"During the global coronavirus pandemic, China built dozens of makeshift hospitals and state quarantine centers, some out of steel container boxes. They became closely associated with the anxiety of mass testing and the fear of sudden lockdowns.

Now, cities are turning the huge centers into affordable housing units for young workers in an attempt to revive the country's economy post-COVID...

Just over a year ago, these apartments were used very differently: for medical triage and quarantine facilities. Beijing alone built 23 of these makeshift facilities, designed to hold up to 23,000 people at a time.

"It was not very cold yet but they told me to pack my belongings," remembers Hudson Li, a Beijing resident who was quarantined in one of these facilities, called fangcang in Chinese, in October 2022...

Less than two months after Li was quarantined, Beijing lifted most of its COVID restrictions. Li says he still associates the fangcang with a feeling of helplessness and fear: "It has been over a year already, but I definitely have PTSD from the pandemic, from the fear of scarcity and having to stock up on a lot of medicine and food."

Attracting young tenants with low rents

Now the fangcang across the country are undergoing a minor transformation and turned into apartment units for young graduates like Li. The changes are an effort from local authorities, who have been tasked with restarting economic growth and supporting small businesses after nearly three years of ruinous lockdowns.

Populous cities like Beijing are also trying to bridge the housing affordability gap between high real estate prices and low salaries, on average, for young workers. In the northeast corner of the capital city, near its airport, one fangcang with more than 4,900 units has been rebranded the "Jinzhan Colorful Community" — a reference to the bright hues of paint — and now offers amenities like a canteen where residents can grab a cheap meal before or after work.

Another fangcang facility, in the northeastern city of Jinan, has been turned into 650 units for skilled workers inside an industrial park.

"Given that the current overall [COVID] epidemic situation in the country has entered a low level, revitalizing the fangcang for other housing purposes is worth learning and thinking about all over the country," Yan Yuejin, a housing analyst, told Chinese media.

The fangcang, once a symbol of containment, are now supposed to represent dynamism and growth.

"I have complex feelings about this. The facilities were built using public funds and not rented out transparently," Li says. "But I do have to say you will not get anything more affordable than these apartments. They are very price competitive."

A list of rental prices for a Beijing fangcang converted into apartments shows most rooms are Rmb1200 (USD $170) a month, low for Beijing."

Progress: Chapter One Complete (Marth Embarks)

This wasn't how I was planning to start this post, but RIP Billy Kametz. Who I'm not familiar with yet... But I opened up my browser to come here and write this post and one of the top news stories was that a Fire Emblem VA had died. (It was colon cancer, if anyone is wondering, and apparently he was only 35, which is terrifying.) He voiced Ferdinand Von Aegir in Three Houses and Heroes. And it's probably going to be a while before I get to either of those games, but thank you for your work, sir.

The way I was originally planning to start this wasn't terribly uplifting either... I've been crazy busy lately. Literally half my department is out with Covid, so I've been doing nothing but work... And so it's been a few weeks since I played the prologue.

Because of that, I gave myself some lenience that I'm going to try to avoid, going forward. I actually restarted chapter one twice... Because I accidently killed Princess Caeda twice before even getting out of that first little peninsula the battle starts you out on... I'd forgotten some of the mechanics... namely how to heal... But there won't be any more of that, going forward. In fact, if I'd known chapter one was just this one battle, I probably would have let her stay dead. But I thought there was a lot more to go and I'd already lost a party member when I'd just started... Well. It's in the past now.

I don't think Caeda gets to come with me anyway, being the princess and whatnot. I'm hoping I get to keep Draug. (Though I think he was her personal guard or something.) Maybe it's not the most exciting playstyle, but I'm generally a fan of characters who are heavy on defense or can attack from a distance. So Norne is growing on me. I didn't really get to use Gordin before he died in the prologue, so she's my first experience with an archer. And I can tell Wrys is going to be a favorite, simply because he can heal the others. You have no idea how disappointed I was to learn that the vulnerary can only be used to heal the character holding it.

But yeah, other than some new character additions and a growing attachment to certain characters, (Frey took down the boss with what I believe was the first critical hit I've seen) there's really not much more to say. Chapter One was really short. I'll be interested to see if they're all just one battlefield chapters.

(And did Caeda catch anyone else off guard at first? They'd just been talking about how Marth was worrying for the sister he'd left behind... and then she shows up, looking like she could be Marth's twin!)

Self-Healing Networks Market to surpass USD 10 Bn by 2032

Self-Healing Networks Market is projected to cross USD 10 Bn by 2032. Automating routine manual operations with network automation tools helps lower the potential for human error and optimize network functionality. Additionally, these tools also assist in optimizing and extending network operations by minimizing configuration errors.

Overall, the self-healing networks industry is segmented in terms of component, deployment, application, end-use and region.

Request for Sample Copy report @ https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/5496

Based on component, the services segment will be in huge demand by 2032. The segmental growth can be credited to the mounting adoption of self-healing network services to offer a suitable platform to run and support their applications. These services include planning, design, equipment installation, training, commissioning, testing, network optimization, maintenance, post-implementation support, and root cause analysis.

By deployment, the on-premises deployment segment is anticipated to be valued at over USD 1.5 billion by 2032. The increasing shift of companies from the traditional approach of the healing network to automated self-healing networks based purely on cloud computing services such as PaaS and SaaS will positively favor the industry outlook.

Considering the application, the network traffic management segment is slated to grow considerably. Mounting demand for network traffic analysis solutions reduces the number of decryption methods that security professionals can access without knowing the privacy implications. In addition to changing business dynamics, data security has become a critical part of every business and network analytics helping end users analyze threats will positively favor segment expansion.

Request for customization this report @ https://www.gminsights.com/roc/5496

In terms of end-use, the IT and ITES industry held 15% market share in 2022. A self-healing network helps monitor the internet to detect failures and IT automation to restart it. Most importantly, self-healing networks help resolve the problem immediately and quickly without any intervention.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific self-healing network industry will showcase sturdy growth through 2032 owing to the increasing penetration of higher mobile data transfer rates and the strategic surge in LTE network deployments and upcoming 5G networks. Besides, growing presence of prominent players that are constantly expanding the market presence through collaborations will favor the business growth in the region.

New Post has been published on All about business online

New Post has been published on http://yaroreviews.info/2022/12/worst-month-for-strikes-in-more-than-10-years

Worst month for strikes in more than 10 years

PA Media

By Dearbail Jordan

Business reporter, BBC News

The number of working days lost to strikes in October reached the highest in more than a decade, according to official figures.

Some 417,000 working days were lost because of labour disputes in October 2022 – the highest since November 2011.

The UK has been hit by widespread industrial action this year as workers walkout over pay and conditions.

Another set of strikes by rail workers is starting on Tuesday.

Overall, the total number of working days that have been lost to people walking out in disputes since June – when the ONS restarted collecting data following Covid – reached 1.2 million days. It is the worst five months since April 1990.

The UK’s biggest rail union – the RMT – has held a series of strikes since the summer that have shut much of the rail network in England, Scotland and Wales and threaten to hit businesses in the run-up to Christmas.

It comes as workers in many other industries down tools, with bus drivers, Royal Mail workers, nurses and highways workers and baggage handlers also striking this week.

The strikes taking place in December

When are the train strikes and what is the dispute about?

Many public sector workers are taking action over pay, arguing that the rises they are being offered fall far short of the rising cost of living.

Separate figures from the ONS revealed that a wide gap remained between wage growth in the public and private sectors in the August to October period.

Public sector wages rose at an annual pace of 2.7%, while those in the private sector were awarded an average increase of 6.9%.

The ONS said: “This is the largest growth rate seen for the private sector and is among the largest differences between the private sector and public sector growth rates we have seen.”

Both, however, remain far below the rate at which prices are rising – known as inflation – which has hit 11.1%, the fastest pace in more than 40 years.

The ONS said that overall, regular pay grew by 6.1% in the three months to October. But taking inflation into account, wages fell by 2.7%.

Sam Beckett, head of economic statistics at the Office for National Statistics, said that the sectors that have been hardest hit by strike action are transport and storage as well as information and communications.

“That’s been largely driven by the rail and mail strikes,” she told the BBC’s Today programme.

Workers at Royal Mail who are members of the CWU union will take further strike action on Wednesday and Thursday this week. This will be followed by further walkouts on Christmas Eve.

Ms Beckett said it was difficult at this stage to assess how industrial action has affected the wider economy.

“We haven’t really seen the influence of that in our GDP statistics yet. It is too early to say how it will hit the economy more broadly,” she said.

Why are prices rising so much?

Overall, the unemployment rate rose to 3.7%. The number of job vacancies also fell, down 65,000 in September to November, which was the fifth consecutive fall for this measure.

Ms Beckett said the decline was a sign the jobs market “could be starting to soften a little” and an indication that some businesses were “were starting to pull some of their vacancies because they are reducing activity”.

However, despite the fall, the ONS said job vacancies still remained close to historically high levels, with nearly 1.2 million roles available

There was also a decline in the number of people classed as economically inactive, which is those who are not in employment and have not sought work in the past few weeks. The most notable drop was among those aged between 50 and 64.

Jack Kennedy, UK economist at recruitment firm Indeed, said there was “evidence of some people returning to the labour force from retirement”.

“That may be an early sign of cost-of-living pressures prompting some people to rethink their plans,” he said.

But overall, inactivity remains more than 560,000 higher than pre-pandemic levels and continues to fuel recruitment challenges across a range of sectors, said Mr Kennedy.

Perhaps the most interesting statistic in these job numbers – and the most telling for the future of industrial relations – is the enormous gap between public and private sector wage growth.

While private sector pay growth is still failing to match inflation, private pay packages are rising at 6.9% with public sector miles behind at 2.7%, which is one of the biggest gaps ever seen.

That will add tension to pay disputes where the government is the employer or sets the parameters for pay discussions.

Private companies can afford to slim down their ambitions and pay fewer people more – which is not an option in the NHS.

The numbers bear this out. Vacancies in hospitality are down 11%, whereas vacancies are almost unchanged in public administration and have gone up in education.

This elastic band must surely break at some point. More workers will leave the public sector, jeopardising key services or the government will have to buckle and agree to higher pay awards. It feels like something’s got to give at some point.

Jarrod Ayling, chief executive of Purple Jay Nurseries in south east London, said that despite putting up wages by 16% he is still having problems finding staff.

“It’s extremely hard to get staff at the moment because the early years workforce has been depleted since Brexit and Covid so increasing the wage has increased the number of staff applying, but it’s still slim,” he said.

Mr Ayling said he had raised wages because workers were struggling with the cost of living, with some asking for advances to make ends meet.

Kai Clarke, who works at Purple Jay Nurseries’ Lambeth branch, said she was grateful for the 16% pay rise, but added: “Now it’s like we’ve broken even because the salary has gone up but so have the bills.

“I would say that I’m happy and I’m grateful but the excitement has worn off because I’ve noticed it is all going into the bills. Even simple things like juice, milk and butter have gone up.”

Mr Ayling said raising wages would have “a massive impact on my costs but I think it’s needed because of the supply and demand situation”.

AFM Looking to Restart the Indie Industry Post-Pandemic – The Hollywood Reporter

As the independent movie world returns to Santa Monica for the 2022 American Film Market (Nov. 1-6) this week, it is with the air of a surgeon checking out a long-ailing parent. The cinema business, suspended on life support for the past two years due to COVID restrictions, is still far from healthy. Studio blockbusters — the Top Guns, Minions and superhero tentpoles of this world — have done…

Dental Clinics In Hyderabad

Your toothache may have to wait longer before a dentist can fix it. Although some dentists have restarted their practice, they only provide patient services and do not perform surgery. However, most dentists remain concerned about the spread of COVID-19 and have yet to return to work dental clinics in hyderabad.

Even those who opened the practice are now considering closing the practice again after a dentist who resumed practice at HSR Layout three days ago tested positive for COVID-19.

"Infected dentists have sparked phobia psychosis in the community. We are afraid to restart our practice," said the esteemed Sudarshan Sajjan. Secretary, Bangalore Branch, Indian Dental Association.

“As respiratory and saliva droplets are one of the main sources of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, our work presents a huge risk of contracting infection. We cannot escape contact with saliva droplets. Stay social Distance doesn't make any sense in a dental office, dental hospital near me. " he said.

The few people who have started cultivating again are also a little worried today. A. Yeshwanth, a dentist for a chain of dental clinics in the city, said that while they are not doing any procedures involving the use of aerosols (air and water hoses used in dental procedures) because it spreads droplets, they are doing their best Try to take precautions otherwise.

“All dentists and their assistants wear personal protective equipment (PPE) suits when seeing patients. Disinfection of the patient’s body, especially the mouth with disinfectant, temperature checks with a heat gun and a detailed medical history are some other measures,” he explained Say.

The Dental Council of India issued a detailed advisory on May 7, classifying dental issues as urgent, urgent and recommending against performing any procedures involving the use of aerosols. This essentially rules out root canals, implants and most other surgical procedures, disappointing many patients.

“I had the first few root canals in March, but before the surgery was done, the blockade started. The dentist told me to wait until things subsided, and it didn’t even seem to happen two months later,” said Meera C., a resident of Malleshpalya. .

Dr. Sajjan has not resumed his practice. "I have posted my contact number on the door of the clinic. Anyone can call me. I opened the clinic twice during the lockdown for emergency procedures. But for this, I have been online or over the phone Prescribe medication.

Most patients tell them they are in great distress and claim their condition is an emergency. But we are afraid of any procedure. Some dentists also ask for a COVID-19 test report before treating a patient,” he said.

The Bangalore Chapter of the Indian Dental Association has distributed over 5,000 PPE kits to dentists. "Out of the nearly 1,500 dentists in the city, I think less than 20 percent of them have a shop," he said. IDA Bangalore has also approached the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for relief packages, which include subsidies for personal protective equipment kits, dental equipment, tax relief and minimum income support schemes. "Dental clinics are by nature small businesses, and more than two months of lockdown has pushed most of them to the brink. We need to pay salaries and rents that many cannot dental hopsital hyderbad cope with," Dr Sajjan said.

Post Covid Real Estate Market

2020 was one of the most challenging years for humans. Covid-19 was an unexpected wave in the world. It halts the world for some time and changes the way of living. It changed the way of human living, eating and all. Slowly and slowly we took back to track. But it causes many changes and it also slows down many growing sectors. The economy, throughout the world, was affected. But now things are becoming normal says ‘Nima Bendavood’.

Real Estate Investment Volume during a Covid Situation

During the covid-19 situation, where everyone was trying to save themselves by living as much as possible in their home, the global real estate volume fell by more than 30%. If we talk about Europe, then this volume was 22%. Spain was in the first place with 55%. After all these up and down now the situations in real estate are becoming normal. Real estate marketing has adopted new techniques which help them to normalize the situations.

In this topic, Nima Bendavood will discuss some of the terms and techniques which will play important role in the real estate business after Covid situations. If you are new in the real estate field or thinking to jump into this field after the Covid wave, then this topic is very helpful to you.

Maintain Your Cash Flow:

Cash flow is an important term in the real estate field. Cash of flow is the amount of profit you earned after paying all operating expenses. Cash flow creates more opportunities to grow financial resources. Covid 19 taught us the importance of financial security. Cash flow creates safety. This extra money can be used to face unexpected expenses like a hospital, medicine, or any other maintenance work.

Adopt The New Technology Environment In The Real Estate Field:

Covid has changed the lifestyle of humans. This wave alerts the human. We can adopt these changes with the proper use of technology. The use of artificial intelligence is playing important role in real estate. AI technology is used by the property manager and property buyer to store more data. Investors and owners are giving more preference to automate marketing, property management, and online payment. AI technology has changed the structure of working in the real estate field. If you are thinking to restart your real estate business, then start it with the use of the latest technology environment. Learn how to use these technologies in real estate. This is the fastest and most accurate way to store data as well as utilize real estate data.

Final Thought:

Nima Bendavood: Covid 19 has put an impact on every business. Real estate is also one of them. But slowly and slowly situations are becoming normal. To adapt to the new environment we need to do some changes according to the situation. Adopting new technology and keeping another important point in mind can help to run the real estate business smoothly. Don’t panic and hesitate to start your business in real estate after Covid situations. Almost every sector was affected by Covid. But now situations are becoming normal.
