RIO DE JANEIRO， May 13 (Xinhua) -- Workers and volunteers for the Olympic and Paralymic Games， to be held in Rio de Janeiro from August 5-21 and September 7-18， respectively， started to receive their official uniforms on Friday， according to the event's organizing committee.
The uniforms， provided by official supplier to Rio 2016 Chinese sportswear company 361？， are available in four colors and were unveiled to the media on Thursday in Rio's port district where the Games' Uniform and Accreditation Center will be located.
"The uniforms were inspired by our nature， by the energy of the Brazilian people and by the visual identity of Rio 2016. They were created in order to show the essence of the teams working for Rio 2016， who are devoting themselves to make the Olympic and Paralympic Games memorable，" said Beth Lula， Rio 2016's brand director.
Services Manager for the Games， Todd Severson， said the choice of colors would "distinguish the staff and align them with their areas of activity. Blue， for example， fits perfectly for the judges， as the competition areas are also blue. Similarly， green was chosen because the signage in the arenas will be the same color. So what we are saying to the spectators is 'follow the green.'"
The color worn by most of the Games' teams will be yellow as it is for the operational areas and the red uniforms will be for the medical teams， according to the organizers.
The uniform includes a shirt， trousers (that can transform into shorts)， a jacket， a bag (which can be used as a wallet or a waist pouch)， socks， trainers， caps and also a raincoat. All the trousers， shorts and caps are light brown.
Over two million items were made in total for the event which will include around 87，000 workers and volunteers.
In order to get all the items to Rio ahead of the sporting events， the remaining clothing will have to travel for 45 days by ship from China， according to Lula.
ROME [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/c-j-mccollum-jersey/]Wholesale C.J. McCollum Jersey[/url] , June 23 (Xinhua) -- A measles death case of a six-year-oldboy in the northern Italian city of Monza has sparked renewedcontroversy over vaccines in Italy.
The child's immune system was compromised because he hadleukemia and contracted measles from his two older siblings, whohad not been vaccinated.
Italy has seen a dropoff in immunizations in recent years due tohighly organized "no-vax" campaigns claiming that vaccines cancause autism, and that they are a plot hatched by greedymultinationals.
The populist Five Star Movement, currently the leading party inItaly [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/evan-turner-jersey/]Wholesale Evan Turner Jersey[/url] , has in the past endorsed the "no-vax" position.
"Such cases would not happen today if immunization coverage wereadequate and if parents vaccinated their children," ItalianPediatrics Society vaccines commissioner, Susanna Esposito, toldItalian news agency ANSA on Friday.
"The little boy had acute lymphoblasetic leukemia [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/damian-lillard-jersey/]Wholesale Damian Lillard Jersey[/url] , a diseasewhich today has an 85 percent chance of recovery in similar cases,"Lombardy Welfare Councillor Giulio Gallera said in a statementannouncing the child's death late on Thursday.
"I reiterate that herd immunity, that is, vaccinating over 95percent of children [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/clyde-drexler-jersey/]Wholesale Clyde Drexler Jersey[/url] , is the only way to protect those withcompromised immune systems," Gallera wrote.
Measles has the potential for large outbreaks whereverimmunization coverage has dropped below the necessary threshold of95 percent of the population, according to the World HealthOrganization (WHO).
This is the case right now in Italy and Romania, both of whichare experiencing the largest measles outbreaks in Europe [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/brandon-roy-jersey/]Wholesale Brandon Roy Jersey[/url] , the WHOhas warned.
There have been 3,074 cases of measles in Italy since thebeginning of the year, 89 percent of them among unvaccinated peopleand with 40 percent of cases landing patients in hospital,according to the Italian health ministry's weekly bulletin on whatit says is an ongoing measles epidemic.
There is no specific treatment for measles and while most peoplerecover within two to three weeks it can cause seriouscomplications [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/bill-walton-jersey/]Wholesale Bill Walton Jersey[/url] , including blindness, encephalitis, pneumonia, anddeath.
It is globally still one of the leading causes of childhoodmortality [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/terry-porter-jersey/]Wholesale Terry Porter Jersey[/url] , and the only way to prevent it is by immunization,according to the WHO.
"It is extremely painful to comment on the death of asix-year-old boy... who probably could have been saved fromleukemia but who was killed by measles," Health Minister BeatriceLorenzin said in a statement.
"This happens... when herd immunity is lacking," wrote Lorenzin [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/c-j-wilcox-jersey/]Cheap C.J. Wilcox Jersey[/url] ,whose measure raising from four to 12 the number of mandatoryvaccines for young children went into effect on June 7.
"We must respect medicine and scientific truth for the good ofour children," the health minister wrote. The new vaccines lawincludes immunization against highly contagious diseases such aspolio, meningitis, measles [url=http://www.cheapjerseysblazers.com/festus-ezeli-jersey/]Cheap Festus Ezeli Jersey[/url] , and rubella.
It makes completing these vaccinations a pre-requisite forchildren to attend school, and imposes fines on parents who don'tcomply. The measure sparked protests in Italy's north, with 130families in the Alto Adige region saying they would rather claimpolitical asylum in nearby Austria than vaccinate their kids.Enditem
