Breaks For Eyes
Give your eyes a break. Follow the 20-20-20 rule. Look away from the screen every 20 minutes or so and look at something around 20 feet away for about 20 seconds. Blink often to keep your eyes moist. Breaks For Eyes. It’s the newest app on the list (in terms of release date). It’s also the most.

It was the first time that the ministry had publicly expressed its grief over a major accident in Taiwan since the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India was established in 1995, which is significant for bilateral relations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Joanne Ou (歐江安) told a news conference in Taipei yesterday.
In Taipei, India-Taipei Association Director-General Gourangalal Das had also expressed his condolences on the day of the accident, Ou said, adding that the two nations continue to deepen relations in different areas.
One French national and two Americans were killed in the accident, while one Australian and two Japanese were injured, Ou said.
The ministry is working with the representative offices of those nations, as well as government agencies, to provide the families with the necessary assistance, she said.
Meanwhile, Barbra Streisand yesterday also sent her condolences via Twitter.
Addressing President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) and Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu (吳釗燮), Streisand wrote: “My heart breaks for you and your country. Reading about this accident brings tears to my eyes for all of these amazing people who lost their precious lives.”
