Pain Management Specialists Healthcare providers who specialize in pain management recognize the complex nature of pain, and a pain doctor “approaches the problem from all directions,” Yonan said. Ideally, treatment at a pain clinic is patient-centric, but in reality, this may depend on the available resources of the institution. Currently, there are no established standards for the types of disciplines that must be included, and this is another reason why treatment offerings will vary from clinic to clinic....

Cody Bellinger hit the 9.0 mark last year, when he won the NL MVP award. He’s joined by Mookie Betts, who produced a 9.7 bWAR in 2016, when he finished second in the AL MVP voting, and a 10.9 in 2018, when he won the award. RIVERA: Grading the Mookie Betts trade The 10.9 bWAR, by the way, is the best mark produced by any player other than Barry Bonds and Cal Ripken Jr....

Fahim, 68, almost became prime minister in 2002. Only his loyalty to Bhutto kept him from running the government. Back then Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was scrambling to find coalition partners to bolster his own jerry-built party. He offered the top job to Fahim, who then as now was vice chairman of the PPP, but only under the condition that Fahim would not take direction from Bhutto, who was in exile....

Trump is set to announce the proposal alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday. The blueprint—overseen by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner—is widely expected to validate right-wing Netanyahu’s nativist and security-first policies regarding Palestinians. It could be a welcome boon for Netanyahu, who is also facing indictment over fraud allegations. Few expect Trump’s plan to be neutral. Indeed, Palestinian officials cut ties with the White House early in Trump’s presidency in protest of his decision to defund Palestinian refugee organizations and government agencies....

It turned out not to be close. The accuser was credible on the stand, but no more so than the accused last Tuesday. Smith’s account of what happened on the lawn last Easter weekend at the Kennedy compound in Palm Beach was presented simply and efficiently, even if it lacked the emotive power of his accuser. And his performance on cross-examination was so strong that the defense chose to drop a major chunk of its case....

However, there is no similar process for pandemic preparedness policy and funding; and this is somewhat jarring, as COVID-19 has cost more American lives than all U.S. wars combined since the Civil War. This must change. Preparing for our next pandemic is as urgent a priority as emboldening military readiness in 2022, in the face of similarly, asymmetrical threats. In its fiscal year 2023 budget, the Biden administration included a $88....

This 35 percent uptick, released in a joint report by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), and the Civic Data Design Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), sheds light on the challenges Central America faces as it attempts to recover from the devastation brought forth by COVID-19. Though migration isn’t driven by one factor, economic stagnation worsened by COVID-19 plays a major factor in the recent phenomenon, according to the report....

Mecklenburg County Judge Rebecca Thorn-Tin sentenced Hardy to 18 months’ probation. A 60-day jail sentence was suspended.

In North Carolina that means the terms of Hardy’s probation are on hold until the trial — so he’s free to travel with the team to training camp and compete in games....

According to the Charlotte Observer, the player and his brother, Danny “Dogman” Jones, conned a man out of $3,000 after receiving an investment check for their plans to breed and sell Boerboels, a large breed of Mastiff that can weigh more than 200 pounds.

Citizens of the city, which is located in New South Wales, are now only allowed out for reasons such as essential work or food shopping. However, when a group of people decided to breach the restrictions and go for a walk in nature, they were saved from getting in trouble with the police by an unlikely lookout. In footage shared to TikTok by kennysads, we can see a paraglider swooping down from the left, to warn the people sat on a grassy hill in the Northern Beaches....

The now-viral Reddit post, titled, “AITA for causing a walk out [at] a [3-year-old’s] birthday party,” has been upvoted 12,200 times since it was shared on June 12. Redditor @Preschoolpartydrama shared the post to the subreddit “Am I the A**hole,” revealing her three-year-old was invited to a preschool classmate’s birthday party that took place at an indoor playground. According to Statista, a 2018 survey found that 29 percent of people spent more than $100 on a child’s birthday....

In the post by MermaidCheeks entitled ‘Mumsnet Don’t Afford Kids If You Can’t Afford It’, they write, “Who exactly do this lot think are going to be looking after them in hospitals and care homes when they’re elderly and infirm? If only those who could really afford to have kids had them - a decreasing well-off demographic -we’d be even more f***ed than we already are. “Immigration is not a long-term solution when 80% of elderly are going to be spread across low and middle-affluent countries by 2050, either....

The woman, who posted her story on parenting forum Mumsnet, explained that the family had gone on vacation together every year for the past 12 years—except during lockdown. Her parents fund the trip to a “lovely villa” in Italy, she said. The tradition began when she and her siblings were in their teens and they are now in their mid to late 20s. Partners and children are invited too as the family has expanded over the years....

On November 13, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were found fatally stabbed in their beds inside an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. As of Wednesday night, police had not identified a suspect in the case. The parents of Goncalves, Mogen and Chapin attended the vigil hosted on the university’s campus at 6 p.m. Mountain Time.

Posting on Mumsnet, a British discussion website, a woman in her 30s said her mother told her “out of the blue” that “they are planning to leave their house to my brother”, which left her feeling “properly pee’d off”. She wrote: “I am one of two siblings, and me and my brother are both in our 30s now and both of us have a relationship with our parents. “I have worked since I left school…I have an inherited health condition that has made this a real struggle at times, I am happy with my life, and am married....
