Chia seeds are already popular in the United States, and are loaded with omega-3 essential fatty acids, minerals, proteins as well as antioxidants. The seeds may be sanctioned to be used within products in Britain, where they will join other wonderfoods such as acai berries, wheatgrass and goji berries. Currently chia seeds are sold here only as a bread additive, however the Advisory Committee on Novel Foods, a panel of experts that assists the Food Standards Agency, seems to be ready to give the seeds full approval. This may mean that chia seeds can be introduced to other baked goods and breakfast cereals.

Some people consider the seeds to be completely flavourless although some declare they possess a nutty fragrance, but the taste of these seeds is not extensively criticized. In fact chia seeds were widely cultivated by the ancient Aztecs in Mexico where the seeds were considered to be the food of the Gods.

The government expects that the NewBuy scheme, which is being supported by Nationwide, Barclays and NatWest will provide much needed help for prospective housebuyers as they are able to borrow as much as 95% of the price of new properties. it is also hoped that the scheme will provide a boost to the construction industry.

Under the new scheme the house builder will pay 3.5% of the purchase cost into an account held by the mortgage lender for 7 years, additional guarantees of 5.5% are to be provided by taxpayers, however those funds are to be required only in the eventuality of a significant property crash.

The NewBuy scheme introduction coincides with the Prime Minister announcing the extension of the right-to-buy discount for tenants in social housing. Within this scheme, individuals who have lived for 5 years in a council house will be eligible for a 35% discount, and an extra 1% for every additional year up to a maximum of £75,000. Renters in flats can get 50% discount after 5 years, along with 2% extra for every year. According to the government the funds raised through the sales are going to be used towards providing new, affordable housing.

In the study of 80,000 individuals and their happiness, the ONS learned that adult men between 45 and 49 years of age tend to be the least happy about life in Britain. On the other hand, people aged from 65 to 80 are the most contented.

The largest urban areas – the West Midlands and London – are classified as the gloomiest areas. Men and women that are located in these regions are least happy with their lot in spite of London being easily the most prosperous area of the nation. The happiest spot in the UK, which also experiences the greatest level of life satisfaction, is Northern Ireland.

Females were discovered to be more content than males throughout the majority of age ranges until they arrive at the age of retirement. After they reach 65, men were seen to be marginally more happy than women.

The survey draws on information provided by 80,000 adults throughout the UK, and the results are based upon a number of questions that individuals were asked concerning their own happiness, levels of anxiety, satisfaction and also feelings of worth. Individuals were instructed to evaluate the way they were feeling on a scale of 1 to 10. The study did not include questions regarding their income.

The investigation also discovered that married couples experience greater levels of life satisfaction than those that co-habit, yet co-habiting couples tend to be more happy than single people.

Net profit plummeted to 12m euros from 52m a year previously. Total income fell 31% as consumer sales dropped 40%. This comes in spite of the company’s announcement in December that they were trimming 10% of their personnel (457 jobs) in a 50m euro cost-cutting initiative. TomTom said they will divide into 10 distinct product units, such as maps, navigation, traffic and personal gps devices.

TomTom have battled for some time with decreasing demand for their personal navigation devices, these devices make up 50% of overall product sales. The Dutch firm increasingly offers devices built in vehicle dashboards in the face of heightened levels of competition from cost-free gps navigation applications on tablet computers and smartphones. The company additionally markets live traffic products for online gadgets and smartphone applications where they have increasingly met competion from firms such as Google.

Red Sends Out Sexual Signals

The researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, reveal that men genuinely do prefer ladies in red as they are feel they are less likely to suffer rejection. The research, in which 96 men from the US and Austria were tested, additionally discovered that the men thought the girls in red may respond favourably to advances. The findings of the study could go some way towards explaining why red is typically the shade linked with romance.

In the study – published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology – the study team instructed men to rate images of females framed with borders of various colours – and the exact same women when framed in red were regularly ranked as more desirable. The men were then asked how receptive they thought women in different coloured shirts may be to romantic propositions. An additional question was “visualize going on a date with this woman and you have $100 in your pocket. How much of this money would you be prepared to spend on the date?” Again the women wearing red rated more highly on both points.

The authors of the research stated that the reaction to red almost certainly is due to biological instincts as opposed to social perception of this vivid colour. Studies show that non-human male primates are especially drawn to females exhibiting red colouring. For example, female chimpanzees and baboons redden noticeably when they are near to ovulation, transmitting a definite sexual signal that will catch the attention of males.

Increased Interest In Property Market

The amount of potential buyers signing up with estate agents rose by 18%, the greatest interest witnessed since the 23% increase back in February 2007, as reported by Hometrack. Buyer numbers in the South East were up 28%, and 22% in the South West. However numbers were helped by a rush of first time buyers eager to beat the end of the stamp duty holiday on March 24.

With numerous buyers also wishing to sell, the inventory of property arriving on the market increased 10% throughout the month. Nevertheless, with the increased numbers of first time buyers who have no homes to sell, demand outstripped availability throughout the vast majority of regions, and the lack of available homes remains a major feature of the current housing market. During the last 6 months there was only a 1.5% improvement in the number of homes for sale, meaning that prices remained static, the survey reveals.

Richard Donnell of Hometrack, stated that the increase of 0.1% noted in Greater London balanced out drops of 0.1% in the West Midlands, East Midlands, the North West, the South West and also Wales.

Physicians say that 132 sufferers throughout Australia and the US who had been given the Vemurafenib drug lived for several months longer. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine discovered that individuals in the research that had been given the drug typically lived for 16 months, weighed against 9 months for patients given regular treatments.

Vemurafenib (or Zelboraf) has now been recommended for approval within Europe. This new drug is just one of two treatments for advanced melanoma that has been sanctioned via fast-track in the United States in the past year, providing optimism for individuals with late-stage melanoma. Prior to these two treatments, there were no new medications for skin cancer in more than 10 years.

Dr Antoni Ribas, a professor from the Jonsson Cancer Center at the UCLA said that this research demonstrates that Zelboraf shifts the natural course of thise disease, and the data from the study is over and above what was expected.

The drug – RoActemra – is now being advocated for sufferers that have not responded to normal treatment methods, and this is the first time it has been sanctioned for NHS patients within England and Wales that have moderate / severe rheumatoid arthritis and are in the early stages of the disease. The drug (also known as Tocilizumab) has, however, been readily available for early use within Scotland for 2 years.

Currently in England and Wales RoActemra is in use by just 1,200 patients who are at later stages of development. This judgement by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, will mean that around 40,000 additional patients will become eligible for the treatment. RoActemra currently costs £9000 for a year’s treatment, however a discount structure has been agreed upon with producers Roche.

Trial statistics indicate that nearly half of affected individuals on RoActemra will be in remission after 12 months, weighed against 8% using a popular drug known as methotrexate.

RoActemra is an antibody which inhibits the activity of interleukin 6 (IL-6), an essential molecule in the immune system that supports numerous inflammatory functions.
As RoActemra functions in a totally different way to established medications it may succeed in certain patients where other drugs have ceased to work.
