The Jewish Daily Forward: Will Upgrading West Bank College Boost Boycott Movement?
Israel's government was hoping to toss a bone to the right wing by upgrading a college in the West Bank settlement of Ariel to university status. It could just end up helping the movement to boycott Israel.
Will Upgrading West Bank College Boost Boycott Movement? Nathan Jeffay, The Jewish Daily Forward, October 27, 2012.
Jerusalem — A decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "strengthen higher education in the State of Israel," as he put it, may hand the international academic boycott lobby a gift on a silver platter, Israeli analysts say.
In September, Israel's Cabinet approved a controversial plan that will give the West Bank's Jewish settlements their first university. To the dismay of more than 1,000 academics who have signed a petition against the move, it will transform Ariel University Center, a college, into a fully credentialed university. Unless the high court accepts objections to the upgrade filed by all except one of Israel's universities, Ariel is expected to have university status by next September.
When Netanyahu announced the approval, he cast it as a decision of political as well as educational importance. "Ariel is an inseparable part of the State of Israel, and it will remain an inseparable part of the State of Israel in any future agreement, just like the other settlement blocs," he said.
The upgrade, along with Netanyahu's statenent, has dismayed some veteran activists against the academic boycott campaign, such as Bar-Ilan University political scientist Jonathan Rynhold. He told the Forward that he considers the
decision an "own goal" for Israel that "makes it seem like Israeli academia is politicized, which it isn't.
"You've basically given a victory to those who present Israel as an outcast society where the government is running academia."
The reaction of one of the key groups supporting the boycott seems to back this notion. Jewish Voices for Peace, a Jewish organization based in the United States and actively promoting Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, said it would stand behind any Israeli-based drive to boycott Ariel. In the past, the group has supported artists who refused to perform in Ariel's cultural center. "For us it is not so much a matter of whether it is a cultural or academic boycott, but of whether the effort targets the Occupied Territories specifically," said Rebecca Vilkomerson, JVP's executive director. "If it does, then it is something that we could support, as in this case." She added that Ariel University is "quite literally profiting from being a settlement enterprise."
The main concern of Israel advocates is that the Ariel upgrade will allow the boycott movement to recruit beyond its traditional pool of staunchly anti-Israel academics to include those who take issue with only the occupation. "It makes life for the BDS movement easier, and the reason is that it enables them to garner the support of those who are critical of Israeli policy," said Eran Shayshon, senior analyst at the Reut Institute, a think tank based in Tel Aviv.

Head Start
Champaign County Head Start/Early Head Start (CCHS) partners with a child care center and several family child care homes in the county to wrap Head Start/Early Head Start services around already existing child care. The fee for child care at a collaboration site is arranged with the particular independently-operated child care provider.
Teachers and family child care providers at these sites are not CCHS employees, but are required to follow Head Start/Early Head Start Performance Standards for all service areas. Parents are responsible for their child's transportation at these sites.
Family Child Care Collaborations
CCHS has partnerships with five family child care homes in Champaign County. CCHS Family Child Care Mentors work closely with providers to support curriculum, health, safety, nutrition, and family services.
The family child care partners are:
- Care Bear Corner in Champaign (Deloris Lee)
- Hall's Little Hands in St. Joseph (Melissa Hall)
- Kai Babies Champaign (Tara Jones)
- Kids N' Play Champaign (Carolyn Smith)
- Nancy's Day Care Champaign (Nancy Williams)
What is Family Child Care? Families enrolled for services in family child care receive:
- Independent, licensed family child care.
- Full-day, year-round programming.
- Head Start/Early Head Start curriculum for their child.
- Family support services to help set goals and gain access to community resources.
- Access to dental services through the SmileHealthy program for all members of the enrolled child's immediate family.
The Family Child Care program option benefits families who:
- meet Head Start/Early Head Start Federal income eligibility requirements.
- have a child ages 6 weeks through kindergarten entry age.
- work and/or attend school full-time.
- prefer a home-like child care environment for their child.
- might need a more flexible schedule than a center can offer.
Hand-in-Hand Child Care Center Collaboration
Champaign County Head Start/Early Head Start (CCHS) also collaborates with Hand-in-Hand Child Care Center in Tolono, Illinois. A CCHS Mentor works with the child care center classroom to support curriculum, health, safety, nutrition, and family services.
The child care center collaboration option benefits families who:
- meet Head Start/Early Head Start Federal income eligibility requirements.
- have a child age 3 through kindergarten entry age.
- work and/or attend school full-time.
Center for Women in Transition Collaboration
CCHS has a collaboration with the Center for Women in Transition to provide what is called combination programming for families with children 6 weeks through 2-years-old and pregnant women who live at the homeless shelter.
Families receiving combination programming receive two "home" visits a month and their child participates in classroom experiences twice a week. The home visits and classroom sessions take place at the Center for Women In Transition.
Families at the center receive the full array of Early Head Start services. The Center for Woman in Transition staff emphasize with mothers living there the importance of volunteering during their child's center time, participating in trainings, and participating in the Head Start Policy Council. CCHS is able to offer services to homeless families in accordance with the Federal initiative to prioritize enrollment of these families.
The collaborative efforts of the Center for Women in Transition and CCHS have enhanced the support for this group of children and families in our community.

WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. consumers increased spending modestly in January but cut back on major purchases that signal confidence in the economy. The decline in spending on goods suggests higher tax rates that kicked in on Jan. 1 may have made consumers more cautious.

Reviews for the Rock Xtreme 840SLI
Source: Gadgetspeak
Rock notebooks are built to order, so delivery time is normally around a week. Here I am looking at what would definitely be a top of the range unit, very powerful and rather expensive, it is all but £3000 and today that is not cheap.

We did an initial field test with Rock's new Xtreme X840SLI-X9100 desktop replacement laptop, using an 18 year-old female online gamer and a 30 year-old male Xbox 360 addict. We opened the lid, turned on the power and within seconds got the identical awed response that went something along the lines of, "Whoa, that is soooo cool!" There's no question that Rock's new hardcore gaming laptop will be heaven sent for serious gamers who want the latest and best from Nvidia's graphics arsenal, yet flashy lights don't make for responsive controls, despite the welcome macro buttons. The price tag is high, but you'll get a reaction (and probably arm strain) wherever you take it.

With gaming laptops there's often a fine line between portability and power, but Rock's Xtreme 840SLI-X9100 falls firmly into the latter camp. This behemoth is most definitely a 'desktop replacement' in the truest sense of the term, as with a starting weight of six kilos (plus another 1.2kg for the power brick) it has the distinct honour of being the heaviest gaming laptop to have graced our labs - not counting the multimedia-oriented HP Pavilion HDX9095EA. It's big in every way, but despite its excellent Full HD screen, some innovative features and stonking performance in games, there are enough niggles to hold Rock's Xtreme 840SLI-X9100 back from coming recommended.

The X9100 is the fastest dual-core of the Core 2 series and thanks to a free multiplicator can be overclocked easily. Later the expensive X9100 was substituted by the cheaper and more power saving T9900 (with a fixed multiplicator).» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
18.4": 18 inch display size is a rare and very big size for desktop-replacement laptops. Laptops with 18 inch displays did not exist before 2008. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
6 kg: This laptop is heavy. Especially desktop replacements with 19 inch display fit in this class of weight. This class is too heavy, even for 17 inch DTR.

Tribune file photo of Lighthouse Community Charter School by Ray Chavez
It might not come as a surprise that a new report by the California Charter Schools Association has found that Oakland's independently run, publicly financed charter schools are doing better than the city's traditional public schools.
The report does analyze state test scores in great depth, though, breaking down the results by grade-level, race and economic status. It even matches each charter with two or three district schools (within five miles) that have comparable demographics. In 22 out of 32 cases, the charter school had a higher API score than the similar district schools averaged.
You can find a summary of the report here. The individual charter/traditional school comparisons here. The entire report here.
The OUSD charter office's Web site also has some interesting information about the number of charters approved, the number revoked, etc.
What do you make of this analysis, and what does it say about the charter school movement? Do you think its results should — or will — influence the policies of the Oakland school board and staff with respect to charters?

Fiorentina defeated struggling Cesena 1-0 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi today to moved up to ninth place in Serie A.
However, Cesena showed a good fighting spirit and, despite not creating many clear-cut chances, they made Fiorentina work hard for their win. Fiorentina's defeat to Roma in midweek had once again put the pressure on Mihajlovic, who needed a win to lift his side into the top half of the table. Yet his team looked nervous against a side who have only just moved off the foot of the table thanks to a 1-0 win over Lazio on Wednesday.
The only chances the Viola created in the first half were thwarted by Cesena's veteran goalkeeper
Just as Cesena were beginning to get on top of the game, Gilardino created a goal out of nothing. Alessio Cerci's cross took a deflection to take the ball behind the

When Granville Austin came to India in the early 1960s to write a history of its constitutional founding, research was hard. Jawaharlal Nehru helped him gain access to materials, Rajendra Prasad and K.M. Munshi shared their private papers, the law ministry worked to uncover documents and in 1966, Austin delivered on his promise. What he produced — The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation — was and remains the most meticulous and carefully constructed account of the constitution-making process between 1946 and 1949. Three decades later, Austin, an "independent scholar" in Washington, returned with another book, Working a Democratic Constitution: A History of the Indian Experience. The second began where the first had ended, offering a remarkable narrative history of Indian constitutional development. Both works made the man, who was awarded a Padma Shri in 2011 and died earlier this week at the age of 87, the pre-eminent chronicler of India's constitutional journey.
When Austin began his first book, little had been written about the post-1947 Indian constitution-making process. Constitutional histories typically stopped with the coming of independence and, unsurprisingly, Cornerstone became an instant classic. From reviews in the world's leading magazines and law journals to citations by the Supreme Court, the book became the definitive reference point on India's constitutional founding for scholars and lawyers alike. Steeped in archival material, it covered key decisions made by the Constituent Assembly, from the relationship between the Centre and states, to emergency powers, to the nation's official language. Through unpacking the various negotiating positions and their resolution, Austin demonstrated that the debates were an intellectual resource that had received far less attention than they deserved. This is still a controversial argument, for many continue to suggest that the Constitution was a replica of the Government of India Act, 1935. While Austin challenged this view, his book couldn't quite immortalise the Indian founding as a constitutional moment. In some ways, Cornerstone was a victim of its own detail, missing conceptual linkages with the broader currents of Indian intellectual history and the wider traditions of global constitutionalism.
In Austin's second project, he moved from history to practice. Working a Democratic Constitution placed the Constitution at the heart of India's democratic story. There have only been a select few books, such as Ramachandra Guha's India After Gandhi, that have managed to successfully find a way to tell the history of independent India. Austin must belong in that small category of victors. The focal point he offered was not political actors or economic transitions but instead constitutional development, and his book remains the only one to have embraced this methodological vision. Interviews, newspaper articles, private papers, parliamentary debates and judicial cases were deployed to cover themes such as land redistribution and the right to …continued »

(Aside: Liesl Schillinger interviews Ellen Stewart on her own wild Classical cycle, Seven.)
In Zdenka Becker's Scent of Wheat, an aging poet muses on the role of writers during wartime, the Balkan conflict, art, beauty, sex, trauma, God, burying someone you love, and unfinished translations.
Seven, by Leung Shing Him, portrays a misogynist Hong Kong real estate agent and his victim, a girl implicated in the crime, trading perspectives in a sophisticated thriller.
Night Sings Its Songs, by Norway's leading playwright Jon Fosse, takes us deep into one fateful night where a young man and woman, in a relationship haunted by unfulfilled desires and ambitions, try to reconnect.

Buddhadeva Bose's The Ascetic and the Courtesan presents an ancient Hindu legend of a drought, an ailing king, and the royal marriage intended to reverse the fortunes of the kingdom.
Philip Boehm's Zeke is a postmodern response to Franz Kafka's story "A Report to an Academy," in which the grandson of an educated ape muses on Americana.
And Klaus Pohl's Canary illuminates various facets of the diamond district in New York City.

MR Allen Onyema, a lawyer, chairman of the Foundation for Ethnic Harmony in Nigeria, FEHN and amnesty facilitator was recently conferred with the Pan-Nigerian Nationalist award by the Eminent Friends Group International, EFGI, in Lagos.
How he got militants to lay down their arms and how he ensured peace at Obubra camp, Cross River State
At the height of the militancy, I felt disturbed that if only these boys will know that there is strength in non-violence, they would have adopted it but they did not know.
I met with the government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. I told them I could arrest the incidence of violence through non-violence education and programmes. They laughed because they did not believe me. I looked at history, which is replete with so many places where non-violence showed its power.
So, I decided that I will do the same thing and started looking for credible institutions and partners and that led me to Dr Bernard Lafayette (jnr). He worked with Dr King in the civil rights days. In fact, he was the last person King told to go to Washington to prepare the poor people for the campaign in Washington.
That was actually why they killed King because involving the poor people meant he was going to assemble the poor white and poor black. And the government of the day could not take it. It was a state murder. I decided to get Lafayette to partner me in doing the programme.
Initial plan
What I wanted to do in the first place was to train people who will be able to train other Nigerians. I got Lafayette to train me and my 19 staff.
But before then, I had started moving militants out of the creeks -from Delta to Lagos doing Level I programme. Then Shell came in to support. I was taking them to South Africa to train them. It was the training of the initial 10 militants given to us by Shell that opened the eyes of the world to what I was doing.
In the second part, they sent 23; we trained, transformed and employed them. They sent 60, I trained and transformed them and the American Embassy talked to us and we started taking them to America.
We trained a whole lot of them. Many parents were now coming to me to say: 'look, I have somebody in the militancy, I would like you to help my son; I want to get my son out of it.'
Chevron decided to come in when they saw what was happening on the Shell side. In Afam, for several years, Shell could not operate. I went into Afam and reconciled the 17 communities with the oil companies. Today, there is no more problem in Afam. Non-violence is very powerful.
Yar'Adua's yeoman's job
It was along the line that late President Umar Musa Yar'Adua decided to call on Timi Alaibe: 'we have a security report about an organisation, the FEHN training these boys why don't we do it on a larger scale?'
They now decided to train 600 commanders first. He told Timi to meet with the militant leaders: 'is there a way we can make them bring down their tools of war and take to this programme?'
At first, the commanders refused but later said, 'okay, we will send our boys first to test the waters.' What they did first was to send the bad ones who were disturbing them so that they could go and get killed because they though it was a set up.
Timi brought 600 boys. The Federal Government financed it through the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC. We trained and transformed them. That was when President Yar' Adua said something big should happen and the issue of amnesty came up.
Before then, Dr Lafayette asked me: 'if you want to dismantle militancy, you have to dismantle any organisation that is handling their affairs. Which is the most powerful organisation in Niger Delta?'
I said the Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, which like the political wing. The militants are the military wing. He said, 'how do they get to their positions of power?' I said 'through elections.' He said in that case, we have to train people and sponsor them to take over IYC. So we had to train people to be non-violent and put them on the saddle to take over the exco of the IYC.
Power changes hand in IYC
I started sourcing for credible persons to use and that search took me to Chris Ekiyor, Jonathan Lokpobiri and a whole lot of them. We took them out, trained them in Nigeria, South Africa and United States of America and came back and supported their election. We made sure that all the chairmen were proponents of non-violence. When they won election, the IYC the following day started talking about non-violence. Their motto used to be 'by all means necessary.'
The IYC started telling the militant wing, 'we have to down the tools of war, we have to pursue it intellectually.' At first, Chris Ekiyor did not receive any support. He was shot twice but he persevered. We were giving our support from behind. All of a sudden, some of the leaders started buying into it and seeing something good in it.
We proved to them that we were not against the struggle but we were against the method and proved to them that there is a more powerful method to be used and if you use that you stand to gain. If you do violence, you ostracise men of goodwill who would have participated in your cause.

Andrew Zimmern has tasted some pretty weird delicacies on his travel show, Bizarre Foods. But when it comes to his daily routine at home in Minnesota, Zimmern says his meals are pretty normal.
"I go home at night, I pick up the dry cleaning, and I make a roast chicken and some crispy potatoes and my wife and son and I sit down to a nice dinner," he said.
However, the television host can't always escape his Bizarre Foods life, even during his off-season. "The disaster for me is when I'm with my wife and son and we stop at a burger bar or something and the chef decides to send out a month-old pig head from the freezer. I just want to eat a burger with my son!"
While he lives in Minnesota, Zimmern manages to travel to his hometown of New York City quite often. He was there just last week and documented his days, including all the different types of food he ate. From duck testicles, calf's brains, and a bagel and coffee for breakfast, check out a week in the life of Andrew Zimmern here.

According to oral traditions, the Ibo have resided in "Iboland," a region of modern-day Nigeria, for over 1500 years. Before that, the tradition asserts that they were migrants from ancient Israel. There exist a number of theories that explain from whom the Ibo are descendant, and how they came to reside in Nigeria. One theory contends that the Ibo are the descendants of a number of Jacob's son. Within the Ibo, there exist three ethnic sub-identities. They are Benei Gath, Benei Zevulun and Benei Menashsheh,
The Ibo of Benei Gath are said to have descended from Gath (Gad), the eighth son of Jacob. The lineage traces itself through Gath's son, Eri ben-Gath. A number of Ibo clans claim this identity. They are the Aguleri, Umuleri, Oreri, Enugwu Ikwu, Ogbunike, Awkuzu, Nteje and Igbariam.
The Ibo of Benei Zevulun trace their ancestry to Jacob's fifth son, Zevulun. Tradition holds that a descendant of Zevulun named Zevulunu married Oji, a descendant of the tribe of Judah. They had a son: Ozubulu ben-Zebulunu. Ozubulu had four sons who are said to have settled in various areas located in what is now Nigeria. The resulting ethnic sub-identities are the Neni, Egbema Ugwuta, and Ohaji Egbema.
The Ibo of Benei Menashsheh are believed to be descendant from Meneshsheh (Menashe), the son of Joseph, Jacob's eleventh son. The Amichi, Ichi and Nnewi-Ichi ethnicities trace their lineage to Menashe.
There exist other theories that explain how the Ibo Benei-Yisrael are the descendants of ancient Israelites. One such theory postulates that the Ibo are descendants of Levitical migrants. The theory contends that the Levites left Judah in the periods of destruction of the first and second Temples in Jerusalem. They are said to have settled in Jerban, Tunisia. A more likely theory states that the Ibo Benei-Yisrael are the descendants of clans of ancient Israelis and Judeans that fled the Levant before and during the Assyrian and Babylonian sieges. This particular theory explains how individual Ibo sub-ethnicities would have oral traditions that link them to specific tribes.
According to 9th-century Jewish traveler Eldad ben-Mahli (Eldad the Danite), the Ibo Benei-Yisrael may be descendants of members of several of the "Lost Tribes of Israel." He contended that the Jews of Africa came from the tribes of Dan, Naphtali, Gad and Asher, who had fled the Land of Israel so as not to participate in the civil war between Judah and Israel during the time of Jereboam's succession and reign over the Northern Kingdom (922-901BCE or 931-910 BCE). Eldad contended that these Jews originally settled in Havilah, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia. With them, they had a copy of the Tanach, less the books of Esther and Lamentations. These Jews had no knowledge of the Mishna or Babylonian Talmud, but had devised their own Talmudic tradition, in which all the laws were credited to Yehoshua bin Nun, who received them from Moses.
Just as there exist a number of theories about from whom the Ibo are descendant, there are as many theories as to how they came to reside in Nigeria.
One theory holds that ancient Hebrews and later, ancient Israelis migrated west from the Arabian Peninsula through Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan. No one is certain when ancient Hebrews first emigrated from the Middle East and settled in West Africa. It is thought that they began to arrive before 202 BCE, the date associated with the arrival of iron working civilizations in West Africa (e.g. the Nok).
An additional theory states that North African Jews traded and traveled within the West African Kingdoms of Mali, Songhai and Kanem-Bornu. Jews are believed to have been a prominent demographic in these empires. It is even thought that several rulers of the Songhai empire had Jewish roots. It appears however that Judaism in the West African empires came to an abrupt end when Askia Muhammad came to power and in 1492, ordered that all Jews convert to Islam of face expulsion.
Another theory maintains that Jews traveling with trade caravans from Northeast Africa moved through West Africa. According to certain accounts, such as Travels in North Africa by Nahum Slouschz, Jewish identity can be found in North Africa since the founding of Carthage, specifically, descendants of the tribes of Zevulun and Asher.
Persecution and trade have been the major influencing factors in how the Jews migrated through Africa. During periods of Islamic persecution and for the purposes of trade, Jews moved from communities in Egypt, Ethiopia, Tunisia and Morocco to more remote regions of North and West Africa. Trade routes to West Africa may have been established as early as the period in which David ruled Israel, and the term Tarshish, found in the Tanach, may refer to the Ivory Coast of West Africa.
The decline of the Jewish communities of West Africa can be traced to the arrival of Muslim invaders in the 14th and 15th centuries. North and West African Jews banded with other local communities of Berbers, Christians and Greeks to ward of the invaders, but eventually succumbed. Many were forced to convert to Islam, sold into slavery or simply massacred. In the face of this persecution written traditions, such as the Torah, were lost. The Ibo Benei-Yisrael, though having no written evidence of their Jewish heritage, maintained a strong oral tradition and practiced many Jewish customs in secret. Records of these medieval Jewish communities, found in the Timbuktu, Mali Islamic Library, indicate the presence of Jewish families in the region before the arrival of Islam in the 1300's CE.
In modern-day Nigeria, the Ibo Bnei-Yisrael practice a number of customs borne of Jewish tradition. Males are circumcised on their 8th day of life, women are separated during their menstrual cycles, the cross-breeding of plants and animals is forbidden, as is the consumption of non-kosher animals. Even Yom Kippur and Sukkoth are celebrated. There has been a resurgence of Jewish learning among the Ibo Benei-Yisrael. There are currently 26 Ibo and non-Ibo synagogues in Nigeria and Hebrew and Torah study have increased as well. The Ibo continue to work with researchers to better trace their history, so that they may be recognized as Jews by Israel, and therefore be eligible for Israel's Law of Return.
The wider Jewish world began taking more notice of the Ibo in 2012 - filmmaker Jeff Lieberman released a documentary "Re-emerging: The Jews of Nigeria," and Northeastern University professor William F.S. Miles published "The Jews of Nigeria: An Afro-Judaic Odyssey."

The purported image of an iPad 3′s logic board has recently appeared on a Chinese website called WeiPhone. However, instead of showing off the Apple A6 processor we've been hoping would launch with the iPad 3, the tablet's logic board instead houses an "Apple A5X" processor, alongside a couple of 16 gigabyte flash memory chips.
Since the Apple A5 succeeded the Apple A4, most Apple fans have been guessing that both the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 would feature an Apple A6 processor. Furthermore, a number of reports have indicated that this processor could be quad-core, as opposed to the dual-core composition of the A5.
The above image, if authentic, suggests otherwise. An Apple A5X processor would most likely be similar to the A5 chip we're already using in our iPhone 4S handsets and iPad 2 tablets, with minor changes and improvements.
Already, BGR has confirmed that the part number of the iPad 3′s processor is S5L8945X. When you compare this with the numbers of the A4 and A5 (S5L8930X and S5L8940X, respectively), we can see from the figures which precede the final "X" that the iPad 3′s processor is merely a modified version of the A5.
Besides an improved processor, Apple's iPad 3 is expected to launch with a Retina display and support for LTE. The new tablet should be announced in March, if the numerous reports we've seen are correct, with several sources noting that March 7 is a date worth keeping free.
If any more iPad 3 news hits the Web, we'll be sure to let you know. In the meantime, feel free to post your thoughts on the above in the comments.

China's vehicle manufacturer Foton is setting up an assembly plant in Kenya. The assembly plant is expected to churn out 10,000 units of commercial vehicles, including buses per year, making it one of the biggest foreign direct investments by a Chinese company. Foton said it is setting up the plant to avoid paying a 25 per cent import duty.
The assembly plant is expected to be complete by May 2012, creating more than 100 new direct jobs. Foton vehicles were previously shipped into the country fully made but the move to assemble them locally is set to give them a sharp price advantage. Imports of completely knocked down units (CKD) for local assembly are zero-rated as opposed to a 25 per cent import duty on fully made vehicle imports, giving Foton a greater pricing headroom, riding on China's low cost production.
The entry of Foton comes when relations between Nairobi and Beijing are getting cosier, with China increasingly expanding its economic footprint in the country in line with the government's policy to look East for new investments and aid. This has seen Chinese imports more than double in the last five years.

Whether you're conscious of it or not, you should know that in almost all the media you consume there's been a product strategically shoe-horned in to make you want to buy it without you even really realizing it.
Like for example, how many times have you been watching Seinfeld reruns only to find yourself craving a cold, refreshing Snapple? That's product placement (though allegedly Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never got a cent for their numerous Snapple references, they kept it up because they loved the joke).
Product placement is simply the presentation of a product either in the background or as a prop within the context of a movie or TV show. The advertiser's product is visible but not the focus. The product must fit seamlessly in the scene, so not only does it add realism to the scene but it also helps sell the product. This is especially true if you identify with the characters.
Because if you like the characters, your brain will associate a certain product with that character and you'll reflect positively on said product the next time you see it and you're probably going to buy it.
Though product placement is saturated in mainstream media, I feel like these huge corporations shelling out thousands of dollars to have their product on screen for a few seconds in this summer's big blockbuster are really missing an opportunity by not using product placement in porn videos.
Just think about it. What do we like most of all? Sex. Everyone knows that sex sells. So if we see a product worn or used by a sexy, possibly nude babe, why wouldn't we associate it with getting laid?
Surely this is a crackpot theory but I found 10 instances of product placement in porn and I want to know if seeing these products/logos next to or with a nude babe is effective product placement. So let's put this theory to the test with the Sex.com Blog's PRODUCT PLACEMENT IN PORN TOP 10.

The last time I had a Pop-Up Popsicle, I instantly threw up everywhere and haven't gone near them since. Though, I'm now starting to think that I should give them another try because seeing Alyssa Arce lick a Pop-Up makes me all kinds of happy.
9. Gatorade

Gatorade is only for athletes. However, seeing this woman in that tight leather dress bent over looking for a flavor of Gatorade that's not blue makes me want one even though I'm no athlete. Also, why do you think she has so much Gatorade? Because she likes to fuck so much that she needs her men to replenish their electrolytes as often as possible? Could be…

The only time it's acceptable to the drink beer-flavored water known as Corona is on a Mexican beach. That said, it'll be hard not to think of Danielle Sharp's incredible tits the next time I see a case of Corona. So I'll probably buy it even though I won't be on a Mexican beach any time soon.
7. Coca-Cola

Coke is refreshing and delicious. But have you ever craved a Coca-Cola more than after seeing it drip down that perfect set of tits? Didn't think so.

Asphyxia Noir drinks Maker's Mark Bourbon. Now I will go and purchase a bottle for myself, to train himself not to wince every time I taste it so that I can appear cool if I ever get lucky enough to buy Asphyxia Noir a drink.

Miracle Whip makes all desserts better. That's just a fact. Can you imagine how much better Miracle Whip would taste when served on Riley Reid's tits? Must get some now.
3. Apple Computers
Source: 37.media.tumblr.com via stainlessrose on Sex.com
Has anyone ever cummed this hard using a PC? I wouldn't take that chance if I was in the market for a new computer. Hence why I'm now saving up for a new Macbook.
2. iPhone
Source: showmeyouriphone.tumblr.com via SeymoreBikini on Sex.com
Currently, I have an Android phone and everyone treats me like a second class citizen. Why? Because when I upgraded my phone, I decided to take the free one instead of paying extra for the iPhone. Is that so wrong? Probably because it crashes and lags all the time. But what's really sold me on getting an iPhone was seeing how high-quality sexy selfies are when shot on iPhone as demonstrated here busty blonde pornstar Riley Steele.
1. Starbucks Coffee
Source: exgirlfriend-photos.com via RayBonga on Sex.com
Starbucks Coffee is actually pretty shitty coffee. The only reason we're all slaves to the white and green is because convenience. Have you ever sought out a Starbucks? Of course not. You don't have to. There's one on every block. But seeing that twin-tailed mermaid next to that amazing pair of amateur boobs, I'm going out to buy a $5 cup of coffee.
So what did you think? Does seeing these products placed next to hot, nude women make you want to buy them? Let us know how dumb this theory is in the comments!

Backup Fails with error code 0xe0009574 for a VM not selected in the resource list
Good afternoon BE2012 gurus,
Ran into an interesting and annoying problem with a VM (vSphere 5.5) backup to D2D. We are running the latest build of BE2012 with all service packs, hot fixes and patches applied to the application. The server (Windows 2008 Enterprise - 32 bit) is up to date as well with all MS updated installed and all HP updates installed as well.
The backup job is using the Agent for VMWare Virtual Infrastructure. The backup job is a non-GRT type backup.
The specifics of the job are to backup, once a week, a select set of VMs that do not change often.
User credentials are correct for the VMs and consistent with the user credentials used for individually backing up each VM individually. In other words, the user credentials for the resource are confirmed correct.
When we run this job, we get the following error show up in the log during the Verify phase of the backup:
Note: Resource: "VMVCB::\\VRSOMVCENTER\VCGuestVm\(DC)Veterinary Medicine(DC)\vm\ESX Shutdown vMA" is not snappable. Attempting to back up directly from the source volume. V-79-57344-38260 - Unable to create a snapshot of the virtual machine. The virtual machine may be too busy to quiesce to take the snapshot. Note: Resource: "VMVCB::\\VRSOMVCENTER\VCGuestVm\(DC)Veterinary Medicine(DC)\vm\VRCMC" is not snappable. Attempting to back up directly from the source volume.
What is interesting about this error is the VM noted above is NOT selected in the list of resources to backup. I have tried changing the job by adding this resource and saving the job followed by removing this resource from the list of VMs to backup and saving again. Re-running the job results in the exact same failure. I've even deleted the job and recreated a new job with the same VM resources to backup (excluding of course the VM that fails to be backed up) with the same name as the previous backup job and the job fails again with the exact same error message. Also note that all the other VMs backed up in this job succeed (no errors).
If I backup the ESX Shutdown vMA by itself as a non-GRT backup and as a one time backup, the backup runs successfully. This gives me every indication that there is something wrong with the job that was created and recreated and points to a possible problem with the database.
Any pearls of wisdom to share on what might be the cause of this issue? I think I'll try deleting and recreating the job with a different name and re-running the job to see if the problem goes away. In the interim, I would be curious to hear what you believe this error points to.

Thank you for the return comment. Those are the existing settings for this job as well as all the VM non-GRT jobs.
I've created a new job with a different name but with the same VMs to be backed up. That job was started and currently in the Verify stage. Should have an answer shortly if the problem recreates itself although I would highly doubt it will. If this works, then I'll simply delete the old job.
