(BPT) - Take a look at your desk. Chances are you have at least two screens in front of you. From our cell phones to multiple monitors and even tablets, backlit screens constantly demand our attention during the workday, but that quality of light could have a negative impact on our health, comfort and productivity.

For a quick fix, add a task light. Proper task lighting is an easy hack that can improve your health, comfort and productivity at work.

It can be easy to forget the impact light has on our daily lives, but quality light is vital to keeping us healthy, alert and functioning at our best. It affects not only our biological circadian rhythm, but also our emotions and overall sense of well-being.

According to Jonathan Puleio, a Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE) and the Global Vice President of Consulting at Humanscale, “Individual lighting requirements vary based on age.”

He further explains, “By the time we reach our 60s, we require more than 250 percent more contrast to view the same documents we did when we were in our 20s. Compounding the issue is that monitors emit light whereas paper reflects light. This means that monitors and

If you’re ready to invest in a quality task light, here are a few key features to prioritize: quality of lighting, adjustability and footprint. It’s important to look for task lights with LED technology, which provides superior light quality. If designed correctly, LED lights minimize glare, create a uniform footprint of light and cast a single shadow.

Many task lights create multiple shadows on the work surface, adding visual complexities that can lead to ocular fatigue. Although you may not notice it, a task light that casts only a single shadow will significantly enhance your comfort. LED lights not only produce higher quality lighting, but they also are better for the environment and last longer too.

A well-designed task light should also offer a wide range of light output so you can find the best brightness level to illuminate your work area. Adjustability of the light’s reach is just as crucial so it can allow you to position the light where you most need it. And finally, a large footprint of light helps you shine high-quality light on more space, eliminating the reliance on subpar overhead lights.

Humanscale, the leader in ergonomic office furniture, is releasing two new solutions that will deliver on all of these features, and more. Now available to purchase, the Nova and Horizon 2.0 task lights combine industry-leading LED technology and adjustability in terms of positioning and light output. These task lights have Energy Star 2.0 certification and are made without toxic chemicals that are commonly found in other household and workplace products. Both also have nightlight modes and sensors that automatically turn the light off when you leave the room. These task lights check all the boxes, so you know your ocular health and comfort will be supported while you work.

How a cash-out refinancing loan can turn into a costly mistake

monthly payments of $798, your balance is $153,365. Now you’re looking to do some renovations and pay off some credit card debt, and you need to borrow $75,000. With your home valued at $300,000, there’s more than enough equity.

With a cash-out re-fi loan, you’d “reset” your mortgage balance at $228,365 with an interest rate of, say, 5.75 percent interest. That brings your monthly payment to $1,333, but in 30 years, when the mortgage is paid off, total interest comes to $287,225 (that’s the interest you paid on your original mortgage and the interest you’ll pay with the refinanced loan).

With a $75,000 home equity loan, you may receive a higher rate, but it applies to a much smaller loan amount. If you secured a home equity loan at 9.0 percent APR, your monthly payment for your mortgage and equity loan combined would be slightly higher at $1,559. However, the term of your equity loan is 15 years, and your mortgage is still on track to being paid off in 24 years. In all, your total interest payments come to $174,238 (original mortgage plus home equity loan).

(BPT) - After years of making regular mortgage payments, it feels good to watch your net worth make upward progress. That’s especially true if your house is also gaining value. With a growing amount of equity comes peace of mind, knowing you have the option of tapping into it when you want.

Whether it’s time for a new roof or you need to consolidate debt, you may see a traditional cash-out mortgage refinance as the ideal tool to access the money you need. However, if you’re considering a cash-out refi, you may be unaware of some of the pitfalls, or you may not know about the alternative solutions that might work in your financial favor.

With a cash-out refi, homeowners can borrow against the equity in their home by taking out a new mortgage loan. This new loan includes the original loan balance and the additional amount borrowed against the equity.

“On the surface, a cash-out refi loan appears to be the better option because these tend to have better interest rates compared to other types of loans, especially credit cards and personal loans,” says Wendy Harrington, chief marketing officer at Figure Technologies, a company that offers lending solutions to homeowners.

“However, these can end up costing more than homeowners expect, and it’s important to take time to understand what comes with the territory.”

Less convenient than other loan products: The application and approval process for a cashout is anything but efficient, thanks to timeconsuming activities like property appraisals and in-person closings. In all, the loan process can take anywhere from 30-60 days.

Another upside to using solutions other than cash-out refis is that there are now convenient and Additional fees: Borrowers often don’t realize fast solutions that let borrowers access their equity that cash-out refis come with closing fees for with ease. Figure Home Equity Loans PLUS lets such things as appraisals, title searches and credit borrowers apply for a loan online and get notified reports, adding another layer of cost to the loan. of approval in five minutes. Upon approval, funds can be deposited in the bank account of choice in A smarter solution that can potentially spare as little as five days*.

Winter allergies: The allergies you didn’t know you could have

(BPT) - When temperatures get below freezing, people with seasonal allergies to grass, tree and weed pollens get well-deserved relief from their symptoms. But if you’re still sneezing and blowing your nose when winter descends, you might have indoor allergies.

The problem for many allergy sufferers is figuring out what, exactly, is causing their symptoms.

Why? Most allergy sufferers develop similar symptoms no matter what allergen they’re reacting to.

When you have a stuffy or runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, sneezing and coughing you know you’re probably allergic to something. Beyond that, it’s hard to discover the culprit. If it’s serious enough to prompt a trip to the doctor for relief, see an allergist.

“Allergists are the best-trained medical professionals to treat allergies and asthma,” says allergist Todd Mahr, MD, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. “Much like a cardiologist specializes in heart problems, an allergist specializes in allergic diseases. Your allergist will find the source of your symptoms and treat the cause so you can feel healthy all the time.”

Here are some common causes of winter, indoor allergies and tips from ACAAI on what you can do about them:

Dust mite allergy: Dust mites are one of the most common indoor allergens and a year-round annoyance. Those allergic to dust mites suffer most in their own homes. Dust mites are microscopic creatures that live in furniture, carpets and bedding, and feed off the flakes of skin people shed every day. They thrive in warm, humid environments. Often, you’ll notice your symptoms immediately after vacuuming, sweeping or dusting, when you’ve stirred up dust. Molds, pollen, pet hair, fur or feathers can contribute to a dust allergy as well.

• Diagnosis and treatment: As with all the allergies in this article, your allergist will perform a skin test or blood test to determine the exact cause of your allergy and order a course of treatment that may include medications or allergy shots.

• Management: The presence of dust mites does not mean you have a dirty house; they’re everywhere. You can lessen or avoid your symptoms by removing the usual suspects that cause dust allergies. Choose wood floors instead of carpet, clean your house with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter, use mite-proof cases on your mattresses and pillows and wash your linens regularly in hot water. Consider installing a high-efficiency disposable filter in your HVAC system. The filter should have a MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) rating of 11 to 13 - the higher the MERV rating the better.

Mold allergy: Molds live inside and outside of your home. They can thrive in moist places like bathrooms and kitchens, and the annoying thing about molds is that many molds aren’t visible

to the naked eye. As the spores become airborne, they can cause allergic reactions and worsen asthma symptoms.

• Diagnosis and treatment: Your allergist may have you track your symptoms over time to see where you’ve been when your allergies flare up. That will help identify the culprit. Antihistamines and decongestants can ease symptoms.

• Management: Wear a mask when doing yard work, and once inside, take a shower and rinse your nose with a saline solution to remove mold spores. In the kitchen, clean up any spills or leaks quickly to prevent mold from growing. Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture in areas like bathrooms and basements. Clean your garbage cans and fridge drawers. For serious mold problems, call a professional.

Pet allergy: It’s a heartbreaking situation for pet lovers if they have allergy symptoms after being with their pets. Allergy symptoms can be constant because exposure can occur anywhere - in pet-friendly workplaces, restaurants and stores, at school, in daycare, anywhere a pet owner has been.

• Diagnosis and treatment: Your allergist will perform a skin test or blood test to determine if your pet is causing your allergy symptoms. They may advise treating with nasal sprays, antihistamines or other medications. Allergy shots are also effective in treating pet allergies, because a resistance is built up over time.

• Management: Avoidance is the best way to manage a pet allergy, but you don’t have to part with your furry family members. Some ways to lessen your symptoms include keeping your pet out of your bedroom, washing your hands with soap and water after petting or playing with your pet, vacuuming with a HEPA vacuum and bathing your pet once a week.

Once you know the cause of your symptoms, you can conquer the allergy. It’s time to take control of your allergies and asthma and start enjoying life again. It’s time to find an allergist. To find an allergist in your area, use the Allergist Locator tool on the ACAAI website.

an outdated tub/shower combination can improve the functionality of a space without breaking the bank. Shower kits and stalls enable homeowners to renovate bathrooms with less hassle than creating a tile- or stone-based shower enclosure. Kit pieces drop in place and may only require minor plumbing work. Certain kits can be installed directly over dated showers for a quick remodel turnaround.

Laminate countertops Much like resilient flooring, laminate countertops are inexpensive, low-maintenance and durable alternatives to stone and solid-surface countertops. They come in many different styles that can look like granite or marble. Homeowners also can consider solid surface materials, tile, concrete, and wood block when looking for cost-efficient countertop materials.

Cabinet refacing Homeowners who want to keep the layout of a kitchen intact but simply update its look can turn to cabinet refacing. The Kitchen Magic renovation company says refacing or resurfacing uses quality wood or laminate veneer to change the color and appearance of the exterior of cabinets without having to remove the existing cabinet frames. New doors, drawers and hardware will complete the transformation at a fraction of the cost of a new cabinet build.

Shower kits Bathroom renovations can increase the overall value of a home. But some homeowners do not have the time or money to do a complete bathroom remodel. Replacing an old vanity with a newer one and replacing

Catch home buyers’ attention with a bathroom in an ‘impossible’ space (BPT) - When it comes to real estate, you’ve probably heard kitchens and bathrooms typically sell houses. While you may not have enough money for a kitchen remodel, adding a bathroom can be a more affordable way to enhance your property and catch buyers’ attention.

By adding another bathroom to your home, you immediately increase your chances of the property getting noticed. Technology makes it simple for buyers to search properties of interest by their designated criteria. One of those is “minimum number of bathrooms.” By adding to that amount in your listing, you’ll be getting in front of that many more potential buyers.

Adding bathrooms to difficult spaces

Bathrooms increase a home’s value and add to its functionality - both elements that buyers desire.

Homeowners can begin to research opportunities to add bathrooms to their properties presale. This often means enhancing basements, garage slabs and other spaces that can be more difficult for contractors to add plumbing systems with conventional in-floor drainage.

If you have a space that would be ideal for a bathroom but appears to be impossible due to the need to break through concrete or other types of flooring, there’s another solution to consider: above-floor, macerating plumbing systems.

Developed a half century ago in Europe, these systems are still relatively unknown in the United States; however, they offer a vast opportunity for homeowners.

Macerating systems from makers like Saniflo reduce waste and paper from the toilet and send it under high pressure through piping directly into the septic or sewer system. No waste is stored, and the systems are low-cost compared to traditional plumbing. Systems are discreet, quiet and open the possibilities of affordable additions in less time. Learn more at Saniflo.com.

If you want to add a bathroom to prepare your home for resale, don’t be limited by the seemingly impossible.

Here are five “impossible” home improvement scenarios where above-floor plumbing may be the solution: Main floor on-slab construction

Owners of slab-built homes may hesitate to cut into the concrete foundation in order to accommodate conventional plumbing. No matter how careful a contractor is when cutting into concrete, a variety of problems can arise - from unexpected obstructions to poor-fitting patches and even stress cracks.

Above-floor plumbing systems eliminate the need to cut into the slab, so integrity isn’t compromised.

Basements

If your home is built with a basement, bathroom additions can be problematic due to concrete and existing plumbing limitations. Above-floor, macerating plumbing is a smart solution for fast, cost-effective bathroom additions in lower-level rooms. Now you can highlight the comfortable living space and make it feel like a true entertainment center or like home to prospective buyers.

Historic homes

Opening walls or floors to accommodate piping may jeopardize important historic elements, such as

original wood flooring or plaster walls. Systems like Saniflo’s macerating toilet and plumbing technology eliminate the need to cut through a floor to install new drainage, while minimizing the impact on walls as well. The system also fits easily into small areas like a closet or the dead space behind a stairway, meaning homeowners don’t have to compromise the flow of their historic homes to add a bathroom.

Raised homes

Bayou and beach towns often boast charming raised homes. Adding a bathroom to the lowest floor of a raised home can be problematic; conventional plumbing pipes may detract from the aesthetic value of the space beneath the home, which is often used for car ports, porches and decks. Above-floor plumbing eliminates the need for unsightly pipes, so you can make a great first impression to potential buyers.

Warehouse rehabs

In cities across the country, warehouses have found new life as condos and apartments. The problem is heavy brick construction can make adding traditional plumbing difficult. Above-floor plumbing eliminates the need to cut into or remove bricks, and allows renovators to install attractive, cozy bathrooms in smaller spaces. Imagine how upgrading a one-bath condo to a property with two bathrooms will enhance resale.

If you’re preparing your home for the current real estate market, you want it to stand out. An extra bathroom can help you do that and attract high bids from buyers.

Thanks to above-floor macerating plumbing systems, the possibilities are endless.
