Silver Saver – Nanotechnology Keeps the Shine on Silver – Video

Silver Saver - Nanotechnology Keeps the Shine on Silver
Scientists from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, University of Maryland, have teamed up with conservators from the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Md., to develop and test a new, high-tech way to protect silver art objects and artifacts, using coatings that are mere nanometers thick. The technique, called atomic layer deposition (ALD), will be used to create metal oxide films which, when applied to an artifact, are both transparent and optimized to reduce the rate of silver corrosion. The project is funded by the NSF #39;s SCIART grant program, which supports research in the field of cultural heritage science through the funding of collaborations among conservation experts in museums and scientists in academia. In April 2011 the National Science Foundation #39;s Science Nation web site, which highlights scientific discoveries for the public, debuted this video segment about the project called "Silver Saver," narrated by former CNN chief technology and environment correspondent Miles O #39;Brien.

Otago partners with University of Medicine (1) in Myanmar

Posted on by

The University of Otago has signed an agreement with the University of Medicine (1) in Myanmar (also known as Burma) to collaborate on research, training, and capacity building in areas including infectious disease.

Myanmar is the second largest country in Southeast Asia and home to more than 60 million people. In 2008 Myanmar embarked on a process of reforms towards a liberal democracy, a mixed economy, and reconciliation. These developments have opened opportunities for increased engagement with international partners, including with New Zealand. Based in Yangon, the University of Medicine (1) is Myanmars oldest medical school. University of Medicine (1) plays a major role in the training of medical doctors and allied health sciences professionals.

The Rector of University of Medicine (1), Professor Than Cho, says "we are delighted to be embarking on this new relationship with colleagues at the University of Otago.

"International partnerships help to strengthen our ability to address pressing national health needs. Much can be achieved by collaboration between the oldest and most distinguished universities in Myanmar and New Zealand."

University of Otago Vice-Chancellor Professor Harlene Hayne welcomed the initiative saying that universities have a duty to assist in reducing such health disparities worldwide through research, education, and service.

"I am excited that Otago is able to contribute to international progress by partnering with a major provider of health education, research, and service in Myanmar," Professor Hayne says.

Professor John Crump, McKinlay Professor of Global Health and Co-Director, Centre for International Health, says substantial, long-term collaborations with institutions in low-resource settings are the fundamental building blocks of global health initiatives by universities based in developed countries.

"These form the basis for meaningful exchange and activities in the areas of research, teaching, and service with a range of benefits for both partners," he says.

The collaboration between the University of Medicine (1) and the University of Otago will have an initial focus on research, training, and capacity building on infectious diseases and medical microbiology. However, it is anticipated that the relationship will expand over time to engage with a range of disciplines across the institutions both within and beyond the health sciences.

UT Medical School receives $50 million

Posted on by

AUSTIN (KXAN) - On Wednesday, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation announced that the organization is committing $50 million to help establish the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin.

In November, Travis County voters approved Proposition 1, which raised property taxes as the main source of revenue to support health care services in the area.

"Between the generosity of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and the great citizens of Travis County who voted to transform health care in the community, a powerful public-private partnership has emerged," said Gene Powell, chairman of the UT System Board of Regents. Austin is the new beneficiary of enhanced health care and countless economic development opportunities.

In addition to the $50 million, the Dell family foundation is donating another $10 million to Austin and Travis County community health quality and access programs over the next 10 years.

The Dell foundation was established in 1999. Since then, the organization has helped fun the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas as well as numerous other health services across Central Texas.

The Dell Medical School is scheduled to enroll its first class of 50 students in 2016.

UT Medical School receives $50 million

Dell Foundation pledges $50M toward UT medical school

Posted on by

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation will donate $50 million toward a new medical school at the University of Texas, along with $10 million dedicated to improving local healthcare.

The announcement came Wednesday at the foundation's headquarters.

UT's Board of Regents approved a medical school on campus last May. In November, Travis County voters passed Central Health Proposition 1, which raises property taxes to fund training for medical students. UT has agreed to fund the medical school itself, but the Dell Foundation's donation reduces a huge amount of its cost. According to a press release, the school will be named the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin.

"In addition to improved health outcomes, the medical school is going to attract leading medical practitioners and researchers to the Austin area," Michael Dell said. "That's going to spur all sorts of medical technology innovations, which will be available on an early basis to our entire community, and will also, I think, drive a new wave of economic growth around the biotech industry in Austin."

The foundation has donated more than $100 million toward healthcare in Central Texas since 2003, including $32 million for the Dell Children's Medical Center in East Austin.

Michael & Susan Dell Foundation Invests $50M to Establish the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas-Austin

Posted on by

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation announced today a new $50 million commitment to establish the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, the Dell family foundation committed another $10 million to Austin and Travis County community health quality and access programs over the next ten years. Since its inception in 1999, the foundation has invested nearly $1 billion in health and education programs around the globe, including $150 million over the past decade to promote family and childhood health in Central Texas.

"This gift truly saves lives," said UT System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa. "Investments in medical education, biomedical research, and health care touch all citizens. Nobody has done more for the people of Central Texas than Michael and Susan Dell. Their generosity not only benefits UT, it also lifts up our entire community. "

Gene Powell, Chairman of the UT System Board of Regents added, "Between the generosity of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and the great citizens of Travis County who voted to transform health care in the community, a powerful public-private partnership has emerged. Austin is the new beneficiary of enhanced health care, and countless economic development opportunities."

The Dell Medical School is scheduled to enroll its first class of 50 students in 2016.

"A medical school at UT-Austin further establishes Central Texas as a center of excellence for family health and research," said Susan Dell, co-founder and board chair of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. "UT is a world-class university, and the medical school will be able to attract top talent, advance medical research and practices, and improve family health for generations to come."

The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation previously funded $90 million of grants in the Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas, UT Austin's Dell Pediatric Research Institute, UT's Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living, and the Texas Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Childhood Obesity as well as basic health services like community clinics and health supports like electronic medical records and mobile health programs.

"No university could ask for better friends than Susan and Michael Dell, whose generosity has transformed the health care landscape," said UT Austin president Bill Powers. "The Dells' support has allowed UT Austin to conduct game-changing medical research and will now allow us to provide game-changing medical care."

The new medical school will provide community-focused medical services, bring more medical professionals to Austin and create jobs. It will build on the world-class scientific research that UT-Austin faculty are conducting in related disciplines and is expected to attract top faculty and students. Campus officials are currently seeking accreditation, working on state approvals, searching for permanent leadership and examining building sites for the medical school.

Dells Pledge $50 Million to Build Austin Medical School

Posted on by

Michael Dells family foundation will provide $50 million for a medical school to be built in Austin, Texas, plus $10 million for health care in the city.

The new Dell Medical School will be a partnership that includes the University of Texas, hospital group Seton Healthcare Family and Travis County, which encompasses Austin. The university, whose flagship campus is in the states capital city, runs medical schools in Dallas, Galveston, Houston, San Antonio and Tyler.

Dell, who dropped out of the state school in 1984 to start computer maker Dell Inc. (DELL), gave $38 million to help build a pediatric research center on the Austin campus in 2007, said Gary Susswein, a university spokesman. The Dell family foundation also provided $32 million for a childrens hospital in the city.

It is the right investment for our family, our university and our community, Dell said yesterday at a briefing to announce the latest gift. The effects of the medical school will be felt well beyond the campus.

The university plans to start building the facility this year and enroll students by 2016, said Austin campus President Bill Powers. Voters in the county approved raising taxes by 5 cents per $100 of assessed property value in November, partly to fund the new medical schools operations.

Dell Inc., where Michael Dell is chairman and chief executive officer, is the focus of a plan by the entrepreneur to take it private and regain majority control. The deal would combine Michael Dells almost 16 percent stake with as much as $1 billion of his personal funds in a buyout led by Silver Lake Management LLC and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), said people familiar with the matter. The company is based in suburban Round Rock and employs 14,000 in the Austin area, spokesman David Frink said.

Dell had a net worth estimated at more than $14 billion this week, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a daily ranking of the worlds richest people.

The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation pledged $5 million a year for a decade to support the medical school, officials said during the briefing at the charitable organizations Austin headquarters.

The foundations additional commitment of $10 million over a decade will go to support health quality and access programs in Travis County and Austin, according to a statement from the charitable organization.

Laura Lee – Love

Laura Lee - Love Liberty (1972)
American soul/gospel singer and songwriter Laura Lee had decent success on the Billboard Soul chart in the 60 #39;s 70 #39;s with 15 charted singles, with 10 of those making the Soul/R B Top 40, with her highest charter on the same chart with "Rip Off", which hit #3 on the Soul/R B chart but only got as high as #68 on Billboard #39;s Hot 100 chart in 1972. Lee didn #39;t have the same chart success on the Hot 100, with only one of those entries making the Top 40 (the #36 hit in 1971, Women #39;s Love Rights). Her 1968 single, As Long As I Got You, Bubbled Under the Hot 100 at #123 (but hit #31 on the Soul/R B chart that same year). Lee released Love Liberty in 1971, which hit #23 on the Soul/R B chart, but fared less successful on the Hot 100, where it reached a lowly #94. Lee still continues to perform and record gospel music, and has even become as ordained minister.
