South Shore Low Vision Support Group to Meet on November 19th

November 7, 2018 //  by admin

 

Talking Information CenterTalking Information Center (TIC), the non-profit reading service broadcasting 24-hours a day to thousands of visually impaired and otherwise print impaired listeners throughout the state, will host the next South Shore Low Vision Support Group on Monday, November 19, 2018.

Individuals with low vision and those who know someone with low vision are invited to attend the Low Vision Support Group, which will meet at TIC, 130 Enterprise Drive in Marshfield on November 19th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. A light lunch will be provided.

This month’s discussion topic will be the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, and it will be led by Carolyn M. Orsen, M.ED., COMS, Rehabilitation Teaching Supervisor for the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind.

TIC, the Marshfield Council on Aging, Duxbury Senior Center, Kingston Council on Aging, and the Plymouth Center for Active Living have teamed up to host this ongoing collaborative low vision group on the South Shore. The goal of this initiative is to provide a space for individuals with a visual impairment to gather and share information. The meetings cover a wide variety of topics such as transportation, technology, health care and advocacy and are broadcast live so that those who are unable to attend a low vision support group still have access to the pertinent and important information being discussed.

Anyone who is unable to attend this bi-monthly support group may tune in to TIC’s live broadcast of the low vision group at noon on that day. Visit TIC’s website www.ticnetwork.org or contact 781-834-4400 to learn about the many ways to listen to TIC.

To reserve a seat on November 19th, or if you are in need of transportation to the group, RSVP to your local Senior Center or Council on Aging.

This event is sponsored by Roche Bros.

November 6, 2018 //  by admin

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the non-profit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Plymouth County and surrounding communities, invites the community to join the #GivingTuesday movement and support the OCES Emergency Fund program. Coming just after Thanksgiving, in the same way that Black Friday and Cyber Monday kick off the holiday shopping season, #GivingTuesday kicks off the giving season.

Tuesday, November 27, 2018 is #GivingTuesday. Since its founding in 2012, #GivingTuesday has inspired giving around the world, resulting in greater donations, volunteer hours, and activities that bring about real change in communities. OCES has joined the #GivingTuesday movement to raise money for their Emergency Funds program. The OCES theme this year is #ICareIShare.

OCES’ Emergency Fund helps meet the needs of at-risk low-income older adults and individuals with disabilities who are in a crisis or emergency circumstance that threatens their health and/or living situation. All too frequently, these individuals encounter problems that can jeopardize their ability to maintain independence, dignity and well-being.

Last year, OCES raised $7,714 for their Emergency Fund. This year’s goal is to break the $10,000 mark.  With the number of individuals needing assistance increasing each year, OCES’ fundraising goal is to add to the Emergency Fund’s capacity so they can continue to make a critical difference in the lives of consumers served.  OCES’ Emergency Fund supports dozens of consumers throughout the year faced with unforeseen emergency events, answering urgent needs such as filling an empty fuel tank, repairing a broken furnace, or providing life-sustaining medications.

To make a donation to OCES’ Emergency Fund online, visit www.ocesma.org and click on #GivingTuesday. Donations may also be made by check or money order and mailed to OCES, 144 Main Street, Brockton, MA 02301.

Emerson Bearing Announces Special Bearings for Semiconductor & Medical Equipment Industries

October 31, 2018 //  by admin

Severe environments call for special bearings. Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, offers special bearings for corrosive and electrically charged environments in the semiconductor and medical equipment industries.

Equipment in both the semiconductor and medical industries are subject to stringent cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization procedures which often involve the use of harsh, corrosive chemicals. In these highly corrosive environments, specialized corrosion-resistant bearings are required to ensure proper functioning. Those working on equipment in the semiconductor and medical industries should consider bearings made out of materials such as titanium or AISI 304, AISI 440, or AISI 630 stainless steel.

Electrical current can be incredibly damaging to metal components. For bearings, it can cause a wide range of problems, including fluting in the races, pitting of the ball bearings, and degradation of lubrication. Medical equipment such as magnetic resonance imagers (MRIs), for instance, all involve high-stress environments with a great deal of electrical activity.

Ceramic bearings, as well as ceramic insulated metal bearings, are ideal for highly electrically charged applications. Ceramic materials, with a few rare exceptions, are very poor conductors of electricity; although they can accept large voltages, they are able to dissipate that electricity extremely effectively. The passing electricity causes little to no degradation.

“For highly corrosive environments, standard bearings simply fall short. Corrosion-resistant bearings are required to ensure proper functioning,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “In electrically charged environments, utilizing bearings that are poor conductors of electricity is imperative.”

With a sourcing network that spans the globe, Emerson Bearing Boston caters to clients in the semiconductor and medical equipment industries with a wide selection of severe-environment bearings that include: Ball and roller bearings from GMN, KOYO, and others; Cam followers and yoke rollers from Carter, IKO, and others; Rod ends from Durbal and FK; Oil seals from Garlock, Dichtomatik, and Timkens; Mounted units from AMI, IPTCI, and others; Roller chains from Daido, Hitachi, and Drives; and Bushings from IGUS and Oilite.

Katz continued, “When choosing the right type of bearing material for your specific application, the conditions must be kept in mind. Our team of bearing experts can assist in the right bearing selection and equip customers with the knowledge needed to avoid costly pitfalls and downtime.”

For more information, visit Emersonbearing.com or call 800-225-4587.

About Emerson Bearing Boston

Founded in 1957, Emerson Bearing Boston specializes in bearings for OEM and MRO markets throughout the world. The company provides solutions to a variety of industries including: aggregate, concrete, mining, machine tools, electric motor repair, marine, material handling, metal processing, packaging, food processing, paper converting, printing, wind/power generation, recreation, heavy construction, robotics, automation, transportation, wood products, wastewater treatment, pump, compressor and oil field.

Emerson Bearing Boston offers customers a one-stop shopping experience.

New safety app available on Cape Cod. Steering you in the right direction, Safety app connects injured to immediate help.

October 25, 2018 //  by admin

The new, innovative Aiken Safety smartphone app is now available to Cape Cod residents and may be a lifesaver for local families in the event of a car accident. Aiken and Aiken, the sponsoring law group, maintain offices at 83 Main Street, Hyannis, MA and 205 Worcester Court, Falmouth, MA.

Available at the Law Offices of Aiken & Aiken website, www.aikenandaikenpc.com, and other standard portals that apps are found, including the App Store and Google Play, the innovative app is built to discern a major impact auto accident and alert via text your predesignated family and friends. The app also pinpoints the accident site so that your designees can alert emergency personnel and provide critical information.

The app automatically detects when you’ve been in a car accident by using the Integral sensors (accelerometer and GPS) of your smartphone. The app algorithm, designed using actual car crash data from the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), accurately detects the difference between an actual car crash versus, for example, a dropped phone.

“The safety app and program is our proactive effort to promote better tools and information for Cape Codders and visitors to remain safe and sound,” noted Attorney Paul Aiken.

In addition to the cutting edge app, the safety program and Aiken and Aiken website include an Aiken Safety App video and additional information outlining Driving Safety Rules of the Road and Bike and Pedestrian Safety. The website and app also provide a link to Professional Driving Schools, a leading driving school serving the entire Cape and based in Hyannis.

Decals depicting safe driving, bicyclists and pedestrians are also available and are intended to remind all of us to put safety first. The 1,000 BeSafeRules.com Safety decals will be available in early November for distribution at the law office, Cape Cod Chambers of Commerce, and the Professional Driving School in Hyannis. Other distribution points will be established going forward.

For more information, visit Law Offices of Aiken & Aiken website, www.aikenandaikenpc.com or call 508-771-2266.

October 23, 2018 //  by admin

Carol Grady with her daughter and co-event organizer Micaela Grady

The first annual charity golf tournament to benefit the Center for Applied Behavioral Instruction (CABI), an accredited, private special education day school for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and challenging behaviors in Central Massachusetts, was a hole in one – raising $30,000 for the school.

After the tournament, attendees enjoyed a delicious steak and chicken dinner reception at the clubhouse, which included locally sourced produce from Foppema’s Farm in Northbridge. A silent auction and raffle rounded out the evening.

“Thank you to our golfers, sponsors, families and friends for supporting our mission and making our inaugural event such a tremendous success,” said Dr.Robinson. “The funds raised will ensure that CABI is able to continue to deliver on our commitment to providing the best-practice behavioral and educational programming to children and young adults with autism.
