WHY IS IT THAT DOCTORS CALL
WHAT THEY DO…’PRACTICE’?
Colin Luther Powell (April 5, 1937 – October 18, 2021)
(Fox News) – Gen. Colin Powell, former secretary of state, died
Monday at 84 years of age from COVID-related complications,
even though he was fully vaccinated, his family announced.
His death, medical experts say, underscores the need for COVID
-19 vaccine booster shots among older adults and high-risk
populations to shore up protection.
Powell was afflicted with other diseases, including Parkinson’s
and the blood cancer multiple myeloma, which could hamper
recovery from COVID-19 infection, according to reports. His
family didn’t specify when Powell received vaccine, or whether
he had taken a booster shot.
The F. W. Woolworth Company (often referred to as Woolworth’s or Woolworth) was a retail company and one of the original pioneers
of the five-and-dime store. It was among the most successful
American and international five-and-dime businesses, setting
trends and creating the modern retail model that stores follow
worldwide today.
The first Woolworth store was opened by Frank Winfield Woolworth
on February 22, 1879, as “Woolworth’s Great Five Cent Store” in
Utica, New York. Though it initially appeared to be successful, the
store soon failed. When Woolworth searched for a new location,
a friend suggested Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Using the sign from
the Utica store, Woolworth opened his first successful “Woolworth’s Great Five Cent Store” on July 18, 1879, in Lancaster. He brought
his brother, Charles Sumner Woolworth, into the business.
The two brothers pioneered and developed merchandising, direct purchasing, sales, and customer service practices commonly
used today.
