GE and their bright ideas for the 2008 Games

10 August 2008

Without GE there wouldn’t be much of an Olympic Games. That is of course unless the athletes have been practising in the dark! The company has been working around the clock to make sure all 37 official Beijing Olympic venues have a variety of essentials, power and lighting being key among them.

“Build our brand”

But this isn’t the company’s first time around the block. Director of PR for GE, Deirdre Latour, says the reason GE has once again teamed up with the Olympic Games is because “it’s a great opportunity for us to build our brand around the world in key cities like Beijing, Vancouver and London. And the values of the Games align with the values of GE.”
Leading by example

One of GE’s strategies is to provide environmentally advanced technologies to the Games from cleaner energy generation and water purification to efficient lighting technology. And they are doing that by providing water recycling technologies to the National Stadium as well as supplying more than 100 wind turbines to wind farms north of Beijing, which will supply energy to the Olympic central area.

A hands-on approach

On-site GE is showcasing its innovative technology via its Imagination Center. The 1,500 square-metre pavilion allows visitors to see first-hand the pioneering solutions GE created in order to help Beijing host the largest, most technologically advanced Olympic Games to date. Latour adds, “The Imagination Center brings to life GE’s sponsorship of the Beijing Games. It showcases our innovative technologies like wind, water and lighting that have contributed to building the infrastructure of all 37 venues and 168 commercial buildings around Beijing.”

Waterfall and interactive tour

The two-storey building features an outdoor waterfall and interactive tour and is located in the Sponsor Village on the Olympic Green. It is open daily to the public from 4 to 24 August between the hours of 9 a.m. and 10 p.m. After the Games, the Center will be moved and installed in the lobby of the new GE-China headquarters in Shanghai.

Heir to the throne Prince Charles on Tuesday paid off a family debt incurred more than 350 years ago — but was spared the accumulated interest that could have run into tens of thousands of pounds.
Charles handed over 453 pounds and 15 pence (572 euros and 20 euro cents, 885 dollars and four cents) which King Charles II failed to pay to the Clothiers Company in Worcester, central England, in 1651.
The king had commissioned uniforms for his troops to fight the republican forces of Oliver Cromwell at the Battle of Worcester the same year.
The modern-day Charles handed over the cash on a visit to the former headquarters of the royalist troops in the Faithful City, so-called because it remained loyal to his ancestor during the English Civil War.
“It seems that members of the Clothiers Company have a long memory,” he said. “By long I mean nearly 400 years. Nevertheless, as a gesture of good will I come today prepared to honour this debt of 453 pounds and three shillings.
“I suspect that it will not have escaped your notice, however, I am resisting the immense temptation to pay the debt with full interest.I was not born yesterday.”
The high commissioner of the Clothiers Company, Philip Sawyer, accepted the money and gave the future king a receipt.
If interest was taken into account, 453 pounds and three shillings in 1651 would have been worth approximately 47,500 pounds in 2007.

Four out of 10 Americans say they don’t need a marriage certificate to prove love or commitment, according to a new online survey. wow gold

Overall, 44 per cent of the 7,113 Americans aged 20 to 69 who took part in the poll by Zogby International and AOL Personals said they didn’t need marriage to validate their relationships.

“People are coming online to find that special someone but that special someone doesn’t necessarily translate into a marriage, and more so with the folks in their 60s.” AOL Personals Director Keith Brengle said.

Half the respondents between the ages 20 and 29 said marriage wasn’t necessary.

A majority of respondents also said they would prefer to live together first before marriage and most said marriage should truly be until “death do us part,” especially those in their 30s (73 per cent).

Trust was ranked highly important to most singles polled, especially for those in their 20s.

Although 20-somethings said they were more open to experimenting with sexual relationships, they were also more willing to end a partnership over infidelity when compared to respondents in their 50s and 60s.

“Trust is still extremely important for the 20-somethings - they wouldn’t work through any infidelities, they’d walk away,” Brengle said.

However, older respondents were more interested in companionship, didn’t feel the need to be married and were more comfortable accepting infidelity “as a part of life.”

“They’ve probably been tested so they’re much more accepting of things that traditionally you would think they wouldn’t be,” Brengle said.

“As such they’re going to be less likely to have to snoop through a partner’s things to try to find indiscretions.”

The survey also found that as people age they are more likely to believe that more than one soulmate exists.

According to a new study, thin or skinny women who get pregnant are 72 percent more likely tomiscarryin the first three months of pregnancy than their normal weight counterparts. However, the risk can be reduced up to 50 percent by eating the right food or taking multivitamins like folic acid, say researchers.

The researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine carried out their study on 603 British women aged 18 to 55 who had miscarried within three months of getting pregnant.

BBC reports that the new research also indicated that eating fruit and vegetables, and also chocolate, helped reduce the risk of miscarriage. world of warcraft gold

Those classed as underweight had had a body mass index under 18.5.

Additionally, unmarried women or those living with a partner were also at a greater risk than those who “planned” their pregnancies. Planning parents were 40 per cent less likely to miscarry than those for whom conception was an accident.

The research also discovered that woman who separated from their partners after becoming pregnant increased her odds of a miscarriage by 60 per cent. wow gold

If a woman has had a previous abortion, it also raised the chances of a subsequent miscarriage by more than 60 percent, while fertility problems were associated with 41 per cent higherodds.

The research leader, Noreen Maconochie, a senior lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine said, “The findings related to low pre-pregnancy weight, previous termination, stress and change of partner are noteworthy, and we suggest further work be initiated in other study populations.”

Slight unpremeditated Words are borne
　By every common Wind into the Air;
Carelessly uttered, die as soon as born，
　And in one instant give both Hope and Fear：
Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind
According to the Caprice of the Mind.
But Billet-doux are constant Witnesses，
　Substantial Records to Eternity;
Just Evidences，who the Truth confess,
On which the Lover safely may rely；
They’re serious Thoughts，digested and resolved；
And last，when Words are into Clouds devolved.
