"Oww! &%$%!" Pathways of Pain and Alternative Methods of Pain Relief Have you ever wondered why when you stub your toe on the chair in the living room, it helps tremendously to yell out an expletive or two and vigorously rub the area? I may not be able to discuss the basis for such language in this paper, but we will explore the analgesic response to rubbing that toe, in addition to the mechanism of pain and alternative treatments such as acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
Euthanasia and the Pain Relief Promotion Act President Clinton said that the key question regarding the Nickles/Lieberman Pain Relief Promotion Act is "whether the bill as written would have a chilling effect on doctors writing medication for pain relief on terminally ill patients." The question he raised is a testable proposition. Language almost identical to that found in the Pain Relief Promotion Act has been enacted in ten states in recent years - and the effect of such language on the
Jeffrey Hinkle 1. The title of this work of art is Pakal, The Great, and it is a portrait of one of the greatest and longest tenured leaders of the Mayans. This portrait of Pakal, The Great was found in his tomb, which is found in Chiapas, Mexico. Also, I could not find the exact size of the art, but from what I have read it seems as though this portrait is about the size of a human head or a little bit bigger. Likewise, the exact date of this art is not known, but it is suspected to have been
Introduction The statue of Menkaure and Queen was created 2490-2472 BCE and was found at Gizeh, Egypt, Fourth Dynasty. This piece of art is referred to as a relief sculpture and made out of sandstone with approx. dimensions of 2x6x6’ feet. The subject’s matter, just as the title suggests, is the representation of the King Menkaure and Queen. Both Menkaure and Queen are displayed in a frontal view in a typical Ancient Egyptian standing pose positioned close to each other. The articles of clothing
outside art. In the early centuries of the Islamic world artists devoted their entire life to their craft- with architecture and calligraphy equally- so they could become masters and make art that still exists and holds meaning in today’s world. The relief sculpture is simply a tile that would have been used in a mosque or other building of significant meaning, the only title given to the piece is “Rectangular Tile”, the artist is unknown. The piece was made in the 13th or 14th century-it is unclear
introduced. Also, because the conditions were made worse, more people wanted to get out of the workhouse and get employed, whereas before, people stayed in to get relief. The weather also helps to show the impact because when the weather was cold and poor, before the new poor law, 250 labourers were unemployed and receiving relief. But after it, there were only 28 able-bodied men out of employment, meaning the new poor law has worked and made people find employment. This source is reliable
At a first glance, the Victory Stele of Naram-Sin and the statue of Menkaure and his Queen may seem like two works that have absolutely nothing in common, but upon closer examination, both of the statues share some symbolic similarities that are demonstrated through the specific ways in which the subjects are portrayed. The specific portrayal of the rulers says a lot about what their values were and how they approached their duties. The Stele of Naram-Sin is an Akkadian sculpture from approximately
part in guarding the gates and instilling fear in all that passed it. It is a relief sculpture of mostly high relief elements as the wings are the only parts that appear to be in low relief. The
stimulants for the eye. The relief emulates brute strength and power through the overall stature of the figure. The cuneiform writing above the relief greatly influenced the impression a viewer can receive through its narration about the figure. Other than Gilgamesh and the Assyrian Winged Protective Deity both being from Mesopotamia, they have numerous similarities. The Assyrian Winged Protective Deity is a very imposing figure. It measures around seven and a half feet tall (Relief of a Winged Genius).
Introduction Despite the brief dismantling of the Royal Academy during the French Revolution, art remained an extension of the power of the French State. During this time, regularly purchased art often favored that of its supported political objectives. However, through the Royal Academy, which had originally been founded by King Louis XIV, the state extended its reach to the official exhibitions (salons) to matters of style and subject matter through the École des Beaux Arts (Khan). Evolving
System in the 1830's and 1840's In this essay I will be studying sources F, G, H and I and using my own knowledge to show why there was so much controversy over the workhouse system, in the 1830's and 1840's. Now that there was no outdoor relief paupers had to go into the workhouses, like Gressenhall. The workhouse clothed and fed the paupers. The paupers were treated unfairly and lost their liberty and freedom. Due to these conditions many people had different opinions about the system
communities could provide. (Morales, Sheafor, 2000) As Colonial America grew more complex, the localized systems of relief were strained. The result was some limited movement to state funding and the creation of poor houses to ‘contain’ the problem. (Tanenhaus, 2000) Relief was made as unpleasant as possible in order to discourage dependence. Those people who received relief could lose their personal property, their right to vote, their right to move, and in some cases were even required to
for a reason. Shakespeare always had a reason for everything, it would be uncharacteristic for him not to with the porter. The porter enters the story immediately after the murder of King Duncan, perhaps for some relief, and that relief being; drunken comedy. Is the porter just comical relief? I don’t believe so, he may have made some laughs, but he also creates more tension rather than relieving it. In Act II, Scene 2, Lady Macbeth comes back from the crime scene with blood all over her. The knocking
impressionistic paintings, art has always been a medium for conveying human thoughts and emotions. By analyzing this artwork, much can be learned about human history, tendencies, psychology, culture, and the like. For instance, by comparing a sunken relief of Horus—considered to be the Egyptian god of the sky, sun, and war—with the Torso of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, many hidden intricacies of Egyptian and Grecian civilization as well as the motives of the artists themselves can be revealed
Bas-relief or low-relief is a form of three-dimensional art that uses very little depth to create an image. These pieces of art are on planes or flat surfaces and are meant to be viewed from one side or angle rather than on all sides. Sculptures, moldings, and carvings are the usual mediums that you see in the form of bas-relief. In this form, the artist begins with a flat surface and they create the image they desire by carving it slighting higher than the background. Another way of creating artwork
Sphere and Hemisphere Barbara Hepworth Though small in size Barbara Hepworth's Sphere and Hemisphere is a modernist sculpture from 1962 that stands out amongst the other works around it. With its nonrepresentational use of bronze and wood shapes, Hepworth creates a sense of harmony and the balance – or unbalance. The definite duality in the sculpture caused by the use of shape, and how those shapes are placed in congruence with the use of such heavy and earthy materials that is the cause for the
of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind," it is as if she is having an aside with the reader. If she were truly talking to dead paper, why would such a comment be required? The idea of "dead paper" makes one think of something that is written, never to be published or read. In this sense, the caption can make the reader feel as if he or she is looking in privately on this woman's diary. The fact that this is "a great relief" to her mind makes the reader feel slightly less
This is an extremely high relief sculpture made of limestone. It is to be viewed from a frontal standpoint. It however does have a potential for movement. There seems to be a great deal going on in such a close space. It is very crowded, but dramatic. The figures are intertwining with each other all at once even though there are different things happening. It reminds me of a play with scenes. You can actually step in to it and feel as though you are a part of what is happening because of all the
The statue of Gudea seated holding the plan of a temple, also named “The Architect with a Plan”, is a parietal statue in the round created using the subtractive method around 2100 BCE. Although the statue is only 2’5” high, it is made from a granite-like material called diorite that is incredibly dense, making the statue heavy and difficult to move. It would have taken the artist a significant effort to carve and polish this object because of how challenging it is to work with the material. This
countries with their problems; one of these, which I will elaborate on, is to correct the problems arising from debt in third world countries. These problems arise when the third world countries borrow money to make their country a better place. However, the interest is so high that it is impossible to pay back the money borrowed. Therefore, a campaign has been made to cancel the debts of the world's poorest countries and as I will show, has had a huge impact. Across the world, millions of people
