RIO DE JANEIRO， Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Olympic champion Xu Lijia led the overall ranking after two rounds in the women's laser radial when the 2016 Olympic sailing competition begins on Monday.
After she won in London， Xu retired. And Only nine months ago， she resumed training and participated in her third consecutive Olympics.
Xu ranked third and fourth in the first two rounds respectively， putting her to lead the overall ranking.
"I felt OK in the races，" said Xu. "I enjoy sailing more and more."
"I'm so happy to be back on the boat again because I had some injuries and couldn't train properly. It really feels a very precious time. I want to embrace every second of it."
"I injured my shoulders two months ago and couldn't do upper body training but I did keep lots of endurance and lower body training， like cycling. Today I got the opportunity to sail freely. My arms are a bit sore but nothing matters." she added. "I feel very focused and relaxed and I feel very familiar about the course."
Brazil's Robert Scheidt began his sixth Olympic Games on home soil. The Brazilian legend returns to the laser class in which he won his first Olympic medal (gold at the Atlanta 1996 Games)， having won silver at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the now-discontinued star (keelboat) class.
Scheidt became seventh overall after two races on Monday.
"Of course it's always better to start well than not. The guys who got two top tens are confident， but having said that there are still a lot of races to go. It's too early in the regatta to talk about points."he said.
Croatia's Tonci Stipanovic led the overall ranking in the men's radial.
While in the men's RS:X， defending champion Dorian Van Rijsselberghe from the Netherlands was second overall， behind London 2012 silver medallist Nick Dempsey from Britain. In the women's RS:X， Olympic champion Marina Alabau Neira from Spain was placed fifth overall.
The head of a middle school in Jiangxi Province has been fired following a class advisor's dismissal after the school reportedly expelled a student for his whistle-blowing [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...llison-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...llison-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , China Youth Daily said today.
The class advisor has been sacked for telling the student, Liu Wenzhan, that he was expelled after he accused the school of giving illegal extra lessons and taking extra tuition.
Yudu Experimental Middle School in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province claimed that it was the advisor's personal opinion and not the school's position. They asked Liu to return to class [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...strong-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...strong-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , which he declined to do. So far Liu has been off school for more than ten days.
Liu had written to different government departments about his school giving extra classes to students at the weekend for a fee, starting on March 7 of this year.
His class advisor soon asked Liu if he was the complainant, which led him to believe that his personal information provided in the complaints had been disclosed to the school. Later, more of Liu's complaints came out.
Before the start of the fall semester [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...-Simms-Draft-Jersey/]http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/Giants-Phil-Simms-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , Liu's mother received a WeChat message from his class advisor, saying the school would not accept Liu's registration and asking him to change schools. The advisor was later dismissed for "delivering messages under the name of the school without gaining the proper prior approval".
Officials at Yudu Experimental Middle School in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, allegedly talked with Liu a few times over this matter.
Liu told Beijing Youth Daily that the head of the school visited him on Tuesday and apologized for the advisor's actions.
The school's extra weekend classes were confirmed by Yudu's county publicity department [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...conkey-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...conkey-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , the newspaper said.
To explain his motive for filing the complaints, he said the county he is living in is a poor one and the extra tuition could be a huge burden for those poverty-stricken students. "Some of my schoolmates had to quit school because they couldn't afford the tuition," he said. "I also come from the countryside so I know how they feel."
Liu is among the school's top students, allowing him to enjoy free tuition.
Investigation teams have been dispatched to Yudu Experimental Middle School and Yudu County's education bureau by the county government for further probing [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...Omameh-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...Omameh-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , an announcement released by Yudu's publicity department shows.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- A new study finds that the United States made little progress from 2000 to 2010 in reducing relative disparities between people of color and whites in exposure to harmful air pollution emitted by cars, trucks and other combustion sources.
The study builds on the work led by University of Washington (UW) researchers in both 2000 and 2010, identifying that disparities in exposure to outdoor concentrations of a transportation-related pollutant [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...Vernon-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...Vernon-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , namely nitrogen dioxide (NO2), were larger by race and ethnicity than by income, age or education.
The relative inequality persisted across the decade.
For the study, published in the recent issue of Environmental Health Perspectives [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...ham-Jr-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...ham-Jr-Draft-Jersey/[/url] , the researchers developed a first-of-its-kind model that combines satellite and regulatory measurements with land use data to predict pollution at a neighborhood level throughout the United States.
Measured in parts per billion (ppb), estimated average annual NO2 exposure decreased from 17.6 to 10.7 ppb for nonwhite populations, and from 12.6 to 7.8 ppb for white populations.
Yet people of color were, on
average [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...Solder-Draft-Jersey/]http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/Giants-Nate-Solder-Draft-Jersey/[/url] ,
consistently exposed to more air pollution than their white non-Hispanic
counterparts during the decade. Considering relative differences, nonwhites
experienced 40 percent higher exposures than whites in 2000; in 2010, that gap
shrunk slightly, to 37 percent.
Furthermore [url=http://www.authenticgiantsshop.com/...trahan-Draft-Jersey/]http:///...trahan-Draft-Jersey/[/url] ,
in 2000, concentrations of NO2 in neighborhoods with the highest proportion of
nonwhite residents were 2.5
