They may neglect hygiene, activities of daily living such as working or exercise all of which have effects on the health of the individual. (Brezina, 2009, p
Heroin has a much less effective action through the eaten or even smoked routs of delivery, which is why most users currently inject the drug either into the muscle, IM or the subcutaneous level SQ or for a faster physical reaction intravenously IV. (Fernandez, 1998, pp
Heroin, the "brand name" for diacetylmorphine HCl in short is the substance believed to be the most euphoric inducing as it act as a direct carrier for the morphine within the compound to the brain and is derived from morphine, usually in its natural state. (Moraes, 2000, pp
(Fernandez, 1998, p. 169) There are also a significant number of research studies that note a long-term decline in cognitive function with continued use and abuse of heroin: "Heavier use of opiates in long-term users has been shown to be associated with greater likelihood of neuropsychological impairment…" (Ornstein et al
113) This is in fact one of the biggest reasons for the cost of recovery and treatment as well as one of the many factors associated with relapses in recovery. (Shalev, Grimm & Shahman, 2002, p
Politics must deal with an established map where all claims of ownership have already been staked. The significant consequence of this for politics is that countries will be forced to focus on the contest for efficiency rather than on territorial expansion (Mackinder, p
"Recognized as one of the world's oldest sports, wrestling was first held at the ancient Olympics in 708 BC, and was included at the Athens 1896 Games, the first of the modern era" ("Wrestling," Olympic Sports: London 2012). During ancient times, wrestling consisted of "naked competitors coated in olive oil grappling until one succeeded in throwing or knocking the other down" (Dicker 2010)
This has led to many wrestlers taking extreme measures to 'cut weight,' including abusing laxatives, extreme dieting and running in extreme heat to lose water weight. In 1997, the deaths of three college wrestlers from heart and kidney failure due to attempts to 'make weight' caused the National Federation of State High School Associations to recommend "a seven percent minimum body fat limit for male high school wrestlers and a twelve percent body fat limit for female wrestlers" and to mandate weigh-ins "within one or two hours of wrestling matches" ("Cutting weight." Independent Lens, 2000)
D., it is a list of instructions on how to wrestle" (Mihoces 2011)
According to her love should not simply be and erotic desire for the beautiful bodies and material things of the world, all of which were temporary and transitory. Instead, the highest form of love is that of wisdom and truth, which were eternal, and the love of the immortal soul in seeking after God (Gil 1999)
For Marx, of course, economics and class conflicts were the base of society, and social change proceeded through revolutions, such as the French, American and English Revolutions against feudalism in the 17th and 18th Centuries. In the future, capitalism would be overthrown by a socialist revolution, starting with the most advanced industrial economies in the West (Greene, p
Hobbes, Locke and other political and philosophical theorists of the 17th Century were also influenced by the new scientific thought of Descartes, Galileo and William Harvey to one degree or another, and had to incorporate them into philosophy. In Meditation Three, Descartes concurs with Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas that God is the First Cause and Prime Mover in nature, but he preferred to concentrate on physical, material and efficient causes (Descartes 1996)
Tertullian blamed Gnostic 'heresy' on the influence of Plato, Zeno, Stoicism and other elements of Greek philosophy, especially in their belief that Jesus had no physical body and the material world was inferior and evil. He noted that Paul had also warned about the dangers of Athenian influence on Christianity, although ironically Tertullian was also condemned as a heretic (King 33)
They made a distinction between the basically rational and logical faculties of the mind over and above instincts and emotions. Other philosophers and psychologists like Nietzsche and Freud and the Romantics put far more emphasis on the emotional and irrational side of the mind, but for Plato and Aristotle, only women, slaves, peasants and the lower orders in general were guided by passions, feelings and desires (Lehrer, 2009, p
In the end, the new science and mathematics of the Renaissance proved that Copernicus was correct, although the Catholic Church attempted to suppress this idea. It raised too many troubling questions that the Church could not answer, such as whether there were other earths and alien civilizations out in space, and if so, had God appeared to them or sent Jesus to die for their sins (Nauert 2006)
He noted that Paul had also warned about the dangers of Athenian influence on Christianity, although ironically Tertullian was also condemned as a heretic (King 33). Augustine's duty as a Christian bishop was to direct their thoughts, emotions and desires away from physicality to the "divine mysteries that are cloaked in human language" (Wills, p
Never mind that this was the time period of the "Angel in the Home," which forced well-to-do women to remain isolated within their homes and encouraged females be genteel and always in agreement with their husbands on all matters. Instead of seeing something ironic in their feelings of superiority over the Native Americans and aborigines, the white women who supported removal cited their positions as the correct type of homemaker as opposed to the native who was somehow improper (Jacobs 128)
Several rabbis and even scholars are noted to have been physicians. This included Maimonides, a once renowned rabbi, physician and even a philosopher (Illievitz,1935; Gesundheit & Hadad,2005)
Brief Review of Ancient Beliefs about Meteors Author Tamra Andrews explains in her book Dictionary of Nature Myths: Legends of the Earth, Sea, and Sky, that ancient people apparently associated meteors with evil. In particular, Tamara writes, "people believed these flaming rock fragments were demons" that were flying down to earth for "some malevolent reason" (Andrews, 2000, p
Towards the end of the 18th century, Lauretta continues, when many scientists and other witnessed meteorite falls (at Sienna, Italy in 1794, and in 1705 in Wold Cottage, England), it became scientific knowledge that meteorites "do indeed fall from the sky and represent material distinct in its composition and structure from rocks formed on Earth" (Lauretta, xvi). The History of Understanding Meteors (continued) In the University of Texas alumni magazine, The Alcalde, author Deborah Byrd explains that in the late 1700s, a German lawyer and physicist (Ernst Friedrich Florens Chladni) began a serious inquiry into these "falling stones" and came to the correct conclusion that they were "of cosmic origin" (Byrd, 7)
