The Beijing August 2008 Olympic Games
	In August 2008 the modern Olympic Games take place in the big millions Chinese city of Beijing. The chinese constructors will be handicapped by the fact that the country does not have any experience in organizing such a major event. But when visiting the town and consulting the workers all of them are enthousiastic and do not hesitate to ensure they are fully confident the olympic facilities and all stadia will be allright when the first day of the plays has arrived on August 8, 2008. And Wu Jingjun, chief engineer of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Project Construction Headquarters Office said in Oktober 2007 safety and quality of the projects have also been as expected. The Beijing Olympic Village will look like the world's "First Village" during the Olympics and will be home to over 16,800 athletes, coaches and officials of national teams, it is said.

The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the GaTS world time standard
First, a small discussion If you study the time given by the digital clock here you experience the local time of Beijing (China) at this verry moment. Most of you, world wide, will notice the time differs from your own local time. One has to convert ones own time to get to know times in other timezones. And this is a hard job and intricate for some people. It is clear a solution is necessary and this comes forwards by using the innovative GaTS time standard in stead of conventional standards. GaTS provides in the need of many to be able to use one time indication that covers the entire world. Therefor we offer you the GaTS time standard as discussed on this page. If you want to know something more on timezones and the GaTS standard use this link here to visit the page of UNI-VERSUM.nl that presents some more information and possibilities to study programm listings for writing a digital clock your self or copy and past one from our pages written in several languages. We have to remark that the use of the GaTS standard is not always for free. As a private person you might refer to our site when using the GaTS world clock, for you have permission to use the clock for free. Corporations, enterprises or those who will use the GaTS standard for commercial purposes will have to ask for a license. If this concerns you, you might probably make use of this link that redirects you to our license information pages in several languages. Remind that the next Olympic Games will be held in London (UK) in the year 2012. But first we can enjoy the European Championship EURO2008 (EC, EK), the World Championship (WC, WK) football (soccer) 2010 in Cape Town, South-Africa, and the new football (soccer) EC/EK 2012 in Poland. Please, read the right collum on this page to always be on time to enjoy the matches wherever you live. The Netherlands prepare to organize the Olympic Games 2028, exactly a century after the Games in the year 1928. If this dream comes true the Netherlands will be a mighty nation again, as someone was remembering the Dutch 17th Golden Age century. * - *	CONCRATULATIONS It is a well earned gesture to congratulate China on being choosen by the IOC commission to organize the Olympic Games 2008. The nation now can show off and the whole world can see what she is able to. And since everything seems to develop well in Beijing, we can hardly wait to see the athletes' performences in their branch of sport. These Games will be the ultimate show on earth and everybody in all five continents on earth likes to be on time - day after day - to be present at the start of each individual game. But since day and night wander over the earth's globe, in China it's daytime when on the other half of the planet people are asleep because it is night. Therefor the usual clock knows timezones, each reproducing its own local time. Though the problem of day and night cannot and need not be solved, we can give ourselves a hand by using only one time indication world wide. Now we come to the point where the GaTS world time standard is going to do the job. This standard equalizes time in all timezones, so worldwide the same time is shown. In this way, so, now in Beijing it's the same time as in New York, Beijing or Amsterdam. In order to benefit the profits the standerd offers, simply add a digital GaTS world time clock to your page(s) and you always know the exact time in Beijing. For example, at the moment the GaTS world time in Beijing is: But this is exactly the 'at:' time in your own part of the world, too. Wherever you are. The only thing still to do now is to note in your paper, etc., next to the printed local time indication on which a play you like to follow will take place, the correct at: time. And also get to know during which at:s there is daylight in Beijing (world wide from 39at: --> to 63at: in this city) for during this daytime period most of the Games are on then. Now you only need to keep an eye on the world clock and you'll never be too late to watch f.i. the games on televison any more. But in all day life this time indication is useful, too, of course. Prepare yourself and add the next short script to your page(s) to add a small but clear digital GaTS standerd clock: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.uni-versum.nl/gats/worldclock.js"></script> and always know which time it is anywhere as well as in China, whatever day time or night time. That's what the GatS time standard can do for you. Even more, for in the right hand collom we explane clearly to you that GaTS has something more to offer. And every new development offers new and handy posibilities. Yes, GaTS is great. In the meantime be welcome to experience the overwhelming charismatic and near to sexy Olympic Games 2008 on time wherever you live on earth. authors Labs staff * - * Beijing (China) is situated at the coordinates 23°24'30''east & 39°54'20''north & UTC +8 * - *	Office & Games times To avoid disapointments it is good to know on what times it is possible to communicate with Chinese (business) offices. It is expected the 2008 Games will take place on these same opening times. So we here write down a small form to give you an idea what these (Chinese nine to five) times are: offices open on: 39at: o'clock and close on: 63at: o'clock Of course this is roughly for some companies open and close on other times or work around the clock, 24/7. For a table showing an overview of the daylight times or business hours in some main cities in the world you might look here. The GaTS standard provides in a time indication that shows wether it is closing or opening time of Beijing's economy and forms an indication for daily life in China. One almost automatically notices that it is day-light time in this town or not. Watch this clock: Now the GaTS time is represented accompanied by the characters CT or WT. The ordinary labour times in this city are indicated by a WT and the normal fence times are indicatd by a CT. To practice this clock you add the line of script code left above on this page to your own page or site, but replace the last part 'worldclock.js' by 'cwt_clock_beijing.js'. During the timeperiod showing an extra WT the Games are on and every day you can reach people by phone for now it is Beijing's in the day-time. If an extra CT is shown either one is still asleep or it is in the evening. If you like to practice this clock with another country in mind try out if there is one by replacing 'beijing' by the most principal country's town(s) of your choise, f.i. 'amsterdam' (the Netherlands) or 'paris' (France), etc. But always write the town's name in English. And take into account that more names cities (New York, Los Angeles) are written as one name (newyork, losangeles). Some cities not only show wether or not it is in the day-light or day-light off time, but also note between brackets the next at: WT time, so you know how lang to wait. And do you like to know when the NYSE is going to open, just typ (cwt_clock_)'nyse.js' in stead of a cities name and it appears. You are free to add more than one of the current seventy available clocks to your page(s). Within short more will be published, also with the EURO2008 football (soccer) in mind.

Office & Games times

To avoid disapointments it is good to know on what times it is possible to communicate with Chinese (business) offices. It is expected the 2008 Games will take place on these same opening times. So we here write down a small form to give you an idea what these (Chinese nine to five) times are:

offices

open on: 39at: o'clock

and
