>Junk food ads to be banned
伦敦'封杀'垃圾食品广告
A ban on junk food advertising across London's public transport system will be introduced on Feb 25. London mayor Sadiq Khan has confirmed the "tough action" initiative, which is part of the London Food Strategy to reduce child obesity in the city by 2028. The restrictions also outlaw adverts for goods deemed "less healthy" by Public Health England, such as salted nuts. London has one of the highest childhood obesity rates in Europe, with almost 40% of children aged 10 and 11 being overweight or obese. Speaking of the move's impact on reducing obesity, Khan said: "Reducing exposure to junk food advertising has a role to play in this - not just for children, but parents, families and carers who buy food and prepare meals."
明年2月25日,伦敦公共交通系统将全面禁止投放垃圾食品广告。伦敦市长萨迪克•汗已经批准"强硬行动"倡议,这是旨在于2028年前减少该市儿童肥胖现象的"伦敦食品战略"的一部分。盐焗坚果等被英国公共卫生局认定为"不那么健康"的商品的广告也在被禁之列。伦敦是欧洲儿童肥胖率最高的地区之一,近40%的10岁及11岁儿童超重或肥胖。萨迪克•汗在谈到这一举措对减少肥胖的影响时表示:"减少接触垃圾食品广告在这方面能起到作用——不仅有利于儿童,而且还有利于购买食物和准备餐食的父母、家庭以及看护者。"
>Eiffel Tower staircase sold
埃菲尔铁塔旧楼梯拍卖
A collector from the Middle East paid 169,000 euros, three times of the initial estimate of a section of the Eiffel Tower's original spiral staircase at a Paris auction, Artcurial auction house said on Tuesday. Composed of 25 steps, the 4.3-meter high section, which came from a private collection in Canada, had linked the second and third stories of the Paris landmark "French Iron Lady" built in 1889. In 1983, the staircase was removed when elevators were installed, and it was cut into 24 sections, with their length ranging from two to nine meters. One of them has since been preserved on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower and three others have been donated to three French museums. On Dec 1, 1983, the remaining 20 sections were first auctioned.

>Meet the underwater painter
俄罗斯画家水下作画
Olga Belka, a Russian born diver and artist who now lives in Thailand, creates unique paintings which bring models and sea animals to life while under water. Each of her unusual pieces of artwork requires between two and six two-hour dives to complete. Olga started underwater painting because she wanted to capture the beauty of life under the waves, and has since created some truly unique pictures. Olga has previously stated that she finds the sea a "constant source of inspiration" that she can share with the world. But if you want to purchase one of the bespoke items, it could set you back as much as $3,000.
在俄罗斯出生、现居泰国的潜水员兼艺术家奥尔加•贝尔卡在水中创造出独特的画作,让模特和海洋生物都跃然纸上。她与众不同的画作每幅都需要进行2-6次两小时的潜水才能完成。奥尔加开始在水下作画是因为想捕捉海底生物的美,此后她创作出多幅独树一帜的画作。奥尔加曾经说,她发现大海提供了她可与世界分享的"源源不断的灵感"。但要想买一幅她的定制画作价格不菲,可能需要花费多达3000美元。
