QT’s new avatar builds bridges between East & West

AJIT KUMAR JHA

Welcome to the new avatar of Qatar Tribune.

The Sanskrit word ‘avatar’ means incarnation, or to be more accurate, manifestation, or appearance.

Since Qatar Tribune has turned threeand- a-half years old this month, it is time for us to get out of our nappies and don a new appearance, the fresh look of a frisky youngster ready to strike it big.

Chocolate-powered Racecar Makes Sustainability Sexy

BOSTON (Reuters Life!) – Fueled by leftover chocolate and with components made from carrots, potato starch and flax, the world's first sustainable Formula 3 racing car has a top speed of 135 miles per hour and can go from zero to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

Sound nuts? Not yet -- brake pads made from cashews are still under development.

LOS ANGELES — Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve.

Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't expect it to be blue — the name has nothing to do with the color of our closest celestial neighbor.

A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown.

"If you're in Times Square, you'll see the full moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of the Miami Space Transit Planetarium and host of a weekly astronomy TV show.

So what would you change your name to ??

He is so obsessed with the corn snack that he has even devised recipes to include Monster Munch in rice and pasta dishes.

THe 26-year-old finally changed his name after being dared to by friends.

I want to send Flowers/gifts to US next week. Can anyone give me a reliable site for sending the gifts. How many days will it take to deliver in Boston? It should reach there on 6th September.

I searched the net and found some sites, but not sure how reliable they are. I am sure some of our American friends can help me to choose the right one.

Chocolate cuts death rate in heart attack survivors

Heart attack survivors who eat chocolate two or more times per week cut their risk of dying from heart disease about threefold compared to those who never touch the stuff, scientists have reported.
Smaller quantities confer less protection, but are still better than none, according to the study, which appears in the September issue of the Journal of Internal Medicine.
Earlier research had established a strong link between cocoa-based confections and lowered blood pressure or improvement in blood flow.
It had also shown that chocolate cuts the rate of heart-related mortality in healthy older men, along with post-menopausal women.

It seems that racism still exists all over the world...................

The race row that has inflamed the US took a bizarre twist last night when a Boston police officer was suspended for abusing the Harvard scholar Professor Henry Louis Gates and calling him "a banana-eating jungle monkey".

Hours before President Barack Obama was to sit down at the White House for a beer with Professor Gates and Sergeant James Crowley to calm tensions over the academic's arrest, it emerged that another police officer, Justin Barrett, was accused of sending an insulting e-mail about Professor Gates to a local newspaper.
