Causes of Back Pain
The back is a very complex part of the body where bone, ligaments, joints, tendons, muscles and nerves all are intertwined together and constantly subject to the stresses placed on them. It's no wonder that most people will experience some level of back pain at one time in their lives or another.
Doctors' lump back pain causes into two main categories based on age:
- Back pain problems in those aged 30 to 60 years old tend to be the result of conditions such as disc degeneration, muscle strains and soft tissue problems.
- People 60 years and up tend to suffer more from joint degeneration, osteoarthritis or from compression fractures.
Although these back pain causes have been categorized by the predominant age they happen, it must be noted that any of these can happen at any age.
Here are some of the major causes of back pain in people 30 to 60 years old:
Back Muscle Strain – results in microscopic tears in the muscle.
Symptoms Include:
- Muscle spasms
- Difficulty walking or standing
- Pain that travels throughout your thigh, groin or buttocks but rarely occurs below the knee
- The pain is not severe
- Sore to the touch in some spots
Lower Lumbar Herniated disc – this happens when a nerve root gets compressed in the lower spine.
This can be accompanied by any or all of the following:
- Pain does not subside over time
- Sciatica Pain that is felt in the legs, buttocks and feet
- Pain on only one side of the body
- Inactivity makes the pain worse
- A burning type pain
- Weakness or numbness may result too
Degenerative Disc Disease – Results when a disc between two vertebrae breaks down causing back instability and inflammation.
This is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Continuous moderate lower back pain and sometimes muscle spasms.
- Moderate to very severe back pain
- Sitting usually makes it worse
- Strenuous physical activity most likely feels better than just standing or sitting.
- Changing positions lessens or eliminates the pain.
Isthmic Spondylolisthesis – compressed nerves brought about by a vertebrae slipping toward the front of the disc directly below it.
This can be accompanied by any or all of the following:
- Sciatica or radicular pain
- Bending over backwards increases the pain
- Feels better when sitting or reclining
- Tired legs that may be tingly or numb also
- Tight hamstrings
Sacroiliac Joint Disease – pain results when this key back joint's movement is restricted.
This can be accompanied by any or all of the following:
- Often just an ache and not a sharp pain
- The pain is mostly felt in the hips, thighs, buttocks, groin and lower back
- The pain gets worse when sitting and tends to feel better when reclining or lying down. Adjusting your body position often relieves the pain
Back Pain Causes commonly found in Adults over 60
Degenerative/Facet Joint Osteoarthritis – this is caused by the deterioration of the cartilage that is located in between the facet joints of the spine
This is usually accompanied by any or all of the following:
- Stiffness and lower back pain mostly in the morning and at night
- Pain can be severe enough to interfere with sleep
- Tenderness when an area near the spine is pressed
- Pain gets worse during extended physical activity
- Stiff back and unable to bend over at the waist comfortably
- Possibly Sciatica pain
Degenerative Spondylolisthesis or Lumbar Spinal Stenosis – these put pressure on the nerves where they exit the spine.
This can be accompanied by any or all of the following:
- Pain in the leg that happens mostly when standing upright or walking
- Develops after walking just a short distance
- Sitting down quickly relieves the back pain
- Pain fluctuates from none to severe
- Sciatica associated pain and weakness
Compression fracture of the spine – this is characterized by the sudden onset of back pain
This can be accompanied by any or all of the following:
- Limited flexibility, some height loss, sudden appearance of back pain
- Walking or standing increases the pain level significantly
- Lying on your back brings quick relief
- May include disabilities and deformities

Check out the tour itinerary below for more details:
Itinerary for day 1: Bandung airport + Tangkuban Perahu volcano tour + shopping
- Meet and greet with our representative at Bandung airport.
- Tangkuban Perahu volcano
Located around 30 kilometers from the airport, the volcano can be reached within 1 hour of driving (normal traffic) from Husein Sastranegara airport. This stratovolcano's elevation is at 4,000 meters above sea level and its last eruption was in October 5, 2013.
- Sari Ater hot spring resort
Located only around 17 kilometers from the volcano, this hot spring is another popular tourists' destination after Tangkuban Perahu. Feel free to soak in the hot sulfuric water (around 40 degrees Celsius) which is believed to be good for health due to the heavy mineral contents within, some of them are calcium, magnesium, sulfate, and aluminium, with acidity level around pH 2.75.
- Tea plantation (photo stop)
On the way back to Bandung we will drop by at the tea plantation where you can find a large green landscape of tea.

This family-friendly floating market is another popular tourist attraction where you can relax by the lake or simply try the local cuisines.

Kawah Putih is a crater lake of high acidity level (pH around 1.2) and the attraction of this lake is the striking color of the lake itself which can change color from bluish to greenish depending on the climate and the temperature in the surrounding area.

Managing Director, Francorp
Thinking of franchising your business? Franchising can be a great tool for growing your business and can also be rewarding profit-wise. But franchising can be a double-edged sword. If done poorly, it can cause your business more harm than good. Here are some of the most common mistakes many new franchisors make and how to avoid them.
Using some other company's franchise agreement is like wearing somebody else's wedding dress to your own wedding. For such a milestone event, you would most likely have your dress or suit made to your own specifications. Yet many new franchisors copy their franchise agreement from other businesses that are already franchising because they want to save money, don't have time to wait for a custom-made agreement, or believe a franchise agreement is just like any other franchise agreement. However, the so-called savings on money and time are short-lived; in the long-run, these companies run into more problems and end up paying more for those mistakes. Even if a company has a successful franchise program, that program may not necessarily be applicable to your business. Your franchise agreement should be tailor-fitted to your unique business. It should come after a careful and thorough strategic and financial planning process built around your company's unique business strengths and development goals.
Some new-franchisors charge a high franchise fee from the start because they want to make money on the relationship right away. If you look at the cash flow coming to you from franchising, you will see that the franchise fee is only a small part of what you will make as a franchisor. The major income will come from the ongoing fees – royalties and sale of merchandise/supplies, services, etc. If the franchise fee is just a small portion of what you will make, it doesn't make sense to charge a high franchise fee that will only discourage the entry of new franchisees, when it isn't your main source of revenue anyway. It makes more sense to charge a reasonable franchise fee to bring franchisees into the system, then make your money on the ongoing royalties and sale of supplies/merchandise. Better to treat your franchise fee as a cost recovery fee: charge enough to recover your expenses in setting up the new franchisee: marketing, site assistance, applicant evaluation, training, etc., but don't charge way beyond those.
Franchising should be a win-win arrangement. Franchisors and franchisees should profit from the relationship. Some franchisors have a short-sighted view and design their financial package only taking into account how much money they will make and not how profitable the business will be for their franchisees. They do this by charging fees – royalty, franchise fee, product mark-ups – that result in very little profit for their franchisees. Another way this happens is when they window-dress their franchise offering by projecting higher-than normal sales in order to get a higher return for their franchisees – on paper. This short-sighted approach will backfire in the end. When franchisees begin to feel the pinch of very little or no profits, the franchisors will regret not taking care of their franchisees from the very start.
The general thinking regarding the right time to franchise your business is that you should wait for about two to three years or have opened two to three branches. This is more of a guide than a rule. If you are the first-to-market with a unique product or service, then waiting too long might give others time to copy your idea. Sometimes, more aggressive copycats will even surpass you, making you lose the prime mover advantage you had in the beginning. In cases such as these, it would be better to launch and learn, meaning that you should franchise your business quickly to maintain your market lead, then perfect your business as you go along. The Generics Pharmacy only had 1 branch when they started franchising. But if they waited too long to franchise, then many other brands would have joined the market and negated their early entry into the market. Their quick-to-franchise strategy worked. TGP grew to 500 branches in its first three years. By the time other generic drugstores had entered franchising, TGP already owned many of the coveted locations. They already had top-of-mind brand status.
Some franchisors are so excited to grant franchises that they compromise their selection criteria and grant franchises to applicants they are not entirely convinced would make good franchisees in the first place. The short-term gains – franchise fee, sales revenue, royalties – will later be nullified by the long-term losses – inability to collect receivables, lost sales to customers of the brand, negative image from closure of the branch. These are the top mistakes new-franchisors make but they are not the only ones. The best way to avoid these mistakes is to enlist the help of experienced professionals with multi-disciplinary expertise in franchise strategy, finance, legal, operations and marketing to help you do things right the first time. In franchising, there might not be a second chance to fix these mistakes. Because other investors are involved – i.e. franchisees – there is very little room for error on the franchisor's part.

David Cameron has welcomed the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who was appointed this morning. The Prime Minister said:
"I welcome Justin Welby's appointment as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The Church of England plays an important role in our society, not just as the established church, but in the provision of education, help for the deprived and in furthering social justice. I look forward to working with the Archbishop in all of these areas and I wish him success in his new role"
Reactions towards the appointment, which has been rumoured for a number of days, have been positive, on the whole. Welby has been the Bishop of Durham since October 2011, and amongst those who have welcomed the appointment is Fraser Nelson, who used his column in this morning's Daily Telegraph to draw attention to Bishop Welby's views on the future of the Church (he believes "the Church's mission is to explain the Word of God to people who have grown up having never heard it"), and, amongst other things, his work on the House of Lords' banking committee ("a shrewd and effective interrogator of bankers, easily able to master detail").
Tim Montgomerie wrote last month about the "shock-and-awe" reforms recommended by Conservative MP Gary Streeter that a new Archbishop might make, including selling Lambeth Palace. This might put him on the front pages of newspapers for the right reasons, and…
"…at least for a little while a generation that has hardly heard the Christian story might become curious about this man who lived two thousand years ago and changed the history of the world in such profound ways."

I am a Christian, daughter, wife, employee, doggy parent, amateur photographer, and cooking and gardening lover. If I look inside, there is so much more than that. I AM a Christian and I wonder everyday where God's plan is taking me and I try not to have doubts and fears, but it is hard. I am a daughter to a wonderful father, but I am also a motherless child, having lost my mother on April 5, 2010 to a three year battle with ovarian cancer. My husband, C, is one of the most wonderful, caring men in the world, but that is just my humble opinion. I like my job 95% of the time, which I think is a pretty successful return. C & I do not have children as yet, but we do have a wonderful four-legged companion, a Siberian Husky named Ellie.
All in all, I have a wonderful life. Is there anything I would change? Sure, but I trust in God to guide me down life's path, and I know that everything happens for a reason.
What does all of this have to do with cooking and photography? Not much, but it does offer a little insight into me and that does have something to do with cooking and photography!

Thinking about making changes to your home can seem a bit overwhelming. Because you know there is a lot at stake. First off, everyone knows that home remodeling can have a huge impact on your home's value. Because when selling your home, the upgrades you do now will play a major role. Therefore, as a homeowner, it's important to keep this in mind. Then, Knowing the latest trends before getting started can help you set a vision for your project. At the same time, these trends signify what potential buyers are looking for. So, you get to know what changes can add the maximum value to your home.
Bathroom & kitchen projects are where most homeowners start. But, these are not the only rooms in your house. It pays to know what other hot home remodeling trends are out there. So, here are some of the latest hot trends:
Eco-Friendly Home Remodels
Homes are turning 'greener' with eco-friendly trends getting bigger every year. New technology and innovations are making homes as energy efficient as possible. This is also a top consideration for homebuyers. Improved insulation, better HVAC systems, energy star appliances, and home automation are some of the popular eco-friendly features you can add to your home. Because they not only promise to make your home more comfortable but will also lower your light bill.
'Green' Building Materials
Another eco-friendly trend is using 'green' home remodeling building materials. Homeowners and builders are increasingly looking for home remodeling materials that have the least negative impact on the environment. As such, bamboo is emerging as one of the most popular sustainable building materials. It is a renewable resource that can replace wood in many areas of your home. And it is especially great as a flooring material.

Trendy Finishes & Textures
Faux finishing is a current favorite among homeowners as well as home remodelers. Because it not only allows you to make quick changes to your home décor but is also cost-effective. For example, wall stickers can be an easy and cheap option if you wish to change your wall's texture temporarily. Similarly, flooring labels can allow you to switch the look of your floors from one finish to another. While this may be a temporary solution, it gives you the freedom to play around with different looks.
Vintage is 'in'
Vintage elements are in vogue. In fact, this is a trend that was never truly out of style. Because adding brass and copper accents to your bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms can give a lovely vintage feel to your home. Also, floral designs are making a comeback, and can look great on your furniture and decorative items. Wood, stone, and granite are other classic materials that you can't go wrong with.
Pastel Bedrooms
Monochrome in bedrooms are no longer fashionable. According to Houzz, a leading online home design portal, minimalist designs and soothing pastels will soon dominate. Pastels are great for turning your bedroom into a space for relaxation. But warm and earthy neutrals can work well too.
Upgrades in backyard and patio are growing in popularity. While outdoor kitchens are garnering a lot of attention, building a deck is also a hot remodeling trend. The focus of these projects is to extend the functional space of a home. This way even the outdoors can become a space to relax, enjoy, and entertain guests.
Patios and interesting landscaping can make a great difference to the overall look and feel of your home. With the right furniture and lighting, you can transform your backyard or patio into an outdoor living room. Also, building a fireplace in your patio can allow you to use it during the cooler winter months.
Hot Home Remodeling Trends Conclusion
These are some of the hot home remodeling trends that are making a splash this year. However, do keep in mind the unique requirements of your home before you begin. A professional home remodeler can help you make the most of the latest trends, while matching your needs, preferences, and budget. So, do any of these sounds like you? Call Hestia Home Services & we would be more than happy to go over all your options.

Things To Do In Khao Lak With Toddlers, The thing with regards to a great city and what it really gives you as a vacationer is that it allows you to truly name your adventure. By naming your adventure we imply that there are plenty of things you can do, a range of experiences to be had that anyone can create their ideal visit to the metropolis. Not everybody wants the same thing after they go on vacation. Everybody has different vacation styles like all of us have different personalities. There is not any wrong way to vacation and there's no person-size-fits-all experience. Whenever you name your adventure you select the particular vacation which fits your personality which even taps in to the aspirational aspects of who you wish to be.

So a trip represents many different items to a variety of groups of people. Whenever you arrived at a city like this one there's an abundance of things to do. You'll find you can do very cultural things such as search for a museum intake from the arts, you may go head to the beach if you want to, you can rent a scooter and travel all over the city and all to the backward places also, you can embark on different kinds of sports, you will find all sorts of outdoor activities to complete.

You find each of the statues and everything that you want for taking a photograph before the share with your friends and relations. However, you also find more. You might wind up finding who you truly are and you will get a truly transformative experience but it's all up to you to possess that and to find out what it truly methods to you. To us a holiday this is simply not about jumping on a plane and check out somewhere better than where you're from this is around more than this. It is about accept it all of the spirit from the traveler. There is a saying that you could travel without being well traveled. And you will find a major distinction involving the two. There's something to mention about attending a devote having a superficial experience versus likely to spot in becoming truly immersed in a different culture. If there's whatever we could direct one to do while on vacation that is certainly for taking and everything as well as become one with the environment. That is certainly how you have the ultimate time over a vacation in a town such as this one.

|Elephant in Hope, Maine
Sorry to say the elephants are no longer in Hope. The owner of the elephant preserve died and the elephants were moved out of state.
Took a drive up to Hope, Maine this week to see the elephants. Yes, elephants. Yes, Maine.
The 2 elephants are circus rescues who are over 40 years old. They've got a big play yard and a nicely done barn where they live. They are Asian elephants so more acclimated to the cold than African elephants.
It's an excellent experience for everyone to hear the elephants' stories and to get a pretty close look at them feeding and hanging out together.
It's ok to bring food (apples, carrots, watermelon) but feeding the elephants is not allowed. The elephants do appreciate the gifts, though! Apples and carrots can be hidden in their outdoor area forcing them to 'find' their food rather than just 'get fed'.
Elephants need the stimulation of working and foraging to keep healthy and to ward off boredom.
They are not performing elephants so they aren't going to do tricks while you're there.
For more information and to make an appointment to see the elephants, check the website - Hope Elephants

Topiary and Greenery... the Home's Missing Element
There's nothing quite like indoor plants and flowers to make a room feel lived in. If your room is missing something elemental and you can't put your finger on what it is, chances are good that's it's either scale, texture, color or greenery.
As greenery goes, moss has been a great favorite of mine for years. So much, in fact, that I have it scattered in select spots of my living and dining rooms as a variation of the common houseplant.
These tiny moss pots are irresistible with their silver finish and bright green texture. They would be sweet in a grouping of three along a sideboard or on a night stand in the guest room.
Rosemary topiary, lovely on the eyes as well as nose. They add a homeyness to casual gatherings, especially the breakfast table.
In my own home, I like to incorporate a variety of types of greenery. This is a dried bay leaf assembled on a thin, round wire. It would be a perfect kitchen accessory except for the fact that you would be loathe to remove the leaves for cooking!
And for Valentine's Day, the insouciant combination of pink and red roses. Tres Francais.
These triple topiary in mossy, green pots bring to mind the fleeting days of summer gardening.
Dried boxwood wreath against a black door. But do keep yours indoors away from direct light. Outdoors, they fade in a matter of days.
Add a sweet touch to your guest room with an olive lined, willow basket filled with soaps and pumice.
A fresh rosemary wreath against a rustic, linen chair.
Tiny boxwood euonymous satisfy my winter cravings for greenery. These will do well in a sunny indoor spot but eventually need to be transplanted out of doors. Do so when the weather begins to warm up as this is the best time of year for transplanting.
While our friends on the east coast are seeing snow storms, here in northern California we are having a terrible drought. My poor daffodils are blooming already and we've yet to see any real winter weather. It's meant a lot more tennis which is appreciated but if we don't get some rain, our lawns may be brown this coming summer.

Joy of Cooking...A Gallery of Ever So Charming Kitchens
My husband David retired recently and we have just combined homes for the first time in our six year relationship. Now that he's here full time, I've been spending more time in the kitchen than ever. That's not a bad thing but I do hope the calories don't find their way to our respective mid-sections.
I love cooking, baking and entertaining. And I must say, I love a variety of kitchen design styles. Here is a little kitchen gallery for you to peruse. And if you scroll down a little further to my previous blog post, you'll find a marvelous recipe for my Minestrone soup with fire roasted tomatoes and dried Porcini mushrooms.
For more of my favorite kitchens on Pinterest, click here.

My Best Vegetarian Minestrone with Porcini Mushrooms!
I created this amazing Minestrone soup last night and have been dipping into it since. I had to share the recipe with you. Because of the mushrooms, the stock and tomatoes the base is very rich. The penne pasta adds a satisfying starchy element. Even if you don't love Minestrone, you will appreciate this soup. It's rich like a beef broth but it's vegetarian.
48 oz. Pacific vegetable stock
1 28 oz. can fire roasted tomatoes and juice
1/2 box penne pasta
1/4 C. extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves finely chopped garlic
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2/3 oz. dried porcini mushrooms
1 15 oz. can each black beans, kidney beans and navy beans, rinsed well and drained
1 C. chopped, raw spinach
2 stalks celery, chopped
sea salt and pepper to taste
water as needed (don't dilute the delicious stock too much though!)
generous handful grated, quality Parmesan cheese for topping
In a large stock pot, place vegetable stock, beans, and tomatoes. Simmer over medium low heat while chopping vegetables and grating cheese.
Add penne and cook 11 minutes. Add porcini and spinach during the last five minutes cooking time.
Serve in individual bowls topped with Parmesan cheese.

Let Me...Entertain You: A Gallery of Party Decorating Ideas
My inner, social butterfly appears whenever I see images like the ones featured here in today's Joy of Nesting blog. I especially love informal gatherings which is odd because I'm more of a formal person.
There is something warm and wonderful about entertaining ala rustica. Most of these entertaining ideas capture that rusticity. I provided photo or designer credit wherever available.
Grapefruit and rosemary spritzers on a tray.
Lovely graphic patterns from Hen House Linens.
Dining Etiquette 101, because we need a little guidance at times.
Lavender votive, sweet as can be and easy to assemble with a dab of double sided Scotch Tape.
Monogrammed bottle tags.
Dining chez Muriel Brandolini.
Margarita shots in salted lime halves. Adorable, even if a little cumbersome.
A spot of brilliance from Los Angeles interior designer Nathan Turner: green beans and dips in pewter julep cups.
There is nothing quite so convivial as a service bar. This one features olive and olive oil samplings.
One of the most charming ideas I have seen in awhile...fireflies.
There are times to pull out all the stops. This Moroccan inspired table shouts "girlfriend's birthday".
My neice Ruby Sabine would approve of this idea: slate place mats.
For the bridal shower. Swizzle sticks are easy and inexpensive to make. I did mine with quality balsam sticks from a craft store.
Rugs leading to an outdoor pavilion provide a sense of festivity.
Creativity can fall by the wayside when faced with the challenges of cooking for company. When I plan an event or dinner party, it's extremely helpful to have one or two go-to places for a wide variety of curated ideas. I like keeping mine in my Pinterest files.

As Layered as You Please...A Gallery Full of Busy Decor
As a designer, my tastes in interiors are fairly eclectic. I love applying a broad range of colors and styles to my client's décor.
One thing that seems to have a common thread throughout my work and the work I admire from my fellow designers is a "layered" look. I like layers. I like it when a room is lived in, yet organized. Evolved yet pulled together. Nothing too matchy-matchy, but definitely coordinated.
Here is a little gallery I pulled together this morning from my Pinterest board entitled Interiors.
Above image from Jacques Grange.
Scalamandre wallpaper.
When working with a "cool", monochromatic color scheme you can add lots of texture for visual and tactile interest. Shiny mercury glass adds some glitz.
Albert Hadley, above image. The corner of this room has some appealing layers.
Chatsworth in England. My son Christian and I visited Chatsworth when he was pre-teen. We spent considerable time in the barnyard area with the sheep and chickens.
No color in this little vignette but it feels "lived in" because of the books, baskets and plant.
Salvaged wood fireplace surround next to the drama of tufted leather, floor length draperies, and crystal chandelier.
A wide variety of styled furnishings work well together in this Moorish style architecture.
Busy, modern layering. The pieces featured here "light up" against one another.
Blue, red and a touch of yellow: colors that are particularly fresh together. The iconic chandelier is by Marjorie Skouris.
Cool gray painted book cases and paneling, chevron stained floors and an Aero Saarinen table: a fresh take on classic design.
Frilly, romantic, cabbage roses. Bennison and Laura Ashley fabrics were favorites in the eighties. To me, they still feel fresh.
The pop of Chinese red and robin's egg blue in a sitting area "loft". Jeffrey Billhuber.
Exuberant color and lots of "things" in this cottage styled décor.
The warmth of wood is cooled down with white upholstery and iron fixtures.
Rooms without possessions seem unlived in. Not evolved. Like a cheap hotel, they're devoid of personality or clues about the persons who inhabit them. Whatever your preferred style of living, my hope is that you'll fill your home with the things you love and enjoy them on a daily basis.

In the magical desert of Cassir, only the nomadic caravans wander and thrive in the brutal, vast, scorching lands. But a darkness is drawing near, and heroes must rise, if they dare to answer the desert's call.
All Ansi wants to do is be a dancer. However as second daughter of chief to the Mawavi tribe, she's expected to do only one thing: marry well. Kept under the strict rule of her mother, Ansi secretly plans her escape. But when the caravan tribes begin gathering for the winter festival, she quickly finds her plans ruined and time running out, until the Bone Dancers arrive, offering her an escape.
Yet the legendary dancers seem to know more about Ansi than they're letting on, and the desert's cries are growing louder…

At about sometime after 7 pm on 30 April 2013, I was driving on straight road coming out of Blk 60 Bedok South, when I saw a speeding taxi from far driving on wrong side of Road. (my side) coming straight at me. I stop and keep sounding my horn, but he still came straight at me and only stop inches away from my vehicle. I got down my car and want to confront him. He was still talking on the phone while winding down his window. This driver is very dangerous to road user and pedestrian especially at the speed he drive in HDB estate and completely ignore everything while on the phone. Something must be done before further serious mishap happen.
Taxi No: SHB2700U (white mercedes)
It is quite common for taxi drivers to be complacent and take things for granted. Perhaps this guy was distracted in trying to locate his destination. In any case though, he should have stopped to figure out what he is going to do rather than try to over-manage and nearly cause an accident.

How to Survive a Red Eye Flight
Anuja Marathe Kanhere
Oct 03, 2019
People are tempted to opt for red eye flights because they come at the cheapest possible fare. But these flights cause high levels of fatigue due to loss of sleep. Here is how you can avoid getting affected by red eye flights.
Red eye flight popularly refers to airplane journeys of short duration usually towards eastern direction. The term 'red eye' became popular on account of fatigue felt by travelers on such journeys.
Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.
Red eye flights are scheduled at nighttime or midnight, which can leave the passengers stressed due to lack of sleep.
The flight usually reaches the destination early in the morning when the passengers feel drowsy and many of them end up having red eyes due to stress. However, red eye flights need not always be that bad, provided you follow some easy precautions and catch up on some good sleep even when you are in transit. Here are some useful tips.
Tips to Prevent Red Eye Flight Effects
Eating Healthy
One of the most important things to do before you board the flight is to eat your fill of food. Ideally eat light dry food that suffices your daily dinner requirements.
Eating beforehand helps you sleep without any interruptions throughout the journey. Usually people who look forward to food served on the airplane, tend to stay awake till the food is served and finished. You can save some precious sleeping time by eating in advance.
Similarly, eating light and dry food exempts the possibility of air sickness. Keep a water bottle with you throughout the journey instead of waiting for the airline crew to provide you with a glass of water each time you are thirsty.
Seat Selection
It is essential to choose a seat with ample leg space and a good leg rest. At the same time, the seat should be recliner so as to get into a proper sleeping position during the flight. Ideally, select a seat which is not too close to the two end exits.
This is because, washrooms are located at these exits, which makes this area full of activity throughout the flight. Seats at the rear or near the emergency exits are usually non-recliner. So even these seats are not recommended.

Choose a window seat towards the frontal part of the plane as it has ample leg space. A window seat offers you a chance of peaceful sleep as your neighbors will not disturb you for accessing the plane aisle.

Similarly, window seats offer you a chance to recline your head on the plane's window for additional comfort.
Sleeping Well
Most of the passengers find difficult to sleep peacefully on planes. The best option is to induce sleep by creating a good sleeping environment. Dress yourself in comfortable and loose-fitting clothing to help you sleep soundly. The most important things to do is to recline your seat to full limit. As one can get better sleep in a horizontal position only.
Ask for a blanket to keep you warm throughout the airplane journey. Similarly, a cushion to support your head would help you sleep better. One ideal way to induce good sleep is to use an eye mask and a pair of cotton ear muffs.
You can even carry some lavender-scented gel to sniff on as lavender is known to induce sleep as part of aroma therapy. Avoid listening to music or watching movies while on red eye flights as they eat away your precious relaxation time.
Tips to Recover from Red Eye Flight Effect
These were suggestions to help you avoid the red eye flight effects. But what to do in case you happen to be a victim of this problem and want to recover from it at the earliest? Here is what you can do.
◉ Drink a lot of water or fresh fruit juices. The basic idea here is to stay hydrated so that you will feel less exhausted.
◉ Your body will go on signaling throughout the day that it is tired but keep your mind alert. Steer clear of any temptation to hit the bed and go off to sleep. Instead, start the work that you had planned to do before you embarked on the flight.
◉ If there is no work schedule, then use the time to work out or go and explore the new city.

Maybe, you can engage in activities like shopping or sight-seeing that are bound to keep you alert and awake.
Fight the desire to sleep at whatever cost and go to sleep at their daily schedule only. This will help your body adjust faster to the time difference and avoid jet lag at all costs.

Flexipop – When Plastic Was Fantastic!
Lovingly Recreating The Zeitgeist Of The Nineteen Eighties...
If you can remember the nineteen eighties… you probably weren't there. Barry Cain was – and he's got 27 incredible issues of Flexipop magazine to prove it!
It was a publishing phenomenon – and, in common with many of the most interesting things about that decade, it soon got itself banned.
Launched in 1980 by Barry and Tim Lott, every issue came with a flexible music disc. Flexipop was an overnight success rapidly reaching sales of more than 100,000… but it only lasted for 27 issues before it disappeared in 1983. Why?
Get out your mascara and pirates shirts… tonight, we're gonna party like it's 1981!

Louis C.K. has a new show that you probably haven't heard much about — if anything at all.
The show is called "Horace and Pete," and it stars C.K. and actor Steve Buscemi as two owners of an Irish bar.
C.K. created the show, which can only be seen on his website, and a lack of viewers has put him millions of dollars in debt.
The comedian went on "The Howard Stern Show" on Monday to promote the show and while speaking with Stern he explained his financial blackhole.
He said he self-financed the first four episodes, which cost $2 million, in the hope that he'd make his money back after people started paying to watch them.
The first episode costs $5 while the second is $2, then $3 for episodes 3-10.
To finish the season C.K. had to take out a line of credit.
"I'm millions of dollars in debt," C.K. told Stern.
C.K. admits that the show costs significantly more to produce than the stand up specials he sells on his personal website. He also admits that he didn't promote the show on purpose.
"I got so excited by the idea of having a show appear from nothing," he told Stern.
Now he's going on Stern and other big outlets to get the word out about the show.
Down the road the popular comedian is hoping to sell the show to a TV network.
To help make up the money he's lost, C.K. said he plans to go out on the road doing stand-up.
Don't feel down for C.K., this is what he has to say about his altruistic decision.
"No other way could have made a show that when you're watching it, you don't know what's going to happen, when you're going to see another one, you don't know who's in it," he said. "That was well worth it for me."

Surviving College Rejection Letters: It Can Be Done
Posted on March 29, 2012 in Worry Wise
Following up on my recent blog post on handling college admission stress, in this post, I get right down to the tough, but necessary business of handling rejection. No one likes it, but given the sharp increase in the number of college applications, and the fact that most, especially the elite, highly competitive schools, have not increased their class size, it's a statistical fact of life: rejection letters will happen. But it's what happens after the rejection that matters most. Here are tips for parents and students to stay on track and not get derailed by misinterpreting the meaning when a college says no.

I remember so dearly the days where kids did not return to school until after "Labor Day" in September. Now it just seems crazy that kids are expected to return when the weather is still hot in August. The only thing that might really brighten up this prospect is to get some fun backpacks so I looked at some high quality designer ones from "StyleWe" that are functional as well as stylish.
Another thing I was known for was wearing dresses when everyone else was wearing jeans!
StyleWe has a blog and is on "Pinterest."

The mid-month data is pointing to an increase of around 29c/l for both petrol and diesel.
Johannesburg – Given the extreme volatility experienced by the rand in recent times, trying to predict next month's fuel price movement is harder than usual, but right now the mid-month data is pointing towards an increase of around 29 cents a litre for both petrol and diesel.
Although much smaller than last month's increase, South African motorists are already buckling under record prices of more than R15 a litre for all grades of petrol in all regions and even a small increase would be difficult for most to bear.
Although the average fuel price 'under recovery' for the month so far stands at 29 cents, an encouraging sign is that the daily price calculations of the past week have all amounted to a deficit of less than 20 cents, even dipping to 10 cents on Thursday. Should this trend persist, the average should fall somewhat below 29 cents by the end of this month.
What's driving the price movement?
While global oil prices have been largely to blame for the inflation we've seen in recent months, this month our currency is the culprit, as the Automobile Association explains:
"Since the start of June, the rand has steadily weakened against the US dollar, with the average cost per dollar having climbed from around the R12.50 mark to nearly R13.00. Fortunately international oil prices retreated over the same period, and have had a very small impact on the figures.
"Almost all of the increase is due to rand weakness and the picture would have looked very much worse if international oil prices had not come down over the past two weeks".
The association further warned that oil prices could easily rise again in the short to mid term, given the recent volatility in oil markets over the last six weeks.

Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is the second novel by Kiran Desai which has won Bretty Task Awards in '98.
I would start by telling you that its full of amazing one liners guys! I simply loved them… Its humorous and at times, you just end up laughing loud while going through this novel.
Kiran has definitely proved that she is a genius at writing with this one piece.
This novel revolves around Sampath who lives with her family in a small village called "Shahkot". He is fed of his life and tried to get rid of everything by settling on a guava tree and this is where the true story begins. His dad initially shouts and screams on Sampath for being so completely irresponsible and reckless. But then later, he realizes that this could be taken as an opportunity and then, the game begins when Sampath becomes a saint and a holy man for the people of Shahkot. He used the gossip that he learned while working in the post office as a tool and people thought that he is some ubiquitous saint who knows everything! Everything goes well till this Sampath's holy place also becomes a fav for the naughty monkeys of the town attracted by the food which was given to them by Sampath's followers!
The problem occurs where somehow, these monkeys gets addicted to alcohol and starts creating havoc. The whole town becomes crazy to solve this problem of monkeys from high authorities to normal people. This is where I just felt that the book was a bit stretched. And the ending was completely confusingL I was really waiting for a better end. Guess, Kiran has left an open ending for the readers to assume where would Sampath had gone.
I believe everything was amazing about this book. It just lacked a bit on the story part. The ending could definitely had been much definedJ
But I would recommend it to allJ
Few one liners from this masterpiece:
A man asks Sampath, " My son has got into a bad company. What do I do?" To which, Sampath replies "Add lemons to milk n it will grow sour. But add some sugar and wah hoe good that milk will taste.
"if you put a chicken on the fire and leave it, in a little while it will no longer be a chicken but ashes and bones. Leave a kettle on he flames, the water will grow hot and then, if someone does not lift the kettle, it will all boil away! If you child is playing with a dead smelly mouse, you will not debate:"Should I let him be, Should I let him Play?"
If you do not weed, your tomato plant will not flower
If you talk to a young girl as she stands in front of a mirror, it is like talking to a deaf person
Can you keep a moth from flying into the lantern by saying she should worry about her 3 children
Once you have broken the bottle you can no longer distinguish the air inside from the air outside
If a fire cracker has been lit, then it is going to explode, like it or not. Until you throw it into a bucket of water. And then, what a waste of firecracker.

Since time seems to be the top offender when it comes to following your interests outside work (could be anything from really weird stuff to very serious matters), I am constantly searching for ways to manage my share and achieve more.
In one of my wanderings over the web, I came across Michael Hyatt and that was a lucky day. He is a very successful speaker, author, and coach with pieces of advice around personal development, leadership and productivity to apply in your personal and professional life.
His most recent eBook "Shave 10 Hours Off Your Workweek" is exploring 4 strategies to make the most of your time. The overall approach is to concentrate on the activities that matter and declutter your days from any items that do not bring value. All the tactics he shares in this 50 page eBook are listed below, along with my short personal notes as extra guidelines so you won't have any excuse for not using them!
Boost your energy
- Get enough sleep: this is mandatory for a clear mind and good focus during the day
- Take a nap: keep it short, just 10 to 30 minutes, between noon and 4 pm
- Stay healthy: exercise and eat non-processed foods like vegetables and fruits
- Be positive: it is ultimately your choice to keep a good spirit however the day unfolds
Guard your time
- Plan your day the night before: think of the most important things you want to accomplish the next day and make a to-do list
- Plan your week: check the progress from the past week and schedule next steps, together with reviewing your annual goals and upcoming projects
- Schedule everything that matters: consider also the time for rest and exercise (in line with strategy no 1) along with the time spent with family and friends
- Triage your calendar: eliminate nonessentials and reschedule the rest by using the priority matrix built by Stephen Covey in his book "First Things First" – the main idea is to shift your time and energy more and more in quadrant 2
Sharpen your focus
- Get offline: no distractions, turn off your app notifications and close all social media sessions (yes, even facebook); music can also help to keep you on the task at hand
- Use batch processing: treat similar activities together so that you don't fall into the risk of having to shift your focus, this is the reason for which multitasking cannot work
- Touch emails only once: you read it, you decide what to do with it! if you ponder about it, it's called procrastination 😉
Stretch your "no" muscle
- Practice the art of quitting: it can be hard but some things might prove not to be worthwhile, hence better to quit before investing more time without results to justify it
- Weigh the pros and cons: review what are the benefits considering the efforts involved
- Automate your "no": as soon as recurring requests are identified, you can build a template to use whenever needed
- Fix or quit useless meetings: cancel useless meetings or propose shorter times when not possible
If you'd like to dig in deeper which I recommend, you can get the eBook for free by subscribing to his email newsletter (usually 3 posts a week). Also, you can access many other helpful resources on his website.
Have a productive day and please share in the comments if you learned any other tips & tricks for time management!0

Nga tukitanga mai koka ki tona ira: Maori mothers and child to mother violence.Ripekapaia Gloria Ryan, RN, MN, Ngati Porou, Te Whanau Apanui, Ngati Ireland
Denise Wilson, RN, PhD, FCNA(NZ), Tainui Awhiro, Ngati Tahinga, Associate Professor – MÄori Health/ Director of Taupua Waiora Centre for MÄori Health Research, AUT University, Auckland
Ryan, R. G., & Wilson, D. (2010). Nga tukitanga mai koka ki tona ira: Maori mothers and child to mother violence. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 26(3), 25-35.
In common with other indigenous women MÄori mothers risk illness, harm, and possible death when abused and intimidated by their children. Yet women suffering child to mother violence are silenced by their fear and shame, and endeavour to minimise the effects of this form of abuse. A qualitative descriptive research design using kaupapa MÄori methodology was adopted to explore the experiences of MÄori mothers who had been abused by a son or daughter. During semi-structured interviews with five MÄori women experiences of abuse by a child, and its impact on the whÄnau/ family were recorded. Interview transcripts were analysed thematically, and three key themes emerged: behind closed doors, my child and a new journey. These MÄori mothers carried the secret of the violence alone; keeping it behind closed doors while paradoxically protecting their abusive child. Nonetheless, these mothers reached a point where they chose to undertake a new journey, one that involved telling their story, reconnecting with their indigenous roots, and engaging in healing activities. The mothers' experiences highlight a lack of support and responsiveness by support and health agencies. Regardless of these negative experiences with support agencies, we highlight the important role nurses have in facilitating whÄnau ora (family wellbeing) for these women. This research contributes an indigenous perspective to the growing literature on child to mother violence, and provides direction for future research.
Key Words: Indigenous women, MÄori mothers, child to mother violence, kaupapa MÄori, support agencies.

2009 Film Guide : The Class, by Laurent Cantet
The Film Guide has been released every year since 2003 by the Cultural Service of the French Embassy and the Irish Film Institute. It is also supported by the Arts Council. The Guide is a unique class resource for French teachers in Ireland.
The Class, winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Festival, was chosen for this 2009 issue.
The film is based on the story of François (performed by François Begaudeau, who also wrote the book which inspired the film), a young and dynamic French teacher in a troublemaking high school class. Everyday, disputes and clashes erupt between the teacher and his students. But François still tries to instill a good atmosphere while remaining in charge.
This 2009 Film Guide will be distributed, along with the DVD, to French teachers in Ireland, providing them with an audio-visual tool for the class. It will also be available for students (along with previous issues) at the Alliance Française Library in Dublin (1 Kildare Street, Dublin 2, 1st floor).
The digitalversion is available here :

Strips that Sizzle
March 23, 2003
These photos are the result of a workshop with Margaret Miller, based on her book,
Strips That Sizzle
. We were asked to bring a selection of fabrics ranging in value from light to dark from each of two colour families, and a camera. This was my first time using my digital camera, and some of the photos turned out quite well (although others didn't). I chose yellow and blue as my colours, because I'd seen a painting at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam using those two colours (but unfortunately, I didn't note the name of the painting, and now I'm kicking myself). After sewing our blocks together, we worked on a design board, playing with different designs and combinations of blocks. These are the results. The drafts in other colour combinations are from other workshop participants, including two who combined forces at the end to play with three colours.

I'm a bad blogger. My only excuse this time is that I'm near the end of six weeks leave. We just got home yesterday from a three week road trip through NSW and Queensland. I spent the two weeks before the holiday catching up on domestica and packing, and the six weeks of term 3 that I was actually at work were so crazily busy that some things (like this blog) simply got forgotten. No, not forgotten, ignored like a nagging toothache – you know you should attend to it, you know you'll feel better if you do, but…
This will change!
My priorities/goals/challenges for term four are (in no particular order):
- Blog more regularly about the miriad aspects of my role as ICT coach – the projects, the challenges, the successes and the failures.
- Be a better online participant – I want to add to the conversation instead of simply nodding my head when I agree, or muttering under my breath when I don't.
- Get started on my presentation for the VITTA conference. Get over the fact that I put in the submission in a moment of excitement and didn't really expect to be accepted…this will be fun! (Yes it will, yes it will, yes it will…)
- Get mentally prepared to be working at 110 percent as of next Monday morning when school returns. I am not going to allow myself to be so over-whelmed by all that needs doing that I resort to doing very little (if I say this often enough hopefully I will believe it!).
- Get more involved in the PLP program ning.
- Prepare, promote and present a lively and engaging program for Brekky Bytes and Afternoon (i.c.) Tea for term four.
- Work with CPT teams to encourage more participation by teachers in the year 12 study skills ning. There is no doubt that the successful subject groups have the most contribution from teachers. I have to work out how I can guide the non-participants to make their own discovery of how useful this form of communication can be.
- Set up the new ning for the class of 2010. Work with the early commencement planning team to ensure that all our current year 11 students register on the ning before the end of early commencement week. Work with teachers to ensure that all early commencement resources are available on the ning.
I'm sure there are many more but I am resolved to do everything as efficiently as possible (see point 4), so I won't dally over publishing this. Love to hear your tips and advice for achieving any or all of the above!
