LateRooms.com - Watch Toots and The Maytals in Cairns

The iconic reggae band are playing the Tanks Arts Centre in April.

2011-04-02
CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA, April 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Reggae legends Toots and The Maytals are playing in Cairns next month in a preview to their show at Byron Bay's Bluesfest.

The group have been together for more than four decades, having risen to prominence in 1964 with their debut album I'll Never Grow Old - Presenting The Maytals.

Including remastered records and greatest hits compilations, the band have released more than 50 LPs.

They are even credited with coining the word "reggae" on their 1968 hit single Do The Reggay.

Although their first album won critical acclaim, it was not until they launched tracks Funky Kingston and Reggae Got Soul in the early 1970s that they began to forge an international reputation.

Their most recent LP, Twist and Flip, was released in 2010 and features the likes of Almighty Way, Bye Bye and What Kind of Woman.

They will play the Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns on April 20th 2011. Doors open at 18:30 local time and the show starts at 19:30.

Admission costs AU$60 and is only available to over-15s.

The venue is located on Collins Avenue in Edge Hill, just four kilometres from Cairns city centre.

Fans of the band looking for Cairns accommodation can use LateRooms.com.au to choose from a wide array of hotel deals in the city.

The first non-trivial atom circuit: Progress toward an atom SQUID
2011-04-02
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland (UM) have created the first nontrivial "atom circuit," a donut-shaped loop of ultracold gas atoms circulating in a current analogous to a ring of electrons in a superconducting wire. The circuit is "nontrivial" because it includes a circuit element—an adjustable barrier that controls the flow of atom current to specific allowed values. The newly published* work was done at the Joint Quantum Institute, a NIST/UM collaboration. Ultracold gases, such as the Bose-Einstein ...

Discount Vouchers are the Saviour of High Earners Looking to Off-Set Income Losses

2011-04-02
Discount vouchers are no longer just for the less well off, according to independent money saving website DiscountVouchers.co.uk, which reported recently that the traffic from ABC1 visitors on its site was at a record high with 61% of the two million-plus who logged on last month from the top income groups. The report comes around the same time as the latest research from the BBC* found that UK households suffered a loss of 1.6 per cent of real income after tax - a loss of GBP365 compared with figures for 2008. However, high tax payers are losing out worse still and ...

LateRooms.com - Cornwall Visitors to Enjoy Trevithick Day in Camborne

2011-04-02
Camborne in Cornwall is due to hold its annual celebration of the area's industrial heritage on Saturday April 30th. The community event is known as Trevithick Day after Richard Trevithick, the inventor and pioneer of high-pressure steam power who was born close by in 1771. Trevithick's inventions helped to increase the efficiency of engines used to pump water from the lower levels of tin and copper mines in the south-west, while he also laid claim to the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive. People visiting Camborne on April 30th will encounter street ...

A measurement first: NIST 'noise thermometry' system measures Boltzmann Constant

A measurement first: NIST noise thermometry system measures Boltzmann Constant
2011-04-02
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have for the first time used an apparatus that relies on the "noise" of jiggling electrons to make highly accurate measurements of the Boltzmann constant, an important value for many scientific calculations. The technique is simpler and more compact than other methods for measuring the constant and could advance international efforts to revamp the world's scientific measurement system. The Boltzmann constant* relates energy to temperature for individual particles such as atoms. The accepted value ...
