GIRL SAILOR COMPLETES SOLO TRIP AROUND THE WORLD..!!!
'There were moments where I was like, "What the hell am I doing out here?" Dekker, 16, says

Dutch
sailor Laura Dekker, center left, is hugged by her father Dick Dekker,

after arriving to Simpson Bay, St. Maarten, Saturday.
PHILIPSBURG,
St. Maarten - Laura Dekker set a steady foot aboard a dock in St.
Maarten on Saturday, ending a yearlong voyage aboard a sailboat named
"Guppy" that apparently made her the youngest person ever to sail alone
around the globe, though her trip was interrupted at several points.
Dozens
of people jumped and cheered as Dekker waved, wept and then walked
across the dock accompanied by her mother, father, sister and
grandparents, who had greeted her at sea earlier.
Dekker
arrived in St. Maarten after struggling against high seas and heavy
winds on a final, 41-day leg from Cape Town, South Africa.
"There
were moments where I was like, 'What the hell am I doing out here?,'
but I never wanted to stop," she told reporters. "It's a dream, and I
wanted to do it."
Dekker
claims she is the youngest sailor to complete a round-the-world voyage,
but Guinness World Records and the World Sailing Speed Record Council
did not verify the claim, saying they no longer recognize records for
youngest sailors to discourage dangerous attempts.
Dutch
authorities tried to block Dekker's trip, arguing she was too young to
risk her life, while school officials complained she should be in a
classroom.
Dekker
said she was born to parents living on a boat near the coast of New
Zealand and said she first sailed solo at 6 years old. At 10, she said,
she began dreaming about crossing the globe. She celebrated her 16th
birthday during the trip, eating doughnuts for breakfast after spending
time at port with her father and friends the night before in Darwin,
Australia.
The
teenager covered more than 27,000 nautical miles on a trip with stops
that sound like a skim through a travel magazine: the Canary Islands,
Panama, the Galapagos Islands, Tonga, Fiji, Bora Bora, Australia, South
Africa and now, St. Maarten, from which she set out on Jan. 20, 2011.
"Her
story is just amazing," said one of Dekker's fans, 10-year-old Jody
Bell of Connecticut. "I can't imagine someone her age going out on sea
all by herself."
Bell
was in St. Maarten on a work trip with her mother, Deena Merlen, an
attorney in Manhattan, who wanted to see Dekker complete her journey.
The two wore T-shirts that read: "Guppy rocks my world."
"My daughter and I have been following Laura's story, and we think it's amazing and inspiring," Merlen said.
Unlike
other young sailors who recently crossed the globe, Dekker repeatedly
anchored at ports along the way to sleep, study and repair her 38-foot
(11.5-meter) sailboat.
During
her trip, she went surfing, scuba diving, cliff diving and discovered a
new hobby: playing the flute, which she said in her weblog was easier
to play than a guitar in bad weather.
Dekker
also complained about custom clearings, boat inspections, ripped sails,
heavy squalls, a wet and salty bed, a near-collision with two cargo
ships and the presence of some persistent stowaways: cockroaches.

I THINK THESE THINGS ARE REQUIRED IN OUR AREA TOO..!!
Street plays spread awareness against female foeticide
KANPUR: The district health authorities, with an NGO, organised small plays outside the Ursala Horseman Hospital and in various city slums on Wednesday. The plays were staged as part of 'Beti Bachao Abhiyaan' to spread mass awareness that female foeticide is a heinous crime.
Despite unfavourable, cold weather conditions, hundreds of people
gathered around and watched the street play (nukkad natak) outside the
hospital. The play sent a strong a strong message to the masses that
baby girls should not be killed or abandoned.
Suresh Gupta, an
artiste in the play, said that people should stop sex determination of
foetuses and treat boys and girls as equal. Meanwhile, following the
movement of save the girl child, a special task team of chief medical
officer (CMO) raided nearly 20 ultrasound centres which were privately
operating or working as a part of any hospital or nursing home in the
city.
Though the health officials claimed that no
irregularities were detected at the ultrasound centres, sources hinted
that two of the total five ultrasound centres were found violating the
norms of Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Sex Determination Test
(PC&PNDT) Act.
