We've known about SARS-CoV-2 for only three months, but scientists can make some educated guesses about where it came from and why it's behaving in such an extreme way.

I haven't seen them in weeks. Not in person. I hear them, their footsteps, and my wife's voice as she talks on the phone to others. The creak of the floor, the open and close of a door. I am haunted by living ghosts.

THE EU is plotting against Italy and using the coronavirus pandemic to sideline the country just like they did with Greece during the financial crisis, a renowned Italian doctor and politician told Express.co.uk.
CORONAVIRUS fears are at an all-time high as measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic continue - but lessons learned from a previous viral outbreak may actually save us.
TWO men have been arrested after crashing a car into the interior of Barcelona's El Prat Airport yelling "Islamic-type" slogans. Police have not ruled out terrorism as the motive.
CORONAVIRUS panic has spread throughout the world with countries taking desperate measure to try and contain the outbreak, but a terrifying new map has charted how the UK is one of dozens of countries in the centre of a killer danger zone for the lethal virus.
CORONAVIRUS is sweeping across Europe, placing the likes of Italy, France, Spain and Germany in lockdown, but a group of scientists think they have a "plausible explanation" for the outbreak.
CORONAVIRUS restrictions could see social distancing in place for an entire year, according to one report. This comes as deaths from the pandemic have passed 10,000 across the world.
ITALY is the second hardest-hit country by coronavirus with cases and deaths rising every day despite a nationwide lockdown. Why has Italy been hit so hard with coronavirus?
As nations around the world fight the coronavirus pandemic with mass lockdowns and travel bans, UN experts warn that some three billion people lack even the most basic weapons to protect themselves: soap and running water.
The outbreak has infected some 200,000 people and killed 9,000, scorching through populations across the globe after emerging in China late last year.
While Europe has become the centre of the battle against the virus, closing borders and sequestering millions of people in their homes, concerns are rising for developing nations with fragile healthcare systems.
WNU Editor: In the West we wonder if we have enough ventilators, testing kits, masks and gloves to face the Covid-19 pandemic. The rest of the world wonders if they have clean water and enough soap.
Although Putin stressed in his speech that there was no need to waste money stocking up on food, throngs of anxious Muscovites continued ravaging supermarkets, snatching up astronomical quantities of toilet paper and, inexplicably, buckwheat.
On March 17, President Vladimir Putin addressed the nation for the first time about the coronavirus. In short, he said everything was under control. He added that, "like in a large, friendly family" the Russian people would overcome all difficulties with the aid of discipline.
His words had no effect on shoppers, who stripped Moscow supermarkets of supplies. Official data puts the number of infected people at over 100, while posts are multiplying on social networks that put the figure far higher and report that people with symptoms have been sent home to "drink tea" without ever having been tested for the virus.
Muscovites are growing increasingly frustrated over reports — such as one that appeared in Vedomosti newspaper — that officials will soon impose a curfew, close the metro and ban travel in and out of the city. Meanwhile, Russia's provinces remain calm and unruffled, seemingly immune to social distancing and quarantine. But when grandparents in the countryside invite their grandkids in the capital to wait out the coronavirus with them, the young people refuse, preferring to "tough it out" with all the conveniences.
WNU Editor: Russians have seen worse, and in regards to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, they are expecting rough and difficult times. That is why I am not surprised to hear of panic buying in Russia. Everyone is stockpiling what they can, because they see the storm coming. But I also know that during these times people are banding together, because deep inside every Russian they know that in a crisis being unified is the best way to survive.
Speaking of hard times. Earlier today I had a good talk with my cousins and their kids in Moscow. The kids now run the family business (real estate), and they are nervous on what to do next. My advice to them was simple. The key is to remain calm, keep self control, do not panic, be safe and healthy, stay happy, stay positive, be active, do all the right things, and stay productive. This is just another episode in life where the times are difficult and tough, but in the end this will all pass, and by doing all the right things today will in the future bring rewards and contacts that you never thought was possible.
As to the above Moscow Times focus on buckwheat (its called kasha in Russian), it is true, it is a staple that every Russian must have during rough times. I should now, I have 8 packages of the stuff in my chalet right now (the picture below is my favourite brand).

SEOUL - In late January, South Korean health officials summoned representatives from more than 20 medical companies from their lunar New Year celebrations to a conference room tucked inside Seoul's busy train station.
One of the country's top infectious disease officials delivered an urgent message: South Korea needed an effective test immediately to detect the novel coronavirus, then running rampant in China. He promised the companies swift regulatory approval.
Though there were only four known cases in South Korea at that point, "we were very nervous. We believed that it could develop into a pandemic," one attendee, Lee Sang-won, an infectious diseases expert at the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told Reuters.
* California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday issued a statewide order for all residents to 'stay at home' amid a coronavirus outbreak.
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday issued a statewide order for all residents to 'stay at home' amid a coronavirus outbreak.
"We need to bend the curve in the state of California," Governor Gavin Newsom said, as he announced a statewide order for Californians to stay home. "There's a social contract here, people I think recognize the need to do more. They will adjust and adapt as they have."
Newsom added: "Home isolation is not my preferred choice…but it is a necessary one. This is not a permanent state, it is a moment in time."
The stay home order is in place till further notice.
Suspected Islamist militants killed 29 Malian soldiers on Thursday in an attack on a base in the country's northeast, the army said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in the town of Tarkint, which is about 125 km (78 miles) north of the city of Gao. Mali's army has repeatedly suffered heavy casualties from jihadist fighters active in the area with links to al Qaeda and Islamic State.
The army said earlier in the day that just two soldiers had died but tweeted later that the death toll had "heavily evolved" to 29 killed and five wounded.
Vast swathes of central and northern Mali are effectively lawless, used by the jihadists as a base for attacks in Mali and into neighbouring Niger and Burkina Faso, where security has deteriorated markedly over the past year.
* Latest figures have squashed hopes that unprecedented national lockdown was slowing spread of pathogen * The death toll in China, where the coronavirus started in Wuhan, currently stands at 3,249 * It comes after military trucks deployed across nation to transport scores of victims' coffins to be cremated * Mortuaries are full and crematorium staff have been handling 24 bodies a day, officials in Bergamo have said
Italy has now overtaken China as the country with the most coronavirus deaths after suffering 427 more fatalities, taking the total number to 3,405.
Both the death toll and number of confirmed cases shot up again today and the nation has now recorded 41,035 infections, more than half of the world's positive cases.
Yesterday, Italy recorded the highest one-day official coronavirus death toll of any country with 475 deaths in just 24 hours.
The latest figures have squashed hopes that the unprecedented national lockdown was helping to slow the spread of the pathogen.
WNU Editor: My girlfriend's relatives in Italy are telling her to not trust the government's numbers. They are comparing the obituary pages that have exploded in the past two weeks to government announcements on how many people have died from the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, and there is no correlation. But what is even more frightening to me is what the above graph is showing .... that the exponential death rate in Italy is not even close to levelling off. And as for those Chinese numbers that everyone likes to quote. Do not trust them. I would not be surprised if years from now we learn that the numbers are 10x the official number, if not worse.
Four European Union member states have imposed lockdowns to combat the spread of the potentially deadly COVID-19 virus while travellers hoping to get into the bloc are being turned away.
Belgium became the latest EU country to introduce a lockdown on Wednesday, joining France, Italy and Spain.
At least 3,426 people across the EU and the UK have died from the disease and the continent has now been dubbed the "epicentre of the epidemic" by the World Health Organisation.
Italy has been particularly affected, accounting for more than 70% of the bloc's fatalities, and is now on track to surpass China's own deadly toll.
WNU Editor: Belgium joins France, Italy and Spain. Here are two easy predictions. Other EU countries are going to join this lock-down, and the existing four will be extending their"lock-downs". The first country that will be extending its lock-down will be France .... France may extend lockdown as 'idiots' flout rules (AFP).
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, weighs in on how to tackle the coronavirus pandemic and what the future holds for those Americans who haven't been infected by the virus.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He is a contributor to CNBC and serves on the board of a number of health technology and biotech companies.
Heilbrunn: Are there any existing drugs that you think could help address this crisis in the near term?
Gottlieb: When it comes to therapeutics, it's a three-pronged strategy. The first is to develop a vaccine. That's probably two years away. I think we have to be realistic and understand that it's probably two years until we can get a vaccine. Maybe longer. We've never developed a vaccine to a coronavirus, there are certain things we don't fully understand. There is a certain complexity involved in the kinds of vaccine platforms that we are trying to use now. It's a very novel technology.
WNU Editor: The supply chains are completely crippled. It will take months before they are properly restored, if not longer. What that means is that in the coming months expect major shortages to arise, and many people are going to suffer because of it. This should make everyone furious. The politicians and business leaders who permitted a situation that resulted in China being the critical manufacturer for most of our drugs and vitamins, a country that is also now threatening us, should be punished .... China Warns It Could Impose Pharmaceutical Export Controls To The U.S. (March 14, 2020). I am fortunate that I am not on any medication. I have stocked up on vitamins and Tylenol/flu medication/etc., and it should last for a long time. But if I or my loved ones find ourselves with a medical issue that may require medication, the prospect that such care may be unavailable is beyond maddening.

* Hope for rapid global economic recovery has faded, with some analysts predicting the downturn may last until next year * Escalation of containment measures in Europe and the US, along with weak Chinese economic data, are seen as tipping points in the outlook for the economy
A global economic recession is now all but guaranteed in 2020, with analysts worldwide continuing to slash their already grim forecasts as the rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic outside China results in unprecedented containment measures and a rising number of businesses in danger of bankruptcy.
The moves by central banks around the world to cut their interest rates to record lows and by governments to pump huge amounts of money into their economies – including the new proposal in the United States to spend around US$1 trillion to bail out troubled businesses and provide a cash handout to every American – have come too late, according to analysts.
The question now becomes how deep the downturn will be, and how long it will last, with worst-case scenarios seeing weak growth continuing into 2021.
WNU Editor: It all comes down to how long will this pandemic last, and its impact on those who are most vulnerable to it. With almost every infectious disease expert now saying that this will probably last 18 months, I shudder to see how most businesses will survive. We are not facing a recession. We are facing the possibility of a 2 -3 year depression where many people will not be able to work because of the risks of being infected.
A 100-page document, issued Friday as Donald Trump (pictured) announced a state of emergency, says Washington should close schools and cancel public events to curb the spread of the virus
WASHINGTON — A federal government plan to combat the coronavirus warned policymakers last week that a pandemic "will last 18 months or longer" and could include "multiple waves," resulting in widespread shortages that would strain consumers and the nation's health care system.
The 100-page plan, dated Friday, the same day President Trump declared a national emergency, laid out a grim prognosis for the spread of the virus and outlined a response that would activate agencies across the government and potentially employ special presidential powers to mobilize the private sector.
WNU Editor: This 100-page plan, and it is a very sober read on what the US government is expecting, is here .... U.S.Government COVID-19 Response Plan (US Department of Health and Human Services).
Update#2: I disagree with the title of this story .... Secret recording captures GOP Sen. Burr issuing a dire warning about coronavirus to a private club, while publicly conservatives and Trump downplayed the threat (Business Insider). President Trump was one of the first to impose travel and border restrictions in February much to the opposition of many in Washington, foreign governments, and the media. If that is not taking this crisis seriously, I do not know what is. But I do agree with this Business Insider's analysis that until last week the message and efforts from the White House on trying to reassure US citizens that the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic can be properly handled was a disaster. Fortunately, the White House has made up for it since then. There is no illusion on what we are all facing now.

Sky News host Chris Smith says the entire world "should never forget" the "deadly cover-up" which has taken place within the Communist Party of China on the deadly coronavirus.https://t.co/4Zeba97v8b
WNU Editor: The Chinese are trying very hard to change the narrative, even blaming the US Army for this disaster .... China Accuses The U.S. For Starting The Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic (March 12, 2020). My prediction. The Chinese government is going to fail, especially as the human and economic costs of this pandemic mount.
WNU Editor: My brother works with a number of pharmaceutical companies, and he told me last week that even if the Chinese offer to make the basic ingredients for much of our drugs/supplments/and vitamins for free, all the major US and European pharmaceutical companies are going to diversify out of China to other countries as well returning to the US. As he told me bluntly. They are done with China.

WNU Editor: I would think that by hiding out in my chalet since Monday that I would be left alone. That has not happened. People that I have not talked to for a very long time are calling me. And as for family. My brother and I talk every day for an hour or two. That also includes my cousins in Russia and Ukraine, as well as some of their kids who now run the family business who want my advice .... correction .... need my advice and direction. And then there are all of my contacts and friends around the world, who now have the time to talk and socialize. Needless to say that this has been counter-productive on posting news and commentary for this blog, but personally it has been a great and healthy experience.

Bengaluru: India's IT services companies may freeze pay hikes and cut bonuses to deal with the business slowdown sparked by shutdowns due to the Covid-19 outbreak globally, replicating moves made during the US financial crisis over a decade ago, senior executives and analysts told ET."Bonus, variable pay or any increment is right now on hold," C P Gurnani, CEO of Tech Mahindra, told ET. "At this stage, most of the world is addressing their first priority: keeping people safe".India's technology services firms have asked those employees who can deliver remotely to work from home. They have sent trainees back home from campuses in a bid to keep to social distancing norms and reduce the spread of the virus.Most India-based IT services firms have eight out of ten employees working in centres locally.The fallout of the outbreak in key markets in the US and Europe has also made analysts revise growth for the IT sector for FY21. Kotak Institutional Equities has cut revenue growth estimates of some large and mid-cap tech services companies by 2-4% and of the industry by 3-8%. Accenture on Thursday cut its guidance for FY20 (September-August) citing the uncertainty due to the spread of the virus. It expects to grow in the range of 3-6% as against its earlier forecast of 6-8%. In the first six months, it has grown revenue by 8%, effectively indicating that business will be flat or negative in the next two quarters. Accenture's business is a key barometer on the impact on other Indian IT companies.Tata Consultancy Services has already completed its annual appraisals for the year, but has not yet decided on the payouts, said a senior TCS executive, who did not want to be named. "We are still dealing with the immediate fallout. No discussion on pay freezes has been done," the TCS executive said. TCS did not respond to queries by ET.Companies such as Wipro, HCL Tech and Infosys hand out hikes later in the year. "The crisis will likely negatively affect profits and to the extent that bonuses are tied to firm performance and profitability, they will automatically be reduced. In this case employees are likely to view the reductions as justified," said Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO, Everest Group.However, if the compensation adjustments are made to keep profits high then the firms are likely to have morale and turnover problems going forward, he added.IT companies have seen demand and bill rates crash, as clients have moved to doing only the most crucial work to keep their business running, a Nasscom executive said. New deals are not being signed and old ones are being placed on standby, the person said.
ET Intelligence Group: Amid the carnage on Dalal Street, one investor seems to be bullish on select Tata Group stocks.N Chandrasekaran, executive chairman of Tata Sons, has bought shares of Tata group companies including Tata Communications, Tata Chemicals and Tata Investment Corporation for a cumulative sum of nearly Rs 6 crore.According to announcements by the respective companies, the Tata Sons chief has purchased 1 lakh shares of Tata Communications and Tata Chemicals each and 10,000 shares of Tata Investment Corp.The stock of Tata Communications, an enterprise data services provider, has more than halved over the past month.According to analysts and industry experts, a boost to work from home concept amid the Covid-19 pandemic may boost data consumption by 15 per cent sequentially for the next two quarters. The data business accounts for 80 per cent of the company's revenues and 91 per cent of the operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (EBIDTA).Tata Communications is the largest company in the country's enterprise data segment. It owns the largest undersea cable network which is required for data transmission, making it one of the leading global digital infrastructure players. Its data revenue rose by 9 per cent year-on-year in the first nine months and EBIDTA rose by 37 per cent.Reliance Jio has also started building its enterprise data business in a tie-up with Microsoft. Bharti Airtel has also recently tied up with Google to offer the service.Analysts don't see this as a threat, as balance sheets of the competitors are leveraged, which lowers the probability of a price war. 74722179 CLSA in a recent report said that Tata Communications' earnings may double in the next two years led by the growth in data services business. The company has a debt of nearly Rs 9,000 crore and debt-EBIDTA ratio of 2.7, which the company intends to bring down to 2.5 times. Tata Communications has shown operational turnaround. Its adjusted loss reduced from Rs 2,875 crore in FY18 to Rs 131 crore in FY19. Analysts are expecting the company to report a net profit of Rs 270 crore for FY20.In case of Tata Chemicals, lower crude prices is a positive since crude related costs account for nearly 40 per cent of the company's total costs of manufacturing chemicals such as soda ash and soda bicarb.The supply of these chemicals is likely to remain low given the production shutdowns in China and other global markets, which may offset any demand slowdown. Lower demand may soften realisations, but margins are less likely to be impacted, say analysts."We do not expect the same to impact the margins negatively given that crude oil and natural gas prices are also down considerably. This can provide some respite to the operational performance, going ahead," said Chirag Shah analyst with ICICI Securities. The stock is down by 34 per cent in the past one month.
New Delhi: India is considering a proposal to broaden testing criteria for Covid-19 amid debate that they may be too narrow to detect community transmission of the disease. The high-level expert committee set up by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has suggested that all with atypical pneumonia and close contacts of Covid-19-positive persons be tested. Currently, only those who have come from affected areas overseas or have been in contact with such persons are being tested."The testing protocol has been reviewed and will be updated soon," said an expert. "The suggestions to include atypical pneumonia patients and close contacts of Covid-19 positive patients have been given to the ministry today." He clarified that India doesn't intend to undertake mass testing as in South Korea. "We will also have to see our testing capacity. As of now we don't plan to allow all symptomatic patients to go for testing," he said. However to check whether there's community transmission, the ICMR has also decided to pick up additional samples from Covid-19-affected areas for testing, as it proposes to expand random checks to keep tabs on whether this is happening, said Rajnikant Srivastava, scientist at India's top health research body."The surveillance has been expanded to include more areas, specially those areas where Covid-19 cases have been reported," he said. "All results of random samples are negative, which reassures that there is no community transmission yet."As per the current testing protocol, all asymptomatic patients who have undertaken international travel should be home quarantined for 14 days and tested only if they develop symptoms such as fever, cough or breathing difficulty. If the test is positive, they will be isolated and treated as per the protocol.Additionally, all contacts of laboratory confirmed positive cases should be home quarantined for 14 days and tested only if they become symptomatic.
HIGASHIMATSUSHIMA: The Olympic flame arrived in Japan Friday to a muted reception, with what should have been a joyous celebration dramatically downscaled due to the coronavirus pandemic that has cast doubt over whether the Tokyo Games can even go ahead.The flame landed on a special charter flight into Matsushima Air Base in the Japanese province of Miyagi, chosen as part of the "Recovery Olympics" to showcase the region's revival after the 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdown.Former Japanese Olympians Saori Yoshida and Tadahiro Nomura collected the flame from the aircraft and took it through a guard of honour to a cauldron in the shape of a cherry blossom on a stage in front of selected guests.But some 200 local children who were due to welcome the flame were kept away as part of what organisers called the "heartbreaking" decision to pare back events as the world battles the virus that has killed nearly 10,000 people.
MUMBAI: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will not allow operators to use the full 20-year period to pay their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) dues in circles where the licenses expire, if the Supreme Court accepts the staggered payment proposal of the government, a person familiar with the matter said.The person added that the government will insist that unless the license is renewed, the telco will have to pay its statutory dues for the circle in which its license for spectrum is expiring, by the expiry date."A telco cannot use the 20-year period to pay for spectrum dues, even if its license has expired. Payments need to happen while the licenses are valid," said the person aware of the development. The comments clear the air for telcos like Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel, who are the worst affected by the Supreme Court order of October on widening the definition of AGR, and have licenses across circles ready to expire well before the 20-year outer limit, which will expire in 2040.For instance, in 2021, Airtel has eight licenses expiring while Tata Teleservices has four. Tata Teleservices had already sold its consumer mobility business to Airtel. Then in 2024, the two operators will have to renew another six and 12 licenses, respectively. Vodafone Idea's renewal will kick-in in 2033 when it will brace for 22 of its licenses to expire.The three telcos did not comment on ET's queries. People close to development said that DoT expects operators to renew their licenses so that customers are not impacted and therefore, a stage where licenses are withdrawn will most likely be averted.As a relief measure, the government has requested the Supreme Court to allow affected telcos to pay AGR dues over 20 years or less. The formula of AGR payment includes freezing interest and penalty components as of October 24, and protecting the net present value using the discount rate of 8%.In its application to the Supreme Court filed on Monday, the government cited an "adverse impact" on the economy, jobs and millions of consumers from the collapse of a telco while urging the court to accept its formula to receive the AGR dues. The Supreme Court on Wednesday said it will consider the government's proposal after two weeks. The court has been taking a hard line against the telcos so far, and on Wednesday banned any reassessment or self-assessment of the AGR dues.Vodafone Idea has so far paid Rs 6,854 crore of its DoT estimated dues of Rs 58,254 crore, comprising license fees, spectrum usage charge, interest and penalties.Bharti Airtel on its part has paid government Rs 18,004 crore compared with the DoT's estimate of Rs 43,980 crore. Tata Teleservices' dues have been estimated at Rs 16,798 crore by the DoT whereas the company has paid Rs 4,197 crore.The self-assessed AGR dues of these companies are less than half of the DoT's estimates, but those aren't being considered after the top court order on Wednesday.
The government may not have any other option but to bring in a legislation to resolve the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) crisis and prevent operators from shutting down, given the Supreme Court's recent observations, senior advocate Harish Salve said. Speaking to ET Now's Nayantara Rai, Salve described as "illegal" and "overreach" any move by the top court to send company executives to jail for non-payment. Edited excerpts:It was a big day at the Supreme Court (in the AGR case)…There is a dispute between A and B, i.e., the government and the private telecom operators, that dispute gets resolved. The government gets a judgement in its favour. Now, as decree holder, if the government wants to hold back enforcing its decree, I do not know why it should not be open to the government, especially when they are coming in and explaining to the court that there is good reason to do so. This problem has now possibly reached a stage where anything short of a legislation is not going to resolve this.So you are saying the way out could perhaps only be a piece of legislation?I would not like to comment on what can or cannot be done…I believe if you shut down (one of) the three big telecom companies, there will be a lot of people who will not be able to access the telecom system…that is more important than throwing people in jail. And the second, you may say I will wind up a company…but to throw people in jail for non- payment, this I think is overreach by the Supreme Court, and this practice has to stop. The Supreme Court is created to protect people's liberty…The Supreme Court unfortunately seems to be becoming the first for damaging liberties. Under which law will they send people to jail?In my personal view…it is not just wrong, it is illegal…It is wrong on principle and it sends a very wrong message out of the court.Why has the AGR matter blown up to this level?Personally, I have always felt that…the government's claim on merits was right…I have a more fundamental objection to a situation where the court starts dictating to the government what they need to do, where the government is acting in larger interest in the case of an economic slowdown…whether the 2012 telecom judgement, the worst was the coal judgement…the Supreme Court was partly responsible for the economic slowdown in India… acting in a manner completely oblivious to economic reality and oblivious to the fact that it is primarily the government's job to run the country.
LONDON: Credit rating agency Moody's is carrying out a global review of its corporate ratings in light of the coronavirus and oil price slump, with a first mass wave of downgrades or downgrade warnings likely in the coming days. The firm has already begun the process in a number of the hardest hit sectors such as airlines, cruise and oil firms , but the moves are about to ratchet up, two of the firm's top analysts told Reuters. "We are undertaking a global review of ratings that are impacted by the virus," Managing Director of Global Strategy & Research Anne Van Praagh and Christina Padgett, Associate Managing Director of Corporate Finance Research, said in an interview. "By the end of the week we will have a fair amount of rating actions," Van Praagh added, saying it was likely to impact whole groups of companies or sectors all being impacted in the same way. Earlier this week Moody's said that about 9% of the 920 companies it rated in Europe, the Middle East and Africa had a "high exposure" to the effects of the coronavirus outbreak, with another 54% having moderate exposure. It also estimated that about 16% of the more than 2,000 companies it rates in North America would be at high risk of rating move under the now widely expected scenario of a global recession. "We have the virus, the big fall in commodity prices and now (the pressure in) the capital markets. This combination of events is unprecedented, so we have to come at it from several different angles," Padgett said. The first flurry of downgrades could take a few weeks. As well as sectors like airlines, oil and gas and travel, shipping, hotels and entertainment and leisure will all be heavily impacted too. Firms with weaker finances already in the junk grade, of high yield category as it is also potentially see multi-notch downgrades, while on the flip side government support, if strong enough, could potentially spare others. "Some of the bigger companies that are coming under pressure may benefit from extraordinary government support - in those cases, that may temper the rating actions," Van Praagh said (Reporting by Marc Jones; Editing by Angus MacSwan)
Adding to the woes of the bulls, Nifty has just formed a Death Cross on the daily charts – a signal considered ominous for the market's near-term outlook. However, analysts said it may not have much significance given the sharp fall that the market has already witnessed.A 'Death Cross' gets formed on daily charts when the short-term moving average (50-DMA) crosses below its long-term moving average (200-DMA)."It will not have much significance, as we have fallen over 30 per cent within a short span of time. These signals work in normal market conditions. This is not a very normal situation, as demand and supply are being influenced any external factors," said Mazhar Mohammad, Chief Strategist – Technical Research & Trading Advisory at Chartviewindia.in.Even if some bullish signals arise in some time, that too will not have any significance, he said.Nifty has been in a secular downtrend, as investors are fleeing equities in droves amid a rise in the number of coronavirus cases, threatening a collapse of many businesses. Till Thursday's close at 8,263, Nifty has fallen 33.47 per cent from its high of 12,430 recorded in January.Milan Vaishnav, Consulting Technical Analyst and founder of Gemstone Equity Research & Advisory Services, concurred with Mohammad, saying that this is a lagging formation and the 'Death Cross' formed after such steep downside would not have its usual significance."We will continue to be dominated by global trade setup. What we saw today was a broad short-covering-led technical pullback. The market will either consolidate in a broad range or see some negative bias," Vaishnav said.Mohammad said now Nifty's next stop would be in the 7,850-7,950 zone, but if that is broken, then we may need to prepare for bigger cuts, which may take it to 7,450 or 7,000 levels.Thanks to the selloff, just five stocks in Nifty100 pack are trading above their long-term moving average (200-DMA) – Pidilite, Divi's Labs, Cadila Healthcare, Bharti Airtel and Avenue Supermarts.For half of them, the short-term moving averages are trading below their long-term averages, signalling 'Death Cross' on each individual counter.
New Delhi: The government has roped in technology company Google and instant messaging platform WhatsApp, and is in talks with Facebook to run massive information outreach campaigns to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, three government officials told ET. The US-based search giant will send close to 300 million notifications a day to users containing information on the pandemic, a senior official said. The government has also launched a Chatbot on Corona on Whatsapp called MyGov Corona Helpdesk. Saying Hi on WhatsApp to 9013151515 will get automated response on queries related to Corona, a government official told ET.Google has also customised its India search page with the campaign "DO THE FIVE. Help stop coronavirus" that also contains a link to the Ministry of Health page giving important information on the pandemic, along with real-time data on the number of positive cases, their location and reported deaths."The government is exploring all possible technology solutions to deal with the contemporary challenge of Covid-19," said another government official, adding that the Big Tech companies had approached the government with some suggestions on how to create awareness. While the Google initiative was launched on Thursday, talks are on for collaborating with some other big platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook, the person added. India is one of the largest markets for Google. With 400 million users, it is the largest market for WhatsApp. Facebook has over 260 million users in the country."The company had approached the government for partnership on this and it is also changing search algorithms to provide information from authentic sources such as the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at the top of its search ranking," said a government official."To help surface authoritative information during these exceptional times, we are working closely with all government ministries including the PMO," a spokesperson for Google told ET. Apart from the 'Do The Five' social campaign, Google has also issued Push Notifications on the Google App for Android and iOS users in India to highlight this important information. Other initiatives include SOS Alerts, country-specific Search Trends pages and a promo card on the YouTube Homepage that links out to the MoHFW website for up-to-date information, the spokesperson added.
Mumbai | Kolkata: CXO searches are likely to be delayed or pushed back by at least a quarter, as the Covid-19 pandemic forces companies to suspend projects and find immediate ways to cope with the situation, said executive search experts.Usually, hiring of top executives such as chief executives, and operations and finance chiefs remains much less affected than others, because companies can't hold off hiring for critical roles. But now, the next few weeks will be the deciding factor and even crucial roles will get impacted if the situation escalates, experts fear.Several companies have already cancelled or postponed interviews and are turning to videocalls as they are unable to travel for face-to-face interactions, which is important in such senior hires, said experts."Several India entry projects are getting or likely to get postponed. Senior-level hiring, which is considered as critical hiring and usually remains insulated from various other factors, is likely to be pushed back by at least one quarter," said Kamal Karanth, a cofounder of staffing solutions provider Xpheno. "Companies and senior executives are unable to travel. Interviews are getting pushed and indefinitely postponed. Senior-level hiring needs significant face-to-face interaction. There is a significant slowdown possibility," he said.K Sudarshan, the managing director at EMA Partners India, said it was not just about recruitment, but business sentiment had also taken a big hit. This in turn will dent senior level hiring plans, he said, adding: "It is not just about India but how rest of the world moves and how the next few weeks pan out, in bringing things under control."BTI Consultants managing director James Agrawal said at least four clients scheduled to fly down from the US, Germany and Singapore to meet CXO candidates had postponed travel plans, pushing the hiring process back in the bargain. This includes two GICs (Global In-house Centres), an engineering firm as well as one from the FMCG space. "They had completed the initial rounds through Skype calls, etc., and wanted to close the search after face-to-face meetings. But now, if there is no visibility on the situation over the next 7-10 days, they will have to fall back on the video calls option."So far, no CXO hiring plans have been put on hold, but things may change in the next few weeks if the number of cases escalate, he said.R Suresh, the founder of boutique executive search firm Insist, said as of now none of his clients had withdrawn any project, but they were not sure how business would pan out. "This year January onwards senior-level hiring was looking better but now it seems there may be a lull for the next six months until some positive news comes," he said.Transearch India partner Ashish Sanganeria cited the example of an ecommerce major hiring for a senior vice-president role who had meetings scheduled this week, but now postponed. Similar is the case for some startups in Mumbai.The real impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on hiring in India will take 3-4 weeks to gauge, said experts. For instance, in the startup ecosystem, hiring has been decided based on the growth plans they have. After the WeWork and other debacles in the startup industry, investors have started asking tough questions, so any hiring planned is of the critical variety. "However, we are seeing foodtech, travel companies, etc. getting affected now. If this goes on, over the next 2-3 months, we will see an impact on numbers," Sanganeria said.Fidius Advisory Companies managing partner Anuj Roy, however, is more hopeful than the rest."Crucial roles will not get postponed," he said. "Non-essential futuristic growth-led hiring may be delayed as companies follow the Covid-19 impact over the next 3-4 weeks. However, if this problem explodes and a lot of people get affected, then it will become a big issue."

You can easily make your own shadow box frame to display your favorite objects or artwork with a few materials and a little bit of effort. Start by measuring the item you want to display so you can gather the right materials. Choose a thin sheet of plywood to serve as the backing and a thicker length of plywood that you can cut to size and form the sides of the frame. Use wood glue to hold them in place and use nails to secure the sides of the frame. Use a wooden picture frame with the glass already attached to it to make a front panel. You can then paint it a color that will make your item stand out, and you're ready to display it!
Measure the item that you plan to place in the frame. The artwork or objects that you plan to place inside of the shadow box frame needs to fit inside of it. Use a ruler or a tape measure to find the length and width of the item so you can make a shadow box frame that fits it.[1]
Write down your measurements so you can easily remember them.
For example, you could have a painting that measures that you want to install inside of a shadow box frame.
If you're giving the shadow box as a gift, or you don't know the dimensions of the artwork, choose a common shadow box measurement such as , , or .
Buy a piece of thick plywood for the backing. Purchase a sheet of plywood in good condition that is as close to your measurements as you can. Look for pre-cut sheets of plywood that fit the dimensions, or purchase a larger sheet that you can cut to size.[2]
You can find thick plywood at your local hardware store or online.
Cut the plywood to size, if necessary. Use a ruler and trace the dimensions of the shadow box frame onto the thinner sheet of plywood that will serve as the backing. Then, use a circular saw to cut along the lines and cut out the plywood so it matches the measurements.
Use a pencil or marker to mark the dimensions on the board.
Use the ruler to draw a straight line so you can cut along it with the saw.
Get an board measuring . Buy a length of thicker plywood that you can measure and cut to size to build your shadow box frame. The thicker board will form the top, sides, and bottom of your frame, so cutting them from the same piece of plywood will ensure that they're uniform and consistent.[3]
You can purchase plywood boards at hardware stores, at home improvement stores, and online.
Cut the top and bottom pieces from the board. Measure the top or bottom of the plywood backing that you cut and then mark the measurements onto the plywood board. Use the circular saw to cut 2 segments from the board to form the top and bottom pieces of the frame.
You can also use a table saw or a hand saw to cut the board.
You will end up with 1 sheet of thinner plywood and 2 lengths of the thicker plywood.
Subtract from the length and cut the side pieces. Subtract the thickness of the top and bottom boards from the total length of the backing to find the length of your side boards. Then, cut them out of the plywood.[4]
The 2 top pieces will be the same length as the width of the plywood backing of the frame. The 2 sides will be slightly shorter than the length of the backing because of the top and bottom pieces.
Sand all of the pieces of wood with 180-grit sandpaper. Use gentle, circular motions to lightly sand all of the pieces of wood to remove splinters and rough patches. Pay extra attention to the edges and the sides that were cut so the boards are even and consistent.[5]
Wipe or blow off any sawdust from the surface of the wood when you're done sanding.
Apply wood glue to 1 of the short boards. Take 1 of the shorter length of boards that will form either the top or the bottom of the shadow box frame and squeeze a line of wood glue across the bottom edge of it. Use enough glue to form an even and consistent line along the bottom.[6]
Wood glue is available at home improvement stores, at hardware stores, and online.
Press the glue side of the short board to the top edge of the backing. Press the short board at either short end of the plywood backing so the edges of the board and the backing are flush against each other. Hold the board in place for about 10 seconds so it sticks.[7]
Gently release pressure from the board so the glue holds it in place.
Clamp the boards together with a C-clamp for 1 hour. Tighten a C-clamp on top of the board to apply pressure while the glue bonds the 2 pieces of wood together. Leave the clamped pieces of wood alone to allow the glue to dry and bond them together. After an hour, release the clamp and gently wiggle the wood to make sure it's held securely by the glue.[8]
You could also use a jaw clamp or a screw clamp as well.
You can find C-clamps at your local hardware store and online.
Check the packaging of the wood glue for specific drying times.
Drive nails into the 2 ends of the board. Use a hammer to drive the nails through the plywood backing and into the thicker board. Drive nails at both ends of the board to secure it to the backing.[9]
Use light hammer strokes to drive the nails into the wood so you don't crack the frame.
Attach the rest of the boards to the backing to form the frame. Apply wood glue to the bottom edge of a board, press it to the backing, and then clamp it into place with a C-clamp. When the glue dries, drive nails through the backing and into the top and bottom of the board. Continue working until all of the sides are connected to the backing.[10]
Choose an acrylic or latex paint in a contrasting color. Shadow box frames are often black because it causes the art or object being displayed in the frame to stand out. You can choose any contrasting color to add depth and dimension to the item in the frame.[11]
Acrylic or latex paints are easy to apply to the wood.
You can find paint at paint supply stores, hardware stores, department stores, and online.
Lay down newspaper or drop cloths over a clean work area. Clear a desk or table to use as a workspace while you paint your shadow box frame. Cover the space with drop cloths or newspaper so you don't get paint on anything and cleaning up afterward will be easy.[12]
You can use a tarp, plastic sheeting, newspaper, or anything else you don't mind getting paint on to protect your workspace.
Use a paintbrush to apply a thin coat to the sides, inside, and back. Dip a paintbrush into the paint and use smooth, consistent strokes to apply a thin layer of paint to the wood. Paint the inside, the backing, and 3 of the sides. When the paint dries, paint the last side so you don't create smudges by holding the frame to paint it.[13]
Work to apply an even layer of paint.
Be sure to paint the corners and edges of the frame as well.
Allow the paint to dry for at least 1 hour. Drying times can vary based on the type of paint you're using as well as the temperature and humidity of the room you're working in, but you need to wait at least an hour to allow the first coat of paint to dry. Test to see that it's dry by touching the paint with your finger.[14]
Check the packaging on the paint for specific drying times.
Work in a well-ventilated room to avoid breathing in the paint fumes and aim a fan at the frame to speed up the drying time of the paint.
Apply a second coat of paint for better coverage. You may notice spots where you can see the wood through the coat of paint, so apply a second coat using the same smooth strokes to create an even and consistent finish. Allow the second coat to dry completely.[15]
If necessary, you can apply an additional coat of paint to the frame.
Use a picture frame with glass that matches your dimensions. A simple way to add a front panel to your shadow box is to connect a wooden picture frame that already has the glass connected to it. Choose a frame that fits the dimensions of your shadow box so it fits onto it evenly.[16]
Remove any backing or other materials from the picture frame so that only the front wooden frame and the glass remains.
You can buy new frames at craft supply stores and department stores.
Look for old picture frames at thrift stores that you can upcycle for your project!
Drill 2 hinges onto the inside of the picture frame. Flip the picture frame over so the back is facing up. Use a power drill to attach a small hinge to the outermost edge of one of the sides of the frame near the top. Then, attach another small hinge to the outermost edge of the frame near the bottom so there are 2 hinges on the same side.[17]
Make sure the hinges are aligned with each other and evenly spaced from the top and bottom edges of the frame.
Use the small screws that come with the hinges.
You can find small hinges at home improvement stores, department stores, and online.
Screw the hinges to the front edge of the shadow box frame. Lay the picture frame on your shadow box frame and align the hinges so they lay flat on the outer edge on the front. Use your drill to drive the screws into the shadow box frame so the hinges connect the picture frame to it.[18]
Open and close the front panel to make sure it works and the edges are lined up evenly.
You can also use a screwdriver if you don't have access to a power drill.
Paint the front panel to match the rest of the frame. Use the same paint or stain that you used to paint the rest of the shadow box frame and apply a thin coat over the front panel. Allow the paint to dry completely and then add a second coat so none of the original paint or color is visible.[19]
Use as many coats as it takes to cover the panel without any of the original paint visible.
Whether you're applying for a job or looking for a new profile photo for social media, your portrait is where you make your first impression. A low-quality photo can make you look sloppy, unprofessional, and sends the message that you don't care about presentation. On the other hand, a high-quality self-portrait draws the viewer in and incentivizes them to take a closer look at your photo, profile, and resume. Choosing an appropriate backdrop, using a great camera, and adjusting the camera's settings based on your lighting is a solid recipe for success. With enough practice and patience, you'll be able to emulate the look of professional photos in no time.
Shoot indoors for a standard headshot with a basic background. If you're shooting professional photos for personal use, like for social media, choose any backdrop that you think will be interesting. If you're shooting a professional headshot, choose a blank wall, shoot with bookshelves behind you, or hang a simple bedsheet behind you.[1]
To hang a sheet for a portrait, use tape or a curtain rod to hang the sheet vertically behind you.
If you want to add a little more attitude or personality to your image, feel free to shoot your business headshot against a textured or wallpapered wall.
Set your shot up next to a bright window and add lights as needed. Shoot during the day and set up your shot in a bright, sunny room. Use lamps, your camera flash, and ceiling lights to complement the light from your window. You can rent or buy a softbox for perfect portrait lighting if you'd like. Set additional light sources to the right or left of the camera to create dynamic shadows and highlights.[2]
If you use additional lighting sources, use light sources that produce white light, as opposed to yellow or blue light. A softbox is a professional piece of equipment that produces high-quality white light.
Take photos outdoors for a more dynamic, natural shot. Look for a nice backdrop outdoors where the background will match the tone that you're aiming for in your image. Stairs, porches, and backyards can provide interesting locations for a self-portrait. If you're shooting a headshot, a simple brick wall or city skyline can provide a standard backdrop that won't stand out too much or dominate the image.[3]
Shoot outdoor photos during the day with the sun behind the camera. Shoot during the day when the sun is out to get bright, natural lighting. Choose an angle where you aren't directly in front of the sun. Otherwise, your face won't be illuminated. Avoid shooting around noon when the sun is high in the sky to avoid washing your image out in light.[4]
For a more dynamic look, shoot 15-45 minutes after sunrise or before sunset. These periods are known as the golden hours, and they're the periods in the day when the light is softer and more radiant.
Avoid shooting in overcast conditions. It is difficult to achieve strong highlights and shadows if there isn't much direct light outside.
Choose an outfit that matches the goal of your photo. If you're taking self-portraits for personal use, you can wear whatever you want for your photo! Dress professionally for a business headshot. If you're wearing a suit, make sure that it has been dry cleaned and ironed. If you're going for a more traditional look, put a tie on. For a more contemporary, trendy look, skip the tie. If you're wearing a dress, make sure that it is business appropriate. Wash, comb, and gel your hair the way you normally would for a job interview or important business meeting.[5]
if you're in an industry that generally benefits from a less-formal look, feel free to dress a little more casually. Wear a trendier dress or a unique suit jacket without a tie. A sweater over a collared shirt can work as well. This would be appropriate for graphic designers, programmers, or writers.
Most business headshots are from the waist or chest and up. If you don't plan on taking any full-body shots, feel free to wear some comfortable sweatpants or something like that.
Compare examples online or from coworkers to find what looks appropriate. Look at your boss's headshot on social media to get a sense for what's appropriate in your industry. If you can't find it online, look for people in similar positions online. This is a great way to get a sense for where you should take your photo and how you should dress.[6]
If you're looking for a new position or promotion, look at how the managers and directors in your field dress. For example, if you're a mechanical engineer, look at how the head of engineering departments look in their headshots.
LinkedIn is great for this. Go on LinkedIn and browse profiles to compare how people present themselves in their photos.
This is less important if you aren't shooting a business headshot since you can wear whatever you want.
Use a DSLR camera or newer smartphone to get a high-quality image. A DSLR will give you more control over your image, but you can certainly use a phone with a high-quality lens if you that's all you have available. It will be hard to get a high-quality image using a cheap camera or old phone. If you're aiming for a professional look, it's not worth wasting your time if you don't have a great camera.[7]
Newer iPhones and Samsung models made after 2016 are known for having great cameras. If your phone's camera has more than 12 megapixels (MP), the quality is likely very good. Megapixels refer to the number of pixels in each image. The more pixels there are, the more detailed the image will be.[8]
DSLR stands for digital single-lens reflex camera. DSLRs are the bulky cameras with big lenses that you see tourists and professional photographers using.
Set up your camera on a tripod or a flat, stable surface. Since you won't be able take professional-looking photos while holding your camera, you'll need a tripod or a flat surface to balance it on. Either attach your camera or smartphone to a tripod, or rest it on a flat surface, like a bookshelf, some books stacked on a table, a bench, or any other surface that's high enough to capture your shot.[9]
Tripods for DSLRs are universal, and basically every camera should fit on a standard camera tripod. You can also get a tripod for your phone if that's how you're shooting your photos.
Set the shutter speed between 1/60-1/200 for a sharp photo. Shutter speed refers to how long the lens is exposed for an image. A faster shutter speed results in a sharper image, but requires a lot of light to illuminate the subject. A slower shutter speed will result in a brighter image, but things will be blurry if the camera and subject aren't perfectly still. Keep the shutter speed at 1/60 or lower for a clear, sharp image.[10]
Prioritize shutter speed over the other settings for a business headshot. Raise the ISO or lower the aperture before you increase the shutter speed.
Turn the ISO to 100-400 for a clear, grain-free image. ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. A higher ISO results in a grainer image, but requires a low exposure. A lower ISO will result in a higher-quality image, but requires a longer exposure. Start with the ISO at 100, 200, or 400 and make adjustments as needed based on the light you have available.[11]
Do not exceed 800 ISO. If you do, you're going to end up with noise in your photo and it may look grainy. The only time you should exceed 800 ISO is if you're shooting an artistic portrait and want the digital image to resemble film.
Adjust the aperture based on the depth of the image you want. Aperture, or f-stop, refers to the depth of field in an image. The lower the aperture, the blurrier images in the background will be. A high aperture requires a longer shutter speed. Unless you want to draw attention to something in the background, keep the f-stop under f/12.[12]
For an outdoor business headshot, set the aperture as low as you can (usually around f/2) to blur the background out. You want the emphasis to be on you, not the background.
Place an item where you plan on standing and adjust the focus. Once you set your camera and lights up, put a chair, standing lamp, broom, or some other object in the location where you're going to stand for the self-portrait. Then, either adjust the focus manually or use the automatic focus setting to bring your object into focus. This way, you know that you'll be in focus when you replace the object for your portrait.[13]
On most phones, you touch the screen where the object is to put it into focus.
On a DSLR, the focus setting is typically on the side of the lens itself. "M" stands for manual while "A" stands for automatic. When it's set to automatic, you press the shutter button halfway down and the lens will adjust accordingly based on what you're looking at in the viewfinder.
Set the timer on your camera. Every camera has a delayed-timer setting which should give you enough time to move from the camera to the spot where you're going to stand for the photo. Unfortunately, you will need to repeat this process every time you want to take a photo. To take multiple photos at once, connect an intervalometer or remote shutter to your camera and use that instead.[14]
An intervalometer is an automated attachment that you plug into your camera. Set it to take a photo every 1, 5, or 10 seconds to change your pose or facial expression after every shot. Intervalometers are typically used to make stop-motion videos or in time-lapse photography.
A remote shutter is an attachment that plugs into you camera. It comes with a clicker that you can click from anywhere to take a photo without being behind the camera.
Run to your mark and pose for the camera. Once you set the timer, move quickly to the spot where you're taking your photo and pose. Position yourself so that you're in the exact location where the object you used to set the focus. Take a breath and make whatever expression or gesture you'd like for your photo.[15]
For a business headshot, be sure to relax your arms at your side and stand up straight. Tense arms can make you hunch over a little, which can make you look dishonest or tired.
You can stuff your hands in your pockets if it makes it easier for you to relax.
If you're shooting some artful self-portraits, feel free to make whatever facial expression you think works for the image you're going for.
Review the results of your shot and adjust the settings as needed. Once you've taken a single shot, go back to the camera and review your image. Use this first shot as a metric for what settings or adjustments you need to make in terms of how you look and what the camera settings are. If the image is too dark, try raising the ISO 100-200 or lowering the shutter speed. If you're blurry, readjust the focus. If the image is washed out in light, lower the ISO to 200-400 before moving the shutter speed down.[16]
It is extremely unlikely that your first photo will look right. Don't worry--the closer you get to the right settings for your shot, the more likely you are to find the perfect self-portrait!
Continue taking photos until you have several portraits to choose from. Once you've adjusted your settings based on your first image, continue taking photos. Make adjustments as needed and shoot multiple images until you achieve your goal. Shoot at least 10-20 images to increase the chances that at least 1 of your portraits is excellent![17]
The more images you take, the more likely it is that you'll capture something truly special. At the same time, it can take a long time to sort through hundreds of photos! Ideally, you should have at least 5 options to choose from.
Edit your photographs using professional editing software. If you know how to use a complex editing program like Photoshop, upload your photos and edit the ones you really like in your editing program. Otherwise, download a simple and free editing program like PhotoScape, Photoshop Express, or Gimp. Crop your images to get the best ratio between your body and the negative space, adjust the light levels, and apply filters as desired to improve the look of your photos.[18]
If the color of the lighting is off, change the white balance settings. To make your image brighter or darker, use the brightness or contrast settings to adjust the light in your photo.
Professional headshots typically don't use flashy camera filters. If you really want to stand out and you're in a creative industry, feel free to opt for a black and white filter, though!
If you're using your phone, click the "edit" button in the gallery screen to change a photo. You can always edit photos from your camera in a computer program after you edit them, though.
In a professional headshot, there should probably be a 2:1 ratio between your body and the background. You want the focus to be on you, not the background.
Angle your chin slightly away from the camera to appear less flat in your self-portrait. This is a common technique that you can utilize to look more appealing and attractive.
A shaking washing machine can be quite concerning. It may feel like the floor is about to collapse underneath your machine, and the sound can make it seem like the entire building is falling apart. Fear not! The odds are high that your clothes aren't evenly distributed inside your drum. Outside of an improperly-loaded machine, the most common source of a shaking washer is that the legs are not level, which is an incredibly easy fix. If it won't stop shaking after you've leveled it, you may want to replace the shock absorbers, which can be a tougher fix for a non-professional. If you ever run into a problem that you can't solve, consult a repair company to see if they can solve the issue.
Move your clothes around in the middle of a spin cycle. If your washer starts shaking during the spin cycle, pause the washing machine. Open the door to inspect the arrangement of your clothes. If there is an uneven pile, your drum may have simply bundled your clothes into an uneven ball. Spread your clothes out and resume your spin cycle.[1]
If your washer continues to shake, remove some of your clothes. You may have simply overloaded it.
If your washer consistently causes your clothes to bundle together into an uneven ball, the drum is probably absorbing weight unevenly because it isn't level.
Use smaller loads of clothes when filling your washing machine. You may be filling the drum with too many clothes when you use your washer, even if it doesn't seem like it. Only add clothes until the drum is half-full so that the clothes have room to move when the drum spins. For a front-loading machine, pile your clothes up higher towards the back of the drum and avoid leaving them near the door.[2]
Overfilling your machine will also keep your clothes from getting adequately clean.
Try rocking the machine when it isn't running to see if it tilts and move it. To see if your washer isn't level, put both hands on the top of your washer. Try pushing it side-to-side. If it wobbles or gives at all, your machine isn't level and the vibration from the drum is making the legs bang repeatedly into the floor. Find a more even section of flooring and move the washer to see if the problem stops.[3]
If your dryer is unlevel too, then it's probably your floor's fault. Try finding a flatter area of your home to set the machines or slide a sheet of plywood underneath them.
Look for shipping bolts on the back and bottom of a new washer. Open a front-loading washer and try to press the bottom of the drum down. If it doesn't move at all, the delivery or installation crew probably forgot to remove the shipping bolts. Turn your washer on to its side. Look underneath the machine and behind it for plastic clamps that are shoved over the openings or bolts.
The shipping bolts ensure that your drum doesn't move during delivery and installation. They will cause a machine to shake if they're left in.
Depending on the make and model of your machine, the shipping bolts may be hiding behind the back panel. If your back panel simply slides out, lift it up to see if there are any plastic pieces latched to your drum.
Remove the shipping bolts by hand or with a wrench. Remove the shipping bolts by squeezing the handle and pulling them. If the bolts are screwed into a panel, place a wrench over the bolt and turn it counterclockwise to loosen and remove them. Sometimes, you can simply unscrew the bolts by hand.[4]
The shipping bolts are usually brightly-colored so that they're easy to notice. They also tend to be made from a cheap plastic. They should look really out of place on your machine.
Place a spirit level on top of your washer near the front. Take a spirit level and place it on the top of your washing machine along the front end. Check to see which side is tilting up by looking at the bubble in the middle of your level. The side that the bubble is leaning towards is higher than the other side.[5]
Newer machines typically don't have adjustable legs in the back.
It is better to raise a leg than lower one, so adjust the leg that is too high.
Lift the washer and put a block of wood under the bottom of the front. Shut the water lines and turn the electricity off by unplugging your machine. Pull your machine away from any walls. Tilt the machine so that the front legs lift off of the floor and the slide a block of wood under the front of the machine. Let your machine back down slowly so that it rests on the block.[6]
If your machine isn't stable as it rests on the block, add another block next to your first block to distribute the weight more evenly.
You can use a brick or other solid object if you don't have a block of wood.
Turn the bolts on the legs with a wrench to adjust the front legs. Start by adjusting the leg that is higher. Use a wrench or channel locks to loosen the bolt on the top of the leg by turning it counterclockwise. Then, turn the base of the leg clockwise to raise it by twisting it.[7]
Tighten the bolt above the base of the leg to lock it in place. Use channel locks or a wrench to turn the bolt near the top of the leg clockwise. Turn it until it is tight against the base of your machine. This will lock the leg and keep it from moving when you lower it.[8]
You can use trial and error by lowering the legs and checking the level again, or your can try to measure each leg with a measuring tape. You may not be able to visually determine if the legs are even.
Lower your washing machine and check the spirit level again. Slide the wood block out and slowly lower the machine back down. Put your level back on top of your machine and check the air bubble to see if it is level. If it is, try wobbling your machine again. If it doesn't move, you've successfully leveled the machine. If it wobbles and the front is level, you have to adjust the legs in the back.[9]
Place the level on the control panel at the back to check the back legs. Most modern washing machines have self-leveling legs in the back and you won't need to adjust them. If your machine is more than 10 years old though, this may not be the case. Place your level flat on top of the control panel near the back of the machine. If the bubble is centered, your back legs do not need to be readjusted.[10]
If the back legs are level, tap each leg in the back 2-3 times with your wrench or channel locks. There may be a little rust or dirt stuck in the self-leveling joint.
If your control panel is round on top or set at an angle, place your level directly in front of it.
Use the same process you used with the front legs to adjust the back legs. Use the level to determine which leg is higher. Lift the machine up a little bit and slide a piece of wood underneath. Adjust the higher leg in the back to make it lower using the same bolt and tools that you used on the front.[11]
Tap the self-leveling support if the rear legs aren't adjustable. If you tilt your machine and discover that your back legs are indeed self-adjusting, lint and rust may have built up on the rear legs to keep them from moving. Tap the exposed legs lightly with the back of your wrench or channel locks to shake the rust and dirt off.[12]
You can also spray the legs with a little bit of machine or hinge lubricant. Wipe off the excess lubricant after you've applied it to the leg near the connection to the frame.
Lower the machine and try running an empty cycle. Remove the wooden block and lower your machine back down. Slide the machine back into place and run the machine while it's empty. If the machine doesn't shake, you've successfully levelled it. If it continues to shake, you probably need to replace the shock absorbers.[13]
Order replacement shock absorbers from your machine's manufacturer. Use the model number and brand listed on your machine to determine what kind of washing machine you're using. Contact your manufacturer and order some replacement shock absorbers.[14]
The shock absorbers are small coils or pistons that absorb the vibration from your drum when it's spinning. They also connect the drum to the frame of the machine. There are either 2, 4, or 5 of them depending on your model.
The model and brand are usually listed on the front, but they may be printed on a metal plate on the back of the machine or inside of the door.
Some newer models require a professional to install new shock absorbers. Read your machine's manual to see if you can take the front panel off to access the shock absorbers.
Disconnect the water and turn off the electricity. Find the supply lines for cold and hot water on the back of your machine. Twist the valve on each line so that it is closed. Turn the electricity for your machine off by unplugging it.[15]
The water lines are usually thin and made of rubber. They often have a blue and red valve on top of them near the connection to the frame.
Remove the front panel for a front-load washer. Ask your manufacturer or consult your machine's manual to determine how to remove your front panel. Usually this involves removing the rubber seal around your drum and unscrewing several screws under the panel before lifting it up.[16]
Remove the bottom panel on a top-load washer. You'll have to tilt the machine on its side to do this. Keep the case from getting scratched by laying a rug or towel out before doing this.
Unscrew the shock absorbers with a wrench or channel locks. Find the shock absorbers by looking for rods connecting the drum to the frame. Unscrew the bolts connecting each rod to the drum and frame. Remove your rods and set them aside. They may not appear to be broken, but the inner coil in one of these absorbers may be broken.[17]
Some shock absorbers have pins locking them to the drum and the frame. If any of the pins fell out, simply slide them back in. This was probably the cause of your shaking.
If you have 5 absorbers, 1 of them is probably in the back. You may not be able to reach this piece without professional assistance.
Insert your new shock absorbers and tighten them. Put your replacement parts in the corresponding locations. Screw each one into place by tightening the bolt after you've slid it on to the threading. Tighten the bolts with your wrench or channel locks by turning each one clockwise until it won't turn anymore.[18]
Reinstall the panels and run a test wash. Put your panel back and screw in the corresponding screws. Put the rubber seal back and open your water lines. Plug the machine in and set it to run a basic wash cycle. If you hear rattling inside the machine, you probably missed a bolt for a shock absorber. If the machine still wobbles but doesn't rattle, you probably need to replace the drum.[19]
Replacing the drum in a washing machine is often not worth it, and you should consult a washing machine repair company to determine the price of the repair. It is not typically a problem that a non-professional can solve.
Put a sheet of plywood underneath your washer and dryer if your dryer is shaking too, since this probably means that the problem is an uneven floor. Purchase a flat piece of plywood from your local hardware store. Use a level on each section of the surface before buying it to ensure that it is flat. Unplug your washer and dryer and turn the water supply lines off by turning the valves closed. Slide the plywood underneath to give the washer and dryer a firmer platform. This is really hard to do without help. Consider enlisting the help of a friend to assist you with the heavy lifting.[20]
If your house is incredibly old and your washer isn't in the basement, it may be a weight problem. Go the floor underneath the washer and dryer to see if it buckles when the machine shakes. If they do, call a contractor—the joists in your floor probably need to be replaced.
Coming out to your friends can be scary, but it's also a really exciting time in your life. Revealing your sexuality or gender identity allows you to live the life you want, but it's normal to feel worried about how people are going to react. To make coming out to your friends easier, first decide who you feel comfortable telling. Then, plan what you want to say beforehand. Once you know what you want to say, announce your sexuality or gender identity in a way that's comfortable for you. Additionally, be prepared to handle different types of reactions.
Wait until you feel ready to come out. There's no rush to come out, and you don't owe anyone an explanation about your sexuality or gender identity. Give yourself as much time as you need to get comfortable with yourself before you reveal yourself to your friends. Your coming out should be on your own terms.[1]
In some cases, friends or family members might be asking about your sexuality or gender identity. You don't have to answer them until you're ready. You might instead say, "I'm not really worried about dating right now. Are you seeing someone?"
Some of your friends might feel ready to come out before you, and that's okay! You don't need to come out just because someone else has. Your journey is different from theirs.
Ask your friends about LGBTQ+ issues to see if they're accepting. It's normal to feel nervous about how your friends will react. Fortunately, you can test their reactions by seeing how they respond to LGBTQ+ topics. Bring up an LGBTQ+ character, news story, or issue, then ask your friends what they think about it. See if they seem supportive or possibly judgmental.[2]
You might say, "What did you think of Love, Simon?" "Were you shocked when Cheryl came out as a lesbian on Riverdale?" or "I'm confused about this same sex wedding cake debate. What do you think?"
If you're transgender or nonbinary, you might say, "Have you read about the transgender bathroom laws? What do you think?" or "Have you ever questioned your own gender identity?"
Identify the friends you think will support you. Consider which of your friends seem supportive of same sex relationships, transgender people, and nonbinary people. Pick the people you think will be most supportive to tell first. As you tell more people, your supportive friends can be there for you as you come out to others.[3]
It's possible that many of your friends will be supportive. However, it's okay if you just start with a single friend. What's important is that you feel comfortable with your coming out journey.
Postpone telling people you think will judge or reject you. While it's not fair to you, some people may have trouble accepting your identity. This can be really painful, but it's important to remember that this has nothing to do with you. If you suspect someone will react negatively, wait to tell them until you're ready to deal with their reaction. Keep in mind that you never have to tell them if you don't want to.[4]
For instance, you might have a friend who's very vocal about their negative opinions regarding LGBTQ+ issues. It's probably best not to tell them about your identity.
If you're feeling hurt over losing friends who won't accept you, remind yourself that true friends love you for who you are. You don't need negative people in your life, and you will find friends who support you.
Make new friends in the LGBTQ+ community if you don't have support. It's okay if you feel nervous about trying to make new friends. Don't worry about bonding with people right away. Just focus on meeting people through social events or online. Get to know them and try to make a connection. Soon, you'll have new friends who love you for who you are.[5]
Go to LGBTQ+ events or Meetups in your area. Set a goal to meet people and say, "Hi." Over time, you'll make a few new friends.
Write down what you want to tell your friends. Think about everything you'd like to say, then jot down the ideas that seem most important to you. Pour out your heart and say how you feel about your friends. Then, revise what you've written so that it's clear and concise.[6]
You might write something like, "Lately, I've been dealing with a lot of conflict inside myself, but recently I realized something really important. You're one of my closest friends, so I want to be my true self around you. I hope that you'll accept me for who I am. I'm gay, and I'm ready to live my life out and proud."
Use a positive tone to show that you're proud of who you are. Your sexuality or gender identity is part of you, so you have every right to be excited and proud to share it with people. Don't let worries about how people will react make you feel ashamed or like you're holding in a secret. As you plan what you want to say, keep your tone positive and celebratory.[7]
For instance, use an upbeat tone of voice while you're speaking. Additionally, focus on how you're sharing your truth rather than thinking of this as a dark secret.
Say only what feels comfortable to you. You are totally in control of what you say during your coming out. Don't feel pressured to provide personal details or to explain yourself. Decide what you're comfortable sharing, and stick to that.[8]
You don't need to provide "proof" of your sexuality or gender identity. Similarly, you don't need to explain how you realized your identity unless you want to do so. What you share is totally up to you.
Practice what you want to say so it's easier to share with your friends. State what you want to say aloud so you can hear how it sounds. You might also sit in front of a mirror so you can practice telling it to someone else. Keep practicing until you feel comfortable with what you want to say.[9]
If something feels wrong, don't be afraid to change it.
If you're already out to a family member or best friend, ask them to help you practice. For instance, you might tell them what you plan to say and get their feedback.
[Edit]Announcing Your Sexuality or Gender Identity
Tell your friends in person if you feel comfortable doing it face-to-face. If you're comfortable coming out in person, doing it one-on-one or in small groups is an awesome idea. Ask your friends to meet you in a comfortable, private location. Then, tell them what you practiced.[10]
For instance, you might ask your friends out to dinner or could invite them over to your house.
Use props if you want to make it playful and fun. You get to set the mood for your coming out. If you want it to be more playful than serious, try adding props to your announcement. You might use a large banner or give your friends small items or gifts with your LGBTQ+ announcement written on them. In addition to keeping it fun, props also break the ice for you! Here are some ideas:[11]
Make a banner that says "I'm gay!" and stand under it.
Hand out cupcakes that say "Your Friend is Bi."
Give your friends eggs filled with glitter, then ask everyone to break them just before you make your announcement.
Sing "I'm Coming Out" on a karaoke machine.
Come out in a text if you're too nervous to say it in person. You might be too nervous to tell people in person, and that's totally okay! Instead, type out everything you want to say into a text. Alternatively, send your friends a fun coming out meme. In addition to helping you feel comfortable, this gives them time to process the information and come up with a response.[12]
You could text them, "Hey, you're one of my best friends, so I wanted to tell you something really important about me. I hope that you'll accept me for who I am and be there for me. I've known for awhile that I'm a trans man, and I want to start living my life as my true self."
Write a letter if you express yourself better on paper. A personal letter is an intimate way of expressing what you want to say without having to do it in person. Write or type all of the information you want to share as part of your coming out. Personalize letters to each of your friends so they understand how much they mean to you. Send the letters to your friends, then wait a few days before following up with everyone.[13]
Some of your friends might reach out to you right away. If this happens, listen to what they have to say and answer questions you feel comfortable with.
After about 2-3 days, contact friends you haven't heard from. Say something like, "I wanted to talk to you about the letter I sent you. Have you read it?"
Make an announcement on social media to tell everyone at once. If you're comfortable with everyone knowing your sexuality or gender identity, posting on social media might be a fun, easy way to come out to everyone. Type out an emotional message if that feels right to you, or post a fun LGBTQ+ photo. Explain that you're proud of who you are and hope your friends will be supportive.[14]
Type something like, "I feel like it's time for me to be honest with everyone. I'm gay and proud! I hope that everyone reading this can accept me for who I am and will support my coming out!"
You could also post a pic of you in your favorite rainbow outfit, holding a sign that says, "Hey! I'm Gay!"
Host a coming out party if you want to set a celebratory tone. If you enjoy being the center of attention, a coming out party might be the most fun way to tell your friends. Plan a party that's as big or small as you feel comfortable with. Then, invite the friends you think will be supportive. Here are some party ideas to help you come out:[15]
Consider using rainbow decorations to signal to your friends that this is a coming out party.
Hang a banner that announces your sexuality or gender identity if that feels right to you.
Have a toast to give your coming out speech.
Decorate your treats with fun coming out statements, like "Gay AF" or "Who runs my world? Girls!"
Expect your friends to ask questions. Your friends are probably going to have questions, so decide what you're comfortable addressing. Don't feel pressured to answer any questions that make you uncomfortable. However, it's helpful to provide answers to topics you're open to talking about.[16]
For instance, your friend might ask, "How long have you known you were transgender?" You might say, "I realized I was really a guy when I was 3-years-old, but I haven't felt comfortable talking about it until now." Similarly, a friend might ask, "Are you sure you're gay?" You could respond, "Yes, I'm definitely attracted to guys."
Gently refuse to answer questions that are too personal. Let's say your friend asks about your sex life. You might say, "I'm glad you want to know me better, but that's not something I feel comfortable sharing. I hope you understand."
Give your friends time to process your coming out. It's common for your friends to feel shocked, even if they're super supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. This doesn't mean they're pulling away or don't accept you. It's important to give them the time they need to think about what you've said and decide how to respond. Let your friends have time to think things over.[17]
Some of your friends might immediately reach out to you, and that's awesome!
If your friends go quiet for a few days, give them a little space. After a few days, touch base with them to see if they're open to talking. You might text them, "Hey! I just wanted to see how you were doing. Wanna chat?"
Don't take negative responses personally. Unfortunately, some people may react negatively when you come out. This can be super painful, but it's important to remember that they aren't really rejecting you. Their reaction is about them, so try to separate yourself from it.[18]
Take a break from people who are making you feel bad about yourself.
If someone says a nasty comment to you, respond with something like, "I'm sorry that you hold that kind of hate in your heart," "I'm sorry you feel that way," or "It's not okay for you to say these things to me."
Ask your friends not to tell anyone else if that's important to you. You have the right to decide who knows about your sexuality and gender identity. Your coming out should be on your own terms, so tell your friends what you're comfortable with them sharing. This will help you control your own story and decide what labels apply to you.[19]
Say something like, "I'm telling you this because you're one of my closest friends. However, I'm not ready for everyone at school to know, so please don't tell anyone else," or "I'm planning to come out to different people at different times. Please don't discuss this with anyone else because I want to tell them in my own time."
Focus on the positives because your identity is something to celebrate. There may be some difficult moments during your coming out process. Try not to let these issues get you down. Instead, think about what's going right in your life and how awesome it will be to finally live the life you want.[20]
Make a gratitude list to remind yourself of what's going well. Write down 3-5 things that you're grateful for every day, then re-read your list when you're feeling down.
Surround yourself with people who support you so you're not worrying about people who are negative.
Don't forget about online forums! If you're not feeling supported in real life right now, look for pro-LGBTQ+ friends online. You're not alone!
Recognize it's okay to change your label as you grow. While some people instantly know their sexuality or gender identity, it's okay if it takes you a while to fully understand who you are. Give yourself permission to be who you are on the inside, even if that means coming out again to the same group of friends. If they're the right friends for you, they'll support you every time![21]
For instance, you might think that you're bisexual at first. However, you might later discover that you're gay. Similarly, you might think you're nonbinary but may decide that you're actually transgender. It's okay to re-label yourself!
Make fun plans for the 2-3 days after your coming out because it may take your friends time to process what you've said. Instead of sitting around worrying about their reaction, have some fun!
If you haven't accepted your sexuality or gender identity yet, you may be more likely to take negative reactions badly. Reach out to the LGBTQ+ community for support and to help you learn to love yourself. It also helps to see a counselor.
Don't blame yourself if someone won't accept you. Your sexuality or gender identity is part of who you are, and you have every right to live your life on your own terms.
See a therapist if you're feeling anxious or depressed over being LGBTQ+ or over the responses from your friends. Your therapist can help you work through your feelings and learn to love yourself. Additionally, they'll help you build new friendships, if necessary.
Get help immediately if someone threatens you with violence. While it's totally unfair, some people can be cruel.
