Facebook groups help return tornado victims' scattered possessions
Photos, jewelry, and even a wedding veil have been returned to their rightful owners.
Tim Sampson— 2013-11-19 03:01 pm | Last updated 2015-12-11 12:55 pm
Houses can be rebuilt and cars can be repaired. But deadly tornados like the ones that touched down in Illinois earlier this week are capable of destroying and displacing objects of priceless personal value that cannot be replaced.
At least that was the case before social media.
In the aftermath of this week's storms, thousands of Illinois residents affected by the tornados have turned to Facebook to locate missing items that, in some cases, were blown miles away.
"It's a small way to make a difference if you can't get down there to help," said Becky Siegel-Harty, of Seneca, Ill. who started a Facebook page that tornado survivors can use to locate personal items lost in the Nov. 17 storms.
This Facebook page, which already has 750 members, has made four successful matches so far, though Siegel-Harty tells the Chicago Tribune she expects more people have privately arranged to return missing items. Most of the found items posted on the site are old photos, though group members have also located missing jewelry, wedding veils and other sentimental mementos.
Using social media to help return displaced items in the wake of a natural disaster is nothing new. Siegel-Harty said she drew inspiration from similar efforts following the devastating 2011 Joplin, Mo. tornado that killed 161 people and level whole swaths of that town. And hers is just one of several such Facebook groups to pop-up after these recent storms. Dan Davidson, a Dayton, Ohio, resident who grew up in Morris, Ill., started a similar group that already has 6,500 likes and more than 20 successful matches.
Finding a missing photo or piece of jewelry might seem trivial in the aftermath of a storm that killed 6 people, but for survivors, locating these items is an important first step in the process of piecing their lives back together.
"If there was a fire in my house, my pictures are the first thing I'd grab after getting my family out of the house," Brenda Strange told the Tribune.
Strange was able to return a treasured 40th wedding anniversary photo to Beth and Dennis Doolan following the storm. The powerful storm carried the photo some 40 miles from the Doolan's home in Washington, Ill., to Strange's front yard in Morris.
Though a 40-mile journey might seem like a lot, meteorologists say it's not unusual for a tornado. Strong vertical winds are known to suck debris high up into the atmosphere where strong jetstreams can sometimes carry items hundreds of miles. These distances are why social networks may be the best way of returning these items to their owners.
"Forty years is really something, and even though this is small, hopefully it will give them a little hope," Strange concluded.

So, I'm quite a regular traveler and I have traveled with many different airlines over the years. Some things are obvious, like receiving better customer service when traveling with more expensive airlines, and expecting less when flying with low-cost ones. No biggie. But there is still quite a remarkable differnece between airlines within the same category, which is quite surprising, when thinking about it.
I personally have two favourites when it comes to customer service, when all otherthings are put aside. My first pick is always SPirit Airlines, becuase the Spirit Airlines customer service is impeccable. When I find reasonable priced flights with Spirit, they are always my first choice. Also the Southwest Airlines customer service is really good. They answer promptly and always go out of their way to help even with the smallets matter. I really appreciate that in an airline.
I know other people find customer service not all that important, and prefer to always just book the cheapest flight, but having traveled a lot I have also been in several situations where I have been dependeing on customer service. All is well when you get it, but hell when you don't. So, yeah, it matters.
My next trip goes to Chicago and I'm flying with Spirit Airlines which makes me feel confident. I found a great deal and I also know that they will help put with any inconvenience that might occur. Looking forward to it!

Let's forget the fact that there's nary a tongue-in-cheek moment, nor is there an instance of true filmmaking ingenuity. Let's disregard the fact that all the characters make the same stupid decisions that dumb horror movie characters have been making since the inception of the horror movie genre (yes, let's leave that child in the car with a half-open window outside an evil house at night; sure, let's open that door after seeing a demon through the peephole). The Grudge 2020's worst offense is that it utterly fails to find its own voice, its own take on the material. It fails to build any semblance of momentum. As a result, each of its purported "scares" falls flat on its ass.
True horror lies in the shadows, in "what's beyond that door," as opposed to, "here's a spooky ghoul, boo!" The best, most terrifying moment in, say, M. Night Shyamalan's Signs comes when Mel Gibson's priest spots something in the reflection of a knife under a door. When the goofy alien is revealed at the end in all its glory, it feels like all the hard-earned tension's being swiftly vacuumed out. The Grudge is all vacuum for 93 minutes. Creepy children with dark hair covering their faces? Check. Ghouls and ghosts with no motivation and distorted, rotten mugs appearing when the plot requires them to? Check. Random shapes gliding past unsuspecting characters in the background? Check. Screeching noises to emphasize jump-scares? Check-fuckin'-mate. Nothing here is left to the imagination, Pesce running down the list of clichés and ensuring he includes every single one. Once the realization that this is yet another cheap-o retread settles in (about 10 minutes in), the rest becomes agonizingly painful to sit through.
"Random shapes gliding past unsuspecting characters in the background? Check."
You know you're not getting any subliminal, disturbing, Lynchian motifs here. It's as by-the-numbers as it gets. If I had to point out some highlights, I guess it'd be Lin Shaye's demented performance – but by now, the horror stalwart can do this shtick in her sleep. Riseborough has proven to be a formidable screen presence – as have Bichir, Cho, Gilpin, and Weaver – but they all struggle to emote anything real amidst all this fabricated murk. Most egregious may be the pregnancy subplot, for it touches upon something very real and painful – just to literally stab any nuance to death.
The 13-year-old girls watching this film next to me seemed amused. They weren't even born when the remake of the original came out, you see. That ominous, guttural croaking sound, you hear? It's the sound of me groaning. Call it a grudge against Raimi for subjecting his audiences to such crap.
Directed and Written by Nicolas Pesce
Starring Andrea Riseborough, Demian Bichir, Lin Shaye, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Jackie Weaver, Frankie Faison, William Sadler, etc.

Medical law and health care law in South Africa have become significantly more complex of late. There have been many recent legislative changes which have materially altered the law governing both the funding and delivery of health care as well as the general understanding of medical law in this country, and there are more such changes to come. For example, a complicating factor in the legislative arena is that, in terms of Schedule 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, each of the nine provinces has legislative competence in the area of health services.

The Game of Life – Augmented Reality
No kidding, we could all be participating in a game we call life. At least that's what SpaceEx founder Elon Musk recently told folks at the Code Conference. He thinks it's possible we are all characters in a virtual reality game created by beings of higher intelligence. The gringa would have appreciated that, if this is so, they could have opted me for a superpower rather than this pesky thing called epilepsy. That was just not nice at all.
Now, Musk is an intelligent guy. What in the world is he talking about? If he really believes in this possibility and he's not some wacked out fringe science believer, does he have anything of substance to back up this theory? As he began to explain himself in the interview, he took listeners back to the video game era of Pong. The reasoning follows this line of logic:
1st – Pong
40 Years Later – 3D simulations
What's Happening Now – Virtual Reality
What's Next – Augmented reality
He expects that augmented reality will be the era of technology where reality and the game will be indistinguishable. He believes it's possible that other life, far more advanced than humans, has already reached this stage and Earthlings are part of their augmented reality games. So what the heck is augmented reality?
Definition: augmented reality – technology that super-imposes computer generated images over the player's real-world view. What the person sees is a composite image of reality and computer generated images.
So, basically, if I wanted to live in an augmented reality, rather than go to the trouble and expense of painting my walls I would pop in my augmented reality contacts at the beginning of every day. They would be programmed with an image of my quaint little apartment featuring walls of my favorite color preferences. I could also eliminate having to look at dust and the icky grime build up in my bathtub. Mona Lisa could grace the place of honor in my living room rather than an inexpensive original by an obscure starving artist. I could live a life of comfort and laziness and never be bothered with the filth accumulating around me as I no longer have any motivation to clean, since my augmented reality apartment is always spic and span and downright lovely.
But how does such a possibility translate into one that puts forth that all of us humans are already part of an extra-terrestrial or advanced earlier human augmented reality game? Does that put us on the same level with our pets? Are we the pets of extra-terrestrials or earlier humans? Am I cleaning house for treats? Am I an augmented reality star?
Is there something positive to the possibility of being little more than an observed lab rat in an ET/advanced human video game? Well, there's that whole apocalypse thing. If we're not really "real" then the apocalypse is not really "real". It's just all part of the program. The Earth is not going to self-destruct because of human accelerated climate change. Or will it?
What if the ETs/advanced humans are simply seeing if we solve the problem? What if they WANT us to solve the problem and we don't? What if they get disgusted and hit the reset button and start over? Will I be doomed to repeat this very day all over again once the game advances to the point that my character is, once again, sitting at the same desk pecking away at the same laptop keys composing the same story? Would I know I had been reset or would I just resume in the blink of an eye as if nothing had happened feeling it was my first time to write the story rather than, perhaps, the kazillionth attempt? What if they delete my character altogether because I never reached my full potential the first time around? Holy Cow! What if they re-invented me with supermodel measurements, flawless skin, a genius mind and bottomless pocketbook?!
But what if there are no super-advanced civilizations managing us like puppeteers? How about we continue to progress through science and technology and eventually have supercomputers that can generate augmented reality en masse for the public, as easily available as the Internet is today? What if augmented reality becomes a way of life? What if we are reduced to live our lives lying about on loungers, hooked up to nutritional supplement dispensaries and simply exist in our mind's created reality? What if we are doing that already? Or perhaps we go about our everyday affairs but we ladies can all have Prince Charming for husbands. Our cranky boss can be converted to look like a hobbit. Instead of passing strangers on the streets, people are all programmed to look like Easter bunnies and unicorns.
Could artificial intelligence evolve through augmented reality to the point that a character could actually be considered to have consciousness and exercise free will? If so, is it possible that you and I originated as artificial intelligence and have advanced to that stage as characters in an advanced ET/advanced human augmented reality game that the simulated civilization is developing the same technology that led to our original existence? It seems greater minds than the gringa have been musing over just such questions and more for quite some time. The idea of humans living a virtual reality existence did not originate with Musk. He simply did a spin with a theory originally proposed by philosopher Nick Bostrom.
Bostrom's theory proposes:
If we are living an augmented reality as pets or game characters of a more intelligent species, humanity will eventually become extinct as part of the game parameters which means…
The advanced civilization (or civilizations) within the game must eventually evolve to contain no individuals wealthy enough to have a strong interest in having ancestors and the freedom to pursue that interest.
Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, has published a controversial article in Philosophical Quarterly positing the possibility that we are all characters in a computer simulation. He bases this on the theory that at some point in the future humans will have super-computers capable of running simulations of the civilizations that came before them and let them continue unhindered to see how far they develop. If that is true, consider the possibility that it has already happened and you and I, dear reader, are existing within one of those simulations. How would we know?
We would know once we evolved to the point that we developed technology to create simulated civilizations. That is why the ones in control of the simulation we are cast in have to design the program with an apocalyptical human extinction parameter when the characters get too close to achieving that level of technology. Then it all starts over. The gringa hopes her next character is epilepsy free and has prettier feet.
P.S. Augmented Reality… there's an app for that!

Moon Music – It's Classified!
When astronauts are orbiting the Earth within the International Space Station they can entertain themselves with all sorts of digital media. We see their tweets of fantastic sunrises and sunsets. We watch, mesmerized, at their videos taken as they float about in zero gravity, uploaded to YouTube via their personal smartphones and other devices. We listen to their narratives and interviews in real time, streaming live through any number of digital media sources. Certainly, space exploration and space living has come a long way since the 1960s.
When astronauts launched on a moon trip in 1969, they had no such devices. Their only link was their communication radio that transmitted direct to mission control. There was no live transmission for the world to follow along with. The rest of us Earthlings had to wait for on-the-ground command to filter what we were allowed to hear and deny us what the powers that be considered classified. Recently, many classified documents, videos and audio recordings have been "de-classified" and NASA fans have been absorbed with sifting through these records searching for a fantastic story.
The gringa's favorite so far has been the Moon music audio reported by the Apollo 10 mission in 1969. The Science Channel ran a feature on this in a special entitled "NASA's Unexplained Files". As the astronauts orbited around the "dark side of the moon" they claim to have heard what they specifically called "outer space-type" music. So what were these cryptic, mysterious sounds heard through the spacecraft's radio? Was that the purpose for the follow up Apollo 11 mission that got boots on the ground on the Moon? Were they searching for a lunar brass and strings ensemble?
Crewmen Eugene Cernan, Thomas Stafford and John Young listened for almost an hour to this eerie space symphony and transcripts record their reactions:
"The music even sounds outer-spacey, doesn't it?"
"You hear that? That whistling sound? Woooo?"
"Sounds like… you know, outer-space type music."
Then, after almost an hour, the sound suddenly stopped. Upon returning home, NASA chose to archive the transcripts and report of the "Moon music" as "classified".
Now, the gringa wants to know exactly how and why a document or video or audiotape is determined to be "classified". President Barack Obama made changes to the United States government classification system with Executive Order 13526. Every new administration creates a new Executive Order regarding classified documents because these documents are not governed by a constitutional government that governs and legislates on behalf of the people. Classified documents are governed by the Executive Branch. So, when a new President is seated, a new Executive Order governing classified documents must be administered.
To classify a document, video or audio recording, first, levels of sensitivity have to be considered. Sensitivity is rated according to how much damage to national security would occur if the information were made public. "Classified" has three levels: Confidential, Secret and Top Secret. Confidential is the least sensitive, Secret a step up, and Top Secret the highest level of secrecy (well, almost). To publish classified documents is a criminal act, espionage.
There are also sub-levels of sensitive information that are not classified: Sensitive But Unclassified, Sensitive Security Information, Critical Program Information, For Official Use Only, Public Safety Sensitive and Law Enforcement Sensitive. These documents are still restricted and not available to the general public for reasons such as privacy regulations, court orders, ongoing investigations, and national security.
Nuclear and atomic energy information has its own form of classification. Documents related to these industries are "Restricted Data" and "Formerly Restricted Data". Whereas most classified information is automatically de-classified at its twenty-five year anniversary, not so with nuclear and atomic energy. These documents are under the complete authority of the Department of Energy to de-classify whenever they darn well feel like, if at all.
Even if a person has the highest level of security clearance, Top Secret, that does not mean they have access to every Top Secret document. Some Top Secret documents are further secured with a required code word. These are known as "Sensitive Compartmented Information". A person must have Top Secret clearance and authorization to know the code word in order to access the document. An example of a Top Secret document with code word requirement is the report on the incident of the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy research ship that was attacked in 1967 by an Israeli Air Force jet and Israeli Navy torpedo boats.
To classify a document, video or audio recording, the information must fit into one of the following categories:
Military plans, weapon systems, or operations;
Foreign government information, relations, or activities with U.S involvement;
Intelligence activities, methods, sources, confidential sources & cryptology;
Scientific, technological or economic information of national security and defense;
Nuclear materials and facilities;
Infrastructure vulnerabilities, capabilities, installations, projects, plans or security;
Development, production and use of weapons of mass destruction (say what? Are they also classifying documents that might reveal U.S. development, production and use of WMDs? I mean, we had a President that started a bogus war over that stuff [because it ended up that they didn't exist in the "enemy's camp" after all]. So, the gringa's just sayin' if classified documents of WMD programs are not just a stack of papers about "terrorist" organizations and "rogue" nations, but includes docs about our own WMD program, um, I kind of have a problem with that).
So, the gringa wonders which of these criteria did the Moon music fall under? I suppose, because NASA is responsible for satellites related to the national defense, any space exploration document could be loosely classified for that reason. Or, perhaps they thought the Moon music was the communique of a "foreign government" so that criteria was applied. Perhaps it had to do with intelligence gathering activities and they thought the Moon music was an encrypted secret space alien code.
The gringa thinks Apollo 15 Pilot Al Worden perhaps explained it best. He said, "NASA would withhold information from the public if they thought it was in the public's best interests." The gringa believes NASA thought that the general public would go bananas thinking there were little green harpists, pianists, percussionists and trumpet blowers living on the Moon.
They must have felt it best to classify the documents so as not to reduce the world to mayhem as panic ensued at the thought of invasion by, not just intelligent extraterrestrials, but MUSICAL ones as well! HOLY COW! The HORROR of it all. And with the social upheaval of Elvis, the Beatles and many others subversively altering the youth of Earth into beatniks and hippies, it's no wonder that the government thought it in the best interest of security to prevent a space alien music rage to invade and take the world by storm.
NASA's official position is that, perhaps, it was atmospheric interference picked up by the space capsule's radio. However, the Moon has no magnetic field to create any type of interfering frequency. Despite NASA's "theory", Worden chose to believe that the Moon music remained an unsolved mystery. He stated matter-of-factly that astronauts were well educated on what was "normal" space noise to be expected. The gringa is also certain astronauts know what music is when they hear it, no matter what its biological or terrestrial origins. In an interview Worden said, "Logic tells me that if there was something recorded on there, then there was something there." Whoa, ho, ho! Methinks I hear the distinct possibility of an ET radio broadcast version of Casey Kasem's Top 40 blasting from a lunar DJ being alluded to in that comment. How 'bout you, dear reader?
When the gringa listened for herself, I made note of the more interesting points of the eight minute audio recording amidst the chatter and background noises:
2:52 – "That music even sounds outer-spacey doesn't it? Ya hear that? That whistling sound… Wooo!"… "It sounds like ya know, like, outer space type music."
3:10 – Cernan asks Stafford (Tom) if his window insulation is all burned off. Stafford affirms that it is. Cernan informs Stafford that his window's insulation is also burned off and that the sound is "eerie".
4:45 – A fluctuation in the sound.
5:25 –.A sound like rapid shutter clicks of a camera (they were photographing the Moon).
5:34 – A momentary lapse in recording.
6:00 – Sound fluctuations.
7:45 – The crewmen comment back and forth: "Well, that sure is weird music… Nobody will believe us… It's a whistling, like an outerspace type thing."
8:00 – The tape ends
Now, the gringa has listened and all I hear is what sounds like a high-pitched siren, not music. However, the astronauts specifically used the word "music" three times. The word "eerie" was used to describe what they were hearing. A high-pitched siren sound is annoying, not eerie. A high-pitched siren sound does not sound like "music". Three times the astronauts described the "music" as sounding "outer-spacey". A high-pitched siren like sound does not sound "outer-spacey". It sounds very terrestrial and pesky.
At first the gringa considered it was possibly caused by the acoustics within the capsule changing as a result of the insulation being burned off the windows. However, that theory is dashed when I remember that after almost an hour of being entertained, the space concert abruptly ended. If the burned off insulation had been the culprit, the sound would probably have lingered throughout the flight, at least throughout the orbit cycle. And if the lack of insulation resulted in such a noise, wouldn't that indicate the possibility of a breach of the hull? A minute crack creating a windy whistle? There was no loss of cabin pressure and hull integrity was remained throughout the brutal re-entry burn. So, I don't think it had anything to do with the burning off of the window insulation.
Also consider that NASA has only made available this eight minute clip yet it is reported that the astronauts listed to the "music" for almost an hour. The gringa would like to hear the remaining fifty-two minutes, please (eyeball roll, fingertips tapping the desktop).
From what I heard, there was not much to cause a big panic or scare among the population of Earth. I can't see much there to justify all the trouble and drama of classifying the recording. So, the gringa suspects there is more to the story than what has been de-classified and released.
The gringa believes that there was definitely some sort of interference or feedback affecting the recording and that is the siren like noise heard. That siren like noise, however, is not what the gringa believes they are discussing. Just as it was very difficult to hear Astronaut John Young because he was distanced from Cernan's microphone, I believe the interference was near the microphone and drowning out the "eerie, outer-space music" that was in the background, like Young's voice. The astronauts were actually hearing that background noise, because they all heard it distinctly and discussed it.
If ufologists are fiercely dedicated to their pursuit of information about extraterrestrial life, the gringa recommends that they clean up the audio. Because I want to hear what the astronauts were actually hearing. And I think that darn siren noise is the "interference" NASA is talking about and most definitely NOT the music the astronauts are talking about. To hear it for yourself, click on the link below:

The power of work placements
Jess Sewter, Head of Partnerships and Placements at Leeds Trinity University
We truly believe in the power of placements here at Leeds Trinity University. We think that all students should have the opportunity to work in industry while they're studying.
Why? Well, an important part of LTU's strategy is to create fully rounded individuals with a social conscience who contribute positively to any community they are a part of – and we feel our placement programme does this.
Placements are obviously a great way to get experience before joining the job market – but they also boost confidence and help students to firm up their ideas of what career might be right for them. It's a real opportunity for them to understand more about themselves and their place in the world.
We arrange around 1,500 placements a year in all sorts of different sectors – everything from traditional businesses placements to journalism, humanities, psychology and English.
And because many of them have a strong social impact it means that each year we're making a significant contribution to the community we're a part of. Students tackle projects on everything from homelessness and crime reduction to health and wellbeing.
At LTU every student goes on two placements, giving them the chance to experience different work environments and reflect on what's right for them. Many other universities face not having enough students taking up placements – we make them compulsory as we believe that it's the students who don't apply for placements who are the ones who actually most need the experience.
Here at LTU we've put a lot of hard work into tailoring our placements programme so that it supports all kinds of students – from those who are confident and ready to go, through to those who have never worked before and are lacking in confidence.
We embed the placements into the degree programme for those who don't want to delay graduation and incur extra costs. We keep them short at six weeks for those who 'haven't got time for a placement' and we help those students who don't know what they want to do to explore the possibilities. We use local employers and alumni as inspiring case studies for those students who feel a placement isn't relevant to their degree.
And of course, running such a large placement programme every year also means that we have an ever-growing network of employers who have close links with each degree programme. It puts LTU right at the heart of the Leeds business community and has led to business relationships that extend well beyond the placement programme itself. Every year, we encourage both employers and students to nominate each other for a placement award at the Leeds Trinity Employability Awards.
These close links with the business community really help with graduate employment and over 60 per cent of our students continue working for their placement provider in some way. Many of our graduate jobs are also converted from placements.
Our results speak for themselves, with 97 per cent of our graduates in further work or study six months after leaving us. 94 per cent of the employers we work with feel that students met or exceeded their expectations in terms of performance and skills.
We were named the best University in Yorkshire for student satisfaction and also for employability, according to the 2017 National Student Survey. We're also ranked in the top 20 in the UK for employability – and that's something that we're hugely proud of.

Written by Fiona Cummins — Anyone remember Brookside? It was a Channel 4 soap opera, set in Liverpool, which was very popular during the 1980s, 90s and nearly noughties. The action all took place in and around Brookside Close, and one of the most explosive storylines was when an abused wife killed her violent husband and buried him under the patio in the back garden.
Welcome to Fiona Cummins' latest book. It's her first standalone, following in the wake of Rattle and The Collector, and fans will be happy to hear that it boasts plenty of her trademark menacing twists and turns.
Things begin innocuously enough with a children's party held in a toy shop. But this toy shop has a hint of the Stephen King about it and in addition to a celebratory puppet show there are lots of creepy dolls… In fact, the only thing missing is a scary clown to add to the unease of the event.
Something goes badly wrong, and that something has repercussions in the present day, where a serial killer dubbed the Doll Maker is casting a pall over The Avenue and its inhabitants. The unknown murderer's modus operandi is to leave his victims unblemished, except for the fact that their eyes are removed and replaced with doll eyes, with their faces painted like a doll's too.
Sounds like anything but a perfect time to move into The Avenue, doesn't it? But that's exactly what the Lockwood family do, taking advantage of a cheap deal to move from the debts and disillusionment of leafy Cheshire in the hope of building a new life down south. Garrick is an architect while wife Olivia is a freelance PR. They see it as their chance to repair a rocky marriage. Their children, nine-year-old Evan and teenager Aster, see it as a huge mistake. When they arrive with the removals van, only to see a sheeted body being removed from the woods behind their new home, all four begin to question the wisdom of it.
The police are already struggling with the case, the the identity of the latest victim knocks things up a notch, especially for DS Wildeve Stanton. At a time when she's desperate to work with the rest of her team, she finds herself sidelined. Frustrated, she teams up with a former colleague and the pair begin a separate investigation. I loved Wildeve, from her wonderful name to the complicated emotions bestowed upon her by author Cummins. Wild is right there at the centre of it all, while around her spins a maelstrom of secrets, some tawdry, some downright dangerous.
We're offered fleeting glimpses of the killer's mind and motivation in short chapters which whet the appetite and drive you on to read more and more. Almost all of the action happens in and around The Avenue, adding to the feeling of the walls closing in as you devour page after page, possibly well past your bedtime. The Neighbour contains little of the gory detail that has previously set this author's books apart from the herd. This book is not quite up to the gut churning standards of Rattle and The Collector but you will enjoy it all the same. Instead, Cummins plays with your emotions – and very well she does it too.
For more domestic noir try Robyn Harding's Her Pretty Face. For another twist on the perils of climbing the property ladder see Our House by Louise Candlish.
Just waiting for the physical copy of this to arrive today have it on my iPad but like the physical book as well.


Many young Russians are taking dangerous risks in their quest for entertainment - climbing onto roofs, descending into basements, lurking in metro tunnels, and riding on the backs of trains.
A now-famous YouTube video of two Russians – Vadim Makhorov and Vitaly Raskalov – climbing the 650-meter-tall Shanghai Tower shows the young 'roofers' reaching the top of the tower with ease - with almost no protection and minimal climbing equipment, and without meeting any builders or security guards along the way – and photographing themselves.
In reality, it wasn't that easy. In an interview following their stunt, the two men said they had to choose the right time to get to the top of the tower. On the day Shanghai locals were celebrating Chinese New Year, the two Russians made their way to the construction site at midnight, climbed 120 floors in almost two hours, and then waited 18 hours for the clouds to clear so they could photograph the panorama.
People like Makhorov and Raskalov are not especially popular among Russian roofers, because thanks to them, this not-quite-legal hobby has gained attention and security guards are starting to take more interest in young people trying to climb onto roofs.
He says the purpose of these stunts is to photograph great views and drink beer on the roof, as well as to experience the danger of potentially getting caught. "In those moments, you feel like the hero in a Hollywood action movie," says Pavel.
The complete opposite of roofing is digging. Diggers are people who prefer not to climb onto roofs, but to go underground into basements, metro tunnels, or the maintenance facilities of Soviet military factories. Diggers often try to track police officers engaged in anti-terrorist security. Metro tunnels are usually the hottest spots of interest.
Semyon has been questioned by police a number of times because police vigilance has increased after recent terrorist attacks. Police pay particular attention to people whose curiosity drives them to explore underneath the city. However, this official attention does not appear to have put Semyon off: "We even managed a rubber dinghy ride on the underground Neglinka River, which passes under the center of Moscow," he says.
Perhaps the most dangerous extreme hobby in which Russian youngsters participate is known as zatseping. This means hitching a ride on all kinds of machinery, from passenger and freight trains to public transportation and even metro cars. Since the high-speed Sapsan train opened up between Moscow and St. Petersburg (it can travel at up to 155 miles per hour), illegal 'passengers' have had to be removed from it several times.
According to the transport police, over 600 zatsepery were killed on Russian railroads in 2013 and 424 lovers of the dangerous sport were detained by police. Every accident caused delays in train schedules. However, it is quite difficult to combat because there is only a 100-ruble ($2.50) fine for it.
Young people use social media to arrange where to meet and where to ride. They even buy special keys that let them get into passenger trains from the outside. They try not to attract the attention of railway workers, who may use physical force to remove them from the train.
"I started to ride on the roof or in between train cars when I missed my train one day. Then I started to ride there when the train cars were too full," Roman said in an interview on the RT television channel. He admitted that this type of entertainment can be dangerous but said it is an easy way to travel.
Young people say they engage in this type of entertainment – and any other type of extreme activity – for the adrenaline rush.
This activity – a form of makeshift bungee-jumping - entails jumping off abandoned buildings or buildings under construction using a rope. Jumpers choose a tall structure then communicate with other jumpers by text message or online to arrange a visit to the site, usually on weekends.
If the building is abandoned, there is usually no difficulty jumping from it, but if it is under construction, jumpers have to go there when there are no construction workers onsite. Jumpers can avoid danger if the organizing team has experienced people who can use the equipment properly and make sure the participants are protected.

The Senate Appropriations Committee provides $9,760,000 for the Traumatic Brain Injury program. This amount is the same as the fiscal year 2012 comparable level and the budget request.
The program supports implementation and planning grants to States for coordination and improvement of services to individuals and families with traumatic brain injuries. Such services can include: pre-hospital care, emergency department care, hospital care, rehabilitation, transitional services, education, employment, long-term support, and protection and advocacy services. The Committee includes no less than the fiscal year 2012 funding level for protection and advocacy services, as authorized under section 1305 of Public Law 106-310.


On the platform 100-days.net Initiators (musicians, artists, designers... you!) present their projects and leave them there for 100 days to be funded by Boosters.
In return the Boosters (friends, acquaintances, companies, benefactors...) receive exclusive goodies from the Initiator, such as a signed CD, a personally dedicated book, a mention in film credits etc. – Boosters witness the realisation of the project and can even play an active role in the process.
What makes 100-days.net stand out from conventional crowdfunding platforms?
- Convenient payment methods. The Booster (donor) can make a donation by TWINT, credit card, Paypal, Postfinance, or simply by SMS.
- Security. 100-days.net works with two companies: RaiseNow and FairGive. RaiseNow handles electronic payments on behalf of 100-days.net, whereas FairGive is entrusted with managing project donations during an ongoing project, thereby allowing for contributions to be quickly and securely processed and the protection of data to be guaranteed.
The platform is free of charge for everyone. If Boosters (donors) sponsor a project, the only thing they pay is their donation. Project Initiators don't pay anything. After the project has been successfully funded (and only then!), a handling fee amounting to 9% excl. VAT (incl. fees charged by financial service providers , resp. 11% for a funding in stages) of the total amount received will be deducted and the remaining amount will be transferred to the Project Initiators.
What happens if the project doesn't reach its funding target?
100-days.net operates on the principle of "all or nothing". If a project doesn't reach its target amount within 100 days, all contributions will be returned to the Boosters (minus fees charged by the financial service providers), and for the Project Initiators this means "easy come, easy go".
Just write to us at .
100-days.net is a limited company which is 100% owned by Ron Orp GmbH, based in Zurich.

Everyone can get involved!
How much does it cost to promote my project on 100-days.net?
Nothing. Once your project has been successfully funded (and only then!), 100-days.net will deduct a handling fee amounting to 9% excl. VAT (incl. fees charged by financial service providers , resp. 11% for a funding in stages) of the total amount you have collected and then transfer the remaining sum to you.
At 100-days.net you get everything: one-on-one support, expert tips, tools, tricks and statistics for the duration of your project, as well as the full promotional force of Ron Orp.
Then: Promote your project! Give it everything you've got for 100 days, with plenty of creativity, passion and drive. And raise the money you need. P.S.: Don't be shy!
How do I go about promoting a project on 100-days.net?
Once you have registered, you will receive an email providing you with access to the project creation page. Here, you can create your project in 12 steps. You can take as much time as you need to create your project.
The way you present your project is particularly important. Make sure you have some good pictures and, if possible, a video which tells people a little bit about your project and will persuade them to sponsor you.
Once you have created your project and devised some imaginative goodies, the project will be checked by 100-days.net. If 100-days.net is satisfied, the project will be approved and you can then decide when you want your project to begin.
Can I still change my project details after the project has been published?
The project description & the goodies can no longer be changed but you may add additional goodies. News and Needs (other things you require besides money), however, can be adapted and updated during the 100-day project promotion period if required.
How long does it take for 100-days.net to approve a project?
Are there any projects which don't get published?
Projects which are pornographic, racist, defamatory, or which glorify violence will not be tolerated on 100-days.net. Furthermore, projects must not be misused for money laundering, loan requests, or gambling. 100-days.net has the right to reject projects without offering an explanation.
Will 100-days.net provide me with support?
100-days.net checks the project content and looks at whether the project has been well presented. Once your project has been approved, you will receive access to all tips, tricks and tools available on 100-days.net, as well as to your own newsletter tool and dashboard for your project.
Can I promote my project on other platforms simultaneously?
No. This causes confusion for the people who are involved in the project and want to sponsor you. Publish your project on 100-days.net and put all your energy into getting as many people as possible to visit your project page. The following principle applies: One project, one link!
How much time do I have to promote my project?
You decide how long you want your crowdfunding project to run for. From 1 to max. 120 days everything is possible. A duration of 100 days is actually a bit of an overlong perion of time for a crowdfunding. Remeber, you have to actively promote your project every single day while its active. Should you want to choose a duration that isn't within the preset duration choices, just shoot us an e-mail at support@100-days.net and we're happy to help you.
100-days.net operates on the principle of "all or nothing". If a project doesn't achieve its target amount within the project duration, all contributions will be returned to the Boosters (minus third party fees) and for you this means "easy come, easy go".
Can my project be extended / shortened?
If your project hits its funding target before the end of the 100-day period, you can continue to promote your project and generate surplus funding. Explain what you are going to do with the surplus money on your project website. In exceptional cases, a project may be shortened or extended (a maximum of 20 extra days).
As a Project Initiator, can I delete my account?
Projects which have not been activated can be deleted. All projects which have already entered the funding phase (100-day duration) can no longer be deleted. Projects which do not reach their funding target will eventually be removed from the website.
What do I have to do to get people to sponsor my project?
You have to actively promote your project every day. That's why it's important that you prepare thoroughly and set aside plenty of time for your promotional activities. 100-days.net will provide you with plenty of tips and features to publicise your project.
How important is Facebook when it comes to promoting my project?
Facebook and other social media sites are important platforms for telling people in your social circle about your project. But there are numerous other ways to raise awareness for your project. Check out the tips, tricks & tools at 100-days.net.
Why would people want to sponsor a project when they're not going to get their money back?
It's all about karma, being part of something and a love of projects. People are curious, they want to be inspired and do something good. That's why they choose to sponsor exciting projects.
I have a large-scale project which requires a lot of money. Is that also possible?
Yes, of course! You can set the project amount as high as you wish. The thing to remember is: you have fixed amout of days to advertise and beat the promotional drum for your project. The higher the amount, the more difficult it can be to raise the money.
Also bear in mind: 100-days.net operates on the principle of "all or nothing". This means that if you haven't raised 100% of the funding you require, the money is transferred back to the sponsors.
If you raise more than the required sum, you can keep the surplus funding. That's why we recommend setting a lower funding target and providing a description of what you intend to do with any surplus money.
Can 100-days.net also be used to procure investments or venture capital?
No. 100-days.net is intended solely as a project funding platform. In return for funding, Boosters will receive exclusive goodies, but will not receive interest payments or a financial stake in the project.
What happens if I achieve my funding target but people keep donating funds?
If that's the case, congratulations. 100-days.net pays out the entire sum of the funds donated. Write what you intend to do with the surplus funding under News and Needs.
As soon as the 100-day period is up, the final donations have been paid and then transferred to us by the payment institution, you will receive the money. Unfortunately it can sometimes take up to 60 days before we receive all of the money from the credit card companies.
What happens if I fail to reach my funding target after 100 days?
Don't be sad. All the money donated will be returned to the Boosters (donors). Your project will still be visible for a period of 10 days on 100-days.net.
I don't only need money, but also people, infrastructure and equipment in order to realise my project. Can I also find these things on 100-days.net?
Yes. Each project also has a category that we call "Needs". You can use this category at any time to search for the expertise, talent, infrastructure, equipment, people etc. you need for your project.
I don't need any money for my project but I still want to promote my project on 100-days.net. Is this possible?
Yes and no. You can set a project with a low funding target (example: 100 francs) and create goodies worth 15, 16, or more francs (which are also small sums). Next to the goodies you can describe what else you need in addition to money. Example: Anyone who donates 15 francs should also be available on two days to help carry equipment.
How can I sponsor a project?
- By sharing the project within your community. Tell others about it.
What happens to the money which is donated?
100-days.net is a partner of FairGive. FairGive controls and manages donation transactions between all payment providers and 100-days.net. It guarantees the protection of your personal information and the secure handling of your money. If the project reaches its funding target, 100-days.net/FairGive will transfer the total sum collected to the Project Initiator after deducting a handling fee amounting to 9% excl. VAT (incl. fees charged by financial service providers , resp. 11% for a funding in stages) for 100-days.net.
If the project fails to reach its funding target, the money you have donated will be transferred back to you (minus third-party fees).
Yes. You can make anonymous donations. If you choose to do so, the Project Initiator will not be able to see who has made the donation. Anonymous donors, however, cannot receive any goodies. Your contact details (surname, first name and email address) will only be used by 100-days.net and FairGive.
No. Once the amount has been paid, the money can no longer be claimed back.
How and when do I receive my goodies?
Once a project has reached its funding target, the Project Initiator has a period of 18 months in which to implement the project. The Project Initiator should send out the goodies after the project has been implemented, at the very latest. Don't forget: If you have made an anonymous financial contribution you cannot claim any goodies.
What happens to my donation if the project fails to reach its funding target?
If the project fails to reach its funding target within the project duration, the amount you have donated will be transferred back to you (minus third-party fees). Please note: If your payment was made by SMS, the amount will be transferred back to you via Paypal.
How can I be sure that the project I have supported will actually be launched?
100-days.net checks all submitted projects as thoroughly as possible. This enables us to ensure that the people behind the project are real and can be contacted at any time. Because a lot of the donations come from the Project Initiator's social circle, and because the Project Initiator has invested a lot of time and effort, there is a high level of certainty that the project will be launched.
Does 100-days.net know who the Project Initiators are?
Yes. 100-days.net checks each Project Initiator using the data that Project Initiators are required to enter during the 12-step project creation process.
Which methods of payment can I use to support a project?
Payments can be made by credit card (VISA, MasterCard), PostFinance/E-Finance, Paypal and SMS.

One of the first signs of facial aging is the drooping and excess folds of the upper eyelids. This is often aggravating and even causes drooping of the eyebrows and overall forehead. This droop tends to cause the upper eyelids to bulge and be pushed down and lie almost directly on top of the eyelashes. Patients often complain that their eyes appear smaller or deeper set than they really are, or that they appear to look sad and tired – even though they don't feel this way. In addition, the inner eyebrow and area between the eyebrows may sag and develop deep creasing, which creates an angry look or scowl – like you are frowning when you actually are not.
Correcting the underlying muscular cause of these problems can be accomplished with a forehead or eyebrow lift surgery. The forehead/eyebrow lift can be performed as a procedure on its own as well as in conjunction with other facial plastic surgery (most commonly because they directly relate to face rejuvenation, such as face lifting).
Any type of forehead lift will help the sagging of the brows in the area between the brows at the root of the nose as well as decrease the wrinkles in this area and on the forehead. It is especially helpful in diminishing the creases and furrows between the eyebrows that tend to give you a stern or angry appearance. The procedure usually results in eyes that appear brighter, larger and more youthful looking as well as a lessening of the "crow's feet" often found in the outside corners of the eye. This procedure, however, will not correct excess skin that collects on the upper and lower eye lids or "bags" caused by fat herniation at the inner corner of the eyes.
Most importantly, Dr. Perkins with his skill and experience will not "over-do" the brow lift, leaving you with a "surprised" look. A refreshed, rested appearance is always his goal for patients so that they look like their natural self.
It used to be that possible hair loss, hair removal and large incisions accompanied a forehead/ eyebrow lift procedure. Dr. Perkins utilizes much less invasive endoscopic techniques for this surgery that minimize incisions, decrease the possibility of hair loss and reduce areas of temporary numbness. These newer techniques also rarely produce bruising and can often be performed totally behind the hairline.
For patients with a high hairline, thinning hair or for men with male pattern baldness, there are other options for making access incisions to accomplish the brow lift yet end up with non-noticeable incision scars.
Determining which approach or type of forehead-brow lift that is appropriate for you will be discussed in your consultation with Dr. Perkins. It often relates to your natural hairline, the amount of hair you have and your type of hairstyle.
Dr. Perkins utilizes computerized imaging with forehead/brow lift procedures. This gives patients the opportunity to see what their results will look like before they have their surgery.


When trying to join an XMPP server using a username such as user@… it complains that "The username you specified is invalid because it contains spaces or other non-alphanumeric characters." Although many XMPP servers are set up with virtual hosting where entering the domain is neccessary for the username.
Was there a regression on this? http://skitch.com/joestump/n77r5/colloquy Currently, I don't think Colloquy is usable with XMPP over SSL.

MLB Network Digs In for World Baseball Classic
David Tanklefsky
In the first World Baseball Classic in 2006, Team USA finished an embarrassing eighth out of 16 teams, losing their final two games to Korea (ouch) and Mexico (ouch), despite a team that boasted dominant MLB ballplayers like Alex Rodriguez, Derrek Lee, and Chipper Jones. This year will be different, at least if you listen to the analysts at MLB Network, who are hoping that coverage of the Classic will be a coup for their network as well.
Harold Reynolds, a former All-Star and Gold Glove winner for the Seattle Mariners and now an analyst for MLB Network believes the '06 USA team was physically unprepared to play against teams that had been playing ball year round. "I think across the board major league players weren't quite ready," Reynolds said in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday. He was quick to point out that it was ill-preparedness rather than a lack of patriotism that sent Team USA to the showers early.
"As one of the broadcasters in MLB Network who actually played in the inaugural WBC for Team USA, I can tell you we were immensely [disappointed]," said former big league pitcher Al Leiter.
MLB Network will televise 16 WBC games along with a nightly studio program, World Baseball Classic Tonight. Some of the network's reporters, like Reynolds and Leiter, who are typically in the studio, will be helping to call games. The team of Reynolds, Leiter, and Matt Vasgersian will cover games being played in Miami while Victor Rojas and Joe Magrane handle those in Toronto. MLB Network president and CEO Tony Petitti is overseeing the coverage.
Petitti sounded like a big league manager himself when he spoke of the crew he has in place to cover the WBC. "It's a really deep team with a lot of experience…versatility; that was really important, we wanted our team to be plugged into a lot [of different aspects of coverage]."
Sounds like MLB Network is ready for the World Baseball Classic. Let's just hope Team USA is too.
The WBC begins March 5. Team USA's first game is against Canada on March 7 at 2 p.m.

Additionally test tools were developed, to allow both in-house developers and hotel partners to test their communications for protocol correctness according to OTA specifications, proper error handling and load handling.

Gybe towards the equator imminent
After 26 days at sea, Gitana 13 has covered over 8,700 miles and still has 4,200 miles to cover this Tuesday morning to reach the Elizabeth II Bridge at the entrance to the River Thames and the end of its Tea Route voyage. Still making headway to the west in the tradewinds of the southern hemisphere, Lionel Lemonchois and his men will gybe towards the equator and the infamous Doldrums during the course of the day.
" We've had some wind again since yesterday afternoon. There is a steady tradewind kicking out 20 to 25 knots of breeze, which is enabling the helmsmen to benefit from some great sessions to slip along in. We are virtually in the middle of the Atlantic, a long way from everything…" confided Dominic Vittet, prior to drawing up Gitana 13's 'plan of attack' for the next few days: "Our northward gybe isn't far off now. It's an important moment in terms of strategy and that's why we're constantly refining our timing with Sylvain Mondon onshore and Lionel."
Indeed, the crew of the maxi-catamaran equipped by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, will benefit from a rather unusual situation in which to cross the equator and above all the Doldrums a little further north: "By gybing (change of tack to a downwind point of sail) today, the objective is to climb due northwards, on starboard tack, and benefit as much as they can from the African monsoon (SW'ly winds) to cross the Doldrums to its east. This opportunity will enable them to 'cut the corner' and gain some precious miles along the course" enthused the onboard navigator.
Sylvain Mondon sheds some light on this rather atypical scenario, which looks to be a great opportunity for Lionel Lemonchois and his nine man crew: "The Doldrums or the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone is caused by the opposition of the tradewinds in the northern hemisphere (NE'ly sector) and those in the southern hemisphere (SE'ly sector). This zone is synonymous with shifty winds, with conditions alternating between calms and violent squalls. In a standard situation, the Doldrums stretch further eastwards and very often as a result it is very difficult to traverse the zone near the African coast. Sometimes though a monsoon airflow, which generates SW'ly winds, can form and upset the original scenario. You can observe this phenomenon when the African continent warms up sufficiently to create a thermal low that diverts the SE'ly tradewinds from the southern hemisphere. And this is exactly what is happening at the moment off the coast of Guinea, Sierra Leone and also the Ivory Coast."
According to the latest forecasts there is still a chance for the maxi-catamaran in the colours of the LCF Rothschild Group to return to the northern hemisphere during the course of the day on Thursday 11th September.
Gitana 13 left Hong Kong on Thursday 14th August at 07h55'32'' (UT)

We put you in charge right from the start with online access to better rates and lower fees 24/7 with out requiring a bunch of personal information or waiting for the next available Loan Officer.
We've also moved up what most lenders wait to do last by having our underwriters sign off on your documentation in the beginning, as soon as you send it in. Most lenders have a processor review things prior to getting your file in front of the underwriter, which can slow things down. We're simply different.
When you upload your requested documents with Box Home Loans, they go right to the underwriter for review and you get updates real time with your personalized "My Account" page. It's like a back room peak at live loan progress. We'll also email you the instant the underwriter reviews your documents to let you know what things are done and approved and what's still outstanding. No more waiting for a Processor or Loan Officer to call you with an update. You can log on to your "My Account" page any time to check the progress of your loan and see individual conditions that we're waiting for from you or third party service providers like appraisals and title work. It's like a live view of your loans checklist for closing.
While there's a lot less waiting around time "Inside The Box", getting your documents in quickly and seeing what you've sent using your "My Account" page puts everyone on the same page and that saves time. It's one of many reasons we average getting loans done 5 days early.

When Was Sofia Vergara Voted Most Beautifual
Sofia Vergara is an Ecuadorian actress, vocalist, tv character, and producer. She is the highest-earning starlet in American television history for 8 straight years, from 2020 to 2020.
Sofia Vergara became known to Americans through her appearances on different popular programs such as Modern Family, The Mind Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Roseanne. In each of these series she depicted the mother of modern household. She also gained appeal on her roles in dramas Ordinary Family, Miami Law, and Shades of Blue. All of these resulted in critical honor, awards, and supporting roles in Best Screenplays and Leading Acting elections. It is clear that since Modern Family introduced, Sofia Vergara has attained near cult status in the US. Below are a few of her more popular TV functions and accolades.
On the tv show, Modern Family Sofia Vergara plays Mauricio. Sofia plays the mother, Corin, who cares deeply for her child while juggling a big household of her own.
In the motion picture, Bridesmaids, Sofia Vergara played Camila. She was the 2nd highest-paid starlet on Modern Family.
Another significant role that Sofia Vergara has actually played on Modern Family is Leighton Meester. He is the freely gay boy of an affluent household. As shown by the birth of his 2nd kid, Leighton took on the role of a surrogate to assist conserve the lives of his spouse and child by getting his buddies to contribute sperm to assist in the process.
An appearance back at the modern household series ending, one can see how Sofia Vergara played a large role in brightening the struggles and sacrifices that the members of the modern household must go through in order to raise a successful and pleased family. After all, in the last scene of the episode, it was exposed that Lauren had died in giving birth, having been shot by a hunter while attempting to save her mom from an upcoming bullet. Lauren had actually stayed real to her morals throughout her life, but her actions in conserving her mom threatened her own personal joy. However, after discovering that she was going to pass away in giving birth, she went ahead with it, risking her own security as well as that of her unborn child to do so.
In regards to acting ability, Sofia Vergara does not have the sort of range that you would typically get out of a starlets. However, she does play the best out of her 2 protagonist, Lauren Bialik and Mike Epps. While Epps is more over the top when it comes to emotions, Bialik has a more downplayed way. It is this sort of subtlety that makes Bialik different from much of his other co-stars on Modern Family, in that it is unusual for a star on such a mainstream show to display any variety, not to mention 2. Sofia Vergara does an excellent task of playing the deeply damaged yet durable woman, in that it is really easy to root for her in these episodes. Her character is merely an amazing example of what a contemporary family need to be like.
In General, Modern Family has ended up being understood as one of the most politically proper shows on TELEVISION, which has helped it increase in appeal among the seeing public. Sofia Vergara provides an excellent performance as the common rural mother, as well as one that is totally different than what we see on Modern Family. Overall, the final episode of Modern Family is one that I would recommend anyone to see.
Sofia Vergara became understood to Americans through her looks on various popular programs such as Modern Family, The Mind Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Roseanne. On the television program, Modern Family Sofia Vergara plays Mauricio. Another noteworthy role that Sofia Vergara has actually played on Modern Family is Leighton Meester. A look back at the modern household series finale, one can see how Sofia Vergara played a big function in brightening the battles and sacrifices that the members of the modern family need to go through in order to raise a delighted and successful household. Sofia Vergara provides an exceptional performance as the normal suburban mom, as well as one that is totally different than what we see on Modern Family. When Was Sofia Vergara Voted Most Beautifual

How COVID-19 Will Change the Future of The Workforce
The COVID-19 coronavirus is having a massive impact on global civilization and in more than one way. It is primarily a health crisis, and it is exposing various strengths and weaknesses in different nations' healthcare industries. But this virus is also poised to reshape the workplace, the food industry, and the entertainment industry in the U.S. and beyond, and office managers are advised to prepare themselves for these possible changes in the near future. It is not unthinkable that once the pandemic is over, business and office work will look very different and put emphasis on different values and strategies. What are some possible upcoming changes for a post-COVID workplace?
Office Sanitation
Many of these expected changes concern IT work, commuting, social media, and customer service, but office cleanliness is bound to undergo some changes, too. Health is a universal concern, and already, a number of offices and workspaces are not as clean as they should be. Many door knobs and handles, tables, and computer keyboards and mice are covered in bacteria and other grime, which is unsanitary even without the context of COVID-19. What is more, many offices have dirty air conditioning systems and air ducts, where dust, pollen, bacteria, and other air pollution particles get circulated around the entire office. That, combined with VOCs from dirty carpets, can greatly lower any worker's cognitive functions, as studies already show. Clean air makes all the difference in that regard, and cleaner air and surfaces can reduce the number of sick days as well.
So, once the pandemic and workers return to their offices, the managers are likely to make a renewed effort to clean up the office. They can hire maid services to vacuum and shampoo the carpets more often, and they can encourage office workers to wipe down computer equipment, door knobs, and other surfaces more regularly to contain the spread of any disease (not just COVID-19). This will cut back on the number of sick days that office workers need, and that in turn can boost workplace productivity and thus, boost profits, too. Health should never be taken for granted, and the pandemic can give office workers a new perspective on office sanitation. Air ducts can be cleaned out and replaced to help cut down on VOCs, too.
More Remote Work
The pandemic did not have a comprehensive impact on the American workplace. In the years leading up to the pandemic, a great number of office workers were already choosing the option of working remotely from home, and there are more than a few benefits to doing this. During this pandemic, practically every worker that can take this route is doing so, and once the COVID-19 pandemic ends, they may decide that remote work is the one and only way they want to work. The emergency option may soon become the new norm for some businesses.
With or without a dangerous pandemic, what are the benefits of working remotely like this? Such a workplace arrangement was not feasible in earlier decades, but now, it is quite practical. For one thing, a remote worker is not commuting anywhere, so he or she can use all the commute time for the work itself, boosting productivity. This also takes a number of cars off the road, which can add up fast, and ease congestion for the remaining cars, buses, and motorcycles. And, of course, this cuts down on air pollution. Currently, a number of photo comparisons have been done to show how much cleaner city air has become during this pandemic, owing to low traffic. When the pandemic ends, having so many remote workers may help maintain that clean air.
The benefits also extend to having a quiet and distraction-free workplace. A remote worker is ensconced in his or her own home office, a room with a closed door, and no other occupants. This is a quiet place, which contrasts sharply with noisy offices filled with people talking to each other or having phone conversations. Studies show that all this ambient noise will raise an office worker's stress levels, make them more prone to making costly errors, stress them out, and make phone conversations difficult to hear correctly. In turn, this can lower customer service quality, and that may lead to customers or clients getting annoyed and giving up on the company. One option is to simply have a soundproof phone booth in the office, and a number of offices are indeed installing such things. But remote work can have a similar effect.
Modern internet technology is what makes remote work feasible. A given remote worker will use a PC or laptop to perform their work, and they can use a combination of e-mails and Cloud data storage to receive and share documents from their co-workers, bosses, clients, business partners, and other parties. Already, offices tend to use hybrid systems that combine their physical data center's own storage with that of the company's cloud data storage, making for a seamless and universal whole. This way, any file can be shared to and from any party without issue, even remote workers who are miles (or even entire states) away. Something similar can be said about phone calls and video chat programs, and apps such as Skype and others allow business professionals to converse and share visuals such as charts or product prototypes. The pandemic may give office workers a newfound appreciation for all this.
Worker Value and Managers
This pandemic is also making large companies keenly aware of the true value of all their employees, even the ones who are low-skilled. With so many Americans unable to work, companies are realizing what they are missing, and fully understand what these workers contribute. As a result, companies are boosting wages and workplace conditions (and in some cases, workers go on strike first to move this process along). This extends to the value of temp and part-time workers, who are stepping up to help make deliveries possible. Right now, a vast quantity of goods and food products are being ordered online, and they have to be delivered somehow. Countless part-time and temp workers are making those deliveries, such as by car or truck, and this trend may continue into the post-pandemic world.
Even the position of "manager" will be affected by this. More and more office workers are using electronic means to communicate, share files, and collaborate, which is largely eliminating the need for middle managers and project managers. The workers have become so interconnected, these roles are redundant. Instead, there will likely be more positions of "team leader" instead. Similarly, senior managers will likely take fewer physical trips around the world for reviews or meetings, and instead, use video conferences and virtual presences to attend such meetings and presentations. This cuts down on the costs and stress of travel, and reduces the risks of the traveling manager getting lost or hurt, too.
There is no doubt about it — the world will forever be different after this pandemic. Luckily, some of the brightest minds in the world are working tirelessly to find a way for businesses to get back on their feet and for the future workforce to thrive.

UCLan to lead study on global responses to domestic violence and abuse under Covid-19
Academics in the Connect Centre for International Research on Interpersonal Violence and Harm will study policy and practice responses in four countries
A new international study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, as part of UK Research and Innovation's rapid response to Covid-19, will launch later this month to examine global responses to domestic violence and abuse during the Covid-19 pandemic.
'Domestic Abuse: Harnessing Learning internationally under Covid-19' (DAHLIA-19) is led by Professor Nicky Stanley and colleagues in the Connect Centre for International Research on Interpersonal Violence and Harm at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan).
The study will examine policy and practice responses in four countries: the UK, Australia, Ireland and South Africa.
Together with researchers at the University of Edinburgh, University of Melbourne, Trinity College Dublin and the University of the Witwatersrand, Professor Stanley and colleagues will collaborate with domestic violence organisations and policy actors in all four countries to collect and compare different initiatives and policies for all family members living with domestic violence and abuse.
Domestic abuse services and experts across the UK will be invited to contribute evidence and experience to the research which will produce briefings and feedback for providers and policy makers throughout the 14-month study. A final report will be available by January 2022.
Professor Stanley said: "The risks of living with domestic violence and abuse have increased under Covid-19 restrictions and support and services have become harder for victims and their families to access. A range of responses at policy and practice levels have emerged. These differ across the world and little is known as yet about their take-up and impact. This study will fill an important gap in our knowledge."
Nicole Jacobs, the Designate Domestic Abuse Commissioner for England and Wales, welcomed this research and commented: "We know that victims of domestic abuse have faced much greater danger during the Covid-19 pandemic. Many have felt lost, isolated and fearful and unable to access help or support. It is essential that we learn lessons from the response worldwide now so that we can bring about positive change that will help victims in times of future crisis. Given the Connect Centre's considerable experience in this area, I believe this study will make a real difference to many people globally."
