QiTender Acupuncture Deborah L. Godwin Acupuncturist, L.Ac, M.Ac,
Nationally Certified (NCCAOM) Dipl.Ac, C.M.T. Certifie My grounding is in Classical Five Element Acupuncture.

My love and passion for acupuncture began 27 years ago as a patient. That experience so changed my life that I decided to become an acupuncturist. I am a board certified Diplomate of Acupuncture with sixteen years experience in complementary health care. Not only am I an Acupuncturist, I am a lifetime student and teacher of this medicine. As an Acupuncturist my role is to partner with each patient to identify imbalance, restore health, and prevent future disease. Working together we craft treatments that maximizes their own ability to heal and cultivate wellness. Today acupuncture is a cornerstone of preventive health care. It is an ancient medicine used to relieve the stressors of today's hectic lifestyles. This tradition of medicine is a highly individualized system of healing that tends the Body, Mind, Spirit. Each patient, within the context of his or her life, is unique. Treatment is, therefore, highly personalized to meet the specific needs of each patient. Often times treating the patient's emotional landscape has to take place before their healing process can begin.

The woman who made GPS possible has taken her final journey.

Dr. Gladys West died Saturday at 95. She was the mathematician who built the model of Earth that makes GPS work.

She was born on a Virginia farm in 1930, the daughter of sharecroppers. She picked to***co as a child and walked miles to a one-room school. She made herself valedictorian, earned a full scholarship, and stacked degrees in math until the Navy hired her in 1956.

At the Naval Proving Ground, she programmed computers the size of rooms using punch cards and flow charts. She calculated the shape of Earth, the real shape, lumpy and irregular, precise enough that satellites could use it to tell you exactly where you are at any moment. That work became GPS.

She retired after 42 years. Then she had a stroke at 70, recovered, and earned a PhD from Virginia Tech.

For most of her life, no one knew her name. Her work was classified. She didn't even tell her kids. Then a friend asked for a bio in 2017 and the story came out. Hidden figure, finally seen.

She never used GPS herself. Preferred paper maps. "If I can see the road and see where it turns," she said, "I am more sure."

She spent her whole life making sure the rest of us never had to wonder.

Rest in peace, Dr. West.
