On arrival, the Chinese health workers had their
temperature taken and were made to wash their
hands , a ritual adopted across the region as part
of efforts to stem the disease .
Yue said the establishment of the clinic in Liberia
brought China 's contribution to the anti -Ebola
effort in the country to $ 122 m .
Before China 's pledge to send 1 , 000 personnel ,
Cuba was the largest contributor of medical
contingents to the crisis .
About 160 Chinese health workers have arrived in
Liberia , where they are due to staff a new $ 41 m
Ebola clinic that , unlike most other foreign
interventions , is being built and fully run by
Chinese personnel .
China , Africa 's biggest trade partner , had come
under fire for the level of its response to the Ebola
crisis . But it said this week it would send 1 , 000
personnel to help fight an outbreak that has killed
over 5 , 000 people in West Africa .
" Up to now in Liberia , China is the only country
which provides not only the construction of an
ETU ( Ebola treatment unit ) , but also the running
and operation and the staffing of an ETU," Zhang
Yue , the Chinese ambassador to Liberia, told the
Reuters news agency .
Yue said the new team in Liberia included a mix of
doctors , nurses , technicians and engineers .
" They experienced SARS ( severe acute respiratory

area, " he said , referring to the contagious illness
that was first identified in China in 2002 and killed
several hundred people across the world .

Pubic crabs: what you need to know

1 .  The name “crabs” refers to the crab-like appearance of public lice. The louse has a rounded body, six legs, some of which have claws which help it hang onto coarse pubic hair. 2. The most common symptom of crabs is itching in the pubic area. This itching is caused by an allergic reaction to the bites, and usually starts about five days after a person gets crabs. 3. Much like head lice, crabs cannot jump; they crawl from one host to another. 4. Pubic lice found on children’s eyelashes may be a sign of sexual exposure or abuse. 5. When you have pubic lice, it’s advisable to get tested for other STI’s. A check-up is usually recommended as a precaution.  6. The “ITCH” usually start at night because pubic lice tend to burrow when their host isn’t moving around too much. 7. Excessive scratching has been found to cause secondary bacterial infections. 8.

China Ice Festival

The event is recognized as the largest of its kind in the world. The Festival officially lasts for one month, but with winter temperatures in the city averaging a bone-chilling minus 17C, many of the sculptures remain in place for considerably longer than that. The sculptures are formed either from compacted snow, or from blocks of ice which are hauled out of the nearby Songhua River. Purified water is also used, - frozen into blocks of clear ice. Many of the sculptures are illuminated to add another dimension to the displays during the long hours of darkness at this time of the year. The Festival began in 1963 but it was only held sporadically, because of the upheaval during the Cultural Revolution. It became a regular event in 1985. In 2001 the Harbin Ice Festival was merged with the Heilongjiang International Ski Festival, to become the event we know today. In 2007, a sculpture celebrating the work of a revered Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, was recognised ...
