LateRooms.com - Perth Visitors to Enjoy Fremantle Street Arts Festival

The event has grown to become the largest street performance festival in Australia.

2011-03-25

PERTH, AUSTRALIA, March 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Performers from across the world will travel to Western Australia next month to take part in the annual Fremantle Street Arts Festival (FSAF).

Over the years, the event has grown to become the biggest of its kind in the country, attracting artists from as far afield as England, France, Japan and the US.

FSAF 2011 looks like it will be bigger and better than ever before, with the programme expanded to four days to coincide with the long Easter weekend (April 23rd to 26th).

Thousands of people are expected to pack the streets of Fremantle throughout the festival to witness "first-class acts", the organisers explained. The line-up also includes evening cabaret shows at the town hall.

A full list of artists will be published closer to the time, but festival chiefs have promised something for everyone, including stand-up comedy, stage shows, movies, music and more.

Last year's event ran for three days and featured shows from 22 of the world's best street performers, such as plate-spinning duo Klirr Deluxe and circus star Fraser Hooper.

The action takes place at various sites around Fremantle.

Tourists looking to stay in last minute hotels near the city can visit LateRooms.com.au, which boasts a generous selection of Perth accommodation.

2011-03-25

Have you been wearing your retainer? It's a question countless parents ask of their children post-braces. Now Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine researchers are getting serious about the question. "We found little written about the kinds of retainers prescribed and how compliant patients are in using them," said Case Western Reserve's Manish Valiathan, an assistant professor of orthodontics and a member of the American Board of Orthodontics. He notes that there is a dearth of information despite the devices being common in orthodontics practice. Consequently ...

A diabetes drug, sitagliptin, also has a potential to prevent diabetes

2011-03-25

Diabetes type 2 is caused by insufficient levels of insulin to keep blood glucose under control. Excessive levels of another hormone, glucagon, can also contribute to diabetes type 2 by causing the liver to flood the body with stored glucose. Diabetes type 2 does not arise overnight, but slowly progresses for many years as a condition known as prediabetes. In prediabetes, blood sugar rises to excessive levels after a meal, but is normal or nearly normal after an overnight fast. Researchers are seeking ways to prevent prediabetes from progressing to diabetes. Besides diet ...

Johns Hopkins scientists link DNA 'end-caps' length to diabetes risk

2011-03-25

New evidence has emerged from studies in mice that short telomeres or "caps" at the ends of chromosomes may predispose people to age-related diabetes, according to Johns Hopkins scientists. Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA that protect the ends of chromosomes, and they normally shorten with age, much like the caps that protect the end of shoelaces. As telomeres shorten, cells lose the ability to divide normally and eventually die. Telomere shortening has been linked to cancer, lung disease, and other age-related illnesses. Diabetes, also a disease of aging, ...
