The Taipei 101 Building, built in 2004, as of today, is the tallest building in the world. It stands at 1,671 feet (509 m), and is 101 stories high. There is also work underway to install the world’s fastest passenger elevator in the world’s tallest building. The elevator runs at a top speed of 1,010 meters per minute when ascending (600 meters per minute on the way down), which works out to 60.6 kilometers per hour.

Marburg Virus Poses Little Global Threat
Wednesday, April 13th, 2005 at 7:06 pm in Current EventsAn outbreak of deadly Marburg virus in Angola is probably not a global threat but international experts are working to bring it under control, the head of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said.
The haemorrhagic fever, a relative of the Ebola virus, has killed more than 200 people and terrified people in Uige province, north-east of Angola’s capital Luanda.
It causes fever, vomiting and diarrhoea and can cause internal and external bleeding.
The virus can be found in all the bodily fluids so health care workers must take extreme care, CDC director Dr Julie Gerberding said.
“People are frightened and people are embarrassed to be associated with this but I think the important message is we need to identify those who are sick, get them into care and teach health care workers how to protect themselves from blood and body fluid exposure,” Dr Gerberding told CNN.
There is no specific treatment for Marburg but putting patients on fluids and watching them in the hospital can help them survive.
The CDC chief said anyone who travels to the area and who is in contact with a Marburg victim needs to watch for symptoms for 10 days.
She said she did not believe the virus threatened to spread to the rest of the world.
“We’re optimistic about this one,” she said.
Dr Gerberding said the CDC had sent eight staffers to Angola to join a World Health Organisation team that is helping fight the virus, find and treat patients and, eventually, track down its source.
Scientists believe that Marburg, like Ebola virus, comes from an animal, possibly a monkey or other primate.
Studies suggest that people become infected when they hunt and butcher monkeys, apes and other animals for the bush meat trade.
“There is a suspicion that there is some kind of primate source,” Dr Gerberding said.
At least 203 people have died from the Marburg virus in this latest outbreak out of a total of 221 known cases.
Dr Gerberding said this high mortality rate was unusual, as the virus killed about 25 per cent of victims in previous outbreaks.

What My Mom Got To Say About The Quake
Tuesday, March 29th, 2005 at 7:08 pm in Current EventsThis is a first real life experience for a mom who stayed in malaysia almost half a decade and never felt a shake from earth before. When i just reach home from work, my mom told me about this story excitedly:
Last night when i was sleeping, i heard loud noise coming from the celling. At first i thought it was the mouse running around the celling so i go back to sleep. Later on your dad come into the room and sleep and i felt the bed shaking, i turn to your dad and thought he was shaking. But he wasn’t…so i turn to your sis but shes also sleeping like a pig. So i did not bother about it because i thought it was the ghost playing around. Suddenly it happened again the second time and i jumped up. But i go back to sleep again later on(lol) The next morning when i pass by the market then my student’s mother ask me if i can feel the earthquake last nite and by then only i know it really was the earth quake.
My thought: The mouse running around the celling because they can feel the earth shaking first. And my dad was angry cos my mom din ask everyone to go out from the house and later got squeeze by the house like pancake(lol)
