New Medicare Cards

Leave a reply

Next week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be automatically mailing new Medicare cards to more than 3.5 million people with Medicare in New York State.

People with Medicare in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont will also be receiving their new card. People with Medicare in these states and New York, should receive their new card by the end of August and can begin using it right away.

Key features of the new card and rollout process:

Social Security Numbers have been replaced with new unique identifying numbers.
Social Security numbers are no longer on the new Medicare, helping protect people with Medicare from identity theft and CMS fight fraud.
The new Medicare card is free. Avoid scammers by knowing that CMS will not call people with Medicare asking for any personal information, your Social Security Number, bank information, or to pay for the new Medicare card.
People with Medicare can sign up for email notifications on when the new cards will be mailed to their area by going towww.medicare.gov/newcard.
There are no changes to Medicare benefits. Once you receive your New Medicare card, you should destroy your old Medicare card by shredding or cutting it up with scissors.

You can also access new Medicare card fact sheets, graphics, b-roll, images and other resources here.

MagnaReady × Stylish Options × Disabilities

Leave a reply

There are over 50 million adults in the United States with a disability or health condition that limits their mobility in some way.

As we age tasks that used to be simple that we could complete without thinking twice about it become more challenging. Just turn on late night or early morning television and you will see dozens of informercials for gadgets that make it easier to hear, read, open jars, you get the idea. Until recently though, no one had come up with a practical way to make it easier for arthritic hands, someone who is missing an arm or fingers, or someone with another type of limitation to their mobility to grip and maneuver buttons into buttonholes.

There are those loop gadgets you can use to snag the button and pull it through a buttonhole, but those are not necessarily a time-saver and can still be very hard for some people to use. Unfortunately, it took a diagnosis or Parkinson’s disease to create an alternative option. Maura Horton created her patented magnetic closures for clothing after her husband, who was a college football coach, started to struggle with the buttons on his dress shirts. Because his job required him to travel with the team, Maura could not always be there to help Don. Instead of buttons, she thought why not magnets that would essentially be able to button his shirt for him?

It took some time to research and find the right type of magnets and perfect the design, but eventually Maura was able to create a dress shirt that looked no different to the unknowing eye, but that could restore independence to someone with upper body mobility challenges. Now, the patented MagnaReady magnetic closure technology is used in pants, polos, long sleeve dress shirts and short sleeve camp shirts, creating clothing options that are an intelligent and stylish choice for seniors or people with mobility difficulties of any age.

Episode breakdown includes:

• Segment 1: Ball-timore, where to hoop and how they ball

• Segment 2: Camera Ready, style on and off the court

Rootstock Festival 2018

Leave a reply

The 2nd edition of the Rootstock Festival 2018 took place this weekend bringing together more than 1,600 festival-goers from all over Europe and the United States, in the heart of the vineyards of Château de Pommard.

From July 13 to July 15, Château de Pommard opened the doors of its domain and its magnificent gardens arranged for the occasion around two areas: one dedicated to the young talents of the label Rootstock and a main stage where succeeded Jungle, Breakbot and Keziah Jones, the three headliners of the 2018 edition.

Worried about the environment and the ecology for the production of their wines, the Carabello-Baum family, owner of the Château since 2014, also had a Pop-Up Hotel installed, consisting of nine luxury tents. Some festival-goers were able to stay in the heart of the Festival and enjoy beautiful country picnics or, like all the participants, bike rides, yoga classes, wine tastings and also the World Cup Final Game thanks to a giant screen installed in the main courtyard of the property.

Château de Pommard will host the 3rd edition of the Rootstock Festival next summer and will open a New School of Oenology in September 2018 composed of three new experiences to learn the secrets of tasting, agreements and wine selection.

Pioneer of luxury river cruising on China’s Yangtze River, Victoria Cruises is once again offering 2-for-1 pricing on its popular Three Gorges Highlights program between Chongqing and Yichang for reservations booked directly with the cruise line by August 31, 2018.

River cruisers will enjoy 2-for-1 rates starting at $680 per couple, based on double occupancy, for a private balcony Superior Stateroom. In order to qualify for the discount, travelers must book the shore excursion package which is also available at 2-for-1 pricing.

A comprehensive shore excursion package costs an additional $90 per person ($45 per person after discount) featuring three standard excursions including a guided tour of the Three Gorges Dam and tranquil sampan excursion along one of the Yangtze’s scenic tributaries. A third excursion will take passengers to Shibaozhai’s famous red pagoda or the Jade Emperor Scenic Area overlooking Shuangguishan National Forest.

For passengers interested in exploring additional treasures along the Yangtze, optional excursions-such as the “Ghost City” of Fengdu, Tribes of the Three Gorges or White Emperor City-can be purchased onboard starting at $45 per person, per optional excursion.

Guests may also opt to experience China’s engineering prowess with the introduction of the world’s largest ship elevator capable of elevating ships up to 3,000 tons along with a volume of water roughly equivalent to four Olympic-sized swimming pools. A newly introduced optional excursion allows passengers to experience the new ship lift on a specially-designed sightseeing boat on day two of upstream cruises and on day four for passengers sailing downstream.

Victoria Cruises was the first luxury passenger cruise line on to the Yangtze to incorporate the new ship elevator into its river cruise program.

Authentic cultural activities and demonstrations allow visitors to learn about acupuncture/acupressure, Tai Chi lessons and a variety of Chinese art forms, while nightly entertainment options such as traditional Chinese dance and musical performances round out the onboard experience.
