can be used for security; the data are anonymous.
“We don’t know who you are or your phone number; we just see signals from sensors” indicating where you are, Ali said.
It also may be a way for guests to choose their room before check-in, which may give them a new measure of control and thus satisfaction, he said.
Is privacy a concern? What if you’re wandering the grounds and you see ads pop up on your phone for the property’s happy hour—say, two-for-one drinks? The customer gets to decide how much he or she wants to interact, Ali said.
The technology has applications for any large space—a cruise ship, a convention center, a casino.
An important consideration, Ali said, is that the hotel or property using the technology must focus on the guest experience, not foist itself on the unprepared.
That’s a wave that’s just beginning to crest, but for those who are drowning in disorientation, it may be the ticket to one of the rides we need.
