Making Reliable and Affordable Healthcare a Reality with Trillium Med Village
Digital Version “More Than Just Healthcare” In recent years, medical advancement and progress have been more exponential than linear. With the development of new cutting-edge technology, medicine is transforming from both a technological and a human standpoint. Although the typical one-size-fits-all blockbuster pharmaceutical has saved millions of lives, several limitations still impede an efficient therapy for each person. Many socio-biological variables, including age, weight, medical history, daily lifestyle, and genetic makeup, affect an individual’s response to any drugs. ‘Personalized Medicine’ has been proposed, which uses pharmacogenomics to deliver the proper dosages based on a person’s genetic composition. “The right patient with the right drug at the right dose at the right time,” is how the FDA defines personalized medicine. It is the process of adjusting medical care to a patient’s unique requirements, preferences, and traits across all phases of care, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Personalized healthcare on the other hand focuses on providing suitable healthcare choices for individuals, facilitating shared decision making, providing personalized care and support planning, social prescribing and community-based support, supported self-management and working with personal health budgets. More and more medical institutions need to focus on personalized healthcare and delivering the right care to their patients. Trillium Med Village is one of these organizations that focuses on personalized care.

Ricardo Ortizcazarin: Helping Businesses Thrive Online with Cazarin Interactive
Digital Version Today, advertising may signify many different things. The typical flyer or poster was the primary form of advertising when it was initially invented, along with word-of-mouth. Then it advanced to use broadcast media, like radio, to assist in drawing in larger audiences. It then moved toward the direction of the television so that an even larger audiences could see it. Finally, businesses began to appreciate the sheer volume of traffic the Internet created. As advanced as it is with technology, advertising always tries to do something new. Every agency or ad-tech company wants to provide its clients with a unique, first-of-its-kind ad campaign. Be it advertising through music videos, video games, website advertising, or outdoor advertising. Or the combination of different media and so on. Making a deal between an advertiser and a publisher sufficed for marketers in the 20th century, but today’s environment has altered, and how companies engage with customers has undergone a significant shift.

That is the purpose of advertising technology. Changing along with the economy and adapting to it is important, especially in this field. One of the tedious aspects to deal with is the new hybrid working force. Today, the industry has a 70% remote workforce, which in the past was 5%. Also, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is disrupting the way things have been done for decades. The company started way back in 1998 as a web design company. For Ricardo, it was one of those “saw the opportunity, and took it” steps. The initial web design company pivoted into a brand agency in 2002, then again in 2009 to become the digital marketing agency it is today.

Elizabeth City State University: Providing Quality Affordable Education. A Legacy of 131 Years.
Digital Version Students, as soon as steps outside the umbrella of schools, are bombarded with questions and dilemmas, majority of them emphasizing the million-dollar decision of choosing colleges. Education changes lives. A university with good facilities and resources to lead students in the right direction is essential. Many families and aspiring college students today are unable to fulfill the dream of obtaining a college degree as they may be unable to afford the tuition, fees, and other additional expenses required by institutions. Competitive academic programs, stellar facilities, and quality resources are essential in meeting the demands of the 21st-century scholar. At Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), we are passionate about changing the lives of students across the state of North Carolina and beyond. In Talks With The Chancellor In a conversation with the Chancellor of Elizabeth City State University, Dr. Karrie G. Dixon, we asked her to share her insight on education and experience as the leader of a prominent university. As a North Carolina native who was raised in Winston-Salem, Dr. Dixon earned her degrees from institutions in the University of North Carolina System. She made it a point to enhance her leadership skills by seeking out opportunities to hone her talents. As a selected protégé from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) Millennium Leadership Initiative, she started her higher education career as an academic enhancement instructor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She was elected as ECSU’s 12th Chief Executive Officer and 7th Chancellor in December 2018 after serving as Interim Chancellor beginning in April 2018. Her leadership has led to transformations at ECSU, including increased student enrollment, enhanced and new innovative academic offerings, and robust philanthropic support and investments. Choosing a College: What To Look For? When there are a plethora of options in front of you, it can get overwhelming to choose the right institution. “What if this course is not for me?” “Where will this lead me to?” “Will this push me ahead?” All these questions start dancing in one’s mind while doing no good to the decision-making process. The three most important considerations a student should evaluate when selecting a higher education institution are: high-quality and rigorous academic program? Is the institution situated in a community that is right for you (for example, a small community versus a large metropolitan city)? Elizabeth City State University – Come to Discover, Leaver to Conquer On March 3, 1891, Hugh Cale, an African American Representative in the N.C. General Assembly from Pasquotank County drafted House Bill 383, which established a normal (teaching) school for “teaching and training teachers of the colored race to teach in common schools of North Carolina.” The bill passed. That bill is what led to the origin of Elizabeth City State University, initially named Elizabeth City State Coloured Normal School. Today, 131 years later, faculty and employees like Dr. Dixon are determined to build a sustainable future for this great institution. Expanding a Commitment to Diversity ECSU is committed to building a culture that actively encourages and creates an environment with diversity and inclusion- an environment where everyone feels included, no matter who they are, what they choose, and where they are. The university provides training and educational opportunities that focus on inculcating awareness and cultural education. Students, in particular, are provided with holistic development through programming offered by student organizations and ECSU’s Prevention, Awareness, and Cultural Education (P.A.C.E.) Center. The university continually recruits diverse faculty, staff and students to support its mission of inclusivity. Providing Academic Services and State-of-the-Art Facilities Over the years, ECSU has invested in the intellectual development of students. Through the University Honors Program and other offerings in the Divisions of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, students have access to robust co-curricular and extracurricular activities, thriving living and learning communities, enhanced living experiences and the unique culture known as Viking spirit and pride. ECSU’s Office of Student Success and Retention provides advising, peer tutoring, service learning and other resources that assist students. The university’s Office of International Programs offers students opportunities to pursue education abroad. Over the years, students have lived and learned in countries, such as Germany, Portugal, Spain and Costa Rica. In 2019, ECSU opened the STEM Complex that houses the Department of Health and Human Studies, to include Pharmaceutical Science, Social Work, Psychology, and Kinesiology and the Department of Aviation and Emergency Management including ECSU’s signature program, Aviation Science, as well as the Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Emergency Management programs. The high-tech facility features aviation laboratories, and drone and air traffic control laboratories and a flight simulator. ECSU offers the only four-year Aviation Science degree program in North Carolina. The university’s Department of Aviation Science and Emergency Management has strategic partnerships with industry leaders, including like United Airlines, AeroX and Piedmont Flight Training, JetBlue, Delta Airlines and PSAAirlines. The university produces private and commercial pilots, air traffic controllers, avionics specialists and aviation managers who are ready to lead in the aviation industry. Shaping Campus Life Extracurricular activities are key to a student’s overall growth and development. The university’s 2020-2025 strategic plan, Forging Our Future, has six key goals, including one centered on “Student Experience.” The 2020-2025 plan develops a collective future with high-quality academic programs that also align with community demands, meet employer needs, enhance the region and state, and drive economic development. Student success not only focuses on providing a quality education and leadership development skills, but also on creating a transformational and nourishing environment that enriches a student with opportunities that support their academic curriculum. Additionally, ECSU is committed to nurturing the mental and physical health of students. In 2020, the university was awarded funding and began implementing the “Viking Victory: Ready. Set. Go! Peer Wellness Ambassadors Leading the Race against Mental Health” initiative. The program has a priority focus on training and professional development to help proactively address mental health at ECSU. The university continues enhancing its on-campus and off-campus living and learning experiences by ensuring student

Mercedes Unveils Concept Cars Better Than Any Tesla
In an attempt to directly compete with Elon Musk, Mercedes-Benz Group AG introduced an electric vehicle with a greater range than any Tesla Inc. model now available. The company unveiled a near-production model of its CLA car, which can outdistance Tesla’s updated Model 3 by more than 750 kilometers (466 miles) on a single charge. Mercedes’s first electric vehicle features a battery system that can add 400 kilometers of range in just 15 minutes of charging and is built on its impending EV underpinnings. Markus Schäfer, chief technical officer of Mercedes-Benz, claims that the automobile uses improved battery cell chemistry and that engineers increased efficiency by reducing losses in its 800V electric-drive system. The Concept Cars Four new vehicles are anticipated to be part of the new EV family: a four-door coupé, a shooting brake, and two SUVs. It is a component of the Group’s ‘Ambition 2039’ strategy, which strives for net carbon neutrality. Mercedes-Benz will only produce EVs on all of its new vehicle platforms starting in 2025. Compared to Tesla’s (TSLA) Model 3 and Model S, which have the longest ranges of the brand and can each travel for less than 375 miles on a single charge, the vehicles will each have a range of more than 750 kilometers (466 miles). As another proof of German automakers’ efforts to stave off expanding EV competition, BMW also made a stir at the show by announcing a new electric vehicle that claims a longer range and faster charging. “We’re taking it to the next level,” Mercedes Chief Technology Officer Markus Schäfer said Sunday in an interview ahead of the IAA car show in Munich. “This car is extremely important for innovation reasons and to push the limits for what we can do with a series car.” Is it Mercedes vs. Tesla? In China, where consumers are increasingly choosing domestic manufacturers like BYD Co. and Nio Inc. that have been better at constructing EVs with software tailored to local tastes, Mercedes is attempting to fend off Tesla and boost sales. By the end of this decade, the business wants to offer only electric vehicles (EVs) and has plans to work with partners to build eight battery plants.

Bermuda Triangle 2.0? Scientists Discover A “Gravity Hole” In the Indian Ocean
A team of researchers made a huge discovery solving the secrets of a strange “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean. The finding clarifies the strange gravitational pattern and advances our knowledge of the processes that shape the oceans and geology of our planet. Solving the mystery Scientists have been aware of a spot in the Indian Ocean where gravity curiously seems to be weaker than in nearby areas for decades. This intriguing phenomenon, known as a “gravity hole,” has defied simple explanations. It has sparked the curiosity of academics who are keen to learn more about its causes. Fresh Perspectives from the Latest Research A team of oceanographers and geophysicists from major academies around the world led a team of researchers. The scientists used cutting-edge satellite equipment and data processing methods. The research helped better understand the gravitational behavior of the Indian Ocean. The Role of Ancient Tectonic Processes The ‘gravity hole’ is a result of prehistoric tectonic processes that took place more than 100 million years ago. The study says that a large underwater eruption, cooling, and solidification produced a volcanic plateau. The primary cause of the gravity imbalance is the volcanic plateau that is beneath layers of sediments. The denser rock’s stronger gravitational attraction is a result of the limited area of reduced gravity and saltwater. Relevance to Geophysics and Oceanography The ‘gravity hole’ discovery provides important insights into oceanography and geophysics. It is essential to have a thorough sense of how gravity is distributed in the ocean for accurate sea level measurements. It helps in monitoring ocean currents, and insight into the behavior of oceanic plates. In addition, this study has effects that go beyond the Indian Ocean. For scientists, it offers useful data for researching similar formations and gravity variations. The information could be used to pinpoint historical volcanic eruptions and their impact on Earth’s evolution and past climatic patterns. Bringing to Light Earth’s Secrets The ‘gravity hole’ in the Indian Ocean reminds us that despite huge advances, our planet has mysteries that have yet to be solved. The ability of cutting-edge technology and global cooperation to solve the mysteries of the natural world is visible with this finding. For the scientific community, discovering the “gravity hole” in the Indian Ocean is a major triumph. The mysterious phenomenon has been clarified by specialists through careful analysis and analysis. This links it to prehistoric tectonic processes and an underwater volcanic plateau. The study’s results expand our insight into how the oceans behave gravitationally. It offers important new information about the planet’s geological past. Discoveries like these will increase our sense of the complex processes that form our world as scientists continue to explore Earth’s mysteries.
Earth’s Rising Temperature: Killer Heat Waves Every 2-5 Years
Leading scientists studying climate change conducted a thorough investigation and found evidencethat climate change has considerably increased both the probability and intensity of the recentintense heat waves that burned parts of the United States and Europe. The report’s results haveshocked the scientific establishment, highlighting the urgent need for urgent action to stop globalwarming and its possibly deadly consequences. Extraordinary Intensity The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) commissioned the study,which looked at temperature data from the previous ten years and compared it to climate modelsbased on both the actual world and an imaginary one without human-induced climate change. Thefindings were concerning, heat waves that ravaged large portions of the United States and Europeduring that time would have been “virtually impossible” without the massive warming brought on byhuman activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Impact of Climate Change The likelihood of such disastrous heat events in both the real world with human-driven globalwarming and a world without these human-caused factors were examined by researchers usingadvanced climate models. According to their calculations, the likelihood of heat waves has grown bya startling ten times in Europe and by at least five times in the United States. The study alsodiscovered that because of global warming, these heat waves were more intense by about 2 to 3degrees Celsius (3.6 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) due to global warming. Impacts on Human Health and the Environment These heat waves have had disastrous effects. Landscapes have been devastated by crop failures,water shortages, and wildfires, which have an effect on local businesses and way of life. In addition,extreme heat has had a considerable negative impact on public health, increasing the number ofdiseases and deaths from heat-related causes. The urgent need for equitable climate action is highlighted by the unusually severe impact onvulnerable people, including the elderly and the economically underprivileged. The report’s findingshighlight the fact that, in the absence of swift and significant global actions to cut greenhouse gasemissions, extreme heat events once thought to be rare will increase in frequency and intensity. An appeal for action As world leaders consider what has to be done to lessen the effects of climate change, therevelations of the study have increased the urgency of climate discussions. Countries are beingurged urgently to speed up the switch to renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency, andimplement more environmentally friendly agricultural and land-use practices. This ground-breaking analysis serves as a harsh reminder of the major effect that human activitieshave on the climate while the world reels from the destruction brought on by recent heat waves inthe United States and Europe. It clearly shows the link between climate change and extreme heatevents and emphasizes the need for swift global action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and stopthe spread of these terrible occurrences. The report’s message is very clear: if climate change is notaddressed quickly and forcefully, our planet will continue to experience heat waves of historicintensity, posing an existential threat to life as we know it.
