We had a warm day after a week of freezing cold and my youngest wanted a  Jamba   JMBA -1.08%  Juice, so I took him to get his Jamba and hit the phone store on the same trip. The young man taking care of us at the phone store was a dynamo. He got us what we needed and switched our family plan so that we’ll save money on our phone bill. I asked the young man about himself. “Oh no,” said my twelve-year-old, rolling his eyes. “This is my mom. Now she’s going to ask you about your career plans!” The young man didn’t mind talking about his plans. His name is Yaz. Yaz had already given me his phone-company  business  card when I walked into the store. When I asked him about his career plans, he pulled two more business cards out of his pocket and gave them to me. “This is my dj business,” he said about the first card. “I dj for weddings and other events.” “This other card is my entrepreneurial business,” he said. “I design websites now and do social media marketing for small busine

What’s the first thing you think of when you hear “Iceland?” Nordic? Cold climates? Glaciers? Those more familiar with the country might even add green or lush, but what about innovative, renewable or stable? Iceland has a uniquely stable power grid, an abundance of 100 percent renewable power and a booming start-up culture. Altogether, Iceland is the dream location for an energy developer eager to step outside of the box. Unlike many other places around the world, Iceland has more power than it could ever use or need — a defining characteristic for sure. The relatively young power grid was built for the aluminum industry. Aluminum smelters require a nearly 100 percent uptime in order to prevent a complete production shutdown, and as a result, the Iceland power grid is one of the most stable in the world. Add to that the renewable energy sources that power the entire grid, Iceland has a power profile not easily found elsewhere in the world. Founded over 50 years ago, Landsvirkj

Kirthiga  joined   Facebook  as its first employee in India. Earlier in February, Kirthiga said that she was stepping down from her post and returning to the social networking site’s headquarters in California “to explore new opportunities.” Understanding about Indian women in technology space Since I have been in India, if you look at the statistics, there has been an increase in the number of women in technology at the entry level. However, as you start looking at the top level, the metrics haven’t changed that much. We would love to get into an equal world where we have a 50-50 representation. If you look at entrepreneurs, only 10 percent of them are women. That is again a statistic that needs to be improved. We have a long way to go and definitely events like today play a big role and act as a vital catalyst to make that shift happen.
