Paola Carmona is a 3rd year student. Athletics involves running faster, jumping higher, and throwing farther. The traditional stadium for athletics has a 400m oval track surrounded by an interior space used for field events like jumps and throws. Some winter competitions are held on a smaller 200m track where distances and some events are adjusted due to limited space. The first regulated competitions were the ancient Greek Olympics starting in 776 BC which included the pentathlon of discus, javelin, running, long jump and wrestling. The International Amateur Athletics Federation was founded in 1913 to establish rules and recognize record-setting athletes.
Running has been a human activity for millions of years. Key events in the history of running include Pheidippides' famous run in 490 BC and the introduction of the marathon event in the 1896 Olympics. There are health benefits to running such as weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, and reduced disease risk. Proper running form includes an upright posture, arm movement, and adjusting stride based on distance. Common injuries can result from changes in volume or pace, or from repetitive stress without recovery.
This document provides an overview of track and field athletics events. It describes the different types of races including short distance, middle distance, long distance, and road events. It also outlines the various jumping events in athletics like the high jump, long jump, triple jump, and pole vault. The throwing events of hammer, discus, javelin and shot put are explained. Finally, it mentions the heptathlon and decathlon mixed events in athletics competitions.
The key priority issues for improving Australia's health are reducing health inequities faced by certain groups. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged people, rural/remote residents, and immigrants experience unfair health differences. They are more likely to die younger, have lower life expectancy and quality of life, higher rates of disease, and less access to healthcare and health information. Addressing the social and economic determinants of health through government programs, community support, and empowering individuals is needed to improve health equity across all Australians.
The document discusses using assessment for learning (formative assessment) to improve student learning culture and academic achievement.

Sole parent families face significant challenges in meeting their needs for financial support, access to services, security and safety, employment, housing, and other resources. The ability of sole parents to access resources is influenced by their gender, socioeconomic status, location, and other demographic factors. Women heading sole parent families in particular struggle due to lower incomes and challenges balancing work and parenting responsibilities alone. Location also greatly impacts access to resources, with rural sole parents facing greater difficulties.
This newspaper article discusses findings from a survey of 600 Australian youth aged 10-17 that show declining rates of drug and alcohol use and fewer youth having sex at younger ages. Specifically, the survey found marijuana use decreased from 36% to 23% from 2003 to 2007, while cigarette smoking declined slightly. Fewer youth were sexually active before age 16, down from over three-quarters to less than two-thirds. Members of a NSW Youth Advisory Council attribute the trends to increased education and awareness, allowing youth to make more informed decisions about their health and relationships.
1. The growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain and stimulates the growth of muscle, cartilage, and bone.
2. Sports like weightlifting and baseball where short bursts of power and strength are important are more likely to use HGH, as it increases muscle size and allows muscles to recover faster, enabling more training.
3. HGH was first banned from sports by the International Olympic Committee in 1989.
EPO is a performance-enhancing drug that stimulates red blood cell creation, increasing oxygen levels in the body. It allows athletes in endurance sports like cycling and running to maintain steady breathing and not slow down or stop during long distance events. While originally developed to treat medical conditions causing anemia, athletes use EPO to enhance performance and chances of winning. However, EPO is dangerous as it raises hematocrit levels, thickening the blood and risking strokes, heart attacks, and clogged capillaries.
Beta blockers are drugs that block nerve impulses and reduce heart rate and force. They are used to treat conditions like high blood pressure but are also used in precision sports to improve performance by steadying nerves and improving accuracy. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, and breathing problems. Beta blockers are most commonly used in gymnastics, diving, ski jumping, soccer, wrestling, shooting and archery because they help athletes remain focused and in control by reducing heart rate.
Blood doping is a procedure that increases the number of red blood cells in the body to enhance athletic performance and endurance. It works by allowing more oxygen to be carried to the muscles. Potential side effects include kidney damage, blood infections, heart problems, blood clots, and jaundice. Blood doping is mainly used in long distance endurance events like long distance running and cross country skiing to help athletes maintain performance for longer periods.
Steroids are a class of hormones related to testosterone that build muscle by increasing protein synthesis. They are commonly used by athletes to improve performance in sports like weightlifting, baseball, cycling, and football, but long-term use can have serious health risks such as infertility, enlarged heart, high blood pressure, liver damage, and aggression. Cycling involves taking high steroid doses for several weeks and then discontinuing use for several weeks or months.
The document summarizes different types of injuries including bruises, abrasions, incisions, lacerations, avulsions, puncture wounds, and embedded objects. For each injury type, it describes the signs, symptoms, and initial first aid management which generally involves stopping bleeding, cleaning the wound, applying pressure and elevation, immobilizing the injured area, reassuring the patient, and seeking further medical help if needed.
Tooth injuries can occur from falls, accidents, and other incidents, causing teeth to chip, crack, become partially dislodged, or removed from the socket entirely. Signs of injuries include visible damage, tooth discoloration after a concussion, and pain when tapped. Fractures may cause sensitivity to hot/cold and increased pain. Management depends on the injury - avulsed teeth should be gently cleaned and replaced in the socket if possible, or stored in liquid; chipped teeth fragments should be saved and the patient seen by a dentist; and loosened or displaced teeth should be stabilized in the proper position with a splint or pressure until dental care can be received.
Eye injuries can occur from direct trauma, chemical contamination, infection, allergies, or other medical conditions. Some common signs of eye injuries include pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling and watering. The treatment for an eye injury depends on its cause but generally involves flushing the injured eye with water and seeking immediate medical attention to prevent further damage.
A heart attack occurs when a coronary artery becomes blocked, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching the heart muscle. Over time, fatty deposits can build up in the arteries and eventually rupture, forming a clot that causes a complete blockage. Common symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain or discomfort that may spread to the arms, shoulders, neck or jaw. Treatment focuses on quickly restoring blood flow through clot-busting drugs, angioplasty, stents or bypass surgery. Lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation are important for recovery.
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is disrupted, depriving brain cells of oxygen. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, caused by a blockage, and hemorrhagic, caused by a ruptured blood vessel. Symptoms vary depending on the affected brain region but may include numbness, weakness, vision problems, confusion, and trouble speaking. Immediate treatment involves calling emergency services, monitoring the person's condition, and preventing movement until medical help arrives.
This document provides an overview of epilepsy, including signs and symptoms, what causes it, and how it is managed. Epilepsy is a common neurological condition where the normal electrical activity in the brain is disrupted, causing seizures. There are two main types of seizures - partial seizures where the seizure activity starts in one area of the brain, and generalized seizures where the seizure activity involves the whole brain. Management strategies include medication, lifestyle changes, and first aid response during seizures.
This document summarizes first aid procedures for heat exhaustion, heatstroke, hypothermia, and frostbite. It outlines signs and symptoms of each condition and provides guidance on first aid management. For heat illnesses like heat exhaustion and heatstroke, first aid includes removing the person from heat, cooling their body, and providing fluids. For hypothermia, treatment ranges from removing wet clothing and adding dry layers for mild cases to calling emergency services and performing CPR if needed for severe cases. Frostbite treatment involves gently warming affected areas and seeking medical help.
The document discusses different types of fractures including simple, compound, complicated, and greenstick fractures. It describes the causes and signs of fractures and provides guidance on first aid management including immobilization, splinting, and control of bleeding depending on the fracture type. Compound fractures which break the skin pose greater risks and require prompt medical assistance. Circulation, sensation, and shock should be monitored for all fracture types.
A bone fracture is a complete or incomplete break in a bone caused by excessive force. Fractures can be open, where the broken bone pierces the skin, or closed, where the skin is intact. Complicated fractures damage underlying organs. Signs of a fracture include pain, difficulty moving, swelling, deformity, grating sounds, shock, and tenderness near the site. For responsive casualties, fractures should be splinted if possible and the casualty kept comfortable until emergency help arrives. For unresponsive casualties, call for an ambulance and place the casualty in the recovery position while monitoring vital signs until help arrives.
The document discusses different types of nasal injuries including nosebleeds and nasal fractures. It provides information on causes, signs and symptoms, and first aid treatment for nosebleeds and nasal fractures. For nosebleeds, it recommends having the person pinch their nose and lean forward to stop bleeding. For nasal fractures, it advises applying ice to reduce swelling and pain, and seeing a doctor for more serious fractures or blocked nasal passages.
Muscle cramps are involuntary and painful contractions of skeletal muscle that usually occur without warning. They are often experienced by athletes during or after strenuous exercise and can be a symptom of issues like fatigue, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or nutritional deficiencies. Common signs are hard, contracted muscles and painful twitching. Muscle cramps can be managed through stretching, massage, hydration, electrolyte replacement, and in some cases medication. Regular stretching and self-massage may help prevent future cramping.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) invited Taylor Paschal, Knowledge & Information Management Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, to speak at a Knowledge Management Lunch and Learn hosted on June 12, 2024. All Office of Administration staff were invited to attend and received professional development credit for participating in the voluntary event.
The objectives of the Lunch and Learn presentation were to:
- Review what KM ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’
- Understand the value of KM and the benefits of engaging
- Define and reflect on your “what’s in it for me?”
- Share actionable ways you can participate in Knowledge - - Capture & Transfer
Have you ever been confused by the myriad of choices offered by AWS for hosting a website or an API?
Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, Lightsail, Amplify, S3 (and more!) can each host websites + APIs. But which one should we choose?
Which one is cheapest? Which one is fastest? Which one will scale to meet our needs?
Join me in this session as we dive into each AWS hosting service to determine which one is best for your scenario and explain why!
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
