<i><span style="font-size: large;">World Leprosy Day helps to focus on the needs of some of the
poorest and most marginalized people in the world – those affected by leprosy.
It helps to tell the story to people who do not know that leprosy still exists
and that it can now be cured. It also helps raise funds so that those with
leprosy can be cured and cared for.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">Spread the word that every two minutes someone is diagnosed
with leprosy.</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Even though it is curable, many people with Leprosy and Buruli ulcer are stigmatized and shunned from their communities – at times comparable to that of biblical times.</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">“Every two minutes someone is diagnosed with leprosy,” says
American Leprosy Missions President and CEO Bill Simmons. “For more than 100
years, American Leprosy Missions has been working to cure leprosy, care for
those damaged by the disease and ultimately bring an end to leprosy. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Each year,
World Leprosy Day is a time to pause and be thankful for the many people who
have been cured of leprosy. But it is also a time to remember the thousands of
people who will contract leprosy this year and the millions who suffer from
disabilities caused by this terrible disease. We must not forget, that in many
parts of the world, leprosy is still a public health problem. So we encourage
everyone to join us in observing World Leprosy Day.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Armadillos aren’t what you’d call cute and cuddly: Their
beady eyes, scaly skin, and bony shell give them the appearance of a rat
masquerading as a lobster. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>But the mammals are pretty tough when they roll into a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Different though we may seem, humans and armadillos share an
unfortunate similarity—we’re the only animals that can naturally contract
Hansen’s disease, better known as leprosy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Leprosy is caused by the Mycobacterium leprae bacterium.
This nasty bug prefers slightly cooler temperatures, which is why in humans it
causes serious damage to the extremities. Unfortunately for our armored
friends, armadillos tend to have a lower core body temperature than most
mammals. This means the bacterium is free to go crazy throughout their body
cavity, eventually causing organ failure and death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“But in order to contract leprosy from an armadillo,” said
Loughry, “I always tell people you really have to want to, because it’s not
easy to get it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In other words, unless you butcher an armadillo while you
have open wounds on your hands, you’re unlikely to catch leprosy from one of
these animals.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If only the same were true for the armadillos. By sequencing
the bacterium’s genome, scientists have determined that leprosy didn’t exist in
the New World until Europeans arrived.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

It's still alive and well in Brazil and India and many other countries. There is a cure, and a blood test for early detection in Brazil, and they are now working on a vaccine. More to come later -- helping end one of the world's oldest known diseases!</span><br />

Father Damien Statue, also called the Saint Damien of Molokaʻi Statue, is the
centerpiece of the entrance to the Hawaiʻi State Capitol and the Hawaiʻi State
Legislature in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. A second bronze cast is displayed in the
National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol along with the
Kamehameha Statue. The landmark memorializes the famous Hawaiʻi Catholic Church
priest from Belgium who sacrificed his life for the lepers of the island of
Molokaʻi. Father Damien is considered one of the preeminent heroes of Hawaiʻi,
and was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 11, 2009. Cast in bronze, the

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>National Military Appreciation Month started as a simple idea; to gather America around its military family to honor, remember, recognize and appreciate those who have served and those now serving and to know the history behind it all. This idea was then legislated twice to achieve greater national attention and recognition. </em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Most intriguing to National Military Appreciation Month success is that it's built from the ground up by a handful of volunteers with genuine desire to build public patriotism, awareness and support for our troops and veterans.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>Because most holidays commemorating historical military events have become little more than three-day weekends lacking focus on their original purpose, this month is needed to remind us of the sacrifices and the history we as Americans have been privileged to participate in throughout the past 230 years.</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><em>As a nation, we observe and participate in various national cultural and social awareness events through mass media attention and educational curriculum. However, we have not allocated appropriate recognition of the most important presence in the world today, an entity that impacts each and every American in a significant way, the Armed Forces of the United States of America.</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The famous "throw up" kitty in our family. Almost all of the siblings has one I believe. When we grew up we only had hot cereal for breakfast, like oatmeal or Malt 'O Meal, etc. (One of my sisters and I didn't know about cold cereal until we started school). Milk went in the kitty cream pitcher and we'd pretend the kitty was throwing up on our cereal ! Obviously we were easily amused -- but so are our own kids! </span><br />

The Charlie Brown tree was bought for $2 at Walgreens clearance last year--perfect. The walls are green and with a black and white curtain, plus the red border, my son liked the idea of silver, red and black decorations--with plenty of green via the walls.</span></em><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;">The Truth 365 is a website dedicated to fighting and raising funds for childhood cancer, an underfunded form of cancer - in OUR CHILDREN !! They are using the power of Social Media to bring awareness to cancer in children !!</span><br />
<br />
First of all, the kid in this video is Taylor Love and she is the one who got me involved in this cause. Over 5 years ago I met her and her awesome family and my life will never be the same. <br />
<br />
The second reason is that Taylor is doing well right now and just got clear scan results. She has fought neuroblastoma and then chemo-induced leukemia requiring a bone marrow transplant and then kidney failure and then liver surgery this spring plus a bunch of other things that I have lost track of. <br />
<br />
The third reason is that the song is the theme song to our film. It is called “The Truth” and it is written by Nicole Ricken, a 14-year-old from the Chicago area. I met her this spring at a Pennies for Patients fundraiser at her school that was partially for Taylor Love. A few months later I went to Chicago to interview some families for the film and stopped in to meet with Nicole and her family. One of the amazing things was that she wrote this song the day before I got there. She and her family also flew in the DC-area on September 1 and Nicole played this at Ryan Raffel’s Celebration of Life.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Love's Baby Soft</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Watermelon Lip Smackers</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sun-In</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific</span></em></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Twenty years ago, Allie Denty was the pretty one and her best friend Olivia Pelham was the smart one. Throughout high school, they were inseparable…until a vicious rumor about Olivia— a rumor too close to the truth—ended their friendship. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Now, on the eve of their twentieth high school reunion, Allie, a temp worker, finds herself suddenly single, a little chubby, and feeling old. Olivia, a cool and successful magazine beauty editor in New York, realizes she’s lonely, and is finally ready to face her demons. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Sometimes hope lives in the future; sometimes it comes from the past; and sometimes, when every stupid thing goes wrong, it comes from a prettily packaged jar filled with scented cream and promises. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Beth Harbison has done it again. A hilarious and touching novel about friendship, Love’s Baby Soft perfume, Watermelon Lip Smackers, bad run-ins with Sun-In, and the healing power of “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific.” Hope in a Jar: we all need it. </span><br />
<br />
