TIANJIN [url=http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/]vans old skool tilbud[/url] , Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- A documentary chronicling the culture of public square dancing, a favorite pastime of middle-aged and elderly Chinese women, has started filming in north China's Tianjin Municipality.
The documentary will be split into 100 episodes and will be filmed over three years, according to director Cui Yongshi.
"The documentary will be about square dancing, and the film crew will go to 31 provincial regions in China to tell the stories of people who enjoy dancing [url=http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/]vans old skool danmark[/url] ," Cui said.
The documentary will use buildings in public squares as a backdrop to show the rapid development in Chinese cities, Cui said.
Square dancing has become a favorite activity among aging Chinese people, mostly women. But when these "dama" -- as the older women are called in China -- bust their moves in public, conflicts sometimes arise.
In 2014, residents in a district in eastern China's Zhejiang Province went toe-to-toe with a noisy group of square dancers by using loudspeakers to blast music and drown out the dancing women.

A group of researchers say a gene mutation detected after 2012 could have enhanced the virus' power to overcome immunity in the Aedes mosquito, its main carrier, and increase its power to infect.
The Asian lineage of the virus [url=http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/nike-air-max-97-kpu-sort-udsalg-herre-sko.html]http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/nike-air-max-97-kpu-sort-udsalg-herre-sko.html[/url] , responsible for the recent epidemics, underwent mutation, increasing its potency to infect, according to the research published in Nature Communications journal Monday.
The research found the evolutionary mutation can increase the ability of Zika to overcome the host mosquito's immune response, reproduce more efficiently and cause greater infection and epidemics [url=http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/billige-vans-nintendo-slip-on-pure-hvid.html]http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/billige-vans-nintendo-slip-on-pure-hvid.html[/url] , Shi Peiyong, a virologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and leader of the research team, said.
Zika, spread mostly by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito, can be passed on by a pregnant woman to her fetus.
BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, both in Hangzhou, spoke highly of an ice hockey game played in Beijing between two professional teams from China and Russia on Monday night.
Xi said that the game is of great importance in boosting the cooperation between the two countries in winter sports.
Ice hockey exchanges between the two countries will help China raise the standard of the game and better prepare for the 2022 Winter Olympics, Xi added.
Putin praised China for cherishing sports culture and attaching great importance to healthy life style, adding that this professional game will help popularize the sport.
Beijing-based Kunlun Red Star, a newcomer to the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), beat Admiral Vladivostok from Russia 6-3 as the host to a KHL game for the first time.
The KHL, an international professional ice hockey league founded in 2008, is widely considered as a premier professional ice hockey league in Europe and Asia. It now comprises 29 member clubs based in Russia, Belarus, Croatia, Finland, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Slovakia and China. The Gagarin Cup is awarded annually to the champion at the end of a season.

Miami (AFP) - Global heat [url=http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-toy-story-sort-vans-sko-udsalg.html]http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-toy-story-sort-vans-sko-udsalg.html[/url] , greenhouse gases and sea levels all climbed to record highs last year, making 2015 the worst in modern times across a range of key environmental indicators, international scientists said Tuesday.
A dire picture of the Earth's health is painted in the State of the Climate report, a peer-reviewed 300-page tome that comes out once a year and is compiled by 450 scientists from around the world.
The record heat that the planet experienced last year was driven partially by global warming, and was exacerbated by the ocean heating trend known as El Nino [url=http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-toy-story-old-skool-hvid-vans-sko-old-skool.html]http://www.oldskooltilbud.com/vans-toy-story-old-skool-hvid-vans-sko-old-skool.html[/url] , it said.
El Nino, which just ended in July, was one of the strongest the Earth has seen "since at least 1950," said the report, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Information.

"Clearly, the report in 2015 shows not only that the temperature of the planet is increasing, but all the related symptoms that you might expect to see with a rising temperature are also occurring," he told reporters on a conference call.
