2011-11-23

SAFAT, KUWAIT, November 23, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Radisson Blu Hotel, Kuwait recently hosted the third Concert of Hope. This beautiful musical black tie event under the patronage of H.E. The British Ambassador Mr. Frank Baker O.B.E. was in association with The Kuwait Chamber Philharmonia.

Held in the Al Hashemi Ballroom at the hotel, the evening of musical delight featured opera singing sensation from 'Arabs Got Talent', Abdulrahman Al Mahmeed as well as a variety of other musical talent.

The recent winner of 'Arabs Got Talent', Abdulrahman Al Mahmeed is known to hold his audiences spellbound as he sings a varied repertoire of western, Italian operatic and Kuwaiti numbers. The Diary of Hope 2012 concert will be Abdulrahman's first charity performance.

"I've participated in concerts in Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Morocco and elsewhere. In Kuwait I participated in a musical concert in the 360 Mall, which was a tremendous success. I received great feedback from the public even though I was afraid that people here would not like operatic music. For the charity concert I will sing two or more international operatic pieces," he told one of the local newspapers.

Abdulrahman was also a guest of honor at the press conference for the Hope Foundation launch, chaired by Dr Sabriya Al-Saleh. Also in attendance were figures from Arabic and English media, Hope Foundation committee members and Abdulrahman's fellow performers.

"The evening will also include some operatic and Arabic songs presented by Abdulrahman Al-Mahmeed and other local and international musicians will present a beautiful repertoire of music. It will also include solo performances, including on the piano," noted Dr Al-Saleh during the conference.

Ambassador Baker said that the event is not all about music but also about charity, about giving and about the Diary of Hope, something that was started eight years ago. "The Diary of Hope 2012 is on sale for KD 5 and I hope you will be able to buy one or many more of those so the money will go to a good cause," he added.

All proceeds went to Kuwait and International charities, including BAACH Bayt Abdullah's children Hospice for terminally ill children. Donations were gratefully received by the registered charity The Hope Foundation

The Radisson Blu Hotel Kuwait has been working closely with the Kuwait Chamber Philharmonia and various classical music concerts take place at its Al Hashemi Ballroom through out a year. It was the third time the Concert of Hope took place at the Radisson Blu Hotel Kuwait city. It was attended by 400 people and was a great success.

New class of drugs for the reversible inhibition of proteasomes

2011-11-23

This press release is available in German. As the "recycling plant" of the cell, the proteasome regulates vitally important functions. When it is inhibited, the cell chokes on its own waste. Cancer cells, in particular, are very sensitive because they need the proteasome for their uncontrolled growth. Biochemists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) have now identified the lead structure of a new class of drugs that attacks the proteasome in an unusual way. New medication could be developed on the basis of this previously unknown binding mechanism. The scientists ...

The National Trust Reveals Consumers Need a Leg Up with Farming Knowledge

2011-11-23

The National Trust has revealed the results from a new survey* which show that the vast majority (93 per cent) of people in Great Britain don't know the best time of year to enjoy eating British lamb. Only seven per cent of respondents correctly identified autumn as the time for tucking into one of Britain's favourites, with half (49 per cent) choosing spring as the best time to serve lamb - the time of year when most lambs are born. The research marks six months of the National Trust's mass on-line MyFarm experiment at its 1,200 acre organic farm at Wimpole in Cambridgeshire. ...

Great Lakes fish feed on invading shrimp

2011-11-23

The latest invader of the Great Lakes—Hemimysis anomala, or more commonly the bloody red shrimp after its bright red spots—may become a new food source for fish, allaying concerns about how it will impact native fish populations. "Forecasting how an invader will affect the growth and production of a specific native fish species is very relevant to conservation groups and government agencies hoping to conserve those fish," says Biology graduate student Mike Yuille. Mr. Yuille is the lead author of a study that suggests for the first time that several native fish species ...

Smithsonian scientists use fossil feathers reveal lineage of extinct, flightless ibis

2011-11-23

A remarkable first occurred recently at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History when ornithologists Carla Dove and Storrs Olson used 700- to 1,100-year-old feathers from a long extinct species of Hawaiian ibis to help determine the bird's place in the ibis family tree. The feathers are the only known plumage of any of the prehistorically extinct birds that once inhabited the Hawaiian Islands. Discovered with a nearly complete skeleton, the feathers retained enough microscopic structure to allow the scientists to confirm the classification of the bird, known ...

The researchers also conclude that ...

On the road to plasmonics with silver polyhedral nanocrystals

2011-11-23

The question of how many polyhedral nanocrystals of silver can be packed into millimeter-sized supercrystals may not be burning on many lips but the answer holds importance for one of today's hottest new high-tech fields – plasmonics! Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) may have opened the door to a simpler approach for the fabrication of plasmonic materials by inducing polyhedral-shaped silver nanocrystals to self-assemble into three-dimensional supercrystals of the highest possible density. Plasmonics ...

"My New Goalie has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R..." "My new goalie has a first name, it's O-S-C-A-R..." Don't be surprised if you overhear an NHL GM singing this song to himself in a Pittsburgh hotel lobby in June 2012. Ok, it's pretty corny, so you probably won't actually hear anyone signing it, but come draft day, there will be a GM who will be feeling as happy as a kid with a hot dog. After all, he will have just selected a goalie named Oscar with his team's first round pick. Oscar Dansk is currently the highest ranked goalie in the upcoming ...
