Don’t Get Caught by the Storm Dust Storm Safety Tips •
If dense dust is observed blowing across or approaching a roadway, pull your vehicle off the pavement as far as possible, stop, turn off lights, set the emergency brake, take your foot off of the brake pedal to be sure the tail lights are not illuminated.
•
Don’t enter the dust storm area if you can avoid it.
•
If you can’t pull off the roadway, proceed at a speed suitable for visibility, turn on lights and sound horn occasionally. Use the painted center line to help guide you. Look for a safe place to pull off the roadway.
•
Never stop on the traveled portion of the roadway.
Lights Out! •
In the past, motorists driving in dust storms have pulled off the roadway, leaving lights on. Vehicles approaching from the rear and using the advance car’s lights as a guide have inadvertently left the roadway and in some instances collided with the parked vehicle. Make sure all of your lights are off when you park off the roadway.

From Me To You... During this quarantine phase of our lives we have been looking at the inside of our house more than we used to. I am sure this has happened to you too. After a few weeks, and a few too many home improvement shows, we decided that things could do with sprucing up. What did we decide to change? Well the lighting was original to the house, circa 2004, so that had to go. What followed was an intense internet search and voila, a box was delivered. Actually 5 boxes. The electrician was called and in a couple of weeks we had an updated lighting package. Next the adult daughter was moving into her own apartment so that meant furniture moving. It also meant a free room. We rearranged some things and voila, a new office! My desk (which was actually an old dining room table) is far too big for the new office space so I am ‘making do’ with my son’s desk for the moment. Due to the onset of online school in a few weeks I will be taking a trip to Ikea so that he can have his desk for his work, and I can get one that fits my needs too.
During the move we took a close look at the walls and I thought, “You know, this house could do with a refresh. Let’s paint it!” Easy right?
Off to Lowes we went and 7 paint samples came home with us. After staring at the samples and asking the opinion of everyone we could think of, a color was chosen. But before we could paint the walls, the cabinets needed our attention. We had painted our kitchen cabinets white a few years ago and they just needed a touch up. Our bathroom cabinets were a different story. 16 years of 4 small children pouring water on them and scribbling to their hearts content had left a mark, actually several marks. I chose a deep blue/grey for the bathrooms and having finished one bathroom I am very happy with my choice. Cabinet paint has come a long way in a couple of years. In fact it was so easy to paint that bathroom that I took my still wet brush and painted the kitchen island cabinets blue too. Beautiful! Next on to painting the rest of the house. In the last 2 weeks we have completed the family room/kitchen, one bathroom and our office. It will be quite a project to complete the whole house especially if I keep getting side-tracked. It reminds me of the children’s book about giving a mouse a cookie, he is going to need a glass of milk to go with it. The tale goes in a circle ending up with the mouse being thirsty and wanting a glass of milk, then he needs a cookie to go with it... Happy Home Improvements everyone!

Telehealth
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the adoption of telehealth services has been on the rise and people are turning to digital technology more than ever to address their personal health care needs without having to leave their homes. But while many have begun to embrace telehealth offerings as a new way to connect to care and address their personal health needs, myths surrounding what telehealth services are intended for and how they compare to in-office visits continue to prevail. To help determine how digital care can best meet health care needs during quarantine and beyond, here are the facts behind four common misconceptions about telehealth: MYTH #1: Telehealth is only for basic or urgent care needs. FACT: Telehealth can often be the first stop for preventive, primary care and other health and wellness needs. Patients can connect with a doctor or nurse practitioner to receive care for a range of acute, preventive and chronic care needs, including illness and injury, mental health services, and management of conditions like asthma, diabetes and more. Whether patients live in a rural area or simply want an easier way to manage their health, telehealth can adapt to their needs. MYTH #2: There aren’t any telehealth providers in the area. FACT: Many trusted local and national health care systems provide telehealth services across the nation. Today, more than half of providers in the United States currently offer some form of telehealth service, according to an April 22, 2020 Merritt Hawkins survey, “Physician Practice Patterns Changing as a Result of COVID-19.” Additionally, recent government, health system and reimbursement policy changes have improved patient access to telehealth services 6
Estrella Publishing - Viva magazine
and are encouraging use as a safe way to access care during the pandemic. MYTH #3: Virtual care isn’t as good as in-person care. FACT: Telehealth services can offer high-quality, convenient access to care. Much like face-toface office visits, telehealth visits can facilitate a trusting, open dialogue with a doctor or nurse practitioner. Telehealth also reduces time spent in waiting rooms and commuting to appointments, putting more power in the hands of patients. It can be particularly valuable for enabling remote monitoring and regular checkins for patients with chronic conditions. MYTH #4: Telehealth is too expensive. FACT: Telehealth and other services can help save money while expanding access to care. When looking for a telehealth provider, it can prove cost-effective to compare options based on pricing, insurance coverage, preferences and services provided. Look for telehealth options that list transparent pricing information to help guide the search. Telehealth is more accessible than ever as more providers evolve and adapt technologies to meet patient needs at a safe distance. But even as social distancing constrictions lift, digital wellness offerings will present greater flexibility and convenience in meeting individual health care needs.

Handwashing According to the CDC, regular handwashing is one of the most effective ways people can keep from getting sick - and to help protect others from viruses such as COVID-19. But for those with eczema, hands may become irritated when washed too vigorously, dried too harshly or not moisturized properly, and potentially exacerbate or trigger a flare. That’s why it’s important to stick with a handwashing routine that will keep hands as clean - and healthy - as possible. Dr. Nduaka, who is Dermatology Team Leader, North America Medical Affairs at Pfizer Inc., has a 10-year-old daughter with eczema. Ever since she was little, she’s been instructed to care for her hands by washing, drying and moisturizing frequently, he says. Because she’s so accustomed to the routine to care for her skin, Dr. Nduaka’s not worried about his daughter’s eczema right now, and neither is she. “She’s doing OK,” he says. Dr. Levenberg shared the following advice for people with eczema on how to help keep their hands clean and healthy.
Use the right kind of cleanser People with eczema or other skin conditions should consider use of a gentle cleanser, which comes in bar and liquid form, says Dr. Levenberg. He also recommends washing hands with lukewarm water, rather than hot or cold, to avoid further irritation. Dry but don’t over-dry Drying after every handwashing is important, because, according to the CDC, germs can transfer more easily to and from wet hands than from dry. Dr. Levenberg recommends people with skin conditions gently pat their hands dry using a clean towel, disposable paper towel, or air dry if available. Always moisturize After light drying, immediately apply a moisturizer. Dr. Levenberg recommends products such as ointment or cream, which tend to be thicker and have better moisturizing properties. Washing your hands frequently and correctly is always important. And right now, as people try and stop the spread of COVID-19, Dr. Levenberg says keeping your hands healthy is critical for overall health. come see our large selection of outdoor accessories

Business 411 When A Recession Comes, Don’t Stop Advertising.
There have been a number of studies going back nearly one century that point out the advantages of maintaining or even increasing ad budgets during a weaker economy. Those advertisers that maintained or grew their ad spending increased sales and market share during the recession and afterwards. As a popular adage says, “When times are good you should advertise. When times are bad you must advertise.” There are several reasons to advertise during a slowdown. • The “noise level” in a brand’s product category can drop when competitors cut back on their ad spend. It also allows for advertisers to re-position a brand or introduce a new product. • Brands can project to consumers the image of corporate stability during challenging times. • Studies have shown that direct mail advertising such as community magazines, which can provide greater short-term sales growth, increases during a recession. • When marketers cut back on their ad spending, the brand loses its “share of mind” with consumers, with the potential of losing current – and possibly future – sales. An increase in “share of voice” typically leads to in an increase in “share of market.” An increase in market share results, with an increase in profits.
don’t give cost incentives, they can change the ad message to being expensive but worth it. Another creative strategy is pointing out the value the brand provides. Although the natural inclination for advertisers is to cut back on advertising during a recession, those brands that maintain their ad budget and/ or change their messaging can get a long-lasting boost in sales and market share. Perhaps the best quote about advertising in a recession came from Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart. When asked, “What do you think about a recession?” he responded, “I thought about it and decided not to participate.” -----------------------------We at Estrella Publishing are open for business and here working overtime to support our clients and potential future clients with their marketing strategy. Call / text 623-594-9283 with any questions
Another strategy used by marketers is changing the ad message and using short-term price incentives to match the economic climate with consumers who are seeking a good deal. Some advertisers will offer interest-free loans, coupons or special promotions to boost sales and market share. When the economy bounces back, regular pricing can return. For some advertisers that 10

Eye Health
Like many Americans, you may be putting off regular health appointments like eye exams because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, your optometrist may have been closed for some time, depending on where you live. It may seem less urgent to have an eye exam if you’re not experiencing vision problems, but more than 270 serious conditions can be detected - which may affect the way you see and your overall health. Most are asymptomatic, so an annual eye exam by a doctor of optometry is recommended to keep you healthy. Whether you’re experiencing digital eye strain or dry eyes, or if you have health conditions such as hypertension or diabetes, comprehensive eye exams are vital. Anyone with risk factors for glaucoma such as being over age 60, having a family history of glaucoma or physical injuries to the eye should have regular appointments for eye pressure. And being checked for cataracts from age 60 can help prevent loss of sight. Practices are open nationwide to provide the full range of comprehensive eye health and vision care. If you’re unsure about inperson appointments, your optometrist may offer telehealth consultations, but there is no substitute for an in-person comprehensive eye exam. If you experience an emergency eye-related issue, like a painful scratch, contact your optometrist first rather than going to an emergency room. A 2017 study from the University of Michigan found that only about 6.7% of eye-related emergency room visits were for true eye emergencies, and the rest could likely have been treated by an eye care professional outside the ER. If there is an immediate threat to life or limb, patients should still go to the emergency department. Otherwise, call your optometrist first.
12
Estrella Publishing - Viva magazine
Plan ahead for any medical appointment. Offices may operate at reduced volume, giving priority to patients requiring urgent or emergency care. Practices have also adopted new sanitization protocols to ensure patient safety that may affect the timing of an appointment. “Doctors of optometry, like all medical professionals, are adhering to guidance from the CDC as well as federal, state and local health directives to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission,” said Dr. William T. Reynolds, president of the American Optometric Association (AOA). Here are tips from the AOA to prepare for your visit. * When scheduling your appointment, ask about health and safety protocols. * If you do not need someone with you, attend your appointment alone to help the office manage physical distancing and safety. * Wearing a face mask or cloth face covering may be required by your optometrist. * Follow staff instructions on how to maintain safe social distancing. * Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth while in the office. * Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. * Bring hand sanitizer in case you are unable to wash your hands. * Fill out paperwork in advance or online if possible to reduce time in the waiting room.

Support Local Business Small businesses are the backbone of the economy. Where we shop matters, and now more than ever small businesses need our support as they recover and rebuild from the effects of the pandemic. Small businesses will play a vital role in helping communities around the world get back on their feet. They account for more than half of global employment, and COVID-19 has hit them hard.
As individuals, we all play a vital role in supporting the success of locally owned businesses to help our communities thrive. Every effort adds up, so consider these five simple things you can do to support local small businesses: Make shopping locally a habit Exploring neighborhood businesses is not only good for the economy, it can make you feel like a real part of your community. Make a daily effort to shop from small businesses for your needs - you’ll likely discover new locally sourced goods, and service providers who cater directly to local taste. From food and clothing to haircuts and car repair, there are many small business owners who would love the opportunity to help you. Use the Back to Business search tool at usa.visa. com to quickly search for local businesses that can help with your needs. Pay it forward with a gift card Supporting small business 14
Estrella Publishing - Viva magazine
owners now is critical for small business owners. Buy gift cards for neighbors, friends and family as a thoughtful gesture to brighten their day, or just for yourself for future use. It a great way to support local merchants with a revenue stream while they’re operating under limited circumstances - keeping their doors open and workers employed. Become part of the community on social Social media platforms have become more than a marketing tool for small businesses - they are vibrant digital communities and can be as unique an experience as walking around Main Street. Sure, you can help grow a small business’s online presence by liking them on social media. And leave them a positive online review so others who might shop there feel confident they’ll have an excellent experience. Get it curbside, or on your porch Although social distancing has changed the way some small businesses can work, many are going above and beyond to meet customer needs. Ask about options like curbside pickup or touch-free delivery, which are becoming another indispensable part of our new normal. Purchase with purpose By choosing to make a purchase from a small business, you help support an entrepreneur’s dream and help them get through extraordinary times. You’ll also find that many small businesses in your community are reaching out to help others during the pandemic - whether it’s a restaurant donating food to front line workers, or a local distillery making hand sanitizer for the neighborhood. With more than 30 million small businesses estimated in the United States alone, you have the power to make a difference. These tips can help you support local businesses now, so the community prospers in the future. August 2020
