AFTER BATH






After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself is a pastel drawing by Edgar Degas, made between 1890 and 1895. Since 1959, it has been in the collection of the National Gallery, London. This work is one in a series of pastels and oils that Degas created depicting female nudes. Originally, Degas exhibited his works at Impressionist exhibitions in Paris, where he gained a loyal following. Degas’s nude works, including After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, continue to spark controversy among art critics. Edgar Degas often used photographs and sketches as a preliminary step, studying the light and the composition for his paintings. His use of light may be attributable to his deteriorating eyesight. Degas applied numerous pastel layers in After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, making the woman appear somewhat translucent. The heavily worked pastel creates deep textures and blurred contours, emphasizing the figure's movement. The work depicts a woman sitting on white towels spread over a wicker chair, with her back to the viewer. Her body is arched and slightly twisted, creating a tension in her back, accentuated by the deep line of her backbone. One hand dries her neck with a towel, presumably after the woman exited the tin bath in the corner of the room. The other arm holds onto the chair for support. Space is defined by the vertical and diagonal lines where the floor and walls meet.

PREGNANCY EXERCISE Regular aerobic exercise during pregnancy appears to improve (or maintain) physical fitness. Physical exercise during pregnancy does appear to decrease the need for C-section. Bed rest, outside of research studies, is not recommended as there is no evidence of benefit and potential harm. The Clinical Practice Obstetrics Committee of Canada recommends that "All women without contraindications should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength-conditioning exercises as part of a healthy lifestyle during their pregnancy". Although an upper level of safe exercise intensity has not been established, women who were regular exercisers before pregnancy and who have uncomplicated pregnancies should be able to engage in high-intensity exercise programs. In general, participation in a wide range of recreational activities appears to be safe, with the avoidance of those with a high risk of falling such as horseback riding or skiing or those that carry a risk

SMITHY SKILL                                                                  https://youtu.be/k6-KsoYYoYE A blacksmith is a metalsmith who creates objects from wrought iron or steel by forging the metal, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut (cf. tinsmith). Blacksmiths produce objects such as gates, grilles, railings, light fixtures, furniture, sculpture, tools, agricultural implements, decorative and religious items, cooking utensils, and weapons. There was a historical opposition between the heavy work of the blacksmith and the more delicate operation of a whitesmith, who usually worked in gold, silver, pewter, or the finishing steps of fine steel. The place where a blacksmith works are called variously a smithy, a forge, or a blacksmith's shop. While there are many people who work with metal such as farriers, wheelwrights, and armorers, in former times the blacksmith had a general knowledge of how to make and repair many things, from the most complex of weapons and armor to sim

Prosthesis In  medicine , a  prosthesis  from  Ancient Greek   prosthesis , or  prosthetic  implant   is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or a condition present at birth ( congenital disorder ).  Prostheses are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part.   Amputee  rehabilitation is primarily coordinated by a  physiatrist  as part of an interdisciplinary team consisting of physiatrists, prosthetists, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists.   Prostheses can be created by hand or with  computer-aided design  (CAD), a software interface that helps creators design and analyze the creation with computer-generated  2-D  and  3-D graphics  as well as analysis and optimization tools. Iron prosthetic hand believed to have been owned by Götz von Berlichingen (1480–1562) Over the years, there have been advancements in artificial limbs.
