Amnesty International: China Is Getting Ready

When I first saw these ads, I didn’t know much about Amnesty International and their mission in the world. After some digging I’ve learned that the Amnesty focus on five key areas: Women’s Rights, Children’s Rights, Ending Torture and Execution, Rights of Refugees and Rights of Prisoners of Conscience. Their primary mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of its work to promote all human rights.

“In the name of ensuring stability and harmony in the country during the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese Government continues to detain and harass political activists, journalists, lawyers and human rights workers. Get involved www.amnesty.sk.”

Rome: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered

“Veni, vidi, vici”, which means “I came, I saw, I conquered” was a famous Latin phrase by Julius Caesar. Today we gonna take a walk in the city of Rome. Did you know that the city of Rome was founded by the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus in 753 BC? Rome was the largest city in the world at the time of Emperor Augustus, and probably the largest ever built until the nineteenth century. After the fall of the Roman Empire, then followed World War II, Rome continued to expand. The official population stands at 2.7 million of residents. One of the chief industries of Rome is tourism. We can count numerous notable museums. The city is also the center for banking as well as electronics and aerospace industries. The original language of Rome was Latin, which evolved during the Middle Ages into Italian. Let’s continue our visit of Rome, and please stay with the group.

Where are you gonna be on the 24th September 2007? I don’t know for you, but I will be in front of the TV and watching my favorite TV show, Heroes season two.

Crazy Sphere Tree House

Camping is the best outdoor recreation activity to get in touch with nature. Everyone sometimes need to get away from the civilization and simply enjoy the nature. But the forest is not the best suitable place for us to live. Dealing with the wildlife, climate, animals might be difficult for us to survive. Why not live like the Ewoks? The Ewoks are the fictional species that looks like a teddy-bear in the Star Wars movie. Their villages are built generally between trees and they use the forest floor to hunt. It might be difficult for you to build your own tree house. What about to own your Free Spirit Sphere? It’s a spherical house that you can suspend on the trees. You can visit the Free Spirit Spheres website to get more information about it.

Crazy Cube House in Rotterdam

If you get a chance to walk on the Overblaak Street in Rotterdam, Netherlands. You could see these 32 cube houses all attached to each other. This set of innovative houses was designed by an architect by the name of Piet Blom in 1984. Each cube house has three floors. The reception, the kitchen and the living room are on the first floor. The bedroom and bathroom are on the second floor. The third floor is used sometimes as a small garden. I’m still amazed how people can live in these tiny houses.
