LEAD DRAFT FOR SWIMMING INJURIES:

Swimming injuries have many different causes, which can occur immediate or can occur as the result of a long-term swimming career. Some ways that swimmers can increase the risk of an injury are by overuse of a specific part of the body, lacking crucial flexibility and strength, etc. These injuries, like [[swimmer’s shoulder]] and [[breaststroker’s knee]], cause pain to the swimmer in certain regions that permit necessary movement for the required precise technique. Although these injuries can halt a professional swimmer’s career, many can be treated and some can even be prevented. There are different procedures and exercises that can either prevent an injury or help with recovering from an injury. Many of the exercises are specific to the injury and vary in helpfulness according to the person and the technique used for the exercise.

FROM ARTICLE SOURCE: The Gregorian and the Chinese calendars are both based on astronomical cycles: the rotation of the earth (a day), the orbit of the moon around the earth (a month), and the earth's orbit of the sun (a year). Yet, while the Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, since every day, month, and year is based on an astronomical date, it mostly follows a lunar cycle.

FROM ARTICLE SOURCE: Unlike the Western zodiac and its constellations, the Chinese zodiac is based on an ancient calendar. However, this calendar's cycle includes 12 years, not 12 months. Each year in a cycle is named for one of the zodiac animals, and the animal is said to “rule” that year. For example, the year 2016 is the Year of the Monkey, and 2017 is the Year of the Rooster.

FROM WIKI: The Chinese Zodiac follows the lunisolar Chinese calendar[citation needed] and thus the "changeover" days in a month (when one sign changes to another sign) vary each year.[1]

FROM ARTICLE SOURCE: During the Early Modem period, many believed that the seven planets— Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the sun, and the moon—affected the course of terrestrial events and determined the temperament, complexion, profession, and even the manner of death of individuals. Such concepts were depicted by artists in a series of images conunonly referred to as the 'Children of the Planets'. By merging scientific knowledge and popular imagery, the convention helped to shape the contemporary understanding of the cosmos. Astrology is often described in terms of the correspondence between the macrocosm and the microcosm or the universe and the individual, but by linking diverse individuals according to mutual planetary affiliations, the 'Children of the Planets' also offered a system for categorizing corporate identity and defining social relations.

FROM WIKI: Rulership is the connection between planet and correlated sign and house.[18] In traditional Western astrology, each sign is ruled by one and only one of the seven visible planets (note that in astrology, the Sun and Moon are termed The Lights, while the other bodies are called planets, which literally means wanderers, i.e. wandering stars as opposed to the fixed stars).[2]
