Beauty and The Business

Beauty and The Business

Once upon a time, this summer to be precise, a small group of travellers from Ontario arrived in the land of Quebec to discover its beauty, enjoy local food and meet the people who make all this deliciousness.

I always wonder about the people who work so hard in the places where most of us go to for vacation. Where do they go for vacation? Can they afford to take any? How can they focus on any work surrounded by such beauty? Do these people get bored and annoyed the same way as we do and want to escape somewhere to get that feeling of freedom even for a short time? Perhaps, I know the answers for most of these questions, I just do not want to hear them. We all want to believe that the places which are different from the ones we came from do exist.  Beautiful and sunny. And the people are always happy there. The places to dream about.

This was our second day in Quebec. We woke up early in the morning surprisingly well rested and full of energy. I blame the magic local air. Breakfast was served at 7:30. We quickly showered and presented ourselves in the dining room at quarter to 8. This is when we met the hotel owner, very energetic and absolutely gorgeous-looking woman. The majority of the guests were from Quebec and were staying at this hotel regularly. The owner knew every guest by name and remembered what each of them needs. She was moving graciously between tables, easily switching from French to English, joking and answering questions. She would chat with a guest, staying fully aware of what the other guests were up to. It was a real pleasure to watch this well-spoken, polite, very knowledgeable and beautiful woman at work.

Laiterie Charlevoix

Once we were done with our breakfast we set GPS for our first destination of the day. Quebec, for many people, represents France in North America and the expectations for food quality are very high. Let me tell you, you won’t be disappointed. As for us, we came to Quebec with a huge cooler in the trunk, planning to bring home some food samples. First and foremost, we were looking for cheese. We already sampled some of Migneron creations and craved for more.

We decided to stop at the Laiterie Charlevoix boutique. Oh, man… When I see cheese and a lot of it, I go crazy. Someone needs to hold me, otherwise, I will spend all my money on cheese.

We came very early and I believe we were the first customers of the day. And, again, we were lucky and found an English-speaking person in the store. We chatted about cheese, the food you can make with cheese and more cheese.

The Laiterie Charlevoix was founded in 1948 and is still owned by the same family.

Surprisingly, we discovered that we can also buy their cheese in Ontario at Saint Jacob’s Market. However, we and our huge cooler were already there and we started filling it with delicious samples. Then, we rewarded ourselves with ice-cream for the well-spent money.

After the fromagerie, we punched in the next destination’s address in the GPS and got back on the road. When, by accident, we missed our turn and we decided not to go back. We just kept driving along the route 381.

As we were getting higher the road was getting steeper gradually unfolding stunning views after every turn.

And we wanted to see more and more, and we kept going up and up, until we reached the spot at Grands-Jardins National Park where we could stop.

We got out of the car and this is when it hit us – the power of indescribable beauty. When you can feel the world with all your five senses. The smell of mountain air, the sound of the forest, the magnificent mountain view, the rocky soil under your feet and the taste of freshness in your mouth unite in one harmonious, powerful, mind-blowing and orgasmic symphony.

We are not outdoor people, not at all. A couple gulps of fresh air, a few pictures and we are good to go. We started driving back down the route 381.

Here, in Charlevoix, for the first time, we saw the runaway truck ramps to help vehicles having braking problems to stop safely.

It’s a long gravel-filled lane connected to a steep downhill grade section of the main road. It helps an operator stop the vehicle without a violent crash.

At this point, we realized how dangerous these roads can be especially in the winter.

Tomato wine. Wait — what?

When we talk about wine most of the time it would be about grape wine. Apple wines, sweet dessert wines made of cherries, raspberries, gooseberries or black currant we accept and understand as well. But when we heard about tomato wine for the first time the first time, well… I will be honest, we didn’t believe that such wine can be good. But we were curious and decided to visit Omerto Boutique at 328 Rang Saint Antoine.

There we were greeted by the president of Domaine de la Vallee du Bras, Pascal Miche. He apologised that his English was not very good and we apologised that we don’t speak French at all. This is how our conversation started.

In 1938, Pascal’s great-grandfather, Omer Miche, who lived in Belgium, created his first tomato wine. Over the years, he improved the recipe and method of production. This family recipe was kept secret for four generations. It took about ten years for Pascal to develop the unique tomato wine we are able to enjoy today.

He uses the varieties of tomatoes specifically adapted to the climate of Baie-Saint-Paul. It’s an absolutely delicious aperitif wine. Our favourite is the one which is aged in cherry and chestnut barrels. And, surprisingly, it doesn’t taste like a tomato at all. We added a few samples of this great product to our collection.

St. Lawrence River

We’ve been already for more than 5 hours on the road and we thought it would be nice to get out of the car. We decided to drive closer to St Lawrence river hoping to find some park where we could walk. On our way, I continued taking pictures and making videos. An interesting thing we noticed — the majority of houses there do not have fenced backyards. Of course, why would you build a fence if your backyard overlooks beautiful mountains or the gorgeous St Lawerence river or both? I wouldn’t either.

I didn’t know that St. Lawerence is tidal in this area.  When we arrived at the river bank the water was gone and people were enjoying walking on the wet, but warm, sandy beach. We decided to follow the crowd.

We started walking away from the shore trying to get closer to the water. That was a really pleasant walk. The sand was smooth, time to time we would walk through the puddles of the warm water.

As we were getting closer to the ‘big water’ the sand became colder. We actually measured that the water at this time was as far as two kilometres from the shore.

Absolutely amazing view! The water seemed to be boiling. Here, you can just imagine the strength of the invisible force which is able to control this huge mass of water.

La Chocolaterie du Village

Every time when I think or say “chocolate” my brain immediately makes me feel this flavourful, fragrant, silky smooth substance melting in my mouth. God bless whomever invented this lovely product made of cocoa. I do not know any other dessert people would talk, write or joke about as much as chocolate. Many of us developed very complicated relationships with chocolate. First, we eat it and fall in love. Then we feel guilty and start hating it and try breaking away from it. But later we give up, forgive everything and come back.  No matter what, in my life, there always will be time and place for a piece of chocolate. That’s why there was no question if we should visit La Chocolaterie du Village.

We already had our late lunch/dinner and were ready for dessert. This place was a perfect choice. Their ice cream is absolutely delicious. The chocolate is a bit pricey, but very good.

We loaded quite a few samples into our cooler – no regrets we loved all of them. Remember – if anyone tells you to stop eating so much chocolate, stop talking to them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

On this sweet note, if you don’t mind,  I will finish the story about our second day in Quebec.

Send Your Home Value Skyrocketing With These Improvement Tips

If you want to embark on do-it-yourself home improvement projects, you need to read this article. All the tips and tricks you need will be found below. Keep reading to find out more.

For a beautiful addition to your home, consider turning two windows that are close together into sliding glass or french doors. With glass doors, you are allowing the light to come in as well as the beauty of the world outside your door. Being able to look out at nature while having your first cup of coffee will make the investment worthwhile.

When it comes to home improvement, be sure to keep in mind the age of your household members as well as health status. This is important if stairs are unmanageable or if there is a potential need for handicapped facilities in the bathrooms. Depending on the modifications, you may end up increasing the value of your home.

Opt to do your laundry every time your hamper fills up, instead of waiting for your dirty laundry to pile for a week. Throwing your laundry in the washing machine every two days cuts down the amount of time you need to spend folding, waiting for the washing machine and the dryer and puts less strain on your machine.

If you have a lot of cords hanging out of your entertainment stands then you know what a pain and unsightly view cords can be. You can easily clean up your mess by using Velcro tape, which is widely available, at most stores for about $5. Roll up the unused portions of your cord and hold them together with the Velcro tape for a clean and tidy look.

It is important to use the highest quality supplies and tools when doing a home improvement project. It may seem more costly at first, but you will be happy you made the choice when the tools are still working at the end of your project. In general, quality products tend to have a longer life and can better go through wear and tear. Tools, especially, can be costly and you do not want to need replacements often.

When remodeling your kitchen or bath it may be wise not to do it yourself. These projects are extensive, time consuming, and much more involved than other home improvement projects. Often times it will actually save you money to hire a handy man or other licensed professional rather than take on these potentially monumental endeavors yourself.

Copper is by far the most attractive building material for thieves, so exercise care when installing copper pipe and wiring. Whenever possible these installations should not be done until the house, ideally the entire property, can be protected by lock and key. Thieves are talented at stripping copper from a building site very quickly. Protect your copper supplies, so you don’t wind up buying it twice.

If this article has accomplished its goals, you’ve been able to pick up some new information that you’ll find very handy when you start doing your own home improvements. Using these tips and ideas, come up with strategies for your home improvement, and get to work! If this is something that you can do, then the results will satisfy you.…

NBA Finals 2021

NBA Finals 2021: Deandre Ayton joins select group of No. 1 picks to make NBA Finals appearance in postseason debut

Deandre Ayton has become one of the stories of the 2021 postseason, with the 22-year-old emerging as a big game player in his debut playoff run.

Averaging 16.2 points and 11.8 rebounds in 16 games, Ayton has seen an increase in both catagories from the regular season while also hitting an incredible 70.6 percent of his 10.6 shot attempts per game. Among players that have attempted at least 100 shots during the playoffs, Ayton ranks No. 1 for field goal percentage.

Along with teammates Devin Booker and Mikal Bridges, the Suns have ridden the significnat success of their rising stars to the franchise's first NBA Finals since 1993.

The 2018 No.1 overall pick provided one of the highlights of the playoffs, finishing this wild lob with under a second remaining in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

The 2021 Finals produce an interesting wrinkle, with Jae Crowder the lone player to have reached the stage, with all other rostered players making their Finals debut.

As a former overall pick, the achievement is rare, as he becomes just the third No. 1 overall pick in the last 30 years to reach the Finals in his first playoff appearance, joining Kyrie Irving and Kenyon Martin.

Let's take a look back at how those two fared, while also remembering two legends of the game that made their postseason mark early in their career.

Kyrie Irving 2015

Drafted with the No. 1 pick in the 2011 Draft, Kyrie Irving and the Cleveland Cavaliers suffered through multiple losing season until the return of LeBron James.

With James back on deck, the Cavaliers defeated Brooklyn and Chicago in six games before sweeping the Atlanta Hawks on their way to the NBA Finals.

It wasn't the dream ending for Cleveland or Irving, with the Golden State Warriors winning in six, with Irving appearing in Game 1 before missing the rest of the series with a knee injury.

Of course, Irving would get his revenge 12 months later, hitting one of the biggest shots in NBA history as the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors in seven to claim a historic Championship.

Kenyon Martin 2002

Kenyon Martin avoided the usual suffering a No. 1 pick goes through on a poor team, reaching the NBA Finals in just his second season.

Defeating the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, Martin led the Nets in scoring with 16 points in the series clinching Game 6.

Ultimately the Nets would be swept by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in the NBA Finals, with the franchise yet to return to the NBA's biggest stage.

Martin averaged 16.8 points and 5.9 rebounds across 20 appearances in his debut run.

Shaquille O'Neal 1995 and Tim Duncan 1999

Two modern day greats fell just short of this rare achievement, with both Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan reaching the Finals in their second season after postseason runs in their rookie year.

O'Neal and the highlight reel Orlando Magic took advantage of Michael Jordan's absence for much of the season to finish with the No. 1 seed. The Magic would eliminate Jordan and the Bulls in the second round, eventually advancing to the NBA Finals and falling to the Houston Rockets in a sweep.

Duncan and the Spurs were utterly dominant during their championship run, rattling off a 15-2 record including a 4-1 series win over the New York Knicks in the finals.

Averaging 20.7 points and 9.0 rebounds in the postseason, Duncan claimed his first of four rings as the San Antonio dynasty began.

Top 10 Tips for Speakers #3 – Should I Memorize, Extemporize or Localize?

Presentation coaches are often asked “Should I try to memorize a speech, or should I just go with an outline?”

The answer, I am afraid, is “that depends”.

If you are delivering a speech in a public speaking competition, for example, you might want to memorize it – so that you get the gestures, the phrases, the syntax and and flow exactly right.

How do you do that? Well, practice, practice practice is the answer.

You need to write your speech, and polish it, and work out exactly what words and phrases and analogies and similes you will use.

And then you need to practice it, block by block.

Memorize the first couple of paragraphs.

And then the next couple.

And then add some more.

And memorize what comes up after each paragraph.

And then practice again.

And again. And again.

When I was regularly memorizing speeches word-for-word, I would find that it took perhaps 50 to 100 times to actually memorize speeches ‘by rote’.

It was time consuming, and boring for my family 🙂

But it meant that every word, every gesture, was exactly as it should be.

But not every presentation needs to be word-perfect.

Many – even most – just need you to get across the key ideas.

For that, an outline and a few short notes may be more than enough.

In fact, for many years, that’s been my preferred approach.

I work out roughly what I want to say, and reduce that to perhaps six key phrases or even words – which can be held in one hand (or even written ON one hand.)

I then glance at each key word, and launch into the idea that is referred to by that key.

I speak on that idea or concept until I have said what I want to say, and then I move on.

It still requires me to work out what I want to say – but I don’t need to memorize every word, every line – merely to memorize the concepts that I want to explain.

But there’s another way to deal with this – “The Memory Palace” – or Method of Loci, as it was described by ancient Roman orators like Cicero.

It involves picturing something familiar – like the entry to your home – and associating key parts of your speech with places and features.

An example might be seeing the door (your ‘opening’ sentences), and then inserting the key (your “key” argument) before opening up into the foyer (expanding that argument).

You might then see your favorite chair (where you invite the audience to sit a while and take in your words) – before you notice a messy side-table (things that appear to contradict your argument)

You clean it up (explain away the apparent contradictions)  and offer your audience a drink (invite them to share your conclusion) before offering them some gifts (your take-home message) and then showing them to door (concluding your speech.)

So, that’s the Memory Palace – it’s LIKE memorizing your speech – but it’s not as strict. You are extemporizing within the overall framework of your speech.

Which should YOU use?

Which works best? Memorizing, extemporizing, or localizing? Why not give them all a try, and see what works best for you!

Tomorrow’s tip: Why did (or should) you agree to speak?

2 thoughts on “Top 10 Tips for Speakers #3 – Should I Memorize, Extemporize or Localize?

  1. Graham I cannot use the memorise method theses days’ so I usually extemporise! However I love the ‘walk through my house’ – the localize – method, what a great idea!

Ozone Steam Sauna

Oxygen is the most important nutrient for the body and your wellness. The body can survive weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes with oxygen. Every cell of the body requires a continuous supply to generate energy, detoxify the body, whether by poor posture and breathing, deoxygenated water and refined foods, smoking, lack of exercise, environmental pollution or exposure to carbon monoxide, reduces the optimal performance of these essential cellular functions.

As a lack of sufficient oxygen is a major cause of poor health, leading to conditions such as arthritis, low immunity, constant tiredness, cancer, regular colds and flu’s, hay fever, migraine, low vitality etc.. when the body is flooded with an activated form of oxygen, namely ozone, people consistently report that these conditions as well as their general health, wellbeing and energy levels dramatically improve.

Ozone (O3) is activated oxygen (O2) and in a short period of time the O3 molecule will revert back to oxygen. During this short half life cycle, the O3 molecule can therefore be utilized for sanitation and sterilization purposes. Ozone inactivates viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus and protozoa.

Ozone is an oxidant and has been used in medical and naturopathic medicine since the 1870’s. Because of its short life and its tremendous oxidizing capabilities. It can be used in situations where residual chemicals are undesirable.

Ozone will work 3000 times faster and is 2.5 times stronger than chlorine.

In water purification it is used to disinfect the water, remove algae, oxidize iron and manganese and remove color and odor.

In air treatment, it is used to eliminate odors, sterilize the air and ducting and remove and neutralize pollutants such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide and noxious gases. It will also prevent cross contamination of airborne diseases such as flu and tuberculosis.

the medical field ozone therapy machines (specifically ozone capsules, ozone therapy cabinets, ozone saunas) are used to purify and oxygenate blood through transdermal ozone therapy to compliment normal procedures, to improve the immune system, in cancer treatment, diabetes, and for treating wounds, ulcers and skin ailments. Ozone sauna therapy is also effective for maintaining normal health and wellness.

There are thousands of references documented in the medical literature on the safe use of medical ozone therapy from doctors and professionals around the world; although at high levels in the air ozone can be harmful. Therefore it is important not to breathe large amounts of the ozone into your lungs. For all our customers who use our ozone cabinet we make sure to provide very safe usage.

Healing Crisis

As the ozone steam sauna treatment begins to work in the body you may experience a detoxification process known as the “Healing Crisis”. The detoxification may take the form of a headache, nausea, lack of energy, runny nose etc. After this brief period you will feel more energetic with a higher level of vitality and wellbeing than you have felt in years. Just keep on with the sessions and your health and wellness will improve.

Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - Mega Spoiler Report From the Cave of Cool

Calvin watches Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus in real time.

The is a helicopter over the worse CGI ice break up ever. And who is ever going to believe that Debbie Gibson can control a sub…well she IS electric youth (see what I did there?)

AAAAAAAAAAAA there is that tentacle bastard. GIANT OCTOPUS!!!! He attacked and brought down the entire drilling rig…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…That’s what you get for releasing him from the prehistoric ice. People with sonar devices on the underwater ice shelf just don’t think. Would have liked to have seen more of him than just a fleeting glimpse. I understand the need to increase story tension but you got CGI - you can make anything these days and it would have been cool to see the entire rig get pulled to the bottom of the sea.

Plane in a storm. This can’t be good. Guys says he is getting married in two days. He’s dead…FUCK ME…SHARK THE SIZE OF A PLANE COLLIDES WITH PLANE OVER OCEAN- no survivors. No why would the shark dive out of the water at the plane? Its not like he’s a kitten and the plane is a yarn ball. Same complaint…show me more like the shark biting the plane in half as it sinks.

Bad Irish accent on Debbie’s old mentor. Waiting for him to complain about someone stealing his lucky charms. Mega Shark prick is Megladon….he’s got some prehistoric street cred as largest shark ever.

Even a destroyer can’t kill that shark. You guys are asking to die now. Okay when the Captain keeps saying “Radio Washington - Target Destroyed!” and guy on sonar is saying.. “Sir, target NOT destroyed” then you know you are fucked. Bye bye destroyer.

Theme phrase “IT RISES!”

Lorenzo Lamas as bad ass military point man but he only pretends to be a dick.

OOOO Katrina joke…topical.

Japanese oceanographer gets first crack and Debbie. Now he has to die of course after screwing her in a supply closet. Scientists. Go figure. Well that is one way to clear the mind for research. And for a couple of supposedly brilliant people, to NOT come up with a pheromone based lure for the super sea monsters before doing the sexy is kind of dumb.

Making the jet fly too low to catch squid on radar mean scratch one plane. And there we have it…SWAT!

A lot of the shots of Debbie create shadows on her nose that distract me and now require her to have something down about it Ashley Simpson style. Not that she can’t look pretty in some photographs.. it’s the non posed ones that don’t help her.

Don’t tell her that you are proud of her Professor cause now YOU are dead.

OF COURSE the claw on the submersible would malfunction when dropping the lure so that they would be in danger from Mega Shark. You say the big fish is swimming as fast as a jet and you try to hit him with depth charges. Who is running that navy? Oh look, Captain Obvious was wrong again. Declare the target destroyed and have him bite your ship in half. Somebody is going to that weather station in Alaska for his next tour of duty

Shark bites Golden Gate bridge in half. EVERYONE is getting transferred to that same Arctic station.

She is the smartest girl in the room again. Getting the two giant sea creatures to fight each other to eliminate them both is actually a good idea.

“Only a hate stronger than their own survival instincts could force such a result” (of being frozen in the ice in mid combat) - best line of the movie.

I don’t think Lorenzo Lamas would be put in charge of the whole ‘get rid of the creatures for the safety of the world’ with his racist attitudes.

K when Japanese oceanographer quotes Julius Caesar AND schtuped Debbie then you know he is dead. SOOOOOO dead.

Do you really steer a submarine with a video game joystick. And of course the kid trained to drive a sub will have a convenient breakdown JUST in time for Debbie to take the controls and save them all. Just like it would happen in real life. Since WHEN does the guy driving the sub have a sidearm…WTF?

Rubber octopus fucks up rubber shark till rubber shark bites tentacles.

Debbie and Lorenzo in mini sub - need saving by Japanese boyfriend so now he can die. That octopus effect is really, really bad. I mean really bad. I could film a better scene during my tub. You got to love how during the final climactic battle that you get the shaky camera work and reaction shops from inside the mini-sub. Its like a bad Star Trek episode. Close your mouth Debbie. We get it. You are shocked by what you are looking at.

HEY, Japanese guy lived…go figure.

And down to the bottom of the ocean we go until the sequel when we learned that both the octopus and the shark were females and pregnant and their babies will continue the fight.

Story end with new creature for our ‘team’ to chase after…next season on Fox.

She DOES the final theme song. I guess that means getting your money’s worth.

Final Verdict - no worse than any other campy monster movie I have seen. On par with the Komodo dragon one or the Hoff and his giant snake movie and actually better than most Sci Fi Network creature features.

Hilarious. Now I must see it. When I first heard about it, I thought: Snakes on a plane, but an unlimited plane...underwater. And that didn't make sense, so I just went with: why isn't this premiering on SciFi? Looks like I shan't be disappointed.

Traveling for work I find myself in all sorts of social dynamics on any given day. Everyone is focused on their own stuff and we often feel crazy busy to boot. I recognize that while not everyone is going to be your best friend – perhaps nothing more than an acquaintance with whom you have a brief encounter – I do wonder, how do I, you, we want “show up in the world?” Given my profession, I always take note of those who stand out for being polite, or going the extra mile for someone they don’t know. But I am also astounded at how few people fall into this category. If it is the little things that mean a lot, how can we all just do a little more, each day? Doing so might just make a BIG difference in the way you see the world, and the way the world sees you.

I hope to be thoughtful, kind, colorful, funny, warm, comfortable and connected. Not just to the internet. Human connections give us purpose, and can often mean more than 100 “likes” in the cyber world. Some simple suggestions to experience better social connections with those around you:

Say “good morning” (or afternoon, evening, night). If our only exchange with those around us is to acknowledge them and make eye contact, that’s pretty good. Not to mention it shows you are a positive, social and warm human being. Or just simply say “hi”.

Be as helpful as possible…as often as possible. I know, I know, it’s hard. But is it really? Offer someone your seat, or just scoot over and make room, hold open the door, lend a hand, give others your attention, clean up after yourself (and others), smile, let others go ahead of you in line, donate your time. Or just simply make an effort to let people know you care.

Don’t just ‘accept’ or ‘respect’ our differences – appreciate them. If everyone thought the same, believed the same and acted the same, what a boring world this would be. As intellectuals, we are allowed to disagree. In fact, the conversations are much more interesting when we do! It demonstrates great strength of character to embrace our differences and realize that we can learn from one other, we can help one another and together our lives can be more enriched. We may disagree, but we don’t have to be disagreeable. While you are at it, stand up for others. If you see an injustice, speak up. Tell others you appreciate them and do more than make an effort – include everyone.

I recently had the opportunity to spend a few days in New York City. I found it exhilarating to hear all the different languages being spoken, and to experience the sights, sounds and smells of so many different cultures mixed together on one tiny, crowded island. It is truly a celebration of what makes this country great. If you haven’t experienced it for yourself, make a weekend of it – and eat at Jing Fong Dim Sum in Chinatown – it’s a whole different world.

Speaking of NYC. Please Say “sorry, excuse me, may I please, pardon” (not all at the same time) and do it with a smile. When we omit the smile it somehow loses all effectiveness and can be perceived as aggressive. These simple, small words, phrases and gestures can often be the true mark of someone’s character. Studies show that it is actually physically easier to smile than it is to frown and that doing so makes you better looking too. Win, win.

Life is short. Be nice.

Baby Hygiene: Why It’s Important And How To Achieve It

Image by Flickr

Bringing your newborn baby to his or her new home for the first time is a wonderful experience that every parent will remember for the rest of their lives. We try as hard as we can to make sure our home is ready and perfect for them. We agonize over choosing their crib, decorating their room and making sure that they have toys and cuddly companions so that they will never be bored or lonely. This is all well and good, but over time as we become more tired and stressed (and sleep deprived), our guards can lower and insidious invaders can creep into your home.

These invaders can seriously compromise your children’s health and it’s vital that parents keep them at bay at all costs. Of course these invaders are bacteria. Newborn babies are highly vulnerable to a range of neonatal infections keeping your home and baby hygienic is the best way to combat them. A clean and hygienic home is not only a safe place for your child while their immune system develops, it’s also a nicer place for parents to spend time in too.

Change diapers regularly and dispose of them properly

New parents often think nothing of throwing a diaper in the trash, but over time they can accumulate, resulting not only in an extremely unsanitary garbage can, but an unpleasant odor that no sane parent would want to spend time in. A good quality diaper pail will keep both the smell and harmful bacteria at bay. Check out for more information. Being a new parents is a stressful enterprise as it is and any measure that can help them achieve a semblance of normality (such as a kitchen that doesn’t smell of baby poop) is a blessing.

Beware… They put EVERYTHING in their mouths

As a child scoots along on all fours they experience the world not only by looking and listening, but by touch and taste. Unfortunately, they haven’t yet learned what should go in their mouths and what shouldn’t. Scan your home for anything that could potentially become an unofficial teething ring and sanitize it with child friendly anti-bacterial surface wipes.

Sterilize, sterilize, sterilize

The two second rule doesn’t apply to babies. While an adult may think nothing of popping a recently dropped candy bar into their mouths, anything that goes in baby’s mouth must be sterilized. Cleaning and sterilizing bottles is a never ending battle for new parents so do what you can to make the process quicker and easier. A sterilizing kit like the Milton Combi Sterilizer can be used to completely sterilize bottles (and any toys that might make their way into baby’s mouth) in just a couple of minutes in the microwave.

When cleaning baby, blitz those areas where bacteria lurk

As important as it is to keep a hygienic household, it’s equally important to keep your baby herself clean. When cleaning your baby it’s important to pay special attention to those hard to reach areas where bacteria can lurk. Clean gently under the finger and toenails and in those delicate little ears. Make sure that baby’s nose is unclogged and eyes are wiped with a moist towel or wet wipe regularly to prevent mucus buildup.

Just a little vigilance will make sure that your baby will be safe, happy and hygienic while you have some much needed peace of mind.

‘Eye’ on Washington

Keep an eye on Washington this week as the American Optometric Association (AOA) – an advocacy group that spends nearly $2 million a year lobbying on the federal level alone – is flying thousands of its representatives to Washington to pressure lawmakers into backing their crony legislation.

The AOA is actively looking for Members of Congress to re-introduce their crony legislation, the Contact Lens Consumer Health Protection Act (CLCHPA). This bill is the first step in the AOA plan to completely ban third-party lens sellers, such as Walmart, Costco, and a multitude of online sellers. This is cronyism run amok. If passed, CLCHPA will give eye-care specialists the unlimited power to veto prospective third-party transactions. Current law provides a window for specialists to act. However, CLCHPA will give the AOA the control to pocket-veto transactions by simply refusing to respond to the patient’s request.

The ‘eye and mighty’ AOA is not seeing things straight when it comes to banning their competition. The Republican-controlled Congress can’t let this crony eyesore be pushed through on their watch.

Trump action on fetal tissue research affects California

Cell research in a laboratory. (Photo: SBshot87, via Shutterstock)

President Trump has sharply cut back on federal funding for fetal tissue research in a move denounced as both politically motivated and destructive of the hopes of millions of Americans suffering from life-threatening diseases.

The action on Wednesday has long been sought by anti-abortion activists who say tax dollars should not go to create a “marketplace for aborted baby parts.”

Trump’s move mmediately cost UC San Francisco a $2 million grant aimed at new therapies for HIV. It also drew reaction from California’s $3 billion stem cell agency.

Asked for a comment, Kevin McCormack, senior director of communications, said the Trump action will not have any impact on the agency. He said in an email,  “Because our money comes from California this does not affect any project we fund or our ability to fund any projects.”

Trump’s action echoes a situation that played a major role in the ballot initiative campaign of 2004 that created the stem cell agency, known formally as the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM).

In one of their key arguments, backers of the stem cell measure said it was needed because of then President Bush’s restrictions on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research.

Today’s action by Trump is virtually certain to be cited as justification for an additional $5 billion for the agency, which will run out of money for new awards around the end of this year. CIRM supporters expect to mount another ballot initiative in November 2020.

The scope of Trump’s move was described by the New York Times,

“As of last year, the N.I.H. spent about $100 million of its $37 billion annual budget on research projects iknvolving fetal tissue, the Times reported. “The tissue is used to test drugs, develop vaccines and study cancer, AIDS, Parkinson’s disease, birth defects, blindness and other disorders. For much of that work, scientists say there is no substitute for fetal tissue.”

Sam Hawgood, chancellor of UC San Francisco and a former member of CIRM’s governing board, said in a statement that the decision was “politically motivated, shortsighted and not based on sound science.”

Lawrence O. Gostin, a professor specializing in public health law at Georgetown University, told the New York Times that the federal action “is akin to a ban on hope for millions of Americans suffering from life-threatening and debilitating diseases.”

Scientist Jeanne Loring, who is with Scripps Research and Aspen Neuroscience in the San Diego area, said in response to a query:

“Fetal brain tissue transplants containing immature dopamine neurons laid the groundwork for the Parkinson’s disease neuron replacement therapy we are developing now  The outcomes were inconsistent, but some patients recovered from the disease. Without that pioneering work in the 1990s, I wouldn’t be so confident about the potential of our planned therapy using dopamine neurons derived from Parkinson’s patients’ own induced pluripotent stem cells.

“This is one specific instance of how fetal tissue profoundly changed our view of degenerative disease.  I think that going forward, most of the regenerative therapies will be based on pluripotent stem cells, which weren’t available 30 years ago. But I don’t like to rule out the possibility that there is still pioneering work like this to be done, and so I hope that some researchers will not lose access to fetal tissue for groundbreaking medical research.”

Editor’s Note:David Jensen is a retired newsman who has followed the affairs of the $3 billion California stem cell agency since 2005 via his blog, the California Stem Cell Report,where this story first appeared. He has published more than 4,000 items on California stem cell matters.

How To Get a Great Deal On Used Cars in Edmonton

How To Get a Great Deal On Used Cars in Edmonton

The best way to get a great deal on used cars in Edmonton is to be an informed shopper. Learn how to spot a deal, (and how to spot a rip off), by reading this.

Keyword(s): used cars in Edmonton

Is it time for you to buy a car? Buying used cars in Edmonton is a great option. You lose a significant part of your investment just driving off the lot with a new car.

With the popularity of leasing new cars, there is now an army of used cars that are almost new. Sometimes they even still have some warranty left. You get a great new (used) car for a lot less money.

How should you go about buying used cars in Edmonton? Here are a few tips to help you get a good deal and avoid getting ripped off.

Take Your Time

When looking for used cars in Edmonton, it's important to remember to take your time. This is perhaps the number one way to avoid getting ripped off.

Decide what kind of car you want when you're not at the dealer. When you do go to look, don't let the salesperson sidetrack you.

You came to look at and buy a certain kind of vehicle. Don't let them talk you into an impulse buy that is not what you had in mind.

Do Your Research

Fully 83% of buyers do some online research before buying. You should be one of those savvy buyers if you're looking at used cars in Edmonton.

The Internet is a rich source of good car-buying information. Make sure you're visiting reputable sites like ours. The Internet is also full of bad information.

Find out the going rate for the type of car you want to buy. From that information develop an idea of how much you can expect/be willing to spend.

Set both a floor and ceiling rate for yourself. The floor should be around 5-10% less than the average price you're finding. The ceiling is your own personal limit. This would be how much you are willing/able to spend.

Know What to Ask

Be sure to take the time to jot down a few important questions before going to the dealer. Writing it down will keep this information in front of you. This will help you to avoid forgetting to ask these questions if the salesman gets you excited. Make sure you keep it handy and refer to it.

Good questions to ask include:

  • How much can I expect in running costs?
  • Has the car ever been in an accident?
  • Is there a warranty?
  • What does the warranty cover?
  • Why is it for sale?

As you do your research you may find some more relevant questions. You may even find some specific to the type of vehicle you are looking to buy. Keep all this information handy as you look around.

Be Firm About Budget

Car salespeople are notorious for getting more money out of their customers. They work to get people excited about a flashy option that is a little outside of their budget. A lot of times, it works. People end up with a cool car, but a financial headache.

Don't be one of those people.

Remember your floor rate? This is where that research comes in handy. Tell the salesman your floor rate, but don't ever give out your ceiling.

You can even be up front and tell them that you've done your research. You already know the going rate and cars in that price range are the only ones that interest you.

Most salespeople will still try to distract you with a flashier option. After all, their livelihood depends on how much they can sell a car for. Be polite but firm about what you want to see and don't let them sway you.

Be careful when discussing monthly payments with a salesperson. A common sales technique is to ask what you can afford monthly and your ceiling rate. They then use that information to "hide" what you actually end up paying for the car.

Remember, don't give out your ceiling rate. If you do need to talk monthly payments, pay close attention to the actual final price of the car.

Do a Test Drive

We don't recommend ever buying a car without doing a test drive. There is so much you can learn from it!

Keep an eye out for obvious things like signs of damage, weird engine noises, etc. Does it smell funny? Or can you smell gas or oil burning?

Check all the lights and switch on the heater and air conditioning too. How are the brakes? Do they feel good and not make squeaking noises?

But don't use the test drive for only checking the vehicle's function. Check it's comfort too. Every vehicle is a little bit different. You will find some vehicles are downright uncomfortable for you to drive.

Do you have to duck your head to enter? You can bet you'll be banging it all the time. What about legroom and headroom inside the vehicle? How's the back support?

Can you see out of the windows without too much trouble? If you have to move around a lot that will get old on long trips and could be dangerous.

Have a Trusted Mechanic Look At It

If your brother-in-law or uncle is a great mechanic, ask him to come along while you shop. It is always great to get the advice of a trusted mechanic when buying a car.

Not everybody is lucky enough to have a family member that is a mechanic. That's okay, there are still options for you.

Once you have your sights set on a car you can call an outside mechanic to come in and review it. This service isn't too expensive and is worth it for the peace of mind. You don't want to spend a lot of money on a used car, only to find out something's wrong!

DEFRA waste consultations (UK)

On 18th February, DEFRA (the UK Environment Ministry) opened up a series of consultations on proposals to change the way waste is managed –

(1) reforming the UK packaging producer responsibility system – the proposals will affect producers of packaging, and plastic packaging, at all stages of the chain – here.

(2) introducing a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland – the Scottish Government had launched a consultation for distinct elements of a DRS, this consultation closed on 25 September 2018 – the proposals relate to drinks containers – here.

(3) introducing a plastic packaging tax – this was announced at the 2018 Budget, to apply from April 2022 on manufactured and imported plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled content – here.

Changes at the UK border (UK Brexit)

The Partnership Pack setting out the changes that will happen at the UK border issued (by the UK) in October 2018, is updated today (26th February 2019). This is here.

Note : this Pack sets out the changes that will occur at the UK border if there is No Deal, and covers services as well as goods. Please remember traders must have an EORI number (goods).

An important issue that has emerged is the availability of ISPM 15 wooden pallets (for goods exports to the EU). The EU has strict phytosanitary rules regarding third country pallets – here.

Publication of the UK import tariffs (on goods imported into the UK, in a situation of No Deal) is expected shortly. I will update this Blog post here with the link, when it is available.

April 18 (UK & EU Brexit)

I am being asked what happens after 29 March. I post as the documents are issued, the various contingency proposals that are being prepared.

29 March is the exit date in enacted UK law (the Withdrawal Act) and the EU having accepted article 50 notification, the 29 March is the end of the two years provisioned by article 50.

I posted before that the Withdrawal Agreement (and associated Political Declaration) awaits ratification by the UK and the EU Parliaments.

In the event that the Agreement is unratified on 29 March (no deal, or disorderly Brexit, or unnegotiated Brexit) then the contingency arrangements provisioned by draft and enacted laws in the UK, the EU and in various EU member states, will kick in.

A draft EU contingency regulation (2019 EU Budget) sets 18 April as the date by which the UK should have taken action (as respects the 2019 EU Budget).

The EU contingency regulations (draft) are – here.

Please continue to follow this Blog.

Ireland Omnibus Bill (Ireland Brexit)

UPDATE (3) : the Bill is now law and the Irish statute book is now ready for Brexit on 29th March 2019

UPDATE (2) : the Bill has passed the Dail and is now in the Seanad (the second Chamber)

UPDATE : the Bill is here.

Ireland publishes this morning its 15 part Omnibus Brexit Bill (I posted about this Bill coming down the line before). The Irish papers all carry reports of this – the Irish Times report is here.

The island of Ireland is the location of the international land border between the UK and the EU. I am travelling to Ireland again on Sunday, and will spend two weeks in the Borderlands (again).

I will update this Post (the update will not be emailed through, so if you are following this, then check back on the Blog itself), in due course, with a link to the published bill and a summary.

Trade Continuity (UK Brexit)

Disclaimer : this Blog does not focus on trade tariffs and processes per se

The UK Government today (21st Feb 2019) published revised guidance to UK and international businesses that use preferential trade terms under existing agreements between the EU and third countries to advise them about a scenario in which the UK leaves the EU without a Withdrawal Agreement (no deal, or unmanaged Brexit).

While some continuity agreements are likely to be concluded by exit day, the DIT Secretary Statement (of today) asserts it is the duty of government to produce a highly cautious list of those that both may and will not be in place in order that businesses and individuals ensure that they are prepared for every eventuality.

A list of the agreements and guidance of what to do in no deal is here.

The DIT Secretary statement continues –

Scope of the Trade Continuity programme

The Government is seeking continuity for existing EU trade agreements in which the UK participates as a member of the EU. These agreements constitute around 11% of our trade. These agreements also cover a wide variety of relationships, including:

• Free Trade Agreements (FTAs);

• Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with developing nations;

• Association Agreements, which cover broader economic and political cooperation;

• Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) and;

• Trade agreements with countries that are closely aligned with the EU

Businesses in the UK and partner countries are eligible for a range of preferential market access opportunities under the terms of these agreements. These can include, but are not limited to:

• preferential duties for goods, including reductions in import tariff rates and quotas for reduced or nil rates of payable duties;

• quotas for the import of goods with more relaxed rules of origin requirements;

• enhanced market access for service providers;

• protection from discrimination in public procurement opportunities across a range of sectors;

• allowing parties to mutually recognise conformity assessment procedures;

• the ability to complete mandatory inspections and tests on products close to the place of production; and

• common standards on intellectual property.

Progress Update

To date, the UK has signed trade agreements with Switzerland, Chile, the Faroe Islands, members of the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) Economic Partnership Agreement, Israel and the Palestinian Authority.

The UK is also close to formal agreement on text with Fiji and Papua New Guinea (Pacific) and arrangements are being made for their signature. It is likely these agreements will be transitioned in time for day one of exit.

The UK has also signed Mutual Recognition Agreements that allow continuity of trade with Australia and New Zealand, and the United States. These MRAs mean that UK exporters can ensure goods are compliant with trading partners’ technical regulations before they depart the UK.

Discussions with other partners continue with the aim of replicating the effects of existing EU agreements as far as possible. The DIT Secretary statement asserts –

We are continuing to engage with those other partner countries to conclude agreements in time for exit day. Particularly intensive discussions are, for instance, happening now with partners such as SACU+M, EEA, Canada and South Korea.

Some agreements that will not be in place for exit day – these are Andorra, Japan, Turkey, and San Marino.

As the statement points out, the UK’s trade relationships are not just determined by trade agreements; the UK also participates in the EU’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP), which allows developing countries, including Least Developed Countries and low to lower-middle income countries to receive preferential access to the UK market. The Government fully intends to continue the existing market access provided by these unilateral preference schemes.

To do so we have taken the necessary powers through the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 to allow us to continue providing non-reciprocal reductions in tariffs to developing countries. Through this, the current beneficiaries of the EU’s GSP will be able to export to the UK after our EU exit on the same terms as at present. We will shortly be laying the necessary secondary legislation in Parliament.

This means that some countries will continue to be eligible for preferential tariff treatment under the UK’s newly established independent trade preferences scheme even if the relevant EU-partner country trade agreement has not yet been transitioned into a UK-partner country agreements.

Details of non-EU countries with whom the UK currently has in place arrangements for preferential trade, including both free trade agreements and unilateral preferences is here.

(status of) Withdrawal Agreement & Political Declaration (EU-UK FTA)

UPDATE : these documents failed this evening (12th March 2019) at the second time of asking for ratification by the UK Parliament.

The EU has now published (in the Official Journal) both the Withdrawal Agreement and the Political Declaration – here.

Accompanying this is an EU Council Decision – here.

A couple of points to make :

(1) ratification of the Withdrawal Agreement (the “deal”) is required by both the UK and the EU Parliaments,

(2) the Political Declaration is a non-binding legal statement of intent, that may form the basis for the EU-UK FTA,

(3) the Withdrawal Agreement (if ratified) provides for a transition period during which — notwithstanding all consequences of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the Union as regards the United Kingdom’s participation in the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the Union — Union law, including international agreements, will be applicable to and in the United Kingdom.

The Commission, on behalf of the Union and of Euratom, would therefore notify the other parties to these agreements that the United Kingdom is to be treated as a Member State for the purposes of those agreements during the transition period.

UK Carbon Emissions Tax (UK Brexit)

I posted before about the Carbon Emissions Tax that will be applied in place of EU ETS (the EU carbon trading scheme). The UK Government issued yesterday further instructions on this Carbon Emissions Tax. These instructions are here.

UK Carbon Emissions Tax – imminent key dates

From 30 March 2019, if there is no transition, business emissions from 1 January 2019 onwards will no longer be covered by the EU ETS, so UK businesses will no longer need to surrender allowances for these emissions at the end of each year.

However, all stationary installations currently participating in the EU ETS should continue to comply with the regulations for the monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gases. These regulations will underlie the new UK Carbon Emissions Tax.

The UK Carbon Emissions Tax is provided for in the Finance Act 2019 and will be introduced on 1 April 2019 – the reporting period for stationary operators will be 1 April 2019 to 31 December 2019. The 2019 tax will be set at £16 per tonne. Subject to state aid approval, the scheme to compensate energy-intensive industries for the indirect costs of the EU ETS would remain in place to compensate for the indirect emission costs of the new Carbon Emissions Tax.

The Finance Act 2019 is now added to the Brexit Law List, in Cardinal Environment EHS Legislation Registers & Law Checklists.

Accounts administered by the UK in the EU ETS allowance registry and the Kyoto Protocol registry will be blocked from the point of the UK leaving the EU. Operators wishing to retain access to their allowances after the withdrawal date should consider opening an account in another member state’s registry for this purpose, and should consider the amount of time this is likely to take. Clean Development Mechanism project developers with a UK Letter of Authority will also need a letter of approval from a different Designated National Authority.

Until further notice, the UK government will not issue or auction any 2019 EU ETS allowances. It remains possible for allowances to be purchased through the European Energy Exchange (EEX) auction platform, and on the secondary market. Operators should consider this when planning to meet 2018 compliance obligations. To make sure obligations will not be affected, the government brought forward the 2018 compliance year deadlines, published on 7 March 2018. This states that a company (in EU ETS) needs to report its 2018 emissions by 11 March 2019, and surrender allowances for those emissions by 15 March 2019.

Guidance on this was issued in October 2018 – here.

F-gases and ODS (UK Brexit)

I posted before that the UK will regulate Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases (F-gases) and Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) from 30th March 2019, and that a Technical Notice had been issued on this (the Environment Agency would be the regulator).

New Guidance on Use and Trade is now issued.

The new Brexit Use and Trade Guidance is here. I will add this to the Brexit Law List, in Cardinal Environment EHS Legislation Registers and Law Checklists.

F-gas and ODS are substances used mainly as refrigerants, but also in other products including:

• medical inhalers

• fire extinguishers

• insulation foams

• solvents

• feedstocks for the manufacture of other chemicals

This affects UK companies that :

• produce, supply, import, export or use bulk F-gas or ODS

• manufacture or import equipment containing F-gas or ODS

In addition, the document applies to the service of :

• commercial, industrial and transport refrigeration and air conditioning systems

• other products containing F-gas or ODS

New UK ODS and Fgas regulations transfer most of the requirements of the EU regulations into UK law. These are found in the Brexit Law List.

The UK will continue to:

• restrict ODS

• use the same schedule as the EU to phase down HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons, the most common type of -gas) by 79% by 2030 relative to a 2009 to 2012 baseline.

That means UK F-gas quotas will follow the same phase down steps as the EU:

• limited to 63% of the baseline in 2019 and 2020

• reducing to 45% of the baseline in 2021

Most of the rules for F-gas and ODS will not change. However, the UK will have separate quota systems, and the IT systems UK businesses use to manage quotas and report on use will change.

UK companies will need to comply with EU regulations on products they place on the EU market after exit (since after 30 March, the UK will be a ‘third country’).

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all decided to remain part of a single, UK-wide system if the UK leaves the EU with no deal on 29 March 2019.

The Environment Agency will administer the systems for the whole of the UK.

When the UK leaves the EU, many of the rules for F-gases will not change, including requirements or restrictions:

• to prevent intentional release of F-gases

• to prevent the unintentional release of F-gases during production and use

• to minimise and repair leakages

• to check leaks and keep records

• to use leakage detection systems

• to provide evidence that trifluoromethane produced during the production of F-gases has been destroyed

• to recover F-gases from equipment for recycling, reclamation or destruction

• on placing certain products and equipment on the market

• on sales of F-gases to businesses which do not hold the relevant certificates or attestations

• for product and equipment labelling

• on the use of certain F-gases for magnesium die-casting, vehicle tyres or servicing certain refrigeration equipment

Requirements in the UK will also not change on:

• the individual qualifications and company certifications you need to install, service, maintain, repair, decommission or check for leaks in certain equipment or the recover F-gas

• the content and requirements of training and certification programmes

• the validity of existing certificates and training attestations, including those issued by EU member states both before and after the UK leaves the EU.

When the UK leaves the EU, the rules will stay the same for ODS that a UK company :

• imports

• supplies

• uses

• recovers

• destroys

UK companies will have the same responsibilities to:

• maintain equipment

• control leaks

Rules on how a UK company supplies and uses ODS will remain the same, including for:

• feedstock

• process agents

• destruction

• reclamation

• essential laboratory and analytical use

• halons for certain critical uses

NOTE : the above is written for the situation “post 30 March if there is no deal in place”. This is a short hand. Please keep following the Blog for updates.

Road Haulage (NI Brexit)

UPDATE : the EU Council has now agreed its position on basic road connectivity – here.

There is uncertainty in the haulage industry about what will happen at EU borders if the UK leaves without a Brexit deal next month.

Back in November, the UK Government issued guidance to UK hauliers stating that they “might need ECMT permits to transport goods in the EU and European Economic Area (EEA)” if there is no deal by 29 March.

The European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) permits can be used in a list of 43 countries which have signed up to the international arrangement.

The deadline for 2019 applications expired on 18 January 2019 and on Saturday night, many hauliers were informed on whether or not they were successful. I posted earlier about the deadline.

ECMT permits were over-subscribed and allocated on a points-based system, with higher scores awarded to firms who make a larger number of journeys into EU member states.

It would appear the Department for Transport (DfT) did not take into account journeys to the Republic of Ireland from Northern Ireland operators, whereas English, Scottish or Welsh hauliers were credited with their journeys to the Republic of Ireland.

Just over 1,200 permits were available for the UK as a whole and it is likely only 60-70 were made available to Northern Ireland firms.

In its guidance issued last year, the Government said it expected that Northern Ireland hauliers “will not need an ECMT permit” to drive to or through the Republic of Ireland.

It stated it would not require Republic of Ireland hauliers to have ECMT permits to operate in Northern Ireland.

It added that the UK was seeking a reciprocal agreement from the Irish government to allow Northern Ireland hauliers to travel across the Irish border without a permit.

I posted earlier that the European Commission (in its Contingency Plan) has proposed legislation that would allow UK hauliers basic rights (on a reciprocal basis) to conduct operations to, from and through the EU for a limited period of nine months after exit, if there is no deal.

“The Commission’s proposal will need to be agreed by the Council and European Parliament, and is being considered by both institutions urgently.” (UK Transport Minister, by statement last week)

The minister said he laid legislation before Parliament last week to provide for that access. [this will be included in the Brexit Law List, added to Cardinal Environment EHS Legislation Registers and Law Checklists]

HSA Brexit Guide (Ireland Brexit)

From 30th March 2019, the UK will become a “third country”. The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is the Competent Authority for a range of EU Regulations and Directive in Ireland.

The HSA has now issued a Brexit Overview document – here.

Cardinal Environment will be setting up a Brexit Law List for Ireland EHS Legislation Systems and Checklists, shortly. We will place this and other guidance on that list.

This HSA Brexit Overview reminds :

(1) Products imported from the UK from 30 March 2019 need to be EU compliant.

(2) Irish companies need to know the full supply chain for all their products (for example machinery, chemicals) and how it is linked to the UK or NI, including via distributors.

(3) Unless Irish companies can source their product from another EU supplier, the Irish company may become an EU importer after Brexit, with additional legal responsibility for compliance of the product with EU law. I posted about this recently.

(4) After Brexit, Irish companies will no longer be able to rely on notified bodies based in the UK to undertake 3rd party conformity assessments required under relevant EU law. They will need to source a notified body legally designated to carry out conformity assessments in the EU27.

This applies to Chemicals, Machinery, Transportable Pressure Equipment, and other classes of Industrial Products.

The above also applies in the rest of the EU27, and in the EEA.

Boston Scientific Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Verdict Reduced

gavel_multidistrict_litigation_settlements_trial_transvaginal_mesh_lawsuitsA woman who won a $73 million compensatory package in her transvaginal mesh lawsuit against Boston Scientific will see her compensation reduced. As the lawsuit was heard in Texas, a state with rules that limit punitive damage payments, Boston Scientific will now owe the plaintiff less than half the amount awarded to her by the jury.

According to an article published by Bloomberg, Judge Ken Molberg ruled to reduce the plaintiff’s compensation to $34 million.

The plaintiff in the transvaginal mesh lawsuit is Martha Salazar. She received an implant of the Boston Scientific Obtryx bladder sling. After experiencing serious, relentless pain associated with the Obtryx bladder sling, Salazar underwent four surgical operations to have the device removed.

Though it is unfortunate news to hear of a reduction in a compensatory package that was much deserved on Salazar’s part, the ruling to reduce the amount awarded to a plaintiff is a unique situation having more to do with the state in which the transvaginal mesh lawsuit was heard rather than a question of the plaintiff’s deserving a certain compensatory package.

It is clear from the jury’s verdict that the Obtryx bladder sling had an enormous impact on Salazar’s quality of life, but even so, the state law must be applied to her case, thus lessening her award.

Overall, the team from Carlisle delivers well and we are grateful that this experience has been very good and smooth for us.

Rutherford 33

Carlisle Homes redefined perfection!

From A to Z, Carlisle took care of things for me very well. I had complete peace of mind having them build my first home & I knew I was right! The colour selection process was smooth and the sales rep was very helpful and cheerful. I received a very high class build and after-build support was great too. I'd build with Carlisle again without a doubt!

Highview 30

Great experience!

The staff was very friendly and professional all the way through the building process. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the house was built and we didn't have any hidden costs like many other builders. The building process went smooth and the site supervisor kept us updated all the time. We are really happy with the end result! The quality of materials and work is great. Would highly recommend Carlisle to anyone!

George Steiner

[from George Steiner's After Babel: Aspects of Language & Translation, 1998]

It is likely that the current of language passing through the mind, either in voluntary self-address or in the perhaps random but almost certainly uninterrupted soliloquy of mental activity, contributes largely to the definition of 'interior time' . . .

The modulations of inference, of provisionality of conjecture, of hope through which consciousness maps ahead of itself, are facts of grammar. . . .

The tragic vision of Greek literature turns on this deep paradox: the event most expected, most consequent on the internal logic of action, is always the most surprising . . . We know precisely what Oedipus will discover -- in a crucial sense he too has known all along. Yet with each narration or performance of the fable our sense of shock is renewed. . . . Eteocles' knowledge that death waits for him at the seventh gate does not void his action; it gives it the dignity of meaning.

[Thucydides] The past tense of the verb is the sole guarantor of history.
