As the level of access and synchronisation grows with each emerging model, SmartPhones are carrying as much information appealing to hackers and fraudsters as many laptops but are much easier to access. Full copies of email accounts and often banking or corporate network access systems are stored on most Smartphones carried across the nation, which makes this a virtual seventh heaven of opportunity for criminals.

A study by UC Davis researchers published in  Archives of Pediatric&Adolescent Medicine has found that most of the healthy children and teenagers in the United States who are taking daily vitamin and mineral supplements probably don't need them.  The study also found that the children who most need to take vitamins aren't getting them.

The idea of ecosystem services is a promising conservation concept but has been rarely put into practice. In  Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, researchers have created a tool they say can report some of the first quantifiable results that place values on nature's services to humans.

Some of the best-described ecosystem services include pollination of crops, flood and storm protection, water filtration and recreation. The challenging part is translating these services into something with a measurable value. Economic valuation methods take changes in the supply of ecosystem services and translate these into changes in human welfare. 

If you care about the environment, you probably have become familiar with the phrase 'food miles' - along with production methods, it has become a key factor in what environmentally conscious people do to get quality food with less impact on the ecosystem.

But they may be negating it, according to new research by the University of Exeter (UK) p ublished in the journal Food Policy.   Shopping locally may not be as good for the environment as having food delivered -  on average, lower carbon emissions result even from having food delivered right to your house than driving to a local farm.
