CLEARWATER, FL, November 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) On Sunday, December 4th, starting at 6pm, the Historic Fort Harrison will open its doors to the Guilfoil Ballet Theater and their production of the Nutcracker, benefitting Youth for Human Rights of Tampa Bay and the Community Learning Center.
Andrew Guilfoil, the Founder and Creative Director of the Guilfoil Ballet Theater is excited to utilize the Nutcracker to support these two groups that help children navigate today's world.
Youth for Human Rights of Tampa Bay utilizes the documentary "What are Human Rights" and Public Service Announcements outlining the 30 rights due to all people as written and ratified by the United Nations - the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Where this campaign has been implemented in schools and with youth groups, participants see a decline in violence and bullying.
The Community Learning Center uses a phonics-based reading program along with the Study Technology developed by humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard. This tutoring program regularly raises reading scores to grade level and above for the children in their care.
A classic ballet story that features a child standing up to defend a friend and rewards that can come from such an action, the Nutcracker is about young Clara, who is given a Nutcracker doll as a Christmas gift by the mysterious Herr Drosselmeyer. Clara helps to transform the Nutcracker into a Prince and as a reward, is taken to meet the Sugar Plum Fairy in the Land of Sweets. Jessica White stars as Clara and Maja Kikie stars as the Sugar Plum Fairy.
At this performance, guests can join the whole cast on their magical tour of the Land of Sweets at the historic Fort Harrison on Sunday, December 4th at 6pm. Ticket prices are $25 and $50 for performance, which will include a "Land of Sweets" buffet prior to the performance.
The Fort Harrison is owned by the Church of Scientology, Flag Service Organization and is home to their international religious retreat. The Auditorium, Crystal Ballroom and Board Rooms are available to charity groups for their meetings and functions, free of charge.
For ticket information, please contact Brett Crandall at 727-216-6989, or on-line at http://www.guilfoilacademyofdance.com.

Rivers may aid climate control in cities
2011-11-21
Speaking at the URSULA (Urban River Corridors and Sustainable Living Agendas) Conference, in Sheffield, Dr Abigail Hathway, of the University of Sheffield, will demonstrate how rivers can cool their local environment. Urban areas suffer increased temperatures as a result of traffic, air-conditioning systems and modern building materials which can absorb and re-radiate heat from the sun.
Water produces a cooling microclimate, absorbing some of this excess heat, helping cities stay cool. As scientists learn more about these microclimates they can start to understand how ...

How the fly flies
2011-11-21
This press release is available in German.
Flies are real flight artists, although they only have small wings compared to their body size. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich, Germany, recently identified the genetic switch that regulates the formation of flight muscles. "The gene spalt is essential for the generation of the ultrafast super muscles," emphasizes Frank Schnorrer, head of the research group 'Muscle Dynamics'.

Friends with benefits
2011-11-21
Human relationships are intense and long lasting, and differ in a number of ways from those of our fellow mammals. However, we still have little idea of what motivates us to continue to invest a considerable proportion of our energy and time in such relationships. A new study suggests that unlike rodents, which have been the focus of studies to date, we, along with our fellow primates, rely on endorphin rewards to motivate us to maintain our complex relationship networks. This new study argues that, while oxytocin and vasopressin have a role to play in the initial stages ...
