LONDON, ENGLAND, November 07, 2012 (Press-News.org) Throughout the Christmas season, Hyde Park will again transform into the festive hotspot, Winter Wonderland. Last year it welcomed over 2 million visitors during its seven week run. Millennium & Copthorne Hotels have hotels near Hyde Park London all conveniently located in central locations, with easy access to Hyde Park and other festive attractions.
This year, Winter Wonderland is set to be bigger and better than ever, with attractions including the UK's largest ice rink and Zippos Circus, featuring jugglers, clowns and aerialists. Thrill seekers should visit Zippos Cirque Beserk, which includes the daring 'Globe of Death', knife throwing and high-wire performances. There is also an observation wheel which travels 60 metres into the air and allows 360 degree views of the park and beyond.
The park will offer a huge selection of seasonal food and drink; there are many bars, chalets and cafes, as well the well-known Bavarian Village, which will house restaurants including Spiegel's Saloon and bars serving up Christmas treats, such as mince pies and warm mulled wine. The Christmas Market is another popular attraction, where you can pick up gifts and decorations for the festive season.
The Magical Ice Kingdom also returns for another year, it has taken four months to sculpt and contains over 200 tonnes of ice. Visitors are able to wander through the kingdom to see glittering ice sculptures before sliding down into the ice castle!

Earth on acid: The present & future of global acidification
2012-11-06
Boulder, CO, USA – Climate change and extreme weather events grab the headlines, but there is another, lesser known, global change underway on land, in the seas, and in the air: acidification.
It turns out that combustion of fossil fuels, smelting of ores, mining of coal and metal ores, and application of nitrogen fertilizer to soils are all driving down the pH of the air, water, and the soil at rates far faster than Earth's natural systems can buffer, posing threats to both land and sea life.
"It's a bigger picture than most of us know," says Janet Herman of the Department ...
Rate of heart disease risk factors vary across Hispanic/Latino background groups
2012-11-06
SAN DIEGO – (Monday, November 5, 2012) – Heart disease risk factors are widespread among Hispanic/Latino adults in the United States, with 80 percent of men and 71 percent of women having at least one risk factor for heart disease, according to a San Diego State University study funded by the National Institutes of Health. These percentages are much higher than the general population, where approximately 49 percent of adults have at least one major risk factor for heart disease and stroke.
Findings from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), ...
Telltale visible signs of aging may predict heart disease
2012-11-06
If you look old, your heart may feel old, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012.
In a new study, those who had three to four aging signs — receding hairline at the temples, baldness at the head's crown, earlobe crease, or yellow fatty deposits around the eyelid (xanthelasmata) — had a 57 percent increased risk for heart attack and a 39 percent increased risk for heart disease.
"The visible signs of aging reflect physiologic or biological age, not chronological age, and are independent of chronological age," said ...
High blood pressure in young adults likely to go undiagnosed
2012-11-06
Adults 18-24 years old with high blood pressure were 28 percent less likely to be diagnosed during doctor visits than those 60 and older, according to findings presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012.
"These young patients come to the clinic and their blood pressure is recorded," said Heather Johnson, M.D., lead researcher of the study. "They have high blood pressure, but there's no documentation of a diagnosis. We wanted to find out why."
Researchers examined electronic health records of 13,593 men and women who were at least 18 years ...
Heart-related deaths increase in winter regardless of climate
2012-11-06
No matter what climate you live in, you're more likely to die of heart-related issues in the winter, according to research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012.
"This was surprising because climate was thought to be the primary determinant of seasonal variation in death rates," said Bryan Schwartz, M.D., lead author of the study.
Researchers at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles analyzed 2005-08 death certificate data from seven U.S. locations with different climates: Los Angeles County, Calif.; Texas; Arizona; Georgia; Washington; ...
Drug trio improved effectiveness of cancer treatment, protected heart
2012-11-06
Combining cancer medication with a drug for erectile dysfunction and one for heart transplants helped kill cancer cells and protected the heart from damage, in a study presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2012.
For decades, doxorubicin has been a powerful anti-cancer treatment for various human cancers, including breast, ovarian, colon and prostate. But its use has been limited due to harmful, possibly irreversible effects on the heart.
In this study, using cell and animal models, researchers found that sildenafil alone or in combination with ...
2011 Virginia quake triggered landslides at extraordinary distances
2012-11-06
The 2011 Mineral, Virginia M-5.8 earthquake was felt over an extraordinarily large area. A new study details landslides triggered by the earthquake at distances four times greater and over an area 20 times larger than previously documented for M-5.8 earthquakes worldwide.
The study, to be published in the December issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (BSSA), describes physical confirmation of previous observations that ground shaking from earthquakes in the eastern U.S. travels farther than in the western U.S, a plate-boundary region.
U.S. ...
Surprising findings from NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project reported
2012-11-06
A multi-institutional team of researchers has sequenced the DNA of 6,700 exomes, the portion of the genome that contains protein-coding genes, as part of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-funded Exome Sequencing Project, one of the largest medical sequencing studies ever undertaken.
Scientists participating in the project initially expected that individual rare variants would have a greater effect on over 80 heart, lung and blood related traits and diseases of high public health significance, said Suzanne M. Leal, Ph.D., professor and director, Center ...
