Problem: Article: Nerve tissue extends outwards from the brain and spinal cord, and is necessary for sending important messages all through the body. A pinched nerve in the hip happens when there is overstretching or compression in the midsection of the body. Since this area is responsible for numerous bodily movements, any injury to the nerves in the hip can result in a lot of pain and discomfort. . The most common symptoms of a compressed or pinched nerve include the following:   Numbness or tingling: Irritation may be experienced in the affected area. In severe cases, loss of sensation in the compressed nerve may be felt.  Pain: A throbbing or radiating pain may be felt at the location of the pinched nerve.  “Pins and needles”: Afflicted individuals may suffer from a burning "pins and needles" sensation in the compressed nerve.  Weakness:  Inability to perform certain activities may be experienced with the advancement of a pinched nerve.  Muscle Wasting: This usually occurs in the later stages of an injury. It's always best to compare the affected area with the opposite normal area to see if there is any difference in muscle size. If you find that there is a difference, see your physician immediately. A pinched nerve is caused by compression or pressure on the nerve as a result of several factors such as:   Repetitive motions: Overuse of certain parts of the body may cause too much pressure on the nerve, causing it to become compressed.  Maintaining one position for an extended amount of time: Keeping the body in a particular pose for an extended period of time can lead to a pinched nerve. The chances of acquiring a pinched nerve are increased by the following risk factors:   Heredity: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to developing a pinched nerve.  Obesity: Excess body weight can add pressure to the nerves.  Osteoarthritis: This illness causes bone spurs, which may cause the nerves to be compressed.  Overuse: Repetitive movements of certain parts of the body may increase the likelihood of developing a pinched nerve.  Posture: Additional amount of pressure is placed on the nerves and spine with poor posture. A pinched nerve can be properly diagnosed after several procedures recommended by specialists such as:   Electromyography: During the course of the procedure, a thin needle electrode is attached into the muscle to measure its electrical activity during periods of activity (contraction) and rest.  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): An MRI is used to determine the presence of nerve root compression. It uses a magnetic field and radio waves to generate a more in-depth image of the body.  Nerve conduction study: Performed to stimulate the nerve with mild electrical impulses through a patch-style electrodes attached to the skin.
Summary: Understand what a pinched nerve is. Identify the symptoms of a pinched nerve Familiarize yourself with the causes of a pinched nerve. Be aware of the risk factors for developing a pinched nerve. Know how a pinched nerve is diagnosed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are many online language courses and materials available for purchase, but you can also access language learning resources for free. While the free courses may not bring you to fluency, they will help you get a jumpstart on learning Arabic in a structured way. Download Arabic language courses from the US Foreign Service Institute (FSI) at https://www.livelingua.com/arabic/courses/fsi/. The FSI courses include the Levantine (Jordan, Lebanon) and Hijazi (Saudi Arabia) Arabic dialects, as well as written Arabic. Many of the mobile learning apps use gamification, turning your learning into a game to win awards and earn badges and other in-game prizes and bonuses as you unlock each new section. While you likely won't achieve fluency through these apps, they can help you expand and reinforce your vocabulary and teach you basic grammar. Some popular apps include Tinycards, Duolingo, Memrise, and Clozemaster. You can use these apps for free. However, there are also premium features in each app that you'll have to pay to access. While the talks themselves are in English, you can read the transcripts in Arabic and then check the video for comprehension. Try writing an English translation of the Arabic then compare that to the actual talk. Look for TED talks by Arabic activists and natives. They will give you a glimpse into the culture and issues facing Arab nationals. On websites such as Lang-8, MyLanguageExchange.com, and Italki, you can connect with native speakers to practice your Arabic skills.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are as many types of curators as there are types of museums - art museums, history museums, children’s museums, science museums, and a vast range of specializations in between. You will need to choose what sort of museum you want to work for in order to pursue the appropriate education.  Consider what experiences have influenced your desire to be a museum curator. Were you inspired by an Aztec history exhibit you saw on a school field trip? Do you dream of working in a place like the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Be as specific as possible. If you know you want to work in a science museum, think about what aspects of science interest you the most. Chemistry? Physics? Astronomy? The more specific your choice, the more extensively you can educate yourself in it. Many colleges offer Bachelor’s degrees in museology, or museum studies, but it’s not absolutely necessary that you choose this as your major. Museums will look for candidates with extensive education and experience in a field that is relevant to what they’re curating, such as art or history, as well as knowledge of business administration, marketing, and fundraising. Bachelor’s degrees typically take 4 years to complete, although it may take more if you choose a double major. By this time, you should have some idea of what subject you want to focus on. If you became particularly interested in African art while getting your Bachelor’s in art history, look for Master’s programs that have a focus in African art.  Look at the faculty of graduate departments as well as the programs. Who you work with can have a great impact on your education, as well as your career. Many curators find jobs through the recommendations of professors in their field, so building a good relationship with faculty is a must.  Graduate programs typically take between 1.5 and 3 years to complete. Many lower-level curatorial positions only require a Master’s, but if you want to become curator at a national museum, you’ll need a PhD. This should be in the field you wish to specialize in. Because of the competitive nature of this field, a specialized degree is increasingly necessary. You want to demonstrate as much expertise in whatever you hope to curate as possible.  When you choose a subject for your thesis, it’s ideal to find something unique that will stand out from other research in your field. Educate yourself on what research has already been done and aim to make a distinctive contribution. PhD programs typically take at least 5 years (the average length, however, is 8.2 years).
Summary:
Choose your interest area. Get your Bachelor’s degree. Get a Master’s in the field you wish to specialize in. Get a PhD if you want to increase your career options.
