ATLANTA, GA, December 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) Atlanta tree services company Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is happy to share some tips on how to choose a Christmas tree and keep it healthy during the holiday season.
"If you haven't bought your tree yet, there is no need to be concerned," assures Gary Robertson, owner of Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts. "Many lots will still have a good selection of trees available, and the shorter amount of time left before the holidays means that less effort will be required to keep the tree in good condition before the big day."
When choosing a tree, it is important to look for a tree that is as fresh as possible. You can test this by shaking the tree and observing how many needles fall off. The more needles that fall off, the less fresh the tree. The trunk will also need to be cut fresh in order for the tree to be able to absorb enough water. You should be able to have the trunk re-cut at the lot where you purchase the tree.
Once you bring the tree home, you should put it in water immediately. Make sure that the water level does not get too low, as the tree may otherwise begin to dry out. It is also important to remember that evergreen trees thrive in cooler temperatures, so you should keep your tree away from direct heat sources such as fireplaces and air vents. Larger bulb string lights can also generate heat, so LED lights are a better choice. Another way to keep the tree looking fresh and green for longer is to spray it with an anti-desiccant, which will prevent the foliage from drying out too quickly.
These tips will help you keep your Christmas tree looking good inside your home; when it comes to your outdoor trees, Yellow Ribbon Tree Experts is the source to call for any of your Atlanta tree services needs, including Atlanta tree removal and pruning.

Breast cancer and heart disease may have common roots
2011-12-21
TORONTO, ON., Dec. 20, 2011—Women who are at risk for breast cancer may also be at greater risk for heart disease, new research has found.
The majority of women with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer have a mutated form of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, which normally suppress the growth of breast and ovarian tumours.
Dr. Subodh Verma, a cardiac surgeon at St. Michael's Hospital, said his research team was surprised to discover the genes also regulate heart function.
Following a heart attack, mice with the mutated BRCA1 gene had a three-to-five times higher rate of ...
Mediterranean diet gives longer life
2011-12-21
A Mediterranean diet with large amounts of vegetables and fish gives a longer life. This is the unanimous result of four studies to be published by the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg. Research studies ever since the 1950s have shown that a Mediterranean diet, based on a high consumption of fish and vegetables and a low consumption of animal-based products such as meat and milk, leads to better health.
Study on older people
Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy have now studied the effects of a Mediterranean diet on older people in Sweden. They have ...

Removal of lymph nodes during surgery for thyroid cancer may be beneficial
2011-12-21
Papillary thyroid cancer accounts for the majority of all thyroid malignancies, which primarily impact women. A new study indicates that routinely removing lymph nodes in the neck in these cancer patients may help prevent the disease from coming back.
When thyroid cancer metastasizes, lymph nodes in the neck may be affected, but these lymph-node tumors can be tiny and may not be detected by ultrasounds done before surgery to remove the diseased thyroid — or even during the procedure itself.
In an international academic study published in the December issue of ...
A single cell endoscope
2011-12-21
An endoscope that can provide high-resolution optical images of the interior of a single living cell, or precisely deliver genes, proteins, therapeutic drugs or other cargo without injuring or damaging the cell, has been developed by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). This highly versatile and mechanically robust nanowire-based optical probe can also be applied to biosensing and single-cell electrophysiology.
A team of researchers from Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) Berkeley ...
New App Released on iTunes to Meet Demand for On-the-Go Sleep Help
2011-12-21
The deep thinkers at Health Journeys Inc. are counting on their first iTunes app, Sleep Help, to be a real yawner. Literally. Insomnia is a common condition that affects millions of Americans each year. Being sleep-deprived or sleep-impaired can lead to irritability, sub-par functioning, muddy thinking, poor judgment, inefficient use of time, dangerous driving, failing relationships and decreased enjoyment of life.
"A question we get asked a lot about our self-help CD programs is: Is there an app for that?," says Cindy Stalnaker, President of Health ...

New tool offers unprecedented access for root studies
2011-12-21
Stanford, CA— Plant roots are fascinating plant organs – they not only anchor the plant, but are also the world's most efficient mining companies. Roots live in darkness and direct the activities of the other organs, as well as interact with the surrounding environment. Charles Darwin posited in The Power of Movement of Plants that the root system acts as a plant's brain.
Due to the difficulty of accessing root tissue in intact live plants, research of these hidden parts has always lagged behind research on the more visible parts of plants. But now: a new technology--developed ...
Better turbine simulation software to yield better engines
2011-12-21
For most of us, the word "turbomachinery" may conjure up images of superheroes or fast exotic cars, but in reality most people leverage turbomachinery to get things done nearly every day.
Turbomachinery – pumps, fans, compressors, turbines and other machines that transfer energy between a rotor and a fluid – is especially instrumental in power generation in the aeronautic, automotive, marine, space and industrial sectors. For engine designers to achieve the most efficient propulsion and power systems, they must understand the physics of very complex air-flow fields produced ...
Aquatic therapy soon after total knee arthroplasty improves outcomes
2011-12-21
Philadelphia, PA – Despite increased use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a notable lack of consensus about optimal postoperative treatment. Aquatic therapy has been shown to have a beneficial effect, and it is typically begun two weeks after surgery, after the wound has healed. According to a new study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, beginning aquatic therapy just 6 days after TKA may lead to improved results, while delaying its onset an additional week may be more appropriate after a THA. ...
