vivo invites people to explore passions with “Take Back the Night” campaign for V19 & V19 Neo

The situation has changed how people perceive work-life balance, with some learning new skills to be more productive at work and adapt to the new normal. And while community lockdown restrictions are beginning to ease, the practice of social distancing and staying at home is one that is not expected to disappear any time soon. But being stuck at home need not be all that bad. Despite adjusting to work-from-home set-ups and finding more worthwhile ways to spend quarantine time, the lockdown period has also presented an opportunity for people to re-explore their individuality and passions, especially at night.

Tackling Cyberattacks, Fraud Amid COVID-19

The current COVID-19 pandemic proves to be the biggest test on how today’s flexible working practices enable employees to stay productive while working remotely. Cybercriminals, however, are making it clear that they are not taking any time off as cyberattacks continue to rise, targeting individuals and organizations alike. For instance, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report last April that there has been an increase in the number of cyberattacks directed at its staff, as well as e-mail scams targeting the public at large.

Epson Applies Dry Fiber Technology to Manufacture Face Masks

Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, “Epson”) will apply its original Dry Fiber technology to manufacture face masks for its employees in Japan. Dry Fiber technology, which is also used in Epson’s PaperLab A-8000 in-office dry paper making system, is a dry process that has until now been used to turn used paper into new paper inside the office. The masks will be made not from used paper, but from functional fibers and will be manufactured at the company’s Kanbayashi and Suwa Minami Plants in Nagano, Japan, where the majority of its domestic employees are located. Epson expects to begin manufacturing the masks from the end of May. The company does not currently plan to manufacture the masks for sale. These masks respond to growing demand for face masks for protection against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
