Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack
1. What are the differences between having Amazon sell your book and your creating a seller's account to sell your
book yourself at Amazon? Time and money. As an author, you will have to decide whether time or money is more
important to you in working with Amazon, or you can balance out both ways at least until you decide which works
best for you. Below are explanations for how to do both and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
List Your Book for Amazon to Sell
How: This requires creating an "Amazon Advantage" account, perhaps aptly named because Amazon rather than
the author receives most of the advantage. To join, you need copies of your book, an ISBN, and a bar code. Then
visit Amazon Advantage. Follow the steps but read the fine print. Amazon charges an annual fee ($29.95 currently
and nonrefundable whether or not any of your books sell) and its commission is 55% of your retail price. Amazon
will notify you to send books and how many. You pay Amazon Offers the shipping and have no say over the
number you send. If Amazon wants fifty, you pay the shipping on fifty, even if the books don't sell. If Amazon only
wants two at a time, you may find yourself making frequent small shipments which can be time consuming and
more costly than one large shipment if your book is selling steadily.
Advantage: Once Amazon receives your books and starts selling them, you don't have to deal with mailing out
individual orders.
Disadvantages: Not only do you have to pay an annual fee to be listed, but Amazon's 55% commission is very
high. For example, a book priced at $25.95 would mean a profit of $11.68 for the author. Remember you also need
to figure in the cost of shipping the books to Amazon so your profit will be even lower.
Be an Independent Seller Through Amazon
How: You can't sell your book independently on Amazon until it is listed there, so regardless, your book needs an
Amazon Advantage account. You can follow the steps above, become an Amazon Advantage client, and then later
tell Amazon the book is no longer available, or if you are traditionally published, published by a subsidy press, or
sign up with a distributor like Ingram, your publisher or distributor will create your Amazon Advantage account for
you and pay the fees, just giving you the royalties you agreed on with the publisher or distributor. Today, many
independent printers and book design firms will also list books at Amazon for self-published authors and simply
charge a small flat one-time fee (usually around $50) to list your book for you. The book can be listed as out of
stock, meaning Amazon has no copies, and you don't need to send them any.
Once your book has a listing at Amazon, you can open a seller account with Amazon to sell your book
independently. First, look up your book title on Amazon. On the right side of the screen for your Amazon listing is
a little boxed area with the question, "Have one to sell?" followed by a button to click on that says, "Sell Yours
Here." Click the button and follow the steps to list your book and your information. You can list as many copies
available as you like, provided you have that many copies in stock. Customers can now buy the book directly from
you rather than Amazon. You pay nothing to Amazon until the book sells.
Advantages: The advantages are many, especially in terms of your profit. Rather than take 55% in commission like
with an Amazon Advantage Account, Amazon takes something closer to 25%. Amazon also gives you a $3.99
credit to ship your book, which should pay the cost of shipping if you ship via media mail. So for example, that
$25.95 book we used as an example previously and which weighs about one pound, will cost you $2.77 to mail.
Amazon pays you $23.71 for the sale, including the $3.99 for shipping) which means your profit is $20.94 (about
double the $11.68 minus shipping had you sold it through Amazon Advantage).
Another advantage to an individual seller account is that while Amazon may list your book at retail of $25.95, in
your seller account you can list it slightly under that price so it appears less expensive to customers. You can also
list the book, not only as "New" but include that it is autographed by the author and personally shipped by him or
2. her. Even if you sign the books you ship directly to Amazon, Amazon won't advertise for you that they are
autographed, so listing your books on your seller account as "signed by the author" may be an advantage for you.
Many readers will feel an autographed book is of more value than one that is not.
A final advantage is that you get your buyer's address and email information, so you know more about your
customer than you would if Amazon had sold the book. You can retain that information for future marketing
mailings or updates to the customer when your next book comes out. Eventually, you might persuade the
customer to buy directly through your website rather than through Amazon, thus giving you a greater profit in
sales.
Disadvantages: You must ship the book within 48 hours of the order, and you are responsible for packaging and
shipping, which means if your book is popular you will be making frequent trips to mail it, but it's worthwhile if the
book is selling.
Another disadvantage is that Amazon customers cannot receive FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders of $25 or
more if a product is from an Amazon Seller rather than Amazon directly. This might make the customer less likely
to buy your product, but if readers really want your book, they probably won't mind paying a few extra dollars for
shipping. However, if Amazon is also selling your book, customers will most likely opt to purchase that copy rather
than looking at copies available from sellers.
As an author, you need to determine which selling option at Amazon is most beneficial for you. In my opinion,
listing yourself as an independent seller is the better choice and Amazon's best kept secret, but as I said, you can
do both and experiment until you decide which one provides the greatest monetary return for your time and
financial investment.
Keratin hair straightening at home can be beneficial to those who need to save money, yet want a keratin
treatment to help their hair.
Since these treatments run on the expensive side, this article will tell you where you can get the keratin products
at good prices, as well as how these treatments can work.
Unlike other hair straightening processes, keratin works on restructuring the hair shaft; getting rid of frizz and
damage.
Keratin is a natural protein found in our hair, nails, skin, and teeth. This protein is what helps keep these areas of
our body strong. As we get older, this protein lessens which can leave us with brittle teeth, unhealthy skin, brittle
nails, and dry, lifeless hair. A Keratin treatment for your hair can replenish the protein and make your hair look
bright and healthy again. These treatments are effective for all hair types including chemically treated hair.
The Keratin Process
The process of having a keratin treatment is pretty simple. So simple in fact that it can be done at home. Doing
your own treatment can save you money, since these products are expensive to begin with. Having the treatment
done in a salon will wind up costing you even more money for the service fees alone.
Before applying any kind of keratin treatment on your hair, you should first wash it with a special sodium free
shampoo. Sodium free shampoo cleans your hair better since it does not contain artificial ingredients and
perfumes.
The hair is then dried and divided into several sections.
3. The keratin therapy solution is then applied to each section very thoroughly.
It is best to work with one section at a time. After applying the keratin solution, each section is then straightened
with a flat iron several times. This enables the solution to become locked into the hair cuticle.
After the process is completed, the hair is then washed after 72 hours. At this point it is VERY important to use a
sodium free shampoo and conditioner. Coppola Keratin shampoo and conditioning products work best for this.
After one of these treatments, the hair becomes healthier, smoother, more manageable, and shinier than before.
Curly hair will become lusciously straight for up to 5 months without frizz and dryness. However, the internal
structure of the hair cuticle does not undergo any kind of change during the treatment.
Where can I buy products for keratin hair straightening at home at a good price?
Keratin products do run on the expensive side. However, there are some places online that do offer them at some
pretty decent prices, you just need to know where to look.
Buying products online definitely can cost you less than purchasing them through retail. In most cases, online
distributors carry more in stock than retail stores and therefore are able to sell products at lower prices.
After looking for keratin products online, I have found Amazon to offer the best deals. Amazon is a reputable
online store that offers an excellent shopping experience. Not only does Amazon make online shopping efficient
and easy, they also provide same day shipping so you can get your products rather quickly.
Amazon offers a large variety of keratin products with the best prices.
