Saving Lives

Save a Life

It takes three to tango to save a life. What? Should it be “it takes two to tango?” Just a catchy intro to grab the attention of readers. The three athletic staff members’ effort helped saved the life of a football reporter.

A simple phone conversation turns out to be a way of saving someone’s life. That’s what happened to an athletic director who was talking on the phone with a college football reporter when suddenly the voice of the latter becomes unclear. At first, the athletic director thought it was due to a bad connection but later on he realised something is wrong and immediately he made his way of getting her home address from his co-workers. With the effort of his 2 colleagues he was able to locate her house. The athletic director brought an ambulance, a police and firefighter with him to get into the house of the reporter. While this is happening, the assistant director was asked by the athletic director to keep talking with the reporter until the team reaches her house. Thankfully, the reporter is recuperating in the hospital. Thanks to the initiative of the athletic director and his colleagues in making an effort to save the reporter’s life. It’s such a heroin act. But he is humble enough not to be labeled as a hero.

Save Time

Necessity is the mother of invention. So goes the popular saying. This old adage is appropriate for the infrared cameras developed by the IT department of a supermarket firm in trimming down lengthy checkout lines. The cameras help in detecting the number of customers who comes in. This innovative technology is paired with software that determines the duration of shopping time spent by customers. In this way, it can determine the number of checkout lanes that needs to be opened. A screen displays the information which will prompt supervisors to deploy cashiers immediately.

This is such an impressive technological innovation that will surely develop into a more advanced stage in the future. It lessens the stress on the part of the customers and it will prevent employees from rushing just to serve the customers. Rushing and poor work practices are some of the common accidents that injure employees. That’s why they end up filling for work accident claim.
