If the trend in overfishing continues, Caribbean reefs — which account for about a tenth of the world’s corals — could all but vanish in 20 years, the report predicts.

The idea of providing daycare for the children of working mothers wasn’t a bad idea back to 1988,there was a great deal of employee’s children who had enrolled in the Nyloncraft Learning Center. On site learning center had a big impact by reduced turnover, absenteeism, and tardiness. It was good for business, employees, and the kids. We wasn’t looking after these children as a baby siting service, but we provided state certified, instruction, professional preschool, and we feed them The biggest issue that we are facing now is, there is a decreasing of employees’ children number, which means the cost of having this center will increase without real benefits.

Service Line Development Plan

...developing an orthopedic center The needs assessment done previously shows that orthopedic cases are expected to climb by 46%, with a 30% increase in inpatient joint and spine procedures. As well, it is expected that outpatient joint and spine procedures are expected to increase by 350%. These numbers show that within the defined market area, there is a high demand for the orthopedic center. Further research shows that the other 2 hospitals that we are in direct competition with provide strong orthopedic programs; however, both facilities are private hospitals, thereby increasing the demand for a strong orthopedic program at Trinity. We are finding that because of our prime location within the community and with an expected population growth of 4% per year, our demand for a strong orthopedic program will continue to grow. Through our needs assessment, it was determined that with a well-established orthopedic center, we will be able to provide services for a majority of the orthopedic cases within the community. As well, we know that current resources will not allow us to keep up with this increase demand; therefore, it is feasible that we look to develop the orthopedic center now. The development of the orthopedic center could allow us to incorporate the international trend of spending less money and still providing quality healthcare for all citizens within the community. We could look into ways to minimize spending, while still ensuring that the center will provide high quality...

...the restrictions of certain food groups generally don’t work in the long term and can even be dangerous. The low cost of diets and the promise of fast results can certainly encourage many Americans to diet. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention more than 20 million Americans use dietary supplements, including multivitamins, minerals and herbs. The rise of diet supplements from 42% in 2006 to 62% in 2010 has only fueled the growth of dietary supplements and diet plans to a multimillion dollar industry (Center for Disease Control, 2011). The weight loss industry encourages individuals to improve their overall health by dieting. The industry approach suggest people can eat poorly and just take a diet supplement and have the same results of someone who eats well, exercise and takes care of their health by getting regular checkups. This is farthest from the truth according to a CNN report. Dr. Roberta Anding, a registered dietitian and director of sports nutrition at Texas Children Hospital, stated “while some supplements can be helpful in losing weight they are not match to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. “ Studies haven’t shown any significant difference between people who diet and take supplements are healthier than those who do not, according to Dr. Anding” (Park, 2011).

The San Francisco Unified School District has spent the past ten years creating a support network for teenagers that promote wellness and mental health. Recently, they spent a full day focused on helping students to understand teenage stress. The school’s wellness center held an outreach, as well, with music, games, and prizes. Their goal was to further destigmatize emotional health issues. After the shootings at Columbine High School, the city formed the San Francisco Wellness Initiative, which is made up of the Department of Children, Youth, and their Families, as well as the Department of Public Health. 24-hour support programs began popping up in neighborhoods, serving as a safe haven for teens. The program integrated through the schools, and the school system took it a step further, providing a variety of services to students. They feel the importance of these services lies within the statistics of their success. Last year: 1/3 of Galileo’s 2200 students went to the Wellness Center for help, and the center sees between 300 and 400 students per week, whether it’s for individual counseling or group support services.

Impact of Unisured Population

...United States government is attempting to reform the healthcare system, so that all citizens have access to adequate high quality health care at an affordable cost. People who do not have health insurance coverage by either private or government-sponsored health insurance programs define the uninsured individual. The voluntary system of health insurance in America is the primary cause of leaving a segment of the population uninsured. Many Americans remain uninsured because employers in the private sector do not mandate to provide health insurance to their employees, and the public programs cover only certain defined categories of people who meet the criteria established for eligibility (Shi & Singh, 2004). The Phoenix area has one of the highest rates of uninsurance in the country, with more than one-quarter of the population lacking coverage. Only 60% of working adults and their dependents receive health insurance through their employers, and the preponderance of low-wage jobs in the local employment sector makes it likely that many people cannot afford to purchase insurance on their own. Federal welfare reform legislation enacted in 1996 has contributed to the insurance coverage problem because reportedly large numbers of former welfare recipients who remain eligible for Medicaid have not reenrolled (See Appendix A for...

Fusion Centers

...Fusion Centers: A Step In The Right Direction The formation of fusion centers is a step in the right direction to countering terrorist threats. By working efficiently and appropriately, information leading to arrests can be shared across county lines, state lines, and all around the world in a timely manner. Fusion centers can make law enforcement agencies more competent and effective in stopping crimes (to include terrorist attacks) before they take place. As long as the centers follow the laws they are governed by, they will remain ethical and can be a helpful addition in protecting the United States. Fusion centers in the United States perform a valuable role in countering terrorist threats, their positive influence far outweighs any negative actions they have conducted, and continue to provide an invaluable service to US law enforcement. Fusion is the integration and analysis of large amounts of information and intelligence for actionable policy ends (1). According to CongressionalResearch.com, “Fusing foreign intelligence with a wide spectrum of domestic information is the stated primary purpose of fusion centers” (2). Fusion centers, if managed properly, can be a valuable tool in not just countering terrorist threats but also in helping tribal, local, state, and federal law enforcement in stopping criminal activity as well as mitigating the after effects of natural disasters. Fusion centers allow for better communication and encourage the sharing of intelligence...

It seems like since 9/11 happened people have lost touch with God, and some have even turned to other gods. It is a sad world we live in, if you look at it from a worldly point of view. This is not the way to look at things; you have to look at it from a spiritual point of view. God is in complete control and always has been, He has a plan and He is definitely putting it into action. Just read the book of Revelation and you will see that God’s plan is coming together perfectly. I could spend all day here with many quotes from Revelation but by the time I got done we would have a thousand pages or so of just quotes, so I will just say this, Just READ IT! Before I continue any further, I will state this and claim it, that there is only ONE GOD AND THAT IS JESUS CHRIST THE LORD!!! He is the “The Way, The Truth and The Life.” (John 14:6 ESV) I will always believe that, no matter what the world says. John 14:6 alone sums it up in my opinion that Jesus Christ is the center of life, and the only true living breathing Son of God; another one of my favorite quotes from God’s Holy Word, and it sums it up as well, that Jesus Christ is the true God, it is in 1 John 5:20, and states it very plainly; “And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true, in His Son...

Global Terrorism

... Abstract September 11 was a very unique and sad day in the history of America. We were attacked by Terrorist from the Alqueada group in the very worst possible way. This attack was very brutal and symbolic. What sets the foundation of a country is generally its economy, security and its government. On that day America was attacked at all level.
