Vacations and cruises cancelled, all the major league sports cancelled, the airline industry reduced to the bare minimum. Luckily, I have not heard of many pilots or flight attendants contracting COVID19. Hopefully as we start to reopen the USA things will bounce back. The airlines at present are running at full capacity but with several restrictions. Now is the time to plan ahead. We have a RNPA cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines next April.

  • Challenges and Opportunities for the Manmade Fiber Industry Page 8
    the experts' magazine No. 34 | october 2020 Challenges and opportunities for the manmade fiber industry page 8 Factory know-how from a single source page 14 // editorial Dear Customers, dear Readers, Do you also greet people with an elbow bump? This form of greeting has meanwhile become a global symbol of our absolute determination to stay in contact with others and be active despite the risk of infection. This resolve is reflected in our own measures for dealing with the coronavirus pandemic as well as the unswerving, long-term master plans of major manmade fiber manufacturers, which are also securing our commercial stability. More on this topic in the interview on the following pages. We are also trying to do an elbow bump greeting with our customer publication here. As we are unable to meet up at our trade fair stand, this magazine provides a safe and socially- distanced tour of our exhibition topics that we had planned to present at the now postponed ITMA Asia. Needless to say, digitalization and automation technologies play important roles, as they will help us through these difficult times – both now and in the future. In this edition, you will also be able to read about sustainability and innovations focusing on clean technologies and ‘zero waste’ for energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly manufacturing. Because it is not just coronavirus that is tangibly changing the world we live in, so too is climate change. At the same time, we are leading the way towards our corporate mission: From Melt to Yarn, Fibers and Nonwovens. Along this stretch of the textile value chain, we have been striving for superlative quality for decades now – for fibers, yarns and hence all your textile products.

  • Media Release Public Health Association of Australia
    Media Release Public Health Association of Australia 22 July 2020 It’s time to make the handshake history: but what comes next? The outbreak of COVID-19 has shaken up our world in so many ways. The Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) is suggesting our most common greeting – the handshake - should be confined to history, in whatever our ‘new normal’ looks like post-pandemic. The first handshakes date back more than 2,000 years to ancient Greece, as a symbol of peace to show neither person was carrying a weapon. ‘Even before the arrival of coronavirus, there’s been a sense that the handshake may have had its day,’ said PHAA CEO Terry Slevin. ‘Most of us have been high-fiving for many years and in more recent times, we’ve seen even US President Obama adopt the uber-cool fist bump. ‘In these health conscious COVID-19 times, handshakes have been replaced by new meet and greet options. Our Prime Minister has led the way with his preferred elbow bump. Others test their balancing skills with a slightly awkward foot tap.’ Mr Slevin says he’s happy to lead the charge, and a national debate, on exactly what greeting Australians should adopt should we decide to retire the not-so-healthy handshake. ‘As we’ve emerged from lockdown and started returning to our workplaces, sporting venues and social meeting places, there’s a distinct nervousness and unease about how we should greet each other. ‘Confining the handshake to history makes good sense but humans like to adhere to social norms and we need to find a new common greeting as a popular substitute.

Many of these inventions fade away qUickly, but some stay around to become part of generally accepted English. Sometimes we can guess the date at which the word was introduced into English quite accurately. For example, the title Ms (as opposed to Miss or Mrs) originates in the fem­ inist movement following the Second World War. An edu­ cated guess might therefore put its first use in the 1960s. This is fairly close for its widespread adoption, although the title was first used in print in 1949. Similarly, is it possible to make an educated guess abo.ut when the 1914-18 world war was first termed the First World War? Clearly, during the actual war itself people did not know that it would be the first of two major conflicts.

To the Editor-in-Chief Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic began in China with a bunch of severe pneumonia cases, later identified to be caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 in December 2019. Thailand reported the primary COVID-19 case outside of China on 13th January 2020, Africa reported its first case in Egypt on 14th February 2020 and Nigeria reported its patient of COVID-19 on 27th February 2020. Virtually, all countries within the world are affected.1 Globally, countries and international organizations are putting efforts to halt the transmission of the disease by preventive measures, management protocols, research activities for definitive treatment and vaccines.1 The common principles in preventing and controlling infectious diseases are to eradicate the infection source, to cut off the transmission route, and to shield the susceptible population.2 Physical distancing is one of the measures being used to curtail the transmission of the virus. Transmission of COVID-19 by contact can occur when contaminated hands touch the mucosa of the eyes, nose or mouth.

It is a mixture of literature, technology, and a “place” for community to come together - all the things that make the Wellfleet Library special. We assumed that many of you were writing during this time of isolation; of frustration; of social injustice. When we put out the call for pieces, we did not know what we would receive. We received a bounty. We hope you enjoy our first issue. There will most certainly be more issues to follow. One thing is clear - people have something to say.
