2012-05-02

BROMLEY, UK, May 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) On Friday 27th April 2012, students and staff at Sydenham High School held a 'Big Breakfast and Balloon Race' to set the world record for the biggest cereal breakfast and release over 3,500 balloons to raise money for charity.

The outdoors event, part of Sydenham High School's 125th anniversary celebrations, took place on the school astroturf between 8 and 10am on Friday morning. 653 girls from the junior and secondary schools braved the weather to sit down together at 9am and officially break the Guinness World Record for biggest cereal breakfast. The record previously stood at just over 200 people.

In a bid to raise money for the school's anniversary charity, Sydenham High girls have been selling balloons to friends and family for the past few weeks in aid of Leukaemia Research, The Bone Cancer Research Charity and Teenage Cancer Trust. At 10am, after the record-breaking breakfast, 3,500 balloons were released, providing a spectacular sight in the Sydenham sky and raising over GBP9,000.

Local signage specialists, Creative FX, have supported the event by buying plenty of balloons and producing a promotional banner. Creative FX Director, Trudy Pook, whose grand-daughter attends the school, was also at the event. "It is a great thing the girls have been doing and they've raised a fantastic amount of money! It's nice for them to be able to do something different for charity and now they'll always be able to remember it since they've made it into the Guinness Book of Records."

Showing his support for the charity fundraising, the Mayor of Lewisham also attended as witness to the cereal record-breaking attempt, along a with camera and film crew to capture the hundreds of balloons filling the sky.

Newborns should be screened for heart defects, study shows

2012-05-02

There is now overwhelming evidence that all babies should be offered screening for heart defects at birth, according to a major new study published online in The Lancet. Heart defects are the most common type of birth defects in the UK. Although newborns often show no visible signs of the condition, if not treated promptly it can be fatal. The research, led by a Queen Mary, University of London academic with a colleague from the University of Birmingham, shows that a non-invasive test called pulse oximetry offers an accurate and cost effective screening tool. Pulse ...

Evidence that BMI has an independent and causal effect on heart disease risk

2012-05-02

In addition to the many risk factors associated with poor health, reducing body mass index (BMI) will have a considerable and independent impact if you want to reduce the risk of developing ischemic heart disease (IHD). This is the key finding from new research, published in PLoS Medicine, which evaluated the causal relationship between BMI and heart disease in 76,000 individuals. BMI, alongside age, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, and individuals who have family history of the disease, has been long recognised as a risk factor ...

Flooring Contractor Figures are Alarming

2012-05-02

According to a recent survey by the National Specialist Contractors Council in association with the School of the Built and Natural Environment at Northumbria University, flooring contractors fear a 'double dip' recession. The survey was carried out at the end of the last quarter of 2011. There has been a significant rise in specialist flooring contractors reporting a severe fall in new contracts being won, at nearly 50% compared to just 37% in the previous quarter. This is an alarming finding, especially as general enquiries have also fallen according to over a third ...

Squid and zebrafish cells inspire camouflaging smart materials

2012-05-02

Researchers from the University of Bristol have created artificial muscles that can be transformed at the flick of a switch to mimic the remarkable camouflaging abilities of organisms such as squid and zebrafish. They demonstrate two individual transforming mechanisms that they believe could be used in 'smart clothing' to trigger camouflaging tricks similar to those seen in nature. The study is published today, 2 May, in IOP Publishing's journal Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, and is accompanied by a video showing the camouflaging in action. "We have taken inspiration ...

Heavy new arguments weigh in on the danger of obesity

2012-05-02

A true obesity epidemic is gradually advancing throughout the developed world. A large new Danish-British study from the University of Copenhagen and University of Bristol documents for the first time a definite correlation between a high BMI and the risk of developing life-threatening cardiac disease. Heart attack, atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries and angina – also called ischemic heart disease – are the most common causes of death in adults worldwide. In the US alone, 500,000 people die each year from heart disease. Now for the first time, researchers can ...

Gene mutation leads to impairment of 2 senses: Touch and hearing

2012-05-02

People with good hearing also have a keen sense of touch; people with impaired hearing generally have an impaired sense of touch. Extensive data supporting this hypothesis was presented by Dr. Henning Frenzel and Professor Gary R. Lewin of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Germany. The two researchers showed that both senses – hearing and touch – have a common genetic basis. In patients with Usher syndrome, a hereditary form of deafness accompanied by impaired vision, they discovered a gene mutation that is also causative for the patients' ...
