...Spanking your Children, Is it okay? Every parent out there knows that a child will always misbehave. It may not be some drastic life changing wrong they will commit, but it is something they were taught is wrong. The question now isn't how to prevent this from happening, but what to do once they have done it? Most parents want to sit down and talk to their child about what they did wrong, and believe that a stern punishment is out of the question. So when, and if, is it possible to spank your children? I think when the situation is something the child needs to learn, or continues to repeat without learning, than yes a spanking is needed. Most parents will tell you they don’t ever want to be physical when it comes to punishing their child, which in some degree, is respectable. Let me ask you this however, how long before your kid learns to pretend to agree with what you are lecturing them on, or finds that they can ignore you? What about when they learn that if just saying sorry is all it takes for someone to stop lecturing them, and it becomes a new catchphrase to them? Are they really being disciplined and learning a lesson, or just finding a scape goat? Now I am not saying that every lesson needs to be taught through an aggressive way. Clearly there needs to be a balance between stern punishment and gentle punishment as it helps the child learn the difference from serious and minor wrongs. Now this can get tricky if the household has either one, or two parents. If...

...SLAP Lesion Tear A SLAP lesion tear is an injury to the shoulder. This can cause painful symptoms and difficulty with overhead activities whether they be athletic or those of daily living. In 1985, Andrews et al were the first to describe the superior labrum tear. In their experience, they identified tears of the labrum from throwing athletes located anterosuperor near the origin of the bicep tendon. The cause of the lesion to tear was the bicep tendon being pulled off the labrum from the force generated during the throwing motion. As time went on, the labral tears got categorized into four different types of classifications called SLAP lesions by Snyder in 1990. A SLAP lesion, as described by Snyder involves tears of the superior aspect of the glenoid labrum that extend anteriorly and posteriorly to the biceps insertion. As an examiner, in order to detect a SLAP lesion, there needs to be an investigation of patients activities, any previous shoulder injuries, and or any factors that could lead up to this injury. The highest incidence of SLAP lesions is seen in the 20 to 29 and 40 to 49 years of age. In order to understand the mechanism of a SLAP lesion it is best to understand the anatomy of the shoulder. The shoulder is a ball and socket joint made up of three bones: humerus that is the upper arm bone, shoulder blade of the scapula, and the clavicle. The humerus bone fits into the rounded socket of the scapula, which is called the glenoid fossa. Surrounding the outside...

...Campbell Messner HPEZ 373 4/8/14 Motion Analysis Report: Hockey Slap Shot The hockey slap shot is a complex movement involving many different joints and muscles. In game situations the hockey slap shot is usually used by defenseman, but can be utilized successfully by forwards as well. There are six phases to a hockey slap shot: backswing, downswing, pre-loading, loading, release, and follow through. The hockey slap shot is most of the time made with a carbon fiber hockey stick that has a pre-determined amount of “flex” to the stick to get the puck moving at such high velocities. Accuracy of the puck placement usually depends of whether or not the puck is struck in the loading portion of the swing or in the release portion of the swing. The follow through is also important when determining placement. Unlike most primary sports movements, the hockey slap shot is a dynamic movement where the player is moving along the ice while striking the puck. This is what allows the slap shot to be so dangerous and interesting. To begin a slap shot a player must place the puck at around the middle of their stance for best power. The first movement of the slap shot is the backswing. Depending on which side the player stick handles, right or left, the dominant hand will be first on the stick and the non-dominant placed further down the stick. For the rest of the analysis we will use a player with a left-handed shot. In the backswing of the shot this is where the kinetic energy is developed...

...The Slap When a man slaps a child who is not his own at a family barbecue, the characters of Christos Tsiolkas’s The Slap are forced to reassess their relationships with each other and their values of life. The novel is told from eight points of view, each person telling more of the story before it moves on to the perspective of another character within the book. The story begins at a barbeque and the first characters point of view you see is Hector. As you transfer from character to character the author also includes personal problems within each person that does not focus on the slapping incident of the child named Hugo. The first level of deviance is Primary. Primary deviance is committing a deviant act that is recognized as deviance but does not change your image. An example from the book is when Harry, a character at the family barbeque, does cocaine that he receives from his mistress named Kelly that the characters seem to be unaware of. The second level of deviance is Secondary. Secondary deviance is when you commit a deviant act that is recognized as deviance and changes your self- image. An example of secondary deviance is when Harry slaps a child across his face. The slapping of a child that is not his own sparks a debate between friends and family who have different viewpoints towards the disciplining of children, some believe Harry is a child abuser for his act, which eventually causes them to delve into a dispute. The third level of deviance is Tertiary. Tertiary...

...by a pitch, they immediately get first base. The batter does not have to attempt to move, but in baseball if the batter does not attempt to avoid the pitch then they are not awarded first base. Another aspect of baseball and softball is the strategy of the two sports. Softball strategy revolves around speed more than power hitters. It is more common to see slap-hitters and drag-bunters in softball than in baseball. A slap-hitter is a batter who stands on the left hand side in the back of the box. When the pitch is delivered, a slap hitter will cross their feet and bring their hips toward first base. The then will try to lightly hit or bunt the ball. After they make contact they will take off running towards first base. Slap-hitters are typically the fastest players on the tam, and slap-hitting gives them a better chance of getting on base. After bunting the ball a couple of times, a slap hitter may then try power-slapping the ball. Power slapping is when a slapper hits the ball over the infielders’ heads. This is only effective when the infielders have crept forward to better field the bunt. A drag bunt is much like a slap-hit except that it is done on the right side of the plate. A batter will surprise the infield by squaring for a bunt at the last possible second and taking off towards first base. This is an effective move because the unsuspecting infield will have to rush forward to field the bunt, giving the runner a head start for the base. While softball applies bunting...

...What are the qualities of a great story? It has to be memorable or extraordinary. The story could not take place without unique characters, and would be dull without an interesting plot. Without these qualities, a story becomes boring and is lost in the realm of mediocrity. In CBS’s hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, Ted Mosby embarks on the journey of storytelling. In the year 2030, Ted tells his two children of the epic tale of how he met their mother 25 years earlier. Seven seasons later, the story continues, and is as great as ever. Through funny, believable characters portrayed by excellent actors, gut busting humor, and an emotionally appealing storyline, this show has become a staple of primetime television. Over the course of seven seasons, viewers of the show have seen great changes to the characters, but they retain the initial qualities that made them beloved from the first season. Josh Radnor plays the main character, Ted Mosby. Ted is an architect living in an apartment in New York City with his roommate from college, Marshall Eriksen, played by Jason Segel, and his girlfriend Lily, played by Alyson Hannigan. Played by Neil Patrick Harris, Barney Stinson is the womanizing “wingman” who helps Ted with his endeavors as a bachelor. On one of Barney and Ted’s bar-scene adventures, Ted meets the girl of his dreams, Robin Scherbatsky, played by Cobie Smulders. Ted can be easily described as a helpless romantic. He tries his best to believe...

...CIA’s way of getting valuable information from these captured terrorists or possible terrorists they use enhanced interrogation on the terrorists. They use this technique in many different ways in order to make the prisoners give in and give them the information that they know. “The CIA source described a list of six “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques” instituted in mid-March 2002 and used, they said, on a dozen top al Qaeda targets incarcerated isolation at secret locations on military bases in regions from Asia to Eastern Europe” (Ross). The many techniques are the “The Attention Grab” where the interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him, “The Attention Slap” where an open-handed slap is aimed at causing pain and triggering fear, “The Belly Slap” where the slap the stomach which they say is better than punching so it does not cause internal damage, “Long Time standing” where the prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours which makes them exhausted and many more (Ross). The U.S CIA has used this interrogation to get many valuable information from these prisoners and they would be willing to do anything to get the information. If they a have a situation where a prisoner knows the information that they need this enhanced interrogation is useful in getting that information. “Given this state of affairs-in particular given that there is still time to prevent an imminent atrocity-it...

...Track Workouts First two weeks: Stretch as a team, then separate into 3 main groups: (1) Endurance athletes, (2) Mid-distance (3) sprinters, jumpers, throwers. Team leaders per group will be helpful. Train event specific. Research shows specificity of training will negatively or positively impact performance if the workouts are not event specific. During stretching use 30-seconds stretch hold positions for the first two weeks, but switch to dynamic stretching after two weeks. Research shows static stretching will slightly impair speed and strength for up to an hour afterwards, which is desirable the first two weeks to prevent injury. Training principles: Train event specific! Focusing on quality of training improves performance, quantity training decreases performance, even for endurance athletes. Training sequence: Heavy/light/heavy/light/off (one of the heavy days needs to have a killer ladder) Train all three muscle fibers; slow, fast, and super fast “Train fast to be fast.” Running, jumping or throwing at slower than performance will decrease future performance unless it is for strength training or technique. Most races are lost based not by the lack of endurance, but the lack of speed. In track and field, athletes are on their own during meets to a degree, and it’s important to train athletes to prepare themselves for their events. Training process: Post workouts, have group leaders check off athletes as they finish their daily workout...

...punctual. This can also lead a person to believe he or she is capable of handling timelines and deadlines. The use of space, known as proxemics, is the distance stood when speaking with others. If a person stands close to another while speaking, it shows a level of closeness. However, if the person stands further than away, it is more than likely someone they are not familiar with personally, such as a speaker, a boss, or someone newly introduced. Haptic is the use of touch. Using this technique could assist in a person expressing trust, care, or concern if used in “soft form” such as a hug, light touch on the arm or a pat on the back. However, if used in “hard form” it can be quite the opposite. For example a hard slap on the back can be perceived as overzealous. A slap in the face can show anger. A too firm handshake can show a need for showing off one’s strength. Vocalic is the study of the rate, pitch, and volume of messages. A message may be perceived differently, depending on how the message is delivered. For example, “come here” can seem threatening if said very loud, at a high pitch and spoken quickly. But if said softly, slowly, and drawn out it can mean quite the opposite. Personal style plays a...
