...The most influential person in my life has often stated that “taking risks and overcoming obstacles promotes important discoveries in your life and work.” The most important experience in my life sought me out. It happened to me; I didn’t cause it. However, I am so grateful for that experience because it has changed me in a magnificent way. I have discovered many things about myself as well as others that have benefited my maturity. As I sat at the dining room table one Tuesday night awaiting dinner, I felt as though my world was starting to crash down around me. School, work, friends, and just life in general were stressing me out, not to mention thoughts of the future. I was suddenly faced with the most devastating news of my life; or so I thought. My mother has always been my most adamant supporter but as she sat there, telling me that I would have to pay for my college tuition, I couldn’t help but feel nothing less of hatred for her. The lack of my parents’ financial support has motivated me to prove that I can and will achieve my dreams. As a result of this experience, I am currently in school while holding two jobs at the same time which takes a great deal of responsibility and a considerable amount of time. Working two jobs and staying in school is not exactly what I call fun. However, it is worth the trouble knowing that I get a lesson about responsibility out of it. All this hard work has taught me how to be responsible. I can use this example now and put it into use...

...康复治疗的运动学基础 江钟立 2008年 运动学是研究人体活动的科学，所涉及的基础内容主要包括生物力学和生理学。生物力学是应用力学的原理来分析人体运动规律的科学，运动生理学则是研究运动中人体主要系统和脏器功能生理效应规律的科学，两者均是康复治疗学的重要理论基础。正确认识各运动器官的力学特性及其在运动中的相互作用和生理功能，对创伤和疾病的预防、治疗和康复都极为重要。 一、运动力学基础 （一）人体生物力学的概念 1、人体力的种类 力学是研究物体间相互作用的力与物体发生位移（运动）之间关系的物理学分支。自然界常见的力有重力、引力、压力等，这些力作用于物体使之发生位置或状态的改变，物体之间发生位置变化的过程称之为运动。与人体运动有关的力主要有内力和外力两种。 （1）内力 是指人体内部各种组织器官相互作用的力。其中最重要的首先是肌肉收缩所产生的主动拉力，是维持人体姿势和产生运动的动力；其次是各种组织器官的被动阻力，包括肌肉、骨、软骨、关节囊、韧带、筋膜等受压力或拉力作用时对抗变形的阻力，躯体的惯性力和内脏器官间的摩擦力及其固定装置(如腹膜、肠系膜、大血管等)的阻力等。 （2）外力 是指外界环境作用于人体的力，包括重力、器械的阻力、支撑反作用力、摩擦力及流体作用力。各种外力经常被利用来作为运动训练的负荷，这种负荷要求肢体运动的方向和力量与之相适应，因而选择投入工作的肌群及其收缩强度，这是肌力训练的方法学理论基础。 2、人体杠杆 人的躯体运动遵循杠杆原理，各种复杂动作都可分解为一系列的杠杆运动。杠杆包括支点、力点和阻力点。支点到力点的垂直距离为力臂，支点到阻力点的垂直距离为阻力臂。根据杠杆上三个点的不同位置关系，可将杠杆分成三类： （1）第1类杠杆（平衡杠杆） 其支点位于力点与阻力点之间。如头颅与脊柱的连结，支点位于寰枕关节的额状轴上，力点(如斜方肌、肩胛提肌、头夹肌等的作用点)在支点的后方，阻力点(头的重心)位于支点的前方。主要作用是传递动力和保持平衡，支点靠近力点时有增大速度和幅度的作用，支点靠近阻力点时有省力的作用。 （2）第2类杠杆（省力杠杆） 其阻力点位于力点和支点的之间。如站立位提踵时，以跖趾关节为支点，小腿三头肌以粗大的跟腱附着于跟骨上的止点为力点，人体重力通过距骨体形成阻力点，在跗骨与跖骨构成的杠杆中位于支点和力点之间。这类杠杆力臂始终大于阻力臂，可用较小的力来克服较大的阻力，有利于作功。 （3）第3类杠杆（速度杠杆） 其力点位于阻力点和支点的之间。如肱二头肌屈起前臂的动作，支点在肘关节中心，力点(肱二头肌在桡骨粗隆上的止点)在支点和阻力点(手及所持重物的重心)的中间。此类杠杆因为力臂始终小于阻力臂，力必须大于阻力才能引起运动，不省力，但可以获得较大的运动速度。人体活动大部分是速度杠杆。 （二）运动平面和运动轴 记述人体运动通常采用基本姿势位，将人体运动的方向用三个相互垂直的平面和轴来表示。 1、基本姿势位 （1）基本姿势位 是人体运动的始发姿势。身体直立，面向前，双目平视，双足并立，足尖向前，双手下垂于身体两侧，掌心贴于体侧。 （2）解剖学体位 是阐述人体各部位结构位置关系时采用的体位。身体直立，双眼向前平视，两脚跟靠拢，足尖向前，两上肢垂于躯干两侧，手掌向前。 2、基本运动平面 人体可分为三个基本运动平面，即矢状面、额状面和水平面，相互间呈垂直状。矢状面是...

...An Influential Person Maneashia Lane English 121 Adam Deutsch February 09, 2015 Introduction Today I would like to introduce you to the most influential person in my life. Her name is Carla Simmons. She is my 41 year sister from Talladega, Al. According to her, growing up she never had a plan or a blueprint for her life. As a result, she never completed anything she started. Consequently, she accomplished her goals later in life. In 2005 she received her Real Estate license. It was a struggle because she was a single mother of two and worked a full-time job. She worked from 6 A.M-4:30 P.M. She went straight to class after work and didn’t get home until 11 PM. She was tired but she was persistent. In 2014, she received a Bachelor degree in Organizational Management from Historical Talladega College. She is now pursuing an MBA in Organizational Management. She knows when to be serious and when to have fun. She surrounds herself with positive people, makes time for herself, does things she enjoys doing, and she constantly thinks about being successful. She is an optimist at heart and she has a very positive outlook on life. First of all, she taught me how to surround myself with positive people because negative people gripe and complain, and have nothing good to say. And no matter how one tries to convince them, they cannot and will not accept that way of thinking. Keeping a positive attitude can be difficult if your audience is negative people, and they are constantly...

...Financial Accounting: Determination of Income Mark Scheme 2008 examination - January series www.XtremePapers.net Accounting ACC3 - AQA GCE Mark Scheme 2008 January series Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation meeting attended by all examiners and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation meeting ensures that the mark scheme covers the candidates’ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for the standardisation meeting each examiner analyses a number of candidates’ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed at the meeting and legislated for. If, after this meeting, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been discussed at the meeting they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of candidates’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

... Without the use of a measuring device called a speedometer, instantaneous speed is almost impossible to measure. When both speed and direction are specified for the motion the term velocity is used. In other words, velocity is speed in a particular direction. A person walking eastward at 1 km/h does not have the same velocity as a person walking northward at 1 km/h, even though their speeds are the same. Two persons also have different velocities if they walk in the same direction at different speeds or if they are turning. Calculating Speed Activity PROCEDURE Part A: Mark off your walking distance by: 1. Place a piece of tape on the baseboard, next to the floor, to use as a starting point. (Make sure you have at least 10 meters of space without any obstructions.) 2. Using a meter stick mark of a path 10 meters in length. 3.

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to assess the compliance of Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH) in accordance with the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals for 2012. This report will focus exclusively on the Priority Focus Area of Communication and its subsequent standards: * UP.01.01.01 – Conduct a preprocedure verification process. * UP.01.02.01 – Mark the procedure site. * UP.01.03.01 – A time-out is performed before the procedure. BACKGROUND NCH is 13 months away from its next Joint Commission audit. It is imperative that NCH is in complete compliance with the Joint Commission. METHODOLOGY In order to determine the degree of compliance with the aforementioned standards, the following NCH documents were cross-referenced: * Preprocdure Hand-Off >cross-referenced with standard UP.01.01.01 * Site Identification and Verification >cross-referenced with standard UP.01.02.01 * Site Identification and Verification, subheading Time-Out Procedure >cross-referenced with standard UP.01.03.01 FINDINGS Standard UP.01.01.01. NCH is not in compliance with standard UP.01.01.01. The first element of performance of this standard requires NCH to conduct a preprocedure verification process. Although NCH currently has a Preprocedure Hand-Off form that highlights the process, it could be improved by the inclusion of more precise language. Three recommendations are suggested for this improvement: (a) procedure...

...How do you correct your student’s grammar mistakes? Instructors often lament the sloppiness of their students’ writing. Grammatical problems abound in college student writing, and when student papers are filled with errors, many teachers feel obligated to correct every sentence-level error they see. While marking each error can be an extremely time-consuming task, it is always the hope that students will read these comments and learn from the corrections. Is this really what happens? Is the time well spent? Unfortunately correcting errors for students will probably not help them learn to correct errors themselves. Only the most conscientious students will pour over your comments and reach for their grammar handbooks for additional information. Rather, in cases where every error is marked and corrected, the student will likely believe that the instructor has done all the work, and that little revision is necessary beyond that indicated by the corrections. If students are not given a chance to revise work, chances are good that they will not attend to your comments at all. Another downfall to correcting every spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization error in a student paper is that it can end up taking the focus of your comments off the content and organization of the piece. Even if you are careful to attend to both mechanics and content, it is important to keep in mind that students can be easily overwhelmed...

...This can only be done if each tool has a specific place where it is stored that allows for quick identification if the tool is missing. There are several ways to do this. Tool shadowing This involves specifying a specific space for each tool. It should be designed in such a way as to quickly determine if a tool is missing. A popular method is to use some type of foam product and cut out spots for each tool. In a toolroom environment, walls can be used with pegboard and hooks. The item is then outlined and shadowed. Tool identification Some companies require employees permanently mark their tools for tool identification purposes. This provides a way to quickly identify who a tool belongs to when it is found. Tools can be marked using a vibra-peen tool. Some other marking methods such as permanent marker may not be very effective in a hangar environment. If your company requires mechanics to mark their personal tools in a uniform method, be careful of the requirement. It would be best to use mechanics’ initials or the last four digits of their Social Security number as a tool ID marking. Company specific numbers such as employee numbers should be avoided. If the mechanic changes jobs to another company, these numbers will not be...
