Free CPR/AED training Fri., March 4

February 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department Medics will be providing a 2-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life on Fri., March 4, 2016 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. in Rm 3002.

Consider these facts:

    • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
    • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only 5-7% survival.
    • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately
    • 75% of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

AEDs in the workplace save lives. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased 8 new AED machines, for a total of 12. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2016 – 9:30am-11:30am, Rm 3002
The course, free to SCC employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Classroom size is limited, and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing. If a class is full, you will be placed on a wait list for a cancellation or coming class.

To register call or email Darlene Carlson or Robin Blacksmith in Safety & Security:

Darlene – 206-546-4633; Dcarlson@shoreline.edu
Robin –   206-546-4503; Rblacksmith@shoreline.edu

SCC Art Gallery Artist’s Reception with Andrew Fallat, Art Gallery (1000 bldg.)
Thurs., Feb. 25: 5-7:30 p.m.
andrew fallat poster
Join us for an artist’s reception with Andrew Fallat to celebrate his solo show: “The Banal in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.” The show is housed in the Admin bldg (1000) art gallery now through March 4.

The reception celebration will include collaboration with English and Writing students from Shoreline Community College, who will share writing inspired by Fallat’s work at the reception.

About the show:
Through the exploration of kinetic systems and phenomena, Andy Fallat’s work focuses on the condensation of a narrative into an three dimensional object. Building machines and sculptures that are slightly above human scale, he calls attention to our place within a system. Fallat creates creatures and interactive situations with industrial and classically sculptural processes that question our relationships to them and each other.

The work presented in this exhibit is a series of sculptures and low reliefs. They are machines that imitate life. The hope, fear, and complexity that Fallat finds on walks around his neighborhood. It is a shrub as potent as its cousin the mighty spruce. They are lines that become form and patterns that mute shape. It is what happens when two things point to the same mark.

Intramural Personal Training, Athletics bldg., room 3007
Thurs., Feb. 25: 6-6:50 p.m.
Come get free, hands-on training to help you reach your fitness goals.

Don’t know what Community Read is? Read on:
Each year a new book is selected for our Community Book Read. Together we share our impressions and ideas. Weekly analyses of the text are led by a variety of college volunteers, bringing with them their unique backgrounds, expertise and perspectives. This keeps the discussion fresh, lively and relevant.

This year’s book is Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements. Octavia’s Brood is a collection of social justice-themed science fiction stories that feature things like time travel, shape shifting, dystopian worlds, re-imaginings of “model minorities” and the possibilities of using visionary fiction to develop new ideas of future worlds. The works are inspired by the writings of Octavia Butler, an award-winning science fiction writer (Kindred, Parable of the Sower, and Lilith’s Brood) who lived in Lake Forest Park before her death in 2006.

• Full-blown eating disorders typically begin between 18 and 21 years of age (Hudson, 2007).

• 35 percent of “normal” dieters progress to pathological dieting. Of those, 20-25 percent progress to partial or full-syndrome eating disorders (Shisslak & Crago, 1995).
