"Westports is proud to have one of the largest companies in the world operating at the Westports LBT terminal," said Westports'' Executive Director, Ruben Emir Gnanalingam in the statement released here, today.

He added that Shell, emerging as a conventional client, certainly speaks volume of Westports' strength, especially its strategic location to attract leading industries to undertake commercial activities at the port.

The terminal spans 9.71 hectares and includes access to Westports’ jetty that is medium range/long range vessel capable, cargo lines, fuel and chemical tanks and gantry facilities. -- Bernama

Formula One: Fernandes pleased with praise

FORMULA One supremo Bernie Ecclestone's criticism of struggling new teams does not affect Lotus Racing.
Lotus team principal Datuk Seri Dr Tony Fernandes described Eccletone's statement in British motor racing magazine Autosport as a shot-in-the-arm for the team, as he had singled out Lotus Racing as a worthwhile addition to the series.

"It isn't easy, but we have to keep on making improvements. To have Ecclestone make such statements about the team just goes to show we've come a long way in just seven months," said Fernandes.

In the article on Wednesday, Ecclestone hinted that some of the new teams may not make it to the end of the season and they wouldn't be missed should they drop out.
Ecclestone added it was costly for the organisers to pay for the teams to compete without them making much of an impact.

He, however, branded Lotus as a good name to have in the sport, and that while the International Automobile Federation will soon decide on applications to fill the slot initially allocated for USF1 (supposed to be the fourth new team this season), he personally wouldn't mind Formula One going back to a 10-team grid, but with more quality.

"We didn't over-promise and we didn't under-achieve. We met all our targets so far.

"People said we weren't going to make it to the grid at the start of the season and we were there.

"Then we targeted being the best of the new teams and we are there," said Fernandes.

"Now we're clawing our way closer to the established teams and we're about a mere second behind Toro Rosso already. Things will fall into place. We have the belief, a good team and we're already working on next year's car."

On another note, Fernandes said Malaysian test driver Fairuz Fauzy's future is now up to him to shape it, with the team lining up more regular Friday sessions for him.

"Of course, we want him to achieve his dream (of being in a race seat), but he has to show that he is ready and can be competitive. So far, in the Friday sessions that he has done, everything has been positive.

"The team are very impressed with the professionalism that he has shown," said Fernandes.

Commonwealth Games: Security not a threat in New Delhi

NATIONAL athletes need not be worried about security during the New Delhi Commonwealth Games (CWG), said Malaysian Chef-de-Mission (CDM) Tan Sri Abdul Halil Abdul Mutalib.
Abdul Halil said athletes should just focus on the task ahead and not be worried about issues like security because the organisers had given their assurance that there would not be any security problems.

"Athletes should just concentrate on their training and leave issues of security to us because if there was any security issue, Wisma Putra would advise us," he said.

"Thus far we have not received any advise or warning from New Delhi for the Commonwealth Games (on Oct 3-14).
"However, we will monitor the situation in New Delhi, especially issues of security, through the Malaysian High Commission there but so far everything is fine," he said yesterday.

The security alarm was raised following reports that the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), a Sikh separatist group, may cause problems during the Games.

Abdul Halil said two National Sports Council (NSC) officers are in New Delhi to attend a seminar on safety during the Games and to gather latest information of the situation there.

Meanwhile, chairman of the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee, Suresh Kalmadi when commenting on the latest security issue related to KLF said: "All is well in New Delhi."

"Security is a critical component for the success of the Games. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India and the Delhi Police will ensure that the Games are held in a safe and secure environment, not only at all the competition and non-competition venues, but throughout the length and breadth of the city of Delhi," he said on the official Commonwealth Games website, yesterday.

Malaysia are expected to send 190 athletes who will compete in 14 of the 17 sports organised in New Delhi. -- Bernama-nst online

Sixgill Shark Attack:Surprising Creatures Found Deep off Australia

Taking the scientists' bait, a sixgill shark's attack 4,600 feet (1,400 meters) below the surface of the Coral Sea off Australia (see map) is captured in a new video image.
Reaching roughly 13 feet (4 meters) long, the sixgill shark is among deep-sea species never before filmed at such depths, according to the the Queensland Brain Institute, which released the first images from new high-tech remote-control cameras this week.
Often referred to as prehistoric or a "living fossil" because of its resemblance to sharks that lived hundreds of millions of years ago, sixgills are being studied as part of the Deep Australia Project, an ongoing effort to discover the the evolutionary origins of human sight—making the sixgill's night vision of particular interest to researchers.

(Related: "Hundreds of New Reef Creatures Found in Australia.")
"This technology will help the discovery of deep-sea creatures' adaptations to the challenges of living at crushing depths and in freezing and dark water," project manager Kylie Greig said in a statement.
"Here they must find food and mates in the dark and avoid being eaten themselves. We are interested in the sensory systems used for this lifestyle."

IGBP Climate-Change Index

Global-change trends for the public and policymakers

Launched in Copenhagen, 9 December 2009

The IGBP Climate-Change Index brings together key indicators of global change: atmospheric carbon dioxide, temperature, sea level and sea ice. It will be released annually.

• The index gives an annual snapshot of how the planet's complex systems - the ice, the oceans, the land surface and the atmosphere - are responding to the changing climate.
• The index rises steadily from 1980 - the earliest date the index has been calculated.
• The change is unequivocal, it is global, and it is in one direction.

Passenger trains collide in India, killing more than 50

KOLKATA: Two express passenger trains collided in eastern India in the early hours of Monday morning, killing at least 50 people, television reports said.
One of the trains ploughed into the back of the other as it was standing at a station in Birbhum district, around 200 kilometers north of Kolkata, the
state capital of West Bengal.

Two news channels said between 50 and 70 people may have died, while the Headlines Today network put the toll as high as 100.

The accident occurred shortly before 2:00am (2030 GMT Sunday).

There was no immediate official confirmation of the number of dead.

"Casualties have taken place. I cannot give any number now. Rescue work has begun," Birbhum Superintendent of Police Humayun Kabir told the Press Trust of India.

The impact was so strong, that the main section of one train carriage had been flung over an overhanging railway bridge, television footage showed.

Rescue workers could be seen trying to cut their way into the mangled wreckage of other compartments that had imploded under the force of the crash.

The accident came less than two months after a train collision blamed on Maoist saboteurs killed nearly 150 people in West Bengal. -AFP

Diamond Stud Earrings: Elegant Unisexuality

A diamond stud earring is made up of just one perfectly cut diamond, set in fine gold or silver. The simplicity of the design itself is its own selling point: anything fancier and you could easily fall into the trap of over-accessorizing. A single-stone earring is singled out for its sophisticated look.
A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth, corundum, the stuff from which rubies and sapphires are formed. Only diamonds can cut other diamonds. Ironically, diamonds are also brittle. If you hit one hard with a hammer, it will shatter. If it is placed in an oven and heated to about 763 degrees Celsius (1405 degrees Fahrenheit), it will simply vanish, releasing only a little carbon dioxide and NO visible traces whatsoever.
Contrary to popular perception, diamond stud earrings are not just for women! There are quite a few male celebrities who have popularized the use of ear accessories -- Johnny Depp being among the more famous of them. Respected artists like Usher and Kanye West have taken to sporting diamond earrings. Morgan Freeman wore a diamond earring to a roundtable discussion of his movie "The Sum of All Fears" in Washington DC in May 2002.
If stud earrings ever looked elegant on a woman, ironically enough they fantastically boost the macho appeal of the men who wear them. The purity of the stone, the value of the stud, all speak highly of the man's discerning taste, his eye for refinement. After all, uncouth bad boy-types aren't the only virile types in the world -- the snazzy, clean-cut James Bond figure has also been universally identified as irresistibly macho.

The virtue of the diamond stud earring lies in its unisex appeal. Both men and women have the privilege of accessorizing, and a single diamond stud is sometimes more than enough to set off their own personal styles. A simple diamond stud earring is timeless, and appropriately goes with the saying "Fashion fades. Style is eternal."

In the ultra-competitive affiliate marketing landscape,

In the ultra-competitive affiliate marketing landscape, it’s a good idea to always be on the lookout for new and innovative ways to promote products. Somewhat ironically, a great new space for affiliate promotions is actually an advertising medium that’s been around a long time: television.
Up to now, advertising on TV was far too expensive and complicated for the average marketer. However, Google recently introduced Google TV, which allows practically anyone to create TV spots within their AdWords account and run them on national cable TV. One of the most amazing parts is the low cost- as low as $20 for an ad spot!
Considering the huge potential reach of television, this can be a great way to advertise your own product or separate yourself from other affiliates who are promoting the same product. And considering how powerful and relatively inexpensive video creation tools and software packages are today, it’s reasonable for almost anyone to create a simple TV ad they can test out.
If you’re not sure you’re capable of creating an effective TV ad, check out this Copyblogger post on the topic. It’s written from the perspective of promoting a blog, but the same idea applies to ClickBank products or affiliate websites. It has some great advice on making your ad compelling to viewers.
One important thing to remember is that if you’re an affiliate who’s using this service, you shouldn’t try to promote a basic HopLink, since advertising on TV requires that viewers be able to remember the website so they can type it in. HopLink URLs are too complicated for this purpose, so your best bet is to send traffic to an affiliate landing page, such as a review site, blog, or other content-based site, where you then recommend one or more ClickBank products to your visitors. Try to keep the URL of your site as simple and memorable as possible. If you’re a vendor and want to send traffic to your own site, you can just send people directly to your Pitch Page URL.
If you’ve been struggling to make AdWords work for you due to the level of competition or pricing, it’s worth checking out Google TV to see if it could be an effective new way to promote products. Some of the best strategies for affiliate marketing success are testing out new promotional techniques and being an early entrant into new marketing spaces before they get overcrowded and too competitive. Who knows- you could end up being the next advertising mogul!

2010 Fifa World Cup Closing ceremony of 'lights, splendour'

Closing ceremony of 'lights, splendour'

9 July 2010
A combination of fireworks and the latest light effects technology will mark the closing ceremony of the 2010 Fifa World Cup on Sunday night. The ceremony, to be broadcast to millions of television viewers worldwide, takes place at Johannesburg's Soccer City Stadium from 6.30pm local time.
"We are looking at a youthful and technologically advanced closing ceremony and, because it is at night time, the event will feature a lot of lighting technology," Organising Committee spokesperson Jamaine Craig said on Wednesday.
He confirmed that Shakira and local group Freshlyground would perform their number one hit "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" during the closing ceremony.
The official song of the 2010 World Cup has reportedly reached the one million sales mark since it became available on 11 May, making the fastest-selling single and the biggest-selling World Cup single in the history of the tournament.
It is still not clear who, between President Jacob Zuma or Fifa president Sepp Blatter, will be handing over the trophy to the winning team, as there is no official protocol for this.

Three-million spectators

Meanwhile, Fifa announced earlier this week that three-million spectators had so far turned up at stadiums across the country since the start of the World Cup, the third-highest overall total in the history of the event, behind only the 1994 and 2006 tournaments.
"It's very impressive, and we are expecting another milestone as the tournament progresses to the final matches," said spokesman Nicolas Maingot.
Fan Fests also continued to be a resounding success, and Fifa is hoping to have recorded a five million worldwild attendance when the tournament closes on Sunday. On Tuesday, night Cape Town recorded a turnout of 49 144 people watching the game at a Fan Fest, the highest for the Mother City so far.
