...Love 1 Skye Love ENGL 1150-020 Matt Williams 6 November 2015 Phantom of the Opera What is a disability? The term itself can be defined as “a physical or mental handicap, especially one that prevents a person from living a full, normal life” (Dictionary.com). In media, disabilities are numerous and can be depicted in a variety of ways. In the film, Phantom of the Opera, the 2004 version, directed by Joel Schumacher, stereotypes for those with disabilities arise. The reason why the Phantom of the Opera can be looked at as a film that enforces a stereotype is because of the phantom himself. Due to his deformity, the phantom presents that the disabled are evil and should be kept away from their present societies. When a present society rejects one based on their disability, they are bound to seek revenge. According to Jack Nelson’s, “Broken Images: Portrayals of Those with Disabilities in American Media”, “disabled villains rail against their “fate” and vow to...

...Estimation of optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D for multiple health outcomes1–3 Heike A Bischoff-Ferrari, Edward Giovannucci, Walter C Willett, Thomas Dietrich, and Bess Dawson-Hughes Downloaded from ajcn.nutrition.org at UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO SCIENCE LIBRARY on September 23, 2012 ABSTRACT Recent evidence suggests that vitamin D intakes above current recommendations may be associated with better health outcomes. However, optimal serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] have not been defined. This review summarizes evidence from studies that evaluated thresholds for serum 25(OH)D concentrations in relation to bone mineral density (BMD), lowerextremity function, dental health, and risk of falls, fractures, and colorectal cancer. For all endpoints, the most advantageous serum concentrations of 25(OH)D begin at 75 nmol/L (30 ng/mL), and the best are between 90 and 100 nmol/L (36 – 40 ng/mL). In most persons, these concentrations could not be reached with the currently recommended intakes of 200 and 600 IU vitamin D/d for younger and older adults, respectively. A comparison of vitamin D intakes with achieved serum concentrations of 25(OH)D for the purpose of estimating optimal intakes led us to suggest that, for bone health in younger adults and all studied outcomes in older adults, an increase in the currently recommended intake of vitamin D is warranted. An intake for all adults of 1000 IU (40 g) vitamin D (cholecalciferol)/d is needed to bring vitamin...

...American Thoracic Society ATS Statement: Guidelines for the Six-Minute Walk Test THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE AMERICAN THORACIC SOCIETY WAS APPROVED BY THE ATS BOARD OF DIRECTORS MARCH 2002 CONTENTS Purpose and Scope Background Indications and Limitations Contraindications Safety Issues Technical Aspects of the 6-Minute Walk Test Required Equipment Patient Preparation Measurements Quality Assurance Interpretation References PURPOSE AND SCOPE This statement provides practical guidelines for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Specifically, it reviews indications, details factors that influence results, presents a brief step-by-step protocol, outlines safety measures, describes proper patient preparation and procedures, and offers guidelines for clinical interpretation of results. These recommendations are not intended to limit the use of alternative protocols for research studies. We do not discuss the general topic of clinical exercise testing. As with other American Thoracic Society statements on pulmonary function testing, these guidelines come out of a consensus conference. Drafts were prepared by two members (P.L.E. and R.J.Z.) and were based on a comprehensive Medline literature search from 1970 through 2001, augmented by suggestions from other committee members. Each draft responded to comments from the working committee. The guidelines follow previously published methods as closely as possible and provide a rationale for each specific recommendation. The final recommendations...

...Acknowledgments ix Acknowledgments This book owes a great deal to the mental energy of several generations of scholars. As an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, Francis Wilson made me aware of the importance of migrant labour and Robin Hallett inspired me, and a generation of students, to study the African past. At the School of Oriental and African Studies in London I was fortunate enough to have David Birmingham as a thesis supervisor. I hope that some of his knowledge and understanding of Lusophone Africa has found its way into this book. I owe an equal debt to Shula Marks who, over the years, has provided me with criticism and inspiration. In the United States I learnt a great deal from ]eanne Penvenne, Marcia Wright and, especially, Leroy Vail. In Switzerland I benefitted from the friendship and assistance of Laurent Monier of the IUED in Geneva, Francois Iecquier of the University of Lausanne and Mariette Ouwerhand of the dépurtement évangélrlyue (the former Swiss Mission). In South Africa, Patricia Davison of the South African Museum introduced me to material culture and made me aware of the richness of difference; the late Monica Wilson taught me the fundamentals of anthropology and Andrew Spiegel and Robert Thornton struggled to keep me abreast of changes in the discipline; Sue Newton-King and Nigel Penn brought shafts of light from the eighteenthcentury to bear on early industrialism. Charles van Onselen laid a major part of the intellectual foundations on...
