BEJING Anton Stralman Lightning Jersey , March 15 (Xinhua) -- China's world champion He Zi stumbled on her third dive and surrendered the women's 3m springboard title to teammate Wang Han while Olympic and world champion He Chong won the men's 3m springboard on the second day of the FINANVC Diving World Series 2014 at the National Aquatic Center (Water Cube) here on Saturday.
He Zi, winner at the Barcelona world championships, led the first two rounds but lost her balance on her third dive 305C, which earned only 49.50 points.
Wang Han, bronze medalist in the 1m event at the Barcelona worlds, displayed consistent form throughout to win with a total score of 368.55 points. He Zi finished second in 356.40 and Pamela Ware of Canada came third in 339.75.
"I didn't expect to have such a bad start in my third dive. I tried to adjust my body after I felt my feet slipped out of the springboard, but failed Mikhail Sergachev Lightning Jersey ," said He Zi. "It is a lesson for me that I need to keep focused during the competition all along."
It was Wang Han's first victory over He Zi in big events. "I am happy with the gold, but I can not dance or sing for my victory because I had some minor mistakes during the competition. I hope I can do better and go further in the future events," said Wang.
A mistake in the reverse 307C did not spoil He Chong's bid for a gold in the men's 3m springboard. He scored only 73.50 points for his third dive but came back strongly in the last two rounds to amass a winning total of 528.80 points.
China's synchro platform Olympic champion Lin Yue made his springboard debut and placed second with 494.95 while Illya Kvasha of Ukraine had bronze in 484.80, edging Evgeny Kuznetsov of Russia by 0.80.
"I had ups and downs during today's semifinal and final. I felt rusty in the competition and since I am getting elder, it's hard to recover from injury," He Chong said.
Kvasha was happy with his bronze medal after a close battle with Kuznetsov. "It's good that I finally got the medal. It is highest level of competition so far this year. I think I will get better after more events before the most important events in this year -- the World Cup and the European Championships in July and August," Kvasha said.
The 2014 FINANVC Diving World Series Beijing stop will come to the end on March 16 after the men's and women's 10m platform finals.
WASHINGTON Nikita Kucherov Lightning Jersey , Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- By the end of this century,summer heat waves could exceed the upper limit of humansurvivability at "a few locations" in South Asia, a region of deeppoverty where one-fifth of the world's people live, a new studysaid Wednesday.
The most affected regions would be the Chota Nagpur Plateau,northeastern India, and Bangladesh, according to the studypublished by the U.S. journal Science Advances.
"Our findings have significant implications to the ongoingconsiderations regarding climate change policy Steven Stamkos Lightning Jersey ," said the study,which is based on detailed computer simulations using the bestavailable global circulation models.
The new findings were conducted by Professor Elfatih Eltahir ofthe Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Assistant Professor EunSoon Im of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology andProfessor Jeremy Pal at Loyola Marymount University in LosAngeles.
Scientists have known that hot weather's most deadly effects forhumans come from a combination of high temperature and highhumidity, an index which is measured by a reading known as wet-bulbtemperature.
The wet-bulb temperature reflects the ability of moisture toevaporate, which is the mechanism required for the human body tomaintain its internal temperature through the evaporation ofsweat.
At a wet-bulb temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, the human bodycannot cool itself enough to survive more than a few hours.
A previous study found that the wet-bulb temperature has rarelyexceeded about 31 degrees Celsius anywhere on Earth in the pastdecades.
However, when it does happen Vladislav Namestnikov Youth Jersey , "the most detrimental humanimpacts of climate change on heat waves could potentially be thosein developing nations because of the vulnerability of theirpopulations," the study said.
In much of India and Pakistan, an apparent rising trend in thefrequency of deadly heat waves has been observed, it said.
For example, the fifth deadliest heat wave in recorded historyaffected large parts of India and Pakistan, claiming around 3,500lives in 2015.
The new study showed that by century's end Andrei Vasilevskiy Youth Jersey , absent seriousreductions in global emissions, wet-bulb temperatures are projectedto approach the threshold of survivability over most of South Asia,including the Ganges river valley, northeastern India, Bangladesh,the eastern coast of India, Chota Nagpur Plateau Victor Hedman Youth Jersey , northern SriLanka, and the Indus valley of Pakistan.
And the temperatures could exceed the upper limit at a fewlocations in the Chota Nagpur Plateau, northeastern India, andBangladesh.
In today's climate, about 2 percent of the Indian populationsometimes gets exposed to extremes of 32-degree wet-bulbtemperatures.
According to this study, by 2100 that will increase to about 70percent of the population, and about two percent of the people willsometimes be exposed to the survivability limit of 35 degrees.
And because the region is important agriculturally Jake Dotchin Youth Jersey , it's notjust those directly affected by the heat who will suffer, Eltahirsaid.
"With the disruption to the agricultural production, it doesn'tneed to be the heat wave itself that kills people. Production willgo down, so potentially everyone will suffer," he said.
However, under a moderate mitigation scenario, which is roughlycomparable to the goals pledged by the 2015 UN Conference onClimate Change in Paris Braydon Coburn Youth Jersey , these dramatic, deadly effects can largelybe averted, the researchers noted.
"With mitigation, we hope we will be able to avoid these severeprojections.
This is not something that is unavoidable," Eltah. Cheap Hats Cheap
