Tesco Reveals Lowest Priced School Uniform

Tesco has unveiled its lowest priced school uniform.

2011-06-22

HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, June 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Tesco is already gearing up for back to school in September, even though the summer tern has only just started, by unveiling its one-price-fits-all school uniform.

Despite rising cotton prices, Tesco has managed to offer customers a low-price school uniform option from the Tesco Value range. The flat price applies to all sizes (3-16 years) so regardless of a child's age parents can expect to pay the same price giving families on the tightest budgets great value.

Jan Marchant, Tesco Clothing buying director said: "Parents like different price options for Back to School and our Value range offers them a fantastic quality product, fully covered by our ethical trading programme, at an unbeatable price. We are pleased to offer our customers a whole school uniform at the lowest possible price, and certainly the most competitive price on the high street."

Tesco's Value Back to school uniform, along with Tesco's Core and Premium F&F Signature uniform ranges, have been rigorously tested for wear and tear to British and European Testing Standards.

This year Tesco has over 80 pieces of Back to School uniform, across its Value, Core, Signature and Fairtrade range as well as more features and benefits than ever before, with superior quality.

The Tesco Back to School range is available all year round with new styles in store in June. A wide range that includes shirts, pique polo shirts, school trousers, school shoes, skirts and pinafores is available in 500 stores and online at Tesco's website. Essential Back to School items such as shirts, polo shirts, socks and briefs will be available during the summer in 600 stores across the country, including Metro stores. The Value uniform will be available in 200 stores and online.

About Tesco:
Tesco is able to offer its GBP4.50 uniform to customers based on strong relationships with its suppliers built over a long period of time, and also due to the volumes it buys in. Purchasing high volumes from suppliers means Tesco can work together with its manufacturers to pass on fantastic cost savings to customers.

Tesco is a founder member of the Ethical Trading Initiative and continues to support efforts to improve workers' conditions in all the countries and factories its buys from. Tesco has created a green guide showing factories how they can cut their energy use (and bills).

Tesco offers clothing banks in selected stores to encourage parents to recycle old school uniforms. Old school uniforms collected in the clothing banks are donated to several charities and the money raised will then be used to support good causes.

Tesco's successful Buy One, Give One school uniform donation scheme is about to launch in stores and online for the third year. For every skirt, trouser or two pack of Fairtrade cotton polo shirts bought from our 'You Buy One, We Give One' range this summer, Tesco will donate a complete uniform to a child in Kenya, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

A wise man's treatment for arthritis -- frankincense?

2011-06-22

The answer to treating painful arthritis could lie in an age old herbal remedy - frankincense, according to Cardiff University scientists. Cardiff scientists have been examining the potential benefits of frankincense to help relieve and alleviate the symptoms of the condition. "The search for new ways of relieving the symptoms of inflammatory arthritis and osteoarthritis is a long and difficult one," according to Dr Emma Blain, who leads the research with her co-investigators Professor Vic Duance from Cardiff University's School of Biosciences and Dr Ahmed Ali ...

Can humans sense the Earth's magnetism?

2011-06-22

WORCESTER, Mass. – For migratory birds and sea turtles, the ability to sense the Earth's magnetic field is crucial to navigating the long-distance voyages these animals undertake during migration. Humans, however, are widely assumed not to have an innate magnetic sense. Research published in Nature Communications this week by faculty at the University of Massachusetts Medical School shows that a protein expressed in the human retina can sense magnetic fields when implanted into Drosophila, reopening an area of sensory biology in humans for further exploration. In many ...

What do we pay attention to?

2011-06-22

Once we learn the relationship between a cue and its consequences—say, the sound of a bell and the appearance of the white ice cream truck bearing our favorite chocolate cone—do we turn our attention to that bell whenever we hear it? Or do we tuck the information away and marshal our resources to learning other, novel cues—a recorded jingle, or a blue truck? Psychologists observing "attentional allocation" now agree that the answer is both, and they have arrived at two principles to describe the phenomena. The "predictive" principle says we search for meaningful—important—cues ...

Smaller companies hit hardest during emerging market crises

2011-06-22

A study of the reaction by the United States stock market to international financial crises shows that small companies are often hit hardest, and the impact is above and beyond what would be expected given their exposure to global market factors. This unexpected result suggests the significant impact that investors' actions can have during emerging market crises. During these crises, investors flee to the perceived safety of big companies and shed stocks of smaller companies, despite comparable levels of international exposure during normal periods. "The take-away is, ...

New Release of GNCutter32 Boosts Multi-Size Stock-Cutting Effectiveness

2011-06-22

Optimalon Software has released version 4.0 of their GNCutter32 stock-cutting optimization library for software developers. The calculation algorithm of cutting plan generation for multi-size stock cutting has been significantly re-designed. A completely new cutting layout minimization algorithm has been developed and successfully implemented in the new version. Finding the optimal stock-cutting plan is a hard optimization problem that arises in woodworking, glass and metal industries on a regular basis. The problem gets even harder when several sizes of the stocks are ...

Scientists rise to the challenge of identifying and comparing yeast genomes

2011-06-22

Bethesda, MD -- If you think yeast is most useful for beer and pizza crust, here's something else to chew on: a team of U.S. researchers has identified and compared the genetic codes for all known species of yeasts closely related to bakers' and brewers' yeast. This information, published in the Genetics Society of America's new open-access journal, G3: Genes | Genomes | Genetics (http://www.g3journal.org), lays the foundation for future understanding of mutation and disease, as studies of yeasts often identify key genes and mechanisms of disease. "We hope to learn to ...

Lyme disease tick adapts to life on the (fragmented) prairie

2011-06-22

CHAMPAIGN, lll. — A new study offers a detailed look at the status of Lyme disease in Central Illinois and suggests that deer ticks and the Lyme disease bacteria they host are more adaptable to new habitats than previously appreciated. Led by researchers at the University of Illinois, the study gives an up-close view of one region affected by the steady march of deer ticks across the upper Midwest. Their advance began in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and is moving at a pace of up to two counties a year in Illinois and Indiana. Today the deer tick is established in 26 Illinois ...

Aces High, the Combat Simulator Sensation, Introduces New Version

2011-06-22

Since 2000, Aces High has been the leader of the pack in flight simulation games. One reason is that HiTech Creations does not believe in standing pat with what they have created. Over the years more than 37 different versions of this wildly popular World War 2 flight simulator game have been introduced and this new version is far and away the best. While other companies tinker around with four or five different games, in effect watering down the attention given to any one game, HiTech Creations founder Dale Addink has always believed that the concentration of talent ...

UC Riverside neuroscientists' discovery could bring relief to epilepsy sufferers

2011-06-22

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have made a discovery in the lab that could help drug manufacturers develop new antiepileptic drugs and explore novel strategies for treating seizures associated with epilepsy – a disease affecting about two million Americans. Neurons, the basic building blocks of the nervous system, are cells that transmit information by electrical and chemical signaling. During epileptic seizures, which generally last from a few seconds to minutes and terminate spontaneously, the concentrations of ions both ...
