The Good Boss

Benevolent patriarch, Julio Blanco [Javier Bardem] is CEO of a family company that manufactures precision industrial scales and his mission in life is to win a prestigious business award.

With the national committee about to arrive for an inspection, Julio does not care what he must do to win. So, in front of the media, he is all smiles when giving a pep talk to his employees about the importance of community. But behind the scenes, Julio is ruthless with staff and fixates on shutting down a local protest taking place across the road from his factory.

When back pain strikes unexpectedly, it may be both annoying and confusing. What is causing your back discomfort if you haven't made any changes to your normal routine?

The solution might be in your mattress. There are several red flags to check for to determine whether your mattress is to fault. The first indicator is when you have a backache. If you have back discomfort when you first wake up, but you can stretch it away in 15-30 minutes, your mattress is doing more damage than good.

Also, if you find yourself waking up more frequently or tossing and turning in bed, this should be another red flag. Even if you do not suffer from back problems, you should change your mattress every eight to ten years for a healthier lifestyle and better sleep quality.
