Metallica....The Metal Rock Band

-


US rock band Metallica have achieved a new Guinness World Records title after becoming the first musical act to play a concert on all seven of Earth's continents.

The band set the record after they entertained 120 scientists and competition winners in a transparent dome at Carlini Station in Antarctica on Sunday.


Metallica actually performed on all seven continents in a calendar year, following tour dates in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia in 2013.

Sunday's hour-long show, appropriately dubbed "Freeze 'Em All", saw the rock band perform ten tracks including hits such as "One", "Enter Sandman" and "Nothing Else Matters".

Unlike regular Metallica gigs the Antarctica concert was held without traditional amplification due to the icy continent's fragile environment.


Amplifiers were instead enclosed in isolation cabinets, with the sound transmitted to the audience via headphones, similar to "silent discos" sometimes found at music festivals.

The competition to win tickets for the concert was organized in conjunction with Coca-Cola Zero for Metallica fans in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico. The winners were invited on a week-long Antarctic cruise that stopped off at Carlini for the concert on 8 December.

Argentina's Carlini Station is located on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, and is named after the Argentine scientist Alejandro Ricardo Carlini. The station was erected in 1982 and is only accessible by air and water via Base Marambio.


امریکی راک بینڈ میٹیلیکا نے زمین کے ساتوں براعظموں پر کنسرٹ کھیلنے والا پہلا میوزیکل ایکٹ بننے کے بعد ایک نیا گینز ورلڈ ریکارڈ اپنے نام کرلیا ہے۔

 اتوار کے روز انٹارکٹیکا کے کارلینی اسٹیشن میں شفاف گنبد میں 120 سائنس دانوں اور مقابلہ جیتنے والوں کی تفریح ​​کے بعد اس بینڈ نے یہ ریکارڈ قائم کیا۔

 میٹیلیکا نے واقعی ایک ساتی براعظموں پر کیلنڈر سال میں اپنے فن کا مظاہرہ کیا ، اس کے بعد 2013 میں شمالی امریکہ ، جنوبی امریکہ ، یورپ ، افریقہ ، ایشیاء اور آسٹرالیا میں ٹور کی تاریخیں آئیں۔



 اتوار کے ایک گھنٹے تک جاری رہنے والے اس شو میں ، جس کو مناسب طریقے سے "منجمد کریں 'ایم آل" کہا جاتا ہے ، نے دیکھا کہ راک بینڈ نے "ٹریک" جیسے "ون" ، "اینٹ سینڈمین" اور "کچھ اور نہیں معاملات" سمیت دس ٹریک انجام دیئے۔

 میٹیلیکا جِگ کے برخلاف انٹارکٹیکا کنسرٹ بغیر کسی روایتی تخصیص کے برفانی براعظم کے نازک ماحول کی وجہ سے منعقد ہوا۔

 اس کے بجائے یمپلیفائر الگ تھلگ کیبنٹوں میں بند تھے ، آواز ہیڈ فون کے ذریعہ سامعین تک پہنچا دیا گیا ، جیسے "خاموش ڈسکو" کی طرح ہی ہوتا تھا ، کبھی کبھی میوزک فیسٹیولز میں بھی پایا جاتا ہے۔

 کنسرٹ کے لئے ٹکٹ جیتنے کے لئے مقابلہ ارجنٹائن ، چلی ، کولمبیا ، کوسٹا ریکا اور میکسیکو میں میٹالیکا کے شائقین کے لئے کوکا کولا زیرو کے ساتھ مل کر کیا گیا تھا۔  فاتحین کو ایک ہفتہ طویل انٹارکٹک کروز پر مدعو کیا گیا تھا جو کارلینی سے 8 دسمبر کو کنسرٹ کے لئے روانہ ہوا تھا۔


 ارجنٹائن کا کارلینی اسٹیشن انٹارکٹیکا کے جزیرے ، جنوبی شیٹ لینڈ کے کنگ جارج جزیرے پر واقع ہے اور اس کا نام ارجنٹائن کے سائنسدان الیجینڈرو ریکارڈو کارلینی کے نام پر رکھا گیا ہے۔  اس اسٹیشن کو 1982 میں کھڑا کیا گیا تھا اور یہ صرف بیس مرامبیو کے ذریعہ ہوا اور پانی کے ذریعے قابل رسائی تھا۔

Benefits of Exercise. . .ورزش کے فوائد

New research published in the journal Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention shows that exercise like walking may reduce a person's risk for cancer. The researchers found that postmenopausal women who were very active or walked for at least seven hours a week had a reduced risk for breast cancer. The researchers looked at a cohort of 73,615 postmenopausal women who reported their physical activity and found that women who participated in vigorous physical activity every day had a 25% lower risk for breast cancer, and women who walked for at least seven hours a week had a 14% lower risk for breast cancer. Given that 60% of women report some type of daily walking, the researchers say promoting walking as a leisure time activity can have protective benefits for women. Even without any other forms of exercise, women who walk had higher chances of keeping breast cancer at bay. Walking could be as beneficial to the body than say running and swimming. Research loo...

The Hagia Sophia.....

The Hagia Sophia , whose name means “holy wisdom,” is a domed monument originally built as a cathedral in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey ) in the sixth century A.D. It contains two floors centered on a giant nave that has a great dome ceiling, along with smaller domes, towering above. “Hagia Sophia’s dimensions are formidable for any structure not built of steel,” writes Helen Gardner and Fred Kleiner in their book "Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Global History." “In plan it is about 270 feet [82 meters] long and 240 feet [73 meters] wide. The dome is 108 feet [33 meters] in diameter and its crown rises some 180 feet [55 meters] above the pavement.” In its 1,400 year life-span it has served as a cathedral, mosque and now a museum. When it was first constructed, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire. This state, officially Christian, originally formed the eastern half of the Roman Empire and carried on after the fall of Rome. F...

Eyes Blinking

Scientists have shown that the average person blinks 15-20 times per minute. That's up to 1,200 times per hour and a whopping 28,800 times in a day—much more often than we need to keep our eyeballs lubricated. In fact, we spend about 10 percent of our waking hours with our eyes closed. So why do we blink so much? New research from Japan's Osaka University found that blinking may serve as a form of momentary rest for the brain, giving the mind a chance to wander and "go offline." These brief breaks may last just a split second, or even a few seconds. When our brains aren't concentrated on a task, brain regions known as the "default mode network" come alive, allowing our mind to switch into an idle mode—a phenomenon researchers discovered decades ago. But how does blinking affect this idle state? According to the new research, blinking and the brain at rest go hand in hand. In order to understand this phenomenon, scientists monitored the brain activity of ...
