1. 2001 Mariners

RECORD: 54-17 (.761), +134 run differential

The Mariners went 4-3 on a road trip down the West Coast from Games 65 to 71, but all three of those losses were close. First, Seattle missed a chance to finish a three-game sweep of the Padres on June 17 with an 11-9 loss in San Diego. The next day they lost the opener of a four-game set in Oakland, 4-3, then dropped another two days later on a walk-off, three-run homer by the A’s Eric Chavez. Seattle salvaged the last game of that series, and the road trip, by winning another slugfest on June 21, beating Oakland 12-10 behind home runs in consecutive innings from Al Martin, Mike Cameron, David Bell and Bret Boone. Also of note that week: John Olerud hit for the cycle in the second game of the Padres series, becoming just the second player ever to hit for the cycle in both leagues..

Image placeholder title

2. 1969 Orioles

RECORD: 52-19 (.732), +163

The Orioles played seven games in just five days, including doubleheaders on both June 20 and 22 in Cleveland. Baltimore split both of those twinbills but won the game in between, before coming home and taking the first two games of a three-game series with the Senators. In the first game against Washington, the O’s got eighth-inning home runs from Frank Robinson and Davey Johnson to win 5-3, and the next night they won on a three-run walk-off homer by Robinson.

Image placeholder title

3. 1998 Yankees

RECORD: 52-19 (.732), +129

Echoing the ’69 Orioles, the Yankees split four games in Cleveland to open this stretch of their season, though these Indians, who were leading the AL Central, are a far more impressive bunch than the 1969 edition that wound up with 99 losses. New York then began a four-game home-and-away set against the Braves, splitting the first two at home before winning the initial game in Atlanta 10-6.

Image placeholder title

4. 1909 Pirates

RECORD: 52-19 (.732), +94

The Pirates capped a July 5 doubleheader sweep against the Reds to start this seven-game stretch. Their only loss in that time came in the opener of a six-game series against the Giants at the Polo Grounds, which they immediately followed with three straight wins. Two of those came in another doubleheader, this one on July 9, that left Pittsburgh eight games in front in the National League race.

Image placeholder title

5. 1927 Yankees

RECORD: 51-20 (.718), +186

New York won all seven of its games in this stretch, starting with the back-end of its doubleheader against the Athletics on June 26. They beat Philadelphia twice more on the 27th and 28th to earn a split of the six-game series. The Yankees then won three in a row against the Red Sox. Babe Ruth, who had left with an injury in the second game of the A’s series, returned to the lineup and went 4-for-5 in the opener against Boston. Lou Gehrig, meanwhile, homered in four straight games, starting with the finale of the Athletics series, and slugged an even 1.000 with five home runs in the New York’s seven-game winning streak.

Image placeholder title

6. 1906 Cubs

RECORD: 50-21 (.704), +130

Just one month after acquiring Orval Overall from the Reds, the Cubs made another crucial addition to their pitching staff, landing 32-year-old veteran righty Jack Taylor from the Cardinals on July 1 for a pair of rookies, righty Fred Beebe and catcher Pete Noonan. Taylor is currently near the end of a record streak of complete games that will be snapped at 187 later this season. Though he has had several relief appearances sprinkled throughout, he has not been removed from a game he has started since 1901.

Image placeholder title

7. 1986 Mets

RECORD: 50-21 (.703), +104

After the Mets won the rubber game of a series against the Cubs on June 22, the second-place Expos came to Shea Stadium and took two of three. A travel day and a rain-out in Chicago may have been just what New York needed, because it won both games at Wrigley Field and then crushed the rival Cardinals 7-0 in the opener in St. Louis, making them 5-0 at Busch Stadium on the season. Off-season addition Bob Ojeda scattered seven hits in the shutout of the fourth-place Cardinals, moving to 9-2 on the season and dropping the reigning National League champions 19 games back.

Image placeholder title

8. 1954 Indians

RECORD: 49-22 (.690), +192

After losing 5-1 to the Philadelphia A’s in Game 65, the Indians welcomed the Yankees to Cleveland and were routed 11-0 and 11-9 in consecutive games. The Indians won the finale against New York to prevent their first four-game losing streak of the season but there was still bad news: starting pitcher Bob Lemon tore a muscle in his side in his first at-bat and had to come out of the game after just two innings of work. The rest of the starting pitchers then stepped up, with Art Houtteman and Mike Garcia domianting a rain-shortened two-game series against the Orioles in Baltimore, and Bob Feller and Early Wynn leading Cleveland to a doubleheader sweep of the Red Sox, giving the Indians four straight complete game victories from their vaunted starting pitching staff.

Image placeholder title

9. 2016 Cubs

RECORD: 47-24 (.662), +162

The Cubs hadn’t dropped more than two straight all year before this week began, but they are currently in the midst of a four-game skid. They were swept by the Cardinals at Wrigley Field, scoring just eight runs in the process, then scored only two runs in losing the opener of a four-game set in Miami.To make matters worse, outfielder Dexter Fowler went on the disabled list with a sore hamstring, where he joins fellow outfielders Kyle Schwarber and Jorge Soler. The good news is that manager Joe Maddon has a flexible roster. Moving Kris Byrant into leftfield has created regular playing time for Javier Baez at third base, and Baez has responded well, hitting .296/.342/.535 since May 27.The Cubs are now on pace to win “just” 107 games, but there’s good reason to expect them to rebound from their current slump, particularly if Fowler can return on schedule a week from Sunday.

Image placeholder title

10. 1975 Reds

RECORD: 44-27 (.620), +109

The most notable of the Reds’ five wins in this week came on June 21 in Houston, when they beat the Astros 7-6 in 14 innings despite blowing leads of 4-0 and, in the 10th inning, 6-4. After dropping the finale at the Astrodome, Cincinnati won the first two games of a three-game set in Atlanta. Johnny Bench drove in four runs in an 8-4 win in the opener, and Pat Darcy out-dueled Phil Niekro in the second game thanks to a three-run home run by Joe Morgan that accounted for all of the scoring.

Image placeholder title

11. 1961 yankees

RECORD: 44-27 (.620), +82

Minnesota’s Camilo Pascual shut out New York on June 23, but the Bronx Bombers scored at least eight runs in the four games surrounding that one. The Yankees beat the Kansas City A’s 8-3 in the finale of that series, then rebounded from Pascual’s blanking to blast the Twins’ 10-7 and 8-4 and take the set at Metropolitan Stadium. From there it was on to Los Angeles, where the Yanks lost two of three to the expansion Angels at Wrigley Field (yes, that was the name) to end a season-long five-city,16-game road trip at 9-7.

Google Doodle celebrates Japanese artist Uemura Shoen

23 Apr 2015

Today’s Google Doodle celebrates the 140th birthday of Uemura Shoen, a female artist from Japan whose important works were in Meiki, Taisho and early Showa period painting.

The name is actually a pseudonym for Uemura Tsune, an artist born in Kyoto whose paintings of beautiful women still attract art fans today.

There are dedicated Pinterest pages for her work, which is pretty impressive, and plenty of her paintings can be seen at the Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art in Japan. There are some good write-ups on her on various art gallery websites, but this one from Sakura gallery seems the most apt.

Google Doodle Uemura Shoen

Today’s Google Doodle; the image of the lady represents Jo-no-mai, Uemera’s 1936 masterpiece

She died in 1949, and in her later years Shoen worked on patriotic pieces as Japan fought in the Pacific leg of World War II.

She was given the Order of Culture, the first woman to be awarded it, just one year before her death.

Directed by Clint Eastwood

Expectations: Low.

Another one I had been avoiding. I love Clint Eastwood, but I usually find his directorial efforts to be fairly slow and plodding. There are exceptions, but as a rule, his films are understated and meditative. This is fine, I’m just rarely in that kind of a mood so I tend to avoid his films unless I have a great interest in the subject matter. This was the case with Invictus, but I’m glad I dived in because this is a really good film.

Morgan Freeman is the definite star of the show, inhabiting the role of Nelson Mandela with ease. Freeman is recognizable as both himself and Mandela in the role, skillfully blending the two personas into a memorable screen performance that never feels like one. He gives a powerful speech early in the film on why the team name should remain the Springboks, proving why Freeman received an Oscar nomination for the role. Matt Damon is also great in his scenes, but he tends to fade into the background as a lot of his scenes are without dialogue on the Rugby field. When Damon is on-screen, his subtle performance feels natural and believable. The film is essentially broken into two halves with Freeman leading the charge in the first half of the film, and Damon taking over once the World Cup action begins.

As the film deals with the end of the Apartheid era, it is concerned with showing the cautious and uneasy integration of the black and white people of South Africa. Initially, they are at odds with the situation they find themselves in, obviously preferring the old to the new, fearful unknown. There are small scenes of friendship that get deeper and warmer as the film progresses. For instance, there’s a scene towards the end where a young black child who could not get into the Rugby game inches up to a police car where two white officers listen to the game on the radio. At first they look at him with disgust and he sits far away on the curb. He slowly moves closer and closer as the game goes on until they all finally end up arm in arm out of sheer joy. This is all a bit eye-roll inducing, but the sentiment behind it is something the world would do well to aspire towards. If I didn’t know this was a true story I don’t think I would have believed it, but the fact that it is, is a testament to the power of sports to unite people of all walks to a singular cause. It’s a shame that we can’t unite over something that really matters, but one could argue that anything with this amount of power does matter. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this film comes out now, with America having a newly elected black president who seeks to unite his people on common ground. Invictus is not an overly political film though. The focus is on the relationship between Mandela and the Springboks and the tone is feel-good.

The story of the rugby games were all told through the camera and editing. This was a great touch. There was never an annoying announcer spouting off the score a million times, only shots of the players, a few scoreboards and reactions from the crowd and/or Morgan Freeman. It became obvious what was happening and who won if you are paying attention and it made the part of the movie that I was dreading, some of my favorite moments of the film. Also, as the games get more and more intense, with more on the line, the footage of them gets slower and slower. Slow-motion sports footage is nothing new, but it is done here with such care that it seems fresh. The rise in intensity versus the gradual slowing of the images creates a nice duality that works on a deeper level than if Eastwood had chosen to go louder and more bombastic. I’d never expect Eastwood to go “loud and bombastic,” but you never know. The understated nature of the film works magic during these rugby scenes and really elevates them far higher than I ever expected them to go. I had no knowledge of the outcome of the big game as well, which really helped to make this film exciting and engaging.

While the opening of the film is a little hard to grasp and comprised mostly of talking heads, patient viewers will find a feel-good film that excites as well as touches. It moves at a good pace after the opening and is one of the better films of 2009. Eastwood shows that his directorial chops are still present and I hope he continues to make film of this quality.

Silvia Colasanti – Requiem at Festival di Spoleto 60′

This post is also available in: Italian

Yesteday at Mibact have been announced the program of the Festival di Spoleto 60′. On July 2 will be executed in Piazza del Duomo:

For Soloists, Choir and Orchestra

Silvia Colasanti music

on texts by Mariangela Gualtieri

and Latin texts from the liturgy

Director Maxime Pascal

Italian Youth Orchestra

International Opera Choir

Gea Garatti choir master

Reciting voice Mariangela Gualtieri

Singer Monica Bacelli

Bandoneon Richard Galliano

Spoleto Festival Committee 60

The Spoleto 2017 Festival wants to start with a moment of reflection and recollection by dedicating an evening to the earthquake that hit the center of Italy. Perhaps only music and poetry can approach without rhetoric to this huge mass of pain, and attempt a vivifying act. The Festival has thus commissioned Silvia Colasanti to write a Requiem, Soloists, Choir and Orchestra in which Latin texts of the Mass of Requiem dialogue with new texts written for the occasion by the poet Mariangela Gualtieri. It will be a song of release to the deaths of the earthquake, the small and great shadows, the rejection of a mournful idea of death and of a godly, judge, authoritarian and punitive God. But also a song of hope and thanksgiving. The work will have an oratorial structure with several characters: a singer / heart reduced to ashes, a voice reciting / doubting, the chorus of who does not doubt, the Bandoneon / Breath of the earth. The singer and the actress – here the poet himself – talk with Choir and Orchestra, or draw intimate and lyrical moments that alternate with choral and magical situations. Finally, it will be the solo bandoneon to personify a desire for rebirth, which is demanded of forgiveness for human smallness and thanksgiving song to earth and heaven: with pity, ardor and sweetness of which the lay rite of music and poetry are capable.

Quarantine in Style! by Emma Toon

Quarantine in Style! by Emma Toon

Hello, It’s Emma with you today, I’m so excited to show you how I’ve used the Simple Stories Quarantined collection.

I chose the 6x8 Sn@p! Robins Egg Flip Book to document this crazy time we’re all going through!

What I love about collection kits is that there’s so much you can do with them!

Not only do you get the 12x12 papers, but you get the element sheets and the 12x12 sticker sheet.

You’ll see how on the front of the flip book and on these full pages how I’ve used elements from the cut apart sheets and also I’ve used stickers which I’ve backed with card and a foam sticky pad, to add layers.

I’ve also used a circle punch to cut out circles from one of the elements, don’t be frightened to cut out images you like, I’ve done this a lot with the rainbows!

I’ve also cut one of the houses out here on this 6x8 card and used a sticker too which again I’ve backed with card and raised using a foam sticky pad.

I hope this shows you how many different ways a collection kit can be used! There’s so many options, have fun!!

Until next time, stay safe and keep smiling!!

Insulin Glulisine

Drug Class: Commonly Known As: Category:
Insulin Apidra Solostar Adult, Children

Insulin Glulisine - What is it for

Insulin Glulisine is a rapid (fast) acting insulin. It is used to reduce high blood sugar levels after a meal in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Insulin Glulisine - Side Effects, Precautions, and Contraindications

What side effects can Insulin Glulisine cause?

The most common side effect with the use of insulin is low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia).

Low blood sugar may occur if you:

  • you inject too much insulin;
  • you do not eat on time, miss your meals or change your diet;
  • you exercise or work too hard just before or after a meal;
  • you do not eat well due to an infection or illness (especially diarrhoea or vomiting);
  • you drink alcohol on an empty stomach while injecting insulin;
  • there is a change in your need for insulin;
  • you have trouble with your kidneys or liver which gets worse.

Alcohol and some medicines can also affect your blood sugar levels.

Symptoms of low blood sugar include weakness, dizziness, hunger, sweating, trembling, blurred vision, walking unsteadily or fast heartbeat.

If you experience any of these low blood sugar symptoms, do the following immediately:

Step 1: Check your blood sugar level with a home blood sugar meter (glucometer) if available. If your blood sugar level is less than 4 mmol/L, take 15 grams of sugar such as:

  • 3 glucose tablets or
  • Half a glass of fruit juice or
  • 3 teaspoons of sugar, honey or syrup

Step 2:  You should feel better in about 15 minutes. If you have a home blood sugar meter, you should check your blood sugar level.

Step 3: If your blood sugar level is still less than 4 mmol/L or you still have symptoms of low blood sugar, you should take another 15 grams of sugar.

If your symptoms still do not get better, see a doctor or go to the hospital immediately.

Other side effects

  • Some patients may also experience mild pain, redness, inflammation, bruising, swelling, shrinking or thickening of the skin at the injection site. Continuous rotation of the injection site within the recommended areas for injections will reduce the chances of developing such reactions. They also usually go away in a few days to a few weeks.
  • You may also gain weight with insulin injections. Thus, you are encouraged to exercise regularly (at least 3 times a week) while on this medication.

See a doctor or go to the hospital immediately if your blood sugar level is always low and experience symptoms even after taking amounts of sugar as directed by your doctor or nurse (see instructions above for management of low blood sugar.

Before taking Insulin Glulisine, what precautions must I follow?

Inform your doctor if

  • you are allergic to this medication or any of the other ingredients of this medication
  • you drink alcohol often
  • you are eating less than usual due to sickness or changed diet as your dosage may need to be changed
  • travelling across time zones as timing of your insulin may change
  • you are pregnant or are breastfeeding

If your doctor has informed you that you need to do a fasting blood test, do not inject insulin until after you have your blood taken and are ready to eat.

What food or medicine must I avoid when I take Insulin Glulisine?

Avoid taking alcohol with this medication.

Insulin Glulisine - Dosage and How to Use

How should Insulin Glulisine be used?

Insulin Glulisine is given immediately or 15 minutes before a meal as an injection into the fatty tissue under the skin. Do not forget to eat after injecting Insulin Glulisine. If you need to, you can inject immediately after a meal instead. Use the injection technique advised by your doctor or nurse and as described in the manual. Ensure that your insulin appears clear and colourless before use. Do not use if it appears cloudy, grainy or if particles are seen in the vial. Do not stop insulin without checking with your doctors.

 How to select an injection site

  •  Insulin should be injected into the fatty tissue that is between the skin and muscle layer
  •  Where you inject is important as it affects the speed that insulin is absorbed by the body
    •  Abdomen/Stomach area – Fastest to get absorbed
    • Arm – Intermediate rate to get absorbed
    • Thigh and buttock – Slowest to get absorbed
  • You should rotate the injection site within the same area to prevent your body from forming " fatty lumps"  or "hollow areas".
  • Do not inject insulin in the areas that are actively used during exercise.

How to inject insulin

  • Clean the skin before injecting the insulin.
  • Pinch your skin to form a fold.
  • Insert the needle at 90 degrees, right angle to the skin.
  • During the injection, inject the insulin by pushing the plunger all the way down slowly with your index finger, wait for about 10 seconds before removing the needle and releasing the pinched skin.
  • Keep the plunger down until the needle has been taken out from the skin. This will ensure you get the full dose. Do not rub or massage the injection site.
  • Throw the syringe or pen needle away properly in a container that cannot be punctured.

What should I do if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, inject the next dose at the usual time. Do not inject two doses to make up for a missed dose.

If you forget to inject your insulin, your blood sugar may get too high (hyperglycemia). Check your blood sugar with a home blood sugar meter (glucometer). When your blood sugar is high for too long, you may experience increased urination, feeling thirsty, feeling sick (nausea or vomiting), feeling drowsy or tired, abdominal pain, flushed face and a fruity (acetone) smell of the breath. These may be signs of a very serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis where there is a build-up of acid in the blood because the body is breaking down fat instead of sugar. Please see the doctor immediately if you have the above symptoms.

What should I do if I overdose?

If you take more than the instructed dose, please get medical advice immediately.

Insulin Glulisine - Handling

How should I handle Insulin Glulisine safely?

Please refer to the product insert which can be found in the medication box, for instructions for use of your specific insulin preparation

Insulin Glulisine - Storage

How should I store Insulin Glulisine?

Store unopened insulin in a refrigerator between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Do not freeze. Do not keep insulin in a hot place (e.g. in a hot, closed vehicle, on top of a television set) or expose it to heat or sunlight. Insulin that is exposed to direct sunlight for too long may give it a yellow-brown colour. Do not use the insulin if this happens.

Once the insulin is in use, it no longer has to be refrigerated, but should be thrown away after 4 weeks.

Keep this medication out of reach of children. Throw away all expired medicines.

How should I dispose of Insulin Glulisine safely?

If used at home, you may throw this injection away along with the used needles, into a metal tin,  or glass jar or thick plastic container (e.g. detergent bottles) to prevent  any needle stick injury.

St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre, a registered charitable institution, was founded by the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph and is sponsored by Catholic Health International. The Centre is composed of Complex Continuing Care and Long-Term Care.

For more than a century, the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph never failed to recognize the needs of the sick, the elderly and the very young. Their legacy of holistic and compassionate care is reflected in our Mission, Values and Vision Statements.  The institutions they founded in Cornwall will forever be a part of history:  Hotel Dieu Hospital, St. Paul’s Home, Nazareth Orphanage, St. Joseph’s School of Nursing, Macdonell Memorial Hospital, St. Joseph’s Villa, Marie de la Ferre Apartments, Janet Macdonell Pavilion, and the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph Health Centre of Cornwall.  By their example, we are committed to improve the quality of life of seniors and adults affected by loss of autonomy through injury or illness.

The generosity of our Sisters was manifest in their courageous decision to transfer the Hotel Dieu Hospital site to the Cornwall Community.  In July 2003, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care officially accepted the proposal of the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph that would result in a new community hospital on the McConnell Avenue site.  Since January 2004, the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph have continued to serve the Cornwall community by caring for the elderly and special needs residents at St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre.

The Centre has restructured services and built a modern facility to consolidate all Complex Continuing Care and Long-Term Care on one site.  This site is the very place where the first RHSJ Sisters who came to Cornwall started their ministry in health care by founding Hotel Dieu Hospital in the spring of 1897 in the former home of Sir John Sandfield Macdonald, called “Ivy Hall”.

Upon completion of Phase one of the construction, the residents were moved into the new Long-Term Care facility the first week of December 2007.   An official opening ceremony and blessing of the new St. Joseph’s Villa was held on Thursday, 07 February 2008.  Phase two of the construction project, Hotel Dieu Hospital, was completed in summer 2009, adding 59 Complex Continuing Care (CCC) beds.  The CCC residents moved in on 09 July 2009.  The Grand Opening of the completed facility was celebrated 16 September 2009.

St. Joseph’s Continuing Care Centre is proud to be accredited by CARF International.  Our Centre is a member of Catholic Health International, sponsors of hospitals and long-term care facilities in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, Canada; Illinois and Wisconsin, U.S.A.; and the Dominican Republic.

May the same spirit of love, concern and dedication that motivated the first Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph animate each member of our Centre as we meet the diverse needs of our residents, patients and families.

Should I Agree To a Social Disability Hearing over Telephone?

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has temporarily changed how disability hearings function. Due to social distancing requirements, all Social Security district and field offices and hearing offices have been closed, and in-person hearings have been canceled for the foreseeable future.

Social Security Disability Hearing Options During COVID-19 Pandemic

However, people who are applying for SSDI and or SSI benefits still need help. Therefore, the Social Security Administration has given claimants with scheduled hearing dates three options:

  1. Claimants can choose to postpone their hearing until Coronavirus-related restrictions have been lifted and normal operations resume. SSA will then reschedule their hearing.
  2. SSDI/SSI claimants can keep their scheduled hearing date and opt for a telephone hearing instead. The Administrative Law Judge [“ALJ”], attorney, claimant, and vocational/medical experts who would have been present at the hearing will all participate from their homes via telephone (a multi-person telephone conference call).
  3. Claimants may also choose to have a video hearing at a Social Security attorney’s office if the attorney has been certified to do so (which most have not).

Should I Agree to A Telephone Hearing?

Most Social Security Disability attorneys are concerned about the effectiveness of claimants participating in telephone hearings for their Social Security disability case. If you have mental impairments or physical impairments that cannot be seen on x-rays or MRI scans, it may be more difficult for the judge to understand the severity of and extent of your conditions if they do not meet with you in person (for example the ALJ will not be able to see if you walk with a limp, have difficulty sitting down or standing up or sitting for prolonged periods, or have other physical signs of your impairments, including signs of anxiety or panic). It may also be more difficult to establish credibility over the telephone since the judge will not be meeting you face to face.

However, postponing your hearing rather than opting for a telephone hearing is not the best option for every claimant. Nobody knows when Social Security Administration offices will reopen, so you may need to wait a very long time for your hearing to be rescheduled if you do not want to do it over the telephone.

Factors to Consider When Making a Decision

There is no one-size-fits-all answer for whether you should choose a telephone hearing for your SSDI/SSI disability case. Your Social Security disability attorney should consider many factors before advising you, including:

  • The ALJ that has been assigned to hear your case
  • The nature of your physical and or mental impairments
  • The strength of your claim
  • Your financial circumstances
  • And more.

However, ultimately, it is up to you whether or not to participate in a telephone hearing, after your attorney discusses the above factors with you.

Contact Sara J. Frankel for Consultation

At the Law Offices of Sara J. Frankel and Associates, we can advise you which option is best for your case. If we believe that you have a strong case with overwhelming evidence, a telephone hearing may work for you. If not, you may have to wait until in-person hearings resume.

Call us today at  (508) 730-1451 or submit a free consultation form online to discuss your case.

Is A Short Course Worth It?

Doing a Short Course is a strategic move that you can undertake to improve your knowledge, skills, and marketability within a specific field. A short course primarily develops and enhances your skills. A short course helps you to continue your education and become a lifelong learner, someone that is always growing and developing.

The reality is that when you are relying on experience alone, often you learn by making mistakes before learning how to correct it – and in business, mistakes can be extremely costly. Moving into a management or leadership position without preparing yourself to do so will leave you short-sighted, as even though you might have good grasp for your current position, lack of formal input may mean that you lack the knowledge needed for what is ahead. If you are not sure you have all the skills you require to succeed as a supervisor, a short course can help you close that gap.

Studying will keep you up to date with the latest developments in business management, as well as newer technologies involved in the process. Staying ahead of the curve will allow you to ensure that you and your department are performing at peak levels.

Short Courses and Accreditation Status

Short courses are NOT accredited by the Council on Higher Education (CHE) or SAQA and, as such, are not qualifications. This means that they are not credit-bearing and should not to be confused with Higher Certificate or Diploma programmes.

What are the benefits of short courses?

  • A lot of industry players encourage their people to do short courses in order to stay current within their market, as well as to foster growth within their career.
  • A short course is skills-focused in a specific area that helps your professional development.
  • Study and develop your skills at the same time that you are working.
  • A short course takes a shorter period of time to complete, and it is cheaper than a qualification.
  • Short courses are affordable and often have no or little registration fees.
  • You can also do a short course even if you do not have a matric. This is not possible with a higher certificate or diploma, as Grade 12 is a requirement.

Think of a short course as a way to your future. Growth that is affordable and accessible to everyone.

Fraxel Laser Treatment And Skin Tags

Laser skin therapy is an increasingly popular method of dealing with a variety of skin disorders, such as skin tags. The technology is precise, safe and effective. Laser therapy such as fraxel laser is expensive and could fall anywhere from $300-$5,000. Additionally, a patient would require more than one session of laser therapy. The number of sessions may vary according to the number of skin tags the patient may have. Typically a person can have from 50-100 skin tags.

Fraxel laser treatment is a form of laser skin therapy. Approved by the FDA, the fraxel laser treatment works to effectively resurface the skin from the inside. The results are seen in the improved texture of the skin, an even skin tone, and smoother skin. It is considered preferable to other treatments as it is less risk and does not ordinarily result in discomfort from redness and irritation. The fraxel treatment works by penetrating deep into the skin, triggering the body’s natural ability to heal. It replaces damaged tissue with younger, healthier skin. There are no side effects really it largely depends on the individual. It is true that some people are blessed with the ability to heal faster than others. Also, it depends on the intensity of the treatment as well as the severity of the skin tags. Some amount of swelling and redness is normal; however abnormal swelling to the face and eyes, sunburn-type redness with peeling may also occur.

Remember, skin tags are noncancerous skin growth that is small and measures a few millimeters in size. The tags protrude from the skin and sometimes have a short, narrow stalk connecting it to the skin. They are common amongst individuals over the age of 40 and they develop over time.  These growths are prevalent in people who are corpulent and suffer from diabetes. Skin tags are found under the armpits, neck, body folds, back or other place where the skin is rubbing against itself.  It is normally dark in color.

Fraxel laser treatment is expensive but if your skin tags are causing you embarrassment, then maybe it’s time to get rid of them. Though unsightly, depending on where they are and how many you have, they are not contagious. They are harmless and painless too. Since the treatment it is worth every penny, it would be wise to take some precaution in preventing these tags from coming back.

Given that one of the causes of skin tags is obesity then it behooves you to lose weight and begin to eat foods that are rich in vitamins, nutrients and enzymes. Those who are Type 2 diabetic are also at risk; therefore they have to modify their diet. Do you see what the two causes have in common? Both solutions suggest that a sensible diet be adhered to.

As with all types of treatment, always consult a medical professional before making a decision.

Blockbuster Movie Pass taking a jab at Netflix on October 1

Rue Liu - Sep 23, 2011, 1:59pm CDT
Blockbuster Movie Pass taking a jab at Netflix on October 1

Dish Network and Blockbuster announced a new service called Blockbuster Movie Pass that offers internet movie and TV show streaming as well as DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and games by mail. The service will start October 1 and the announcement couldn’t have come at a better time, taking aim at Netflix just days after the ill-received Qwikster spinoff.

Blockbuster Movie Pass will allow subscribers to access Blockbuster’s broader catalog of 10,000 movies via internet streaming, including content from Starz and other providers that have snubbed Netflix. Movie rentals can be returned via mail or to a local Blockbuster store and Blu-ray movies aren’t charged at a premium like they are by Netflix.

Despite some of the advantages, the Blockbuster Movie Pass may not hurt Netflix more than Netflix’s own detrimental decision to conceive Qwikster because the service is only available to Dish Network subscribers. These folks must pay an additional $10 per month on top of their Dish subscription to get the new service. This pretty much defeats the purpose of why a lot of people choose streaming—to cut ties from a cable subscription.

West Virginia Ready To Win With Defense In 2015

New, 7 comments

West Virginia has cultivated a reputation over the years for winning behind high-flying offenses, but if the Mountaineers are going to contend in their fourth year in the Big 12, it will be on the backs of a battled-tested and talented defense.

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor and daily distractions.

News Of Note

West Virginia primed to win with defense in 2015 | ESPN
The Mountaineers have taken their lumps since joining the Big 12, but they now boast 16 defenders with starting experience and plenty of talent.

Sure hands make Howard the choice as WVU’s QB | Charleston Gazette-Mail
If you ask Mountaineer coach Dana Holgorsen, every position is open. But we all know that's not entirely true. Karl Joseph, Nick Kwiatkoski and Wendell Smallwood aren't likely to be replaced on the depth chart, and the likelyhood that someone other than Skyler Howard will start at quarterback is slim.

WVU Must Correct Turnover Margin In 2015 | BlueGoldNews
West Virginia's football team managed to fashion a 7-6 record in 2014 despite a -1.15 turnover margin. If it could change the sign in front of that number to a "plus" the Mountaineers could easily boost their win total by at least a couple of games.

The last time Da’Sean Butler played a basketball game in Morgantown, the Mountaineers were knocking off No. 19 Georgetown on Senior Night. Five year later, Butler and many of the teammates who took the court with him that night will be back on the floor together. It’s the West Virginia Alumni Game, set to tipoff at 7 p.m. on Saturday at Morgantown High School.

Jim Ross provides call of 'Kick Six' play for Paul Finebaum | Sporting News
Jim Ross is the most iconic announcer in professional wrestling. As popular as he was during his tenures in the WWE, the height of his popularity may have just recently, thanks to the internet. But one moment that Ross' call never got dubbed over was the "Kick Six," Auburn's iconic last-second touchdown to defeat Alabama in the 2014 Iron Bowl. But on Thursday, Ross joined the Paul Finebaum Show to provide the real thing.

Joey Bosa, three more Buckeyes suspended for Ohio State opener vs. Virginia Tech | Sporting News

West Virginia Pros

How did Geno Smith look on Day 1? |
Perhaps lost in all the jaws dropping over defensive end Sheldon Richardson's latest foolish mistake (a street-racing/police-fleeing arrest that he stunningly hid from his employer) is the fact that Jets actually practiced Thursday.

When will Kevin White return? |

Sehome High School Mariner Memo

Week of April 26 - 30, 2021

Big picture

How to help SHS:

Donate items or experiences.

Buy raffle tickets!

Make a monitory contribution.

Email with questions.

Letter from the Principal

Dear Sehome Community,

We are excited for our PTSA auction coming in May. The PTSA has been instrumental in supporting programs for students and staff throughout this past year and in years past. We appreciate their partnership! If you are in a place to donate items, purchase raffle tickets or making a monetary donation, please know that it is greatly appreciated. If you are not in a place to do that, know that we appreciate the different ways that you show up to support our Sehome community. It takes us all working together to have a thriving community.

We saw an increase in the number of students who returned to in-person learning last week. It is so great having students back in the building. We ask that you would continue to review the safety protocols with your children. All students need to complete the daily health attestation, sanitize or wash their hands often, wear a well-fitting mask over their nose and mouth at all times, maintain physical distancing, and stay home when sick. We appreciate everyone's continued efforts to keep our community safe.

If you have any questions, comments, or celebrations, please reach out! Thanks for all you do to support our Sehome community!

Parking Lot Safety

Now that we are back in session and many of our students are driving to school I would like to share some good parking lot practices here at Sehome.

First, please remember our speed limit is 5 miles per hour. It’s hard to go that slow but it is so important as we have many new drivers beginning their driving career. Remember when you first got your license? Were you a little nervous behind the wheel of the car you first drove? We also have babies, toddlers, and preschool-age kids using our parking lot to access GRADS.

Second, please practice being courteous to those vehicles trying to back out of their parking spots. Do a good deed, stop and allow them to back out. We have construction going on at the intersection of Bill McDonald Pkwy and Samish Avenue. This creates some afternoon waiting time and tempers can flare. Please stop, take a breath and remember we are all in this together. We all need to pay more attention to the drivers around us.

We want everyone to get home safely at the end of the day so we can see your wonderful faces the next day. If you have concerns with a vehicle in our lots it’s best to get their license number and a description of the vehicle and I would be happy to have a conversation with that person about our parking lot protocol. Thank you so much for using our parent pickup lane and staying clear of our bus loop.

Also, our entire bus loop is for busses and emergency vehicles only and there is no parking or drop off in the loop at any time- this includes sporting events and activities.

Thank you for your cooperation! It takes a village and we have a pretty great one here! Who you are makes a difference!

I can be reached at 360.676.6481 Ext. 5258.

AP Test Fee Update

Reduced costs for Advanced Placement (AP) tests

Over the past several years, we have worked to help reduce the fees for College Board Advanced Placement (AP) tests for our students and families.

For students who qualify for the free/reduced lunch program, the entire $95 fee is covered by a combined state and federal grant. Our district discounts test fees for all other students and families so they only pay $47.50, which is half the cost.

For spring testing this year, Bellingham Public Schools has received an additional Washington State AP subsidy grant, reducing the AP testing fee to $32 for all full pay students. If students and families have already paid the $47.50, they will receive a refund of $15.50 through their school ASB office after all AP examinations have been administered.
