India against Japan in Asia cup.
**********************************
The TeamIndia is on the way of scoring golden medal in BSNL-Asia Cup. There is no interval in this tournament. Team India scored goal margin in great differences towards his opponents. The question is still in front of us that– In future when we play in World class tournaments are we able to repeat such tremendous, fine hockey game? Are able score such big goal difference?

Incredible phase of India.
Another side we can say that ‘Chak De India’ for our team INDIA to play masterly in match field. We are very sure that team workout very hard to score high. In our team have lots of good features which is very helpful to play match masterly. Facts favouring India are handful. Confidence apart, the team has shown a filament of consistency, and succeeded in amalgamating craft, rhythm and finish. Some of the field goals scored, were heart warming indeed for pattern weaving combined with match finish.

Praises Prabhjot’s performance
Prabhjot star-striker has been outstanding, netting goals with bewitching backhanders. Prabhjot have lots stick work, high goal converting percentage . Tushar Khandekar is another striker displaying style and accuracy. Shivendra Singh, the main striker, suffers in comparison by frittering away chances either by not receiving the ball well, or often getting into awkward positions inside the circle. Rajpal singh is another promising star-striker contributes big goals.

The strength has been the systematisation and proficiency exhibited by the mid-field Gurbaj, Sardara, Bimal, Ignace and Prabodh - has contributed significantly to the showers of goals where picking the best will be an invidious exercise.

The deep defence too, manned Dilip Tirkey, along with the indefatigable Xalco, elicits a bit of praise. However, the blossoming of drag-flicker Raghunath Jha as a first rate flicker in penalty corners is the best thing that has happened.

True, he needs a little more grooming in tougher matches, but the youngster shows perceptible fighting qualities, a passion and a willingness to learn.

Opponent’s power
The Malaysians can smother the speed and accuracy, not to speak of excellent trapping abilities, then there is no reason why they cannot write a new chapter. Malaysia has never been on the podium in the Asia Cup.

The Korean power stems from the strapping drag flicker, Jang Jong Hyun, whose perfection in penalty corners has earned the plaudits of one and all here. Kim Byung Hoon is another sure shot inside the circle.

Our toddlers are smarter than a chimp.

The apes performed the tests in animal sanctuaries in Africa and Indonesia.
Chimpanzees and orangutans are among the great apes. Chimps are considered the closest genetic relatives to people, with orangutans a bit more distantly related.
The researchers found that the children were far more advanced than the chimps and orangutans in understanding nonverbal communications, copying another person’s solution to a problem and understanding the intentions of others.
The researchers believe their findings provide insight into the evolution of human cognition. People’s brains are three times larger than those of the closest primate relatives.
Young human children who had been walking and talking for about one year, but who were still several years away from literacy and formal schooling, performed at basically an equivalent level to chimpanzees on tasks of physical cognition, but far outstripped both chimpanzees and orangutans on tasks of social cognition.
A unique study comparing the abilities of human toddlers to chimpanzees and orangutans found that 2-year-old children have social learning skills superior to the apes. A researcher showed the children and apes how to pop open a plastic tube to get food or a toy contained inside. The children observed and imitated the solution.
Chimpanzees and orangutans, however, tried to smash open the tube or yank out the contents with their teeth.
European scientists gave a battery of cognitive tests lasting three to five hours separately to 105 2-year-old children, 106 chimpanzees and 32 orangutans over two weeks.These multiple tests allows us to pinpoint where are the similarities and where are the differences-researcher Josep Call told reporters.
In another study showed that apes and monkeys do possess skills like figuring out the intentions of others.
The apes were closer to the toddlers in some other tests like those measuring “physical cognitive skills” involving things like quantities and causality, the researchers found.
We may thus think of 2-year-old children’s cognitive development in the physical domain as still basically equivalent to that of the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees some 6 million years ago, but their social cognition as already well down the species-specific path.
