With discussions ongoing about how the Premier League season might be concluded, talk about the next transfer window has inevitably slipped down footballs agenda.

A knock-on effect of the coronavirus pandemic is that we do not know for certain when or if this season will finish, and therefore when clubs will be able to start signing players.

The summer transfer window is a key time for managers looking to shape their squads and, with time on their hands, planning will be continuing despite the lack of matches.

By looking at the age and playing time of every player this season, we can see the make-up of each squad and where the clubs might want to strengthen, as well as where gaps may appear as they look to replace players who are out of contract and set to leave this summer.

We have already assessed the top 10 teams, so now we check out those in the bottom half of the table.

With seven first-team players aged 30 or older and the oldest average starting XI in the Premier League overall, Roy Hodgson has recently said he would like to inject some new blood into the squad.

It might be a cause for concern for Eagles fans that no player under the age of 27 is a regular starter.

At 27, talismanic attacker Wilfried Zaha is in the peak years of his career and could push for a move away like he did last summer, which would leave them with huge boots to fill.

The Eagles will also likely need to sign a new centre-back, with Scott Dann set to leave when his contract expires and Gary Cahill turning 35 in December.

Hired as the manager who knows how to build a trophy-winning side, Carlo Ancelotti is likely to be busy in his first summer transfer window.

With Leighton Baines out of contract and a decision yet to be made about whether to sign loan player Djibril Sidibe permanently, Everton will likely be looking for full-backs, although Jonjoe Kenny is set to return after a season on loan at Schalke.

Midfield could also be a priority, with only Gylfi Sigurdsson playing regularly in the first team this season, but in Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ancelotti already possesses two of the best prospects in the league up front.

With talk of a potential 300m takeover by a Saudi-backed consortium, Newcastle could be in for their busiest transfer window in years.

But even if it does not happen, the squad is still likely to look very different next season, with seven players currently set to leave following Ki Sung-yuengs exit in January.

As the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League, Steve Bruce will no doubt look to bolster his attacking options, with 40m striker Joelinton having scored just one Premier League goal all season.

After letting both Maya Yoshida and Cedric Soares leave on loan in January and with their contracts expiring this summer, Southampton will need defensive reinforcements.

Although the club did sign two young prospects on loan to cover their departures, the Saints reportedly only have the option to buy centre-back Kevin Danso, with full-back Kyle Walker-Peters set to return to Tottenham.

A striker may also be on Ralph Hasenhuttls shopping list, as Shane Longs departure leaves him with only Danny Ings, teenager Michael Obafemi and 23-year-old Che Adams, who is yet to score for the club.

Graham Potter will likely look to bolster his attacking options, with the clubs all-time Premier League top scorer Glenn Murray set to celebrate his 37th birthday in September.

And despite the club spending over 36m on the attacking trio of Florin Andone, Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Jurgen Locadia, none have managed to establish themselves, although academy graduate Aaron Connolly has impressed and Jose Izquierdo is set to return after a long-term injury.

At the back, the club will be bolstered by the return of highly rated academy prospect Ben White, after the 22-year-old centre-backs impressive loan spell at Leeds this season.

With 10 players aged 32 or older by the end of June, it seems West Ham have a busy window ahead, although its not quite as bad as it seems.

With Javier Hernandez having already left, two of them squad players out of contract and four goalkeepers, the main concern will be how long captain Mark Noble and Robert Snodgrass can continue at the highest level.

Keeping hold of hot prospect Declan Rice will also be a priority for David Moyes, as well as having more options up front, with Sebastian Haller the only true striker to play more than 10% of minutes this season.

Ben Foster and Heurelho Gomes are set to leave when their contracts end as things stand, so goalkeepers will be Watfords number one target (pun intended), while some experienced defenders will need replacing.

The club might also start to plan for life after their talismanic captain Troy Deeney, who turns 32 next month an unenviable task given his importance over the past decade.

Since only Crystal Palace have played an older average starting XI this season, Nigel Pearson could look to add some youth to the squad, with Ismaila Sarr currently the only young prospect anywhere near the first team.

Whether Bournemouth stay up or go down, they will likely be one of the busiest clubs, with seven players set to leave.

The loss of wingers Ryan Fraser and Harry Wilson will have the biggest impact on the starting XI, while the departure of some of the old guard who got the club promoted in 2015 will leave a gap in the squad overall.

While the Cherries do have many talented young prospects, it will be interesting to see if Eddie Howe continues to rely so heavily on them to provide the depth and cover for the first team.

After needing to sign a lot of players with potential last summer to build out the squad, Dean Smith will be looking to add some top-flight experience this time around to help lead a first team approaching the peak of their careers.

Keeping star man Jack Grealish will obviously be the clubs main challenge, with the midfielder regularly linked with a move to Manchester United.

After suffering long-term injuries on New Years Day, the return of first-choice goalkeeper Tom Heaton and striker Wesley will lessen the need for major reinforcements in those positions.

With relegation looking likely, the Canaries main task in the transfer window will be preventing their crop of exciting young prospects from being plucked away by bigger clubs.

Like Aston Villa counterpart Smith, Daniel Farke may choose to add some experience to go along with such potential, with only midfielder Kenny McLean playing more than 50% of minutes among the players at their peak.

After scoring 11 Premier League goals so far this season, star striker Teemu Pukki will likely also be in demand, although his exit would leave just Josip Drmic and 19-year-old prospect Adam Idah as options up front.

EVERYONE has their own way when it comes to freeing your carpet of hair, dust, bacteria and anything else you might find lurking in it's delicate fibres.

And while some people simply run over the surface with a vacuum occasionally, chances are you're not picking up all the trapped dirt - but this hack might just change all that.

3

A cleaning fan revealed her clever carpet cleaning hack and people are shocked to learn just how much dirt is lurking in the floor.

The mum was challenged to find an effective carpet-cleaning method after being quoted up to 90 to clean the carpet in her just her kids' room alone.

She decided to try a hack she'd seen before but never tried, which involves using a cheap squeegee to scrape along the carpet fibres bringing all the hair and dust out.

From there you can vacuum as per normal knowing full well that you've effectively removed everything stuck in the carpets.

3

She shared a clip of the hack in action, alongside a couple of snaps which show just how much she'd removed from her carpets with the squeegee - and it's incredible.

In the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group, she wrote: "Seen this trick being posted on a page I'm on.. wow just wow how amazing I wasn't even expecting it to work!

"Bring the hair and dust up out of your carpets and this is just a couple pound to buy. I was quoted 70-90 pound to clean the carpet in kids room.. but it looks fab now super made up."

3

Many commented saying they too use the trick, but are still amazed by how much hair comes out each time.

"I do it every week honestly the hair that comes up shocks me. I hoover twice a day," one person revealed.

While another said: "I do this on a regular basis. I was shocked the first time I done it."

Loving the hack, on person added: "Thank you for posting this, Ive just done a bit of my bedroom carpet. Lets say I am to embarrassed to post a picture of what I collected."

Meanwhile, others suggested using a rubber broom, or even flip flops to do the same.

As select businesses get ready to open their doors Monday in Ontario's first phase of reopening the economy, one Toronto salon owner is callingforher industry to be added to the list.

Dana Ross is the owner of The Corner Spot, a unisex salon in Toronto'sUpper Beaches, and she says businesses in the salon industry are uniquelyequipped to reopen at this point in time due to the extensive training hair stylists must go through to become licensed.

"We are already trained and prepared to protect the public from infectious disease transmission, both from ourselves and from others. We train for this our entire careers," she said.

"Long before COVID-19, we were worried about HIV,Staph, Strep, Tuberculosis, and more. I cannot say this about many businesses that are already operating or that will be included in the first phase of reopening."

She even started a petition urging the provincial government to add the salon industry to the list, and it's garnered 245 signaturesthus far.

Ross' shop has been shuttered since March 14 due to government orders, and she said they weren't able to pivot sales due to the physical nature of the industry. As a result, their income has been reduced to zero.

And yet, as is true for all small businesses forced to close because of the pandemic, the bills have continued to come in. Between their mortgage, phone bill, internet bill, carpet cleaning, hydro, water, trash, HST payments, payroll taxes, accounting, insuranceand more, expenses add up to approximately$24,000 for just onemonth.

But Ross said her business is actually in a better position than most thanks tobill deferrals and being in the fortunate position of owning thecommercial property, and their calculations shows they can survive like this until August.

"That is not the case for many other salons that still have rent paymentseven with the announcement of small business rent subsidiesand have already exhausted personal funds to start up in the first place," she said.

"I predict a lot of salons will have to close up going on like this much longer. Imagine having to still pay even 25 per centof your rent with zero income for an undetermined length of time. "

This, coupled with the fact that hair stylists are uniquely equipped to implement measures that prevent the spread of the virus, is precisely why Ross says they should be allow to start opening Monday.

"Each and every day we not only ensure your safety against infectious diseases, but we are highly trained and highly regulated for exactly the reasons we are facing today," she said.

Ross has already created her own extensive reopening plan for when the time does come to start seeing customers again, and it's a two-page document with countless new measures to ensure safety such as installing dividers between all stations, providing staff members with sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) and sanitation tools, only allowing one customer in the sink area at a time, installingsneeze guards at the manicure station and the front desk and more.

And while she concedes that only appointed health officials know for sure whether it's safe for businesses to reopen, she says she truly believes salons have a better chance of keeping people safe within their environment than retailers or restaurants.

"We rely solely on the patronage of our clients to survive and to put food on the table. Without that, it is impossible to continue on," she said."We have more control of our workspace and movement within it than any retail business or restaurant, yet ours will likely be one of the last industries to reopen."

Even in what now feels like more innocent times, travelers paid attention to the cleanliness of their hotel rooms, jokes about not touching remote controls or in-room phones notwithstanding. In this current climate, however, cleanliness has taken on a whole new level of importance, especially as the hospitality industry is now examining how (and when) it might begin re-opening propertiesand figuring out what guests will want to see before they feel comfortable enough to check back in.

To help address this topic for the industry at large, the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) this week introducedSafe Stay, a program of enhanced health and safety protocols designed to prepare US hotels to welcome back guests and employees. Developed under the guidance of an advisory council, public health experts and Ecolab (a leader in cleaning solutions and services that collaborates with the EPA, FDA, CDC, and WHO), the initiative includes a checklist for cleaning rooms, meeting and common spaces and back-of-house areas; the use of cleaning products that meet the CDC guidelines; and reducing person-to-person contact in accordance with social distancing protocols. While hotels have always employed demanding cleaning standards, this new initiative will ensure greater transparency and confidence throughout the entire hotel experience, said Chip Rogers, president and CEO of AHLA, in a statement about the program. Rogers added that the new practices will continue to evolve to meet revised health and safety challenges and expectations, and to comply with any federal, state and local laws.

In addition to committing to following the Safe Stay guidelines, some top brands are also developing their own in-house hygiene programs. Announced last week, the Hilton CleanStay With Lysol Protection program was developed by Hilton in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic Covid-19 Response team, and will include a multi-year partnership with RB, maker of Lysol and Dettol. Designed to be employed across the companys 18 brands, the program will include such elements as a seal to indicate when a room has been deep-cleaned; a check-list of 10 high-touch areas (from light switches to remotes and thermostats) that will receive extra disinfection; the removal of clutter like pens, paper, and guest directories; new cleaning and occupancy limits for fitness centers; contactless check-ins and digital room keys; and the addition of cleaning technologies like ultraviolet light.

In mid-April, MarriottInternationalannounced the formation of the MarriottGlobal Cleanliness Council to help develop new cleaning technologies, guest contact policies, and food safety protocols, and to identify behaviors that will help minimize risk for both guests and employees at all its hotels. Anantara, which has a portfolio of 41 hotels across the globe, has rolled out Stay with Peace of Mind, a set of protocols that are fully compliant with international guidelines. In addition to heightened cleaning procedures, new measures will include increased scrutiny of supply chain deliveries and culinary preparation, and adapting fitness and wellness classes and restaurant seating in accordance with social distancing. Depending on the location, private experienceslike shopping without any other customers in the storecan also be arranged.

Extended-stay and private rental companies are also getting with the program. Global hotel residence brand AKA has always had rigorous standards (such as using a color-coded microfiber cloth system to limit cross contamination between surfaces, including in the en-suite kitchen), but has now added things like the use of hospital-grade EvaClean electrostatic disinfection misters (that kill viruses, bacteria and germs in sixty seconds), planning for new UV sanitization and bedding protection, offering contact-free payment, and performing regular internal audits to verify that all standards meet evolving EPA criteria; when a guest checks out, staff members will not enter the suite for 24- to 72-hours, and there will also be a 72-hour window before the next guest can check in to that suite. Boasting a roster of over 5,000 vacation homes in over 80 destinations, TurnKey has upgraded its patented GuestWorks cleaning system and verification technology to include such things as keyless locks and photo-verification of the use of COVID-19-fighting products, and has also developed cleanliness requirements for all its third-party housekeeping vendors.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR/WHSV) Folks using Amtrak will soon have to wear face masks on trains and at stations.

Amtrak announced Thursday, May 7, that the new rule is part of its effort to protect customers and front-line employees in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The policy begins on May 11, and will require customers to wear a facial covering over their nose and mouth while in stations, on trains and thruway buses. Amtrak says facial coverings can be removed while eating in designated areas, in private rooms, or seated alone or with a travel companion in their own pair of seats. Small children who are not able to maintain a facial covering are exempt from this requirement. Small children who are not able to maintain a facial covering are exempt from this requirement, according to Amtrak.

"The safety of Amtrak's customers and employees is our top priority and requiring a facial covering is one more way we can protect everyone," Amtrak President and CEO Bill Flynn said. "Amtrak continues to operate as an essential service for those who must travel during this public health crisis. Our services will be even more critical as our nation recovers."

Customers must supply their own facial covering.

In a statement, Amtrak announced it plans to take extra steps to santitize its stations and trains including:

- Limiting bookings: To help maintain CDC recommendations for physical distancing onboard trains, we have temporarily reduced Coach and Business class sales to 50% capacity.- Going cashless: As an added measure to ensure the health and safety of our customers and employees, we are temporarily accepting only cashless payments in stations and on trains.- Promoting physical distancing: Signage has been displayed at several of our busiest staffed stations to indicate safe distances in high customer traffic areas such as waiting rooms, in front ticket offices, at the base/top of escalators, lounge entrances, etc. In addition, clear protective barriers have been retrofitted at staffed stations where there are no current glass barriers.- Updating food and beverage service: We are temporarily offering Flexible Dining service in the dining or lounge car on all long distance routes (except Auto Train) and encouraging all Sleeping Car customers to select optional room service for their meals. In addition, we are limiting seating in dining and caf areas.

When it comes to the Bolts, you never truly know which of the undrafted free agents signed by the team will end up making the final roster.

When former tight end Sean Culkin made this roster as a seldomly-used pass-catcher out of Missouri, it was a surprise to many. The team had Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry already and whoever the third tight end was probably okay to be the teams third-stringer. But he made the cut, regardless. Even when this team seemed to have enough defensive backs, the Chargers kept Brandon Facyson following the 2018 draft, as well.

This year, its easy to point at the trio of fullback prospects and say one of them is going to make the team, especially after moving on from Derek Watt but again, theres always a potential surprise in there somewhere.

This year, could that potential surprise be another offensive lineman? If youre Bleacher Reports Kristopher Knox, than yes. In Knoxs recent piece, he named a UDFA from each of the 32 NFL clubs whom he believes have the most-likely chance of ending up with the team. For the Bolts, he pegged former Florida State right tackle Ryan Roberts.

After trading away Russell Okung to acquire Trai Turner, Los Angeles was left with a void at left tackle, Knox says. Free-agent addition Bryan Bulaga may kick over to the left side to fill it, but that would then leave the Chargers with question marks on the right side.

For starters, we know this isnt happening. Like, for real. Bulaga is staying on the right side and that is that. It would just cause even more problems to have him move sides than just finding a guy solidify the blindside.

With that said, Knox goes on to explain why Roberts could be in a battle with Sam Tevi and Trey Pipkin in this scenario. Again, we know thats not going to be the case, but the team is still very much open to adding the right pieces along the OL. Roberts started 10 games across the 2017 and 2018 seasons at Northern Illinois before transferring and starting every game for the Seminoles at right tackle. At 66 and 305 pounds, he does offer ideal length and hes built very well for the position. When I threw on his film against Syracuse, he stays locked-in on his blocks and shows great effort when moving to the second level. He also looks to lay the big hit on smaller defenders if given the chance.

If Roberts can show some inside-outside versatility, then I dont see why he wouldnt get a similar look as when Scott was attempting to make the team. Time will tell, however.

As the popularity of video conferencing platforms is increasing, so is the competition. The huge rise in Zooms user base has made tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Facebook take notice and work on enhancing their offerings.In a similar move, Facebook recently launched Messenger Room, an private video conferencing platform that supports up to 50 participants. During its unveiling, the company just said that it will be rolled out in the coming weeks and will be integrated with other Facebook-owned apps including WhatsApp and Instagram. '; var randomNumber = Math.random(); var isIndia = (window.geoinfo && window.geoinfo.CountryCode === 'IN') && (window.location.href.indexOf('outsideindia') === -1 ); //console.log(isIndia && randomNumber Now, a shortcut for Messenger Rooms has been spotted on the WhatsApp Web version 2.2019.6 by WABetaInfo. So far, WhatsApp Web does not support video calling. To make video calls via WhatsApp Web, users require third-party tools. And these may not always be safe. With the addition of Messenger Rooms, Facebook seems to be solving this problem of WhatsApp Web users as it will allow them to make/join video calls on a bigger screen. .
