Heartfelt Words For February February is full of history, romance, and heart-shaped everything. Oh yes, love is in the air! But so is COVID-19. A couple of years into the pandemic, the evidence is clear. The virus is transmitted predominantly through the air.

Celebrated every February since 1976, Black History Month’s theme for 2022 conveniently focuses on the importance of Black Health and Wellness. Health and Wellness include not only one’s physical body but also emotional and mental health.

Focusing on our health has never been more critical. And being that February is a month dedicated to affairs of the heart, let me get straight to the point. Heart disease is still the No.1 killer of Americans. And people with poor cardiovascular health are at increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 and its variants.

I have learned in my 36 years of life, with several of them battling a couple of autoimmune diseases, that as long as you have good health and the love and support of your family, everything else that life throws you, you can endure.

Through my editorials, I like to encourage positive thinking and promote healthier ways of living, not just during the pandemic, but as a consistent part of our lives. The good news is that heart disease is preventable in most cases with smarter lifestyle choices. Some of them include: • Not smoking. • Maintaining a healthy weight. • Controlling blood sugar and cholesterol. • Treating high blood pressure. • Getting at least 20 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per day. • Getting regular health checkups.

Please drink more water — This is a self-reminder and a reminder to all of my readers. Are you experiencing headaches or muscle cramping? You could be dehydrated. Most of us do not drink enough fluids—which is extremely important if we consider that the human body is made up of 60% water! So let’s stay hydrated in Tampa Bay! In the still overhanging shadows of this confusing pandemic, we should all do our part to share helpful resources and valuable information that can positively impact the overall health of our local community. Let’s continue to make wise and healthy choices for ourselves and our loved ones. Until next time,

SAT AND ACT IMPROVEMENT: LOOKING AHEAD

By Dr. Wayne Adams

Bright Futures Scholarships are always of high interest with my students and parents because they can represent about $18,000 to $25,000 during a four year period at a public university in Florida, and eligibility can help in negotiating the best college “deals” with both private and nonFlorida public universities out-of-state. At this time, there appear to be no changes in award levels and qualifications for either the 100% or 75% levels for 20222023. But significant possible changes are being discussed now in the Florida legislature, which controls the Bright Futures program. The most significant idea is to modify the program was recently voiced by Chris Sprowls who recently told reporters the state needs to focus on its workforce priorities, and that it’s up to students to choose their majors carefully. “We have to rethink how we subsidize every degree to the same degree,” he said. Possible options being discussed include fully funding as before majors in STEM, healthcare, and other majors, and only fully funding majors deemed not as worthwhile for the first two years. In other words, a computer science major would be fully funded, and a 16th Century Literature major only for the first two years. Part of my guides and booklets for each of my student’s and their families includes a guide to multiple websites where everyone can get an idea of the average net cost, normal graduation rate after 4 - 6 years, average starting salary after graduation, normal average income multiple years after graduation, and average college debt for most colleges and universities today. As a former Dean of a Graduate School of Business, I can attest that colleges and universities are a business … just with different names for things such as “profit” being “surplus”. The ultimate key to education is positive cash flow for the colleges and universities.

All of my students and parents are well-aware that higher education is an investment, and needs to be evaluated in many ways including short and long term financial. This is always part of the first half hour of our first class as we get to know each other, and we discuss how the classes are designed to help my students and their families have their best possible futures … including doing their best on these exams. This is also why my Negotiating with Colleges and Universities Guide is so popular with my families. Not only is it often a surprise that you can negotiate, my families have saved from $1,000 to $10,000 a year in college costs by knowing many ways to nicely, effectively help negotiate the best educational deals. As we all move into spring, many SENIORS are working on bringing up their exam scores up to qualify for the 75% or the 100% Bright Futures Scholarship (about $25,000). We have until the last SAT Exam on Saturday, June 4th, to qualify with the SAT, and until the last ACT Exam on Saturday, June 11th, to qualify with the ACT. At this point, it is not unusual to do a “Skill Strengthening” class to improve either the Writing and Language / Reading combined score or the Math score on the SAT, or either the English and Reading combined score or the Math and Science combined score on the ACT. These focused classes are about half the hours of a full prep class. Sometimes, when we are aiming for more improvement, we do the full prep classes. My JUNIORS and some SOPHOMORES are usually focused on getting ahead with preparing for the SAT and/or ACT and either work over the spring, or get set to prepare starting right after school finishes for the ACT in mid-July and/or the SAT the last Saturday in August.

For students wanting to do a combination class of ACT and SAT, we can finish either the week just before school resumes in August (with a complementary, additional review class the week before the SAT), or the week before the actual SAT Exam. During the summer, we easily schedule around family vacations, summer jobs, athletic commitments, and “surprises” as they may arise. If You Would Like To Talk More About Your Student … Please contact me at 727-253-0639 or send me an email at wwa0811@mykolab.com. Dr. Wayne Adams is one of the leading SAT and ACT tutors in the country. His students normally improve 200+ points on the Writing, Reading, Writing and Essay, and Math, and 4 – 7 points on the ACT composite. They have been admitted to 8 of the top 10 universities in the country, 18 of the top 25, and many schools in Florida. These schools include Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, U Chicago, Duke, U Penn, Johns Hopkins, Cornell, Notre Dame, Emory, UC Berkley, UCLA, USC, UNC (Chapel Hill), NYU, Northeastern (Boston), Boston College, Georgia Tech, Naval - Air Force - Merchant Marine Service Academies, Penn State, LSU, Auburn, UF, U Miami, FSU, USF, UCF, Florida Atlantic, Florida Gulf Coast, FIU, New College of Florida, Stetson, and Julliard – Manhattan New England - and Berkley Conservatories of Music. Many have received academic, athletic, or music scholarships. This year, he also tutored three juniors who scored at the national merit finalist/semi-finalist levels on the most recent PSAT. He is a former Dean of a Graduate School of Business and Full Professor, and began college teaching at the University of Maryland in 1968. He has degrees and advanced studies at Harvard, Yale, Vanderbilt, Columbia International, and Luther Rice.

Tech Talk with Bob: A Gift Card Scam! My friend Bea had an experience that really rattled her nerves. She received an email from “Amazon” telling her that her account was charged $3,000.00 for a television. After confirming with Tony, her husband, that he didn’t buy it, they concluded it must be a mistake. Tony immediately called the customer service phone number that was included in the email. Once he finally got through to “customer service” he received yet more discouraging news. Bea and Tony’s Amazon account had been hacked according to the “representative.” Needless to say, they were both astounded. Fortunately, the “representative” was able to offer them a quick solution. For $500.00 the “rep” could repair the “hacked account” and expunge the charges for the $3,000.00 television. Tony wasn’t thrilled with the solution but reluctantly agreed to the “rep’s” terms. Tony reached for his American Express card to pay. As Tony read off his Amex number the “rep” immediately stopped the transaction and told Tony that their credit card processing system had just gone down, again. The “rep” explained to Tony that they were having problems with the system all day. Tony asked if the “rep” would call him when the system came back up. The “rep” agreed but warned that if Tony delayed, that $3,000.00

TV might ship before the order could be cancelled; and then Tony would also have to pay the shipping to return the TV. In order to expedite the cancellation, the “rep” suggested Tony pay with a $500.00 gift card. The “rep” explained that they process gift cards on a different system than credit cards, so that even though their credit card system was currently down, they could still process the payment by having Tony read off the numbers on a gift card. Tony sent Bea out to pick up a $500.00 gift card. While waiting for Bea to return, Tony asked the “rep” how something like this could happen and why he had to pay so much? The “rep” explained that it was not Amazon who was hacked, but it was Tony’s IP address that had been hacked which led to Tony’s Amazon account being hacked. Therefore, the financial responsibility fell on Tony, according to the “rep.” Tony was determined to get to the bottom of this nightmarish mess. Finally, Tony called me and filled me in on what was going on. I cringed as he revealed the events that transpired. I immediately explained to Tony that he was in the process of being scammed. Tony and Bea came within inches of giving away a sizeable pile of money to cyber criminals. Fortunately, they did not give the gift card code to the scammers. Can you tell me what Tony

should have done differently? He assumed that the Amazon customer service phone number that was listed in the email was legit. The cyber criminals were so good that Tony believed he was actually speaking with Amazon when he called. But he wasn’t. What Tony needed to do was look up Amazon’s phone number instead of relying on the contents of this bogus email. Had he actually called Amazon Tony would have found out that Amazon had nothing to do with this and that Tony, Bea and Amazon were all unsuspecting players in this deception. I cannot tell you how happy I am that Tony contacted me before he and Bea handed over the 500 bucks to these criminals. There are a lot of scams like this circulating. If you ever receive a suspicious email like this, call the company directly. Be sure to look up the phone number on your own and not rely on any phone numbers given in the email. Companies like Amazon want to know about these scams. So, report any emails claiming you owe money. By the way, Bea and Tony were just one

of many folks caught up in a cyber scam claiming to be Amazon. If you get any emails from Amazon and want to verify them, Amazon’s “real” customer service number is 1-888-280-4331. Please stay on guard and stay safe. Never forget, cyber criminals will exploit the easy victims and unprotected systems. Whether you are a business or non-profit who keeps records about clients, customers, prospects, employees, vendors, sales, budgets, inventories… you get the idea. It is your responsibility to protect your personal network, your computer’s operation, and your data. Even a home user who may only keep records about club members, kids’ sports leagues, volunteer work, filing your income taxes, or just ordering a pizza using your credit card on your home computer is a target. Are you certain your computer is safe? You don’t have to do this alone my Friend. My staff and I are here to keep your computer safer and keep it running. We have the best solutions already in place and we’re only a phone call away. Call us anytime at 727-5344000. We’ve been helping folks restore their peace of mind, and sanity, with their technology for decades. We Keep You Safer In Your Digital World!

Jeremy G. and his wife were ready to re-tile their entire bathroom before calling BJ at Grout Tech. “Our bathroom tile was over 40 years old it was looking grungy and very dull.

arriving in a timely manner, BJ says that they can keep their prices low because they are a family owned business and not a franchise. She explains, “What many people don’t understand is that franchises are often forced to charge more for their services because they have to maintain their franchise fees, but not with Grout Tech.” Not only does Grout Tech keep its rates competitive, but the company will also honor any other quote as long as it is in writing. Because grout is a porous material, trying to remove stains is seemingly impossible. BJ explains, “Color sealing grout lines is one of the many services we offer and

it is definitely the most effective way to create a perfect, new look.” Using a step-bystep process, Grout Tech begins by using a cleansing product to remove all bacteria and surface dirt with special machinery. They will then apply a color seal (of your choice). Once the sealer is applied the grout lines will be permanently protected from any stains. The color seal also guarantees against cracking, chipping and peeling. Additionally, they will also cosmetically fix or replace chipped or cracked tiles, making your bathroom or kitchen tile like new again. Kathy G., a satisfied customer, shares her

Each class is designed to be a complete workout, which includes a warm up and cool down plus explanations of each movement along the way. Get a Dose of Motivation If you’re one of those people who hates working out, then you’re going to need one that delivers extra motivation, which is exactly what group fitness classes do! The instructor’s positive attitude, along with the contagious energy of your classmates, will help raise your motivation. Building Relationships and Community One of the best benefits of group fitness classes is the support, sense of community and friendships you’ll build. fitness A study from the University of Southern California found that subjects who worked out with friends enjoyed working out more compared to working out alone. Added Accountability Once your group fitness instructor and classmates get used to your presence, they’ll start asking questions when you miss a class or two.

Your instructors don’t want to do the same workout any more than you do! They’ll throw in new moves and combinations with each class. You can also take different classes throughout the week, which will provide the added bonus of never allowing your body to adapt to a single exercise modality. Fitness and Fun Rolled into One Upbeat music? Check. Supportive and friendly instructor? Check. Working out in a group is just more fun.
