People that desire to create and enterprise do a lot to build the world, but it’s often a lonely and frustrating path. And due to the nature of that, most creative and enterprising people make a key mistake. They keep trying to re-invent the wheel. Please stop doing that.   When you get into a new field, you start by getting a hang of the basics. You dabble, experiment, maybe read or research a little on the topic. This is all good. But then, a lot of artistic/enterprising people make a serious mistake – they get all their lessons on how to imp...

Now, though, Roche is about to encounter a Hollywood experience of an entirely different sort - James Marshall, who played a US Marine in the 1992 hit film ‘A Few Good Men,’ claims his acting career was derailed after he used the Accutane acne pill and developed inflammatory bowel disease. His colon was subsequently removed and he is suing the drugmaker for $30 million $11 million in lost earnings. His trial, and two others, start next week in a New Jersey courtroom and the spectacle is likely to cause a side effect of its own - attention on product liability litigation in ways that previous lawsuits have not generated. For all of the thousands of such lawsuits filed against drugmakers in rec...

She recently pledged to donate $50,000 a year until 2015 with her fiancé, Javier Bardem, to help rebuild schools in Haiti. Check out her video for APJ, below: Post from: BlissTree Daily Do-Gooder: Penelope Cruz and Artists for Peace And Justice (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3603552 Thu, 27 May 2010 13:00:43 +0100 3603552 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3029845&cid=t_175311_107_f&fid=36672&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencebase.com%2Fscience-blog%2Frecognisable-scientists-versus-artists.html According to the promoters of a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London aimed at UK Scientific Heritage: “Scientists are no longer unrecognisable boffins” thanks to the Science in Focus exhibition, which runs until 17 January 2010. Well…I take issue with that remark! Which of the following faces do you recognise? I suspect that most sciencebase readers will recognise all of them being the clever lot they are, but what about the general public? Einstein and Hawking, certainly, Darwin this year only, Dawkins, perhaps. But would they know their Constable from their Monet or spot outmoded and overpriced Brit pop artist Damien Hirst among this crowd? Of course, the exhibition is all about modern scientists, so perhaps I’m being a little unfair: Ludmill...

This is the first year the APA has done a blog about the convention, 10 years after blogs become popular. I guess better late than never is the theme. And I can’t help but think that’s the theme for some of the approved talks, like this cutting-edge talk about Enhancing Your Web Site. I’m sorry, but really? I don’t mean to be critical, but this is the kind of advice I’d expect to see (and that I think I actually gave to a previous convention) circa 1997. Not 2009. You could’ve saved yourself the 50 minute talk with it being boiled down to: Website design is like any other professional...

Green Jr. Hall. She also planned to include hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting layered with blood from the purported miscarriages mixed with petroleum jelly.” When this was revealed, it caused immediate controversy and condemnation. It also resulted in immediate damage control by Yale University, with the student in question suddenly denying that she had (as earlier claimed) “…inseminated herself repeatedly over nine months, took herbal drugs to induce abortions and then recorded the bloody aftermath.” It was, she said, an elaborate e...

Arts and crafts often can furnish that break from the routine and frustration.  Check out this week’s offerings of the Arts Bloggers, at the Round-up of the Arts Bloggers as Spring Arrives.

They are both active with a social group of other senior artists, many in their 80's and 90's. Margaret Haak is proof that it is never to late to exercise the mind by learning something new. She began art and painting at the age of 69. Both senior artists said they enjoy the outlet for creative expression, the other senior friends they make at the art groups, and sharing social time with other senior artists.Florence and Margaret are part of the art group at the Central Coast Seniors Center, San Luis Obispo, California. But, for others outside this area senior centers, clubs, and seniors classes are available everywhere. ...
