Burton Announces Winner of Double Denim Competition

Burton has announced the champion of its "Double Denim" style competition, which offered fans the chance to win a GBP300 gift card.

2013-03-28

LONDON, ENGLAND, March 28, 2013 (Press-News.org) Proud father Tom Humble has scooped the top prize in a fashion competition run by Burton, thanks to the double-denim style of his young son.

The menswear brand has been running a double denim campaign to celebrate the best, and worst, of this season's hottest style trend. At the heart of the campaign was the #DDD competition which offered entrants the chance to pick up a GBP300 gift card.

Participants uploaded photographs of themselves wearing their favourite double denim outfits via Facebook by 4th March. Burton fans then chose the winner by voting for their favourite picture - and it was Tom's son who picked up the most votes.

When he found out he'd won Tom said: "I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who voted. The picture was of my son, his name is Henry. He is now 11 months old and I'm glad people think he's as cute as I do.

"Me and my fiance are planning on getting married next year and I'll be using the GBP300 gift card to buy myself a nice suit for the wedding. Great competition from a great menswear retailer ... my condolences to the others who came so close to winning. You were up against stiff competition."

Denim has been a fashion staple since it was first popularised by Jacob Davies and Levi Strauss in 1873. The material is set to be one of the hottest trends over spring and summer 2013, and has been popular on catwalks in the build-up to the forthcoming season.

Researchers find a way to predict the date of a woman's final menstrual period

2013-03-27

A new UCLA-led study suggests a way to predict when a woman will have her final menstrual period. The findings, published in the April issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, could help women and physicians gauge the onset of menopause-related bone loss, which generally begins a year prior to the last period. The researchers used women's ages, menstrual bleeding patterns and measurements of hormone levels to estimate the amount of time until they were likely to reach menopause, said the study's lead author, Dr. Gail Greendale, professor ...

Researchers discover sex-selection process of multi-sexed organism Tetrahymena

2013-03-27

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– It's been more than 50 years since scientists discovered that the single-celled organism Tetrahymena thermophila has seven sexes. But in all that time, they've never known how each cell's sex, or "mating type," is determined. Now they do. By identifying Tetrahymena's long-unknown mating-type genes, a team of UC Santa Barbara biologists, with research colleagues at the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and at the J. Craig Venter Institute, also uncovered the unusual process of DNA rearrangements required for sex ...
