How do you fix your iPhone 5c when you can hear the sound but can not see the screen?
First thing to do when there is a problem is to perform a Hard Reset. Do this by holding the Power button and the Home button at the same time until the Apple logo shows. …Then wait for a minute or two and your iPhone should work. If that doesn't work, try taking a screenshot by quickly pressing the power button and home button at the same time. If the screen goes white then you know the screen still has some functionality. You may need to restore your iPhone. It is a good idea to regularly back up your Apple device just in case a problem like this happens. If this doesn't work either you should bring your iPhone to a Genius Bar at an Apple Retail Store. (MORE)

When diagnosed with 3c 4c 5c 6c bulging discs with severe head pain and pain in your neck radiating into shoulders left arm and tingling in your fingers what all can be done is there a pinched nerve?
If the disks are herniated (bulging is another term) the specific nerves causing your problems ARE being pinched/compressed by the disks - that's what happens when you herni…ate a disk. The diagnosis you describe is disk herniations between the C3/C4/C5/C6 vertebrae. I've had flattened disks between C5/6/7, with a resulting fusion operation to correct it as well. In my case I had no choice as my left arm was becoming paralyzed. I've also had 2 other major spinal surgeries. You should already have received some kind of treatment plan, likely Flexeril, and anti-inflammatory and / or a strong painkiller like Percocet or Vicodin. It's important that you DO NOT LIFT anything over a couple of pounds. I'm guessing that this happened as either a whiplash injury or something similar. If the problem is already causing tingling and numbness in your fingers you need to report that immediately to your doctor. If you're not already seeing a Neurosurgeon, you should be. Orthopedists are useless in spine and disk problems as they understand the bone aspects, but not the neurological complexities. A general doctor just doesn't have the expertise required to treat this. The reason you need to report it is that if you're having tingling/numbness in your fingers (especially if it's creeping its way from the tips to the knuckles) the disk inflammation isn't getting any better and the pressure is enough that it's starting to cut off the nerve impulses to your hand. Unless you get it looked at and treated, you could wind up with long term nerve damage or worse. I've already faced this and been through it, aside from dealing with these problems myself for over 20 years. In my case, within 2 weeks of the initial pain my left arm was almost paralyzed, and my fingers were numb from the fingertips to the first knuckle. The fusion I had included a bone graft from my right pelvic area as well as a plate. It is not something to take lightly. If your doctor is not treating it as a serious issue, you need to get another one fast. I cannot stress the importance of getting the disk pressure relieved off of the nerve in question, likely the C5/C6 disk. Also, do not do any activity requiring any lifting, arm strength, etc., and don't drive if you can avoid it. If you're not taking any anti-inflammatory drugs (which I'd be shocked if you weren't) you need to start. Message me and let me know what meds they have you on so far. I had this category started because this is the one area in my life in which I've dealt with for many years, and I've survived bad doctors, diagnoses, hospital mistakes, pain on scales you can't imagine (even now), and continuing spinal damage and severe pain. Hopefully I can help you and others avoid the bad things that I've been through. if you have specific questions don't hesitate to PM me. 2 sites you need to look at: American Pain Foundation - http://tinyurl.com/8thkgm Spine Universe - http://tinyurl.com/ysxy5l If you eventually require surgery, let me know as there are certain decisions you'll face where the wrong choice can have consequences down the road. TSD -RAVEN- - Category Supervisor ---- I hope this helps if someone told you all those disc were bulging you must have had a mri? I just went threw the same thing c5 c6 had a pinch nerve and they did therapy did another mri showed nerve wasnt pinch anymore anyway to make along story short have a Dr do a milogram and catscan this shows all around the disk. Worked for me just had a fushion on c5 c6. Hope this helps. (MORE)

What is a mockingbird?
Mockingbirds are a group of New World passerine birds from the Mimidae family. They are best known for the habit of some species mimicking the songs of other birds, ofte…n loudly and in rapid succession. Mockingbirds also have a reputation of being fierce defenders of their nests. Both male and female mockingbirds will attack or feign diving attacks on both domestic and wild felines, canines, crows and other birds, even hawks, as well as humans who venture too close to their nest. They will even cooperate in groups to do so at times. Other defensive tactics involve aggressive vocalizations and adults acting wounded on the ground as a lure to draw predators away from the nest site. Most species are tropical, but the Northern Mockingbird breeds throughout the United States and Canada, including the northern Caribbean area. There are about 17 species in three genera. These do not appear to form a monophyletic lineage: Mimus and Nesomimus are quite closely related; their closest living relatives appear to be some thrashers, such as the Sage Thrasher. Melanotis is more distinct; it seems to represent a very ancient basal lineage of Mimidae. (MORE)

Who is the mockingbird in To Kill a Mockingbird?
I don't believe Atticus is. Tom Robinson, the black man he is defending, is seen as the mockingbird. Atticus is protecting him due to his own morals, despite the prejudice pre…sent in Maycomb County. Atticus believes that Tom deserves a fair defence, and goes out of his way to make sure that is what he is given. Despite overwhelming evidence to suggest Tom is innocent, the prejudiced jury find him guilty, and he is jailed. Later, attempting to escape jail, he is shot. The mockingbird is killed. Boo Radley is also considered a mockingbird. There are many characters which could be considered mockingbirds, but with this definition maybe you can find them yourself. To Kill A Mockingbird means to harm something which is innocent and does not deserve its fate. As Atticus said 'The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience'. His morals went beyond what anyone else thought, he knew what was right and he did it. 'I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do'. He didn't win the court case, but he knew he had protected the mockingbird and done the best he could with what he had, amongst the prejudice that ruled Maycomb. A Actually Atticus Finch did not defend Tom Robinson due to his own morals. He defended Tom because he was appointed the case. But what sets him apart from any other white lawyer in the day is that another white lawyer would have barely defended him. Boo Radley and Tom Robinson are both mockingbirds in this story. the theme of the book To Kill A Mockingbird is defined by the quote "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy… That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." The "mockingbird," so to speak, is Tom Robinson, the man who is wrongfully accused of raping Bob Ewell's daughter, Mayella. Tom Robinson wasn't doing anything to hurt the Ewells, but they still hurt him. I would have to say Tom Robinson. The mockingbird represents innocence. Tom Robinson is SYMBOLIC of the mockingbird because he is innocent (of raping Mayella Ewell). Tom Robinson and Boo Radley the mockingbird in the story refers to anyone who is innocent, but gets hurt anyway. the mockingbird is the most innocent bird, it doesnt hurt anyone, it just makes beautiful songs for all to hear. now, the "mockingbirds" in the novel, the innocent ones, who are "killed" or hurt are all part of the title. these characters are tom robinson, the innocent black man who is killed. also, the dog who didnt harm anyone who was shot. and the hurt innocent one can also be scout finch who started out pure and saw the world as perfexct, who is corrupted by seeing racism as she gets older. this goes for jem also. The mockingbird is considered to be Boo Radley. In the novel, Atticus says that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird because "they do nothing but sing their hearts out for us". The term mockingbird is used as a metaphor for people who are innocent, well meaning, kind, and noble. The people often considered to be the figurative mockingbirds are Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. Tom Robinson is considered a mockingbird because of his goodness and innocence, even when unjustly accused of the rape of Mayella Ewell. Boo Radley is considered a mockingbird because he serves as a savior of sorts for Scout and Jem. Towards the end of the book, Atticus and Officer Tate decide not to credit Boo with saving the children because they feel that dragging Boo from his life of solitude into the limelight of being a local hero would be akin to killing a mockingbird.
