NINGBO [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/]yeezy boost 350 v2 norge[/url] , China, June 27 (Xinhua) -- Dominican Republic beat Thailand 3-1 here Friday afternoon for an opening victory at the China Women's Volleyball International Tournament.

The Asian champions started well in the first match of the four-team invitational tournament, jumping to a 6-0 lead in the first set thanks to a couple of fine spikes of the 1.67-meter Thipachot Kanika and a few mistakes of Dominican Republic.

Yonikaira Pena finally ended the scoring drought of Dominican Republic with a smart dink to spark a 4-0 run that pulled her side within 6-4.

Thailand held the lead to 15-12 before Dominican Republic staged another 4-0 run to overtake the lead at 16-15. Then the two sides traded leads to tie it at 23-all while Dominican Republic ran off two points in a row to clinch the opener at 25-23.

Dominican Republic continued their momentum to build a 6-2 advantage early in the second set. The Thais worked steadily to cut their deficit to 10-8, but Bethania De La Cruz answered with two kills in a row and a solid block against Kanika helped Dominican Republic enlarge their lead to 13-8.

Falling behind 22-13, Thailand managed to pull within 23-18 to force Dominican Republic head coach Marcos Kwiek to call a time-out. After the game resumed [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/kjop-vans-old-skool-reissue-hvit.html]http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/kjop-vans-old-skool-reissue-hvit.html[/url] , Kanika scored another point for Thailand with a smart play to make it a four-point game, but Gina Mambru came back with a fine drop shot and De La Cruz drove a ball out off bounds to wrap up the set at 25-19.

Coming back with improved services and defense, Thailand dominated the third set as they established a 19-13 lead and went on to pull one set back at 25-16.

It was hotly contested early in the fourth set while Dominican Republic pulled away with a 6-1 burst to go up at 24-16. The Thais beat off four match points, but a serving mistake of Bamrungsuk Hattaya awarded the victory to Dominican Republic.

The host China will play Belgium later on Friday.

VANCOUVER, March 26 (Xinhua) -- If driverless cars cruising streets safely is no longer a dream for car lovers [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/vans-sk8-hi-reissue-leather-hvit-salg.html]http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/vans-sk8-hi-reissue-leather-hvit-salg.html[/url] , then puffing nothing into the atmosphere but a little bit of water exhaust is another dream of environmentalists just around the corner.

Here at the 95th annual Vancouver International Auto Show, car lovers tend to drool over sleek designs, luxury and horsepower. But now, technology is becoming the show's focal point, with more buyers interested in eco-friendly machines with enhanced safety and automated technology.

Beside a monster truck Bigfoot [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/billig-herre-nike-air-presto-sko-rod-hvit.html]http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/billig-herre-nike-air-presto-sko-rod-hv...[/url] , people were surprised to know that this giant car is driven entirely by electricity. The staff of Bigfoot, Jim Kramer, told Xinhua on Thursday that this custom Bigfoot runs on a 30-car battery power plant that puts out 350 horsepower and roughly 800 pound-feet of torque. While its electric motor is quiet like a purring kitten, this monster truck does not lack for power or performance.

"We always try to keep up with the innovations. And electric cars are coming of age. It's getting better every day, and we felt we wanted to build an electric monster truck to show people that the qualities of electric can apply. You know [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/herre-dame-nike-air-max-97-og-undftd-undefeated-sko-rod-hvit-norge.html]http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/herre-dame-nike-air-max-97-og-undftd-un...[/url] , going green doesn't have to be hard. It can be fun. We wanted to make it fun."

Green cars remain a relatively small part of the overall auto industry, but eco-friendly tech is accelerating at a remarkable rate.

Take Toyota's Mirai Fuel Cell Vehicle, for instance. It is a concept car that uses a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity for power. Water is the vehicle's only byproduct. It can be refilled in about five minutes and has a driving range of about 500 kilometers on a full tank.

Zack Spencer, a Canadian automobile journalist, recently spent a week testing a similar fuel cell vehicle made by Hyundai. He told Xinhua at the auto show that the performance gap between fuel cell cars and regular autos is quickly closing.

"We're talking about very advanced technology [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/nike-air-max-97-og-gs-herre-sko-svart-norge.html]Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Herre Sko Svart Norge[/url] , as a fuel cell on board taking only hydrogen, converting it into electricity to power the vehicle and then emitting only water out of the tail pipe, but you drive it like a regular car," Spencer said.

Another major breakthrough has been driverless technology. Although parking assist, lane control and automatic breaking are already normal for many cars [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/herre-nike-air-max-97-og-gs-sko-summit-hvit-salg.html]Herre Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Sko Summit Hvit Salg[/url] , Mercedes is building and selling a series of luxury cars that can travel up to 30 kilometers an hour on autopilot by using radar and camera technology, or the driverless cars.

Spencer said there was no question it could be done. "Mercedes Benz has done beta testing in Germany, driving over 130 kilometers with a driver there to watch the car but not touch any of the controls. It could be done today. The problem we have is regulations are not going to move fast enough for this to happen."

Maybe car lovers will have to wait for another eight to 10 years to have driverless cars on Canadian roads, as predicted by Spencer.

"The progress never ends in the car industry, so from year to year [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/adidas-superstar-ii-hvit-svart-norge.html]Adidas Superstar II Hvit Svart Norge[/url] , there's a huge jump. And it's not going to stop," he added.

Losing weight is a craze that has been around for decades, and many over-the-counter remedies are sold for this purpose. If you have been looking for weight-loss products for some time, you know that many of them promise the moon. Many of these products assert to be the best in the marketplace, until they’re used by consumers. In this article [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/kjop-adidas-superstar-2-hvit-originals-sko.html]Kjøp Adidas Superstar 2 Hvit Originals Sko[/url] , we’ll be discussing some popular weight loss remedies and how to find the ones that really work.

Weight-loss supplements, such as Hoodia, have been presented as miracles in regard to weight-loss. If you would like to try Hoodia, you could get it in a form such as tea or swallow capsules. Consumed by the natives for centuries, Hoodia has been used for many decades in the African area. If you’re serious about losing weight [url=http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/adidas-superstar-2-rod-hvit-nettbutikk.html]http://www.yeezyv2norge.com/adidas-superstar-2-rod-hvit-nettbutikk....[/url] , you must control the amount that you eat, some.
