| Beijing Olympics by the Numbers | | 2008-08-19 10:29:38 | | 8:08pm, 08/08/08- Time and date of opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games - eight is a lucky number in China. WHY is the number 8 considered lucky in the minds of Chinese people?The main reason has to do with the pronounciation of the word 'eight' in Chinese. In Pinyin, a common romanisation of Mandarin, the word sounds like "prosper" or "wealth".It is pronounced "ba" and sounds like the world prosperity which is pronounced "fa".Another reason is the number's perfect symmetrical shape. You can cut the number 8 in half vertically or horizontally, and both halves mirror themselves perfectly.Perfect symmetry lends itself to perfect balance. In Chinese astrology, perfect balance is considered the ideal.In China, you have to pay extra to have the number 8 in your phone number or licence plate. In addition, home and business owners like to have the number in their address.The number 8 is also the base of our data representation in our computing system.In abyte, there are eight bits, the | | By: Snapshot | | |

| Beijing’s Olympics and Human Rights | | 2008-08-10 22:13:00 | | There are a couple of reasons as to why I shall not be watching the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Human RightsSince the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the human rights and China issue has divided many. While some have leapt to China’s defense citing exaggerated claims by an “unfair media” fact is, the sources documenting abuse are many, including the U.S. State Department's annual People's Republic of China human rights report and Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch reports, which consistently document the PRC's abuses in violation of internationally recognized norms.Only last week we read about Annie Yang’s plight. Her story is one of many describing disturbing details suffered in labour camps that incidentally are located only miles from many Olympic venues.
