Q: Do you know of any famous people that have had the heart disease endocarditis?
I need to find this for a science project… thanx!!!

A: De Musset was a famous poet who commented on his head bobbing to the beat of his heart while writing to his lover. This same lover was probably responsible for the Syphilis that caused him to have an incompetent aortic valve, which caused severe aortic regurgitation. Years later the sign of “head bobbing” in severe aortic regurgitation is called the De Musset sign.

Hope that helps!

Q: Name some famous people that would have benefitted from a stem cell transplant?
like paralyzed- roosevelt, heart disease people benefit, liver trans plants, etc. just cant think of any

A: After nearly ten years of research, there are no approved treatments or human trials using embryonic stem cells.
•19 July, 2006 – President George W. Bush vetoes H.R. 810 (Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act), a bill that would have reversed the Dickey Amendment which made it illegal for federal money to be used for research where stem cells are derived from the destruction of an embryo.
•16 February, 2007 – The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine became the biggest financial backer of human embryonic stem cell research in the United States when they awarded nearly $45 million in research grants.
•04 November, 2008 – The people of the U.S. state of Michigan passed Proposal 08-2, allowing Michigan researchers to make embryonic stem cell cultures from excess embryos donated from fertility treatments.
•23 January, 2009 – Under the new President Barack Obama, the restrictions placed on federal funding of Stem Cell research in the United States were lifted.
But a number of adult stem cell therapies already exist, particularly bone marrow transplants that are used to treat leukemia.

Q: Comic Relief / Red Nose Day 2009?
Do you think that the giving to this charity should be coming from famous people who earn at least 2 million per year?

I think that some famous footballers/celebrities, should dip into their earnings and give to this charity and not keep asking us the public to donate. This would save the public from donating their money. (I do understand people enjoy doing things for charity)

I donate to comic relief, children in need and certain charities close to my heart like cancer and heart disease charities.

If 60 famous millionaires donates a million each of their earnings then they would have 60 million without having to come to us.

People like….

David Beckham.
Theo Walcott.
Simon Cowell.
Wayne Rooney.

To name only a few…Maybe they donate but I bet they don’t donate as much as a million pounds. Im sure that they would get it back in their accounts in interest….

A: Apparently Robbie William donates millions and is solely responsible for keeping thousands of jobs safe in Stoke on Trent, yet never advertises that fact. It was let skip by someone being interviewed that was asked that exact same question on the Radio

Q: Why does poverty remain the planets most wide spread disease? – essay …tell me ur opinion 10 pts?
Poverty is one of the most talk about issues in the entire world. A Dictionary of Sociology, by author Gordon Marshal defined poverty as a term in which the individual lacks the resources necessary for subsistence. But I believe the word poverty is much more than that.

Poverty is not only the lack of money, it is also the lack of moral values, faith and health. Our world is full of corruption, ambition and hatred. We have forgotten the words friendship and forgiveness. We believe that the only way to make it to the top is by lying and stepping in other people. We will rather loose or betray a friend to reach a job position. We read how famous people spend thousand of dollars in clothes and how politicians waste millions of dollars in wars, but when our community ask something from them they say there’s no money, they prefer to let people die of hunger, than loose a war. Worse than that we are loosing our fate, we don’t believe in anything, faith is what keep our hopes up. We talk about moral values, but we legalize abortion centers and drugs. And yet we all shout and cry as we hear how our world is falling apart, but still we don’t realize that we are the one who are causing this mess.

I think we can still change, we still have time, but first we must accept that the true meaning of poverty begins in our heart.
um sorry for the expelling mistakes , english is not my first language , im doing my best! .

A: First off your English is great for second language. But to get right to your point, the reason their is poverty is all our own fault. I completely agree with what your saying. And it all started at the beginning of this world when we first sinned. Thats when poverty, pain, misery, was introduced into this world. We brought it in and unfortunately we cant take it back out again. Its all of us proud, jealous, fighting humans on this earth that cause wars, drugs, etc… WE chose it to be this way. But on the bright side there is a God who can take away spiritual misery and bring love and forgiveness into our lives. Remember our life on this earth is only 70 years, maybe 80, and then we live on forever in either heaven or hell. There is no other alternative. Everyone expects heaven of course, thats what we come to expect to happen. But like you were saying the poverty is first in our hearts. If we can bring God into our lives and into the lives of those around us, we would be whole lot closer to ending world problems. But as we know this world is destined for destruction some day b/c human nature doesnt want a “God” to rule their life. Anyway I dont mean to preach at you for so long, its just that religion is a big part of my life. Religion should be our whole life! I wish you the best.

I steadfastly believe that Scorpios (sun/moon/rising) are given an overblown evil image they do not deserve fully! All I’ve met “can” be on the edge at time, but mostly loving at heart….

A: Tick tock’s description, colorful as usual. And metaphorically accurate.

All of this is bunk. Consider this: astrology is a form of bigotry based on what month someone was born and where the moon was, or whatever. These descriptions are given, knowing that you will recognize the ones that apply to you, (on the most flimsy grounds), and ignore the ones that don’t. This bunch of attributes could just as easily be given to someone of a different sign and they would agree with them as much as you do.

The people who write this garbage know that you will try and try to find how each description fits you. You may not be what someone would call “nosey” at all, but you tried to find examples of it, didn’t you? Heck, it might take you two days, but you’ll remember when you were six years old, you peeked inside a … and so on. Then you have the revelation that the description was indeed accurate. See how that works?

For fun, see how many contradictions you can find in those descriptions. I mean, “dark or fair complected”??? That should give you a real good clue about how bogus astrology is. “Plump” and “well proportioned”??

Anyway, you found serious contradictions in what this said about you, didn’t you? Now are you going to be bigoted against yourself or are you going to trash that whole astrology thing. Look what it’s already doing to your self-image.

Q: Is this an okay thesis for a college research paper?
Is this the way to write a college research paper? If I continue on writing in this way will I be doing it right?

Basic Thesis:

We can’t be sure of what reality is

Therefore it is safest to walk the middle way(live a life of moderation) (just a matter of reasoning), which will do much to [save] the environment (include qoutes from scholarly journals?)

“Because we live on a planet with finite resources and an ever increasing population it makes since to stop using more than we need and to stop producing more people than the earth can comfortably support. It makes since to take care of the earth that takes care of us. Because we ultimately don’t know what the true nature of reality is it is safest to live a life of moderation.

We stand to lose much of what can be considered the good in life by avoiding our responsibility to utilize our environment in a fair and just way. What would the pleasure in life be if we sat in stuffy offices and around the television all the time? The beautiful trees are the lungs of the world and provide shade to read a book. The sight of a child playing in a pile of leaves has the ability to warm our hearts probably a little bit more than if they were jumping about on a steel fixture in a concrete playground.

“The softest, brightest morning sunlight fell on the dry grass and the stems of the trees in the opposite horizon and on the leaves of the shrub oaks on the hillside, while our shadows stretched long over the meadow east ward, as if we were the only motes in its beams. It was such a light as we could not have imagined a moment before, and the air also was so warm and serene that nothing was wanting to make a paradise of that meadow. When we reflected that this was not a solitary phenomenon, never to happen again, but that it would happen forever and ever, an infinite number of evenings, and cheer and reassure the latest child that walked there, it was more glorious still.” (Thoreau: p 31: (2))

That’s the good in life. The profound resides in the simple.
What is reality? In his essay On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings famous American philosopher and father of Psychology, William James, so magnificently provides, “[H]ow insensible, each of us, to all that makes life significant for the other! … As you sit reading the most moving romance you ever fell upon, what sort of a judge is your fox-terrier of your behavior? With all his good will toward you, the nature of your conduct is absolutely excluded from his comprehension. To sit there like a senseless statue, when you might be taking him to walk and throwing sticks for him to catch! What queer disease is this that comes over you every day, of holding things and staring at them like that for hours together, paralyzed of motion and vacant of all conscious life? …

… The spectator’s judgment is sure to miss the root of the matter, and to possess no truth. The subject judged knows a part of the world of reality which the judging spectator fails to see, knows more while the spectator knows less…” (James: p 229 – 231)

The blindness of which James spoke, “…is the blindness with which we all are afflicted in regard to the feelings of creatures and people different from ourselves.” (James: p 232) “Each of us is consumed by our own construction of reality- our fundamental beliefs, our plans, our hopes, and fears. It is only with effort that we come to recognize that one does not know reality itself, but only the reality revealed by our particular perspective. There are other perspectives to be considered- other realities to be probed.” (Howard: p 5)

We have become very destructively anthropocentric; we absolutely must, if we are to survive as a species, concern ourselves with all of the web of life. Most of us usually communicate using just one language, and usually that is a human language, understood only by humans. But why do we talk only with each other? Why do we, for the most part, only embrace the other if it happens to be human? We find ourselves here in what is a big, beautiful world with many marvelously wonderful creatures and trees and beings of all sorts. But we made these ’sorts’, these categories that we call creature, plant, and so forth. But what does it really mean to be a tree? Unless you are a tree I think I can safely assume that you don’t really know; there is so much to explore outside of ourselves! “Imagine a world in which carpenter knows beaver, lawyer knows eagle, philosopher knows the silence of the deep night.” (Aizenstat: p 96: (11))”

Thanks!

A: Some English professors probably wouldn’t like to admit it, but there are many different ways to write an essay. Some people start at the beginning and progress steadily towards the end. Other people have to set up an outline and write individual sections and then link them together.

The way you write a paper will often depend on what you think your teacher is expecting. Just like “real life,” you have to consider your audience. So, pay close attention to your teacher’s instructions and try to please him or her (or whoever will be reading, grading, judging, etc.)

I would say that you definitely have a good start here. You obviously use citations very effectively. You seem to be providing good support for your thesis ans staying on topic. Your grammar seems to be in order. Your sentence structure is clear and concise, and you have a good level of vocabulary suitable for an academic paper.

At this point I would say that an overwhelming portion of your text consists of quotations, and that’s certainly a legitimate place to start. So you’ll need to expand on those quotations. Explain your interpretation of them, relate them to your thesis, analyze them, compare and contrast differing views, and so forth.

Another piece of advice that I would offer is to use plenty of what the English professors call “transition words” (http://www.studygs.net/wrtstr6.htm ). They help link your sentences together while maintaining a natural flow.

Good luck with the rest of your paper.

Q: Can you help me with my one sentence summary about this article?
Mickey Mantle played his way into the pantheon of baseball bods, and drank his way to the brink of death. So in today’s cynical debate over health-care priorities, Mick’s record drinking would drop him to the bottom of the list for a life-saving transplant. Chilling but ture. He’s over 60 and was an alcoholic for most of his life, a choice that helped make him as sick as he is today. Then there’s his age and hedical condition,which would put his chances at about 60 percent for surviving a liver transplant for five years or more.
The cynics would say Mick is a poor risk indeed. They are wrong.
Such a heartless and politicized point of view has gained strength ever since 1984, when former colorado governor Richard Lamm made the famous declaration that the terminally ill have a “duty to die and get out of the way. Let the others in society, our children, build a reasonable life.”he said. What kind of a reasonable life is it when politicians decide whether it is a good risk to save a human life?
But lamm had more to say on modern technogy, exactly the kind that could save Mickey Mantle. “How many hearts should we give to a smoker…how many liver transplants can we afford to give to an alcoholic,” he asked, implying that one was too many.
In Oregon, Lamm’s legacy lives on in something called the Oregon Health Plan, a “medical rationing” welfare program started in February 1994. The plan prioritizes 565 diseases and their treatments based on how effective the treatments are and how much they cost. Transplants for liver cancer patients are not funded.
Can we trust the politicians to do the right thing for the sickest and poorest among us? In Oregon, the health professionals decide what diseases and treatments go on the list and then a computer determines treatment priorities based on death rates and costs.
But the politicians decide how much money is spent.
No matter what the proponents say, the Oregon system rations people out of care simply by denying them medical services because some politician doesn’t like the survival odds or costs.
Fortunately, Mick won’t have to worry about getting a chance at a liver transplant. Get well, Mick, before the most cynical of the health-care reformers do us all in.

A: In the article “Mick’s Toughtest Inning” (from The New York Post), Cathy Burke argues that all patients are entitled to organ transplants, regardless of whether they take good care of their bodies.

Q: what do u think of this essy so far?
THE DANGERS OF SMOKING
Juliana Okereke
Sec:7,8

All smokers must quit now!!! Scientists have discovered that smoking kills more people then Aids, alcohal, car accidents, suicide, and illegal drugs put together.Statistics shows that 22.3% of U.S citizens smoke. Smoking causes many different heath risks,coast a lot of money,and is linked to environmental tobacco smoke wich is known has second hand smoking.

Studies have shown that smoking is dangerous to a smokers health including the 4,000 chemicals found in cigarettes that can cause cancer. In addention, smoking causes 30% of all cancer deaths. In 1982 Surgeon Genarl stateted that “Cigarette smoking is a major cause of cancer in the Uniated states”this is as true today as it was in 1982.But cancer is onley half of the heath problems caused by smoking.Smoking also causes heart disease, bronchitis, emphsema, and strokes.Addentionly, smoking can also cause Ostoporosic wich is a diesase that causes older people to become bent over and break there bones easily. Smoking is also said to shorthen your life by 14 years

Not only can smoking harm you it can also cost you a lot of money it is estimated that smoking just a pack a day can cost you $1,800 a year,but wait there is more smoking over the course of a life time can cost you $58,400.000 dollars!!For example smoker Barney has to pay $12 perday for one and a half pack of cigarettes that’s $4,380 per year. Now that is money you could spend on something useful like helping the poor, buying a new car, and also saving up on that some thing special you may want to buy.

Not only can smoking harm the smoker it can also harm the people around the smoker too this is known has second hand smoking or Enviromental tobacco smoke.Statistics says that 3,000 people die of second hand smoking each year. Furtamore there are 2 types of second hand smoking mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke.Mianstream smoke is when half of the smoke is inhaled of exhaled. Sidesream smoke is when smoke floats in the air.Second hand smoking can cause a lot of health issues like lung cancer, Nasel sinus, cavity cancer, cervical cancer, breast cancer, and blader cancer. In addention too, secondhand smoking has a greater risk on children it can worsen a kids astma condition and can cause sudden infant death or (SID).

In conlusion based on my research on the dagers of smoking I think all smokers should quit because of its heath risks, expenses on ones income, and also its affects on the envioment. In fact in 1982 Surgen Geneal said that formor smokers live longer then continuing smokers. For example people who smoke that quit before the age of 50 have half the risk of dying in the next 15 years compared with continuing smokers.But even though 70% of smokers want to quit and 35% attemt to quit sadly only 5% succed in quiting.A famous quote I think has to do with smoking is “Cigarettes are killers that travel in packs” this quote tells about the danger of smoking. I think that if anyone ever choses to smoke they are making a very wrong destion.

A: The content of the essay is good but you have a lot of spelling and grammer mistakes that really need to be corrected. There are also a lot of run-on sentances. You should run it through spelling and grammer check before you turn it in.

Q: Can you pleases help me summarize this ( 10 pts)?
Odetta was more than just a singer. She used her classically trained voice and some guitar playing to channel the colorful and sometimes deeply sad stories that make up American folk music. Odetta influenced generations of musicians and became an icon in the civil rights struggle. She died on December 2, 2008, after battling heart disease. She was 77 years old.

Odetta’s voice sang for many. The highly praised folk singer gave life to the songs of working people and slaves, farmers and miners, housewives and washerwomen, African Americans and whites. She didn’t just sing the notes in the songs. Odetta “became” the people in the songs and performed as though she felt what they felt.

“What distinguished [Odetta] from the start was the … care with which she tried to re-create the feeling of her folk songs [when she performed],” Time magazine wrote in 1960.

Odetta’s life began in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1930. She moved with her family to Los Angeles, California, when she was 6 years old. Odetta started studying music when she was 13 and later studied opera singing at Los Angeles City College, where she became interested in folk music. She came to prominence in the folk music world in the 1950s.

Odetta had not lived the lives of the people in her songs, but she was interested in their stories.

“I’m not a real folk singer,” Odetta told The Washington Post in 1983. “I don’t mind people calling me that, but I’m a musical historian. I’m a city kid who has admired an area and who got into it. I’ve been fortunate. With folk music, I can do my teaching and preaching … . ”

Odetta used music to preach messages of hope, justice, and humanity during the civil rights movement in the 1960s. She encouraged African Americans to take pride in themselves. In August 1963, she sang a song called “I’m on My Way” at the historic March on Washington, the civil rights demonstration where Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

During this time, folk music was experiencing a boom. Singers like Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan began performing and recording songs in which they expressed their views on civil rights and other issues of the day. They and many other folk superstars were influenced by Odetta.

“The first thing that [got me into] folk singing was Odetta,” Dylan said in 1978.

Odetta released album after album of songs. She was considered for Grammys in the 1960s and as recently as 2005. In 1999, she was honored with a National Medal of the Arts. President Bill Clinton said her career showed “us all that songs have the power to change the heart and change the world.”

In spite of her failing health, Odetta performed 60 concerts in the last two years. Her singing ability never diminished. Neither did her enthusiasm for singing. In 1983, she said that for her, music was still a way to express hope and grief.

“There’s always something to sing about,” Odetta said.

A: The first thing you want to do, in order to make this easier for you, is to summarize each paragraph seperately from each other. If the paragraph is small, you can merge it with the following or preceding paragraph as well. Try to break the main points of the paragraph into one or maybe two sentances. Personally, I would leave out irrelevant quotes (like the one in the third paragraph). Additionally, you want to keep everything flowing and chronological.

For the first paragraph I would put:

Odetta, an influential singer/songwriter and civil rights activist, Died on December 2, 2008.

For the second paragraph I would put:

Using her voice as a social motivator, Odetta brought the hard-boiled atmosphere of the 1950’s to life.

Anyway, I hope this helps. I don’t want to do you’re homework for you. I just want to show you how to do it on your own. You’ll feel better about it I think

A: At times I do feel some people don’t understand me. I’m not a fighter but I stand up for myself. I’m not the crazy type who goes out and seeks revenge, I rather not be bothered with the person/people anymore and keep my distance. I have a high self esteem and I’m very happy and confident about myself. But I’m not proud, arrogant or materialistic which is some of the things I hate about Scorpios. I can be secretive but I’m not nosy. I can become heartless if a person tries to hurt me but that’s if they really try to bring me down. I like to forgive and forget because I hate conflict and life is too short to hold grudges. All the childish and petty stuff is so unnecessary to me. The only time I can become jealous if my significant other gives more love and affection to someone else. But there are times when I can be wrong about that but this horrible moon placement is the cause of me becoming suspicious. I hate having a Scorpio moon.
