Depression-Era Entertainment: The Dance Marathon Kamarie Fernandes With the recent development of reality television providing the viewer-ship of contests across the globe‚ people are able to watch others suffer intense physical and mental games in order to be considered the best‚ the smartest‚ the strongest‚ the most talented‚ and so forth‚ in order to win a large cash prize along with short-lived international fame. Today’s “me-era” entertainment is known as reality television. In contrast

metallic materials is specified according to European EN 10002 standard. In this article the terms‚ definitions and designation for tensile test made at ambient temperature is described. The test involves straining a test piece in tension‚ generally to fracture‚ for the purpose of determining mechanical properties. Tensile testing of metallic materials is specified according to European EN 10002 standard. This standards consists of five parts: • EN 10002-1 - Method of testing at ambient temperature

Figure skaters are at increased risk to ankle injuries‚ particularly injuries to the peroneal tendon. This is mainly due to the increase in boot stiffness since the elimination of figures and shift of training focus to freestyle‚ mainly‚ jumping. Today‚ boots must be stiffer than ever to accommodate impact from more triple and quadruple jumps (Porter et al. 2007). This in turn causes ankles to become weaker and injury rates to increase‚ especially due to poor training habits. According to estimations

What are pressure sores? Pressure sores are areas of injured skin and tissue. They are usually caused by sitting or lying in one position for too long. This puts pressure on certain areas of the body. The pressure can reduce the blood supply to the skin and the tissues under the skin. When a change in position doesn’t occur often enough and the blood supply gets too low‚ a sore may form. Pressure sores are also called bedsores‚ pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers. What are the symptoms of a pressure

Ankle injuries are common because it ankles are a sensitive part of the body. It is easy to roll or sprain an ankle. The length of this injury depends on the severity of it. A rolled ankle can keep a player out of action for a few days or maybe a week. A sprained ankle heals in about a month or so. However‚ a fractured ankle can take up to 5 months to heal. During Barcelona’s game last Saturday‚ Aleix Vidal‚ a Spanish right back‚ fractured his ankle after a slide tackle from

lab tested two materials mild steel and cast iron. The data from each test was used to determine valuable material properties such as ultimate tensile strength‚ modulus of elasticity‚ and yield strength. Other calculated properties included true fracture strength‚ percent reduction of area‚ and percent elongation. These material properties were used to define the material as brittle or ductile. INTRODUCTION: Mechanical testing plays an important role in evaluating fundamental properties of

the common types of fractures There are two types of fracture called open and closed. A closed fracture is where the skin is unbroken‚ but the internal damage to surrounding tissue can be seen as swelling. An open fracture has a wound. The bone may or may not be protruding. There is also internal damage to surrounding tissue. 1.2 Describe how to manage a fracture. A casualty with a fracture needs to keep still and not move the injured part. The treatment for a closed fracture is to reduce the risk

good and common example of a soft tissue injury would be pulling or tearing your hamstring. The hamstring is located at the bag of your leg and runs from the back of your knee to just below the gluteus Maximus. This injury will occur when the muscle is overstretched and is common in most sports but especially football and sprinting due to the amount of work your legs go through. Soft tissue includes tendons‚ ligaments‚ fascia‚ skin‚ fibrous tissues‚ fat‚ and synovial membranes‚ which are connective
