Elephant in the Room - India's Biggest Art Work by Ryan International School

Today, 3,000 Ryan International School (Rohini) children joined aerial artist Daniel Dancer in New Delhi to form the image of an elephant to remind their leaders that they can’t afford to ignore climate change – the elephant in the living room.

On October 22 of this year, India's Environment Ministry, Jairam Ramesh, declared the elephant a “National Heritage Animal” to highlight it's unique role in India's history, culture, and ecology. It is for that reason that thousands of school children came together to form a giant image of an elephant in the country’s capital as a symbol of India's wish to preserve their history, culture, and ecology by countering the threat of climate change and taking actions that can lead the world back below 350 ppm CO2.

Like the tiger and other fauna of India and South Asia, the elephant, too, is affected by climate change. Increased drought from climate change as well as increased competition with humans, both as a result of development practices and climate migrations, could lead to significant loss of habitat. Not only is that bad news for elephants, but these habitats are now some of the vital remaining carbon sinks across the globe. If lost, it would further exacerbate climate change. Other potentially disasterous repercussions would include the rising seas along India's coasts.

Many thanks to Daniel Dancer, the 350 India team, the Ryan International School, and everyone who joined the event!

Longest Distance Travelled With A Fridge World Record set by Tony Hawks


Comedian Tony Hawks and his Lec fridge were officially awarded the Guinness World Records title for Longest Distance Travelled With A Fridge at the screening of the film about his ridiculous journey. The official distance travelled by Hawks is 1,025.26 miles. He hitchhiked round Ireland with the appliance after making a drunken bet with a mate.

The book of his adventure, Round Ireland with a Fridge was so well read that they made a film out of it, which is released this month on DVD. It's directed by Ed Bye and stars Tony Hawks, Ed Byrne, Sean Hughes, Valerie O'Connor, Josie Lawrence and Sara Crowe.

The fridge travels in many different cars, vans and lorries, is taken surfing, christened, blessed by nuns, accompanied by a bagpiper, taken to a bachelor festival and becomes the hero of a national radio station.

‘Hitching with a fridge teaches you to put your trust in the kindness of others and not to worry about the future, because as you soon realise when you're fridge-hiking, it's a pointless activity,’ says Hawks.

World's Largest Cricket Tournament - Himachal's T-20 set Guinness Record

The second edition of the Jaypee Twenty20 ‘Mahasangram', a local version of Twenty20 league and billed as the world's largest cricket tournament, began in Himachal Pradesh Monday, an organiser said here.

"The knock-out tournament that would see 1,342 teams playing, mainly from rural areas across the state, began this (Monday) morning. The inaugural matches were played at Kalpa (in Kinnaur district), Dharamsala (in Kangra district), Nadaun (in Hamirpur district), Kullu and Bilaspur," Mohit Sood, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) press secretary, told IANS.

He said 150 matches would be played daily at 75 grounds that have been improved and developed by the HPCA.

"Nearly 19,000 players would showcase their cricketing skills in the tournament that would see 2,000 matches. Around 500 officials of various cricket bodies are on duty to supervise the matches," Sood added.

Last year, 14,300 players from 1,017 teams participated in the tournament and matches were played at 60 places. Cash prizes of about Rs.30 lakh were distributed among the teams and the players.

The HPCA is spending around Rs.70 lakh on the tournament. Of this, Rs.30 lakh would be given as cash prizes to the winners, Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee chief Anurag Thakur said.

Teams even from the remotest parts like Pangi, Bharmour, Holi and Tissa in Chamba district, Leo, Spillo, Sangla and Kalpa in Kinnaur district, Sissu and Udaipur in Lahaul and Spiti district and Shillai in Sirmaur district are participating.

"We have got the maximum number of 226 teams from Chamba district, one of the remotest and most backward regions in the country," Sood said.

The event, he said, would enter the Guinness Book of World Records.

"Officials of the Guinness Book of World Records have decided in principle to include this tournament as the biggest cricket show on earth," he added.

The semi-finals and the final would be played under lights at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The picturesque stadium, situated nearly 4,000 feet above the sea level, has already hosted two Indian Premier League (IPL) matches earlier this year.

Interesting facts-Now this is a real Eco toilet

You probably thought eco-toilets are those plastic boxes set in public spaces where you just go in and handle your business, huh? Well, no, you were wrong and these photos prove it. As you can see, apart from the toilet bowl, everything is natural. And before you say “this is just stupid” you might like to know people build bars in trees too and place restaurants on them.
