Global communication network concept. Social media. Worldwide business. — Companies that are still operating without Covid-19 playbooks need to write them now. And while … [+] they’re at it, they also should be writing their post-Covid playbooks—because, despite the ardent wishes of some leaders, they won’t be doing things in the future the way they were doing them in February 2020.

I’ve participated in dozens of meetings with senior executives in recent months to talk about the future of work (including at my own firm, BCG). I can’t tell you how often I’ve heard something like, “It’s still early. We’re waiting to see how this whole remote thing plays out.” And now with a vaccine on the horizon people are talking again about “going back” to work – implying largely going back to the way it used to be.

It’s all I can do to keep from jumping through the screen, shaking them and screaming, “Wait for it

Lab results don’t explain ‘obesity paradox,’ but bias may — ScienceDaily

[email protected]_84 December 1, 2020

Results of standard laboratory tests performed on adult outpatients to provide an overall picture of their health are fairly consistent between those with obesity and their leaner counterparts, investigators report.

The finding negates one rationale behind what’s called the “obesity paradox,” which is that people with obesity are known to be at increased risk for a host of health problems like diabetes and hypertension, but tend to do better with these conditions than their leaner peers, including when they get admitted to critical care for reasons like heart attack or stroke.

One thought was that patients with obesity end up in intensive care sooner because their laboratory results were already out of line with their thinner peers, and these acute health events push them higher, they report in The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine.

“People who have obesity also have more hypertension, they get more diabetes, they get more

Five Jobs In Tech For Women Who Don’t Want To Code

[email protected]_84 November 30, 2020

By: Dayana Mayfield

If you’re a woman who wants to learn how to code, please do. We need you. But if you don’t want to code, there are still plenty of ways to work in the future-proof tech industry.

Thankfully, there are organizations working hard to change the fact that there’s only one woman software engineer for every five men. Black Girls Code, Women Who Code, Girls Who Code, and many other nonprofit groups are ensuring that more females will enter the fields of computer science, robotics, and software engineering.

Still, there are plenty of women who don’t want to learn to code at the skill level required to make it those professions. Part of the gender gap in tech is due to the fact that many people equate a career in tech with highly technical skills. Women

Don’t Miss The Year’s Last Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

[email protected]_84 November 29, 2020

KEY POINTS

November 2020 sky events will end with a full moon and partial penumbral lunar eclipse
It will be visible in North and South America, Australia and eastern Asia
One of the traditional names for the November full moon is the “Beaver Moon”

The November full moon will rise very early on Monday morning, and this time it will come with the fourth and final penumbral lunar eclipse of the year.

A penumbral lunar eclipse happens when the full moon moves into the penumbral shadow of the Earth, causing it to slightly lose its brightness for several hours. The previous penumbral lunar eclipse this year was the Independence Day Eclipse but, at the time, only about 35% of the moon’s surface was dimmed by the Earth’s penumbra.

This time, some 82% of the moon’s surface will pass through the Earth’s shadow, making it a more detectable event, Universe Today

Don’t worry about side effects: Rigidity is the problem

Simple advice to innovators and policymakers: Don’t worry about collateral needs or they will distort your good growth and policy efforts.

If we look back, the development of the automobile had collateral effects beyond the ability of the auto pioneers to conceive. Yet there were those who would have restricted automobile development because they worried about the collateral effects, including that there wouldn’t be enough gasoline, oil would run out, cars were dangerous and the fuel stations would explode.

The lesson wasn’t that those were minor concerns, but that they were giant and reasonable concerns that didn’t take into account that there would be as much creativity in solving those problems as there was in creating the primary product in the first place.

If the Wright brothers had worried about how we would keep aircraft from colliding with each other,

Don’t Wait for Black Friday to Shop

The traditional Black Friday as we know it is dying.

The chaotic shopping day after Thanksgiving traditionally known for door-buster deals is steadily being replaced by more convenient online shopping events. Think Amazon Prime Day, Cyber Monday, and the like.

“I wouldn’t say Black Friday is dead yet. You do still have some people who still want to get up at 5 a.m. to go bargain hunting,” says Jerry Sheldon, a retail analyst at IHL Group, a Franklin, Tenn.-based advisory firm for the retail and hospitality industries. “But you’re going to see a pretty big dip this year. I think that dip is going to continue,

QR code check-ins now mandatory at all pubs, cafes and restaurants in NSW
Venue must electronically record your details if you don’t have smart phone
Advocacy groups say QR technology is ‘dog’s breakfast’ of privacy concerns

Checking in with a QR code is now a compulsory condition of entry at all at pubs, cafes and restaurants across New South Wales.

The law came into effect on Monday to trace and track the movements of patrons and to get their contact details if a coronavirus-positive person may have been there at the same time.

Before Monday, businesses had the option of signing visitors in the old-fashioned way.

But recording the information on pen and paper proved too ineffective for the state’s contact tracers as the details were sometimes difficult to read and eventually had to

It’s true that the Trump administration pushed for drug makers to rush a vaccine, but this isn’t a ‘Trump vaccine.’

My friend told me to let him know if it killed me. It was June, and I’d just signed up for the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine trial. Over the next two months, I was given two shots, three weeks apart. After the second dose, I was tested for COVID-19 antibodies — the sign of successful vaccination — but never told the result. At a time when treatment options for the coronavirus seemed bleak, my friend was skeptical of the wisdom of receiving an untested inoculation.

I’m happy to report that I’m still alive. And, according to preliminary results recently announced, the vaccine is succeeding well beyond expectations and is 95% effective. We have since learned about Moderna’s vaccine trial success

Weather Service tells Congress radar gaps don’t hurt warning accuracy, but outside scientists disagree

Weather forecasters around the country strive to warn communities in advance of every tornado that touches down, each flash flood that is about to occur and each winter weather event.

One of the most reliable and costly tools at a meteorologist’s disposal for issuing watches and warnings is a network of 159 Doppler radars located across the country that provide detailed views inside storms. Radar helps meteorologists determine precipitation type and intensity, how much rain or snow has fallen, as well as the wind direction and speed at which precipitation is moving within a storm.

Using these radars, forecasters can spot the existence of a tornado by detecting airborne debris lofted by the twister’s circulation. They can track the all important
