Dragons: Defenders of Berk Part 1
(Chris Rebholz) 4/4/2014 11:04 AM EDT
If you're a fan of DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train Your Dragon", they you need to check out this follow-up animated TV series "Dragons" if you haven't already. The first season of this show was subtitled "Riders of Berk" and included 20 episodes. The second season which just finished airing this month was subtitle... Read More
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
(John Delia) 4/3/2014 3:03 PM EDT
Next to the Iron Man series, Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes in a close second. The very compelling storyline, creative action, excellent direction and above all good acting combine to put this super hero in the forefront. Not so sci-fi fantasy, the Captain works to protect and serve. He's an Ethan Hunt with more cour... Read More
47 Ronin
(Chris Rebholz) 4/2/2014 2:09 PM EDT
"47 Ronin" has received its fair share of press due to its runaway costs and missed released dates. Branded a troubled production, it's with some relief to report that the feature is not a mess, just misguided in a manner familiar to moviegoers who've previously been subjected to the runaway ambition of a first-time director with access t...

The Jungle Book 2
(Chris Rebholz) 4/1/2014 12:35 PM EDT
Disney's relatively brief obsession with cash-in sequels churned out far more misses than hits, with Jungle Book 2 being one of the only direct-to-video-quality misfires in the bunch to make its debut in theaters... to the tune of $135 million no less. Regardless, it remains one of the studio's most unnecessary sequels and one of its most d... Read More
The Grand Budapest Hotel
(John Delia) 3/31/2014 11:48 AM EDT
Quirky and comical Wes Anderson's newest release The Grand Budapest Hotel follows the same pattern as several of his past work, but this one outdoes them all. The sets, special computer graphics, costumes and other production values take you to a whimsical world of mystery and murder as only Anderson can depict. If you are a fan of Wes ... Read More
Out of the Furnace
(Chris Rebholz) 3/26/2014 2:59 PM EDT
There's a certain melancholy to a lot of country music that seemed to make Scott Cooper's Crazy Heart redolent with a kind of ragged sensibility that was perhaps best summed up by the title of its Academy Award winning song, "The Weary Kind". There's a different kind of sadness running rampant in Cooper's latest, the dour ... Read More
The Book Thief
(Chris Rebholz) 3/24/2014 12:26 PM EDT
Young Adult Fiction has provided fodder for several huge film hits over the past several years, including such iconic franchises as the Harry Potter movies and the still current Hunger Games outings, which has just seen the Blu-ray release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The Book Thief might seem like a somewhat odd addition to this growing sub... Read More
(John Delia) 3/20/2014 12:22 PM EDT
Looking to take over where other young adult films have made big splashes, Divergent takes center stage at the box-office this weekend. Taking aim at this very lucrative market the film features actors that are engaging, a story that's hip enough to garner their interest and a top notch production that envisions the tale very close to the pop...

Need For Speed
(John Delia) 3/14/2014 1:49 PM EDT
Hot cars, hot women and hotheads cut loose in Need for Speed an action packed film that will make your head spin. It's a little of Smokey and the Bandit, a measure of Fast and Furious and a lot of Cannonball Run, and that's a good thing. Much like those films, Need for Speed hooks its audience from the very beginning with exciting str... Read More

Rossi: Yamaha "better late than never" with Euro test team
Valentino Rossi says it is "better late than never" for Yamaha to create a European test team, after the Japanese manufacturer confirmed it will do so in 2019.
Yamaha team manager Massimo Meregalli said at Brno on Friday that the Iwata marque is pushing ahead with plans to establish a test presence in Europe next year, following the lead of fellow Japanese manufacturers Honda and Suzuki.
Up to now, Yamaha's official test rider has been All-Japan Superbike ace Katsuyuki Nakasuga, with the bulk of development work for the R1 carried out primarily at Japanese tracks.
This will change next season, with ousted KTM rider Bradley Smith and former Tech 3 Yamaha rider Jonas Folger among the candidates to become Yamaha's new third rider in 2019.
"I pushed a lot for the [test] team, I think it's a great idea," said Rossi. "To work with the team in Japan is difficult, because the tracks in Japan are very different compared to Europe.
"We are the last to do it, so we could have done it before, but better late than never.
"Ducati was the most aggressive of all, also because of the budget that it dedicated to that test team and the resources it put into it. Then the others followed."
Asked who he would like to see become Yamaha's test rider, Rossi replied: "We have some different names on the list: Smith is one, Folger is another one, who already know the bike.
"It's important to have a rider who is not too old and can go quite fast."
Rossi's teammate Maverick Vinales expressed enthusiasm at the idea that Folger could become Yamaha's test rider.
"Jonas would be good," said Vinales. "He's fast, he already rode the bike so he knows the bike is working, so for sure it would be good to have Jonas in the test team.
"Anyway, for sure, the development will be better because you are riding in the European tracks, so I'm not unhappy for that."
Honda established a European test team at the start of this year, with former Moto2 champion and MotoGP racer Stefan Bradl appointed test rider.
The German, who is making his second race appearance of 2018 in Brno this weekend and his first as a wildcard, explained that the job of a test rider is becoming more vital.
"The regulations are becoming tighter and tighter and the number of days of testing is also decreasing," said Bradl. "Now the pre-season tests are also being shortened.
"The job as a test rider has become more important; [Michele] Pirro has shown it with Ducati and [Mika] Kallio with KTM. They had it a little easier as European manufacturers.
"You can see how professionally Honda has positioned this test team. Yamaha will also follow, because it is important that the work moves forward.
"To achieve this, it's better to test on European tracks than just trying things out in Japan."

Glickman in the Economist – Agriculture
The Economist cited Senior Fellow Dan Glickman and former Secretary of Agriculture on the efforts of the United States to accrue and sustain a food supply for its citizens, and as prices rise, it becomes a higher agenda items for the government. "I'd like to say agriculture is at the top of the agenda, but I don't believe it. What's needed is sustained leadership from governments, NGOs and the private sector," said Glickman….

Bad News: Santa Claus is coming to town
Posted by John Samson on December 26, 2008 11:44 PM
"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10). (Council of Orange: Canon 6)
We are a community of confessing believers who love the gospel of Jesus Christ, affirm the Biblical and Christ-exalting truths of the Reformation such as the five solas, the doctrines of grace, monergistic regeneration, and the redemptive historical approach to interpreting the Scriptures.

When BBC America announced back in January that the fifth installment of Luther had begun filming, it wasn't just the fans who were excited to learn Idris Elba will return as the tortured detective. The beloved actor himself revealed, "It's good to be back in London, back in the coat."
Earlier this year, Elba gave us a quickie behind-the-scenes tour of the "fancy caravan" he hangs out in between takes, but until now we've yet to see him in action.
Just yesterday (June 18) the BBC dropped a clip of Detective Chief Inspector John Luther making his way through a dark hallway. He doesn't utter a word because he's completely out of breath. All we have to go on is an ominous tagline: "This. Will. Hurt."
Hmm. Can we interpret this as a warning to those on the wrong side of the law?
In an earlier statement, creator Neil Cross, hinted at what we can expect in the next season, saying, "We missed John Luther. We missed some old friends. And we wanted to make the biggest, scariest, darkest, most thrilling series of Luther there's ever been. So that's what we've come back to do."
Here is the official description for season five, with some concrete details:
When the moonless shadows of London give birth to a new nightmare, DCI John Luther must once again confront the depths of human depravity.
As a series of monstrous killings becomes ever more audacious, Luther and new recruit D.S. Catherine Halliday are confounded by a tangle of leads and misdirection that seems designed to protect an unspeakable horror.
"But, even as the case brings him closer than ever to the nature of true evil, a reluctant Luther must also face the ghosts of his own past. Striding back into the line of fire, he must choose who to protect… and who to sacrifice.
Whatever his next move, it will have devastating consequences for those around him — and change John Luther forever.
Yep, sounds like a whole lot of pain.
A premiere date is yet to be announced but we can look forward to four new episodes of Luther.
Does the new clip live up to Neil Cross' promise to create the "biggest, scariest, darkest" season of Luther yet?Read More

Beloved spouses kiss each other perpetually.
Arrows fire fiercely blessed glances.

Dear people,
I'm a long time user of both Openoffice and Libreoffice.
I'm trying to create a rough demo, and really simple DEMO that I can show to others.
My greatest wish would be to include a swipe function.
So for example. When someone swipes on an area to left, it goes to cell X. But when someone swipes right on that cell, it jumps to cell Y.
If I could make Text appear from cell Y in to cell X, that would also be a great part of the solution.
I would actually like to knowhow to do this in Calc, but in Draw would be very nice too!
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks in advance

Should You Start a Healthcare Career After 40?
Life is too short to be stuck at a job that you don't enjoy. You might not be happy with your responsibilities, the hours you are working, or maybe your salary isn't high enough. Whatever the reason, a career change is not as difficult as it may seem. The US job market is incredibly dynamic, providing many options for anyone seeking new employment opportunities.
Your main concerns are probably how difficult, costly, and time-consuming it might be to change your profession. An allied healthcare career, however, may be one of the easiest and most rewarding options out there!
What Is Allied Healthcare?
You may not be familiar with allied healthcare, but you've definitely encountered people working in this field. Allied healthcare professionals are not doctors or nurses, but work as their support staff in the form of dental hygienists, MRI technologists, phlebotomists and more. These professionals may work directly with patients or be involved in behind-the-scenes work at pharmacies, clinics, or hospitals.
There are a wide variety of allied healthcare professions that are perfect matches for almost everyone. Based on what suits your interests, goals, and personal preferences, you can choose a healthcare occupation without a medical background or training.
What are the Benefits of a Career in Allied Healthcare?
Employment changes are usually difficult, especially if the chosen occupation requires a 4-year college degree. Allied healthcare careers offer great opportunities for those interested in healthcare but don't have the time or resources to study medicine. Evening and weekend courses are typically offered, allowing you to fit training courses into your busy schedule.
Not only can you kickstart an allied healthcare career quickly, but because the cost of training is significantly less than a traditional college education, it's a much more affordable option. Some allied healthcare programs, such as a phlebotomy technician program, can be completed in as little as 1-3 months, allowing you to begin your new profession quickly and at low cost.
Once you have received your certification, you'll have the opportunity to work in a diverse environment like a laboratory, hospital, or even a home environment. You also may have the opportunity to relocate, as most US states follow similar standards for allied healthcare certifications. What's more, these careers often comes with high job security, competitive pay, and benefits such as health insurance, vacation time, and retirement plans, all while making a difference in the lives of others.
Allied Healthcare Career Growth and Job Demand
The estimated growth rate of allied healthcare jobs is significantly higher than the rest of the US job market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, allied healthcare jobs are projected to increase by 19% from 2014 to 2024, adding approximately 2.3 million new employment opportunities.
Certain allied health sectors are expected to grow incredibly fast. For example, the BLS anticipates a growth rate of 30% for surgical technologist jobs until 2022! Some of the most in-demand allied healthcare careers are MRI technologists, cardiac monitor technicians, and medical assistants, which are expected to grow from 24% to 30% within the next decade!
Allied Healthcare Training Programs
Depending on the type of allied health profession you plan on pursuing, training time can vary greatly. A pharmacy or cardiac monitor technician, for instance, may complete their training in approximately 3 months, whereas a diagnostic medical sonographer can expect to spend upwards of 2 to 3 years pursuing their education.
You have the possibility to obtain an allied health degree in the form of an associate, bachelor's, or even master's degree, though a certificate program is often times the quickest and most affordable educational path. Training programs are generally quick, affordable, and can often be tailored to your schedule. They usually consist of a combination of classroom instruction, lab work, and a clinical internship.
During your internship, you will be placed at a clinical site which provides practical training in a real work environment. There, you'll be placed with a mentor responsible for assisting you on your journey. The importance of this internship cannot be understated, and often results in strong professional references or even a job offer!
At the completion of your training, you should be prepared for a certification exam, which increases the likelihood of gainful employment.
Allied Healthcare Program Requirements
In order to pursue a healthcare occupation, applicants are generally required to hold a minimum of a high school diploma (or its equivalent).
Each program may have different enrollment requirements. Phlebotomy, for instance, may only require a high school diploma, whereas diagnostic medical sonography typically requires specific college-level coursework.
Allied Healthcare Salaries
The salary range between allied healthcare jobs greatly differs. For instance, the average salary for American dental hygienists is $71,970, whereas the average salary for a pharmacy technician is $31,090. Here you can find more information on some of the top-paying allied healthcare jobs in the US.
Salaries also greatly depend on the pursued allied healthcare program, personal qualifications and references, and the state or city in which you are working.
Still Not Sure? Here Are a Few Great Career Picks!
Pharmacy Technician
A great pharmacy technician program will prepare you for a number of different areas including proper drug administration, pharmaceutical terminology, drug classification, and pharmacy management. As a pharmacy technician, you will work closely with licensed pharmacists while assisting customers and preparing prescriptions for dispersal.
If you enjoy assisting and communicating with many different people throughout your day, as well as hands-on work, a pharmacy tech career might be right for you!
Pharmacy Technician Training Programs
Phlebotomy training programs typically lasts 3 to 4 months. You may be required to complete a clinical internship and – depending on the state in which you are planning to obtain your certification – you may also be required to pass certain examinations.
Pharmacy Technician Job Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the current average salary of a pharmacy technician is $30,920. In addition, the expected growth rate of pharmacy technicians is 9% until 2024, which is slightly higher than the national average.
Many pharmacy techs start at chain pharmacies like Target, Duane Reade, and Walgreens, but with the right attitude and training, can move up to government and general hospitals. Some techs learn that they love their chosen path and go back to school for a pharmacy degree. Regardless of where you choose to go, this is a great sector to start a new career!
Diagnostic Medical Sonography
As a diagnostic medical sonographer, you'll use ultrasound equipment to create images of internal body structures which doctors then use to make diagnoses. During most training programs, you'll learn the principles for DMS scanning technology and receive firsthand experience in a hospital environment.
Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Training Programs
Training programs typically last 2 to 3 years, and require the completion of an on-site clinical internship. Depending on the state in which you are planning to obtain your certification, you may also be required to obtain a state license.
To apply for a DMS training program, you are usually required to have completed college-level coursework that includes English, math, physics, and human anatomy & physiology.
Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Job Outlook
The average salary for a diagnostic medical sonographer is around $64,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Sonographers can earn credentials in multiple specialties including obstetrics and gynecology, vascular technology, and even pediatric sonography. This training helps to advance diagnostic medical sonographers' careers and can dramatically increase their income. With the projected job growth at a staggering 24% through 2024, opportunities have never been better.
Medical Assistant
Medical assistants are highly involved in the day-to-day processes of doctors and registered nurses and have one of the most varied careers in the allied healthcare sector. These professionals can choose more administrative-based tasks like reception work and medical billing while clinical medical assistants may be expected to take vital signs, draw blood, change dressings, and anything else that a doctor or nurse practitioner may ask of them.
There are many advantages to becoming a medical assistant. You will have the opportunity to work independently, with your team, and with patients to improve their medical care. There isn't a 'typical' day for a medical assistant, so you will definitely never be bored.
Medical Assistant Training Programs
During medical assistant training programs, students learn a variety of subjects such as medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, phlebotomy, and medical insurance. They also learn laboratory techniques, pharmacology, as well as clinical and diagnostic procedures.
Training programs often last close to a year and typically include a clinical internship. After graduation, it's important to sit for one of the certification exams. Most employers only hire medical assistants who are certified.
Medical Assistant Job Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary of a medical assistant is $31,540. The profession is expected to have a growth rate of 23% until 2024, which is significantly higher than the national average.
MAs are exposed to a variety of medical tasks and experiences, and often discover what they're most passionate about on the job. Many medical assistants later go back to school for nursing, sonography, or a variety of other healthcare careers.
Other Allied Health Care Options
The jobs listed above are only a few examples of allied healthcare opportunities. In fact, there are many other professions, including surgical technologists, audiologists, neurodiagnostic technologists, MRI technologists, dental hygienists, and more!
Your dream may be to assist in the operating room, help your local hospital run more efficiently, or aid those combating illnesses. Whatever it may be, despite not having a background in healthcare, there are an abundance of options for you.

Student musicians perform at Relay for Life
April 20, 2018
Six student musicians performed at Relay for Life last Friday. Sophomores Claire Lawrence and Dakota Roth preformed solo sets while freshman Noah Levine, Luke Kemmerer, sophomore Mick Smith and junior Ben Brod performed as a band.
"Before [the performance] I was more nervous than I was excited," Lawrence said. "Once I got on stage and saw all of my friends standing in front of me, cheering me on, the nerves died away. It was the best feeling in the world."
This was Lawrence's first live performance. While she said she would play more school gigs, she hopes to play other, non school-related shows downtown.
"I've always felt like I've had this big connection with music since I was little," Lawrence said. "Music means a lot to me. It means a lot to be able to not only share your message, but also your talent with others. I hope in the future to play other gigs in Austin, not just school gigs, and get more material out there."
Relay for Life was also Roth's first live gig as well, though she said she doesn't foresee herself doing anymore gigs soon. She is currently working on her album that will be released some time in the next two years.
"Music is a way for me to express myself in a way I don't think I can any other way," Roth said. "For some people it's painting, but for me it is writing down my thoughts and putting them in this strange way that speaks to me and may speak to someone else."
The band, still unnamed, formed specifically to play at Relay for Life, but they are planning on staying together. The four-man band started to play at 8 p.m..
"I like playing with all the musicians in the band. All of them are really talented," Smith said. "They're really, really good at their instruments, so it's always fun."
Like the solo artists, this was the band's first live gig. Kemmerer said that he was surprised at the turnout because he has heard people saying that the performances would just be background music but people were actually in the crowd, listening. There has been some discussion within the band of trying to get more gigs.
"We were pretty nervous before we performed because we didn't know a lot of people would be there," Levine said. "Music has always had a certain way to speak to me other than just words, and I feel like I could convey that to the people at Relay for Life. That is why I wanted to perform."
Claire Lawrence's Setlist:
"The Show" by Lenka
"Ghost" by Halsey
"Mean" by Taylor Swift
"Girl Crush" by Little Big Town
"The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry
"Josy Lane" (original song)

Year Of The Villain is DC Comics' big branding event exercise for 2019. With The Batman Who Laughs at the Batman books heading it up, with Leviathan over at the Superman books and Perpetua and the League Of Doom over at the Justice League titles. But it will extend much further than that.
How do we know? Because it's all a number of people at Emerald City Comic Con this past week were talking about in certain bars and at certain parties.
Some versions differ. But what everyone can agree on is that Lex Luthor is going to make an offer to all the super-villains of the DC Universe. The offer will take the form of an upgrade of their power base, or anything they might need in order to increase their villainy.
So the Penguin may get muscles. The Joker may get a dimension-twisting joke flower. I'm just making these examples up, I have no idea. But you get the drift.
And this will spin out across the DC Universe as a lot of threats, major and minor, suddenly power up.
This is, at least, one part of what will make DC's Year Of The Villain a universe-wide event. And all part of the 'connective tissue', a renewed attention to DC continuity stories that 'matter' that DC Publisher Dan DiDio talked about at ComicsPRO.
It all starts on May 1st. And you read it first on Bleeding Cool.
(W) Brian Michael Bendis, Scott Snyder, James TynionIV (A) Jim Cheung, Alex Maleev, Francis Manapul (CA) Greg Capullo
Evil is winning! Lex Luthor and The Legion of Doom conspire with Cosmic Gods, bending mankind toward a dark destiny. Elsewhere, the scourge of Leviathan spreads unchecked, seizing power in every corner of the world. And all the while the Batman Who Laughs busies himself in the shadows, aligned with no one-yet with sinister plans for all.
The carnage starts here as the badguys take center stage in "The Year of the Villain," the most treacherous event in DC Comics history. Some act with united goals, others with plans selfish and secret, every one of them on a monstrous collision course against Batman, Superman and the heroes of the DC Universe. And our heroes will fail us.
Don't miss the start of "The Year of the Villain," featuring the talents of writers Brian Michael Bendis, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, artists Jim Cheung, Alex Maleev and Francis Manapul and cover artist Greg Capullo-all for just $0.25! In Shops: May 01, 2019 SRP: $0.25

All About Vertigo and How to Cope
Vertigo is an experience where the person feels the false sensation of motion. It is similar to the experience you have after spinning in circles and suddenly stopping, and the world around you feels as though it is spinning. Forty percent of people age 40 and above will experience vertigo symptoms at least once during their lifetime. Many people describe vertigo using the word dizziness, but the two are very different. Vertigo often brings on nausea and vomiting because of the false sensation of movement, but dizziness is related to a momentary loss of balance or lightheadedness. Because of the difficulties vertigo brings, it's important to find Farmington, MI vertigo relief as soon as possible.
What Could Cause Vertigo or Dizziness Symptoms?
- Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): This is considered to be one of the most surprising causes of vertigo, according to Gregory Whitman, MD, from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Balance and Vestibular Center. The inner ear has calcium and protein-based sensing crystals called otoconia. When these crystals get dislodged from their natural location and travel into the inner ear canals, it can cause vertigo. This affects a small number of people, about 1 out of every 1,000 each year, and primarily older adults. This condition is associated with migraines, head trauma, inner ear infections, osteoporosis, and diabetes. Even after correcting this problem of the inner ear, 50% of people have the same problem again within 5 years, particularly if it originated from trauma.
- The ear's balance system controls the flow of blood: The inner ear balance system assists in blood flow control and senses when the body is in an upright position. This is how transitioning from lying down to standing up allows the two structures of the inner ear – the utricle and saccule – to detect gravity. From the inner ear, the cardiovascular system receives signals that help it direct blood flow, thus adapting to the new body position. When this malfunctions, it can cause vertigo.
- Low vitamin B12 levels: A deficiency in this vitamin could cause neurological issues such as feeling off-balance, low blood pressure, and decreased blood flow to the brain. While these symptoms are obvious and easily corrected, vitamin deficiency is usually an overlooked cause of dizziness. Eating plenty of dairy, fortified cereals, and meat will help with keeping B12 levels at a healthy level.
To learn more about the connection between head and neck injuries and vertigo, download our complimentary e-book by clicking the image below.
- Heart disease: This could be caused by leaking or narrowing heart valves, atherosclerosis, and arrhythmias (for example, atrial fibrillation). Each of these limits blood flow to the brain, resulting in dizziness.
- Migraines: Vertigo can accompany a migraine, whether or not a headache occurs. Other vertigo symptoms related to migraines are sensitivity to light, sound, and motion. Nearly 40% of migraine sufferers also experience dizziness or vertigo.
- Medication side effects: Many prescription drugs list dizziness as a side effect. One of the most common ones is blood pressure medication, particularly among older adults or people who may have been prescribed too high of a dose. This is why requesting to start out on the lowest dose possible is a good idea when speaking to your primary care practitioner. Be aware if any medication you are taking has dizziness or vertigo as a side effect, or if any of your medications should not be taken together.
- Dehydration or diet: Healthy hydration levels are key for proper blood pressure. The mildest amount of dehydration can cause lightheadedness or dizziness due to a drop in blood pressure. Be aware that many people's eating habbits can contribute to dehydration.
- Meniere's disease: This is a common reason for vertigo onset. If you are also having hearing problems in one ear, tinnitus, or a full feeling in the ear, you may have Meniere's disease. This is a rare condition only affecting 0.2% of the population and is mostly seen in ages 40 to 60.
- Other reasons: These could be stroke, brain tumor, labyrinthitis, or head or neck injury.
A Natural Path of Relief for Vertigo
A study observed 60 patients who had been diagnosed with vertigo. Fifty-eight of these individuals remembered some instance of head or neck trauma prior to having vertigo symptoms. Each of them had some form of upper cervical misalignment and were provided an adjustment to correct this part of their spine. All of their care was observed over a 6-month period, with a positive report coming from every one of them due to the care they received. A total of 48 experienced complete elimination of vertigo symptoms, while the other 12 reported a decrease in the severity and frequency of their vertigo episodes. The results from this study reveal compelling evidence that there is an associations between head and neck trauma with vertigo. This study also shows the positive impact upper cervical chiropractic care can have in relieving vertigo symptoms.
Why would this kind of care have such a great impact on vertigo symptoms? The reason lies within the upper two vertebrae of the spine, where the spinal cord and brainstem securely reside. If any form of impact on the head or neck shifts these two bones out of place, it places pressure on the nerves within. This then can cause confusion between the brain and body signals being sent through the brain stem, resulting in the sensations connected to vertigo. The misalignment could be anything from a minor car accident to a rough football tackle or any other circumstance that caused the neck muscles to over extend.
Here at Premier Family Wellness and Spinal Care in Farmington, Michigan, our vertigo chiropractor in Farmington uses a specialized technique that is designed to ease the bones of the neck back into alignment. In our examination, we use the latest in imaging to measure exactly were to apply our gentle adjustment method to the upper cervical spine. This encourages the bones to naturally shift back into place without the need for cracking or twisting the spine or neck. Many of our patients have similar recovery stories to those described above.

The Walmart massacre had shattered the sense of peace and security that typically surrounds this border town. Now the shock and fear was being magnified by another unexplained massacre 1,600 miles away.
Just hours earlier the police had told the family to stay inside. There'd been a shooting at the Walmart a block away. Thirteen-year-old Arlene Enriques was frightened.
Arlene had heard some of the shots, but she thought they were fireworks. She and her brother, 10-year-old Dilan, sat at their grandparents' El Paso home, afraid to go outside, waiting for their mother to arrive amid a cascade of misinformation, including bogus reports of more gunmen on the loose.
Her mother couldn't get there. The area surrounding the Walmart and Arlene's grandparents' apartment was shut down by police roadblocks.
Arlene's grandfather turned on the news. She couldn't understand what she was seeing on TV: Reports on the El Paso shooting were being interrupted by news of another deadly mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
The girl picked up the phone and made a call: "Mom, it's happening again."
Arlene's mom, Denise Aguilera, 31, safely reunited with her children later that night, but the shootings left indelible doubts in her mind. Her mother visits the Walmart every day. She worries her new reality is constantly looking over her shoulder and monitoring her six children's every move.
"We're not secure anymore, anywhere. ... It's happening here. It's happening in other states," she said. "More crazy people."
'What is wrong with the world?'
Forget El Paso. Residents are wondering, is anyone, anywhere safe? Is hate permeating the country? Will they have to keep their heads on swivels, forever vigilant?
"The nature of El Paso, we don't hear stuff like that," said El Paso native Eddie Nicolas, 55, as he sat smoking at a bus stop down the street from a growing candle-and-flower memorial beneath the Walmart sign.
"We see it on TV. We see it in other cities. We never do imagine it's going to happen to our city."
El Paso is a place where people leave their cars unlocked and lean their bikes against walls downtown, unsecured.
Aaron Tinoco, 27, moved here only three years ago, but he said "it feels like home." El Paso has a different set of values, he said. God and family come first, and hate is rarely on display.
He was driving near the Walmart when it happened. He saw a swarm of law enforcement -- local, state, federal, undercover -- fly past him, which was "highly unusual." He stopped at a McDonald's and was horrified when he checked Facebook.
At first he was angry and felt helpless. As a volunteer for the Texas Rescue Patrol, a nonprofit paramedic outfit, he wanted to help but couldn't. Then came a flood of questions. Why El Paso? Why innocents? Later, he'd ask, "Why was it toward a specific group?"
He was knocking back a few brews with buddies Saturday evening and talking about the shooting when he checked Facebook again and was stunned to see what was happening across the country in Dayton.
"Same thing, I see it again? I'm like, 'Are you serious? Is this for real? Is this actually happening? What is wrong with the world?'" he asked. "We just had this in my hometown."
Despite his dismay and confusion, he was at church the next day and everyone seemed in agreement. They can't let this change their hometown, change how they feel about and act toward each other, he said.
"Evil will not prevail," he said. "We're going to put it back down."
'Are they going to come shoot us, too?'
At a splash park in San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso, Kevin Garzon and his fianceé, Racquel Lopez, snacked on chocolate cake and sipped sodas while watching their three kids play in the fountains at the edge of the park.
As the 4-, 6- and 7-year-olds frolicked, the couple explained they live about six blocks from the Walmart. They go there all the time. They'd been planning to go there Saturday.
"I feel sad because I'm Hispanic," said Lopez, 24, who moved to El Paso from Juarez, Mexico, about 10 months ago. "It could've been me and my family."
Back home, mass killings were not extraordinary, she said. When she left for El Paso, her family was worried about her, but they were normal family concerns -- about health and kids, "not like worry about my safety because they know it's going to be OK."
That changed Saturday when she began receiving the kind of calls she's used to making. Her family wanted to know if she and the kids were all right. Her kids had asked her the same question.
The next day, after news emerged that the Walmart shooter had targeted Latinos, it left her children concerned. Hearing police sirens in the distance as they played in a downtown park near San Jacinto Plaza, one of her sons asked, "Are they going to come shoot us, too?"
When Garzon saw news of the Dayton shooting late Saturday, he said, it reinforced something he already knew was becoming a sad reality.
"We basically have got to be more aware of our surroundings," Garzon said. "Anything can happen."

Lady Wreckers beat Warde 4-3
Recommended Video:
The Staples girls tennis team pulled it together on Monday in a 4-3 home victory over Fairfield Warde. Staples raised its record to 6-0 as it won two close matches. Warde dropped to 2-2.
"It was a little too close for comfort but it's a credit to Warde because they played well," Lady Wreckers Coach Casey DeVita said. "It's a reminder of how tough are league and Warde reminded us that we can't take any team for granted."
Sophomore Katie Reiner played smart tennis at first singles for Staples and slammed home many winners in a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Christine Schneider.
"I tried to focus on my strengths and what I could do to win the point," Reiner said. "I was patient and because of my strategy, it worked."
After playing at first doubles last year, Reiner has been steady at first singles and is 6-0 to start the season.
"I am happy to be where I am," Reiner said.
The Lady Wreckers also scored an easy victory at second doubles where sophomore Nicole Marcante and junior Alex Walsh dominated Lady Mustang seniors Emily Weiner and Maggie Giambalvo, 6-0, 6-3.
Warde controlled play at second and third singles behind juniors Haley Wolf and Marysa Walsh. Wolf turned back sophomore Leigh Rubin at second singles, 6-1, 6-1 and Walsh had a command performance in a 6-2, 6-1 victory over junior captain Farrel Levenson at third singles.
Although the match at first doubles was a two-setter, it was very close and could have gone either way. In the end, Staples senior captain Molly Laux and junior Hannah Bjornson defeated Lady Mustang senior captain Tara Babushkin and classmate Haley Smola, 7-5, 6-4.
"I was very happy because first doubles pulled out the first set the way they did," DeVita said. "The match could have been dicey if they didn't pull out the first set."
The southpaw Laux was steady with a few key gets and hit many passing shots down the middle for winners. Laux and Bjornson both had reliable serves and the captain set up Bjornson's overhead forehand slams for winners.
"We had to be positive and it helped us pull through," Laux said. "We used our doubles ability and strategy to our advantage."
Bjornson said, "We have good communication and I'm glad to have Molly. We used our strategy wisely."
Fourth singles was the longest match of the day and it turned out to be the deciding one as well. Lady Wrecker junior Molly Rudinger needed 80 minutes to win the first set over sophomore Caroline Gallucci.
"I knew she was very consistent and I tried to get past her," Rudinger said. "I was able to win the last two games in the end and break her serve."
The second set was tied 1-1 before Rudinger took the next four points to go up 5-1. She hit a few winners off of long rallies and forced Gallucci into errors. Gallucci hit a winner off the eighth return of a point, which led to her taking a game to make it 5-2, but Rudginger held steady and clinched the match, 6-4, 6-2, in a two-hour, 45-minute match.
"I had the mentality of being more focused in the second set," Rudinger said. "I learned what I needed to change after the first set and I didn't want to play a third set."
At third doubles, Staples junior Kate McNee and sophomore Stevie Klein won the first three games of the first set. Lady Mustang seniors Lauren Wroblewski and Maggie Giambalvo rallied to win the next three games. Warde took a 5-4 lead before McNee and Klein came back and won the next three games to take the set.
Things changed in the second set as Giambalvo and Wroblewski won the first five games of the second set before taking it 6-1 and the first game of the third set. Staples took a 2-1 lead in the third set with Klein serving well and making a diving play in which she hit a winner off a long rally.
However, this highlight-film play wasn't enough as Giambalvo and Wroblewski picked up their play and hit some winners in taking the match, 5-7, 6-1, 6-3.
The Lady Wreckers host Norwalk on Monday and Greenwich, the top team in the state, on Tuesday.
"We're excited to beat Warde today," Laux said. "We have a tough seven days when we come back from April vacation."

refused the offer because shifting would be a trouble for him. Same lack of response was seen, when he got the news of his mother's death and also at another occasion when his girlfriend proposed him to marry her and he casually responds by saying it does not matter to him but if she wants he will marry her because it does not affect him and his life. He stays emotionless, no feelings, no remorse or grief. He paid more attention to the unnecessary things than on the task in hand. Meursault also lacks the motivation in his life to do anything, therefore he sits back at home near his room window and smokes cigarette, more than required or his desire. He remains isolated from the society, not out of intention but because he does not feel the necessity to face the challenges of everyday life, therefore he prefers to remain committed to nothingness. He does not want to take the trouble of making decisions.
Sartre in his concept of an 'authentic being' does not clearly distinguish whether the dualism of mind and body is there or is it just an integrated being as discussed in the introduction, but Sartre establishes the idea and accepts the idea of Heidegger that being-in-itself is prior to being-for-itself, as, the latter is dependent on the former, i.e., being-for-itself is dependent on being-in-itself. Thus it is clear that for Sartre, the two modes of being are very distinct. Sartre further says that being-for-itself which is consciousness is nothing but the nihilation of being-in-itself. To understand this concept it is important to understand the nature of consciousness. For Sartre, "consciousness is a being whose existence posits its essence, and inversely it is consciousness of a being whose essence implies its existence; that is in which appearance lays claim to being." (Sartre, 1943: 87)
For Sartre, man is a subjective being, who is capable of living his life without society and this stance is seen in the characterization of Roquentin in Nausea. Within this stance, Camus' characters also show the courage to live the life in isolation, where the character does not need the help of the society to survive in the world. Meursault (The Stranger), like Roquentin (Nausea), is a character that can live in isolation unlike other people, who try to find meaning or purpose of their lives by depending upon others. Though Meursault, like Roquentin had a girlfriend and relied on her, but for a short period of time. Meursault is emotionally indifferent character from others. He keeps himself isolated and alienated from the society and believes to do things according to his own will in his own particular way, instead of confining to the rules and ways of the society. This nature of Meursault puts himself in difficult situations at different times, which embarrasses him for a moment but subsequently takes the responsibility of his actions and choices for the unique progression.
Roquentin represents Sartre's idea of men's happiness and unhappiness, or the ethical problems, intellectual confusion, search for meaning and purpose in life . Even the title of the novel, Nausea, depicts a lot about his intention in the novel, as he defines the meaning of nausea or the condition of being in nausea through his philosophical work Being and Nothingness. Here he describes that nausea helps a 'being-for-itself' or consciousness to discover the contingency. As Sartre states, "A dull and inescapable nausea perpetually reveals my body to my consciousness." (Sartre, 1943: 338)
Roquentin (Nausea) realises that he in particular and being in general are unwanted, i.e., the existence of a being in general is unjustifiable and superfluous. He knows and is conscious of his existence and of the fact that he is an existent being, but the purpose of existing and meaning in life is not defined, or is superfluous, i.e., he cannot help but remain struggling with the idea that he cannot overcome the superfluity and contingence of existence. Roquentin (Nausea), explains his views regarding the existence of being-in-itself by stating that, "We were a heap of living creatures, irritated, embarrassed at ourselves we hadn't the slightest reason to be there… Even my death would have been de trap. De trap, my corpse, my blood on these stones, between these plants at the back …" (Sartre, 2000:184)
Camus also believes like Sartre, that the individual is not a stone, i.e., 'being-in-itself', which is not conscious of itself but has its essence or the characteristics, which are unchangeable. To the contrary, individual is 'being-for-itself', an ongoing procedure, who is conscious of itself but does not have a defined essence. It is a continuous process because he keeps on discovering something about himself, which helps him develop his essence and define himself. Within this process the individual also makes use of freedom to make choices and decisions and later take the responsibility of his actions. In this manner, Meursault (The Stranger), has the ability to take decisions throughout the novel, use freedom to act the way he wants rather than the way society wishes an individual to be. Though he feels embarrassed at certain points but he does not take recourse to what the society accepts. Whereas, on the other hand, Clamence, (The Fall), first takes the refuge in being-for-others, but later in the novel, he reaches to the stage of realisation and moves towards the path of recovery, where he realises his mistakes and works upon to decrease the burden of it by confessing his mistakes and becoming justice penitent.
According to Camus, when an individual is on the journey to find the truth, search for clarity in the meaning of existence, he generally reduces the understanding of the universe within the limits of his thoughts, which he can assimilate. The thoughts like, "I know this to be true," "I understand this," and "I can feel … I can touch this" (Camus, 1942: 6) becomes less clear than what he realise. In The Stranger, the basic theme is the existential philosophy- which according to Camus has the assumption that God is absent and therefore there is no divine purpose behind the human life or afterlife. Humans think that they share the existence with the lower creatures and his ability to think and reason makes them apart from that of other lower creatures because of their consciousness. According to Camus, many human beings automatically work, being blind to the absurdity of their lives or meaningless existence but there are others who understand and experience the awakening to absurdity and realises the meaninglessness of life. Camus believes that the awakening of human to the absurdity of life can lead him in two directions. Either the human leads to suicide or to recovery. But both the actions need or involve decision-making. One who is lead towards the direction of suicide, according to Camus, is because he feels that, "killing yourself amounts to confessing that … life is not worth the trouble" (5) and also recognises that, "the absence of any profound reason for living, the insane character of that daily agitation, and the uselessness of suffering"( 6), whereas, the one who realises the absurdity of life and accepts the life in that situation, leads to recovery, where he looks at death from near and understands that death is an inevitable thing and an inseparable truth of human existence and it is to be shared by all at some point of the life. This aspect ironically gives the individual a purpose to live life with love and compassion.
During this journey, Camus states that the individual has to face a lot of contradictions because of which he gets demotivated and realises that he is certain and aware of nothing and in the midst of it, he finds no truth. This is where, the man becomes strange to himself and to the familiar things around him, he gets crushed in the feeling of being sure of nothing and unable to logically give assurance for his feeling. Therefore, he recognises life as a futile cycle of knowing nothing and being strange to everything. Roquentin (Nausea) feels the same, alienated from the society and people and this alienation arises when the things and objects around him become strange and he cannot relate to them, which gives rise to the condition of 'nausea'. Roquentin states, "Then the nausea seized me, I dropped to a seat, I no longer knew where I was; I saw the colours spin slowly around me, I wanted to vomit. And since that time, the Nausea has not left me, it holds me" (Sartre, 2000: 33). Generally this happens when the third mode of being comes in existence, i.e., being-for-others. This stance is seen in Roquentin's words to Adolphe, where he states, "The nausea is not inside me: I feel it out there in the wall, in the suspenders, everywhere around me. It makes itself one with the cafe, I am the one who is within it" (Sartre, 2000: 20)
The 'look' of others objectify the subjectivity of the person and in order to hide from the suffering of that condition, the individual falls in bad faith. Sartre explains the development of the concept of 'bad faith' in Being and Nothingness. According to Sartre, 'bad faith' is where an individual lies to himself. He explains that the people who fall in 'bad faith', know that they are lying to hide their reality to temporarily avoid the sufferings because they actually fail to accept the reality, and do not have the capability to separate themselves from the problem or to accept a change. They lack the ability to negate, or to re-interpret their situation; they lack their freedom and transcendence.
Whereas, Meursault (The Stranger), does not fall in 'bad faith', when he met the girl Marie immediately after his mother's funeral and spends some time with her, because he does not wish to act according to the society or to think what is 'appropriate' to do according to the society. There are many instances where feels embarrassed but they do not change his perspective. He tackles tough situations in the most existential attitude, like swimming the following day of his mother's funeral with a girl he just met, or replying reluctantly to the marriage proposal from a girl, who states, "I said it didn't make any difference to me and that we could if she wanted to." (Camus, 1989: 76) This shows his lack of compassion because being insensitive in such a situation is embedded in the ideas of an existentialist. He agrees to marry her, not because he wants to but because she wants and it won't make any difference to him. He does not wish to change his life without any reason because he does not feel that he needs to have something more than what he already has. Therefore, he also refuses the offer from his boss to go to Paris and later regrets because he has upset him. He does not give any rational explanation for refusing the offer except that he already has everything he needs to live the basic standard life.
Sartre explains that in 'bad faith', an individual may reject the ambiguous existence of an individual who realise that they are both, 'being-in–themselves' and 'being-for-others', which will be discussed later in the chapter.. The 'being-for itself', i.e., consciousness negates in-itself and rejects the 'being-for-others'. Sartre believes that because of the 'look' of the other, an individual feels that he has lost his subjectivity because the individual starts perceiving himself from the perspective of the other and also over thinks how the other person will perceive his image. As an individual will become an object and will be observed from the point of view of the other and will lose his subjectivity and freedom, then he will have to live according to the set rules, but according to Sartre, a 'being-for-itself' has the capability to live a life in isolation, it does not need 'being-for-others' and can exist alone.
The question of the 'other' is majorly discussed in Heidegger and Sartre's Being and Time and Being and Nothingness. On the other hand, Camus believes that an individual is in the midst of the world, i.e., the 'being-in-the-world'. Like Sartre, Camus also believes that the 'other', is considered as both a necessity as well as the threat for the being. Clamence (The Fall) also falls in the trap of the other, where he lives in the shadow of the others as a hypocrite, what the society accepts as good. Clamence (The Fall), was a criminal lawyer in the beginning of the novel, where he use to take up the case of the criminals and try to free them of their charges. This made him obsessed with his self, which is not considered as his own self, created by him, through his own decisions, actions and choices, instead it is given by people, as a generous man, lady's man, noble man, etc. Like Camus' character, Sartre's protagonist and other minor characters fall in the shadow of the others. Roquentin, in the beginning, is dependent upon the historical figure, Rollebon, and his ex-girlfriend, Anny, without whom he felt he couldn't find meaning in his life. Rollebon is the figure over whom he was writing a thesis and wanted at some point to be like him. Anny was also living in 'bad faith', which she termed as the perfect moment. The moment she kept on urging till the end of the novel.
Meursault(The Stranger), on the other hand totally ignores the look of the others and thus becomes a stranger or an outsider for the society. Reaching towards the ending, even Meursault for a short while but first time in the novel gets affected by the other during the trial, where he states, "It was then that I noticed a row of faces in front of me. They were all looking at me" (Camus, 1989: 83); and "for the first time in years I had this stupid urge to cry, because I could feel how much all these people hated me . . . and for the first time I realised that I was guilty" (Camus, 1989: 90).
Sartre in Nausea also gives an example of Lucie, a charwoman, who symbolises 'being-in-itself' and portrays the sufferings of individuals, who attempts to find meaning and purpose in life by merging with others in the crowd. Her husband has become the major reason for her suffering and because of him she stays in an anguish state. In an encounter, with Lucie, where she was pleading to a man not to leave her in such a state but he walks away, Roquentin recognises her, "it is Lucie, the charwoman." but, he says, "I dare not offer her my support, but she must be able to call for it if need be: I pass before her slowly, looking at her. Her eyes stare at me but she seems not to see me; she looks as though she were lost in her suffering." (Sartre, 2000: 44). The protagonist Roquentin shows the 'being-for-itself', which represents the nothingness of the pure consciousness, other people in cafe represents 'being-for-others', whereas, Lucie represents the inauthentic struggle of being in the middle of both the realities. Though the common grounds of suffering remain the same, but the nothingness of Roquentin goes in negative direction whereas, the sufferings of Lucie take her in the positive direction. Roquentin represents Sartre's concept of 'look', whereas, Lucie and Charles represent Sartre's 'sadism-masochism opposition'. Lucie is largely represented as a masochistic and Charles as sadistic. Roquentin through his look, objectifies Lucie, turning her into an object, she stares at him back, but her look is not able to counter Roquentin's look by her own 'look', which makes her a mere object. On the other hand, she becomes largely masochistic, when she calls after Charles, as "Charles, I beg you, you know what I told you? Charles, come back, I've had enough, I'm too miserable!" (44), and Charles becomes largely sadistic. Here Lucie is represented as the fusion of 'being-in-itself', by being objectified by the look of Roquentin and a sadism-masochism relation with Charles and thus doubly entrapped in the sufferings and despair. On the other hand, Roquentin who was trying to understand and accept the reality of his life does not help Lucie, when he could because he wanted to give Lucie the freedom to make a choice by herself, whether she wants to get the help or wants to bear the suffering so that she does not completely become the object.
Through the above discussion it is clear that it is not an individual's condition that makes him realise the hell, but the look of the 'others'. The ideas of Sartre and Camus can be related to each other to some extent, but Camus refuses it by saying that all that links him to the Sartrean group is just a mere coincidence and the result of being in same country at same time in same condition and nothing more. He claims it in an interview in local newspaper, named Diario. Camus in his irritation states that, "It is a serious error to treat…a philosophical research as serious as existentialism…The similarities…come naturally from the chance or the misfortune that we have to live in the same era and in confrontation with common problems and concerns". (Lottman, 470)
Despite of Camus' rejection of … he is seen as an existentialist and also deals with the same problems as Sartre does in a little different way through his philosophy of the Absurd. In this connection, Germaine Bee comments, "Camus remained more consistently faithful to Existentialism…than did Sartre with his commitment to doctrinaire Marxism…There was no theorist's system he Camus wanted to communicate to others. It was of the one-sidedness of doctrinaire ideologies that he was critical". (Charlesworth, 40)
refused the offer because shifting would be a trouble for him. Same lack of response was seen, when he got the news of his mother's death and also at another occasion when his girlfriend proposed him to marry her and he casually responds by saying it does not matter to him but if she wants he will marry her because it does not affect him and his life. He stays emotionless, no feelings, no remorse or grief. He paid more attention to the unnecessary things than on the task in hand.

He does not want to take the trouble of making decisions.
