the same direction, the two vehicles must share the lane. The driver of
the passing truck must be sure to signal, check for traffic, and then
return to the right-hand lane as soon as possible. If both trucks are
unable to fit in the same lane, the passing truck may have to wait until
there is a clear stretch of road ahead before making its move.</p>
<p>This process can contribute to traffic congestion, so it’s important
for drivers to be patient and take their time when passing another
vehicle. By following these simple guidelines, trucks can share the road
safely and efficiently. It’s a situation often referred to as an
elephant race.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://swiftmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/mountain.swiftcom.com/images/sites/5/2016/08/11073711/trucks-atd-021816-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="465" data-original-width="620" height="480" src="https://swiftmedia.s3.amazonaws.com/mountain.swiftcom.com/images/sites/5/2016/08/11073711/trucks-atd-021816-9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<h2>What Dangers Exist When One Commercial Truck Tries to Pass Another?</h2>
<p>Commercial trucks are a familiar sight on highways across the
country. While these massive vehicles play an important role in
commerce, they also pose a significant risk to other motorists. One of
the most dangerous maneuvers that a truck driver can attempt is passing
another truck while traveling in the same direction.</p>
<p>Due to the size and weight of these vehicles, passing another truck
can be difficult and dangerous. If the pass is not executed properly, it
can result in a collision between the two trucks. This type of accident
can cause serious damage and injuries, and it can also lead to traffic
delays as the wreckage is cleared from the roadway. For these reasons,
it is important for drivers to use caution when passing a commercial
truck.</p>
<h2>How Can Drivers Be Safe Around an “Elephant Race?”</h2>
<p>When two trucks are traveling in the same direction, it is important
for drivers to exercise caution. First, it is important to maintain a
safe following distance. If a truck driver needs to brake suddenly, the
driver behind will have plenty of time to react. Second, it is important
to avoid driving in a truck’s blind spot. If a truck driver cannot see
you, then you are at risk of being hit by the truck.</p>
<p>Finally, it is important to use extra caution when passing a truck.
Make sure that you have plenty of room to maneuver before making your
move. By following these simple tips, you can help to keep yourself safe
when sharing the road with large trucks.</p>

details on social media. However, it is important to stay off social
media while you are in the midst of the incident. At times like these,
our emotions can get the better of us and we can say something online
that may not have been wise to say or share.</p><div class="entry-content"><div class="my_blog">
<p>It is important to remember that our words, even online, can have
lasting effects and repercussions that are difficult to take back.
Practicing restraint on social media during this time will not only
protect you from saying something you will regret later but can also
protect all parties involved in the situation. So, when it comes to a
crash or other similar situations, remember to think twice before
updating your status.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.halemonico.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/after-an-accident-stay-off-social-media.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="534" data-original-width="800" height="427" src="https://www.halemonico.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/after-an-accident-stay-off-social-media.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p>
<h1>Insurance Adjusters Can Use Social Media Posts Against Your Claim</h1>
<p>When car owners file a claim for an accident, <a href="https://www.youhurtwefight.com/">insurance adjusters</a> may
scour your social media accounts for posts or photos that can
potentially weaken your case. Even seemingly innocent posts or images
may be misinterpreted and used against you, so it’s important to keep
personal details about your accident off of the internet.</p>
<p>Any post you make related to the accident should be carefully
considered before it’s shared online. Make sure only factual details are
disclosed, as anything else can damage your credibility with the
insurance adjuster. Being transparent is important, but revealing too
much information regarding the specifics of the accident can hurt your
case more than help it, so it’s wise to leave social media out of it
altogether.</p>
<h1>Social Media Can Show Injury History<br />
</h1>
<p>After a severe crash, your injury history may play a much bigger role
in how your claim is handled than you’d expect. Insurance adjusters
have been known to access profiles on sites like Facebook and Twitter to
determine whether an injured party has suffered from any other injuries
in the past. This practice can put claimants at an uneasy disadvantage
if medical records run contrary to postings or descriptions on social
media.</p>
<p>While it may seem unfair, it’s important that car accident victims
document their past medical issues and recent activity so that insurance
companies can conduct an accurate assessment of the damages owed. Be
sure to think twice about the messages shared online — they could easily
be used against you in a court of law because even the most seemingly
harmless statements can be misconstrued.</p>

</h1>
<p>Drinking and driving reduces a driver’s reaction time significantly.
In the event of an unexpected situation on the road, such as when
another vehicle is in their path or coming around a corner, a drunk
driver might not react at all, resulting in a serious collision.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://emilypost.com/client_media/images/blogs/everyday-driving.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="427" data-original-width="640" height="427" src="https://emilypost.com/client_media/images/blogs/everyday-driving.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <p></p>
<p>During spring break, the reduced reaction times caused by
intoxication can be compounded by driver distractions more than usual.
Spring breakers often drive with their friends to different party
hotspots, so the average car can be full of partying people. If the
driver has had a drink and they are talking with their friends in the
car, then their ability to react to traffic changes and hazards on the
road can be entirely eliminated.</p>
<h1>Worsened Motor Skills Lead to Crashes</h1>
<p>Drunk drivers can struggle to drive in a straight line due to their
worsened coordination and motor skills, caused by the effects of
alcohol. The effects of worsened motor skills are especially prominent
when a drunk driver is attempting to navigate a curved road because the
lack of coordination makes it harder for them to precisely follow the
intended path. Even pulling into a parking space can be a challenge for
an intoxicated motorist.</p>
<h1>Increased Spring Break Traffic Hazards</h1>
<p>Spring break can create a dangerous combination of hazards because
there will likely be more drivers overall and more drunk drivers than
usual. A large influx of people traveling during spring break can lead
to an increased number of cars on the road, meaning it is more likely
for an accident to occur due to overcrowding. Drunk drivers on the roads
also inherently make it even more dangerous for other motorists because
drunk drivers are unpredictable due to worsened reaction times and
motor skills. Together, these factors sharply increase the risk of a
crash during spring break in a vacation area or college town.</p>
<h1>Stay Safe During Spring Break</h1>
<p>To stay safe during spring break, drivers should be alert and aware
of their surroundings. Drivers should stay within the speed limit, give
other drivers plenty of space to maneuver if needed, and be prepared to
maneuver away from drivers who appear to be intoxicated. If possible,
avoid driving during peak hours such as late in the evening or very
early morning, when there are more likely to be intoxicated drivers on
the roads.</p>
<p>If an intoxicated driver is encountered on the road, allow them to
pass and do not attempt to engage with them. When it is safe to do so,
pull over well away from the road, such as into a parking lot, and
report the drunk driver to the police. Your call could be what prevents a
<a href="https://www.youhurtwefight.com"> drunk driving accident</a> that would’ve sent someone to the hospital or
worse.

roads. Whether you’re navigating a busy city street or driving through
the countryside, following safety guidelines can help everyone enjoy the
roads safely. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Pattern_shift_20110708391_029.jpg/1200px-Pattern_shift_20110708391_029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Pattern_shift_20110708391_029.jpg/1200px-Pattern_shift_20110708391_029.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p><div class="my_blog">
<h1>Why are There More Cyclists in the Spring?</h1>
<p>
Springtime is an ideal time for motorcyclists and cyclists to take to
the road. The days are longer, with more daylight, and the weather is
warmer. This makes it easier to stay out all day, travel longer
distances, and explore areas that were otherwise inaccessible during the
cold winter months. With more people choosing two-wheeled vehicles as a
means of transportation or recreation, it’s no surprise that the roads
become busier in spring compared to other seasons.</p>
<h1>Share the Road with Everyone This Spring</h1>
<p>
As a motorist, it’s important to safely share the road with cyclists and
motorcyclists in the springtime to ensure everyone’s safety.
Motorcyclists and cyclists are much smaller than cars, so they can be
harder to spot. This makes them susceptible to crashes and other risky
situations if motorists aren’t paying attention. Additionally, cyclists
and motorcyclists don’t have the same protection as drivers in larger
cars, so any kind of collision could potentially cause <a class="para-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230529051512/https://www.youhurtwefight.com/personal-injury/catastrophic-injuries/">serious injury</a> or even <a class="para-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230529051512/https://www.youhurtwefight.com/personal-injury/wrongful-death/">death</a>. By following safe driving practices, we can all enjoy the roads safely during the year’s freshest season.</p>
<h1>How to Safely Share the Road with Spring Cyclists</h1>
<p><b>A few road-sharing safety tips for all spring drivers, cyclists, and motorcyclists include:</b></p>
<div class="my_blog">
<ul class="blog_ul"><li>Drivers should always be alert and aware of cyclists and
motorcyclists on the road. Keep an eye out for smaller vehicles in your
mirrors and blind spots and give them ample space when passing or
turning.</li><li>Cyclists and motorcyclists should stay in their lanes and use proper
hand signals when turning if their vehicles are not equipped with turn
signals. They should also yield to other vehicles as needed.</li><li>All drivers, cyclists, and motorcyclists should follow all traffic laws, including speed limits, stop signs, turn signals, etc.</li><li>All road users should try to maintain a safe distance from one another to avoid potential collisions.</li><li>Cyclists should use designated bike lanes where available.</li><li>Motorcyclists should take an annual rider’s safety training course
each spring, which acts as a refresher for the proper way to safely
handle a motorcycle when in busy traffic.</li></ul>
</div>
<h1>Let a Lawyer Help If There’s a Crash</h1>
<p>No matter much you plan to stay safe and share the road with others
this spring, you never can know when others won’t do the same. Accidents
can happen, and it can be confusing to know who is to blame: a
motorist, a cyclist, or a motorcyclist.
</p>
<p>
An attorney can help figure out who is liable in a crash involving a
motorist and a cyclist or motorcyclist by carefully examining the
circumstances of the incident and applicable laws. They can look into
factors such as who had the right of way at the time of the accident,
any traffic violations that may have occurred, and other details to
determine if either party was negligent or not. Additionally, an
attorney can provide legal guidance throughout the process and help
their client pursue a fair settlement or award.

</h1><div class="entry-content"><div class="my_blog">
<p>After any kind of auto accident, it is important to remain alert and
exercise extreme caution due to the potential of danger from the other
driver. This is especially true when approaching a drunk driver that has
been involved in a crash. It is possible they may be impaired,
exhibiting aggressive behavior, or might even pass out in the vehicle.
Therefore, it is important to stay back and call law enforcement if you
witness an incident involving a drunk driver. Even if you were not
directly involved in the accident yourself and are just conveniently
passing by – stay back, be aware, and keep a safe distance until proper
help arrives at the scene. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youhurtwefight.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/the-three-types-of-distracted-driving-jpg.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://www.youhurtwefight.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/the-three-types-of-distracted-driving-jpg.webp" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p>
<h1>
Contact Law Enforcement to Get the Drunk Driver’s Information<p></p>
</h1>
<p>
Most people do not think about it until it is too late, but if you are
in an accident where alcohol was a factor and the other driver was
intoxicated, it is essential that you contact law enforcement to get the
other driver’s information. This step is important for obtaining
compensation for your medical and property damage costs, as insurance
companies will not handle these issues without valid proof of who caused
the accident.</p>
<p>
In addition, reporting the incident to the police can help ensure that
justice is served and protect both yourself and others from similar
situations. Furthermore, a concerned citizen stepping up to report drunk
driving can make a big difference in their community. If you have been
affected by a crash involving a drunk driver, contacting law enforcement
could be a critical, yet powerful step towards justice.
</p>
<h1>
Lock Your Vehicle If the Drunk Driver Seems Aggressive<br />
</h1>
<p>
If you have been involved in a crash with a drunk driver, it is
important to always stay safe and not relax your guard. Always keep the
safety of yourself and your passengers in mind by making sure to lock
your vehicle if the drunk driver seems aggressive. It’s likely that the
driver may be impaired and their judgment and decision-making process
will be significantly skewed, so it’s better to arm yourself with
caution rather than carelessness as soon as an incident with a drunk
driver occurs. By locking your vehicle doors, you can ensure that nobody
can quickly enter your car while also giving you time to assess the
situation more carefully and react accordingly.
</p>
<h1>
Get a Lawyer to Understand Your Rights After a Drunk Driving Accident<p></p>
</h1>
<p>
After a drunk driving accident, it is important to <a href="https://www.youhurtwefight.com">seek legal help from an experienced lawyer</a> who can help you understand your legal rights and
guide you through any claims or court proceedings following the
incident. In such a difficult time, having professional help with
understanding what may be owed to you for medical expenses or car
repairs can be invaluable. Moreover, if you have been wronged by the
at-fault driver, a lawyer can provide expertise on how to determine
fault and secure compensation for your resulting damages. Having someone
knowledgeable of the laws on your side will ensure that everything is
handled fairly, quickly and with the best result possible.

Document the Accident Scene
</h1><div class="entry-content"><div class="my_blog">
<p>Immediately after a car accident, it is crucial to gather as much evidence as possible to support your claim. This can include:</p>
<ul class="blog_ul"><li>
Taking photos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, skid marks, and any debris<p></p>
</li><li>
Collecting contact information from witnesses who saw the accident<p></p>
</li><li>
Obtaining a copy of the police report<p></p>
</li></ul>
<p>Having this documentation can be invaluable when it comes to proving
fault in your car accident claim, as well as determining the extent of
your damages.</p>
<h1>
2. Seek Medical Attention<p></p>
</h1>
<p>Even if you do not feel injured immediately after an accident, it is
essential to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Some injuries
may not be apparent right away, and delaying medical treatment can harm
your claim. Make sure to keep all medical records and bills related to
your accident, as they will be crucial in determining the value of your
claim.</p>
<h1>
3. Notify Your Insurance Company<br />
</h1>
<p>After a car accident, it is essential to notify your insurance
company as soon as possible. Failing to do so can result in a denial of
your claim. When speaking with your insurance company, be honest about
the accident but avoid admitting fault or providing a detailed
statement. Keep in mind that insurance adjusters are trained to minimize
payouts, so it is in your best interest to consult with an experienced
car accident attorney before discussing your claim with the insurance
company.</p>
<h1>
4. Understand Florida’s No-Fault Insurance Laws<br />
</h1>
<p>Florida is a no-fault insurance state, which means that your
insurance company will cover your medical expenses and lost wages up to
your policy limits, regardless of who was at fault for the accident.
However, to recover damages for pain and suffering, you must meet the
serious injury threshold under Florida law. This threshold is met if you
have suffered significant and permanent loss of an important bodily
function, permanent injury, significant and permanent scarring or
disfigurement, or death.</p>
<h1>
5. Consult with a Car Accident Attorney<p></p>
</h1>
<p>Navigating the complexities of car accident claims in Jacksonville
can be challenging, especially when dealing with insurance companies and
their tactics to minimize payouts. An experienced car accident attorney
can help you navigate this process and ensure that you receive the
compensation you deserve. The Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. specialize

<p>
One of the most critical decisions you’ll face is whether to <a class="para-link" href="https://www.youhurtwefight.com/personal-injury/truck-accidents/">hire a truck accident lawyer</a>
to handle your case. Let’s discuss why seeking legal representation is
crucial after a truck accident and what a skilled lawyer can do to
support you during this challenging time.</p>
<h2>Understanding the Complexity of Truck Accident Cases</h2>
<p> Truck accident cases differ significantly from standard car
accidents due to their complexity. Commercial trucks are subject to
extensive regulations, and multiple parties may be liable for the
accident, such as the trucking company, driver and maintenance provider.
A qualified truck accident attorney has experience navigating these
complexities and can effectively handle the intricacies of your case.</p>
<h2>Preserving Evidence and Conducting Investigations</h2>
<p> It’s important to act fast after a truck accident. Vital evidence
needs to be preserved before it disappears. A dedicated lawyer will act
swiftly to gather evidence, such as accident scene photographs,
surveillance footage, black box data and witness statements. Their
expertise allows them to <a class="para-link" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_collision_reconstruction" rel="noopener" target="_blank">reconstruct the accident to determine liability </a>accurately.</p>
<h2>Determining Liability and Fault</h2>
<p> Proving fault in a truck accident case isn’t always easy. An
experienced lawyer will carefully analyze the evidence, trucking company
records, maintenance logs and driver’s hours of service to establish
liability. They can identify instances of driver negligence, trucking
company violations or inadequate maintenance, strengthening your claim
for compensation.</p>
<h2>Handling Insurance Companies</h2>
<p> Insurance companies are known for trying to settle claims quickly
and for the lowest possible amount. Having a lawyer by your side can
level the playing field. Your attorney will handle all communication
with the insurance company, ensuring your rights are protected, and you
receive a fair settlement that adequately covers your damages.</p>
<h2>Calculating Comprehensive Damages</h2>
<p> Truck accidents often result in significant medical expenses,
lost wages, property damage and pain and suffering. An experienced truck
accident lawyer understands the full extent of the damages you may be
entitled to claim. They can accurately assess your losses, both current
and future, to <a class="para-link" href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/personal-injury/injury-compensation/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">seek maximum compensation on your behalf</a>.</p>
<h2>Negotiating a Fair Settlement</h2>
<p> Many truck accident cases are resolved through negotiations
before going to trial. A skilled lawyer knows how to negotiate with the
insurance company or defense attorneys to secure a fair settlement. They
will fight for your best interests and advocate for the compensation
you deserve. If an agreement can’t be reached, your lawyer will be
prepared to take your case to court.</p>
<h2>Schedule Your Free Consultation Today</h2>
<p> After a truck accident, you’ll want to seek legal representation
to safeguard your rights and secure fair compensation. A knowledgeable
and experienced truck accident lawyer will guide you through the complex
legal process, build a strong case on your behalf and fight for fair
compensation.<br />

Over time, however, terrazzo floors can become dull, stained, or damaged due to heavy foot traffic and wear and tear. This is where restoration comes into play as an essential process to revive the original shine and luster of terrazzo floors. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/A2807-15-Examples-of-innovative-Restoration-in-Architecture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="520" data-original-width="800" height="416" src="https://www.re-thinkingthefuture.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/A2807-15-Examples-of-innovative-Restoration-in-Architecture.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://www.poshfloors.com/">Terrazzo Restoration west London</a> plays a crucial role in maintaining the authenticity of historic buildings. This process involves cleaning, repairing, and refinishing terrazzo floors to bring back their original beauty while preserving their historical significance. A study conducted by the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association found that restoring terrazzo can extend its lifespan by up to 100 years. By investing in restoration rather than replacement, building owners can not only save money but also uphold the architectural integrity of these structures.<br /><br />One example showcasing the effectiveness of terrazzo restoration is the Empire State Building in New York City. Built in 1931, this iconic landmark features an impressive lobby adorned with intricate terrazzo flooring. Over time, wear and tear had taken a toll on this historical masterpiece. However, instead of replacing it entirely, experts were employed to restore its former glory through meticulous grinding and polishing techniques.<br /><br />Research conducted by experts in the field reveals that regular maintenance and restoration not only enhance the visual appeal but also extend the lifespan of terrazzo floors. The National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association (NTMA) suggests that periodic professional cleaning followed by polishing can effectively remove dirt buildup while restoring the glossy finish. Furthermore, data from a study published in Construction Technology Today demonstrates that proper restoration techniques significantly improve slip resistance on polished terrazzo surfaces by creating micro-textures on its surface without compromising its smoothness.<br /><br />In addition to enhancing aesthetics and increasing safety through improved slip resistance, terrazzo restoration also offers economic benefits. A case study conducted by Facility Executive magazine found that restoring existing terrazzo floors was more cost-effective than replacing them entirely with new materials such as ceramic tiles or carpeting. The study concluded that Terrazzo Restoration west London costs were approximately 50% less compared to replacement expenses while still achieving similar results.<br /><br />Furthermore, it is worth noting that apart from these practical advantages, preserving historical integrity plays a significant role when considering terrazzo restoration. Many buildings constructed during mid-century periods feature stunning original terrazzo floors which have stood the test of time but may require some refurbishment now. By investing in professional restorations instead of opting for complete replacements with modern alternatives like vinyl or laminate flooring options preserves both architectural heritage and sustainability efforts.<br /><br />To summarize, maintaining well-preserved terrazzo flooring requires periodic restorations. Not only does this process enhance the visual appeal and longevity of terrazzo floors, but it also improves safety by enhancing slip resistance. Research and case studies consistently demonstrate that restoration is a cost-effective solution compared to complete replacements while preserving historical integrity and sustainable practices. Therefore, it is evident that terrazzo restoration holds paramount importance in ensuring the continued beauty, functionality, and value of these unique flooring materials.<p></p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281910139590772252.post-41771393119150322282023-07-29T04:03:00.001-07:002023-07-29T04:03:27.924-07:00The Benefits of Hiring Experienced Minibus Drivers: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency<p>The importance of hiring bus services cannot be overstated, especially when considering the convenience and cost-effectiveness they offer. According to a study conducted by the American Bus Association Foundation, moto-rcoach travel is one of the most affordable modes of transportation for both short and long trips. This is particularly advantageous for large groups such as schools or organizations planning excursions or field trips on a tight budget. Additionally, bus services provide numerous amenities that enhance comfort during travel, including spacious seating arrangements, onboard restrooms, climate control systems, and entertainment options like Wi-Fi connectivity. These features make bus journeys more enjoyable and relaxing compared to other means of transport like driving or flying.</p><p><a href="https://www.delhirentacar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/van.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="297" data-original-width="530" src="https://www.delhirentacar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/van.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Another advantage worth mentioning is the environmental benefits associated with utilizing bus services instead of individual vehicles. Research from De-Paul University found that each full motor-coach has the potential to remove approximately 55 cars from congested roads—reducing traffic congestion and lowering carbon emissions significantly. With growing concerns about climate change and sustainability efforts gaining traction worldwide, opting for shared transportation options like buses plays an essential role in reducing our ecological footprint.<br /><br />Minibuses provide a safer mode of transport compared to other alternatives such as taxis or public buses. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), larger vehicles like minibuses have lower fatality rates per passenger mile than smaller vehicles due to their enhanced structural design and safety features. Additionally, the spaciousness of these vehicles allows for comfortable travel experiences for passengers who may otherwise feel cramped in crowded public transportation options or rely on carpooling arrangements with limited legroom. In conclusion, based on both research findings and practical evidence, investing in a 16 seater minibus hire Brentwood proves essential for efficient group transportation while addressing environmental concerns and ensuring passenger safety.<br /><br />Furthermore, hiring professional drivers through <a href="https://1steventlimousines.co.uk/">16 seater minibus hire Brentwood</a> services ensures safety on the road. A report published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration shows that buses have significantly lower fatality rates per passenger mile than cars or motorcycles. The strict regulations imposed on commercial carriers ensure that drivers undergo thorough training programs and maintain high levels of professionalism while operating vehicles. Moreover, these companies regularly inspect their fleet to guarantee compliance with safety standards set by relevant authorities.<br /></p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281910139590772252.post-84404299821453036012023-06-12T05:51:00.005-07:002023-06-12T05:51:51.442-07:00Here's The Lowdown On How To Take A Picture That Looks Like A Million Bucks<div style="line-height: 200%; margin: 12pt 0cm; text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: black; line-height: 200%;">Figuring

DIY Tooth Filing Tooth filing using nail files, sandpaper, handheld
power tools, etc is an alarmingly unsafe idea that’s been trending on
social media platforms like Tik Tok and YouTube. Such practice causes
irreparable damage and destruction to teeth. Dentists use proven tooth
filing techniques that have been researched for years, if not decades. A

Aligning teeth is something one should leave to the professionals.
Dentists carefully assess a patient’s full medical & dental history,
then design custom-fit aligners that work wonders without restricting
the structures around the tooth. Remote alignment services or DIY
Aligners lack one-on-one professional care. These unsupervised dental
solutions come at low-cost but prove to be a costly mistake in the long
run. Many Orthodontists have witnessed patients who have developed gum
diseases, cavities and tooth loss due to direct-to-customer
orthodontics. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5694079 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default nitro-offscreen" data-element_type="section" data-id="5694079"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8066da1" data-element_type="column" data-id="8066da1"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-536f7d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-element_type="widget" data-id="536f7d0" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-d00c8a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-element_type="widget" data-id="d00c8a0" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">DIY Restorations</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-d3fa4aa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-element_type="widget" data-id="d3fa4aa" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container">
Believe it or not, some people use materials like wax and store-bought
adhesives to ‘fix’ their restorations. Glues have toxic compounds which
can cause serious damage to the tooth and surround tissue. One must
never try to poke, prod, and scrape cavities or restorations in an
attempt to ‘fix’ them. Such attempts permanently damage the restoration
or introduce infections or cause an abscess. DIY methods often bury the
underlying cause and extend the amount of professional care needed which
proves to be a costly affair in the long term. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d74444b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default nitro-offscreen" data-element_type="section" data-id="d74444b"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-073a511" data-element_type="column" data-id="073a511"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-06ae8ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-element_type="widget" data-id="06ae8ba" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-0acfd81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-element_type="widget" data-id="0acfd81" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"> DIY Extractions </h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-41ceb89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-element_type="widget" data-id="41ceb89" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container">
Toothache isn’t easy to handle, but DIY tooth extraction sounds like
something nightmares are made of. Tooth extraction is a form of surgery,
and surgery comes with the risk of complications. Only a certified
dental surgeon must assess the underlying cause of toothache &
attempt a tooth extraction. Few popular culture DIY extractions methods
are, using pliers, using a string tied to a door, etc. Described as
creative on the web, these methods are rather medieval which cause
infection, excessive bleeding, gum damage, serious damage to other teeth

Misaligned teeth make it hard for you to chew properly. Human
teeth are designed for different functions of chewing. Misaligned teeth
hinder the function, leading to digestion problems. Proper chewing is
necessary for the breakdown of nutrients for your body. Hence, crooked
teeth can negatively impact your intake of nutrients causing a negative
impact on your immune system and overall health. </div>

Crooked teeth throw your bite off-balance & put pressure on
your jaw muscles. Temporomandibular joints connected to your lower jaw
move smoothly when there is a perfect alignment of teeth. Crooked teeth
restrict the TMJ’s smooth movement. This leads to a condition called TMJ
disorder which gives way to chronic headaches & migraines. </div>

Crooked teeth don’t allow bristles of the toothbrush to reach in
all places, which leaves more room for bacteria to sneak in. Bacteria
that survive the cleaning process start to build on and around the teeth
which lead to deep pockets in your gums. The bacteria thrive in these
pockets which leads the way to various dental complications like gum
disease called periodontitis which can eventually lead to tooth loss.

Bacteria that thrive due to crooked teeth cause gum diseases
& can travel through the bloodstream. When these bacteria reach the
heart, it can result in cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies suggest
that people with moderate to advanced stages of gum diseases are at
greater risk for heart disease. Researchers have uncovered oral bacteria
in the fatty deposits of people with atherosclerosis, a disease in
which plaque builds up in the arteries. When untreated, these deposits
can narrow arteries, causing a heart attack or stroke.

Crooked teeth allow the breeding of bad bacteria in your mouth.
Such bacteria in the mouth can reach the lungs and cause infections such

pneumonia in people with higher numbers of deep gum pockets which can be
a result of crooked teeth. Crooked teeth can also cause airway problems

This is untrue. Teeth whitening does not ‘corrode or melt’ the enamel
when the procedure is done correctly. Inappropriate proportions or
leaving it for a long duration can give poor results. It is true that
few experience sensitivity immediately after the whitening, that
subsides after some time. However, the use of over the counter
experiments and DIY whitening products could cause tooth damage. To
avoid damage to the enamel, make sure you choose a professional dentist
who uses safe and approved methods for teeth whitening. We offer many
options for Teeth Whitening in Calgary, including ZOOM! In office

No, it does not. The teeth whitening procedure is supposed to be
performed on natural teeth before you go for restorations or crowns.
Porcelain restorations and veneers are then matched to your whitened
teeth. So, if you are planning to get veneers, crowns, or fillings,

them. Otherwise, you may need to get them redone after your teeth are

professional dentist uses protective gel for your gums to shield them
from the whitening agent that can irritate the soft tissue. However, you

quite serious in nature and need immediate treatment and get <a href="https://expressionsdental.ca/services/emergency-dental-care/">dental emergency services</a>.</p> <p>Some dental emergencies are as follows: –</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-7e9b32a/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Untitled-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="283" data-original-width="800" height="226" src="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-7e9b32a/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Untitled-1-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Chipped or Broken Teeth</h2> <p>Accidents
or other untoward incidents may cause the tooth to break or chip. It is
possible to save a broken tooth if you visit the dentist quickly. For
minor chips, the damage can be easily fixed by your dentist. However,
for serious cases, a root canal or a cap may be required to lend support
to the damaged tooth.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Knocked-out Tooth</h2> <p>A
tooth that gets dislodged or knocked-out of its socket can be salvaged
if you visit your dentist quickly. An adult, knocked-out, tooth which
gets put back in its place in 10 minutes has a fair chance of being able
to function normally again. The further the delay in visiting your
dentist for a knocked-out tooth, the more difficult it becomes for your
dentist to salvage the knocked-out tooth. Please look for ‘emergency
dental services’ to find your nearest dentist.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Toothache</h2> <p>A toothache may be due to an infection in the gums or other reasons. If you <a data-id="6167" data-type="post" href="https://expressionsdental.ca/causes-of-a-toothache/">experience a toothache</a>,
it is advisable to visit your dentist at the earliest. A cold pack can
be applied on the face, at the spot of the toothache, however, warm
packs should be avoided as it will worsen the toothache.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bitten Lip or Tongue</h2> <p>If
you accidentally bite your tongue or lip and you experience bleeding
which does not stop, it is advised to apply pressure on the area with a
clean piece of cloth and immediately see your dentist. Swelling in the
lips can be treated by applying ice to it.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Loose Crown or Fillings</h2> <p>If
your filling or an existing crown comes off, or becomes loose, it is
suggested to visit your dentist at the earliest. This will ensure your
dentist can prevent any further damage from occurring to the already
weakened tooth. Placing sugar-free chewing gum over the damaged tooth
can also provide temporary protection while you visit your dentist.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trapped Particles</h2> <p>If
you are unable to remove a particle trapped in between your teeth using
a string of dental floss (sharp articles must not be used as it may
damage the tooth or gums), visit your dentist so that they can remove
the particle safely. Please search for ‘<a data-id="13183" data-type="post" href="https://expressionsdental.ca/what-is-considered-a-dental-emergency/">emergency dental services</a>’ to find a dentist near you.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Broken Braces or Wires</h2> <p>If
your braces come off for any reason, the wires may protrude and cause
injuries to your cheek, tongue, or gums. To avoid such injuries, visit
your dentist at the earliest so that they can take corrective action.</p> <p>These are a <a href="https://www.healthforteens.co.uk/health/in-an-emergency/7-most-common-medical-emergencies/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">few common emergencies</a>
that occur mostly. However, dental emergencies can come in any shape or
form. If any discomfort or pain in your mouth does not subside after 24
hours please search for emergency dental services to find your nearest
dentist.</p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281910139590772252.post-35463178108295906432023-06-01T05:37:00.001-07:002023-06-11T05:39:11.491-07:00What services can a General Dentist provide?<p>General dentists are students of dental sciences who have graduated
from an accredited dental school and hold a degree in general dentistry.
A general dentist will provide you with preventive dental check-ups,
ensure any dental disorder is treated at the earliest, offer
professional cleanings, and restorative services to name a few.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-7e9b32a/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/DSC_8101-2048x1356.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="530" data-original-width="800" height="424" src="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-7e9b32a/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/DSC_8101-2048x1356.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p> <p>A
general dentist would ideally provide a wide range of dental services.
However, on rare occasions when faced with a complex case, they may need
to refer you to a specialist for further treatment. The following
dental services would come in the realm of a general dentist: –</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wisdom Teeth Extraction</h2> <p>Since
your wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, there is
inadequate space for them to erupt properly in the gums. This may cause
them to erupt partially, or grind against other teeth and cause
discomfort. A general dentist can do a wisdom teeth extraction, though
certain cases may be referred to an oral surgeon. If you are being
bothered by a wisdom tooth, please search for <a href="https://expressionsdental.ca/">general dentist Calgary NW</a> to find your nearest dentist.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tooth Extraction</h2> <p class="nitro-offscreen">At
times, decay, or other uncontrollable causes can impair the function of
your natural tooth. The damage could be to such an extent that it
becomes difficult to restore them, requiring tooth extraction. Your
general dentist can assess the health of your tooth and may suggest an
extraction if restorative procedures are not possible.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading nitro-offscreen">Restorative Dentistry</h2> <p class="nitro-offscreen">Restorative
dentistry includes adding strength to a weakened tooth through crowns,
veneers, etc. This damage may be due to decay, dental or gum diseases,
or other reasons. This is widely followed by dentists to save the
natural tooth and prevent it from further damage. </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading nitro-offscreen">Root Canal Treatment</h2> <p class="nitro-offscreen">A
tooth where decay has infected the pulp of the tooth needs to be
treated by following a Root Canal procedure. In this the infected pulp
is removed, the cavity filled with a tooth-friendly material, and
finally, a crown (also called a cap) is placed on the tooth to add
support to the damaged natural tooth. A general dentist can perform a
root canal treatment, though they may need to refer you to an
endodontist (root canal specialist) for complex cases. If you are
suffering from a toothache, please search for a general dentist Calgary
NW to visit your nearby dentist.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading nitro-offscreen">Botox Treatment</h2> <p class="nitro-offscreen">A
general dentist can offer Botox treatment to reduce wrinkles, crows’
feet, and fine lines. Once a Botox treatment is given, the results are
visible within 2 weeks and can last up to 4 months.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading nitro-offscreen">Other Services</h2> <p class="nitro-offscreen">A
general dentist can also offer other services like in-office or at-home
teeth whitening, sedation services, TMJ treatment, Micro Needling,
dentures, and x-rays. Please reach out to your general dentist to know
the entire range of services they offer.</p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281910139590772252.post-48158469083903911272023-05-19T20:19:00.000-07:002023-05-19T20:19:02.186-07:00What is Integrative Medicine?<p>Integrative Medicine is an approach to healthcare that combines conventional medical practices with complementary and alternative therapies to address the whole person, including their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. The care givers aim to provide individualized and holistic care by considering the patient's unique needs and preferences, as well as their social, environmental, and cultural background. This approach recognizes that health and illness are influenced by a wide range of factors, including lifestyle, nutrition, stress, genetics, and environmental exposures, and seeks to address these factors through a variety of modalities.</p><p><a href="https://theflourishcenter.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/3-WHAT-IS-INTEGRATIVE-MEDICINE_-4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="799" data-original-width="800" height="639" src="https://theflourishcenter.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/3-WHAT-IS-INTEGRATIVE-MEDICINE_-4.png" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://drnoble.com/">Integrative Medicine Boca FL</a> has evolved over time as a response to the limitations of conventional medicine and the growing interest in complementary and alternative therapies. Integrative Medicine may include a wide range of therapies, including acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, herbal medicine, mind-body techniques, and nutritional and lifestyle interventions. These therapies are often used in combination with conventional medical treatments to support the body's natural healing processes and promote overall health and well-being.<br /><br />Integrative Medicine is important because it offers a more comprehensive and personalized approach to healthcare, which can improve health outcomes and quality of life for individuals. Here are some of the key reasons why Integrative Medicine is important:</p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><b>Holistic Approach</b>: Integrative Medicine recognizes that health and illness are influenced by a wide range of factors, including physical, emotional, and spiritual factors. By taking a holistic approach, Integrative Medicine practitioners can address the whole person, rather than just focusing on individual symptoms or diseases.</li><li><b>Personalized Care</b>: Integrative Medicine practitioners aim to provide individualized care that takes into account each patient's unique needs, preferences, and circumstances. This personalized approach can improve treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.</li><li><b>Integrative Therapies</b>: Integrative Medicine offers a wide range of complementary and alternative therapies that can be used in combination with conventional medical treatments. These therapies can help to manage symptoms, reduce side effects of treatments, and support overall health and wellness.</li><li><b>Prevention</b>: Integrative Medicine focuses on prevention by promoting healthy lifestyle choices, such as exercise, nutrition, stress management, and mind-body techniques. By focusing on prevention, Integrative Medicine can help individuals avoid chronic diseases and improve their overall health and quality of life.</li><li><b>Patient-Centered</b>: Integrative Medicine places the patient at the center of the healthcare experience, encouraging active participation in treatment decisions and empowering individuals to take control of their own health.</li></ol>The mind-body connection was recognized as an important aspect of health and illness in the 1980s and 1990s, leading to the development of mind-body therapies such as meditation, biofeedback, and relaxation techniques. The evolution of Integrative Medicine reflects a growing recognition of the limitations of conventional medicine and the importance of a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare. It has also been shaped by advances in research, technology, and cultural attitudes towards health and wellness.<br /><br />Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281910139590772252.post-49684298438818430582023-05-18T03:55:00.001-07:002023-08-16T03:56:10.070-07:00 What is a Root Canal?<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">A root
canal is a dental procedure to repair and save an injured or infected
tooth and prevent future infection. The treatment includes removing the
infected part of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and shaping it and
thereafter filling and sealing it. The cause of pulp damage maybe tooth
injury, a root cavity, recurring dental procedures, decay, or a broken
tooth. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-50583f7/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/What-is-a-Root-Canal-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="800" height="218" src="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-50583f7/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/What-is-a-Root-Canal-1.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br />As per National Institute of Health, a <a href="https://www.expressionsdental.ca/">dentist</a>
performs a root canal on your tooth to save it from underlying
bacteria, microorganisms, endotoxins, and decayed or dead tissues in it.

Cleaning the root canal</b></span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Firstly, the dentist cleans the root canal by removing everything that is inside it.</span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">The
patient is given a suitable dosage of local anesthesia and the dentist
creates a small hole in the tooth surface to completely remove the dead
and infected pulp tissue using tiny files. </span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"><b>2. Filling the root canal</b></span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">The
next step is to clean, shape and disinfect the vacant area, with small
files and irrigation solutions. Then, a rubber-like stuffing is filled
in the tooth, using an adhesive cement to close off the canals.</span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">The
root canal therapy makes the tooth dead. The patient can no longer
sense any kind of pain or sensation in that tooth because of nerve
tissue removal, and the elimination of infection. </span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;"><b>3. Adding a crown or filling</b></span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">After
this step in the root canal procedure, the tooth becomes fragile. A
tooth without pulp has diminished nourishment and eventually becomes
brittle. A filling is required after a root canal treatment and a crown
may be recommended to protect the tooth.</span></span></p> <p class="western" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Ideally,
the root canal treatment will save the infected or damaged tooth from
further infection and relieve the pain caused due to it. If the damage
is beyond control and the tooth cannot be saved, the tooth may have to
be extracted. But, it is always advisable to protect your natural teeth
against decay or damage because nothing functions as good as an original
tooth. </span></span></p>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281910139590772252.post-17964373777866961142023-05-06T00:30:00.001-07:002023-05-20T03:57:31.315-07:00 Don’t get hacked off by Cyber-crime!<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Don’t assume that just because you are a small to medium sized
business, that you won’t be targeted by cyber criminals. The hotel,
restaurant and hospitality and leisure sectors are possibly more
vulnerable because of having small IT teams and a lack of knowledge
around protection and best-practice.</span></p><div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cyber criminals look for the easiest and fastest way to be
successful. By attacking at the weakest link, or accessing via your
supply chain, cyber criminals use small businesses as an entry point to
move higher up the business ‘food-chain’.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">More than <a href="https://www.smetoday.co.uk/sponsored-content/half-of-uk-smes-suffering-cyber-attacks/">half (54%) of SMEs in the UK had experienced some form of cyber-attack in 2022</a>. Around <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=statistics+in+UK+for+cyber+attacks+on+SME&rlz=1C1GCEB_enGB981GB981&oq=statistics+in+UK+for+cyber+attacks+on+SME&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i160l3.12536j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#:~:text=Around%2065%2C000%20attempts%20to%20hack%20small%2D%20to%20medium%2Dsized%20businesses%20(SMBs)%20occur%20in%20the%20UK%20every%20day%2C%20around%204%2C500%20of%20which%20are%20successful">65,000 attempts to hack</a> small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) occur in the UK every day, around 4,500 of which are successful.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/cybersecurity%20(1)1_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/cybersecurity%20(1)1_large.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> <strong>Hospitality is targeted for two reasons</strong></span><p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">It has been found that those in the food and hospitality industry are
19% more likely than the average business to offer online payment
options, and 11% more likely to use network connected devices. This
combination means there are more possible entry points to better quality
data sets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2022/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2022">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2022/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2022</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">It’s understood that 31% of all retail and hospitality businesses
have experienced some form of security or data breach. And the majority –
89% – have experienced more than one attack per year. This suggests
that those with vulnerable networks or processes are likely to be
targeted again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.securitymagazine.com/articles/96515"><em>www.securitymagazine.com/articles/96515</em></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Many leisure sector businesses outsource services such as Payroll,
employees benefit packages or ICT or network support. If the level of
access a vendor or contractor has to your data or network, is not
controlled properly breaches can happen, and do, frequently. You could
become a victim of extortion, phishing attacks, social engineering or
your website could get hacked.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong> </strong><strong>Humans are the weakest link</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">From a data security perspective, employees are one of the biggest risks to business. Research has shown that more that <a href="https://www.hutsix.io/human-error-in-information-security/#:~:text=According%20to%20research%2C%20somewhere%20between,to%20many%20information%20security%20professionals."><strong>90% of security breaches involve some degree of human error</strong>.</a> They can pose a risk by:-</span></p>
<ul><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Clicking on bad links in emails</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Visiting websites containing malicious software</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Forgetting to close the access point created for a vendor or contractor</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Using personal devices</span></p></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So ensure account access is controlled and audited to identify
potential issues. Use encryptions for all sensitive or confidential
data. It is vital to have the right technologies in place to support
them, such as firewalls.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Having up-to-date data backups and a disaster recovery plan will help recover and restore your business information.</span></p>
<ul><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Employees must be trained about cyber security risks. Information Technology team members should be encouraged to get <a href="https://www.soegjobs.com/cyber-security-certificates/">cyber security certificates</a>.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hospitality organisations should invest in reliable hosting and CDNs.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">End-to-end encryptions should be used on the PoS system. </span></p></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Security is everyone’s responsibility so here are <strong>10 security tips</strong> to help you stay vigilant.</span></p>
<ol><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Phising Emails- </strong>Don’t open emails from unknown sources. Think before you click on links or open attachments.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Log off</strong>- when you’re away from your device and use a security screen to protect confidential information from prying eyes.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Strong Passwords</strong>;- make them complex using at least
7 uppercase and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. Never write
them down or share them. Don’t reuse passwords from other sites.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Protect your stuff</strong>- keep your equipment locked up or take it with you. Report any loss immediately.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Shred it</strong>- Don’t write passwords down and shred confidential waste</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Sharing & Storing</strong>- only use approved applications. Hackers use clouds to gain access to information.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Back up</strong> – save your data and critical files regularly</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Secure Connection- </strong>when accessing work networks<strong>, </strong>use a secure WiFi not open to the public. The use of VPNs should be encouraged in hotels and hospitality organisations. </span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Updates</strong>- Keep your devices, browsers and apps up to date with the latest software and anti-virus protection</span></p></li></ol>
<ul><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Report it</strong>- If it looks suspicious report it</span></p></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Reporting breaches</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you suffer from a breach that poses a risk to people’s rights and
freedoms, such as damage to reputation or financial loss, then you do
need to report it to the Information Commission Office (IOC) within 72
hours of discovering the incident. The ICO has produced a guide which
may be found on its website (link) <a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/personal-data-breaches/">https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/personal-data-breaches/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Government’s <strong>Cyber Essentials</strong> scheme is a
responsible way of demonstrating that you take the protection of any

rent reviews and understanding the pub code can be a daunting task. The
legal process of rent reviews is commonly used in the pub industry to
adjust the rent for commercial properties.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/pexels-pixabay-63633_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/pexels-pixabay-63633_large.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">However, it is important to have a good understanding of this process
to ensure that you are not overpaying. This article aims to provide a
comprehensive explanation of rent reviews and the pub code, along with a
plethora of tips to help you navigate these processes effectively.</span></p><div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Rent Reviews</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Rent reviews entail the legal process of adjusting the rent for
commercial properties such as pubs, based on the current market value of
the property. Typically, the reviews occur every five years, and the
new rent is established by taking into account the prevailing market
conditions. The exercise often results in substantial rent increase,
which may pose a challenge for pub owners, particularly if their
business is not thriving.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>The Pub Code</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The pub code, established in 2016, was designed to regulate the
relationship between pub tenants and their landlords. The code's
objective is to ensure that tenants receive fair treatment and are not
subjected to unreasonable practices by their landlords. The pub code
provides specific guidelines for rent reviews, including the requirement
for landlords to provide a detailed rent assessment and the right for
tenants to have their rent assessed by an independent expert.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Tips for Navigating Rent Reviews and the Pub Code</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>1. Start Your Preparations Early</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In preparation for rent reviews, it is vital to commence early
planning. Gathering all relevant information, such as your lease
agreement and previous rent assessments, ensures that you have a clear
understanding of your current rent and any potential rent increments.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>2. Seek Expert Assistance</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Navigating rent reviews and the pub code can be a daunting task,
which necessitates expert assistance from accounting professionals with
specialised knowledge of the pub industry. These professionals can
assist you in evaluating your current rent, negotiating with your
landlord, and navigating the rent review process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>3. Understand Your Rights</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is critical to have a comprehensive understanding of your rights
under the pub code. It is incumbent upon pub owners to ensure that
landlords adhere to the guidelines set out in the code. If you believe
that your rights are being infringed, seek legal advice immediately.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>4. Negotiate Effectively</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Negotiating with your landlord can be a challenging process, but with
the right approach, you can achieve a favourable outcome. Ensure you
have all your facts on hand to support your case. Be prepared to make a
strong and well backed case as to why your rent should remain the same
or be reduced and negotiate from a position of strength.</span></p>

most prevailing causes of dental injuries. Therefore, a precaution taken
beforehand helps to avoid severe damage to your mouth. A mouth guard
will help you minimize the risks of injuries and concussion as well.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-50583f7/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/blog3-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="800" height="218" src="https://cdn-bjgoj.nitrocdn.com/QSEDNxWosdnIWqoSLlqddPpsAjlBuGld/assets/images/optimized/rev-50583f7/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/blog3-1.png" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> Dental

over-the-counter mouth guards, too but if you wear a mouth guard that is
custom-fitted by your dentist, you can <a href="https://www.expressionsdental.ca/blog/prevention-of-injuries-with-mouthguards/">prevent serious dental injuries</a>
as well as the unnecessary cost that it brings along. Some of the
common dental injuries that you can suffer from your sporting activities
and other fun recreational activities are –</span><p></p> <ul style="text-align: left;"><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Concussion</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Chipped teeth</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Broken teeth</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Broken Jaw</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Cuts on lips, gums, tongue, or cheeks</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Completely knocked out teeth</span></p></li></ul> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Why is it wise to choose custom-fitted mouth guard?</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A
custom-fitted mouth guard crafted by your dentist for you is meant to
protect you from most dental injuries. The mouth guard is comfortable to
wear and is sturdy to provide sufficient protection against most
impacts.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are various kinds of <a href="https://www.expressionsdental.ca/blog/about-mouth-guards/">mouth guards</a>
that vary in terms of price. A boil-and-bite mouth guard, which is
softened in the boiling water and then worn over the teeth, which then
allows it to take the shape of the wearer’s mouth. This mouth guard does
not guarantee that it will fit perfectly and may be uncomfortable. They
also need to be replaced regularly. Then, there are stock mouth guards
that are those ready-to-wear ones which are found at the stores. While
these may be economically priced, they provide the least amount of
protection. The fit of the mouth guard is not custom to your teeth.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>How to care for your mouth guard?</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If
you are thinking of getting a mouth guard or you are already using one,
you must take proper care of it. Mouth guards are easy to maintain.
After you are done using it, you just have to rinse it in soap and warm
water and allow it to dry. You can also clean and disinfect it using a
regular mouthwash from time to time. Keep your mouth guard in a
ventilated storage box. Heat can be damaging, so keep it away from
direct sunlight. When you visit your dentist, get your mouth guard
checked by him/her to ensure that it is in a good shape and fits well.
If your child is wearing a mouth guard, then it is better to get it
replaced more often because of your child’s growth and new teeth can
affect the fit of the mouth guard.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you want a custom-fitted mouth guard, then contact <a href="https://www.expressionsdental.ca/">Expressions Dental™ Clinic in Calgary</a>

optimising profitability is of paramount importance. One of the key
aspects that demands attention is controlling labour costs.</span></p><div itemprop="articleBody" style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The remuneration offered to the staff, the associated benefits and
taxes all contribute to the overheads and can erode profits if not
managed properly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In this article, we provide five strategies to effectively control labour costs, which can facilitate maximum profitability.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/pexels-on-shot-2788792_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/pexels-on-shot-2788792_large.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><strong>1. Assess Staffing Levels</strong></span><p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Evaluating staffing levels is a crucial aspect of controlling labour
costs. It is important to only have the appropriate number of personnel
to handle your customer demand without incurring unnecessary staff
salary expenses. Using scheduling software can help to in optimise your
staffing levels based on peak hours and customer traffic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong> 2. Employee Training Programs</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Having employee training programs can improve efficiency and
productivity, leading to reduced labour costs. Well-trained staff can
carry out their jobs and any tasks efficiently and quickly, thereby
enabling you to serve more customers with fewer employees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong> 3. Monitor and Control Overtime</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Overtime can act as a catalyst for inflating labour costs, causing a
decline in profitability. To mitigate its impact, it is vital to monitor
and control overtime by enforcing clear policies and scheduling
employees effectively.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong> 4. Offer Competitive Compensation Packages</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Providing competitive compensation packages, including fair
remuneration and benefits, can attract and retain high-calibre
personnel. Retaining employees reduces the expenses associated with
hiring and training new personnel, thereby reducing labour costs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong> 5. Use Technology</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The appropriate appliucation of technology, such as scheduling
software, can automate labour management processes, reducing the time
and effort required to manage staff. Technology can also assist with
inventory management, enabling you to track inventory levels and
minimise food waste, ultimately resulting in lower labour costs
associated with food preparation.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Do you ever wonder about the difference between Tips, Gratuities, and
Service charges? To the public these are collectively known as ‘Tips’.
However, it is important that you understand the difference between
them, and how they are taxed or not taxed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3771087_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk//images/2023/05/01/pexels-andrea-piacquadio-3771087_large.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />A tronc is a separate organised pay arrangement sometimes used to
distribute tips, gratuities and service charges given by customers. A
tronc scheme, managed by a troncmaster, is a way to ensure businesses
are compliant with the <a href="https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CBP-9589/CBP-9589.pdf">Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill</a>
which came into force in January 2023. The bill focuses on fairness of
tip allocations. It requires hospitality businesses to ‘fairly’ allocate
100% of tips to workers no later than the end of the month following
the month in which the tips were paid by customers.</span><p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We discuss Tronc schemes in more detail here</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Gratuity</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the most common type of tip and is “left on the table in
cash”, for an individual representing their appreciation for the good
service they have provided. That individual member of staff will go home
with a little bit of extra cash to top up their minimum wage income.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <strong>Tips</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Tips stands for “To Insure Prompt Service”, and is usually a sum of money paid to an individual in hospitality, <em>in advance</em>
of a good service. One story I heard revolved around a customer ripping
a $50 note in half upon arrival at a hotel in the Caribbean, informing
the waiter, “if you look after me during this visit, I will hand you the
other half before I leave”. The guest received excellent service during
their holiday and the member of staff received a generous tip of $50.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Service Charges</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">A service charge is a percentage added to the bill to cover service; a
predetermined gratuity you could say. It can be mandatory or
discretionary. It is mandatory if the customer has no choice but to pay
it, and discretionary when the customer can choose to remove it from the
bill. It can be any amount set by the pub or restaurant but is
typically around 12-15% of the total bill.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If the service charge is mandatory, then, unlike tips or gratuities,
this will be classified as part of the business revenue for tax purposes
and will be subject to standard rate VAT if applicable. All other tips,
gratuities, and discretionary service charges fall outside of the scope
for VAT.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>HMRC- what’s their view on tips?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">From now on we will collectively refer to gratuities, tips and discretionary service charge as “Tips”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Tips are outside the scope of VAT when genuinely freely given. A Tip
left on the table or paid up-front to an individual doesn’t go through
their payroll so they haven’t been taxed through the PAYE scheme and no
National Insurance contributions will be due. As taxpayers, they should
inform HMRC of this extra income, usually via their Self-Assessment tax
return.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">You may think that ‘how, why, and when they are taxed’ isn’t your
problem and has nothing to do with you as the business owner. Certainly,
in this simple example that is correct, and collecting taxes for HMRC
in this example isn’t your responsibility. Everyone’s happy, apart from
the chef who prepared the meal, or the bar manager who cleans the beer
lines and orders the wine, and every other member of your team that has
something to do with the customers experience but hasn’t received any
tips!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Payroll for the hospitality industry</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In hospitality, however, it is more common to pool the tips so that
they can be distributed amongst all staff whether they are customer
facing (front of house) or in the Kitchen (back of house). When the tips
are distributed this way, it’s a whole different ball game. It now
depends on how the tips are shared, and by whom, that will determine how
they will be treated by HMRC.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">That is why it is important to talk to <a href="https://www.carrollaccountants.co.uk/">experienced hospitality accounting</a>, payroll and taxation experts like Carroll Accountants, to ensure you are following the correct procedures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Do you ever wonder about the difference between Tips, Gratuities, and
Service charges? From a hospitality accounting and taxation point of
view they need to be treated differently. Read here for more advice.</span></p> </div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959715808260072noreply@blogger.com0
