...Assignment Five: Urbanization and sports—from bare knuckle boxing to Jack Johnson The sport of boxing in the twentieth century was very common within the working class, especially popular among the young men, yet there were long time competitors that strived to continue and uphold their titles within the ring, for other reasons besides having the title – reasons that young competitors would not yet fully understand. Being in the ring was a scary place to be, but with the right training and preparation, one could leave the ring with glory from defeating their opponent – exemplified by the press, and with large sums of money to make all ends meet. As young competitors joined the sport and prepared for their upcoming matches, they were more often than not competing for one reason and one reason only – the glory, the admiration, and the reputation. But there comes a time when all motivation within the ring changes. Although the boxers had nothing against each other, and the game had to be played, the incentive behind the aging boxers was no longer the same as it was during their youth. They were no longer competing just for the glory; they were now competing for their families at home; competing to make ends meet to continue to support their loved ones. When taking a look at the lifestyle behind the sport of boxing in the twentieth century for the working class, I found that a quote from the boxing movie Rocky interpreted the lifestyle quite well. The quote is as follows,...

Begrebet ’essay’ stammer egentlig fra latin ’exagium’ som bl.a. betyder ’undersøgelse’. Det er med samme betydning vi anvender genrebetegnelsen i dag, hvor et essay kan siges at være en undersøgelse, overvejelse eller refleksion over et emne og en problemstilling. Hvad er formålet med et essay? Formålet med et essay er at gå i dybden med et emne og en problemstilling ved at se det fra flere (ofte overraskende) vinkler. Men modsat en diskussion er det ikke meningen, at du skal argumentere for et bestemt synspunkt. Det kan være svært helt at forstå forskellen på et essay og en diskussion, fordi du i begge genrer kan blive bedt om at tage udgangspunkt i en tekst, og det derfor virker logisk også at diskutere den. Men det vigtigste ved et essay er, at det ikke må blive en diskussion. Man kan sige, at den store forskel er, at i et essay er emnet i fokus, i en diskussion er synspunkterne i fokus. Konkret eksempel: Krig er for mange mennesker et negativt begreb, et begreb der ofte forbindes med død, ødelæggelse og sorg. Når man som mange mennesker gør, spiller computerspil, Playstationspil osv. hver dag, er krigsspil en faktor der næsten ikke er til at undgå. Mange unge og ældre bliver draget af disse krigsspil, da det giver en form for kontekst til...

...open after balloon angioplasty (Cohen, 2006). Balloon angioplasty can weaken the arteries, sometimes causing them to collapse within a few days (Cohen, 2006). At that time, the only treatment available was emergency bypass graft surgery (Cohen, 2006). Further, angioplasty was causing restenosis in almost one-third of all patients (Cohen, 2006). Bare metal stents were developed in the mid 1980s out of a need to prevent or lower the incidences of restenosis due to angioplasty. While bare metal stents solved the problem of artery closure during the hospital stay, restenosis continued to occur in patients who received bare metal stents. In one-fourth of all cases, the stent experienced reblocking at around six months and had to be reimplanted (Cohen, 2006). Drug eluting stents were next developed in the hope that the pharmaceutical would prevent restenosis. Drug eluting stents have the same structure as a bare metal stent but are coated with a pharmaceutical. The pharmaceutical can also be contained within a thin polymer on the scaffolding of the stent to slow the release (Cohen, 2006). Drug eluting stents, in comparison to bare metal stents, decrease the risk of restenosis. However, drug elucting stents may increase the risk of stent thrombosis. Still searching for a solution that would reduce the risk of restenosis and stent thrombosis, a few companies are developing biomimetic stents. Biomimetic stents are coated with a biologic in order to improve biocompatibility...

...The novel Life Laid Bare by Jean Hatzfeld depicts the personal accounts of the survivors of the Rwandan Genocide in the east-central African nation of Rwanda during April-July of 1994. The Rwandan Genocide was a mass murdering of approximately 800,000 Tutsi minorities and moderate Hutus by the Hutu ethnic majority. This genocide took place because of power struggles between the two dominant tribes and they had always been enemies for years. There was always tension and disagreement among the two closely related groups of people. The genocide started on the morning of April 7th, a day after Hutu Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana’s and Burundi President Cyprien Ntaryamira’s plane was shot down mid-air above the Kigali airport while preparing to land. There have been speculations and assumptions, but to this day nobody knows the truth of who actually shot down the plane. This event sparked the genocide and provided the Hutus a perfect...

...1. Describe nursing care of the post angioplasty patient. A coronary angioplasty is a procedure to open an area of the arterial blockage in the heart that has become narrowed. This allows better blood flow through the artery and to the heart muscle. It is often done with a catheter that has an inflatable small sausage-shaped balloon at its tip. Coronary angioplasty is being increasingly used as a treatment for coronary artery disease; the proper evaluation and management of patients after the procedure are important issues. Although coronary angioplasty is a complex technical procedure, the methods routinely used to evaluate its results have many limitations. The management of the patient during the first 24 hours after angioplasty should focus on the prevention, detection, and if necessary treatment of acute vessel closure. Assessment: When the patient returns from the cardiac catheterization laboratory, the stability of the patient should be established initially. This will include, but is not limited to, EKG, vital signs, oxygenation level, urine output, cardiac, respiratory, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and gentle urinary assessment. Particular attention must be paid to the peripheral vascular assessment of the lower extremities. Often the patient may return from the cardiac catheterization laboratory with a sheath in place. If this is the case, the institutional procedures for caring for sheaths should be applied. Some institutions, may allow the nurse to remove that...

...Felons’ Rights to Bare Arms Felons’ Rights to Bare Arms Felons’ Rights to Bare Arms Why is it against the law for a felon to bare arms. The law applies to every criminal that served more than a year in prison ( the statute forbids not only “felons ‘ but any person convicted of “ a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year ‘ to posses a firearm or ammunition, whether the crime in question is classified as a felony or not. ). In my opinion this law should be reverse because most criminal offenders are non-violent ones and they do not have the right to defend themselves. What if a violent burglar breaks into their house and attempts to shoot them, they have no way of defending themselves ( I mean they could struggle for the gun but there I always that tiny risk of getting shot and they also could attempt to stab the burglar then they would go o jail for gun possession. I think that this law is just wrong and should be revaluated, to see if thee is some other way to allow these past offenders to bare arms. This is but just one example of the myraid collateral consequences faced by those who are convicted of a felony. Another right which felons lose is that of voting. I believe that in discussing both of these prohibitions, I agree with some other posters: that the particular crime for which someone was convicted is more important than whether the crime was a misdemeanor...

Things seems have changed. Panda fell in love with the girl, but they other bears see the girl as a good friend. Later, there are funny things happen because of this. I was wondering what is this thing that makes friendship different between opposite sex. According to this, the question I used to lead my research is “What is the difference between same sex and different sex friendship?” This question is kind of broad and what I intend to do is looking to some specific aspects about it, especially gender. I searched a few research articles and found some that fits...

...Could Rainsford Bare to hunt again? Hunting for Rainsford is like eating, it’s a necessity. Rainsford will need to kill game again, not only for his survival, but it’s like second nature to him. Rainsford may not pursue animals for enjoyment as he once did, but he will do it again, also survival is key to the lonely island, he may have been influenced from winning to continue this game, and he has based his whole life upon hunting so it’ll be a hard habit to quit. On the first note, Rainsford will hunt again because winning may affect his ego. At the end of the game “[Rainsford] had never slept in a better bed” due to the end decision of who becomes dog food and who sleeps in the winners bed, and of course this was decided by Rainsford (Connell 36). Therefore, Rainsford had shown that he beat the best, and because Zaroff unestimated someone else due to his experience and was outsmarted. Rainsford beat Zaroff, and had “won the game” (Connell 36). In hindsight, winning can possibly...

...spennende følelsen, men kanskje jeg ikke bør. Jeg tror en del av meg alltid visste at dette ville skje. Det var ikke det han gjorde eller det han sa, men det var hvordan det føltes. Men alt som går kommer tilbake, og en gang må en lande på jorda og tilbake til realiteten. Men jeg trodde aldri at jeg kom til å komme til en plass som dette, ikke meg. Men vi tror aldri ting vil skje med oss, men det kan skje alle. Men hvordan kan en djevel se ut som en engel når han smiler til deg? Det er så dumt, at hele selvtilliten og livet skal bli fullstendig ødelagt av noe så dumt og så lite. Ingen sa det skulle være lett. Kapittel 1 Vinter, sommer, vår og høst. Det er som grupper med folk. Noen er vinter og noen er sommer. En er vår og andre er høst. Bare med mennesker er det så mange flere grupper, og deretter er de gruppene delt inn i flere grupper. Årstidene kan også bli delt inn i følelser, noe som fikk meg til å sitte fast på høst. Å gå gjennom gangene venneløs og ikke vite hva jeg skal gjøre i matfri for jeg ikke har noen å sitte med er som en hjemløsperson som venter på at regnet skal slutte å falle på seg. Som oftest prøvde jeg å komme meg gjennom gangene uten å bli sett eller lagt merke til. De eneste jeg snakker med gjennom en skoledag er lærerne- om jeg er heldig nok til å være bekymret over. Men denne dagen var ikke som de alle andre dagene som hadde gått. En jente kom og satte seg med meg på det lille runde bordet i det store havet med mengder med andre folk på mange andre...

...Urban. Er det virkelig det første som skal møde de studerende. Trist. Nå, men man kan vel ikke forvente sig så meget mere, det er trods alt bare VUC. ”VUC”; jeg havde altid undret mig over hvad det egentlig var, da jeg var yngre altså. Jeg gik med en forestilling om at det var et sidste stop, for voksne, før de kunne fortsætte med deres trivielle liv. Få sig et 9 til 5-job på et kedeligt kontor, kedelig kone og kedelige børn. Skulle dette virkelig overgå mig? Det er jo alt det jeg altid har stræbet efter ikke at blive. Det er som om alt, lige meget hvor meget jeg har kæmpet imod, har ført mig mod denne dag. Første skoledag. En usædvanlig lav kvinde stiller sig ret foran mig. "Hej", siger hun. Bare hej. Jeg fortæller hende at jeg er ny, og spørger høfligt om hvor jeg skal henvende mig. Uden at sige noget, bare med et akavet smil, peger hun på et stort skilt, hvorpå der står: ”Alle nye kursister skal mødes i lokale 118 på 1. sal.” - Jeg takker og prøver at bevæge mig uden om hende, hun bliver bare stående. Besynderligt. Jeg undrer mig over hvorfor der står en klump af unge mennesker og venter ved elevatoren. Jeg tager trappen. På vej op til første sal forsøger jeg at overbevise mig selv om at det her må være det rette for mig. Selvom samtlige atomer i min krop fortæller mig det modsatte. Jeg beslutter mig for at finde kantinen, bare lige for at klare mine tanker. Gangen ned til kantinen er dekoreret med malerier, det måtte være elevmalerier, for kønne det kunne man ikke...
