Some Thoughts about Volunteers and Their Employers

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

The friendship that volunteers experience can tie their community together more closely, and naturally it will aid their local needy. Yet, scheduling this kind of event can be pretty time consumung in its own right, and let’s keep in mind that this in itself is free time better used to do some good. The obvious step is for other companies to take a cue from far-sighted firms like Connecticut’s Adaptive Marketing LLC. In addition to shopping programs such as Privacy Matters Identity intended for the benefit of consumers, Adaptive Marketing organizes local volunteer activity to give its employees more time to reach out to the local community. Company sponsoring volunteer activity has developed beyond blood drives and annual charitable giving. Shoe recycling programs and more energetic efforts like tree-planting events – these are just some of the activities that have been made possible for its employees by Adaptive Marketing. By centralizing the organization individual initiatives blossomed into larger events, with specific locations, dates and times publicized ahead of time to make time management easy for volunteers. It’s important to let volunteers back activities that fit their interests. At Adaptive Marketing, the people who brought you Privacy Matters Identity, employees can pick and choose from a diverse list of volunteer programs. Earlier projects have included work in a wide assortment of areas including help and support for children and young adults, green programs, and events supporting theatre. This provides Adaptive Marketing volunteers with opportunities to use their time as efficiently as possible and relish taking part. When firms urge their staffers to think about volunteering at a nearby homeless shelter, it tends to be for a specific event or a regularly scheduled, perhaps weekly or monthly job. There are people who claim they haven’t the time, but even they can squeeze in the public library’s used-book sale or a Saturday morning spent litter picking in the park.

You’ll find plenty of examples of firms giving back to the people who live nearby. Adaptive Marketing maintains volunteer programs in part to generate goodwill within the local community as a result of the charity work performed by its staff members. One thing volunteer work is certain to do is leave your workforce feeling good about themselves, which leads to a motivated company.

Developments in IHC Have Lead to Enhanced Diagnosis Capabilities Cancer of the Mesothelium

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Malignant pleural mesothelioma is a uncommon and fast moving growth for which no effective therapy exists in spite of the breakthrough of several possible genetic targets. The late stage of MPM diagnosis and the period of time that between contacts and diagnosis have made it tricky to fully learn what risk factors do and their downstream molecular effects.

Many medical centers are witnessing increasing numbers of patients with peritoneal cancer. This gives pathologists diagnosing the patient many problems, that are divided into those discovered in finding the differences between malignant mesothelioma and harmless changes and those discovered in setting apart cancer of the mesothelium from different forms of epithelial and connecting tissue tumors. IHC performs a major role in making the diagnosis, but it must be taken into consideration with due regard to the experimental setting and radiological characteristics, and understanding the extensive morphological differentiations existing in cancer of the mesothelium.

Cancer of the mesothelium is a cancer directly affecting the serosal cavities, an anatomic site that is frequently affected by metastasis, largely from primary carcinomas of the lung, breast, and ovary. Advances in immunohistochemistry have caused an improvement in diagnostic sensitivity and precision in the differential diagnosis in regards to histological and cytological material. As of late, the researchers used high throughput technology to the recognition of new flags that may aid in telling the difference between cancer of the mesothelium from ovarian and peritoneal serous carcinoma, tumors cells that contain closely related histogenesis and antigenic profile. In addition to the improved medical devices available for serosal carcinoma diagnosis, understanding the biology of mesothelioma has been accumulating recently.

The Causes of the Republicans

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

The Republican Party, commonly referred to as the Grand Old Party, was founded in 1854 with ideologies rooted in the fold of conservatism and liberalism, mostly in the fields of economics. Current Republicans are composed of fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, and libertarians and have supported the concept of free-market and the thought that the individual should be responsible for his/her own actions. The Republicans emphasize that corporations play a major role in boosting the nation’s economy and have created policies to keep corporations alive and operational. Such political goal sometimes crosses with labor unions that heavily support the Democrats. Aside from economic prosperity, the Republicans also support the creation of a powerful military arm for the government. US military actions, such as the War on Terror and the invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan were publicly supported by the Republican Party. Regarding the party’s environmental policies, a significant number of Republicans have a different opinion towards global warming, stating that the effects of such phenomenon including climate and temperature changes, are part of a natural global cycle. The party has opposed the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, whose objective is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions of all member countries of the United Nations. The Republicans argue that provisions of the said arrangement hinder the industrial growth of Western countries, including the United States. Some of the other policies supported by the Republicans include: Legal ownership of firearms Abolition of homosexual marriages Abolition of abortion Enforcement of capital punishment Discontinuation of the stem cell research International free trade The Republicans also support the admission of Puerto Rico as a member state of the United States.

The Legacy of Johns Hopkins

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Johns Hopkins left his family’s Maryland home at the age of 17 to work for an uncle in Baltimore. At the age of 24, he set up his own mercantile house. He invested heavily in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and became its director in 1847. Later on, he served as the company’s Chairman of Finance.

Hopkins was a wealthy entrepreneur who devoted his life to philanthropy and abolitionism. When he died on December 24, 1973, Hopkins left $7 million worth of stocks at Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. As per his request, the money was used to finance the foundation of the Johns Hopkins Colored Children Orphan Asylum. Since Hopkins also specified his desire to establish educational institutions, the Johns Hopkins University was founded in 1876. Other Johns Hopkins institutions were set up in the following years, including the Johns Hopkins Press, Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

Throughout his life, Johns Hopkins openly expressed his opposition to slavery and his unwavering support for quality education and medicine for the poor, elderly, women, and blacks. The various institutions brought to life by his passionate desire to serve others are among the best resources in the fields of education, medicine, research, patient care, and public service. Johns Hopkins University’s mission epitomizes their founder’s philosophy in life: expanding knowledge and using this knowledge for the good of humanity.

Johns Hopkins’ legacy lives in the institutions he once only dreamed of creating.

Protecting Children From Porn

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

There’s a new Michigan state register (at https://www.protectmichild.com/) in the works to create a database of e-mail addresses that cannot (under penalty of the law) be spammed with content that could be deemed objectionable to children, most notably porn. The database will extend to include pager and cell phone numbers sometime in the future. Right now, it’s sort of like the national DO NOT CALL registry, but for electronic mail.

What happens is that parents and guardians write or phone in the addresses that their children and wards have access to. The project is in the registry phase right now, i.e e-mail addresses are still being compiled (as of July 1). The actual DO NOT EMAIL statute takes effect on August 1.

E-mail advertisers must, from here on in, crosscheck this state list before sending out their e-mail newsletter or advertising to ensure that they’re not sending mail to an address that kids under 18 have access to. The penalties for infringement are reasonably stiff, not too much so. They’re certainly stiffer than the ones for the DO NOT CALL register (I checked because I’m on that one).

Someone needs to send this to Capitol Hill so that our national legislators can see what a child-protection law looks like; for the next time they try to come up with a statute as half-hearted – supposedly well-intentioned, but flawed in design – as Title 18 U.S.C. 2257.

I believe that a noble, decent, and well-intended law/statute – at it’s basic core – should do three things:

1. Lay down boundaries for proper conduct;

2. Seek to punish those who cross those boundaries; and in so doing

3. Do everything within its reasonable power to prevent transgressions in the future.

Everybody and their brother in the adult industry knows that the new 2257 statute regulations that just kicked in are a joke. The spirit of 2257, as it is expounded upon in the entire 110th chapter of that section of the US code, is to prevent the abuse of children, sexually and otherwise. Now it’s one thing to require that porn content producers ascertain and maintain proof of identity and age for prospective adult performers. It would be irresponsible on the part of government and the adult industry not to keep up on such record-keeping.

As a matter of fact, long before the biggest underage actress hoopla came along, in the guise of Traci Lords, porn studios were checking IDs. (For those who don’t know, Lords was an underage porn actress that “snuck” into the business and appeared in many videos. When the studios that produced her videos got wind of her actual age at the time of her performances, they pulled her content from store shelves.)

But this notion that a consistently enforced 2257 (like that which is imposed at the present) would have prevented the Lords incident is mistakable. 2257 would not have made her authentic-looking proof of age look any more fake. A lot of people may not believe this but the adult industry does a pretty good job of policing itself. The only way a minor could enter the industry is if he or she made a conscious decision to apply to be a pornstar, and took certain premeditated steps to make the dream a reality (in terms of obtaining said Ids). Where is the punishment for minors who knowingly attempt to enter the industry while underage?

I’m sure some manner of punishment, in terms of juvenile detention, would deter future mid-teens from trying to pass off some fake IDs. Isn’t that what correctional facilities are for? The primary purpose of a prison or a detention facility should be (if a detainee can be salvaged or rehabbed) to prevent mal-behavior in the future, primary to punishment of said offenders.

The jailing of unwitting and honest porn execs (and I do know there are a lot of shady people in the business) for a crime perpetrated by an unethical minor seems highly unfair. It would be like punishing the makers of a completely legitimate pharmaceutical or hospital drug like opium because there are illicit dealers who dispense their products on the street. Are not only the offenders (the drug dealers) in this case punished?

Granted, under the Michigan law, giving admitted or intended pedophiles (who pose as electronic spammers) access to children’s phone numbers and e-mail addresses is almost like putting a leash on a wolf and walking him right up to the sheep’s pen. But you would be mistaken if you thought a pedophile determined to strike again would otherwise have no other means to re-commit his heinous crimes.

The Michigan statute just serves to lay down boundaries and define precise, justifiable repercussions for crossing such boundaries. In the end, the law does what it’s supposed to do: protect the children and see to it (within reasonable expectation) that pedophile crimes don’t happen again – by putting away and/or deterring would be molesters. On the other hand, 2257 as it stands does little to protect or serve anyone.

Finally, a child-welfare law (The Michigan Children’s Protection Registry) that actually serves its purpose. If President Bush, Attorney General Gonzales, and the Department of Justice were not so hell-bent on ridding the US – or maybe the universe for that matter – of pornography in all shapes and forms, they would see that 2257 just doesn’t do what they believe it will do. Or maybe they already knew that, and their mind set is bye-bye, see-ya to porn anyway?

And that heavy hand on the adult industry is about to get heavier now that the semi-liberal, semi-conservative Justice O’Connor just retired. But that’s a story for another day…
