Bamako - Soldiers looted petrol stations and hijacked cars in Mali's capital Bamako on Friday, 48 hours after a military coup, as the African Union said it had assurances that President Amadou Toumani Toure was safe. The AU also suspended Mali's membership after the coup, which has left the West African nation in limbo and jangled nerves in a region already suffering aftershocks from last year's Libyan war. "We have been told that the president is safe, protected by a certain number of loyalists," AU Commission head Jean Ping told reporters after a meeting of the bloc's Peace and Security Council in Addis Ababa. "The president is in Mali for sure. The assurances we are getting from those that are protecting him is that he is not far from Bamako," Ping said. The coup's leaders have sought to capitalise on popular dissatisfaction at Toure's handling of a rebellion by northern nomads. But they looked isolated as a coalition of parties condemned the coup and urged new elections, which before Wednesday's events had been scheduled for April. "The signatories ... condemn this forceful takeover which is a major setback for our democracy," 10 parties including Adema, the largest in parliament, said in a joint declaration. Amadou Sanogo, the army captain named as leader of the mutineers, told Africable television on Thursday that he would not hold on to power but refused to give a time frame for restoring civilian rule. Sanogo, who says he has had training from US Marines and intelligence, said there had been efforts to arrest Toure. Residents in Bamako said looting had caused shortages, and fuel prices have doubled to over 1 300 CFA francs ($2.60) a litre in about 24 hours. "I am a driver but there is no fuel for the car, I do not even have fuel for my bike to go back home," said Youssouf Diawara as he queued with other motorists for petrol. Although most shops, petrol stations and businesses were closed some residents ventured out in search of necessities. "People are afraid because of the soldiers. Often (they take) what is in the car or they make you get out and take the car or sometimes the soldiers themselves just break into shops," said Bamako resident Adama Quindo. Civilians joined in the looting of a warehouse by soldiers, according to Reuters television. "Bread is becoming scarce, I made a mistake this morning, I should have bought more," said another Bamako resident. Mali, flooded with men and weapons after Libya's civil war, was already facing a food crisis, the Tuareg-led rebellion, and a growing Islamist threat when Sanogo's soldiers took over.
The African way...Don't expect more and don't expect less...!
Agreed, this is Africa where you can take the indigenous people out of the bush but that is about it.
My sentiments exactly Bob. Wonder what the Presidential Palace looks like?
keep in mind how many South Africans are working in Mali and other north African countrys. they are also in danger there. All south africans in mali should be fee to fly home and still get pain for the time
@ Oscar Your comments are racist. If you cant see that this is a direct result of the west plundering Libya and the repercussions are spilling out into the region. But no doubt you think its all perfectly cool because you read about it in the liberal white press and that's what you believe. Time for you lot to wake up and smell the roses, there is more going on beneath the surface than meets the eye . . .
Are you following the same daily news as everyone else. The OAU and AU supported the obnoxious Gadaffi regime for 42 years before his own people toppled him. The ANC was supported financially by the dictator Gadaffi. People are now beginning to see this greedy corrupt ANC led government as even now worse than the aparthed regime. We need true African leaders such as Mhampela Ramphele and Moeletsi Mbeki and not the wild west gang of self enriching gangsters under Zuma that we have now. Like Gadaffi this corrupt ANC thieves have been stealing billions of rands while their own people are starving and unemployed. What government in the west would do that.
nheinamann, I didn't comment about who is wrong or right in terms of what is going on in Libya or Mali. My comment was aimed at the actions of the self righteous soldiers that started their plundering and steeling the moment they got into power. For waking up and smelling the roses, I for one really do not care what is happening in other African countries because in 99.9% of the cases it defies all logic.
If the country and government does not look after its forces especially soldiers this is the end results, so governments need to learn a lesson of resolving peoples problems before they can escalate further more, give soldiers ear and listen to what they are asking rather than dealing with them harshly.
Now in Mali soldiers have taken the government and now country is in chaos. Let African governments take care of their soldiers by paying them properly and changing their working conditions to be better.
Africa open your eyes!

Mynaa director Prabhu Solomon is coming up with his next release in Kumki.Vikram Prabhu, son of actor Prabhu is making his debut in a role of a mahout for Kumki. Produced by N. Subash Chandrabose the film also has Mynaa composer D. Imman on board.
Prabhu is confident that his son Vikram Prabhu will do well with his very first movie. He says, "Vikram was just like me but he made up his mind and lost almost 25 kgs to get into his role for the film." The star son also took blessings from Rajini before he started the shoots for the film. Kumki has Kerala born actress Lakshmi Menon playing Vikram's love interest in the film. The duo also shot for a song at the Jog Falls, in the Shimoga district of Karnataka earlier. Kumki's climax shoots took place on two-acres of land, a stretched sequence where elephants rampage the spot. Vikram's character as mahout is named Bomman and Lakshmi Menon is called Alli. The film is getting ready for a July release.

Saturn February! It's happening...
Back over at the lovely Planet Dreamcast Forums, in 2008, I proposed a month dedicated to the Dreamcast. I was so wowed by the 360, that I had neglected the Dreamcast, and more importantly/worryingly to the good folks over here at the SJY, the Saturn.
The idea proved quite popular at the PDC Forum and several of the members joined me and rekindled their retro console love for Sega's swansong. The major revelation on the Dreamcast was that I discovered and completed Sword Of The Berserk: Gut's Rage, a game that was bought and left languishing in a cupboard unplayed for four long years.
It was a epiphany like experience for me, and the game now resides in my 'favourite games of all time' list. I also had a PS2 fortnight in September when my 360 got the Red Ring Of Death. Similar story as the Gut's Rage one, but this time the epiphany was Yakuza!!
OK, back to the Saturn. Here's the idea... In the month of Saturn February, I'll only play Saturn software or their follow ups on other consoles. This could mean a trip down memory lane: I'll play stalwart favourites like Fighting Vipers, Sega Rally, Dead Or Alive, Clockwork Knight, Virtua Fighter Kids, NiGHTS, Sega World Wide Soccer 98, Daytona USA and so on... But that would be too easy and not necessarily productive or informative. It might serve as a good reminder of why I fell in love with the console in the first place, though. So maybe a launch night on February the first could be a Saturn Favourites-fest!
What needs to happen, the most important thing to do, is to play some games that I've bought, and then like a video game magpie, tossed into my tattered software nest, a disregarded shiny thing...
That means I'll have some games for the Saturn which will be for me, as fresh and virginal as the day they were bought out back in the good old Nineties. What will my Saturn revelation be? *whistful sigh...*
It might be that I devote some serious play-time to games that I've bought at no inconsiderable cost, imported from Japan or whatever and then largely ignored... Like Burning Rangers!!!
It could also mean a purchase of the Wii edition of NiGHTs, or a solid play through of Panzer Dragoon Orta or Virtua Fighter 5, or Dead Or Alive 4 on the 360... Keeping the Saturn dream alive on the current gen. (See above.)
It could mean hunting down some Saturn promotional loveliness, toys or merchandise which Elend doesn't own yet. (Unlikely... ) LOL! The more economic and sensible thing might be to grab some freebies off the net, like emulation or homebrew devs and finally learning how to utilise them on my PC or even burn to disc for my Saturn. I'd never dream of trying to chip it myself, but if I had a burned disc, I could try to conquer the swap trick. Hey! It might even be modded, it's off eBay, so who knows?
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. There is much preparation left to... erm...prepare! Job one is done. My Saturn collection is centralized and sorted. You can see it on the bottom shelf of this picture.
Job 2 is hopefully happening as we speak. I've left my two oldest boys in charge of hooking up the Saturn to the TV in the other living room. If they are obedient, I should be good to go before dawn breaks on 6th of January! (And this would mean I could legitimately play Christmas NiGHTS during the festive season, as it doesn't end till midnight tomorrow!
Job 3 is to revise the list...
That's all the games I own. This list was compiled ages ago and there have been many additions since. (It's probably doubled by now...) At this point I might have a hidden gem that you adore... Please indulge me and check it out. Let me know about anything there that floats your boat...
Here are some useful links to remind you of the Saturn's greatness and then it's up to you, or if this proves to be a simply solo venture, up to me. Any way I'm making myself all excited and I need to go to bed, so I'll stop now. Hope the video below gets you in the mood!

A father's diary, an artist's memoir.
By the author of the best-selling Three Golden Keys.
While my father was in China and Tibet, he kept a diary, which was later locked in a red box. We weren't allowed to touch the box. The stories I heard as a little boy faded to a hazy dream, and my drawings from that time make no sense. I cannot decipher them. It was not until I myself had gone far, far away and received the message from my father that I became interested in the red box again . . .
In New York, Peter Ss receives a letter from his father. "The Red Box is now yours," it says. The brief note worries him and pulls him back to Prague, where the contents of the red box explain the mystery of his father's long absence during the 1950s.
Czechoslovakia was behind the iron curtain; Vladimir Ss, a documentary filmmaker of considerable talent, was drafted into the army and sent to China to teach filmmaking. He left his wife, daughter, and young son, Peter, thinking he would be home for Christmas. Two Christmases would pass before he was heard from again: Vladimir Ss was lost in Tibet. He met with the Dalai Lama; he witnessed China's invasion of Tibet. When he returned to Prague, he dared not talk to his friends about all he had seen and experienced. But over and over again he told Peter about his Tibetan adventures. Weaving their two stories together - that of the father lost in Tibet and that of the small boy in Prague, lost without his father - Ss draws from his father's diary and from his own recollections of his father's incredible tales to reach a spiritual homecoming between father and son. With his sublime pictures, inspired by Tibetan Buddhist art and linking history to memory, Peter Ss gives us an extraordinary book - a work of singular artistry and rare imagination.
A Junior Library Guild Selection.
[This] is...a charming book and a visually beautiful one, but....it is too childlike in tone and structure to engage the adult mind even while its adult themes are not for children....[His father] allowed his imagination free rein. So did Mr. Sis the younger, and we are the beneficiaries of that, even as he whets but does not satisfy our curiosity.

Scott Jagow: After more than 30 bowl games, the college football season finally ended this week. LSU won the national championship in New Orleans. If you watched that game, you couldn't help but notice the sponsor: AllState. Its logo was all over the field, on the players' jerseys, on the sidewalks in New Orleans, and buses and hotels.
Allstate threw parties and parades.
But a lot of people didn't feel like celebrating. They think the insurance company bailed on many homeowners after Hurricane Katrina.
Let's bring in our business of sports commentator, Diana Nyad. Diana, why did AllState choose New Orleans for a bowl sponsorship?
Diana Nyad: On the one hand, let's be fair to them, to the company, and say way before Hurricane Katrina swept into the Gulf region, Allstate has been involved in college football. And they've been looking for a bowl game for this particular season, and you know, who knows -- maybe if the Orange Bowl or the Cotton Bowl, or other games had come available, they would have taken that. But I think their analysts looked at it and said, OK, people are ticked off at us in New Orleans, but nationwide, you know, all those cities around the country watching two of the biggest college football moments of the year are going to say, "Allstate. We're in good hands with Allstate." Allstate, Allstate, Allstate.
Jagow: So they knew it beforehand that there would probably be people that would be very upset with seeing logos all over the city with Allstate.
Nyad: Yeah. I mean, you know, they've got over 1,200 claims that are still not been settled. The people who haven't had their homes rebuilt, they've got personal law suits against them. And the Allstate hands, you know, "You're in good hands with Allstate" -- well the people in New Orleans sure don't feel that way.
Jagow: But is it just the exposure that Allstate has, or is it the fact that they've spent all this money on a Bowl sponsorship, when that money could be going to people's homes?
Nyad: It's a direct analysis. You know, imagine if you'd lost your home -- and not just lost your home, a lot of people's policies were cancelled. And they care that this company is, you know, the big championship sponsorship, you know, title company of the football game. They think it's wrong, they think it's immoral.
Jagow: But at the same time, New Orleans does need some rejuvenation, and it is getting it in the form of sporting events, like it or not. You've got the bowl games, the national championship, the NBA All-Star Game will be there this year. So you could argue that Allstate is just participating in that.
Nyad: They are. But it's a fairly small city, and there's a fairly big population that was hurt. And they say, you know, let's get some other company who's treated us a little better to come in here and throw their logo around. I personally would have thought that just over this part weekend, that they might have, you know, thrown some wonderful PR events for the flood victims that directly lost their homes and lost their policies under Allstate's care.
Jagow: It should be noted that if you watched the bowl games and the national championship, you saw ads for car insurance and not home insurance.
Nyad: Good point. They very cleverly made sure that, you know -- I mean their bread and butter is home insurance, that's what they're known for, but all of the national campaign and the local New Orleans campaign, whether it was print or was television, focused on their auto policies and their auto products.
Jagow: All right, Diana Nyad, thanks.
Nyad: Scott, take it easy.
Jagow: Diana Nyad is our business of sports commentator.

What Does Jumping Have to Do With Fastpitch Softball?by Stacie ~ May 30th, 2013. Filed under: Softball Tips, Softball Training, Softball Videos, Stuff We Like.
Share this article: Click Here to Tweet
I'm so excited! I just got my prize package from "The Box Jumper," Ryan Moody. He had a photo contest recently for which I submitted this picture of my son "doing" a box jump and won.
I love Ryan, not only because he offers great training for athletes and is good at what he does, but because he's a great coach who's truly into helping others get better. Some coaches hold back when coaching others because they want to stay better than everyone else. Ryan will give his best even if it means that the athletes he trains end up performing better than him. In my opinion, that's the sign of a great coach!
In addition, believe incorporating Ryan's XWOD components into training is useful for ANY athlete!
Granted, in softball we don't jump much. There may be that occasional high throw we need some air for or that line drive over your head that you'd like to snag to steal a hit. Other than that, there's not a whole lot of jumping in our game.
So what does jumping have to do with fastpitch softball?
Well, I recently heard training experts talking about this very topic. They said that any time you can improve your max jump, you also improve your SPEED!
Speed you say? Yes! Speed.
I don't know any softball player or coach who would turn down a little more speed!
If you've ever seen Arizona play (or any team with good speed), you KNOW that speed kills. It's highly useful on the softball field and can definitely make things happen.
Plus, a lot of softball power comes from the hips. Jumping power? Same thing. It's all in the hips. Get your hips pumping out more jumping power and guess what? You'll increase your softball power as well. Speed and power training, all rolled into one. Can't get much better than that!
If you ever get a chance to see Ryan in action, take it. He's travels quite a bit for sharing his Explosive Training Seminars. If you happen to find one near you, check it out. I think you'll love it!
Can't find a seminar near you? No problem!
My friend Barry Lovelace, aka The King of Core, also offers training programs (delivered directly to you) that can help! In fact, he's coming out with a brand new DVD that's all about that explosive FIRST STEP, so super key in softball.
Even if you aren't the fastest on your team, having a great first step helps you make more plays on defense and win more bases on offense. While you may not stay at your top speed on the field too often or too long, almost every move you make on the field is improves significantly with a better, quicker, more explosive FIRST STEP.
Barry's new DVD shows you how to do just that. As soon as it's is ready, I'll let you know!
For now, you can check out his other softball training programs including…
Core Power Training for Softball – tried and true program that helps you throw harder and hit farther after just 3 workouts. Get it
Softball Pitcher's Pop Training – create explosive power, increase MPH, and increase your pitching velocity FAST. Get it

President Mahama is currently sharing his campaign message with people in the Central Region. He has already been to the Western and Northern Regions. But what does he eat during such tours?
Speaking on Metro TV's Good Evening Ghana on Tuesday, President Mahama said "when I'm on the campaign trail I don't like to feel heavy so I don't eat heavy food I take light food. I take some soup or something."
READ ALSO: Mahama did not promise one house per meter - Omane Boamah
President Mahama says he takes in more liquid when on the campaign trail.
"You have to take a lot of liquids and my doctors advise me to take a lot of fluids so I drink a lot of water and then I drink a lot of tea; black tea"
READ ALSO: Mahama moves to Central Region to begin 5-day tour
Studies have shown that black tea boost's the immune system because it contains alkylamine antigens. It also protects its consumers from influenza, stomach flu and other common found viruses in our daily lives because it contains tannins that have the ability to fight viruses.
President Mahama is currently in the Central Region to canvass for votes. He has already toured the Western and Northern Regions campaigning for a second term in office.

Financing Channels and the Performance of Chinese Small and Medium High-Tech Enterprises
China's astonishing economic growth in recent years has attracted many research interests. It is well documented that small and medium-sized enterprises have become a major driving force making China's economic miracle. Financing is critical to small business; however, there are limited studies on financing sources for Chinese small business and how different financing sources affect the performance of small business. This paper investigates the influence of different financing channels on the performance of Chinese small and medium sized high-tech enterprises. We find that small firms in China rely heavily on individual financing due to the difficulty in obtaining external financing. Our results show that individual financing is negatively related to the firm performance measured by operating revenues. In contrast, firms with foreign financing have better performance. However, one should be cautious to interpret the influence of foreign financing on firm performance. Our results also indicate that foreign financing is positively related to the probability of a firm incurring loss. On one hand, foreign ownership brings in advanced management skills and better corporate governance and thus produces high operating revenues. However, on the other hand, foreign ownership results in high operating costs due to cultural difference and adjustments to China's business environment. When costs associated with foreign financing outweigh the benefits it bring in, the firm with foreign financing will have higher probability to incur loss compared to firms financed by other channels.

Federal Appeals Court Sends Lawsuit Against Google, Others, Back to State Court
"Lane's claims the Internet companies knowingly overcharged it and other companies for "pay per click" advertising, and that the Internet companies conspired to create an online environment that harms advertisers."
September 14th, 2005, 09:52 PM #2
Feds shirking their duties as usual. FTC is SO lame about protecting consumers from Internet scammers. And the courts have no idea what is going on. This google case is not isolated to the geographical confines of Texas and neither are the alleged injured parties. Why they hell do I pay so much Federal Taxes? Crap, today I had to mail my 3rd of 4 annual estimated tax payments as a self-employed person - so they picked a BAD DAY to rub this salt into my gaping hole of a tax wound!!!

Font >> Display - AM Floriana Volume with 2 Styles 7379 by URW++ @ CreativeMarket
File Size: 136.3 KB; Vector: Yes.
The origin of AM Floriana is already several decades ago. At a time before photosetting and when the choice of metal type fonts was still very manageable, Alois Menacher received an order to design a custom business logo for a flower shop. He then created a hand-drawn lettering based on the form of leaves and plants.
Now Alois Menacher professionally designed and developed AM Floriana on the basis of this lettering. AM Floriana is ideally suited for packaging design, as well as for display design and logo design.

Three speeches caught my attention at CPAC this year. The annual gathering of conservatives always features some of the best speeches of the year, but what makes some speeches stand apart from others is what they are attempting to accomplish for the person delivering the remarks.
Rick Perry: It's no secret that Texas Governor Rick Perry is attempting to change his perception as a national candidate following his disastrous 2012 presidential campaign. Perry took to the CPAC stage and delivered a stem-winder that got the conservative confab buzzing. Perry needed a big speech, and he delivered in a big way. Now he needs to do something like that in Iowa, and his makeover following his 2012 race will be complete.
Perry's speech was excellent, but he also impressed me during the panel discussion he participated in later that morning. Perry talked with great detail about the progress Texas has made in reforming its criminal justice system. Perry showed that he could extemporaneously discuss a topic that's not necessarily a top-tier issue with great detail. Perry's speech and panel discussion at CPAC proved one thing – it's too early to write off the Texas Governor.
Mike Huckabee: In the months following the 2012 elections, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee indicted that he may make another run at the Republican nomination for President in 2016. Huckabee's CPAC speech on Friday confirmed that he is serious. The 2008 caucus winner used the speech to revive the themes of his of his last presidential campaign. Social issues are in Huckabee's wheelhouse, and he once again touted the Fair Tax, but it was Huckabee's comments on world affairs that show that the past four years have helped him become more versed in foreign policy. If Huckabee runs in 2016, he's going to be a major factor in Iowa.
Chris Christie: Still mired in controversy, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie acted as if nothing could derail a presidential bid should he choose to seek the Republican nomination in 2016. As one would expect the chairman of the Republican Governor's Association to do, Christie bragged about the efforts Republican governors have made since being elected. He also dedicated a large portion to his speech to his pro-life beliefs. Anytime an establishment candidate like Christie starts talking about the life issue at a place like CPAC, I can't help but think of the Iowa caucuses.
CPAC Re-Runs
Rand Paul: Once again, U.S. Senator Rand Paul took the CPAC stage in blue jeans and a suit jacket, and once again his speech focused entirely on liberty. Senator Paul is a good speaker, and the college kids in the room loved everything he was serving up. Paul's speech was reminiscent to the speech he delivered last year at CPAC. There is nothing wrong with that, but for someone who is considered to be a top-contender for the 2016 Republican nomination for president, one would have thought he would have used his speech to address an area where most presidential candidates are weak – foreign policy.
Despite everything that is happening in Russia, Senator Paul avoided foreign policy in his speech. I know the liberty loving college kids don't want the United States to involve itself in foreign affairs, but foreign policy is one of the most important things a president has to deal with when in office. If Paul wants to be considered a serious and legitimate candidate, he's going to have to find away to be viewed as a serious statesman on foreign affairs.
Rick Santorum: The 2012 Iowa Caucus winner focused his remarks on the GOP's inability to relate to blue-collar working class people. Santorum delivered a good speech, but it was similar to other speeches he has given in the past. His comments critiquing Mitt Romney for his campaign's focus on business owners while never mentioning or acknowledging the workers at those companies makes a lot of sense. Considering the current events going on in the world, it was surprising that Santorum didn't weigh in on the Russian aggression in the Ukraine. Again, a good speech, but not a speech that's going to get people talking about a 2016 race.
Bobby Jindal: Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is intelligent, articulate, and personable, but he lacks the charisma one expects from a presidential candidate. While listening to Jindal speak on Thursday afternoon, I couldn't help but compare him to former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. Should he run for President, I think a lot of people will like him, but I'm not sure he is going to be able to get people passionately support him. All that said, I think Bobby Jindal would be an excellent and highly competent Vice President. Perhaps after serving in that capacity, I could see him being president some day.
Polk County Convention
All of the Republican U.S. Senate candidates spoke at the Polk County GOP convention on Saturday. They all did well, but State Senator Joni Ernst delivered the best speech. Like the rest of the candidates, Ernst shared her background with the audience, but what set her apart was the fact that she was the only one who really went after Democrat Congressman Bruce Braley.
A woman sitting behind me noted how much Ernst has improved as a speaker since getting into the race, and I agree.
Ernst gave the best speech of the U.S. Senate candidates, but I think Mark Jacobs had the most impressive staff. Friendly and polite, the numerous Jacobs staffers offered delegates bags and literature while they were in the lunch line. The ability to have multiple staffers at a convention is a luxury that Jacobs can afford. I was also impressed with the staff and volunteers of the congressional campaigns. The staffs of Ernst, Whitaker, and Clovis were mostly invisible.
All of the congressional candidates did a nice job speaking to the Polk County delegation, but Matt Schultz was in a category all by himself. Schultz is well known, young, and already a statewide office holder. His speaking ability only makes him a more formidable candidate. Schultz impressed me on Saturday; it's obvious he's fired up about his congressional campaign.
The Polk County Convention was long, but it was a good convention. It was nice seeing some of the party's more recognizable figures back as delegates. The caucus-to-convention process is what politics is all about. Seeing high ranking government officials and consultants intermixed with activists was a sight for sore eyes.

Common Mistakes in Kitchen Lighting
Beware the 'glare bomb,' warns Randall Whitehead, IALD.
What's the most common mistake when it comes to kitchen lighting?
Trying to light the entire kitchen with one fixture centered in the ceiling. It ends up being a "glare bomb," visually overpowering everything in the space—including family and friends.
The best lighting layers task, ambient, accent and decorative lighting into an effective blend. No single light source can provide all the necessary illumination.
For example, optimum task light comes between your head and the work surface. That's why the lighting located below the upper cabinets is so effective. If the cabinets don't go all the way to the ceiling, indirect lighting installed on top will provide a soft ambient light. Each layer is an important piece of the puzzle.

HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's largest instant noodle maker Tingyi Holding Corp (0322.HK) plans to form a joint venture with Wakodo, a unit of Japan's beer maker Asahi, to sell infant milk formula and baby products on the Chinese market.
The deal comes at a time when the Chinese government is cracking down on corruption in the infant milk formula sector, a $12.4 billion market expected to double by 2017, and when Japan's Meiji Holdings Co Ltd (2269.T) is pulling out of China due to strong competition.
The joint venture of Tingyi (Cayman Islands) and Wakodo Co Ltd, Asahi Group Holdings Ltd's unit that makes baby food, will have registered capital of $5 million and will mainly be marketing and selling baby products.
The venture will not be involved in any manufacturing, Tingyi's CFO Frank Lin told Reuters on Friday.
The venture, in which Tingyi will hold a 45 percent stake and Wakodo the rest, is awaiting approval from relevant authorities, Tingyi said in a statement on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
Foreign firms control around 40 percent of the baby formula market in China. Among foreign brands, Mead Johnson Nutrition Co MJN.N holds the biggest share, followed by Nestle NESN.VX and Danone, according to data from Rabobank and Euromonitor.
The sector has been embroiled in corruption scandals this year, with Chinese media repeatedly accusing foreign firms, notably France's Danone SA (DANO.PA), of paying bribes to medical staff in return for recommending their brands.

A Twist on a Child's Snack Bowl
Parents are natural problem solvers while children are inherently messy. When Melinda and Brad Shepard's son kept spilling his Cheerios, they searched for a way to give their son the freedom to carry his food around, without the need for constant clean up. When they couldn't find anything, Brad, an engineer, worked with his local community college to create a prototype, then brought it to Enventys to turn it into a spill-resistant snack bowl for on-the-go toddlers everywhere.
User-Driven Industrial Design + Product Development
The Gyro Bowl needed to appeal to both toddlers and parents alike, so the design and the brand were crucial. Our industrial design and engineering teams set out to take the Shepard's prototype and turn it into something parents would appreciate and toddlers could use, and that could be mass-produced and sold in stores.
Our industrial design and engineering teams conceived the bowl-within-a-bowl concept and got to work creating a series of functioning prototypes. Taking inspiration from space, they developed a Saturn-shaped, patented design. Then, the team built a concept model to ensure that the prototype worked as intended, then created a 3D model, an alpha prototype and so on, iterating the prototypes until the design was perfect.
Then, the creative team created a story surrounding the product. They ran with the playful, cosmic theme and a bold logo, brand, package, advertising campaign and website were born under the Gyro Bowl name. The product's branding was playful for children to enjoy, but sophisticated enough to grab parents' attention.
Millions of Units Sold Across the Globe
The Gyro Bowl debuted in a television infomercial, and rolled out into all major retail locations nationwide soon after. The Enventys Partners' public relations team secured top coverage in traditional and non-traditional media channels, including top outlets such as Parenting, FitPregnancy, Disney's FamilyFun and American Baby. To date the Gyro Bowl has sold millions and can be found in over 10 international countries.
PR efforts continued to yeiled exposure for the Gyro Bowl into 2016.

In the United States today, 40 percent of children are born to unmarried parents. Many of the parents in these situations are younger and struggling financially. All this has people rethinking how to handle child support. The system was designed mostly to extract money from paychecks. But a court in Minneapolis is trying a new approach, one that's about more than just the money as it attempts to keep both parents involved in the lives of their kids. From Minnesota Public Radio, Sasha Aslanian reports.
SASHA ASLANIAN, BYLINE: Hennepin County Family Court Judge Bruce Peterson noticed a problem: Young men were showing up for paternity establishment and child support hearings, but the future of their families looked shaky.
JUDGE BRUCE PETERSON: We were telling young dads, congratulations, you're the father legally now, here's your child support obligation. So it was very apparent to me that there was much more work to be done to support these young parents in their parenting obligations towards their children and to each other.
ASLANIAN: Unlike divorce cases, where the couple has a shared history, never-married parents who show up in Peterson's courtroom may not know each other very well. And now they have an 18-year shared endeavor - raising a child together. The drop-off in father involvement is steep.
In 2010, Hennepin County created a Co-Parent Court modeled after problem-solving courts in the criminal system - like drug courts. The idea is that kids will do better with two involved parents, child support will be more consistent and the courts will have fewer conflicts to resolve.
On a recent afternoon, 10 mothers and fathers filled the jury box in Peterson's court room as he explains the experiment they'll be part of.
PETERSON: We understand that if you don't have a comfortable place to live or your health isn't good or you've got other problems that you're worrying about, you can't be an effective parent.
ASLANIAN: Parents are offered help from community agencies to find work or deal with domestic violence, addictions or mental health problems. They're required to participate in four weekly co-parenting sessions so they can write a parenting plan covering everything from holiday schedules to communicating with one another.
Maisha Giles and John Jackson are the parent navigators. Over a lunchtime buffet with six moms, they talk about some things to avoid, like bad-mouthing the other parent in front of the child.
MAISHA GILES: Y'all ever seen this? You know, one parent trying to be the favorite parent?
JOHN JACKSON: You put a punctuation on the end of it like, bet your daddy don't do that. Those kind of little things.
ASLANIAN: One of the moms agrees - it's not a competition.
Joseph Arrondando is a 28-year-old dad who went through Co-Parent Court last year. Arrondando has the name of his 2-year-old son Nasir tattooed on his neck. When Arradondo and Nasir's mom broke up, he says he didn't get to see his toddler son for six months.
JOSEPH ARRADONDO: I couldn't let that happen, because, you know, that's my son, that's my boy. And it's important to me that my son has his father. I grew up in a single-parent household, so I don't understand why any mother would do that to a boy.
ASLANIAN: Arrondando and Nasir's mom were assigned to go through Co-Parent Court and agreed to share custody. Nasir now stays with his dad three days a week and Arrondando's paying child support. Joseph Arrondando says Co-Parent Court held in downtown Minneapolis gave him a chance to show he's not a deadbeat dad.
ARRADONDO: I think more men should go downtown, don't be afraid to go downtown, regardless of if you're afraid that the relationship is going to get even worse. I think you need to go downtown, you know, on the strength of just your child, you know, and ask for time with your children.
ASLANIAN: And it's the children who court administrators will be following up with to see if Co-Parent Court pays off for them.

Have you read the Slackbook? It will definately get you going with GUI and what not. Slackware doesn't come with GUI configured out-of-the-box, so you have to do all the configuration yourself. To solve your problem, look in the X Configuration chapter. You might want to check out the other chapters for internet connection, start-up, and what-not also.

First Trip to the vet!
Coming to the vet can be a little stressful. Just like visiting the doctor for a general health check, we can't help but be nervous that everything will go well. Below is some general information with what will happen when you come in for your first visit:
Booking Appointment – When you call to book and your local Peninsula Vet Care hospital, the reception team will ask if you have been to see us before. If you haven't they will ask a few general details for yourself and pet. When you come in for appointment, please come a few minutes early, as there will be some extra details required with our new patient form (link to form) that needs to be completed. This information in very important for us to get a complete picture of your pet, and any current medication or treatments it is on.
Arriving at the clinic – When you arrive in reception, you will be greeted by our friendly reception team. All our reception team members are nurses, and are experienced in pet care, if you have any concerns or queries with your pet it's a great chance to talk to them. We will usually ask you to weigh your dog when you first come in, and this will be marked on you pets medical history. This weight is used for calculating vaccination/ flea/ worm treatment dosages as well and any other medications that may be required.
When your pets turn come, the Veterinary Surgeon will come and greet you and your pet in reception and take you into a consult room. The Vet will ask you general background questions of your pets health, and if you have any concerns with your pets health and behaviour. Our Vets can discuss many areas of general healthcare with you including:
- Vaccinations
- Heartworm and flea treatments
- Behavioural and environment stimulation for your pet
The vet will then perform a thorough physical examination of your pet. As they can't talk, this examination is vital to assessing the health of you best friend, along with the observations of you there loving owner. The vet will likely listen to your pet's heart, check their temperature, check their joints, teeth and ears during this examination.
Once the check up is complete, the Vet will discuss any things they have found that may require treatment for your pet, and any medications that may be required. Any vaccinations will then be administered via injection if required, and a vaccination card will be completed for your records.
Once finished, you will then be able to finalise your account with the reception team, and book in any reminders or follow-ups for your pet. The reception team can also help you with any further queries you have.
And please remember, we are only a phone call away. If you have any concerns regarding your best friend, please give us a call to discuss.

Hang around here, read and learn about affiliate marketing, and try the different pet vendors around for an afflliate site if you want to pursue that route as a secondary revenue stream.
It takes a while to rank with Google now (figure 6 to 9 months) and it's now starting to take a while longer than it did with Yahoo too, to get a site indexed and ranking. MSN is much quicker, you can start to see something in a month. For starters you'll need to get the basics on on-page SEO down and get quality inbound links - easier with the ecom site, with more avenues of approach.
For your product site, since it's technically "handmade" or "handcrafted" goods, you have additional avenues of promotion and inbound linking from within the crafts industry. Do that right off - you won't find high PR links but it's pretty white hat and you're liable to get inbound traffic to boot. People do spend money on pets, and the holidays are coming up.
Also, for the ecom site (without any hint of affiliate stuff on it), pick exactly the right category and read the guidelines very, *very* carefully and submit to ODP.
You can alter strategies later on, and when you've got rolling a bit you can sign up at Shareasale for a minimal cost and get some sales for your goodies via marketers with pet sites. Again, spend time here learning about the biz since there's a learning curve.

Bumbling surgeon amputates woman's WRONG leg – blames operating table
A SURGEON who amputated the wrong leg of a patient has tried to turn the tables on critics by saying that the operating table was the wrong way round.
The excuse seems unlikely to save bungling Valekh Kerimov who is facing jail in Azerbaijan after accidently removing the 87-year-old woman's healthy left leg instead of the diseased right one.
He claims he amputated the patient's healthy right leg instead because the operating table was "the wrong way round."
Victim Tarlan Mamedova, who suffers from gangrene, is said to be recovering from the procedure but now faces a second op to remove her still-diseased left leg.
Surgeon Kerimov told local media: "The patient has fourth degree atherosclerosis in both of her legs, as well as chronic ischemia.
"Gangrene has spread to both of the woman's legs, however, the process was less intensive on the right one."
Medics had hoped to keep her right leg with local surgery and treatment.
Now police in Baku are investigating the botched operation.
"This is crazy. She got lucky that she woke up after anaesthesia"
A prosecutor's office spokesman said: "A criminal case has been opened."
The bungle has outraged locals on social media.
One identified as Vaz said: "This is crazy. She got lucky that she woke up after anaesthesia.
"They could have simply killed her, and later said that she was supposed to die soon anyway."
Another - Aaman - added: "This is simply the worst thing that can happen.
"Shame on the team, shame on the surgeon. Shame on the medical care."

Restaurants have over 400 locations in the US and in 27 countries,
You can be a food
server or a hostess as long as you promote the company's fun atmosphere and
attention to female sex appeal.
Hooters Girls
have a small sexy uniform with shiny pantyhose and tennis shoes that the
company deems acceptable to communicate the brand image and she is required to
maintain high levels of exercise, grooming and a positive attitude.
Here is how to
become a Hooters Girl:
A hooters girl must
have worked in the food serving industry for at 1 to 2 years. Although
this is not strictly necessary in all locations, popular Hooters locations will
consider experience in a competitive hiring environment.
The minimum age
varies in different states according to the age required to serve alcohol. You
must be 18 or 21 to serve.
Have an outgoing
personality. Hooters Girls are asked to be positive, fun and outgoing. Being a
people person understanding good service and walking around in a skimpy outfit
with shiny pantyhose must be overall ok with you!
Being the "American
Cheerleader" or "Surfer Girl" aesthetic is a real plus. If you
maintain a look like this in everyday life, it is likely that you will be a
candidate for a Hooters Girl job.
Put on a
professional but attractive outfit and visit a local Hooters chain to inquire
about employment preferably a dress and suntan pantyhose. Applications for
employment must be done in person. Bring your resume to Hooters before or after
the lunch rush to apply for a job.
Be engaging
during the interview. While each Hooters location may conduct their interviews
in a slightly different manner, it is likely that you will be asked about your
experience, personality and hobbies.
Know the 52-page
handbook, especially if you succeed in being chosen for a Hooters position.
This book has in depth information about the uniform, Hooters' policies and the
code that must be followed. The Hooters employment rules are fairly strict, so
be sure to read carefully.
Sign a statement
saying you recognize that you may occasionally hear inappropriate comments is a
must. The statement will include language like the following excerpt: "I
hereby acknowledge...the work environment is one in which joking and innuendo
based on female sex appeal is commonplace."
Keep your uniform
clean and tidy. The cost of the shirt, shorts, pantyhose, socks and shoes is
approximately $25. You may need to replace the shirt, socks or pantyhose if
they are dirty, become ripped and no longer presentable at a later date.
Keep your hair,
makeup, exercise and skin within the Hooters Girl guidelines that you
will need to follow to be retained as a Hooters employee:
A Hooters Girl must
maintain a natural, healthy head of hair. Balding women need not apply. The
guidebook advises you to cut your hair every 6 to 8 weeks and only get
highlights if they look natural. You must style your hair as if you were going
out on a date or preparing for a photo shoot, with your hair always down around
your shoulders, but not in your face, at work. Girls are not allowed to wear
their hair wet to work.
Hooters Girl must drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet to maintain
beautiful skin. You are asked to see a dermatologist at your cost if breakouts
happen frequently. The guidebook suggests that you wash your skin morning and
night and use a light moisturizer and powder.
Hooters Girl should wear makeup that accentuates natural beauty. The guidebook
suggests that you wear blended foundation, a light blush, a coat of mascara and
natural eye shadow or eyeliner. It advises you to avoid trends, heavy makeup or
a caked on pasty glamour look.
Hooters Girl must work out at least 3 times per week to maintain a good
physique preferably with a man. The uniform requires that someone be in shape
at all times. The guidebook suggests that you play sports, lift light weights,
do yoga and pilates and maintain an active lifestyle. Good sexual relations
with a man of your choice is sure to keep you glowing.
a good customer service and attendance for shifts. Working in a restaurant
requires some flexibility from week to week, as schedules can change. Being an
energetic and outgoing worker will increase your length of employment and it is
likely to increase your tips. Remember the tips typically will be phenomenal.
So enjoy!

If you live in Nevada, Oregon, Montana or Delaware, you're in luck. Otherwise, go to Canada or Europe and get your bet on for the NFL weekend! All games are Sunday unless otherwise noted.
1. Carolina at Cincinnati (-6.5) — Yes, Bengals star wideout A.J. Green won't play in this game as he continues to battle a toe injury, but the Bengals are still the better team and we don't think it's very close. Add in the fact the Bengals are home and they're playing a team that not only can't run the ball, but has no one to run the ball, quite literally.
2. New York Giants (+3.0) at Philadelphia — The Giants are playing really solid football right now thanks to Eli Manning and a solid running game. The Eagles got off to a hot start, but have started to fade despite a win over the Rams last week that was a little too close for comfort. Lesean McCoy hasn't got anything going so far this year on the ground behind a patchwork offensive line, and Nick Foles is getting beat up.
3. Denver (-9.5) at New York Jets — The Jets have looked like the worst team in football over the past two weeks, and Peyton Manning should have an absolute field day against the Jets secondary that let Philip Rivers go off on them last week.
4. Jacksonville (+6.0) at Tennessee — The Jaguars are still searching for that pesky first win, and to get it, Blake Bortles & Co. will have to travel to Nashville and beat the one-win Titans who haven't won since their season opener. The Jaguars might not get the win, but we feel fairly confident they can keep it close.
5. Dallas at Seattle (-8.0) — Hate to burst your bubble here, but this game shouldn't be a one-score game. That's not a knock on the Cowboys, but instead a statement of the Seahawks' dominance at home. The Cowboys should be able to keep it close with their rushing attack, but in that environment things can go downhill quickly. I'd say the final is a two-score margin in Seattle's favor.
Last week:3-2.2014 season:10-10.

Back in 2005, Daniel Whitney, better known to the world as redneck comedian Larry the Cable Guy, received a fax from his management company.
They asked him if he was interested in being the voice of a buck-toothed tow truck named Mater in an upcoming Disney-Pixar animated film titled "Cars." The Nebraska native wasn't quite sure how to react. He had struggled as a stand-up comic since 1985, but finally caught a break in 2000 when he became part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour alongside comics Bill Engvall, Ron White and Jeff Foxworthy.
"They sent me that letter and asked me if I wanted the part of the 'small town tow truck' and I knew it was a movie directed by the guy who did 'Toy Story,' John Lasseter, but in all honesty, I had no idea what it was," Whitney says during a recent phone interview. He says he then called his manager and asked where he would have to go to audition for the part and his manager informed him that he was already being offered the gig.
"I put down the phone and I put down the paper and started to cry," he recalls. "I was so happy. I remember that moment. It was so awesome, but I would have never have thought on that day in a million years that it would have turned into what it has turned into."
As he researched more into his character he began to see what "Cars" creator, director and executive producer John Lasseter had seen all along – Larry the Cable Guy was a perfect fit for Mater the tow truck.
"I said 'Yep, they picked the right guy'," he says. "I'm kind of like the real life Mater. My wife said that to me, but I think I have nicer teeth. But the way he acts is honestly how I've been acting my whole life outside of entertainment – just as myself. It was really close to me which is why I think I did such a good job with it. I knew what Mater was all about so I was really able to bring it to life."
Whitney went on to voice Mater again in "Cars 2" in 2011 and is now excited to be apart of the Cars Land attraction opening at Disney's California Adventure on June 15, where Mater the tow truck has his very own Junkyard Jamboree ride. According to the Disney website, the ride is hosted by Mater and guests board a small trailer pulled by baby tractors and are treated to some country-style music sung by Mater himself. Whitney, who grew up in Nebraska but also lived in Florida, shares that he has never been to Disneyland in California, but has fond memories of family vacations and field trips to Disney World. He's looking forward to sharing his "Cars" ride fame with his wife Cara and two small children, Wyatt, 5, and Reagan, 4.
"Oh heck yeah my kids are coming out with me when we do this," he says of making his first trip to the happiest place on earth this month.
Since his kids were too young to realize that Mater was actually their father in the first film installment, Whitney says that now, with a second film and all of the promotion surrounding it, as well as the opening of Cars Land, his kids are finally making the connection.
"I took my little boy to preschool and we walked in and there was a Mater and he said 'Hey Dad, there you are'," he recalls. "My little girl too, if she sees a Mater now she says 'That's my Dad.' That feels pretty good. It's got to be weird for my kids though because I was touring so heavily when they were born and I got this tour bus and we really traveled around probably 210 days a year together on that bus, then they see their dad as a cartoon or see me on a commercial – I think they figured that that's what all dads did but now I think they realize that not every dad does what I do."
Whitney, who turned 49 this year, says that this summer he's finally taking two months off – in June and July – to spend some much needed time with his family. In August, however, he returns to film another season of "Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy" on the History channel and he has stacked up comedy show dates in between his filming schedule as well. He is also a part of an animated feature that he, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Lisa Lampanelli created for CMT and he will continue to do commercials for the gastro esophageal reflux disease drug Prilosec, a product he says he's not only the face for but uses frequently.
Though his pal Lisa Lampanelli did a season of "Celebrity Apprentice" only to be fired by Donald Trump after making it to the top four, Whitney has no desire or interest in appearing on the show. He did toy with the idea of appearing on the last season of "Dancing With the Stars," but ultimately turned down his offer to spend more time at home. After seeing himself on an episode of "Only in America," in which he was standing next to the Naked Cowboy in New York City, he realized he needed to lose some weight.
"I got me a trainer on Feb. 20 and I've gone from 289 all the way down to 242," he shares. "I going to go down about another 20, I want to get to 220. I guess I'm going to have to get rid of some of the fat jokes from my act."
