Biomedical trade group opens office at Sirti

Biomedical trade group opens office at Sirti

Journal of Business, May 21, 2009 by Gustafson, Jeanne

The Washington Biotechnology & Biomedical Association, a nonprofit trade group for life-sciences enterprises, has opened an office in the Sirti Building on the Riverpoint Campus here.

Chris Rivera, WBBA’s president, says the organization, which has just one other office, located in Seattle, has wanted to establish a presence in Eastern Washington to help support its mission to foster businesses derived from life-sciences innovations.

The organization will occupy about 150 square feet of space in the Sirti Building, located at 665 N. Riverpoint here. WBBA will have a staff member on site one day a week, and in exchange for the space, will provide Sirti membership in that organization, says Tim Williams, Sirti’s director of administration and finance.

Rivera says WBBA is focused on helping life-science researchers translate their innovations into commercial products, both through direct support and through public policy advocacy

This way, I learn

This way, I learn the many different factors influencing my patient?s well-being and can get to the root causes. I can?t do this in twelve, even 20 minutes. Sometimes a potential patient will ask why my appointments are longer than usual. I explain that my conventional medical training taught me to listen for symptoms then quickly order tests or write prescriptions. This model lets physicians see a large number of patients in a short amount of time. However, drugs and surgery silence symptoms, but rarely change the underlying disease. This never made sense to me, and I sought a different approach.

Restoring Health.

I don?t fight disease. I help my patients restore their health. Each patient leaves with a regimen designed to create the causes and conditions for health. With that, their own self-healing ability, an idea that goes back to at least Hippocrates, cures their ailments.

Community baby shower held

Community baby shower held

WAVERLY, N.Y. — Seven pregnant woman and two women who just recently had babies attended the Third Annual Baby Shower Saturday at Catholic Charities’ Tioga Outreach Center in Waverly, N.Y.

At the free event, they played games, ate food, and won gifts, said Melissa Whitmarsh, the emergency request coordinator at the Tioga Outreach Center.

Each was given a bag of supplies to take home, which contained items such as baby wash, a receiving blanket, and diapers.

Some of the women were new to the area, and the event was an opportunity to maybe make a new friend, organizers said.

The event is for any female who is pregnant or just had a baby, and organizers hope that among those who attend will be people in financial need, said Sue Howland, an employee of Catholic Charities.

The Tioga Outreach Center has a range of programs, including a program where members of the public — including Pennsylvania residents — can come once a month to obtain food, clothing, and personal care items free of charge, Whitmarsh said.

“This is a wonderful place,” said Cierra Harris of Waverly. “Sue (Howland) loves my kids.”

Other conditions that often respond

Other conditions that often respond to increased water intake include the reduction of headaches, muscle aches, hangovers, fatigue, constipation, and heartburn. Drinking enough water will also reduce fluid retention and edema. Sometimes it is difficult for people to understand that drinking lots of water actually decreases water retention. If you provide your body with ample amounts of pure water, it will not have to retain water in the tissues The body can become significantly dehydrated before we actually feel thirsty.

In the morning, you have a true need for water, but you may not feel it. For most people, the first liquid they consume is coffee, a beverage that sucks the water out of our cells.

Try this test: Before you eat or drink anything in the morning, sip about four ounces of water-no more. You will be surprised to see that in two to three minutes your mouth will feel parched. Drink another four ounces and in two to three minutes you will be thirsty again. You may have to repeat this six or more times before you are no longer thirsty. Add up all the four-ounce servings that you consumed, and you will discover your body?s true metabolic need for water.

One day on Earth in thousands of videos

One day on Earth in thousands of videos

Sunday Herald, The, Jul 25, 2010

COMING soon to a cinema near you: Jen Davies’s epic voyage to the greengrocers on Great Western Road. Or if that doesn’t grab you, how about Michael Richardson’s heroic quest to view a flat in Glasgow?

Citizen Kane they ain’t, but these everyday tales of Scottish life are set for the big screen as part of a groundbreaking documentary from Hollywood veteran Ridley Scott and Glaswegian Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald.

Three weeks of build-up came to a dramatic climax yesterday as filmmakers worldwide united for the historic project, which sets out to capture a comprehensive snapshot of one day in the life of planet Earth.

Backed by Google and its video-sharing website YouTube, the scheme will capture submissions from tens of thousands of movie fans across the globe, each documenting their experience of life on July 24.

Clips are expected to pour in from today onwards, with a hefty bundle originating in Scotland – the home of director Kevin Macdonald, best-known for The Last King Of Scotland and the Academy Award-winning One Day In September, about the 1972 Munich Olympics.

With adverts running on the Google homepage, the two directors have been given an unprecedented chance to tap into billions of web users worldwide, applying the new phenomenon of “crowdsourcing” to silver screen production.

While some users were preparing to capture major events, including the Inverness Highland Games and a world music festival at the National Museum of Scotland, others were drawn by the apparently mundane facets of existence.

Jen Davies, 27, communications director at the Glasgow Film Theatre, was putting together footage of her day of “mooching” in Glasgow’s west end.

She will showcase her morning trip to the grocers, with video of her and her friends relaxing around town later in the day – outwardly unremarkable scenes, but events which she hopes will prove fascinating to viewers in sub-Saharan Africa or the Australian outback.

“I like the fact that it’s just one day, and it’s all over the world,” Davies said. “It’s an interesting experiment, a picture of the world at one certain time. I think that’s what’s wonderful about it, that people could be watching it worldwide.”

Her friend Michael Richardson was expecting to upload footage of his hunt for a flat in the city.

Gerry Reynolds, organiser of the Inverness Highland Games, was delighted when Google approached him to suggest his guests take part.

“It’s a great honour,” he said. “Inverness is such a beautiful city, and they won’t just be filming a day in the life of the games – anyone walking past will become part of it.”

Those uploading content to the site had the chance to win one of 20 passes to the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in Utah, where the finished product will be screened next January, and every participant who makes the cut will be given a credit as a co- director.

Speaking in a documentary made alongside the project, Macdonald said he was thrilled to think he could be producing a time capsule that could be of use to future generations.

He likened the scheme to the Mass Observation Project, a scheme begun in the 1930s that recorded details of everyday existence in the form of diaries and notes

Monkey See, Monkey Sue (for Legal Custody)

Monkey See, Monkey Sue (for Legal Custody)

Newsweek, August, 2007 by Sanhita Sen

Are chimpanzees more like babies or bicycles? Put another way: are they beings with basic rights, or property to be returned to an owner? The answer may decide the fate of Emma and Jackson, two chimps at the center of a custody battle between animal sanctuaries in Texas and Oregon.

The pair were among more than 200 animals removed from San Antonio’s Primarily Primates Inc. after the facility was sued last year for misusing funds and maintaining unsanitary and dangerous conditions. Now the suit has been settled, and PPI is petitioning to reclaim some of the creatures. Emma and Jackson’s new home, Oregon’s Chimps, Inc., doesn’t want to return them

Stutter or stuttering can

Stutter or stuttering can have a dramatic effect on somebodys confidence.

Fluent people really can not comprehend how hard it is to live your life with a speech impediment or stutter.

I run one to one speech courses in Birmingham and one of my clients once told me about a situation he was involved in. He and his friends went to a bar one Saturday afternoon to have a few drinks. After a couple of pints he went up to the bar to order himself a drink. Unfortunately he could not speak all of the words fluently and the bar man accused him of being drunk and refused to serve him. He tried to explain that he was not drunk but had a stutter but the bar man said
“That’s what they all say”

He returned to his friends who asked him where his drink was.
He told them what had happened, this itself was very embarressing.

This is a typical situation people who have a stutter find themselves in.

Mail; Charleston, W.V. – INTO THE GARDEN:

INTO THE GARDEN:

0 Comments | Sunday Gazette – Mail; Charleston, W.V., Jan 27, 2008 | by Sara Busse

If you think The Beatles were popular in the ’60s, you haven’t seen anything yet.

I visited the West Virginia Department of Agriculture’s Insect Museum, and I met perhaps the biggest beetle fan since the mop- haired lads from England wanted to hold our hands. But these beetles don’t sing, they just sit quietly in their little wooden display cases.

Laura Miller, whose official title is taxonomic entomologist, is actually a cross between a museum curator, a librarian, an explorer, a researcher and a laboratory technician. She walks between the 70- plus cabinets of the state’s insect collection like a proud mama.

It looks innocuous enough when you arrive; the wood-tone cabinets look like they hold files. Then Laura opens a door and slides out a wooden case with a glass top, and visitors get to see the wildlife that’s hiding behind those cupboard doors.

There are a quarter-million cataloged insects in there! There are butterflies, moths, pretty things, mean-looking creatures – and a whole lot of beetles. Probably a good third of the collection is Coleoptera, or beetle.

There’s even a beetle that’s blue and gold, and it graces the logo of the entomologists group in West Virginia. One particular case has beetles with evil-looking pincers on them. Of course, those are on the males, and they are used to fight for female attention, Laura explained with a laugh.

Laura truly loves insects. She admits they are all intent on eating away at our plant life, but she said part of the reason they become pests is because their natural predators and their natural habitats are often shrinking due to man’s sprawl.

Weeds? Laura loves ‘em. I want to invite her over just because she would actually appreciate my weeds! She said she’s not too happy when she encounters a perfect lawn, complete with perfect flower beds
