The document summarizes the initial findings of the world's first science-based approach to corporate sustainability ratings using context-based carbon metrics. It found that 49 out of 100 major public companies scored as sustainable, while 51 scored as unsustainable, with Autodesk and Unilever topping the sustainable list. The new approach measures company emissions against science-based reduction targets needed to limit global warming, providing a more robust assessment of sustainability than relative or absolute metrics.
The document provides 5 strategies for moving from incremental to radical innovation: 1) Forget that Steve Jobs ruined innovation, 2) Focus on important work, not just insights, 3) Promote openness, 4) Use data to enable predictive change, not just understanding. It advocates demystifying innovation, creating a portfolio approach, looking beyond insights, promoting openness, and using data to enable prediction and change.

This document summarizes CDP's 2013 forests report, which collected information from companies on risks and opportunities related to deforestation. Key findings include:
- 139 companies disclosed, with over $3 trillion in market capitalization, a 39% increase from 2012.
- Demand for commodities like beef, soy, and palm oil is a primary driver of deforestation.
- Companies dependent on these forest risk commodities are exposed to regulatory, reputational, and operational risks from deforestation.
- Disclosing companies improved their scores by an average of 27% compared to 2012, showing better understanding of risks and actions to reduce deforestation impacts.

Therapeutic cloning involves harvesting somatic cells from a patient and using them to create patient-specific embryonic stem cells via somatic cell nuclear transfer. These stem cells could potentially be used to treat various diseases by replacing damaged tissues and organs, repairing autoimmune disorders, or delivering gene therapy. However, significant technological and moral barriers remain, including the inability to reliably create human embryonic stem cells through cloning and opposition from groups who believe such embryos should be considered viable human life. Further research is still needed to ensure stem cells can safely differentiate, survive in patients, and function properly without harm. A legal definition of when an embryo becomes an organism could help resolve some moral debates over therapeutic cloning.
The document describes a program to systematically train and supervise employees with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in office tasks. The program assigns binders containing process documents to employees, which describe daily tasks and how to track hours worked and progress. Employees' mastery of the tasks is tracked in a spreadsheet. While mastery rates varied across tasks and employees in the initial trial, the authors argue that with ongoing supervision the system could help neurodivergent individuals succeed in employment by clearly defining objectives and processes.

1. La vita non ci riserva sempre momenti felici. Ci sono periodi in cui tutto va storto e sembra che tutti siano contro di noi. E' facile, molto facile, arrendersi e cedere alle difficoltà che ci circondano. Ma è proprio in questi periodi che dobbiamo essere più forti ed essere tenacemente consapevoli che, per quanto dure possano essere le prove e per quanto difficile possa essere il cammino, in fondo al tunnel si vede la luce...
