What happens if i dont get treated?
The human body has an incredible ability to adapt. This can be a good and bad thing. When a scoliosis is present, pain may only be present for a few weeks or months and may go away. This does not mean you're not injured anymore. What it means is that your body has edited the pain signals and bio-mechanics of your movement to compensate for the injury. This can lead to other areas of the body bearing the stress of injury and can lead to pain and degeneration of the joints in the future.

Can a female get pregnant if the male does not have a condom on..but the male pulls out befor he ejaculates???
Yes, but there still is precum. A guy can't tell when he releases it, and it contains sperm.
STD's can also be a result of not wearing protection.
The best thing to do is wear a condom, or if you're not afraid of STDs, make sure she's taking birth control..
Men preduce pre-ejaculate which men can't feel coming out. It comes out before a guy cums and this can still get a girl pregnant as it contains sperm.
This is why the pull out method isn't as effective as one might think.
Always use protection.
Theres always a chance that when he pulls out, he ejaculates a bit inside her or she may get pregnant from the pre cum.
When having sex, and pregnancy is not wanted, protection should ALWAYS be used.
Yes, she can still get pregnant.
50 million sperm are released in one ejaculation.
You really should use a condom.
but the male did not eject in female.pulled out on time and ejected out of the female.
Yaah , she might get pregnant from the 'pre-cum' so use pretoction .

Unlike most of the barrels shown all over the internet or even at your local nursery, these are from genuine used oak wine barrels. This unique and ultra rustic chic planter barrel can be used in the garden or in the house as an end table. Roughly, it sits 28" wide by 18" tall. They are cut in two from an authentic used wine barrel and unlike typical box store half barrels, we sand the edges, which in-turn makes them cleaner-looking and easier to handle - even if they are a bit more worn than our regular half barrels. Pictured rustic barrels are a close example but may not be the exact same barrel; as every used wine barrel is different from one another, including smells, shades of gray, tan, rust and other aged patina. No returns.

A new path for
At Ivy House, we provide transformational personal and professional development at a time when it is most needed.
The world is changing and we have to better prepare our brightest talent to succeed in the future. That's why we're on a mission to change how we develop our future leaders.
We offer emerging talent development programmes that create extraordinary leaders – the kind of leaders people actually want to follow and pioneers who are equipped to lead us all into a better future.
Whether you're looking to support your brightest students, most talented graduates or emerging leaders, our programmes don't just nurture your brightest people, they will transform your results and build leaders who have the ability to change the world.
For corporates
and Personal
In-House from Ivy House
If you prefer to run the programme internally, we'll work with you to understand exactly how to meet your needs. This may mean changing the way the masterclasses are delivered, spreading the journey out over a longer period of time or adding job-shadowing and context coaching opportunities. Whatever your preferences, we'll make sure your emerging leaders benefit from the Ivy House approach in a way that delivers extraordinary results for both your people and your business.
The Ivy House Programme
The external Ivy House Programme brings together high-performing individuals from a range of leading organisations to learn and develop together. It combines a series of intensive two-day masterclasses with 1:1 performance coaching and sessions with senior mentors. It delivers learning that not only adds lasting value to the individual but that rapidly impacts on the wider business.
For Schools
Getting it right from the start
The Ivy House Award
The Ivy House Award brings life-changing personal and professional development to schools. Designed specifically for sixth formers at this critical stage of their life, the Award will give them the clairty and confidence tbey need to step up and lead in all aspects of life – ensuring they thrive in the classroom and beyond.
For everyone
Inspiring tomorrow's leaders
Keynote talks
Our founder, Elke Edwards, bring the Ivy House mission to life with keynotes tailored to audiences as diverse as senior corporate leaders, teachers, pupils and parents in schools. Her frank and uplifting energy is instrumental in inspiring corporates and schools to think differently about how they develop the next generations to first lead themselves and then others.
"You have the power to change how the world is led. When do you want to start?"
Founder and Creative Director, Ivy House
Ivy House Scholarships
for Everyone
It's all too obvious right now that our leaders are being drawn from a very small pool. If we want our future leaders to have the diversity needed to create real change, we need to make Ivy House's world-class learning available to people from a whole range of backgrounds and sectors – people who wouldn't normally get access to this kind of learning. That's where our scholarships come in.
We are always on the lookout for people willing to help fund an Ivy House scholarship – for either our Programme or The Award – and we also want to hear from self-motivated people who want to benefit from a scholarship.

Pullups are one of the best bodyweight exercises that you can do to build a bigger back at home or at the gym.
The problem is, the exercise can be very difficult to do many reps even for the most seasoned lifters. In this video, I show you the real reason why you can't do pullups and it actually doesn't have to do with your biceps not helping as much as they do on the chinup.
The pullup is an exercise that works your back but happens to require a heavy involvement from the arms to do so. Most back exercises are similar in this regard. That said, when attempting to lift your own bodyweight against gravity, it becomes increasingly challenging.
You may find however that by simply flipping your hands underhand that you can do way more chinups than you could of the overhand pullup variation.
There is a good reason for this. In the pullup, your forearms (specifically your brachioradialis muscle) is required to contribute much more than it is in the chinup. This muscle, if not trained enough, can become your weak link in performing more reps of the pullup exercise.
The brachioradialis is most active when the forearm is pronated when the elbow is flexed. If you think of the position of the arm during a pullup you will quickly realize that this is the exact position that you are in.
In order to get better at doing pullups you will undoubtedly have to have more strength in your brachioradialis muscle. The best way to do this is with hammer curls, zottman curls, or reverse forearm curls.
Each of these flex the elbow with the elbow in either a pronated or neutral position. If you are just starting out and don't have good strength to do any of these variations however, you can curl the dumbbells up with a supinated grip to maximize the biceps and then rotate to a pronated position and lower (as in the zottman curl).
Slowly build up your strength in these forearm exercises and you will find that your pullups will improve. Even if you can't do one pullup right now, you can start to increase the number that you can do by working on this little worked arm and forearm muscle.
The best way to do this is by including movements into your normal biceps or arms workout so you don't have to do added days or volume.

I'm in Germany.
This is weird, because its been one of my life goals to reach this place and just take it in. The first thing I noticed about Berlin when I stepped out of the train station to find my hostel was Graffiti. It was everywhere. Not just that, the place was deathly quiet.
This was intimidating for a few seconds. After all, this is Berlin, a place pretty much destroyed by the ravages of war a few decades ago. The place has that stamp. Many buildings are covered with overgrown weeds, huge bushes dot the landscape and the area has a sense of being lived in through the good and the bad. I can't properly describe it yet, but I feel like I'm walking through a real live version of a first-person shooter. In the distance, is a HUGE spire of some sort with blinking lights. Everywhere I walk to, I see it, almost as if its watching me. If fact, I feel watched. This area I am in is so quiet.
There is no music playing in any apartments. I hear no music in any cars. There is nothing to indicate that people are living around here, save the few people I see sitting in a park, or walking quietly on the road. The people seem to be very quiet as well, very reserved. I've seen a few teenagers traipsing about, talking in rapid German in playgrounds and sitting by the remnants of an old swimming pool. It's a weird transition from the beach laden confines of Cannes France.
Here, I've stepped into a world that truly isn't my own. I feel like a "citizen", a member of a massive state governed by a quiet, firmly ruling hand. I think I've seen too many war movies, and heard too many things about Germany through the lens of modern media to have a proper grasp of all things Berlin, but that's what I feel right now. I'm sitting by a window in my hostel, and there is nothing that greets me, save an eerie silence that covers everything like a heavy blanket.
Maybe this is how people live in this part of town. Maybe I'm just in the quiet section. In a bit, I'm going to try and head to Waurscherstralle, a district that has a few bars and clubs. A place I can probably listen to some music, or grab a drink. It's a bit scary to do this. After all, I am on my own and I don't want to get lost in one of the biggest cities on Earth.
This place is flat…flat …FLAT.
We'll see how it goes. The hostel is really nice on the inside. It feels like a first rate dorm, and has a gorgeous lobby with brand new tiles and a recreation area. But on the left side of the building, a huge outcropping of weeds dominates most of the building. School buildings, tables, and almost every apartment building in the area has graffiti on it. Yet, residents walk around nicely dressed, oblivious to the artistic mayhem. I know its because I'm a foreigner that I'm even noticing these things. Pretty soon, I'll forget the smeared walls.
But the images are powerful; a open air table tennis table scorched with graffiti. An old couple walking through a small street with images twenty feet high on either side of the buildings beside them. A woman in bright pink leggings walking quickly through the underpass of a bridge. Powerful images. I'm a little upset because my connector for my d40 dissappeared. This is a place that warrants thousands of pictures. But alas, I have to measure my photographer's instinct.
Here's to Berlin. Day one.

EURUSD might be forming a cycle bottom at 1.3435 level on daily chart. Range trading between 1.3435 and 1.3838 is expected next week. Resistance is at the falling trend line from 1.5144 to 1.4579, key resistance is at 1.3838. As long as 1.3838 resistance holds, one more fall to 1.3300-1.3400 area is possible. However, above 1.3838 could indicate that the fall from 1.5144 has completed at 1.3435 already, then the following uptrend could bring price to 1.4500 area.
For long term analysis, EURUSD has formed a cycle top at 1.5144 level on weekly chart. Fall towards 1.3000 area to reach next cycle bottom is possible in next several weeks.

IndyCar's asking price for a new series sponsor is $30 million, according to the Indiana Business Journal. That would triple the amount the series is believed to receive from Verizon, which will conclude its IndyCar Series sponsorship at the end of the 2018 season but will remain in the sport as a sponsor for Team Penske and its driver, 2014 series champion Will Power.
The IBJ cited a source close to IndyCar that would like a new sponsor willing to pay $10 million to $15 million in cash and another $10 million to $15 million to advertise and promote the series per year.
Hulman & Company CEO Mark Miles told Autoweek in an earlier interview that he believes the time is right for IndyCar to increase is "footprint" in the sporting landscape after several successful seasons of growth.
"It starts with a great history and the allure of open wheel racing, especially in this country," Miles told Autoweek. "To be candid about our history, there was a period not so long ago of instability and lack of alignment between the Hulman Company and IndyCar and some of the sponsors and suppliers. People trust our organization now and our leadership and understand our interests and efforts are aligned with the major stakeholders.
"We've always believed if we could get out of our own way there is so much to offer the fans that IndyCar racing can grow, and I think that is proving to be true."
Miles, the overall head of IndyCar, remains optimistic the series will find a new sponsor and gain an increase in entitlement sponsor revenue beginning in 2019. Miles and his IndyCar staff are also attempting to attract a new television partner. Miles hopes to have a TV/media deal firmed up in the next month, and IndyCar officials envision the new media/TV partner (or partners) helping them sell the title sponsorship.

President Buhari says it is very dishonest for anyone to accuse him of not doing anything about the various killings recorded in different parts of the country. President Buhari said this when he received a delegation of Catholic Bishops in the state house Abuja yesterday February 8th. President Buhari said the impression that he sits in his air-conditioned office enjoying himself while the killings is happening is totally untrue.
"The impression created that I was sitting in an air-conditioned office and home enjoying myself while these things happened is dishonest. At every step, I have tried to foresee these problems because I have the experience as a former military officer who commanded three out of the four divisions of the Nigerian Army, in Lagos, Ibadan and Jos. I am quite aware of the problems we have and I am doing my best to get the law enforcement agencies to be on the alert."
The President told the Catholic Bishops that he would not be tired of recounting remarkable progress recorded in the areas of security, economy and the fight against corruption.
''We have done very well on security in the North East, when you compare what the condition was before we came in and what it is now. On the economy, particularly agriculture, I am very pleased that God answered the prayers of Nigerians who prayed for bountiful harvest. People have taken advantage of Federal Government policies and programmes to return to the farm and they have not regretted,'' he said.
On the fight against corruption, the President reiterated that government would be guided by the law in the investigation and prosecution of all graft-related cases.
''People are being prosecuted systematically with evidence. If a permanent secretary has five houses in Abuja, two in Kaduna and one in Borno and Sokoto and he can't account for the properties and there are bank transactions linking him to the properties, the prosecuting agencies will not have difficulties to make progress on the case."
On the question of Federal character, the President declared that no ethnic group or political zone has been deliberately marginalised in the appointments made so far.
He, however, added that he would take a second look at areas on which issues have been raised, when a compendium of all government appointments is submitted to him.

FORGET George Balanchine. Never mind Frederick Ashton. The dance luminary whose centennial year will be celebrated tonight at Town Hall is Helen Gould Beck of Elkton, Mo.
Doesn't ring a bell? That's because she went down in history as Sally Rand, the woman who made fan dancing wholesome. Almost.
The tribute, called ''Fans,'' includes Bebe Neuwirth and Marge Champion paying homage and Barbara Bruno and Caitlin Carter performing Rand's signature numbers. (The evening benefits Animal Haven, a Queens-based pet shelter.)
Ms. Champion was 13 when she was taken to the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, where Rand's show caused a sensation. Wearing only her high heels, her modesty preserved by fluttering ostrich plumes, she danced to Chopin and Debussy.
''She had a beautiful figure, and she carried these huge white fans,'' Ms. Champion recalled. ''At that age, I was very wound up in ballet technique. I was quite critical. But I don't remember being disturbed by her dancing. I was just enthralled.''
She was not alone. Rand's fan dance -- all eight minutes of it -- attracted so many paying customers that it was credited with saving the fair from bankruptcy. She added a bubble dance, in which the fans were replaced by a five-foot translucent balloon, the next year. What with multiple arrests for indecency and command performances before judges, Rand found herself a celebrity, a status she perpetuated for the next several decades.
Near the end, she was more a curiosity than a star. (A 1972 article in The Village Voice was headlined ''What Do You Say to a Naked 68-Year-Old Lady?'') By then, the seven-foot fans she'd started out with had shrunk to four feet, a concession to changing standards of naughtiness and the weight of the feathers. But the dance stayed the same, whether she did it at a state fair (where one day she performed 26 times to the tune of $14,000, she said) or in a nostalgia variety show.
Legend had it that Rand, who died in 1979, was nude behind her fans. Ms. Champion says she saw Rand dance in a very sheer leotard. Nude or not, Rand always objected to being called a stripper, or even an exotic dancer. She didn't gyrate; she wasn't lewd; and, she claimed, the fans only appeared to reveal all. Her motto was ''The Rand is quicker than the eye.''

Maxville under fraud scandal
The world's most-attended piping and drumming competition was at the centre of controversy when an associate of its organizational team was investigated for financial impropriety. The Glengarry Highland Games, thankfully, is on solid ground, and the development perhaps served to remind associations and pipe band organizations of the need to maintain sound financial safeguards. The 2018 rendition of the contest went on with its usual high attendance, the scandal seemingly in its past.

The perfect place for tummy time, nappy-free time and practising their sweet little shuffle, play mats are a must-have item for babies on the move. No longer a gaudy item mums keep tucked away from the rest of the house, modern play mats are a thing of beauty, with chic prints and subtle style reigning supreme.
Whether it's a playful addition to the playroom or a luxe new look for the living room floor, there's a play mat to suit every taste and space.
What to look for when buying a play mat
Here are some key features to consider when buying a play mat:
Cushioning: Play mats are just that – a mat for baby to play the day away. To ensure little ones are comfortable investigating their new terrain, look for a play mat that has ample cushioning for their tiny limbs and delicate skin.
Durability: Just like the carpet, floorboards and rugs, play mats are prone to a lot of wear and tear over the years. Pick a play mat that is sturdy enough to withstand the crawling, toddling and stamping of twinkle toes big and small.
Washability: Despite being made for play, anything made for baby is sure to encounter vegemite smears and cracker crumbs in its lifespan. Having a mat that washes well means it can be back on the floor (protecting the real floor underneath) in a jiffy.
Waterproof: A waterproof play ensures playtime is fun and easy for everyone involved – A must for any mum wanting to use their play mat for nappy-free time with a wriggling water fountain.
Size: Think about where the play mat will 'live' when choosing the size. If in an open space like the living room, there's a bit of wriggle room for larger mats. But if babe's play mat is destined for the nursery, think about the other furniture as well as toys and day-to-day baby mess before getting something too big for the room.

Practice Math Questions for Praxis: Order of Operations
Acronyms are wonderful things—especially when it comes to remembering order of operations. In fact, the acronym GEMDAS will definitely serve you well when you take the Praxis Core exam.
GEMDAS (Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction) is equivalent to PEMDAS. The only difference is that P stands for parentheses instead of grouping.
The following practice questions will test your ability to apply GEMDAS in order to solve different expressions. (Hint: for the first question, remember that a fraction bar separates the numerator and denominator into two groups!)
Practice questions
Answers and explanations
- The correct answer is Choice (B).
Follow the order of operations by using GEMDAS. Keep in mind that a fraction bar is a grouping symbol. It groups the numerator and also groups the denominator.
- The correct answer is Choice (C).
You can use your calculator for this problem, putting fractions in parentheses and using the division sign in place of a fraction bar. Otherwise, follow the order of operations by using GEMDAS:

Our freight agents have applied for and received AEO status. Our Directors are questioning why the company should apply for AEO status if we have already been approved as a "Known Shipper" and our agents have AEO status. What is your feeling? Should we apply for AEO status and what are the benefits over "Known Shipper" validation?

Today, many people in the world observe various seasonal celebrations during the month of December. On the other end, in our busy world, we have forgotten to honor the cycles of nature, and our celebrations have become less about meaning and more about material concerns –creating holidays that can be both stressful and laden with unrealistic expectations.
Whether or not you follow a traditional religious observance such as Christmas, Hanukkah, or Winter Solstice, this time of the year has close ties with the laws and cycles of our solar and planetary system. We human beings are intrinsically interconnected with the Earth; we are an integral part of solar and planetary activity that affects us in visible or invisible ways. Heaven and Earth touch every aspect of our life.
The winter cycle is upon us now. On December 21 at 7.30 pm HST marks the Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year. The sun begins anew its journey toward longer day of new growth and renewal. Celebrating the natural rhythm of life can help us feel more connected to the wisdom of nature, to Mother Earth, and to our ancestors. As nature retreats back to herself in winter, we too can find some quiet restful and reflecting time and perhaps surrender to our own inner light that guides us through the dark times like a beacon to remind us what is important.
I personally enjoy and celebrate seasonal natural cycles of life such as Winter Solstice. In ancient cultures Winter Solstice was a time of great celebration, for it meant the turning point of winter and the eventual return of spring. It is a time of balance and change. This celebration has been associated with the return of the Sun, hope, rebirth, renewal of the spirit, and the victory of the light over the darkness.
Reminders of how to Stay Healthy in the Holidays
Taking a holistic approach to caring for yourself this holiday season and throughout the year can really make a difference in your physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.
Love yourself: Identify what is important to you. Keep reminding yourself of it when facing a challenging situation. Develop or commit to a practice that connects you with the sense of "feeling good", a place of refuge that can sustain you through hard times. Winter time is an excellent time to travel within, to nourish yourself, to reflect on the qualities of being you want to grow into, and a time to birth your dreams.
Deeper Connections: The holidays give many of us an opportunity to reconnect with loved ones, old friends, and community. It can give us the opportunity to deepen the sacred relationship with Mother Earth, and to bring meaning through understanding.
Take the focus off food: Instead of an indoor party with platters of treats, host an outdoor activity. Eat light, fruits and vegetables of the season. Eat warm and healthy, local food before you go to parties.
Get plenty of physical activity: When your schedule gets hectic, get creative. Jump rope during TV commercials, dance in the kitchen or take a brisk walk. Yoga, Tai Chi or Qi Gong are also great stress relievers.
Get quality rest: In acupuncture theory during the winter months, we should be getting more sleep than the rest of the year. Our bodies are meant to change with the seasons as Winter brings fewer hours of sunlight so we adapt accordingly.
Acupuncture treatments: Acupuncture significantly boosts your body's immune system to help protect you against any potential foreign invaders like viruses, bacteria and fungi. Acupuncture is also very effective in relieving stress. Frequent hand washing also helps to keep microbes away.
Patent herbal formulas: Are very effective in treating many types of cold and flu. Yin Qiao San is excellent for predominantly sore throat and early sniffles. Use this formula only for a few days. Gan Mao Ling tablets with symptoms of chills, fever, swollen glands, and stiffness of upper back and neck. Take also Vitamin C and Zinc to boost the immune.
The shared message of Christmas, the Solstice festivals, and Hanukkah, speak of a time to have good friends around, to do acts of simple kindness, share food and warmth, and tell stories around the fire. It is also a time of the year to prepare ourselves to surrender our inner shadows to the womb of winter, and be renewed by the seeds of Light that burn deep inside of us.
The common spirit of the Holy Days is the spirit of the heart, the love, the light that warms the heart and the soul, and allows us to soften, to transform and create new changes in our self, in our life and in our world.
Whatever tradition you chose to celebrate, may your holidays be filled with Light, Joy and Laughter in this most auspicious transformational journey that we call life.

In The Arena
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, … [Read more...]

Beyond the winning and the goal,Beyond the glory and the fame,He feels a flame within his soul,Born of the spirit of the game.

Sioux Falls Mom Speaks Out After Situation in Target Parking Lot
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – A Sioux Falls mom is speaking out after what she says was a "scary situation" in a Target parking lot over the weekend.
She and her two kids are safe now, but Kaley Dykstra says an uncomfortable run-in with a strange man prompted her to warn other moms online.
Kaley Dykstra posted a live video to her Facebook on Friday which now has close to 200,000 views and more than 4,500 shares.
In it, she explains a situation in the Westside Target parking lot that she says made her extremely uncomfortable.
"I don't know what it was about him, but he wasn't there to shop," she said.
The mom of two says she was working to get her kids out of the car when she noticed a man lingering around and acting strange.
She says at one point he "made a beeline" to her car when her daughter was still inside.
"He was definitely close enough to make me uncomfortable, and so I locked the door a bunch of times and he quickly changed directions and before I knew it he was at another vehicle that was also loading or unloading children."
She posted photos of the man online to warn her friends, and hundreds of comments came flooding in.
"There was a friend of mine that said he was maybe at the mall, and then some other people throughout the rest of the comments had seen this guy before, or had similar experiences."
After that response, she realized she should contact the police but by the time an officer received the report, it was too late for police to try to find the man.
"What we would encourage people to do is if they see something like that, something out of the ordinary, something that makes them think this isn't right, call police right away," said Officer Sam Clemens. "We can track down the person hopefully do something to find them right away and then we can figure out what's going on."
While she still doesn't know what the man's intentions were, Dykstra says she hopes her story reminds other parents to stay vigilant.
