How Telecommuting Works
Telecommuting, which is growing in popularity, allows
employees to avoid long commutes.
“Brring,” the alarm startles you out of a deep sleep. It’s
8 a.m. on Monday morning. Time to head to the office.
You roll out of bed, brush your teeth and stumble your
way to the kitchen to grab some coffee.
Moments later, you head to the office, still wearing
your pajamas and fluffy slippers. Luckily for you, you
don’t have to go far – you work at home.
Telecommuting, or working at home, has grown in
popularity over the last 20 years.
On an increasing basis, workers are saying “no” to
long commutes and opting to work at home. In fact,
the U.S. Census Bureau reports that the number of
employees working from home grew by 23 percent
from 1990 to 2000.
Telecommuting workers revel in making their own
schedule – allowing them to schedule work around
family and personal commitments. With the ready
availability of technology tools, like the Internet and
home computers, companies are more willing to let
employees work from home.

Microsoft’s Project Natick brings data centers underwater
Jordan Novet January 31, 2016 9:11 PM
Microsoft today unveiled Project Natick, a fascinating research
initiative that could bring cloud computing infrastructure closer to
big cities near large bodies of water — by putting data centers
underwater
Microsoft isn‘t running any web services, like Office 365, through
the data center infrastructure inside of these capsules. But
Microsoft did build one (named the Leona Philpot, after the Halo
character) and set it 30 feet underwater off of the California coast
for four months in 2015. The capsules could have their computing
hardware replaced every five years, but eventually they could well
be kept underwater, without people onsite, for 20 years or more.
And they could be powered by renewable energy, too.
"Project Natick reflects Microsoft‘s ongoing quest for cloud
datacenter solutions that offer rapid provisioning, lower costs,
high responsiveness, and are more environmentally sustainable,‖
Microsoft explained on the website for the project.
It‘s an unusual and forward-looking way for a company at
Microsoft‘s scale — or any scale, really — to operate its core data
center infrastructure. It‘s reminiscent of the Google barge that
some people suspected had been intended to house data center
hardware. (Other reports suggested it could be used for retail
purposes.) But that project has been forgotten. Major web
companies like Google and Facebook are now focusing on using
aircraft to deliver the Internet to people, which has taken up some
of the spotlight on research into new or better ways to deliver services. But the servers, storage, and networking equipment
have got to live somewhere.
One might think putting data centers in the ocean might have
environmental repercussions. But Microsoft is indicating that
nothing untoward happened in the initial experiment.
"During our deployment of the Leona Philpot vessel, sea life in
the local vicinity quickly adapted to the presence of the vessel,‖
Microsoft said on the Project Natick website.
Now Microsoft is looking to advance the research by building
larger capsules. People working on the project have begun
devising one three times as large as the first, according to John
Markoff of the New York Times.

The advantage
1 CARE Acquiring a new aircraft is already a complex enough process. Acquiring a pre-owned aircraft can be an even more challenging task. The industry has its fair share of brokers and experts all willing to offer you the best deal in town but, regrettably, once you have signed and the aircraft is delivered, they tend to vanish as they move onto the next deal. Our philosophy is very different. Every Embraer aircraft we lease has passed through our own Embraer facilities. Every aircraft is treated with a level of service and care that can only come from those who built them in the first place.
2 SUPPORT In choosing one of our pre-owned aircraft, all of our customers share a common goal: to ensure that the aircraft delivered perform seamlessly from day one and continue to perform for many years to come. In response to this, we offer the Lifetime Program by Embraer. This program represents a first in the industry and is the result of a very detailed review between ECC and Embraer on how best to support our customers. The Lifetime Program is unique to pre-owned Embraer aircraft and offers a wide range of services from startup through operation.
3 RELIABLE So when an ECC pre-owned aircraft is offered for delivery to its new home you can rest assured that it will provide many years of happy, reliable service. Our focus does not end there since we value the relationships we build with our customers. Our Lifetime Program is testament to this. This is a unique and new service from Embraer to support our used aircraft. We invite you to learn, in greater detail, how it will not only enhance your operation, but also keep your Chief Financial Officer happy. Transparency in costs and flexibility in adapting to your needs. It is our way of showing that every Embraer aircraft we offer has our seal of approval. Coming from the manufacturer, that's no small thing.

Teen romance usually digitally enhanced, says US
study
Technology plays a key role in teenage romance from initial encounters to eventual break-ups, says a US study.
Teenagers rarely meet online but do use technology for flirting, asking out, meeting up and parting, American think tank, the Pew Research Center, found. A survey of 1,060 US teenagers aged 13 to 17 revealed that technology brings them closer but also breeds jealousy.
"Digital platforms are powerful tools for teens," said Amanda Lenhart, lead author of the report from Pew. "But even as teens enjoy greater closeness with partners and a chance to display their relationships for others to see, mobile and social media can also be tools for jealousy, meddling and even troubling behaviour."
Digital romance, broken down
Of the 1,060 teenagers surveyed:
• 35% said they were currently dating and 59% of that group said technology made them feel closer to their partner
• For boys who were dating, 65% said social media made them more connected to a significant other while it was 52% for girls
• 27% of dating teenagers thought social media made them feel jealous or insecure in relationships
• 50% of all teens surveyed, dating or not, said they had indicated interest by friending someone on Facebook or other social media and 47% expressed attraction by likes and comments
• Texting is king - 92% of teens who were dating said they texted a partner, assuming the partner would check in with "great regularity"
• Jealousy happens, but not as much as flirting does - 11% of teenage daters reported accessing a partner's online accounts and 16% reported having a partner asking them to de-friend someone
What gets discussed during all those frequent social media enabled check-ins? According to the survey, it is mostly "funny stuff" followed by "things you're thinking about" as well as other Information such as where they are and what their friends have been doing. And forget having to meet up to resolve a conflict - 48% of dating teenagers said that could be done by texting or talking online. Online tools, with their accessibility and ease of use, also showed some signs of giving this group relationship anxiety. Females are more likely to be subject to unwanted flirting and 25% of teenagers surveyed said they have blocked or unfriended someone because of uncomfortable flirting. And 15% of teenage daters said a partner had used the internet to pressure them into unwanted sexual activity.
'More than emojis'
Nearly half the respondents admitted to concentrating on their phone ahead of their partner when together with 43% of dating teens saying that had happened to them. "I don't think this survey reveals much that is surprising. But it is affirming. Humans are social animals and we build tools to connect with each other, "wrote Julie Beck, an associate editor at The Atlantic news site, of the survey's findings.
"It's not all heart emojis all the time, no, but the tools that facilitate relationships facilitate all aspects of them, good and bad.
"Connecting with others is scary, hard, sometimes dangerous, but usually, hopefully, good. The teens get it."
