Work to start at railway bridge to support cyclist and pedestrian safety
We are making permanent changes to the road layout under the Bristol Parkway railway bridge on Brierly Furlong in Stoke Gifford to help support pedestrians and cyclists.
In anticipation for increased traffic levels in September as we ease back to normality, engineers have been reviewing the experimental Traffic Management arrangements at the bridge.
The footways both sides of the roadway are to be widened but shuttle traffic lights will be removed and the road returned to two-way traffic, albeit at slower speeds.
A temporary 20mph speed limit order will be introduced along Brierly Furlong and Hatchet Road, from south of the mini-roundabout at Church Road junction to Radcliffe Drive roundabout.
To enable the footway widening works, Brierly Furlong will need to be closed overnight for 10 weekday nights between the hours of 8pm and 6am, from Monday 23 August to Friday 3rd September. The road will be closed between its junction with Bristol Parkway Station and Church Road.
In addition to this work, our road safety officers will be working with local schools to ensure road safety is at the fore of everyone's minds and that all users are fully aware of the changes and implications.
The footway improvements, which will be in place as schools and colleges return in September, follow a 14-month trial at the bridge. Historically this area has been pinch point for people walking or cycling as the road narrows under the bridge and to address this issue, as well as help people manage social distancing, shuttle lights were introduced along with temporary wider walkways.
South Gloucestershire Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Environment and Strategic Infrastructure, Cllr Steve Reade said: "The temporary measures at Bristol Parkway bridge were implemented to enable social distancing, but while Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted and the necessity for them to remain in place has greatly reduced, there is still a need to maintain safety for pedestrians and cyclists under the bridge.
"Following consultation with local members, we will be introducing a new scheme which will re-open this local pinch point to two-way traffic while maintaining the safety of pedestrians and cyclists by widening the footpaths and introducing a lower speed limit. The work will be carried-out with overnight closures in place to minimise any disruption at peak times and we thank members of the public in advance for their patience.
"Our efforts to deliver a long-term solution to ensure safety under the bridge continue and we are working with Network Rail to explore the potential for a separate pedestrian tunnel through the embankment of the bridge."

Q: Firebase rules variable not matching as string so I am trying to match the user email with the collection name like below in my Firestore rules:
rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /users/{userEmail} {
      allow read: if request.auth.token.email.matches(userEmail);
    }
  }
}

I am aware its not good practice to set collection ID's as emails, but please assume it to be any string here. The above does not work. however, if I replace request.auth.token.email.matches(userEmail)   with request.auth.token.email.matches("myemail@gmail.com") it works fine.

Above I have a single document in my users collection with id = myemail@gmail.com, so why is it not matching when I use the userEmail variable but will match if I use "myemail@gmail.com" string?
Additional Info:
Request to /getAccountInfo you can see myemail@gmail.com as email

App code
I used Vuexfire for firestore binding.
store/index.js
bindUsers: firestoreAction(({bindFirestoreRef}) => {
    return bindFirestoreRef("users", db.collection("users")
    .where('email', '==', 'myemail@gmail.com');
}),

App.vue
async mounted() {
    if (firebase.auth.currentUser) {
        // Bind Vuexfire after if/when user exists to capture Firestore changes
        await this.$store.dispatch("bindUsers");
    }
}

A: Your query is filtering on a document property called email (not its ID):
return bindFirestoreRef("users", db.collection("users")
.where('email', '==', 'myemail@gmail.com');

This has nothing to do with the email token in the user's Firebase Auth account.  You haven't shown that you have an email property in the document at all - all you have is a document with an ID that contains an email address.
Your query ultimately needs to match the rule that limits the query.  This means that you need some way of explicitly filtering on the client in a way that matches the constraints of the rule.  This means you're going to have to use a get() type query for the specific document with an ID, not a collection query that requires filtering with a where clause.

A: I could be wrong, but it looks like you are writing your rule more like a filter than as a security rule.
@DougStevenson will know much better than me, but if you hard-code a string value then Firestore can determine explicitly if that rule will succeed or fail.  But if you use a variable, then I believe that Firestore determines whether the rule will return true or false in general - not specific runtime cases.  In this case, the rule should return false since there will be rows that fail the test.
It almost looks like you are trying to use your rule to filter out rows.  Firestore Rules don't work that way.
As Doug suggests, you should show us some client-side code you are using for accessing that collection so we can determine if the code is falling into the "rule trying to be a filter" trap.

Cleo Wattenström Is Joel Kinnaman's Wife – Inside Their Relationship
By Chika Udeh
Tattoo artists are among the most creative minds and hands we have in the world and the likes of Cleo Wattenström and many others have successfully been able to carve a niche for themselves in that field. Cleo who is also known as Joel Kinnaman's wife has reached out to the world through her own special way of expressing art.
Check out more interesting facts about Cleo Wattenström below.
Who is Cleo Wattenström
Cleo Wattenström is a Swedish-American tattoo artist best known for her detailed black and grey work which has ushered her into some of the distinguished tattoo conventions internationally. With her office located in Southern California, Cleo has made a name across all American states with her tattoo style which is generally considered as a unique form of arts.
Life Before Fame
Born on June 12, 1992, Cleo is also a Belgian. She grew up in Brussels' largest city but had to travel to different places with her parent before they finally settled in Stockholm, Sweden. At that time, she was just 14 years. Having settled with her parents, Cleo, who already has a passion for tattoos following her exposure to varieties of cultures looked for places she could work as an apprentice so as to perfect her skills as a tattoo artist. She also speaks of black and white photographs and movies as her main sources of inspiration.
Cleo's love for arts pushed her out of the walls of the classroom. According to her, she dropped out of school to search for people and places so she could learn more about becoming a tattoo artist. While practicing her desired career, she also ventured into modeling. She has even posed for glamour, retros and horror genres of books, and has made it to covers of several fashion magazines both locally and internationally.
As a celebrity in her own right, Cleo Wattenström has gathered some wealth for herself though she is yet to reveal how much she is worth. But generally, we know her wealth will not be as much as that of her husband which stands roughly at $6 million.
Her Parents and Family Members
Not much is known about Cleo's family, particularly her siblings and parents. All we could gather so far is that she belongs to a mixed ethnicity as her parents whose identity are yet to be known, are of Swedish and Ethiopian descent.

On the other hand, Cleo Wattenström is known for being Joel Kinnaman's wife and has maintained that status for a long time. Joel Kinnaman is a famous actor from Sweden. He was born in Stockholm, Sweden and his name in full is Charles Joel Nordström Kinnaman. The actor is multiracial – from his mother's side, he is of Jewish descent and from his father's side, he is of Irish, English, German and Scottish ancestry.
The Swedish and American actor is best known for his roles in films like Easy Money, Arn – The Kingdom at Road's End, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Suicide Squad and many more. He even won the Guldbagge Awards in 2011, as the Best Actor, and was nominated for the 2012 Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor on Television.
Apparently, Joel Kinnaman and Cleo Wattenström started dating in December 2014 but they were seen together for the first time in August the same year. Two years after, precisely in April 2016, they said yes to each other in a marriage ceremony at a place called Same Day Marriage in San Vicente Boulevard.
Prior to Cleo, Joel was known for dating American actress and model, Olivia Munn. He dated her for two years before they separated in 2014. He was also in a relationship with Jane Timglas, an actress who he met on the set of Snabba Cash. The relationship began in 2009 and ended in 2011.
Cleo lived with her husband in Venice, California, but has her office located in Southern California, until in January 2019, when the duo was confirmed to have divorced. Despite being separated, Cleo and Joel have remained best of friends. They often share pictures of themselves hanging out in different public events. While nothing is yet known about Cleo's new relationship, the actor seems to have moved on as he is reportedly spotted with a popular model, Kelly Gale, in Los Angeles.

5 must-know PC tech trends from CES 2023
CES ain't what it used to be. But it's still worth examining the broader trends that emerged at the show.
By Michael Crider
Staff Writer, PCWorld Jan 6, 2023 3:30 am PST
Image: CEA
Let's be blunt: CES feels like it's in a bad place after the pandemic. It looks like taking a couple of years off from the biggest electronics trade show in the world has taught companies that, yes, this could have been an email.
Even so, the PC industry didn't disappoint, with blockbuster keynotes from the major players delivering a sneak peek at what's coming down the pipe in 2023. And now that the dust has settled, there are some recognizable PC trends that are worth examining—most good, some not-so-good. Here they are, in no particular order:
Monitors are getting insane
Call it fallout from a ton of people transitioning to home office, but it looks like monitor makers are set to unleash a hoard of new and eye-catching models this year. And not just in one segment, either. All the gaming display manufacturers are rushing to make premium OLED displays now that the panels are out, but we're also seeing even larger and more ridiculous designs with conventional screens, like Samsung's latest 57-inch Odyssey Neo G9. On the smaller side of things, insanely fast displays with 500Hz panels are coming to the forefront.
Matt Smith/IDG
At the same time, professional and media-focused displays aren't being overlooked. Dell has a 6K Ultrasharp monitor with LG's exquisite IPS Black tech, complete with a high-end webcam and integrated speakers. It's the kind of hardware that can handle Zoom and Blender with equal aplomb. Whatever your setup looks like, you'll have a choice for a display upgrade this year — assuming you can afford it.
Gaming laptops are large and in charge
For a while there it seemed like no one was interested in making a laptop bigger than 15 inches, even if it included discrete graphics and enough thickness to house a wind tunnel's worth of cooling fans. Consider those days over: the big, boisterous gaming laptop is back. Alienware, Acer, and Razer have all revealed new 18-inch models at the top of their respective lines, packed with the latest tech and enough upgrade options to make a Rockefeller flinch.
The massive Alienware M18 offers a huge selection of ports.
Michael Crider/IDG
If you want to play Nostradamus, you could point to an ongoing trend away from ultraportable designs and the assumption that users will mostly be playing at home, with an infrequent jaunt to a local cafe or friend's house. But a more likely culprit is newly announced high-end Intel 13th-gen Core HX, AMD Ryzen/Radeon 7000, and Nvidia RTX 40-series mobile chips that just work better in a gaming laptop…or perhaps more cynically, just need that extra space for more beefy cooling. These new chips are immensely more powerful than anything we've ever seen in prior notebooks.
GPUs are in a bad place
It seemed like the world was holding its breath as the bottom fell out of the graphics card market, just before Nvidia, AMD, and even newcomer Intel announced new lines late last year. Whelp, they're here, and they're underwhelming.
Brad Chacos/IDG
The response to Nvidia's insanely overpriced RTX 40-series was so bad that they straight-up canned a high-end card before launch, and its replacement the RTX 4070 Ti isn't winning any fans either. Though AMD is positioning itself as a more rationally-priced alternative, its flagship 7900 XTX is facing widespread overheating issues — not a good look right before a big CES keynote. And the best you can say about Intel's budget cards is that, well, they're pretty good for a budget. They still have a long way to go to be competitive on anything except price.
In short, it's a bad time to buy a desktop graphics card, whether you want power or value. Sit it out for another six months, or if you're desperate, hunt for a bargain on a last-gen GPU.
Where did all those folding screens go?
Remember a couple of years ago when everyone was over the moon for folding screens, perhaps in no small part because Samsung's Galaxy Fold phones were starting to get pretty decent? Both Lenovo and Asus debuted folding laptop designs, to a resounding cry of "yeah, but why?"
Fast forward and that small bubble seems to have popped, because manufacturers can't answer that question any better than we can. While it makes sense for a device that fits in your pocket to unfold into a larger screen, if you're going to put something in a bag anyway, there doesn't seem to be any reason to fold it in half. Except for, you know, a conventional clamshell laptop design. Lenovo is showing off multiple designs with two screens, and Asus has one with glasses-free 3D, but this particular gimmick seems to be behind us.
For now, anyway. Never underestimate a manufacturer's craving for novelty, just in case it's sitting on the next Yoga or XPS 13.
Do we even need big shows anymore?
To be honest, the relevancy of gigantic, come-one-come-all technology conferences was diminishing even before the pandemic. Big companies like Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft would rather host their own events to get out the message than spend millions of dollars to compete with everyone else to try and get a journalist's face time in the busiest week of the year. Even Dell, a corporation desperate to move units and headquartered a short flight away, decided to ditch the show this year — they invited publications to small, guided tours beforehand instead.
The less consumer-facing parts of the Consumer Electronics Show might remain. Wheeling and dealing of B2B suppliers, smaller vendors showing off their wares at evening press shindigs, among a bunch of reporters who are checking the bowl game scores in between booths. But for the big names of the electronics industry, a trade show is making less and less sense as a place to try and get the attention of the rank and file customer.
The CEA isn't going to let its flagship event die next year, or maybe even this decade. But the days of CES as the tech industry's year-starting smorgasbord might be over. And that might be a good thing. Look for companies bailing on the larger, headline-grabbing events like Mobile World Congress, E3, and IFA, in favor of smaller showcases and calculated, YouTube-style presentations.

FRANKLIN, Ind. - The Bluffton University men's basketball team traveled to Franklin College for a Saturday afternoon matchup on December 7, 2019.
The start of the game was tight with the score notched at 10-10 thanks to a Jameel Cosby (Springfield/Kenton Ridge) triple and an Aaron Rich (Greenville) bucket in the paint. Andrew Renner (Cairo/Bath) put up a three to give the Beavers a 13-10 lead just over five minutes in. The Beaver offense struggled to keep it going as the Grizzlies would go on a 20-4 run, opening a 30-17 lead with 6:02 left in the first. Dezman Brown (Elyria) and AJ Kenney (Marion/River Valley) both hit deuces, but it wasn't enough as Franklin would lead 42-29 going into the half.
Renner hit two shots along with a pair of free throws and Cosby netted two layups to pull the Beavers within five (46-41) early in the second half. Despite what looked like a potential comeback in the making, a 20-8 Franklin spurt allowed the home team to push its lead to 13 and secure the 65-52 victory.
Cosby was the offensive beacon for the Beavers with 17 points. Renner and Rich tallied 14 and seven markers, respectively. Isaiah Taylor (Yellow Springs) and Rich pulled down five boards apiece.
The Beavers struggled offensively as they were connected on 22-of-57 (38.6 percent) from the field, including just 2-of-17 (11.8 percent) from the arc. Franklin knocked down 26-of-58 (44.8 percent) and 8-of-14 (57.1 percent) from deep. Bluffton netted 6-of-10 (60 percent) freebies with Franklin hitting 5-of-7 (71.4 percent). The Beavers forced one more turnover (14-13) but picked up six fewer boards (38-32).
The men will have a week off for final exams before they return to action on Saturday, Dec. 14, when they welcome Rose-Hulman to the Sommer Center. Tip-off is slated for 3 p.m. following the women's game at 1 p.m. Come out and support your Beavers!

Capons are included in the list in the EU Regulation 2092/91 but not in UK Compendium.
Capons are omitted from the list in the UK Compendium, to avoid redundancy of information, because this class of poultry is not reared in UK due to the requirement for a vet for the castration process.

Q: AWS Lambda/SNS Publish ignore invalid endpoints i'm sending apple push notifications via AWS SNS via Lambda with Boto3 and Python.
from __future__ import print_function
import boto3

def lambda_handler(event, context):

    client = boto3.client('sns')
    for record in event['Records']:
        if record['eventName'] == 'INSERT':
            rec = record['dynamodb']['NewImage']
            competitors = rec['competitors']['L']
            for competitor in competitors:
                if competitor['M']['confirmed']['BOOL'] == False:
                    endpoints = competitor['M']['endpoints']['L']
                    for endpoint in endpoints:
                        print(endpoint['S'])
                        response = client.publish(
                            #TopicArn='string',
                            TargetArn = endpoint['S'],
                            Message = 'test message'
                            #Subject='string',
                            #MessageStructure='string',
                        )

Everything works fine! But when an endpoint is invalid for some reason (at the moment this happens everytime i run a development build on my device, since i get a different endpoint then. This will be either not found or deactivated.) the Lambda function fails and gets called all over again. In this particular case if for example the second endpoint fails it will send the push over and over again to endpoint 1 to infinity.
Is it possible to ignore invalid endpoints and just keep going with the function?
Thank you
Edit:
Thanks to your help i was able to solve it with:
try:
    response = client.publish(
        #TopicArn='string',
        TargetArn = endpoint['S'],
        Message = 'test message'
        #Subject='string',
        #MessageStructure='string',
    )
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
    continue

A: Aws lamdba on failure retries the function till the event expires from the stream.
In your case since the exception on the 2nd endpoint is not handled, the retry mechanism ensures the reexecution of post to the first endpoint.
If you handle the exception and ensure the function successfully ends even when there is a failure, then the retries will not happen.

This build helps Li-Ming to improve her missiles since that is her primary ability, not to mention the one with the least amount of cool down. Since these missiles have a longer range and do the same damage at any distance, these are ideal for someone who is looking to do a lot of hit and run attacks. This build works on almost any map and helps out a lot when there is a powerful mercenary or map bonus coming your way since you can quickly deal damage while keeping your distance from them. The only down fall with this build is the missiles will hit someone of something else if it is in the way, so make sure you have good aim and/or maneuverability to be able to hit your target while not getting targeted. Some times it is better to do a lot of little damage at one time, than to do massive damage or a period of time.

Closer look at Shaquem Griffin from a Seahawks fan perspective
July 25, 2021 by The Phinsider Leave a Comment
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports
The Miami Dolphins signed free agent linebacker Shaquem Griffin on Friday, adding a potential key special teams contributor and depth on defense to the roster. While many of us are familiar with Griffin from his time at UCF, we may not have seen how he has transitioned to the NFL after being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
To get a closer look at Griffin, who recorded two tackles against the Dolphins in 2020, I turned to Mookie Alexander, the managing editor of Field Gulls, SB Nation's Seahawks site. I asked Alexander what the Dolphins would be getting in Griffin and why the Seahawks let him leave in free agency. He covered all that and more:
I'm half-joking when I say that Shaquem's departure boiled down more to [his twin brother, cornerback] Shaquill Griffin leaving than anything else. I bet if Shaquill had re-signed in free agency they would've kept Shaquem instead of letting him walk too. At the very least those two get to play in the same state and it's their home state, too. But for purely football reasons there just wasn't any feasible room for him on the depth chart either at linebacker or as a special teams contributor. As a rookie back in 2018 Seattle started him at weakside linebacker when KJ Wright was out with injury and it did not go very well. He essentially was relegated almost exclusively to special teams duties for the rest of that season.
It wasn't until the 2nd half of 2019, a year in which Seattle had a banged up and very underwhelming pass rush, that Griffin was reinserted into the lineup for situational pass rushing purposes along the defensive line. The high-mark of course was when he and Shaquill teamed up to sack Aaron Rodgers in the playoff game. As soon as the Seahawks traded for Carlos Dunlap midway through 2020 he basically was taken out of the defensive rotation again. He did get his first (and so far only) regular season sack against Sam Darnold and had a few "nearly" moments throughout his limited playing time.
The stats really don't provide much reason for excitement if you're a Dolphins fan — although you'll see flashes of his promise in the All-22. From a human interest side it's hard not to root for him to succeed. Everyone should know by now the inspirational story of Griffin overcoming losing his left hand as a child to star at Central Florida. Unfortunately beyond the physical disability, which I think has been a problem for him at the professional level, he's also very undersized at 6'0" and about 230 lbs. His best attribute is his speed — he ran a 4.38 40-yard dash at the Combine — and in both of his sacks he came off of stunt blitzes. I don't know if Brian Flores intends to blitz as often as he did in 2020 but through two seasons it's fair to say he likes to send extra men on the rush. That's where Griffin could come into play with his skill set. Add in his special teams role and I think (really, more hope) he has a chance to make the 53-man roster as serviceable depth.

Science teachers tackle COVID through social justice lens
Justin Murphy
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
A set of science lessons that examine COVID-19 through a social justice lens is poised to grow in local secondary schools and beyond, thanks to a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation.
The lessons were born last spring in conversation among science educators associated with the Warner School of Education at the University of Rochester — current faculty members as well as alumni teaching in local schools.
The goal was to make the science classroom "a place for understanding the phenomenon that's right outside our doors," said April Luehmann, director of Warner's science education program.
That meant learning the basic biology and chemistry of how viruses spread, infect people and mutate. Just as important, though, the teachers were committed to what they call "justice-centered science teaching," going beyond the traditional textbook standards and using COVID-19 to examine the interaction of science and society with a critical eye.
That means, for instance, considering the causes and effects of racial disparities in COVID-19 infection rates or of the distrust for the medical profession that exists in some communities.
The eight-lesson unit, called "COVID Connects Us," was used to kick off the 2020-21 school year in science classrooms in Rochester, Brighton, East Irondequoit and Naples, Seneca County.
Breanna Eng, a science teacher at Rochester's School of the Arts, had students debate whether social distancing and mask-wearing was necessary. They did contact-tracing exercises and conducted experiments regarding the efficacy of masks.
"They were seeing science happen in the news and in their own lives," Eng said. "It positioned students as the driving force. They were doing research and conducting experiments."
Aiding the students were 25 "medical mentors" from the University of Rochester Medical Center. They consulted regularly with the students to answer questions about their classwork as well as the latest COVID-19 news.
Emphasis on critical reasoning
The $1.5 million grant, spread over three years, will do two main things. First, it will support educators collaborating on teaching the lessons and spreading them to more classrooms. Schools in Greece, Penfield and West Irondequoit have joined on as well as some in the Bronx, Connecticut and Washington state.
More:Racism a 'public health crisis,' black and Latino leaders warn
Second, the educators are taking the expansive, justice-centered approach of the COVID-19 unit and applying it to other areas of science. The goal, Luehmann said, is to end up with a science curriculum that is aligned to the state standards and goes beyond a purely mechanical understanding of scientific processes.
Part of that is a greater emphasis on critical reasoning in science, including assessing the validity of difference sources. In that way, Luehmann said, science classrooms can help combat things like the vaccine misinformation currently rampant in the United States.
"Science doesn't usually happen this fast," she said. "This has allowed us to see it happen, and also question what we could trust. ...
If students know how to critique methods and assumptions, they (can become) engaged learners and community advocates."

Whitepaper: Cracking the code of mental well-being in the new hybrid world of work
Resilience and Mental Well-Being
Every organization is facing the same critical challenge: to engineer new ways to sustain our associates' mental well-being as we shift to a new hybrid world of work. The unplanned and uneasy shift to remote and co-located working that arrived on the back of a once-in-a-century pandemic has asked us all to rethink what collaboration really means and how we work together as teams. Stressors are manifesting in new and unexpected ways. Working practices and working norms are in flux. No job on the org chart has been untouched by the tidal wave of change. It's no coincidence that when stay-at-home orders became the norm in mid March 2020, three out of four prescriptions for anti-anxiety, antidepressant, and anti-insomnia medications were new rather than repeat. Yet for every $1 we invest in supporting mental health in the workplace, there is a $4 payback. As University of Oxford and MIT researchers revealed before the pandemic, there is "a strong positive impact of employee happiness on productivity." Happier associates and healthier organizations make for stronger businesses. In conjunction with Harvard Business School, in 2020 we launched Go Forward To Work, a major research project with more than 2,000 executives crowdsourcing best practices for the future of work. Today, there is no higher priority than cracking the code of mental well-being in the new hybrid work world.
An emerging framework
Our emerging thinking about the fields we need to explore spans:
Team Policies & Practices
Leader Competencies
We need your insight, bold ideas, and experience of what practices you have deployed across each field. Our initial research findings and thinking is outlined below.
1. Team Policies & Practices
Team resilience is similar to a battery, it needs to be restored and recharged regularly, as Keith wrote in this article for Harvard Business Review, 7 Strategies to Build a More Resilient Team.
Candor Breaks: leaders of high-performing teams create psychological safety — the belief that any team member can speak out without consequences — a crucial attribute of resilient teams. Creating Candor Breaks by splitting into smaller groups (using breakout rooms if the meeting is virtual) to encourage frank and honest discussion is proven practice to create psychological safety and encourage team members to share their thoughts and feelings. At Ferrazzi Greenlight, we also refer to these as "Yoda in the room" moments.
Independent Observers: To help team members embrace frank assessments of their work, resilient leaders invite outside experts to offer an objective perspective on issues/team dynamics.
Story Sharing: Leaders of resilient teams often encourage team members to map out their life's journey, including highs and lows, and share highlights with the rest of the team. In being vulnerable, the team creates an environment where compassion and humility are welcomed.
Owning Challenges: Leaders should build trust and honesty by encouraging people to express their fears and concerns with each other and canvass the team for solutions.
Show You Care: By asking questions and listening attentively to answers, leaders have to regularly demonstrate that they are genuinely interested in the progress the team is making.
Energy Checks: Ask everyone to state their energy levels on a scale of one (low) to five (high) at the beginning of every meeting. This simple and fast exercise that will quickly determine if someone needs help or is outside their normal range of fatigue and frustration.
Commit to Building Each Other's Resilience: We call this "Co-elevationⓇ"— a team's commitment to the mission and each other and an unwavering belief in winning together and an agreement to cross the finish line together.
Teams that put in place measures to do that will find that they are better equipped and – more importantly – willing to undertake any challenge throughout the pandemic and beyond.
High Impact Teams in a Hybrid World
It's tempting to see team performance and well-being as separate issues. But factors like psychological safety and the presence (or lack) of candor play decisive roles in the effectiveness and outcomes of any collaboration. Data tracked by the Ferrazzi Greenlight Research Institute since 2000 highlights the difference between high versus low performing teams. High Impact Teams follow a pattern of highly collaborative behaviors that Keith defined in a book released at the peak of the pandemic called, Leading Without Authority. For high-performing teams, the objective is to create a dynamic of constant and unbounded co-creation, one in which interdependent team members share responsibility for crossing the finish line together. They must share accountability for each other's results, and pick each other up when they need help.
But in the new hybrid work world, high performing teams are already adopting new work norms and practices. They have begun to question what was previously unquestionable: why is calling a meeting the universal solution to whatever needs to be accomplished? If you break down the specific problem that needs to be solved, what is uniquely valuable about gathering people together at the same time to solve it? They started to engineer for asynchronous collaboration first—taking pressure out of people's overcrowded schedules, as MarketPlace Morning Report explained in this interview with Keith. High Impact Team were also looking outwards to engage more people to crowdsource ideas both internally across their organization (and externally), but empowering "individuals to give their input where they never were able to before."
You can read the research behind the High Impact Teams in the Hybrid World here.
The connection between working practice, engagement, and well-being was echoed in MITSloan Management Review by Professor Lynda Gratton of London Business School in her idea of two principles of place and two principles of time.
Place Principle: Design the Office for Cooperation
Professor Gratton gave three ideas from global design group Arup:
Reduce small personal spaces and give them back to cooperative space;
Encourage teams to meet in the open so others can feel the buzz;
Move groups every quarter to new seating to encourage meeting new people.
Place Principle: Make Working From Home a Source of Energy
Commit saved commuting time to activities that boost their physical and emotional energy (either time exercising or with family and friends.)
Observe "rituals" that help define boundaries between the work day and home life (how you dress and getting ready for work routine in the morning.)
Being clear with colleagues when they are available and taking breaks, for example, for lunch to help maintain boundaries.
Time Principle: Let Asynchronous Time Boost Focus
Blocking time in a schedule for "deep work": uninterrupted time for concentrated focus on a primary task or major project whether at home or in the office.
Time Principle: Enable Synchronized Time to Be the Basis of Coordination
Making the primary purpose of real-time meetings co-ordination, dialogue and feedback.
The crucial questions these principles and practices raise are about the impact of who we work with, when, and how on our well-being as well as our productivity.
2. Leader Competencies
We all know that sustaining mental health was a major workplace issue before the pandemic. The World Health Organization estimates that depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion each year in lost productivity — and classified burnout as an occupational phenomenon for the first time in 2019. Deloitte's Workplace Burnout Survey found that 77% of US professionals had experienced it to some degree. Experience tells us we need to overcome two root problems: stigma and awareness. Prepandemic research by Unum Group showed:
Only one in four US managers were trained how to refer employees to mental health resources. That's not training to deal with mental health issues—that's just training to signpost to the right resources.
55% of employees said their employer did not have, or they were unsure if their employer had, a specific program, initiative, or policy in place to address mental health.
61% of employees felt there was a social stigma in the workplace towards colleagues with mental health issues.
50% felt stigma has stayed the same or worsened in the previous five years.
The starting point as we strive to overcome old attitudes that hold us back is leadership training. One example is ID360 which has trained and coached teams and individuals at companies including Marriott, Microsoft, and American Airlines, including customized managerial training programs around best behaviors regarding mental wellness in the workplace. Another is Mind Share Partners, which conducted an executive session with Verizon Media's CEO Guru Gowrappan, the executive team, and an extended leadership team just before the pandemic hit in February 2020. On March 24, Gowrappan tweeted about the session: "It was an incredible workshop about how to cultivate and facilitate a culture of openness, honesty and transparency to destigmatize mental health." But of course, all the training in the world won't help if the upper level staff isn't modeling the right kind of behavior. As managers and executives, you also have lots of stress, so how do you handle it? Do you speak openly about your stressors with your team?
3. Routines
Perhaps, as Karen Ellzey, CBRE's Executive Managing Director of Consulting for Global Workplace Solutions, has suggested, we don't need codes of conduct, we need "codes of caring" that reinforce organizational culture. Breaking down those codes into daily routines would bring that caring culture to life. Salesforce is one of a growing number of organizations that build mindfulness practices into their working patterns. One example is using grounding exercises at the start of meetings, to "bring people into the present, make them mindful of our objectives and what we want to achieve and act as a signal to leave things outside the room that we don't need." Gary Foster, Chief Scientific Officer at WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, suggested that wider lessons can be drawn from the behavioral science that underpins the WW program: food, activity, mindset and sleep. "Mindset—the way that you think about the journey and yourself—is the foundation for developing healthy behaviors that can become healthy habits," he said. As Dr Matthias Birk explained in Harvard Business Review, creating a routine for healthy and mindful habits, including meditation, takes self-discipline from the individual—and it's also an area where some organizations are already offering their associates support through in-house programs or signposting to peer communities like Mindful on Wall Street, which draws together executives from Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, DWS, and Goldman Sachs.
Across sectors and organizational scale, what are the routines that best support mental well-being in the new hybrid working world?
4. Resources
Digital technologies have helped put employee assistance programs in associates' pockets through apps, self-care tools, on-demand coaching and personalized services. For example, WW is among the organizations to offer Headspace to its members as part of its effort to offer a more holistic approach to health. Apps like Ginger, Sibly, and Talkspace, provide various types of therapy and coaching on-demand and by appointment, and are part of the benefits package for employees at Pinterest, Stitch Fix, Sephora, Zynga, Cleary Gottlieb, and more. Lyra Health, which is used by Starbucks and eBay, has an even more robust platform, offering a complete mental wellness suite of products, including self-care tools, mental health coaching, evidence-based therapy, medication management, critical incident support, manager training, onsite therapy, and work-life services. Happify Health is currently part of the benefits package at companies including IA, Humana, and Cigna. A digital platform that claims to decrease anxiety and depression and increase resilience by 20%, Happify Health offers its users more than 60 four-week long training tracks targeting various mental health issues.
What other resources best serve well-being for remote and co-located teams?
Our aim is to create a resource site of bold ideas and best practices — drawing on the insight and experiences of the community of peers that we are convening. We believe the site we create from this crowdsourcing will become a valuable resource for every leader. It will be essential reading for any change agent who wants to build team resilience, nurture talent, and create happier, healthier organizations.
We would love to see you raise your hand to join our effort—and hear how your organization is cracking the code of mental well-being in the new hybrid work world.

Short hair seems to be the way forward this year, typical after I've decided to grow my hair out. Bobs look super chic and can be styled however you want. Also the plus is it takes less time to do your hair! I must admit the celebrities I've seen so far, have suited this look. These celebrities include Ashley Olsen, Katy Perry, Rita Ora, Vanessa Hudgens, Lauren Conrad, Taylor Swift and Hayden Panettiere.
Would you go for the chop, or play it safe with a shoulder length do, or will you keep your hair long?

As many of you know, I have a steady monthly gig at B. D. Riley's (6th Street location) on the 1st Wed of the month after their trivia. I play from 9:30pm-11:30pm and always have a great time.


Don't cry for Michael Jackson.
I couldn't care if Michael Jackson was the "King of Pop" or the king of Spain. Talented, he may have been. A sad, sad person so unhappy with himself that he had to carve himself up into a freak… Sure. But to admire him is offensive to all those children who he molested.
The accolades being heaped on him by the famous and the fans does a disservice to all those children yet to be molested by other pedophiles who see in him a kindred spirit.
Sure, he was acquitted but it wasn't his innocence that got him off. It was his money and his fame that "acquitted" him. He paid off the parents of the children, something that those children will live with for the rest of their lives. Shame on him, shame on the parents, and shame on his excusers.
He and OJ will have plenty to talk about when they meet up.

This Landsat image was taken in April of 2001. North is toward the top. Can you identify the heart-shaped, blue-blooded lake at the upper left? Here are a couple of hints.
- It's split in two but not by Cupid.
- It has a saintly name but not Valentine - think chocolate treat without the "e."
- To its west lies a soulful city.
- To its south, this lake is being drained by a river with the same name into a body of water that sounds kind of spooky. The answer is below.
It's Lake St. Clair. This lake forms part of the border between Michigan and Ontario. The St. Clair River flows from Lake Huron (off the image), through Lake St. Clair, and into Lake Erie. Detroit can be seen at the lower left of Lake St. Clair.


Green cleaning – so lots of issues have been mentioned about this option technique of cleaning. To green your life is not all that challenging right here are 7 straightforward guidelines to make getting good green cleaning products simpler. For decades we having been making use of cleaning solutions produced from chemicals and our minds cannot envisage a item that is devoid of chemical substances and one particular that could be as successful if not additional. To assess the more than-all value of the green cleaning solution, you need to also compare the cost and effectiveness of every single. If you are not new to organic cleaning, then you would know very first hand that pure baking soda is 1 of the most well-liked all-natural cleaning items. While all antimicrobial solutions have risks, there are a few varieties that appear safer to human overall health and the atmosphere.
For specialty countertop surfaces, be certain to use the manufacturer's recommended cleaning and disinfecting agents. Women's Voices for the Earth has make-your-own green cleaner recipes and lots of reports about secure cleaning practices. Green clean merchandise work just as nicely as the old fashioned standard chemical goods, but have significantly less effect on the environment and include safer components. Although organic cleaning products can now be bought, this is not an assurance that you can normally end up with a actually efficient and protected solution. Most of the commercially out there cleaning options claim capable of delivering this protection.
Green cleaners that are best for residential cleaning contain hand soaps, natural laundry detergents, fabric softeners, all-purpose cleaners, glass cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners, dish washing liquids, and others. I began on employing all-natural cleaning solutions in my laundry by the time I got some infections and allergies on my hands. It is for this reason that eco certification applications had been developed and are closely followed. If the Green product you are searching at does not incorporate a Green APPROVAL – like GREENER-Choice then it is not Verified Green. Corporations that make use of green cleaning can lead to employee morale, greater efficiency and can reduce absenteeism.
Since of this rigor, Green Seal standards have been recognized and used by the US federal government, lots of state governments, and other crucial entities. Green cleaning assists to increase indoor air high-quality which outcomes in less sick days for tenants and greater rents for landlords. I was impressed but I wondered what a specialist, green cleaning enterprise would feel of the Brightly Green line of non-toxic cleaning items. Green Seal is the U.S. member of GEN which consists of 26 of the world's top eco labeling applications, like Germany's Blue Angel certification plan and the Nordic swan.
Stay away from spending money for an ineffective and unsafe organic cleaning goods by meticulously checking the prospective and components of every single.

There are some research that shown that constructing occupants and visitors experienced lots of irritations and allergies due to chemical sensitivities with the use of chemical merchandise with cleaning. But, in working with the green products it lessens the chemicals that want to be treated.
