Houston Museum of Natural Science Is Now A Certified Autism Center™


HMNS Sensory Guide

Part of the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s mission is to enhance in individuals the knowledge of and delight in natural science and related subjects, and what better way to accomplish that than to foster a welcoming and accessible environment for all audiences to enjoy our exhibitions.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science was recently designated a Certified Autism Center™, which is awarded by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) to organizations committed to serving individuals with autism and other sensory needs through a formal certification process. The certification requires at least 80% of guest-facing staff complete evidence-based training, including more in-depth training and certification for managers and education staff, as well as an onsite review which will allow the Museum to provide sensory guides for all exhibits as well as enhance other aspects of the museum experience for guests with sensory sensitivities.

“The Houston Museum of Natural Science is thrilled to receive the status of Certified Autism Center™ through IBCCES. Access to science and the arts is so important for everyone, and we are proud to have gone through staff training and evaluations in order to better serve people with autism and sensory sensitivities. We are excited to continue moving forward in an inclusive direction and hope to offer more resources, staff training, and programming that will provide a welcoming environment for all at HMNS,” said Matti Hammett, Accessibility Programs Manager.

For almost 20 years, IBCCES has been the industry leader in cognitive disorder and autism certification for healthcare, education and corporate professionals around the globe. IBCCES recognized that many families with children who have special needs have limited travel and recreation options. In response to this need, IBCCES created training and certification programs specifically for the hospitality and travel industry. While many destinations tout “autism-friendly” options, this phrase means something different to everyone and does not necessarily indicate a true understanding or commitment to serving these guests.

“Part of the Houston Museum of Natural Science’s mission is to enhance in individuals the knowledge of and delight in natural science and related subjects, and what better way to accomplish that than to foster a welcoming and accessible environment for all audiences to enjoy our exhibitions. I am proud to be a part of an organization that is dedicated to making access and inclusion a priority and know that we’re only moving forward from here,” said Joel Bartsch, Houston Museum of Natural Science President.

More families and individuals are seeking out destinations and organizations that have completed a certification program through an accredited source. IBCCES is the only credentialing organization providing this type of certification, which includes evidence-based information as well as the perspectives of individuals with autism, alongside other tools and resources such as onsite reviews and customized recommendations to ensure the program is a long-term commitment and has a lasting impact.

“The team at the Houston Museum of Natural Science is very dedicated to this process and we’re proud to work with an organization that is committed to long-term changes and provides such a valuable resource to the Houston community and its visitors,” said Myron Pincomb, IBCCES Board Chairman.

IBCCES also created AutismTravel.com, a free online resource for parents that lists certified destinations and connects families to other resources and each other. Each destination listed on the site has met Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) requirements.

Shocking New Theory Turns Science on its Head


Through next tier analysis of the human condition and a leap into theoretical physics and higher mathematics – made simple – The Endless Question leads us toward a deeper understanding of how we each can create happier, healthier and successful lives.

The Endless Question takes the viewer from beautiful Southern California, to the salt lakes of Northern Florida, from universities around the world to the inner philosophies of ancient wise men and women. Controversial and informative, this film shocks many “experts.”

Witness the parallels of Nikola Tesla’s insights to quantum concepts and contemporary psychologies, woven into a fascinating tapestry of a new paradigm. A new theory that integrates Eastern and Western concepts reveals an amazing bridge between science and spirituality. The first true BRIDGE THEORY, long-sought by many of the experts in this field, Quantum Field Psychology turns many scientists on their heads, with many examining their belief systems.

Never an apologist for his theories, Dalrymple began his 50-year journey when he went to work at NASA at 17-years-old. Majoring in math and physics, he began to take psychology courses, seeing parallels between the major theories of psychology and principles of quantum physics and higher mathematics.

Dalrymple went on a journey around the world to find answers, studying countries, cultures, people and languages. He returned to graduate school, became a psychologist, saw over 20,000 patients, taught 15 college courses, and began publishing books on his theories. He then went to film school to produce his films.

The Endless Question was developed by Dalrymple Brothers Films. Filming began in 2012 with numerous experts reaching out to contribute their insights to the film, including Linda Sechrist, from Natural Awakenings Magazine, Yogi Amrit Desai, best-selling author Jean de Galzain and others that offer special insights to the vast implications on mind as energy. Dalrymple is the author of the best-seller, The Inner Manager, 8 Days to Creative Power, and Quantum Field Psychology. He is also an award-winning screenwriter and has written and helped produce several films. His latest work is The Endless Question.

Gaggle Partners with Clayton County Public Schools to Manage Student Safety on School-Provided Technology and Collaboration Platforms


News Image

“Each and every student needs all of the academic guidance that we can provide, but they also need a high level of support to ensure that they are okay mentally, emotionally, and socially and with the addition of Gaggle, we now have an additional resource to assist with keeping our students safe.”

Gaggle, the pioneer in helping K-12 districts manage student safety on school-provided technology, today announced that Georgia’s fifth-largest school district is implementing its student safety technology. Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) in Jonesboro, Ga., is comprised of 37 elementary, 14 middle, and 11 high schools, and will use the technology to protect its students and ensure their safety and well-being in digital learning spaces.

Since 1999, Gaggle has helped districts across the country protect students, avoid tragedies, save lives and protect against district liability by monitoring digital spaces and responding to safety issues and threats. The Gaggle safety solution uses a robust combination of both artificial intelligence and trained safety experts to provide real-time analysis and review of students’ use of online collaboration platforms, such as Google’s G Suite for Education, Microsoft Office 365 and Canvas while proactively identifying and supporting students who are personally struggling; and creating a safer school environment by building a culture for improved digital citizenship.

“Here in Clayton County – we are committed to meeting the physical, emotional, and social needs of our 54,000 students. Each and every student needs all of the academic guidance that we can provide, but they also need a high level of support to ensure that they are okay mentally, emotionally, and socially and with the addition of Gaggle, we now have an additional resource to assist with keeping our students safe,” said Rod Smith, chief of technology at CCPS.

Gaggle proactively assists districts 24/7 in the prevention of harmful situations. An in-house team of trained safety professionals with backgrounds in law enforcement, psychology, social work, suicide prevention and crisis management evaluate flagged content for false positives, categorizes incidents and determines their severity. The team then alerts district personnel to policy violations, inappropriate content, critical mental health issues and imminent danger to students. Over the past 20 years, Gaggle has scanned more than 13 billion pieces of student content, flagging over 151 million items for review by its team of safety experts who look for signs of self-harm and depression, thoughts of suicide, substance abuse, cyberbullying and credible threats of violence against others.

“We live in an era where K-12 districts can’t just think about the physical security of their students and staff; they also have to worry about all aspects of security,” said Gaggle CEO, Jeff Patterson. “We applaud Clayton County schools in choosing to proactively take action to protect their students from harming themselves or others—before a disaster happens.”

About Gaggle | https://www.gaggle.net

Since 1999, Gaggle has been the leader in helping K-12 districts manage student safety on school-provided technology. Using a robust combination of both artificial intelligence and trained safety experts, the safety solution proactively assists districts 24/7/365 in the prevention of student suicide, bullying, inappropriate behaviors, school violence, and other harmful situations. Most importantly, Gaggle continues to help hundreds of districts avoid tragedies and save lives, while also protecting their liability. In the 2018-19 academic year, Gaggle has helped districts save the lives of more than 700 students who were planning or actually attempting suicide.

Scientists from Noblis and Defense Biological Product Assurance Office (DBPAO) Identify Unique Genetic Sequences of the International Wuhan Coronavirus


2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

“Noblis is pleased to collaborate with our customers to accelerate the virus detection process and combat the coronavirus outbreak,” said Amr ElSawy, president and CEO, Noblis.

Scientists from Noblis and the Defense Biological Product Assurance Office (DBPAO), a component of the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND), are continuously evaluating polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays (tests) for detection of the new Wuhan coronavirus.

“Noblis is pleased to collaborate with our customers to accelerate the virus detection process and combat the coronavirus outbreak,” said Amr ElSawy, president and CEO, Noblis. “Our scientists and technical experts are using advanced analytics, bioinformatics and high-performance computing solutions for biosurveillance and other areas which are contributing to global public health and safety.”

The research was done using BioLaboro, a Noblis application developed for rapidly designing de novo (new) assays and validating existing PCR detection assays. The data, published by the researchers at the online discussion forum, http://virological.org/, identifies four highly specific sequences which are unique to the new coronavirus and are in disparate locations across the genome. The four BioLaboro assays were compared to four assays from a German group (Corman and colleagues) as well as those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which are currently in use as diagnostics. The four Noblis assays were found to be in different locations in the genome sequence compared to the other assays.

As new whole genome sequences of the Wuhan virus are added daily, there is an ongoing need to immediately evaluate the effectiveness of existing assays and to design new ones when signature erosion is observed (degraded assay performance due to genetic changes in the virus sequences). Emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, like the Wuhan coronavirus, known officially as the “Novel Coronavirus 2019-nCoV,” that emerged in China at the end of 2019, are a significant threat to global public health. Rapid spread of this virus may lead to a genetically diverse collection of variants with a paucity of epidemiological information. Leveraging advances in next generation sequencing technologies, whole genome sequence data can be produced within 24 hours of obtaining a sample. Noblis and DBPAO are using new data submissions to continue to monitor signature erosion in the Wuhan virus with BioLaboro, updating the results on the blog post at http://virological.org/.

New Toe and Foot Wart Treatment Options at the Foot Doctor of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists of Howell Michigan & Brighton Michigan.


Plantar Wart treatment on the bottom of the foot and toes in Howell Michigan & Brighton Michigan.

Plantar Wart treatment on the bottom of the foot and toes in Howell Michigan & Brighton Michigan.

“Thank you for making us your number one choice in Howell Michigan we have been working hard to keep your costs low, avoid any type of surgery, and get you healed as soon as possible!”

Advanced foot and ankle specialists of Howell Michigan and Brighton Michigan have been performing removal skin lesions, toe warts and foot warts for over 20+ years in Livingston County. This podiatrist and foot doctor practice includes four hospital trained podiatrists and ingrown toenail removal specialists available to help with the full range of toenail problems.

Toe and foot wart removal options:

There are three types of ingrown toenail removal that are routinely performed.

1) Medical Pedicure for Feet & Toes:

  • A medical pedicure consists of using specialized sterile instruments are used for cleaning and shortening thick and fungal toenails. Yet this can also include treating toe warts and foot warts.
  • The next step is maintaining proper moisturizing of a patient’s feet. The patient is evaluated for any decreased blood flow, any nerve disorders, any skin disorders.
  • This is not a cosmetic medical pedicure excavation point. This is specifically based on medical standards.

2) Medical Toe and Foot Wart Treatment:

  • Plantar warts are caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV).
  • A podiatrist can trim the hard callus that grows over it and treat it with cryotherapy and different strong acids to make the wart go away.
  • This has a success rate of 85% over approximately 6 months.

3) Toe and Foot Wart Surgery:

  • If the wart does not improve with medical treatment, it is possible to provide a small injection and provide anesthetic to the site.
  • At this point an in-office procedure can completely remove the wart by a podiatrist.

Advanced foot and ankle specialists of Howell Michigan and Brighton Michigan pride themselves on providing comprehensive the care and working as a multispecialty team. The four doctors at this practice are on staff at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Livingston, St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Brighton, and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Ann Arbor. Working as part of this large multidisciplined team, they can work with internal medicine doctors, primary care doctors, endocrinologists and vascular surgery specialist to provide comprehensive care.

Advanced foot and ankle specialists have four different doctors within their practice: Dr. Tom Biernacki, Dr. John Stevelinck, Dr. Marc Bonanni and Dr. Danielle Meyka-Blanchard. All four of our foot doctors are on staff at St. Joseph Mercy hospitals. They pride themselves on serving Livingston County and Washtenaw County.

In the past podiatrists were simply office-based clinicians, but now are all medical school and residency trained physicians. All four doctors at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists have spent four years of medical school, and at least three years in a hospital-based surgical residency. Now the podiatrists of Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists boast Harvard residency status, and some have received post residency specialized fellowship training in diabetic surgery and wound care.

Dr. Tom Biernacki states, “We are so thankful to be your choice for your foot and ankle lesions and skin conditions! Our number one goal is to take great care of people’s foot and ankle problems, with as little surgery as possible, and for as little cost as possible. We emphasize getting people better as quickly as possible, and it looks like we are starting to really make a difference!”
