Space travel helps kids to an improved sleep.
Sleep is important to all people and especially to kids. It is essential to their well-being and growth. Many parents focus heavily on their children sleeping habits. It has an appreciable influence on the well-being of the entire family if the children sleep soundly through the night. During sleep, the child rests and regains the energy it needs for a new day. But sleep does more than just restore energy. It helps the child process the numerous impressions of life through dreams. Sleep is essential to a child's well-being and growth. Practically, the entire production of the all-important growth hormone for one day takes place during the first hours of sleep.
Infants sleep lightly and go from light to deep sleep every hour. Older kids perspire a lot and tend to kick off their quilt - subsequently feeling too cold. Small and frequent disturbances lead to an uneasy sleep. Often, the parents will wake up too and have their sleep disrupted.
Improved sleep through space technology
Technology that helps astronauts maintain a steady body temperature during space walks now helps kids to a better sleep .
Once the astronauts leave the space shuttle to move around in space, they are exposed to huge variations in temperature – from extreme heat on the sunny side to bitter cold on the shady side! Inside the space suit, an Outlast® coating provides control of the astronaut's body temperature.
The TempraKON® baby/junior quilt, which has been further developed by the Danish quilt manufacturers Quilts of Denmark, works in the same way. The down filling absorbs the sweat whereas the TempraKON® coating absorbs excess body heat and releases it again once the body temperature drops. Not only is the body temperature kept steady throughout the night. It is also maintained at the most natural sleeping temperature, which is a little lower than normal day temperature. For TempraKON® to work as efficiently as possible, you should build an entire nest with quilt, pillow and mattress. Quilts of Denmark has developed a special foam mattress for kids which has a layer of down on top and the TempraKON® coating underneath. The surface of the foam mattress is similar to that of an egg tray, providing good air circulation and like that helping the kid to get rid of sweat.
The TempraKON® technology uses the body's own energy for the temperature control. Technically speaking, the Outlast® material consists of numerous microscopic, liquid-filled capsules. When the body temperature is too high, the liquid will absorb excess heat from the body and become fluid. Once the body cools off, the liquid solidifies and releases the heat back to the body. The kid's range of products comprises a baby-size quilt with pillow and a junior-size quilt, which also comes with a pillow. Distributed through specialists, department stores and BabySam.
Quilts of Denmark has been awarded the Space Certificate by The Space Foundation for further developing space technology for use in new products. TempraKON® is patented worldwide.

Beethoven
Beethoven is esteemed as one of the greatest composers in the history of music.Beethoven's hearing loss did not affect his ability to compose music. As an interesting side note, he used a special rod attached to the soundboard on a piano that he could bite, the vibrations would then transfer from the piano to his jaw to increase his perception of sound. A large collection of his hearing aids such as special ear horns can be viewed at the Beethoven House Museum in Bonn, Germany.The Beethoven Orchestra
The Beethoven Orchestra of is one of the most important "ambassadors" of Bonn's culture, meanwhile successfully promoting the city’s musical image abroad. The orchestra with its 106 members counts among the best ones in Germany. It contributes in an important way to the artistic success of the Beethoven Festivals, which have taken place since 1927.Beethoven Festival Bonn
With over fifty concerts each year performed by top international orchestras, eminent ensembles, prominent soloists and promising young artists, plus the fact that it lasts for nearly four weeks during September and October, the Beethovenfest Bonn has developed into a big musical event attracting interest far beyond the Rhineland. A feature of the festival, which takes place in Bonn and at charming venues in the surrounding area, is the way in which it compares and contrasts the work of Beethoven and the music of his time with that of subsequent centuries and the present. The festival focuses each year on a different European country with its musical and cultural history.The Beethovenfest also dedicates itself with great success to educational projects for children and young people and seeks to network with the many cultural institutions in the city of Bonn. The Artists in Residence scheme presents musicians who specialise in Beethoven’s work in particular. The festival’s own concert and stage productions focus on new means of artistic communication. In addition, the Beethovenfest Bonn commissions works every year.
The tradition of the Beethovenfest in Bonn goes back to the year 1845, when a three-day long music festival to dedicate the Beethoven monument took place in the Münsterplatz on the occasion of the composer’s 75th birthday.
The Beethoven Festival 2007 will take place from 24 August to 23 September.

The 20 Year Death Cycle Of American Presidents
The 20 year death cycle appears to be more than just coincidence....
Based on this 20 year death cycle, many astrologers correctly predicted the death of President John F Kennedy when he was elected in 1960. Similarly, it was expected that President Reagan would also die in office, which almost came to pass with the attempted assassination on March 30, 1981.
| President Elected In | Died |
| 1800 | Survived: Died |
| 1820 | Survived: Died |
| 1840, | |
| 1860, | |
| 1880, | |
| 1900, McKinley | |
| 1920, Harding | |
| 1940, | |
| 1960, Kennedy | |
| 1980, Reagan | Survived: |
Thus, the 20 year death cycle anticipated the re-election of these presidents to the oval office.
