The Pacers Foundation is an organization based in Indianapolis, Indiana that is dedicated to improving the lives of young people in central Indiana and is operated by the Indiana Pacers. The mission statement of the organization states “We seek to empower young people and invest in community partnerships addressing equity and justice in education, health, and safety” (2023). The foundation uses the resources and influence of the Indiana Pacers to make a difference and fulfill their mission. The organization is a great example of how a sports program can change and impact their local community and the lives of others.
The foundation acts out their mission for health by providing basketball camps and basketball development programs for the local youth. The programs focus on creating healthy lifestyles by providing opportunities for local youth to develop their athletic skills and compete with their peers. The foundation also hosts a variety of community events that focus on both physical and mental health. The foundation fulfills their educational mission by providing scholarships to high school seniors and developing mentorship programs for students. Additionally, the Pacers Foundation partners with local schools to develop programs that combine educational and physical activities that keep students engaged and motivated in their studies. The foundation is accessible to children from all backgrounds and ensures that everyone has the opportunity to participate in their community, educational, and athletic events. Local businesses, donors, and volunteers ensure that these programs are free and donate equipment, money, and their time to the organization. The foundation also places an emphasis on safety and ensures that all participants have access to a safe and welcoming environment. The foundation also provides opportunities for students to attend Pacers games and meet the players from the team. Many children do not have the opportunity to attend professional sporting events and this is a great opportunity for them to become involved and learn about competitive sports.
The foundation is a great resource for local students in central Indiana and provides many opportunities for underprivileged young people. While the foundation may not be faith based, I believe that the foundation follows the Biblical principles of fellowship, health, safety, and speaking up for those who may not have a voice. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy” (New International Version, 2011, Proverbs 31:8-9). The foundation is a perfect example of bringing this verse to life and provides many opportunities for the underprivileged youth of central Indiana.

The sport organization that I have chosen for my discussion is a sport organization based in the Portland metropolitan area called the Multnomah Athletic Foundation. The Multnomah Athletic Foundation focuses on an emphasis upon sports and education, with a target population in impoverished communities. The mission of the organization is to provide educational and sport opportunities, while also making sure youth are reaching their full potential through learning and working together through athletics. The foundation fulfills this in several ways through grants, scholarships, and events. Often as a child I grew up in a community somewhere I wished there was an organization such as this one, being from a single parent home my mom always looked for opportunities to find grants for me to attend college to attend for a lower cost which is what this organization provides.
In the Multnomah foundation the grants provided have high regard towards those that in deficit of resources and opportunities, looking further into some of the awards it does not seem that they just emphasize on one sport but sports such as golf, and sportsmanship characteristics of athletes pertaining to enthusiasm, and passion while playing. The foundation also has awards for grant partners contributions to youth athletic participation which does seem to fall in category with the overall idea of continuously funding the foundation so the overall goal of supporting these communities can take place. The organizations efforts to support underprivileged communities also provides intentional ways to support through such events as information sessions which provides individuals the opportunity to volunteer or those who are new to ask questions and gain answers, this method is strategic in a sense that it allows those who are wanting to support the mission of the foundation to engage and provide help where needed. One thing I did learn and did enjoy about this foundation is that the organization has something called MAF Week where this week collaborates with those from the community with engaging sport participating events such as a spinathon where each hour that someone rides a rider is contributing $125 to the organization which is a great way to get those involved in a fun filled way to support, there also is a great event for student-athletes to engage in a roundtable conversation with former collegiate athletes and professional athletes on ways to leverage themselves with their athletic abilities and for life skills, this event works out perfectly since the mission does not just emphasize sports to athletes but their future endeavors that can translate through education.(Multnomah Athletic Foundation, 2020)

Reap the Harvest Sports outreach is a growing industry. Reap the Harvest is one specific outreach program that I have been able to be apart of that reflects the love of Christ and sharing His word through athletics. This sports outreach program was made up by a Liberty Football player, this programs goal is to be able to share the Gospel through the sport of football. This is for youth athletes, but along with these athletes, their families are able to come and enjoy different events and activities. The main verse for this sports outreach program is Matthew 9:37, “… the Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” (Holman Bibles, 2017). Through this outreach, a lot of the football players come out and coach these young athletes. During this time they come out and learn not only about football, but about who Jesus is! The athletes and players from the Liberty football team share their personal testimonies and experiences while having deep discussions about faith, character, and endurance during these events. Young players frequently practice football drills in addition to having discussions about Jesus' teachings, which gives the program a unique combination of spiritual and physical development. The program promotes a sense of community and collaboration by providing an environment of encouragement in which players and their families can grow together in both sport and faith.
In addition, Reap the Harvest organizes a range of activities outside of training for football, such as welcoming to families events, spiritual events, and helping others. The activities highlight the program's dedication to complete growth and help in the formation of strong relationships among participants. The outreach also shows how faith may be easy to incorporate into every part of life, serving as a reminder of the larger goal of sharing Christ's message throughout everyday events. In addition to improving the lives of the young athletes, this strategy encourages deeper connections between the families and communities and the athletes themselves.
This event helps give back to the community in many different ways. It gives another perspective for young athletes to help reach their goals by pursing it through Christ.
Luke 6:28: “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
This verse connects well with this outreach program because when you give or help others you will see it be giving back to you from god.

When our Founding Fathers drafted the First Amendment, they obviously could not imagine how the ways in which we communicate and share information would change. One of the most debated topics is the First Amendment. Many people do not understand what is or is not protected under the First Amendment.
What does the First Amendment mean to you and how do you think it applies to social media use?
You can find the First Amendment and some additional information to help your argument here:

Q9
An important part of college, and any content creation, is organizing and storing your information. When you write an academic paper, part of what you will do is use other people's research to support your assertions. When you do this, you have to properly quote and cite this information (or paraphrase with citation), and then reference this information. When in college, the typical citation methods include APA, MLA, and Chicago. In addition, there are others such as AP, AMA, Bluebook, and IEEE.
Q10
Paso 1 : Read about the Kamba of Paraguay (opens in a new window)
Links to an external site. [plain text: https://owaahh.com/the-kamba-of-paraguay/] Did you know that there are subtribes of the Kenyan community in South America? Read the article by Owaahh to familiarize yourself with the Kamba of Paraguay. BONO: There is an extra video at the end of the article that you may want to view as well.
Paso 2 : Watch these videos about the Kamba
1. Kamba video 1 (opens in a new window)
Links to an external site. [plain text: https://youtu.be/lIvVYWC-pig?si=Nve8NXL6Nx69fd2j]
Kamba video 2 (opens in a new window)
1. Links to an external site. [plain text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Op4-nZypCQ&t=2s]
Watch this short news clip about the Kamba. Take special note about the preservation of their cultural practices and traditions.
Paso 3 : Watch this video about the Manjani
The Imani Dance and Drum Company perform the Manjani, a West African dance that celebrates an important event such as the harvest (as in this performance), a wedding, or a naming ceremony. This performance segment focuses on the musicians as much as the dancers, showing the important relationship between the two groups.
Kamba Kua, which in Guarani, the native language of Paraguay, means "place of the black." Think about the origin of the Kamba Kua tribes and some of the ways in which the preservation of their culture and beliefs continue on today. Reflect on the following points:
Reflect :
1. What is your initial reaction? Why?
2. What interests you about it?
3. What role does music and/or dance play in your family or culture?
Analyze :
1. African music and dance have had a far-reaching influence on styles of music and dance popular today. Do you see similarities between the Kamba Kua and Manjani?
2. Yaya Diallo described many different roles that dancing plays in West Africa. How do you see this at work in the video you watched about the Kambua Cua?
3. Respond to at least two (2) of your classmates (minimum of 50 words each response).
Your thoughtful, personal reflection and analysis should be written at a college level with a a minimum of 80-100 words. If you seek outside sources, please cite them. Using ChatGPT and other large language model AI programs is NOT permitted for this assignment.
¡Ojo!
· Make sure to cite your sources (if you use additional sources) and write a college level reflection/analysis ( ca. 100-150 words).
· Read below about what is in a reflection/analysis.
· Do not write a report!
Select one of the following discussion questions below. Post a substantive initial response with references
Option 1: Describe the role of nurses in developing health policy addressing each of the three components listed: a) legislative action, b) regulatory action, and c) nursing advocacy. The role of developing "health policy" is not developing "policy and procedure" where you work.
Option 2: Choose an environmental health issue or concern in our local community. Local communities can include specific towns/cities, Monroe County, or Florida. Provide an overview of the hazard, including its effect on people, the interventions that could or should take place, and the role that nurses should play in reducing or eliminating this hazard.
You must first be sure there is sufficient information available to write your summary. DO NOT select a topic which has limited source information or is fictional (Biblical cases, the Trojan Horse, etc.).
Share your topic here in this assignment and I will review and approve, or we will have a discussion about appropriateness, context, focus, and depth. I want to make sure you have a topic that will allow you to be successful.
Remember, this summary asks you to "critique" the operation of your choice. That means drawing your own conclusions and presenting those conclusions as your thesis/premise for the summary. You can use the M and A approach for an evaluation of success or failure, you can use evaluate the operation on the main components of every D&D operation (per your readings). In the end, your summary is not a history summary, it is a critical evaluation.
The following are some suggested topics to get you started. I hope you will be creative and find a topic on your own (only use one from the list below if you are truly stuck). This selection is intended to provide a variety of interesting examples of Denial and Deception from different time periods, in military and non-military applications.
1.) Patton's phantom army and the D Day Invasion
2.) Schwarzkopf's threat of a Persian Gulf landing against Saddam
3.) India's nuclear testing deception
4.) Drug trafficker operations to keep the Andean Air Bridge operating
5.) Serbian deception of the US and NATO during the air war
6.) Sadat's deception of Israel in launching the 1973 Arab-Israeli War
7.) Allenby's deceptions against Arab forces in Palestine
Please provide a few sentences explaining your case.
