Offbeat Entertainment Launches New Way to Play with Music – Chemistry Club: Navigator

Posted: Published on August 1st, 2014

Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 01, 2014 Offbeat Entertainment has been incorporating music into popular video games for many years and is now developing games to promote artists and their music. Best described as a music video meets a game, their latest release Chemistry Club: Navigator allows fans of the band to experience music in a whole new way. Chemistry Club: Navigator takes players on a journey through a whimsical world inspired by the song Navigator and challenges players to score a perfect run. The game is free to play and contains an exclusive making of video, alternate versions of the song, and many new airships for the game that can be unlocked with a donation to the band. People rarely pay for music these days with services like Spotify giving them all the music they could ever want for free states Justin Mette, CEO of Offbeat. A game designed specifically around a song gives the artist a new revenue stream from their music and a unique way to engage fans. Chemistry Club loves working on creative projects, says lead singer Jeff Wiencrot. Offbeat was a natural fit. The game is a truly exciting way to share our music.

Apple’s new salary will be 3 times higher than chemistry colleagues

Posted: Published on August 1st, 2014

MANOA, OAHU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Fired University of Hawaii Manoa Chancellor Tom Apple will be reassigned to a tenured faculty post that would pay him nearly three times as much as the average professor in UHs chemistry department, but its unclear whether he will stay at the university. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm in one of those places where this is a shock, so I haven't really thought about what the future is," Apple told Hawaii News Now Thursday, a day after he was handed a termination notice by UH President David Lassner. Read Tom Apple's UH Documents: Tom Apple letter to President Lassner President Lassners written Evaluation of Tom Apple Tom Apple's rebuttal to UH President David Lassner Apple's settlement with UH will pay him $100,000 and reassigns him to a tenured full professor position in UH's chemistry department , where he will be the highest-paid professor by far, earning $299,000 a year, while the average pay of the other 11 chemistry professors is roughly $108,000 annually. Asked if he will return to the classroom, his answer was not clear. "I love teaching chemistry, Apple said. As you know, I taught it last spring. I taught … Continue reading →

For bats and dolphins, hearing gene prestin adapted for echolocation

Posted: Published on August 1st, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 1-Aug-2014 Contact: Joe Caspermeyer MBEpress@gmail.com 480-258-8972 Molecular Biology and Evolution (Oxford University Press) A little over a decade ago, prestin was found to be a key gene responsible for hearing in mammals. Prestin makes a protein found in the hair cells of the inner ear that contracts and expands rapidly to transmit signals that help the cochlea, like an antique phonograph horn, amplify sound waves to make hearing more sensitivity. Now, in a new study published in the advanced online edition of Molecular Biology and Evolution, Peng Shi, et al., have shown that prestin has also independently evolved to play a critical role in the ultrasonic hearing range of animal sonar, or echolocation, to help dolphins navigate through murky waters or bats find food in the dark. Although both toothed whales and echolocating bats can emit high frequency echolocation calls, which show a substantial diversity in terms of their shape, duration, and amplitude, they receive and analyze the echoes returned from objects by their high-frequency hearing. The research team finely dissected the function of the prestin protein from 2 sonar guided bats and the bottlenose dolphin compared with non-sonar mammals. Evolutionary analyses of the prestin protein sequences … Continue reading →

:: 01, Aug 2014 :: TAKING THE GUESSWORK OUT OF CANCER THERAPY

Posted: Published on August 1st, 2014

Singapore, August 1, 2014 Researchers and doctors at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN), Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) have co-developed the first molecular test kit that can predict treatment and survival outcomes in kidney cancer patients. This breakthrough was recently reported in European Urology, the worlds top urology journal. According to IBN Executive Director Professor Jackie Y. Ying, By combining our expertise in molecular diagnostics and cancer research, we have developed the first genetic test to help doctors prescribe the appropriate treatment for kidney cancer patients based on their tumor profile. Dr. Min-Han Tan, who is IBN Team Leader and Principal Research Scientist and a visiting consultant at the Division of Medical Oncology NCCS, shared his motivation, As a practicing oncologist, I have cared for many patients with kidney cancer. I see the high costs of cancer care, the unpredictable outcomes and occasional futility of even the best available drugs. This experience inspired our development of this assay to improve all these for patients. The study was conducted retrospectively with tissue samples collected from close to 280 clear cell renal carcinoma patients who underwent surgery at SGH between 1999 and 2012. High quality … Continue reading →

Bodies Come Crashing to the Ground

Posted: Published on August 1st, 2014

Drawing human anatomy can be an adventure if you take it to the limits. Artist and draftsman Leah Yerpe certainly does. Her large- and small-scale drawings feature figures freefalling, tumbling, and twisting as they swoop across the page. For instance, in the body drawing Pleiades, the artist shows a commanding understanding of the diverse movements of the body's core. The barrel of the torso is shown as it folds over itself; it expands through the rib cage when the figure arches her back; and her hips tilt to follow the backward movement of the legs. Yerpe also has an anatomical sensitivity when rendering what I like to think of as the exclamation points of the body--the hands and feet. These may not be the first thing you pay attention to when viewing her drawings, but they are the culmination of all the bodily tension and power she is showing. If an arm is bent and cocked back, chances are the hand is drawn in accord with the movement--fingers clenched into a fist and the tendons in the wrist slightly bulge. Human anatomy for artists can be a gateway for incredibly dynamic and unprecedented figural works, allowing you to explore the … Continue reading →

Cuomo seeks faster treatment for kids with epilepsy

Posted: Published on August 1st, 2014

Jon Campbell, 7:16 p.m. EDT July 30, 2014 A file photo of Gov. Andrew Cuomo meeting with the Democrat and Chronicle Editorial Board on April 10.(Photo: TINA MACINTYRE-YEE, staff photographer) ALBANY Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday directed the state Department of Health to speed up the process for getting medical marijuana to children with epilepsy. In a letter to Acting Health Commissioner Howard Zucker, Cuomo cited the recent deaths of two Buffalo-area girls who suffered from epilepsy. He asked Zucker to explore ways to get the drug to epileptic children sooner than the end of 2015, when the state is required to have its full medical-marijuana program up and running. "Striking the right balance to ensure public safety and public health are protected is crucial," Cuomo wrote to Zucker. "That said, I ask that you review the eighteen month implementation timeline to determine if there is any way to accelerate the process for this specific dire population." Cuomo's directive comes two days after his office and the state's health commissioner met with a dozen advocates for medical marijuana, who pushed the state to implement the program more quickly. Under a new state law passed in June, the Department of Health … Continue reading →
