Medical e-learning: the complement system

Medical narration · 0:30

Read the script

The complement system is part of the immune response, and has evolved to protect the body from pathogens, and other threats. It is based on multiple circulating proteins that cleave and activate one another, forming activation cascades that lead to bacterial cell killing, either through the membrane attack complex, the MAC, which disrupts the bacterial cell membrane in Gram-negative bacteria, or through phagocytosis, in both Gram-positive and negative bacteria.

Accessibility training: color inversion

Software tutorial · 0:22

Read the script

Today, we're going to check out the color inversion feature. This feature inverts the colors on our screen, making it change dark to light, and light to dark. We can use it to change black text on a white background to white text on a black background, which is great for reducing glare and eye fatigue. Let's see how it works.

Non-profit training: A Village Approach to Domestic Violence

Program introduction · 0:47

Read the script

Welcome to A Village Approach to Domestic Violence. Participants will be able to identify and evaluate existing resources and services available to support Alaska Native village members affected by domestic violence and the value of community partnerships in addressing critical issues within the village. Throughout the program, participants will explore how key village resources can assist in addressing domestic violence incidents, they will identify gaps in village resources that potentially limit support and response options, and identify new resources or opportunities to expand the capacity of existing resources to support village members affected by domestic violence.

In Sissy Spacek's words

What an Academy Award winner said about working with Irene

“The way she played it changed everything for me.”“Irene Ziegler? Oh, she's unbelievable. … She's so amazing. … When I read the script, I thought, my character doesn't like this woman. She plays my sister-in-law. But the way she played it, I'm telling you, she was brilliant. … Everything had a different value. … The bottom line is, my character loved her character. The way she played it changed everything for me. … The character had so much depth and humor. … It was really a wonderful working day for me, that day, because she was just incredible. … I know she's done lots and lots and lots and lots of theater, but man, … Irene, she's awesome.”
