Celebrate World Cerebral Palsy Day
Cerebral Palsy is a condition that’s sadly very common among people. No matter the conditions that cause it, Cerebral Palsy can be challenging to live with and can affect not only the person who has it but the loved ones that surround them. World Cerebral Palsy Day gives these families the ability to find better ways of handling Cerebral Palsy and helps spread awareness about the facts that come with Cerebral Palsy.
History of World Cerebral Palsy Day
Cerebral Palsy Day began with a small campaign called “Change My World in One Minute.” This project, started by Cerebral Palsy Alliance in Australia, sought for global change by allowing people to share ideas about new technologies and products that people with Cerebral Palsy could use to make their lives easier and better. Then, as time progressed, more ideas were spread out and called out to inventors to make them. Research teams from all over the world take part in this holiday, allowing new inventions to form and be presented at the CPA’s yearly event.
This day not only became a day for invention and innovation but also became a social movement. In 2015, the social change targeted vital issues that people with CP face all over the world. Hence, the CPA updated their website to provide tools and resources for people with CP. From there, Cerebral Palsy day became a way to make the lives of people with CP better technologically and socially. As it is a condition that at least 17 million people have, Cerebral Palsy Day helps bring awareness to CP, how to find resources to help those with CP and create an appreciation for those who work hard in research and technology towards a definite goal.

If You Were Born Today, October 6th
You are an idealistic, warm, and family-loving person. When you aren't feeling confident, you are prone to withdrawing, sometimes appearing aloof. It's certainly not because you are unfriendly. Instead, it's due to a somewhat cautious nature. You crave a spiritual connection with another person--something that lifts you above and beyond the ordinary. Routine bores you, yet you are not attracted to crises or high-change situations either, as security is essential to you. Highly creative, you need to express yourself in a few different avenues to derive the most satisfaction from life. Once befriended, you make a fabulously devoted companion, as you value quality over quantity in the people department. When you find people to adore, they are certainly well taken care of! Famous people born today:
1846 George Westinghouse, American entrepreneur and engineer (air brakes, alternating current system), born in Central Bridge, New York (d. 1914)
1906 Janet Gaynor, American actress (Sunrise, A Star Is Born), born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (d. 1984)
1914 Thor Heyerdahl, Norwegian anthropologist and explorer (Kon Tiki, Aku-Aku), born in Larvik (d. 2002)
1963 Elisabeth Shue, American actress (Cocktail, Back to the Future Part II), born in Wilmington, Delaware

As the first feature-length motion picture with not only a synchronized recorded music score, but also lip-synchronous singing and speech in several isolated sequences, its release heralded the commercial ascendance of sound films and ended the silent film era.
