More About Vertigo Dance Company & the Eco-Art Village
Vertigo Dance Company in Noa Wertheim's Mana. Photo by Gadi Dagon.
With a studio in Jerusalem rather than Tel Aviv and another home base in the form of an Eco-Art Village on Kibbutz Netiv HaLamed-Hey, Vertigo Dance Company is certainly far from ordinary. But what makes Vertigo even more of a standout is the exceptional artistry and socially conscious vision of its artistic directors, Noa Wertheim and Adi Sha'al.
From the very start, the couple's striking choreography made an impression on the local dance scene. The pair's first duet, Vertigo, drew not only from Sha'al's own experience in the air force but also considered the feeling of dizziness within the context of personal relationships; the work garnered them the 1992 On the Way to London award from the British Council. The following year, their multimedia duet Contact Lenses won the first prize in the prestigious Shades of Dance festival for emerging choreographers.
As Wertheim and Sha'al expanded the ensemble of their Vertigo Dance Company, they became known for making daringly athletic work that explored deeply human issues. The company's repertory also shattered the conventions of traditional concert dance. The Power of Balance (2001), a collaboration with British choreographer Adam Benjamin, integrated the group's regular roster of dancers with disabled dancers. Placing mankind's relationship to the environment at its core, Birth of the Phoenix (2004) abandoned the theater for the outdoors, with the dancers performing on a dirt ground under a geodesic dome.
In June, Vertigo performed a trilogy of recent works – the iconic Birth of the Phoenix, the supremely energetic White Noise (2008), and the magnificent Mana (2009) – at the Israel Festival in Jerusalem. Now the company is bringing these three stellar dances to the Suzanne Dellal Center as part of the SummerDance 2010 festival with performances running from August 2 to August 4. As a bonus, the performance of White Noise on June 3 will be followed by a meeting with the artists.
Want to learn more about this unique group? Here are several videos with footage of interviews at the Eco-Art Village and the dances from the trilogy as well as Vertigo and Noa Wertheim's appearance at the TedxTelAviv event.
Below is a video about Vertigo Dance Company's Eco-Art Village, with brief clips primarily of Noa Wertheim's Birth of the Phoenix.
In this next video, artistic directors Noa Wertheim and Adi Sha'al as well as some of Vertigo's dancers talk about working in the Eco-Art Village. Many of the dance excerpts are from Wertheim's White Noise.
Vertigo and Noa Wertheim were part of TedxTelAviv, which was held on April 26, 2010 at the Jaffa port. The video below includes an excerpt from White Noise, followed by Wertheim discussing her move to the Eco-Art Village and her philosophy. The video closes with an excerpt of Mana.

As mixed-martial-arts hottie Gina Carano prepares for her feature film debut, director Steven Soderbegh has given her a big lift, casting three studs of varying ages to back her up.
Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and Michael Douglas are poised to sign on for "Knockout," said The Hollywood Reporter. The action-thriller is about a spy (Carano) who seeks revenge after being double-crossed by a colleague from a private security firm. Dennis Quaid is in talks as well.
God bless Soderbergh for making the "Ocean's" films so he could have a fat enough bankroll to keep doing stuff like this. Making a movie about one of the biggest corporate whistle-blowers of all time into a comedy ("The Informant!"), casting real-life porn star Sasha Grey as a prostitute in "The Girlfriend Experience," and then there's "Bubble"...
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
And now he's casting an MMA star with bascially no acting experience to star opposite the likes of Quaid and Douglas. It's rare for a guy with this kind of talent and juice to do this kind of work.
In other Soderbergh news, just a reminder that his documentary about Spalding Grey, "And Everything is Going Fine," debuts Jan. 23 at Slamdance.

By Harvey Correia, CFCA sponsor
My wife, Linda, and I began our family relatively late so when there was a CFCA presentation in our parish while Linda was pregnant with our only child, Michael, we liked the idea of expanding our family through sponsoring a young child.
We sponsored Claudia, a 17-month-old from Nicaragua, in August 1998 when our son was 6 months old.
Although we were not especially active sponsors in writing to our sponsored friend, we treasured the letters received, first written by an older sister and, as Claudia grew older, from Claudia.
We did pray for Claudia and her family in our daily prayers, and this helped strengthen our bond with Claudia as well as help teach Michael our beliefs in social justice.
The annual photos have been a great treasure and formed a great album showing Claudia's progress.
We read CFCA articles about mission awareness trips and thought one day it would be nice to meet Claudia.
Claudia at age 1.
Claudia at age 9.
Finally, an August 2009 trip fit our schedule perfectly, so we registered for the trip.
We arrived in Nicaragua on Saturday and greatly anticipated meeting Claudia in a few days. Much to our surprise, God had more treasures planned for us, however.
Early in the trip we visited a small town where CFCA worked, and there we met Juan Francisco and his family who had been waiting two years for sponsorship.
Juan Francisco was a spunky 7-year-old boy who had very sad living conditions and did not attend school regularly since the family did not have money for a uniform or school supplies.
We knew we could not leave Juan Francisco and his family without helping and knew that God wanted us to share the blessings he had bestowed upon us, so our family grew that day.
Juan Francisco and his family now have much better living conditions, and our boy is doing very well in school.
A couple of days later we finally met Claudia, and what a joy.
Hearing her voice, receiving big hugs, holding hands, and sharing gifts created memories that will last forever. The experience went way beyond the "nice" we were expecting.
We spent a little over two days together traveling to a park and other projects. It brought lots of tears when we had to say goodbye, but we promised to come back again some day.
Although we had not considered sponsoring any more children, we were glad we had Juan Francisco in our lives.
Claudia also learned that there were others with even greater needs than her own, and she said she wanted to help the poor one day.
God had yet more surprises for us, and a few days later we met 7-year-old Neyling, who became part of our family that day.
Neyling is an adorable little girl with a big warm smile and full of constant hugs.
We returned home the following day but felt like we left our hearts in Nicaragua, where we now had three children and had the opportunity to meet many dedicated CFCA employees.
Harvey continues his story when his family returned to Nicaragua to celebrate Claudia's quinceaÒera.

Missing sheriff's K-9 found alive
Drug dog ran off after search
A law enforcement K-9 that ran off following a search Sunday night has been found alive, and is no worse for the wear, according to the Wood County Sheriff's Department.
Toro was found eating a deer carcass in a wooded area not far from where he ran off, said Sheriff Thomas Reichert.
Toro is a German shepherd trained in drug detection, tracking and apprehension. The Wisconsin State Patrol had asked for Toro's assistance in a drug search of a vehicle Sunday night. But after assisting the trooper, Toro ran off into a wooded area.
Deputies from Wood and Portage counties searched for Toro all day Monday, and asked for the public's help in finding the dog. Several local fire and police departments assisted in the search, and a helicopter was used.
Wood County officials thanked everyone for their help.
"He's one of us," said Lt. Shawn Becker about Toro.
Toro was immediately taken to a veterinarian and was found to have no other injuries than a small cut to his paw. Toro will be back to work on Friday.

Train speeds up: Get to D.C. 10 minutes faster
Charlottesvillians traveling to the nation's capital aboard Amtrak's "Cardinal" may soon get an extra 10-minutes in D.C., thanks to the first moneys from the state's new Rail Enhancement Fund.
The $21,000 will allow the Cardinal– which runs between Washington and Chicago three times a week– to switch over from slow-moving CSX-owned tracks to speedier Norfolk-Southern tracks between Orange and Charlottesville.
"It's a straighter shot at a higher speed," says Jennifer Pickett, spokesperson for the state's department of Rail and Public Transportation.
Pickett says that stretch on Norfolk Southern tracks has a top speed limit of 79 miles per hour, while the CSX tracks– operated by a company called Buckingham Branch– has some speed limits as low as 30 miles per hour. The upgrade, Pickett says, entails installing about 225 new ties, surfacing 1,500 feet of track, and replacing two epoxy joints.
The smallest among the 12 awards for projects around the state approved December 15, the $21,000 is dwarfed by one for $7.5 million toward a massive project comprising a Roanoke area intermodal freight facility and various tunnel expansions.
Pickett says the projects offer the promise of pulling more than two million cars and nearly one million trucks from Virginia's roads, with the annual fuel savings estimated at over 17 million gallons annually.
But controversy persists.
When the Buckingham Branch took over the old C&O mainline a year ago, some union leaders predicted that the new operator would seek state funding for track maintenance. Indeed, the Buckingham Branch did apply for over $2.9 million for replacements and upgrades– including $525,000 to replace rails in Western Albemarle County and $1.4 million to upgrade signals on North Mountain (between Charlottesville and Clifton Forge).
Those proposals were "not recommended," according to Pickett, although she believes they may stand a chance if they're resubmitted next fall to the "Rail Preservation Program," the state's special money pool just for short lines.
Indeed, Steve Powell, Buckingham Branch's general manager, says the company may apply to the Preservation Fund.
The Rail Enhancement Fund was long touted by Governor Mark Warner and received bipartisan support in the 2005 General Assembly. Using a portion of the rental car tax, it provides approximately $23 million in dedicated funding for passenger or freight rail improvements in Virginia. Each project must obtain at least 30 percent in matching funds and demonstrate public benefits.
Other big dollops of dollars that might someday affect Charlottesville travelers include:
* $140,000 to study Richmond improvements, including access to the Main Street Station for the proposed TransDominion Express;
* $700,000 toward a study of a possible $200 million extension of the Virginia Rail Express from Manassas to Haymarket; and
* $750,000 to study the idea of bringing high-speed rail to Richmond, an award not mentioned in last month's list of finalists.
"That's a brand new one," explains Pickett. "That one we added because we were hearing that it was time to move forward on high-speed rail between Richmond and Raleigh."
Former Charlottesville City Councilor Meredith Richards is glad to hear about addition of the high-speed rail money. The longtime passenger rail advocate considers many of the current funded projects mere "maintenance issues."
"It seems like we're relieving [the freight railroads] of fairly routine expenditures," says Richards. "I'm not sure how much of the public interest is being served."
The Cardinal travels between Chicago and Washington.

I've heard plenty about disgruntled taxpayers — and when we have to pay out of our own pockets, aren't we almost always disgruntled? — but a server at Cupola experienced how far that can go.
Adrian Hoffman, the corporate chef for the Lark Creek Restaurant Group, was dining at their Cupola in the Westfield San Francisco Centre when a waiter came over and showed him the card (pictured above) that was inserted in the bill, along with a $3 tip. It came from a couple, and the total bill was about $37.
"We get lots of little cards full of allergies of what customers can't eat," said Hoffman in a telephone interview, " but I've never seen this."
His reaction: shock.
" We get our fair share of European tourists over the summer and they are notorious for not tipping, but this is different," he said.
It appears the customer's lack of tipping had nothing to do with service, or probably what's coming out of his own wallet. California Proposition 30, which passed on Nov. 6, raises the state sales tax slightly, from 7.25% to 7.5%, and it creates higher tax brackets for those earning more than $250,000 a year.
So while everyone will pay a little more, if this customer actually will be paying more state income tax, he must be in the upper 3 percent. He's making his own political statement on the wallet of someone else.
This is one guy I'm glad I don't know.

You are here
Washington, DC -- On June 23, 2011, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that its 28 member countries would release 60 million barrels of crude oil and refined products into the global market. As part of that action, the President directed the Department of Energy to auction 30.237 million barrels of light, sweet crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Yesterday, bids were received.
Industry interest in the Department of Energy's sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) oil was very high. Over 90 offers to purchase oil were received yesterday and the Department's offering of 30.2 million barrels of light, sweet crude oil was substantially oversubscribed. The Department expects all contract awards to be completed by July 11, 2011, at which time details about purchasers and sales prices will be released.
The Department has been in close consultation with key oil exporters to ensure the IEA action and the producer response to the current oil supply disruptions are mutually reinforcing.

Everything is going pretty well for Oliver in the Wednesday, March 20th return episode of Arrow, "which means [it's] about to go really bad," Stephen Amell told fans of The CW series at Saturday night's PaleyFest panel. And boy, will it!
After saving the life of his enemy, Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Oliver Queen (Amell) will eventually have to face the Dark Archer, but he has other problems in store as well, the least of which involve the returns of The Huntress (Jessica de Gouw), The Count (Seth Gabel) and Deadshot (Michael Rowe). Lest we forget, his former flame Sarah Lance (Jacqueline MacInnes Woods) may actually be alive — this according to Dinah Lance (Alex Kingston), who will reunite with her family in a big way when the show returns. What else is in store? Check out more spoilers from the panel below:
Arrow Postmortem: Do too many people know Oliver's secret?
1. Spoiler Alert: A new sizzle reel shown before the panel teased Gabel's return as The Count, The Huntress apparently telling Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne) that Oliver Queen is the Hood, and Oliver and Slade (Manu Bennett) teaming up with Shado (Celina Jade) on the island!
2. Black Canary's evolution: When introducing Katie Cassidy on stage, DC Comics's Chief Creative Officer and moderator Geoff Johns called her the "Black Canary to be." But executive producer Marc Guggenheim reminded fans that it took Oliver five years to evolve into this hero, so they're letting her story unfold in a realistic way as well and added that her transition has to be earned. "For Laurel, where she's at right now, we don't want to do disservice to Laurel or Oliver that she could have a bad day and put on fishnets and just start killing people," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg says.
3. Oliver's big secret: Now that Tommy (Colin Donnell) knows the truth, there will definitely be conflict on the horizon between him and Oliver because the buffer between Ollie's two worlds has become far too thin. "It changes everything about the friendship," Amell says. "Tommy's big problem... is that I've killed people. Tommy is a good guy, he doesn't want to see that and reconcile that his friend would do that."
Arrow Exclusive: Celina Jade on Shado's new partnership with Oliver
4. Is Sarah alive? Laurel's mother Dinah returned to Starling City with news that Sarah, who had presumably perished on the Queen's Gambit, is actually alive. Naturally, Laurel will be in "complete shock" over this possibility, and Cassidy adds that Laurel will have to rationalize whether Dinah is, first of all, telling the truth, and secondly, how trustworthy the information she has obtained is. Dinah will have a lot more information than we expect! Also look for Dinah to challenge Det. Lance.
5. Mama Queen: Because Moira's (Susanna Thompson) hit on Malcolm's life failed, Moira will be struggling to keep up her façade under Malcolm's watchful eye. "She's once again being put between a rock and a hard place and she's making another deal with this particular devil that she's been making deals with along the way, hoping against all hope for the ultimate not to happen," Thompson says. "It's all for her family."
6. Dark Archer showdown: Will Oliver regret saving Malcolm's life? There was a unanimous yes from the panel. "Malcolm is sort of evil Bruce Wayne," Kreisberg says and adds that both Oliver and Malcolm want what's best for the city. "You're really going to find out a lot more about Malcolm, what's driving him and what's going on with the Undertaking." He's a reflection of what Oliver could become without a moral compass. Speaking of awesome genre stars like Barrowman, Kreisberg also noted that another major genre star will be guest-starring in an upcoming episode. Any guesses?
Arrow Scoop: Oliver will be faced with saving the life of his enemy
7. Oliver and Slade's relationship: "They are a sort of proto-Butch and Sundance," Guggenheim says of the island mates and adds that the writers will be "complicating that relationship in future episodes. Not necessarily drawing tension into it, but adding a third element." Spoiler alert: Here's the third wheel!
8. Outside of Starling City: Oliver will actually venture outside of Starling City — other than the island, of course. "He's going to make a trip to Blüdhaven," Kreisberg says of the fictional DC Comics city that serves as the backdrop for Nightwing. However, "Nightwing will not be there," Kreisberg added.
9. Speedy's evolution: Roy Harper (Colton Haynes) will seemingly go through a similar evolution to Black Canary in that it'll be a while before we see him joining up with Oliver as his sidekick, but "We'll see glimmers of where his potential will be," Guggenheim says. There was actually a line cut from an episode where Thea (Willa Holland) called Roy "Speedy," to which he replied that it's a dumb nickname. "Tell me about it," was her retort.
Arrow returns Wednesday, March 20 at 8/7c on The CW.

Home insurance and what happens when the policyholder dies continues to be a hot topic as I address a letter sent to my editors from the Insurance Bureau of Canada concerning advice I gave in my column last week.
Anne Morin, public relations spokesperson for the IBC, explains in a detailed letter (I am paraphrasing from the French) that home insurance contracts cover not only the homeowner and the house but also the married spouse and their children for matters of insuring belongings and public liability. According to Morin, if the widow was indeed married to the deceased, she would be insured in the event of a fire or other loss covered by the existing policy.
This is certainly reassuring in the short term for the widow whose case I discussed last week, but does it mean that her worried friend had no need to be concerned that the widow had neither advised the insurance company of her husband's death nor made any move to put the home and insurance policy in her name after a year?
I put myself in the shoes of any consumer and I checked out the IBC's website to see what I could find on this question. Not surprisingly, I found nothing specific about the consequences of the death of a home insurance policyholder, but I did find what the IBC had to say about contract renewals and the divulging of information to an insurance company.
Here's an excerpt from the industry's Code of Consumer Rights and Responsibilities: "To maintain your protection against loss, you must promptly inform your insurance company or broker or agent of any change in your circumstances."
I also found the following tip: "Tell the truth: When talking to your insurance representative, don't 'forget' any details. If you neglect to disclose some important information about you or whatever you are insuring, this could cause big problems down the line."
I don't know about you, but I'm thinking the death of the named policyholder is a material change in circumstances and I sure wouldn't want "big problems down the line."
Don't get me wrong, I think it is commendable that Morin of the IBC took the trouble to help me provide valuable information to the public. I recommend that anyone interested in learning more about any type of insurance product consult www.ibc.ca/en/ as it features a number of educational videos and articles about frequently asked questions and insurance problems.
I was also able to speak to a very helpful service person at the IBC help line at 1-877-288-4321 who confirmed that in the case of our widow, her home insurance claim would still be considered but it would take more time because there would be questions to settle about her status as beneficiary. However, both the IBC service person and indeed Morin emphasized that, as with any ongoing contract of the deceased, it was important for the widow/liquidator of the husband's estate to change the name on the home insurance policy to that of the widow.
This was the point of my advice last week. Just when you are at your most vulnerable, i.e. after the death of a spouse, is not the time to leave financial and legal affairs to assumptions and chance.

Tuolumne Woman Owns Home Outright
POSTED: 3:58 pm PDT May 26, 2010
UPDATED: 5:53 pm PDT May 26, 2010
TUOLUMNE, Calif. — Nancy Willmes paid cash for her Tuolumne home in 2001. So she was quite surprised when Bank of America send her a notice of default on the property in February.
"I honestly felt like Bank of America was trying to steal my property," Willmes said.
She contacted Bank of America to try to find out why the bank believed it could foreclose on property she had purchased outright.
Willmes has chain-of-ownership records, which show Bank of America had sold the property to Fannie Mae years earlier. Fannie Mae foreclosed on the previous owner, and Willmes purchased the property with cash from Fannie Mae.
But Willmes said Bank of America did not care about the documentation.
The bank proceeded with the foreclosure, placing ads in the local paper and nailing a foreclosure notice to her door.
"I called the title company, the title company called B of A, and they refused to rescind it," Willmes said.
Fearful she would lose her home to the bank, Willmes called KCRA Call 3, and a Call 3 volunteer contacted Bank of America.
Willmes said that's when Bank of America began returning her phone calls.
The bank rescinded the notice of trustee sale, stopping the foreclosure.
In a statement to KCRA 3, Bank of America said the problem was a system error. It said it updated its records and canceled the sale.
"This is my whole life. This is my future," Willmes said. "I've got to thank you guys for basically giving me back my home. That is a big relief."

causes of sciatica pain
Deep tissue sports massage techniques can be applied to the lower back and buttocks to release muscle tension, particularly in chronic conditions. Acupuncture or dry needling can also help reduce chronic tension in muscles.
Begin extension exercises as soon as pain allows. What can a Physical Therapist or GP do? Determine the cause of the sciatic pain. Prescribe anti-inflammatory medication e.g. ibuprofen or muscle relaxants.
relief is simple enough. It takes a daily approach to change the habits your body has that led to your
. Statistics show that over 92% of back pain conditions are not caused by physical trauma or physical stress. They are caused by the accumulation of daily general and emotional stresses.
Well I have some good news and some bad news... The Bad News is this is just a dream. You will see countless web sites selling their miracle cure for
and back pain, yet the majority of these just don't work. Sure some will help, but you want permanent
relief (more on that soon - the good news).
For Appointments, Please Contact Dr. Kranthi R Vardhan, Chief Physician & Managing Director, The Kerala Ayurvedic Care,
& Spinal Research Institute, Basheerbagh, Hyderabad-29. Ph: 92461 66636 / 98666 66055 / 66101140 on all days from 8am - 8pm strictly with a prior appointment.
Dr Graeme Teague is an expert in the structural field, and has been in practice since 1991. His newly launched web site The Back Pain Advisor - http://www.back-pain-advisor.com - strives to give you valuable and expert advice, tips and information on your back pain issues.
is caused by 5 potential factors: 1 - Muscle Tightness: especially the Piriformis muscle if tight will cause sciatica. 2- Muscle Weakness: most commonly the abdominal muscle group (this is a lack or nerve and blood supply, not lack of doing sit-ups).
Apply heat or a hot bath may help to relieve muscle spasm. Use a heat retainer or back brace can provide support in the early stages. See a sports injury specialist or doctor.
There are torsional or twisting forces applied to the pelvic girdle when the lower limbs are moved. These limbs act like long levers and without the sacroiliac joints and the pubic symphysis (at the front of the pelvis) which allow movement, the pelvis would very likely be subject to a fracture.
Use electrotherapy equipment to treat affected tissues. If indicated and safe to do, level the pelvis via manipulation. Articulate sacroiliac joint and restore normal function.

I don't want to seem like I'm putting these others down, but to have complete and permanent
relief; you need to address all the causes of your back pain. And the good news is...
What other injuries are related or similar? Piriformis syndrome Sciatica Sacroiliac joint pain. The Sacroiliac joint Is? The Sacroiliac Joints are located at the bottom of the back. You have one either side of the spine. The Sacroiliac joints help make up the rear part of the pelvic girdle and sit between the sacrum and the ilia.
Symptoms Acute low back pain. Pain radiating down the leg. This pain may be sharp and accompanied by pins and needles and / or numbness.
Specific assessment tests: The Stork test - to assess weather the sacroiliac joint is moving correctly. Leg length difference measurements - both straight leg and bent leg assessments.
Today, you may not have to live with that pain anymore. We at THE KERALA AYURVEDIC CARE,
& SPINAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE, Basheerbagh, and Hyderabad have successfully Treated Lower Back Pain resulting from herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs. Our Meru Chikitsa (Ayurveda Neuro Therapy) enables patients to return to more active lifestyles.
What are the similar or related injuries and conditions? Ankylosing Spondylitis Myofascial pain Low back pain Coping with Sciatica
Sounds amazing doesn't it? Is it possible to be pain free in just minutes and never have to worry about your back pain or sciatica returning? Imagine being able to do everything you wish without the fear of pain.
The Good News is that complete and permanent sciatica relief is possible. It also does not take months to achieve, but it does take consistent effort. Not a large effort but a daily routine of teaching your body to work better. Why?
There are also other factors, but these are the main causes. So for complete and permanent sciatica relief, you need to address all these issues. The muscle and joint imbalances are easy to address with simple targeted techniques. The stress and general health issues are just as easy if you use techniques to address these at the same time.
It is the last minor activity that can tip the scales and cause your pain. Too remove it again, you need to rebalance the scales with the targeted structural techniques and address the true causes with simple effective techniques. Then you have the "miracle"
3 - Joint Disruption: the pelvis and lower back from the sciatic nerve, if their mobility is less then the sciatic nerve becomes irritated. 4 - Stress: yes good old stress. Stress tightens muscles, slows healing and leads to most of the underlying causes of any health problem.
Pain is usually relieved by lying down, often on one side. Pain is often better in the morning after a nights rest. Scoliosis or an S shaped or bent spine as seen from behind is often present with the patient bending away from the side of pain.
No matter how long or how severe your
is, it does take time to remove your pain. Not a long time, but time all the same. You need to address the causes and symptoms after all. They have taken time to arrive and they will take time to disappear.
Before we look at a few exercises for
it is important to understand what
is. Often misused and not clearly defined,
is not a diagnosis in itself but in actuality
is a set of symptoms being caused by another medical issue, most often a slipped or herniated disk. The term sciatica refers to the pain caused when one ore more of the nerves exiting the lower spine are being compressed or irritated. These nerves exiting the lower spines make up the sciatic nerve. A herniated or slipped disk is not the only medical condition that can cause sciatica but it is the most common.
Symptoms include: Pain located either to the left or right of your lower back. The pain can range from an ache to a sharp pain which can restrict movement.
The intervertebral discs are filled with a soft liquid in the middle called nucleus pullouts and when a disc prolapses this liquid squeezes out and puts pressure on the spinal cord compressing the nerve routes and causing pain.
The pain may radiate out into your buttocks and low back and will often radiate to the front into the groin. Occasionally it is responsible for pain in the testicles among males.
Are you looking for a "miracle"
cure? Do you want to use an exercise that takes less than a minute to do and permanently removes your
once and for all? Would you like to be 100% pain free in just 2 minutes from now?
After the acute painful phase Restore pain free movement to the back through mobilization and stretching techniques. Ensure posture and correct lifting techniques are learned and maintained.
What can a Physical Therapist professional do? Manipulate and mobilize the segments of the lumbar spine. This is a good way of assessing whether the lumbar spine is a cause of buttock pain. If it is then symptoms will be relieved.
Strengthen the core stabilizing muscles of the spine.
Terry O'Brien
Apply electrical stimulation in the form of a Tens machine or Interferential. Apply ultrasound treatment. Operate on a slipped disk if neurological signs (nerve related symptoms) continue or worsen.
What People Said About
sciatica natural back pain treatment
I found Sciatol in google. I didnt belive it could work for me, but i ordered anyway just because of the money back promise. Ive been taking it for a month and I noticed my lower back pain is almost gone. Thank you!
" Peter
Use sports massage techniques to relax tight muscles. Gently apply mobilization techniques to the spine. Use traction or advise on the use of and Inversion Table.
Depending on where the sciatic nerve is pinched will determine where you feel the pain which can radiate to the front of the knee or right down the back of the leg to the foot. The L5-S1 disc is the disc most commonly damaged and the L4-L5 disc the next most commonly damaged.
5 - General Health: especially your digestion. The bowel and the low back have the same nerve supply, hence if you suffer constipation, gas or wind or any bowel irregularity then you can suffer low back pain or
Occasionally there may be referred pain into the lower limb which can be mistaken for sciatica. Classic symptoms are difficulty turning over in bed, struggling to put on shoes and socks and pain getting your legs in and out of the car.
A Pain deep in the cheeks of your bottom can be referred from the lower back. There does not necessarily have to be pain in the lower back as well for pain to be referred into the buttocks.
Inflammation of the sacroiliac joints and associated ligaments are very common, especially following pregnancy where the hormone relaxing is released and this results in the relaxation of ligaments in preparation for childbirth. In most cases the causes of sacroiliitis are mechanical, however there may be other medical inflammatory conditions present such as Ankylosing Spondylitis as well as others which will need attention.
We are dedicated to improving the health and function of our patients by combining Traditional Ayurveda Panchakarma Chikitsa with modern technology to deliver an unprecedented level of service. Till to date we have treated more than 33000 patients with Spinal conditions like: Herniated Discs Bulging Discs Degenerative Disc Disease
Syndrome Spondylosis (Cervical /Lumbar/ Ankylosing).
They quite happily allow flexion and extension (bending forwards and backwards), lateral flexion (sideways movement) and twisting. However a combination of the two can put excess stress on the spine and damage the discs. This is particularly common in people who may lift heavy objects and twist with them for example unloading heavy boxes off the back of a lorry.
Stiffness in the lower back when getting up after sitting for long periods and when getting up from bed in the morning. Aching to one side of your lower back when driving long distances.
Our commitment is To Improve the Quality of Life for those with Spine Disorders; To advance the understanding and Treatment of those conditions through Research, Prevention and Education; and To deliver the finest quality Spine Care in a Friendly and Compassionate Environment, Treating every patient with the same Care and Respect we would demand for ourselves.
Take great care and avoid straining that delicate structure called the 'Spine'.
A prolapsed disc or slipped disc as it is sometimes known is not simply a disc that has 'slipped' out of place. Intervertibral discs separate the bones of the spine (or vertebrae) and their function is to act as shock absorbers or cushioning for the spine and allow movement.
These joints can often get stuck or in some cases one half of the pelvis can glide forwards or backwards, which is often referred to as a twisted pelvis. When this occurs it often irritates the Iliolumbar ligament which results in Inflammation. This is usually indicated by tenderness around the bony lumps which you can feel if you place your thumbs either side of your lower back.
There may be muscle spasm in the lower back. Tenderness in the lower back when pressing in. Pain on the straight leg raise test which is not apparent when just stretching the hamstring only.
Sports massage will help relieve any soft tissue tension in the area. Use injection therapy. Advise Ice and cold therapy to reduce inflammation.
Sciatica treatment A Short Rest in bed if necessary in a position that is comfortable. A doctor may prescribe NSAID's (non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen. Should always be taken under the direction of a doctor and do not if the patient has asthma.
Sciatica is a pain that starts in the back and radiates down one of the legs. It is quite a common complaint and is
is caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve which runs down into the leg. The medical term is acute nerve root compression. The cause of pressure can be varied from a Slipped (Prolapsed) disk to muscle tension (Piriformis syndrome) or something less common such as a tumors, bony growths and infections.
What are the symptoms of pain referred from the back? An aching in the buttocks that is difficult to pinpoint. The slump test may reproduce buttock pain which is eased when the neck is relaxed back (extended).
Eliminate medical diseases such as Ankylosing Spondylitis.. Treat the cause as well as the symptoms. Prescribe anti-inflammatory medication (e.g. ibuprofen) and rest.
Begin an exercise programme that will stretch and strengthen the muscles supporting the lumbar spine. Stretch the gluteal muscles and hip rotator muscles.
Pain is often triggered by a minor movement such bending over to pick something up. Pain may be worse by sitting, lifting, coughing or sneezing.
Areas of the lumbar spine may be tender and have poor mobility. Tight gluteal muscles and other muscles of the buttocks. What can I do? See a Physical Therapist who can identify the problems in the lower spine.
Ilia rotation - this assesses weather the ilia is rotated on one side creating imbalance. What can a Physical Therapist or GP do? Use diagnostic tests to discover the cause of the problem.
The medical term for
is a radiculopathy, which means that a spinal disc has extended beyond its normal position and is irritating the radicular nerve (nerve root) in the lower back, which connects with the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve branches off as it travels down the lower extremity through the back of the leg, and thus pain can be experienced along this route. Even though it may seem counterintuitive, healing sciatica pain through exercise is better than bed rest. Resting for a day or two after the patients sciatica flares up is acceptable, but inactivity after this time will usually make the pain worse. Your back muscles and spinal structure become deconditioned without exercise and movement and are less able to support the back. Leading to strain and further back injury this deconditioning and weakening is the most common reason for additional back pain. If you want to have healthy spinal discs you need to make sure that you are exercising. Nutrients and fluids are exchange within discs through movement and help to keep them healthy. The focus of most
exercises are on strengthening the back and abdominal muscles to provide more strength and support for your back. If you have muscles that cause pain when they are tight and inflexible, stretching exercises for
targeted muscles is recommended. When you partake in stretching and strengthening exercises, the average patient will recover more quickly from a sciatica episode and prevent future flare ups of the pain. Because sciatic pain is not caused by the same ailments, specific
exercises are recommended depending on the cause of the pain. Its just like bringing your car into the mechanic, if the muffler is the problem then rotating the wheels will most likely not fix the problem. A certified athletic trainer, physical therapist, chiropractor or or spine specialist who deals with back and leg pain associated with sciatica may recommend a treatment program with exercise being a part of it. Making sure you are properly diagnosed before starting a specific
exercise program is important because, while it is rare, sciatica pain can be cause by serious medical conditions such as a tumor or infection that require prompt medical attention. I was going to list an assortment of exercises that one could do but I don't think with what I have said in my above statement that this would be a good idea. Self diagnosis can often lead to further injury so I stick to what I wrote and recommend that before you start specific
exercises you should consult one of the above recommended specialists and discuss a treatment plan with a professional.

Artwork on a Morgan County barn has been chosen to represent Colorado in a new redwork ornament kit by historic needlework designer, The Posy Collection.
The "Bow tie" design on Bill and Nancy Lauck's barn is also featured in the book, "Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement," by Suzi Parron and Donna Sue Groves.
Barn quilts from 16 states were selected for the redwork kit, which features a form of needle art that uses red thread on natural-colored muslin.
"Barn quilts are colorful patterns of quilt squares painted on panels and hung on barns and buildings that capture the spirit of American quilting and local heritage," said Posy Lough, owner of the Posy Collection. "We took some of the more iconic ones and put them together in a kit for quilt lovers and stitchers to enjoy."
In addition to being a work of art, each barn quilt tells a story unique to its owner or property in which it is placed. Nancy Lauck's barn, for example, actually includes a sampler of 16 quilt squares, one of which is in the form of a bowtie whose colors represent her sons and sons-in-law.
Groves, to whom the kit is dedicated, conceived of the barn quilt concept. She worked with her Ohio community to create the first quilt trail to honor her mother, thus inspiring the quilt trail movement. Now, thousands of barns across the United States feature quilt-like designs.
Lough and Parron worked together to choose the patterns and interpret them for the redwork design. The kit includes patterns for stitched ornaments featuring barn kits from 16 states. Kits can be purchased online at barnquiltinfo.com.
Other states with barn quilts featured in the redwork kit include: Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, New York, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia, Iowa, Texas, Ohio, Oregon, Missouri, Minnesota and Georgia.
The Posy Collection has been translating American history into needlework kits for more than
Suzi Parron's book "Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement," published in 2012, documents hundreds of designs across several states.
two decades. Designs depict everything from presidential homes and historic sites to natural wonders and famous Americans.

The third generation BMW X3 is a premium mid-sized SUV with some very strong competition. Just as well then, that the Munich maker has delivered a very strong package. Jonathan Crouch takes a look at what's on offer.
Ten Second Review
BMW's third generation X3 is a premium mid-sized SUV that's a larger, plusher and more powerfully efficient choice than its predecessor, stacking up impressively against prestigiously-badged alternatives from Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar and Volvo in this sector. Like its rivals, dynamically targeted almost exclusively towards on-road use, it's another example of just how car-like a model of this kind can be.
It isn't often that BMW gets it wrong - and even when it does, it usually still manages to turn a profit. Their original X3 compact SUV was a case in point, launched in 2004 to more affordably extend the reach of this Bavarian brand's road-biased SUV model range following the success of the larger all-conquering X5. But early X3s felt cheap, rode poorly and, even by the modest tarmac-orientated standards of the class, were woefully short of any kind of off-road ability. The second generation version, launched in 2010, was much better, but - in this country at least - it still lagged behind its arch-rival Audi's Q5, in terms of perceived desirability. Much has changed since 2010 of course. BMW launched a second generation X1 model in late 2015 that trod uncomfortably on the toes of lower X3 derivatives. And the X3's task was made even harder by the launch in 2016 of a Mercedes entrant (the GLC) in the mid-sized premium-badged SUV segment and the introduction of a second generation Audi Q5 model in early 2017, to join other key rivals like Volvo's XC60, Jaguar's F-PACE, Alfa Romeo's Stelvio and the Lexus NX. It all means that the X3 needs to re-assert itself. Can this third generation model do just that?
Driving Experience
You might think that sandwiched between the X1 and the X5, the X3 wouldn't have to spread its talents too broadly, but such is the span of rivals of this size that this third generation X3 needs to cater for quite different customer expectations in the compact luxury SUV segment. If those expectations extend towards a dynamic driving experience, then the X3 comes well prepared. With ideal 50:50 weight distribution, a finely honed chassis and xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive, linked to Dynamic Stability Control, this SUV proudly shows off the handling characteristics for which the Munich maker is renowned. To further improve dynamics, the car is now lighter and rear bias of BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system has been increased. As for engines, well as before, most buyers will choose a diesel, probably the 190bhp 2.0-litre xDrive 20d variant. There's also a 265bhp straight-six xDrive30d diesel derivative. And a potent 326hp M40d variant. BMW thinks that petrol power will get more of a take-up this time round, so is offering an entry-level xDrive 20i version, plus there's a range-topping 360bhp X3 M40i variant to take on rivals like Audi's SQ5. As usual with the brand, there's an optional Dynamic Damper Control system, optional Variable sport steering and an optional sports braking set-up. BMW also boasts that a fording depth of 500 millimetres gives this SUV decent off road ability too. Across the range, 8-speed auto transmission is standard.
Design and Build
The exterior dimensions of this third generation X3 are largely unchanged, but its five-centimetre-longer wheelbase, long bonnet and short front overhang emphasise its 50:50 weight distribution between front and rear axle. At the front, the chunky three-dimensional kidney grille and LED fog lamps feature a hexagonal design for the first time on a BMW X model. Moving to the rear, the three-dimensional LED light clusters, downward-sloping roof spoiler and twin exhaust pipes further enhance the appearance.The interior of the this X3 follows BMW tradition with a driver-focused and ergonomically designed cockpit. Hexagonal forms and precise, bevelled edges are a distinct design theme. The material quality and fit and finish are of a class above what you'd expect for a mid-range SAV, as you'd expect from a BMW, while it is also impressively functional, with more cabin stowage compared to its predecessor.To further improve comfort in the rear compartment, the angle of the standard 40:20:40 split/folding rear seat backrests can be adjusted individually and through various stages thanks to the optional rear comfort seat. This feature also allows the backrests to be released remotely from the load compartment, which expands the standard load capacity of 550-litres to 1,600-litres.
Market and Model
Pricing has risen a bit this time round, presumably to give the only slightly smaller BMW X1 SUV slightly more elbow room. The figures start at around £38,000 and rise to around £52,500 for the top M40d model. All variants come with xDrive 4WD and 8-speed auto transmission. Whichever variant you select, it'll be easy to spend more than you budgeted or, thanks to a wider range of tempting options. Optional perforated leather climate seats will be popular, perhaps fitted out with active seat ventilation. Another option is a generously sized panoramic glass roof, while optional acoustic front side windows will complement the standard acoustic windscreen glazing to help create even lower noise levels in the cabin. In basic specification, the X3 now has 18-inch light-alloy wheels (it had 17-inchers previously), while wheels up to 21-inches in diameter are available depending on the specification and engine variant. A nice touch this time round is the optional BMW Display Key - like the one found on the BMW 5 Series and 7 Series. The Display Key offers a series of additional features, keeping the driver informed of fuel levels and any service or maintenance work due, and letting them know that the windows and sunroof are closed. Plus, it can also be used to operate the optional auxiliary heating.
Cost of Ownership
As you'd expect from a current BMW, emissions are low and fuel economy is excellent. To give you an idea of how far we've come, when the MK1 X3 was first launched in the UK in 2004, its 3.0-litre engine made 231bhp and emitted 293g/km of carbon dioxide. The benefit of a decade's engineering is evident in the fact that today's M40i flagship variant develops 360bhp and emits just 188g/km - the combined cycle fuel figure is 34.5mpg. As for the diesel variants, well today's 265bhp xDrive30d model will get 49.6mpg from a gallon of fuel and 149g/km of CO2, which is impressive for a six cylinder diesel SUV. Go for the entry-level X3 sDrive20d and you'll see 56.5mpg and emit 132g/km. As usual with the brand, there's a 'Driving Experience Control' set-up that lets you switch between drive modes, one of which is 'ECO PRO', a setting that focuses all of the car's systems on achieving ultimate frugality. An overall weight reduction of 55kgs and sleeker aerodynamics also help here, this X3 boasting a class-leading drag coefficient of 0.29Cd. This has been achieved thanks to aerodynamic enhancements including a roof spoiler with aero edges at the sides and an 'Active Air Stream' system, which regulates the flow of cooling air for the engine, brakes and air conditioning.
This X3 has come of age in third generation guise. If it struggles to match the profitability of its predecessor, then that'll be because competition in the premium mid-sized SUV sector is so much tougher these days. This model is, after all, an immeasurable improvement over the MK2 version in every possible way. Even the best of this car's prestige rivals can't match this one's hugely impressive blend of handling and efficiency. It feels up-market, it rides impressively and, thank goodness, on-tarmac, it drives just as a BMW should. All of which means that buyers in this sector who can afford the asking price should find that this X3 adds up very nicely indeed. Assuming that they don't prioritise off road ability of course: few will. A vehicle this good ought to speak for itself. Try one and we think you'll find that it does.

The Arduino Micro is a DIP module that features an ATmega32U4 microcontroller which provides 20 digital I/O pins (of which seven can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs). The board provides a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a micro-USB connection, an ICSP header, and a reset button. This DIP module features two single rows of male header pins (0.1" spacing, 0.6" wide) on the bottom that allow it to be inserted into solderless breadboards for easy access to and wiring of all ATmega32U4 pins.
The Micro is similar to the Leonardo in that the ATmega32U4 has built-in USB capability, eliminating the need for a secondary processor as found on other Arduino boards. This allows the Micro to appear to a connected computer as a mouse and keyboard in addition to a virtual (CDC) serial/COM port. It also has other implications for the behavior of the board particularly reset behavior. It also means that there are now separate Serial and Serial1 classes for the virtual serial driver and the hardware serial port, respectively. This also has an effect on the capabilities and assignments of some pins, e.g. SPI and TWI.
This ATmega32U4 board is pre-programmed with the Arduino bootloader that allows you to upload code to it via USB using the open-source Arduino development environment.
See also the mapping between Arduino pins and ATmega32U4 ports reference.
The SoftwareSerial library allows for serial communication on any of the Micro's digital pins. The ATmega32U4 also supports I2C (TWI) and SPI communication. The Arduino software includes a Wire library to simplify use of the I2C bus. For SPI communication, use the SPI library.
The Micro appears as a generic keyboard and mouse, and can be programmed to control these input devices using the Keyboard and Mouse classes.
The ATmega32U4 on the Arduino Micro comes pre-burned with a bootloader that allows you to upload new code to it without the use of an external hardware programmer. It communicates using the AVR109 protocol. It is possible to bypass the bootloader and program the microcontroller through the ICSP header instead; see these instructions for details.
Because of the way the Micro handles reset, it's best to let the Arduino software try to initiate the reset before uploading code, especially if you are in the habit of pressing the reset button before uploading on other boards. If the software can't reset the board, you can always start the bootloader by pressing the reset button on the board.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "While I busied myself with the training of young wizards, Grindelwald was raising an army."
- —Albus Dumbledore[src]
An army of wizards and witches followed the Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald in the early twentieth century. They sought to create a worldwide wizarding empire, which would overturn the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy and force the Muggle population into slavery under their motto: "For the Greater Good"
Years after his birth, Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald formed an army of witches and wizards to create an empire and force the Muggles into submission. At the centrepiece of this cruel plan was the Deathly Hallows, which, united, Grindelwald believed would make him and his followers invincible.
After a number of years terrorising Europe, the army's leader, Grindelwald, was defeated by Albus Dumbledore. While the army's status at this time is unknown, it can be assumed that the remaining members were hunted down and arrested by wizarding authorities, or killed for resisting, or possibly had dissolved into hiding.
Behind the Scenes
This army was presumably Grindelwald's answer to Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters and also of their intentions, mainly to have domination over the world.

FLEFF Intern Voices
The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view
Thursday, March 8, 2012
Blog posting written by Andrew Ronald, Film, Photography & Visual Arts '15, FLEFF Intern, Mahopac, New York
Attention all cinephiles! The FLEFF 2012 Film Descriptions and Trailers page is up!
Now of course every film that will be screened during FLEFF week is fantastic and everyone should come see as many as possible, but here is just a laconic list featuring the top five movies I am most excited for:
1. Art & Copy
Can creativity really solve anything? This documentary directed by Doug Pray draws on a struggle any artist can relate to: finding inspiration. Creating a dynamic binary between the advertising industry and the most influential creative visionaries of our time, this film aims to expel the stigmas associated with a supposedly "manipulative business." And it has a really pretty movie poster.
Calling all film enthusiasts! If you never got the opportunity to see the infamous "stoic man" of the 1920's on the big screen, then head over to Cinemapolis to check out this cinematic classic. Specializing in vaudeville comedy and dominating the silent film era, Buster Keaton proved that shorts could be just as satisfying as feature-length films, all while hilarity ensues (even in something as simple as Keaton's desperate flight from the police in his short Cops.)
3. The Fairy
"A whimsical comedy featuring a shoeless fairy and the hotel night clerk." With a description like this, how could you not want to see this movie? Through this film's jovial narrative, a seemingly realistic atmosphere manifests into a fantastical romance. Spoiler alert: the fairy can grant wishes too!
Let me clarify: I didn't pick this film just because it's about one of my favorite cuisines (although it certainly did help me refine my list). The film traces the origin of sushi back to Japan, as I'm sure you all already knew, and documents the evolution of this delicacy in its attempt to please the hungry public to something as mass-producing as fast food restaurants themselves. This transition, however, occurred with such celerity that it upset the ocean's ecological balance, and this issue is touched upon as well.
Brought to you by the director of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, the film marries elegance and drama by integrating the all-too familiar issue of marital infidelity into the narrative. The husband has a clandestine affair with his daughter's dentist and must now choose between this unstable, yet exciting relationship with his lover and the stable romance he has shared with his faithful wife for ten years. Emotional. Sensational. Engaging. Go see it.
I wish I could have written about every film as they all sound exciting and satisfyingly establish their own microtopia, but I am more interested in knowing which movies you FLEFFers are most excited for!

On 23 February 2008, 40 representatives of 26 Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) from Italy, Germany; Ireland, Spain, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands met to launch the CIVILSCAPE network. This network of NGOs has been founded to facilitate and encourage people to connect to their landscape and feel responsibility for it. CIVILSCAPE's objective is to support the Florence Convention (the Council of Europe's Landscape Convention).
The activities to be organized by CIVILSCAPE will include awareness raising for the qualities of landscape, international exchanges of experience and knowledge about landscape management and planning, the development of a common strategy to influence landscape policies, and the identification of joint international projects.
The meeting took place in Villa Careggi, a 15th century Medici Villa in Florence. Massimo Gregorini, Director of Landscape in the Tuscan Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Trade stated: 'The foundation of CIVILSCAPE is an essential step in the process of carrying the Florence Convention into society. We are pleased to co-operate and facilitate this initiative, and we offer working space in the Villa Careggi for the network's office, together with the other two networks around the Florence Convention, ENELC and UNISCAPE.'
An action plan was drafted by members. In addition to current members, twelve additional NGOs have expressed an interest in joining CIVILSCAPE in the near future. Gerrit-Jan van Hewaarden of Landschapsbeheer in the Netherlands was nominated President, and Bas Pedroli of PETRARCA European Academy for the Culture of Landscape as Secretary.

Specifically, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated two of the last seven blocks of Net addresses that use today's Internet Protocol verision 4 (IPv4). That will trigger the automatic distribution soon of the last five, one each to the five regional Internet registries (RIR) that oversee the distribution of the numbers farther downstream, to the Internet service providers and other companies that actually need the IPv4 addresses
Is your ISP ready for the switch? The last blocks have been reserved for companies that truly need IPv4 and the rest of the world has to move over to IPv6. Unfortunately, the two aren't 100% compatible, and that means that this could be the next major issue (with the first being the 2000 date problems)
