Captionmax Wins $2.5 Million Award To Improve Media Accessibility For Blind And Low Vision Students

opfinder — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:12:42 +0000

– MINNEAPOLIS, MN October 25, 2010 CaptionMax announced winning a 5-year, $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs. This funding will be used to add video description to over 800 hours of educational broadcasts used in the classroom. Video description allows blind and low-vision students to access a program's content through a voiceover that describes the key visual elements.

"Students with disabilities deserve the same access to the same quality material that all other students have," says U.S. Representative Keith Ellison. "Investing in the tools and technologies that will ensure the success of these children is vitally important to the contributions they will make in the future," Ellison stated. "I am so pleased that Minnesota companies, like CaptionMax, are at the forefront of providing technologies that brighten the future for our nation's youth," Ellison concluded.

This five-year grant focuses on making classroom-appropriate media accessible to preschool and early elementary children who have sensory disabilities, as well as to children who are aural learners. "Media presentations, both educational and recreational, have become much more visually oriented. For students who are blind to fully understand the world we live in, they must have full access to all educational materials. This access impacts not only educational achievement, but preparation for a productive career and life after school is completed." says B.J. LeJeune of Mississippi State University.

"Unlike captioning, which has broad mandates, very little to zero television programming is currently described," says CaptionMax President Max Duckler. "This puts kids with vision loss at a disadvantage with their sighted peers when using media in the curriculum. This grant will help level the playing field."

Alternative Break to Costa Rica

opfinder — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 11:43:54 +0000

– Spring Break is traditionally is a time students to relax and have fun, but for 15 Pepperdine college students it is an opportunity to assist the less fortunate in an impoverished Nicaraguan community in San Jose, Costa Rica. Student leaders from Pepperdine in partnership with Appleseed Expeditions will lead a team of 15 students in the Nicaraguan refugee town of La Carpio, in Costa Rica. Our primary goal is to help Nicaraguan refugee children struggling with day to day issues.

The Nicaraguan refugees of La Carpio struggle with more than a 70% poverty rate, and an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people are living within just one square mile. Students will be helping the local orphanage, mentor children, and help expand the local daycare facility in this refugee area. The group will also help in the construction of buildings for a foster care center using recycled wood, as Costa Rica is suffering from years of excessive deforestation. Approximately 75% of the country's forests have been destroyed. "As we tour the northern part of the country we'll learn hands on about deforestation and how it detrimentally affects wildlife." In order to gain a better understanding of this environmental issue, students will also volunteer at a wildlife rescue center that provides shelter and rehabilitation for displaced rainforest species.

The Pepperdine group will also travel to the volcanic region of Fortuna, where they will support education programs in local orphanages. "This will include computer skills, science and technology assistance and Microsoft Word. Knowing computer basics is a skill in Costa Rica that is essential for employment.

"The work we do over our college break does make a difference," says Joseph, who served in the Dominican Republic his sophomore year with Appleseed Expeditions, and last year traveled to Honduras to teach reading and writing skills to elementary school students. "By showing compassion to people in need, we give them hope." Not only do these "Alternative Breaks" provide an outlet for students to leave a positive impact, but it also helps student gain a clearer focus on their career goals. "We have had many students change their majors after serving abroad," says Joe Moore founder of Appleseed Expeditions. They come back from an educational service trip energized and on a mission to use their education to better their global communities.

Bharatbook : Passions, values and incentives – in relation to climate change

opfinder — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:29:30 +0000

– Passions, values and incentives - in relation to climate change

This section report addresses how people's identity relates to attitudes to climate change, and how this can be used in marketing. A general finding from academic research is that people with more materialistic values tend to have less concern for the environment - yet marketers need to know what this means in selling specific low carbon products to specific demographic sub-groups, in different cultures and in different product categories. Selling a micro-energy system is different to selling a Prius, which is different from getting people to take the train! ( http://www.bharatbook.com/detail.asp?id=153447&rt=Passio ... )

This section report also considers how people's personal passions, in Canada, England and the USA, are correlated to concern about climate change - and how this varies by age/gender sub-groups in different countries. A major issue is whether a belief about the threat of climate change makes us more interested in the natural world.

Finally, this section report investigates the interaction between the type of industries people are employed in, and belief in climate change. As Caesar observed 'Men willingly believe what they wish for'.

* Is there a link between materialistic values and attitudes towards climate change, and how strong is this relative to other demographic and cultural differences?

* Do people who think the Prius as 'desirable' have a distinctive values' profile? Ho can this be used in guiding Toyota marketing in the US?

* Can a 'status-based materialistic' marketing approach be useful in getting people to make low-carbon improvements to their home?

* How much do people's passions, interest in sports and other leisure pursuits vary according to their concern about climate change? How might this be useful in a media strategy?

* Does the threat of climate change make people (consciously) attracted to nature? What opportunities and implications are there for the travel industry?

* Do people's opinions about climate change vary by which industry sector their household members are employed?

2C Tech Corporation’s Ramgopal Rao Presents Vision Preserving Technology at 5th Annual OCTANe

opfinder — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 09:05:30 +0000

– IRVINE, CA, October 25--- 2C Tech Corporation, Inc., was selected to present at OCTANe Medical Device & Investment Forum, one of the West's leading medical device industry events. Ramgopal Rao, its Chief Executive Officer, will be presenting. 2C Tech's patent pending SeeQ Technology offers future treatment hope to millions around the globe who suffer from blinding diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. Existing drugs address only a small fraction of this market and available devices are invasive, costly and require surgery.

Founder Jeffrey Olson, M.D., Associate Professor of Ophthalmology, and retinal surgeon at the University of Colorado and cofounder Naresh Mandava, M.D., Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology at the University of Colorado have been developing the SeeQ technology for the past five years.

"Vision loss is one of the most feared disabilities. Sadly, each day brings a further diminution of vision to millions of people around the world," explains 2C Tech's Chief Executive Office Ramgopal Rao. "With 2C Technology, we can envision hope for treating blinding diseases and preserving vision in a cost effective manner within years. We are honored at the opportunity to present our SeeQ Technology before the more than 600 industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors who are expected at this year's OCTAne event." Rao is a successful serial entrepreneur with 20 plus years of medical device and pharmaceutical experience. He is the founder of Acufocus and Tomey Technology.

Preservation of the eye's physiology and stabilization of functional vision is the overwhelming clinical need in the absence of effective pharmaceutical therapies. It is well documented that electrical stimulation of retinal photoreceptor cells preserves the cells. Preclinical data indicates that the injected SeeQ Technology nanoparticles show efficacy in photoreceptor cell preservation. The SeeQ nanoparticles are similar to a conventional solar cell but on a sub-cellular scale. The SeeQ nanoparticles self-direct themselves to the target photoreceptor cells in the retina and preserve them from degeneration through continuous electrical stimulation. Administration of the SeeQ particles is a simple periodic injection.

About 2C Tech Corporation, Inc.

The SeeQ technology from 2C TECH is an innovative, breakthrough biotechnology solution for blinding retinal diseases, a large unmet ophthalmic market need. 2C Tech's SeeQ nanoparticles provide several advantages: they require no external power source and produce electricity in a manner similar to a silicon solar cell and the technology incorporates a guidance system (a targeting protein) that directs them to the compromised cells in the retina. 2C Tech offers great hope of preserving vision to the ever-increasing numbers of the world's aging populations who are facing diminished or lost sight.
