Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Content personalisation is becoming more prevalent. A site, it's content and/or it's products, change dynamically according to the specific needs of the user. SEO needs to ensure we do not fall behind of this trend.

FBE Forum October 23: Creating a Food Safety Manual in Agritourism Enterprisesvsimonnobes
Presented by Doolarie Singh-Knights (West Virginia University
Division of Resource Management) and Cindy Martell, West Virginia Department of Agriculture
Potty training for the non-disabled child usually begins at around the age of 18 months to two years, and the child is usually ‘trained’ by day at around two and-a-half years.
In patients who have experienced physical impairment, the goal is accomplished by introducing new activities in which they can successfully participate or by reintroducing activities they enjoyed prior to the injury.
One focus of therapeutic recreation intervention is to promote self-acceptance and confidence by helping individuals develop skills and talents.
The following PPT is on "First Aid Box". It contains all the necessary information required, starting from basic first aid training to what should be there in a first aid box.
