Scheuermann ’ s Disease ( also known as juvenile kyphosis ) is characterized by uneven growth in the vertebrae , causing them to form a wedge shape . Typical spines have natural curves of 20 to 40 degrees . People with steeper curves — from 40 to 45 degrees — are said to suffer from kyphosis . Scheuermann ’ s Disease takes kyphosis to the extreme : sufferers have spinal curvatures of up to 75 degrees .

PEOPLES REMINDS CUSTOMERS TO CHECK I . D .
Peoples Natural Gas is reminding customers to always ask for identification when considering allowing a serviceperson or utility representative into your home or business . Peoples requires all of its customer service employees to wear photo identification .
All Peoples employees carry an ID card with name , photo and Peoples logo . Also , look for a vehicle with the Peoples logo . Please call Peoples Customer Service at 1.800.764.0111 for questions or concerns , or to confirm an employee ’ s identity .
The following tips on how to answer your door safely come from Carewatch UK :
• Legitimate company representatives usually pre-arrange an appointment and will carry photographic identification .
• Always ask to see identification before you open the door , and never be afraid to ask the person to wait while you call to check before letting someone in .
• Never use a telephone number provided by the person at your door — it could connect to an accomplice . Always look up the number yourself . If you are unable to do this , don ’ t let him / her in .
