Olympics 2008 kicks off at Beijing

Olympics 2008 has been started yesterday with a colorful opening ceremony held at Bird's nest in Beijing. The ceremony was pretty colorful with lot of fireworks used in the opening ceremony. The Olympic torch finally carried by the Chinese gymnastic Li Ning. The opening ceremony started at August 8^th at 8 pm 8 sec. this date was chosen since this type of arrangement will come on next 3008^th year only. Indian team is lead by the silver medalist Rajyavarathan Singh Rathore since the only person to grab a medal for India in 2004 Olympics. This time India has sent a full fledged team to capture as many medals as possible. But until there is politics is in the sports department India will never get into the world ranking list. Lets see what happens for the next three weeks.

Luggage

In this mobile world, everyone is moving very fast in their daily routine life. They need to travel from places to places. Their purpose of visit may be official or personal. If we move for an official work the amount of luggage we are going to carry will be less and a carry bags is enough for them to get all the things packed up because official works will take only one or two days only to finish our work.

On the other hand if we visit for personal use, mostly we will go to meet our relatives and friends or we might go on a jolly tour and at that time we might be going out of station for a week, on that time the amount of things we need to pack might be larger and larger carry-on might be needed. If we go on for a family tour, the size of luggage will vary. We must buy the best and cheaper ones since bags aren't a separate part from our life.

Yuvraj Singh still to be kept in the team..?

We all know the recent batting and fielding form of Yuvraj Singh. His batting performance is constantly decreasing after the interview given by his father regarding the captainship. After that interview his concentration is fully on the captainship and he is constantly not playing well in the important matches. If we view on his batting records in the Asia cup we can clearly understand that he is not mentally present in the matches. If his poor form continues then we might loose a good player for our team. What punishment is BCCI going to give him so that he will gain his form back…?

Eating Veg Foods Will Reduce CO2 Emission

Greenhouse emissions per household can be reduced by an amount equivalent to driving a car 1860 km fewer per year if people switch from red meat to veggies just for one day every week, calculates a researcher.

Christopher Weber of Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Mellon University also reckons that a completely local diet may help reduce a household's greenhouse emissions by an amount equivalent to driving a car 1600 km fewer per year.

He said that his calculations, based on an analysis of the environmental toll of food production, suggested that the consumption of locally-produced food items may not be as effective in reducing carbon emissions as quitting red meat for one day in a week.

"If you have a certain type of diet that's indicative of the American average, you're not going to do that much for climate while eating locally," New Scientist magazine quoted Weber as saying.

Weber and his colleague Scott Matthews' analysis included emissions like transporting and producing fertiliser for crops, methane gas emitted by livestock, and food's journey to market.

They observed that the final step added up to just four per cent of a food's greenhouse emissions on average, while red meat spewed out far more greenhouse gases than other foods.

"It seems much easier to shift one day of my beef consumption a week to chicken or vegetables, than going through and eating only Jerusalem artichokes for three months in the winter," said Weber.

Matthew Perry, head of Carbon Label California, said: "If you're interested in the hamburger you're not going to switch to tofu, but you might switch to a chicken burger."

The study has been reported in the journal Environmental Science and Technology. (ANI)

Deepika to set tie knot with Ranbir Kapoor

'Om Shanti Om' girl Deepika Padukone is annoyed with the press for publishing stories about her romantic link-ups, saying they will dent her reputation and cause future embarrassment.
'The media needs to be a little restrained. I am a simple girl and from a respectable family. And loose talk about me harms my reputation,' Deepika, who will be seen in 'Chandni Chowk to China', told IANS in an interview.
Deepika, who was apparently seeing cricketer Yuvraj Singh at one time, is now reportedly set to tie the knot with Ranbir Kapoor.
Ask her why she and beau Ranbir went public about their relationship, Deepika said: 'Because this is the first time I've actually and truly fallen in love. Being in love is the loveliest feeling. When two people are getting close they need time to understand one another.'
Both of them will be seen together for the first time on screen in 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.

The orders placed by brokers reach the Exchange's central computer and are matched electronically.
