Sand Angels nab world record

Sand Angels nab world record

It’s official! The Gold Coast now holds the World Record for the most people making sand angels simultaneously on a beach.

The City of Gold Coast received official notification this week that the November attempt - where 1624 angels gathered at Kurrawa Beach - was successful.

Mayor Tom Tate said almost $30,000 was raised on the day to support farmers through charity Drought Angels.

"This was a show of Gold Coast community spirit at its very best,” Mayor Tate said.

“It was a truly wonderful morning and I can’t wait until we are able to do another event like this one sometime in the future, once the pandemic is behind us.”

Groundwater Music Festival Director Mark Duckworth said the festival team couldn't be happier to be a part of this world record.

“The beach and the Gold Coast people are such a big part of our festival and we could not be prouder of the result."

Under the banner of We are Gold Coast, the City of Gold Coast joined forces with Groundwater Music Festival to deliver the community event.

Avoiding Miscommunication in a Digital World

Nick Morgan, a communications expert and speaking coach, says that while email, texting, and Slack might seem like they make communication easier, they actually make things less efficient. When we are bombarded with too many messages a day, he argues, humans are likely to fill in the gaps with negative information or assume the worst about the intent of a coworker's email. He offers up a few tips and tricks for how we can bring the benefits of face-to-face communication back into the digital workplace. Morgan is the author of the book, "Can You Hear Me?: How to Connect with People in a Virtual World."

Photos show how the world is readapting to socially-distanced life during the coronavirus pandemic, from plastic table barriers to taped-up urinals

Jorge Silva/Reuters

  • As some countries have started to lift their lockdown measures, public places have been making changes to adapt to government-issued social distancing measures. 
  • More public places are using tape, floor markers and plastic dividers to help people comply with social distancing guidelines. 
  • Photos show how people are trying to adapt to a new way of life during the coronavirus pandemic.
  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

As some countries begin to lift their coronavirus lockdown measures, public places have been getting creative to adjust to social distancing guidelines.

From waiters wearing personal protective equipment to schools using plastic dividers between children, these photos show the world is adjusting to life under the coronavirus pandemic.

As countries begin to slowly lift their lockdown measures, many changes have to be made to public life in an effort to prevent second waves of COVID-19.



One of the places that have to adapt the most is restaurants. Some have been coming up with creative ways to enforce social distancing measures, including putting up dividers on tables.

Athit Perawongmetha/Reuters

But in some places, a plastic divider is not enough. Diners in this Bangkok restaurant, for example, have been asked to sit diagonally from each other to maximize their distance.

NECA Legislative Top Three 3/20/20: World War COVID-19

1. Congress Passes Families First Coronavirus Response Act 

On March 18, 2020, the President signed into law the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (H.R.6201). NECA was able to work with Members of Congress to address many of the concerns related to paid sick leave and paid family leave. H.R. 6201 states that the paid sick and family leave mandate is optional for businesses with less than 50 employees and makes no mandate or credit for businesses with more than 500 employees. The new provision ensures that no business will be saddled with a financial liability larger than the payroll tax credit it receives. More information is available in NECA’s full summary.

NECA’s Look Ahead: The legislative process remains fluid and this bill is the second in a series of at least three bills designed to address this crisis. NECA continues to work with Members of Congress to ensure economic relief for our contractors in the Phase III stimulus package. 

2. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS to Provide Relief from Tax Payments

On March 18, 2020, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released a statement on what was being done to minimize the impact COVID-19 has on families and small businesses. This guidance allows tax payments to be deferred until July 15, 2020, with no penalties or interest. Those individuals that owe less than $1 million and corporations that owe less than $10 million qualify for this relief. The IRS resource page on Coronavirus Tax Relief can be found here.

NECA’s Look Ahead: NECA supports the actions being taken by the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS. We will continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 legislation on NECA contractors as well as any changes the Federal Government makes to provide relief. 

3. Register Today for the Government Affairs Webinar

On March 26, 2020 at 2:00 PM EST, NECA’s Government Affairs team will be hosting our quarterly Political Leadership Council (PLC) town hall webinar, but for one time only, we are allowing all NECA members to register for this webinar. NECA is devoted to keeping all our contractors up to date on the latest in Washington concerning the coronavirus.

NECA’s Look Ahead: The webinar content will focus on the legislation included in the coronavirus response package. The team will give an overview of Phases I and II, that have already passed Congress, as well as the status of Phase III.
