Sachin Tendulkar,s Double Century

200 Runs/ 147Balls/ 25X4 / 3X6

Agree you have done GREAT BUT BUT BUT BUT

25 x 4s = 100

3 x 6s = 18

IT implies that you have done 118 Runs in 28 Balls.

And 12 x 2s = 24

58 x 1s = 58

IT means you have done all 200 Runs in only 98 balls

So you have wasted 147-98 = 49 balls

Considering only 1 run scored on each of these balls you could have earned 49 valuable RUNS FOR OUR TEAM

MANAGER'S COMMENT: So you only met the expectations and NOT EXCEEDING (though anyone of our team could not do it) and your Grade is C and you will get only 3 rating

Trainings for him: Learn from how to STEAL singles in every ball.

Gay marriage threat to creation, Pope says

January 12, 2010
Roman Catholic head calls on industrialised nations to recognise their responsibility for environmental crisis
Vatican City: Pope Benedict on Monday linked the Church's opposition to gay marriage to concern about the environment, suggesting that laws undermining "the differences between the sexes" were threats to creation.
The pope made his comments in an address to diplomats in his yearly assessment of world events. The main theme of the address was the environment and the protection of creation.
"To carry our reflection further, we must remember that the problem of the environment is complex; one might compare it to a multifaceted prism," he said.
"Creatures differ from one another and can be protected, or endangered, in different ways, as we know from daily experience. One such attack comes from laws or proposals which, in the name of fighting discrimination, strike at the biological basis of the difference between the sexes," he said.
"I am thinking, for example, of certain countries in Europe or North and South America," he said.
This was a clear reference to legislation either enacted or proposed in several part of the world.
Last month, Mexico City became the first capital in Catholic Latin America to allow same-sex marriage.
Federal case
In California, the US state's ban on gay marriage was to go on trial yesterday in a federal case that plaintiffs hope to take all the way to the US Supreme Court and overturn bans throughout the nation.
Gay marriage is legal is several US states and some European countries.
In his speech to diplomats from more than 170 countries, the pope repeated the themes of his message for the Church's World Day of Peace on January 1, which said industrialised nations must recognise their responsibility for the environmental crisis, shed their consumerism and embrace more sober lifestyles.
He told the diplomats that he was concerned about the failure to reach agreement on climate change at the Copenhagen summit last month.
"I share the growing concern caused by economic and political resistance to combating the degradation of the environment," he said, adding that he hoped "it will be possible to reach an agreement for effectively dealing with this question" at follow-up conferences in Bonn and Mexico City this year.
"The issue is all the more important in that the very future of some nations is at stake, particularly some island states," he said

Lawyer: Verdict proves Eisa was victim of conspiracy

Al Ain: Shaikh Eisa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has been acquitted of assaulting an Afghan merchant after the Al Ain Court of First Instance found him not responsible for his actions which were videotaped and put on the internet last year.
The court also cleared Shaikh Eisa of endangering the life of the Afghan merchant, M.S., and of sexually abusing him with a stick.
The jury also granted M.S. Dh10,000 in temporary compensation against libel damages which he claimed he incurred after two American brothers posted the videotape on the internet.
The merchant had sued the American brothers, G.N. and B.N., for libel and claimed Dh100,000 in temporary compensation.
The brothers were sentenced to five years in jail each after the court convicted them of possessing drugs to carry out a criminal act, endangering the life of Shaikh Eisa (they mixed the drug with his drink and served it to him), defamed and insulted Shaikh Eisa by broadcasting what the bill of charges termed as "slanderous videotape".
In absentia
"We are pleased with the judgment… because my client's acquittal shows that he was a victim of a conspiracy," Dr Habib Al Mulla, the lawyer of Shaikh Eisa, told Gulf News.
The court imprisoned a 40-year-old Syrian, identified as Y.K., one year after he was incriminated of assaulting and abusing the merchant.
Meanwhile, F.I., a Palestinian, and N.M., an Indian, who are both at large, were sentenced in absentia to three years in jail each.
The court found them guilty of sexually molesting and abusing the Afghan and assaulting him as well. A Nepali suspect, C.G, who was also accused of the same charges, was acquitted.
In an earlier hearing, a doctor from Abu Dhabi's Forensic Laboratory testified before the Al Ain Court that the medication given to Shaikh Eisa at the time when he allegedly assaulted the merchant may lead to loss of memory and uncontrollable behaviour.
Dr Al Mulla handed over to the jury the reports from Tawam Hospital confirming that the medication given to Shaikh Eisa has severe side effects on the nervous system and may lead to aggressiveness, uncontrolled behaviour and loss of memory.
Dr Al Mulla protested his client's innocence and presented to the jury medical reports confirming that the medicines given to Shaikh Eisa caused him to lose his free will. Shaikh Eisa pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault and endangering the Afghan's life.
Dr Al Mulla defended: "B.N. and G.N. plotted the whole incident. They gave my client nearly 66 medicines, some of which contained drugs and mind-affecting substances, over a long period."

Expert to review effects of Shaikh Eisa's medication December 15, 2009

Al Ain: A forensic expert will be summoned to court to confirm whether Shaikh Eisa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan's medication caused him to lose free will at the time he was videoed allegedly assaulting an Afghan merchant.
The doctor will be present at the Al Ain Criminal Court of First Instance on December 21 to examine the medical reports submitted by Shaikh Eisa's lawyer, Dr Habib Al Mulla.
During Monday's hearing, Dr Al Mulla sought his client's innocence and presented to the jury medical reports confirming that the medicines given to Shaikh Eisa caused him to lose his free will.
As part of his defence, Dr Al Mulla presented medical reports confirming that the chemical reaction caused by the medications led his client to lose control over himself and his memory as well.
The presiding judge adjourned the case until December 21, to have the medical reports reviewed by the forensic doctor.
Shaikh Eisa pleaded not guilty to the charges of assault and endangering the life of the Afghan.
The merchant has lodged a criminal and civil case against Shaikh Eisa's former American partner, B.N., accusing him of defamation by airing the video on the internet without his approval.
The lawsuits are also being heard before the same court.
Compensation
Gulf News has learnt that the Afghan is suing B.N. and his brother, G.N., for Dh100,000 in temporary compensation for the emotional and moral damages he claims to have suffered since the video's broadcast on television and the internet.
Dr Al Mulla defended: "Our client is innocent. B.N. and G.N. allegedly plotted the whole incident. They gave my client nearly 66 medicines, some of which contained drugs and mind-affecting substances, over a long period."
The shaikh's lawyer also presented what he described as "strong evidence" that B.N. requested Shaikh Eisa to pay him millions of dollars to destroy the video which he then broadcast.
The video footage was aired on American television and YouTube.
It showed Shaikh Eisa allegedly participating in what was believed as assaulting and endangering the life of the Afghan, M.S.P. The latter was accused of defrauding the shaikh.
Shaikh Eisa has denied liability on his side.
Media reports said B.N. leaked the video to an American television network earlier this year. Blackmail
Dr Al Mulla contested during the trial that the American brothers planned to drug the shaikh, causing him to commit the alleged beating while video taping it for blackmailing purposes.
Lawyers of other suspects involved in the case also presented their defence.
