Summarize the PA State Bill

-Last action was on June 8, 2009 it was referred to Judiciary. 

Describe any recent action on you Philadelphia City Council bill.
 - The next meeting will be 10/1/2009 when it was Referred to the Committee on the Environment.

If you could have only one of your bills pass, which one would you
choose. Describe the reasons that you chose that particular bill over
the other bills.

- If there was a particular bill it would be the Health Care bill that openly supports public option.  I would want this bill to get passed as soom as psosible becuase of two reasons. One with people struggling to get supportive health care now it would be good that this bill was passed so people have the option to choose the perfect health coverage for them, their family and to find on the supports a secific condition that they have. The second reason is with this bill passed it will grantee my generation and others after me to be able to get sold coverage without having to worry when they are going to cut us off because of a 'pre-condition'. That will help because the generations of people currently are suffering from a boat load of different health issues big and small, increasing the changes of children aged 18 right now from getting reliable insurance once they are off of their parents. Common health problems amoung the people of today vary from overweight problems, increase in ashmatic people, smokers, drinkers and even teenagers that need specific preciptions for the not so common achne; which got worse from the high amounts of sugar inthe MAJORITY of foods we eat. This bill will not only help thoses now and in the future but it was also help economically in our country. How can I not want this act to pass?

- As of right nowon the national level the most talked about bill and most focused on in words of political campigning would be America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009; Representative John Dingell.

Creating an environment that gives students a place to live, learn and create. The vision for Shannel Antoinette Academy is to develop a students education exposing students to a learning experiences that involves hands on logical and creative thinking, also presenting the students to real-life situations that would require them to make decisions thinking of the long term results. Including ways that will make learning easier and enjoyable for students.

Individual each student will interpret a lesson or real-life experience different. During their time in this institution the
student will gain logical skills of thinking long term, how their decisions effect others around them and which ever choice they make is it for pleasure or for their own good. One way to prepare students for what life after school is like it put them into the situation. You access how they incorporate what they learned in mathematics to be able to tell which cable deal may be worth paying for and is the cheapest. 

Their learning will include different scenarios that are most common throughout America. After their months learning the
project would be for them to handle each situation the best they can. One student might have just hit the lottery, have to choice between accepting the money all at once or overtime. Then how will they invest that money, and so that each student can't take the easy way out there will be a list of choices that they are given. Another student might be a single parent with two kids who is on a tight budget. The children might be smart enough to get scholarships to a great school: that’s for high school (private) or a college. Its a life learning lesson that they experience just like any American might be going
through at that moment. The lesson is also an expansion from the well-known baby lesson you go through in health class. This life lesson is their 'fake crying baby' and the student will have to take care of it and make the right decisions needed to survive and keep the 'fake baby' happy.

The school values its way of twisting the learning system. In this school will still have students attend classes of the
norm such as algebra, English, and history But with our Life-Learning we will have that algebra class not consist of Xs but of income dollars, English will be more 'dramatic' in ways, why read and write when you can act and analyze? Being able to understand what has caused the future to be what it is would have students learning the past. When students look at why Obama, Mike Myers, and the Democrat Party is pressing the current Health Care Issue. Where the health care system has taken a turn for the worse and if it isn't changed how will it affect our futures? This institution values the students’ core interpretation of what they are learning, how they will take that with them along the way, and if they still have a basis of the 'traditional' education of what is needed to survive in and after college.

Compared to "traditional" school the structure of Shannel Antoinette Academy will be a life related as possible. Our main Life-Learning Program will prepare students at early ages how demanding and stressful their lives can get after school. Its will prepare students mentally for their future's which is their decision to make. This school will prepare them in the living aspect for college and years in to adulthood. Hopefully it will go beyond that and the lessons would just teach them to
appreciate the learning that they have access to. Help the students to strive for the betterment of them, encourage them to find their passionate calling that makes them happy and keeps them motivated through all their hardships. In 'traditional' schools they emphasize on how society looks at their scores and numbers. In this academy we teach them how they as an individual can be more then what society wants them to be, when they believe they are more than a test score, more then a number society has no CHOCIE but to accept them and work to fit them not the other way around. Proving that society is always changing and there's always time for them to shine and strive to make it happen.

there any obvious similarities and differences in the type of subjects
that each level of government is covering?

   - Each bill is different, House Bill: Gun Defense Rights, PA Sate Bill: Child Custody Laws, and City Council Bil:Electronic Recycling. Each bill has a certain improtance and life long effect on our society nationally,state wide and locally. The only different between each level of government is that House Representatives have to handle bills that will effect all people throughout America.Then PA State representatives main focus are the bills and laws conserning Pennsylvania citizens. Last but not least is our City Council main priorityis focused on Philadelphia's current issues. If its from the city's budget to electronic recycling.

In Breaking That Smoking Habit 7 , I mentioned that there were many different ways to quit smoking. Well two of them that I wanted to talk about was step by step guides and therapy treatments.

 First you must be wondering how these “step by step” guides for quitting smoking works? Well there are plenty of different quitting sites that all have their won different type of guidelines. One site I looked up ways called Quit4Good: The Free Quit Smoking Website. On their website they have stated that “Provide visitors with a Free Guide with tons of valuable tips and procedures that just cannot be beat.” The Free Quit Smoking Guide consist of chapters such as Benefits of Exercise, What to Expect ,Ways to Quit, Completely Quitting, After Quitting, Find New Habits, Gaining Weight, After You Quit Smoking and so on.

After clicking the link that leads to their Free Quit Smoking Guide and after reading this part “Decide positively that you want to quit. There are no if's, and's, or butt's, that's it! Your quitting! Try to avoid negative thoughts about how difficult it might be, and concentrate on the benefits of success.” It looks like the very first steps is to get you mentally prepared and dedicated to quitting. The question I had for this though was that how can a smoker want to positively quite when nicotine is cigarettes tell the brain otherwise? Nicotine gives smokers pleasure, I think that no matter what you are trying to quit or change its going to e hard to give up something that is so “good”.

Well if a smoker may not be mentally capable of quitting smoking then try to physically stop it. What I mean by that is quit smoking using a laser treatment. At Laser Care this treatment doesn’t only help you stop smoking but also includes a weight loss treatment and stress relief. “The stop smoking laser therapy treatment is the easiest way I know.” That is what many of their clients told them.

This treatment will take care of the addiction through the physical aspects. The way this work is they take an pulsating light that is absorbed by the skin which stimulates endorphins. Its also is absorbed by the cells at acupressure points. It is known that LaserCare get rid of the urge to smoke, helps stress relief and increase your fat- burning metabolism.
 

My topic headline states “ Breaking That Smoking Habit”. Well there are ways to quit that habit. This goes beyond just staying you are and then put out that cigarette you was smoking and walk away.

Its very refreshing to be able to say that there are actually MANY different ways to quit this addiction of yours. Some ways are using medications, gums, therapy treatments and step by step guides. If an smoker is considering the option of using medication to stop smoking then here is an example of one: its called Chantix. Chantix: Stop-smoking medication to help you quit “Chantix works by blocking the effect that nicotine has on the brain.”. Basically the purpose of this medication is that when its blocking the effects nicotine has on the brain, if you happen to slip up and smoke a cigarette it wouldn’t seem as enjoyable as before. Since nicotine effect on the brain is that its pleasurable.

Surprisingly another medication called Nicorette works in a different way. This medicine gives the smokers the nicotine that the brains craves. The upside is that its not like the cigarette that has 3,999 other chemicals destroying your lungs and inhalation. Anyway it is instructed that the user 9 pieces of the gum per day during there first 6 weeks. Then after that you slowly reduce the number of gum pieces you chew per day until you don’t need the nicotine at all. If using this gum has a helping aid I would suggest that a flaw to this would be that if the smoker slips up and smokes a cigarette the amount of nicotine they get from that would be more satisfying then the gum, so they just might go back to smoking.
