Technologies, ideas, change, something completely new that changed our lives this year, and maybe even forever. About the weather, about the work of the cosmos!
Can a change of attitude to low-paid workers become the new hot business strategy?
Aetna, Gap, Starbucks - and even Walmart - change strategy, and to pay related to the better-paid workers.
Imagine! The audience of office in Jacksonville, Florida, gathered nearly 200 employees Aetna - the rest were connected by a network - to communicate with the CEO.
They expect that everything will go to the town hall-style Q & A. But no, they had a surprise, especially those who are on the lower rungs of the hierarchy of office: CEO Mark Bertolini said that those who earn less than $ 16 dollars an hour, receive a salary increase.
Right on the satellite are detectives who caught the company, destroying the planet from space
Now that all available photos of the cosmos, it's time to use them to stop the nefarious companies who commit covert action.
For decades, the lawyer Ray Purdy worked at the academy, studying the information received from the satellites as direct evidence and tools to address the problems of environmental law. His work has long been close to the scientific world: every month he received a call from police associations for the protection of the environment, representatives of the ministries. They all wanted to receive satellite images, but it was difficult to find and even more difficult to study. Purdy realized that this is just a chance for him.
Satellites are becoming less everything is cheaper, easier to deliver them all. A huge number of start-ups, including Planet Labs and Skybox (bought by Google in 2014) create a space fleet, which can make and send images every corner of the planet, with sufficiently high resolution so you can see the hatch or the number on the sign. Purdy and Ray Harris, a professor of geography at University College London, who devoted his career to the study of the earth, participated in the creation of Air and Space Evidence, agency, specializing in the use of satellite imagery as evidence in the investigation of the insurance cases, and legal violations. Two Ray, who act as intermediaries between the companies and people who want to use information from cosmic bodies, called the business space detective agency.
Do not relax: discomfort as a new kind of convenience.
It's time to stop mankind from turning into a useless mass, eternally seeking fun! Some designers deny ideology simplify life and come up with new challenges in our lives.
When you enter the Intervator - hacked elevator in Essen, Germany - and press the fifth floor, a lift takes you to the fourth and tells you that it's time to warm up a bit!
"All this in order to understand how you can change your behavior every day, to let something new," - says Matthias Leshke, PhD German Folkvang University of the Arts, who is working with designers, inventors, and that broke the elevator panel .
Now that we really can do Geo-engineering the planet, why not make it the truth?
Engineers dream to remake the planet that we live with our carbon emissions. How to stop the state from one of panic solutions press?
Here's a scenario that seems plausible, especially if we continue down this path ignoring climate change: drought in northern China, exacerbated by global warming. People are dying. Huge waves of migration. The government, which is well known for his attitude to crisis situations, decided on a plan to change the weather by spraying sulphate aerosols using - a combination of water vapor and sulfur - from aircraft. The wind spreads it all over the planet, ultimately increasing the albedo of the planet (the ability to reflect the sun's rays back into space). The process of global warming is changing, even if greenhouse gases continue to accumulate. So the warming process will thus be stopped and drought in China as a result.
This operation is not too much especially in comparison with the huge costs of items - instead of wasting billions of dollars a year, according to David Cave, one of the foremost advocates of Geo-engineering and professor of applied physics and public policy at Harvard - the spread of sulfate aerosols, having a global impact can be accomplished with one airbases.

Aerosol can make the sky more white, reminding us that we change the climate. But how much it would mean for the whole world, this process prevent many deaths. In any case, it is not known how the international community can stop China or India on changes in shape of the earth without the permission of the whole world.
You'll wear leather clothes, grown in the laboratory before have grown in the same burger.
No cow will not suffer when creating your bags.
Scientists can already grow a burger in a petri dish. But before we see lab-grown steaks on a market stall, we will find her skin at fashion shows.
According to the Modern Meadow, one of Start-ups in Brooklyn, we've got a future in which "grow, and does not clog." The company is working simultaneously on what you can eat and what you can wear. In the production of the presence of living beings is not necessary. CEO Andras Forgas says that grown in the laboratory skin will appear before the meat on the shelves. And it will be easier for people to accept the new biotechnology, first in the form of clothing, not a product, lying on a plate.
Please turn off their phones. Or do we turn off their own.
The increase in the places where we will be disconnected from all technologies - a useful innovation.
Head over to the usual cafe in London, or indeed in any other city, where you can find freelancers to leptopam sticky, people who scrolls without stopping on their smartphones ... But this year in London will be something special: a cafe, which will automatically block signals WI-fi, so that you pay attention to your friends, but not on the technology.
