...Kristen Cuce Professor Price Discussion 2 July 13, 2016 I chose to discuss and answer questions to the poem “Hazel Tells LaVerne” by Katharyn Howd Machan. 1. Who is the speaker? Is it possible to determine the speaker’s age, sex, sensibilities, level of awareness, and values? The speaker is Hazel. She is a woman who seems to be of lower class and a bit uneducated due to the way some of the words are spelled. 5. Does reading this poem out loud help you understand it? Reading this particular poem out loud did help me understand it a bit more. By reading it aloud I was able to pronounce certain words such as “hitsm” and “sohelpmegod”. It also gave me the idea that she may have been speaking with an accent with the way some words are spelled. 7. What does the title emphasize? I think the title emphasizes that this is a story from one person to another person, or in this case a frog. After reading the poem I can also tell from the title that by giving the frog a name they are making it to be as if he is a person. 14. What is the tone of the poem? Is the tone consistent? I believe the tone of the poem is playful. It is a woman talking to a frog in a bathroom about becoming a princess. However, I think that the tone changes when the frog asks her to kiss him. She becomes serious and screams “ya little green pervert” and continues to flush him down the toilet. 20. Did you enjoy reading the poem? What, specifically, pleased or displeased you about what was expressed...

...Meagan Kolakowski December 3, 2012 Dance Injury The Dancer’s Fracture, which is a fracture to the 5th metatarsal bone, is actually more common to dancers then you think. I never heard of this injury before so I was really interested and intrigued when I saw this on my card. Another name for this injury is Jones fracture. Signs and symptoms: When pressing on the outside of the foot, there will be tenderness at the base of 5th metatarsal. There may also be tenderness over a large area of the outside the foot. However, the main tenderness will be at the base of the 5th metatarsal. Typically, the blood supply and sensation to the foot is normal. It is determined at the exam if the patient can still move their foot to the outside (eversion of the foot). This is done by placing the foot in an everted position and asking them to maintain that position while applying some resistance. This allows the doctor to gain access of the injured tendons that evert the foot. Doing this usually creates some discomfort for the patient. However, they usually are able to perform the action. Other symptoms include pain, swelling, severe bruising, severe pain while walking, and/or complete immobility. Anatomy of the region: I believe the 5th metatarsal joint is a hinge joint because it is similar to the knee in the range of motion it has. Two of the major muscles that are in this region are the peroneus brevis tendon and the peroneus tertius tendon which connects right to the fifth...

...treatment and symptoms refer appendix I). One approach to reducing the symptoms of PD is through the use of exercise. Traditional exercise approaches to deal with gait and balance difficulties may include dynamic balance training, treadmill training, or strength training. Recommendations have been made regarding key components of an exercise program designed for those with PD. Keus et al. recommend four key areas: i) cueing strategies to improve gait, ii) cognitive movement strategies to improve transfers, iii) exercises to improve balance, and iv) training of joint mobility and muscle power to improve physical capacity. Dance as a Form of Exercise: Dance is an activity that is performed with music. (i) The music may serve as an external cue to facilitate movement, thus addressing the first recommended component which is the use of external cues.

...Occupational Therapy: Political Engagement and Social Transformation Occupational Therapy: Political Engagement and Social Transformation An international occupational therapy movement that embraces political engagement and social transformation has been forming (Frank & Zemke, 2009). There has been a shift away from the medical model in the last 30 years (Frank et al, 2009). The political factors and societal factors that play a role in this shift strongly stem from the human rights movement (Andrews, 2013). Andrews (2013) categorizes the human rights movement in three categories: 1) proliferations of human rights, 2) growing human rights culture, and 3) human rights violations by nations and private sector. Andrews (2013) outlines defining historical events that contributed to the human rights movement as the aftermath of WWII, the end of the Cold War, the 1993 Vienna Declaration of Human Rights that defined woman’s rights, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and the recent global economic crisis. The world has developed a growing negative attitude towards those who discriminate against race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and disability. According to Lang (2001), the social transformation model arouse out of critique of the medical model that focuses on the individuals’ physiological and functional abilities. This is now a shift towards a focus on society’s ability to integrate individuals successfully. Incompatible physical...

(B) Calisthenics enters the historical record at around 480 B.C., with Herodotus’ account of the Battle of Thermopolylae. Herodotus reported that, prior to the battle, the god-king Xerxes sent a scout party to spy on his Spartan enemies. The scouts informed Xerxes that the Spartans, under the leadership of King Leonidas, were practicing some kind of bizarre, synchronised movements akin to a tribal dance. Xerxes was greatly amused. His own army was comprised of over 120,000 men, while the Spartans had just...

...Sports Injuries While researching further into the major of Physical Therapy, there was a topic that kept resurfacing. That topic was adolescent sports injuries and why/how they occur. Injuries from sports participation are a substantial cause of hospitals visits and medical bills. Sport injuries are the second leading cause of ER visits for adolescents. As I dived deeper into researching this topic I came across scholarly articles though places such as JSTOR, Google scholar, and more through the library databases. One of my favorite articles that I used throughout the semester was Taft’s. Although this article might be slightly out-of-date I think the information is still respectable and still truthful to the current date. Timothy...

...For Beethoven, the sonata form is not a scheme that can be used in caprice one day and abandoned the next. This form dominates everything he imagines and composes; it is the very mark of his creation and the form of his thought – an inherent form, a natural one. (Edwin Fischer, Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas). Beethoven’s thirty-two piano sonatas constitute a great treasure that embodies a part of the human eternity. Numerous pianists and musicologists have researched or studied them, trying to impart to their students or readers the prodigality of these true musical riches. Beethoven holds a key role in the transformation and evolution of the sonata form. Even if he maintains the characteristics initially set by his predecessors, Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven imposes on the sonata his strong personality creating a new, impressive, form of art, in which his own life, with its joys and sorrows, is projected. With Beethoven the musical theme acquires remarkable proportions, of such strength, that it imposes itself over the listener’s attention and memory. As the French composer, Vincent d’ Indy once said, with Beethoven, the musical theme turns into an concept that spreads throughout the hole work making it easily recognizable even if harmonic, modal or tonal aspects change. The fundamental principle of organization of the Beethoven piano sonata is the tonality. We can say that Beethoven perceived tonality as the key to any composition, since it leads to the true...

...ready to go to a big dance, or sitting down for a final exam. A little of this stress can help keep you on your toes, ready to rise to a challenge. And the nervous system quickly returns to its normal state, standing by to respond again when needed. But stress doesn't always happen in response to things that are immediate or that are over quickly. Ongoing or long-term events, like coping with a divorce or moving to a new neighborhood or school, can cause stress, too. Long-term stressful situations can produce a lasting, low-level stress that's hard on people. The nervous system senses continued pressure and may remain slightly activated and continue to pump out extra stress hormones over an extended period. This can wear out the body's reserves, leave a person feeling depleted or overwhelmed, weaken the body's immune system, and cause other problems. Although just enough stress can be a good thing, stress overload is a different story — too much stress isn't good for anyone. For example, feeling a little stress about a test that's coming up can motivate you to study hard. But stressing out too much over the test can make it hard to concentrate on the material you need to learn. Pressures that are too intense or last too long, or troubles that are shouldered alone, can cause people to feel stress overload. Here are some of the things that can overwhelm the body's ability to cope if they continue for a long time: being bullied or exposed to violence or injury relationship stress...

...Ecstasy is a dangerous drug that should never be taken under any circumstance. Ecstasy is in fact a synthetic methamphetamine derivative, also known as; Meth, Crystal, or Glass. MDMA has many street names which include: XTC, Go, Ecstasy, Disco Biscuit, Cristal, X, Adam, Bean, E, M, Molly, and Roll. Ecstasy is widely used at events as dance club or "rave" parties, but is not exclusive to those events. It has been used at house parties, and in school environments. A "rave" is a large event that features what has been commonly referred to as “Dance” music with lights and special effects played by D.J.s who specialize in this form of music. Raves are held in everything from night clubs to abandoned buildings to fields. Ecstasy was first synthesized in 1912 by a German company, possibly to be used as an appetite suppressant or a weight-loss drug. However, it was never marketed due to the unusual side effects of the drug. Ecstasy produces both stimulant and psychedelic effects, enabling those who take the drug to remain active for longer periods of time with less fatigue. This, in fact, is why Ecstasy is seen as a drug of choice at such events as dance raves, and other all-night activities. There is a strong misperception that use of Ecstasy is safe unless the drug is somehow tainted with some other illicit substance. In fact, Ecstasy is classified as a Schedule I Controlled Substance. Schedule I Controlled Substances have no medicinal use in the United States, and have a high potential...
