Scar Tissue
Anthony Kiedis is a rock and roll drug and alcohol abuser who happens to be in one of the biggest bands today The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He wrote the book Scar Tissue to tell a story about himself and the wild road he took to get where he is today. The problem with the book is Anthony Kiedis strongest points are playing the guitar not telling a story in order and writing a book about it. It is more just rambling on and then this happened and then this happened. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been through a lot with the death of a band member due to drug overdoes. They had to play on without their other guitarist and also Anthony Kiedis best friend. They have their own style of music that reflects on what kind of people they are. Anthony tells stories about all the band members and what they have gone through together. Most people think of Anthony Kiedis as a guy who is a drug addicted worthless person although he really shows though this book he is an alright guy that really has a good story. Scar Tissue appeared to be a very interesting book. Bob Tarantino did not feel the same way about this book Scar Tissue. I wonder how much his personality would go along with mine feeling the same way about things. He makes it seem as if this book is all about drugs and sex stories but I may take it differently. Red Hot Chili Peppers have been my favorite band now for quite some time. I want to know what made them make this music. I find Anthony Kiedis still an interesting person despite all the bad things he has done. I’ve liked him for his music but I don’t know what type of person he is and would like to find out maybe not as a roll motel but I could learn lessons from him. Although having a bad book review I still am going to read this book. The last Album that came out I thought changed a lot and it was pretty good but had a different sound to it. I think that he has learned a lot from his life and they he has changed going through all this madness and learning how to

    My opinion that this book was a little sad because Kevin (also known as Freak) had a disease that made him stop growing at three feet so he had to wear metal leg braces and crutches. Also in the beginning Max was a bully because in the beginning of the story Max was called Kicker because whoever touched him Max will hurt that person by punching and kicking him/her. The book also talks a lot about friendship and trust because when Freak and Max first saw each it was only for one afternoon and that afternoon they barely talked to each other but once years have passed, some how Freak moved next to Max’s emptied neighbors house (the only reason the house was empty because the old neighbor was still in jail) So after Freak got out…

    Both of these albums set records on and off the stage (Vaziri, Aidin. Para 12). The bands success kept booming touring all around the world. Kiedis became 100 percent sober in 2000 and is now a motivational speaker in a number of rehab facilities. After becoming clean he wrote an autobiography, called Scar Tissue, which was about his struggles in life and how the band helped him get through them. After By the way, produced in 1999, the band was inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, and after 26 years of rock, the band seemed to be done with this album. They then produced Stadium Arcadium in 2006. This album was a top seller for two years in a row, and after the album, John left the band, but peacefully this time around. The other three musicians were not done though; they brought in their backup guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer. With Klinghoffer on guitar, the band created the album I’m With You in 2012 and are on their last tour this year (Shriver, Jerry. Para…

    There is a difference of opinion among canine experts as to whether bones should be given to a dog raw, cooked, hard, or soft, and even whether they should be given at all. On one point, however, there is total agreement, never give a dog splintering bones from chicken, pork, fowl, and rabbit, (although chicken bones that have been cooked in a pressure cooker until they are very soft can be quite nourishing and safe).…

    There are four types of tissue found in animals: connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial. We are going to go into muscle tissue. The cells of muscle tissues are called fibers. There are three types of muscle tissue and they are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. All types can go though hypertrophy (enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part of the body due to the increased size of the constituent cells). Muscle fibers contract due to the interaction of the contractile proteins, actin and myosin. Muscle contraction generates contractile force (tension). The contractile proteins of muscle are located in protein filaments called myofibrils. Muscle tissues function in body movements like locomotion and also in the movement of the body’s internal materials. Muscle tissues are mostly controlled by the nervous system, but cardiac and smooth muscle may be additionally regulated by the endocrine system. Now we are going to go into the types of muscle tissue. The structure of skeletal muscle tissue is formed from striated skeletal muscle fibers (cells). The fibers are characterized by being long, striated, parallel, cylindrical, and multinucleate. The fibers are separated by a connective tissue called endomysium. 80% of the fiber consists of rod-like protein filaments called myofibrils, which extend the length of the fiber and contain the contractile elements. The thick and thin protein filaments are organized to produce the alternating dark and light cross bands perpendicular to the long axes of the fibers called striations. The light cross bands are called I bands (isotrophic bands) and the dark cross bands are called A bands (anisotrophic bands). Centered in each band is a thin line called the Z line. Skeletal muscle tissue is named for its location as its attached to bones (skeletal muscle tissue is organized by connective tissues into the skeletal muscles). Skeletal muscle tissue can be made to contract or relax by conscious control (voluntary). The functional unit…

    Scarification is a Cultural practice among the African Culture. Some of the most elaborated patters scaring are found among the indigenous people of the Congo. The climate and costume in the Congo enable and promoted people to décor their bodies. Scarification is a procedure of incising the skin with a sharp tool to create raised marks and/or patterns. The tools used to cut the epidermis of the body are knife, glass, stone, coconut shell or seeds. Sometimes the wounds are manipulated with ashes or other substances to make them swell and leave a heavier scar. Beautiful and complex designs depended not only on the artist's skill, but also the person's tolerance of pain.…

    There are thousands of burn victims awaiting donations of human tissue to help meet critical needs in reconstructive surgery. My current case #49 regards the selling of human tissue donations. It’s a complicated situation where a few medical centers have acquired a partnership with a biotechnological company called Ardias Corporation. Ardias wants to create a tissue bank to help facilitate researchers with disease-specific tissue that will provide a link to accurate genetic sequence with diseases such as cancer. Ardias plans to supply a standard plan and, prior to surgery, patients will be asked if they would like to donate tissue samples. Surgeons will not be notified of consents and the patients will be securely protected of all information. Hospitals will sell the tissue to Ardias then in turn, Ardias will sell the patient information to biomedical researchers. The selling of human tissue is an ethical practice because it can facilitate better diagnosis and treatment of specific diseases.…

But recent research into regeneration mechanism of the central nervous system, The discovery of stem cells in the adult brain can give rise to new neurons and neural support cells, has raised hopes that researchers can find new ways to actually repair central nervous system damage. Research on stem cells in the nervous system disorders is one of the few areas in which there is evidence that cell replacement therapy can restore function. 3. THE STATUS OF RESEARCH ON THE REPAIR AND REGENERATION OF NERVOUS TISSUE OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Central nervous system injuries affect over 900,000 thousand people a year.
