Oxford Expression Technologies Launch Revolutionary Cloning Vectors

Leave a comment

Oxford Expression Technologies (OET), the award-winning specialist provider of baculovirus-based protein expression solutions, launches a new range of pOET Ligation Independent Cloning (LIC) vectors.

Oxford, UK, July 24, 2012 – Oxford Expression Technologies (OET), the award-winning specialist provider of baculovirus-based protein expression solutions, launches a new range of pOET Ligation Independent Cloning (LIC) vectors. The new LIC vectors facilitate faster and simpler gene transfer into their world renowned flashBAC system for baculovirus protein expression. They are an evolution of the easy to use and highly reliable pOET transfer vectors and provide a host of new advantages over conventional cloning methods.

As the name suggests, ligation independent cloning removes the need to undertake the ligation step in the cloning procedure, this is typically the most troublesome part of any cloning experiment so these new LIC vectors represent obvious benefits to scientists who utilize protein expression techniques.

Passing comment, Richard Broadhead, Sales and Marketing Manager at Oxford Expression Technologies said, “We are pleased to announce the launch of the new pOET ligation independent cloning vectors, they remove a problematic part of the cloning procedure and we are very pleased that we can pass these benefits on to our customers” he continued, “As well as being faster and easier, our latest innovation also allows laboratories to standardize their protocols because there is no need to take into account the length of the insert sequence to be cloned, another benefit conventional cloning methods cannot offer.”

Oxford Expression Technologies invites anyone with an interest in baculovirus protein expression to visit their website – http://oetltd.com/

Oxford Expression Technologies is a biotechnology company specializing in the use of baculovirus vectors, a eukaryotic expression system that can express a large variety of recombinant proteins. Oxford Expression Technologies provides recombinant protein expression products, services and consultancy to many global pharmaceutical companies. The Company’s proprietary flashBAC technology enables large amounts of a given protein to be produced in culture. Its internationally renowned expertise and products enable proteins to be produced faster, more easily and cost-effectively using automated and high-throughput methods compared with other baculovirus expression systems. This contributes to the development of new drugs and research targeted towards understanding how proteins work in health and disease.
The company was founded in 2007 as a result of collaboration between Oxford Brookes University and the Natural Environment Research Council to provide researchers with custom proteins for research purposes.

Veritas Prep Celebrates Ten-Year Anniversary

Leave a comment

July Marks Significant Milestone For the Largest Global Provider of Test Prep and Admissions Consulting Services

Malibu, California, July 23, 2012 – Veritas Prep, the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services, celebrates a significant milestone this month: its ten year anniversary, the company announced today. Co-founders Chad Troutwine and Markus Moberg officially launched Veritas Prep on July 1, 2002. Troutwine and Moberg met at the Yale School of Management while earning their MBAs and started Veritas Prep after winning several business plan competitions, including Yale’s. Over the last decade, the company has grown from a two-person shop to the largest test prep and admissions consulting services provider in the world.

“We created Veritas Prep because prospective MBA applicants were not satisfied with the substandard GMAT courses offered by other providers. Upon its launch, our program offered twice as many classroom hours, three times the number of practice tests and far more rigorous instructor standards, and business surged,” said Troutwine, co-founder and CEO of Veritas Prep. “It was clear from the beginning that our GMAT students also wanted our advice on the business school admissions process. Since then, Veritas Prep has become a leader in that space, too.”

At its launch, Veritas Prep’s flagship classroom GMAT prep course was more comprehensive than others on the market. It was also first of its kind to focus on higher order thinking and be taught exclusively by instructors who scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT – many of whom are still Veritas Prep instructors to this day. In response to the unmatched success of Veritas Prep students, other companies have adopted similar features.

“It has been ten years since we first challenged the long-standing duopoly of Kaplan and Princeton Review by creating a higher standard of test preparation for the GMAT,” said Moberg, co-founder of Veritas Prep. “The last decade has seen us go from a start-up to a standout with our philosophy to ‘think like the test maker’ and focus on reasoning and higher order thinking. We stay a step ahead of others in the industry by continuously updating and perfecting our curriculum, products and service offerings.”
 
Veritas Prep was the first company to create online “on demand” (self-paced) GMAT courses and GMAT mobile apps and it is the only company to assemble a team of admissions consultants representing all of the top 20 MBA programs. Veritas Prep offers classroom courses in more than 90 cities worldwide, live online courses, GMAT On Demand programs, mobile modules for the iPad and iPhone and a full suite of admissions consulting services.

Reflecting on the success of the last ten years, Veritas Prep recently noted several lessons learned. For example, the qualities that made Veritas Prep unique at its launch have proven to be a formula that leads to the biggest score increases: (1) the highest instructor standards, (2) more classroom hours and (3) a focus on higher order thinking skills rather than the “content-based” learning promoted by its competitors. And as an organization, an unwavering focus on course improvement and innovation – even if it means sacrificing short-term profit – is a winning recipe for long-term health and vitality.

“At Veritas Prep, we’re proud to have created a company that is ‘built to last,’ and we owe much of our success to our ability to attract and motivate people who desire to master their craft,” said Troutwine. “Everyone at Veritas Prep is focused on contributing to the most effective and successful test prep company ever created. We look forward to celebrating many more milestones to come.”

About Veritas Prep:
Veritas Prep is the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services, offering industry-leading programs to help applicants improve their test scores and gain admission to the world’s best colleges and universities and graduate schools.

RemoteKEY Convenience Controller by Mods4cars Reduced to 99 Euros

Leave a comment

Automotive aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars permanently reduced the retail price for it’s Audi A2 RemoteKEY convenience add-on module. This module allows owners to open and close all windows from the factory remote. Additionally the sunroof can be closed remotely as well. All operations are “one-touch“ enabled and don’t require any buttons to be held down. The new MSRP is 99 Euros + tax.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), July 23, 2012 — Effective immediately, the RemoteKEY ( http://www.mods4cars.com ) convenience add-on module for Audi A2 has been reduced in price and is now available for 99 Euros + tax instead of 169 Euros + tax. The easy-to-install kit adds a handful of features to the car that make every day use more enjoyable.

All windows can be opened or closed from the original factory remote fob with convenient one-touch operation. The original key fob does not need to be altered or replaced. Another feature is the ability to close the sunroof from the remote. This allows owners to quickly close the sunroof from afar without having to run to and sit inside the car, should they get caught with the car parked outside in a summer storm.

“We are entering the summer season with a decent price reduction, to enable more A2 owners than ever to enjoy our intelligent convenience module, which makes daily use of their cars even more fun.“ says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. Another really neat feature is remote activated unlocking of the fuel cap. No more need to walk around to the driver’s side to press that hidden switch.

Other options include fully-automatic closing of all windows and sunroof upon locking the car, so neither can ever be “forgotten“ again. Also it is now possible to control all four windows at once with a switch combination on the driver’s door and the module can be programmed to automatically lock the doors while the car is in motion.

The module can be temporarily disabled if needed while retaining all other user configurable settings. It comes equipped with a standard USB port for quick and easy firmware upgrades and PC or laptop based module configuration. Support software and updates are available free of charge on the outfit’s website http://www.mods4cars.com.

Installation is quick and easy, thanks to a custom designed plug-in-between wiring adapter which uses OEM plugs and connectors. The connection between the RemoteKEY kit and the vehicle electronics is easily made by just plugging the connectors in between. No wires need to be cut or spliced. Complete removal is always possible.

Mods4cars has been developing specialized convenience and convertible top controller modules since 2002. Kits are being offered for: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

A demonstration of this product for Audi A2 can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmYQGmDB7GE

Further details and purchasing information can be found online at: http://www.mods4cars.com

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Hawaiian Experience Spa Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Leave a comment

Hawaiian Experience Spa, with locations in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona is celebrating its fifth anniversary since it opened its first spa on July 17, 2007.

Scottsdale, AZ (USA), July 17, 2012 — Hawaiian Experience Spa ( http://hawaiianexperiencespa.com ) is celebrating its 5th anniversary since it first opened on July 17, 2007. The spa originally opened for business under the name “Healing Touch Spa, A Hawaiian Experience” in a 1,200 square foot facility at 116th and Shea, in Scottsdale, Arizona. The name was officially shortened to the current name, “Hawaiian Experience Spa” in 2009. In September of 2011 the day spa opened a second location in Chandler, Arizona that is nearly double the size of the original location. Then in December of 2011 the spa relocated its Scottsdale day spa to a new, larger, location a few blocks away from the original spa.

Hawaiian Experience Spa attributes its success, in tough economic times, in part to its hands on management. The primary owner, Steve Ibach, is a licensed massage therapist and Hawaiian lomi lomi instructor. He, along with his wife Cathy Ibach and son Mike Ibach (both of whom are co-owners) work full time at the spas ensuring each and every client has an exceptional experience during every visit. Additionally, the spa can adapt quickly to economic changes and clients’ needs in a way many competitors cannot.

Hawaiian Experience Spa is unique in several ways, offering client’s an experience unlike that of any other day spa in the area;

* Medical Level Massage Therapists: First, and perhaps most important, the spa only hires experienced medical level massage therapists. This differs from many local clinics who routinely hire newly graduated therapists.
* The spa has over 80 unique services. Many of the massages revolve around traditional Hawaiian lomi lomi which is very rare outside of Hawaii. The couples’ massages offered are one of a kind and couples come from as far away as Tucson, Arizona just to experience a Lomi for Lovers Massage and other couples experiences. Eminence organic facials, and organic body treatments round out the menu to provide clients with a full spa experience.
* Value pricing is also an important part of the business, especially during these economic times. The spa offers an optional membership for only $49 per month making its prices comparable to the large chain clinics while still offering superior services.
* Organic Products: Hawaiian Experience Spa uses the highest quality organic lotions, oils, scrubs, and other products for the health of our clients and our staff.

About Hawaiian Experience Spa:
Hawaiian Experience Spa ( http://hawaiianexperiencespa.com ), headquartered at 11300 E. Via Linda, Ste E, Scottsdale, AZ 85259 (phone: 480-661-2991) is a unique day spa for women, men, and couples.

Smoking, Obesity And Lack Of Activity Named As Global Killers

Leave a comment

Research published in leading medical journal The Lancet suggests that a lack of exercise can be as big a killer as obesity and smoking.

According to the study, approximately one third of adults do not do a healthy amount of exercise, and it is suggested that this could be causing 5.3 million deaths worldwide each year – the equivalent of one in ten deaths – from related illnesses such as breast cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Nutritionist Caron Leckie, who works for the UK’s largest provider of chef prepared meals and delivered diets, Diet Chef, comments: “In my experience the weather has a big impact on activity levels, certainly in the UK, and many people use it as an excuse to stay indoors and watch television, rather than getting out and about.

“In addition to this, thousands of our customers have jobs which see them sitting down at a desk for up to nine hours each day. It is logical that this sedentary lifestyle can be conducive to obesity.”

Ms Leckie also added that Diet Chef is “working hard to help people to lose weight with our calorie-controlled diet” and that as a company they are also “working closely with a personal trainer to offer advice and tips on how to move more, no matter what your age, weight or health status.”

It is recommended that adults should do a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, this equates to just over 20 minutes per day.

According to a report by the BBC, “researchers said the problem was now so bad it should be treated as a pandemic”.

Ms Leckie’s top tips for motivation to exercise include:
1. Add An Activity
2. Try Something Different
3. Find a Positive Each Week
4. Take up a Hobby

Read her full list of tips on the Diet Chef blog.

Hanoi, Vietnam, July 21, 2012 — On this Laos luxury adventure tour, intrepid travelers will discover the best places in southern Champassak, Vientiane, Vang Vieng, Xieng Khoang and Luang Prabang.

For many travelers, the image of this landlocked country is laid-back, serene, rustic, and filled with mountainous regions along in the banks of the Mekong River. Laos keeps its ancient charm largely intact, and also offers an exceptionally varied topography and multilayered culture.

“This luxury adventure tour which covers all the highlights of this culturally and scenically diverse country combines the ancient wonders of Luang Prabang and the waterways of northern Laos with the rural beauty of the Bolaven Plateau and the spectacular Wat Phou in the south. While Laos does not offer a coastline or famed beaches, it does have 4,000 islands in the south, as well as the Khonephabangeng Falls, the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia.
