BEIJING Trevor Booker Women's Jersey , Aug. 7 (Xinhuanet) -- An absence of power shortages during the summer peak this year alleviated the surging demand in residential usage, but also reflected weakening activity in faltering industrial sectors.


As the heat wave that engulfed the country persists, many areas have reported record levels for monthly power consumption in July.


In East China's Jiangsu province, where the mercury hit a 50-year high, power consumption in the past month grew 13 percent, making it the first province in the country to use more than 50 billion kilowatts of electricity in a single month.


Shanghai residents are seeing increases in their electricity bills because of more frequent use of air conditioning equipment. And due to the ladder power pricing system Timofey Mozgov Women's Jersey , which means they have to pay much more for excessive usage, some are even calling for government subsidies to ease their burden.


However, amid the complaints of residential users, the criticism of manufacturers, who would normally face power shortages at this time of the year, has not yet been heard.


"By this time in previous years Sean Kilpatrick Women's Jersey , we would have already received at least twice the notices for power supply rationing, but there are none yet," said Li Xia, an employee at a manufacturing company in Jiangxi province.


Factories usually had to give way to residents during the summer peak period of electricity demand, but such rationing measures were not yet necessary this year, an official at the Beijing division of State Grid Electric Power Co was quoted by The Beijing News as saying. Similar statements were also made by State Grid units in provinces including Anhui and Jiangxi.


However Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Women's Jersey , the generosity of power companies has brought more concern than a sense of relief for experts.


Power consumption was one of the three figures brought up by The Economist magazine as a more accurate indicator of the Chinese economy than GDP. The figure, together with railway freight volumes and bank loans, is known as the Li Keqiang Index.


Data from the China Electricity Council showed power consumption in the first half of the year grew 5.1 percent, 0.4 percentage point slower than a year before.


"Power supply and demand are balanced when the economy is on track, and power shortages were a result of an unexpected surge in power usage in cases such as exceptional heat waves," said Li Huiyong Nik Stauskas Women's Jersey , chief economist at Shenyin & Wanguo Securities.


"However, as residential power consumption surged during the heat wave, a still slower growth can be only attributed to declining industrial power usage," Li said.


Li ruled out the possibility that less power consumption in the industrial sector was due to the country's economic transformation and fewer high-energy consuming factories, arguing that there is not yet a notable change in the economic structure..


According to the China Electricity Council, the industrial sector saw a year-on-year growth in power usage of 4.9 percent in the first half. In comparison Julius Erving Women's Jersey , power usage by the service sector rose 9.3 percent year-on-year in the same period.


The figures were in line with the HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index, which stood at 47.7 in July, down from 48.2 in June. The 11-month low indicated further contraction of industrial activities amid excessive production capacity. In comparison, the Services Purchasing Managers' Index was at 51.3, signaling a modest increase in business activity in the sector.


"Power supply and demand will be in an overall balanced manner in the second half, while there will be an electricity surplus in the northeast and northwest Jeremy Lin Women's Jersey ," said a statement on the China Electricity Council's website.


Although the council said power consumption will bounce back during the summer months, Lin Boqiang, director of the China Center for Energy Economic Research at Xiamen University, said that power shortages as those seen in previous years are not expected.


Power consumption by the industrial sector accounted for 73.8 percent of the total volume. That proportion shrank slightly by 0.2 percentage point compared with that of the first half of 2012.

Five years after dismissing Loki as a “puny god” in The Avengers, the Hulk’s vocabulary is puny no more. Thor: Ragnarok finds the green Goliath speaking in complete sentences in between his usual grunts and roars. Not only that, but he utters those complete sentences in a new voice as well. While Lou Ferrigno — who played the Hulk in the classic ’70s TV series — lent his pipes to past Marvel a Jarrett Allen Women's Jersey , Mark Ruffalo reveals to Yahoo Entertainment that he’s the one intoning such deep thoughts as “Hulk like fire, Thor like water.”


“When Hulk is speaking, that’s me,” the actor says. “That’s me on the day, in my motion capture suit, and they’re capturing my voice.” (Watch our video interview above.)


Of course Jahlil Okafor Women's Jersey , Ruffalo does give his predecessor credit for inspiring his vocal performance. “That’s who I watched playing the Hulk growing up. It’s definitely a nod to you, Lou. You influenced that.” Ruffalo also confirms that he performed many of his alter ego’s fighting moves in the gladiator ring where the Hulk and Thor square off. “I tried to do it all, the stuff I’m physically capable of. I can’t jump through the air like [him]!” Speaking with Yahoo Entertainment in a separate interview, Ragnarok visual effects supervisor Jake Morrison says that the Hulk’s new voice impacted the way they approached the design for the character. “Hulk can talk now, and maybe he can talk because a bit of Banner has bled through. So if you go that way, you say Drazen Petrovic Women's Jersey , ‘Maybe he looks a little bit more like Ruffalo.'” Does this mean the world is ready for a hunky Hulk?
