Intel Labs AI Reference Kits for Next-Gen Health Tech

AI Reference Kits Features

With a concentration on AI/ML research, Dev Aryan Khanna is an Intel Student Ambassador for oneAPI. His most recent project was the Healthcare AI Reference Kits Companion, an intelligent healthcare application that combines text-based symptom analysis and image classification with cutting-edge deep learning models. The application aids in the early diagnosis of illnesses using X-ray pictures and symptom descriptions. For model optimization, it makes use of oneAPI libraries and Intel AI Reference Kits.

Concerning the Healthcare AI Companion Initiative

The intrinsic constraint of current healthcare solutions designed exclusively for particular GPUs served as the driving force behind the creation of the Healthcare AI Reference Kits Companion. This was a serious issue since it made it more difficult to adjust to Intel CPUs, which affected the customer base worldwide. By creating an intelligent healthcare tool that is designed for a variety of architectures and focuses on achieving effective performance on Intel hardware, the project seeks to close this gap.

In order to construct the Healthcare AI Reference Kits Companion, oneAPI tools with cross-architecture were utilized. With the use of these tools, developers may create single-language and platform apps that are easily adapted to and optimized for a variety of architectures, including CPUs from Intel. These instruments guarantee flexibility, effectiveness, and ease of use, which is consistent with the project’s objective of offering a complete and adjustable healthcare solution.

Use of Intel Software and Hardware Optimizations

Intel Deep Neural Network (oneDNN) Library via oneAPI

How: Showcase how oneDNN may increase CNN layers’ performance for image-based illness identification.

What: Convolutional layers are optimized by the library, which is essential for improving the effectiveness of illness identification in X-ray pictures.

When: During the training and inference phases of the project life cycle, in particular.

The Data Analytics Library (oneDAL) of Intel oneAPI

How: OneDAL was used to expedite feature engineering operations inside the data preprocessing pipeline.

What: Although not the main goal, oneDAL helps to improve feature engineering and guarantee data quality, which are essential for precise disease detection models.

When: Just before the model is trained, during the data preparation stage.

PyTorch Intel Extension

How: The comparison graph shows how the Intel Extension for PyTorch was able to accelerate model training. Mixed-precision training is also made possible by the PyTorch optimizations.

What: The Intel Extension for PyTorch allows for mixed-precision training without compromising accuracy, optimizes model training, and speeds up deep learning workloads on Intel CPUs.

when: Mainly while the model is being trained.

The Intel Student Ambassador’s Success Story

Indian undergraduate Dev Aryan Kanna attends Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University. His experience as an Intel Student Ambassador for oneAPI has been enlightening. As part of the Intel Student Ambassador Program, he has organized workshops, hackathons, and worked on projects that have improved his own learning and given the student attendees invaluable practical experience. With the program, he has access to a wealth of resources, including the newest Intel hardware, which has enhanced his knowledge of Intel technologies and stoked his love for creative problem-solving.

His ambition to use technology to better healthcare has been inspired by the Healthcare AI Reference Kits Companion project, which placed first runner-up in a recent Intel Student Ambassador Hackathon. He hopes to continue making a significant contribution to the nexus of artificial intelligence and healthcare with continued access to Intel’s capabilities.

So, First of all. Love the Alt Origins aus. But Question about the miraculous initiative au. What exactly are the 'Miraculous suits'? Like what are all the bells and whistles?

Glad you like the au. As for the ‘Miraculous suits.’ Yes they have some unique features.

So first of all. The suit is basically a futuristic set of armor. The science for it is top secret. But basically nanomachines help produces and condense the suit when needed. The process of transformation takes about 60 seconds.

The suit is made to enhance the user’s reflex, strength, speed, and Durability to super human levels.

The suit is NOT as durable as the Canon miraculous. But makes up for this with healing. The Nano machines can heal damage pretty easily. Minor scratches heal almost instantaneously.

The suit has more padding (looking more like a power ranger suit rather then just spandex) 

The eye mask comes with multiple features. Including facial masking (which works in stopping facial recognition software, and gives off a frequency that prevents people from making mental connections in recognizing them)

The eye mask also has night vision, scanning capabilities, sight zoom, infrared vision, and anti-blinding measures.

The suit also comes with a utility weapon. Which starts as a metallic ball, that can take the form of any weapon they desire. But its can not be changed after taking the form until the next de-transformation. Chat noir started out with fencing swords but found that an extending staff worked better.

The suit comes with wall climbing (think like spider man). Allowing them to stick to any surface.

Then of course the unique powers.

Chat noir has an anti-matter generator. Which he can use to erase matter. (Which he can focus and control how much destruction is used.) He also has an EMP pulse that can be used to disrupt electronics. (should he not want to outright destroy something)

Ladybug has a high tech 3-d Printer that allows her to create any object she needs by simply focusing. She also can make a copy of an object by simply touching it and saying ‘Copy’. Which allows her to create multiple types of objects.

Ladybug and Chat noir also have an internal communicator in their right ear’s so that they can communicate with one another directly. They also have one in their left ear to contact Professor Silver.

The suit also has Environmental adaption. Should the suit sense an environment that the current iteration of the suit is at a disadvantage at handling. It will morph to be able to handle it. Such as the water suit, fire suit, and Space suit.)

-They do later get flight capabilities permanently, which was something that Silver wanted implemented immediately

Chapter 6: Batman and Robin

In the shower afterwards they held each other, whispering endearments and words of affection, laying out their plans for the next day. Peter had been exhausted a half-hour before, but became more animated as he listed the equipment he wanted to utilize and why, talking about it even after they had snuggled into bed for the night.

“I need to know how much I can bench press, and I want to clock my speed on the track. I honestly have no idea how fast I run because it’s faster traveling in New York by web. And what was that laser-grid room that Nat and Clint trained in? I always heard stories about it but never saw it. And the training room course? With those weird short hurdles where all those turrets are trying to kill you? When Fury had me train there I got across in 3.57 minutes — and I’ve got to admit, I was fencing left-handed that day. Everyone was looking at me weird and it made me nervous. I know I could break records in there. Oh! Oh! And the Evaluation Room?! The one Cap called ‘The Grinder?’ I have got to have another go at that one. The first day they put me in there I tripped over my own two feet because Nat told me you were on the observation deck. Added a whole forty seconds to my time. You don’t make me nervous anymore.”

“Those things are all still here. There’s data for what others scored on them to provide a baseline for you. And then, Dr. Cho has instruments that can objectively test your physical abilities.” Tony settled Peter in close, the way they usually slept, big spoon little spoon. He kissed the soft curls at the back of Peter’s neck. “You’ll get your answers, Pete.”

They were both pretending to fall asleep. Eventually it would come, but they were both restless and worried. Peter about the increase of his abilities, Tony about keeping that increase secret. Other than Peter, he trusted no one. And while he did trust Peter, he also recognized the kid was still incredibly naive.

He was getting less so, but he was no match for the duplicitousness that lived within the Avengers and SHIELD and those adjacent. Protecting Peter was Tony’s first, and only, priority. And he was already planning the steps he would need to take to do that. In the morning, while Peter was in the shower, getting ready for the day’s trials, he would set his own surveillance and blocks to anyone else’s. Scrub the servers of anything they collected since the helicopter landed… Tony was still running possibilities when sleep finally came.

The next day Peter was up and dressed before Tony. He was too nervous for breakfast. While they waited for Dr. Cho to become available, Tony took him for a tour of the prismatic accelerator that he used to create his new element. Alone in the vast, long room Peter raced up and down the length of the accelerator on his hands.

Tony saw Peter nearly vibrating with nervous excitement. “Why don’t you take a run through the tunnel? It goes underneath the buildings, underneath the fields. Big circular thing. Like running a really long lap. I should time you.”

Peter insisted on running it once at an easy pace (he called it the I’m-late-for-the-bus speed) and then again while ‘pushing it’. The lap around the entirety of the accelerator was seventeen miles. After his second run, he was keen to know if he had matched the running speed of Captain America. And frustrated to know that Tony didn’t have the information.

“But… wasn’t he Stark Tech? Don’t you have ALL that information? Nevermind, I can google it on my phone. There’s sixteen Old-Cap wikis at least.”

“That was Howard’s work, not mine. And Cap was never allowed down here.” It came out with more heat than he’d intended. “No one was, except Bruce. He helped with the calibration.

“You need to stop comparing yourself to Rogers,” he said, annoyed. “Arm wrestling with him, running his laps… Barnes’ metal arm is stronger than Cap ever was, and you’ve already stopped his punch. Running? It’s not good to compare yourself, an enhanced person, with someone created out of a test tube.”

“My spider was created out of a test tube. It’s not fair anyway, I know Cap trained in running. He was famous for it. And I use my leg muscles like, never. I’m a webswinger.

“And Tony?

“Can we run Nat’s laser-course thingy without staff?

“Yeah, that’s doable. Clint’s kept it active. He’s been training someone,” Tony said with a shrug, not impressed with Legolas’ attempt to replace himself now that he’d retired.

Tony went with Peter as he worked through the training exercises that were still active. Monitors were shut off, no one else allowed into the rooms, much less the entire levels they were using. He didn’t want anyone to have records of the things Peter was tested. But he kept them. Noting times and success/error ratios on his secured-by-FRIDAY phone.

Just by the numbers, the kid was scarily agile. Easily put Clint’s and even Nat’s scores to shame. Fast, he was faster than the current (non-enhanced) hundred meter record holder, but Tony expected that. He was surprised that he didn’t hit the mark for Cap’s hundred meter time. But then Cap was always good at running away.

They spent the most time inside “Nat’s laser-course thingy” where Peter insisted on running the same course repeatedly.His time was good, but kept insisting on a chance to do it better. “Just one more time,” he asked after each completion. They kept ‘one more timing’ it until well past lunch. Peter only took a break because Dr. Cho had finally texted Tony that she was free from her lab. His endless suggestions dried up as he nervously followed Tony toward her office. She met them in the courtyard, accompanied by an assistant.

“Helen, this is Peter Parker,” Tony said once they’d arrived in Helen’s office. He put his arm around Peter’s shoulders. “Peter is also the Amazing Spider-Man,” he said, teasing Peter with the name the tabloids gave him. “We have some questions. Medical. Enhanced Individual medical.”

“Wait… the Spider-Man?” she said, her face lighting up. “Oh I’ve read so much about you. Oh, I have a million questions… but…” she said, changing course suddenly when Tony raised an eyebrow. “Peter, allow me to introduce my associate Mr. Nguyen. He just completed his Masters in Biomedical Science at Columbia. You probably have a lot in common…”

Peter took the hint and shook hands with the good looking Vietnamese man. Shooting a nervous look at Tony, he followed the man back to the courtyard, leaving Tony and Dr. Cho in her office to talk.

“Spider-Man?” she whispered the moment Peter left. “You didn’t warn me that this was about Spider-Man, Tony,” she hissed. “Why didn’t you tell me? I could have been free hours sooner.”

“Telling you would’ve been a risk. The reason we’re here, as opposed to elsewhere, is because Peter’s not the first enhanced individual you’ve worked with.

“Only I’m going to need assurance that what gets discussed goes no farther than you. No records can be kept. Otherwise this can’t happen. And Pete needs for this to happen. There’s a sizable grant in it for you if you can keep an even more stringent standard than your basic doctor/patient confidentiality.”

Helen’s smile disappeared. “There isn’t a ‘more stringent’ standard than the basic doctor/patient confidentiality, Tony. And SHIELD is already paying me handsomely to be the team doctor. You don’t have to bribe me to do my job.”

“SHIELD paying your salary is exactly what I am worried about. There can be no divided loyalties. This isn’t for SHIELD. It isn’t for the Avengers. This is for me. And for Peter. No one else.” Tony paused. “Not even you.”

He paced nervously. It was one thing to trust Helen with his life, which he had done absolutely after his ‘death’, but it was another entirely to trust her with Peter’s life.

“Lately, Peter’s abilities have been changing. That has him worried. What he brought me here for, what I suppose he’s looking for, is a metric for his abilities. He has other questions as well. That might require DNA samples, blood work, things like that. He’s mentioned having an objective analysis of what his enhancement is doing to him.

“Whatever samples or blood work you take to determine that, there can be no holding anything back for your own experimentation. Privacy. Absolute. Without that, I’ll figure out another way to get Peter the data he needs. But honestly, I’d rather trust you with this. If I can trust you.”

“Excuse me? Tony? I’m a doctor. The moment I take on Mr. Parker as my patient everything we talk about falls under doctor/patient privilege. Even if it wasn’t a legal issue, it’s my job. No one will have access to what Mr. Parker and I talk about,” she said firmly.

She turned away, looking into the courtyard through her office’s large window where Peter was talking to her assistant. “Including you.”

“Look, I know Fury doesn’t give a damn about what standards the world outside his own little kingdom has. Not telling me? I…”

He was taken aback. He hadn’t considered that he wouldn’t be informed about everything to do with Peter. He was used to having total access to Peter’s life. Okay, it was mostly non-consensual total access, but not knowing something so important about the most important person in his life?

“I’m sorry, was he made your legal ward, Batman?” she asked. Then she shrugged. “Even in that case, it doesn’t matter. Robin is an adult now. What you want to know you’ll have to ask him. As he’s your partner, I’ll certainly I’m prepared to discuss with both of you whatever he wants me to share. But understand, I’m going to be his doctor…”

Tony smiled at the ‘ward’ comment, but he was impressed. If she was willing to exclude him, she’d be willing to exclude any of the people he was worried about. “I can live with that,” he finally said.

“You’ll be pressured to break those standards. I don’t know who will apply the pressure, but it will come.” Tony knew he was sounding paranoid. But he also knew his paranoia had a firm basis in history. “Keeping these secrets? That’s not covered by any professional standards. That’s covered by your word.”

“Tony,” Helen said quietly, taking a step closer to him until they were face to face. “Your murder-bot tried to kill me, and memebers of my staff. That scared me. Fury? Fury doesn’t scare me.”

“Still haven’t heard your word.”

“Do billionaires carry folding money in their wallets?” she asked casually, moving toward the door. Peter and her assistant were chatting amiably, but Peter had begun heading toward her office again.

Tony laughed. “Not really. Billionaires use electronic transfers.”

She opened the door to her office. “Peter?” she called out cheerfully. He entered and gladly pulled out his wallet when she asked him if he had any cash. Reaching into the billfold she pulled out a five and pocketed it.

“Congratulations, as of this moment I am your personal doctor,” she said cheerfully, shaking his hand. “Because of my profession I am under oath…” She turned and looked at Tony pointedly, “to prioritize your needs, and privacy, over any and all outside parties. As long as you don’t directly describe any crimes to me that you plan on committing in the future, neither wild horses nor the Supreme Court could get a word out of me. Are you familiar with HIPAA?”

In the very first location, the Ethereum mastermind motivated designers to construct rollups, a kind of scaling option that includes rolling-up deals and providing them as a single deal to reduce expenses while increasing speed. He particularly highlighted the development of zero-knowledge innovations, and the requirement for more deal with zero-knowledge rollups, aka zk-rollups. Buterin stated that concise non-interactive zero-knowledge evidence (zk-SNARKs), an evidence architecture where one can show ownership of particular understanding without revealing that understanding, are nearly as essential as the blockchain innovation itself." I really believe zk-SNARKs may be like practically and even similarly as essential to the f,,,] personal privacy, openness, and [...] flexibility sort of option. decentralized, web tech motion as blockchains are," Buterin stated. He stated zk-SNARKs are "very" reliable at offering users personal privacy and scalability while maintaining security, which is equivalent to what blockchains are attempting to do. He included that zero-knowledge evidence can in fact function as a compliment to blockchains. Blockchains intend to supply a great deal of security, however in exchange, they compromise personal privacy and scalability. On the other hand, zk-SNARKs return personal privacy and scalability - "so construct ZK apps," Buterin stated. He even more motivated designers to concentrate on personal privacy, declaring that it is less checked out compared to scalability. Notably, there are currently some efforts to develop procedures concentrated on maintaining personal privacy. There is Proof of Humanity (PoH), a social identity confirmation system for human beings established on the Ethereum blockchain." In Ethereum, we are beginning to have increasingly more of these procedures. They are releasing some type of attestation at particular addresses to state something about the individual who manages that address," Buterin stated, including that such procedures can make airdrops and decentralized governance fairer by eliminating similar users. Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP), a procedure that develops digital badges or antiques through using blockchain innovation, is another such job. This procedure can verify that an address comes from somebody who took part in an occasion without exposing the identity of the individual. Buterin likewise motivated designers to think about dealing with soulbound tokens, which are tokens that can't be offered or separated from their owners. He has actually been really singing about these tokens just recently. After at first checking out the concept in an article previously this year, Buterin co-authored a term paper in mid-May discussing how non-transferable Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) can produce a richer, pluralistic environment within Ethereum. Buterin recommended that soulbound tokens would have the ability to encode social relationships of trust. These tokens might be utilized for unique airdrops, or "souldrops," permitting a company to select the ideal members based upon their requirements. Another location that Buterin argues designers must attempt to enhance is public items financing. He kept in mind that Bitcoiners currently have a public items moneying called quadratic financing, which is a more ideal method to money public items. However, he stated that there are chances to enhance quadratic financing by making the system much better, and by increasing security and personal privacy. Lastly, Buterin stated that designers ought to go for much better decentralized self-governing company ( DAO) governance. He stated the present governance design in DAOs is either centralized or attackable, due to the coin-based governance that they use.

Buterin declared that the coin-based governance is "essentially broken," motivating designers to think about governance designs that are not coin-driven. This is likewise where things like souldbound tokens and Proof of Humanity can show helpful as they can assist make certain just genuine and special people are taking part in governance. ____ Read More

Author's Notes from a Modern Brutale

The Sexy Brutale is a melange of early 20th century opulence, cultural references from the classic to the contemporary and memetic, and technology both common and cutting edge. The nature of the game leaves room to interpret which of the above are indicative of time frame versus anachronistic appeal, game mechanics, or outright fantasy.

When thinking to write my take on a back story, I latched onto a sense of Fuzzy Modern Era because of the abovementioned tech and Reasons. I wanted to imagine Trinity living independently, Redd out and happy with Greyson, Tequila likewise with Willow, and big brother Clay infinitely more bothered by Greyson's former profession than his gender - and Lafcadio officiating a lovely garden wedding for any couple desiring one. I also wanted to imagine that nobody is being murdered by delightfully cruel staff, but that's as spoilertastic as this article will get. Which is to say it won't, as it's also general commentary on how I combine throwback glamour with a present day setting. 

A manor and casino like the Brutale, run by a magnificent bastard like Lucas, is defined by timeless charm and social and artistic activity. Lush vintage decor. Live music, theater, acts of magical escapism. Gambling with personable and entertaining croupiers. Rare books, art, artifacts, recordings. Fine craftsmanship in traditions worth preserving - the more obscure, the better. Throwing lavish parties to surprise and delight friends and associates and assorted miscreants, and to throw them all together to see what sort of shenanigans ensue. All of the above can be developed within some arbitrary era implied by the style of prose and dialogue and any referenced social norms.

Cultural and media references are chosen to bring fresh variety into the sense of enduring glamour. I name drop or pointedly hint at what has stood the test of time in terms of interest or amusement or importance, and I don't try to guess at what will. Rather, I give an impression of recent works that either suit the aesthetic or feel apt to broaden the sense of what does. For instance, music selections run in the veins of classical piano, speakeasy jazz, and the Great American Songbook. Contemporary styles, like various flavors of electronica, are described by overall effect meant to fit in with a mix of the above.

This leaves us with the Grinmaw in the tank - technology irrevocably affecting contemporary lifestyles. The near ubiquity of pocket computing, with all the utility and connectivity and distraction it facilitates. The necessity to acknowledge its existence without stuffing up all that aforementioned glamour with selfie sticks and glaring buzzwords - to modernize standard patterns of communication and recreation instead of having readers wonder where all the phones went. In other words, a right pain in my arse to soft focus the specifics of tech while giving enough idea of embracing it.

As with the Brutale itself, the characters' stories revolve around personal interaction, professional activity, and interests unobtrusively enhanced by the likes of phones and tablets and online media. I consider this in terms of long established workflow that nowadays happens to involve worldwide connection. Characters read books and articles, follow news and sports and fashion, listen to music and shows, collect style inspiration, send photos and messages and items of interest, save snapshots and impromptu recordings as mementos, check mail and call home, keep up with social circles - much as they would in a distant past, though with far greater scope and speed and efficiency. Of course they're also free to order merchandise or play games or throw in on some discussion, which can still be kept in general terms of interest. I can't possibly care less about the particulars of characters' social networks or chatting services, who is more apt to buy music versus stream it versus Greyson it, preferred sources for shopping or reviews or information searches or toilet humor, which card collecting time sink Clay got himself into after sufficient boredom with crosswords. I do care about how that pocket connectivity relates to the more interesting aspects of plot and personality, and how to describe that all in terms that judiciously expand the concept of a timeless atmosphere.

This ties into considerations of keeping archetypes relevant instead of glaringly anachronistic. Greyson is very much a classic British gentleman thief, and his penchant for treasure hunts reminiscent of the Bright Young Things of 1920s London. He can still rock a similar flamboyance and focus his work on finely machined locks requiring an expert's touch, albeit with some snark at the ease of popping the electronic variety. Willow's voodoo work is all about personal connections, handcrafted charms, and business relationships local to her French Quarter home. Lucas loves to wine, dine, entertain, and travel, and to show off his money with ornate bespoke luxury, which naturally leads him to be on good terms with a master clocksmith. Tequila's professional emphasis is on performance with live accompaniment and no frills beyond her attire, and her aesthetic evocative of Hollywood's golden age.

A contemporary Brutale does lose the romance of a distant bombastic past, of legends made even larger than life by the passage of time, of looking back at diaries and sepia photographs to the crackle of a gramophone. (Which is why I'm thrilled that Nikkusama astutely captures said romance - quite literally - in her Greyson/Redd series.) It just happens to be how my brain works and was made to work well enough for scratching my itch.

WIP Intro and Summary: Superhuman

Premise: Superhuman (title subject to change) is my spin on a superhero story. In this universe, superhuman abilities began appearing in the mid-2020s without explanation. The story itself starts in the year 2064. The main character is a superhuman vigilante-turned-soldier named Emma. The early story focuses on a few of her exploits as a member of the Vigilante Network, and sets up the various factions. The story as a whole focuses on the interactions between the various factions, which will be expanded upon further below.

Characters:

Emma/”Peregrine”: Emma is the protagonist of Superhuman. She is a superhuman herself, and, when the story begins, is part of the Vigilante Network.

She got her nickname after hearing herself referred to as such in a news broadcast covering one of her exploits as a vigilante, and finding that she liked the sound of it.

Emma’s ability is enhanced speed and reflexes, sufficient to:

Dodge or outrun bullets

Easily outrun cars and quite possibly aircraft (she hasn’t attempted the latter)

Move faster than the human eye can feasibly track, usually registered as just a blur

Easily outclass any baseline human in unarmed combat, as she can easily dodge any attack and her enhanced speed and toughened tissues allow her to deliver devastating blows

Emma’s body is much more resilient than a baseline human’s in order to compensate for her abilities, as they would otherwise tear her apart. This isn’t to the extent that she can block or deflect a stabbing or gunshot, but it does make her much more difficult to damage or incapacitate by blunt trauma.

Emma is pan, and has a girlfriend. She lives in an apartment in the city of Greysaw with her two dogs: a mastiff named Tonka and a terrier named Zippy.

Raya: Raya is Emma’s girlfriend, and is a superhuman. However, unlike Emma, she is not a vigilante or soldier, and has no interest in being either. She and Emma have been together for three years, and when the story begins, are considering moving in together. She is trans.

Raya is a type of superhuman known as a Phoenix. Her body constantly generates energy, which must be released once every two to three weeks in the form of kinetic and thermal force.

“The Operator”: The Operator is the unofficial leader of the Vigilante Network. He coordinates them on missions and acts as mission control.

The Operator’s ability is extremely powerful, extremely precise manipulation of electricity. Generally he uses it to manipulate technology, but he is capable of creating blasts powerful enough to fry a human with a flick of his wrist.

In addition to his abilities, the Operator is a technological genius. He created much of the tech used by the vigilantes himself. Of particular note is their suits, which are tailored to each vigilante’s specific abilities.

Ira/”Speed Demon”: Ira is a veteran, experienced member of the Hero program. She has been a member of the task force since nearly its inception, a total of 17 years. She acts as both an active agent in the field when necessary and a combat instructor for recruited superhumans.

In the story, Ira becomes a friend and something of a mentor to Emma.

Like Emma, Ira’s ability is enhanced speed and the required enhanced resilience. However, due to much more experience and much more dangerous assignments, Ira is a much better fighter than Emma, and is significantly more adept at using her abilities.

World Information:

The Vigilante Network: As the name suggests, the Vigilante Network is a loose coalition of vigilantes who combat crime in the city of Greysaw. They are generally left alone by the local law enforcement due to the fact that, in many cases, said law enforcement simply isn’t equipped to combat superhuman criminals.

The Hero Program: The Hero Program is an international task force that was put together to combat large-scale, usually superhuman threats, and is itself comprised mostly of superhumans. Currently, they are the main faction in direct opposition of Generation Two.

Generation Two: Generation Two is a superhuman supremacist organization who believe that their abilities make them superior to baseline humanity. They are officially categorized as a terrorist group. Their activity has spiked in recent months, and they seem to have become bolder as of late. As a result, conflicts between them and the military have become more common.

Protesters Against Superhumans: This organization’s name is self-explanatory: They are an organization of baseline humans who discriminate against and fear and/or despise superhumans, regardless of faction. They are officially categorized as a hate group.

There have been reports that they are being manipulated by Generation Two, but these are unconfirmed and thus far unsubstantiated.

Types of Superhumans (List will be updated):

Buzzers: Those who are capable of manipulating electricity.

Speedsters: Those who possess enhanced speed.

Phoenixes: Phoenixes are a type of superhuman who constantly generate energy, and must release it every two to three weeks in the form of a powerful explosion. Most areas have power-dumping grounds where they can do so safely.

Some Phoenixes have trained themselves to utilize their ability with more control, capable of releasing their energy in directed blasts of heat and kinetic force.

Bloodhounds: Those who have enhanced senses.

JGP Ostrava and Nebelhorn Trophy

JGP Ostrava:

Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov RD FD won easily as expected and have qualified to JGPF. Their tango has been sharp since the beginning, and this was another great showing of it here. In the free dance they made some changes since their first outing week one, most notably swapping the placement of their choreographic spin and straight line lift. They ran into some issues with their combination spin, but still set a new season’s best with improved components. We look forward to seeing their continued progress in December!

Kazakova/Reviya RD FD had an excellent JGP debut in their second season as a team, utilizing their speed and flair for drama to grab silver. We love that stationary choreographic lift they close out their free dance with. They’re both such expressive and committed performers that they would be a delight even if their technique wasn’t as strong as it is.

Davis/Smolkin RD FD

As you may have heard, Davis is Eteri Tutberidze's daughter, and they made a very solid JGP debut here. You can tell they're lacking in experience compared to the teams that placed above them when it comes to interpretation, but they make up for it with commitment and some admirably difficult tech content. They had some solid lifts and speed and a good deal of expressiveness even if their interpretation was not always enhancing the music, and their enthusiasm and energy were palpable.

Bronsard/Bouaraguia RD FD

A great JGP debut for this highly charming team. We would have liked their tango to have a little more tango in it, and we still aren't a fan of mixing rhythms, but their quickstep was very strong and showed off their personalities well. Bouaraguia is a very strong partner with a solid presence and a good lead, and they've both got a real sense of showmanship, which is fortuitous with their free dance being what it is. It's an even better vehicle for them than the rhythm dance, since the whole thing is molded to their strengths, whereas they didn't seem to quite get the tango section in the same way. They're a very promising team and we wish them luck over the rest of the season.

Nebelhorn Trophy:

Gilles/Poirier RD FD

Gilles/Poirier are, as always, entirely themselves, artistic and creative and constantly innovating. We've already written about how they've pushed the boundaries of the sport and predicted trends, and they continued that here. Their twizzles need a little practice to make it clear that the unique, difficult positions are intended and not mistakes that they're just rolling with, and there are a couple tricky transitions they get stuck in in both programs, but overall this is some of their strongest packaging to date. Their tango manages to be different from their very successful free dance from two seasons back as well as different from the rest of the field while still maintaining the feel of a tango. Their free dance has a few rough spots but was lovely and fascinating and should grow into a powerful vehicle soon enough.

Parsons RD

They started off strong with a tango that showed off the polish, maturity, and experience that they gained in the year they've been seniors that helped them secure the silver. Unfortunately for the second competition in a row their free dance is unavailable on youtube, and we haven't been able to find an alternative link, but they showed off their warm, natural sibling connection and stayed uncannily linked throughout, minus a small bobble at the end where she lost her balance that counted as a fall. They're really making this music their own and we're glad that they had such a strong performance of a program that holds such meaning to them. They finally cleaned up their levels on their fourth international outing of the season and look strong and prepared for their grand prix events.

Carreira/Ponomarenko RD FD

Carreira/Ponomarenko continued their solid senior debut with two more strong skates, including a level 4 on the first section of the tango romantica pattern. Carreira also was the only ice dancer in the event to achieve a level 4 on the one foot step sequence. Their programs are technically ambitious and should continue to grow with every outing, and their speed and dynamic energy is already fully present. They continue to utilize their strong, versatile chemistry in both programs, and they're really settling into the interpretation and nuances of their music. We can't wait to see them continue to develop throughout the season.

Fear/Gibson RD FD

Bringing the fun back to ice dance! The music alone would brighten our day, but they show off their stamina by keeping up the energy all the way through, combined with some difficult elements and some seriously fun knee slides. While their disco free dance is the real star, their tango is very solid as well and we'll be intrigued to see them again at Skate America in a few weeks where they'll be facing their domestic rivals Tweedale/Buckland.

Koch/Nuchtern FD

Their tango needs a little more tango feeling, but is a solid program, although apparently not worthy enough to appear on youtube. We have a big soft spot for Notre Dame de Paris, and they milk every ounce of drama from it. They use the highs and lows very well, letting the program build and build until they finish off with a big choreographic lift where she shakes her fists at the sky before swooning into his arms so he can cradle her dying form as her body goes limp in one of the best on ice deaths we've seen recently. Although we would suggest a minor tweak in his hold in the end pose, because at the moment it kind of looks like he's feeling up her corpse which is frowned upon in most societies.

Muller/Dieck RD FD In the wake of Lorenz/Polizoakis' split, they are trying to push the limits to become German #1. Very good tango, the best tango feel of the German teams, just an unfortunate fall from him at the end of the diagonal step sequence. As for the free dance, we're not quite sure that four minutes reflecting on our own mortality is quite what we're looking for in ice dance, but its certainly unique and attention grabbing. They made a coaching change to Gorshkov over the summer and you can already begin to see the improvements in their skating skills. Slightly wish that they would bring back their free dance from last year, ice dance needs more Whitney, and with the field increasingly trending towards moodiness we'd prefer to see a fun dance party on ice rather than somewhat distracting voiceovers declaring YOUR TIME IS LIMITED. But this is clearly a meaningful program for them, and we hope to see them continue to grow into Memento Mori On Ice.

Kaliszek/Spodiriev RD FD

Kaliszek/Spodiriev could have fought for a medal but took themselves out of contention in the RD when she fell on the twizzles. We love the commitment though-- pre-skate posing including a slap to get into character is the kind of unselfconscious theatricality that ice dance could use more of. Shout out to Spodiriev for winning the deep V contest we didn't even know was happening, and she looks like a beautiful leaf in her unusual tango dress. Fantastic rotational lift to open their free dance. Some struggles on the twizzles and the one foot sequence couldn’t take away from the innovativeness and potential of this program. We hope they have a stronger outing in a few weeks at Skate America!

Nazarova/Nikitin RD FD

This is one team that never fails to push the boundaries and show off their quirky personalities, but unfortunately they didn't have a great competition. They fell early on in the pattern in the rhythm dance and got rattled and never quite got back into it. Perhaps Nikitin would have stayed on his feet better if there weren't a pair of disembodied hands strangling him? The free dance went somewhat better, but all in all not their best skates. If you look beyond the messiness, though, you'll find a lot to like. Even when scrambling they're incredibly fun performers, and have loads of difficult, interesting transitions. Their lifts are as great as always, with acrobatic and eye catching and utilizing their flexibility and balance as well as strength. Shout out to Nazarova for smashing the gender binary with her black boots, and we hope they pull it together in time for Skate America.

Discovering a Computer Service Center You Can Trust Fund

Your have a computer repair service that needs to get done as soon as possible. You are ready to take it anywhere. Question is, where should you take it? Does it really matter where you take it? I would recommend that it does. Right here are some things you may have ruled out before.  Cloud Computing

What kind of turn around time do they have? Some computer repair shops will certainly take a couple of weeks to return your computer to you. Are you ready to be without your computer system for that lengthy? Otherwise, search. There are computer system service center that can get your computer system back to you in as little as a few hrs. Some of these faster firms can bill a lot more however the rate is worth it if you are working with a huge task that has to obtain done right away.

What do they bill for their hourly charge? Some companies bill truly high costs and take a truly long period of time to get the computer back to you. You wish to take your fixing to a computer service center that will certainly fast and also will certainly do the repair right the first time. Search for a computer system repair shop that posts their costs. Most shops have actually an established price list for details jobs. Search for a company that can offer you a solid quote before they begin their work. You need to also see to it they will contact you for approval if there is any kind of reason to enhance their repair work bill before they begin the repair work PC Repairs.

Computer Fixing - Picking a Computer Repair Shop While on Vacation

Also in this slowing down economic situation, many individuals still manage to take a vacation. As well as if you are like me, whether you take a trip for organization and/or pleasure, you bring a laptop computer.

Holiday Problems

Unfortunately, a reasonable quantity of people have their laptop computers break while on vacation. As cautious as you attempt to be, you run out your element and points happen. Perhaps it obtains dropped at the resort, or maybe you obtain it contaminated with infections or spyware while browsing online for details regarding your place. Currently, I'm not saying by any means, that Googling for info concerning some trip hotspot straight results in obtaining contaminated. Yet web internet search engine results can lead you to malicious web links.

Everyone's net browsing behaviors are different, their net street smarts differ and so do the safety products they use. I understand of people vacationing that have actually taken lots of video clips and also pictures and downloaded them to their laptop computer so they can take extra the next day. Then ... BOOM! an unforeseen and also unexpected issue occurs with their laptop computer PC Repairs.

If you aren't there for very long and have a serious problem, you could just want to wait up until you get house to have it repaired. But if you have a couple days, or have a computer emergency that can not wait, there are many local computer fixing companies that can help.

Just how to Select a Local Computer Repair Company

Firstly, if your computer still boots up and also you believe it is just a software problem such as a program error or a spyware infection, you are a good prospect for an on website visit. But if you want solution the very same day you call, you need to call as early as feasible, as on website solution is normally by appointment just PC Repairs.

Another note regarding on site service is that there are a selection of mobile only service technicians (free-lancers) and shops that can dispatch their own mobile specialists. In either instance, their fee and degree of experience can differ considerably. I have to confess, that when a client is concerned concerning whether the professional can handle the task, I do not like getting interviewed over the phone for 15 minutes and afterwards the potential client asks if they can call you back. That normally implies to us that you have no intention of recalling and also you just didn't wish to injure our sensations. Whatever the situation, there was some argument, usually the rate, count on, questions regarding having the ability to handle the task, scheduling, or whatever PC Repairs.

Asking Concerns

What I would claim you ought to look for, is a specialist who is willing to listen to your issue, and then ask "YOU" enough questions to obtain a company comprehending about your computer issue. Numerous customers have a tough time trying to explain their trouble and just require a little guidance. You should begin feeling at ease when the specialist starts to discuss the signs and symptoms as well as some possible reasons back to you in words that make sense. I have actually repaired enough computers (numerous thousands) that I can possibly get enough details out of you to define the situation that resulted in your problem, as well as a reasonable estimate.

Details

Currently some professionals, including myself occasionally, will certainly have a tendency to restrict "all" the possible reasons for your problem, so as not to frighten you. We can only do so a lot over the phone, and also if there were a tiny chance of the issue being a pricey motherboard, I would not wish to emphasize that if it were most likely to be another thing. Picture your Medical professional talking about cancer cells when you believed you just had a negative cold, as well as he hadn't even run any tests yet. However in some cases, regardless of just how much we wish it isn't serious, in some cases it is. Now simply to be reasonable, I know the client additionally tends to maintain details to themselves too, for the fear that revealing everything will make the work expense a lot more. Whatever the troubles are, they will eventually be disclosed throughout repairing anyway. Yet called much as feasible up front helps us to provide you a much better price quote over the phone so we can do the repair service with no surprises ... for "both" of us. Simply remember that we have no control over what you bring us ... what it is, is what it is PC Repairs.

Sadly, some service technicians just want to set the visit as well as do not wish to state a lot over the phone apart from to set the consultation. These individuals do not recognize what they will certainly be strolling into, as well as you may obtain a shock in your bill. I such as to take a bit of time and speak about the trouble to see if the task also certifies to be done on site, because truthfully, there are some jobs I do not want to accept, at the very least not on site. They might be labor extensive, making it tough to maintain the rate down, or it just may need the full-service abilities of a store.

The length of time Should a Repair Service Take?

A lot of on site techs bill hourly, as well as the majority of "telephone qualified" jobs need to be able to be fixed on website between 1 - 2 hours. For suspicious jobs and outright labor intensive tasks, I recommend you bring them right into a shop. When checked-in store, the entire repair work process is various. Techs have to work with numerous computer systems concurrently. Not a large bargain, however it makes an average fixing take between 2 -4 days.

While dealing without your computer system for a couple of days might provide you convulsions, you will certainly be obtaining a whole lot even more value for your cash and the charge is normally based on a level rate. I understand that we carry out hrs of added tiresome job like Windows Updates, Disk Defragmentation, Checking the Hard disk drive for mistakes, physical cleansing, and also a lot more. Points that you absolutely would not want to pay added for if done on site. Having a computer system in-shop also helps the tech to observe it long enough to see if there are any intermittent problems. Dropping by your home or resort for an hour or so might not reveal these sorts of issues PC Repairs.

A lot of shops likewise have an "speed up" service for in-shop repair work where your computer can be sent to the head of the line, and oftentimes, these can be fixed within 24 hr or even the same day if generated early enough. Currently all this is based on bringing your computer system right into a "regional shop" not one of those mega computer stores.

One thing I forgot to mention, is that if you still have a way to obtain on-line, I suggest you utilize the net to Google for a neighborhood computer system shop. Google is respectable at providing a checklist of neighborhood company and you will certainly have the ability to create an impact of the firm you are calling by their site, not to mention, that, what, where, why and just how much they are prior to they call. You can additionally contrast what they claim on their website to what they state over the phone.

Whoever you select is eventually your option, yet I wish this article aided notify you about a couple of points you most likely never ever thought when it concerns picking a computer system repair firm, whether you get on trip or in your home community PC Repairs.

Computer System Repair Buying

Computer system Fixing.

When seeking a computer system repair shop, many consumers are as cynical as they would certainly be when buying a made use of auto, or looking for automobile fixing. Like the auto market, there is no scarcity of computer system repair service procedures that are more than happy to make use of individuals that are left with no choice however to trust them. Typically these places overcharge, are not concerned with keeping you as a repeat client, and/or will certainly not completely fix the computer system at all. In most cities in towns however, there are lots of straightforward and also industrious PC fixing techs, as well as its likely you'll be trying to find one eventually if you use a computer daily. Below are a couple of bottom lines to think about when seeking a brand-new computer system repair service man.

How to discover computer service center?

Word of mouth is always dependable, yet not always offered. If you have been staying in the very same area for a long time, or happen to recognize several individuals in your town, ask about. Opportunities are that if you have 3 pals a minimum of among them has actually made use of a regional computer system repair service. In addition, and also much more genuinely, utilizing an internet search is a terrific (perhaps the greatest) way to find a computer system repair business. Here's why; making a web site conveniently searchable and noticeable is something that needs a details understanding and skill, by the time somebody has actually produced a web site that looks professional, as well as made it easily searchable for their geo-specific area, they likely are knowledgeable and also specialist in the technology field PC Repairs.

How to tell a service center is a great one?

Impression are crucial. Exactly how does their marketing look? Does their website/signs/business card look like it was made by a technology expert? Does the workdesk clerk solution questions/have any pertinent knowledge? Does the building resemble a reputable organization, or a sham procedure somebody is running out of their house? The majority of computer service center provide at the very least a few standard solutions, like laptop screen substitute, virus removal, hard disk replacement, and also raising processing speed. Be wary of stores that only offer, or case to "specialize" in one service PC Repairs.

What makes a computer system repair business better than one more?

There are a couple of distinctive and important high qualities that divide the negative from the great, and also the good from the terrific COMPUTER repair shops. Initially, inquire about turn-around time. Computer system repair work takes some time; specifically when certain parts need to be bought, however nobody wants to lack their PC for a month to obtain a new hard disk drive mounted. The majority of computer repair work will certainly take a few hours once they are actually started. If the store tries to convince you then need weeks for the repair work, or are so hectic they won't reach your job for weeks, find one more business. Next, ask about a service warranty or warranty on the job. Third party tech can not guarantee manufactures components, yet you need to know that if they damage your computer better, or it damages soon after you obtain it back, that you have some option. The majority of good shops will certainly warranty their help 30-90 days. Another point to take into consideration is the dimension of the business. Large firms like Ideal Buy as well as Nerd Squad are safe, since they are likely to have the most extensive warranties and insurance coverage, however are commonly expensive, and will apply general services to your computer system, instead of completely fix any kind of problems. Smaller shops are more likely to resolve extremely certain troubles, as well as work about delicate requirements, however you run the risk of managing illegitimate services.

How Wing Is Plowing the Field for Drone Delivery | Tech Buzz

One of the enormous changes coming to us that has accelerated significantly of late is drone delivery, which promises to provide more speedy fulfillment of online orders. First for small items like meals or medicines, both of which are critical during the pandemic, and eventually for larger items — and even people.

Still, drone delivery has a few challenges to overcome which include range, air traffic control, safety, and consumer trust. All of these must be developed to the point where the related services are trusted to do what they promise, without drama.

One of the leading companies developing a drone solution is a subsidiary of Google’s parent company Alphabet, named Wing. It has the drones, the air traffic control system, and the most extensive test fleet in the air currently. Still, Wing will face competition from other firms and internal groups at shipping companies in this race for instant gratification.

Let’s talk about each of the elements and why Wing is so far ahead, and we’ll end, as always, with my product of the week: the first transparent TV at commercial scale from Xiaomi.

The Elements of Drone Delivery

Drone delivery isn’t easy primarily because we want the things to run on batteries, and battery energy efficiency is still inferior in terms of both energy density and weight when compared to fossil fuels. So part of a delivery solution is to have depots within the 6- to 9-mile effective delivery range of the more advanced delivery drones.

A drone design is needed that is reasonably safe and relatively energy-efficient; otherwise, the depot density and liability become unreasonable. Relying only on the heavy-lift capability of the drone won’t do it. The wings or lifting bodies need to be utilized to extend the range and the speed of the drone to minimize airtime, to conserve energy. Delivery drones need to be lightweight to reduce damage if they fail (lower terminal velocity), and to reduce the base energy the drone body needs to stay aloft.

Now with all of the drones in the air, some sort of traffic control system is needed. However, humans won’t cut it because the traffic will be significant when delivery service hits critical mass. So this traffic control system must be automated, work between drone service providers, and integrate with the traffic control systems in use by commercial, law enforcement, and military aviation. This platform should be integrated with the tracking systems that consumers have access to, so they can receive their drone-delivery package.

Finally, you need a process to assure the package and drone are both protected in transit and that the package ends up in the hands of the designated recipient. If significant numbers of drones or packages end up stolen or damaged, the proposition of widespread of drone delivery would be destined to fail.

Wing’s Answers

Wing has developed solutions for each of these elements, which is why currently, as far as independent drone solutions (Amazon has developed similar capabilities), it is ahead. Wing’s plan includes depots within the reliable range limits of their planned drone services. I think we’ll eventually find that shopping centers will make very viable drone depots in the future.

Wing’s drone design is inspired. Using industrial-grade Styrofoam for the drone body and a lifting-wing design, Wing has created a light drone that can use the wings to extend the drone’s range and lower its terminal velocity, and in turn the potential for damage in the event of a catastrophic failure.

Wing adopted OpenSky, an app-based offering in place for both commercial and consumer markets. OpenSky services are currently only available in Australia, but provide a vision of what’s to come in other regions. The app lets drone flyers place a pin on any location in Australia in order to gather information about flight rules.

Future planned enhancements are consistent with an automated air traffic control system, and those improvements are expected to arrive long before drone delivery reaches critical mass. They must; otherwise full deployments will likely be delayed until those enhancements are in place and thoroughly tested.

Finally, the Wing drone uses a built-in winch that keeps the drone elevated and safe, and the application the recipient will use assures they are on site to receive the package when it arrives. This helps protect the drone from damage, and better assures the package goes where intended. User tracking could be an option to assure the person at the delivery location is the same for whom the package is intended.

Wrapping Up

Wing currently has the leading solution, which is concerning to independent providers coming to market. Amazon, however, may be ahead particularly with heavy lifting and their investigation of alternative depot designs like dirigibles or blimps, which are mobile, although those have additional safety, weather, and air-traffic concerns.

In any race, being ahead doesn’t count for much now if you don’t get to the finish line first; and Wing’s parent company doesn’t have the best reputation for finishing big projects like this. Like many tech companies, Alphabet tends to fund based not on need, but on what some executive believes in their gut is good enough — and often, it isn’t.

Besides, Amazon is closing fast and appears to be more aggressively looking at things like heavy-lift drones. Wing’s drones don’t have the carrying capacity for medium-sized appliances or a grocery cart — and there are other companies already experimenting with people-carrying drones which, like Uber cars, could also be used for delivery.

Wing has started strong, but we still have years to go before this race is decided, and they’ll have to run hard to beat the increasing number of competitors entering this segment.

I don’t get excited about TVs that much anymore, but there was time I spent US$7,500 for one of the first wall-mounted flat-screen Plasma TVs in the market — and it was only a 42-inch. It replaced a large CRT that sat on the floor and looked a ton better. Since then, flat TVs have become common, and as we raised resolution, the content didn’t keep up well, and excitement dwindled.

Well, Xiaomi may have just changed this with its Mi TV LUX. This TV looks like a plate of clear glass when it’s off, and then it performs just like a flat-screen TV when turned on. The base houses the electronics, and it uses OLED technology, so it doesn’t need a light source. It should result in deeper blacks, but the bright display may offset that.

The Mi TV is as awe-inspiring to look at as was the first flat screen, with one big exception; it doesn’t obscure what’s behind it when it’s turned off. Now, if you are like me, when you look at what’s behind your TV, it isn’t that attractive — so you’d need to rethink TV placement. The Mi would do best as a TV in the middle of a room, or in place of a TV that obscures a window. Its transparent characteristic might stimulate some new ideas about where to situate a TV.

Mi TV LUX

I think this unit would work better as a monitor than it would a TV, because monitors are often placed on desks in open floor plan offices — at least before the pandemic. The ideal setting would be one where this TV/monitor is turned off, and clear. That would open the office up, or the user could blank the monitor and see who was on the other side of their desk, as needed. Think how cool this would look as a monitor on the desk of a receptionist, secretary or executive.

Ironically, given what I paid for my first flat-screen TV, this thing is $7K at 55-inches, so rather expensive for its size. But if you have a yacht with a view, want to impress your clients, or want something that will have your guests catch their breath, well the Xiaomi Mi TV Lux is my product of the week. (Don’t tell my wife, she’ll take away my credit card again.) Oh, and it could be perfect for watching virtual events in your office — though, if you turned this into a window, it could be even more interesting!

Future of Co-Working

I start out most days with a few emails, then breakfast for the boys, then setting up their iPads so they can e-learn which always turns into movie time at some point. It’s the only way I can get dedicated time to accomplish my tasks and take calls. At various points through out the day, I am interrupted to troubleshoot their technical issues, handle their “school from home” concerns, and address their growling bellies. Sometimes I feel it’s not so different than when I’m at the office. That got me thinking… what will all the new norms be with my ability to work, and our capability to provide a safe working environment to our members at Collective Ventures?

As an owner of a co-working & collaborative space in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale, FL… I have been struggling with the thought of what the future of my business would be post Covid. We’ve been closed for 3 months, and our members have been focused on their health and families as they navigate this new normal. This new normal may impact my business significantly if no one wants to come back for months or longer. What can we do to pivot, how do we navigate WFH (Work From Home) as a co-working space, and how do we still remain a resource for our members?

For now, figuring out how to work from home effectively has become a challenge for some, but a success story for others. Implementing any large change to your life or business is a daunting task. One of my first companies was an EMR software that would enhance a Physician’s ability to manage medical records electronically and make their lives much easier. Implementing the solution and the ramp up time for staff to learn how to use the product took time. It’s one of the many reasons EMR adoption was so slow.

But because Covid put everyone on notice immediately, we had no choice but to learn how to adapt. Most of us work from home now, often times with our families in tow, and many of us with kids to home school. We don’t have our typical resources, or teams. We end up with many distractions but must function as if nothing was wrong. And here’s the thing… after our own implementation period, we’ve gotten very good at it. Productivity reports from many large companies show no drop in productivity. In fact we are seeing the opposite. Employees are given time to work at their own pace and in their own time slots, and we are seeing better results. Just one caveat… some employees don’t know how to make the distinction between work time and family/self-time, and are overworking. But companies are trying to find balance by providing additional days off, counseling, or other strategies.

So what now with offices?

Many companies are saving Hundreds of Thousands to Millions on their overhead costs yearly. It’s tough to go back. Those funds can be spent to acquire more clients, or increase staff salary. Huge positives to the P&L statements and growth of your brand.

Many companies realize there is no reason to have their employees come to work outside of having some control over them. They believed that if those employees got to work from home, they wouldn’t work. That was proven wrong. This has even increased their efforts to hire virtual assistants and staff, and outsource work to other parts of the country or other countries all together.

The tech finally accommodates this. With a hybrid of Phones/Email/Teams/Slack/Zoom/Citrix or some combo of those utilities, all work can get done. We all have faster internet at home, and even with tethering, we can manage to get by with fast cellular service and the mini computers we call cell phones. It took a bit of getting used to, but we are there now.

Companies that typically show off space like Legal, Financial firms, Creative Agencies are finding a way to work without it. The results are the milestones clients want to see. Not that there is a ping pong table at your office, or the board room has the best tech and is stocked with Fiji water.

Even Law is being practiced over Zoom, and everyone is okay with it. If the Judge is cool with it, who are we to disagree.

Many companies have already taken a long term stance on it. Facebook, Twitter, Google and many others have already opted for WFH forever for the staff that want it. Some like Twitter and others are making it a company wide mandate. Others like Google are providing cash bonuses to work from home so their employees can build out custom home offices.

We’re going to have to get used to this new norm for traditional businesses. Of course hospitality, retail, and a few others will have to go back to business as normal in some capacity. But for many firms, this is life altering. It is going to be tough to work in open space areas with so much uncertainty about our health. Teams will feel comfortable working with each other, although some with trepidation. With so many unknowns about this disease and future iterations of it, we have to find new norms, and we have to think quick.

Commercial property is tanking in most places, and will continue to do so. Rents will become cheaper. Many companies are leaving the city and going into suburbia. There are going to be many new alternatives to choose from. Large spaces will break their space into smaller offices. Retail spaces will become open for more creative companies, and so on.

Boutique offices: I think large companies will opt for smaller boutique offices to use for large meetings, to show off to potential clients and for creative sessions. Saving so much from their old office space will allow them to do more with a smaller space. Add additional screens, and Gigabit internet speeds, additional services staff etc.

Private offices in shared spaces: Co-working spaces like mine will have to adapt to become mini offices for companies instead of open space arenas for the individual or sole proprietor. Those folks for the most part have found new ways to function as they built out their own private offices at home. This can be a great option for companies that have downsized but need dedicated space somewhere.

Timesharing office space: I feel that some companies that have similar offerings may be able to get away with time sharing space. Use it when you land a large client, host large conferences, conduct large think tanks etc. Why pay full price for something you may not use all the time, and your staff won’t want to drive to unless mandated. With shared resources, front desk staff, mailing services etc, this could be an option.

Spaced out options: Some companies may need their staff onsite, and to truly accommodate social distancing they may need much larger spaces. Floors will be available, and I’m sure they will find this option doable.

Our plan:

-Go back to a private office only structure, with a social distanced cafe. -Implement cleaning strategies to ensure the health and safety of our guests. -Look to partner with cities that want to reinvigorate the local small business economy. -Focus on complimentary services that help all our members grow their businesses. -Focus on resources to help invest in our co-workers, and their brands. -Implement all in one tools to help startups function without having to sign up for many services, most of which they may not know how to use, or implement. -Teach our members how to increase efficiency with less. …

So what happens when the world gets back to normal? I don’t think the shift will change that fast. Entrepreneurs are saving money, being more efficient. Office and overhead is not were they want to spend it. Acquiring new clients is. Paying themselves and their staff more money is.

Employees are realizing what matters, spending time with their loved ones, zooming to stay in touch, enhancing their life skills, and picking up new hobbies. They have built out incredible home offices, with all the tools they need at their disposal, but friendly enough to accommodate their kids, pets, or spouse. They are saving a tremendous amount on commuting and eating out, and found ways to become more efficient. I can’t count the amount of my friends that have had new kids, or adopted pets during this quarantine. When we open up, they’ll spend physical time with loved ones, and enjoy the many experiences like dining together, dancing, and the much need travel we’ve been limited to.

As I finish this post, my youngest came up to me sipping his coffee(chocolate milk) and asked me to me to charge his iPad, and help him open up some cookies. How could I refuse. He thinks he’s working like his dad. Looks like I am co-working after all. Just a different set of entrepreneurs and dreamers alongside me. This unfortunate & untimely disease gave us no choice but to implement our new work-routine… and we may be better off for it.
