lewisads — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:13:15 +0000

Sacramento, California (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

The Save Our Citrus program is intended to inform the public about citrus diseases that can damage citrus agriculture, such as citrus greening, citrus canker, citrus black spot and sweet orange scab. The USDA is encouraging people to get connected on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr in order to support the cause, spread the word and stay updated on the latest citrus alerts.

Adding Save Our Citrus on these social media sites will grant followers access to the latest citrus news, helpful links, tips, citrus disease photos and even citrus recipes such as lemon bars and orange scones.

The USDA is encouraging people to follow Save Our Citrus through social media. The more the public learns about the harmful effects of citrus diseases on the citrus market and how to report suspected disease, the easier it will be to identify and respond to outbreaks to prevent further disease spread. Getting the word out about citrus disease will help to preserve the health of citrus plants in the U.S. and surrounding territories.

To learn more about the USDAs Save Our Citrus program or to report suspected citrus disease, visit saveourcitrus.org/index.php/affected-areas.

About Save Our Citrus: The United States Department of Agricultures (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service recently updated it Save Our Citrus program. The USDAs goal is to inform the nation about the threat of citrus disease and its potential damaging impact on citrus agriculture while providing ways to report suspected disease. The website includes extensive information about each citrus disease, a map detailing affected areas, citrus safety tips, links to additional resources and information about the need to quarantine certain citrus fruits and plants.

A Guide For Voice Over Artists On Voice Over Training

lewisads — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:36:00 +0000

Between a Hollywood superstar and a voice actor, the latter actually works harder. It is quite difficult for a voice actor to put feelings and emotions to what he is reading, all the while knowing that he’s not seen on screen. He must get into the skin of the character and pump life into the dialogues. This is where voice over training comes into play.

Voice over artists are able to learn the craft of voice acting and find good employment in this field by going through voice over training. Thousands of animated TV shows, cartoons, radio advertisements, web shows and movies are made on a regular basis. Moreover, each movie/TV show has a cast of more than 20-30 characters. There are worldwide opportunities galore for a voice actor.

Basic skills needed to join a voice over training course

Diction is one of the most important tools of the trade. Perfect enunciation is required from the student, hence, it is necessary for him to go to speech classes to perfect his diction. Every voice over actor has two roles to fulfill – “lending voice” and “acting.” So, perfect diction is not enough to begin voice over training – the student must also enroll in an acting course before joining the voice over course.

What’s taught in a voiceover training program

The student learns how to evaluate and interpret commercial copy for announcer and real-person roles. Interpreting narrative copy, as well as technical copy, are learned as well. The course educates the student how to efficiently coordinate mind, mouth and voice so that he can sound true to his character. The student also learns how to take direction.

Reading, recording, play back, and listening are done continuously in an excellent voice talent training course. This is done in order for students to get it right. Students warm-up and perform vocal exercises and learn strategies like timing, inflection, and articulation. They understand how to preserve their voice health. Half-way into the voice over training course, students become adept at using and adjusting tone, pitch, delivery speed and volume for a variety of jobs.

After the main training is over, students learn how to promote their skills, tap the right contacts, and get voice over work. Instructors of the voice over course also assist them in creating a voice over demo, which would become part of their portfolio. A solid voice over training course provides students the opportunity to work in a real studio and understand what they should and shouldn’t do in a sound booth and when behind the microphone.

Selecting a voice over training course

There are two aspects to voice training. A commercial voice over course must be chosen by students who are interested in selling. Commercial voice talents are used for selling. Some of the areas that call for this type of voice overs are radio ads, TV advertisements, phone and other media features. Selling skills are also covered by a voice over course considering that all commercial voice overs sell a service or a product. Acting skills are not dealt with by this course. If a student is fascinated in showbiz, then he should opt for dubbing and a movie or TV voice over course. Such courses require lip-synching, and so the voice over actor has to learn acting skillsets too.

To end, all the world’s a stage and we must play a part. So, if you wish to play your part as a voice actor, enroll for a well-known voice actor training program and learn how to raise your voice.

The moderator. Mark Kvamme of Sequoia Capital proclaimed this a "golden age" of Internet opportunity. He prefers the term "modern media" to describe the current state of media product delivered online. That’s a little retro for my liking. He also shared his "Three Laws of Internet Investing."

1. Clear focus on consumer benefit.
2. It’s about the time spent on your site.
3. You want the user to come back on a regular basis.

Three laws? How about common sense. No laws required for such basic blocking and tackling.

Bill Would Block FDA 510(k) Approval For Medical Devices Associated With Recalls

lewisads — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:02:54 +0000

New York, New York (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports that on January 31, 2012, Democratic Representative Edward Markey of Massachusetts introduced a bill (HR3847) that would block medical devices from utilizing the 510(k) process in order to receive market approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if approval is predicated on the similarity of a previously recalled device.* If passed, the legislation would close a loophole that lets devices like transvaginal mesh receive market clearance if they are substantially similar to a product that has been previously pulled from the market. According to Bloomberg News, [v]aginal implants spurred a Food and Drug Administration alert last year amid patient complaints of pain and internal injuries. The devices were cleared by the agencys 510(k) system, which allowed them to be sold without human testing once the FDA rules they are similar to existing products. In support of the new legislation, House Democrats cited injuries stemming from pelvic mesh implants, which are manufactured by medical device powerhouses including Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Ethicon, and C.R. Bard. The bill would give the FDA authority to reject medical devices if their predecessors were subject to a recall or in the process of being recalled. It would also require medical device manufacturers to explain why their products are different from earlier versions.

Bill Follows Calls For Congressional Hearings To Examine Safety Of Medical Devices

Previously, on January 20, 2012, Representative Henry Waxman of California led House Democrats from the Energy and Commerce Committee in writing a letter to several chairmen, requesting that the Committee hold hearings to review the safety of medical devices implanted into patients.** In support of their petition, the congressmen cited problems associated with medical devices, such as vaginal mesh implants, which have caused serious injuries to patients. According to the congressmen, these harms demonstrate the need for regulatory reform. In order for the bill to become law, HR3847 would need to be passed in the Republican-dominated House and Democratic-controlled Senate before being signed by President Obama.
