Do Chiropractors Treat Back Pain?
Do Chiropractors treat back pain? Many of our patients come to us to solve all their problems with back pain, neck pain or pain after car accidents. Although we find chiropractic care helpful for these problems, we have a larger goal. Our purpose is to remove the interference to the nervous system and restore as close to perfect as possible the nervous system flow so the body can heal itself.
The following article from New Hampshire Magazine explains what our work as Doctors of Chiropractic focus on.
In the March 2014 issue of New Hampshire Magazine is an article with the title, "Chiropractic Care for Back Pain – Chiropractors treat back pain and a whole lot more." The article, by Karen A. Jamrog, notes that although chiropractors are known in the public for seeing patients with musculoskeletal issues such as back problems, chiropractic has much more to offer.
The article notes that physical, chemical, or psychological stressors, such as toxins and trauma can create subluxations. Subluxations then cause the body to function at less than its innate potential which can result in a variety of health issues.

What We Are Reading...
American Moonshot, by Douglas Brinkley
"The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity."
So begins this comprehensive and well-researched volume recounting NASA's commitment to realize President Kennedy's dream of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth." A history professor at Rice University, Douglas Brinkley has woven together a mesmerizing chronicle that recalls the spirit of America during one of its greatest moments in history, the race to space. One part biography, one part political history, one part rocket science, all come expertly together to retell a story that is colossal, engaging, never dull, and never old. Brinkley includes sharp color photographs (a rarity in historical works), copious notes, and a bibliography that makes for fascinating extended reading. If you pick up only one book this summer, make sure this is the one.
The Moment of Lift, by Melinda Gates
Melinda Gates' initial foray into nonfiction writing does not disappoint. As you work your way through the first pages of her narrative, you soon realize there is much about her that you do not know: She holds a master's degree in business administration and a bachelor's in computer science; she is a devoted feminist; and she originally embarked upon her tireless efforts in altruism and social consciousness in 1996, the year she left Microsoft to become a stay-at-home-mother and raise her firstborn child. After introducing you to herself, to a Melinda Gates whose voice is as unguarded as it is engrossing, she goes on to acquaint you with a collection of extraordinary women whose personal accounts enlighten you regarding the predicament of women in developing nations. The reader, whether female or male, comes to appreciate Gates' appeal for global female empowerment. The women's wide-ranging stories will inspire you – no, compel you – to feel, to take individual action, and to connect to others. And that, Gates contends, is the moment of lift, for it is through connection that "we see ourselves in others. We see ourselves as others." An affecting piece of work.
Trust Exercise, by Susan Choi
Every now and then, an original novel emerges to demonstrate to its reading audience how inventively words in the English language can be stitched together. Choi, a master storyteller and Pulitzer Prize finalist, presents an incomparable plot about young love through the filter of truth and lies. Constructed in three parts – each one titled "Trust Exercise" – the succeeding segments of the novel challenge the perspective of the preceding ones. For a girl named Sarah and a boy named David, what ostensibly is a straightforward tale about puppy love (written for adults) is anything but. Choi defies the traditional novelistic structure to offer her readers a work that strikes mental and emotional chords that won't easily settle back into sleep mode once the last page has been turned. For those seeking something different, this is the one to choose
City of Girls, by Elizabeth Gilbert
In this, the third work of fiction by the author of Eat, Pray, Love (nonfiction), we meet eighty-nine-year-old Vivian Morris. Vivian reveals the story of her succulent youth in 1940s Manhattan, and does so with a colorful mix of remorse and delight. Nineteen years old and newly expelled from Vassar College, listen as she describes her journey by train from her parents' upstate home to Grand Central Terminal: " I was always pretty, Angela. What's more, I always knew it. My prettiness, to be sure, is why a handsome man in the diner car of the Empire State Express was staring at me as I sipped my malted milk and ate my pears in syrup." Soon after her arrival in NYC, Vivian is initiated into to the glamourous world of her aunt's drama theater in midtown Manhattan. Adventures follow and a scandal ensues, but with them both come everlasting lessons in happiness, love, and freedom.
"In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them."

PULSION MBR is claimed to lower aeration energy consumption by 40%, reduce system footprint by 25%, and simplify system design and operation.
"PULSION MBR represents the next generation of MBR technology built on the same robust membrane utilised in PURON MBR systems all over the world," reports Manny Singh, Senior Vice President of Technology for KMS.
PULSION MBR pulses a large bubble through a chambered fibre bundle creating a highly efficient pumping action resulting in lower air and aeration energy requirements than traditional air scour methods. Improved recirculation of mixed liquor within the membrane module results in lowered air requirements, and also boosts achievable fluxes.
Coupling greater productivity with an increase in packing density allows the overall system footprint to be significantly reduced. Operating with a continuous supply of air eliminates the need for air cycle valves.
KMS reports that a reduced air flow rate applied to the membranes on a continuous basis, instead of high air flows applied cyclically, reduces the size of the air delivery equipment by 50%.
Koch Membrane Systems (KMS) upgrades the UK's Woolston Wastewater Treatment Works near Southampton.

Historical background to research on job loss, unemployment, and job search
Norman Feather
College of Education, Psychology and Social Work
This chapter provides a selective review of past research on job loss, unemployment, and job search up to the beginning of the 1990s. The Great Depression studies in the 1930s at Marienthal by Jahoda and colleagues and by Bakke at Greenwich and New Haven are described, along with other research at the time. These early studies sowed the seeds for subsequent research programs in England, Europe, and Australia; the theories that emerged from this early and later research are described. They include stage theory, deprivation theory, agency theory, and vitamin theory. Other more general approaches - such as stress and coping models and expectancy-value theory - are also described as relevant to the unemployment experience. The historical review provides lessons about the importance of using a variety of methodologies that include descriptive field research, survey and questionnaire studies, longitudinal research, and research across cultures. It also suggests that progress will involve the application of midrange theories about work, paid employment, and unemployment targeted to particular issues such as psychological well-being, health-related problems, social and family effects, and job-search behavior.

Such a great Great Britain

Your question: What were two advantages England had in fighting a war in America?
What advantage did the British have in fighting the war?
What were two military advantages Britain had over the colonists?
What were patriots advantages?
What are some advantages the Americans had over the British in the war which one of them do you think was the most significant Why?
Which advantages did Britain have against America during the American War for Independence?
What were some disadvantages the British had during the Revolutionary War?
What advantages did America have over the British?
What are two British advantages?
What were the American advantages in the Revolutionary War?
Britain's military was the best in the world. Their soldiers were well equipped, well disciplined, well paid, and well fed. The British navy dominated the seas. Funds were much more easily raised by the Empire than by the Continental Congress.
What were two great military advantages Britain had over the colonists? They had the most powerful navy in the world, which they used to transport troops and supplies, and to set up blockades. The British also strengthened their army by hiring mercenaries- soldiers who serve another country for money.
The patriots advantages included fighting on their home ground; fighting for the freedom of their own land, which gave them an advantage over the hired Hessians of the British army; and their brilliant leader George Washington.
Americans had home field advantage, British supplies was far away, strong motivation to fight, and George Washington. Give two reasons that people in the colonies stayed loyal to Britain. They relied on the British for jobs and thought the war would be to much trouble. The soldiers could be trained and paid.
THIS IS FUN: How are UK coins counted?
Which advantages did Britain have against America during the American War for Independence? They had a well-trained army and had access to funds to recruit foreign soldiers. What was the function of the colonists' committees of correspondence?
What key disadvantages did the British have in the American Revolution?
They had a long distance from home which made soldiers less effective due to lack of sleep, home sickness, exhaustion, etc.
They never adapted their fighting style which hurt them.
British soldiers were fighting because it was their job, while Americans were fighting for freedom. Another advantage the colonists had was the fact that American forces were fighting on their own ground. They knew the terrain, roads, mountain passes, and swamp lands of the colonies.
Advantages the helped the Americans win the Revolutionary War include: better leadership, foreign aid, knowledge of the land, and motivation. How did the end of the war affect Loyalists?

Ms. Cicely Tyson is an actress, lecturer, activist, and one of the most respected talents in American theater and film history. From her starring role on Broadway in The Blacks (1961), to the Emmy-nominated 1999 HBO film A Lesson Before Dying, her work has garnered critical and commercial applause for more than sixty years. Her two Emmys for The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman made her the first African-American woman to win an Emmy for Best Actress. In 2013, Ms. Tyson won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for her performance as Miss Carrie Watts in The Trip to Bountiful. A capstone achievement came in 2018, when she became the first Black woman to receive an honorary Oscar. The Board of Governors voted unanimously to honor her with the award, which came 45 years after her Academy Award nominated performance in Sounder.

Nail fungus affects about 30 million people worldwide. It causes nails to become yellow or discolored. As the infection advances, the nail can become thick, brittle and separate from the nail bed. It can also cause pain when wearing shoes or walking. The common sources of infection include swimming pools, public showers gyms and nail spas. Tight fitting shoes and nail trauma can also lead to infection. Genetic susceptibility, poor health and increasing age can also increase the risk.
GenesisPlus applies large laser energy to the nail plate and surrounding tissue. The laser light gradually heats the fungus and promotes the growth of healthy clear nails.
How is it Procedure Preformed?
After an initial consultation with the physician, she determines if treatment with GenesisPlus is appropriate. The procedure requires NO anesthesia, and the treatment typically takes 40 minutes to treat all 10 nails. It is recommended to treat all 10 nails even if there is no visible sign of infection, as fungus can be transmitted undetected. There is no patient down time after the procedure. Following the treatment the nail will grow out appearing clearer and healthier.
Symptoms include discolored nails, yellow streak under the nails, brittle crumbly or raged nails, nail's separate from the underlying skin, buildup of debris under the nail, white spots or streaks on the nail surface.
The GenesisPlus procedure involves passing the laser beam over the infected nails and surrounding skin. It is repeated until enough energy has reached the nail bed, your nail will feel warm during the procedure.
When will I see results from Laser GenesisPlus?
You won't notice anything immediately after treatment, but as your nail grows out, the new nail growth should be clearer. Toenails grow slowly, especially nails infected with fungus.

Credit Queen Victoria for the Tradition of the White Wedding Dress
B. Loved Bridal Boutique
Why Are Wedding Dresses White?
In Western countries, most brides choose white gowns to be married in. White, of course, is associated with qualities like innocence, purity and virginity, but these qualities may or may not be important to every contemporary bride. Not all wedding dresses are pure white, either. Wedding dresses come in a range of hues, including ivory, eggshell, ecru, cream and vanilla. You'll find the largest assortment of beautiful wedding dresses at a bridal boutique that specializes in helping you find a gown for the most special day of your life.
Queen Victoria and the White Wedding Gown
Until 1840 when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg, most brides wore colorful dresses on their wedding days that could easily be repurposed for other occasions. The reason the 20-year-old Victoria insisted on being wed in a cream-colored satin gown is that she wanted to show off the delicate Honiton lace that embellished her sleeves, neckline and train. It was a deliberate attempt on the Queen's part to boost the English lace trade though she cared enough about making her own memories to have the template destroyed after the lace was made so that it could not be copied.
Victoria also clad her bridesmaids in white and issued a request that no other wedding guests wear the color. Victoria's choice was controversial because, at that time, white was considered to be one of the colors of mourning. So popular was Victoria and her love story that soon every bride in England insisted upon being married in the girl queen's color. One hundred and eighty years later, white is still the most popular color for bridalwear.
The Bride Wore Red
Of course, white bridalwear is not the norm in every culture. In China, India, Pakistan and other Asian cultures, wedding dresses are traditionally red. Many of these cultures now opt for a double wedding celebration at which the bride may wear traditional colors during the ceremony but switch to white for a Western-style reception.

Bailout Suggests It's Time to Rethink Multiemployer Pensions
Sean Higgins • 12/14/2022

President Biden announced last Thursday that the government would give $36 billion to bail out the multiemployer Teamsters Central States Pension Fund. It is the largest amount of federal aid ever provided for a pension plan, according to the administration, and proof that the phrase "too big to fail" doesn't just applies to union endeavors as well. The funds came from the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.
The basic problem is that the fund is a multiemployer one. Businesses collectively pay into it and if a business goes bankrupt the remaining ones are obligated to cover for it. A decade ago, the plan had 1,900 companies paying in, according to The Wall Street Journal. Today the number of companies is just 1,000. Some companies went out of business. Others got out when they became justifiably worried about how much they were on the hook for. The United Parcel Service paid $6.1 billion to the fund in 2007 as part of a deal to exit the fund.
Unions prefer multiemployer plans because the workers remain in the pension program even if their company goes out of businesses or they switch jobs. That keeps the workers tied to the union and helps unions retain members.
The Central States Pension Fund is an extreme example of what can go wrong with these funds. Once a fund gets into trouble, remaining in it becomes a liability. That prompts companies to try to get out, which further weakens the fund, leading to a vicious cycle. New businesses avoid getting involved in the first place. That the $6.1 billion cash infusion 15 years ago still could not set things right shows how deep the troubles went.
"Prior to the American Rescue Plan over 200 multiemployer plans were on a track to insolvency," noted Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY) (No relation).
Biden and supporters of the move argue that too many people would be harmed if the pension were not bailed out. It was so underfunded that Teamsters members faced as much as a 60 percent cut in their benefits. "This matters for workers," Biden said. "This matters for their spouses, this matters for their mothers and fathers who they're taking care of."
The problems with the Central States Fund have been known for years. As The Wall Street Journal reported in 2013: "With just 60 cents of assets for every $1 in obligations, the Teamsters pension fund is considered in 'critical' status by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. … 'There is a reasonable possibility that this plan could run out of money in about a dozen years,' Central States Executive Director Thomas Nyhan said in an interview."
Eleven years later the federal government bailed it out.
Unions supposedly exist to represent their members interests. That should include ensuring a stable retirement and moving away from risky multiemployer plans. Biden's action rescued the Central States Fund this time, but unions can't count on always having an ally in the White House.

Critic Reviews of "A Hard Days Night"
The movie never feels like a nostalgia trip. It moves, breathes and sings with life.
The results remain pop perfection.
The whole movie is an ecstatic mix of serendipity and invention. The Beatles were ready for their cinematic breakthrough.
Let's talk about joy, and about wistfulness, because one so often trails the other, and both are woven into the DNA of A Hard Day's Night.
At best, it is fun. But "fun" is not an aesthetic experience: fun remains on the surface. I have nothing against the surface. But it belongs where it is and shouldn't be taken for anything else.
It is fun and it will never cease to be fun. Monstrous marauding aliens can find a time capsule of this millennia after our sun collapses on itself and if they don't laugh, they should seek counseling.
Stuffed full of incident and the sort of joke-book-crossed-with-Goonery humour which the Beatles seem to have made their own, but for the most part the pace is too frantic, and the Beatles too inexperienced in comic techniques to make the most of it.
A Hard Day's Night is a chance to experience to the joyous, early days of pop - while at the same time noting how the pressures of re-energising national life were beginning to close in on the enchanting innocence of youth.

DNA better than eyes when counting endangered species
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Using genetic methods to count endangered eagles, a group of scientists showed that traditional counting methods can lead to significantly incorrect totals that they believe could adversely affect conservation efforts.
Andrew DeWoody, a professor of genetics at Purdue University; Jamie Ivy, population manager at the San Diego Zoo; and Todd Katzner, a research assistant professor at the University of West Virginia, found that visual counts of imperial and white-tailed sea eagles in the Narzum National Nature Reserve of Kazakhstan significantly underestimated the imperial eagle population there. Using DNA from eagle feathers gathered in the area, the researchers were able to identify individual DNA fingerprints for each bird.
The technique showed that there were 414 eagles, more than three times as many as had been visually observed, and more than two and a half times more than modeling suggested would be there.
"A biologist doesn't always see them coming and going," said DeWoody, whose findings were published in the early online version of the journal Animal Conservation. "Eagles are difficult to capture, mark and resight. Biologists in the field can't differentiate individuals, whereas by a genetic fingerprint geneticists can differentiate among individuals that have visited a site."
DeWoody, Ivy and Katzner, with collaborator Evgeny Bragin of the Narzum Natural Nature Reserve collected thousands of eagle feathers around roosts and nesting sites. DeWoody's team at Purdue was able to extract DNA from those feathers and determine that there were hundreds of eagles that had recently visited the site.
"Generally we say 'what you see is what you get,' but in this case it's the complete opposite," said Katzner, who used the data to model more accurate estimates of eagle populations. "When your field data are off by that much, it's difficult to build accurate models because your starting point is just so far off."
DeWoody and Katzner said accurate animal counts are an important part of conservation practices. If populations are underestimated, it could signal to decision makers that a habitat isn't important when, in reality, more animals are using it than thought. Conversely, if a population is more abundant than once thought, resources may need to be reallocated.
"We don't want to spend a lot of effort protecting a species that doesn't need that much protection," DeWoody said. "This is a science-based approach to conservation."
In the case of eagles in Kazakhstan, Katzner said the new population estimates show that the Narzum National Nature Reserve is a more important site than previously thought.
"We knew it was an important site for eagles, but we seriously underestimated its importance," Katzner said. "We used to think this was only an important site for breeders, but now we know this is an important site for birds from several life stages."
The data will be used to begin discussions about managing resources for eagles in Kazakhstan. DeWoody hopes that the findings will increase funding to use the technique on other threatened or endangered species. He said of particular interest to him is the Steller's sea eagle, a bird native to northeast Asia and thought to have a population of only a few thousand.
A National Science Foundation fellowship, the National Geographic Society, National Birds of Prey Trust and Wildlife Conservation Society funded the study.

Students raise awareness about African issues
Students discussed issues with African ambassadors Thursday night.
The Organization of African Students organized the event to raise awareness about the continent's main issues.
The event was really a huge success because we wanted to raise awareness, especially about how children have been affected by war in Africa, OSA Treasurer Akia Lineberger said.
Some GW students came to the event to find out about African issues and culture.
Students were disappointed that no ambassadors from North African countries showed up.
I wanted to talk to them about several issues in Morocco, junior Younes Tazi said. I wanted to ask them about the new king and how he dismissed the minister of the interior, only to replace him with (the king's) best friend.
Lineberger said the event was successful in raising the profile of the OSA on campus and bringing to light African issues.

Greek-letter groups lip sync for charity
Will Steward was Livin' La Vida Loca after his performance of the Ricky Martin hit brought him the Audience Favorite and Best Impromptu awards at Saturday's Karaoke Night at the Hippodrome.
The event, which was sponsored by Phi Sigma Sigma sorority, the Student Association and GW Dining Services, was a fundraiser for My Sister's Place.
Jim Eckels, a bartender at Lindy's Red Lion, helped emcee the event.
Entrance fees collected by the 10 groups who participated helped garner $285 for the organization, which serves battered women. Five groups performed in both the pre-registered and walk-on categories.
Betsey Whitmore earned the Best Solo award for her performance of These Boots Are Made for Walking.
Break dancing and back flips in the Tau Kappa Epsilon pledges' rendition of the Backstreet Boys' That Way earned them the prize for best group.
Steward, a Sigma Phi Epsilon member, received the only perfect score of the night, and said the routine was inarguably the best performance for the newest fraternity on campus.
Contestants were rated on overall performance, style, accuracy, creativity and stage presence.
Winners were given $50 gift certificates to Tower Records.
Stephanie Brown, philanthropy chairwoman for Phi Sigma Sigma, said that the event went well overall and that the sorority plans to do it again.

GW researchers release new findings on D.C. charter schools
The successes and failures of the District's 27 charter schools, which have been promoted as an alternative to the area's ailing public school system, were the subject of a recent report from GW's Center for Washington Area Studies, according to a University press release.
The study, entitled Making a Choice, Making a Difference, analyzed the impact of the charter schools, in operation since 1996. While publicly funded, the schools are exempt from many of the District's laws and regulations regarding educational curriculum.
There is one charter school for every five public schools in the District, and one student attending a charter school for every 11 in the public school system, according to the study. Charter schools are also serving low-income families, and many are specializing in special-needs education.
Yet while proponents claim that charter schools can better serve students at greater savings to the public, the study found that preliminary evidence showed these claims have yet to be realized. In general, it found notable differences between charter schools and warned that speaking generally about charter schools can mask important differences in quality, professionalism, goals and likelihood of success.
The study also said the charter school movement could undermine the public-school system and that other issues concerning the school's freedom from regulation have yet to be resolved.

Mindfulness, exercise can ease symptoms and pain in people with MS | Daily Mail Features
Shirley A. Tamayo April 8, 2022 Meditation exercise Comments Off on Mindfulness, exercise can ease symptoms and pain in people with MS | Daily Mail Features 37 Views
A West Virginia University assistant professor and occupational therapist – and hundreds of professional peers and colleagues around the world – dig deeper into wellness strategies beyond just medication in the treatment and management of multiple sclerosis .
An incurable disease affecting the central nervous system, multiple sclerosis can include an array of symptoms, from numbness and tingling throughout the body to blindness and paralysis. MS can also affect emotional health and cognitive abilities, but recent research is making inroads in restoring and maintaining quality of life for people with the disease.
According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the specific symptoms, progression, and severity of MS vary from individual to individual. It is estimated that one million Americans are living with MS. Most are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, according to the NMSS, with women three times more likely than men to be diagnosed with the disease.
Jacob Greenfield, an assistant professor in the division of occupational therapy at the WVU School of Medicine, works with MS patients and clinicians in Morgantown. He said several strategies are surfacing or resurfacing to treat MS patients.
Reduce depression through mindfulness
"Mindfulness is like an emergent practice. It's been around for a while, but we're starting to see it come back a lot more. It's used quite commonly in the MS population," Greenfield said.
"It's not necessarily about getting rid of symptoms," he said, "but it helps patients cope with common symptoms: pain, depression, anxiety and fatigue. For the newly diagnosed person, MS can be like a big pill to swallow.
Greenfield said mindfulness can produce short-term benefits for pain management, but "based on our research so far, it hasn't shown much long-term effects. It helps in pain management by helping the individual adapt to their body. It helps them to de-stress, to relax a little.
"Mindfulness is simply relaxing a patient. They feel less pain, less worry, and they don't feel as depressed. This can be done in a clinic or in a guided way. Now it's apps that do that, and some doctors will incorporate that into their practice," he said.
The NMSS reported in mid-February that an eight-week online mindfulness program significantly reduced depression in participants more than their untreated control group cohort. A component of a University of Sydney study that involved 132 people with MS, the program has contributed to increasing evidence that wellness strategies can help relieve symptoms for people with MS.
"Mindfulness," explains the NMSS, "is a form of meditation aimed at changing a person's perception and creating moment-to-moment awareness and acceptance of experiences, with the goal of reducing reactions which may worsen pain or emotional distress related to health-related changes.
John Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as "paying attention on purpose, without judgment, to the present moment and with a caring and compassionate awareness."
Kabat-Zinn, professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, has spent decades writing, teaching, and advocating for mindfulness. In 1979, he founded the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Clinic at UMSM.
The Australian study team developed the program with five 15-minute interactive modules. Topics included stress management, difficult feelings and emotions, mindful communication, self-compassion, and relapse prevention. Participants also received periodic phone calls from a psychologist to help them with the process.
According to the NMSS, the primary goal of the study was to measure the effect of mindfulness practice on depression. Secondary outcomes included pain, fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life, which were measured before the program and for three and six months afterwards.
The results showed that depression was reduced and quality of life improved significantly more among mindfulness program participants. Depression decreased even more in people with a history of recurrent depression, with benefits maintained after six months.
Closer to home, in Momentum, the NMSS's online magazine and blog, author Aviva Patz cited a similar NMSS-funded study at Ohio State University last year. The four-week study also compared the results of mindfulness training between around 60 subjects with MS and two control groups. The mindfulness training program involved breath awareness, seated meditation, and mental "body scans" (a meditative practice for focusing attention and sensory awareness of various parts of the body). At the end of the study, participants in mindfulness meditation reported having significant improvements in their ability to manage their negative emotions, compared to control groups.
"The results are very encouraging and may improve mood and cognition in people with MS," said Ruchika Prakash, associate professor of psychology at OSU, co-author of the pilot study. "We can't say this will apply to everyone," Prakash said in the article. "But the data is promising evidence that mindfulness training can help MS patients manage their emotions more constructively and positively, and improve some elements of cognition."
People recently diagnosed with MS are invited to participate in a virtual program, "New to MS: Navigating Your Journey," from 8-9:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 14. The online program allows participants to connect with others recently diagnosed with MS. and share experiences, questions and concerns with each other and with participating health professionals. Information is provided on MS and its symptoms and on the management of MS.
New to MS: Navigating Your Journey virtual programs are offered on the third Thursday of each month. Other upcoming program dates are May 12 and June 9.
Online programs can be accessed via www.nationalmssociety.org. Registrations usually reach their maximum capacity, so it is advisable to register in good time.
The mind-body connection is also linked to helping people with MS improve and maintain their quality of life. As for everyone, regular physical activity, a suitable diet and good sleep hygiene promote optimal well-being. Exercise — movement, in general, such as walking at a moderate level — can be particularly beneficial in helping people with MS manage their symptoms.
According to studies, aerobic exercise programs can help improve cardiovascular fitness, bone strength, density and flexibility, as well as bowel and bladder function. Studies add that exercise can also reduce fatigue and improve mood and cognitive abilities in people with MS.
In addition to walking (with or without a dog), other physical activities that can benefit people with MS include gardening, swimming, or even cooking and other daily household chores. Scientists also claim that a regular exercise regimen can slow the progression of MS in some people.
Greenfield agrees with the findings. "When I was in occupational therapy school, exercise was kind of a controversial topic," he said, "but a study in 2021 showed that aerobic and resistance training had a benefit for MS patients as long as they are physically able Aerobic exercise and conditioning can help relieve symptoms of fatigue, and have been shown to help manage incontinence It increases density bone and contributes to mood and cognitive function.When you strengthen the heart and lungs, you are not as tired.
"We sometimes refer patients to the National MS Society website," Greenfield said. "They have great videos that show exercises suitable for them and offer home exercises for patients. They have more information at their fingertips than a clinician can provide.
Greenfield also advocates aquatic therapy for people with MS. "You want to make sure you're not overheating and that you're going at your own pace," he cautioned. "I have a background in aquatic therapy; I have worked a lot with this population. Their symptoms are alleviated in the short term, with improvements in cardiovascular endurance and bone density.
Benefits of a balanced diet
"Obviously no diet is going to cure MS," Greenfield said, "but it's a big research topic right now on a national basis. The biggest take-home message with the diet is to promote more a healthy lifestyle to reduce other comorbidities.
"Try incorporating these food colorings into your diet. Cut to the veggie aisle, cook more at home, avoid processed foods and too much sugar, and choose whole grains over refined grains.
Let the sun shine too, advised Greenfield.
"There is a lot of research on vitamin D and biotin (vitamin B₇). Even just being in the sun, spending 15 minutes in the sun, doing physical activity can help. It's like exercising – gardening, planting flowers, doing a little gardening. Vitamin D will help with symptom management.

GotMail is the Growl notification style that I came up with. It's simple in nature, but does have a bit of added flair at the bottom as a plain black box didn't suit my needs.
The background of GotMail comes from BittBox.com and the email icon comes from Jonas Rask Design. Thanks to those that make graphics and give them away for free.
Download GotMail today and let me know what you think.

Dontnod first showed off Vampyr at E3 2017 and it looked to be darker and bloodier than a goth girl's first period, but upon release, it resembled more of a slightly too moist fart.
You play as the freshly turned vampire, Dr Jonathan Reid, whose task is to figure out just who had the balls to turn him and dump him in a mass grave and also what exactly is the cause of the weird Spanish Flu turned vampire super aids type disease that has swept London's streets. It's an interesting story… For all of 5 minutes before it becomes apparent that the developers didn't have the faintest idea how to take their elevator pitch from a cool "what if" to a final product and so they just kind of set up camp inside the elevator and hoped for the best. In retrospect, somebody should have realised this game was going to be painfully mediocre at every turn and climbed up onto the roof of this metaphorical elevator—that I've probably talked about way to much in the last 2 sentences—and snipped the god damned cables letting the project crash and burn because maybe then I wouldn't have had to ask myself "why the hell am I playing this bloody game?" so many times.
Jonathan is brave enough to shoot himself dead, I just wish the game was too.
I desperately want to say something nice about this game, but every time I try, I realise that all the noteworthy things this game tries to do ends in a miserable failure. It's sad because I really enjoyed Dontnod's previous game—Life is Strange—and had hoped Vampyr was going to be more of the same.
Okay, let's take a bite out of this s*** sandwich and explain what's going on and why it's so bad.
Right from the start, we are greeted with a cool black and white sweeping shot over some old bones and some less old corpses while Jonathan recites a gloomy, gothic poem about death pending and grass being crushed sand or something. It's a gothic story so we're bound to hear the odd sentence that makes us groan and roll our eyes hard enough to separate them from the optic nerve—that weird gooey thing that attaches to our brains, you know what I'm talking about. Offbeat dialogue aside, the game is quick to show it's true colours—quite literally as you claim your first victim the black and white washes away and colour is restored—as you're forced to run from attackers who I guess saw you bite your own sister, Mary? Soon you're cornered and have to fight and this is where my biggest issue with the game begins.
Do you like Dark Souls or Bloodborne? Because the people at Dontnod certainly did and they tried to emulate it, but it comes off as the poorest attempt at a "hardcore RPG" combat system I've ever experienced. An enemy approaches and you press
to lock on, they swipe at you with their weapon and you press
to dodge, using way too much stamina in the process, now you attack with
. There are abilities you can purchase, mapped to
and a special ultra move that is mapped to
, and they all use your stored blood, which you can get more of by pressing
to bite stunned enemies. This is pretty much the core of the combat system because although you have skills, their countdown timers are laughably too long to be used twice in most fights.
Honestly, biting enemies is useful not only for getting, but blood because you're invincible as long as the animation plays so you can recover some stamina.
There are 44 weapons in this game, but due to the terrible combat, you'll likely only favour 1 or 2 through the whole bloody game. I found the best weapons were the 2-handed Mace because it does decent damage and stuns enemies at the same time which lets you bite people for more blood or just a small respite from combat as your stamina replenishes. Alternatively, you can use the Hacksaw because it has some serious bleed damage which means you'll probably be always stocked. There are ranged weapons in this game, but they're utterly useless.
Enemies seemed to be aggressively locked on to Jonathan so even if you expertly dodge an attack there's a huge chance that they'll just snap to your new position for the last few frames of their attack animation. When they not sticking to you as your shower curtain sticks to your leg when climbing out of the shower, they're instead just glitching through your attacks. So often I've tried to deal the final blow to an enemy, but Jonathan seems to swing through the character model dealing no damage at all but opens you up for all manner of attacks.
Later on in the game you will encounter enemies that will set you on fire or crop dust you with huge green fart clouds and these will do insane amounts of damage over time and the only thing you can do to combat it is press
to consume some of your blood in exchange for health, but this will not always save you.
I can't stress enough how much I hate the combat in this game.
They suck…
They have too much HP and do too much damage.
Apparently this guy is called Fergal and I honestly can't remember anything about him, but this is the only screenshot I have of a boss fight,
There are a few hub systems in this game and in these areas there's no combat so it's kind of like a safe space. However, since you're a vampire, you can prey upon the poor sods living in these hub areas.
Pembroke Hospital will be your first and primary base of operation and probably has the most interesting NPCs, I mean I wouldn't really know because every person in this game is so god damned forgettable, I honestly couldn't remember their names, what they look like or even what their secrets are. But the game so desperately wants you to invest time in them so every now and then you'll be able to observe an NPC as they do something seedy, they'll give you a quest or they'll get sick and you'll have to cure them to either keep the district healthy and safe or just to make sure you get the most XP from them when you inevitably bite them.
Dontnod said players will have a choice on how they play, which ties into these hubs because contrary to how every other RPG works, you won't be able to level up from combat since each enemy gives you 5XP. So what you'll have to do then, is stalk these innocent people and "embrace" them for MASSIVE XP, or you could do some side quests for not so much XP. So the choice then is to play as a benevolent, kind vampire and never have enough XP to level up to meet the challenge head-on or eat everyone and breeze through the game.
Forgive me, but that doesn't seem like much of a choice.
A good story is a powerful thing. It can transport us to fantastic worlds and introduce us to wonderful characters who we will inevitably get attached to. There's none of that here.
Jonathan Reid is a scientist who specialises in blood transfusions, which is later revealed to not be a coincidence, and so he seems to be perfect for figuring out the cause of the disease and to cure it, but you spend most of the game doing lateral moves. You'll meet a woman called Lady Ashbury and she'll ask you to find out who's blackmailing her and Jonathan, who must be experiencing his first-ever erection, just foolishly accepts and runs off to solve the case. Later you'll meet a secret vampire society, but they'll ask you to go turn a wealthy and powerful businessman because he's scared of death… There's a disease! It's killing people at alarming rates! There are god damned quarantine zones all over London! Let me find a cure for God's sake! Or at the very least let me figure out what's causing it— Oh, so the game is just going to have this boss character, who I've only just met, reveal what caused the vampire super aids. Fantastic.
Jonathan, who the game tells us is the only person who can figure this out, is a clever man. He should be able to figure it out, but because he spent the whole game running god damned errands for everyone, he never got a chance to flex his sexy scientist brain.
The last section of the game after this is actually pretty streamlined now that we can develop a cure and have one last boss fight, however… Right at the end, you'll get to experience such a flimsy romance shoehorned in. It honestly comes out of nowhere. Jonathan and Lady Ashbury have like 3 or 4 exchanges throughout the whole game, but they fall in love. Sure. Whatever.
In order to get the platinum for this game, you need to be a masochist and to play the game without "embracing" any NPCs—you can bite people in combat though—which is going to make combat so much worse.
When you get to chapter 6, save and start the most boring collectable grind of your trophy hunting career.
Once you've collected everything, go and "embrace" everyone until all districts are hostile.
Reload your save and go kill the last boss.
That's really it. But the challenge is trying to not to force your thumbs into your eyes every 30 seconds as you travel between sections and the game decides it needs to stop and load the next area for a minute or two.
I forgot to get a screenshot of the platinum popping so here, have this comical image of a enemy being trapped behind a door.
Don't play this game
But if you insist
I mean, there's always a chance I'm just being an unfair loser and the game is actually good… Naaahh.
Pass on it! Vampyr attempts to do many things but fails at every single one. Just watch a let's play on YouTube if you really want to see how the story unfolds.
Sometimes the lighting looks nice
It doesn't ALWAYS drop frames
Loading is long enough for you to make a coffee and drink it
The story isn't interesting so you don't mind if you miss a bit
Voice acting is bad
Dialogue is worse
Character models are ugly
Combat kills any joy this game has
Map is small and boring
Decisions aren't important
Bronze Trophy
Vampyr has potential and it's often squandered, but there's likely fun to be had if you use the Infinite XP glitch which would remove combat as an obstacle.

Fresh coffee should be treated like fresh bread. Time is of the essence with coffee and there is no substitute for fresh coffee. Even the best storage methods will not replicate fresh coffee in the cup. However, there are some things you can do to mitigate the coffee in your cupboard from degrading like a drunken family at Thanksgiving.
First off, try to consume the coffee within two weeks of the coffee being roasted. Coffee reaches its zenith approximately 72 hours after roasting. During this time, the coffee is degassing, that is, releasing CO2 gas in large amounts.
Coffee should be stored in an airtight glass container and stored in a cool, dark place. If the coffee is really fresh, it might pop the top open; but after 72 hours, this should not really be a concern. We want to keep oxygen from interacting with the coffee. Coffee, heat, moisture and light are the enemies.
Cool, dark, dry places (such as pantries and cabinets) are best for coffee storage. People often ask if they should refrigerate the coffee. That answer is an emphatic no. There is moisture in the refrigerator and please remember that coffee is hygroscopic. That is, it will absorb any and all flavors around it. If you have fish in your refrigerator, be prepared to have fish flavored coffee. When it comes to freezing coffee, that question and answer gets a lot more complicated. There is no moisture in a freezer, and thus, the coffee stands a much better chance than leaving it in a heated area, or in the refrigerator. When it comes to freezing coffee our answer is usually this: if you are not going to consume the coffee within two weeks, freeze it in an airtight container, otherwise, store it in a cool dark place. But freezer storage doesn't extend the shelf life. And once you remove coffee from the freezer, don't put it back. A freezing-thawing cycle is guaranteed to introduce moisture.
After opening the coffee packaging, the coffee will begin to degrade quickly. It is imperative that you transfer the coffee to an airtight container as soon as possible. Glass or ceramic containers with airtight gaskets are perfect for storing coffee. If they are clear glass containers, please make sure to store them in a dark place.
The best way to keep your coffee fresh is to buy a quantity that you will drink within two weeks. If the coffee is going to be stored longer than that, a freezer is an unacceptable storage method as long as it is an airtight container.
Ground coffee has more surface area than whole beans, so it will begin to degrade much faster. Grinding your coffee before you brew will ensure that essential flavor compounds are not being oxidized as fast.
If you're a true coffee connoisseur you probably are not purchasing your coffee at the grocery store. If you are purchasing at a grocery store, please realize that you should be purchasing bags with one way degassing valves over vacuum sealed bags or cans. The one way degassing valve is an indicator that carbon dioxide has been allowed to release without oxygen being allowed to enter the beans. Furthermore, vacuum sealed coffee has to degas before it's sealed or else it will pop the container open. This period of waiting for the coffee to degas allows oxygen to oxidize the coffee beans. Coffee stored in bags with a one way degassing valves will be packaged immediately after roasting, thus eliminating the oxygen from oxidizing the beans.
Remember, the four enemies of fresh coffee are air, moisture, heat, and light. Knowing how to properly store coffee isn't like launching the Space Shuttle. But knowing the basics about coffee properties will go a long way towards ensuring that perfect morning cup of coffee.

Bridging the Gender Inequality Gap in the Media
By Valentina Ieri	Reprint | | Print |
UNITED NATIONS, Mar 9 2015 (IPS) - Despite the vast number of media outlets and news sources worldwide, women and girls are still not getting enough attention in the news.
That is why the Global Media Monitoring Project (GMMP), the largest study on gender and media, launched a new fundraising campaign on March 5th to improve gender equality.
Every five years since 1995, the GMMP has picked a single day of the year to analyse global media coverage with respect to gender.
Through such analysis, GMMP has discovered great disparities between women and men in news coverage. The organization claims that "even though women make up more than half the world's population, less than a quarter of what we see, hear or read in the media are the voices of women."
GMMP's investigations show that the ways women and men are represented in news stories highlights gender discrimination and stereotypes. The organisation brings its results directly to governments, and tries to persuade them to change policy.
The fundraising campaign invites people to contribute $10, and to invite 10 friends to do the same, in order to raise enough money to launch another monitoring day. It is organized through social media and calls on users to reach out to their friends and networks using Facebook, Twitter and other platforms.
The idea of a one-day study of gender representation in the world's news media was developed at the 1994 international conference "Women Empowering Communication", in Bangkok. In 1995 volunteers from 71 countries monitored the news in newspapers, on television and radio, and collected over 50 000 media records.
GMMP continues to re-examine the selected indicators of gender in the news media, comparing female presence with male visibility, gender bias and stereotypes in news content.
On the last monitoring day, in 2010, results showed that only 24 per cent of news subjects on television are female. Men are usually portrayed as experts in their field. On the internet, 16 per cent of female news subjects were addressed as victims in contrast to 5 per cent of male news subjects.
GMMP involves grassroots organisations, university students, researchers and experts working on a voluntary basis.
GMMP explains that women and girls become second-class citizens when their concerns are not reflected in the news, saying that their activity "challenges media organizations and professional journalists to implement editorial policies that are fair, more balanced, and more gender friendly."
The project is run by the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC), an international non-governmental organisation that promotes social justice.

You can decide easily the flooring of different rooms of your house easily. But while it comes to the matter of your bathroom, it becomes quite difficult. Restroom is a place which everyone wants to see clean and beautiful whether in office or in house. When you go to choose floorings for restroom, you will have several options like, stone, ceramic, glass, marble and so on. Make sure that the tile you are choosing for the rest room is according to the entire interior of house and your children can maintain this flooring. So what are you thinking for? Choose the right bathroom tiles Melbourne and give your bathroom a new look.
The benefits of natural stone: The first and primary benefit of using natural stones instead of using other flooring is its durability. None but natural stones last for a long time. Undoubtedly, this type of stones is the sign of quality and longevity. And you will perhaps never think how long it lasts if you maintain a natural stone tile properly. That is why people of ancient period choose natural stones for flooring. But from last decade one more time natural stone is capturing the market as people are attracted to it. Although natural stones are cost effective but still it is like one time investment and you will get back double of your investment while you sell your house. Apart from a restroom, one can easily use natural stone tiles for walls.
The benefit of ceramic tiles: Ceramic tile is not at all natural, but it is a man-made product. However, ceramic tile has also become the choice of people for last few years. Ceramic tile is made by mixing fried clay and several sediments. Ceramic tiles are pocket friendly and the reason of its cost friendliness is the easy availability of its raw materials. Besides, you need not to give much time to maintain such ceramic floors as it is easy to clean. Ceramic tiles are crack and scratch resistant and can bear heavy pressure. Moreover, ceramic tiles are available in several colours and shapes.
The benefit of Glass tile:Glass is considered as one of the most breakable materials. But, still glass which is used for flooring is thick and not hard to break. On the other hand, glass tile gives your restroom a beautiful look and prevents water and stains. One of the primary benefits of glass tile is that it makes your area bigger than it is in real.

This Complex Functions Theory a-3 text is the third e-book in a series which has previously characterized analytic functions by their complex differentiability and proved Cauchy's Integral Theorem, as well as provided alternative proofs which show that locally, every analytic function is described by its Taylor series. Complex Functions Theory a-3 builds on these previous texts and collects related applications, proving the argument principal, introducing criteria of stability in dynamic systems, visualizing many-valued functions through their corresponding Riemann surfaces, and elegantly solving some Dirichlet problems. This e-book and previous titles in the series can be downloaded for free here. All theorems are accompanied by their proofs, and all equations are explained and demonstrated in detail. A comprehensive index follows the text.
Readers interested in a full overview of complex analytic functions should refer to the related titles in this series, all of which are available for free download on bookboon.com: Elementary Analytic Functions - Complex Functions Theory a-1, Calculus of Residua - Complex Functions Theory a-2, and The Laplace Transformation I – General Theory - Complex Functions Theory a-4.

Inglorious Empire: What The British Did to India

Petrarkizm – tendencja literacka, polegająca na naśladowaniu twórczości renesansowego poety włoskiego Francesca Petrarki jako wzorca poezji miłosnej.

W późniejszych epokach wiersze Petrarki miały wielu naśladowców. Opisy urody kobiecej zawarte w wierszach włoskiego mistrza stały się niedościgłym wzorem dla wszystkich poetów miłości, a imię Laury - symbolem idealnej kochanki. Naśladowcy Petrarki przejmowali od swojego mistrza sposób prezentacji ukochanej, subtelne analizy uczuć oraz charakterystyczne dla autora sonetów do Laury środki stylistyczne, takie jak antytezy i kontrasty. To zjawisko odwoływania się poetów europejskich do średniowiecznego wzorca było niezwykle trwałe, bo żywe aż do XIX wieku.

Petrarkizm w Polsce
Petrarkizm nie zyskał w Polsce takiej popularności, jak w innych krajach europejskich. Przyczyny tego stanu rzeczy są złożone, m.in. brak tradycji filozofii neoplatońskiej i średniowiecznej miłosnej poezji rycerskiej.

Średniowieczna koncepcja miłości wyrażana w poezji nie przyjęła się w Polsce. Rangę tego tematu w literaturze polskiej podnosi dopiero Jan Kochanowski. Polski petrarkizm cechuje jednak odejście od petrarkowskiego 'ja' - egotycznego podmiotu, dominującego w sonetach, w stronę adresata.
Petrarkistowskie rozdarcie: niepewność, rozterki, motyw walki z samym sobą i ze światem, paradoks życia i śmierci występują w twórczości Mikołaja Sępa Szarzyńskiego, zwłaszcza w erotykach.
