HOUSTON Austin Johnson Black Jersey , Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Two brothers were killed and the son of one of the victims was wounded in a shooting at a used car dealership in the U.S. city of Houston Thursday, local media reported.

The dead were later identified as two brothers and co-owners of the dealership. The third victim is the son of one of them. All were shot in the head, police said.

CHONGQING Kevin Dodd Black Jersey , Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- A giant panda cub met with the public for the first time at the municipal zoo in southwestern Chinese Chongqing on Sunday.
Breeders placed the panda cub, which weighs around 9.2 kilograms, in a blue plastic basket on the zoo's lawn for visitors to see. He tried several times to stand up but failed. Then breeders removed him from the basket and allowed him to play in the lawn for five minutes before he was taken home.
Panda fans have been eagerly waiting for his debut since his birth on August 30 last year. They lined up on Sunday to get a close look.
"We have to reduce the panda cubs' outdoor activities during the winter cold. If everything goes well, the cub can meet with panda fans every day during the Spring Festival holiday Luke Falk Black Jersey ," said a breeder.
The cub's mother Yaya, 16, has given birth to four other female pandas.
His name will be announced by the zoo in February.
China now has 422 giant pandas bred and living in captivity with a survival rate of about 88 percent, the State Forestry Administration said this month. The country aims to increase the captive giant pandas population to 500 by 2020.
Most organisations support their products or services through the printed word but in order to convey the utmost professionalism Kevin Byard Black Jersey , it is essential that all materials are thoroughly proofread to avoid typos or embarrassing blunders before going to print. Proofreading can be tricky, especially if you are the author, designer or are closely involved with the document or project. However a few simple tricks of the trade can mean that all mistakes are quickly identified and corrected.
To begin, use the computer spell checker to eliminate simple typos. Remember to check that the computer has the correct language selected i.e. UK vs. US. Computers do not always get it right though so having a printed dictionary to hand is also useful.
Each subsequent reading of the document should be focused on a different aspect. First Derrick Henry Black Jersey , read the document to see if it is complete with all the information needed, this could mean dates and times for an event on a flyer or thorough explanations of services in a brochure, either way make sure it is all there.
Next, read the document to see how it sounds. Listen to the sound of the voice in your head or read out loud to see if the sentences make sense as a whole. The tone and flow of a document are important to ensure the audience remains interested and receives the right impression of the company or promotion.
A third reading can be used to identify other spelling and punctuation mistakes. Before this reading is undertaken it can be helpful to read something else in between to enable the mind to return fresher. A top tip is to read the document backwards when checking for spelling mistakes.
Finally Jack Conklin Black Jersey , check all content outside of the main body of the text or that which is formatted differently such as headers and footers. Often this 'outside' text is additional information such as telephone numbers, dates, company names etc. and these items can be easily overlooked.
At least one of these readings should be done in hard copy as mistakes can be missed on a computer screen.
Here is a list of the most common typographical mistakes:
- Homophones - these are words which sound the same but have a different spelling and meaning. Right and write, deer and dear.
- Leaving out silent letters - Febuary and February Jonnu Smith Black Jersey , lisen and listen.
- Adding an Ending - mistakes can be made when changing the tense of a word by adding an ending. Hopeing and Hoping or Submiting and Submitting.
- Missing words - most commonly with smaller words, to, it, is Taywan Taylor Black Jersey , of, a, etc. Or sometimes these words are used incorrectly in exchange for one another.
- Ordering of letters - the most common of typos is for letters to be the wrong way round.
- Punctuation - apostrophes are the most common punctuation mistake. They should be used in two ways, for the possessive e.g. Peter's ball Adoree' Jackson Black Jersey , and to replace missing letters e.g. it's or don't.
- Amalgamating words - some words should be separate 'a lot' rather than 'alot'
- Verbs - adapt the verb to a singular or plural subject for example 'I was' and 'we were' not 'I were' and 'we was'.
- Should ofshould have - the latter is correct.
Once the document has become free of all its mistakes and is as correct as it can possibly be it is ready to go to print. All you need now is a high quality printing company to match your high quality proofreading.
