Gym Rats

Stage Set: Late in the evening in the Hammer House Boxing Gym, most of the regulars have left. A scattered few people still remain. In the background, a man uses a jump rope. A woman does push-ups.
(CAIN, a small boxer, sits on a bench unwrapping the protective tape off of his knuckles and wrists using his teeth. SERGIO, his sparring partner and best friend, cuts away at the tape on CAIN'S other hand.)
SERGIO: I know you've got a hand in there somewhere.
CAIN: (spitting the tape out of his mouth) Well, remember to stop cutting once you see bone.
(The people exercising in the background finish their workouts and move off stage, leaving the focus of the audience on CAIN and SERGIO.)
SERGIO: Right, like you'd be able to feel it otherwise. I don't even think you have bone in there. I think you've got anvils in your hands.
CAIN: Are you kidding? I'll need more than anvils come fight night. Doerkson is a monster in the ring. To bring him down, I'll need a lead pipe and a tank if you can spare them.
(Freed from the cast of protective tape, CAIN'S hands start to violently shake. CAIN closes them into a fist until they calm.)
SERGIO: What was that?
(CAIN stands up and walks over to a nearby heavy bag and starts to throw light jabs.)
CAIN: It's nothing, just nerves. It'll calm down after the fight.
SERGIO: Have you seen a doctor?
(CAIN'S light jabs get heavier.)
CAIN: Seriously, I'm fine. Just nerves.
SERGIO: You don't get nerves. You don't get worried or stressed. I know you. What's going on?
(CAIN'S heavy jabs get heavier as the heavy bag begins to sway.)
CAIN: I'm fine. Let it go.
SERGIO: You can't stonewall me. We're going to a doctor tonight. I don't want to see you end up like Motts, stumbling around, shaking, can't even hold a spoon to eat, let alone throw hands. He took too many punches to the head, and now, his head is like a snow globe—just little flakes floating around in there. As a matter of fact. . . .
(CAIN begins to pummel at the heavy bag, and the bag begins to rock violently.)
CAIN: Let it go! I'm not going to any doctors now. If I do, the athletic commission steps in. If they step in, they'll cancel the fight. They do that and I'm out of a purse. I need that money! And if you call yourself my friend, you'll keep quiet.
(SERGIO walks over and stops the swaying bag.)
SERGIO: It's your funeral.
(SERGIO walks away to the locker room. CAIN'S hands start to shake again until CAIN closes them into fists. The tremors stop.)

Next, I started working on my first big project of the day, creating a website for a landscaping company. I studied all of the information that would be included on the website. I used Photoshop graphic design software to create a prototype of what I wanted my finished website to look like. Next, I used software called Dreamweaver to create my webpage. Dreamweaver is a website builder and HTML editor. I used it to make the layout and add the fonts and colors for my website.
Next, I sent off a few emails informing my clients that I had completed the work. Then I started working on my second important project. A client had asked us to create a mobile app for her e-learning company. I used software called Android Studio to work on the app. I won’t be able to finish it today. It might take me anywhere from a few weeks to a month to finish it. I do all my coding on my laptop because it has all my software. I access information on my iPad because it has a faster Internet connection. I use my mobile phone to talk to clients.:

Read the sentence from "The Four Freedoms."
Taking counsel of expert military and naval authorities, considering what is best for our own security, we are free to decide how much should be kept here and how much should be sent abroad to our friends who by their determined and heroic resistance are giving us time in which to make ready our own defense.
What viewpoint is Roosevelt expressing in the sentence?
The United States will not be able to aid its allies unless it increases arms production.
If the United States aids its allies, the United States will keep control of the process.
The allies may be trying to take advantage of the United States, but the United States will prevent that.
The needs of the allies are so great that the United States should give them all they ask.
Answer:
this is the answer

Benson Deng, his brother Alephonsion Deng and Benjamin Ajak are the three young boys from Sudan who endured numerous hardships to escape the civil war, death, and killing in their country. Their memoir "They Poured Fire on Us From The Sky" became one of the most riveting and painful stories of their journey to find safety and also be reunited with each other.
After their safe arrival in the land of the free- America, they were kept under the custody of a mentor named Judy Bernstein, a staff of the International Rescue Committee.

In line 85, it states “back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky.” What caused the highwayman to be so angry?
Answer:
The highwayman's anger was caused by the discovery of the death of Bess, the girl he loved.
Explanation:
The poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes tells the story of an unnamed highwayman falling in love with the daughter of an innkeeper. But the betrayal of Tim, the ostler, led Bess, the girl to sacrifice her life to save the highwayman from getting killed by the authorities.
The lines "back he spurred like a madman, shouting a curse to the sky" shows his anger at discovering that Bess had been killed while trying to save him. This was her way of making sure that he did not get captured and then tortured by the authorities, thereby showing her love for him. Thus, the anger in him was a result of knowing Bess, his lover, had died at the hands of the authorities who were waiting for him.

Answer:
ivalidity and relevance in today's society.
Explanation:
The continuum of care is a key strategy for ensuring comprehensive service delivery for maternal health, while acknowledging the role of the social determinants of health. However, there is little research on the operationalisation of the framework by decision-makers and implementers to address maternal health challenges. The framework should be measurable and feasible for implementation in low- and middle-income country contexts. In this study, we explore experts’ perspective on monitoring indicators for continuum of care and key issues related to their use in the South African context.
Methods
We conducted key informant interviews with a range of experts in decision-making and programme implementation roles in the health system and relevant sectors. Key informants provided their perspectives on systematically selected, nationally representative monitoring indicators in terms of validity, relevance and feasibility. We interviewed 13 key informants and conducted a thematic analysis of their responses using multi-stage coding techniques in Atlas.ti 8.4.
Results
Experts believed that the continuum of care framework and monitoring indicators offer a multisectoral perspective for maternal health intervention missing in current programmes. To improve validity of monitoring indicators, experts suggested reflection on the use of proxy indicators and improvement of data to allow for equity analysis. In terms of relevance and feasibility, experts believe there was potential to foster co-accountability using continuum of care indicators. However, as experts stated, new indicators should be integrated that directly measure intersectoral collaboration for maternal health. In addition, experts recommended that the framework and indicators should evolve over time to reflect evolving policy priorities and public health challenges.
Conclusion
Experts, as decision-makers and implementers, helped identify key issues in the application of the continuum of care framework and its indicators. The use of local indicators can bring the continuum of care framework from an under-utilised strategy to a useful tool for action and decision-making in maternal health. Our findings point to measurement issues and systematic changes needed to improve comprehensive monitoring of maternal health interventions in South Africa. Our methods can be applied to other low- and middle-income countries using the continuum of care framework and locally available indicators.
Keywords: Maternal health, continuum of care, framework, indicators, relevance, feasibility, validity, qualitative
