LEEDS, ENGLAND, January 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) A 'LIVE' online marketplace allowing permitted skip suppliers to 'bid' to win business is launching this month, giving skip hire companies free unlimited access to millions of potential customers providing them with a new channel to help streamline their sales and marketing.

SkipTrips aims to drive business to skip companies and connect them with customers who have a defined need for waste management. According to SkipTrips, it is a safe and reliable platform allowing waste managers and customers to interact and negotiate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Skip companies can register for free and create a full business profile on http://www.skiptrips.com, differentiating themselves from competitors, listing environmental credentials, licence details, location, size, special services and user feedback to help win over potential customers and allow them to make an informed decision about whom to work with.

SkipTrips users, made up of both domestic and large-scale customers, list their skip hire requirements on the site and registered skip companies in the area are notified immediately.

Customers detail requirements such as skip size and numbers, types of waste, dates and location and waste managers then submit live quotes online. The customer can view a detailed business profile alongside the quote and simply pick the deal that suits them best; whatever their needs or priorities.

SkipTrips is based on years of experience, and offers a national online marketplace for registered skip providers to showcase their business to potential customers.

Almost perfect: A breakthrough in superlens development

2012-01-09

A superlens would let you see a virus in a drop of blood and open the door to better and cheaper electronics. It might, says Durdu Guney, make ultra-high-resolution microscopes as commonplace as cameras in our cell phones. No one has yet made a superlens, also known as a perfect lens, though people are trying. Optical lenses are limited by the nature of light, the so-called diffraction limit, so even the best won't usually let us see objects smaller than 200 nanometers across, about the size of the smallest bacterium. Scanning electron microscopes can capture objects ...

Fit females make more daughters, mighty males get grandsons

2012-01-09

Females influence the gender of their offspring so they inherit either their mother's or grandfather's qualities. 'High-quality' females – those which produce more offspring – are more likely to have daughters. Weaker females, whose own fathers were stronger and more successful, produce more sons. The study, by scientists at the University of Exeter (UK), Okayama University and Kyushu University (Japan), is published today (9 January) in the journal Ecology Letters. It shows for the first time that females are able to manipulate the sex of their offspring to compensate ...
