sleep walking and hallucinations

Sleepwalking is a common sleep disorder that over 15% of people have. The normal sleep cycle has many distinct cycles. Rapid eye movement or (REM) is when dreaming is most prominent. In  regular sleep, people experience REM many times and this is when people will likely sleepwalk the most. The cause of sleepwalking in children is normally unknown, but fatigue stress and anxiety. In adults sleepwalking can be from mental disorders, seizures or a reaction to drugs and alcohol. When elderly people have a sleepwalking disorder it is normally related organic brain disorder. Lack of sleep can also cause the brain to hallucinate and create false images that aren't actually there. Hallucinations are sensations that are not real. Any of the senses can be involved. A person may see, hear, taste, smell, or feel something that is not there. Hallucinations can be frightening for the person experiencing them and for those near them Being exposed to extreme stress for long periods of time can bring upon hallucinations. Electrical or neuro-chemical activity in the brain can create auras, which is a type of hallucination that warns the body of a migraine. Also, auras involving smell and touch are known to warn of an epileptic attack. schizophrenia is a symptom where a person can see people who aren't there or they can hear voices that talk to them. Hallucinations and sleepwalking can go hand in hand because lack of sleep, anxiety or stress can make people both hallucinate or start sleepwalking.

journal #1 hunger games

In the book "The Hunger Games'' the scene where Katniss was getting interviewed and the man said "let's go back to the moment where your sister's name was called.'' "what did she say to you? After the reaping?" Katniss replied "she asked me to try really hard to win."  p129 I believe this is foreshadowing for the turnout of the hunger games. The way they showed how Prim wants her sister to win so badly will give Katniss the extra push to win and stay alive to come back and provide for her mom and younger sister. Katniss will have to fight all the other tributes and if she gets her hands on a bow she will have a fighting chance. Katniss is a master archer and a bow in her hand means she will be able to take down the other tributes from a distance.

The way Katniss had stood up for her sister I can connect to because if anything like this would ever happen to my sister or family I'd put myself before them and take it personally. The way Katniss Doesn't want to lose her sister and uses this as motivation would be the same way I would react to this type of situation. Being put into a scenario where if you possibly wont be able to see your family again would be enough motivation for me to give it my all and be determined not to lose so I could go back to them.

moral dilema

When I was in the museum some french guy named Jacques lit up a cigarette and ashed it into a garbage. The garbage caught on fire and set the building on fire as well. The fire grew closer and I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and I had to choose the old lady or the Mona Lisa. I chose the Mona Lisa because I figured the lady will have a better chance of scooting out of the building on her wheelchair and then I could save the priceless painting. The old lady was 92 years old and she had a great life. The painting is a key piece of history and easily the most recognisable painting in the world. If I were to save the Mona Lisa I would be able to get millions of dollars and be able to help the needy and the poor, plus I could also buy a sweet car.

5 things I would grab if my house burnt down

1. make sure all my family is out of the house
2. bikes
3. snowboard
4. my trucks keys and lanyard
5. clothing (snowboarding gear included)

I would get all of my family out of the house for the obvious reason that they are my family. I wouldn't be able to live without my family if I lost them. I would grab both of my bikes because if worse comes to worse I could sell them and make money. Also I love to bike and it is my second favorite passion right behind snowboarding. I would grab my snowboard because it is the biggest part of my life. Snowboarding is my happy place and it is my favorite pass time, I live on the mountains and its my second home. I would also grab my trucks keys and Heineken lanyard because I need my truck for transport and she is my baby. Finally i would grab as much clothing as i could carry because I have to stay fresh and have gear to snowboard.

how to backside rodeo 540

The back side rodeo is a more advanced trick and you shouldn't attempt it unless you feel comfortable upside down. when you drop in to the jump come in with a little less speed than normal because you will pop a lot more off the lip. You start by doing a toe side turn at the base of the jump, as you are going up the jump switch your weight from your toes to your heels. When you get to the lip drop your back shoulder just a little bit and that will start your flipping rotation. With your head look backwards to spot your landing to keep your back flip from stalling out upside down, don't "freak out" upside down just stay calm and let the flip come all the way around . Tuck your knees up and go into a melon grab and this will make you spin your 540. Open up as you spot you landing and just stomp the landing to finish off your trick.

so in short
1. Toe side turn as you near the jump
2. Heel side turn to transfer you weight
3. Drop back shoulder and grab melon.
4. Don't freak out
5. Spot your landing
6. Stomp the landing
7. Do it again!
