COMPANIES HELPING DURING THE CORONAVIROUS OUTBREAK


I know all people are talking about it the coronavirus, but I thought I would talk about a few good things that companies are doing in the midst of the pandemic. Many companies and schools are pushing towards going online and working from home. This can create some challenges if you do not have a way to access the internet or device to use at home. Below are just a few examples of some great things’ companies are doing to help their employees and customers!

Facebook is pushing their employees to work from home and with that they are giving away free portal video chat devices to employees that request one. Portal comes in several models that allows you to video chat and can even project through their TV sets.

Fossil informed all customers through social media that they will be closing all stores until March 28th. The good thing that they are doing is guaranteeing that their employees will be paid while the stores are closed. I thought this was such a great thing to hear because so many workers are concerned that they will not have their income.

Spectrum is offering students free internet during this time of online learning. This include college and K-12 students. They are allowed to have this service free for the next 60 days! I love hearing companies step up and offer services to help their customers or the community in general! This should be good news to those students that are impacted by the coronavirus and do not have access to the internet.

Using Social Media to Find Gluten Free Recipes

Being gluten free can be difficult as it is, so why struggle to find things to make or eat. One of the most challenging things about being gluten free is finding a place to go out to eat at. Therefore, I often decide to stay in and make my own meal. Luckily, there are so many gluten free baking blogs and accounts on Instagram and other site, that it makes making your own meal so much easier. The thing about baking gluten free is that gluten free flour does not have the same elasticity as flour with gluten. When you look at a gluten free recipe you will likely see Xanthium Gum or other additives that create the elasticity, so your bread does not crumble as easily. Recently, companies have started to make gluten free flour that you can replace regular flour with one-to-one. This make a world of difference when you are converting a recipe to gluten free. I follow quite a few gluten free baking accounts on social media. Below I have compiled a list of my favorite accounts to find g

ALUMNI BASKETBALL GAME AT BUCKEYE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

On Feb. 24 th , I live-tweeted the boys alumni basketball game. There were two teams playing. Since the players only play for fun, they do not have actual team names. Instead they wore red and white shirts to distinguish themselves. I referred to the teams based on their shirt color throughout my tweets. The game was held at Buckeye Central High School in their gym.   It was a close game for most of the game, with lots of back-and-forth. The final score was 86 to 82, with the red team coming out on top! Both teams did an excellent job and had a great game! Congratulations to the Red Team! You can check out my live tweet by searching #AlumniBBall2020 on twitter or by following me on twitter @Lydia74353175.

TRAINING TO RUN A 5K

Running use to be something I always enjoyed doing. I was in cross-country, track, and always liked the conditioning part of basketball. Even after I was out of sports, I continued to run consistently up until last year. I am not sure why I stopped running I just ended up not running anymore. So, since my classes are all online now, I have no more excuses to not run. In order to keep motivated, I am running with my sister Paige and we set a goal that we want to complete a 5K without walking. Since we do not know when the next 5K will be because of COVID-19, we decided we would have our own 5K on May 1 st . We are training five days a week, Monday through Friday. We also made challenges for different days of the week, so we continue to challenge ourselves. One of our challenges is that we run as far as we can in one direction without walking. Then we are forced to either walk or run all the way back. This is something my coach use to do when I was in cross country, so that we
