I personally envision a world with food security where there is enough food to feed everyone in the world. As of 2017, more than one quarter of the world population suffer from malnutrition, and nearly 1 billion are chronically hungry.  Food security become a major global challenge because of the population growth and climate change.  World population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050 from 7.6 billion in 2017.  Because of the climate change, currently there are 40% of the world's landmass is arid, and rising temperatures will turn yet more of it into desert. At the current rate, the amount of food we're growing today will feed only half of the population by 2050. 

Sunscreen is a key preventive tool, however, if you don't use enough or use it incorrectly, it is just not going to work. If used properly, you are leaving yourself open to premature aging (wrinkles and melanin deposits caused by sun exposure) or worse, skin cancer.  Here're some tips stay safe in the sun: Don't Wait Until You're Outside SPF needs 20 minutes to sink in before your skin is completely protected from UV rays. If you wait, you might be wearing no sunblock at all for that first half-hour you are outdoors. Never Rely on Makeup While it may be tempting to skip the sunscreen step in your morning routine when the letters "SPF" are written on every other bottle you're picking up, don't give in. You would need to apply 14 times the amount [of powder] people normally use. The same goes for foundation—unless you want to slather on seven times as much as you would actually use to even your skin tone. Keep It Fresh  We all have that ...

Chuck Collins' book, Born on Third Base: A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality, Bringing Wealth Home, and Committing to the Common Good, explains why inequality in its many forms impacts everyone. Collins was born into wealth but gave up a substantial inheritance in order to pursue his own life. Even though he gave away his fortune, he still refers himself as one of the wealthy. In the United States, he mentions, the wealthiest 1 percent have 42 percent share of US wealth in 2012. Money makes money, therefore, t he rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer in the United States. To be honest, I never really thought about inequality of wealth in our nation and I was quite surprised by the percentage of wealth the top 1 percent of US households are having. I feel like most of us, low to middle income households are disenfranchised by the system and being ignored and forgotten. I think we really need to demand change to ...

How will AI Affect the Job Market? We are living in an era of advanced technology which is rapidly transforming our future. In fact, s tatistics say that 47% of all employment opportunities will be occupied by machines within the next two decades.  I’ve been thinking a lot about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and wondered how it will threaten our jobs. In 2013,  technologists  Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne published a research that tried to predict the kinds of jobs technology is likely to replace in the next few decades. According to the research,  Middle-skilled workers, such as tax accountants, telemarketers and freight agents, were deemed most likely to be replaced by robots in the next few decades, while skilled workers such as scientists, healthcare professionals, leaders, entrepreneurs, writers and artists were deemed the most secure.  The explanation behind this inference was simple, humans are the most productive at profe...

Food Delivery Platforms of the Future Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could get your food delivered to your door without seeing and tipping the delivery person?   You already probably know that it is the age of on-demand services as almost everything can be delivered. Not surprisingly, recent delivery trends have revealed that consumers increasingly value convenience when ordering food. We are now seeing many restaurants like McDonald's partner with third-party deliverers like UberEats. People are willing to pay a little extra to save time by having a delivery person bring their food to their door. The tradeoff here is a simple one: a delivery fee in exchange for the time it would have taken to drive back and forth to the restaurant. Millennials in particular are seeking for convenience as 74% of millennials have reported that they prefer delivery service. As a result, food and food service brands continue to actively work to simplify grocery shopping and food delivery proces...
