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.

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.

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.

THE DUST WILL NEVER SETTLE DOWN Who will fly in the winds of glee, And how strange are those munafiquun, The cheesy ‘Aqeedah is powerless, My lord wouldn’t be as pleased to see me,
And attack the kuffar as a group of bees? Who cut their ties with mu’minuun, When we strike the kuffar’s necks, As the one who killed for His Nabii,
Tomorrow can never be greeted, By showing alliance to your enemies, Killing them with every opportunity, So building blacklists to hunt them down,
May my mother be bereaved for you, Our Maulah never disappointed us, Until we see that you are righted. Lying on you that this is sunnah! For bringing them death is prosperity! And the dust will never settle down.
To bring the final end to kuffar, We will never wait for the rulers that fuss,
And may Allah raise an army too, To give us permission to defend you, The fire we bring them is nothing compared, And how they love to appease! My Rasul did I please him,
For insulting you with their tongues too We are in rush of the best sunnah. To what is with Him, Oh Ya Rabb! Their deen as soft as cheese, If my house I didn’t leave for him,
far. Our punishment is by bullets and bombs, Selling their religion for pleasure, To rush to the people of whim,
And Allah’s hastising greater than that! Is what they seek in life’s leisure. Against those who have their hearts dim?
Your rights will no doubt be fulfilled, Who will give support to Rasulullah, Written by the martyred Brother:
With the same sword that killed, And give the kuffar nothing but war? Assassinating the enemy of Allah, And how strange are these munafiqeen, My Rasul did I please him,
The kuffar whose tongue were too lean, Rushing to the most blessed deed, Will shed blood for Rasulullah, Allowing kuffar to desensitize muslimeen, If I kept being like everyone else? Samir Zafar Khan
And Maslamah brought this deen victory. Will implant Islam’s seed. When will his rights be realized, And speaking out every night, Unless if I jolted to his defense, (may Alah accept his martyrdom)
By the sprinters to the paradise? Against fulfilling your given right! Against those who have no sense.

THIS IS OUR ‘AQEEDAH
Author: Sheikh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi
“This is our ‘Aqeedah. Whoever possesses two
eyes then let him read and whoever possesses
hearing then let him listen!”
Sheikh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisy (may Allah
hasten his release), is a well known scholar who needs no introduction.
His works, especially in ‘Aqeedah (creed), have earned a great acceptance
in the Muslim world in general and among the mujahideen in particular.
In this book, Sheikh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisy expounds on the
‘Aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunah. His words are based on the verses of the Quran
and the authentic Ahadeeth of the Prophet “ .ﷺThis is a summary of
what we believe in and what we worship Allah with from the most
important areas of the din . . I wrote it in my jail cell after it had reached
me that there were some people who were ascribing things to us and
putting words in our mouths that we have never said; in particular, in the
areas of Kufr and Iman.”
The author takes us on a journey inside our hearts, showing us what
to believe in. He begins with the Tawheed of Allah, His Names and
Attributes. He then explains the pillars of Iman and the creed of Iman
and Kufr. He talks about democracy and its kufr. He argues democracy
is a religion made by man for man. He clarifies more topics regarding
muslim creed.
The Sheikh ends his book with Jihad and its rulings - an issue regarded
controversial today by the ‘moderate’ ‘civilized’ Muslims - “Jihad is
continuous with every group of the Muslims and the person can wage
jihad by himself or with the leaders, be they pious or corrupt, until the
Day of Judgment.” He then explains the rulings regarding the present
rulers who rule by other than what Allah has revealed, as this is a crucial
topic among the scholars of this era. While the issue’s ruling enjoyed a
consensus among the salaf (pious predecessors), today’s government
scholars have changed the scales to please their masters. NEW FROM AL-MALAHEM:
