Hello there and welcome to Tuesdays edition of the Levy Letter. I was interested to read today that up to 95 publicly-funded theatres across England are to offer free tickets to young adults as part of a £2.5m government-funded scheme. I would be interested to see if any of our local theatres would be getting involved in what hopes to be a really good way to get more people going to the theatre. As of next year until 2011, theatres will offer free tickets, at least once a week, to 18 to 26-year-olds on a first-come, first-served basis. I think this is a really good idea and will encourage our young people to take advantage of the culture available in their cities. Do you think this is a good idea? Let me know what you think by contacting me on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sweet Dreams Now do you suffer from unpleasant dreams? Well fear not as apparently new research from Germany suggests that all you need to ensure sweet dreams is to sleep with flowers in your room. Researchers used the smell of roses under the noses of the sleeping volunteers. They found that the volunteers reported experiencing pleasant emotions in their dreams. When using the smell of rotten eggs, the opposite effect was found. Do you remember the film Jurassic Park? Well it seems that it may be possible to bring extinct animals back. In the case of Jurassic Park, dinosaurs were brought back from extinction but in this case it is an extinct Galapagos tortoise species, which scientists believe could walk again. Researchers have reported finding relatives of Geochelone elephantopus alive and well. By cross-breeding these living tortoises it might re-create the extinct species. However it could take up to a century for this to happen. What do you think? Ive had a lot of responses from viewers regarding GM crops, is it okay to play with nature to try and bring back animals? Let me know. Children in Need Just to remind you that the Children in Need fundraising packs are available.
