NEW YORK, NY, May 15, 2012 (Press-News.org) A recent CBS report has retailers gearing up for increased sales for this upcoming Mother's Day. Since 1908, Americans have come together every year on this springtime Sunday to honor mothers everywhere. Over one hundred years later, the public continues to show its appreciation of our creation and development without sparing any expense. Twigs Cafe, a quaint, local restaurant tucked away in the charming Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania is just one of the many businesses preparing to help consumers celebrate our treasured female figures.
The report quotes research conducted by the National Retail Federation and claims that approximately 18.6 billion dollars will be spent on Mother's Day this year. To break it down further: $1.6 billion on clothing and accessories, $1.8 billion on gift cards and $2.2 billion on flowers. Among these businesses, the restaurant industry is expected to gain a whopping $3.4 billion in Mother's Day sales as families take their special ladies out for a nice meal.
As many restaurants expect the usual increased Mother's Day crowds, many are wondering why it is so important to dine out on this holiday. Traditionally, we may expect to bring our mothers and wives breakfast in bed to honor their dedication. However, Lori Bogedin, owner of Twigs Cafe, explains the relief a restaurant can provide, "Moms in whatever form, take care and nurture us. That is why taking that special woman in your life out to dinner is so special, because it allows you to do something nice, while someone else does all the work!"
While it is important to get mothers out of the homes they've worked so hard to build, it is also essential to bring them to a venue where the experience will be enjoyable. Customers expect everything from the food to the service to be especially above-average this Mother's Day, and Twigs Cafe is making no compromises in those areas.
Many residents have frequented the restaurant to enjoy a mouthwatering collection of unique and traditional dishes along with incredibly helpful service. In addition, locals keep returning to Twigs Cafe to experience the "romantic decor" and "charming atmosphere" - a great option for those taking their wives out this Mother's Day.

New species of fish in Sweden
2012-05-15
Reticulated dragonet have been found in Väderöarna – "Weather Islands" – off the west coast of Sweden. It is not often that a new species of fish is discovered in Sweden.
Lars-Ove Loo is the underwater photographer who has captured the fish on film. He saw it while making an inventory ahead of the creation of a new nature reserve in the islands. This was in August 2010, 19 meters below the surface of the sea south of Lyngö in the southern Väderöarna (58° 32.554' N, 11° 05.373' E).
Reticulated dragonet (Callionymus reticulatus) is similar to its more common Swedish relatives ...
A microRNA prognostic marker identified in acute leukemia
2012-05-15
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A study has identified microRNA-3151 as a new independent prognostic marker in certain patients with acute leukemia. The study involves patients with acute myeloid leukemia and normal-looking chromosomes
(CN-AML).
The study by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) found that when microRNA-3151 (miR-3151) is overexpressed in CN-AML, the disease responds poorly to treatment and patients experience shorter remissions and survival periods. ...
Research: Too much, too little noise turns off consumers, creativity
2012-05-15
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The sound of silence isn't so golden for consumers, and both marketers and advertisers should take note, says new research from a University of Illinois expert in new product development and marketing.
According to published research from Ravi Mehta, a professor of business administration, ambient background noise turns out to be an important factor affecting creative cognition among consumers.
"We found that ambient noise is an important antecedent for creative cognition," Mehta said. "A moderate level of noise not only enhances creative problem-solving ...
Children's brain tumors more diverse than previously believed
2012-05-15
Paediatric brain tumours preserve specific characteristics of the normal cells from which they originate – a previously unknown circumstance with ramifications for how tumour cells respond to treatment. This has been shown by Uppsala researcher Fredrik Swartling together with colleagues in the U.S., Canada and England in a study that was published today in the distinguished journal Cancer Cell.
Every year, 80-90 children in Sweden are afflicted with brain tumours, a serious form of paediatric cancer. Today, three of four children who receive treatment survive.

Nearly one-tenth of hemisphere's mammals unlikely to outrun climate change
2012-05-15
A safe haven could be out of reach for 9 percent of the Western Hemisphere's mammals, and as much as 40 percent in certain regions, because the animals just won't move swiftly enough to outpace climate change.
For the past decade scientists have outlined new areas suitable for mammals likely to be displaced as climate change first makes their current habitat inhospitable, then unlivable. For the first time a new study considers whether mammals will actually be able to move to those new areas before they are overrun by climate change. Carrie Schloss, University of Washington ...
Scientists make breakthrough in bile duct cancer with discovery of new gene mutations
2012-05-15
Grand Rapids, Mich. (May 14, 2012) - A team of international scientists has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the cause of bile duct cancer, a deadly type of liver cancer. By identifying several new genes frequently mutated in bile duct cancers, researchers are paving the way for better understanding of how bile duct cancers develop. Their discovery is published online in Nature Genetics.
Bile Duct Cancer, or Cholangiocarcinoma, is a fatal cancer with a poor prognosis. Accounting for 10 to 25 per cent of all primary liver cancers worldwide, bile duct cancer ...
Great recession reflux amounts to more hunger among seniors
2012-05-15
URBANA – A new study that looked at the hunger trends over a 10-year period found that 14.85 percent of seniors in the United States, more than one in seven, face the threat of hunger. This translates into 8.3 million seniors.
"In 2005, we reported that one in nine seniors faced the threat of hunger," said Craig Gundersen, University of Illinois associate professor of agricultural and consumer economics and executive director of the National Soybean Research Laboratory who led the data analysis on the study. "So, unlike the population as a whole, food insecurity among ...
