Synthetic Biology Market: Key Players Driving Innovation With Strategic M&Amp;As

Synthetic Biology Market: Key Players Driving Innovation With Strategic M&Amp;As

Posted on by Admin

The global synthetic biology market is marked by intensive R&D. Governments, universities, research institutions, and private firms are all busy coming up with the most cutting-edge technology in the synthetic biology market. The global synthetic biology market will expand at a remarkable CAGR of 32.60% during the forecast period from 2013 to 2019, says Transparency Market Research (TMR). One of the key drivers of the global synthetic biology market is the increasing participation in synthetic biology research.

The global synthetic biology market is at its early development stage and will continue to witness strong growth due to widespread R&D efforts. Some of the application areas of synthetic biology are agriculture, chemicals, healthcare, energy and environment, and biosecurity. Demand for synthetic biology technologies is growing in all these application areas, which will prompt the growth of the overall synthetic biology market. To drive innovation and thrive in the market, players in the global synthetic biology market are focusing on strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Let us look at the key M&As that have taken place in the global synthetic biology market.

Reverse Merger of Evolva and Arpida

Evolva, a Swiss company, is using a genetically modified yeast to create things that are typically not found in nature. In December 2009, the Swiss firm started trading via a reverse merger with a firm called Arpida. Arpida, a publicly traded company, lost nearly all of its value after its lead drug candidate failed to receive regulatory approval. This merger between Evolva and Arpida will create a new publicly listed company having a technology platform that deploys synthetic biology to create small molecule drugs.

Integrated DNA Technologies to Acquire AITbiotech

Recently, Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), a provider of synthetic nucleic acids for molecular biology applications, will be acquiring the oligonucleotide synthesis business from AITbiotech. IDT’s primary business involves the production of synthetic biology products, synthetic nucleic acids, and functional genomics. AITbiotech is based in Singapore and offers a complete suite of genomics services to healthcare, research, and the biomedical industry in Asia. This acquisition is projected to help IDT expand its consumer base in Asia and make it possible for these consumers to access the firm’s broad range of genomic products.

Caribou and CRISPR Aiming Acquisitions

Top firms such as BASF, DuPont, Bayer CropScience, Syngenta, and Dow Chemical Company, have invested millions of dollars to fuel their R&D for commercialization of GM crops. Furthermore, these companies are expected to invest more in the foreseeable future to build new gene editing tools and provide enhanced non-GMO crops. To make this possible, many of these companies are expected to acquire/merge/partner with notable synthetic biology firms. Two of the companies that are at the forefront for acquisition in the global synthetic biology market are Caribou and Cibus. These companies are producing herbicide-resistant crops along with other innovations.

Danish PM pushes for new referendum on euro

Posted on by Admin

Friday, November 7, 2008

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the Prime Minister of Denmark, said on Tuesday that he will seek broad parliamentary support for a national referendum on joining the euro, the common currency of the Eurozone.

“I’m convinced that we need broad support in parliament to hold a referendum, because it’s about the Danish currency and about stability and safety,” he said, speaking at his weekly press conference. “Recent events have shown the necessity to give the population the opportunity to vote on Denmark joining the euro.”

Berlingske Tidende is reporting that Rasmussen is meeting with political leaders to negotiate support for the referendum.

In 1992, Danish voters rejected the Maastrict Treaty in a referendum. It was only able to pass the following year after the Edinburgh Agreement granted Denmark an opt-out of the third stage of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (EMU).

In 2000, Denmark again rejected the common currency in a euro referendum. The current currency of the Scandinavian country is the Danish krone. As part of stage two of the EMU, the exchange rate of the krone is allowed to fluctuate within a ±2.25% range to the euro.

In order to maintain this peg Danmarks Nationalbank, the central bank, adjusts interest rates and performs foreign exchange operations by buying and selling currency. To do this, Danmarks Nationalbank has had to raise rates twice, even as other central banks, including the European Central Bank (ECB), were lowering rates to deal with the current economic crisis.

As a result, interest rates in Denmark are now 175 basis points higher than the ECB’s rates. As recently as May, the difference was only 25 basis points.

Rasmussen heads the Venstre party which leads a minority coalition government. The main opposition party, the Social Democrats, also support adopting the euro as the nation’s currency.

While there has long been support among the politicians, the euro has failed when it has been put before the voters. However, recent opinion polls have shown a growing support for the euro among Danes. The most recent of these have seen those in favor just topping the 50% level needed to pass a referendum.

Rasmussen has said he wants a referendum put before voters before 2011. His government had originally planned to hold a referendum this past September to abolish the EMU opt-outs, but that was scrapped when Ireland voted down the Treaty of Lisbon.

On October 30, while in Stockholm, Sweden, Rasmussen said: “The euro ensures political and economical stability in Europe and the current financial turmoil makes it evident that Denmark has to join the Euro.”

Analysts consulted by Berlingske Tidende have said that an endorsement from the Socialist People’s Party (SF) could prove to be the tide-turner.

“If there was a vote, then I would vote Yes. But I am of the opinion that it is stupid to hold a vote unless we first have a real debate. We haven’t had a debate in eight years and all arguments need to be tested,” said Margrete Auken of SF.

Grandfather and grandson die after dinghy capsizes off North Wales coast

Posted on by Admin

Sunday, July 3, 2005

A grandfather and his grandson have died off the coast of North Wales, UK, after their sailing dinghy was overwhelmed and capsized in rough seas. They were with a party of four who had been angling from a 4.6 m boat.

At 4pm local time on Saturday the Holyhead Coastguard received an emergency call from the Star Reader saying they had found a capsized dinghy adrift three and a half miles north of Puffin Island, off the east coast of the Isle of Anglesey.

A third vessel, the Sara Jane, also attended the scene to allow a first aider on board to render assistance.

A RAF search and rescue helicopter was scrambled and the Beaumaris lifeboat launched to effect a rescue effort. Two people were found clinging to the boat but two more had been washed away. A rapid search recovered both of them.

The rescue helicopter lowered its winchman onto the dinghy to begin CPR on the nine year old boy before he was winched onboard. He was flown to nearby Bangor Hospital, but later died.

The Beaumaris lifeboat raced the grandfather – also suffering serious hypothermia – ashore to a waiting ambulance, but he too died shortly afterwards. The lifeboat also carried an uninjured member of the party ashore, while the helicopter returned to rescue a second young boy.

The father and a twelve year old boy survived. All had been wearing life jackets, but the sea was running at 1.5 m waves in a 45 km/h wind at the time.

It is believed the two dead had been in the water for at least three hours before they were recovered, and died from the effects of hypothermia.

Submitted by: Denesh786 Yadav

Ayurveda, the science of life, is an ancient Indian science of life and medicine. Now days, it has been enjoying a major resurgence in both its native land and throughout the world. While allopathic medicine tends to focus on the management of disease, it provides us with the knowledge of how it happened, to identify and eliminate the root cause. It seeks at making a happy, healthy and peaceful society. The two most important aims of Ayurveda are:

1. To maintain the health of healthy people.

2. To cure the diseases of sick people.

Five things that Ayurveda an entire discipline functions on are

1. You’re not like the rest

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K0kgTkrqN8[/youtube]

According to Ayurveda, each one of us are unique, very unique. Understanding this main principle, it offers us an explanation as to why one person responds differently to a treatment or diet than another and why persons with the same disease might yet require different treatments and medications.

2. You are forever changing

You change with every passing moment. And these changes that happen inside of you are very much driven by outside happenings such as changing seasons or changing diets. Knowing your daily cycles and habits what may give you an insight on changes you are experiencing and why.

3. We are same at elemental level

five elements for living are: fire, air, water, earth, and air. And not only our body but also our minds functions on the combinations of these elements. Our elemental signature also gives us clues to our mental and physical tendencies (e.g., weight gain, hostility, forgetfulness), allowing us to recognize and balance them!

4. Everything around you is either medicine or poison

According to this science, everything we eat, see, wear, say, touch, hear, think or even sense with has the potential to either support or sabotage our health and wellness. Knowing our poison and our medicine empowers us to make healthier, better-informed choices for prevention and treatment of issues.

5. Your digestion runs you

In the Ayurvedic model everything we experience is a form of “food” for the mind, body or soul, including all the sights, sounds, emotions, ideas and sensations that we encounter every day. The mind and body must work together to distinguish and assimilate the good stuff and let go of what doesn’t really serve us.

The shodhana therapy includes procedures that eradicate the vitiated humors from the body. eg.Vamana (Emesis), Virechana (Purgation), Vasti (Enema), Nasya (Nasal errhines).The technique of shaman consists of pacifying the doshas or bring them back to normalcy e.g. Deepana (Carminative), Pachana (Digestive), Upavasa (Fasting) etc.Two of the eight branches of classical Ayurveda deal with surgery (Salya-cikitsa and Salakya-tantra), but contemporary Ayurveda tends to emphasize attaining vitality by building a healthy metabolic system and maintaining good digestion and excretion. Ayurveda also focuses on exercise, yoga, and meditation. Ayurveda follows the concept of Dinacharya, which says that natural cycles (waking, sleeping, working, meditation etc.) as well as hygiene habits such as regular bathing, cleaning of teeth, skin care, and eye washing are important for health.

Ayurveda is known today as the only complete medical system still in existence that follows All in Divine Order, and that nature provides us with everything we need for health and balance, and Ayurveda is the only health science that teaches you how to make choices with awareness according to your own unique constitution. The world will be a better place to live in when we will truly connect with nature.

Southern Australian munitions factory explodes

Posted on by Admin

Wednesday, May 10, 2006

An Australian munitions factory exploded in South Australia. Two people were killed, another two were injured and one is still missing.

The factory produced explosives for quarrying, civil engineering and the military.

The explosion leveled everything within 100 metres and could be heard from 70km away.

Emergency services have been held back to a one kilometre radius of the factory until an explosives expert from Adelaide could come.

“It’s very dangerous, so we’re holding back,” police inspector Phil Warwick said, “It’s an explosives factory. All right it’s exploded, but that doesn’t mean all the explosives have gone. There’s still smoke coming from the area, which means there must be fire or heat. Put them (remaining explosives and fire) together and we could have another (explosion).”

Sweden’s Crown Princess marries long-time boyfriend

Posted on by Admin

Monday, June 21, 2010

Sweden’s first royal wedding since 1976 took place Saturday when Crown Princess Victoria, 32, married her long-time boyfriend and former personal trainer, Daniel Westling, 36. The ceremony took place at Stockholm Cathedral.

Over 1,200 guests, including many rulers, politicians, royals and other dignitaries from across the world, attended the wedding, which cost an estimated 20 million Swedish kronor. Victoria wore a wedding dress with five-metre long train designed by Pär Engsheden. She wore the same crown that her mother, Queen Silvia, wore on her wedding day 34 years previously, also on June 19. Victoria’s father, King Carl XVI Gustaf, walked Victoria down the aisle, which was deemed untraditional by many. In Sweden, the bride and groom usually walk down the aisle together, emphasising the country’s views on equality. Victoria met with Daniel half-way to the altar, where they exchanged brief kisses, and, to the sounds of the wedding march, made their way to the the silver altar. She was followed by ten bridesmaids. The couple both had tears in their eyes as they said their vows, and apart from fumbling when they exchanged rings, the ceremony went smoothly.

Following the ceremony, the couple headed a fast-paced procession through central Stockholm on a horse-drawn carriage, flanked by police and security. Up to 500,000 people are thought to have lined the streets. They then boarded the Vasaorden, the same royal barge Victoria’s parents used in their wedding, and traveled through Stockholm’s waters, accompanied by flyover of 18 fighter jets near the end of the procession. A wedding banquet followed in the in the Hall of State of the Royal Palace.

Controversy has surrounded the engagement and wedding between the Crown Princess and Westling, a “commoner”. Victoria met Westling as she was recovering from bulemia in 2002. He owned a chain of gymnasiums and was brought in to help bring Victoria back to full health. Westling was raised in a middle-class family in Ockelbo, in central Sweden. His father managed a social services centre, and his mother worked in a post office. When the relationship was made public, Westling was mocked as an outsider and the king was reportedly horrified at the thought of his daughter marrying a “commoner”, even though he did so when he married Silvia. Last year, Westling underwent transplant surgery for a congenital kidney disorder. The Swedish public have been assured that he will be able to have children and that his illness will not be passed on to his offspring.

Westling underwent years of training to prepare for his new role in the royal family, including lessons in etiquette, elocution, and multi-lingual small talk; and a makeover that saw his hair being cropped short, and his plain-looking glasses and clothes being replaced by designer-wear.

Upon marrying the Crown Princess, Westling took his wife’s ducal title and is granted the style “His Royal Highness”. He is now known as HRH Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland. He also has his own coat-of-arms and monogram. When Victoria assumes the throne and becomes Queen, Daniel will not become King, but assume a supportive role, similar to that of Prince Phillip, the husband of the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II.

Guam Arrest Records Online

Guam Arrest Records Online

Posted on by Admin

The reason why arrest records likeGuam Arrest Records are some of the most requested for records from the government is because these are the official records of the government when it comes to the criminal background of the person named in the record and such information is always something that the people of the community are interested in. this is because the people of the community would often take the information included in the records in question so that they could decide if the person named in the record is someone whom they could trust. It must be remembered that the people of today would often judge a person on the basis of the things that such a person had done in the past.These records are the best way that a person could glimpse into the criminal past of the person as it is more likely than not that such a person would do everything in his power to gloss over or even to cover up the fact of his or her criminal background, yet at the same time, it must be noted that these records are rather limited in the sense that they would only show the criminal background of the person named in the record and nothing else. Simply put, if the information that is being sought has nothing to do with the criminal background of the person, then chances are, these records would be silent about them.As the official records of the government, these records are the best evidence that one could present to prove the fact of the criminal background of the person named in the record because they are afforded the presumption of regularity, and because they are public records that are supposed to be available to the public at all times. a person may make the request for copies of these records even if such person does not actually have a reason for making the request, though because these records are still not free, most of the people who would make the request would be those who would have a reason for making the request.Records are requested from a number of places, but perhaps the best place to make the request for copies of the records would be at the office of the sheriff where the procedure for making the request would require the person interested in the record to actually go to the office where the records are located and make the request in person. This method would require the person to travel, but it must also be noted that requests made in person are often completed within the same day of the request.Copies of Guam Criminal Records may also be obtained online through the use of online databases. it is true that most of these databases would present information that would be roughly the same as that which may be found from the official archives, yet one must also take into consideration the fact that because these databases are not official sources, they could not enjoy the presumption of regularity for any and all information that may be obtained from them.

British university falls short of Smurf gathering world record

Posted on by Admin

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Despite two months of preparation, a Smurf party held by the University of Southampton‘s student union ended without a record. While 720 came to The Cube nightclub in blue bodypaint, and with a white hat and pants, they missed the mark by 164 people.

On February 18, Chester University attracted 884 students to their event, but newspapers and organizers apparently overlooked this record attempt. It generally takes a few months for the Guinness World Record organization to formally acknowledge achievements as being official.

The Southampton event was to raise cash for the Prince’s Trust‘s “World Wealth Creation Challenge”. The competition pits ten United Kingdom universities against each other, to raise as much money between November 2007 and March 2008.

The previous record of 451 people was set by Warwick University in 2007.

While The Smurfs television series made the characters known in the English-speaking world, when it debuted in the 1980s, they actually began 50 years ago in the Belgian comics magazine Le Journal de Spirou.
