While there are many ways people try to get more sleep, whether it's with weighted blankets or super-comfy sheets, one of the most important elements to a good night's sleep is, of course, your mattress.
The number of online mattress companies keeps growing, and now more companies than ever are offering up luxurious, quality mattresses to consumers at the click of a button. You can find everything from memory foam to hybrid to foam mattresses, many of which even offer extended trial periods. And these bed-in-a-box mattresses get delivered directly to your door, so you don't even have to leave the house.

After the Texas freeze killed so many plants there are concerns nectar feeding animals will be significantly impacted. One thing you can do is put out a feeder.

Fundbase, a FINMA regulated Fund Services firm, has been acquired by ACOLIN from Nectar Digital Wealth in Switzerland. The acquisition allows ACOLIN to support its clients with their digital distribution strategies.

Fundbase is the first online market place that connects professional investors looking to include alternative investments in their investment process with a universe of alternative investment funds. The startup helps investors source high-quality alternative investment solutions through a unique online marketplace that collates research and portfolio management information for each fund and provides a communication portal to fund promoters.

The big idea

Tawny crazy ants – named for their fast, erratic movements – can blanket the ground by the millions. Originating in South America and now established in parts of the southern U.S., they harm other insects, asphyxiate chickens and even short-circuit electronics in homes.
At only 0.125 inches (3.2 mm) long, crazy ants are tiny but mighty.

The nutritional content of nectar and honeydew vary widely, however, depending on the nutrients available in a particular ecosystem. There are 25 chemical elements required to build life – too much or too little of one may cause disease. So far, ecologists only really know about the importance of macronutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, that are abundant in living tissue. My team wanted to learn more about what micronutrients might be important to crazy ants.

Scientists carrying out investigative work on honey have revealed crucial data about the feeding habits of honeybees. There has been a considerable shift in wildflowers available to the pollinators.

Researchers made use of genetic tools to determine which particular plants the honeybees visited in the rural regions. This was compared with a specific study conducted in 1952, and the big shifts observed were significant.
White Clover Disappearing Fast, Honeybees Seek Alternatives
In the 1950s, the pollinators principally gathered nectar and pollen from white clover. But today, white clover is one of the plants facing extinction. For this reason, the honeybees seek alternatives such as Himalayan balsam and oilseed rape.

Aifred Health sole Canadian team among 10 semi-finalists of global IBM Watson competition
Montreal-based Aifred Health has been named one of the top 10 semi-finalists of the global IBM Watson AI XPrize. The startup is the final Canadian team remaining in the multi-year competition.
“We have the chance to show the world what we can do.”
“Being in this competition up until this level, and being a team that started with the competition, there’s an intense feeling of accomplishment, and pride and, gratefulness that we have the chance to show the world what we can do,” said David Benrimoh, Aifred’s chief science officer.

“I don’t think we’ve seen a single event in Australia that has destroyed so much habitat and pushed so many creatures to the very brink of extinction,” said Kingsley Dixon, an ecologist at Curtin University in Perth.
Not long after wildfires passed through Oxley Wild Rivers National Park in New South Wales, ecologist Guy Ballard set out looking for brush-tailed rock wallabies.
The small marsupials resemble miniature kangaroos with long floppy tails and often bound between large boulders, their preferred hiding spots.
Before this fire season, scientists estimated there were as few as 15,000 left in the wild. Now recent fires in a region already stricken by drought have burned through some of their last habitat, and the species is in jeopardy of disappearing, Ballard said.
