Ethiopia - Dashen named top Ethiopian bank
Dashen Bank, which pocketed a quarter billion birr net profit, has now been named best bank of Ethiopia by the Banker, a London based institution. The Bankers listed Dashen at the top segment in Ethiopia's banking sector. They ranked 54 African banks from the same industry.
Dashen became the first private bank to record a net profit of 250 million birr in 2008/9 fiscal year, according to a financial report released in October, 2009.
"The Bankers positioned our bank as first in Ethiopia's banking industry after it examined our deposit mobilization and capital," Lulseged Teferi president of the bank briefed journalists on Wednesday, December 9, 2009.
The bank has mobilized 1.7 billion birr during the 2008/9 year that raised the bank's deposit to 7.9 billion birr.

Market Power, Resource Extraction and Pollution: Some Paradoxes and a Unified ViewLuca LambertiniUniversity of Bologna - Department of Economics George LeitmannUniversity of California, Berkeley - College of Engineering November 29, 2011 Quaderni DSE Working Paper No. 798 Abstract: We adopt a stepwise approach to the analysis of a dynamic oligopoly game in which production makes use of a natural resource and pollutes the environment, starting with simple models where
firms' output is not a function of the natural resource to end up with a full-fledged model in which (i) the resource is explicitly considered as an input of production and (ii) the natural resource and pollution interact via the respective state equations. This allows us to show that the relationship between the welfare properties of the economic system and the intensity of competition is sensitive to the degree of accuracy with which the model is constructed.

Google is offering full refunds to buyers of the Virus Shield app which briefly topped the Android charts last week – but turned out to offer no protection whatsoever.
Armed with an impressive-looking shield logo, security app Virus Shield shot to the top of the sales charts on Android last week. There was one, tiny, problem: the app was a fake.

About Front Lights
Cycle light technology has moved on greatly over the years, traditional 'bulb' lights have been more or less replaced by LED and HID systems. Battery, lens and reflector technology has been improved greatly resulting in brighter and longer run times. Wiggle lists a large selection of bicycle lights suitable for lit streets in the city, or unlit country lanes and even bike lights suitable for off road riding, ranging from around £8 to over £300 they vary greatly in purpose and performance. Tiny LED's with flashing or constant modes are great for being seen in built up areas, whilst rechargeable systems can keep the road or off-road trails lit up for non-stop riding at night.
All electrical goods sold on wiggle that come with a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.
In order to cycle on the road it may be a legal requirement in your country to use a light certified to a specific standard or an international equivalent. Most but not all lights sold on Wiggle are certified and labelled with a European CEN standard. Please check your country's requirements to see if this is sufficient and if necessary contact the manufacturer to see if this light has been additionally certified for your country. Strangely some of the very best lights are not legal on their own and should be used with an additional legal backup light.

Also fits oval TT bars
I've also got oversize handle bars and use these lights, they are a very good fit, if you have angled bars then you might want to think about getting lights you can change the angle on, if you are using them as a main light rather than flashers in traffic.
Hope this helps.
The chord that attached them is very elastic.
It depends if you want it for visibility or to make yourself more visible to other.
Cateye SL-LD100
Cateye TL-SL100
LifeLine Mini Light Set
would all do the job of making you more visible to others
great value from this site.
I use a Petzl Tactikka head torch on my 'lid' secured with a cable tie to stop it slipping upwards, the head is then adjustable to get the angle forward. (and if your rear light fails you can spin it round for red too) This has been dropped, trodden on, 'dunked' soaked and other stuff and it still works!
Personally I wouldn't as you'd either damage your helmet or the Knog in the process. An alternative would be to get a couple of the Knog Frogs as they're smaller and would be easier to loop into a helmet. Another alternative would be the Cateye SL110 Loop. Again smaller and easier to loop through a helmet.
Or you could go for a dedicated helmet light or head torch? Probably pricier, but purpose built.
If fork no larger than handle bar should be ok
It sticks like glue to most things via stretchy silicone strap
I have mine around brake / gear cables
Don't think so, it's best suited to bars between 25-40mm diameter.
The chord that wrap round the fork is a elastic silicone material. SO they'll fit around pretty much any shape. Have a look here for a picture of the unit:
This should give you an idea of where you can locate them:

The $2 billion "Fail Whale" trade has morphed into a $3 billion loss – and counting. The trade is still being unwound, so we aren't yet sure about the final losses. What we do know more today is about the massive size of the trade.

Sen. Merkley Speaks Out on the Volcker Rule and the Fail Whale Trade |
By: David Dayen Tuesday May 15, 2012 4:22 pm |
In addition to asking Jeff Merkley about filibuster reform, I sought his reaction to the Fail Whale trades that have racked up massive losses at JPMorgan Chase. Merkley, along with Carl Levin, authored the Volcker rule, the ban on most types of proprietary trading, that made its way into the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill. There has been a lot of slippage on the rules, however, once they left Congress and made their way through the regulatory gauntlet.
Three Executives at JPMorgan Chase Slated to Resign After Fail Whale Trades |

Three JPMorgan Chase executives will take the fall for the "Fail Whale" trades that have so far cost the firm $2 billion. But Bruno Iskil, the actual London Whale, so far still has a job, for some reason, as does Jamie Dimon, the CEO who has been on an apology tour for his lack of awareness of the trading losses.

It was only a matter of time before Goldman Sachs would start to smear their former employee, Greg Smith, who published his resignation letter in a celebrated op-ed in the New York Times. At first they merely denied the change in culture that Smith stressed, one from nurturing a relationship with their clients to field-stripping their clients for as much money as they could get. But now they're bringing out the big guns.

(SPOILER ALERT). There is more than one santa to do the work of delivering Christmas presents.
In fact, 152 Santas descended on St Clair Beach for the second annual Great KidsCan Santa Run last night.
And it became a race against the incoming tide, as waves crashed against the Esplanade sea wall, on Dunedin's coast.
''I think we got the window just right. But, we had the St Clair Surf Club there, if any Santas got into trouble,'' organiser Brighton Sea Scouts leader Sarah Redfearn said last night.
''It's just something silly and a fun way to support KidsCan. We're really pleased with the turnout. Who wouldn't want to support kids by running along St Clair Beach in a Santa suit?''
The assembled Santas warmed up for the event with a mass Zumba dance routine, which produced plenty of ''Ho, ho, ho''s from the spectators.
Santa runs were simultaneously held around New Zealand yesterday.
''That was a really great response from Dunedin and we're delighted,'' national event director Shaun Collins said last night.
''All the money raised will be used locally by KidsCan to help kids in poverty, with things like school food, shoes and jackets.''

Given, McLeish, Delph and McNaught react to Fulham draw on AVTV
Villa had several chances during an end-to-end encounter and ultimately went home with a very impressive draw. Alex McLeish, Shay Given, Fabian Delph and summariser Ken McNaught all faced the camera on the final whistle. Click here to watch all the interviews. McLeish was happy with the point and impressed with his team's industry and endeavour, especially in a very lively first half. He was delighted with the back five, who produced an emphatic display in keeping out Martin Jol's men. Given was proud to make his debut for the claret and blues and thrilled with the shut-out on the opening weekend of the season. Despite having a cracking game himself, the shot-stopper extraordinaire instead concentrated on the might of the lads in front of him - Richard Dunne, James Collins, Luke Young and Stephen Warnock. Fabian Delph, speaking in an AVTV exclusive, chatted about the boost he had received on seeing his name on the starting sheet. He said he hoped to make a big impression for Villa this term, after previous campaigns hampered by injury. Legend McNaught, meanwhile, picked out Given and Delph for special praise after both men produced impressive performances during the 90 minutes at Craven Cottage.

3 stars. because its a 5 star product with a 1 star color accuracy. Let me explain it to you. So this was a great product per se, but I ordered white and the carpet is not white. I'm a man, so for me white is white. If I say I want white, give me white. The design in my room is black, red, and white. I put this carpet on my floor and it looked dirty. Not to say that it is dirty, but to make a point that it is NOT WHITE. The females in the house were talking about it being bone white or even ivory. I don't know what the hell those colors are but it is not white. Compared to the decor in my room, this was clearly not white. Other than that, its a great carpet. Feels great.
Do not order if you are looking for a WHITE rug...cream, sure - it's a great, soft rug.
While a lot of the reviews are about the color of the rug being cream not white that is the least of the negatives that stand out to me about the rug. First of all its a high maintenance shag rug, and the weave is loose. If you shake it out and don't EVER walk on it, it looks great and will continue to look great with a periodic shaking out. But if you walk on the rug at all, the loose strands will get marled and kind of knotty.Besides that you cannot vacuumed it with a rotary brush vacuume and you have to hand pick any lint or specs of whatever falls into it because as I said, the weave is loose at the base of the weave. We live in a no shoes policy house and this rug was placed at the foot of my bed under a settee.It did not see much traffic and the first 3 months I really liked it. But it ended up looking terrible and full of stuff you can't vacuumed out of it. I don't have time to be constantly hand picking it clean and unless you plan on personally hand shampooing it and drying it outside in the sun, don't bother. Because for the price of having it professionally cleaned I can buy another rug. Actually for the price this is a throwaway rug when youre done with it. And I was glad to be done with it within 6 months.
I purchased it for in front of the fireplace and it is a definite asset to the family room. It is a very good rug for price, that said, the weave is not as close as I would have preferred if I would have been able to physical inspect it--none the less, for my purpose, it is more than adequate. The color is "white" but not a true white, if that makes sense. I have off white and ivory throughout this space and this rug fit well, if placed side by side it is whiter than my other accessories but I was looking for something slightly different--so it is perfect. The only negative I have is that like many items on Overstock, the photo does not accurately portray the item, in this case, the looser weave--but again, no one should inspect much more for the price. Overall this is an excellent purchase for the price, I would not recommend for high use areas.
I was looking for a cream white color round shag rug to match our crown molding. I was not quite sure when looking at the web description, but one review helped. I BET it would be a cream white instead of true white and gave it a try. I WAS RIGHT! It is a very soft cream white. Perfect for us! It had all the folding tracks when arrived, but not a problem after using it for two weeks! Wish it could be denser, but still work well at current condition.
The rug is not a true white but I knew that before ordering based in reviews. It is a milk white and very nice looking. We needed to cut it to fit around our fireplace hearth and it cut like a dream and even with the open edge there is no shedding. It takes muscle to vacuum but can be done with my Mila on the highest setting. The smell took a good month and a half to go away but just smelled like wet dirt to us. My sister in law bought a very comparable rug at a local furniture store and paid over double on it with a huge sale and hers is no better quality.
We have been using these next to a bed for the last 6 months and they still look like new. They don't shed and I have been very impressed by the quality for the price. I would definitely recommend using with a rug pad, however.
This is a durable rug, I vacuum it pretty much daily and it still looks good-As well it does not shed and really I've had no issues with it- I'm going to get another b/c it's a bit dingy only due to having a large slobbering dog and me being dumb and wearing me shoes on it- It's good enough that I'm buying another so that must say something-
I bought this rug for my grand daughter's room. She's only 2, so we needed a rug that was washable.It is very thick and an incredible value. This one fits the bill, and most important of all, my grand daughter loves it.
This rug was the perfect size and color for use in a guest bedroom. I'm not sure how it would hold up for every day use but it looks great, and is easy to clean and vacuum.

Title: | Late Modern Lancashire English in lexicographical context: representations of Lancashire speech and the English Dialect Dictionary |

Linguistic Field: | Text/Corpus Linguistics |
Abstract: | The longstanding vernacular literary pedigree of the county of Lancashire has made it home to a large body of regional writings comparable only to those of the neighbouring Yorkshire. Both past and present scholarship have acknowledged this fact, arguing that the literary tradition of the dialect may be taken as a source to get some insight into the linguistic history of the county. Research so far concentrated on the linguistic mining of Lancashire literary texts has shown that they provide valuable guidance to approach the language of bygone times, especially in terms of phonology and morphology (see Brunner, 1920; Haworth, 1920, 1927; Whitehall, 1929; Shorrocks, 1988, 1992, 1999; Wagner, 1999; Ruano-García, 2007, 2010b). To my knowledge, there is however little research that has attempted to evaluate the lexicographic potential of these documents, and their contribution to Joseph Wright's English Dialect Dictionary (henceforth EDD), so as to further our understanding of lexical variation in regional Englishes of the Late Modern English period (LModE). |
