Omicron variant found in nearly one-third of U.S. states
December 5, 2021, 5:53 p.m.
Health officials on Sunday said the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has spread to about one-third of U.S. states.
But U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy sought to reassure the public that Biden Administration was prepared to confront the newest mutation of a global disease.
"The president announced, were much stronger measures to expand our booster campaign. We're going to have millions of reminders sent out to seniors, many more appointments set up by pharmacies and hundreds of family clinics so kids and adults can get vaccinated together. There was also an expansion of testing, 50 million free tests that will be sent out private insurance coverage for tests starting in Jan."
And speaking on CNN, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, reassured that when it comes to Omicron, "thus far it does not look like there's a great degree of severity to it" but he added that it was too early to draw definitive conclusions and more study is needed.
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb agreed that it was too early to say how dangerous Omicron may be, in part because most of the data, out of South Africa, is from Omicron cases in people who already survived the Delta variant.
"We don't know whether or not this new strain is inherently less virulent, so it's a more moderate strain of COVID - it's not causing us severe illness - or whether it's presenting that way simply because it's infecting people who already have some pre-existing immunity, so they have some protection from COVID. So they're getting infected, but they're not gettin as sick."
Many of the cases in the U.S. so far were among fully vaccinated individuals with mild symptoms, although the booster shot status of some patients was not reported.
According to a Reuters tally, the U.S. over the last seven days has averaged 119,000 new cases a day. Over that same period, the virus has killed almost 1,300 people per day.

President Joe Biden called on U.S. mayors on Friday to use more of their state and local COVID-19 aid funds to boost worker training and pay child care workers, moves that could increase the supply of workers and reduce income inequality. Biden said in remarks to the United States Conference of Mayors to use American Rescue Plan resources to "build for a better future around the people who make communities run." "Use your funds to cover child care costs, or temporary paid leave to help certain workers dealing with Omicron," Biden said.

Hair today, not gone tomorrow
D209 sticks with barber/beauty school despite imperfections
by Michael Romain August 21, 2019 January 28, 2021
POISED FOR GROWTH?: A District 209 student works on hair at Erskine Reeves Barber Academy in Hillside in 2016, as part of the barber and cosmetology program. Officials said they may scale up the program in the future. | Photo provided
During a regular meeting on Aug. 6, the Proviso Township High Schools District 209 Board of Education unanimously agreed to continue a cosmetology and barbering program that board members admitted has so far gotten little bang for the buck.
The program is such an excellent opportunity for the small group of students who stick it out, district officials said, they're willing to work out some of the kinks so more students can take advantage of the experience.
The board voted unanimously to renew two-year agreements with Miss Robert's Beauty Academy, where cosmetology students take courses, and Erskine Reeves Barber Academy, where barber students take courses. Both schools are in Hillside.
The cosmetology and barbering program was created in 2014, when 20 cosmetology and 10 barber students enrolled. Twenty students — 10 at Proviso East and 10 at Proviso West — have enrolled in the program each year since then.
Students at East and West are allowed to enroll in the two-year program during their junior year if they meet certain qualifications and secure a recommendation from their counselor. They take core academic courses in the morning before attending the academies in the afternoon. Instruction lasts until 5:30 p.m.
Tuition, which is $6,200 per student, is fully covered by D209. Students only have to pay for the cosmetic kits that include necessary equipment such as styling brushes, blow dryers, clippers and shears.
Before a recent change in state law, the students had to earn 2,000 credit hours before they were eligible to sit for a licensure examination, which meant that they'd have to take the exam after graduating high school.
Among the first cohort of 30 students in 2016, roughly half of the barbering students completed the program while little more than 40 percent of cosmetology students did so, district data shows.
In 2019, however, 100 percent of cosmetology students and roughly 80 percent of barber students completed the program. The average completion rate of the cosmetology and barber students over four years is 70 percent, with 16 students licensed and 18 preparing to take the licensure exam this summer. Around 40 percent of students who have completed the program over the course of its four-year existence have gone on to acquire licenses.
Nicole Howard, the district's assistant superintendent for Academics and Student and Family Services, said during the Aug. 6 meeting that 21 students at East and West are interested in the barber and cosmetology program in the fall.
But 21 students in a district of more than 4,000 is a drop in the bucket. Add in the costs — paying $6,200 a piece for 21 students amounts to around $130,000 — and the low licensure rate, and some board members were openly questing the wisdom of the investment.
Howard said district officials conducted site visits and spoke with students, customers, staff and other stakeholders before concluding that the program has value.
"The students received more than just training to become cosmetologists and barbers," Howard said. "They also got training in entrepreneurship, building self-esteem, a sense of purpose [and] learning how to deal with customers."
"I think it's a great opportunity," said board member Claudia Medina. "I just think that it's such a small amount of students being impacted and a lot of funds being allocated."
"I think it's an excellent program for the kids who go through it," said board member Della Patterson. "But if we have 4,000 kids and only 21 are in the program [I don't think that's very equitable]."
D209 Supt. Jesse Rodriguez said the district has no plans to eliminate the program; instead, the district will work to scale the program up so more students can take advantage of it. In the future, officials said, they might try locating the schools on-site in an effort to contain costs and bring the program in closer alignment with other vocational training.
Howard added that a recent change in state law that only requires 1,500 credit hours before aspiring barbers and cosmetologists can sit for their licensure exams should increase the program's licensure rate, since that means students will still be in high school, and within a supportive environment, by the time they're eligible to test.
Going forward, Howard said, the district will limit participation in the program only to students who are the most motivated to finish it and pursue careers in barbering and cosmetology. Previously, the district had established a minimum of 20 students per cohort.
"This allows us to save money on students [who in the past] we pushed and motivated because we wanted to fill seats," Howard said.

Prior to joining the real estate industry, Josh began his sales and marketing career 15 years ago in San Francisco, in the Dot Com arena. He quickly established himself as an asset to both small and large companies, developing and managing sales/marketing processes for both internal and external sales teams.
Josh's first venture, Zip2 Corporation (Elon Musk/1997) focused primarily on utilizing local newspapers as a vehicle to direct online traffic to local businesses (nationwide). On-line advertising was in its infancy and media ventures such as Knight Ridder Communications helped blaze the trail by partnering with Zip2 to create new channels through which small business owners could discover new business opportunities.
Following Zip2, Josh joined Oracle Corporation's Dot Com Database team. Eventually, Josh's entrepreneurial spirit drew him back into the start-up arena, where he joined Versata Inc. (App. Dev. Software). There, Josh lead the inside sales organization for North America.
After several years in high tech, Josh decided to seek out new business opportunities. His always present and ever-growing passion for architecture and design lead him to Los Angeles and, in turn, into the real estate industry. For the last eleven years, Josh has brought his sales/marketing experience and internet savvy to the business of buying and selling homes. Leveraging the internet and on-line social networking is essential in today's evolving housing market.
Josh also goes where his clients need him to go. There are a vast number of micro-markets throughout Los Angeles. Knowing how to define value in each of them, is integral to Josh's ability to help his client's transition from one area to another.
Since Josh's foray into real estate, he has been a member of both Jade Mill's team at Coldwell Banker and Prudential's Architectural Division. Respectively, these experiences introduced myriad challenges. "Every experience informs and broadens the next."
Josh has been with The Agency since its inception. He is the Director of the Residential Division.
"You have to be everywhere and see everything. Most importantly, you must listen to your clients. What are their needs? How can you make their lives simpler? Helping someone buy or sell a property is just the beginning. Stand by and service your clients the way you would expect to serviced. I am there where ever, whenever my clients need me. This is what distinguishes my practice. Unparalleled customer service."

Die Caraquet Railway war eine Eisenbahngesellschaft in der kanadischen Provinz New Brunswick. Sie wurde am 18. April 1874 gegründet und beabsichtigte, die Ausbeutung der letzten Urwaldbestände der Provinz zu ermöglichen und die Fischerorte am Sankt-Lorenz-Golf an das Eisenbahnnetz anzubinden. Die Eisenbahnstrecke schloss in Gloucester Junction an die Intercolonial Railway an und wurde Mitte der 1880er Jahre gebaut. Spätestens 1887 war die Strecke bis Caraquet in Betrieb, wahrscheinlich jedoch schon bis zur Golfküste in Shippigan. Die Gesamtlänge der in Normalspur gebauten Strecke betrug etwa 108 Kilometer.

Die Bahn hatte mehrere Unglücke zu verkraften. Das bis dahin schwerste in New Brunswick ereignete sich am 17. Dezember 1887, kurz nach Eröffnung der Bahn, westlich von Caraquet. Ein Zug mit Schneepflug, der von Caraquet nach Gloucester Junction unterwegs war, stürzte in den Caraquet River, nachdem Treibeis die Brücke über den Fluss verschoben hatte. Acht Personen kamen dabei ums Leben. Im Jahr darauf, am 4. August 1888, brannte das Bahnhofsgebäude in East Bathurst ab. Das gleiche Schicksal ereilte eine Brücke bei Burnsville, die durch Funkenflug eines benachbarten Sägewerkes in Brand geriet.

Die Gulf Shore Railway hatte Ende der 1880er Jahre eine Zweigstrecke nach Tracedie eröffnet, die in Pokemouche Junction von der Caraquet Railway abzweigte. Die beiden Gesellschaften fusionierten am 13. April 1911 zur Caraquet and Gulf Shore Railway, die 1920 in den Canadian National Railways aufging. Die Strecke ist seit 1989 bis auf den sieben Kilometer langen Abschnitt Gloucester Junction–East Bathurst stillgelegt. Dieser Abschnitt wird heute durch die New Brunswick East Coast Railway bedient.

Published October 29, 2017 Disclosure: We may receive compensation if you sign up for or purchase products linked to below. We try our best to provide the most accurate information, but details do change. Please refer to the company website for the most up-to-date information on any lead or recommendation.
Many times, when you're just starting out on your work-at-home career path, you simply don't have any money to invest on the adventure. Customer service jobs are widely available, but what if you don't have a headset and can't afford one? (That's why you need a job, after all, to earn an income for things like headsets and bills and cat food.) Those jobs often require a landline as well, and it seems like the majority of us skate by with mobile phones only these days.
Well, I'm here to tell you not to worry – there are plenty of options available to you that don't require any significant investment on your part to get started! Let's go through 8 jobs that could work for you.
We're starting with the most obvious one – as long as you have a brain and good language skills, you're set to become a freelance writer. Yes, you'll need a computer to be able to do this from home, but that's true of any remote job – and I'm operating under the assumption that you have at least a laptop. With writing, that's all you need; you don't even have to buy any particular word processing software, these days! There's plenty of freeware in the market that integrate well with Microsoft Word, so even if your clients are using Microsoft products, you don't have to. You can use Google Docs or LibreOffice.
Where to find writing jobs: check FlexJobs or this big list.
Springing off from freelance writing above, you can also offer your services as an editor or proofreader without needing any particular equipment. You can use the same freeware I mention above, and this is even something you can do from a tablet if you don't have access to a home PC or laptop. Beyond that, all you need is an excellent command of English grammar and spelling (or skills in whichever language you're proofreading and editing in). Depending on what you're editing, you may need to understand what makes a story good or how to build a compelling argument. Either way, though, it's all about brainpower and knowledge more than equipment.
Where to find editing jobs: check out companies like Scribendi and ProofreadingServices.com.
Brands of every size need someone to manage their social media these days, and it doesn't cost the manager anything at all. All you need is a solid understanding of various social media services and how they work – be familiar with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn to have the strongest offering of services. Your job may be made easier with access to certain scheduling apps which might require a subscription fee, but that's a bill footed by your clients (although, sure, you could pay for it yourself and then add a surcharge to your fees). However, there are free options for scheduling apps out there! Sprout Social and Edgar may be fantastically robust, but Buffer and HootSuite offer great support for free!
Where to find social media management jobs: check out FlexJobs.
Where brands and companies interact with customers and fans online, there's plenty of room for negative comments, abusive speech, or other unwanted interactions. To protect the community against bad behavior, moderators are needed: they monitor comments on websites and social media, check brand reputation on social media, respond to happy and unhappy customers, ensure the rules are being followed… and all this takes is the investment of your time (like any job). You don't need any specialized equipment, and your client should provide you with logins to any software or apps you need to do your job.
Where to find moderator jobs: try companies like ModSquad, ICUC, or Lithium.
With so much commerce taking place online these days, it's important to search engines that their search processes are optimized and working correctly – it's equally important they ensure the ads running are relevant and effective as well. Search engine or ad evaluators perform Internet searches as instructed and evaluate the results – guess what you need to do this job? Nothing that you have to pay for! (Obviously apart from the home computer and Internet access you should already have.) You just need an Internet browser.
Where to find search engine or ad evaluator jobs: go after positions with Leapforce, Lionbridge, or Appen.
There are companies out there that want your research skills – which is especially great for recent college students who have had research practice hammered into them recently! You can find both companies and individuals who need help tracking down data and putting that information into an easily readable – and understandable! – form. You'll find that you can research pretty widely and deeply via the Internet these days, especially if you're researching trends in popular topics or specific product types. And while you're getting paid for using nothing but the Internet and your research and writing skills, you're also learning something new.
Where to find research jobs: Wonder is frequently hiring, or you could check Flexjobs.
If you know any programming languages – from SQL and Java to Python and C++, there is a remote job out there for you! And it doesn't require more than the computer and Internet access you already have. You'll need a code editor, of course, but there are plenty of freeware options out there – on Windows, you might use Notepad++ while on a Chromebook, you'll use Caret. At some point, it's likely you'll need a compiler or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to translate your source code into machine language, and you'll find there are some excellent freeware options out there to support you in this, too – from Dev-C++ to PyDev and more, depending on what you're coding.
Where to find coding jobs: search Dice or Flexjobs.
Do you know what a Virtual Assistant does? If you're thinking "basically everything," you're correct! Sometimes "basically everything" might require some special equipment but, more often than not, it doesn't. You can call clients, set up appointments, sort email, write blog posts, do online research, update social media accounts, and more with nothing but your computer and Internet connection. (Yes, being a virtual assistant bleeds over into many of the job types listed above.) If your clients need anything more specific, they'll often have accounts on paid software that you can use to do the work – costing you nothing.
Where to find virtual assistant jobs: look into companies Worldwide101, Vicky Virtual, TimeEtc, and Fancy Hands.
Ready to get started on that home-based workflow now? Good! Hit the ground running, and you'll have an income in no time – with no investment on your part. Now drop into the comments and tell me all about it!

2016 Season, Latest News and Updates
Boys Medal at Festival Regatta
The Northampton Community Rowing squad arrived early in Lowell on Sunday for what would be a beautiful day of racing. Hosted by the Merrimack River Rowing Association, the Festival Regatta is a day-long, six-lane race, with events for both youth and masters. The conditions in Lowell over the weekend were sunny and bright, with a slight crosswind that picked up during the day.
The youth started below the Rourke Bridge to run a 2K course that took them past the UMass Lowell Bellegarde Boathouse, where the event was hosted, and up to a finish line between Lowell Heritage State Park and Sheehy Park Extension.
The masters raced 1K along the same course, starting upstream of the bridge and racing to the same finish post.
Hamp Crew's first race of the day was the mens jr. 4+: Chris West, Kedar Seetal, Dylan Walter, and Theo King, coxed by Felix King. They set a high bar for the day, rowing a 7:25.03 to place first and medal against a field of Westford-Littleton boats.
Womens masters 8+ flight 2, which pitted Northampton B and Northampton A against the CRI C boat, was the first masters race. The NCR boats put in a good fight, but were squeaked out by the CRI crew and finished second and third.
In the womens jr. 4+ flight at 12:25, a crew of Skylar Nieman, A. Jewett, Grace Schiaffo, N. Nixon, and cox Will Konieczny placed a solid third behind Essex and Westford-Littleton C with a time of 8:48.47.
In the afternoon races, the wind picked up slightly and recreational boaters caused a bit of disruption on the course. The Northampton C womens masters 4+ placed fourth in their flight (4:11.67), while Northampton A and B placed second and third in theirs, at 6.60 seconds and 12.37 seconds behind the CRI C leader.
Find the full regatta results here.
The masters next race at the The 14th annual Lawrence Celebration Regatta on Saturday, July 9 in Lawrence, MA.
The next youth learn-to-row program is June 27-July 1 (9:00 a.m. to noon from Monday to Friday). Find out more and register here.
Youth advanced sweep and sculling classes begin on July 11 and will run until August 19, Monday through Thursday, 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Bushnell Way
School principals don't usually get much love, but Rose Jane Bushnell (1879-1960) was an exception. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Bushnell first came to Los Angeles in 1907 for a national teachers' convention. In 1912, she began her long tenure as principal at Hermon Elementary School; she and her sister Mary (1878-1941), who also worked at Hermon, lived together on nearby Wheeling Way. As the story goes, the community wanted to name the school for one or both of the Bushnells, but the school district wouldn't allow it unless the street the school sat on already had the Bushnell name. So the community made it happen. If true, the process took years: Isleta Drive was rechristened Bushnell Way in 1925, but Hermon School didn't become Bushnell Way School until 1944, when Rose Bushnell retired. Smashing side note: In 1928, the Bushnell sisters' house was partly destroyed by a runaway steam shovel. They received a $4,300 settlement two years later.

Q: Integral with exponential function Could you please help me in solving the following integration. Thank you in advance.
Integrate[((Sqrt[g*(x + h)/y])^V) * Exp[-u * Sqrt[g*(x + h)/y]/n] * Exp[-L*x], {x, 0, Infinity}]

A: I assumed the parameters are positive real numbers.  One could simplify things a little by replacing g/y by a and u/n by b — the more parameters, the harder you make it for Mathematica.
Integrate evaluates in the special case h = 0, but not for other values of h tested.
Clear[g, L, x, h, y, V, n, u];
Block[{h = 0},
 Integrate[((Sqrt[g*(x + h)/y])^V)*Exp[-u*Sqrt[g*(x + h)/y]/n]*
   Exp[-L*x], {x, 0, Infinity},
  Assumptions -> V > 0 && g > 0 && u > 0 && n > 0 && L > 0 && y > 0]
 ]
(*
(2^(-1 - V) ((L y)/g)^(-V/2)
  Gamma[2 + V] HypergeometricU[1 + V/2, 1/2, (g u^2)/(4 L n^2 y)])/L
*)

It evaluates if only V is given numeric values (in all tests):
Block[{g, h, V = 3, L, n, u, y},
 Integrate[((Sqrt[g*(x + h)/y])^V)*Exp[-u*Sqrt[g*(x + h)/y]/n]*
   Exp[-L*x], {x, 0, Infinity},
  Assumptions ->
   V > 0 && g > 0 && u > 0 && n > 0 && L > 0 && y > 0 && h > 0]
 ]

The remaining cases probably cannot be done.

* `MustHaveHappened()` (no arguments) asserts that the call was made 1 or more times, and
* `MustNotHaveHappened()` asserts that the specified call did not happen at all.

Arguments are constrained using
[Argument Constraints](argument-constraints.md) just like when
configuring calls.

# Syntax

```csharp
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappened();
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustNotHaveHappened();

A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedOnceExactly();
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedOnceOrMore();
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedOnceOrLess();

A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedTwiceExactly();
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedTwiceOrMore();
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedTwiceOrLess();

A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappened(4, Times.Exactly);
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappened(6, Times.OrMore);
A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappened(7, Times.OrLess);

A.CallTo(() => foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappenedANumberOfTimesMatching(n => n % 2 == 0);
```

# Asserting Calls Made with Mutable Arguments

When FakeItEasy records a method (or property) call, it remembers
which objects were used as argument, but does not take a snapshot of
the objects' state. This means that if an object is changed after
being used as an argument, but before argument constraints are
checked, expected matches may not happen. For example,

```csharp
var aList = new List<int> {1, 2, 3};

A.CallTo(() => myFake.SaveList(A<List<int>>._))
    .Returns(true);

myFake.SaveList(aList);
aList.Add(4);

A.CallTo(() => myFake.SaveList(A<List<int>>.That.IsThisSequence(1, 2, 3)))
    .MustHaveHappend();
```

The `MustHaveHappened` will fail, because at the time the
`IsThisSequence` check is made, `aList` has 4 elements, not 3, and
`IsThisSequence` only has the reference to `aList` to use in its
check, not a deep copy or some other form of snapshot—it has to work
with the _current_ state.

If your test or production code must mutate call arguments between the
time of the call and the assertion time, you must look for some other
way to verify the call. Perhaps using `IsSameAs` will suffice, if the
correct behavior of the System Under Test can otherwise be
inferred. Or consider using [Invokes](invoking-custom-code.md) to
create a snapshot of the object and interrogate it later:

```csharp
var aList = new List<int> {1, 2, 3};

List<int> capturedList;
A.CallTo(() => myFake.SaveList(A<List<int>>._))
    .Invokes((List<int> list) => capturedList = new List<int>(list))
    .Returns(true);

myFake.SaveList(aList);
aList.Add(4);

Assert.That(capturedList, Is.EqualTo(new List<int> {1, 2, 3}));
```

# More advanced assertions

If the built-in assertion API isn't sufficient, you can also examine the list of recorded calls directly, as described in [Getting the list of calls made on a fake](advanced-usage.md#getting-the-list-of-calls-made-on-a-fake).

# VB.NET

```
' Functions and Subs can be asserted using their respective keywords
A.CallTo(Function() foo.Bar()).MustHaveHappened()
A.CallTo(Sub() foo.Baz(A(Of String).Ignored)).MustHaveHappened()
```

Vastavam web: President Donald Trump will announce America's new strategy in Afghanistan today, amid reports that his administration could be mulling a role for India in ending the brutal and costly conflict, the US' longest war.Trump will make his first prime-time broadcast to the nation as president at 9 pm (6:30 am IST, Tuesday) to unveil his new plan after a lengthy period of deliberations to end nearly 16 years long war in Afghanistan. The president will "provide an update on the path forward for America's engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said.
The much-awaited policy announcement comes eight months after Trump became the US president and after criticism from some US lawmakers that he was struggling to make a decision.Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, had announced his Afghan policy in the first 100 days of his office.On Friday, Trump had a meeting with national security officials at Camp David to discuss the Afghan strategy. On Saturday, he tweeted: "Important day spent at Camp David with our very talented Generals and military leaders. Many decisions made, including on Afghanistan." While Obama's policy focused primarily on Afghanistan and Pakistan, reports said the Trump administration looked into possibilities for a role for India during its policy review.
Months ago, the Pentagon had settled on a plan to send approximately 3,800 additional troops to help strengthen the Afghan Army, which is stuck in what some call a deteriorating stalemate with the Taliban insurgency.Trump delegated authority to adjust troop levels to Mattis early in his administration, but he has been presented by the Pentagon with a range of options for the path forward, including a complete troop withdrawal and the deployment of up to 4,000 more soldiers to add to the more than 8,000 American forces that are already there.
Hopes that the US could finally leave Afghanistan have been checked by the Afghan government's struggle to preserve order under a resurgent challenge from the Taliban and inroads made by extremist groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Haqqani network.Following the 2001 September 11 attacks, the US-led an invasion of Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban and al-Qaeda.According to fatalities monitoring website icasualties.org, 3,539 coalition soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since 2001, including 2,403 Americans, 455 British and 681 others.This year, the Taliban offensive against the West-backed government in Kabul increased this summer.Reports said the the insurgent group in an "open letter" to Trump last week reiterated its calls for the withdrawal of all remaining US troops from Afghanistan.


Chiropractic care has been proven to provide patients suffering from a wide range of ailments and musculoskeletal conditions relief from pain, better range of motion, and a better quality of life. Yet, so many people who can benefit from chiropractic treatments never think to be seen by a chiropractor Wilmington NC. Southeastern Healthcare has experienced chiropractors that can help you live a more comfortable life.
If you're still unsure about what benefits a chiropractor can provide you with, then here are ten of the most common ways chiropractic treatments help our patients.
Neck and low back pain are among the most common reasons why people undergo chiropractic treatments. These patients see chiropractors because the treatments not only work, they also cost about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy. The results are clinically proven. In a study published by the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, it was found that patients suffering from chronic low-back pain showed greater improvement and satisfaction after one month of chiropractic treatments than patients who were treated by family physicians over that same time period.
Sciatica is a very painful condition caused by nerves being pinched in the lower back. And, it is another one of the top reasons why people seek out chiropractic care. In a recent clinical study, the European Spine Journal determined that chiropractic adjustments delivered a 72 percent success rate in treating sciatica and its associated symptoms compared to just a 20 percent success rate from physical therapy.
For so many patients suffering from neurological conditions, help is random at best. But, recent studies indicate that upper cervical spine adjustments can have beneficial effects on various brain-based conditions. After receiving adjustments, patient MRI scans show that cerebral spinal fluid and blood flow are substantially increased while cerebellar invagination and brain plaquing (common in multiple sclerosis patients) is actually being reversed!
Migraine sufferers account for the second largest patient group for chiropractors and it's not hard to see why. In a recent group trial, it was determined that 22 percent of migraine sufferers saw their number of headaches drop by 90 percent after receiving chiropractic treatments and nearly half said their headaches, when they did have them, were significantly less painful.
In 2012, the Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics published a study in which it was found that chiropractic care can help reduce the severity colic symptoms and ear infections in children. In fact, many children experienced a complete to near complete resolution after just a few treatment sessions.
Frozen shoulder is another name for adhesive capsulitis, a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in one's shoulder joint. It is a condition that most commonly affects women who are recovering from a medical condition or procedure that prevents the patient from moving her arm, most often a stroke or mastectomy. In a recent clinical trial consisting of 50 patients, 16 recovered fully, 25 experienced a 75 to 90 percent improvement, and 8 showed 50 to 75 percent improvement. Only one patient experienced less than 50 percent improvement.
George Bakris is considered the world's expert on hypertension, and in 2007, he published a study in the Human Journal of Hypertension that showed that just one chiropractic adjustment of the upper cervical spine delivered the same effect as two blood pressure-lowering drugs. But, the key difference was the effects of the one adjustment lasted more than six months.
Chiropractic care has been used around the globe for centuries as a natural means of preventing surgeries on the back. The Journal of the American Medical Association even advises doctors who treat people suffering from back pain to have their patients first try chiropractic treatments before resorting to back surgery.
Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to curve. It occurs most often during a child's growth spurt right before they reach puberty. According to Dr. Dennis Woggon of the Clear Institute, specific chiropractic adjustments coupled with muscular rehabilitation techniques can be beneficial in preventing the progression of this condition. The Clear Institute's treatments have made it is possible for many patients to avoid restrictive braces or dangerous surgeries.
So many professional athletes make chiropractic care a regular part of their health and wellness routines because it provides them with a wide range of athletic performance improving benefits. Studies have proven that chiropractic treatments can help boost the immune system, relieves muscle tension, enhances mental clarity, improves flexibility, improves pulmonary function, increases overall energy, and decreases mental and physical stresses.
If you are suffering from pain and you've never been to a chiropractor Wilmington NC, then you should talk to your doctor to see if a chiropractor might be able to provide you with some relief. Or, just call Southeastern Healthcare and we'll schedule you an appointment with one of our experienced chiropractors. Don't let your pain get the better of you. Relief is possible without the use of addictive medications and risky surgeries.
Call Southeastern Healthcare today at 910-202-4341 to schedule an appointment with one of our chiropractor Wilmington NC. We are here for you. With six locations throughout the Wilmington area, we have an office conveniently close to you.

Effective medical cleaning of a hospital or doctor's office is one of the most important ways that these two places can effectively prevent disease. The rate at which disease spreads in a hospital is incredible, and nearly every surface is at risk. Interestingly, one study found that many doctors were spreading disease around the hospital they worked at when they shared their smart phones. Fifty percent of phones at the hospital had at least one species of bacteria, and 40 percent had at least two species! While not all bacteria are harmless, 5 percent of the phones involved in the study did carry pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria, and that is more than enough to kick-start an outbreak at a hospital. That's why it's so important to select a cleaning company that specializes in medical cleaning and not just commercial cleaning.
Medical cleaning is vastly different both in scope and in process than traditional commercial cleaning. Medical cleaning involves different equipment and cleaning supplies, staff training, and even the types of work garments that medical cleaning staff wear are different. During proper medical cleaning, it is imperative that all surfaces are cleaned, especially high traffic ones such as tables, phones, door handles, and light switches. A commercial cleaning company will likely clean floors, windows, and perhaps the tables, desks, and chairs in the office. But, it's unlikely that they possess the training or awareness to effectively and safely clean and mitigate the spread of infection the same way that a trained staff person from a reputable medical cleaning services company like Sanitec Solutions.
A company that specializes in medical cleaning also has advanced training methods that most commercial cleaning companies wouldn't think to include in their training regimens. For example, one of the most pressing issues in medical cleaning is the issue of cross-contamination. Bacteria can spread almost immediately on contact, and certain cleaners are used to target specific organisms. If a species of bacteria or virus is present in one room, a medical cleaning staff person may accidentally spread it to a different room during their work shift. A company that employs staff trained in proper medical cleaning procedures like Sanitec will use a colour-coded system for their cleaning materials to prevent cross-contamination. This relatively simple step is extremely effective for reduction in the spread of dangerous pathogens.
Healthy air is just as important as infection-free surfaces when it comes to medical cleaning, and a company that uses HEPA (high efficiency particulate arrestance) certified vacuums and filters is second to none is the medical cleaning world. These vacuums effectively capture harmful microorganisms, unlike traditional vacuums, which simply do not have the technology it takes to perform like HEPA vacuums can.
Medical cleaning is crucial to the success of any health care facility, whether it's for a large hospital or a doctor's office. Choosing a company that has staff specialized in medical cleaning services is key to your patient's health. Contact Sanitec Solutions today to get a free quote on medical cleaning services.

Here's why K'taka speaker rejected resignations of 8 rebel MLAs
1:14 PM, 10 July, 2019 Updated 3:29 PM, 10 July, 2019
Bengaluru Assembly Speaker Ramesh Kumar on July 9 had rejected the resignations of eight rebel MLAs. Photo - PTI
The Karnataka speaker KR Ramesh Kumar's rejection of the resignations of eight of the 13 Congress and JD(S) legislators on July 9, came as a surprise to many who hadn't anticipated that a minor glitch as a letter's format could render a resignation invalid, especially when it has the power to topple a government.
But the speaker's order has made it clear, that politics or not, the rules of the constitution have to be followed, literally in letter and spirit.
The format of the resignation letter, mentioned in Chapter XXII, titled 'Resignation and Vacation of Seats in the House' in the Rule of Procedure of Conduct of Business in Karnataka Legislative Assembly, states that a member who desires to resign from his seat has to intimate his decision to the speaker in his handwriting and need not specify the reason for his resignation.
The rulebook mandates that the letter be addressed to the speaker and the applicant fills in the undertaking specifying his name, place and date of resignation and signature.
The resignations can either be personally handed over to the speaker or through someone. But the rulebook says that the speaker will only accept it when he is sure that the resignation is voluntary and not coerced, after making enquiries. After accepting the resignation, the speaker should inform the house of the development and that he has given his consent to the letter.
The rulebook also allows a member to withdraw his resignation letter before it is accepted by the speaker.

Brown, No. 8 Baylor stun top-ranked UConn
WACO, Texas — Baylor coach Kim Mulkey claimed her mind was already focused on her team's next game on Sunday. But nobody else was thinking about that. Baylor had just ended another of No. 1 UConn's crazy-good streaks, and that was the focus of the women's basketball world.
UConn survived one treacherous trip into Big 12 territory earlier this season. But Thursday, the Huskies lost their first regular-season game in more than four years. And it was at the hands of Baylor, the beast of Big 12 women's basketball.
The No. 8 Lady Bears prevailed 68-57 over No. 1 UConn in front a rocking full house of 10,284 fans at Ferrell Center. It was the first time Baylor has defeated the nation's top-ranked team, having gone 0-14 previously counting the NCAA and Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women eras.
"Listen, we're all chasing Geno, let's be real," Mulkey said of Huskies coach Geno Auriemma, who has won 11 NCAA titles. "I didn't know it was a first. I don't coach like that. I just want to win the next game."
Winning this one was pretty enormous.
UConn fell in overtime in each of the past two national semifinals, but the Huskies had not lost a regular-season game since falling in overtime to Stanford on Nov. 17, 2014, a string of 126 victories in a row. UConn's last double-digit loss was Feb. 27, 2012, against Notre Dame (lost by 13).

The Huskies' streak of regular-season victories in regulation was even longer: 163 in a row, with the last loss to Baylor on Feb. 18, 2013. That Lady Bears team was the defending national champion at the time, and it featured then-senior Brittney Griner.
This season's Baylor squad has another strong center in Kalani Brown, and the reigning Big 12 player of the year controlled the inside. Brown finished with 22 points and 17 rebounds Thursday, her best game of this season. She was 11-of-17 from the field.
The Lady Bears also got a big game off the bench from freshman sensation NaLyssa Smith, who had 12 points and six rebounds, going 6-of-9 from the field.
Point guard Chloe Jackson, a graduate student playing her first and only season at Baylor, had 13 points, seven rebounds and eight assists. Guard Juicy Landrum had 11 points, including all three of the Lady Bears' 3-pointers.
The Lady Bears' length on defense with the 6-foot-7 Brown, 6-4 Lauren Cox and 6-2 Smith made things difficult for the Huskies, as did the perimeter defense led by DiDi Richards, who spent a lot of time guarding UConn leading scorer Katie Lou Samuelson.
The Huskies shot 29.4 percent from the field (20-of-68), their worst mark in the past 20 seasons. That included 11 3-pointers; UConn made just 9 of 36 attempts from 2-point range. This was UConn's lowest point total of the season, and its lowest since scoring 55 in a victory over Central Florida on Feb. 7, 2018.

What went wrong offensively for UConn? Everything. Baylor's size made it hard to go into the paint. The Huskies weren't able to score in transition, partly because they didn't get that many opportunities; Baylor had only five turnovers. And then UConn didn't hit some of the jump shots that we're used to seeing.
"It felt like our offense was kind of stagnant, and we were all just looking at each other," said Samuelson, who had 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting. "So that led to taking difficult shots, which we weren't hitting. That's on us to figure it out, and we should have figured it out earlier and played with a little more urgency."
Auriemma added: "I don't remember us struggling so much before on the offensive end to get things going."
UConn trailed much of the game in its visit to Oklahoma on Dec. 19, but it then took control in the final five minutes against a young Sooners squad and won 72-63. This is a Baylor team with a lot more experience, and the Lady Bears did not let this one get away.
UConn, Notre Dame, Louisville and Oregon are top seeds in our latest projection. NC State, Baylor, Stanford and Mississippi State are No. 2 seeds.
As the conference season opens, we don't have to wait long for one of the most enticing games: Asia Durr and No. 3 Louisville face No. 2 Notre Dame.
Katie Benzan picked a great time for her first double-double of the season. The guard had 19 points and 10 assists as Harvard upset No. 14 Cal.
Cox, who had been scoreless in the first half, got going offensively in the third quarter. That helped open things up for Brown. The senior was able to make her presence felt, as she used both her size inside and her jump shot at the free throw line to take control. Baylor led the way on the boards 46-43 and shot 43.5 percent for the game (30-of-69).
Baylor's only loss this season was 68-63 on Dec. 15 at Stanford, and Brown and Cox combined for just seven points in that game. Did that defeat impact how Baylor's inside duo played Thursday?
"It did. Coach made sure of that," Brown said. "She got on us. Me and Lauren took it upon ourselves to respond. That's what we did tonight. It's not really normal for us both to have a bad game like that. We just wanted to redeem ourselves.
"The energy we had today was crazy. If we play every game like that, there's no telling where we may end up. We kept the energy even through the momentum swings. We just kept at it."
Mulkey had said before the game that she wasn't worried about the NCAA tournament implications of this game. But with a victory in hand over the top-ranked Huskies, the Lady Bears now go into the Big 12 season, where they have dominated, with great momentum. Baylor has won or tied for the Big 12 regular-season title eight years in a row, and it has claimed seven of the past eight league tournament titles.
But the Lady Bears have fallen short of the Final Four since winning it all in 2012. Thursday's win came only in early January, but it definitely could help come March.
However, Mulkey said it was more about meeting a general standard she wants all the time.
"We may never get to another Final Four. Do you know how hard that is?" Mulkey said. "I said that when we went the first time. But we're still there; we're still relevant. I just want to put a team on the floor that Baylor people will be proud of."

Faraway, So Close! () is a 1993 German fantasy film directed by Wim Wenders, who co-wrote the screenplay with Richard Reitinger and Ulrich Zieger. It is a sequel to Wenders' 1987 film Wings of Desire. Actors Otto Sander, Bruno Ganz and Peter Falk reprise their roles as angels who have become human. The film also stars Nastassja Kinski, Willem Dafoe and Heinz Rühmann, in his last film role.

The story follows the angel Cassiel, who unlike his friend Damiel, chose not to become human in the original despite being told of the joys of life. Cassiel only becomes human in the reunified Berlin, but quickly becomes involved in a criminal enterprise that threatens his newfound life and his friends.

Wenders opted to pursue the project, desiring to make a film set in Berlin after the fall of the Wall. Sander also wished to pursue a storyline in which his character becomes human, and contributed ideas for the plot. Faraway, So Close! won the Grand Prix du Jury at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival, but enjoyed less critical success than its predecessor.

Plot
Cassiel and Raphaella, two angels, observe the busy life of reunited Berlin. Due to their divine origin, they can hear the thoughts of the people around them, and try to console a dying man. Cassiel has been following his friend Damiel (a former angel), who senses his presence and talks about his experiences as a human. He owns a pizza parlor named Casa dell'angelo (Angel's House) and has married Marion, a trapeze artist whom he met when an angel. She works in a local bar in West Berlin, and the two have a young daughter, Doria.

Cassiel follows Raissa Becker, an 11-year-old girl who lives in the former East Berlin. He observes her life and notices that she and her mother Hanna Becker are being followed by Philip Winter, a detective who works for Anton Baker. The latter is an American arms dealer and pornographer who owns a transport company.

Cassiel follows Hanna Becker (and Winter) to an abandoned building in the outskirts of East Berlin. As Raphaella and Cassiel sit on top of the Brandenburg Gate, he expresses a desire to experience human life. Visiting Raissa, he finds her alone at her flat and leaning over the balcony railing. As she falls, Cassiel tries to save her and suddenly becomes human, catching the child. He has to adjust to the transformation, learning to modulate the volume of his voice and to negotiate streets and avoid being hit by cars. His only possession is an angel's armor, which became tangible when he leaped into humanity. In the underground (subway), Cassiel is tricked into gambling by Emit Flesti, losing his armor and money won during the game. Raphaella begs Flesti to give Cassiel time to understand what it is to be a human; he agrees but does not promise to stop hunting him.

Arrested and detained, Cassiel struggles to satisfy police demands for identification. He cannot give (or comprehend) his name or address, but refers the police to his friend's pizza shop. Damiel arrives at the station and takes his now human friend home. Tricked by Flesti into drinking alcohol, he becomes addicted and robs a shop with a gun taken from a teenager, who had been planning to kill his abusive  stepfather. Cassiel begins begging to make his way and feigns a car accident with Baker to compel him to pay for the forging of a passport and birth certificate he has ordered under the name Karl Engel (Charles Angel). Baker hires Cassiel as his valet, to pass him cards for cheating his fellow gangsters at poker. Stopping by Casa dell'Angelo to return items borrowed from Damiel, Cassiel encounters Flesti again. He is collecting money from Damiel, after having loaned him money to set up the business. After Cassiel saves Baker's life, Baker makes Cassiel his partner. But after learning the true nature of his business, Cassiel decides to leave Baker's service and stop him. Winter is killed by Flesti.

With the help of former angel Peter Falk, Cassiel gets into Baker's airport storage area. His team takes all the weapons and destroy the pornography copying machines. They send the weapons to a barge owned by other friends. Once having completed the plan, Cassiel feels ready to live as a human, but Flesti reports that Baker's rival, Patzke, has hijacked the barge with Baker's and Cassiel's friends inside. Becker is also captured and reunites with his sister, Hannah, on board.

Flesti reveals himself as Time and says that he has to make Cassiel understand he does not belong in the human world; he has a word written on his forehead. At a boat lift, Cassiel gets on the barge and frees Raissa, moments before being killed. Flesti slows time so the rest can take over the barge and save the entire party. Cassiel's friends are saddened by his death, but when Damiel hears a ring in his ear, he understands that Cassiel has been reinstated as an angel and is near, and Damiel laughs in joy.

Cast

Themes
Writers later assessed the film as having more religious themes than the original. Peter Hasenberg wrote it contains the two films' first reference to God, when the angels state a purpose to connect humans with "Him". Andrew Tate noted a quote from Matthew 6:22 and Matthew 6:23 in the film, attributing this to Wenders personally converting back to Christianity in the time between the original and sequel. Tate also noted Faraway, So Close! is followed by the 1998 U.S. remake City of Angels, which he said references "mythic phenomena".

Professor Martin Jesinghausen judged the sequel to differ from the original's presumption that the Berlin Wall would never fall, and concluded the lack of divides made the sequel "less powerful". Professor Roger Bromley defended Faraway, So Close! as more than a mere sequel, saying it is "fairly formless" but this is fitting for the "incomplete modernity" in film and life following the Revolutions of 1989. Academic Roger Cook argued that, as with the original and Wenders' 1984 road movie Paris, Texas,  Faraway, So Close! advocates for "narrative's potential to sustain both individual and cultural identity".

Production
Director Wim Wenders' film Wings of Desire is set in Berlin at the time of the Wall. He opted to make a sequel, desiring to explore Berlin post-reunification, more so than for the sake of having a sequel, though the original ends with "To be continued". Wenders had earlier planned to make a film about the evolved Berlin in 1991, but not with Wings of Desire characters, only doing so upon considering that only his angels could observe the moral changes he found problematic.

Otto Sander, who reprises his role as the angel Cassiel, wished to see him become human, an idea unresolved in the first film. Wenders credited Sander with the idea of Cassiel descending into crime. Richard Reitinger and Ulrich Ziegler wrote the bulk of the screenplay, with Wenders also credited. Due to the larger budget than the original, Road Movies Filmproduktion made the film without original producer Anatole Dauman and Argos.

The film features cameo appearances by the singer Lou Reed, the American actor Peter Falk, reprising his role from the first film, and former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, all of whom play themselves. Gorbachev had never acted in a film before. His appearance was rare, but not entirely unprecedented for a politician, as Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and New York Mayor John Lindsay had appeared in films. Heinz Rühmann was also cast, and his death in October 1994 made this his last role. Much of the first three weeks of photography went unused in the final edit, due to its influence from Wings of Desire and Wenders' aversion to sequels.

Music
The Faraway, So Close!: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on September 6, 1993, in Europe and Canada, and January 25, 1994, in the United States by EMI Electrola. The twenty-track album has a run time of 76:33.

The soundtrack mix of the U2 songs "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" and "The Wanderer" are augmentations of the original versions included on the July 1993 release of Zooropa.

Release
Faraway, So Close! competed at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1993. In late 1993, it made its U.S. debut at the Telluride Film Festival, where Wim Wenders introduced it personally. It also reached theatres in Germany.

A limited release in the U.S. followed in December. In the film's international release, press releases straightforwardly noted "Faraway, So Close marks Mikhail Gorbachev's feature film debut". On its first weekend, it made $55,019 and finished its run grossing $810,455 in North America.

Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Faraway, So Close! holds a 58% approval rating based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 5.80/10.

The New York Times critic Caryn James described the film as "lyrical and profoundly goofy" and "one of the more intriguing messes on screen". Desson Howe wrote in The Washington Post that while the sequel was not totally unsuccessful, "the narrative journey up to this point has been so frustrating and inconsistent, the conclusion feels like an afterthought". Times Richard Corliss summarized it as "a wondrous mess". The Los Angeles Times critic Kevin Thomas was more positive, assessing it as "just as luminous as" and "a considerably more complex film than Wings of Desire." Roger Ebert contemplated the casting of Nastassja Kinski as a new angel character, writing, "A few years ago Kinski would have been cast as one of the humans. Now her face can reflect the sadness, the experience, the wisdom that allows her to be an angel", explaining his argument by saying that at age 30, Kinski resembled her now-dead father Klaus in "The deep-set eyes. The hurt in the lips." New York responded to the casting of Gorbachev with a simple "Go figure".

In his 2007 Movie Guide, Leonard Maltin gave it two and a half stars, and approved of the casting. Time Out dismissed it as "a considerable disappointment".

The film won the Grand Prix du Jury at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival, and Best Cinematography for Jürgen Jürges at the German Film Awards. Its song "Stay" was also nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Song.

The term "Swedish Massage" refers to a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and involves rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart.
Over time, the body builds up unhealthy amounts of stress hormones in response to work deadlines, traffic jams, relationship problems and more. These hormones can cause physical problems, like digestive issues, headaches and sleeplessness.
At "purchasemotilium Massage Therapist", we offer Swedish massage therapy for relaxation and Stress relief.
Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons, keeping them supple and pliable.
Swedish massage will stimulate the skin and nervous system while relaxing and soothing the nerves themselves. Emotional and physical stress and tension are reduced. Regularly scheduled massages are a great way to keep stress under control. Swedish massage also has many specific medical uses.
Our Swedish massage can boost the immune system by reducing the amount of cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, that's released in the body. Elevated levels of cortisol are a culprit in weight gain. The hormone also attacks the body's defensive cells that kill off bacteria and viruses. But a massage decreases the cortisol levels and therefore improves the functioning of the immune system.
Swedish massage is recognized as the first systematic method of modern massage in the Western world, and remains one of the most popular massages for clients who have never had a massage before.
Our massage therapist will show you to a warmed, darkened room where you will be asked to undress and lie down on your front with just a light sheet covering your body. The therapist will work on one body part at a time, and will leave the rest of your body covered by the sheet for your privacy and comfort.
Following your Swedish Massage session, you'll leave feeling relaxed and regenerated. This can be attributed to the release of dopamine and serotonin during the massage. These hormones are responsible for feelings of happiness and overall well-being.
Studies show that during a massage, brain activity in the right lobe of the brain - which is more active when people are depressed - is decreased. Brain activity in the left lobe is increased, which indicates happiness.
Swedish massage feels good, and it's relaxing and invigorating. It affects the nerves, muscles, glands, and circulation, while promoting health and general well-being. Contact us for more information at 901-601-3228.
