1 February 2012 THE HAGUE, Netherlands — One of Muammar Gaddafi’s daughters asked on Tuesday to intervene in proceedings against her brother at the International Criminal Court, saying she wants to protect his interests. The court has charged Seif al-Islam Gaddafi with crimes against humanity for his alleged involvement in the brutal crackdown early last year on anti-government protesters who eventually toppled his father’s 42-year-old dictatorship. But the court has still not got custody of Seif and appears unlikely to any time soon. He was arrested in November by rebel fighters in Libya’s remote southern desert and has been held largely without access to the outside world ever since. Libya’s new rulers say they want to put him on trial, but they must first convince judges in The Hague he will get a fair trial on the same charges as those in the ICC case. Aisha Gaddafii filed a request through her lawyer Nick Kaufman to act as a “friend of the court” to provide “concrete ...

When he was young, Tendulkar would practice for hours on end in the nets. If he became exhausted, Achrekar would put a one-rupee coin on the top of the stumps, and the bowler who dismissed Tendulkar ...

29 January 2012 LONDON- People spending money to enjoy different experiences in everyday life, such as on days out or concert tickets, are happier than those who spend on buying possessions, says a study. This was the finding of a study of 9,600 people who were questioned about their shopping habits, as well as to ascertain personality traits, values and life satisfaction, the Daily Mail reported. Extroverts and people who are open to new experiences tend to spend more of their disposable income on treats, such as on a weekend away or concert tickets instead of visiting the mall for material items. According to the study led by San Francisco State University Assistant Professor of Psychology Ryan Howell, these habitual “experiential shoppers” reaped long-term benefits from their spending since they reported greater life satisfaction. For his latest study, Howell and colleagues surveyed nearly 10,000 participants, who completed online questionnaires about their shopping habit...

People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion. It is hard for a seeing person to imagine, but the body’s need for sleep is so strong that it is able to handle virtually all physical situations to make it happen. 9. You Forget 90% of your Dream s Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream if forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone. The famous poet, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, woke one morning having had a fantastic dream (likely opium induced) – he put pen to paper and began to describe his “vision in a dream” in what has become one of English’s most famous poems: Kubla Khan. Part way through (54 lines in fact) he was interrupted by a “Person from Porlock“. Coleridge returned to his poem but could not remember the rest of his dream. The poem was never completed.
