Kids Trade Halloween Candy for Healthy Smiles
Nationwide, more and more children are trading the candy they collect at Halloween for cash, toys, and other prizes. This makes dentists and parents happy because kids are consuming fewer sugary sweets that can promote tooth decay. The trend also has the potential to benefit a variety of charitable causes.
2018 Ambassador Leaders Community Action Plan - Walk for Change
Student-led community action plan created & presented during an Ambassador Leadership Summit in 2018 at Yale University.
Good news for children
More children worldwide are going to school and fewer are dying in infancy compared to a decade ago, according to a new report by Save the Children. However, the report also found an increase in child hunger in the poorest countries. While school attendance and infant mortality have improved due to local economic growth in developing regions and a focus on education and health in international aid, child malnutrition is rising because of high food prices and inequality. Save the Children called for more investment in small-scale agriculture and support for women farmers to address this hidden problem of hunger.
Nestle and Danone – the baby food scandal
Nestle has an unenviable record, that of being the company subject to the longest boycott in history. Nestle accounts for 23% of the global baby food market having a distribution network in over 140 countries. Since 1977, when the boycott started, Nestle have been subject of criticism by many organisations and pressure groups for their aggressive promotion of powdered baby milk, especially in emerging economies and the developing world.
Nestle: Baby Formula Case Study
Nestle is a large multinational food and beverage company headquartered in Switzerland. For over 20 years, Nestle has faced controversy over its marketing of infant formula in developing countries. Critics argue that Nestle's aggressive marketing undermined breastfeeding and contributed to infant illnesses and deaths. In response, Nestle has implemented policies to comply with the WHO International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, though some argue its marketing continues to promote formula over breastfeeding. Today Nestle remains a top infant formula producer globally and continues expanding into emerging markets like China and Africa.
Nestle-the-infant-formula-controversy (1)
Nestle has faced accusations that its marketing of infant formula in developing countries contributed to infant malnutrition and death by discouraging breastfeeding. Specifically, critics argue that Nestle's advertising promoted formula as superior to breastmilk and their distribution of free samples led mothers to dilute formulas dangerously.
Nestle defends itself by saying it always stated breastmilk is best and only advocated formula as a supplement when needed or substitute when breastfeeding is impossible. It also argues that many poor mothers' diets lack nutrients and they need supplemental feeding, and some mothers' work prevents breastfeeding so formula is necessary. However, critics counter that aggressive marketing still undermined breastfeeding.
After pressure, Nestle agreed to support the
Nourish the Children Smiles Report 2014
Nicaragua has high rates of malnutrition among children, with over 40% of children under 5 suffering from chronic malnutrition and nearly 25% experiencing stunted growth. World Vision is distributing donations of VitaMeal, a nutritional supplement created by Nu Skin, to child care centers in impoverished areas of Nicaragua. At a center in Yali that cares for 90 children, the cook has created meals using VitaMeal that the children enjoy and that provide needed nutrition. Thanks to purchases and donations of VitaMeal by Nu Skin distributors and customers, malnourished children in Nicaragua are able to receive nutritious meals through initiatives like Nourish the Children.
Q5 nestle case
Nestle should launch educational advertisements to teach women about HIV transmission and promote their infant formula as an alternative for infected mothers. The messages must not discourage breastfeeding for non-infected mothers. Nestle should work with governments and health agencies to provide testing, education on preventing HIV/AIDS transmission during conception, delivery, and breastfeeding, and support for infected mothers and babies.

This document discusses Nestle's marketing of infant formula and the problems that arose. It promoted formula as a breast milk substitute through aggressive TV, radio, and print advertising as well as distributing free samples. This shifted mothers from breastfeeding to formula, despite breastmilk being the best nutrient source for babies. Formula can cause allergies and issues if prepared with contaminated water. While management prioritized profits and market expansion, the marketing techniques were deemed unethical and caused mothers to lose the ability to lactate. Guidelines were established that employees should not promote formula as superior to breastmilk and should manufacture products according to WHO standards to improve transparency and consumer protection.
The Infant Formula Controversy
Nestle faced accusations over marketing infant formula in the Third World. Critics charged that aggressive marketing discouraged breastfeeding, contributing to malnutrition and death. While Nestle defended its practices, it ultimately adopted new policies in line with WHO recommendations, including limiting advertising and promoting breastfeeding.

Nestlé fought back through lawsuits and public relations campaigns. It later agreed to changes including following the WHO marketing code and ending certain marketing practices. However, concerns over its activities in developing countries continued.

Intro to Art Direction: Milk Print and Outdoor Creative Brief
Moms need convincing to choose milk over other beverages for their busy children aged 6-14. Milk provides essential nutrients like calcium, protein, vitamins and minerals that growing bodies need. The advertising should create a reason for moms to feel good about choosing milk, which has these eight nutrients in every glass. Suggested messages note that chocolate milk competes with soda while providing the same nutrients as regular milk, and that milk helps build strong teeth unlike soda or fruit drinks.
Cannes Young Lions - Final Presentation - Paul Den & Kristine Ballensky
The document proposes a strategy to raise awareness and donations for the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI) by leveraging parental reactions to prevent child hurt. The insight is that parents would do anything to prevent their child from hurting again. The strategy is to own this moment of parental reaction to highlight the importance of prevention. The challenge is how to make preventative care a priority. The big idea is to create "Happy Healthy Band-Aids" branded with MCRI that would be widely distributed, generating impressions and potential ongoing donors to fund preventative research.
Young Lions - Global Competition - Team Australia - Paul Den & Kristine Balle...
This document proposes a strategy called "Notes on Notes" to promote donations to Doctors Without Borders (MSF). The strategy involves placing 250,000 temporary stickers about MSF's work on British banknotes. These stickers will educate people about MSF's cause as the banknotes circulate. The stickers will drive people to donate their banknotes to MSF online or at post offices. Even those who don't donate will learn about MSF and may donate in the future. The strategy aims to inspire both new and existing donors to give more regularly by creating a personal connection between the donor and MSF's lifesaving work through Britain's currency.

1602 BigO 4
Meditate to bring yourself into equilibrium and understand your emotional state. Share your emotions openly to foster understanding and intimacy without confusion. Kissing and cuddling releases oxytocin which enhances your immune system and bond. Play and laugh together to induce fun and arousal. Put yourself in your partner's perspective through empathy to comprehend where they are coming from. Use fantasy before sex to relax the mind and tune into sexual energy which gets easier with practice. Meditate to process the day and clear your mind. Switch off technology, especially before bed, to focus fully on each other through your senses rather than distractions. Pause if an argument is brewing and view it from a removed perspective to de-escalate tensions

Vulnerable plaques are prone to rupture and cause heart attacks. This document proposes criteria for defining vulnerable plaques based on histopathology and clinical factors like inflammation and thin cap. It also discusses using thermography to identify vulnerable plaques by detecting heat from macrophage inflammation. Studies in animals and humans found temperature differences in atherosclerotic arteries compared to healthy ones, and higher temperatures correlated with increased inflammation. While promising, thermography requires more validation before being used widely in patients.

Application of plant tissue culture/ micro-propagation
Tissue culture is the process of growing cells or tissues in sterile conditions. It allows for rapid cloning of plant materials. Plant tissue culture involves excising plant parts and growing them on nutrient media. This allows for mass multiplication of plant materials irrespective of season. Some key developments include Haberlandt's proposal of plant cell culture in 1902, and Murashige and Skoog's nutrient medium in 1962. Micropropagation is now used for conservation of rare species, producing disease-free plants, mutation breeding, and more. The future of this technique remains promising.
Jellyfish
Jellyfish or jellies are the major non-polyp form of individuals of the phylum Cnidaria. They are typified as free-swimming marine animals consisting of a gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles. Jellyfish have drifted along on ocean currents for millions of years, even before dinosaurs lived on the Earth. Some jellyfish are clear, but others are in vibrant colors such as pink, yellow, blue, and purple, and often are luminescent. The Chinese have fished jellyfish for 1,700 years. They are considered a delicacy and are used in Chinese medicine. Jellyfish (also known as jellies and sea jellies) are boneless animals that float freely through the world's oceans. Although jellyfish exist in our oceans worldwide they are particularly prominent in coastal areas. There are thought to be around 2,000 different species of jellyfish, the most common being the big, colorful ones found in warmer coastal areas. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, warned over-fishing in the Mediterranean was boosting jellyfish, which reduce stocks further and it called for jellyfish to be used in food, medicine and cosmetics. Jellyfish have powerful anti-aging properties that may benefit both the cosmetics and fishing industries.

WinterizingFuel
Fuel in stored equipment needs stabilization to prevent degradation over winter. Without treatment, fuel oxidizes and loses quality/combustibility over time, making engines hard to start in spring. Adding a fuel stabilizer can preserve fuel for up to two years. Star Tron fuel treatment is an enzyme stabilizer that not only preserves fuel but also improves combustibility for easy starting and full power. It works with existing fuel additives to maximize fuel quality and performance throughout storage.
WeddingWeightLoss
Nearly one-third of American adults want to lose weight for their wedding day, averaging a loss of 39 pounds. Fashion designer Pnina Tornai, who has worked with brides for 26 years, has seen many order dresses two to three sizes smaller for their wedding day. Tornai recommends eating 5-6 small meals per day, filling your plate with vegetables, staying hydrated, managing stress, and adopting long-term lifestyle changes rather than crash dieting to look and feel your best on your wedding day.
SustainableTravel
Ecotourism involves responsible travel to natural areas in a way that conserves the environment and improves local well-being. It allows travelers to experience places through activities like hiking and kayaking while leaving a small carbon footprint. Ecotourism can have significant economic benefits by educating visitors who become ambassadors, and it is a major source of revenue for many countries. International Expeditions is a travel company that specializes in handling eco-friendly adventures worldwide to locations like the Amazon, Africa, and Galapagos Islands, allowing travelers to experience the culture while supporting local communities.
SavingMoreNowIG
Millennials are saving more money than past generations according to a Fidelity Investments study. While 47% receive financial help from parents for expenses like cell phones, rent, and clothing, most Millennials have used this cushion to start saving. The study found that 62% have investment accounts and 59% have larger emergency funds averaging $9,100 than Gen Xers or Baby Boomers. Millennials may still be finding their footing as adults but are demonstrating better saving habits than previous generations.
RecycledCerealBags
This article provides three ways to make positive impacts on the world before 10 AM: 1) Be mindful of reducing waste and consumption during your morning routine through actions like shorter showers and carpooling; 2) Engage in small acts of kindness toward others to inspire community members; 3) Learn about recycling programs, such as one that recycles Malt-O-Meal cereal bags through TerraCycle to raise money for charity while preventing landfill waste. Taking many small actions each day can collectively make a difference.
MinuteRice
This document provides tips for busy families to enjoy meals together, such as getting all members involved in meal planning and preparation, holding cooking lessons, and accounting for different tastes with sample meals. It then shares a simple 15-minute chicken and rice recipe using Minute Rice that can serve as an easy weekly dinner option. The goal is for families to find time for shared meals despite hectic schedules.
Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise has more uses than just a sandwich spread. It contains healthy oils that provide omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. These nutrients can help reduce blood pressure and improve heart health. Beyond sandwiches, mayonnaise can be used for baking, grilling, making cold salads and sauces, and spicing up sandwiches with fresh herbs.
KidsBoneHealth
Many children today are not getting enough daily exercise and nutrients needed to build strong bones. Approximately 32% of American children are overweight or obese due to increased technology use and less outdoor play. The AAOS recommends that parents ensure children get at least 30-60 minutes of physical activity per day, eat a diet high in calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C, and do strength training exercises to help build stronger bones and reduce obesity and osteoporosis risks later in life.
KatyPerryIG
Katy Perry and Staples have donated $1 million to support classrooms as teachers often spend hundreds of their own money on school supplies each year. They encourage people to donate themselves at Staplesforstudents.com to further help teachers and students. Katy Perry and Staples are teaming up to provide financial support for classrooms.
InnerEngineering
The document discusses improving sleep quality and overall health. It states that many people struggle with insomnia and other sleep disorders. It then introduces the Inner Engineering program, which features meditation techniques like Shambhavi Kriya. Research on Shambhavi Kriya shows it can significantly improve sleep quality - participants fell asleep faster, had more restful REM sleep, and symptoms of insomnia decreased. The program aims to not only enhance sleep but also reduce stress and promote feelings of rest throughout the day, leading to benefits like improved immune function and mental well-being.
HumanaTelemedicine
Telemedicine allows patients to access healthcare providers remotely through mobile apps or online video calls, providing convenience and potentially lowering costs compared to in-person visits. It is being offered more through health insurance plans to treat minor illnesses and connect with doctors without needing to visit urgent care. While not replacing regular doctors, telemedicine gives patients access to care anywhere by connecting with licensed providers in under 5 minutes on average. It is a good option for non-emergency issues like colds or headaches.
EducationalGifts
This document discusses giving children experiential gifts for the holidays that encourage learning new skills instead of toys. It suggests that experiences help children's education by allowing them to apply skills learned in school. The vice president of Education at Sylvan Learning encourages giving gifts like cooking classes, STEM classes through Sylvan, music lessons, or sports classes. These types of classes teach useful skills while incorporating math, science, problem solving and more. They are described as gifts that are special for both the child and entire family.
CrizalforKids
80% of a child's learning is visual, yet 35% of children have never seen an eye doctor. It is important to get yearly eye exams for children and equip them with glasses if needed. Children's lenses get dirty, scratched, and strained from glare easily. Essilor's Crizal for Kids lenses are smudge-resistant, anti-glare, durable, and offer unlimited replacements to help children see better at school. They also provide strong UV protection, as children spend more time outside exposed to the sun's UV rays compared to adults. This helps reduce risks of permanent eye damage from UV and blue light from digital devices.
CancerInsurance
This document discusses health insurance options for childhood cancer survivors. It notes that having health insurance is critical for cancer survivors to ensure continuous coverage and avoid being denied for pre-existing conditions. It provides several options for health insurance, including staying on a parent's plan until age 26, employer-provided insurance, group insurance through organizations, state/federal programs like Medicaid, prescription drug discount programs, individual policies, and learning more at beyondthecure.org. The key message is that childhood cancer survivors should fully understand their health insurance rights and responsibilities to maintain dependable coverage.
ByeDeskPhone
A survey by communications company Dialpad found that the traditional desk phone is becoming obsolete as more employees work remotely. The survey found that 80% of companies rely on remote workers and 67% allow employees to work from home. As remote and flexible work increases, the need for desk phones is decreasing. Dialpad offers cloud-based phone, video, and messaging services to replace desk phones and allow communication from any location. They predict that desk phones will disappear completely from offices within 3 years as remote work continues to grow.
BringParks2You
Most Americans agree that spending time outdoors can improve both physical and mental health by reducing stress, benefiting mental well-being, and leading to a longer, healthier life. However, many Americans spend over 90% of their time indoors due to work and other obligations. A recent survey found that activities like watching sunrises, bringing nature into the workplace, visiting national park museums, eating meals outside, gardening, and hiking can help increase levels of nature engagement and connect people with the mental and physical health benefits of the natural world.
AspenGetsIt
Aspen Dental has launched a campaign called "What would it take to get you to go to the dentist?" to address barriers that prevent Americans from visiting the dentist regularly. As part of the campaign, NASCAR driver Tony Stewart and fellow driver Danica Patrick surprised race fans at Talladega Superspeedway by fulfilling some of their wishes of things that would motivate them to go to the dentist, such as gifts of a car, boat, or helicopter ride directly to the dentist office. The campaign aims to show that Aspen Dental understands barriers patients face and is willing to make dentistry easier to improve dental health.
AntiBackFlow
Dentists have become more focused on infection control over the decades, employing stricter methods like routine glove, mask, and gown use. However, backflow from saliva evacuation systems poses a cross-contamination risk by potentially allowing fluid from previous patients to enter the current patient's mouth. A new disposable valve called the DOVE Backflow Prevention Valve addresses this issue by only allowing one-way suction flow to prevent backflow, providing a new level of safety. Dentists can easily attach and discard the valves between patients in seconds rather than spending over 10 minutes sterilizing traditional metal valves.
AneurysmAwareness
Lisa Colagrossi, a journalist, died suddenly from a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2015. Her husband Todd Crawford created The Lisa Colagrossi Foundation to increase awareness of brain aneurysms after realizing how little was known about the condition and its symptoms. The Foundation has since helped save lives by educating people about risk factors for brain aneurysms like high blood pressure, smoking, and family history, as well as common warning signs like the worst headache of a person's life. Their goal is to help more people recognize the signs of brain aneurysms so treatment can be sought to prevent further rupturing.
AgeWithOptimism
A new Humana survey found that optimism seems to be key for mental and physical health in aging Americans over 60. The survey found that those who rated themselves as very optimistic about aging tended to be the most physically and socially active, and reported fewer physically unhealthy days. They also felt younger than their actual age. However, a separate study by Humana and USC found that media portrayals of those over 60 are often inaccurate and ageist, with characters facing demeaning references to their age. These negative perceptions from a lack of representation and ageist media portrayals may negatively impact the health of aging Americans by dampening optimism.
