With a growing number of individuals needing assistance, OCES appeals to the community to support their Emergency Fund on #GivingTuesday.

November 13, 2020 //  by admin

With continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s imperative that older adults and individuals with disabilities have a place to turn to when faced with an emergency circumstance that threatens their health and/or living situation.

Whether struggling with an empty oil tank, an emergency home repair, an inability to pay for necessary medication or other dire situation, Old Colony Elder Services’ (OCES), the non-profit agency serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout the greater Brockton and Plymouth county area, has an Emergency Fund to help those most vulnerable in the community.

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. OCES’ Emergency Fund has been used to assist with fuel, utilities, short-term emergency shelter, medical transport, life-sustaining medications, hot water heaters and other needs.

#GivingTuesday is December 1st

Last year, OCES received more than $8,200 in donations to their Emergency Fund on #GivingTuesday. The agency hopes to meet or exceed that amount this year. OCES’ theme for #GivingTuesday 2020 is #CommunityTogether. Please support OCES as we come together as one community to help keep our neighbors safe and independent during these challenging times #Communitytogether.

“With the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant increase in the number of older residents in the 23 communities we serve who need assistance with basic needs such as putting meals on their table or heating their home. Emergency Fund is what supports OCES in providing this assistance,” said Nicole M. Long, CEO. “This year has been incredibly challenging for so many in our community. If possible, on #GivingTuesday, please consider making a donation to OCES’ Emergency Fund to help support our neighbors in need.”

OCES is recognized as a tax exempt charitable corporation under section 501c3 of the IRS tax code.  To make a donation to OCES’ Emergency Fund online, visit www.ocesma.org/donations/. Donations may also be made by check or money order and mailed to OCES, 144 Main Street, Brockton, MA 02301.

November is National Diabetes Awareness Month.

November 11, 2020 //  by admin

Footsteps heard around the world as popular obstacle course race goes virtual to raise funds for research and a cure for type 1 diabetes.

November is National Diabetes Month and November 14th is World Diabetes Day. Type One, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Hingham, MA, recognizes a world free of type 1 diabetes and is dedicated to that future by raising public awareness and funds toward a cure through research.

With a goal to raise awareness and increase their footprint, Type One’s Renegade Run, the popular obstacle course race supporting type 1 diabetes research and a cure, did exactly that this year. After pivoting to a virtual four-mile run/walk due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Renegade Virtual Run successfully expanded their reach across the globe, with participants from Australia, France and the Netherlands, and stretching from the U.S. West Coast to East Coast and states in-between. 

“Although our race looked different this year, our virtual format was a tremendous success in that we were able to reach well beyond our borders, receiving support for our mission and vision of a cure to end T1D,” explained Type One’s co-founder, Paul Foti.

Renegade Virtual Run allowed participants to complete the race anytime, anywhere from mid-September to mid-October. This year marked the ninth year of the obstacle course race which has traditionally been held at Wompatuck State Park and Bare Cove Park in Hingham.

Renegade Virtual Run supports the “Type One Cares” campaign dedicated to building a community to assist those affected by type 1 diabetes with support, education and endowment, so they can live a powerful life beyond the diagnosis. The Type One Cares campaign does this while continuing to fund research at the Faustman Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). To date, Renegade Run has generated over $100,000 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.

In the U.S., diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Findings from the CDC’s National Diabetes Statistics Report, state that just over one in 10 Americans have diabetes, and there has been a significant increase in new diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among youth in the U.S. 

“Type 1 diabetes doesn’t just involve the person living with the disease, it involves their entire family and support system,” explained Foti. “We’re a local nonprofit that is proud to create an event that provided communities around the world with hope, with an outlet to come together virtually to raise awareness and funds toward a cure for type 1 diabetes and to assist those living with the disease.”

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

Type One is incredibly grateful to all the individuals and virtual teams who rallied to support and participate in Renegade Virtual Run. Type One thanks sponsors Prime Motor Group, Honey Dew, Walmart, Global Vision Advisors, Eastern Bank, Stiles Law, and CBD Stat for their essential support.

#GivingTuesday

For those who were unable to participate in the Renegade Virtual Run this year, but would still like to support individuals with type 1 diabetes and the research for a cure, consider making a donation to “Type One Cares” campaign on #GivingTuesday, December 1, 2020. https://typeonerenegaderun.com/donate/

About Type One

Type One, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognizes a world free of type 1 diabetes 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. Type One is headquartered in Hingham, MA.

Emerson Bearing Boston Releases New Machine Tool Spindle eBook

October 27, 2020 //  by admin

The latest complimentary guide on a successful spindle bearing set up is now available at EmersonBearing.com.

In the machine tool industry, spindles are a critical component used to shape materials through the use of high-speed rotation and pressure. Optimal bearing selection must be determined through considerations about the properties required by the main spindle being used such as maximum speed, radial and axial rigidities.

Boston based Emerson Bearing, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, offers their latest free resource, “Super Precision Bearings for Machine Tools: Factors for A Successful Spindle Bearing Set up” as a guide and overview on what you need to know for a successful bearing set up. 

Essentially, there are four separate categories for bearings used in machine tool spindles: Angular-Contact Ball Bearings; Radial or Deep-Groove Bearings; Roller Bearings; and Thrust Ball Bearings. The guide explains it all – from rigidity of spindle, preloading, bearing arrangement options and much more.

“Machining equipment is required to be faster, more precise, and more durable than ever before and bearings are crucial parts that direct and enhance spindle movement,” explained Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing Boston.“The use of high quality bearings improves the efficiency and reliability of machine tool spindles, thereby increasing production and reducing wear and tear on machinery.”

Emerson Bearing is “Essential”

Emerson Bearing continues to ship from their 28,000 sq.ft. Boston warehouse, and they also have access to 30 suppliers around the country (in the event that a bearing is not on their shelf) and will ship directly to the customer for next day delivery. 

In light of current circumstances, Emerson Bearing offers free ground freight on orders of $250 or more. 

For more information about Emerson Bearing’s solutions, contact their team at 866-995-8760 or visit EmersonBearing.com.

Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography offers 7 tips for taking stunning holiday photos

October 23, 2020 //  by admin

Even though holiday celebrations may look a lot different this year, the tradition of a taking a holiday family photo continues and will likely take on even more importance.

Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography, a commercial and fine art photography studio located in Plymouth, MA, offers the following 7 tips for taking stunning holiday photos:

“Matchy-matchy” is a good thing. Coordinate outfits color-wise. For example, if one person is wearing red plaid, make sure other family members are also wearing red or a complimentary color. Avoid wearing metallic. Solid colors such as white, red, green, gold and black are best. In groups of four, only one person should be wearing plaid or a pattern. And yes, coordinating pajamas work just fine. Don’t be afraid to incorporate textures by wearing a shearling jacket or polar fleece.

When it comes to lighting, avoid the sun and flames.  If you’re outdoors, don’t shoot into the sun as it washes out the photo. Campfire shots are not recommended as it’s difficult to frame people around a fire, plus there’s a lot of smoke and the glow affects lighting. If you’re indoors, use a flash to avoid a yellow tinge and shadows in your photo. Also, leave any lit candles or lamps out of your holiday shot.

Backdrop is key. Simplicity is key when it comes to backdrop. Limit what’s behind you. Multicolored lights on a Christmas tree in the background works well as the lights will fade out. Another great backdrop example is the side of a barn at a Christmas tree farm. Or, just the trees in the background (check your viewfinder to ensure it doesn’t appear as if branches are coming out of the top of someone’s head). If you wanted to get more elaborate, consider the tree backdrop with everyone seated on the tailgate of a red pick-up truck.

Frame it just right. Mind the spacing between family members as they often stand or sit too far apart. Remember to leave enough space above people’s heads in the photo too. Otherwise, when the photo is framed, it cuts across the tops of heads. If you’re indoors, keep it simple and take a tight shot. No need to show the entire home in the photo. Again, be aware of any background items that make it appear too busy or as if the item is part of someone’s shoulder.

The pose. Try to avoid the stiff “super posed” portrait of yesteryear. If a large family is gathered, make sure that everyone is looking at the camera. Mind all hand, arm and leg positioning. Raising an arm or waving is not only distracting, it may block another’s face in the photo. In a photo with five or fewer – hugging, holding hands and engaging with one another appears natural.

Simple props. The family photo can be fun and celebrate the season with some very simple props. The easiest prop is clothing such as scarves, hats and mittens. Other tasteful props include a nostalgic wooden sled, ice skates tied together and dangling over a shoulder, someone holding skis up or ski poles (pointed down).

Costumes and mischief. A holiday photo really serves as a memory and marks a special moment. You may want to refrain from “cheesy” photos of pets adorned with holiday lights, or dad wearing a Grinch costume, or play-fighting with those ski-pole props mentioned above.  

“There’s quite a bit that goes in to creating an amazing, yet natural holiday photo,” explained Debi Cramer, founder and principle photographer at Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography. Cramer should know, having spent many years photographing people, places and things all over the world. With a background in fine arts, textile and graphic design, Cramer shoots with a designer’s eye, which produces stunning images that are highly marketable. Her international travels, study abroad experience in Edinburgh, Scotland as well as living in Singapore span more than two decades.

Holiday Front Porch Photo

Prefer to leave the holiday photo to a pro? Cramer offers the option of a professional holiday “front porch” photo.

Cramer continued, “Front porch photos with decorative hints, using the gentle approach of clothing colors and textures, brings the holiday into the photo. For those who would like a professional photo for the holidays, Thirty-Eighth Avenue Photography is offering an on-location option and capturing holiday front porch moments.”
