Manchester City throw the FA Cup for England as Chelsea march on
The newspapers are torn: did Manchester City throw their FA Cup tie against Chelsea, losing the match 5-1? The Telegraph s ays Manuel Pelligrini's decision to field a greatly inexperienced side "backfired". The inference is that the City manager thought an experimental City youth side could defeat the Chelsea first team at Stamford Bridge. Surely not. City came to chance their arm and gain experience for their young players.
Chelsea v City was scheduled for late yesterday, before the Manchester side play Wednesday's Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine. Then City play Liverpool in the Capital One next Sunday.
City have higher priorities.
The Mirror accuses City of being the "Cup Killers".
Pelligrini has hammered another nail into the demise of football's oldest Cup, says the Mirror . Says Pellegrini:
"We were forced to select that team, we couldn't play another day and didn't have any more fit players. We knew it was a difficult chance to carry on in the FA Cup. We cannot do anything more. If we play on Saturday, it is better for us, then we play in the Champions League for England. We have six players injured and cannot take any more risks. We played against a very good team and that's why they won."
The Sun mocks Pelligrini's claim that city did it for England:
Is Pelligrini wrong to claim England came first? Not entirely, no.
The Barclays Premier League claims four spots in the Champions League. Italy's

Software capable of fixing iPhone 4 reception, recall unnecessary?
Apple may be able to fix the iPhone 4's left-hand reception issues with a software update, according to a new report. Citing a person with direct knowledge of Apple's plans, the New York Times reports that the unique antenna design of the iPhone 4 has exposed a weakness in the communications software of iOS, specifically in the interaction between specialized communications software and the antenna. According to the source, the software problem has been present in the iOS for a long time, but was only discovered after the iPhone 4 shipped. The report also claims that the problem could presumably be fixed with a software update, one separate from iOS 4.0.1 that was released yesterday.
Notably, both this report and a separate Wall Street Journal piece claim that Apple will not be launching a recall of iPhone 4 units. Regarding yesterday's report of Apple engineer Ruben Caballero voicing concerns about the phone's antenna design early in its development, an Apple spokesperson told the WSJ, "We challenge Bloomberg BusinessWeek to produce anything beyond rumors to back this up. It's simply not true." The latter article also claims that Apple gives its carrier partners much less time to test a new iPhone before release. Both articles follow Apple's announcement of a press conference to be held at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time today, and an open letter from U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) directing Apple to fix the problem.
Apple posts iOS SDK 4.0.1
Apple has posted its iOS Software Development Kit (SDK) 4.0.1, bringing with it compatibility with the latest iOS software releases. Notably, Apple is warning developers that if they have updated their iPhones to iOS 4.0.1 or their iPads to iOS 3.2.1 they will need to download and install the new SDK to continue development. Unlike the iOS 4.1 beta and accompanying SDK released yesterday, iOS SDK 4.0.1 is available to all registered developers, and not just those who have paid Apple's $99 annual fee to enroll in the iPhone Developer Program. Apple's iOS SDK 4.0.1 is available now as a free download from the iPhone Dev Center.
Apple releases iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone
Apple has released iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone, the first update to the iOS since the release of 4.0 on June 21. According to Apple's release notes, the 4.0.1 Software Update "improves the formula to determine how many bars of signal strength to display." Apple promised this fix in a press release earlier this month; it remains to be seen whether it also addresses the ongoing proximity sensor issue, as well. The iOS 4.0.1 Software Update for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 is available now via the Update feature in iTunes.
Apple patent points to new Dock connector
A newly published Apple patent application suggests the company is working on a new format Dock Connector that would allow device docking in multiple orientations. Entitled "Methods and Apparatuses For Docking a Portable Electronic Device That Has a Planar Like Configuration and That Operates in Multiple Orientations," the patent describes a docking system that, like current Apple Docks, offers both power and data to the connected device, either via flush contacts that physically touch similar contacts on the dock itself, or via inductive coils that could be concealed within the device's body. As AppleInsider notes, the patent also covers less progressive docking ideas including traditional electrical contact docks that can be rotated or adjusted; it notably also shows an iPad-like device being docked to an articulated arm not unlike the one found on earlier iMac models. As with all Apple patents, this filing does not necessarily represent any future product release from Apple, but offers evidence of the company's research in this area.
iOS 4.1 tweaks bars + FaceTime, adds Game Center + settings
Apple's limited developer release of the beta version of iOS 4.1 yesterday makes a handful of small new changes to iOS 4.0, which debuted in June 2010 for iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPod touch 2G, iPod touch 3G, and iPhone 4 devices. For readers who may be interested in what's changed, we've compiled a brief list, along with several screenshots provided by a reader.
One subtle change was first spotted in iOS 4.1 but will likely appear in an iOS 4.0.1 update, as well: Apple's signal bar strength meter has been updated to more accurately depict cellular signal strength, such that they will show fewer bars than before under some conditions, and the first three bars have been made larger.
Game Center, a matchmaking and leaderboard application for iOS 4-compatible games, has been added again to the list of icons. Apple included Game Center with developer versions of iOS 4.0 until the date of final release, but pulled the app from the publicly available iOS 4 release to give developers additional time to integrate their apps with the feature. The new version of Game Center includes an updated interface with stylized graphics.
Apple has added a new Settings > General > Restrictions option to turn off multi-player game matchmaking within Game Center, which disables the request tab and friend adding for that application. It has also added a new Settings > General > Keyboard option to disable the spell checking feature. User-created dictionary entries also appear to be in the offing for iOS 4.1, enabling the auto-correction feature to learn additional words that shouldn't be replaced.
Additional features include support for adding iPhone 4 FaceTime contacts to your Favorites list, a tweak that moves the Flash and Camera switch buttons to different locations when the device is tilted into landscape orientation, and a change to AVRCP Bluetooth handing that allows for track skipping. A version of iOS 4.1 for iPad notably has not been released by Apple.
Apple knew of potential iPhone 4 antenna issue?
Apple knew the antenna design of the iPhone 4 could pose an issue, according to a new report. Citing a person familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports that Ruben Caballero, a Senior Director of iPod/iPhone engineering described in the report as an antenna expert, warned company management about the potential perils of the design. According to the report, Caballero voiced his concerns in early planning meetings once the bezel antenna design had been chosen, saying that it might lead to dropped calls and would be an engineering challenge. Beyond Caballero, a separate Bloomberg source claimed that one of Apple's carrier partners also expressed concern about the antenna, although the report does not specify the carrier's name. Apple is expected to address the iPhone 4's antenna issues in a press conference scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time tomorrow.
Apple to discuss iPhone 4 on Friday
Apple has invited a small number of journalists to a special press conference, expected to be held at its headquarters in Cupertino, CA, to discuss the iPhone 4. Apple has not indicated who will be speaking at the event, which will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday, nor has it given specifics about what exactly will be discussed, beyond saying that the event will focus on the iPhone 4. Most likely, the company will address concerns over the device's ongoing antenna issues, and possibly other, less publicized issues like malfunctioning proximity sensors.
Apple releases iOS 4.1, 4.1 SDK beta
Apple has released its first beta version of iOS 4.1, along with an accompanying software development kit (SDK), to registered iPhone developers. Notably, there is no version of the beta operating system available for the iPad, suggesting that contrary to prior reports, iOS 4.1 will not be a platform-unifying release, but will instead cater to Apple's pocketable devices exclusively. It is currently unknown what, if any, new features or APIs may be included in the update; it is also unknown whether it is meant to help alleviate initial problems with the iPhone 4, or whether those fixes will come in an incremental 4.0.1 update. Both the new iOS 4.1 SDK and pre-release builds are available now for download by registered iPhone developers from the iPhone Dev Center.
ColorWare offers mail-in iPhone 4 custom coloring
ColorWare has started offering a send-in iPhone 4 custom coloring service. The service allows customers to choose from a variety of solid, metallic, or pearlescent colors, some of which are available with a soft touch finish, for application on the phone's back, frame, Home button, micro SIM slot and earbuds. Each component can be painted a separate color, although each component beyond the frame costs extra. ColorWare's custom coloring service for the iPhone 4 is available now with an estimated three week turn around time, and starts at $260.
iPhone 4 users wage proximity sensor issue campaign
The lack of response by Apple to a known iPhone 4 proximity sensor issue, in which calls can be accidentally interrupted by button presses and hang-ups, has led to a grass roots campaign to force Apple to acknowledge and resolve the problem. Reader Trent Phillips, who previously emailed with the results of controlled proximity sensor testing, has launched a letter writing campaign to both technical and mainstream media outlets covering Apple products. Phillips' message claims that Apple "is ignoring earnest requests from customers for support and resolution of this issue," and asks recipients to cover the proximity sensor problems with the same vigor given to the iPhone 4's reception issues.
In addition, Phillips also pointed to an Apple discussions support thread on the subject that, at 1,689 replies, had been deemed "too long" by Apple. Apple locked that thread after 113 pages of discussion, which it said was causing browser timeouts when loading, and started a continuation thread earlier today with additional replies. Prominent in the new thread is discussion of returning the device before the 30 day limit is up, as are complaints over Apple's silence on the issue up until this point. It is still unknown whether the issue can be fixed via a software update, or whether hardware replacements will be necessary to fix the problem for affected users.
Survey: Planned iPhone purchases up significantly
According to data from the latest ChangeWave smartphone survey, more than half of all respondents planning to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days are planning to purchase an iPhone. 52% of respondents said they planned to purchase an iPhone, a dramatic 21% increase from the March survey. Following Apple was HTC, with 19% of respondents planning to purchase one of its phones, Motorola, with 9%, and RIM with 6%. Notably, both Motorola and RIM saw significant decreases from March, with Motorola down 7% and RIM falling 8%. In addition, Apple continued to lead in cell phone customer satisfaction, with 73% of iPhone customers saying that they are "very satisfied" with their device. ChangeWave's numbers are based on a survey of 4,028 consumers, completed June 24.
Apple removing iPhone 4 discussions mentioning Consumer Reports
Apple has been removing any threads on its support forums mentioning Consumer Reports' post from yesterday, claiming that it couldn't recommend the iPhone 4 due to reception concerns. TUAW reports that Apple has removed at least six such discussions, one of which is still available in cached form from Bing. As the report notes, this is hardly the first time Apple has been caught removing unfavorable threads from its support forums, but it does reflect poorly on the company as it attempts to deal with the iPhone 4 antenna debacle.
Consumer Reports 'can't recommend' iPhone 4 over signal issues
After stating in an earlier post that there was "no reason, at least yet, to forgo buying an iPhone 4 over its reception concerns," Consumer Reports has published a new blog post claiming that it "can't recommend" the iPhone 4 due to its ongoing cellular reception issues. During testing of three separate iPhone 4 units within the publication's radio frequency isolation chamber, Consumer Reports was able to replicate the "left hand" issue in which the device experiences significant signal degradation when skin touches the black band on the lower left hand side of the handset. The signal issue is cited as the sole reason the iPhone 4 was not considered a "recommended" model in new smartphone ratings released by the publication today, despite the fact that it "sports the sharpest display and best video camera we've seen on any phone, and even outshines its high-scoring predecessors with improved battery life and such new features as a front-facing camera for video chats and a built-in gyroscope that turns the phone into a super-responsive game controller."
iPhone lawsuit goes class action nationwide
A long-standing lawsuit against Apple and AT&T over the two companies' iPhone exclusivity agreement has been granted expanded class action status. According to the court document posted online by Wired, the suit now covers "[a]ll persons who purchased or acquired an iPhone in the United States and entered into a two-year agreement with Defendant AT&T Mobility, LLC for iPhone voice and data service any time from June 29, 2007, to the present." In an interview with Wired, Mark Rifkin, lead counsel representing the plaintiffs of the suit, explained that AT&T's two-year contract provides an option for customers to terminate the agreement—for a fee—and switch to another carrier. Due to the nature of the U.S. cellular industry, and because the iPhone is only offered by AT&T, customers are essentially locked into using AT&T despite having the termination option.
Apple has argued that its original five-year iPhone exclusivity agreement with AT&T was widely reported, and that even if it wasn't disclosed, it fails to produce the kind of monopoly power claimed by the plaintiffs. Notably, the exclusivity situation described above is the same for many current smartphones from other cellular providers, such as the Evo 4G from Sprint, the Droid from Verizon, and the original model of the Nexus One from T-Mobile. In addition, it remains to be seen whether the five-year exclusivity deal between Apple and AT&T is still in place, as it has been speculated that the terms of the two companies' iPhone deal may have been part of the negotiations over iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G data plans.
Apple posts four new iPhone 4 FaceTime ads
Apple has posted four new iPhone 4 television commercials. Similar to the company's first iPhone 4 ad, the new 30-second spots highlight the phone's FaceTime video chat feature. "Meet Her" shows a new grandfather meeting his granddaughter for the first time, "Haircut" revolves around a boyfriend seeing his girlfriend's new haircut, "Smile" shows a father attempting to get his daughter to smile so he can see her new braces, and "Big News" shows a wife sharing the news with her husband that they are going to have a child. All four new TV ads are available for viewing on Apple's website.
MobileNavigator adds Background Location and more
Navigon has updated its MobileNavigator turn-by-turn navigation applications, adding support for iOS 4 Background Location and Fast App Switching on multitasking-capable devices and several other new features. In addition to multitasking, MobileNavigator 1.6 adds live weather information, directions to parking, voice guidance for pedestrian mode and an enhanced Reality View Pro. The new Live Weather feature updates and reports current weather conditions enroute and at the destination with temperature and weather conditions shown in the route overview screen during navigation. A new Clever Parking feature enables users to display a list of available parking areas near their destination and easily plot a route to a parking spot. Support for iOS 4 Background Location allows MobileNavigator to continue running in the background and providing voice guidance on multitasking-capable devices. MobileNavigator will also automatically shut down background location mode when no route is active or once you've reached your destination, avoiding unnecessary power consumption from the GPS hardware. The latest update also adds enhanced graphics for the iPhone 4 Retina Display and includes the latest NAVTEQ map data, while bringing the Navigon MyRegion suite of regional apps up to the same feature level as the main MobileNavigator series; the MyRegion apps have been renamed to MobileNavigator MyRegion to reflect this. MobileNavigator North America is available from the App Store for $50 until July 22 and is a free update for current users. Versions for other countries can be found on Navigon's App Store page.
Apple, others sued over cellphone email
Apple, along with Google, HTC, LG, Microsoft, and Motorola, has been sued over technology relating to wireless email. The Wall Street Journal reports that NTP sued the companies in U.S. District Court in Virginia over eight patents covering the wireless delivery of email to cellphones. "Use of NTP's intellectual property without a license is just plain unfair to NTP and its licensees," company co-founder Donald E. Stout said in a statement. "We took the necessary action to protect our intellectual property." NTP previously received a $612.5 million settlement from BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion, to prevent a potential injunction, giving it some precedence heading into its proceedings with Apple.
iPhone 4 proximity sensor problems blamed on software
Noting that Apple has not responded to numerous complaints in its own support forums regarding iPhone 4 proximity sensor problems, iLounge reader Trent Phillips has conducted tests to determine differences between the sensor behaviors of multiple iPhone models, and concluded that an iOS software update is capable of resolving the problems. In an e-mail to iLounge, Phillips says that the iPhones are all capable of deactivating their screens when objects are detected at a two-inch distance from the sensor, but the iPhone 4 behaves differently from its predecessors, making decisions that lead to accidental screen reactivations under certain conditions.
Earlier iPhones, Phillips notes, switch off their screens at the two-inch distance regardless of the color and past motion of the approaching object. By comparison, the iPhone 4 appears to be less sensitive to dark objects than light ones, and also changes its deactivation distance dynamically after the initial contact. Consequently, the iPhone 4's screen deactivates only from a shorter distance—say, one inch rather than two inches—if the object it initially reacted to was at the shorter distance. Testing with black and white pieces of paper suggested that the "black piece of paper greatly reduced the detection range of the proximity sensor," which "could also explain why some people see different effects," says Phillips, based on skin tone, makeup, light levels, and other factors. His belief is that the iPhone 4's sensor retains the two-inch range of prior iPhones, but has been miscalibrated on the software side, perhaps in an effort to improve battery life. While it's still unclear as to whether changes in the iPhone 4's glass material and/or proximity sensor hardware could also be responsible for the issues, Phillips believes from his testing that a software update could fix the problem, and "all may be well again."
Fring adds two-way video calling for iPhone 4
Fring has released an update to its iOS voice and video communications app adding support for two-way video calling and multitasking on capable iOS 4 devices. Although Fring added one-way video calling to its iPhone application last December, the lack of a front-facing camera on the earlier iPhone models precluded its use for two-way video conferencing. With the addition of the new front-facing camera on the iPhone 4, Fring users can now engage in bi-directional video calls over either Wi-Fi or 3G from the iPhone 4. As a cross-platform client, users of Fring on the iPhone can also conduct video calls with users on Android and Symbian S60 devices. Users of older iPhone models can also now participate in two-way video calls using the built-in camera, however the absence of the front-facing camera on these devices makes face-to-face video calling less practical. The latest version also adds iOS 4 multitasking support, a new social stream for integrating Twitter, Facebook, chats and call updates in a single view, and a smarter address book for managing the buddy list and contacts. Fring is available from the App Store as a free download.
Update: Our preliminary testing indicates that the two-way video calling works fine on older iPhone models as well, although as noted the feature may be less useful here due to the lack of a front-facing camera. Video and audio quality are noticeably lower than FaceTime, even over a Wi-Fi connection. Further, on the iPhone 4 only the front-facing camera appears to be used with no way of switching to the rear-facing camera as in FaceTime. The main advantages over FaceTime are 3G support and compatibility with older iPhone models and Android and Symbian S60 devices.
Apple held 24.4% of U.S. smartphone market March - May
According to the latest data from comScore, Apple accounted for 24.4% of the U.S. smartphone market for the three months ending in May. RIM was once again the market leader with a 41.7% share of the market; Apple was second, followed by Microsoft with 13.2%, Google's Android with 13%, and Palm with 4.8%. Apple's percentage, which is based on smartphone subscribers and is taken as an average from the three month period, is down slightly from the 25.4% share the company held in the three months ending in February 2010, but does not account for any sales of the iPhone 4, while likely including some sales that were delayed or lost as details of the new handset leaked prior to its official unveiling.

9. Firefly Flight Training
For those who have been participating in the Tour for several editions now, you may be wondering how we are able to bring together thousands of bikers in one day, in one place, with one thought in mind – to have fun, and then to help the environment recover and help preserve it for future generations. One way for us to realize this goal is to look for future members of the Firefly Brigade who would have the same fervor as we have in caring for the environment. It is through the FFT that we try to incubate members who would have the Firefly Spirit of having fun between their legs and at the same time, being responsible for the environment not just as armchair environmentalist but as hands on advocates.
Why is this important to know?
Walang forever di ba? So then, in order to make sure that there are future generations of Parplays who will continue the work of the present crop of super dedicated Parplay volunteers, we give people the opportunity, nay, the privilege of serving the cycling community in particular and the whole world in general, by participating and contributing to the realization of our mission, vision and advocacies. The FFT is your gateway to a world full of real adventures not only in cycling but also to helping others realize their dreams.
10. Advocacy Ride/Fun Ride
Our monthly Critical Mass Ride and our annual Tour of the Fireflies are perfect examples of an advocacy ride and fun ride combined into one. They are our way of showing how the little things we do as individuals can overflow to world class, life changing events that can influence other nations to do the same.
Why is this important to know?
While no two rides are exactly the same in terms of number of participants and theme of the month, all our advocacy/fun rides are meant to give bikers an experience they will long cherish in life. We like to think that we are establishing a legacy that next generation Filipino bikers will understand and try to continue and perpetuate as long as they can. It is important not only to know what we do but also have the will to do the same.
Words can only convey as much that people can understand and relate with on a deeper level. They are as limited as our understanding of the concepts behind them. However, words are tools that can be used to introduce and implant the seed of interest and can, in time bloom into fruition if nurtured properly and given enough loving care. With this year's Tour of the Fireflies, we hope to do this and inspire change in all its participants.

This Year
For Gemini natives, the new year will begin on a good note, especially on the financial front. Conjunction of Venus and Moon, early in the year, may bring an important opportunity that will act as a game changer for your business/ professional life. Keep your eyes and ears open, says Ganesha. The movement of Venus through the year, and the position of Jupiter in the 5th House shall also affect your work life. Venus in direct mode shall work well, helping you succeed. Jupiter in 5th House from your Sign will enable and facilitate new projects, creative activities, innovative ventures etc. However, there are likely to be some distractions, which may steer away focus from your goals and work. You shall be keen to enjoy the pleasures of life. Well do so, but refrain from going overboard. Remain committed to your responsibilities, whether personal or professional. While all may be well in work domain, you may remain anxious owing to troubles on the personal front. Do not become aggressive or detached. Speak, but also listen, says Ganesha. And, if nothing seems to work, let the issue cool down. Venus moving to its Sign of exaltation, Pisces, will work well for you. It will help you sort out your emotions, and move ahead in wealth creation endeavors.

|my classroom window
The funny thing is, right before we left California I made the decision that I was going to take this whole blogging thing more seriously. I wanted to post great content and do it consistently. So maybe you're thinking, well what the hell happened? Or maybe that's just me. We spent an amazing two weeks in California. We got engaged. And if that didn't make me the happiest little bitty in the world, the day after we got home I got a call from the Assistant Principal at the school I've subbed at for the past year offering me a full time teaching position! A first grade teacher left the school and they wanted me to take her spot! Seriously, the great news just kept coming! They asked me to start right away so that following Monday I found myself in a classroom surrounded by twenty little six year olds.
I would be totally lying if I said it's been easy. The life of a teacher is neither relaxing nor glamorous. I've been sick since the day I started, I've dried more tears and put band-aides on more 'boo boo's' than I know what to do with, I've stayed at school every night till about 5 o' clock decorating the classroom and grading papers. But you want to know something? I absolutely love it! I have a job that I'm excited to go to every day. I call my students my 'littles', and I love all of them. Of course there have been many hard moments, and times where I've thought to myself, what the hell did I get myself into? But in all honesty, I couldn't be happier. Being surrounded by these kids every day proves to me that there is still greatness in this ugly world. Their innocence is refreshing. They're eager to learn, and their positive attitudes are infectious. Whenever they learn something new, their eyes light up. They say the cutest and the dumbest things and keep me laughing all day long. I'll remember this group of kids forever because they're the ones that made me a teacher, and for that I'm so grateful!
So there you have it. I had every intention to come back from California and blog every day (or, you know, a few times a week) but then I started this new adventure and blogging took a seat on the back burner. Will I start blogging consistently? Who knows. I want to, I love this space of mine. Writing is therapeutic to me. My problem is time management. Finding time in the day to do all the things I want. There just aren't enough hours. But it's something I'm working on. So stick with me.

In a lot of cultures around the world, massage therapy has had a long life. In today's world, people use many different types of massage therapy for a variety of health-related purposes. In the U.S massage therapy is usually considered as part of a complementary and alternative medicine although it does have some conventional uses. So you have been having sore muscles, or want to have easier labor? Then learn what massage therapy can do for you.
So what are the health benefits of massage therapy?
According to the 2007 National Health Interview survey that was carried out, it is estimated that close to 18 million adults and some 700,000 children had received massage therapy in the US in the previous year alone.
People today use massages for a variety of health-related reasons that include:
• Pain relieving
• Rehabilitation of sports injuries
• Reducing stress
• Increasing relaxation
. Stimulate blood circulation
• Addressing anxiety
• Depression
So how will massage therapy affect your body?
You are probably looking forward to a massage therapy session, and you are hoping that it helps salvage your health problem, but you are unsure how it will affect your body? Well although scientific research on massage therapy on whether it works or not is limited, however, there is evidence whether massage may benefit some patients.
According to scientific studies, it is stated that a single session of massage therapy can reduce state anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate, and that multiple successions can reduce trait anxiety, depression, and pain.
Massage therapy is an integral part of chiropractic care, and it can also be incorporated into chiropractic care for a number of reasons. It's normal for a massage to be done at a spa or your local saloon, and it feels wonderful. However, this kind of therapy can be rejuvenating especially if you are suffering from chronic pain or fatigue.
When massage therapy is performed along with medical knowledge and guidance of a medical practitioner, like a chiropractor, then it can drastically change the course of your rehabilitation. In case you have had a recent surgery, a therapeutic massage can be able to make a great difference in your healing time. Not to mention, it will greatly reduce the appearance of the scar tissue that you may have acquired after the surgery.
In addition to this benefits, massage therapy from a chiropractic professional will be able to improve your posture and manage the pain that may have been caused by conditions such as arthritis.
For a great number of patients, their main problem cannot be treated wholly by chiropractic care without including massage therapy. For this particular reason, many chiropractic clinics such as Advanced Chiropractic Rehab Center have included massage therapy within their own services.
Who will provide my Chiropractic Therapy for my health related issue?
It is important to get a qualified and skilled professional to offer you a massage therapy that will be able to help your health related condition. In the United States, The National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Body Work certifies practitioners who pass a national examination. In states that license therapist, they are required to have a minimum of 500 hours of training at an accredited institution, pass a national examination, and carry a malpractice insurance.
In addition to massage therapists, healthcare providers such as chiropractors have training in massage therapy. In case you need a massage therapy, our chiropractors Dr. Mehran Shei and Dr. Parvin Alemi are here to help. Contact us and learn more about the benefits of chiropractic care for auto accident injuries.

Upon examination of your account, I found that it got autosuspended because your form "Simple Job Application Form" had a field named "codename" and that triggered our automatic form review systems for suspicion of violating our terms of use.
Please see our terms of use, especially sections "Phishing" and "Collecting Sensitive Information" here: https://www.jotform.com/help/8-Terms-of-Use
I have renamed that field to "name" and re-activated your account.

If you follow me on Instagram you've seen this already, but I couldn't pass the chance of showing you the whole thing.
It all started three years ago. I used to have a tomato frog that was basically the equivalent of a cat. Used to take it to the park and whatnot (no, not on a leash, don't be silly… he had a traveling case). He passed away about a week or two after I met Mat and he told me one day we would get another frog.
Anyway, fast forward to last Saturday when we woke up and said "let's go get a frog today", you know, usual Mat and Ana being impulsive. We went to PetCo that evening and got two brown Mantella froggies. Initially we were going to get only one but we didn't want to separate them so we took both of them home. We got all the necessary stuff to build them a proper habitat, a terrarium, soil, moss, pool, climbing wall, heat lamp, humidifier, and an Ikea cabinet.
We decided to name them Taco and Pasta. Mexican and Italian, like us! The guy at the store said they're both male but we're not 100% sure. After doing some research I found that females are bigger and more robust than males and Pasta is definitely bigger than Taco. One of them has been chirping (which means he wants a female, if you know what I mean), but up until now every time I get closer to see which one of them is the one chirping, he stops!!
They eat small crickets (live), but they also like small waxworms which I have to let them try soon I guess. So far they look pretty happy in their new place, they also look like they get along just fine.
What I love about having frogs as pets is that you don't have to be by their side every single moment, they eat when they want as long as you put some crickets in the terrarium, you don't need to take them outside to go to the bathroom, and what's better is that you can even go on trips without having to worry. We set up the heat lamp to come on and off automatically so the temperature is always right, and we also got the humidifier that comes on in cycles so you don't have to do it manually either. It's seriously so convenient and they're simply adorable!
I might keep posting more about frogs every now and then if you guys are interested, there's so much to learn and they're awesome to photograph!

3 Marketing Tips You Should Implement
Do you run a business and you need new customers or want to gain more exposure? If so, then you need to market yourself, but you're in luck because we have put together three marketing tips you can start using. Below are the three tips that you can implement today.
1. Create and share videos weekly. It doesn't matter what you're selling or offering, the best way to reach a large number of people quickly is via video marketing. Create a 2-3 videos per week and share them to the top social media sites such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Vimeo to name a few. If people enjoy your videos or find them useful, they will share it and you'll get more views.
2. Advertise on Facebook because it's one of the quickest ways to reach your targeted market. You can customize an ad or you can pay to expose your posts to more people. Plus, you can start advertising with very little money, which allows you to figure out what works and what doesn't.
3. Write articles about your business, brand, products or services or industry-related news and publish it on at least 2-4 article sharing websites 1-2 times per week. Make sure to link back to your main site in each article. Doing this will help you build back links and it will help you reach more people. Just make sure each article you write is unique and original because copied and pasted articles will do you no favors.
If you don't do any of the above, then you're missing out. You could be getting new customers and gaining more exposure by doing those things. With that said, you should start creating videos, advertising on Facebook and publishing articles on various sites. The sooner you do those things, the sooner you can get results.
