Look carefully at the floor in this hallway. Is it warped? No, it?s actually perfectly flat. It was designed by Casa Ceramica, a tile company from Manchester, UK as a creative way to introduce clients to their showroom. Other uses suggested include stopping children running down a hallway. http://www.casaceramica.co.uk/our-optical-illusion-entrance/

After 12 years leading one of the world?s most well-known food and beverage companies, Indra Nooyi will step down as chief executive of PepsiCo in October. Every night at the dinner table, her mother would ask the children to write a speech about what they would do if they were president, chief minister or prime minister?? every day would be a different world leader they?d be asked to play. At the end of dinner, they had to give the speech, and she decided who she was going to vote for. In that way she gave them the confidence to be whatever they wanted to be https://www.smartcompany.com.au/people-human-resources/leadership/eleven-pearls-wisdom-outgoing-pepsico-chief-indra-nooyi/?

Imagine a shirt with the soft, natural feel of cotton but it doesn?t need to be ironed. Imagine as well active wear that breathes and is not smelly. While some synthetic fibres can do this, they are made from petrochemicals and every time you wash them, tiny microfibers of material are pulled free and enter our waterways. These fibres do not break down and can build up in the food chain. When you wash cotton, fibres are also shed but these are biodegradable and will break down rapidly. Some 100 % cotton products currently don't need ironing but these tend to have been treated with chemicals to give them their special properties. CSIRO is working on the solution. https://blog.csiro.au/best-of-both-whorls-cotton-with-the-benefits-of-synthetics/

Anyone who has tried to build an online marketplace or a completely custom website knows that it can be very costly. That's where Arcadier comes in. We aim to empower communities and entrepreneurs with our marketplace technology so they can make a difference. The ability to enable digitization of marketplaces will also drive the greater good of humanity, using fewer global resources (people, building materials, paper, electricity) to set up physical stores, yet allowing the same facilitation of driving a perfect economy of discovery and trade or peer-to-peer exchange. www.arcadier.com
