Just yesterday, Nokia took to the stage at Mobile World Congress to unveil its latest Windows Phone, the Lumia 610. Curiously, the company also surprised us with two new Windows Phone applications, affectionately known as Nokia Reading and Nokia Transport. We've since taken to the show floor and happened to grab demonstrations of both apps, each shown off by the creators themselves. Join us after the break as we explore Nokia's latest offerings.

Cruise Passengers Returning Home After Being Robbed in Mexico

KTLA News

5:13 p.m. PST, February 25, 2012

LONG BEACH (KTLA) -- Nearly two dozen cruise ship passengers are headed back to the Port of Long Beach after they were robbed at gunpoint during a trip in Mexico.

The passengers reportedly were returning to their Carnival Splendor cruise ship from an inland tour in Puerto Vallarta on Thursday when armed bandits stopped their bus and robbed them.

Luckily, no one was hurt and all passengers were returned to the ship safely.


Carnival released a statement saying it sincerely apologizes to its guests for this "very unfortunate and disturbing event and is providing full support and assistance."

The cruise line is helping victims find lost passports and other identification and is reimbursing for any lost valuables.

The tour, which features a guided nature trail hike and is part of the cruise, has been suspended at this time.

Earlier this month the U.S. State Department issued a travel warning to Mexico after tourism officials expressed concern over the rising crime rate in the country.

Driven Bird and Raising Hope stand parallel at Poole card ? Owners ...

Driven Bird and Raising Hope stand parallel at Poole card ? Owners Bonus Series Final Preview

A high-profile Grade KS race of Owners Bonus Series Final is going to be held at 450m Flat track of Poole on Tuesday night, February 21. The contest contains a big prize money worth of ?500.

Following six hounds are geared up to fight for the ace title:

1: Senahel Said

2: Lorna Doone

3: Charity At Home

4: Raising Hope

5: Ballyoak Lord

6: Driven Bird

As the event is drawing near, we present here a brief preview of all the runners for the special guidance of the bookmakers who are going to stake their money in the market tonight. This analysis is based on the key career records and recent performances of each of the entries.

Senahel Said

B black?s black bitch has not won a single race since October 2011. Her last victory came on September 18. This long lean patch has badly tarnished the veteran runner?s stamina and spirit. As a whole, she has not been so impressive throughout her career.

Now, she seems to be totally off-coloured. In tonight?s clash, she is not likely to make any impact.

?Lorna Doone

D Heard?s novice runner has been winless since the very beginning of her career. Making debut in November 2011, the black bitch has run for five times so far. She finished 2nd each in her last two races. She will land at Poole tonight with an aim to register her maiden success, but her chances to win are as low as 40 percent.

Charity At Home

The J Cheshire-trained black bitch too has not won a single event since her maiden victory on November 21, 2011. This long failure streak has downed her morale greatly. She finished 2nd in her last outing on February 14, 2012. As a whole, she does not have enough firepower to unleash tonight. She may finish 2nd or 3rd.

Raising Hope

Since her debut in December 2011, S Gresham?s black bitch has won just one race so far. Her first and last victory came on February 14, 2012. Being 7-4 favourite, she delivered well and defeated her rivals by 1 ? lengths. This success has raised her confidence to a great extent.

The daughter of Royal Impact out of Farloe Mirror is likely to show a big run again tonight and bag her second straight success. Her chances to win are as high as 80 percent.

Ballyoak Lord

The trainee of K Elliott has been winless since making his debut in November 2011. The black dog finished third in his last race on February 14. Thus, he is not supposed to do anything bigger even tonight. However, he may get third spot.

Driven Bird

Trained by D Heard, the black bitch won her last race on February 14 marvellously at the same track. This victory came after a long gap of 9 defeats. She had a fabulous hat-trick during January 2011. The stats show that the bitch possesses enough talent but she is somewhat inconsistent.

For tonight?s contest, she is regarded as a joint favourite with Raising Hope. But her chances to win are no more than 77 percent.

Conclusion

The above analysis shows that Raising Hope and Driven Bird are going to have a tough tussle for the series title---the former has higher chances to win. Among other four hounds, Lorna Doone is expected to unleash reasonable struggle for victory. Let us see who walks away with the ace title. Get ready for the mega action. Good luck to all the runners.

Losing My Religion ? Should Anyone Care? The Social and ...

bible and rosaryReligion gets a lot of bad PR these days.? Some of it is certainly deserved.? Much, I would argue, is not.? But all of that begs the question, ?Does religion?provide any objective purpose for the psychological health of the person and the good of society??

Benefits of Religious Faith:? All in Your Head?

It?s an important question, especially as more and more people jettison religious faith in favor of more subjective, personal, spiritualities.? According to the Pew Research Center, the rate of 18-29 year olds jettisoning religion has doubled from 8% to 16% over the last 10 years.

If religion is merely a personal affectation?something done in private for one?s own pleasure?then throwing it over for a more self-styled spirituality?or nothing at all?just makes sense.? But what if religion?offers more specific and robust?benefits to?psychological health and the health of society than personal spirituality?? What if there?are objective?benefits to following a specific creed, participating in specific rituals, and actively associating and worshipping with a particular group on a regular basis?

Does the person and society as a whole lose something if it jettisons, specifically, religious faith?

A Question of Science, Not Faith.

I want to be clear that these questions go beyond both?the truth claims of any particular religion and the issue of whether religion is personally meaningful or not.? The question of?any objective benefit?of?religion to the person?or society?is really one of social science?psychology, anthropology, and sociology, especially.? Obviously, religious people subjectively?think that religion is useful, but why? Perhaps they?re just deluded.? Psychologists going all the way back to Freud have argued that possibility.? Does it really all just come down to religion giving people a warm-fuzzy feeling inside?? ?And why should non-religious people care about religion at all?

Freedom and Dignity

It would be easy to say that religion concerns itself with ?the big questions.?? But the truth is, no one needs religion to (with apologies to Douglas Adams) contemplate life, the universe, and everything.? Almost everyone is fully capable of asking those questions without a creed, rituals, or?a group to support them.

But I would argue that what a person and society does need religious faith for is to proclaim and protect the dignity of the human person and the value of authentic freedom.??Atheists like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins have correctly noted that you don?t really need religion to be?moral or good.???? But?even a casual look at the data seems to suggest that?as religiosity of a particular society decreases, human rights abuses increase.

As a society actively (like in communist countries) or passively (as in the consumerist West) stamps out religion (and?I?m not just speaking of Judeo-Christian faiths, but?virtually all religious faiths)?two things happen:??First, society begins to see people as things.? Second, people begin to see themselves as things.? And when people become depersonalized, ?thing-ified? if you will, psychosocial health suffers to the point of non-existence.

Reason?Without Faith is Nihilism

People are capable of great feats of reason on their own, but without religion, people struggle with significance.? There?s an old saying that goes, ?Some people know the price of everything but the value of nothing.?? That?s reason without faith.?? Without faith, people too easily begin to think of themselves and each other as things, as merely means to a particular end.? Every person has a price.? But no one is valued.

Religion:??Meet Needs AND Respect the Person?

Human beings tend to be pragmatic by nature and we stink at delaying gratification.? We see a need and we want to fill that need in the quickest way possible.? Unfortunately, the quickest way to fill a need usually involves treating people (others and ourselves) as things.? When?I?m hurting, the last thing I?m prone to care about is human dignity and?freedom.??I just want to meet my need.? Now.? By any means possible.??What?s the quickest way to meet a sexual need?? Porn or prostitution.? What?s the quickest way to win a domestic argument??? Treat my spouse like a punching bag.? What?s the quickest way to meet an economic need?? Treat workers like slaves.?? What?s the quickest way to achieve a political goal?? Treat people like?cattle to be hearded?instead of citizens?deserving of?respect.

And though these may be the quickest means to meet particular ends, they are hardly means that respect the dignity and worth of the human person.? The thing is, it is difficult to object to these practices on reason alone.? All reason can tell us is that people are bags of meat.?Reason can tell us that consciousness exists, but it?can?t tell?us the significance of that fact.? Reason can tell us that, generally speaking, it?s?better for me to treat others with respect?unless I can get away with doing otherwise.???If I have the power to shield myself from the consequences of my actions, why?shouldn?t I treat people as things if it would benefit me?? It simply isn?t reasonable to think otherwise.

Likewise, because they are personal, individual spiritualites tend not to stand up well to social pressure.? Individual spiritualities thrive where religions have made it safe for them to grow.? But when religous faith is stamped out, mere pragmatism?the organized thing-ification of persons?kills spirituality altogether.

The more a person is treated, or treats themselves as a thing, the more they break down.? The cost of porn?? Sexual addiction, depression, lost work hours, broken marriages and families.? The cost of prostitution and sexual trafficking?? Post-traumatic stress, depression, addiction.? The cost of domestic violence?? Depression, suicide, anxiety, addiction, broken marriages and families, and an increase in?all manner of psychosocial disorders in?children.?? The cost of inhumane working conditions?? Depression, suicide, anxiety.? The cost of political oppression?? All of the above.

The Life You Save May Be Your Own

When mainstream?religious faith is in conflict with a particular society as a whole, or with particular groups within a society, it is almost always because?a religious faith is asserting that?a?particular means by which a person or society is?attempting to?satisfy a particular need?runs contrary to the?dignity?or freedom of the human person.

Whatever you think of the nature of their respective creeds, Christianity, Buddhism, Falun Gang, are all mercilessly persecuted in China because they assert that persons must be more than cogs in the system.? Whatever you think of their particular claims,?progressive Christianity came under attack during the civil rights movement just as ?traditional Christianity is?now under legislative attack?in the US because it asserts that certain efficient means of solving social problems are beneath the dignity of the human person.? In every case, it is organized, religious faith?much more than even individualized spiritualities which, because they are personal, tend to be easily subverted by outside pressures?that has the power to inspire people to realize that they are worth more than others (and even they, themselves) say they are.? It is religious faith that consistently asserts, as?point of revelation as?opposed to mere reason, ?that people must be treated as persons, not things.

Moreover, it is organized?religious faiths, more than personal spiritualities, that have the organizational?power to demand social change and?encourage?personal growth and change in a manner that is respectful of the person and the groups those persons participate in (family, work, society).

So, whether you are a believer or not,?the next time?religious faith stands in opposition to a pet solution you favor, stop and consider whether your impulse is driven by a pragmatism that has not considered the dignity and worth of the people around you.????As Flannery O?Connor once put it, the life you save may be your own.

Phone Booths Reincarnated As Bookshelves Finally Make Phone Booths Useful [Art]

If you pay close attention to the streets of any city, you might notice the boxy, armored shields that house telephones. Yes! Phone booths still exist. Of course no one ever uses them because everyone has a cell phone but yet they still stand, like unwavering artificial trees. But what if we convert phone booths to bookshelves? Hmm... More »

Read These Suggestions If You Would Like To Have A Much Better ...

To greatly enhance your home, attempt to transform your main garage. This could be a cheap way to boost your residence?s overall size. Quite seldom you will need planning permissions so long as you are not increasing the garage. Makes use of the extra space to be the bedchamber, playroom, workplace or kitchen area extension, etc. You?ll be able to add in plumbing and then convert it into a bathroom too.

Start using unwanted tooth brushes to clean. Whether you will be cleaning around the tap of the kitchen sink or bathing room lavatory or cleaning engine components, old toothbrushes perform the job excellent. Even better, they?re free of charge! Why acquire a brand new scrub brush and throw-away a thing that still has a lot of useful life left in it. Conserve that money for something different.

Choose satin coloring in an location that could need to have constant cleaning. Satin painting features a beautiful gloss, and is appropriate for family areas as well as your child?s room, and also the bathing room or even kitchen, as it is extremely simple to clean. Keep in mind that touch-ups could be challenging, as a distinction in sheen could be apparent.

A simple method to improve your bathroom is simply by painting it. Consistently use a silk / acrylic or simply semi-gloss paint, as this can be a lot more mildew proof when compared with plain fresh paint, and may also be cleaned much more effortlessly. When selecting a color, take into account the size of your rest room. If it is quite small, in that case opt for a light color. Generally if the ceiling is without a doubt of low or typical level, then take into account coloring it a tone or shade paler when compared to the walls. This will create the optical illusion that the ceiling is higher.

Property improvement costs often go through the roof when homeowners neglect to consider non-livability into consideration when scheduling a radical redesign. In case you cannot prepare food within your kitchen or bath in your bathing room, you will end up eating at restaurants a whole lot and maybe living at a conventional hotel for several nights. These fees always add up quickly in the event you aren?t planning on them all. Add another line for your spending budget just for meal plus lodging if needed.

Think about modernizing a bath room since, similar to the kitchen, this space is quite beneficial, also. It can simply be improved without a lot of funds. Experiment with simple details like a brand new toilet seat or possibly a nicer looking basin. They?re able to completely transform the appearance and feel in the bathroom. Furthermore, attempt swapping out the floor tiles, wall surfaces, and grouting your shower and tub.

Any time you?re doing your bath room transformation, consider not swapping the bathtub; simply have the item refinished. If you have a porcelain coated spa tub, you?ll find firms which will coat again the old tub and make it appear brand-new. They?re able to also put a brand new finish over the older out dated porcelain tile above the tub without having to take it down. There is certainly no cause to go through the price of swapping out unless there?s water damage.

House remodeling really can be a creative endeavor, although that does not mean it?s limited to experts or serious property improvers. That inspiring endeavor may be liked by anyone, at any kind of remodeling ability level. These suggestions have been included here to help people of pretty much all levels find their own way to property improvement.

EZ Step Bath to Shower Conversions delivers reasonably priced walk in showers as well as other bath room remodeling products and solutions that will lower your expenses when compared to standard walk in shower home improvements. Developed from high-quality components, these types of bath remodeling operations are done by nationwide accredited technicians. For additional information, take a look at http://www.tubtoshower.com

Prostate Cancer, the Understanding

February 15th, 2012 by admin

Modern people nowadays actually have become so involved in their business and works in order to achieve any goals in their life. Yet, such kind of behavior actually will cause many troubles especially to their health. It is because those people often neglect to take care of their health.

Such kind of ignorance about health condition may lead in having any dangerous disease such as prostate cancer. So, what is it actually? I bet that many people still have no idea about such disease right? Therefore I want to give explanation about it.

Prostate cancer is the prostate enlargement because of the testosterone conversion to gihydro-testoterones. Such cancer often occurs in men actually. In this case, knowing about?prostate cancer warning signs can really become the best effort in overcoming the disease.

The procedure of registering a trademark in ... - Raw Business Law

BlankBackground.jpg

There are plenty of goods and services available in the market and it increases the confusion of the consumer. There are also many duplicate products available which are continuously decreasing the brand image of the established product. To overcome this situation whenever any product enters into the market it always contains some identification mark. This identification mark is also known as trademark.

Trademark is a unique sign used by business organizations, individuals or other legal entity to differentiate their product and services from those of others. It is a sign or indicator to identify the product. Logo, symbol, image, word, name phrase or amalgamations of all these elements are known as trademark. It is an asset for the company. trademark registration is a legal procedure of registering trademark. Trademark registration is done by owner of the trademark for the protection from any kind of unauthorized used. Trademark is also known as ?Service Mark? when used in relation to service. Trademark registration provides several benefits to the owner of the trademark as he can make legal proceedings and file suit against the person or organization making unauthorized use of the trademark. Trademark registration is being done under ?The Trademark Act, 1999 for the convenience of the owner and consumer of the goods and services. Under the Trademark Act, 1999 an exclusiv e right of selling the goods under particular trademark has been given to the owner of the goods and service.

Trademark protection is very important from the point of view of owner and consumer. Trademark protection provides relief and security against any unlawful act. It helps proprietor to protect his product and services. All the benefits of trademark protection can be enjoyed after the registration of trademark. Every country follows one definite procedure of trademark registration. If we talk about India then Indian Trademark Act also protects the right of the owner and give benefit to the consumer of the product. From 1940 onwards trademark started in India. Before that there was no such law governing the trademark. Initially The Trademark Act in India has been replaced by The Trade and Merchandise Mark Act, 1958 and later on it has been officially cancelled and then governed by The Trademark Act, 1999. Trademark registration in India is generally for the duration of 10 years. It can be renewed further for 10 yrs but only after the payment of the prescribed fee. Trademark r egistration in India protects the goodwill of the product and the same time also helps a lot for obtaining registration in foreign countries. There are several ?Trademark Attorney? in India, serving their clients and providing them legal advice, helping in the trademark registration in india. A person acting in trademark matters or a firm providing professional, expert and legal advice on trademark or trademark registration can be treated as a trademark attorney. They provide useful and reliable information.

At the time of company incorporation, a wise individual not only follow all the required procedure of the company incorporation but also try to get the trademark for the product. It is always advisable to obtain the company incorporation certificate or certificate of commencement of business for the purpose of providing legal support to the firm. Certificate of company incorporation and Trademark registration both are equally important for the smooth running of company and goodwill of the product.

LinkedIn surges, setting the tone for social media

Managers of LinkedIn celebrate as the company goes public in May, 2011.

By Roland Jones

Shares of professional-networking website LinkedIn surged Friday, jumping 18 percent, after the company reported quarterly sales that more than doubled and passed a major milestone, chalking up 150 million registered users worldwide.

Michael Graham, an Internet analyst at Canaccord Genuity, raised his earnings estimate for the company, writing in a research note that LinkedIn has taken ?another step on the path toward becoming the default global hiring solution.?

The growth in users cements LinkedIn?s position as the largest professional network on the Internet. The company?s performance and outlook is keenly watched by investors as an indication of whether the business model of Internet companies is solid -- especially in light of Facebook?s filing for an IPO last week.

Facebook?s public offering looks set to be one of the largest and most talked about in recent memory and follows public offerings from other companies in the social media space, including Groupon, Pandora, Zynga and LinkedIn.

Started in the living room of ex-PayPal executive Reid Hoffman in 2002 and officially launched in May 2003, LinkedIn is similar to Facebook in that it connects people but it is much smaller and is geared towards professionals.

It makes money by selling premium subscriptions to its members and by helping companies with hiring and marketing. Its services are also used by professionals seeking jobs or contacts.

Speaking on CNBC Friday about his company?s strong quarter, LinkedIn?s CEO Jeff Weiner said the company is able to grow in any economic environment.

?When times get tough, when there?s macroeconomic uncertainty, we see a number of people turning to LinkedIn, specifically turning to their networks, specifically for job security,? he said. ?But by the same token when the economy starts to improve and recruiting starts to pick up that benefits the hiring solutions business.?

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company said it saw double-digit revenue growth in its subscription base in the fourth quarter and its marketing solutions, while revenue from its hiring solutions product showed triple-digit revenue growth.

Shares of LinkedIn are up 41 percent so far this year, outperforming the?Standard & Poor's 500, which has grown 7 percent. But not every new tech company in the recent rash of social media IPOs has performed as well.

Earlier this week, daily deals website Groupon surprised Wall Street by failing to make a profit since becoming a publicly-traded company in late 2011. It saw a fourth-quarter net loss of $42.7 million. That?s better than one year ago, when it saw a loss of $378.6 million, but still disappointing to analysts who had expected a small profit.

Shares of Groupon are essentially flat for the year.

Canaccord Genuity?s Graham cautions that LinkedIn could face threats in the future. Facebook and Google+ have not made significant moves into LinkedIn?s business, but were they to do so it could hurt LinkedIn?s growth and profitability, he said.

Also, given that LinkedIn has penetrated a majority of the U.S. market for knowledge workers, the company is dependent upon international markets for the majority of its member growth. If LinkedIn is unable to roll out strong local-language sites at a rapid enough pace, or if potential international members don't find the service compelling, member growth could stall, Graham said.

Reuters contributed to this report.

Is It possible To Learn Currency Trading And Make A Full Time ...

Currency trading, also known as Foreign Exchange (Forex), is just one of the many avenues people explore when looking at ways to make an income from home. Gaining financial independence is something many of us dream about, and taking the time to learn currency trading does offer people a glimmer of hope. The question is, is it really possible to make a full time income from trading on the foreign exchange markets?

The answer to that question really depends on the individual involved. Yes it is possible to make a full time income from Forex trading, and many people have successfully achieved this, but it is also possible to lose a great deal of money if you do not go about things the right way. The statistics tell us that over 90% of the people who try their hand at trading the currency markets fail, so taking the time to properly learn currency trading and all its aspects is imperative.

One of the most important aspects of trading the currency markets is ensuring you have a large enough trading pot to start off with. It is not unusual to suffer some losses at the beginning of your trading career, as you fine tune your trading strategies and get used to how it all works in a live trading environment. You should have enough money set aside for trading to cover these potential early losses, otherwise you could find yourself taken out of the game before you have had chance to make a profit.

When you learn currency trading you will also need some kind of trading system or strategy to guide you. You may be able to develop your own trading system, or you may want to adopt a system that has been designed by someone else already. There are lots of resources available on the internet that can provide you with more information on both approaches to finding a trading system. When you do have a system to follow, it is vital that you stick to it. Many trading systems are designed with occasional losses in mind, as it is impossible to completely avoid them. You should be disciplined and follow the rules of your trading system through to the end of your trade, even if you are tempted to override it.

Taking the time to properly learn currency trading is probably the thing that is most key to becoming a successful trader. Jumping in and trying to trade without gaining proper knowledge of the markets is usually a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately this is what many people do, and they become the part of the 90% who end up throwing all their money away on a pure gamble. If you really want to find financial independence using Forex, learn currency trading inside out before you lay any money down.

Follow These Hints For Easy Home Improvement ? Travel Centired ...

With the right advice, you can tackle almost any home improvement project. If you are planning on making improvements to your home, follow the helpful tips in this article.

To save some energy yet still light up your yard, switch out your standard porch lights for lights that operate on a motion sensor. You will still be able to turn the light on manually when you need to, and the motion detector can be adjusted for sensitivity.

One important home improvement project is to create a pathway that takes water away from the walls of your foundation. One way to do this is by sloping the angle of your yard towards the street. Another option is to lengthen your drainage gutters so they empty away from your house.

There are new light bulbs far more efficient than the old incandescent ones. Replacing all the old ones with the new is a good idea. Switching to energy efficient light bulbs will help to lower your electric bill. You will also save money on bulb replacements because energy efficient bulbs last much longer than regular ones. Use modern, energy efficient bulbs instead.

A landscaping project can enhance the beauty of your property. Add nice flowers, shrubs, plants, vines, mulches and other nice stones to make your landscape look better. Landscaping adds value to your property and also give your home curb appeal.

Apply an asphalt sealant to your driveway to keep it from weathering and cracking. Sun and precipitation can cause damage to your driveway. The damage can be bigger if you already have cracks in your driveway because water will get into them and cause expansion in cold weather. By guarding your driveway against the weather sealants provide longevity for your driveway.

Look at the low areas around your property, including those near the foundation of the house. Low areas on your property should get filled in with compacted soils so that water does not pool here during storms and cause erosion. Water which gets into your home can cause wood rot, electrical problems, and even foundation concerns.

Do not be afraid of new ideas, but do them slowly when you are dealing with the world of home improvement. If someone else has successfully completed the project, it?s probably not that hard. If you consider these suggestions, you will be able to improve your home without any issues.

Kidnapped Chinese workers in Sudan freed (Reuters)

KHARTOUM/BEIJING (Reuters) ? Sudanese rebel forces released 29 Chinese workers kidnapped ten days ago in the main oil-producing state of South Kordofan, where the army has been fighting insurgents for seven months, Sudan's foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

The incident had been an embarrassment for the Sudanese government, which is trying to boost investment from China, its main political and trade ally, as it seeks to overcome a severe economic crisis.

Rebels of the SPLM-North said they had taken the construction workers for their own security after a battle with the Sudanese army in South Kordofan, which borders newly independent South Sudan.

But the workers had apparently become caught up in a dispute between Khartoum and rebels who are trying to attract attention to the plight of 417,000 civilians who have fled fighting in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, another Sudanese border state.

Khartoum has restricted access for aid workers and the United Nations in both states, triggering warnings by the United States that a large-scale famine could break out.

The Sudanese foreign ministry said the 29 Chinese workers were flown out from Kauda in South Kordofan by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to neighboring Kenya.

"The Sudanese foreign ministry affirms to the government and people of China that Sudan's government seeks to protect Chinese investments and workers involved in it," a ministry statement said.

SPLM-North rebel spokesman Arnu Ngutulu Lodi and an ICRC official in Khartoum declined to comment.

Top officials of the SPLM-North last week met Chinese officials in Ethiopia.

Both Sudanese border states are home to large communities who used to side with the south during decades of civil war with Khartoum and now complain of marginalization after Juba became independent in July under a peace deal.

The SPLM is now the ruling party in the independent south and denies supporting SPLM-North rebels across the border, as Khartoum says.

China is an ally of both north and south and the main buyer of South Sudanese oil as well the biggest investor in Sudan.

Western diplomats say China has the best chance of defusing tensions between Khartoum and Juba, which are locked in a row over sharing oil wealth, dividing up debt and ending violence on both sides of their joint.

CHINESE PRESSURE

The kidnap was the third abduction of Chinese people in Sudan since 2004 and highlighted the risks to China's expansion in Africa in search of minerals and energy.

Beijing had faced immense pressure to secure the safe return of the abducted workers. State-owned newspapers called for more protection for China's overseas workers as the world's second-largest economy expands its investments around the globe.

The workers belonged to state-owned Sinohydro Corporation, a hydropower engineering and construction company.

A total of 47 Chinese workers were present when the SPLM-North rebels originally attacked. Eighteen fled and one was killed after a rescue attempt, according to Chinese media.

Khartoum counts on China to boost investment as it seeks to overcome the loss of three-quarters of its oil production to South Sudan when it became independent under a 2005 peace agreement ending the civil war with Khartoum.

Most Western firms shun Sudan due to a U.S. trade embargo imposed first in 1997 when Khartoum was hosting prominent militants such as Osama bin Laden.

SPLM-North is one of a number of rebel movements in underdeveloped border areas who say they are fighting to overthrow Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and end what they see as the dominance of the Khartoum political elite.

Where you might not be shopping in 2012

Yes, the worst seems to be over for retailers. But that doesn?t mean things are great, or that there aren?t too many stores.

Holiday sales jumped 4.5 percent over 2010, thanks to a strong final push. The roughly 3,000 store closings announced by U.S. chains in 2011 was down considerably from the 5,000-plus announced in 2010, according to RetailTraffic, an industry publication.

Still, the business is a long way from where it was a few years ago. Sears is struggling. Big department stores like Macy?s and J.C. Penney are treading water, while major apparel sellers like Gap and Talbots whose offerings don?t match changing fashion preferences are losing market share and shrinking store counts.

Forbes.com slideshow: See the places where you might not shop this year

RetailTraffic posits that store closings could spike back up in 2012 as consumer electronic chains become the next to retrench amid price pressure from Wal-Mart and a lack of any new hot items. Meantime, store openings will likely come from the likes of Dollar Stores and Family Dollar, along with Wal-Mart.

?The extreme value guys,? says Howard Davidowitz, chairman of New York-based retail consultant Davidowitz & Associates. So which chains are shutting down the most locations?

Start with Borders, the bookseller that lost its battle with Amazon and Barnes & Noble for good in 2011, with the liquidation of its remaining 633 locations. It?s joined on our list by the other perennial struggler of recent years: Blockbuster, the movie rental outlet purchased out of bankruptcy last spring by Dish Network that announced more than 400 closings in 2011, close to a quarter of its stores. That leaves the company with roughly 1,300 stores still operating, but Davidowitz says the dynamics of the movie rental industry would make it a surprise if Blockbuster is still operating in five years. Stay tuned. (Note: store closing figures are based on announced closures in 2011, not all of which are necessarily carried out right away).

Forbes.com: Why retailers succeed or fail

Apparel is also a tough grind, particularly for those chains whose merchandising mix doesn?t hit consumer tastes right on. Gap announced 189 store closings last fall, about a fifth of its flagship locations, the latest segment of a downsizing plan that began in 2007 and is expected to be fully implemented by 2013. Gap is shifting more merchandise to its outlet stores, which are increasing in number. Talbots, traditionally a seller of apparel to mature women, is now planning to reduce its fleet by a net 100 stores (18 percent) after its attempt to expand its customer base to younger women didn?t meet expectations.

Another segment that took a hit during the recession: casual dining. Friendly?s, which declared bankruptcy in October, said it?s shutting down 63 of its 487 stores. Friendly?s biggest problem: hanging on to the same basic menu for years as creative competitors like Panera Bread hit the scene. The owner of Friendly?s, private-equity firm Sun Capital Partners, is reportedly looking to sell.

Sometimes shutting down underperforming units isn?t a sign of problems. Abercrombie & Fitch, which is on pace to grow revenue to $4.2 billion for the 12 months ending Jan. 31 from $3.5 billion a year earlier, announced plans in 2011 to close down a net 49 stores, about 15 percent of its total.

Forbes.com: Yes, the new J.C. Penney can succeed

?In this case the closings are a sign of strength,? says Davidowitz. ?You should always be culling your good stores and closing your bad ones.?

Cardio Action For Internal Wellbeing: Cardio Action Helps Mental ...

Cardio exercise exercise enormously grows people?s our blood-air source. The huge benefits extend to every single aspect and structure within your body, such as mental faculties. The harder air mental performance draws, the higher it could possibly perform.

An substandard method to obtain air provides incoherent views, faintness, and fainting. Devoid of air, minds continue to die inside of about 5 minutes. I remember when i experienced an mother who suffered with constant emphysema immediately after cigarette smoking the lifestyle. As she neared the completed, she constantly complained about experiencing pay day loan Not surprisingly, this is simply because her mental faculties was getting so little air that they would not store consistent views.

An unconditioned man or women, who will not do regular aerobic exercise but is normally healthful, won?t have the exact faintness and incoherency as an individual with constant emphysema, but his brain is far away from working at the summit functionality that it is capable of. Usually, bodily unconditioned pupils employ a lower educative understanding and have difficulties discovering, due simply to reduced storage strength. Not surprisingly, there are several relegations for this tip. Some unconditioned pupils might succeed educationally, however the functionality is not as superior as what cash advance today could possibly be.

Regular aerobic exercise will have a tendency to improve the brain?s air source. A good slight increase in the air level produces a recognizable improvement. Having an enriched air, provide mental faculties is effective considerably more properly. Your head is more clear and even more warn. Focus might be more quickly on target. Reminiscence boosts, creating discovering easier.

Regular aerobic exercise may also significantly have an affect on people?s persona and home-self-discipline. In armed forces development just like Western world Level it is actually mentioned unconditioned cadets have a much greater drop out altogether amount simply because are not able to take up the education and self-discipline of armed forces lifestyle. Usually, their pozycjonowanie stron understanding is also lower.

Over time, the end results of standard aerobic exercise deliver a incredibly conspicuous improvement in the model?s home-picture and a feeling of home-worthy of. It is an optimistic impact on people?s mind-arranged towards each objective arranged just before him. The recognizable alterations and advancements in his human body bring a substantial a feeling of fulfillment which transposes on its own into a mindset of home-self-confidence.

In armed forces facilities like Western world Level, the place self-discipline and health are a should, it is actually established that this finest players tend to be also the finest pupils and stay the very best representatives. Kenneth M. Cooper, air Pressure medical professional who submitted the guidebook on aerobic exercise to the You.Azines. Oxygen Pressure and Deep blue (also utilized by the Elegant Canadian Oxygen Pressure), mentioned spectacular conversions in the biological imperative in the cadets. While they evolved into programmed by aerobic exercise, introverts evolved into extroverts, and the susceptible to stress and anxiety evolved into home-self-confident and made it possible to relax more quickly.
