http://www.globalchange.com Compliance will keep you out of prison but will not protect your job or brand — because every regulation is based on things which happened in the past. Every new scandal creates demand for new regulation and public emotion changes. You will be judged not by whether you complied with what was legal at the time, but by whether it feels “right” in future. Many examples from banking, financial services, legal advisory services, compliance departments. Environmental standards, single issues, activism, campaigns, media, illegal action, unethical behaviour, business ethics and public policy. Business management. Court cases and government action. Health and safety, water supplies and pollution, air quality and so on. Comment by Dr Patrick Dixon, futurist, leading authority on global trends and conference speaker.

How To Use A Peak Flow Meter |
A Peak Flow Meter is a measuring device which enables airflow to be essed in the lungs. It is particularly useful for monitoring asthma and can form part of a self-management plan. There are a number of different types of Peak Flow Meter but they all work on the same principle. In this episode we show how to correctly use one type of Peak Flow Meter.
Asthma is a common condition that can cause variable and intermittent symptoms such as cough, wheezing and breathlessness. A Peak Flow Meter can also provide essential information into the severity of acute asthma attacks. The meters are easy to use and available on prescription in the UK.
The readings from a Peak Flow Meter are generally unreliable in children under the age of six or seven.
Do not obstruct the cursor with your hand. Do not obstruct the mouthpiece with your tongue. Stand or sit up straight. Check the cursor is set to zero. Take a deep breath in and seal you lips around the mouthpiece. Blow out suddenly and hard. Check the cursor reading. Repeat twice more using the best reading of the three attempts. The meter records the speed of the blow and is measured in litres per minute.
Everyone has a predicted reading depending on age and height. It is important that you know your own best reading. This information is helpful for your doctor as well as for you and your own self-management plan.
Builth and Llanwrtyd Medical Practice has made every effort to ensure that the information in these episodes is accurate, up to date, and as helpful as possible. However we will not be responsible for any inaccuracies or omissions.
In particular if you are unwell, it is important that you do not rely on information from the Internet – you should seek professional medical advice from your Doctor. If your condition is getting worse, or if you are seriously ill, you should call or visit your Surgery.

Medical Benefits to Genetic Testing |
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2009/05/19/A_Closer_Look_at_Personal_Genomic_Testing
Linda Avey, co-founder of the genetic testing company 23andMe, discusses the personal information she learned from having her own DNA analyzed. She also lists some medical advantages of obtaining and understanding personal genetic knowledge.
—–
Personal genomic testing (the analysis of the DNA of individuals) is now available for less than $400. The consequences of personal genetic testing are often debated, with advocates arguing that genetic data can lead to improved health care and critics warning that consumers may be unduly worried upon learning results.
California regulations impose conditions on firms providing personal genomic testing. This symposium examines genomic testing technology, its ramifications, government regulation of the industry, and whether individuals should have their genome analyzed. – Commonwealth Club of California
Linda Avey has over 20 years of sales and business development experience in the biopharmaceutical industry in San Francisco, Boston, San Diego, and Washington, D.C. Prior to starting 23andMe, she developed translational research collaborations with academic and pharmaceutical partners for Affymetrix and Perlegen Sciences. Avey also spent time at Spotfire helping scientists understand the power of data visualization and at Applied Biosystems during the early days of the human genome project. The advent of high density genome-wide scanning technologies brought huge potential for significant discoveries. However, the lack of sufficient funding to enable adequate studies prompted Avey to think of a new research model. These ideas led to the formation of 23andMe. Her primary interest is the acceleration of personalized medicine, using genetic profiles to target the right drug to the right person at the correct dose. Avey graduated from Augustana College with a B.A. in biology.
