By matching the activities, interests and technology preferences of the Pal and the teen to be supervised, teens can now connect to an adult in a manner parents will approve of and teens will respond to.

They need to be assured that they allow their kids to interact with and be supervised by people they know enough about to trust and rely upon", says Yossi Pinkas, CEO and Founder of TakeCare. "NannyTest, combined with additional screening tools, provides parents with sufficient information to choose the best caregiver for their kids."

2011-04-02
New Haven, Conn.—Fuel cells have been touted as a cleaner solution to tomorrow's energy needs, with potential applications in everything from cars to computers.

Over time, the catalysts used even in today's state-of-the-art fuels cells break down, inhibiting the chemical reaction that converts fuel into electricity. In addition, current technology relies on small particles coated with the catalyst; however, the particles' limited surface area means only a fraction of the catalyst is ...

They say their technique could possibly be used on other mammals -- including humans -- because fertility hormones and their receptors are species-non-specific and are similar in both females and males.
