The Times: Evolution of the smart home

4/17/2015

 
Picture
The smart home of 2015 has automated and remote-controlled air temperature, lighting, locks and myriad other must-haves – an evolution of inventions dating back to the early-20th century

A Winning Personality: How Thinkers Win

4/17/2015

 
Picture
We can all see the effect of particularly assertive people getting what they want. But not all of us are like them; we might be people who think more deeply about consequences before pushing our agenda. How can we, the thinkers, be assertive and succeed?

It is perfectly possible to be both conscientious of others, and strong.

Financial Times: Retailers slash food wastage with collaborative social network

4/17/2015

 
Picture
Over the last couple of years, Plan Zheroes, an organisation focused on eliminating food wastage and helping the hungry, has set up a vital business social network that connects major retailers and the third sector. We can now take much more food before it is thrown out, and supply it to those in urgent need of nourishment.
