Why New 7 Wonders of the World?

The commonly known Seven Ancient Wonders of the World were all man-made monuments,
chosen by Philon of Byzantium in 200 B.C.
His list of wonders was basically an old-fashioned travel guide for fellow Athenians (citizens of
the city-state of Athens), and the stunning sites were all located around the Mediterranean
sea—this area was the whole world that was known to the Greek civilization at that time.
The monuments he chose, and wanted to give a special place in history, were:

The Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Temple of Artemis
The Statue of Zeus
The Colossus of Rhodes
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus
The Pyramids of Egypt

All were built between 2,500 B.C. and 200 B.C. Today, only the spectacular Pyramids at Giza in
Egypt remain.

Now, just as Pierre de Coubertin revived the Olympic Games in 1896 with his modern version of the competition, New7Wonders founder Bernard Weber is reviving the concept of the 7

Wonders with this huge global campaign: the New 7 Wonders of the World. The key difference
is that, this time around, they will not be chosen by one man, but rather by millions of people all
over the world.

The new wonders will be the people’s choices and they will be monuments from the earliest
time that humans walked upon the earth up through the year 2000.

It is, therefore, possible that the only survivor of the original 7 Wonders of the World, the
Pyramids at Giza, could be chosen for a second time, taking them well into a third millennium of
global fame!

Chennai's hand-lettered newspaper

Wired's Scott Carney's turned in a killer piece on one of the world's last hand-lettered newspapers, The Musalman, a daily liberal Muslim paper published in Chennai, India. Local calligraphers letter the Urdu stories, then the paper is run on an American surplus offset printer salvaged in the 1950s. Don't miss the gallery of photos of the paper and its producers.
The newspaper's content is not exactly hard-hitting. It covers the basics of local politics and the writers translate stories from English papers into Urdu. Still, the paper is widely read and appreciated by Muslims in Tripplicane and Chennai where the paper has a circulation of 20,000.

While the Musalman is a Muslim newspaper, it is a hub of South Asian liberalism, employing both women and non-Muslims. Half the katibs are women and the chief reporter is Hindu. Staff members say that Indira Gandhi, former prime minister of India, once called the business the epitome of what modern India should be.

Carbohydrates Chart

Please use this chart only as a guide, and consult your physician for advice if you have any dietary-related illnesses, such as diabetes or heart disease. If you have medical reasons for needing a carbohydrates chart, I suggest several excellent books at the bottom of the page.

Included fiber, in grams, along with the carbohydrates in this chart because fiber is so important to your health. You'll quickly note that only the most basic information is given - beans, for instance, can be cooked and processed in hundreds of ways. For the interest of space and maximum usefulness, only a few types of beans are included in the carbohydrates chart.
