How does it affect India?

So, the question that is in our minds is that, how exactly it affects us and what's all this fuss about? Why is government spending so much money in all the commonwealth games event, and estimated Rs.37.50 billion ($805.81 million)?

The answer is, that apart from being just a matter of reputation for the country, it's matter of opportunity and business. Experts say that 2010 will be a year of business for tourism and sports and many other related industries. That will give India return for all it's investments in a very efficient way .

India has been holding many different games events in past:

* 1951 - 1st Asian Games, New Delhi, India
* 1982 - 9th Asian Games, New Delhi, India

That was the time when India was recognized well and appraised for its efforts.

As far as Indian performance in sports is concerned, we are all very much aware that the conditioning that our children have in schools and homes is anti-sports. There are different sayings in India to discourage a child from getting into sports. Whatever one has accomplished in India, be it a Sachin Tendulkar or a Sania Mirza, it was all in a very raw form and without any professional practice, conditioning and guidance. It's a matter of great debate. This even reflects truly that what we know is only about the Flyovers, metros, roads, hotels and business plans than we talk about the sports and the sports personalities. We hardly know about them.

But on the contrary, the performance in the year 2006 in the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne has been splendid. India ranked fourth in the tally.

Lets see how it exactly turns out to be for India in 2010 but this is clear from the media, businesses and politicians that the main focus is on infrastructure. To rebuild everything as if everything is truly international experience. Eventually, we all know what is going to happen, the rise in prices for property, stuffs of general use (there was no mother dairy till the 1982 Asiad happened, they removed all the cows from houses and this concept was floated).

This site is not trying to get into political or the business side of Commonwealth Games 2010 but it's an attempt to make some discovery in the sports side for Indian citizen. You can always discuss your views and send us your comments on comments@commonwealth2010.in.

Can seaweed help solve the world's plastic crisis?

After you finish your fries, eat the ketchup packet. When you add your pasta to boiling water, toss the bag into the pot, too. If these instructions sound confusing to you, it's only because you haven't yet heard of Notpla, a London-based startup company that is designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging. Founded in 2014, the company closed a £10 million ($13.5 million) Series A financing round last month, led by the VC firm Horizons Ventures, to scale and further develop its product line. Notpla's products are meant to be composted or dissolved after use -- though some are edible, too. Current offerings include sachets for condiments, water and even alcohol; a film wrap for products in your pantry or bathroom, like coffee or toilet paper; and takeaway boxes that replace plastic-based coating with seaweed lining to make them fully biodegradable. The Ooho can replace condiment packets and other single-serve liquids, while the seaweed-lined takea

Asparagus is a good aphrodisiac. A recent study also found that greater sexual activity in older men might protect them against prostate cancer. According to the doctor, the best aphrodisiacs are asparagus, bananas, cabbage, celery, figs, oysters and sea veggies. But it's not just about the mechanics of sex. Healthy sexual function is also about how your brain reacts to the messages it's receiving from your body, he adds. When your brain is working at its peak, brain chemicals are produced and dispersed at the correct levels. A reduced sexual desire can apparently be the first sign there's a problem with one of the four key brain chemicals - dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA and serotonin. The following spices can also boost dopamine levels: basil, black pepper, cayenne, chilli peppers, cumin, fennel, flax seeds, garlic, ginger, mustard seed, rosemary, sesame seeds, tarragon and turmeric.

Spices like basil are known to boost acetylcholine. Spices good for boosting acetylcholine include allspice, basil, cumin, peppermint, sage, thyme and turmeric. Alcohol increases GABA levels, but make sure you stop at one or two glasses a day -- a man might not be able to maintain an erection and a woman could nod off. Good antidepressant spices for serotonin include anise, dill, marjoram, nutmeg, peppermint, saffron, spearmint and turmeric.
