Shoes And Back Pain

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 11:59 am

Why do we have a preference a comfy pair of old shoes or slippers? Well, the obvious solution is because we have become used to them and they fit like a glove. This is true too and goes a long way to offering the solution to the question, but what this answer merely suggests is that new shoes are uncomfortable.

Frequently this is because they throw your normal posture out, which may hurt your ankles, legs and back and that is without talking about blisters which is another issue actually. Women almost certainly understand this point of view more than men, because they frequently wear heals of different heights, which has the effect of throwing the body off its regular balance.

In a younger body, the effects of the body being placed off balance might be compensated for by strength and flexibility, but as we get older, it becomes more and more important to stick with what we are used to.

Exercise is helpful. New exercises are good. They will help build up your flexibility and ability to cope with change, but if you spend much time on your feet, wear sensible shoes or you are building problems up for the future.

In fact, there are three main things that affect the state of your back. These everyday items are: your bed, your seat and your shoes, but most individuals spend longer in shoes than in one seat or in bed. I know that you probably have more than one pair of shoes, but that is part of the problem, if you think of it.

Shoes are important for two factors: they absorb some of the shock of walking and they help foster a correct walking posture. Decent shoes do anyway and good shoes will also support the ankle to stop it ‘wobbling’ which would make stress and stain on the feet.

So how do you pick shoes that will be good for your posture today and your back for the remainder of your life? Well, it has to do with those terms that young people fear: sensible and orthopedic or orthotic. Those words used to mean ‘old-fashioned’ and ‘not stylish’, but that is not necessarily so any more, although wearing shoes that are ‘decent for you’ still does normally mean spending more money.

If you are unaware of how to buy shoes in the correct way, it is worth your time to find out and if you are a parent, then it is your duty to find out. It is not a problem, but it is normally a little more expensive, because more consideration by professional podiatricians has gone into the design of them, which will make sure that the wearers of these shoes will not be at risk whilst wearing them.

Do not let yourself or your children down by buying cheap or badly designed shoes.

History of Cricket

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 5:09 pm

It may come as a surprise to those who have not learned the history of cricket, but it is now believed that Cricket really started in Saxon or Norman times as a children?s game played by children living in the area called the Weald of Kent in what is today Kent and Sussex in South East England . It was not taken up as an adult game until the start of the 17th century.

The first documented reference to the game in the history of cricket is to be discovered in the records of a 1598 court case concerning a disagreement over a school’s ownership of a plot of land. A 59-year old coroner, John Derrick, testified that he and his school friends had played ‘creckett’ on the site fifty years earlier.

The school was the Royal Grammar School, Guildford, and Mr Derrick’s report proves beyond reasonable doubt that the game was being played in Surrey around 1550.

The first mention of it being played as an adult sport was in 1611, when two men in Sussex were prosecuted for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to church. This was in the same year that a dictionary defined cricket as a boys’ game and this implies that adult participation was a recent development.

With all the recent press coverage of the influence of gambling upon the result of cricket matches, it is surprising that historically, gambling played a very substantial part in the growth of the game in England. Cricket had certainly become a major gambling sport by the end of the 17th century.

There is a newspaper report of a “great match” played in Sussex in 1697 which was 11-a-side and played for the high stakes of 50 guineas a side. 50 guineas would be the equal of GBP5,000 to GBP 6,000 in today?s terms.

The present day arrangement of County teams came about as a result of wealthy gamblers forming their own teams in order to fortify their bets and started to employ local experts from village cricket as the first professionals. It is believed that the first ?County? game took place in 1697 between Sussex and another county.

Cricket was introduced to North America via the British colonies in the 17th century, and in the 18th century it spread to other regions of the British dominated world. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists and to India by the British East India Company in the first half of the century.

The first colonists took it to Australia soon after 1788 followed by New Zealand and South Africa in the first years of the 19th century.

It might come as a surprise to lots of people that the very first International cricket match took place between the United States and Canada in 1844 (Canada won by 23 runs) and the very first overseas tour was by a party of leading English professionals who toured North America in 1857.

The earliest English tour of Australia was in 1862, with the first Australian tour of England being by a team of Australian Aborigine players in 1868.

In 1877, an England touring team in Australia played two matches against full Australian XIs that are now thought of as the very first Test matches. The following year, the Australians toured England for the first time and were a magnificent success.

No Tests were played on that tour but more soon followed. At The Oval in 1882, there was played what was to become the most well-known match of all time which gave rise to The Ashes.

General Insect Repellent

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 2:29 pm

The difficulty with all-purpose insect repellent is that no one insect repellent will repel all insects. There are so many different species of insects that nothing will deter them all. Some insects in some areas for example have been especially focused, like bed bugs in New York, and so they have developed a tolerance to repellents that does not exist elsewhere.

This is not such a problem if you know the area where you are staying, because you will know the most prevalent insect pests in your area, but what about if you go on holiday? You may take a box of your favourite mosquito ointment to Acapulco on your dream vacation only to find that there are no mosquitoes there but that the sand flies are murderous.

Mosquitoes are not really difficult in Scotland, but midges are in the summer and mosquito repellent does not have an effect on midges (or sand flies) even though they get up to the same type of monkey business. The key is local information. Before you go anywhere attempt to do some research on local problem insects.

In fact, unless you know that your favourite mosquito repellent works where you are going, there is not a lot of point taking it with you, since the locals will already have the best repellents for their own specific local problem insects. The only potential exception is a cream with a high percentage of DEET.

It may be illegal where you are going to sell a cream containing over 25% DEET, but you feel safer with 50%. I know that I would feel far less at risk with 50% DEET, if I were going to Gambia, where the world’s most toxic mosquitoes lives.

Another pesticide that kills pretty much all insects (except bed bugs) is permethrin, but you might not be able to buy it where you are going. The difference between DEET and permethrin is that DEET repels mosquitoes by confusing their senses – basically, you slip under their RADAR – but permethrin kills insects.

This confusion works for plenty of insects that perceive their prey by carbon dioxide emissions like ticks and possibly bed bugs. Permethrin is not so effectual against bed bugs because they have a waxy coat which does not allow the chemical to actually reach their skin, where it would kill them.

This waxy coat can be removed, but you will not have time if on vacation to do it. The overall best answer to most, but not all insect pests is putting DEET at about 25-35% on your skin, which will give you five to eight hours protection and spaying permethrin on your clothes. Permethrin can last up to six months and can survive several washes.

If you are sitting outdoors it is a good tactic to hang up a bug zapper – the kind that has an ultraviolet lamp inside a highly charged electric grill. A handheld racquet style bug zapper is also good for clearing a tent or bedroom of a few mosquitoes or flies before retiring.

How To Care For Your Fish Pond

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 5:36 pm

Do you like the sound of moving water? Do you find the sound relaxing? Well, you can easily produce the sound of running water in your own garden. You can put in a fish pond or a water garden. So, if you think that your garden needs landscaping, it might be a good idea to consider a fish pond or water garden.

People think that a fish pond takes lot of looking after, but that is not inevitably the case. The fact is that the larger the fish pond, the less effort you have to put into it. This is because a large pond can create its own ecosystem, whereas a small fish pond requires help.

The ways that you can help a small fish pond be a decent environment for your fish are as follows:

Pond Filters – use a pond filter with a good pump. Do not forget that you could get a solar powered pump. It will save on the environment and on your wallet. You should use a pond filter on a small pond, because the ecosystem cannot deal with all the plant waste of a small ornamental pond on its own. A pond pump will supply the filtration system and a waterfall or fountain if you wish.

Your pond filtration system should be left running twenty-four hours a day, but you can not just set it and forget it. Check that the pump is running daily and keep the filter as clean as needed for it to do its job. You may find that you have to clean it two or three times a week in the summer and autumn but only once a week in the winter and spring.

Leaf Netting: stop leaves from clogging up your pond in the autumn. The net should be suspended a foot or so above the pond to stop autumn leaves falling into the water and rotting.

Feeding: all fish should be fed fish food, not bread or scraps. Some fish ought to have specific fish food in order to preserve their colour. When you buy your fish, the salesperson should inform you what they eat. In general, the larger the pond the less trouble feeding becomes as they will eat natural food like insects, grubs, larvae and flies.

Fish need less food in the winter when they become semi-dormant and live off the fat stores that they built up in the warmer months, so give food often in the summer and autumn, but less often in the winter. You must check to see if surplus food is left floating on the surface.

Winter: make sure that there is a hole in the ice so that the water can take in oxygen and the fish can feed if they wish to. You can buy a floating de-icer or some people float a round football in a hoola-hoop, which seems to do the trick unless the temperature gets very low.

In fact, the hoola-hoop is a good idea all year round really. If you place the food in the hoop, it remains in one place and you can see if you have given too much. It also makes a nice site to see all the fish feeding in a shoal.

Your Koi Pond After A Storm

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 12:37 pm

A storm can be stressful for your outdoor fish, especially for large koi carp, which, being large, possibly do not have many places to hide. However, if you have designed your koi fish pond well, you will have taken this into account when your constructed the pond. Likewise, the pond should be deep enough for your fish to be able to get well below the choppy surface layer.

If you prepared for the storm, you probably put a net over the fish pond, so the first thing you ought to do after the storm is clear up any fallen debris and take away the net, so that you can get a good look at your fish and what happened to them. They may be a bit stressed, so move unhurriedly and try hard not to frighten them. Stress is a killer in the animal world as well as in ours.

Did you take the added safeguard of sand-bagging the rim of your pond to stop it over-flowing and the fish swimming away? If so, take away the sand bags, so that you can get a better look.

Now you can get a good look at the upheaval, if there is any. Use a net to quietly skim off any leaves that have blown under the netting and onto the pond. If any plants have been uprooted, put them back where they should be. In general, put the pond back as it used to be, so that the fish feel at home. Again, move unhurriedly and try not to put your fish under any more stress.

If you have to carry out major structural repairs, you could place your koi in a child’s plastic paddling pool until you can sort the issue out. Put the pool in a shaded area and fold the netting over it several times so that the fish can not get out and cats and birds cannot get in. If you can aerate the pool with a pump so much the better.

Put a few plants in there with them for cover and feed in moderation. if the repairs will take a long time, you could ask your local pet store to take them away for a week or whatever. You will need to pay board and lodgings, but it is preferable to losing your prized koi carp.

Once any repairs have been carried out, you ought to check the water quality, which could have been changed by debris falling into the pond or by your repairs. Rain, especially acid rain, can have quite an effect, particularly if it rained for a long time.

First check the water for nitrates. If the levels are incorrect (see the testing kit for details), you ought to stabilize them. If the levels are extremely high, first remove the plants from the water.

Then test the KH levels. If they are low, say, below 100, then you could add a cup of baking soda per 1,000 gallons of water and check again. Whatever you do, the quickest way to de-stress your fish is to reinstate their environment to what it used to be with clean water to swim in.

Natural Mosquito Repellents

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 1:29 pm

We all realize that mosquitoes are a nuisance. None of us likes being bitten by them. Most people say ‘bitten’ although this not accurate. ‘Stung’ is also not true. What the mosquito is really doing is taking some of your protein in the form of blood though her proboscis, so that her eggs will have something to feed upon while they are developing.

In consequence, your blood is supplying the albumen (the ‘white’) of the mosquitoes’ eggs. It therefore follows that it is only the female mosquito that ‘bites’. In the course of sucking your blood, the mosquito squirts some juices into you. It is not fully understood what these liquids contain, but one is an anti-coagulant to keep your blood fluid and another might be a pain-killer so you do not feel the proboscis entering your pore. Some think that there might also be an antiseptic, but it is not accepted by every one.

Some mosquitoes also introduce other parasites into you, which can result in diseases like malaria, dengue, yellow fever and Japanese jungle encephalopathy. Mosquitoes are to blame for killing millions of people every year. Luckily the fluid that they inject comes from another source other than where they store the blood they have already taken, otherwise they could distribute AIDS as well.

Having said all that, another indirect cause for alarm is in the prevention of mosquito bites. The single most effective method of stopping mosquitoes landing on you is spreading mosquito repellent on your skin, and the most successful mosquito repellents contain DEET. However, it is now thought that the regular use of DEET can cause neurological problems. Therefore, it worth looking for natural mosquito repellents.

Regrettably, there is no mosquito repellent as reliable as DEET, but some combinations of treatments are nearly as effective. For instance, some people say that mosquitoes are attracted to people who have eaten bananas, so you could avoid bananas if you are nearby mosquitoes. Others say that mosquitoes are less likely to go for people who have eaten garlic or Yeastvite or Bovril.

Mosquitoes abhor the smell of lemons, so a local application of lemon juice is very effective although the effect only lasts about thirty or forty minutes. However, there is a plant called the citronella and this deters mosquitoes equally as well. The citronella does not smell of lemons unless it is disturbed, but then it is very aromatic.

Grow them in pots on your window cills, on your deck or on your patio. The wind blowing through them is enough to release the odour. You can also collect the dead leaves and put them in your pillow. You could also rub green leaves directly onto your skin.

There are quite a few natural mosquito repellents, but they do not all work for everybody and nobody understands why. One theory is that diet and alcohol affect your appeal to mosquitoes. It is also possible that mosquitoes in different regions like different types of people, so it is always worth asking for local advice.
