Baby Girl Born With Two Faces and Four Eyes!!

In the rural Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh, 50km north east of New Delhi, a woman gave birth to a baby girl with two faces and four eyes.
Her birth was welcomed with friendly cheers, claps and offerings. Her parents, who have yet to name her have said that she is a “miracle” and “a gift from God.
The 4 day old is being hailed by villagers as the reincarnation of Ganesha – a Hindu God, who is depicted as having an elephant’s head and is patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom.
Doctors do not know whether she will be able to eat normally yet. At the moment she is being hand-fed.
However what I think is incredible is that her difference has been celebrated and she will grow up feeling special rather than a freak of nature.

Man Who Tracked Che For The CIA, Awarded $1 Billion

A judge on Friday awarded more than $1 billion in damages against the Cuban government for the 1959 suicide of the father of a Cuban-American man who was involved in the CIA-backed capture and killing of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Peter Adrien said he wanted to send a signal to Cuba's government with the huge damage award, which likely will prove difficult if not impossible to collect. But the attorney for Gustavo Villoldo, 76, and his younger brother, Alfredo, said his law firm would scour the globe for Cuban assets to satisfy the judgment.

"They finally get justice," said lawyer Jeremy Alters. "We will use every bit of our resources to collect this."The award came in a lawsuit filed by Villoldo, who blamed Guevara, Fidel Castro and others for his father's 1959 suicide in Cuba. The family fled to the U.S. and Villoldo later took part in the CIA's Bay of Pigs invasion and was involved in catching Guevara in Bolivia.

Cuba's current government refused to respond to the lawsuit and offered no defense. It did not immediately reply to a request in Havana for comment.

Villoldo's father took his life by a sleeping pill overdose in February 1959, shortly after Fidel Castro, Guevara and the other communist revolutionaries seized power in Cuba. The elder Villoldo was a prominent Cuban businessman who also held U.S. citizenship and owned a major General Motors distributorship, a 33,000-acre ranch and several other holdings and properties.

The family was targeted soon after Castro took over as "lackeys of the United States and Yankee imperialists," according to the judge's ruling. The father was beaten, deprived of food, interrogated for days and repeatedly told he would be executed as a purported U.S. agent.

Soon after the man's release from jail, Guevara visited the elder Villoldo personally and forced him to choose either death by firing squad himself or the execution of his son, Alters said. He chose to die, then opted for suicide rather than giving Guevara and Castro the satisfaction of killing.

Mumbai buses to have Bluetooth services

Taking cue from cities like New York and London, public transport authorities in Mumbai are planning to equip the city's iconic BEST buses with Bluetooth-enabled services.

Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST), the country's first public bus service provider, said it may soon take up a proposal to install the facility in its 4,027 buses.

"The Bluetooth-enabled services would be of much help to our nearly 50 lakh commuters. The proposal is likely to come within a month and once it is passed the services will be introduced," BEST Chairman Dilip Patel said.

The system will help the commuters in getting information about routes, stoppages and bus schedule in their cellphones.
Patel said initially the system will be introduced in long route buses like that in the air-conditioned Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) and then on the smaller routes.

"With these services, commuters will come to know which routes the bus will cover, the next stop and how much time it will take to reach the final destination," he explained.

Similar services are available in public buses in cities like Bangkok, London, New York and Hong Kong.

Our technical officers visit various countries to learn about new technology and the services. This idea came from such a visit, Patel said.

Nadal loses in fourth round at French Open

Rafael Nadal's unbeaten run at the French Open is over.

The four-time defending champion lost to Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 7-6 (2) on Sunday in the fourth round, ending his record 31-match winning streak at Roland Garros.

Soderling, seeded 23rd at this year's tournament, ran Nadal ragged on center court with his hard serve and booming forehand.

Nadal has dominated the French Open since his first match on the red clay at Roland Garros. In his 31 previous matches, he had lost only seven sets — the last one coming against Roger Federer in the 2007 final.

Defending women's champion Ana Ivanovic also lost on Sunday, while top-seeded Dinara Safina advanced to the quarterfinals with another easy win.

Also on the men's side, No. 3 Andy Murray of Britain and No. 12 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile made the quarterfinals.

Nadal had won three of the last four major titles, missing out only on the U.S. Open. Because he won the Australian Open, he had been the only man with a chance to complete a Grand Slam.

He had also been trying to become the first man to win five straight French Open titles.

Instead, the draw has completely opened up for three-time finalist Roger Federer. The former No. 1 needs only to win the French Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, and his road got clearer Saturday when potential semifinal opponent Novak Djokovic was eliminated.

The eighth-seeded Ivanovic did little right on Court Suzanne Lenglen, converting only two of five break points and making 20 unforced errors in her 6-2, 6-3 loss to Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.
