WASHINGTON Nike Air Max 97 Blue UK , Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Protests broke out this week in various universities across the United States as tensions boiled over in the wake of what students called racial insensitivity of university administrations.

After weeks of racially charged protests on campus, Tim Wolfe, University of Missouri system president, resigned on Monday after being besieged by student protestors who accused the university leadership of enabling racial tensions.

The protests lasted for weeks and came from almost the whole campus, including a hunger strike by a graduate student.

However Nike Air Max 97 Black UK , only after the news came out that at least 30 African-American football players said over the last weekend that they would not play till Wolfe step down did the protests turn from a local news into a national one.

Missouri protests broke out after the student government president of the university claimed that a group of people once shouted racial slurs at him. Meanwhile, members of a African-American student association also reported that a white student had shouted slurs at them.

In a confrontation between Wolfe and African-American students during a homecoming parade on Oct. 10, Wolfe reportedly refused to address the students, leading to criticism that the university leadership acted slowly in response to racial tensions on the University of Missouri's flagship Columbia campus, which has a high proportion of white students.

Also Nike Air Max 97 Grey UK , at Yale University, protests broke out earlier this month after African-American students complained about the administration's insensitivity with regards to racially offensive Halloween costumes.

At the University of California, Los Angeles in October, protestors marched on campus after some students wore blackface to a Kanye West-themed fraternity party.

Air pollution caused by coal-fired winter heating has slashed life expectancy in northern China by more than three years compared with the south, according to a new study Nike Air Max 97 OG UK , underlining the urgency of Beijing’s efforts to tackle smog.

Researchers with the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC) said average lifespans north of the Huai river, where China supplies mostly coal-fired winter heat, were 3.1 years lower than in the south, which is not covered by the state heating policy. EPIC’s study cites long-term smog exposure as a primary cause of the difference.

In a statement, EPIC said its study examined pollution and mortality data in 154 cities from 2004 to 2012 Nike Air Max 97 Metallic Gold UK , and found higher death rates were due entirely to increases in cardiorespiratory illnesses. EPIC didn’t give an absolute number for average life expectancy, but said its study was the first to focus on differences in air quality north and south of the Huai river.

“We know on highly polluted days more people die and more people are sick, but what this study helps to isolate are the consequences of long-run sustained exposure,” said Michael Greenstone, EPIC director and one of the report’s authors.

China is in the fourth year of a “war on pollution” designed to reverse the damage done by decades of untrammelled economic growth and allay concerns that hazardous smog and widespread water and soil contamination are causing hundreds of thousands of early deaths every year.

According to EPIC Nike Air Max 97 Silver Bullet UK , if China were to comply with World Health Organization air quality standards, its people could live 3.5 years longer on average.

EPIC said its study was able to isolate the impact of air pollution on health in northern China versus the south.

Every 10 micrograms per cubic meter of additional long-term exposure to smog particles cuts life expectancy by 0.6 years, the study found.

Average readings of PM2.5 pollution - breathable airborne particles of less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter - stood at 45 micrograms per cubic meter in China from January to July, with the northern Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region reaching 69 micrograms. The national standard is 35 micrograms.

Beijing has promised to impose tough industrial and traffic curbs this winter and is also in the process of shutting thousands of coal-fired boilers.

The government has acknowledged pollution is a health hazard but researchers have said more data was needed to understand its full effects, especially when it comes to the specific role it plays in diseases like lung cancer.

“We have enough evidence for the short-term effects of air pollution, but for long-term health http://www.airmax97uk.com/ , it is far from sufficient,” said Kan Haidong, professor at the School of Public Health at Fudan University in Shanghai, adding that the government has recently commissioned new studies. Kan wasn’t involved in the EPIC work but has worked on his own pollution studies.

“In the next five years, there is going to be more and more evidence linking air pollution with health in China Nike Air Max 97 UK Sale ,” he said.

According to statistics from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, 686 films were released in theaters in the Chinese mainland in 2015 Nike Air Max 97 UK , contributing to a box office revenue of more than 44 billion yuan ($6.74 billion).

Eighty one films earned more than 100 million yuan in China. Of these, 47 were domestic films.

However, financial success doesn't automatically mean a film is a good one. While earnings were high and there was a marked improvement in production quality overall, there were still many films that left audiences disappointed. Here the Global Times takes a look at some of the best and most disappointing films of 2015 to help readers figure out what 2015 films are worth catching up on and which are to be avoided.
