Back pain is definitely the most common among the people. People of different age suffer from back pain. The researchers say 8 out of 10 Americans have some problems with the back.

Tightly connected to the back pain is the sciatica. It is caused by problems with the sciatic nerve. This nerve starts from the lower part of the back and goes into both legs.

Lower level of physical activity and obesity are the major causes for the back pain, the experts say.

The pain is really bad. When the problems with the back do occur, we usually take some pills or some stronger drugs. However, the doctors and people who deal with healthy living style suggest other possibilities.

Sometimes a simple tool or exercise can be quite useful in dealing with such problems. 

Another proven method of easing the pain is cooling the affected part of the body. In addition to that, acupuncture and chiropractic treatments are also useful.

Moreover, expert say that yoga exercises are also very beneficial for back pain sufferers.

The video below shows some common exercises that may help you in such situations.

As we all know, unless the pain goes away by itself, it is there to make us uncomfortable. Luckily, there is this exercise with a tennis ball that can make you feel better.

The exercise starts with putting the tennis ball in the affected area. Then, start putting pressure on the tennis ball. Therefore, the muscle tension is relieved.

According to the Healthy.Shared, in case of sciatica, the ball targets the piriformis muscle which is near the sciatic nerve itself.

At the beginning, the pain is intense, so you shouldn’t worry too much. That’s a good sign to continue with the exercise. Apply pressure and endure the exercise.

Pressure on the spot should be applied for 30 or 60 seconds. Then move to another spot. The whole exercise is from 5 to 10 minutes.

The expert in this video demonstrates this exercise for you.

Experts also advise to be aware of your posture and don’t sit for longer than an hour.

Teen who stabbed a man to death over coffee gets 20 years in jail in a case that shocked the nation

A minor incident, which actually may happen to all of us, resulted with the death of an innocent man in Connecticut.

Antonio Muralles, age 52, bought his coffee in the local McDonald’s and he was on his way out. As soon as he started walking along the street, he bumped into two teenage kids, Marquest Hall and James McLamb.

As he bumped in the teenagers, unintentionally he spilled his coffee on them. As we all do in such circumstances, he apologized both of them for the unwanted situation. However, the teenagers did not think like that.

According to Daily Mail, the teenagers did not accept the apology and started threatening the man.

The 15-year old Marquest Hall stabbed the innocent man several times. Ironically and cruelly, he was repeatedly asking the man if he wanted to die.

The tragedy, however, happened.

The attack started with James punching the man. In just a few seconds after the punch, Hall started stubbing the man.

Muralles fell on the ground. However, this was not a reason for the boys to stop. They continued attacking him. The last stab was in his heart, which turned out to be fatal.

However, the investigation proved that this was not the only incident that Hall tried to create. Prior that attack, Hall was trying to come up with a reason for attacking a man with a walking stick.

Unfortunately, very soon, he saw Muralles and he found a chance to release his frustrations. That was tragic and fatal for the poor man.

‘Brutal, senseless and totally unnecessary’

Marquest Hall was charged with intentional manslaughter. He was going to get the maximum punishment. He also pleaded guilty, hoping that he will get less years in prison. News 12 Connecticut reported he will get 20 years behind bars for such charges.

Upon pleading guilty, the judge said there is a possibility for accepting it on base on his age and learning disabilities.

James McLamb also got what he deserved. He was charged with second-degree assault and he got five years behind bars.

In addition, McLamb apologized to the Muralles family.

Stamford Police Department adds that McLamb had also weapon charges with a $2 million bond. These two incidents are not related, though.

Please share to pay tribute to Anthony Muralles. 

A simple visit to the local McDonald’s turned out deadly for the innocent man.

School recalls yearbook after realizing student’s quote has a deeper, very sexual meaning.

Before you leave your mark in the real world, you leave your legacy printed in the yearbook. No matter if you were the coolest person in high school, or a real nerd who only cared for getting straight A’s, it eventually all fades away, but the quote you choose to stand there proudly under your graduation photo is there, well, pretty much forever. Some students choose words of wisdom, others try to be witty, and those like this person named Jordan opted for something pretty inappropriate. And now we can’t help but wonder, how the hell did this quote passed and got published.

Before the school even noticed what slipped through their fingers, a redditor that goes by the name Bwawo posted it online. The school then yanked out the yearbooks from the students, but we guess it was way too late as it’s already everywhere.

They had to recall all yearbooks at my school

The redditors say how the yearbooks still on sale were recalled, and if it wasn’t for this guy who shared the quote with the whole world, Jordan would have probably gotten away with it.

There are a bunch of other students who really nailed it when choosing the photo and the quote to be remembered for. Check this guy’s from a few years back. Subtle, indeed.

Subtle yearbook quote

Thank you Carlisle High School for teaching me friendship, understanding, community, kindness, youth, optimism, and unity.


Teacher mocks boy’s faith in front of the class – student’s clever reply completely stumps her

Religion is a private thing. It’s up to the people themselves to choose what to believe in and what not to believe in.

It’s also perfectly fine if one person does not believe in anything. Such people exist and it’s their own right to be atheists.

Nevertheless, there are believers and non-believers who try to push their point of view and convince the others in order ‘to choose the right path’. This is very rude and unacceptable in the modern world.

Regarding this issue, there is a fantastic factious story that involves a teacher and her students. The teacher’s intention is to tell her students what to believe in, and Adam’s reaction shuts her up.

The teacher is non-believer and she tries to place her views in front of the students.

“Go out in the schoolyard”

To demonstrate that God did not exist, Ms. Smith asked Adam:

“Adam, can you see that tree outside the window?”

“Yes,” the boy replied.

“Adam, can you see the lawn around the tree?”

“Yes,” the boy replied once again.

“Now go out in the schoolyard and look up at the sky,” Ms. Smith told him.

Adam nodded, and walked out in the schoolyard. He looked up at the blue sky for a few moments, then walked back into the classroom.

“Did you see God out there?”

“I saw the sky,” Adam said, happy to have been out in the yard for a few seconds.

“But did you see God up there?” the teacher said in a mocking tone.

“Nope, I didn’t,” Adam answered truthfully.

“Exactly. We can’t see God, because he’s not there. He simply doesn’t exist,” the teacher said with a jeering smile.

“Can you see miss Smith?”

Suddenly, Adam’s classmate Felicia eagerly raised her hand, and the teacher nodded for her to speak.

“Adam, can you see that tree outside the window?” little Felicia asked.

“Yes,” he replied.

“And can you see the lawn around the tree?”

“Yes,” Adam said.

“And did you see the sky out there?”

“Yes!” Adam said, a bit frustrated at all the questions.

“And can you see miss Smith?”

“So according to what we’ve been taught…”

“Yes,” Adam replied, now getting a bit curious.

“And can you see her brain?” little Felicia asked.

“Uhm, no,” Adam replied.

Felicia smiled at miss Smith.

“Okay, so according to what we’ve been taught today, miss Smith doesn’t have a brain!”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud – that’s what I call a comeback! Press the SHARE button to treat your friends to their daily laugh!

The creamy fruit gives you a feeling of full stomach of up to 5 hours. Therefore, it’s very useful if you try to lose some weight.

A recent study shows that only 1/2 of avocado will do the job. Avocado will prevent you from eating additional fast food.

2. Blood Pressure

The potassium in the avocado is excellent in regulating the blood pressure. What the potassium does is flushing out the excess sodium in the body. This results with lower blood pressure since the tension on the blood vessel walls is lower.

3. Eye Health

Additionally, avocado is rich with lutein and zeaxanthin. These two are quite healthy and good for the eyes and the vision quality.

Out of all plants, these two ingredients can be found only in avocado.

Avocados also help in regulating the level of cholesterol in the blood. The studies have proven that the avocado reduces the LDL, or known as bad cholesterol.

Simon and Garfunkel’s most iconic song, “Bridge over Troubled Water,” that was released back in 1970 as part of their fifth and final album, made it among the best-selling singles of all time, with over six-million copies sold worldwide. It won Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year and was a number one hit on The Billboard Hot 100. This everlasting song topped the charts in countries from every corner of the world and is one of the most performed songs. Some of the famous names who did covers are Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin, but we have to agree that the singer who did greatest justice to this song is Josh Groban.

Groban’s powerful vocal never ceases to amaze the crowds and each of his performances gives us goosebumps. Listening to him singing resembles pure magic. The fact that David Foster chose him to sing in place of Andrea Boceli speaks a lot about this singer and actor’s talent. His renditions are unique as he’s able to incorporate a bit of his personality in each and every one of them.

During one of his concerts held in Madison Square Garden, he surprised the cheering audience with “Bridge over Troubled Water.” The moment they heard the notes of this piece of music which carries the influence of gospel tunes, the hall was filled with loud applause.

He sat behind the piano and sang the first couple of lines all by himself. A few minutes later his enchanting voice was accompanied by backup singers whose vocals blended with the instruments in a perfect harmony, creating choir-esque feel.

Whether he performs his original music, or renditions of other authors’ songs, Josh is truly a one-of-a-kind performer who makes everything sound as it came straight from Heaven. Once you hear him singing, you’ll want more.

No matter if you are a fan or not, you are going to love this performance, because let’s get honest, what’s not to love about Josh Groban?

Woman Gets Brand New Look For Son’s Upcoming Wedding

I just love these stunningly inspirational videos depicting women who are undergoing incredible transformations and turn into the person they’ve always wanted to be. And speaking of positive changes, it’s pretty obvious that Christopher Hopkins, aka the Makeover Guy has his share. This guy does magic and impacts people’s life so deeply that their self-confidence boosts and they feel like brand new individuals.

This time, Christopher brought some rays of sunshine in the life of Janet. This lovely lady had been through so much during her life, and after the passing of her husband whom she took care of, her life collapsed. But now she has a reason to smile again. Her son is getting married and she wants to look fabulous for this special day.

“I literally have never done anything like this by myself, or for myself…I just thought if I don’t do it now, I never will,”

Janet told Christopher’s team.

“And there’s no promise of tomorrow.”

Humble Janet didn’t want much, all she said she needed was “just to be me, but better.”

Her lifeless, gray hair was about to get a new color and a fancy style that would fit the shape of her face just perfectly. The best part of this transformation is that it didn’t only affect Janet’s physical appearance but it let her vibrant personality shine through her face. The quiet and confused woman turned into a happy lady, and everyone could see that.

When she saw herself in the mirror she was wowed by the way she looked. She said, “It looks like me, not somebody else. It’s not so overdone.” With a huge grin on her face, Janet confessed how she hasn’t laughed like this in years. We are so happy she could finally get rid of the depression that struck her after her dear husband left this world.

If her husband is looking at her from Heaven he’s probably thinking, “You did it, girl, I’m so proud of you.”

People are saying how she’s going to rock her new appearance at her son’s wedding, and we can’t agree more. One person commented, “Janet, you are a sweetheart! I love the new hair, it’s light and airy, perfect for a Spring wedding and a brand new life. All the best!!”

As for us, we say how this woman is perfect, both inside and out. Take a look at her journey in the video below.
