Learn How to Prevent Falls and Take Steps to Reduce Risk. Falls Prevention Awareness week is September 21-25.

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES) is committed to empowering all older adults in the community to age well and stay falls free. The agency is partnering with the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs to mark Falls Prevention Awareness Week, September 21-25, 2020. 

Each year, one in four Americans over the age of 65 have a fall. More than 2.8 million older adults are treated in emergency departments annually because of a fall, resulting in over 800,000 hospitalizations according to the NCOA.

Falls are common, but not a normal sign of aging. In an effort to raise awareness on fall prevention, OCES will participate in the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs Home Care Team second annual 2.5 Million Steps to Prevent Falls.  

Join OCES and the statewide team and count your steps. The statewide goal is to collectively achieve a total of 2.5 million steps in the name of falls prevention. If you would like to participate, simply take a walk in the name of falls prevention anytime throughout the month of September. You can use your own step counter or count each mile as 2,500 steps. Family and pets are welcome to join in and remember to wear yellow in the month of September! Share your results, comments and/or photos on social media using #MASteps2PreventFalls.

For more information please visit www.ocesma.org or learn the most common falls risk factors by completing this short survey: www.ncoa.org/FallsFreeCheckUp

Emerson Bearing Boston expands line of innovative bearing solution for heavy load applications

From military and defense equipment to mining, manufacturing, transportation and even industrial bottling technologies, bearing selection plays a critical role when it comes to heavy load applications that require great freedom of movement.

Emerson Bearing

Emerson Bearing, based in Boston, is expanding their line of Slewing Ring Bearings, an innovative bearing solution that offers a number of unique benefits over other ball and roller bearings.

Precision slewing ring bearings are a type of angular bearing that consist of two concentric rings with balls or rollers that enhance movement in load-bearing and power transmission applications. The two rings may be constructed with toothed gears to increase torque and can facilitate movement in any direction from the center of the bearing.

What Sets Slewing Ring Bearings Apart

Slewing ring bearings have the load carrying capacity as well as high material stiffness to ensure sufficient support in rigid bearing applications. They also provide 360-degree joint support for complex load bearing systems, which allows for concurrent movement on multiple axes. Slewing ring bearings have a shaftless design and are valuable for their low-friction and freedom of movement. All of these advantages result in an extended service life.

The versatility and efficiency of slewing ring bearings makes them ideal for use in a range of industries. Common applications include:

– Missile launchers, tank turrets and optical devices in the Military and Defense industry. Slewing ring bearings are often used in military and defense equipment that must direct heavy loads with a high degree of precision. 

– The construction industry, particularly in load-bearing and lifting applications such as lifts, cranes, hydraulic excavators and borers. 

– Industrial bottling applications including sanitization, washing capping, and labeling functions. The 360-degree rotation of slewing rings makes them especially useful.

– Mining excavation and tunnel boring, where equipment must be able to move freely under heavy loads.

– Transportation such as trains, trams, and subways. Slewing rings are often used to facilitate free and easy vehicle movement.

“Our bearing experts can assist in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of bearings in relation to the application,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing Boston.

To learn more about Emerson Bearing’s precision slewing ring bearings and how they can improve operations, visit EmersonBearing.com or call 800-225-4587.

Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography launches “Ugly LinkedIn Profile Photo” contest

Some executives favor their high school yearbook likeness. Others just choose to ignore the aging process. Either way, an outdated profile photo is not the best way to represent yourself on LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network.

Debi Cramer
Debi Cramer, founder and and principle photographer at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography

According to Debi Cramer, founder and principle photographer at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography in Plymouth, MA, “There are a number of professional profile photo ‘no-no’s’ including scowling, wearing sunglasses or clothing items with prints, as well as standing alongside other people – or next to someone’s shoulder and arm in the case of a cropped image.”

Professional Image Counts…and May Influence Connections

A LinkedIn profile photo is also not the best place to show off a cherished boat, sports car or pet. It’s okay to wear ski goggles if you’re a ski resort owner, but not okay if you’re a ski enthusiast and your profession is selling life insurance. It should be noted that NOT having a profile photo doesn’t work in your favor either. Will fellow networkers and recruiters want to connect? Perhaps not. Those who do have a profile photo on LinkedIn may receive up to 21 times more profile views than those lacking profile photos (according to LinkedIn).

In an effort to help professionals improve upon their LinkedIn profile photos, Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography, a commercial and fine art photography studio, is holding an “Ugly LinkedIn Profile Photo” contest now through November 31, 2020.

Three people will be selected for the “Ugly LinkedIn Profile Photo” and will receive a professional portrait taken at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography’s new studio at 27 Danforth Lane in Plymouth, MA 02360.

To enter the contest, simply email your LinkedIn URL to Debi Cramer, founder and principle photographer at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography,  38thavephotography@gmail.com. Winners will be notified by email.

The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield is working with the Marshfield Food Pantry, the Town of Marshfield, guidelines from the state and the Marshfield Public Schools and other service organizations to provide critical services the community needs to support children and families over the short- and long-term. Among the steps they have taken to meet ongoing needs include: food distribution to food insecure families (hundreds of healthy meals per week in the form of Grab & Go meal boxes, drive-thru dinners and more); providing a safe place for kids while many parents and guardians return to work; and serving as a resource for the Board of Health and other departments to further assist families.

Addressing food insecurity during COVID-19. Old Colony Elder Services provides groceries to 2,000 Meals on Wheels recipients.

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the nonprofit agency proudly serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout Plymouth County as well as Avon, Stoughton and Easton, MA, has provided groceries to 2,000 Meals on Wheels consumers in their service area.

As a local Meals on Wheels affiliate, OCES was the recipient of a $75K donation to Meals on Wheels of America, made by the Medtronic Foundation. With this funding, OCES was able to spearhead an innovative “Grocery Bag” project. OCES provided a week’s worth of groceries, or the equivalent of 15 meals (packed into a reusable grocery bag) to every one of their Meals on Wheels consumers during the week of August 10-14, 2020. 

“We are incredibly grateful to the Medtronic Foundation for their generous donation which helps address one of the major impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic – food insecurity – among the older adult population in communities that we serve,” said Nicole Long, CEO of OCES.   

The overall goal of OCES’ grocery bag project is to increase food security while reducing older consumers’ short-term need to grocery shop. In collaboration with OCES, Stop & Shop’s e-commerce facility in Brockton sourced, assembled and delivered the grocery bags to OCES’ congregate meal sites. OCES volunteers then picked up the grocery bags from the meal sites and delivered them to consumers’ homes with their ongoing Meals on Wheels deliveries.

Each grocery bag was packed with a wide variety of shelf-stable, nutrient-dense foods, such as pasta, tomato sauce, peanut butter, unsalted crackers, tuna fish, breakfast bars, oatmeal, raisins, applesauce, brown rice and more. One recipient commented that the unexpected surprise “…was the best gift bag of groceries that I had ever received and everything in it is something I would eat and use”.

Long continued, “We’d like to thank our partner, Stop & Shop, for supplying the food, assembling the bags and delivering them to our meal sites. Their essential support contributed to the overall success of our Grocery Bag project in further meeting the nutrition needs of our most vulnerable residents during this challenging time.”

OCES’ Nutrition Program

OCES delivers over 45,000 nutritious meals a month to older adults and individuals with disabilities living within the 23 communities in their service area. All meals are planned by a nutritionist, and with the help of hundreds of volunteers, are delivered to individual homes. 

Referrals to OCES’ Nutrition Program for home delivered meals have dramatically increased over 25 percent due to social isolation, food insecurity and other issues related to COVID-19. Not only are older adults staying home, they are interacting with family and friends less so the need for a daily safety check has become crucial to supporting the older adults in the area. 

All of OCES’ programs – from Nutrition and Home Care to Protective Services – remain in place and are operating during the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information or services from OCES, contact their Information and Referral Department at 508-584-1561.

Call for Sponsors – Renegade Virtual Run to be held September 12-27th in support of diabetes research and a cure

Type One’s annual Renegade Run has gone virtual and is putting out a call for sponsors.

For the past eight years, Type One has held the popular Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race in Hingham’s Wompatuck State Park and Bare Cove Park to support diabetes research and a cure. This year, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing, a four-mile Renegade Virtual Run, which includes 20 challenging “obstacles,” will be held September 12-27, 2020.

Type One’s Renegade Virtual Run sponsors support the Type One Cares campaign, a charity that is making significant strides to support individuals living with type 1 diabetes, while continuing to fund research at the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). To date, the Renegade Run has generated over $100K to support the Faustman Lab which is focused on discovering and developing new treatments for type 1 diabetes, a vaccine for the reversal of long-term type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

Major Sponsors for 2020

Prime Automotive Group is the Premier Sponsor for the race again this year. Honey Dew is a Major Sponsor and they have been with Type One Renegade Run since day one. Walmart, Eastern Bank and Global Vision Advisors are also sponsors.

According to Paul Foti, co-founder of Type One, “We are honored and proud to have such amazing sponsors. Without the generous support of our sponsors, Renegade Run would not be possible. Thank you for helping to provide a platform for our Renegades to challenge themselves, for friends and families to band together in honor of their loved ones living with T1D and for joining in our efforts to raise awareness and funds for research toward the cure.”

Sponsorships are available. To sponsor Type One’s Renegade Virtual Run, visit https://typeonerenegaderun.com/sponsors/

Renegade Virtual Run – How It Works

Participants complete a four-mile run, jog or walk, along with the series of 20 challenging exercises or “obstacles” on their own. Participants can map their own outdoor four-mile route or run/walk the route indoors on a treadmill.

For local runners, Type One offers the option of charted four-mile routes through local parks – which is the closest thing to Renegade Run’s traditional race. Simply choose the starting time and Type One will send a trail map to run.

20 Challenging “Obstacles” 

In previous years, the traditional Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race featured four miles of paved trails and wooded terrain with more than 30 obstacles such as monkey bars to cross, walls and cargo nets to climb, and tunnels to crawl through. With this year’s Renegade Virtual Run, a 20-20 challenge is presented: 20 obstacles with 20 reps each. These obstacles can be done at any time throughout the course. The obstacles are all bodyweight exercises that use an individual’s own weight to provide resistance against gravity, such as pushing, pulling, squatting, bending, twisting and balancing. The list of exercises is provided to registrants via their confirmation email.

Participants use any tracking method (GPS device/watch, tracking website or app, or treadmill reading), to track their run and record proof for submission. Once the race and obstacles are completed, participants share their time, photos and videos with Type One on social media or by email.

Friends, families and co-workers have the option to form Virtual Teams as they complete the online registration process. There will be free tech t-shirts and finisher medals for those who complete the race, a commemorative bib, as well as opportunities to win prizes.

About Type One

Type One, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognizes a world free of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is dedicated to that future by raising public awareness and funds toward a cure through research. Type One was founded in 2012 by a group of South Shore residents to support their friend Tyson Sunnerberg, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, when he was 21 years old. On November 25, 2012, the first ever Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race was held raising awareness and funds toward a cure.

In addition to supporting the Faustman Lab at MGH, Type One donation and fundraising platforms help provide scholarships to local children with type 1 diabetes to attend type 1 diabetes camp, as well as providing qualifying recipients with assistance for diabetes management and treatment. For more information on the Faustman Lab at MGH and type 1 diabetes, visit www.faustmanlab.org
