A river with dignity and personality
On March 15, 2017 the New Zealand parliament enacted the first of its kind laws to give a river a legal identity. The Whanganui River, from now on, is a “legal person,” a status and privilege that is only allowed to humans in the rest of the world. The rights and interests of the river can be defended in a court of law.

Factory 4.0: The Biggest Problem May Be The Noise You Can't Hear
We all know that the factory floor can be a noisy place: noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common occupational illnesses in the U.S., but not only humans are at risk. Unseen and unheard electronic noise can wreak havoc with sensors and communications systems, especially since the arrival of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), also known as Factory 4.0.
