MADRID mizuno running shoes clearance , June 21 (Xinhua) -- Spain's eastern city of Valencia celebrates World Giraffe Day on Wednesday with a new baby giraffe that was born less than a month ago and several activities to raise awareness on giraffes' preservation.


BIOPARC Valencia has seen the birth of several giraffes, which makes it an important place for preservation. The baby giraffe is a Nubian sub-specie, typical from the areas of northern Uganda and center west of Kenya.


Nowadays there are fewer than 2,000 specimens of this sub-specie in the world.


Pepa Crespo, Communication Director at BIOPARC, explained that workers are "breeding the baby giraffe with feeding bottles, the team is devoted to breed her so that survives".


Crespo explained that the mom refused the baby after having bred previously others, that is why the team are eagerly taking care of the new baby giraffe so that can survive.


BIOPARC has organized several activities that will be carried out during five days to raise awareness about the situation of giraffes so that more people get involved in the preservation.


"Education is very important because everyone of us can contribute to preserving the planet's biodiversity and emblematic species such as the giraffe from home making the right decisions on consumption, for example," Crespo said.


BIOPARC will donate one euro of each entrance ticket and 10 percent of the sales of products related to giraffes to projects working on the preservation of giraffes. Visitors can also donate money to these projects during these five days.


In 1980 there were around 155,000 giraffes and 35 years later there are less than 100,00 giraffes.

BEIJING, July 9 (Xinhua) -- China on Sunday completed the trial exploration of flammable ice in the South China Sea, which extracted more than 300,000 cubic meters after a 60 day non-stop mining operation.


Starting from May 10, the mining operation in waters aout 320 kilometers to the southeast of Zhuhai city, Guangdong Province, has beaten previous expectations and set world records in both the length and total amount of extraction, according to the China Geological Survey Bureau.


The trial exploration saw an average daily extraction of more than 5,000 cubic meters of high purity gas, with the highest daily output at 35,000 cubic meters.


Meanwhile, 6.47 million sets of experimental data were recorded.


China declared its first success in collecting samples of flammable ice in the South China Sea on May 18. The ice usually exists in seabed or tundra areas with the strong pressure and the low temperature necessary for stability.


The substance can be ignited like solid ethanol.


One cubic meter of flammable ice, a kind of natural gas hydrate, is equal to 164 cubic meters of regular natural gas.


China began research in flammable ice in 1998, and found deposits in the South China Sea in 2007.


A number of breakthroughs were made during the trial exploration, ranging from extraction methods to environmental protection.


No pollution to the environment or geological hazards occurred.

When planning your vacation, it's always a good idea to plan way ahead. Traveling is a big enough event without adding undo stress brought on by lack of proper organization. When your vacation is going to be a cruise, it's even more important to plan ahead, especially if you are planning on getting some package holidays for the family. These often have special family rates and go quickly. Planning your cruise is one thing, booking it is the important part.

We don't always know months ahead of time of a trip we are going to take. Many couples, with their busy work schedules, don't get around to planning and scheduling their vacation until a month or two in advance. Often this is not enough time to get the cruise of your choice. Do not automatically give up. Many times they have cancellations and can get you on after all.

Certain cruises are more popular than others, however, and these are the ones that usually need the most advance notice for booking. Many couples don't like to book too far in advance because they are often required to pay at that time, which is a problem for some. Some companies, however, will only require a certain down payment, with the balance being due at a later date. Another advantage of early booking is you often get discounts.

A cruise to Bermuda has always been a popular vacation for any tourist. The trip to Florida only takes a few days and then you're on a beautiful fun-filled island. If you plan on traveling in the summer months, you may need anywhere from six to nine months booking notice. Many couples choose to take a Bahamas cruise in the off-peak months when there is not as much advance booking required. Prices are often lower during the off-peak months as well. September thru November or March thru May all offer very nice weather, but it's not as busy .
