E-learning is an excellent form of supplementary education that can give you convenient access to information from all over the world. Natasha Malpani evaluates the benefits of e-learning.

The nature of the Internet and the people using it, has changed. New users view work, learning and entertainment in novel ways. They simultaneously process various forms of information from multiple sources and expect instant reactions and feedback. As a result, ‘learner-centred’ or ‘student-centred’ devices are fast springing up in the field of education. This type of tutoring allows the student to be in control of his/ her own learning. Here, learning is characterised by greater independence for the user, as well as a stronger emphasis on active, revolutionised learning.

Dubai lucky for me, says John Abraham at 'Goal' premiere

Dubai, Actor John Abraham believes Dubai is a lucky place for his films to be launched.

"It is good to be back in Dubai. It is a lucky place for me to have my films launched. I was here last for the premiere of 'Taxi 9211' and it worked," he said at the premiere of UTV Motion Pictures' "Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal" here Wednesday evening.

He was accompanied by Bipasha Basu, who also stars in the film, and director Vivek Agnihotri on the red carpet at the Grand Cineplex here.

He said Dubai was an apt place to have the premiere of "Goal" as the film has a very South Asian look.

"The film is about racism. It is about South Asians. And Dubai is the place where the whole of South Asia - India, Pakistan and Bangladesh - meets," the actor said.

"Goal" revolves around Southall United Football Club, a struggling South Asian team in Britain, facing its deepest crisis yet - bankrupt, with no stars, no coach, no sponsors, no takers, no spectators and most importantly no owner.

The city council sends an eviction notice to the club after its 30-year lease gets over. Now, Southall United must win the Combined Counties Football League for the prize money that will save the club from losing its ground.

Shaan (Arshad Warsi) takes up the challenge to save the club from extinction. Tony Singh (Boman Irani), a disesteemed former player of the club, joins them as the coach in spite of being sniggered and laughed at. He and Shaan then work to gather the worn out team comprising Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi players.

Enter Sunny Bhasin (John Abraham), a brilliant striker who dreams of playing for England but is not selected for an English football club he has trained with throughout the season. The reason: his skin colour.

Sunny himself had always laughed at his own community and Southall United. Sunny and Shaan could not ever see eye to eye. Adding to their personal chaos is Shaan's cousin sister Rumana (Bipasha Basu) who is in love with Sunny.

Tony manages to convince Sunny to play for Southall United. It takes a while before Shaan and the team warms up to Sunny and then the club starts shining in the league.

Bipasha Basu urged the audience to watch the film with an open heart.

"My role in the film is not much. But it is a wonderful film. Watch it with an open heart. Please be kind to us," she said.

Director Vivek Agnihotri said that the film was a product of good teamwork.

"I had some wonderful persons working as a team with me. This is the result of that. I don't have much to say. Whatever I have to say, I have said it in my film" he said.

The evening saw a good gathering of Indian expatriates, as also local Emiratis and other fans of Indian cinema, trying to catch a glimpse of the Bollywood stars.

Both John Abraham and Bipasha Basu willingly obliged autograph-seeking fans even as young girls - and an old man - screamed: "John, I love you!"

John also threw a miniature football at the crowd, while Bipasha presented another to a young fan.

"Lagaan" (2001) saw Aamir Khan playing a cricketing hero. Earlier this year, film buffs across the world saw Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of a hockey coach in "Chak De India". Both films ended up as megahits.

Can John Abraham repeat the feat as a football striker? Well, he has got Dubai on his side.

Diet drugs, benefits outweigh risks

LONDON: Three diet drugs recommended for long-term use result in minimal weight loss and carry some serious side effects, a review of research found.

Though most users of the drugs remained overweight, experts said the drugs could help curb the dangers of obesity by reducing rates of heart disease, diabetes and other health problems.

In a paper published today in the British Medical Journal, researchers in Canada and Brazil analysed existing data on three popular weight-loss drugs: orlistat, or Xenical; sibutramine, known as Meridia in the United States and Reductil in Europe; and rimonabant, or Accomplia.

Scientists found that patients on the drugs - men and women between 45 and 50 years old who weighed about 100 Kg and had a body mass index of about 35 - lost less than 5 kg on average. The study participants used the drugs for periods of between one and four years.

"Drugs are not the magic cure and are not for everybody," said Dr Raj Padwal, an assistant professor at the University of Alberta in Canada, one of the paper's authors. "But in specific patients, they have great benefits."

Padwal and colleagues considered 16 trials that tested orlistat, which involved 10,631 people. Orlistat, which works by preventing fat digestion, helped people lose about 3 kg on average. But it also reduced diabetes and improved their cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Up to 30 per cent of patients had unpleasant digestive and intestinal side effects, such as incontinence.

Mother's smoking harms baby's fertility

LONDON: Pregnant? Well, it's a great time to quit smoking if you want a healthy child, otherwise you might end up harming your baby boy's fertility.

Researchers at the University of Aberdeen in the United Kingdom have carried out a study and found that smoking reduces the sperm count in babies whose mothers are addicted to puffing fags even during pregnancy.

According to the researchers, smoking halves levels of a key testis gene that helps sperm count, and this creates problems in the development of testicle in baby boys who may end up having abnormal penis.

"The gene that plays a key role in normal male development has been linked to maternal smoking and fertility problems," the Daily Mirror reported, quoting lead researcher Prof Paul Fowler as saying.

In fact, Prof Fowler and his colleagues came to the conclusion after analysing the effects of smoking on a group of mothers during their pregnancy and their newborns over a period of time.

"It reinforces the very clear message that women should not smoke during pregnancy," fellow researcher Prof Siladitya Bhattacharya was quoted by the British tabloid as saying.

The UK study came just days after researchers in the United States had warned that moms-to-be who drink alcohol are more likely to cause bad behaviour in their children.

In their study, the American team found that for each additional day of the week that mothers drank alcohol during pregnancy, their children had an increase in conduct and impulsiveness problems than those kids whose mothers did not drink.
