The event will take place on August 16th and 17th in Managua, Nicaragua, and will focus on specialized sectors such as apparel, footwear, food processing and manufacturing, as well as world-class bilingual business process outsourcing (BPO) services. Participants will be coming from various countries in Asia, Europe, North, Central and South America.
Some of the topics that will be discussed during this year's edition include an overview of Nicaragua's industrial sector, market access, investment incentives, offshoring guidelines, latest industry trends and the country's most profitable investment opportunities. The program will also include networking activities as well as site visits to successful and leading foreign investment projects operating in the country.
"Nicaragua's pro-business policies, attractive fiscal incentives, skilled labor force, competitive cost structure and continuous government support have proven to be the ideal combination for companies seeking to develop their investment projects.

IBD, LCPD health research in 'Westie' dogs may hold answers to similar human diseases
2011-07-19
The Westie Foundation of America (WFA) announced
today preliminary findings in two major studies involving the health of West Highland White Terriers also
known as Westies. Findings in these and other studies of Westies and other dogs
may hold answers for similar human conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The studies are
jointly funded by the WFA and the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF).
In one study, researchers are looking at the role of a mucosal gene driving inflammation Canine IBD, a
chronic intestinal disorder that creates a bacterial-driven ...
Decisions, decisions, decisions ...
2011-07-19
We all make numerous decisions everyday; unconsciously or consciously, sometimes doing it automatically with little effort or thinking and yet, at other times, we agonize for hours over another. Why do we make these choices – be it from deciding what to have for lunch or whether to say yes to that job offer halfway round the world. Sometimes we make choices on our own, and at other times, the choice is made for us. Exercising control (by making choices) is adaptive and now, a new study, which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of ...
Domestic Violence Charity Announces Fat Burn America Tour: 100 Cities in 100 Days
2011-07-19
What does a passionate founder of a domestic violence charity do when he wants to raise awareness and promote a daily fitness program? Rich Tola, Founder and Chairman of the yoga-inspired nonprofit, The Boulevard Zen Foundation, would say "We're going on a 30,000 mile fundraiser, visiting all 50 states in 100 days. That's 100 cities in 100 days, producing trivia-filled travelogue videos including fat burning workouts that are based on yoga". Ambitious? Yes. Impossible? "Certainly not," says the former Wall Streeter turned actor-filmmaker whose film, ...
Key metabolic pathway implicated in intractable form of breast cancer
2011-07-19
FINDINGS: Using a new in vivo screening system, Whitehead Institute researchers have identified a protein in a key metabolic pathway that is essential in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer. When the expression of the gene that codes for this protein—phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase or PHGDH—is suppressed in tumors and cell lines with an overabundance of the protein, the rate of cellular growth declines markedly.
RELEVANCE: PHGDH is overexpressed in approximately 70% of ER-negative breast cancer patients. Patients with ER-negative disease respond poorly to treatment ...
Penn researchers find neural signature of 'mental time travel'
2011-07-19
PHILADELPHIA — Almost everyone has experienced one memory triggering another, but explanations for that phenomenon have proved elusive. Now, University of Pennsylvania researchers have provided the first neurobiological evidence that memories formed in the same context become linked, the foundation of the theory of episodic memory.
The research was conducted by professor Michael Kahana of the Department of Psychology in the School of Arts and Sciences and graduate student Jeremy R. Manning, of the Neuroscience Graduate Group in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine. They ...
Single traumatic brain injury may prompt long-term neurodegeneration
2011-07-19
PHILADELPHIA - Years after a single traumatic brain injury (TBI), survivors still show changes in their brains. In a new study, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania suggest that Alzheimer's disease-like neurodegeneration may be initiated or accelerated following a single traumatic brain injury, even in young adults.
Over 1.7 million Americans suffer a traumatic brain injury each year, and beyond the immediate effects, growing evidence demonstrates that a single TBI may initiate long-term processes that further damage the brain. ...
USC research: Cancer cells and stem cells share same origin
2011-07-19
Oncogenes are generally thought to be genes that, when mutated, change healthy cells into cancerous tumor cells. Scientists at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have proven that those genes also can change normal cells into stem-like cells, paving the way to a safer and more practical approach to treating diseases like multiple sclerosis and cancer with stem cell therapy.
"The reality may be more complicated than people think," said Jiang F. Zhong, Ph.D., assistant professor of pathology at the Keck School. "What is a stem cell ...
Hydrogen may be key to growth of high-quality graphene
2011-07-19
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., July 18, 2011 – A new approach to growing graphene greatly reduces problems that have plagued researchers in the past and clears a path to the crystalline form of graphite's use in sophisticated electronic devices of tomorrow.
Findings of researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory demonstrate that hydrogen rather than carbon dictates the graphene grain shape and size, according to a team led by ORNL's Ivan Vlassiouk, a Eugene Wigner Fellow, and Sergei Smirnov, a professor of chemistry at New Mexico State University. This ...
Nova Scotia - Best Beaches in Canada

UCLA study shows bacteria use Batman-like grappling hooks to 'slingshot' on surfaces
2011-07-19
Bacteria use various appendages to move across surfaces prior to forming multicellular bacterial biofilms. Some species display a particularly jerky form of movement known as "twitching" motility, which is made possible by hairlike structures on their surface called type IV pili, or TFP.
"TFP act like Batman's grappling hooks," said Gerard Wong, a professor of bioengineering and of chemistry and biochemistry at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA. "These grappling hooks can extend and ...
