Followers werent happy with the most up-to-date Grays Anatomy exit. In a weird ending to his lengthy storyline, Alex Karev skips city with out saying goodbye to anybody together with his spouse, Jo to maneuver to a farm in Kansas the place (shock!) Izzie had Alexs youngsters with out telling him. So in 4 separate letters, he says his goodbyes, proving that he could in truth be evil spawn in any case.

THE DISRESPECT FOR ALEX KAREV, SHONDA WTF ARE YOU DOING #GreysAnatomy, one fan tweeted. One other commented, Are you actually saying Justin Chambers is fully tremendous along with his character being butchered like this after years of doing this present? I AM MAD as hell at what they did to alex karev #GreysAnatomy.

The backlash was so sturdy, Ellen Pompeo took to Instagram to touch upon his exit, For me personally for Karev to return to the starting. was the very best storyline. It pays homage to these unbelievable first years and the unbelievable cast that created a basis so sturdy that the present is nonetheless standing.

It was introduced in January that Chambers, 49, was leaving the present after 15 years. Web page Six completely revealed at the time that Chambers, who mentioned he left to diversify my performing roles and profession decisions, was engaged on his psychological well being at Priv-Swiss, a luxurious rehab middle in Connecticut.

And regardless of followers begging Shonda Rhimes to not kill him off, following the episode, many wrote that they wished hed died versus the ending they gave him.

In an unique video, Chambers mentioned he was very excited for the subsequent chapter of his life and mentioned he hopes to get into producing documentaries in the future.

Grays has been very supportive of me and Im very grateful and its been an amazing trip, he mentioned.

The cast share their first photos of Greys Anatomy season 17 filming

Its been six months since production shut down on all TV shows and movies. Filming is starting up again, andGreys Anatomy season 17 is the latest TV show to start filming.

The cast took to Instagram and Twitter to share their selfies. Ellen Pompeo made it clear thatGreys Anatomy season 17 is dedicated to the healthcare workers. So many have lost their lives due to the coronavirus that it is only fitting that the series about doctors be dedicated to them.

Other cast members shared their selfies. Kelly McCreary put up a trailer selfie, commenting that its six months since she last acted. The last time she went that long without acting was in 1995. Is it like getting back on a bike?

Kevin McKidd opted for a simple one with him and Kim Raver. The two are dressed in scrubs, scrub caps, and in masks, although it doesnt look like theyre in the OR. They may be getting ready for an OR scene. The cast and crew will all need to wear masks when they are onset as part of the new health and safety regulations.

In fact, Pompeo led by example with the mask-wearing. She and co-star Richard Flood, who was promoted to series regular for the season. The two arent wearing scrub caps, which suggests theyre definitely not getting ready for OR scenes. Theyre just following health and safety guidelines in between takes.

This is a season that will include the coronavirus, too. The show is going to pick up in the middle of the fight, giving us a look at what live is like in the hospitals around the country.

The show isnt including the storyline to be disrespectful to those who have caught the virus and to the families grieving the losses due to the coronavirus. Instead, the focus is on what life is like. Medical dramas routinely raise awareness for medical concerns.

Greys Anatomy is certainly one of those shows. Theres been the awareness that womens health conditions are often overlooked, especially Black women. We got a look at the problems with insurance and people dying because they dont have coverage. There has also been awareness about mental health problems, including depression.

It only makes sense that the season will include something about the coronavirus.

We still dont know whenGreys Anatomy season 17 will premiere. Its slated for the fall and possibly will premiere in late October or November 2020. Its later than usual, but we know its going to be worth the wait.

Greys Anatomy season 17 begins filming, season dedicated to healthcare workers - Netflix Life

Vistara last week revealed its first in-flight safety video, which has been very well received and is going viral. The safety video is themed on yoga, which has an instructor showcasing various movements in picturesque offbeat locations across the length and breadth of India while giving inflight safety instructions.

While uniquely themed airline safety videos are not uncommon globally (for example, British Airways has had a long-running series featuring famous British comedians, and Qatar Airways has a star-studded football-themed video), and these videos have been proven to be more watched and therefore the safety message better communicated to those who tend to ignore the more staid safety demos and videos, this was a first for India. The fact that it starts with a visual of the spectacular and much-in-the-news Pangong Lake also led to some buzz.

The method behind the madness

The video however was scripted and shot much earlier in September last year and Pangong Lake was chosen as the opening scene simply because it is arguably the most visually spectacular place in India, a place I had personally fallen in love with since I first visited Leh in 2016, scoping it out for Vistaras operations to it that began shortly thereafter.

The team the conceptualised Vistaras safety video was also behind the very well-received and popular 'Vistara Retrojet', an Airbus A320 painted in the colours of the original Tata Air Lines of the 1940s that was founded by JRD Tata and eventually became Air India, and featuring on occasion crew dressed in retro-uniforms harking back to the glory days of flying of the 1950s and 1960s, on flights featuring menus inspired by Taj Hotels and JRD Tatas favourite meals as remembered by their chefs.

The attention to detail and authenticity went as far as the registration of the aircraft itself, VT-ATV, a registration that was originally carried by a Tata Air Lines DC3 aircraft. With no colour photos available anywhere of what the Tata Airlines colours were (other than a bare meal fuselage), the team used its creative imagination to come up with a golden-sepia tinted fuselage, with red lettering and grey cheatlines. The special retro flights became highly sought after, and together with the Retrojet, helped make Vistara into the much recognised, differentiated, and respected brand it is today.

The SpiceJet story

Earlier in 2014, (incidentally spearheaded by key members of the same marketing team that later moved to Vistara), SpiceJet had put faces of pilots and cabin crew billboard-style on a Boeing 737, which it named Red Chilli. This again was a first in India, and it created a lot of buzz as well as energised the staff internally. This was just a couple of months after SpiceJet surprised and delighted passengers on Holi by having supplementary (non-operating) cabin crew gracefully dance in the aisles to Balam Pichkari on several flights. This did initially get the airline in a spot of bother with the regulator because it had never been done in India before, but the matter was settled amicably when it was demonstrated that there was no safety issue, and that such activities were not uncommon on airlines around the world. The Holi dance made headline news for several days, and SpiceJet ticket sales went through the roof during that time, prompting a normally staid finance executive to ask whether we could make the crew dance on every flight.

Jokes aside, there is a very clear and driven rationale and focus behind such disruptive and eye-ball catching marketing. It boils down to the need to be able to build a brand that punches above its weight, to help make up for size and scale disadvantage a brand may have vis-a-viz the market leader. Building a differentiated brand with high recall value also generates pull, giving customers a reason other than just price to select a product or an airline, and perhaps even pay a slight premium for it. To put it simply, the return-on-investment for such initiatives in terms of goodwill (both internal and external), buzz, and incremental sales generated or price extracted, is much higher than one may achieve from more traditional mass advertising, and helps reduce some of the disadvantage of being a smaller player when it comes to driving customer choice. There is also an element of a smaller player working harder to win and retain ones business, a concept wonderfully captured in the 1980s marketing by Avis, the rental car company. It ran a campaign headlined by the words Avis is only No. 2 in rental cars. So why go with us?, accompanied by the slogan We Try Harder (because were #2)!

So the next time an ad, marketing campaign, or video catches your eye, remember, there is a method behind the madness. How boring the world would be if everyone followed the exact same script and there was no room for colour, creativity, originality, and differentiation.

Heres a toast to all the creative minds out there that help make the world a little less predictable and black-and-white. Thank you for the joy and the colour.

Anatomy of the Vistara safety video: What went into making the viral ad - Moneycontrol.com

We imagine your first encounter with a wind turbine was through the window of your car as you zip down a remote highway. Wind turbines are unforgettable because of their large and impressive stature and are emblematic of the widespread global adoption of this power source as a means to generate more sustainable energy solutions for communities.

India has been at the forefront of renewableenergy revolution and has emerged as the one of the worlds largest and most competitive markets for cleanenergy innovations. Wind power saw a stable growth in the country over the past few decades, and India currently ranks fourth in the global wind energy capacity ranking.

TwoIEEE Power and Energy Society (PES)members, Pouyan Pourbeik and Nicholas Miller, explain how wind power technology works, and why it is so important.

In simplest terms, a wind turbine is a mechanical machine that converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical rotational energy that can be used to do some work, says Pourbeik.

Utilizing the natural resource, wind, as a source of energy production is not a new technological practice. In fact, wind turbines have been developed in various ways for several centuries. Pourbeik says that the first recorded wind turbine dates back to the seventh century in Iran and was used to grind grain and pump water from wells.

Todays modern wind turbines are used to run electrical machines that then convert the rotational mechanical energy into electrical energy that can serve the electrical needs of residential homes, commercial buildings and industry, says Pourbeik.

Wind turbines are sustainable because of the power conversion process; by tapping into the wind, the process is cleaner than having to mine or burn material that creates massive amounts of emissions as a result. Wind energy is a solution to reducing those carbon emissions, eliminating other forms of pollution in the air, and eventually moving away from traditional methods that have the opposite effect on our planet.

Another benefit of wind power is that this source of energy is free and bountiful. When I lecture on wind turbine basics, I often start with the statement a wind turbine is a device that converts the kinetic energy in wind/moving air into money, says Miller. The fact that there is electric power generated is incidental.

You cant afford to build a wind turbine that captures all of the available energy all the time, says Miller.

Every technology comes with its own set of challenges that engineers are equipped to solve. Integration into pre-existing power grids and gaining general public awareness of the technology as a sustainable tool are the current hurdles Pourbeik and Miller face as power engineers.

There are challenges with engineering such systems and reliably integrating them into the world-wide electric infrastructure but that is what makes the current technical environment in the field of power and energy engineering so exciting, says Pourbeik.

One of those challenges to the energy grid is energy storage and reliability. Traditionally, when a customer demands electric power, the generation and the power grid is capable of meeting that demand. But with the advent and explosive growth of wind and solar power, it is Mother Nature who decides when the electric power will be supplied, not the consumer, says Miller.

Since the birth of the electric power system in the late 19th and early 20th century, energy has been converted from mechanical energy to electrical energy through the use of rotating electrical machines, which are directly connected to the bulk power grid, explains Pourbeik. These conventional machines run at a constant speed, which means that the frequency of the electrical power they produce is also constant.

Because wind turbine speed is constantly changing due to the wind, power engineers must figure out a way to efficiently convert the wind energy to mechanical rotating energy. The solution is a rotating electrical machine connected to the wind turbine that runs at a wide range of speeds.

So to interface the machine (running at different speeds) to the bulk electrical power system (which has a fixed frequency) one needs to use a power-electronic converter interface, says Pourbeik. Thus, the electrical behavior of the power generating device becomes very different as seen from the grid.

While power-electronic converters have been used in other ways, they have never been used at such a large scale as they are now to connect the heart of wind power plants to the grid. Over the last few decades, the power and energy industry has been learning how to utilize this technology in the most reliable way possible.

Pouyan and I have worked through the first stages of the revolution, says Miller. Since the turn of the century, we have watched (and participated) as innovations in technology, markets, regulation and understanding have steadily moved the challenge out. Today, we (the U.S. and other world grids) regularly operate at levels of wind and solar generation that we thought would be nearly impossible or wouldnt happen for decades into the future.

IEEE PES and the renewable integration community have a large focus on how to make the grid work in a reliable, safe, clean and affordable fashion. But Pourbeik and Miller are hopeful about the future of sustainable energy and the technology being developed.

We are continuing to move at an astonishing rate, adding innovations on all those fronts, says Miller. Very honestly, there has never been a better, more exciting time to be a power engineer.

The future may be riddled with uncertainties, but one thing we know for sure is that the way we work and the environments we work in will have to change.

With the help of digital tools such as video conferencing and collaboration software, employees have been successfully working remotely for months now. Even so, you may be eager for your employees to return to the office. Before this can happen, you should make sure you understand how to create a safe work environment at your business.

Software Advice ran a survey in June and found that the majority of employees expect certain safety measures to be put in place before they feel comfortable returning to the office. Some of these changes include:

These findings help us understand what the workplace of the future will look like. Check out our infographic below to see our predictions for all the ways your office will need to adapt.

Creating a safe work environment is more than just rearranging furniture; it means that employees have to take personal responsibility for wearing a face mask, maintaining social distance, and disinfecting shared spaces. Because of that, communicating your back-to-the office plan is just as important as physically preparing your space.

June survey methodology

The Software Advice COVID-19 Consumer & Employee Impact Survey was conducted in June 2020 to understand how the priorities and preferences of peopleas consumers, employees, and patientshave shifted due to COVID-19. We surveyed 232 employees making up a representative sample (by age and gender) of the U.S. population.

We worded the questions to ensure that each respondent fully understood the meaning and the topic at hand.

Kacper Przybylko scored the only goal in the 31st minute Tuesday night as the Philadelphia Union beat the New York Red Bulls 1-0 in their first home game since their victory over the Red Bulls last October 20 th in the MLS Eastern Conference quarterfinals.

The Union scored an impressive team goal as if it were straight from the training ground, one in which they connected 22 passes before Przybylko side-footed home Ray Gaddis cross from close range. The goal was Przybylkos second of the season and his first since scoring against Inter Miami in the Unions second game of the MLS is Back Tournament.

For Gaddis, the assist was the 10th in his career and his first since last Septembers game against San Jose. Another notable component of the goal, beside the number of passes, was the patience in which the Union maintained possession and waited for the Red Bulls to lose their shape. Though the Red Bulls displayed some questionable team defending, the Union deserve credit for exploiting that weakness.

The sequence began with a Union throw-in well inside their own half. Instead of pressing, the Red Bulls backed off and conceded possession, something theyd done often throughout the first 30 minutes, and allowed the Union to pass the ball around, in, and out again until eventually dropping inside their own half. This wouldnt be a bad strategy on the road against a Union midfield that is better, but the Red Bulls never pressured, stayed in straight lines, and failed to rotate fast enough. And allowing the Union midfield time and space is like leaving your Wawa hoagie on a beach towel with swarming seagulls.

After 13 passes that backed the Red Bulls into their own half, the first penetrating ball from Mark McKenzie to Jamiro Monteiro through a channel down the left side beat three defenders, exposing those Red Bull gaps and lines. Monteiro had time but was stuck near the sideline with three surrounding defenders, perfect double team position. The Red Bulls were slow to press, and Monteiro pulled the ball back and found Kai Wagner, who passed to Jos Martinez all alone in the middle. Again, New York was slow to react, and Martinez turned and switched the play to an open Alejandro Bedoya on the far right side, a sequence that happened often in the early minutes.

This time, New York rotated, but when Bedoya played the ball back to Jakob Glesnes, they never pulled out or applied pressure. Instead they stayed collapsed, so Glesnes had time to pass to Martinez again in the middle with space, and as Bedoya slid back, Ray Gaddis pushed forward, and Wooten filled Bedoyas spot out wide.

Something important here about offensive shape. As Bedoya played the ball back to Glesnes, Przybylko and Aaronson remained central, which left room wide for Gaddis to run into. The ball from Wooten led Gaddis, which helped Gaddis face the Red Bull defender. He had a look at the flat back four and played a strong swirling ball behind the line away from Red Bulls keeper Ryan Meara, freezing him. A lack of communication between Meara and his central defenders contributed to the goal, but Przybylko was in his wheelhouse, unmarked. Aaron Long barely glanced his way. Przybylko did well to slip in behind the line, meet the ball, and tuck it home off a short hop.

Its energizing for a team to have so many players involved in one goal. And that lift led to several opportunities for Przybylko and Sergio Santos in the second half as the Red Bulls took more chances at the other end. Team goals like this also builds confidence for future games, especially for Przybylko, who needed a poachers goal to prove that hes finding his form.
