Status Report on European Telework Status Report on European Telework New Methods of Work 1999 New Methods of Work 1999 European Telework AC990518 Telework99.doc, August 1999 Latest version available on-line: http://www.eto.org.uk 2 New Methods of Work 1999 European Telework Foreword More then 9 million Europeans now telework on the threshold of the 3rd Millennium. This everyday use of new technologies at work goes hand in hand with the recognition that for many organisations human resources have become their greatest asset. The need to enhance the flexibility of the organisation and the individual by bringing work to people rather than people to work goes hand in hand with the individual’s concern to improve the quality of life. The pace of change is now extraordinary. The widely available evidence of the high speed of uptake of, for instance, GSM phones and Internet, both facilitators of telework, is now supported by the results of a European-wide survey of more then 7,000 households and more then 4,000 business decision makers in 10 Member States.1 This confirms the forecast of the High Level Group under the chairmanship of former Commissioner Bangemann responsible for the report “Europe towards the Information Society” in 1995. Whereas change in working practices was initially slow, innovations and improvements in supporting technologies and deregulation of telecommunications have now created circumstances that make it possible for many people to work in new ways. The exponential growth of telework in Europe is reflected in and supported by the mainstreaming of support for adaptation to an Information Society in European Research and Structural Funds. This publication includes updated information on the latest developments and initiatives, in European Research Programmes, Structural Funds and the support measures for Trans European Networks. It also contains the highlights of the European benchmarking survey, illustrated by country overviews of main issues in telework uptake. You can find reports from previous years, as well as the latest version of the most recent report, on http://www.eto.org.uk. Telework is not an objective in itself, but an indicator of changes in all aspects of working life and a convenient focus for understanding them. Business and social dialogue is now focusing on the issues raised by telework, and this will continue to be stimulated by the European Commission. The annual European Assemblies on “New Ways to Work”2, and European Telework Week3 will provide important opportunities for debate and for widening the general awareness of new possibilities. Telework is gradually becoming a normal way of working for most Europeans at some stage in their working life. Your active contribution to research, debate and actual uptake, at whatever level, is important to maximising the opportunities for sustainable improvement to European competitiveness and the quality of our working lives. The views expressed in this document are those of the numerous contributing authors, not necessarily of the Commission itself. Peter Johnston Maarten Botterman 1 ECaTT project, see section 3.1.1 2 6th European Assembly Making telework work for all, 22 –24 September 1999, Aarhus (DK) and 7th European Assembly Working in the 3rd Millennium, September 2000, London (UK) 3 European Telework Week: Work in the Information Society, 1st week of November, http://www.etw.org 3 New Methods of Work 1999 European Telework 4 New Methods of Work 1999 European Telework Acknowledgements The preparation of this document has involved a large number of people, both within the European Commission, and in other organisations.

By becoming a mainstream practice, it is now even more urgent for European governments, enterprises and individuals to recognise and respond to the impact that freedom from the constraints of time and place on work and a change in working culture is having on our economy and society, as well as on working and private lives. It is important that we make every effort to better understand where these developments are taking us, and where we wish ourselves to go, in order to exploit the new opportunities for ensuring greater competitiveness at the same time as we improve the quality of working lives. Telework was, ten years ago, a peculiar way of working engaged in only by a technological elite, but this has since been transformed into a practice which has become an accepted way of working widely practised in at least some Member States and some important economic sectors.

    Press Information Contact Triumph International Name Surname Tel: +xx (x) xx xxxx-xxxx Mail: name.surname@triumph .com Triumph Inspiration Award 2010 “Shape Sensation” is the new design challenge for young designers in the third year of the worldwide lingerie design competition Munich, 26.04.2010 For the third year, Triumph International, one of the world’s leading lingerie and shapewear brands, invites young students from world-renown fashion schools to prove their creativity in an international design contest of the highest calibre. The winning designs from 27 countries will need to impress a prestigious international jury at the grand final, this year held in the fashion metropolis of London, as well as the worldwide online community at www.triumph-inspiration-award.com . By interpreting the design theme “Shape Sensation”, upcoming talent will take centre stage with their multinational view of shapes and silhouettes in the Triumph Inspiration Award 2010. This year, for the first time, a one-piece may be entered instead of only a two-piece bra and briefs, but the big goal remains the same: the young designers must win over the jury with the inspiration and creativity of their unique showpiece. “Shaping women with lingerie that brings out the best in them while praising and encouraging their uniqueness is at the core of our business. We are excited to see which facets of shape fascinate young creatives from across the world”, says Suzanne McKenna, Triumph´s Global Brand Manager. Again, prize money temptingly awaits the winner of the Award. The first prize is 15,000 Euro, while the second and third place winners will receive 10,000 Euro and 5,000 Euro respectively.

  • M&S: Lingerie
    M&S: Lingerie Providing secret support since 1926 1926 We introduced our first bras, designed to suit the ideal of a flatter chest and boyish figure, fashions that were all the rage in the 1920s. As well as bras we sold garters, directoire knickers, sanitary belts and free-run bodices. White cotton and rayon bra, 1920s Ref: T81/18 1932 We sold corsetry and uplifting brassieres advertised with the slogan ‘A perfect figure guaranteed’. These new styles suited the changing trend for ‘lift and separation’. Advert from ‘The Marks and Spencer Magazine’, Christmas 1932 1941-1945 All clothing during the war had to adhere to Utility standards, due to the shortages posed by wartime conditions. Clothing had to meet the Government’s regulations, and we developed a Utility lingerie range that was not only functional but attractive. Satin bra with Utility label, c1943 Ref: T1941/5 1951-1953 We developed our bra sizes to include three cup sizes; small, medium and large. This was inspired by American lingerie and allowed the bras to fit a greater proportion of women. In 1953 we sold 125,000 brassieres per week. Advert showing range of bra sizes, St Michael News, 1953 St Michael News, Jan 1958 1953 We started selling bras aimed at teenagers and younger women. Light, simple styles such as the brief brassiere were designed for the more ‘youthful figure’. In 1953 we sold 25% of the nation’s total sales in knitted vests. Women’s knitted vests were only available in two sizes; medium and large. St Michael News, Sep 1958 1955 We sold elastic high line girdles, which provided more support, and ensured ‘spare tyres, [and] ungainly bulges are eliminated’.

  • Impact of Tight-Fitting Underwear on Microclimate, Ph and Microflora
    Acta Derm Venereol 2005; 85: 118–122 INVESTIGATIVE REPORT The Vulvar Skin Microenvironment: Impact of Tight-fitting Underwear on Microclimate, pH and Microflora Bo RUNEMAN1,4,Go¨ran RYBO2, Ulla FORSGREN-BRUSK4, Olle LARKO¨ 1, Peter LARSSON3 and Jan FAERGEMANN1 Departments of 1Dermatology, 2Obstetrics and Gynaecology and 3Clinical Bacteriology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and 4SCA Hygiene Products AB, Go¨teborg, Sweden The aim of the present study was to investigate if tight- fitting underwear (string panties) equipped with string panty liners affected the vulvar skin microenvironment differently to regular panties with standard panty liners. Thirty-two healthy women participated in a crossover study where temperature, humidity, surface pH and aerobic microflora were measured on vulvar skin. Vulvar skin temperature was 35.2¡0.19 (mean¡SEM) and 35.3¡0.17˚C, respectively, for the two underwear systems. Mean humidity and mean skin surface pH at vulvar skin did not differ between the two systems. Barely noticeable differences were found for the aerobic micro- flora both at labium majus and at perineum. The mean total number of microorganisms in the two different panty liners was the same, 6.0¡0.15 and 6.0¡0.16, respectively Fig. 1. Design of the panty and panty liners. Regular model to the left and string model to the right. (log CFU per panty liner). The differences in panty and panty liner design studied seem to have negligible impact the tight fit may render the wearer more prone to on the vulvar skin microclimate, skin surface pH and contamination of the vulvar microflora with micro- aerobic microflora.

  • Lingerie Providing Secret Support Since 1926 1926 We Opened Our Drapery Department, Which Included Clothing As Well As Lingerie
    M&S: Lingerie Providing secret support since 1926 1926 We opened our Drapery Department, which included clothing as well as lingerie. Our first bras were designed to provide the flatter chest and boyish figure popular at the time. Our lingerie range included garters, directoire knickers, sanitary belts and free- run bodices. The oldest bra in the Archive collection dates from the late 1920s – it offered a low level of support whilst giving the wearer a smooth silhouette. White cotton and rayon bra, c1928, Ref: T81/18 Window display of artificial silk lingerie, 1937 1930s The most popular fabric for lingerie during the 1930s and 1940s was artificial silk, or rayon as it was known - an early synthetic fibre made with cellulose from wood pulp. The fabric was seen as a more affordable alternative to silk, and a more luxurious option than cotton, linen or wool. 1932 We sold corsetry and uplifting brassieres advertised with the slogan ‘A perfect figure guaranteed’. These new styles suited the changing trend for ‘lift and separation’. Hook-sided girdles gave ‘that slim silhouette demanded by present fashions’. Advert from ‘The Marks and Spencer Magazine’, 1932 1939 Stock control documents show that by 1939 we were selling at least 30 styles of bras – most were available in white or peach, sometimes blue. Styles included ‘rubber reducing brassieres’ and an Outsize range Advert from ‘The Marks and Spencer Magazine’, 1932 1941-1945 During the war, austerity measures and the Utility Scheme meant designers had to work harder to continue making attractive yet practical garments. Despite this, we were still able to produce glamorous lingerie.

  • Registration No. 2886923 England the Triumph
    REGISTRATION NO. 2886923 ENGLAND REGISTERED OFFICE: 9 WATER TOWER CLOSE, UXBRIDGE, MIDDX UB8 1XS http://www.trocltd.com (Affiliated to the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs) THE TRIUMPH RENOWN LIMOUSINE by Tom Robinson ‘Never did like the blxxxdy things’, and with that stark comment, the one-time chief stylist of Standard Triumph, Walter Belgrove, turned on his heels after looking at a Renown limousine and went back into his retirement bungalow, leaving me standing on his doorstep. Perhaps I should rewind the tape to fill in the background to this comment. Many years ago- the late seventies, or thereabouts, a car rally entitled STIR [Standard Triumph International Rally] was held every other year in the Midlands area and on one occasion it was thought most appropriate to invite Walter Belgrove, the alleged [by some] chief designer behind our cars, and that he be brought from Barnstaple to the Rally. The most appropriate car? – A Triumph Renown limousine, of course. In those early days of the Club we were fortunate in having a limousine [TDC 2017] in our midst and this car was then owned by an active member in Cornwall, it seemed only natural that if the car was coming to STIR, then Barnstaple was not out of the way en route. Carrying a Coventry registration, LVC 313, this car when new was most likely to have been owned by Standard Triumph which made it even more of an appropriate choice. As a way of mentioning this idea to him, Walter Belgrove had made an appointment for the owner and me to call and introduce ourselves and explain our intentions.
