BEIJING - More than seven million very affordable tickets are now on sale for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) announced on Sunday. About 75% of the tickets will be sold domestically and the rest will be available to the overseas public.

Late last year, BOCOG announced that ticket prices for the Games will be in keeping with its efforts to host Games accessible to the broadest spectrum of people.
Anticipating a high level of demand, BOCOG Executive Vice President and Secretary General Wang Wei reiterated that the ticketing process will be conducted in the most efficient, fair and open manner possible and will follow internationally-accepted practices.
BOCOG will initiate a three-phased ticketing process for domestic sales. In each phase, residents on the Chinese mainland will be able to order tickets through the official ticketing website (http://tickets.beijing2008.com), calling the BOCOG ticketing call center (+86-10-952008), or through designated Bank of China branches.
For overseas sales, the process will be determined in each country and territory by its National Olympic Committee and its ticketing agent.

Abu Dhabi’s leading real estate company, Sorouh Real Estate announced a record-breaking feat yesterday unveiling the largest poster in the world – all of 20,000 square metres in size measuring 200 by 100 metres – that has been certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
Sorouh announced the record along with the launch of its Sorouh Faces campaign, through which it launched a corporate citizenship campaign that will, in the coming months, collect one million faces to be placed on the poster.
For every photo gathered, Sorouh will donate $1 to the UAE Red Crescent, totaling a donation of $1 million. To gather the one million photos, Sorouh has launched a dedicated website, www.sorouhfaces.com, where anyone can upload their pictures at no cost.
“Innovation, creativity and responsibility to society are inherent to Sorouh’s business ethics and corporate culture. Today, in addition to unveiling a world first with a creative approach, we are also proclaiming our adherence to supporting the welfare of others who are not always fortunate enough to have a roof over their heads and who strive for a better life,” said Mr. Masood Al Awar, Special Advisor to the Chairman of Sorouh and Executive Director Sales and Marketing
“Our $1m donation will help fund a new Red Crescent programme to repair and reconstruct the homes of the underprivileged in the UAE, who cannot afford to carry out this essential work themselves.
Be that one face in a million.
Wait no longer and have your photo on the largest poster in the world.

Please only watch if you have the stomach to see it. I found this video on line, this is not taken by me and so I am not to be held responsible. I am only putting it here because I felt very sorry for the girl in this video. All those people involved and even watching should be prosecuted and sentenced to a painful death.
