Prepare Today with ReadyWise for the 2022 Hurricane Season

ReadyWise, Inc.

With the 2022 hurricane season underway, ReadyWise, the leader in Emergency Food Supplies, is here to help families prepare ahead of time. According to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, we will see another unusually active hurricane season in 2022 with an estimated six major hurricanes. As we have seen from history, storms can be detrimental to communities. When government resources are strained, it can be days-if, not weeks-before fresh food is available. If you are in a hurricane-prone region, know the risks in your area and secure backup food, water, power, and a bug-out bag. ReadyWise is here to alleviate some stress with their Hurricane Essentials Sale. "I recommend putting together a hurricane basics kit with food, water, a light source, a phone charger, and a first aid kit," says John Dawson, Meteorologist at Fox 26 Houston. "ReadyWise partners with organizations like the American Red Cross and has created hurricane-specific products geared towards emergency preparedness with a long shelf life." If you want to learn more about what products are best suited for hurricane preparedness, follow John Dawson on Fox 26 to check out reviews on hurricane-tested gear. ReadyWise has created a collection page of hurricane essentials with meal solutions and bug-out bags. They offer limited-time deals while supplies last, like their buy three, get one FREE deal on their 2022 Limited Edition Hurricane Kit Family Bundle. Each kit includes three days' worth of food and drink with 12 servings of lunch/dinner, 8 servings of breakfast entrees, and 12 servings of milk with up to a 25-year shelf life. They have also created ready-to-go bug-out bags with their buy three, get one FREE Survival Backpack Bundle. These are perfect for any evacuation scenario and include 32 total servings of food, 5 water pouches, first aid and hygiene kit, and additional supplies like a portable stove, flashlight, waterproof matches, a mylar blanket, and more. Over the last couple of years, we have seen the tole that panic buying takes on communities, so don’t wait until a warning is issued and the stores are empty and closed. There are great ways to stay up to date, like listening to local weather alerts and using the NOAA Hurricane Tracker tool. This tracker shows active storms in real-time in the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific regions, monitored via satellites. They also offer informational tips to prepare for a hurricane, including creating a family emergency plan, having an evacuation plan, and steps to strengthen your home. "Hurricanes are among nature's most powerful and destructive phenomena," states the NOAA. "By knowing what actions to take before the hurricane season begins, when a hurricane approaches, and when the storm is in your area and what to do after a hurricane leaves your area, you can increase your chance of survival." FloridaDisaster.org has created an online disaster supply checklist that you can download to ensure you have all the essentials covered. This includes important documents secured, pet care items, a list of phone numbers, first aid items, and special items like those for infants and family members with disabilities. For food, they recommend non-perishable packaged foods much like ReadyWise's freeze-dried ready-to-eat meals where you just add water. ReadyWise is the only disaster-proof food company that allows you to rehydrate your meal even without power if you have water, hot or cold. They also have disaster-proof packaging featured in their Emergency Grab Bag Bundle. This buy three, get one FREE deal is a two-day meal solution.

Tips to Get Your Pool Ready and Safe for Summer

YourUpdateTV

When summer starts to heat up, there's nothing better than heading to the pool with your family and friends to cool off. However, as pool season commences- it’s crucial to keep water safety top of mind. Recently, retired four-time Olympic medalist, Cullen Jones, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the importance of swimming safety and share general swimming safety tips and tricks. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/FqP8IywG6IE With temperatures rising across the country, now is the time to discuss pool safety and readiness, ensuring your pool and yard are prepared for the summer months ahead – so you can spend your summer ENJOYING your pool instead of worrying about MAINTAING it. Leslie’s has teamed up with the Aquatic Safety Research Group to share important tips on how to keep kids safe while they learn to swim. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends swimming lessons for all children starting at age 1, and it’s important to practice skills year-round. Here are 5 Water Safety Tips for Kids: 1. Start early and practice often. Children can begin learning to swim as early as age 1 to adjust to the water and learn safe boundaries. Learning how to swim can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% among children 1–4 years old, according to the National Institutes of Health. It’s important to keep active throughout their formative years. 2. Be patient and reassuring. New experiences can be frightening for any child. It’s normal for little ones to cry the first time they are in the water. Don’t force them, and always make sure they aren’t hungry or tired when it's time to practice. 3. Keep learning separate from play time. Have designated times for swim practice apart from regular pool recreation. Make it fun and reinforce new skills during water play, keeping practice to 15–20 minutes to better engage kids. 4. Practice the basics. Proper breathing, kicking, and strokes are all key elements of swimming. Practice them in shallow water, at the edge of the pool, or with specially approved learn-to-swim aids. The initial focus should always be on breathing and becoming comfortable in the water. 5. The right tools can make a difference. It's important to have certified learn-to-swim equipment and swim trainers to help swimmers learn to be safe in the water and feel confident while learning to swim. But remember that swim aids are never a substitute for adult supervision and formal lessons. Leslie's is proud to support the water safety efforts by partnering with the YMCA of the USA and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Leslie’s will be accepting customer donations in stores from May 5th through October 31st. Or donate online to support water safety efforts in our communities. 100% of all donation funds will be split equally to benefit efforts by the YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, partner organizations that both share Leslie's passion for water safety.

At the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Jones swam on the legendary world-record setting 4x100 freestyle relay team. In 2012, Jones won gold as Team USA’s anchor in the 4x100 medley relay, silver in the 4x100 freestyle relay and individual silver in the 50m freestyle. In total Cullen accounts for 13 U.S. medals (seven gold) at major international competitions. Jones married his wife, Rupi, in 2007 and she gave birth to their son, Ayvn, in 2019.

New Survey Shows the Next Generation Embraces Remote Work for College to Career Transition

Velocity Global

Seven out of ten U.S. college-aged adults are likely to consider an entirely remote job One out of four never expect to hold a traditional 9-to-5 office job, and 85% see themselves holding a side gig Nine out of ten express anxiety about entering the workforce A survey released today by Velocity Global, the leading provider of global talent solutions, shows that U.S. college-aged adults embrace remote work in their career transition plans. The College to Career Survey examined 1,000 college-aged respondents’ attitudes on remote work and their work-life balance expectations as they prepare to transition into the workforce. “The next generation wants to work remotely, balance their ‘personal’ and ‘work’ lives, and prioritize flexibility and mental well-being. Companies should take notice: The old way of doing business is over,” said Sarah Fern, chief people officer at Velocity Global. “Put simply, students want the flexibility to work with anyone, anywhere, anytime, and they expect employers to meet them where they are.” Key findings on remote work: 69% of respondents are somewhat or extremely likely to consider a job that is entirely remote 80% of students would consider taking less money for their job if it allowed a remote option The majority (57%) say being remote increases their productivity Nine out of ten respondents report work-life balance as being either the most important factor (53%) or a somewhat important factor (37%) in selecting a career Fewer than 1 in 5 (18%) say they prefer to work from an office five days per week Fewer than half (44%) of respondents plan to have a traditional (Monday-Friday, 9-to-5) in-person job, and 1 out of 4 (23%) never expect to hold a traditional office job Impacts on emotional well-being: The survey also found a large impact on the emotional well-being of respondents as a result of the move to remote work and learning over the last several years. 56% of respondents acknowledged remote work/study negatively impacted their mental health “a lot” (14%) or “somewhat” (42%) 86% reported a high level of stress or anxiety about entering the workforce, including 35% who indicated they are “very” anxious about entering the workforce, and an additional 51% said they are “somewhat” anxious about doing so Participation in the gig economy: An overwhelming majority of students intend to supplement their primary job with a side gig. 85% of respondents said they either definitely (27%) or possibly (58%) expect to have a side gig in addition to their primary job “That number is staggering, and the C-suite needs to harness the possibilities of tomorrow’s workforce who have varied interests, skills, and allegiances,” said Fern. “Talent is telling us how they will succeed, and it includes full-time, part-time, contract, and freelance work - and sometimes a combination of these. It is entirely possible for you to get the best from your talent while they also pursue other interests. It works for both of you.” International results: The survey also gathered input from 500 students and recent graduates in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and 500 in Brazil, with very similar results. 72% in the U.K. said they would consider an entirely remote position, and a staggering 85% in Brazil say the same 84% of respondents in the U.K. and 82% in Brazil said they would be willing to consider a position that paid less money if it offered the flexibility to work from anywhere “These trends with college students and recent graduates in the U.S. are mirrored in other parts of the world, highlighting the accessibility of a global workforce. In the U.K. and Brazil — where Velocity Global clients increasingly seek supported talent — work flexibility is seen as one of the most compelling factors considered when entering the job market,” said Fern. Methodology: This survey was conducted on behalf of Velocity Global by Rep Data. All selected samples were subjected to stringent quality control standards, including technological controls such as automatic geographical IP detection, tracking and deduplication, open-end pre-screening, and re-captchas. Rep Data sourced multiple suppliers to ensure a representative sample, each supplier possessing its own unique recruitment model and incentive structure, which increased sample source diversity and quality.

As medical records continue to shift to the cloud, it has become increasingly important for the pharmacy industry to have fast, reliable and secure network connections capable of quickly pulling and sending patient information. “I am very happy with the quality of service we’ve received,” said Timothy Tam, IT specialist for Oakland Pharmacy Inc. “Now our employees can more rapidly adjudicate claims, e-fax and process new prescriptions without worrying about slow network speeds.” In addition to the fast and reliable EDI connections, SD-WAN on the ActiveCore SM SDN Platform helps to configure the business’ network, as well as proactively monitor for, and troubleshoot, connectivity issues across Oakland Pharmacy Inc.’s various locations. Meanwhile, the company’s 4G LTE backup connection is helping to build network redundancy while its Business VoiceEdge® solution is providing great call quality plus a web portal to help manage calls and voicemails. “Our local pharmacies are truly the bastions of our communities. They keep us healthy, whether it’s providing vaccines, medications or other consultation on healthcare best practices,” said Kristeen Cominiello, vice president of Comcast Business in California. “Comcast Business recognizes that connectivity is the key to ensuring that these services continue to reach community members in need, and is proud to offer its support to Oakland Pharmacy Inc.” About Comcast Business Comcast Business offers a suite of Connectivity, Communications, Networking, Cybersecurity, Wireless, and Managed Solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next.
