Employees are increasingly using their mobile devices to complete work tasks remotely — whether their employer wants them to or not. Mobile devices allow employees to answer emails, schedule meetings, and complete other tasks on the go.

Though this practice is great for productivity, it could expose enterprise data and applications that are stored on employees' devices to hackers. We expect mobile workers — employees who use mobile devices in their work — to comprise 72% of the US workforce in 2021... Читать дальше...

On Tuesday afternoon, the United States will face off with Argentina in the semi-final round of the Centennial Copa America international soccer tournament. 

The US Men's National Team has the chance to make history: Argentina is strongly favored to win, but this tournament has been full of dramatic upsets and unexpected developments.

In fact, this year's tournament being played in the US is already historic, as the first Copa America to be played outside of South America. Читать дальше...

Venus is like Earth on fire. Although Venus is about as much as 10 times hotter, the planets are similar in size and gravity.

And billions of years ago, Venus might have had something else in common with Earth.

Scientists have reason to believe that this inferno of a planet was once home to bountiful Earth-like oceans. That's because the planet contains atmospheric deuterium, a form of hydrogen found in our own oceans.

But now the planet is bone-dry ... Читать дальше...

The day after Donald Trump fired his campaign manager, the first signs of a major shift in strategy started to emerge.

While Hillary Clinton was speaking in Ohio, the Trump campaign blasted out emails with responses to her barbs.

The presumptive Republican nominee for president deployed the rapid-response messages from several platforms. He — or his campaign — tweeted, posted a video on Instagram, and sent emails while Clinton was still onstage speaking.

Global bond yields continue their downward trend, a phenomenon that can be attributed, we believe, to two things: easy central bank policy and Brexit-induced risk aversion.

Central banks continue to hold rates low

The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) affirmed its dovish stance in its latest meeting this month, keeping U.S. rates on hold and downgrading expectations for the pace of rate normalization. Europe’s Central Bank (ECB) continues to buy bonds, pushing bond yields lower. Читать дальше...

Japan's military was on alert for a possible North Korean ballistic missile launch, a government source said on Tuesday, with media reporting its navy and anti-missile Patriot batteries had been told to shoot down any projectile heading for Japan.

North Korea appeared to have moved an intermediate-range missile to its east coast, but there were no signs of an imminent launch, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported, citing an unnamed government source.

LeBron James came through with what may go down as the greatest block in NBA history in the final two minutes of Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

With the game tied 89-89 with just under two minutes left, James chased down Andre Iguodala on a fast break, rose up, and swatted Iguodala's layup off the glass, preventing what seemed like two automatic points.

It proved to be a game-saving play, as the Golden State Warriors didn't score again in the rest of the game... Читать дальше...

Growing up in a series of about 20 trailer parks across the Midwest, David Novak never envisioned himself as the head of a billion-dollar company.

As the CEO of Yum Brands from 1999 to 2015, Novak turned a PepsiCo spinoff into a global leader in the fast-food industry through the brands KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut.

When he retired from his position as chairman of Yum in May, he left behind a legacy of 41,000 restaurants across 125 countries and a market capitalization of about $34 billion. Читать дальше...

Regardless of how much you make, it's easy to project an air of power and confidence commonly associated with the wealthy — as long as you focus on the right things. Sylvie di Giusto worked in human resources for more than 20 years before becoming an image consultant in 2009.

Last week, we broke down the best and worst leaders in "Game of Thrones." 

Now let's talk about who you'd actually want to work for if you were somehow magically transported into the show. 

The answer for me is obvious: Lady Lyanna Mormont of Bear Island. 

Here's why, out of all the characters in Westeros and Essos, Lady Mormont is an ideal boss. 

Warning: "Game of Thrones" spoilers ahead.

She's not 'nice'

If you want a raise, then change careers.

In a post out on Tuesday morning, the Atlanta Fed reveals that its wage-growth tracker indicates that the median wage increase for someone changing jobs hit 4.3% in May, the highest reading since December 2007.

Those in the same job have seen a median wage increase of 3%.

And the key point is how it defines "job switcher" and "job stayer."

Job stayers are with the same employer or industry as a year ago and with the same employer in each of the last three months. Читать дальше...
