Few comedians can claim to have had such a huge impact on the British canon of comedy as Cleese, who made his name in Monty Python's Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers.

With scenes like the 'Dead Parrot Sketch' and his hilarious silly walks, the 71-year-old has become a national treasure.

People heading to the show in Liverpool on May 31st can expect to enjoy his trademark sense of humour combined with insight into his long and successful career.

Speaking to the organisers, Cleese remarked: "It is an evening of well-honed anecdotes, psychoanalytical tit-bits, details of recent surgical procedures and unprovoked attacks on former colleagues, especially Michael Palin."

As well as the comic's work on television, he has enjoyed a host of memorable roles in films such as A Fish Called Wanda and the James Bond and Harry Potter franchises.

The performance begins at 19:30 BST, with tickets starting from GBP21 plus booking fees.

Cancer cells accelerate aging and inflammation in the body to drive tumor growth

2011-05-27

PHILADELPHIA— Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson have shed new light on the longstanding conundrum about what makes a tumor grow—and how to make it stop. Interestingly, cancer cells accelerate the aging of nearby connective tissue cells to cause inflammation, which ultimately provides "fuel" for the tumor to grow and even metastasize. This revealing symbiotic process, which is similar to how muscle and brain cells communicate with the body, could prove useful for developing new drugs to prevent and treat cancers. In this simple model, our bodies provide ...

Rendezvous with an asteroid

2011-05-27

TEMPE, Ariz. – A newly announced NASA mission to collect a sample of an asteroid and return it to Earth will include an instrument built at Arizona State University's School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE). The ASU instrument will analyze long-wavelength infrared light emitted from the asteroid to map the minerals on its surface. The device is a modified version of the highly successful miniature infrared spectrometers carried on Spirit and Opportunity, NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rovers. The new asteroid sample-return mission is called OSIRIS-REx, an acronym standing ...

Researchers butter up the old 'scratch test' to make it tough

2011-05-27

It might not seem like scraping the top of a cold stick of butter with a knife could be a scientific test, but engineers at MIT say the process is very similar to the "scratch test," which is perhaps the oldest known way to assess a material's hardness and strength — or, in scientific language, its resistance to deformation. Using the scraping of butter as a starting point, the engineers launched a study to see if the age-old scratch test could be used to determine a material's toughness, or how well it resists fracturing after a small crack has already formed. The answer: ...

New study suggests link between estrogen exposure, high blood pressure

2011-05-27

EAST LANSING, Mich. — While recent studies have shown long-term exposure to estrogen can be a danger to women – overturning physicians' long-held beliefs that the hormone was good for their patients' hearts – the process by which estrogen induces high blood pressure was unclear. In a new study, Michigan State University researchers found long-term estrogen exposure generates excessive levels of the compound superoxide, which causes stress in the body. The buildup of this compound occurs in an area of the brain that is crucial to regulating blood pressure, suggesting that ...

High risk of Parkinson's disease for people exposed to pesticides near workplace

2011-05-27

In April 2009, researchers at UCLA announced they had discovered a link between Parkinson's disease and two chemicals commonly sprayed on crops to fight pests. That epidemiological study didn't examine farmers who constantly work with pesticides but people who simply lived near where farm fields were sprayed with the fungicide maneb and the herbicide paraquat. It found that the risk for Parkinson's disease for these people increased by 75 percent. Now a follow-up study adds two new twists. Once again the researchers returned to California's fertile Central Valley, ...

Folic acid given to mother rats protects offspring from colon cancer

2011-05-27

TORONTO, Ont., May 26, 2011—Folic acid supplements given to pregnant and breast-feeding rats reduced the rate of colon cancer in their offspring by 64 per cent, a new study has found. The research, led by Dr. Young-in Kim, a gastroenterologist at St. Michael's Hospital, adds to the growing but sometimes contradictory evidence that folic acid supplementation during pregnancy and lactation can increase or decrease the development or progression of some pediatric malignancies and common cancers in their offspring in adulthood. For example, a separate study by Kim published ...

Solutions to Rising Food Prices and Threats to World Food Supply Available in "Food Shock" Report from OffTheGridNews.net

2011-05-27

In an article published by Bloomberg.com on May 12, 2011 it was reported that global food prices could climb an additional 4.4% by the end of the year, providing further evidence that the current state of the world's food supply is in flux and in dire need of stabilization. Unfortunately the need isn't being met with enough action as more than 44 million people have been pushed into poverty since last June due to rising food prices and that figure will likely climb alongside the anticipated escalation of food costs. As it becomes evident that governmental involvement and ...
