    CLONING
    January 20, 1998 - United States

    American researchers announced they have cloned calves that may produce medicinal milk. Dr James Robl at the University of Massachusetts and Dr Steven Stice of Advanced Cell Technology were the first to clone cows from fetal cells in which human genes were spliced into cattle DNA. Creating two identical, genetically engineered calves are a step towards the mass production of human drugs in animals. Their goal was to turn cows into drug factories, mass producing milk that contains human proteins important for treating human diseases. The scientists used a variation on the techniques previously used in Edinburgh, Scotland, to create the cloned sheep Dolly. Cows would be better producers of the proteins than sheep because they make more milk.

    MOVIE
    January 20, 1929 - United States

    The first full-length motion picture in the U.S. filmed outdoors was released by Fox Film Corporation. Re-titled as In Old Arizona, it was adapted from a short story by O. Henry, “The Caballero's Way.” The black and white Western was a box-office hit, starring Oscar-winning Warren Baxter as “The Cisco Kid,” a carefree Mexican bandit who outwits the sheriff trying to capture him. A review in the New York Times referred to “the novelty of the Movietone,” listed various incidental sounds and particularly noted the welcome new consideration that the sound of galloping grew fainter and fainter in the distance. Film locations included Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, the Mojave Desert in California and San Juan Capistrano mission.

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

Are you excited about shopping for national lighting at your favorite store? Indeed, you still be wise when you?re shopping on your favorite lighting fixture. Sometimes discount lighting strategies are tricky when seeking a quality lighting system.

ARTICLE CONTENT :

In considering discount lighting, the price is not the decisive factor. In making final decision, advantages should be on top of the lowered price. For example, determine whether other factors such as sales tax, shipping price and the return or refund policy are part of the agreement.

First, it is wise to know the reasons for having discounts. Is there a season or occasion? Manufacturers of lights rarely offer discounts directly to their customers. They usually leave that prerogative to their authorized dealers and retailers. However, at occasions when they indeed grant discounts, consumers are likely to benefit fully because the middle party is not part of the deal.

Discount lighting is a way to promote the brands? quality especially when it is still new. It does not connote that lights with discounted prices are of inferior quality. At most, discounts are given as part of marketing strategy of a store particularly when competition is very tough at their area or at the place of their target market.

Local stores that are labeled as salvage store because of their junky appearance could be a great location for shopping for your fixtures. However, if you cannot find one in your local area, you can still shop for discounted pendant lights or wall lights at department store. The ones which are having a closing sale, last items sales, payday sale are great chances to catch discount lighting.

Discount Lighting is a term given to lighting system at discounted prices. There are several reasons for having this. For one thing, it sets the competition to a friendly level. Today, there are hundreds of manufacturers that offer their lighting products. Selling lights at discount puts them upfront.

At times, the discounts are a fa?ade that in making the final process of transaction, the merchandise is actually bought at regular prices due to other fees. Shipment fees and sales tax are a significant consideration. Are you really having leverages buying the most coveted discount lighting for your kitchen from an online shop even when you have to cover for the shipping fees? What if the merchandise disappoints you when it arrived at your location?

If you place your orders direct to the manufacturers, there could be readily available items with discounts or there could be not. Materials, demands and labor force are among the many considerations of every manufacturing company.

However, bear in mind that not all manufacturers sell directly to the customers. At most, they have authorized retailers that decide the discount amount of the merchandise. Lighting manufacturers themselves cannot impose fix amount of discounted price. It is the sole discretion of a retailer. Buying discount lighting direct from the manufacturers is a rare opportunity that reaps economical benefits because the middle man (which is normally the retailer) is out in the scenario.

Fierce competition in the industry is another reason why stores are giving discounts. This is especially true when there are several lighting stores in one area. To be on top of the others, they offer discount lighting to attract customers and to increase their sales. At times, the advantages are great because quality is not compromised.
