His symptoms were shuffling of feet, slurred speech, low volume speech, degradation of handwriting, horrible driving skills, and his right arm is held at 45 degree angle. He was placed on Sinemet for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, he has to quit his meds due to side effects. Our care provider introduced us to Aknni Herbs Centre Parkinson’s herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle. My husband has recovered significantly!

Comment on Whitehall calls for increase in traditional-building methods training by Katherine Bhana https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/skills/whitehall-calls-for-increase-in-traditional-building-methods-training-04-01-2024/#comment-2032 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 09:46:15 +0000 https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/?p=492059#comment-2032 My Husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s when he was 62 years old 2 years ago. The Levodopa did very little to help him. The medical team did even less. His decline was rapid and devastating. It was tremors at first, then hallucination. Last year, a family friend told us about Natural Herbs Centre and their successful Parkinson’s Ayurveda TREATMENT, we visited their website naturalherbscentre. com and ordered their Parkinson’s Ayurveda protocol, i am happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed his Parkinson’s disease, most of his symptoms stopped, he’s able to walk again, sleep well and exercise regularly.he’s  active now, I can personally vouch for  these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you

P2P lenders could also be involved as they lend on more build methods and have more flexibility than traditional rigid lending. The key is opening up the lending market here

Comment on Hybrid working is delaying projects, says infrastructure boss by chris.young@tonygee.com https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/government/hybrid-working-is-delaying-projects-says-infrastructure-boss-17-11-2023/#comment-2023 Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:45:48 +0000 https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/?p=489753#comment-2023 This seems an extremely outdated and archaic view to me, and certainly does not chime with our experience of design programmes. A well managed and appropriate hybrid system does not need to reduce productivity, quite the opposite. I totally agree that good projects are built around good collaborative teams but there is nothing to say that those teams need to be in the same physical space all the time.
Some tasks are performed more efficiently in a quite space with fewer distractions, remote working can also increase the available working time with reduction in travel between meetings, and can reduced carbon outputs for the same reasons. No body is saying that we should work remotely ALL the time but I would be amazed to see any of us, returning to work in office locations all the time, that simply ignores the many benefits of a good flexible, agile hybrid working approach. It is old fashioned and not fit for purpose in an age of decent digital communication and collaboration.
So I would say if your hybrid teams are slowing you down, then you have not got your hybrid systems working correctly, get a new designer!!
