Random Thoughts and Images with Light and Love

Life can be so boring sometimes, but others it can be so electrifying. I think it is what each one of us makes out of it, every day, every second of our lives.

Women´s and Men´s Individual Time Trial at London Olympic Games

Get ready for the Individual Time Trials for women and men going on tomorrow. There will be 40 men cyclists and 25 women cyclists racing for the medals.

KRISTIN ARMSTRONG

Elite Men and Women cyclists will compete in the time trial Olympic events tomorrow. Starting at Hampton Court Palace, the men will cover a distance of 44KM while the women will cover 29KM. The women’s Time Trial sessions start at 12.30pm with the men’s trials starting at 2.15pm. Both groups will travel through the Ancient Market Place, past the Tourist Information Centre over Kingston Bridge on route back to the finish line at the end of Hampton Court Road. Unlike the road races that rely on the cyclist’s stamina, the time trials are all about speed. The cyclist who gets to the finish line the quickest will have Olympic victory.

In the Time Trial, athletes start at 90-second intervals and the one to complete the course in the fastest time is the winner.

Rowan Atkinson Wins the Chariots of Fire Funniest Olympic Take in London

Rowan Atkinson, a well known British actor and comedian, not only in England but in the world, did a parody that was hilarious at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

21:50: A cutaway again. Atkinson is now running with runners as a parody of the film Chariots of Fire. He falls behind the pack and races ahead on a car. As he appears to be slipping back into second place he trips his rival to win. He returns from his day dream and his berated by his conductor.

21:47: It gets weirder! Rowan Atkinson is playing the keyboard in a version of Vangelis’s Chariots of Fire. The Mr Bean actor appears to be in character as he texts on his mobile phone and plays the notes with an umbrella as he reaches for his backpack. He also blows his nose and chucks it at a member of the orchestra. Charming.

Cyclist Sir Chris Hoy Will Carry British Flag At Olympics Opening Ceremony

Sir Christopher Andrew Hoy, 36 years old, will indeed carry the British flag tomorrow at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games. Hoy has been a four-time Olympic champion and that is the reason why he won the vote of the British athletes and officials over the weekend.

Hoy will lead out Team GB in the athletes’ parade in front of 80,000 spectators in the stadium and more than a billion TV viewers worldwide.

He tweeted: ‘Delighted to be able to say that I’ll be carrying the flag at the Opening Ceremony! Massive honour!’
Hoy later said to reporters:

“The team is not due to travel until the Saturday, chances are I probably would not have gone so it’s a great opportunity for me in my last Olympics.<<2
It will be something special and especially with it being the home Games it will be quite an experience.
It’s the stuff of dreams and I am still in shock a little bit at receiving such a huge honour.”

“The general feeling is just of sheer excitement and anticipation. It is reaching fever pitch.’
He also warned Wiggins that his life will now change dramatically – that is likely to be even more the case should the 32-year-old become cycling’s next knight of the realm.”
“Any accolades or honours that come his way will be fully deserved,” added Hoy.
“In the cycling world he’s a superstar already, he’s used to a lot of attention wherever he travels. In the UK that is where the real change will happen when he is walking about.”
“I think his life will change drastically, but I think he will handle it very well, I don’t see him changing and he’ll be just the same Bradley we have always known.”

Ovarian Cancer Not Detectable For Years

A recent scientific study indicates that ovarian cancer may not be detectable in the blood using current technology until 10 years after the disease first starts to develop.
The researchers say their work could make future efforts to develop diagnostic blood tests more efficient.

Dr Laura McCallum, Cancer Research UK’s science communications officer, said:

“Detecting cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be successful is one of the most promising ways to reduce deaths from the disease. Biomarkers have the potential to offer a simple, non-invasive way to detect cancer early and scientists, including our own, are working hard to find ones that can do this reliably.
“Mathematical models like this, designed to predict the most effective biomarkers, could help improve the bench to bedside success of such tests in the future.”

Cancerous cells do not die. On the contrary, healthy cells continue replacing the old and dead cells. This makes the cancerous cells multiply amassing to a tumor. It is for the above reasons that the ovarian cancer tumors are very vigorous in body destruction. They mature to hostility without notice and thus silently killing.

Though the cancer appears asymptomatic in early stages, it is detectable in late stages. Most people are diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the 3rd to 5th stage of the disease. This is when almost nothing or too little can be done to cure the patient.

London Olympic Games 2012 Are Finally Here

…and pro-cyclist Sir Chris Hoy will be carrying the British flag in the opening ceremonies!

I am so looking forward to watch all the sports in these coming British event, I just can´t hardly wait. This year is absolutely fantastic for me, just 5 days after the Tour de France 2012 edition ending, the great London Olympic Games 2012 start!

British Cyclist Bradley Wiggins Makes History Winning Tour de France 2012

I am pleased that Bradley Wiggins is the first British cyclist that has won the Tour de France  and happy to see Froome second. Froome performed fantastically and his loyalty to his leader and his team was superb.  Of course, Wiggins wining this tour will give  the GB Team a great boost for the Olympics and this will cheer them all on.
Wiggins you and Froome were just Brilliant.

TECHICAL COMMENTARY:

Wiggins and the team know that Froome is a better climber than Bradly is. But Wiggo is a better at ITT. So this was a gamble. Froome does seem to have an edge with endurance and recovery to Wiggo. Imagine if Froome improved just 1 percent. He would perhaps be as dangerous in a GC as Lance Armstrong. If Froome had not punctured in an earlier stage he would probably only be down about 30 seconds.
