NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND, March 26, 2014 (Press-News.org) Just in time for the release of the latest blockbuster movie starring colourful Jim Henson creations The Muppets, we've created a brand new 'Unusual Suspects' roller blind to pay homage to Kermit and his friends.

The movie, which comes out at the end of March, is called 'Most Wanted' and is sure to be a huge hit with the kids. So what better way to celebrate these classic characters than a cool new roller blind design that the little ones will love.

The design features funky illustrations of all your favourite Muppets standing with co-star Ricky Gervais in a police line-up. The blind takes its inspiration from the plot of the movie, in which Gervais and Kermit play master criminals and is also a tongue in cheek nod towards the classic 'The Usual Suspects' movie.

Available online at Blinds 2go, this latest design from their in-house team is available with a blackout backing to keep the sun at bay and is perfect for bringing you a peaceful, uninterrupted night's sleep. It's ideal for the kids' rooms and maybe for a few young at heart grownups too!

Certain genetic variants may put bladder cancer patients at increased risk of recurrence

2014-03-26

In the Western world, bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and the eighth most common in women, with many patients experiencing recurrence after treatment. A new study published in BJU International indicates that inheriting certain DNA sequences can affect a patient's prognosis. The findings may help physicians identify sub-groups of bladder cancer patients who should receive intensive treatment and monitoring. Nearly half of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer experience tumor recurrences, but it is difficult to predict which patients are at risk. ...

Goats are far more clever than previously thought

Goats learn how to solve complicated tasks quickly and can recall how to perform them for at least 10 months, which might explain their remarkable ability to adapt to harsh environments, say researchers at Queen Mary University of London.

Study yields 'Genghis Khan' of brown bears, and brown and polar bear evolution

2014-03-26

Male bears are seemingly always on the prowl, roaming much greater distances than females, particularly for mating. For bear evolution, studying the paternally inherited Y chromosome is therefore a rich source to trace both the geographic dispersal and genetic differences between bear species. This new study is particularly important, because a large part of our current knowledge about range-wide population structuring in mammals relies on data from maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). More extensive male than female movement in bears and many other mammals ...

Pessimism of early global policy architects stunted developing nations' economies: Harvard study

2014-03-26

Influential economic ideas first advanced in 1911 — stressing innovation and entrepreneurialism as the fundamental generators of growth and wealth — were deemed inappropriate for developing countries, stunting progress in many parts of the world throughout the 20th century, says a distinguished Harvard academic. In a newly-published paper, Calestous Juma of the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfer Centre for Science and International Affairs calls on emerging economy countries and development agencies to revisit and adopt ideas rejected in the 1950s by "pessimistic" architects ...

Knowing true age of your heart key to curbing lifetime heart disease risk

2014-03-26

The Joint British Societies' consensus recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (JBS3), which have been drawn up by *11 UK professional societies and charitable organisations, are based on the latest available scientific evidence. They emphasise the importance of putting patients in the driving seat and starting preventive action early on, using a new method of risk assessment - the JBS3 risk calculator. Heart disease deaths have almost halved over the past 40-50 years, particularly in high income countries, thanks largely to the identification of ...

Doctors raise blood pressure in patients

2014-03-26

Doctors routinely record blood pressure levels that are significantly higher than levels recorded by nurses, the first thorough analysis of scientific data has revealed. A systematic review led by the University of Exeter Medical School, and supported by the National Institute for Health Research Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care in the South West Peninsula (NIHR PenCLAHRC), has discovered that recordings taken by doctors are significantly higher (by 7/4mmHg) than when the same patients are tested by nurses. Dr Christopher Clark, of the ...

Million suns shed light on fossilized plant

2014-03-26

Scientists have used one of the brightest lights in the Universe to expose the biochemical structure of a 50 million-year-old fossil plant to stunning visual effect. The team of palaeontologists, geochemists and physicists investigated the chemistry of exceptionally preserved fossil leaves from the Eocene-aged 'Green River Formation' of the western United States by bombarding the fossils with X-rays brighter than a million suns produced by synchrotron particle accelerators. Researchers from Britain's University of Manchester and Diamond Light Source and the Stanford ...

Male Eurasian jays know that their female partners' desires can differ from their own

2014-03-26

Knowing what another person wants is not a trivial issue, particularly when the other's desires are different from our own. The ability to disengage from our own desire to cater to someone else's wishes is thought to be a unique feature of human cognition. New research challenges this assumption. Despite wanting something different to eat, male Eurasian jays can disengage from their own current desire in order to feed the female what she wants even when her desires are different to his. The study, which was funded by the BBSRC, is published today in the Royal Society ...

Study is first to provide direct evidence that response of unborn children to glucose is associated with mother's insulin sensitivity

2014-03-26

A study published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes) is the first to provide direct evidence that fetal brain response to a dose of sugar given orally to its mother is associated with the mother's insulin sensitivity. This may indicate that the risk of subsequent obesity and diabetes may be pre-programmed in the womb. The study is by Dr Hubert Preissl and Dr Andreas Fritsche, University of Tübingen, Germany and German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD), Neuherberg, Germany, and colleagues. Diabetes or obesity in the mother ...
