August 27, 2019 – – Glencoe, Ontario based 2Plus Plumbing launched a new blog for homeowners that features practical and timely plumbing tips and advice. The blog focuses on Do It Yourself (DIY) measures that homeowners can take without having to call in a professional.

Tim Lynn of 2Plus Plumbing said, “This blog is not just another sales type blog or review. We want to offer practical tips so people can learn about things that can help them avoid costly repairs. We aim to publish a new post each week so that people can enrich their knowledge.” The blog can be read on the 2Plus Plumbing website.

One of the blog’s recent posts highlighted three possible reasons why homeowner’s ovens might be the cause of electric fuses tripping in the house. When a fuse blows, it can be inconvenient to get to the fuse box and reset it, but better that than allowing the house to burn down. However, the issue is that most homeowners would not know what to do next. Luckily, 2Plus Plumbing has identified a few aspects that homeowners can check so they need not expend funds having the fault investigated.

Lynn notes that many people lack even the basic knowledge to ensure that they ask the right questions of anyone that does maintenance work for them. With their own vast experience in dealing with homeowners in what is possibly the worst situation their home has been in, 2Plus Plumbing knows that dealing with an emergency is stressful. However, Lynn insists that homeowners need to understand how to deal with essential maintenance to prevent it becoming a much bigger repair bill. “Sometimes, a little knowledge can go a long way, but we stress that anyone looking at electrics should ensure that they keep themselves—and anyone else or animals in the area—safe,” continued Lynn.

The company has even posted tips for selecting the best plumber, which is sure to be popular for anyone who comes across their website for the first time. With over 18 years’ experience in the industry, the company has all the expertise they need to help panic-stricken homeowners during an emergency. Those looking for plumbing service in Glencoe will be able to catch up on all the useful information the company has recently made available—right after they deal with their current emergency or maintenance needs.

2Plus Plumbing provides practical and timely plumbing content and DIY tips so that homeowners can avoid having to pay for costly repairs. Their blog is published each week and will help enrich every visitor’s knowledge of plumbing and other home repair issues. In doing so, the company hopes that homeowners will be better prepared to deal with the repair services they use to help them maintain their home. Furthermore, the new blog brings many of the articles the company has published over the years onto a single easy-to-read platform that can be read on any device.

Lynn said, “We really want everyone to enjoy reading our articles and to learn something that will help them take charge of their household. We invite our readers to ask us questions and even suggest topics concerning their own households. We know that, in the current economic climate, many people are trying to figure out what they can do themselves, and we want to be there for them with useful tips and advice.”

The company is also active on Twitter, and will be expanding their use of social media to extend their reach and make more people across North America and the world aware of their pragmatic, practical tips. 2Plus chose the blog format due to its widespread popularity, and welcomes feedback and questions from readers looking for help and advice. They hope that it will become a ‘go to’ website for homeowners around the globe to gain knowledge and confidence in dealing with their own maintenance and suppliers.

The website also includes several Plumbing FAQs, or Frequently Asked Questions, which serve to guide even the newest homeowner through some of the most common questions about household issues. Such questions include having to jiggle the toilet handle, whether they can do anything about the smell from the garbage disposal, and many more. For any Plumbing & Heating Glencoe, Ontario questions or concerns, visitors are invited to submit questions to the company through the website.

The new blog from 2Plus Plumbing is freely available to readers around the globe. Interested parties may follow it for educational resources, and contact Tim Lynn directly with any business concerns or homeowner inquiries. The company’s contact information can also be found on their website.

August 27, 2019 – – Oklahoma has successfully sued Johnson & Johnson for its role in the opioid crisis after a judge ruled in the state’s favor. The decision makes Oklahoma the first state to successfully sue on opioid manufacturer—a significant step in the fight against what is being considered the worst drug crisis in US history. The ruling is expected to affect other drug companies hit by multiple lawsuits.

The damning 42-page decision made by Judge Thad Balkman ruled that the company bore a wide responsibility for helping to create the opioid epidemic in Oklahoma. The judge said not only did Johnson & Johnson aggressively push false claims about the safety and effectiveness of its own narcotic painkillers, but it also changed medical practice with “deceptive” claims intended to break down caution among doctors about prescribing opioids. This included using huge resources to fund organizations and research to promote narcotics.

Balkman then ordered the company to pay $572 million in compensation initially with additional payments to be negotiated to cover treatment, overdose prevention, and other costs of abating the epidemic in the state in the coming years. Oklahoma had asked for $17 billion in compensation.

Johnson & Johnson said it will appeal the decision. This verdict is a major blow to all opioid makers, distributors across the country who are facing similar lawsuits for their alleged roles in the opioid crisis.

The epidemic has claimed the lives of more than 400,000 people over the past two decades. Pharmaceutical companies have previously attempted to pin the blame on doctors who prescribed the opioids. Click the link to see Poughkeepsie’s top rehab placement programs.

Oklahoma’s attorney general, Mike Hunter, said the ruling confirmed that “Johnson & Johnson maliciously and diabolically created the opioid epidemic in our state”.

“Today is a major victory for the state of Oklahoma, the nation and everyone who has lost a loved one because of an opioid overdose,” he said. “Our evidence convincingly showed that this company did not just lie and mislead, they colluded with other companies en route to the deadliest man-made epidemic our nation has ever seen.”

Purdue Pharma is facing similar lawsuits over its powerful opioid, OxyContin. Oklahoma’s attorney general has also sued Purdue for allegedly kickstarting the opioid epidemic in the 1990s with the potent opioid product. Purdue Pharma settled out of court for $270 million before the trial. However, the company is still facing hundreds of other lawsuits in different states.

Sabrina Strong, one of Johnson & Johnson’s trial lawyers said that the ruling was flawed. The company argued that the drugs it sold were approved by federal regulators and that they could not be tied directly to any deaths in Oklahoma. “We have sympathy for all who suffer from substance abuse. But Johnson & Johnson did not cause the opioid abuse crisis here in Oklahoma or anywhere in this country,” she said.

The judge, however, found that the opioid maker acted in concert with other companies to escalate prescriptions by pushing the false narrative that there was a desperate need for painkillers. Additionally, Johnson & Johnson pushed that “there was a low risk of abuse and a low danger of prescribing opioids”.

Balkman wrote: “A key element in (Johnson & Johnson’s) opioid marketing strategy to overcome barriers to liberal opioid prescribing was its promotion of the concept that chronic pain was under-treated (creating a problem) and increased opioid prescribing was the solution.”

“Among other things, they sent sales representatives into Oklahoma doctors’ offices to deliver misleading messages, they disseminated misleading pamphlets, coupons, and other printed materials for patients and doctors, and they misleadingly advertised their drugs over the internet”.

The judge also said that Johnson & Johnson sought to influence medical practice with “substantial payments of money to a variety of different pain advocacy groups and organizations that influenced prescribing physicians and other health care professionals”. Further, Balkman ruled that Johnson & Johnson ignored warnings from the Food and Drug Administration and its own advisory board over its marketing methods for its high strength Fentanyl drug, Duragesic.

If someone in the family is struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against drug abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.

August 27, 2019 – – Fort Walton Beach, FL. – Lewis & Jurnovoy, P.A., a bankruptcy law firm in Fort Walton Beach, has given a beginner’s guide to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This guide is given to those who are interested in learning more about Chapter 7, as well as answering frequently asked questions.

Lewis and Jurnovoy first recommend understanding what Chapter 7 bankruptcy entails. Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves canceling a person’s debts without repayment, save for repossessing certain assets to pay creditors.

Lewis & Jurnovoy, P.A. are often asked if a client will be able to erase all their debts. Unfortunately, Florida law will still require a debtor to pay certain debts. Those debts include student loans, taxes, child support, and others. Each client’s case is unique, so it is best to consult a bankruptcy lawyer to know what debts will still be required to pay.

Another commonly asked question is what assets will be repossessed as payment to creditors. People often believe everything will be taken from them if they file for bankruptcy. However, the state of Florida protects residents from losing specific assets. Assets that will be not be repossessed are called “exemptions”. Personal property, homes, cars, and many other assets are common exemptions. A court will determine what non-exempt assets will be repossessed.

The bankruptcy lawyers in Fort Walton Beach, Lewis & Jurnovoy, P.A. are a team dedicated to helping the people of their community. They stay updated on all new changes in bankruptcy law and strive to keep their clients updated as well. Along with posting answers to frequently asked questions, Lewis and Jurnovoy host a television program where they answer questions sent in by their community.

August 27, 2019 – – Mike Marko with IM Consultant Services in Cincinnati, Ohio has just announced the publication of his new post on LinkedIn marketing tips. He says that this article is intended for newbies in social media marketing who need to learn essential LinkedIn marketing strategies. He says that many are initially frustrated when using this platform, especially now that so many professional marketers (and thus, competitors) are already using it. Marko mentions that he himself took weeks to master the art of marketing on LinkedIn. Therefore, his own competitors initially left him behind by a great margin.

Marko asserts that it shouldn’t be that way. He says that business owners do not actually need to take years to be proficient in using LinkedIn. To demonstrate his point, he shares with them his knowledge about marketing through LinkedIn. His post provides important LinkedIn marketing tips that they can use to start marketing effectively on the platform in just a couple of minutes instead of weeks.

Marko starts with the first thing that LinkedIn beginners are required to do to reach more followers on this platform. That is, completing the company page’s information, which brings a lot of benefits to companies so it should never be ignored. Aside from that, a properly-filled company page increases online brand credibility. Marko also adds that creating company pages will give businesses a higher chance to be found on search engines because search engines crawl company pages.

The next tip in Marko’s list is to maximize the benefits of the company page. He notes that it is expected that the company page will contain all the details they need, like the website URL, the type of company, its size, its location, and its industry. In addition, Marko urges LinkedIn users to liven up a company page with a logo and cover photo since it will appear on their employees’ profiles and searches. He says that using the best photos will be a great advantage.

“Another Linkedin marketing strategy to improve people’s engagement is to post content on the company page. Posting content is important for brand awareness. But there are still other benefits of posting content,” Marko asserts. He notes that getting engagement is important since it can improve the audience’s loyalty to the brand, for example.

“When posting content, ensure that it’s relevant to the business,” Marko states. He advises business owners to avoid posting anything just to have a post. Instead, Marko suggests sharing company news and articles, and thought leadership write-ups. He also says it is possible to ask people to weigh in on trending topics. He suggests creating effective content too by using an interesting caption, compelling photo, and appropriate hashtags. By putting an interesting caption and image on a post’s preview, audiences may be intrigued into checking the content. Another thing that Marko asserts is that content with an attractive image gets more engagement. Thus, it pays to use only the best images for posts.

Marko goes on to say that no matter how great the content is, it won’t be effective if business owners do not post strategically or regularly. Doing that will increase the brand’s visibility on the Internet. That said, content should also be posted at the right time. If not, there’s a high chance that even great content will be ignored. Marko also advises marketing beginners that if they can’t spend a lot of time on LinkedIn, it is advisable to use marketing tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, and Sprout Social that can help the company page stay active without manual oversight.

Finally, Marko urges business owners to find their target audience and not wait for that audience to find them. He tells business owners that they should find a way to help the target audience see their company page. Marko says that there are many tools on LinkedIn that can help them do this and business owners only need to look around the platform to find them. For example, they can increase the exposure and engagement of their company page by using promoted content.

Marko and his company IM Consultant Services have been helping online businesses for years. The firm offers consultations to business owners and marketers that help them to better grow their businesses and reach a better return on marketing investment. Aside from that, Marko offers a wide range of instructional posts on his blog on topics that range from marketing opportunities to creating YouTube videos for brand promotion. He mentions that helping business owners grow their businesses is his passion. Marko has years of experience in this task and is admired as an expert in his field.

Marko encourages online business owners to read through his blogs to improve their marketing. He says that those who require more information on LinkedIn and how to use it to make a stronger brand campaign can read his latest post. Marko has helped many clients create their websites, set up their marketing campaigns for different social media sites, and improve their search engine optimization (SEO). His blog posts are therefore rooted in years of practical marketing experience. Those interested in learning more can either visit his website or get in touch with Marko through email or phone. He and his team offer consultations to business owners in need of marketing and branding assistance.
