SYDNEY, May 20 (Xinhua) -- The countdown has begun for the world's largest light, music and ideas festival, Vivid Sydney.
The 23-night extravaganza kicks off on May 27 in the Australian city of Sydney and will feature more than 80 light installations, 1,500 hours of programmed music and 170 creative events.
New South Wales (NSW) state tourism minister Stuart Ayres said in a note on Friday the festival is the biggest major event NSW state puts on all year.
"For the first time, the world of Australian indigenous art will be celebrated on the Sydney Opera House sails, installations will illuminate the Royal Botanic Garden and Taronga Zoo, while our first indoor venue, The Galeries on George Street will also join the festival," Ayres said.
"We also have two world-firsts at Darling Harbour with the Vivid Laser-Dragon Water-Theatre's 13-meter robotic arm, and Intel's 'Eyes on the Harbour' Real Sense water theatre face projection."
Destination NSW chief executive Sandra Chipchase said it would also be the longest Vivid yet.
"Vivid Sydney's world-class line up has something to inspire and entertain everyone, from families wanting a night out to visitors looking for new ways to explore the city after dark," Chipchase said.
"At the same time, music lovers and those seeking to ignite their creative juices through thought-provoking discussions and creative collaborations will find inspiration at Vivid."
The work of 30 Chinese artisans will also be showcased at Sydney's Taronga Zoo for the festival.
The artisans from the city of Zigong in China's Sichuan Province worked hard to construct 43 animal shaped lanterns for the festival.
WASHINGTON Colton Parayko Youth Jersey , May 19 (Xinhua) -- People are more likely to marry those who have similar DNA, a U.S. study finds, revealing genetics may also play a role in the so-called assortative mating.
It is well established that individuals are more similar to their spouses than other individuals on important traits, including religion, age Carter Hutton Youth Jersey , race, income, body type and education, among others. The genetic similarity between spouses, however Jake Allen Youth Jersey , is less well understood.
In the new study, published in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Monday, researchers from University of Colorado Boulder examined the genomes of 825 non- Hispanic white American couples.
They looked specifically at 1.7 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms, which are places in their DNA that are known to commonly differ among humans, in each person's genome.
The researchers found that there were fewer differences in the DNA between married people than between two randomly selected individuals.
The researchers also compared the magnitude of the genetic similarity between married people to the magnitude of the better- studied phenomenon of people with similar education marrying Kyle Brodziak Youth Jersey , known as educational assortative mating.
They found that the preference for a genetically similar spouse, known as genetic assortative mating, is about a third of the strength of educational assortative mating.
"The findings could have implications for statistical models now used by scientists to understand genetic differences between human populations because such models often assume random mating," the researchers said in a statement.
"The study also forms a foundation for future research that could explore whether similar results are found between married people of other races, whether people also choose genetically similar friends Alex Pietrangelo Youth Jersey , and whether there are instances when people prefer mates whose DNA is actually more different rather than more similar," they added.
