Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the last few days Michael Phelps has quietly but unmistakably stayed in the frame as both legend and working brand. The most biographically significant development is a fresh reminder of his post‑pool identity as a health and family advocate: March of Dimes announced that Phelps was one of the headliners honored at its 42nd annual Sports Luncheon in New York, alongside Travis Kelce and Katie Ledecky, an event that raised about 1.4 million dollars for maternal and infant health. According to March of Dimes, his inclusion there cements him not just as an Olympic icon but as a go‑to face for serious philanthropy with long‑term social impact.On the business and investment front, his name also surfaced again in coverage of Unrivaled, the women's 3‑on‑3 basketball league. Sportcal reports that Sephora has taken naming rights to the league's Miami arena and, in recounting the league's financing, notes that Phelps was among the athlete‑investors in an earlier funding round. While this is not new money, the renewed mention underscores his ongoing strategy of backing women's sports and emerging sports properties, a slow‑burn storyline in his post‑Olympic portfolio.Closer to his aquatic roots, local coverage in Arizona shows his foundation's work continuing to scale. The Surprise Independent reports that the city of Surprise Parks and Recreation Department just secured a four‑thousand‑dollar grant to run a swim program through the Michael Phelps Foundation, a small figure in dollars but a big, recurring signal that his legacy is being institutionalized at the community level via water‑safety education.His celebrity utility remains strong enough to anchor other people's ventures. TechCrunch, in a profile of fundraising platform Alltroo, name‑checks Phelps as one of the marquee experiences the company can offer, describing sweepstakes built around swimming with Michael Phelps. That story is more about Alltroo than about him, but it shows his image is still valued currency in the charity‑experience economy.As for true breaking news drama, verified outlets have not reported any major personal controversies, viral social posts, or surprise competitive comebacks in the last few days. Any online chatter suggesting a return to elite racing or big changes to his medal collection appears, at this point, to be fan speculation rather than confirmed reporting.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Polio was one of the scourges of the 20th century. And it mainly struck children. All of a sudden a person contracted polio and suffered terribly for several days; sometimes they recovered, sometimes they died, and sometimes they were left permanently disabled. The most famous polio victim of all time, Franklin Roosevelt, hid his disability from the public. But this story has a true hero: Jonas Salk, who developed a vaccine which led to the almost complete eradication of this dreaded disease. And Dr. Salk never patented the vaccine or earned any money from his discovery.

Dr. Elizabeth Cherot, the 6th and current President and CEO of March of Dimes, and the first medical doctor to lead the organization since its founding in 1938, discusses the March of Dimes Innovation Fund.

Learn more about how NetSuite works with nonprofits here: https://bit.ly/35OC6TO Guest host and NetSuite content marketing manager, Ian McCue is back! He chats with Dave Damond, the CFO of March of Dimes, a nonprofit organization focused on the health of moms and babies facing preterm birth (2:27). After diving into how March of Dimes educates and advocates for its mission (4:50), Damond talks about his personal career history and why he ditched a big four accounting firm for the nonprofit sector (6:06). He discusses the major differences between nonprofit organizations and for profit businesses (8:04) as well as the top challenges nonprofits face, especially around fundraising and forecasting (10:09).  Damond then recalls his start at March of Dimes in 2018, during which he was hyper-focused on just one thing: Replacing the organization's 30-year-old system and implementing NetSuite in order to operate more efficiently and close the books faster (12:33). He says there were over 40 people reconciling bank accounts and acting as “local controllers,” and the finance team was inundated by manual processes, like reporting and closing the books (14:19). Damond's goal was to make the finance team more analytical, reducing manual tasks and increasing value-added work (17:47). Since implementation, March of Dimes has gained valuable insights into vendors and been able to make more informed decisions around its events, all of which has saved the organization money (22:35) and helped it fulfill its mission. Damond says NetSuite also helped the finance team pull daily reports amid the pandemic, ensuring the organization really understood its cash flow (27:04). Finally, Damond hits on his biggest achievement as March of Dimes' CFO (30:21), his top advice for future finance leaders (33:36) and where he sees the role of the CFO evolving in the future (35:33). Like what you learned?

November is Preemie Awareness month and November 17th is World Prematurity Day. 1 in 10 babies in the US are born too soon, which is before 37-40 weeks. Premature babies fight for their very survival and are at risk for significant short-term and long-term health challenges.The health equity gap in our health care system puts women and babies of color at the greatest risk, with racial and ethnic differences in preterm birth rates. In 2020, the rate of preterm birth among non-Hispanic black women was about 50% higher than the rate of preterm birth among non-Hispanic white women  or Hispanic women with African-American mothers. This campaign aims to build awareness and money in order to address and advocate for: EQUITY, ACCESS AND PREVENTION.BEHIND THESE STATISTICS ARE REAL PEOPLE. In this episode, we hear from a very real mom and her story of premature birth with her daughter who was born at 27 weeks weighing one pound, four ounces and measuring twelve inches long. Light it purple and listen in to share this particular human experience.Visit www.kellybargabos.com to listen to all past episodes and/or connect with Kelly.

Starting a story at the beginning makes sense… but what if there is a mistake in that first sentence? Does it invalidate the rest of the story? What if your experiment is based on an assumption that later turns out to be false? And how can you protect your tower of discoveries from tumbling down? We start with an unbelievable story about New York City being buried in horse manure, and discover the solution is in Detroit. Then we witness how British doctors thought they had solved polio, but actually hadn't. Finally Dr Wayne Lautt explains Looping Theory… and how that can mistake proof your experimental results. These science stories from history shed light on the modern research being done on Type 2 Diabetes. Specifically, we highlight the work of SciMar as they examine the hormone HISS - Hepatic Insulin Sensitizing Substance - and the effect it has on glucose levels in people who are insulin resistant. www.SciMar.ca
