Free and Open Sharing of Biodiversity Data Promises New Era of Research

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CMNH) announces a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) providing comprehensive analysis and review of more than 4,000 peer-reviewed studies published between 2003 and 2019 that make use of data mediated by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the world’s largest biodiversity data network. The study, written in coordination with GBIF by Mason Heberling, CMNH Curator of Botany, and Scott Weingart, Program Director of Digital Humanities at Carnegie Mellon University, provides an evidence base for the ongoing development of the next generation of biodiversity-related research.

While the accessibility of global biodiversity information has surged in the past 20 years—thanks to widespread funding initiatives for museum specimen digitization and the emergence of large-scale public participation in community science with applications like iNaturalist—scientific impacts of consolidated biodiversity data networks had not yet been quantified. The authors conclude the global aggregation of these diverse data sources empowers research at scales otherwise not possible, «launching biodiversity sciences into a new era.»

«The possibilities of a sustainable future urgently depend on this integration of biodiversity data,» says Heberling. «The good news is biodiversity science has made great strides towards data access, thanks to a community ranging from research universities, to natural history museum collections, to amateur citizen scientists making observations on day hikes. Though far from over, the impact to date has been profound, resulting in more than two peer-reviewed studies published per day, cutting across taxonomic, disciplinary, geographical, and socio-economic boundaries.»

Coordinated through its Secretariat in Copenhagen, the GBIF network of participating countries and organizations provides data-holding institutions around the world with common standards and open-source tools that enable them to share information about where and when species have been recorded.

Cited by more than 200 studies, Carnegie Museum of Natural History has made nearly a million specimen records publicly available through GBIF. This number is actively growing, as the digitization of more than 20 million museum objects continues.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, is among the top natural history museums in the country. The museum generates new scientific knowledge, advances science literacy, and inspires visitors of all ages to become passionate about science, nature, and world cultures.

OPI y Kerry Washington se reunen para celebrar el 40 aniversario de OPI

Kerry Washington se une a la marca en una celebración de cumpleaños de un año de duración como Embajadora de la Campaña del 40 Aniversario de OPI.

#40YearsOfColor

Kerry Washington se une a la marca en una celebración de cumpleaños de un año de duración como Embajadora de la Campaña del 40 Aniversario de OPI.

#40YearsOfColor

LOS ÁNGELES, 2 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — OPI, la marca de cuidado de uñas de salón número uno del mundo, ha anunciado que la actriz, productora, directora y activista Kerry Washington se presentará como embajadora de marca para el 40 aniversario de la compañía este año. Washington regresa a OPI, donde anteriormente fue la primera embajadora creativa de la marca en 2016. En este papel, Washington colaboró con la cofundadora de OPI, Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, para crear la colección «Washington D.C«.

A lo largo de todo 2021, OPI destacará 40 de los tonos más icónicos de la marca. Sin ninguna sorpresa entre los tonos superiores está el tono previamente co-creado por Washington «We the Female» una imponente laca de uñas roja que fue parte de la colaboración anterior.

«Estamos encantados de que Kerry esté retomando su papel como embajadora de la marca durante nuestro año de aniversario», dijo Weiss-Fischmann. «Es una mujer de estilo y sustancia que es feroz en todo lo que emprende, desde la actuación hasta el activismo». Washington es ganadora del Primetime Emmy® Award y nominada al Emmy® y al Golden Globe® que ha sido honrada cinco veces con el NAACP Image Award. En 2014 fue nombrada una de las 100 personas más influyentes de la revista Time, y es una de las cofundadoras de UP de TIME.

«Siempre es inspirador trabajar con Suzi, una de las primeras mujeres cofundadoras de una importante compañía de belleza», dijo Washington. «Puede ser conocida como la ‘Primera Dama de las Uñas», pero también es una verdadera defensora de las causas de las mujeres, cuyo impacto trasciende con creces su propia industria.»

Fundada en 1981, OPI se originó como una empresa de suministro dental durante el movimiento de uñas de acrílico de los años 80. Al darse cuenta que dentaduras postizas y extensiones de uñas artificiales compartían una química similar, los cofundadores y suegros George Schaeffer y Weiss-Fischmann vieron una oportunidad en el mercado y se apoderaron de ella. OPI comenzó a dejar el «especial de banda de goma» en cada salón en Ventura Blvd. en Los Ángeles. Un frasco de polvo, líquido e imprimación, con bandas de goma juntas, se convirtió en el sistema de acrílico tradicional OPI y fue un gran éxito, estableciendo las raíces de la marca en la industria profesional de uñas. OPI luego llevó sus productos a los consumidores con el lanzamiento de 30 innovadores tonos Nail Lacquer. Con su famosa botella, colores increíbles, fórmula de alta calidad y nombres únicos, OPI revolucionó la industria del cuidado de uñas. Algunos de estos tonos originales – Alpine Snow, OPI Red, Malaga Wine – se volvieron tan icónicos que todavía se venden hoy en día. También se encuentran entre 40 tonos legendarios de OPI que se destacarán durante la celebración del 40 aniversario.

Hoy en día, los tonos icónicos y de tendencia de OPI y las colecciones de temporada presentan colores justo fuera de la pasarela inspirados en destinos atractivos en los Estados Unidos y el mundo. OPI es conocida por sus asociaciones creativas con celebridades, fenómenos de la cultura pop, nuevos lanzamientos de películas y marcas clásicas afines.

Venta minorista de Nail Lacquers por 10,50 dólares estadounidenses y venta minorista de Infinite Shine por 13,00 dólares estadounidenses en salones profesionales y minoristas selectos. Para obtener más información, visite OPI.com y @OPI en Instagram, TikTok y Facebook y Twitter @OPI_PRODUCTS!

InventHelp Inventor Develops Accessory for weighing luggage without having to lift the bag (PIT-1085)

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — «Over 3 years ago, at an airline counter in Beijing, China, I was forced to unpack my bags and throw away personal items to meet weight restrictions. I was so embarrassed, as I did this in front of a line of annoyed travelers who looked on,» said the inventor from Ellwood City, PA, «so I invented the No-Lift Portable Luggage Scale.»

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

Transportation companies (airline, bus, train, cruise ships) are constantly revising the maximum luggage weight they will allow before fines are imposed or even bags refused. And now, many international airlines are limiting the weight of carry-on bags as well! My invention is the essential no-lift portable scale, which can be carried by any traveler to weigh their bags – anytime and anyplace.

Any luggage scale for sale today (whether mechanical or battery powered) requires a traveler to physically lift the piece to display the weight – sometimes in excess of 50 lbs.!

My patent-pending invention eliminates the need to lift heavy luggage in order to weigh it. It is efficient and user-friendly and eliminates the need for travelers to guess the physical weight thereby avoiding the embarrassment at the check-in counter and having to pay additional fees. The proposed cost of my invention would be less than the fees for one bag that was overweight. My invention features an accurate, compact, lightweight, durable and water-resistant design that is convenient to transport and store in any carry-on bag or backpack. My device has a rechargeable battery to supply power to a large backlit electronic display. Bluetooth technology is also integrated into my design to connect with a smartphone application to display the weight in lbs. or kg.

The original design was submitted to the Pittsburgh sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 19-PIT-1085, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Leyline Renewable Capital Partners with Momentum Energy Storage Partners, Invests in Growing Energy Storage Market

DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Leyline Renewable Capital, a leading provider of pre-construction debt and equity capital for renewable energy development, announced a new partnership with Momentum Energy Storage Partners, an energy storage developer based in Columbus, Ohio. Leyline’s funding will facilitate the development of numerous renewable energy projects across the United States, including existing endeavors underway within the Pennsylvania, Jersey and Maryland Power Pool (PJM) and Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) regions.

Momentum Partners and co-founders Davion Hill and Ed Rode have a collective 45 years in the renewable energy space with deep technical expertise and a vast network. This experience, combined with Leyline’s financial capabilities and extensive development knowledge, will allow the two companies to take on new storage markets and ultimately move the needle in the fight against climate change.

«The Momentum team has a wealth of experience in energy storage,» said Erik Lensch, CEO of Leyline. «Through this partnership, Leyline will provide financing and guidance to help Momentum grow its business and achieve success.
