Sea levels are rising several times faster today than at any other point in roughly the last 3,000 years, according to new research.

Scientists project that if humans don't get control over greenhouse gas emission levels, then sea levels could rise by as much as 3-4 feet by the year 2100.

Sea levels rise because of melting glaciers and ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica as a result of warming temperatures. The ocean also expands as it warms.

Rising sea levels make coastal areas, particularly those with dense populations, much more vulnerable to heavy flooding.

Artist and researcher Nickolay Lamm, from StorageFront.com, previously created sea-level rise maps to show what major US monuments would look like over the next century if we continue on a business-as-usual track. Lamm used data provide by Climate Central to build his sea level maps.

The hypothetical scenes show icons, like the Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument, and depict four levels of flooding at each landmark: 0 feet; 5 feet (possible in 100 to 300 years); 12 feet (possible by about 2300); and 25 feet (possible in the coming centuries):

Snapchat has no official group message feature — either your snaps are shared on your story for all your followers to see or in one-on-one conversations.

While there's no way to create an actual group message in Snapchat with multiple people, there is an easy way to send snaps to a particular group of friends at once. 

The key (🔑) is to use emojis.

If you have a group of people you often send the same snaps to, like work colleagues or friends from college, you can assign all of their Snapchat names the same emoji to quickly group them together.

Tap and hold on a Snapchat friend's story to see your profile.

Tap "Edit Name."

Then add the emoji of your choice.

Sheryl Sandberg: There is no straight path to where you are going.

"As Pattie Sellers of Fortune Magazine says, careers are not ladders but jungle gyms,"the Facebook COO wrote on Quora. "You don't have to have it all figured out."

Sandberg recommends having a long-term, abstract dream to work toward in addition to a more concrete 18-month plan. The long-term plan allows you to dream big while the short-term plan forces you to push yourself and think about how you want to get better over the next year and a half.

"Ask yourself how you can improve and what you're afraid to do," she said, adding "that's usually the thing you should try."

Warren Buffett: Exercise humility and restraint.

In a 2010 interview with Yahoo, the Berkshire Hathaway CEO said that the best advice he ever received was from Thomas Murphy, a Berkshire Hathaway board of directors member. He told Buffett:

Richard Branson: Never look back in regret — move on to the next thing.

Branson's mother taught him this.

"The amount of time people waste dwelling on failures, rather than putting that energy into another project, always amazes me," the billionaire Virgin Group founder and chairman told Good Entrepreneur."I have fun running ALL the Virgin businesses — so a setback is never a bad experience, just a learning curve."

The most luxurious car Volvo has ever created, the XC90 Excellence, is expected to launch in the US later this year. 

Volvo first unveiled the XC90 Excellence, which is based on the company's XC90 SUV, at the Shanghai Auto Show last year. But the company recently showed it off in more detail at the Geneva Motor Show.

Over 50 years ago, in 1965, Italian immigrant Domenico DeMarco opened Di Fara Pizza in the Midwood section of Brooklyn.

To this day, it's considered by critics and locals alike to be "the best of the best" (as former chef Anthony Bourdain reportedly put it back in 2007).

Just look at this:

There's a lot of pizza in New York City. It's a cliché maybe, but Di Fara Pizza is considered by many to be New York City's best pizza. It's notoriously expensive ($30 for a regular cheese pizza), and has a notoriously long wait (over an hour, easy). It's also dangerously delicious. And I should know — I ventured deep into Brooklyn on Sunday evening to try Di Fara's legendary pizza for myself. This is what it was like!

SEE ALSO: I've lived in New York City for 22 years, and here are my favorite places to eat for less than $20

The first thing you need to do is get to a part of Brooklyn that isn't well-serviced by New York's world famous subway system. My wife and I took the B68 bus!

One of the best parts of going to Di Fara's is visiting the Midwood section of Brooklyn.

Midwood is a predominantly Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, Eastern European in origin, though plenty of other religious groups and ethnicities live in the area. Famous names, from Adam "MCA" Yauch (of the Beastie Boys) to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, hail from the Midwood section of Brooklyn. The neighborhood has largely resisted the forces of gentrification sweeping Brooklyn's western coast (the side facing Manhattan).

But you're here for the pizza. I get it. Di Fara Pizza is located at the corner of Avenue J and East 15th Street. I went at night, but this is what it looks like during the day from the outside:

Zac Efron is more ripped than ever.

The 28-year-old actor has been training for months to prepare for his role in the upcoming "Baywatch" movie — filming now and out summer 2017 — and it's clearly paid off.

Efron has been posting photos on his Instagram to show off his progress and share some secrets. He also wrote about his strict diet on Twitter.

When you're in the hot seat interviewing for a job, you'll most likely be asked questions like, "What are your hobbies?" and "Where do you see yourself in five years?"

They may not seem all that difficult, but chances are, the hiring manager doesn't want to hear you rattle off your favorite extracurricular activities or go on about how you're CEO material. 

We spoke to experts to find out what hiring managers really want to know when they ask some of the most common interview questions. Here's what they said: 

SEE ALSO: 25 tough interview questions you'll hope you never have to answer

DON'T MISS: What to say when the interviewer asks, 'Why should we hire you?'

1. 'What's your biggest weakness?'

About this question:

Most hiring managers will at some point pop this dreaded question.

Asking this is similar to sifting through résumés looking for a reason not to hire a person, says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."

"Since the question has a negative slant, it's designed first to test your mettle, and second, your character. This is why it can be a deal maker or breaker, depending on whether you handle it with thought," she says.

Ryan Kahn, a career coach, founder of The Hired Group, and author of "Hired! The Guide for the Recent Grad," says this type of questioning accomplishes two things: "In addition to potentially revealing any professional weaknesses that may derail a candidate, it also provides insights into if that person is of a mindset of continual improvement."

What they really want to know:

 • That you're honest. Hiring managers ask this all the time, so they'll know if you're giving a fake, rehearsed response. So be honest, but don't provide a laundry list of flaws. And remember that hiring managers can play back your answers to any references you provide, so your integrity may be measured after the interview is over.

 •  That you're not a robot. Your interviewer will want to hear a prompt and thoughtful answer. Try to avoid using cliché answers to this question, like, "I'm too much of a perfectionist,"Kahn says.

 •  That you're self-aware. Your response should show the hiring manager that you objectively examine your own strengths and weaknesses.

 •  That you're working on the weakness.  HR representatives want to hire someone who is not only aware of his or her personal-development areas, but also taking steps to grow and improve.

 •  That you can handle tough questions. Your response should not be overly general, Taylor says. "Indicate that you have genuinely thought about your answer." And be sure to keep your composure, no matter how difficult this question is.

 •  That you're a positive person. "If you can incorporate a positive thing about yourself into the response, that's even better," Kahn says.

 •  That you will be a good employee despite your weakness. "Read the job description carefully in advance. You don't want to inadvertently play up a weakness that collides with requirements," Taylor explains. However, if your weaknesses would impair your ability to perform well in this role, know that it might not be the right job for you.

2. 'Where do you see yourself in 5 years?'

About this question:

According to David Wishon, chief recruiting officer at job-search site Happie, the purpose of asking this common interview question is to understand whether a candidate is looking for a career rather than just a job, whether their goals align with the organization's goals, and whether they have a realistic plan for their future.

Dale Kurow, a New York-based executive coach, says your response to this question can also tell the company if you have the requisite work ethic, attitude, and loyalty to be a good hire in the long term.

Productivity is a cherished state that professionals of all ages and experience levels desire. The more work you can accomplish, the more money you'll make, the greater reputation you'll earn, and the more satisfied and less stressed you'll be at the end of the day.

Since most of us work in the morning and afternoon, productivity is often seen as a day strategy. However, your nighttime habits and rituals can have a major impact on how productive you are the next day.

Try implementing these habits in your nightly life to guarantee yourself a productive morning:

SEE ALSO: Tony Robbins describes his intense morning routine

DON'T MISS: The 27 jobs that are most damaging to your health

1. Plan your day

Take a moment to plan your day in advance. What do you hope to accomplish when you first wake up? What about in the mid-morning? What about after lunch? There's no guarantee your plan will pan out the way you expect it to, but having a plan in place gives you a major productive advantage. It will help you stay focused, avoid distractions, and hold yourself accountable — best of all, you don't even need to take the time in the morning to do it.

2. Set goals and priorities

Beyond setting a plan, which will detail the time you spend on various projects throughout the day, set goals and priorities for yourself. Make a list of "must dos,""should dos," and "would be nice to dos" to distinguish these priorities. Each priority you accomplish will add to your momentum, and even if your day is less productive than you expect it to be, you'll still have an objective measure for your overall success.

3. Meditate

Meditation has a number of benefits, and it's not just for the spiritually minded. Meditation is about clearing your mind of clutter, helping you focus, and relieving you of stress. Just 20 minutes of meditation at night can help you unwind from the day and make your mind a kind of blank slate for the coming morning. Plus, it will help you get to sleep — which is a strategy of its own covered further down this list.

Out of 133 global cities ranked in the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) recent "Worldwide Cost of Living" report — which highlights the most expensive and cheapest cities to live in — 16 US cities were represented. Eleven of those cracked the top 50 most expensive cities in the world.

The bi-annual report compares over 400 individual prices across 160 products and services, including food, drink, clothing, household supplies, utility bills, private schools, and recreational costs. All cities are compared with a base city of New York, which has a cost of living index set at 100.

One factor the EIU chooses not to use when creating the cost of living index for each city is accommodation. Roxana Slavcheva, a Cities Economist at EIU, explained to Business Insider: "We supply prices of rented accommodation for reference, but consider that to be a separate and relatively subjective item to price since choice in apartments and houses is dictated by taste, income, and family size."

Here, we've highlighted the 11 US cities that broke into the top 50 and the cost of living index for each. For reference, the average cost of living index of all the cities surveyed is 71.5 — the most expensive city in the world, Singapore, has an index of 116 and the cheapest city, Lusaka, has an index of 41.

The report also notes that the strength of the US dollar caused a few major shifts in this year's rankings and propelled more US cities into the top 50 — to give you an idea of the changes, we included each city's world ranking in 2015, as well as their world ranking this year.

Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit releases two reports, entitled "Worldwide Cost of Living," which give an eye-opening ranking about how expensive or cheap it is to live in the world.

After analysing a wide-range of data — from food and fuel costs to salaries — the EIU put together a ranking of the most expensive and cheapest cities to live in the world.

The list includes 133 countries and naturally some of the world's key financial hubs like London and New York City ranked near the top the list.

However, on the flipside there were a host of cities from only a selection of regions that trailed right at the bottom of where in the world it is the cheapest to live.

10 (joint). Caracas, Venezuela — The EIU said that "in Venezuela the adoption of multiple exchange rates has made pricing Caracas nearly impossible." It added that "the economic difficulties in Venezuela are highlighted by the impact of these multiple exchange rates. If the cost of living was calculated using the official rate, Caracas would be more than four times more expensive than New York. Conversely, if black market rates applied then it would be almost ten times cheaper than New York."

10 (joint). Damascus, Syria —The war-torn city understandably ranks very low due to geopolitical instability. Large parts of the country have been left in ruins by nearly five years of civil war.

8. New Delhi, India —It may be the most expensive city to live in India but it actually ranks in the top 10 cheapest places to live in the world due to the cost of food and utilities relative to salaries.

A few miles from the heart of Mexico City lies La Isla de las Muñecas, the Island of Dolls, where thousands of dolls hang from the trees. 

The island, located in the Xochimilco canals outside of Mexico's capital, is truly the stuff of pure terror.

According to local legend, the island's caretaker Don Julian Santana moved to the island in the 1950s after abandoning his family. It was in the canals outside of the island that he found the dead body of a drowned girl and her doll. 

Convinced that her spirit haunted the island, Santana hung abandoned dolls he found throughout the canals as a way to appease the dead girl's soul. The dolls, strung up in the deteriorated condition that Santana found them in, continue to hold a silent vigil on trees and buildings throughout the island. 

Come along to La Isla de las Muñecas:

In the 1950s, Don Julian Santana abandoned his family in Mexico City.

He moved to La Isla De Las Muñecas in the Xochimilco canals — at that point a normal, though uninhabited, island a little over 11 miles from Mexico City's center.

After having moved to the island, Santana found the drowned body of a girl and her doll floating in the canals.

Everybody's got the wrong idea about Lamborghinis, and that's kind of the way Lamborghini likes it.

The cars are blazingly over the top, willfully inappropriate, and boldly nonconformist. They shout. They scream. They are not designed for people with modest self-esteem. They are the opposite of Volvos. Even for Ferrari owners, they're a bit much. But the new Huracán is going to definitively change that impression.

Named for a Spanish fighting bull, in the Lambo way, as well as a Mayan wind god and, of course, the Spanish word for "hurricane," the Huracán was introduced last year and replaces the Gallardo, the all-time best-seller for the carmaker, which was in production for a decade.

With a 5.2-liter V10 engine, midmounted, the Huracán continues the Gallardo's newish tradition of a "small" Lambo to accompany the big V12 Lambos that serve as the brand's flagship cars — at the moment, that would be the Aventador, but previous storied names included the Countach, Diablo, and Murciélago. Those cars are flat-out bonkers. You'd wave a red cape at them at your own considerable risk. The V10s are, well, more mannered, while certainly not tame.

And with the Huracán — despite its name — Lambo has put a little more distance between the big Lambos and the little Lambos. Some of this can be either attributed to or blamed on, depending on your attitude about what a Lambo should be, Lambo's position in the VW Group and its relationship with corporate stablemate Audi.

The Huracán and the R8 have a lot in common under the sheet metal and carbon fiber.

The R8, despite the "Iron Man" associations, is regarded as an "everyday" supercar, and a healthy dose of the mundane has been injected into the Huracán. That is, until you make a few adjustments to the driving settings. Then you have all the Lambo you could ever want, as we found out when the automaker let us borrow a Huracán last year for a few days of supercar motoring in rain and shine.

What we got, however, was a midengine beast elegantly tailored in soothing, dignified tones of gray. We photographed the Huracán from every imaginable angle, in rain and glorious autumnal shine ...

Remember Barack Obama? Nice guy, occasionally deft with words, surprisingly popular, and the current president of the United States.

The 25-car pileup that has been the 2016 presidential primary season has obscured that last fact, but he's still the leader of the free world for the next 10 months.

The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg has released to the world a nearly 20,000-word essay that consists primarily of Obama's thoughts on foreign policy and America's place in the world. For anyone interested in American foreign policy, it is well worth reading.

Clearly, many people read faster than I do, since hot take after hot take has already been filed. As someone who has written in the past about whether there's an Obama Doctrine, I have thoughts. Here are the five things that surprised me the most from Goldberg's essay:.

This article was written by Daniel W. Drezner from The Washington Post and was legally licensed through the NewsCred publisher network.

1. Obama does not respect America's foreign policy community.

 The essay is shot through with disdain from both the president himself and his White House staff about the opinions and judgments of the array of foreign policy think tanks and institutions in Washington. 

As Goldberg writes, "Obama generally believes that the Washington foreign-policy establishment, which he secretly disdains, makes a fetish of 'credibility'—particularly the sort of credibility purchased with force. The preservation of credibility, he says, led to Vietnam." Then there's this:

By 2013, Obama's resentments were well developed. He resented military leaders who believed they could fix any problem if the commander in chief would simply give them what they wanted, and he resented the foreign-policy think-tank complex. A widely held sentiment inside the White House is that many of the most prominent foreign-policy think tanks in Washington are doing the bidding of their Arab and pro-Israel funders. I've heard one administration official refer to Massachusetts Avenue, the home of many of these think tanks, as "Arab-occupied territory."

I mean, damn.

2. Obama respects Arab Middle East leaders even less.

The president does not think highly of Benjamin Netanyahu, but that's nothing compared to his opinion of Arab leaders.  

Simply put, Obama does not say a single laudatory thing about any leader in the Arab world in this essay.

He inherited a bunch of uneasy alliances with Sunni Arab states, but he doesn't like it. He talks about how Saudi Arabia and Iran need to share power in the region, which is kind of like waving a big red cape in front of Riyadh. It's clear that he resents any amount of time he has to devote to, in his opinion, ne'er-do-well partners in the region.

3. There's a little bit of Donald Trump in Barack Obama.

 Trump is campaigning on the idea that the United States is getting a raw deal from the rest of the world and says he'd get along with Vladimir Putin. Surprisingly, Obama says his one-on-ones with Putin have been perfectly fine. And it was particularly interesting to see Obama espouse like-minded sentiments about free-riders:

If Obama ever questioned whether America really is the world's one indispensable nation, he no longer does so. But he is the rare president who seems at times to resent indispensability, rather than embrace it. "Free riders aggravate me," he told me. Recently, Obama warned that Great Britain would no longer be able to claim a "special relationship" with the United States if it did not commit to spending at least 2 percent of its GDP on defense. "You have to pay your fair share," Obama told David Cameron, who subsequently met the 2 percent threshold.

That said, Obama's logic for wanting more burden-sharing is radically different from Trump's logic. Obama sees multilateralism as a useful constraint, "a way to check America's more unruly impulses," in Goldberg's words. That's a sentiment you will never hear from a current Republican.

Over a million people have watched YouTube's "The Food Surgeon" slice and dice an Oreo cookie to fit perfectly in the center of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. 

Sound weird? It is.

But it's also oddly satisfying to watch the anonymous YouTuber silently and meticulously operate using actual medical tools like a scalpel and tiny tweezers. With titles like "Organ Harvesting of a Sugar Snap Pea" and "Avocado In Vitro Fertilization," we can't stop watching these bizarre videos. 

And we're not the only ones addicted. Since the channel launched back in February, several of The Food Surgeon's videos have been the top trends on Facebook and racked up hundreds of thousands of views.

Without Nikola Tesla, many of the conveniences of modern life wouldn't be possible.

The Serbian-American engineer and physicist had over 300 patents worldwide, and his inventions helped pave the way for alternating current (AC), electric motors, radios, fluorescent lights, lasers, and remote control, among many other things.

But he was also highly eccentric — from his bizarre sleeping and eating habits to his love of pigeons.

Here's a glimpse into the fabulous life of one of history's most fascinating geniuses.

Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan in the Austo-Hungarian Empire (modern-day Croatia).

His father, Milutin Tesla, was a Serbian Orthodox Priest and his mother, Djuka Mandic, was an inventor of household appliances.

In college, Tesla was first interested in studying physics and mathematics, but he soon became interested in electricity.

He attended the Realschule, Karlstadt in 1873, the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria and the University of Prague. He took a job as an electrical engineer at a telephone company in Budapest in 1881.

He had the idea for the induction motor while walking in a park with a friend.

Later, while he was in Strasbourg, France in 1883, he built a prototype of the induction motor (an AC motor powered by electromagnetic induction) and tested it successfully. Since he couldn't get anyone in Europe interested in it, Tesla came to the United States to work for Thomas Edison in New York.

There are plenty of obvious —and not so obvious — signs your job is ruining your marriage.

If you're getting the sense that's the case, you'll want to do everything you can to turn things around before it's too late.

"By recognizing the early symptoms and being proactive, you can better learn to separate work from your personal life — and be successful in both," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job."

Michael Kerr, an international business speaker and author of "The Humor Advantage," agrees. "You want to recognize red flags early that your work is impacting your marriage so you aren't blindsided by your spouse before it's too late to make any changes."

Here's what to do when you realize your job might be ruining your marriage:

Be honest with yourself about what's happening.

The first step to dealing the a problem like this is acknowledging it.

If you think work is spilling into your personal life too often, it probably is. "You may be fortunate enough to have a partner who has a high tolerance to 'feeling your pain,' but that doesn't mean it's not affecting them personally," says Taylor.

Take greater responsibility and accountability.

"It will give you greater confidence if you begin doing some soul-searching and self reflection," she says. "Create alone time just for that purpose. Analyze the difficulties you're having at work. You may need to commit them to paper or record them onto your smartphone. When you read about or listen to the issues as an outsider, you can be more objective and definitive about solutions."

Compartmentalize.

Try to train yourself to draw a better line between work and home. Consider leaving a reminder note somewhere visible in your home, such as "Fun," or "Unplug," Taylor suggests.

Germany's "Miniatur Wunderland" is the world's largest model railway.

With over 50,000 feet of track connecting seven distinct areas, it's one of the most impressive models you'll ever see in your life.

To bring new perspective to the massive model railway, Google built a miniature version of its Street View cars and placed it in the Miniatur Wunderland, capturing footage of the model world and all its inhabitants thanks to tiny mounted cameras.

The results are simply stunning.

Google worked with mapping software company Unilabs to build a small Street View car with a tiny mounted camera to capture the sprawling model world.

Google also built other mini camera devices to cruise the streets and railways of Miniatur Wunderland.

The Google car starts off on a road surrounding a reconstruction of the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria.

Scattered around the US are the remnants of a space race from half a century ago.

Before it fell completely into disarray, Roland Miller decided to capture the ruins on camera.

In his book "Abandoned in Place" (available at the University of New Mexico Press and Amazon), Miller gives a glimpse of life in the areas left over from the missions that took us to the moon.

Here are some of the images featured in his book:

Miller's interest started in the early '90s when he was working at a college near Cape Canaveral. An environmental engineer who wanted Miller to help dispose some photography chemicals showed him Complex 19, which launched the Gemini missions, NASA second round of manned spaceflight projects. "It was immediately clear to me that I wanted to photograph it," Miller told Business Insider.

Although it wasn't easy getting permission to run around on deactivated bases on White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, Miller was persistent. "It was obvious that it was already pretty badly decayed and wouldn't be there forever," he said.

Miller prefers to take his photos right when the sun is coming up. That lighting was particularly stunning at Cape Canaveral, where, he said, "If the Atlantic Ocean is calm enough, it's almost like you have two suns."

Investing giant BlackRock is revolutionizing the way it trades, and it has a team of twenty-somethings helping lead the way.

The firm, which manages $4.6 trillion in assets, is turning to electronic trading to help solve the market constraints it faces.

It pairs young workers who are more adept at using technology with more experienced hands who know how to do things the old-fashioned way. Together, they look for new solutions to problems like shrinking market liquidity.

"We have a nice combination of experience and young talent driving some of the change," Supurna VedBrat, BlackRock's deputy head of trading and cohead of electronic trading and market structure, told Business Insider.

"Your 25-year-old may come up with a brilliant idea that somebody with 20 years' experience may not come up with just because they've been so attuned to the status quo."

We spoke to four young BlackRock traders about how they're helping drive change at the world's largest asset manager.

Matt DeCicco — 28, Vice President trading derivatives

DeCicco is responsible for all of BlackRock's interest-rate derivative trading execution out of New York, which includes all swaps, swaptions, and options on futures.

He graduated from Babson College in 2010 and joined BlackRock's analyst program after three previous summer internships in fixed income with the firm. 

"The biggest change to the market since the 2008 crisis has been regulatory-driven market structure changes for derivatives," DeCicco said.

Derivatives were traded entirely over the phone until post-financial crisis regulations required the market to go electronic a couple of years ago. BlackRock voluntarily began trading derivatives electronically to sort out the kinks before the mandate hit.

"Three months after the mandate, you would think that we had been trading like this forever," VedBrat said of DeCicco's team.

"Sitting in my role at BlackRock it was incredibly fulfilling and interesting to take ownership of how the firm was going to adapt to those changes," DeCicco said. "I think we were able to leverage our technology platform to build out processes that keep us ahead of the curve and make sure that we are accessing liquidity in the most efficient way possible."

Iseult Conlin — 29, Vice President trading corporate bonds

Conlin trades investment grade corporate bonds.

A New York University grad, she worked in research for a year with Bank of America before joining BlackRock in 2010.

"My market ... is a little bit more hand-holding and not as electronic today as some markets," Conlin told Business Insider.

Corporate bond trading has historically been very relationship-driven and dependent on picking up the phone and calling dealers for quotes. That's why it's one of the slowest asset classes to adapt to electronic trading.

"Even though the foundation or the existing infrastructure is going to stay in place where it's sort of this quote-driven dealer market place, there's ways that we can go into that ecosystem and come up with new trading protocols or new trading venues or facilitate different channels of liquidity," Conlin said. "And we are at the forefront at BlackRock in that sense because, one, we have the mindset and recognize the need, and, two, we're very much a technology firm."

One of the things her team is doing is a push toward "all-to-all" trading, which enables buy-side funds to trade directly with other buy-side funds. 

"If you think about it, you're creating another channel of liquidity," Conlin said.

Bryan Cameron — 36, Vice President trading equities

Cameron focuses on model-driven trading and risk arbitrage for Americas equities. He joined Barclays Global Investors, which BlackRock later acquired, in 2007 and has spent time in Sydney and Hong Kong. He's now based in San Francisco.

The equities, or stock, market was one of the earliest to begin trading electronically. It's less relationship-driven than the corporate bond market because there are fewer products to trade, making it more prone to automation.

Cameron pointed to a few equities e-trading milestones, like the first electronic communications network, or ECN, in 1969, and the first electronic exchange which opened on the Nasdaq in 1971.

But the real change, he said, was in 2001 when the stock and options markets implemented decimal pricing. As the Government Accountability Office explains, the markets began quoting prices in decimal increments rather than fractions of a dollar, while the minimum price increment was reduced to a penny on the stock market (and 5 or 10 cents on the options market). Cameron said that was the start of the "low-touch" era.

BlackRock capitalized on it. "Recognizing the market was evolving, we were an early adopter and we've continued to embrace those tools that are made available to us, as well as kind of guide the strategy for building new tools as the needs of our investors change," Cameron said.

"We are able to leverage our technology and the scale of our resources to provide consistent positive outcomes for our investors — by basically using algorithms to achieve that."
