First Medicine Shown to Extend Survival Beyond One Year in Previously Untreated Lung Cancer Patients BASEL, Switzerland, Aug. 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Avastin (bevacizumab), Roche's innovative anti-cancer drug, was approved today in Europe for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. NSCLC is the most common form of lung cancer, a difficult to treat disease that kills over 3,000 people per day worldwide.(1) NSCLC is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, meaning individuals diagnosed with the disease typically have a life expectancy of only 8 to 10 months.(2),(3) Avastin is the only first-line therapy to demonstrate improved survival benefits beyond one year in patients with advanced NSCLC. The approval is based on data from the pivotal US phase III trial (E4599) and the 'Avastin in Lung' (AVAiL) phase III trial. Both studies demonstrate that Avastin is effective for the treatment of patients with NSCLC in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy. The approval is for the use of Avastin at a dose of 7.5 or 15 mg/kg, in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of patients with unresectable advanced, metastatic or recurrent NSCLC other than predominantly squamous cell histology. The broad label that Avastin has received for the treatment of NSCLC allows the combination of Avastin with any platinum-based chemotherapy regimens (for example, together with taxanes or gemcitabine) at the choice of the physician. Professor Christian Manegold, Professor of Medicine at Heidelberg University, University Medical Center Mannheim, Germany and Principal Investigator of the AVAiL trial, was enthusiastic about the news: "Lung cancer is an extremely difficult disease to treat and Avastin has proven that it can prolong the life of patients with NSCLC. A treatment like Avastin that breaks through the one year survival barrier is a big step forward. The European approval for Avastin means we can reassess our expectations for lung cancer patient survival." Avastin is the first and only anti-angiogenic agent which has been shown to consistently deliver improved overall and/or progression-free survival for patients with colorectal, lung, breast and kidney cancer. About the Phase III studies that formed the basis of the approval E4599 study The results of the randomised, controlled, multicentre phase III E4599 study of 878 patients with locally advanced, metastatic or recurrent NSCLC, with histology other than predominant squamous cell, show that median survival of patients treated with Avastin at a dose of 15 mg/kg every three weeks plus chemotherapy was 12.3 months, compared to 10.3 months for patients treated with chemotherapy alone. Patients receiving Avastin in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin had a 25% improvement in overall survival compared to patients who received chemotherapy alone. Side effects were generally manageable. Pulmonary haemorrhage/ haemoptysis cases were observed in 2.3% of the patients receiving Avastin plus chemotherapy. The most common adverse events associated with Avastin therapy were: hypertension (5.6%), proteinuria (4.2%), fatigue (5.1%) and dyspnoea (5.6%).(4) AVAiL study In the double-blind, randomised, controlled, phase III AVAiL study, patients received treatment with either Avastin at 7.5mg/kg or 15mg/kg + cisplatin/gemcitabine or placebo + cisplatin/gemcitabine. The study involved more than 1,000 patients world-wide with previously untreated advanced NSCLC, with histology other than predominant squamous cell. The results show that by adding Avastin to a cisplatin/gemcitabine regimen progression-free survival was significantly prolonged by 20 to 30% compared with chemotherapy alone. No new or unexpected adverse events were observed. All trademarks used or mentioned in this release are protected by law.

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- MedImmune, Inc. today announced that in a Phase 3 study, motavizumab was shown to reduce hospitalizations due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) by 83 percent as compared to placebo (8.3 percent in placebo arm vs. 1.4 percent in motavizumab; p<0.001), as the trial's primary endpoint. In addition, the trial showed a 71-percent reduction in the incidence of RSV-specific lower respiratory infections (LRIs) requiring outpatient management (9.5 percent in placebo group and 2.8 percent in the motavizumab group; p<0.001), which was a secondary endpoint. Motavizumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody (MAb) being evaluated for its potential to prevent serious disease caused by RSV in high-risk pediatric patients. This Phase 3 trial involved 1,410 full-term infants less than six months of age in two Native American populations. In previous medical studies these populations were shown to have high rates of hospitalization due to RSV. The randomized (2:1), double-blind study was designed to compare monthly intramuscular injections of motavizumab against placebo. After an interim analysis conducted by an independent data safety monitoring committee, the study was unblinded early due to statistical evidence demonstrating that motavizumab reduced RSV hospitalizations and LRIs requiring outpatient medical management within this population. Kate O'Brien, M.D., associate professor at the Center for American Indian Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, served as the study's principal investigator. "We are pleased with the results of this study which support the positive results seen in our Phase 3 pivotal trial comparing motavizumab and Synagis(R) (palivizumab) that were previously reported at the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting in May 2007," said Genevieve Losonsky, M.D., vice president, clinical development, infectious disease, MedImmune. Motavizumab was well tolerated in these Native American infants, with an overall incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) that were similar between the motavizumab and the placebo groups. The mortality rates were not statistically different between groups (0.4 percent in the placebo arm, n=2 and 0.3 percent in the motavizumab arm, n=3) and were not considered to be related to the study drug. As was suggested in the pivotal Phase 3 trial conducted in high-risk, preterm infants, rates of hypersensitivity related skin rashes within two days of dosing were seen in about one percent of treated children in the motavizumab group. MedImmune's Commitment to RSV Prevention MedImmune is a world leader in the development of innovative therapeutic biologic products to prevent RSV disease. In 1996, MedImmune launched the first anti-RSV drug, RespiGam(R) (respiratory syncytial virus immune globulin intravenous (human) (RSV-IGIV)), which was a polyclonal antibody administered via four-hour intravenous infusion. In 1998, MedImmune introduced Synagis, which was a significant product improvement as a monthly intramuscular injection for the prevention of severe RSV, as well as being the first MAb to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for an infectious disease. With the development of motavizumab, MedImmune continues to reinforce its commitment to developing anti-RSV products. In a head-to-head comparative Phase 3 trial with Synagis, motavizumab met its primary endpoint of reducing RSV-related hospitalizations in high-risk pediatric patients and met its secondary endpoint of reducing medically attended, outpatient respiratory tract infections in that patient group. MedImmune is also developing a small-molecule product candidate to prevent RSV as well as a vaccine against RSV, both of which are in Phase 1 clinical trials. About RSV Each year, up to 125,000 infants in the U.S. are hospitalized with severe RSV infections, the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections in infants in the United States. RSV is the most common respiratory infection in infancy or childhood. Approximately one-half of all infants are infected with RSV during the first year of life, and nearly all children have been infected at least once by the time they reach their second birthday. Children born prematurely as well as those with chronic lung disease (CLD) or congenital heart disease (CHD) are at highest risk for severe disease and hospitalization due to RSV. The virus may also cause severe illness in other high-risk groups such as the elderly, those with underlying respiratory or cardiac disease, and those with compromised immune systems (e.g., bone marrow transplant patients). About Motavizumab Motavizumab, formerly known as Numax(R), is an investigational humanized MAb being evaluated for its potential to prevent serious lower respiratory tract disease caused by RSV in pediatric patients at high risk of RSV disease. Phase 1 and Phase 2 study data have been reported showing that motavizumab appears to have a similar safety and pharmacokinetic profile to Synagis in infants. Additionally, in early phase studies children treated with motavizumab had reduced RSV replication in the upper respiratory tract. In its first pivotal trial, which was a head-to-head comparative trial with Synagis, motavizumab demonstrated a 26-percent reduction in RSV hospitalizations due to RSV and a 50-percent reduction in the incidence of RSV lower respiratory tract infections requiring outpatient management, its secondary endpoint. About Synagis Synagis is the only monoclonal antibody approved by the FDA to help prevent an infectious disease. Synagis was approved for use in the United States in 1998, Europe in 1999, and Japan in 2002. Synagis is currently available in 62 countries. Synagis is indicated for the prevention of serious lower respiratory tract disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in pediatric patients at high risk of RSV disease and is administered by intramuscular injection. The safety and efficacy of Synagis were established in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), infants with a history of prematurity (less than or equal to 35 weeks gestational age), and children with hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease. The first dose of Synagis should be administered prior to commencement of the RSV season, which usually starts in the fall and runs through the spring. Patients, including those who develop an RSV infection, should continue to receive monthly doses throughout the season. Very rare cases (<1 per 100,000 patients) of anaphylaxis and rare (<1 per 1,000 patients) hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with Synagis. Cases of anaphylaxis were reported following re-exposure to Synagis and rare severe hypersensitivity reactions occurred on initial exposure or re-exposure. If a severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, therapy with Synagis should be permanently discontinued. If milder hypersensitivity reaction occurs, caution should be used on re-administration of Synagis. In clinical trials, the most common adverse events occurring at least one percent more frequently in Synagis-treated patients than controls were upper respiratory infection, otitis media, fever and rhinitis. Cyanosis and arrhythmia were seen in children with CHD. The pivotal trial for Synagis was called the IMpact trial and comprised a total of 1,502 children who were randomized (500 placebo, 1,002 Synagis) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled protocol where 1,486 children completed the study's follow-up. In the IMpact trial, monthly prophylaxis with Synagis via intramuscular injections was associated with a 55-percent reduction in hospitalization as a result of RSV (p=<0.001). Reductions were observed in both children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (38 percent reduction) and premature children without BPD (78 percent reduction). Approximately 50 percent of the children in the analysis had BPD. For full prescribing information for Synagis, see the company's website at: http://www.medimmune.com/products/synagis/index.asp . About International RSV Prophylaxis Outside the United States, Synagis is distributed by Illinois-based Abbott, a global, broad-based health care company. Abbott also has the ex-U.S. distribution rights to motavizumab. About MedImmune, Inc.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Aug. 23 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Acision today announces that following a competitive tender, leading Pakistani operator Pak Telecom Mobile Limited (PTML) has upgraded its Acision high performance Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) to support rapid uptake of SMS for its mobile service brand, Ufone. PTML is expanding Ufone's messaging capacity by 700% to handle very high volumes of messaging traffic and provide subscribers with a consistently high-quality messaging experience. The mobile market in Pakistan has been experiencing strong and sustained development, reaching above 60 million subscribers across the country, while still only at a 40% penetration level. In Pakistan's unsaturated market which is experiencing falling handset costs, there are a high number of new subscribers to compete for, with most operators adding an average of half a million subscribers per month. However as penetration levels rise, mobile operators will have to differentiate on superior service levels if they are to avoid simply competing on price. PTML's SMSC extension will provide the operator with a state-of-the-art messaging platform to meet the growing demand for SMS messaging among mobile phone users in Pakistan. Building on an already established relationship with Acision as a key messaging infrastructure provider, PTML can rely on its high performance SMSC to scale ahead of growing demand and to bring continuous innovation, anticipating future messaging requirements. Mr Mubashir Naqvi, President and CEO for PTML commented: "There is real opportunity for operators in Pakistan to grow subscriber bases, but to successfully build long-term success it is crucial to have a reliable and advanced infrastructure in place. Acision has provided quality and innovation in messaging platforms over the past six years, establishing the company as PTML's preferred value-added services provider. Boudewijn Pesch, Managing Director for Acision in Asia Pacific, added: "Pakistan is an exciting market for Acision, presenting great potential for high performance mobile data services such as mobile messaging, which operators are looking to build on as they seek to capture forecasted revenues. In Pakistan, Acision powers messaging systems for three out of six mobile operators and globally we process half of all text and multimedia messages sent daily. This means that we have not only the experience, presence and support capability to meet PTML's requirements for today, but also for its future long-term growth."

Berlin Partner and its sister organization from North Rhine-Westfalia will be the only German state business development agencies represented at the fair. Berlin is one of the most important publishing cities in Germany and even leads the nation in fiction, science, and educational publishing. The capital is home to 500 printing presses and boasts 150 companies specializing in the processing of printed material, including bookbinding and special embossment. With 8,400 first editions (2005), Berlin ranks second of all publishing cities in Germany. The capital produces 11 daily newspapers, 3 Sunday papers, 10 city magazines, 7 advertising papers, 6 weekly papers, as well as a wide variety of regional and national magazines and tender papers. There are roughly 13,200 people working in the print industry in Berlin, which last year recorded a turnover of 3.8 million euro.

The Berlin stand will present more than 50 books on Berlin. In addition, Klaus Baumgart, creator of the children's book "Laura's Star" and the most successful children's writer in Germany today, will attend the fair and provide support for Berlin Partner's efforts. "Laura's Star" has already been filmed by Cartoon Film, one of Berlin's most prominent animation companies, and was also adapted for TV by a German-Chinese co-production. Berlin Partner will also draw on the support of another Berliner, Jutta Harms, a prominent organisor of international comic festivals and an expert on the European comic industry.

World Health Report 2007: A safer future -- global public health security in the 21st century GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 23 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- More than at any previous time in history, global public health security depends on international cooperation and the willingness of all countries to act effectively in tackling new and emerging threats. That is the clear message of this year's World Health Report, A Safer Future, which concludes with six key recommendations to secure the highest level of global public health security: (Logo: http://www.xprn.com/xprn/sa/20061102095006-51-min.jpg ) -- Full implementation of the revised International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) by all countries. -- Global cooperation in surveillance and outbreak alert and response. -- Open sharing of knowledge, technologies and materials, including viruses and other laboratory samples, necessary to optimize secure global public health. -- Global responsibility for capacity building within the public health infrastructure of all countries. -- Cross-sector collaboration within governments. -- Increased global and national resources for training, surveillance, laboratory capacity, response networks, and prevention campaigns. In our increasingly interconnected world, new diseases are emerging at an unprecedented rate, often with the ability to cross borders rapidly and spread. Since 1967, at least 39 new pathogens have been identified, including HIV, Ebola haemorrhagic fever, Marburg fever and SARS. Other centuries-old threats, such as pandemic influenza, malaria and tuberculosis, continue to pose a threat to health through a combination of mutation, rising resistance to antimicrobial medicines and weak health systems. "Given today's universal vulnerability to these threats, better security calls for global solidarity," said Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). "International public health security is both a collective aspiration and a mutual responsibility. The new watchwords are diplomacy, cooperation, transparency and preparedness." The need for global solidarity is especially clear in the response to outbreaks of infectious diseases. This month, WHO has been closely involved in the response to an outbreak of Marburg fever in Uganda. Together with partners in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) including the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Medecins sans Frontieres, the Uganda Virus Research Institute, and African Field Epidemiology Network and local NGOs, WHO is supporting the Ministry of Health to strengthen active surveillance, contact tracing, infection control, logistics, and social mobilization activities in an effort to contain the outbreak. The team is carefully studying conditions surrounding the initial transmission, in the hope of improving understanding of where the virus resides in nature and how it passes to humans, improving the ability to predict and prevent outbreaks in the future. WHO and its partners are closely involved in the global response to H5N1 avian influenza, which has caused huge outbreaks in poultry and at least 308 human deaths since it was first isolated in humans in 1997. This World Health Report traces the history of efforts to contain infectious diseases (including plague, cholera and smallpox). It describes the evolution of outbreak surveillance and response activities of international partnerships of agencies and technical institutions. These include GOARN, the chemical and environmental health incident alert and response system, and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which is supporting surveillance of many other vaccine-preventable diseases. The report shows how and why diseases are increasingly threatening global public health security. High and rapid mobility of people is one factor. Airlines now carry more than 2 billion passengers a year, enabling people and the diseases that travel with them to pass from one country to another in a matter of hours. The potential health and economic impact was seen in 2003 with SARS, which cost Asian countries an estimated US$ 60 billion of gross expenditure and business losses. The report outlines some of the human factors behind public health insecurity, including: -- inadequate investment in public health resulting from a false sense of security in the absence of infectious disease outbreaks; -- unexpected policy changes such as a decision temporarily to halt immunization in Nigeria, which led to the re-emergence of polio cases; -- conflict situations when forced migration obliges people to live in overcrowded, unhygienic and impoverished conditions heightening the risk of epidemics; -- microbial evolution and antibiotic resistance; and -- animal husbandry and food processing threats such as the human form of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and Nipah virus. Pandemic influenza is described as the most feared threat to health security in our times. The report sets out the WHO strategic action plan to respond to a pandemic, draws attention to the need for stronger health systems and for continued vigilance in managing the risks and consequences of the international spread of polio and the newly emerging strain of extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB). New health threats have also emerged, linked to potential terrorist attacks, chemical incidents and radionuclear accidents. The revised International Health Regulations (2005) are based on the premise that no country can fully protect its citizens in isolation or through traditional border controls. The IHR 2005 is a set of rules that governs how countries should assess and report to WHO public health emergencies of potential international concern. The broad definitions of "public health risk", "disease" and "event" ensure that risks caused by the accidental or intentional release of pathogens or chemical or radionuclear materials are covered by the Regulations. Since the IHR 2005 entered into force, almost all of the 193 WHO Member States have established their national IHR focal points, with 179 designations. Since then, WHO has been receiving alerts of health events on a regular basis, conducting joint risk assessments with the notifying State(s) and sharing real-time information with other Member States. The full report can be downloaded at : http://www.who.int/whr/2007/en/ The Report is available in English, French and Spanish and the Executive summery in the six UN languages.

Sharapova Unveils Custom Day and Evening Dresses Designed to Match Her Explosive Play and Iconic On-Court Style NEW YORK, Aug. 23 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Today on the rooftop of Rockefeller Center, Maria Sharapova showed why New York is a magical place for her as she unveiled her 2007 US Open day and evening dresses she'll wear for match play. One of the world's most dynamic cities, New York is a venue where the tennis star proved today she could indulge in her love of fashion and sense of style while making a powerful statement on the court. The defending champion joined Nike designers for a press conference to debut her custom, atomic red, Swarovski-crystal encrusted evening dress she'll take to the court in for her first round match. She modeled the flared, shift-silhouette dress set against the backdrop of the New York City skyline that inspired its design. She also presented a custom white and black version she'll wear for day matches. ( Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990818/NIKELOGO ) Last year, Sharapova began solidifying her iconic approach to performance and style by taking on-court wear to a new level by competing in custom dresses designed specially for her day and evening matches. Best known at last year's tournament for the "little black dress" she wore for evening matches, Maria sent a clear message about her style while on her way to winning the 2006 title. Continuing the trend for this year's US Open, Maria will turn heads again in new custom outfits that showcase her impeccable sense of style while incorporating cutting-edge technical features, allowing her to perform at her very best. Building on the success of their past collaborations, Nike and Maria worked together for the 2nd time, specifically for the US Open to create coordinated tennis outfits for day and night matches that seamlessly blend beauty and performance. "Nike has always understood my desire to make a big impression in New York," says Maria. "And the dresses that we've worked on for the US Open have always looked as good as they feel when I'm playing. This year is especially exciting because the designs are inspired by the city itself. " For Nike Head of Global Tennis Apparel Gill Brown, working with Maria was an opportunity to design apparel for an athlete whose fashion instinct is as refined as her game: "She is dedicated to tennis and shows the same amount of passion for her apparel -- a real perfectionist," says Gill. "For the US Open, our challenge was to design a look that connects Maria to New York and will be special to her. The answer is the skyline graphic, which links the day and night dress together in a very dramatic way." New York by Night For Maria's night matches, designers worked with her to create a knee-length atomic red dress with a simple, flared shift silhouette in ultra lightweight Dri-FIT jersey. The Dri-FIT fabrication is elegant and sleek, delivering a fluid silhouette, ease of movement, moisture management, and breathability. No-sew constructed seams throughout not only provide a clean finish to the dress, but also guarantee minimum abrasion and maximum comfort. In addition to its feminine detailing, the dress is done in an atomic red hue, a striking element that stands out as powerfully as her forehand. The tennis star played a big part in selecting the right shade, innately aware of which color would best enhance the style she wanted for this tournament and what it might symbolize. Red, after all, is the color closely associated with the Big Apple, from the carpets during fashion week to the twinkling taillights on 5th Avenue at night. After winning in New York last year, red seemed the most appropriate color for Maria to make her red carpet return to the tournament. Knowing Maria's affinity for the energy and glamour of New York, Nike integrated New York's famous skyline into the dress, thereby artfully uniting her game with her favorite city. Maria's evening dress literally and figuratively reflects the backdrop of the city at night. The front graphic design is patterned after the skyline with an abstract twist as the design is inverted and featured upside down. By incorporating more than 600 authentic Swarovski crystals, the result is a stunning neckline worthy of any red carpet appearance. The New York skyline is represented in the night dress by more than 600 Swarovski crystals, creating the stunning night skyline of one of the fashion capitals of the world. Three crystal buttons down the back create a triple keyhole effect that offers ventilation and an attractive, functional-yet-stylish appearance. New York by Day For Maria's day matches, designers worked with her to create a classic black and white dress with a simple, flared shift silhouette also done in an ultra lightweight Dri-FIT jersey. The outfit is enhanced with feminine detailing such as an upper body and overlay hem in transparent Dri-FIT jersey. Dramatic elements like the stunning graphics on the front -- that offers a similar interpretation of the New York skyline flipped on the inverse -- and a sexy scooped back neckline appeal to Maria's aesthetic sensibility. Designers also integrated New York's famous skyline into the day dress. Both aesthetic and functional, the abstract graphic -- depicting the inverted, angular shapes of Manhattan's towering buildings and shadows -- adorns the transparent fabric of the upper body. By using a laser-cut, heat bonded self fabric and a highly contrasting color combination, Nike has transformed this notorious landscape into a striking, negative-print effect. These kinds of dramatic visual touches, along with unexpected elements like a sexy scooped-back neckline, appeal to both Maria's aesthetic and athletic sensibilities. "Details such as these that are extremely important to Maria," says senior designer Colleen Sandieson. "Not only do they make her feel special, but they also help enhance her performance." The scoop-back design not only facilitates movement, but also creates a flattering appearance that rivals current runway looks. Again, Dri-FIT fabrication delivers a fluid silhouette, ease of movement, moisture management, and breathability. The no-sew constructed seams offer minimum abrasion with maximum comfort. With its color-block palette of black and white, the day dress is the epitome of simplicity, beauty, and athletic elegance. Atomic red, seamless shorts inject an added flash of color for an eye-catching finish. The Venue The fourth of the 2007 Grand Slam tournaments, the US Open will take place August 27th - September 8th in New York. Tune in as Maria models (by playing in) the dress she inspired, resetting the boundary where beauty and performance meet.

Survey to Collect Data from Professionals in Financial Institutions, Law Enforcement and Regulatory Agencies Worldwide MIAMI, Aug. 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS), the premier membership organization for AML professionals, today launched the first salary survey designed specifically for the AML/CFT (combating the financing of terrorism) industry. Administered through an independent, third-party research firm, the "2007 AML/CFT Compensation Survey" was released today to specialists in law enforcement, financial institutions, and government regulatory agencies worldwide. The survey's results report is expected in October 2007. In an industry with thousands of specialists around the world, a primary goal of the survey is to collect and analyze salary data from a comprehensive range of public and private sector employees in the AML/CFT field at every level. Participants in the survey will range from professionals in community banks to executives at global financial institutions, as well as representatives from law enforcement and in regulatory agencies on six continents. "As an instrumental global AML resource center, ACAMS is spearheading the effort to train and support professionals in the face of increasing demand for AML specialists," says Gregory Calpakis, Executive Director for ACAMS. "The compensation survey will be a valuable tool for the field's rapidly growing number of practitioners, who have long awaited this kind of aggregated, comprehensive information." As members of a highly specialized, yet geographically diffused, discipline, AML/CFT professionals have found it challenging to accurately gauge their compensation relative to that of their peers. It has been equally difficult for employers to determine compensation for their AML/CFT employees, with a vast range of experience and education represented in this rapidly growing field. The survey questions progressively drill down to the various titles and responsibilities in the AML and compliance field. An in-depth, comparative analysis of job title, years of experience, certification, skill set, level in an organization, and type of business will serve as a useful barometer for professionals in different geographic regions and help differentiate between public and private sector job compensation. To ensure the integrity of the survey, ACAMS has contracted The Dihedral Group to administer the survey, and to collect, assess, and analyze individual responses. Survey results will be published only in aggregate, with individual responses being consolidated to ensure complete confidentiality. To view and/or take the survey, go to http://www.acams.org . ABOUT ACAMS ACAMS is an international membership organization dedicated to enhancing the knowledge and skills of AML professionals around the globe. It serves as a uniquely valuable resource for thousands of members from more than 100 countries, promoting year-round support to develop and sharpen the skills required for superior job performance and career advancement. Its CAMS certification is the most widely recognized AML certification among compliance professionals worldwide.

「低温殺菌ノンホモ牛乳伊都物語」は、生乳に近い牛乳で、バターができます。
スーパーで大量販売されている牛乳との違いを体験してください。
本文:
1.「バター作り体験キット」新発売
しぼりたてに近い牛乳は、バターを作ることができます。
そこで、伊都物語の低温殺菌ノンホモ牛乳と、わかりやすい説明書、その他必要なキャップやストローなどをセットにして発売いたします。
2.バターができる理由
しぼりたての生乳は、静置しておくと「クリームライン」と呼ばれる生クリームの層が、上部にできます。
これは、乳脂肪が集まってきてできるものです。
乳脂肪は、牛乳の中ではたんぱく質のまくに包まれています。そのまくを壊してやることによって、脂肪分が集まりバターができます。
一般に売られている牛乳は、大量生産するために短時間で高温殺菌します。そのためには、脂肪球を粉々に小さく砕く必要があります。脂肪球を砕いているのでバターはできません。
低温殺菌ノンホモ牛乳は、低温でじっくり殺菌するため、脂肪球を壊す必要がありません。このノンホモ牛乳から、バターを作ることができます。
3.低温殺菌ノンホモ牛乳伊都物語について
「低温殺菌ノンホモ牛乳伊都物語」は、福岡県糸島地方の酪農家が設立した「糸島みるくぷらんと」が販売しております。より搾りたてに近い牛乳をみなさまにお届けしたいという願いよりつくられました。
結果、たんぱく質やカルシウムがより吸収されやすく、生乳に近い風味も保たれています。
糸島の自然の中で、毎朝搾乳した新鮮な生乳を使用し、手間ひまかけて低温殺菌ノンホモ牛乳を造っております。
「安心・安全・美味しさ・健康」にこだわる伊都物語からの提案です。
