before using Spine-Worx, as their skeletal framework may not be completely developed until they are 16-17 years old.
Spine-Worx is designed to apply pressure to the mid (thoracic) and lower (lumbar) back only. (Not designed for the neck (cervical).
Spine-Worx is portable and light-weight (2 lbs.) and can be taken on business trips, to the office or on vacation. (Product dimensions: 24x7x3).
Great for RVers and others who
travel a lot!
It could be the result of a misaligned spine.
Designed by a chiropractor, this natu-ral back support system uses your body's own weight to apply controlled pressure to the spinal vertebrae.
Benefits:
Spine-Worx helps to relieve mus-cular pain, pressure and irritation.
Spine-Worx is the best home ther-apy for the back in relieving ten-sion and stress.
Spine-Worx cradles and elevates the spine, isolating the vertebrae into a neutral position where gravi-ty takes over and allows the verte-brae to naturally and properly rea-lign.
Spine-Worx helps to relieve symp-toms common to misalignment problems, since the basic concept has to do with biomechanics and proper alignment.
Spine-Worx presents no chance of overdose or over-adjustment since the back conforms to its nor-mal and natural shape. (Our sug-gested use is ten-twenty minutes as needed.)
Any age group may be a candi-date for use of Spine-Worx. Chil-dren should seek medical advice
Remember:
The central nervous system begins in the brain, courses into the spine and runs throughout the entire human body. If you shut down nerve supply, you shut down the body.

5 Tips on Repainting Your
Home’s Interior
When it is time for repainting the interior of
your home, you can do it yourself with these
few simple tips rather than hiring someone.
Whether it is time to cover scuff marks, you
want to change your color scheme, or you
need to paint your walls a neutral shade to
help your house sell, these tips will help you
get your house looking like it was painted by
a professional house painter.
1. When repainting your home’s interior, opt
for low-VOC or no-VOC paint.
The healthiest solutions for repainting
your home is paint that has few or no
volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in it.
This is critical in a home where one of
the inhabitants has asthma, is sensitive
to chemicals or has a breathing disor-
der. If there are young children in the
house, you especially want to stick to
low-VOC or paitn with no VOCs in it as
their detoxifications systems for offload-
ing the VOCs is not fully formed and
they could be harmed by breathing the
VOC fumes.
Benjamin Moore’s has a Natura® paint
with zero VOCs, and many of the other
paint manufacturers offer a line of low-
VOC or no-VOC paint.
2. Preparing the walls before painting is a
very important step.
While this prepping step is time-
consuming and people often skip it, the
painting is much easier, faster, and
looks better when you first prep the
walls by:
Scraping or sanding the imperfections
from the walls, spackling holes, and
sanding to smooth the spackle
Cleaning the dust and other stuff off the
walls first makes the paint adhere bet-
ter. Use a vacuum for all but kitchen
and bath walls and scrub those.
Use painter’s tape wherever paint
should not end up, such as wood trim.
Cover or temporarily remove door
knobs.
Apply primer over a dark color and let it
dry before painting.
3. Paint the walls, not the furniture
No matter how hard we try, the reality
is that when we are working with a
paint roller, little speckles of paint fly off
in all directions. The best way to pre-
vent those speckles from getting all over
everything is to move the furniture out
entirely, but that often is not practical.
So, go to Family Dollar Store and get
lots of inexpensive plastic drop cloths
and cover everything including the floor.
Also be sure to take draperies, shades,
towel racks in the bathroom and kitchen
down. Remove wall hangings like mir-
rors, take up area rugs, and take off
switch plates and receptacle covers.
4. Get all of the materials for repainting
your home’s interior together
Gather you paint can opener, stirrers for
the paint, a paint tray and rollers, an ex-
tension pole for the paint rollers for the
ceilings, paint brushes, and gloves.
5. You are now ready to begin painting
Use an angled brush to paint into the
corners near the ceiling.
Use a small brush where the large
brush will not fit.
When you begin painting with the
rollers, paint walls with a roller in the
shape of a large letter W that
measures 3 feet by 3 feet. Then fill in
the blank spaces of the ‘W’ as you
are painting.
Repainting your home’s interior will go
smoothly with these simple tips.
5 Ways to Prevent Sitting Disease
Sitting Disease is not yet recognized by the
medical community as an official disease, but
to the people who end up with it, it is all too
real a malady. The term ‘Sitting Disease’ re-
fers to the negative physical symptoms such
as metabolic syndrome that a predominantly
sedentary lifestyle causes.
Sedentary lifestyles affect office workers, peo-
ple with conditions that preclude their being
able to exercise, and they especially affect re-
tired people.
What are the signs, symptoms, and warn-
ing signs of Sitting Disease?
Human bodies are not designed for prolonged
sitting, and when we sit for hours and hours at
our desks, we cause physical stress to our
bodies that even daily exercise cannot help.
Recent research has shown that we develop
problems with prolonged daily sitting:
People who sit for prolonged periods of
time daily are at a much greater risk of de-
veloping diabetes, heart disease, and of
dying prematurely.
Prolonged on-the-job sitting has been
linked to cancer and high blood pressure.
When you sit a lot, you are also a candi-
date for DVT, or deep vein thrombosis,
which means blood clots deep in your
veins, most often in the legs.
Sitting a lot can also be very detrimental to
your mental state and performance. The
reduced blood flow to your brain from a lot
of sitting means that your brain is receiving
a less than adequate amount of oxygen.
During prolonged sitting you metabolism
slows, and fat clearance also comes to a
halt, allowing weight gain and weight re-
tention.
When we sit a lot, our pelvis rotates back-
wards, putting pressure on our back’s lum-
bar discs, and forcing the head to move
forward and our shoulders to curve. This
results in back pain, shoulder pain, and
neck pain.
Osteoarthritis can also result from pro-
longed sitting.
Ways to prevent Sitting Disease
At first glance, you might think that going to
the gym at the end of the day is a good way to
protect your body from the ravages of Sitting
Disease.
Unfortunately, though, studies have shown
that people who sit all day and then exercise
at the end of the day are subject to the same
physical problems from Sitting Disease as
those who do not go to the gym. Here are
some ways you can avoid Sitting Disease:
No matter how engrossed you are in the
task at hand, get up every 45 to 60
minutes and do some form of physical ex-
ercise that gets your blood pumping.
When you get a phone call, pace around
your office while answering it.
Stay well-hydrated.
Get a treadmill desk, a standing desk, or
an active chair such as an exercise ball.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
If your feeling about exercise is “Whenever I
think of exercise, I lie down and wait for the
thought to pass,” here is a suggestion. Get a
copy of the song “I Like to Move It” used in the
Madagascar movies, and play it several times
daily as a motivational affirmation to get up
and move often. Let it inspire you to create a
healthier work style and a healthier you.
Expand Your Future by
Learning Java
Java is a programming language developed in
1995 by Sun Microsystems that uses English-
based commands rather than numeric codes.
It was originally designed for use on cell
phones, but fast became an internet tool be-
cause it allowed developers to produce ani-
mated web pages.
If you want to see a Java app, just open your
Android cell phone, as all their apps are writ-
ten in Java. Many of the internet apps used by
financial institutions are also written in Java,
especially the ones that allow electronic trad-
ing. Java is also used on many e-commerce
web sites, and it can also be found on many
healthcare, government, education and insur-
ance sites.
Give your career a boost with Java
According to IT world, a review of tech listings
for jobs done by International Tech Careers
and Salary Index determined that JavaScript
and Java are the two most important program-
ing languages employers want their new hires
to have. The technological sector is booming,
and programming jobs, according to Masha-
ble.com, are paying impressive salaries.
Java heads the list of most-wanted languages
by employers because of its ability to run not
only Windows systems but also on Mac OS X.
How to become a great Java programmer
1. Invest in your education.
Whether you are a beginner or already
have some coding skills, Java Develop-
ment Suite offers Java that teaches you
all you need to know to begin coding Java
programs. You can launch your career
with these skills.
2. Have fun with your coding.
Think outside the box. When you look at
code, consider ways you can make it
more robust. Coding is just as much an
art form as drawing or painting. Be crea-
tive with your coding.
Throw in whistles and bells and tweak
your code to the max. Truly great coders
are people who love coding and who live
to do it. Set your sights on being great
and do not settle for less.
3. Start small.
John Sonmex of JavaCodeGeeks.com
recommends once you have learned Java
that you start small. He suggests you cre-
ate a mobile app. Mobile apps are fairly
small and easy to deconstruct, add to and
tweak.
4. Market yourself.
Andrew C. Oliver, writing for Java-
World.com, says you can command more
work and a higher salary by marketing
yourself.
He recommends that you:
Create a blog and write on the subject
of creating Java script, ensuring that
your blog is well written and interest-
ing. (Before you post it, always ask
yourself if you would enjoy reading it.)
Write some open source code and
post it on the internet, as it shows peo-
ple what you can do.
Work up presentations explaining your
work, the facets of it, what it is de-
signed to do, and how it works
(without being too technical), and
practice delivering them until you are
proficient at explaining your work in
concise but understandable terms.
5. Hone your problem-solving skills.
The really great programmers do not just
write pretty code. They create solutions.
They bury their heads in a problem until
they come up with a solution to it.

The Plough Pose in Yoga
The plough pose is one of the favorites of all
the asanas for most people simply because do-
ing the pose feels good. It gives the entire
back side of the body a wonderful stretch, in-
creasing the flow of oxygen, blood and nerve
energy throughout the body. It also tends to
calm the mind and move people toward cen-
teredness.
Many of the same benefits that the shoulder
stand offers are seen in the plough pose, alt-
hough the leg muscles and the lower back re-
ceive a more intense stretch in the plough
pose than they do in the shoulder stand. The
abdominal muscles are folded in during the
plough pose rather than extended, as in the
shoulder stand. In this position, they provide a
massage for the internal organs.
The plough pose helps to extend the neck’s
cervical curve and the lower back’s lumbar
curve. Lack of space between the vertebrae of
the neck and back can cause many problems,
so the plough pose can also be seen as a pre-
ventative measure. The plough pose helps to
relieve numbness, pain, and lack of mobility in
the lower back, pelvic area, hip joints, feet,
legs and toes.
The muscles of both the lower back and the
neck are usually tighter on one side than they
are on the other. The plough pose helps to
stretch and balance the two sides of the body
in these areas. This can relieve headaches,
neck aches, and back aches. The plough pose
also helps tone both the arm and leg muscles,
and loosen stiff shoulders, knees, elbows, and
wrists. This pose also aids the endocrine sys-
tem.
The plough pose is safe for a beginning yoga
student as long as care is taken not to over-
stretch the neck and lower back muscles. Ini-
tially it needs to be held for no more than 30
seconds. It is also recommended that begin-
ners do not bring their feet all the way to the
floor.
From author and editor Arthur Plotnik:
“You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what’s burning inside you."
And I edit to let the fire show through the smoke.
Mark Twain once said,
“The difference between the right word and the nearly right word is the same as the difference be-
tween lightning and the lightning bug.”
The lightning, the fire, and the beauty is what I bring out in your work.
Your ideas, your voice, and the essence of the story you have told with your words remain un-
touched.
As writers, we can get so caught up in creating that we neglect:
Punctuation
Sentence form
Paragraph structure
in order to continue the flow of the artistic thoughts tumbling out of us.
While writing like this quite often produces a spell-binding piece of writing, it leaves behind a wealth of distractions for the reader.
These errors detract from the story line, especially when the reader gets lost in them.
Unfortunately, in re-reading our own work, it can be difficult to see these errors because our minds tend to gloss over them as we
read. This is a very natural thing that happens for all of us.
Most writers cannot critically edit their own work. If this describes you, let me edit your work to uncover the lightning, the fire and the
