	i&d.Sit Ins
		The student-led sit-in at the Woolworth's store was the beginning of the largely youth-led social reform movements of the 1960s.
		We requested four stools, a corresponding eight-foot section of counter, mirrors, a soda fountain and a section of cornice, all as close to the original sit-in site as we could determine using historic photographs.
		The final hurdle involved negotiations with Sit-in Movement Inc., a small local organization formed by African American residents of Greensboro to purchase and preserve the Woolworth store, and eventually convert it into a national civil rights museum.

	SNCC-Events: Sit-ins
		The first sit-in on February 1, 1960 in Greensboro, North Carolina, is said to have been the catalyst for an entire movement, including the birth of SNCC.

		On February 10, Hampton, Virginia became the first city outside of North Carolina to experience a sit-in, and by the end of the month, sit-ins had occurred in more than thirty communities in seven states.

	Teach Your Cat to Sit Up on Command
		Sitting up is perhaps the easiest trick of all to teach your cat.
		Cats can be taught to sit up on command too - and they are cuter when they do it than their canine counterparts (Okay - maybe I am a bit biased).
		I think the thing I like best about teaching my cat to sit up is that I suspect they have visions in their head of being big cats performing in the circus.

	YogaJournal.Com: Sit Up and Take Note
		Sitting in a chair can be improved by carefully picking the chair used for most sitting; it should encourage the normal lumbar curve and a neutral pelvis position.
		When we sit with a rounded back, we compress and flatten the fronts of the discs, putting pressure on the spinal nerves, which in turn can cause pain and dysfunction of the spinal muscles.
		On the other hand, if I sit in such a way that my fingers and thumbs are level and my pelvis is in a neutral position, then my lower back has its normal concave curve, and there is a greater chance that I will be comfortable.

	The Hardest Situp
		The former explains why the crunch isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and the latter illuminates the virtues of the Janda sit-up.

		I don’t believe the rectus abdominus is hooked up to perform that movement unassisted.
