London 2012 Olympics: Rwanda, An Unforgettable Olympic Country

Rwanda ---Welcome to London 2012

Sport is not a name associated with Rwanda, but by July 1996, the then war-torn nation (through the 70s, known as the "Switzerland of Africa" due to its extraordinary landscapes with lakes, rivers, and high mountains) made international headlines when it was represented by four athletes at the Atlanta Centennial Games. It was a memorable moment when Rwanda's national contingent entered the Stadium, while behind them had a tiny country devastated by genocidal wars, killing fields, corruption, rapes, poverty, and killing of gorillas (the country's national symbol). During the 1990-1996 civil conflict, over one million people were slaughtered.

Unlike its twin Burundi (which astonishingly won a gold medal in athletics at Atlanta'96), the Rwandan team did not win medals in Georgia, but they captured the hearts of people all around the globe through sport, becoming international heroes as occurred when the delegation of Bosnia Herzegovina came to Barcelona four years earlier. In fact, the country's sportsmen gave a lesson of courage, determination, and Olympic spirit, after overcoming obstacles and setbacks to go to America. Without a doubt, runner Mathias Ntawulikura was one of them. With his eighth place in the men's 10,000m (track & field), distance runner Ntawulikura had become the country's most successful athlete on the Olympic stage (no other Rwandan athlete had ever reached the finals), followed by Marcianne Mukamurenzi, who placed 38th in the women's marathon in Seoul in 1988.

In the Kingdom of Gorillas!

Traditionally, the country participates with distance runners and freestyle swimmers in the multi-sport event. In the meantime, it has not yet competed in team sports, such as football or basketball, in the Olympic Championships.

The Francophone nation of Rwanda, bordered by Burundi, RD of the Congo, Tanzania and Uganda, made its international debut in the event exactly in 1984 when the national delegation competed in the Games of the 23rd Olympiad in Los Angeles (CA). In the States, the landlocked nation of Rwanda -geographically it is the size of Maryland/Wales--- was represented by one of the smallest athletic contingents of the Third World. It was a time when the African republic, independent since the early 1960s after being an absolutist monarchy for centuries, was ruled by Juvenal Habyarimana, a military warlord who came to power during a coup d'etat in the early 1970s.

Through the 1970s and 1980s, in many ways, the mountainous country ---which has one of the world's most delicious coffees-- was a peaceful place and friendly land ---unlike Uganda, Mozambique and Rhodesia (today Zimbabwe) at the time- despite being one of East Africa's poorest republics.

In other aspects, this land began to be well-known worldwide for the mountain gorillas thanks to Dian Fossey's works and articles, which were published in the prestigious National Geographic magazine. However, who could have imagined that Rwanda would be a war-torn country in the following decades.

Rwanda At the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games

Its second participation occurred in the 1988 Korea Olympiad, a year after attending the 1987 African Games. The Rwandan Olympic Committee sent a six-person team at Seoul, competing in athletics. On South Korean soil, Miss Mukamurenzi became one of the most successful national athletes at the Summer Olympics upon finishing 38th in the Second Women's Olympian Marathon in October 1988. Historically, she was one of the two most respected runners in Africa's Great Lakes region in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Aside from winning the 10,000 in the Regional Championships, she set two Rwandan records at that year. A year ago, she was runner-up to Leah Malot of Kenya in the women's 10,000m in the 1987 Continental Games with a time of 33:58.55 and finished as one of the 27th best marathon runners in the World Tournament in Italy. In the early 1990s, she had her best performance when she was top ten in the Global Cup. Distance runner Mukamurenzi, on the other hand, trained in the altitude of Rwanda, a region ideal for runners and marathoners.

By 1992, four years later, in the Spaniard city of Barcelona, there were representatives in two sports: cycling and track and field, both traditional sports on Rwandan soil. With a total of 10 sportsmen and women, the 1992 national team is the largest delegation in country's Olympic history.

In the quadrennial Olympic Games in Sydney (Australia) in 2000, there were national participants in athletics and swimming. There, the country's sporting idol Ntawulikura made his fourth consecutive participation, leaving an important legacy for Rwanda's Olympic system. In the next Summer Games, the nation's sports officials sent runners and swimmers to Athens (Greece). By 2008, once again Rwanda's athletic team competed in aquatics and track and field and was one of the smallest delegations on Earth in the multi-sport event in China mainland.

By July 2012, the Rwandan Olympic Committee plans to send a small delegation, integrated by four/five athletes, to the United Kingdom. Up to now, Jean Pierre Mvuyekure, a marathoner runner, and Adrien Niyonshuti, a cyclist, have qualified for the 2012 London Games. Rwanda's cycling did not compete in the Games since 1992. Meanwhile, the landlocked nation could also compete in sports such as boxing, judo, and swimming. Currently, Mr. Fred Yannick Sekamana is by far the most outstanding athlete in the Francophone republic. Like most African athletes, this judoka lives and trains in France.

London 2012 Olympics: Paraguay's Warrior-Athlete Benjamin Hockin - A Lesson to Many Athletes!

A True National Hero

He could be a full-time swimmer for the British Olympic team or Spain, but he always wanted to compete under the banner of Paraguay, a tiny South American country known as one of the least-developed nations in the world sporting.

Although Paraguay, one of the first independent republics in the Western Hemisphere, does not boast a 50 pool and despite its troubles with training and sports equipment, Benjamin Hockin, whose father is Briton and mother is Paraguayan, loves competing with this landlocked nation. It is a rare case in the Developing World where a number of athletes, from boxers and footballers to fencers and archers, want to become American/European citizens. By the late 1990s, for example, Africa's Eunice Barber, who stands 1,91m tall, became French sportswoman after competing as an athlete from the war-torn country of Sierra Leone at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Games,where she finished in fifth place in the women's heptathlon.

Warrior- Athletes of Paraguay

Most of Paraguay's wins have been produced by "warrior-athletes", an envy to many Olympic leaders in the region. In the latter half of the 1980s, the country's team, made up of three combative sportsmen --Victor Manuel Pecci, Francis Gonzalez and Hugo Chapacu-- defeated America in the Davis Cup preliminaries, at one time under the anti-Communist dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner. Previously,in the early 1950s, the women's basketball team won the South American Cup by defeating Brazil 20-19, and after that, they finished fifth at the World Tournament in Chile's capital of Santiago. At home, by 1962, this side won their second continental trophy well ahead of Chile (silver medal) and Brazil (third).

Its other international medals were when the men's volleyball side captured the silver medal at the 1958 South American Championship in Porto Alegre (Brazil). In the finals, Paraguay lost to host country (which was referred to as one of the "most outstanding squads" on the Planet between 1959 and 1966). By 1964, this Spanish-speaking republic was second in the women's Volleyball South American Cup. Fifteen years later, the men's team picked up a bronze because of its victory over a Chilean squad.

In the wake of their win in the Pre-Olympic Tournament in 1992, the footballers qualified for the Summer Games. But in those years, the country's tennis emerged with two teenagers, Rossana de los Rios and Larissa Schaever. It was during that time when Rossana won the Junior French Open. Later on, Edgar Baumann was crowned as the second best javelin thrower in the Western Hemisphere at the Pan American Games in Mar del Plata's Jose Maria Minella Stadium. Aside from him, there were other outstanding athletes such as Nery Kennedy and Ramon Jimenez.

Over the next century, Paraguay, spearheaded by Jose Luis Chilavert and then by Roque Santa Cruz, became one of the few countries in the world to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for fourth time in a row and after winning a silver medal in the 2004 Athens Games (behind Argentina). In the last global tournament in Sub-Saharan Africa, the national squad --whose footballers sometimes use the native language Guarani to confuse their rivals-- made international headlines when they won their group with five points, ahead of Slovakia, New Zealand and Italy. But Paraguay not only has produced top athletes as Chilavert, Pecci, Gonzalez, Bauman, and Kennedy, but other idols like swimmer Benjamin Hockin.

Paraguay's Goodwill Ambassador Benjamin Hockin

Benjamin Thomas Hockin Brusquetti was born on September 27, 1986 in Colombia's city of Barranquilla. After living in the Caribbean Colombian, where he learned to swim, he and his family moved to Paraguay, his mother's country. In this sparsely populated nation, Benjamin, known as "Benji", discovered his "big passion" for swimming, competing in local clubs, among them Deportivo Sajonia. Upon taking a holiday in Tenerife (Spain), he made the decision to stay on Spaniard soil, where her parents had been working. There, he began a career as an amateur swimmer in the Club Deportivo Teneteide, while he finished his schooldays. When he turned 19, he left Spain for Britain to study English and to seek new horizons. During his stayed in Wales and England, he called the attention for his records, receiving an invitation to represent Great Britain. At that time, he sent his pre-Olympic results to Paraguay, but his credentials were not accepted by the South American republic.

Upon becoming a British citizen, Benjamin made his international debut at the European Tournament in 2006. The following year, he headed for Australia to take part at the FINA World Championships. Then, Benjamin earned Olympian berths in two events in the National Trials, gaining the right to participate at the 2008 Games. Subsequently,he was one of the members of the British side that reached the finals in the men's 4x100 freestyle relay in the Games of the 29th Olympiad in Beijing's National Aquatics Centre (nicknamed the "Water Cube").

Overcoming Huge Obstacles

Although Great Britain will be host the 2012 Olympic Summer Games, Benjamin, stands 1,96cm in height (6 ft 5 in), does not want to compete for the host country. Instead of Britain,where there are several swimming pools, his dream is to be an Olympian athlete from Paraguay, the only one South American country where there is not a single Olympic-size pool.

Before being excluded for a year from swimming by FINA due to an improper change of citizenship, he amassed eight medals (six silver) in the South American Championships at Medellin, Colombia, becoming the first swimmer from Paraguay to win a medal in the Continental events since March 1976 as Emilio Abre finished third in the men's 400-meter individual medley at Uruguay's city of Maldonado, behind Brazil's Carlos A. Rocha and the Pan American champ Jorge Delgado Panchana of Ecuador.

The year 2011 turned out to be a special year for him. Why? In the recent Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico -the most important pre-Olympic event in the Western Hemisphere-Benjamin had one of his greatest satisfactions when he deservedly was named the flag bearer for the Olympic national team and then, on October 18, 2011, gave his country its first individual Pan American medal by finishing third in the men's 200m freestyle with a new South American record of 1:48:40, at the expense of Mathew Patton and Douglas Robison ( both from America). Two days earlier, he and his compatriots --Renato Prono, Jose Lobo, and his brother Charles-- had missed out on a Pan American bronze medal in the 400-meter freestyle relay.

Despite huge obstacles, he never declined to train with his team-mates, an Olympic spirit which once had the legendary Anthony Nesty, a Trinidadian-born Surinamese swimmer (who defeated Matt Biondi twice in the late 1980s), and Costa Rica's Claudia Poll. On the contrary, he intensified his efforts to improve his records. Unlike swimmers from Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru, he not had coaches and Olympian specialists (as nutritionists), as well as sponsors. Every day, from morning to afternoon, he had trained systematically at Paraguay's only 25-meter pool.

A few months of Olympics at London, Benjamin Hockin has become a role model due to his humble personality, Olympic spirit, and his passion for Paraguay. At a recent interview, Benjamin said, "For me Paraguay is my country...It is another taste (competing under the South American republic). I felt very proud to be Paraguayan.For this my declaration of love to the country".

Thanks to his passion, talent, and discipline, he demonstrates that excellent athletes are excellent athletes anywhere of the world especially as he defeated Americans and Brazilians at Guadalajara 2011. Good luck Benjamin for London 2012! You're already a winner!

2012 Super Volcanoes

With rumors of 2012 and the rotating axis of the world that will cause many major disasters, super volcanoes are undoubtedly one of the scariest and most fascinating.

According to the Discovery Channel there are 7 super volcanoes in the world.

United States

The Yellowstone Park, Wyoming Long Valley Caldera, California Valles Calderas, New Mexico
Indonesia

Lake Toba, North Sumatra
New Zealand

Taupo Volcano, North Island
Japan

Aira Caldera, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu
Russia

The Siberian Traps

Volcanoes for those of you who think they are no big deal, a bunch of lava comes out with some ash and I'm too far away to even be affected by it are WRONG.

Quote Wikipedia, "Although there are only a handful of super volcanoes, super volcanic eruptions typically cover huge areas with lava and volcanic ash and cause a long-lasting change to weather (such as the triggering of a small ice age) sufficient to threaten the extinction of species."

Mount Tambora Indonesia 1815

One of the largest volcanic eruptions in history was in 1815. The Mount Tambora eruption ranked a 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. The effects were felt as far as North America and Europe. 1816, the year after, became known as the year without a summer. Agricultural crops failed and livestock all died. It was one of the worse years of famine in the world's history.

Now Imagine December 2012 7 Super volcanoes going off all at the same time, that rank a 8 or higher on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. You can imagine the consequences.

London 2012 Olympics: America's Edwin Moses, the Greatest Hurdler of All Time

Elected To The National Track & Field Hall of Fame

Despite his retirement from track and field, he is still inspiring American people. His name: Edwin Corley Moses, former hurdler and a longtime campaigner for the rights of athletes. Widely regarded as the greatest hurdler of all time, Moses won 122 consecutive races from 1977 through 1987 (exactly nine years, nine months and nine days!), an incredible record in sporting history. Besides being the "best hurdler of the Planet" for nine years running, he set four worldwide records and captured eight global titles, including two Olympian crowns (Montreal '76 & L.A. '84). He probably would have won more medals if the United States hadn't boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games.

Originally hailing from Dayton (Ohio), where he was born on August 31, 1955, Moses had immersed himself in sports since his childhood, an era when his fellow American Glenn Davis was a world champion in the men's 400m hurdles after his second straight victory at the 1960 Olympiad in Italy's capital city of Rome.

Over the next years, Moses came to Atlanta (Georgia) on a scholarship to Morehouse College, where he studied industrial engineering. There, he also started his athletic career as a runner. Soon afterwards, he, however, gained recognition as a hurdler (400-meter hurdles), inside and outside of the United States.

Edwin Moses (America) vs. John Akii-Bua (Uganda)

At the age of 21, Moses captured a berth at the Montreal Summer Games, following his participation at the 1976 Olympic Track-and-Field Trials. Barely months after, on July 25, 1976, Edwin Moses led America to win its first Olympian title in the men's 400m hurdles since 1964. Surprisingly, Moses had won the gold medal in the Montreal's Olympic Stadium; his first major international success despite having less experience that his rivals.

Certainly, it was special year for him and the States. Moses also set a new world record of 47,64 seconds, while his fellow Olympian Mike Shine came in second with a time of 48,69 seconds, in one of the most memorable scenes in Olympic history. But that was only the beginning of a remarkable career as hurdler on the world sporting map. Evgueni Gavrilenko of the Soviet Union finished third in Canada.

Prior to the 1976 Montreal Games, Moses' main rival for the universal trophy was John Akii-Bua, the Ugandan star since 1972 when he won the 400m hurdles in the Munich Olympiad. In addition to winning the event at the XX Summer Games, Akii-Bua, protégé of Uganda's left-wing tyrant Idi Amin Dada, won a gold medal in the 1973 Afro-Latin American Games in Guadalajara (Mexico) and had been training very hard in the Federal Republic of Germany with the blessing of the Ugandan administration. Nonetheless, the much-anticipated "fight" between Akii-Bua and Moses did not occur: The defending champion declined to compete in Montreal'76 after Idi Amin Dada boycotted the Summer Games.

Edwin Moses vs. Harald Schmid (West Germany)

By 1977, America's Moses was known for his rivalry with Harald Schmid of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). In August of that year, five days before his birthday, Moses lost to Schmid at an international contest on West German soil -- his last defeat until 1987. In the following days, Moses beat Schmid to win the global title in the First IAAF World Cup at Dusseldorf (WG).

Moses won the American Trials in 1980, making him eligible to compete for the United States Olympic team. However, he could not take part in the 1980 Moscow Olympics because of the U.S-led boycott (an anti-Communist strategy spearheaded by then U.S. President James Earl Carter).

A Fervent Campaigner for the Rights of Athletes

Moses has a formidable reputation, not only as an Olympic winner, but also as a sports leader. In the wake of the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, Moses used his fame to support the rights of athletes. His pioneer project "Athletes Trust Fund" was approved by Spain's Juan Antonio Samaranch, chairman of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), allowing the amateur athletes to get financial assistance from the government and private organizations.

In September 1981, Moses was back in sports when he earned his third straight title at the IAAF III World Cup --- after his wins in Dusseldorf 1977 and Montreal 1979--- by defeating Volker Beck of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and Holland's Harry Schulting in the finals on Italian soil.

Due to his extraordinary talent in the global competitions and Olympic leadership, as well as developing a new technique in the men's 400m hurdles, Moses obtained the James E. Sullivan Memorial trophy in 1983, the most prestigious award for America's amateur athletes.

Competing as the world-record holder, Moses claimed his second triumph in the Olympics when he picked up a gold medal at Los Angeles '84. This performance made him an athlete of genuine global stature. In the finals of the 1984 Games, he made a mark of 47,75 seconds by beating Danny Harris (48,13) and Schmid (48,19) - equalling the record of his countryman Glenn Davis, twice Olympian champion in the 400m hurdles (Melbourne 1956 and Rome 1960).

Born to Run

During his 30s, Moses captured the competition in the First Goodwill Games -a kind of Olympiad-- in the Soviet Union -what is now Russia-- earning his seventh major world trophy. Subsequently, in the pre-Olympic year 1987, Harris beat Moses in the Spaniard capital of Madrid, breaking Moses' record streak of 122 consecutive races without a defeat.

With two golds in the IAAF World Championships from 1983 through 1987, Moses went to Korea to defend his title at the quadrennial Summer Olympics in late 1988, but he took home a bronze medal. A couple months later, he retired from track-and-field competition, following a 12-year career as a top athlete.

In addition to earning the Sullivan Award, Moses has received other honors, including the United States Track & Field 's Jesse Owens Award in 1981 and the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year in 1984. By 1994, he was inducted into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame.

Besides being an activist for sportsmen and women, Moses is involved with projects to support many anti-drug policies from 1988 on. As a result of Moses' Olympian leadership, he was appointed President of Laureus World Sports Academy in 2000, a nonprofit organization which "embraces the principle of using sport as a tool for social change around the globe".

Universally famous, from Japan to South Africa, Moses is one of the most popular icons in Ohio - "Buckeye State"--- alongside other personalities such as Neil Armstrong, Thomas Edison, Jesse Owens, Toni Morrison, and Steven Spielberg. Upon his win at Los Angeles 1984, a Daytona street was renamed after Edwin Moses.

Fortunes of the Tiger in Dragon Year 2012-13

Chinese Astrology: Tiger in Dragon Year (2012-13)

Your birth year, the Third Sign of the Chinese Zodiac? Were you 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 (and so-on in 12-year increments) between 14th January 2010 and 3rd February 2011? (last Tiger Year's end) or know of a baby born then? Do partners, friends, relatives or colleagues, children or parents fall into this category? If they do, this article should interest you!

The Tiger

Tiger Years: 1902 Water; 1914 Wood; 1926 Fire; 1938 Earth; 1950 Metal; 1962 Water; 1974 Wood; 1986 Fire; 1998 Earth; 2010 Metal

Famous Tigers Include

Alec Guinness, Michelle Yeoh, Karl Marx, Marilyn Monroe, Roberta Flack, Frederick Forsyth, Jodie Foster, Sir Alec Guinness, Natalie Wood, Dwight Eisenhower, Agatha Christie, Stephen Chow, Demi Moore and Beatrix Potter.

Terrific Tiger in Third Place in the Chinese Zodiac is Still Chasing the Rat! (See Below)

Personality

Tigers can be warm, sympathetic, romantic, sensitive, sentimental, generous, and humorous: they can also be unreasonable and selfish. Tigers can also be very hot-tempered-something they should strive to control.

Tigers are also independent, exceedingly competitive, outgoing, expressive, and incorrigible optimists at times. They can also be unpredictable and When Tigers are 'down' or moody, it can be hard-work trying to cheer them up

Ideal Tiger Careers and Occupations Include:

Self-employment (although they should curb their impulsive tendencies), Advertising, Leadership and management roles, Travel and Tourism, Performing Arts, Literature and Driving Jobs, sometimes Tigers 'juggle' several jobs simultaneously.

Relationships

In relationship terms, Tigers are most compatible with those born under the Signs of the Dog and Horse and least compatible with Oxen and Goats.

Tiger Fortunes in the Dragon Year

Avoid lending-out money or underwriting the financial transactions of others and this could be a good year, financially and overall.

Arguments and disputes arising from romantic entanglements may require Tigers to demonstrate self-control during this year. Overwork (1960 Tigers especially) and domestic accidents are ongoing concerns.

Celebrating Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is celebrated in places with large Chinese populations and particular historical or cultural links to China including: Bhutan, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, the Philippines, Nepal, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and other places containing significant Chinese populations. Moreover, as I heard a distinguished Chinese Official remark, during last year's celebrations 'it's something that China is sharing with the World. It's becoming a world-wide celebration!'.

So, join the crowds, wherever you are, if you can, when Dragon Year finally arrives on 23rd January 2012. London celebrations reach their peak on Saturday and Sunday January 28th/29th. There is a colorful street-parade along The Strand, Charing Cross, Shaftesbury Avenue and through Chinatown and free, first-class performances on Trafalgar Square's huge outdoor stage, including Kung Fu, ethnic dances, music and visiting Chinese artists.Fireworks, craft stalls and street entertainments in Chinatown, accompanied, of course by Lion Dancing, continue into the evening. Many visiting groups 'round off' their visit with a Chinese Meal at one of the areas many local restaurants! See you there!
