CHICAGO , Dec. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of nearly 200,000 osteopathic physicians (DOs) and medical students in the U.S., more than 20 states and cities across the nation are observing December 2024 as Osteopathic Medicine Month. This designation recognizes the 150 th anniversary of osteopathic medicine, which applies a distinctive philosophy and approach to caring for patients in all areas of medicine, including primary care, surgery and specialty fields. DOs are fully licensed physicians who are trained to provide comprehensive care with a focus on preventive medicine and whole-person wellness. DOs hold some of the most distinguished positions in medicine today, caring for the U.S. President, overseeing the NASA medical team and leading some of the nation's top-ranked hospitals and health systems. The profession is one of the fastest-growing in health care, making up more than 10% of physicians and 28% of medical students in the U.S. Earlier this month, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a congratulatory letter to the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, recognizing the osteopathic profession's tremendous contributions to health care during the past 150 years. "As you celebrate this milestone anniversary, it is my hope that you are filled with pride in all the progress the osteopathic medical community has achieved—from pioneering medical discoveries to improving the health and well-being of Americans across the nation and so much more," the letter states. To date, more than 20 state and city leaders have issued proclamations declaring December 2024 as Osteopathic Medicine Month, including Alabama , Idaho , Illinois , Iowa , Michigan , Montana , Ohio , Oklahoma , Virginia , and West Virginia . "This remarkable achievement not only honors the rich history of our profession but also highlights the profound role of osteopathic medicine in health care today," said American Osteopathic Association President Teresa A. Hubka , DO, FACOOG (Dist). "Through patient-centered care and a commitment to understanding the root causes of illness, osteopathic physicians are shaping the future of medicine."

NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK: HYATT CENTRIC SOUTH BEACH MIAMI DEBUTS ELEVATED STYLE AND LUXURY
Andretti's Formula 1 dream comes to bittersweet fruition without his involvementPresident-elect Donald Trump is threatening to impose steep tariffs on America's biggest trading partners unless they do more to stop the flow of illegal drugs and immigrants. In social media posts Monday, Trump vowed to impose a 25% tax on all imports from Mexico and Canada, along with an additional 10% tax on imports from China , as one of his first orders on taking office. If he makes good on the threat, the impact would be felt in the U.S. too — from the supermarket to the car dealership. Here are three things to know about Trump's tariff proposal. Tariffs may be targeted at others — but Americans would also feel the impact President-elect's tariffs are intended to try to pressure Canada and Mexico on border policy — as well as to hit China economically. "It's time for them to pay a very big price," the president-elect wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. But critics say if the threatened tariffs take effect, it's U.S. customers and businesses that would end up footing the bill. In just one high-profile example, the tariffs would raise the price of avocados less than three weeks before the Super Bowl — one of the biggest guacamole-eating days of the year. Shoppers would see higher prices throughout the produce department, since Mexico and Canada supply 32% of the fresh fruit and 34% of the fresh vegetables sold in the U.S. "One of President-elect Trump's signature pledges during the campaign was to tamp down inflation and to reduce prices at the grocery store," says Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, an importers trade group. "You would see an immediate spike [in prices] at the grocery store. You would see restaurants changing their menus so they could reduce the amount of produce that goes into their plates, or raising prices." Trump's proposed tariff would also likely increase gasoline prices — especially in the Midwest, where Canada supplies much of the crude oil used in U.S. refineries. American companies could suffer too It wouldn't just be American consumers feeling the impact. Businesses that operate across borders would suffer as well. "I don't think people quite grasp just how integrated the North American supply chain is," says Scott Lincicome, a trade expert a the libertarian CATO Institute. A key example is the U.S. auto industry, which has grown up under the North American Free Trade Agreement and the successor treaty that Trump signed in 2020. "These days, certain automotive parts like a car seat can travel across international borders five or six times before finally ending up in a made-in-America automobile," he adds. "That type of seamless trade would be utterly jeopardized by a 25% tariff, thus harming a lot of American manufacturers and manufacturing workers." But will Trump actually follow through? That's still unclear Under the law, the president has broad authority to impose tariffs. And Trump did slap taxes on many imports during his first term in the White House, typically after going through a lengthy review by the Commerce Department or by the U.S. Trade Representative. But Trump also threatened to impose many more tariffs than he actually did. "Donald Trump was willing to tweet out tariff threats, usually in the evening, after watching Fox news, and those tweets typically didn't come to much of anything," Lincicome says. The muted reaction in financial markets Tuesday suggests many investors are discounting the likelihood that the threatened tariffs will take effect. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's already spoken to Trump by telephone. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum sent a letter to the president-elect. Both foreign leaders have called for cooperation and dialogue. Whether that results in any meaningful drop in the volume of drugs or immigrants crossing the border remains to be seen. A spokesman for China's government cautioned, "No one will win in a trade war." But China may already be winning this first round. The additional 10% tariff on imports from China that Trump threatened Monday is a fraction of the 60% levy he called for during the campaign.
Oranga Tamariki senior executives are due to speak about 12.15pm. We will be livestreaming the stand-up at the top of this page. A second young person is on the run from the government's trial boot camp, after one vanished while at the funeral of another participant , Oranga Tamariki senior executives have told a parliamentary committee. On Thursday it was reported that one of the young men taking part in the boot camp pilot was on the run after attending the funeral of another who had died. Those taking part in the pilot were released from the youth justice facility in Palmerston North in October, and have been in the community phase of the boot camp programme. Oranga Tamariki deputy chief executive of youth justice services and residential care Tusha Penny told a parliamentary select committee on Friday morning that two participants were actually on the run. One escaped from the tangi and another a day later, she said. Penny acknowledged the death of one of the boot camp's participants and their whānau. Speaking to MPs, Penny said the whānau of the teenager who has died was dealing with having to bury a son and brother, and that needed to be acknowledged first and foremost. "We sat here probably a year ago now and said transition is going to be tough, because it's evidenced up the wazoo and everyday people are fighting. The recidivism rates we have every week going into the youth justice residences are around 60 to 80 percent. "So I want to put that out there, because we need the reality." Penny says she was not going to give up, despite how tough it is, and everyone in the programme has had traumatic experiences. "Right now, two of the remaining nine rangatahi have absconded - one absconded from the tangi and one absconded a day later. "It's been tough, we've had two of the young people arrested on charges already, one of those people the charges were withdrawn," she said. "Do I think there will be further offending? Absolutely. "We also though have to look for the good cholestreol, because there's always some good. "We have one of our people in fulltime employment today, I say today because this is dynamic," Penny told MPs. "We have one of our young people on work experience, we have one likely to start work soon, we have six engaged in some education course." National MP Joseph Mooney, who chairs the social services committee, has worked as a youth advocate and criminal lawyer and got emotional talking to Penny about how tough it is to try and change young people's lives. Penny said the boot camps have been "incredibly politicised" but the programme was making change despite the whole thing not always "being successful". "I'm not saying this is the panacea, I'm not saying it's the answer, but I'm definitely saying what we're seeing could be an improvement for youth justice across the board with an operating model." Oranga Tamariki and Waikato police both confirmed the 15-year-old, who was granted bail on compassionate grounds to attend the funeral by the Youth Court, had absconded. Waikato police said he was wanted for arrest.

The federal government announced earlier this year that it will be issuing approximately 300,000 fewer international student permits over the next three years. Related: Morrison’s statement said enrolment projections show the school will have about 30 per cent fewer students in the coming years, leading to a loss of approximately $112 million in revenue in the next fiscal year. She said they started by reducing administrative roles and trying to find efficiencies, but now program suspensions are unavoidable. As a result, they will be contracting by about 25 to 30 per cent. “Sheridan will look different, but our commitment to learning, discovery and engagement remains the same.” The programs affected have not yet been announced by the college. Sheridan currently has 40,000 students enrolled across three campuses in Brampton, Mississauga and Oakville. The international student cap is expected to primarily affect Ontario as it had seen a larger share of growth in foreign students. Ottawa has also announced it would be limiting international college students’ work permits after graduation to areas that have labour-market shortages in Canada. Several other colleges and universities have announced job cuts amid growing deficits including St. Lawrence College in Kingston and Mohawk College in Hamilton. Seneca Polytechnic, meanwhile, will be temporarily shuttering one of its campuses north of Toronto by the end of the fall semester. The Ministry of Colleges and Universities, in response to Sheridan’s decision, said funding for post-secondary institutions is higher than it’s ever been, adding they invested $1.3 billion earlier this year to stabilize the sector. “Staffing decisions and human resource matters lie solely with the institutions. We’ll continue to support the post-secondary sector for their long-term success and sustainability to ensure students can get good-paying, in-demand jobs once they graduate. However, we will not put additional costs on the backs of students and families by raising tuition.” Colleges Ontario said at the time the measures by the federal government were introduced that they will have “potentially long-lasting negative repercussions” for many of the 24 public colleges, possibly forcing some to close their doors.

Why don’t we know much about periods, menopause and heart disease in women? A gender gap exists in healthcareA local driver seems to not be worried about driving without insurance. Vancouver police pulled over a Tesla on Nov. 21, 2024, for driving without insurance. It wasn't the first time for this driver this year, according to a social media post by the VPD's traffic section. Or the second. Or the third. In the last year, the driver had been pulled over four times across Metro Vancouver, with incidents in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Coquitlam. Police note he was operating as a rideshare driver at the time he was pulled over. In fact, according to a photo shared by the police, it was the fourth time since May, meaning he's been pulled over more than once every two months for the same issue. "Traffic enforcement used ALPR (Automated Licence Plate Recognition) to catch this driver for no vehicle insurance," state police. Officers issued a $598 for the infraction, and the vehicle was towed. If the driver pays in under 30 days, the fine is reduced to $573; altogether, the fines for driving with no insurance four times add up to at least $2,292. However, while it was the fourth such infraction for the driver this year, his Tesla wasn't impounded, according to the VPD traffic section. "A vehicle with no insurance could be towed to a person’s residence if it can’t be parked on public property," Sgt. Steve Addison tells V.I.A. A note has been sent to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles and Passengers about the driver, according to the traffic section. The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles and Passengers is a provincial office that acts as the authority for drivers in B.C. and has different powers from the police and can prohibit a person from driving if they have an "unsatisfactory driving record," according to the government .
