  • Korn Edward Oral History 2019
    NATIONAL HEART, LUNG, AND BLOOD INSTITUTE ORAL HISTORY PROJECT INTERVIEW WITH Edward D. Korn JANUARY 15, 2019 HISTORY ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED 300 N. STONESTREET AVENUE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND 20850 Telephone: (301) 279-9697 Fax: (301) 279-9224 www.historyassociates.com Edward D. Korn Biographical Statement Dr. Edward Korn was born in 1928 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry (1949) and a PhD in biochemistry (1954) from the University of Pennsylvania. As a graduate student he was awarded fellowships by the University of Pennsylvania and the Damon Runyon Foundation. He began his career at NIH in 1953, when he joined the new intramural research program of the National Heart Institute, now the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, working in Building 3. The NHI staff included Chris Anfinsen, Bob Berliner, Earl and Terry Stadtman, Jack Orloff, Martha Vaughan, to name a few, with James Watt as Director and James Shannon as Scientific Director. Of this original group, eleven have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, two became Nobel laureates, and three became NIH directors. It was out of this creative, heady atmosphere that Dr. Korn began his research, first in the lab of Chris Anfinsen working on the hydrolysis of lipoproteins. Then moving on to his own work and lab, he has continued at the NHLBI for sixty-five years. Since his groundbreaking discovery of the first unconventional non-filamentous myosin, myosin I, in the single- cell soil protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii, Dr. Korn’s research has focused on the function and regulation of the actomyosin system.

  • Phillis Meti Wins World Long Drive Championship with Exotics Driver by Tour Edge
    Phillis Meti Wins World Long Drive Championship with Exotics Driver by Tour Edge 2nd World Long Drive Championship in Three Years for Exotics Driver Tour Edge Exotics staff player Phillis Meti won the women’s Volvik World Long Drive Championship Wednesday night with a 313 yard drive in the final round of the live for television Golf Channel event. Meti recently switched to a new Exotics driver and is now a 3-time World Champion that has won two World titles in the last three years competing with an Exotics by Tour Edge driver. She is now tied for second-most all time World Championships in the Women’s Division with Stacey Shinnick (2000, ’02, ’05). Meti’s 317-yard drive in the semifinal match moved her on to the Finals in Thackerville, Oklahoma. “This is really unbelievable,” Meti said following the win. “When we took a different course earlier this year in terms of training and focus and having the intention to win the World Long Drive Championship again, you know this is just the cherry on the cake.” Meti, from New Zealand, has a strong history with World Long Drive as the Volvik World Long Drive Champion (2016, 2018), Volvik World Long Drive Runner-Up (2007, 2008) and 2017 Clash in the Canyon and 2018 Atlantic City Boardwalk Bash Runner-Up. “We are so proud of Phillis for her amazing victory in World Long Drive last night,” said designer of the Exotics driver and President of Tour Edge, David Glod. “This is a growing sport that is aired live on Golf Channel so Phillis has given our driver a huge amount of exposure.

  • 12 Great Ideasfor Golf Tournaments
    12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Golf Relay This is a team event where members of the team switch off 1 after each shot, like a relay running event. One person drives the ball, then the next hits the ball onto the green, then the next puts it in, and so forth and so on. The idea is just to switch out in a set rotation after each hit to make the course more challenging. The team that completes the tournament quickest and the team with the lowest score are both given prizes. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Golfathon There is a limited field of individual golfers (15-30) who 2 play as many holes as they can in a day. The golfers acquire pledges from sponsors for their rounds and it’s basically like any race where the golfer then tries to get in as many holes as possible to maximize pledges. The money then goes to the designated charity. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Porcupine Hole There are three pins on a par three. One is the main pin 3 and two others have different colors. The main pin should be in a harder location on the green and the golfer/teams would then have the option to pay a fee to try for the easier pin placements. The different color pins makes this look interesting too. 12 Great Ideas for Golf Tournaments TIP Lone Ranger The idea for this one is simple, but interesting. Players form 4 into teams, but only one person plays each hole and the goal is for the team as a whole to rack up a good score.

  • Är Öl En Könskodad Dryck? Vad Kvinnor Tycker Om Smaken Av Öl
    Örebro universitet Restaurang- och hotellhögskolan Är öl en könskodad dryck? Vad kvinnor tycker om smaken av öl Datum: 2014-06-09 Godkänd den: Kurs: Måltidskunskap och värdskap C, Examensarbete MÅ1607 Betyg: Provkod: 0101 Författare: Sara Andersson Handledare: Inger M. Jonsson Examinator: Agneta Yngve Bihandledare: Henrik Scander Örebro universitet Restaurang- och hotellhögskolan Examensarbete Datum: 2014-06-09 Kurs: Måltidskunskap och värdskap C, Examensarbete MÅ1607 Titel: Är öl en könskodad dryck? Vad kvinnor tycker om smaken av öl Författare: Sara Andersson Handledare: Inger M. Jonsson Examinator: Agneta Yngve Sammanfattning Ölbryggning har genom historien alltid varit en syssla som hört till kvinnornas arbete på gården. Kunskapen gick i arv från mor till dotter men idag är situationen den omvända. Öl görs av män för män. Det finns en utvecklingspotential att skapa ett varumärke som vänder sig till kvinnliga konsumenter, också. Uppsatsen undersöker huruvida det finns en kvinnlig smakprofil på öl och ger förslag på hur den i så fall kan se ut. Två fokusgrupper om vardera fyra kvinnliga informanter har intervjuats. Båda grupperna var att anse som naturliga grupper med en medelålder på 23 respektive 45 år. Det transkriberade intervjumaterialet har analyserats med hjälp av innehållsanalys där fem kategorier knutna till studiens syfte uppkom. Slutsatser som kan dras av studien är att den internationella lagern är normgivande för vad en öl är och för att öl som stilmässigt skiljer sig från lagern objektivt ska kunna bedömas måste den flyttas från kategorin öl till kategorin dryck. Normen påverkar även inlärningsprocessen att lära sig tycka om öl, som i sig beror på en vilja att vara en del av en gemenskap.
