2011-06-22
BOLTON, ENGLAND, June 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) UK courier service Yodel is to launch a new range of services through online parcel delivery specialist Parcel2Go.

Established in 2010, Yodel's aim is to do things differently and change the way people send parcels forever. The company first began offering its Standard delivery service through Parcel2Go earlier this year and its approach has been winning plenty of fans.

Yodel's Standard service offers delivery to most addresses on the UK mainland within one to two working days. To make things as simple as possible for the customer, collections can be made from any address between 9am and 5.30pm, and because Yodel's Standard delivery service is priced from only GBP8.99 plus VAT it represents an affordable option for businesses and individuals alike.

Rochard Mercer, Marketing Director at Parcel2Go, said: "Demand for Yodel's Standard service has been impressive. The feedback we have received from customers is that it fits their delivery needs and their budgets, and above all can be relied upon.

"In fact, the initial offering from Yodel has been so successful that discussions are now ongoing to introduce a range of new domestic and international parcel delivery services through the Parcel2Go website. We're sure that these new delivery options will cater to a wider range of our customers and prove to be just as popular."

Security is a major concern for everyone sending a parcel, and so like many other services available through Parcel2Go, anyone using a Yodel Standard service is able to use Yodel tracking to monitor the progress of their package through the website. And to ensure its customers have complete peace of mind, Yodel offers free GBP50 compensation cover for loss and damage. Additional cover up to GBP2,500 is also available.

Richard said: "We're really excited about the new Yodel services that are now in the planning stage, and we know our business and home customers will be too. We'll be releasing more details as soon as these new delivery options hit the site."

Parcel2Go Ltd has been offering its customers a comprehensive range of UK delivery services and international shipping options through companies such as Parcelforce for the past 21 years.

High Technology: Automatic Collision Notification in Miami

2011-06-22
The Golden Hour is the first hour after a car accident, according to Bill Howard of ExtremeTech. It's called the Golden Hour because if you bring a car wreck victim to the hospital within an hour after the crash, his or her "odds of survival and recovery are highest." Since 2001, BMW has been working with the William Lehman Injury Research Center at the University of Miami to improve what's known as automatic collision notification. This technology promises to do just that: alert first-responders and trauma centers where it hurts and how bad, so that health ...

New research on community gardening reveals the roots of emotional and physical health

2011-06-22
AURORA, Colo (June 20, 2011) Did you ever make mud pies as a kid? Remember how good it felt to get your hands in the dirt, to run through the sprinkler, and get pollen from a sweet-smelling flower on your nose? Most kids who grow up in cities today never have this experience. But the latest research is about to change all that. Jill Litt, PhD, author and associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Public Health and University of Colorado Boulder has been studying neighborhoods and health over the past decade. Litt 's research has shown that places ...

New York Civil Rights Violation Lawyer Investigates Racial Discrimination Complaint Against 'Real Housewives' Spa Owner

2011-06-22
Very few people receive more scrutiny than a celebrity. "Real Housewives of New York City" cast member Cindy Barshop, owner of "Completely Bare" spas, was accused of racial discrimination. According to the New York Post, the former employee, the only black beautician at the store, claimed she was bullied and fired because she is black. "Although racial discrimination is difficult to prove, the fact that none of Barshop's other employees are black will be used against her," said New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman. ...

Fighting massive declines in frog populations with bacteria and fungicides

Fighting massive declines in frog populations with bacteria and fungicides
2011-06-22
This release is available in German. A microscopic chytrid fungus is causing massive declines in frog populations all over the world and even the extinction of certain species. Together with colleagues from Europe and the USA, researchers from the University of Zurich present methods as to how the chytrid fungus can be combated in the journal Frontiers in Zoology: namely with bacteria and fungicides. However, the possibility of vaccinating the frogs is also being considered. New pathogens are not just a growing problem for humans and livestock, but also wild animals. ...

Serology studies could inform pandemic flu plans

2011-06-22
In this week's PLoS Medicine, Steven Riley, from Imperial College London, and colleagues analyze a community cohort study from the 2009 (H1N1) influenza pandemic in Hong Kong, finding that more children than adults were infected with H1N1, but children were less likely to progress to severe disease than adults. The authors recommend that revised pandemic preparedness plans should include prospective serological cohort studies, such as this one, in order to be able to estimate rates of severe disease per infection.

Scale and health implications of human trafficking deserve more attention

2011-06-22
Despite a high level of global awareness of trafficking in persons, not enough is known about the scale and health implications of trafficking, according to a new editorial published in this week's PLoS Medicine. The editorial accompanies a six-part series on Migration and Health (http://www.ploscollections.org/article/browseIssue.action?issue=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fissue.pcol.v07.i14), published by PLoS Medicine in May and June 2011. The editors argue that even compiling an international picture of the numbers affected by trafficking is challenging, with statistical ...

Returnee migrants face cumulative health risks

2011-06-22
In the final article in a six-part PLoS Medicine series on migration & health, Anita Davies and colleagues from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) discuss the specific health risks and policy needs associated with return migration. As global migration increases generally, so too does return to home countries, where the health of returnees is impacted by the cumulative exposure to social determinants and risk factors of health during the migration process, during the return movement, and following return. The authors say that "to maintain and improve the ...

Surprises from the ocean: Marine plankton and ocean pH

2011-06-22
The world's oceans support vast populations of single-celled organisms (phytoplankton) that are responsible, through photosynthesis, for removing about half of the carbon dioxide that is produced by burning fossil fuels – as much as the rainforests and all other terrestrial systems combined. One group of phytoplankton, known as the coccolithophores, are known for their remarkable ability to build chalk (calcium carbonate) scales inside their cells, which are secreted to form a protective armour on the cell surface. On a global scale this calcification process accounts ...

Intensive-dose statin therapy associated with increased risk of diabetes

2011-06-22
An analysis of data from previously published studies indicates that intensive-dose statin therapy is associated with an increased risk of new-onset diabetes compared with moderate-dose therapy, according to a study in the June 22/29 issue of JAMA. Compared with placebo, statin therapy significantly reduces cardiovascular events among individuals with and without a history of diabetes mellitus. Recently, findings of several trials comparing intensive- to moderate-dose statin therapy suggested an excess risk of new diabetes among those treated with intensive statin regimens, ...
