The Shanghai

Old and news ,East and West meet in Shanghai
           Shanghai dazzles visitors with its variety of places new and old , East and West . New Shanghai begins at the airport with a step onto the Maglev , Shanghai's high-speed train . Reaching 431 km/h , it whisks travelers the 32 kilometers from the airport to Pudong in eight minutes . Visitors disembark from the Maglev at Pudong , where Shanghai's modern side awaits right outside the station .
           Twenty years of intense development has given Pudong - and Shanghai - a new skyline . People usually first notice the Oriental Pearl Tower , which has come to symbolize Shanghai .Besides serving as a TV and radio tower , the Oriental Pearl houses museums and a rotating restaurant . South of it stands the 421m tall Jim Mao Tower , which has hosted BASE-jumping events from just above its 88th floor . The Shanghai World Financial Center , the city's tallest building  , towers above both structures at 492 m . The 100th-floor observatory has glass floors , giving visitors a bird's eye view of the city .
          The best view of Pudong's skyline , however , is from across the Huangpu River on a walk along the Bund.
          The west's influence on Shanghai is very apparent on the Bund . European countries and America established concessions here between the early 1840s and 1943 . Visiting the Bund takes one back to that era. 52 buildings , All built in fashionable European styles , line this famous section of East Zongshan First Road .
         The HSBC building , which now houses the Shanghai Pudong Development Bank , dominates the Bund . Inside, visitor's gazes are drawn to colorful mosaics on the dome ceiling . Another remarkable building , the Customs House , stands next door . The clock on top , nicknamed "Big Ch'ing" and similar in design to London's Big Ben , arrives from England in 1843 .
        Just south of the Bund, the traditional buildings and tiny lanes of the old Chinese city take visitors back in time . Here , the Yuyuan Gardens are the main attraction . Built in 1577 by a government official for his parents , the Yuyuan Gardens occupy an area of two hectares . The carefully designed gardens , calm ponds and exquisite buildings provide a respite for visitors . Nearby , Shanghai's Old Street is a great place to bargain for souvenirs .
        While the Bund and old Chinese city interest history buffs , Nanjing Road excites shoppers . Shanghai's premier shopping destination , Nanjing Road boasts 5.5 km of shops , malls , restaurants and excitement . Colorful neon signs light up the street at night when thousands of people flood the area .
       The People's Square , which divides Nanjing East and West Roads , offers great cultural experiences , including the Shanghai Museum . The museum displays 120K pieces of ancient Chinese art including impressive collections of bronzes , ceramics and paintings .
       Shanghai's past and present meet in Xintiandi , one of Shanghai's hottest nightlife destinations . Just nine years ago , Xintiandi was a crowded , old community of shabby , shikumen-style houses . Today , restored shikumen exteriors open into restaurants , shops and art galleries . Photographer Guo Changyao comments, "In the 21st century , if you don't go to Xintiandi , then you haven't seen Shanghai . "
     To truly experience Shanghai , one must explore all its sides . The beauty of the city lies in its old and new , West and East .

Watch your environmental occupation

      Did you know that the average toilet seat is 400 times cleaner than your desk ? Or that there are more than 10 million germs on the average desk ? Your desk isn't the only thing harboring germs .Your phone , keyboard , light switches , buttons on the elevator and door handles - each of these things is loaded with countless microbes . In one study , Dr. Charles Gerba , a microbiologist at the University of Arizona and his researchers found that an infected person can leave a trail of viruses on every surface he touches . The viruses can survive on surfaces for up to three days .
     Here are five of the germiest occupation , in order from most to least germy .
     The First  is teacher - Average amount of bacteria per square inch : 17,800 . Why it's germy : Kid's desktops are probably the dirtiest objects in a classroom . Additionally , when children turn in tests and assignments , they hand in germs too .Teachers had 5 times more germs on their phones and nearly 27 times more germs on the computer keys than other professions studied .
     The Second is accountant - Average amount of bacteria per square inch: 6,030 . Why it's germy : Accountants tend to spend a great deal of time behind their desks . Accountants ' desks and pens ranked No .1 , Averaging 12,600 and 2,350 bacteria per square inch , respectively .
    The Third is banker - Average amount of bacteria per square inch : 5,400 . Why it's germy : Everyone knows how dirty money is . When you think about  the one core duty of bankers handling money- it's no surprise the germs bankers come in contact with .
    The forth is radio DJ - Average amount of bacteria per square inch : 3,323. Why it's germy : Radio DJs often work in shifts , with several people coming in and out of the station a day. As we said before , an infected person can leave a trail of viruses on every surface he touches . So many people using the same equipment is bound to garner a lot of bacterial .
   The Fifth is Doctor - Average amount of bacteria per square inch : 2,620 . Why it's germy :As professionals who serve sick people , it's no surprise doctors are their own source of germs .

Deaflympics Taipei 2009

         On September 2009 , Taipei welcomes athletes from around the world to the 21st Summer Deaflympics . The world's oldest competition for athletes with disabilities , these games showcase the incredibly talented competitors from the world's deaf community .
        Sound holds a very important place in most athletic competitions . Fans cheer , coaches shout directions and referees blow whistles to start , stop and control play .More importantly , major events like the Olympics provide participants with the chances to talk . laugh and cry with people from different cultures and countries . But unlike hearing people , deaf athletes can't rely on sounds to guide their actions and define their experiences , That's why the Deaflympics have taken on such an important role within the deaf community .
      The Deaflympics give deaf athletes a chance to participate in top-notch international athletic competition that might otherwise be closed to them . In order to avoid reliance on sound , the Games have developed unique , visually oriented forms of play . Unlike other sporting events , officials at the deaflympics discard whistles and starter pistols . Instead , play is controlled with flags , and races are started using flashes of light .
     Originally known as the International Silent Games , the Deaflympics have been around since 1924 .When they began , deaf people were broadly viewed as being intellectually inferior and were often treated as social outcasts . Almost from the outset , the Games became a means of comparing the ways in which different countries treated their deaf citizens . In this role , the Deaflympics have promoted human rights for deaf people and shown that hearing has little bearing in intelligence or potential .
     Just as importantly , the Games have been a means of inspiration for the deaf community . While other competitions for athletes with disabilities employ nondisabled officials and organizers , the Deaflympics are organized and run exclusively by deaf people . This practice allows deaf people from all walks of life to be integral parts of the competition as athletes , officials , volunteers and spectators .
   Running from Septermber 5 to 15 , the Taipei Games will feature 20 exciting sports . And with approximately 4,000 athletes representing 81 different countries , this year's Deaflympics are sure to be the focus of a lot of attention .
