Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 5, 2004 -

This is a signed and numbered limited edition of 20 prints, hand pulled silkscreen with (9) colors, paper size: 35Â” x 44.5Â”.

Richard Duardo has been both an artist and an advocate of the arts in Los Angeles for over 25 years. Since graduating from UCLA in graphic design, he has been prolific in producing a large body of serigraphs. He has had museum shows in Tokyo and Gifu, Japan, New York and Los Angeles. His work was selected for a National Endowment for the Arts traveling exhibition where he was represented both as a printer and an artist. In 1988, Duardo received the California Arts Commission for The Artist of the Year Award. His work is represented in notable collections including The Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

In 1980, Duardo established his fine art print studio, Hecho en Aztlan and its later offshoots, Aztlan Multiples, Multiples Fine Art, Future Perfect, Art & Commerce and his current studio, Modern Multiples, Inc.

About Chaz Bojorquez

Charles BojÃ³rquez, Began his art career by spray-painting along riverbeds. He spent a summer at art school in Guadalajara, Mexico, and attended classes at Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) the year before graduating from high school in 1967. By the end of 1969, BojÃ³rquez had created a symbol that represented himself and the streetsÂ—a stylized skull called Â“SeÃ±or Suerte,Â” or Â“Mr. Luck.Â” It has become a gangster image of protection from death.

BojÃ³rquez quit what he calls Â“ taggingÂ” in 1986. Three of his paintings are now in the permanent collection of the National Museum of American Art in Washington, D. C. Four others are owned by the Orange County Museum of Art, which acquired the work because it reflects part of Southern CaliforniaÂ’s culture.

CURRENT DRUGS LTD NAMES WORLD LEADERS IN PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY RESEARCH

(PRWEB) January 24, 2001

GlaxoSmithKline leads the way as the number one filer of biotechnology-related pharmaceutical patents, Current Drugs Ltd announced today (12 January). A study of international patents focusing on therapeutic inventions recorded by the companyÂ’s Investigational Drugs database (IDdb3) between 1995 and 2000 revealed that, along with specialist biotechnology companies and universities, several major pharmaceutical companies are also heavily involved in this field.

Merck, Aventis and Roche are all in the top 10, but a number of other leading Â“big pharmaÂ” companies such as Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Bayer, and Johnson & Johnson have been significantly less active in their patenting activity. They all filed fewer than 60 biotech patents.

Commented Ian Tarr, Director of Current Drugs Ltd: Â“In the future, smaller companies and non-industrial institutions may have a greater stake in drug intellectual property. There is a growing trend of collaboration and outsourcing between big pharmaceutical companies and smaller, more specialized institutions, as the larger companies look for ways to fill the gaps in their product portfolios. For instance, J&J has a major collaboration with Incyte Pharmaceuticals who come in second in our ranking.

Â“It is interesting that out of the top 50 biotech patent filers, 20 are non-industrial institutions Â– mainly universities. They are an excellent source of licensing opportunities for our corporate clients and the IDdb is used increasingly as the database of choice to identify such leads.Â”

The search pulled up a total of 14,166 patents from 1,705 companies/institutes and 587 individuals. Patents from subsidiary companies were counted under the parent company and only the first patent for an invention was included in the calculations (subsequent filings in other countries are therefore not Â‘double countedÂ’) unless there was a new use for the invention.

The findings are backed up by Current Patents Ltd, sister company to Current Drugs, which specializes in patent analysis. Commented Peter Steele, Managing Director of Current Patents Ltd: Â“ItÂ’s noteworthy that these figures confirm a trend in increasing patent output by academic and public institutions. In fact, when we looked at biotech patenting in 1998 we found that collaboration is also likely to be higher among academic or public institutions. And when a company does file a joint application it will probably be with an academic institution rather than another commercial organization. Notable exceptions to this rule included SmithKline Beecham, Novartis and Human Genome Sciences.Â”

The top 10 filers are:

Rank Company Number of patents

1 GlaxoSmithKline plc 747

2 Incyte Genomics Inc 453

3 Aventis SA 351

4 United States Government 334

5 Roche Holding AG 306

6 Human Genome Sciences Inc 286

7 University of California 262

8 American Home Products 235

9 Merck & Co Inc 223

10 Chiron Corp 184

Ben Stein and Global Forex Trading Team Up to Kick Off Strategic Trading Institute in Las Vegas

Global Forex Trading, a world-leading online currency trading corporation, has enlisted CBS Morning News commentator, Hollywood personality and popular economist Ben Stein to kick off a new trading education company, Strategic Trading Institute (http://www. stitrader. com), which will offer educational services to all levels and types of traders.

ADA, MI (PRWEB) July 12, 2006

Strategic Trading Institute (STI) will debut at the Las Vegas Forex Trading Expo to be held September 8 and 9 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

"Strategic Trading Institute will not only serve to educate traders, but more importantly, it will focus on active traders' unique needs in order to meet their trading goals in the world's currency markets and beyond," said Gary Tilkin, president and CEO, Strategic Trading Institute.

A founding principle of Strategic Trading Institute is that a community-focused atmosphere that draws traders together to network with and benefit from their fellow traders and market experts is one of the most effective methods of education. Because of this, STI chose to hold its inaugural event in conjunction with the Las Vegas Forex Trading Expo, the only industry event that brings a wide range of market leaders together.

The second annual Las Vegas Forex Trading Expo is a free event that attracted nearly 2,000 registrants in 2005, and is on pace to at least double the attendance this year.

"When you believe in your products and services, you can go head-to-head with your competitors and bring the industry together to give traders the ability to make a choice among all service providers. The entire industry benefits from the increased competition and higher standards," said Tilkin.

STI will introduce its Market Masters program, which includes live workshops in topics such as forex market analysis and trading psychology. The workshops are hosted by four key presenters before and during the Las Vegas Forex Trading Expo, on Thursday, Sept. 7 and Friday, Sept. 8.

Global Forex Trading (http://www. gftforex. com (http://www. gftforex. com)) is sponsoring a free, exclusive keynote presentation by Ben Stein called "The Two-Year Outlook of the U. S. Dollar," with a free cocktail reception and meet-and-greet to follow the speech.

All STI workshop participants will receive reserved VIP seating at the Ben Stein keynote address, which will be held Sept. 8 at 5:30 p. m. PDT at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center. Pre-registration forms and details for all events can be found online at http://www. stitrader. com (http://www. stitrader. com). The workshops cost $500 for each four-hour session, and participants will receive a discount for registering for all four sessions.

The inaugural STI workshops will kick off Sept. 7 at 8 a. m. with Doug "The Head Coach" Hirschhorn, who will teach participants about the psychology of thinking and trading like a trader. Hirschhorn is a former Division I baseball player and CBOT floor trader, and is a current columnist for the popular lifestyle magazine, Trader Monthly.

STI presenters also include Larry Pesavento, an authority on Fibonacci trading techniques; Tom Joseph, a specialist in Elliot Wave principles and the creator of Dynamic Trend Profile; and Dave Floyd, a professional trader who is recognized for his trading signals and mentoring services for entry-level and intermediate-level traders.

"We've received many requests from all levels and types of traders who are looking for a comprehensive education in trading methodologies that work, especially from people who've received inadequate training in the past. We want to fill this void in the marketplace while also increasing the knowledge base and providing value to individuals who are well on their way to becoming successful traders," said Tilkin. "Everyone benefits when traders are more informed and more prepared to trade the markets."

About STI

Strategic Trading Institute (STI) was established in 2005 to serve as a leading education provider in the online financial trading industry. STI will achieve this goal by providing superior customer service, educational training and expert presenters to help all levels of traders meet their unique trading goals, as well as carrying out all company services with the highest levels of integrity.

Scala Acquires SignChannel from Thinking Screen Media

Defines a new category of self-service digital signage

Exton, PA (PRWEB) April 29, 2010

Scala (http://www. scala. com), the world’s leading platform for digital signage, has acquired the SignChannel division of Thinking Screen Media (http://www. signchannel. com (http://www. signchannel. com)). SignChannel is a new category of self-service digital signage service that is both low cost and easy to use.

SignChannel is an advertising-free, subscription-based service. It lets subscribers supplement their own promotional content with captivating commercial content such as weather, stock, news or sports updates.

“No one today has a digital signage offering for small business owners to deploy and manage themselves. SignChannel is the first,” said Gerard Bucas, Chief Executive Officer, Scala. “By leveraging low-cost media players such as wireless photo frames and Scala’s template capability, a small to medium business owner can easily set up their own digital signage network, create compelling content and manage their playlists through a simple Web interface. Coupled with SignChannel’s built-in media content, it is so innovative that we feel it truly presents a new paradigm in our industry”.

“Other traditional digital signage systems, including Scala’s award-winning Scala 5 software, need a reseller or system integrator to install the system, a graphic designer to create content and an IT person to manage the network” said Jeff Porter, Executive Vice President, Scala. “With SignChannel, you have an affordable do-it-yourself SaaS solution for small - and medium-sized businesses.”

“Scala has been a great help to us in the last year to get our SignChannel service started. Their server side software enabled us to bring a wide variety of professionally designed templates for a variety of vertical markets to the existing lineup of more than 500 media channels of news, weather, sports, stocks and local information for our service,” said Alan Phillips, CEO, Thinking Screen Media. “Now, Scala will be able to take SignChannel to the next level by leveraging its presence in the global digital signage marketplace.”

With Scala’s substantial investment, Thinking Screen Media will continue to develop their award-winning, consumer-focused FrameChannel platform (www. framechannel. com (http://www. framechannel. com)), which is supported by advertising. FrameChannel is available on more than 20 connected devices, including the iPad. Unlike FrameChannel which contains advertising supported content, SignChannel is an advertising-free, subscription-based service.

“SignChannel provides the subscriber with the ability to supplement their promotional content with captivating ad-free commercial content such as weather, stock, news or sports updates,” said Jon Finegold, Chief Operating Officer, Thinking Screen Media.

To learn more about the new SignChannel service, visit http://www. signchannel. com. (http://www. signchannel. com)

Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ) Accepted for Indexing by the National Library of Medicine (NLM)

New York, NY (Vocus) January 6, 2009

Aesthetic Surgery Journal (ASJ), an official peer-reviewed publication of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), has been accepted for indexing by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) in MEDLINE/PubMed (http://www. pubmed. gov), the world's most widely accessed medical database. MEDLINE is the NLM's premier bibliographic database containing references to journal articles from 1950 to the present in the life sciences with a concentration on biomedicine. PubMed is a searchable database that includes over 18 million citations and abstracts from MEDLINE and other life science journals. It includes links to full text articles and other related resources.

"Only a small percentage of journals that apply for indexing each year are approved by the NLM, and most are research journals. This achievement reflects worldwide recognition of the clinical and scientific importance of aesthetic plastic surgery as well as the quality of the Journal's content," says Editor in Chief Foad Nahai, MD, Clinical Professor of Surgery at Emory University School of Medicine.

The NLM journal selection process includes close examination of all aspects of submitted journals including the importance, quality and scope of content; expertise and qualifications of the Editorial Board; conformity of the editorial process with currently accepted standards for scholarly journals; and production quality. (For more information: http://www. nlm. nih. gov/pubs/factsheets/jsel. html)

Indexing comes at a pivotal time in the journal's history - the retirement of Stanley A. Klatsky, MD after 11 years as editor in chief. This achievement reflects his initiative to make the necessary changes over the years to ensure that ASJ became indexed by NLM. In his farewell editorial in the November/December 2008 issue of ASJ, he states, "Our indexed status can certainly be viewed as a breakthrough in making important information about aesthetic surgery easily accessible to clinicians and researchers around the world." He goes on to thank everyone who contributed to the journal's success over the years and to pass on the legacy to Dr. Foad Nahai, the new editor in chief starting in January 2009.

"Already the most widely read journal in the field of cosmetic surgery, ASJ will now be even more broadly available to clinicians and researchers around the world," says Dr. Nahai. "Greater accessibility of the Journal's authoritative and time-sensitive information to physicians worldwide means better and safer care for patients."

About ASJ
Aesthetic Surgery Journal, owned by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and published by Elsevier Science, is a peer-reviewed international journal focusing on clinical and scientific developments in cosmetic surgery and cosmetic medicine. The Journal has subscribers in more than 80 countries. Besides its affiliation with ASAPS, the leading organization of board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in aesthetic surgery, ASJ is also the official English-language journal of plastic surgery societies in Brazil, Israel, Mexico, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Costa Rica, Colombia, India and The Netherlands, and it is the official journal of the Rhinoplasty Society. ASJ's Editorial Board includes plastic surgeons and Interspecialty Editors representing anesthesiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology and clinical psychology. For information on the Journal, as well as subscriber and pay-per-view access to the Journal's full text and graphics, go to http://www. aestheticsurgeryjournal. com.
