• Turkish Airlines prepares for Istanbul New Airport amid rumors of stake…

  Matt Falcus Transportation Technology & Automotive

  Turkish Airlines, on the back of its highest ever load factors, has undertaken a trial operation of the Istanbul New Airport and announced plans for the largest movement of equipment in civil aviation history ahead of its October opening. It has certainly been a momentous time for the Turkish flag carrier and its growing dominance of air travel in Europe and the Middle East. On Aug. 9, the airline reported it carried a record 7.5 million passengers and 119,000 tons of cargo in July, marking its best ever month, with a $258 million net operating profit in the first half of 2018.

• How to break free when ‘last-minute’ is normal

  Deborah Ike Religious Community

  It’s Thursday afternoon, and no one knows what announcements the campus host needs to make on Sunday. You’re two weeks out from Christmas, and your team is scrambling to pull everything together. Your staff typically works late nights leading up to a big deadline, and you’re eating heartburn chews like candy to deal with the stress. Is this how ministry works? Is all this chaos necessary to reach the lost and make disciples?

• Flexible learning starts with flexible classroom spaces

  Brian Stack Education

  The latest craze with my New Hampshire high school teachers is to supplement, or in some cases replace, their institutional, inflexible classroom furniture with more student-friendly options. In a school with a very tiny furniture budget, my staff has accomplished this task by soliciting donations, applying for grants, and in some cases, building their own furniture. A walk through the few re-imagined spaces that we have completed thus far is reminiscent of a trip through a trendy Ikea showroom.

• Are you an opportunist or a contributor?

  Frank R. Myers Law Enforcement, Defense & Security

  Throughout a career, you will encounter many different types of individuals, each with unique personalities. You will soon learn to pick out what a person’s intentions, morals and/or standards are. In other words, "where they are coming from." I have realized that there are those individuals, unfortunately, that just come to work, do the bare minimum, don’t get involved in anything, and just put their time in to collect a paycheck and reap benefits offered to them.

• Big Sur back in action as Highway 1 reopens

  Dave G. Houser Recreation & Leisure

  California’s most famous road trip is back on. For the first time in 14 months, Highway 1 — aka the Pacific Coast Highway — is open without interruption, after a quarter-mile chunk of it in Big Sur was wiped away in a massive landslide last year. Over the years, landslides have taken out portions of the iconic highway, but none were as big as the so-called Mud Creek slide in May 2017, when more than 6 million cubic yards of earth collapsed into the sea following torrential rains.

• Restaurants create social buzz, opportunity for hotel marketers

  Bambi Majumdar Travel, Hospitality & Event Management

  The recent 2018 Global Digital Report from We Are Social and Hootsuite revealed that a million new social media users are "born" every day. This is an incredible opportunity for hotel marketers. The 2018 CMO Survey showed that companies are spending 12 percent of their marketing budgets on social media. This percentage will accelerate in the coming years. Before they allocate budgets, it is essential that hotel marketers understand what kind of social posts work for them. A generic plan will not work.

• 4 ways to use social media to humanize your company

  Emma Fitzpatrick Marketing

  The content you publish. The voice you cultivate. The way you respond to customers. On social media, all these elements work in tandem to help you form a better relationship with your followers. The more customers develop a relationship and emotional connection with a company, the more they humanize you. Customers think of you less like a business that delivers a service and more like a friend who has a distinct personality and identity they connect with. Jump-start this process by proactively humanizing your company on social. Here’s how.

• Fun with task-based language learning

  Sheilamary Koch Education

  If you’ve studied a new language, you probably remember the moment you learned certain words. For me, it was a day about 20 years ago when I learned the difference between wallet and highway in Spanish. At a bus station in Oaxaca, Mexico, the ticket counter agent explained that my bus was behind schedule and recommended not travelling that day due to something about my wallet, or so I thought. If I’d had a teacher or the right dictionary along, my mistaken assumption would’ve been clear right then.

• My child doesn’t get enough sleep: Dangers and remedies

  Howard Margolis Education

  Many special and general education students of all ages and achievement levels don’t get enough sleep. They suffer from sleep deprivation. They routinely get far less than the roughly eight to 10 hours of sleep they need. The long-term consequences of sleep deprivation put them at serious risk for obesity, diabetes, accidents, heart disease, and premature death. In school, at home, and with friends, the consequences are immediate.

  Lisa Mulcahy Healthcare Administration

  Mobile medical units have proven to be a money-saving, health-boosting boon to patients across the U.S., and in other countries as well. Many doctors are eager to expand care to more patients by directly traveling into their communities, but aren't really clear on how to properly utilize a mobile medical unit for maximum positive impact. Here's everything you need to know about the benefits of putting your practice on the road, so you can truly improve the lives of those you meet and treat.
