7-to-7 is the new 9-to-5: Research shows that workers' days in the office are fewer but longer than pre-pandemic
- The 9-to-5 grind is giving way to a new norm: the 7-to-7 hustle. According to Bevi, known for its water coolers in 25% of Fortune 500 companies, there's been a notable shift in office hours.
- More employees are starting their workday at 7 am, a 25% increase compared to pre-pandemic times. And they're not clocking out at 5 pm either. This trend hints at a desire to maximize in-office productivity, perhaps to stand out or dodge rush hour madness.
- As co-founder of AllBright, Debbie Wosskow OBE, notes, visibility matters. The era of 9-to-5 may be fading, replaced by a more flexible, round-the-clock work ethos.

Maternity benefits facilitate employee retention, not population control: Bombay HC

Turkey’s solar ambitions range beyond its borders
- Turkey's solar energy market is growing at an impressive rate. Kalyon, Turkey's largest vertically integrated module manufacturer, has annual manufacturing capacity at 2GW for modules and solar cells, set to reach 10GW in 10 years. The government is incentivising solar power installations with lower feed-in tariffs for solar systems that used Turkish-made modules. Tariffs are also in place for solar modules imported from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Croatia and Jordan to discourage imports and facilitate domestic manufacturing. The competition is not coming from China, where prices are lower and technology superior to Turkish made modules.
- Turkish module manufacturing is largely an assembly business with just one Turkish manufacturer producing solar ingots, but this could change with domestic capacity rising. Consolidation is expected among the existing manufacturers while equipment suppliers from China are investing in Turkish production. Interest from consumers in the United States helps Turkey's module manufacturers offset the economic pressures of competing in the EU market.
- Despite challenges, Türkiye's National Energy Plan shows solar energy will account for 28% of total installed generation capacity by 2035. Solar energy storage systems are expected to reach 7.5 GW installed capacity. With an increasing role for energy storage, the market looks set for solar installation growth. Players are positioning to capture growth opportunities extending beyond Türkiye's borders.
- While the number of Turkish module assembly businesses has ballooned to more than 80 manufacturers, industry experts predict that consolidation or calls to Onshore key elements of the solar module supply chain may be the next big move for Turkey's PV manufacturing industry.
- Additionally, Elin Energy has started to produce solar modules at a facility in Texas, with ambitions to increase production capacity to 2GW within 18 months.
- Astronergy, part of China's CHINT Group conglomerate, has also recently announced a new factory in Adana, Türkiye, which is expected to start production in 3Q-2024 and employ 150 people in its first phase.
- Turkey's robust solar market provides ample opportunities for consolidation, the introduction of key aspects of solar module supply chain onshoring, and global expansion into other markets, including the United States.
- Overall, Turkey is well placed to take advantage of regional opportunities and to consolidate its position in the solar industry. The country is expected to continue to play a significant role in the global solar market in the near future.
- However, it may take time before the Turkish solar market is able to compete effectively on a global scale.
- Turkey's National Energy Plan predicts that solar will account for 28% of total installed generation capacity in 2035 and energy storage systems will reach 7.5 GW of installed capacity by that date.
- Domestic manufacturing of key solar module components such as solar ingots, wafers and solar cells, by leading Turkish manufacturers such as Kalyon PV, is expected to play a critical role in the country's continued development as a solar energy hub.

Homeworld 3 review: a lavish and often gripping RTS that is overly reliant on playing the hits
- Homeworld 3 is a sci-fi RTS with an immersive atmosphere, but it lacks depth.
- The control issues and reliance on reaction speed cut into the tactical play worth of the ships.
- The game consists of 13 missions, including the tutorial, but no base-defense mission.
- Homeworld 3 requires learning a control system specific to itself for commanding entire fleets.
- The combat lacks depth, and playing safe leaves limited opportunities for the game to be experimental.
- The game is lavishly presented, detailed, and accompanied by lengthy cutscenes and incredible vistas.
- The story is weak, with focus on few characters compared to its predecessor: Homeworld.
- The War Games mode is challenging in single-player, and the game is not much recommendable.
- The strong protagonist makes the journey gripping, with good sci-fi setting and some thoughtful details.
- It may leave you wanting more, but it is a good time overall and may pave the way for an experimental future sequel.
