The iconic Land Rover has finally gone out of production, having been introduced in 1948. The car here, the 90, arrived in 1984 effectively replacing the Series 3 although it benefitted from revised front end styling and mechanical changes including a swap from leaf springs to coils and an improved four-wheel drive system. Despite the changes, it was still pretty rudimentary to drive but coped brilliantly off-road. A range of diesel engines were fitted – mostly 2.5-litre units – while a more powerful and efficient turbodiesel was added in 1986, and there was also the option of a powerful but thirsty V8 petrol. The model was renamed the Defender in 1990.
- Galvanic corrosion around aluminium body panels, especially the doors, front wings, and tailgate
The Checklist
- The doors and tailgate for worn hinges as the resulting misalignment will cause water leaks; replacements are cheap and easy to fit. Big panel gaps are normal, though, while the aluminium panels are susceptible to dents
- For corrosion in the chassis, concentrating on the body mounting points, the outriggers, the rear cross-member, and around the foot wells. You're looking at upwards of £4000 to replace a really bad one, and vehicles used on a farm are often most at risk
- Around the bulkhead for rot. It's not an easy repair, and if it's gone too far sorting it properly can exceed £3000
- The diesel engines for oil leaks, excessive exhaust smoke, and a complete lack of servicing. Re nement is poor, too
- That V8s aren't suffering from neglected oil changes which leads to camshaft wear. Look for evidence of head gasket failure, too, so keep an eye out for signs of overheating
- To see which engine is fitted. Swaps are common, and it's often the easiest way of sorting a very tired unit
- The four-wheel drive system is operating as it should, and for signs of oil leaks from the gearbox and transfer box as they can be hard to cure completely. Hard use, especially towing, can lead to synchromesh failure so ensure gears engage cleanly
- That the differentials aren't excessively noisy.
- If you suspect issues with the diff locks, get professional advice as they can be tricky to sort
- That the clutch isn't slipping, especially on abused towing vehicles
- For clunks and groans from the driveline which indicate excessively worn drive shaft and prop shaft joints
- The suspension for wear in the joints, and for corrosion around the mountings. Off-road abuse will take its toll, and while replacing bushes and joints isn't dif cult factor it into the asking price
- For worn steering and brakes. An overhaul of the latter isn't dif cult but budget accordingly
- That the cabin isn't overly scruffy or damaged. Build and material quality was pretty dire, but it should all still work okay
- That the cabin isn't too damp. Water leaks are common, and while annoying, are generally easy to fix. Worn or damaged door seals are often the culprit
- That electrics are functioning okay. Repairs are straightforward, but the wiring could have been bodged by previous owners adding extra equipment

What you can't see can hurt you. The movie catchphrase from Blumhouse's recent hit "The Invisible Man," directed by Leigh Whannell, seems coincidentally relevant during the current coronavirus pandemic — particularly when President Trump called COVID-19 "the invisible enemy." It is a timely admonition for anyone: the threat is lurking.
A successful adaptation of H. G. Wells' literary classic "The Invisible Man" with a modern feminist spin, the 2020 film of the same name focuses on the ugly fallout of an abusive relationship. Opening with the unnerving escape of Cecilia (Elizabeth Moss) from a deluxe mansion above the ocean in the middle of the night, the film tracks the tortuous path of the haunted and hunted damsel. The mansion belongs to her boyfriend Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), an accomplished but morbidly possessive optics scientist. To leave the house, Cecilia passes through a succession of security doors, disables security cameras, climbs through the fencing walls and runs through the woods to the highway, where she anxiously awaits her sister Emily (Harriet Dyer). Compared to the 1933 adaptation directed by James Whale, this version gives little backstory to the mad scientist. It is only through the perspective of Cecilia that the film immerses us in an experience of panoramic paranoia, unspoken fear and heartbreaking helplessness and offers insights into the mysterious and dangerous person Adrian is.
Alfred Hitchcock famously distinguished a bomb going off from the audience anticipating it to go off, and Whannell deftly and mischievously plays with this audience expectation — sometimes too playfully. After Adrian's suspicious suicide, Cecilia soon comes to believe he is not dead but is preying on her in inexplicable ways. The audience knows better. After repeated attempts to conquer her fear of going outside, Cecilia eventually gathers her courage to step outside the house to feel the peace of the night. Just when she takes a deep breath in relaxation, another mist of breath appears beside her. She goes inside and leaves the door half closed, unknowingly allowing the threat to follow her.
Other signs further reveal that Cecilia is not yet free from danger, including a missing knife from the kitchen, a handprint on the shower door, an eerie flash in the dark and a phone ringing from the attic. Whannell leaves you in suspense as if putting a chokehold on your neck, but always gives you just enough space to breathe. Particularly suffocating is the film's extensive use of negative space and aimless camera movement that resembles a roaming ghost. The visual kenophobia is most evident when Cecilia is left alone — when nobody trusts her anymore and she has to take matters into her own hands.
While Cecilia's constant uptightness could be understandably interpreted by those around her as a manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder, she is never a delusional lunatic. Compared to the gory thrills and blatant violence later in the film, Cecilia's isolation from and distrust of others is the lasting horror of the story.
This specific brand of horror may be especially potent right now because it crosses the boundary into reality. Those who took early precautions and tried to convince the public about the dangers of COVID-19 were sniffed at and discriminated against — made to experience a fate of distrust similar to Cecilia's. Despite the examples of China, Italy and South Korea, as well as early warnings from both health experts and politicians, the American government and media continued to downplay the situation until March 13. The effect of this denial was confusion and frustration. Asians and Asian-Americans with families in China who learned about the dire consequences of the situation the hard way were shamed, and health experts who advocated for early preventions were blamed for fear mongering. People seem to forget we are all together on the same sinking boat.
Elizabeth Moss' brilliant portrayal of Cecilia's assorted and sometimes conflicting emotions may be attributed to experience gained from her previous roles. In 2007, Moss co-starred in "Mad Men" as Peggy Olson, a talented and ambitious ingenue competing in the 1960s male-dominated business of marketing. In 2017, Hulu's adaptation of Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" features Moss as June Osborne, an ordinary mother and wife who is captured as a child-bearing slave in a future dystopian society. Both of these women are strong and resilient, writhing and surviving through hurdles and struggles — sometimes successfully and often not — and the audience is able to see these qualities in Cecilia as well. Involuntary as her resistance is as she scrambles to rid herself and her loved ones of Adrian, she indubitably foresees the lurking danger when nobody else does and faces it head on. Her wit in a battle scene in the house is extraordinary, and her consistent demonstration of courage guised in despair has larger implications about what damage can occur when nobody takes heed of warnings. She is fighting back against the odds, through which we are able to see part of ourselves. If we are blinded by our smug self-deceit for too long, we might not be able to act before the invisible force hits us.

Caroline Seligman, Limitless Expansion
As there is no known cure for Misophonia, I take a harm reduction, mindfulness based, and experimental approach to treatment. If there is no know immediate cure, there can still be relief. I work with clients to identify the areas of life most impacted by Misophonia and implement interventions to relieve the suffering. These interventions can involve audiological tools, lifestyle adjustments, conflict management and communication coaching, as well as more experimental exploration including novel treatments such as psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. In New York, I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). For out of state clients, I work as a coach and help you identify resources in your area and assist with preparation and integration.
I have seen these results in my patients:
A deeper understanding of internal and external boundaries, a reduction in shame around having Misophonia (a greater acceptance of what is), stronger self- advocacy skills around Misophonia related interpersonal challenges.
I also have Misophonia so I know on a deeply personal level the struggle and the suffering you are facing. No matter the issue at hand, healing always begins with acceptance. Acceptance doesn't not mean that you like it or would ever choose it, but it is an acknowledgement of what IS. Finding acceptance for something like Misophonia can seem counterproductive and impossible, especially when you are searching for treatment. Acceptance is the first step toward managing your Misophonia and helping others in your life come to accept it as well. Acceptance is not the only step though! There is hope for you if you suffer from Misophonia. I am here to help you find relief.

Over the years we have worked with thousands of clients and fitness professionals. One thing that we have noticed with the majority of the programs that people are doing is that people are skipping very small steps in their training programs.
Let's face it, people want to get after it, work hard, and do the most challenging exercises possible. This way they can get the best results possible as fast as possible. The problem is, this theory has a major flaw. Don't get me wrong, we both think it's good to get after it and work as hard as possible, but when a small step is skipped, the entire process becomes dysfunctional.
Does this even apply to you? Do you have clients that:
Have a lot of 1's on the FMS
Have movement quality issues
Keep getting nagging injuries
Always have bad form
Are elderly
Are athletes that need top-notch movement prep
I'm positive that you do, because we ALL have at least some clients like this. So what do you do to make sure you are not skipping any steps in your training programs?
We build solid foundations with our clients by taking them through developmental sequencing, or developmental movement re-patterning. This process takes you through corrective exercise progressions for each developmental position, allowing you to re-build your clients just like we developed as babies in the first place. This sequence has been proven time and time again to be extremely effective in fixing any issues your clients may have, making them as injury free, and efficient as possible.
The key is to make sure that your client has proper posture and breathing in each position.
Just start your program with the movements that your clients can do in good posture with good breathing. You may be surprised at the compensations that you see when put your clients in perfect form and ask them to take a breath in certain positions during that movement. If they can't control a movement in this program while exhaling, they are not ready to move on.
*For more info check out an earlier blog post with an in-service on proper posture and breathing by position
Here are the basic positions that we need to see proficiency in before progressing to the next position.
- Supine position
- Prone position
- Rolling
- Quadruped Position
- Prone 2
- Crawling
- Kneeling Position
- Transitional Movements like Turkish Get Ups
- Bilateral Stance, Split Stance, and Stride Stance
Here is an example of a foundational progression starting in the first position, supine.
- Supine Breathing
- 3 Month Breathing
- Pelvic Tilt
- Supine Cross Connecting
- Leg Lowering 1
- Leg Lowering 1.5
- Dead Bug with Arms and Legs
- Dead Bug with Cross Connect
Once the client is proficient on these exercises and demonstrates proper breathing throughout the movements we progress them to the next position, prone, on so on until they are proficient in all the foundational positions.
We think of this program like a continuum. We can either start at the beginning of the continuum or use the Functional Movement Screen to show you were to begin on the continuum to expedite the process.
Here is our rationale on how that works:
- Active Straight Leg Raise = Supine
- Shoulder Mobility = Supine or Prone
- Rotary Stability = Rolling, Quadruped, or Crawling
- Trunk Stability Push Up = Prone 2
- In Line Lunge = ½ Kneeling or Split Stance
- Hurdle Step = Rolling, ½ Kneeling, and Stride Stance
- Overhead Deep Squat = Too much of a gray area
Honestly, any of these issues could stem from a problem in the supine position, but this is just a general guide to show how the Functional Movement Screen relates back to developmental sequencing as well.
We want to make this easy for you.
Obviously learning the entire process is more than a blog post. That is why we have put together a list of our top foundational exercises progressions for each position, videos for each, and step by step instructions in our newest resource: Building a Foundation
Check it out and let us know what you think. Also, what are your thoughts and developmental sequencing? Let us know in the comments sections below.

Just as Jersey City, NJ was voting to add the Muslim holidays of Eid to their school calendar, Philadelphia reached a decision to add the holidays to their calendar.
Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington, called the timing of Philadelphia's announcement significant.
"These are like rays of light in the darkness," he said, noting a rise in anti-Muslim sentiments fueled in part by the comments of presidential candidate Donald Trump.
New York, one of the first major city to vote last year to close schools for the two Eid's, has led the way for other smaller school systems to add these holidays to their calendar, along with Massachusetts and Vermont.
Montgomery County schools, Maryland largest suburban Washington school system, had a significant win over closing school for the Muslim holidays, starting September 2016.
But Howard County board members said that observing cultural and religious holidays was just as important, if not more valuable, than curricular time for students.
"I know people that have gone to the synagogue for Jewish celebrations on Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana who aren't Jewish, to learn about the culture and festivities with the day off," Rachel Lin, a student board member said. "If we did have school those days, it would be basically a normal school day and nobody would care enough to research it."
Because of the need for separation between church and state, holidays cannot be given to students for religious reasons, but rather must be given for logistical reasons. This requires more research and data of the amount of absenteeism in each county for Muslim students taking off these days.
"What I need to know is at what point, at what percentage of student absenteeism, is there a negative impact on our school system and therefore requires us to close schools for everyone," board member Sandie French said. "What is that tipping point? And it's changing. I think that we need to be more informed right now."
Jean Xu, president of the Chinese American Parents Association, wrote in an email, "School is a place to foster well-rounded children who are proud of who they are, and where they come from. School is also a place to raise future citizens who will contribute to this country as all-Americans when they grow up. A school system that recognizes and accommodates family traditions will certainly help achieving this goal in a diverse society."

Last week's article announcing a new brew pub being developed at Austin and Lake was welcome news [Oak Park OKs $385K in incentives for brewery, News, Feb. 10]. Sadly, the comments for the article, particularly those attached to the Facebook posting of the article, were not as welcome. %u200B
Oak Parkers, who I am sure feel proud of their community, publicly declared that a business on Austin just can't make it. Many included racialized inferences that indicated their discomfort with patronizing a business near an African American neighborhood. This included implications that being on Austin Boulevard is akin to asking for trouble.%u200B
We all have laments about online comments. But these comments%u200B were illuminating because they demonstrated the types of negativity, myths, and stereotypes that %u200Busually get passed around Oak Park in a more subtle manner. Many %u200Bbelieve this type of talk is a relic of the past. Yet %u200Bit is all too common and akin to the types of attitudes%u200B and misinformation%u200B %u200Bthat we deal with at the Housing Center every day.
If you are surprised fellow Oak Parkers would talk this way about a new business opening up on Austin Boulevard, I have worse news for you. It happens frequently when they talk to others about where to live in Oak Park. The staff at the Housing Center, landlords, and real estate agents know all too well how much badmouthing the eastern part of the village affects the market. At the Housing Center, it is nearly a daily occurrence to hear that a prospective tenant was told %u200B%u200Bby an Oak Parker that they should avoid living east of Ridgeland. Austin Boulevard is especially denigrated.
%u200BT%u200Bhis sabotage of our community is %u200Bnot uncommon, %u200Band i%u200Bt doesn't just come from a fringe group of Oak Parkers. It is consistent and it includes both overt and more subtle commentary. Most of the time, I'm sure no malice%u200B is intended%u200B. Yet while each of these instances might seem innocuous, they are not. Each disparagement makes an impact. In aggregate, they form an impression that becomes the conventional wisdom.
Our community is a wonderful place to live, each and every block of it. If there's anything to complain about, it's that we don't have enough businesses opening up in the eastern business districts of Oak Park.
That won't be easy to change if we don't change the way we talk about our own community.

Some of the bigger companies do their own leasing. I suppose they can set the length of the lease to whatever but the standard lease options are
-12 months
-24 months
-36 months
-48 months
-60 months
A lot of smart people have said to never include service in the lease but I honestly don't understand the rational. In fact, I see it just the opposite.
The only argument (in my opinion) against doing this is that toner/supplies could increase over the life of the lease and the service contract becomes unprofitable. However, in most service contracts there's usually a clause that says the service contract will not increase above a certain level. Also, I've never had toner/supplies to increase to the point that it made a difference in profits. Not really.
Just to wrap this up, I think it's always better for the money to sit in my bank account than that of the customer. Anything could happen and you never collect that money. But if you get it upfront, no worries.

Thailand and Its Social SystemThailand
Thai society is loosely structured, without clans or rigorous course lines. The monogamous family is the fundamental social network.
Many Thai reside in villages. These professionally integrated communities respect the influence of seniors and customary patron-client connections, which function as agencies of social control. Government routines, by comparison, constitute an unwelcome intrusion.
Local Trade and Craftsmanship
Local craftsmanship and trade come in the control of the Thai ethnic category, however the remote marketing of surplus produce is managed with itinerant Chinese traders. สมัครเรียน ราชภัฏ Thai farmers work their plots of property individually nevertheless pool their labor at harvest period. Young man villagers from metropolitan locations, specially the Korat, often journey to Bangkok to make their fortunes operating samlor (3-wheeled taxis), or working on construction projects. They build in squatter hutments adjacent to drainage canals or on the borders of the city. Most such migrants return home using their savings after a few years' absence.
Thai men tend to hope to civil service occupations or into authorities or army service as opposed to to business careers. Broadly , it is that the Thai women who engage in business. Educated middle class women operate realestate bureaus and also substantial small business ventures at the cities-functions that otherwise collapse to resident Chinese.
The Buddhist Eightfold Path of contemporary dwelling incorporates high ethical axioms for earning virtue by beating desire, however, the existing societal mores adapt the standard symbols of power. Socially potent are the demands connected with status, requiring deference and esteem from below and paternal concern from preceding. A person's status can be enriched with educational accomplishment. Different roads to status are civil-service appointments, where there are several grades, and the cultivation of useful personal and family relations.
Australian study and amounts have carried a high premium since the beginning of the 20th century. Foreign-trained professionals and professionals usually have some status job but they derive their main income from business or personal services. Within the status hierarchy, criticism by way of a poor is undesirable, which preserves the needed balance in the machine and is hence not ordinarily offered. Silence envelops contest for wealth and power over the top stages of Thai society. However, the care of governmental equilibrium requires that the perquisites of power ought to be shared within the elite community to be able to forestall armed coups as well as different expressions of rebellion. Ruling circles also needs to try to prevent hot grievances-such as high food prices, higher bus prices, and also extra guide taxes-that may create wide spread discontent. An unscrupulous individual that has functioned successfully within the hierarchical system is normally invisibly rather than criticized.
Adjustment to Change
There's a developing cultural difference between rural Thailand and Bangkok, a modern metropolis of some 6.4 million people. However, the difference between city and countryside is apparently somewhat less abrupt in Thailand than it is at the Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
One reason for this difference between Thailand and other Southeast Asian states is that the tenacity of traditional Thai societal norms under the pressure of a modern urban environment. Thailand's long experience with modernization sponsored by a unique kings, as opposed to enforced by foreigners, led to its capacity for tolerating and rationalizing paradoxical scenarios. Reverence for royalty and the insistence that power is exercised in the king's name, along with the inertia of this huge civil-service structure, respect for status, and the persistence of Thai identity as different from that of resident aliens, are all major elements contributing to the stability and unity of Thai society. Also, the country was spared the degradation of war and resulting in societal dislocation these days. The vitality of this Buddhist faith does much to bridge social gaps that prevail between your countryside and city.

HISSandaROAR now support UCS Metadata!
This has been a huge amount of work, and has also provided the opportunity to standardise naming, metadata and to correct any spelling mistakes. If you would like to learn more about the Universal Category System and why it is important, please visit the official UCS site HERE
How do you get UCS Metadata for HISSandaROAR?
All HISSandaROAR libraries now have UCS Metadata embedded, by default.
ALL downloads from Aug 11th, 2021 contain UCS metadata!
How do you get UCS Metadata for older HISSandaROAR libraries?
1. SoundMiner users are able to directly update the metadata for their existing libraries from within SoundMiner, which syncs and updates based on a combination of manufacturer metadata field "HISSandaROAR" and an audio fingerprint. Even if you have changed the names, SoundMiner will still identify and update the metadata. Nifty!
To update your HISSandaROAR Metadata, simply find all HISSandaROAR Libraries in SoundMiner and select them. Then go to DATABASE menu and select Lookup Metadata From Cloud
Your files will slowly be updated with UCS Metadata, like magic! Thanks Justin!
Confirming UCS Metadata is uploaded to SoundMiner Metadata cloud.
Please check all used fields, "Notes" = UCS Filename
UPDATE 20210913 TECH NOTE: Three early HISSandaROAR libraries do not update UCS correctly as the Manufacturer field is not set correctly to 'HISSandaROAR' – this is an easily fixed issue with these libraries:
To correct these, please select all media in these libraries in SoundMiner
Then edit metadata field: Manufacturer setting it to: HISSandaROAR
Then UCS update works as expected!
UPDATE 20211104 TECH NOTE: If SoundMiner will not update the metadata, so far there have been only two potential issues:
1. check every sound has the Manufacturer field correctly assigned to "HISSandaROAR"
2. check you are updating the original WAV files.
If you have converted the audio to another file format, or changed its sample rate, then SoundMiners auto-update will not work. If that is the case and you no longer have the original media then feel free to email me to request a new download.
2. Updated metadata is available for all libraries below, as an Excel spreadsheet and tab separated text. These can be used with whichever sound library app you use, to update their metadata. Please refer to the manual for your sound library app for methodology. Also note: Photos will have to be assigned to WAV files prior to embed of metadata. This is a significant amount of work! I literally spent entire days of my life dragging & dropping JPGs to WAV files…
HISSandaROAR Do Not Use UCS File Names – Why?
UCS Metadata is invaluable, but we do not use the proposed USC filename scheme for two reasons:
1. Text readability. Replacing space with underscore reduces readability, and a filename starting with metadata meant for machine-reading degrades readability further, essentially prioritizing machine reading over actual human readability.
2. IMHO Information theory best practice is to move from simplicity, towards complexity.
The primary aim of a filename? Can you instantly ID a sound by glancing at the first two words of its name, without having to think what does ABCxyz mean? Start simple, keep the complexity for those who want it.
Of course, it's a choice, and what ever works best for you is what's right.
NOTE: If you wish to use UCS filenames
1. Access them via the "Notes" field in our UCS metadata
2. Use Renamer spreadsheets, available below.
We provide renaming spreadsheets for use with batch renaming apps.
To insure backwards compatibility we will provide these in three forms.
1. LEGACY Filename to V2 Filename (minor changes/fixes) – DOWNLOAD
2. LEGACY Filename to UCS Filename – DOWNLOAD
3. V2 Filename to UCS Filename – DOWNLOAD
To be very clear:
LEGACY Filename refers to every HISSandaROAR library downloaded BEFORE AUG11 2021
V2 Filename refers to every library downloaded AFTER AUG11 2021
UCS Filename start with CatID and all spaces are replaced with underscore.
WARNING! Renaming files places the onus on you the end user, to verify that this process will not cause issues with existing projects. Some DAWs and apps are better at relinking to new media than others, so please proceed carefully with renaming.
For batch renaming using the Tab Seperated Text files in OSX as provided, we use A Better Finder Rename
A PDF with step-by-step instructions is here
For batch renaming using the CSV files use the UCS renaming utility available here
If you ever need to rename in the opposite direction, simply open the spreadsheet and swap the two columns:
Column 1 = original filename, Column 2 = new filename.
DOWNLOAD METADATA for LEGACY FILENAME – COMPLETE 97 DOWNLOAD

49% of Americans Who Switched Jobs Received a Pay Increase
49% of Americans Who Switched Jobs Received a Pay Increase
In an era of unusually high inflation and employment shake-ups, workers have an increasing number of incentives to switch jobs.
To keep up with inflation rates, employees have needed their pay to increase by as much as 7.5% so far in 2022. And according to a survey from nonprofit think tank The Conference Board, changing jobs has helped a subset of workers not only keep up with, but even outpace, inflation. Job-switching can also be a key to finding better benefits and flexibility, which some workers say is more important than pay.
How workers benefit from switching jobs
It's hard to overstate the pressure that inflation has placed on consumers. In The Conference Board's survey, 62% of respondents report worrying that their paychecks won't keep pace with price increases. But for some, job-switching is a solid strategy for addressing this issue.
In the survey, people who left their employer for another job during the pandemic were asked how their cash compensation package — including salary plus bonus — had changed. Here's what they said:
- 29% say their compensation has increased by more than 30% in their new role
- 20% received a 10% to 20% increase in compensation
- 27% are earning about the same or less than they did in their previous role
The findings build on an earlier Workforce Vitality Report from payroll and HR services firm ADP, which suggested that switching jobs is a better strategy for wage growth than holding onto a current position. In that previous survey, ADP found that national wage growth overall was at 3.3% in the third quarter of 2021, but double that figure for those who switched jobs at 6.6%.
Non-pay incentives
Aside from pay bumps, people say they would switch jobs for a handful of reasons — these are their top priorities:
- Company contribution (and match) to a retirement plan (72%)
- Workplace flexibility (71%)
- Generous paid time off (64%)
When asked what would make them stay in their current role, the top choice involved receiving a promotion, expressed by 29% of respondents. The next most popular answers were an increase in base salary of 21% to 30% (21%) or 30% or higher (21%), followed by a flexible work location (20%) (meanwhile, 11% said they'd refuse any counteroffer they might receive from their current job). However, only 7% said they would choose a salary reduction in order to work remotely.
Who benefits most from job-switching?
The Conference Room survey found that some groups have benefited more than others from job switching, including women and senior level employees.
Women who found new jobs during the pandemic were slightly more likely to see an increase of over 30% in compensation than men (31% versus 28 percent, respectively); at the same time, women were also less likely than men to have made a lateral move (9% versus 13%, respectively).
The earlier APD report also found that women were switching jobs and experiencing wage growth at higher rates than men, although they still earned lower wages overall.
For senior-level employees, switching jobs had the biggest pay off. More members of this group — which includes vice presidents, C-suite employees and CEOs — experienced compensation increases of 30% or higher (35%) than other individual contributors who changed jobs during the pandemic (22%).
Methodology: The workforce survey from The Conference Board included more than 2,600 U.S.-based respondents, who are predominantly professional or office workers.

The Paddock Lake Village Board initiated a process Wednesday that could result in the building of multi-family and single family housing on property on the village's southwest side.
On Wednesday, the board unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the village president and staff to execute an option agreement for land and to issue a request for qualifications for a residential development. The goal will for the developer of the housing to utilize Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development tax credits.
Besides providing new apartments in an area with a short supply of such units the development also would provide users for the west side municipal water system, village officials point out.
The about 2.7 acre property is what was known as Whitetail Ridge and was formerly platted for single family home development. The planned development however never took place. The property is located west of Highway F and south of Highway 50.
Last week, representatives of Bear Development presented at a Committee of the Whole meeting plans for a development that could meet the project qualifications and compete for the awarding of the state tax credits.
Bear sees a mix of multi-family housing and single family housing for the first phase of development. Initial plans call for 65 multi-family building units and 28 single family lots.
Bear intends to attempt to compete for the awarding of affordable housing tax credits from the state for the multi-family building. Some of the units would need to be rented to moderate income families and seniors. SR Mills, president of Bear Development, described the income restriction as being approximately equal to that of a beginning school teacher or a $15 to $17/hour wage.
"This is not a subsidy, this is not Section 8," Mills said. "Everyone has to have income. Everyone has to pay their rent."
Bear built a tax credit building with similar provisions for income for seniors in downtown Twin Lakes in 2012
Bear Development CEO Steve Mills said the company wants to build a quality building that will be an asset to the community.
"We're neighbors here and we want the best thing for the community here," Steve Mills said.
Said village President Terry Burns:
I see this as addressing the same basic core group of people we have in the village now. It's not really low income housing. On the surface I think it's a great idea. It accomplishes what we need to do. It's a nice looking development."
The plus to the village of having paying customers on the west side to spur the development of the water system there was not lost on village officials.
"We do have west side water that is laying underground and we'd love to have some users … and what better way to do it," said Trustee Barbara Brenner. "I'm impressed."

Scott Morrison travelled to Sydney over the Father's Day weekend and returned to Canberra on Monday after receiving an exemption from ACT Health.
The prime minister flew to Sydney on Saturday, before returning on Monday morning to attend a national security committee of federal cabinet and the women's safety summit in Canberra.
Since the Covid-19 outbreak in New South Wales in June, the ACT has strongly advised residents against travelling into NSW and usually requires its returning residents to undergo a two-week quarantine period.
The ACT chief health officer, Kerryn Coleman, granted Morrison an exemption subject to a level 3 stay at home order, requiring him to be frequently tested and restricting his movement while in the ACT.
A government spokesperson confirmed "the prime minister was in Sydney over the weekend and has been approved to be in the ACT under conditions set out by ACT Health".
Guardian Australia understands Morrison came to Canberra for a secure meeting and will probably return to Sydney early this week.
Morrison and other federal parliamentarians are classed as essential workers in the ACT and he is not the first to be granted an exemption to enter. The treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, was given an exemption to deliver the budget in May.
Earlier on Monday, the ACT chief minister, Andrew Barr, confirmed reports that Morrison "may have travelled back to Sydney".
"I'm sure he has abided by the requirements," Barr told reporters in Canberra.
In a Father's Day post to Instagram on Sunday, Morrison made no mention of reuniting with his family, instead posting a photo he noted was taken earlier in the year.
"Being a dad is a special gift that we are given in life," the caption said. "On the day this photo was taken of our family together earlier this year I was reminded of just how precious this gift is."
In July Labor queried whether Morrison was pushing the bounds of home quarantine at the Lodge, by holding outdoor press conferences there despite advice from Australia's chief medical officer that anyone who attends his Canberra residence should be vaccinated against Covid-19 and take daily saliva tests.
With Australia's two largest states in lockdown and state border restrictions preventing families reuniting with members in Covid-free states, Morrison was able to see his family on a day others were not.
Some families gathered at the NSW and Queensland border on Sunday, reuniting over plastic barricades to be with family members without crossing state lines.
In June Morrison was embroiled in controversy over side stops on his G7 itinerary exploring his family roots in the United Kingdom, prompting claims of double standards as Australia's border was closed at the time.
In December 2019 Morrison took a family holiday in Hawaii at the height of Australia's bushfire crisis, for which he apologised.

Throw open the windows and get to work -- It's time for Spring cleaning!
News 3 went to the experts at Home Clean Heroes of Virginia Beach, who say it doesn't matter where you start, but make sure you have a plan.
"If you're going to start upstairs, pick a room where you're going to start and go from top to bottom, left to right. If you're going to start downstairs, same thing, pick a room," said Kathy Turley, Marketing Director for Home Clean Heroes. "What you want to avoid doing is crossing back and forth, backtracking your steps. That makes the cleaning task at hand so much longer in general."
Springtime is also the time to make sure you're hitting to hard-to-reach spots you normally ignore. Home Clean Heroes advises:
- Remote control - dip a cotton cloth into rubbing alcohol and wipe down the entire surface of the controller every other week. Follow up with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab to carefully clean around the buttons. If there's grime inside the buttons, use a toothpick to remove it. Dry the remote with a lint-free cloth.
- Door mats: Freshen up those doormats! Hose off and air dry the ones that sit outside and give your inside door mats a good vacuum treatment. Hero tip: To trap more dust, use two mats – one outside the door and one just on the inside. Doing this every couple of months can improve tracked items into your house!
- Microwave - Clean your microwave by filling a microwave-safe bowl with ½ cup water first. Squeeze the juice from one lemon into the water, and then drop the lemon halves into the bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for three minutes (or until water comes to a boil). Don't open the microwave door and let the bowl sit for another five minutes. Then, open the door, remove the bowl and wipe the microwave clean – don't forget the door!
- Dog (Pet Beds) - Dog bed becoming a little smelly? Sprinkle a bit of baking soda on the bed. Let it stand for about 15 minutes and then vacuum. Do this once a month or when your dog is bathed to keep things smelling fresh!
- Ceiling fans - If you can't reach the fan, you can wrap a dryer sheet around a clean paint roller to reach the hard to reach item!
- Faucets - Bring a shine to your faucets by rubbing half of a lemon on those tough water marks.
But don't let this be the only time your home gets some true TLC. The best way to fight dust and dirt is to deep clean every few months, Turley says.
"We believe a regular clean is the best way to combat it. Generally you want to do a deep clean a few times a year. Spring cleaning tends to be when people do it. People also tend to do it again in the Fall. We recommend probably about three to four times a year for a good deep clean," she told News 3.
Bottom line -- it's a lot of work and if you don't want to do Spring cleaning yourself, there are plenty of services that can help, but if you're the one with the gloves, make sure you have a plan.

Valium, Xanax, and Klonopin are all benzodiazepines, but each drug has its own set of side effects and benefits. They are all used to treat anxiety, though they have different uses and risk profiles.
Valium is the oldest of these drugs, and it's a good choice for long-term use or if you've been taking it for some time. It can be used to treat panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and muscle spasms. Valium works by enhancing the activity of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that slows down brain activity. This can lead to drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision.
Valium stays in your system longer than Xanax or Klonopin because it takes longer for your body to break it down. This means that you don't have to take as much to get relief from your symptoms. It also means that if someone tries to abuse one of these drugs by taking more than prescribed, there's a greater chance of overdose since they'll still have active ingredients in their system several hours later when they stop taking it.
Valium is often used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks, while Xanax is also used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks as well as seizures in people who have epilepsy. Klonopin can be used to treat seizures in people who have epilepsy or bipolar disorder along with other neurological disorders. When compared to Valium, Klonopin has a longer half-life (the time it takes for half of the drug to leave the body). This means that Klonopin will stay in your system longer than Valium will stay in your system after taking either drug orally. Because of this, it's possible that Klonopin could cause more side effects than Valium does when taken orally at standard doses for short periods of time (four weeks or less).
Some people take Valium and/or Klonopin for recreational purposes because they can cause a sense of euphoria or "high" when taken in high doses; however, this is not recommended because it could lead to addiction if abused regularly over time–which could lead to withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop taking them suddenly after prolonged use over time.
When comparing these three medications, it's important to remember that all of them have very different uses, so they're not always interchangeable. In some cases, one drug might be more effective than another; in others, they may have similar effects.
Are the side effects of Valium, Xanax or Klonopin similar?
All three of these drugs are benzodiazepine tranquilizers—that means they have similar effects on the body. They're used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks by calming the brain and body down.
The first thing you'll notice when taking any of these medications is that they make you feel drowsy or sedated. This means that your reaction time will be slowed down, which could be dangerous if you need to drive or operate heavy machinery while under the influence of one of these drugs.
Another common side effect is dizziness; this happens because your balance is being affected by the drug as well. You may also experience fatigue or lightheadedness, which can make it difficult for you to complete tasks at home or work without assistance from someone else.
Some people experience nausea and vomiting as a result of taking Xanax or Klonopin; fortunately, these symptoms usually subside after about 24 hours. If they last longer than that, talk with your doctor immediately!
