Yao Ming giant Inflatable Bungee Run is back in his hometown on business. And that's exactly the point for the NBA, which is eyeing all sorts of marketing possibilities in a country of 1.3 billion.
A practice at the Shanghai city gym was called off because of problems getting the team's luggage. A regular practice was scheduled for Wednesday.
"I'm here on business and I want to play well," said Yao, who was selected for Shanghai's youth team at age 14 and later played for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese professional league.
Yao and the Houston Rockets face the Sacramento Kings in an exhibition game Thursday, and Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy intends to limit his 7-foot-6 center to 22-28 minutes because of the grueling months ahead.
But Van Gundy still hopes to showcase Yao during the first game between NBA teams in China, where basketball has taken a higher profile since Yao became an international star.
"I know he wants to play very, very well here and I want to give his fans the opportunity to see him play," Van Gundy said Tuesday. "I want to play him because he's in his hometown. But I don't want to overplay him, given that it's only the second exhibition game and we have a long season ahead of us."
Yao played 17 minutes in the Rockets' preseason game Sunday at home against Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat. He joined Tracy McGrady and the rest of the Rockets in a light workout Tuesday at their hotel health club.

Real-life Fighter Christopher Reeve Dies At 52
Christopherair blown Bouncer Inflatables Reeve, who portrayed a hero in the "Superman" films and embodied one as an advocate for spinal cord research after being paralyzed in an accident, has died. He was 52.
Reeve went into cardiac arrest Saturday at his home in Westchester County, New York, after developing a serious systemic infection during treatment for a pressure wound. He slipped into a coma and died Sunday afternoon at a hospital near his home.
Reeve's wife, Dana, issued a statement thanking "the millions of fans around the world who have supported and loved my husband over the years."
"He put up with a lot," his mother, Barbara Johnson, told the syndicated television show "The Insider." "I'm glad that he is free of all those tubes."
Reeve first gained renown when he was selected from 200 candidates to play the title character in the 1978 movie "Superman," which was followed by three sequels. But he made a bigger impact on the public consciousness after becoming paralyzed in May 1995, following an equestrian accident in Virginia.
The actor went through months of therapy to train himself to breathe without the continuous aid of a respirator. He then became an advocate for the disabled, lobbying Congress, appearing at the Academy Awards and returning to acting and directing. His name was mentioned by Sen. John Kerry during Friday's presidential debate when the talk turned to stem cell research.
Reeve himself was vocal on the subject. In 2001, while President Bush considered a decision on stem cell research -- he eventually allowed federal funding of research using existing stem cell lines -- Reeve spoke to CNN's John King about the impact of delaying study.
"That would be a big mistake because you could spend the next five years doing research on the adult stem cells and find that they are not capable of doing what we know that embryonic cells can do now," he said. "And five years of unnecessary research to try to create something that we already have would cause -- well, a lot of people are going to die while we wait."
Christopher Reeve was born September 25, 1952, in New York City, the son of a novelist and a newspaper reporter. He appeared on the soap opera "Love of Life" while attending college at Cornell University; his senior year, he was also one of two students selected to attend New York's prestigious Juilliard School to study under John Houseman.

Australia PM Gets Down To Work On Fourth Term
Australia's conservative china Bounce House Inflatable Prime Minister John Howard, handed the most powerful mandate in a generation, got down to work on Monday with reform of telecommunications, labour and media laws high on his agenda.

"It was across the board a stronger result than I had dared hope for and I am very grateful and certainly very conscious of the enormous opportunity that it presents to us, but we will be sensible -- we're not going to do anything rash and provocative," Howard told Australian radio on Monday.
"We clearly will have 38 (Senate seats). I'm not certain that our prospects of getting 39 in our own right are all that great. I think that is verging on wishful thinking. If we do have 38 then we will try and talk to the others and see if we can't encourage at least one person to support some of our measures."
The Senate has previously blocked key legislation such as the government's planned privatisation of Australia's dominant phone company, Telstra Corp. Ltd.
Telstra shares started at A$4.83 ($3.57), up from Friday's close of A$4.71, when Australia's stock market opened on Monday.

Where Can You Find the Riches
An Africankid Bounce House Inflatable farmer had heard tales about other farmers who had made millions of dollars by discovering diamond mines. These tales so excited the farmer that he could hardly wait to sell his farm and go prospecting for diamonds himself.
So hesale Bouncer Inflatables sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering the African continent, searching unsuccessfully for the gleaming gems that brought such high prices on the markets of the world.
Finally, broke, worn out, and in a fit of despondency, he threw himself into a river and drowned.

When the farmer said no, that he thought it was just a piece of crystal, the visitor told him he had found one of the largest diamonds ever discovered.
The first farmer had owned, free and clear, acres of diamonds, but had sold them for practically nothing in order to look for them elsewhere.

Central banker seems to rule out rate cut
China’s centralcommercial Mickey Park Combo bank governor, Zhou Xiaochuan, has cautioned that low interest rates, especially deposit rates, would remove pressures that force financial institutions to finance the real economy.
"China needs to maintain a certain gap between deposit and lending rates so that banks can profit from providing financing to the economy," Zhou said on Friday at the Business Week CEO Forum in Beijing.
He said unduly low deposit rates would make banks’ capital too cheap and put them under less pressure to make returns on that capital by lending.
China’sair blown Yard Christmas central bank sets floors on lending rates and ceilings on deposit rates. To help the Chinese economy navigate the financial crisis, the central bank cut the interest rate five times in four months between September and December last year, pulling down the one-year benchmark interest rate for loans by 216 basis points, to 5.31 percent, and the rate for deposits by 189 basis points, to 2.25 percent.
"I don’t know if it will do good or harm to the financial sector if we make the interest rate even lower," Zhou said.
When interest rates are kept too low, banks concentrate on playing with financial derivatives to seek speculative profits, said Guo Tianyong, a professor of China’s banking industry at Central University of Finance and Economics. "And that would create excessive risk-taking in the financial sector.
"I think Governor Zhou’s remarks dismissed the possibility of China further lowering its interest rate. Next time, when China makes changes to its interest rate, I’m sure it will make it higher."
The country will also coordinate its interest rate hike with the world’s other major economies because a differential between China and other countries, especially the US, might attract money inflows if it is allowed to widen.
Zhou, who was recently named one of the 11 most important Chinese policy makers by Business Week, caused a stir among reporters at Friday’s forum.
One reporter fell into a pond and another fell to the ground as they scrambled to quiz him about possible changes in China’s monetary and exchange rate policy.
The US Federal Reserve pledged this month to keep its benchmark interest rate at a record low for an "extended period" to sustain economic growth.
"The mild outlook for inflation in China means that pressure to raise interest rates is currently quite subdued," said Jing Ulrich, chairman of China Equities and Commodities at JPMorgan. "We believe China will be more likely to tighten monetary policy when the export recovery is on a sounder footing and inflationary pressures are more magnified."
Zhou also warned that China should make wise investments to avoid overcapacity, especially in the manufacturing sector. He said it should also avoid unnecessary infrastructure projects.

China to resume fuel surcharges on flights
China’s NationalChristmas Gemmy Airblown Inflatables Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) released a notice Monday evening, saying that the country will resume fuel surcharges on domestic flights to offset higher fuel prices.
This is the first time the NDRC is resuming fuel surcharges after the surcharges were suspended in January this year.
The price for jets fuel has been rais by 320 yuan per ton to 5,190 yuan by the NDRC and will take effect from Wednesday.
The NDRCchina Inflatable Rabbit Jumpers said that the pressure to adjust fuel prices on the country’s transportation sector is big and China will implement a series of measures to ease the effects of higher oil prices in order to stabilize the transportation market. "After the price hike, the fuel surcharges on domestic flights will be resumed," the notice said.
As how much surcharges will be levied, the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) has so far declined to comment on it. But analysts believe the price will be 40 yuan per capita for routes longer than 800 kilometers and 20 yuan per capita for shorter ones.

Toyota to replace 3.8M gas pedals in US
On Tuesday, Toyota airblown Disney Slideannounced a recall of 110,000 Tundra trucks from the 2000-03 model years to address excessive rust on the vehicle’s frame.
The recall involving the accelerators was Toyota’s largest in the U.S. It was prompted by a high-speed crash in August involving a 2009 Lexus ES350 that killed a California Highway Patrol officer and three members of his family near San Diego. The Lexus hit speeds exceeding 120 mph, struck a sport utility vehicle, launched off an embankment, rolled several times and burst into flames.
Investigatorsgiant Giant Water Slidewith the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined that a rubber all-weather floor mat found in the wreckage was slightly longer than the mat that belonged in the vehicle, and could have snared or covered the accelerator pedal.
The government has attributed at least five deaths and two injuries to floor mat-related unintended acceleration in the Toyota vehicles and has received reports of more than 100 incidents in which the accelerator may have become stuck. A Massachusetts-based safety consultant who has investigated the Toyota cases, however, has found more than 2,000 incidents involving 16 deaths and 243 injuries potentially tied to the Toyota gas pedals.
To fix the problem, Transportation officials said dealers will shorten the length of the accelerator pedal on the recalled vehicles and in some cases remove foam from beneath the carpeting near the pedal. They said owners of the ES350, Camry and Avalon would be the first to receive notification because the vehicles are believed to have the highest risk for pedal entrapment.
Toyota plans to install a brake override system on the Camry, Avalon and Lexus ES350, IS350 and IS250 models as an "extra measure of confidence," NHTSA said. The brake override system, commonly called a "smart brake," will ensure the vehicle will stop if both the brake and the accelerator pedals are applied simultaneously.
Dealers will be instructed on how to modify the pedals before the end of the year and will begin shortening the accelerators in 2010. New replacement pedals are expected to be available for some models beginning in April and will be provided even if the vehicles have already received a modified pedal under the recall.
The automaker and government regulators have been discussing a potential fix for several weeks. In late September, Toyota announced the recall and told owners to remove driver’s side floor mats and not replace them until the company had determined a remedy for the problem. The automaker said unhooked floor mats or replacement mats stacked on top of the originals could lead to stuck accelerators.
In early November, Toyota issued a statement saying NHTSA had confirmed "that no defect exists in vehicles in which the driver’s floor mat is compatible with the vehicle and properly secured." But in a rare rebuke, NHTSA accused Toyota of releasing misleading information about the recall, saying removing the mats did not "correct the underlying defect." Toyota said it was not the company’s intention to mislead anyone.
A family member in the runaway Lexus made a frantic 911 call moments before the crash, telling emergency responders that the accelerator was stuck and the driver couldn’t stop the car. The call ended as someone was overheard urging others to hold on and pray, followed by a woman’s scream.
In Japan, Toyota President Akio Toyoda called the fatal crash "extremely regrettable" and offered his "deepest condolences" to the California family.
If a vehicle accelerator pedal becomes stuck and a driver can’t dislodge it, Toyota advises drivers to press on the brake with both feet and then shift the vehicle into neutral, which will disengage the transmission. The automaker says drivers should continue braking until the vehicle comes to a stop.
A driver can also try shutting off the engine or turning the key to the "ACC" position on the ignition. Drivers will not lose control of the steering or the brakes. But once the vehicle is turned off the driver won’t have the benefit of power brakes or power steering. For vehicles that have a start/stop button for the engine, drivers are advised to hold the button for three seconds to turn it off.

Saluting to Those Unsung Heroes
I watched a television series of unsung heroes the other day. They’re fire-fighters, doctors and migrant workers. Definitely their names are unknown but their stories have touched many hearts.
Let me first share with you thecommercial Inflatable Christmas experiences of fire-fighters. As steel warriors born of flames, fire-fighters are brave, stiff and ready to sacrifice. In the video, I witnessed how fire-fighters proceeded with difficulty to put out the fire on some warehouses. Those warehouses were full of barrels containing benzene.
As we all know, benzene belongs to toxic chemicals. To make things worse, there would be explosion at any time due to the pressure caused by the heat and high temperature. Thus, a life-and-death fight between the fire and fire-fighters occurred. They were divided into several brigades and jointly endeavored to fight against the fire for the sake of people as well as their property.airblown Sale Inflatable During the course of the combat, a number of fire-fighters got infected because of the toxic chemicals.
They felt dizzy and vomited. However, the obstacles didn’t make those heroes retreat or give up. Finally, their constant efforts and strong will power helped them put out the fire thoroughly. Their spirit is quite moving and deserves our respect.
Next it comes to doctors. A doctor is one of the professions that everyone is so familiar with, right? Through the series, I’ve learned that there is a woman whose experience differs from others’. In her hospital, she often sees infants rejected by their parents at the door. Those poor infants as she said have got cerebral palsy. Despite the strong opposition of her family and friends, she determined to adopt any infant who is rejected by parents.
In fact, the doctor herself isn’t rich enough. A lot of neighbors think of her to be mad. But there is a firm belief supporting this woman doctor along the way, and that is “All things in their being are good for something.” She shows special preference for those infants and teaches them to talk. With her love and care, those lucky infants are growing up healthily day by day. She hopes that they can contribute for the society in the future. What a wonderful dream.

In the video, I witnessed how fire-fighters proceeded with difficulty to put out the fire on some warehouses. Those warehouses were full of barrels containing benzene.
As we all know, benzene belongs to toxic chemicals. To make things worse, there would be explosion at any time due to the pressure caused by the heat and high temperature. Thus, a life-and-death fight between the fire and fire-fighters occurred. They were divided into several brigades and jointly endeavored to fight against the fire for the sake of people as well as their property.airblown Sale Inflatable During the course of the combat, a number of fire-fighters got infected because of the toxic chemicals.
They felt dizzy and vomited. However, the obstacles didn’t make those heroes retreat or give up. Finally, their constant efforts and strong will power helped them put out the fire thoroughly. Their spirit is quite moving and deserves our respect.
Next it comes to doctors. A doctor is one of the professions that everyone is so familiar with, right? Through the series, I’ve learned that there is a woman whose experience differs from others’. In her hospital, she often sees infants rejected by their parents at the door. Those poor infants as she said have got cerebral palsy. Despite the strong opposition of her family and friends, she determined to adopt any infant who is rejected by parents.
In fact, the doctor herself isn’t rich enough. A lot of neighbors think of her to be mad. But there is a firm belief supporting this woman doctor along the way, and that is “All things in their being are good for something.” She shows special preference for those infants and teaches them to talk. With her love and care, those lucky infants are growing up healthily day by day. She hopes that they can contribute for the society in the future. What a wonderful dream. Hopefully her dream could come true some day.
Saluting to Those Unsung Heroes
I watched a television series of unsung heroes the other day. They’re fire-fighters, doctors and migrant workers. Definitely their names are unknown but their stories have touched many hearts.

Connection
It is snowing outside. I am a little depressed because of the chilly winter. Looking through the window I can see a mother and her daughter making a snowman. I am deeply moved by their laugh and happiness. It reminds me of my mother.
What is my mother doingwholsale Inflatable Advertisingnow? Is she missing her youngest daughter who lives far away from her? At this moment I miss my mum so much that I remember an unforgettable experience happened years ago. Does she still remember it?
She hugged me tightly without blame. From then on, I believe there is a connection between mother and her kids. Forair blown Air Dancer that snowing night I felt I really heard my mother’s call
When I was ten, there was not VCD or DVD in my village, so we kids were overjoyed when there would be a movie showed for the whole village. A movie was more attractive than candies and new clothes. Whenever and wherever it showed, I always made every effort to persuade my mum to let me go with my fellows. So when I knew there would be a wonderful movie at that snowing night, actively but unusually, I cleaned the dinning table. Then I begged my mum to let me go. She could not stop me. I can not remember what that movie was about but I exactly remember my strong will to watch it. She asked me to put on her woolen scarf and gloves.
Wearing like a penguin, I went to watch the movie. After the movie, my neighbor’s girl suggested that we continue to watch TV in her house. As kids, we always loved doing things together, even having meals. So I agreed without hesitate. I took it for granted that my mum knew where l went and I thought she would not worry about me, therefore I didn’t tell her. I will never forget the moment when I saw my mum in our yard calling my name, with tears on her face. She has looked for me from door to door of every friend of mine. She has run in the snow for nearly two hours, looking for her selfish daughter. Smiling, with tears she looked like a kid when she saw me.

You Make my Life Worth Living
Life is strange---Things usually happen when least expected to. Just like any other girl in this world, I have buried a house Inflatable Tentdream, or you may call it a fantasy, deep inside my heart, namely, meeting my Mr. Right. So I chose to embrace the heaven-sent romance and savor the sweetness and bitterness of it when it beaconed to me.
At first, I did hold reservation about the fact that you were a foreign man who had gone through two divorces plus being old enough to be my uncle while others around me had some doubts about my choice. Overwhelmed with the bias and pressure, I wanted to take the easy way out rather than face it with courage. My belief was shaking. But your passion, consideration and unconditional love made me drowned in the ocean of love and unable to tear myself from it. Whenfor sale Inflatable Arch we were together, everything seemed to fall into oblivion. In the end, in stead of running away from it, I succeeded in shaking off the trammels and strengthening my belief---Hold on to it and strive for a better future.
Time glided on, and I have reaped quite a lot of things in this romance---I’ve learn to make compromise; I’ve learn to make allowance for the other; I’ve learned to grow from innocence to maturity. More importantly, I have found my Prince Charming in life.
Our first meeting happened on a street in a golden season, unexpectedly. At that moment, I was selling newspaper when you passed, whose foreign face captured my attention. I teased you, asking ‘Newspaper’? The gentleman just uttered a few words, ‘No, thank you’. From then on, we met a couple of times and exchange a few friendly messages. Till one day, you came over and started a conversation with me and passed me your business card. Here it goes! That’s how our friendship began! We kept in touch by messages until you confessed your feeling for me, which kept growing day by day. On October 22nd, our hearts and souls were tied together.

Real Openness
Kung Fu Panda is a new animated film of DreamWorks, which is set in ancient China and describes how a panda tries buy Inflatable Tunnelto realize his dream. In terms of the contents, it seems that there is nothing negative in the film. Nevertheless, since its arrival in China about two months ago, criticism has never stopped being heard.
To have my own point of view, I also watched Kung Fu Panda, in which, though, what they criticize did not come into my eyes. By contrast, I saw a hardworking animated panda and good comprehension of Chinese tradition and culture in the westerner-made film.
Nowadays, a country could neitheryard Inflatable Games exist nor develop without relating to other ones. In 1978, China carried out the reform and opening-up policy, since which we have been trying to amplify the connection with the world. Besides technology, economy and the like, culture, custom and history are as well what we share to enhance the understanding between the world and ourselves. As a result, appearances of Chinese elements out of China are ordinary or maybe just what we expect.
There are two kinds of censures in general. To begin with, some critics argue the western filmmakers turn a cuddly, simple panda into a greedy, sly one, which distorts the image of China’s national treasure. Then, they judge many Chinese traditional and cultural things are harmed in the film, for example, martial arts’ being westernized.

Hour in the sun
I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.
Henry David Thoreau adult Inflatable Toys
When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden Pond he knew as a boy.
Time swallows many things: the gym is replaced by factories, and in the dump sleep quietly all parts of the basketball shelves. What matters most is that there will never be the crazy boys fooling around and teasing with basketball. Time flies--now we’re walking in a brand new lifes journey, separating from each other for our own puzzling future. It keeps reminding me of an saying in American TV series One Tree Hill—people always leave. I should admit that nothing can really accompany you forever in real life. In the end, they have to go no matter how you feel. Just as Emerson said, heartily known, when half gods go, the gods arrive.
Walking along the memory lane, I cannot help thinking of the basketball gym where I used to have great fun with my lovely friends. We went there when dawn broke, and then we played basketballcheap Inflatable Obstacle in the hot sun, always killing the whole morning. Crazy, isn’t it? At that time,basketball,undoubtedly, became a friend of ours, or even a part of my life. Something deserves to belong to one sometime in life. Because of basketball, stupid but crazy guys like us, got together and became best friends than we could ever be in this life.
Anyway, I will cherish those precious moments at the bottom of my heart. When alone or in a peaceful mind, they will always touch my heart and remind me of the unforgettable scenes. They all are walking on their own life: friendship flourishes in the beautiful memories. I will be very glad to claim that basketball still keeps me company all the time. And I believe he will always be with me and become a lifelong friend seeing me through difficulties and setbacks and witnessing my glorious moments. Playing basketball makes me feel good and learn how to appreciate my life--although I am not with my family all the year. I can treat it as home away from home.

The Root of Chinese Translation Company
Summary: Chinese translation company derived from the ancient royal translation garden in Tang Dynasty. After more than one-thousand-year development, what are the most characteristic feature of giant Inflatable Castlethem and what is their future?
Chinese Translation company has a long history which can be traced back to Tang Dynasty, when translation business was flourishing, as Chinese emperors adhered to Buddhism transferred from India. In the mythological novel Journey to the West, in which is recounted the amazing adventures of the eminent monk Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty, we can find out some vestiges of Chinese translation company.
The three disciples of monk Xuan Zang converted to Buddhism, when they wanted to devote their whole lives to the journey, which indicat the translation career. Xuan Zang, who represents a freelances in translation circle, needs a company which takes charge of marketing and logistics guarantee. Therefore, the four Buddhists formed into a company, which was the origin of Chinese translation company.
If we take the ancient Chinese translation company as a group of intellectuals who cherish the same ideals with burning passion, the emergence of Chinese modern one mingles with more commercialoutdoor Inflatable Slide elements. It are better to consider them as interest groups instead of service agencies. As Chinese translation company has more available translation experience of translating the native language into other languages as an advantage over the western counterparts. So, it’s a conventional stereotype that Chinese translation companies assume the responsibility for promoting Chinese language and culture abroad. As the government failed to establish a non-interest organization which accords the priority to the quality instead of the translation velocity, some commercial organizations appeared.

Free Translation on the Internet
Summery: The prevalence of online free translation cannot be ignored nowadays. What is the consequence of this airblown giant outdoor adult cheap yard house buy for-sale wholsale air-blown commercial kid sale custom manufacturer chinaphenomenon, and why Chinese people take a keen interest in offering it.
As a translator with 8-year experience, I resort to the Net whenever I meet with an obstacle in translation. It’s not only because it’s an instant way to find out a suggestion, but also because of its high efficiency.
Obviously, the Net is becoming a universal medium, which provides an immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of free translation resource, which includes a rich bank of glossary. The perfect recall of silicon memory can be an enormous boon to thinking and translating, but the boon comes at a price. The media theorist Marshall McLuhan (1960s) pointed out media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the online free translation resource seems to be doing is chipping away at my capacity for concentration and contemplation. The increasing reliance on the online free translation make my minds get used to the way the Net distributes information: in a swiftly moving stream of particles.
The Internet has altered my mental habits when I work on a translation project. My concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lost the thread, and begin looking for something else to do. The contemplation that used to come naturally has become a struggle. My thinking has taken on a “staccato” quality, reflecting the way I quickly scans short passages of bilingual text from many free translation sources online.
I worried that a style of reading promoted by the Net, a style that puts “efficiency” and “immediacy” above all else, may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading and translation. In this airblown Inflatable Bouncemoney-worshipping world, academic excellence seems to have been relegated to a role of secondary importance. The translators, a kinds of intellectual, tend to become “mere decoders of information”, instead of weigh our words when we translate. And the hustling and bustling of routine life makes deep-reading and intensive study become a kind of luxury.

A Friend
Recently, one of my best friends, whom I've shared just about[几乎] everything with since the first day of kindergarten[幼儿园], spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we've bothto buy Inflatable Bounce always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late[迟迟不睡] into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with[交往]. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented[尝试] with drugs[毒品,此处为大麻] and was into other self-destructive[自毁] behavior[行为]. I was blown away[震惊]! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even sneaking out[偷跑] to see this guy becausebusiness Inflatable Castle they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere[毫无进展]. I just couldn't believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted[疲惫] by the experience. It had been so frustrating[灰心的], I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship - but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the ultimate[最后的] test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer[克服] anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding[值得的] moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.(by Danielle Fishel)

Angel of Hope
Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that has scarred her for life. Whilebusiness inflatable her mother's back was turned for a moment, the inquisitive[好奇的] toddler[初学走路的孩童] reached up to grab the flex[电线] of a hot kettle[壶] in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame[稚嫩的肢体].
Her mother Ruby spun round[转过头来] and, seeing Ammie horribly scalded[烫伤], called an ambulance[救护车] which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty per cent of Ammie's body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. The doctors could tell immediately that Ammie's best chance of survival was a specialised burns unit some miles away at Glasgow Royal[皇家] Infirmary[医院]. There, using tissue taken from unburned areas of Ammie's body, surgeons[外科医生] performed complex skin grafts[移植] to close her wounds and control her cheap Inflatable Productsinjuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent[经受(苦难)] 12 more operations to repair her body.
When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age four, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn't play with her. "I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school," she recalls. "Some children refused to become friends because of that."
Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent[持久的] part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts[移植]. Yet she is a confident, outgoing[开朗的] teenager who offers inspiration[鼓舞] and hope to other young burns victims[受害者].
Ammie's parents Ruby, a funeral director[葬礼承办人], and Gibby, a policeman, have been a tremendous[极大的] support. "They told me if people had a problem with my burns, the problem was theirs not mine," says Ammie. "They taught me to cope[应付] with other people's reactions and constantly reminded me I was valued and loved." Ammie's positive philosophy[积极人生观] means she is now in demand with burns organisations, helping younger patients build their self-esteem[自尊] to live with permanent[持久的] scars[伤痕].

Today, age 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent[持久的] part of her body. She still has to have two further skin grafts[移植]. Yet she is a confident, outgoing[开朗的] teenager who offers inspiration[鼓舞] and hope to other young burns victims[受害者].
Ammie's parents Ruby, a funeral director[葬礼承办人], and Gibby, a policeman, have been a tremendous[极大的] support. "They told me if people had a problem with my burns, the problem was theirs not mine," says Ammie. "They taught me to cope[应付] with other people's reactions and constantly reminded me I was valued and loved." Ammie's positive philosophy[积极人生观] means she is now in demand with burns organisations, helping younger patients build their self-esteem[自尊] to live with permanent[持久的] scars[伤痕].
One Hour Of Time
A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated[烦躁的], to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the person Inflatable Tentdoor. "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed[弯下脑袋].
Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"
The father was furious[生气的]. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a littlecompany Inflatable Arch hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep son?" he asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, may be I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation[恼怒] out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, beaming[愉快的]. "Oh, thank you daddy" he yelled.
Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up[摺皱的] bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. "Why did you want more money if you already had some? " the father grumbled[抱怨].
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"
Share $20.00 worth of time with someone you love...just a short reminder to all of us working so hard for our living. However, let us not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some quality time with those who really matter to us.
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.

Suppose someone gave you a pen
Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen.
You couldn't see how muchwholesale Inflatable Gamesink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece[名著、杰作] (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don't know before you begin. Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance[碰运气]!
Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up[干枯], unused. But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game? Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive [广阔、宏大]that you never even got to the writing? Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge[把…投入] right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists[旋涡] and turns of the torrents[急流] of words that take you where they take you? Would you write cautiously[谨慎的] and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?
And of what would yougiant Inflatable Tunnel write: Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? Life? Death? Nothing? Everything? Would you write to please just yourself? Or others? Or yourself by writing for others?
Would your strokes be tremblingly[颤抖地] timid or brilliantly bold[果敢]? Fancy[想象力] with a flourish[丰富] or plain? Would you even write? Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write. Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle[乱画] or draw? Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? Or are they?

Beautiful Smile and Love
The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was sales Inflatable Slidein a most terrible condition，and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse.
So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “thank you” and she died. I could not help but examine my conscience[良心]before her and I asked what would I say if I wasfor sale Inflatable Toys in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face.
As did that man whom we picked up from the drain[阴沟、下水道], half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing cheap Inflatable Obstacleanything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.

Dad
The first memory I have of him — of anything, really — is his strength. It was in the late afternoon in a house undercompany Inflatable Arch construction near ours. The unfinished wood floor had large, terrifying holes whose yawning[张大嘴] darkness I knew led to nowhere good. His powerful hands, then age 33, wrapped all the way around my tiny arms, then age 4, and easily swung[摇摆] me up to his shoulders to command all I surveyed.
The relationship between a son and his father changes over time. It may grow and flourish[繁茂] in mutual maturity[成熟]. It may sour in resented dependence or independence. With many children living in single-parent homes today, it may not even exist.
But to a little boy right afterbusiness Inflatable Bounce World War II ,a father seemed a god with strange strengths and uncanny[离奇的] powers enabling him to do and know things that no mortal could do or know. Amazing things, like putting a bicycle chain back on, just like that. Or building a hamster[仓鼠] cage.Or guiding a jigsaw[拼板玩具] so it forms the letter F;I learned the alphabet[字母表] that way in those pre-television days.
There were, of course, rules to learn. First came the handshake. None of those fishy[冷冰冰的] little finger grips, but a good firm squeeze accompanied by an equally strong gaze into the other's eyes. “ The first thing anyone knows about you is your handshake,” he would say. And we'd practice it each night on his return from work, the serious toddler in the battered[用旧了的] Cleveland Indian's cap running up to the giant father to shake hands again and again until it was firm enough.

A Glass of Milk
One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only hadgiant Inflatable Tunnel one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not person Inflatable Tentonly felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room.
Dressed in his doctor’s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.

Hillary: Women's rights are human rights Six
We have also been reminded, in V-J Day observances last weekend, of the good that comes when men and women join together to combat the forces of tyranny and build a better world.
We have seen peace prevail in most places for a half century. We have avoided another world war.
But we have not solvedperson inflatableolder, deeply-rooted problems that continue to diminish the potential of half the world's population.
Now it is time to act on behalf of women everywhere.
If we take bold steps to better the lives of women, we will be taking bold steps to better the lives of children and families too.
Families rely on mothers and wives for emotional support and care; families rely on women for labor in the home; and increasingly, families rely on women for income needed to raise healthy children and care for other relatives.
As long as discrimination and inequities remain so commonplace around the world -- as long as girls and women are valued less, red less, fed last, overworked, underpaid, not schooled and subjected to violence in and out of their homes -- the potential of the human family to create a peaceful, prosperous world will not be realized.
Let this Conference be our -- and the world's -- call to action.
And let us heed the call so that we can create a world in which every woman is treated with respect and dignity, every boy and girl is loved and cared for equally, and every family has the hope of a strong and stable future.
Thank you very much.
May God bless you, your work and all who will benefit from it

Hillary: Women's rights are human rights Five
It is a violation of human rights when individual women are raped in their own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape as a tactic or prize of war.
It is a violation of humanwholesale Inflatable Toysrights when a leading cause of death worldwide along women ages 14 to 44 is the violence they are subjected to in their own homes.
It is a violation of human rights when women are denied the right to plan their own families, and that includes being forced to have abortions or being sterilized against their will.
If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, it is that human rights are women's rights -- and women's rights are human rights. Let us not forget that among those rights are the right to speak freely -- and the right to be heard.
Women must enjoy the right to participate fully in the social and political lives of their countries if we want freedom and democracy to thrive and endure.
It is indefensible that many women in nongovernmental organizations who wished to participate in this conference have not been able to attend -- or have been prohibited from fully taking part.
Let me be clear. Freedom means the right of people to assemble, organize and debate openly. It means respecting the views of those who may disagree with the views of their governments. It means not taking citizens away from their loved ones and jailing they, mistreating them, or denying them their freedom or dignity because of the peaceful expression of their ideas and opinions.
In my country, we recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of women's suffrage. It took 150 years after the signing of our Declaration of Independence for women to win the right to vote.
It took 72 years of organized struggle on the part of many courageous women and men. It was one of America's most divisive philosophical wars. But it was also a bloodless war. Suffrage was achieved without a shot being fired.

Hillary: Women's rights are human rights Four
The international community has long acknowledged -- and recently affirmed at Vienna -- that both women and men are entitled to a range of protections and personal freedoms, from the right of personal security to the right to determine freely the number and spacing of the children they bear.
No one should be forced to remain silent for fear of religious or political persecution, arrest, abuse or torture.
Tragically, women are most often the ones whose human rights are violated.
Even in the late 20th century, the rape of women continues to be used as an instrument of armed conflict. Women and children make up a large majority of the world's refugees. When women are excluded from the political process, they become even more vulnerable to abuse.
I believe that, on the eve of a newbusiness Inflatable Slidemillennium, it is time to break our silence. It is time for us to say here in Bejing, and the world to hear, that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women's rights as separate from human rights.
These abuses have continued because, for too long, the history of women has been a history of silence. Even today, there are those who are trying to silence our words.
The voices of this conference and of the women at Huairou must be heard loud and clear:
It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls.
It is a violation of human rights when woman and girls are sold into the slavery of prostitution.
It is a violation of human rights when women are doused with gasoline, set on fire and burned to death because their marriage dowries are deemed too small.
It is a violation of human rights when individual women are raped in their own communities and when thousands of women are subjected to rape as a tactic or prize of war.

Hillary: Women's rights are human rights Three
As an American, I want to speak up for those women in my own country梬omen who are raising children on the minimum wage, women who can抰 afford health care or child care, women whose lives are threatened by violence, including violence in their own homes.
I want to speak up for mothers giant Inflatable Castlewho are fighting for good schools, safe neighborhoods, clean air, and clean airwaves; for older women, some of them widows, who have raised their families and now find their skills and life experiences are not valued in the workplace; for women who are working all night as nurses, hotel clerks, and fast food cooks so that they can be at home during the day with their kids; and for women everywhere who simply don抰 have time to do everything they are called upon to do each day.
Speaking to you today, I speak for them, just as each of us speaks for women around the world who are denied the chance to go to school, or see a doctor, or own property, or have a say about the direction of their lives, simply because they are women. The truth is that most women around the world work both inside and outside the home, usually by necessity.
We need to understand that there is no formula for how women should lead their lives.
That is why we must respect the choices that each woman makes for herself and her family. Every woman deserves the chance to realize her own God-given potential.
We also must recognize that women will never gain full dignity until their human rights are respected and protected.
Our goals for this Conference, to strengthen families and societies by empowering women to take greater control over their destinies, cannot be fully achieved unless all governments -- here and around the world -- accept their responsibility to protect and promote internationally recognized human rights.

Hillary: Women's rights are human rights two
That is why every woman, every man, every child, every family, and every nation on our planet has a stake in the discussion that takes place here.
Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two-and-a half years, I have had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my own country and around the world.
I have met new mothers in Jojakarta adult Inflatable Bounceand Indonesia, who come together regularly in their village to discuss nutrition, family planning, and baby care.
I have met working parents in Denmark who talk about the comfort they feel in knowing that their children can be cared for in creative, safe, and nurturing after-school centers.
I have met women in South Africa who helped lead the struggle to end apartheid and are now helping build a new democracy.
I have met with the leading women of the Western Hemisphere who are working every day to promote literacy and better health care for the children of their countries.
I have met women in India and Bangladesh who are taking out small loans to buy milk cows, rickshaws, thread and other materials to create a livelihood for themselves and their families.
I have met doctors and nurses in Belarus and Ukraine who are trying to keep children alive in the aftermath of Chernobyl.
The great challenge of this Conference is to give voice to women everywhere whose experiences go unnoticed, whose words go unheard.
Women comprise more than half the word's population. Women are 70% of the world's poor, and two-thirds of those are not taught to read and write.
Women are the primary caretakers for most of the world's children and elderly. Yet much of the work we do is not valued -- not by economists, not by historians, not by popular culture, not by government leaders.
At this very moment, as we sit here, women around the world are giving birth, raising children, cooking meals, washing clothes, cleaning houses, planting crops, working on assembly lines, running companies, and running countries.
Women also are dying from diseases that should have been prevented or treated. They are watching their children succumb to malnutrition caused by poverty and economic deprivation. They are being denied the right to go to school by their own fathers and brothers. They are being forced into prostitution, and they are being barred from the band lending office and banned from the ballot box.
Those of us who have the opportunity to be here have the responsibility to speak for those who could not.

Hillary: Women's rights are human rights One
Mrs. Mongella, Under Secretary Kittani, distinguished delegates and guests:
I would like to thank the Secretary General of the United Nations for inviting me to be a part of the United Nations Fourth World Conference of Women. This is truly a celebration -- a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders.
It is also a coming together, much of the way women come together ever day in every country.
We come together in fields and in factories. We come together in village markets and supermarkets. We come together in living rooms and board rooms.
Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concern. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families. However different we may be, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We share a common future, and are here to find common ground so that we may help bring new dignity and respect to women and girls all over the world. By doing this, we bring new strength and stability to families as well.
By gathering in Beijing, we are focusing world attention on issues that matter most in the lives of women and their families: access to education, health care, jobs and credit, the chance to enjoy basic legal and human rights and participate fully in the political life of their countries.
There are some who question the reason for this conference.
Let them listen to the voices child Inflatable Products of women in their homes, neighborhoods, and workplaces.
There are some who wonder whether the lives of women and girls matter to economic and political progress around the globe.
Let them look at the women gathered here and at Huairou -- the homemakers, nurses, teachers, lawyers, policymakers, and women who run their own businesses.
It is conferences like this that compel governments and people everywhere to listen, look and face the world's most pressing problems.
Wasn't it after the women's conference in Nairobi ten years ago that the world focused for the first time on the crisis of domestic violence?
Earlier today, I participated in a World Health Organization forum, where government officials, NGOs, and individual citizens are working on ways to address the health problems of women and girls.
Tomorrow, I will attend a gathering of the United Nations Development Fund for Women. There, the discussion will focus on local -- and highly successful -- programs that give hard-working women access to credit so they can improve their own lives and the lives of their families.
What we are learning around the world is that if women are healthy and educated, their families will flourish. If women are free from violence, their families will flourish. If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish.
And when families flourish, communities and nations will flourish.
That is why every woman, every man, every child, every family, and every nation on our planet has a stake in the discussion that takes place here.

I have a Dream Three
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
This is our hope. Thiscompany Sale Inflatableis the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

I have a Dream Three
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
The marvelous new cheap Inflatable Toysmilitancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.
We cannot walk alone.And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some for sale Inflatable Obstacleof you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.
