One lesser-known provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will have profit-friendly implications in 2014 , offering earnings upside for medical practices serving Medicaid patients . The provision to bump up Medicaid payments to match existing Medicare payments , referred to as parity , is expected to ramp through year 's end . That suggests primary care service providers like Mednax will see higher earnings in the coming year as state payments climb . According to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services , or CMS , a quarter of states have implemented the provision as of July . Parity affects certain primary care evaluation and management services provided by family medicine , internal medicine , and pediatric physicians . Previously , Medicaid payment for those services trailed payments made for the same services through Medicare . A multimillion-dollar impact Initially , the provision was geared to boost payments just to primary care physicians and pediatricians . But , thanks to effective lobbying from the industry -- including Mednax 's political action committee , or PAC -- the provision was expanded to include pediatric subspecialties such as neonatologists . According to Mednax 's 2013 Government Relations update , the company successfully lobbied CMS to expand the provision in the final rule issued last November . The PAC is funded by donations of up to $ 5,000 per year from Mednax employees who work in its pediatric subspecialty practices and anesthesiology practices . `` Our goal was to convince health care policy makers that pediatric subspecialists should be included in his payment increase because they serve in a primary care role for their patients , '' according to Darren Patz , Esq. , vice president of government affairs for Mednax . The importance of the legislation on Mednax practices is significant . The PAC spent $ 697,000 lobbying last year and nearly $ 1 million during the 2012 election cycle . Source : 2013 Mednax Government Relations Update . The successful lobbying to include the subspecialty services performed by Mednax 's pediatric services group is already benefiting the bottom line , contributing $ 2.5 million in revenue and $ 0.02 in earnings per share in the second quarter , despite only a few states having implemented it . Medicare parity will also already benefiting other players , including Team Health Holdings , a company providing outsourced physicians -- such as pediatric doctors -- to providers like hospitals . Team Health sales increased 14.5 % to $ 579.7 million in the second quarter , and Team Health estimates Medicaid parity will add $ 10 million to $ 15 million in revenue in 2013 . Mednax scaling growth Mednax operates two segments , Pediatrix Medical Group and American Anesthesiology , and is actively acquiring practices , which will offer upside as Medicaid payments climb . In the quarter ending June , Mednax had bought five group practices , three in anesthesiology and two in pediatrics . And the company announced four additional acquisitions during the third quarter . As a result of its acquisitions , Mednax employs nearly 2,200 physicians in 34 states . The company 's acquisition targets are small physician groups with neonatal care specialties that have high administration costs tied to legal and regulatory pressures . Currently , the company 's physicians serve at more than 330 NICUs in the United States . Additionally , Mednax employs more than 1,650 anesthesiologists and advanced practioners . Combined , those physicians produced total revenue of $ 529.2 million , up 17.7 % in the second quarter . Revenue generated from practices owned more than a year grew 2 % thanks in part to higher payments from commercial insurers , which offset a slight 0.3 % drop in patient volume . In the first six months of calendar 2013 , revenue is up 18.3 % . Including acquisitions , operating income in the quarter grew 13.7 % . Mednax 's general and administrative expenses were up 13.3 % , less than revenue growth , and dipped to 10.3 % of patient revenue from 10.7 % last year . Total net income worked out to $ 69.2 million in the second quarter , or $ 1.37 per share . Cash from operations improved $ 10 million to $ 127.2 million . Foolish final take Thanks to successful lobbying , Mednax is forecasting third-quarter earnings per share of $ 1.46- $ 1.51 , which reflects growth at units owned more than one year of 1.5 % -3.5 % year over year . Mednax expects parity will conservatively add $ 0.05 to third-quarter earnings as more states ' programs ramp up . Heading into next year , the company should see even greater earnings per share impact as remaining states , such as Texas , come on line . Mednax will also see retroactive payments back to January 2013 from these states begin in earnest . `` As I mentioned , we have started to receive parity moneys from a few states . As a result , we 're including approximately $ 0.05 from parity in our outlook for the 2013 third quarter for payments we expect to receive from those states that are currently paying , '' according to Mednax CFO Vivian Lopez-Blanco . Both Mednax and Team Health are expected to report third-quarter earnings on Thursday , which means you should pay particular attention to the results and management 's comments regarding revenue generated by parity in the third quarter and parity 's expected impact on the fourth quarter and 2014 . If the companies reiterate their bullish stance , it could mean millions in additional shareholder-friendly revenue .

A Black man with intellectual disabilities should be awarded more than $ 500,000 after he was enslaved for five years at a South Carolina restaurant , a court ruled . Bobby Paul Edwards , who is white , pleaded guilty in June 2018 to one count of forced labor for using `` violence and other coercive means '' to make John Christopher Smith work at his restaurant for more than 100 hours a week without pay , the U.S. Department of Justice previously said in a press release . As part of his guilty plea , Edwards was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was ordered to pay Smith $ 272,952.96 in restitution . However , a court ruled last month that the amount should be doubled and Smith should receive more than $ 545,000 . In the April 21 ruling , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit stated that the initial amount decided by the court had `` erred in refusing to include liquidated damages in its order of restitution . '' Citing the Fair Labor Standards Act , the court said an employer who fails to pay minimum wages and overtime to a worker is `` liable for 'liquidated damages ' '' in an amount equal to that missed compensation . `` When an employer fails to pay those amounts , the employee suffers losses , which includes the loss of the use of that money during the period of delay , '' the ruling stated . The abuse began in 2009 when Edwards was the manager of J & J Cafeteria in Conway , about 15 miles northwest of Myrtle Beach . The U.S. Department of Justice said Edwards subjected Smith to `` physical and emotional abuse '' whenever Smith did not work fast enough or made a mistake . Authorities said Edwards would punch Smith , beat him with a belt and hit him with pots and pans . On one occasion Edwards dipped metal tongs into hot grease and burned Smith 's neck , the Justice Department said . Edwards also used racial slurs `` to belittle and demean him , '' the agency said . Smith was removed from the restaurant and put under the care of the state 's adult protective services after a concerned resident contacted authorities in 2014 . According to NBC affiliate WMBF in Myrtle Beach , Smith has a condition in which his intellectual ability is significantly below average . The following year , he sued Edwards , J & J Cafeteria and the restaurant 's co-owner for enslavement , false imprisonment and racial and disability discrimination . According to the suit , Edwards owned the restaurant with his brother . Smith said in the lawsuit that he was forced to work from 6 a.m. until after the restaurant was closed and cleaned . He sometimes would not leave until 1:30 a.m . There were times Smith was so tired that he `` had to be carried home and physically fed drink and food , '' the lawsuit states . Edwards told Smith that he was putting his compensation into a bank account but it did not exist . The beatings and physical abuse would take place in a back office or freezer , Smith said in the suit . He did not report the abuse because he feared for his life . According to the lawsuit , Edwards threatened to stomp on Smith 's neck if he went to the police and beat him `` until people would not recognize him . '' During the years he was enslaved , Smith was forced to live at an apartment that Edwards owned . The suit states the apartment was overrun with cockroaches and the living conditions were `` deplorable and harmful to human health . '' The lawsuit remains open .

Hollywood producer pleads guilty to paycheck protection scam he former head of a Hollywood production and distribution company pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempting to swindle the coronavirus-relief Paycheck Protection Program out of about $ 1.7 million . William Sadleir , 67 , pleaded guilty to one count each of bank fraud and money laundering , according to the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office . Sentencing was set for July 13 in Los Angeles federal court . Prosecutors said the Beverly Hills resident — the founder and former owner of Los Angeles-based Aviron Pictures — lied on applications seeking forgivable PPP loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration under the Coronavirus Aid , Relief , and Economic Security Act . Sadleir ’ s attorney did not respond to a request for comment . According to prosecutors , Sadleir obtained three loans by falsely claiming the money would be used to support Aviron payroll expenses , but the money was actually used to pay personal expenses , including payments on his and his wife ’ s credit cards . Within days of the loans being funded , Sandleir transferred nearly $ 1 million to his personal checking account , prosecutors said . As part of the plea deal , the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office in Los Angeles will recommend that whatever sentence is imposed should run concurrent with his sentence in a pending case in New York . Sandleir is scheduled to be sentenced in the New York case on May 10 . He pleaded guilty in January to wire fraud for misappropriating more than $ 25 million that had been invested in Aviron . Sadleir was the chairman and CEO of Aviron , and oversaw its operations from 2015 until he was ousted four years later , according to court papers . The 2020 CARES Act was designed to provide emergency financial assistance to businesses impacted by COVID-19 pandemic . The funds must be used by businesses on payroll costs , interest on mortgages , rent or utilities .

From early August , children across Pakistan will be glued to their television sets to watch an unlikely female superhero clad not in spandex , but a head-to-toe , flowing black burka . Her name is apt : Burka Avenger . The heroine of the Urdu language series , set to air on Pakistan ’ s Geo TV , fights a menace more dangerous than physical weapons . She is primarily fighting against a local gang ’ s nefarious efforts to close a girls ’ school . The series will trace the adventures of the book-wielding superhero and three young sidekicks – Ashu , her twin brother Immu , and their friend Mooli ( who has a pet goat , Golu ) – as they battle villain Baba Badook and his team of thugs in the imaginary hamlet of Halwapur.Enjoying this article ? Click here to subscribe for full access . Just $ 5 a month . The town comes complete with a corrupt mayor , Vadero Pajero , in cahoots with Bandook and company . In the very first episode , Pajero agrees to shut down the local girls ’ school in exchange for kickbacks from Bandook , a wicked magician with a thick black beard . The dialog gets right to the point . Babook says : “ What business do women have with education ? They should stay at home , washing , scrubbing and cleaning , toiling in the kitchen. ” Young Ashu shoots back : “ The girls of today are the mothers of tomorrow . If the mothers are not educated , then future generations will also remain illiterate. ” Sound familiar ? The time is ripe in Pakistan for the series ’ debut . Thanks to the courageous real-life story of education crusader Malala Yousafzai , a 16-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban in northern Pakistan ’ s Swat valley last October , girls ’ education in the country has received urgent global attention in recent months . With the arrival of Burka Avenger , Malala will no longer fight her battle alone . And in this battle those fighting on the side of education need all of the recruits they can get . Last year alone , some 3,600 attacks were carried out against educational institutions . And in conflict-afflicted countries , the number of primary school-aged children who are not enrolled in school surged from 42 to 50 percent since 2008 . In Pakistan , nearly half of all children and three-quarters of young girls do not attend primary school . Despite the bad news , there are signs that things are starting to change . For one , Malala has the world ’ s attention . But more importantly , her message seems to be reaching ears in Pakistan . While the Taliban has attacked 750 schools since 2008 in Malala ’ s home province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa , 611 of them have been rebuilt . Further , education spending is on the rise , having grown by 27 percent to $ 660 million . Riding this wave of positive momentum , it seems appropriate to introduce a cartoon character who can play a soft role in this fight in living rooms across the nation . The official website for the Burka Avenger states : “ The main goals of the Burka Avenger TV series are to make people laugh , to entertain and to send out strong social messages to the youth that educate , enlighten and reinforce positive social behavior. ” Pakistani pop star Aaron Haroon Rashid ( aka Haroon ) conceived the idea for the show , with the intent of instilling a sense of the importance of girls ’ education as well as teaching lessons about respecting the environment and embracing diversity . “ Each one of our episodes is centred around a moral , which sends out strong social messages to kids , ” Rashid told AP . “ But it is cloaked in pure entertainment , laughter , action and adventure. ” The plotline will unfold in 13 installments of 22 minutes each and will feature guest appearances and original tunes penned by major music acts , including Ali Zafar , the show ’ s creator Haroon , Ali Azmat and Josh . The real name of the mysterious heroine who dons the burka is Jiya . A twist : she is in fact a teacher at the academy she seeks to save . After being separated from her parents at a young age , Jiya was taken under the wing of Kabaddi Jan , a wise old Kabaddi Master . Further lightening the touch of the show , under Kabaddi Jan ’ s tutelage , Jiya masters a fighting technique called Takht Kabaddi in which books and pens are combined with karate moves to devastating effect . Given the progressive tone of the series and its slick production quality , some have taken issue with the fact that Jiya wears a burka , seen as a symbol of the Taliban ’ s repression of women . Rashid dismissed the claim , saying , “ It ’ s not a sign of oppression . She is using the burka to hide her identity like other superheroes. ” He added , “ Since she is a woman , we could have dressed her up like Catwoman or Wonder Woman , but that probably wouldn ’ t have worked in Pakistan. ” In other words : Wonder Woman with Pakistani characteristics . In a parallel development , Pakistani comic book publisher Kachee Goliyan has also recently gained a significant following in a market that has struggled to find its groove . The stories and motifs in these comics – compared favorably with works by Marvel and DC – likewise take on a strong local flavor and are created by a young , progressive minded local team .

Advertisement FOLLOW ON In this Nov. 2 , 2017 photo , Mathew Fulkerson and his wife Leigh Ann pose at their Subterra Airbnb located in a former underground missile silo base near Eskridge , Kan . The Subterra Castle Airbnb opened for business about six months ago ( Thad Allton/The Topeka Capital-Journal via AP ) ESKRIDGE , Kan. -- A Cold War-era missile silo in rural northeast Kansas that housed a nuclear warhead 65 years ago and was later converted into an underground mansion is now finding a new lease on life as an Airbnb location . The Subterra Castle Airbnb opened for business about six months ago . It 's located in rural Wabaunsee County , about 25 kilometres southwest of Topeka . Airbnbs are privately owned residences that are offered online for short-term rental , The Topeka Capital-Journal reports . Matthew Fulkerson , 37 , is the host for Subterra , and said it was his idea to turn the site into an Airbnb . Fulkerson is a neighbour of Subterra 's owners , Ed and Dianna Peden , who have lived in the converted missile base since 1994 and are on board with the Airbnb idea . More than being a place for people to stay when passing through Kansas , Fulkerson said he has a bigger vision for the site . `` I see it as becoming a destination , '' he said , adding that the base has already been featured in several media outlets . In addition to a main-floor bedroom , Airbnb guests at Subterra will have a full kitchen , private bathroom , laundry services and a fireplace which gives a `` nice , cozy feeling in the fall and winter months , '' Fulkerson said . He said he and the Pedens `` are considering using both apartments upstairs and down '' should Airbnb traffic pick up , `` especially because some people really want the experience of sleeping underground . '' Fulkerson said Subterra is the first and currently the only Airbnb located in a converted missile silo .

T.O . Rusheon Middle School librarian wins Laura Bush Foundation grant Claire Hernandez has a passion for books and reading . She knew from an early age that she wanted to be when she grew up and she ’ s made her way from the classroom to the library . Now , she ’ s sharing her passion with the students at T.O . Rusheon Middle School in Bossier City . “ I enjoy getting the kids who don ’ t like to read interested in a book series and seeing them find what they like about reading , ” Hernandez said . “ They are required to have [ Accelerated Reading ] points so why not get them with books they actually enjoy. ” Last year , Hernandez stumbled across a library grant through the Laura Bush Foundation for America ’ s Libraries . With declining budgets across the state , every little bit of money helps . “ I thought ‘ let ’ s try it . It doesn ’ t hurt to ask ’ , ” she said . The Laura Bush Foundation for America ’ s Libraries chose 219 school libraries nationwide to receive $ 5,000 each to expand , update and diversity their library book and magazine collections . Hernandez was notified in April that she was one of two selected in Louisiana to receive a grant . “ I definitely wasn ’ t expecting it , ” Hernandez said . “ It ’ s really , really exciting. ” Hernandez said she plans to purchase more books as well as update several areas of the library . Not only will it benefit the students , but the teachers as well . The mission of the Laura Bush Foundation is to support the education of our nation ’ s children by providing funds to update , extend and diversify the book and print collections of America ’ s school libraries . Hernandez said she is grateful for this opportunity , one she said the school “ may never get again. ” “ It ’ s very exciting to have this amount of money . $ 5,000 can buy a lot of great things , ” she said . Hernandez was told to expect the money sometime in May , giving her the entire summer to plan , order and prepare the library for the new school year . Although she received the grant , Hernandez said the real winners are the students and teachers of Rusheon Middle . “ The more you read , the more you know , ” she said . “ Reading is the core for how well students succeed in school . It doesn ’ t matter read , just read . It will help you immensely. ” Hernandez thanked Principal Judy Madden and curriculum coach Afiya Code for their support and help with the grant application process . She encourages other teachers and faculty members to check for grants in their education field and to just give it a shot . “ Sometimes all you have to do is ask , ” Hernandez said .

JERUSALEM -- Israeli ministers on Monday agreed to ban travel to the United States , Canada and eight other countries amid the rapid , global spread of the Omicron variant . Prime Minister Naftali Bennett 's office announced the decision following a Cabinet vote . The rare move to red-list the U.S. comes amid rising coronavirus infections in Israel and marks a change to pandemic practices between the two nations with close diplomatic relations . The U.S. will join a growing list of European countries and other destinations to which Israelis are barred from travelling , and from which returning travellers must remain in quarantine . A parliamentary committee is expected to give the measure final approval . Once authorized , the travel ban will take effect at midnight Wednesday morning . Israel has seen a surge in new cases of the more infectious coronavirus variant in recent weeks , and began closing its borders and restricting travel in late November . Foreign nationals are not allowed to enter , and all Israelis arriving from overseas are required to quarantine -- including people who are vaccinated . Other countries that were approved to be added to the travel ban starting Wednesday are Belgium , Germany , Hungary , Italy , Morocco , Portugal , Switzerland and Turkey . Israel rolled out a world-leading vaccination campaign early this year , and more than 4.1 million of Israel 's 9.3 million people have received a third dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine . In a prime-time address on Sunday , Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett urged parents to vaccinate their children , declaring that the country 's `` fifth wave '' of coronavirus infections had begun . As of Sunday , Israel 's Health Ministry has reported 175 cases of the new variant . Israel has recorded at least 8,232 deaths from coronavirus since the start of the pandemic .

FirstEnergy fired its CEO amid bribery scandal but let him keep millions , documents show As its starring role in a political bribery scandal became clearer and two alleged conspirators pleaded guilty , FirstEnergy Corp. fired its CEO Charles “ Chuck ” Jones , who was later outed as an architect of the operation . New documents show , however , that FirstEnergy ’ s board of directors declined to invoke a provision in Jones ’ contract that would have allowed the company to claw back some of the tens of millions it had paid him during a pay-to-play operation the company has admitted to . “ The Board elected not to use the contracted claw back provisions which could have recouped compensation paid during the years investigated , ” according to a finding from the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission , which published an audit of the company last week . Between 2017 and 2020 — roughly the time frame of the alleged conspiracy — Jones earned more than $ 51 million , according to the company ’ s proxy statements . Dave Anderson , a researcher for the Energy and Policy Institute , which advocates for clean energy , first unearthed and shared the audit . The finding is the latest showing of a lack of consequences for the head of a corporation that has admitted to intersecting bribery operations , fueled by millions in payments to then Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder as well as Ohio ’ s former top utility regulator , Sam Randazzo . As a corporation , FirstEnergy entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice , which could allow the company to avoid a criminal charge of wire fraud in exchange for cooperating with related criminal probes . FirstEnergy paid a $ 230 million penalty as well . Despite the company ’ s admission , none of its executives have been charged with any crimes . Though the company paid the financial penalty , it could recoup some of its losses if a federal judge approves a settlement to a derivative lawsuit against the board brought by shareholders . That lawsuit calls for FirstEnergy ’ s insurers to pay the company $ 180 million . Jennifer Young , a spokeswoman for FirstEnergy , said Jones has already forfeited some short- and long-term compensation because of his termination . She said the board “ continues to evaluate options available to it. ” She declined to answer how much specifically Jones forfeited . In 2020 , his total compensation was $ 10,066,956 , according to the company . Lawyers representing Jones in related shareholder lawsuits did not respond to emails . Federal officials arrested Householder and four political allies in July 2020 and charged them with racketeering . They alleged that FirstEnergy paid $ 60 million to a nonprofit secretly controlled by Householder . He used that money for personal and political gain , as well as to engineer the enactment of House Bill 6 , worth an estimated $ 1.3 billion to FirstEnergy . Householder has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial in January 2023 . On Oct. 29 , 2020 , two conspirators — political strategist Jeff Longstreth and FirstEnergy lobbyist Juan Cespedes — pleaded guilty to the charges against them . That same day , FirstEnergy fired Jones and two other executives . Within weeks , the company disclosed to shareholders the existence of a $ 4.3 million payment from FirstEnergy to companies owned by Sam Randazzo , sent shortly before he was named chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio . Randazzo resigned from the post after FBI agents were seen removing boxes of material from his Columbus residence . FirstEnergy signed its deferred prosecution agreement in July 2021 , which included a statement of facts that substantiated the prosecutors ’ claims against Householder and laid out a separate alleged quid pro quo between the company and Randazzo . Randazzo has not been charged with a crime and has denied wrongdoing . Company investors have mounted multiple lawsuits against FirstEnergy stemming from the criminal allegations . One of those cases , a derivative lawsuit filed to force action from FirstEnergy ’ s board , nearly ended in a settlement that would have ousted several board members and called for a $ 180 million payment from insurers . One federal judge approved that settlement . However , U.S. District Judge John Adams has refused to dismiss the case until witnesses are interviewed and more evidence comes to light . In hearings and rulings earlier this year , he said clear answers of what happened are needed to restore trust in Ohio ’ s political system . He even threatened to boot lawyers from the case until someone answers his question of who at FirstEnergy was responsible for the bribery operation . This prompted an answer from attorneys representing FirstEnergy investors , who said it ’ s their understanding that Jones and former Senior Vice President Mike Dowling “ devised and orchestrated ” the operation .

New Jersey Doctor Sentenced To 21 Months In Prison For Taking Cash Kickbacks For Patient Referrals FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Follow @ USAO_NJ June 12 , 2014 NEWARK , N.J. – A doctor who was convicted at trial of receiving cash kickbacks for diagnostic testing referrals was sentenced today to 21 months in prison , U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced today . Maryam Jafari , 43 , was convicted Feb. 4 , 2014 , of all three counts of a superseding indictment charging her with conspiracy and two counts of violating the federal health care anti-kickback statute after a three-week trial before U.S. District Judge Claire C. Cecchi , who imposed the sentence today in Newark federal court . According to documents filed in this case and the evidence at trial : Jafari was a doctor licensed in New Jersey to practice internal medicine and operated an office in Newark . From 2010 through December 2011 , Jafari solicited and received cash kickbacks from Orange Community MRI LLC ( Orange MRI ) in exchange for MRIs and CAT scans she referred to the diagnostic testing facility . At the end of each month , OCM printed patient reports that included information such as dates of service , patient name , referring health care practitioner and medical insurance to be billed . The reports were used to tally the number of tests referred by each doctor and determine the amount of kickback payment paid to the referring healthcare provider . On Nov. 22 , 2011 , Jafari met with a cooperating witness at Jafari ’ s office and accepted a white envelope containing $ 1,965 in cash , payments for three months of tests Jafari referred to Orange MRI . On Dec. 6 , she accepted another payment of $ 420 in cash for referrals from October 2011 . A trial on these charges in 2012 ended in a mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict . In addition to the prison term , Judge Cecchi sentenced Jafari to two years of supervised release , fined her $ 45,000 and ordered forfeiture of $ 40,261 . U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , Office of Inspector General , under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Tom O ’ Donnell , who investigated the case with criminal investigators from the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office . The government is represented by Assistant U.S . Attorneys Scott B. McBride , deputy chief of the Economic Crimes Unit , and Joseph G. Mack , deputy chief of the U.S. Attorney ’ s Office ’ s Health Care and Government Fraud Unit in Newark . U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman reorganized the health care fraud practice at the New Jersey U.S. Attorney ’ s Office shortly after taking office , including creating a stand-alone Health Care and Government Fraud Unit to handle both criminal and civil investigations and prosecutions of health care fraud offenses . Since 2010 , the office has recovered more than $ 535 million in health care fraud and government fraud settlements , judgments , fines , restitution and forfeiture under the False Claims Act , the Food , Drug and Cosmetic Act and other statutes . 14-217
