...Dandan Zhao Professor Scott Duchesne Contemporary Cinema *2500 20 June 2013 Back to Future This movie’s main point is that Marty‘s family how is changing once he done something in the 1955, Since Marty back to 1955, he is helping his father to be brave man and help his mother and father to be together. Because having Marty's participation in 1955, Marty’s family life style has a huge difference than before. (Back to Future). Through watching Back to Future, I think time is important staff; one is that people can change. It is embodied by George McFly. The suggestion is that if we can identify our mistakes and our limitations, we can correct them and improve ourselves. The other theme is that we don’t change. That life has chosen a path for us and we’re just along for the ride. This is also presented, in cinematic irony, through George McFly. Despite this massive interruption into his life by a futuristic person, leading to a significant amount of personal growth, he ultimately ends up with the same result as before. However, if people change, the lives would be little different which can affect people the rest of life time, such as different salary, different respect, but same children, wife, home. In conclusion, family is important for everyone, so for having happiness family, people need to be brave. Also, all people want to change things happened in the past, but in the real world, we do not have car for backing the past. So the only way is that change now, because...

...Chronic back pain can occur due to a variety of situations. It is a difficult condition to live with and even more difficult for a medical provider to treat. This is because the spine is literally the backbone of your body. It is why you can sit down and stand up, walk and bend over. Feeling and movement would not exist as we know it without these 24 vertebrae lined up vertically in your back. Each of these vertebrae provide support and structure. They hold and protect your spinal cord and when something goes wrong in this area, the nerves and tendons attaching to and moving through them are affected. Pain, numbness, tingling and loss of feeling or movement can result. How the damage occurs is key to treating the problem. Most chronic problems develop from acute or one time conditions that are not addressed. There are many contributing factors that increase the chances your spine can be injured and become a long term or chronic condition. Because our vertebrae are bones, they are made up of salts which are minerals. The tendons and muscles that attach to them are elastic and they need to be flexible yet strong. Many people do not take the time to “feed” their spine and stretch their muscles. Feeding your spine mineral supplements along with vitamin D can help keep your vertebrae strong. Over the years the bones can degrade, and these minerals and vitamin are the hammers and nails that keep your bones strong. What exercise does for the muscles and tendons, minerals...

Stretching: Perform 4–6 minutes of flexibility exercises. By Ken and Stephanie Weichert SGT KEN, At my APFT in 2007, I weighed in at 201 pounds and 49 percent body fat. I could barely squeeze out 10 push-ups and 15 sit-ups. After Advanced Individual Training, it got worse. I took up smoking and ate too much. As my health sank, I was losing my desire to be a good Soldier. Even so, my commander had hope for me. He thought I’d make a good leader if I could get it together, and encouraged me to apply for Officer Candidate School. I passed, but barely, because of my poor fitness. I knew I had to get better. I turned to your column in GX. The advice helped me implement fitness into my daily life. I walked. Then ran. I weight-trained. I did your exercises as best I could. In March 2008, when I started Officer Candidate School, I weighed in at 169, 31 percent body fat. But I still needed to do more, in order to ship to phase one. Thanks to your program, on my last APFT during OCS, I knocked out over 50 push-ups, over 70 sit-ups, and ran my 2-mile in 16 minutes flat. I went from being an overweight specialist to a second lieutenant who has a desire to lead by example. My cadre at OCS called me a motivation and an inspiring...

...Understanding and Preventing Back Pain February 23, 2014 Professor Lee, Olympic College Today could quite possibly be the day that you learn more about trying to take care of your body to help prevent yourself from future back pain or even possibly getting rid of that agonizing back pain. Back pain is one of the most common medical issues that people have, affecting most people at least once in their lifetime. The spine consists of two main parts; the spine and the back muscles. Your spine consists of bones called vertebras which are joined together by facet joints in which each vertebra has four. Separating the vertebras are soft intervertebral discs. These discs allow your spine to move as well as act as a cushion to absorb shock and vibration that is caused by walking, running, and jumping, among other daily actions. Inside the vertebrae, is your spinal cord. The vertebrae helps to protect the spinal cord from getting damaged. Nerves branch off to various organs within the body, carrying signals from the brain to the organs, muscles, and extremities. Nerves also carry signals from different parts of your body to the brain when it sensation. Then you have your back muscles which are attached to the spine to help keep it stabilized. So as you can see, your back is very important, and keeping it strong will help to protect your spinal cord. Back pain can be caused by a variety of different reasons. The most common cause of back pain is muscles spasms. Muscles...

...remaining. Practice seemed to be going on forever. I stood by this big window getting ready to practice the turn I was having trouble with while watching my coach walk towards the front of the building to talk to one of the parents. Once I saw her reach her destination, I started to practice. After a few minutes of practicing I became really frustrated about not being able to get my turn correct, I took a deep breath and tried again. Suddenly, my foot slipped out from underneath me and I feel the ground rising up to meet me. I shut my eyes, preparing myself for the pain that was sure to come. The pain I felt when I hit the ground was something far worse than I prepared for. My back erupted in sharp-shooting pain that left me paralyzed in my left leg and the left side of my back. While lying on the ground I thought to myself, I don’t think I’m going to be able to get off the ground. A few minutes later I finally got the courage to stand. Making my way slowly towards my coach, I walked up to her saying, “I just fell and my left leg and side went numb, now it’s just tingling.” “Oh, you will be okay; just keep practicing.” She responded. I looked at her thinking to myself, Are you crazy? I walked off going to do what she told me, even though I was terrified of falling again. Later that night I came home in excruciating pain. No matter what position I either stood, sat or lied in, I could not get relief. I walked into my parents room and found them...

...Low back pain by young athletes; is practicing sports, prevention or a risk factor to develop low back pain? Ziva Tavcar, Msc Human Movement Science Clinique Valmont, Switzerland Introduction Low back pain is a common problem in a modern society and is present also among pre- and adolescents as well by young athletes. Relationship between low back pain and physical activity shows that physical and psychical factors of over active or inactive life-style lead among genetically predisposed individuals to a higher risk for low back pain. Thus better understanding of a problem, earlier diagnostic and right management prevent earlier apparition of recurrences and chronicity in adulthood. Spinal pain Spinal pain appears due to variety of symptoms, which are experienced at least once in a lifetime by approximately 80% of a general population [1]. Classification of spinal pain concerns affected region (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, or irradiation in the limbs), duration (acute, sub-acute, chronic), or level of functional disability [1]. Lumbar pain is determined as a pain, muscle tension or stiffness that occurs between the last thoracic vertebra and the lower gluteal folds, with or without leg pain [1–3]. Chronic low back pain appears more often by working population in adulthood [1] and fluctuates during time, appears at different occurrences with different intensities and disability [4]. The complexity of symptoms could be associated with physical, psychical and recently genetic...

...Low back Pain Student’s Name Institution Discussion Question- Low back Pain The discussion question that I am handling in this paper is related to low back pain. Most patients report having encountered low back pain at one time or another. Most of low back pain cases are not related to physical injury (Dagenais, 2012). My interest in this paper is to come up with a Comprehensive Teaching Plan for a patient diagnosed with low back pain that cannot be traced to any particular injury. My teaching program will comprise of three sections, these are general information concerning acute back pain, how to diagnose back pain and how patients can manage back pain (Ferguson, 2009). The primary cause of low back pain cannot be identified. Acute back pain is mostly encountered in primary care practices. Acute back pain is a symptom that is mainly caused by injury or disease to the bones, muscles and the nerves (Swezey & Calin, 2006). Pain arising from other organs in the chest, pelvis, and abdomen may also be felt at the back. The medical term for this type of pain is referred pain as it emanates from other body organs onto the back. Other disorders of the abdomen such as kidney disease, fibroids, urinary tract infections, ovarian infections, endometriosis and pelvic also causes pain that is referred to the back (Szpalski, 2010). Expectant mothers also experience back pain that is manifest in many ways. These include irritating nerves, strains in the low back and...

...In the film, Don't Look Back, the documentary starring Bob Dylan, we see both the dark and enlightening sides of Bob Dylan. throughout the film it’s clear that Dylan has a level of comfort with the director, and as a result we are allowed into his personal life on and off stage. there are also a few moments of ambiguity and some highlights in the film that indirectly give us a sense of ageism, sexism and cultural values. The directors craft helps tie these together in a way that is appealing to the audience and can be drawn back to David R. Shumways’ of that era. First I’d like to analyze my impression of the film. Before the film I knew of Bob Dylan, his music, his legacy. I was under the impression that Dylan fell into the category of mellow pot smokers or “stoners” of the midsixties who were heavily involved in politics and current events. Then having heard a few of his songs, I thought, “wow this guy really wants the best for our society”. With that in mind, I also believed Bob Dylans personality would be sort of gentle and affectionate. Dont Look Back pretty much challenged all point of views. Dylan gets into a lot of conflict throughout the film. There are several moments, when we are unsure if Dylan is being civil or argumentative with people. Although, we do get a glimpse at Bob Dylans sensitive side, we are preoccupied by his radical actions throughout the film. The introduction to the documentary, is a flashback into Bob Dylan's career, showing his origins ...

...Back to shcool For many families, the crisp scent of the fall air is a signal that it is time to start preparing for going back to school. Shopping for new pencils, backpacks and notebooks is always an exciting time for both parents and children alike. Because children have an interest in the things that they are purchasing for school, this is also a great time to discuss how to budget a back to school allowance. When planning for how students will be spending their back to school funds, there are a few key areas that families will want to keep in mind. 1. Back to School Lunches School lunches can vary in both their price and their appeal according to different school systems. Parents will need to consider whether their child will be taking their lunch on some days or buying a lunch from the cafeteria during the week. Another aspect of school lunches for families to discuss is if a student will also be buying breakfast as this can substantially increase a back to school budget. If the student will be allowed to purchase extras such as dessert, then this will also need to be planned out beforehand. Families will also want to plan for any extra snacks or meals that a student might wish to have for when they get home after school. Depending upon the school, parents can decide upon the best way to handle this portion of a student’s back to school allowance for kids. Some schools arrange for an account to be set up so that parents can prepay while others simply accept cash. How this...

...Antonio Magadán Sister Spilsbury English 3 A 12 September 2014 Back to School Coming back to school can be a little annoying and stressful, especially when I’m coming back from a long summer. I have to wake up early in the mornings; there is not much free time for myself; how could I possibly like that? Well, like everything else in life, it’s all about perspective. My life has the potential to be an art, and coming back to school can be an opportunity to prove it. I just have to be creative. I may think school is just taking away all of my time and that I don’t have the chance to play sports or do the things I like, and it might be true. But changing my perspective can allow me to see that school is not keeping me from doing what I always do, but it is an opportunity to learn something new. Now that it’s my senior year and that I’m a member of the student council, school is an opportunity to leave my mark in this school and to make a change in the students’ lives. It’s also an opportunity to learn and prepare myself for the life that I have ahead of me in the future. School can be great if I am patient enough and aware of what is happening around me. That’s why I have to pay attention to my surroundings. But what happens if I find myself in a situation where I have the potential to do something amazing, but I just don’t know what to do? That’s what preparation is for; school can help me prepare myself for the opportunities that may cross my way in the future, so that...

...The Boys at the Back The boys’ grades are dropping and dropping, while the girls' grades are getting better and better every year. This is very frustrating for the young boys, and research shows that more and more of the young boys are dropping out of high school and college because of this problem. But what is the explanation for this? That girls are smarter than boys? Or that boys do not have the brain capacity to straight A’s? Although this might be a delight for many teenage girls, this is not the case. Christina Hoff Sommers has been brave enough to take this issue up for us in the media in her article “The Boys at the Back”. Previously, it was the boys who were at the top of the society. The male gender was the ones who had the most and the best opportunities in educations, and so did they of course have the rights, which women have not always had. But beyond that, the parents also expected more of their sons than they did from their daughters; "Families’ favoring sons over daughters in allocating scarce resources for schooling; cultural norms that de-emphasized girls’ education, particularly past high school; an industrial economy that did not require a college degree to earn a living wage; and persistent discrimination toward women in the workplace.” (p. 1, ll. 19-21). However, in our today’s society parents seems to look more identical at their children. There has always been a small gap in preparation to education between boys and girls. In the beginning...

...Renata Bakieva Professor Carla Pastor English 1100 sec 198 10 October 2012 Back on Top In “Roger Federer arrives at this year’s US Open in the midst of a new chapter in his storied career,” Stephen Tignor uses rhetorical strategies to convince Federer’s fans that he (Federer) had won the Wimbledon title because of the successful changes he had undergone since winning the last major trophy. Tignor asserts that the influence of Federer’s mother, his twin daughters, and the hiring of a new coach were the reasons he had won the Wimbledon title (Tignor 27). To achieve his goal of convincing the audience, Tignor utilizes a variety of rhetorical strategies: description, comparison and contrast, narration, process analysis, and augmentation. These rhetorical strategies combine to convince Federer’s fans that he was able to win the Wimbledon title because of the influence of the changes he had introduced in his life. While using description as a rhetorical strategy, an author uses figurative language and sense details to support a given assertion concerning a person or object of discussion. Tignor in the article argues that Federer’s twin daughters, his mother, and the new coach were the reason why he had won the Wimbledon title after failing in the previous attempts to win a major title in tennis (Tignor 27). Tignor asserts that in his previous wins and losses, the three persons had not attended his matches; the Wimbledon win was their first attendance. Tignor...

..."Back To December" I'm so glad you made time to see me. How's life? Tell me how's your family? I haven't seen them in a while. You've been good, busier than ever, We small talk, work and the weather, Your guard is up and I know why. Because the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mind. You gave me roses and I left them there to die. So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night," And I go back to December all the time. It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you. Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine. I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right. I go back to December all the time. These days I haven't been sleeping, Staying up, playing back myself leavin'. When your birthday passed and I didn't call. And I think about summer, all the beautiful times, I watched you laughing from the passenger side. Realized I loved you in the fall. And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind You gave me all your love and all I gave you was "Goodbye". So this is me swallowing my pride Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night." And I go back to December all the time.

...Coming Back Nancy Bee Zhao, in her article in The Sun Magazine, describes how her outlook of her life changed after a two month trip to Mexico. When she came home from her extended stay in Mexico she was surprised about how differently she lived than she had in Mexico. Everything was gigantic and seemingly perfect, but it also lacked the liveliness, dancing, and music. Coming home made her realize how differently she lived. “I saw who I was for the first time: rich, secure, naive, American” Zhao explains. My family travels every summer and I have seen quite a bit of the world, but I have alway been sheltered by my parents. The summer of 2007 I took a trip to Turkey to visit family. Before my trip I had never really experienced culture shock before. Life in Turkey was so different from anything I had experienced. The food was amazingly tasty, exploding with exotic flavors. The people and my family were incredibly kind and generous, even if they had nothing. The bazaars were astounding. So many people crowded together under giant canopies with stands overflowing with goods, yelling louder than the next vender to catch your attention. Swarms of people walking around rushing to get their shopping done while the old men sit in the shade drinking their small cups of black tea chatting up a storm. At the outside of the bazaar, beggars call out to the tourists hoping for some spare change. “Coming home was a shock,” Zhao analyzes. Every time I come home from a trip I marvel at...
