Woolworths confirms changes to key trading hours for stores across Australia

Woolworths has announced major changes to its national trading hours and the way it operates its deli, seafood and meat departments. The supermarket giant has confirmed to 7NEWS.com.au that store opening and closing hours will be adjusted to be more consistent across Australia. Learn more about Woolworths’ big change in the video above For more Food related news and videos check out Food >> This means the selected store will open an hour later or close an hour earlier to match stores in other states (see full details below). In addition, Woolworths has shortened the trading hours of its new service counter. Starting August 1st, the supermarket’s deli, meat and seafood department will close at 7pm or 8pm – regardless of store opening hours (see full details below). Woolworths has confirmed that opening and closing hours will be adjusted to make it more uniform across Australia.

Earth's primordial water cycle was key to making continents, study shows

Credit: Curtin University A new study from Curtin University has found that water was transported much deeper in the early Earth than previously thought, explaining how the continents originally formed. Studies published in Earth and Planetary Science Letter answers a long-standing question about Earth’s early water cycle. Principal investigator Dr. Michael Hartnady, of the Curtin School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, says how water is stored and transported through the Earth’s crust affects everything from where volcanoes and mineral deposits form to where earthquakes occur. “Although we understand the modern deep water cycle, we know very little about how it worked when Earth was a very young planet,” said Dr. Hartnady. “Some geological evidence suggests that water was transported to great depths on Earth all the way back to 3.5 billion years ago, although it is not well understood how exactly it got there.” The researchers used ad

Gene Regulation May Be Key to Longer Life

The researchers found that long-lived organisms often exhibit high expression of genes involved in DNA repair, RNA transport, and cellular framework organization and low expression of genes involved in inflammation and energy consumption. Researchers from the University of Rochester interested in longevity genetics propose new targets to fight aging and age-related disorders. Mammals that age at very different rates have been created through natural selection. The naked mole rat, for example, can live up to 41 years, which is 10 times longer than rats and other rodents of comparable size. What causes longer life? An important component of the puzzle, according to a recent study by biologists at the University of Rochester, is found in the mechanisms that control gene expression. Vera Gorbunova, Doris Johns Cherry professor of biology and medicine, Andrei Seluanov, the publication’s first author, Jinlong Lu, a postdoctoral researcher in Gorbunova’s lab, and other researchers examined

The Undroppables: Who's the key to playing in Round 19?

The Undroppable. The category of footballers we created. Definition: A fringe or developing AFL player who performs well enough to maintain their place in the side for the following week. Throughout the season, we’ll be keeping an eye on players who take their chances on the team and do enough to lock themselves in in the next round. Check out our nominations from Round 18 below: Noah Cumberland (Richmond) It may have been a game to forget for Richmond, but Noah Cumberland’s performance should not be overlooked. The 21-year-old forward has only played his second AFL game (excluding those spent as medi-sub) and made a useful return on the 3.4 scoreboard. Yes, he is a little inefficient in front of goal, however, he managed to score seven shots in a game at AFL level which is not easy to do. Cumberland also racked up 14 releases, had 11 scoring engagements (second only to Jack Riewoldt’s 12), the same team high seven in the 50s and four tackles, drawing three coach votes for his trouble

KeepSight's key optometry for diabetic eye disease

Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss and avoidable blindness in working-age Australians. It is now three years since the launch of KeepSight, Australia’s diabetes eye disease screening initiative that is turning attention to diabetes-related vision loss. In Part 2 of National Diabetes Week (10-16 July), Outlook check with some of the program’s key stakeholders. Black Taryn, Diabetes Australia – national program and policy director The daily burden of living with diabetes can be significant. It is estimated that people with diabetes face up to 180 diabetes-related decisions every day – that’s more than 65,000 extra decisions a year. Combined with busy personal and professional lives, remembering and scheduling regular eye exams can be ignored or put on a priority ‘list’. Add to that the global pandemic and significant disruption to routine health care over the past two years, and it’s no surprise that people’s regular eye exams may have fallen by the wayside

Science News | Researchers Analyze Structure of Antibodies That Could Hold Key to More Effective Cancer Treatments | NewestLY

Southampton [UK]July 10 (ANI): In the fight against Cancer, new insights into the key properties of antibodies have been discovered by researchers at the University of Southampton.

Researchers analyzed the structure of antibodies that could be key to more effective cancer treatments

Researchers at the University of Southampton have gained unprecedented new insights into the key properties of antibodies needed to fight cancer. The interdisciplinary study, published in Science Immunology, reveals how changing the flexibility of antibodies can stimulate a stronger immune response. These findings enabled the Southampton team to design antibodies to activate important receptors on immune cells to “turn them on” and provide a more potent anti-cancer effect. The scientists believe their findings could pave the way for improving antibody drugs that target cancer as well as other autoimmune diseases. In the study, the team investigated antibody drugs that target the CD40 receptor for cancer treatment. Clinical development is hampered by a lack of understanding of how to stimulate receptors to appropriate levels. The problem is that if the antibodies are overactive, they can become toxic. Previous Southampton studies have shown that a specific type of antibody called IgG2

Key Building Blocks for Life Found in Clouds Near the Center of Our Galaxy

New research finds that molecular clouds are loaded with key precursors for life on Earth. This image is a “Pigtail” Molecular Cloud. Credit: Keio University, NAOJ The main precursors for life on Earth abound in interstellar molecular clouds and may arrive on Earth in comets and meteors. Nitriles, a class of organic molecules with a cyano group (carbon atom Atom is the smallest component of an element. It consists of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and electrons that surround the nucleus. ” data-gt-translate-attributes=”[{” attribute=””>atom bound with a triple unsaturated bond to a nitrogen atom) are typically toxic. But paradoxically, they are also a key precursor for molecules essential for life on Earth, such as ribonucleotides, composed of the nucleobases or ‘letters’ A, U, C, and G joined to a ribose and phosphate group, which together make up “Here we show that the chemistry that takes place in the interstellar medium is able to efficiently form multiple nitriles, wh
