I originally found plow pose to be a difficult and somewhat painful pose to perform. This pose used to leave the top of my spine feeling sore and tender. This pose was also difficult because my hamstrings are tight and this made the pose difficult. This pose stretches and improves flexibility in the legs and spine. This pose also encourages good digestion as it stimulates various internal organs. This pose is also beneficial for those who suffer from symptoms of stress and fatigue (Cnyha, Halasana). As someone who suffers from most of these issues, I eventually found this pose to be beneficial to my muscles and internal organs. Tree pose was difficult for me on multiple levels. One aspect that I found difficult was balance. If my attention
Draw at least three different trees using only shapes from the insert tab. Insert other vegetation using shapes as you see fit.
Lifting the rider’s legs away from the horse’s sides while still keeping them parallel to the horse will help the rider open their hip and relax their seat. Essentially this simple exercise allows the rider to re mold their seat and leg to the shape off the horse’s body allowing for better contact between the rider’s leg and the horse’s barrel and to have a more following seat. This allows for better communication between horse and rider and will help the rider follow the horse’s motion and in turn create a more adjustable

The Steel Plow created by John Deere had the greatest impact on the growth of the west, it is used to break up tough soil without soil getting stuck to it. This plow was known to help the westward expansion making it easier to grow crops, which helps produce food, helping the population to grow. The plow helped to cut furrows through thicker soils. Without the invention of steel plows farmers may not have been able to cut through the thicker soils of the west, therefore the expansion of the west may not have been possible.
Jane Brody's evidence of the effects of slouching in "Posture Affects Standing, and Not Just the Physical Kind" is credible because she shares out her own personal experiences with habitual slouching. In the article, she says that "as a short person who is prone to back pain, I have long been aware of the value of good posture...." This quote shows us that she has experienced these symptoms
Maintain the natural curve of the spine, keeping the spine in line, create a stable base of support with your legs slightly apart, your knees slightly bent. Avoid stooping, bending at the waist and twisting.
The texture of the canvas works very well with the subject matter portrayed in the painting. The grassy hill side and the leaves of the trees are especially complimented by the canvas. It makes the leaves feel like they are slightly moving, this combined with the lack of detail itself the leaves. This is contrasted nicely with the very detailed renderings of the trunks and branches of the trees, the
‘No doubt they’ll soon get well; the shock and the strain / have caused their stammering, disconnected talk,’ writes Siegfried Sassoon in the poem Survivors (1917). Sassoon’s irony in these lines condense a prevalent view of non-combatants during the First World War that the soldiers would recover from their physical injuries and mental illness after the phase of shock had concluded. In the short story Speed the Plough (1923), Mary Butts articulates scepticism towards the idea that Shell Shock will simply pass. Instead of employing the habitual indicators of war, the story showcases Butts’s fixation in avoiding them. Modernist writers, such as Butts, were interested in innovation and experimentation with language to create new forms of expression. The following analysis will explore how the modernist aesthetics shape this passage in order to express the experience of war but avoid recurring to the same language that explicitly evokes it.
The tree is a stern portrayal of strength and also reliability being firmly rooted to the ground, and consistent in its ways. The tree furthermore functions as a place of stability where the bird can rest and grow still dependent to the tree but yet independent at the same time.
This causes these muscles to become stronger. When this happens, you’re posture is affected. The body is not aligned correctly which may cause injury down the road. Many simple routines of stretching can correct this misalignment and make you feel much better.

The Great Potato Famine is characterized as one of the leading disasters in Ireland’s history. It began in the summer of 1845 with the appearance of an unusual disease growing on potato crops throughout various parts of Europe. With the spread of this disease, it soon targeted Ireland consuming the major crop of potatoes. The famine began by this mysterious disease that hit many parts of Europe during 1845. This disease known as the blight was caused by a fungus known ‘phytophthora infestans’. Prior to the blight, two main diseases known as ‘curl’ and ‘dry rot’ attacked Ireland but were not as destructive (Kinealy 33). The blight was known to be originated from South America through cargo ships that
Jean Piaget was a psychologist who believed that children progressed through different stages of cognitive development. He stated that the four stages of cognitive development, are ‘critical’ to children’s progress. The four distinct stages that Piaget suggested were: The sensorimotor stage 0-2 years, The preoperational stage which involves children ages 2-7 years, The concrete operational stage that includes children aged 7-11 years and The formal operational stage 11 years+. Piaget named this theory, The Stage Theory (Piaget, J. 1951 The Child’s Conception of the world.
Imagine a world where honesty was the only option. People could not lie if they wanted to. The concept of a lie is inconceivable to the inhabitants of the this made up world. Politicians are as see-through as glass, and criminals convict themselves within seconds. Now place yourself in this world, with the knowledge and understanding of deception. You are an Ambassador of a merited nation, and your country has declared war on a neighboring commonwealth. The citizens of this foreign state are apparently not so different from the citizens in your community, yet their government is unfairly claiming the land of less protected villages on the border of your nation and theirs. Your citizens don’t see the importance of declaring war over a
