WOMEN, RETIREMENT AND THE EXTRA LONG

LIFE

Women in the U.S. can live extra long lives. These “bonus” years may be a blessing but they also have their drawbacks if the money doesn’t last. Women who plan ahead for the unexpected are best prepared and have financial flexibility for an extended life span. You owe it to yourself to take charge of your future.

2 N. Shore schools in new STEM program BY N O A H M A N S K A R

Do you know:

• How much money you will need to retire? • How long you have between now and retirement? • How comfortable you are with financial risk? MetLife can help you learn about the options and guide you on your journey in planning for your retirement. Please be our guest at a special, free seminar about women and retirement.

Country Foot Care Corner: Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Talk About Nail Fungus

Whether you realize it or not, your toenails are an important defense mechanism for your feet. The hard keratin tissue helps protect the ends of your toes from injury. However, the nails can become ingrown or infected and sustain unsightly and uncomfortable damage. The most common and problematic condition that affects your toenails is a fungal infection caused by microscopic fungi. The organism that causes the problem exists on its own in nature, breeding rapidly in warm, damp places. Fungus breaks down the nail tissue, creating thickened, brittle, and discolored nails. They may smell somewhat foul, crack or separate from the nail bed as well. Patients with a weakened immune system response, as with diabetes, are particularly at risk. There are many ways to treat nail fungus such as topical medications, oral medications and laser therapy. Each treatment has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage with topical nail treatment is that it has no major side effects associated with it. However, because your nails grow from inside of the skin, topical medications

do not effectively reach the damaged nail growth center. The best topical nail product on the market only works about 18% of the time as a stand-alone treatment. Oral antifungal medications work about 50% of the time. The problem with the oral treatment is the growing list of side effects associated with these medications such as permanent liver damage, eye problems and loss of taste. Blood work is also necessary throughout this course of treatment because of the potential risk to your liver. Laser treatment uses light to kill fungus without damaging your nails or the skin around them. The treatment consists of three separate laser treatments four months apart. You can start treatment on your first visit, the second treatment will be on your four month visit and the final treatment will be at the eight month visit. Country Foot Care has been achieving a success rate of 90% with use of the laser, which includes nails that are completely clear, or dramatically improved. Using topical medications in conjunction with the laser further enhances your results.

If you suffer with toenail fungus, call the doctors at Country Foot Care at (516) 741-FEET to discuss which treatment option is best for you.

IN KNOWLEDGE THERE IS OPPORTUNITY

Court reporters create word-for-word transcriptions at trials, depositions, administrative hearings, and other legal proceedings. Some court reporters provide captioning for television and real-time translation for deaf or hard-of-hearing people at public events, at business meetings, and in classrooms. Communication Access Real-Time Translation providers or CART providers, are court reporters who work primarily with deaf or hard-of-hearing people in a variety of settings turning speech into text so that the deaf or hard of hearing can interact with the world around them. For example, CART providers who use a stenography machine may caption high school and college classes and provide an immediate transcript to students who are hard-of-hearing or learning English as a second language. Computer-aided transcription, or “CAT,” is technology that utilizes highly specialized software to interpret the strokes made by a court reporter on a stenography machine. As the court reporter presses applicable keyboard combinations, the software immediately translates the machine shorthand into English. Realtime writing refers to computer-aided transcription which is performed by court reporters and can be instantly read on a monitor. Growth of the elderly population also will increase the demand for court reporters who are Communication Access Real-Time Translation (CART) providers or who can accompany their clients to doctor’s appointments, town hall meetings, and religious services. In addition, theaters and sports stadiums will provide closed captioning for deaf or hard-of-hearing customers.

They learn to resolve conflicts peacefully, through purposeful listening and engagement in the process of reaching solutions that are agreeable to all involved. Students explore and embrace cultural, religious, personal and economic diversity through studies of their local and global communities, and through the daily interactions with peers who are both similar and different from one another. Through active service learning experiences in their own communities and around the globe, students develop a sense of responsibility as stewards of the earth, and caring citizens of the world. The classrooms of WFS are filled with wonder, curiosity and joy.
