Sichuan-eu Trade Week 2008 Opens Today
Chengdu Enterprises Learn Experiences in the Shoemaking Kingdom
On the morning of July 21, Chen Xiao, general manager of Chengdu Fangyu Shoemaking Industrial Co., Ltd., embarked on his tour to Italy with a case of promotional materials. Along with him, there are other general managers from over 30 clothing and shoemaking enterprises in Chengdu. They will take part in the "Sichuan-EU Trade Week 2008", which will be held from July 21, and will have a "zero contact" with the international brands.
Learn the experiences from shoemaking kingdom
"Italy is the kingdom of shoemaking and the cradle of women's shoes. They take the lead in the world in terms of the shoe-making techniques". The 21-year-old Chen Xiao is the youngest among this delegation, who comes from a shoemaking family. He is full of expectation for the trip. "We should learn the details from them, as they have an increditably high requirement for techniques". Chen Xiao said he noticed that Italian shoes excel in the sticking process, not only nice, but fast. In China, however, adhesive failure usually happens. "I will pick out all these details this time".
Wu Deqing, the manager of Chengdu Yibailan Shoes Co., Ltd. considers that it is the right time to hold such a trade mission. And when an Italy trade union went to investigate in Chengdu in this March, they reached intent with Wu Deqing, which would give an order for Wu's mid-and high-grade ladies' shoes. Wu Deqing said, "Before our cooperation, we should study in Italy for some time, and it is beneficial to amend our disadvantages and adapt to international practices."
"Two-way exchanges" to accelerate the process of cooperation
This is not the first exchange between local enterprises in Chengdu and EU countries such as Italy. In every October, International Sourcing Festival will be held in the Ladies' Shoe Center of China, attracting many visitors from Italian footwear associations and enterprises. On the last International Sourcing Festival, Giuseppe Baiardo, Chairman of Consorzio Maestri Calzaturieri del Brenta approached all the exhibitors one by one, and expressed his deep impressions and interest in cooperation.

13 Stephen King Quotes to Celebrate the Birthday of a Horror Fiction Great
True horror fiction fans will be celebrating Stephen King's birthday this month, and what better way to kick off the celebration than with some great Stephen King quotes? Whether you love him for his novels, or the movies his novels inspire, these thirteen spooky quotes remind us of why this author is so good at what he does.
1. "It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost."
2. "People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy -- and I keep it in a jar on my desk."
3. "We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones."
4. "When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, "Why god? Why me?" and the thundering voice of God answered, "There's just something about you that pisses me off."
5. "Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty."
6. "Time takes it all whether you want it to or not, time takes it all. Time bares it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again."
7. "If I have to spend time in purgatory before going to one place or the other, I guess I'll be all right as long as there's a lending library."
8. "If I cannot horrify, I'll go for the gross-out. I'm not proud."
9. "Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."
10. "We fall from womb to tomb, from one blackness and toward another, remembering little of the one and knowing nothing of the other ... except through faith."
11. "Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutterball when you're bowling with the girls in the leage. True sorrow is as rare as true love."
12. "No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves."
13. "Get busy living, or get busy dying."
There are those who have questioned Mr. King's sanity. After all, how can a sane man write such horrific tales? Sane or not, he's one of the best horror writers of our time and these thirteen Stephen King quotes are just one way to celebrate that fact.

The Sweeping Popularity of American Football
The term "American football" refers to a type of game, not a regional sport. American football is enjoyed world-wide. Professional American-style football leagues exist in Canada, Europe, South America and Japan. NFL Europa is a organization operated by the US based National Football League. NFL Europa has teams in six German and Dutch cities. In Canada, there are 2 organizations, the Canadian Footbal Leage, a professional league, and Canadian University Spot, which is a network of nonprofessional University level teams.
Both Canadian leagues play American style football but with some variations known as Canadian Rules. New Zealand, Mexico, Japan and several other countries have amateur football leagues. American style football is governed by the international Federation Of American Football (IFAF), which has over 45 affliates in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. However, the true moving force in american footbal is the NFL, or National Football Association.
The NFL is the regulatory and organizational arm of football in the US. It makes and enforces rules for sportsmanship and drug use. When a player behaves overly aggressively during a game, misses practice sessions or becomes involved in extracurricular illegal activity, the NFL will impose a fine and/or suspend a player. The NFL bans recreational and steroid, or performance enhancing, drug use. It authorizes and conducts urine testing on its professional atheles.
The NFL also decides yearly whether the rules of the game should be changed, and in what ways. Often the rules are done to make the game more interesting or more fair. Safety is another motivation behind rule change and the NFL tries to make this aggressive and even violent game as safe as possible by modifying the existing rules and the forms of protective equipment used. However, merchandising is also a factor and the NFL has advocated rule changes, such as a sponsor time out which is a pause in the play of the game, that are solely for the purpose of allowing the sponsor to show commercials.
The NFL decides which cities can have a team and how many teams will make up the two franchises, The Amercan Football League and the National Football League, which originally was the only and prototypic league in American football. Fans have intese loyalties to these two franchises, which is capitalized upon in the yearly Superbowl. This game was established to play upon this rivalry and pits the AFL and NFL Champions against each other. This is held in February and is the single most watched event on American television. It is an event that begins weeks in advance with football interveiws, panels of sports figures who speculate on the game's outcome, and bettiing oportunities. This hype grows over the weeks of playoff games and builds to a near frenzy by the time Superbowl Sunday arrives.
The game is an all day event with ceremonies and a legendary half time, Las Vegas style, show that features top celebrities. For the multitudes watching at home, the Super Bowl is also augmented by the premeire screening of a collection of the most innovative and often humorous advertising blips. Because of the exposure and the terrific numbers of viewers, the competition to be one of the favored advertisers is nearly as hearty as the team competition to play in this game.
American Football is sweeping the rest of the world and becoming a popular phenomenon in nearly every country. This growth in popularity is slower in countries that have established rugby or soccer francishes but American Football is rapidly becoming as popular as American fast food.

Injured in Iraq or Afganistan? Civilian Contract Workers Can Get Compensation
After 9/11, many americans decided to risk their lives working for companies who provided services for the U.S. war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. War zones can sometimes prove as dangerous to civilians as to military personnel.
Tragically, many of these workers became injured while overseas. Adding to their difficulties, many of these injured workers, who put themselves on the line working in support of the American mission,faced steep medial expenses and loss of income as they recovered.
Some also lost their lives, leaving their families destitute. Many others who are unable to work watch their family's savings and assets dwindle, and their security disappear.
A law exists to ensure fair workers compensation for these people. It's called the Defense Base Act. Unfortunately, too few people in need of its protection understand their own rights under the law. Even fewer know what to do to guarantee those rights.
Recuperation can be difficult enough without mounting bills, the threat of bankruptcy, and an inability to get proper medical care and rehabilitation. That's to say nothing of the financial threat to the families involved.
The Defense Base Act requires that contractors working with the U.S. Military in war zones carry worker's compensation insurance. This type of insurance is compulsory for organizations employing U.S. citizens or residents, and all employees or subcontractors hired on overseas government contracts.
However, these companies sometimes fail to inform workers of their rights. Worse, the insurance carriers often refuse claims, abandoning injured Americans who supported the American mission to face crushing expenses and debt on their own.
Fortunately, Federal law provides a genuine solution, though unfortunately few injured workers know how to apply it. The Defense Base Act is part of the Longshoremen and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and covers to employees of government contractors working overseas under contract to the United States Government.
Specifically, the Act covers workers employed by American contractors performing public works for the U.S. government in U.S. territories, or at U.S. military bases located outside the continental United States, in support of military aid programs within allied nations. Workers are protected under the Act, even if they are only employed to build embassies and other U.S. government buildings abroad. As with domestic workers compensation laws, the Act covers medical treatment and compensation for defense contractors employees injured in the course of employment.
For thousands of American workers injured abroad, the Defense Base Act has provided support them under devastating circumstances. Claims under the Act have been successfully filed by many individuals, including some contact workers injured in Korea, VietNam, both Iraq wars, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. All of these come under the general coverage of the Act.
The Defense Base Act mandates that any injured worker should be confident of having an attorney at his side to ensure a just outcome. Both injured workers and family member of someone who has died from job injuries overseas are covered. Compensation is also allowable for partial loss of earnings, and significant death benefits are commonly paid to spouses and family.
Fortunately, injured workers or their families are not responsible for legal fees for a DBA injury claim. The Defense Base Act requires that all attorney fees depend entirely on the amount of money the claimant receives. No outrageous legal fees are possible. The fees are awarded by the Department of Labor,and are never included in any other compensation to the claimant. The lawyer is never paid by the injured worker or their family out of the awarded compensation. Instead,compensation is awarded to the attorney by the court, and paid by the insurance company or the original employer.
American civilians working in support U.S. military and U.S. State Department objectives continue to be injured to this day.
For these injured civilians, the key to success in securing just compensation under the Defense Base Act is finding the right lawyer. This is a highly specialized area, and familiarity with standard Workman's Compensation Law is simply inadequate. Claimants are advised to find a Defense Base Act attorney with years of experience and success with these claims.

New Army University to Train Civilian Leaders
The Army Civilian University was established last year by Secretary of the Army Pete Geren and Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. George Casey Jr. as a direct answer to several studies recommending greater access to education for the Civilian Corps. When they signed a memorandum approving Army Initiative 5 to "accelerate leader development," they created Army Civilian University.<br />
<br />
For Army civilians - and for the Army as a whole - this is very good news, said ACU President Jim Warner, who has a master's degree in business administration from Harvard. He also served as deputy commandant of the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., before retiring from the Army as a brigadier general.<br />
<br />
"We want to provide a system that enables all civilian employees to reach their aspirations and their potential," Warner said about Army Civilian University.<br />
<br />
In the past, the Army relied strictly on career programs to chart the training path of civilian employees, Warner said.<br />
<br />
And while civilians have Army universities to go to, Army Soldiers have a number of online civilian universities they can attend - all with the financial support of the Army. And so just as the Army is making sure that its civilian employees have a place to go for higher education and training, they are also ensuing that their Soldiers - eventually bound for the civilian world - have access to civilian university education programs while they serve. <br />
<br />
In addition to traditional brick and mortar universities that offer online degree programs for Soldiers, a new crop of accredited online universities have sprung up that specifically work with service members, catering their degree offerings and student support to the realities of life in the service. <br />
<br />
The main way that the Army helps their enlisted Soldiers take college classes while they serve is Army Tuition Assistance (TA). TA is a Soldier benefit that provides up to $4,500 a year in money for education at accredited vocational programs, community colleges and universities. And the best part of the program from the Soldier's stand point is that the Army pays the schools directly - Soldiers pay nothing out of pocket. <br />
<br />
The value of online universities that are military friendly is twofold. First, an online degree program means that a Soldier can study from anywhere in the world as long as he/she has access to the Internet and a computer. Second, military-friendly universities are familiar with Army Tuition Assistance paperwork and understand that an unexpected deployment may interrupt a Soldier's studies. Most online universities are very accommodating and will make arrangements so a Soldier can take care of his military responsibilities first. <br />
<br />
For married Soldiers, the advantage of an online, military-friendly university is that they often have military spouse scholarships or military spouse discounts, which can really contribute to the educational and career goals of military spouses. <br />
<br />
When researching an online university, investigate the website carefully, talk to fellow Soldiers and ask a lot of questions to admission representatives.
