Early stage symptoms may include: increasing weakness in one limb (especially in a hand), difficulty walking, clumsiness of the hands, fasciculations (which are subtle like twitches under the skin), impaired speech, difficulty swallowing. Later stages include: weakening of other limbs (may be with twitching, muscle cramping, and exaggerated faster reflexes), problems chewing, swallowing, or breathing, drooling, and eventually…

Sherlock is a man of many faces. From the classic tales written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the modern adaptations such as BBC’s Sherlock, the man that is Sherlock Holmes has been around for centuries. While there may be various modern Sherlock Holmes’, there is one that is far superior to the rest, one that takes on the characteristics of the original Sherlock Holmes. This Sherlock Holmes was well represented in these movies and was accurate to the stories that I’ve read. The best Sherlock…

When I was a toddler, I used to believe that if I pointed at a toy in my classroom someone would eventually give it to me. However, no matter how hard or how long I gestured and threw my arms toward the toy, I would never have it because I refused to use my words and locked up all my thoughts into my head; clawing against my skull, hoping to ooze out of me. Fortunately, I am not alone in this endless battle of mismatched words, cruel verbs, and negative connotations that crawl out of our mouths…

desire to get rid of Candy’s dog. The stooping motion represents the suggestion of killing the dog, and the tying motion represents Carlson pressuring Candy to let him shoot the dog. The author also describes the dog as physically old. After Carlson “[twitches] the thong,” and “the old dog [goes] slowly and stiffly to his feet and [follows] the gently pulling leash.” Steinbeck emphasizes that the dog is “old” through repetition, while the dog’s slow and stiff movement portrays Candy body as…

problems that he had faced throughout the Novel especially taking steroids. I felt like I was there because it was like the ending of a movie and it was an urgent event that draws you in to see what happens next. When Mick pulled the trigger his hand twitches which threw off his aim to where the bullet sort of grazed the top of his head and he falls unconscious so his friend Drew took him to the hospital.

Why is it that sin “appears” to win over righteousness? Per Geertz Thick Description, we conceptualize new ideas and concepts until they become a part of a group of thoughts that shapes our cognition about the world around us. He also states, “A few zealots persist in the old key-to-the-universe view of it; but less driven thinkers settle down after a while to the problems the idea has really generated” (Geertz, 1973). These ideas are how the development of a new plan starts and the possible end…

Rapid eye movement sleep is a unique phase of mammalian sleep characterized by random movement of the eyes, low muscle tone throughout the body, and the propensity of the sleeper to dream vividly. This phase is also known as paradoxical sleep and sometimes desynchronized sleep because of physiological similarities to waking states, including rapid, low-voltage desynchronized brain waves. Electrical and chemical activity regulating this phase seems to originate in the brain stem and is…

In Lori Nickel’s blog post, she discusses the increased attractiveness to foam rolling as a means to reduce soreness from exercise. Foam rollers are becoming a popular and inexpensive mode of recovery for athletes to give the muscles a deep tissue massage without having to see a massage therapist. From Nickel’s diction, she is subtly claiming that foam rolling presents some competition to a massage since foam rollers are much cheaper. For this post, she interviewed Zach Koba, a physical…
