Politics / South African President Jacob Zuma Booed At The Mandela's Memorial Service by abdolleez(m): 7:40pm On Dec 10, 2013
Jacob Zuma, the South African president, was booed
and jeered before his speech at the memorial as in a
major public humiliation in front of leaders six
months before national elections. Many South
Africans in the ten thousands-strong crowd emptied
their seats of the stadium during his address.
Zuma said that everyone had a Madiba moment in
their life as Mandela "touched their lives".
"That we are Madiba's compatriots and that we lived
in Madiba's time is a reason for great celebration," he
said.
At a landmark moment at the ceremony, Obama
shook the hand of Raul Castro, leader of long-time
Cold War foe Cuba, in an unprecedented gesture
between the leaders of two nations which have been
at loggerheads for more than half a century. Castro
smiled as Obama shook his hand on the way to the
podium to make his speech at the commemoration,
indicating that such antagonisms have been put on
mute on Tuesday.
In his speech, Raul Castro, quoted his brother Fidel
Castro, former Cuba leader, and said, "Mandela will
not go down in history for the 27 years he spent
behind bars... but because he was able to free his
soul from the poison that such unjust punishment
can cause."
Ban Ki-Moon, the United Nations Secretary-General
who is also attending the ceremony, said: "He has
done it again.... We see leaders representing many
points of view, and people from all walks of life. All
here, united... He showed the awesome power of
forgiveness and of connecting people with each
other."
David Cameron, the British prime minister who did
not make an address at the memorial, said it was
clear that people of South Africa want to say goodbye
to the "great man" and "commemorate what he did",
but also "celebrate his life and celebrate his legacy." Source: m.aljazeera.com/se/20131210134926782841

Sports / Fifa Unveils “brazuca,” The Official 2014 World Cup Ball by abdolleez(m): 9:30am On Dec 04, 2013
She’s beautiful, isn’t she?
World Cup supplier adidas officially unveiled the ball
for next summer’s extravaganza in an event at
Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.
The brazuca is different from any other previous
World Cup ball in several ways. What you notice right
away is that it consists of only six polyurethane
panels, down from the Jabulani’s eight panels. This
follows adidas’ trend of reducing the number of
seams on their balls; adidas’ first World Cup balls
consisted of thirty-two panels.
The six thermal-bonded panels are irregularly
shaped, almost propeller-like, and are meant to
produce faster flight speed, a more stable flight path
and maintain true roundness. This should be music
to the ears of goalkeepers and players who
lambasted the Jabulani for its unpredictable flight
path.
The surface texture of the ball is also new. The
Jabulani was the first ball that featured tiny, raised
nubs to improve traction and control in all weather
conditions. The Brazuca also features these, but are
round like on a basketball. The Jabulani’s nubs were
more rectangular in shape. We’re not sophisticated
enough to understand why, or even if, that makes
much of a difference, though.
Then there’s the name itself, of course. For the first
time ever, adidas let fans of the World Cup host
nation name the ball. Millions of Brazilians turned out
to vote, with “brazuca,” an informal word used by
Brazilians to describe national pride, taking 77.8% of
the vote. “Bossa Nova” was a distant second in the
voting.
When adidas hosted media outlets at its World Cup
kickoff event last month, we learned that their
innovation lab already started developing the ball
three years ago, and began testing the prototype just
six months later. The brazuca thus became adidas’
most tested ball ever, with over 600 players involved
throughout the process. The ball was also secretly
tested at this year’s Under-20 World Cup.
The brazuca is adidas’ most tested ball of all time
All that hard work seems to have paid off. Many of
the game’s top stars have already taken a liking to it.
Take a look

Health / Japan’s Okinawa Island – The Healthiest Place On Earth by abdolleez(m): 2:50pm On Mar 28, 2013
I used to think that there were only a handful of people over the age of 100 in the world. How wrong was I! The Japanese island of Okinawa alone has about 457 of them. It is considered to be the healthiest place in the world, where the average life expectancy of an Okinawan woman is 86, and man’s is 78. Not only do they live long lives, they live very healthy and happy ones too. A fine example is 96-year-old martial artist Seikichi Uehara, who, at his age, defeated a thirty-something ex-boxing champion. And also Nabi Kinjo, the 105-year-old woman who hunted down a poisonous snake and killed it with a fly swatter.

The Okinawans’ secret, I’ve come to understand, lies in two things – their food, and their attitude towards life. As a happy bunch of people, the elders seem to have no worry etched on their faces, stress seems to be a foreign concept to them. An 88-year-old farmer who still works 11-hour days at the field, says, “I hardly ever get angry. I enjoy life because I’m happy at work and I think that’s the medicine for a long life.” I completely agree, and I wish I could look at life the way this brilliant guy does…

Most of the over-85-years-old elderly I’ve ever met seem to be waiting to die, sick of dealing with their physical pains and of struggling to survive on small pensions, but not the Okinawans. They have a child-like zeal towards life, wanting to live more. Even a 100-year-old woman says she would like to live a few more years to spend with her grandchildren. As the old Okinawan saying goes, “At 70 you are still a child, at 80 a young man or woman. And if at 90 someone from Heaven invites you over, tell him: ‘Just go away, and come back when I am 100.’” I think that perfectly illustrates their philosophy on life.

The Okinawan eating habits are certainly worth a mention as well. Their regular diet is not based on red meat, but largely on rice, fish and vegetables. One of their popular dishes, Mimiga, is made from pig ears – low in fat and high in calcium. They also eat plenty of tofu, and vegetables such as bitter gourd (Goiya) and sweet potato are a staple. The Okinawan sweet potato is especially nutritious – one medium sized baked potato is said to contain over 20,000 IU of beta carotene and Vitamin A. Sounds like an incredibly healthy diet but some of them do indulge in a cup full of a locally brewed rice wine called Awamori, each night.
