It’s only in Venezuela.
They have claimed a world record for the world’s largest pot of soup, a giant cauldron of stew prepared by President Hugo Chavez’s government.

The hulking stainless steel cooking pot, set up outdoors in downtown Caracas, contained about 15,000 litres (3,963 gallons) of “sancocho” stew, Food Minister Rafael Oropeza said. That would dwarf the current record-holder listed on the Guinness World Records Web site, a pot of 5,350 litres (1,413 gallons) of spicy soup prepared in Durango, Mexico, in July.

What a big event for the chef in the world.

This is the model of new China’s high-speed train. With a cruising speed of 300 kilometers per hour (kph) and a top speed of 350 kph, the 1,320 km-rail link will shorten travel time between the two cities from 13 hours to less than 5.

The project has been on the drawing board for a decade and was expected to begin last year and start operations in 2010, but was postponed until now. The Beijing-Shanghai railway was initially estimated to cost 130 billion yuan (US$17.2 billion), but insiders said the growing price of real estate and resettlement costs might increase the project to 170 billion yuan.

Do you think it can be realise?

If you fancy a quiet swim, don’t bother going to this pool in Tokyo. As much of Japan basks in record temperatures, thousands of people took to the Tokyo Wave Pool to try and cool down. It was especially busy for the Obon Festival, a Japanese Buddhist holiday and a popular time for family reunions.

The Segway PT is a two-wheeled, self-balancing transportation device invented by Dean Kamen and unveiled in December 2001. Computers and motors in the base keep the Segway upright at all times. Users lean forward to go forward, back to move backwards, and turn by leaning left and right.

Below is another 2 pictures of a tourists take in the sights of Washington aboard Segways as they participate in a guided tour of the nation’s capital August 3, 2007. Capital Segway Tours, one of three such companies in Washington, charges $65 for a two-and-a-half hour tour on the two-wheeled devices. If only they do the same tour in my country, I will be the first man who register it!

Long jumper Salim Sdiri of France is carried away by paramedics after he was hit by a javelin during the Golden Gala IAAF Golden League at the Olympic stadium in Rome July 13, 2007. [REUTERS]

This is a bad news I have ever heard in this year. French long jumper Salim Sdiri was taken to hospital after being hit by a javelin during the Golden League meeting in Rome on Friday.

The incident occurred midway through the evening when Finnish thrower Tero Pitkamaki slipped at the end of his run-up, hurling the javelin out to the left of the landing area and spearing Sdiri in his right side as he crouched in the long jump warm-up section. A medical crew and ambulance were quickly at the scene, but meeting organisers could not say how serious the injury was. Well, I think he is a lucky long jumper because the injury was not so bad. But I’m not sure either he has a term life insurance or not, but I think he should have one.
