Manmohan to Attend G20 Summit in Seoul China¶S Second Lunar Manmohan to attend G20 Summit in Seoul Prime Minister Manmohan Singh leaves New Delhi on November 10 for Seoul to attend the G20 Summit that will review the global economic situation and the status of the world recovery. The two-day meet, beginning November 11, will also take stock of the progress of implementation regarding the past decisions of the international economic forum that has met four times since the global financial crisis in 2008. ³This is indicative of the importance, dynamism and credibility of the G20 as a grouping, which since the Pittsburgh Summit has been designated as the µpremier forum¶ for international economic cooperation. The earlier summits have been held in Washington (November 2008), London (April 2009), Pittsburgh (September 2009) and Toronto (June 2010). China¶s second lunar mission probe successful China November 08 put on show pictures of µSinus Iridum¶, or µBay of Rainbows¶, the spot on the moon¶s surface where it plans to land its third lunar mission in 2013. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao unveiled pictures of the ¶Bay of Rainbows¶, marking the success of China¶s µChang¶e-2¶ lunar probe mission, official media here said. The pictures were taken and sent back by µChang¶e-2¶, China¶s second lunar probe, which was launched on October 1. The lunar probe named after a Chinese mythical moon goddess, is currently orbiting 100 km above the moon taking pictures of its surface with a high resolution camera. ¶Chang¶e-2¶, regarded as a trial run to land ¶Chang¶e-3¶ in 2013, is aimed at testing necessary technologies and continuing to transfer data back to earth for further research before eventually landing on the moon as an experiment for future lunar probes.

Montgomery How Robert Burns Captured America Before America discovered Robert Bums, Robert Bums had discovered America. This self-described ploughman poet knew well the surge of freedom which dominated much of Europe and North America in the waning days of the eight­ eenth century. Bums understood the spirit and the politics of the fledgling United States. He studied the battles of both ideas and infantry. Check your knowledge of American history against Bums's. These few lines from his "Ballad on the American War" trace the Revolution from the Boston Tea Party, through the Colonists' invasion of Canada, the siege of Boston, the stalemated occupation of Philadelphia and New York, the battle of Saratoga, the southern campaign and Clinton's failure to support Cornwallis at Yorktown. Guilford, as in Guilford Court House, was the family name of Prime Minister Lord North.

  • Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission
    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.

  • Under Fire Sri Lanka Take on New Zealand Today Have One Win Each, but Both Tourists Have Won with the Bonus Points Contrary to Sri Lanka’S Win Without the Bonus Point
    Late City Edition Thursday 19th August, 2010 Randiv banned and fined, Dilshan loses match fee Under fire Sri Lanka take on New Zealand today have one win each, but both tourists have won with the bonus points contrary to Sri Lanka’s win without the bonus point. New Zealand are mindful that Sri Lanka have been dis- tracted in the last few days due to the no ball controversy. Their captain Ross Taylor also reminded that after Sri Lanka played two games in a row they will be a bit tired. “The Sri Lankans played two games in a row which has been tough and shows that the team that has played a couple of games in a row usually doesn’t win. I guess they will be a bit tired after the tough series against India. I guess that is an area where we will exploit,” Taylor said. With Randiv banned, Sri Lanka could opt for left-arm spinner Rangana Herath. Ajantha Mendis too could get a game as the New Zealanders have seen very little of him.
