KABUL Cheap Air Jordan 6 Retro GS Lakers Black White 384665-002 , Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- At least one civilian was wounded after a bomb attack targeted a NATO-led forces' convoy in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Monday, sources said.
"An improvised explosive device attached to a bicycle was detonated when the military vehicles were passing by Qabil Bay, an area along Pule-e-Charkhi road in eastern Kabul, injuring one bystander," a security official told Xinhua anonymously.
No member of the convoy was hurt in the explosion which occurred at around 9:00 a.m. local time (0430 GMT) Cheap Mens Air Jordan 6 Retro Black Cat Black White 384664-020 , the source noted.
Unofficial source said one foreign soldier was also wounded in the blast.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet, but Taliban insurgents routinely claim responsibility for such attacks.
The Taliban has intensified attacks with a string of bombings over the past couple of months as the NATO and U.S. forces are withdrawing from the country. The war-torn country is due to take over the responsibility for its own security from NATO-led troops by the end of year.
On Sunday night, more than 45 civilians were killed and 60 others wounded after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a sport ground in eastern Paktika province.
More than 1,560 civilians were killed and nearly 3,290 others wounded in conflicts and Taliban-led attacks in the first six months of 2014 Cheap Men's Air Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade NRG G8RD Like Mike Pine Green Orange , according to a UN mission in the country.
In another development, eight militants were killed and three others wounded after security forces repelled a Taliban attack on security checkpoints in Musa Qala district of southern Helmand province on Sunday night, provincial police spokesman Farid Ahmad Obid told Xinhua.
More than 34,000 NATO-led coalition troops, down from the peak of 130 Cheap Air Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade Like Mike Summit White Black Team Orange For Sale ,000 in 2010, are stationed in Afghanistan. Nearly 24,000 of them are Americans and the United States plans to trim its forces to less than 10,000 next year.
SINGAPORE， Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Giant pandas Kai Kai and Jia Jia celebrated their birthday with honey-flavored ice cakes at Singapore's River Safari on Wednesday， which marks the fourth anniversary of their arrival.
Keepers at River Safari threw a birthday bash for the giant pandas with honey-flavored ice cakes decorated with apple and carrot slices， some of their favorite treats.
Male Kai Kai celebrated his ninth birthday on Wednesday， while female Jia Jia turned eight on Sept. 3. Their ice cakes weighed a collective seven kg， and took keepers four days to make.
Both giant pandas arrived in Singapore in 2012 on a 10-year loan from China. Kai Kai and Jia Jia entered their second mating season in April earlier this year， but both natural mating and artificial insemination had been unsuccessful.
From weeks of displaying pseudo-pregnancy behavior， female panda Jia Jia is gradually returning to a quiet life of normalcy.
Keepers and vet remain optimistic for a future Singapore panda cub as Jia Jia is still very young， and will continue to employ conservation breeding techniques proven to be successful before in other zoos.
Facebook Inc tied up with nine news publishers to launch "Instant Articles" that will let them publish articles directly to the social network's mobile news feeds.
Instant Articles will let stories load more than 10 times faster than standard mobile web articles and will include content from publishers such as the New York Times, BuzzFeed and National Geographic Air Jordans 3 For Sale , Facebook said in a blog post on its website.
"Instant Articles lets them deliver fast, interactive articles while maintaining control of their content and business models," said Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox.
The news publishers can either sell and embed advertisements in the articles and keep all of the revenue, or allow Facebook to sell ads.
The Internet social networking company will also let the news companies track data and traffic through comScore and other analytics tools.
The other launch partners for Instant Articles are NBC, The Atlantic Air Jordans 18 For Sale , The Guardian, BBC News, Spiegel and Bild, Facebook said.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- By developing a way to better study a large protein essential for hearing and finding a truncated version of it Air Jordans 14 For Sale , researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have taken a step toward gene therapy for deaf patients.
While mutations in the protein, known as otoferlin, are linked to severe congenital hearing loss, a common type of deafness in which patients can hear almost nothing, the research suggests that otoferlin Air Jordans 13 For Sale , which is in the cochlea of the inner ear, acts as a calcium-sensitive linker protein.
Published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS, the study also shows that a mutation in otoferlin weakens the binding between the protein and a calcium synapse in the ear, and deficiencies in that interaction might be at the root of hearing loss related to otoferlin Air Jordans 12 For Sale , which is difficult to study due to the size of its molecule.
As they try to explore how otoferlin works differently than another neuronal calcium sensor in the brain, synaptotagmin, the researchers in OSU's College of Science developed a single-molecule colocalization binding titration assay for quantitatively probing otoferlin.
"Otoferlin seems only to have one purpose and that is to encode sound in the sensory hair cells in the inner ear," corresponding author Colin Johnson, associate professor of biochemistry and biophysics Air Jordans 11 For Sale , explained in a news release from OSU Monday. "And small mutations in otoferlin render people profoundly deaf."
The work by Johnson and his collaborators provides a molecular-level explanation for the observation that otoferlin and synaptotagmin don't have the same functional role. Performed using recombinant protein from cell lysate isolated in vitro, it also validates a methodology for characterizing large, mu. |
