 It's a familiar scene: you explain the general outline of a project to your team — but no one takes the immediate initiative to contribute fresh ideas to the plan. If your employees routinely seem to hesitate when it comes to jumping into a new task, it's probably not a lack of motivation — it's most likely because they don't know how proactive you really want them to be. Yet you no doubt want your employees to bring you their A-game when it comes to giving each project their all from the start — so let them know it and help them do it!

Through modern retargeting, I can manipulate you into believing something you do not believe.
And when I say I can, I mean anyone can: the media, government, marketers, online business owners ... anyone! You see, your mind largely works on a subconscious level. During every second of your waking day, it takes in — and filters — tremendous amounts of information. It needs to. You would not get through the day unless it subconsciously took in information, spat it out and made assumptions on the back of it.

 The food and beverage industry is witnessing a paradigm shift. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things are changing the way food is processed and transferred as well as the way consumers shop. The most impact these new capabilities have had is on the manufacturing side of things.

Another day, another coffee study. New research suggests that coffee can protect your brain — and the roast matters.
Canadian researchers from the Krembil Brain Institute in Toronto tested Starbucks VIA Instant light roast, dark roast and decaffeinated dark roast for compounds known as phenylindanes. That's because they think the compounds, which are the result of the roasting process, are the key to brain health — not necessarily the amount of caffeine.

Considering the advent of Apple Pay's contactless counterparts for non-Apple phones — Android Pay and Samsung Pay — the existence of a variety of services has been the defining trait of the mobile payments scene.
