Digital storytelling with StoryRobe

It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments. Talk about a wake-up call.
the i-D guide to getting ahead in fashion
Brush up your CV, spellcheck your blog, head for the Capital, dress up, go out and be prepared to work your arse off. i-D's handy guide for securing the fashion career of your dreams tells it like it is. DO: USE YOUR YOUTHMake no mistake, fashion feeds off the energy, ideas, enthusiasm and generally wrinkle-free attractiveness of young people. Without regular infusions of new blood, the whole merry-go-round would gradually grind to a halt because many older protagonists quite possibly haven't had any good ideas since 97 and are terrified of looking out of touch.

Fun Reading Comprehension Activities for Kids
Learning to read is a breeze for some kids, but can be challenging for others. The whole process starts with children using descriptive language for story telling and progresses to the ability to comfortably read alone.

The secret to a higher salary is to ask for nothing at all - Quartz
Columbia, South Carolina South Carolina, as expected, voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary today (Feb. 27). It was a dispiriting end to Bernie Sanders’ mad-dash effort to get South Carolinians to “feel the Bern.” Connecting with the young, black voters he targeted would have made Bernie’s path to nomination at least plausible, but after a 50-point loss his chances are looking slim indeed. Today’s poll data suggest that more than four in five black South Carolinians, who made up a 62% of voters today, voted for Clinton—even more than the 78% that voted for Obama in 2008. Though we won’t know for a while, years even, maybe Sanders’ effort will turn out not to be for naught.

The Ideal Commute Is Not Actually No Commute
I can't say for sure that I have the world's shortest commute, but if it were any shorter, I'd probably be dead. My commute is three each way: That would be steps, not stops or even minutes. Three steps from the threshold of my bedroom to that of my home office.
A New Business Strategy: Treating Employees Well
While some companies squeeze staff to make more money, a growing number are testing the theory that they can have both profits and happy workers. Employees at King Arthur Flour's bakery in Vermont (Alana Semuels) NORWICH, Vt.–Call centers are not, typically, very happy places—especially around the holidays.
