SHANGHAI’S salvage authority is developing saturation diving technology to enable divers to work at a depth of 500 meters — deeper than ever before for Chinese divers.
Saturation diving technology enables human beings to withstand high water pressure to stay underwater for longer and at a deeper sea level.
The technology is crucial in China’s deep-sea exploration Donovan Smith Jersey , rescue operations and engineering construction at the bottom of the sea, said Jin Feng, the head of the diving division of Shanghai Salvage Company under the Ministry of Transport.
China’s current deepest saturation dive record is 300 meters. The United States and France are the global leaders in saturation diving technology whose divers can descend more than 500 meters. “The depth of saturation diving also symbolizes the national power of China,” Jin, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, told Shanghai Daily on the sidelines of the annual legislative session.
The city government has set up a research base on Hengsha Island at the mouth of Yangtze River, for the company to achieve the goal, Jin said.
His team has begun working on diving facilities, such as the diving bell, living chamber and escape vessel.
Researchers were carrying out experiments in the base, while the divers were being trained in maneuvers and various missions at sea, Jin said.
Shanghai Salvage now has about 2,000 staff, including 800 divers and other technicians. Its largest crane barge has a lifting capacity of 2,500 tons, and is mainly used for salvage, wreck removal, offshore projects and various underwater services. Divers needed to reach deeper depths to help with the crane’s operation, Jin said.
Since its establishment in the 1950s, the company said it had completed more than 2,000 salvage cases, over 1,000 wreck removal cases, saved some 20,000 lives and removed more than 20,000 tons of underwater oil pollution.
Previously, China’s deep-sea operations had to rely on foreign salvage companies.
China hired foreign divers to take part in its oilfield development in the South China Sea, Jin said.
Jin, in his role as a NPC deputy, has asked for more government support that includes financial assistance and incentives to the staff, many of whom later resigned due to the work involving long-time operational duties at sea and having to undergo intensive training and operations.
FRANKFURT, March 2 (Xinhua) -- KION Group, German leading supplier of intralogistics solutions, recorded annual profits of 527.2 million euros in 2016, with the year-on-year growth of nearly 10 percent.
The company released Thursday its result for the 2016 financial year, which hit new highs, with the yearly revenue growing by 9.6 percent to 5.3 billion euros as of last December.

Industrial trucks and services segment covering forklift trucks, warehouse equipment and related services, which plays key role in KION's business, recorded income of 5.2 billion euros in 2016, 3.1 percent higher than the previous year.
KION said its new truck orders rose by 7.5 percent last year, not only based on the sustained growth in western Europe, but also due to the positive trend in China.
With Chinese Weichai Power as big shareholder and partner, KION carries considerable weight in Chinese market.
KION's Chief Executive Officer Gordon Riske told Xinhua that the company would further focus on development and provision of electric forklift trucks in China, in order to meet tightening emissions standards, as well as on deepening collaboration with Chinese partners in field of e-Commerce.
With Weichai Power's support, KION has accomplished the acquisition of the Luxembourg-headquartered automation and supply chain optimization company Dematic last year. KION thus extended its product portfolio ranging from forklift trucks to fully automated material handling systems.
"Integration of Dematic is the key objective for 2017," Riske said.
When the manhood becomes tumescent, it may not be perfectly straight. Some curvature of the member is normal, but in some cases what occurs is really a bent member – a member in which the curvature is pretty severe. This may be due to a male organ health issue – specifically the condition called Peyronie’s disease – or it may simply be the way the member is formed. In either case, having partner sensual activity with a bent member may mean exploring sensual positions to find the one that works best for the couple in question.
Peyronie’s disease
Peyronie’s disease refers to a condition in which the curvature of the manhood is due to scar tissue or plaque build-up. It most often is associated with trauma – either repeated rough handling or one big injury – which creates the curvature. Sometimes other factors, such as vitamin E deficiency, may also be involved.
The curvature may be to the left or right, or up or down. In some cases, the act of becoming tumescent brings pain, as the skin is stretched too taut due to the severity of the bend.
Sensual positions
The bending often requires that a man try out various sensual positions to find the one that works best for him and his partner. The following are some of the more popular among men with a bent member.
