4 Harmful Endocrine Disruptors to Avoid in Beauty Products

Beyond the Product: How Heat Protectants Work

Through the Looking Glass with Virtual Reality

Clear view through contact lense on nature

From Star Trek’s holodeck to the world of the Matrix, virtual reality (VR) has long captured the collective dreams of science fiction lovers, technologists, and futurists. The past several years have seen major advancements in VR technology, with high-end gaming headsets like the HTC Vibe and the Oculus Rift bringing what was once the stuff of imagination directly into the living room.

But gaming isn’t the only industry being reshaped by the VR revolution. In this post, we’ll take a look at three articles that can serve as a window into how VR is poised to change the world.

Big Data is moving beyond the infographic with VR

Big Data is, to state the obvious, very big. It’s too big, in fact, for bar graphs and pie charts to really do it justice. Infographics can only give you the highlights behind the story a data set is trying to tell. To get the big picture, we need an interface that goes beyond the bandwidth that’s available between the human eye and a computer screen.

“If you want to understand and handle big data properly, then interactivity is the key. And through interactions with VR, it is possible to analyze data dynamically, because you can actually reach out and touch data. And once there is interaction, it is possible to comprehend and manipulate all the data that’s coming in.”
— Cabot Technology Solutions

In our first article, IT consulting firm Cabot Technology Solutions covers “6 Ways Virtual Reality Will Transform Big Data Visualizations”. You can use it as a launchpad to explore how VR takes interactivity and total immersion to improve one’s ability to cross-reference, navigate, and analyze Big Data. Learn more by reading the full article

How total VR and gamification are transforming EdTech

Education technology (EdTech) is a rapidly growing industry that’s constantly evolving—and projected to reach $252 billion in global investment by 2020, according to the latest report from EdTechXGlobal.

Given the immersive benefits of virtual environments, experts predict that VR projects should have little trouble tapping into those investment dollars.

“There are two trends that have been particularly important in shaping the EdTech landscape recently: virtual environments and [VR], and gamification. These trends are manifest in apps that cover a whole spectrum of subjects from math to geography to foreign languages, and even practical skills such as direct cardiac massage or operating factory machines.”
— Iryna Pototska, Yalantis

In “Virtual Reality and Gamification: Two Biggest Trends in EdTech,” Iryna Pototska takes a deep dive into the many ways in which VR is changing the EdTech landscape. From virtual classrooms to tours around the solar system, to digital chemistry experiments and immersive games, VR is already making a huge impact. Learn more

Designing for a future in VR

Eager to be more than a mere participant in the VR revolution? Maybe you want to play a more direct role in shaping its future? In “A Beginner’s Guide to Designing Virtual Reality”, Blake Hudelson draws a roadmap to help you get started with your own VR apps:

“In VR you’re not just an observer, but you’re a participant in the story with an option to influence its outcome. Pretty cool, right? So before you even start thinking about designing for VR, it’s critical to experience it first hand and really understand how it works.’”
— Blake Hudelson, Senior Interaction Designer

Hudelson covers everything from the platforms that can help you get your feet wet (i.e. Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vibe) to the frameworks that can help you build for them (i.e. Mozilla A-Frame, Daydream VR, and Unity VR). Hudelson also introduces the design concepts you’ll need to “move beyond the rectangle” and design for a 360° space. Check out the full article

Educator Spotlight: Roberta Rae Dudzik

Stop Procrastinating in Five Easy Steps

alarm clock in the library

Do you ever find yourself putting off a task until it is almost too late? Perhaps you do this because you don’t really enjoy the task, or you think it might be too difficult. Maybe it’s because it seems too large to tackle, or the deadline seems like it’s really far away, so it isn’t urgent.

No matter the reason, procrastination can quickly become a roadblock to success. It is a common time thief that can cause stress, which then feeds on itself and almost ensures you will continue to avoid the task.

Have no fear! Procrastination can be beaten. These tips from the Upwork Facebook community can help.

Step 1: Define why you need to do the task

“Procrastination, in most cases, is not voluntary. Think about what you’ll lose if you miss out doing what you are supposed to do and list them out [on paper]. If the pain of losing out is more than the pleasure in postponement, your subconscious mind will never allow you to procrastinate. Always, keep the WHY behind doing it in focus. Purpose will drive us.”
Vidhya Nandhakumar

“Motivate yourself that you are doing this not just for you but for the people you affect: Your clients, so that they may have the kind of quality of work that you are only you can give; your family, that through your earnings, you may be able to provide them a better life; your colleagues, that you could be a model and inspiration to; and to yourself, to continue to grow every day and enhance your capabilities through acquired experience and learnings, to be better than you [were] yesterday.”
— Maria Regina Cruz

“If you think of your kids, you never procrastinate. It’s building their future, by working in the comforts of your home.”
Jorge Sam Llanes Valdez

Step 2: Create a plan that will help you to complete the task

“Having a list and visually seeing the tasks can help prompt some motivation to get it done. Also planning a little reward at the end helps!”
Sharon Chandler Moses

“Make a Must Do list! When things start to pile up it’s difficult to figure out where to start and it’s easy to put it all aside and start something else. A Must Do list helps you focus on what needs to be done.”
Laura Moser

“Focus on goals and start with the hardest tasks.”
Alejandro González López

Step 3: Create an environment for success

“By all means, I make sure to avoid social media when I start to open my laptop and browser. When it’s time to work, I make sure to open the files I need, email, and tracker. I also make sure to avoid things that distract me—such as tv and my phone. Work is work and it needs my attention to avoid mistakes and error.”
Elena C Dalla Corte

“Always work as a team. I have three other friends who are also freelance writers. To get the best out of each other, we rented a space where we go and WORK and encourage each other to achieve our set target for the day, which is usually 5-7,000 words a day.”
— Remy Martin Kaunda

Step 4: Be mindful of your actions

“As soon as you start procrastinating, stop whatever you are doing, get up, do a quick 5-10min walk around your house/block, get back and continue working with a fresh mind.”
— Марио Цинцароски

“The key to avoiding procrastination is FOCUS. We often give ourselves too many things to do and become overwhelmed. Start by choosing just ONE thing that you’ve been delaying and make a commitment to complete that task.”
Jeffrey Cabierte

Step 5: Just start

“[Use] the 5-second rule! Acknowledge what you have to do, then count down from 5 to 1, then LAUNCH! Once you’ve launched, continue your task for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes [you’ll be] in the routine and on track.”
Amanda Wojcik

“Grab a coffee and get started.”
Manish Kapoor

At the end of the day, if nothing seems to work, ask yourself: Is this something you absolutely need to do on your own? Thuso Mbedzi suggests to “delegate the activity.” If it is something you have been putting off because you don’t enjoy it, or you aren’t particularly good at it, find someone to help you with it. You can then use that time to complete something more enjoyable, or to be more productive on another task that you do enjoy.

What do you do to beat procrastination? Tell us in the comments!

Employee or Freelancer? Compliance Considerations You Should Know

Black and white photo: Someone straddling both sides of a line.

According to the latest “Freelancing in America: 2017” report, based on current growth rates, the majority of U.S. workers will freelance within the next 10 years. If your business doesn’t already have a process for working with independent contractors, you may want to brush up on what’s involved so you can get work done and stay on the right side of government rules.

Worker classification in the U.S. is governed by a number of laws, most of which were written decades ago, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), a statute written 80 years ago. But much has shifted in the years since: Time and technology have changed when, where, and how we work together. And legislation hasn’t kept up.

So, while working with freelancers can be a great way to access top talent and stay competitive, it also raises a key question: Are they an independent contractor, or are they actually a misclassified employee under the FLSA and other applicable laws?

The Latest Workforce Policies Regarding Freelancers—What You Should Know” explains why it can be tricky to get that classification correct: There’s no simple test to help you figure it out. In fact, between state and federal governments, there are more than 75 different classification tests in the U.S.

Compliance was the focus of one of the panels during Upwork’s recent Work Without Limits™ Executive Summit. Here are some tips from the experts who participated:

Classify workers as accurately as possible, and consider outside help.

There are clear differences between employees and independent contractors you can start with, but external compliance services can also help you navigate the nuances.

Do your research.

Since legislation can change from state to state, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with the rules in both your home state and that of your worker. And the panel suggests doing this ahead of time—so you can get everything set up correctly from the start.

Have a contract in place.

Remember that independent contractor engagements are regulated by the contract terms you’ve both agreed to. If you find a freelancer through Upwork, much of this is already looked after: Upwork’s User Agreement automatically covers your engagement, although you can agree to different contract terms if you want (but can’t change Upwork’s obligations or restrict Upwork’s rights under the Terms of Service).

Read the full recap to learn more about the panel discussion.

Upwork is a freelancing marketplace where businesses of all sizes can find talented independent professionals across multiple disciplines and categories. If you’re looking to get projects done while staying compliant, consider signing up! Visit Upwork Enterprise today.
