The pandemic changed a lot for workers, including
where they work. A study conducted early in the outbreak showed nearly one-third of U.S. workers were working from their homes and presumably, some of those workers won’t want to return to the office when their employers call them back. “Working from home can provide employees many benefits,” says Ray Luther, executive director of the Partnership for Coaching Excellence and Personal Leadership at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, “including a much shorter commute time, fewer distractions, and a sense of freedom, that might not come from reporting to an office every day.”
Congresswoman-elect Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., warns against the left’s movement towards socialism on ‘Fox & Friends.’
Rep.-elect Victoria Spartz grew up in Soviet-controlled Ukraine and saw the misery that occurs when socialism fails. So the incoming GOP representative is alarmed by how the left, especially young people, have embraced socialism here in America as a solution.
She left Ukraine at the age of 21 for America for the promise of love and new opportunities. Yet 21 years later, Spartz says her journey has come full circle as socialism is again at her doorstep. [I m] going full circle in my 42 years of life. It s unbelievable for me, Spartz, R-Ind., told Fox News in a recent interview in Washington. Of all of the countries in the world, our country put so much against this utopic socialistic idea that it s crazy for me to see how quickly we made the turn to the left.
Volunteering is known to provide numerous benefits not only to society generally but also to those who engage in it. With unemployment during COVID-19 reaching such extreme levels, the opportunities for volunteering have risen as people have had more time on their hands.
Unfortunately, new research from Indiana University Kelley School of Business suggests that when people volunteer, while also receiving state unemployment support, they’re often looked at suspiciously by others, who believe they’re wasting time that should be spent trying to find a job.
“We found that aid recipients are scrutinized to a greater extent than those who are working, including the underemployed, with observers demonstrating a strong bias toward believing that aid recipients should be using their time to pursue employment opportunities above all else,” the researchers explain.

With distance learning leading to an increase in screen time, every day, students are seen sporting their new trendy blue light glasses in Zoom classes. Not only do the glasses make them look good, but they also protect their eyes from the harmful blue light emitted from computer and phone screens.
Blue light is everywhere; in fact, we get most of our exposure from the sunlight. But there are also many artificial sources of blue light such as the display screens of televisions, computers, smartphones and other digital devices.
Now blue light itself wouldn’t be a problem, except that the structure of our eyes is not capable of blocking it, so virtually all visible blue light passes through and reaches the retina.
