Kuwait Cancels Joint Venture With Dow Chemical

Kuwait Cancels Joint Venture With Dow Chemical
http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/28/kuwait-cancels-joint-venture-with-dow-chemical/

Dow Chemical said Sunday that the government in Kuwait had changed its mind and chosen to scrap the $17.4 billion joint venture between Dow and the Kuwaiti state-run Petrochemical Industries Company.

The reversal is a setback for Dow, the chemicals giant based in Midland, Mich. The joint venture, called K-Dow Petrochemicals, was seen as an important way for Dow to reduce its exposure to the ups and downs of the commodities business, as well as to raise cash to defray the cost of Dow’s pending $15 billion acquisition of rival Rohm and Haas.

In a statement Sunday, Dow said it was “extremely disappointed” with the Kuwaiti government’s decision and was evaluating its options regarding the joint venture deal, which was scheduled to close on Jan 1, 2009.

三鹿毒奶粉疑犯供出三聚氰胺源頭

三鹿奶粉刑事案6名疑犯受审 透露蛋白粉制造秘密
http://news.qq.com/a/20081227/000058.htm

...2007年初，张玉军获知制造“蛋白粉”可以获高额利润，遂开始进行试验...这些“蛋白粉”称作“植物蛋白粉”，说含蛋白质95%，品质好...明知三聚氰胺是化工产品，人不能食用，人一旦食用必然会对身体健康、生命安全造成严重损害的情况下，通过其他经销商将含有三聚氰胺的混合物(“蛋白粉”)分销到石家庄、唐山、邢台、张家口等地的奶厅(站)，被某些奶厅(站)经营者添加到原奶中...

若案情屬實, 即有人將「蛋白精」加入牛奶收集站, 即是說乳牛的飼養方面沒有收到污染, 而是第二層開始。一直看下去, 就會發現, 身為中國人的一份子, 從企業管理角度來看, 也要反思一下「監管」的意義。

Baby garment shop in Jordon

Boxing day等小Helen跟姊妹們唱K後, 與她一同到澳洲牛奶公司食tea, 想不到現時已那麼有名, 要排隊才能進入享用一個簡簡單單的炒蛋快餐。
我們在寶靈街及白居士街交界, 走到一間新開的River BB衫店, 買了小禮物給劉小B及潘大B, 那間的網址未做好, 所以拍了張相, 要找的話自己試試看吧! 其實從這張相也看不到什麼。另一張「四正」的相片則是鄰街的同老闆女裝店。

Lorem Ipsum

Lorem ipsum是指一篇常用於排版設計領域的拉丁文文章，主要的目的為測試文章或文字在不同字型、版型下看起來的效果。
Lorem ipsum從西元15世紀開始就被廣泛地使用在西方的印刷、設計領域中，在電腦排版盛行之後，這段被傳統印刷產業使用幾百年的無意義文字又再度流行。由於這段文字以「Lorem ipsum」起頭，並且常被用於標題的測試中，所以一般稱為Lorem ipsum，簡稱為Lipsum。

不過原來Canon EOS 40D在影樓使用很不便, 似乎Nikon的設計更為適合, 怪不得戶外Sport會多會Canon, 室內studio攝影師似乎多用Nikon原來真的有原因。星期六拍garment時, 才發現Liveview之下不能trigger flash, 而且viewfinder有無grip, 難對水平。

What is REACH?

想不到除了公司及客戶, 在教會小姐茶餘飯後也會提到REACH.

REACH
What is REACH ?http://ec.europa.eu/environment/chemicals/reach/reach_intro.htm

REACH is a new European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use (EC 1907/2006). It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemical substances. The new law entered into force on 1 June 2007.

The aim of REACH is to improve the protection of human health and the environment through the better and earlier identification of the intrinsic properties of chemical substances. At the same time, innovative capability and competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry should be enhanced. The benefits of the REACH system will come gradually, as more and more substances are phased into REACH.....
