2010-11-20

LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, November 20, 2010 (Press-News.org) Littlewoods Europe has announced it will be launching a #wordless Wednesday competition on its blog in the weeks leading up to Christmas. The competition will run weekly on the Littlewoods Europe blog, and customers can enter by simply following the blogs and leaving a comment.

Wordless Wednesday sees Twitter and blog users posting pictures to their accounts which require no words as way of an explanation. Wordless Wednesday is similar to other Twitter themed days such as Travel Tuesday and Follow Friday.

As part of the competition, Littlewoods Europe will be posting pictures on their blog and asking followers to guess what the picture shows. The picture displays a small partition of the item which is up for grabs and to enter followers simply have to tell Littlewoods Europe what the picture shows and why they think they should win. Winners are then selected at random and announced on the company's blog and Twitter page.

The competition is designed to give followers the chance to win some of the most wanted items this Christmas season. The use of the blog and Twitter as a platform for the competition will allow customers from all over Europe to take part.

A spokesperson for Littlewood Europe said: "We are running a weekly competition to win a range of great items from our on-line store and decided it would be more engaging to use #wordless Wednesday as the mechanic to do this."

There will be several prizes available to the winners, including a Sekonda steel watch, a leather Hobo bag, a Kodak Mini camcorder, bottles of Britney Spears' perfume and an advent house, as well as many children's toys including Zhu Zhu Pets, a Lego Duplo fire station, a radio controlled car and a Vtech Lighting McQueen learning laptop.

CSA 2010 and Compliance Safety Systems, What You're Not Being Told About CSA 2010

2010-11-20

As I, David Saunders, have been serving on the ATA CSA 2010 Task Force Committee, I have come across a reoccurring issue that has me troubled. Facts show Motor Carrier industry leads FMCSA by a score of "60" to "Zero" and the Public Citizens are in disbelief as the watch these scores unfold. Ordinarily in sports the higher the score, the more you are winning, but with CSA, the higher the score, the more you are losing, and no one likes a losing team, especially the fans, known as the public. As I continue to almost read daily in any given press release or article ...

2010-11-19

University of Alberta researchers have unearthed a mysterious link between bones of an ancient lizard found in Africa and the biggest, baddest modern-day lizard of them all, the Komodo dragon, half a world away in Indonesia. Biologists Alison Murray and Rob Holmes say the unique shape of the vertebrae links the 33-million-year-old African lizard fossil with its cousin the Komodo, which has only been around for some 700,000 years. "The African fossil was found on the surface of a windswept desert," said Holmes. "It's definitely from the lizard genus Varanus and there ...
