So many daughters and sisters have come before us to blaze the trail. It is important to remember them in an important and meaningful way. I am trying today to not do any work paid or unpaid and to wear red in solidarity. I have red socks on, but it is difficult to not engage in any meaningful work of any kind. I reviewed the Google site showing the many contributions of individual women around the world and I read articles related to the topic on the Huffington post. What are you planning to do on this international women's day to remember the many contributions women have made to improve the greater peace and prosperity of our human experience?

"Our Mission.
Women are constantly under pressure about their appearance. They are expected to look and act a certain way, to be thinner, to look younger and sexier, to follow trends and look up to idealized forms of femininity. We believe that women need to focus on their own strengths, their own capabilities, and their own beauty.
Make Yourself a Priority.
We have devoted ourselves to one simple goal: to develop products that will help us learn the science behind our bodies and give us the power that comes with knowing the truth about our body and mind. . .
Well-being Reimagined.
We believe that knowledge is power. Learning more about our bodies, what they’re capable of and learning how our lifestyle habits and choices affect our stress levels gives us knowledge and motivation necessary to improve our well-being.
Design That Inspires.
Our design is inspired by nature and driven by innovation. Combining innovative design with technology helps us create products that we can wear all day, every day, and give us guidance we need along the way of leading a healthy lifestyle."

"How Modern Health Care is Being Revolutionized by Social Media
Deleteby CANPharmacyKing - February 20th, 2017
Social media has helped change many industries for the better. One sector that has had the most impact in recent years is the health industry. Social media along with the Internet has revolutionized the way people find and view Health Care information. Patients no longer have to wait over the phone or in medical practices to get the information they seek. With a click of a button, they can now connect with other patients with similar medical conditions from anywhere in the world. Thanks to mobile devices this can all be done from the palm of your hand.
The social web can make people’s day to day life a better one. Patients with chronic illnesses learn how to cope with their condition better with the help of an online social community. They share images and videos with one another making it easy to share information and progress of their treatment or illness. Social media not only helps with patient to patient relationships but also improves doctor – patient relationships. Imagine a situation where patients can now connect with doctors in different countries who specialize in a particular disease or condition and get their opinion or advice. Doctors can get advice with doctors within social media as well.
Information about a rare disease or new treatments for a chronic illness can all be spread to people across the globe within a few days using social media. Spreading awareness and health improvement initiatives no longer have to be one way or boring; these can all be fun and engaging.
Check out this infographic from Canadian Pharmacy King on further statistics and tips on how social media can progressively improve health care outcomes and make this industry a better one for everyone. . ."

The power of defining yourself | Amma Asante-Movie Director | TEDxBrixton
DeletePublished on Dec 2, 2014
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Amma Asante is the director of the Hollywood hit movie Belle and found that working in Hollywood where only 0.4% of directors are black females, she has been under pressure to live up to a definition bestowed upon her; one that did not match own own self definition. A passionate speaker, Amma asks us to consider that we are all a combination of many worlds put together and when those worlds meet, progress can follow.
BAFTA award winning writer-director Amma Asante began her career as a child actress, appearing as a regular in the popular British school drama Grange Hill.
She fronted the "Just Say No" campaign of the 1980s and was one of nine Grange Hill children to take it to the Reagan White House.
Asante's 2004 feature film, A Way of Life, was her directorial debut and garnered her 17 international awards for her writing and directing including newcomer awards for writing and directing from the BFI London Film Festival, The Times Breakthrough Artist of the Year and the prestigious South Bank Show Awards. Asante’s second feature film, Belle was released in cinemas in 2014. The film drew widespread acclaim and is the third highest grossing independent film of 2014. In January this year Asante was announced as one of Variety's ‘10 Directors to Watch.’ Follow her on Twitter @AmmaAsante

In 1998, says Monica Lewinsky, “I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.” Today, the kind of online public shaming she went through has become a constant. In a brave talk, she takes a look at our “culture of humiliation,” in which online shame equals dollar signs — and demands a different way.

Shit happens. Clean it up and move on! | Beatrice Achaleke | TEDxKlagenfurt
ReplyDeletePublished on Oct 28, 2014
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Shit happens! And it happens to everyone of us. The question behind this sentence is, how do we deal with it? Beatrice Achaleke gave an informative and enlightening talk about „shitty“ situations in her life and explains a very valuable system called „Globuntu“ which empowers you to go through hard times with dignity and even thankfulness.
Diversity is one of the current “hot-topics” and trends that influence the way we see and define leadership. Successful corporations like Google, Apple, and Microsoft have already discovered this trend and highly benefit from a more productive and diversified workforce. The international consultant Beatrice Achaleke assists corporations in implementing diversity. She is a highly energetic and entertaining speaker, which immediately fosters the listeners’ motivation and encouragement and her global mind-set inspires both, corporate leaders and individuals. Moreover, she is a successful author and a huge Nelson Mandela fan. This is why she developed the GloBUNTU Training Tool, which helps individuals and corporations to lead like Nelson Mandela.

ReplyDelete"What Netflix Can Teach Us About Treating Cancer | World Time News . . .
The Future
Unfortunately, cancer therapies that target genes usually cannot cure a patient’s disease. They can only delay progression for a few years. Most patients then relapse, with tumors that are no longer responsive to the treatment.
Our own recent work found that the patterns that distinguish gene function in cells that are responsive to cetuximab include the very genes that give rise to resistance. Emerging immunotherapies are promising and appear to cure some cancers. Yet, far too often, patients with these treatments also relapse. New data that track the cancer genetics after treatment is essential to determine why patients no longer respond.
Along with these data, cancer biology also requires a new generation of scientists who can bridge mathematics and statistics to determine the genetic changes occurring over time in drug resistance. In other fields of mathematics, computer programs are able to forecast long-term outcomes. These models are used commonly in weather prediction and investment strategies.
In these fields and my own previous research, we have found that updates to the models from large datasets – such as satellite data in the case of weather – improve long-term forecasts. We have all seen the effect of these updates, with weather predictions improving the closer that we are to a storm.
Just as tools from computer science used can be adapted to both movie recommendations and cancer, the future generation of computational scientists will adopt prediction tools from an array of fields for precision medicine. Ultimately, with these computational tools, we hope to predict tumors’ response to therapy as commonly as we predict the weather, and perhaps more reliably."
