“Unlimited is a funny term, because it often comes with a whole long list of footnotes, terms, conditions, and exceptions. Mercifully, all of the Big Three cellular companies have, by now, ditching throttling on their highest-paid tiers and include 5G data access in all their unlimited plans. Yet there are still many differences in the services they offer, and from tier to tier within each company.
Cheaper “unlimited” tiers, too still have rules on how much unlimited data you get before you start limiting you Data throttling is the practice of reducing your data speeds after you hit a certain threshold of data used in a month or during times of congestion. It’s been a fixture of cell service plan for years – even on so-called unlimited plans.

Before Chanute AFB was decommissioned in 1993, many aircraft maintenance technical training courses were conducted there. Older retirees have memories, good or bad, of the base and the surrounding area. Being there in winter was never fun, especially marching from your dorm to classes and back.
Chanute Air Force Base was established as Chanute Field on May 21, 1917. It was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entry into World War I. Its primary mission throughout its existence was Air Force technical training.
Chanute AFB was in Champaign County, Illinois, south of and adjacent to Rantoul, Illinois, about 130 miles (210 km) south of Chicago.
The base was decommissioned in 1993, and technical training classes relocated to other Air Force training bases.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke every year, and around 610,000 are first strokes.
In 2019, stroke was the second leading cause of mortality globally, accounting for 11% of deaths.
There are three main types of stroke. The first and most common, accounting for 87% of cases, is an ischemic stroke. It occurs when blood flow through the artery that supplies oxygen to the brain becomes blocked.
The second is a hemorrhagic stroke, caused by a rupture in an artery in the brain, which in turn damages surrounding tissues.
The third type of stroke is a transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is sometimes called a “ministroke.” It happens when blood flow is temporarily blocked to the brain, usually for no more than 5 minutes.
While stroke is very common, it is often misunderstood. To help us dispel myths on the topic and improve our understanding, we got in touch with Dr. Rafael Alexander Ortiz, chief of Neuro-Endovascular Surgery and Interventional Neuro-Radiology at Lenox Hill Hospital.

For years, the warnings about medicare’s inadequate funding and rising costs have been dire. Congress knows it needs to do something, but politics and the complexity of the task keep even partial fixes in stalemate. “The financial health of Medicare is terrible,” says Robert Moffit, a senior fellow in domestic policy studies specializing in health care and entitlement programs at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. Medicare costs almost a trillion dollars each year, he says. “The trustees have been warning Congress and the president that it’s a problem that can’t be ignored.”

If arthritis causes serious damage to the joints, a person may require surgery. Arthritis surgery can help fix or replace a damaged joint, reduce pain, and improve the way the joint functions.
Arthritis is the name for inflammation or swelling of a joint. More than 100 types of arthritis affect the joints, the surrounding tissues, and other connective tissues.
Common treatments for arthritis include anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, occupational therapy, assistive aids, and nonpharmacological therapies.
If standard treatments do not work or the joints become too damaged, arthritis surgery may be necessary.

Buildings 301 and 304 were demolished in 2008. The USPFO facility is currently occupied by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, formerly State Civil Defense.

The investment industry is famous for focusing on “return on investment,” but when it comes to your retirement nest egg, there’s more to consider than simply saving money and earning a return on investments.
This singular focus has a significant flaw, because I believe anything that saves money or helps you squeeze the most enjoyment possible out of your time can be viewed as a return on investment during retirement.
