Cornford, who is responsible for beauty care, household and lifestyles research at Mintel, notes that awareness of gluten-related conditions, such as celiac disease, has had the general public looking for more products that offer "gluten-free" as an option.

Want your business to grow? Help your employees succeed
Entrepreneur
We've all heard the saying that "a team is only as strong as its weakest link," but the number of business leaders choosing to ignore this sentiment is staggering, as they are more concerned with their own development and less so with their employees. Not a smart move. Investing time in your employees and giving them the tools they need to develop is incredibly important for output quality, morale and retention.
Why there's no such thing as a bad attitude
By Harry J. Friedman
 "He's got a bad attitude." "She's not a team player." "He's not a very pleasant person to work with." Does this sound familiar? It probably does. Every manager has had an employee who just wasn't part of the team. You advise the employee that he/she has a bad attitude or needs to be better at teamwork.

7 ways to consistently drive word-of-mouth referrals
Business 2 Community
To say it plainly, the best way to drive word-of-mouth referrals is to demonstrate to your customers that you think they matter. When they feel important to you — as individuals rather than numbers — they'll be both impressed and loyal to you.
As more and more things become automated, it's important to distinguish what tasks can be done by a computer program and where it's still important to have that human touch, even if it isn't the easier choice. If you can do that, you'll set yourself apart from other companies around you and get people talking about your brand in a positive context. And you can't put a price on those real-life, person-to-person recommendations.

Classroom activities to promote deep learning
Faculty Focus
The explosion of educational technologies in the past decade or so has led everyone to wonder whether the landscape of higher education teaching and learning will be razed and reconstructed in some new formation. But whatever changes might occur to the learning environments we construct for our students, the fundamental principles according to which human beings learn complex new skills and information, will not likely undergo a massive transformation anytime soon. Fortunately, we seem to be in the midst of a flowering of new research and ideas from the learning sciences that can help ensure that whatever type of approach we take to the classroom — from traditional lecture to flipped classes — can help maximize student learning in our courses.
