Pennsylvania Dog Bite Laws Were Enacted for The Victim's Protection

There are several factors that can contribute to the assumed negligence of a pet owner, and all of these factors will be considered by our personal injury attorneys. Pennsylvania courts often consider the following factors: First, did the animal have a history of violent behavior? If a pet owner is aware of a pet's tendency to attack, the owner has a duty to contain the animal. Also, did the pet owner do everything in his or her power to contain the animal, even if it did not have a history of attacking? Despite these considerations, however, our personal injury attorneys have helped Berks County, Pennsylvania clients to receive damages in animal attack cases even if the pet has had no prior history of aggression because Pennsylvania Law requires the owner have control of his animal by keeping him contained within the confines of his property or properly leashed. By having prior knowledge and evidence to support the owner's negligence, an animal attack case will be considerably stronger. Because they are common and serious, dog bites are not something to take lightly. In the 14-year period of 2005 through 2018, canines killed 471Americans. Pit bulls contributed to 66% (311) of these deaths. Combined, pit bulls and rottweilers contributed to 76% of the total recorded deaths.

Because she moved homes 20 times by the age of 20, she understands the impact that moving has on individuals and families. Erin has a passion for making sure her clients are well cared for during the process. Whether buying or selling, she knows that every client is unique, so she approaches each transaction with a sharp eye, a compassionate heart, and the right strategy to meet her clients’ real estate and financial goals.

In three words Erin is passionate, patient, and knowledgeable. Plus, she's all around incredibly good at what she does. She expertly guided us through the entire home-buying process.

We began our search in April and closed on a house in August. Erin took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us to narrow that down. At times, we even needed to be reminded of our goals, and she did that. She had the patience to let us go through the whole house discovery journey and gave us the support we needed. Then when it was time to act, she was on it and helped us make, what could be a really terrifying process, really quite simple. She was also very knowledgeable on what to look our for in a home and connected us with great people for inspections, fixes, etc. Erin consistently went above and beyond, and in the end, we found the right home for us.

I highly recommend Erin!

Erin was wonderful! We came from out of state, and each time we came, she was well prepared to maximize our house-hunting time. She checked in regularly, and facilitated a smooth transition between selling our house in another state and buying our current home. She asked great questions and quickly figured out what we liked and didn’t like. Erin was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and I would highly recommend her!

More repercussions of the Borsod by-election

October 14th, 2020

Pundits across the political spectrum ponder the implications of the joint opposition candidate’s defeat in the Borsod 6 district by-election.

In Népszava Róbert Friss, commenting on Sunday’s by-election, (see BudaPost October 13) wonders whether the cooperation of opposition parties could and should be maintained in the 2022 election. The left-wing columnist blames the defeat of opposition candidate László Bíró on what he calls the ‘anti-Nazi campaign’ waged by Fidesz, which ‘successfully divided the intellectual hinterland of the opposition’.

Friss underscores that anti-Semitism is unacceptable, but adds that moral qualms may hinder the opposition in achieving its main aim, which is to defeat Fidesz. Friss notes that Bíró apologized for his statements, made on his Facebook page in 2018. He goes on to suggest that once the opposition defeats Fidesz, the left-wing parties can get rid of Jobbik.

On Index, Attila Tibor Nagy, an analyst of the centrist Fairness Policy Analysis Center thinks that the opposition was defeated in the Borsod by-election partly because of Bíró’s anti-Semitic remarks, but also because Fidesz spent much more on political marketing than the opposition parties. The opposition can only win in 2022 if it finds stronger joint candidates than Bíró, who can successfully challenge Fidesz candidates even in rural districts, Nagy writes.

Magyar Hírlap’s Mariann Őry believes that the opposition is failing to face the real reasons for its defeat. The pro-government columnist writes that as well as making anti-Semitic statements, Bíró was also accused of corrupt business manoeuvers. Independent MP Ákos Hadházy in an interview accused Bíró of the embezzlement of 50 milllion Forints of EU funding. Őry finds it nauseating that the opposition parties, always so vigilant in matters of anti-Semitism, took Bíró’s apology at face value and lined up behind him. As for the long-term implications, Őry suspects that Jobbik’s bargaining position will weaken in the opposition, and Ferenc Gyurcsány will become even stronger after Sunday’s by-election.

Confessions of a Cruise Ship Doctor

Bt Thumbnail DefaultBt Thumbnail Default

This article was written by Sid Lipsey and originally appeared on Yahoo Travel.

Being a cruise ship doctor may seem like the medical profession's dream gig—and in a lot of ways it is. But the job comes with an incredible amount of responsibility: you see everything from sprained ankles to potentially deadly heart attacks. You're responsible for the lives of thousands of passengers and crew. And for many people, having a great vacation means never, ever seeing you.

It's a job Dr. John Bradberry knows well. A double board-certified emergency medicine and family medicine physician, Bradberry spent seven years as a ship doctor for a major cruise line and another seven years as that cruise line's medical director. Long story short, he's seen just about all there is to see at sea. Here, Dr. Bradberry shares what it's like to be a real-life ship's "Doc."

We really are doctors—and good ones—despite what some people might think

Passengers think the medical center on board a ship is maybe a Band-Aid station. In a passenger area or in an elevator, a passenger would look at my nametag [which says] "Ship's Physician." And it's like, "So what do you do? Treat a lot of seasickness? Ha ha!" And it's not the case. Credentialing guidelines for cruise ship doctors require extensive experience and expertise in primary care, including emergency medicine.

We work hard, but we also get to enjoy the benefits of cruising

Any doctor who anticipates that the practice of cruise ship medicine is tantamount to a paid vacation is going to be sorely disappointed. Cruise ship doctors have an immense amount of responsibility on their shoulders. That cruise ship doctor is responsible for the health and well-being and lives of 5,000 people; that's a small town. A physician must be on call 24 hours a day whenever the ship is at sea. So it's not a paid vacation by any means.

There is time off, though. And during the time-off periods, the ship's doctors can go up to the main deck where a lot of the activities are and intermingle with the guests. If the ship is in port and the doctor's off-duty, they're allowed to go shoreside and go exploring, go to the beach, go on shoreside excursions. All expenses paid travel, and you get a salary on top of it. Free room and board is included. In some ways, the ship's doctors get paid to do what the passengers are paying to come and do.

Yes, it's like "The Love Boat"—kinda

There are a lot of romances... among the crew. You have a thousand mostly young adult crewmembers living, working, and socializing together, and human nature will take its course.

In true "Love Boat" fashion, I met my wife on board. She was one of the ship's nurses. She's half-British, half-Greek, tall, black hair and big sparkling blue eyes. And I just happened to be in the medical center when she walked in. And when she spoke, she had that British accent. Within 8 to 10 seconds of laying eyes on her, I thought, "This might get complicated." So we're now married with two kids; I think that qualifies as a "complicated."

Despite "Doc's" womanizing on "The Love Boat," there's no hanky-panky between real-life cruise ship doctors and passengers

The length of time [we're at sea is] anywhere from three days to a week. There really isn't time to get to know passengers. Unlike what might have been depicted on "The Love Boat," medical officers are allowed in a passenger's cabin only when responding to a medical emergency. Passengers are not allowed in crew areas, including crew quarters, at any time. There's zero tolerance for that; even officers will be terminated for bringing a passenger into restricted areas of the ship.

Watch:"The Love Boat" Cast Talks to Yahoo Travel

If you're going to have a heart attack, a cruise ship isn't a bad place to do it

I know of multiple people who are alive today because they had cardiac arrest on board a cruise ship rather than at home. At home, the ambulance might take 10-15 minutes or longer to arrive. By then, it could be too late. On board, doctors and nurses are typically only several minutes away from any location on board ship.

...Speaking of which: Beware of the casino

There was a gentleman who hit the jackpot in the casino on a slot machine. And the excitement and the adrenaline surge of that precipitated a heart attack. He actually collapsed in the casino. And so we got there and he was actually in cardiac arrest. He was lying on the floor and I'm trying to intubate him and I can still hear all the other slot machines all around me jingling. Here we had a cardiac arrest patient, I'm doing CPR, resuscitating him, and in the process of intubating the patient, and people ten feet away are still playing the slots!

Security responded and started getting people to back away. So we took him down to the medical center and put him on life support. We had a good outcome. By the time we got to our destination, he was off life support, sitting up, and he went off in a wheelchair. And it was just ironic that his total medical bill came out to within a couple of dollars of what his jackpot winning was! He didn't mind; he was just so happy to be alive. So it's just another example that with gambling the house always wins!

People jumping overboard: doctors have to deal with that too

One individual was having relationship problems. He broke up with his partner so he decided to go on a cruise to make himself feel better. Sure enough, when a person goes on a cruise ship, his problems come with him. He still felt despondent and depressed. And then to make things worse, he went into the casino and lost a couple thousand dollars. That was the final note; he decided he was done. It was at night and he went and he jumped overboard.

He jumped from the front of the ship, which means he was basically going to get sucked under the ship and go through the propellers. So a security guard happened to see it and radioed the bridge: "MAN OVERBOARD! STARBOARD SIDE!" The deck officers train for this and they knew how to respond. They turned the steering wheel of the ship in the direction [of the jumper]. That swung the back of the ship around and away from the person who'd gone overboard. And then they lowered the lifeboat and he was rescued. He had jumped from like eight stories into the water, so we had him in the medical center. He explained that after he jumped, he had enough time to reconsider what he had done and to change his mind about it—all before landing in the water. He said, "Doc, when I hit that water I swam like a dolphin away from the ship because I knew I was going to get pulled under." The following day we transferred him shoreside for psychological support.

The three things that tick off cruise ship doctors the most?

1. [People] going shoreside and renting a moped after doing tequila shots and not wearing a helmet. I see it all the time; it can have tragic results. 2. Passengers with unrealistic expectations about on-board medical capabilities. Some have complained, for example, because only regular X-ray is available and not CT or MRI scans. And... 3. Health care-related decisions being made by those with no health care qualifications. I recall more than one of my valid healthcare-related recommendations being overruled by a management official whose expertise was in hospitality. No lives were endangered but it was very frustrating.

We look for pregnant women

After about 20-24 weeks typically cruise lines do not allow pregnant women to sail. The embarkation staff are trained to watch for that. If they see someone who looks obviously pregnant they'll intervene and they'll have someone from medical come off the ship and investigate.

The reason for that: after about 24 weeks, if a baby is delivered prematurely and has access to a pediatric intensive care unit, they're viable. They can be saved. But on a cruise ship [if a baby's delivered at] 24-32 weeks or so, the odds are they're not going to make it. So we don't want a pregnant woman to come on board and maybe have a pre-term delivery where that baby is doomed whereas if that baby was on land it would have had a good chance of survival.

There is a morgue on board

Any licensed physician can pronounce a patient dead. Then the patient, the same as in a shoreside hospital, is placed in a body bag and is taken to the morgue. The ships have a morgue on board. No, it's not the walk-in cooler where they store food; it's a proper morgue and it's specifically for that purpose. It's not used that often but occasionally it is.

The best part of being a cruise ship doctor

I found it very rewarding to be able to be out at sea and have the medical training and knowledge, and the medical equipment and supplies on board, to be able to literally save a person's life.

...And the worst part.

Being away from home. After months of being deployed you get a little bit homesick. Then when you get home you start missing the cruise ship. I remember I would be out to sea. I was an officer on board. I had a cabin steward; it was kind of like living in a hotel. I'd go into the officers' dining room; it's like sitting down at a restaurant. It's all included. I didn't pay for anything. And my laundry was done for me. Then I would get home and the first couple of days it's like, "What am I gonna eat?" Then I'd go out, run errands, come back midmorning, and the wet towel is lying on the bathroom floor where I'd left it. My bed's not made. I'm like, "What is this?" And then I go, "Oh, it's reality. That's what it is." So it's always a good feeling to get home. But then I was always counting the days to get back on board the ship.

When you stop being a cruise ship doctor, you miss it... kinda

Do I miss cruise ship life? Absolutely. But, where do I go for vacation? To the mountains!

Job Market: Down, but Not Out

Business schools are finding it tough to get students placed, but its not doomsday

Job Market: Down, but Not Out
Illustration by Raj Verma

Rajesh Anam completed his MBA from a Mumbai-based business school earlier this year. But even before he could get his degree, he had an offer letter from a leading digital marketing company. Just when Anam believed he had secured his future, Covid-19 brought the economy to a halt. Several businesses shut down as a consequence of the prolonged lockdown and many were stranded without jobs. A multitude of businesses were also unable to honour their hiring commitments on campuses across the country, since they were grappling with survival issues. Anam's employer also sent him a polite regret letter saying the company won't be able to honour its commitment of hiring him. "I don't have a grouse against them since most of their clients are in travel, hospitality and retail sectors, which completely shut down during the lockdown," says Anam.

Business schools across the country have similar stories of companies that were not able to either honour their hiring commitments or pushed joining dates of management trainees by a few months. "Companies such as Uber backed out, while Udaan did not honour its summer internship commitment. It did hire management trainees it had committed to hire. Reliance Industries on-boarded candidates at a much lesser compensation package," says Upasana Bagchi (name changed on request), an alumni of XLRI Jamshedpur. At many of the leading IIMs, a number of banks and consulting companies backed out of summer internship commitments. "Students who had received offers from these organisations were told that they couldn't find a way to offer them virtual internships," says a second-year student at one of the top-rung IIMs.

The good news, however, is that most of the students in the top-rung business schools did manage to get new placement offers. "We lost one-third of summer internship offers as organisations told us they won't be able to do justice with our students. However, we did manage to get them alternate placements," says Professor Janat Shah, Director, IIM Udaipur. From Axis Bank to Mondelez India, a host of companies have on-boarded B-School students who lost out due to the pandemic. R. Mahalakshmi, Head, HR India, Mondelez India, says the company increased its summer intern intake by 25 per cent this year. "We looked at the pandemic and the slowdown thereof as an opportunity to strengthen our talent pipeline," adds Rajkamal Vempati, Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), Axis Bank.

One of the first things that consulting company Deloitte did as soon as the pandemic broke out, says, S.V. Nathan, Partner and CHRO, was to make sure it contacted every single candidate and let them know that Deloitte would honour their commitments to them. "Deloitte has honoured and will continue to honour every single offer made on campus. We have been in regular touch with selected candidates to reconfirm our commitments, in cases where joining dates had to be staggered," he adds.

Though students from top-rung campuses managed to get placed, those from Tier-II or Tier-III campuses have had some disappointments. "A vast majority of students are finding it difficult to get placed," says Akhil Shahani, Managing Director, The Shahani Group, Director, Thadomal Shahani Centre for Management (TSCFM, and CEO, Ask.CAREERS. "Jobs are fewer than earlier, but hiring hasn't come to a halt," adds Nitesh Jain, President, SP Jain School of Global Management. "Apart from travel & hospitality, all sectors are showing interest. While some companies have freezed hiring, others are coming with new roles," adds Professor Aditya Billore, Chair, Placements, IIM Indore.

Anam, on the other hand, is yet to get a job, but has got himself a two-month internship at Mondelez India by winning MTV's #GetAJob contest. He is in the final stages of his internship where he is working with the chocolates team. While Anam is confident that this two-month internship will help him find a good job, Mahalakshmi of Mondelez says apart from taking on students from B-Schools (where they usually hire from) who lost their internships with other companies due to the pandemic, the chocolate maker has also looked at open-source partnerships. "In the middle of the lockdown we partnered with MTV to offer dream internship opportunities to students across campuses in India. Offering internships and hiring from business schools is a huge component of our talent strategy," adds Mahalakshmi.

Like Mondelez, Nestle also opened its summer internship programme beyond its usual summer intern hires. "We initiated the Nesternship programme, which provided a good opportunity to 1,000 students to gain relevant experience over and above our internship programme," says Amit Narain, Director, HR, Nestle India.

While a number of corporate houses on-boarded more summer interns than they usually do, sectors which honoured their commitments include e-commerce, edtech, FMCG, logistics and consulting. The maximum turn-down of offers happened in manufacturing, automobile, banking and start-ups. Krishna Raghavan, Chief People Officer, Flipkart, says the e-commerce major has actually increased its hires this year. "We are in line with our hiring target this year and have witnessed an increase in hiring compared to the previous year. We look forward to inducting and grooming top talent from across B-Schools in the country in the year ahead."

It has been hiring as usual for Amazon India too. The company was in the news for creating 70,000 season positions across its network. "Our commitment towards nurturing and educating MBA talent is long term and for that, we would continue to focus on hiring the right-fit talent consistently and not be influenced by short-term headwinds. This year, given the Covid-19 situation, the ways of working may have changed around us, but our commitment to providing a great learning experience remains the same," says Dipti Varma, Director, HR, Amazon.

However, almost all companies delayed their joining dates. "Companies took time to figure out their virtual on-boarding. E-commerce companies were the first to honour commitments in terms of joining dates, followed by FMCGs. Most consulting companies delayed joining by two-three months. In fact, our students who got jobs with consulting companies are still in the process of joining," points out Abbasali Gabula, Associate Director, External Relations, Bhavan's SPJIMR.

A Different Experience

The pandemic has forced a lot of behavioural changes, one of them being virtual meetings as opposed to physical interactions. Meetings have moved from conference rooms to virtual meeting rooms on Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex. On-boarding of management trainees and summer interns happened digitally this year. "Most of the summer intern recruitments happened prior to the lockdown, but in our case even the selection process for our autumn internship project had to be done virtually," explains Gabula of SPJIMR. "We had faculty and alumni join in to help students prepare virtually, how they should speak, how to react to questions, what kind of lighting should be there.. A detailed explanation was given on how they could make it as close to the physical interview process as possible," he explains.

Most companies also appointed project buddies for their new hires to virtually hand-hold them through the process. "In a physical situation one doesn't need buddies. Since it was virtual on-boarding we felt it was necessary to give them support from the organisation. The initiative has been taken very well, especially by summer interns," says Raj Narayan, CHRO, The Titan Company.

Projects given to summer interns at Amazon this year were crafted keeping in mind the current limitations of working virtually, says Amazon's Varma. "We hosted virtual fireside chats with senior leadership across Amazon as well as within the functional teams, along with office hours and virtual tea and coffee breaks, to stay connected with colleagues. We planned some fun activities to connect interns with alumni and other interns to ensure they receive a positive and well-rounded internship experience... We also assigned buddies and mentors who guided them during their internship and ensured productivity."

A summer or autumn internship typically involves market visits and interactions with customers, based on which interns are expected to do detailed reports. Virtual summer internship projects this year have been meatier than ever before. At Mondelez, says Anam, his project involved the entire marketing campaign of Cadbury Silk. The company also gave him access to its Know-Your-Consumer app to understand buyers' behaviour, their perspective on snacking and nutrition.

"The learning that our students got this year was much better. Since they worked in the new normal, they were given projects for which there were no solutions. They had to do a lot of critical thinking and visualisation. From drafting work-from-home policies to projects on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and omni-channel strategy, it tested their various skill-sets," says Ramesh Bhat, Vice-Chancellor, NMIMS. Bhat is relieved that despite the recessionary market conditions, almost 100 students out of a batch of 586 have procured pre-placement offers.

Shah of IIM Udaipur says the focus on analytics and digital technology came in handy for students this year. He, however, adds: "While the quality of projects was meatier, what they have missed out is the camaraderie they could have built had they done physical projects."

Adaptability & Agility

Be it FMCG companies fast-tracking their focus on sanitsers and disinfectants to meet the growing hygiene demand during the pandemic, apparel majors hastily getting into mask and PPE manufacturing, or automobile companies using their expertise to manufacture life-saving devices such as ventilators, adaptability and agility have been corporate India's biggest takeaway from Covid-19. They are now looking for similar qualities in their talent pool. "Problem-solving skills and openness to learn are key qualities one requires in their talent pipeline. In fact, all these qualities are required to build resilience towards change," says Vempati of Axis Bank.

Amit Sharma, Vice President and Head, HR (India), Volvo Group, says while agility and adaptability are a given in today's times, the company is being careful not to hire talent that is not passionate about the auto industry. "Since our industry is going through a phase of turmoil, we want to look at only those candidates who firmly believe they have a future with us. We need people who are on their toes and not on their heels, those who are able to deal with the change that our industry is going through."

Blue Dart on the other hand, is looking for people willing to roll up their sleeves and work in physical locations. It is among those companies which prefer to hire from campuses in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, rather than going to premium ones. "Tier-II, III campuses suit us well as students there have no qualms to work on the floor even in a situation like this," explains Rajendra Ghag, CHRO, Blue Dart.

The pandemic has made most consumer goods companies focus on their digital and omni-channel strategy like never before. This has created a number of new roles in the digital space. Titan, says Narayan, has increased its hires for omni-channel and e-commerce roles by 25 per cent. There is a clear shift towards hiring for newer skills over legacy skills. "The skill-set focus is on IoT, cognitive tools, machine learning, cloud computing, data science, and data analytics, which are clearly the winners across the digital landscape due to adoption of newer technologies arising from new business models. Additionally, cognitive ability, emotional intelligence, complex problem solving, and ethical thinking are some of the soft skills that will get highlighted in this virtual and dynamic environment," says Nathan of Deloitte.

According to Mohit Gupta, Director, Corporate Relations and Placements, Flame University, companies are looking to hire the 'best-fit' talent that can hit the ground running. "Candidates who can multi-task and are tech savvy to work in a networked set-up will have high chances of absorption. Knowledge of digital tools is a prerequisite. Persevering quick learners with high ethical values to operate in remote environments is the big ask. Analytical skills and problem-solving mindset were important earlier, but now they have been rendered 'must haves' irrespective of specialisations and jobs."

Getting Future Ready

Business schools are getting their students ready on a war-footing in order to be job worthy in tough times. Most of them are hiring senior industry professionals or even getting their alumni to train students. "We are training them to be agile and adaptable to change. We are training them in scenario planning, addressing cost structures and distributive leadership," says Bhat of NMIMS.

SP Jain Global Management's Jain says each of his students, on an average, is receiving 100 hours of multi-disciplinary training from industry experts. "Companies will look out for smart humans who will think differently and strategise better," he adds.

The anxiety of business schools is understandable as there has been a substantial dip in pre-placement offers this year. Even premier institutions such as the IIMs have seen a 30-40 per cent decline. "Out of the 25 students in my batch who interned with consulting companies, only 15 have got pre-placement offers. Around 16 of us interned with FMCG companies and just six-seven have got pre-placement offers," says a second-year student of a leading IIM.

Shah of IIM Udaipur agrees there is a slowdown in pre-placement offers. "Most companies are cutting down hires. So, we will need to reach out to more companies this year than we usually do."

Bhat of NMIMS sounds a little more optimistic. He agrees that hiring commitments for the 2021 batch aren't as high, but companies havent refused to come for final placement either. "This is a positive sign and gives me confidence that the market is on the path of revival."

Will it be business as usual for Indian B-Schools this year? While institutions are keeping their fingers crossed, the industry doesnt want to commit.

27 January 2019 Makeup, Skin Care, & Hair Product Launches You May Have Missed

Ask any beauty industry expert or editor and they'll tell you that January is a big month for beauty. Huge! It's often a time for new brands to introduce themselves to the world and old brands to introduce a flurry of new products. The new year is a time to start fresh, and that can also mean resetting your makeup and skin care routine. Perhaps you made resolutions that have to do with KonMari'ing your medicine cabinet full of old products or have committed to trying more natural beauty brands. Whatever your goal, whatever new product you're hoping to try, January's new beauty launches have you covered, from head to toe and then back again.

If January's launches are any indication for what trends will be big for 2019, we can expect a lot of hemp and CBD skin care, salon or clinic-level at-home treatments, and inclusive makeup ranges. It's a lot to follow, especially if you've been busy keeping up with your resolutions or just simply trying to keep up with the year that's flying by. Lucky for you, we've created a TL;DR list of the best launches of January.

Here are Bustle's picks for what you need to add to your makeup, skin care, and hair routine right now.

Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum

If you aren't already using a vitamin C product in your skin care routine, considering adding Tatcha's new Violet-C brightening serum to your repertoire. Not only will it brighten your skin with 20 percent vitamin C, it'll also improve the texture of dull, uneven skin and diminish dark spots and discoloration with its alpha hydroxy acids.

OGX Green Tea Fitness Shampoo

Some days, no amount of dry shampoo can rescue your sweaty scalp. But before you reach for your regular shampoo, OGX suggests using its newest fitness-focused products. The "shampoo" and "conditioner" are lighter and more gentle on your scalp and strands, so they won't dry you out and will leave you feeling fresh. And regardless if you work out or not, the products are worth trying for the scent alone — the green tea and lotus blend smells incredible.

Maybelline Tattoo Studio Brow Pomade

My favorite way to fill in my brows is using a pomade, but most brow pomades cost at least $20. This new Maybelline product is proving to be more than just an affordable drugstore dupe — it's arguably better than any of the more expensive pomades I typically use! It's got a smooth, buildable and waterproof formula, making it easy to use and long-lasting. For $10, you really can't go wrong.

Supergoop Superscreen Daily Moisturizer

May 2019 be the year you never forget to apply sunscreen before leaving the house. Make it easy on yourself by using this two-in-one product from sunscreen experts Supergoop. Its newest moisturizer provides intense hydration, as well as SPF 40 (!!!) coverage. What's more, it also makes for a great primer under makeup.

Kristin Ess Hair Signature Gloss Temporary Hair Color

January was a big month for celebrity hair stylist Kristin Ess. Not only did she launch a bomb new scalp collection, but she also released at-home hair glosses to extend the life of your color between salon visits. There are five different shades, from "Crystal Quartz" (a clear gloss) to a deeper "Bitter-Sweet" for dark brown hair, so there's something for everyone, whether you're looking to refresh your color or tone down the brassiness of your highlights.

Dr. Jart+ Peptidin™ Radiance Serum with Energy Peptides

If the new year has already worn you out, try Dr. Jart's new Radiance serum to recharge tired, dull skin. It's made with an eight-peptide complex and a peach flower extract, both of which will not only instantly brighten your skin, but will also improve your skin's overall appearance and texture over time.

Benefit Cosmetics Roller Liner Liquid Eyeliner

Brows aren't the only things that Benefit Cosmetics can help you spruce up. The brand's new Roller Liner could be your new favorite liquid liner — it's definitely mine! It's easy to use, thanks to its precision felt tip, and quick to dry so you don't have to worry about smudging as you go. It also leaves a matte finish, not shiny, for a more wearable, everyday look. I personally love the brown shade for a super natural cat eye and haven't stopped using it since I got it.

Jouer Essential Hydrating Clay Mask Dual-action Detox & Replenish

Jouer is continuing its foray into skin care with a new clay mask that works to clarify your skin while also hydrating it at the same time. The Kaolin clay will draw out any skin impurities, but then the olive oil and avocado oil blend will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. It's just the thing to prep your skin before makeup application. Worth noting — it also comes with a sweet little pink brush. So cute!

Yves Saint Laurent Volupté Plump-in-Color Plumping Lip Balm

This new lip balm from Yves Saint Laurent plumps and hydrates while adding a glossy sheen of color. According to the brand, this particular shade, Mad Nude, is a universal nude, meant to work on all skin tones.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm

Elemis took their best-selling deep cleansing balm and added English rose extract to it, which is a more soothing ingredient to those with sensitive skin. It will remove makeup, dirt, and grime, but will leave your skin feeling ultra nourished.

Pixi Beauty Vitamin-C Caviar Balm

Pixi Beauty's new Vitamin-C Caviar Balm leave-on mask is chock-full of vitamins and probiotics the brand claims will boost your collagen production and give your skin an instant glow.

KORA Organics Noni Glow Sleeping Mask

Everyone could use a sleeping mask , especially during these harsh winter conditions. This new launch from Miranda Kerr's beauty brand, Kora Organics, aims to deliver smoother, plumper skin overnight, thanks to its natural ingredients, like silver ear mushroom, coconut milk, and caviar lime extract.

KKW Beauty Classic Red Lipstick and Lip Liner

You rarely see Kim Kardashian West in a non-nude lip, but the beauty mogul decided to venture out of her comfort zone and create a gorgeous classic red lipstick and liner for days when she's feeling like an old Hollywood starlet.

Fleur Marché Beauty Kit

If you're overwhelmed by all of the CBD skin care options out there, you definitely aren't alone. That's why the ladies at LA-based Fleur Marché (who both formerly worked at Goop and are experts in the wellness industry) curated a special CBD beauty kit featuring four products they use and trust. You'll receive Lit Facial Oil by Kana Skincare, CBD Healing Skin Balm by Cannuka, Lip Butter by Vertly, and CBD & Honey Skin Repair Stick by Life Elements in this kit. It comes in a cute makeup pouch with a reusuable clear tote, too.

Summer Fridays R+R Mask

Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores of Summer Fridays have a new mask for Instagram to obsess over — their rose pink R+R Mask. It's got Bulgarian rose, argan oil, rose flower powder, vitamin C, and other skin-smoothing ingredients that promises to feel like "giving your skin a big bouquet of all your favorite facial oils wrapped up in a glow-buffing bow."

OUAI Treatment Masque

Your favorite OUAI hair mask now comes in a tube! It's the same restorative formula you love that'll leave your strands soft and smooth, but you won't have to worry about opening up a new pack every time you want to use it.

Jane Iredale BeautyPrep™ Hyaluronic Serum

If you're looking for a new hyaluronic serum, this new launch from Jane Iredale has not one, but two hyaluronic acids to replenish the moisture in your skin. (Yes, there are different types of hyaluronic acids, so when a product has more than one kind, it means that you're more likely to get more of the hydration benefits!)

elf Hello Hydration! Face Cream

A $12 face cream that works might seem too good to be true, but e.l.f. cosmetics has figured out a way to make hydrating, brightening, and evening out your skin tone easy and affordable. This new Hello Hydration! Face Cream is lightweight and will absorb into your skin quickly, so you don't have to worry about your face feeling sticky or greasy.

Drybar’s On The Rocks Charcoal Scalp Scrub

This new sugar scrub from the hair experts at Drybar is made with activated charcoal and will help to exfoliate and clean your scalp. This means you can get rid of all that dry shampoo and hairspray that's been building-up over the past few days to help promote healthier hair.

NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Powder Foundation

NYX Professional Makeup's Can't Stop Won't Stop foundation did so well among beauty lovers that they extended the collection to not only include a killer concealer, but also a powder version of the foundation. It delivers a velvety-matte finish and comes in 24 different shades.

Urban Decay Brow Blade

Urban Decay cosmetics launched the Streetstyle Brow Collection, which features four different products, but my personal favorite is the Brow Blade, a dual-ended pen/pencil. On one end, it has a thin brush to paint on delicate hair strokes and on the other, a waterproof pencil.

Allies of Skin Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum

If physical exfoliants aren't your thing, consider this new overnight serum from adaptogenic skin care brand Allies of Skin. It's made with a blend of skin brightening acids that work to treat pigmentation, melasma, and breakouts while you sleep.

Kopari Coconut Toothpaste

Kopari is mostly known for their skin care products (plus their lip gloss that Bustle beauty editors can't get enough of) but now they're venturing into dental care! Kopari's new toothpaste is formulated with naturally antimicrobial coconut oil, making it 100 percent natural. It doesn't have fluoride in it, but it does have Hydroxyapatite, an alternative that helps to strengthen and repair tooth enamel.

Lime Crime Venus XL II Eyeshadow Palette

Lime Crime describes this new launch as "the ultimate earthly grunge shadow palette." It's got 18 new shades in four different formulas — matte, metallic, foil, and sheer iridescent. There's a mix of mid-tone neutrals and bold, rich shades so you can create pretty much any eye look imaginable.

Revlon PhotoReady Candid Natural Finish Anti-Pollution Foundation

If you haven't already heard, dermatologists are suspecting that the blue light from our phones and laptops might actually be damaging to our skin, which is why a bunch of brands are launching skin care products that can shield us from our screens. Revlon is the latest to jump in, but instead of a moisturizer or sunscreen, they've created an Anti-Pollution Foundation that will protect your face from blue light and pollutants.

Vital Proteins Collagen Shot

Boost your outer glow within by adding Vital Proteins' new Collagen Shot to your daily routine. It's got collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and biotin — all excellent ingredients that are said to help strengthen your bones, hair, nails, and skin.

Kiehl's Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Herbal Concentrate

It seems like every brand is launching some sort of CBD or hemp-infused beauty product and it can often feel difficult to determine what actually works. Kiehl's newest launch is one you can trust since, well, they've been creating homeopathic products since 1851. This Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Herbal Concentrate can help calm down any redness or inflammation and add moisture to dry, tired skin.

This week, 11/6

Here in Charlottesville (and surrounding counties) the music scene tends to be dominated by bluegrass, cover bands, and mainstream rock. That makes the alternative genres that manage to exist—from hip-hop to metal to punk to jazz—especially valuable. This week, photographer Zack Wajsgras presents a project he’s been working on for several years, documenting the local hip-hop scene.

Like the others, it’s fairly DIY: artists who’ve known each other for years collaborating on projects, putting together their own tours, and recording in local studios. But as our arts writer Erin O’Hare wrote in her piece on hardcore punk, quoting a local musician, “The health of any music scene depends not just on the people playing it, but the people willing to make space for it.”

One of those spaces is 101.3 JAMZ, the area’s only hip-hop radio station. “This is my safe haven,” says Jaquan “DJ Almighty” Middleton. But the station is now under threat.

As we reported a few weeks ago, corporate radio giant Saga Communications, which owns 106.1 The Corner, WINA, and 3WV, among more than a hundred others, has filed a petition with the FCC seeking to deny license renewal to JAMZ and four other local, nonprofit stations. The other stations targeted include WPVC 94.7, a  progressive talk station that also offers the area’s only Spanish language programming.

The Corner’s slogan, ironically, is “Different is good,” but I rarely hear a song on that station that I haven’t heard a hundred times before. Meanwhile, the nonprofits offering
true alternatives could go bankrupt through the cost of fighting Saga’s petition. It’s an apt metaphor for the music scene at large, where maintaining smaller venues to host up-and-coming and less-mainstream acts (like The Ante Room, which closed last year to make way for The Center of Developing Entrepreneurs) is a constant struggle.

The stations have been raising money on air to help fight the petition. Here’s hoping they prevail.

Remember work-life balance – that thing people argue doesn’t exist? To some work-life balance is just an overused buzzword that holds very little weight in the grand scheme of everyday life. To me, work-life balance it’s a lifestyle that involves using your time and energy wisely to prioritize work and personal/lifestyle activities.

Will you ever find the perfect balance? Probably not, but that shouldn’t be your end goal because perfection doesn’t exist. If you’re looking to maintain a realistic work-life balance that you can feel comfortable with, consider these 6 tips.

1. Get on a Schedule

Whether you consider yourself a type A person or not, getting on a regular schedule has many benefits. Planning out your day allows you to prioritize and figure out exactly what you need to do each day.

Simply staying organized can help you avoid getting overwhelmed or overbooking yourself. Be sure to schedule in time for work and lifestyle activities. Schedule in time to go to the gym, spend time with friends, and to make appointments.
Consider getting up a little earlier or doing some extra prep at night to help make your schedule stick.

2. Set Boundaries With Work

Do you ever feel like your work follows you around wherever you go? That’s your fault. It’s important to set firm boundaries with work if you want to have a better work-life balance. Since I work from home on my laptop, I could literally work the entire day if I don’t use my discipline to call it quits at a certain time.

If you’re self-employed and struggle with this as well, set specific work hours for yourself then be unavailable once you “clock out”. Set expectations with clients, customers and your team about your work hours and disconnect and avoid checking email when you’re not supposed to be working. Also, get more comfortable with saying no to things you don’t want to do or don’t have time to do.

3. Set Boundaries With Friends and Family

After setting boundaries with work, you also want to do the same thing with family and friends as well. You know that your entire life can’t be all about fun and relaxation. You have professional goals to reach and happen to manage a business that you love and enjoy.

When you work for yourself, it’s easy for friends and family to misunderstand what you do or judge what your free time must look like. You may receive extra requests from loved ones asking for favors. This used to happen to me a lot and while I wanted to help out, I also didn’t want to fall behind on my schedule and task list for the day either.

This is why you have to have a talk with friends and family regarding your schedule and free time. Coordinate time to indulge with loved ones and be conveniently unavailable when it’s time to crank out work.

4. Practice Self Care

Prioritizing self-care is crucial if you want to have a better work-life balance. You must take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally before you do anything else. Practicing self-care is not about putting a bandaid on larger issues either.

For example, if you’re suffering from burn out, taking an afternoon off to binge watch Netflix and work your way through a tub of ice cream isn’t really an ideal way of practicing self-care. Instead, you should focus on addressing the root issue – which is probably the fact that you’re taking on more work than you can handle.

5. Outsource What You Don’t Enjoy

If you don’t enjoy doing something, as an entrepreneur, you have the power to outsource it to someone else. Outsourcing can do wonders for your work-life balance. It’s impossible to try to do everything yourself.

When you hand off tasks that you don’t like or aren’t good at, you free up more time and energy to do other things.

6. Redefine What Success Means To You

Finally, you’ll want to rethink what success means to you. As I said earlier, there is no such thing as the perfect balance. Those Instagram photos in your feed are overrated and don’t reveal the full picture of someone’s life.

If your definition of success means being busy 24/7 and striving for perfection at all times, you’re not going to be happy or have a really good balance.

Instead, look at your professional and personal goals. Break them down into more attainable chunks, then prioritize them and focus on what’s most important first. You’ll feel more accomplished, less overwhelmed, and will be well on your way to creating a better work-life balance overall.

What are your thoughts on work-life balance? Do you ever do any of these things?
