FIFA 2012 REVIEW

In the news headlines FIFA is now a byword for corruption and all that’s wrong with international football.

But if you forget all that and concentrate on the game, this franchise is still one of the big two, locked in a perpetual clash of the titans with ­Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer series.

FIFA 08 knocked PES off its perch when Electronic Arts revamped its entire philosophy in response to the Premier League-sized opportunity offered by the new generation of consoles.

Konami was caught napping and each annual iteration widened the gap – until last year, when FIFA 11 faltered and PES found its next gen footing as surely as if Kenny ­Dalgish had been ­appointed at Konami. It’s surely no coincidence, then, that David Rutter – FIFA’s British born lead producer and the figure largely responsible for its rebirth – has started this season’s mind games earlier than ever.

“FIFA 12 represents a revolution rather than ­evolution,” he tells us at the game’s official unveiling.

Rutter points to four game-changing new features: a Player Impact Engine that calculates collisions and injuries on the fly, ­Precision Dribbling to allow players more ­control, Tactical Defending, which emphasises reading the game over ­button-mashing; and Pro ­Player Intelligence that makes virtual players think more like their real-life counterparts.

Time spent with the early build’s Arsenal and ­Chelsea squads suggests an impressive new ­realism. Didier Drogba crashed through Arsenal’s defence like a train, it took textbook timing to get the ball off Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie limped off after a jolting John Terry tackle. ­Brilliantly, Fernando Torres couldn’t hit a virtual cow’s backside with a banjo.

“We wanted to make the game more engaging for fans but more accessible,” says Rutter. And with more improvements still under wraps, FIFA 12 is shaping up to be the most beautiful game yet.

World Tallest Peoples

Robert Wadlow - The Tallest Man ever

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) was a man who, to this day, is the tallest person in medical history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He is often known as the "Alton Giant" because of his Alton, Illinois hometown. Robert Wadlow reached 8 feet 11.1 inches (272 cm) in height and weighed 490 pounds (220 kg) at his death. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood was due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone. He showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death.

Zeng Jinlian - The Tallest Woman ever

Zeng Jinlian (June 26, 1964 – February 13, 1982) was the tallest female ever recorded in medical history, taking Jane Bunford's record. Zeng Jinlian is also the only female counted among the 14 individuals in medical history who reached a verified eight feet or more. At the time of her death at the age of 17 she was 8 feet 1.75 inches (248.3 cm) tall. However, she could not stand up straight due to a severely deformed spine.

Sultan Kosen - The Tallest Man alive

The tallest living man officially measured by Guinness World Records(Guinness Book of Records) is Sultan Kosen from Turkey, with a height of 8 feet 3 inches (251.4 cm) tall. Sultan Kosen was last measured in February 2011 and found to still be growing.

Yao Defen - The Tallest Woman alive

The tallest living woman is Yao Defen, who is 7 feet 8 inches (233.7 cm) tall. Yao Defen weighs 200 kg (440 lbs) and has size 57 (EU) (around 20 US) feet. Her gigantism is due to a tumor in her pituitary gland.







Guinness World Records is the universally recognized authority on record-breaking achievement. First published in 1955, the annual Guinness World Records book is published in more than 100 countries and 25 languages and is one of the highest-selling books under copyright of all time with more than 3 million copies sold annually across the globe. Guinness World Records celebrated its 50th anniversary edition in 2004, a year after the sale of its 100 millionth copy. But does this mean that they always get it right? When Norris and Ross McWhirter were involved with the book the record forThe Tallest Man in the world was an important record with a the first few pages of any edition dedicated to it. Since the late 80's the Tallest Man record seems just one of the many records, with only one or two lines devoted to it. Maybe this will change, now they have found a new tall flagship in Sultan Kosen and they will regard the record of the tallest man in the world as the mother of all records once again.

Lombok Island - Indonesia

Lombok Island - Indonesia

Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara (Nusa Tenggara Barat or NTB) province, Indonesia. It forms part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. It is roughly circular, with a "tail" (Sekotong Peninsula) to the southwest, about 70 km across and a total area of about 4,725 km² (1,825 sq mi). The provincial capital and largest city on the island isMataram. It is somewhat similar in size and density with neighboring Bali and shares some cultural heritage, but is administratively part of NTB along with sparsely populated Sumbawa. It is surrounded by a number of smaller islands locally called Gili.

History

Little is known about the Lombok before the seventeenth century. Before this time it was made up of numerous competing and feuding petty states each of which were presided over by a Sasak 'prince'. This disunity was taken advantage of by the neighbouring Balinese who took control of western Lombok in the early seventeenth century. The Makassarese meanwhile invaded eastern Lombok from their colonies in neighbouring Sumbawa. The Dutch had first visited Lombok in 1674 and the Dutch East India Company concluded its first treaty with the Sasak Princess of Lombok. The Balinese had managed to take over the whole island by 1750, but Balinese infighting resulted in the island being split into four feuding Balinese kingdoms. In 1838, the Mataram kingdom brought its rivals under control.

Relations between the Sasak and Balinese in western Lombok were largely harmonious and intermarriage was common. In the island's east, however, relations were less cordial and the Balinese maintained control from garrisoned forts. While Sasak village government remained in place, the village head became little more than a tax collector for the Balinese. Villagers became a kind of serf and Sasak aristocracy lost much of its power and land holdings.

During World War II a Japanese invasion force comprising elements of the 2nd Southern Expeditionary Fleet invaded and occupied the Lesser Sunda Islands, including the island of Lombok. They sailed from Soerabaja harbour at 09:00 hrs on 8 March 1942 and proceeded towards Lombok Island. On 9 May 1942 at 17:00 hrs the fleet sailed into port of Ampenan on Lombok Island. The Dutch defenders were soon defeated and the island occupied.

During one of the many Sasak peasant rebellions against the Balinese, Sasak chiefs sent envoys to the Dutch in Bali and invited them to rule Lombok. In June 1894, the governor general of the Dutch East Indies, Van der Wijck, signed a treaty with Sasak rebels in eastern Lombok. He sent a large army to Lombok and the Balinese raja capitulated to Dutch demands.(see Dutch intervention in Lombok) The younger princes however overruled the raja and attacked and routed the Dutch. The Dutch counterattacked overrunning Mataram and the raja surrendered. The entire island was annexed to the Netherlands East Indies in 1895. The Dutch ruled over Lombok's 500,000 people with a force of no more than 250 by cultivating the support of the Balinese and Sasak aristocracy. While the period was one of deprivation for the Sasak, they Dutch are remembered as liberators from Balinese hegemony.

Following the cessation of hostilities the Japanese forces occupying Indonesia were withdrawn and Lombok returned temporarily to Dutch control. Following the subsequent Indonesian independence from the Dutch, the Balinese and Sasak aristocracy continued to dominate Lombok. In 1958, the island was incorporated into the province of West Nusa Tenggara with Mataram becoming the provincial capital. Mass killings of communists occurred across the island following the abortive coup attempt in Jakarta and Central Java. During President Suharto's New Order administration, Lombok experienced a degree of stability and development but not to the extent of the boom and wealth in Java and Bali. Crop failures led to famine in 1966 and food shortages in 1973. The national government's transmigrasi program moved a lot of people out of Lombok. The 1980s saw external developers and speculators instigate a nascent tourism boom although local's share of earnings was limited. Indonesia's political and economic crises of the late 1990s hit Lombok hard. In January 2000, riots broke out across Mataram with Christians and ethnic Chinese the main victims, with alleged agents provocateur from outside Lombok. Tourism slumped, but in recent years has seen a renewed growth.
