WELLINGTON Cheap Nike Air Presto Safari , June 8 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand Science and Innovation Minister Paul Goldsmith on Thursday announced an investment of 31.7 million NZ dollars (22.86 million U.S. dollars) to upgrade the country's supercomputing capabilities.

"The existing supercomputers are at the end of their operating lives and energy intensive by today's standards. The new supercomputers will deliver up to 10 times the computing capability and more than four times the storage capacity of their predecessors," Goldsmith said in a statement.

The computing research service is designed and provided by the New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI), a collaboration between NIWA, a science service provider, Landcare, and the Universities of Auckland and Otago, according to the statement.

"Computational needs of the science community are growing exponentially and from a range of key areas from natural hazards and climate science, through to computational chemistry Cheap Nike Air Presto QS , astronomy, and biomedical research," Goldsmith said.

"There are also a number of key government science initiatives that require computational support including the National Science Challenges, Centres of Research Excellence, and the genomics platform," he said.

New Zealand currently has two supercomputers available to the research community, Fitzroy, based at NIWA's Greta Point in Wellington Cheap Nike Air Presto Mid Utility , and Pan, based at the University of Auckland.

They will be superseded by three supercomputers, with replacements for Fitzroy and Pan at NIWA in Wellington, and a smaller back up computer for NIWA housed at the University of Auckland's Tamaki Data Centre, Goldsmith said.

"This new investment will significantly enhance New Zealand's ability to meet the growing demands of the scientific research community and help them to tackle some of the issues crucial to our country's future prosperity," he said, adding that installation for the new supercomputers begins in August and they are expected to be operational around February 2018.

NANCHANG, May 9 (Xinhua) -- For Rao Pingru and his late wife Mao Meitang, love is deeper than the ocean and lasts beyond death.

His graphic memoir Cheap Nike Air Presto high , titled ""Our Story,"" was first published by Guangxi Normal University Press in 2013, and has sold more than 200,000 copies.

In January, a French version was released and more than 26,000 copies have been published. During recent months, it was the top seller in the China category on the Amazon France website.

An English version is expected to be published soon.

Rao's granddaughter posted several pictures on Chinese microblogging service Weibo in 2012, which earned emotional comments and attracted publishers.

""Art is the best way to reach people. I just wanted record our story for our grandchildren, so they know more about their grandma,"" said Rao.

Another picture shows Rao, too shy to say ""I love you"", singing an English song ""Oh, Rosemary Cheap Nike Air Presto br , I love you"" to express his feelings to Mao on a date in the park.

As well as happy memories, the memoir also tells of bitter experiences.

""Every time I walk past the museum, I pause and look. I don't know which steps were made from the cement she carried, I wonder if her disease may have been caused by that experience,"" said Rao.

In 1992, Mao was diagnosed with diabetes and uremia. Rao stopped working to care for her.

The last picture shows the family's final visit to the hospital on March 19, 2008.

""I saw a tear in the corner of her right eye. In the afternoon www.cheapprestoshoes.com , She left me for good,"" Rao wrote in the caption under the picture.

""Death parted my wife and I. But by drawing our story, she will be with me forever,"" said Rao.
