Diy News Bulletin

For cleaning up after DIY, there's a great new product from Black & Decker - the Steam Mop.

Campbell's physicians will be trained in osteopathic medicine and have D.O., doctor of osteopathy, after their names rather than M.D., doctor of medicine. Like M.D.s, they will get four years of medical school, followed by three or more years of residency training. Their credentials will be accepted in all states, and they'll be licensed by the N.C. Medical Board and become side-by-side members with M.D.s in the North Carolina Medical Society and North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians. Osteopaths are common in the military. In some states, including Michigan and Oklahoma, one doctor in four is a D.O.The cleaning's done by a washable microfibre pad, which attaches to the mop's 180-degree swivel head. The head makes it easy to manoeuvre the pad around the room and under furniture, and there's a very long power lead, so you're not restricted. The mop can be used on stone and ceramic tiles, vinyl, wooden flooring, laminate and carpet (there's a special attachment for this), and finding the right setting for your flooring is a doddle, thanks to the illustrated Autoselect dial.The Black & Decker Steam Mop costs pounds 79.99 from Currys, Comet, Argos, B&Q and Amazon. See www.blackanddecker.co.uk for more information.In a small conference room at Campbell the next day, John Kaufmann, an osteopathic physician who is the medical school's founding dean, retraces the period. He describes how Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathic medicine, was born in a log cabin in western Virginia in 1828. His father was a minister and doctor, and, like him, Still became an M.D. His own dead children, he believed, had been failed by the kind of primitive medicine the Cape Fear's boatmen would have experienced. He drew the battle lines between osteopathic and allopathic - conventional - medicine.
