For the past year and a half I have had severe pain from tendonitis in my left shoulder. I have gone through 5 months of physical thearapy and nothing changed. The pain weakned a little. However, after completing an Army fitness test, I made it even worse. The pain grew and sleeping at night was hard.
SInce I have been home, I saw an orthopedic doctor. This doctor recommended the shot. There is some circumstance where physical therapy cannot fix everything. I asked my doctor multiple questions about what the shot does; it is suppose to relieve all pain and get rid of the tendonitis over a weeks time. My only worry about this shot was if it would damage anything in my shoulder. My doctor told me that they have personally done tests on this topic and everything has come back good. Ever since I recieved this shot 4 days ago my shoulder has been good. There has been no more pain and I have retained my full range of motion again. Cortisone shots can be used all over the body and at some point you should talk to your doctor if you have pain that is not going away.

After a long 13 hours in the car and switching off driving with my dad, I finally made it home. The only down side about going to MSU is driving out for the first day of school and driving back on the last. My dad and I left around 8am and did not get back till around 10pm. However, since we were driving through New York during dinner time, we stopped at my cousins house and ate dinner with them.
My first year of college flew by. However, I wish it could have gone better. I struggled early with my classes and grades. I hope that the 4 months of summer vacation will allow me to relax and prepare me for a better second year at MSU. This is a topic that has interested me for a long time. Back in 2016, I went to London for spring break with a couple of my friends. In London we saw the changing of the guards, and the guards standing outside Buckingham Palace. Other than that I do not know what else they did until I watched this video. England also has their own army that does not consist of the Queens guards. What is the use of the Queens guards then? When the Queen travels she is covered by a special group who is trained in protecting her; these same guards also protect her at home. After watching this video, the Queens guards do what I expected. They walk around the palace or stand at the gate just making sure no one gets in that should not be there.
After watching this video, becoming a US Army Sniper is definitely one of the hardest jobs to receive and obtain. Every week you go through a different pass or fail class and this determines wheather or not you can continue throughout the course.
This video made me realize how hard it is to become a US Army Sniper and a career in this field is probably not the best suited for me. Those who graduate and become snipers are something special and have a mind set like no one else. As a kid growing up being a sniper in the army always seemed to interest me. However, after all those challenenging tests that I would most likely fail; finding a different job in the army would be the best idea for me. If you want to be one of the most influential leaders in your industry, it makes good sense to study the trajectory and lessons of those who have come before you and paved the way. Few men have been as successful as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos. Each has left a clear mark on the world we live in while also amassing incredible amounts of wealth and global influence. If you want to be one of the best, you need to acknowledge and learn from those who have come before you.
We never want to count on the kindness of strangers in order to meet tomorrow’s obligations. When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night’s sleep for the chance of extra profits. – Warren Buffett Never bite off more then you can chew. Sure you might need to take big risks to capture even bigger rewards but you just as likely might end up penniless and broke. Calculate your risks, diversify your portfolio but always keep plenty of cash on hand and run your business with your capital and not anyone else’s. Source: Jason Stone; Millionaire Mentor
The world's happiest country report released by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations has relesed a recent report that states Finland is the happiest country in the world and the United States has dropped down to 19th. "The top 10 countries tend to rank high in all six variables, as well as emotional measures of well-being," says report co-editor John Helliwell. The report ranks countries on six key variables that support well-being: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, social support and generosity. Finland was not only happy, but they also had the happiest immigrants in the world.
For the United States, a country where they preach land of the free and home of the brave; The United States ranks 61st in freedom and 42nd place for corruption in the world. Politics in the United States preach how the U.S. is the best country in the world. However, the statistics to prove this show other wise. These ranking really do make you think. What could the United States truly become if we were ranked in the top 10 of happiness? What would it be like to live in an environment like that? Is it possible for the United States to achieve such a goal? Right now I am a student at Michigan State University with a major in Actuarial Science. I plan to get a bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science and minor in data science. By the time I graduate college I want to have three out of the ten total actuarial exams passed. Within a couple years after I plan to pass all of the exams to get my full certification. Due to actuaries being the highest ranking people in insurance companies and with a minor in data science, I hope to become Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or a Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). I want to continue to learn all of the time, and with the challenge of being an actuary I hope it will help me accomplish my future goals, and what I am looking for within my profession.
Last year Aetna closed a deal with CVS worth $70 billion. This deal landed the Aetna CEO with $500 million in cash and stocks. This deal is huge for Aetna as it is going to help them take over the insurance world. CVS is the largest pharmacy company in the United States. The deal of this is to help improve coverage of healthcare. Aetna will also give each one of their stock holders, 0.8 in CVS stock.
With Hartford, CT already being the insurance capital of the world, and Aetna hq being located there; Aetna will complete this deal proving that they are above all of the other insurance companies in the United States. This is all important to me because my internship next year as an actuary will be at Aetna. Once I graduate college I plan on working at Aetna. Actuaries are some of the highest ranked people in an insurance company and I plan to keep progressing and getting as high up as a job possible over the years. Over the next couple years I hope Aetna keeps progressing. They are not the top insurance company in the world. However, with more deals like this they soon will be able to be. Nobody knows when season 4 of Rick and Morty will come. However, according to multiple reports it will have a release time late 2019. The last episode of season 3 of Rick and Morty aired in October of 2017; it has been a long wait for Rick and Morty fans. Rick and Morty is something else. It is funny and brings out the different possibilities of science. This imaginary galaxy has billions of possible lives. It is defiantly a show everyone should see.
9/10 The World Health Organisation (WHO) says air pollution causes the death of seven million people a year and accounts for a third of fatalities from stroke, lung cancer and heart disease, with more than 90% of children breathing toxic air every day. The best that scientists are doing right now; they created a sensor system to alert them when the polition in the air is dangerously toxic.
It is scary to think that how poluted the air is in many places around the world, it kill you. With being able to breath the human body would shut down and die. Humans have to breath the air around us to survive. Everyone needs to take this whole issue more seriously. Officials, politics, and scientists need to figure out what the human poplulation can do to cut down on polutuion. I remeber when I went to California for vaction during the summer of 2018; when we were up near the Hollywood sign, you could physically see the smog that covered the entire LA skyline. Even when landing at the aiport; while coming down in the plane you could distinctively see the difference between a clear sky and the layer of polution that sits over the city |
