...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...

...accurate and reliable. This guide is to help assess reputable websites. Surfing the WEB There is a lot of information available on the World Wide Web today. Deciphering what is accurate and creditable requires a closer look. When accessing information, these steps should be followed. First, locate the authors name, look for any credentials, locate the contact information, and what authority does the author have on this topic. Second, take note on who published the site, what links are connected to it and at the bottom of the web page look for the date of publication. Examine the domain or URL. Dot gov means a US government site, .mil means a US military site, and .edu means an accredited post secondary educational institution. Dot com means a commercial for profit site, .org means a noncommercial, not for profit entity, .net means a computer network, and .int means an international organization. Lastly, determine the sites purpose. Is it trying to sell something, persuade you, or just providing you with information. Investigating the areas will aid in evaluating websites. The author may have a PhD or be a professor but that does not make him and expert on topics not related to the field of practice or study. Taking not on the publishers helps determine the motive and correlation to the author. Looking at the date of publication helps determine how recent the information is and when last updated.

...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...

...Individual Analyzing Internet Sources Week 2 What did you learn? I learned more than I expected from the Pearson student lab activities. In the first activity I knew most of the information presented, but in the second activity I learned quite a bit about researching a topic. I did not know that the URL .org is no longer limited to a non-profit or research organization; which makes it harder to use that as a reliable resource but it can still be useful. I learned it is important to look for non-bias opinions, information with publish dates are resourceful, research based, and the best domains to find good information on are .org, .gov, .mil, and .edu. Although just because the site has one of these domains it does not mean the resource is accurate or correct necessarily. What did you not learn? Well as I said in the previous paragraph in the first activity most of the information that was present I acquired before. The comparison between the library and the internet are basic knowledge to most people. The Library is based for research purposes, with trained staff to help you, but closes at certain times. The internet has multiple reasons for use, with no trained assistance, but it never closes. They each have great traits that can be used for study. I also knew it is not safe to purchase items online you must be careful when doing this. You need to do research and make sure the site is reliable. Some people think because a paper has a title and author that it is true but...

...ntroduction Since the introduction of dot.com companies in the late 90's to the way we do e-Business in today's market. Dot.com companies were a collection of start up companies selling products or service using the Internet. e-Business on the other hand is opening new avenues of collaboration in the apparel and retail industries, and companies across the supply chain. They proliferated in the late 1990's dot.com boom, a speculative frenzy of investment in Internet and Internet-related technicial stock and enterprises. The name derives from the fact that many of them have the ".com" internet top level domain suffix built into their company name. (Remember why the dot. com companies tanked?) Modell's Sporting Goods is the nation's oldest, family-owned and operated, retailer of sporting goods, sporting attire, for men, women and children wear and brand name athletic footwear. Modells.com (e-Business) currently offers a large collection of products from top name brands in the sporting goods and clothing business and has prospered from its e-business. Modell's has taken full advantage of its e-business opportunity like most of the dot.com companies but survived the rise and fall of the boom. The electronic medium (Internet) has reduced or eliminated many costs associated with doing store front business. For example: investment in real estate and facilities are reduced, and certain administrative costs related to these stores have been eliminated. Moreover, the accomplishment...

...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...

...an alternative to improve the situation. * Year 2004: Amazon.com adopted a new strategy that was based on innovation. They decided to expand their product range to sell others items and to diversify its offer. Moreover they tried to make their products more affordable thanks to discounts (30% on books over $15) and an additional discount was offered to the customer who used the Amazon’s A9 search engine. This strategy allowed them to make more profits and re-launch the company. Then, they acquired Joyo.com that is website in corporation in order to be more international. Besides, they created more internet domains such as .de that is the denomination of the Deutsch Amazon’s website (internationalization). They innovated thanks to A9.com which builds innovative search technologies. Amazon.com diversified its offer by creating two new product categories: beauty and jewellery (75 000 products). There is a large category of prices from cheap to expensive ($13/$93 000). The main objective is to be the single shopping place on the web. The project “Search inside the book” was to make easier the access to books that were previously scanned and offered the biggest database. To finish, Amazon.com established a co-branded credit card with a bank in UK in order to secure the loyalty of customers. Some problems appeared with numerous breakdowns and litigious actions that made the firm lose thousands of customers. * Year 2005: Amazon.com revenue...

...if I should sit Alfred Zingale and Matthias Arndt next to each other. It wasn’t that I was worried about conflicting views, actually it was quiet the contrary, and I didn’t want them to be able to double team the other guests. Finally I decided that just because they have essentially the same opinions, I wouldn’t separate them. In my mind they come as a unit because they had co-authored a book. The place cards had been set and I made up my mind that I would do no more rearranging. I bent over the table in my grey sleeveless dress and lit the deep red candles that were extending upward out of the floral arrangement. The guests would be arriving soon and I began to think over the whole situation. Each person has written a book about the dot com industry, how they can be successful as well as how to invest wisely in one. I was hoping to learn a lot of information so I could make a good decision on whether my company would benefit from being online. These thoughts drifted through my head until the doorbell rang. I opened the door to a short plump woman with reddish brown hair in her late 40’s was standing on my stoop. She wore a pale green dress suit, but looked quite attractive. She extended her arm, shook my hand and introduced herself as Anita Rosen. As the only woman who was attending the dinner party that night, it was a given who she was, but all the same she was quite pleasant. John Cassidy was next to arrive. He looked like the typical “guy next door” type. I bet he...

...Opening a book creates a whole new world of exploration of the imagination. Every turn of the sharp crisp pages leads to a new discovery, an intriguing sense of the mind to where you will never be capable of putting a book down for even a second. As a child there are countless memories I can recollect of learning to read and experiencing that same exact feeling. Many people have been influential in the process of my own literary advancement over the years. Only a few of those people stick out very vividly in my mind, Mrs.Kathy, Mrs.Shannon, and my grandfather Odom. Mrs.Kathy was one of the first individuals to introduce me to reading and it all started with bedtime stories. I can remember crawling into the tall hickory wood sleigh bed in the guest room and bundling up with every stitch of blanket underneath the reading lamp. The eagerness that set in my brain could not wait for Mrs.Kathy to turn the first page and dive into a world of imagination. As she sat down on the edge of the bed she would start reading excerpts out of an old story book. While she was reading I would read along in my mind until I could only hear a faint whisper of her voice following silence as I drifted into a light sleep. Afterwards, I would hear the lamp switch make a clicking sound and the door creak as it came to a shut. Laying there in silence for a few minutes I would roll over, turn the lamp on, pick the old story book back up and read page after page until my hearts content. It was in those moments...

...Context Prompt: Our relationships with others help us to define who we are. Our identity is what we perceive ourselves to be as well as how others view us. One’s identity is therefore an essential element in defining themselves. For that reason, it is especially important that we are comfortable with our identity. As individuals, people have unique characteristics and personalities as well as belonging to groups that influence such factors as their lives go on. Although great emphasis is put on creating ones identity alone, a number of factors such as ones appearance, society, environment, religion and race can shape our identities thus help us to define who we are. It is also believed that our genetic makeup has a large role in determining who we are. Our identity can be considerably shaped by our appearance. Physical appearance is the first, and often most important, and most lasting impression others get of us. Society will create different assumptions about others based on simple factors such as ones fashion and ones physical qualities. As a result, many will adjust their identities to be accepted by society. For example, people tailoring their personal appearance to fit what they want others to see them as. An individual who dresses very formally is likely to want others to view them as high class or wealthy. Although, factors such as height and skin colour cannot be so easily altered and depends on ones genetics. The effects of appearance on our identity can be...

...Measuring Speed Introduction: Speed is defined as the rate of change of position or the rate of motion. A rate is the ratio between two different quantities. Motion is described with respect to, or relative to, another object called a reference point or frame of reference. Usually the Earth is considered to be stationary and is often the frame of reference. Speed is a relative quantity that depends upon the frame of reference -- how an object is observed and measured. Average speed is total distance traveled divided by the total time traveled. average speed = total distance or speed = d where d is distance and t is time total time traveled t Another way to measure speed is called instantaneous speed. This type is one of the most common ways we measure speed. Instantaneous speed is the measurement of speed at a particular instant. 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...
