  • X-Plain Back Exercises Reference Summary
    X-Plain Back Exercises Reference Summary Introduction Back pain is one of the most common medical problems in the U.S. It affects most people at least once in their lifetime. If not taken seriously, back pain can last for a long period of time, and can become disabling. This reference summary describes back exercises you can do. The tutorial reviews the common causes of back pain and back injury prevention tips. It then discusses the benefits of back exercises and tips for doing them safely. You will also learn 12 selected back exercises. Back Pain The most common cause of back pain is muscle spasms. An awkward movement of the back can lead to a severe muscle spasm. The muscle spasm causes the back to “cramp” and can cause severe pain. A muscle spasm can occur after an awkward bending or twisting motion. It may even occur after a simple sneeze or cough. A movement as simple as bending to tie a shoe or twisting your back to face a different direction can cause a spasm. Muscle spasms can also occur when a heavy object is lifted incorrectly. Long lasting back pain can occur also after accidents that have resulted in injury to the back. This document is a summary of what appears on screen in X-Plain™. It is for informational purposes and is not intended to be a substitute for the advice of a doctor or healthcare professional or a recommendation for any particular treatment plan. Like any printed material, it may become out of date over time.

  • The Espy (Hotel Esplanade), 11 the Esplanade, St Kilda
    14 The Espy (Hotel Esplanade), 11 The Esplanade, St Kilda Just in time for the opening of the rail connection to St Kilda in 1857, the New Bath Hotel opened in that year on this site. Its orientation facing the beach and its name referring also to that English Eighteenth Century resort town par excellence both evoked pleasure. Bath in Somerset was a fashionable hot springs spa for almost two thousand years, the first resort attractive for social élan rather than just for health: it was social pleasure personified. St Kilda’s New (bathing) Bath was not to open for another three years. But the owner of the new hotel, the Honourable James Stewart Johnston co-owner of the Argus newspaper (1843-52) and sometimes its acting manager, MLC for St Kilda, alderman of the City of Melbourne and councillor of the Shire of Bulla, was not going to wait around. It had 22 bedrooms, six sitting rooms and a bar, surrounded by over a hectare of formal gardens: ‘tea gardens, to which will be added two bowling alleys upon the American principle, a large quoiting ground, throwing the hammer and a Esplanade Hotel in 1881 showing the three former terraced houses. 1 variety of other amusements.’ It was known for the quality of its food and its genteel patrons. That November the New Bath Hotel hosted an exhibition for the St Kilda Horticultural Society, including ’choice specimens of geraniums, fuchsias and pansies,’ and the 40th Regiment military band played music. Perhaps the Argus’s report is the first ever of a musical performance at The Espy, over 150 years ago.
