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%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.

Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.

Facial hair is generally much coarser than the hair found on your head. To get the job done, you’ll need
both the right method, and the right products. It is wise to cleanse your facial hair with a light shampoo
made with gentle ingredients to prepare it for the deeper conditioning needed. But, a word of caution; a
lot of commercial brand shampoos and conditioners contain sodium lauryl sulfate, a detergent that has
been proven to cause skin irritation, beard dandruff, and split bristles. Strangely enough, the same stuff
is used to clean up engine oil spills as well. Do not use this on your face. Carefully read the ingredient
labels on all the products you have been using and make sure sodium lauryl sulfate is not on the list.
Some wonderful shampoos can be found at your local health food store. Good ingredients to look for
are aloe vera, green tea, and vitamin E.
Deep conditioning should be done at the very least, once a week. If you are a facial fur athlete you may
want to condition a little more often. We will be discussing 3 effective external approaches to
conditioning your beard or moustache, and then move into diet, supplements, and herbs you may want
to consider adding to your regimen to maintain and promote optimum facial hair growth and sheen.
Hot Oil and Honey Conditioning Treatment
The Ingredients:
The honey and hot oil treatment consists of, honey and, uh, hot oil! Specifically, we are talking about
sesame and jojoba oil. And back to the honey, “Honey?” yes honey. Honey is great nourishment for the
hair thanks to the many vitamins, minerals, and antibacterial properties it naturally contains. It also acts
as an excellent humectant i.e. it attracts moisture, which is exactly what coarse bristles need.
Sesame and jojoba are used for this treatment as they are chemically similar to oils produced by our
sebaceous glands. Because of this, these oils absorb much easier than others into facial hair. Similar to
honey, these oils also have anti-inflammatory properties, and when used in combination provide a
synergistic power house of conditioning, while at the same time end that itching and irritation that
many bearded men experience.

4. You’ll also need some cider vinegar. The vinegar will remove the natural oils and build up from your
bristles allowing the hot oil and honey direct access to the follicle.
The Method:
In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and 4 tablespoons
of honey, preferably local. Whisk the ingredients together over low heat on the stove. Do not over heat
the mixture. Remove when serum is completely blended and not too hot to the touch.
Allow the mixture to cool for 1 minute. In this time prepare the facial hair with cider vinegar. Massage
the cider vinegar into the beard or moustache and brush through with a comb. This procedure can also
be done before you prepare the treatment in order to give it time to dry. You do not need to rinse the
vinegar out before applying the mix.
Now you are ready to apply the serum. Use a small toothbrush or comb to apply to the facial hair. Work
into the hair until each bristle is coated thoroughly. Allow it to work its magic for 30 minutes before you
rinse out with warm water. Any excess mixture can be put in a mason jar and saved for next time. For
best results, this conditioning treatment should ideally be done once a week, but at least twice a month.
**For a vegan version of this treatment simply leave out the honey
Overnight Leave-in Treatment
In this next treatment we will again be using natural oils. There are a few to choose from and everyone
will have their favorite. We recommend you try all 4 in different combinations and see what works best
for you. Oils that work well as a leave in conditioner are: Jojoba, Sesame, Argan, and Sweet Almond Oil.
Mix equal parts of two oils from the list in a jar and apply an hour or two before bed. Over the sink,
massage the oils into your hair with the tips of your fingers. No need to pretreat hair with cider vinegar
since the concoction will have hours to work its way into your facial hair. Next, run a comb or
toothbrush through your beard or mustache to remove excess oils. Left over mixture can be stored in a
mason jar for up to 6 months. Before putting your head to pillow, as a precaution, run your fingers
through your facial hair to see if is still oily, if it is dab up excess oil with a paper towel. Chances are it
will already be absorbed and at work. The next morning, rinse in the shower but do not shampoo. This
treatment should be done once a week or more if you are competing.
Leave-in Daytime Conditioner
The next treatment is a strengthening yet conditioning infusion. You will need a half cup of dried
rosemary, 4 ounces of grape seed oil, a candy/cooking thermometer, a Pyrex glass bowl, and a pot that
the bowl can rest in without touching the bottom. We are building a poor man’s double boiler, but if you
happen to have a double boiler even better.
Combine the rosemary and the oil in the glass bowl and stir until all the herb is under the oil. In the pot,
add about an inch of water. Put on the stove and adjust the heat to very low, just under simmer. Put the

different, and this may take a little bit of tweaking in order to find the sweet spot on the dial that will
keep your infusion at a steady temp. Leave on the stove for 2 days. A cold infusion can also be done by
combining the ingredients in a mason jar and leaving them to sit for a month, shaking the jar once a day
for about a minute. I personally find the hot process to be easier and more potent in its released
properties.
Rosemary in traditional medicine is believed to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. It is also
believed to slow and prevent graying whiskers. Rosemary has been seen to clear dandruff while at the
same time deeply condition. Grape seed oil like the previous oils mentioned mimics the hairs natural oil
and is absorbed quickly into the follicles. It strengthens hair, ads shine, and a soft feel.
Brush mixture sparingly into your facial hair in the morning. This leave-in treatment will leave your fur
feeling soft, smooth, and non-greasy all day long. Keep in a mason jar, in a cool dark place in between
use.
Supplements & Herbs
Vitamin Deficiency is one of the major causes of dry, damaged, and brittle whiskers, so pay attention in
the next section, and maybe put some of these items on the shopping list for the next time you’re at the
market. Vitamins can naturally be attained through a proper diet of quality food, but thanks to our
monster of a food industry, a lot of stuff that makes it to our table is so depleted in vitamins and
nutrients that it’s no better than filler. So eat well and supplement in combination and you will see an
improvement in all aspects of your life…especially in the gain of facial fur gold!
Below you will find additional information on herbs and nutrients that can have a positive effect on
hair health. Some of these items are easily obtained from food, while others are best taken in the
form of a dietary supplement.
Herbs
Gotu Kola: Gotu Kola is an herb that has thousands of years of recorded use in both Traditional
Medicine from India (Ayurveda), and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Most famously, it is known to help
with cognitive function and memory improvement, but it has been used to treat a wide variety of
ailments including hair loss. The plant is part of the parsley family, and contains a host of nutrients and
amino acids. These include thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, vitamin K, serine, threonine, alanine, lysine,
magnesium, calcium and sodium. It is typically consumed as a powdered herb in tea or capsule form.
Nettle Root: Nettle root helps to prevent hair loss brought on by hormonal imbalances. It can
effectively block cell receptor sites that would otherwise bind with hormones that are responsible for
male pattern baldness and general hair loss in both men and women. On a side note, nettle is an
excellent herb to preserve overall hormone health in men, especially as they age.

6. Aloe Vera Juice: Aloe contains a complex carbohydrate called acemannan with properties that work by
enhancing immune cell function. The juice may also kill yeast and parasites, as well as promote the
growth of new, healthy cells. Healthy immune system = healthy hair. It can also be applied topically to
the facial hair as yet another moisturizing conditioner.
Mix aloe in a cup with water, equal parts and add a squirt of lemon for taste. This is actually quite a
refreshing drink. You can purchase Aloe Juice by the gallon or half gallon at any health food store. It’s
not that costly and well worth its weight in gold.
Horsetail: This herb is a kind of grass that is very rich in silica, potassium, manganese, and selenium. It
also contains saponins and flavonoids that promote elasticity of both skin and hair. Silica in particular is
a very beneficial nutrient for hair growth as it helps to strengthen, nourish, and vitalize hair through its
action in forming collagen. Horsetail contains the most silica of any known member of the plant
kingdom. It is typically consumed as a tea or in supplement form.
Parsley: I know what you’re thinking, parsley? Yes, parsley for hair growth. It is high in fatty acids and
vitamins that hasten hair growth. It can be used both externally as a hair “mask” to help balance the
sebaceous glands, and internally as a dietary aid.
To use externally, boil fresh parsley in water for 20 minutes, drain and then put in a blender and puree
into a paste to be applied to the hair. Leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse.
Fo-Ti: Also known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as he shou wu, it has been used for millennia to
reverse the greying of hair, and improve shine and elasticity. Popular in many formulas for longevity, fo
ti is an herb that is considered a tonic in Chinese Medicine. Tonic herbs are used to promote longevity
and to improve the function of organs and glands in the body. Fo Ti specifically is a kidney tonic and
therefore is typically used by people who are showing signs of aging which can include hair changes such
as baldness, dry brittle hair, and greying. Many people in the West take fo ti as a standalone herb but
historically it is used in combination with other herbs to synergistically treat the indicated issues. A
great Chinese formula for hair health that includes fo ti is called shou wu pian. It will not work overnight
but with consistent use can be very effective at reversing greying of hair.
Dong Quai: This is another herb that has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Often
thought of as an herb for women, dong quai, or dang gui (as many Chinese Medicine practitioners call it)
is actually a beneficial herb for men. It supports hair growth by promoting healthy blood cell formation
and encouraging the regulation of hormones.
Vitamins & Nutrients
Zinc: Aids the body to properly utilize protein. Hair is a protein based filament made up of keratin.
When you have enough zinc in your body more keratin will speedily be produced. Zinc also helps in
maintaining a healthy immune system. Illness and other maladies cause stress to the system which in
turn may cause hair loss or damage. Make sure to add more chickpeas to your diet for they are loaded
with Zinc and Vitamin B6!

7. Vitamin E: Is a hair growing machine! This vitamin encourages capillary formation and regulation which
increases circulation and speeds healthy hair growth. Vitamin E is fat soluble so make sure to take this
with a meal containing fats. It can be found in green leafy vegetables, nuts, and eggs.
Vitamin B-12: Is actually part of the structure that makes up your hair, so keeping sufficient levels of B12
will increase overall hair health. I personally recommend taking a B-complex, for each of the B vitamins
play a crucial role in hair growth and keratin production.
Vitamin B6: People deficient in vitamin B6 often will lose their hair. B6, as with many other B vitamins,
is key component in many important bodily processes including hair growth. In addition, B6 will help
with digestion, mood, and energy levels so it’s hard to find a reason not to want to make sure you are
getting enough of this important player. It can also thwart hair loss through its ability to inhibit the
formation of certain hormones responsible for male baldness.
Biotin: Also known as vitamin B7, Vitamin H, and Coenzyme R, biotin has a well established reputation
as, “The hair growth vitamin.” It has been widely used to promote both growth and elasticity of hair, as
well as protecting against dryness, could we really ask for anything more? In fact, one symptom of a
biotin deficiency is hair loss. It is a water soluble vitamin that can be easily obtained through many
dietary sources including: beans, cauliflower, nuts, peanut butter, whole grains, and swiss chard.
Folic Acid or Folate: Technically, folic acid the synthetic version of folate, also known as vitamin B9. It is
essential for the healthy growth of hair, skin, and nails, as well as possessing a multitude of other health
promoting factors. It aids in rapid cell growth, the formation of red blood cells, and has been studied to
evaluate its effectiveness in treating hair loss extensively, with very positive results. It is found in high
concentrations in dark leafy greens, citrus, and beans.
Vitamin A: It does 2 main things: it helps with overall hair and cellular health, and it’s a powerful
antioxidant. It works by getting younger cells to mature faster so your body can regenerate and repair
damaged whiskers quickly. Vitamin A is fat soluble so take with a meal containing fats. You will find this
super vitamin naturally in paprika, cayenne, chili powder, and red pepper, so time to stock up on your
seasonings! Also, you will find Vitamin A in sweet potatoes, carrots, dark leafy greens, cantaloupe, and
dried apricots.
Magnesium: Actually, a deficiency or overabundance of magnesium can cause hair loss. But the truth is
that most people are somewhat deficient in this mineral and would benefit in many ways by adding
more of it into their diet. Magnesium can be easily obtained through food but is also available in
supplement form. In addition to promoting healthy hair growth, magnesium can be useful for stress,
sleep issues, fatigue, muscle cramps, and constipation. Magnesium tends to work pretty quickly so
you’ll know fast if it is right for you.
L-Lysine: L-lysine is being studied for its apparent helpfulness in certain kinds of genetic hair loss. Many
people suffering from this type of hair loss issue have reported amazing results by taking L-lysine. It is
necessary for both iron and zinc absorption and thus contributes to healthy blood circulation and
protein formation.

8. Herbs, vitamins, and nutrients, like anything else out there, vary in quality, so be weary and don’t go
cheap, you get what you pay for! That being said, keep in mind it is the same thing with the food you
eat, garbage in, garbage out, as the old saying goes. Eat organic when at all possible and try eating 5 or 6
smaller meals during the course of the day, every 3 hours; a balance of protein and carbs with a little fat
thrown in. Keep a pill box on you with all your vitamins during the day, and mix up what you’re taking.
The human body is very tricky and we can’t exactly pin point when absorption is happening so switch up
what you’re taking and when. The only supplements taken at the same time should be magnesium,
calcium and vitamin c. They work together to aid each other in absorption. Multi vitamins are a scam, so
don’t even go there. A lot of the vitamins contained in a multi cancel each other out when taken in
combination making them ineffective. Also be sure to drink lots of water, the body needs to stay
hydrated in order for the hair to grow.
You want great whiskers? Well, you gotta work for them. I’m not saying you need to make major
changes all at once, but slowly introduce something new from this guide to your everyday life, and you
will be on the road to facial fur rock stardom!
Good luck on your quest and enjoy the conditioning recipes I have shared with you. I personally use all
of the recipes and cannot begin to tell you how powerful they are in their conditioning and healing
ability. If you take away nothing more than the recipes from this guide you will see a noticeable
difference in your facial hair within a week. If you apply everything set out here, you will gain a certain
edge and new confidence in the next whisker comp you participate in! Please drop us a line and keep us
