Q: Most achy backs caused by overwork or minor accidents (such as slip and falls) resolve on their own with a few days or so. As such, if the pain isn't severe, have some patience and the likelihood of your backache going away is actually pretty good with or without any kind of treatment.  Severe pain combined with numbness or tingling in the legs is often a sign of a serious back injury. It's important to seek professional help if your back pain also involves trouble urinating, fever or unintentional weight loss. If you develop back pain that won't go away after a few days of taking it easy, then schedule an appointment with your family physician. Your doctor will examine your back (spine) and ask questions about your family history, diet and lifestyle, and maybe even take X-rays or send you for a blood test (to rule out rheumatoid arthritis or a spinal infection). However, your family doctor is not a musculoskeletal or spinal specialist, so you may need a referral to another doctor with more specialized training. Your family doctor may recommend over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen, or analgesics (pain killers) such as acetaminophen to help you cope with your backache. Consider seeing a specialist if your backache is not relieved by rest and medications. Mechanical low back pain is not considered a serious medical condition, although it can be very painful and debilitating, causing you to miss work or athletic activities. Typical causes include muscle strains, spinal joint sprains, spinal nerve irritation and spinal disc degeneration. However, medical specialists such as an orthopedist, neurologist or rheumatologist may be needed to rule out the most serious causes such as infection (osteomyelitis), cancer, osteoporosis, spinal fracture, herniated disc, kidney disease or rheumatoid arthritis.  X-rays, bone scans, MRI, CT scan and ultrasound are modalities that specialists may use to help diagnose your backache. The low back, or lumbar region, is more susceptible to injury and pain because it supports the weight of the upper body. Make sure you get the doctor to clearly explain the diagnosis, especially the cause (if possible), and provide you with various treatment options for your condition. Only the most serious causes of back pain require surgical intervention, which is quite rare. Sometimes mild backaches resolve on their own within a few days, but for more debilitating back pain, treatment is recommended because it will likely reduce the duration of the pain and lower the risk of a recurrent (chronic) problem.  Pain from mechanical back pain can be severe, but it doesn't involve high fevers, rapid weight loss, bladder / bowel problems or loss of leg function, which are all signs of something more serious. Common causes of backache include poor posture, improper lifting technique, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and mild trauma from athletic activities.
A: Give it time. Schedule an appointment with your doctor. Get a referral to a specialist. Understand the cause of your backache.

Article: Before you begin the search for sponsors, you should get an estimate of how much your event will cost. Determine how expensive it will be to do things like rent a venue, pay for advertising, cater food, hire security, and print t-shirts. Once you have a grasp on how much this will cost, you will have a better idea of what you need and what to ask for from sponsors. Work with an accountant or your finance department to determine how much your event might cost. Once you have an idea of what your event will cost, you should consider what types of sponsorships to look for. Research whether you want some kind of relationship in which your event receives goods or services from the sponsor, or one in which you simply receive financial support from them. Understanding what type of sponsorship you want will help you narrow down the companies to approach.  You can recruit cost-reducing partnerships that will provide services at a discounted rate in exchange for some kind of exposure. You can also get more traditional cash sponsorships that help you meet the financial needs while giving the company exposure. Ideal sponsors are ones that care about your event's audience. It is important that you know who your event attendees are and what their needs are. Determine who the people are that will be attending your event, and find sponsors who will appeal to these people. Ask yourself questions like “What do you know about your target audience's demographics?” and “How do people engage with your organization?” Look at groups like yours in your area and determine whether they are getting corporate support. Is there a history of corporate support for events like yours or few instances of sponsorship? A general lack of sponsorship may indicate an opportunity, but it may also signal a reluctance on the part of sponsors. Look into the marketing goals and challenges of potential sponsors. Find out what types of events they have sponsored in the past and consider whether your event would be a good match. You should also try out a company's product or service to understand how it aligns with your event.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Develop a budget for your event. Consider the type of sponsorship you want. Understand your customers or supporters. Evaluate the corporate climate. Research the history of potential sponsors.

Q: About 30 percent of unwanted heat comes from windows. Close your window coverings to prevent direct sunlight from heating up the room. If you don’t already have blinds or curtains in the room, invest in some, especially if you have any south or west-facing windows. By using window coverings, you can reduce indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees.  Try to keep the window coverings closed from morning until late afternoon when the sun is at its peak. If heat is a persistent problem in the room, consider purchasing thermal insulated blackout curtains. Any device that is powered on is currently contributing to the heat in the room. Unplug or turn off everything you’re not using. Computers and televisions, in particular, generate a lot of heat. Incandescent lightbulbs are big heat-generators, too. If possible, turn the lights off in the room.  It's not always feasible to turn out all the lights. At the very least, dim them as much as you can.  Consider replacing your incandescent lights with compact fluorescent lamps, or better yet, light-emitting diodes which generate far less heat. CFLs and LEDs are more environmentally-friendly, as well. Piles of clothing and other kinds of clutter absorb heat and keep it trapped in the room. The less clutter you have in the room, the more available space there is for the heat to disperse and the faster it will cool down. A lot of clutter can also restrict airflow, making it feel even hotter in the room. Toss any piles of clothing you have on the floor into your closet and shut the door behind them. Do a quick survey of the remaining clutter and quickly eliminate what you can. If it’s hotter inside the room than it is outside, the walls have probably absorbed a lot of heat from sunlight throughout the day. Remove this trapped heat and push it outdoors by opening the windows in the room. Close off any spaces in the house that you currently aren’t using, too. This will help to cool down the room you’re in more quickly. Once it cools off a bit, be sure to close the windows.
A:
Close your blinds/curtains. Turn off all unnecessary heat-producing devices, appliances, and lights. Pick up the clutter. Open a window and close off other rooms in the house.
