We can thank Hapeville, GA native Jeff Foxworthy for giving rednecks their due. Jeff did not invent the word; the label has been around for a long time—at least 150 years. It has been a pejorative term used to characterize poor, white, ignorant, rural, bigoted folks who were usually missing teeth and lived largely south of the Mason Dixie line. It has also been a term of pride.

I live in Connecticut and this season has to be the hottest on record. I have two sons — one home from college and another home from high school. They both worked over the summer at different jobs, but they are now enjoying the remnants of the summer at home. Even though they are older — they still want attention (or at least I think they do). They can watch TV, read a book, play Steam on their PC’s, swim, or stand outside and roast in our yard.

It’s no longer just about eyeballs. As the digital publishing world evolves and becomes more sophisticated, advertisers want to capture the minds of online audiences as well. And that means publishers making the transition from print products to digital-first strategies need to focus not just on the breadth of audience reach, but on audience engagement.

When I was in school I had a love-hate relationship with math. I loved doing math – working to find an answer to a problem. In fact, I was pretty good at it. I even served on the math team for a while. But I hated having to solve the problem with the teacher’s methods. On tests I would do poorly if the teacher made us show our work. I could get the right answers, but I wanted to use my own methods.

Andrew Nguyen/HBR STAFF. On a recent business trip to London, I surprised the conference organizers by turning down the opportunity to stay at the posh hotel hosting the conference in favor of a rather modest Airbnb flat. The hotel was clearly much more luxurious. The flat would require me to take the tube or an Uber to the event. Who in their right mind would make such a choice?

For more than 60 years, investors, analysts, business leaders, and even governments, have classified companies based on industries. First there were Standard Industry Classification codes, which were introduced in 1937, then the North American Industry Classification System, and now we have Standard and Poor’s Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS).

Even the best office relationships hit a rut, but if it’s your relationship with your boss that’s suffering, work can be especially challenging. Maybe you’ve lost their trust, or you haven’t been seeing eye to eye lately, or maybe you’ve never really gotten along. Whatever the reason, how can you build a connection that’s more than “just OK”?

The human brain is highly protective, leading us to sense and respond to danger automatically. This is quite useful when the threat is real, be it a hungry bear or a livid boss. But often we perceive more danger than there really is, and that can be debilitating. Think, for example, how easy it is to psych ourselves out (and read the response as “negative”) when we initiate an honest but difficult conversation with a peer or boss.

As Congress plays politics over emergency funds requested months ago , Zika is on the verge of spreading across the United States. When an epidemic is imminent, vaccines can’t be developed quickly enough because assuring their efficacy and safety requires trials that take months to years to complete. Candidate vaccines for Zika won’t begin large-scale trials until 2017 and, assuming they work safely, would not be available until 2018 or later.
