Credit: CC0 Public Domain There has been significant growth in the implementation of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) initiatives in the workplace—but that doesn’t mean businesses are getting it right. In their efforts to break down barriers, firms often end up marginalizing disadvantaged groups, resulting in more harm than good. Patricia Hein, professor of sustainability at the Ivey Business School at Western University, and Shaz Ansari, professor of strategy and innovation at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, U.K., gained insights from a decade of research on benevolent marginalization experienced by women and individuals with disabilities in the workplace.

Adur District Council said the building in Shoreham’s Buckingham Park, which is used by Shoreham RFC and others on a pay-and-play basis, “lets down the rest of the park aesthetically” but also “fails to meet the needs of its users”. The toilet facilities are of a poor standard and the building itself needs constant maintenance due to its age, at significant cost to the council. Work has been undertaken with various sporting groups over several years to find a suitable solution that benefits all those who use the pavilion while being good value, the council said. It has now agreed…

Powerful machine-learning algorithms known as vision and language models, which learn to match text with images, have shown remarkable results when asked to generate captions or summarize videos. While these models excel at identifying objects, they often struggle to understand concepts, like object attributes or the arrangement of items in a scene. For instance, a vision and language model might recognize the cup and table in an image, but fail to grasp that the cup is sitting on the table. Researchers from MIT, the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, and elsewhere have demonstrated a new technique that utilizes computer-generated data to…

Spurred on by enthusiasm for a forthcoming spot ETF, Bitcoin has catapulted to an 18-month high, surpassing the $37,000 mark Thursday.The cryptocurrency’s resurgence comes after a period of relative disinterest from mainstream market participants.

Still, the surge in Bitcoin’s price can be attributed to a combination of factors, including renewed institutional interest, growing adoption, and a favorable macroeconomic climate. Institutional investors, often considered a significant driving force behind Bitcoin’s price movements, have once…

The only thing constant is change — isn’t that how the saying goes? We know that wildlife in western forests evolved with changing habitat and disturbances like wildfire. Each species responds differently, some benefiting from openings, others losing critical habitat. What we don’t know is how increasing fire severity at large scales is impacting their habitat and survival, because many species are not adapted to these types of “megafires.” Researchers at the Rocky Mountain Research Station set about finding some answers. They summarize their findings in “The 2020-2021 California megafires and their impacts to wildlife habitat,” a paper that published…

Trees will be cut down in a bid to restore the original views intended by Pavilion architect John Nash, if plans are approved.
