On the day that the Sony Ericsson X10 finally came to market the new miniature Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro has received its first release date as a SIM Free phone as well as an initial price tag.

The X10 Mini Pro takes many of the original handsets features and technology and shrinks them down into a far smaller handset with a 3.2 inch touch screen as opposed to the large 4.3 inch display of the X10, added to this is a full Qwerty slide out keyboard for those people who like to press physical buttons when entering text rather than the on-screen option.

One big difference between the new X10 Mini Pro and the previous X10 and soon to be launched Sony Ericsson X10 Mini is that the camera has been slightly downgraded from 8.1 mega pixels to 5.0, this also helps to keep the price of this new Android handset low with the initial release price slated at 249.99, compared with the 489.99 asking price of the original X10 model this is a huge discount.

The release date for the SIM Free Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is now confirmed as May 24th 2010, the Mini version of this handset without the Qwerty keyboard is also rumoured to be launching at around the same time giving consumers a real choice of new, smaller Android phones.

The main display changes slightly from the larger model with the manufacturer using short-cuts in each corner of the screen, they claim that this makes it far easier to select features and applications just using your thumb on the smaller touch screen and these can also be personalised to your favourite programs and functions.

Timescape is Sony Ericsson's new application that has transferred from the original model into the Mini Pro edition, this feature pulls together all of your emails, text messages and social networking updates into one stream which keeps you up to date with all of your friends activities in an organised and useful fashion.

There is still no confirmed release dates for the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro on any of the networks, rumours suggest that they are currently fighting over who will win the lucrative limited exclusive launch period with no clear winners as yet.

The X10 Mini Pro and Mini edition handsets are the smallest Android phones to be announced so far, competition comes from recently launched models such as the HTC Desire and HTC Legend as well as the Motorola Milestone in particular with its similar slide out Qwerty keyboard.

Others include the LG GT540 and Samsung Galaxy Portal, both of which are more affordable options for those on a budget looking for an Android device.

Keeping your log sheet in your vehicle will help you to remember to write down the important information you need for your records.

A rubber band and your sun visor may be all you need to keep you log sheet where you can remember it. When you remember that you have a mileage log sheet it is easy to right down the mileage, date, event or job and you have all the information you need. Maybe you have a log book in your vehicle which reminds you to enter your mileage. No matter how you remember it is important to remember to enter the information on your log sheet.

Most people have to keep track for business purposes, and now it has never been easier to do. Taking the time to fill out your mileage log sheet takes less of your time than trying to find the last piece of paper you wrote the last numbers on. No longer do you have to take time at the end of the week to remember where you started or where you ended on this trip or that, it will already be finished. You will already have it all at your fingertips on your log sheet.

Maybe you were like most people who choose not to keep track of their mileage for time the spend volunteering at their favorite charity.

Digital technology has come to the rescue with a simple new "gizmo" called a digital mileage log. The device is smaller than a pack of cigarettes so it can be moved from one vehicle to another in case you use different cars for business.

Plus it's a snap to use! You simply plug it into your car's cigarette lighter an turn it on at the beginning of your trip. The unit then uses GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to record your car's initial position.

Michael Jackson Thawed Out MJ Nose Transplanted onto Serena Williams

Image source: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/thaw0bndDUc/maxresdefault.jpg

Elvis has left the building but the most famous part of Michael Jackson is back on center court. This week Stephen Hawking said that the only way for human beings to escape extinction from nuclear wars, global warming, overpopulation and reality television was to go to live in outer space. Michael Jackson and Stephen Hawking were close friends. Stephen Hawking was the one who turned Michael Jackson onto cryonics, freezing the body after death to enable it to be Lazarusized when the technology becomes available, or the King of Kings returns, whichever comes first.

Do you remember how long it took to bury Michael Jackson? Finally a date was set but then Farrah Fawcett had the nerve to be buried on The King's burial date. This was his first date since he married The King's daughter. Eventually a fake burial was staged for Michael Jackson. Why was there no private or public viewing? Who has their funeral at the Staples Center?

Here is the official story: Michael Jackson was interred at Forest Lawn cemetary in Los Angeles, in Forest Lawn's Great Mausoleum, in a crypt in the Holly Terrace Section. What's a crypt? Is this like Kryptonite? Superman's parents launched Superman into outer space just before the destruction of their planet. Stephen Hawking, the world's smartest man is now getting his ideas to save mankind from Marvel.

In fact, Michael Jackson is now frozen stiff in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. Dr. Conrad Murray's defense is that Michael Jackson isn't dead, he's just sleeping. Serena Williams has now been added to Dr. Conrad Murray's witness list because last week at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation a team of world renowned scientists including Stephen Hawking thawed out Michael Jackson's nose and transplanted it onto Serena Williams.

This is the reason that Serena Williams withdrew from the upcoming US Open. Serena's new nose is still not on tight enough yet. How embarrassing would it be for Serena Williams to have her nose fall off on match point in front of a world wide audience? As a condition of Serena's probation for last year's meltdown at the US Open she must not cause any more commotions or face a ban from major tournaments. Would it be a commotion if Serena's nose fell off during play, she continued the rally with a gaping hole in her face, and women and children ran screaming from Arthur Ashe Stadium hysterically? Anyways Serena looks fabulous; she went from looking like Marvin Hagler with a wig to looking like Mariah Carey. Michael Jackson always wanted to win a major and it looks like Nike has now arranged it.

Medical Journals Reports on Dangerous Fosamax Side Effects Linked to the Osteoporosis Drug

Image source: http://unsafeproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/fosamax-injury-lawyer.jpg

The New England Journal of Medicine released a report recently linking the osteoporosis drug Fosamax to at least 23 cases of esophageal cancer since its initial market release in 1995. Additionally, only hours after the report was released in January, another study on Fosamax was also published in the Journal of the American Dental Association informing individuals that the development of a debilitating condition, which causes the bones within the jaw to die off, may be more common than initially thought among patients consuming the drug. The condition, which is known as osteonecrosis of the jaw, affects approximately 20,000 Americans each year, but is considered a rare and crippling condition.

The link of the most recent findings to the Fosamax drug from Merck and Co. adds to a lengthy list of Fosamax side effects that have been linked to the drug since its release. Fosamax, which is the generic name for Alendronate, that became available in 2001, is often prescribed to osteoporosis patients as well as postmenopausal women who suffer from bone density loss.

An ABC news report on the drug and the recent studies speculated on the potential upcoming public perception of Fosamax and how the "one-two punch" may affect the company. One ABC News contributor, Dr. Marie Savard, claimed that the die off of the jaw may be just "the tip of the iceberg... the drugs do change bone structure and growth."

Developing Osteonecrosis

According to the National Osteonecrosis Foundation and the Center of Osteonecrosis Research and Education, the condition commonly affects individuals between the ages of 20 and 50 years old, most often affecting individuals in their late 30s. The condition is "death of bone which can occur from the loss of the blood supply or by some other means." The following are potential causes of the condition:

* dislocations

* caisson disease

* sickle cell disease

* post-irradiation

* chemotherapy

* arteial disease

* gauchers disease

* alcohol

* lipid disturbances

* connective tissue disease

* liver disease

* kidney disease

* lupus

* smoking

* pancreatitis

* blood clotting disorders

* corticosteroids in high dosages

If an individual feels they may be a victim of the condition, there are several steps that can be taken to diagnose osteonecrosis including:

* X-ray

* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

* bone scan

* computed tomography (CT)

* biopsy

Details of Esophageal Cancer and Fosomax

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) defines esophageal cancer as "a cancer that forms in tissues lining the esophagus, which is the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach." It is estimated that in 2008 approximately 16,470 individuals will suffer from a new esophageal cancer diagnosis and approximately 14,280 deaths will result from this cancer, which is a fatality rate of nearly 86 percent.

Treatments for esophageal cancer can range from surgery and chemotherapy to radiation, immuno and vaccine therapy. However, according to NCI, "when esophageal cancer is found very early, there is a better chance of recovery... and at later stages, esophageal cancer can be treated but rarely can be cured."

Receive Fosamax Assistance

Patients who currently suffer from the severe Fosamax risks can find relief by contacting a medical professional immediately to halt consumption of the drug as well as to locate an experienced medical attorney specializing in pharmaceutical dangers such as that associated with Fosamax.

By contacting a knowledgeable Fosamax attorney a victim of the drug can receive a free legal consultation surrounding the potential development of a Fosamax class action lawsuit in which not only can justice be served and future Fosamax patients saved from the debilitating side effects, but the potential for earning monetary compensation is increased.

Maslow's Hierarchy and Marketing

Image source: https://reginaantony.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/141124-hierarchy-of-needs-final.jpg

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist who came up with a theory dealing with the hierarchy of human needs. No, marketing is not essential to human survival, and chances are your product or service is not either. However, whatever you are offering, it will fall into one of the categories Maslow has listed in his hierarchy of needs. And if you know which need you should appeal to, it will be that much easier to market to your prospects.
The first level of Maslow's hierarchy deals with physiological needs. These are the most basic necessities that humans require to survive. Food, water, shelter, and oxygen all fall into this category, along with sleep, activity and other inevitable human functions.

If your product or service has to do with a basic need, your main problem is getting the customer to buy from you instead of your competitors. Everybody needs food, so why would potential customers be more inclined to buy lunch at your restaurant instead of the taco shack across the street? Perhaps you have lower prices, better quality, faster service, or a more comfortable environment than they do. It is important to stress that what YOU offer holds certain advantages over the customers' other choices.

The next stage of human need deals with safety and security. Turn the TV on for five minutes, and see how many ads about insurance, retirement plans, or home alarm systems play during the commercial break. How would the use of your product enhance feelings of safety and stability in your customers' lives? Stress these factors as your main selling points and get at the root emotions of your prospects.

The third tier of Maslow's hierarchy is that of love and belonging. We have all felt the desire to be closer to our families, to have more friends, or to find a significant other. Appealing to these desires is useful if you run a personals web page or a own a club. Tell your prospects about the great interactions they will have if they try your service, and use testimonials from customers past. Hearing about great results from former clients is a great way to get new buyers.

Maslow's next area of human need deals with esteem. One area of esteem needs calls for recognition from others, status, attention, and recognition. The other area hits a little closer to the self, involving self-respect, confidence, competence, independence and achievement.

I am reminded of a shampoo commercial in which the lead actress walks through an office building with the admiring eyes of many workers following her around. At the end, she walks into a board meeting and states that she doesn't even work for the company, and all the attention must be the result of her shampoo.

The last tier of Maslow's hierarchy is self-actualization. Have you ever heard the U. S. Army slogan "Be all that you can be"? This is an appeal to the self-actualization needs of human beings. Approaching people at this level of the hierarchy involves inviting them to live up to their full potential as a hard working, motivated member of society.

Appealing to the needs of your customers can be a great way to grab the attention of your customers, as long as you remember to be responsible about it. Be aware of the psychological motivators being used on you and determine the right ones to use to convince prospects to try your product or service.

Male Organ Pain from a Torn Frenulum

Image source: http://www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/gallery/data/500/Picture_057.jpg

Considering all the hard work it gets put through, its surprising the manhood doesnt experience more painful episodes. As all men know, there are any number of factors that account for male organ pain, some of which can have an impact on member health. One of the more painful male organ pain situations arises when a guy tears or otherwise damages his frenulum - so its best to try to avoid situations that put the frenulum at risk!
What is it?

This is a not-so-secret secret: Despite all the time men spend with their members and despite the importance they place upon it, most guys dont know what all the parts of the manhood are. And many may have heard the word "frenulum" without knowing exactly what (or where) it is.

To put at ease any questions readers of this article may have in that area, the frenulum is the name given to the area of sensitive skin on the underside of the member, right near the center of the head. In intact men, this is the part of skin that attached the male hood to the member. In cut men, there may be no frenulum; more likely, there is some remnant of the frenulum there. In many men, this area is especially sensitive, and stroking it while self-stimulating can be pleasurable.

In common conversation, the frenulum is often referred to as a guys "banjo string."

What happens

As indicated above, the manhood is actually pretty resilient. Nonetheless, some things do cause male organ pain, and a tear in the frenulum is one of them. Since there is a greater sensitivity in this area, a tear can lead to greater male organ pain than a tear elsewhere. The frenulum is also located right "where the action is" where sensual activity is concerned, so the pain can be significantly bothersome.

In intact men, the most painful form of frenulum injury is when it tears and separates from the rest of the male hood. Fortunately, this does not happen with great frequency. More common is a partial tear, and this can occur in both intact and cut men.

And the most common culprit of these tears is rough, aggressive handling during sensual activity. So if, for example, a man is increasingly using a "death grip" on his manhood while self-gratifying - that is, he is squeezing it intensely tight while pumping up and down - he may increase the likelihood of a tear. Or if a man engages in sensual activity which is not well-lubricated, the chances of a tear go up.

Some researchers believe frenulum tears are becoming more common, based on a belief that sensual activity (both partner-based and self-based) are becoming rougher, perhaps due to the increasing prevalence of adult visual material. This is based on an assumption that the "rougher" experience of coupling in adult visual material is being replicated among everyday people. But this is based on anecdotal observations, not on any hard and fast evidence.

If a guy does tear his frenulum, in addition to male organ pain there may be some blood. Seeing a doctor is usually a good idea, although most often the tears heal on their own. However, healing requires that the member be given a good rest for 4 to 6 weeks - which means no sensual activity, including self-fondling, during that time. In some cases, an operation may be required if the tear is severe or if it keeps recurring.

Taking good care of the frenulum to avoid male organ pain is strongly urged. One way to insure better member health is to consistently make use of a superior member health crme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) . Find one that includes L-arginine and L-carnitine. The former is an amino acid which plays a role in helping manhood blood vessels to relax and expand. The latter is a neuroprotective ingredient that can help restore diminished sensation in the member due to rough handling.

Making Living Space Come Alive with Animation

Image source: https://pmpcarch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/lighting.jpg

These days the internet has become the invaluable go to item for most consumers to research the different questions that arise in life. How do I get to my hotel? What are the weekly specials at the local grocery store? What is the history of Impressionism? However, when we discuss large investments like a car, a home, or a real estate development project with high financial stakes we need more than just words and photographs on a website. We need to see the width of the hallway in relation to the doors; the height of the walls in relation to the light coming in the windows; the situation of a house in relation to the homes next door through the windows. These, until recently, could only see in real life or through the use of a camcorder. Each of these methods has their own deficiencies. Seeing real estate in person involves travel time, scheduling an appointment during peak times of the day, and being influenced by someone in a personal decision regarding your financial future. A camcorder, on the other hand, can be used to accentuate the positives and downplay the negatives, it is also operated by someone who may have different priorities regarding architecture than you, or in the end the video may be of poor quality and you are unable to make everything out clearly.

This brings us to the question, "If these methods are outdated, expensive, and unreliable; what is the more appropriate method to visualize these investments?" The answer for a consumer is 3D Walkthrough. As 3D Walkthroughs, Floor Plans, or Animations are based upon actual measurements of height, width, depth, and angle; the potential for skewed viewpoints is removed, thus the truth of realism is preserved. There is also a reduced cost, as the need to drive all over is negated and only the already available blue print is necessary with a list of materials to properly facilitate the textures and overlays should that be desired.

3D Walkthroughs have revolutionized the real estate and architecture industries as nothing except experiencing the location in reality could give one a better sense of the look and spacing of a building. But what do you do if there is no location, no building, only floor plans? This is where for architects and real estate developers 3D proves its real worth. They allow the architects and developers to view the 3D images of designs that match the real objects before anything is built. With 3D Digital Architectural Modeling you can view your project more clearly from various angles and aspects reducing the possibility of deficiencies in the final result of your design, thus saving labor and cost of the project.

The growing popularity of 3D Floor plans has transformed it into an invaluable tool for builders to show potential customers how an apartment, home, or office space would look after completion. For a property developer, an architect, or a real estate company; these invaluable services are extremely instrumental in explaining projects effectively to potential buyers who can visualize the true perspective and beauty of a building with the life like colors and textures and get the WOW effect. These plans and models have a nearly photographic quality and help visualize the outcome of any proposed design with respect to layout, dimensions and furniture configuration. It also allows someone with no experience in reading blueprints on paper to get a glimpse of the property instantly.

3D Walkthroughs are the most effective pre-sales marketing tool available to a realtor and never before has a marketing tool been able to show the vision of a developmental project in such detail and realism. They allow an estate agent to display a building while it is under construction or in planning stages, completely empty or properly staged depending on the preference of their client, and at all hours even when the current occupants are still there. It is like someone moving through the house with an unbiased video camera and while watching the video feeling as though you are walking into your space.

With so many benefits and no downfalls, 3D Floor plans, Animations, and Walkthrough's are the next big development in the architectural and real estate industries. Those who ignore these opportunities are only missing out on taking their business to the next level.

Cybervation, Inc has many highly qualified individuals who would love to help you take your conception and make it a digital reality. We dedicate ourselves to transforming your imaginative ideas and concepts into realistic 3D animation for diverse industries including Architecture, Industrial, Medical, Advertising, Cartoon, and Gaming using the best 3D technology in the field at highly competitive pricing.

Making Communication Effective 4 Language Filters

Image source: http://slideplayer.com/6084810/18/images/38/Making+visual+aids+clear+%28Tape%29.jpg

Language is a challenging way to communicate. It allows us to share our thoughts and feelings by describing our personal views of reality.

Yet language is not reality. It is merely a limited system of symbols, signals, sounds, or gestures that belong to a specific culture or group. It only describes a personal map of the actual territory. We might have a great message to share. Yet there are other important factors to consider if we want to make our communication effective.

In addition to the content of our messages, language conveys feelings. Our voices are colored with emotion and attitude. Add the subtle nuances of pitch and loudness, intonation, rate, facial expression and posture. Now we have a complex pattern of behavior with the power to influence our listeners.

Without those additional nuances available in writing, the selection of words and sentences must do all the work. They must be chosen carefully. Whether our messages are spoken or written, the job is still unfinished.

Our language must pass through the filters of emotion, culture, situational context, and personal beliefs. These filters will influence the listener's perception and interpretation of our message resulting in either acceptance or rejection of our ideas.

1. Emotion: Our listeners may be joyful, anxious, upset, expectant, excited, or in any emotional state. Their emotional state will influence their reaction to our message. An upset individual will not be ready to receive new ideas. On the other hand, someone who is looking forward to hearing what we have to say will accept our ideas if we present them well.

2. Culture: An individual's personal history, country of origin and upbringing will influence their worldview. Their language may not contain words and concepts that ours does. These people will interpret our messages differently than someone with our own background. They may not understand many of our views. When formulating our messages, we must take care to respect cultures, customs, and histories that are different from our own.

3. Situational Context: What the listener has recently experienced as well as environmental factors will also influence the way he or she receives our messages. Unlike emotions, situational context involves elements that are external to the listener. This includes our own presentation of the message. What we said previously and how we said it will influence the listener's perception of what we say next. A room that is too noisy, dark, cold, or uncomfortable will distract the listener's attention.

4. Personal Beliefs: We filter everything we hear through our personal beliefs. We relate everything we experience to previous experiences. If we understand an idea or concept, it is because we are relating it to our past learning. It is rare that we actually have a completely new experience. We have core beliefs about our lives; these personal maps of the world guide the way we listen, perceive, and interpret what we hear. Our messages will be influenced significantly by our listener's personal beliefs. We need to select our words carefully, and craft our presentations so that they will touch our listeners on a deeper emotional level. It is at this deeper emotional level where the most effective communication is achieved.

Well-chosen language can touch the heart and soul, find a common ground, tear down walls of division, and foster powerful new alliances. It can be an extremely powerful success tool.

Language that ignores the listener's emotional state, culture, current life situations, and personal beliefs will miss its mark. Instead of building trust, it will distance us from those who could become friends and allies.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Eloquence is the power to translate a truth into language perfectly intelligible to the person to whom you speak."

Choosing our messages carefully, and remembering these language filters will help us develop that eloquence, and will make our communications more effective. We will obtain improved results in both our careers and personal lives by engendering trust, building rapport, and creating positive new relationships.

Make These Cyber Security Resolutions for 2018

Now that the year is coming to an end, all eyes are on whats possibly around the corner. More attacks on cryptocurrencies? An escalation in attacks by state-sponsored cyber criminals? Chaos as the EUs GDPR is implemented? In cyber security, only one thing is certain: Its a continuous game of Spy vs. Spy. As soon as one hole is plugged, hackers find another way in, and with every new technology comes a brand-new set of risks.

Heres a list of cyber security tips that will protect your enterprise not only in the New Year but in the years to come.

Secure Your Cloud, Secure Your Cloud, Secure Your Cloud

The AWS breach epidemic made our list of the worst cyber attacks of 2017, so its not surprising that cloud security is at the top of our cyber security tips for 2018. The rule of thumb is that your cloud service provider is responsible for the security of your cloud, but your organization is responsible for the security in it. Understand that cloud security is quite different from on-premises cyber security, and make sure to seek professional help to ensure a successful and secure cloud migration.

Make Sure Your Business Associates Are Secure

The next item on our list addresses another epidemic we saw over this past year: incidents where hackers targeted the smaller, third-party vendors of larger organizations such as Verizon, the Republican National Committee, and Netflix. It is estimated that over 60% of all breaches now involve third-party business associates. Often, hackers target these firms because they tend to be smaller than their corporate customers and have less robust cyber security. Make sure to vet your vendors information security very carefully and ensure that they arent cutting corners.

Keep Your Software & Systems Updated

Both the WannaCry and NotPetya attacks targeted older, unpatched versions of Microsoft Windows, and the Equifax breach was the fault of the organization not updating its installation of Adobe Struts. Because hackers often exploit known vulnerabilities that developers have patched in security updates, one of the easiest ways to fend off cyber attacks is to keep your operating systems and software up to date.

Dont Forget About Your Employees

The biggest security vulnerability in any organization is its own people. All of the updates, firewalls, and technical controls in the world will do you no good if an employee clicks on a link in a phishing email, shares their password just this one time, or goes rogue and decides to strike back against the company. Your cyber security plan should include continuous employee training on cyber security best practices as well as precautions to guard against malicious insiders.

Remember that Compliance Does Not Equal Cyber Security

It is of the utmost importance to comply with regulatory and industry standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and the upcoming GDPR. However, compliance is the starting point, not the do-all, end-all, of cyber security. Because todays data environments are complex and unique, and the threat environment changes daily, it is impossible for any standard or framework to address every single possible risk and vulnerability that an individual organization may face.

Machine Guarding

In the United States, there are millions of workers that endure hard labor jobs, which require physical interaction with machines to build, develop, construt or weld together buildings, cars, etc. However, thousands of those workers are injured on the job annually. One of the most common types of workplace injuries occurs when machine operators suffer amputations, lacerations, de-gloving or other serious injuries from the operation of machinery, which is not properly guarded.

Moving machine parts can cause severe injuries. Machine guards are essential to protect workers from preventable injuries. Whenever the operation of a machine can injure the operator or others, the hazards must be either eliminated or designed out of a product.

If this is not possible and the hazard cannot be eliminated, it must be guarded against and a warning must be provided to avoid the hazard. This is often referred to as the "Engineering Hierarchy": design out, guard against and warn.

Many guarding principles have been in use in the industry for over 100 years. For example, the first patent for an interlocking guard was awarded in 1899 for a power press. However, while guarding technology has been readily available for decades, many manufacturers fail to avail itself of basic safety engineering that could save lives and prevent needless suffering and tragedy. Because of this neglect or disregard for a company's employees, the creation of a employee compensation lawsuit may occur to bring safety to a workplace and dissolve remaing threats.

There are many types of guards that are appropriate for different products depending on the use for which the product is intended. Some examples of guards include fixed barrier guards, movable interlocking guards, and light curtains and sensors that detect the entry of fingers or the operator's hands.

Machine guarding cases involving serious injury due to improper guarding often involve situations where a product had a poorly designed guard that was removed exposing the operator to serious injury. If the manufacturer could have, and should have reasonably expected that the guard would be removed, the removal of the guard does not shield the manufacturer from liability.

Additionally, if a company does not fit hazardous machines with safety gear, workers should be advised to contact a law firm that is experienced in developing employee safety lawsuits. When an employer refuses to ensure the safety of its workers, or merely disregards the safety of its workers, they can be held responsible.
