The Myth of the Scientist: Crystal Dilworth at TEDxYouth@Caltech
Crystal Dilworth has a BS in biochemistry from UC San Diego, and is currently working on her Ph.D. in molecular neuroscience in the lab of Henry A. Lester at Caltech. Crystal is a violinist, former nationally ranked Rhythmic Gymnast, former professional modern dancer and choreographer, an active member of the Caltech theater community, and a member of the team behind PHDComics.com/tv. As a scientist and communicator, Crystal hopes to chip away the mystique of the academic "ivory tower" and reveal researchers and their work as human, relevant, and "cool." In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) TEDxYouth@Caltech was held on January 19, 2013, at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, CA.

Irish Sports Council Publish 2012 Anti-Doping Testing Figures
The Irish Sports Council today published their anti-doping test figures for 2012. The national programme saw 787 tests across 31 sports in 2012. This is a decrease from previous years but is due to a more targeted programme and a major increase in blood testing to 133 over the course of the year. The data showed there were eight anti-doping rule violations in 2012. Four of these violations arose from a substance found in supplements and four were related to cannabis which is a prohibited substance. Minister of State Michael Ring, commenting on the figures said The Irish anti-doping programme is very strong and I want to commend Professor Buckley and the Irish Sports Council for their continuing excellence in this area. It is an international issue and that is why I was delighted to be able to have dialogue with the senior representatives from WADA today. I have made it a priority during the EU Presidency to advance the battle against doping. Information was also published on "Whereabouts Failures". For individual sports there were 18 "Filing Failures" and 3 "Missed Tests". Three indiscretions of this kind can lead to an athlete receiving a sanction which to date has not arisen under the Irish Anti-Doping Rules. In team sports there were 12 "Unsuccessful Attempts" including 8 in the GAA. The other highlights in 2012 include significant progress in advancing the concept of an intelligence-led programme and the and the significant contribution made to improving detection of ...

IAPAM Publishes its Top Aesthetic Medicine Trends for 2013

Posted on by

The International Association For Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) has just released its Top Aesthetic Medicine Trends for 2013. With the Affordable Healthcare Act now moving forward, successful physicians will need to incorporate synergistic non-insurance based modalities into their practices, from advanced acne treatments to hCG for weight loss to be successful in 2013.

Las Vegas, Nevada (PRWEB) February 13, 2013

1. Stem Cells for Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and stem cells enriched treatments are evolving. In 2013, PRP therapy will become more mainstream as: its popularity grows, physicians become more aware of this therapy as being used by competitors and colleagues, and the cost of the therapy declines so that it is comparable to botox and dermal filler treatments.

2. Advanced Acne Treatments

Advancements in the treatment of acne have progressed exponentially, from the development of industry-leading topical therapies by companies like PCA Skin, to the use of acne clearing systems, like Palomars Acleara.

2013 will see an increase in physicians adding advanced acne treatments to their practices. Technologies and procedures, coupled with the sale of physician-directed acne management skin care lines, can be a profitable addition to any practice.

3. The BB Cream Phenomenon

An adjunct to the growth in advanced acne, blemish and dark spot treatments is the rise in the popularity of the BB cream, or blemish balm or blemish base. This is an all-in-one treatment, used to both cover and treat blemishes such as acne, sun spots and age spots, as well as act as an overall serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sunblock. It also has anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.

2013 will see the development of additional lines of BB Creams as well as CC Creams (Colour Control Creams) and associated topicals (AA Creams etc.)

Dr. Yves Hébert to Speak at the 19th World Congress of Aesthetic Medicine

Posted on by

Dr. Yves Hbert, from Montreal, will be speaking at the 19th World Congress of Aesthetic Medicine of the UIME which will be held in Cape Town, South Africa from the 14th to the 16th of February, 2013 on facial rejuvenation and the antioxidant revolution in skin care.

Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) February 13, 2013

The 19th World Congress of Aesthetic Medicine 2013 will focus on a strong scientific program combined with teaching, training and live workshops to educate doctors from all over the world on the latest trends, new techniques, discoveries, products and devices in the field of Aesthetic Medicine. This is the first time in history that this world congress is being held in an African country and it is probably the most important aesthetic medical event ever in Southern Africa.

Dr. Hbert will be speaking at the Congress on the following three subjects:

1.Understanding Facial Structures for a Global and Safe Approach to Facial Rejuvenation

The process of aging of the face results from the gradual absorption of fat, decreased thickness and elasticity of skin, decreased adherence between skin and subcutaneous tissues, sagging of soft tissues, weakening of the orbital muscle and septae, and progressive decrease in the volume of the craniofacial skeleton.

Up until recently, these different issues of the aging face have not been addressed in a global approach.

The new understanding of the role of the multiple components of the facial structures and their interrelations should lead to improvements in rejuvenation techniques that focus not only on the skin but also on deeper tissues.

This presentation will review the different layers of skin, soft tissues, muscles and bones and the location of nerves and vessels, outline how these anatomical structures are all connected and give the cosmetic physician the tools for a safe and thorough combination of therapies in global facial rejuvenation.

Schiff Nutrition and M&C Saatchi ask consumers “Whose Heart Do You Love?”

Posted on by

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Schiff Nutrition Group, Inc. and M&C Saatchi NY have launched a Valentines Day marketing campaign, Whose Heart Do You Love, for one of the leading and fastest-growing Krill Oil supplements in America, MegaRed. The innovative social media and sampling campaign, the first of its kind in the category, was timed to coincide with both Valentines Day and National Heart Health Month.

Jennifer Steeves-Kiss, Chief Marketing Officer of Schiff Nutrition said: Consumers really love the product once they try it, so sampling is an important part of getting the word out. Since Valentines Day is about celebrating who you love, we wanted to use that insight to turn the sampling model on its head and expand the reach of our effort.

Through a custom Facebook application, MegaRed allows consumers to request a free product sample for their loved ones. As a bonus, the person requesting a sample on behalf of a friend also receives a free sample for themselves.

As part of the effort, Schiff is making a $100,000 donation to the National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease (www.womenheart.org). This component, noted Steeves-Kiss, is meant to galvanize consumer participation around a worthy cause. It should be noted that according to a recent study by Latitude Research, 84% of people say they share online to support a cause.

Pierre Lipton, Chief Creative Officer of M&C Saatchi NY, said that given the sampling effort is social in nature, so is the promotion behind it. Theres virtually no paid media supporting the campaign. Instead, the brand is relying heavily on peer-to-peer distribution through Facebook and an influencer component on Twitter where several celebrities are tweeting their support for the effort. Among those are Jennie Garth, Toni Braxton and Joy Bauer, all of whom have a personal interest in supporting heart health. Blogger outreach is also being used to support the effort.

The campaign is further supported by a playful, one-minute animated video tied to the idea that no matter whose heart you love, keep that heart healthy this Valentines Day with MegaRed Omega-3 Krill Oil. Lipton added: We thought there was something kind and sweet about the notion that love, like people, comes in many forms. And that regardless of who you care for, doing something that could keep them healthy is actually pretty romantic. M&C Saatchi partnered with the Los Angeles based animation company Stardust on the video, which will primarily live on MegaReds YouTube and Facebook channels.

M&C Saatchi NY CEO Jeff Brooks said: Schiffs challenge to develop an idea that would drive trial through earned media was incredibly appealing. Doing more with less is the new reality for marketers, despite many brands remaining skeptical about how to use social media to drive commerce.

While social platforms are still primarily about community engagement, the explosion of commerce-supported experiences such as Pinterest, Svpply and Etsy suggests that social shopping is the new frontier. There is a growing trend around social commerce with Facebook driving over 25% of referral traffic to business websites, and Gartner Research suggesting that by 2015 we can expect 50% of web sales to occur through social media. Furthermore, Valentines Day is one of the most social times of year both offline and online. According to the National Retail Federation, last year 141 million cards were exchanged, making it the 2nd largest holiday for greeting cards; and 66% of women and 44% of men talked about Valentines Day on social networks.

Longevity in Business: Widen Enterprises makes lasting impression

Posted on by

In 65 years, Widen Enterprises has advanced from engraving plates for newspapers to providing services for marketing and creative teams that improve the managing and sharing of digital images and video files.

"It's a software service that we manage and maintain for customers, so they don't need to install anything. They access their own secure library of marketing and creative files through a Web browser," said CEO Matthew Gonnering, 36, who joined Widen Enterprises in 2000.

Widen also helps their customers' creative teams with catalogs and images for Web and print use by retouching images to make sure the colors closely match the physical products. The company edits the images to add effects desired by the customer.

The company was started by Arthur Widen and his son Mark as Widen Engraving. Originally located at the corner of Highway 51 and East Washington Avenue, the business moved to Johnson Street, then to Industrial Drive where it remained until the 1990s. Its current location is within walking distance of the Industrial Drive location.

While the business and location has changed over the years, the focus on service has not.

"The services we provide to the market have changed drastically over our history because the methods for how people communicate with their audience continue to change," Gonnering said.

"We shifted away from traditional prepress functions, such as plate engraving, film output, film stripping and platemaking to adopt more digital workflows for catalog page production, color retouching and photo editing. We empower creative expression, and our focus has been on our growth in software technology. The transition from a prepress organization to a software technology organization has changed our culture dramatically."

Widen works with over 200 customers throughout the world in various industries. Wisconsin-based customers include Mercury Marine, SubZero, Briggs & Stratton, Trek Bicycle, the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and Madison Gas & Electric. The privately held company with 80 employees generated $10 million to $20 million in revenue last year.

Digital asset management has been the key area of focus and growth over the last five years. New brands have been added to the Widen product portfolio including the soon-to-be-released Smartimage.

The Longevity in Business feature appears on the second Tuesday of each month. To suggest a business that has been operating for at least 50 years, contact Jill Carlson at jillcarlson1957@gmail.com.
