The 'UK Youth Build-A-Plane' Project
TThhee ‘‘UUKK YYoouutthh BBuuiilldd--aa--PPllaannee’’ PPrroojjeecctt The ‘UK Youth Build-a-Plane’ Project is one of a number of educational initiatives developed by the Youth & Education Support Strut. The programme aims to develop practical aviation skills and knowledge in an audience of young people from all over the UK, with the help of the local PFA groups. THE PAST The ‘UK Youth Build a Plane Project’ was developed from an idea by Captain Stewart Luck, a professional airline pilot and a member of the Executive Committee of the Popular Flying Association (now the Light Aircraft Association, LAA), the representative body responsible in the United Kingdom for amateur aircraft construction, recreational and sport flying. The project was designed for young people from 11 to 18 years old to become involved practically in the 'Centennial of Powered Flight' in 2003 by building a RANS S6 kit aircraft. This was built in sections, by young people at Lisburn in Northern Ireland, Mold in Wales, Perth in Scotland and Manchester in England under the qualified supervision of LAA (formerly PFA) engineering inspectors as part of this nationwide community project. To ensure the success of this potential logistical nightmare, the UK Distributor of the RANS S6 aircraft, Gordon McDill of Sports Air UK Ltd, divided the aircraft kit into 4 parts and issued a step-by-step project construction manual per build team, before shipping them to the respective teams, under the tutelage and supervision of their leaders and local PFA Inspectors. Of course getting the continued focus of the young people was a challenge – with schoolwork, exams and family commitments – but they proved themselves worthy of the project. -

Ideal Homes? Social Change and Domestic Life
IDEAL HOMES? Until now, the ‘home’ as a space within which domestic lives are lived out has been largely ignored by sociologists. Yet the ‘home’ as idea, place and object consumes a large proportion of individuals’ incomes, and occupies their dreams and their leisure time while the absence of a physical home presents a major threat to both society and the homeless themselves. This edited collection provides for the first time an analysis of the space of the ‘home’ and the experiences of home life by writers from a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, criminology, psychology, social policy and anthropology. It covers a range of subjects, including gender roles, different generations’ relationships to home, the changing nature of the family, transition, risk and alternative visions of home. Ideal Homes? provides a fascinating analysis which reveals how both popular images and experiences of home life can produce vital clues as to how society’s members produce and respond to social change.

WORKPLACE ISSUES and COVID-19 in ASIA-PACIFIC March 2020
WORKPLACE ISSUES AND COVID-19 IN ASIA-PACIFIC March 2020 Workplace Issues and COVID-19 in Asia-Pacific March 2020 Introduction The World Organisation (WHO) has now upgraded the status of the Covid-19 outbreak from epidemic to pandemic. It is a global health threat and is causing unprecedented disruption. Although many companies have business continuity plans in place, very few of these address the specific employment issues arising out of an outbreak of a virus like COVID-19 which appears to be highly contagious but generally symptomless early in the infection stage. This raises numerous workplace issues including: ▪ refusal to attend work ▪ enforced working from home ▪ sickness benefits during self-isolation ▪ workplace health and safety ▪ data privacy and confidentiality ▪ business travel restrictions ▪ discrimination Most countries now have mandatory quarantine requirements in place for anyone testing positive for the virus. Many governments are going further and imposing self-isolation or quarantine requirements for incoming travellers (irrespective of where they have travelled from) and restricting non-citizens / residents from entering their country. The public has have been advised not to travel unless it is essential. Many offices and business, particularly those in high risk jurisdictions, including Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore, have already introduced voluntary infection control measures such as requiring any employee who may have been exposed to anyone confirmed as having the virus, to work from home. However, even for those already making plans it appears that the spread of the virus is likely to outpace those preparations and employers need to be flexible and be prepared to react to the situation which is developing at an alarming pace. -
