Wastewater from wash-basins need no longer be

wasted.Students at Bodindecha

(Sing Singhaseni) 2 School inthe Wang Thonglang area ofBangkok plan to take the un-wanted water and use it toflush toilet bowls, thus savingresources.

“We’ll run wastewater tubesfrom washbasins on the upperfloors to a wastewater-treat-ment tank. After being treated,it’ll be released into a grease-trap tank before being storedin another tank, from where itwill be used to flush toilets on

the lower floors,” saidKrittaphon Achineethong-kham, 15, one of four studentsfrom the school who initiatedthe system.

Tackling water wastageThe project arose after a

group of students noticed wa-ter emptied from washbasinswas being wasted and that wa-ter used to flush toilets was be-ing used in a wasteful manner.

Krittaphon said he and hisfriends had already finished amodel of their water-reuse sys-tem and that the school waspreparing to install a full-scalesystem in its building.

“With our system, waste-

water from washbasins won’tgo to waste. Apart from in-stalling it in our school build-ing, we plan to distribute it topeople and shopping centres inour community,” he said.

Meanwhile, another project,initiated by students fromChaiyabhumbhakchumphonSchool, is seeing roofs builtfrom used plastic water bot-tles, thus reducing rubbish andpreserving the environment.

Reusing plastic “It takes about 100 years for

plastic to disintegrate, and al-most 1,000 plastic bottles ofdrinking water are used at ourschool each day. So we thoughtabout how we could make useof the huge numbers instead ofthrowing them away,” saidTeerapong Damkengsuntorn,17, one of the project’s creators.

Nuntawan Duangpamorn, 16,another of the creators, saidthey had used more than 1,000used bottles to build a roofover an announcement boardsix months ago, costing theschool only Bt1,000 for screws.

Involving the communityThey are asking pupils to

give them their empty waterbottles so they can build anoth-er roof over a pavilion in thegrounds.

“We’ll promote our idea topeople in the local community,too,” Nuntawan said.

These two examples areamong 40 environmental proj-ects to win awards from theSong Bulsook Foundation aspart of its “Green Generation”campaign on the theme “I CanAct Green” aimed at youngpeople.

Related agencies are tryingto adjust the curriculum forstudents at PathumwanInstitute of Technology andRajamangala University ofTechnology's Uthen Thawaicampus to make them feelthey are all friends and to helpthem develop a mindsetaimed at helping other people.

It was also noted thatnews reports on the issuecould probably influence stu-dents to continue brawling.

However, Abhisit insistedthat he wouldn’t interfere withthe media, but asked them toreport the news candidly toavoid stoking the conflictbetween both academic insti-tutes and to heal divisions insociety.

It’s not every day that you see48 youths from 23 countries

packed together in a paddyfield. But when participants atthe Asem Interfaith CulturalYouth Camp started plantingrice at the Bhumirak Centre inNakhon Nayok, some simplyrefused to stop.

“We’re German, we need tofinish this,” joked MichaelSchaumann. Alongside himwas Vera Keuper, anotherGerman who was quietly look-ing for more space in the pad-dy field to plant rice.

They weren’t the only onesto jump into the muddy field

and enjoy the activity. Thefield turned into a tapestry ofblondes and brunettes, rang-ing from those with fair todark skin. Every one repre-sented different faiths, but allwere united in a single activi-ty which has fed the worldsince the beginning ofmankind.

All the participants latertried milling the rice throughtraditional non-mechanised“machines”, and even went ona vegetable-planting spree.

Michael later explained tothe head of the centre, PanyaPulivekin, that this was a rareopportunity to try rice plant-

ing as this was not done inGermany. The participantswere taken to the BhumirakCentre and shown how HisMajesty the King’s self-suffi-ciency economy philosophy isput into action.

“It was really nice to see howmankind can live side by sidewith nature without harmingit,” said Viktorie Miksatkova, arepresentative from the CzechRepublic. Although the mostlabour intensive part of thecamp, the questionnaire re-

vealed that this was one of theparticipants’ favourite activi-ties of the programme.

The camp – approved at the7th Asia-Europe Meeting inBeijing and hosted by theThailand’s Foreign Ministry incooperation with theEducation Ministry, theCulture Ministry and theOffice of the Higher EducationCommission – brought togeth-er 29 foreign participants from22 countries and 19 Thais inthe February 6-12 programme.

Mexico Citysets kissingrecord Mexico City puckered up to set anew record as nearly 40,000 peo-ple locked lips in the city centrefor the world’s largest group kiss.

Carlos Martinez of GuinnessWorld Records verified the recordof 39,897 people who entered thegated kissing area of the city’sZocalo main square on Valentine’sDay, besting Weston-super-Mare,an English town that set the pre-vious kissing record in 2007.

“We did it! Long live Mexico,”said Mexican singer-actressSusana Zavaleta, who serenadedthe crowd before the kiss with theclassic Mexican ballad, BesameMucho, or Kiss Me a Lot – also thename of the event.

The Valentine’s Day kiss wasmeant to show love at a timewhen a crackdown against drugtraffickers has led to widespreadviolence across the country.

The world’s largest experi-ment using gene therapy

to combat the Aids virus hasyielded “a major advance”,demonstrating that the tech-nique is both beneficial andsafe, scientists said yesterday.

Data from an advancedphase of the test process con-firms that the quest to usetransplanted genes to roll backthe human immunodeficiencyvirus (HIV) is valid, they said.

Doctors led by RonaldMitsuyasu of the University ofCalifornia in Los Angeles re-cruited 74 HIV-infected volun-teers for the experiment,whose results are reported on-

line by the journal NatureMedicine.

Half the group were givenblood stemcells that had beeninfiltrated by a crippled viruscontaining a key gene, whilethe other were given a harm-less lookalike substance.

Effective enzymeThe gene encodes something

called an RNA enzyme, or ri-bozyme for short – a small mol-ecule that, like a spannerthrown into a machine, is in-tended to block HIV fromreplicating once it infects a cell.

Stemcells are progenitorcells, which means that whenthey replicate, future genera-

tions of those cells will carrythe same genetic code.

The goal was to see whetherthese novel stemcells, by be-ing shielded from HIV thanksto the ribozyme, would sur-vive the body’s immune de-fences and whether HIV, de-nied a haven for reproduction,would retreat.

Forty-eight weeks after theso-called OZ1 experiment be-gan, there was no statisticaldifference between those whohad received the gene andthose who were given theplacebo.

But at the 100-week mark,there was encouraging news:in the gene group, the viralcount was significally lower.And the count of CD4 cells –immune cells that are depletedby HIV – was higher.

The use of crop-based biofuels couldspeed up rather than slow down

global warming by fuelling the destruc-tion of rainforests, scientists warned.

Once heralded as the answer to oil,biofuels have become increasingly con-troversial because of their impact onfood prices and the amount of energy ittakes to produce them.

More carbon dioxideThey could also be responsible for

pumping far more carbon dioxide intothe atmosphere than they could possiblysave as a replacement for fossil fuels.

“If we run our cars on biofuels pro-duced in the tropics, chances will begood that we are effectively burningrainforests in our gas tanks,” warnedHolly Gibbs of Stanfords WoodsInstitute for the Environment.

Gibbs studied satellite photos of thetropics from 1980 to 2000 and foundthat half of new cropland came from in-tact rainforests and another 30 per centfrom disturbed forests.

“When trees are cut down to makeroom for new farmland, they are usual-ly burned, sending their stored carbonto the atmosphere as carbon dioxide,”Gibbs said.

For high-yield crops like sugarcane itwould take 40 to 120 years to pay backthis carbon debt.

For lower yield crops like corn orsoybeans it would take 300 to 1,500years, she told reporters.

“Biofuels have caused alarm becauseof how quickly production has beengrowing: global ethanol production in-creased by four times and biodiesel by10 times between 2000 and 2007,”Gibbs said.

Imagine meeting a crocodile with hugetusks like those of a wild boar.

Paleontologist Paul Sereno did meetone, or at least the remains of the ancientcreature. Sereno calls it boar-croc for itslooks, since he hasn’t yet published anarticle on it with a scientific name.

The University of Chicago researcherfound the skull in the Sahara Desert, whichmany thousands of years ago was moistand supported all sorts of animals, croco-diles and even in the distant pastdinosaurs.

Boar-croc doesn’t fit in any knownorder. It has a crocodile-like snout, but

adds horns and three sets of canine teethlike those of a wild pig adapted for eatingmeat, he explained.

So why does a world-renowned pale-ontologist trot out his latest find beforean official publication?

Saturday was family day at the annualmeeting of the American Association forthe Advancement of Science and Serenocouldn’t resist the chance to try and inter-est youngsters in his line of work.>> ON THE WEBhttp://www.aaas.org http://www.projectexploration.org A P

‘The Milk of Sorrow’wins top Berlin awardA P , Berlin

Director Claudia Llosa’s “The Milkof Sorrow”, a movie that address-

es the fears of women abused duringPeru’s turbulent recent history, wonthe Berlin film festival’s top GoldenBear award.

Football teams, golf tourna-ments and concerts have

long been popular picks forbeer-brand sponsorship but it’srare to see a beer making anappearance in a boutique andon a catwalk.

But Singha, Thailand’s oldestbeer brand, has found a newniche to help sell its suds. Thebrewery launched its new cor-porate image in Novemberduring the BangkokInternational Fashion Week2008, making its debut on thecatwalk with its Singha Life la-bel.

The event also saw the brandintroduce its sponsorship ofThai designer label Asava andits support has recently beenextended to cover Sretsis.

Trachoo Kanchanasatitya,Singha’s marketing communi-cation director, says that allproducts – cameras, phonesand even beers – are gearingup to join with fashion brands.

In marketing terms, joining afashion label is great exposureand adds to the brand’s “cool”factor, says Trachoo, even if itdoesn’t guarantee a majorboost in sales for Singha itself.

“Thais drink foreign beers toget a taste of being European,

while foreigners drink Thaibeer to get a sense of being inAsia,” says Trachoo.

Drink it inAnd the fashion industry is

certainly pleased to have thesupport.

Sretsis designer PimdaoSukhahuta says that withoutSingha’s support, her brand

might not be able to participatein the Rosemount AustralianFashion Week, which runs fromApril 27 to May 1 in Sydney.

“They are able to see the tal-ent of Thai designer and leadus to the world,” says Pimdao,who’s designed a T-shirt col-lection for Singha’s “Star &Rainbow” collection, the pro-ceeds from which are donatedto charity.

Singha’s own brand, knownas Singha Life, is selling well,according to Cholawit Suk-udom, marketing manager ofBoonrawd, racking up a seven-digit figure since it waslaunched in October. The teamincludes respected Thai de-signers like Fly Now’sChamnan Pakdeesuk.

Having a child is a life-changing thing. Just ask

Viriya Udomphol, who wasan adviser to a tourism com-mittee and pursuing a PhD inenvironmental engineeringwhen her baby came along.

And baby came first.Viriya wanted to know the

best way to put her little oneon the road to knowledge,and believes she found it inthe Shichida Method.

The concept was devel-oped by Dr Makoto Shichida,who has founded more than450 pre-school academies inJapan at which the “ImageBrain” idea is used to lay thefoundation for future learn-ing.

Viriya introduced theShichida Method to Thailandfour months ago, setting up aschool in the PhoenixBuilding on Sukhumvit Soi 31.

Now chief executive of

Shichida(Thailand), she ex-plains that theright and lefthemispheres ofthe brain have dif-ferent functionsbut are designedto work in tan-dem in solvingproblems.

The left brainis consciousand logical,takes in infor-mation slowlyand worksbest with rep-etition.

The right half is subcon-scious and intuitive, quick toabsorb information and re-quires no repetition.

“From birth to age threethe right brain dominates,”Viriya says. “Flashing infor-mation to a child stimulatesthe right brain. From agesfour to six, the child starts tothe left brain.”

Dr Shichida was a teacherwho “wondered why his stu-dents often forgot whatthey’d learned”, says Viriya.“So he did some research anddiscovered how a photo-graphic memory allowseverything we’ve learned tobe viewed in the mind as if it

were a snapshot. “Children don’t think, they

memorise. When the right-brain function is linked to theleft, they can understand andcalculate faster.”

In the Shichida Method,toddlers are shown flash-cards bearing images, wordsand numbers. If these ses-sions are kept happy, relaxedand brief and the cards areshown quickly, their rate oflearning improves.

“At the school we normallyshow the kids 400 cards fourtimes, and then it becomesthe parents’ job, since parent-child bonding is essential tothis method.”

Don’t waste your time onpompous partners.AQUARIUS January 20-February 18Get busy doing things you enjoy and, before you know it, someone will bestanding by your side. Meeting someone through work or through an oldfriend is likely. Don’t rule out getting to know someone from your past allover again.PISCES February 19-March 20Be careful when it comes to love.

Meet DaveEddie Murphy plays a five-cen-timetre-high alien in charge ofa tiny crew of interstellarexplorers whose “ship” is ahuman (also Eddie Murphy). It’sa clever premise, critic AnnHornaday says, but the storynever quite gets off the ground.“There are moments that makethe most of Murphy’s assets,but not nearly enough ofthem,” she says. For the mostpart, Murphy is unblinkinglypassive as he utters things like“My colon is impacted” withrobotic flatness. –WASHINGTON POST

Today’s Birthday: Making personal changes to yourlifestyle, your appearance and the people you hang out withwill help you achieve your goals. Strength of character andmind will be required to follow your own dreams. Don’t give into emotional blackmail; it’s important for you to stand up forwhat you want this year.

ARIES *** March 21-April 19Don’t let emotional troubles interfere with whatyou need to do. Not everyone will see things yourway but if you are willing to do the work yourself,you will prove how valuable you are.

TAURUS *** April 20-May 20Someone will take advantage of you if youaren’t careful. Do not volunteer for somethingwithout knowing the full extent of what’s beingasked. Don’t be tempted by a love interest.

GEMINI *** May 21-June 20A good idea that someone has will help you outas well. This is a great time to ask for a raise or tomake a change but make sure you have a betterjob to go to before you quit your current position.

CANCER ***** June 21-July 22A positive change is within your reach. Talk tothose in charge and let them know what youwant to do. Don’t take no for an answer and beprepared to use your own money to get ahead.

LEO ** July 23-Aug. 22You’ll be attracted to someone who motivatesyou. Make sure you keep things simple.Complicating your personal life by mixing busi-ness with pleasure will not bring good results.

VIRGO **** Aug. 23-Sept. 22Change is upon you. Someone you least expectwill utilise one of your old ideas for his or her ownbenefit. Don’t let anyone take credit for yourcontributions.

LIBRA **** Sept. 23-Oct. 22You’ve got everything going your way so don’tlet laziness stop you from getting what you de-serve. You have to push forward and take action.Use intelligence and hard work.

SCORPIO *** Oct. 23-Nov. 21Be careful how you handle friends, relatives andyour lover. Poor communication will lead to mis-understandings and false information will leadto a change of plans. Protect your assets.

SAGITTARIUS *** Nov. 22-Dec. 21You may think everything is going well but be-hind closed doors, someone is doing you an in-justice. Be careful how you present any informa-tion you have, especially if it can influence yourposition.

CAPRICORN **** Dec. 22-Jan. 19An emotional attachment to someone may deter you from seeing what this person isactually up to and how it can hurt you in theend. Don’t be fooled by compliments or friendliness.

AQUARIUS ** Jan. 20-Feb. 18Emotional deception may lead to a poor deci-sion regarding a past partner. Keep your distanceand don’t make any moves that you may regret.Your options are greater than you realise.

PISCES ***** Feb. 19-March 20You may know what you want but underlyingfactors may stand in your way. You have to bestraight about your wants and needs if you ex-pect to gain respect.

THE SPORT

AFP, Portsmouth

Mark Hughes has admittedthat Manchester City are

not getting their money’s worthfrom misfiring BrazilianRobinho.

The £32-million striker wassubstituted with 25 minutes leftfollowing another woeful awayperformance in Saturday’s 2-0defeat at Premier League strug-glers Portsmouth.

Robinho has been sensationalin home matches since joiningCity from Real Madrid but hasrepeatedly failed to recapturethat scintillating form on theroad.

Saturday’s loss was City’sseventh away defeat in theleague and Hughes admittedthe frustrating inconsistencywas simply down to the likes ofRobinho and fellow BrazilianElano not performing to theirbest week in, week out. “It wasvery disappointing from ourpoint of view,” Hughes said.“The Premier League is thehardest in the world and youneed an amount of players per-

forming at the top of their abili-ty. If you don’t hit a certain lev-el as a team you get beaten.

“The opposition try and stopthe threat of world class playersand Robinho and Elano strug-gled to stamp their ability onthe game.

“We are not the biggest teamphysically and sometimes weare compromised by that awayfrom home. It is about havingthe mentality and desire to getthe job done.

“We missed the spark of[Shaun] Wright-Phillips but atthe end of the day we hadenough quality on the pitch toget a better result.”

City were facing aPortsmouth side playing theirfirst game since sacking manag-er Tony Adams after just 22games in charge.

The home outfit, under thetemporary control of Paul Hartand former Manchester Unitednumber two Brian Kidd, wereclearly eager to impress anyprospective new boss.

Portsmouth’s bid to bring

Mexico coach Sven GoranEriksson to Fratton Park ap-pears to be floundering andcaretaker Hart is likely to re-main in charge for next week-end’s trip to relegation rivalsStoke.

Former Nottingham Forestmanager Hart is unsure if hewants the job on a permanentbasis. Hart said: “I was broughtin to do the youth developmentand I enjoy that. There was atingle in the stomach today Ihave not felt for four or fiveyears but I am not looking thatfar ahead.

“I have had a well done

phone call from the owner andeverybody knows where I am. Ihave been asked to do a job andhelp the club out and that iswhat I am doing.

“It is possible I will be incharge at Stoke next weekend.We are planning the trainingaround that game and we willsee what happens.

This was a good start.”

Voronin double fires HerthaHertha Berlin’s Ukrainian

striker Andrey Voronin firedhis side to the top of theBundesliga on Saturday withboth goals which sealed a 2-1

win over Bayern Munich.With Hoffenheim suffering

their first defeat at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena when BayerLeverkusen hammered them 4-1 on Friday night, the way hadbeen paved for the winner ofthe Bayern-Hertha clash atBerlin’s Olympic Stadium totake over.

And Hertha took theirchance to go from third to topand now lead Hoffenheim by asingle point with Bayern thirdwith two defeats in their lastthree games.

“I am very, very happy,” saidBerlin coach Lucien Favre afterVoronin, who is on loan fromLiverpool, fired Berlin top.

“We played as a team and the2-1 result was deserved. A vic-tory over Bayern Munich – thatis enough for today.”

Hertha’s utter joy at the finalwhistle, in front of 74,000 fans,was in stark contrast toBayern’s utter misery as theymissed another chance to gotop of the league.

“We are disappointed andvery annoyed,” said Bayerncoach Jurgen Klinsmann.

“We wanted to get threepoints here,” he said.

Robinho fails to fire as ManchesterCity crash to lowly Portsmouth

536Portsmouth goalkeeperDavid James sets a newPremiership appear-ance record, surpassingGary Speed.

AWAY-DAY BLUESHughes out,Scolari in at City?Manchester City are preparing to axe Mark Hughes and install LuizFelipe Scolari as manager, according to the News of the World

Scolari was sacked by Chelsea last Monday with the team lying infourth spot. But despite his short-lived spell at Stamford Bridge, theBrazilian is reportedly eager to remain in England and prove he cancut it in the most popular domestic competition on the planet.

Hughes has been skating on thin ice for quite some time, as theSky Blues have failed to find any sort of consistency despite thesplendid individual efforts of Robinho, Stephen Ireland and severalothers. The club's Arab owners are hoping the World Cup-winningcoach's arrival would help lure Kaka, who nearly signed from AC Milanlast month, to the North West of England. There is no word fromeither City or Scolari himself, however, so these reports cannot yet beconsidered solid or reliable.

AGENCIES, Kuala Lumpur

American Anthony Kangended an eight-year title

drought when he triumphed atthe Malaysian Open with aheroic last-hole birdie yester-day.

The Asian Tour regular heldhis nerve on a nail-biting finalround at Saujana Golf andCountry Club to pick up histhird and biggest career victoryafter a five-under-par 67 gavehim a winning total of 17-under-par 271.

He had bogeyed the 15th holeto slip back into a tie of the leadin the US$2 million event sanc-tioned by the Asian Tour andEuropean Tour but produced amajestic birdie on the par five18th hole to overcome the chal-lenges of India’s JyotiRandhawa, Thailand’s PrayadMarksaeng and EnglishmenDavid Horsey and MilesTunnicliff by a single shot.

“I actually dreamt last nightthat I won the tournament but Ihave those sort of dreams quiteoften!” said Kang.

“It feels great to have beaten astrong field here – it hasn’tquite sunk in yet but it is anamazing feeling.

“I’ve been playing here since1996 or 1997 and to finally winthis event, I’m speechless.Malaysia feels like where Istarted playing my golf and to

win this tournament is great.”

Johnson has a 4-shot leadIn Pebble Beach, California,

Dustin Johnson overpoweredthe par 5s at Poppy Hills for a 5-under 67, giving him a four-shotlead over Mike Weir heading in-to a final round of uncertaintyat the AT&T Pebble BeachNational Pro-Am on Saturday.

Whether the 24-year-oldJohnson is capable of winning

for the second time in his lastnine starts is not the issue. Thequestion is whether he gets toplay.

Spots of sunshine returned tothe Monterey Peninsula for thethird straight day as the celebri-ties and their follies took overPebble Beach, but the forecastis gloomy for the final round –an 80 per cent chance of rain,expected to be heavy at times.
