Germany won its fifth Olympic gold medal in men's 25m rapid fire pistol after 1936, 1992, 1996 and 2004, becoming the only team with five gold medals in this event in Olympic history.

On September 11 Authentic Kyle Rudolph Jersey , 2001, the United States of America witnessed the most devastating terrorist attack in the history of the world. However, this man-made calamity did not stop just with the shocking destruction of the World Trade Towers. Thousands of people mercilessly lost their lives and many others lost their hope, zest and reasons to live. But there was one more set of people who paid a huge price for helping out during this mishap. While the full extent of the health consequences related to WTC dust exposure is still unknown, a large number of such people Authentic Linval Joseph Jersey , exposed to the 911 toxins, have developed serious and fatal health conditions and Mr. James Zadroga was one of them.
James Zadroga, an officer of the New York City Police Department (NYPD), died of a respiratory disease in 2006, that had been an unfortunate consequence of his participation in rescue and recovery operations of the World Trade Center attack. James Zadroga was the first New York City Police Department officer whose death was a result of his contact with toxic chemicals at the attack site.
Like James Zadroga Authentic Harrison Smith Jersey , several firefighter, police officer, emergency service worker, volunteer, construction worker Authentic Kirk Cousins Jersey , clean up worker, federal or city employees, were detected with serious health conditions such as Upper or Lower Airway Disease, Acid Reflux Disease, Obstructive Airway Diseases such as chronic bronchitis Authentic Adam Thielen Jersey , emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); or Obstructive Lung Defects such as Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS), occupational asthma (WTC Cough), Sarcoidosis, Asbestosis and Mesothelioma Cancer.
While their act was heroic, the consequences were tragic. Thus Authentic Stefon Diggs Jersey , honoring the effort of these brave hearts, in January 2011, President Obama of the United States of America , signed the James Zadroga 911 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (H.R. 847), called the Zadroga Act Authentic Jalyn Holmes Jersey , into law.
This act, named respectfully after James Zadroga, was meant to expand death benefits to Ground Zero workers, who die from cancer or respiratory diseases, because of being exposed to toxics during the 911 recovery efforts. Also Authentic Brian O'Neill Jersey , under this act, all living people suffering from any 911 related health conditions, are eligible for health care. Benefits include both health monitoring as well as financial aid. Moreover, residents of the World Trade Center area, as well as students attending school and people employed in the area during the 911 terrorist attack Authentic Daniel Carlson Jersey , would also be provided under this program with proper health monitoring and medical care for any and all 911 related health conditions.
While the initiative is tremendous, one should keep in mind that the Zadroga Act requires the development of an information and outreach program, through which the public can be informed about the befits available under this program. Moreover, the success of this initiative also depends on some hygiene records, such as collection of physical and mental health data of the actual number of victims receiving medical care and the creation of a research program that can assess the health damages resulting from the WTC 911terrorist attacks.
James Zadroga 911 Health and Compensation Act has been instrumental in giving a ray of hope to the many unfortunate victims of WTC 911 terrorist attack.

BEIJING, July 4 (Xinhua) -- China is highly concerned with Indian trade remedy measures against Chinese steel products, the Ministry of Commerce said on Monday.
The Indian government has launched an anti-dumping investigation into color-coated steel sheets imported from China. It is the fifth such probe against China from India this year, the highest record among WTO members, according to a statement on the ministry's website.
Countries have realized that global steel industry is experiencing difficulties due to sluggish economic growth and weak demand, but abuse of trade remedy measures would not help resolve industrial overcapacity, but hamper normal trade, the statement said.
China and India have broad room for cooperation in the industry, the ministry said, adding that it is hoped that the two countries can seek common development through trade, investment and technological cooperation and properly handle trade frictions.
The ministry said it hoped the Indian government could conduct a fair and transparent investigation in line with WTO rules, and refrain from trade remedy measures. Enditem
