The Animal Genetics Market witnessed healthy growth during the last decade, primarily attributed to the increasing animal protein consumption by and increasingly urban global population. To cater the rising demand of animal proteins, farmers are increasingly adopting advanced genetic technologies for larger-scale production and quality breeds. In addition, growing awareness about veterinary genetic diseases and disorders; increase in the population of livestock animals, especially in emerging markets; implementation of animal welfare acts in developed countries; and development of cutting-edge technologies in animal genetic testing are further driving this market. However, stringent regulations regarding animal genetic engineering, expensive and time-consuming R&D activities, high cost of animal testing, and insufficient number of skilled professionals in animal genetics are restraining the growth of animal genetics market during the forecast period of 2014 to 2020.

Futurist Jack Uldrich to Adress Cleveland Community College

Posted on by

Shelby, NC (PRWEB) March 17, 2015

Highly acclaimed education futurist, technology forecaster, and best-selling author, Jack Uldrich has been selected to deliver two keynote speeches at Cleveland Community College in Shelby, NC, on March 19th and 20th.

The materials presented in this lecture series are based on a combination of Uldrich's best-selling book, "Higher Unlearning: 39 Post Requisite Lessons for Achieving a Successful Future," and his latest book, "Foresight 2020: A Futurist Explores the Trends Transforming Tomorrow." The lectures are designed to provide education students, teachers and North Carolina based innovators with solid and thought-provoking ideas and practical strategies for life inside and outside of the academy. A sample of some of Uldrich's ideas on the future of education can be found in this chapter, The Future of Higher Education: A Cloudy Forecast, from Foresight 2020.

Beyond addressing a number of educational trends, including open-source educational platforms (such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity), mobile web communications, interactive and customizable e-books, gaming dynamics, augmented-reality, artificial intelligence, and crowdsourcing; Uldrich also will tackle how these trends are transforming the student and teacher relationship and review what educational leaders must do today in order to get ahead of tomorrow's coming changes.

In his second lecture, "The Future Demands Unlearning," Uldrich will discuss why these future trends will require unlearning and provide an overview of how these technological changes are upending long-standing educational and funding mechanisms. Uldrich, who has been hailed as "America's Chief Unlearning Officer," will conclude the seminar by reviewing the consequences of not embracing the concept of unlearning. An overview of his talk can be found in this article: 5 Trends of Higher Education.

Uldrich has addressed dozens of educational groups and associations, including delivering customized keynote presentations to EAIE, in Istanbul, Indiana University, The Council of Great Lakes Schools, The University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Business, Educational Services of America, Belmont University, The Chief Learning Officers Summit, The Minneapolis Public School System, The Teaching and Technology Conference, The League of Innovation, The California League of Middle Schools, and The American Technical Education Association. Uldrich has also addressed a number of major, non education-related corporations and institutions on the topics of future trends, change management and unlearning, including Wells Fargo, Verizon Wireless, ABB, Cisco, IBM, PepsiCo, United Healthcare, WiPro, and General Electric.

Parties interested in learning more about him, his books, his daily blog or his speaking availability are encouraged to visit his website. Media wishing to know more about either the event or interviewing Jack as a futurist or trend expert can contact Amy Tomczyk at (651) 343.0660.

4 Bush Foundation grant recipients hail from Twin Cities

Bush Foundation recipients, from left, Trista Harris, Jennifer Almanza, Sarah Bellamy and Kashif Saroya

Trista Harris will travel from her hometown of Burnsville to California's Silicon Valley and the think tanks of Washington, D.C., to discuss the future of philanthropy.

Futurism isn't a new art, but tapping current trends to chart the destiny of the nonprofit industry is, and Harris -- the president of the Minnesota Council on Foundations -- will be at the forefront, thanks in large part to a grant of up to $100,000 from the Bush Foundation.

The St. Paul-based Bush Foundation was established in 1953 by 3M Co. executive Archibald Bush and his wife, Edith. For 50 years, the foundation has awarded sizable grants to residents of Minnesota and the Dakotas who have already enriched their community and aim to take their leadership skills to the next level.

The foundation on Tuesday was to announce 23 recipients of its 2015 Bush Fellows program. Chosen from among 625 applicants, each grant winner will receive up to $100,000 and 24 months to further his or her leadership abilities through formal education or self-guided research. The leadership fellowship is considered one of the most flexible of its kind in the country.

"It's a leadership development program, but we allow the fellows to articulate what they need to increase their leadership capacity and then provide them the resources to make it happen," foundation spokesman Dominick Washington said.

The fellowship does not require recipients to take time off from work, but many do.

"Some people stay on their job," Washington said.

In addition to Harris, three other Bush Fellows hail from the Twin Cities east metro area.

Jennifer Almanza of Inver Grove Heights will use her Bush Fellowship to pursue a doctorate of nursing practice in midwifery. Almanza researched the birthing experience of women living on the Leech Lake Reservation in north-central Minnesota and served as an instructor and charge nurse in the Regions Hospital Birth Center.

Freedom camping restricted

Posted on by

The freedom camping site at Collins Memorial Reserve on SH1 in Koromiko between Picton and Blenheim could be scrapped.

The controversial freedom camping spot at Koromiko, between Blenheim and Picton, could be scrapped under draft proposals by the Marlborough District Council.

It follows a four-month summer trial which increased the number of restricted freedom camping sites in Marlborough.

At a meeting of the council's assets and services committee on Tuesday the council rubber stamped a draft plan where freedom camping is prohibited or restricted.

The council proposed no freedom camping at Collins Memorial Reserve in Koromiko and along Freeths Rd in Koromiko, Picton foreshore, Bluegum Reserve in Rarangi and Penzance jetty car park and on Kamhi Rd.

Freedom camping could also be banned on Tunnicliff Reserve, The Parade Esplanade Reserve and Okiwi Bay Reserve, in Okiwi Bay and Seddon Domain.

However, freedom camping with restrictions is proposed at Blenheim's A&P Park, Picton's Waitohi Domain, the Blenheim Railway Station and Blenheim's Wynen St car park.

The draft will go out to public consultation and submissions will be heard at a hearing.

Council reserves and amenities manager Rosie Bartlett said more people were using non-self-contained vehicles.

Marlborough wanted to be seen as welcoming toward freedom campers in a way that didn't interfere with the community or cause damage to the environment, Bartlett said.

Cassar-Daley shifts focus to Freedom Ride

Posted on by

This year a lot of attention will be given to the centenary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli.

But country music star Troy Cassar-Daley wants to shed light on another significant moment in Australia's history - the Freedom Ride of 1965.

During the Freedom Ride, Aboriginal activist Charles Perkins and a group of students travelled into NSW country towns on a bus protesting for Aboriginal rights.

The Freedom Ride generated huge publicity at the time and exposed the racial segregation and discrimination suffered by Aboriginal people.

Two years later, a referendum on Aboriginal rights was held and was successful, leading to amendments made to the Australian constitution.

The amendments allowed Aboriginal people to be included in the national census and formally recognised them as Australian citizens.

"Freedom Ride was a special thing for me as an indigenous kid ... such an important issue and an important happening in indigenous history," Cassar-Daley told AAP.

The singer says he was blown away to learn as a kid that before the Freedom Ride indigenous Australians, including his own grandparents, couldn't vote.

"I was blown away with that. I didn't think that could happen in Australia. I didn't think there was segregation in Australia."

Now, 50 years later, Cassar-Daley is putting the story back out there, front and centre, with his ninth record titled Freedom Ride. It's a timely decision.

After years in Cuban prison, sweet freedom

Posted on by

Story highlights Rep. Van Hollen: Alan Gross became "a catalyst" for next chapter in U.S.-Cuba relations Gross has been a guest of the Obamas, got to meet Pope Francis since release from Cuba He's also been to the dentist, watched a D.C. snowfall and indulged in some good food

It turns out a lot more than most of the rest of us.

Gross, 65, has started to make up for the five years he spent imprisoned in Cuba by traveling abroad, attending the State of the Union address as a guest of the Obamas and last week meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican to personally thank him for his role in helping to win Gross' freedom.

After five years of being disconnected from the outside world, Gross now frequently posts on social media, writing of family reunions, eating the foods he longed for in prison and the reminders he experiences of his time in Cuba.

"I can't get away from Cuba," Gross wrote after hearing a Cuban song playing in an airport on his travels. While visiting Israel, he posted a photo of Cohiba cigars advertised for sale in a Tel Aviv tobacco shop.

In 2009, Gross was arrested by Cuban state security agents and eventually sentenced to 15 years in prison for importing banned communications equipment to the island.

Gross said he was merely helping the island's small Jewish community get online, but Cuban officials accused of him being part of a U.S. government plot to destabilize the island's single-party Communist government.

Cuba has highly restricted Internet access, and most people are not able to access the Web in their homes or on their phones.

On December 17, 2014, Gross was freed, along with three Cuban intelligence agents and a Cuban man convicted of spying for the United States. It was part of a deal between the Cuban and U.S. governments to reestablish diplomatic relations after five decades of Cold War animosity.

Gross, his wife, Judy, his attorney and three U.S. congressmen flew from Havana to his home state of Maryland aboard a U.S. military jet, one of the smaller versions of Air Force One used to transport President Barack Obama.
