Manga Girl | Weight Lifting
Usually, I cannot find a lot of cool and stylish people in the weight lifting scene. But Wang Mingjuan is different. She just reminds me to a Manga girl and thus she gets my sympathies. However, this lovely girl is great in weight lifting too, She took the gold medal winning both Snatch and Clean and Jerk categories at last weeks world championships. Believe it or not, but she lifted with 98kg more then twice here body weight of 48kg.

Transformed Planet | Global Warming
Global warming is radically transforming the world we live in. Glaciers and ice caps are melting even faster than experts predicted, and rising temperatures are threatening life in traditionally warmer climates. Even those areas that might enjoy rising temperatures will be affected when other areas of the world are damaged.
Climate change has taken its toll on Africa's highest peak. Mount Kilimanjaro, the inactive volcano in northeastern Tanzania, has been losing its famed ice cap at a phenomenal rate. Researchers have calculated that the cap may completely disappear within 20 years.
Scientists say the effects of global warming in the Arctic region are increasing at an accerated rate. Glaciers are shrinking, and permafrost is thawing faster than ever, and there has been a notable increase in the temperature of the region's water.
Emissions from coal burning are a major cause of acid rain and air pollution and have been connected with global warming.
A polar bear stands on a drifting piece of ice off the northern coast of Greenland. Ice in the region has melted much more quickly than experts had predicted.
A child walks through a junkyard full of used plastic bottles on the outskirts of the northern Indian city of Chandigarh. Waste disposal and treatment can produce emissions of several greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change.
A view of the Huayna Potosi glacier in the Bolivian highlands. From the Himalayas to the Andes, faster-melting glaciers spell long-term risks for hydroelectric power generation and supplies of drinking water.
East Africa faces a critical shortage of water and food. Climate change has aggravated the situation.
The Brazilian Amazon holds 40 percent of the world's remaining tropical forests. It plays a vital role in bio-diversity conservation and climate regulation. A recent study from the WWF reported that deforestation could wipe out or severely damage nearly 60 percent of the Amazon's rainforests by 2030.
