Top NewsTyphoon Soudelor lands on SE China's coastal3 provinceTyphoon Soudelor has made landfall on southeast China's Fujian Province with strong gales4 and heavy rains.
Soudelor landed on the coastal city of Putian in Fujian Saturday night and is expected to storm through the province.
Gao Shuanzhu, chief forecaster from China Meteorological Administration, says the impact of Soudelor will be much longer and broader than the huge storm Chan-Hom, which hit the region last month.
"When typhoon Chan-Hom landed, it only covered part of the coastal area of Zhejiang Province. This time, typhoon Soudelor will impact and cover the whole of eastern China, which directly leads to a much longer torrential rain period in the region."Precipitation in the provincial5 capital Fuzhou reached historical high on Saturday, with much of the downtown waterlogged.
The province has evacuated6 more than 160-thousand people and 32-thousand fishing boats in a bid to minimize damage.
So far, flights to the provincial capital Fuzhou have been canceled, while nearly 100 trains running through Xiamen have suspended services.
Forecasts say heavy rains and strong gales are still expected through Sunday morning in the northern part of Fujian Province.
Before landing on Fujian, the super typhoon hit Taiwan Saturday early morning, leaving at least 6 people dead, 4 missing and over 100 injured.
Chinese Team Rescues Flood Victims in MyanmarAnchor:
A Chinese non-governmental rescue team is carrying out operations in Myanmar, sending 13 local flood victims to hospitals, as severe floods, triggered by heavy rainfall since June, have affected8 many areas of the country.
CRI's Wang Mengzhen has more.
Reporter:
The flood disaster in Myanmar has brought the death toll9 to 89 and affected hundreds of thousands of people across the country, prompting a state of emergency and calls for urgent relief efforts.
A Chinese non-governmental team, Blue Sky Rescue Team, has begun its operations in some townships of flood-hit regions in Myanmar, sending 13 victims including 11 children to the hospital.
The second batch10 of the 21-member BSR Team arrived in Yangon early on Saturday, along with rescue boats and relief aid, aiming to extend helping11 hands to local people.
"Members of the team come from around China. I will divide them into two groups. The team has brought 8 rescue boats, relief aid and medical staff. I can ensure each rescue group has at least one qualified13 medical staff member."As the largest non-governmental humanitarian14 organization in China, the Blue Sky Rescue Team is the first international rescue team to arrive in Myanmar.
The first batch of 10-member team arrived in the country earlier this week. Currently, the team has carried out the rescue operation in the Sagaing region, one of the worst-hit areas by flood.
"So far, the flood water in Sagaing has subsided15. But several villages and towns are still trapped by the flood. The most important thing is that the drinking water and food there are polluted; so local people have to drink dirty water. The health situation is cause for concern."On Thursday, Myanmar President U Thein Sein met with the first batch of BSR team and expressed his appreciation17 to China and the Chinese rescue team.
For the Chinese side, the central government has announced emergency relief aid worth millions of yuan to help Myanmar's flood victims.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar has called on Chinese enterprises in the country to provide aid to flood victims and coordinate18 efforts in the rescue operation.
It's been forecast that the severe flood has begun to move southwards and it is likely to expand and affect southern areas of Myanmar.

Drought eases in parts of north China, but worsens in other partsThe parched19 northern part of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous20 Region has received its first rain since the end of July, easing the drought situation.
The rainfall has reduced the drought-stricken area by 41-thousand square kilometers to 514-thousand square kilometers.
However, a remaining 43 percent of the Region is still in the grip of a prolonged dry spell, especially in the middle and western parts where high temperatures have aggravated21 the situation.
Meteorologists say the drought will reduce grazing grass output in this live-stock breeding region.
Zhang Cunhou is an official with the Inner Mongolia Ecological22 and Agricultural Meteorology Center.
"Inner Mongolia's northern pastoral areas have been in the grip of dry spell for more than two months. The areas do not have water for irrigation. And the ground water level was so low that it is of little help. The output of grazing grass is sure to be affected."El Nino has brought excess rainfall to China's southern and eastern areas in the summer months, while the northern region experienced severe drought.
Northeast China's Liaoning has seen high temperatures and dry conditions since the start of July, with rainfall at its lowest since records began in 1951.
The China Meteorological Administration has said that El Nino will continue to strengthen this year but will not escalate23 into a super El Nino.
Chinese Ambassador to Japan urges Japanese leader to face up to historyThe Chinese Ambassador to Japan has urged the Japanese prime minister to face up to history when making an upcoming statement to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has announced that the statement would be issued as a cabinet decision, which is often quoted as the official position of the Japanese government on the issue of its wartime aggression24 in the early 20th century.
Previously25 Abe planned to issue the statement on a personal basis on August 14.
It remains26 to be seen whether the so-called Abe Statement will admit the war waged by Japan was aggression or if it will include an apology to World War II victims.
The Chinese ambassador to Japan Cheng Yonghua says China, together with other countries invaded by Japan during the war, is very concerned regarding the content of the statement.
"Upon the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, the 'Abe Statement' is closely watched by international society, including China, as to what message it will convey on the war of aggression waged by Japanese militarism. Only by facing up to its history and showing a clear attitude toward its war responsibility can Japan face up to the future and open a new chapter in history."South Korea, whose peoples were also victims of wartime atrocities27 committed by Japan's military, has continually urged successive Japanese governments to face up to the nation's military past.
Ties between Japan and its Asian neighbors have been frayed28 by the efforts of some Japanese politicians to deny or whitewash29 Japan's wartime wrongdoings.
Australian minister recalls China's vital role in WWIIAnchor:
Australian Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull has reminded fellow Australians of China's vital role fighting against Japanese forces during World Word Two.
Our Australian correspondent Wang Xiao has more.
Reporter:
When addressing the Australia-China Business Week in Sydney this week, Mr. Turnbull said at the very beginning of his speech that it is important not to forget that in Australia's battle for survival against Japan their longest ally was China.
On February 19th, 1942, 242 Japanese aircraft bombed Darwin, Northern Australia.
They attacked ships in Darwin's harbour and struck the town's two airfields30 in an attempt to prevent the Allies from using them as bases.
The town was only lightly defended and the Japanese inflicted31 heavy losses upon the Allied32 forces at little cost to themselves.
The urban areas of Darwin also suffered severe damage from the raids and 243 civilians33 were killed.
The attacks were among almost 100 air raids against Australia in 1942 and '43.
The Minister said "in our darkest hour, when our foes34 were literally35 on our doorstep, when our cities were under direct military attack, then, at that tipping point in our history, China was our staunch, indefatigable36 ally."China had been invaded by Japan in 1937 and fought alone until Japan's attack on the US base at Pearl Harbor in 1941.
Mr. Turnbull said that without China's endurance and courage in the face of Japan, Australia's war history may have ended very differently indeed.
He said Australian people cannot imagine modern Australia without China's contribution to their people, culture, and prosperity.

Skeletons found in mass grave in northeast China show atrocities of Japanese invadersAnchor:
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II. During the war, the Japanese aggressors committed a series of crimes which go against the basic principles of international law.
In several northeast Chinese provinces, many mass graves were found and they serve as evidence of the Japanese atrocities and attempts to sack China's coal resources.
CRI's Xie Cheng has more.
Reporter:
During the Japanese occupation in the 1930s and 1940s, the Japanese troops coerced38 Chinese people into mining in coal-rich northeast parts of the country.
Many miners were killed in accidents due to absence of protective measures, intense labor39 or cruelties.
The "Dongshan" mass grave is located in Hegang city, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.
An interpreter from the Dongshan mass grave monument says it is difficult to find a skeleton that was complete.
"We only excavated40 part of the pit, which was about 10 meters long, eight meters wide and a little less than 3 meters deep. Many of the unearthed41 skeletons had broken spines42, while others had bullets gone through their skulls43. We even found seven skeletons that were connected by a barbed wire through their orbital bones."The whole pit is 40 meters long, 30 meters wide and seven meters high.
The 87-year-old Xu Yanzhang is a surviving miner who used to work in the Dongshan coal mine.
In 1942, the 14-year-old boy was thrust into the mine for hard labor.
Malnutrition44, endless toil45, plague and mining disasters meant Xu witnessed illness, despair and death every day. But the supervisors46, guard dogs and barbed wire made escape all but impossible.
Xu says workers who became too ill to work were abandoned. He had witnessed those who were still alive being thrown into mass graves.
"If you can't work, they would beat you heavily and throw you out at the end to the mass grave. At that time, I saw that some miners were too sick to get up from bed. They couldn't go to work. A Japanese came and saw these people still alive but couldn't do anything, so they dragged them out to the mass grave and left them there to suffer and await death."Li Shujuan is a contemporary historian who has studied several reports written by the Japanese army during their war of aggression and reconstructed the historical scenario47.
"Through the documents recorded by the Japanese side, we knew that the Japanese army shipped coal produced in Hegang to the Hegang station, and then the coal would be shipped to steel mills and ironworks in Japan through the Manchurian railways. We all know that steel mills and ironworks were used for the production of weapons. Japanese invaders37 were using coal produced by Chinese people in Hegang to produce weapons and used them to suppress the Chinese people's struggle against Japan's aggression."According to Hegang's coal research institute, from the September 18 Incident in 1931 to the time when Japan announced surrender in 1945, Japanese aggressors had plundered48 more than 1,300,000 tons of coal from Hegang.

Japan Nagasaki CathedralA Japanese artist has used projection50 mapping technology to show an animation51 on a reconstructed cathedral in Nagasaki on the eve of the 70th anniversary of the bombing.
The cathedral is only 500 meters away from the hypocentre of the atomic bomb the United States dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
Hiroshima, also bombed by a United States atomic bomb, has the famous Hiroshima Peace Memorial that has been preserved as the ruins of one of the buildings left standing52 after the attack.
Nagasaki artist Kazuyoshi Sakai, 30-years-old, said it was a shame his city didn't have something similar, so he made this projection to remind people of the devastation53.
"Hiroshima has the A-bomb Dome54 to symbolise the devastation caused by the atomic bomb but Nagasaki doesn't have one. So, we reproduced an A-bomb wreck55 to tell the young generation the horror of the nuclear bomb."One of the spectators, a Hiroshima resident travelling Nagasaki, was full of praise for the event.
"It's a brilliant idea. We all know how important the role of the Hiroshima A-bomb Dome is in telling what happened in the city. It's not a bad thing that Nagasaki doesn't have such a ruin but creating one in this way and giving people a chance to look back on the tragic56 event is truly a great idea."The U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945 killed 140,000 people, and was followed by the bombing of Nagasaki which killed about 40,000 instantly.
12 Dead in Mali Hostage SiegeAt least 12 people including four foreign UN contractors57 died in a hostage siege at a hotel in central Mali that ended early Saturday when government troops stormed the building.
Gunmen had burst into the hotel at around 7:00 am on Friday, according to the government. At least one of the attackers was said to be wearing a belt of explosives.
Malian forces cordoned58 off the area but their efforts to dislodge the attackers were complicated by the presence of hostages.
The hotel siege was the third attack in just a week in Mali, which is still struggling to restore stability despite a landmark59 peace deal agreed in June to end years of unrest and ethnic60 divisions.
"Neither the public nor the army is safe from these repeated attacks. They happen every day, we think the army is the solution but we are really afraid because our soldiers are being killed for reasons we don't even understand. Honestly, we, as citizens, we don't know how to sleep at night with all this going on."UN chief Ban Ki-moon condemned62 the attack, which comes as Mali is seeking to implement63 a June peace deal despite continuing unrest from militant64 groups and spreading jihadist attacks since the beginning of the year.
Father of a Palestinian toddler dies of woundsThe father of a Palestinian toddler killed in an arson65 attack on his home a week ago died on Saturday of wounds sustained in the fire.
Israeli attackers torched the home of Saad Dawabsheh in the West Bank village of Duma on July 31, killing66 his 18-month-old child and seriously injuring his wife and a second son.
The act has been described by Israel's prime minister as one of terrorism.
Hundreds of Palestinians rallied at Dawabsheh's funeral in Duma.
Taha Dawabsheh, a relative of the deceased father, condemned the crime.
"First, we condemn61 this ugly crime which happened for the first time in history, people were sleeping and the "bats of the night" came upon them to burn them. A toddler was killed a week ago and his father died today, and we hope his mother and brother Ahmed recover in hospital. We ask the community and all the free people of the world to help us and stand with us and our people and we ask for protection committees for our village against the settlers."The United Nations Special Coordinator67 for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, has called for the attackers to be brought swiftly to justice.
He said in a statement that political, community and religious leaders on all sides should work together and not allow extremists to escalate the situation.
Croatian Prime Minister speaks on IS kidnappingIn Egypt, police searches and diplomatic efforts have intensified68 to find 30-year-old Croatian man Tomislav Salopek who was kidnapped on 22 July by Islamic State forces.
Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said on Sunday that everything possible was being done to help secure the release of Tomislav Salopek, who was kidnapped by the Islamic State group in Cairo.
"This is a very difficult situation, and we should be wise about it. We should do everything possible, but discreetly70, and that is very hard."Residents in the city of Dakovo, close to the Salopek's home village of Vrpolje, said they felt for the family and were shocked this was happening to someone from their region.
The "IS" group issued a statement on Wednesday saying that it would kill Salopek in 48 hours if the Egyptian government did not release jailed "Muslim women" which is a reference to those detained in the government's crackdown on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood71 and other Islamists.
ICRC presidents visits Yemen amid ongoing72 conflictThe president of the International Committee of the Red Cross Peter Maurer has arrived to the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on for a two day visit to highlight the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the country.
Speaking to reporters upon arrival, Maurer stressed he wanted all parties to respect humanitarian principles.
"My organisation73 is also an organisation which has a mandate74 of the international community, of all states, to ensure that rules and principles are respected during warfare75. And therefore, this is also one of the issues which I would wish to discuss during my visit here in Yemen with all sides and all parties in that conflict. "The ICRC said more than 3,800 people have been killed since the Saudi-led coalition76 air strikes aimed at ousting77 the Shia Houthis began on March 26.
The ICRC has accused all sides of failing to adhere to the laws of war, resulting in added suffering to the population.
Norwegian ship with rescued migrants arrives in the port of Reggio CalabriaA Norwegian vessel78 carrying some 800 rescued migrants have arrived in the port of Reggio Calabria, southern Italy.
Earlier, migrants were transferred to the rescued ship "Siem Pilot" after being found off the coast of Libya on Thursday.
According to the Italian Coast Guard, most of the survivors79 are from Syria and Sub-Saharan countriesPrefect of Reggio Calabria Claudio Sammartino says his city welcomes the migrants with open arms.
"We are here to serve the country, saving human lives, women, men and children who are fleeing from dramatic and tragic situations. Reggio Calabria has been extending a big hug (to the migrants) for some time, a hug full of solidarity80, comprehension and welcome."The migrants, including 48 children and 94 women, will be sent to reception centers across Italy after initial health checks.
So far, Reggio Calabria has embraced nearly 12 thousand migrants this year.
The arrival comes just one day after some 200 people were feared to have drowned in another migrant boat off the Libyan coast.
Nearly ten thousands volunteers will be mobilized to help the enforcement of a blanket smoking ban in Beijing, which took effect on June 1.
Authorities in the city are encouraging more people to join the anti-smoking team to ease the shortage of law enforcement personnelCRI's Wang Wei reports.
Reporter:
Two months after Beijing introduced the new smoking ban local authorities describe the control efforts as satisfactory.
However, they are confronted with a shortage of personnel- there are more than 4 million smokers82 in the city, but only around 1,000 law enforcement personnel to police the anti-smoking ban.
Zhang Jianshu, head of Beijing Association on Tobacco Control says they are now recruiting volunteers to support the smoking ban.
Nearly ten thousands people have registered online.
"They are from all walks of life. We previously predicted that most of them will be retired83 people. The youngest one is only 14 years old, while the oldest 81."Zhang Jianshu adds the registration84 system is still open to the public. Those registered will receive training before they start working.
"We plan to set up a network to cover all the volunteers in different enterprises and institutions. Volunteers will not only file complaints but also handle them. We will forward complaints related to their own workplaces to them."Among the registered volunteers are some senior anti-smoking activists85.
A woman surnamed Liu is one of them.
"At first those smokers were unwilling86 to accept our persuasion87. But, later they would say thanks to us. The process, changing from rejection88 to acceptance, makes us feel warm. And so do they."Mei Hongguang, vice7 director of Beijing Patriotic89 Public Health Campaign Committee calls on more people to join the team to stop smokers from lighting90 up.
"We have 1.8 million enterprises and institutions in Beijing, and more than 4 million smokers. Based on those huge figures, a smoking ban in the city is an unprecedented91 job. Before June 1, many people doubted whether we could make it or not. Now, two months have passed, everybody has seen the progress."The committee is now soliciting92 designs for an anti-smoking badge.
Volunteers will wear the newly-designed badges to identify themselves in the future.

Headline newsTyphoon Soudelor lands on SE China's coastal provinceTyphoon Soudelor has made landfall on southeast China's Fujian Province with strong gales and heavy rains.
Soudelor landed on the coastal city of Putian in Fujian Saturday night and is expected to storm through the province.
Precipitation in the provincial capital Fuzhou reached historical high on Saturday, with much of the downtown waterlogged.
The province has evacuated more than 160-thousand people and 32-thousand fishing boats in a bid to minimize damage.
Forecasts say heavy rains and strong gales are still expected through Sunday morning in the northern part of Fujian Province.
Before landing on Fujian, the super typhoon hit Taiwan Saturday early morning, leaving at least 6 people dead, 4 missing and over 100 injured.
Chinese Team Rescues Flood Victims in MyanmarA Chinese non-governmental rescue team is carrying out operations in Myanmar's flood-hit regions.
The flood disaster in Myanmar has brought the death toll to 89 in the country.
China's Blue Sky Rescue Team has sent 13 victims including 11 children to hospitals.
The second batch of the 21-member team arrived in Yangon early on Saturday, carrying rescue boats and relief aid.
As the largest non-governmental humanitarian organization in China, the Blue Sky Rescue Team is the first international rescue team to arrive in Myanmar.
The first batch of 10-member team arrived in the country earlier this week. Currently, the team has carried out rescue operation in the Sagaing region, one of the worst-hit areas by flood.
Chinese teacher sentenced to life for rape96 of studentsA former kindergarten teacher has been handed a life sentence by a court in northwest China, after the man was found guilty of raping97 or molesting98 12 of his students.
Huang Zhenxin was sentenced by the Intermediate People's Court in northwestern city of Yinchuan.
Police say Huang sexually assaulted each of the 12 girls after telling them he would tutor them on their homework.
The kindergarten has offered compensation to each of the victims.
Drought causes Panama Canal to reduce cargo99 sizeThe Panama Canal will temporarily limit the cargo size of ships using the waterway due to a drought caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon.
Maximum ship draft will be cut to 11.89 meters from September 8, affecting 18.5 percent of vessels100 that normally transit101 the link between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
The canal authority says further restrictions103 could be imposed on September 16 if weather conditions do not change.
The canal's locks can usually accommodate ships with a draft of up to 12 meters.
Sci&TechAnchor:
A comprehensive network is to be set up to boost pollution monitoring here in China.
China has started assembling the world's largest radio telescope.
And a US company has built an environmentally friendly super car using 3D printed parts.
Here's CRI's Wen Jie.
Reporter:
China's environmental protection ministry105 has announced plans to develop a comprehensive network, including satellites, drones, and remote sensors106, to detect pollution.
The system, monitoring the country's land, sea, and air, is to be in place by 2020.
Satellites and drones have already been used in monitoring pollution here in China, but only in a limited role so far.
Vice Minister Zhai Qing said in March the ministry is seeking more advanced technical methods to take care of environmental problems.
"For the next step, we will further seek help from high-tech107 equipment to discover illegal pollution discharge. Last year, we tried to use drones to detect illegal behavior. The drones can stay in the sky for two hours and cover dozens of Square Kilometers. We've tried it in Hebei Province recently and we are planning to use it in major cities and areas around the country."The ministry says it will boost the use of these tools by also accelerating research on satellites with higher resolution.
400 million dollars has already been invested to build the system.
Northeast China's Jilin Province plans to send Jilin-1, the country's first self-developed remote sensing satellite for commercial use, into space in October.
According to a scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jilin-1 consists of four satellites: one for high-definition images, one for testing new space technology, and two for video.
The satellites differ from the previous dual-use satellites.
They will focus on providing photographs to commercial clients, while helping with harvest assessment108, geological disaster prevention, and resource surveys.
Jilin, one of the country's oldest industrial bases, is developing its satellite industry as a new economic driver.
The province plans to launch 60 satellites by 2020 and 137 by 2030.
China has started assembling the world's largest radio telescope as it looks to improve its ability to explore outer space.
The 500-meter Aperture109 Spherical110 Radio Telescope, or FAST, rests in a bowl-shaped valley in the southwestern province of Guizhou.
The telescope will have a dish the size of 30 soccer fields when it is completed.
The new telescope is expected to greatly enhance China's ability to search for life in outer space and to explore the origins of the universe.
Li Di is a scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"It can explore deeper into space and look at asteroids111 and even Mars. Once completed, the task will be China's first internationally renowned112 equipment within a certain wave band. It will give China an opportunity frontier research."Technicians have begun attaching 4,450 triangular-shaped panels to the telescope's reflector.
Construction on the telescope began in March 2011 and is scheduled to be completed next month.
A California company in the US has built an environmentally friendly super car using 3D printed parts. Kevin Czinger is the founder113 and CEO of Divergent Microfactories, the maker114 of that supercar - which is called "The Blade.""By looking at 3D printing not for that overall structure but to create individual modular structures that can be combined, that 3D printing transforms everything."Currently, cars are pieced together on long assembly lines inside large factories that use massive amounts of energy.
Czinger says even the most fuel efficient car has a large carbon footprint before ever leaving the plant.
"By constructing a car this way it has less than one third of the environmental and health impact than the 85 hours all electric car for example has."By using carbon fiber115 instead of steel or aluminum116 for the body, the entire vehicle weighs only 635 kilograms.
The Blade is fitted with a 700 horse power engine that runs on natural gas, reducing its carbon footprint even further.
The team believes their new 3D printing method for car manufacturing will soon have a huge impact on how the cars of the future are built. A Japanese company has unveiled a miniature personal transporter that can fit in a backpack, called "WalkCar," powered by a lithium battery.
The slender WalkCar is made from aluminum and weighs between two and three kilograms, depending on whether it is an indoor or outdoor version.
However, the lightweight aluminum board is stronger than it looks, and can take loads of up to 120 kilograms.
It reaches top speeds of 10 kilometres per hour. Once the rider stands on it the WalkCar starts automatically, while simply stepping off stops the vehicle. To change direction, the user just shifts their weight. Engineer Kuniako Saito said his studies in electric car motor control systems sparked the idea for the new kind of ride.
"I thought, "what if we could just carry our transportation in our bags, wouldn't that mean we'd always have our transportation with us to ride on?" and my friend asked me to make one, since I was doing my masters in engineering specifically on electric car motor control systems."WalkCars can be reserved online starting from autumn this year with a price of 100-thousand Japanese Yen117 or about 800 US dollars.
American researchers have developed a device that could deliver drugs to specific areas of the brain via remote control.
And, it's soft like the brain tissue into which it's placed. This neural119 probe administers drugs to the brain by using infrared120 technology, much like a TV remote control.
Co-developer Dr. Michael Brucha said the probe caused much less inflammation than the metal tubes through which drugs to the brain flow now.
"You can imagine very discreet69 localization of drugs to a particular part of the brain and that has huge implications long-term because that eliminates a lot of these side effects."According to researchers, this approach can be used to treat human brain disorders121 like Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
A latest research shows that a third of all online access in the UK is via smartphones, up from 23 percent in 2014.
The rise in mobile web surfing has been partly driven by the expansion of high-speed 4G data networks and the growing popularity of streaming video.
Jane Rumber is the head of communications industry watchdog, Ofcom.
"One of the most striking findings in our report this year is that smartphones are now the UK's most important device for getting online, overtaking laptops for the first time."On average, adult mobile users spent nearly two hours online each day using a smartphone in March 2015 , compared to just over an hour on laptops and PCs.
The research also found that the popularity of selfies has risen sharply, with 1.2 billion taken in 2014.
Despite the sharp increase in the use of electronic devices, the research shows that adults in the UK are still posting six letters, cards, or parcels in an average month, only a slight dip from 2013 levels.
And that brings us to the end of this edition of our weekly science and technology report.

SportsFootball: China Women's Coach Hao Wei Steps Down After Last-Place East Asian Cup FinishKicking things off with football news from China:
Chinese women's football team head coach, Hao Wei, is stepping down from the position after the Steel Roses finished last at the Women's East Asian Cup, following their 2-0 loss to Japan last night.
Prior to their clash, each team was on a two-game losing streak122, while China ranked third in the four-team tournament on goal difference. A draw would have guaranteed China the bronze medals.
However, it was Japan that came out on top; late goals at the 88th minute and during stoppage time got the Japanese ladies the third-place finish.
Hao Wei says he is stepping down because he has lacked the "ability" to be able to lead the Steel Roses to consistent victories.
After leading China into the last 8 of the World Cup in Canada, Hao was rumored123 to be heading toward a coaching position with Chinese Super League heavies Guangzhou Evergrande. However, this has not been confirmed.
North Korea topped the tournament for their second-straight East Asian Cup championship after they beat rivals South Korea 2-0.

Juventus will next open their Serie A season at home against Udinese next Sunday, while Lazio host Bologna the day before.
New English Premiere League Season Kicks OffIn football action from the new English Premiere League season, which kicked off on Saturday.
Manchester United got a 1-0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur in the season's opener.
Man U coach, Louis van Gaal, says there was a lot of pressure to win this game, after his side's dismal126 start last season:
"I lay too much pressure on this match. But then when you see the match you see two high level teams who are pressing high up and very good. And both teams could not cope with the pressure - neither Tottenham Hotspur neither Manchester United. On that we have to improve but out of our pressure we kept the ball and in the transition we make the goal."Last season EPL champs weren't as lucky. Chelsea were held at a 2-2 draw by Swansea.
"Yeah, I thought for ninety minutes we were excellent. I thought we really competed. I set the team up to be offensive today and try and showcase our talent and I think we did that for ninety minutes."In other EPL action:
