Canadian Georges St-Pierre, who ruled the UFC welterweight division before putting a bow on a glitteringcareer by winning the middleweight title in his final outing, is headed to the UFC Hall of Fame.

The announcement was made Saturday night during UFC 249in Jacksonville, Fla., the UFC's first live show in two months due to the global pandemic.

The mixed martial arts fighter known as GSP was a pay-per-view gold mine for the UFC. And in honouring the 38-year-old from St-Isidore, Que., UFC president Dana White revived the debate of St-Pierre's place in the Canadian sports pantheon.

"Georges St-Pierre is a pioneer of Canadian MMA who helped build the sport globally," White said in a statement. "He is the most famous athlete to ever come out of Canada and one of the greatest martial artists of all-time. We're proud to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame Class of 2020."

In 2010, White sparked a debate when he said St-Pierre was "a billion times more famous than any other athlete thats ever come out of Canada. Including Wayne Gretzky."

ACanadian Press-Harris Decima survey grading Canadian celebrities in January 2011 disagreed, calling Gretzky No. 1 and GSP seventh. Still the MMA fighter finished ahead of then Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

St-Pierre's success inside the cage, fuelled by hours of meticulous preparation, put MMA on the map in Canada and helped fuel the UFC's worldwide expansion.

St. Pierre (26-2-0) will be officially inducted into the Hall of Fame later this year.

"It's a great honour to be inducted to the UFC Hall of Fame," St-Pierre said in a statement.

"I want to thank Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, Dana White and the entire UFC team, my family, my coaches and teammates, my past collaborators, my opponents and of course, all UFC fans. It's been an amazing journey, without them none of this would have been possible."

He will enter the Hall's "Modern Wing," which honours fighters who made their debut in the era of unified rules, which came into effect at UFC 28 in November 2000, and who are at least 35 or have been retired for one year or more.

He joins Forrest Griffin (2013), B.J. (The Prodigy)Penn (2015), Urijah (The California Kid) Faber (2017), (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey (2018), Michael (The Count) Bisping (2019) and Rashad (Suga) Evans (2019).

St-Pierre beat two of those Hall of Famers (Bisping and Penn).

There are also 15 fighters in the Pioneer Wing, including the likes of Randy (The Natural) Couture, Royce Gracie, Matt Hughes and Chuck (The Iceman) Liddell.

St.-Pierre stepped away from MMA after narrowly defeating Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013. While the win marked his ninth straight title defence, St-Pierre said he needed a break from the stress of the sport.

He went on to fight just once more, winning the middleweight title off Bispingat UFC 217 in November 2017. St-Pierre gave up the 185-pound crown a month later, citing health issues (ulcerative colitis).

He officially retired Feb. 21, 2019.

"There's no tears. I'm very happy to do it," he said of hanging up the gloves."It takes a lot of discipline though to retire on top. It was a long process in my mind but it's time to do it. Only a few people have done it. AndI always said that I want to retire on my own and not be told to retire."

St-Pierre was a class act inside and outside the cage

His preparation for fights was legendary, incorporating everything from gymnastics to power-lifting. Pull-ups with a 75-pound weight chained to his waist were routine.

While other fighters wore sweats and sponsors' T-shirts, St-Pierre taking a page from some champion boxers always wore a suit for his post-fight news conferences.

St-Pierre is one of only seven fighters in UFC history to win titles in two weight classes. His 13 consecutive victories and 13 titlefight winsare tied for second most in UFC history.

His 20 wins are tied for third most in the UFC and he leads all UFC fighters in most strikes landed (2,591),most significant ground strikes (461) andmost takedowns (90).

He avenged his only two losses, beating Hughes twice and MattSerra once.

St-Pierre helped make MMA history in Canada, attracting a then-MMA world record crowd of 55,724 to Rogers Centre for UFC 129 in April 2011 when he beat Jake Shields.

The championship belt St-Pierre defended against Penn at UFC 94 remains on display in theCanadian Museum of History.

During his career, St-Pierre survived knee surgeries and other injuries as well as unproven accusations of cheating (steroids, according to Nick Diaz, and greasing up with Vaseline according to Penn). White questioned his mental strength after he lost his first title defence to Serra.

Through it all, St-Pierre kept retooling and winning.

St-Pierre made a career out of taking away his opponent's advantages. It made for methodical, if not always pretty wins. Of his nine welterweight title defences, eight were by decision.

At UFC 87 in August 2008, St-Pierre was successful on seven of nine takedown attempts against Jon Fitch, an accomplished former Purdue wrestler. Afterwards, Fitch looked like he had been in a car crash, blood trickling down his face like tears.

St-Pierre dominated Penn, then the lightweight title-holder, in a champion-versus-champion showdown at UFC 94 in January 2009.

St-Pierre won the 170-pound title at UFC 65 in Sacramento in November 2006, stopping Hughes in the second round. Two years earlier at UFC 50, the Canadian had been submitted by Hughes with one second remaining in the first round.

St-Pierre, whoadmitted later he was in awe fighting his idol the first time they met, joined Carlos Newton as the only Canadian to ever hold a UFC title.

There were bumps along the way. St-Pierre's first reign as champion lasted less than five months as he lost his first title defence, staggered by a Serra blow to the head in a shock upset at UFC 69 in April 2007.

St-Pierre's training for the fight had been disastrous. His father was seriously ill and a cousin was in a coma after a car accident. There were other family issues. Injuries cut into his preparation.

St-Pierre changed managers, training and put his career back on track.

On the advice of sports psychologist Brian Cain, he looked to rid himself of the mental albatross of his title defeat by scrawling Serra's name onto a brick and hurling it into the icy waters off Montreal's South Shore.

He dominated Serra in winning back his title at UFC 83 in Montreal in April 2008. He never lost again.

St-Pierre comes from humble beginnings on the South Shore. His father spent more than 60 hours a week on a floor-recovering business, installing carpet and ceramics. His mother nursed the elderly.

He took up karate as a kid but chose mixed martial arts over hockey because his family couldn't afford both after watching Gracie in the early days of the UFC.

While going to school and training in MMA, he held down three jobs asa bouncer at the Fuzzy Brossard nightclub, working at a floor recovery store and working for the government teaching activities to delinquent kids. To this day, he remains proud that he earned his floor-recovering certificate.

St-Pierre won his first fight as a pro in January 2002, defeating Ivan Menjivar. Four more wins and he was in the UFC.

Canadian MMA star Georges St-Pierre headed to the UFC Hall of Fame - Airdrie Today

(Reuters) - One-way corridors, buffer zones around desks, and clear plastic screens to guard against colleagues coughs and sneezes may become office standards after coronavirus stay-at-home orders are lifted, say occupational experts.

Government-mandated lockdown orders to contain the global pandemic have radically changed how and where people work, with millions switching from office to the dining room and meetings moving to videoconference.

As curbs are eased, offices are being redesigned to minimize transmission risk and prevent a second wave of coronavirus cases, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned could hit the United States hard next winter.

International real estate company Cushman & Wakefield, which has overseen the return of almost a million people to offices in China, has come up with a workplace design concept to help usher in the new iteration of office life.

The concept uses the six feet rule of social distancing to keep areas around desks empty. A prototype in the companys Amsterdam offices shows clients how their spaces can be configured.

It comes down to some basic concepts, things like colored carpet or, in a less sophisticated or expensive application, taping off what six-feet workstations look like, said Bill Knightly, who works on the companys COVID-19 task force.

So its very visual. In some cases, installing Plexiglas or some other form of sneeze or cough guards to give folks additional insurance.

For workers used to the social interactions in modern open-plan offices and hot desks shared by multiple employees, the changes could be hard to adapt to, said organizational psychologist Brad Bell, who has studied the impact of working remotely.

Weve found that the more isolation that employees experience or perceive, that has a negative impact on a number of important outcomes... their satisfaction with their work, said Bell, a professor of Human Resource Studies at Cornell University. I think it can certainly lead to stress. It can undermine wellbeing.

Employers are seeing the benefits of remote work during the pandemic, Bell said, predicting some might move toward that model permanently.

What my conversations with companies are revealing is employees are remaining productive. Theyre getting the work done. And in many ways, you know, its a difficult time for everybody, but are performing much better than many companies thought they would be, he said.

But there could also be greater demand for office space to allow for social distancing, Knightly said.

Do we think everybody who can work from home will continue to work from home? No, not at this stage. Thats not the general consensus, he said.

U.S. deaths from the coronavirus are nearing 70,000, according to a Reuters tally. Stay-at-home measures have battered the U.S. economy and demonstrations to demand an end to the orders have flared across the country.

Chlorine rugs

During the boxing evening organized by the Government in late April, carpets soaked in chlorine were placed so that attendees sterilized the soles of their shoes. However, it is not confirmed that it is an effective measure to minimize transmission of the Covid-19.

As we cannot take soap and water to the streets, alcohol gel became one of the most sought-after products on the coronavirus market. Even its sale had to be regulated in pharmacies and supermarkets.

Clear visor masks are new and have become popular as a safer option than the traditional surgical mask, since they completely cover the face and prevent contagion through the eyes. Many Nicaraguans have seen a business opportunity and are preparing them to sell through Facebook pages.

Some have taken protection to another level, avoiding the coronavirus and the solar rays at the same time. These are hats and caps with a soft plastic sheet that falls to the chest or shoulders, surrounding almost the entire head.

Although they are a risky product, when they are not used well, latex gloves are currently used in places such as stores and supermarkets. They have also been seen in stadiums, where the regime continues to carry out sports activities.

The new normality has made common the offer of personalized masks, with the designs and images that the client prefers. Superheroes, smilies and skulls reign in cloth chinstraps, whose effectiveness against the coronavirus is very doubtful.

The Government ordered the installation of disinfectant booths in State institutions, such as the Supreme Court of Justice and the Courts. They were also seen in universities and private businesses. PAHO, however, said that it did not recommend the use of these structures and on April 30, the Minsa ended up banning them and ordering them to be removed.

COVID-19 impact on Urban Pest Management Market Share and Product Segment, Key Players and Demand Analysis by 2025 | Terminix, LP Pest Solutions,...

By Matt Hatton, Founding Partner, Transforma Insights.

In April 2020 Matt Hatton and William Webb published a book entitled The Internet of Things Myth, exploring why the last decade has not been as successful for IoT as might have been hoped or expected. Previous articles on IoT Business News examined the challenges represented by poor product development and the lack of dominant standards for wireless communications. Other missteps by suppliers, as discussed in depth in the book, included focusing too much on valuation, being too eager to move along the value chain, and failing to realise their own organisational limitations. However, not all of the blame for poor IoT adoption can be levelled at the vendors. Adopters also struggled with the complexity of implemented IoT. That is the focus of this article.

Early IoT implementations were generally appended to existing practices, simply offering a more efficient way of doing things. For instance, monitoring refrigerated shipping containers as a way to ensure the cargo had been cared for within acceptable parameters. Very valuable, but not likely to necessitate a fundamental change in how the shipping company operates. As the complexity of the application increases so too does the requirement to change business processes. Take for instance Anticimex, a pest control company, which introduced remote monitoring of its traps, an upgrade on the previous requirement to send a person to check them regularly. This relatively simple switch to a remote monitoring solution necessitates a new approach to customer care, workforce scheduling and more.

As further complexity is layered on, the implications for commercial and organisational change grow even further. One of the more extreme examples is any IoT solution predicated on providing an x-as-a-service (xaaS) business model, such as paying for jet engines or agricultural equipment based on the number of miles flown, or amount of grain gathered. These types of approaches necessitate a substantial overhaul of the way in which the organisation operates. For instance, the shift from a capex-based model (where the client pays up-front for the hardware) to an opex-based model (based on ongoing payments) will transform the Finance department, with a recurring revenue model and a much greater loading of cost onto the balance sheet. Thats in addition to adapting to a completely different sales model, ongoing customer care requirements, demand for field service technicians and so forth.

The change implicit in embracing IoT, and particularly the most sophisticated models, within an organisation ranges from disruptive to transformational. Adopters of IoT must give ample consideration to the commercial and operational implications of deployment, and make the appropriate changes within their organisations. This is often much more challenging and time-consuming than the technical changes. What are the big barriers? The fundamental issue is that it is harder to change organisational working practices and business models than it is to adopt new technologies. In the book we examine eight major areas that are likely to be disrupted within an organisation if it is truly embracing the opportunities presented by IoT. These include the adoption of new processes, the acquisition of new skills, the switch to new business models, the need for new partners and the over-riding requirement for a well thought-out change management strategy.

It is notable the extent to which adopters of IoT have ignored the more challenging transformational forms of IoT that require them to make the changes noted above. IoT deployments have focused almost exclusively on low-hanging fruit of simple efficiency saving based on streamlining internal processes. Done correctly IoT is transformational to many aspects of an organisations operations. Its not possible to harness IoT without also being able to make the necessary changes to people and process.

In the book we offer a series of recommendations for enterprise adopters on how best to position themselves to make those people and process changes. These include:

With approaches such as these, enterprises can make the necessary changes to embrace the transformational possibilities presented by IoT.

Poultry red mites (Dermanyssus gallinae) are the most significant mite threat throughout Europe and affect the smallest of backyard flocks to the largest commercial production units.

This tiny mite also has a significant impact. Recent surveys estimate the total annual cost of infestations in the European egg laying industry to be 232 million, affecting more than 390 million hens in all production types: breeders; pullets; and layer hens.

Red mites live and rapidly breed within the hen house and the surrounding areas but only emerge at night to crawl onto and suck blood from the birds, before retreating to cracks and crevices during the day.

They are able to survive and reproduce at a wide range of temperatures, but it is during periods of warmer weather that populations increase rapidly. One female mite, and her descendants, can produce 2,000 more mites in a month.

We have had a warmer than average April in Ireland this year, explained Maureen Prendergast, poultry technical manager at MSD Animal Health. And, as a result, were already hearing reports of increased levels of poultry red mite in some commercial units.

Small numbers of mites may be tolerated by laying hens but, when a critical threshold is exceeded, mite infestation results in reduced productivity due to anaemia, decreased egg production and quality, reduced growth of birds and increased mortality from stress and the presence of other diseases.

Mites are known to carry a multitude of viral and bacterial pathogens and the presence of these in birds that are compromised from mite infection results in higher levels of mortality.

Even at low levels, mites may cause pecking among birds resulting in injury, warned Maureen.

This adds to the welfare significance of infestation with red mites. Of course, mites can also affect the humans looking after the hens, causing irritation and scratching and even an allergic dermatitis in some susceptible individuals.

Biosecurity alone is often insufficient to control their spread as they are carried by wild birds, rats and other mammals, the boots of farmers or in feed. They can also make their way at great speed through very small cracks and gaps and for long distances.

Poultry keepers should be on the lookout for signs of mite infestation early this season. In very heavy infestations, mites will be seen in greyish clumps with their eggs under the perches or in dark corners of the shed.

The most useful way to check the levels of mites in a commercial laying unit is to set traps in strategic routes for the mites as they climb to the perches. Smallholders, or those with backyard flocks, may notice their hens are reluctant to return to the hen house at night or seem noisy and unsettled, advised Maureen.

Current management methods lack sufficient effectiveness to keep mite infestations under control at many poultry farms, and often pose safety threats for both birds and humans.

The issue of residues in eggs and poultry meat has become more significant due to the enforcement of the EU directive on Biocidal Product Regulation 528/2012 which controls poultry disinfectants and mite powders.

A novel licensed product, containing fluralaner, has been available for the destruction of poultry red mites since 2017, with over 7 million hens treated in the island of Ireland.

Treatment consists of two applications (via the drinking water), seven days apart in order to target all stages of the life cycle. Previously only available to professional poultry farmers, it is now available for smaller flocks. The egg withdrawal period is zero days.

A small pest causing big problems in flocks of all sizes - Agriland

As the relaxation process has begun in all the zones from May 4 after 1 month and 10 days of strict lockdown to contain the spread of deadly coronavirus by the union government, the domestic helps or maid servants are uncertain and confused whether they can resume their works or not. Most of these domestic helps work in residential societies or a residential areas where they usually have Residents Welfare Associations (RWAs) to make the day-to-day functioning smooth

The uncertainty arose when some media reports stated the Centre gave a nod for them to resume their work but handed over the decision of the movement of domestic workers to the RWAs of the cities. That means it will depend completely on the RWAs to decide whether they will allow the domestic helps inside the society or not. This confusion was created when a Home Ministry official on Friday said that RWAs will decide on whether domestic helps can resume services, and that liquor stores would not open in Red Zones. But contrary to the officials statement the guidelines clearly state that domestic helps are allowed even in Red Zones.

But the unseasonal rains have ruined his wheat crop and he is naturally concerned how his family is surviving without money and with alternative sources of income too dried up. This is the story of helps in just one household. Lakhs of such maids, drivers and chowkidars are facing the same state of impoverishment all over the country thanks to the callous attitude of this government.

As for the migrant labour, after more than a month of holding them by force from going back to their villages, hundreds and thousands of kilometers away, the government finally decided to allow them homeward journey, after over 300 deaths among those who chose to walk or pedal back all the way from Surat, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai, Chandigarh, Ludhiana to somewhere in Darbhanga, or Ranchi or Indore or Bhopal.

But ironically, the poor who are left with no money, are now being asked to pay for their rail/bus ticket and at a higher rate than normal. There is no shame, leave alone compassion or concern for these unfortunate citi- zens of India.
