Stem cell research is extremely important for both current and future medical treatments.  With the use of stem cell therapy, the face of modern medicine is rapidly changing before our eyes.

In case you’re not familiar with what stem cells are this blog will help you understand.  Stem cells are cells that occur in the body that have not yet been developed into their indefinite form or function.  Stem cells can eventually be used for specific organs such as the skin, brain, or nerves, among others.  They can also be used for a specific function such as the digestive process.

Stem cells can be used in all different types of experiments, procedures, and treatments.  Bio Medicine treatments that utilize the natural cellular ability to heal the body are extremely powerful.  Stem cells can be used to heal millions and millions of people all over the world.  There are many different types of medical treatments that rely on the use of stem cells.

Stem cell therapy can be used in the treatment of bone marrow transplants which are used in the treatment of leukemia, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, and muscle injuries.  There are also many other medical treatments that will benefit from the use of stem cells.

Despite all the advancements in stem cell therapy, many of the therapies are still considered “experimental.”  That means that it’s very important for researchers to be funded in their research of stem cells.  Stem cell research may just be the most important form of medical research of our time.

Qualities And Credentials To Look For When Hiring An Engineer

Checking on the applicant’s credentials is important to see if he or she will best fit the job description. However, even if the engineer applicant has listed a lot of “skills” on their resume, you should first and foremost determine how they have acquired that kind of technical skill as well as the applications they have used it for. Recruitment is no easy job and no company has perfected this process, though you can always apply a few simple tricks to make the hunt a little less hard for you.

Most companies always check if the applicant has acquired related certifications and licenses, most of the time, an applicant will be put above the rest if the recruiter finds these on the resume. Matching or at least closely relative technical skills to the nature of the work is an added plus. For example, for a robotics company, an applicant who has an experience with the said field is a priority. Referrals from your employees could be a good start, this way you can ask and learn more about the candidate through your employee. For newly graduated engineers, see if they have had class work relating to the nature of your company’s work. Also, it is better if he or she has done service projects even as students.

Yelp Denies Manipulating Reviews

Article submitted by: Reputation Stars

In response to ongoing accusations that it manipulates reviews in favor of advertisers, Yelp published a blog post denying the claim. Although small business owners have been upset at Yelp for a while, recent stories in The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post prompted the social review site to defend itself once again.

<a “http://s1058.photobucket.com/user/submitx/media/Yelp_zpsb9d76ee3.jpg.html” target=”_blank”> photo Yelp_zpsb9d76ee3.jpg
“Let me be clear: This claim is not — and has never been – true,” wrote Vince Sollitto, vice president of communications and public affairs at Yelp.

The issue is still the same. Many small business owners claim that Yelp’s automatic review filter catches legitimate reviews while posting illegitimate negative reviews. Some small business owners — who have filed lawsuits against Yelp – also say that Yelp will only fix this problem if they agree to purchase advertising on the site.

However, in the company blog post, Sollitto not only denies these claims, but challenges the public to consider the facts behind the allegations. According to Sollitto, independent research by Harvard Business School and Yale professors has debunked the claims. He added that although some business owners have taken these claims to court, the courts continue to dismiss the lawsuits for “lack of any fact-based evidence.”

Finally, Sollitto encourages the public to conduct their own Google search, which, according to him, reveals that there are thousands of companies that do not advertise on Yelp yet still have high ratings.

It’s hard to say which side will win this war. But one thing is for sure: Yelp has the power to either improve or destroy the success and reputation of a business. A 2011 study conducted by Harvard Business School on the impact of consumer reviews on the restaurant industry found that, a “one-star increase in Yelp rating leads to a 5-9 percent increase in revenue.” The study also found that consumers are more likely to pay more attention to reviews if they are written by “elite” reviewers, and if the business has a large number of reviews posted on the site.
