    ANIMAL-TO-HUMAN HEART TRANSPLANT
    January 23, 1964 - University of Mississippi, U.S.A.

    The first animal to human heart transplant was made. Dr. James Hardy at the University of Mississippi transplanted the heart of a chimpanzee (named Bino) into the chest of Boyd Rush (age 68) in a last-ditch effort to save the man's life because no human was heart available. The newly-transplanted heart beat on its own; but it was too small to maintain independent circulation and Rush died after 90 minutes. Hardy had to endure some severe criticism. (This was three years before Christiaan Barnard performed the first successful human heart transplant). Hardy also made the first human lung transplant in 1963 and a double-lung transplant that left the heart in place in 1987.

    FIRST EXTINCT-ANIMAL CLONE
    January 23, 2009 - Aragon, Spain

    The birth and 7-minute life of the first extinct-animal clone was described in the journal Theriogenology. A clone of the Pyranean ibex, or bucardo, was created using DNA from frozen skin samples taken in 1999 from the last individual before it died (6 Jan 2000). The mother was a closely-related subspecies of the Spanish ibex. The surrogate goat was implanted with an egg into which the bucardo's DNA had been inserted to replace the original genetic material. The research effort was the work of a team of scientists at the Center for Agro-Nutrition Research and Technology in Aragon, Spain. The team had implanted 208 embryos in different goats, of which seven became pregnant. Of those, just one resulted in a live birth, a clone that died within 7 minutes of respiratory failure due to lung defects. The bucardo thus went extinct a second time.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable. More vehicles
    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Selling online has a number of advantages over conventional methods. By selling online you can reach shoppers worldwide, compete with larger stores by being able to open 24/7/365, attract customers who would not usually visit your type of high street outlet. All these can up your sales. However, the increase in online sales also includes luring more visitors to your site and converting them into actual buyers. Driving traffic to your site can be achieved by applying various website forwarding solutions. But once you get a visitor on your website, your storefront is the only tool to trap and encourage a customer to buy your products.

What should be done to forward an online store and improve sales?

1. Comprehensive merchandise description
The description of a product should highlight its core features and benefits, including the quality. Moreover, you can use customer testimonials and merchandise reviews to add an impartial viewpoint.

2. Cross-selling
Use the cross-selling strategy to promote complimentary goods on your website. Improve online sales by giving prominence to all complimentary goods at high selling merchandise pages.

3. Easy shopping experience
Simplify registration and check-out procedures on your online store and allow shoppers to spend quality time on shopping.
Appealingly display the 'Buy' button along with the product image and description. This will help you up web sales through impulsive buying and will build an easy shopping atmosphere for your shoppers.

4. Discount options
Carry on offering diverse discount and rebate tools to encourage your customers to come back to your store. Introduce 'surprise' discount schemes for few merchandise groups, for fixed terms. Encourage swift buying by specifying the time deadlines for your discounted prices.

5. Treating regular customers
Your regular shoppers are your key assets. Appreciate their loyalty by presenting them special loyalty discounts. Providing them with special 'e-coupons' boosts their shopping experience on your website. Encourage your regular shoppers to write product reviews on your online store to draw your first time shoppers.
