亚马逊瞭望塔监测气候变化
This observation tower in the middle of the Amazon jungle in Brazil will monitor the effects of climate change. It will soar 325 metres above the ground when it's completed at the end of this year. And, it'll be the tallest of its kind.
巴西亚马逊丛林中部这座瞭望塔将监测气候变化的影响。这座瞭望塔今年年底完工时地面高度325米，将是同类瞭望塔中最高的。
(SOUNDBITE) (Portuguese) RESEARCHER FOR THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH INTO THE AMAZON, ANTONIO MANZI, SAYING: "At this stage in the construction, to have two thirds of the tower already in place is a source of great joy for us."

Researchers say its superior height will allow data collected from the air to be more precise. Brazil's annual greenhouse gas emission last year increased for the first time since 2004, a report on Wednesday showed. Environmentalists are urging the government to stop the destruction of the rainforest and reduce the dependency on fossil-fuel.

A rally in healthcare stocks and positive economic data pushed the Dow and S&P 500 to a new highs. The Nasdaq also moving higher. Two pieces of economic data buoying investors:
Homebuilder sentiment rose this month. And producer prices unexpectedly increased last month, but the underlying trend showed inflation was still mild. Voya Financial's Paul Zemsky sees that trend continuing. SOUNDBITE: PAUL ZEMSKY, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, VOYA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT (ENGLISH) SAYING: "Inflation is going to be very benign, has been benign to begin with, and with the recent drop in oil prices, that's only going to help. The rising dollar also helps keep inflation low, as our import prices are dropping."
(2nd reply) In healthcare, Actavis rose a day after it agreed to buy the Botox maker, Allergan in a $66 billion deal. At least two brokerages raised their price targets on the drug maker.

World Toilet Day puts emphasis on dignity and equality
世界厕所日强调尊严和平等
Wednesday is World Toilet Day. It raises awareness of a serious problem. According to the UN, 2.5 billion people in the world still do not have access to proper sanitation, making it a global development priority.
According t the World Health Organization, a person on average goes to the toilet 2,500 times per year. And in total, that is where a person will spend three years of his or her life.
World Toilet Day is a global day of action to raise awareness of the importance of this basic necessity.
It also reminds people of the fact that billions of people do not have access to sanitary toilets, which creates serious health problems in many countries.
Doctors also talk of other issues caused by restroom break habits, which can lead to intestinal diseases, loss of blood flow to the brain and more.
"There are those who see it as a chance for relaxing. Some people use toilets as smoking rooms, others bring their phones and are on them while crouching. Physically, this isn’t a good thing. If one often uses the toilet for too long, this bad habit could even cause problems like rectocele," Doctor Li Anxin, from 302 Military Hospital.
This year's World Toilet Day campaign looks at dignity and equality. It draws attention to how poor sanitation can contribute to gender-based violence.
Around 1 billion people in the world relieve themselves in the open. Many women and girls often wait until it is dark, making them vulnerable to assault. The campaign hopes to lower this number and reduce violence on women.
In addition, statistics show, women on average spend more than twice the time of men while using toilet. But public facilities often provide the same quantity of toilets for both men and women.
In China, toilet construction standards stipulate that in public facilities, the toilets in the ladies' room should be at least 1.5 times more than those in the men's room.
But experts say it is still generally inadequate for the disabled, the elderly and women of men while using toilet.

"It is very inconvenient. There aren't enough toilets," says a woman.
"Sometimes we wait in lines outside the restroom until it’s time for class and the bell rings. So I have to leave with a full bladder, feeling so uncomfortable," says a woman.
