LONDON, ENGLAND, April 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) Emirates Tours, a leading travel operator specialising in luxury holidays, has announced a new competition to win a travel bag made by designer luggage brand, Aspinal of London. The tour operator has teamed up with the luggage brand which shares its belief in high-quality products, in order to give back to its loyal customers through this unique opportunity.
"We are proud to be offering customers the chance to own an Aspinal of London Weekender Bag. When you are passionate about travel like we are, then arriving at your destination with stylish, top quality luggage makes your holiday even more special." said Beth Alcorn, Product and Marketing Manager, Emirates Tours.
Sharing a similar ethos to Emirates Tours, Aspinal of London strives to achieve the highest standards of quality in all of its products. Thus, though the two companies operate in different sectors of the travel industry, the promotion is a natural partnership.
The Aspinal of London bags offered in the competition feature a classic 18th Century aesthetic and are aimed at those who enjoy travelling in style. The handcrafted bags are comprised of full-grain Cognac English Bridle Leather and high-quality Navy canvas. For optimum protection, the base of each bag is made entirely of thick leather. They also feature a Swiss-made, pure brass zipper, as well as gold finish decorative rivets. The prize bag is called the 'Weekender', since it's the ideal size for a short two or three day break (13" height x 21.1" width x 8.5" depth). The bag also comes with a leather luggage tag, an interior zip pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap for additional convenience.
Competition entrants are simply required to sign up to receive emails on special luxury holiday deals from Emirates Tours while also recommending a friend to do the same. Entry is complete once the entrant's friend has also signed up to receive the offers. Winners of the competition will receive a Weekender travel bag for themselves and one for their recommended friend as well. There will be twelve pairs of winners, bringing the total number of bag-recipients to twenty four.
Those who want to win an Aspinal of London Weekender travel bag must be at least 18-years-old and the friend they recommend cannot have the same postal address.

Meat eating behind humans' spreading over the globe
2012-04-21
Carnivory is behind the evolutionary success of humankind. When early humans started to eat meat and eventually hunt, their new, higher-quality diet meant that women could wean their children earlier. Women could then give birth to more children during their reproductive life, which is a possible contribution to the population gradually spreading over the world.
The connection between eating meat and a faster weaning process is shown by a research group from Lund University in Sweden, which compared close to 70 mammalian species and found clear patterns.

Single-neuron observations mark steps in Alzheimer's disease
2012-04-21
Studying a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, neuroscientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen have observed correlations between increases in both soluble and plaque-forming beta-amyloid – a protein implicated in the disease process – and dysfunctional developments on several levels: individual cortical neurons, neuronal circuits, sensory cognition, and behavior. Their results, published in Nature Communications, show that these changes progress in parallel and that, together, they reveal distinct stages in Alzheimer's disease with a specific order in time.

Regenstrief and IU conduct first study of screening for cognitive impairment in hospitals
2012-04-21
INDIANAPOLIS — Neither screening for cognitive impairment nor screening followed by computerized alerts to the health care team improved patient outcome according to the first randomized, controlled study of care provided to hospitalized patients with cognitive impairment.
The study, conducted by researchers from the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Medicine, screened 998 older adults for cognitive impairment within 48 hours of admission to the hospital. Approximately 40 percent were found to have cognitive impairment and were enrolled in the study. ...
Scientists find Achilles' heel in life-threatening malaria parasites
2012-04-21
Scientists have identified a link between different strains of malaria parasites that cause severe disease, which could help develop vaccines or drugs against life-threatening cases of the infection.
Researchers have identified a key protein that is common to many potentially fatal forms of the condition, and found that antibodies that targeted this protein were effective against these severe malaria strains.
The protein has sticky properties that enable it to bind to red blood cells and form dangerous clumps that can block blood vessels. These clumps, or rosettes, ...
Freeing loggerhead turtles comes at a price
2012-04-21
When loggerhead turtles are accidentally captured by humans, a recovery process follows, the complexity of which varies according to the turtle's injuries. Spanish researchers have analysed the process of reintegrating these animals into the environment and they have discovered that there are changes in the behaviour of the turtles that have a complicated recovery process.
The study, which has been published in Aquatic Conservation-Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, involved placing satellite transmitters on the shell of 12 healthy, wild loggerhead turtles' (Caretta caretta), ...

Low-cost optical components through nanoimprinting lithography
2012-04-21
The development of new applications based on nanoimprinting techniques (NIL) is evolving at a rapid pace. But what are the challenges to be overcome in order to reach the market? How do we bridge the gap between basic research and its uptake from the industry? What are the tools needed for each product?
The European project NAPANIL deals exactly with this topic, i.e. Nanopatterning, Production and Applications based on Nanoimprinting Lithography. The project, now reaching its end, presented its final results over the last few days at Photonics Europe. The event took ...
Your left side is your best side
2012-04-21
Your best side may be your left cheek, according to a new study by Kelsey Blackburn and James Schirillo from Wake Forest University in the US. Their work shows that images of the left side of the face are perceived and rated as more pleasant than pictures of the right side of the face, possibly due to the fact that we present a greater intensity of emotion on the left side of our face. Their work is published online in Springer's journal Experimental Brain Research.
Others can judge human emotions in large part from facial expressions. Our highly specialized facial muscles ...
New genes contributing to autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders uncovered
2012-04-21
BOSTON, MA—When chromosomes replicate, sometimes there is an exchange of genetic material within a chromosome or between two or more chromosomes without a significant loss of genetic material. This exchange, known as a balanced chromosomal abnormality (BCA), can cause rearrangements in the genetic code.
Researchers from 15 institutions in three countries including Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH), Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute found that due to these rearrangements, BCAs harbor a reservoir of disruptions in the code ...
Early treatment improves outcomes in rare, often undiagnosed form of encephalitis
2012-04-21
NEW ORLEANS – A mysterious, difficult-to-diagnose, and potentially deadly disease that was only recently discovered can be controlled most effectively if treatment is started within the first month that symptoms occur, according to a new report by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. The researchers analyzed 565 cases of this recently discovered paraneoplastic condition, called Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis, and determined that if initial treatments fail, second-line therapy significantly improves outcomes compared with repeating ...
