Then I realized that I had no money for food. When the friend’s parents turned her away, Jill became homeless. With only $100 in her pocket, Jill hitchhiked to Cincinnati to live with a friend. She was informed that there was no room for her and she would have to find a new place to live. Later, the boyfriend decided that little Jill was an exciting fringe benefit and continued to rape her with her mother’s full knowledge and consent.Īt the end of 9th grade, Jill’s parents moved to a new house. She told him it was a punishment, and to make it hurt. Enraged, her mother offered the boyfriend the opportunity to penetrate her daughter. Jill was raped for the first time at 5 years old when she wandered unknowingly into a bedroom during a sex act between her mother and her mother’s boyfriend. But secrets seethed beneath the family’s respectable exterior. Jill was born in New Hampshire during the '60s, the daughter of a prominent, middle-class family with ties to the local school board. It is a lesson of redemption and courage, second chances and taking chances. ![]() Her story of brutal rape, of slavery, of dungeons, of "50 Shades of Grey" bondage gone horribly awry, was so dark and harrowing that one wondered how she had even survived, much less summoned the strength to stand before us.Īs I came to know her over the years, to enjoy her dry sense of humor, her keen intelligence, her blunt manner of speaking that forces you to take off every mask, I learned the other side of her story too. Standing behind a podium ironically flanked by crosses, the tall redhead delivered a presentation so spellbinding that the audience seemed to breathe and gasp in unison. I met Jill Brenneman in 2011 at a conference for sex workers in Asheville, North Carolina.

These kinds of ereaders are really comfortable to hold and use in one hand, making the likes of the Kobo Libra 2 perfect for the daily commute.

You get tons more storage as the default is 32GB here, something most other mainstream ereaders don't offer.

Shockwave therapy works! However, the studies that have compared radial vs focused SWT have largely concluded that focused shockwave therapy has an advantage. In contrast, focused shock wave therapy delivers the greatest amount of energy into a focused point at a determined depth in the body and penetrates accurately into deep tissue layers (from 5mm to 40mm) where the problem actually is.īoth radial and focussed forms of shockwave therapy have been proven effective. Within a penetration depth of 5-10mm, a practically undetectable dosage impacts the tissue. The maximum effect of radial shock waves is therefore at the surface of the skin, with dissipating levels penetrating into the tissue. The result is the pressure wave first impacts the skin, moving divergently or spreading (not focused) through the body. ![]() Radial shock waves are generated using mechanical energy from a simple mechanical hammer. The key differences of focused shock wave therapy are derived in the way in which it is delivered. * Trigger points can be diagnosed and specifically treated * Independently adjustable penetration depth and intensity setting * Well defined, precise focus – perfect for diagnosis and therapy * Direct focusing piezoelectric technology for minimal pain during treatment There are several important benefits of a focused ESWT using the Piezowave 2 Therapy device: acoustic waves generated by the PiezoWave2 converge at a point deep within the soft tissue to produce an intense, extremely short. It does not.Īs it turns out, the entire research on the effectiveness and mechanisms of shock wave therapy was originally done using focused shockwave technology - the kind of shock wave generated by piezoelectric technology. It’s commonly used to relieve painful conditions such as plantar fasciitis with heel spurs, tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, and arthritis. Until recently I was under the impression that radial shock wave therapy, the technology more commonly used by many other practices, involves the same principle as the focussed shock wave (ESWT) described in the original literature. Piezowave/shockwave therapy is used to treat both acute and chronic pain in the muscles and joints. What's so special about the Piezowave 2 Technology? Contact us to find out more and to schedule your appointment for shockwave therapy in Edison, NJ.The Difference between Radial and Focussed Shockwave Our team of experts at Backsmart Wellness Center will be in close touch with you to personalize your treatment and post-therapy care.

At My Caring Chiro, we partner with the specialists at Injury Care Centers to offer Piezowave Acoustic Compression Therapy at all of our locations in Jacksonville, FL. It has been proven effective for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow and other common injuries.

Gru and the Minions thus take off on parallel tracks, which merely adds to the splintered nature of the story, which is unhelpfully crammed into a less-than-90-minute package. Minions Kevin and Otto, Gru (Steve Carell) and Minions Stuart and Bob in 'Minions: The Rise of Gru.' Universal Pictures “I just need to fly solo on this,” he tells them, bringing tears to their eyes (or eye). Gru thus finds himself caught between the two warring sides, while coming to the conclusion that his loyal sidekicks might not be ready to step up to the big leagues of criminality. They’re introduced via an Indiana Jones-like action sequence in which they acquire a mystical artifact while abruptly jettisoning their ostensible leader, Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin), who vows revenge. The main problem, and structurally speaking it’s a significant one, is that director Kyle Balda and writer Matthew Fogel throw a bunch of different gags against the wall hoping a few will stick, which they do, while seriously neglecting to maintain the plot.īasically, the premise is that near-12-year-old Gru (voiced by Steve Carell, again) is a budding supervillain fanboy, who yearns for an opportunity to join a sinister group known as the Vicious Six. Setting the scene as 1976 (it’s the bicentennial!) as the movie begins, the film features a bountiful array of songs from the period, a touch likely to be mostly lost on the target audience, unless they’re inordinately familiar with disco hits and the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” (Of course, dutiful grandparents who take on the challenge of squiring them will be unexpectedly rewarded with a trip down memory lane.) Loud and colorful, it’s likely to divert smaller kids whose comedic tastes run toward rapid-fire mumbling, pratfalls, the occasional exposed yellow butt and flatulence. Either way, there's a place for the Despicable Me franchise to live on, and you can do it in the order they're intended to be seen.Five years after the last “Despicable Me” movie and a dozen years since the first, “Minions: The Rise of Gru” extends the animated franchise without exactly rising to the occasion, delivering a mundane exercise set to an odd 1970s soundtrack. You can even find some of them on Peacock or Hulu. You can find the full movies on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+. If you're looking for a way to watch the Despicable Me movies in order, you're in luck - they're all available to stream right from the comfort of your home. Despite the franchise starting out with an adult Gru in cahoots with his trusty sidekicks, their world actually start way earlier. Or rather, we need to discuss where and how to watch these movies in order. While we're waiting though, we need to talk about all the various films in the franchise ( which also include Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, Despicable Me 3 and Minions). And with that, the franchise only keeps getting bigger, with the recent release of Minions: The Rise of Gru and the upcoming July 2024 sequel Despicable Me 4. But these days, it looks like a particular series stands out among the crowd: the Despicable Me movies.Įver since the first Despicable Me debuted in 2010, fans of all ages can't seem to get enough of evil villain Gru ( Steve Carell), his daughters, his wife Lucy Wilde ( Kristen Wiig) and his trusty minions. Maybe you're considering something from Marvel or even a childhood favorite from Disney. When it comes to finding the perfect film to watch with the kids, there are a lot of options. |
