The Gold Cup continues on Thursday night as Concacaf stalwart Costa Rica clashes with Caribbean minnow Bermuda. The Ticos are coming off a decisive 4-0 victory over Nicaragua, while the Gombey Warriors fell to Haiti by a single goal. Tonight is their chance to score a big upset, but it won’t come easy. Gold Cup 2019: Costa Rica vs Bermuda Date:  Thursday, June 20 Start Time:  9:30 PM TV Channels:  FS1, UDN, Univision Live Stream:  fuboTV (watch for free) While Costa Rica has been consistently successful in World Cup qualifying campaigns, their Gold Cup record is more suspect. The Ticos have never won the Gold Cup in its current form, with their highest finish coming in 2002 as runners-up. After a disappointing performance at the 2018 World Cup, Costa Rica is eager to re-establish the team’s upward trajectory. Meanwhile, Bermuda made their Gold Cup debut against Haiti and went ahead early before ultimately falling 2-1. Captain Dante Leverock capitalized on a corner to head ho

Last week, NPR’s "All Things Considered" covered an unusual topic: Scientific conference posters. For the first time in decades, scientists are rethinking the traditional design of the posters they make to share their research at meetings. This sudden spotlight on what was always a mundane part of scientific discourse has launched a conversation about the need for basic art and design skills for scientists. A classic poster session at the 2014 conference of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). NASA Ames Scientific conferences are a lot like any other professional conference: A series of talks in hotel event centers, a marketplace of company booths, networking events. But there’s another aspect to scientific conferences. With more researchers hoping to share their research than there are presentation slots in the conference program, many scientists instead summarize their work on a poster.

What kind of product is it?” Renton sees scores of labels –not all of them effective. Here is his take on what makes a good label, a bad label and how to come up with an effective design.

Best graphic design software of 2019 graphic design Provided by Future Publishing Ltd. Affinity Designer Best graphic design software While there are a large number of graphics programs, built to allow you to create, develop, and manipulate graphical images, there is a smaller set of dedicated graphic design software packages.  A key distinction between graphics software and graphic design software is that the former needs to be able to work to a wider range of formats, not least for printing. This is especially a concern for the graphic design industry, where the images and designs used may need to be recreated in very large formats that require professional printing services. Therefore it's essential for the graphic design packages being used to be able to cope with clear distinctions and demands inherent to all levels of print and publishing processes. A key concern isn't just faithful representation of colors, but also ensuring image integrity even when blown up

Businesses spent over a trillion dollars on enterprise software and IT services last year, with a healthy forecasted growth fueling an otherwise flat IT market. You might expect this investment would be producing better and better software, but every day you probably experience the reverse. Cryptic error messages, confusing flows and plain old software crashes seem as inevitable as death and taxes. But they don’t need to be. The difference between disappointment and software people love to use boils down to just five golden rules. In previous posts, I discussed the fundamentals of understanding your user and creating a consistent and performant experience. In this final post, we wrap up balancing the needs of the head (pragmatic security) with the heart (user delight).  Rule No. 4: Be Secure (Yet Practical) Data is digital, and digital data is vulnerable. Personal data, corporate secrets -- it’s all fair game for cybercriminals. It doesn’t matter how performant or user-cen

"I need to be a different sort of doctor for people at different ages and phases of old age." Robert Lang Photography/Getty Images Dr. Louise Aronson says the U.S. doesn't have nearly enough geriatricians — physicians devoted to the health and care of older people: "There may be maybe six or seven thousand geriatricians," she says. "Compare that to the membership of the pediatric society, which is about 70,000." Aronson is a geriatrician and a professor of medicine at the University of Cali
