SUZHOU Devin Funchess Hat , China, April 26 (Xinhua) -- The world table tennis ruling body has been changing rules in order to make the game a greater spectacle, but inadvertently putting an early end to a few glorious careers including Liu Guoliang's.


The older 38mm (1.50 inch) balls were replaced by 40mm (1.57 inch) balls in October 2000. This increased the ball's air resistance and effectively slowed down the game.


By that time, players had begun increasing the thickness of the fast sponge layer on their paddles, which made the game excessively fast and difficult to watch on television.


A few months later the ITTF changed from a 21-point to an 11-point scoring system and the serve rotation was reduced from five points to two. This was intended to make games more fast-paced and exciting.


In 2002, the ITTF also changed the rules on service to prevent a player from hiding the ball during service to increase the average length of rallies and to reduce the server's advantage.


Liu Guoliang, now the Chinese national team head coach, had been struggling as a player since the 40mm ball was used and had to retire after his service advantage was taken away.


Gone with a great player, came a great coach, just like his mentor Cai Zhenhua.


Cai, now a Chinese vice sports minister, had to retire after his paddle covered by the same-color rubbers was banned in 1985.


The ongoing world championships uses a new plastic ball, a decision made by the ITTF in 2014.


The ITTF ruled that all international competitions will use the new ball, replacing the traditional celluloid material. The change was made in order that the ball be more visible to TV audiences and slow the pace of the game.


These changes combined have served to assure the future of table tennis into the modern era and make an exciting sport ever more dynamic and appealing.




HANOI, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- A proposal on increasing pension age recently raised by Vietnam's Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) has faced outcry in the country.


In the proposal, the pension age in Vietnam is said to hike to 60 from the current 55 for women, and to 62 from 60 for men.


The increase of pension age of laborers is "an inevitable trend" and carried out by many countries, Mai Tien Dung, minister of MoLISA, was quoted by local Tuoi Tre (Youth) online newspaper as saying Wednesday.


The existing retirement age in Vietnam has been fixed for a long time. Since then, many factors have changed including improved health and average lifespan of Vietnamese people, Dung argued.


The proposal drew great attention among local specialists and citizens. Contrary to the MoLISa's idea, most of them showed concerns over the possible adjustment.


Prof. Nguyen Dinh Cu, former head of Institute for Population and Social Studies said there are many issues that need well addressing on raising retirement age of Vietnamese workers.


"The elderly in Vietnam now is a generation that underwent war and harsh economic times. These factors have had big impact on their health," Cu said, citing a national survey on the elderly and saying that two thirds of the over-60-year-old people in the survey said their health conditions were weak and very weak.


In addition, in Vietnamese society and family model, the role of grandparents is of great importance. While their kids are at working age, the elderly, who have retired, will help them in taking care of grandchildren and houses, said Cu.


"As a result, from a population perspective, I do not support the proposal," said the professor.


Echoing Cu, Dr. Nguyen Hoai Nam from southern Ho Chi Minh City's Medicine and Pharmacy University, said the country should not compare the situation of developed countries to that of Vietnam.


"Currently, the rate of unemployment among Vietnamese youth remains high. If the old did not retire, how would the young find jobs?" Nam questioned.


According to the General Statistics Office, in the first nine months this year, as many as 40,000 more people were jobless, compared to that of 25,000 during the same period last year.


Meanwhile, the national unemployment rate at working age stood at 2.29 percent.


State employee Phan Thi Kim Lien, 53, told Xinhua that she is preparing to retire in the next two years.


"I want the current legal regulation on the issue to be maintained. Although I am in a stable health condition, sometimes I see my colleagues show signs of aging, feeling tired and want to rest. We have worked for 30-40 years now. It's time for us to rest and give chance for the young generation," said Lien.


Local citizens have made many comments on the issue, almost all of which disagreed with the proposal.


Reader called Nguyen Duy Chi said "The reason to increase pension age is not appropriate in any extent."


Earlier, the MoLISA said pension age is proposed to hike in order to avoid overspending of the social insurance fund and the aging population.


"The overspending of the insurance fund shows ill management of insurance agency," Chi added.


Holding similar cautious view, Tri Long An, another reader, wrote: "It is a policy that can have impact on lives of most workers and their families. However, the reason for it is not persuasive. There should be a national opinion poll on the issue," Tri suggested.

The significance of the SAT is no mystery to students who are eager to get into reputed colleges or universities. With quite an astounding number of colleges very strongly weighing a student's potential for achievement in further studies on the SAT scores, even more students (along with their guardians) are busy preparing for the SAT well in advance of the test day, and for easily understandable reasons too. Despite all the truths and myths that circulate about the difficulty of SAT, it is a test that can be aced if .
