Lehigh Valley High School Football
District 11 football: Chad Beller stepped up when Catasauqua needed him most
By Tom Housenick
Chad Beller suffered a herniated disc in his neck late in his freshman season in 2020. It didn't require surgery.
But it is the neck and it's football — a violent collision sport.
It took time for the Catasauqua two-way starter to build himself back up physically and mentally, but he never thought of walking away from the sport he's played since kindergarten.
Beller elevated his game and tenacity just in time for coach Travis Brett's Rough Riders, who struggled to an 0-3 start this season and were figuring out how to play without fellow two-way standout Hunter Reitz and utilize a less-than-100% Anthonie Hunsicker.
Beller has been a big part of the answer. The linebacker made at least 12 tackles in 10 of Catasauqua's first 11 games this season. His 159 tackles lead the Colonial-Schuylkill League. That total also helped the Rough Riders advance to Saturday's District 11 Class 2A championship game for the first time since they won it all in 2013.
"Every other coach would say before we play them, 'Number 50 is a beast,'" Brett said. "He's hard to block."
Catasauqua allowed 74 points in its first two losses to eventual playoff teams Northern Lehigh and Palmerton. It yielded 84 in the next nine games before Saturday's district final.
The Rough Riders' only losses since the 0-3 start was a Week 9 overtime heartbreaker to Palisades, which it beat 17-14 in last week's district semifinal, and 32-29 in Saturday's district final.
Beller has been instrumental in that turnaround. The junior linebacker had 15 tackles in Catasauqua's first win, 23-0 over Mahanoy Area. He made a career-high 20 in the team's other shutout, 21-0 over Panther Valley.
The 5-foot-10, 220-pounder has 17 tackles for loss this season, including two sacks, and two fumble recoveries to help Catasauqua recover from the rough start to a season the juniors and seniors expected to be a run to a championship.
"This is the team we've all been excited for since we'd been in flags," Beller said. "Knowing that once we had the class above us, this would be our best season."
Beller signed up for flags at the behest of his father, Chad Sr. who also played football growing up. It didn't take long for the younger Beller's love of the sport to kick in.
He enjoyed running the ball and tackling opponents who carried it. Though he has 122 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries this season, his primary responsibility matches his favorite part about the sport.
"Hitting someone and not getting in trouble for it," Beller said.
Beller also starts on Catasauqua's offensive line, helping open holes for Hunsicker, Jyzaiah Bonilla and quarterback Christian Fye.
His football bonding continues with his father. They spend time after every game talking about what he could have done better. He also watches film and dedicates himself in the weight room, which has allowed him to add a few pounds as this season continues.
It helped him endure the pounding of being a two-way player with so much contact on each play.
"The weight room and wrestling have helped him," Brett said. "We try to get a lot of our line guys to wrestle. We've got a couple more going out this year.
"His sophomore year, he was OK but played hesitantly because of the neck injury. He just rehabbed it. He got lucky not needing surgery and maybe never playing again.
"He came back this year and really made a lot of tackles for us. He's been great. You watch him on film, and it's like, 'Whoa.'"
Beller has had double-digit tackles in his last nine games. He scored an offensive touchdown and recovered a fumble against Palmerton.
None of his performances this season, however, stand out more than any other.
"It's hard to say," he said. "I've improved a lot this year.
"I just play every snap like it's my last."
That last snap could have come during his freshman season. Opposing players and coaches this year are painfully finding out what they may have missed out on.

District 11 football preview capsules
CLASS 2A FINAL
Catasauqua (7-4) vs. Executive Education (6-3)
When/where: 11:05 a.m. Saturday at Whitehall's Zephyr Stadium
Last meeting: The teams have never met
What's at stake: A berth in next weekend's PIAA Class 2A tournament against the District 2 champion, either Lakeland or Dunmore, at a site and time to be announced. The two play Thursday at Lakeland.
What to look for: The Rough Riders want to control the clock with their running game featuring Hunsicker and Bonilla. The Raptors want to open things up with their passing game led by quarterback Darmel Lopez. Jhymiek Roman, Emery Plummer and Damon Young give the Raptors a trio with big-play capability. Executive Education, which is 1-1 this year against District 11 teams, would love to turn the game into a shootout. That would give it a great chance at claiming its first district title. Catasauqua would prefer to grind out its first district championship since 2013.
Prediction: Catasauqua 21-12
Southern Lehigh (9-2) vs. Whitehall (6-5)
When/where: 7:05 p.m. Saturday at Catasauqua
Last meeting: Whitehall 43-14 on Nov. 5, 2021
Series: Whitehall leads 4-0
What's at stake: A berth in next weekend's PIAA Class 5A playoffs against the District 2 champion, either Delaware Valley or Scranton, at a site and time to be announced. The two play Thursday at Scranton.
What to look for: It's the same scenario as the previous four meetings: Can the Spartans contain the Zephyrs' athleticism and not allow big plays that sway momentum? EPC South first-team all-star Nigel Linton is one of those athletes. He has 1,155 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns plus four receiving TDs for coach Matt Senneca's club. Coach Phil Sams' Spartans miss senior Avery Koser (season-ending injury) as much for his defensive presence at safety as his skills at quarterback. Both would have been helpful in the district final. It would good if the Spartans get back two-way starter Jack Inglis from an injury that has kept him out the last month.
Prediction: Whitehall 35-14
LAST WEEK: 9-0
THIS SEASON: 100-26

Two thirds of London housing association's UC claimants behind on rent
Two thirds of tenants in one of London's largest housing associations who receive Universal Credit are behind on their rent, research shows.
Of Peabody housing association's 11,000 tenants on Universal Credit, 67% are in arrears and have racked up an average debt of £1,200.
A quarter of those in arrears are more than two months behind, analysis of its accounts shows, meaning they risk building up "unmanageable debt".
On average, those claiming Universal Credit have arrears almost 70% higher than those of working age residents not claiming the benefit.
I think you just put yourself into debt with Universal Credit
Peabody said that "ongoing failures in the system" such as the five-week wait for a first payment, additional delays, mispayments and difficulties in the claims process have led to growing rent arrears and new mental health problems.
One resident told the housing association: "I think you just put yourself into debt with Universal Credit."
Peabody saw the number of its residents claiming Universal Credit more than double between March and October last year with 6,000 new claimants.
It expects this to rise when Government support such as the furlough scheme ends, which is due to happen at the end of April.
The housing association said people in debt are given support and payment plans and there is "no question of eviction" when residents are engaged with them.
It believes private renters, who have higher payments, will be struggling more.
Peabody also surveyed 450 residents who started claiming Universal Credit during the pandemic and found just 15% of those who lost their jobs during the crisis have found paid work again.
Around a quarter of respondents who put in new claims said that they had to wait longer than five weeks for their first payment – causing some to run out of money.
The fact I was underpaid has put me in arrears and has caused me to have a breakdown - the stress of it all. They treat you like third class citizens
Nearly one fifth said that they found the system either fairly or very difficult to navigate.
One in 10 respondents reported suffering from missed payments, 10% reported payment delays, and 9% reported communications issues.
The report notes: "That respondents so frequently reported these sorts of issues is disappointing."
A fifth of new claimants said the experience had affected their mental health – of which 44% said they had developed a new mental health problem and 31% said an existing condition had worsened.
One resident said: "The system does not work well. It's a nightmare.
"I am in a much worse financial situation now than I was before and I am struggling to get the back payments I am due.
"The fact I was underpaid has put me in arrears and has caused me to have a breakdown – the stress of it all. They treat you like third class citizens."
Peabody chairman, Lord Bob Kerslake, said: "That the Universal Credit system has not collapsed under the strain of millions of new applications is positive.
I welcome this research, highlighting serious problems with the current version of Universal Credit - the scale of mental health problems is particularly troubling
"However, the experience of the majority of people making a claim shows that the system is still failing to provide adequate support.
"The difficult times are set to continue for some time yet so it is really important that the Government gets a grip of the problems as other financial support winds down."
Lord Kerslake called for clarity over whether the £20 a week uplift will continue, but said more changes are needed, adding: "We urge ministers to bring forward a comprehensive improvement plan so that Universal Credit can provide the safety net that is desperately needed in these challenging times."
Chairman of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, Stephen Timms, said: "I welcome this research, highlighting serious problems with the current version of Universal Credit. The scale of mental health problems is particularly troubling.
"The Department regrettably rejected our plan for starter payments to tide families over the five week wait for their first benefit payment and has refused even to look into the problems the five week wait is causing."
Universal Credit has delivered during this pandemic, providing vital support to millions when they needed it most, and we remain committed to ensuring nobody is left behind
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesman said: "Universal Credit has delivered during this pandemic, providing vital support to millions when they needed it most, and we remain committed to ensuring nobody is left behind.
"That's why we've also raised the living wage, spent hundreds of billions to safeguard jobs, boosted that welfare support by billions and introduced the £170 million Covid Winter Grant Scheme to help children and families stay warm and well-fed.
"We've also taken unprecedented action to protect renters, including banning evictions, as well as increasing local housing allowance rates."

Who is Tank Girl?
by Karol B
Tank Girl is a comic book character developed in the late 1980s by Jamie Hewlett & Alan Martin. Hewlett & Martin met while going to college in Worthing, England, UK.
Tank Girl, whose birth name is Fonzie Rebecca Buckler (later known as Rebecca Buck) lives in a post-apocalyptic Australia, uses a tank as her home & daily driver. A bounty hunter by trade, a series of unfortunate events leads her to become an outlaw herself.
Tank Girl is known for her punk rock style, and breaking of gender stereotypes. She is violent, sexual, crude & uses drugs and alcohol.
The original Tank Girl comic series was published in Deadline magazine from 1988 to 1995. By the time the magazine released its last issue, the Tank Girl character was so popular that comics were already published in several countries & she had a feature film.
Tank Girl Movie
Tank Girl was a 1995 movie. The movie cast included actress Lori Petty (Tank Girl), Ice-T (T-Saint) and Naomi Watts (Jet Girl).
Additional characters include the Rippers, which are mutated kangaroos (essentially half man, half kangaroo). One of these Rippers is Booga, who is Tank Girl's boyfriend.
Tank Girl Soundtrack
The Tank Girl movie soundtrack contained a generous 20 tracks. It included 2 tracks by Bjork and songs by Veruca Salt, Ice-T, Bush, Hole, Devo, L7, Portishead & Iggy Pop.
You can still buy the soundtrack in audio CD, MP3 and even a special vinyl edition!
What Kind of Tank was Used in Tank Girl?
"The tank used in the film is a modified M5A1 Stuart. It was purchased from the government of Peru about 12 years prior to filming and had already been used in several films. Among numerous modifications made for Tank Girl, the tank's 37 mm antitank gun was covered with a modified flag pole to give the appearance of a 105 mm gun. An entire 1969 Cadillac Eldorado was added onto the tank, with the rear section welded at the back and the fender welded to the front." - Wikipedia via "The Making of Tank Girl" by Frank Wynne (1995)
Tank Girl Remake
News of a Tank Girl movie remake starring Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad) have been going around for a couple of years. Robbie seems like a natural choice given her acting range & being a native of Australia.
Unfortunately, the last time we heard anything was September 2019. Robbie's production company, LuckyChap, had apparently optioned the rights to the franchise from MGM, and had brought on Miles Joris-Peyrafitte to direct. The film was apparently months into pre-production, but it's probably safe to say that the coronavirus put the kibosh on all of that.
21st Century Tank Girl
In 2015, Jamie Hewlett & Alan Martin published "21st Century Tank Girl." It was the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised more than 3 times its goal of £57,000.
The book is Hewlett & Martin's first return to the Tank Girl franchise is over 20 years. It contains 114 pages & is available in hardcover & digital versions.

Recently, I traveled to Southern Utah to meet with local Workcamps partners and community members in preparation for our Summer 2018 Montezuma Creek Challenge Workcamp.
My week was filled with newness. New languages spoken. New meals shared. New sites seen. And while the experiences of eating fry bread with every supper and adventuring through the desert canyons were top-notch, my favorite part was actually the familiarity of building relationships with people who care about their community.
I am constantly blown away that no matter what city or area I am visiting, I experience genuine hospitality and the expression of love from a community and the people who call it home.
As we drove down unmarked red dirt roads, our partners were able to identify homes that we've previously worked on not by a site number or even by the home repair work completed, but by the resident's name and story.
They shared stories of residents who were impacted by the youth who came to serve, residents whose homes would have otherwise crumbled without new roofs that were installed by participants, and residents whose stories forever changed the lives of our staff and youth.
In every meeting with schools and Navajo chapter leaders, I so valued that the importance was never to just talk business. We got to know each other, checked in on our lives, and kept the conversation focused on the people we cared for. I heard new names and new stories, but the heart behind it all was the same.
It's this type of community development—the kind where relationships and stories come alive—that I am so proud to be a part of.
"Ahéhee", my Navajo "thank" you for an incredible week.

Ancelotti's Napoli tests title ambitions at Juventus
Despite statistics favouring Juventus - in what will be the 145th meeting between the two sides - Napoli came out on top in the Allianz Stadium last April which threw the Scudetto title race open.

Carlo Ancelotti faces his first big test of Napoli's title ambitions this season as he heads north to his former club Juventus on Saturday in a top-of-the-table clash which could allow it to pull level with the champion.
Ancelotti's side is three points behind Juventus, which has a 100 percent record after six games.
Ancelotti - who coached Juventus from 1999 to 2001 before leaving for AC Milan where he made his name during a trophy-laden eight years - took over from Maurizio Sarri at the end of last season.
And he has been stamping his mark on the post-Sarri team with just one defeat - a 3-0 loss to Sampdoria - in his first campaign in Italy since 2009.

"I chose to come to Napoli because of the passion in the city and the project of the club. We are trying to change something and it's working pretty well," said Ancelotti as the club target a first title since the days of Diego Maradona back in 1990.
Despite statistics favouring the champion, Napoli came out on top in the Allianz Stadium last April with a last-gasp Kalidou Koulibaly header ensuring a 1-0 win which threw the Scudetto title race open.
Juventus went on to win for the seventh straight year.
It will be the 145th meeting between the two sides, and 73rd in Turin, with the host having 44 wins, to just eight for Napoli.
"Head-to-head clashes are always complicated. This time there will be Ancelotti who has transmitted his great serenity to the team and everyone is benefiting. Yes, they are our rivals right now," said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Allegri believes Cristiano Ronaldo has found his place in the team, having scored three goals so far, and helping Paulo Dybala and Blaise Matuidi find the net against Bologna midweek.
"The more time these players spend together the better they get to know each other and improve their understanding," said Allegri, ahead of next week's Champions League game against Swiss club Young Boys which Ronaldo will miss after his controversial sending off against Valencia in Spain.
Ancelotti has been rotating his squad ahead of the Juventus game and next week's Champions League clash against Liverpool with nine changes made for the 3-0 win midweek over Parma. But he is counting on Lorenzo Insigne to continue his fine form with five goals this season.
"Insigne is in tremendous form and I think we need to make the most of that right now," said Ancelotti.
"To be honest, I've given myself a real headache picking the line-up for Saturday, because those who played (Wednesday) proved they deserve it and so did those who played at the weekend."

Saturday night derby fever hits Rome with As Roma and Lazio going head-to-head at the Stadio Olimpicio with contrasting fortunes.
Simone Inzaghi's Lazio, which lost its opening two games to Juventus and Napoli, can head confidently into the game on a four-game league winning streak.
Roma, meanwhile, eased the pressure on under-fire coach Eusebio Di Francesco achieving its first three points in over a month with a 4-0 win against Frosinone.
Inter Milan heads to Cagliari on Saturday ahead of next week's Champions League game at PSV Eindhoven.
Coach Gennaro Gattuso is under pressure as AC Milan travels to Sassuolo chasing just its second win of the season after slumping to 13th after three consecutive stalemates.
Sassuolo is third, five points behind Juve.

Listening to misfortune may have many causes, pathologies and manifestations which might be dealt with in different routes with different degrees of progress. Be that as it may, all listening to misfortune pathologies prompt to an auxiliary, to a great extent neglected, for the most part untreated listening to inadequacy inside the focal sound-related recognition.
Listening to implies that the mind gets electrical boosts from the cochlear in a novel example which the cerebrum utilizes as aural representations. As each solid we can recognize is a one of a kind such aural representation, the determination of each must be as high as could be allowed to safeguard it's uniqueness, without which it can't be recognized from other comparable aural representations.
The full human recurrence and element range of hearing is important to make and keep up the uniqueness of each of these sound-related representations. By joining these aural representations with other tangible sources of info and encounters we dole out each of them an importance, exclusively in gatherings and in scenes. This ability we learn in early adolescence when we gain tactile mindfulness, yet keep doing for the duration of our life, at whatever point we experience another, not put away aural representation.
These exceptional aural representations are put away in our long haul memory to be rapidly and naturally gotten to and contrasted and approaching aural examples through utilization of our transient memory to allot each a formerly learned significance. Just if this procedure is completely robotized will it be sufficiently quick for us to comprehend the complexities of dialect and in the meantime not require critical mental assets.
In the event of only an exceptionally gentle listening to misfortune, the nearness of which would not be uncovered by a traditional audiogram, a lot of detail of a flag is lost. Any sound-related example made out of this modified flag will fundamentally contrast from its unique, through typical hearing, made frame. What was once special, now nearly coordinates a few other aural representations.
This immaterial listening to misfortune may bring about indications which are apparently over corresponding to its unique cause and triggers a chain response of consequences for the human cerebrum and focal sound-related framework.
On the off chance that uniqueness is lost to an aural representation, listening to which is intended to be completely mechanized, turns into a cognizant procedure [again], whereby we attempt to dole out the in all probability significance got from accessible setting (sound-related and in addition other tactile info or encounters) which is accessible.

There are many reasons for these issues, some of them very normal and some of them characteristic of fundamental issue. Also, there are numerous side effects that go with these, the greater part of which need to do with disappointment in correspondences, ringing in the ear, or even ear torment. The following are recorded the absolute most basic reasons for listening to misfortune and their clarifications.
Listening to misfortune is itself a heritable characteristic, implying that it can be passed down starting with one era then onto the next. Numerous maladies, for example, Usher disorder, Pendred disorder, and Warrensburg disorder are acquired from one's folks from either a passive or prevailing quality. These qualities by and large influence the general uprightness of the inward ear and eardrum.
Certain irresistible illnesses likewise cause listening to misfortune. Measles, an exceptionally irresistible malady that spreads from host to have with about 90% adequacy when one host is in close contact with another, can bring about noteworthy sound-related nerve harm, along these lines ruining one's ability to listen; data from the ear never achieves the mind. Meningitis, an exceptionally forceful illness, may likewise harm the internal ear. Certain immune system sicknesses are likewise reasons for listening to misfortune. There are numerous more sicknesses that can bring about listening to misfortune: mumps, AIDS, chlamydia, fetal liquor disorder, untimely birth, syphilis, otosclerosis, medulloblastoma, and unrivaled channel dehiscence. Furthermore, any illness, for example, different sclerosis, or traumatic condition, similar to stroke, that specifically harms the focal sensory system stands the shot of trading off one's capacity to listen.
With almost any illness or condition that may bring about listening to misfortune, you are probably going to see an otolaryngologist, which is the specialized name for an ear, nose, and throat specialist. This flexible restorative claim to fame is in charge of treating sinus contaminations, sore throats, ear infections, and minor facial injury. Some of these specialists have a therapeutic claim to fame in surgery, however a lot of them have practical experience in a solitary marvel like listening to misfortune.
It is important that you see an ear, nose, and throat specialist soon in the event that you are encountering any torment in your ear. Frequently, uproarious situations can prompt ear torment. If so with you, you ought to quickly leave the region and make a beeline for a calm place. Torment in the ear may likewise be an indication of an ear contamination, a condition that ought to be taken a gander at by a therapeutic expert before it advances to a more difficult and unsafe state. By and large, an ear disease can be cleared by basic ear drops and an oral drug. Numerous non-steroidal mitigating solutions like ibuprofen and headache medicine are powerful at lightening the agony connected with numerous ear ailments.

People across the globe spend a huge amount of money to look good. An appealing personality attracts everyone and leaves a positive impression around.
Hair is considered as the most significant feature in terms of first impression. It is linked with chauvinism and masculinity in men and charm and attractiveness in women, thus hair loss can make many men and women feel self-conscious.
It is normal to shed some hair every day because 90% of the hair on our scalp keeps growing at any given point of time. We approximately shed 100 hair strands in a day. But sometimes, people face more than normal hair loss. This is called Alopecia.
Earlier hair loss was perceived as a mark of ageing, but in today's world where everyone is dealing with a hectic day to day routine, hair loss has become a matter of concern for many. There are numerous reasons for hair loss, like hormonal imbalance, imbalance diet, medication, work stress etc.
Though hair transplant surgery is an option but it is not the ideal solution. Plus, they are such a hole in the wallet. Instead, a hair replacement system is a much better option for those who really wish to let go their bald look. The hair system technology is so unconventional that it gives a natural look to the face by exactly duplicating your natural hair color, quality, thickness and hair pattern. The basic lace attached to the scalp is so thin that it is almost invisible. On a simpler note, a hair replacement system is a workable and cost-effective answer to hair loss complications and a chance for you to get back your attractive personality and self-confidence. Hair systems help you to continue a normal life as it is suitable for most situations and environment � including swimming! The hair systems come in the form of toupees that are safe and sustainable as you can change them with a new one every time you wish to change your style.
There might be some fears and hitches if it is your first experience, but once you start wearing it, you will find it as comfortable as wearing nothing at all.

The acoustic immittance is measured by putting a piece into the ear called a test beat. This is place in the ear enough to make a hermetcic seal. This tip incorporates a few things. Initial, a beneficiary/tone generator, which is a speaker that will play a tone into the ear. The tone generator makes a specific recurrence at a set force, and the speaker transduces the yield of the tone generator to shape a sound wave that then is sent to the ear trench. Second is a receiver and sound level meter that will screen the sound inside the ear waterway. Thirdly, a weight pump and manometer, the weight pump guides changes in gaseous tension to the ear trench, and the manometer demonstrates the measure of pneumatic stress passed on to the ear channel.
Immitance in measured in consistence, consistence is the development of the tympanic layer. This is finished by empowering the ear by an immaculate tone and a steady force. At that point the sound weight level is measured. This estimation is then used to decide the impedance (how well the vitality streams however the framework) of the center ear and the tympanic film and everything that is appended to it. The immittance of the ear is gotten from a couple wellsprings of mechanical and acoustical solidness, mass and resistance. The solidness segment originates from the volumes of air in the external ear and center ear spaces, the tympanic layer, the ligaments and tendons of the ossicles. The mass originate from the ossicles, the ear drum and the perilymph. The resistance is presented by the perilymph. The impedance of a protest is needy of recurrence. The recipe for deciding impedance is the square foundation of R2 + (2p f M – S/2p f )2 when R= Resistance, M = Mass, S = Stiffness, f = recurrence.
A couple of things to remember are that mass is a vital variable for high frequencies and firmness in the imperative figure low frequencies for the reaction of the framework. Resistance is for the most part controlled by the tendons that append to the ossicles and the mass is dictated by the heaviness of the ossicles and the tympanic layer. Solidness is resolved basically by the weight the liquid from the cochlea on the footplate of the stapes.
Tympanometry and Acostic Reflex fall under the class of immittance audiometry. Tympanometry is the term for assessing the development of the tympanic film. Ordinarily this is a graphical show of the adjustment in consistence of the tympanic film as the ear trench weight is differed from negative to positive. As weight change from zero to its greatest negative or its best position impedance increments. The point in the diagram where the weight in the ear trench is equivalent to the weight in the center ear pit impedance is at its base esteem, at the end of the day, consistence is at its most astounding worth. The graphical show is known as a Tympanogram can have a few sorts. In clinical utilize these charts are separated into various Jerger sorts so as to analyze. A Type A tympanogram is portrayed by weight that is + 50mm H20. This is named typical. The Type B tympanogram is embodied by no pinnacle and creases level. This is as often as possible in serous or constant otitis media. The Type C tympanogram is recognized by a pinnacle demonstrating negative weight in the center ear. This is as a rule because of Eustachian tube brokenness. An unusual typanogram can be resolved in the event that it has an excessive number of pinnacles or on the off chance that it is too wide.
An acoustic reflex is the thing that happens when an adequately extreme sound (70 dB HL) is exhibited to either ear or it brings about the withdrawal of the stapedius muscle in both ears. This reflexive muscle withdrawal hardens the conductive system by means of the stapedius ligament, and changes the ear's immitance. The acoustic reflux is effortlessly measure in light of the fact that the immitance switch is grabbed by the test best and showed on the immitance gadget meter. How this functions is that the afferent nerve from an ear goes to the ipsilateral ventral cochlear core. Neurons then go to the predominant olivary buildings on both sides of the brainstem. Both better olivary buildings on send signals than the facial nerve cores all alone sides. And after that at last the efferent engine legs of the acoustic reflex include the privilege and left facial nerves, which guide the stapedius muscles to contract in both ears.

Preferably an all around qualified audiologist ought to change the settings to address an individual's issues and match the endorsed measure of commotion or sound power reasonable for him.
Numerous Online shopping locales offer a wide assortment of portable hearing assistants. Notwithstanding, one thing to consider here is that different sorts of PC programming are required to set the perfect setup of listening devices that can meet the patient's necessities. Every listening to gadget has distinctive programming's to control it. In this way, if your audiologist does not have admittance to the particular PC programming then it would positively represent a trouble for the patient. A large portion of the destinations do change the settings for you yet you have to send your listening to gadget to the vender. In this way, it is constantly recommendable to check with your audiologist before purchasing a listening device on the web.
The audiologist evaluate the listening to requirements of a patient after an intensive listening to test that is directed in uncommonly outlined headphones and other standard supplies. It helps the audiologist to choose the listening to prerequisites, way of life and every day communications of a patient and suggest a listening to gadget that is in a perfect world appropriate to help the patient carry on with a typical life.

Rendering is a process that is automatic which is used for creating a photorealistic image. It is very important in architecture and design visualization. 3D Services are used in 3D rendering, 3D visualization, 3D architectural modelling and 3D walkthrough animation.
There is a platform set up by 3D architectural visualisers and 3D animators to help architects interior designers, individuals and builders in walkthroughs, visual renderings and flythroughs. Their services are affordable and offered to architectural firms located offshore. They have experienced well qualified designers who can help meet all building needs.
How does Photorealistic Rendering Help?
Photorealistic rendering is getting a very real looking artificial image from a 3D computer. This image is generated by a computer having BIM software and provides a three dimensional model of the project. The geometric pattern has the same colours and texture of the actual material including the illumination of natural and artificial sources of light.
A photorealistic rendering shows a model of a project that is not present as though it exists. In this way photorealistic rendering of projects is done and advertised to attract customers to invest in the projects. BIM software has been a boon in architectural design to help in bringing about a lot of accuracy in geometric calculations and the final BoQ data along with the skill to display a noticeable photorealistic 3D vision to the prospective customer.
When showing the design of a building to a client it is best to show them in detail so that they can get the right idea of the room spaces and the external layout of the place that is going to be the future home. By making use of rendering you can get a complete picture of the different phases of the project. In photorealistic rendering a customer also can get involved as he can see the design and can ask for modification and look at the result.
This is very good for the client, the architect and the builder as all misunderstandings can be rectified and the building can come up as per the architect's design. Rendering has become a very good tool to advertise new projects before building to attract new customers who would like to invest. BIM software is very useful in architecture for rendering 3D images.
Most architects and interior designers believe that 3D is the best that could have happened to the modern world. It helps to add glamour to new projects and also bring in new opportunities. The company involved in 3D visualization has brought in very effective solutions to a large number of problems. Architectural rendering will present any project in a better light than sketches of future design would have done.
It will help you to present a better picture among the competitors. Today product visualization is a must if you want to present your project in the best light and attract buyers. Rendering services in 3D will help in making presentations outstanding with everything needed highlighted in the design. Showing architecture render you will be able to get faster approval.

The so-called "secret" of "How To Reduce Body Fat" is really no secret at all… it's plain common sense. It is based upon the principle of maintaining a healthy balance between diet and exercise which is the ONLY recipe proven to as a long term and effective way address the issue of "How to Reduce Body Fat Percentage." Do not be misled it is not possible to reduce body fat by only adjusting your diet or your exercise program. Both components are equally important and necessary in losing body fat.
It is a fact that "Body Fat Gain" results from upsetting the balance between calorie intake and calories burned in the body and anyone truly understanding how to reduce body fat will have a focus on addressing and correcting this problem.
– a product or program is delivering what it promises – is targeting the real underlying issues of reducing body fat – the product is healthy naming just a few.
It is so often found that products or programs teaching "How To Burn Body Fat" are completely off the mark, in that they either place all of the emphasis on correcting the eating habits but neglect the necessity for exercise. Or the total focus is on exercise ignoring or minimizing the necessity for a healthy diet.
Maintaining the right balance between healthy eating and regular exercise has always proven to be the most effective way to reduce body fat. This doesn't suggest that you will suddenly have to starve yourself or go over top with an exhaustive exercise regime. You merely need to reduce the consumption of the apparent fatty foods as well as those foods high in sugar and continue or begin an exercise program that will include 30 to 45 minutes 6 days a week of aerobic exercise and light resistance training doing many repetitions in a short time.
It is also important that you do NOT cut out important food groups such as carbohydrates or protein from your diet as some diet products propose. These are vitally important components in any diet and one should instead learn how to reduce body fat by consuming these in the correct ratio and at the right time of day.
The same goes for exercising. Morning exercise, before breakfast, has proven to have a greater effect on burning body fat than exercising any other time of the day.
In short, the key to how to reduce body fat successfully dwells in the word "BALANCE". The right balance between diet and exercise is essential if you want to see lasting results.

When you think about healthy eating you think about fresh foods and portion control and while those are big parts of healthy eating there are other things to take into consideration as well.
Is your diet supplying you with enough nutrients to help your body be healthy?
For instance, are you lacking iron in your diet as iron is an essential nutrient? The fact that you lose some iron everyday means you also need to replace it each day. If you don't and do not eat enough iron rich foods you could develop iron-deficiency anemia and you may begin to feel week, cold, unhappy, exhausted, and suffer from headaches. All of that from not getting adequate iron in your diet. So you can see how your diet should be full of adequate amounts of nutrients to keep your body running physically and mentally.
If you eat a bagel for breakfast, lunch, and supper then you are missing out on a balance with other foods. You need a good balanced diet for good healthy eating.
For instance, consider calcium. Let's say you get enough iron in your diet but don't get much else. Many foods that are high in iron are poor in calcium and a diet lacking calcium can cause poor bone development and bone loss. So to obtain both iron and calcium you have to balance your food choices and eat a good amount of both.
We all know this when we are trying to lose weight but we barely think of it when we are trying to maintain a healthy weight.
The amount of energy taken in should equal the amount burned off throughout the day to maintain a certain weight. Simple as that. This allows you to control your body fat and weight to your liking and not gain the weight and have to burn more calories than you take in just to lose it all.
Moderation is the key to a healthy diet. This does not mean abstinence or self-denial, it just means moderation. So if you like a certain junk food you can eat it moderately, like once a week, for good health but if you start to eat it every day then it becomes a health risk.
Moderation doesn't just include junk food or fatty food it also includes food that is considered healthy as well. For instance, a good amount of fiber in the diet contributes to a healthy digestive system but too much can contribute to nutrient loss.
To go with moderation and balance, variety is using these talents to the fullest. You should not eat the same food every single day, even if it is highly nutritious food. You may miss out on some important nutrients in your diet that you could be getting if you mixed things up a little.
Also, eating the same thing every day may be doing more damage than good for your health by giving you larger amounts of toxins, additives, and preservatives.

In case of breakfast it is good to think about wholegrain cereals, like bran flakes, shredded wheat and Weetabix. Make sure that they are wholegrain by checking the label and also keep an eye out for their sugar level. In order to make the breakfast healthier you should avoid mixing with full fat milk; instead opt for skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.
As part of a healthy diet plan you could also have some hard boiled eggs and bread or toast. In order to make the breakfast healthier, use olive spread instead of butter. Also muesli, yogurt and fruit are always wise choices for breakfast.
In case you feel like you need some snacks, but want to have healthy foods to eat, then consider having crisps that are low in fat and salt, fruits, granola bars or some tea with little sugar.
This is also an important meal, and this is part of a healthy diet plan. You could have half a tin of baked beans with wholegrain toast, or tuna with boiled pasta and sweet corn. If you like them, chicken breast and turkey breast are also healthy foods to eat and you could have salad sandwich with them, just make sure that you don't have too much mayonnaise or sauce with it.
Having a salad is always a good choice, so try making some at home. If you want to stick to a healthy diet plan you can add prawns, chicken breast, tuna, and let's not forget about the vegetables either.
You could also have noodles, but they should be low in sugar and buy only those brands that promote themselves as being healthy.
Salmon is a good solution if you are looking for healthy foods to eat. You can bake them grill them or steam them and also add boiled vegetables or roasted potatoes. Don't use too much oil or butter though.
Homemade curry is also a part of a healthy diet plan. Use some healthy oil, like olive oil, sunflower oil or rapseed oil; add a lot of spices and a bit of low fat yogurt. Finding healthy foods to eat isn't as difficult as it may seem at first.
Yogurt supplies enough calcium to your body. This food prevents you from getting osteoporosis, fights against bacteria, boosts your immune system, prevents yeast infection and has wonderful anticancer properties.
Remember that not all yogurts are probiotic, so make sure that you read the label before buying. Yogurt can be topped with walnuts, blueberry, honey, and flaxseed, which makes good breakfast for you. Also, plain and low fat yogurt can be added with creamy salad dressings.

The common quote, "every journey starts with a single step" springs to mind and in fact one of the most important things about the journey that we take is avoiding overwhelm, planning well enough to minimise stress while still be ready to embrace change as life throws obstacles in our path. This was the approach I took when Lola and I were driving around Europe last year, 6 months of planning yet many things influenced the outcome of the trip. It wasn't a problem though, it actually helps to tell the story in the book, to encourage people not to be afraid and to challenge themselves to create that life that is embellished with experiences you can share with your grandchildren.
Similarly we have a plan for building the life of our dreams. We are currently in our "stability" stage; I have a 5 year plan and 2014 is the year of establishing a strong foundation before we move towards the bigger vision I have for Living La Vida Lola as a mother, an author and a coach.
I will talk later of the importance of creating a plan but for now I shall tell you the focus of May. My vision for Living La Vida Lola in the future encompasses being a resource for those wishing to make positive change in their lives as well as being an educational and entertaining website. Our personal journey involves travelling, writing and researching which I believe gives Lola a wonderful education as well as serving the purpose of following our dream to have a small property somewhere in the Mediterranean.
In fact, my first book which is about the road trip we took last year will be the first in a series following us as we explore the culture and lifestyle that we are lucky to have on our doorstep.
It is very hard to juggle being a single mum with creating a business so I hope to inspire others through our actions. That is where my tagline, Follow Our Journey, Create Your Own comes from.
Let me inspire you then help you to take action towards achieving your own goals.
I'd love it if you subscribed to our newsletter by using the form on the right hand side of the page, it's a long journey ahead but it would be great to share it with you and the best bit, it's FREE!
All in all over the coming months I want to grow this website into a place for you to come to dream, to be inspired and most of all to create the lifestyle that you desire, just like Lola and I are.
I will be back soon with another post so for now, explore and enjoy!

Large Chinook Run Set to
Rumble Through Salmon River
by Brian Smith
Times-News, January 30, 2014
STANLEY -- Like a classic muscle car, a well-traveled Chinook salmon draws interest from all around.
With a good run expected to return to the upper reaches of the Salmon River this summer, there could be a traffic jam of both anglers and Idaho's trophy fish.
Take heart, Magic Valley anglers -- with the low snowfall this year and such an influx of fish expected, water conditions should be ripe, said Jason Brunson, Stanley resident and fishing guide for White Cloud Rafting Adventure.
"That fish has to run 900 miles out to the ocean, do their years out there and come all the way back," Brunson said. "It is almost sad that you target them after that journey, but they are big and strong fish."
Pete Hassemer, Idaho Department of Fish and Game anadromous fish manager, said that Chinook returns to the Snake, Clearwater and Salmon rivers are expected to be some of the best in recent memory.
He said 83,000 hatchery-bred Chinook and 42,000 wild fish are predicted to enter the Columbia River headed for Idaho waters. Last year's actual run was 45,000 hatchery fish and 22,000 wild fish, he said.
Forecast breakdowns are just for the hatchery Chinook.
Of this year's 83,000 fish, Hassemer said, 39,900 will cross Lower Granite Dam headed for the Clearwater, upper Snake and Salmon rivers. Of that run, 26,600 Chinook will head up the Salmon River. Last year's forecast for the same population was 16,000.
"Based on the forecast there are sufficient fish coming back that we can plan fisheries in all these areas, and from this point forward we will be working with the regional staff and fish managers," Hassemer told the Idaho Fish and Game Commission on Jan. 16.
The immature upper Salmon River fishery has seen only five season openings in recent memory. The 2013 season was scratched due to the decade-low return of Chinook.
Of the 26,600 Chinook forecasted to swim up the Salmon, 4,400 will be headed to the Sawtooth Hatchery near Stanley and 1,700 to the Pahsimeroi Hatchery.
That's a four-fold increase from last year's forecast of 1,428 for the Sawtooth and 350 for the Pahsimeroi. Actual returns for those hatcheries last year were 1,238 for the Sawtooth and 363 for the Pahsimeroi.
"It is hard to say whether those (forecasts) are going to shake out or not," said Jon Hansen, a Fish and Game regional fishery biologist.
Hansen said Chinook usually arrive around the North Fork of the Salmon River at the end of June, but the run's timing is "fairly broad." Angler interest builds and usually hinges on water levels, he said.
"Often times it is not unusual to have high water toward the end of June, as well, and that's why when the first fish get here, the angler interest might be low because the river might be so high that it's not fishable," he said.
If Fish and Game announces a season, it will usually last only six to eight weeks at most, Hansen said. That narrow window turns the river into a combat fishing zone, he said.
"They hit it pretty hard," he said. "Often times I would say our Salmon fisheries are very intense."
Anglers tend to stack up in several well-known holes along the river, Brunson said.
"If the fish are here running, it usually ends up being busier than the steelhead season," Brunson said.
Hansen said fly fishermen often switch to a bait rig on a spin-casting rod and reel to fish Chinook. Spoons and spinners work well from the shore, while plugs and poppers work from a drift boat.
The second-most popular bait is cured salmon eggs looped to a hook and topped with a Spin-N-Glo or Corky. The most popular bait is a little stranger, yet easier to come by, he said.
"Some people just even use tuna from a can," Hansen said. "They'll take a little mesh bag and . . . put that on a hook and fish it just like they would cured row. People are pretty effective with it."
On the fly rod, try fishing a single red, orange or yellow salmon egg pattern on a size 10 egg or caddis hook, said Les Reitz, a Twin Falls member of the Magic Valley Fly Fishers.
"You can physically see the fish slide back and watch that fly and then you re-flip it again," he said. "Two or three passes and that fish would probably take that fly."
Fly fishers can try an egg-sucking leech or bunny leach in any number of colors, from pink to chartreuse to purple. Use a piece of split shot six to eight inches from the fly, and dead drift it along the bottom, he said.
Or, anglers who prefer to experiment can tie a pattern Reitz said he invented but doesn't have a name for.
"It's a quarter-inch-wide zonker rabbit strip I tie for the tail in chartreuse," he said. "Then I'd do a body of polar chenille in a fluorescent pink. It has got fibers that stick out to a quarter of an inch and you have to sweep them back as you tie. It has got a real pulsing motion. Then I do another collar of the chartreuse rabbit."
If Fish and Game opens a season for the upper river in June and July, anglers will need to heed regulations -- natural Chinook, those with an intact adipose fin (the small one closest to the tail), must be released. The bag limit for hatchery, adipose fin-clipped fish will depend on the size of the run.
"Sometimes they'll say it's two fish, or three," Hansen said. "It just depends on if the fisheries managers are trying to extend the length of the fishery and provide more opportunity for everybody."

Are you planning to see the laser shows in Lumbini Park, Hyderabad city of Andhra Pradesh state India? If yes, you must read this article to know the details of Lumbini Park including the laser shows, timings and contact details and many more.
Parks are always an interesting place for human beings. They are seen in different parts of the world. In India also you can see different parks. This article gives you information about the Lumbini Park located in Hyderabad city of Maharashtra state, India. Before going into the details of this park, I think I should mention about Hyderabad and Secunderabad of Andhra Pradesh state, India. We all know the fact that both are twin cities of India. When we speak about the location of Lumbini Park, remember that it is located adjacent to the Husain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad city of India. I forgot to inform you that this is a beautiful park which you should see. Also you must note that Lumbini Park is an urban park spread over an area of 7.5 acres.
Every year this park is attracted by tourists from different parts of the world. The Birla Mandir and Necklace Road are situated very close to this park and so without doubt we can say that tourism is increasing daily. Lumbini Park was constructed in the year 1994 at a cost of INR 2.35 crores and is now maintained by BPPA (Buddha Purnima Project Authority) which is functioning under the directives of Andhra Pradesh Government. In honor of Late Tanguturi Anjaiah or Ramakrishna Reddi Talla, who was the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh from 1980 -1982, the Lumbini Park was named as T. Anjaiah Lumbini Park. Have you heard about the blast that occurred in Lumbini Park in the year 2007? If not, read the following post.
In the year 2007, a series of bomb blast occurred in Hyderabad city of Andhra Pradesh state, India. About 44 people were killed and at the same time 60 were injured. Among the blasts, 2 occurred in the evening hours in laser auditorium, an additional facility constructed in the Lumbini Park to enhance the inflow of visitors. At the time of incident about 500 people were present in the auditorium. After this incidence, the park was reopened to the visitors after installing metal detectors.
Lumbini Park is opened on all days except Monday. This is an ideal place where you can relax. The important features of Lumbini Park include a laser auditorium, boating facilities, gardens, musical fountains, waterfalls, floral clock and many more. The fountain dances to the tune of Hindi and Tamil songs. During this time, the parks are crowded with visitors. I hope after reading this information related to Lumbini Park, majority of you may be planning for a trip to this city. Without doubt I can say that you will enjoy the beauty of this park.


Q: What is the Mortgage Credit Certificate program?
A: The Mortgage Credit Certificate program allows first-time home buyers to take advantage of a special federal income tax credit. This program allows buyers credit in qualifying for the tax advantage they'll receive after they purchase the home.
To see if your community has an MCC program, call your local housing or redevelopment agency. You also may inquire with your real estate broker or the local association of Realtors.
Q: Are taxes on second homes deductible?
A: Interest and property taxes are deductible on a second home if you itemize. Check with your accountant or tax adviser for specifics.
Q: What home-buying costs are deductible?
A: Any points you or the seller pay for your home loan are deductible for that year. Property taxes and interest are deductible every year.
Q: How do you choose between buying and renting?
A: Home ownership offers tax benefits as well as the freedom to make decisions about your home. An advantage of renting is not worrying about maintenance and other financial obligations associated with owning property.
Q: Explain the home mortgage deduction?
A: The mortgage interest deduction entitles you to completely deduct the interest on your home loan for the year in which you paid it. You must itemize deductions in order to do this, which means your total deductions must exceed the IRS's standard deduction.
A: Today a vacation home can be purchased for investment purposes as well as enjoyment. And yes, there are tax benefits.
Q: Are there tax credits for first-time home buyers?
A: Many city and county governments offer Mortgage Credit Certificate programs, which allow first-time home buyers to take advantage of a special federal income tax write-off, which makes qualifying for a mortgage loan easier.
Q: Are seller-paid points deductible?
A: As of Jan. 1, 1991, homeowners have been able to deduct points paid by the seller. This deduction previously was reserved only for points actually paid by the buyer.
Q: How do I save on taxes?
Q: Why buy a house?
Q: What are the rules for mortgage credit certificates?
A: To qualify for a mortgage credit certificate, both your income and the purchase price of the home must fall within established city guidelines. These guidelines vary by city but generally only permit people who earn an average income or slightly higher than average income.
A: Points paid by the buyer or the seller are deductible for the year in which they are paid.
Q: Where do I get information on IRS publications?
Q: How do I reach the IRS?
A: To reach the Internal Revenue Service, call (800) TAX-1040.
Q: How are fees and assessments figured in a homeowners association?
A: Homeowners association fees are considered personal living expenses and are not tax-deductible. If, however, an association has a special assessment to make one or more capital improvements, condo owners may be able to add the expense to their cost basis. Cost basis is a term for the money an owner spends for permanent improvements throughout their time in the home and is used to reduce eventual capital gains taxes when the property is sold. For example, if the association puts a new roof on a building, the expense could be considered part of a condo owner's cost basis only if they lived directly underneath it. Overall improvements to common areas, such as the installation of a swimming pool, need to be considered on a case-by-case basis but most can be included in the cost basis of any owner who can show their home directly benefits from the work.


Running seven marathons is a decent amount, but running on seven continents in seven days seems unbelievable.
Yet, Heather Hawkins is defying all odds and beating cancer along the way.
Heather's journey is one of overcoming the hardship of cancer and the challenge of running. She continues to be an inspiration to thousands across the globe as she pushes the limit of a diagnosis.
Heather was humming along in life, until she was diagnosed with Stage 1 Ovarian cancer. Her world soon tumbled into surgery and a long recovery process, but her determination to get healthy never ceased.
She now has beat cancer and successfully finished several marathons across the world. Heather competed in the marathon of a lifetime that consisted of seven marathons, on seven continents, in seven days, known as the World Marathon Challenge. Running in extreme weather changes, and battling the mental fatigue, she successfully completed the marathon challenge with a profound feeling of joy.
Heather is living inspiration of what you can do when you have a second chance at life. I asked her a couple of questions to share with our Running Stats family. To anyone who has stared cancer in the face, her words are inspirational and gives hope in the challenge of illness and running.
What helped you overcome your diagnosis?
"Within days of my diagnosis of Ovarian cancer, I was undergoing major surgery – a total hysterectomy and removal of both ovaries – and fortunately for me, my tumor was found at Stage 1. Very soon I was out of the hospital and embarking on my road to recovery. I yearned to be normal again, so I set about getting fit, keeping busy and picking up my life again as quickly as I could. Certainly the love and support of family and friends made this so much easier. I focused on the positives and didn't let fear define me.
How has your diagnosis and recovery pushed you to where you are now?
"'A shifting compass' and 'have courage' are words that find their way into my conversation a lot more these days. I have become more keenly aware that we need to make the most of life. To change our attitudes and behaviour and focus on the big picture items, on the important things in life.
Aim to be the best person we possibly can be. To be fit, healthy, embracing opportunities, to be caring and actively nurturing goals and creativity. I'm so much keener now to experience adventure, to push the personal boundaries, no longer content to just hum along in life.
My foray into Marathon running has certainly demanded a big slab of time each week, discipline and a great deal of training. But I love it. With every race I learn something new, whether it's finding new ways to cope with different conditions, how to deal with exhaustion and how to push through to the end.
You competed in the World Marathon Challenge, what was it like crossing the finish line?
What would you tell other runners who are fighting cancer?
Thank you Heather, you are an inspiration to many and we look forward to following your journey in what you accomplish next!

Diagnosis Diagnosis
Genetic testing for Roussy Levy syndrome (RLS) is available. RLS is one of the many different types of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). The genetics of the CMT disorders is complex. Once the different forms of CMT were classifed largely based upon their signs and symptoms. Now we know that alterations in the same gene can cause more than one type of CMT, and that a single type of CMT can be caused by alterations in more than one gene.
RLS is caused by alterations in the MPZ or the PMP22 genes.[6] Alterations in these genes can also cause other forms of CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 and 2, Dejerine–Sottas neuropathy, hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies, and congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy).[7] A variety of other gene alterations have been implicated in other types of CMT (for example, CMT1 can also be caused by MP22, LITAF, EGR2, and NEFL gene alterations).[8]
We strongly recommend that you speak with your healthcare provider to discuss questions regarding your past testing result, and to learn if additional genetic testing would be informative for you. You may wish to speak with your provider regarding a referral to a genetics professional. Genetic professionals are a source of information for individuals and families regarding CMT testing. More information about genetic consultations is available from Genetics Home Reference at http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/consult. To find a genetics clinic, we recommend that you contact your primary healthcare provider for a referral.
The following online resources can help you find a genetics professional in your community:
GeneTests has a searchable directory of US and international genetics and prenatal diagnosis clinics.
The National Society of Genetic Counselors provides a searchable directory of US and international genetic counseling services.
The American College of Medical Genetics has a searchable database of US genetics clinics.
The University of Kansas Medical Center provides a list of US and international genetic centers, clinics, and departments.
The American Society of Human Genetics maintains a database of its members, which includes individuals who live outside of the United States. Visit the link to obtain a list of the geneticists in your country, some of whom may be researchers that do not provide medical care.

Treatment Treatment
There is a lack of published information regarding the treatment for this condition specifically; however, as Roussy Levy syndrome is considered a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease resembling CMT type 1, the symptoms may be managed in a similar manner.[6] While there is no cure for CMT1, treatment is specific to the signs and symptoms present in each individual and may include:[9][10]
Special shoes, including those with good ankle support and ankle/foot orthoses (AFOs) to correct foot drop and aid walking
Orthopedic surgery to correct severe pes cavus (high arches)
Forearm crutches or canes for walking stability
Serial night casting to help increase ankle flexibility
Acetaminophen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents for musculoskeletal pain
Antidepressants or anti seizure medications such as carbamazepine or gabapentin for neuropathic pain
Beta blockers or primidone for tremors
Physical therapy and occupational therapy
Exercise within each individual's capability
Additionally, there are certain medications that are potentially toxic to people with CMT as they may worsen CMT symptoms.[10] The Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA), an organization supporting CMT, maintains an updated list of medications that present varying risks for worsening CMT neuropathy.

While the Trump administration practices climate change denial and inaction, cities and states across the U.S. are taking action.
Columbia is a city that is in a red state, as Benjamin noted, but it is one that is tackling climate change. The city's goal is to use 100 percent renewable energy by 2036. Columbia is part of Sierra Club's Mayors For 100 Percent Clean Energy. It is the first city in South Carolina to power all of its city council meetings with renewable energy. It has converted 95 percent of traffic lights to energy-efficient LED technology. This year, the city will open a new water distribution and wastewater management facility that has been designed to LEED Gold level.
"As part of our efforts to make Miami more resilient, I also pledge to complete a city resiliency master plan that will take into account all climatic events, not only sea level rise – King tides, storm surge, and rainfall, in order to avoid some of the mistakes made in other cities when allocating resources to this issue," he said.
There is a good reason why Suarez referenced climate change in his swearing-in speech. As he said at the ClimateOne conference, Miami is "ground zero for climate change." Hurricane Irma hit Miami in 2017, causing flooding and damage.
Since Trump's election cities across the U.S. have pledged their support for the Paris climate accord, despite Trump's having withdrawn the U.S. from it. In December, over 50 municipal leaders across the world committed to moving forward with climate action and achieving greenhouse gas reductions at the North American Climate Summit in Chicago. The leaders signed the Chicago Climate Charter, an international charter on climate change, which commits cities to achieving a percent reduction in carbon emissions in light with the Paris agreement.
In July 2017, California Governor Jerry Brown and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched the America's Pledge initiative. The goal of the initiative is to aggregate and quantify the actions of states, cities, and businesses in the U.S. to decrease their emissions consistent with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
The Interior Department released a proposal in January to increase offshore drilling on both coasts. The proposal includes seven lease sales in the Pacific region, with six for the California coast. Under the proposal, there will be the largest amount of lease sales in U.S. history. California's State Lands Commission sent a letter to the federal government stating that the state will not approve new pipeline or allow existing pipelines to transport oil from new offshore leases.
"I am resolved that not a single drop from Trump's new oil plan ever makes landfall in California, where our leadership in reducing emissions and curbing pollution has enabled exceptional economic growth," said Lt. Governor and Commission Chair Gavin Newsom in a statement.
There is a political saying that as California goes, so goes the nation. Perhaps California's defiance of the Trump administration's environmental destruction will prompt other states to take similar stands.
