West Virginia is home to many different kinds of mining operations. Though it employs many individuals, the natural gas drilling industry is, by far, one of the most dangerous when it comes to employee health and safety. Working in this industry is not only risky, but demanding. It requires employees to work long hours doing the same task over and over again. The exhaustion and fatigue that comes from this results in countless injuries, illnesses, and deaths every year. In fact, workers are more likely to be hurt or develop an occupational illness the longer they work in natural gas. You may need to a natural gas injury lawyer if you have been injured on the job.

Natural Gas Industry Worker

Whether you drill, mine, or transport natural gas, if you are injured on the job, you may be able to get compensation for your damages. You can find out if you or your loved one have a natural gas accident case by contacting the Morgantown natural gas injury lawyers at Colombo Law and scheduling a free consultation.

West Virginia Natural Gas Injury Statistics

Since mining operations are prevalent here, it’s no wonder that West Virginia is amongst the top ten states when it comes to the number of fatalities suffered each year.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), oil and gas extraction are, on average, responsible for 70 percent of all mining industry fatalities. The most recent data from BLS shows that between 2007 and 2011, there were 14 fatalities in West Virginia. While this may not seem like a lot, each one of these people left behind families who loved them and suffered emotional and financial distress as a result of their loss.

Types of Natural Gas Drilling Accidents

Negligence is one of the biggest factors in natural gas accidents. Often, employers or supervisor are to blame for making employees work long hours, failing to implement safety procedures, providing safety equipment that is not up to par, failing to perform maintenance on drills and trucks, or improperly venting explosive vapors.

As Morgantown, West Virginia natural gas injury lawyers, we often see accidents and injuries caused by:

Drill Site Fires and Explosions

These accidents can occur when gas that is in the air or under pressure causes a fire or explosion. These can occur as:

  • Plant explosions/fires
  • Underground gas line explosions/fires
  • Gas generator explosions/fires
  • Industrial vehicle gas explosions/fires
  • Gas leak explosions/fires
  • Flash fires

Many explosions and fires result in severe and painful second and third-degree burns. They can also cause victims to lose limbs and suffer permanent scarring and disfiguration that requires reconstructive plastic surgery and/or skin grafts to repair.

Exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica

When stones or rocks are drilled, cut, or crushed, they can release a particle called crystalline silica. This particle is similar to sand but about 100 times smaller, which allows it to easily enter the respiratory system. When this happens, workers can suffer potentially fatal diseases, like silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, and lung cancer. Employers have a due to follow OSHA rules regarding crystalline silica exposure and ensure that workers have the safety equipment they need to prevent deadly exposure.

Chemical Spill Accidents

Toxic chemicals are often used in the process of natural gas extraction. Prolonged exposure to these chemicals can cause workers to suffer irreversible illnesses and deformities. It can also cause respiratory diseases, burns, and even cancer. Chemical exposure may not result in immediate symptoms. In some cases, the victim can be suffering from an illness that cannot be seen by the naked eye, so it’s crucial to see a doctor ASAP after chemical exposure.

Employee Fatigue

Employees who work for too long may not be able to think critically, react quickly, or adapt to their environments as well as they could if they were rested. Fatigue can lead someone to fall asleep on the job, mishandle chemicals, ignore safety procedures, or use machinery or equipment wrong, and any of these mistakes can result in an injury.

Poor Hiring Practices

Many mining and drilling companies are only interested in one thing: making as much money as possible in as little time as possible. These greedy tendencies can lead them to hire new workers and get them on the job quickly, often without properly training them. Inexperienced workers can hurt themselves or someone else, all because their employer was more interested in saving time and money rather than lives.

Old, Worn, Defective, or Misused Safety Equipment

Buying new safety equipment also costs employers a lot of money, so it’s much cheaper to push old equipment to its limits or make use of defective or faulty equipment. Unfortunately, this practice, or the practice of misusing equipment, mean that employees aren’t protected from things like toxic fumes or dangerous chemicals.

 Additional Causes of Natural Gas Drilling Accidents

  • Unsafe working environment
  • Failure to follow laws, rules, and safety regulations
  • Falls from heights
  • Lack of adequate supervision
  • Poorly constructed or placed gas lines
  • Inadequate maintenance of pipelines, machinery, and equipment

Types of Natural Gas Trucking Accidents

All of the gas that’s collected in mining efforts has to be transported. Usually, it’s pumped into a truck and driven to its next location. Thousands of these shipments make it safely to their destination each year, but those that are involved in truck accidents often result in devastating fires and explosions.

Some common causes of Morgantown natural gas trucking accidents include:

Excessive Traffic

Often in mining, and especially in the fracking industry, trucks must make hundreds or even thousands of trips to the same well every day. This results in more traffic, more trucks on the road, and more tired employees. Add poorly maintained roads and traffic congestion to this equation, and you have a much higher risk of accidents.

Driver Fatigue

Trucking laws say that a truck driver can only work for 14 hours at a time before they must be given 10 hours off. Many employers, however, will ignore these rules and force drivers to work much longer hours, even if they are fatigued. This puts the truck driver at risk for causing an accident and injuring innocent people on the road.

Additional Causes of Natural Gas Trucking Accidents

  • Failing to properly maintain and service trucks
  • Creating shell companies to avoid adhering to safety laws
  • Using exemptions that are not applicable to certain vehicles
  • Speeding
  • Overloading trucks
  • Falsifying driver logbooks
  • Failing to properly vet and train drivers before putting them on the job

Natural Gas Work Injury

Natural Gas Industry Injuries

Depending on how natural gas drilling accidents occur, they can cause a variety of injuries and illnesses. Fortunately, if you were injured while working in the natural gas industry, you may be able to seek compensation for things like:

  • Burn injuries
  • Chemical exposure injuries
  • Hearing loss or ear damage
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Injuries resulting in crushed or lost limbs or digits
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Paralysis
  • Occupational illnesses
  • Lost wages
  • Medical bills
  • Therapy and rehabilitation costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium
  • Wrongful death

Why Should I Hire a Natural Gas Injury Lawyer?

Natural gas companies and the people who run them have to adhere to the state and federal laws that are designed to protect their employees. Failure to do this means that their employees can be hurt or killed and either the injured employee or their surviving loved ones may be entitled to compensation.

Big drilling companies often have a team of insurance adjustors and lawyers to protect them against injured employees looking for compensation. These companies will do whatever they can to avoid paying the injured worker what they deserve. The good news is, injured workers can hire natural gas injury lawyers to help fight for their rights.

At Colombo Law, our Morgantown injury attorneys are well versed in the rules and regulations that apply to natural gas workers and truck drivers. We know how to use these laws to fight for the money you need to cope with your injuries and expenses. Plus, we work on a contingency fee basis, so you won’t owe us any attorney fees unless we win or successfully settle your case.

Michael Merrifield’s Liberal-Leaning Globe

Here is a story that pretty much embodies state Rep. Michael Merrifield‘s approach to politics. Two years ago, Merrifield’s conservative colleague Dave Schultheis announced he was forming a Bible Study at the state Capitol. Not to be outdone, Merrifield organized his own, four-week long bipartisan Bible study in another room at the Capitol.

“I’m not doing it to make a swipe at the ultra right,” Merrifield said at the time. “One of the things I decided when I decided to run for office is that I would not let the Christian right abrogate from me my Christianity or patriotism; those are not owned by the far right.”

Merrifield’s a retired high school music teacher. He’s strident, energetic and rambunctious. It’s almost been a prerequisite for the job. For the past six years he’s been El Paso County’s lone elected Democrat in a 13-member legislative delegation. He has never forgotten the insult of Rep. Keith King, asking him at the start of one session years ago, when the Republicans still held the majority, how it felt knowing that every single one of his bills was going to be killed. Merrifield gets the last laugh. Headed into his third term in office, the chairman of the House Education Committee is in the majority – and now he’s got a second Democrat from El Paso County, Senator-elect John Morse, watching his back.

Now that the Democrats have taken over the governor’s office, as well as the House and Senate, what are you planning to do?
I’m looking forward to taking over the world and turning it into my own personal liberal-leaning globe. Seriously, it’s kind of scary being in this position; what if we screw it up? I’m really excited and nervous about the next couple of years. We have the opportunity to do some positive things for Colorado and really get some things done in education and the environment, health care – it’s really time to put up or shut up.

What can we expect from education, specifically online charters? (NOTE: A host of problems, including lack of accountability, massive overhead costs, dismal student test scores and tax dollars funding religious instruction have been exposed in recent weeks targeting Hope Online Learning Academy.)
I look forward to addressing the obvious shortcomings of online education in Colorado. I’ve never been particularly fond of online charters – look at the amount of money they use that doesn’t go into educating kids. It’s a total misuse of the original charter school legislation. It’s one of the methods that the neocons and the public education detractors and haters are using to gain entry into the system, and we are going to address it in legislation this year.

In addition, we might try to see if there’s a way to administer CSAPs earlier, and get results back earlier to make it more user friendly.

I’m also interested in establishing a restorative justice system for schools, so kids have an alternative to being expelled or suspended. Basically they agree to sit down with the group and face the victim of whatever act it was, and work out restitution, and apologize and understand the negative effects of what they’ve done.

What else is on the agenda?
I’m going to bring back my tenant-landlord bill, probably with stronger tenants’ rights than in the past. I’m looking forward to sitting down with Governor Ritter, to hopefully come up with something that’s good for tenants and landlords. Governor Owens vetoed the bill two years ago, and then last year I asked for it to be killed. I had thought we had an agreement between tenant and landlord groups, but it didn’t work out. It did a number of things – changed the cap on late fees, changed the date that landlords have to return damage deposits, required renters to be given a copy of lease. It was a pretty minor bill compared to what other states have.  But Governor Owens was convinced by the realtor’s association that it would be a terrible catastrophe – the winds would come in fury, and the locusts would descend upon us…

So have you heard from the conservative Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, which declined to endorse either you or Democrat Senator-elect John Morse?
They haven’t been calling me and beating on the door. I can’t understand. No Christmas cards, nothing.

Seriously, though, the majority party wants Senator Morse and myself to do well – Democrats have established a beachhead in El Paso County and if John and I can show that Democrats from a place where the vast majority is Republican can get things done, it will help in the coming years.

Have you reached out to the similarly-conservative Colorado Springs City Council or the El Paso County Board of Commissioners?
I did send out feelers. I think it would be a good policy if we met on a regular basis – I’ve put out the offer and I’m hoping they respond positively. I’m really looking forward to meeting with [county Commissioner] Douglas Bruce on a regular basis… you know my tongue is firmly in cheek, right? But it does need to be done.

Which new Republican lawmaker from El Paso County are you most excited about joining you at the Capitol?
That’s a tough one – they’re all so exciting. Kent Lambert and Bob Gardner are sort of the Bobbsey Twins of humor – both are such great, fun guys. (Gardner, a former GOP chairman and longtime political operative in Colorado Springs, replaces term-limited Rep. Keith King; Lambert replaces Senator-elect Dave Schultheis, for whom Lambert previously worked as a legislative aide. Geographically speaking, Merrifield’s district in central/western Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs is sandwiched between the two incoming freshmen.)

The first thing I plan to ask [Bob] Gardner is, “How does it feel to know none of your legislation will pass?” Ha, ha, just kidding.

One final question: Did you hook Ted Haggard and Mike Jones up? I mean, this campaign you were being challenged by Haggard’s junior pastor, Kyle Fisk…
That’s even past the limits of my political strategic intellect – that sounds like a Karl Rovian thing, really.

Stay Chic In The Heat

Style Tips, Women, Seasonal, Clothing

When the heat is on the last thing you want is to be feeling hot and bothered. Here are our tips to keep you cool and chic in the Summer sun this season….

Lighten Up
Darker colours absorb heat so opt for the lighter shades in your palette wherever possible. If you fall into the Deep colour category this can be particularly tricky but you can try adding a little contrast in the form of a pattern or accessory to ensure the lighter shades you’re wearing don’t wash you out.

Seek Shade
A stylish hat is a surefire way to up the glam factor whilst also shielding you from harmful UV rays. Be sure to choose a style that flatters your face shape with a brim that covers your neck and ears, as well as your face. A breathable material like straw will ensure your head doesn’t get too hot!

Specs Appeal
Squinting is never a good look so invest in a good quality pair of sunglasses that flatter your face shape. Remember; opposites are attractive when it comes to face shapes so if you have a rounder face more angular styles will work best, whereas those of you with long or square face shapes are better suited to frames with softer edges.

Material Matters
Linen and cotton are natural, breathable fabrics and therefore great options for keeping cool in warm temperatures. For those of you who love denim, chambray is a great alternative as it looks similar but is much lighter in weight.

Loosen Up
Whilst it may not always be the most flattering option to wear loose fitting clothes, during the Summer sometimes it is a necessity. If more fluid clothing shapes aren’t typically suited to your body shape then think of ways to customise them a little to show off your figure – a loosely tied belt around a tunic will nip in your waist for example. For those of you with Oval body shapes now is the time to embrace those gorgeous flowing fabrics (and maybe show a little leg too!)

Donald Trump

Boy, You F*%&ed That Up'—Jon Stewart Returns To Late Night To Tear Trump A New One

(The Late Show with Stephen Colbert/YouTube)

Jon Stewart made another triumphant return to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and had more things to say about Donald Trump – because when it comes to wreaking havoc on the world, the president is never in short supply.

Stewart took over the reigns on the Late Show to personally deliver Trump a direct message. "Hello, Donald. It's me, the guy you made sure everyone knew was Jewish on Twitter," he began, referring to 45's previous tweet that the comedian rejected his Jewish heritage by dropping his surname: Leibowitz.

I know you're upset about all the criticism you've been taking in the 'fake news' and the 'fake late-night shows.' It's just that we're still having a little trouble adjusting to your presidency as it goes into its 500th year.

He described the current state of the world and how "everything's off its axis. It's a little unusual."

Apparently, Putin and Kim Jong Un are noble, intelligent role models, and Canada's a bunch of giant assholes. Like that's hard to get used to. Your'e re-doing the post-war alliances, only this time, we're with the axis powers.
If there's one hallmark to your presidency that I think we're finding most difficult, it's that, no matter what you do, it always comes with an extra layer of gleeful cruelty and dickishness.

The studio audience cheered their approval, but Stewart was only just beginning.

Jon Stewart captivating the audience once more by dishing on Trump.(The Late Show with Jon Stewart/YouTube)

He mentioned how anyone opposing the president, regardless of partisanship, are not only slammed for their opinions but also ridiculed for speaking up.

It's not just that you don't want people taking a knee, it's that they're sons of bitches if they do. It's not just denying women who accuse you of sexual assault, it's saying they were too ugly anyway. You can't just be against the media, they're 'enemies of the people.'

The monologue reached the topic of immigration, to which Stewart commented: "Boy, you fucked that up."

You could have absolutely made a more stringent border policy that would have made your point about enforcement. But I guess it wouldn't have felt right without a Dickensian level of villainy. You casually separated people seeking asylum from their children, from babies.
It made me realize something. You may be orange. You may like hamburgers. You may be a clown. But you are no Ronald McDonald.

We've had quite a week. But there's no doubt Stewart will return to late night again in the future to dish on more blunders to come from the White House.

After tearing into Trump, Stewart concluded his rousing monologue by encouraging audiences to "prevail" by not giving in to Trump's destructive rhetoric.

What Donald Trump wants is for us to stop calling his cruelty, and fear and divisiveness wrong. But to join him in calling it right. This we will not do. By not yielding we will prevail.

Yahoo! Japan drops plans to acquire eAccess

19 May 2014

Broadband provider Yahoo! Japan Corp, a subsidiary of telecoms giant Softbank Corp, has dropped its plans to acquire domestic telecoms provider and fellow Softbank Corp subsidiary eAccess; the move was meant to reorganise Softbank’s group assets and create a new mobile internet service, tentatively called Y!mobile. According to a company press release, Softbank Corp has decided that Yahoo! Japan will instead provide services via eAccess, which will remain as a separate company tasked with operating the network infrastructure. Further, eAccess will proceed with its planned absorption merger deal with PHS operator Willcom, currently scheduled for 1 June 2014.

As previously reported by TeleGeography’s CommsUpdate, in March 2014 Yahoo! Japan agreed to purchase 99.68% of the capital and 33.29% of the voting shares of eAccess, for JPY324 billion (USD3.17 billion). The deal was conditional on the planned merger between eAccess and Willcom going through; in December 2013 the two operators signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to merge their operations, in order to better utilise their business resources. The enlarged company, which will operate under the eAccess banner, will serve more than ten million subscribers, including 4.4 million eAccess customers and 5.7 million subscribers to Willcom’s services.

Transforming lives through digital literacy.

The January 4, 2021, deadline is rapidly approaching to apply for funding to provide digital literacy instruction and devices from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). To assist organizations serving senior, low-income, and non-English-speaking clients, CTN recently hosted a free webinar sharing important background information and specific details relevant to this funding cycle. The CPUC is in its fifth year of funding intended to bridge the digital divide in unserved and underserved communities with its California Advanced Services Fund (CASF).

If you were unaware of the webinar or unable to participate, please use the links provided below to learn more about the program and how to apply.

CTN brings a wealth of experience to help organizations submit strong applications and successfully deliver digital literacy programming and has partnered in over 80 funded applications. Since it is anticipated that the pool of funding will be exhausted in 2021, we want to help organizations and potential partners submit persuasive applications by the January 4 deadline.

What makes these grants special is that they fund devices for participants to keep, providing them the same freedom that most of us take for granted: 24-hour-a-day internet access from home or anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection. The importance of this funding is even greater now that traditional access points for public computers in libraries and senior and community centers are not currently available.

The application asks for experience providing digital literacy instruction and requires a sample curriculum. CTN staff, volunteers, and contractors are prepared to train a Basic Digital Literacy curriculum in seven languages: Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. In March 2020, CTN adapted its curriculum for remote instruction to continue providing skills and devices to individuals isolated by COVID shelter-in-place restrictions.

Use this link to view the recorded webinar using the passcode CPUCfund2020! when prompted. Follow this link for a copy of the slide deck that includes three budget examples not seen in the webinar (slides 27 – 29). If you have questions or would like help in submitting one or more applications for the 2021 round of funding, contact Laurie Sanchez as indicated below. Thank you.

Papaya Benefits & Uses For Skin | Holland & Barrett

Fresh, juicy fruits don’t just have to be a treat for your tastebuds. There are so many tropical fruits out there which can also do wonders for your skin. This includes papaya (also known as pawpaw), a fleshy fruit that’s native to Central and South America.

As well as having a sweet flavour and an excellent orange colour, papaya is packed with nutrients which are great for the entire body – including your skin!

Papaya benefits for skin

Whether you’re after younger-looking skin or want to reduce redness caused by acne, papaya could be for you. Here are just some of the reasons you might want to add it to your beauty regime.

Papaya is rich in antioxidants

Papaya is rich in several antioxidants, including lycopene, which can help reduce damage to the skin cells that are typically caused by free radicals. Skin that is less damaged tends to look smoother and younger, meaning papaya may help slow down the overall ageing process, too.1

Papaya is full of helpful enzymes

Papaya is often eaten for its digestive benefits which are attributed to the unique enzymes it contains. These same enzymes (namely papain and chymopapain) may be able to bring down sensitvity on the surface of the skin. These can also aid in removing dead skin cells which can clog up your pores and cause skin concerns.2

Papaya is a fantastic source of vitamin A

Papaya is a natural source of vitamin A, an essential nutrient which the body needs to maintain the skin, eyes, and immune system.3

When it comes to the complexion, vitamin A (in the form of retinol) can help stimulate new skin cells. This, in turn, will make your skin appear smoother and less dry. Papaya extract has long been used in skincare products which are designed to hydrate or minimise the appearance of scarring and stretch marks.

Ways to use papaya for your skin

If you’re sold on the benefits of papaya for the skin, why not use it to help nourish and soothe your face or body? Here’s how:

Make a papaya face mask

Combine one cup of mashed papaya with two tablespoons of honey (a natural antibacterial).4 Apply to face and neck. Leave for 15-20 minutes before washing off with warm or cold water.5

Whip up your own papaya body scrub

Blend a spoonful of papaya flesh with some papaya seeds and a little olive oil to create an exfoliating scrub for the whole body.6

Let your skin glow with a papaya facial

Another potential papaya-based mask you can create at home in minutes uses an equally as beneficial ingredient – turmeric! Mash some papaya with a little powdered turmeric and apply to the skin for 20 minutes to achieve a natural-looking glow.7

Buy a natural beauty product containing papaya

Papaya’s bounty of benefits has made it a go-to ingredient for many skincare brands. Check the backs of bottles to see if they contain papaya extract.

AT&T Enters Home Monitoring and Automation Market With "AT&T Digital Life"

  • Posted on: 23 February 2012
  • By: chw staff

AT&T initially indicated that they were planning to enter the home monitoring and automation market, has made it official. They will be unveiling it at this year’s GSMA Connected House Congress in Barcelona. The new home monitoring platform for service providers – is called “AT&T Digital Life”. The IP web based solution will give service providers the capabilities to offer their customers customizable, web-based home automation, energy and security services.

Unlike Verizon, Rogers cable and Swisscom which sell direct to consumer, AT&T is taking the other route of allowing service providers to develop their own brand by selling the service as their own. Digital Life features licensed software development kits and other services like hardware certification, application hosting, and technical and integration support.

“The platform is flexible, intuitive and scalable, providing service providers with a path into a market of significant growth opportunity.  With Digital Life, service providers will have the ability to arm their subscribers with technology to stay connected to what matters most to them in a simple, convenient, secure, and customizable way,” said Kevin Petersen, senior vice president, Digital Life, AT&T Mobility.

The Digital Life platform according to AT&T, is a complete end-to-end solution that will allow providers to offer their customers devices, like wireless sensors and cameras.  It features a control center that will receive feeds and alerts from cameras and sensors and stream this information via a web based user interface.

AT&T will be demonstrating the Digital Life platform at the GSMA Connected House at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain from February 27 through March 1.

Harrisburg, PA – With Pennsylvania’s first medical marijuana grow center set to open in Brookville next month, Pennsylvania launched a patient and caregiver registry last week.

So far, more than 3,800 patients and more than 200 caregivers have registered. The program is expected to be fully implemented by 2018.

In order to qualify for a prescription, Pennsylvanians must have a doctor’s diagnosis of one of twenty serious conditions, including cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and Multiple Sclerosis.

If you’re curious about what exactly medical marijuana is and how it might affect our local economy, you’re invited to a DuBois Chamber Business Over Breakfast event, called “What is Medical Cannabis?” It will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 6 from 7:30 until 9 a.m. at the DuBois Best Western. Admission is $15 per person, and reservations are required. RSVP by calling the DuBois Chamber at 371-5010.

Right now, patients and caregivers across Pennsylvania can go to our Web site at medicalmarijuana.pa.gov and register to participate in the medical marijuana program. Their next step is to visit an approved doctor to become certified with the program.

The Bausch + Lomb Story

One of the oldest continually operating companies in the US today, Bausch + Lomb traces its roots to 1853, when John Jacob Bausch, a German immigrant, set up a tiny optical goods shop in Rochester, New York. When he needed more money to keep the business going, Bausch borrowed $60 from his good friend, Henry Lomb. Bausch promised that if the business grew, Lomb would be made a full partner. The business did grow and the partnership was formed.

In the early years, Bausch + Lomb manufactured revolutionary rubber eyeglass frames as well as a variety of optical products that required a high degree of manufacturing precision. By 1903, the firm had been issued patents for microscopes, binoculars, and even a camera shutter based on the eye’s reaction to light...

A History of Innovation

In the 1900’s, Bausch + Lomb continued to demonstrate its place at the forefront of technological innovation for optical products. Bausch + Lomb produced the first optical quality glass made in America, developed ground-breaking sunglasses for the military in World War I, and created the lenses used on the cameras that took the first satellite pictures of the moon. In 1971, Bausch + Lomb introduced the first soft contact lenses and is still the largest global provider of eye care products.

Although products and times have changed, Bausch + Lomb still adheres to the legacy of dedication to innovation, quality, and craftsmanship established by John Jacob Bausch and Henry Lomb. In August 2013, Bausch + Lomb became the eye care division of Bausch Health Companies Inc., formerly known as Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.

Today, the company is one of the best-known and most respected healthcare brands in the world, offering the widest and finest range of eye health products including contact lenses and lens care products, pharmaceuticals, intraocular lenses and other eye surgery products.

Bausch & Lomb offers soft contact lens choices for a wide variety of modes of wear including dailies, monthlies, torics for astigmatism and overnight wear contact lenses, as well as a range of contact lens solutions, like the best selling Renu all in one solution.

Things that Go Together- Michael Anastassiades

$ 60.00

"This is the first monograph to celebrate the work of acclaimed designer Michael Anastassiades and takes an exhibition held in early 2019 as a starting point for exploring his approach to design. There, carefully laid out displays—things that Michael had unearthed in nature or sourced from his own collections—formed a constellation of objects and a syntax of ‘things that go together’. This book might be considered yet one more layer in this universe of objects and meaning.

Together with photos of the exhibition, a collection of essays reflects on Anastassiades’s early years in Cyprus, the influence of its natural environment and local artistic figures, his interest in exploring the psychological connection that humans share with the objects around them, and his appreciation of form and scale, but also unpredictability, in nature and design.

Texts by Alessandro Rabottini, Elena Parpa, Emily King, Mario García Torres, Michael Anastassiades, Yiannis Toumazis, and Zoë Ryan. Text editor: Alessandro Rabottini. Photography by Osma Harvilahti"

Salad brand Florette is all set for the festive season with the launch of new limited-edition packs for its Crispy range.

The ‘Merry Crispy’ will be available in convenience stores from 19th December until 31st December, ensuring all occasions over the festive season are catered for.

The design, which will appear across all of Florette’s170g Crispy products, incorporates golden snowflakes and the use of traditional Christmas colours

In addition, the Merry Crispy pack includes a coupon on the reverse, offering customers 50p off in the UK and 50c off in the Republic of Ireland, which can be redeemed in store during January and February 2019 on any Florette product.

Rebecca Walker, brand manager at Florette said: “Crispy is our most popular product, so it only seemed right that we got into the festive spirit with a limited-edition pack! We also wanted to reward shoppers with a money off voucher to help kick start their healthy eating regimes in the New Year.

“Florette ensures that only the very best quality leaves make it into each of our products so that our salad stays fresher for longer. This means that consumers can buy Merry Crispy in advance of Christmas celebrations, safe in the knowledge that it will last throughout the festive period.”

She added: “Not only does this packaging bring some festive fun to Christmas food shop, we believe it will also inspire a number of eating occasions during the Christmas season. It’s the perfect accompaniment to leftover turkey and family buffets - particularly if you’re looking for a lighter option after overindulging!”

The launch of the Christmas packaging is one of several innovations in the pipeline for Florette, with a range of NPD planned for 2019.

Ubud Inn Review

The restaurant at the Ubud Inn is located at the southern end of Monkey Forest Rd. Not long after we first arrived in Ubud I came here and had an eggplant dish that was not memorable, except just to remember not to come here again. It is one of the closer places to my workplace so I decided to try it again after 6 months.

My first reading of the menu only came up with the same eggplant dish as being enticing, until I noticed the steak section of the menu (I am not usually a steak fan), and decided to go with the ginger fish, which was a tuna steak. The dish came out on a sizzling plate, great as I love to eat my food hot. The steak was a very good size, but instead of the rice I expected it to come with there were chips. Also going with the western theme there was a side of carrots and beans. A typical steak and chips! It was great, a subtle ginger flavour.

I had nearly finished my order when I realised they have a decent coffee machine making espressos. It was a real coffee (by Perth standards) but made very watery and made with UHT milk, so only tasted average.

So far I have had a 50% success rate here, I may come back one day and try something else on the menu. If you sit out the back overlooking their relaxing fountain and pond, listening to Balinese tunes, it is a very relaxing place to eat. If you have the energy, walking another 5 minutes up Monkey Forest Rd towards the markets, you will come across some better choices in the same price range.

Corkbeg Crash Out Of Saxone Cup

Corkbeg were narrowly defeated in the Quarter Final of the Saxone Cup by a strong Hibernians side in Whitegate last Saturday. One goal was enough to separate the two evenly matched sides, as Aaron Hickeys tidy right foot finish after 30 minutes was enough to send Hibs through to the semi-finals. Corkbeg will rue a first half penalty miss by vice captain Aidan Cotter and despite good performances by Sean Quirke and Gavin Roche, that all important equalising goal would not come.  The lads return to league action  next Saturday v Central Rovers at 2.30 in Whitegate. Corkbeg have currently only lost one league game so far. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck in this one.

(First appeared in Horoscope.com)

Have you ever planned a road trip? Most of us have, and so we know that the basic things we need to know are 1) where we’re starting from; 2) where we want to end up; and 3) the means, plus a plan or directions to get us there.

Moving toward Intuitive Success works the exact same way. It starts with a personal inventory. Where are you right now?

Because you can’t get where you’re going if you don’t know where you are.

Imagine wanting to get to Chicago, but not knowing if you’re in New York or California. That would be a problem. It’s the same in life: In order to get where we’re going next, we have to have a clear idea of where we are in this moment. We have to be able to plug in the right coordinates.

Understanding where you are can be uber simple. It doesn’t take a 30-page personal assessment. All that’s needed is a picture. Yes, an actual physical picture.

In my book i describe this starting point as “taking your life pictures.” The idea is to grab a real camera (you probably don’t want some of these in ‘the cloud’) and take some pictures. If you don’t have a camera, you can get a disposable one and have them developed just for this (that’s still a thing, right?).

Once you have your camera, you’ll want to take pictures of any area of your life that you want. Say your body is your focus to get started. Get naked and take the picture. Then write a caption under that — one sentence that describes how you feel in your body right now.

That’s all you need. Now you know where you’re starting from. This is simple. It’s immediate. And it speaks volumes.

Now, if you’re not happy with where you are with your body (or your finances, romantic relationships, etc.), remember that for the moment you’re just getting clear. See if you can be as objective about it as saying, “I’m in New York or I’m in LA.”

If it helps, you can also think of it like an experiment, a school project that’s just helping you move more toward what you want.

Here are the areas of your life you might want to assess:

  • Physical: Get naked
  • Social: Grab a recent pic of you with your friends
  • Love: Take a picture with your partner, or alone if you’re not currently in a romantic relationship
  • Financial: Open your wallet or take out your latest bank statement and snap a shot
  • Purpose/Career: Take a selfie at your desk, or a photo of a recent project
  • Home/Environment: Capture a messy closet or your favorite nook in your house
  • Spirituality/Faith: Take a snapshot of an inspiring passage from a book or your favorite element in nature that illustrates your relationship to God or the Universe

And remember to add a caption to each photo to describe the current status of that area in life.

To start it’s sufficient to choose 1- 3 areas where you’d like to dedicate you focus. For example, personal finances was a big one for me for a while in my life. When the conversation would turn to numbers, I would completely check out. I knew this wasn’t sustainable, because I’m a business owner and I have a family to co-support. But the neural pathways responsible for my reactions to finances would automatically shoot me down that road. In this case my picture could have also been my caption, and it looked like this.

That’s all I needed to see that I wasn’t where I wanted to be… YET.

Life is a non-linear process and you may have to circle back to the ‘picture-taking’ multiple times as you continue to grow and evolve in the various areas of your life. You can use it as a simple framework that can help point out what still needs your attention.

In next month’s Intuitive Success article, we’re going to look at figuring out where you want to go from here — the next destination on your life map.

Until then, give this picture-taking a shot and let me know in the comments which pictures you choose to take, or send me one!

New Analysis Of The Second Most Distant TNOs (225088) 2007 OR10

By | On + -
New Analysis Of The Second Most Distant TNOs (225088) 2007 OR10

Using analysis provided by NASA’s Kepler space telescope — K2 extended mission — and thermal infrared data provided by ESA’ Herschel Space Observatory, a team of scientists found that (225088) 2007 OR10 is likely to be larger in size and darker than previously thought.

Trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) are known as the most pristine types of bodies orbiting in the Solar System — TNOs are objects in our Solar System that orbits the Sun at a greater average distance than Neptune is. The most famous Trans-Neptunian objects is Pluto, a dwarf planet discovered over 60 years before any other TNOs. Studying these objects could help us to understand both the formation of our planetary system and the circumstellar material, debris disks orbiting other stars.

Discovered in 2007, (225088) 2007 OR10 is the second most distant known TNO to date, following Eris. Its situated at a distance of at least 87AU and still moving further away up to its aphelion at 100AU. It has high orbital eccentricity, so upon perihelion, it comes nearly as close as Neptune.

Ground-based observations revealed a corresponding diameter of 2007 OR10 as 1535 km which places (225088) 2007 OR10 in the biggest top three trans-Neptunian objects. The infrared thermal spectra measurements taken with the Herschel Space Observatory revealed the presence of water ice and a characteristic red color for this object — the red color of 2007 OR10 is likely to be due to the retain of methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen on the surface.

You get to see this nice picture of what once was an active little world with water volcanoes and an atmosphere, and it’s now just frozen, dead, with an atmosphere that’s slowly slipping away,

Mike Brown, of Caltech, said.

The newly derived diameter of 2007 OR10 is notably larger than the previously obtained value in 2012. This new value would place 2007 OR10 as the third largest dwarf planet after Pluto and Eris. Due to its large size, 2007 OR10 has likely a shape close to spherical that may be altered by rotation ~ leading to a shape of a MacLaurin spheroid.

  The Kepler space telescope has been designed to continuously observe, discover and characterize transiting exoplanets. After the failure of the reaction wheels in 2013, the new mission called K2 has been initiated and commissioned.

In this extended mission, Kepler can be relevant collecting data for the study of “supernova explosions, star formation and Solar-System bodies such as asteroids, comets and TNOs.

K2 was used intensely to study 2007 OR10, leading astronomers to find some intriguing physical proprieties of this object. They determined that it has rotation period significantly shorter than earlier estimation (22.40 or 44.81 h). The slow rotation of 2007 OR10 can be caused by tidal synchronization, similar to the object 2010WG9, a slow rotation superseded by a very few objects only.

For four and a half billion years, 2007 OR10 has been sitting out there, slowly losing its atmosphere, and now there’s just a little bit left.

Researchers hope to use even bigger telescopes to scrutinize the dwarf planet further. To mention that all of the data presented in the paper were obtained from the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). STScI is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, under NASA contract. The paper was uploaded on arxiv servers.

  1. Laszlo Molnar

    “it has rotation period significantly shorter than earlier estimation” – you mean significantly slower. Or shockingly slow, as Mike Brown himself put it:

Safer is better

INCREASING pressure to eliminate the highly controversial ‘bou embolat’ (bull with fire on its horns) event from local festivities throughout the Valencia region have yielded a result.
While the idea of dropping the event remains tricky due to the considerable support it enjoys, significant changes were announced this week.
The regional government announced new measures aimed at tightening up safety and reducing the ordeal for the animals.
Sessions will be made shorter, dropping from the 45 minutes to one hour that each ‘bou embolat’ currently takes, to a maximum 30 minutes.
The aim is to cut the amount of time the animals are forced to endure the flaming balls on their horns.

Chip and Joanna's prominent position on the cover is a hint of what's to come: The book will give fans a glimpse into their lives beyond what you see on TV, starting with their lives before they became household names.

"I knew when I married Chip in 2003 that this life would be an adventure," said Joanna Gaines in a press release. "Through all the ups and downs, I never would have imagined we'd land here. What I do know is that I couldn't have asked for a better partner to share it with."

The Magnolia Story will take fans through the couple's early collaborations, sharing secrets about how they've managed to keep their relationship so strong through it all.

"Writing a book is a tough job," Joanna told PEOPLE. "But reliving years of memories together was so fun. Chip is a great storyteller, and I actually found that I have a knack for remembering details. We made a pretty good team and had a blast working on it together."

If you're constantly wondering how the Gaineses balance all their projects (a bakery, a furniture line, and a B&B, oh my!) with family, mark your calendars for October 18, 2016, when The Magnolia Story hits bookshelves.

Planning permission has been granted to build 39 affordable homes on the site of a former school in Wyken.

The Tiverton Road site was formerly the home of Dartmouth School and after that was a temporary home for the Seva School.

The Seva School moved to its new home in Walsgrave in September 2015 and since then the site has been vacant.

Planning permission has now been granted for 23 affordable rented and 16 shared ownership properties to be built by Coventry-based family firm Deeley Group for housing provider Stonewater.

The site was originally purchased from Coventry City Council and upon completion will feature 39 brand new homes comprising a mix of two, three and four-bedroom houses.

Stonewater and Deeley Group previously worked together on the development of another affordable development at Feather Lane in Nuneaton, which completed earlier this year.

Planned layout of the Tiverton Road site where 39 affordable homes are to be built

Peter Deeley, managing director of the Deeley Group, said: “There is a genuine need for more housing of this type in Coventry and we are pleased to be able to deliver this development alongside our partners.

“We have a strong relationship with Stonewater and we are looking forward to working closely with them again, after the great success of our project in Nuneaton.

“With planning now approved, work will be starting on site in the coming months.

“This scheme will provide vital affordable housing for the community in Wyken and surrounding areas and makes good use of what would otherwise be a redundant brownfield site.”

Mr Deeley added: “Deeley Group has a history of development in the area, building St John Fisher Catholic Primary school in the 1950s and St John Fisher church and hall in the 1970s. Many years ago I drove machinery on the nearby site as I began my career in construction.

“We have great expertise in delivering developments of this type for local people, and it is the latest in a string of affordable housing schemes we have worked on in Coventry, Warwickshire and further afield.”

Matt Crucefix, director of development (West) at Stonewater, said: “We’re delighted to be working with the Deeley Group on another regenerative project so that we can make better use of this brownfield site.

“Trying to manage the spread of Covid-19 over the last few months has shone a light on just how important it is that everyone has a place to call home and has really amplified the importance of our work as a social housing provider.

“We’re looking forward for work to get underway at Tiverton Road, so we can support the local community and bring more much-needed affordable homes to Wyken.”

1951 Mercedes-Benz 220A Cabriolet

The Frankfurt Motor Show in the Spring of 1951 saw the return of Mercedes-Benz to their traditional place in the high quality market with the introduction of the 220 series. In line with the rest of the contemporary range of models, these cars featured six cylinder single overhead camshaft engines, valves being across, not in line with, the head. This unit produced 80bhp at a relaxed 4,600rpm, giving an impressive 90mph top speed. Roadworthiness was described by The Motor at the time as outstanding, all independent suspension giving a remarkably level ride on poor secondary roads, yet with good high speed cornering and precise steering. This car was not cheap however, the German price of £1,098 being inflated to £2,123 for the UK market.

This Dutch registered example of the collectible early post-war 220A cabriolet model is offered in good order, supplied with original tools and a luggage set.

Finished in green with a tab interior, this is a well priced example of a popular Mercedes-Benz model amongst collectors. Not to be missed!

Pandemic allows leaders to strengthen bond with workers

As we practice social distancing and work remotely, the danger of becoming an emotionally distant and unavailable leader is as real as the health threat from COVID-19.

If your leadership style was mostly hands-off before the virus-induced lockdown, having employees work off-site might threaten to freeze daily communication channels as never before. More than ever, it is critical that social distancing does not create professional and personal distancing that can, ultimately, damage our brand and bottom line.

We landed upon several strategies ‒ pre-, mid- and post-pandemic ‒ that might help all of us in this strange new world of work.

The trauma epidemic

Our Dasher culture has always recognized that many on our team, most of whom are economically fragile, have experienced trauma in their lives. From addiction and homelessness to domestic violence, incarceration, illness and grief, many wonderful team members have endured great trials. Appreciating their life stories, we endeavor to meet their needs as they live and work with the after-effects of trauma.

Today, our team members understandably are grieving as they adjust to an avalanche of loss: They might have lost loved ones, their life savings, major family plans, cherished time with those they love, and more.

We must be supportive, so that they not only can cope, but thrive.

Because our culture emphasizes face-to-face interaction, we have concentrated on maintaining connectedness through the latest technology and frequent virtual meetings.

As author Dale Carnegie writes in his seminal work, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” the universal need shared by every human being is the desire to be appreciated, to feel valued and essential. Frequent check-ins to see how someone is doing and what he or she requires are all part of fulfilling that foundational need.

From camera-shy to being in the spotlight

By feeling fully connected, your team members can come to you with their needs, despite not being in the same office space.

While Zoom seems to be the app du jour for conferences, we use Microsoft Team almost exclusively, and we find ways to connect with our members regularly. Video drives engagement, and when used correctly, it can help our team feel more like part of our family.

We meet at regularly scheduled times. We have a morning stretch, an 8:30 a.m. coffee, a noon lunchtime and a 2:30 p.m. water cooler conversation. This frequent interaction helps to transcend loneliness while minimizing the risk of miscommunication so prevalent in emails and texts that hide body language.

We also deployed a survey to collect data on how COVID-19 is affecting our team members’ lives and work. We aggregate the data, so it does not intrude upon their privacy.

Through it all, we do not focus on our needs; we focus on the needs of our team members. We are always asking, “What do you need?”

Many employees say they need educational resources for their newly home-schooled children. Co-workers often help buoy these efforts, and we connect parents to online lessons and TV programs. We even built a parenting resource on our own channel. This team engagement and support at all levels drives loyalty and retention, and even can reduce trauma.

In addition to frequent and meaningful group sessions, we have many one-on-one conversations. About the only thing I can’t do is put my hand on someone’s shoulder.

Maintaining full contact

By hopping on the camera often, we more readily can troubleshoot workflow issues as we queue print jobs from home or discuss a project.

It has become self-evident: Our high-contact, culture-driven business model is not only a recipe for success, it is a necessary approach to bake goodness into the product and service mix. We can resolve problems easily, answer questions instantly and support one another as if we were sitting less than six feet apart.

Your team members might not all be in the same room, but they can all be in the same space.

ULI Forecasts Strong CRE Growth to Return in 2022

Only industrial vacancies will resemble pre-pandemic levels, according to the Urban Land Institute’s latest semi-annual economic outlook.

Despite numerous uncertainties, economic and real estate recovery should begin in the second half of 2020, followed by stronger growth in 2021 and significant growth in 2022, according to the Urban Land Institute’s semi-annual Real Estate Economic Forecast.

The three-year “consensus” forecast measures 27 economic and real estate factors and represents the average of forecasts from 39 economists/analysts at 35 real estate organizations. The 17th semi-annual forecast was based on responses collected from May 1 to May 18.

Forecast results vary widely by property type. Only industrial vacancies, for example, will return to pre-pandemic levels by 2022, according to Anita Kramer, senior vice president ULI Center for Capital Markets and Real Estate, who delivered the survey results via Zoom.

The other key elements of the forecast were:

*Annual GDP growth in 2020 will be negative 6 percent, which is below 2009’s negative 2.9 percent. But expect annual gains of 3.9 percent in 2021 and 3.6 percent in 2022, which surpass the 10-year high of 3 percent in 2014.

*With a net drop of 10 million jobs in 2020, unemployment will finish the year at 11 percent. Four million jobs will be added in 2021 and 4 million in 2022. “Without full recovery, this rate is not back to the lows of the last six years,” said Kramer.

*Low inflation is expected over the next few years. According to the forecast, the Consumer Price Index Inflation Rate will be 0.5 percent in 2020, 1.8 percent in 2021 and 2 percent in 2020.

*The 10-year Treasury is expected to be extremely low this year at .8 percent, rising to 1.3 percent in 2021 and 1.7 percent in 2022.

*The NCREIF cap rate, which has steadily declined since 2009 when it was 6.9 percent, is expected be 5.1 percent in 2020, hold steady in 2021 and decline to 4.9 percent in 2022.

*Transaction volume this year is expected to drop by 50 percent to $275 billion but grow to $400 billion in 2021 and $500 billion in 2022. “Even with the steep decline in 2020, the total of the three years is $1.2 trillion, which shows a much healthier capital market environment than the financial crisis years of ’08-’10,” said Kramer.

*The RCA Price Index, which has consistently shown 6 percent annual gain since 2011, is expected to fall 7 percent in 2020, inch up 1 percent in 2021 and climb 5 percent in 2020.

The Many Unknowns

ULI’s forecast may be considered best-case given the many economic and public health “what ifs”: A possible second coronavirus wave, the need to discover a vaccine, the potential for some shuttered businesses not to reopen and many furloughed workers being laid off more permanently.

Add to that pre-Coronavirus secular trends like Baby Boomers retiring and taking their high salaries out of the economy, noted Suzanne Mulvee, senior vice president of Research & Strategy for GID Investments, during a panel discussion following the forecast’s release.

This is next to impossible,” said Mulvee. “We are not forecasting economic variables. We are forecasting medical science and the policy response, which makes it really, really hard.”

Luckily, for real estate, policymakers seem to be doing everything they can to bolster the economy. Rather than being seen as inflationary, the stimulus packages to date have filled a “hole” left by the virus and provided “a bridge” to the second half of the year when a U-shaped recovery should begin, according to Stuart Hoffman, senior vice president and senior economic advisor, PNC Financial Services Group.

Industrial Out in Front

Assisted by explosive growth of e-commerce, industrial has the best outlook for vacancy rates, rents and NCREIF Index gains. Industrial vacancies will rise just 60 basis points in 2020, then decline 25 basis points in 2021 and 40 basis points in 2022. Industrial rents will be stable in 2020, while growing 2.5 percent in 2021 and 4 percent in 2022. NCREIF industrial will be up 2 percent, up 7 percent and up 9 percent, respectively.

Meanwhile, vacancies in retail, which for the forecast included grocery-anchored and community centers, will rise 300 basis points in 2020 and 70 basis points in 2021 and decline 25 basis points in 2022. Hotel occupancy rates in 2020 are expected to be 40 percent in 2020, 54.9 percent in 2021 and 59.9 percent in 2022. The previous 10-year low was 54.6 percent in 2009.
