Cruise Amour Announces UK's Biggest Cruise Giveaway
2010-09-18
PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND, September 18, 2010 (Press-News.org) Cruise Amour, which brands itself as the Apple Mac of the cruise industry, is running a competition to win one of 50 free cruise holidays and over 200 cruise experiences, a prize fund believed to be the biggest ever offered by a cruise travel agency in the UK. The competition has been announced to coincide with the launch of company's brand new website.

Managing Director Tim Hurrell said: "We've invested heavily in building a website that puts the customer first, offering usability and feature enhancements never before seen in the cruise industry. We felt it fitting therefore, that the launch of possibly the UK's best cruise website should be marked with the UK's biggest and best Cruise Giveaway."

The new Cruise Amour website will be launched at the start of National Cruise Week aboard Celebrity Eclipse, the cruise ship that postponed its pre-inauguration celebrations in order to rescue 2,200 British nationals stranded in Spain by the ash crisis last April.

When asked what makes the new website so much better than other cruise agency sites, Hurrell responded: "Most other sites are slow, difficult to navigate, presume knowledge and are fundamentally unreliable. Our focus on usability and innovation has enabled us to build a site that, unlike its competitors, is packed full of relevant content, live booking data and is a joy to use."

One thing that is perhaps worth significant note, is the support Cruise Amour has received from its Cruise Line partners, especially Royal Caribbean International & Celebrity Cruises.

David Chidley, key account manager, Royal Caribbean International, said, "We have been working with Cruise Amour and when they shared their web development plans with us it was clear that, although ambitious, their new website would raise the bar for all on-line agencies. Given the clear parity between Cruise Amour's target customer base and the RCCL products we jumped at the chance to get involved and have never looked back. As the relationship has developed we're seen firsthand how passionately Cruise Amour care about their customer and learnt that when it comes to online, Cruise Amour are certainly ones to watch."

To enter the draw to win a cruise, customers can visit the Cruise Amour website and answer three simple questions correctly.

Direct-to-consumer genetic tests, privacy, targeted cancer therapies, and Henrietta Lacks are among topics in a special issue of the Hastings center Report Behind the high expectations raised by personalized medicine – the use of genetic information to individualize treatment, improve care, and possibly save money – a series of essays in the Hastings Center Report examines the challenges in determining what is effective; ...

Veterinarian says natural foods not always best for pets

2010-09-17
MANHATTAN, KAN. -- While natural food is a rising trend among humans, pet owners should be careful before feeding similar types of food to their pets, according to a Kansas State University veterinarian. All too often pet owners assume that because certain foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are healthy for them, they are also healthy for their pets, said Susan Nelson, K-State assistant professor of clinical services. "Natural and veggie-based pet foods are based more on market demand from owners, not because they are necessarily better for the pet," she said. Natural ...

Magical BEANs: New nano-sized particles could provide mega-sized data storage

Magical BEANs: New nano-sized particles could provide mega-sized data storage
2010-09-17
The ability of phase-change materials to readily and swiftly transition between different phases has made them valuable as a low-power source of non-volatile or "flash" memory and data storage. Now an entire new class of phase-change materials has been discovered by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California (UC) Berkeley that could be applied to phase change random access memory (PCM) technologies and possibly optical data storage as well. The new phase-change materials – nanocrystal alloys of a metal and ...

Do the math, say UCLA researchers

2010-09-17
In 2008, Reuben Granich and his colleagues at the World Health Organization published a paper in the medical journal The Lancet that proposed a new strategy for combating HIV in South Africa, a country staggered by the virus, with as much as 18 percent of the population estimated to be infected. Based on a mathematical model, the study suggested a "test-and-treat" strategy. This would involve, among other steps, testing the entire population of South Africa for HIV and immediately beginning anti-retroviral therapy for all who tested positive. The current standard of ...

UCLA physicists control chemical reactions mechanically

2010-09-17
UCLA physicists have taken a significant step in controlling chemical reactions mechanically, an important advance in nanotechnology, UCLA physics professor Giovanni Zocchi and colleagues report. Chemical reactions in the cell are catalyzed by enzymes, which are protein molecules that speed up reactions. Each protein catalyzes a specific reaction. In a chemical reaction, two molecules collide and exchange atoms; the enzyme is the third party, the "midwife to the reaction." But the molecules have to collide in a certain way for the reaction to occur. The enzyme binds ...
