Cambridge Regional College student, Lacey

Lacey Russell didn’t always have such a clear idea of what her future may hold, leaving secondary school at 14yrs to join a supported learning programme with @CRC_College to complete her GCSE’s and explore alternative learning opportunities.

It was during this period of change that Lacey was introduced to the Level 1 Catering and Hospitality course and a passion for the service industry was ignited. Lacey completed her Level 1, along with her GCSE’s, and enrolled onto the Level 2 Technical Certificate before progressing to Level 3 Technical Certificate for Professional Chefs to continue her Post-16 education. Recounting her experience of studying at CRC, Lacey said, “It was a rollercoaster, there were ups and downs but generally speaking it was a positive experience. I found it very rewarding and I would highly recommend CRC.”

Describing herself as a practical learner, Lacey believes that the change in the learning environment and approach to teaching is what made the difference in her engagement with education, leading her to achieve such positive outcomes. “It felt like more of a personal learning journey where I was treated as an individual as opposed to one of the year group. Being able to use professional kitchens as a practical way of developing my skills built upon my confidence and supported my progression as a chef. The lecturers were like an extended family, working alongside me, supporting me every step of the way.”

As with so many others, in the early part of 2020, Lacey found herself in the middle of the lockdown situation just as she was preparing to complete her final synoptic, a three-part assessment that includes an eight-hour practical, requiring her to produce six different dishes. In an unexpected change to delivery, the course assessment process was altered to incorporate an increased level of theory to allow learners to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding, something that Lacey hadn’t always found so easy to engage with.

On the flip-side, an unexpected positive outcome of distance learning was the online catering competition between CRC and Lambeth College, London. The live event took place over a video call and followed eight chefs as they competed to produce a pastry dish in their domestic kitchens, using everyday food items. This is a move that Lacey describes as an exciting development in the way catering competitions are hosted, one that will open the way for greater collaboration and shared learning between colleges.

Describing her experience as a chef in a domestic kitchen during the lockdown, Lacey added, “Being a chef isn’t always about the fancy kitchens and utensils, it is about how you use your mind, the processes you follow and the care that you put into your work to make a product.”

Lacey has now completed her Level 3 Diploma and after applying to study on the Concord Chef Development Programme, she received the exciting news that she had been accepted onto the January 2021 intake. The programme will expose Lacey to the frontline of the hospitality and catering industry through paid roles in fully functioning hotels across the country. “I am excited about the future, but also a little nervous. I have always been told the nerves show you care, so I will keep learning and take it one step at a time.”

Anthony Dunball, Chef Tutor added, “Lacey has proved to be a model student, showing great enthusiasm and devotion to her studies. It has been a pleasure and privilege to have been her tutor during the final year of her course”.

FE News also broadcast live events, podcasts with leading experts and thought leaders, webinars, video interviews and Further Education news bulletins so you receive the latest developments in Skills News and across the Apprenticeship, Further Education and Employability sectors.

Every week FE News has over 200 articles and new pieces of content per week. We are a news channel providing the latest Further Education News, giving insight from multiple sources on the latest education policy developments, latest strategies, through to our thought leaders who provide blue sky thinking strategy, best practice and innovation to help look into the future developments for education and the future of work.

In May 2020, FE News had over 120,000 unique visitors according to Google Analytics and over 200 new pieces of news content every week, from thought leadership articles, to the latest education news via written word, podcasts, video to press releases from across the sector.

We thought it would be helpful to explain how we tier our latest education news content and how you can get involved and understand how you can read the latest daily Further Education news and how we structure our FE Week of content:

Main Features

Our main features are exclusive and are thought leadership articles and blue sky thinking with experts writing peer to peer news articles about the future of education and the future of work. The focus is solution led thought leadership, sharing best practice, innovation and emerging strategy. These are often articles about the future of education and the future of work, they often then create future education news articles. We limit our main features to a maximum of 20 per week, as they are often about new concepts and new thought processes. Our main features are also exclusive articles responding to the latest education news, maybe an insight from an expert into a policy announcement or response to an education think tank report or a white paper.

FE Voices

FE Voices was originally set up as a section on FE News to give a voice back to the sector. As we now have over 3,000 newsrooms and contributors, FE Voices are usually thought leadership articles, they don’t necessarily have to be exclusive, but usually are, they are slightly shorter than Main Features. FE Voices can include more mixed media with the Further Education News articles, such as embedded podcasts and videos. Our sector response articles asking for different comments and opinions to education policy announcements or responding to a report of white paper are usually held in the FE Voices section. If we have a live podcast in an evening or a radio show such as SkillsWorldLive radio show, the next morning we place the FE podcast recording in the FE Voices section.

Sector News

In sector news we have a blend of content from Press Releases, education resources, reports, education research, white papers from a range of contributors. We have a lot of positive education news articles from colleges, awarding organisations and Apprenticeship Training Providers, press releases from DfE to Think Tanks giving the overview of a report, through to helpful resources to help you with delivering education strategies to your learners and students.

We have a range of education podcasts on FE News, from hour long full production FE podcasts such as SkillsWorldLive in conjunction with the Federation of Awarding Bodies, to weekly podcasts from experts and thought leaders, providing advice and guidance to leaders. FE News also record podcasts at conferences and events, giving you one on one podcasts with education and skills experts on the latest strategies and developments.

We have over 150 education podcasts on FE News, ranging from EdTech podcasts with experts discussing Education 4.0 and how technology is complimenting and transforming education, to podcasts with experts discussing education research, the future of work, how to develop skills systems for jobs of the future to interviews with the Apprenticeship and Skills Minister.

We record our own exclusive FE News podcasts, work in conjunction with sector partners such as FAB to create weekly podcasts and daily education podcasts, through to working with sector leaders creating exclusive education news podcasts.

Education Video Interviews

FE News have over 700 FE Video interviews and have been recording education video interviews with experts for over 12 years. These are usually vox pop video interviews with experts across education and work, discussing blue sky thinking ideas and views about the future of education and work.

FE News has a free events calendar to check out the latest conferences, webinars and events to keep up to date with the latest education news and strategies.

FE Newsrooms

The FE Newsroom is home to your content if you are a FE News contributor. It also help the audience develop relationship with either you as an individual or your organisation as they can click through and ‘box set’ consume all of your previous thought leadership articles, latest education news press releases, videos and education podcasts.

Do you want to contribute, share your ideas or vision or share a press release?

If you want to write a thought leadership article, share your ideas and vision for the future of education or the future of work, write a press release sharing the latest education news or contribute to a podcast, first of all you need to set up a FE Newsroom login (which is free): once the team have approved your newsroom (all content, newsrooms are all approved by a member of the FE News team- no robots are used in this process!), you can then start adding content (again all articles, videos and podcasts are all approved by the FE News editorial team before they go live on FE News). As all newsrooms and content are approved by the FE News team, there will be a slight delay on the team being able to review and approve content.

“Ten” Crisis Management of Human Resources

In the January newsletter, I wrote an article about the labour market forecast in 2020. It’s like I haven´t written anything… what we are going to be dealing with is really not clear. But I dare to say that companies have already met or will meet massive dismissals in certain areas of layoffs anytime soon, and again after the “calming of the current situation.” In both cases, it will be necessary to recognise well how many employees to keep or how many new ones to employ. What corporate activities to pursue further and which to abandon. The following is a list of activities that should be kept in mind in times of crisis by both HR managers and corporate owners and managers so that the impact on the numbers and quality of workers is minimised.

  • Have a high level of distrust, mindfulness and critical thinking. Be more receptive and truer to yourself and others than ever. Analyze data and information and re-validate it continually. Because what was true yesterday may be different a few hours later in times of crisis. Act fast and take action. If you feel you need to wait for a decision in the light of developments, wait. Be careful about a situation that is undoubtedly serious, but don’t panic.
  • Create a team, a crisis team from managers and leaders. Use your internal certified managers or external crisis experienced managers. The optimal composition of team members is: Team leader / crisis manager, HR manager finance director, production director, legal counsel, PR and marketing. The team needs a clear leader (giving commands, distributing tasks, gathering information, making key decisions, communicating well).
  • But don’t overload efficient and reliable staff. Long-term pressure on “top ones” can cause burnout, disillusionment and a lack of interest in the company’s next fate among the most efficient people, because they feel abused over time. The right approach is to refocus so that the company does what really matters and distributes tasks as evenly as possible.
  • Your “crisis” manager should be a subordinate example so that he does not put his own interest and benefit first. It is necessary to have a mature person, considerate and empathetic in such an oppressive situation. For it is not who is right that matters, but what the truth is. Yes, it’s a very sensitive subject… How many bosses would openly admit the fact that they reached out to the next door when choosing a manager then?
  • Ensure your teams are able to pass on the information and communicate. Simply so that the right-hand knows what the left hand is doing. Recommended channels are: Company intranet, HR info centre, employee infoline, daily current info / bulletin boards / email updates,
  • Give people only true and relevant information. Everyone is frustrated, you’re in the same boat. You’re adults and you don’t need to be reassured. You need a truth on which to build more plans.
  • Take part-tasks for yourself and people and enjoy the part-goals that lead to great goals.
  • Praise the staff and appreciate them. You are probably failing to deliver the plans as you expected in January 2020. Assure your staff that this has not been done because of the crisis, not because of their mistakes.
  • Set up layoffs. Then it is essential to present a plan unequivocally to people. This will prevent internal struggles for jobs, intrigue and distraction from the job itself.
  • In revitalising the business the role of HR is crucial. There is a need to motivate the remaining staff, to quickly overcome the traumas experienced. Valuable employees who left in times of crisis must be replaced.

I wish everyone that the crisis has the least impact on your business and has only a short duration. I also wish she was, in a way, a reason for the change, growth and new developments.

The rural revolution

In the remote agricultural province of Lao Cai in Vietnam a few shared community phones are being replaced with high-speed WiMAX broadband connections and VoIP telephony for thousands of residents. In rural Cambodia, a new 3G/UMTS mobile network is being deployed for delivery of high-bandwidth wireless services, including live streaming of mobile TV channels. In rural India, farmers can monitor crop prices and place orders for goods electronically by visiting broadband 'community centers' that are taking root around the country.

All are examples of a 'rural revolution' enveloping less-developed countries in Asia and around the world, made possible by advanced telecommunications technologies such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 3G. This revolution is bringing high-speed Internet access and next-generation telephony to millions of users who previously had little or no access to even the most basic telecoms services. Local service providers, working in partnership with large multinational telecoms companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Intel, Nokia-Siemens and others, are stretching the boundaries of the telecom grid to encompass even the most distant and remote areas. Often, they are also working with national and regional government officials who view the new services as a way to bolster economic development and empower local citizens.

'There's a big digital divide developing between cities and rural areas in many countries,' explains Nathan Burley, an analyst with Ovum based in Melbourne. 'Governments are becoming aware of this digital divide, and they are trying to connect the unconnected.' At the same time, Burley adds, many operators face customer market saturation in urban areas, so they are pushing out into rural regions to capitalize on new growth opportunities. Large telecoms vendors face much the same challenge as developed markets mature. And there are plenty of places to turn for economic development funds, especially for projects in remote rural regions.

'We are starting to see increases in [rural telecom] deployments,' says Phillip Marshall, VP of enabling technologies for Yankee Group. 'In the lion's share of cases, the primary drivers are political initiatives to bridge the digital divide, municipal and local government initiatives, and support from economic development funds like the World Bank and USTDA (the US Trade and Development Agency).'

Vietnam takes lead

The project in Lao Cai illustrates the trends of joint cooperation between vendors, operators and governments to tap new opportunities for economic development.

Intel Corp., the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Vietnam Data Communications, a local service provider that is part of Vietnam Post and Telecom Group (VNPT), joined together last year to deploy WiMAX in the rural agricultural province of 600,000 comprised of 25 different ethnic groups. Lao Cai is located in a mountainous area of northern Vietnam, abutting the Chinese border. There had been some limited fixed-line telephone service and DSL broadband available within the city of Lao Cai, but even these services disappeared for the bulk of the population when they stepped outside the immediate town borders.

'This is the first WiMAX deployment in Vietnam,' says Bernard Mazer, the project's architect and manager for USAID. 'We wanted to show this was a viable technology. We also wanted to pick a rural spot; Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City already have a telecom infrastructure established. We looked at different areas, but another important factor here is that we have some good, local political support.'

The area is one of Vietnam's poorest regions, with current per capita GDP of $330. The hope is that traditional industries such as agriculture and forestry can use the new telecoms infrastructure to grow their business and perhaps attract more cross-border trade with China. Another hope is to attract foreign investment to the region.

Mazer says the installation has brought both broadband and VoIP service to the area. Technology used includes an Alvarion BreezeMAX base station and some 20 WiMAX fixed-access customer-premises equipment (CPE) devices scattered around the city. The BreezeMAX antenna was installed 70 meters above the ground on a local tower, with the base station connected to a fiber-optic backhaul service.

The VoIP server is hosted from a site in Hanoi. A VoIP gateway and session border controller also were installed in the province. CPEs or WiMAX modems were installed in key spots around the city, such as the local post office, health care centers, secondary schools, hotels and a farm on the town's outskirts. At each site, a SIP-compatible VoIP phone was linked to the CPE unit, providing high-speed broadband and telephone service with minimal cost and complexity.

Mazer says a second-phase WiMAX rollout has just begun in a nearby mountainous area that lacks any fiber backhaul. In that case, the WiMAX base station is being linked to an IPStar satellite backhaul service to provide Internet and VoIP connectivity. The second phase is to be completed in October

The Lao Cai deployment was undertaken as part of USAID'S Last Mile Initiative, a global program launched in 2004 to bring modern communications infrastructure to farmers and small businesses in rural areas that have been bypassed by major telecom networks. Similar programs are also underway in Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Peru, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Macedonia.
Intel has its own rural development effort, the World Ahead Program, a $1 billion, four-year attempt to improve technology access to developing communities. The company has worked with governments in more than 50 countries under the program, which includes a strong WiMAX component. Intel has also established four research and design centers in Shanghai, Mumbai, Cairo and Sao Paolo to help the effort.

The company says it has helped promote more than 250 WiMAX trials worldwide as part of the effort to extend low-cost broadband access to undeveloped areas. Intel supplies the silicon chips used in such WiMAX deployments.

Intel is hardly the only company to actively engage bringing the telecom rural revolution to less-developed areas in an effort to grow local businesses. 'Nokia-Siemens Networks believes that by 2015, there will be five billion people, or 70% of the population, connected via devices that will connect them to other people and to content and to services from the Internet,' says Dick Helmstaedt, strategy manager, broadband access for Nokia-Siemens. 'The developing world is key to that growth.'

Helmstaedt adds that as much as 50% of those newly connected will come from China and India. 'If you think about the innovation, particularly in wireless as many of these areas will deploy wireless networks, it's really quite exciting,' he says. In June Nokia-Siemens struck a deal with India's BSNL to modernize the carrier's network. BSNL began a mass rollout of DSL technology in rural areas earlier this year.

Sleeping giants

India and China may well be the sleeping giants of the rural revolution. 'In major emerging markets like China and India, rural broadband services are virtually non-existent,' notes Marshall of the Yankee Group. 'The business case to date has typically made it extremely challenging for these services to be offered.'

However, Marshall adds that new cost structures are emerging that could enable rural broadband 'in areas where there are already anchor communications services such as mobile. The greatest challenges we see include a lack of available transmission and backhaul capability for economically delivering the broadband services and availability of low-cost devices and premises equipment.'

Rural deployments in China have also been challenging. Ovum estimates that broadband growth is slowing dramatically in the country, challenging operators to find new sources of growth. In a recent report, analyst Kevin Lee noted that the slowdown 'will entrench a digital divide because broadband is approaching maturity in the big cities, while the rural markets remain almost untapped.'

Another complication is that the lack of a clear policy by China for spectrum allocation and use has largely blocked the wireless broadband option. And the research firm adds another barrier is being created by an ongoing conflict between the country's two powerful regulatory agencies. As a result, Ovum suggests carriers expand their networks in smaller cities to maintain their growth in broadband connections.

Such challenges, however, haven't prevented vendors from moving into these markets, especially India. Alcatel-Lucent, for example joined with Indian service provider ITC in 2004 to establish a rural deployment called e-Choupal that involved installing computers with Internet access in rural farming villages. 'Choupal' means 'gathering place' in Hindi, and officials say the service serves as both a social center to exchange information and an e-commerce hub for local farmers.

The aim is to re-engineer the procurement process for soy, tobacco, wheat, shrimp and other crops in rural India. The result, however, also created an efficient, profitable e-commerce platform for IPTV that is also a low-cost fulfillment system for rural agricultural communities. ITC estimates that in its first year, the e-Choupal program saved approximately $280,000 on just a single crop, soya. The program has now expanded to tens of thousands of villages in India.
Paul Ross, director of corporate communications for Alcatel-Lucent's APAC region, says the program exemplifies how the company works with service providers in undeveloped regions of India to establish broadband community centers at locations throughout the country. Each center contains telephones, modems and PCs, and provides communities with voice telephone service, Internet access and links to electronic government, business, educational and agricultural services, including market prices.

'This kind of center is on the rise in different forms,' says Ross, adding that is an example of how vendors and carriers are rolling out new and different services in under-served areas to cope with market saturation in urban regions.

'These are grassroots initiatives. You can definitely see there is a pent-up demand in these rural areas for telecom services,' Ross adds.

Alcatel-Lucent engages in such implementations under its Broadband for All program in 130 countries. Southeast Asia is an especially active region.

According to its annual global broadband user survey released in June, Southeast Asia is emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets for broadband services and offers a largely untapped user base for service providers to grow their businesses. The survey found that broadband is at the early-adopter stage in Southeast Asia, compared to more developed markets like Japan and South Korea.

Those results dovetail with a recent Ovum research showing that broadband penetration of the entire population in countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines is between zero and 3%, compared to 30% in Korea and 21% in Japan.

Like other vendors, Alcatel-Lucent has been active in the region, deploying a GSM/EDGE network for Indonesian service provider Indosat and providing a 3G/UMTS mobile network to CamGSM (Mobitel), a leading service provider in Cambodia. The Cambodia contract will allow integration of video telephony and streaming applications, including live streaming of mobile TV channels, into CamGSM's existing network.

Such advanced telecoms services likely will become much more common in remote regions as the rural revolution takes root during the next few years, potentially transforming the lives of millions of users.

'Internet access and voice communications will be the primary services,' notes Yankee Group's Marshall. 'People in the rural markets will benefit from having availability to information, the ability to communicate, which will have a positive impact on social and economic conditions for these regions.'

Rural areas lead mobile growth

Developing countries account for more than half of mobile subscriber growth worldwide, with the top 10 adding around 285 million new subscribers in 2006 alone.

Mobile growth in emerging markets has accompanied economic expansion, deregulation and the need for communications infrastructure where there is a shortage of fixed-line connections.  With every 10% increase in mobile phone penetration, a nation's GDP increases by an estimated 0.6%.

India and China are far ahead of the pack in terms of numbers of mobile connections: India added more than 73 million new mobile customers last year while China added nearly 68 million. Pakistan is third with 29 million additions.

US girds for rural battle

The US has lagged behind in rural broadband penetration for years, and a variety of technologies such as WiMAX, satellite and even broadband over power lines (BPL) are competing for mind and  market share. But what makes the US battle even more intriguing than most is that the money already exists for deployment. The government has collected a tax for years from every telephone user to subsidize rural telephone needs. The tax now stands at 11.7% and the universal services fund (USF) it supports, controlled by the FCC, now tops $7 billion.

Some US carriers are turning impatient. In June, regional service provider Qwest, which services 14 states in the west, petitioned the FCC to shift $500 million from the fund to support high-speed rural Internet projects. In a media briefing, one Qwest official called the USF program a well-intentioned effort that has gone astray.

Qwest wants state regulators to identify areas that need high-speed access and award grants to low bidders who pledge to build the facilities. The company also wants the FCC to reform collection of the tax from a per-user levy to one per household, which could cut the annual amount collected to $500 million from $1 billion.

It's unlikely there will be any action taken soon. The USF has generated controversy for years, and many wireless carriers are against reducing the subsidy.

Russian rocket launches Murdoch-controlled DirecTV satellite

A Russian rocket sent a telecommunication satellite owned by US-based DirecTV Group into orbit, the Russian space agency, quoted by an Associated Press report said.

DirecTV, based in El Segundo, California, is currently controlled by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

This is the latest successful launch for Russia and its efforts to garner a larger share of the lucrative international market for space launches, the Associated Press report said.

The DirecTV-10 satellite blasted off atop a Proton-M rocket from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Roscosmos said in a statement.

Once operational, the satellite will broadcast high-definition television signals to the US, it said.

The Interfax news agency said the13,000-pound satellite was largest ever launched into space aboard a Proton-M rocket.

Russia has been aggressively trying to expand its presence in the international market for commercial and government satellite and space-industry launches, though its efforts have seen several high-profile failures.

In the past two weeks, a Russian military satellite, a private US-built spacecraft and a German surveillance satellite were all successfully sent into orbit aboard Russian rockets.

In addition to launch facilities at Baikonur and at Plestesk, Russia is working with the European Space Agency to expand a launch pad in French Guiana and increase the payloads Russian rockets will be able to carry.

  • Carrillo is out next, and almost gets small packaged.
  • HIs offense doesn't hit -- shocker.
  • Ricochet gets a good looking Samoan Driver.
  • Zelina makes her way out.
  • I know it seems like I'm picking on Carrillo, but I can't be arsed to care about anything he does.
  • He was supposed to hit the ropes, but turned and waited on Ricochet to clothesline him over instead.
  • Ricochet gets a superplex and a Northern Lights suplex, to no avail.
  • Ricochet lands on his feet on a reverse rana.
  • There's a terribly dangerous looking running Destroyer that sets up the moonsault finish.
  • Andrade comes out and hits a Hammerlock DDT on the concrete. That's it. Carrillo is DED.
  • Rey comes out to help

Rollins and Rey

  • While Carrillo is being stretchered out, Seth Rolllins and AOP come out.
  • Rey attacks and AOP beat him down.
  • This is good continuity with Rollins returning the weapon Mysterio gave Owens.
  • They end up attacking Rey.
  • Rollins challenges Rey to a title match next week. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahah that entire gauntlet match was pointless, my god.

Asuka defeated Deonna Purrazzo

  • Did Deonna Purrazzo get a manager's license? She's an NXT wrestler, with an NXT label on Raw.
  • The brand split does not matter. Purrazzo, who I adore in the ring, got a video package before Humberto.
  • Deonna kicks Asuka before the commercial, and applies an armbar after.
  • Deonna gets out of an ankle lock and hits a reverse STO.
  • Asuka Lock wins it.

Becky Lynch

  • Becky Lynch thought that the company was trying to bury her, but they're trying to protect her.
  • She's the golden goose, and WWE doesn't think she can beat Asuka.
  • I love everything about that Becky Lynch promo. It made sense of the situation, it was good, it added a new wrinkle, it pulled from history. Excellent!

Randy Orton defeated AJ Styles

  • Samoa Joe is STOKED about these leg locks and I'm all for it.
  • The Calf Crusher was held for a while
  • Orton gets his leg worked over big time, then busts out a powerslam.
  • A lot more leg work, then Orton counters a Styles clash and hits his DDT.
  • RKO off a Phenomenal Forearm attempt for the win.
  • This is the first overrun WWE Raw has had since last year.
  • OC and Viking Raiders come out. Magic Killer on Viking Raiders.
  • OC stand tall, because it's all 50/50

Rating guide

10- Perfect, 9- MOTY Territory, 8- Excellent, 7- Great, 6- Good, 5- Average to above average, 4- Slightly below average, 3 or below: Poor

Each match starts at a 5 and slides up and down based on entertainment, execution, time, environment, reaction and stakes. The ratings are in no way an indication of a "star rating," which is a completely different system. A standard, non-offensive "TV match" lands at a 5. The gap between 5.75-6 is generally the largest, with anything reaching 6 being recommended viewing.

These are opinions, and incredibly inconsistent ones that may change upon a second viewing, or sitting on the match for a period of time. Don't take them too seriously, and have (and share) your own!

The growing risk of subletting scams

Ying Tan | Dynamo
4th December 2019
Ying Tan
"This type of technology is making it easier for tenants to unlawfully sublet properties without the knowledge of landlords and letting agents."

Last month I touched upon how technology is both the present and the future of the mortgage market, and how intermediaries operating in the buy-to-let space should be open to learning more about its impact on them and their clients.

Another area I’ve spoken about in recent times is short-term lets and it’s interesting to chart the correlation between technology and this growing area of the buy-to-let marketplace.

Short-term lets are not just a result of the internet, they have been around for many years, but technology is opening the doors for more landlords to consider alternative revenue streams from existing or new properties, generate stronger yields and diversify their portfolios. Much of this is down to the popularity of short-term letting sites, notably Airbnb, and this is a trend which will only continue as more competitors emerge and competition heightens.

For every aspect of the marketing, booking and management processes involved in the short-term letting chain, established and emerging platforms offer a range of tools to meet landlord requirements in a fast, effective and convenient manner. With high volumes of traffic and business being driven to this marketplace, this will attract even greater levels of tech investment. Such investment will result in further digital innovation to provide landlords with a wider captive audience, greater support in regards to property management and more opportunities.

As previously touched upon, yield remains a major consideration for all types of landlords. Returns from holiday and short-term lets have risen over the past few years and it’s now no surprise to see well-maintained properties, in the right locations, producing yields of over 10% per annum. However, as we have seen with the rapid increase of cybercrime across all sectors, the tech revolution also comes with its fair share of challenges. One issue recently highlighted is that this type of technology is making it easier for tenants to unlawfully sublet properties without the knowledge of landlords and letting agents.

So how can landlords combat this issue?

The latest analysis from No Letting Go has revealed that regular property visits can help to protect letting agents and their landlords from the growing risk of subletting scams. According to the data, a professionally compiled inventory and commitment to the check-out process can also help to provide financial cover in the event of property damage.

One recent example, which featured on BBC One's Inside Out programme, saw a managing agent discover a family being checked into a rental property by the existing tenants. Further research uncovered a long-running subletting scam with over 70 reviews of the property left on Airbnb over the course of the tenancy. The tenants were eventually evicted but not before they had cost the landlord a significant amount of stress and money in repairing property damage.

For the vast majority of landlords this will not be an issue, but with technology evolving and subletting scams reported to be on the rise, it’s clear that all landlords need to be fully aware of such practices and be as vigilant as possible to help safeguard themselves from potential problems now and in the future.

Such issues should not detract from how positive an influence technology is and will continue to be. It is undoubtedly empowering more businesses, landlords and intermediaries to reduce their administrative burdens and is providing opportunities to tap into additional revenue streams. Here at Dynamo, for example, we’ve made huge strides this year by adopting new and innovative technology to provide a smoother and more streamlined application process for our clients. Correctly utilising technology’s power remains the key to success, whilst also understanding and combatting its potential flaws.

Traffic Map

If you haven't noticed, I have a new graphical blog traffic map in the right sidebar. It's really neat. This is what it looked like last night:

This represents 280 simultaneous visitors to this site. WOW!

You can get a map like this for your blog by going to http://maps.amung.us

I am a lover of children's literature said...

I seen your map widget and added one to my own little blog a week or so ago, but now, the trick is to get people to visit it and fill it up.

Hmmmm, If I had to live on a dollar for each visit listed on my map I'm going to starve to death soon! But then again, my blog is only a practice blog. Someday, maybe, when I get the time to really think about what I'm doing and and have the time edit it, I will get serious and do a real one?

In the meantime, I always have FiXYOURTHINKING and Tom's Reston's, The Small Wave to read and learn from.

Thanks for your blog... its must 'blog' reading for me.

Anonymous said...

I was on one day and the only other person was flagged up as being in Cupertino!!!
Mr Jobs maybe?....

It's a neat little widget - the idea is similar to the Frappr map from Google http://www.frappr.com/ though no need for your readers to actually register.

So you can actually claim to being read all around the world.

FYT said...

Roget ... the FAQ @ amung.us says that sometimes the "current" reader may not be able to see their selves ... sometimes I see me and sometimes I don't. I always see my best friend on if he's on across town. I can also see my girl friend online in a nearby town.

I am a lover of children's literature said...

http://www.pollhost.com, offers a widget that I would love to see used here on Fixyourthinking, and later on, maybe on my own blog, but I really don't have the traffic to warrant it, not quite yet anyway, even though my blog is slowly beginning to grow.

Pollhost allows blogs and other web sites to include 'instant polls' and works great. I discovered it, by accident, being used on another blog. You create the questions and your readers simply enter their choice. Professional looking and a lot of fun!

Hope to see it here someday, and a little later on my own.

An example taken from a blogger.com blog:

Anonymous said...

The title is a bit misleading - "Current FYT readers" - the map just seems to be a cumulative one....

At this rate the USA is going to sink under the weight of all those red dots....

FYT said...

Roget ... I think the map is currently not working and just showing my weekly peak.

It's not cumulative ... the widget is just pretty popular and pretty new ... I think the server is not responding so the amung.us team is posting cumulative

FYT said...

Roget ... I decided to change it until it's running properly.

There are two modes. Popularity & Normal ... right now the mode default is "Popularity" due to the increased traffic this widget is getting ... a coupla days ago it was on DIGG. I've actually gotten a number of hits from people apparently looking to see it in action on my site.

I don't know what else to attribute a huge surge in my traffic to this site to.

Anonymous said...

"I don't know what else to attribute a huge surge in my traffic to this site to."

Well it's not the free beer and pizza!!! ;o)

I happened to come across a similar graphic on another blog -

Similar idea - not sure if it is more 'efficient'....

I am a lover of children's literature said...

I really like this widget, but I have also found two more interesting blog widgets.

One is clustermaps.com which is basically the same as 'amongus maps' but gives you more detail when you click onto it. It also has even more analytic tools, but for a small price.

The second widget seems to be working for me. It is from 'blogrush' which can be found at:

This widget will drive visitors to your blog by advertising it on other blogs of a similar nature or theme. As you can see from my amongus map widget, I pretty much doubled my visitors on among us maps!)

If you look at my 'blogrush widget' (I have 3 running) you will notice that it contains many other blogs similar to mine. Every time someone clicks on one of the advertised blogs, they go there, and I (or you) will get credit. These credits will get your blog advertised more frequently on thousands of other blogs, the more credits you earn.

However, just don't click any advertised blog on your widget. It will take credit from you. Only other people may click on your widget.

As far as 'amongus' map widget is concerned, yesterday it was undergoing a major 'site update.' I thought, like you, something was wrong, but it wasn't. That is why I added the clustermap widget, but I didn't need it after all!

I really think 'blogrush' could be very profitable, so please use this link if you want to drive more visitors to your own blog (Plus I get a few extra credits, as you will also) :

As of only two blogs that I read every day, almost religiously, Fixyourthinking and The Small Wave, I would like to see advertised on blogrush.... their just so damn good, the more people who read them, the better!

I am a lover of children's literature said...

I believe that the 'amongus' map widget shows the accumulative for the month. Current users locations are 'highlighted' by 'glowing indicators.'

Also, each dot location, when you hover your mouse over it, will show you how many people have visited from that particular location. For example: If you hover over Halifax, Nova Scotia, you will see that 2 visitors have visited.

Just a second or so ago, I noticed that you had new visitors from Britain, 2 from the States, one from Canada (me!) and one active from Joensuu, Finland as indicated by the glowing or pulsating dot.

By the way, I would be quite happy to have just 10% of your hits! lol

I am a lover of children's literature said...

Whoops... I just tried to move my 'amungus map' widget, but some how, through fatigue or just plain stupitiy, I don't know, but I must have pressed the 'delete' instead of 'save' button, because it is now gone and so I had to reinstalled it!

I was thinking, one could always install three map widgets, one for the collective totals; one for weekly and one for the monthly.

Yes, one would have to delete and reinstall both the weekly and the monthy map widget each week and each month respectfully, but you would have a more up-to-the-minute view of your map traffic on a weekly, monthly and collective basis.

Just a thought.

PS. The cluster map widget is slow.. it takes 24 hours or more to update. Not only that, but before I accidentally deleted the better 'amungus' map widget, clustermap only picked up one new location. Amungus picked it up (Spain) and several others such as Atlanta, Ga; Singapore and another in Europe that I can't recall?

    molly I took latin way back in 1976., my teacher was a ww2 vet. I only learnt how to read the year in latin.

    I find it fascinating these days with modern technology what they find. I love watching the documentataries on this stuff. there is so much about the past that we still don't know

    I agree with that as to the past. I took Latin for three years and also count and read a tad but that's about it. WhAt it did mostly for me was expand my English on a broader scale I was interested in medicine and science.. When that gets mentioned today about the language mostly people laugh, shake their heads and ask why.

    There is a very disciplined, ethical and hardworking bunch of folks up your way.

    The leader was a wonderful husband wife team Jim and Nancy Dornan.

    You could do far worse than be associated with that bunch.

    Hmn? Dornan rings a bell. Yes, most of the Amway people I was acquainted with I would regard as y9ou describe and they wholly believed in the quality of the product and the marketing of it as well.

    Yes. 'They' still have zero idea about the moon's

    origin. It is now being stated that there was no BIG BANG. When people cite "science" as undefrlying their beliefs I ask what science and what period? Science come from Latin scio, to know, but today it is cited as fact not fact finding. JMO

    Yore? you need to take a look in my safe... LOL molly... I am a dinosaur... I love wood and steel in guns.

    I think I may have some older than what you have. They were dumping Garands not that long ago for $50. I thought about picking one up at the time. always thinking:crab

    Yore kind of had a nice touch to it with the classics stuff.

    I'm really sorry. I should have said to faced, stabbing asshole. Telling me in private messages that he loves me going on other forums talking all kinds of shit about me. Fuck that butthurt pussy

    Well, I donot know why when we had such a terrific, funny and good group of people why they are one way today and then, bam, out comes the devil???????? What is the point in going around trashing anyone? Maybe off meds or something???:dunno:laughtears

    I used to like him too until he turned out to be a backstabbing asshole to me.

    Really? I missed that apparently and also what Mike said he had put on here. I'm sorry that turned out that way. How Are you?

    Taint was a former poster known as Saint. He was gay, and he wagged his dick at all of us and when he failed in his attempt at shock value he got frustrated and left. He thought he was dealing with a bunch of Nebraska hayseed propane salespeople who were God fearing Bible thumpers instead of the degenerates we all are and he left- he took with him Crystal Meth, who was the latest in the string of whores to visit us.... she set the record for shortest membership duration to show pics of her in her underwear, beating MCKP (or whatever her name was) by two days.

    Lazs ran them both off.

    I like him. I like you too. I am sorry he isn't around. We used to chat at the other place. Say hi to Steph.

Kaine campaigns in Florida's Space Coast

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine urged voters along Florida's Space Coast to take advantage of early voting.

Kaine said at a rally in Melbourne Friday that a Florida win for his running mate, Hillary Clinton, would end Republican Donald Trump's efforts to get enough Electoral College votes.

Kaine spoke in front of hundreds of supporters at a gym at the Florida Institute of Technology, flanked on stage by an American flag and a large sign that said, "VOTE."

A heckler shouting that Clinton's husband "is a rapist" was escorted out to boos from the crowd chanting "Hillary!"

The Democrat says he has visited Florida eight times since being picked as Clinton's running mate.

Kaine joked that Florida's nickname should be changed from "the Sunshine State" to the "Always-Close-Election State."

Early voting ends Saturday in many parts of Florida, but some counties will allow for early voting on Sunday

UF scientists develop backyard mosquito trap

Over the past four years, University Of Florida entomology graduate student Casey Parker has killed millions of mosquitos.

"I love killing mosquitos!" she laughed as she told FOX 13 News about her research.

Parker is part of a team of researchers who developed a promising new mosquito-killing trap. It's a black and red plastic object about the size of a milk carton.

Why black and red?

"Mosquitos find those colors attractive,” explained Dr. Roberto Pereira, a UF research scientist who's spent six years developing the trap.

When placed in a shady place, it attracts female mosquitoes to lay their eggs inside. The device then kills both adult mosquitoes and larvae.

"The important thing here is, there are two pesticides in this formulation," explained Dr. Pereira.

The team invented a special process to coat the inside of the trap with a polymer containing two common insecticides.

The special polymer also allows the trap to last an entire mosquito season in a backyard. Each trap covers around 3,000 square feet. Its developers said it could sell for between $5 and $10 and will allow homeowners to control mosquitoes on their own property, including mosquitoes that could carry the Zika virus.

The University of Florida patented the trap and sold licensing rights to a private company.

"Our original plan was to have this produced and available next year," said Dr. Phil Koehler, who helped develop the trap. "But then with the arrival of Zika, we saw the emergency come about."

UF scientists asked the EPA and Florida Department of Agriculture for emergency approval, but so far it hasn't been granted.

Researchers say the trap is the simplest, safest, and cheapest way to kill backyard mosquitoes.

Dr. Koehler said they're now working with international organizations that could field-test the trap in Honduras.

Ironically, the new mosquito trap, developed in Florida, could be introduced first to consumers outside the U.S.

UF researchers are still hopeful their trap could become an important weapon for Floridians.

Firefighters transferred to August Burn Center; 2 released

Image 1 of 8

One of the six LaGrange firefighters injured while battling a house fire on Labor Day was flown Wednesday to the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta. Three others are still at Grady Memorial Hospital recovering. The remaining two firefighters, who only suffered minor injuries, returned to work Wednesday.

Firefighters Pere Trujillo and Jordan Avera suffered second-degree burns and Jonathan Williamson and Josh Williams sustained third-degree burns. Jim Ormsby and Sean Guerrero suffered minor injuries. One of the firefighters required a skin graft and two others were scheduled for surgery Thursday.

The fire happened Monday around 2:50 a.m. at a home in the 300 block of Revis Street.

Deputy Fire Chief Brant said the fire flashed on the firefighters, creating a dangerous situation with temperatures reaching well about 1,200 degrees inside the home. The chief said it got so hot, fire hose melted, leaving two of the crew trapped inside without water.

Brant said two people were inside the home when the fire started but they were able to get out.

Pictures taken Monday morning of the house show the four exterior walls still standing but the blaze severely damaged the contents of the interior of the house.

The fire chief said this was the worst fire-related injuries he has seen in his 23-year career. He credits their training for all six being alive.

The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation.

Teen ‘Jeopardy!’ champion raises over $200,000 for cancer research in Alex Trebek’s name

“Jeopardy!” teen champion Avi Gupta has raised over $200,000 for cancer research in honor of show host Alex Trebek, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer last year.

In November, Gupta donated $10,000 of his “Jeopardy!” winnings to the Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute. On Thursday, the 18-year-old Columbia University student announced that a social media campaign he started had raised even more money for the institute.

"Thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting pancreatic cancer research through the #InspiredBy campaign!" Gupta tweeted.

“Thank you, Avi and thank you to Dr. Sadik Esener and your team for your continued work to end cancer as we know it.”

Need a job? These Midwest towns will pay you to relocate

An unusual unemployment crisis in the Midwest has reached such unprecedented levels that some counties have resorted to luring in college graduates by offering financial incentives, like free land or partially-paid rent in hopes of filling vacant job openings. That's in large part because the U.S. labor market is at the tightest it’s been in nearly two decades, with the national unemployment rate falling to a 17-year-low of 3.9% in April.

Continue Reading Below

And according to experts, there’s not an idle workforce, or a learning curve in employees who need training in order to advance. There is actually an absence of workers, mostly because young, skilled employees -- generally between the ages 25 and 44 -- are fleeing rural areas in favor of bigger cities en masse.

One of those counties stepping in with perks to help bring a skilled workforce back includes Grant County, Indiana, which is offering recent college graduates $5,000 toward the down payment on a house, or payment on 20% of your rent. Indiana has a jobless rate of 3.4%.

Grant County Economic Growth Council director of communication and marketing Mikayla Marazzi told FOX Business during an interview on Tuesday that she hoped the program would have a trickle-down effect on the local economy.

“This program exists to help our employers thrive, to help them bring in a skilled workforce to meet their needs,” she said.

The lack of available employers has begun to take a toll on local employers, who lament the fact that they can’t expand without a bigger labor pool. At Cafe Valley Bakery, CEO Brian Owens said he hopes to eventually finance a massive expansion to increase production -- but is worried he won’t be able to find workers to work at the bigger bakery.

“We’re bursting at the seams on production,” he said. “We’re ready to spend $15 million on a new state of the art croissant production line, but we’re concerned we won’t be able to find the experienced and skilled folks to operate it.”

Grant County isn’t alone in its plans to entice new, young workers with financials perks.

North Platte, Nebraska began offering prospective employers $10,000 to relocate; Hamilton, Ohio is offering a payment of $5,000 to help with student loans; St. Clair County, Michigan recently raised its student-loan scholarships from $10,000 to $15,000 for students willing to relocate; and Marne, Iowa has a free-lots program that gifts newcomers a free piece of land to build a home on.

Here’s what you need to know about Edmonton’s mandatory mask law

Content of the article

Masks are to be worn in all indoor public spaces in Edmonton starting Saturday in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Here’s a look at what you need to know about the new rule.

What is the law?

Edmonton city councilors passed a bylaw on Wednesday, in a 10-to-3 vote, to make masks mandatory inside publicly accessible spaces until the end of the year. This includes city properties, the transit system and city-managed buildings, as well as private buildings to which the public and vehicle rental services have access. Anyone entering stores, entertainment venues, restaurants, malls, and recreation centers will need to wear a mask.

In order to meet the needs of all residents, a traditional mask is not the only option. City rule requires you to wear a face cover that completely covers your nose, mouth, and chin. This can include bandanas, scarves, fabrics, and non-medical masks, but not face shields.

Kare Plus Home Visit

Why homecare?

The healthcare market is one of the fastest and most consistently growing markets in the world. In our 30 years of operating within the sector, we have seen the marketplace evolve and have seen first hand the changes of how we can provide care and support.

One thing that is apparent as part of this evolution is how care and support has developed and how many can now receive care within their own homes. Receiving such services may have previously meant that you had to remain in a hospital or give up your home to move into a residential or nursing location.

Now healthcare professionals can be engaged to provide you with care that is tailored to your independent needs which is provided in the comfort of your own home. This is because homecare is, in most cases, a more cost-efficient form of receiving care and support services. Homecare has been proven to prolong independence and provide the customer with a greater quality of life and wellbeing.

With National Statistics predicting that the number of over 85s in the UK will grow by 36% between 2015 and 2025. Over the next 50 years, people aged 65 and over will account for over a quarter of the population. This in turn will increase the demand for residential care and care in the home services.

Let us not forget to focus on the wider community base too, such as adults with a learning or physical disability. So long as care can be provided that is safe, effective, caring, well lead and responsive to their needs, there is no reason why support cannot be provided and over the years we are seeing an increase in care and support in this area, now delivered in the local community.

Kare Plus

Industry-leading Support
