HELPING YOUR BODY TO HEAL

Whenever an individual gets seriously ill or becomes injured, they may seek emergency care, or receive immediate life-sustaining treatment. Later on at some point in the future, they are left to take care of themselves to finalize that healing process.
At the time these patients are discharged from their medical treatment, they have gradually shifted into a zone where they may no longer be sick, but are still not as healthy as they were before they became ill. This zone, between illness and good health, is where rehabilitation specialists focus.
BRONXDALE TRIPPLE SHOOTING

Bronx Borough President Diaz says he is deeply disappointed and saddened by last night’s triple shooting at the Astor Deli Grocery, where three innocent bystanders--including two young girls--fell victims to gun violence.
He considers these acts of violence unacceptable that, despite the efforts of the police department, district attorney and others to take as many illegal guns off our streets as possible, these senseless acts of gun violence continue to infest our borough.

Deconstructing the Beatles @ THE PICTURE HOUSE
Images
For most, enjoying Beatles music has long been a popular past time for several generations. Deconstructing their albums takes that experience to a much higher level. Last night's lecture was titled "Looking Through A Glass Onion".
Instructor Scott Freiman is a composer, arranger, producer, a sound editor and the brainchild behind deconstructing The Beatles. He utilizes isolated tracks and rare video footage of Beatles' anecdotes about their historic recording sessions. Scott's lectures analyze production techniques used in recording Beatles popular compositions.
