...Health Tips for Back Pain by Pauline Dominique C. Tarrazona, R.N., L.M.T Prevalence of Back Pain The incidence of low back pain is high anywhere in the world. According to the World Health Organization’s Health Statistics and Health Information System’s database, back pain together with neck pain is second to Unipolar Depressive Disorders on the top ten list of diseases and injuries that account for the highest number of disability-adjusted life year (DALYs) worldwide. DALY is a measure of the overall burden of disease expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability or early death. The data showed that, second to Unipolar Depressive Disorders, a lot of people affected have lived with the burden of neck and back pain for more years than any other diseases. In fact, the lifetime prevalence of non-specific low back pain in industrialized countries is 60-70%. This is much higher than in developing countries. But any source you find would tell you that it is a leading cause of disability and thus missed work and other important activities, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point in their lives. The causes of Back Pain The causes of back pain are rarely specific or singular. Most cases result from a variety of factors and only a minority of the cases of back pain result from physical causes. These are some of the causes of back pain in people: * Poor posture (sitting, standing, sleeping, bending) * Intense exercise without proper warm-up...

...Pecans Pecans are one in a short list of foods rich in vitamin E, a nutrient that's vital to skin health. By forming a protective barrier in the cell membranes of your skin, the vitamin E in pecans helps to ward off harmful free radicals and therefore helps to keep skin firm and elastic. Toasting pecans makes them incredibly buttery and rich — they're like candy! Spread pecans on an ungreased baking sheet and toast them in a preheated 350° oven (or a toaster oven) for about 5 to 10 minutes (watch them closely to make sure they don't burn). Enjoy them whole as a scrumptious snack, or chop them up and sprinkle them into oatmeal or low-fat yogurt. Carrots Like sweet potatoes, carrots come equipped with a generous supply of beta-carotene. In addition to its pivotal role in skin-cell renewal, beta-carotene acts as a potent antioxidant, sopping up damaging free radicals that accelerate skin aging. Fend off wrinkles with my recipe for Roasted Balsamic Carrots: Cut 1 pound of peeled carrots into half-inch wedges. Spread the carrots over half of a large sheet of aluminum foil, and sprinkle them with ¼ cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary, 2 cloves minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon paprika, and some salt and pepper. Drizzle the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and fold the foil over to create a tightly sealed packet. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400° oven for 25 minutes, or until the carrots are...

Berdine’s Chicken Factory has several stores in the Hilton Head, South Carolina, area. When interviewing applicants for server positions, the owner would like to include information on the amount of tip a server can expect to earn per check (or bill). A study of 500 recent checks indicated the server earned the following amounts in tips per 8-hour shift. Amount of Tip Number $0 up to $ 20 200 20 up to 50 100 50 up to 100 75 100 up to 200 75 200 or more 50 Total 500 a. What is the probability of a tip of $200 or more? .10 or 10% b. Are the categories “$0 up to $20,” “$20 up to $50,” and so on considered mutually exclusive? They are mutually exclusive because the 0-20 does no effect on the 20-50 group. One group has no causal...

...Simon sometimes tastes or senses the medication in his food and spits them out, but sometimes the medication goes undetected. He always wonders why he feels tired most of the time without doing any activities that may cause such feelings. Covert medication is described by Kala (2012, p. 1) as, ‘the practice of hiding medication in food or beverages so that it goes undetected by the person receiving the medication.’ Latha (2010) states that covert medication is one of the greatest challenges for healthcare professionals. The report goes on to state that healthcare professionals often covertly medicate service users because they refuse to take their prescribed medication when offered. In addition, the Royal College of Psychiatrists (2011) reported...

...I believe that being a Resident Assistant is far more than just a job that requires monitoring a floor or even unlocking doors, those things are only the tip of the iceberg. To be a Resident Assistant means to be a role model, an advisor, a therapist, a problem solver, and a great deal of other responsibilities are expected of such a person. Even though this is my first semester at Governors State University and I am considered a new student here, I am not new to college. My first experience with learning what a Resident Assistant was, was when I attended SIU in Edwardsville, during my freshman year of college. My RA that year was very personable and down to earth. She made certain hours throughout the day available in her room, if a student needed to ask questions, share comments, or even make suggestions. She also hosted different miniature gatherings on the floor, so we could get to know our fellow peers. Those encounters with my RA at the time, inspired me to want to be in a position where I could contribute to or even create that same environment for other students. When I saw the opportunity posted to become a Resident Assistant at GSU, I was eager to apply. I feel that my personal experiences and challenges I have faced during my years of college and the way I have recovered from those experiences, shows adversity, goal-orientation, and determination. I am willing to shed light on those experiences and help other incoming students who may struggle with getting acclimated...

...bambooimport.com A short film commissioned by INBAR for the World Expo in Shanghai, profiling bamboo - and its many innovative uses as a strong, lightweight, sustainable, carbon capturing material, including surfboards, bikes and building materials. The challenges we face today is to further improve and innovate the uses of bamboo. Since bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and a sustainable building material, it could easily substitute all known wood applications without having to cut down entire bamboo groves or plantations. Better yet, bamboo continuously grows after harvest without having to re-plant it. Bamboo also converts about 35% more CO2 into oxygen than a regular tree. The bamboo products we see on the market today, are just the tip of the iceberg, we predict that more and more innovative bamboo applications will enter the consumer markets rapidly. Therefore it is an exciting era to live in if you are also a firm believer of how bamboo can contribute to a greener and cleaner environment. We can't change our consumption based economy, but we can certainly change the resources we use and the way we manufacture our products! Below is a list of common uses for bamboo. Please note that not all bamboo species are suited for every single application. Some species are edible while most are not, some can be used as structural timber while other only...

...Tho Pham ESL 51 First Draft Tip or Not? It is a beautiful Sunday night; your family chooses a famous Italian restaurant in the area to have dinner. As you are very pleased with the service, you decide to write down 20% of the bill to give to the waitress as tips. This happens every day around the country. Although there are some dissidents of this long-standing tipping custom whose reason is tipping provokes conflict between servers, tipping should continue because it gives servers an incentive to work hard. In America’s restaurants, the custom is giving a 15% tip (To Insure Promptitude) to the servers. Every year 42 billion dollars of tips were granted to American servers, whose income greatly depends on tips. Recently a manager of a famed California restaurant, Jay Porter, decided to prohibit tipping. The price then included the tip, which is 18%, 15% of which belonged to the servers and the rest went to the kitchen staff. Research reveals that 80% of American diners favor tipping as they think tips incentivize servers to do good service and they feel guilty being served. From 10% in the early 20th century, the tipping rate has increased to18.9% today. While most of Mr. Porter’s customers accept the new policy, very few diners were still obliged to tip and that money went to the charity. Nonetheless, Porter’s restaurant is the only pioneer in the area and it will not likely draw many followers. Some opponents of tipping say that tipping does not create incentive but...

We were accommodated by tables that were neatly joined together with decorative cloths. The waitress introduced herself and offered drinks as we awaited the arrival of the rest of our party. I couldn't help but notice how clean the restaurant was and that the aroma was that of Italian seasoning. Silverware sat at your elbows neatly wrapped besides the menu that was placed at my fingertips.

...Bojangles, it’s a new restaurant in the neighborhood, which on the recommendation of a friend are planning to go dine a group of friends and me. I have great interest in this restaurant because after reading an article in the Daily Disappointment I was fascinated. After analyzing all options menu, the choices of drinks, desserts options and options for the tip. I concluded that I have a wide variety of options for choosing many of which are very similar in cost. Background Because we do not know the total amount of budget you have to spend that night, but what if I am sure it is a night where the costs are not so high. What I have done is a graph which is detailed each of the options for dinner that night; I have detailed each option for each meal, for each drink, for each dessert and for each tip. I need to figure out your costs depending on the decisions that I make. For instance: 1. Do I have a drink before dinner – accost; or do I not – a savings? 2. Do I have a drink at dinner – a cost or a savings? 3. Which entrée do I select – each with a cost? 4. Which dessert do I select – each with a cost? 5. How much do I tip the wait staff? These are the points I have to take into account to make the best decision and the best option, I know what I’ll pick the best because with the recommendations and what I read in this restaurant the food is very good, now what needed is to choose the menu and have a good cost. Decision In the tree I have detailed all the possible options...

...Alyssa Pimentel English 1301-232 Ms. Bullard October 20th 2013 Journal 2 – Tip Jar There are many dollars out there but none of them have the same serial number as me, That is why I am unique. Luckily I am not very old, only a couple years old. I have had plenty of homes in my short lifetime. I have almost been caught in a fire, I almost even drowned once. But the day I was finally taken out of the tip jar was the greatest adventure I have ever had. December 30th 1999, I was taken out of an old rusty can tip jar. As I was being stuffed into an envelope I screamed in excitement! “I’ll never have to smell this old bar again.” After being stuffed into the envelope I was thrown into a box, which was eventually tossed into the back of a plane. I thought, “This is going to be a great journey!” The air was hot and musty in the cargo I was flying in. I wished there were other dollars like me to talk to, but all there was were old hundred dollars bills and a couple of checks. The old hundred dollar bill seemed way to high class, hence he didn’t speak to me once, and dollar bills never dare speak to checks. So there I was, all alone in long, hot, boring plan ride. The sun was blazing when a ten year old took me out of his envelope. I lasted about twenty minutes in the hands of this child before I got completely drenched in ice cream. I was handed to an old man immediately after suffocating in ice cream. I was placed into a very old register, it smelt quite...
