that would be sustaining and challenging but not restricting to the Deaf actors by taking their language away from them. The intention of the workshop was to slowly over stimulate the actors so that they would start to multitask. By doing this the exercises change from being simple tasks to “amulets, which the actor carries around, not to show them off but to draw from certain qualities of energy out of which a second nervous system slowly develops” (Barba, 2002, p. 100) My intention…

Perhaps a more important aspect of physical health for police officers is cardio. Police officers are far more likely to need cardiovascular endurance while on the job. If conditioning is not good enough, the heart does not pump blood sufficiently to the body, and as a result, the officers cannot do their job properly (Oldham, 2001). Bisset, Bisset and Snell (2012) suggest that foot pursuits generally last no longer than 100 yards; therefore, should an officer train by running miles everyday or…

worries of the day. While outside, they will be focusing on walking and enjoying themselves. Because they are distracted while outside, they aren’t thinking about the stresses their day brings. Having a student's mind wander is wonderful, but outdoor exercise actually increases levels of dopamine and endorphins. Dopamine is often called a ‘feel-good’ hormone, and endorphins are pain relievers; both of these play a role in stress relief. Even a short walk can increase levels of dopamine and…

Out of the entire academic and professional programs that presented in class, the one that caught my attention is Physical Therapy. Before the presentation, I already have an interest in physical therapy because one of my friends is in this program and I hear that physical therapists are usually happy with their jobs. This program would be a good fit for me because I enjoy working with other people and I want to help them get better by treating them, as well as helping them feel better by…

The prevention of dental caries is the primary purpose for dental service. “Dental caries is defined as a localized, post-eruptive, pathological process of external origin involving softening of the hard tooth tissue and proceeding to the formation of a cavity” (WHO). The centerpiece for caries prevention since the 1960’s has been the application of sodium fluoride varnish. Typically, a sodium fluoride varnish treatment is conducted twice a year. Studies have shown that children who receive…

I wake up at 6 in the morning, walk by my kitchen refusing to eat breakfast at 6:10, and pack my duffle bag by 6:35. After brushing my teeth at 6:50, I leave for school at 7 with my brother and my father. Classes begin at 7:35am and end at 2:12pm. Standing in the locker room changing my clothes and lacing up my shoes by 2:25, I remind myself why I put myself through this ritual every single day. The gym doors open at 2:30, when dozens of student athletes crowd the athletic directors office…
