If you’ve decided that you need to exercise more to get fit and shape up, you’re probably wondering what types of exercise you should add to your workout regime. Although jogging and going to the gym to use a treadmill or exercise bike are two of the most common choices among those who are trying to shed the pounds and tone up, they’re also two quite boring options. If you’ve tried either of these forms of exercise before and have found them unbearably dull, you’re going to need to look a little outside the box for a more interesting way of working out, otherwise, you won’t be able to stick to your good intentions.

Clenching or grinding one’s teeth is a perfectly natural thing to do, and for the majority of the population, it isn’t an issue, yet for some unfortunate people, teeth grinding is a problem. If left unattended, grinding your teeth will lead to serious erosion of the tooth enamel, which will lead to more serious issues.

Bruxism is the medical term for teeth grinding, which can be caused in several ways - incorrect jaw alignment, stress, or a medical condition are all common reasons for teeth grinding.

Forge New Habits

Grinding your teeth is a habit that can be changed, and once you are aware that you are doing it, you can make conscious decisions to relax the jaw muscle when the grinding begins.  A major cause of teeth grindings is stress, which can make a person clench their jaw, and with constant practice, you can forge a new routine that doesn’t include clenching your jaw. Taking a hot bath before bed is said to help relax the facial muscles, or perhaps listening to some soothing music before bed will help you to relax.

Winning the lotto, being left money by a relative or discovering a hoard of treasure in your garden aside, most of us could do with a bit more cash.  Achieving this may be something that is more viable than you think too, especially if you prevent yourself from making the mistakes described in the post below. To that end, read on to find out what they are and how to avoid them, ensuring your purse and coffers remain as full as possible!

Not claiming benefits that you are owed

One reason that many people can find themselves short of cash is that they are not claiming money or benefits that they are rightfully owed. In fact, in many countries benefits are awarded for those that are parents, those on lower incomes, and even those that have illness or disability, something you can find out more about at ssa.gov/disability/. The idea being that people that fit this description won't have to struggle financially.

Of course, you'd be bonkers to not to claim such benefits if you qualified to them! Therefore be sure to check online or at your local citizens’ advice bureau to see if there any you have missed.

Erb’s palsy is a condition caused by damage to the nerves of a baby’s upper arm as a result of trauma to the arm during birth. This most commonly occurs when a baby’s shoulder becomes obstructed by the mother’s pelvis, preventing the baby from being delivered normally, and inappropriate force is used by medical staff to rectify the problem.

The condition can lead to either full or partial paralysis of the affected arm, but in most cases, the damage can be repaired or significantly reduced if the right treatment is provided. The first year after the baby is born is usually the most critical period for treatment, but some children will need ongoing treatment for a number of years. Treatment can include surgery and/or various therapeutic approaches, depending on the circumstances.

Credit cards have built up somewhat of a bad reputation. Many people use them irresponsibly and to live beyond their means, and then struggle to pay them off when it comes to it. The cycle of credit card debt is difficult to get out of - run up a debt, then get into more debt trying to pay them off.

The thing is, if used correctly and responsibly, credit cards can be useful. If your credit score allows it, you have the willpower not to use it for unnecessary and extravagant purchases, and you have the means to pay it off, they can actually be a handy financial tool, especially if you find the right one for you from cardguru. Here, we look at why they aren't as bad as you think.

When you are a theatre manager you have more than just the health and safety of your theatre staff to consider in your day to day tasks of running your theatre. You also need to have thorough and robust Health & Safety policies and procedures in place to help protect every single person that sets foot over your threshold or needs to work in the immediate vicinity of your building.

You have to take into consideration the health and safety needs of those who spend their working day within your theatres, such as set designers and maintenance staff. Not forgetting, of course, the visiting performing artists using your space for rehearsals and public performances.
