...as a supernatural figure. The Stele of Naram-Sin is carved into pink sandstone and stands a staggering 6 feet and 7 inches tall. It was discovered by French archaeologists slightly before 1900 on the Iranian site of Susa and it’s currently in the Louvre Museum. The human figures depicted on the stele are carved in a way that they are popping out of the flat pink sandstone surface. The relief illustrates Naram-Sin and his soldiers marching up a mountain conquering the Lullubi people who lived on the mountains in the eastern region of Mesopotamia. The battle event on the relief was illustrated by the use of one overall dramatic scene; an innovative art technique at the time because previously Sumerian art illustrated events in horizontal bands. Naram-Sin’s army is marching up the mountain in a disciplined manner by being in an erect stance and marching in perfect alignment. As they march up, Naram-Sin’s...

...In the article “When Theodore Roosevelt Saved Football” by Bruce Watson, the authors’ main purpose for the article is to inform the audience about how the 26th president of the united states changed football. The game of football that we have grown to love today, used to be very deadly. In today's era you see pro-football players suiting up in what some may say full body armor, which consists of a helmet, hip pads, shoulder and chest pads, and much more. But back in the early 1900s they didn't have that luxury. Their helmets were just leather and their padding was very flimsy. Forty-Five people died playing football whether on college or high school fields during Roosevelt's first term. In the act to help the game that was being under attack...

...Some people believe that football is too dangerous and younger ages should not be able to participate. ”Studies have shown that 47% of high school football players have suffered from a concussion each season and 37% have had multiple.” Gina Shaw (2009) Parents were getting concerned which caused them to make new rules to help protect players from head injuries. There is a rule that if a player’s helmet falls off then the play is immediately whistled dead, there is a rule that players who have had a concussion can only play if they’ve been cleared by a neurologist, and many states now have laws that require athletes to be removed from competition or practice if a concussion is suspected. Soccer too has had many problems with people believing that it is too dangerous with players receiving an excessive amount of concussions from heading the ball. People argue that they should wear more protective gear, especially on their...

...“hi, cum est usus atque aliquod bellum indicit – quod ante Caesaris adventum fere quotannis accidere solebat, uti aut ipsi iniurias inferrent aut inlatas propulsarent -, omnes in bello versantur . . . ” “Whenever the need arose and a war broke out – which as a rule happened every year before Caesars arrival that they either opened up hostilities themselves or had to defend against -, they all joined the battle . . .” (Caesar, De Belli Gallico VI – 15,1) Caesar may be a biased source, but his statement tells us a lot about the role of war in ancient Celtic society: it was an important part of life, primarily for the nobility, but, to a lesser degree, also for the average man. We see a similar picture if we take a look at the Irish or Welsh legends, where the heroes go off to fights, most often one at a time or in small groups, but often in the company of their followers and clients to fight mass battles. A Short, Short History of Celtic Expansion and Retreat Before we look into ancient Celtic warfare itself, it is necessary to define what time and geographical region I will be talking about. Even though Celtic culture developed probably some centuries earlier, the oldest material I’ll be discussing dates to the beginning of the 5th century BC in central Europe. From that point, the culture expanded until, in the 3rd century BC, it reached its greatest extent with Celts living in Ireland and Spain in the West and as far as Galatia in Asia Minor in the East. This was partly...

At this time, we as his pediatrician recognized that acceptable and appropriate treatment was cranial orthosis since repositioning was not having any effect.

Due to the insurance issues that the patient was having during the time, he was referred out but was unable to pay for therapy out of pocket.

...Pin Firing I am about to purchase a gelding who is off the track. I notice he has lines of scars on his cannons that the owner says are from "pin firing." What is pin firing, what is its purpose, and how often is it performed? Is there any longterm damage as a result? via e-mail Pin firing or thermocautery has therapeutic value for certain conditions in the horse. When done properly, the AAEP considers pin firing an acceptable form of therapy. (Editor's note: In 2006, the AAEP updated its position on pin firing to read: “Thermocautery may have therapeutic value for certain conditions in the horse. When applied judiciously and in conjunction with appropriate analgesia and aftercare, the AAEP considers the modality an acceptable form of therapy in cases that have proven refractory to conventional treatment.”) Pin firing is a therapy that uses a small, red-hot probe to cause cauterization (burning) of tissue in horses with chronic injuries to produce an abundant, serous inflammatory process. As opposed to other inflammation processes such as infections or bruising, serum has little or no fibrin (clotting material) or cellular content and does not coagulate. Firing causes maximal exudation, or oozing, and minimal tissue degeneration. The flooding of serum seems to flush out any chronic irritation, and it does not displace old scar tissue. Firing is done more often in racehorses than in other performance horses, and has been used for more than a century in conditions of recurring...

...Positive Physical Experience The summer after my freshman year in college I’ve came back to my hometown with a different perspective of health and a different level of determination when it comes to my healthy lifestyle and how hard I train. While in school I had learned about ways the body functions and how much your body can take. I looked at how I lived my life and saw that I wanted badly to be known as the healthy friend and the one that is really strong. My eating habits were decent compared to what the average human eats, but for the amount of weight lifting and amount of physical activity I did daily I was actually hurting myself. The knowledge I obtained from school helped me find a better choice of food for the amount of physical activity to be supported by. This soon helped me increase my limits in the weight room. A few days later I had already began to feel the difference in my energy level and my metabolism increased rapidly. I was always hungry but never gained weight because I was always working out or playing basketball. The two guys I workout with play at D1 schools for football and struggle with my workouts. I better when I have people that can keep up with me in the weight room. One this particular squat day my legs felt like jell-o after because I did 435 lbs five times for the first time since high school. We had to play against some guys who had played over seas in basket ball a few minutes after and I didn’t know if I could handle it. We started...

...Anna Colwell Mrs. Nelson World History (2nd Hour) 28 October, 2013 Gladiators Gladiators were a big part of Roman culture. The gladiatorial games were a common sport form 310BC until the Roman Empire had fallen. For many people, these games were fun to watch and a source of entertainment. To others, such as the ones fighting, it was frightening and some knew that they would never make it out alive. All of this was first recorded in 310BC. The movie Gladiator follows some of what was true about Rome’s gladiator life, but it also has its own little touches that are not historically correct. History and the movie both claim that Commodus was Marcus Aurelius’ son. Also in the movie, it was told that Commodus had killed Marcus Aurelius, which was not true. Commodus was portrayed as a man in his mid twenties and averaged sized, tan, and with dark hair. In real life, Commodus was only 18 and was muscular, fair, and left-handed. In the movie, Commodus was told to not train because he did not need it. The gladiators were trained for a long time and not treated as a well thought-of citizen, but they were higher up than slaves. One thing that was historically correct in both the movie and in history was that Lucilla had a son with Pomeianus. His name was Arelius Commodus Pomeianus. Commodus was a gladiator in both the movie, and in history. A gladiator was a guilty criminal, a prisoner of war, or a slave bought to fight in the gladiatorial games by an owner. The professional...

The 100-yard kelly green field with its white horizontal stripes dominates the scene. The players, Daleville dressed in red and black and Enterprise in navy blue and white line opposite sides with the bleachers rising up behind them. They seem like giants in tremendous shoulder and leg pads with helmets crowning their black smudged eyes. Furthermore, around the field cheerleaders in short skirts dance in precision to tunes from their respective bands. Fans, including parents, students, and community residents, from each team don their school’s colors in displays of support. This sell-out crowd, with tension-filled faces has come to witness the ultimate showdown. Included in these masses, up in...

...even sit through, despite the fact that much of the material is interesting in its own right. Oddly, but perhaps predictably, the problem is the resolutely conventional and soft-headed way in which that material has been assembled. Given the chance to do whatever they wanted, the filmmakers ended up with something resembling a sentimental credit-card commercial stretched to feature length: a chronological pseudonarrative that intersperses obvious montages — people getting out of bed, people making coffee — with more specific biographical passages and sets it all to a sugary, manipulative soundtrack. (There are some violent or emotionally difficult moments, but the overall tone remains gee-whiz.) The most compelling scenes — a girl with a helmet-cam climbing to the top of a human tower at a circus; a man and his son saying morning prayers before a photograph of an absent woman — are like trailers for films we won’t get to see. Otherwise, “Life in a Day” is “Koyaanisqatsi” minus the consistent visual imagination that made that film bearable. But rest assured: several of the contributors knew how to do time-lapse shots of gathering clouds. Although fine artists have used crowdsourcing during the “Relational Art” movement in the 90s to produce works of art long before the word even existed, more creative organizations are experimenting with it. This Movie is Broken, a film which recently...

...When I was eight, I learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. I remember it like it was yesterday, it was during the summer so it was very sunny; and my house stood in a cul-de-sac. My mopm, brother, and I all walked outside through the garage standing in the driveway while my mom helped gear us all up. Straping helmets, kneepads getting ready for the big day, I then started to roll my bike back out onto the driveway wondering to myself if I could actually do this. I turn to my mom with a face giving away an expression of discouragement, so I asked my mom " can I really do this". She looks at me with a slight grin and replies with " I know you can, just circle around in the cul- de- sac and come back up. I then took a deep breathe, looked out straight ahead, hopped onto my bike trying to feel for my balance; and whoosh...down the street I go. I feel the wind hitting my face...coming to realization I'm actually doing it, now heading back up to the house while listening to the cheers in the background all ending in a big hug. When I was 10, I started to become very interested in learning everything there is to know on dogs and if you asked I could name any dog just by looking at it's shape and size. I would even wake up early every Saturday morning just to see my favorite show " It's me or the Dog", which was basically about learning to care and train your own dog. Little did I know that the road trip we had taken that afternoon on December 24, 2008 was going to be...

...The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien ENG 1300 W5A2 Andrea Carr South University Online The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien “The Things They Carried” is one of several short stories written by Tim O’Brien that brilliantly portrays a squad of young American soldiers in the Vietnam War. Each of the short stories builds on the last but in The Things They Carried the author places focus on how immature boys cope and their transformation into young men and responsible leaders. O’Brien is not a character in the story but the fact that he is fluent with military lingo and conveys great passion and a working knowledge of the military suggests that he was a soldier. He tells his war story of soldiers’ experiences with obsession, duty, regret, burden, comradely and maturing. He achieves this by describing every facet of the items they carried with great accuracy and detail. The things they carried as they are depicted in the story represent literal things, emotional things, psychological things and symbolic things all weighing in at different levels of importance. There were physical as well as emotional things they carried on their missions, both were equally burdensome. O’Brien states that during missions many of these items were discarded no regardless of their importance to achieve a higher level of comfort. The author further states that the choppers would effortlessly replace the discarded items. In research conducted by Michael Tavel Clarke he implies...
