Governor Walz looks to expand broadband across greater Minnesota
If the measure is approved, $70 million would be used to supply rural communities with new broadband infrastructure.

ROCHESTER, Minn.-Take a minute to think about how much you rely on the internet during a typical day.
Whether it's for work or entertainment, it's probably a lot. Not everyone has access to reliable internet.
That's why Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is working to keep his campaign promise of expanding broadband services in rural areas.
The state wants to provide strong broadband to 100% of homes in Minnesota by 2026.
That's Governor Walz's goal for expanding rural broadband,
state officials say that internet access is a real issue for people in smaller communities.
Jimmy Cooper and Kate Murphy couldn't imagine life without internet.
They're college students who depend on it almost every day.
"I think it's super important that people in rural communities have access to internet that's why libraries are great and after school programs are great but not everyone can afford that," said the students.
If passed, the broadband initiative is expected to will help 193,000 people and businesses gain access to reliable internet services.

Why mesh may remove the "I" from "IoT"
Everything we use on a daily basis is increasingly becoming connected. We already see it with our cars, thermostats, wearable devices, and appliances. However, these devices often require direct connections to the Internet to operate which means slower connections, a lack of privacy, and higher overall cost.
In things like cars, we see the need for cellular connectivity which is expensive. The chips themselves require certifications that cost millions of dollars, making the cost a barrier for new companies. In addition, when people buy a connected device they often aren't willing to purchase a data plan along with it. This means companies swallow the cost of the data plan price themselves. In cheaper devices, like thermostats and wearables, this additional cost is too high to bear, so they are often only packaged with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities.
In addition to being expensive, there are major privacy and security risks that come with allowing the data from devices to be transmitted to and stored within the cloud. We've seen examples over and over of data breaches – security is a cat and mouse game and the hackers always seem to gain an advantage and expose data and users.
In terms of network efficiency, moving all of the data from these devices to the Internet or the 'cloud' is extremely inefficient. Often the people and other devices are located nearby – so sending everything to and from the Internet is a waste.
When it comes to ease of use, adding cellular connectivity is easy to navigate for users, however it is not a feasible long-term solution due to high cost in many of the future devices which will be small and cheap.
Additionally, when technology like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are used, it often requires user configuration. Many people today find it difficult to set up and use Wi-Fi in their own homes with devices like smart TVs and mobile phones, so it will likely be more difficult for them to connect devices which have no screens and complicated ways to connect to networks with security and encryption.
The solution to these problems is autonomous mesh networks built from a collection of underlying wireless technologies. Most mobile phones currently support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Cellular connectivity, along with some more specialized beacon technologies, Wi-Fi direct, Wi-Fi p2p and Multipeer. All of these can be stitched together so the devices that support the most technologies can form the backbone of the mesh, allowing cheaper IoT devices, which support only one or two of these technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, to communicate automatically and easily with nearby devices.
Right now, a mesh technology doesn't exist that can stitch together all of these underlying wireless protocols in a way that doesn't require expert users and lots of user intervention, but this technology is coming. Soon it will be possible for mobile phones to form the backbone of mesh networks, automatically select which networks to use and make use of multiple networks simultaneously.
Companies have approached this problem with special-purpose mesh routers and extra equipment, but people have enough boxes in their home. Mobile phones are already something most people have – and they are the way that people will be interacting with IoT devices anyway – so why not build the capability of the mesh into the phone in the first place?
Using autonomous local meshing, the efficiency of the network is improved; data from IoT devices like thermostats, appliances, and connected devices in the home can now be sent without the Internet to each other and to the homeowners mobile phone when they are nearby. When they are not home, these devices could fall back to Internet mode, or in the case where a phone mesh becomes widespread – it could continue to send through the mesh hopping from phone to phone until it reaches the homeowner at some farther away geographic location.
Information sharing between cars is most likely useful in vehicles located within relatively close proximity to one another. There's no need for every car within a city to know the entire state of every other car – but as two cars become closer, more information may be useful to avoid collisions and to plan routes for each car effectively.
Security-wise – since data is not being stored in the cloud – it has less permanence. The risk of a user's phone being compromised or the encryption of the data being broken along the path is still there, however, this can still happen with the Internet-enabled version. The mesh also has a unique ability to merge and aggregate data from multiple users – so perhaps this data could still be sent to the cloud, without compromising individual users identities, while still building value for companies who are interested in using this data to improve services in some way.
The critical benefit of mesh networks built from a variety of underlying wireless protocols is that each has its own strength. Some work over long distances, some work with low delay, low energy, high throughput – and all can be combined together to build something that is more valuable than the sum of its parts – just like the people it will be connecting. Which means in the future, the Internet of Things may wind up just being Things.

Ali Sriti () (b. 1919 in Tunis–d. 5 April 2007) was a Tunisian oudist, composer, and music teacher.

Biography
He learned music at a young age from his father, who encouraged him to listen to classical Arabic music including Egyptians Sayed Darwich, Mohammed Abdel Wahab, Riadh Sombati, and Zakaria Ahmed.

Sriti was influenced by the Turkish school of lutism and learned how to create and play a form of the lute, the oud, from Sheikh Abdelaziz Jemail. His first public performance was at age 11, when he sang  by Mohamed Abdel Wahab. In 1935, he joined the musical association, The Rachidia, while the next year Sriti became a member of Mohamed Triki. In 1937, Sriti became a part of the Syrian band Ali Derwiche where he learned about muwashshahs and various Arab and Turkish compositions.

After returning from Paris, where he attended concerts held at the Grande Mosquée de Paris, Sriti created the band Chabeb El Fan and worked with artists such as Kaddour Srarfi, Ibrahim Salah, and Salah El Mahdi. He directed, in 1957, three new bands to work for the national radio station. While serving as a long-time worker on the radio, he taught at the Conservatoire national de musique, though he quit in 1980 to focus solely on teaching. Among his students were Anouar Brahem and Lotfi Bouchnak.

Ali Sriti was given the Prix national de la musique en 1987 and the Grand Cordon de l'Ordre du mérite national en 1999. He died on April 5, 2007, at the age of 88.

Q: 'Undefined' when trying to access json response My flask app has code that returns the following:
return json.dumps({'status': 'OK','url': 'www.blahg.com'})

My javascript code looks like this:
$(function() {
  $('#mainbutton').click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            url: '/buttonclick',
            data: $('form').serialize(),
            type: 'POST',
            success: function(response) {
                console.log(response);
                console.log(response.url);
            },
            error: function(error) {
                console.log(error);
            }
        });
    });
});

The first console log looks correct: {"status": "OK", "url": "www.blahrg.com"}, but when I try to access the url entry, I get 'undefined' as output. what am I doing wrong?

A: You haven't parsed the JSON:
success: function(data) {
    var response = JSON.parse(data);
    console.log(response);
    console.log(response.url);
}

A: You can also use dataType to have jQuery parse it for you:
$(function() {
  $('#mainbutton').click(function() {
        $.ajax({
            url: '/buttonclick',
            data: $('form').serialize(),
            type: 'POST',
            dataType: 'json', // this bit here
            success: function(response) {
                console.log(response);
                console.log(response.url);
            },
            error: function(error) {
                console.log(error);
            }
        });
    });
});

I need some assistance with these assignment. the actual concepts portrayed by shakespeare Thank you in advance for the help! The main theme of the play was love. Love is portrayed in very many angles. The suffering and jubilations of the characters are caused by love. The varied manner in which love is portrayed makes the play suitable. There are elements of same-sex relationships. The love Celia portrays towards Rosalinda is more than friendship and indicates the diverse nature of love in the play. There is also an element of love at first sight. Orlando and Rosalinda represent the element of love at first sight. The two represent secrets within relationships in that Rosalinda is involved in a girl-girl relation without Orlando's knowledge. The plays represent the hidden sides of love while at the same time acknowledge the love that exists within family members. The actors perform perfectly to represent the main theme of the play. The actors represent the downs and lows of love. The actors, however, fail to utilize emotions and gestures in their representation.
Emotions and gestures are important while representing the mood of the play. The court mood is mixed as Fernando is ejected from the court. the actors ought to have utilized gestures and facial expressions to represent the sad mood. The actors, however, use tonal variation to represent sad and happy moods. This may fail to represent their intended purpose. The audience may fail to identify the mood of the play. The uses of words are insufficient in representing a wider spectrum as far as the play's mood is concern. Different actors fail to shore these qualities while playing their roles. However, the female actors tend to utilize both tonal variation and facial expressions to represent excitement and sad moods. Higher tones would mean anger and excitement, while low tone needs to represent sadness and disappointment. The diverse nature of the actors needs to be used to represent the intended purpose of the author.
The male actors performed averagely while representing&nbsp.Fernando and Orlando.


oday, even though lip-service is given to "differentiating" instruction, the fundamental structure of public education is based on one-size-fits-all standards, the success of which is measured by standardized testing.
"Americans…expect strict standards to govern construction of buildings, bridges, highways, and tunnels; shoddy work would put lives at risk. They expect stringent standards to protect their drinking water, the food they eat, and the air they breathe…Standards are created because they improve the activity of life."
There are proven ways in which to "standardize" the concrete and other materials that go into buildings, bridges, highways, and tunnels. The materials that go into these structures are composed of inanimate materials. Those materials have no personal wants, needs, goals, or preferences. They are engineered to uniform consistency for a specific application. Similarly, the components of air, water, and food can be measured with considerable accuracy. Therefore, creating a standard that defines those components is relatively easy.
The same does not apply to human beings! Some will argue that we are more alike than different. That may be physically true. It may even be true in terms of the most basic cognitive processes. But beyond that, the billions of connections in the brain, which constantly change throughout our lives in response to experience, produce an almost infinite variety of combinations. What assembly line can work effectively when each bit of raw material is different, not to mention constantly changing? Further, inanimate raw materials can't choose whether or not to be "molded" into a predetermind form. Human beings can! It is not only illogical, but essentially impossible, to insist that human minds conform to such limited and limiting standards.
n this assembly line organization of schools, what happens to students who can't keep up? Is it their fault? The teacher's fault? The school's fault? Or does the problem reside in the assembly line model itself?
Standards-based education is steeped in assembly line thinking—the idea that raw materials should move through the line at the same rate. If they don't, it's up to teachers to make sure they are "brought up to speed"—that they don't get "left behind" in the assembly process. Educators have lived for so long with this assembly line metaphor—are so comfortable with this way of thinking—that they no longer question the inherent logic of that premise.
Can all children (or adults for that matter) learn the same things at the same time and in the same way? Is that how natural learning takes place? Can anyone who is familiar with genetic, physiological, and psychological differences among humans, or the abundant research on how people learn say, "Yes"?
Even if all children could learn that way, does that mean that it is the most effective way to learn? Or, for that matter, that all students want to learn in that way? Of course, that question is quickly dismissed with the argument that only adults know what children need to learn. What is not so easily dismissed is that the "raw materials" reaching our schools today have already experienced multiple ways of learning far beyond anything available in Taylor's time. Personally, I see it as a hopeful sign that some learners willfully refuse to be shaped into the products defined by someone else's standards.
Has the quality of the raw material entering the school assembly line really declined so much in the past several decades? One would certainly think so when one considers the growing percentage of students labeled "remedial" or diagnosed with some "learning disability." We condemn the raw material as flawed because it can't or won't conform to the process! The mythical efficiency and productivity of the assembly line must be maintained at all costs—even if it means that more and more partially assembled parts fall off or are shunted to the reject pile!
As we saw in the standard medical assembly line story, the problems with applying factory mentality are blatantly obvious in other human contexts. Yet educational Taylorism retains its death grip on our public schools.
Holding the same expectations for all students—especially when those expectations ignore the effects of poverty as well as developmental differences, and locked to a specific age or a definition of success defined by the wealthy and powerful—is both discriminatory and contrary to both research and common sense. Yet this assembly line approach remains favored by a national policy that insists that schools use only "research-based" programs. Apparently, that requirement does not apply to the mandated policies themselves.
The Results of "Scientific School Management"
n The Myth of the Average Man, we examined the invalid concept of the "Average Man." There is no average person, yet that is the concept on which the curriculum, the tests, and much of the structure of public education are based. The question remains whether these methods have achieved their purpose of creating standardized (average) men to fill standardized jobs. Let's start with a simple test. Clearly, even the lowliest of workers need to be able to not only read, but understand what they have read sufficiently to function in the world and in their work. What has happened to literacy in the United States since 1900?
In 1900, 10.7% of 14-year olds in the United States were illiterate (unable to read or write in any language). That number in itself is deceiving. Only 6.2% of "native" white teens were illiterate. During the 19th century, large numbers of foreign-born immigrants had come to America seeking a better life or escape from political unrest. 12.9% of foreign born 14-year-olds were illiterate in 1900…and 44.5% of blacks were illiterate. Since many slaves had been prohibited from leaning to read before abolition, this was a huge improvement over the 80% illiteracy rate only 30 years earlier.
By 1979, after an exciting period in education during which inquiry and active learning flourished, the illiteracy rate among 14-year-olds in the U.S. had dropped to 0.6%…and a full 98.4% of blacks were literate.
1979 was also the year that the Department of Education became a cabinet position. This gave the federal government a much larger role in educational policy making…and control over funding. And this funding gradually became dependent on the willingess of states to adopt more rigorous standards and standardized testing—ie. a return to Taylorist standards.
In a study released in December of 2015, after decades of standards and standardized assessments, 14% of U.S. adults (32,000,000 people) read below a basic level. While they are technically literate—they can read and understand simple words and sentences…they are "functionally" illiterate in that they can't effectively use reading, writing, and calculation at a level required for many societal activities and jobs. Perhaps even more shocking is that 19% of high school graduates are functionally illiterate!
Why, when billions of dollars continue to be pumped into education, is the literacy rate declining? The answer, of course, is not simple cause and effect. But it must be blatantly clear that an increased emphasis on standardization has not only not improved the literacy of the country as a whole, but may be instrumental in substantially worsening it.
Nor have standards raised expectations, which was a major talking point in the whole standards movement. Perhaps that issue is best summed up in a 1995 letter to the editor written by a student-teacher of fifth graders.
"113 years earlier, fifth graders in Minneapolis were reading William Shakespeare, Henry Thoreau, George Washington, Sir Walter Scott, Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Oliver Wendell Holmes, John Bunyan, Daniel Webster, Samuel Johnson, Lewis Carroll, Thomas Jefferson, Emerson, and others like them in the Appleton School Reader, but today, I was told children are not to be expected to spell the following words correctly: back, big, call, came, can, day, did, dog, down, get, good, have, he, home, if, in, is, it, like, little, man, morning, mother, my, night, off, out, over, people, play, ran, said, saw, she, some, soon, their, them, there, time, two, too, up, us, very, water, we, went, where, when, will, would, etc. Is this nuts?"
n 1957, The Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development stated that "The main purpose of the American school is to provide for the fullest possible development of each learner for living morally, creatively, and productively in a democratic society."(4) We often hear people say something like "The purpose of education is to prepare children to live responsibly in a complex world." While I may agree with these statements, and many others along similar lines, it turns out that these are not factual statements. They are beliefs. And unfortunately, they bear little resemblance to what is happening in public education. Please see this article for a more complete discussion of the purpose of education. Or simply type "The purpose of education is" into a search engine to understand that there is no consensus agreement about the purpose of education!
Because federal government policy mandates much of what goes on in public schools, perhaps the best way to determine the true purpose of American public education today is found in the U.S. Department of Education mission statement.
Well, that wasn't much help. As usual, the Fed couches large goals in undefined, feel-good terms—AKA "glittering generalities." What do they mean by student achievement? What is the measure of educational excellence? The only fairly obvious term is preparing for global competitiveness, which I'm pretty sure doesn't refer to the Olympics.
Perhaps this purpose is more easily identified in the 2016 State of the Union address.
"We agree that real opportunity requires every American to get the education and training they need to land a good-paying job."
"In the coming years, we should build on that progress, by providing Pre-K for all and—(applause)—offering every student the hands-on computer science and math classes that make them job-ready on day one."
The only goal included in both the mission statement and the State of the Union message is jobs and the economy. Obviously, jobs are important —and it's reasonable to assume that an educated populace would contribute to the economy of the country. But is a job a person's only goal in life?
And doesn't "landing a good-paying job" and being "job ready" imply that the goal is to work for someone else? If that is the case, where will our entrepreneurs come from? Where will our artists, musicians, and writers come from? In the words of Jamaal Bowman, a middle school principal in the Bronx, "I don't want my kids to work for Apple—I want them to create the next Apple!"
The stated purpose of public education in the U.S. has changed little since schools were "standardized" during the Industrial Age. It's still focused on creating standardized humans to fill the jobs of the economy! The idea that education is about helping each child become his or her personal best has never been a significant goal of public education in the United States.
But wait a minute! If all children develop their unique potential along with the awareness that they can use that potential to solve societal problems, in addition to the "content" that is now the sole focus of education, would that be bad for the economy? It isn't either/or! It's both/and!
Well, O.K., but you may be thinking that people don't "really" think of schools as factories, right? In case you feel that this is all an exaggeration, here is a quote from Rex Tillerson, who was then CEO of Exxon-Mobil, from a Fortune Magazine Special Report on Common Core Standards.
If the only purpose of public education is to "produce" worker bees for business and industry, then why aren't business and industry paying for public education?
Recall that Frederick Taylor's "Scientific Management" was based on the concept of the Average Man. The word "scientific" tends to blind people to the fact that science changes as new research broadens our understanding. More recent "science" has shown that there is no such thing as the "average" person, and that any system designed around the "average" fits no one! If you haven't yet read The Myth of the Average Man, it is highly recommended for insight into the flawed premise of public education, which is based on a "standard" or "average" student. The concept of average humans is scientifically obsolete, as well as extremely damaging to human beings.

The Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, or simply Atatürk Commemoration and Youth and Sports Day, is an annual Turkish national holiday celebrated on May 19.This holiday, celebrated since 1933, marks the Turkish War of Independence and honors the pioneer of this movement, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Atatürk founded the Republic of Turkey after a major struggle to get to Samsun from Istanbul and rule over the 9th Ottoman Army. The aim of this holiday is to motivate the youth to preserve the culture and values of Turkey.Children sing the national anthem, play sports, parade, commemorate Atatürk and are reminded of the values of democracy and Turkey.Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus also commemorates this day, as it shares its culture and many of its holidays with Turkey.
The Republic Day of Turkey is one of the public holidays in Turkey, commemorating the proclamation of the republic in 1923. The afternoon of previous day is also observed as a holiday.In 29 October 1923 Atatürk declared that Turkey would be a republic and renamed it as the Republic of Turkey.Many people go to local stadiums on October 29 to watch performances dedicated to Republic Day in Turkey. Such performances usually consist of theater sketches, poetry readings and traditional Turkish dances.

How sentimental your toddler or infant could be?
Their hands and feet are adorable little, they wear small clothes and their feelings are very big, from age 2-5 years old they develop emotions demanding a lot of attention, they are intense and they produce lots of tears and smiles.
Emotional development begins at birth but before of age 2 a child's emotions are simple and reactive from their environment. It is know that young infants have tendency to cry when in their surrounding area heard another crying baby; is known as a contagious crying, and is just easily they get emotional and expressed their emotions with their parents' feelings, depressed or excitement; toddlers reflect their parents emotions and expression faces. When a mother sings to her babies, they feel emotions and connections with her, singing plays an important role in early bonding with children, captures and maintain the infant's contemplation, singing can be effective more often for infants with problems in social interactions. Singing can also be a tool to depressed mothers and capture the infant's attention.
The strongest emotions could be singing to your infant or toddler; in my situation I sign to my 2 years old toddler and he get so emotional to tears, especially when I exchange the lyrics with my talking as a part of the melody. The highest tones match with the most concentrated parts and expressions on him.

Q: Creating a JSON file to use the RPushbullet package I recently discovered the RPushbullet package and have been unsuccessfully trying to set it up for use. The author's blog provides a step by step guide to the installation of the package; however, I encounter a few issues. Here are the first two steps:

*

*Get the app (Google Chrome or mobile device)

*Create a Pushbullet account
The next step consists of inserting some information in a JSON file .rpushbullet.json in the home directory. I had never used a JSON file before that so I read a few articles on that format. Anyway, the information to put in the JSON file is:

*

*The API key in the account settings page

*The ID of the device(s)

The reason for the third step is that when the RPushbullet package is loaded, it attempts to read the JSON file in order to obtain the information in it.
I created a file with the help of notepad++ and named it .rpushbullet.json (which is the name required by the package) for it to become a JSON file (and Windows identified it as one). However (and this is the first problem), when I load the package, the file is not found for some reason. Here is the error message:
> library(RPushbullet)
Attaching RPushbullet version 0.1.1.
No file ~/.rpushbullet.json found.
Consider placing the Pushbullet API key and your device id(s) there.

The library does not "see" the JSON file I created. The error message suggests that I add the API key and the device ID to the file. The author actually provides a code which generates the json code to copy and paste in the file:
> library(RJSONIO)
> cat(toJSON(list(key="..your key here..", devices=c("..device a..", "..device b.."))))
{
 "key": "..your key here..",
"devices": [ "..device a..", "..device b.." ]
}

As mentioned above, the API key is easy to obtain because it is in the account settings page. The device ID, on the other hand, I could not obtain from the Pushbullet website. After some research, I learnt that it was possible to obtain the device ID from within R with the jsonlite package. Here is the code and the ensuing error message:
> fromJSON(pbGetDevices())$devices[,c("iden", "nickname")]
Error in fromJSON(pbGetDevices()) :
  error in evaluating the argument 'content' in selecting a method for function 'fromJSON': Error: Neither option 'rpushbullet.key' nor entry in package environment found. Aborting

Apparently, the JSON file I created in the home directory is not "seen" by any package.
I need your help, please.

A: First, if it says that it cannot find a .rpushbullet.json file, where are you saving it? It should be within whichever directory is returned by Sys.getenv("HOME") (e.g., /home/username, /Users/username, ...)
As I'm playing with it, it appears that what the API is returning has changed ever-so-slightly, because RJSONIO::fromJSON() is no longer interpreting it the same. (This might be a bug?) There are several ways I've found to reduce the return properly. I'll mimic pbGetDevices() and mention where I diverge:
apikey <- "a1...98"                ## replace with the string of your API key
txt <- sprintf("%s -s %s -u %s:", RPushbullet:::.getCurl(),
               "https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/devices", apikey)
jsonres <- system(txt, intern = TRUE)
## res <- fromJSON(jsonres)        ## this doesn't work anymore
res <- Reduce(rbind, RJSONIO::fromJSON(jsonres)$devices)[,c('iden','nickname')]

The variable res now has a data.frame with two columns, the device ids you need, and the nicknames show you (as you save them to your .rpushbullet.json file) which is which.
(Oh, ensure that notepad++ is not secretly appending a .txt to the filename. This is a common windows thing, helping to "protect" you from the debilitating inconvenience of being exposed to file extensions.)

A: Allow me to quote the documentation of the package (and echoing what @r2evans wrote):

One possibility is to use a file \code{.rpushbullet.json} in the
  \code{$HOME} directory. (Note that on Windows you may have to set the
  \code{$HOME} environment variable.)

If you want the convenience of a file, put it into $HOME. Create $HOME on an OS that does not have it.
You are not forced to use that file. You can equally well use any R startup file to populate options().

A: I encountered this too. For me, it was the result of installing and loading RPushbullet, followed by adding the .rpushbullet.json file to my HOME directory. At that point, the package did not yet recognize the new .rpushbullet.json file.
Yet simply detaching and then reloading the package made it recognize it:
install.packages("RPushbullet")
library(RPushbullet)
pbSetup()
detach("package:RPushbullet", unload=TRUE)
library(RPushbullet)
pbPost("note", title="Works perfectly now!")


Wherever you go, at work, at school, at gym or at a church meeting, you almost always meet someone who has a back pain. In real life, back pain is one of the top reasons patients seek for acupuncture treatment. It makes sense since countless studies have shown that acupuncture is highly beneficial in the treatment of back pain and sciatica. In fact, when it comes to back pain, British research has revealed that acupuncture can be more effective than prescription drugs and even surgeries. In short, it works. That's why acupuncture is the top choice of treatments for millions of people all over the world for low back pain.
Your back may have been abused for years from bad posture, sitting in the traffic for hours, crouching in front of a computer all day, or heavy lifting at the gym or at work, and finally decided to give up with a "pop", silently screaming with sharp pain. If sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body (including the branches), is affected in this process you may experience pain traveling down the leg or some tingling and numbness as well. At an early stage, simple back pain may disappear with rest and over-the- counter medications. However, if not properly treated, about a quarter of the back pain will progress to become a chronic problem – one of the most common reasons people miss work for. Don't let that happen to you. Simple acupuncture treatments can save your back from devastating pain in the coming years, and rescue your back from further suffering.
More and more people are staying away from strong prescription pain killers because of their harsh side effects. Why would you swallow those strong chemicals when there are such simple and more effective solutions such as acupuncture, moxibustion, exercise, stretching, and herbs? When there's inflammation in the body, stem cells naturally flow to the affected area to heal the injury. Some researchers noted that taking pain killers actually stops the stem cells from flowing into the area. In practice, it's common to see that for those who take pain killers regularly it takes longer to recover. When you take acupuncture, white blood cell count increases to reduce the inflammation, and also the level of endorphin increases which reduces the pain. Of course pain medications have their places in medicine and play a very important role to help the patients. But for many pain disorders such as back pain, especially at the early stage, it may not be necessary or plausible to rely on heavy-weight medications.
Whether you are suffering from a back pain as a result of serious injury, a herniated disc, sciatica or even stress, acupuncture may be the best treatment option for you. Acupuncturists use different points for different purposes. Trigger points are used to alleviate pain including referred pain, local points are used to reduce inflammation and to loosen up soft tissue, and meridian points are used to facilitate circulation and to restore balance, which in turn, reduce pain and quicken the healing process.
Despite the excellent result, some people are concerned that they may have to take acupuncture for a long time. In reality, with proper treatment, acute back pain can often be cleared up in a few sessions. Chronic back pain would take more sessions, but as you get more treatments, you will experience many other positive effects of acupuncture. In general, you are advised to take frequent treatments at first, and then taper off as the pain diminishes. Another surprising "side effects" of acupuncture is, patients who receive acupuncture tend to have more energy, move more easily with less pain, sleep better, and take less pain medication while feeling better in general for no particular reasons. This is possible due to increased free flow of energy. Unlike other allopathic medicine, acupuncture is a "wholistic" medicine in which the practitioner looks at the whole body, rather than just the injured area, before deciding on the treatment protocols.
At Chang's Acupuncture, we often combine acupuncture with electric stimulation, moxibustion, cupping, tuina, and stretching to treat lower back pain. They all work together to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and promote circulation to help healing. Call us or send us an email today to find out if acupuncture is the right treatment option for you to be free from the never-ending low back pain.

Lowry Denver Homes For Sale.
The Lowry neighborhood lies east of central Denver. Named after war hero Francis Lowry in 1923 it was originally a National Guard Base, then a US Army Airfield. Since the relocation of the airfield in 1966, Lowry has undergone a radical transformation. While the Wings Over The Rockies Air Museum remains as a testament to its past, today Lowry is a master-planned community of over 800 acres of newly developed homes, public space, and parks.

My wife and I have been together for more than 32+ years at this writing. We have raised two kids and paid for their college up to the time they decided that college was not for them.
The kids were young and a housing boom was going on in the early 2000s.
We, my wife and I, borrowed money from a bank to make an addition to our home. As mentioned the kids were pretty young at that time and we needed the extra room. We paid other additional bills at the time also and all was well! Over time with the children's extra activities we, like most parents, decided we were not going to let our children grow and leave home saying "If only I had this and that as a child I could be doing this right now"! Please do NOT think we spoiled them, we do NOT, but thinking of the way my wife and I grew up, and complained in our teen years, we were going to make sure our children could not say that we did not try, with interest, in their activities! The activities, I speak of is athletics and film opportunities that are introduced to you in high school. So, we indulged to the nth degree in these activities meaning we spent alot of money for plane tickets and hotels along with other equipment our kids were participating within. We were able to pay our bills, as of yet, but just barely and many months it was only the minimum payments. Now, all kids are out of school and out of college (neither kid has a degree), my wife and I now now live alone and are quickly reaching retirement status. I cannot do heavy lifting anymore due to age (mostly) and a medical handicap. Our extra room, received from a loan, has not gone down much due to interest rate hikes! This is what I need help on, this one bill. It cost 300.00 just for the interest at this time. To pay it fully it will be $84,000.00. If nothing else, I ask assistance to help getting it where the interest rates are lower and can be paid with out paychecks. Yes, we are on a budget but as mentioned before I need just a little help…. Thank you much!

«Кэнди» () — фильм режиссёра Нила Армфилда, основанный на романе «Героин» Люка Дэйвиса. Выпущен в 2006 году.

Сюжет
Между Дэном и Кэнди вспыхивает любовь. Девушка, увлечённая своим парнем, знакомится с его богемным образом жизни и заодно — с его миром героина. Их любовь, постепенно всё больше связанная с наркотиками, дарит уже не только радость и наслаждение, но и периоды отчаяния, страданий и ломки. Отсутствие денег ведёт ещё дальше. Она идёт на панель, а он всё больше смахивает на обыкновенного наркомана, мечтающего только об одном — об очередной дозе.

В фильме три части:

1. Рай.

Молодые любовники увлечены друг другом, сексом и наркотиками. Они постоянно ищут деньги, чтобы купить дурь — занимают у родителей или у Каспера (Джеффри Раш), эксцентричного университетского преподавателя.

2. Земля.

Влюбленные женятся и познают «радости семейной жизни». Кэнди вынуждена заниматься проституцией ради денег. Дэн занят тем, что постоянно разыскивает наркотики. Однажды он крадёт кредитную карточку, обманным путём узнает ПИН-код владельца и снимает со счёта приличную сумму. Кэнди говорит Дену о том, что беременна, и пара решает оставить ребёнка. Они пытаются завязать с наркотиками, однако на раннем сроке у Кэнди происходит выкидыш.

3. Ад.

Кэнди и Дэн отправляются за город, чтобы начать новую жизнь. Однажды к паре приезжают родители Кэнди, мать устраивает скандал по поводу их совместной жизни. Тогда же у Кэнди проявляются первые признаки истерики. После этого девушка под действием наркотиков связывается с соседом, не приходит домой ночевать; придя на ферму после работы, Дэн обнаруживает их с Кэнди автобиографический роман на стенах дома. Дэн отправляется к Касперу за дозой, а Кэнди с нервным срывом отправляется в психиатрическую клинику. Дэн вместе с родителями Кэнди приезжают в клинику, где осознают: Кэнди на самой грани. Каспер умирает из-за передозировки. Некоторое время спустя Дэн завязывает с наркотиками и устраивается на работу в ресторан мойщиком посуды. В скором времени к нему приходит Кэнди, которую выписали из психиатрической клиники. В ходе встречи становится ясно, что Дэн и Кэнди всё ещё любят друг друга, однако он осознаёт, что, несмотря на чувства, они не смогут жить вместе нормально и через некоторое время вновь опустятся на дно. Понимая, что так будет лучше для них обоих, Дэн говорит, что «пути назад нет». Кэнди уходит, оставляя Дэна одного.

Judge sets court date for ex-Trump campaign chair Manafort
WASHINGTON (AP) — A judge has set a court date for this week for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort after prosecutors with the special counsel's office detailed lies they say he told them.
The scheduling conference will take place Tuesday afternoon before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson. It had earlier been set for Wednesday morning. It is unclear if Manafort himself will attend.
In a court filing Friday night, special counsel Robert Mueller said Manafort had lied about contacts with Trump administration officials and with an associate who U.S. authorities say has ties to Russian intelligence.
Manafort's attorneys have denied that he made false statements.
Manafort pleaded guilty to conspiracy in September and agreed to cooperate with Mueller's investigation. But prosecutors say his deception has torpedoed that plea deal.

Sex droughts, gross toe nails and Monday fear, Megan Fox is human. And we heart her
Just a few things you probably have in common with the star of our September cover and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Miss Megan Fox... We know we do
By Jacqui Meddings
She gets Monday Fear
"I have a breakdown every time I go to work. Once you become a mother, especially a working mother, you feel like you can never give enough of yourself. Maybe my baby needed me and I wasn't there, so he learned, "I cry for Mommy and she doesn't come." I went to work five weeks after having Bodhi. I was all stitched up, kicking and running, and I hated it. At five weeks, you are supposed to be sitting in a rocking chair with your boobs out. I'm grateful for my career, but I also resent it because it takes me away from the thing I feel I'm meant to be doing."
She doesn't always feel sexy
"Poor Brian [Austin Green, her husband]. He doesn't get any intimacy, ever, because my older son sleeps in bed with us. There are days when we barely say two words to each other, because if I have Bodhi, he has Noah, and then we switch. We've talked about going to an amazing hotel at their bedtime and coming home before they wake up, but that hasn't happened yet. Our sex life is at a standstill. I am not the person to ask about keeping a marriage hot! Joe Gorga from The Real Housewives of New Jersey used to say he was "full of poison" and needed to have sex with his wife to get rid of it. That always made me laugh, because if it's true, I'm surprised Brian hasn't experienced toxic shock syndrome."
She gets f@cked off with blokes
Hollywood is still run by middle-aged men who are intimidated by an assertive woman. I would argue to do something you'd see Shia [LaBeouf] do inTransformers, and the men involved in the movie would say it seemed "bitchy." Or if my interactions with my [Ninja Turtles] costar Will [Arnett] were a little too direct, I would hear, "Why is your character being so mean to him?"
When I'm working, I refuse to flirt
She IS a girl's girl
"I consider myself a "girl's girl" in that I'm not competitive, jealous, or catty. But I don't have a ton of female friends — I have one. Her name is Mindy and she's a facialist. I don't have many guy friends either. I've never been a social butterfly. I don't feel lonely or isolated. I have one really great friend and that's all I need."
Her nails ain't always perfect
"There's a power that comes with having a child. You've done something incredible that no man could ever do or understand. It is hard to resist letting yourself fall apart physically, because when you're taking care of a child with little or no help, there isn't time to take care of you. I just did Ellen the other day and realized I hadn't had a manicure in seven months. I had these Rihanna-like claws, but they were my toenails!"
No man has power over her
"Women don't have to be desperate and try so hard. Allow yourself to be strong and powerful and men will be crawling on their hands and knees. When I'm working, I refuse to flirt. If someone tries, it becomes an endless roast. I'll say, "Nice beard, buddy" or "You look fancy!" I know he's spent an hour doing that specific thing to his hair, and the minute I point it out, his game is shattered. I like to have men off their guard. Then you are in charge. You don't ever have to feel like someone has power over you."
