 China's first manned deep-sea submersible completed a Pacific Ocean dive to 5,057 meters (16,591 feet), surpassing current U.S. capabilities and setting a milestone in a race to explore for potentially vast resources in the deepest parts of the world's oceans.

The Jiaolong set the Chinese record at 6:17 a.m. Beijing time Tuesday in the northeastern Pacific, between Hawaii and the North American mainland, according to a statement on the website of the State Oceanic Administration.

The three-person vessel carried out various tests, including landing on the seabed several times, and took photographs of sea creatures during the operation, which lasted almost six hours and was the second of four planned dives, according to the statement.

The dive means that the Jiaolong—named after a mythical Chinese sea dragon—is capable of reaching 70% of the ocean floor, the state-run Xinhua news agency said, adding that the vessel was expected to attempt a dive to 7,000 meters—the maximum it is designed to withstand—in 2012.

A Chinese manned submersible successfully reached a depth of 4,027 meters during a dive test conducted Thursday in the eastern Pacific Ocean, the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) said.

The five-hour-long test started at 3 a.m. Thursday morning, with the submersible Jiaolong carrying three people to a depth of 4,027 meters in an international area of the ocean.

CHR (China High-speed Railway) train D182 stopped on track as power outage 12nd July 2011.

Two weeks after its grand opening that showed off China's hopes for a bright hi-tech future, a flagship high-speed rail line between Beijing and Shanghai has already left passengers stranded for hours on stuffy trains due to power outages.

Travellers waiting for delayed trains also found that the gleaming new stations along the line lacked snack shops and comfortable waiting rooms. An attendant told one waiting passenger to walk to a nearby village to buy toilet paper.

The express was shut down by power failures three times in the two weeks since it opened to great fanfare on June 30. A power cut on Tuesday halted 30 trains.

Its launch was coordinated with the 90th anniversary of the ruling Communist Party and hailed as a sign of modernisation and willingness to invest in top-notch infrastructure.

So there's this brand new trend walking along side our obsession with the top wifi products [1], and it's the best way to keep their batteries completely full. With most of the brand new pads and tablets, iphones, and laptops the only common problem is the most hassle-free approach to have them recharged. I started out thinking what normally I would definitely do with some of these numerous tools and now I ponder what I'd do with out them. I even worry nighttime whether I have each one of them on their own proper electrical wires and charging up for the day ahead.

When the tech products initially hit the marketplace there were wires connected with the Universal serial bus plug-ins on the personal pc. This sounded like a relatively creative choice in my opinion originally. I was a lover of the ease with which one could clearly connect the gizmo in through the night while checking out e mail. Unluckily, like several things, this shortly became a trouble. How can I get my device with me at home if it must remain connected at the portable computer?
