Mission

With our global future swirling in a maelstrom of uncertainty, the need for an international cooperative of thought is rapidly rising. the-future.com is the premier portal of breaking and developing news on the blazing edge of advancements in all arenas of human achievement, with the participation of leading educators, thinkers, prognosticators, researchers, innovators and inventors who will join us in our “future” goals.

Our mission is to foster an international consortium that will benefit from crossing cultural boundaries to share in the fruits of human invention, regardless of political ideology. It is our continuing hope that human evolution will not be stalled by the winds of backward-reaching motivations and will soldier on, always, with an eye toward better tomorrows.

We look forward to banding together as we keep a watchful eye on…

the shape of things to com.e ….

  • GenY workers want their cake and to eat it too March 10, 2010
    Managing the young generation of workers -- sometimes called GenY, GenMe, or Millennials -- is a hot topic, covered in the popular press and discussed in numerous books and seminars. However, most of these discussions are based on perceptions and anecdote rather than hard data, partially because no one had established that GenY differed in work values from p […]
  • Massage eases anxiety, but no better than simple relaxation does March 9, 2010
    A randomized trial shows three months after 10 massages, Group Health patients' anxiety symptoms were halved -- an improvement like that previously reported with psychotherapy, medications, or both.

  • Papaya extract thwarts growth of cancer cells in lab tests March 9, 2010
    Papaya extract seems to have a toxic effect on cancer cells in culture, suggesting a potential treatment. Scientists documented for the first time that papaya leaf extract boosts the production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines. This regulation of the immune system, in addition to papaya's direct anti-tumor effect on various cancers, […]
  • Sonic hedgehog gene found in an unexpected place during limb development March 9, 2010
    Sonic hedgehog is at work in mice limb buds in what is known as the ectoderm, the cell layer that gives rise to skin, researchers discovered. Finding Sonic hedgehog here is akin to discovering that yeast has crept from the batter to the frosting, where it has the surprising effect of limiting how much the cake rises. In this case, instead of causing appendag […]

    As the immigrant population grows, understanding its disability status and employment characteristics becomes increasingly important. People, both native and foreign-born, with disabilities make important contributions to our society, and many individuals continue to work despite a wide range of impairments. A new study by researchers at the Center for Injur […]
  • Hidden habits and movements of insect pests revealed by DNA barcoding March 9, 2010
    University of Minnesota researcher George Weiblen and colleagues have found a faster way to study the spread and diet of insect pests. Using a technique called DNA barcoding, which involves the identification of species from a short DNA sequence, Weiblen and an international team of researchers studied populations of numerous moth and butterfly species acros […]
  • Obesity linked to poor colon cancer prognosis March 9, 2010
    Obese patients with colon cancer are at greater risk for death or recurrent disease compared to those who are within a normal weight range, according to a report in Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. […]

Welcome IREO

Welcome IREO

Are we destined to forever ravage the Earth’s natural resources, mindless of the damage we do? Is the legacy of humankind one of greed and selfishness, in the name of corporate profit, as environmentalists say?
Or, are there movements afoot that, behind the scenes, seek solutions on a global scale, shattering political and corporate boundaries in [...]
