ROBBINSVILLE, NJ, June 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Juggling time between a successful career and raising children can be quite a challenge--but Lucimar Dixon manages her time well. In addition, she spends countless hours volunteering in her local community. She places high value on ensuring she gives generously to those less fortunate than herself.
Lucimar is a member of the Princeton Alliance Church, a place Lucimar tends to feel welcomed and encouraged to give to others. She often joins other members of the church to volunteer and work within the Plainsboro, New Jersey community. Belonging to church provides Lucimar with a way to become even more plugged in and aware of her community and ways in which she can help the people around her.
"There is such a dire need right here in our Plainsboro community," said community activist Lucimar Dixon. "It only seems right that I'd do everything in my power to make sure the needs of my neighbors are met."
On top of spending hours volunteering with members of Princeton Alliance Church, Lucimar also donates money to an elderly couple in Florida to ensure they do not go hungry. She also supports unwed Brazilian mothers and children living in poverty by donating sums of money they can use to purchase food, housing and other basic necessities. Since Lucimar was born in Brazil, the people hold a special place in her heart and Lucimar often gives generously to Brazilians who need assistance.
Lucimar is a supporter of Benny Hinn Ministries, as well as the 700 club. With these organizations, Lucimar is very involved in praying for others in Plainsboro and the surrounding areas, focusing her attention on reaching out to members of her community.
Lucimar is also involved with local schools, acting as a chaperone for various class trips. She cares deeply for the children of Plainsboro and is teaming up with the school system to ensure their educational needs are met.
Lucimar Dixon is busy with a successful career and raising 3 boys. Lucimar is a community activist who believes helping others should be a priority. She frequently volunteers and gives financially to both her local community and national organizations.

USC researchers find new clues about protein linked to Parkinson's disease
2011-06-19
Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have uncovered structural clues about the protein linked to Parkinson's disease (PD), which ultimately could lead to finding a cure for the degenerative neurological disorder.
The alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) protein is commonly found in the healthy human brain even though its function is not clear. The protein has been the subject of substantial Parkinson's research, however, because it is a major component in the protein clumps found in PD cases.
Unlike most proteins, ...
Medical debt occurs despite insurance, UA study shows
2011-06-19
Tucson, Ariz. - Health insurance is not protecting Arizonans from having problems paying medical bills, and having bill problems is keeping families from getting needed medical care and prescription medicines, a new study has found.
According to a study published online June 16, 2011, by the American Journal of Public Health, after taking age, income and health status into account, simply being insured does not lower the odds of accruing debt related to medical care or medications. In addition, says University of Arizona College of Pharmacy research scientist Patricia ...
UCLA team reports scalable fabrication of self-aligned graphene transistors, circuits
2011-06-19
Graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon, has the potential to make consumer electronic devices faster and smaller. But its unique properties, and the shrinking scale of electronics, also make graphene difficult to fabricate and to produce on a large scale.
In September 2010, a UCLA research team reported that they had overcome some of these difficulties and were able to fabricate graphene transistors with unparalleled speed. These transistors used a nanowire as the self-aligned gate — the element that switches the transistor between various states. But ...
Ocean's harmful low-oxygen zones growing, are sensitive to small changes in climate
2011-06-19
Fluctuations in climate can drastically affect the habitability of marine ecosystems, according to a new study by UCLA scientists that examined the expansion and contraction of low-oxygen zones in the ocean.
The UCLA research team, led by assistant professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences Curtis Deutsch, used a specialized computer simulation to demonstrate for the first time that the size of low-oxygen zones created by respiring bacteria is extremely sensitive to changes in depth caused by oscillations in climate. These oxygen-depleted regions, which expand or ...
Graphene may gain an 'on-off switch,' adding semiconductor to long list of material's achievements
2011-06-19
College Park, MD (June 17, 2011)--A team of researchers has proposed a way to turn the material graphene into a semiconductor, enabling it to control the flow of electrons with a laser "on-off switch".
Graphene is thinnest and strongest material ever discovered. It's a layer of carbon atoms only one-atom thick, but 200 times stronger than steel. It also conducts electricity extremely well and heat better than any other known material. It is almost completely transparent, yet so dense that not even atoms of helium can penetrate it. In spite of the impressive list of promising ...
Madagascar marine resources plundered by international seafood markets
2011-06-19
Fish catches in Madagascar over the last half-century are double the official reports, and much of that fish is being caught by unregulated traditional fishers or accessed cheaply by foreign fishing vessels. Seafood exports from Madagascar often end up in a European recipe, but are a recipe for political unrest at home, where two-thirds of the population face hunger.
These are the findings of a recent study led by researchers from the University of British Columbia's Sea Around Us Project in collaboration with the Madagascar-based conservation organisation Blue Ventures. ...
Not just another brick in the (plant cell) wall
2011-06-19
Co-author Professor Tony Bacic from the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Walls, School of Botany and the Bio21 Institute, at the University of Melbourne, said plant cell walls (plant biomass) represent the world's largest renewable resource.
"Plant sciences have become a major new driver of international research due to their central role as renewable sources of transport fuels, as functional foods to improve human health, and as a source of raw materials for industrial processes," he said.
The study has been published in the current issue of the international ...
First X-ray lasing of SACLA
2011-06-19
RIKEN and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) have successfully produced a first beam of X-ray laser light with a wavelength of 1.2 Angstroms. This light was created using SACLA, a cutting-edge X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility unveiled by RIKEN in February 2011 in Harima, Japan. SACLA (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser) opens a window into the structure of atoms and molecules at a level of detail never seen before.
The use of ultra high-intensity X-ray free electron laser light to explore the miniature structure of matter, until ...
The way you relate to your partner can affect your long-term mental and physical health, study shows
2011-06-19
The potentially lasting implications of day-to-day couple conflict on physical and mental well-being are revealed in a study published today in the journal Personal Relationships.
Until now research has concentrated on the immediate effects of romantic conflict, typically in controlled laboratory settings. In one of the first studies to look at the longer term, Professor Angela Hicks investigated the physiological and emotional changes taking place in couples the day after conflict occurred, specifically taking into account the differing styles of emotional attachment ...
World Health Organization releases latest Dengue Bulletin
2011-06-19
Luiz Tadeu Moraes Figuedo's paper on dengue in Brazil confirms the country's worsening trend; from 1999-2009, where cases rose at 6.2% per year and dengue deaths at 12.0% per year.
Carmen Perez and co-workers, reporting on dengue vector control in Puerto Rico, found that 83% of the costs ($1.97 per person per year) were funded by the lowest and often the least financed level of government: municipalities.
Examining dengue cases imported into France, Guy LaRuche documented the alarming increase in cases originating from Cote d'Ivoire from only one case in 2006-07 to ...
