As an employer, it is essential to recognize and address the hardships faced by your employees. Whether it's personal challenges, economic downturns, or other unforeseen circumstances, employees may experience hardship that can affect their well-being and job performance. Navigating employee hardship can be tricky, and you want to ensure you are complying with local laws and regulations, as well as ensuring you are not showing favoritism or bias. We want to offer some proven strategies for supporting your team during difficult times, helping them overcome adversity, and fostering a positive work environment.
Cultivating a Supportive Work Culture
Creating a supportive work culture is crucial to helping employees navigate hardship. By fostering an environment of empathy, understanding, and open communication, you can provide a sense of belonging and emotional support. Encourage employees to share their concerns and offer resources such as a hardship relief fund, employee assistance programs, or counseling services. By showing genuine care and support, you can help alleviate the burden of hardship and create a sense of unity within your organization.
Flexible Work Arrangements
During times of employee hardship, flexibility in work arrangements can make a significant difference. Consider implementing flexible work hours, remote work options, or job-sharing opportunities. These arrangements allow employees to manage their personal challenges better while fulfilling their job responsibilities. By providing flexibility, you demonstrate your willingness to accommodate and support your team members in times of need.
Clear Communication and Transparency
Maintaining clear communication and transparency with your employees is vital. Keeping your team informed about any changes, challenges, or decisions that may affect their work environment. Provide regular updates, address concerns promptly, and offer reassurance wherever possible. Transparent communication builds trust and helps employees feel valued, therefore minimizing the impact of hardship on their overall job satisfaction when it may occur.
Employee Assistance Programs and Resources
Implementing employee assistance programs (EAPs) and offering relevant resources can be instrumental in supporting employees during difficult times. EAPs typically provide counseling services, financial advice, and access to resources to help employees cope with personal or professional challenges. In comparison, a hardship relief fund (HRF) provides the financial support an employee may seek in times of hardship. Ensure your employees know about these benefits and encourage them to utilize the available resources. Additionally, consider organizing workshops or training sessions on stress management, resilience, and work-life balance to equip your employees with valuable skills for navigating hardship.
Recognizing and Celebrating Achievements
Acknowledging and celebrating your employees' achievements, no matter how small, can uplift their spirits during challenging times. Recognize their efforts publicly, share success stories and express gratitude for their dedication and resilience. Celebrating achievements fosters a positive work environment, boosts morale, and reinforces the sense of support within your organization.
Navigating employee hardship requires proactive support and understanding from employers. By cultivating a supportive work culture, implementing flexible work arrangements, maintaining clear communication, providing access to assistance programs and resources, and recognizing achievements, you can help your team overcome adversity and thrive.
Remember, your employees are the backbone of your organization, and supporting them during difficult times ultimately contributes to their well-being, job satisfaction, and overall success.

John Boyega and Carrie Fisher Tried a British Star Wars, "Didn't Work Out"
Mild spoilers?
In more hilarious Graham Norton clips, John Boyega and Carrie Fisher got to talk a bit about their accents in the movie. While Daisy Ridley got to keep her accent, John Boyega said it "didn't work out." We do get a very brief look at what could've been though, which I honestly would like to see more of?
Carrie Fisher also talks about her outfits ("fashionable gas station attendant" and "baboon's ass" hairstyle), but also how she becomes British when she gets angry which popped up during A New Hope.
I don't think they should've been so quick to write off British Star Wars, what do you think?

Meet Jillian
Certified Metabolic Terrain Advocate
Over fifteen years ago I began a journey back to health. My experience taught me to have the greatest empathy and understanding for anyone facing an overwhelming diagnosis such as cancer. All too often, it can feel nearly impossible to jump into major medical treatment whilst juggling recommended diet & lifestyle changes.
Dr. Nasha recognized this struggle and answered the call by pioneering the Metabolic Approach to Cancer. She envisioned every patient having the medical expertise of a MATC Physician coupled with the support and guidance of a Metabolic Terrain Advocate. Physician and Advocate work together with the shared goal of positively influencing a patient's terrain to improve treatment outcomes.
The end result?
Partnerships that save lives.
"There are few providers who can grasp the complexity of health in the modern world. Jillian is one of
them---drawing from a wealth of experience and knowledge---she is certain to represent a partner in a new paradigm of healing."
- Dr. Kelly Brogan
"Getting started was difficult. Jillian emphasized patience---stressing progress over perfection---now I'm in therapeutic ketosis!"
- Henry F.
"Jillian's know-how and kind words of inspiration helped me take small steps towards modifying a lifetime of "not-so-healthy" habits. A self-proclaimed sugar addict, she taught me simple swaps that had a big impact on my progress. I'm crushing my wellness goals now. Thank you so much Jillian."

- (Focus Area) Pest Management
- Author: Cheryl A. Wilen
Nurseries and garden centers often sell a wide range of plants for use in gardens and landscapes. As a consumer, you may manage a complex array of different landscape plantings, including woody trees and shrubs, woody ground cover beds, annual flower beds, herbaceous perennial beds, and mixed plantings. This complexity often makes weed management difficult. An integrated approach is the most economical and efficient way to control weeds, so knowing strategies for managing weeds in a variety of landscapes can help.
Woody Trees and Shrub Beds
Control perennial weeds before planting, although weed control can also be done after planting. Densely planted areas will reduce weeds. Geotextile (landscape) fabrics rather than black plastic used with a shallow layer of mulch will keep weeds from emerging. If you mulch without a geotextile base, the mulch layer must be thicker to prevent weed emergence.
If needed, you can use a preemergence herbicide to control annual weeds and supplement with hand weeding and spot applications of postemergence herbicides for weeds that are not well-controlled by hand weeding, such as perennial grasses.
Woody Ground Cover Beds
Mature, woody ground cover beds should exclude most weeds; however, when ground cover is just establishing, weed growth is likely. Perennial weeds must be controlled before planting, although perennial grasses may be selectively controlled after planting with a grass-selective herbicide like sethoxydim (Grass-Getter). Annual weeds may be controlled with mulch plus a preemergence herbicide but rooting of stolons in new plantings may be affected. You will need to supplement with some hand weeding.
Annual Flower Beds
A dense planting in annual flower beds will help shade out and compete with many weeds. Flower species should be carefully selected for weed management compatibility. Periodic cultivation at 3- to 4-week intervals and between flower beds plant rotations will also suppress weeds. Perennial weeds must be controlled before planting. Annual weeds can be controlled with mulches, preemergence herbicides, frequent cultivation, and/or hand weeding. Control perennial grasses with grass-selective herbicides like clethodim, sethoxydim, or fluazifop. Avoid nonselective herbicides in annual flower beds after planting.
Herbaceous Perennial Beds
Weed management options in herbaceous perennial beds are similar to those for annual flowers, except that it is more important to eradicate perennial weeds as there will be no opportunity to cultivate or renovate the bed for several years; and fewer species are included on herbicide labels. Geotextiles may be used in these types of plantings. Manage weeds with mulches and supplement with hand weeding. If needed, use preemergence herbicides after hand weeding.
Mixed Plantings of Woody and Herbaceous Plants
Weed management in mixed plantings is complex because of the diversity of species. Different areas of the bed could receive different weed treatments. Site preparation is critical because post-plant herbicide choices are few. Plant the woody species first and control perennial weeds in the first two growing seasons, then introduce the herbaceous species. Plant close together to shade the soil. Group plants within the bed that will receive similar weed management programs.
In most landscape situations, herbicides should not normally be needed by home gardeners. Mulching, removal by hand, and proper irrigation (pattern and amount of water) are sufficient in most cases. Find more information in the UC IPM Pest Notes: Weed Management in Landscapes.

Last week, someone called our helpline about a strange phenomenon happening on her backyard plants. She described the symptoms as "big, white, masses of fluffy cotton." I asked her to email some photos our helpline address (firstname.lastname@example.com).
When I opened her email, I was surprised to see images of what appeared to be giant whiteflies. This pest invaded California in the early 1990's and was until recently only found in Southern California and along the coast. The Stanislaus County Agricultural Commissioner's Office confirmed that giant whiteflies are present in our County.
If you've heard of whiteflies or dealt with them in your landscape, you may wonder how giant whiteflies are different, aside from being larger. Both pests suck plant juices and weaken plants. The main difference is that giant whiteflies tend to feed together in large groups. This large population creates waxy looking deposits that create a "bearded appearance" or what the caller described as "fluffy cotton" on plants. If you look closely at the infestation, you may see the pests living on the undersides of the leaves.
If you find giant whiteflies in your landscape, there are a few things you can do. For small infestations, pull off affected leaves, place them in a sealed bag, and discard them. For larger ones, direct a strong stream of water at the undersides of the leaves to knock giant whiteflies off and kill them.
Visit the UC IPM publication Pest Notes: Giant Whitefly for more information about this pest, or call our helpline at (209) 525-6802 to speak with a UCCE Master Gardener.

In Part I, we discussed why mosquitoes bite, and which mosquito species can spread West Nile and Zika virus. Now, let's talk about what mosquitoes need to reproduce, how to prevent them from breeding around your home, and best methods to protect yourself and your family while outdoors.
What do Mosquitoes Need to Breed?
The mosquitoes that spread West Nile virus and Zika need water to lay their eggs. Female mosquitoes can lay their eggs in even the smallest amount of water. Places in your yard that appeal to them include standing water found in ponds, garden pots, children's toys, or even pet water bowls. Eliminating these possible breeding spaces is key to mosquito control.
Watch the video "Don't Let Mosquitoes Breed in your Yard" from UC IPM for helpful tips.
Protect Yourself from Mosquito Bites
There's a plethora of mosquito control and prevention items for sale, but many are ineffective.
When outdoors, protect your skin by wearing long-sleeved pants and shirts, long socks, and a hat. Be aware that mosquitoes can bite through a thin layer of clothing. Also, choose and apply an effective EPA-registered mosquito repellent that contains DEET, picardin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin.
You may be tempted to use outdoor sprays to battle mosquitoes. However, this method is only temporary and doesn't help control the source of the problem. The best way to avoid bites are prevention and protection.

You've probably read a lot lately in the news about West Nile virus and Zika virus. In mid-June, the first human case of West Nile virus in Stanislaus County was diagnosed. This past week, mosquitoes that can carry the Zika virus were found in our county.
Why do mosquitoes bite?
It may surprise you to learn that mosquitoes get most of their food from flower nectar. However, female mosquitoes need a blood meal to produce eggs. If she bites someone while carrying a virus, it can infect that person.
What is the difference between West Nile virus and Zika virus?
West Nile virus is carried by Culex tarsalis or the Western encephalitis mosquito. This species is most active just after sunset. It feeds on birds and other mammals, including humans.
Eighty percent of people infected with West Nile virus do not show symptoms. The other twenty percent may have mild symptoms including fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash. One in 150 people infected will develop a neurological illness that may result in death.
Zika virus is transmitted by several species of Aedes mosquitoes. These mosquitoes bite people during the day. Women infected with Zika during pregnancy may have an infant born with microcephaly and other severe brain defects.
Although this mosquito has been found in Stanislaus County, the virus has not been found in California. Aedes mosquitoes can only transmit Zika if they carry the virus.
How can I protect myself and my family?
Stay tuned tomorrow for part II of this blog post, with helpful tips for prevention and protection from mosquitoes.

Over the past few months, gardeners have asked the UCCE Master Gardeners for help with their grapes. They want to know:
- What's this white powdery substance on my grape plants?
- Why are my grapes so small?
- What's causing my grapes to split?
- What can I do to "save" my grape plants?
The culprit is a common grape disease called powdery mildew. This fungus leaves a telltale white powdery coating on plants. It also deforms leaves, shoots, and grapes. Young grapes can be stunted or scarred, and sometimes split open.
We've told gardeners that unfortunately, powdery mildew can't be eradicated. For now, gently hosing down plants weekly with water will help to wash off and kill the spores.
In winter, prune grapes and remove and destroy infected materials. During spring, use fungicides to protect grapevines. Timing is important. Read about how and when to prevent and control this disease in the publication Pest Notes: Powdery Mildew.
Small Grapes
Small grapes are a result of too many clusters of grapes on a vine. The clusters will need to be thinned. Sometimes gardeners have trouble doing this. It may feel like you are throwing away perfectly good fruit! However, thinning out grape clusters is a necessary task that should be done in early spring during the first three to four weeks after fruit has set.
Study up on grapes now! Then you'll know what you need to do next year. For information on pruning, thinning, and growing grapes, visit The California Garden Web page Growing Grapes in Your Backyard.

Westboro Baptist Church, the hate group who routinely protests military funerals and thanks God for dead soldiers because "God hates gays", organized a protest for the funeral of recently fallen Omaha detective Kerrie Orozco, but were denied a view of or from the procession by several groups who came together to block them, with a giant thin blue line.
Orozco was serving a felony arrest warrant for Marcus Wheeler, 26, who was already a convicted felon,when she was fatally shot (as was Wheeler) in an exchange of gunfire. Orozco, 29, was a seven-year-veteran of the department. It was her last shift before she was to start a maternity leave for her daughter who was born prematurely and finally scheduled to go home for the first time; the day after Orozco died of a gunshot wound that struck just above her vest.
In a refreshing display across the state of Nebraska, companies, various groups and municipalities honored Orozco by lighting buildings blue, flying flags at half staff, police appreciation signs, and other measures. There were also several groups who learned of Westboro Baptist Church's plans, and organized a means to prevent the family and friends in the procession from seeing any vile displays. One such group, Operation White Out Nebraska, posted this to their facebook page, "We will be blocking picketers with a wall made of white sheets to block Kerrie Orozco's family from being able to see, or hear what they are doing." And that's exactly what they and many others did.

Just go with the business which is meeting all the lawful requirements so you make certain that you employed a reputable business.
3. Ask for Recommendations
Well, transferring to a brand-new residence is a thing we do not do often. We hardly ever need to move except for a few situations. So it is difficult to select the very best for you. A far better alternative is to ask your friends and family for suggestions who have availed the services of moving companies. Being referred to a business based upon individual experience is the thing you have to be seeking.
4. Know the Rates
Make a budget plan of just how much you are going to spend on the moving process and afterward find a business within that business. It is necessary because moving companies will not offer you a precise price. They can provide you a quote and there could be some additional charges based upon the added time, some heavy objects, the product packaging product, and so on.
So if you don't intend to be troubled at the last moment, finalize all the rates and also payment-related things before handing over the job. This will certainly be much better for you along with the company. If the business is not offering you the idea of rates, there are opportunities there may be some concealed charges that you need to pay at the end. Move forward in such a situation.
5. Look for the Reviews of Other People

Speeding up the development of drugs against the new Corona virus
Judith Hillen
Pharmaceutical companies around the world are currently working hard to discover potential treatments and cures for COVID-19. One big challenge is the long time that is usually needed to develop a new drug. At this point, the Polish startup Molecule.one – participant of this year's startup program 5-HT X-linker – wants to help by granting scientists free access to its platform. In this interview, CEO and co-founder Piotr Byrski M.D., explains how their AI platform makes it possible to accelerate the process of chemical synthesis, driven by the idea to make medicines faster.
Molecule.one Piotr Byrski X-Linker 2020What is the vision of Molecule.one?
We want to lay the groundwork for the automated future of organic chemistry, especially in pharmaceutical industry. With artificial intelligence, we want to speed up the process of chemical synthesis and, thus, the development of new drugs and other molecules.
What are the biggest challenges when it comes to the current methods of chemical synthesis in pharmaceutical industry?
Chemical synthesis is one of the bottlenecks in drug discovery. It is one of the reasons why the discovery of a new drug needs as much as 12 years in average. Making a wrong decision can cost you several weeks, and this happens multiple times throughout a single drug discovery pipeline. Even for the synthesis of modestly complex molecules, there is an enormous number of possibilities. In order to choose the materials, reactions and conditions which will deliver the desired results, you need to plan the process very well and consider a large number of datapoints. This requires a lot of time and effort.
How can Molecule.one improve the process of chemical synthesis?
The users of our platform benefit from significant time and cost savings. An individual chemist can maybe take 10 or 100 previously performed reactions into account when planning a synthesis – our algorithm can look at millions of reactions and evaluate which of these are going to work in a specific case. The technological solution of Molecule.one enables chemists to spend their time thinking about more complex problems instead of manually going through publications about chemical synthesis. Furthermore, the algorithm allows our clients to set priorities, depending on which factors they want to optimize: are they looking for the cheapest way to synthesize a new molecule, or rather for the fastest way? Do they want to produce small or large quantities? Finally, our solution proposes relevant reactions, scores them and assembles them into full synthesis pathways – all within a few minutes.
Molecule.one VisualWhat is the technology behind your solution?
There are multiple pieces of technology at work. First of all, we use databases that contain information about previous reactions, commercially available starting materials or known molecules. After extracting the knowledge from these databases, for example by natural language processing, we use a machine learning approach to find answers to the questions of our clients. Last but not least, we aim to be as convenient as possible for the end user. Therefore, we work together with our customers to constantly validate our assumptions and to rapidly improve the way we present the data to our customers.
Molecule.one Full synthesis pathwayHow do know that your system has identified the best solution for the synthesis of a specific molecule?
It is very important for us to make sure that our algorithm works correctly. Therefore, we apply various lines of verification. First, we use classical machine learning approaches to validate if we are actually able to generalize knowledge from datasets. Then, there is a chemist's eye verification: we ask chemists to assess whether the proposed reactions are possible or not. Sometimes, they apply our algorithm to a problem that they already know the solution to (without the algorithm having any explicit access to this information). This is a good way to evaluate the reliability of our algorithm. As a third line of verification, we will also conduct laboratory experiments in collaboration with partners.
At the moment, scientists around the world are striving to discover a drug against the new corona virus. How does Molecule.one support these efforts?
Recently, we have achieved a significant technological development which enables us to plan and evaluate chemical synthesis for multiple compounds at once. This is useful for early stages of drug discovery when we need to keep several options open. A couple of weeks ago, when the corona crisis started to intensify in various countries, we wondered how we could support the development of drugs against SARS-CoV-2. We believe we are the only technology platform able to perform synthesis planning for thousands of molecules per hour. Therefore, we have decided to grant free access to our synthetic accessibility screening (SAS) capabilities for every team involved in developing potential treatments and cures for COVID-19. You can simply write us an e-mail, tell us about your idea, and then use our solution to assess thousands of molecules per hour in terms of how easy they are to synthesize.
How did the idea for Molecule.one develop?
The idea arose from experiences of myself and my co-founder Maxus (Paweł Włodarczyk-Pruszyński) who studied chemistry, mathematics and medicine together with me. During our time at university, we worked in laboratories, did consulting for academic teams, and were also active in the chemical industry. Soon we realized that academic approaches were often problematic: academic teams often tend to hyperfocus on particular technologies, and only afterwards they try to find industrial applications for their discoveries. We decided to work the other way round: Instead of commercializing research, we focus first on solving the problems that the industry actually has. In November 2016, we founded our company and started developing our technology. At the moment, we are a team of 9 people and will hopefully continue to grow fast.
What are your next steps in technology and business development?
In terms of technology, we are constantly optimizing our machine learning algorithm in order to improve the quality and the confidence measures of our predictions. Furthermore, we are increasing the performance of our solution. Although we can already analyze 10.000 compounds per hour, we are working to go beyond that. In addition, we aim to make our interface more convenient for our customers. In terms of business, we are planning to raise some funding this year. While continuing to work with our existing customers, we are also seeking to expand our customer base.
This year, you were part of our startup bootcamp X-Linker. What was your experience with the program – and what were your biggest learnings?
It was a great opportunity to get in touch with industry peers and with other startups doing excellent work. The most important thing for us was getting multiple perspectives on what we do. Especially the mentoring sessions were very valuable to us: we practiced how to explain our idea to different kinds of people; we identified risks and learned how to address them. The networking part was also a big advantage of the event, as it gave us the chance to lead interesting conversations, e.g. with BASF.

Personal Trainer, Inc. owns and operates fitness centers in a dozen Midwestern cities. The centers
have done well, and the company is planning an international expansion by opening a new
?supercenter? in the Toronto area. Personal Trainer?s president, Cassia Umi, hired an IT
consultant, Susan Park, to help develop an information system for the new facility. During the
project, Susan will work closely with Gray Lewis, who will manage the new operation.
At their initial meeting, Susan and Gray discussed some initial steps in planning an information
system for the new facility. The next morning, they worked together on a business profile, drew an
organization chart, discussed feasibility issues, and talked about various types of information
systems that would provide the best support for the supercenter?s operations. Their main objective
was to carry out a preliminary investigation of the new system and report their recommendations
to Personal Trainer?s top managers.
After the working session with Gray, Susan returned to her office and reviewed her notes. She
knew that Personal Trainer?s president, Cassia Umi, wanted the supercenter to become a model for
the company?s future growth, but she did not remember any mention of an overall strategic plan
for the company. Susan also wondered whether the firm had done a SWOT analysis or analyzed
the internal and external factors that might affect an information system for the supercenter.
Because the new operation would be so important to the company, Susan believed that
Personal Trainer should consider an enterprise resource planning strategy that could provide a
company-wide framework for information management. After she finished compiling her notes,
Susan listed several topics that might need more study and called Gray to arrange another meeting
the following day
1. Review the fact statements in Chapter 1, and perform Internet research to find out as much
as you can about fitness center operation
2. Does the proposed system present a strong business case? Why or why not?
3. What fact-finding techniques should Susan and Gray consider during the preliminary
investigation? Also develop a list of questions they should include in an employee survey
4. For each type of feasibility, suggest two questions that will help Susan reach a

Galápagos Islands Program Engages Students in History and Evolution
LEXINGTON, Ky (July 26, 2022) — Education abroad programs help students grow academically and personally by immersing them in global dimensions of their academic discipline while introducing them to different cultures.
These programs also enliven education by connecting a field of study to a particular place, allowing students to experience that connection firsthand. For students interested in ecology, there really is no better place to connect to than the Galápagos Islands.
This summer, Jim Krupa, UK biology professor, led a course on the evolutionary ecology of the Galápagos archipelago.
"The life on the islands is almost otherworldly," said Krupa. "The students are absolutely shocked and amazed when they arrive. It's incredible to see their reactions."
The Galápagos Islands, while hosting some of the rarest life forms on earth, also hold a deep historical connection to the study of evolution. In 1835, Charles Darwin famously visited Galápagos, and his findings would eventually lead him to write "On the Origin of Species" and introduce the study of evolution.
Krupa has been fascinated by the Galápagos Islands since completing his doctoral work. His advisor, Charles Carpenter of the University of Oklahoma, was a trailblazing researcher on animal behavior of Galápagos creatures and encouraged Krupa to pursue research on the islands. That fascination has come full circle, as Krupa had the unique opportunity this summer to introduce his students to the wonders found on the islands.
Many of the world's most unusual plants and animals call the Galápagos Islands home. Students witnessed these species firsthand, including the famous Galápagos giant tortoise, which can weigh more than 500 pounds, and the Galápagos marine iguana, which can grow to almost six feet long.
In the Galápagos Islands, students spent their time island-hopping and studying the plants and animals, keeping hand-written field notebooks along the way, much like Darwin. Krupa has been keeping field notebooks on his research for 45 years.
"It encourages the students, and me, to always be engaged, always be thinking," said Krupa.
For UK senior Elie Tierney, the program was the perfect education abroad opportunity. A biology major and Spanish minor, she utilized and enhanced skills learned in both of her majors.
"What I didn't expect was the language component," said Tierney. "I've been studying Spanish in the classroom but going abroad and having to hear and speak Spanish every day with native-speakers took my abilities to the next level, and I felt so much more confident in myself."
While education abroad programs give students the ability to utilize skills learned in the classroom in a real-world environment, they can also help students narrow down their career aspirations.
"Before the program, I was constantly switching between what exactly I wanted to do," said Tierney. "I was stuck between a few options. But Galápagos solidified it for me. I know now that ecology is my calling."
Tierney now plans to apply to graduate schools to study ecology.
Many participants in the program also had the opportunity to stay with a host family while on Galápagos. For Tierney, this was a particular highlight of her studies.
"They welcomed me as one of their own," she said. "They were so kind and giving of their time. It helped fully immerse me in the culture of the place. I still talk with my host family, even as I've returned to the U.S."
After returning, Krupa was amazed at the change he saw in the students.
"They fully engaged with the place, and I saw that throughout the trip," he said. "When they returned, I could sense a shift in how they thought about not only the subject matter covered in the course but many other topics they considered while traveling through a different country."
Krupa looks forward to taking future groups of students to the Galápagos Islands and introducing them to evolution firsthand.

This week brings us the release of six monthly and quarterly economic reports for the markets to digest, two of which are considered to be highly important. In addition to the data, there are two potentially relevant Treasury auctions to deal with. Also worth mentioning is the fact that earnings season is in full swing, where publicly-traded companies announce their quarterly and annual earnings. Earnings generally affect stocks much more than bonds, but what is bad news for stocks is usually considered to be good news for bonds and mortgage rates.
Tomorrow doesn't have anything we need to be concerned with. At the time of posting this report, it looks as if stocks are going to extend Friday's major sell-off that caused the Dow to shed almost 1,000 points. That could help start the week with an improvement in mortgage pricing.
The week's activities start early Tuesday morning when March's Durable Goods Orders will be released. This report gives us an indication of manufacturing sector strength by tracking orders for big-ticket items at U.S. factories. These are products that are expected to last three or more years, such as appliances, electronics and airplanes. Current forecasts are calling for a 1.1% increase in new orders, indicating growth in the manufacturing sector. Weaker manufacturing activity is favorable news for mortgage rates.
April's Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) will be posted at 10:00 AM ET Tuesday. The CCI is considered to be an indicator of future spending by consumers. The Conference Board surveys 5,000 consumers from across the country about their personal financial situations. If sentiment is strong or rising, it is believed that consumers are more apt to make large purchases in the near future. However, if they are concerned about issues such as job security or income, they will probably delay making large purchases. The latter is better for the bond market and mortgage rates because the potential slowdown in spending would help to restrict economic growth to a minimum. Forecasts show a decline from March's 107.2. The smaller the reading, the better it is for mortgage pricing.
Wednesday doesn't have any relevant economic data for the markets to digest, but does have an afternoon Treasury auction scheduled that may affect rates during afternoon trading. 5-year Treasury Notes will be sold Wednesday, followed by 7-year Notes Thursday. If the sales go poorly, we may see broader selling in the bond market that leads to upward revisions in mortgage rates. On the other hand, strong sales usually make government securities more attractive to investors and bring more funds into bonds. Results will be posted at 1:00 PM ET each auction day, so look for any reaction to come during early afternoon hours.
The big economic news of the week will come at 8:30 AM ET Thursday when the preliminary version of the 1st Quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be released. There is a strong argument to be made that this is the single most important report that we see on a regular basis. The GDP is the sum of all products and services produced in the U.S. and is considered to be the best measure of economic growth or contraction. Market participants are expecting it to show that the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.1% during the first three months of this year. A smaller increase in activity would be considered good news for mortgage rates.
Friday has three economic reports set for release, starting with Personal Income and Outlays data for March at 8:30 AM ET. It helps us measure consumer ability to spend and current spending habits. This information is important to mortgage rates due to the influence that consumer spending-related data has on the financial markets. If a consumer's income is rising, they have the ability to make additional purchases in the near future, fueling economic growth that raises inflation concerns and has a negative impact on the bond market and mortgage rates. This month's release is expected to show a 0.4% rise in income and 0.6% rise in spending. In this report is also the Fed's preferred inflation reading (PCE index) that will draw plenty of attention.
Also early Friday morning will be the release of the 1st Quarter Employment Cost Index (ECI). This index tracks employer costs for wages and benefits, giving us a measurement of wage-inflation. A large increase in costs means employers will need to pass those increases into the pricing of their products and services. This is bad news for bonds and mortgage rates. A smaller increase than the 1.1% rise that forecasts are calling for would be good news.
The week closes with the University of Michigan's revised Index of Consumer Sentiment for April at 10:00 AM ET Friday. This report gives us an indication of consumer sentiment and their willingness to spend. Current forecasts are calling for little change from the preliminary 65.7 reading of two weeks ago. This means that surveyed consumers were more optimistic about their own financial situations than they were earlier this month. This data is relevant because waning confidence in their own financial situations usually means consumers are less apt to make a large purchase in the near future. Therefore, the lower the reading, the better the news it is for rates.
Overall, the most active day for rates is likely going to be Tuesday or Thursday unless something unexpected happens. Wednesday looks to be the best candidate for calmest day. Corporate earnings surprises can heavily influence stock trading and trickle down to bonds any day. It would be prudent to keep a close eye on the markets if still floating an interest rate and closing in the near future as we may see multiple days of noticeable changes in rates.

Finite Element Modeling of the Behavior of a Hollow Cylinder in a Hydrogen-Containing Environment
The two main research orientations on the problem of hydrogen embrittlement are examined: the study of fundamental principles and the disclosure of micromechanisms and the relation between hydrogen embrittlement and metal aging; the development of models and methods for predicting the kinetics of change in stress-strain state and for evaluating the longevity of structures subjected to hydrogen embrittlement. The state of the problem of hydrogen embrittlement of metals in the first direction is briefly analyzed. More attention is paid to the importance of predicting the behavior of charged metal structures under the influence of hydrogen embrittlement. We then examine the use of finite element modeling using the ANSYS software to compute the calculation analysis of a hollow cylinder subjected to internal and external pressures and hydrogen embrittlement. The cylinder material is nonlinear elastic and its properties depend on the hydrogen concentration at each point of the cylinder. Consideration is given to the influence of the rigidity of the stress state and the hydrogen concentration on the diffusion kinetics of hydrogen in the cylinder body. The problem is solved in time steps. The distributions of the hydrogen concentration and the stresses for a quarter of the volume of the cylinder are given, as well as the graphs of these values according to the thickness of the wall of the cylinder at different times.
It is shown that the ANSYS software package adapted to the resolution of such problems can model the behavior of different structures in a hydrogen-containing environment, taking into account the effects caused by both the influence of hydrogen on mechanical properties of the material and by the stress state of the structures, as well as by the influence of the stress state on the interaction kinetics of hydrogen with the structures.

CIO50 2020 #14 Johnny Serrano, GroundProbe
Remote working is nothing unusual in the mining industry, but when you're in the business of site management and safety monitoring, being prevented from physical inspections and interactions with clients requires a quick, innovative workaround.
For Johnny Serrano, CIO with global mining services company Groundprobe, necessity was the mother of invention when COVID-19 hit, spawning what the company believes is a unique deployment of AR (augmented reality) technology that has enabled it to maintain critical services such as gauging whether mine walls are strong or at risk of collapse.
AR was already being implemented for demo and training purposes, but was prioritised and expanded as the pandemic spread.
The key objective was maintaining operations at GroundProbe's 24x7 geotechnical remote monitoring centres in Indonesia and Chile which monitor potential mining wall collapses around the world.
GroundProbe manages a 450-strong fleet of radar and laser systems installed in 60 countries with remote monitoring and IT control centres connected to those systems in Australia, Indonesia, Chile and Brazil.
With the traditional business model of onsite maintenance and repair is no longer possible across the world, AR technologies were deployed to integrate with GroundProbe's mine 'radars' that predict mining wall failures.
It was crucial that this critical service remained online as the geotechnical remote monitoring centres generate 20 percent of revenue and is key to competitive advantage and a pillar in the business strategy.
"This innovation allowed GroundProbe to continue its core business globally during travel restrictions, which allowed for "We are still operational" marketing campaigns; all whilst competitors were severely impacted during lockdowns," he tells CIO Australia.
He adds there was a lot of work to do bring employees and managers along on the journey to achieve broad acceptance. Scenario-based training with engineers was managed by the IT team to ensure that they were comfortable prior to using the technology with customers.
It was one of several key digital projects overseen by Serrano and his team over the past several years as they sought to transition the company's entrenched legacy systems and processes.
These included automation of business processes across finance and HR, automating manufacturing power applications, drawing up a global online maintenance roster and IoT GPS logistics trackers.
It was also decided GroundProbe needed to get smarter with data. Serrano and the team developed an AI-driven application to monitor and predict maintenance events, as well as employing AI to automate translation of documents into multiple languages, reaping significant costs savings.
"Over the past few years, GroundProbe has been on a digital transformational journey to ensure our IT services are flexible and scalable to limit any constraints from our legacy infrastructure," Serrano says.
Key to this – pre-COVID – was supporting a far more mobile workforce in servicing the company's customers in more than 30 countries, supported by offices in Australia, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Europe.
Communicating on projects and strategy within the team, as well as to management and the wider organisation is critical.
As part of the GroundProbe Leadership team, Serrano delivers business updates every quarter, globally, across every region, highlighting strategic technology projects and identifying implications for the organisation as well as individual staff. He also introduced the technology webinar series for employee engagement, with the most recent Microsoft Teams webinar attended by 60 percent of the organisation with extremely positive feedback.
Failure flavour
One of Serrano's favourite quotes is from American author Truman Capote, who wrote: failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour.
"If you are going to fail, fail fast, and get back up straight away and take away what you did right and what you did wrong," Serrano says.
Key to his success, he explains, is having a genuine commitment to workplace diversity. I fact, he's seen within GroundProbe as being something of a diversity champion, being on the boards of people-with-disability champions SpecialCare Central, as well as the national diversity and inclusion council within the Australian Computer Society (ACS). Serrano also established a cultural diversity program at GroundProbe to increase awareness of the issue.
Complementing this, he created and leads an internship program where migrants are mentored and given real-world work experience, in between his speaking engagements at 'future pathways' programs encouraging high-school students to seek careers within the tech industry.
Each of his nine reports have had long term career plans mapped out for them, in parallel with structured training programs.
Serrano also holds monthly mentoring sessions discussing his reports' personal and professional aspirations and how he (and GroundProbe) can assist achieving them as the business scales.
Championing a culture of always learning in his team, technical training and higher education are encouraged and paid for as well as attending technical workshops and conferences for innovative ideas.
Technical training and professional memberships have been expanded to key individuals in other departments with an interest in AI, automation, and analytics.
