The Missouri Senate overwhelmingly passed the Made in Missouri Jobs Package with a strong, bipartisan vote on Wednesday, September 14.

Soy Labs, LLC, the premier ingredient supplier delivering high-quality soy ingredients to leading health supplement formulators and manufacturers in the nutrition industry, and managing tenant of the Missouri Plant Science Center (MPSC), is seen for its technological and entrepreneurial thinking that is positioned to spur innovation and economic development in Missouri.

While touring the facility with Ryan Schmidt, Soy Labs president and other Soy Labs executives, Nixon discussed how MOSIRA and the Made in Missouri Jobs Package will create jobs while ensuring continued fiscal discipline and accountability with taxpayer resources.

“By embracing technology and showing the partnership between higher education, technology and entrepreneurship, it clearly will give us the capacity for the long term future,” Nixon said.

Soy Labs relocated from Fairfield, CA, last year, to be the managing tenant of the Missouri Plant Science Center, which is a joint venture of the Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC), the University of Missouri System and the city of Mexico, Mo.

The 25,000 square-foot Missouri Plant Science Center is a shared-use facility where researchers work alongside business and industry experts in a multi-disciplinary environment. The center facilitates the collaboration between scientific and entrepreneurial minds to turn the latest research into functional real-world applications and consumer goods.

Soy Labs recently announced a new joint research and development partnership with Missouri-based Reliv International, a direct selling company that develops, manufactures and markets nutritional products that promote optimal health and will provide greater access to the latest soy, and plant biotechnology research.

“This is a first step toward the Missouri Plant Science Center’s goal to strengthen the state’s biotechnology industry, create jobs and improve Missouri’s global economic competitiveness,” Schmidt said.

“Reliv attended the Missouri Plant Science Center last Friday, to support Gov. Nixon’s economic development efforts,” said Ryan Montgomery, Reliv’s executive vice president of worldwide sales.

“Reliv’s partnership with Soy Labs is an outgrowth of those efforts in the areas of nutritional science and technology. Our partnership will give Reliv the most advanced and effective soy ingredients on the market,” Montgomery added.

Soy Labs partnering institutions have received research funding from the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense, the American Institute for Cancer Research, and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council as well as other organizations.

As one of the key pillars of the Made in Missouri Jobs Package, MOSIRA would create a funding source to spark growth in research and technology enterprises by capturing a small percentage of the growth in state revenue over a base year from a designated group of Missouri science and innovation companies.

The Missouri Technology Corporation will administer the MOSIRA funds. MTC will reinvest the MOSIRA funding through loans and other means to generate further economic growth in the science and innovation industry sectors, with emphasis on biotechnology and life sciences. Funding will be reinvested in a wide range of programs designed to create jobs, nurture start-ups, and bring science and technology companies to the state.

“Here in Missouri, we must keep our economy moving forward by embracing science and technology and investing in research and development,” said Nixon.

NAOTF has aligned with the U.N., Bolivian Mission, and Tribal Elders to use this “most powerful sacred day and time, to augment prayers to set intentions to lovingly heal our Mother Earth, especially Her oceans that give us joy, revitalization and food,” said Mazatl, the Azteca Elder host. The ’70 Something’ Elder who danced for Pope John-Paul II, and performs fire ceremonies on PV’s Pirate Ship, warmly invites everyone to come reconnect with Mother Earth’s heart, or celebrate Her with us wherever you are.

This officially launches the worldwide Elders-led ocean healing ceremonies leading up to U.N.’s International Mother Earth Day on April 22, 2011, initiated by the Bolivians. World tribes regularly perform ceremonies where the drums call in ancestral and Nature spirits to powerfully send love and appreciation to Mother Earth’s oceans, but given our world eco crisis, the Bolivians saw we need to work cross-culturally.

“We hope our whole Earth Family participates in these ceremonies that reconnect us with our ancient earth-honoring roots, to inspire communities to remember to give thanks to our Mother Earth and take green steps to live in more harmony with Nature daily,” said Bolivia’s Ambassador Loayza.

“Time to listen to the voices of Indigenous people,” said U.N. Assembly President Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann, supported by four Nobel Prize winners, Eric Chivian, Muhammad Yunus, Joseph Stiglitz, and partner of our Elders, the late Dr. Steven Schneider.

The Aztecs chose Bandaras Bay’s pier near where the whales perform their amazing mating dances, since these ceremonies raise the vibration of the water, to help purify, heal and restore our dying oceans, and its nutrients we have foolishly trashed with more plastic than plankton from the West Coast of the Americas, to Asia. Fish are eating microscopic carcinogenic plastic that snow down on them looking like plankton. That means whales and humans are eating plastic fish. An island of trash the size of Texas where no fish live, just invaded an Hawaiian Island.

Another grave concern, “The gray whales have developed the ‘skinny syndrome,’ and in November, instead of giving birth to 200 babies in Baja California’s Magdelena Bay, there were only 10, shared Ann Wycott, Snow Magazine writer, who had hoped to show her son the birthings.

“Our foundation quickly organized a Baby Whale Emergency Ceremony in the bay near Santa Barbara City College where the whales migrate between the Arctic Circle and Baja. While it was led by gifted Maori Whalerider Elder Grandmother Pauline and Apache Earth healer Valerie Nunez with Ingrid Schmidt’s college students, healing our oceans takes a Village,” said Chaffee.

Since “toxic household products, especially detergents with synthetic fragrances, harm the immune systems of marine life,” revealed a Stanford study, the Elders and Nobel Prize winners also agree that to keep whales visiting our ports, switch ASAP to all natural baking soda, 7th Generation, Dr.Bronners, Ecover.

Lynn Wedekind of Seattle, an Acutonics(.com) instructor, is bringing her ceremonial Ohm Earth Gong. Elder, Dr. Olivia Ellis, says, “It sounds like a chorus of angels, and gives oceans and participants extra powerful healing.”

Malenankayotl, Mazatl’s son-in-law, said, “Please ideally wear white and bring a white flower and candle.” He runs their Tamaskal/sweat lodge in Ixtapa, where Chaffee and English Shamen Gail Weatherly, prayed and asked for Mazatl’s guidance in creating this unifying event.

The magnificence of the Azteca, Mayan and Huichol cultures, is only surpassed by the attention that humanity is finally giving these wisdomkeepers, especially Mayan prophesies.

Participating in these unity ceremonies and purifying Mother Earth are critical to creating a smoother 2012, said Don Alejandra, Guatemala’s National Mayan Council of Elders leader. At the urging of the Bolivians and U.N.’s Sustainability officer, Maria Mercedes Sanchez, NAOTF helped launch Elders-led mountain ceremonies at Vail Colorado’s World Ski Cup in December.

The delighted Sanchez, a Nicaraguan, then asked Chaffee to “please help inspire communities to also invite Elders to lead ocean ceremonies.”

“Puerto Vallarta is a befitting locale to also honor the Aztecs for helping seed all this after teaching Rollingbears, a Lakota-Azteca, in Telluride Colorado, to ski with TelSki’s complimentary ticket, which inspired him to save their 1995 snowless Christmas. Witnessing three more emergency weather miracles made me realize Mother Earth really listens,” said Chaffee.
