Page_Publishing_Mona_Santillan_Cover

LOS ANGELES, April 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Mona Santillán, a creative author, brings us a work of fantasy that reflects the courage and trust in the family to overcome tough trials. It allows us to see the darkest of the human being when it falls into the hands of something sinister.

Gil and Tessy had planned a perfect future in the city for their beautiful daughters: Carol, Luna and Crismary; but a terrible accident would completely change the lives of the girls. Nana Susan, seeing herself helpless and with three girls, accepted the help of Mateo and Julia, two perverse beings that will make their lives a real torment. Kidnapped and with no way out, they see the days pass by slowly. When Susan died, the girls were left unprotected and one by one, their virginal bodies are terribly abused. Devise a plan to escape from there, it is their only way out, but without knowing anyone, the same poverty and harassment awaits them outside that house. Lucifer, thirsty for needy souls, devised a good plan to seize the girls, using as a tool a magic book, to which Carol, Luna and Crismary one by one, asked: “Do I still?”

Mona writes, “Today without fear of being wrong, I can say that I am proud to write fantasy and that this work is the first of the many adventures I wish to share with you.”

Published by New York City based Page Publishing, the work of Mona Santillán “Sigo Yo…”, brings us an adventure full of fear and doubt, where trust must be placed very carefully in someone certain and real.

Readers who wish to experience this fantastic and paranormal experience can purchase “Sigo Yo…”, in any book store, or in online stores. Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Cal/OSHA Cites Los Angeles Food Manufacturer and Staffing Agency for Serious Accident that Caused Amputation of Worker’s Fingers

0
State of California Department of Industrial Relations

SANTA ANA, California, April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA has issued more than $300,000 in serious citations to two employers after a temporary worker lost two fingers cleaning machinery at a food manufacturing facility in Los Angeles.

State of California Department of Industrial Relations

On October 2, 2018, the employee for Priority Workforce, Inc. was assigned to JSL Foods, Inc., a maker and distributer of noodles, pasta and baked goods. The worker was cleaning a dough rolling machine when his left hand was partially pulled into the moving rollers and two of his fingers were amputated.

Cal/OSHA’s investigation found the machine had not been adequately guarded to prevent fingers from entering pinch points, or de-energized and locked out to prevent movement while the worker was cleaning it. Neither employer had trained the worker to follow lockout/tagout procedures before cleaning the equipment. Lockout involves isolating a machine from its power source and using a device to prevent machinery from being restarted, while a tagout device on a machine shows it is prohibited to operate.  

“Lockout/tagout procedures are required to protect employees who maintain powered equipment with moveable parts,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. “Employers must ensure the procedures are in place and are followed.”

Cal/OSHA cited JSL Foods Inc. $276,435 in proposed penalties for seven violations, including one willful repeat serious violation and one willful repeat serious accident-related violation for failing to follow lockout/tagout procedures. JSL Foods, Inc. was cited twice in 2015 for the same violations.

Cal/OSHA also cited Tustin-based Priority Workforce Inc. $29,250 in proposed penalties for three serious violations for failure to establish, implement, and maintain an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program, failure to ensure employees were effectively trained, and failure to ensure the machinery was adequately guarded.

Cal/OSHA offers an eTool to help employers understand lockout/tagout requirements and how to develop effective safety procedures.

A serious violation is cited when there is a realistic possibility that death or serious harm could result from the actual hazardous condition. Violations are classified as accident-related when the injury, illness or fatality is caused by the violation. A willful violation is cited when the employer is aware of the law and violates it nevertheless, or when the employer is aware of the hazardous condition and takes no reasonable steps to address it.

Cal/OSHA helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California. Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch provides free and voluntary assistance to employers to improve their health and safety programs. Employers should call (800) 963-9424 for assistance from Cal/OSHA Consultation Services.

Employees with work-related questions or complaints may contact DIR’s Call Center in English or Spanish at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734). The California Workers’ Information line at 866-924-9757 provides recorded information in English and Spanish on a variety of work-related topics. Complaints can also be filed confidentially with Cal/OSHA district offices.

Members of the press may contact Peter Melton or Luke Brown at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.

The California Department of Industrial Relations, established in 1927, protects and improves the health, safety, and economic well-being of over 18 million wage earners, and helps their employers comply with state labor laws. DIR is housed within the Labor & Workforce Development Agency.

Honda Encourages Teens to Have #TheTextTalk with Parents, Cultivating Open Dialogue on Distracted Driving

Honda Encourages Teens to Have #TheTextTalk with Parents, Cultivating Open Dialogue on Distracted Driving

TORRANCE, Calif., April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Given the pervasive danger of texting while driving, Honda is flipping the script by encouraging teens to be role models and have #TheTextTalk with their parents throughout the month of April and beyond. The Distracted Driving Awareness Month campaign from Honda features a series of videos geared to motivate teens to have #TheTextTalk, an open dialogue with their parents about practicing safer driving habits: Honda.us.distracted.

Honda Encourages Teens to Have #TheTextTalk with Parents, Cultivating Open Dialogue on Distracted Driving

The campaign was inspired by today’s growing need to address the dangers of driving distracted. Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing found that one in three parents read text messages and one in seven use social media while driving their children between the ages of four and ten. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, each day in the United States more than 1,000 people are injured in crashes that are reported to involve a distracted driver.2 

“By making children and teens the catalysts for change, Honda’s distracted driving campaign takes a nontraditional approach in parent-child dynamics to capture true human emotion and encourage safer driving,” said Jessica Fini, social media manager at American Honda Motor, Co., Inc. “For the past six years, we have used our social media platforms to promote safer driving during National Distracted Driving Awareness month, and we hope having the text talk will inspire a crucial conversation between teens and parents beyond the month of April.”

Distracted Driving Campaign Details
Honda’s distracted driving campaign features a long-form video (Honda.us.distracted) broken up into three pivotal parts:

  • Introduction: each video opens with a montage of teenagers sitting down for individual interviews, discussing their and their parents’ phone behavior.
  • Revelation: the video then shows the director asking each teen a series of questions related to their parent’s driving habits. The director asks why they haven’t discussed the dangers of their parents texting while driving, and how they’d feel if they had the talk with them now.
  • Change: the families reunite to have #TheTextTalk. Each emotional parent-child conversation ends with a heartfelt commitment from the parent to stop texting while driving.
  • The long-form video will live on Honda’s YouTube channel with cut-down versions of the video featured on Honda’s social media channels, including Twitter (@Honda), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Honda/), and Instagram (@Honda), throughout the month of April.

The campaign also features a pledge to drive distracted-free:

  • The families featured in the video sign a pledge, a physical reminder of their heartfelt discussion, on how they will stop driving while distracted for the sake of their loved ones.
  • The pledge will also be featured on Honda’s Instagram and website. Honda is encouraging people to share the pledge by tagging their loved ones on social media.
  • Alternatively, a link to the online PDF version of the pledge is available at Honda.us.pledge and can be printed, signed, and shared among friends and family as a physical reminder of their commitment to no longer text and drive.

Eggs: Handle Them Safely As You Celebrate!

0
FDA_Handle_eggs_safely

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The egg has been viewed as a symbol of new life and has been associated with springtime celebrations, such as Easter and Passover, for many centuries. But, even during festive occasions, eggs can cause food poisoning (also called foodborne illness). That’s why the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reminds consumers to follow safe food handling practices when buying, storing, preparing, and serving eggs or foods that contain them during their springtime celebrations and throughout the year.

Learn more at:
http://www.fda.gov/Food/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/ucm077342.htm

Harmful Salmonella bacteria can be found on both the outside and inside of eggs that look perfectly normal. Protect yourself and your family by following these food safety tips to prevent food poisoning:

Clean

  • Wash hands, utensils, dishes, and work surfaces (counter tops and cutting boards) with soap and hot water after contact with raw eggs and raw egg-containing foods.
  • Discard cracked or dirty eggs.

Separate

  • Never let raw eggs or the utensils that touched them come into contact with food that will be eaten raw.

Cook

  • Cook eggs thoroughly until both the yolk and white are firm. Lightly cooked egg whites and yolks have both caused outbreaks of Salmonella infections.
  • Casseroles and other dishes containing eggs should be cooked to 160° F. Use a food thermometer to be sure.
  • Eat eggs promptly after cooking. Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature (between 40° to 140° F) for more than 2 hours.
  • For recipes that call for raw or undercooked eggs (like Caesar salad dressing and homemade ice cream), consider using pasteurized shell eggs or pasteurized egg products. Look for the word “pasteurized” on the label to be sure.

Chill

  • Buy eggs only if sold from a refrigerator or refrigerated case. Keeping eggs adequately refrigerated prevents any Salmonella bacteria in or on the eggs from growing to higher numbers (which makes them more likely to cause illness).
  • At home, keep eggs refrigerated at 40° F or below until they’re needed. Use a refrigerator thermometer to check.
  • Refrigerate unused eggs or leftovers that contain eggs promptly.
  • For school or work, pack cooked eggs with a small frozen gel pack or a frozen juice box.

Eating Out

  • Avoid restaurant dishes made with raw or undercooked, unpasteurized eggs.
  • When in a restaurant, ask if they use pasteurized eggs before ordering anything that might result in consumption of raw or undercooked eggs (such as Hollandaise sauce or Caesar salad dressing).

Take Action

If you think that you or a family member has a foodborne illness, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Also, report the suspected foodborne illness to FDA in either of these ways:
