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
