Michael Phelps Gets 8th Gold Medal

I watched the finals of the Men’s 4 x 100m Medley Relay swimming at the Cube Aquatic Swimming Center at Beijing. It was the race that could mark Michael Phelps 8th gold medal in a single Olympics. It didn’t always go the Americans way. Each of the American swimmers had different opponents to challenge en route a world record time of 3:29.34.

Phelps has stuck to his word of bagging 8 goal medals and this is surely going to be a very hard record to crack in the future. For me ,Phelps is the greatest swimmer to ever brace this generation!

Usain Bolt is the Worlds Fastest

I watched the Beijing 100m finals last night and witnessed the new worlds fastest man breaking the world record with ease!! The 21-year-old broke his own world record of 9.72 seconds to take the world record too 9.69 seconds. He could have easily gone below that if he had not started celebrating about 15 meters thumping his chest in delight!

Connect2Earth

Heard of connect2earth.org ?Its a initiative driven by WWF,IUCN and Nokia to get everyone to do their part in conserving the environment and the world!! The video above shows you that you don’t need to be a superhero to save the world.

What is it about?

We give you the one, the only, incredibly amazing, astoundingly stunning planet Earth.

It’s all we’ve ever had, and it’s pretty much all we’ve got left.

Yet research shows that we are using our planet’s resources at a faster rate than it can replenish them.

Climate change, deforestation, pollution, you name it. It’s all pretty much down to us and our insatiable appetite as a species.

So what do we do then?

How do we go about ensuring that the world we live on can indeed be lived on; within its means, within its capacity to support us. All of us.

How does it work?

You upload your photos, your videos or your text (a message, a poem, a slogan, a rant) via this web site or your mobile device.

Once your stuff is up, it can be voted and ranked by everyone else coming to this site. Those getting the most votes and the highest overall ranks will win some really cool mobile phones courtesy of Nokia (awarded at the end of each calendar month).

As we get closer to the World Conservation Congress in October 2008, a leading panel of figures will choose from all entries the ones that will be shown to the global gathering in Barcelona.

And from all of those, one person will be invited to come and attend the meeting and speak to the assembled mass of brains and influential brawn.

So now is the time to blow your trumpet, ring a few bells, sound the alarm - c’mon people!

Now’s our chance.

Let’s seize this day!

A Bolt of Lightning

Usain Bolt is now the world’s fastest man. Jamaican sprinter, who doesn’t even consider the 100 meters his best race, set the world record Saturday night with a time of 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Grand Prix, .02 seconds faster than the old record held by his countryman, Asafa Powell.

Bolt was using the 100 for “speed work” and to avoid having to run the more grueling 400, when, suddenly, he ran the world’s second-fastest time last month at 9.76. Even then, he said he wasn’t sure if he would give up the 400 meters for the 100 for the Beijing Olympics and who would blame him for doing that considering he is the new worlds fastest man!!

Watch him at the Olympics, dont be suprised if he smashes the record again!!

Do we really know?

I watched the movie Sicko over the weekend.Sicko was a classic Michael Moore movie revealing the truth about the American Health Care system. It simply shows how the people of America are suffering from a poor health care system and how the media has created a false impression over other countries.

Its pretty amazing, we all know that the Americans don’t like the French, the Cuban’s or anyone who tries to challenge them. In this movie, Michael Moore just went  to these countries and to see what the deal was in these countries. To his surprise, they were having wonderful lives, a superb health care system. They even have house calls and all for absolutely FREE!!

The highlight for me was when they discovered that the terrorist of 911 were in Guantano Bay and they had world class health care for FREE!! So they set off with a bunch of sick people to the detention centre to get some treatment but were not allowed in and ended up at Cuba their mortal enemy.

To their suprise they got free health care and superb care at the Cuban hospitals while medications they are used to paying with money from their life savings were as cheap as 5cents!

Its crazy isn’t it?! The lesson i learn was the media can feed as much information and has the capability to paint a picture which could just not be the truth!! Do your research, the internet is a great medium which promotes free press.You may be surprised that the people who were deemed enemies may be the nicest people around!

Keep a open mind on information you receive/read. The truth is only when you witness it yourself!
