Guess the athlete game


Anybody recognize this iconic athlete? Probably much bigger in China than in his native Sweden. Anyway, this is who I will be spending Sweden's National Day with. Thumbs up if you -despite the bad photo- can tell me his name (and if you're not Swedish!).

Shanghai port consolidates its position as world's busiest

Image
SHANGHAI, the world's busiest container port, will consolidate its title this year and leverage its record throughput to become a multi-faceted provider of port services. The city, which overtook Singapore as the world's biggest container handler last year, saw its annual container traffic volume surpass 30 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) yesterday. The figure hits an unprecedented level in the world's port history and marks a new leg in Shanghai's voyage to become a global shipping center by 2020. China's remarkable trade boom is reflected in the Shanghai port numbers, which went from 7,951 TEUs in 1978 to 29.05 million TEUs in 2010. The city's customs oversaw a total of US$790 billion worth of imports and exports in the first three quarters of this year - a 19.3 percent year-on-year increase. And its port handled 23.9 million TEUs over the first 10 months, ahead of that of 23.56 million TEUs at Singapore Port. Shanghai International Port (Group) Co,...

上海田子坊弄堂街道 上海是一個有趣的城市. 經過了好幾年之後, 重新回到上海待了兩天. 感覺上, 這個城市又蛻變了很多, 從遠本的五條地鐵, 現再增加到十一條, 還有兩條仍在建. 聽說上海的地鐵總里程, 已經要居全世界數一數二的位置. 想當然, 這都是拜世博會之賜. 有了空閒, 去了一趟田子坊. 喜歡的不是在那裏所賣的所謂的藝術家設計產品. 我喜歡的是弄堂裏, 隨處可見的露天咖啡座. 非常的悠閒, 如果你曾到過上海新天地那樣的石庫門建築而喜歡那樣的感覺, 那麼我強力推薦這個地方是一定要去的....個人評鑑, 遠勝於新天地!!! www.tianzifang.cn/

40,000 hairy crabs released in Yangtze

THE city government yesterday freed 40,000 hairy crabs into the mouth of Yangtze River near the Qingcaosha Reservoir, the first step in a five-year campaign to repair the ecosystem to improve the water quality in the reservoir that provides tap water for millions of residents. The hairy crabs will help establish a complete food chain in the river to help more fish and other aquatic animals survive in the river, Zhuang Ping, deputy director of the East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, told Shanghai Daily yesterday. The released crabs, about half female and half male, will eat plankton while some of their offspring will become food for meat-eating fish higher in the food chain, said Zhuang, who is leading the water-improvement program. "The better ecosystem the water has, the better its water quality will be," he said. With a capacity of 438 million cubic meters, the reservoir is providing tap water to about 10 million ...
