BEIJING Cheap Robert Alford Jersey , Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- China's meteorological authority on Sunday renewed a blue alert, the lowest level in a four-tier warning system, for snowstorms in the north of the country.


Snowstorms will hit Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northern provinces of Shanxi and Hebei as well as Beijing and Tianjin municipalities on Sunday and Monday, with some areas expected to see snowfall of up to 12 millimeters, the National Meteorological Center said.


The center suggested affected areas take precautions as temperatures are expected to plunge.


In China's four-tier color-coded weather warning system, red represents the most severe weather Cheap Desmond Trufant Jersey , followed by orange, yellow and blue.


Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong would not have won -seven Tour de France titles without receiving favorable treatment from the International Cycling Union (UCI), the current head of the world -governing body said Monday.


A report by the Cycling -Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) published Monday said previous UCI management were more concerned about their own -image rather than tackling doping as the American rode his way to Tour de France glory from 1999 to 2005.


"The style of leadership is pretty much criticized in the report and led to major errors," Brian Cookson told reporters from the UCI headquarters in Aigle, Switzerland.


He noted that the UCI was "trying to control and limit rather than eliminate [the problem] completely and at the time they always put the image and the business of the sport -before integrity, transparency and honesty."


The then UCI management's shortcomings were first exposed in 2012 when the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) published their reasoned decision after banning Armstrong Cheap Mohamed Sanu Sr Jersey , who later admitted to cheating, for doping.


"UCI exempted Lance Armstrong from rules, failed to -target test him despite the suspicions, and publicly supported him against allegations of doping," the report said.


"The report confirms that, for more than a decade Cheap De'Vondre Campbell Jersey , UCI leaders treated riders and teams unequally, allowing some to be above the rules," USADA President Travis Tygart said in a statement.


It helped Armstrong cheat his way to Tour de France triumphs, according to Cookson.


"Clearly, a rider like Lance Armstrong, in 1999 Cheap Brian Poole Jersey , had a positive test for cortisone [during the Tour de France] and UCI assisted him in covering that up," said the Briton, who was elected in 2013.


After providing authorities with a backdated Therapeutical Use Exemption following a positive test for cortisone, Armstrong continued and won the race, which had been labeled the "Tour of Renewal" one year after the Festina doping scandal.


The UCI is now taking the problem "seriously while other sports are not taking it -seriously," Cookson added.


Cookson has a lot on his plate Cheap Grady Jarrett Jersey , however, as the CIRC report showed that doping, if less prevalent, is still endemic, with banned doctors still operating.


"These things are very difficult for a governing body [to fight against]," Cookson -admitted. "We'll work closer with governments."

They have been compared to some of the newest and most fun urban sports created Cheap Terrell McClain Jersey , both on water and on land. Not sure what we are talking about?

Well, let?s put it this way: have you ever seen somebody pass you by so fast on a skate you wondered if you imagined it? If your answer is yes then it has happened to you too. You have seen people on motorized skateboards. If you doubt something like that has ever crossed your path it is high time you get familiar with these products.

Motorized skateboards are the next evolutionary step in skateboard history. One day an old skateboarder probably got tired of using his feet as propellers in order to move about. So he added a small motor under his board which caused it to almost sit flat on the ground. He then added bigger tires which made the ride taller and safer. Last but not least he connected a pump or a steering device with the help of a long wire attached to the engine. This is how the motorized skateboards must have been born. Maybe someday everything will have a motor and run on its own.

In the meantime, motorized skateboards have also differentiated from electric skateboards which do not operate like mentioned above but come with a wireless controller instead that sends signals to a rechargeable battery attached to the engine. These move by means of electricity while motorized skateboards pump gas.

Motorized skateboards have come to vary a lot in shape, size, color or pattern and the speed limit they can reach is most commonly somewhere between 15 and 30 miles per hour. Apart from aesthetics and customization some may also have very visible missing or extra gadgets: two, three or four wheels of different sizes Cheap Logan Paulsen Jersey , including motorcycle wheels; a handle much like that of a scooter, brake lever.

Motorized skateboards can be separated into two large groups: the city boards and the all terrain boards. Of these the latter give the rider the possibility of exploring terrains such as sand, grass or metal and also move uphill, all of which were impossible with the regular skateboard. But compared to the electric ones, motorized skateboards have the advantage of a much longer run time since they can be refueled at any gas station while the former take around 3 4 hours to charge.
