    "Up until now, the galas have been happening in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary," said McCandle. "We wanted to have a gala. I told the guys in head office in Toronto, to pick a number - not to tell me - but if we hit it, I want a gala in London. And we did. It is a chance to thank the people who registered, hand out a few awards and have some fun. "

    For men looking for a professional to take off their month-long growth. there are a number of "shave-off" events around the city Friday. One will be at David E. White at the corner of Richmond Street and Queens Avenue. For a $20 donation, your prized moustache will be professionally removed. Organizers are hoping to set a Guinness World Record for the most number of shaves given in a day.            Started in Australia in 2003, the craze (热潮) found its way to Canadian men by 2007, and in the last couple of years, Canada has collected more, setting the pace in terns of fundraising.

    In 1988, a company in Ohio invented an alcohol-based hand cleaner, which was meant to be used by health-care worker; when soap and water were unavailable. Joe Kanfer, the company's C. E. O. , told me recently, "there were a couple of other alcohol products out there, but they were really ugly. Either they were greasy (油腻的) or they burned your hands white. " Kanfer took a year and a half to develop this product which is visually appealing and does almost no harm to one's skin. Still. Kanfer lost money on it for mare than a decade because people couldn't get what it was for.

    The product was called Purell. Today, you see it everywhere. My doctor uses it several times during every office visit. You can aer it in almost every office in the U. s.. and school picnics would be impossible without it. The former president Grorge W.Bush was called a racist for using hand cleaner after first shaking hands with Barack Obama, but Bush also gave some of it to Obama and recommended it as a cold preventative (预防药). What was once

barely even a product is now a growing product category, worth hundreds of millions per year.

The rise of Purell makes some health professionals uneasy, Some claimed that promoting hand cleaner may worsen "our culture's irrational (非理性的) fear about bacteria. " Still, the clear agreement among experts is that unclean hands pose a serious health risk, and are one of the main reasons in the spread of infectious in hospitals. A 2007 study estimated that, in America in 2002, such infections resulted in more than a million and a half patient illnesses and caused or contributed to nearly a hundred thousand patient deaths - about double the number of U. S.deaths currently caused each year by AIDS and guns combined.

However, I asked a food microbiologist whether clean hands might have a medical drawback. He said. "We might have a much healthier population if we adopted the kinds of condition that we see in many Third World countries, with poor-quality food and poor-quality water and lots of bacteria. If we did that, we would have adults who were very healthy and have very strong immune systems. Unfortunately, the price that we would pay would be extremely high child death rate. "

    The curiosity about wild animals seems to he imprinted on human

DNA. For a child. wild animals are a thing of wonder, and as we grow older, we hope to see them in the flesh.

While the rich and powerful have collected wild animals for centuries, the concept of the modern zoo dates back to the 18th century, when exotic(异国的)species discovered during European exploration were contained in jails of steel and concrete for the entertainment of a very receptive public.

    Times have fortunately changed for the aninal kingdom. and as the concept of animals in cages becomes more disgusting, so the wonders of travel provide opportunity to experience them in their natural habitat.

    There is simply no comparison to observing creatures in the wild and watching them going about their business in their natural environment. But even low-impact tourism can do harm to wildlife, so where do we draw the line at our interaction?

    If it's not managed properly, tourism can have negative impacts (影响) on animal populations and fragile habitats," says Dermot 0'Gorman, from WWF. "Massive influxes (涌入) of tourists" often to a relatively small area, can add to the pollution, waste, and water needs of the local population. "

    Furthermore, our very presence in a wildlife habitat call impact on animal behaviour, from changing feeding habits to placing them in danger from vehicles.

    For many animal lovers, a visit to a wildlife shelter provides the rare opportunity to interact with species on a more intimate level, becoming directly involved in the care and management of animals rescued from poachers, or the wildlife trade.

A recent report by World Animal Protection, however, has placed the spotlight on all animal attraction, suggesting that any hands-on encounter is essentially cruel, and calling on an end to "irresponsible wildlife tourism".

    This condemnation  follows  other  responsible tourism companies, such as World Expeditions, banning elephant rides and animal shows from their travel plan, encouraging travellers to instead seek alternatives to wildlife viewing.
