Continue readingHow to Get a Playground Communication Board for Your Local Playground
Imagine this: the sun shining, laughter echoing, and kids of all abilities playing together on the playground. Wouldn't that be incredible? YOU can make this happen! Introducing a special communication board to your community playground, ensures that every child, regardless of their communication abilities, can join in the fun.
**Why a Playground Communication Board?**
Some of our friends need a little extra help talking. A communication board on the playground opens up a world of play and connection for everyone. It's not just a board; it's a bridge that connects hearts and creates lasting friendships.
**How Can You Help?**
We believe in the power of community! By making a commitment to provide a playground communication board to your local playground, you become a superhero in making the playground inclusive and accessible for all. Here are 5 easy steps for how you can be a part of this exciting journey:
**Make a plan:**
Ask yourself (and your committee) these questions as this project takes shape:
- What playground would benefit from communication boards?
- What languages are predominantly spoken in your community?
- How would the communication boards best be installed (ie: free standing in a frame, attached to a fence, attached to a piece of equipment, secured to a side of a building, etc.)
**Research Your Options**
When looking for a company to provide the communication signs, you want to ask the following questions:
- Has a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist developed the vocabulary?
- Can the communication sign be 100% customized if need be at a reasonable price?
- Is the overall price reasonable?
- Is communication with a REAL PERSON easy, efficient and effective?
- Does the company stand behind the quality of their communication signs?
Everyone likes to be part of a great idea that helps everyone in the community.
- Research different funding opportunities in your community.
- Get creative and host a mini-fundraiser in your neighborhood, school, or workplace. Bake sales, garage sales, or even a fun-themed event can make a big impact.
- Reach Out to Local Businesses – local businesses love supporting community projects. Approach them and see if they would be interested in sponsoring our playground communication board.
**Making it all come together**
Once your vision is set, you've made your selection and the funding is in place, it is important that the production of the communication sign is fast and accurate:
- Ensure you receive a draft copy of the artwork/layout prior to production.
- Share your agency's and/or funding source's logo to be included on the communication sign
- Expect frequent and clear communication
When your playground communication board arrives, plan for a playground part to unveil this great accomplishment. Celebrate the fact that you have made a firm statement in your community that:
- Inclusivity Matters: Every child deserves the chance to play and communicate on the playground.
- Building Friendships is Important: The communication board isn't just a tool; it's a bridge to new friendships and shared adventures.
- Community Unity Matters: Together, you helped to create a community that embraces and supports every child's unique abilities.
Bonus tip:
**Stay Connected:**
Record your journey on social media with regular updates, stories of triumph, and a behind-the-scenes look at how your contributions are making a real difference.
Join us in creating a playground that speaks the language of joy, friendship, and inclusivity. Together, we're building bridges that last a lifetime!
Talking and Growing: New Year's Resolutions for Speech Therapy!
A brand new year is days away, and that means we get a chance to make some new resolutions! This year, let's think about making some special resolutions for speech therapy.
**Practice Every Day:**
One resolution could be to practice your speech exercises every day. Turn practice into playing a game. The more you practice, the better you will become!
**Use My Special Words:**
Use the special words your speech therapist teaches you as much as possible. These words help you talk smoothly, and they make you feel super proud!
**Speak Slowly and Clearly:**
Work on speaking slowly and clearly. This way, everyone can understand you when you talk.
**Tell More Stories:**
Make a resolution to tell more stories or help your child tell more stories. Share your adventures, dreams, and funny moments. It's a fun way to practice talking.
**Ask Questions:**
Ask more questions and join in conversations. Questions help you learn new things, and it's a cool way to make friends!
**Read Out Loud:**
Reading out loud is like a speech party! Pick your favorite books and read them to friends, family, or even to a pet. It's great practice!
**Be Patient and Positive:**
Sometimes, it might feel tricky, but you might want to promise to be patient. Stay positive and celebrate even the small wins. Every step is a step forward!
**Thank Your Speech Helpers:**
We help each other, and this year, thank your speech buddies. We're in this together!
**Try New Sounds:**
Be adventurous and try new speech sounds. It's like a fun challenge to make your speech even more awesome!
**Celebrate Progress:**
At the end of each month, celebrate the progress you've made. Maybe treat yourself to something special. Yay for progress!

About the area
Discover Devon
With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon's glorious English Riviera.
Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west's most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them.
Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon's towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.

Phoenix Suns F Kelly Oubre Jr. is expected to miss the restart of the 2019-20 season while rehabbing his knee, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported on Wednesday. Here's more from Shams:
Suns F Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee) is expected to miss resumption of season to continue rehabbing, reports our NBA Insider @ShamsCharania. pic.twitter.com/ujimKQZBoK
— Stadium (@Stadium) June 17, 2020
The plan is for Oubre to travel with the Suns to Orlando for the resumption of the NBA season. He won't participate but will be present to support his teammates. With everything going on, it's not all that surprising Oubre has opted to sit out. He tore his meniscus and underwent arthroscopic knee surgery back in early March before the season stopped. Usually the timeline for recovery is 1-2 months for this type of procedure, but Oubre is deciding to play it safe.
The Suns will enter the restart of the season 6.0 games back of the Grizzlies for the No. 8 seed in the West. With eight games remaining, Phoenix is a long shot to make the postseason anyway. That likely had something to do with Oubre's decision. The Suns should continue to start young wing Mikal Bridges at SF for Oubre sidelined for the return. We also could see big lineups with Dario Saric at the 3.

A good fleet of 11 A Class sailors turned up today for the first day of the A Class State Championship. Interestingly, 8 of the 11 yachts are Jon Holmes designed hulls, two hit the water for the very first time today.
PRO Ian Dickinson got us all under way after his brief briefing and we managed to get 6 races in prior to lunch. Very light conditions early, testing everyone. As expected, it looked to be a tight tussle between the top two, with results pretty evenly spread thereafter. After lunch, a further 7 races were completed, also in some testing conditions. Variable wind directions and strength kept us all on our toes. At the end of day one, we currently have Mike Hickman in the lead, on 19 points, with Lisa Blackwood a further 10 behind in second, on 29 points. Kyle Stewart rounds out the top thee, with a precarious grip on third, with 36 points. It was great to see the sailing hotly contested, but also in the right spirit amongst competitors. Looking forward to tomorrow with the conclusion of the championship. Leave a Reply. |

Hello everyone,
In some of my projects, when I try to open them, during Cubase loading the channels it will randomly crash (in different time each time), and then I have to open the project again, until finally after a few times it successfully opens the project.
So say after 4 times of crashes, I can open the project, after 30 minutes.
It might be a virtual instrument or a plugin, but when I open Cubase again it doesn't say what caused the issue.
Will a dump file help in this case? I don't understand why it causes a crash randomly (sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't).
Once the project is already open, everything works fine.
What should I do please? Can I somehow send Steinberg a crash log?
Thanks a lot in advance

Risk reduction in online dating: Translating research to practice
Methods: Risks and benefits of online dating were assessed through semi-structured telephone interviews (N=45) with women ages 50+ who seek relationships online within 50 miles of the zip code 33602. Interviews lasted approximately one hour and were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, team coded, and analyzed using ATLAS ti software.
Results: Content analysis of risks and benefits of dating online identified that many women learned about online risks through individual trial and error. Lessons learned included how to identify a scammer, strategies for a safe first meeting in person, and how to deter unwanted sexual messages. These recurrent themes highlight a need to address common online experiences prior to the initiation of online dating to reduce/avoid risks for adverse outcomes such as financial exploitation or unwanted sexual aggression. Conclusions: Health promotion efforts to decrease the online dating vulnerability of older women can incorporate strategies women currently use to minimize risk such as altering profile content to include warnings, identifying safe meeting places and exit strategies for in-person meetings, and recognizing patterns of behavior associated with false identities and scammers. How to integrate these strategies into a primary prevention program is discussed and avenues for intervention are highlighted.
Learning Areas:
Assessment of individual and community needs for health educationConduct evaluation related to programs, research, and other areas of practice
Implementation of health education strategies, interventions and programs
Planning of health education strategies, interventions, and programs
Public health or related research
Social and behavioral sciences
Learning Objectives:
List strategies older women who date online use to reduce their online vulnerability.
Differentiate between risk reduction strategies older women use online versus strategies women use when meeting a date in person.
Describe how e-dating risk reduction strategies used by older women can be used to inform public health interventions in the area of aging and dating.

text: Home CATEGORIES Education and Skill Training Lenovo Global CSR Report Shows Purpose-Driven Tech Education and Skill TrainingGlobal Stories Lenovo Global CSR Report Shows Purpose-Driven Tech By The CSR Journal - March 16, 2021 304 0 SHARE Facebook Twitter In our series of reports on multinational corporations, we are turning our gaze to Lenovo today. Lenovo Group Limited is a US$50 billion Fortune Global 500 company, with 63,000 employees and operating in 180 markets around the world. The company is incorporated and headquartered in Hong Kong, with key operations centres in Beijing, China and Morrisville, North Carolina, USA. 1. What does Lenovo do? The company has the below core business groups: – The Intelligent Devices Group (IDG) encompasses the PC and Smart Devices business, including PCs, tablets, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), smart devices, software and services, and – Mobile Business Group (MBG), including Motorola Mobility LLC (Motorola), for smartphones; and – The Data Center Business Group (DCG), which includes servers, storage, networking, software and services. – Alongside these core business groups they have invested in new and burgeoning opportunities for the future — including the launch of three new business groups as a driving force behind the transformation aligned to their 3S strategy. These groups are the Data Intelligence Business Group (DIBG), the Converged Network Business Unit (CNBU) and the Commercial Internet of Things (CIoT) group. – In parallel the Lenovo Capital and Incubator Group (LCIG) fortifies the company's intelligent transformation strategy by identifying and investing in some of today's most cutting-edge technologies that have the possibility to be the mainstream technologies of tomorrow. 2. Corporate social responsibility Lenovo's social investments are focused on STEM education and empowering diverse and under-resourced populations, themes that are integral to the success of the business. The tech company has a goal of committing a minimum of half a per cent of its pretax income to global social investment programmes and initiatives. These investments are executed through corporate and Foundation giving done through the Lenovo Foundation and Lenovo Foundation Beijing (non-profit registered in China). Business and Foundation assets are managed by a central team that is focused on collaborating across business units and geographies to maximize the impact of Lenovo's giving. 2.1. CSR highlights of last year – The company achieved its goal of impacting one million people through Lenovo global philanthropy efforts, ahead of their calendar year 2020 goal. – In May 2019, the Lenovo Foundation led the company's third annual global service event, "Love on 31." Since the inaugural 2017 event, the project grew by 70% in the number of individuals directly benefited. – The company began a new partnership with Jangala, an organization that provides network connectivity in remote, hard to reach areas, and areas impacted by natural disasters. This partnership recognizes the coupled needs of technology, quality connectivity, and education. In their first year of partnership, Jangala and Lenovo provided connectivity and hardware donations through collaborations with Amala Education and Skateistan, who provide education to refugees and underserved populations in Kenya, Eswatini, Afghanistan and Cambodia. – In November 2019, the Lenovo Foundation held its second annual grant round in celebration of Lenovo's 35th Birthday giving US$210,000 to charitable organizations around the world to support projects aligned to the foundation's mission. – Since February 2020, the company has given more than US$13 million in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. At the close of the fiscal year, the company had provided US$7 million in response to urgent technology needs for hospitals and students, with donations continuing into FY 2020-21. 3. Global Disaster Assistance Natural disasters are projected to increase in frequency and severity as a result of climate change, and communities around the world need to prepare and adapt at times of natural disaster and crises. To address this increased need, Lenovo developed a matrixed process in order to consistently respond to natural disasters based on impact and local alignment. The new process was deployed to help manage Lenovo's disaster response through the combined contributions from employees, the Lenovo Foundation, and their corporate disaster response partnerships. 3.1. Hurricane Dorian The firm responded to the needs of Hurricane Dorian with US$20,000 allocated across the Bahamas and the United States (U.S.). The Hurricane struck Ocracoke Island, a community near Lenovo's Morrisville, North Carolina, North America Headquarters. Employees volunteered and collaborated with the U.S. Veteran's Corps and the state of North Carolina to respond strategically to community members' needs. 3.2. Flash Flooding in Jakarta The corporation responded with US$20,000 directed to the Food Bank of Indonesia to provide immediate support to overwhelmed shelters and response agencies as they worked to shelter and feed hundreds of thousands of residents in the wake of Jakarta's flash flooding. 3.3. Australian Wildfires The company donated US$50,000 to the Australian Red Cross to help with response efforts to the January wildfires. Due to the impact of the wildfires, more than 30 million acres of communities and wildlife refuge burned, acutely affecting the states of New South Wales and Victoria. 4. COVID-19 Pandemic As a global company, Lenovo began responding to the outbreak of COVID-19 as early as February 2020. As the virus spread around the world, their commitment and response strengthened. By April 2020, the company's philanthropic response to the COVID-19 crisis had risen to more than US$13 million. Using smarter technology and our global footprint, their response focused on three crucial areas: supporting distance education, providing technology and personal protective equipment to hospitals, and providing general community support in the areas where our employees live and work. 4.1. Hardware The majority of the response (60%) focused on giving students and educators the hardware they need to connect and continue learning while schools are closed. Major examples include: – US$1.3 million in software and services donations to enable distance education and security for those learning and working from home. – US$2.4 million in hardware donations to support distance learning education in North America – US$1.4 million in distance learning support focused on China's Hubei province, in partnership with China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation The company's technology has also made an impact in the urgent needs of frontline workers. They provided IT equipment to optimize hospital operations and connect patients with loved ones, easing the stress of isolation during hospitalization. In fact, at the outbreak of the virus, the firm fully outfitted the newly built hospitals at the centre of the outbreak in Wuhan. In addition to technology, they donated personal protective equipment to hospitals and front-line workers. 4.2. Health The company's contributions to healthcare efforts represent approximately 30% of their global response. Major efforts include: – US$2.4 million in equipment and IT infrastructure to support hospitals in Wuhan, including more than 1200 computers, 280 tablets, 660 printers, software and support – US$400,000 in personal protective equipment donations in the U.S., Italy, Spain, India, and Brazil – US$1 million in donated product and funds to support healthcare systems in Europe and Latin America 4.3. Research Lenovo is uniquely capable of meeting the urgent education and healthcare needs communities have experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also contributed significant resources to research around the novel coronavirus, providing US$2 million in technology to BGI Genomics in partnership with Intel to learn more about the virus, and US$145,000 to the China Foundation for Health Promotion to study early survivors of COVID-19 in Wuhan. The response provided nearly US$1 million in support for basic community needs and matching for employee giving as COVID-19 disrupted markets and economies around the world. In addition to their business response, Lenovo's Chairman and CEO, Yang Yuanqing, also made a personal donation of nearly US$1.5 million to the Chinese University of Science and Technology to support their ongoing research on the novel coronavirus. 5. India and APAC 5.1. Indigenous Reading Project The company recognizes that technology has the power to catalyze learning, especially at an individual's unique pace. To aid in students' learning, Lenovo provides tablets to the Indigenous Reading Project. Their mission is to enhance and strengthen students' joy of reading by unleashing their curiosity and build on their natural motivation to learn.

In the ebb and flow of life, we often find ourselves navigating the delicate balance between being present for others and safeguarding our own well-being. A concept that struck me profoundly recently is the "gift of absence" — the realization that creating space in relationships can be a transformative act of self-love and a valuable gift to those around us. It's a poignant reminder that our availability should not come at the cost of our self-worth.
The Unseen Toll of Unbridled Availability:
In our eagerness to be there for others, we may unknowingly subject ourselves to a silent erosion of value. When our availability becomes a constant, an expected norm, the profoundness of our presence can be overshadowed. The gift of absence lies in recognizing that stepping back doesn't diminish our significance; rather, it unveils the depth of our impact.
Boundaries as Acts of Self-Care:
Establishing boundaries isn't a selfish act; it's an act of self-care and preservation. When we understand the importance of setting limits on our time and emotional energy, we create a space for personal growth and introspection. This intentional distance serves as a powerful reminder that our well-being matters just as much as the relationships we cherish.
Fostering Appreciation through Intermittent Presence:
The beauty of intermittent presence lies in its ability to spark appreciation. By allowing ourselves to be fully present in moments and taking deliberate breaks, we cultivate a sense of longing and understanding. It's in these pauses that the value of our connections becomes clearer, fostering a deeper appreciation for the time we choose to share.
A Journey of Self-Rediscovery:
Embracing the gift of absence is also a journey of self-rediscovery. As we create space for ourselves, we open doors to personal growth, introspection, and the strengthening of our identity. It's a chance to reconnect with our passions, dreams, and the essence of who we are, outside the roles we play in our relationships.

Knee pain is common and can arise from many causes. When the pain does not go away or worsens, your body is telling you that something is not quite right.
If your knee pain is not properly diagnosed and appropriate treatment is not started, more serious and long-term consequences can result.
For these reasons, it's important to know when and what doctor to see for knee pain.
If you're experiencing any type of discomfort in the area around your knees, then it's time to look into what could be causing this issue.
Knowing common causes of knee pain, how serious the symptoms are, and when you should see a specialist is key to understanding how best to treat it.
In this article, we'll explore diagnosis options as well as provide tips on when you need extra help from a professional so that you can take back control over your own health!
Common Causes of Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common complaint among adults of all ages. It can be caused by a variety of conditions, including arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, iliotibial band syndrome, and meniscus or ACL tears (anterior cruciate ligament), and a decreased quality of life.
Understanding the causes of knee pain can help you get the right diagnosis and treatment for your condition.
Arthritis is one of the most common causes of knee pain in older adults over age 50.
Knee osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage between joints wears away due to aging or injury.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that affects multiple joints throughout the body, including the knees.
Symptoms include swelling, stiffness, and tenderness around affected joints.
Treatment typically includes medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms.
Tendonitis is another cause of knee pain that results from inflammation of the tendons surrounding the joint.
Common causes include repetitive motions such as running or jumping activities; overuse injuries; or direct trauma to the area such as a fall on hard ground or stairs.
Symptoms may include swelling around affected tendons and difficulty moving without discomfort or sharp pains during movement attempts .
Treatments vary depending on severity but may involve rest, physical therapy exercises to strengthen muscles around affected areas, icing after activity, NSAIDs for symptom relief, bracing for support, and steroid injections if needed.
Knee Bursitis
Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs located near major joints like those found in your knees which act as cushions between bones and soft tissues like skin muscle ligaments etc.
When these become inflamed it's called bursitis which can lead to severe joint pain, especially with movements involving bending kneeling squatting, etc.
Treatment usually involves resting avoiding activities that aggravate symptoms applying heat/cold compresses taking NSAIDs if necessary using braces/orthotics doing physical therapy exercises stretching strengthening improving posture wearing comfortable shoes etc.
Meniscus tears occur when there is damage done to the cartilage within your knee joint, causing intense localized pain, swelling, locking sensation, clicking noises while walking, and instability.
Diagnosis usually requires imaging tests like X-rays or MRI scans as well as arthroscopy surgery if needed.
Common causes of knee pain include overuse, trauma, and age-related wear and tear or degenerative conditions.
Knowing the cause of your knee pain can help you determine what type of doctor to see for further diagnosis and treatment.
Knee Pain Diagnosis
It's important to get an accurate diagnosis in order to determine the best treatment plan.
When it comes to diagnosing knee pain, the first step is usually visiting your primary care doctor or family doctor.
They will ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, as well as perform a physical exam of your knee joint.
This may include checking for swelling, tenderness, range of motion, and any signs of instability or deformity.
Your doctor may also order imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans to look for any structural damage in the bones or soft tissues around the knee joint.
These tests can help identify issues like fractures, arthritis, torn ligaments and tendons, bursitis (inflammation of fluid-filled sacs), cartilage tears (meniscus tear), bone spurs (osteophytes) and other problems that could be causing your pain.
In some cases where there are no obvious signs on imaging tests but you still have persistent knee pain with no known cause after several weeks of conservative treatments like rest and medications have been tried without success, referral to an orthopedic knee specialist might be necessary for further evaluation and management options such as injections or surgery if indicated.
If you experience sudden onset severe pain with swelling in one leg accompanied by fever, it is important to seek medical attention right away.
This could indicate an infection that requires prompt treatment with antibiotics before more serious complications occur from the spread of infection into deeper structures around the joint area including blood vessels leading up towards the heart and lungs.
The key takeaway here is that getting an accurate diagnosis is essential when it comes to treating knee pain effectively, so don't hesitate to seek professional help if needed.
If you experience persistent knee pain, it is important to seek medical advice from a qualified healthcare provider in order to get an accurate diagnosis.
Once you have received your diagnosis, the next step is understanding when to see a knee doctor for further treatment.
When to See a Knee Specialist
Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, overuse, and medical conditions.
When knee pain persists or worsens despite treatment at home or with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication, it may be time to see a specialist.
If you experience any of the following symptoms along with your knee pain, you should seek help from a specialist:
• Severe swelling that does not improve after 48 hours
• Pain that is worse when standing or walking
• Redness around the joint area
• Unusual warmth in the affected area
• Difficulty bending or straightening your leg completely
• Unexplained fever
In addition to these signs and symptoms of an underlying condition such as arthritis or infection, other indicators that you need to visit a doctor include:
- If your knee gives out without warning
- If there is instability in the joint
- If there is persistent locking of the knee; if clicking noises are heard when moving it
- And/or if numbness occurs in certain areas around the joint
It is also important to get checked out for possible fractures even if there isn't severe pain associated with them.
A doctor will be able to determine whether further imaging tests such as X-rays are necessary
A physical therapist can also provide guidance on exercises designed specifically for strengthening weak muscles surrounding the knees, which can help reduce inflammation and discomfort.
If surgery is needed due to an injury or degenerative disease process, they will refer you to an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in treating problems related to bones and joints like knees.
In some cases, medication might be prescribed depending on what type of condition has been diagnosed; always follow up with their advice accordingly.
If your knee pain persists or worsens despite at-home treatments, it's important to see a specialist to determine the best course of action for you.
Next, let's explore some potential treatment options for knee pain.
Treating Knee Pain
Fortunately, there are several treatments available to help relieve the discomfort and improve mobility.
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce inflammation and provide relief from knee pain.
Prescription medications may also be prescribed for more severe cases of knee pain.
These include corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which block certain enzymes that cause inflammation in the body.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy exercises can help strengthen the muscles around your knees and improve the range of motion in the joint.
This will help reduce stress on your joints and decrease pain levels over time.
Your physical therapist may also recommend other therapies such as ultrasound or electrical stimulation to further reduce swelling and discomfort in your knees.
Lifestyle Changes
Making lifestyle changes such as losing weight, avoiding activities that put strain on your knees, wearing supportive shoes with good arch support, using assistive devices like crutches when needed, and stretching regularly before exercise or activity can all contribute to reducing knee pain over time.
Additionally, maintaining an overall healthy diet rich in vitamins A & C helps keep cartilage strong while providing essential nutrients for healing damaged tissue around the joint area.
In some cases where conservative treatments have not been successful at relieving knee pain, surgery may be recommended by a doctor or specialist if necessary.
Surgery options vary depending on what type of injury has occurred but could include arthroscopic procedures to repair torn ligaments/tendons, realignment surgeries to correct misalignment issues, total joint replacement surgeries, etc.
Resting your legs whenever possible is important when dealing with any kind of knee injury or chronic condition.
Applying an ice pack wrapped in cloth directly onto the affected area for 15 minutes every few hours throughout the day can also help reduce swelling.
Heat therapy through hot baths, heating pads, and warm compresses should only be used after 48 hours following an acute injury since heat increases blood flow which could make swelling worse initially.
Stretching exercises specifically designed for strengthening weakened muscles around the affected area are another way you can manage symptoms at home without needing medical intervention.
FAQs in Relation to What Doctor to See for Knee Pain
What is the best doctor to see for knee pain?
The best doctor to see for knee pain depends on the severity and cause of the pain. Generally, a primary care physician or orthopedic specialist can diagnose and treat most types of knee pain.

A physical therapist can also help with managing chronic knee pain through exercise and other treatments.
Ultimately, it's important to discuss your symptoms with your doctor in order to determine which type of specialist is best suited for you.

Effectiveness and complications of ultrasound-guided subclavian vein cannulation in children and neonates
Background The ultrasound (US)-guided supraclavicular approach to subclavian vein (Sup-SCV) catheterisation in children has recently been described and evaluated in a small cohort. The aim of this study was to assess this technique in a large paediatric cohort including neonates. Methods We conducted a prospective observational study between November 2010 and December 2013 which included 615 children divided into two groups according to their weight: Group 1 ≤ 5 kg (n = 124), Group 2 > 5 kg (n = 491). All procedures were performed under general anaesthesia by an anaesthesiologist or a supervised resident. The success rates of catheter insertion, the number of punctures required, the procedure time, and the complication rates were analysed. Results Sup-SCV catheterisation was successful in 98% of the cases and was higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (99.4% versus 92.7%, P < 0.001). The success rate after the first attempt was higher and the incidence of multiple attempts (≥ 3 punctures) was lower in Group 2 than in Group 1(84.2% versus 64.5%, P < 0.001 and 4.5% versus 19.4%, P < 0.001). The success rate was similar between right and left cannulations (P = 0.404), and according to physician experience (P = 1.000). Procedure time was fast in both groups with a median time for all procedures of 40 [30-90] seconds. Among the procedures recorded, only five arterial punctures and no cases of pneumothorax were observed. Conclusion US-guided Sup-SCV catheterisation appears to be fast and safe in children and neonates, even if it remains a little more difficult to achieve in lower-weight patients

Fleabag Season 3: Star Cast, Plot Details, Release Date and Trailer
After the popularity of the first two seasons of 'Fleabag,' fans are wondering if there will be a third season. Everything we know so far has been compiled by HollywoodLife.
When the first season of Fleabag aired in 2016, it was a huge smash. The series was converted as a one-woman stage play by Phoebe Waller-Bridge during the 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Fleabag first aired on BBC Two in August 2016 and then on Amazon Prime Video in September of the same year. In 2019, the series was renewed for a second season and became a cultural sensation.
About the series Fleabag Season 3
The Fleabag series is a dark comedy and drama that follows the life of Fleabag, played by Waller-Bridge. It's not always easy to watch as she navigates her way through complicated relationships with family members and friends while also coping with mental health issues.
During season one, Flea lost her job at Wevorce but found love in Florence (played by Sian Clifford). At the end of Season One, Flea made contact with Benji, who was on holiday so he could be there for his daughter Alice when she dies from cancer. During the second season, we saw Flea rekindle an old relationship with Greg until they break up halfway through and then meet someone else too! Her Mum returns home after being on the run for several years, and Flea is forced to face up to her past.
Here I am, ready for #comiccon21FL! Come and join my panel (and nope, I won't announce Fleabag season 3 x)#bellevuetheatreFl @bellevuehallFL pic.twitter.com/2Msglu1Fnx

Star Cast
- Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Fleabag (although never named in the script)
- Sian Clifford as Claire, Fleabag's sister
- Andrew Scott as the priest,
- Olivia Colman as Fleabag and Claire's godmother,
- Bill Paterson as the father of Fleabag and Claire
- Brett Gelman as Martin, Claire's husband
- Hugh Skinner as Harry, Fleabag's ex-boyfriend
- Hugh Dennis, as Bank Manager
- Ben Aldridge as Arsehole Guy, one of Fleabag's love interests
- Jenny Rainsford as Boo, Fleabag's deceased best friend and business partner
- Angus Imrie as Jake, Martin's teenage son and Claire's step-son
- Jamie Demetriou as Bus Rodent, one of Fleabag's love interests (series 1)
- Fiona Shaw as Fleabag's counselor
In season one, we see how complicated relationships with family members and friends while coping with mental health issues can be for an individual. During season two, Fleabag begins to question her life and how she spends it, so in an effort to better understand the world, Fleabag goes on a spiritual pilgrimage.
In season three, we see Fleabag trying to find peace of mind while coping with mental health issues and other personal struggles that need answering. Fleabag becomes diverted from herself as she finds herself being pulled back into old habits by people who are no good for her or anyone else.
Release Date:
Fleabag's first season began on BBC in July 2016, with a total of six episodes showing from July to August of that year. Amazon Prime Video immediately took up the series, which aired in September 2016 in the United States.
Fleabag season 2 premiered in March 2019 and was followed by a six-episode second season on BBC in April. In May of 2019, it was published in the United States via Amazon Prime.
Fleabag has not yet been renewed for a third season, and it seems unlikely to be. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the show's creator, has stated in many interviews that she wants the series to conclude on a positive note.

Whole Self Psychotherapy
People look for support for many reasons. Feelings of limitation and disquiet like the following are part and parcel of being human…
Yearning to be a part of a community, yet feeling alone
Frustrated that past experiences interfere with the present moment.
Moving through a life transition and wanting support and guidance.
Wondering about life purpose
Wanting stronger and more loving intimate relationships
Holding back instead of speaking freely .
Being emotionally exhausted by day-to-day life.
Restraining beliefs and patterns can arise from difficult or painful life experiences. We carry these experiences and/or memories in our minds—and in our bodies.
Healing happens when we embrace ourselves fully. Mind, body, and spirit become integrated, freeing up the energy that we've used to maintain negative ideas and patterns. We increase the amount of passion and spirit we have for what we love and are able to live joyfully.
Our lives are then characterized by…
Ease and energy
Stronger relationships with others
Being fully present in the moment with ourselves and with others
A sense of purpose
Giving voice to our authentic selves
The ability to identify and let go of unimportant things
The pleasure of dreaming again.
Psychotherapy doesn't have to take a long time. When we commit fully to thriving and engage our whole selves—mind/body/spirit, healing moves more quickly. Using a multidisciplinary approach to healing, such as what is available at Numinosity, you choose the modalities that call to you—at the right time for you.

Ariana Grande is listing her divorce requests.
The singer, who filed for divorce from estranged husband Dalton Gomez on Sept. 18, is asking a Los Angeles court to honor their prenuptial agreement, according to the court documents obtained by E! News.
In the filing, Ariana asked for spousal support and property be granted in accordance with her prenup. Moreover, the 30-year-old said she wants "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects," as well as earnings and accumulations earned before, during and after her marriage to be confirmed as separate property.
She also requested that attorney's fees be paid for by both her and Dalton.
Ariana listed her date of separation as Feb. 20, citing irreconcilable differences as grounds for the divorce.
Dalton issued a response the same day Ariana filed for divorce, in which he also listed Feb. 20 as their date of separation. The real estate agent did not request spousal support in his response, instead asking for the court to reserve the issue for future determination.
The filings come after E! News confirmed on July 17 that Ariana and Dalton—who sparked romance rumors in 2020 and wed in 2021—had broken up and were headed toward divorce. On Sept. 18, a source explained to E! News why the couple waited months to officially file the legal paperwork.
"They were taking their time together to slowly work through the details of the agreement privately before filing," the source shared. "They've been really caring and respectful of one another every step of this process. It's been a very kind and patient uncoupling process."
The source added, "They have both moved on."
Indeed, Ariana has entered a new life chapter, which includes a budding romance with Wicked costar Ethan Slater. In April, she reflected on how starring in project had profoundly impacted her life.
"Savoring every millisecond left with my Galinda (although she'll be with me irrevocably, forever)," Ariana wrote. "To be here in Oz where everyday is a life changing one... to be feeling, learning and growing so much at such a disarming speed... to feel so much love around me."

Siddipet, June 15 (Hydnow): Health Minister T Harish Rao appealed to the agitating oustees of Gouravelli reservoir not to fall prey to the opposition parties and said that the State government was ready to address all their concerns.
Speaking to the media here on Wednesday, Harish Rao said that the oustees of the proposed Gouravelli reservoir have been offered the best compensation and Rs.15 lakh has been given to each acre which is the highest compensation under any project in the State. A total of Rs.3,816 acres of the land, almost it is 97.82 percent, has been acquired for the proposed project and the State government has already paid Rs.200 crores as compensation to the oustees. Only 2.1 percent of the land is remained that need to be acquired. We hope it will sorted out very soon, the Minister said.
Harish Rao alleged that both BJP and Congress were provoking the innocent people and misguiding them against the TRS government.
" Both BJP and Congress leaders don't like construction of irrigation projects and development of Telangana State. With the construction of Kaleshwaram project and the revival of village tanks under the Mission Kakatiya, water facility is provided to the nook and corner of the State. But, opposition parties are unable to digest the growing popularity of the TRS government and are trying to create hurdles by provoking the innocent people," he criticised. (Hydnow)
