Is incorporation the right choice?
September 5, 2018 Rose Arthurs
Important notice: Professional medical corporation information on MD's web site is based on existing incorporation rules which may be impacted by proposals announced in the Department of Finance's policy paper entitled "Tax Planning Using Private Corporations." MD is monitoring these proposals and we will update our tax planning strategies accordingly should rules change. For more details, please read MD's blog Tax Planning Using Private Corporations, What's Next: A Summary of Finance Announcements.
If you're a specialist earning more than $500,000 per year, incorporating your medical practice may seem like an obvious decision. If you are a family physician like Dr. A, however, the choice may not be so clear, particularly if you're balancing other financial goals.
Dr. A, age 37, has earned between $250,000 and $350,000 a year since finishing residency in 2007.
Currently, the Ontario physician splits his time between two jobs. Twice a week, you can find Dr. A working with his regional cancer program as a clinical lead. The rest of the week, he's at his group clinic, serving some of the city's most marginalized patients.
It was great to work with someone who had the financial expertise and the experience of seeing so many of us go through medical school and residency,
"We see people who are homeless, people who are new to Canada, people who are LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered)," says Dr. A, who himself is gay. "We also see people who don't fit into those categories."
Besides these two jobs, Dr. A also takes on consulting work from time to time.
Given his income level, it may have made sense for Dr. A to incorporate earlier in his career. But he had two short-term goals he wanted to focus on: repay his student debt and buy a home. "I was $180,000 in debt and I just wanted to be rid of it," says Dr. A. "I didn't want to be paying for a cheeseburger that I ate in 2001."
One of the things that helped Dr. A deal with his enormous debt was the guidance of an MD Advisor. "It was great to work with someone who had the financial expertise and the experience of seeing so many of us go through medical school and residency," he says.
While aggressively paying down his student debt, Dr. A also bought his first home in 2008, a pre-construction condo for $540,000. He paid off the loan by 2011 and moved into his unit in 2013.
Once he had achieved his short-term goals, Dr. A was ready to consider whether incorporating would be worthwhile. "I wanted to see what my cash flow was like before making this decision," he explains. "When I saw how much tax I was paying, I really welcomed the idea of finding a way to pay less tax."
Incorporating helps physicians minimize taxes in two ways: by deferring taxes on the funds in the corporation; and by splitting income with family members (in Ontario, it includes a spouse, children or parents). In order for income splitting to result in tax savings, the family members' income must be significantly lower.
That's one reason Dr. A wondered if incorporating would be the right decision for him. He can't benefit from income splitting because he has no dependants, and his parents and long-time partner are all high-income earners. What's more, he and his partner prefer to maintain separate homes and finances.
Despite this, it still looked like Dr. A might come out ahead if he incorporated—so he took the leap in September 2014. To his surprise, getting started was not nearly as daunting as he had expected. Dr. A's MD ExO® team connected him with a lawyer and accountant, as well as a bookkeeper. "The lawyer pretty much got everything done in a meeting or two, and I've been in regular contact with my accountant," he says.
For any incorporating physician, the key is to earn enough from your practice to draw a salary that covers personal needs while retaining enough money within the corporation to benefit from the lower corporate tax rates.
How did Dr. A's numbers look to his MD ExO team? Here is what they had estimated:
Professional income (from medical practice) $325,000 $325,000
Salary (amount he pays himself) –$132,000
Net income $325,000 $193,000
Personal income $325,000 $132,000
Taxes, personal –$130,000 –$40,500
Net salary $195,000 $91,500
Corporate net income $193,000
Taxes, corporation (15.5% in Ontario) –$30,000
Available for deferral $163,000
Total funds $195,000 $254,500*
*Initial setup costs are not included in this example, nor are annual legal and accounting fees. Note: Calculations are rounded off to the nearest hundred.
The table showed that if Dr. A remained unincorporated and earned $325,000 from his medical practice, he would pay income taxes of $130,000, resulting in a net salary of $195,000.
For the incorporation scenario, Dr. A estimated that he would need to draw a pre-tax salary of $132,000 ($91,500 after tax) from his $325,000 income. If he needs additional cash flow, the corporation could pay it to him as a dividend.
The corporate net income of $193,000 would be taxed at 15.5%, leaving $163,000 in the corporation. After tax, Dr. A's total funds would be $254,500 ($91,500 salary plus $163,000 retained in the corporation). That's potentially $59,500 more for being incorporated.
"Depending on my future income, it's not completely clear yet how beneficial incorporating will be," says Dr. A. "We'll see how it goes this year and go from there." That said, he's not losing any sleep over it and feels time will tell if it was a good decision.
Dr. A will continue working with his MD ExO team on all aspects of his financial plan, just as he has since starting medical school. "It's hard to believe how fast time has gone," he says. "Ten years ago, I was graduating from med school, owing more money than I'd ever made in my life. And now I actually have savings, a home and an incorporated practice."

Rural Vocational Training Centre is a by-product of the deep concern and selfless thought of Sri Sathya Sai Organisation, India (SSSSOI)aiming at improving the economic conditions of the unemployed youth in a particular village and to create areas of self-employment. Also it streamlines the youth by helping them to focus and hone their skills, rather than on unwarranted pursuits. Skill training is offered totally free of cost along with free boarding and lodging at select few centres where the youth do not have access to the centre from their village. Skill trainings are catered according to the needs of the neighbourhood of that particular village by RVTC.
To train unemployed youth from Sri Sathya Sai Village Integrated Program(SSSVIP) villages and its neighbourhood in multi skills that are required in the rural areas.
To help the trained youth to set up small service centers in their villages, enabling them to gain economic independence.
To avert migration of village youth to towns and cities.
To inculcate ethics and values in youth.
Of the 1300 million Indian Population, 40% are in the age group of 13-35 years, defined as youth in the National Youth Policy(520 million) and, in this age group, the unemployment rate is 13% (67 million) and will grow to 15.5% (80 million) within a year. This rise in youth unemployment is not only because of the direct economic costs, but also due to the social impact of joblessness manifested by increased crime, mental health problems, violence, drug taking and social exclusion are indicators of degenerating society.
To establish a harmonious society for peaceful coexistence, which is Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Sankalpam, SSSSO has undertaken well known activities like Vidya Seva, Vaidya Seva, Water projects, Balvikas etc.
Of all these, Balvikas, Swami's pet project, prepares the children who would certainly transform this society when they grow up (may be 15-20 years later). The SSSVIP programs, like Medicare(Vadya Seva), Narayana Seva (Annadhanam), protein distribution, housing etc serve the needs for the immediate present. The gap in between of these two i.e. of 15-25 years, when the current youth play a very important part in the competitive society, has to be filled with opportunities for these disadvantaged youth. The SSS RVTC Program (Sri Sathya Sai Rural Vocational Training Center), started in the year 2014, exactly addresses this problem. Though some of these activities have been going on even prior to 2014, this has been systematized in 2014 and so far, 9400 youth were trained with 26 Centers serving across India.
Provides Seva opportunity to members of SSSSO.
The skills are selected according to the requirement/need of the village.
In some centers, free boarding and lodging is provided for trainees. Districts, which do not have RVTC, can send youth from villages to these centers for training.
Integral to training curriculum is Sarva dharma principles, ethics, values and yoga.
The RVTC mission was declared as a National initiative in April 2014. Following this directive, a number of Centers (26 as on date) were started across India and are functioning well. A brief summary of the performance of these centers is presented herein to understand the extent of the achievement of the well thought out objectives and sustainability perspective.

Beaver Falls High School - Beaver Falls, PA
The first dedicated high school in Beaver Falls, often referred to as the 11th Street School or Central School, was built in 1872. It was located somewhere on 11th Street near where the U.S. Post Office building now sits. It had ten rooms and a small auditorium, which was converted and divided into two additional classrooms three years later. The first commencement was held on May 20, 1879.
A new two-story high school, also known as the Seventh Avenue School, was built in 1910 on Seventh Avenue between 17th and 18th Streets. An addition was made to this school in 1922 and a new gymnasium was opened in January 1926. An article in the New Castle News on January 29, 1926, reads in part, "No more is it necessary to play on the most unique floor in the world, the old cork spread in a boxlike gymnasium." The school sports teams adopted the nickname of the Tigers.
The third Beaver Falls High School, located on Eighth Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets, was built in 1930-1931. It had twenty-four classrooms and a large connected building with an auditorium and gymnasium. A series of sports fields were built behind the school, but the football team played their games at 5,500-seat Reeves Field/Stadium (opened in October 1925) at nearby Geneva College. Several additions were later built to the school in 1949 and 1978 to enlarge the capacity of the student body.
The most famous student of this school was undoubtedly local bad boy Joseph "Joe" Namath, a 1961 graduate who excelled in baseball, basketball, and football. The controversial Namath, nicknamed "Broadway Joe," went on to become a star quarterback with the University of Alabama and the AFL/NFL's New York Jets. He led Alabama to the National Championship in 1964, quarterbacked the Jets to victory in Super Bowl III in 1969, and was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985.
In the early 1970's the school board exploring the idea of building a fourth generation and much larger high school. At that time the local school district expanded as its absorbed students from neighboring areas including Koppel. In July 1970, the school board authorized the purchase of an eighty-acre site just to the north of the existing high school on Eighth Avenue. The site was the former home of the Keystone Driller Company, a pioneering oil and water well drilling outfit founded by Robert M. Downie back in the 1880's. I believe the company closed down operations back in 1952.
The new modern Beaver Falls Area Senior High School, which cost over $11 million to construct, opened for classes on Tuesday, August 29, 1978. As part of the Big Beaver Falls Area School District it currently houses about 800 students in grades 9-12 from Beaver Falls and the surrounding areas to include Homewood, Koppel, and New Galilee. The vacated high school next door was renovated and reopened as the Beaver Falls Middle School housing students in grades 6-8.

(EDITOR'S NOTE) Jo Ann, thanks for your compliment on the pictures. I have many more to post in the future. As far as the website name, well I started this as a project to document various historical aspects of Lawrence County. However, I love research and its been difficult to contain my research so I've branched out into the neighboring counties – to include Beaver County. One day I may expand this site to include all of Lawrence, Beaver, Butler, and Mercer Counties. But that's a ways off. Anyway, thanks again. Jeff

this is a great website. I too graduated from BFHS in 1975. for those interested in viewing old BF high school yearbooks, visit the Carnegie Library branch on 7th Ave. ask staffers to visit the upstairs research room, they have several vintage copies of the BF yearbooks, not for sale, but for viewing. I suggest taking a digital camera and make photo copies of what you'd like for a keepsake. Do it soon, while things are still free with no admission costs, etc.

This is great. One correction is that the old 11th Street School was two blocks east of the post office. My father's law office was at 610 11th Street, near the elementary school. Several Tenors attended that school including yours truly. Ms. Boyce, my sister Joy Tenor graduated in 1952. Did you know her?

I remember seeing Joe Namath playing in a football game at the Ben Franklin stadium in New Castle against a New Castle team probably in 1960. It was obvious he was something special as a quarterback then because I had never seen a high school QB throw a football like he did. He threw tight spirals on a rope and always hit his receiver in the numbers. I don't remember the score but I would imagine it was lopsided in Beaver Falls favor!

The photos are fantastic! I would like to see all of the team members of Larry Brunos basketball, softball and footballs teams shown during those winning years with Joe Namath. Those guys were all the greatest players in the state of Pennsylvania!
Are there any pictures of Karlin "Butch" Ryan during his coaching years. I believe he coached a young lady that went to the Olympics(?0.
— Rebecca Pace Jones · 02/11/2019 07:45 PM · #
Rebecca, I think the Carnegie Library in B.F. would have the Butch Ryan photos as they hold many, if not all, of the old yearbooks. Additionally, your local library would be able to borrow microfilm of the old News Tribune for the years he played and I am sure there would photos there. Make sure you request the film for the months football was played.

"Thank you for the beautiful work you do. I am so grateful for the healing and the learning I experience in your presence. It is a gift to my eyes and heart, observing the way you relate, whether it be your wife, our ancestors, mother earth, or Creator. You demonstrate a focused truthfulness, and a manner of receiving that is so fully aglow with joy and gratitude. Your open-heartedness creates a space of complete safety, disarming the influence of illusion. It is in that space that I am able to touch the truth that I am. In wonder of this wonderful world"
"Filtered, Whole and Complete. Thank You!"
"a little update - since our session, my cash flow has improved significantly.... also, my mind has magically shifted out of the old paradigm of taking care of others first (and often to my own detriment). Now it is normal to take time for myself (no matter what crisis the rest of the world is having) - what a relief! Thank you for living your work and your truth - you give me courage to do the same :)"
"Shamanistic Healing through sessions with Peter has been the profound pivotal point in my healing process. I am a registered nurse, and have sought out a multitude of medical opinions and treatment modalities. Peter's cumulative approach of shamanism and energy healing is the only healing modality that has addressed the physical, bodily, mental and spiritual aspects of my illness. This approach has brought me to a higher level of awareness of how all are interrelated and must be in harmony for healing of any disease or illness to begin. Upon the first session, I began to have a greater level of awareness of the universal connection between energy, the mind, the body and the spirit, a sense of clarity and hope became apparent. The feeling of physical, mental and spiritual well being following a healing session with Peter is incomparable and far beyond any other medical modality I have utilized thus far. I feel that shamanism and energy healing can enhance and provided significant benefits necessary for resolution of illness in combination with Western medicines approach."
I can't explain what Peter does or how he does it...he facilitated a connection for me with one of my Guides, with whom I now have a powerful, conscious relationship. Peter's non-threatening, gentle Spirit creates fertile ground for healing to happen..."
"It's hard to describe what you experience during one of your sessions, but the difference before and after is profoundly tangible."
"My experience with Peter was totally experiential and liberating beyond words.
"Someone that I loved and cared for very deeply passed away 3 weeks prior to my session. He appeared to me during my session. I was holding on to guilt and regret. He reassured me that what we experienced together was pure love and that I needed to let that energy go. I saw him as I remembered him, but my heart felt him as pure love.
I feel very honored and blessed that my journey has lead me to Peter Bulliard. I highly recommend this work for anyone who is open and willing to return to their authentic self.
Peace to all. Love to all. Light to all. ~Namaste"
"The session was seriously incredible and it did far more than make a difference; it realigned me. It saved me years of work on 'self' and removed obstacles and distracters from my path that would have likely taken me years (if not life-times) to clear.
Every single atom of my being was changed--elevated to a higher rate of functioning (vibration) and not a single part of me was unaffected. Already I notice my day-to-day interaction more grounded in spirit and there is a clarity I have not felt in myself since I left my teaching and returned to work in the world. My heart is lighter, I feel more assured, and it is if I am walking (once again) with Grace. On the table, through your guidance, I experienced 'returning' that I can only describe a 'remembering home' or 'going home' And indeed that is where I went, home; unencumbered, unburdened, at ease... Whole... Healed... Changed... Home. I am indebted to you and your guides for assisting me, for freeing me up, for realigning my energies. I cannot thank you enough for your healing work and I look forward to our next sessions. "

Born and raised in Brooklin.
William John Medland was a true native son of Brooklin. He was born October 24, 1900. On April 20, 1927, Bill married Etta Pearl White, a country girl born December 17, 1903. Together, they lived at 26 Queen Street, where they raised their son, John. Once grown, John, his wife Jean and eventually their children worked with Bill in the Medland family business.
Starting out as a painter, Bill was later employed by Patterson Dairy. He worked at the creamery until 1941, when he purchased the livery stable at 6 Campbell Street, beside the Brooklin Hotel. The hotel eventually became the present day Royal Canadian Legion #152. From this location, he operated W. J. Medland and Son Feed Store.
Local farmers bought their seed from Bill and homes were heated using his coal. He made a point of ensuring that families who couldn't afford to pay did not go without heat. In 1970, Bill sold the coal business to Dixon Fuels in Oshawa. The old building was eventually demolished in 2001 to make room for a small plaza.
Bill and Etta were loved by many and highly respected in the Brooklin community. In 1948, Bill was named Master of Mount Zion Masonic Lodge #39 and was later presented with a 60 year pin. Etta herself was a Master of Contract Bridge. After 58 years of marriage Bill passed away on August 21, 1985. Etta followed shortly thereafter on May 20, 1986. The couple are buried in Groveside Cemetery.
Barb Medland won the Jody Edwards painting at our 2019 annual homecoming
/reunion we host at the Legion. Jean Medland drew the winning ticket. A perfect way to end the day!

The Brooklin Concretes softball team, whose successes created a sense of pride for the community of Brooklin, was to be inducted into the Whitby Sports Hall of Fame last April until COVID postponed the event for a year. A Shout-Out to Nancy Mitchell who worked hard to put together a full history to secure their nomination!
The Concretes were born in 1963 when players from the Brooklin Stevenson Motors team joined with players from Mount Zion. This new team, which played to exuberant crowds who filled the Brooklin Memorial Park stands, joined the Oshawa City and District Softball League and developed a reputation for strong performances.
In their second season, the Concretes advanced to the league semi-finals. However it was at the regional and provincial levels where the players accomplished their most outstanding achievements. Competing in the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA) Intermediate C division playoffs, the Concretes captured Southern Ontario titles in 1964 and 1966, earning the right to play for the All-Ontario championship. In both years, they played a team from Capreol.
The 1964 squad, coached by Dib Little, advanced through four playoff rounds to capture the Southern Ontario championship. The Concretes eliminated Elmvale, Markham, Selkirk, and Tweed, recording eight wins and just two losses. Their crackerjack pitchers were so skilled that in 10 games, the opposing teams scored just 26 runs.
The 1964 All Ontario championship was a best-of-three series with all games in Brooklin. After they dropped the ball, losing 2-1 in the opening game, the Concretes bounced back to win their first provincial title by securing the next two games with scores of 3-1 and 4-2.
Two years later, with Coach Bill Harper at the helm, the Concretes faced a tougher challenge in the OASA Intermediate C Finals: they had to win six playoff series to become the Southern Ontario Champions. They accomplished it with wins over Battersea, Bridgenorth, Fisherville, Markham, Merlin and Minden, winning 12 of 15 games and with a combined score of 127 to 28. Five of those wins were shutouts! Brooklin defeated Capreol in the provincial finals, winning 2-1 and 5-1 to capture their second All Ontario title.

It's a Gas!
On June 25, 1995, the Consumers Gas Company in Whitby, along with their authorized dealer, Advantage Air Care in Brooklin, was pleased to inform Maureen and Gord Stevens that they were the winners of the draw for a brand new furnace installation to the value of $3,500.00. The arrival of natural gas to Brooklin was announced on July 20, 1995, at the lighting of the torch ceremony in front of the Luther Vipond arena, where Maureen was given the honour of "throwing" the switch. Mayor Tom Edwards attended the ceremony, along with Consumers Regional General Manager, Paddy Davis. Because Maureen and Gord were one of the first 100 natural gas customers in Brooklin, the happy couple also received a coupon from Uxbridge Nurseries Ltd. for a free 2 ft Spruce Tree. This tree was planted in the back yard of their house on Queen Street and is now a 30 ft beauty! Maureen and Gord were sorry they couldn't take the tree with them when they moved to Kimberly Drive.

Brooklin's First Pharmacy
By Jennifer Bailey Hudgins
Russell (Russ) Short graduated from the University of Toronto School of Pharmacy and his first place of employment was with Jury and Lovell in Oshawa. In the late 40's he moved to Toronto to work for Hoopers Drug Store at Bloor and Sherbourne where he partnered with Bill Burgess, son of the owner.
1950's saw the introduction of discount retail making retailing by the smaller service providers more challenging, so Russ made the decision to relocate to a town that could support a Pharmacy. This was at a time when Brooklin was growing with a new residential subdivision and the community supported a medical centre as well as doctors offices.
Russ purchased 65 Baldwin Street and moved with his wife Bernice and sons Bob, Jim and Gary to Queen Street in Brooklin. Construction of Short's Pharmacy commenced in 1959 with the grand opening in May 1960. Brooklin's first Pharmacy! The family then purchased a home on North Street.
In the early days the store was open 7 days a week with extended hours on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. ( 9 to 9 ) and new jobs were brought into the village when Russ employed locals. The pharmacy served an area well beyond Brooklin, as flyers were regularly distributed to residents as far as Locust Hill in the west, Hampton to the east and Greenbank to the north.
In 1971 Russ was joined by Bill Burgess who re-located from Toronto to live in Ashburn. In 1980 Russ suffered a stroke and was not able to return to the Pharmacy. His partner Bill Burgess continued on with the business, and at his retirement, Bill's daughter Peggy Frankovich took over. Russ passed away in 1984 and is buried in his home town of Bowmanville.
The Booth, an old time concession stand
In 1936 my Grandmother, Hattie Bailey opened a concession stand in the orchard between her house at 149 Baldwin Street, N and my Grandfather Jerry's Sunoco service station at 157.
This stand was referred to as "the Booth" and it was from here that Hattie sold sandwiches, beverages, baked goods, candy, cigarettes, ice cream and paintings by local artist Cliff Delong.
It was here that Verna Sonley Hodson began to work at the age of twelve in the summers before her marriage to Ray. A neighbour, Mrs Pengally baked pies Hattie sold by the slice and local women brought flowers from their gardens. Members of Rebecca Lodge had their tea parties in the orchard and the UCW held quilting bees.
Before closing "the Booth" in 1953, Hattie also operated a concession stand for many years at the Brooklin Spring Fair.

AWB Health Care Webinar Focuses on Long Term Care Fund Tax
The window to opt out of a new state program — and avoid a new tax — is short for Washington workers.
Join AWB on Aug. 23 for a free webinar to learn more.
Employees who wish to avoid paying the new tax must have their own, qualified long-term care coverage in place by October 31, 2021 and proactively opt out of the state program. The applications to apply for an exemption should be available starting Oct. 1, according to the state Employment Security Department reports. Details are pending.
Without an exemption, workers will start paying a new payroll tax of 0.58% on their wages beginning Jan. 1. The money will be used to pay for a new long-term care fund managed by the state. Employers will be responsible for collecting and remitting the tax payments to the state for employees who do not receive an exemption.
The new tax comes to about $300 a year for a worker that makes $52,000.
"Now's the time for employers and workers to explore this issue and learn more," says Debra Brown, president of Forterra, Inc., AWB's employer services arm. "Employers should be talking to their staff about this issue now, because the deadline is coming up quickly. And employees should be exploring their long-term care coverage and start planning if they haven't already."

Do you think robots will replace jobs in near future?
Science & TechnologyJobsSocial ThreatGeneral Topics
The debate over man vs robot has been there for quite some time, yet it is looking for a substantial reply, especially when it comes to a threat to jobs. A recent study done by Forrester unfolds that robots will eliminate 6% of all jobs in the US by 2021 which is serious. Jobs that have maximum threats from robots include customer service representatives and truck and taxi drivers. Listed below are a few reasons.
Revolution in Technology
The past one decade has been extremely significant as far as the revolution in technology is concerned. Automation and robotization have already revolutionized the industrial arena in the past 40 years. We might witness a few more engineering marvels in the coming years, especially having an improved and potent robotic body.
High Productivity at Low Cost
We have seen that introducing robots to manufacturing not only raised productivity but also helped cut down the cost. Although the introduction came at the cost of a number of employment in the sector, due to this the efficiency and the quality of the product have been improved drastically. Robots are creating wonders, aren't they?
Will Robots Devour All Jobs?
Not really. Such changes do not take place overnight. Remember, how long it took computers to make a significant presence in our lives. Although, time has changed and things are occurring with the speed of light in our lives, but one thing can be said here that the manufacturers of robots will require manpower to build them and diagnose in case there is a breakdown. At least, at an initial stage, and this where we take over.

A: The root cause was using both failsafe and surefire plugins, just had to remove one and now the tests only execute once.

A: You can also do this in your pom.xml to skip surefire and handle everything through failsafe:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.22.2</version>
    <configuration>
        <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

If you enable both the plugins, execution happens twice.

California Drug Injury Attorney
Have you been the victim of a defective drug?
Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) works to regulate consumer products, including over-the-counter drugs and prescription medicines, dangerous or defective drugs are frequently distributed throughout the United States. If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective drug, it is important that you consider contacting a drug injury lawyer as soon as possible.
If your injuries were caused because the drug was improperly tested or was wrongly prescribed to you, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your losses. Pacific Attorney Group can meet with you during a free initial consultation to talk about what side effects you or a loved one experienced and how these may relate to a defective drug. Our legal team has over 35 years of legal experience to apply to your case, as well as the resources needed to conduct a full investigation into the incident.
We handle all types of drug injury claims, including those cases involving:
The prescription drug of Accutane (generic name Isotretinoin) is prescribed to help with severe recalcitrant nodular acne. While it has been proven to help with troubled skin, it is not without a price as the drug has been shown to cause severe birth defects, blindness, deafness, Chron's disease and more.
Approved by the FDA in 1999, Actos (generic name pioglitazone hydrochloride) was released by Takeda Chemical Industries to help those suffering from typae 2 diabetes. Since then, studies have linked the taking of Actos with swelling, weight gain and, more seriously, the increased risk of bladder cancer.
Avandia (generic name Rosiglitazone) was released by GlaxoSmithKline to help with type 2 diabetes. Since then, the drug has become controversial, being linked to severe cardiovascular disorders. One study reported than over 47,000 have suffered heart attack, heart failure, stroke and death due to the taking of this drug.
Byetta
Released by Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Byetta (generic name exenatide) is an injection that is used to help with type 2 diabetes by helping the body to increase production of natural insulin. It, however, has been linked to serious side effects ranging from nausea to GERD, kidney problems and even pancreatitis.
Fentanyl Pain Patch
As a more intensive form of pain management, the usage of Fentanyl pain patches have come under serious scrutiny over the past few years. It is reported that Fentanyl is over 80 times stronger than morphine, but it is not without its dangers. It is easy to overdose on Fentanyl, leading to a voluntary recall by the manufacturer.
Fleet Phospho-Soda
Phospho Soda, released by C.B. Fleet Company, has been linked to severe Acute Phosphate Nephropathy. According to the FDA, the laxative was found to lead to "acute kidney injury" and causing symptoms such as high blood pressure, abnormal heartbeat and even failure of the kidneys altogether.
Fluoroquinolones
As a group of antibiotics used to treat respiratory and urinary tract infections, fluoroquinolones have been linked to serious side effects, such as tendon damage. Ruptured tendons have resulted from the taking of the drug, resulting in the need for surgery or life-long disabilities.
Manufactured by Merck & Co., Fosamax (generic name Alendronate Sodium), is used to help treat the symptoms of osteoporosis, namely in elderly women. Since its release, the drug has been linked to several adverse side effects, primarily muscle pain and heart burn, leading to a class action lawsuit in 2006.
Gadolinium
Used in MRI and MRA procedures, the chemical element of gadolinium has been shown to have serious and even fatal side effects, such as kidney disease, shortness of breath, hives and blood clots. The main two problems, however, are severe allergic reaction, as well as nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).
Provigil
The prescription medication of Provigil (generic name Modafinil), was manufactured by Cephalon Inc. to assist in wakefulness with adults struggling with excessive sleepiness of any kind. Side effects associated with the drug include erythema multiform (EM), DRESS, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) and more.
Raptiva
Manufactured by Genentech, the prescription drug of Raptiva was recalled in 2009 due to an increased risk of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). This disorder is severe and can cause symptoms such as headaches, difficulty with memory, blindness, lack of coordination and general weakness in the limbs.
Used to help treat the symptoms of heartburn, Reglan (generic name Metoclopramide) was released by Schwartz Pharma in the U.S. in the form of injections. The drug, however, was later linked to serious side effects, such as depression, confusion, as well as Tardive Dyskinesia and Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome.
Manufactured by Bayer AG, Trasylol (generic name aprotinin) was used to help prevent blood loss during transfusions. Despite usage worldwide, the drug has been shown to cause life-threatening side effects, such as kidney failure, heart attacks and stroke, especially when used during surgery and has been recalled.
One of the most popular forms of birth control, YAZ or Yasmin (generic name Ocella), manufactured by Bayer, has come under serious scrutiny over the last few years. This is due to the severe side effects that have been attributed to the drug, including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Defective Drug Deaths
While some side effects (such as nausea, dizziness and confusion), can be inconvenient and even painful, there are certain drugs that have been linked with even more distressing symptoms, such as death. If you have lost a loved one to the taking of a dangerous drug, contact our firm to learn how we can help.
Consult a California Drug Injury Attorney
In cases involving defective drugs, it is sometimes necessary to bring a lawsuit against a large pharmaceutical company that may have an entire legal department or team of attorneys to handle claims such as yours. Fortunately, the attorneys at our law firm have the experience and resources to handle your case, even in negotiations or civil court litigation against a pharmaceutical giant. It is always our primary goal to protect your rights and interests through every step of the legal process. Take this opportunity to learn more about your case, your rights and your options. Contact our offices to speak with a California Drug Injury Attorney about your unique situation.

Finally, I am sitting down to thank you for our wonderful Rosy's experience. From our first meeting almost two years before the wedding, right through to the end, it was a pleasure and a privilege to work with you and your staff. There was never in all the months of long-distance planning a moment when I did not enjoy working with you, and feel I was treated, not only professionally, but with care, calmness, courtesy, and total competence. My confidence was not misplaced, as on the evening of the wedding, everything was spectacular — Rosy's looked so beautiful, inside and out, the food was absolutely delicious (I only wish I'd had time to taste everything!), and you and your staff were the best. Truly I knew I was in capable hands and was able to just enjoy the fabulous party! Of course my early concerns about the size of the crowd turned out to be unnecessary. Even in the end, when the bridesmaids' limo bus went AWOL wit hall their personal belongings inside, I asked for a phone book so I could call the company. Instead, you went into action yourself and had the situation handled and resolved in a matter of minutes! What a relief that was.

Merchandise exports down 10.3%...
Merchandise exports down 10.3% in July, trade deficit widens
Monday, 17 August 2015 | 00:00
After a raft of positive economic data, India's foreign trade capped the week with some disappointment. Merchandise Exports were down 10.3 per cent in July to $23.3 billion. This was the eighth straight month of contraction in exports.
Imports, too, declined by 10.28 per cent to $35.94 billion in July, due to a fall in oil imports. Trade deficit recorded an 8-month high of $12.81 billion, government data showed.
Petroleum exports was the hardest hit due to softening of crude oil prices in the global market. Petroleum product shipments were down by 43.22 per cent, leather and leather goods by 10.15 per cent, marine products by 17.6 per cent and chemicals by 6.22 per cent.
On the imports side, oil imports came down 35 per cent to $9.48 billion. Oil imports account for about 31 per cent of the total imports. But gold imports increased by 62.22 per cent to $2.96 billion. Gold is the major contributor in India's increasing trade deficit. Non-oil imports too grew by 3.8 per cent.
India's premier exporters body expressed concern but said that August may be a turnaround. "It is a matter of concern as the decline is continuing. But going for the figures of 10 days in August, we are expecting a little turnaround in August. From September, there will be the impact of base effect," Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President S C Ralhan said.

Get ready to party! Occombe Festival is back - 14 & 15 June 2019
Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, organisers of the annual Occombe Festival, is getting Occombe Farm ready for its biggest event of the year. The barns have been cleared, the bars have been scrubbed and the beer is ordered! Occombe Festival 2019 is now only days away!
This popular local festival has grown massively in popularity over the years and earned the reputation for being more than just a two day beer festival on a farm in South Devon. What started out as a celebration of local ales has evolved to applaud local food and music too. But although the festival has changed beer is still a massive part and there will be over 30 varieties of beers, ales and ciders to try.
As important as the ales is the festival's music line-up. This year the Trust has invested even more resources than ever before into bringing performers from outside of the county, aiming to provide a chance to see bands not normally accessible on the local music circuit. Like, Bristol based, serial knee jerkers Mr Tea and the Minions, who are playing Festival Friday and bringing their own unique take on full power Balkan flavoured Ska, Dub, Swing and Folk, inspiring uncontrollable silly dancing and wild bouts of jumping around!
On Festival Saturday five piece Black Water County, from Bournemouth, will be bringing us their fusion of folk instruments, punk energy and catchy pop melodies, with sing-along choruses to rouse our Occombe audience! Jake Morrell, also joining us on Saturday, could have come straight out of Nashville, or even from the Californian sunshine. He is bringing us a taste of his own American country style music with smooth choruses to inspire even more singing along, hopefully in the Occombe sunshine!
The Trees, Rum Puppets, Daisy Clark and the Kaizens are making their debut appearances on the Occombe Stage, whilst festival friends Firekind, the Blues Brothers Collective and Mafia 4 are returning to get our fists pumping and feet stomping! Local bands Dr Oz and Mammoth will be overseeing massive rip-roaring closes to Friday and Saturday evenings respectively, both with a humungous array of our favourite covers.
And new for 2019 Occombe Festival has offered a platform to three local young performers to play to a festival audience; an opportunity for us all to champion local young talent. We can't wait to welcome Charlotte, Izzy and Owen to the farm stage!
As always some of our most loved regional street food vendors will be on hand, providing a mouth-watering menu of dishes such as gourmet burgers, dirty fries, handmade pizzas, noodles and much more.
Occombe Festival is an essential fundraising event for organiser's Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, which cares for a massive 1,750 acres of Torbay's most beautiful natural places. These special places include Occombe Farm, Cockington Country Park and Berry Head National Nature Reserve and a host of wildlife friendly woodlands, meadows, stunning cliffs and coastlines. All the profits from the festival go directly to the Trust to help care for and maintain these sites in Torbay; providing places for public enjoyment, recreation and habitats for wildlife. Just collecting litter from our sites costs over £25,000 per year! So, the Occombe Festival really is all about 'Good times that do good'!
Damian Offer, Chief Executive of Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust said,
"We are excited about the way Occombe Festival has evolved to become a celebration of music, local food and local ales and ciders. Whilst it is primarily about raising funds for the Trust it's an opportunity to provide our community with a fantastic fun-filled weekend of entertainment in a great atmosphere!"
"It's a great alternative to the bars and clubs in the town, offers 'barn to barn' fun, in a happy, safe environment, in a stunning countryside setting. This is why we welcome back so many regular festival goers every year!"
There are free buses from stops throughout Torquay and Paignton to and from Occombe Farm, which means that stumbling home afterwards is all sorted for you!

File & Database Backups
Big Data (Coming Soon)
Progressive Virtual Full Backups – The Best of Most Worlds!
Data is one of the most critical assets an organization needs to survive and grow. Therefore, it's vital the information that matters most is reliably backed up in a way that makes it quickly available should something happen to the primary source. Progressive Virtual Full (PVF) Backups provide an efficient way to safeguard data more reliably, easily, and cost-effectively than most traditional methods.
It should be noted that backup strategies come in many flavors, and there is no "one size fits all" solution. The are trade-offs based on a number of variables such as budget, speed requirements, retention periods, and restore objectives. Also, be sure not to confuse the difference between snapshots your cloud provider might offer and a comprehensive file-based backup strategy. Before we begin, let's take a look at some commonly used methodologies.
Full Periodic Backups
This is the most basic technique. One just stores an entire (full) copy of a dataset to another storage device or media at the desired frequency. For example, you would completely back up your data every week or daily. Full backups are helpful on the restore side because all the data is in one place. The disadvantages are long backup times, the storage space needed, and inflexibility compared to other methods.
Differential Incremental
Often referred to simply as incremental backups – this starts with a full backup. From then on, only the data that changes each following day (or desired period) gets copied. For example, if you were on a weekly rotation, a full backup would be done on Sunday night. On Monday night, an incremental backup would be performed that only captures the changes for that day. On Tuesday night, another backup would be done to reflect changes on Tuesday, and so on. At the end of the week, you would have the full backup, plus separate "incrementals" for each day from Monday through Saturday evening. An issue with this approach is that if any of the backups become damaged, you can only do a full restore to that point in time.
Cumulative Incremental
Similar to the differential process, an initial full backup is created. From there, data is backed up in a "building" manner on each subsequent day (or desired period). Let's use our weekly model again and assume we started with a full backup Sunday evening. The changes in the data on Monday would be backed up. However, on Tuesday, we would make a backup containing the data that changed on that day, plus Monday's changes. On Wednesday, we would create another backup to include all the changes for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. At the end of the week, you would then have the full backup, plus separate backups for each day from Monday through Saturday evening – each of these backups includes all the changes that came before it.
For both types of incremental procedures, sophisticated software using time-stamping or other methods manage the changes to ensure proper restores can be done. Since you're dealing with less data, incrementals can be used more often since less storage is required. However, the software overhead to recompile these backups goes up over time and restores become increasingly slower since you need each incremental backup along with the full backup for a restore.
For each of the methods described above, when the retention period ends – the cycle begins again and the original data is effectively overwritten. If you want to keep full backups over a longer period of time, archiving is a good option.
Clusterlogics Evolution to Progressive
Virtual Full Backups
Our original backup solution started as a process whereby we created three network-based full backups per retention period (start, middle, end). Next, we enhanced the process and our technology to create virtual full backups to avoid congestion over the various networks. In this scenario, we ran an original network-based full (seed) backup, and then "forever incrementals" over the network. Future required "fulls" were then created directly on a backup storage drive using the last full backup plus all the incrementals. This resulted in three "fulls" per retention (start middle and end), but, only the original full backup was ever taken over the network. The final step in the evolution was our PVF Backup offering which we will explain next.
How do Progressive Virtual
Full Backups Work?
First, an initial full backup (seed) is created and sent over the network to storage.
Next, on-going cumulative incremental backups are taken at selected time intervals. For example, these would be daily if we use our week-long model as the retention period. The interval frequency can be virtually anything you want. Ideal retention periods are typically a few months or less.
Once the retention point has been reached, the process changes by taking the last full backup, adding the incremental changes during the initial retention period, and then creating a new PVF Backup directly on the backup storage device.
From that point on, data that changes during the chosen interval period (daily for example) will continually be recompiled with the PVF Backup to create a new, up-to-date version of itself.
In essence, we always maintain a current copy of a recompiled full backup based on the original data. This provides a very recent and entire dataset that is accurate and extremely fast to restore.
We believe PVF Backups offers some of the best principles from past policies, combined with an innovative new approach. It ensures that the original seed backup never ages as it's technically re-created each day. It also conserves disk space on the backup storage device since only one full copy is stored at a time with incrementals making up the rest of the retention.
Our new PVF Backup capability offers our clients and partners a way to ensure the highest level of backup and restore integrity with cost-effective ease and efficiency.
