The "one year off therapy anniversary" is a significant time for many families. Blood counts and immune system have recovered, and hair has returned if it is going to. Children usually have more energy and may be experiencing "catch up" growth. For many children, there is no longer any physical evidence of cancer treatment, but for others the lasting effects of cancer treatment may now be apparent.
The focus of clinic visits during the second year after treatment ends will be slightly different. The intervals between visits lengthen. The healthcare team will continue to monitor your child for any signs of the cancer coming back. Blood counts will be checked, and children treated for solid tumors will continue having scans to confirm remission. The healthcare team will also concentrate on restoring your child to a state of good health. Talk with your healthcare provider about your child's specific follow-up plan. After 2 to 5 years, your child's care may be transitioned to a long-term follow-up clinic.
As your child grows up, the amount of information he or she needs about his or her illness and its treatment increases. Often, children were too young to remember much about the treatment period. It can be tempting to try to protect your child by not sharing more information about the illness. Open communication between you and your child allows your child to understand why he or she still needs to come to clinic for appointments even when they are well.
School difficulties may not appear for years after treatment is completed. Any academic difficulties should be discussed with the healthcare provider, healthcare team, school psychologist or reintegration specialist, and your child's school.
Treatment to control or prevent spread of cancer to the brain and/or spinal cord may affect memory and learning abilities. If your child received this type of treatment, let the teacher, principal and school counselor know. Some parents and teachers report that children who received therapy to the central nervous system may have difficulty concentrating. The brain is a very complex structure that continues to grow and develop throughout childhood, adolescence and young adulthood. Neuropsychological testing may help identify learning strengths and weaknesses and help the school give your child the extra help and support to reach his or her full educational potential. While school psychologists are experts at evaluation of children with learning challenges, they rarely see children who have been treated for cancers. If your child is having difficulties academically after treatment ends, we encourage an evaluation by a psychologist with experience working with children who have cancer.
The following can sometimes increase the risk of educational problems:
The effects of children's cancer and treatment on appetite and physical activity are different for each child. The aim is to help your child stay healthy and to perform well in school, play or at work. Most children will begin to gain weight once treatment is ended, and as a parent, this will be very reassuring. However, some children may gain weight at an unhealthy rate while others may have trouble gaining weight at all. If your child experiences any weight or nutritional issues please discuss this with your healthcare team. Meeting with a dietician may also be helpful. A healthy diet and physical activity have many benefits for children who have had treatment for cancer including:
It is important to combine healthy eating with physical activity. In general, a healthy lifestyle includes not smoking; eating a low fat, high fiber diet; exercising regularly and avoiding excessive alcohol intake.
Children and teens should be encouraged to fit some outdoor physical activity into their daily routine. Remember to protect children from sunburn when the skin is exposed to the sun even on cloudy or hazy days.
For children who have received a stem cell transplant, some parts of recovery will be different. This is because after a stem cell transplant, it can take longer for full immunity to return. This time period is different for each child and will depend on:
Children who have total body irradiation as part of the preparation for their bone marrow transplant may have side effects that do not become evident until treatment ends. Because of the intensity of this treatment and the longer recovery period, your child may continue to be cared for by the transplant team for quite some time. His or her healthcare team will be able to tell you when it is safe for your child to return to normal activities, and will also let you know when your child may go back to his or her primary oncologist or to a long-term follow-up clinic for care.
The length of follow-up depends on the treatment received and any lasting effects your child has experienced. The Children's Oncology Group recommends monitoring childhood cancer survivors into adulthood. Recommendations for follow-up are based upon the most current medical knowledge available and are likely to change over time. Testing may include blood work or scans. Your healthcare provider will talk with you about the testing and follow-up your child will need.
The process of moving from one situation or place to another is called "'transition." In children's cancer, transition means moving from the pediatric oncology team that cared for your child during treatment to a long-term follow-up clinic or primary care provider who will care for him or her as a survivor of childhood cancer.
Long-term follow-up care varies in each cancer center. At some centers, this may mean moving to a different health care provider or a different clinic or hospital when off treatment for 2 years to 5 years after diagnosis. Other cancer centers continue to provide care for patients indefinitely. Still others have clinics especially for adult survivors of children's cancer. Your healthcare provider will discuss any transition your child may have in the future, and help to ensure that any transitions go as smoothly as possible.
You and your healthcare provider can help your child get ready for a transition by:

Week 5 NFL Game Recaps
Rams 17, Cardinals 3
Kolb was sacked NINE times Thursday night. He was hurried on 21 occasions. The tackles were exposed, particularly by Robert Quinn, who generated three sacks and a forced fumble. Kolb has now been sacked 17 times in a span of five days, so you have to wonder how in the world he's going to survive this season. Unless the Arizona coaching staff fixes something in a hurry, the fragile Kolb will be knocked out of the lineup with an injury.
Kolb finished 28-of-50 for 289 yards. Those look like decent stats, but he was awful. Yes, he was constantly under siege, but he nearly tossed several interceptions - Janoris Jenkins dropped two - and he also left way too many points off the scoreboard. He had Larry Fitzgerald wide open for a touchdown in the first quarter but didn't look his way. Later, he misfired toward an open Andre Roberts for another potential score. There were a couple of other instances like this, including one in the second quarter when Kolb overthrew Fitzgerald in the end zone. Being a Fitzgerald fantasy owner, this was very frustrating.
So, how did Kolb pile up 289 yards? Well, most of it was meaningless in fourth-quarter garbage time. The Rams let Kolb have short stuff late in the game but clamped down on him near their goal line. In fact, Arizona came away with just a field goal in three trips inside the red zone. They turned the ball over on downs on both other occasions, including one instance when Fitzgerald mistakenly ran a route short of the goal line.
Amendola's absence capsized the Rams' passing offense. Sam Bradford started 5-of-7 for 81 yards and a touchdown, but closed out the game 2-of-14 for 60 yards, one score and an interception. One of his final two completions was a 51-yard bomb to Chris Givens, but he couldn't get anything going aerially otherwise. We all saw what happened to St. Louis' offense when Amendola was out last year, so expect the Rams to struggle more than usual while Bradford's No. 1 weapon is out.
Amendola caught one pass for 44 yards when he was in the lineup. He beat Patrick Peterson, who committed a pass-interference penalty in addition to surrendering the long gain. Peterson would later make up for it with one of the prettiest, toe-tapping interceptions in the end zone that you'll see all year. Amendola, meanwhile, dropped two passes and ran the wrong route on another play before leaving the game.
Colts 30, Packers 27
Well, everyone was wrong. Sort of, but I'll get to that later. The Colts won for their head coach. Reggie Wayne, the only person to visit the quarantined Pagano, had the game of his life, catching 13 balls for 212 yards and a touchdown. Wayne, who has known Pagano the longest - Pagano recruited him to Miami - made sure his team won for his coach, telling Pagano that he would be back next week with the game ball. Wayne made several incredible plays, including an amazing, one-handed divinggrab.
Ravens 9, Chiefs 6
Here were the terrible mistakes:
- Cyrus Gray fumbled the ball in Baltimore territory in the first quarter. I jotted down, "Why the f*** is Gray carrying the ball?" in my notes, but Gray would play well in the second half (4 carries, 20 yards).
- Matt Cassel (9-of-15, 92 yards) fumbled a snap at the 1-yard line. He also threw two picks, but neither was his fault. The first tipped off Dwayne Bowe's hands and into Lardarius Webb's. The second bounced off Bowe's chest and into Cary Williams' arms.
- Bowe also committed an offensive pass interference penalty that wiped out a 25-yard gain in the fourth quarter. Bowe, who only collects his yardage in garbage time, will be appearing in my next overrated players list. He had six catches for 60 yards in this game.
- Bowe found the end zone on one instance, but that was negated by another offensive pass interference.
- Flacco fumbled the ball late in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs recovered it and scored a touchdown. Except it never happened because the officials blew the play dead. Yeah, this isn't a Kansas City mistake, but it was amusing watching an ultra-nice Romeo Crennel refrain from lashing out at the refs in his post-game press conference.
Cassel was replaced by Brady Quinn, who completed all three of his passes for 32 yards. Quinn looked confident and may be named the team's starter going forward. The coaching staff showed no confidence in Cassel anyway, opting to run a draw play on a 3rd-and-8 in Baltimore territory in the opening quarter.
Dolphins 17, Bengals 13
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
An early Miami turnover set up the Bengals to take an early lead. A punt bounced off a Dolphins back and was recovered by Vontaze Burfict, which led to a Mike Nugent field goal.
Miami later fumbled the ball away when Nate Clements popped Jorvorski Lane. Cincinnati went for a fourth-and-2 on its ensuing drive, and Dalton converted with a 20-yard toss to Jermaine Gresham to set up three more.
Dalton had an ugly performance. He had a number of passes off the mark and made the Dolphins' defense look like one of the league's better stop units. The signal-caller pulled a Mark Sanchez and threw an interception to Miami defensive tackle Randy Starks. It was a great play by Starks to make a leaping catch. The Dolphins scored a short touchdown off of that with Reggie Bush (19-48).
Andrew Hawkins (5-47) made a highlight-reel, leaping, one-handed 24-yard catch in the middle of the field, but Nugent missed a 41-yard field goal with three minutes remaining. The game ended after Dalton tried to fit a pass into a tight window, but the ball was overthrown and fell to safety Reshad Jones for a pick. Dalton was 26-of-43 for 234 yards with a touchdown to A.J. Green (9-65) and two picks.
Both the Dolphins and the Bengals played good defensive football. Miami got good games from Cameron Wake (1.5 sacks), Starks (one sack, one pick) and Paul Soliai (.5 sacks). Cincinnati had good days from Reggie Nelson (10 tackles), Micheal Johnson (one sack) and Geno Atkins (one sack). Atkins and Domata Peko abused Dolphins guard John Jerry. He stinks and Miami could use two new guards to go along with some wide outs.
Giants 41, Browns 27
If that wasn't bad enough, Joshua Cribbs fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Wasting no time, Eli Manning hit Victor Cruz for a quick touchdown to take a seven-point lead. The Browns got the ball back but failed to run the clock out. They punted to the Giants, who then were the recipients of a bogus, long pass interference penalty on an uncatchable ball. Lawrence Tynes hit a 40-yard field goal, giving New York a 10-point advantage.
In other words, the Browns could have led 24-10 at intermission, but trailed 27-17 instead. Game, set, match.
Steelers 16, Eagles 14
For the Eagles, it was more of the same. QB Dog Killer took a hiatus from turning the ball over last week but was able to pick up where he left off in a loss to the Cardinals the prior Sunday. QBDK fumbled three times, including once at the goal line. He went 20-of-30 for 175 yards and two touchdowns, looking pretty sharp in the second half. Of course, it helped his cause that the Steelers lost two key defenders to injury prior to intermission. Troy Polamalu aggravated his calf injury, while LaMarr Woodley left with a hamstring. This completely ruined Pittsburgh's game plan, almost ruining a tremendous effort by Lawrence Timmons, who had a monstrous performance.
The Steelers, meanwhile, made several dumb errors. Maurkice Pouncey inexplicably botched two snaps, including one on a 4th-and-10 try. Receivers Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown committed illegal procedure penalties. The defense, perhaps feeling the frustration of being shorthanded, were flagged for dual personal foul penalties during one of Philadelphia's two touchdown drives. One of the penalties would have almost certainly forced a punt because the Eagles would have been stuck with a third-and-long.
Philadelphia's other scoring drive was amusing. The Eagles had a 4th-and-1 deep in their own territory at the beginning of the final quarter. Andy Reid inexplicably sent his players out to go for it. He then decided to challenge the prior play. As always when coaches attempt to review a spot, Reid was denied, costing him a precious timeout. Reid still decided to go for it, despite the pleas of Troy Aikman, and barely converted. Later on the drive, Reid asked for yet another useless timeout and went for it again on a 4th-and-1. Philadelphia somehow scored a touchdown out of this, but in typical Reid fashion, the team didn't have any stoppages at the end of the game to prevent the Steelers from running the clock out and kicking the decisive field goal.
Falcons 24, Redskins 17
Kirk Cousins took the field in the wake of Griffin's absence. If you watch SportsCenter, you'll see him hook up with Santana Moss on a 77-yard touchdown, but he was pretty terrible otherwise. Forget that one throw, and Cousins went 4-of-8 for 34 yards. I don't want to take everything away that long strike, but that was all Moss, who was wide open.
Mike Shanahan spent a fourth-round pick on Cousins for some strange reason, so much more was expected out of the Michigan State product, even though it was his debut. The fact remains that the Redskins, who could have possibly won this game with Griffin, had no chance with the other rookie at the helm. Griffin, by the way, went 10-of-15 for 91 passing yards and just seven rushing yards. He barely had any time to throw.
Seahawks 16, Panthers 12
Seattle outgained Carolina, 310-190. It won the time of possession by 12 minutes. If the Seahawks hadn't squandered opportunities in the red zone, and if Russell Wilson hadn't tossed a very ugly pick-six, they would have been victorious by double digits.
Bears 41, Jaguars 3
The Bears were very sloppy prior to intermission. It seemed like they false started a billion times. Jay Cutler threw an interception following a low snap. The players as a whole looked sluggish, but whatever Lovie Smith did at halftime apparently worked because both the offense and defense clicked after the break.
Vikings 30, Titans 7
Matt Hasselbeck was awful. No, he was worse than awful. The Titans could have pulled a drunken, fat slob fan out of the stands and gotten equal production. Hasselbeck was inaccurate unless he was checking down, which he did far too often. He also made poor decisions; he tossed a terrible interception, inexplicably on a 3rd-and-19 when it was just 7-0 Vikings in the second quarter.
Hasselbeck went 26-of-43 for 200 yards, one touchdown and that aforementioned pick, but a big chunk of his yardage and the sole score came in garbage time when the Vikings stopped trying. In fact, Tennessee didn't even cross the Minnesota 47-yard line until midway through the fourth quarter. It was so pathetic, words can't even describe it.
Patriots 31, Broncos 21
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Brady was firing bullets through the Broncos secondary early on with Wes Welker being his go-to receiver. So much for Welker (13-104) getting phased out by the Patriots; he had nine catches in the first half and helped build New England's lead with a short touchdown catch. Brady finished 23-of-31 for 223 yards, that score, a rushing touchdown and zero interceptions.
The Broncos had no answer for Ridley, and he ripped up Denver's defense on runs to the outside and inside. Ridley (28-151) was having a flawless day until he fumbled the ball away with five minutes left on the clock. Von Miller ripped the ball out. Miller had a great game with a couple of sacks as well.
49ers 45, Bills 3
It's true. The 49ers made several mistakes early on. They were at the Buffalo 1-yard line in the first quarter, but couldn't get into the end zone. They later had a 41-yard pass to Michael Crabtree wiped out by a chop block. Colin Kaepernick then lost a fumble in the red zone. This game, consequently, was tied at three in the middle of the second quarter when it could have been even worse for Buffalo.
The Bills, meanwhile, made plenty of errors of their own. They had a kickoff return touchdown wiped out by a holding penalty. Scott Chandler would then lose a fumble in the second quarter, which immediately led to an Alex Smith touchdown to Michael Crabtree. That turnover really got the 49ers going.
Saints 31, Chargers 24
Brees endured some rough spots in this game despite the fact that he went 29-of-45 for 370 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. He too frequently threw behind his receivers; he was guilty of his sole pick on one such occasion. The problem was two-fold. First, his offensive line once again struggled to pass protect, surrendering three sacks, which is a ton for a quarterback who releases the ball as quickly as Brees. Second, Jimmy Graham suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter. He returned to the game but was clearly hobbled. He couldn't get open and only served as a decoy.
Ultimately though, it didn't matter because Rivers was strip-sacked in Saints' territory. Martez Wilson easily got around laboring left tackle Jared Gaither, who couldn't move because his back apparently flared up.

Super Bowl Blitz: Football-Related Activities for Fans of All Ages
Whether you're a football fanatic or a pigskin novice, you can make the most of the upcoming Super Bowl frenzy. Get the attention of every boy -- and girl -- in your classroom with these terrific football-themed lessons. Social studies/art -- design a ticket. Show your students a sample ticket to The Super Bowl. Talk about how this ticket reflects the location of the game in 1980 -- Southern California (Pasadena). Challenge students to use books and/or the Internet to learn more about this year's location; they should use what they learn to design a ticket that reflects the location. Or create a ticket that would represent your city/state if the Super Bowl was to come to town. Geography -- plot Super Bowl cities. As a geography activity, have students locate and mark on a map all of the Super Bowl locations from Super Bowl History. Students can use this map of the U.S. to plot the locations of the cities. Have some cities hosted more than one Super Bowl game? As an extension activity, you might have students plot the locations of the winning teams for each Super Bowl. Students will be able to use these maps to visually identify the cities/teams that have won multiple games. Math -- planning a Super Bowl trip. Tickets for the Super Bowl are hard to come by, but if you have big bucks you can still get them through one of the ticket resellers such as Stub Hub or TicketMaster. Challenge students to find the best game ticket available and then use travel Web sites to plan their trip to this year's Super Bowl. They will need to book a round-trip airline fare and two nights in a hotel. Which students will use their searching and math skills to find the best deal for what will be a very expensive trip? Language arts -- identifying team names and logos. Send your students on a hunt to identify the logos of the pro football teams! Display the National Football League Team Logos. Challenge students to use color, mascot images, and other clues to match each logo to a team name. Have the students make as many matches as they can identify and then use search engines or the NFL Web site to track down the identity of the logos they do not know. Increase the level of difficulty in this activity by having students name the quarterback of each team, or make it more "educational" by having them name three facts about each of the home cities of the football teams. Geography -- identifying team locations. Have students place the National Football League team logos on a large U.S. map. (Alternate idea: Have students paste them on this U.S. Outline Map.) The resulting map should look something like this map. As an extension activity, you might arrange students into small groups; let each group take the ball and run with it by reapportioning the NFL conferences. When they have completed that task, instruct them to subdivide the teams as equitably as possible into six regional conferences of their choice and to be prepared to explain their rationale. Use this "Super Bowl" bulletin board idea to improve student performance in a variety of ways. Math -- graph Super Bowl teams. Your students can turn this list of Super Bowl Winners into a graph that shows each team and how many times it has won. (Students might use the free online Create a Graph tool to build their graphs.) You can simplify this activity by having them graph only the teams that have won on more than one occasion. To expand this activity, have your students also graph the number of losses each team has had, or the number of losses of the teams that have been defeated more than once. A comparison of the graphs will reveal some connections. Using the two graphs, your students can identify the teams that have had the most Super Bowl appearances and even graph that information. It's graphing upon graphing from the gridiron. Language arts - media literacy. Each year, the Super Bowl game gets almost as much press attention for its TV commercials as for the game results. Advertisers pay millions of dollars for the opportunity to advertise on the Super Bowl game because they know they will have a captive audience of millions of viewers. Over time, some very memorable ads have appeared on the Super Bowl. Preview and choose a handful of the most popular Super Bowl ads of all time to share with students. [Warning: Carefully select ads examples; some banned ads also appear on this site.] Have students vote for their favorites and explain why they made their selections. You might have students write a paragraph in which they support their choice. In addition, it might be fun to discuss which commericial made the "most effective" use of its advertising time; in other words, which advertiser got its money's worth? "Souper Bowl" Community Service Project Each year, the Souper Bowl of Caring involves students as they collect millions of pounds of food to benefit local organizations. Dont miss this opportunity for your school to connect with the community during Super Bowl week. Read more in this Education World article: Souper Bowl Connects Kids to Their Communities. Language arts -- the best play of all time. While your non-football fans are doing one of the above activities, you might set your hardcore football fanatics off in a different direction. The Fox Sports broadcast team has identified five "Signature Moments in Super Bowl History": SuperBowl XI: Willie Brown returns interception 75 yards for TD to clinch Raiders' win SB XVIII: Marcus Allen reverses field for 74-yard TD run against Redskins in SB XVIII SB III: "Broadway" Joe Namath runs off the field pointing finger to sky after making his "guarantee" of victory come true SB XXIII: Before directing Super Bowl-winning drive, Joe Montana informs teammates in huddle to check out John Candy in stands (tie) Lynn Swann's bobbling catch and sideline catch in Super Bowl X, and his catch in back of end zone in Super Bowl XIII Students can view those moments on the NFL Web site. Go to Top Ten Super Bowl Plays. Once students have reviewed the signature moments, have them write a brief essay that tells which of the five plays they choose as the "best of all." In their essays, they must provide a solid explanation/support of their choice. Math -- creating a chart. How do the two teams in this year's Super Bowl look on paper? Review the rosters of the two teams on the NFL Teams Web page. Students might work in groups to determine what can be learned about a team from its roster. Some possible questions might include. How many quarterbacks are on the team? Which player weighs the most? Which player weighs the least? Who is the tallest player? Who is the shortest player? Who has the most experience? (0 indicates a "rookie" player) How many rookies are on the team? Who is the oldest player on the team? What is the average age of players on the team? How many injured players are on the team? Who is the kicker on the team? Who punts for the team? Once students have determined their questions, they will want to create a chart that compares the answers to those questions for each of the competing teams. Is how a team "looks on paper" an indicator of just how good they will be on the field? Language arts -- alphabetical order. Looking for an interesting way for your students to practice their alphabetizing skills? The Pro Football Hall of Fame can help! Click the Hall of Famers tab and provide a list of players for students to alphabetize by last name. You might extend the activity by asking students to research a few of the players on the list and to provide three facts they learned about each player. History -- Super Bowl trivia. Your students can match wits with the computer and exercise their searching skills when they take on these Super Bowl trivia quizzes: Super Bowl Trivia Quiz 1 Super Bowl Trivia Quiz 2 You might even challenge students to create their own trivia quiz based on this year's game or on Super Bowl history. Language arts -- using a football glossary. In Championship Game Headlines, students help restaurant review writer Peter Pickieater find the right football terms to use in his article on the conference championship games with the aid of an online football glossary. ANSWERS: Atlanta Falcons Defeat Minnesota Vikings in NFC Championship Game: Quarterback, field goal, goalpost, touchdown, turnover, Astroturf, coach, special teams Denver Broncos Going to the (Super Bowl): Super Bowl, home field advantage, rushed, sack, line of scrimmage, blitz, bomb, end zone RELATED ARTICLES FROM EDUCATION WORLD Sports Math Scores Points with Students AND Teachers Article by Cara Bafile, Gary Hopkins Education World® Copyright © 2010 Education World Last updated 1/08/2015

Home > Teacher Lesson Plans > Arts and Humanities > Lesson Plan L E S S O N P L A N Reading Without Seeing: Louis Braille and the Braille Alphabet Subject: Special Education, History, Our Bodies Grade: 3-5, 6-8, 9-12
Brief Description In this lesson, students explore the Braille alphabet and the contributions Louis Braille made to society. Objectives Students learn about Louis Braille and the Braille alphabet and explore some of the challenges people with impaired vision might face. Keywords Louis Braille, Braille alphabet, blindness, disabilities, senses Materials Needed computers with Internet access, Braille History, overhead projector or chalkboard, small paper bags, alphabet blocks, alphabet ink stamps, The Braille Alphabet, paper punch, construction paper, glue sticks, index cards, student journals Lesson Plan Begin by sharing a bit of background information on Louis Braille at the Braille History site. Discuss with students what having impaired vision might be like. Record students' thoughts on an overhead projector or a chalkboard. Distribute a few alphabet blocks in a bag, and ask students to identify each letter by feeling it. Discuss the results. Was the method successful? Why or why not? Place several alphabet ink stamps that spell a word into small bags. Arrange students into groups, and give each group a bag. Have students reach into the bag, feel the stamps, record the letters they feel, and determine the word. When everyone has had a turn, take the stamps out so students can see whether their sense of touch provided the correct answers. Discuss the results. Was the method successful? Why or why not? Invite students to study The Braille Alphabet. Print a copy of the alphabet for each student. Have each student punch dots from construction paper and glue them to an index card to create a Braille version of his or her name. Place the cards in a box, and ask students to take turns pulling one out and "reading" the name. After students have completed the activities, ask them to record their experiences in their journals. Encourage them to include their thoughts about both their frustrations and their successes. Encourage students to share the activities with their parents or other family members. Assessment Evaluate students by observing the activities and discussions, reading their journal entries, and getting feedback from parents.

The Flu in Context: Epidemics, Vaccines and Prevention Subjects
Science Health Grade 5-12 Brief Description Students learn about epidemics and pandemics, as well as vaccines and other precautions that can help prevent infections such as influenza. Objectives Students will: Explore epidemics and pandemics View the modern influenza virus in historical context Describe how vaccines work Identify actions that can help prevent the spread of infection Keywords Flu, influenza, bacteria, virus, infection, disease, vaccine, immune, epidemic, pandemic, Black Death, smallpox, AIDS Materials Needed Computer(s) with Internet access, if desired Paper and pencils (if teachers want Student Understanding questions completed in written form, rather than orally) Lesson Plan At certain points in history, many people have become infected with a particular illness. For example, the Black Death ravaged Europe from the year 1347 to the early 1350s, killing almost one-third of the continent's population. When a large number of people become seriously ill due to the same bacteria or virus, it is called an epidemic—or, if the disease spreads globally, a pandemic. Help students put modern influenza outbreaks into perspective by comparing them with other epidemics and pandemics. Then, discuss how vaccines and other precautions work to reduce the likelihood of illness. Begin with some basic terms and explanation: 1. Bacteria and viruses Bacteria are microscopic one-celled organisms. Thousands of types of bacteria live almost everywhere. Bacteria can reproduce themselves (multiply). Some bacteria are helpful, while others can make us sick.Viruses, another major cause of illness, are smaller than bacteria and may have a spiny outside layer. Viruses can't reproduce on their own, so they infect cells and take them over in order to multiply. Here is a basic exploration of the concepts of bacteria and viruses. Older students can check out a detailed example using this image of the flu virus. Check Student Understanding: What are bacteria? What are viruses? What are some differences between bacteria and viruses? Describe some of the flu virus' internal structures. 2. Epidemic vs. pandemic While disease has affected humans since the beginning of time, it wasn't until people began gathering in larger populations that infections began to reach epidemic levels. An epidemic happens when an infection (caused by a bacteria or virus) affects a large number of people within a given population, such as a city or geographic area. If it affects even greater numbers and a wider area, these outbreaks become pandemics. The video below discusses how pandemics spread: Older students can read more detailed information on pandemics, including what causes pandemics, the stages by which pandemics develop and a list of pandemics throughout history. Here are some notable ones: 1300s - The Black Death Brought to Europe from the Far East via infected fleas that were riding on the backs of ship rats, the Black Death (also known as the Bubonic Plague) would go on to wipe out over 20 million people. That figure represents one-third of the population. Fear gripped the continent as people began falling victim to the disease in increasing numbers. People did not understand how the disease was spread or how to treat it. To make matters worse, the gruesome nature of the illness added to the hysteria—the infected displayed the disease's trademark black boils, which oozed blood and pus. Symptoms: Chills, fever, vomiting, aches and pains, along with hard, painful, burning lumps on the body that turn black, split open and ooze pus and blood.Caused by: Yersinia pestis bacteriaDoes it still exist? There are 1,000 to 3,000 cases worldwide each year, including 10 to 15 cases in the United States. Due to improved sanitation, the disease is not likely to spread the way it did in the 1300s. The Bubonic Plague is now treatable with antibiotics, and a vaccine is also available. Ancient time through 1970s – Smallpox An astounding 300 million deaths were attributed to smallpox outbreaks during the 20th century alone. That figure certainly would have been greater were it not for the revolutionary work of a physician named Edward Jenner. Jenner realized that people who had already contracted cow pox did not contract smallpox. In 1796, he injected cow pox into an eight-year-old boy to test his theory. When the boy was proven to have been successfully inoculated, Jenner had created the world's first vaccine. After successful vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, in 1979 the World Health Organization certified that smallpox had been eliminated. Also see EducationWorld's Internet Scavenger Hunt on the smallpox vaccine. Symptoms: Fever, fatigue, aches and pains, along with red lesions (sores) that become filled with pus, then crust and scab.Caused by: The variola virusDoes it still exist? Due to the success of vaccination campaigns, the disease was wiped out. 1918-1919 – Spanish (Avian) Flu It may be hard to believe, but the flu killed nearly 40 million people at one point in history. In that 12-month period, more people succumbed to the flu than lost their lives in World War I, leading many to consider it the most devastating pandemics in all of recorded history. Symptoms: Fever, nausea, aches, diarrhea and sometimes severe pneumonia. Victims show dark spots on the cheeks and turn blue, suffocating as their lungs fill with a frothy, bloody substance.Caused by: A virus in the H1N1 familyDoes it still exist? Different forms of the virus still exist, but scientists are not worried that this particular version will make a comeback. 1980s to today - AIDS (NOTE: This topic recommended for grades 9 and up.) By the end of 2004, 20 million people had died from HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Aquired Immunodeficiency Virus (AIDS). Nine out of 10 people living with HIV live in the developing world; 60 to 70 percent of those are in Sub-Saharan Africa. But the disease is spreading in every region, including India, China, Russia and the islands of the Caribbean. Since the epidemic began, an estimated 1,129,127 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with AIDS, and an estimated 48,000 Americans become infected with HIV each year. Symptoms: Possible flulike symptoms at the time of HIV infection, and after 5 to 15 years left untreated (at which point the person develops AIDS), multiple, life-threatening illnesses such as rare cancers, pneumonia, fungal conditions, tuberculosis and other infections.Caused by: Human Immunodeficiency Virus, a retrovirus that attacks the cells of the immune systemDoes it still exist? Due to increased awareness, prevention efforts and treatment options, the U.S. incidence of AIDS is lower than that in some other countries. HIV/AIDS does, however, remain a top public health concern, and the disease is of particular concern on a global scale. Check Student Understanding: What's the difference between an epidemic and a pandemic? Name a pandemic from history. What caused (causes) it, and what are its symptoms? What medical knowledge and science do we have now (that we didn't have at the time when these pandemics began) that can help prevent these serious diseases? 3. The immune system and vaccines The human immune system uses white blood cells to defend the body from harmful "intruders"—viruses and bacteria, also known as antigens. The white blood cells make antibodies specific to each intruder. The antibodies destroy the intruders or help white blood cells destroy them. Get a basic rundown of the immune system here. Vaccines, special medicines developed to fight specific bacteria or viruses, help the body produce antibodies to attack dangerous intruders. A vaccine contains a dead or weakened version of an antigen. Because the germ has been killed or weakened before it is used to make the vaccine, it doesn't make the person sick. Instead, the body reacts to the vaccine by making antibodies. Basic information about vaccines appears here. Using this timeline, older students can explore the history of vaccine development and learn how vaccines were used to eliminate the disease smallpox. Check Student Understanding: How does the human immune system work? Define the following: white blood cells, antigens, antibodies, vaccines How do vaccines work? (For older students) How did Dr. Edward Jenner discover the smallpox vaccine? What happened as a result? (Also see EducationWorld's Internet Scavenger Hunt on the smallpox vaccine.) 4. The flu (influenza) The flu (influenza) virus has been around a long time and appears in some form every year, although the severity of the outbreak and the particular "strain" (type of virus) varies. In 1918-1919, a severe pandemic killed millions, while in more recent history, the flu has sickened many, but resulted in vastly fewer deaths. Cover the basics of this infectious virus using this Flu Facts resource and this case study. Kids may be seeing a lot of scary coverage of the flu in the news. To help put things in perspective, this article compares the 2013 flu epidemic (more severe than the previous year's) with the 1918 pandemic, while this article downplays some of the "hysteria" about the 2013 flu. NOTE: Use this lesson plan in future years by accessing information on the current year's flu from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Fighting the flu Two ways of fighting the flu include vaccines and health precautions. In 1945, the first effective flu vaccine was available, although it didn't work perfectly. Today's flu vaccines work about 60-70% of the time, meaning that some people who get the vaccine will still get the flu. They may, however, have less severe symptoms than people who didn't get the vaccine. Since flu viruses can change over time, scientists need to keep working to make new ones, and people need to get a new vaccine every year. Other health precautions include limiting contact with sick people, hand washing, using hand sanitizer, covering coughs and sneezes and taking antiviral medications. Older students can access information on both vaccines and health precautions on the CDC site's 2013 flu information page. In subsequent years, the information can be found on the CDC site. Use the EducationWorld lesson News for You: Kids Can Lower Their Flu Risk to build media skills and teach about prevention. Check Student Understanding: What is the flu? What causes the flu? Describe flu symptoms. How does the flu spread? How is this year's flu similar to, or different from, the flu of years past? How can the flu be prevented? Assessment Evaluate students using the 17 "Check Student Understanding" questions that appear throughout this lesson.

Wired for News
Jun 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Cynthia Wisehart
Onsite for the opening of the Newseum.
It had an AV budget that few museums can command — a healthy percentage of the project's $450 million budget, consumed by hundreds of loudspeakers and screens, 100 miles of fiber-optic cable, nearly 200 racks, and enough broadcast equipment to run a broadcast studio — two, actually. While other museums use AV to tell a story of history, nature, or man, the Newseum artifacts are made of audio and video; future artifacts will certainly be made of similar stuff. And like all things, the business plan for museums has to evolve and change, so the Newseum's AV plan was not all about history — it was also designed to be a living venue for tomorrow's news.
All this was in evidence in mid-April; the day before the doors opened to the public, Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker had broadcast their press conference from the studio at the center of the Newseum's third level (of seven). The studio, which seats a mid-sized audience, is also designed so that it can be observed in action from several floors of the museum through the glass walls.
The next day, more than 2,000 people passed through the museum doors and fanned out among the seven stories of exhibits and theaters. That night, nearly as many invited guests mingled against a backdrop of audio, video, and one of the largest and highest-resolution LED walls in the world.
Let's pause for a tip of the hat to the acoustic designer Steve Haas of SH Acoustics. The first 24 hours of operation demonstrated just how well he had done his job in a soaring, acoustically unforgiving space in thousands and thousands of square feet of glass and concrete envisioned by Polshek Partnership Architects.
Overall credit must also go to the museum's main systems integrators — Electrosonic did the systems design, integration, and installation on the AV side, including a sophisticated 80-zone PA system; Communications Engineering (CEI) served on the broadcast side (CEI also did integration for the 90ft.-long video news wall in the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Big Screen Theater). Designer Ralph Appelbaum made sophisticated use of AV in some 26 galleries/exhibit areas and 15 theaters, and the Newseum's VP of Technology Jim Updike — a former broadcast engineer — had high standards for the functionality of the systems. All together, it was one of the most extensive systems integration jobs in the world.
A cornerstone of the AV system was Peavey MediaMatrix Nion digital sound processing with a mixture of QSC and Crown amplifiers. Key video sources were Doremi Nugget HD video media players and Adtec edje encoders for SD.
Here is a sampling of the breadth of environments and some of the challenges:

Originally called the Van Doren Rubber Company, Vans Off The Wall was founded in 1966 and is one of the leading shoe companies in the skateboarding industry producing quality Vans Skate Shoes. With a history deep rooted in skateboarding, Vans was there when it all began and helped to revolutionize skateboard shoes as they are known today. Constantly pushing the envelope on innovative designs and technologies, Vans skate shoes like the Chukka Low, Era, Old Skool, Type II, Euclid, Rowley Pro and more are designed to keep feet protected and comfortable while delivering the best both form and function.
Coining the term "Off The Wall" from skateboarders in the 70's who skated off the walls of pools, Vans skateboarding shoes feature unique designs and styles that are modeled after the demands and needs of skateboarders. Many models of Vans skate shoes utilize Vans' signature waffle sole, a unique diamond pattern with vertical lines added to the ball of the foot to increase the strength and durability of the sole. The sticky gum rubber of the waffle soles and the vulcanized construction help provide better flexibility and grip which enables the skater to maintain greater control and precision during tricks. For those who prefer a cupsole construction, Vans offers models like the AV Era to provide maximum durability and protection.
Taking the innovations and designs of skate shoes further than it has gone before, Vans created the first ever vulcanized cupsole construction known as the Wafflecup. This state-of-the-art design was created to fuse together the best qualities of vulcanized soles and cupsoles to provide a versatile skate shoe that would meet the demands of any skater. The Wafflecup blends the increased support and durability that is found in a cupsole with the grip and superior board feel of a vulcanized sole.
As a brand that is all about originality, Vans is truly the first of it's kind and continues to lead the way in the design and production of modern skate shoes. Offering the best in quality and performance Vans features a huge selection of different models, styles and colors so you can find the perfect skateboarding shoe that fits your every need.

ATP #1 ranked player in the world & reigning King of Tennis Novak Djokovic will start his 2012 season next week @ Abu Dhabi
ATP #1 ranked player in the world & reigning King of Tennis Novak Djokovic will start his 2012 season next week @ Abu Dhabi
Looks like a few posts dissappeared
Here is the link 2 the old thread...a few posts were deleted but I am working on re-creating them in the new thread cuz they were good 1s
Sexy Tennis Stars
^ My fault entirely! In my defense, there WERE some pretty hot pics - my mind wandered... and I think my fingers must have followed it! Senior blond moment strikes again!
not a huge fan of the title- didn't realize it was the replacement for Sexy Tennis Stars...there are several tennis related threads- thought this was just another.....thought it was going to be named Sexy Tennis Stars 2012...???? (Like the Fakes thread- Just gets a new year each year)
he is a hottie for sure.
I thought about that but it took 4 years 'til "sexy tennis stars" reached 5000 posts & needed 2b archived...plus I thought this new title would help avoid the "he's not sexy" remarks
As for the posts that got misplaced...1 of them was a comment about Milos Raonic's ass & it just so happens that today is his 21st birthday
here's a rearview pic of the reigning ATP Newcomer of the Year along with a few other player butt shots
Milos Raonic, Tomas Berdych, Richard Gasquet, Jan Hajek & James Blake
Next up are posts about past Champions of the 3 upcoming Aussie Open warm up events...1st is Brisbane which depending on your time zone starts in just 4 days!!!
No draws posted yet but here r some pix of past winners
Tommy Haas, Andy Roddick, Michael Llodra, Nicolay Davydenko & Robin Soderling who I believe is still rehab & will not be able 2 defend that title
Next up starting a day later is Chennai...past winners from there include:
Xavier Malisse, Paradorn Srichaphan, Mikhail Youzhny, Michal Tabara & reigning champ Stan Wawrinka
The Qatar Open also starts Sunday & here a some past title holder pix from Doha
Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Wally Masur, Stefan Koubek & Fabrice Santoro
so excited for another year and fesh batch of shirtless hotties in australia!
Kei Nishikori celebrates his 22nd birthday in Brisbane today practicing with his team & Ryan Harrison...he just posted this pic on FB showing a bump in the front so we'll do a bulge post!!!
Kei Nishikori, Marinko Matosevic, Tobias Kamke, Philipp Petzschner & Tommy Haas
Wow so much going on this weekend!!!
In Perth the Hopman Cup starts with Czech team Berdych/Kvitova as the #1 seed followed by:
#2 France Gasquet/Bartoli
#3 Spain Verdasco/Garrigues
#4 USA Fish/Mattek-Sands
Here's some nice pix of Thomas Berdych
Rounding out the 8 mixed team competion are:
China Li Na/Wu Di
Denmark Wozniacki/Nielsen
Australia Gajdosova/Hewitt
Bulgaria Pironkova/Dimitrov
some nice pix of Grigor Dimitrov
Still no draws from the 3 ATP tournies yet but tomorrow is the 6 man draw @ the annual Abu Dhabi Exibition where they some how bypassed Djokovic & gave the 2 byes to Nadal & Federer so I'll give Rafael the pix on this post
I saw where Djokovic beat Monfils....not sure who else is playing there
Disgusted really that as the number one Novak didn't get the bye with Rafa. Oh and what a surprise, Novak plays Federer in the semis.
From the reported comments today Rafa is still all over the place mentally, I don't know why he and Novak are wasting the time in Abu Dhabi, surely it is not for the money!!!
I've been seeing alot of skin from Stanislas lately, hopefully there's more to come next year. I wanna see that fat ass!
well- Novak royally kicked Roger's ass....6-2, 6-1...so I don't think he cares where he was postitoned- seeing as how it's an exhibition and they're all there to gauge where they are- I'm guessing Novak's really pleased.
too right, no greater pleasure than seeing novak kick roger's ass. still think the event is a farce and none of them should be playing it, but heyho
Please, Federer even let Roddick his bitch win an exhibition match or two.
And here we go!!! The qualifying rds are underway in Brisbane now & they have finally released the draw/list
Cute Lithuanian player Grigelis Laurynas made the cut
The things I don't like about Federer are probably the things that turn me on the most. I find him smug and arrogant and think he gets away with saying and doing things that other players would be criticised for. That said I get some kind of perverted pleasure out of watching him beat up my favourite players - like Roddick.
I think the dislike comes more from the worship he gets from pundits etc, it really gets on my nerves. I believe he is the GOAT but I think the real test comes of somebody when they lose and I don't think he shows as much class in defeat as Nadal and certainly not Djokovic.
Well done to Novak today btw, awesome play and so impressive that his form continues. 2012 is going to be good!
Also trying 2 qualify 4 the Brisbane main draw are:
Amer Delic, Simon Greul, Ricardas Berankis, Matt Reid & Chris Guccione
if you honestly think Roger would let Novak win 62 61, you're crazy- after last year, Roger would want revenge, and pride would dictate he try as hard as he could against Novak....the Roger hat- I stopped liking him over time- bored it was always him, then the US Open final vs Del Potro made me start disliking him- he was a total prick in that match and has been in several other since- when he realizes the old Roger magic can't pull him out of the hole, he gets obnoxious- sure, it's pride, etc....but it's annoying to watch.
Over in India Thiemo De Bakker from Belgium is attempting 2 qualify @ his 1st tournament of the season
Of course the Chennai draw is typically saturated with Asian players...here's some of the Asian qualifier contestants
Jimmy Wang, Go Soeda, Neeraj Elnaegovan, Prajnesh Gunneswaran & Abhijeet Tiwari
And @ Qatar the lovely Marco Chiudinelli was sadly unable 2 get past rd 1 of the qualifying
These boys were also in Doha 4 qualifying this year
Dustin Brown, James Ward, Matthias Bachinger, Bjorn Phau & Yuri Schukin
Tsonga is doing great @ Qatar main draw
The player Tsonga defeated was Tunisian w/c Malek Jaziri....been witching him for awhile & would love 2c more!!!
here's a pic of Jaziri as well as a few others competing @Qatar maindraw
Gael Monfils, Pablo Andujar, Rafael Nadal & Viktor Troicki
what a lovely treat it is coming back to this thread every day and getting some brilliant pics every time.
tsonga looks more toned to me than last time i saw him, probably a good move
i always forget how hot Chiudinelli is. thanks for the reminder
Portugal's Frederico Gil had a decent year 2011...bad start 2012 though 1st rd loss @ Chennai
Here's an actual pic of Eric Prodon & Benoit Paire practicing @ Chennai this week....not pleased yet with the pix so far this year but hopefully they get better & I got plenty in reserve
some other random pix players from the tournament in India
Edouard Roger Vasselin, Janko Tipsarevic, Rendu Lu & Steve Darcis
And that just leaves Brisbane where Igor Andreev has not only now lost his long time gf Maria Kirilenko but also his mojo...hope his year improves
These players also had less than successful results @ Brisbane
Adrian Mannarino, Matt Ebden, Jurgen Melzer, Kei Nishikori & Santiago Giraldo
Some fun pix from this year's Hopman Cup
Finalists Verdasco/Garrigues (they'll play Gasquet/Bartoli 4 the Cup)

Slide Rock State Park
Creek visitors may not travel past the barricades on the creek north, upstream into the Slide Fire Burn Area. Visitors may find ash, soot or debris from recent flooding events associated with the Slide Fire along the entire Swim Area. Please exercise caution when using this area.
The parks normal hours are 9 am - 5 pm, with last park entry at 4 pm. (November 1st through March 31st.)
Entrance fees are $10.00 per vehicle (up to 4 adults: an adult is anyone 14 years of age or older; each additional adult is $3.00; pay with cash, Visa, or MasterCard).
Slide Rock SP Named One of "America's 10 Best State Parks"
"There's pretty much one reason and one reason only to visit Slide Rock State Park, seven miles north of Sedona: to slip down the smooth, red-sandstone water slide and be carried over the surface by a cooling creek into the swimming hole below." —Fodor's Travel. Read Release
During summer months Slide Rock experiences extremely high visitation. The parking lot will typically fill up from late morning through early afternoon. A long wait to enter the park may occur, especially on weekends and holidays. When the park reaches capacity a Parking Lot Full sign will be posted at the park's point of entry. During times of high visitation access to the park is only available from the southbound turn lane. If and when the southbound turn lane fills and begins to encroach the highway, access to the park will be temporarily unavailable.
Introductory Park Video
After you start the video, change resolution to 480 for High Quality.
Slide Rock State Park, originally the Pendley Homestead, is a 43-acre historic apple farm located in Oak Creek Canyon. Frank L. Pendley, having arrived in the canyon in 1907, formally acquired the land under the Homestead Act in 1910. Due to his pioneering innovation, he succeeded where others failed by establishing a unique irrigation system still in use by the park today. This allowed Pendley to plant his first apple orchard in 1912, beginning the pattern of agricultural development that has dominated the site since that time. Pendley also grew garden produce and kept some livestock.
As one of the few homesteads left intact in the canyon today, Slide Rock State Park is a fine example of early agricultural development in Central Arizona. The site was also instrumental to the development of the tourism industry in Oak Creek Canyon. The completion of the canyon road in 1914 and the paving of the roadway in 1938 were strong influences in encouraging recreational use of the canyon. Hence, Pendley followed suit and in 1933, built rustic cabins to cater to vacationers and sightseers.
The park is named after the famous Slide Rock, a stretch of slippery creek bottom adjacent to the homestead. Visitors may slide down a slick natural water chute or wade and sun along the creek. The swim area is located on National Forest land which is jointly managed by Arizona State Parks and the U.S. Forest Service. Together these areas have seen the making of many Hollywood movies such as "Broken Arrow" (1950) with James Stewart, "Drum Beat" (1954) with Alan Ladd and Charles Bronson, "Gun Fury" (1953) with Rock Hudson and Donna Reed, and a scene from "Angel and the Badman" (1946) with John Wayne.
On July 10, 1985, Arizona State Parks purchased the park property from the Arizona Parklands Foundation. The park was dedicated in October 1987, and accepted onto the National Register of Historic Places on December 23, 1991.

Mesh Inset Bodycon Dress
Love, love, love this dress!!
This dress fits like a glove. So sexy and classy. Can't wait to wear it to my reunion!
August 13, 2013
Not made for a woman with curves!
This dress is very sexy and I love the material BUT I am unable to wear it because it doesnt fit my body type. I am 5'9" and 145lb with an athletic build and a bit of a rump shaker. When I tried the dress on there was a bubble of space between my back and the dress because of the curve of my backside. This dress is not mindful of a woman's curves and because it has no seams, i cannot have it altered without tearing up the dress, so it will be returned sadly.
August 8, 2013
This dress is sexy without being trashy! The material is delicate so make sure you're careful with it. It fits true to size and it gives just enough, while leaving enough to the imagination. You never want to show all your goods ladies! I'm wearing mine with my patent leather Bianca louboutins & small clutch. Another recommended add on to the Bebe lovers closet.
May 28, 2013
Sexy dress!
Ordered online and was very satisfied with the dress. Fits great, will show off every curve.

Sleek and Sexy
This dress fits like a glove, with plenty of stretch. I love the sheer panels which add a bit of an edge.

Take flights to Edinburgh for sweeping Georgian terraces and medieval cobbled alleyways, crowned by a crag-top castle.
Things to do
Take a hearty climb up the grassy flights of Edinburgh's Calton Hill, an extinct volcano with grandiose 19th-century monuments at its peak. From there Edinburgh's panorama unfolds, dotted with grey spires and azure lochs, and villagey suburbs stretching to the sea.
Browse quirky clothing stores along the colourful terraces of zig-zagged Victoria Street in the medieval Old Town. Here, you'll find retro styles from home-grown designers to take home from your Edinburgh city break.
On your Edinburgh holiday, dine on the tenement-lined shore in suburban Leith. Watch the sun slowly dip over the waterfront while you choose the freshest of fish in informal bistros.
Join Edinburghers for an evening at a cosy Old Town pub, with wood panels and low-beamed ceilings. Take your pick from a rich pint of locally-brewed beer, or sample the myriad Scottish malt whiskies like Glenlivet or smoky Laphroaig.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Edinburgh. Buy your ticket for top events like August's mammoth Edinburgh International Festival, or watch the torch-lit parade for October's Samhuinn festival.

A Good Reward For Those Who Do Good
April 22, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Imam Abdullah El-Amin, MMNS
There is something we Muslims have that no other people on the face of the earth have. We have the comfortable feeling that we posses the last and most perfect scripture from ALLAH and it is 100% TRUE. Therefore we don't have to guess or wonder about which direction to take or which decisions to make.
This is an example of what living the positive life through positive thinking means.
"Say: "O ye My servants who believe! Fear your Lord. Good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is ALLAH's earth. Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure."
As the above directive points out, if you want good to come to you, you only need to do good yourself. And, of course, the more good you do, the more good you can expect in your life. It is written, "The more you give of what you get – the more you get of what you give." This includes money (material, giving zakat), happy existence, good wishes from everybody, and anything else you can think of.
What enables you to think positively about life is to be a devout believer in the Word of ALLAH. When you believe and act on what ALLAH tells you to do, you are guaranteed success. But you must believe this for it to work.
If you don't believe it, you will eventually deny it and slide backwards. It is similar to a person trying to quit smoking cigarettes. There is a big difference between "quitting" and "stopping."
If you just "stop", eventually you will slip and smoke again – and you will want it until you get that puff. But when you quit, you are not tortured because you know you are never going to smoke again.
It is the same with belief and disbelief in ALLAH. In order to not backslide you must believe that what you read and feel is True.
If we take a look at the world today, we see many people, Muslims included, influenced by the ravages of Satan. We see families breaking up. We see children going astray influenced by the negative images they see on TV and in the movies, and the music they listen to. With so many negatives, positive thinking may seem like it is fighting a losing battle.
But, once again, that is where belief and faith come in. ALLAH has revealed a remedy for every assault Satan places on the human being. ALL you have to do is THINK positively about the revelation of ALLAH and the healing begins. ALLAH is real and His solutions are real.
If you believe ALLAH will do great things for you, it will happen. Your whole life and everything connected to it will begin to change. To make this change, you must first fill your mind with the powerful words of spirituality of the Holy Qur'an. Focus your actions to be like the actions of Prophet Muhammad.
This will change your thoughts from negative to positive. Then give thanks to ALLAH for what He has given you. And you know, it is a curious thing – the more you thank ALLAH, the more He gives you. This is because He knows you are appreciative. If you never thank Him, He knows you are not appreciative, and responds with less help.
So let us think positively about everything. Believe and have faith in ALLAH… and expect a miracle.
As Salaam alaikum
Al Hajj Imam Abdullah El-Amin

But did you know just how much of a health boost they can be? According to a 10-year study of older people in Adelaide, Australia, satisfying friendships predict longevity better than even close family ties, and they can protect against obesity, depression, and heart disease, among other health problems. "When women get stressed, our instinct is often to find a friend and talk things through," says Joan Borysenko, PhD, author of Inner Peace for Busy Women. "Both touch and talk release the hormone oxytocin, which has a profoundly calming effect on your mind and body."
You don't need 600 Facebook friends or a jam-packed social calendar to reap these impressive perks (in fact, both can backfire). Research shows the following "types" of relationships are especially potent for your health. Here's how to cherish these friendships and make sure you stay close for the long haul.

Know Your Lore: Cataclysm for Dummies, Act II
So, Act I of our Cataclysm for Dummies guide went over the basics of Cataclysm -- how it came to be, just who that Deathwing guy is, anyway, and why he's so annoyed with the world in general. We also found out why we're going to all those new level 80 to 85 zones and, more importantly, why we're wandering around in three different raids in three completely different locations around the world. If you made it through the basics, congratulations! You're caught up through patch 4.0.
But we're in patch 4.3, aren't we? And you've probably still got questions. Questions like: What's up with the troll dungeons -- didn't we kill those guys already? And why did we have to go fight Ragnaros again? Why is Thrall friendly as all get-out with the Dragon Aspects? Why do we have to do all this silly time travel? The good news is, by the time you're done reading this guide, you'll totally understand what Cataclysm is all about.
Please note: There are spoilers here for the novel Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects. If you're still planning on reading it, you may want to do so before you hit this recap.

I have already recommended this course to others. I value the experience level, knowledge base, and professionalism portrayed by the instructor. I believe that my chances of receiving grant awards have been increased due to information provided in this course.
I have had some success with grant writing in the past, but I found this course INVALUABLE with helping me identify my areas of weakness. The system is terrific. Thank you.
I want to thank you for such an informative and convenient course! I've learned so much and have recently accepted a postion working with a local non-profit group as a grant writer. We have many programs on the burner, so my work is cut out for me. Again, thank you!
I have enjoyed your lessons! I am so excited about the things that I have learned in this course. I love the thorough explanation, the easy flo of the lessons, and the extra links to other sites.
That was an incredible class. I learned so much. When I started this course my baby was just 2 months old. It was hard to always find the time to do everything but I completed all of the reading and learned a ton. I have now secured an internship with a local nonprofit in their development department and I'm going to be doing some research (paid) for a grant writer I know that needs to outsource some of their work load. Your writing style, the fast responses to discussions and the in depth description of everything that goes into grant writing blew me away. You are an incredible teacher. Thank you. I really appreciated this class.
Your class was most informative! I appreciate your passionate and encouraging writing style, and the way in which you presented the information in manageable parts to teach a process that is completely "doable." I appreciate your passion for the people and communities you help by enabling people like myself and other students to become grant writers who can, in turn, benefit others with the skills you have taught us. Thank you so much!
This was one of the best courses I have ever taken. Your vast experience and attention to detail, along with your obvious passion for what you do, shows in all of the lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learning about grant writing. I plan to take more grant writing courses and possibly change careers into this field. Thank you!
This class has been very helpful. I have greater confidence in the approach to grant writing, and to potential funders. Thank you for your time, effort, extensive information and resource material. Thanks also for showing the order for presenting all of these elements. This class was well worth my time and finances.
I finished my final exam and I'm excited as I look back at everything I've learned in such a short time. With every lesson I experienced a renewed sense of admiration for the way you have put this course together. It is extremely informative yet simple for anyone to understand. Your examples are relevant and very helpful--along with the valuable advice and tips you offered. The organization methods with pictures (binders, file cabinet, folders) were so practical. I have learned so much from this course!!
Each lesson amazes me at how much research and work goes into grant writing. Thank you for all your extremely well-organized training and your willingness to share your vast knowledge.
