Edith Windsor the woman who made history on June 26th, 2013 fought the Supreme Court claiming that Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional. Edith and her partner Thea Spyer were together for 40 years and married in 2007. After her partner died in 2009, she could not receive the same benefits that a opposite sex couple could and was told to pay $363,000 in estate taxes. With DOMA, Edith was not considered a spouse by the federal government and this made her ineligible to receive the tax benefits of a married couple. The federal tax code recognizes that it is unfair to tax spouses when property is received upon death. Also some states have a benefit that exempts Property Tax upon a spouse 's death. Which in a heterosexual marriage if a spouse passes the property is just passed along as without paying estate taxes. Edith spent an estimated $600,000 to pay the state and federal taxes to receive her partners’ home. This injustice made her fight for her rights which brought the case of the United States v. Windsor. Her courage has opened new doors for same sex partners.…

Vivian Thomas was a black man living in a time of great prejudice in our country. He was very intelligent and skilled in the field of medicine and was an asset to the scientists and doctors trying to find a cure for the "blue baby" syndrome. He had great determination and humility while being faced with prejudice from so many people and is an inspiration to not only the African American scientists and medical professionals who followed him, but for many people even today who hear his story. Vivian Thomas's talents and character traits were given to him by God to be used even in the face of so many trials, and I believe, after hearing his story that God uses the trials in our lives to make us into the people he wants us to be.…

Since her physical assessment in 2010, Ms. Tennyson was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, primarily in her knees. Her mobility has become restricted, which makes her susceptible to lethargy. In order to increase elasticity and stamina, I advise physical therapy. Our current Physiotherapist has made significant progress, and thus Ms. Tennyson should continue to make improvements to her mobility. Ms. Tennyson was diagnosed with Huntington's disease in 2007. The outcome of this illness causes mild dementia, and disorientation. It would be therapeutic for her to reflect and reminisce about her childhood through photos and memorabilia, as well engage in her favourite hobbies. Ms. Tennyson’s spatial awareness and cognition is restricted, which causes her to be irritable at times. Please be wary that she will easily become agitated and this may aggravate her previously diagnosed hypertension.…
