AMD Foundation Teams with World Wide Workshop to Double Number of Students Learning Game Design at Southwest Key`s East Austin College Prep Academy

April 6, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

AMD Also Announces Separate Grant to Southwest Key for New 30-PC Computer Lab,
Two Technology Staff Positions
SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(Business Wire)–
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the AMD Foundation, in support of AMD Changing
the Game, has awarded grants to the World Wide Workshop Foundation and the
Southwest Key Programs. The grants will enable Southwest Key`s East Austin
College Prep Academy (EACPA) to add a new grade and double the number of
students participating in the World Wide Workshop Foundation`s cutting-edge
Globaloria game-design program. Additionally, AMD will fund a second technology
laboratory for students, featuring 30 HP notebooks with AMD processors and ATI
graphics. This is the second consecutive year the foundation has awarded grants
to these beneficiaries. These grants together total approximately $243,000.

“Southwest Key programs are about opening doors and breaking down barriers for
children by providing educational possibilities that they wouldn`t normally have
access to in their community,” said Dr. Juan Sanchez, President and CEO,
Southwest Key. “The AMD Foundation and the Globaloria program had an enormously
positive impact on students, inspiring and exciting them to learn. We were able
to see students make great strides in their educational accomplishments and
technological literacy, which we believe is largely due to this program.”

The World Wide Workshop Foundation is a global foundation for developing
educational technology applications that intertwine social media technology and
game production. Globaloria is an intensive in-school game development
curriculum and social networking platform that prepares students ages 13 and
older from underserved communities to use technology to become active, socially
conscious global cybercitizens.

The 2010 grants are given in support of AMD`s signature education initiative,
AMD Changing the Game. The initiative promotes social issue game development as
a tool to inspire youth to learn, improve their science, technology, education
and math (STEM) skills, and become more attuned to global social issues such as
the environment, energy, public health and poverty.

“Today`s youth are tomorrow`s leaders. AMD Changing the Game and the Globaloria
program share a goal of using technology, and particularly game development, to
harness students` curiosity and creativity, boost their confidence, enrich their
educational experience and expand their global awareness,” said Allyson Peerman,
president, AMD Foundation. “We commend Southwest Key`s East Austin College Prep
Academy for being such a pioneer in choosing to make this innovative game design
program an integral part of their curriculum.”

“In 2009 we partnered with the AMD Foundation and Southwest Key to launch the
first ever comprehensive, school-wide game-design program for STEM learning at
EACPA: Globaloria at EACPA. Our strong partnership resulted in a hugely
successful program and fueled our desire to expand the program this year,” said
Dr. Idit Harel Caperton, Founder and President, World Wide Workshop Foundation.
“We are proud to continue working to implement a program that is designed to
enhance learning, innovation, entrepreneurship and an understanding of the world
among students in the East Austin community.”

The EACPA opened its doors in fall 2009 and is located in an area with
predominantly low education levels. The school had 92 6th grade students last
year and expects to more than double attendance this fall by adding a 7th grade
class to its school. With the AMD grant, EACPA will not only continue the
implementation of the Globaloria program, but also will establish a second
technology lab, and hire a second Globaloria teacher and a full time Information
Technology professional to support the program.

In the program`s initial year at EACPA, students participated in intensive
90-minute daily units on game design, first mastering wiki and blogging tools,
then conceiving and designing original educational Web games. Teams of five or
six students worked together to develop a game concept that incorporates
mathematics learning and explores a social issue. Research is ongoing to assess
the overall impact of the Globaloria program on student STEM skill development.
Long-term, the World Wide Workshop Foundation hopes the EACPA program will
provide a model for integrating game literacy school-wide across the nation and
the globe.

AMD Changing the Game

AMD Changing the Game is designed to take gaming beyond entertainment and
inspire youth to learn critical education and life skills by equipping them to

Workshop on use of textiles in agriculture to begin today

September 19, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, Sept 18 (ANI): The Ministry of Textiles and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) will jointly organise a workshop on use of textiles in agriculture here today.

Over 100 delegates from various sectors like agriculture, the State Governments, agricultural universities, forest departments and institutes will attend the workshop.

The technical textiles are used in agriculture to fabricate shade-nets, crop-covers, mulch-nets, anti-hail nets, bird protection nets, fishing nets and greenhouse covers. The use of these items is very limited in the context of Indian agriculture.

The objective of the workshop is to sensitize stakeholders about myriad applications of technical textiles in agriculture and environmental engineering.

It will also create awareness amongst the stakeholders about the benefits of these items.

The workshop will also focus on various rules/legislations that need to be amended to facilitate the use of these textiles in various applications.

Technical textiles products used in the agriculture are known as Agrotech and those used for environmental protection are called Oekotech.

The major applications of Oekotech are for landfill waste management. It includes products used to prevent leakage of municipal or hazardous waste in landfills and suitable use of waste.

The consumption of these technical textiles products remains limited despite their perceived benefits.

With rapid urbanisation, the waste management has become major issue in India and Oekotech applications provide an effective way of managing the waste in an environment friendly manner. (ANI)

Three persons detained for stone-pelting on Rahul Gandhi’s train

September 17, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Karnal (Haryana)/New Delhi, Sep 17(ANI): Three persons were detained by the Haryana Police on Thursday for allegedly pelting stones at the train in which Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi was traveling on Tuesday.

The Haryana police had, earlier, launched a massive manhunt for a group of young men who had allegedly pelted stones at the Swarn Shatabdi Express near Gharaunda town in Haryana, which was seen as a major security breach by the intelligence agencies.

“We have detained three suspects in this particular case. We have taken them for corroboration and have detained them for further questioning,” V Kamraj, Inspector General of Police.

Kamraj also informed that the three did not possess a criminal background.

“We have not arrested them, but have detained them. They have no criminal background. They are locals from Gharounda,” said Kamraj.

Gandhi had taken the train while returning from Ludhiana, where he went to attend a party youth workshop. Though no one was injured, windowpanes of C-2, C-4 and C-7 were damaged in the stone pelting.

Gandhi was seated in C-3 coach, which was not affected in the incident. (ANI)

Saving the historical monuments to preserve cultural heritage of Punjab

September 10, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Amritsar, Sep.10 (ANI): An endeavour is underway to preserve various heritage buildings of Punjab State in a bid to treasure the cultural heritage including historical monuments, which can help in boosting tourism in Punjab.

The palaces and Havelis across Punjab bespeak glorious heritage. These historically important buildings include religious places belonging to different faiths and can attract tourists to Punjab.

The Sheesh Mahal and Qila Mubarak at Patiala, Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s summer palace at Amritsar or ancestral home of Shaheed Bhagat Singh at Khatkar Kalan – they are important sites that need to be preserved for the coming generations.

“Every community, society has a very precious heritage which has to be and can be transferred to the next generation and this is the responsibility of any civil society to transfer that heritage to the coming generation if you don’t perform that duty, that is a sin, that’s crime,” said Dr. Sukhdev Singh, Punjab State convener, Indian National Trust For Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH).

To spread awareness about preservation of these heritage sites, the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage recently organized a workshop on the theme ‘Cultural Heritage and Media’ in Amritsar.

The event highlighted the fact that popularizing existing heritage buildings and protecting sites of cultural importance, presently in ruins due to negligence and development activities, ought to be the main priority.

There were proposals to convert heritage sites into museums and heritage hotels for tourists to get a glimpse of Punjab’s rich cultural heritage.

It was suggested that the restored monuments could be commercially used on public-private partnership basis.

“Nuclear families have become more common than joint families and it has resulted in a big change in the whole system. Like in our system, the kids are taught to respect elders and follow the path of honesty. People get equal share in all institutions like in home, office and agriculture but today they are aware of especially one aspect of their lives,” said Paramjeet Singh , Prof. Of Architechture, Gurunanak University, Amritsar.

“There is a significant relation between tourism and the heritage sites because some tourists surely have some interest in what’s the history of people and what’s the culture of people. They don’t come here just to see the huge marble buildings. They don’t want to see the modern architecture, which infact is mostly western, they come here to know about the past of this place, so it surely encourages tourism,” said Dr. Sukhdev Singh.

Amritsar is the heritage city of Punjab. The city is known globally for the revered Golden Temple, one of the pilgrimage centers, which stands intact and was built nearly 400 years ago.

The heritage tour in Amritsar remains incomplete without visiting the old city, known for its traditional market and centuries old residential houses.

Be it the historic Jallianwala Bagh or the Summer Palace, the royal residence of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, they take every visitor here to the era they stand testimony of. By Ravinder Singh Robin (ANI)

Photo exhibition showcasing 128-year-old past of heritage railway in Darjeeling

August 26, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Siliguri, Aug 26 (ANI): To create awareness regarding the history and evolution of the heritage railway especially amongst schoolchildren, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) in collaboration with the Siliguri Science Centre has organised a week-long photo exhibition showcasing its glorious past of 128 years, in Siliguri.

The exhibition, which will conclude on August 30, depicts the evolution of the DHR from its inception to the modern times.

The DHR is an important landmark on the Indian tourism map especially after UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site in 1999.

The DHR’s 82 kilometres of journey from Siliguri junction to Darjeeling is an enchanting journey offering a majestic view of the Darjeeling Himalayas.

The organisers believe that the exhibition will make young generation aware of the history of the DHR, an important part of their heritage.

“We have tried to display through photographs, through charts and through maps, the evolution of the DHR and also the different milestones and important events of the DHR. For example, when the Tindharia workshop (the workshop that undertakes major servicing of steam locomotives and coaches of DHR) was formed, how the monsoon disaster took place, and even the cyclone AILA has been put in,” said Subrata Nath, Director, Darjeeling Himalayan Railways.

Children, from various schools of the region, are thronging the exhibition and have been enthusiastic about it.

“It is an awesome feeling, because I have never experienced such a thing .I came here and saw the railways and the natural beauty of Darjeeling Himalayas. It was a fantastic experience,” said Rahul Sharma, a student.

The DHR toy train was the brainchild of Franklin Prestage, an agent of the then Eastern Bengal Railway, who foresaw the utility of a rail link between the hills of Darjeeling and the plains.

It was started in 1896 by the then British Lieutenant Governor Ashley Eden, offering riders an opportunity to enjoy the majestic beauty of nature along the Darjeeling hills. At the beginning, this railway was named as the Darjeeling steam Tramway Co. Later when India gained independence in 1947, the railway was renamed as the DHR.

The DHR was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO on December 5 at its 23rd session. By Taruk Sarkar (ANI)

Nizami urges Pak teachers to promote two-nation theory among kids

August 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Lahore, Aug 24(ANI): Pakistani journalist and Chairman Nazria Pakistan Trust (NPT) Majid Nizami has urged teachers in Pakistan to indoctrinate the new generation with the idea that Hindus and Muslims belong to two separate nations.

Nizam said the practice could only be defended by the two-nation theory.

Addressing the eighth ideological workshop for teachers organised by the NPT in collaboration with Punjab Education Department here on Saturday, Nizami said that Pakistan was created and has survived due to its ideology.

“If we consider Muslims and Hindus one nation, then there cannot be any justification of Pakistan,” The Nation quoted Nizami, as saying.

“Hindus are idol worshippers and we are idol- killers and this is the difference,” he added.

Nizam further said that East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was separated due to stupidity and expressed a desire to see it back again with Pakistan. (ANI)

Peter Jackson says he is driven by fear of failure

August 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Wellington, Aug 24 (ANI): Kiwi filmmaker Peter Jackson has revealed that he is driven by the fear that one of his mega-productions might end up becoming a flop.

Jackson, 47, became one of the most sought-after producers after the success of the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, which brought him and his Weta productions workshop multiple Academy Award successes.

But during the release of his mega hit movie ‘District 9′ in the US, he revealed that he was motivated by the sheer fear of turning out a flop.

“You’re always imagining the best, and then you always have to compromise for what you get in the real world,” Stuff.co.nz quoted him as saying.

“It’s a process of constant disappointment. But somehow you have to hope that you set your goals high enough that even with the disappointment, you still end up with something that other people enjoy,” he added. (ANI)

Top Canadian universities to tour India

August 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, Aug.24 (ANI): Thirteen of Canada’s elite universities will be in India from August 23 to September 4 to hold information sessions on Canada as a destination for higher education.

The delegation is led by Ginette Sanfaçon of HEC Montréal (Business school affiliated with the Université de Montréal) and Michelle Beaton of Ryerson University in Toronto.

The tour is organized by the Canadian Higher Education Committee under the aegis of the Council of International Schools (CIS).

The Council’s fifth annual tour to India will begin in Mumbai and continue in Pune, Delhi and Bangalore.

According to a Canadian High Commission press release, the tour is of special interest to Standard XI and Standard XII students who exhibit strong academic standing, their school guidance counselors as well as to their parents. The schedule includes school visits, information fairs, and an indepth Canadian university admission workshop for guidance counselors.

“India is a key undergraduate student market for Canadian universities,” said Ginette Sanfaçon of HEC-Montréal and Tour Director. “Indian students are sought for their academic strength and their rich contribution to student life on Canadian university campuses. In turn, increasing numbers of Indian students are making Canada their first choice for study – as evidenced on this tour.

Indian students are drawn to our universities’ common attributes of international reputation for academic excellence, state of the art resources, and safe campuses in welcoming locations,” Sanfaçon said.

Each year, tour organizers strengthen existing relationships with secondary schools in cities they visit and also expand outreach to new regions. For example, guidance counselors from schools in Dehra Dun, Hyderabad, Chennai and Chandigarh as well as Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are receiving invitations to attend the Tour’s counselor workshop in Delhi.

List of participating universities:

The University of British Columbia; Carleton University; Dalhousie University; HEC MONTRÉAL (Business School affiliated with Université de Montréal); Memorial University of Newfoundland; University of Manitoba; University of New Brunswick; Ryerson University; University of Saskatchewan; University of Toronto; Vancouver Island University; University of Waterloo; York University.

Canadian universities are engaged internationally as leaders in education through teaching, research and partnerships. Undergraduate education in Canada is a hybrid of US and UK styles offering breadth of program options, flexibility in choice and a degree that is ultimately recognized world-wide.

Indian students choose Canada because a strong education and a positive international experience is the foundation for their exciting and successful futures. The quality, affordability and renowned research opportunities are key factors in this decision. University campuses across Canada offer multicultural environments, beautiful spaces and friendly people. As a leader in business, political diplomacy, arts and culture and technology – Canada’s education system is at the core of its success and its graduates are players on the world stage. (ANI)

Government inefficiency places people in coastal zones at risk from tsunamis

July 11, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, July 11 (ANI): A team of international experts has determined that governments have largely failed to seriously implement integrated management in coastal zones, placing people at risk of disasters such as hurricane Katrina and the Banda Aceh tsunami.

This was the conclusion of 40 international experts from wide ranging disciplines including economics, social sciences and natural sciences who met for an intensive, 5 day workshop near Oslo, Norway.

Many Megacities such as Tokyo, New York and London are found in the coastal zone.

According to researchers, coastal protection measures give a sense of false security and require increasingly expensive infrastructure.

The treatment and cure of these coastal syndromes includes renewable energy, recycled water and solid waste, sourcing locally grown foods and attention to social equity issues, especially in education and healthcare.

The researchers said that up to now, governments at all scales, from local to international, have largely failed to seriously implement integrated management in coastal zones.

This has placed people at risk of disasters such as hurricane Katrina and the Banda Aceh tsunami.

The interconnection of coastal processes with upstream management in river catchment has widely been ignored, causing coastal erosion, lack of runoff, nutrient shortage and subsiding deltas.

The pace of change in general is increasing and regionally, the world is already seeing both economic and climate-change refugees.

In parallel, there are climate entrepreneurs eager to exploit Arctic resources.

Climate change is exposing the fragile Arctic coasts and ecosystems as well as their vulnerable inhabitants, who subsist on traditional lifestyles, to increasing risks.

Innovation is needed to solve the widespread problems, if we are to turn the tide of losses.

According to researchers, we must enable governance at all scales from intergovernmental engagement to the individual, personal choices that may counteract the tyranny of “small and short sighted decisions”. (ANI)

Rehabilitation centre for HIV-AIDS affected kids in Mizoram

June 30, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Aizawl (Mizoram), June 30(ANI): A rehabilitation centre in Aizawl has emerged as a big hope for many orphans affected with HIV-AIDS in Mizoram.

Gan Sabra, the rehabilitation centre, is today a permanent abode to these orphans, who have been abandoned by their families.

“In many ways for our children who are infected with HIV-AIDS, for them it’s a bit like a desert because of the discrimination, because of the stigma, because of different problem that they face but then they will survive and we are trying to provide a family for them in this home because we feel that is what they need, a family where they can be loved, cared and protected” said Lucy Maruati, founder of the Gan Sabra.

The Gan Sabra presently provides shelter to 14 children, who are aged between 20 months to 16 years.

These children get to live in a homely environment, where they take care of each other. However, each of them has a sad story to narrate.

“I am HIV positive and I got it from my parents. Now they are no more, so I live here. We stay here as a family and take care of each other,” said Lalchawndamian, a HIV-AIDS affected child.

The rehabilitation centre, which is run through public donations, also provides free medical treatment to students.

Emails exchanged by employees may help predict a company’s demise

June 23, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, June 23 (ANI): The pattern of emails exchanged between employees may help predict whether an organisation is reaching crisis point, according to a study.

The study focussed on pattern of messages exchanged by employees at US energy giant Enron, which collapsed in December 2001.

After the company’s demise, federal investigators obtained records of emails sent by around 150 senior staff during the firm’s final 18 months.

The logs, which record 517,000 emails sent to around 15,000 employees, provide a rare insight into how communication within an organisation changes during stressful times, reports New Scientist magazine.

Ben Collingsworth and Ronaldo Menezes at the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne identified key events in Enron’s demise, such as the August 2001 resignation of CEO Jeffrey Skilling.

They then examined the number of emails sent, and the groups that exchanged the messages, in the period around these events, but they did not look at the emails’ content.

While they expected the communication networks to change during moments of crisis, it was found that the biggest changes actually happened around a month before.

For example, the number of active email cliques, defined as groups in which every member has had direct email contact with every other member, jumped from 100 to almost 800 around a month before the December 2001 collapse.

In fact, the messages were also increasingly exchanged within these groups and not shared with other employees.

The researchers believe that they might have identified a characteristic change that occurs as stress builds within a company-employees start talking directly to people they feel comfortable with, and stop sharing information more widely.

Other researchers think that such a shift in communication patterns could be used as an early warning sign of growing discontent within an organisation.

The findings of the study were presented at the International Workshop on Complex Networks, held last month in Catania, Italy. (ANI)

Spring agricultural fires can accelerate Arctic melting

May 27, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Washington, May 27 (ANI): A research has found that agricultural fires during spring have an adverse impact on the melting Arctic, because the black carbon or soot produced by the fires can lead to accelerated melting of snow and ice.

The two-year international field campaign known as POLARCAT was conducted most intensively during two three-week periods last spring and summer and focused on the transport of pollutants into the Arctic from lower latitudes.

One surprise discovery was that large-scale agricultural burning in Russia, Kazakhstan, China, the US, Canada, and the Ukraine is having a much greater impact than previously thought.

A particular threat is posed by springtime burning – to remove crop residues for new planting or clear brush for grazing – because the black carbon or soot produced by the fires can lead to an increased melting of snow and ice.

Soot, which is produced through incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels, may account for as much as 30 percent of Arctic warming to date, according to recent estimates.

Soot can warm the surrounding air and, when deposited on ice and snow, absorb solar energy and add to the melting process.

In addition to soot, other short-lived pollutants include ozone and methane.

Although global warming is largely the result of excess accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2), the Arctic is highly sensitive to short-lived pollutants.

During the UNH workshop, a report by the Clean Air Task Force detailing some of the campaign’s findings on agricultural burning and transport to the Arctic will be officially released.

“Targeting these emissions offers a supplemental and parallel strategy to carbon dioxide reductions, with the advantage of a much faster temperature response, and the benefit of health risk reductions,” said Ellen Baum, senior scientist of the Clean Air Task Force.

“In addition, we have the know-how to control these pollutants today,” she added.

The report notes that during April, at the beginning portion of the field campaign in Northern Alaska, aircraft-based researchers were surprised to find 50 smoke plumes originating from fires in Eurasia more than 3,000 miles away.

Analysis of the plumes, combined with satellite images, revealed the smoke came from agricultural fires in Northern Kazakhstan-Southern Russia and from forest fires in Southern Siberia.

The emissions from fires far outweighed those from fossil fuels, the report states.

“These fires weren’t part of our standard predictions, they weren’t in our models,” said Daniel Jacob, a professor of atmospheric chemistry and environmental engineering at Harvard University. (ANI)

India to host International workshop on ‘Green Customs Initiatives’

May 25, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, May 25 (ANI): India will host a five-day international workshop starting from today on ‘Green Customs Initiatives’ to bring awareness about environment protection and the role of customs officers in enforcing environmental laws on the borders.

The National Academy of Customs, Excise and Narcotics (NACEN), the training arm of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), will host the event under the aegis of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) at NACEN in Faridabad.

Protection of the environment is a primary concern of the international community today to ensure that the earth does not become the victim of environmental degradation with its catastrophic consequences for life on earth. The role of Customs Departments of the International Community is important specially in view of the fact that national and international Crime Syndicates are indulging in environmental crimes for pecuniary gains.

The Workshop is aimed at bringing about awareness of the importance of environment protection and the role of Customs Officers in this task in the Asia Pacific, Central Asia and Australasia Regions.

The participants of the Workshop are expected to go back to their respective countries duly enriched on this aspect and take forward the “Green Customs Initiatives” which has been launched by the Secretariats of the Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) such as, Basel Convention, Rotterdam Convention, Stockholm Convention, Montreal Protocol, Chemical Weapons Convention etc. in cooperation with UNEP and the WCO.

The Workshop will be attended by participants from 21 countries of the Central Asia, Asia Pacific and Australasia Regions and Experts from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Customs Organisation (WCO) and the Secretariats of the Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs) (to which India is a party).

Campaign against cyber crime in Kolkata

May 22, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Kolkata, May 22 (ANI): In order to tackle cyber crime, the Kolkata police joined hands with the Public Relations Society of India, Kolkata Chapter and Calcutta Telephones and organised a workshop here to spread awareness about cyber security.

Cyber crime still remains a vague phenomenon for most Internet users, as they are not aware as to what actually constitutes cyber crime and what laws are against it.

Most cases of cyber crime also go unreported because of the strong inhibitions amongst Internet users especially children and teenagers.

“We have been planning to launch a city-wise movement from the next month where we will involve the professors, It specialists and everybody to fight the evil of cyber crime. A lot of campaigns do not reach us. Young children do not report crime relating to cyber. So we are going to start a huge awareness campaign,” said Gautam Mohan Chakravorty, Commissioner of Police, Kolkata.

There are incidents of tampering with pictures on the Internet, and other such incidents.

“This cyber crime whatever it is, hacking or pornography, it is because parents don’t give time to their children. The children do not know what is good or right,” said Deblina Choudhury, student.

Cyber crime is understood as a crime wherein a computer or network is used as a tool, target or source of crime. It consists of fraud, theft, blackmail, forgery, hacking, infringement of copyright, child pornography and so on.

There are hardly any statistics available on the increase in cyber crimes and the records are not reliable because net users, mostly teenagers and children, fail to report cyber crime.

As per reports three in four children online are willing to share personal information about themselves and their family in exchange for goods and services. And one in five children are argeted by a predator each year. (ANI)

China’s first sex-themed park set to open

May 15, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

New Delhi, May 15 (ANI): A sex theme park in China that exhibits naked human sculptures, giant genitals and boasts of a sex technique workshop has got some people hot under the collar.

‘Love Land’, billed as China’s first-ever sex theme park, is scheduled to open October in the entertainment zone near the Yangtze River in Chongqing, reports the China Daily.

It will feature an exhibition about sex, including its history and practice in other countries, anti-AIDS measures and the proper use of condoms.

Lu Xiaoqing, park manager, said the park would provide sex education and help adults ‘enjoy a harmonious sex life’.

“We are building the park for the good of the public. Sex is a taboo subject in China but people really need to have more access to information about it,” Lu said.

However, some people have branded Love Land vulgar and said that Chinese people were not ready to accept open discussions on sex.

“These things are too exposed. I will feel uncomfortable to look at them when other people are around,” Liu Daiwei, a policewoman in Chongqing, said. (ANI)

Ram Temple row comes off the backburner in Ayodhya

April 22, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Ayodhya, Apr 22 (ANI): Construction of controversial Ram Temple is occupying centre stage in Ayodhya, which votes on Thursday.

Reviving the issue, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has said it will construct the temple at its site in Ayodhya.

Hanuman Yadav, a caretaker of temple construction workshop, said he was confident that the temple would be built if the BJP got absolute majority.

“Temple would be constructed when our government comes in majority. The temple would be definitely constructed,” he said.

After winning the general elections in 1999, the BJP was forced to abandon plans of constructing the temple by its coalition allies.

Devotees, who visit the site, say they will vote for any party that backed temple construction at the site.

“We will vote for the party that will construct the temple,” said Kalpna Ben, a devotee from Jalgaon in Maharashtra.

Hashim Ansari, president of Babri Mosque Reconstruction Action Committee, said that the BJP’s aim was just to politicise the issue, but not construct it.

“Advani’s aim is not to construct a temple but to play politics,” Ansari said.he demolition of the 16th century mosque on December 6, 1992, triggered off nationwide communal riots that took a heavy toll of human life.

The ramifications of that movement are still being felt. Senior BJP leader L K Advani is among those accused of inciting communal passions by making inflammatory statements.

After razing the Babri mosque, Hindu activists put up a makeshift temple at the site that they contend is the birthplace of Hindu god Ram. (ANI)

Laurel and Hardy immortalised into bronze statues

April 20, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

London, Apr 20 (ANI): Legendary comedy duo Laurel and Hardy have been immortalised into bronze statues in Cumbrian town where Stan Laurel was born.

The fundraisers spent 10 years raising 60,000 pounds for the sculpture, which will be placed outside the Coronation Hall theatre in Ulverston.

The statues, designed and created by Graham Ibbeson, were unveiled by comedian Ken Dodd, 81.

In a partnership lasting 31 years, the pair Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy acted in 106 films spanning the silent era until the 1950s.

The occasion was attended by hundreds of fans including members of The Sons of the Desert fan club who helped raise funds for the sculptures.

Dodd said he was “tickled” to be chosen to unveil the memorial.

“Laurel and Hardy made the world laugh. They were the kings of comedy,” the BBC quoted Dodd as saying.

“I sculpted Stan and Ollie over a winter period a few years ago, it was cold and miserable in the workshop, however, when I took the cover off the boys every morning it uplifted my soul,” said Mr Ibbeson.

“Stan and Ollie were looking down on me with grins on their faces, and I was looking back at the greatest clowns that have walked this Earth with affection and joyous memories,” he added. (ANI)

Egypt arrests 15 suspected of making rockets for the Gaza

April 12, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Rafah, Egypt – Egyptian security forces arrested 15 people on Friday on charges of making rockets to be smuggled into the Gaza Strip through border tunnels, an Egyptian security source said. He added that authorities confiscated components that could have been used to make rockets in a workshop located in the Sheikh Zuwaid area of the northern part of the Sinai peninsula.

Border tunnels were dug by Palestinians to transfer food supplies, goods and even people from Egypt into the besieged enclave.

Israel, which imposed a blockade on the densely populated enclave ever since the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas took control in June 2007, alleges that the tunnels were also used to smuggle weapons for used against the Israelis.

Last week, Egypt destroyed 10 tunnels that were used to smuggle fuel and diesel under a Cairo operation aimed at securing the borders with Gaza.

Egypt has come under increasing pressure, particularly from Israel and the United States, to crack down on weapons smuggling from the Sinai Peninsula into the salient.
