Online groceries generated more than $15 billion in sales last year which represented big growth, but also represented a tiny fraction of the $1 trillion grocery market,
according to Forrester research. There are several reasons that investors have shied away from grocery delivery even as they have financed happily innovations in other sectors of the retail economy.
The logistics are nightmarish. It s hard enough to deliver goods to the home in one day or less;
at least at first (and some people simply enjoy grocery shopping). That means that any business getting into delivering groceries must put quality at the top of its priority list.
One head of wilted lettuce can lose a customer forever. Further, the margins in the grocery business are vanishingly thin,
which means that economies of scale are needed before profits can even be hoped for. But the reason most often cited for the hesitation of investors is the implosion of Webvan at the end of the dotcom boom in the early 2000s.
turf-protecting grocers were using the Webvan example asproof that grocery delivery wasn t worth investing in for themselves or anybody else.
But Webvan didn t prove that online grocery-shopping can t work. It proved only that capital must be patient.
Now that grocery delivery seems potentially viable again all eyes are on Amazon. That company seems to be preparing for a major expansion of its current trials of Amazonfresh in three West Coast cities Seattle (where it s been operating for nearly seven years), Los angeles,

#Bees Get a Buzz from Flowers'Electrical Fields Everyone knows that bees buzz around flowers in their quest for nectar.
The bees depend on flowers for nectar which they use to produce honey and flowers need bees to help pollinate other flowers.
whose nectar has just been taken by another insect. The last thing a flower wants is to attract a bee
and then fail to provide nectar said Daniel Robert co-author of the study in a statement.
So flowers the researchers confirmed emit a different electrical signal after their nectar has been harvested. They found that petunias became slightly more positively charged after a bee visited them according to Scientificamerican.
Other scientists are excited about the possible implications this research may have for other nectar-gathering insects such as hoverflies and moths.

Caffeine occurs naturally in the nectar of coffee and citrus flowers. Bees that fed on caffeinated nectar were three times more likely to remember a flower's scent than bees fed sugar alone.

or gluten-sensitive enteropathy cannot eat gluten. Gluten is a protein found in foods processed from wheat and other grains.
Exposure to gluten damages the lining of the small intestine interfering with the absorption of nutrients from food and often causing abdominal pain.
The word celiac sometimes spelled coeliac or cåiac is derived from the Greek koiliakã s abdomen.
When a person with celiac disease consumes gluten the immune system overreacts and targets the body s small intestine.
Patients with celiac disease who do not follow a gluten-free diet often suffer from malnutrition.
It s important that the patient continue to consume gluten before the blood tests to properly measure the immune system s response to that diet.
a lifelong gluten-free diet. This diet must be strict as even the smallest amount of gluten can trigger damage to the small intestines and reverse the healing process.
Full healing in children usually takes six months while full healing can take much longer for adults.
However the gluten-free diet will ease many symptoms significantly once implemented. Â Removing gluten from your diet completely is a difficult transition.

Celiac disease should not be confused with a gluten sensitivity intolerance or allergy. Though gluten sensitivity often has the same symptoms as celiac disease it does not cause the same damage
and risks that celiac disease does. Food allergies occur when a body s immune system overreacts to a food and produces Ige antibodies as a reaction producing histamines
