Wearing contact lenses can be a great alternative to eyeglasses. But like any product you may rely on everyday, keeping up with the daily doldrums can be difficult. However, there is a new contact lens-related app in the app store that makes the contact lens experience a little easier.
LensFacts by Optifree offers many new tools and a depth of information relating to lens wear.
The first tool the app gives you is the "How's it going?" page. Here you can log your daily eye comfort to track when your contact lenses become uncomfortable. It keeps data for the last 30 days in a personal Eye Log which can be extremely useful for patients who over wear lenses – or aren't sure when the lenses should be thrown out. Contact lens over wear is a serious problem and I support any tool that might lead to increased compliance.
Speaking of contact lens compliance, the rate at which patients follow their doctor's recommended throw away schedule is dismal. The LensFacts app keeps track of when you last put your lens in and when it should be tossed. It will even alert you or add a calendar event to remind you that you've reached you lens wear limit.
The contact lens app also gives you very good and concise info on contacts in general – including tips on inserting & removing, why generic solutions are a poor choice and other general interest articles. There is an "Ask The Expert" section, videos and ways to learn more about your contact lenses.
Lastly, the app allows you to save your doctor's contact information, so if any questions or concerns arise you can contact your eye doctor immediately. Its important for any contact lens wearer to have a good relationship with their doctor in order to maintain healthy eyes.
I believe this new app is a handy tool for contact lens wearers to make sure their eyes are healthy today and remain healthy in the future.

National Youth Service Programme
SAASTA is inviting unemployed Science, Engineering and Technology graduates to apply to volunteer their services at different host institutions that are currently participating in the National Youth Service Programme (NYSP) nationally. This will grant our youth an opportunity to strengthen and develop their skills, thus preparing and exposing them to the working environment.
Primary School Science Intervention
The Primary School Science Intervention is a SAASTA-funded project devoted to promoting science in primary schools. The project is conducted nationally annually and targets grades 6 to 9 educators. Every year SAASTA identifies areas and topics that need to be addressed and decides on a theme for that academic year.
Role Modelling
SAASTA's Science Education Unit implements a career profiling project, which exposes learners to role models with various qualifications in science, engineering and technology (SET). The intervention provides learners with appropriate role models/mentors who, in turn, aim to entice these learners into pursuing careers in SET.
TechnoYouth is a three-day workshop aimed at underprivileged learners in grades 8 and 9 from areas in and around Gauteng. The workshop introduces them to technology in an informal, fun and friendly manner. The workshop takes place during the school holidays – four times a year.

- How the Modern Command Center Is Improving Security at Sporting Events
by Dennis Van Milligen August 2015
The Oakland Raiders are most commonly associated with deceased owner Al Davis, the man famous for the phrase, "Just win, baby." In this century, winning has been hard to come by for the Raiders, who have posted five or fewer victories in 10 of the past 12 seasons, including a three-year stretch from 2006 to 2008 in which they won 11 games combined. While the team on the field was anything but elite during that time, it was the team behind the scenes, specifically within its command center, that was developing into the envy of other NFL franchises.
- Missouri Board OKs $15M for Stadium Construction
by Jason Scott August 2015
In an effort to retain the Rams or lure another NFL franchise to the city, a Missouri board approved $15 million in tax credits on Tuesday to help build a new football stadium in downtown St. Louis.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, along with the Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority, proposed the new stadium along the Mississippi River to counter the Rams' possible move back to Los Angeles, where Rams owner Stan Kroenke has proposed building a $1.8 billion stadium.
As Fox Sports reports, the Missouri Development Finance Board approved the $15 million tax credit plan, despite opposition from board member and Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder. The sports authority plans to request an additional $17.5 million in tax credits in each of the next two years, bringing the total to $50 million.
The proposed riverfront project is estimated to come with a $998 million price tag. A plan presented to the board on Tuesday laid out a way to raise another $610 million, utilizing funds from an NFL team owner, an NFL loan program, and the sale of seat licenses. Under that plan, the state would need to issue another $201 million in bonds, and $187 million in tax credits and other incentives.
Lawmakers who oppose the plan, including Representative Jay Barnes, issued a lawsuit saying that a taxpayer-funded stadium project should have approval from the state legislature.
"If you want to be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, you cannot move forward on this proposal as it is presented," Barnes said to members of the board.
While some members of the legislature have vowed to fight funding the new stadium, members of the board praised the plan as a boost to the economy.
"Our singular focus ought to be what's best for the economic development of the state of Missouri," said board member Reuben Shelton.

Looking for a light low calorie lunch you can prepare in advance and take to work? This flavoursome and filling salad would make a great addition to your lunchbox!
The beauty of this salad is that it can be prepared in advance and then chilled in the fridge for a few hours until you're ready to eat. You could even take an individual portion (sealed in an airtight container) to work with you as a packed lunch. If you can't get hold of fresh or frozen crab, use canned instead.
Preparation: 15 minutes
Standing: 10 minutes
Serves: 2
Per serving:
315 kcal
31g protein
32g carbs
7g fat
- 75g (2 oz) couscous
- 150ml ( int) boiling water
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon quark or virtually fat-free fromage frais
- 225g (8 oz) crab meat, flaked (or crab sticks)
- 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
- ed onion, finely chopped
- 175g (6oz) ripe cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- mixed salad leaves, to serve
- lemon wedges, to garnish
- Put the couscous in a large bowl and pour over the boiling water. Cover the bowl with cling film or a plate and leave to stand for about 10 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and quark or fromage frais until thoroughly blended.
- Gently stir in the crab meat, spring onions, red onion, cherry tomatoes and cucumber, and mix well to combine.
- Finally, fluff the couscous, separating the grains with a fork, and add this to the crab mixture, stirring well. Season with black pepper to taste and gently mix in the chopped mint.
- Cover the couscous salad and chill in the fridge until required. Serve on a bed of salad leaves, garnished with a wedge of lemon.
- An alternative way to serve this lovely salad is to top each portion with a spoonful of virtually fat-free fromage frais. You can even fold a little into the couscous before serving for a different texture.
- Make a traditional vegetarian Lebanese tabbouleh with bulgur wheat instead of couscous. Soak in the same way, leaving it to stand for about 15 minutes before stirring in the chopped vegetables and herbs. To make it more colourful, add some chopped, grilled sweet red and yellow peppers and torn coriander leaves or flat-leaf parsley. Omit the fromage frais (or quark) and sprinkle with some lemon juice and balsamic vinegar before serving.
- If you love hot, spicy food, serve the couscous with some authentic harissa paste or a spoonful of Thai sweet red chilli sauce.

Employee Theft: Chipping Away at Your Bottom Line
Employee theft and shoplifting cost America's retailers more than $20 billion a year—that's nearly $55 million a day. A 1999 survey of 11,202 retail stores conducted by Jack L. Hayes International revealed that only 4.13 percent of those shoplifting losses were ever recovered.
What's even more startling is that nearly half of these losses, or $10 billion annually, are the direct result of employee theft. In fact, according to the 1996 National Retail Security Survey conducted by the Security Research Project at the University of Florida, respondents reported an average loss of $142.49 per shoplifting incident, compared to $737.31 per employee theft incident. The bottom line: employee theft can kill an otherwise successful retail business.
The theft triangle
To combat employee theft, you must understand the three elements of the "theft triangle": need, willingness and opportunity.
Need is the motivating factor that causes someone to rationalize stealing from the employer. Need may be as complex and compelling as the need to feed one's family.
Or it may be as simple as the "need" to own that hot new CD or that cool new lipstick. It doesn't matter whether you or anyone "understands" the individual's need or considers it worthy: "need" as that person experiences it is the driving force.
Once a need has been established, there must be a willingness to steal. To be willing to steal, the employee must first justify the theft in his own mind: he might reason that he's underpaid and worth more, or that the company somehow cheated him, and/or that the company expects some degree of theft and is insured for it. Again, that "justification" doesn't have to make sense to anyone but that individual.
Opportunity, the third element of the "theft triangle," is the only one an employer has direct control over. No matter how great the need or how willing the employee, he can't steal if the opportunity doesn't exist. And this is where you, the employer, come in. This is where the battle between employer and dishonest employee is waged; where you have the power to keep honest employees honest, and identify and eliminate dishonest ones.
First, focus on choosing honest employees; then eliminate the opportunity for employees to steal from you. Here are some suggestions the small retailer should consider and implement.
Establish comprehensive hiring practices
Attracting and keeping honest employees begins with the application and very first interview. Always review the application before meeting a prospective employee for an interview. Look for and note irregularities such as gaps in work history, failing to list a former employer as a reference, frequent job-hopping, or missing information. Discuss these issues in depth during the interview to establish a comfort level with the prospect.
If the interview is successful and you want to pursue hiring this person, thoroughly check references and past employers—this is a vital next step. The reference check, which small business owners often overlook, is an important part of the hiring process because it helps identify potential problems in advance.
Many retailers feel that criminal background checks, credit checks, drug testing and written psychological tests that determine the prospect's tendency to steal are useful tools. Various companies nationwide can provide small business owners with all or some of these services for a small fee. One of them, Employment Screening Resources (based in California) provides many of these services. You can find them on the Net at Esrcheck.com.
Create a rewarding work environment
Studies show a direct correlation between higher pay and reduced employee theft. According to the 1996 National Retail Security Survey, companies with higher levels of compensation than their competitors' experienced lower inventory shrinkage levels. The data suggest that employers may be fooling themselves if they believe lower wages are saving them money. Saving a few dollars in wages can cost considerably more in stolen goods or revenue.
Your weapon against employee theft is to create a rewarding work environment. To do this, establish a fair compensation program, one that incorporates incentives for reaching goals in sales, profitability and shrink. In addition, create a program that recognizes employees for outstanding service with monetary and non-monetary rewards. You can also build loyalty by communicating with employees at all levels openly, regularly and constructively. Doing this empowers them to make positive contributions and to work as a team. All together, these steps create a culture that discourages dishonesty.
Use controls and countermeasures
The most effective way to eliminate the opportunity for employees to steal is through controls and countermeasures. Start with a comprehensive inventory-management system that enables you to check book inventory against actual inventory in your store or RMU, as determined through periodic physical counts. The more frequent the physical count, the better. Today, even very small retail owners are using computerized POS (point-of-sale) systems that track all incoming inventory and record each sale by means of barcodes or inventory tracking numbers.
Cash management is equally important in the battle against employee theft. You need to establish and adhere to strict policies that require reporting no-sales, voids, exchanges and refunds. Dishonest employees commonly use each of these to siphon money from the cash drawer. Computerized POS systems are capable of providing cash management as well as inventory control for retail owners.
Other controls and countermeasures include closed-circuit TV monitors (CCTV) or surveillance cameras that can monitor the sales area, check-out area and back room; mirrors and one-way windows; and burglar alarms. Burglar alarms can be used not only to protect assets from burglars; they can assign individual access codes to identify each employee who opens, closes, or re-enters the store. And, of course, uniformed guards can be an effective option.
Employees working alone are far more likely to steal. Your defense: double up. Schedule more than one employee on each shift if at all possible. In addition, don't regularly schedule the same two employees, to avoid any potential collusion. Instead, frequently rotate schedules and partners.
Another effective deterent is to implement a handbag or backpack check at the end of each employee's shift. This helps eliminate theft because employees don't have a way to carry merchandise out of the store or away from the cart.
Finally, consider using a secret-shopper service periodically. This is an inexpensive and fairly effective way to spot and reduce employee theft. These services randomly send out people posing as customers to shop your store, sometimes in groups of three. They will observe your employees both in the sales area and at the cash register, looking for signs of dishonest behavior. Then they provide you with a complete report that details their observations.
Watch for warning signs
To prevent employee theft, it's important for the owner and/or manager to stop in frequently at random times to check on the staff. When you do, look for the following warning signs of employee theft:
- Excessive no-sales, voids and refunds: A high number of any of these indicated on the register "X" or "Z" tape are a sign that the employee operating the register is either opening the draw often to make change without making a sale, or ringing false refunds and pocketing the cash.
- Coins placed on or near the register: Employees who put money in the till without ringing sales often track the amount of money they have built up in the drawer using coins as "counters," with each coin representing a certain dollar value. For instance, if 16¢ in coins sits on or near the register, the employee might have an extra $16.00 in the cash drawer. In this example, the penny's value is $1.00, the nickel is $5.00 and the dime is $10.00. The employee will pocket the $16.00 at or near the end of the shift. If you detect that this is happening—if you see stray coins—pull the cash drawer immediately and verify its contents against the "X" tape.
- Unwillingness to take breaks: An employee who is unwilling or reluctant to take scheduled breaks may be afraid that, during the break, you or your manager will discover irregularities in the cash drawer or workspace that would identify that employee as a thief.
- Big spending: An employee who spends "big" or starts spending bigger than usual, apparently beyond his or her means without explanation (e.g., wears expensive clothes or jewelry and/or drives an expensive car, etc.), should be watched closely. Of course, there may be a perfectly reasonable explanation for it—which is why it's so important to communicate with employees and be open to them communicating with you. You'll get to know their personal and financial situations better, and can gauge whether this situation merits close attention.
- Friends at work: Research shows that employees collude with a high percentage of shoplifters. Beware of employees who always seem to have friends "hanging" with them during working hours. Institute a policy against it. (Similarly, have a policy that limits personal phone calls during work.)
By keeping on top of employee activity, you can significantly cut potential losses. Follow sound hiring practices… reward and recognize employees… take a few simple precautions that eliminate opportunity… and watch for the warning signs of employee theft. All of this is good management, and can all add up to a bigger, healthier bottom line.

First Hall class had notable omission
Despite 511 career wins, Young had to wait a year to be selected
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Fans have often wondered why Cy Young, the pitcher with the most wins in history, wasn't inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame with the inaugural Class of 1936.
Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner and Walter Johnson were the first inductees, and they are front and center in the plaque gallery of the red-brick museum on Main Street. On Thursday, many in the baseball world will gather for the 75th birthday of its opening and the day the first four Classes of 1936-39 were inducted.
There's a good reason why Johnson, who ranks second on the all-time list with 417 wins, got in, and Young at 511 wins, didn't.
"The 1936 vote was something of a fiasco," said Major League Baseball's official historian John Thorn. "The instructions weren't clear and the criteria for interpreting the vote weren't clear."
A group of pre-1900 players were voted upon by a Veterans Committee, and the post-1900 players were inducted by 226 members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, the organization that maintains the honor today.
Denton True "Cyclone" Young's career spanned 1890-1911, and aside from the staggering win total, he also holds the records for losses, starts, complete games and innings pitched, among others. Without any direction from Hall officials, the committees split the vote. The 78 veterans, mostly made up of former players gave Young 41 percent, and the BBWAA, 49 percent. As it remains today, a candidate had to total 75 percent on one ballot or the other to be inducted.
Under the rules, the votes of both committees weren't combined and Young had to wait until 1937 when he was elected by the BBWAA with 76.1 percent of the vote along with only two other players, Nap Lajoie and Tris Speaker.
That same year, the Veterans Committee added managers Connie Mack and John McGraw and executives Morgan Bulkeley, Byron Johnson and pioneer George Wright. Mack, who managed the Philadelphia A's until 1950, would never have been elected today until he retired.
"I guess they weren't so fussy about the rules back then," Thorn said.
By the time the Hall opened on Jan. 12, 1939, 26 players, managers and executives had been elected by the dueling committees, and they were all inducted in one massive class. At the time, the electees arrived by train and the inductions were conducted on the steps to the entrance of the museum. These days, the ceremony is staged about a mile away behind the Clark Sports Center, where thousands of fans congregate on a meadow for the occasion. Admission has always been free.
This year, on July 27, in excess of 50,000 are expected for the induction of pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, slugger Frank Thomas and managers Joe Torre, Tony La Russa and Bobby Cox.
Like Mack, La Russa, who retired after 33 years of managing when his Cardinals defeated the Rangers in the 2011 World Series, is active again, having just taken the newly created job of chief baseball officer for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Torre is Major League Baseball's executive vice president of baseball operations.
"La Russa is back in business," Thorn said. But he's not managing, and that's the accepted practice.
The Hall, founded by local landowner and magnate Stephen C. Clark, went into business as soon as the Hall of Fame charter was awarded. It would be three years before the actual edifice would be complete, but there was no reason to wait, and the voting to honor MLB greats began in earnest in 1936. Clark's granddaughter, Jane Forbes Clark, is still chair of the Hall's board.
Of the 26 players, managers and executives elected, 13 of those players were picked by the BBWAA. Aside from the eight greats in the first two classes, the writers anointed Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1938 and Eddie Collins, George Sisler and Willie Keeler in '39. Lou Gehrig was also added by special election in '39 after he had to retire because of a debilitating illness earlier that year.
Gehrig was too sick to attend the mass 1939 induction and was officially inducted last summer when Cal Ripken Jr. read the inscription off his plaque. The symmetry was neat and sentimentally moving, considering that the Iron Man had broken the Iron Horse's record consecutive game playing streak of 2,131 games. Ripken and fellow Hall of Famer Joe Morgan will be in attendance Thursday for the birthday commemoration.
"[The fact] that the voting began long before the doors of the actual museum opened was well-intended," Thorn said. "It was like the Hollywood ramp up theory of publicity. You build up enthusiasm by peppering the press with news rather than saving everything for one shot."
Before the museum opened, there was one matter to attend to: how to make amends with the revered Young. In trying to do so, Hall officials interviewed and had correspondence with Young, asking him to be a docent or tour guide for the Hall.
"Can you imagine that he would be there every day, greeting everybody who came to the Hall?" Thorn said.
Alas, like the 1936 vote for Young, it didn't happen. By the time the museum opened, he was already 72 years old.
