China-made world's largest bulk cargo carrier Ore Tianjin was launched in Qingdao, East China's Shandong province, on Tuesday. The mammoth ore ship, built by the Wuhan subordinate of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), can carry 400,000 metric ton deadweight (DWT). It will go into service for ore transportation between China and Brazil upon delivery, which is expected in April 2018. At 362 meters long, 65 meters wide and 30.4 meters deep, and a deck equivalent to three soccer fields, it's 25 meters longer than the world's largest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. The ship boasts seven cargo spaces and a reserved large fuel bunker, which will help it to transport bulk cargo as far as 25,500 nautical miles. Compared with other huge ore carriers in the world, the ship is greener too, as its fuel consumption is 20 percent less. It means the transportation cost of 1 kg iron ore will be reduced by 30 percent. custom rubber wristbandsblack rubber braceletswellies and wristbands 2017wide rubber bandsbracelet maker onlinewristband creationlivestrong bracelet
BEIJING - A national-level therapy center for children with autistic disorders will soon open in China's southernmost resort island of Hainan.The (south) child autism therapy center, located in the coastal city of Haikou, will open its doors in May -- offering accommodation and treatment for children with autism, its operators said Friday.The facility, run by the China Foundation for Disabled Persons and the Disabled Persons' Federation of Hainan, can accommodate 30 families at present and will be expanded to host up to 200 children in the future.Zhang Yanhua, secretary-general of the foundation, said the facility was China's first national-level therapy center for children with autism. It will mainly admit children from Hainan and those in the country's poor western regions.Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder, characterized by varying degrees of impairment in communication skills and social interaction, and by restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior.No effective cure has been found.A key to early intervention is therapy centers. Because children on the spectrum often struggle to keep up with their classmates, they benefit from attending centers where their specific needs can be attended to.Autism was largely unknown to many Chinese until a few years ago. Successful awareness campaigns have led to increased funding and academic research on the disorder.China has about 2 million children with autism, according to research institute estimates.
