Surfers Ride Once-in-a-year Tidal Wave in China River
International surfers ride a once-in-a-year tidal bore on eastern China's Qiantang river. Full story: Surfers from all over the world converged in China (Oct. 1) to ride the signature wave that sweeps down then Qiantang River. Referred to as the "Final Blow" in Chinese and "Silver Dragon" in English, the yearly wave rolls through the city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang province. Monday's ride involved 16 surfers from the USA, Brazil, and Australia. [Mary Osborne, California Surfer]: "The difference between surfing in the ocean and the 'Silver Dragon' is that the ocean has many waves, so you can go out there and you wait and you just keep getting wave after wave, whereas here in China on the 'Silver Dragon', there's one wave and it's once a year. So you really have to be ready and have your team be ready and go with the flow and you just hope you get a little bit of the 'Silver Dragon'." Surfing is unfamiliar to most Chinese mainlanders, but Australian participant Perth Standlick says he is optimistic about its future in China. [Perth Standlick, Australian Surfer]: "I think with this event on every year, it's just going to grow and grow and surfing in China will eventually become a bigger sport and I think it's going to be good, because there are really good waves here. You've got the river, you've got waves on Hainan Island -- and it's awesome waves there. So there's no reason why there shouldn't be any Chinese surfers." Maybe with enough publicity, next year's big ride will see ... From: NTDTV Views: 143 7 ratings Time: 01:27 More in Sports

Tiananmen Activist Urges US Action on Forced Organ Harvesting in China
One activist from the Tiananmen Square protests of '89 is urging the United States to reveal what it knows about the allegations of forced organ harvesting in China. Wang Dan, who lives in Taiwan, says the political fractures within the Communist Party means it may be easier for the US to press for information. Rights groups have accused the Chinese regime of harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience. Most of the suspected victims are practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual practice. Disgraced communist official Bo Xilai and his former police chief Wang Lijun are identified as the key people behind forced organ harvesting. During a panel discussion about human rights in China on Tuesday, Wang Dan said the US should take action. [Wang Dan, Chinese Democracy Activist] "We hope that with Bo Xilai's downfall, more information about forced organ harvesting can be exposed. I feel the United States has a responsibility to press the Chinese government for more information. I think it will meet with less resistance now than before." After Chongqing's former police chief Wang Lijun fled to a US Consulate in February, rumors surfaced he had handed information about organ harvesting to US officials. In July, during a press briefing after the US-China human rights dialogue, Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner did not confirm nor deny a question relating to those claims. Legal researcher Dr. Fort Fu-te Liao says if the US does have information, it should reveal them. [Dr ... From: NTDTV Views: 1 7 ratings Time: 01:59 More in News & Politics

Ancient Graves Opened To Hunt For The Real Mona Lisa
Researchers open ancient graves in their hunt for the real Mona Lisa. Full Story: The hunt continues to find the real Mona Lisa. Researchers are opening ancient graves to search for the body of the woman who modeled for Leonardo Da Vinci. Art historians say she is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich silk merchant in 16th century Florence. But there is no definitive proof. [Silvano Vinceti, Historic and Cultural Heritage, Head]: "If everything goes as planned, we will find Gherardini and with her skull we will be able to reconstruct her face thanks to some sophisticated technology. After that we will be able to compare the face to that of Mona Lisa and maybe for the first time will get an answer which will be based on highly sophisticated technology which does not make errors." The graves are located in an old convent near Florence. Researchers say this is where Gheradini was buried. [Irene Baldi, Anthropologist]: "The first phase of the work consists of opening up the remains as much as possible. Then we need to collect information about the manner of burial. Whether the bodies were moved here from another place or buried in a container, if there was a coffin or not, or a cushion under the head, this is the information that we are searching for." No time scale has been set, and the project is ongoing.

David Blaine's Most Dangerous Stunt EVER
Magician David Blaine uses his body to conduct one million volts of electricity. Full Story: Magician David Blaine gives a preview of his most shocking stunt yet - using his body to conduct one million volts of electricity. The hair-raising performance will last 3 days and nights, giving fans in New York plenty of time to check out the action. [David Blaine, Magician]: "Being exposed to an electromagnetic field for that length of time for three days and three nights has never been done. So it's obviously going to effect - we're made out of electrons, neurons, so it's going to affect everything that I'm made out of. So we don't know actually what the effect is." Decked out in chain mail and special boots lined with metal, Blaine fires electricity from his fingertips like lightening. [David Blaine, Magician]: "It's like a static, it's like a buzz, it's like a static electricity almost, like when something runs over your arm and your hair goes up. So it's a pretty cool feeling." The stunt, entitled "electrified", is being presented in partnership with technology company Intel. Fans can get involved at special stations, or on the dedicated YouTube site, both heavily promoting the lightweight laptop Ultrabook. Only one question remains.

1651 People Break Guinness World Record in Hand Drum Dance
This past weekend Brisbane celebrated its first ever Taiwan Festival. With approximately 40 per cent of the Taiwanese Australian population living in Brisbane, the turnout was huge. And that was just as well, since the biggest event of the weekend was an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the number of participants in a Bolang drumming class. Official Guinness World Records Adjudicator Chris Sheedy has spent the past 13 years attending record making and record breaking events. [Chris Sheedy, Official Adjudicator, Guinness World Records]: "Look sometimes there's a little bit of magic to a particular type of a record. I would have guessed that maybe 200 people would turn up today, but it's something that's really caught their imagination so it's been an amazing turn out to get this many people together in Brisbane, it's quite incredible for anything I think." Organisers used social media to encourage people to register, with local politicians and business leaders also getting behind the push to break the world record.

Empire State Building Turns Pink for Cancer Awareness
Elizabeth Hurley turned the Empire State Building pink on Monday (October 1) to help kick off Estee Lauder's Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. It is the 20th anniversary of the campaign, and the actress flicked a switch to illuminate the building pink from the top of the tower. Hurley has been the face of the cosmetic company's cause for over a decade. Joined by Executive Chairman William Lauder and breast cancer survivors, the event was bittersweet this year. William's mother Evelyn, the founder of The Breast Cancer Resesarch Foundation, passed away in November of last year. [Elizabeth Hurley, Actress]: "As a person Evelyn was incredibly kind, had more energy than anyone I've ever met before. I mean, she was old enough to be my mother, but she acted like my daughter sometimes. She was an inspiration in so many ways and it's very tough being here this October without her." Hurley was also joined by her fianc%eacute Shane Warne and her ten-year-old son, Damian Charles Hurley. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A lip gloss named "pink innocence," developed by Elizabeth Hurley, will be sold at Estee Lauder counters to help raise money.

A Japanese mother uses clothes, vegetable and home sundries to turn her sleeping toddler into photographic works of art. Full story: Some mothers use their infant's nap time to catch up on house chores, but this Japanese mother uses it as an outlet for her creativity. Using only things such as clothes, towels, socks and vegetables, Mami Koide turns her daughters dreams into art. A cartoonist by trade, Koide wasn't sure if her husband would find her new art style amusing. [Mami Koise, 41-Year Old Cartoonist and Mother]: "At the beginning, I wasn't sure whether the illustration crafted with clothes would really look like a picture, but after I sent it to my husband, I was very pleased to hear that he really got it and that it was interesting. It made him chuckle." Koide's husband explains that when he has to work late, the photos are a nice reminder of what's important. [Katsunori Sunami, Bar Owner and Father of Nuno]: "When I look at these pictures during my work at night, I'm assured that she's fine, and I think that I should work hard to make this girl happy."
