Today, nearly 43% of the world is connected to the internet1, enabling us to talk, share photos, and conduct business halfway across the globe. As a result, we have seen more technological advancements in the past 10 years than we’ve witnessed in the past 10,000 years. And in the next five years, we’ll see even more advancements.
In this overview provided by BI Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium subscription research service, we identify the key trend in each of our top vertical areas including Mobile, E-Commerce, Digital Media, Digital Financial Services, and the Internet of Things.
This document summarizes research on the effects of temperature on longevity in C. elegans. Microarray analysis identified lysosomal protease genes that are differentially expressed at 15°C vs 25°C. Follow up experiments showed that lysosome structure and number are altered at elevated temperatures. RNAi of temperature-regulated proteases caused progressive paralysis specifically at 15°C, indicating a role in neuronal health. Further experiments traced this paralysis to dysfunction of motor neurons rather than muscles. The research suggests that proteostasis, particularly lysosomal function, is important for neuronal health under cool temperatures and influences longevity.
Poverty is a global issue that affects over one-fifth of the world's population. Poverty means lacking the basic needs for survival, such as food, shelter, water, and clothing. It is more than just the lack of money - in developing countries, poverty also means not having access to employment, healthcare, education, and other resources needed to meet basic human needs. Money alone is not the solution to poverty; sustainable development projects and access to education and job opportunities are also needed to help lift people out of poverty.
O documento discute como as joaninhas trazem sorte por se alimentarem de pragas em plantações e como a sorte é na verdade resultado de oportunidade, competência e bons resultados. Também fala sobre como entender mudanças ambientais e tendências é essencial para o crescimento de empresas.

This document summarizes a workshop on building a culture of trust. It discusses how trust impacts speed and costs in organizations. It contrasts organizations where trust is low, with information hoarding and blame, to those with high trust, where people are loyal, accountable, and authentic. The workshop addresses changing behaviors to increase trust through integrity, competence, and character. It presents Covey's model of the four cores of credibility and five waves of trust building in organizations. Attendees participate in exercises on self-trust, managing trust accounts, and the 13 behaviors of high-trust organizations.
The document discusses hardware accelerators and startups. It notes that hardware startups face long development cycles traditionally but that hardware accelerators can help optimize the process.

This document discusses the benefits and challenges of responsive web design, which uses fluid grids and media queries to automatically adjust webpages to display well on different screen sizes. Responsive design improves the user experience across devices, helps websites reach wider audiences, and is more future-proof and search engine optimized compared to separate mobile sites. While retrofitting existing sites can be difficult, responsive design is supported by modern browsers and content management systems.
Kent Nichols, "Downshifting Your Life to Rev Up Your Creativity"WebVisions
Kent Nichols left his six-figure job in Los Angeles to move with his family to Bend, Oregon in search of a better quality of life with less stress and more time. While the pay cut was significant, the cost of living is much lower in Bend and they no longer spend hours commuting each day. Nichols works remotely on creative projects and takes occasional gigs in LA while enjoying outdoor activities and a creative community in Bend. The lifestyle change has benefited his health, relationships and mental well-being despite some challenges in being accepted by locals and missing live city amenities.
