Article 16
Δεν πρέπει να κοιμάσαι στο αεροπλάνο και γιατί;
Όπως αναφέρουν οι ερευνητές της Ιατρικής Σχολής του Harvard, οι επιβάτες των αεροπλάνων δεν πρέπει να κοιμούνται κατά την απογείωση και την προσγείωση.
Σχετική έρευνα αποκάλυψε πως όσοι κοιμούνται κατά την διάρκεια μιας πτήσης ενώ το σκάφος αλλάζει ύψος, το σώμα του επιβάτη δεν είναι σε θέση να εξισορροπήσει την πίεση στο αυτί του, πράγμα που μπορεί να προκαλέσει μόνιμο πρόβλημα.
Για την πλειονότητα των ανθρώπων, η ξαφνική αλλαγή ύψους προκαλεί πόνο στα αυτιά. Αυτό συμβαίνει διότι η πίεση που δέχεται στο εξωτερικό του αυτιού δεν ταιριάζει με εκείνη του εσωτερικού.
Τι κάνουμε όταν το παθαίνουμε αυτό; Χασμουριόμαστε ή μασάμε! Αν κοιμάσαι, όμως, η πίεση δεν αλλάζει και έτσι, μπορεί να προκληθεί ζημιά.
Συνήθως, αυτή η πίεση μπορεί να εξισορροπηθεί είτε με χασμουρητό είτε με την κατάποση είτε με μάσημα- γι ‘αυτό οι αεροσυνοδοί μερικές φορές προσφέρουν τσίχλα ή καραμέλα πριν από την προσγείωση.
Σε ακραίες περιπτώσεις μπορεί αναπτυχθεί λοίμωξη που προκαλεί τη δημιουργία υγρού πίσω από το τύμπανο, προξενώντας έντονο πόνο και ακουστικά προβλήματα.

O Κήπος Σεμινάρια και η Κινηματογραφική Λέσχη Solaris
σας προσκαλούν στη ΔΩΡΕΑΝ προβολή της ταινίας
την Τρίτη 17 Απριλίου 2018 στις 19:00
Θα ακολουθήσει συζήτηση που θα συντονίσει ο Γιάννης Φραγκούλης
O Κήπος Σεμινάρια και η Κινηματογραφική Λέσχη Solaris σας προσκαλούν στη δωρεάν προβολή της εμβληματικής ταινίας του γερμανού σκηνοθέτη Φριτς Λανγκ «Μετρόπολις» (1927, 153’), που θα γίνει την Τρίτη 17 Απριλίου 2018 στις 19:00 στη «σκοτεινή αίθουσα» στον ισόγειο χώρο του Κήπου.
Μετά το πέρας της προβολής, θα γίνει ανάλυση της ταινίας και συζήτηση με το κοινό, που θα συντονίσει ο Γιάννης Φραγκούλης (κριτικός και θεωρητικός του κινηματογράφου και των παραστατικών τεχνών).
Στις 10 Ιανουαρίου του 1927, στο Βερολίνο, προβλήθηκε για πρώτη φορά η ταινία «Μετρόπολις» του Φριτς Λανγκ η οποία μέχρι και σήμερα εξακολουθεί να εντυπωσιάζει με το μεγαλείο των εικόνων της και την πρωτοπορία της. Είναι η πρώτη μεγάλου μήκους ταινία επιστημονικής φαντασίας και χωρίς αμφιβολία, έχει επηρεάσει περισσότερο από οποιαδήποτε άλλη, το κινηματογραφικό φάσμα του είδους και όχι μόνο. Στην ταινία αναπαριστάται μία πόλη, όπου οι ταξικοί διαχωρισμοί είναι και γεωγραφικοί. Στο πάνω μέρος της, ζουν οι πλούσιοι και απολαμβάνουν τις χαρές της ζωής. Το τοπίο είναι όμορφο και οι άνθρωποι είναι χαρούμενοι. Στο υπόγειο μέρος της, ζουν οι εργάτες και οι φτωχοί. Αυτοί οι τελευταίοι λειτουργούν τις μηχανές για να παραμένει η Μητρόπολη ζωντανή και να απολαμβάνουν οι άλλοι την ομορφιά της φύσης. Ο γιος του συντονιστή αυτής της κατάστασης αντιδρά όταν βλέπει τι γίνεται.
Η Κινηματογραφική Λέσχη Solaris ιδρύθηκε από το Γιάννη Φραγκούλη το 2001 στην Αθήνα, ενώ το 2010 μεταφέρθηκε στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Το 2018 έχει ξεκινήσει τον τρίτο της κύκλο. Σ’ αυτήν την περίοδό της, έχει μετατραπεί σε Λέσχη ανάγνωσης του κινηματογράφου. Σε συνεργασία με το κοινωνικό εργαστήρι Κήπος διοργανώνουν από κοινού σειρά δωρεάν προβολών ταινιών, όπου μετά από κάθε προβολή ακολουθεί συζήτηση με το κινηματογραφόφιλο κοινό και ανάλυση της ταινίας.

In-Edit στη Θεσσαλονίκη με Bowie, Grace Jones, Rolling Stones, Clapton, Sepultura, John Coltrane, Johnny Rotten, Placebo, Λ.Πλάτωνος
18-22 Απριλίου 2018, στις Αίθουσες Ολύμπιον & Παύλος Ζάννας
LEONHARD FOEGER / REUTERSΤο μεγαλύτερο φεστιβάλ μουσικού κινηματογράφου στον κόσμο επιστρέφει για πέμπτη χρονιά στη Θεσσαλονίκη: David Bowie, Grace Jones, Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Sepultura, John Coltrane, Johnny Rotten, Placebo και Λένα Πλάτωνος είναι μερικοί μόνο από τους πρωταγωνιστές της φετινής διοργάνωσης!
Πριν 15 χρόνια διοργανώθηκε για πρώτη φορά στη Βαρκελώνη ένα φεστιβάλ που σκοπό είχε να αναδείξει ένα κινηματογραφικό είδος που το ευρύ κοινό αγνοούσε: το μουσικό ντοκιμαντέρ. Πριν 5 χρόνια και έχοντας ταξιδέψει σε δεκάδες πόλεις του κόσμου, ήρθε για πρώτη φορά στη Θεσσαλονίκη για να παρουσιάσει στο κοινό της πόλης μερικές από τις σπουδαιότερες μουσικές ιστορίες. Φέτος, γιορτάζει τα 15 του χρόνια και λίγο πριν προσγειωθεί για πρώτη φορά στο Άμστερνταμ, το IN-EDIT, το μεγαλύτερο φεστιβάλ μουσικού ντοκιμαντέρ στον κόσμο, επιστρέφει σε μία από τις αγαπημένες του πόλεις με ένα πρόγραμμα συναρπαστικό, τόσο μέσα όσο και έξω από τις κινηματογραφικές αίθουσες.
Από τις 18 μέχρι τις 22 Απριλίου, για 5 ημέρες, οι 2 σημαντικότερες κινηματογραφικές αίθουσες της Θεσσαλονίκης γίνονται το σημείο συνάντησης όσων αγαπούν την μουσική και τον κινηματογράφο.
DAVE J HOGAN VIA GETTY IMAGESΗ έναρξη του φεστιβάλ θα γίνει την Τετάρτη, 18 Απριλίου με ένα special event που περιλαμβάνει και την προβολή του David Bowie: The last five years, μία συναρπαστική αφήγηση των τελευταίων πέντε χρόνων της ζωής ενός από τους επιδραστικότερους μουσικούς του 20ου αιώνα. Πριν την προβολή, οι Sakis Korovessis και Scoot Boy θα είναι στο φουαγιέ του Ολύμπιον για ένα dj set που θα δώσει τον τόνο για όσα θα ακολουθήσουν ενώ μετά τη λήξη, οι Ta Toy Boy, παίρνουν τη σκυτάλη για να ντύσουν μουσικά την πρώτη βραδιά του φεστιβάλ που λατρεύει την μουσική και τον κινηματογράφο.
ANDREA DE SILVA / REUTERSΤις επόμενες ημέρες, το IN-EDIT ταξιδεύει με τους Rolling Stones στη Λατινική Αμερική για μία ιστορική περιοδεία (The Rolling Stones Olé, Olé, Olé!: A Trip Across Latin America), συναντά την Grace Jones, μία από τις εκκεντρικότερες γυναικείες φιγούρες της παγκόσμιας μουσικής (Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami), ακολουθεί τις γεμάτες πάθος συγχορδίες του Eric Clapton (Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars), διασχίζει τη Ρωσία με τους Placebo στην επέτειο των 20 χρόνων τους (PLACEBO: ALT. RUSSIA) και συζητά με τον Johnny Rotten, frontman των θρυλικών Sex Pistols, για τη ζωή μετά τη διάλυση του συγκροτήματος, στο ολοκαίνουριο The Public Image is Rotten. Οι Sepultura, ίσως το σημαντικότερο χέβι μέταλ συγκρότημα της δεκαετίας του ’90, αφηγούνται την ιστορία τους (Sepultura Endurance), το Yallah! Underground αναζητά τους καλλιτέχνες που διαμορφώνουν τη σημερινή underground μουσική σκηνή της Μέσης Ανατολής ενώ το Score, φέρνει στο φως τους συνθέτες μερικών από τις πλέον αναγνωρίσιμες μουσικές συνθέσεις, αναδεικνύοντας τον πρωταγωνιστή των μεγαλύτερων κινηματογραφικών παραγωγών: την μουσική!
Το πρόγραμμα συμπληρώνεται με τρεις σπουδαίες ταινίες για τρεις σπουδαίους τζαζίστες: στο I called him Morgan ξεδιπλώνεται η σύντομη καριέρα του τρομπετίστα Lee Morgan, που δολοφονήθηκε από τη σύζυγό του σε ηλικία 33 ετών, στο Bill Evans: Time Remembered, συντίθεται το παζλ της ζωής του επιδραστικότερου ίσως πιανίστα της τζαζ σκηνής, Bill Evans, ενώ το Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane documentary είναι ένας φόρος τιμής στον σαξοφωνίστα που αμφισβήτησε και άλλαξε τους κανόνες της τζαζ μουσικής.
Ειδική θέση στο πρόγραμμα του φετινού προγράμματος, έχει το ντοκιμαντέρ Λπ: A Film about Lena Platonos καθώς όχι μόνο εκπροσωπεί την ελληνική παραγωγή μουσικών ντοκιμαντέρ, αλλά γίνεται και η αφορμή για ένα μοναδικό doc alive. Το doc alive είναι η πιο αγαπητή ενότητα του IN-EDIT, καθώς στη διάρκειά του, μετά την προβολή του ντοκιμαντέρ, ο πρωταγωνιστής “βγαίνει” από την οθόνη και παίζει ζωντανά στη σκηνή. Αυτή τη φορά, η Λένα Πλάτωνος, μία από τις σημαντικότερες εκπροσώπους της ελληνικής ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής, έρχεται στη Θεσσαλονίκη για να παίξει ζωντανά στο κοινό του IN-EDIT, το Σάββατο 21 Απριλίου στις 20:00.
Όσο συναρπαστικές όμως είναι οι μουσικές του IN-EDIT μέσα στην κινηματογραφική αίθουσα, άλλο τόσο συναρπαστικές είναι εκτός, γι’ αυτό και από το πρόγραμμα του φεστιβάλ δεν θα μπορούσαν να λείπουν τα πάρτυ! Το πρώτο ραντεβού δίνεται την Κυριακή 15 Απριλίου στο Στόρι (Ολύμπου 87) για το καθιερωμένο πια Soundcheck Party, στη διάρκεια του οποίου, το πρόγραμμα του φεστιβάλ παρουσιάζεται σε μορφή soundcheck και το IN-EDIT δοκιμάζει τους ήχους του λίγο πρίν την έναρξη. Την Πέμπτη 19 Απριλίου, μετά την πρώτη προβολή του Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami, το IN-EDIT κατευθύνεται στο μπαρ Miss Blanche (Στ. Καλαρη 6) για ένα μουσικό αφιέρωμα στην μοναδική περφόμερ και ερμηνεύτρια ενώ το βράδυ της Παρασκευής, οι ραδιοφωνικοί παραγωγοί του Imagine 89,7 παίρνουν θέση στο φουαγιέ του Ολύμπιον για να επιλέξουν τα δικά τους αγαπημένα κομμάτια από τη φετινή playlist του IN-EDIT. Το Σάββατο του IN-EDIT είναι αφιερωμένο στη Λένα Πλάτωνος και μετά το doc Alive, θα βρεθεί στο Υψιλον (Εδέσσης 5) για ένα μεγάλο πάρτυ αφιερωμένο στην πρωτοπόρο της ελληνικής ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής. Πέντε ημέρες γεμάτες μουσική ολοκληρώνονται με ακόμη περισσότερη μουσική, το βράδυ της Κυριακής, στην Εφημερίδα (Φιλικής Εταιρίας 11), για το πάρτυ λήξης και βέβαια την ανανέωση του ραντεβού ανάμεσα στο IN-EDIT και τη Θεσσαλονίκη, για του χρόνου!!

Drinking just one extra glass of wine or pint of beer a week could shorten your life by 30 minutes, according to a major new study
Shutterstock- Drinking just one extra glass of wine or pint of beer over the recommended weekly limit could cut life expectancy by 30 minutes.
- That's according to a major new international study published in The Lancet medical journal.
- The study found that the threshold for lowest risk of mortality was about 100g per week.
- That's just five standard 175ml glasses of wine or five pints a week.
Bad news for casual drinkers — just one extra glass of wine or beer over the recommended weekly limit could cut your life expectancy by 30 minutes, according to a major new study.
Published this week in The Lancet medical journal, the study looked at how alcohol consumption guidelines vary substantially across the globe.
In the US, the suggested limit for men is 196g per week — about 11 standard glasses of wine or pints of beer — while it's 98g per week for women.
Meanwhile, the guidelines are almost 50% higher in Italy, Portugal, and Spain, while in the UK they're almost 50% lower.
With the aim of helping to formulate an evidence-based alcohol policy, the study looked at individual-participant data from 83 long-term studies across 19 high-income countries in order to better define the alcohol thresholds associated with the lowest risk or mortality and cardiovascular disease.
599,912 drinkers with no previous cardiovascular disease were categorised into eight groups according to the amount of alcohol — in grams — they consumed per week.
AP Photo/Israel LealThe study then assessed alcohol consumption in relation to "all-cause mortality" and cardiovascular disease, as well as a number of subtypes.
It found that the threshold for lowest risk of mortality was about 100g per week — which works out at just five standard 175ml glasses of wine or five pints a week.
This is despite the fact that 50% of participants reported drinking more than 100g of alcohol per week, and 8·4% drank more than 350g per week.
Men who reported drinking less than 100g alcohol per week had about a 1-2 years longer life expectancy at age 40 than those who reported drinking 196g per week, while women who reported drinking above either the UK threshold (112g per week) or US threshold (98g per week) had about 1.3 years shorter life expectancy at age 40 than women who reported drinking below the thresholds.
The study found that drinking more than 100g per week raised the risk of stroke, fatal aneurysm, heart failure, and death.
The analysis also suggested that drinkers of beer or spirits, as well as binge drinkers, had the highest risk for mortality.
Risks 'comparable to smoking'
According to a leading scientist speaking to The Guardian, the risks for a 40-year-old drinking over the recommended daily limit were comparable to smoking.
"Above two units a day, the death rates steadily climb," said David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge.
"The paper estimates a 40-year-old drinking 4 units a day above the guidelines [the equivalent of drinking three glasses of wine in a night] has roughly two years' lower life expectancy, which is around a twentieth of their remaining life. This works out at about an hour per day. So it's as if each unit above guidelines is taking, on average, about 15 minutes of life, about the same as a cigarette."
Tim Chico, professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Sheffield, said that the study "makes clear that on balance there are no health benefits from drinking alcohol, which is usually the case when things sound too good to be true," while Professor Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, added that the study is "a serious wakeup call for many countries."
The study concluded: "These data support adoption of lower limits of alcohol consumption than are recommended in most current guidelines."

The Wailers Spark Up Interest In Reggae With Catch a Fire
1973The Wailers, led by Bob Marley, release their fifth studio album, Catch a Fire. The first album on their new label, Island Records, it makes Marley and the Wailers international recording stars and brings reggae music to the forefront.
The motivation for the album is desperation. It is not desperation for fame: the band was stranded in England. Marley and his bandmates Peter Tosh and Lee Perry were left there after their tour with fellow reggae singer, Johnny Nash, came to an abrupt halt. Nash and co-founder of JoDa Records, Danny Sims, bolted back to the US after getting word that sales of their 1972 hit, "I Can See Clearly Now," had begun to drop.
With no money for the airfare back to Kingston, Marley visits Chris Blackwell at his London music studio. Blackwell was born in England but grew up in Jamaica and already knew about the Wailers. After hearing about Marley's dilemma, he fronts the band 8,000 pounds under the condition that they record an album for his Island label.
Blackwell reworks the band's sound, adds background vocals, and creates the reggae-rock sound that becomes the hallmark of the Wailers. The sixth track of the album, "Stir it Up," is an ode that Marley had written for his wife, Rita, in 1967. Nash recorded the song the previous year, taking it to #12 in America and #13 in the UK.
The memorable original album cover is designed to look like a giant Zippo lighter. Opening the cover reveals the inner workings of the lighter, complete with blazing wick. This cover is scrapped after the first 20,000 printings due to cost concerns and is replaced by something less subtle: a photo of Marley puffing away on a joint.

Everything We Know
About Birds That Glow
Owls, puffins, and lots of other flying friends exhibit
fascinating patterns under blacklights.
TONY DIAMOND CAN’T REMEMBER EXACTLY why he first shone a blacklight on a puffin. It was around 2010 or 2011, and the ecology professor was helping a graduate student investigate some questions about beak coloration. “For some reason, a colleague had brought a UV light,” he says now. “We thought, ‘Well, why don’t we see what happens.’” So they pointed the light at the bird in question—a preserved specimen—and switched it on.
“We got a big surprise,” Diamond says. Under the blacklight, parts of the bird’s beak glowed brightly, as though it had been striped with fluorescent paint. Earlier this year, when another researcher, Jamie Dunning, posted photos of a similar discovery on Twitter, a CBC reporter compared the puffin’s shiny nose with “a freshly cracked glowstick.” “Puffins are lit,” wrote one fan. “The most scene animals,” agreed another.
Such a glowy nose is certainly impressive. But if you threw a best-dressed contest at an all-bird disco, puffins would have some competition. As it turns out, a lot of avian species—from parrots and penguins to owls and nightjars—glow in ways we can’t see. What’s more, they do so using at least two different methods—and for a whole lot of different reasons, some of which remain mysterious to researchers.
To properly understand bird glowiness, you have to first understand ultraviolet light, and the various ways in which it makes things visible. Because of how the human eye is constructed, we can only see light made up of wavelengths that fall within what we call the “visible spectrum.” This ranges from about 390 nanometers, which appears purple to us, to 700 nanometers, which appears red.
Ultraviolet (or UV) light is shorter than that—it ranges from about 100 to 400 nanometers. We can’t see it, but a fair number of birds can access at least some of this part of the spectrum. Studies have shown that seeing in UV helps birds with all kinds of tasks, from finding food to differentiating their own eggs from those of nest parasites. Some, like grouses, use it to more effectively forage for bilberries, which start reflecting UV light when they’re ripe. Others, like kestrels, may use it to track voles, which apparently mark their paths with bright yellow trails of UV-saturated urine (although this finding has been subjected to recent scrutiny).*
This brings us to the first type of secret bird brightness: UV reflection. “There are probably thousands of species of birds that have UV reflective patches on their plumage,” explains naturalist Scott Weidensaul. These include starlings, many tropical songbirds, and a whole lot of types of parrot. It’s difficult for us to imagine exactly what this looks like to the birds—because we can’t see in UV, the sensory experience is inaccessible to us—but researchers with spectrometers have determined that these patches play a huge role in bird society.
A male and female parrot that look identical to us, for example, might have UV patterns that make them look vastly different to each other. This influences mate selection—female blue tits, for example, prefer males with crests shined up with UV. And such signalling remains helpful even after the babies are made: many chicks have ultraviolet markings around their beaks, so that their parents know where to put the worms.
This, however, is not what’s happening with the puffins. They are displaying a different type of glowy phenomenon: fluorescence. There are certain substances that, when exposed to UV light, absorb it rather than reflecting it. They then emit visible light in response, often in a surprising color. When you shine a blacklight at something and it suddenly pops, that’s because it contains materials of this kind.
Fluorescence, too, is not uncommon in the bird world. King and emperor penguins have glowing beaks, says Diamond, as do at least a few other species. (This articlefeatures a UV-illuminated crested auklet, its nose a vibrant orange.) Many parrots have fluorescent plumage, which, when combined with their UV-reflective patches, add even more pep to their mating displays.
Most owl species have fluorescent wings, a quirk that was also discovered accidentally, by a rat researcher named Bruce Colvin in the early 1980s. Colvin—who had fed rats a fluorescent material as part of an unrelated experiment—was shining a blacklight on owl pellets looking for glowing rodent bones when he noticed that the owls glowed, too.
“He quickly figured out that the fluorescence in the wing feathers correlates with the age of the feathers,” says Weidensaul (who, with Colvin and a few others, later published an article about the technique). New feathers glow brightly, while older ones have lost some of their pigments, and so appear darker or duller under the blacklight.
Now most researchers who band and track owls take a moment to check their age under a blacklight. “It’s a combination of serious ornithology and a cheap party trick,” he adds. “You turn off the lights, you turn on the blacklight, you show the owl’s wing, and it’s glowing this raspberry pink.” (Other owls, he he adds, shine a deep blue or lavender instead, and snowy owls, lacking the correct pigment, don’t glow at all.)
We may be able to see fluorescence under blacklights, and marshal it for our own research purposes. But in most cases, we’re not quite sure what the birds themselves use it for. Unlike, say, parrots, owls probably can’t even tell that their feathers are glowing—the moon doesn’t emit enough UV light to kick off the fluorescent effect.
The puffin beaks present a similar mystery, one that researchers have just begun trying to solve. “They will see this differently than we do,” says Diamond. “But we don’t know how they see it, because we’re not puffins.” No matter how hard we try to imitate them at Burning Man.
