English is a global language. It is spoken the world over, with only a few countries not having it as their first language. English and French are the two most spoken languages in the world. Therefore, understanding how to both write and read English is of major advantage to you, since you wont always be around your home town (if you're from a non-English speaking country).
There are a number of opportunities to learn English online. Some of them require that you enroll for their classes as well as having a native speaker show you more about the basics of spoken and written English. If you do choose to learn English through online courses, then you will have the option of working at your own pace and you will also choose where to put more focus on as you progress through the course.
Also, you can come up with your own schedule for learning the course content. This means that you decide when to attend class and what time. It also means that you will have time to attend to your other activities without disrupting your English classes.
Different people learn through different methods, and with online learning, you can choose the method that works the best for you. The cost of learning English is far much cheaper than learning the same course in a conventional school. In essence, online schooling saves on your time, energy, and most importantly, your money.
Normally, the layout of the course progresses from the simpler parts of the language, moving onwards to the harder information. This means that you will inevitably start with the alphabet, and then you move on to basic vocabulary and word formations. At the top level of the course, you be exposed to art and literature in English.

Bigbang Genesis Hybrid (ビッグバンジェネシス・ハイブリッド, Bigguban Jeneshisu Haiburiddo), stylized as Bigbang γenesis Hybrid, is a Defense Type Beyblade that's a part of the Burst System as well as the Gatinko Layer System. As an anime-exclusive Beyblade, it was never released. It's owned by Gwyn Reynolds. It is the evolution of Regalia Genesis Hybrid in the Beyblade Burst Rise anime/manga.

- Like its predecessor Regalia Genesis Hybrid, Bigbang Genesis' name is a combination of the term "big bang", the theory of rapid expansion of matter from a state of extremely high density and temperature that according to current cosmological theories marked the the universe's origin, and "genesis", the origin of life as depicted in the Bible.
- Bigbang Genesis' avatar is an upgrade of Regalia Genesis' with a redesign:
- The body is more humanoid, especially the arms and legs.
- The head shifts into a helmet with a metallic face emerging from the mouth.
- The cyan light features is now magenta.
- The large white wings are reduced in size to shoulder armor and sports gold structures, a red gem on each, and a dark-purple parts,
- The arms are longer.
- The red gem on the chest is smaller.
- Its wings are now crescent-shaped with red and gold parts reminiscent to the Bigbang Armor on the Beyblade.
- The knees have a gold pad on each.
- Like Dead Phoenix 10 Friction, Bigbang Genesis Hybrid is an anime-exclusive Beyblade that can be made in real life with the Bigbang Genesis Layer from the B-157 Bigbang Genesis 0 Yard Metal Booster and the Hybrid Power Core Driver from the B-154 Gatinko Customize Set.

However beware, not all buyers agents are the same. Choosing the wrong Metford buyers agent for your investment residential or commercial property could cost you tens of thousands of dollars!
Questions To Ask A Prospective Buyers Representative In Metford:
Are they a totally certified realty representative?
Be wary of employing someone who does not hold a NSW realty license and hasn't had years of experience in the home market. There are people out there calling themselves a purchasers representative who are not actually licensed estate agents. It can be tempting to work with a specific buyers representative solely based on their fees. If they provided excellent service and real added value to their clients, they would not have to win clients by using low charges. Their reputation and recommendations ought to speak for themselves. Don't risk putting what could be one of the biggest purchases in your life in the hands of someone who hasn't had the years of experience essential to investigate and negotiate on your behalf.
Are They A Member Of The State Real Estate Institute?
This need to offer you the reassurance that they are operating to professional industry standards.
Do they have existing professional indemnity insurance?
If something goes wrong with your property purchase you will have definitely no option if this is not the case.
Are they a dedicated buyers agent?
Ensure they are not just a division of a real estate agency or a one man band working from home or out of a post office box. They can't possibly offer a high standard of service when searching and negotiating for homes for their customers unless they are a dedicated expert focused entirely on this process with no conflicts of interest.
Do They Specialise In The Price Range And Geographic Location You Are Taking A Look At?
If the buyers agent does not have a strong current performance history of buying in the location you are taking a look at acquiring in, we suggest you don't engage their services. Don't be shy to ask for a minimum of 4 recent residential or commercial property purchases in the location you are looking at purchasing in.
Do They Specialise In Home Purchasing Or Property Financial Investment In Metford?
Purchasing investment homes requires particular proficiency and techniques to maximize the capital growth of your residential or commercial property. A lot of buyers agents don't specialise and even understand property investment. If you are an investor, ensure your purchasers representative has experience in buying home financial investments and a proven track record. If you are buying your next house make certain your buyers representative totally understands your requirements and your geographic territory.
Can They Provide A Trusted Group Of Professionals To Help Me Make A More Educated Investment Choice?
Do they have a proven team of solicitors, accountants, residential or commercial property managers, builders and pest inspectors to ensure you buy the right residential or commercial properties and maximize your financial investment returns?
Does Their Buyers Representative Have Access To "Silent Sales"?
Many of the properties we purchase never hit the general public market. It is important that your buyers representative has years of personal relationships with all the real estate agents in the location you are taking a look at acquiring in, so as quickly as residential or commercial properties show up for sale you have access to them prior to they go to the general public. The majority of these properties are offered before they ever get promoted to general public.

BATON ROUGE, La. (KLFY)- Gov. John Bel Edwards is calling for a Louisiana district judge who admittedly used racial slurs to resign.
Jessie LeBlanc, a 23rd judicial district judge in Ascension Parish, publicly apologized earlier this month after her text massages about as a black law clerk were made public.
"The admitted and repeated use of racial slurs by a judge who has taken an oath to administer justice fairly and impartially is wrong, period," Edwards said in a statement Wednesday. "There is never any circumstance or context in which such derogatory and degrading language is okay."
LeBlanc said she was upset over the end of her "extramarital affair with a sheriff's deputy when she sent him text messages including a slur for black people."
The Louisiana Democratic Party and the Baton Rouge NAACP have also called for her resignation. LeBlanc has gone on record saying she plans stay and run for reelection.
"Sadly, inequities still exist in society and in our judicial system. Judge LeBlanc has compromised her ability to preside as a judge, and she has damaged the judiciary," Edwards' statement went on to say. "She should resign. The people of the 23rd Judicial District and our state deserve better."

Fullspectrum diversity or comprehensive diversity can be described as anencompassing approach that entails the inclusion of individuals fromdifferent racial, ethnic and religious groups in the workforce. Thishelps to enhance diverse experiences as well as expertise since eachindividual is recognized and accepted as unique. Organizations with adiverse workforce are capable of producing a greater variety ofproposals and ideas. Thus, managers today promote the full spectrumof diversity, to keep their businesses running and competitive.
Onthe contrary, affirmative action is law-driven program designed topromote equal employment opportunities, eliminate discrimination andenhance fair treatment of all employees. The desired result ofaffirmative action is to change demographics and eliminate employmentbarriers of minority groups in a firm such as women. Additionally,affirmative action is also aimed at achieving accountability ofmanagers and supervisors to make sure that all employees have equalopportunity in the process of hiring, training, promotions and alsoin awards programs. However, affirmative action helps in achievingmore diversity in an organization. For that reason, both affirmativeaction and diversity go hand-in-hand to reinforce gains of having adiverse workforce and effectively management of diversity(Doverspike, Taylor & Arthur, 2006).
Criticsof affirmative action argue that it may lead to some issues that include, management making decisions that are only based on sex andrace. It is argued that affirmative action contravene on the basicrule of sharing out opportunities based on merit. Thus, the programusually compels managers to overlook other highly qualifiedindividual in favor of the minority group. As a result, this mayamplify stigmatization of the minority group who other employeesbelieve that they did not earn their success. Our company is dealingwith this issue by implementing a complementary program toaffirmative action that include testing program where individualsfrom different gender and races are carefully matched to apply forthe same jobs. Therefore, a model based on individual rather thangroup traits like color or race is utilized. Affirmative programshave been well executed to provide equal opportunities to minoritywhile the non-minorities are not excluded (Doverspike, Taylor &Arthur, 2006).
Secondly,opponent of affirmative action argue that the non-beneficiaries ofthis policy may become hostile, angered and also resist this programsince it only benefits certain people and other qualified individualsmay not be employed. This company deals with this issue by having anestablished methods and process that careful examines all hiringdecisions and focused on providing opportunities for all individuals.
2.1how culture construct group identity
Culturalbackground is a significant influence that shapes group identity. Toascertain whether a group identity is shaped by culture, thenconstitutes and characteristics of identity should be well-understoodfirst. Culture is shared beliefs, norms and behaviors. Since humanbeings are social, then belief and behavior are socially acquiredfrom the society they live in. for this reason, people learn tobecome themselves by observing others, imitating their behaviors,trying new patterns of actions and following those they feelpressured to emulate. Furthermore, research show that social supportas well as a sense of belonging heavily impact on the mental andphysical health. The relationship between cultural integration andhealth/mental remain strong all through an individual's lifetime. Agroup's identity is also shaped by history where beliefs and valuesare inherited from a generation to the next. .Finally, culture andgroup identity is not static and individuals are prone to theadaptations of new cultures through interaction.
2.2social concept of race
Accordingto scholars, race is socially constructed using physical traits suchas skin, hair colors and eyes. These visible markers end up becomingreal, thus forming the basis for categorizing people into differentraces. As a result, a racial hierarchy is created and subsequentlyfollowed by unequal distribution of privileges and power.
2.3behavioral and thinking patterns and diversity issues
Adiverse workforce is emerging as a business necessity in today'scompetitive environment. Varying behavioral and thinking patternsadds value to the company since this impacts on how each individualcomplete the assigned tasks. How each employee behaves will foster acollaborative work culture that enable employees to contribute totheir full potential (Mishra, Sarkar & Singh, 2012).
Healthdisparities are differences in opportunities to receive optimalhealth services. The main causes for these disparities in the racialminorities include the role of poverty. Socioeconomic status has ahuge influence on insurance as well as access to mental services inareas where the poverty level is high. In addition, the economicposition determines whether African Americans and other racialminorities will afford health care as well as proper nutrition.Alternatively, other barriers that prevent the minority population toaccess the available health care services for proper treatmentinclude fear of treatment as well as mistrust. The racial and ethnicminorities have different cultural ideas concerning illness andhealth and this stop them from seeking the appropriate services.Health disparities remain a persistent problem despite the improvedoverall health. However, awareness of this unacceptable socialinjustice has grown, and thus, in order to prevent pronouncedconsequences, equity and consistency is required since health caredisparities are costly and may result in significant morbidity anddisability. Therefore, it is significant that all barriers toreceiving healthcare are addressed and this included the cost ofservice, discrimination as well as the fragmented organization of theservices.

SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A man in Suffolk is facing a total 30 charges regarding the sexual assault of a minor.

Faculty of Education lecturer Dr Zelda Barends has implemented a Social Impact project aimed at improving Foundation Phase teaching and learning for both the student teacher and learner.
The "I Can Read – Read to Serve, Serve to Read" project was implemented in February this year, and is another example of how Stellenbosch University (SU) is an engaged teaching and learning hub that supports its students in developing the graduate attributes as set by the University.
According to Barends, the project started as a means to bridge the gap between the world of theory and practice for the student teacher. Through the programme, student teachers provide Home Language support activities focusing on phonics and word building (two of the core components for reading skill development) to learners in certain aftercare facilities in the Greater Stellenbosch community.
Currently 75 Bachelor of Education degree students are participating in the project. Activities include helping learners write a story which would later be published in a workbook for the relevant grade. The programme also adds to the development of the student teachers by preparing them to work with learners from various contexts.
"As a black woman, I had the privilege of going to schools my parents were unable to attend. At those schools, the teachers did not quite understand the issues each learner faced and what their barriers to learning were. Teachers often have a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching," she says.
"Teachers need to be aware of their bias and by engaging with learners early in their teaching careers they learn and consider each learner's context," adds Barends.
Barends says she wants SU's Faculty of Education to deliver teachers who understand and respect their learners, and who are equipped to deal with differences in the classroom.
Barends, who is also the coordinator of the Foundation Phase Bachelor of Education programme, says the project has had a positive impact on both the learners and SU students involved in the project.
"There has been growth in the learners; they write longer descriptive sentences now. In addition to this, even my students know now not to be quick to correct the learners. The students have learnt that just because a learner uses a language differently, it does not mean they are wrong. The students had their 'aha' moments in the classrooms," she says.
"I was pleased to witness the engaged teaching and learning that happened during the sessions. The literature speaks of culturally responsive teachers who are skilled at teaching in cross-cultural/ multicultural settings; that is exactly what we want our students to become," says Barends.

Kurt and Theo are classmates and best friends. In 1956 they are about to finish school in Stalinstadt, in the GDR. On one of their secret excursions to West Berlin to go to the movies, they see disturbing pictures of an uprising in Hungary in the newsreel Wochenschau. The students are impressed by the young Hungarians, who fight for their freedom and they decide to show their solidarity. In class, they hold a minute's silence in honor of the victims. Little do they know how much trouble their seemingly harmless act of solidarity will mean for their future…

Right now I have several projects I'm working on that I keep hopping back and forth between. Variety is good. I've got the "sweater of endless stockinette" that I'm working on (that I can knit on when I'm watching a really interesting show because right now it's just long row upon long row of stockinette.
I have this beaded scarf I showed yesterday – I've made a bit more progress on. I only have to pay attending to the first 8 and last 8 rows where the beads are alternated.
Camp Loopy August project was cast on after midnight on 8-1-20 since I was still awake and knitting into the week hours. I'm calling my version Pink Sky at Night but the actual The Sky at Night pattern by Lisa Hannes
Compared to all the fingering weight projects I'm working on, this worsted weight one on size 9 needles is moving along rapidly. I love heavier yarn shawls with a bit of lace and this one gets a great wide lacy edge.
In addition to using larger needles, I will be using more yardage than the pattern calls for since August Camp Loopy requires a project of 800 yards or more but this is an easy project to enlarge to make the most of the yarn you have.
Lastly (at least at the moment), I started another dishcloth out of some new Cascade Ultra Pima Fine. This is super easy knitting.
And it will qualify for a year long KAL of different stitches I'm doing, plus some other badges for the ESK Yarnathon. There's a badge for placing an order on your birthday so last week I did so – I'm now 60 – so a coworker friend has been teasing me about "how much older I am than she is" — of course she turns 60 this month. LOL Anyway, I ordered more Cascade Pima Cotton Ultra to make more dishcloths, finish some coaster sets I'm working on, and see if this yarn can work for potholders (making it double layered.
Here's all the pretty colors in my birthday order.

Ask the expert: Training for an electronic MSDS system
Q: We use an electronic MSDS access system. Are there any special training requirements we need to know about?
A: The most important training requirement beyond those listed in the standard would be teaching staff members how to use the electronic system to access the required information (how to launch the program, any login requirements (e.g. a password), how to navigate the system to find the desired document, etc.) According to OSHA Hazard Communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), MSDSs must be "readily available," so I wouldn't be surprised if an OSHA inspector asked one of your staff members to demonstrate the use of the system. Another aspect you'll need to include is how to get an MSDS in the event of an electronic system failure, such as a power outage. Is there a backup generator to power computers on the system? Is the information available by phone? Are there (current) paper copies of the MSDSs somewhere in the office?
*This is an excerpt from The OSHA Training Handbook for Healthcare Facilities by Sarah E. Alholm, MAS.
While we train employees how to use the electronic MSDS, we also have a small wall poster posted in the work area that goes over how to get an MSDS. It lists how to use the electronic (web) system and also how to call for a faxed/e-mailed MSDS.
I have found if the employee is asked by an inspector and they go to the wall card and say "I follow the instructions posted here" that it normally is sufficient.
How can my facility get an electronic msds? Sometimes it's extremely hard finding a new drug's data sheet.
Is there a program I can install on my computer?
Hello Carrie, managing editor Will Kilburn here.
In terms of getting the MSDS themselves, your manufacturer is required to provide them, and you should be able to get them from their Web site; I say "should" because some Web sites are easier to work with than others.
If they don't post the MSDS on their Web sites, you can email or call and have them send the sheets to you in an email or as a fax. Generally these days the electronic MSDS are PDF files, which you can view and print on any computer with the free Acrobat reader.
In terms of managing the files on your computer, yes, there are solutions for that, but unfortunately I can't make specific product recommendations here. But, as with most anything else you might buy these days, a quick check on the Web should give you a pretty good idea what programs are out there and whether people like using them.
do my research paper
For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

Something went wrong.
President Donald Trump is on a state visit to the United Kingdom and has been going through the routine attached to any such visits. However, President Trump being who he is, there is no dearth of controversies over some of his statements. There has already been a certain unpleasantness created over his tweets on the Mayor of London and his refusal to meet with Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader. He added to these by mentioning in one of his meetings that the National Health Service (NHS) will also figure in the comprehensive trade discussions that are going to be held soon. He seemed to make amends later saying he was referring to trade and NHS may not strictly fall into the definition of 'trade'.
Trump on Brexit and the Deal with EU
True to his style, the US President had a lot to say on the issue that has rocked the United Kingdom for the past few weeks, Brexit. He made a comment that if he had a say, he would have sued the EU over the deal that is at the centre of all the political turmoil the island nation is going through. He appears to have advised the PM, Teresa May to go the legal route. The PM acknowledged as much, in her speech, but since she will not be in the scene come June 7, she could not say more. She felt the negotiated settlement was good enough and whoever succeeds her will be able to carry it forward; however, President Trump did praise PM May a lot.
Unnecessary Confusion on the NHS
President Trump had to face some questions on the trade deal between the USA and the UK. He responsed by saying that once the Brexit issue is out of the way and the UK is free from those obligations, a deal will be brokered between two of the oldest and strongest allies and trade partners. However, he mentioned that the NHS would also be part of the trade negotiations. The UK, for the most part, does not support the NHS being included in any negotiations on trade. Probably, the President's advisers must have briefed him as he corrected his stand in a later television interview.
President Donald Trump used this occasion to interact with some of the possible contenders for the post of British PM after Prime Minister May leaves office on June 7, either personally or over the telephone. He did however mention that he did not know Michael Gove, the Conservative Party leader.
The POTUS and the First Lady leave for Ireland next.

It's Up to You
- The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path
— by Dzigar Kongtrul
On the spiritual path we speak of enlightenment. But how do we reconcile the idea of enlightenment with what we see when we look in the mirror - when insecurities, doubts, and self-centered tendencies arise in our minds? Dzigar Kongtrül suggests that we need not feel 'doomed' when these experiences surface. In fact, such experiences are not a problem if we are able to simply let them arise without judging them or investing them with so much meaning. This approach to experience is what Kongtrül calls self-reflection.
Self-reflection is a practice, a path, and an attitude. It is the spirit of taking an interest in that which we usually try to push away. When we practice self-reflection we take liberation into our own hands and accept the challenge and personal empowerment in Kongtrül's title: it's up to you.
Dzigar Kongtrül grew up in a monastic environment and received extensive training in all aspects of Buddhist doctrine. In 1989, he moved to the United States with his family and in 1990, he began a five-year tenure as a professor of Buddhist philosophy at Naropa University. He also founded Mangala Shri Bhuti, his own teaching organization, during this period. He has established a mountain retreat center, Longchen Jigme Samten Ling, in southern Colorado. When not guiding students in long-term retreats and not in retreat himself, Rinpoche travels widely throughout the world teaching and furthering his own education.
It's Up to You is an enthralling and practical book that speaks to us all with an exceptional clarity about confusion, uncertainty, and fear, about fearlessness and courage, and about awareness, joy, sanity, and freedom.

Hi everyone! Meet the Burkhardt family! Such a fun family! For the location, they wanted a park like setting mixed with old architecture, so we decided on beautiful Presido Park in Old Town. I also took some senior portraits of their son that day. The family also has this tradition where they take these "wide mouth" type shots and put them on their cell phones and on facebook. The one boy is always in the background. So they asked me to incorporate a few of these types of images in their portrait session. It is hilarious!
Here are just some of my favorites from their photo session. Enjoy!

Sabine Lisicki has expressed her delight in reaching her first Wimbledon final following a 'battling' victory over Agnieszka Radwanska.
The German, who knocked top seed Serena Williams out of the tournament, managed to see off the Polish pro 6-4 2-6 9-7 at SW19 to set up the final against Marion Bartoli.
"It's unbelievable," Lisicki told BBC Sport. "The last few games were so exciting. We were fighting, Agnieszka played so well throughout the match.
"It was a battle. I'm so happy to have won that. I fought with all my heart and believed I could still win no matter what the score was."
Meanwhile, the men's semi-finals are scheduled for tomorrow, with Andy Murray due up against Jerzy Janowicz, and Novak Djokovic due to play Juan Martin del Potro.

Preparing for 5G Network - Updated
5G will be super super fast and we are ready
Think the 20-60Mb speeds of 4G are already pretty quick? How does 200-250Mb sound? Typical 5G speeds are ten times faster than 4G right from day one. Find the perfect conditions and it can go way beyond even that anyway, our Smart LTE Routers are adapted to have 5G once it becomes available.
What do the faster speeds mean? It'll improve everything you do online, from simple browsing to sharing huge files, it'll deliver instantaneous app downloads, and even allow you to watch Netflix in 4K with your date with none of the awkwardness of the loading screen.
So when will you be able to use 5G? It's available right now in major cities like London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. By the end of the year it'll be available in over 30 locations, from Bournemouth to Birkenhead, and then in over 50 places by the end of next year. Different networks will target different places, so you might need to switch.
But the rollout will take some time. Even areas that do have 5G won't have blanket coverage, and if you're in smaller town it might be two or three years before 5G arrives.
All of the big mobile network providers are hoping to have full coverage of the big cities and towns around the UK by the end of 2020.
As our systems are LTE (Long Term Evolution) this means they will automatically switch to 5G when it is available in your area.

How did you first get into painting?
How has the process evolved over the past 10 years?
When we started off painting them, the prints were already on the plates. As we began to get more orders, we switched to a type of tissue paper to transfer the prints and then I do remember when we switched over to the transfer paper. We started with maybe 10 a month, we would get them here or there. And now I'm up to 25 – 30 plates a week.
What choices do parents have when it comes to customizing their plate?
They get to choose between 3 designs – a solid rim, a striped rim or a polka dot rim. and then we have probably 12- 15 different colors they can choose from. If they pick solid, they pick one – if they pick stripe or polka dot they can pick two different colors.
What do you think about while you paint?
Honestly, when I am painting them, the easiest thing is to not think about what I am painting. Because if I do, it does get kind of emotionally difficult to handle. So, in the process of painting, I'm thinking colors and lines and stripes. It's usually when I put the names on that I start to think about the family and the baby. I just think about how difficult it must be for those families to name a child and then not get to live the life they expected with that child. So, that's probably the hardest part – putting the names on. So, honestly the easiest thing for me to do is kind of detach and think about other things.
How many plates do you think you have painted over the last 10 years?
I have not even considered that calculation. It's probably been close to 1000 – 800 or something like that. I could probably do the math but it would take a minute.
Why do you enjoy painting for Mamie's?
I just love this company. I love working for Mamie's Poppy Plates. It's just such a peaceful environment. As a believer, it's wonderful to work for fellow believers and amongst fellow believers. I think it provides a comfortable and humble community to be around. So, I am really grateful to be a part of it.

7 Ways to Keep Your Employees Safe, Engaged, and Reassured in the Time of Coronavirus
Twin Cities employers have been dealing with an extraordinarily tight labor market for several years now. Attracting – and retaining – top talent was a challenge before the coronavirus (COVID-19) made its way to the United States.
Today, as news of the virus spreads, there are growing concerns about COVID-19 and its potential to interrupt the critical business activities that fuel the Minnesota economy. Fortunately, this is not our first rodeo. Minnesotans have fought flu epidemics in the past and we have every reason to be confident in our ability to handle this virus, too. To help, we've compiled this list of best practices, tips, and common sense reminders for business leaders, hiring managers, employees, and candidates.
1. Communicate: Show Employees and Candidates that You're Aware and You Care
Convey a calm, reassuring, non-dramatic attitude while resisting the urge to shrug off or trivialize people's worries. If you haven't already, craft a brief, company-wide message that reassures employees and candidates that you're informed and prepared to take the right steps at the right times to protect your team. Internal communications should include your workplace guidelines and preventive practices (including everything from Step 2, below), employee travel decisions, even visitor protocols. It should also include a quick promise on how (and how often) you'll keep everyone updated. Be sure to check the CDC and State of Minnesota websites every day for the latest updates. You might also want to check out the new site that University of Minnesota has created especially for employers.
2. Adjust Interviewing and Onboarding Practices
You may not need to postpone or cancel in-person interviews now. But if you're not experienced with virtual interviews, now's the time to get comfortable with them. If you're recruiting candidates from out of state, it gets more complicated. New hires coming to you from unaffected areas, Explore the possibilities of having your new hire start working from home. If it's not, you may Create specific expectations for how interview travel and re-location timing will work.
3. Keep it Clean: Make These Small But Important Workplace Changes Now
- Promote Hand Washing
Proper hand washing is one of the most powerful ways of preventing many illnesses, including the coronavirus. Keep all sinks well stocked with soap dispensers. Post or distribute reminders of the simple rule we all learned in Kindergarten: wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds (which is just as long as it takes to sing the A-B-C song). Let's be honest, we should be mindful about hand washing even when there is not a virus epidemic.
- Install Sanitation Stations
If it's in the budget, install free-standing or wall-mounted hand sanitizer dispensers in multiple locations, especially at doorways. You could also distribute individual desktop bottles to all employees. Just make sure that all products contain 60% - 90% alcohol.
- Disinfect Surfaces Frequently
Make it easy for employees to disinfect desks, laptops, phones, staplers, etc. often by providing disinfecting wipes and encouraging everyone to use them.
- Alternatives to Hand Shaking
A smile, a wave, maybe a brief explanation or an elbow bump… These are now the polite ways to greet people, congratulate them, or say good-bye. Even though handshakes might seem more personable, right now, keeping your distance is the kindest way to let people know, "I care about your well being."
- Be Aware of How Much We Touch Our Own Faces
Did you know that the average person touches their face three or more times an hour? Well, that's what we do. That alone wouldn't be such a problem except that, every hour, we're also – by necessity – touching multiple shared objects (door knobs, printers, etc.). Put it all together and we're inadvertently creating a high-speed traffic route for more than a few illnesses to spread, not just COVID-19. Be mindful of such natural habits and commit to hand washing and wiping down surfaces, or even touching your face less if you can help it.
- Cough into Your Elbow or a Tissue, Not Your Hand
Then immediately throw that tissue in the trash, and squire some hand sanitizer into your paws.
4. Ask Sick Employees To Stay Home
That seems like an obvious one. But if your company culture has been one that rewards the warriors who show up no matter how awful they feel, state your new expectations in unequivocal terms. If you need to adjust your PTO or sick leave policies, do so as needed.
5. Prepare for Times When Employees May Need to Work From Home
If you're not familiar with Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts – or any of the many other video conferencing solutions available today, it's time to get familiar and set guidelines for your team. There may well come a day when you have team members that may have been exposed to the virus but are not sick. These individuals need to have the tools and knowledge – and your support – to work from home. Now is the time to ensure that all team members have the necessary equipment and training to attend meetings via video conference.
At SkyWater, we have a dedicated Zoom Room in our office to accommodate remote meetings. If you've been thinking about choosing a video conferencing platform, now might be the time to check out Zoom.
6. Role Model Care, Calm, Honesty, and Flexibility
These are the attributes you need from your team so inspire them by walking the talk. You can't possibly know everything there is to know about COVID-19, nor can you perfectly predict how things will unfold. But you can commit to staying informed and communicating transparently.
7. Update Your Continuity Plan
Make sure you have an up-to-date plan in place for how you'll keep your business functioning in the event of large-scale illnesses or absences. This will be your team's roadmap, outlining the steps necessary to keep business disruptions minimal. In it, identify the roles that are critical to short-term (and maybe even longer term) operations. Which decision-maker roles are indispensable? What about front line production? If mission-critical incumbents were to be out for an extended period of time, identify who on your staff is capable of providing back-up and make sure they're cross-trained and ready to step in.

Patient education company WelVU raised $1.25 million from a group of angel investors last week.
CEO Mark Friess told MobiHealthNews the company's basic WelVU app has seen 3,000 downloads from providers after a few months in the iTunes store. This year, the company launched two new products -- a WelVU Plus app and WelVU Premium app.
WelVU's basic app for iPads and iPhones helps physicians create personalized health information videos for patients complete with medical illustrations, images, and conversation topics based on conversations that providers have with their patients. The personalized videos are sent to the patient through a secure platform, but physicians can post general topic videos to their YouTube channel or website.
With the app, physicians can find anatomical and physiological images for educational presentations and add their own images, content, and videos to a presentation. WelVU Plus allows physicians to prescribe these videos or have their staff prescribe these videos to patients and WelVU Premium allows physicians to integrate the app with electronic medical records and bring in patient-specific information, such as the patient's X-Rays and blood pressure readings. So far WelVU has integrated with electronic medical record maker InterSystems. Up until recently the company charged $19.99 per month for monthly licenses and $199.99 per year for annual licenses.
WelVU adjusts the price of the app for the different versions, but the pricing system is also based on how many physicians are using the technology from a specific organization each year. For hospitals, the pricing is based on a per-bed system. Physicians will be able to license the app on a month to month or annual basis and the annual license will represent 10 months worth of a monthly license.
The company also currently offers two other apps, CardioVU and OrthoVU, which focus on cardiology and orthopedics patient education. Friess said these apps were part of an early approach and plans to phase them out and offer specialties to all doctors.
WelVU recently changed the pricing system so physicians could prescribe an unlimited number of videos to patients. For the more advanced platforms, physicians can also add their own recording and voice overs to the videos. Moving forward, the company plans to build out a content library, build out the suite of apps, and launch apps for Android too.
Jiff offered a similar product, JiffPad, in 2012, but discontinued it and pivoted the year after. At the time Jiff CEO Derek Newell explained to MobiHealthNews that JiffPad "was downloaded by thousands of people and used regularly by them. But JiffPad, while an interesting product, was never going to transfer to a big opportunity."

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have had to endure a lot ever since their relationship began. From the Twitter exchange with Safaree, to the ongoing beef between Drake and Mill, they have had to stick together. But still, there is the question of fans who have not hesitated chiming in on their relationship, with the most vocalized concern being that Meek is not good for Nicki. In all fairness, this is a view that is not mainly based on any tangible facts, but largely driven by fan-celebrity affiliation.
Safaree Samuels, who is Nicki's ex, has been seen by some to be better than Mill because he had less drama. However, Safaree Samuels is currently said to be preparing to file a lawsuit against Nicki to get his cut of the profits from her songs after having contributed to the success of her three best selling albums, which include Pink Print and Pink Friday. Safaree Samuels also wants a fraction of the profits generated by Nicki's most successful singles "Only," which featured Lil Wayne, Drake and Chris Brown, "Flawless (Remix)," and "Feeling Myself."
Apparently, Safaree has assembled tons of proof as evidence of his involvement in the creation of the songs and albums, and includes footage of him spending hours at the studio with Nicki, audio from recording sessions, and witnesses to verify all this. According to TMZ, Safaree has cited the executive producer credit he received from two of her initial albums says it all.
Looking back, Nicki Minaj's relationship with Safaree Samuels began even before she became a mainstream entertainer, after she joined The Hoodstars around 2004. The rap group was composed of Safaree Samuels, Lou$tar and 7even Up. However, she soon left the group and signed onto Dirty Money Entertainment, a music label owned by Fendi CEO.
In the tabloids, it was speculated that Safaree and Nicki began seeing each other in 2011, but according to Samuels, who recently spoke to On Stage about their relationship, they began dating just after he and his colleagues formed the Hoodstars rap group. He soon became her hype man when she went mainstream. He also talked about the main problem about the fame that came with the success. The following was his statement as reported by Urban Islandz.
"There are phases in it, you know when you just got with someone in the beginning, it's the honeymoon… I am not going to lie, for the most part it was a great relationship, but then when all of this gets into play it's a complete different beast when you turn into a mega superstar, when you kind of have to be in superstar mode all of the time, you kind of can loose being like a regular person"
Safaree Samuels also said that he was the one who made the decision to walk out of the relationship saying, "Towards the end I just felt like things change too much, I felt like it was the best thing for me to walk away from the situation because you ever seen that thing where it says sometimes it hurts more to hold on to something rather than just letting it go".
Safaree also spoke about his recent diss track aimed at Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj, and said the reason why he did it was because he didn't want to continue enduring the slander, and that it was his way of pushing back. The following was Safaree Samuels' statement.
"I was keeping my cool so what I put out it was just something to let it be known that I am not going to sit quiet anymore, so if another thing to slander me would have been done then my next move would have been explosive"

Venezuelan banks have been ordered to use the petro, the Maduro government-launched cryptocurrency, as a unit of account.
Wire services AFP reported Tuesday that "all financial information" must be denominated in both the bolivar – Venezuela's official currency – as well as the petro, which was controversially unveiled in December. Maduro's government has claimed, without evidence, to have raised billions of dollars during a presale earlier this year, despite pushback from opposition leaders in the country as well as international critics, including the U.S. government.
Indeed, in March, U.S. president Donald Trump approved new sanctions against Venezuela that specifically targeted the petro.
The development is the latest mandate to come out of the Maduro government related to the petro. It was previously announced that the state-owned oil and gas company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), will begin using the petro as a unit of account, and officials have also ordered that government-funded pensions and salaries be anchored to the cryptocurrencies.
The latest news also comes on the heels of a United Nations report stating that since 2014, 2.3 million people have fled Venezuela amid the country's economic crisis.

Three Key Steps to Empowering Women in Global Value Chains
Global value chains can be a powerful lever for empowering women, but companies must identify where women work, must develop a clear gender strategy and must articulate the business case for supporting women.
As the UN High Level Panel on Women's Economic Empowerment continues to develop its thinking over the next few months, they should be thinking seriously about the role that global value chains can play in empowering women. This was an important theme in the recent online discussion which forms part of the CARE/DFID/Diageo/Business Fights Poverty Challenge. This blog highlights some of the key points made by the many contributors to that discussion.
The world increasingly works through Global Value Chains, which link firms across all stages of production, distribution and retail. OECD, WTO and UNCTAD estimate that approximately 70% of world tradenow passes through Global Value Chains, in which women play key roles in many segments. Global Value Chains therefore can be a powerful lever for change and companies which play key roles, such as retailers and brand owners in the global north, must look closely at how the value chain engages with women, to ensure women's rights are respected, to optimise the broader development benefits which come with investment in women, but also to pursue the clear business benefits which progressive organisations are beginning to achieve.
The first step then is to actually understand where women are in the value chain and what role they are playing. A growing number of businesses are working to further gender equality in their value chains, but gender sensitive value chain analysis is not yet part of mainstream analytical thinking on agriculture. However, it is key to the future of many commodities to overcome the shocking underrepresentation of women in those who have access to extension services, inputs and finance. This lack of access by women to key enablers weakens the entire value chain.
Secondly, enabling poor people to successfully participate in value chains requires a systemic approach that addresses the range of obstacles holding them back. This is particularly true for empowering women since many of the obstacles may sit outside the immediate workplace. For instance, in cocoa female farmers have levels of income and productivity 25-30% below those of male counterparts. Major sources of these gaps in outcomes are also clear: compared with male cocoa farmers, female farmers are 25% less likely to have received training in the past year, they are 20% less likely to have received a loan in the past year, almost 40% less likely to have a bank account, and they are 30-40% less likely than men to have used crucial farm inputs such as fertilizer.[1] Many of these differences are related to the view that men are farmers, since they often have the legal ownership of the land, but the reality is that many of the key roles in the cocoa processing are actually done by women. So any company endeavouring to change this situation needs to be willing to engage in detail with communities, but also with input suppliers, cooperatives and government. The development of Women's Extension Volunteers in Ghana has helped to promote good agricultural practice, and also to promote community mobilisation and informal financial inclusion. Such innovation is key: overcoming the age old barriers that women face requires something new.
Third, this requirement to think broadly about how to empower women then reinforces the need to have a robust business case: the necessary long term investments will only be maintained if stakeholders in the business can see some benefits. Targeting training and inputs correctly at the women who play a key role in production can significantly improve productivity and quality. And there are likely to be benefits in sustainability of supply through making agriculture a more attractive option for women and younger people. And increasingly, a company's engagement with gender in its value chain will play a role in that company's licence to operate.
The development benefits
As well as being key to women realising their rights, women's economic empowerment has been shown to trigger a host of other positive changes. Women's control of productive resources leading to increased income, improved self-reliance and a greater say in family and community decision making, increases investment in children's education, health and nutrition. Women often have greater concern for the social viability of their communities, so women's economic empowerment can be a key factor in helping communities to thrive.
Supporting gender equality and women's empowerment not only helps women to better support their families and contribute to the development of their communities, but ultimately secures the future supply of agricultural products (like cocoa) by improving its productivity and quality. Business leaders need to appreciate that everybody wins when you invest in women.

Blog Series: Challenge on Women's Economic Empowerment Challenge
As part of the Business Fights Poverty / CARE Challenge on Women's Economic Empowerment, we ran two online discussions during May to discuss how companies can support women's empowerment in four specific areas: value chains; internal policies and practices; external marketing and customer and engagement; and addressing structural barriers. This blog series will deal with each of these topics, extracting key messages from the online discussion and adding observations from the writer's own perspective and experience.
