The stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

noreply@blogger.com (4ALL2ALL) — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:30:00 PDT

The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa, with a 2,798 kilometres coastline on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. To the north lie Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an independent country wholly surrounded by South African territory - Wikipedia.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be The 19th FIFA World Cup on June 11,2010 - July 11,2010 in South Africa.

Peter Mokaba Stadium

Named after one of the renowned sons of the struggle and emancipation of South Africa against the apartheid regime, the Peter Mokaba Stadium holds much historical significance in South Africa. Peter Mokaba was born and bred in Polokwane and was renowned for his fighting spirit and for his inpirational leadership.

The design of the largely concrete structure is inspired by the locally iconic Baobab tree, with the steel structure supporting the roof plane gathered together at each corner of the stadium and supported by giant ‘trunk' structures which accommodate vertical circulation ramps and service cores.

The stadium was built next to the old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane in the Limpopo Province. The newly-built Peter Mokaba stadium is situated approximately 5km from the city centre, with a total seating capacity of 45,000.

Former African player of the Year, Didier Drogba made his international debut for Côte d'Ivoire in a memorable and decisive CAF African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium, with the home side prevailing 2-1.

Loftus Versfeld Stadium

Loftus Versfeld Stadium, situated in Tshwane/ Pretoria, is one of the oldest stadiums in South Africa. The stadium has been used for major sporting events since 1903, and the first concrete structure, which could accommodate only 2,000 spectators, was built by the City Council of Pretoria in 1923.

Since 1948 it has undergone perennial upgrades. It has been used for both rugby and football matches and is home to one of the country's top rugby teams, the Blue Bulls. Loftus Versfeld is in the heart of Tshwane/Pretoria and currently has a seating capacity of 50,000. It has hosted many significant matches including during the 1995 Rugby World Cup and 1996 CAF African Cup of Nations. It is now used by Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United as their home ground.

South Africa's national team, Bafana Bafana, achieved its first ever victory over a European side at this venue when they beat Sweden 1-0 in 1999.

Mbombela Stadium

The Mbombela Stadium is one of the newly-built stadia for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ and it takes its name from the local municipality which incorporates the city of Nelspruit. Mbombela is siSwati (one of the 11 official languages in South Africa) and literally means 'many people together in a small space.'

The stadium, with a capacity of 46,000, is located in the city of Nelspruit in Mpumalanga Province. It is situated approximately seven kilometers from the city centre and 12 kilometers from the nearby Kruger-Mpumalanga Airport. The ground also enjoys a close proximity to various game parks, giving spectators the opportunity to see the wildlife during rest days.

The Mbombela comes as a welcome addition to football life in Nelspruit, and will leave a legacy of the beautiful game for all the people of Mpumalanga. Before the Stadium's construction, Nelspruit had no top football venue to host international matches.

Royal Bafokeng Stadium

The Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace is one of the stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The stadium is named after the Bafokeng people who live in the area.

In 1999, the Bafokeng won a legal battle, which entitled them to 20% on the platinum which is mined on their historical land. Hence, they have shares in platinum mining in the area. Upon completion, the stadium will seat 42,000.

The South African national team played a FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Bakino Faso in 2001, and won 2-1. It has been host to many Premier Soccer League games despite Rustenburg not having its own team.

The stadium is only a 25 minute drive to Sun City and 30 minutes to the Pilansberg. It is 12 kilometers from the Rustenburg city centre.

Ellis Park Stadium

Ellis Park Stadium is located in the centre of Johannesburg and has hosted many epic sporting events including the final of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup between Brazil and the United States. The ground was given a significant face-lift before the Confederations Cup finals and now seats 62,000 fans, increasing its capacity by almost nine per cent from the previous 57,000.

Ellis Park was first built in 1928 as a rugby union stadium. It was demolished and rebuilt in 1982, again exclusively for rugby. It was named after JD Ellis, a Johannesburg city councilor who approved the use of the land for a stadium, setting aside a full 13 acres.

The ground will always occupy a special place in the hearts of the country's sporting fans after the South African rugby team shocked New Zealand to lift the 1995 Rugby World Cup trophy soon after being allowed back onto the world sporting stage. It was a moment that brought the people of South Africa together in celebration as the iconic scenes of Nelson Mandela holding aloft the trophy at Ellis Park were beamed around the world.

The largest piece of construction has been the new tier on the north stand which has increased the seating capacity to 62,000. With state-of-the-art media facilities, team whirlpools, top-class VIP areas for dignitaries, accessibility for disabled fans, a new pitch and a top-notch audio-visual setup to keep the fans informed during the game, no one will be left disappointed.

Ellis Park is home to one of the country's most popular clubs, Orlando Pirates FC.

Soccer City Stadium

One of the most artistic and awe-inspiring football venues on the African continent, the newly-reconstructed Soccer City Stadium will host the first and final matches of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.

The ground's design is inspired by the iconic African pot known as the calabash, and its aesthetic appeal will be heightened when the stadium is lit at night. Soccer City is located in Johannesburg's southwest and is only a short distance from one of the country's football-crazy townships, Soweto. About 40 per cent of Johannesburg's population live in Soweto and this proximity is bound to make the stadium a hub of activity throughout the 2010 finals.

The stadium is widely regarded as the heart of football in South Africa as it has hosted many important matches through history. In the mid 1980s, officials came together to build the first international football stadium in the country and the construction was funded from the football fraternity's coffers. Soccer City hosted the first mass rally of Nelson Mandela after his release from prison in 1990. Thousands of mourners lamented Chris Hani's assassination at the stadium in 1993. It was also the venue for the 1996 CAF African Cup of Nations final, with South Africa eventually triumphing 2-0 over Tunisia.

The original stadium, which was known as the FNB Stadium, had a capacity of 80,000. Upgrades involved extending the upper tier to increase the capacity to 94,700; adding 99 more suites to bring the number to 184; constructing an encircling roof; adding new changing room facilities and installing new floodlighting.

Free State Stadium

Home to some of the country's most fanatical group of supporters, the Free State Stadium is likely to be the centre of attention during the FIFA World Cup™. The stadium was given a plush new look for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup . It hosted the memorable semi-final match between Spain and USA where the latter secured one of the biggest surprises of the tournament by sending the European champions packing in front of a capacity crowd.

The Free State Stadium was upgraded from a capacity of 38,000 to 45,000 during the refurbishments. The stadium has hosted numerous major football and rugby union matches, and Bloemfontein's natives are renowned for their passion for sport. While the former played second fiddle to the latter for decades, football's popularity explosion - aided by the emergence of Bloemfontein Celtic - is changing this. The Celtic fans are known as Siwelele, a Sotho term.

Durban Stadium

The newly-built Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban will host one of the semi-finals of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™. The ground epitomises the architectural innovation on display in South Africa and takes its design inspiration from the South African flag, with its grand arch representing the unity of this sport-loving nation. The two legs of the arch on the southern side of the stadium come together to form a single footing on the northern side, symbolising the new unity of a once-divided country.

The 70,000-seater has been specifically designed as a multi-purpose venue and an amphitheatre complete with a cable car which ascends to a viewing platform at the top of the expansive 350m arch, a staggering 106m above the pitch. From this vantage point, visitors can experience spectacular panoramic views of the nearby shoreline and the city. The roof is attached to the arch by 95mm-diameter steel cables. Each seat of the stadium is spacious and comfortable, providing a clear line of sight to the pitch.

It is a world-class and multifunctional arena located in the heart of the Kings Park Sporting Precinct. Durban's Moses Mabhida Stadium will be the jewel in the crown of the Kings Park Sporting precinct. The entire area will feature additional sporting arenas and facilities as well as restaurants, shops, play areas for children and a pedestrian walkway linking the stadium complex to the beach.

The stadium was built on the site of the old Kings Park Stadium. Moses Mabhida, the ground's namesake, was born in Thornville near Pietermaritzburg on 14 October 1923 into a poor family who were later forced off their land. In 1963, Mabhida was asked by Oliver Tambo while working in Prague rallying support from the World Federation of Trade Unions, to come back to Africa to develop the ANC's armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK). He underwent military training and became the chief political instructor of new military recruits. He later served as the commander of MK.

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, set on the shores of the North End Lake is the first football dedicated stadium in the city or surrounding areas. The stadium, one of the newly-built stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, was completed a year prior to the commencement of the world's greatest show on earth - a major milestone for the city.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium will host the match for third place , and a quarter-final amid a total of eight matches during the FIFA World Cup. The stadium has an eye-catching, unique roof-structure and a spectacular view, overlooking the North End Lake.

Before the construction of this multi-purpose venue, all international football matches were played at the Eastern Province rugby stadium, the EPRU Stadium. The playing field is going to be of natural grass with the outer /surrounding area to be artificial turf. One of its first major test events was the coveted Soweto Derby between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs - a game that attracts capacity crowds in South Africa.

Green Point Stadium

One of the most artistic football venues in South Africa, the newly-built Green Point Stadium is situated in one of the much sought-after areas in the city of Cape Town. Green Point Stadium is one of the two semi-final venues for the FIFA World Cup™.

This multi-purpose venue is also going to be used to stage major events and concerts. Fans will be a stone's throw from the ocean and the mountains of Cape Town will also provide the backdrop for matches. The location is ideal as it is a short walk from the transportation hub of the city. The new stadium has been partly built on land that was previously used as a golf course.

The stadium, which has an exterior that is covered with noise-reducing cladding has a capacity of 70,000 and is scheduled for completion in December 2009. The Green Point Common, on which the new 2010 stadium is being built, was originally much larger than what now remains, and included most of the land between the sea and Signal Hill, stretching from the city centre towards Sea Point.

Cape Town has another world-standard stadium, Newlands, but this is primarily used as a rugby union venue. Post FIFA World Cup, the Green Point Stadium is likely to be used by some of the Cape Town-based professional football outfits that include Ajax Cape Town and Santos.

Cholesterol Risk Calculator

noreply@blogger.com (4ALL2ALL) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:08:00 PDT

MB Free Cholesterol Risk Calculator is a simple health tool that calculates your cholesterol levels and the risk of having a heart attack based on your cholesterol levels.

A high cholesterol level is a major risk factor for heart attacks.

Blood Cholesterol level is one of major risk factors for any heart disease. Cholesterol is a waxy substance in our body that protects our nerves. Too much of cholesterol can lead to accumulation in arteries and thus reduce the blood supply to the heart. This may result in a stroke or heart attack.

A heart attack can be defined as the condition that occurs when a part of the heart’s wall muscles is deprived of blood. This may lead to the death of some muscle cells. This happens when blood supply isn’t regular and is blocked by fat deposits or blockages.

This software is based on the Framingham Heart Study. This software can be used as guideline to take preventive measures that can eliminate or reduce the risk of a heart attack.

MP3Gain - Analyzes and Adjusts MP3 files

noreply@blogger.com (4ALL2ALL) — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:58:15 PST

MP3Gain analyzes mp3 files to determine how loud they sound to the human ear. It can then adjust the mp3 files so that they all have the same loudness without any quality loss.

This way, you don't have to keep reaching for the volume dial on your mp3 player every time it switches to a new song.

MP3Gain operates in two modes : Track and Album :

Track mode volume-corrects a mix of unrelated songs to a selected level. MP3Gain calculates the volume level for each song individually. It then corrects each song to make its volume level match the Target Volume.

For example, if you have 3 songs that have volume levels of 86, 91 and 89 dB and you use Track Gain to convert them to a Target Volume of 92 dB, they will all be at approximately 92 dB.

Album mode volume-corrects a collection of related songs (as they would appear on a CD, or "album") relative to other collections of songs. Applying Album gain is like adjusting the volume knob once for each CD you put in your CD player. The overall volume of the album is adjusted to the Target Volume, but the volume differences between the mp3s in the album are preserved.

For example, if you have 3 songs that have volume levels of 86, 91 and 89 dB, then the overall volume of this "album" will probably be around 89 dB. If the Target Volume is set to 92 dB, then when you apply Album Gain MP3Gain will increase the volume of each of these songs by +3 dB.

MP3Gain is completely freeware. No registration, no time limits, no disabled features, no annoying pop-up messages, or anything like that.

Eggs help slip the yoke of sickness

noreply@blogger.com (4ALL2ALL) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:13:49 PST

Herbalist Hoai Vu says chicken egg yolks are more nutritious than the whites.

In Vietnam, yolks are used to make a handful of remedies and traditional medicines that help treat sore throat, red eye, hoarseness and impotence.

Vu says yolks are particularly good for the lungs and can help reduce fever and detoxify the body. He says their nutrients help improve memory, particularly in children and the elderly. Pregnant women, convalescents and the ill are encouraged to eat egg yolks to help revitalize their bodies.

According to Vu, a 100-gram chicken egg contains 12.7g of protein and 159mg of vitamin A as well as vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, D and E.

Mix egg with honey and lemon to foster strength

Beat two egg yolks with 50ml pure honey until they dissolve together. Pour 50ml boiling water into the mixture and beat steadily for a minute or two. When the mixture is about 40 degrees Celsius, squeeze half a lemon into the bowl, but remember to remove the lemon seeds beforehand. Then stir everything together and drink while it’s still warm.

Make sure you do not add the lemon before the drink has reached 40 degree or below. Too much heat will make the lemon bitter and destroy the vitamins in its juice. This beverage should be taken in the morning as breakfast, along with bread or cake.

But Vu warned that raw eggs, including egg yolks and egg whites, should never be eaten. Egg whites contain risky amounts of biotin (Vitamin H or B7), which can cause gastric problems and diarrhea. And your body only absorbs 30 percent of the eggs’ nutrients when you eat them raw, as opposed to close to 100 percent when cooked.

Eggs are harsh on the liver and people with liver problems should not eat more than three eggs a week. People who suffer arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure or coronary disease should not eat more than one egg yolk a day as it is high in cholesterol.

Porridge and egg for colds

A cold usually means headache, runny nose, physical discomfort and occasional shivers. Instead of searching through the medicine cabinet, boil up a small pot of rice gruel and put it in a bowl along with 50g of shredded tía tô (perrila) leaves, three shredded violet onions, 10g of shredded ginger, some black pepper and a chicken egg yolk. Stir the mixture thoroughly so that the heat cooks the yolk, season it with salt, and eat while still hot.

Stop the runs with egg and apricot leaves

Dysentery is a common consequence of eating hot, spicy food and can be countered by an eating omelet with apricot leaves. To prepare it, start by putting three eggs and 50g of shredded apricot leaves in a bowl and beating thoroughly with a whisk or fork.

Lay a piece of green banana leaf in a pan, cover it with the eggs and apricot leaves, and place the pan over a medium fire. When the egg is done to a turn, flip the whole lot over and cook the other side. The telltale sign that the omelet is ready is the scent of apricot leaves wafting through the kitchen. When that happens, take the pan off the stove, carefully transfer the omelet to a plate, and serve with salt.

It features the costume worn by late Beatles frontman John Lennon when he performed the anti-Vietnam War anthem “Give peace a chance” in the US capital Washington in 1969, Presley’s baseball uniform, and a guitar signed by the members of the Eagles.

British singer-songwriter Rod Stewart’s jacket and a denim jacket worn by Bon Jovi frontman Jon Bon Jovi, considered a must-have fashion accessory in the 1980s, are also on display.

There are photos, album covers of world famous musicians, and magazine covers featuring some of the biggest acts in rock.

Hard Rock International has licensed Viet Thai International Joint Stock Company, owner of the popular Highlands Coffee chain, to open Vietnam’s first Hard Rock Café.

Hard Rock Café is also the world’s leading collector and exhibitor of rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia, sending its 70,000 pieces from restaurant to restaurant around the world, providing a comprehensive visual history of rock music.

It has 128 cafés and 12 hotels/casinos in more than 50 countries and territories.

No smoking in public places from next year

noreply@blogger.com (4ALL2ALL) — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 20:14:36 PST

The Ministry of Health has launched a nationwide campaign to promote a smoking ban in indoor public places that will take effect in 2010.

The launching ceremony for the mass media campaign called “Cigarettes Are Eating You Alive” was jointly held by the ministry, the World Health Organization and the World Lung Foundation (WLF).

The campaign will inform millions of Vietnamese smokers about the serious health effects of tobacco and secondhand smoke on adults and children by broadcasting two ads about the issue on nationwide television channels.

“Cigarettes Are Eating You Alive” visually depicts how smoking damages vital organs of the body and can cause serious health problems, even death, in children who are exposed to cigarette smoke.

The campaign was originally created and used effectively as part of a comprehensive tobacco control program in New York City, according to a WLF press release posted on its website on December 18.

The ads were rigorously tested in several countries, including Vietnam, and were found to motivate smokers to try to quit. The campaign has already aired in Ukraine, Lebanon, Poland and Australia, but Vietnam is the first country in Asia to launch these ads.

The first ad shows in graphic detail how cigarettes damage the lungs, heart and brain by causing strokes. A second ad shows that children exposed to cigarette smoke suffer more respiratory infections, ear infections, asthma and worse still, sudden infant death.

Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Xuyen said more young people have become addicted to smoking and new addictions were increasingly seen among younger ones.

This was an “alarming” issue that would increase the incidence of and deaths due to tobacco-related diseases, she said.

In August, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung signed a decision to ban smoking in indoor public places, starting on January 1, 2010.

The places will include classrooms, healthcare facilities, libraries, theaters, cultural centers, public vehicles and indoor workplaces.

Violators will be warned and can be fined between VND50,000 (US$2.7) and VND100,000 ($5.4). Inspectors from concerned agencies will be assigned to enforce the decision.

Under the plan, higher taxes will be imposed on making cigarettes more expensive from now to 2010. Only authorized retail outlets would be allowed to sell the products after 2010.

Vietnam will continue to ban tobacco sales to people under 18 as well as sales via the Internet, telephone and automatic vending machines.

Tobacco use is responsible for more than five million deaths each year and one in ten preventable deaths worldwide, according to WLF.

In Vietnam, it kills almost 40,000 people each year. Half of Vietnamese adult men are smokers, and about two-thirds of children and women are frequently exposed to secondhand smoke at home and in public places, it says.
