Vital Water Resources Diverted to Beijing
Green Olympics at Great Cost
Beijing Redirects Essential Water from the South
The Chinese Communist Party sacrifices people's basic water usage to build the "Green Olympic" image.
Chinese communist authorities have spent 1.7 billion U.S. dollars to build new Olympic stadiums... the most ever in the history of the games.
And as part of a campaign to create a green image for Beijing, authorities are diverting water from nearby provinces to dry rivers and lakes in the capital. But where the water is coming from is what has many Chinese angry. Here's more from our China News team.
STORY:
Beijing has serious water pollution problems. Many reservoirs have almost dried up and there is barely enough water for current residents. There are big concerns about whether there would be enough...

Gurdwara Sri Bauli Sahib, Dhakauli
Gurdwara Sri Bauli Sahib Ji is situated in village 'Dhakauli' (distt. Patiala), Punjab, India. After winning the battle of Bhangani Sahib, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji visited this village.
The villagers told Guru Ji about water shortage in this village. On hearing this, Guru Gobind Singh Ji pierced his spear in the soil and immediately sweet and clean water started flowing.
Sikhs later constructed a 'Bauli' there.
A source of water is called 'Bauli' in which stairs are constructed to reach the water. Thus, a 'Bauli' is simply a covered reservoir built with stairs.
This historic 'Bauli' still exists.

World Food Crisis: Is global meat consumption a major cause?
Is a change of diet key to solving global warming & food crisis?
Some facts
While 100 million tons of grain are being diverted to make fuel this year, over seven times as much (760 million tons) will be used to feed animals. The world's passion for meat is a much bigger cause of global hunger than its passion for the car.
To maximise food production it is best to be vegan. According to Simon Fairlie, in his magazine The Land, it would take just 3 million hectares of arable land to meet Britain's food needs, half the current total, if the population were vegan.
* To produce 1 lb of meat, an average of 40 lbs of vegetation is used.
* 12 lbs of wheat produce 12 loaves of bread and only 1hamburger.
* It takes 3.25 acres of land to produce food for a meat eater on a continuing basis, while...

India@60 Agriculture
West Bengal is an eastern State of India sharing International border with Bangladesh. At times due to supply-shortage of electricity its agricultural activities in rural areas get badly affected.
This video, taken in August 2007, shows how agri-labourers use primitive devices to irrigate paddy fields, which produce less yields due to low water level as irrigation pumps do not operate to due frequent, abrupt and longer power interruption.

Nepal facing severe fuel shortage
Nepal is severely running short of fuel and in such a situation how to get hold of petrol is one of the hottest topics. It has created the chaos as the consequent shortage has led to rationing and pump queues of several kilometers. And even after queuing for a whole day, people here are getting only 10-15 liters and sometimes not even a liter.
Life is getting miserable and it's not those who depend on fuel for their livelihood but even those who don't, are suffering. Shortage of fuel supply has seriously affected the transportation because drivers jostle to keep their spots every time the queue edges forward and Nepali workers devote multiple hours or even days each week to filling up fuel.
As Nepal has just sworn in the new PM, tackling the increasing...

SriLankan ARMY Helped Vaharai Tamil Refugees
Those are the people trapped in the Tiger held areas of Wakarai. Sandwiched between war and peace, these impoverished Tamils had undergone untold hardships in the land cursed by the so called 'sun-god' who wanted them to starve in order to win the final battle against the Sri Lankan army, thus triggering off a massive humanitarian crisis in the North and the East.
Though they have prayed earnestly for help from the so called liberators, these innocent Tamils now sought refuge in the Sri Lankan army controlled areas, an area where they could live in harmony, though temporary shelters in make-shift Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps.
What is unfolding before our very eyes is a tragedy which the nation experienced throughout, mother with their infants, had fled the land of the...

Ethiopian Airlines Hijack 1996
On November 23, 1996, an Ethiopian Airlines B-767 aircraft en route from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Nairobi, Kenya, was hijacked by three Ethiopian males. The aircraft carried 163 passengers and 12 crew members from over 35 nations. The hijacking occurred at approximately 11:20 a.m. (zulu) in Ethiopian airspace. Approximately 20 minutes into the flight, the three Ethiopian males separately approached the cockpit from the rear of the aircraft. At least two of them had been in the lavatory before the aircraft took off. One of the men ran down the aisle toward the cockpit shouting statements that could not be understood, and his two accomplices followed soon after. The hijackers were described as young (mid-twenties), inexperienced, psychologically fragile, and intoxicated. They were clean...
