Kanvas, AOL’s teen-oriented photo-editing app, is repositioning itself as a live-streaming app that can be edited in real time.
AOL is jumping into the live-streaming fray with the latest version of the Kanvas app, whose parent company it acquired in August. Previously marketed as a photo-editing service for teens and children, Kanvas just got a facelift that infused the app with live-streaming capabilities, positioning it against the likes of Periscope and Meerkat.
Fewer than one in five employees are on track to retire. Here’s why that’s a problem—and what employers can do about it.
When it comes to retirement, U.S. employees have a problem. According to the State of U.S. Employee Retirement Readiness 2015, a new report by El Segundo, California, financial literacy consulting firm Financial Finesse, fewer than one in five U.S. employees are confident they’re on track to retire. Of those that are not on track, more than three-quarters have never checked a retirement calculator about their needs, and only 47% have taken a risk tolerance assessment to determine how they should invest for retirement.
Keep your audience’s attention with these strategies that are more campfire and less PowerPoint.
There are few things more boring than sitting in a conference room listening to someone read bullet points off a slide. This is communication, perhaps, but a pale shade of what communication can be.
Shoot with style, edit with ease, and convert like crazy.
Photos are sooooo 2014. It’s time to get serious about video. While the rest of your hooplehead friends are busy shooting shaky, blurry, non-edited clips, you could be crafting true stories—all for the low, low price of nothing.
Menstruating girls skip school, leading to high dropout rates. But what if all they need is better supplies?
There’s a simple reason girls in sub-Saharan Africa—and many other parts of the developing world—miss school more often than boys. When they have their period, and they can’t afford (or find) a pad or tampon, they often stay home rather than risk making a mess.

A look at the jam-packed creative calendar of America’s most famous redhead—and what she prioritizes in the rare moments of downtime.
Having just wrapped up a packed morning taping talk show The Chew, Molly Ringwald attempts to answer a question about what she’s currently working on. “I’m promoting the film Jem, which was out on October 23, and also doing a television series in Toronto, a single-camera family sitcom called The Wonderful Wayneys where Jason Priestley plays my husband. And I just did a part in a movie with James Franco and Christian Slater called King Cobra. Then the singing, performing at [New York jazz mecca] Birdland with my band in March.” Ringwald has failed to mention that she’s writing a book (another one, that is) . . . her third. Or that she is a married mother of three.
Who curates those TED talks? Juliet Blake is fascinated by people, a passion that informs both her work and her portrait collection.
When I ask TED’s Juliet Blake how she came to have a wall full of portraits in her Brooklyn home, she responds wonderfully, with asides embedded in digressions: “I grew up in the north of England, and my sister was 17 years older (she’s an Academy Award-winning costume designer)—and I was convinced for the longest time she was my mother, which really screwed me up, but it turned out I just had very old parents and was a late mistake. But anyway, my sister was a really good painter, and I now have a lot of her work in my house, and so I sort of grew up in a quite artistic environment, and my earliest memories are of her painting, or of her work on the walls.” Following an early family trip to the National Portrait Gallery in London, a special love of portraiture was born.
