Door2Tour.com Breaks Records with Dancing On Ice 2011 Packages

Door2Tour.com reveals an increase of over 1000% for its Dancing on Ice breaks compared with 2010.

2011-03-30

KENT, ENGLAND, March 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Door2Tour.com has reported that while the overall viewing figures for the 2011 series of Dancing on Ice may not have reached the heights of the show's first airing in 2006, the coach holidays and short breaks website latest revenue figures show an unprecedented year-on-year increase of over 1000% in packages for the live tour.

The 5th live tour, hosted by Andi Peters and featuring skating legends Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean, is showing at 7 major venues across the UK over 28 dates. Celebrity skaters lining up to appear include Radio 1's 'Comedy Dave', Vanilla Ice and 2010 winner Hayley Tammadon, as well as Sunday's finalists Laura Hamilton, Chloe Madeley and newly-crowned 2011 winner, Sam Attwater.

The incredible increase in breaks is thought to be down to the growing popularity of the TV series, heightened media attention surrounding catty judge Jason Gardiner, as well as the continued following of loyal Torvill and Dean fans looking to relive the moment the pair skated their way to gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics with Bolero.

Rachel Jones, Door2Tour.com's Online PR & Marketing co-ordinator, commented: "It's unusual to see an increase like this for a particular event, but we believe that the emergence of other dance shows like So You Think You Can Dance, Comic Relief's Let's Dance and Strictly Come Dancing have made dance-related breaks overall incredibly popular."

The coach holidays consolidator also believes that the success of this year's live Dancing On Ice tours could be due to the profiles of this year's celebs, like lovable Essex lad Jeff Brazier and Loose Women's Denise Welch.

Limited spaces are still available on the Dancing on Ice tour in Birmingham, which includes return coach travel, hotel-to-venue transfers, one night's bed and breakfast accommodation, a ticket to 'Dancing on Ice Live at Birmingham's NIA Arena, an excursion to Stratford-upon-Avon and the services of a tour manager.

Debenhams Beauty Hall has revealed that women are worrying about the appearance of their necks and busts as much as their faces, causing a boom in 'bra in a jar' products. Products designed to minimise turkey necks and smooth crepey cleavage are up 265% on last year, so that the sector is now one of the fastest growing in the beauty industry.

New cancer drug discovered at U-M heads to clinical trials

2011-03-30

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have developed a new drug called AT-406 with potential to treat multiple types of cancer. A study, published this week in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, showed that AT-406 effectively targets proteins that block normal cell death from occurring. Blocking these proteins caused tumor cells to die, while not harming normal cells. The researchers believe the drug could potentially be used alone or in combination with other treatments. The normal cell death process, called apoptosis, ...

Lateef Syed, doctoral student in chemistry, Hyderabad, India, is developing the biosensor with Jun Li, associate professor of chemistry. Their research focuses on E. coli, but Syed said the same technology could also detect other kinds of pathogens, such as salmonella and viruses. "Kansas is a leading state in meat production and the poultry ...

Improve crop yield by removing manure solids

2011-03-30

Madison, WI, MARCH 29, 2011 – Manure has long been used as a crop fertilizer, but the challenge of finding an efficient use of the nutrients found in manure is ever present. The ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus in manure is low in relation to the nutrient needs of most crops. Therefore, crops tend to be overloaded with manure to meet the nitrogen requirement of agricultural crops, but the excess phosphorus from the process can damage the environment. In a study funded by agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, scientists at the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Agassiz, British ...

How plants absorb pollutants

2011-03-30

Madison, WI, MARCH 29, 2011 – The environmental concern is great when considering the role of toxic contaminants in the plant-soil relationship. Understanding plant's absorption and accumulation of these contaminants from the soil would be incredibly beneficial. One highly carcinogenic contaminant commonly found in soil is called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. They are the byproduct of the incomplete combustion of coal, oil, gas, and garbage. These contaminants can also be manufactured; they can be found in certain dyes, plastics and pesticides. Since most the contaminants ...

2011-03-30

PruHealth has announced that 39 is the age Brits really start to worry about their health, according to new calculations* by the insurer that rewards people for engaging in healthy behaviour. With thirty-something peers such as fitness-fanatic Gwyneth Paltrow (38 years) and channel-swimming David Walliams (39 years) showing vitality and achieving their health goals, perhaps it's understandable the average Brit is feeling the heat as they approach the big four-zero. However it seems Brits are all woe and not enough go. Whilst one in ten (11 per cent) constantly worry ...
