His father then talked about the long, wooden box he remembered from his childhood in Cuba. His father told him how the old contraption, called the Chinese Box, cut the roasting times virtually in half. Roberto asked his father to build their very own box. A few years later, the company, La Caja China, was born. Making the company's most popular model requires cutting and joining large pieces of plywood to form the box, and then scoring, bending and spot welding aluminum sheeting to form a lining. Other metal parts such as the charcoal tray and grid and the drip tray are produced in the company's factory in Medley, Florida. La Caja China provides a distinctive cooking experience for everyone. Anyone can set up our roasters simply by downloading our assembly instructions. So, what are you waiting for?

PBase The Social Conquest of Earth Edward O. Wilson’s latest book is structured around three questions: Where did we come from, what are we, and where are we going? Philosophers and theologians have been chewing on these questions for millennia, but subjectively—from inside the box, as it were. Only recently have our scientists generated enough hard, verifiable evidence about what we are and where we came from to allow us to step outside ourselves and describe our species objectively. Wilson has done an impressive job of pulling all this evidence together and analyzing it. So, where did we come from? Homo sapiens , says Wilson, is a highly complex species that has evolved from a series of lucky breaks, evolution-wise. Wilson concludes that we are a complicated lot, and for good reasons. It is this capacity for the evolution of large social groups that makes us special, according to Wilson. Eusociality, in the rare instances it is achieved, evolves through the process called multi-level selection.

If you want people to actually engage with your mobile app, not just download it and forget it, read on and take notes. 1. Design for distraction No one is paying full attention to your mobile app. Wroblewski wanted to streamline Polar’s interactions so that a user could take 10 polls in less than a minute using just one hand. 2. How often do you download an intriguing-sounding app, only to be confronted with a screen full of boxes to fill out before you can even launch it? This process, called “gradual engagement,” “is kind of controversial,” Wroblewski admits. 3. 4. Results Download Polar here, and read Luke Wroblewski’s blog here
