Ketamine addiction is a serious issue; it causes binge abuse, tolerance, and dependence, just like many other drugs of abuse. In addition, the Center for Substance Abuse Research states, "Larger doses of ketamine may produce what users refer to as a K-hole," an out-of-body, near-death experience that, unfortunately, most users are attempting to experience when taking the drug. This often occurs on the brink of overdose, so addiction to ketamine is a very dangerous problem that should be treated accordingly.
Depression is a common sign of ketamine addiction.
Below are the common signs of ketamine abuse and addiction. If your wife consistently displays issues like those below, she is likely addicted to the drug and its effects.
This is one of ketamine's more dangerous side effects, and noticing it consistently means your wife abuses the drug often. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, binge use of the substance is common, and this can quickly lead to addiction in the same way it does with stimulants.
This is a similar issue to hallucinogenic drugs, which cause unpredictable vivid hallucinations of the effects experienced when abusing a substance. Sometimes, flashbacks can create severe anxiety in those who are always afraid of experiencing them again.
Does My Wife Need Treatment?
If your wife is often showing signs of these issues, it is likely that she is abusing ketamine consistently and in a binge-crash pattern. This is one of the most dangerous ways to abuse an addictive drug like ketamine, and it is likely that your loved one has become addicted. Without proper treatment it will be very difficult for her to quit.
According to the NIDA, the consistent use of dangerous drugs often changes one's brain chemistry to the point where they cannot stop using the substance even if they want to.
This is why treatment is required for addicted individuals; without a proper rehabilitation program that provides them with medication options to reverse these changes and teaches them the skills they need to put an end to their substance abuse, relapse is much more common, and recovery becomes more and more unlikely.
If your wife is abusing ketamine consistently and in large amounts, it is important to seek safe, professional help in a rehab center.
Call 800-601-3889 today to find a facility that will cater to your wife's needs and help make a real change in both of your lives.

Van Dyke received a Grammy Award in 1964, along with Julie Andrews, for his performance on the soundtrack to Mary Poppins.[41] In 1970, he published Faith, Hope and Hilarity: A Child's Eye View of Religion a book of humorous anecdotes based largely on his experiences as a Sunday School teacher.[42] Van Dyke was principal in "KXIV Inc." and owned 1400 AM KXIV in Phoenix (later KSUN) from 1965 to 1985.[citation needed]
Van Dyke took a more dramatic turn in the 1990s. He starred in the popular crime drama Diagnosis Murder alongside his real-life son, Barry Van Dyke. Debuting in 1993, the series featured Van Dyke as Dr. Mark Sloan, a medical professional who helped the police solve crimes. The series ended in 2001, but Van Dyke didn't stay away from the small screen for long. He played another amateur detective in a series of TV movies, beginning with 2006's Murder 101. That same year, the actor appeared in the Ben Stiller comedy Night at the Museum.
Along that same vein, in August 2013, reports about a new health scare involving Van Dyke were circulating worldwide. According to reports, a sports car that Van Dyke was operating on L.A.'s 101 Freeway suddenly burst into flames on August 19, leaving the actor trapped inside the burning vehicle until a passing motorist who had witnessed the accident could come to his aid. Thanks to the passerby, Jason Pennington, Van Dyke left the scene of the accident unscathed—not only did the actor walk away uninjured and needing no medical treatment, he did not receive a citation for the incident, according to The Associated Press. According to some reports, Van Dyke had reported engine trouble with the vehicle the previous day, on August 18.
By this time van Gogh was ready for such lessons, and the changes that his painting underwent in Paris between the spring of 1886 and February 1888 led to the creation of his personal idiom and style of brushwork. His palette at last became colourful, his vision less traditional, and his tonalities lighter, as may be seen in his first paintings of Montmartre. By the summer of 1887 he was painting in pure colours and using broken brushwork that is at times pointillistic. Finally, by the beginning of 1888, van Gogh's Post-Impressionist style had crystallized, resulting in such masterpieces as Portrait of Père Tanguy and Self-Portrait in Front of the Easel, as well as in some landscapes of the Parisian suburbs.
Van Gogh knew that his approach to painting was individualistic, but he also knew that some tasks are beyond the power of isolated individuals to accomplish. In Paris he had hoped to form a separate Impressionist group with Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and others whom he believed had similar aims. He rented and decorated a house in Arles with the intention of persuading them to join him and found a working community called "The Studio of the South." Gauguin arrived in October 1888, and for two months van Gogh and Gauguin worked together; but, while each influenced the other to some extent, their relations rapidly deteriorated because they had opposing ideas and were temperamentally incompatible.
Van Gogh worked for Goupil in London from 1873 to May 1875 and in Paris from that date until April 1876. Daily contact with works of art aroused his artistic sensibility, and he soon formed a taste for Rembrandt, Frans Hals, and other Dutch masters, although his preference was for two contemporary French painters, Jean-François Millet and Camille Corot, whose influence was to last throughout his life. Van Gogh disliked art dealing. Moreover, his approach to life darkened when his love was rejected by a London girl in 1874. His burning desire for human affection thwarted, he became increasingly solitary. He worked as a language teacher and lay preacher in England and, in 1877, worked for a bookseller in Dordrecht, Netherlands. Impelled by a longing to serve humanity, he envisaged entering the ministry and took up theology; however, he abandoned this project in 1878 for short-term training as an evangelist in Brussels. A conflict with authority ensued when he disputed the orthodox doctrinal approach. Failing to get an appointment after three months, he left to do missionary work among the impoverished population of the Borinage, a coal-mining region in southwestern Belgium. There, in the winter of 1879–80, he experienced the first great spiritual crisis of his life. Living among the poor, he gave away all his worldly goods in an impassioned moment; he was thereupon dismissed by church authorities for a too-literal interpretation of Christian teaching.
The original version of the Vans skateboard logo was designed in Costa Mesa, California in the 1970s by Mark Van Doren at the age of 13. The son of then President and co-owner James Van Doren, Mark designed the logo as a stencil to be spray painted on his skateboards. Initially introduced for the heel tab on an early Vans' skateboard shoe, the Style 95, this original Vans skateboard logo is an important part of Vans history."[citation needed]

His understanding of the possibilities of painting was evolving rapidly; from studying Hals he learned to portray the freshness of a visual impression, while the works of Paolo Veronese and Eugène Delacroix taught him that colour can express something by itself. This led to his enthusiasm for Peter Paul Rubens and inspired his sudden departure for Antwerp, Belgium, where the greatest number of Rubens's works could be seen. The revelation of Rubens's mode of direct notation and of his ability to express a mood by a combination of colours proved decisive in the development of van Gogh's style. Simultaneously, van Gogh discovered Japanese prints and Impressionist painting. All these sources influenced him more than the academic principles taught at the Antwerp Academy, where he was enrolled. His refusal to follow the academy's dictates led to disputes, and after three months he left precipitately in 1886 to join Theo in Paris. There, still concerned with improving his drawing, van Gogh met Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin, and others who were to play historic roles in modern art. They opened his eyes to the latest developments in French painting. At the same time, Theo introduced him to Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, and other artists of the Impressionist group.
Van Gogh entered the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum on 8 May 1889, accompanied by his carer, Frédéric Salles, a Protestant clergyman. Saint-Paul was a former monastery in Saint-Rémy, located less than 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Arles, and was run by a former naval doctor, Théophile Peyron. Van Gogh had two cells with barred windows, one of which he used as a studio.[162] The clinic and its garden became the main subjects of his paintings. He made several studies of the hospital's interiors, such as Vestibule of the Asylum and Saint-Rémy (September 1889). Some of his works from this time are characterised by swirls, such as The Starry Night. He was allowed short supervised walks, during which time he painted cypresses and olive trees, including Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background 1889, Cypresses 1889, Cornfield with Cypresses (1889), Country road in Provence by Night (1890). In September 1889 he produced two further versions of Bedroom in Arles.[163]
Van Gogh, the eldest of six children of a Protestant pastor, was born and reared in a small village in the Brabant region of the southern Netherlands. He was a quiet, self-contained youth, spending his free time wandering the countryside to observe nature. At 16 he was apprenticed to The Hague branch of the art dealers Goupil and Co., of which his uncle was a partner.
Those of you who have followed this saga and supported my efforts with your countless emails will understand when I say that regardless of money, ethics, William Morris Agents and their lawyers, and anyone else who has the guts to call this project their own, I can honestly say that I am sitting here in my apartment in New York City SMILING BIG SMILES because I know in my heart (and so does EVERYONE ELSE) that this whole bloody thing...and all of your happiness....was because of something I did.
In 2017, Van Dyke released his first solo album since 1963's "Songs I Like." The album, "Step (Back) In Time," was produced by Bill Bixler (who also played sax), with arrangements by Dave Enos (who also played bass) and features noted musicians John Ferraro (Drums), Tony Guerrero (Trumpet & Vocal duet), Mark LeBrun (Piano), Charley Pollard (Trombone) and Leslie Bixler (Vocals). "Step (Back) In Time" was released by BixMix Records and showcases Van Dyke in a jazz and big band setting on classic songs from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s.
We bought a bedroom set and was very excited to get it delivered. However, when it got delivered, we realized that the salesperson failed to tell us that we needed a bunky board rather than a box spring, and the bed was 5 feet tall with the platform! (Keeping in mind I bought all the pieces of furniture from the same company). The bed was as tall as me! I called the company while the delivery guys were still here, but the salesperson said she would call me back and never did. I finally got ahold of the manager the next day, who was going to charge me another $100 for the exchange and delivery. I later found out that the bunky board was simply a piece of plywood that you can easily buy for much cheaper, and that this situation happened to people all the time; especially to elderly people.
The album "Songs I Like By Dick Van Dyke" was recorded on Friday, November 22, 1963. Early in the recording session, the artists and orchestra were informed of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. In spite of the tragic news, and a deadline from Command Records that had to be met, the recording session continued to a successful conclusion - albeit in an emotionally-charged atmosphere. He said that he scarcely remembers the session because he was in such a state of shock after hearing the news.
The adult Broadway cast (Dick, Paul Lynde, Maureen Stapleton) who recreated their roles for the film version of Bye Bye Birdie (1963) were generally disappointed in the film. It was felt that director George Sidney placed far too much focus on Ann-Margret's teen role, a role that was secondary in the stage hit. Ann-Margret was at the time experiencing a meteoric rise in films.

Van Gogh stayed within what he called the "guise of reality",[218] and was critical of overly stylised works.[219] He wrote afterwards that the abstraction of Starry Night had gone too far and that reality had "receded too far in the background".[219] Hughes describes it as a moment of extreme visionary ecstasy: the stars are in a great whirl, reminiscent of Hokusai's Great Wave, the movement in the heaven above is reflected by the movement of the cypress on the earth below, and the painter's vision is "translated into a thick, emphatic plasma of paint".[220]
Join us as The GRAMMY Museum welcomes television, Broadway and film star Dick Van Dyke, along with his lively, talented a cappella group, The Vantastix. Not long after a chance meeting in a Malibu coffee shop in 2000, Dick Van Dyke teamed up with vocalists Eric Bradley, Bryan Chadima and Mike Mendyke to form Dick Van Dyke & The Vantastix. Hosted by Executive Director, Robert Santelli, hear Dick in conversation about his career, before the group, who continues to participate in benefits and children's events across the country, performs selections from their most recent release Put on a Happy Face.
Van Gogh created more than 43 self-portraits between 1885 and 1889.[230][note 13] They were usually completed in series, such as those painted in Paris in mid-1887, and continued until shortly before his death.[231] Generally the portraits were studies, created during introspective periods when he was reluctant to mix with others, or when he lacked models, and so painted himself.[223][232]
Van Gogh moved to Paris in March 1886 where he shared Theo's rue Laval apartment in Montmartre, and studied at Fernand Cormon's studio. In June the brothers took a larger flat at 54 rue Lepic.[102] In Paris, Vincent painted portraits of friends and acquaintances, still life paintings, views of Le Moulin de la Galette, scenes in Montmartre, Asnières and along the Seine. In 1885 in Antwerp he had become interested in Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, and had used them to decorate the walls of his studio; while in Paris he collected hundreds of them. He tried his hand at Japonaiserie, tracing a figure from a reproduction on the cover of the magazine Paris Illustre, The Courtesan or Oiran (1887), after Keisai Eisen, which he then graphically enlarged in a painting.[103]

Nevertheless, the twelve customers selected the colors and styles they desired, and were asked to return later in the afternoon to pick up their purchases. Paul Van Doren and Lee then rushed to the factory to manufacture the selected shoes. When the customers returned that afternoon to pick up their shoes, Paul Van Doren and Gordon C. Lee realized that they had forgotten to maintain a cash reserve to provide change to customers. The customers were therefore given the shoes and asked to return the following day with their payments. All twelve of the customers returned the following day to pay for their items.[6]
[about Mary Poppins (1964)] I thought Walt Disney hired me because I was such a great singer and dancer. As it turns out, he had heard me in an interview talking about what was happening to family entertainment. I was decrying the fact that it seemed like no holds were barred anymore in entertainment . . . That's why he called me in, because I said something he agreed with. And I got the part.
I've found a home here because actors have always said, 'He's really a dancer', and dancers said, 'No, no he's a singer', and singers said, 'No I think he's an actor.' I don't know, I was never that good at anything but I did a little bit of it all. I've never studied dancing but I've always loved to dance. I never sang anywhere except the shower and it took me forever to get into the high school choir. When I auditioned for Bye Bye Birdie (1963) I did a song and a little soft-shoe and for some reason they saw I could move. And I've never studied acting - which is maybe lucky otherwise I'd just be a copy of everybody else.
In preparation for Gauguin's visit, Van Gogh bought two beds on advice from the station's postal supervisor Joseph Roulin, whose portrait he painted. On 17 September he spent his first night in the still sparsely furnished Yellow House.[129] When Gauguin consented to work and live in Arles with him, Van Gogh started to work on the Décoration for the Yellow House, probably the most ambitious effort he ever undertook.[130] He completed two chair paintings: Van Gogh's Chair and Gauguin's Chair.[131]

Van Gogh learned about Fernand Cormon's atelier from Theo.[107] He worked at the studio in April and May 1886,[108] where he frequented the circle of the Australian artist John Peter Russell, who painted his portrait in 1886.[109] Van Gogh also met fellow students Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec – who painted a portrait of him in pastel. They met at Julien "Père" Tanguy's paint shop,[108] (which was, at that time, the only place where Paul Cézanne's paintings were displayed). In 1886, two large exhibitions were staged there, showing Pointillism and Neo-impressionism for the first time, and bringing attention to Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Theo kept a stock of Impressionist paintings in his gallery on boulevard Montmartre, but Van Gogh was slow to acknowledge the new developments in art.[110]
Van Gogh and Gauguin visited Montpellier in December 1888, where they saw works by Courbet and Delacroix in the Musée Fabre.[135] Their relationship began to deteriorate; Van Gogh admired Gauguin and wanted to be treated as his equal, but Gauguin was arrogant and domineering, which frustrated Van Gogh. They often quarrelled; Van Gogh increasingly feared that Gauguin was going to desert him, and the situation, which Van Gogh described as one of "excessive tension", rapidly headed towards crisis point.[136]
I must have had this wrong for years. When you find something on CLEARANCE I've always taken that to mean it's an item that the store is no longer going to carry, it's an older model and they are making space for newer or it's flawed in someway. These items have always been cash and carry anywhere I've ever shopped and also generally a non refundable sale which is fine. I was proven wrong on all counts today. Enter the Lansing store, was followed around by a creeper sales associate (which I hate. but just ignored him and headed strait for the department I needed. He followed). I've been looking for a particular item that I just have not been able to find. ECSTATIC that not only did I find what i was looking for but also found the color I was looking for AND BONUS it was on CLEARANCE. Creeper sales associate caught up to us and of course wanted to draw our attention to a full priced item after noticing just what we were looking for. What he showed us was not the right color and not what I wanted. Took him over to the one I wanted to get and that's where things got interesting. Not only was I told I could NOT purchase that item today but was told it would have to be ordered. And the best part of all, it would arrive SOMETIME in February!!!! What???? We looked at ordering it online while in the store and there it was. Available, also at the sale price but again would not arrive until sometime in February and to save the $99.00 to have it sent to our home we would have to return there to pick it up. How is this even classified as clearance then? Needless to say, chock up a very disappointing day. And, said creeper sales associate, bye bye commission on that lost sale. Oh, and if you are going to have a recliner in clearance that the handle is busted and won't even recline then a $249.00 price tag seems a bit excessive. This was not the one we were wanting to get it was a different one. It was reassuring(?) however when the sales associate stated they would get someone onto fixing it. Good luck to the poor customer that gets that one. A zero star rating. Sorry. (It would not let me leave zero stars selected so I guess it gets a sympathy one star.
The police found van Gogh in his room the next morning, and admitted him to the Hôtel-Dieu hospital. Theo arrived on Christmas Day to see van Gogh, who was weak from blood loss and having violent seizures. The doctors assured Theo that his brother would live and would be taken good care of, and on January 7, 1889, van Gogh was released from the hospital.
From 1961 to 1966, Van Dyke starred in the CBS sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show, in which he portrayed a comedy writer named Rob Petrie. Originally the show was supposed to have Carl Reiner as the lead but CBS insisted on recasting and Reiner chose Van Dyke to replace him in the role.[21] Complementing Van Dyke was a veteran cast of comic actors including Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam, Jerry Paris, Ann Morgan Guilbert, Richard Deacon, and Carl Reiner (as Alan Brady), as well as 23-year-old Mary Tyler Moore, who played Rob's wife Laura Petrie. Van Dyke won three Emmy Awards as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, and the series received four Emmy Awards as Outstanding Comedy Series.[23]
Van Gogh stayed there for 12 months, haunted by recurrent attacks, alternating between moods of calm and despair, and working intermittently: The Starry Night, Garden of the Asylum, Cypresses, Olive Trees, Les Alpilles, portraits of doctors, and interpretations of paintings by Rembrandt, Delacroix, and Millet date from this period. The keynote of this phase (1889–90) is fear of losing touch with reality, as well as a certain sadness. Confined for long periods to his cell or the asylum garden, having no choice of subjects, and realizing that his inspiration depended on direct observation, van Gogh fought against having to work from memory. At Saint-Rémy he muted the vivid, sun-drenched colours of the previous summer and tried to make his painting more calm. As he repressed his excitement, however, he involved himself more imaginatively in the drama of the elements, developing a style based on dynamic forms and a vigorous use of line (he often equated line with colour). The best of his Saint-Rémy pictures are thus bolder and more visionary than those of Arles.
After Van Gogh's first exhibitions in the late 1880s, his reputation grew steadily among artists, art critics, dealers and collectors.[262] In 1887 André Antoine hung Van Gogh's alongside works of Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, at the Théâtre Libre in Paris; some were acquired by Julien Tanguy.[263] In 1889 his work was described in the journal Le Moderniste Illustré by Albert Aurier as characterised by "fire, intensity, sunshine".[264] Ten paintings were shown at the Société des Artistes Indépendants, in Brussels in January 1890.[265] French president Marie François Sadi Carnot was said to have been impressed by Van Gogh's work.[266]
Late in November 1881, Van Gogh wrote a letter to Johannes Stricker, one which he described to Theo as an attack.[58] Within days he left for Amsterdam.[59] Kee would not meet him, and her parents wrote that his "persistence is disgusting".[60] In despair, he held his left hand in the flame of a lamp, with the words: "Let me see her for as long as I can keep my hand in the flame."[60][61] He did not recall the event well, but later assumed that his uncle had blown out the flame. Kee's father made it clear that her refusal should be heeded and that the two would not marry, largely because of Van Gogh's inability to support himself.[62]
Van Gogh's mother came from a prosperous family in The Hague,[19] and his father was the youngest son of a minister.[20] The two met when Anna's younger sister, Cornelia, married Theodorus's older brother Vincent (Cent). Van Gogh's parents married in May 1851 and moved to Zundert.[21] His brother Theo was born on 1 May 1857. There was another brother, Cor, and three sisters: Elisabeth, Anna, and Willemina (known as "Wil"). In later life Van Gogh remained in touch only with Willemina and Theo.[22] Van Gogh's mother was a rigid and religious woman who emphasised the importance of family to the point of claustrophobia for those around her.[23] Theodorus's salary was modest, but the Church supplied the family with a house, a maid, two cooks, a gardener, a carriage and horse, and Anna instilled in the children a duty to uphold the family's high social position.[24]
Absolutely terrible experience! We bought a sectional from here and initially the experience was good. Sasha, the salesperson was great to work with and patient. That quickly changed. The leg on the ottoman was broken so we had to get that fixed. When we went to move a few months later, we noticed the back of the couch was broken (the delivery guys put it against the wall so we had never seen it). We had it serviced and were without that piece for over a week.
You might find a nice piece of art for cheap or a mirror but the furniture isn't so great. We bought a living room set only to later find out the seat cushions are not moveable (i've never seen that before!) For the price we paid, this couldve been useful info. Do you know how hard it is to wash couch cushions that do not zip off or come off the couch structure?
Many of the comedy films Van Dyke starred in throughout the 1960s were relatively unsuccessful at the box office, including What a Way to Go! with Shirley MacLaine, Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N., Fitzwilly, The Art of Love with James Garner and Elke Sommer, Some Kind of a Nut, Never a Dull Moment with Edward G. Robinson, and Divorce American Style with Debbie Reynolds and Jean Simmons. But he also starred as Caractacus Pott (with his native accent, at his own insistence, despite the English setting) in the successful musical version of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968), which co-starred Sally Ann Howes and featured the same songwriters (The Sherman Brothers) and choreographers (Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood) as Mary Poppins.
Vincent Van Gogh's life was a short one but almost three years of it were spent in Britain. A big new exhibition at Tate Britain in London brings together 50 of his pictures - including some masterpieces - to show how life in the capital and the art scene in Britain - influenced the young artist. And how he in turn influenced British artists such as Francis Bacon.
There have been numerous debates as to the nature of Van Gogh's illness and its effect on his work, and many retrospective diagnoses have been proposed. The consensus is that Van Gogh had an episodic condition with periods of normal functioning.[195] Perry was the first to suggest bipolar disorder in 1947,[196] and this has been supported by the psychiatrists Hemphill and Blumer.[197][198] Biochemist Wilfred Arnold has countered that the symptoms are more consistent with acute intermittent porphyria, noting that the popular link between bipolar disorder and creativity might be spurious.[195] Temporal lobe epilepsy with bouts of depression has also been suggested.[198] Whatever the diagnosis, his condition was likely worsened by malnutrition, overwork, insomnia and alcohol.[198]
In April 2013, Van Dyke revealed that for seven years he had been experiencing symptoms of a neurological disorder, in which he felt a pounding in his head whenever he lay down; but despite his undergoing tests, no diagnosis had been made.[55] He had to cancel scheduled appearances due to fatigue from lack of sleep because of the medical condition.[56] In May 2013, he tweeted that it seemed his titanium dental implants may be responsible.[57]
By 1963, Van Elslander owned seven stores and had taken on some partners, including his brother, Bob Van Elslander, Don Fox and Bob McEachin.[5] The following year, three of those stores were sold off, however Van Elslander expanded the chain in the 1970s and in 1973 the company purchased its headquarters in Warren, Michigan. Around that time, the company had fifteen stores in its chain. In the late 1970s opened several warehouses and a corporate training department. In 1977 the company opened stores outside of Detroit, in Flint and Lansing, Michigan.[6]
In despair of ever being able to overcome his loneliness or be cured, van Gogh shot himself. He did not die immediately. When found wounded in his bed, he allegedly said, "I shot myself.…I only hope I haven't botched it." That evening, when interrogated by the police, van Gogh refused to answer questions, saying, "What I have done is nobody else's business. I am free to do what I like with my own body."

Van Gogh made several painting excursions during visits to the landscape around Arles. He made paintings of harvests, wheat fields and other rural landmarks of the area, including The Old Mill (1888); a good example of a picturesque structure bordering the wheat fields beyond.[116] At various points, Van Gogh painted the view from his window – at The Hague, Antwerp, and Paris. These works culminated in The Wheat Field series, which depicted the view from his cells in the asylum at Saint-Rémy.[256]
In Paris in 1901 a large Van Gogh retrospective was held at the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery, which excited André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, and contributed to the emergence of Fauvism.[269] Important group exhibitions took place with the Sonderbund artists in Cologne in 1912, the Armory Show, New York in 1913, and Berlin in 1914.[273] Henk Bremmer was instrumental in teaching and talking about Van Gogh,[274] and introduced Helene Kröller-Müller to Van Gogh's art; she became an avid collector of his work.[275] The early figures in German Expressionism such as Emil Nolde acknowledged a debt to Van Gogh's work.[276] Bremmer assisted Jacob Baart de la Faille, whose catalogue raisonné L'Oeuvre de Vincent van Gogh appeared in 1928.[277][note 15]
Van Gogh entered the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum on 8 May 1889, accompanied by his carer, Frédéric Salles, a Protestant clergyman. Saint-Paul was a former monastery in Saint-Rémy, located less than 30 kilometres (19 mi) from Arles, and was run by a former naval doctor, Théophile Peyron. Van Gogh had two cells with barred windows, one of which he used as a studio.[162] The clinic and its garden became the main subjects of his paintings. He made several studies of the hospital's interiors, such as Vestibule of the Asylum and Saint-Rémy (September 1889). Some of his works from this time are characterised by swirls, such as The Starry Night. He was allowed short supervised walks, during which time he painted cypresses and olive trees, including Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background 1889, Cypresses 1889, Cornfield with Cypresses (1889), Country road in Provence by Night (1890). In September 1889 he produced two further versions of Bedroom in Arles.[163]
In Nuenen, Van Gogh focused on painting and drawing. Working outside and very quickly, he completed sketches and paintings of weavers and their cottages.[82] From August 1884, Margot Begemann, a neighbour's daughter ten years his senior, joined him on his forays; she fell in love and he reciprocated, though less enthusiastically. They wanted to marry, but neither side of their families were in favour. Margot was distraught and took an overdose of strychnine, but survived after Van Gogh rushed her to a nearby hospital.[75] On 26 March 1885, his father died of a heart attack.[83]
There are more than 600 letters from Vincent to Theo and around 40 from Theo to Vincent. There are 22 to his sister Wil, 58 to the painter Anthon van Rappard, 22 to Émile Bernard as well as individual letters to Paul Signac, Paul Gauguin and the critic Albert Aurier. Some are illustrated with sketches.[8] Many are undated, but art historians have been able to place most in chronological order. Problems in transcription and dating remain, mainly with those posted from Arles. While there Vincent wrote around 200 letters in Dutch, French and English.[14] There is a gap in the record when he lived in Paris as the brothers lived together and had no need to correspond.[15]
In these series, Van Gogh was not preoccupied by his usual interest in filling his paintings with subjectivity and emotion; rather the two series are intended to display his technical skill and working methods to Gauguin,[134] who was about to visit. The 1888 paintings were created during a rare period of optimism for the artist. Vincent wrote to Theo in August 1888, "I'm painting with the gusto of a Marseillais eating bouillabaisse, which won't surprise you when it's a question of painting large sunflowers ... If I carry out this plan there'll be a dozen or so panels. The whole thing will therefore be a symphony in blue and yellow. I work on it all these mornings, from sunrise. Because the flowers wilt quickly and it's a matter of doing the whole thing in one go."[243]
I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance too but it hurts now! I've always kept moving. I was at the gym at six this morning. Of course marrying a beautiful young woman has been a big help. There are so many years between us and we don't feel it. I'm emotionally immature and she's very wise for her age so we kind of meet in the middle.
Born into an upper-middle-class family, Van Gogh drew as a child and was serious, quiet and thoughtful. As a young man he worked as an art dealer, often travelling, but became depressed after he was transferred to London. He turned to religion and spent time as a Protestant missionary in southern Belgium. He drifted in ill health and solitude before taking up painting in 1881, having moved back home with his parents. His younger brother Theo supported him financially, and the two kept up a long correspondence by letter. His early works, mostly still lifes and depictions of peasant labourers, contain few signs of the vivid colour that distinguished his later work. In 1886, he moved to Paris, where he met members of the avant-garde, including Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin, who were reacting against the Impressionist sensibility. As his work developed he created a new approach to still lifes and local landscapes. His paintings grew brighter in colour as he developed a style that became fully realised during his stay in Arles in the south of France in 1888. During this period he broadened his subject matter to include series of olive trees, wheat fields and sunflowers.
Just purchased a entertainment center from Art Van and my experience was decent. Didn't like the idea of $100 delivery fee to deliver around the corner with a piece of furniture I still had to put together myself. Didn't make much sense there so I just picked it up and the warehouse guys were cool. Sales staff wasn't good for much to be honest with you but the girls in the office helped with 98% of what I needed.

In December 1888 he painted La Berceuse – a figure that he thought as good as his sunflowers. It has a limited palette, varied brushstrokes and simple contours.[219] It appears to be a culmination of portraits of the Roulin family completed in Arles between November and December. The portraits show a shift in style from the fluid, restrained brushstrokes and even surface of Portrait of the Postman to the frenetic style, rough surface, broad brushstrokes and use of a palette knife in Madame Roulin with Baby.[229]
Many of the late paintings are sombre but essentially optimistic and, right up to the time of Van Gogh's death, reflect his desire to return to lucid mental health. Yet some of his final works reflect his deepening concerns.[257][258] Writing in July 1890, from Auvers, Van Gogh said that he had become absorbed "in the immense plain against the hills, boundless as the sea, delicate yellow".[181]

Mainer roots teased out in 'Salt in Their Veins'
Book gathers interviews with 35 coastal residents
Tina Cohen
Salt in Their Veins: Conversations with coastal Mainers
(As told to Charlie Wing… published by Charlie Wing Books, 2016)
Before Salt in Their Veins, Charlie Wing was already a published author of books about "things," including how things work in homes and boats (and while I'm oversimplifying the topics, those books draw on technical expertise, given Wing has a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, did research there for NASA and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, taught physics at Bowdoin College, and was involved with the Shelter Institute in Woolwich).
But here, his focus has changed to profiles of people, or as his wife put it, "His first book with a pulse." Curious about how life on the coast of Maine (Cape Elizabeth to Eastport) works, he interviewed 88 participants, then winnowed those to 35 for this book.
There is no description of Wing's approach to the selection of those 88, or of the final 35 (and it occurs to me that could have been a book in itself; how does one choose those most interesting or representative?). Wing's relaxed banter, framed by some stock questions, has produced stories that are lively, reflective, informative and humorous.
Some of the interviewees are regionally famous, if not even beyond Maine/New England (among them, the Robert Skoglund, the "Humble Farmer" with his radio show; the humorist Tim Sample; the artist Will Barnet; and Reverend Bobby Ives of the Carpenter's Boatshop).
Although being part of a family long established and still rooted in coastal Maine is one of the primary qualifications for selection, a few "from away" get included because they are "almost" natives. Some of these interviewees left their Maine homes to go to school, and perhaps saw more of the world through travel, military service or with an intervening career, but most importantly, they chose to return.
This is a book about roots and as such, it presents a kind of lesson for younger generations. Wing's conversations elicit the life experience and share the wisdom of the "elders;" the average age of his interviewees must be late 60s, early 70s.
There is a subtext of concern that the coast of Maine is now experiencing a wave of development threatening to redefine—homogenize, perhaps—coastal communities.
For many residents, marine-related ventures can still be economically viable, if precarious. But attracting outsiders—for example, via retirement campuses and tourist attractions—appears to be a revival strategy. One wonders at what cost. If the institutions of local life change, what is susceptible to being discarded, replaced? Wing might hope his book provides inspiration to those growing up now, a lesson being that your ancestors found ways to stay put and be successful.
Some might question how relevant the "old school" experience of the generation interviewed here is. Wing includes only a few women and only one non-Caucasian (a Native American). Anyone arguing that what worked in the past serves as a viable guide to the future needs to add in a mitigating awareness that the past includes injustices that deserve to be questioned. For example, that land was originally taken from the natives and given to settlers from Europe. That women were historically denied many opportunities, including their job choices.
Sometimes heritage—touted in this book as a plus_is unfortunately marked by the disadvantages conferred rather than advantages.

Q: R - swap sequences after and before the underscore to have a consistent string in a dataframe I have a dataframe (R) where I have around 6000 different strings (column S). It might happen that the string before the underscore is swapped and you can find it the string after the underscore. Here an example:
df <- data.frame(val= sample(1:100, 50, replace=T),
            S=c(paste0(rep('A',5),'_',rep('B',5)),
                paste0(rep('C',10),'_',rep('D',10)),
                paste0(rep('B',3),'_', rep('A',3)),
                paste0(rep('C',7),'_', rep('A',7)),
                paste0(rep('E',20),'_',rep('F',20)),
                paste0(rep('F',5),'_', rep('G',5))))

I need to put always the string before and after the underscore in the same order, because they are actually the same (it doesn't matter the order, it is important that they are in the same order). I am loosing my mind on how to do it.
I was trying to split the string S and adding the two string information:
> df$L1 <- unlist(lapply(strsplit(df$S,'_'), function(x) x[1]))
> df$L2 <-unlist(lapply(strsplit(df$S,'_'), function(x) x[2]))

I was thinking to apply a for loop but I don't know how to check all the different combinations and store the information.
Could you help me?

A: If the order doesn't matter sort might be helpful here.
cbind(df, S_new = sapply(strsplit(df$S, "_"), function(x)
  paste(sort(x), collapse="_")))
   val   S S_new

Explained: Who is Sapna Chaudhary? What's the controversy surrounding her?
The Indian Express 25 March 2019
Sapna Chaudhary said she will not campaign for any political party in the Lok Sabha elections.
Confusion and drama prevailed on Sunday over reports that famous Haryanavi singer-dancer Sapna Chaudhary has joined the Congress and would be pitted against Bollywood star Hema Malini from Mathura Lok Sabha seat.
However, Chaudhary made it clear that she had not joined the Congress and would not campaign for any political party in the Lok Sabha elections.
The controversy started on Saturday night after Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar welcomed Chaudhary into the party and posted a picture on Twitter of the dancer with Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi. "I welcome Sapna Chaudhary ji in the Congress family," Babbar had tweeted.
However, the Rohtak-born star clarified on Sunday that the pictures were old and rubbished claims that she filed Congress membership form. "I have not joined the Congress party. My pictures with Priyanka Gandhi are old, as I have met her many times in the past. These pictures are old. The biggest issue is that I have not joined any party," she told reporters.
One of the most demanded stage performers in Haryana, her dancing style and on-stage persona has made her a cultural icon in Haryana. A YouTube video of her dancing to 'Teri Aankhya Ka Yo Kaajal' at a local programme has 391 million views — among the 25 most-watched videos in India.
With over 1.6 million followers on Instagram, Chaudhary, in recent times, has often criticised the enemies of the country and called for "revenge". She also visits gaushalas regularly.
Belonging to a middle-class Jat family, Chaudhary took to dancing seriously after the death of her father in 2008 to sustain the family. She specialises in a traditional dance form called Khodiya, which showcases the repressed sexuality of Haryana's women.
Her career received a shot in the arm in 2015, when her song 'Solid Body Re' went viral. In 2016, she got embroiled in a major controversy after her performance to a song that had casteist references.
A complaint was filed against her for hurting caste sentiments and she was trolled and was subject to hate online too. All this took a toll on Chaudhary's mental health and she attempted suicide by consuming poison.
After the Punjab & Haryana High Court granted her bail in September 2016, her career started getting back on track. The year 2017 saw her roar back with her participation in the reality TV series Bigg Boss. She also performed item numbers in Bollywood movies 'Veere di Wedding' and 'Nanu ki Jaanu'.

Mayfield's agent says QB will be selective about endorsement deals, has faith in front office to choose right coach
Jason Miller/Getty Images
Baker Mayfield, according to his agent, has "the blinders on" during the season.
As an NFL agent, it's Tom Mills' job to know the deal.
And the Browns' plan last summer was clear.
Tyrod Taylor, for whom the team had traded the 65th overall pick in the 2018 draft, was the starting quarterback. Baker Mayfield, the top overall pick in the draft, was a backup.
"Going into the year, the word was he wasn't going to be the starter, and he didn't start season as a starter. We were content with that," said Mills, whose Capital Sports Advisors is based in Boulder, Colo. "We were going to be patient and we were in it for the long haul. But once he started playing, he had high expectations and we thought he performed well."
Mills said that in mid-December, before his client threw three touchdown passes in each of his last two games to break a rookie TD record that had been held by Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson. Mayfield finished his rookie season with 3,725 yards passing (the sixth-most for a rookie), 27 TDs and a 93.7 passer rating (the eighth-best for a first-year starter).
"I learned pretty early on, before we even got to the season, to not be surprised by too much he does," Mills said.
When Tom Mills and his father, Jack, landed Mayfield as a client in January 2018, Mike Klis — a longtime Denver Broncos reporter who now works for 9News, the city's NBC affiliate — wrote, "In an industry where quarterback representation is dominated by the likes of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Rep 1 Sports and Athletes First, Mayfield's decision to align with the Mills was the biggest surprise since Tom Cruise warded off Jay Mohr for the rights to Cuba Gooding Jr."
But it's not as if Mayfield signed with a group of novices. Jack Mills' career goes back five decades, to a time in which he represented four first-round picks in the 1970 draft.
When we wrote a piece about the marketing of Mayfield last May, the QB was represented by Waterhouse Hayes, a Los Angeles firm, on the marketing side. But Mayfield is no longer working with the agency, and Mills' group has taken on a larger role.
"Before the season, we were retained to work on the football side," Tom Mills told us in mid-December. "That's been our area of experience for our whole careers. Since the season started, we've taken on a larger role with the marketing. In season, there's been a lot coming in, but we've been basically putting people off until the season is over."
Now, after Mayfield led the Browns to five wins in the last seven games, is that time.
"There's no shortage of people who want to align with him," Mills said.
That group includes some Northeast Ohio companies, the agent said, plus "a lot of national groups."
When we wrote about the Mayfield marketing machine last year, the QB had deals with Nike, Panini America, Leaf Trading Cards, Bose, New Era, PSD and H&H Sports.
The number could grow significantly if Mayfield chooses, but Mills indicated that the QB is much more focused on football — and an upcoming wedding. He will be marrying Emily Wilkinson this offseason.
"It depends on what types of products are out there and if they are things he's already using, so he has an authentic voice behind it and it's something he uses," Mills said. "But he's going to be selective about how much he does. He doesn't want it to be only thing he's doing this offseason."
Mills, as we noted in this week's Crain's cover story on the Browns, said Mayfield has a knack for staying in the moment — a skill that goes well beyond his 23 years.
"Once he got into the season, he was focused on week-to-week preparation," the agent said. "He's in the team facility most of the day. It's all about game preparation and trying to win. He's had the blinders on. I'm sure he's aware of the hype around him, but he does a great job of compartmentalizing that and stays focused on trying to win each week. It's pretty remarkable for such a young guy."
Mills said his group views the Browns as "a growth stock."
They have their QB, along with a bunch of other young talent. They have a ton of salary-cap space and a plethora of late draft picks that general manager John Dorsey can use in trades.
Next up is hiring a coach, which is a move that is obviously crucial to Mayfield's development.
"The coaching decision will be interesting and play a role going forward," Mills said. "We have confidence in the front office to get that right."
You can follow me on Twitter for sports information and analysis, but not a ranking of the best seasons ever by a rookie QB. (From what we've seen on Pro Football Reference, Mayfield is at least in the top three or four.)

The latest GDT auction recorded no change in the overall Price Index.
Although the volume of each product sold through the auction is not made available immediately, it would seem the overall price has been held down by WMP sales. WMP prices fell 4.5%, with all of the other main commodities recording increases. SMP rose 1.5%, butter 5.3% and cheddar 6.9%.

The activity was recently done at Kiddie Academy of Abingdon in Maryland. The teachers thought it would be fun to perform an observational experiment about items that sink or float. They asked students to bring in an item that was safe to put in water. Before the experiment, they made a chart listing the items, then asked the children to come up with a hypothesis – an educated guess – about which items would float and which would sink. They tallied up the votes, then conducted the experiment. After the experiment, they revisited their chart to see how their hypotheses compared with the actual results.
This experiment highlights observation, deductive reasoning, hypothesizing, and comparing and contrasting results.
Here's how you can perform the experiment at home.
Step 1: Have your child gather different items that are safe to place in water.
Step 2: Pour water into a clear bucket. A clear bucket makes it easier for children to see if an item sinks.
Step 3: Create your hypotheses. For each item, discuss whether you and your child think it will sink or float. Mark your guess for each on a list.
Step 4: Have your child place each item, one at a time, in the bucket to identify if it sinks or floats. Talk about why you think each item floated or sank.
Step 5: Revisit your list of hypotheses and compare it to the results of your experiment.

Susan 'Lynn' Cooke claims W55 mile American record — 6 months short of 60
TOPICS:mile recordNew BalanceSusan Cooke
New Balance cover girl Lynn Cooke posed with meet officials after her American record mile in Winter Park, Florida.
Posted By: Ken Stone July 8, 2018
Susan "Lynn" Cooke of Tampa is relatively new to masters track, having "first stepped on a track when I was 56," as she once wrote. So she can be excused for not getting the memo that you don't set records six months before aging up. But Lynn set herself a goal: the W55 American record in the mile.
On Sunday, at age 59 1/2, Lynn says she clocked 5:38.3 — taking a sizable chunk off the listed AR of 5:41.71 by Lesley Chaplin Hinz in 2015. (Results from the Robert Walker Jr. Pre Disney Club Championships Relays & Open Tune-up meet weren't up Sunday night.) More remarkable, Lynn is under Kathy Martin's listed W60 WR of 5:42.65. So hold on till 2019, Lynn, and you could join the gods.
Lynn boasts having created the first elite masters female racing team ever sponsored by a global brand (New Balance Tampa Masters Racing Team) when she was 57.
So she had a great support team, which she credited on Facebook. (See below.) Lynn's entered in the 800, 1500 and steeple at Spokane nationals. (At Malaga worlds, she'll focus on the 8 and 15.) The listed W55 WRs are 2:21.98 and 4:51.26 – a heavy lift. But the W55 AR at 15 is Lorraine Jasper's 5:08.96. And her 800 AR target is 2:30.53 by Jane Arnold, dating to 1996. Time for a redo. (Lynn ran 2:39.32 in mid-June.)

I like Lynn Cooke a lot. She's fun, very social, determined, and great to be around. Also, as I have said before, I love to see women who had no high school or college careers in T&F emerge much later as stars or superstars in masters. In my opinion it's much more daring to participate in T&F than to do road races only. The most obvious difference is that you are very visible in track and field; people are actually looking at you.

Q: Trying to find the circular reference in my django urlpatterns using django-subdomains? I'm getting a the url conf correct for my web app, and I'm at a loose end.
I think the idea behind django-subdomains is that the subdomain routing is stored in the SUBDOMAIN_URLCONFS
ROOT_URLCONF = 'creativeflow'
# A dictionary of urlconf module paths, keyed by their subdomain.
SUBDOMAIN_URLCONFS = {
    None: ROOT_URLCONF + '.urls',  # no subdomain, e.g. ``example.com``
    'www': ROOT_URLCONF + '.urls',
    'blog': 'blog.urls',
}

Then my creativeflow.urls and blog.urls are:
"""Creativeflow URL Configuration."""
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls, name="admin"),
]

And
"""Creativeflow URL Configuration the blog app."""
from django.conf.urls import url
from .views import BlogListView
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'posts/^(?P<year>\d{4})/(?P<months>\d{2}|\w{3})/(?P<day>\d{2})',
        BlogListView.as_view(paginate_by=25), name="blog-list-view")
]

The error I'm seeing is:
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function check_errors.<locals>.wrapper at 0x046FA618>

    raise ImproperlyConfigured(msg.format(name=self.urlconf_name))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The included URLconf 'creativeflow' does not appear to have any patterns in
 it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.

I'm assuming that, as you can see, I have an urlpatterns in both urls.py. So I must have a circular reference. But I've followed the imports from through views.py and models.py and I don't see anything that would cause a circular dependency problem.
How do I resolve this/and find the circular dependency?

A: Your ROOT_URLCONF points to a module without any patterns. The ROOT_URLCONFmodule must at least have a urlpatterns attribute, even if it's an empty list. You probably want this to point to creativeflow.urls.

AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open Betting Tips – Thursday 12th May 2016
If you look out of the window this week and see grey clouds it might not be a good idea to turn on the coverage of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. If you do, you are sure to be envious of the players competing at one of the most stunning settings for a golf course in the world.
The tournament is being hosted at the Four Seasons Resort in Anahita and their 7,500 yard course. Ernie Els is the designer behind the project and like everything the Big Easy turns his hand to, it is world class. The par 72 winds its way around the coastal setting of Anahita in the early stages with mountainous views in the background before coming to an incredible crescendo. The final six holes are all set on the Indian Ocean and the best is saved for last. Many of those who have played the course believe that the 18th has the best approach shot in all of golf and it is sure to play a major role in proceedings this week.
The best way of describing the field for the AfrAsia Mauritius Open is eclectic. As the event is co-sanctioned by the European, Sunshine and Asian Tours there are players from all four corners of the globe taking part including some who have made waves at the highest levels and those who are tipped for great things. The course is going to brand new to the majority of the players this week and that could ensure some late drama as the tournament draws to a conclusion on Sunday.
One of the few players taking part in the second running of this tournament to have any links with the Four Seasons at Anahita is Nicolas Colsaerts. The 33-year-old has had a career that many of his competitors this week would be incredibly proud of but there is a feeling that he has just stalled recently. You have to go all the way back to 2012 for his last win on the European Tour but he has redoubled his efforts to make sure that run ends as soon as possible. Colsaerts is affiliated with the host course and won the Mauritius Golf Masters at this venue in 2010 so his odds of 28/1 with Coral look like good value.
One of the young guns in the field who is fancied to have a strong career is Haydn Porteous. The South African picked up his first European Tour win at the Joburg Open where he displayed a game with a great combination of power and touch. The 21-year-old is looking to really kick on and he could come up with the goods this week at odds of 28/1 with Betfred.
There have been some very long odds winners of big golf tournaments of late and Edoardo Molinari may be about to add his name to that list. The Italian is grinding to find some form and amongst this relatively modest standard of opposition the former Ryder Cup player could find his best stuff and grab the win at 200/1 with BetVictor.

100,000 "critical" workers across England to be tested daily as PM looks to avoid more restrictions
Prime Minister believes country can "ride out" surge in cases
Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday, January 4.
"We have a chance to ride out this Omicron wave without shutting down our country once again", the Prime Minister has said as he laid out measures to avoid enacting more restrictions, including daily tests for 100,000 "critical" workers.
In a press conference on Tuesday, Boris Johnson said the "United Kingdom is in the midst of the fastest growth in COVID cases that we've ever known" and the NHS was "moving to a war footing" with 218,724 cases confirmed nationally.
"The weeks ahead are going to be challenging, both here in the UK and across the world. There is no escaping the fact that some services will be disrupted by staff absences, but we've been working through Christmas to prepare for this wherever possible," he added.
However, he said: "If we all play our part in containing the spread of this virus, the disruptions we face can be far less severe than the national lockdown with all the devastation that would bring for the livelihoods and the life chances of our children."
He outlined a number of measures including identifying 100,000 critical workers across a number of industries from food processing to the boarder force and sending lateral flow tests to them every working day from January 10.
Qualified teachers who have left the profession have been asked to return to fill temporary absences, while new Nightingale Hospitals are planned.
Around 2,500 "virtual beds" have been created to allow people to be treated at home, while new antiviral tablets are hoped to reduce hospitalisation.
" I will be recommending to cabinet tomorrow that we continue with Plan B because the public have responded and changed their behaviour, buying valuable time to get boosters in arms and help the NHS to cope with the Omicron wave," he said.

What you are looking at above is the way to communicate with television and radio stations in your area who will put you on live to answer pertinent questions about news events occurring in your community. When breaking news happens, they scramble for experts. And they often grab the wrong folks, those with less knowledge than you...or people who may say things that completely eliminate the idea of phoning an EAP, where in fact that is the best step to take.
These could trauma incidents related to disasters, shootings, court decisions, layoffs, or almost any sort of newsworthy event where your expertise--whether organizational or clinical--could provide that news outlet with a valuable way to educate its listeners or viewers.
Keep a list handy in your purse or pocket of the key phone numbers or fax numbers of the local TV and radio stations. If you are driving down the road and learn of some major incident on the radio (or no matter where you are, head for the fax...or head for the nearest KINKOS and hit the button!

The medical condition known as hallux valgus is commonly referred to as a bunion. It typically occurs as a result of a misalignment in the joint of the big toe, and may cause pain and discomfort. It appears as a large bony protrusion on the side of the big toe and may be difficult to wear specific shoes. If you have a bunion, you most likely may notice tenderness and swelling around the affected joint, in addition to possible joint pain arising from the development of arthritis. This may develop at a faster rate if the bunion is not treated promptly. Some of the reasons why bunions could form may include having an abnormal foot structure such as flat feet, an inherited genetic trait, or extremely flexible ligaments and tendons. Research has shown there are different treatment techniques, which may provide moderate relief. This includes wearing shoes that fit correctly, performing gentle exercises, or wearing insoles in the shoes. It's important to consult with a podiatrist who can determine the best treatment option for you.
If you are suffering from bunions, contact one of our podiatrists of Grobowski Foot & Ankle. our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our offices located in Seattle, Bellevue, and Issaquah, WA,. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot care needs.
Research has shown the ankle is comprised of three bones that interlock together. If an injury is endured that fractures one or more of these bones, it is often referred to as a broken ankle. There are several ligaments and tendons that are attached to these specific bones and may become displaced if the ankle becomes fractured. This typically may occur if a fall has happened and the ankle twists unnaturally. The noticeable symptoms may often include severe pain in and around the affected ankle, unsightly bruising, or difficulty in moving the toes. There are several ways to treat this condition, including wearing a protective boot, taping or wrapping the ankle, which may provide additional support, or possible surgery, which is often determined by the severity of the fracture. If you have broken your ankle, it's advised to speak with a podiatrist as quickly as possible so the correct choice of treatment can begin.
Broken ankles need immediate treatment. If you are seeking treatment, contact one of our podiatrists from Grobowski Foot & Ankle. our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
A broken ankle is experienced when a person fractures their tibia or fibula in the lower leg and ankle area. Both of these bones are attached at the bottom of the leg and combine to form what we know to be our ankle.
When a physician is referring to a break of the ankle, he or she is usually referring to a break in the area where the tibia and fibula are joined to create our ankle joint. Ankles are more prone to fractures because the ankle is an area that suffers a lot of pressure and stress. There are some obvious signs when a person experiences a fractured ankle, and the following symptoms may be present.
If you suspect an ankle fracture, it is recommended to seek treatment as soon as possible. The sooner you have your podiatrist diagnose the fracture, the quicker you'll be on the way towards recovery.
It's Time for Beautiful Feet.
Want to wear open toe shoes again? ...Special occasion? Vacation? ...You don't need an excuse to have beautiful nails.
Many people experience heel pain at some point in their lives. Research has shown the most common type of this uncomfortable condition is referred to as plantar fasciitis. This affects the band of tissue known as the plantar fascia, which connects the heel to the toes. Inflammation may gradually develop as a result of high or low arches or if an injury to the foot has occurred. Bursitis in the heel is another form of foot pain, and may be a result of wearing shoes that do not fit correctly. This type of inflammation originates in the fluid-filled bursa, which is located at the back of the heel. Additionally, a condition known as heel bumps typically affect teenagers. This may be a result of wearing shoes that cause friction on the underdeveloped heel bone. If the Achilles tendon should endure an injury, severe pain is generally felt in the back of the heel and may gravitate to the back of the calf. If you are experiencing heel pain, it's suggested to speak to a podiatrist who can determine the cause and begin proper treatment as quickly as possible.
Many people suffer from bouts of heel pain. For more information, contact one of our podiatrists of Grobowski Foot & Ankle. our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Heel pain is often associated with plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a band of tissues that extends along the bottom of the foot. A rip or tear in this ligament can cause inflammation of the tissue.
Achilles tendonitis is another cause of heel pain. Inflammation of the Achilles tendon will cause pain from fractures and muscle tearing. Lack of flexibility is also another symptom.
Heel spurs are another cause of pain. When the tissues of the plantar fascia undergo a great deal of stress, it can lead to ligament separation from the heel bone, causing heel spurs.
Why Might Heel Pain Occur?
Heel pain should be treated as soon as possible for immediate results. Keeping your feet in a stress-free environment will help. If you suffer from Achilles tendonitis or plantar fasciitis, applying ice will reduce the swelling. Stretching before an exercise like running will help the muscles. Using all these tips will help make heel pain a condition of the past.
If you have any questions please contact one of our offices located in Seattle, Bellevue, and Issaquah, WA,. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot and ankle needs.
What are the Symptoms of a Broken Toe?
There are several ways to incur a broken toe. Repetitive motions can cause a hairline fracture in the toe, in addition to dropping a heavy object on it. Some people may experience stubbing a toe, which is the result of hitting it against a hard surface. This may produce severe discomfort and pain, and a broken toe may be an unfortunate result. There are noticeable symptoms associated with a broken toe, including swelling, bruising and difficulty in walking. The toe may appear deformed, and this may depend upon the severity of the fracture. It's important to have a proper diagnose performed, and this is often accomplished by having an X-Ray taken. Treatment of a broken toe may include taping it to the toe next to it, which is often referred to as buddy taping. It's important to speak with a podiatrist as quickly as possible to learn about additional treatment options concerning a broken toe.
Broken toes may cause a lot of pain and should be treated as soon as possible. If you have any concerns about your feet, contact one of our podiatrists from Grobowski Foot & Ankle. our doctors will treat your foot and ankle needs.
What is a Broken Toe?
A broken toe occurs when one or more of the toe bones of the foot are broken after an injury. Injuries such as stubbing your toe or dropping a heavy object on it may cause a toe fracture.
Although the injured toe should be monitored daily, it is especially important to have a podiatrist look at your toe if you have severe symptoms. Some of these symptoms include worsening or new pain that is not relieved with medication, sores, redness, or open wounds near the toe.
Research has shown that if the feet are enduring structural problems, it may lead to improper foot function, which may affect the body. Some of these misalignments of the feet may include low arches, feet that have a tendency to roll inward, also referred to as overpronation, or supinated feet, which is the term for feet that roll outward. If these conditions are present, some of the symptoms that may be experienced may include ankle pain, discomfort in or around the arch of the foot, and pain involving the Achilles tendon. If you are experiencing ailments that may include shin splints, heel pain or uneasiness during walking or running, it is suggested to consult with a podiatrist so a proper analysis can be performed. Additionally, a discussion about correct treatment options may be advised. This may include performing exercises, which may strengthen weak muscles and wearing orthotics that are specifically fitted to your foot.
If you have any concerns about your feet, contact one of our podiatrists from Grobowski Foot & Ankle. our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Podiatric biomechanics is a particular sector of specialty podiatry with licensed practitioners who are trained to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot, ankle and lower leg. Biomechanics deals with the forces that act against the body, causing an interference with the biological structures. It focuses on the movement of the ankle, the foot and the forces that interact with them.
Biomechanics dates back to the BC era in Egypt where evidence of professional foot care has been recorded.
In 1974, biomechanics gained a higher profile from the studies of Merton Root, who claimed that by changing or controlling the forces between the ankle and the foot, corrections or conditions could be implemented to gain strength and coordination in the area.
