What is the Purpose of WorkPlane Automatically Changing?
"Selecting the object in the 2D mode changes the drawing's WorkPlane.
What is the purpose of that? Not the purpose of the warning; what is the purpose of the behavior ?
And, how can we get rid of the behavior? Do we want to get rid of the behavior?
The behavior doesn't make sense to me (when evidenced with the Grid turned on); especially with the Grid turned on and Snap To Grid activated. Plus: I can't figure out any rhyme or reason as to where the WorkPlane (as evidenced by the Grid moving) relocates to; the relocation Origin seems arbitrary to me.
That only occurs when the object you are selecting is not on the current Workplane.
1. The purpose is to let you know that if you continue... you will be switching Workplanes.
a. Always keeping the Selector in 2D mode.
b. Always drawing on the same Workplane.
c. Turn off the warning (has drawbacks IMO).
3. This is one of the few "warning" messages that I keep active.
Not sure if that answers all your questions or not... but hopefully a couple.
Hi Greg. Thanks for the Reply.
Missed it a little bit. The behavior I was referring to isn't "what was the purpose of the warning".
The behavior and what I was asking what was/is: "What is the purpose of the WorkPlane changing when we Select a 2D Object with the Selector in 2D Mode?" (you can imagine how much of an annoyance this is for someone- drawing in 2D only- that has the Grid turned on, and is drawing by Snapping To Grid while also doing some Selecting/Moving/Editing).
TC has to change Workplanes when you select an object on a Workplane that is different from the one you are working on. Picture it this way.... can you go to the second floor in your house and get something... while still remaining on the first floor? You left the current Workplane (first floor) to get something on another Workplane (second floor).
I guess someone else will have to answer this... let's give that a shot.

Yes, I see that if we are talking about the "Z"-Axis. But I can't seem to figure out the purpose of the WorkPlane changing if all entities are 2D, drawn at the "Z"-coordinate equalling "0". Basically, the WorkPlane doesn't change "up" or "down" when the behavior (as stated in the original Post) occurs; it is simply the Origin that changes- "Z" still equals "0".
Yes, I'd be interested if anyone else had an opinion on why "they" designed the WorkPlane (Origin) to change when Selecting a 2D Object- that was drawn when the Origin was in a different location, but still with the WorkPlane "Z"-coordinate equalling "0". I mean: What's the purpose of it? I ask that, because I would like to exploit and make self-beneficial whatever the purpose is.
No... two workplanes can be on Z=0.... up or down has nothing to do with it.
Basically for the reason you described, Greg (with your floor-levels of a house analogy in a previous Post), this behavior is functional, useful, and necessary.
The program-writers just didn't write in a way of the behavior not occurring when working with 2D only Objects created on a "Z" equals "0" WorkPlane. I just don't see any purpose it serves when working with 2D only Objects created on a "Z" equals "0" WorkPlane.
Okay, that answers the question for me; others following this Topic- who might be interested in the subject- may still have to grasp the rationale.
Yes, it's the word "Plane" in "WorkPlane" that's a bit confusing.
I mean: If I have a sheet of paper that I am drawing on, that sheet of paper has a plane- the surface (it actually has 6 planes, but I won't go into that). And that plane (surface) has an Origin at say... the center of the sheet. If I move that sheet of paper- and thereby the plane along with it- relative to the sheet, the Origin stays the same. But relative to the plane of the surface it was on (the actual table-top, for instance), the sheets Origin has changed, though its plane has not.
I get it. Still don't see the purpose of it when working in 2D only; but I get it.
Workplane 1 - 0,0,0 is in living room at the center of the fireplace.
Workplane 2 - 0,0,0 is in the kitchen at sink.
The geometry on each Workplane is referenced from the origin of that Workplane.
One more thing (I/you all hope) on this Topic, then I'll be done.
When drawing in 2D only- we are likely intending to draw only on the World WorkPlane- "WorkPlane By World". It's when we intentionally or unintentionally (there's a few ways that can happen, if we're not careful) create a new WorkPlane (even when that WorkPlane's "Z"-coordinate is still "0"), when this behavior (as stated in the original Post, this Topic) can occur/occurs.
Yep, I see it. Still don't see the purpose of it (the behavior as stated in my original Post- not the warning, the changing of WorkPlanes) when working in 2D only; but I get it.
I do intentionally, on occasion, have several Workplanes on the same z axis when working on a project.
Shoot... I always have more questions.
What if I'm working with a complex 2D drawing- all Objects drawn on the Z=0 "plane". What if, for whatever reason, a whole bunch of Objects all over the place were drawn on a different WorkPlane than the World WorkPlane (though their "Z"-World-coordinate being 0). How can I get all of them to be on the same WorkPlane- as if they were on drawn with WorkPlane By World- without moving them? So that when I go to Select them, my Grid doesn't move.
Can you give us an example of why that would be beneficial and useful Greg?
1. Select everything in the drawing.
3. Use the Place On Workplane tool.
As per my other post... everything is referenced from the origin of a particular Workplane. Just makes it easier to draw and measure in certain circumstances when a drawing gets overly complex.
I think some of the confusion comes by the use of the term workplanes when objects actually have different coordinate systems. When in 2D mode TurboCAD uses the objects CS. When in 3d Mode you are using the drawings current CS. Changes made to the object while in 3d mode effect the objects CS. While this is may not always be useful it is essential for TC to make these adjustments on all changes as we cannot assume users intent.
Hell... that's more confusing than my explanation.
... and exactly why we call them workplanes.
I get what you were trying to convey Rip (quoted at top above); makes sense. Still don't see why- when working in 2D only, which I oftentimes do- it's a handy "feature". Especially when working with the Grid turned on; then the "feature" is just buggy... with no benefit.
"Selecting the object in the 2D mode changes the drawing's User Coordinate System.
Do you want to continue?"➜➜➜ Per Rip, in a later Post, I am wrong here.
I think that clears it up. Or am I wrong.
Turn on safe UCS mode in the selector properties. This will prevent the CS from changing when you select or make changes to objects.
"Selecting the object in the 2D mode changes the drawing's WorkPlane User Coordinate System.
Selecting an object in 2d mode changes the drawings CS (workplane).
I watched the video. As all your instructional videos, it's a good video; thanks for producing and publishing it.
Having been a TurboCAD Pro user for many years, and pretty comfortable with 3D Modeling (not Rendering, however), most of what was in the video was remedial for me, personally.
One thing I did learn- and learned from your earlier Post- is that TurboCAD is designed to: "Selecting an object in 2d mode changes the drawings CS (workplane). Making changes (moving rotating, etc...) to an object while in 3d mode changes the objects coordinate system (entityCS)" I guess I've never become aware of that.
One thing that is still confusing, related to this Topic: It seems to me that sometimes you want to say that "WorkPlane" is the same as "Coordinate System"; and sometimes it seems like you are saying that "WorkPlane" is not the same as "Coordinate System".
Can you offer any more clarification on that?
Also on a semi-related subject: You state that "Selecting an.... object while in 3d mode changes the objects coordinate system (entityCS)". But it has been my experience (in version 11) that a 3D Objects "internal" or "inherent" Coordinate System doesn't change (as discussed here-> http://forums.turbocad.com/index.php/topic,11054.0.html; unless doing a 3D Boolean Add (as suggested in a Post in the linked Topic).
One thing that is still confusing, related to this Topic: It seems to me that sometimes you want to say that "WorkPlane" is the same as "Coordinate System"; and sometimes it seems like you are saying that "WorkPlane" is not the same as Can you offer any more clarification on that?
I believe only changes to positioning (move,rotate) effect the entity cs.

Hockey World Cup 2018: Netherlands put 7 past hapless Malaysia while Germany edges past Pakistan
The 14th edition of Hockey World Cup is back in India and is all set to take place in Bhubaneshwar, Odhisa. The hockey world cup started on 28th November and will last till 16th December and will take place at the Kalinga Stadium. A total of 16 countries are participating in this event.
DAY 3 of the Hockey World Cup saw the Netherlands take on Malaysia and Germany take on Pakistan. Both teams are placed on Group D.
In the opening game, the Netherlands absolutely trashed Malaysia 7-0 at the Kalinga Stadium, Bhubaneswar tonight.
Besides Hertzberger (11th, 29th, 60th minutes), Mirco Pruijser (21st), Mink van der Weerden (35th), Robbert Kemperman (42nd) and Thierry Brinkman (57th) were the other goal scorers for the Dutch side.
In the first quarter, Jeroen Hertzberger gave the Dutch side their first goal. It was also the 102nd goal of his international career which came in the 214th match.
Mirco Pruijser took the Dutch lead further by two goals as he scored a terrific goal in the 21st minute by robbing Malaysia of a possession and going through Malaysia's defence. There was absolutely nothing the Malaysian goalkeeper Kumar Subramaniam could have done to stop that.
In the 29th minute, Jeroen Hertzberger took the lead to 3-0 as he received a pass from Mirco Pruijser and smashed it into the nets. Mink van der Weerden scored via a penalty corner in the 35th minute followed by an easy field gold by Robert Kemperman in the 42nd minute.
In the final quarter, the Dutch scored in the final three minutes of the game. In the 57th minute, Brinkman scored for the Netherlands to take the lead to 6-0, whereas Jeroen Hertzberger put the final nail on the coffin by scoring in the 60th minute.
It was a very pathetic display by the Malaysian side. The team had a non-existent defence and the Dutch side made an easy work of Malaysia all night long. The Netherlands had 29 shots at the goal compared to three of Malaysia's.
In the final game of the night, Germany took on Pakistan in a very close contesting nail-biting game. Olympic Bronze Medalist Germany beat Pakistan 1-0 in their respective opening game.
There were doubts about Pakistan even attending the World Cup as the team lacked funds, but thankfully a last-minute sponsorship deal with electronics giant Haier made it possible for the Pakistani team.
The German team was attacking mode throughout the game but failed to score any goals, as the Pakistani side fought hard and kept their defences tight. Pakistan goalkeeper Imran Butt prevented Germany from scoring on numerous occasions. Both sides failed to score in the first half.
Luck struck Germany in the 36th minute as Marco Miltkau scored for the German side and they were able to get a 1-0 lead. Miltkau stretched and scooped the ball over the goalkeeper. Imran Butt was merely a spectator and he had no answer to that shot.
In the 54th minute, Miltkau scored again, but Pakistan asked for a video referral and it was not ruled as a goal.
The match thus ended with Pakistan giving Germany a tough fight, but they eventually failed to score at numerous occasions.

For so many of us, the Seder is a ritual to 'get through.' There is someone rushing through the words, another person checking the clock, another drooling over the smells from the kitchen. What if as the seder unfolds, we knew we could look forward to an opportunity for pause and reflection? Using the prompts below, transform your seder table into a circle of balance.
Note: These exercises can either make up a complete 'mindfulness seder', or you can choose one or more to incorporate into a seder you are leading or attending.
As you begin the seder, there is often a great deal of anticipation. Looking forward to that first sip of wine, taste of matza, warm soup…instead of counting how many pages to the next section, focus in on each step of this ritual. One method is to narrate (either out loud or in your mind) each step as objectively as possible: "I am holding the glass. I am opening the wine. I am pouring the wine. I am holding up the glass. [say blessing] I am sipping the wine. I am swallowing the wine." Notice what arises in this practice - is it calm and presence, or more agitation or anticipation? Bonus: try it for each of the 4 cups and see how it changes.
Water is life and our hands are purified by the waters. Instead of washing and then rushing to dry them off, hold your wet hands open on your lap or on the edge of the table. Sit in silence or quiet whispers as you watch and feel the water evaporating. Take bets on when they will be fully dry or have a contest who can go the longest without drying them on the closest napkin.
Reciting blessings over our food is a chance to slow down and connect to the source of our nourishment. Assemble platters of three or more vegetables for each guest, or invite each guest to assemble mini platters at their seat after passing around a tray of vegetables. Choosing one item at a time, hold it in the air with your focus on the vegetable. What's did it look like while in the ground? (You may wish to provide photos - I'm especially fond of photos of potato plants!) Close your eyes and imagine the trip from the ground to the store to your plate. Then say the blessing.
The breaking of the matza should be done in silence. As you prepare for the break, count three long breaths with eyes open and focus on the matza, held high for all to see. Listen closely to the sound of the matza breaking. At this moment, we hold the paradox of wholeness and brokenness; the matza is both the bread of our affliction and the bread of freedom. Take three more deep breaths. Optional: Share with someone next to you or the whole table - what paradoxes in your life are you sitting with today?
Dayeinu: What in our lives do we take for granted, but may actually be enough for us? Share with someone next to you or the entire table. After each person shares, respond: Dayeinu!
So much of the seder is talking and listening. Finally, here's a part that has almost no talking. After you say the hand washing blessing, choose a niggun (simple wordless melody) that you and your guests can carry until everyone has finished washing. Use eye contact and the raising of the matza for motzi to signal the end of the blessing.
The first bit of matza is always the driest. One is truly meant to savor that bite and not mix with any other dips or spreads. As you begin to munch on the first bit, notice what thoughts, feelings, and sensations arise. Joy, dryness, satiation...what else? Allow these to come and go without judgement until your serving of matza is consumed.
The embodied practice of purposely consuming maror has deep symbolism. Dipping ¾ ounces of maror into charoset, which is sweet, brings healing and alignment as we approach the formal meal.
Koreich is a memory sandwich. Since we no longer slaughter a lamb for the paschal sacrifice, there is only maror on our matzo sandwich. Though the pesach sacrifice is primarily represented with the zroa, shankbone, on the seder plate, our memory sandwich is the key moment of the seder to recall this sacrifice. Though we do not recite an additional blessing for this sandwich, as we chew, we recline and recall the communal rite of the shared roasted lamb.
The word "Pesach" is literally the name of this sacrifice, which was done in memory of the one performed in Egypt on the night of the 10th plague when they put animal blood on the doorposts The Torah commandment to consume the offering on the Passover holiday comes from Exodus 12:8: "They shall eat the flesh that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs." and then in verse 14: "This day shall be to you one of remembrance: you shall celebrate it as a festival…" (See Exodus 12:3-14 for the full section).
In Temple times, there were many key rituals regarding a sacrificed lamb or goat shared amongst family. In Exodus 12:3 we read "שֶׂ֥ה לַבָּֽיִת - a lamb per household." One could not observe this ritual one their own - usually, families would combine with neighbors to afford a high quality lamb to share on the holiday.
Many seder meals begin with a spherical object, such as an egg, gefilte fish, or matza ball. Take a moment to examine this round food item, with no beginning and no ending. You have made it to the midpoint of the seder; and yet, this round item reminds us there is no beginning and no end. We are fully redeemed and we are still waiting to be redeemed. Turn over the item again, then bring it to your mouth for the first bite.
Walking meditation: And opportunity to get out our seats and wander. Perform the search in silence. Take your steps slowly and carefully. Extra credit if you have time: as you walk, say to yourself "lifting, stepping, placing" for each movement of each foot.
Gratitude opportunity: Before or after saying the blessing after the meal, share one aspect of tonight's seder that you are grateful for in this moment.
Praise and song with nature: As we sing hallel and enjoy our 4th cup, imagine one sign of spring such as a tree bud or flower. Close your eyes and picture it celebrating the unfolding of warmth and light that comes with the new season.
Turn to someone next to you or share with the entire group farewell blessings for their journey home or a sweet night's rest.

Winning the ratings game
By Anthony Hilton for MailOnline
THERE was a time not so long ago when the idea of lending money to Lloyd's of London would have brought forth hoots of derision from the capital markets.
It is a sign of how far the insurance society has come in the past few years that its chief executive Nick Prettejohn could today announce plans with the help of Citigroup and RBS to float a 20-year bond to raise £500m of new capital to support the markets' operations.
Lloyd's is playing the ratings game. Although most of the players in the London market view the ratings agencies with scorn, and berate them for failing to understand the insurance business, the fact is that they wield huge power. A rating downgrade can cause a massive outflow of business, as the Swiss insurer Converium is currently finding to its cost.
Conversely, if the ratings agencies give an insurance business a higher rating than that of its peers, the money flows in. Lloyd's is already one of only a handful of insurers to get a ratings upgrade this year. Raising this capital now can only add to the good impression.
The customers should like it too. The new money, plus the £800m already in the Lloyd's central fund together with the proceeds of Lloyd's compulsory loan from syndicates, means there is now some £1.bn of capital backing policies which is over and above the reserves in the syndicates and the companies operating under the Lloyd's umbrella.
That is big enough buffer to cope with a catastrophe or three on top of the inevitable market downturn. But meanwhile in these buoyant times it all helps reinforce the quality and soundness of the Lloyd's brand.
The society has never raised capital in this way before - preferring in the past to impose a levy on its names when it sought to rebuild reserves. In a way it is a reward for cleaning up its act.
Losses from the recent hurricanes and Japanese typhoon will hit the market for £1.3bn - but it will still make a profit of £1bn this year. It has opened itself up to the outside world and can still make good money.
Pension ripostes
THE second best comment on Adair Turner's pensions document yesterday comes from Robert MacGregor of consultants Andrew Forbes:
'Mr Turner has come up with an interim report that would be appreciated by the great supercomputer Deep Thought from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It is long and complex yet comes out with no answers.
'By the time we know the outcome, no one will remember what the original question was that the Government asked Mr Turner.'
The best comment comes via Donald Duval of Aon but is a poem by AP Herbert, which reads as follows:
Save, save, they say, and put away What you would like to spend today. Don't drink, or smoke, or go abroad And all the parties will applaud. But when the money's in your banks, Expect no more the nation's thanks. Your earnings now have changed their name, They're capital, a cause for shame. While any yield they may bring Is dividend, a filthy thing.
But selling won't remove the stain. You make a beastly capital gain. You should be like the State, you fool, And make a capital loss the rule. Give some away to poorer men Oh no, you're dodging taxes then. In short, the patriots who save Remain in error till the grave.
So die as quickly as you can And pay death duties like a man.
Cazenove problem
LOOKING at the list of Cazenove shareholders the other day, and seeing all the big insurance companies such as Legal & General and Morley shoulder-to-shoulder on the list, neatly underlined the Cazenove dilemma. The friends of Caz are the big, long-only investment funds that traditionally have been the power in the London market.
But the difficulty for the broker now is that whenever there is a big takeover bid or even - as in the case of Philip Green's tilt at Marks & Spencer - the threat of a bid, then all those long-only funds rush for the exit. They sell their holdings to hedge funds, and it is these and American value investors who are increasingly calling the shots in Britain's bid battles.
The power has shifted to investors with whom Caz has little contact or influence. The long-only funds have become marginalised, and marginalised with them is the influence of Cazenove.

State contractors have removed structural debris generated by the Woolsey and Hill fires from 80 private properties in Los Angeles and Ventura counties whose owners are participating in the state's Consolidated Debris Removal Program, officials with Debris Removal Operations Center (DROC) in Calabasas reported on Monday.
Crews have removed burned metal, foundations, chimneys, ash and other debris eligible under the program from 68 parcels in Los Angeles County and from 12 in Ventura County. Debris removal operations on the cleared sites followed earlier site assessments, asbestos surveys and, where necessary, asbestos abatements of those properties.
Further action on the cleared properties is pending the results of analysis within the next two weeks by a state-certified laboratory of soil samples collected by state contractors at each property to determine whether the soil samples meet state health and environmental standards. Properties with soil samples that meet the state's health and environmental standards will be scheduled for erosion control measures. Properties with soil samples that fail will be scheduled for re-scraping and additional sampling.
In addition to removing debris from the 80 properties in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, state contractors have now completed 607 site assessments and 536 asbestos surveys in Los Angeles County, as well as 90 site assessments and 75 asbestos surveys in Ventura County.
Site assessments and asbestos surveys are critical steps in the state's debris removal program and on the road to rebuilding for property owners. State contractors must complete a site assessment before beginning debris removal operations on each property, and property owners cannot begin to rebuild until debris is removed, soil from the property is tested to ensure it meets California's environmental standards and erosion control measures have been implemented on their property.
During site assessments of properties whose owners have opted into the state program, contractors document and photograph property lines, the location of septic tanks, the footprints of foundations and ash, as well as objects that pose a hazard or hamper operations such as trees, pools and vehicles.
During the asbestos surveys, state contractors canvass each property for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and collect samples of materials suspected of containing ACMs for testing. Properties with ACMs are scheduled for abatement. Those with no ACMs present are scheduled for debris removal. Contractors also may tip standing chimneys for later removal.
So far, certified asbestos consultants have completed abatements on 33 properties in Los Angeles County and eight properties in Ventura County.
Under the state program, administered by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and CalRecycle, property owners who opt in incur no direct costs for the removal of eligible debris, including foundations, concrete, ash and metal.
Nearly 1,000 property owners in Los Angeles and Ventura counties have submitted Right-of-Entry (ROE) permit application forms to participate and allow state contractors to access their properties.
Property owners who have submitted ROEs can meet one-on-one with debris removal experts from their respective counties to discuss the status of their ROEs and issues related to their property at the Debris Removal Operations Center (DROC) located at 26610 Agoura Road in Calabasas.
The DROC is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the following Saturdays: March 2; March 16; March 30; April 13; and April 27. DROC hours on all other Saturdays are 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Call 1-805-819-8791 to schedule an appointment at the DROC.

DineEquity Inc. Announces First Co-Branded IHOP Restaurant And Applebee's Grill and Bar To Open At Detroit's Millender Center In 2017
Applebee's Franchisee TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants Adds IHOP to Portfolio with Innovative Concept Expected to Bring Over 100 Jobs to Local Economy
DineEquity, Inc. (NYSE: DIN) announced plans today for a new location in Detroit that will for the first time leverage both its category leading brands, IHOP® restaurants and Applebee's Grill and Bar® in one restaurant destination to be at Millender Center in Detroit.
This innovative concept, which brings together the leader in family dining—IHOP—and the leader in casual dining, Applebee's, will be owned and operated by Applebee's franchisee TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants (TSFR), a Livonia, Michigan-based, family-owned restaurant group with an expansive portfolio of casual dining, quick service and family dining restaurants throughout the state.
The location will incorporate the classic Applebee's menu that has made it America's favorite neighborhood grill and bar for over three and a half decades along with many of IHOP Restaurant's freshly made signature breakfast foods and beverages, including the brand's world-famous buttermilk pancakes, that have been served all day, every day for nearly 60 years.
"With its creation in 2007, DineEquity brought together two of America's most iconic brands, Applebee's and IHOP under one franchisor—and now, ten years later, we are equally excited to bring these two brands together for the first time under one roof," said Julia Stewart, chairman and CEO of DineEquity, Inc. "We are grateful to our franchisee Mark Schostak and everyone at TSFR for leading this new concept which represents a landmark in the history of DineEquity and both our brands."
"As we continue to lead the way in the restaurant industry, TSFR is proud to expand our portfolio by uniquely combining two nationally recognized and family-oriented brands into one hybrid restaurant in the City of Detroit," said Schostak. "This expansion is a testament to our commitment to the City of Detroit and Michigan, and it's aligned with our strategic growth plan. Applebee's is built on the concept of being a neighborhood grill and bar, which is the perfect complement to the welcoming, family-friendly environment IHOP has delivered for nearly 60 years. We look forward to bringing more jobs to our community and providing an elevated dining experience to all restaurant guests."
TSFR hopes to begin construction in April, 2017, pending municipal approvals, with the grand opening slated for late 2017. The approximately 11,939-square-foot, 300-seat restaurant is expected to employ more than 100 people and will be TSFR's second Applebee's in the City of Detroit and the first IHOP restaurant in the company's portfolio.
"Collaborating with TEAM Schostak Family Restaurants to bring both Applebee's and IHOP to the GMRENCEN's expansive dining portfolio demonstrates our commitment to providing a diverse selection of meal options to suit building visitors, office workers and Detroit residents' needs," said Claudia Killeen, manager of Renaissance Center development, General Motors Company. "This offers more selections for people as they can find breakfast, lunch and dinner at a single location when they visit, work or stay in Detroit'smost iconic building."
TSFR opened the City of Detroit's first Applebee's in 2015, making it the first national casual dining restaurant outside the city's central business district and the company's 66th Applebee's restaurant.

Healthcare professionals see technology as infection control tool
A study that demonstrates a correlation between technology adoption and hygiene compliance in the eyes of Healthcare workers has been released by Tork, an Essity brand. According to the results, healthcare professionals believe introducing new technology such as hand hygiene monitoring systems, can play an important role in hygiene compliance and infection control across healthcare facilities.
The survey revealed that 95% of healthcare staff consider it important for facilities to use the most up-to-date technology to mitigate infection, and 68% of workers acknowledged that introducing technology to their facilities has helped improve hygiene compliance. However, despite these sentiments, 40% of these respondents do not see their facility making a conscious effort to introduce new technology to address hygiene compliance and cleaning protocol.
Why? The most common barriers healthcare staff see to introducing new technology are a lack of financial resources (35%) and a lack of training & education (32%).
These barriers, however, may pale in comparison to the nuanced needs of today's healthcare facilities. According to the World Health Organization, hand hygiene remains the single most important strategy in mitigating the spread of health care-associated infections in healthcare facilities. Staff are increasingly looking to modern technology as a way to advance operational efficiencies and address hygiene compliance. With the majority of workers acknowledging the positive effects technology has when it comes to hygiene compliance, it appears that now is the time for healthcare professionals to treat technology with the utmost importance.
Connected devices like the Tork EasyCube Facility Management System for data-driven cleaning utilises Internet of Things (IoT) technology to provide real-time, actionable data from people counters and connected dispensers to keep facilities managers and cleaners informed about cleaning status and provide insights into usage and traffic trends. On average, Tork EasyCube reduces cleaning rounds by 24% and cleaning hours by 20%, and yields a 30% increase in customer satisfaction. Simple, innovative technology solutions like Tork EasyCube help managers clean more efficiently, enabling facilities to exercise greater control over their environment.
"Healthcare workers carry a great amount of responsibility, protecting the health of patients on a daily basis," says Tom Bergin, marketing director for Essity Professional Hygiene, North America. "Introducing new technology and modernising our facilities can play a critical role in supporting their efforts to maintain safe environments and ultimately, deliver an elevated patient experience."

Versailles Redesigned
Before the Coronavirus turned the world upside down Miranda and I took our younger two children to see Versailles.
I feel bad saying this, but when I walked up to the front of Versailles I was struck by how unimpressive it was despite all the money spent on it. I do not want to sound negative, but I do feel it was a wasted opportunity. The palace itself seems too small in the context of all the outbuildings that it almost disappears. I later learnt that I am not the first person to make this observation, Jean-Baptiste Colbert a minister of finances during Louis XIV's reign felt that his boss had turned Versailles into an 'a little man with big arms and a large head'.
The garden side is not much better. The palace façade monotonously repeats the same bay configuration with little variation for its whole quarter of a mile length. The silhouette is dull and the whole composition is lacking in drama or excitement.
It is remarkable that architects as great as Louis Le Vau and Jules Hardouin-Mansart should have produced such an underwhelming building. 'Come on lads, what went wrong?' I feel compelled to say.
I suspect the reason is twofold.
Firstly, Versailles is a series of massive additions to a relatively modest original chateau. The great architect Charles Perrault who was also a senior official in the Royal Building Office claimed that Louis kept the original building for sentimental reasons. Working in this ad hoc way requires great skill to ensure that the final building look right and even the king had his reservations. In letter of 1699, written by Louis XIV's second wife, Madame de Maintenon, she revealed that her husband privately admitted that Versailles would have been better had he demolished the old chateau entirely before starting.
And secondly, Louis XVI was a control freak. He was fascinated by architecture and had regular meetings on Thursdays with his architects, an impressive commitment for a busy king. A hands-on client is great, but they do need to respect and listen their architect if they want the best results. This would have been hard for Louis who from birth was bought up to believe that he was quite literally a gift from god or 'Dieudonné', a name he evidently took to heart. I image that the great ideas of Le Vau and Manart's were ignored and they ultimately just resorted to timidly pleasing their client rather that doing great architecture.
When I returned home and aided by the extra time which the coronavirus lockdown has generated, I set myself the task of redesigning Versailles. For the front elevation to get over the problem of the diminutive central block I added a building to separate the Cour Royale from the Cour des Statues. In the middle of this block is a triumphal arch which frames the original chateau in the distance. By adding this building, the small scale of the centre of the palace is masked and give both courts a more pleasing proportion. The separation would also give a more interesting and varied arrive sequence.
For the garden elevation I propose adding a large central block to break the monotony and to make a more interesting silhouette.
The astute observer will notice that these designs have a certain dept to Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor. It did make me speculate what would have happened had Louis XIV beaten the Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim. Perhaps he would have taken the first dukes' architects and asked them to remodel Versailles. My light-hearted scribblings are a guess at what they might have produced.
For this article I am indebted to Tony Spawforth's book *Versailles: A Biography of a Palace* and *Love and Louis XIV: The Women in the Life of the Sun King* by Antonia Fraser. Both excellent books which I can thoroughly recommend.

As a wise man once told his uncomprehending spider-nephew — more or less — that with great privilege comes great responsibility. Tourism is a great privilege, presuming as it does not only the money to pay for transportation, accommodation, and days if not weeks of restaurant food, but the leisure to take the time to do it all. The fact that more and more of us are able to do it is cause for celebration, but it doesn't lessen either the privilege, or the responsibility. You still need to behave yourself in the places you visit, remembering that the people around you are mostly working even if you're not. You need to learn a few basic words and phrases if you're going to a place where they speak a different language (even if they also speak yours). And you need to know the difference between looking and gawking. The former is one of the great pleasures of travel; the latter is not just rude, but does fundamental injury to the guest-host relationship.
One of the primary places where we tend to get this distinction wrong is at religious sites. Many who travel are either not religious, or are visiting places where people celebrate different religions. It's a legitimate subject of interest, of course, and visiting temples and cathedrals, as well as religious residences, shrines, and places of pilgrimage, are some of the most understandably popular things for tourists to do. But learning to look without gawking, see without ogling can be the difference between being accepted as a visitor, and being resented as an intruder.
It presents a fine line, going to a place so meaningful to some just to take a look-see, but if you keep these four rules in mind, and follow them to the extent you're able, you'll likely find yourself on the right side of the visitor-intruder divide.
This is both the toughest, and probably the least intuitive of the rules, and only applies – as all these rues do – to active places of devotion and worship (not churches that have been turned into condos or museums, for instance).
Since the advent of mass tourism, and even more specifically since the arrival of the smart phone, many places that once frowned upon or even forbade photography have simply given up. It's too difficult to enforce. So just because you don't see a sign with a red line through a camera or phone doesn't mean you should be taking pictures.
Yes, I know everyone else will be. And I realize that you, a modern, reasonable human, can see the secular beauty of the architecture, painting, sculpture, lighting, and even poignantly posed worshippers amid the holiness. But the thing is, the very reason all these things work so well together, and the reason you're there at all, is that the people who designed it, and the people who are praying, meditating, singing, and preaching in it, do not see these as separate things.
If you're not a professional photographer, taking a picture is the very definition of the distinction between looking and gawking. Seeing the place or worship or devotion through a lens, with you on one side of it, and it — and everyone else — on the other emphasizes the fact that you don't belong there, that you're an interloper being tolerated rather than a visitor being welcomed. Believe me, there are pictures of it all online. Look those up later. But while you're there, try to just look with your eyes.
Not all places of religious and spiritual significance are the same. Some, like your average Catholic cathedral, are dark and quiet places meant for silent prayer and sanctioned preaching. Others, like certain Buddhist temples, ring with gongs and chants. Some statues and paintings are meant to be touched, others are not. Some are meant to be places of evangelism and conversion, encouraging celebrants to talk to newcomers, others are spots where people have died for their beliefs, and demand heads bowed and mouths closed.
It's usually not difficult picking out the people who come often. They'll have their place, whether it's a pew, a chair, or a place on the floor. They'll walk with purpose rather than wander as a tourist will, and they may find other people they know there, either talking to them, or sitting, standing, or kneeling very close to them.
Do they have their shoes on? Do you? How about head coverings? What about the rest of their skin? Do they make some form of obeisance at certain spots? Maybe you should, too. Or at least acknowledge those same points. Are there places people like this go, and others they don't? Even if there are no signs, or no signs you understand, follow their lead and don't go into empty corners or through unmarked doors. Curiosity is admirable among tourists; trespassing is not.
These places are, almost without exception, places of contemplation. You may want to contemplate different things than the worshippers and devotees to, but try to be contemplative in your own way, out of the way. Notice textures, detect aromas, look up, way up, look around, notice what people are doing with their hands, their feet, their lips. How is the light coming in? What's it resting on? That's probably not accidental. These are important places culturally and historically because they're important places spiritually. These spots are often cynosures of their towns, cities, regions, nations, faiths, and you'll understand those places better if you understand these places better. Maybe even take out that phone you're not taking pictures with and do some reading while you're standing there.
These places were never meant for tourists, but the way of the world has made them into attractions. If you're in an old building, or at an old monument, look at how the years have worn the stone, wood, and metal down, and remember that you and the thousands and millions like you will do as much in a decade as all the other elements combined have done in the previous centuries. And then realize that fixing and cleaning cost money. Some places charge admission for this reason, but most don't. Look for a box — some are at entrances, some by the candles, others by altars at the front or in little rooms off to the side — and make drop some money in. What's an appropriate amount? How much was the last drink you bought? That'll do.

» Director-General in Davos: Partner for Prosperity, Inclusion and Resilience
© World Economic Forum
From 17 to 20 January 2017, UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova will advocate for strengthened global cooperation for inclusive development during the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting in Davos-Klosters on the theme of Responsive and Responsible Leadership.
"In the words of the Forum's Chairman and Founder Klaus Schwab, we are living today in a 'complex, uncertain and anxious world.' Challenges are steep across the board – from coming to grips with the 4th industrial revolution, to strengthening effective multilateralism, to ending poverty and building more open and cohesive societies," said Ms Bokova.
"This year's theme on Responsive and Responsible Leadership is a call for reinforced collaboration, dialogue and the joint search for solutions to challenges that are collective and interconnected by nature, but that hit the most vulnerable the hardest everywhere and are threatening the cohesion of our societies," said Ms Bokova on the eve of the Forum's opening.
The Forum's Annual Global Risks Report cites inequality, social polarization and intensifying environmental degradation as the top drivers of risks in the next 10 years.
"More than ever, we need to foster resilience, to get to the root causes of exclusion and crises, to invest in creators of shared wealth and confidence, underpinned by a sense of global citizenship. This begins with a massive expansion of opportunities to learn throughout life, together with harnessing technology for inclusion and recognizing culture and cultural heritage as foundation of identity and shared values."
Through events on education, the youth skills gap, the protection of cultural heritage in conflict, the Broadband Commission, girls' and women's empowerment and fighting discrimination in sport, the Director-General will advocate for partnerships that advance inclusion and mobilize leaders and societies around the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. She will highlight UNESCO's Global Education Monitoring Report publication on "Partnering for Prosperity: Education for green and inclusive growth," released for the Annual Meeting.
The Director-General's commitments include participation in the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development with ITU Secretary-General Mr Houlin Zhao and President Paul Kagame of Rwanda; a session on Shaping the Future of Education and Skills with Education Ministers from Argentina and the United Arab Emirates; a roundtable on Education and the SDGs hosted by the University of Geneva and Tsinghua University; an event hosted by the Varkey Foundation and Education International on the Implications for Education of the 4th Industrial Revolution; a discussion hosted by the Intel Foundation on the Youth Skills Gap; a session on Responding to the Cultural Heritage Crisis with the Smithsonian Institutions and the World Customs Organization; the stakes of protecting cultural heritage addressed for the first time in the context of the Forum's Humanitarian Hub; an event organized with the Federal Research and Methodological Center for Tolerance Psychology and Education (Tolerance Center) of the Russian Federation on promoting inclusion and anti-discrimination in sport. She will take part in discussions gathering global leaders on Responsible and Responsive Leadership in a Multipolar World; and on Restoring Stability in the Middle East and North Africa.
During the Annual Meeting, UNESCO, Proctor & Gamble and Save the Children will publicize a commitment to empower over 1000 young girls and women living in Jordan through education, life skills and work readiness training. The project is implemented through UNESCO's office in Amman.
In its 47th edition, in a mission to "Improve the State of the World", the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting gathers global leaders from across government, business, international organizations, academia and civil society to engage in collaborative activities to shape global, regional and industry agendas. In 2015,the Forum was recognized as the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation by the Federal Council of Switzerland.

Get the details on the romantic proposal.
A big congrats goes out to Millionaire Matchmaker star David Cruz. He and his boyfriend of nearly four years, Jonathan, are officially engaged!
David shared the news on his blog Finding Cupid, where he revealed the details of the proposal, which took place last weekend.
Their day included a drive down L.A.'s famed Pacific Coast Highway and a decadent meal at Geoffrey's in Malibu. The couple then headed to the Getty Villa, where Jonathan gifted David with a book that cleverly disguised a bracelet from Tiffany & Co., which just so happened to have the question "Marry Me?" inscribed on it.
"Once I realized what was happening, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!" he recalled. David, obviously, said "yes." So why a bracelet and not a ring? "It was at that point he said, 'I figured you wanted a specific ring, so I thought we could go get it together.' (Insert excitement about ring shopping)."
And cue a few "awwws" from the rest of us!
"After a very emotional kissing and hugging session, we watched the sunset and called all our friends and family. We then left the Villa and headed back to West Hollywood to celebrate with our friends!" he said of what happened after the romantic way Jon popped the question.
But don't expect a wedding anytime soon. "We haven't really planned out much just yet, but I am sure as we both make them, I will let you all know via this blog," he added. "So stay tuned.... my adventures in love has just reached an exciting new stage in my life. I can't wait to share it all with you."

Israeli actors form breakaway union
By Edna Fainaru 2000-03-21T11:35:00+00:00
A group of Israeli actors, which includes local stars such as Gila Almagor, Amos Lavi, Sami Houri and Shmil Ben Ari, has formed a breakaway actors'' union.
Called Screen Actors Union (SAU), the organisation competes with existing union EMI (the initials stand for "Artists Union" in Hebrew), which SAU''s founding members claim no longer serves their needs. The new organisation says it is poised to sign contracts with all major film and TV companies in Israel.
SAU''s first meeting took place last week during which a temporary board was elected consisting of actors Sharon Alexander, Avital Dikker, Danny Shteg, Harel Nof, Yoram Hatav and Moshe Ivgi.
