...Written by Robertson Training Systems One of my goals of late is to really dial in and focus on the quality of my movement, and that of my athletes. And one of the exercises that I’ve really tried to develop within my coaching and teaching repertoire is the Turkish get-up. The Turkish Get-up is a fantastic exercise, and while I have espoused some of its benefits before, I think it’s important to recap a few of those here. In this one simple drill you get a whole host of fantastic benefits, such as: * Core strength and stability * T-spine mobility * Hip mobility * Hip extension (glute) strength * Gleno-humeral (shoulder) stability * Body awareness and proprioception * Etc. However, one of the biggest issues I see is when people have no clue how to coach or execute the exercise. A while back, I actually had a gentleman who came to me and thought the only goal was to stand up from the ground while keeping the ‘bell overhead. Instead of going through all the requisite motions, he actually just did an explosive crunch into a deep squat, and then stood up! And while that’s impressive, that’s not exactly how it should be done Today, I’m going to take you step-by-step through how I coach the Turkish Get-up. At each point I’m going to give you the following: * The name of the step/position. This isn’t RKC speak, this is what I use with clients/athletes to help them remember all the various positions of the lift. * Pictures...

...choice. So a diabetes patient always has to wear specialized footwear that can protect the foot in more sophisticated way. Diabetes changes your body's ability to fight infections. Damage to blood vessels causes because of diabetes results in less blood and oxygen getting to your feet. Because of this, small sores or breaks in the skin may become deeper skin ulcers. 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. By employing reconstructive and corrective footwear, to remove the high pressure points, a large number of such amputations can be prevented. Thus the patient can lead a near normal life, free from complications. WHO predicts that developing countries will bear the brunt of diabetes epidemic in the 21st century.

...Kayla E. Lockaby Research Paper Rough Draft Mrs. Lawson and Mrs. Maddox English IV and History April 22, 2011 Edgar Allan Poe To most people, Edgar Allan Poe was a troubled soul that had many psychological issues. Some people think that his works mimicked his own mental torment and torture; others thought that he was an American writer romantically doomed to failure by events and emotions too great for him to handle. His writings reflect each theory, and his style was very unique and unusual for the time period in which they were written. The artistic liberties and risks that Poe took in his works sparked the beginning of what we call the Romanticism Period. The hardships and tragedies which Edgar Allan Poe faced throughout his life played a big part in influencing his writing, how his writing influenced the period, and how it affected his mental stability (Life 240). Poe was born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts, to David and Elizabeth Poe. He had two siblings, a younger sister named Rosalie and an older brother named Henry. When Poe was just one, his father abandoned his wife and children. At two his mother died of tuberculosis and the children were split up into different homes (Tragedies 240). Poe was taken in by John Allan and his childless wife Frances, giving him his middle name. Having experienced many tragedies at an early age, he, starting at the age of six, developed a great fear of death and this influenced how and what he would later write...

...Marek Hullinger Mike Fiscel English W132 26 September 2013 From Tribes to Literature The word Goth derives from a German tribe referred to as the Goths. The term Gothic was later used during medieval times for the construction of buildings with pointed arches and vaults (Lad). In my essay, I chose to discuss two pieces of Gothic fiction. The first piece of Gothic fiction I decided to discuss is, “The Cask of Amontillado.” It was published in 1846 by the famous short-story writer and poet, Edgar Allan Poe. The second piece of Gothic fiction I chose to discuss is, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” It was published in 1966 by Joyce Carol Oates. In Gothic literature there any many characteristics to its writing and famous short-stories such as “The Cask of Amontillado” and “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” contain many of those Gothic fiction characteristics. Summary “The Cask of Amontillado” is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. Montresor is the main character of the story and also acts as the narrator. The story begins by him vowing his vengeance towards Fortunato for insulting him. Montresor hides his animosity towards Fortunato so he does not expect anything. He maintains a deceiving presence towards Fortunato and plots to exploit Fortunato’s weakness for luxurious wines. Carnival season came upon the city and Montresor finds Fortunato at the carnival. He invites him to try some of his sherry at his home. Montresor doubts Fortunato’s skill with...

...Ashley Ryan 12/7/2011 Evaluation of “The Notebook” It’s common to find most love stories come with a happily ever after. This predictable ending seems semi-unrealistic, but is also a fantasy for some. Disney movies often capture this ideal point of view of a relationship, perfect from start to finish. It overlooks the actuality and different series of problems that can occur between two people. The movie “The Notebook”, based off Nicholas Sparks’ best-selling novel, is a beautiful story that captures the emotion of a forbidden summer love remaining strong through distance and complicated times. The movie begins with an elderly man and woman. This man reads the story aloud from an old, worn out book. The story is about a small town country boy, Noah, chasing after a city girl named Allie. Noah does everything it takes to become a part of Allie’s life. The two grew close, spending most of their time together even making dreams for their future. Noah and Allie had their share of arguments but nothing permanently damaging. The true conflict arises when Allie’s parents step in and demand the relationship to end. Noah and Allie come from two different classes with opposite standards and wealth. With the summer coming to an end, Allie’s parents force her to leave town. Within the blink of an eye the two teenagers are separated from each other, without any closure. Seven years pass and Allie is off meeting new people and creating a new life for herself. Noah on the other hand is...

...Israelites to fight him. He was dressed in full armor. David was a young Israelite who was sent to bring news to his brothers. While David was delivering this news, he heard Goliath shouting, which made him volunteer to fight the giant. David had on no armor, as his he carried the “Armor of God”. He approached the giant with a sling and some large stones. As Goliath tried to stab him, David flung a stone at him. The stone smashed into Goliath’s forehead which brought him to the ground. David took the opportunity to cut off his head and kill him. Many artists have created sculptures to encompass the great victory of David. These artworks all contrast with one another, but still portray the same story. In this essay I will be comparing these pieces of art made by three different artists. Donatello created the first sculpture in the 1440’s. This was during the early Renaissance era. His medium of choice was bronze. He used the lost wax method, or the process in which a duplicate sculpture (in this case bronze) is cast from an original sculpture of wax. The wax is put into a mold and then melted back out. Then bronze is deposited into the mold. This means that the statue is hollow on the inside. It was made in several different...

...One Night With Justin January 17, 2007 is a night I will remember forever. It is the night my dreams became a reality for one night and one night only. On this day at 7:30P.M., at the Save-Mart Center in Fresno, California, I saw the man of my dream, My Love, Justin Timberlake. What made this night even better was the fact that I was about 20 feet from the stage. I had floor seats to the most amazing concert ever. My roommate and I were in heaven. Justin came to Fresno on his FutureSex/LoveSounds tour. Joining him on tour was female singer Pink, who was the opening act, and producer and rapper Timbaland, who joined Justin on stage for a new numbers, including a monologue of his own. Pink opened up the show at the stroke of 7:30. She came out in a denim tank top and denim pleaded skirt. She got the party started. Her performance was energetic and amazing. She even performed an acrobatic routine in the air. At around 9:00P.M., the teasing began. The band members slowly made their way to the stage and they began to play a little interlude. The arena, already lively, began screaming their heads off, crying, shaking, jumping up and down, and anticipating the moment when the most amazing man in the world would reveal himself. The first song started up. It was the title track FutureSex/LoveSounds. Justin emerged from the center of the stage, dressed in a black suit, with a white guitar around his neck. Silk screens were surrounding the entire round stage. The stage...

...To be or not to be: Social Entrepreneurship in Kashmir. “Today that land of Kashmir, under the heels of hardship and misfortune, has become weak, vulnerable and impoverished; A land, which was once known among the wise, as Little Iran.” -Sir M. Iqbal (Armaghan-e-Hijaz-24) The idea of social entrepreneurship in a society as politically unstable and volatile as Kashmir is, however, new. This latent idea has been in hibernation mode for far too long, resulting in regrettable social, economical, and psychological consequences. This dormancy is a result of deep rooted ignorance and misplaced information about the career paths which trace its origins in the imperial Maharaja’s Rule of pre-independent India where people who used to work for the government were usually better off than ordinary people doing peasantry jobs. Decades of political uncertainty has further escalated the doubts on success in business, hurtling the Kashmiri youth deep into the psychological abyss where pursuing their dreams as remained, as such, a dream. Throw in some statistics in the gloomy picture and the picture gets even darker: life expectancy, in part due to access to better medical care and in part due to casual improvement in wages, is ever increasing, and with the fertility rates unchanged, causes an unprecedented “pot belly” in the population pyramid. This accumulation of a young population further exacerbates the unemployment quagmire. According to a report by Mercy Corps, a non-government...
