SLIDE 1 INTRODUCTION.
SLIDE 2:
ALS was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot, A French professor and is known the father of French neurology and one of the world’s pioneers of neurology
Lou Gehrig was known as one of baseball’s greatest players. He was known as the “iron horse” for playing 2130 consecutive games. His streak was ended after he developed muscle weakness because of ALS.
The brain sends messages via the motor neurons to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The degeneration of the motor neurons from ALS leads eventually to their neurons death. After these neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control the muscle is lost. Voluntary muscle action is progressively affected, individuals in their later stages of the disease soon become totally paralyzed.
SLIDE 3:
ALS is estimated to kill two people per 100,000 population annually.
For every 100,000 people two people will be diagnosed each year with 5,600 new diagnosed yearly. 30,000 Americans are to be suspected to have the disease at any given time.
The life expectancy of an ALS patient averages about two to five years from the time of diagnosis, this disease is variable and many people live with quality for five years and more. More than half of all patients live more than three years after diagnosis.
There are people that have ALS that the disease stopped progressing and only a few number of people that the symptoms of reserved
SLIDE 4:
With 15 new cases of ALS diagnosed daily, the ALS CARE Database of 30,000 is made 60% up of men which 93% of all patients are Caucasian.
Most people who develop are in the 40-70 age range with the average age of 55 at the time of diagnosis, however people in their twenties and thirties also are diagnosed.
ALS is 20% more common in men than in women but with increasing age, ALS is more equal between men and women
SLIDE 5:
There is no one test or procedure to positively diagnosis ALS. Through clinical examination and series of diagnostic tests, this can rule out other diseases that mimic ALS
Electo diagnostics such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NVC) are currently being used to try and diagnosing ALS.
Blood and Urine tests such as checking high resolution serum protein electrophoresis, thyroid and parathyroid hormone levels and 24-hour urine collection for heavy metals

Read off the slide at a interval. This slide does not require additional information, it is already to the point.
SLIDE 7:
The most common form of ALS in the United States is “sporadic” ALS. This category can affect anyone, anywhere.
“Familial” ALS (FALS) means the disease is inherited. Only about 5 to 10% of all ALS patients appear to have genetic or inherited form of ALS.
In these families, there is a 50% chance each offspring will inherit the gene mutation and may develop the disease.
SLIDE 8:
Prenatal genetic testing technology for FALS mutations exist when there is a known mutation within the family
The test is a blood sample taken and sent to a specialized lab, the test takes two to three months and 300-500 per and 4000 for a panel which is multiple tests at one time.

Charity fraud
In the year 2005, there was an earthquake that hit Haiti, and it was terrible. However, during that period, other individuals wanted to make money out of it. They tried their best to copy the charity organizations already in place like Red Cross or form new ones. This was done by most of the organizations by sending out emails that looked like those of the actual organizations which were being impersonated. According to the fraud organizations, the websites tried their level best to appeal to the people who were being reached out to help as the situation was devastating.
This had a significant effect on several organizations after individuals realized that some of the websites and organizations were fake and not real. For example, the red cross suffered from a lack of funds from some of its benefactors since some of them fell into the wrong side of the fake organizations, and their money got stolen in the name of assisting those in need.
Even though it is growing every day, the fraud ways different people use to get money are becoming a threat, and there is a need to stop them. Different organizations have brought in different methods and ways to prove that it is their organization. The government is also helping a lot. For example, some preventive measures can have a code to give to the customers and make sure that the code somehow helps those supporters realize that the organization is genuine. Another way would be for customers to check if the organization is registered.
Crime and fraud are set to increase and become more in the future with the continued technology. However, that does not mean the efforts will be less. On the contrary, it also means that efforts to combat the same will be made even more, and there will be a big challenge between the side of the law and the side of the lawbreakers, and the lawbreakers will do all possible to hide.

Music In The 1960s
Music In The 1960s
In the mid 1960,s a number of rock and roll bands crossed into America in droves after being inspired by the success of the Beatles who had already made a breakthrough in America. The bands way of playing differed as they played a wide variety of rock which included hard rock, kinks and Herman’s Hermit
Most of the bands that took place in the invasion were playing blues or pop, with loud guitars and melodies. Between the years 1964 to 1966 the British topped the charts both in America and the United Kingdom. A second invasion occurred in the late 1960,s, many of the bands had become households name in the U.K and America.
By 1962, driven by the attitude that anyone could sing and the popularity of rock, most British teenagers developed interest in American rock and roll which they blended with local beats and came up with music that they played and sang proudly. Groups of young people with electric powered guitars began composing tunes such as melodic pop and electric blues. The defiant tune and image of the blues musicians was well received by the British youth and ultimately influenced the Artists of the popular invasion.
The arrival of the Beatles to New York on the 7th of February 1964 is recognized as the occasion which led to other pop and rock groups cross into America, even though there had been earlier attempts in 1950,s, none had succeeded like the Beatles.
The Beatles formed in 1960. Was from Liverpool and played a major role in the invasion .they were the most successful music group in the sixties, selling about over a billion records world wide, releasing over 40 singles and leaving a legacy of being the group topped both the United Kingdom and United States of America charts.
Liverpool was the place where one could find the latest American hits before they were circulated in the other parts of Britain, this was because Liverpool being a seaport most of the sailors who visited the United States came back with the music.
The Beatles first public appearance in public in the United States was on a show hosted by Ed Sullivan on 9th February 1964. The studio had the capacity of only 703 seats but a record 50,000 people requested for seats at the studio and another estimated 73 million watched on television, as the Beatles performed five songs.
The Beatles right away became a house hold name in rock music and the most known music group, but at the end of the 60s the Beatle members went separate ways to begin solo careers. Another type of music known as Motown music it was produced by the first black owned company which was known for catchy lyrics.
Rock music had some negative aspects; it began to be associated with drugs. This was after a singer from the group Doors died of drug overdose
Other groups that made an impact apart from the Beatles were, the Pace makers, quintet and also the Dakotas. The first British music group that made it to the Americas top hit singles chart was the Tornados, a little time later the Beatles followed suit and soon the rest of the groups joined in 1963. Not all of the performances by successful British artists were successful in the United States of America like the case of Cliff Richard.
By 1964 London was the resident to a dozen musical groups like, rolling stones Dusty Springfield and many more. Newcastle was home to groups like the Animals, Birmingham was home to the moody blues, Belfast had the music group as the zombies.
From the year 1964 to 1966 scores of British artists went across the Atlantic into the United States of America following on the footsteps of the now successful Beatles, groups such as Manfred Mann, Petula Clark, Donavan’s and many more.
Right through 1966 and 1967, a movement which was opposed the war became an astonishingly very important concern in the political landscape of America. The movement received support of the most influential politicians, and eventually the movement gained support from the west coast through the hard work of the musical groups which had the support of most of the youth.
The musical icons included John Lennon, Jimmy Hendrix, and others. When addressing the audience, the icons saw them as a faction that could run the society in the best way they wanted, and oppose the authority .The music brought out the belief they shared on the war in Vietnam and the political state in America.
In the 1960s the music had a big role in addressing social problems such as war, and other forms of social repression that was seen as the major reason for the youth protests. The bands played to mammoth crowds to tackle such issues. But none of the events could have impacted more than the Woodstock festival that took place just outside New York City from the 15th to 18th August 1969. This was viewed as the peak after years of revolutions around the world; more than 500,000 came together to listen and watch the performance by some of the most established in the world.
