<![CDATA[Emblem, Mascot and Slogan for Guangzhou Asian Para Games unveiled]]> 6806706 2009-11-07 14:17:43

&$Photo shows the official slogans -- We cheer, We share, We win! of the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games released in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong province, on Nov. 6, 2009. The Organizing Committee of the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games announced the emblem, mascot and slogan for the Games that will be held from 12-19 December 2010, in the city.(Xinhua/Liu Dawei) &$&$ Organizers of the 2010 Asia Para Games unveiled on Friday the emblem, mascot and slogan for the Games that will be held Dec. 12-19, 2010 in the Southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. The official emblem of the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games is inspired by the Xiguan Flower Window, a design element that can be found in traditional houses in Guangzhou. The Xiguan Flower Window,which originated in northeastern China, was introduced to the city during the 17th Century, when window paper was replaced with the painted glass used in the West, to better deal with the challenging Lingnan climate. The window was widely used in Xiguan residences and eventually became an important part of the Lingnan style of architecture. The Xiguan Flower Window thus represents integration and the diverse and welcoming nature of the Lingnan people. The emblem is also a silhouette of an athlete in motion and uses the three colors, Red, Green and Blue, of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) logo in its design. Fun Fun, the official mascot of the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games, is a lively Kapok, Guangzhou's native flower. In Lingnan culture, the Kapok represents strength and so Fun Fun is a wonderful ambassador for the Para Games and represents the fighting spirit of the disabled and the never ending quest for success. In Chinese, Fun Fun is used to describe a flower's fragrance-sweet and pleasant with a lovely aroma. Fun Fun's five dancing petals create a bright smiling face, symbolizing the joy felt by everyone taking part in the Games and the enthusiasm and support shown by Guangzhou. Fun Fun's active, sporty pose symbolizes the vitality of the Para Games and the power that comes with motion. Fun also has a wonderful meaning in the English language - our new friend is telling us that the Guangzhou 2010 Asian Para Games will be an unforgettable event that will be fun for everyone - a key goal of these Games. The Official Slogan of the Asia Para Games is: We Cheer, We Share, We Win. "The Asian Para Games are for the people of Asia, both the physically challenged and the able-bodied. With athletes and delegations from 45 countries and regions in Asia participating and thousands of sports fans expected to attend, the Asian Para Games are for everyone. They are important, they are inclusive andthey are welcoming. The 'We' in the Games Slogan is all of us," the organizing committee said in a press release. &$&$Source: Xinhua&$&$&$ 【1】【2】【3】 &$&$

&$Joe Jackson, the father of deceased pop star Michael Jackson, poses for photographers backstage at the BET Awards '09 in Los Angeles June 28, 2009.(Xinhua/Agencies, File Photo)&$&$ The late pop singer Michael Jackson's 81-year-old father demanded his share of 15,000 dollars from the late son's estate as monthly expenses, his attorneys said Friday. The attorneys filed court papers on behalf of Joe Jackson in Los Angeles Superior Court, urging the court to award Jackson's estranged father a family allowance "because Michael Jackson actually supported him during his lifetime and he does not have other source for support." Joe Jackson receives 1,700 dollars monthly in Social Security payments, and he has diabetes and had a stroke in 1998. The documents said the special administrators of the estate, John Branca and John McClain, should have obtained an allowance for him just as they did for the singer's mother, Katherine Jackson. Both men knew that Michael Jackson supported his father financially for decades, the court papers state. Katherine Jackson lives in Encino, California and Joe Jackson resides in Las Vegas, Nevada. Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff previously approved nearly 30,000 dollars in monthly payments to Katherine Jackson each month and another 60,000 dollars monthly payment for the care of the singer's three children. Michael Jackson, 50, died from a drug overdose on June 25 while he was rehearsing for 50 sold-out concerts in London. His personal physician Conrad Murray is considered the focus of a criminal investigation but he has not been charged. Police classified his death as homicide, and the investigation is still ongoing. &$&$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]>

Some people think war is a continuation of political conflicts, some believe war is an unavoidable disaster. However, as innocent witnesses and also vulnerable victims of war, children are always the best narrators of the truth. What does a war look like in their eyes? Children from different regions have described the endless warfare worldwide as a horrible and stupid occurrence, or the result of greed for money, land and property. But at least we can celebrate that none of them like war. "Politicians are not willing to share lands and property, then they fight. I hope politicians will be more clever to solve problems in a peaceful way. I wish all the wars will be ended soon. War is the most horrible thing in the world." -- Denis, boy,11 years old, from Russia. "War breaks out because people want the same thing. My brother and I had a 'war', fighting for a bicycle both of us wanted. If there are more things in the world, everyone can have what he or she wants, maybe war will not occur." -- Paula Osman, girl, 10 years old, from Argentina. "People always want to get things which belong to others, that's why invasion and war breaks out. Of course, war is bad. It destroys homes, the earth and finally all the human beings." -- Han Zhenyu, boy, 13 years old, from China. "There are wars in the world because people don't like each other. War takes away many lives and tortures children. There are many wars in Africa, probably because the leaders don't want to let their power go during the elections." -- Michelle Lunkuse, girl, 10 years old, from Kenya. "Because of money! Wars should be ended. So many people died inwar." -- Arturo Hernandz, boy, 9 years old, from Mexico. "When there is any accident, or when people say unpleasant things, or when someone talks too much and angers others, or when sometimes we become too naughty making mom angry, then a war takes place." -- Kavya Aithani, girl, 8 years old, from India. "Because we don't like to compromise and hold together. I think the world should be in peace not in war." -- Yang Zongjin, boy, 10 years old, from China. &$&$Source: Xinhua&$&$ ]]>
