British triathletes (铁人三项运动员) Jess Learn month and Georgia Taylor-Brown were disqualified from an Olympics qualification race in Tokyo on August 9, 2019 because they crossed the finish line while holding hands. The pair had a huge lead on the rest of their competitors in the event, and surviving extreme temperatures during the race in the 2020 Olympics host city, they held hands as they finished. At first, Learn month was considered the champion and Taylor-Brown the second place, but they technically broke competition rules and were punished for it.
As the BBC explained, International Triathlon Union (ITU) competition rule 2. 11 states that "athletes who finish in an abnormal tie situation, where no effort to separate their finish times has been made, will be disqualified".
Looking at the video, they don' t appear to be purposefully attempting to tie, and since Learn month was the original winner, what does it matter? It looks like they' re both simply trying to support each other after finishing a race during which the temperature was so pretty high that the running section was cut from 10 kilometers to five. Safety during a heat wave has been a serious concern, as 57 people in Japan have died since late July, according to Reuters, because of the extreme temperatures.
An appeal against the result was refused, the BBC reported, so Bermuda' s Flora Duffy was declared the champion with Italy' s Alice Betto promoted to second and Britain' s Vicky Holland to third.
"What kind of rubbish are you?" This question might normally cause anger, but in Shanghai it has aroused complaints over the past week. On July 1st the city introduced strict rubbish -sorting regulations as a model for the country. Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and throw it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ask the nature of one' s rubbish, otherwise, they will face fines or worse.
Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9 million tonnes of garbage a year, more than London' s annual output and rises quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Individuals who fail to recycle could be fined up to 200 yuan (＄29). For repeat, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Some object to this. Peng Feng of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences warns that the use of the credit system is overkill, raising a risk that officials will abuse their power. But others say a tough campaign is necessary. "Slowly people will get used to it," says Li Changjun of Fudan University.
Many residents support recycling but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry or harmful, the distinctions among which can be confusing, though there are apps to help work it out. Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the requisite public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss (撕开) it by hand. Most upsetting are the short windows for throwing rubbish, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible.
Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern California' s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. " . . You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition. That' s important to make decisions. "
David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that"machines are not going to take the place of doctors. " "Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can' t recognize these patterns by itself. Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. Currently, researchers take a thin piece of tissue, put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells.
That process could take days or even longer. Scientists say AI can do something better than just count cells Trough machine learning it can recognize complex patterns or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick identification of cancer that is free of human mistakes. "All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time. . . We couldn' t have done this, we didn' t have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it' s all changed. "Agus adds that the process could be done "for almost no cost in the developing world. " He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.
The University of Southern California researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict AI will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.
