Michigan lawmakers have proposed a bill to protect workers’ right to disconnect after work.
The bill would ban employers from retaliating against workers who don’t respond to messages once they’re off the clock, and require them to pay workers when they’re on-call.
NEW: Around 1,000 Palestinian students who've received scholarships abroad remain trapped in Gaza as Israel controls the borders and won’t let them out.
Hundreds of the stranded students gathered in Gaza City demanding the Rafah crossing be opened so they can attend school. 🎥
Happy to see some interest in this album, but it's not just a mysterious obscurity. Context matters! This is Mariah, Yasuaki Shimizu's band. He's a famous saxophonist and session musician that has played on hundreds of records. Here's four amazing solo albums from him.
Just for clarity: McKenzie discovered centralisation, peripheralisation occurred without his discovery in every patient on the planet with somatic referred pain, radiculopathy and or radicular pain. It’s not a McKenzie discovery.
Peripheralisation is not the opposite.
.@Retlouping's recent posts on Centralisation and Peripherilsation in Radiculopathy reminded me of my recent use of the Puddle metaphor in Radicular Pain - which has been received well by Sciatica patients.
Sometimes with progress I don't see a pattern of centralisation or peripheralisation... just a "drying up" of radicular pain.
I present to you: Puddlisation.
Comes with the added metaphorical benefits of using "rainy days" to explain an exacerbation, and the use of seasons "summer is around the corner" for drying up (majority of Australians get it).
The comments on this are utterly bizarre.
This happens when the fabric rubs against itself. You can mitigate some of this by purchasing looser-fitting jeans and/ or washing more often. If you wash your jeans infrequently, tiny dirt particles can get trapped between the fibers, acting like tiny saws. That said, most people don't need to wash their jeans after every wear. IMO, a good rule of thumb is to use common sense — wash your jeans when you think they're dirty.
You can repair these holes by taking the jeans to a tailor who knows how to darn. Unlike patching, where a tailor puts another piece of fabric behind the hole, darning is a process of adding entirely new material, filling in the hole in a way that almost matches the weave. However, darning works best on pure cotton jeans. If you purchase a cotton-elastane blend, the darning won't be very stable and thus not last very long.
If you don't have a local tailor who knows how to darn, you can send the jeans to Denim Therapy, Denim Surgeon, or Williamsburg Garment Company (all based in New York). They will repair the jeans for a small fee. Best to get the jeans repaired just as you're starting to see the hole formed. The larger the hole, the more expensive the repair, and the harder it will be to make the repair look natural.
If you find this happening to tailored trousers, seek out trousers made from a worsted cloth rather than a woolen one, especially in heavier weights and a twill weave. A 16oz whipcord or cavalry twill will wear much harder than a 12oz woolen flannel.

Researchers traced it to a 2006 hospital video
And a 1994 quote from a pediatrician who said she learned it from daycare
Neither CDC nor WHO can tell you who invented it
It's just folklore that gained a following
