PawnUp.com Banks on the Growing Popularity of Crypto Currencies

Innovative online pawn shop lists slice of Princess Diana and Prince Charles' wedding cake on crypto currency auction website, starting bid 420 000.00 PotCoins.

2014-04-15

DENVER, CO, April 15, 2014 (Press-News.org) In November of 2012, PawnUp.com made headlines after placing the winning bid for a slice of Royal wedding cake at an auction held by Julien's Auctions of Beverly Hills. Never being ones to shy away from a unique opportunity, the innovative online pawn shop has now placed the iconic dessert up for auction once again. But this is not your run-of-the-mill auction; it is being listed at Cannibay.com, a website that only accepts the PotCoin.info crypto currency.

"Innovation is a required component of any successful online business. PawnUp.com allows customers to sell or loan against their collectibles, virtually, with a click of a button. We are now exploring the possibility of introducing this service to crypto currency users. Since the IRS has recently declared that crypto currencies are now to be dealt with as property, PawnUp.com is looking to loan or buy against crypto currencies as any other valuable property. We thought a great way for us to test the waters in a creative and fun way would be to auction off one of our most notable collectibles. PawnUp.com is based in Denver, and with Denver being only one of two states where marijuana use is legal, we felt that an auction site that trades in PotCoins, such as Cannibay.com does, would be the ideal partner for this one-of-a-kind event," said Jay Martin, spokesperson for PawnUp.com.

"People bidding on this item should be aware that it is not 'munchie material' as the cake is no longer viable for human consumption," Martin continued. However, the sweet treat does represent an unforgettable moment in history and while it will serve as a prized memento of the past. Mr. Martin believes that crypto currencies such as PotCoins are the wave of the future. Martin goes on to say, "In addition to its appeal for recreational users, medical marijuana offers many potentially beneficial effects for people suffering from chronic pain, vomiting and nausea caused by chemotherapy, multiple sclerosis, anxiety and more. It's attracting worldwide attention, as are crypto currencies, such as PotCoins. Therefore, we feel that by hosting this auction on Cannibay.com we've created the perfect marriage of old and new, if you'll pardon the pun."

PawnUp.com will continue to research the various applications of crypto currencies and develop new ways to implement these types of payments into their existing business model.

MRI pinpoints region of brain injury in some concussion patients

2014-04-15

OAK BROOK, Ill. – Researchers using information provided by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique have identified regional white matter damage in the brains of people who experience chronic dizziness and other symptoms after concussion. The findings suggest that information provided by MRI can speed the onset of effective treatments for concussion patients. The results of this research are published online in the journal Radiology. Concussions, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), affect between 1.8 and 3.8 million individuals in the United States ...

Moth study suggests hidden climate change impacts

2014-04-15

ANN ARBOR—A 32-year study of subarctic forest moths in Finnish Lapland suggests that scientists may be underestimating the impacts of climate change on animals and plants because much of the harm is hidden from view. The study analyzed populations of 80 moth species and found that 90 percent of them were either stable or increasing throughout the study period, from 1978 to 2009. During that time, average annual temperatures at the study site rose 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter precipitation increased as well. "You see it getting warmer, you see it getting wetter ...

Blood test spots recurrent breast cancers and monitors response to treatment

2014-04-15

Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center investigators report they have designed a blood test that accurately detects the presence of advanced breast cancer and also holds promise for precisely monitoring response to cancer treatment. The test, called the cMethDNA assay, accurately detected the presence of cancer DNA in the blood of patients with metastatic breast cancers up to 95 percent of the time in laboratory studies. The findings were described in the April 15 issue of the journal . Currently, there is no useful laboratory test to monitor patients with early stage ...

Outgoing behavior makes for happier humans

2014-04-15

PULLMAN, Wash. - Happy is as happy does, apparently—for human beings all over the world. Not only does acting extroverted lead to more positive feelings across several cultures, but people also report more upbeat behavior when they feel free to be themselves. These findings were among those recently published in the Journal of Research in Personality in a paper by Timothy Church, professor of counseling psychology and associate dean of research in the College of Education at Washington State University. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation. "We ...

Simple test in the ambulance saves lives after heart attack, new study finds

2014-04-15

A new study from the University of Surrey, published today in the journal Heart, has identified a positive link between the survival of heart attack patients and the use of an electrocardiogram (ECG), by ambulance crews. Researchers, funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), analysed data from almost half a million adults admitted with a heart attack to hospitals in England and Wales, noting whether patients who came to hospital by ambulance had had an ECG test or not. The results showed that the number of patients who died within 30 days of hospital admission was ...

Awareness campaign shows signs of delaying onset of drug-resistant gonorrhea in UK

2014-04-15

In 2012, there were over 25,000 cases of gonorrhoea in the UK making it the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection after chlamydia. Control of gonorrhoea is dependent on successful antibiotic treatment, as the bacterium that causes the infection, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, has become increasingly resistance to every antibiotic used to treat it over the last 60 years. Today, at the Society for General Microbiology's Annual Conference in Liverpool, Professor Cathy Ison explains the challenges facing the treatment of the disease, which threatens to become ...

Gene variant puts women at higher risk of Alzheimer's than it does men, study finds

2014-04-15

STANFORD, Calif. — Carrying a copy of a gene variant called ApoE4 confers a substantially greater risk for Alzheimer's disease on women than it does on men, according to a new study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The scientists arrived at their findings by analyzing data on large numbers of older individuals who were tracked over time and noting whether they had progressed from good health to mild cognitive impairment — from which most move on to develop Alzheimer's disease within a few years — or to Alzheimer's disease itself. The discovery ...

Chinese herbal remedy as good as methotrexate for treating rheumatoid arthritis

2014-04-15

A traditional Chinese herbal remedy used to relieve joint pain and inflammation works as well as methotrexate, a standard drug treatment that is frequently prescribed to control the symptoms of active rheumatoid arthritis, reveals research published online in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. Furthermore, combining the herbal remedy with methotrexate—the disease modifying drug (DMARD) most commonly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis—was more effective than treatment with methotrexate alone, the findings showed. Triptergium wilfordii Hook F, or TwHF for short, ...

Lower salt intake likely to have had key role in plummeting cardiovascular disease deaths in past decade

2014-04-15

The 15% fall in dietary salt intake over the past decade in England is likely to have had a key role in the 40% drop in deaths from heart disease and stroke over the same period, concludes research published in the online journal BMJ Open. But average intake across the nation is still far too high, warn the authors. And much greater effort is needed to curb the salt content of the foods we eat, they insist. Dietary salt is known to increase blood pressure, which is itself a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. The authors base their findings on an ...

New study finds closing gap in diarrhea care of African children could save 20,000 lives

2014-04-15

Deerfield, Ill. (April 14, 2014) – Young children suffering from diarrheal diseases are less likely to receive life-saving oral rehydration therapy (ORT) if they seek treatment at private, for-profit clinics, according to the first-ever, large-scale study of child diarrhea treatment practices in sub-Saharan Africa. The stark difference in treatment between public and private clinics may be unnecessarily costing tens of thousands of lives each year from diarrheal diseases that are effectively treatable with inexpensive oral rehydration salts, researchers conclude in the ...
