INTERNET CENSORSHIP
Censoring the Internet The internet offers a huge wealth of information both good and bad, unfortunately the vary nature of the internet makes policing this new domain practically impossible. The internet began as a small university network in the United States and has blossomed into a vast telecommunications network spanning the globe. Today the internet is ruled by no governing body and it is an open society for ideas to be developed and shared in. Unfortunately every society has its seedy underside and the internet is no exception. To fully understand the many layers to this problem, an understanding of net history is required. Some thirty years ago the RAND corporation, Americas first and foremost Cold War think-tank faced a strange strategic problem. The cold war had spawned technologies that allowed countries with nuclear capability to target multiple cities with one missile fired from the other side of the world. Post-nuclear America would need a command and control network, linked from city to city, state to state and base to base. No matter how thoroughly that network was armored or protected, its switches and wiring would always be vulnerable to the impact of atomic bombs. A nuclear bombardment would reduce any network to tatters. Any central authority would be an obvious and immediate target for enemy missiles. The center of a network would be the first place to go. So RAND mulled over this puzzle in deep military secrecy and arrived at their solution. In 1964 their proposed ideas became public. Their network would have no central authority, and it would be designed from the beginning to operate while in tatters. All the nodes in the network would be equal in status to all other nodes, each node having its own authority to originate, pass and receive messages. The messages themselves would be divided into packets, each packet separately addressed.
Each packet would begin at some specified source node and end at some other specified destination node. The particular route that the packet took would be unimportant, only the final results counted. Each packet would be tossed around like a hot potato from node to node, more or less in the direction of its destination, until it ended up in the proper place. If big chunks of the network were blown away, which wouldn't matter, the packets would still stay airborne, moving across the field by whatever nodes happened to survive.

Many people, like myself, after watching an episode of “The Michael Jay Fox Show,” started to be come curious as to what exactly this disease is. You ask yourself; What is this disease? What causes it? Can it be passed down from generation to generation? Is there a treatment? What would your life be like suffering from this? Through my research on Parkinson’s disease, I am determined to answer these questions. I hope to have a better understanding on this disease, and how it affects the lives of patients that I might see in a hospital.
With more than 200,000 US cases per year, Parkinson’s disease has become a major part
Parkinson's is an idiopathic, multifactorial neurodegenerative disease that attacks neurotransmitters in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine is concentrated in a specific area of the brain called the substantia nigra. The neurotransmitter dopamine is a chemical that regulates muscle movement and emotion. Dopamine is responsible for relaying messages between the substantia nigra and other parts of the brain to control body movement. The death of these neurotransmitters affects the central nervous system. The most common symptoms are movement related, including shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with posture. Behavioral problems may arise as the disease progresses. Due to the loss of dopamine, Parkinson's patients will often experience depression and some compulsive behavior. In advanced stages of the disease dementia will sometimes occur. The implications of the disease on the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory and phonatory systems significantly control speech.
The path physiology of Parkinson’s disease is the pathogenesis if Parkinson disease is unknown. Epidemiologic data suggest genetic, viral, and environmental toxins as possible causes. Nigral and basal loss of neurons with depletion of dopamine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, is the principal biochemical alteration in Parkinson disease. Symptoms in basal ganglia disorders result from an imbalance of dopaminergic (inhibitory) and cholinergic (excitatory) activity in the caudate and putamen of the basal ganglia.

The seed keeper and her son come together again to meet over the topic of her leaving everything for something fresh, something, new. As they remain together for the small time while being home, his mother progressively notices distinctions about Li Qing each day he comes home from work (128). “She marvels at how having her son at her table can be a deep pleasure and at the same time a thorn in her heart”(129) .She never realized how much he has changed minutely from the ratty clothes to his demeanor. Thoughts Li Qing’s mother has towards the inevitably of losing him made being with him that more precious to her. Doerr shows that as time goes on people

Most signs and symptoms of Parkinson disease correspond to one of three motor deficiencies: bradykinesia, akinesia, tremor, and rigidity. The first two qualities are usually present before tremor, but often attributed to aging by the patient and even the physician, and thus the disease is rarely diagnosed until tremor becomes evident much later. An average of 80% of the nigrostriatal neurons may have already degenerated by the time Parkinsonism is diagnosed, which complicates treatment (Fitzgerald, 130). Bra...
To what lengths must a government go to protect its citizens from threats such as terrorism? This is a frequently debated and controversial topic. One of these so called measures is wiretapping without notice. The government should not randomly spy on its citizens because it is morally wrong and it violates basic human liberties such as but not limited to privacy.
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder marked by tremors, rigidity, slow movements (bradykinesia), and postural instability. It is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by decreased production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter. Dopamine is responsible for most of the body’s smooth muscle movements. As a result, motor control in Parkinson’s patients is disrupted, causing anything from uncontrollable tremors to muscular stiffness to slow-as-molasses movements. (2) PD affects about 500,000 people in the United States, both men and women, with as many as 50,000 new cases each year. The disease usually begins in a person’s late 50’s and 60’s; it causes a progressive decline in movement control, affecting the ability to control initiation, speed, and the smoothness of motion. The symptoms of PD are seen in up to 15% of those between the ages of 65-74, and almost 30% of those were between the ages of 75-84. (3)
It “is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is the one of the most common neurologic disorders of older adults” (Ignatavicius & Workman, 2016, p. 867). The brain is the primary organ involved. In the area of the brain called the substantia nigra, dopamine producing cells are damaged or destroyed. Because there is a diminished number of the dopaminergic neurons, dopamine production is decreased. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter responsible for relaying messages to other neurons. Dopamine, together with acetylcholine, work to polish and synchronize movement allowing for smooth, purposeful physical motion. As one neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, elicit a response; the other, dopamine, inhibits it. This works as a well balanced act to control voluntary movement. The decrease in dopamine is what gives Parkinson’s disease its characteristic. Four chief signs are found in Parkinson’s disease: tremors, especially when at rest; muscle rigidity; bradykinesia or akinesia, slow movement which can lead to muscles freezing or no movement especially facial muscles in which the individual adopts a mask like feature called hypomimia; and impaired posture and balance, individuals lose coordination increasing the risk for
Parkinson’s is associated with malfunction and even death of vital nerve cells in the brain. The area of the brain that is severely affected is called the substantia nigra. The neurons in this area of the brain produce dopamine, which is a chemical that sends messages to the part of the brain that controls movement. Slowly but surely the amount of dopamine manufactured in the brain will decrease. Decrease of dopamine can leave a person unable to control their own movements. Along with no control of their movement, there are many other symptoms.
The basal ganglia (BG) are responsible for a variety of functions, specifically providing adequate voluntary motor activity. They are an organized network, where different parts are activated for specific functions and circumstances. The motor circuit of the basal ganglia is the focus in this disease because PD is mainly thought to be a movement disorder (Obeso et al., 2008). Therefore, the level of the brain within the Central Nervous System that underlies the disorder is the cerebral cortex, and some subcortical structures. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain that is essential for higher mental and behavioral functioning. Underneath the cerebral cortex is where axons connect to and from the cortex and where interconnected clusters of cell bodies, like the basal ganglia, are located (Stirling, 2000, p. 61). The basal ganglia receive input from cortical areas, and transmit that input to the motor cortex through the thalamus, in order to permit movement. The substantia nigra is interconnected with the nuclei of the basal ganglia. Some connections are excitatory and some are inhibitory. The pars compacta part of the substantia nigra is where dopamine is produced. When there is a depletion, or low levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the substantia nigra, the balance of the output from the basal ganglia to the motor cortex is altered (Byrne
