Zalando are changing this, and they are perhaps hammering the final nail in the high street coffin. Part of the reason for Zalando's success is their willingness to make available a number of discount codes to encourage ...

The support of 4G/LTE connectivity came as a pleasant surprise when Apple released its iPhone 5 in September 2012. However, once the phone was shipped to Denmark, Danish users where unable to use the 4G/LTE features with the current Danish 4G/LTE Network, due to the need of a software update.

Parenthood available to many According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, the minimum age for becoming an adoptive parent is 18.

You are preparing to go to court with your attorney. What should you wear? How should you address the judge? Should you bring your children to court? It surprises some of our clients to learn that the answers to these questions are important, as their behavior in court can affect their family law cases. "Isn't the justice system impartial?" they ask. As long as there are humans on the bench and decisions to make that can affect lives, there will be some partiality. For example, if a judge must determine child custody/conservatorship, he or she will need ...

Each year law enforcement and public safety officials in states like North Carolina encourage safe driving practices through enforcement efforts and public safety campaigns to reduce the occurrence of serious car accidents. Despite the efforts to reduce the risk of serious injury and death from traffic accidents, crashes still occur. Recently, the National Transportation Safety Board launched an effort to prevent one type of crash linked to significant injury: wrong-way crashes. Statistics on wrong-way accidents According to the NTSB, an average of 360 people are ...

The Colorado Industrial Claim Appeals Panel recently reviewed a worker's compensation case in which it had to decide whether an employee injured while at work was entitled to workers' comp benefits. This case raises an interesting question: when is an on-the-job injury not covered under Colorado's workers' compensation law? "Workplace injury" To be compensable under Colorado workers' compensation law, an injury sustained while at work must be a "workplace injury." A "workplace injury" is one that occurs both in the course of employment ...

You may have noticed that roads in Cincinnati, Hamilton County and northern Kentucky have become more congested over the last year and this is likely to be due to the fact that the economy is showing signs of improvement. Jobs are slowly opening up, lay-offs are dropping, and people's confidence is improving, encouraging them to take trips and enjoy life a little more. However, as the roads become busier, the risk of being involved in a serious car accident rises. This is not unexpected according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Preliminary estimates ...

Each state has the authority to write and enforce its own criminal laws; however, this does not mean that the Federal government cannot make recommendations and push states to make changes. In May, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that states should lower the legal blood-alcohol limit from .08 to .05. A change in Massachusetts DUI/OUI law would require state action and the issue is not currently on the Massachusetts legislature's agenda. State senators and local law enforcement have stated that the idea needs further review. Any change will take time, ...

Michael Douglas' media-grabbing comments blaming his throat cancer on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) contracted during oral sex brought some much-needed attention to the epidemic of HPV infection in the United States. Men's Health Network (MHN) hopes that Douglas' statements will also get parents, healthcare practitioners, and legislators to recommend that boys and young men get the HPV vaccine. Although the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approved the HPV vaccine for males, the vast majority of them have not been vaccinated--and that leaves them and those they ...

This initiative was developed due to the fact that the country only recycles a fraction of its waste. According to the Avina Foundation, a Latin American ...

The development of a standardized killer-whale necropsy system has boosted the complete data from killer-whale strandings from 2 percent to about 33 percent, according to a recent study from a team of scientists, including a University of California, Davis wildlife veterinarian. The study, published recently in the journal Marine Mammal Science, suggests that the data can help scientists better understand the life history of the orca species. The killer-whale necropsy system was co-developed by Joe Gaydos, director of the SeaDoc Society -- a program of the UC Davis ...

Scientists at USC have unlocked the mystery of why new cases of the genetic disease Noonan Syndrome are so common: a mutation that causes the disease disproportionately increases a normal father's production of sperm carrying the disease trait. When this Noonan syndrome mutation arises in a normal sperm stem cell it makes that cell more likely to reproduce itself than stem cells lacking the mutation. The father then is more likely to have an affected child because more mutant stem cells result in more mutant sperm. The longer the man waits to have children the greater ...

Researchers from the Seoul National University found that wild birds appear to "think faster" when humans, and possibly predators in general, are directly looking at them. "We started this study from our experience" says Dr. Sang-im Lee, the leader of magpie research team and the first author of the paper. "For a long time we had this impression that somehow magpies know that we are watching them because they often fly away from us when we observe them. But when we don't observe them, we can pass them pretty close-by but they don't fly away!" The finding that animals ...

Ever been to a whispering gallery—a quiet, circular space underneath an old cathedral dome that captures and amplifies sounds as quiet as a whisper? Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are applying similar principles in the development optomechanical sensors that will help unlock vibrational secrets of chemical and biological samples at the nanoscale. "Optomechanics is an area of research in which extremely minute forces exerted by light (for example: radiation pressure, gradient force, electrostriction) are used to generate and control high-frequency ...

Fort Lauderdale, Fla., June 7, 2013 - Three out of 20 flexible gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopes used for screening were found to harbor unacceptable levels of "bio dirt" – cells and matter from a patient's body that could pose potential infection risk -- according to a study of endoscopes used at five hospitals across the U.S. In an abstract to be presented at the 40th Annual Conference of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), researchers in the 3M Infection Prevention Division analyzed 275 flexible duodenoscopes, gastroscopes, ...
