Pancalieri (Pancalé in piemontese) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della città metropolitana di Torino in Piemonte. Si trova nella pianura a sud di Torino (circa 31 chilometri) e dista  da Pinerolo e  da Carmagnola.

È un centro prevalentemente agricolo posto sulla sponda sinistra del Po. È soprannominato il paese della menta in quanto nel suo territorio si produce quasi il 50% di tutte le piante officinali in Italia, tra le quali spicca la menta piperita. I raccolti di questa pianta vengono portati a distillare a Pancalieri nei lambicc (termine piemontese in uso, per l'italiano "alambicchi"), ovvero attrezzature per distillare la menta.

Sono diverse le opinioni degli studiosi a proposito dell'origine del nome, ma la più attendibile è sicuramente la conformazione del suo territorio definito "piano calante" (verso il fiume Po).

Geografia fisica
Il territorio comunale è attraversato dal Fiume Po, dal Torrente Pellice e dal Canale Angiale. In particolare il Canale Angiale passa proprio in mezzo al paese e lungo il suo corso sorgevano vari mulini.

La presenza di questi corsi d'acqua rende il terreno particolarmente fertile. Anche per tale motivo, da più di cento anni nel territorio di Pancalieri si è diffusa la coltivazione della menta e di altre piante officinali.

Infrastrutture e trasporti
Pancalieri è collegata a Torino, Carmagnola e Pinerolo attraverso la SP129 che diventa nel territorio cuneese del limitrofo comune di Casalgrasso, SP30 che a sua volta s'immette nella SP663. Pancalieri è collegata alla provincia di Cuneo precisamente col Comune di Faule attraverso la SP149 che attraversa il ponte sul Po.

Vi sono inoltre ancora due alternative per andare a Torino dal paese di Pancalieri: la prima è passare dalla Pancalera, una strada secondaria che si immette nella provinciale di Saluzzo nei pressi del comune di Carignano o la seconda quella di collegamento al vicino comune di Virle Piemonte, detta anche La Via del Sale che attraversa l'ovest del Torinese.

Per i trasporti invece è collegato a Carmagnola, None, Savigliano, Saluzzo, Torino con dei pullman di linea

Avvenimenti importanti storici
Attorno al 1533 a Pancalieri nacque Davide Rizzio, musicista e segretario di Maria Stuarda, regina di Scozia.

Nel 1884 Pancalieri venne attaccata da un'epidemia di colera che causò la morte a molte persone.

Biblioteca
La biblioteca comunale di Pancalieri, stabilita per decreto comunale dal 1975, è situata nella ristrutturata ex Casa della Società Operaia dal 2007. Nello stesso edificio è situato anche il Museo della Menta.

Economia
L'economia di Pancalieri è per larga parte di tipo agricolo.

Di particolare rilievo è la coltivazione delle piante officinali e tra queste eccelle la coltivazione della menta piperita. La coltivazione della menta è stata introdotta a Pancalieri fin dal 1862 dal farmacista di allora, Chiaffredo Gamba.

I am sick of it. I hear the above not only from "intellectuals" outside of our industry but people in this industry as well. It's ridiculous.
An opportunity to grow into a supervisor, manager, or even a business owner one day.
Please show me another career choice that offers the same opportunities.
I entered this trade in 1985, long before the service/replacement sector had matured into the amazing industry it is today. At that time, if you entered the trade, you were likely targeted for new construction work at a larger mechanical firm, or you worked for a small family business where the growth opportunities may have been limited.
Today, there are amazing companies focused on service replacement that will not only teach a young person the trade but will also teach them how to be a well-rounded service technician with customer service and business skills and huge opportunities for advancement.
The industry we serve is growing and relatively insulated from all the massive disruptions that have occurred due to technology in recent years.
Have you talked to a printer lately? Or a taxi or limousine service worker? Do you even know someone who works in a bookstore?
I have come to appreciate this industry over the last 30 years. I am not a tradesperson — I have never worked with the tools, and, truth be told, the technical part of the business does not hold much interest for me personally. However, I have come to truly love this industry. I love what it provides for the people who work in it and the value customers receive every day. And there is one more thing, too. I love its consistency. I love the fact that over the past 30 years, while other industries have boomed and then busted, our industry has plugged along, growing steadily every year with no end in sight. Ask someone in virtually any other industry if they can make the same claim.
For me, the definition of hell is working for a company where the owners don't even know your name: The Home Depot, Google, Amazon, or the major utilities. Decisions are made that greatly impact you, yet you have no say or voice in what the company does. You are merely a number. A tiny, tiny cog in a big wheel.
Working in this industry means you will be working within eyesight of the people making decisions about the business. You will likely have a relationship with the owner or someone who works with the owner. I like that. I like my odds for advancement in that kind of environment. I like the measure of control and input I have in the business where I am putting in my life's work.
Working for Google … not so much. That's working in anonymity, powerless to control the outcome of the business that is headquartered across the country or the ocean. That is my personal definition of hell.
Great organizations in this industry — independent of each other — recognize this industry is an Option A for young people. Reach out to the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) Educational Foundation, the Nexstar Legacy Foundation, or other similar organizations for materials and support to help you have meaningful Option A conversations with young people.
Let's change the industry narrative. Let's talk about Option A.

Trump reportedly wants to restrict visa programs for skilled workers
Some Republicans are pressuring the president to suspend the programs for a year.

She first joined Vox in 2019, and her work has also appeared in Politico, Washington Monthly, and the New Republic.
President Donald Trump has said he wants to halt immigration while Americans face staggeringly high unemployment levels as a result of the coronavirus pandemic — including temporary visas for skilled foreign workers and for foreign students who went to college in the US.
More than 85,000 immigrants get H-1B visas for skilled workers annually, including more than 1,000 apiece for workers at tech giants such as Google and Amazon. The demand for these visas consistently outstrips the supply.
But the New York Times reported Trump is considering barring the issuance of new visas in certain employment-based categories, including H-1B visas, as well as ending the Optional Practical Training program, or OPT, which allows foreigners on student visas to work in the US for up to three years post-graduation depending on their field of study.
If Trump moves forward with that plan, it would disrupt the job search for immigrant workers who rely on these programs and who, for the most part, have no other avenue of pursuing a career in the US. Many employers would face challenges filling positions requiring specialized skills, particularly in STEM fields where there are well-documented labor shortages, that help drive economic expansion and create jobs for native-born workers.
Republican lawmakers are pushing Trump to suspend the H-1B and OPT programs for a year or until the unemployment rate, which has reached almost 15 percent, returns to a normal level.
"Given the extreme lack of available jobs for American job-seekers as portions of our economy begin to reopen, it defies common sense to admit additional foreign guest workers to compete for such limited employment," Sens. Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Chuck Grassley, and Josh Hawley wrote in a letter to the White House on May 7.
The programs have their flaws, but shutting them down likely won't help the vast majority of job-seeking Americans during this crisis. There have been cases of employers exploiting the programs to displace American workers, usually in IT fields, which haven't seen relatively high job losses compared to other industries. Lawmakers in both parties agree that practice should be prohibited through reforms.
But ending the programs entirely would create uncertainty for employers who are facing a legitimate gap in their workforce, as well as the Americans they employ. US universities, research institutions and the business community, which all rely on these programs, have consequently lobbied against Republicans' proposal, but it's not clear whether the White House will heed their concerns.
Trump ordered the administration to publish an interagency report on these visas, which was due Friday and may help justify any action he plans to take. Still, congressional aides say they're skeptical that this administration, which has historically deferred to business interests on immigration issues, will follow through on shutting down the H-1B and OPT programs entirely.
Experts say that amending the programs to ensure foreign workers don't displace Americans is preferable to ending them. Lawmakers in both parties have sought such reforms to the H-1B program for more than a decade, and Sens. Dick Durbin and Chuck Grassley reintroduced related legislation on Friday.
Trump's mixed record on high-skilled immigration
Since his 2016 campaign, Trump has both railed against the H-1B program — which he said suppresses American wages and employment rates and is rife with employer abuse — and warned about a brain drain of foreign graduates.
"They'll go to Harvard, they'll go to Stanford, they'll go to Wharton, as soon as they're finished they'll get shoved out," he said in 2016. "They want to stay in this country. They want to stay here desperately, they're not able to stay here. For that purpose, we absolutely have to be able to keep the brain power in this country."
Once in office, Trump advocated for creating a "merit-based" immigration system that would favor the same kind of immigrants who currently benefit from the H-1B and OPT programs — those with valuable skills, offers of employment, advanced degrees, and higher wages — over those with family ties to the US. But he also signed the "Buy American and Hire American" executive order in April 2017 that increased scrutiny of H-1B applicants and resulted in a spike in denials, and has been considering a regulation ending the OPT program for years.
This inconsistency might be explained by Trump's desire to simultaneously satisfy both the anti-immigration and pro-business wings of Republican party, which are often on opposite sides of the debate over high-skilled immigration. At the outset of the pandemic, Trump proposed halting the issuance of all work visas, but the New York Times reported he ultimately decided against it after pushback from business groups.
The US needs high-skilled foreign talent
The H-1B and OPT programs are pipelines for foreign talent, particularly in the fields of computer science, engineering, education, and medicine.
The application process for H-1B visas is expensive, costing about $10,000 per worker, usually paid by an employer. But without these visas, many companies argue they would face difficulty filling jobs that require specialized skills or degrees. The business community has consequently lobbied Congress to increase the cap on H-1B visas in recent years.
Post-graduate training through OPT can be a stepping stone to an H-1B for many foreign graduates of US universities, particularly in STEM fields. In 2019, the government received a record 220,000 requests for OPT, according to data from US Citizenship and Immigration Services.
For foreign students deciding to attend American universities, the prospect of being able to work in the US post-graduation is a major draw. According to the National Science Foundation, most foreign students on OPT choose to remain in the US and become contributing members of the scientific workforce.
"It's especially important to safeguard international experts and students and scientific research during a public health emergency that requires experts to constructively work together to ensure the safety and health of people everywhere," Benjamin Corb, public affairs director for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, said in a statement.
Absent the ability to work post-graduation, foreign students might decide against choosing to attend school in the US, which would be devastating to American universities who rely on their tuition. Universities were already feeling the pinch in recent years with a decline in enrollment among foreign students, who tend to pay more in tuition than Americans, generating a total of $39 billion in revenue. That could hurt the quality of US higher education more broadly, universities have argued.
H-1Bs and OPT are vulnerable to abuse
While many businesses are facing a legitimate gap in their workforce and pay their skilled foreign workers a fair wage, some employers have used H-1Bs and OPT to fill positions cheaply — sometimes at the expense of American workers.
Federal guidelines say the H-1B program should not "adversely affect the wages and working conditions" of Americans. The question of whether H-1B workers are generally underpaid and drive down American wages has proved difficult to answer, spurring disagreement among researchers. But it's clear that employers have, in fact, been able to use the H-1B program to displace Americans.
Most employers aren't required to show that they have advertised a job to Americans and that there are no qualified Americans available to fill the position before hiring an H-1B worker. That has allowed companies ranging from Disney to the electric utility Southern California Edison to the coronavirus antibody test producer Abbott Labs to lay off US workers and replace them with H-1B workers with lower salaries — in some cases, even ordering the US workers to train their replacements.
Often, companies will use outsourcing firms that bring in employees, primarily from India, on H-1Bs to fill IT positions. The largest of these firms, Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, consistently receive more H-1Bs than even the largest US tech companies.
These practices are all perfectly legal. But they have ignited a debate over whether the H-1B program is operating as it was intended and complementing rather than competing with the American workforce.
"The H-1B is an important pathway to bring skilled people here," Daniel Costa, director of immigration law and policy research at the Economic Policy Institute, said. "But I do think that the way it's used is one big corporate loophole. We should regulate it in a way that's fair to both the US workers who should have a shot at applying and then the migrant workers who are coming in through no fault of their own, being underpaid and used as pawns."
The OPT program has even less regulation. There is no set minimum wage level for OPT workers, which means that a foreign graduate could be working a full-time job but paid nothing or close to nothing.
Employers similarly don't have to show there are no qualified Americans available before hiring someone on OPT, though a 2019 National Foundation for American Policy study by economist Madeline Zavodny found "no evidence that foreign students participating in the OPT program reduce job opportunities for U.S. workers." In fact, the study found that the more foreign students approved for OPT in STEM fields, the lower the unemployment rate among US workers in those fields.
Both Republicans and Democrats have embraced reform efforts
Grassley and Durbin reintroduced a bill on Friday that would clamp down on outsourcing companies that rely on H-1Bs and ensure that companies have to look for qualified American candidates before hiring H-1B workers.
The bill, identical to one they introduced in 2017, is being cosponsored by Sens. Bernie Sanders and Richard Blumenthal and has a companion in the House. The first version of the bill was introduced in 2007.
The bill would prohibit replacing American workers with H-1B recipients and bar companies from laying off American workers for 180 days before and after hiring an H-1B worker.
It would also change how H-1B visas are allocated, eliminating the lottery system by which recipients of the visas are currently selected and creating a "preference system" in its place. Foreign graduates of US universities, advanced degree holders, those with high salaries and those with valuable skills would be prioritized.
It would also require that all employers show they have made good-faith efforts to recruit Americans and that none were available prior to offering an H-1B recipient a job — a requirement that employers hiring students on OPT should also face, Costa said.
These restrictions would make it much harder for outsourcing firms to dominate the H-1B program and free up visas for good-faith employers who have been shut out of the program, Grassley and Durbin have argued.
"[These reforms] improve access to the best and brightest foreign workers, guard against exploitation of foreign workers and prevent more American jobs from being shipped overseas," Grassley wrote in Fortune in 2017. "And most importantly, they put Americans first — a common refrain from President Trump."

If we were typical middle-class Americans living in the late 1800s to the early 1900s, just after the Industrial Revolution, preventing the bullying of children in school would not even be a visible speck on the horizon of our priorities. In the midst of concerns that included poverty, an expanding urban economy, and the challenges of an insular family farming existence, a child's ability to work and earn wages was often essential to their family's survival. The child's individual needs and education were secondary to the needs of the family – a very drastic contrast to today's child-centered priorities to shield, nurture and educate children until they mature.
The concern for children's rights that grew out of child labor practices in the 19th century had an impact on approaches to childhood discipline. Even within the last 50 years, a parental philosophy of "spare the rod, spoil the child" would not have raised many eyebrows. Yet in the last quarter of a century fewer parents would consider using the "rod" and many would regard corporal punishment of a child as appalling. While New Jersey was the first state to ban corporal punishment in public schools in 1867, it was not until 1977 that U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the spanking or paddling of students by school officials or teachers was unlawful [Ingraham v. Wright 430 U.S. 651 (1977); www.corpun.com/].
It is unquestionable that order and discipline are essential to the provision of a thorough and efficient education. Order and discipline ensure safety and create an environment that is conducive to student achievement. When discipline is well structured, applied consistently and focused on educating students about appropriate and civil social behavior, it contributes to a positive school climate.
The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights (N.J.S.A. 18A:37.2 et seq.), enacted in 2011, reflects the current importance placed on the value of student rights and creating a civil school climate conducive to student achievement. The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights requires each school to have a school safety team to develop, foster, and maintain a positive school climate (N.J.S.A. 18A:37.21).
Through policy development, policy oversight and the judicious conduct of due process hearings, the board plays a key role in maintaining rules of order that protect the rights of children and create a culture of respect in school. A fairly and consistently applied policy-driven structure that defines acceptable behavior, details consequences for violating the rules, and affords the right for students to be heard prevents discrimination and preserves the rights of each student.
The legal requirements concerning student discipline are complex, and a board is advised to consult with its policies and its board attorney on the circumstances of specific cases. But a general overview follows here.
The board of education expects students to conduct themselves in keeping with their level of maturity, with a proper regard for the rights and welfare of other students, for school personnel, for the educational purpose underlying all school activities, and for the care of school facilities and equipment. Students are required to conform to reasonable standards of socially acceptable behavior; respect the person, property and rights of others; obey constituted authority and respond to those who hold that authority.
In addition, each district and school code of student conduct is required to contain a description of student responsibilities and behavioral expectation, as well as define graded responses to violations of the code of conduct. Grading, or graduated disciplinary responses, makes the consequences appropriate to the age of the student and the severity, frequency and seriousness of the behavioral infractions.
Districts and charter schools must provide remediation and behavioral supports to help students comply with school behavioral expectations. When students exhibit difficulty complying, such as having repeated violations, supportive planning enables the student to improve their skills and their ability to select alternative ways to more effectively deal with their difficulty. While discipline is punitive, remedial measures address educating the student to improve their behavior.
The board must establish a process for the annual review and update of the code of student conduct. Oversight of the code of student conduct may include requiring the chief school administrator to make periodic reports, and evaluating the results of the biannual Electronic Violence and Vandalism Reporting System (EVVRS) which documents district data on violent offenses, substance abuse and harassment, intimidation and bullying.
Classified Students The code of student conduct applies to all students. In the case of classified students with individualized education programs (IEPs), discipline may be administered according to the code of student conduct when the behavioral infraction is not a manifestation of the disability. A student may be classified for difficulties that include behavioral problems. When the behavioral infraction is a manifestation of the disability, the behavioral guidelines detailed in the IEP impact the discipline.
When a classified student is suspended for up to 10 days (short-term suspension), in addition to the due process rights for all student, written notification and a description of the reasons for the suspension must be forwarded to the case manager and the student's parents/guardians (N.J.A.C. 6A:14-2.8). If the student is removed for five or more school days, the case manager and teacher are responsible for determining the educational services ensure progress in the student's education program and IEP.
Whether the conduct was the direct result of failure to implement the IEP.
If a manifestation is found, revisions to the IEP may be considered and an intervention plan implemented. The child must be returned to school unless the parent agrees to a change in placement as part of the behavioral intervention plan.
Where the IEP team determines that the student's conduct was not a manifestation of the student's disability, the student is entitled to the due process protections afforded general education students.
In summary, discipline, up to and including suspension and expulsion for classified students is considered with regard to the unique educational arrangements of the IEP. The law recognizes that disciplinary issues may be related to the nature of the disability and therefore integral to the student's individualized education program. In addition, the continuity of the student's educational program is safeguarded with the provision of educational services after a removal of five or more days.
Conviction of possession of a gun or a crime involving a gun off school property.
Removal of a student from the educational program does not release the board from its responsibility of providing a free public education for the student. When a student is removed from the educational program, alternative educational arrangements must be made.
Due Process Not all disciplinary appeals require a board hearing. The board may determine, through a review of a disciplinary appeal and the documented actions taken by the teacher and administration, that the student received the appropriate consequences and that the administration effectively implemented the code of student conduct. In such a case the board may render a decision that a hearing is unnecessary. In all cases, whether or not a board hearing is conducted, the decision of the board should be documented in writing to the complainant.
The board is required by law to conduct a board hearing when a hearing is requested by the parent/guardian in instances of harassment, intimidation and bullying and behavioral violations that result in long-term suspension or expulsion.
Any violation of the code of student conduct that results in the suspension or expulsion of a student requires the board to ensure that students receive due process for compliance with the law (N.J.A.C. 6A:7-2 through -4).
In the case of short-term suspension for one to 10 consecutive days, due process means that the principal or designee must conduct an informal hearing (inform the student of the charges, give the student a chance to respond and provide notice to parents/guardians of the suspension).
For a long-term suspension of more than 10 consecutive days, a student is entitled to all the due process for a short-term suspension as well as written notification to parents/guardians. The notification must include a description of the charges and the facts on which the charges are based and an explanation of the student's due process rights.
The student must be given the opportunity to have a board hearing. If a board hearing is requested, the board is required to hold the hearing within 21 days of the first day of the suspension. The student has the right to present a defense; present witnesses and/or signed statements by witnesses; and face and question school witnesses.
The board must render a decision in writing and inform the student of his or her due process right to appeal the board decision within 90 days to the commissioner of education.
View a chart that details administrative and board responsibilities concerning suspension and expulsion.
Home Instruction Because disciplinary measures that remove a student from school potentially conflict with the constitutional mandate to provide "a thorough and efficient system of free public schools for the instruction of all children in the state between the ages of 5 and 18 years," the board is required to provide home or out-of-school instruction. The instruction must be provided no later than five school days after the student has left the general education program.
The district is required to plan and monitor the home or out-of-school instruction, ensure it is provided by appropriately certified staff and see that it meets the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-10.2; see Critical Policy 6173 Home Instruction). When a student cannot be safely returned to school, the board is required to approve an alternate education program (see Critical Policy 6172 Alternative Education Program).
Most people would agree with the oft-quoted sentiment, "A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." Public schools are a microcosm of our nation, and elected and appointed school leaders play a significant role paving the road leading to a great future. Like the child advocates of our past who fought for child labor laws and championed the rights of children, school leaders today continue to take up the mantle by ensuring that order and discipline contribute to a culture of respect that values the rights and dignity of children. It is the role of school leaders to develop clear policy, painstakingly see that the policy is implemented fairly and, when necessary, provide an impartial forum for disputes to be recognized and heard.

Why Is My Shoulder Stiff After Rotator Cuff Surgery? (Video) - Jeffrey H. Berg, M.D.
In prior posts, I have discussed what rotator cuff tears are, what causes them and how they are best treated, both non operatively and with rotator cuff surgery. What I haven't yet discussed, in detail, are the problems that can occur with rotator cuff tear treatment. Paramount among those problems is stiffness. Stiffness unfortunately often occurs after both nonoperative rotator cuff tear treatment and after rotator cuff surgery. Let's take a look at the latter.
Surgery for a rotator cuff tear involves tying the torn rotator cuff tendon to the humerus where it has pulled off from. The tendon needs at least three months to heal to the humerus. Until then, it must remain securely tied to the bone. As a result, the postoperative treatment starts out slowly. Typically the arm is supported in a sling for 4-6 weeks. Although therapy is usually started shortly after surgery, it usually progresses cautiously for the first three months, limiting motion and stress on the repair. All of this is done to try to prevent a catastrophic failure of the repair.
There are a number of reasons that the shoulder may become stiff after rotator cuff surgery. One of the leading reasons is the common post operative course that I described above. In essence, early on, your surgeon is trying to thread the needle between limiting shoulder activity so as to maximize tendon to bone healing while trying to move the shoulder as much as possible in order to reduce the risk of postoperative stiffness. This restriction, although giving a better chance for your rotator cuff to heal, can often lead to stiffness all by itself.
Why? Well joints in general tend to get stiff after trauma…and surgery is traumatic. Many of the joints' soft tissues tend to shorten and stiffen. Why this happens, we don't know. But it happens. Additionally, without much motion, scar tissue has time to develop. This can sometimes result in thick bands that may connect the humerus to other stable areas of the shoulder and restrict, or in some cases prevent, motion. Furthermore this phenomena is more common in some joints than others. For instance, the knee stiffens more than the hip. And as a general rule, the upper extremity more than the lower. Specifically, the shoulder tends to get really stiff after trauma…and surgery.
Secondly, there is also the potential for not only stiffness to develop as we discussed above but an actual secondary frozen shoulder may as well. Many of the groups susceptible to frozen shoulder, also commonly have rotator cuff tears and ultimately rotator cuff surgery: the middle aged, following trauma, and of course, following surgery, for example.
Rotator cuff surgery is very painful. We do many things to reduce the pain but the surgery and particularly the recovery, is still painful. Additionally, the recovery is long. Recovering from rotator cuff surgery is not a sprint but rather a marathon…and a painful one at that. Pain can prevent effort…or limit it. And recovering from rotator cuff surgery and reducing or preventing stiffness requires effort…and lots of it. So if your in pain and can't perform the rehab that's needed, your shoulder may stiffen from any or all of the reasons discussed above. As you stiffen, the greater your pain will be when moving your shoulder and the more effort that will be needed to overcome the stiffness. So pain can lead to a vicious cycle of progressive increased pain and stiffness, feeding on itself and causing even greater pain and stiffness.
So the question really isn't "Why is my shoulder stiff after rotator cuff surgery?" but rather "Why isn't it?". Stiffness of some degree is common. Not having any stiffness at any time is not. Recovering from rotator cuff surgery is like swimming against the current. With the current being your shoulder' tendency to get stiff.
With that said, stiffness early on is usually a good thing. Huh? Well the weak link in your repair is the repair. The tendon is attached to the bone by small stitches. Initially just tiny strings are holding your repair together. As the tendon heals to the bone, the repair becomes stronger and the stitches less relevant. But until then, if you gain too much motion, too soon, you probably gained that motion by pulling the repair apart. So stiffness early is usually a good thing.
Fortunately, this stiffness often will work its way out with time, effort and continued physical therapy. Over time, your pain will usually decrease and your tissues themselves will often slowly begin to lengthen and loosen on their own. After the tendon heals to the bone, the pace and intensity of your therapy can and should be increased….leading to further gains in your shoulder's range of motion. So if your shoulder has not become too stiff before this point, much, if not all of your motion may be regained.
But when it isn't, there are still other solutions. Sometimes the ultimate loss of motion is minimal. Most joints have extra motion. The shoulder more so than many. So a loss of some motion will often either not be noted or at least not be bothersome. Usually most activities, whether those needed for daily living or even recreation, will not be hampered. However if they are, a manipulation of your shoulder or a simple arthroscopic surgery can almost always restore your motion to satisfactory levels. Fortunately, this surgery is much simpler and easier to recover from than the initial rotator cuff surgery.
For more about this common, complex issue, watch the following video in which The Two Boneheads, Dr. Howard Luks and myself, have another hopefully informative discussion in which we discuss this issue in detail.
When do you start to get more aggressive with stiff shoulders post op? Iannotti, Williams, just about all surgeons now like 6 weeks in a sling/abduction splint, little to no movement. Start PT (PROM) there, add AAROM at 8 weeks for everything not "massive" (small to large tears). By 9-10 weeks patients are pretty stiff… all be it that at 3 months there is a pretty good tendon to bone healing mechanism established in a successful repair. Do you wait for 12 weeks or do you start more aggressive stretches at 8-10 weeks?
improvement…and patient happiness…by 4-5 months. If I don't see satisfactory and improving range of motion by 5 months, I confirm satisfactory tendon healing by MRI and if confirmed, I perform a manipulation. If unclear, I perform an arthroscopy and assess the rotator cuff repair integrity and lysis of adhesions.

State Democrats meet in LaPlace
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, February 7, 2012
By Robin Shannon
L'Observateur
LAPLACE – An early Friday afternoon lunch in LaPlace with state Democratic Party leadership attracted a large contingent of St. John the Baptist Parish residents and elected officials.
The appearance was part of a 35-city "Back to Basics" tour of the state that crisscrossed Louisiana from north to south. The tour concluded Saturday in Slaughter, just north of Baton Rouge.
"It has been a grassroots effort to ensure that the party is ready for the 2012 election and the national convention," said Buddy Leach, chair of the Louisiana Democratic Party. "We are talking to residents and elected leaders about becoming delegates to the convention."
Leach said the response to the tour has been "tremendous" and that each tour stop has generated large numbers of attendees.
"We are seeing support in areas where I did not expect it," Leach said. "Locations in central and northern Louisiana had more that 100 in attendance. I think the effort is making a difference."
LDP Executive Director Renee Lapeyrolerie, a Reserve native, said the tour has been less about campaign initiatives and more about energizing the party and strengthening the organization at the local level.
"There are a lot of democrats being elected at the local level and St. John is certainly no exception," Lapeyrolerie said. "Local support is very valuable when a member of a community is looking to run for a statewide position. We are finding that boots on the ground beat dollars being spent in an election year." Leach said he was impressed by the local turnout during the LaPlace stop, which came right at noon on a weekday.
Parish President Natalie Robottom, Sheriff-elect Mike Tregre and various St. John council members were among those in attendance Friday.
"I think it can be difficult for some people to come out during a work week for an event like this," Leach said. "It is that show of support that can make a difference in October."


LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - The city of Lexington is receiving an award intended to assist those new to the United States.
New American Economy, a bipartisan research organization with more than 500 hundred mayors and business leaders, granted the Gateways for Growth award to cities across the country to provide research, technical assistance and other grant support.
"We're giving them information and research to understand better who immigrants are and the role that they play in the local economy," said Kate Brick, of the New American Economy. "Then with that we're also going to be working with them building off best practices."
Previously, the New American Economy organization worked with leaders in Louisville and Bowling Green. This is the first time the award has made it to Lexington.
"It's really exciting to see these communities in Kentucky starting to realize just how important and how deep that connection is between welcoming international talent and being successful locally," Brick said.
In addition to offering research and technical assistance in communities, the NAE advocates for policies that recognize the value that immigrants add.
They seek to highlight economic contributions that they make as well.

Aquaculture: from laboratory to village
Indian agricultural scientists obtain excellent results in their labs and experimental farms. But it is only when technology and techniques are successfully transferred to the village farmer that the payoff comes in the form of increased national production, rural prosperity and improved nutrition.
CIFA aquaculture extension chief Radheyshyam (left) gives farmer Nrushingh Charan Panda advice on how to set up a fish hatchery
The Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA) in Orissa State, eastern India, the largest such centre in the country, has achieved outstanding results in rearing carp in experimental ponds: 10 to 15 tonnes per hectare per year. But the average village farmer, even if he uses good fingerlings and fertilizes the pond with household waste, gets only 2 to 3 tonnes per hectare per year. Overcoming this type of yield gap is one of the greatest challenges of agricultural development.
The lush green coastal plain that stretches from the sprawling Institute complex of ponds and laboratories to the Bay of Bengal, 60 kilometres away, is dotted with villages. One of them is called Sarakana, home of 407 farm families with a population of 3 500.
In 1986, a disgruntled Sarakana farmer arrived in the office of Dr Radheyshyam, the head of training and extension at CIFA. The farmer had stocked a pond with commercially bought fish fry, but when he returned to harvest the pond there was nothing there. He felt cheated.
"I asked him if he was sure there was nothing in the pond. I had a hunch about what had gone wrong," said Radheyshyam. "We went to his village and I put something in the pond to kill off any predators that might be lurking there. A while later, predator fish were floating on the surface. No one had told the farmer that he had to prepare his pond carefully before stocking it. Predators, hidden in the mud on the pond bottom, had emerged and eaten all his fry."
With Radheyshyam's help, the farmer and a partner set out to grow fish in a scientific manner. Ten years later, Sarakana produces fish and, more importantly for the district, supplies quality fish seed to new fish farmers in nearby villages as well as advice on how to raise the fish.
"I don't sell to bad farmers," said Nrushingh Charan Panda through an interpreter. "If they don't prepare their ponds properly, the fry will die. Then they will blame me, saying I sell poor quality fry." The partners, who run 11 ponds and have built a cement-tank hatchery, say that they get ten to 15 customers a day for their fry.
In Sarakana, Nrushingh has provided work for his whole family, his wife and sisters taking care of supplementary feeding, manuring, digging and packing of seed. His sons and nephews do the heavier work like netting.
Villagers have a better diet now as well. "We eat fish three times a week now. Before we only ate it once a month. When there is a marriage in the area, we sell lots of fish," said the farmer, relaxing on the banks of one of his ponds.
The Institute, founded with extensive help from FAO, is counting on many more farmers like those of Sarakana to act as catalysts for a "Farmer-led Farmer Approach" to spreading effective and proven aquaculture technologies.

2021. WOMEN. IRAN.
2017. FUTURE. IRAN.
Interview with MAMI
Born in 1975 in Rasht, Iranian artist Mohammad Khodeshenas (nicknamed MAMI) was trained in graphic design, culminating in an undergraduate degree from the University of Tehran. Alongside numerous exhibitions all over Iran, including completing the workshops of filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, MAMI has held numerous exhibitions in Europe and in the Middle East. In Khodashenas' canvases, bright colors and text are layered with figural imagery like the faces of famous historical figures.
FBB. You have exhibited with some of the biggest street artists such as Mr. Brainwash. Tell us more about these projects.
It is my honour to have work with artists such as, Mr. Brainwash, Jean Michel Basquiat, Blekle Rat, Seen, Buff Monster and many more. A recent group exhibition with the same group of artists was held at Opera Gallery in Paris.
FBB. How would you classify your artistic style?
I rove through the city everyday while listening to the sound of nature. Then come back to my small studio to make new works. I scribble, scrawl and write pieces and draw images that are all shaped in my mind while I am walking through the city. I draw and write my thought on the works layered on each other. I do not follow any specific methods and also never define myself in one style. "Siah Mashgh' has a particular meaning to me: It is a daily drill of what you have experienced during life. This is my aesthetic philosophy.
FBB. What are you doing to grow as an Iranian artist today?
I cannot limit myself to just one community, I want to present my art out of the borders, all over the word, among different cultures, to see the reaction of others when watching them. I also need to be in touch with the free world to create freely, without the any supervision.
FBB. What are you working on at the moment, and what sorts of projects are you interested in pursuing?
Let me tell you about the projects I am working on. I am a music lover and it has been a long time I am working on a music project named "Heeto". In this project I record voices, sounds, and also improvise then finally mix them altogether. It is inspired by the Avant-garde, jazz music and also the mix of them with "Naghalli" that is a kind of religious Iranian narrating.
The second project of mine is about producing a line clothes mostly jeans that are influenced by my paintings. I wish I could present them in the near future.
FBB. You work has been recently selected and acquired to join the Fondation Behnam Bakhtiar's Permanent Collection. What message do you have to other Iranian artists who would like to have their works in permanent collections and shown in museums?
I really appreciate the Fondation Behnam-Bakhtiar which provided an opportunity for me to present my works on this level. I believe that the Fonndation Behnam-Bakhtiar is a good opportunity for the creative artists in Iran to be in touch with the professional artists all over the world.
FBB. Any interesting upcoming shows and projects in the pipeline?
Right now I am working on my incomplete projects and also a new collection of my works that will be presented soon. Finally, I wish I could perform my music "Heeto" in a suitable place.

The Nissan Murano is a stylish mid-size crossover SUV that pushed shoppers toward curvier tall-riding vehicles and set a new style direction.
Available in a slew of models—S, SV, SL, and Platinum, the Murano ranges from affordable to downright luxurious.
With the Murano, Nissan has an all-weather family utility vehicle that hits a sweet spot for many shoppers: it has a relatively thrifty V-6 engine, a continuously variable automatic (CVT), and available all-wheel drive.
The latest iteration of the Murano arrived last year with a very design-focused shape and some additional innovative features. For 2019, Nissan updated the Murano's styling and replaced its infotainment software.
With a major 2015 redesign, the Nissan Murano received striking new looks and a much-improved interior. A sweeping hood ties to a roofline that "floats" over a very small, third side window in the pillar. The tailgate is sharply raked and highly sculpted, with a long trailing roof spoiler at its top. Inside, it's all about comfort and luxury, with a long console that extends past the front seats to offer rear passengers their own charging options.
The Murano's powertrain is familiar. The SUV offers a 260-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine developing 240 pound-feet of torque, CVT, and either front- or all-wheel drive. Eventually, the Murano may get the hybrid technology from the Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60.
The Murano has the same "zero-gravity" seat design as the latest Altima and Maxima. It uses dense foam for comfort over long trips, which Nissan claims comes from NASA's fatigue-free neutral seating position. Nissan also says this Murano is supposed to be able to swallow four large suitcases with the rear seats in place.
The IIHS rated the Murano with its Top Safety Pick+ award before changing the criteria to include headlight efficiency and automatic emergency braking. Federal testers give the all-wheel-drive version five stars overall, four stars to the front-drive model.
Nissan also offers a full suite of standard and optional safety features, using data from as many as three separate radar systems and four cameras. Available safety systems include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, and a surround-view camera system.
The Murano also offers a long list of available features, including keyless ignition, leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, heated seats all around, and cooled front seats. Memory for the driver's seat, steering wheel, and mirror positions is also available. The NissanConnect infotainment and connectivity system is included, incorporating both navigation and mobile-connected apps. Premium Bose AM/FM/CD audio system with 11 speakers, HD Radio, and satellite radio are also on the options sheet.
For 2017, Nissan took the unusual step of offering a half-year model (officially a 2017.5) of the Murano that included broader Apple CarPlay compatibility and available automatic emergency braking.
The first-generation Murano model, sold from 2003 to 2007, had a pleasantly edgy, urban-friendly shape. Sized like its main competitors, the Ford Edge and the early Toyota Highlander, the Murano took the styling kudos. Mechanically, it also had an edge, with better steering and a more nimble feel, thanks to its family-plan architecture based on Nissan's well-received Altima four-door.
The first Murano's interior offered five-passenger seating and a decently roomy cargo area as well. Safety proved very good, with the crossover earning the federal government's top ratings for front and side-impact protection (under test criteria that have since changed).
Power in the first-generation Murano came from a 245-hp version of Nissan's corporate 3.5-liter V-6. The power flowed to front- or all-wheel drive via a CVT. While CVTs can improve fuel economy, they also generally add to powertrain noise and can be slow to respond to driver inputs. The Murano's CVT was easily the least attractive part of its package, though later versions have shown improvement.
After Nissan skipped the 2008 model year altogether, the 2009 Murano didn't differ too dramatically from the original underneath. The design changed nearly all for the better, though, save for a toothy grille slotted in up front. The running gear migrated to the fourth-generation Nissan Altima platform, and the powertrain was updated to 265 hp (it's now rated at 260 hp). The CVT was upgraded to include programmed "gears" that gave the transmission the feel of an automatic gearbox, with paddle shifters enabling driver choice of the ratios.
Nissan expanded the Murano family for 2012 with the unusual CrossCabriolet convertible. Nissan also spun off a new 2013 Pathfinder seven-seat crossover along with a similar Infiniti JX35 seven-seater—which got a new name, Infiniti QX60, for 2014—all from the same basic architecture. For 2013, Nissan added a few features and options, and made several active-safety systems available, including object detection, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning.
After very weak sales, the Murano CrossCabriolet was dropped at the end of the 2014 model year.
-noisier than my 2003 tundra. Figured it would have less road noise from reviews I read. It's ok but not quietest SUV I have been in.
I would recommend this car.
Biggest beef is wish it was quieter.

"Hilton Barcelona" is een nummer van de Nederlandse zanger Stef Bos. Het nummer werd uitgebracht op zijn album Vuur uit 1994. Dat jaar werd het nummer uitgebracht als de tweede single van het album.

Achtergrond
De tekst van "Hilton Barcelona" is geschreven door Bos, terwijl de muziek is geschreven door Francis Wildemeersch en Marcel De Boeck. De Boeck speelde tevens de accordeon, de keyboards en de piano op het nummer, terwijl Wildemeersch de gitaar bespeelde. De inspiratie voor het nummer kwam nadat Bos op uitnodiging van zijn platenbaas Hans Kusters naar Barcelona reisde, waar hij logeerde in het Hilton Hotel. Het gaat over een getrouwde zakenman die in dit hotel in een dronken bui seks heeft met een prostitué en er direct spijt van heeft.

Er bestaan twee versies van "Hilton Barcelona". Bos liet de teksten van beide versies afdrukken in de tekst bij zijn verzamelalbum Alles wat was. De teksten van deze versies zijn grotendeels hetzelfde, alhoewel de coupletten in een totaal andere volgorde staan. Het nummer werd weliswaar uitgebracht als single, maar bereikte nergens de hitlijsten. Desondanks bleek het een populair nummer; in Nederland stond het van 1999 tot 2013 jaarlijks in de NPO Radio 2 Top 2000, waar het in 2003 de hoogste notering behaalde op plaats 785.

A busy winter of ringette cut short
Randy Pascal
The ringette season ended early, which is not to suggest that the likes of Avery Blanchard, Kylee Lapalme, Jessica Willis and Zoey Landry were not kept busy this past winter.
Not only were the local quartet key components of Team Northeast which competed at the 2020 Ontario Winter Games in Orillia, but they also gathered on a regular basis, with a host of teammates from Sudbury, Walden, Valley East, and even North Bay, all members of the Sudbury U19 "A" ringette team.
Local product Erika Poirier was also part of the Ontario Winter Games squad, but opted to compete with the Richmond Hill "AA" competitive team this year at the provincial level.
"We're a really close group of girls who have been playing together for a long time," noted Blanchard, speaking to a core of talent with the U19 "A" crew. "More than half of us here have played together. The team bonding at practices, and even outside of practices, is important."
"Off the ice and on the ice, you have to have that trust. We all feel connected."
The friendships would come in handy, as the Northeast crew struggled to find the win column in Orillia, even as the local contingent were figuring notably in the offensive production of the team.
Both Mayer and Blanchard found the back of the net as the Northeast reps suffered an opening game 8-5 loss to Team United. Blanchard and Poirier were among the four goals scorers in a 10-4 loss to Team Southern, with Mayer chipping in with an assist.
Poirier netted her second tally of the tournament as Northeast closed out the event versus Team Eastern, with Zoey Landry drawing an assist on that goal. And though the going is tough when the girls face what is effectively the top "AAA" talent from across Ontario, their return to the Sudbury team pits them more regularly against adversaries who are more their equal.
"I think, with this (Sudbury) team, we have to play our game and not drop down to the level of some of the teams," said Blanchard. "We have to be the team I know that we are. There are definitely teams around our skill, teams that are right with us."
Joining head coach Sarah Ciammaichella and assistant coaches Sam Odorizzi and Jessica Honse behind the bench, Desiree Leclair is grappling with the challenges that come when one makes the move from player to coach.
"Not being able to do it myself is the toughest thing," said Leclair. "Even if it's in my head, trying to communicate it with them, getting them to understand what I am trying to get them to do, is not easy."
A 24 year-old native of Valley East who played competitively in levels ranging from "A" to "AAA", Leclair is encouraged with what she is seeing of this Sudbury team that she worked with for the very first time this year.
"There is a lot of talent on this team, with individuals coming from different groups," stressed Leclair. "They are starting to mesh as the season goes on. They all bring something different to the team. They know what we expect from them, and they communicate well with each other about what they want."
"They want to win, they want to learn, and they want to have fun."
The roster for the Sudbury U19 ringette team includes Amanda Mayer, Avery Blanchard, Bobbie-Ann McCulloch, Cydney Tinkham, Jessica Willis, Kaitlin Pace, Kaitlyn Hinksman, Katrina Locking, Kylee Lapalme, Kristin O'Brien, Madison Laframboise, Megan Watson, Mel Brouse, Taylor Gilchrist and Zoey Landry.

The S5 especially manages to straddle two worlds, of fully comfort-oriented fashions and people aimed for greater-efficiency pegs. From the driver's seat it's a versatile, spirited touring automobile—one which's particularly nimble and succesful. The quattro all-wheel-drive system aids this, beginning with a power cut up that sends 60 p.c of the power break up to the rear wheels—which helps with handling yet permits all-climate capability. Brakes are robust, and the 3.0T engine sounds great.

A Peek Behind the Curtains: The PiKoYa Games Network
Rate this Article Find out more about the network that's supplying you with your daily dose of games – the PiKoYa Game Network!
Humans have an innate curiosity that can sometimes be pretty intense when it comes to issues that are close to their hearts. Our readers, being human and all, showed this curious behavior as well. After long last, we have finally decided that it's time to pull back the curtains and introduce you all to the games network that had made all of these possible... The PiKoYa Games Network!
Regardless of which genre of games you enjoy playing, be it casual match-3 games or something much more hardcore, like MMOs, the PiKoYa Games Network has something for you! Grouped under the PiKoYa Content division, the Network itself is consisted of over 25 game review sites, but if you consider sites that are in languages other than English, that number will definitely be at least 30 or more.
Each site has content that is specially designed to cater to different types of players. For example, MMO gamers tend to flock to our MMO game review site, MMOSquare, as well as our other MMO-related sites like Appstoplay that contains the best mobile MMOs; PlayMMOFPS which features MMO shooter games only; PlayMMORTS that houses all the best online strategy games; GamesTough which is tailored for hardcore yet semi-MMO (or non-MMO) games like tower defense, and SandboxWorlds where you can search for fun and free sandbox MMOs in addition to sandbox virtual world games.
On the other hand, fans of match-3, puzzles and bubble-shooting can enjoy finding and playing games that they love via Gamesparkles and Freegames.guru (for casual games on mobile) while detectives in the making can have fun playing various investigative hidden object games on MysteryVale. We even offer virtual world and simulation games on VirtualWorldsLand, which includes both 2D and 3D virtual world games; VirtualWorldGames3D (only 3D... with a few exceptions) and FarmGamesFree that contains only farm games for those virtual farmers at heart! For players who love playing games in some of the more obscure niches like mahjong, solitaire, word and poker games, they can also head on over to MahjongInn, SolitaireVale, WordGamesFun and PokerWorldz respectively.
We even set up a game review site for "the future of gaming" a.k.a. virtual reality games, VirtualRealityGamesFree (called VRGF for short), a centralized portal for all online game news, Gamescoops, as well as fan sites for specific games like Criminal Case and Tanki X. Of course, if you happen to be one of "those sort" who just love playing almost all types of games, you could also check out one of our most ambitious projects to date – a database/website containing comprehensive game reviews of all the best online games, WWGDB! You can actually take a look at the list of sites that made up the PiKoYa Games Network through our centralized game portal, GamesLands.com.
This immense and perhaps even mycelium-like network is being fed on a constant basis by our team of professional game reviewers – people with plenty of experience with games and are incredibly passionate about games - from all corners of the world. In a way, our difference in culture and experiences, our different preferences for certain games and our common love of games have helped us to produce some of our best works. Some of our reviews are even cited by the game companies themselves!
Like most game sites though, in order to provide the best quality content to you, and to make sure our writers can pay their bills and rents, we also help game developers and companies to further promote their games on our sites through our marketing branch in the company in an effort to reach gamers who will truly enjoy the games that they've produced. It's pretty much a win-win situation where we can get the funds to maintain the sites for our dear readers while we can help use the common factor – games – to link you to the games company that we are working with.
Now that you now know more about the company and the people behind the websites you've bookmarked and loved, we would also like to thank you all for your support. We hope you'd stay awhile and discover your next favorite game with us at the PiKoYa Games Network.
