HOUSTON Authentic Justin Williams Jersey , Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Officials from China's largest city Shanghai unveiled a cultural event in the U.S. city of Houston Thursday to promote Shanghai's international image and further ties between the two key hubs.

The five-day cultural exchange program, named "Amazing Shanghai",features a cultural pavilion, a photo exhibition and a book donation.

At the opening ceremony held Thursday afternoon in Rice University's Baker Institute, Vice Mayor of Houston Ed Gonzalez said the program's name is "indisputably" accurate in describing the economic hub of China and that "one visit is not enough," recalling his own trip to Shanghai years ago.

Gonzalez said the event could connect the two regions, strengthen bonds between the two partner cities and nurture future relations.

Zhu Yonglei, head of the Shanghai delegation, who also heads the city's information office, told Xinhua that the dozens of photos to be exhibited at the event not only include Shanghai's landmarks, like Huangpu River, but also show the human side of the city.

"Shanghai and Houston already had frequent exchanges, mostly in trade and economy," Zhu noted. "We believe cultural exchanges like this event are also in great need in order to bring people on both sides closer and give those who haven't been to Shanghai a comprehensive picture of the city."

The highlight of the event, Zhu said, is a 360-degree panoramic presentation of Shanghai in Houston's largest upscale shopping mall Galleria. Instead of looking at flat images, viewers will be able to literally immerse themselves in the panorama.

The event made its American debut in New York's iconic Rockefeller Center last year and is expected to tour other American cities in the upcoming years.

College athletes do more than just be active, popular and be idolized. Aside from being physically stressed, they have to keep their grades up. In an article on the official student publication of the Texas State University, the author stressed the difference and similarities of the stress levels of college athletes and regular students. It says that the rigorous training, strategizing and mental exercises college athletes experience on a daily basis are by far different compared to the non-playing student?s level of stress because of the higher risk of getting injuries. Because of this, students are in need of a fracture, sprain or frozen shoulder relief. Here are some important points on how to prevent, treat and keep collegiate sports-related injuries at bay:

1. Consult with a therapist ? It?s common for college sports teams to have physicians and therapists. Closely working with those people benefits in lot of ways, including the set of professionally prepared routine exercises to minimize the risk of injuries or for rehabilitation processes.
2. Musculoskeletal care ? Keeping the bones and muscles healthy is nothing new for athletes, but the nature of sports entails accidents all the time. Wearing therapy wraps that emit Far Infrared Rays gently heats the muscles with therapeutic warmth, and mends what are damaged and torn. It is an effective sprain, fracture and frozen shoulder relief that saves time and effort?both of the things that value most to a college athlete.
3. Healthy Food Consumption ? Junk food is the last thing sore and tired muscles need, and eating a huge amount of healthy and nutritious food will strengthen and improve immunity and promote healthier study habits.
4. Vice-free living ? Nicotine and alcohol pollute the blood and prevent the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the muscles. These unhealthy habits also prolong rehabilitation stage, as it keeps the body from regenerating.
5. Heat and cold therapy ? These two types of noninvasive treatments help athletes in times of unwanted accidents. Ice packs are used to subdue the swelling from sprains and injuries, while the heat is responsible for alleviating the pain. It is important to know the purposes of these treatments because switching them will result to further complications.
6. Patience ? The biggest fear of any college athlete is getting seriously injured and missing out for the rest of the season. Once this happens, it is important to not submit to pressure and play while in pain. Jeopardizing the body will just bear worse results, and every injured athlete should follow the recommended rest period.

Keeping the body healthy is only one thing, and it is another to keep it safe from harm. Although college athletes are strong individuals, they are not made of steel and can also get brittle. These important points to remember do not only provide fracture or frozen shoulder relief, it also improves the mental stability of aspiring professional athletes.
