India Destroyed Chemical Weapons

India has informed the United Nations that it has destroyed its stockpile of chemical weapons in compliance with the international Chemical Weapons Convention.

Having Done this India has become third country after South Korea and Albania to do so.

The government notified the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) on March 26 of the fulfilment of its obligations to 'completely destroy' its declared chemical weapons stockpile.

'In addition, our inspectors confirmed the completion of destruction of the former chemical weapons production facility, which had been temporarily converted for chemical weapons destruction purposes,' he added.

End of the World is Near Scientists | Latest News Update

2009-04-20T11:49:00.000-07:00

Earth

According to a report in The Times, a team led by Jay Farihi, of the University of Leicester, UK, did the research. A research into dying stars that once blazed as brightly as the Sun has revealed a glimpse of the 'end of the world', which awaits the Earth billions of years from now.

The research suggests millions of other solar systems have endured the destiny predicted for the Earth when the Sun dies.

When stars like the Sun die, they swell into red giants.

When the process begins for the Sun in approximately 4 billion years, it will fill much of the inner solar system; most calculations suggest the Earth will be engulfed.

Once red giants burn themselves out, they collapse into much smaller bodies, known as white dwarfs.

These dying stars no longer sustain themselves with nuclear fusion, and glow only because of their residual heat as they cool over billions of years.

Dr Farihi said "What we have seen is a possible fate for our own solar system" he further added Many of the systems we are studying will have been similar to our own. It's a possibility that some of them ould once have held life," he added. (ANI)

George W Bush

43rd President of the United States, George W Bush loves to lead the simple life in Dallas, Texas.

Bush almost always arrives at his Dallas office by 7:30 a.m., a few minutes before many of his employees. He works on his book with the help of a speechwriter, leaves for a late afternoon bike ride and spends his evenings reading or watching televised golf or baseball.

He spends most of his weekends with his wife Lauraat their isolated ranch in Crawford, Texas, where he likes to wake up early, roam the 1,600 acres with a chainsaw and cut new bike trails.

About once each week, Bush travels to give a speech or raise money for his 300 million dollar presidential center, but he always moves inside an insulated bubble.

Their 1.13-acre property valued at about 2.4 million dollars is cocooned by 40 acres of private land and a trout-filled lake.

He has declined to give interviews, except to discuss baseball or his book, and neighbours remain silent so as not to violate his privacy.

Bush works with a dozen aides from his administration, socializes with friends he has known for decades and lives in a conservative neighbourhood that voted for him both times by a ratio greater than 2 to 1.

Teacher Rapes Six Girls In Shimla

2009-03-19T09:59:00.000-07:00

Teacher Rapes Six Girls In Shimla Police on Wednesday arrested the principal and three teachers of a rehabilitation centre for disabled children in Shimla on charges of raping six inmates, including four minors.

The police swooped on the Rehabilitation Centre for the Deaf and Dumb and Mentally Retarded Children at Totu, a Shimla suburb, on Wednesday morning after they were tipped off by the Criminal Investigation Department.

A partially hearing impaired girl, a day scholar at the co-education centre, got to know about the sexual abuse through the victims, and she informed her family and the word spread.

Five of the six victims, aged between 13 and 21, are hearing and speech impaired, while one is mentally challenged. Five of the girls are from Shimla district and one is from Solan. They all come from poor families.

Principal and coordinator Vijay, who only uses only one name, teachers Amarjeet Singh and Dinesh Kumar were arrested from the centre. Another teacher, Vinod Kumar, was arrested from Sarkaghat, 200 km from Shimla.

District police chief R.M. Sharma said the medical examination of the girls was being done and forensics were gathering evidence.

Though the victims had not informed the centre’s owner, Komal, who only uses one name and is Vijay’s sister, or their parents as they had been threatened into silence by the accused, the police said the girls had been sexually exploited for a year.

“Vinod used to call me to his room, which is next to the room the girls sleep in, in the night on the pretext of fetching water for him. Then he would strip me and ask me to lie down. He asked me to keep quiet, every time he did that to me, and said if I would tell anyone, he would beat me up,” one of the victims, who is 15 and mentally challenged, told HT.

While she was the only one who could put words to the ordeal, the other girls did point fingers at their teachers. The centre has 27 inmates, all but three are boarders and 12 are boys. Parents of some of the victims, who reached Shimla, were yet to come to terms with their daughters’ ordeal. “I do not know. I’ll see, what to do,” said the father of one.

“I never got to know about it. Nobody told me,” said Komal. She said they didn’t have the funds to have a separate complex for girls, or pay security staff. All the 12 inmates were shifted to a Nari Niketan in Mashobra, 15 km from Shimla, the police said.

The centre is housed in a three-storeyed building. Inmates and the four male teachers share the accommodation. District Welfare Officer, Khem Chand, shrugged off responsibility, saying, “I have joined here recently… don’t have the staff or a vehicle to carry out check.”

Terror Attack on Sri Lankan Cricketer

The Sri Lankan team had stepped in after the Indian government had barred the Indian team from touring Pakistan after the terror attack in Mumbai.

Terror struck at the heart of cricket when masked gunmen attacked the bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team to the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Five cricketers, including Mahela Jayawardene, the Sri Lankan captain, and his deputy Kumar Sangakkara, received minor injuries. The attack also left six security men and two civilians dead.

jaz Butt, the PCB chief, said the Test has been called off. Salman Tasheer, the Punjab governor, said a helicopter will soon evacuate the Sri Lankan players from Gaddafi Stadium and take them to a nearby airbase from where the team will fly back to Sri Lanka. Duleep Mendis, the Sri Lanka Cricket chief, said that they were "getting the team back to Sri Lanka today".

There have been terror strikes on the peripheries of cricket, but this is the first time players have been directly targeted. The Sri Lankans were on their way to the Gaddafi Stadium when their bus was attacked by five armed terrorists near Liberty market. Habibur Rehman, chief commissioner of police, said 12 masked terrorists fired at the Sri Lankan team bus. The gunmen shot at the wheels of the bus and also injured the driver. A grenade was also thrown at the bus but it missed. The others players injured are Ajantha Mendis, Thilan Samaraweera and Tharanga Paranavitana.

"The bus came under attack as we were driving to the stadium, the gunmen targeted the wheels of the bus first and then the bus," Mahela Jayawardene told Cricinfo. "We all dived to the floor to take cover. About five players have been injured and also Paul Farbrace [a member of the support staff], but most of the injuries appear to be minor at this stage and caused by debris."

Sri Lanka's sports minister Gamini Lokuge said Farbrace and Samaraweera were hospitalised while the others have been discharged. "Mahela and the other three had very minor injuries and they have already reached their hotel," Lokuge said.

Sri Lanka, Sanath Jayasuriya said "extremely unfortunate incident. "We've never had this kind of problem," Jayasuriya told CNN-IBN. "They are all safe, that's the good news I got when I spoke to Kumar. I don't they they'll stay back and play. I think they will come back as soon as possible. Depends on the injuries."

The ratcatcher, Mr Xian, said he swooped for the rodent after seeing a big crowd of people surrounding it on the street.

After catching the Giant Rat He told local Chinese newspapers that he thought the rat might be a valuable specimen, or a rare species, and had to muster up his courage before grabbing its tail and picking it up by the scruff of its neck.

"I did it, I caught a rat the size of a cat!" he shouted out afterwards, according to the reports. Mr Xian is believed to still be in possession of the animal, after stuffing into a bag and departing the scene.

However, the Sumatra bamboo rat, usually found in the south-western Chinese province of Yunnan and in the Malay Peninsula can grow up to 30 inches long, including tail, and can weigh up to eight pounds.

All bamboo rats are slow-moving and usually spend their time in underground burrows, feeding on bamboo. Chinese bamboo rats are often sold for meat in Chinese markets.

The largest rats in the world are thought to be African giant pouched rats, which can grow up to 36 inches in length.

Real Test For Barack Obama | Obama on his New Job

2009-02-09T02:09:00.000-08:00

Barack Obama

Obama has already had his setbacks. He lost Bill Richardson whom he had wanted as Commerce Secretary before taking office. His nomination for Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner just managed to get his nomination through confessing to some tax payment lapses. Now he has lost Tom Daschle. Yet he has proved his point that his insistence on clean politics is real. Daschle had paid up his tax but in arrears. He had to withdraw from his nomination for that fault. The scrutiny that Cabinet nominees go through in the US is exemplary. How many countries can boast of that level of transparency?

Obama has already tasted opposition.The problem is that the recession is proving to be much tougher than anyone expected even three months ago. Despite hundreds of billions spent in recapitalising the banks, credit is still frozen. Cutting interest rates as the Fed has done aggressively is not restoring the confidence in the banking system, which has seized up. Somehow Obama has not altered the climate as FDR did in 1933 by his bold Inauguration Address. Obama disappointed in his address by being low key and long winded. Some green issues apart, the address lacked real punch.

Obama still has seventy per cent support, which is a record even for a new President. He has the goodwill, and his wife Michelle is proving to be an asset.

This will be the test. If he stands up to Congress then he will make his mark globally. The US has to stay on the side of free trade. For ten years the US has run a large deficit but imported freely from Asia, which has sustained a long boom. Now the need is to revive the spending and let the world know that all can gain by keeping the system open. There is after all still the task of fixing the international trade and finance architecture. If US goes isolationist or protectionist, then the recession will become a long Depression.

Obama has raised expectations among the poorest and the most deprived around the world. But he can only deliver on his promises if he can stand up for certain core principles. It is best to face up to a challenge at the outset while he is still popular. Every week that goes by will make his task more, not less difficult. He talked of the audacity of hope. It is audacity, which is now called for if he is to give hope to all.

One question is being asked again and again. Here is a man who was not from the Establishment. Can he work the system, roll with the punches and still come out on the top like Bill Clinton or John Kennedy? Or will he be like Jimmy Carter-an idealist who was also naÃ¯ve and failed to break the Washington DC world. Being a nice man is not enough in politics anywhere; in American politics, it could be a positive disadvantage.

Train Hijacked Delhi to Kanpur

2009-02-05T22:08:00.000-08:00

Train Hijacked from Delhi to Kanpur, Two drivers not authorised to drive high speed trains 'hijacked' one from New Delhi to Kanpur on Wednesday night, their colleagues originally assigned to take the train to Ranchi told presspersons.

The driver and his co-driver stopped the authorised drivers from entering the engine cabin and drove off in what appears to be some kind of rivalry between drivers of different divisions of the railways.

The Ranchi-bound Gareeb Rath Express, which can reach a maximum speed of 130 km/hr, was driven 400 km to Kanpur by Harswarup, who is certified to drive trains not capable of exceeding 110 km/hr. Not only this, his co-driver, Rameshwar, too is not certified to drive a train like the Gareeb Rath, said the authorised drivers Shafi Ahmed and Manoj.

However, A.S. Negi, PRO of Northern Railways, claimed the two drivers were certified to drive the train. Harswarup and Rameshwar belong to Northern Railways, while Ahmed and Manoj are from North Central Railways.

Railway officials said trains such as the Rajdhani Express, Shatabdi Express and Gareeb Rath Express are capable of touching 130 km/hr.

The Gareeb Rath, with nearly 1,300 passengers, was taken safely to Ranchi by another crew, railway officials told HT. Amit Malviya, PRO of North Central Railways said, "The two other drivers were deployed by the drivers' lobby under Northern Railways that led to the misunderstanding among the drivers.".
