2013-03-01

ABBOTSFORD, WI, March 01, 2013 (Press-News.org) What would cause an author to support giving away 5,000 copies of her own book through personal donations and by declining all royalty payments? These aren't just any books - they share the author's message of hope, encouragement and truth for women facing the fears of an unplanned pregnancy. These books are being offered free as an outreach effort to save lives by Elizabeth Ministry International working in conjunction with Christian author and pro-life speaker, Sheila M. Luck, and her publisher, Life Sentence Publishing.

Jeannie Hannemann, Founder and Executive Director of Elizabeth Ministry International, explains, "Our ministry is based on the visitation story of Mary and Elizabeth in Luke's Gospel, in which the sanctity of life and power of the Holy Spirit is revealed in the common sharing between these two women. Following their example, Elizabeth Ministry seeks to provide insight and support through people willing to share their personal experiences."

Jeannie further explains, "In this ministry, it's important to never underestimate the power of a single conversation; but we can't be everywhere all the time. That's why when Sheila Luck approached us with the opportunity to acquire 5000 copies of her book, My Baby's Feet: Choice, Death and the Aftermath, to be given away to women facing an unplanned pregnancy, we were eager to make her book available."

Through My Baby's Feet, Sheila shares her personal experience of an unplanned pregnancy at age seventeen, abortion, and her life in the aftermath. She provides an empathetic message for all women confronting the many fears that naturally arise when facing an unplanned pregnancy. Through her story, the truth about abortion is told: abortion's not the easy choice; it's not the simplest answer; it ends the life of a pre-born baby; and it can seriously impact the emotional well-being of the mother. Additionally, for those that may have chosen abortion, Sheila provides a message of hope and healing.

Because she can't be speak personally with every woman struggling with an unplanned pregnancy, Sheila hopes her book will encourage others to make a living choice. She believes, if you save the life of the baby, you also save the life of the mother.

Elizabeth Ministry will give away 5000 copies of My Baby's Feet to women facing an unplanned pregnancy by gifting the books to pregnancy centers nationwide. They will start with a booth at the Heartbeat International annual convention in Dallas, TX, in April 2013. Thereafter, they will send the books to all pregnancy centers who request them, for the cost of shipping and handling, while supplies last.

Kennedy Engineers Designing Plant Habitat For Space Station

2013-03-01

Some of the research on the International Space Station focuses on meeting the needs of long-term spaceflight to destinations such as asteroids or Mars. A group of engineers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is developing a plant habitat with a large growth chamber to learn the effects of long-duration microgravity exposure to plants in space. Through most of Kennedy's history, the space center has focused on receiving, processing and launching vehicles developed at other centers. Design projects such as the plant habitat give people at the Florida spaceport ...

Neutron scattering provides data on adsorption of ions in microporous materials

2013-02-28

The adsorption of ions in microporous materials governs the operation of technologies as diverse as water desalination, energy storage, sensing and mechanical actuation. Until now, however, researchers attempting to improve the performance of these technologies haven't been able to directly and unambiguously identify how factors such as pore size, pore surface chemistry and electrolyte properties affect the concentration of ions in these materials as a function of the applied potential. To provide the needed information, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology ...

Physicists demonstrate the acceleration of electrons by a laser in a vacuum

2013-02-28

Accelerating a free electron with a laser has been a longtime goal of solid-state physicists. David Cline, a distinguished professor in the UCLA Department of Physics and Astronomy, and Xiaoping Ding, an assistant researcher at UCLA, have conducted research at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York and have established that an electron beam can be accelerated by a laser in free space. This has never been done before at high energies and represents a significant breakthrough, Cline said, adding that it also may have implications for fusion as a new energy source. ...

New protein quality method provides important information on sustainable diet

2013-02-28

Rosemont, IL (February 27, 2013) – A groundbreaking report by an Expert Consultation of the Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO) has recommended a new, advanced method for assessing the quality of dietary proteins. The report, "Dietary protein quality evaluation in human nutrition", recommends that the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) replace the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) as the preferred method of measuring protein quality. The report recommends that more data be developed to support full implementation, ...

Mutation location is the key to prognosis

2013-02-28

HOUSTON – (Feb. 28, 2013) – The three most important factors in real estate are location, location, location, and the same might be said for mutations in the gene MECP2, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital in a report in the journal Cell. "Where a mutation occurs can affect the severity of the symptoms of the disease," said Dr. Huda Zoghbi, professor of molecular and human genetics at BCM and director of the NRI. Zoghbi, corresponding author of the report, found the ...

UCLA study could explain why some people get zits and others don't

2013-02-28

The bacteria that cause acne live on everyone's skin, yet one in five people is lucky enough to develop only an occasional pimple over a lifetime. What's their secret? In a boon for teenagers everywhere, a UCLA study conducted with researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute has discovered that acne bacteria contain "bad" strains associated with pimples and "good" strains that may protect the skin. The findings, published in the Feb. 28 edition of the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, could lead to a myriad ...

Action video games boost reading skills

2013-02-28

Much to the chagrin of parents who think their kids should spend less time playing video games and more time studying, time spent playing action video games can actually make dyslexic children read better. In fact, 12 hours of video game play did more for reading skills than is normally achieved with a year of spontaneous reading development or demanding traditional reading treatments. The evidence, appearing in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on February 28, follows from earlier work by the same team linking dyslexia to early problems with visual attention rather ...

Fighting GM crop vandalism with a government-protected research site

2013-02-28

Genetically modified (GM) crops have been a source of great controversy—particularly in Europe—but acts of vandalism and associated security costs have made scientific evidence about the health and ecological impacts of those crops hard to come by. A Swiss government-protected field site dedicated for use in GM crop studies could serve as an example to other European countries interested in pursuing crop biotechnology, according to an article published in Trends in Biotechnology, a Cell Press publication, on February 28. The protected field site will now enable research ...

Study identifies growth factor essential to the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor

2013-02-28

A multi-institutional team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers has identified a molecular pathway that appears to be essential for the growth and spread of medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in children. In their report in the Feb. 28 issue of Cell, they show that blocking this pathway – which involves interactions between tumor cells and the surrounding tissues – leads to regression of all four molecular subtypes of medulloblastoma in several mouse models. "Our finding that a pathway carrying signals from host cells to tumor cells ...

How did early primordial cells evolve?

2013-02-28

VIDEO: L-form bacteria undergoes cell division. The time scale is in minutes. Click here for more information. Four billion years ago, soon after the planet cooled enough for life to begin, primordial cells may have replicated and divided without protein machinery or cell walls, relying instead on just a flimsy lipid membrane. New research on bacteria examines exactly how these primitive cells could have evolved without such crucial structures. While the vast majority of bacteria ...
