Sciatica During Pregnancy

It’s a pain in the behind — literally. Find out what causes sciatica during pregnancy and what you can do to get some relief. You knew pregnancy was going to mean a lot of firsts — like feeling the incredible first flutter of baby moving in your belly. But back pain that just won’t go away? That might not have been quite the experience you had in mind when you first envisioned yourself with that proverbial pregnancy glow. While a majority of mothers-to-be experience some dull, throbbing aches in the middle of the back or the butt, a small percentage grapple with the searing pain of sciatica during pregnancy — a painful but fortunately temporary condition. WHAT IS SCIATICA? The sciatic nerve, the largest in the body, starts in the lower back, runs down the buttocks and branches down the back of the legs to the ankles and feet. In most cases sciatica — sharp, shooting pain, tingling or numbness that starts in the back or buttocks and radiates all the way down the b...

CAMPAIGN CASH: Who's pouring millions into an effort to sink Donald Trump?

Spencer Platt/Getty Images At least a third of this year's Republican electorate likes Donald Trump enough to vote for him, but it's no secret that the Republican establishment would prefer somebody like Sen. Marco Rubio. Elite Republican donors have been pouring money into the campaigns of Rubio, Sen. Ted Cruz, Gov. John Kasich, and, until recently, Jeb Bush, but Marlene Ricketts is going a step further . According to newly released campaign finance reports, Ricketts gave $3 million to Our Principles PAC — a group managed by Mitt Romney 2012 top aide Katie Packer, dedicated to destroying Trump's candidacy — accounting for nearly all the funds the PAC raised in January. Our Principles sent anti-Trump mailers and ran Trump-bashing ads before the Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina contests. So who is Marlene Ricketts? She and her husband, billionaire T.D. Ameritrade founder J. Joe Ricketts, have owned the Chicago Cubs since 2009, led the charge to tie th...

CHUNYA DISTRICT PLANS TO COLLECT 35.9 BILLION SHILLINGS

By Friday Simbaya, Chunya Councilors and village leaders of Chunya district in the newly established Region of Songwe, have been asked to manage and protect the forest laws in order to reduce the problem of invasion of the important natural resources committed by some unscrupulous people. The statement was made by Chunya District Commissioner (DC), Elias Tarimo, last week during the session of the House of Councilors of the Council which said that it is impossible to look at the forest invaders destroy the forest at the point of endangering its existence when leaders sit back and relax. DC has instructed councilors and other leaders of village to guard the forest, adding that the protection should start in their places before the invaders can be captured by the district administration. He said that people responsible for checkpoints should take effective measures to prevent those forest products without legal documents not to pass, and failing to do that responsib...

Hayo yalisemwa Mwishoni mwa Wiki na Mkuu wa wWlaya hiyo, Elias Tarimo,  wakati wa kikao cha Baraza la Madiwani wa Halmashauri hiyo ambapo alisema  kuwa haiwezekani wavamizi wa misitu wanavuna misitu mpaka kufikia hatua ya  kuhatarisha uwepo wake wakati viongozi hao wanaangalia. Aliwaagiza madiwani pamoja na viongozi wengine wa vijiji kuwa walinzi kwa  kuanzia katika maeneo yao kabla ya wavamizi hawajakamatwa na uongozi wa  Wilaya kwa madai kuwa hali hiyo inapunguza hali ya uwajibikaji.

MUNGY AWATAKA WATANZANIA KUZINGATIA MASHARTI NA KANUNI ZA MITANDAO (AUDIO + VIDEO)

Mkuu wa Mawasiliano wa Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano Tanzania (TCRA), Innocent Mungy. Ili kuhakikisha kunapungua kwa makosa ya uvunjifu wa sheria ya mtandao, Mkuu wa Mawasiliano wa Mamlaka ya Mawasiliano nchini (TCRA), Innocent Mungy amewataka watumiaji wa mitandao kuzingatia kanuni na masharti ya mitandao. Mungy aliyasema hayo katika mahojiano maalumu na Mo Blog na kueleza kuwa moja ya sababu zinazopelekea watumiaji wa mitandao kufanya makosa ni kutokusoma masharti na kanuni za mitandao wanaoingia wakati wanapojisajili. “Wengine hawaelewi maana ya mitandao ya kijamii lakini kabla ya kuingia wanatakiwa kusoma masharti na vigezo wakati wanajisajili kuingiza kwenye mitandao hiyo,” alisema Mungy. Alisema makosa ya mitandao yalianza kujitokeza zaidi mwaka 2012 katika mitandao ya Facebook na Instagram na yaliongezeka zaidi baada ya kukua kwa mtandao wa Whatsapp na kuwataja waathirika wakubwa kuwa vijana na zaidi wa kike kati ya miaka 18 hadi 24.
