One Million Solutions in Health presents Dr. Stephen Adler, PhD, discussing “New Dose Calibrator for Radioactive Tracers in Biodistribution Studies that Can Increase Accuracy 10-Fold ” from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in a webinar.

This One Million Solutions in Health webinar introduced a ground-breaking new dose calibrator for radioactive tracers in biodistribution studies that has the potential to advance the technology to a new level of sensitivity, accuracy and range for small radiation doses.

A micro-dose calibrator is designed to improve radiation dose measurements used in pre-clinical in-vivo and ex-vivo radiopharmaceutical drug development studies.

Using the patented concept of a segmented well counter, the radiation measurement upper limits hindering the use of a standard single crystal well counter have been eliminated.

The current research into this new technology will be presented by Dr. Adler who has built a fully operational 8 crystal segment micro-dose calibrator to test his invention.

The results of his work will show the potential for the technology to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the work done at the pre-clinical phase of radiopharmaceutical drug discovery.

Sexual compatibility is important to a relationship, but not as much as having congruous personalities and values.

Make it a point to count your blessings, remember why you love your partner, what you appreciate about him or her, and what he/she brings to your life – and then express it.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
February 08, 2020

Many people mistakenly believe that Vatsyayana’s Kama Sutra focused exclusively on titillating, Cirque-de-Soleil-esque sex positions. However, he also provided guidance on how to find a partner, how to earn said partner’s trust, how to achieve emotional fulfillment, and whether reconnecting with an ex-lover is worth the effort. Even back in ancient times, it was understood that relationship happiness depended on a number of factors, not just a partner’s ability to pull off the Janakurpara position. Sensual satisfaction is most certainly a contributing factor – ranked 5th in a study conducted by Queendom.com – but it’s the intangibles that seem to matter more.

Analyzing data from 2,560 people who took the Relationship Satisfaction Test, Queendom researchers used multiple regression statistical methods to identify the relationship factors that most strongly differentiate happy couples from unhappy ones.

TOP 10 PREDICTORS OF RELATIONSHIP SATISFACTION

#1: Whether the differences between the partners – in terms of personality, skills, and social preferences – are viewed as complementary

#2: The degree to which each partner’s emotional needs are being fulfilled, which includes feeling loved, secure, accepted, supported, listened to, valued, and desired

#3: Having similar values

#4: The degree to which the partners express appreciation for each other

#5: How often the couple has sex, the quality of the sex, and whether the partners have the freedom to express their sexual desires and fantasies

#6: Having shared interests and activities

#7: Being able to talk freely and openly, and to share a contrasting opinion without being mocked, rejected, or yelled at

#8: The level of trust between the partners

#9: The degree of intellectual compatibility

#10: Being able to get along with a partner’s relatives

“Each of these factors plays an important role in relationship satisfaction. However, our statistical analyses revealed that the top four aspects had the strongest impact. Essentially, it’s in these areas where happy and unhappy couples differed the most,” explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the parent company of Queendom. “This means that if you and your partner are alike in terms of your values, are meeting each other’s emotional needs, are making it a point to appreciate one another, and are able to achieve balance in terms of your personality differences, then you’re already well on your way to a happy relationship. The rest of the factors are simply the icing on an already delicious cake. Of course, the conditions of each of these elements are entirely subjective. Some couples don’t need to talk very much in order to be happy, or to have sex three times a day – to each their own. What matters is what works for your relationship, and whether you are able to find balance. Opposites do attract, but when a couple is unable to bridge their differences, and are unwilling to meet each other halfway, that’s when problems start. The most important point here is that happy couples appreciate their differences, and are able to view them as complementary. They find the silver lining, instead of lamenting over how their partner lacks this or that. Couples who have been together for a long time have the advantage – and the experience – of knowing how to meet each other’s needs, but only if they are both willing to put in the effort. So our advice is, don’t just go through the motions this Valentine’s Day. Make it a point to count your blessings, remember why you love your partner, what you appreciate about him or her, and what he/she brings to your life – and then express it.”

180 Pure Products

We invest in our products and customer experience because we know that our consumers invest in us

DEER PARK, Ill. (PRWEB)
February 07, 2020

The first dedicated CBD store in Illinois is relaunching as 180 Pure with a large amount of fanfare and national recognition. While this exciting rebrand will bring together a brick and mortar location with the hugely successful eCommerce store, the focus will be on continuing to deliver the same supreme quality products they have been known for. The product line will continue with an array of affordable THC-free CBD products including tinctures, soft gels, gummies, along with the critically acclaimed salves that the brand has built a solid consumer reputation nationally with.

The official launch of 180 Pure takes place during a special Celebration Weekend on Friday, February 7 – Sunday, February 9 at 20530 N. Rand Rd Ste 340, Deer Park, IL 60010. As a special offering for the surrounding community, the store will offer 40% off 180 Pure products throughout the weekend, along with daily giveaways and other wonderful surprises and in-store activities. On Celebration Sunday, February 9, the store will offer a special gift with purchase.

“When we first opened, the general consumer was not familiar with CBD and we saw an immediate opportunity to educate consumers on its benefit​.” says Sandra McFarland, owner of 180 Pure. “Today with CBD becoming a part of mainstream culture and more open dialogue happening, I find that a large segment still doesn’t understand what it really is or how it works. And they certainly don’t understand how the vast number of CBD products out there are different.”

The 180 Pure values and mission remain the same. 180 Pure is founded on the principle that consumer education and understanding is critical to success. “We are obsessed with quality in every regard”, explains McFarland. “Whether it is with the formulations and ingredients, the manufacturing, the transparency by which we do business, or just the service we provide, our goal is a well-informed consumer that walks away with a solution that betters their quality of life. We invest in our products and customer experience because we know that our consumers invest in us”. McFarland, an Illinois native, believes in being present with her customers and values the benefit that being proactive in her local community has garnered the brand. The brand loyalty and surge in sales has been an added benefit.

Living up to its core mission of prioritizing consumer education and comfort levels, 180 Pure is hosting a free CBD seminar featuring local licensed pharmacist, Sean Gale on Sunday, February 9th at 2:00pm. As part of the seminar, Gale will include a Q&A session to answer any individual questions visitors have about CBD and its benefits.

​“The biggest obstacle for today’s consumer in the CBD world is finding a product you can trust,” says Gale. “With thousands of wanna-be imposters flooding the market, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with the choices. I always recommend my patients check out 180 Pure.”
