This document discusses type 1 diabetes and the need to find a cure. Over 23 million people in the US are affected by diabetes, with around 2,200 newly diagnosed every day. One in 400 children will be diagnosed with diabetes before age 20. Type 1 diabetes causes the pancreas to not produce insulin, leaving those with it dependent on daily insulin injections. The story of Alexis Nicole Conaway's strength during her hospitalization provides hope. Every donation towards research is important in the search for a cure, which is crucial.

Poverty slide show courtney and willow
The document discusses the devastating impacts and scale of global poverty. It notes that poverty means lacking basic needs like food, shelter, clean water and healthcare. Every 43 seconds a child is born into poverty and every 53 seconds a child dies from preventable diseases associated with poverty. Over 15 million children die from malnutrition each year and 684,000 child deaths could be prevented by access to vitamins and minerals. Nearly 1 billion people suffer from starvation and over 1 billion lack access to clean water. The document calls on readers to help address these issues through donations, volunteering, fundraising or other means of support.
Group presentation slide- ENGL 003 Theme
The document discusses the importance of community and human interaction. It argues that humans have a biological need for social interaction from a young age. Isolation can cause both physical and psychological health issues. A supportive community environment where all people feel equal can help children succeed and break cycles of poverty. While some argue that individuals should only care for themselves, the document claims we have a responsibility to support our communities.

Collin
The state of Connecticut had initially decided to cut in half the hours that a home health aide helps care for 16-year-old Collin Rafferty, who has cerebral palsy and requires around-the-clock care. However, the state has now reversed its decision after backlash from Collin's family and doctors. Collin's mother, Kim Harrington, provides most of his care but finds it exhausting. She was relieved when told the state would continue funding the current level of home health services. Collin's condition makes even simple tasks like feeding extremely challenging, but those close to him have found him to be a source of strength and compassion.

Abigail's Journal
This journal entry from Abigail describes the growing tensions between colonists and British authority in the years leading up to the American Revolution. She recounts new taxes like the Stamp Act and Sugar Act that angered colonists by raising prices. Her family debates the issue, with her father strongly against the taxes while her mother believes colonists should cooperate with King George. Abigail also learns of major acts of protest like the Boston Tea Party, where colonists dumped tea in response to new taxes, and the Boston Massacre, where British soldiers killed colonists in a confrontation.

Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within a given species
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems, and is an indicator of ecosystem health. It is influenced by climate, with tropical regions tending to harbor more species than polar regions. Biodiversity encompasses the variety of living organisms, their genetic differences, and the communities and ecosystems in which they occur.

El documento discute la relación entre la calidad educativa, el desarrollo infantil y el papel del docente. Explica que la educación influye significativamente en el desarrollo de los niños y que la calidad de la enseñanza depende en gran medida del trabajo y prácticas del profesor. También señala que aunque la sociedad demanda altos resultados académicos, la verdadera calidad educativa consiste en preparar de manera holística a los estudiantes para la vida.

Class 7 massage routine
This document provides instructions for several massage techniques:
1) Make circles around the shoulder blades and stroke out to the arms. Sit behind the person and make gentle movements on their neck.
2) Sit to the side of the person and make half circles on their shoulders with your arms. Stroke from the forehead to the sides and hold the head.
3) Make circular movements with your fingertips on the person's head, neck, and shoulders while maintaining contact.
Postion shift project 1
This document discusses taking things for granted and being grateful. It shares the story of a woman in Africa with 3 young children who died from lack of access to healthcare. Her oldest son, now age 7, discusses how they struggled and what opportunities he hopes for. The document encourages appreciating family, education, healthcare, and other privileges that are often taken for granted in America. It promotes being grateful instead of wasteful.
Walk for Her
This document discusses the National Eating Disorder Association's (NEDA) Walk for Her event to raise awareness and funds for eating disorders. It notes that eating disorders affect over 30 million people yearly in the US, yet they remain poorly understood and underfunded. NEDA works to support those affected by eating disorders and increase prevention and treatment efforts. The upcoming NEDA Walk in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 16th aims to bring more people together in the fight against these mental illnesses. Participants can register online and donations are also being accepted from those unable to attend.
Another World
The document discusses anorexia nervosa and body image issues. It describes how the author gradually lost weight due to unhealthy eating habits and exercise, going from 110 pounds in May to 85 pounds in January without realizing she had developed an eating disorder. The subtle nature of anorexia makes it difficult to recognize, even for those aware of the signs. Cultural pressures that idealize thinness contribute to body dissatisfaction and dieting among both women and young girls. Ultimately, only those suffering from an eating disorder can truly recognize the problem and choose help and recovery.
2009 Terre Haute Walk Now for Autism Speaks Kick Off Luncheon Pp
1) The document is for the 2009 Walk Now for Autism Speaks kickoff luncheon in Terre Haute, IN on August 15, 2009 to raise awareness and support for autism.
2) Autism impacts 1 in 150 individuals and is 4 times more likely to affect boys than girls, yet receives less than 5% of research funding of other less prevalent childhood diseases.
3) The walk aims to show support for families dealing with autism and help "solve the puzzle" by raising funds for research to find medical detection and a cure for autism since currently there are none.
Kindness: Why we help others, not always not everyone
People are more inclined to help identifiable victims than statistical victims. An experiment showed people donated nearly twice as much to help a single identifiable girl in need compared to helping thousands of unnamed children statistically. We feel more empathy and motivation to help when the victim is individualized, vividly described, and we feel our help can make a meaningful difference (the "drop in the bucket" effect). While problematic for large problems, this identifiable victim effect is effectively used by organizations to motivate donations by personalizing victims.
Becoming one with the world. Child poverty. The Facts.
This document discusses the need for unity and empathy in addressing global poverty and inequality. It notes that over 30% of children in developing countries, about 600 million, live on less than $1 per day and that 22,000 children die daily due to poverty. It calls for internal change and working together to address these issues through everyday actions and a new conversation. Resources are provided for learning more about global hunger and poverty statistics.
Heart Healthy
Americans have high rates of preventable diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Children are also becoming less healthy, with increasing rates of conditions like asthma, obesity, and early signs of heart disease. The main causes of poor health are poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and an approach focused on treatment rather than prevention. Eating more whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds can help strengthen the immune system and significantly reduce risks of many diseases.
Diabetes cure alex_jones
This document discusses a herbal formulation containing 16 herbs that can help treat diabetes. It notes that this formulation contains a combination of herbs that have been shown to be effective in lowering blood sugar levels and managing diabetes symptoms.

National eating disorder awareness week 2012
National Eating Disorder Awareness Week brings attention to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia that affect millions of Americans each year. The author shares their personal experience with secretly suffering from anorexia and bulimia for three years as a seemingly normal teenager until seeking treatment. Eating disorders are more common than people realize, affecting both women and men across all ages, backgrounds and body types. It is important to speak up if you or someone you know may be struggling with an eating disorder and to seek help through organizations like NationalEatingDisorders.org.
