Author Linda Pauwels Presents Poetic Personal Side of Airline Pilots in New Book; Proceeds will help pilots furloughed due to COVID-19 pandemic

DALLAS, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Airline pilots are the human hearts, bodies and souls of flights transporting people and goods to many destinations every day.

DALLAS, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Airline pilots are the human hearts, bodies and souls of flights transporting people and goods to many destinations every day. One captain is using the power of poetic words created by these pilots as the fuel engine to soar into readers’ hearts and minds.

Captain Linda Pauwels, instructor pilot on the Boeing 787 and former aviation columnist for the Orange County Register, will debut her new book called «Beyond Haiku: Pilots Write Poetry» by Fig Factor Media Publishing this month. The book showcases 51 original haikus, 20 short poems and seven pieces of philosophical prose from 38 pilots with beautiful illustrations from their children. All of the book’s proceeds from «Beyond Haiku» will go to the Allied Pilots Association Emergency Relief and Scholarship Fund, to provide support for pilots furloughed due to the industry effects of COVID-19.

Pauwels said that the book’s creation came from participating in an internal pilot online discussion forum five years ago. The initial thread she started was called Morning Haiku.

«I started it because in addition to my being a pilot, I also have academic interests,» she explained. «One of those interests is stress resilience. I was doing a Ph.D. program that investigated job stress in airline pilots. I was unable to complete that program because my son had a serious injury. I withdrew from the program but I had started my dissertation. I had a couple of chapters about the effects of poetry on wellbeing and that always interested me.»

At first, the thread was not well liked, especially by the mostly male pilots, she added. When Pauwels presented works from famous Japanese and other ancient poets and consulted poetry websites for other materials, those posts piqued participants’ interests and they contributed. In fact, the book’s poetry came mostly from this discussion thread.

Pauwels’ idea for her new work was to for it to be like a chapbook. She explained the term, which dates back to the 1600s, describes small books of poetry with illustrations handed out, sold or distributed to people. The book contains that spirit but with a modern feel.

She sees two kinds of audiences appreciating her book. To readers who work in the airline industry, they will understand the process of pilots writing haikus, personal perspectives of flying, what they see in terms of nature and beauty and slice of life vignettes of things that are important to them, especially love, hearth and home. Those who are outside that audience segment, they will see pilots in a different light.

«I’ve done a lot of projects in my life from flying to teaching,» she said. «This book project, by far, is the most soulful project I’ve done. I say this because I’m seeing how the children were able to create illustrations in their own style and how they were excited to see them featured in the book. The pilots who have shared their poetry with me, their personal creations- some of these poems are poignant and deeply touching. I felt somewhat overwhelmed that they would entrust me to put all of this together and to share it with others.»

«Beyond Haiku» is available on Amazon.com. For more information about «Beyond Haiku», visit http://www.beyondhaiku.com/.

Travel Receives a Knockout Blow from the Pandemic. Business Travel Crumbles to New Lows at -54%.

The global market for Business Travel is expected to decline by -54% in the year 2020 and -4.5% in the year 2021 and thereafter recover to reach US$829.5 billion by the year 2027, trailing a post COVID-19 CAGR of 3% over the analysis period 2020 through 2027.

The travel industry has been one of the worst hit sectors due to the COVID-19 outbreak, with lockdowns, travel bans, restrictions and quarantines denting revenue generation for the industry. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on business travel has been particularly severe. Business travel almost came to a standstill during the pandemic, forcing many companies to hold virtual meetings due to stay-at-home restrictions.

With over 90% of the global population in countries or territories with some form of travel restrictions and lockdowns, many international events and conferences have been cancelled or postponed while some essential meetings are being scheduled using virtual platforms. Many companies have witnessed the benefits of digital solutions at their disposal for effective remote working. This reduces not only energy consumption but also maintenance costs and travel emissions. Hence some businesses may continue the trend of remote working even after the travel restrictions are lifted. In April 2020, during the early days of global COVID-19 spread, 98% of the member countries of GBTA (Global Business Travel Association) cancelled their international business tours and 92% of them halted all or most of their domestic trips.

Business travel can be defined as domestic or international travel undertaken by employees to attend various business-related activities including meetings, product launches, trade shows and marketing of companies to further improve business prospects. Comprising work, entertainment, accommodation and transportation, business travel is among the major contributors to the global economy. Employees of multinational organizations often travel to destinations in various countries for business and marketing purposes.

There are a variety of agencies and travel companies in the market addressing the needs of the business travel industry, which compete based on safety measures, service portfolios, government licensing and pricing. Growth in business travel has provided organizations the option of managing travel requirements of their employees using travel programs, services and online self-booking tools offered by travel management corporations. Corporate business travels until now was a vital part of a company’s operations. However, in the future, in-person meetings will be greatly reduced and most of the work will be managed from homes using advanced tools. Various new tools that are capable of replacing physical meetings is evolving rapidly.

A key reason for business travel is for meeting suppliers and customers and video calls show strong potential to replace the in-person meetings, resulting in less business travels for the sales persons. Business travels that are meant for trainings and other learning activities will also be reduced and e-learning will witness rapid adoption rates. Another major travel reason is to motivate and reward customers or employees which can also be carried out remotely. Employees of most companies have already become familiar with virtual meetings due to the pandemic, thus reducing significance of face-to-face meetings. Many businesses have adapted to the new trend in a much better way and will continue to retain these changes.

The continuing spread of COVID-19 infections worldwide is expected mute all face-to-face global gatherings in the year 2020. The rising popularity and success of cloud videoconferencing services is expected to permanently kill all non-essential business travel. Cross-border travel is set to become complicated & confusing with regulations like health passports expected to disincentives corporate travel plans. The only opportunities for growth will come from life sciences companies were business travel is necessary for training.

In the post COVID-19 period, millennials born after the mid-90s who are likely to rule the workplace will significantly influence dynamics of whatever is left of the travel industry. Also known as Gen Z, Millennials are always connected to smartphones and social media, seek fast Wi-Fi and use hash tags to describe objects and feelings. Business travel will be highly influenced by them over the next decade with their desire to be in a certain place only at a certain time. The travel sector will facilitate this need by using multiple options IoT has to offer. With this as a goal, key travel players are using the digital platform to make the right offer to the right customer at the right time. IoT will make this possible with personalization of all services connected to the travel industry.

Internet of things (IoT) & artificial intelligence (AI) will increasingly be introduced in the travel, hotel and airline sectors to improve customer satisfaction. AI and ML can also differentiate between junior and senior level executives and suggest booking options based on the eligibility as well as the personal preferences of the user. In addition, AI and ML can simplify expense reports as employees will need to just upload photos of receipts as opposed to filling out stipulated forms.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the «Company» or «Yum China«, NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) continues to enhance the customer experience through the use of innovative and digital technologies across its brands. In 2020, the Company was among the first to pilot self-driving cars and smart meal lockers. In addition, interactive technologies have been introduced to enhance the dining experience, including the newly upgraded «KFC Super Dessert Station» and immersive restaurants.

«Against the unprecedented backdrop of COVID-19, the need for rapid innovation in our industry has never been greater. Customer preferences are constantly evolving, and new technologies are transforming the way we interact with our stakeholders,» said Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China. «We will continue to explore and roll out new and exciting innovations to better serve our customers and communities and drive sustainable growth.»

Pizza Hut and KFC Self-Driving Cars

In November 2020, Pizza Hut and KFC piloted a fleet of self-driving cars on the streets of Shanghai. Consumers were able to view breakfast options via a transparent display window and order through their mobile phones by scanning a QR code. After payment, the door of the car will automatically open and the order can be taken away by the customer. Meanwhile, to maintain meal quality standards, the car is equipped with proper insulation to ensure products are kept at the appropriate temperature. Additionally, the car supports sales by intelligently selecting its location based on data such as crowd density and customer order patterns. For example, during breakfast hours the car may locate itself near a subway station to capture commuter traffic, before moving to an office park during lunch. The mix of products available is also adjusted according to the time of day.

Smart Lockers Bolster Contactless Options

Early in 2020, KFC piloted smart lockers at select restaurants in Shanghai and Hangzhou, allowing customers to quickly collect their takeaway orders using their mobile phones. The smart lockers reduce the need for human contact and waiting lines, strengthening social distancing during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Outside its restaurants, KFC has set up smart lockers at busy locations such as office buildings.

Smart lockers

Fully Automated «KFC Super Dessert Station»

Desserts remain an important growth area for Yum China. In 2020, KFC’s fully automated dessert station was upgraded to offer customers a more enjoyable and unique DIY experience. In the upgraded version of KFC’s unmanned dessert station, the «KFC Super Dessert Station», customers need only scan a QR code to order and select preferred toppings, after which a robotic arm will prepare the ice cream and hand it to them. As of November 2020, the newly upgraded «KFC Super Dessert Station» is available at select stores in 7 cities.  

KFC Super Dessert Station

Creating an Immersive and Engaging Dining Experience

KFC has introduced motion-sensing technology to bring an immersive and highly entertaining virtual experience to play areas. An ultra-clear and large screen is installed in the play area, together with a fitness game «KFC Happy Farm», capturing children’s movement in real time. It offers children an enjoyable and interactive game experience, while providing an opportunity for them to exercise and be active.

Immersive and engaging dining experience

Additionally, Pizza Hut has introduced 5D immersive designs in some restaurants. In a recent collaboration to support the promotion of local cultural heritage, Pizza Hut displayed a 5D animation of Qiang embroidery patterns in select restaurants. Using multi-sensory technology, including visual projections and surround sound, Pizza Hut transformed the dining experience of participating restaurants, giving the look and feel of a museum.

5D immserive design

In the process of constantly upgrading the overall customer experience, Yum China seamlessly combines aspects of food, technology and culture. The Company’s relentless commitment to innovation is a major force behind its growth strategy, and a powerful digital ecosystem integrating online platforms with offline stores, is key to enhancing the customer experience with more fun and convenience.

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Looking for a specialty license plate in Texas? Well, it’s easier to find one now than ever before! The website of the state’s official specialty license plate vendor, My Plates, is now home to all 450+ specialty license plates in Texas. The new site launch achieves the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) objective for the plate vendor to build a new online store that provides the public with the convenience of a one-stop-shop to acquire all specialty license plates, ending visits to multiple website stores.

Until now, the state’s TxDMV-hosted website store offered more than 350 specialty plates, while separately the My Plates vendor website store offered an additional 120+ plates. Now Texans can simply go to the one online plate store that has it all, http://www.myplates.com .

When shopping the new http://www.myplates.com, Texans can be assured that all plates previously hosted on the TxDMV site remain at that same pricing, nothing has changed, except for convenience! Plates on the new site now range from as low as $30 a year, with the addition of personalization for as little as $40 a year. The new http://www.myplates.com also hosts all the state qualifying and military plates that the TxDMV previously hosted; these often available at no cost to qualifying Texans.

Also new is the responsive nature of the revamped My Plates website, making it simple for Texans to view, create and order their desired specialty plates across multiple different screen platforms. Now shop easily on your laptop, tablet or mobile phone.

A new marketing campaign is planned to launch in January 2021 that will showcase the new one-stop-shop for specialty license plates, letting Texans know that My Plates has got it all. Whether you’re looking for a military plate, a conservation plate or a cause related charity plate, My Plates has got that. Importantly, My Plates will still offer their existing range of exciting vendor plate designs including Texas’ most popular, Classic Black, that can hold a seven-letter personalized message.

«We’re very pleased with the success of the program to date, all thanks to the many Texans that have embraced and supported this program and we look forward to delivering continued success for the State of Texas» said My Plates President Steve Farrar.

International student enrollment at renowned German universities made possible by the Schloss-Schule Kirchberg

Why German language skills do not have to stand in the way of studying

Why German language skills do not have to stand in the way of studying

KIRCHBERG AN DER JAGST, Germany, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — German university degrees enjoy an excellent global reputation, particularly in technical and natural science subjects. In addition: German universities charge little or no tuition fees. The country is also considered the epitome of international stability. Despite this, many international students are unsure about studying in Germany. One German boarding school, the Schloss-Schule Kirchberg, wants to help change that – and has therefore specialized in giving international students access to renowned German universities. The Schloss-Schule is convinced that attending a specialized boarding school can give foreign students decisive support.

The German language is considered one of the biggest hurdles to attending school or university in Germany. Therefore, the Schloss-Schule has set up a high school prep course that specializes in meeting the needs of foreign students. In close cooperation with the school, they aim to help young people learn German and acquire the language skills they need to enroll in school and, later, university – even without previous language knowledge. The results speak for themselves: The last year of international school leavers from the Schloss-Schule achieved an average of 10.5 points out of a total of 15 – 4.5 points better than the overall school average with a high percentage of native speakers.

Many foreign students also perceive the often very foreign German culture and the complex German educational system as a hurdle on the way to studying in Germany. But here, too, a specialized boarding school like the Schloss-Schule Kirchberg offers decisive assistance: firstly, by providing foreign students with comprehensive support from day one (airport pick-up, visa support, etc.) as well as an especially insightful introduction to the German culture and educational system. Above all, however, because the Schloss-Schule has two very decisive advantages: 1. Particularly intensive supervision, exemplified among other things by a student to teacher/educator ratio of 1:6. 2. Around 85% of students (consisting of both boarding and day students) are German, ensuring that foreign students are immersed in German language and culture through the predominantly German student body.

Schloss-Schule Kirchberg:

Founded in 1914 in Baden-Württemberg, the Schloss-Schule Kirchberg is one of the best-known boarding schools in Germany. As a non-ideological private school and a state-recognized grammar school, it offers around 200 day and 100 boarding school students optimal learning and development opportunities.
