BBC forced to make musicians keep volume down
London (PTI): The BBC has been forced to make musicians keep the volume down to comply with an EU safety directive to ensure performers are not exposed to excessive levels of noise. EU noise control officers have been monitoring rehearsals to ensure orchestras keep below 140 decibels. They are demanding that performers ease off on extra-loud crescendos during the Proms concerts series to protect their hearing.

Proms is short for promenade concerts, a term which arose from the original practice of audience members promenading, or strolling, in some areas of the concert hall during the recital. Under an EU directive, passed in April this year, the BBC is responsible for making sure performers are not exposed to excessive levels of noise.

"If they go over this danger level we have to ask them to play more quietly," a spokesman was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph newspaper today. The health and safety police has forced the corporation to erect screens between the musicians and hand out earplugs to make sure performers are not exposed to excessive noise, the report said.

The world service has also had to transport musicians to larger rehearsal spaces so that the two-month long programme at the Royal Albert Hall in London meets European standards. This years programme, which runs from July 18 to September 13, is the biggest classical music festival in the world.

The Proms, which were founded in 1895, now comprise more than 70 concerts in the Albert Hall, a series of eight chamber concerts and four Saturday matinees at Cadogan Hall, additional Proms in the Park events across the UK on the last night, and associated educational and childrens events.

Natural therapy for heart vein opening.

Please pass it to your family members, colleagues or friends.

For Heart Vein opening :

1) Lemon juice 01 cup
2) Ginger juice 01 cup
3) Garlic juice 01 cup
4) Apple vinegar 01 cup

Mix all above and boil in light flame approximately half hour, when it becomes 3 cups, take it out and keep it
for cooling. After cooling, mix 3 cups of natural honey and keep it in bottle.

Every morning before breakfast use one Table spoon regularly. Your blockage of Vein's will open
(No need any Angiography or By pass)

Further to above, a doctor's advise ....

In the first place you don't die of blocked veins. Heart attacks are caused by poor diet, smoking and lack of exercise resulting in stiffening and narrowing of arteries with cholesterol build up. No amount of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar is going to clear that up if you dont change the lifestyle.

An angiogram is a picture of your bloodvessels that shows narrowing and blockage. If there is no problem there is no need for any further procedure. If there is narrowing more than a certain percentage and less than 3 vessels, balloon angioplasty can be done at the same time. If more than 3 vessels are affected the patient will need a bypass.

These are life saving procedures and must be done if the patient experiences chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion, cold sweats and giddiness. As you can see the guy from the soft ware company had all the risk factors and was asked to change his lifestyle. Thats the way to go.

There are no short cuts to health but there are lots to hell.

Thanks app_engine

and Q interesting news... my dad has been a diabetic for more than 30 years now.. I wonder if something like this can reverse his diabetes now..

My father and now my mother...and other close relatives all have diabetes....and I feel awful each time I have to pester my Appa especially about his eating habits... so yup hope there more progress made!

Oh then you need to be careful too! What I would suggest is go for a medical check up when you are 30. In my case my father is a diabetic and my mother has low sugar, I am expecting it to be in neutral

Bed sharing 'drains men's brains'
Sharing a bed with someone could temporarily reduce your brain power - at least if you are a man - Austrian scientists suggest.
When men spend the night with a bed mate their sleep is disturbed, whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next day.

The lack of sleep also increases a man's stress hormone levels.

According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare better because they sleep more deeply.

Sleepless nights

Professor Gerhard Kloesch and colleagues at the University of Vienna studied eight unmarried, childless couples in their 20s.

Each couple was asked to spend 10 nights sleeping together and 10 apart while the scientists assessed their rest patterns with questionnaires and wrist activity monitors.

The next day the couples were asked to perform simple cognitive tests and had their stress hormone levels checked.






Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible
Professor Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey

Although the men reported they had slept better with a partner, they fared worse in the tests, with their results suggesting they actually had more disturbed sleep.

Both sexes had a more disturbed night's sleep when they shared their bed, Professor Kloesch told a meeting of the Forum of European Neuroscience.

But women apparently managed to sleep more deeply when they did eventually drop off, since they claimed to be more refreshed than their sleep time suggested.

Their stress hormone levels and mental scores did not suffer to the same extent as the men.

But the women still reported that they had the best sleep when they were alone in bed.

Bed sharing also affected dream recall. Women remembered more after sleeping alone and men recalled best after sex.

Separate beds

Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the University of Surrey, said: "It's not surprising that people are disturbed by sleeping together.

"Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in the same bed as each other. It is a bizarre thing to do.

"Sleep is the most selfish thing you can do and it's vital for good physical and mental health.

"Sharing the bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for the duvet is not sensible.

"If you are happy sleeping together that's great, but if not there is no shame in separate beds."

He said there was a suggestion that women are pre-programmed to cope better with broken sleep.

"A lot of life events that women have disturb sleep - bringing up children, the menopause and even the menstrual cycle," he explained.

But Dr Stanley added people did get used to sharing a bed.

"If they have shared their bed with their partner for a long time they miss them and that will disturb sleep."

Coming soon: cars that can shrink and make u-turns on the spot!


London, September 12 (ANI): Cars that can shrink into tight parking spaces, are wind-powered, and can even do a u-turn on the spot are among the 29 vehicles that have made the shortlist for the Peugeot Design Contest 2008.

The list even includes a car that can bend in the middle to allow the driver a better view of the road ahead, and a two-wheeler that is operated by a joystick rather than a steering wheel.

Participants in the event were told to concentrate on environmental awareness, social harmony, interactive mobility and economic efficiency, while retaining the Peugeot style.

Ying Hui Choo, a participant from Singapore, said that his Peugeot Blade is designed for "pure driving enjoyment".

"The Peugeot Blade is the first car of its kind to harness a resource most cars are designed to evade - air itself. It makes use of the air moving across its body to turn a wind turbine designed to generate electricity. The faster the car goes, the faster the windmill turns, the more electricity it will create to feed the electric motor, hence lengthening the electric car's range and efficiency," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

Turkish designer Emre Yazici has designed a two-wheel, lightweight electric car for a single passenger, which needs just a third of the parking space used by a typical saloon car.

Another quality of his car is that it can do a u-turn on the spot.

The flexible windshield also operates as a door by rolling back into the drum at the back of the car.

"Say goodbye to the clumsy and unsafe steering wheel, and also to the pedals. The driver employs a joystick to perform the manoeuvres, and to control the speed simultaneously," he said.

Two French designers - Woo-Ram Lee and Argentine Esteban Peisci - have created cars that run on three spheres rather than traditional wheels.

People can vote for their favourite design on the Peugeot website, and the winning design will be picked by Peugeot from 10 finalists and will be announced on October 2 at the Paris Motor Show. (ANI)
