One of the key factors that most companies consider when doing business with foreign enterprises is the potential costs of resolving international commercial disputes. In most cases, that means looking at the comparative advantages of arbitration as opposed to business litigation in U.S. or foreign courts.

"Look Twice, Save a Life." That cautious statement is the motto of the Concerned Bikers' Association, a motorcycle safety ...

Those Who Save Us appears at first glance to be a book about the Holocaust, and, without doubt, the Holocaust and its brutality provides the setting for half the book - the half that is set during World War II. But this book goes far beyond that, examining the guilt and shame of those who survived and how they continue to be affected by the horrors, even many decades later. The novel alternates between the story of Anna, a young girl at the outbreak of the war, now in her late 70s and living in Minnesota, and that of Anna's daughter Trudy who moved to America as a small ...

Modern lifestyles are generally quite different from those of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, a fact that some claim as the cause of the current rise in global obesity, but new results published July 25 in the open access journal PLoS ONE find that there is no difference between the energy expenditure of modern hunter-gatherers and Westerners, casting doubt on this theory. The research team behind the study, led by Herman Pontzer of Hunter College in New York City, along with David Raichlen of the University of Arizona and Brian M. Wood of Stanford measured daily energy ...

For monarch butterflies, redder wings are correlated with better flight performance, according to research published July 25 in the open access journal PLoS ONE. Previous work has shown that monarch coloring is intended to warn their predators about their bitter taste and toxicity, and that migratory butterflies are darker colored than non-migratory ones, suggesting an association between darker color and increased fitness. The current work, led by Andrew Davis of the University of Georgia, provides further evidence for this association. The researchers tested 121 captive ...

In the current study, led by Nicola Clayton of the University of Cambridge, researchers used a version of the riddle commonly referred to as "Aesop's fable" to test associative learning and problem-solving ability. In previous work, the ...
