official functions Now a new ruling in Moscow is calling for politicians in the capital to stick to the old handshake According to Britain s The Telegraph newspaper politicians in Moscow have been told to stop kissing each other when they meet because the kissing ceremony takes so long Leonid Brezhnev the general secretary of the Communist Party from 1964 to 1982 was famous for treating male colleagues to a full lip lock One photograph of him kissing Erich Honecker the leader of the Democratic Republic of Germany was used for a protest painting on the Berlin Wall with the caption Oh God help me survive this deadly love 3 Kissing three times on the cheeks at official occasions is a Russian tradition The practice has been revived among high ranking officials in past years In the distant past a kiss from the tsar emperor was the highest sign of recognition The Moscow ruling however has prompted authorities in other cities to consider banning the practice Alexei Kleshko a parliament member in Siberia said Single sex kisses should be avoided including at official meetings It s enough to shake hands Of course if one is talking about a long friendship or fatherly relations it might be OK to embrace But that s the maximum that should be allowed Another MP Vladimir Gorlov said he only allowed himself to kiss the hand of a woman at work There are informal

While the trip sounds exciting it would take years and years to reach your destination So in the future bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye They would have to sleep for years European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets If there was an effective technology it could make deep space travel a reality said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month What seems like science fiction is not completely unlikely Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep like state where they don t age They have now moved on to small non hibernating mammals like rats The results will be out by the end of 2004 A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems whereas body organs are far more complex It s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer said Marco Biggiogera a hibernation researcher at Italy s University of Pavia Just like bears and frogs the hibernation of human beings would cause a person s metabolism 新陈代谢 to lower so they would need less energy Medical research however is just half of a space flight hibernation system There is the challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation such as the proper temperature It would also have to monitor 监控 life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator According to Ayre the six person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission to Jupiter s moon 木星的卫星 Callisto could be an opportunity to use human hibernation The mission aims to send six humans on a five year flight to Callisto where they
