kebab.jpgArcelorMittal’s Newcastle Works in South Africa has made it into the Guinness Book of Records with a 2 km-long braaied kebab – the world’s longest!

Employees from the Newcastle Works site made the 2,047.47 metre-long kebab in an attempt to break the previous South African kebab record of 1,554 km. Needless to say, a lot of preparation went into this day.

The kebab had to be cooked as 1 continuous piece. The total of 2,047 metres was divided into 50-metre lengths. 41 groups of 11 ‘kebab assemblers’ threaded the meat, vegetables and peaches on to steel rods. These were then joined and cooked over 15, 000 kg of charcoal, smouldering in specially-dug trenches.

Despite the pouring rain, the enthusiasm of the teams could not be dampened. Rob Molly, Guinness representative and Adjudicator for the Guinness Book of Records, attended the event to confirm the new world record. “I’ve adjudicated a lot of record-breaking attempts and the energy and organisation to achieve this attempt is up with the best of them”, he said.

The record would not have been possible without the help of all the employees, contractors and external organisations that took part. The event was the ideal opportunity to involve the community and make donations towards those less privileged. Close to 50% of the kebab was donated to various charity organisations.

    lol a couple of the comments bloggers write are just silly and unrelated, sometimes i wonder whether they at all read the post before writing or whether they merely look at the subject of the post and write the very first thought that comes to their minds. But it is nice to find a fresh commentary every now and then in contrast to the exact same, traditional blog garbage which I oftentimes notice on the blogs. Cheers

    Примерно четыре года истекло, как сайты каталоги статей начали заменять популярные каталоги сайтов. Пишется все больше ресурсов, которые предоставляют бесплатно сервис публикации статей с обратной ссылкой. Таким образом, воплощается в реальность взаимообмен ; вес сайта оптимизатора меняется на текст статьи. И самое главное, если каталог статей – ресурс типа “стандарт” и выше (по Liex) т.е. качественный, то администратор каталога статей получает сайт с уникальным контентом, что очень приветствуется роботами поисковых систем. Теперь посмотрим архитектуру каталога статей. Структура каталога статей аналогична архитектуре построения обычных каталогов. Каталог содержит разделы по темам, куда автор помещает свою публикацию. Основными преимуществами каталога статей по сравнению с каталогом сайтов приведены ниже:

    - статья это контент, который есть фундамент для любого качественного ресурса;

    - число ссылок на сайт оптимизатора, обычно, больше чем одна;

    - ссылки, которые находятся в контенте публикации абсолютно законны с точки зрения поисковых роботов;

    Главным отличительным признаком качественного каталога публикаций, является уникальность материала ресурса. Если размещаемый в каталоге текст аналогичен либо совпадает с контентом на другом сайте, то каталог будет плохо индексироваться и тогда на каталог, не исключено, наложение различных фильтров поисковыми системами. И как же не попасть под пресс поисковой системы : не забывайте высказывание – качественный каталог должен модерироваться. Короче Хендмейд одним словом.

    If you want to be successful in the duty of copy your own content intended for your personal website, at that time you ought to use the help of the finest software for writers like Kristopher or Hilton and make it easily work. Looking for a freelancer is sometimes by no means the best option, because you understand your goods better than someone else.
    One day the author of this commentary found out, that it is somewhat a hard task to find a reliable writer in the world wide web. Literature is never everybody’s thing, but on the other hand many people propose their non present skills for good cash. Writing with the top instrument for writers is a way better option.
    There are a lot of articles out there, that hold useful knowledge regarding copy and writing copy. Starting your individual page, presents you continuously with the difficulty that you need additional and new content for the same. Work with or just play with pool table rental dallas to create this so much needed content yourself in a short time, with no efford.

    Thanks, Marlon
