...Effective Study Skills Are The Sole Foundation Of a Sound Education. In: Miscellaneous Effective Study Skills Are The Sole Foundation Of a Sound Education. Effective Study Skills are the Sole Foundation of a Sound Education. A sound education is the process where knowledge, skills, and values are shared and taught to others. This then helps to educate students and therefore enables them to succeed in their studies. Study skills are the sole foundation for a sound education as without them it would impossible for the student to discover how they learn best and which styles suit their needs when studying. Environment and time management are just two of the many factors that are crucial for any student to study effectively and achieve their goals. (Wikipedia, 2011). Environment management is a crucial part of study skills because it sets your mood for studying. Some students prefer music or noise to shut out everyday thoughts so they can concentrate on the project at hand. Others like quiet settings with a suitable room temperature depending on the individual’s preferences. “Based on your preferences, you should schedule your most challenging classes and intense study sessions in the environments that best match your needs” (Keeley, 1999). If the environment is right the student can achieve effective study time where they achieve the maximum level of knowledge that they possibly can. This therefore enables the student to achieve a sound education in a relaxed and positive...

There are many things that can be injured in your foot and ankle such as ligaments, tendons, bones, and fascia. An injury can range from inflammation of fascia or a broken bone or even torn ligaments. It is important to understand how serious foot and ankle injuries can be to the overall health of an individual. A sprain is when ligaments and tendons are torn and or stretched out(Pierre Rouzier). These injuries can take a long time to heal. Sprains are categorized by grades, the grades are usually in three levels. A ligament is a very strong band of tissue that connects bone to bone(Amy Scholton). A tendon is a very strong band that connects bone to muscle(Amy Scholton). Some tears can be so bad that you may even have to have surgery and then a couple weeks of therapy for a proper healing process (Vernada Karriem-Norwood).

The affected limb may need to be amputated when these skin ulcers do not improve, get larger, or go deeper into the skin. Worldwide, 50% of all leg amputations happen to people living with diabetes. In India, an estimated 50,000 amputations are carried out every year due to diabetes related foot problems.

...An update on Calcaneal Apophysitis (Sever’s disease) Often children between the ages of eight and thirteen attend the podiatry clinic with heel pain. One differential diagnosis is calcaneal apophysitis or otherwise known as sever’s disease. Calcaneal apophysitis is the inflammation of a calcaneal growth plate causing pain in the heel posteriorly, it is classified as a non-articular Osteochondrosis at an impact site (O’Gradaigh & Crisp, 2012). The calcaneus in a child under sixteen years contains a growth plate posteriorly. This is the section where the Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus. Around sixteen years of age, the growth plate ossifies onto the calcaneum. Sever’s disease is the disturbance or micro trauma in this growth area. Calcaneal apophysitis is more common in individuals who participate in active sport. It is a traction apophysitis of the Achilles tendon insertion at the calcaneus and is one of the most common causes of heel pain in children (Micheli & Ireland, 1987). The condition can occur in both sexes and usually resolves once bone growth has ceased. Children are usually in an active growth spurt during which time the Calcaneal apophysitis (Ogden et al, 2004) causes pain. It is thought that the long bones growth exceeds the musculature growth (posterior muscle compartment), causing pulling on the calcaneal muscle attachment. However Michelli & Ireland (1987) suggest the exact aetiology is undetermined and that it is thought to be a repetitive...

...So there I was behind the archers, knights on horseback (of course with their squires), and our “righteous” King and his cohorts. Scared does not begin to describe my feelings toward this battle that I did not volunteer for. I am just a mere foot soldier, an arrow cushion for the royals. We arrived a week ago today and it seems today will be the day of days. The Kings from our side and theirs are meeting in the middle of what will soon become the battlefield, or should I just call it what it will become, the resting place of most of us. I hope they work this out peacefully with some concessions. I am getting ahead of myself. When we first arrived we came ashore on boat and well let me just say there was nothing here, unless you count the forest. Well most of that went to constructing the Kings quarters. We found ourselves fighting over firewood to keep warm at night, although keeping warm almost came in second to just rest after our days. We work nonstop from dawn to dusk. It is just us “less” noble by birth that do all the manual labor, while the noble keep watch over us while they drink wine and we build battlements and quarters for the luckier. I find myself praying every night for this to be over, one way or the other, and at this point I am leaning toward the other, which would mean that I will never see any of you again. How I miss home. I know we work for a noble but at least we have a roof over our head and some grog and mead for our bellies. And it...

...Foot problems are one of the most common health complaints. The high incidence of foot problems is understandable given the fact that there are 26 bones, 33 joints, 112 ligaments, and tendons, nerves, and blood vessels in the foot. It’s even more understandable when the weight of the body is considered. The force of the body weight borne by the foot increases roughly 1½ times during walking and up to 3-4 times during running. Add in 10,000 steps during a typical day while wearing ill-fitted shoes possibly, and it’s a wonder one’s feet are willing to get out of bed the next day. Not all feet are created equal. To tell what type of foot one has, one can get the bottom of the feet wet, stand on a paper bag, and check the outline of foot. If a lot of the foot between the heel and forefoot can be seen, then one has a flat foot. If there is minimal contact of the midfoot between heel and forefoot, then one has a high arched foot. An outline in between is considered a neutral foot. 1. Flat Foot (Pronation) * The foot rolls inward and flattens (pronates) with weight bearing, placing increased stress on the inner foot structures. * This is typically a flexible foot, providing decreased stability during walking. * This person tends to wear out the inner side of the shoe, to include under the big toe. Calluses can be seen frequently under the base of the 2nd and 3rd toes and inside of the big toe. * If this person’s shoe is placed on a flat surface, the shoe may tilt inward...

...Tips to Maintain Good Posture We often hear that good posture is essential for good health. We recognize poor posture when we see it formed as a result of bad habits carried out over years and evident in many adults. But only few people have a real grasp of the importance and necessity of good posture. Why is good posture important? Good posture helps us stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions that place the least strain on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement and weight-bearing activities. Correct posture: • Helps us keep bones and joints in correct alignment so that our muscles are used correctly, decreasing the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in degenerative arthritis and joint pain. • Reduces the stress on the ligaments holding the spinal joints together, minimizing the likelihood of injury. • Allows muscles to work more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy and, therefore, preventing muscle fatigue. • Helps prevent muscle strain, overuse disorders, and even back and muscular pain. Several factors contribute to poor posture-most commonly, stress, obesity, pregnancy, weak postural muscles, abnormally tight muscles, and high-heeled shoes. In addition, decreased flexibility, a poor work environment, incorrect working posture, and unhealthy sitting and standing habits can also contribute to poor body positioning. How do I sit properly? • Keep your feet on the floor or on a footrest, if they don't reach the floor. • Don't cross your...
