LOS ANGELES, CA, April 14, 2011 (Press-News.org) Toygaroo.com, a pioneering online toy rental company, has announced that its services are now available for organizations in the hospitality industry.
The company's unique service, which operates similar to Netflix, can now be easily integrated into existing hotel guest offerings, allowing them to provide toys available for families upon check-in. Once the guests have completed their stay and returned the toys, the hotel can then send the toys back to Toygaroo.
"By working with us, hotels and resorts can improve their guest retention by offering activities for kids while families are on vacation," said Nikki Pope, Toygaroo spokesperson. "This allows for an affordable, family-oriented service that can be easily implemented by any business that provides lodging accommodations."
Toygaroo offers the largest selection of toys for rent in the world, and its services can be custom tailored to meet each individual hotel's specific requirements. Through the reservation process, hotel staff can now ask travelers if they would like to have toys and games available upon their arrival, without having to worry about the business purchasing and maintaining its own set of toys.
Toygaroo also has an exclusive "No Yuck Factor" sanitation process, which means that its toys are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized and arrive to clients cleaner than new.
"It can be very difficult for a family to haul around toys in their luggage, especially now with the extremely high baggage fees most airlines charge," Pope said. "Hotels can help ease this burden by providing a toy rental service for customers as part of the reservation process."
Toygaroo was also featured on the March 25 episode of ABC's "Shark Tank," where the company received angel investments from high-profile entrepreneurs Mark Cuban and Kevin O'Leary. For more information on the company, visit http://www.Toygaroo.com.

Should My Wedding Photographer Use Digital or Traditional Film?
2011-04-14
Among the many questions you need to ask prospective wedding photographers is whether they shoot weddings digitally or with traditional film. There are pros and cons for each type of photographic medium.
Denver wedding photography expert Matt Kelly of Ambisuite Weddings said, "When choosing between digital and film, ask yourself what you want your wedding photographs to capture. Then look at the digital and film photography each photographer has taken. You should be able to make your decision then."

Are your values right or left? The answer is more literal than you think
2011-04-14
Up equals good, happy, optimistic; down the opposite. Right is honest and trustworthy. Left, not so much. That's what language and culture tell us. "We use mental metaphors to structure our thinking about abstract things," says psychologist Daniel Casasanto, "One of those metaphors is space."
But we don't all think right is right, Casasanto has found. Rather, "people associate goodness with the side they can act more fluently on." Right-handed people prefer the product, job applicant, or extraterrestrial positioned to their right. Lefties march to a left-handed drummer. ...
UCSF study links inflammation in brain to some memory decline
2011-04-14
High levels of a protein associated with chronic, low-grade inflammation in the brain correlate with aspects of memory decline in otherwise cognitively normal older adults, according to a study led by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco.
The study is being reported in a poster session at the American Academy of Neurology annual meeting on Wednesday, April 13, 2011.
Inflammation is part of the body's natural immune response to tissue damage. However, chronic inflammation is associated with many diseases. In the brain, it is thought to play a role ...
Binary Options: Trading or Gambling?
2011-04-14
Ever since the devastating earthquake, tsunamis, and the subsequent nuclear crisis that have rocked Japan--not to mention the waves of discontent and revolution currently sweeping through the Middle East like a scirocco off the desert--speculation over the affects of these events upon global economics and trade has moved well beyond the strategic command centers of hedge funds and Forex exchanges to include the most volatile and potentially profitable trading platforms employed by today's active investors and traders.

Two kinds of Webb telescope mirrors arrive at NASA Goddard
2011-04-14
It takes two unique types of mirrors working together to see farther back in time and space than ever before, and engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have just received one of each type. Primary and Secondary Mirror Engineering Design Units (EDUs) have recently arrived at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. from Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in Redondo Beach, Calif. and are undergoing examination and testing. When used on the James Webb Space Telescope those two types of mirrors will allow scientists to make those observations.

Making temporary changes to brain could speed up learning, study reports
2011-04-14
In a breakthrough that may aid treatment of learning impairments, strokes, tinnitus and chronic pain, UT Dallas researchers have found that brain nerve stimulation accelerates learning in laboratory tests.
Another major finding of the study, published in the April 14 issue of Neuron, involves the positive changes detected after stimulation and learning were complete. Researchers monitoring brain activity in rats found that brain responses eventually returned to their pre-stimulation state, but the animals could still perform the learned task. These findings have allowed ...
