The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-powered charity dedicated to funding childhood cancer research, announces its Kids Are Special: Let’s Treat Them That Way national campaign. Focused on celebrating kids and giving them the happy childhoods they deserve, the campaign highlights the need for finding treatments that are specifically designed for kids with cancer.
With this bold new initiative, St. Baldrick’s looks to change the narrative around pediatric cancers, by showing kids as their truest selves – fun-loving, carefree, refreshingly honest, and always a little goofy. St. Baldrick’s puts the emphasis back on kids, while disempowering the label of “cancer.” All communication is strategically designed to remind us all that as adults we have the power to give kids happy childhoods free from cancer by helping to fund the best research worldwide. The campaign includes TV, print, radio, digital, and billboard placements featuring real kids doing kid-like things; from playing with their food to getting caught with paint on their faces, all with the message: Kids Are Special: Let’s Treat Them That Way.

After only 16 weeks of existence, foetuses hear and respond to music as long as it is emitted from their mother’s vagina. Foetuses respond to this stimulus by opening their mouths and pulling their tongues out as far as possible, making vocalisation movements – prior to the acquisition of language.
This is the main conclusion of the study conducted by the team of Institut Marquès, which boasts the collaboration of Alberto Prats, Professor of Anatomy and Human Embryology of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Barcelona.
The study, entitled “Foetal facial expression in response to intravaginal music emission”, is published this week in the journal Ultrasound of the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS).
According to Dr. Marisa López-Teijón, the Head of Assisted Reproduction at Institut Marquès and the principal researcher and author of the clinical study: “We have discovered that the formula for foetuses to hear like us is to emit music from the mother’s vagina. They barely hear the sound that reaches them through their mother’s abdomen: the soft tissues of the abdomen and the inside of the mother’s body absorb the soundwaves”.

Imagine your world in silence. Imagine the colour and vibrancy of your world sapped and living in silence. Imagine without communication how your world would be colourless, and you would feel boxed in, unable to communicate, share, grow. Your voice expresses who you are in the world, can you imagine losing your voice? Can you imagine your world in silence?
GivingvoiceUK and the giving voice campaign aim to secure access to speech and language therapy for all those who need it. Speech and language therapy means that people don't need to live in silence. No-one should have to live without speech; lend you support at http://www.givingvoiceuk.org/addyourvoice
At the end of the year and as we approach PR Newswire’s 60th anniversary in March, there is a natural inclination to reflect. At PR Newswire, we are just as interested in looking forward to the future for communicators of all kinds – PR, corporate, marketing and shareholder – and their audiences. While technology continues to evolve and new communication channels continue to emerge, everyone at PR Newswire remains focused on helping brands and organizations earn targeted attention from consumers, investors and the media by amplifying our clients’ narratives and making their content more discoverable.

Designing without 3D -CAD? That was yesterday. The calculation and simulation of computer models are now standard for even the smallest engineering firms. Meanwhile, the next stage of development has begun. Now the physical properties of various materials, the reaction of a module to certain influences, as well as the functioning of the entire system are also virtually modeled.
Today, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service (NWS) urge Americans to take actions to prepare for a wide array of hazards by developing a family communication plan and downloading alerts and learning about local hazards. FEMA is encouraging people to take these actions in conjunction with America's PrepareAthon!SM, a grassroots, community-based campaign for action designed to increase preparedness and resilience.
America's PrepareAthon! provides an important opportunity for individuals, organizations and communities to take action to prepare for specific hazards through group discussions, drills and exercises. Visit the America's PrepareAthon! website, ready.gov/prepare, to register your participation, for more information, and to sign up.
“Some disasters come with warning and others with little or no warning,” said FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate. “Families, businesses and organizations need to prepare today - know your hazards, assemble supplies and practice what to do in case a disaster strikes.”
