RIO DE JANEIRO, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Australia embraced the return of pivot Andrew Bogut with a 83-53 victory over China in a warmup match of the RioRIO DE JANEIRO, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Australia embraced the return of pivot Andrew Bogut with a 83-53 victory over China in a warmup match of the Rio Olympic Games in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Sunday.
Bogut, 31, played 15 minutes to collect three rebounds and an assist for his first game in over six weeks.
The former Golden State Warriors' center injured his knee during the NBA finals, and was traded to Dallas Mavericks this summer.
China didn't have many chances against the Boomers, with or without Bogut on the court, trailing all the way to the end in their second loss of the Super Challenge Brazil tournament.
Joe Ingles led the Australians with the game-high 21 points and six rebounds.
Both teams pitched as many players as possible for the last warmup tournament before the Rio Games, which will set off on August 6. China and Australia are bracketed in Group A and will meet on August 12.
Brazil and Lithuania are also competing in the tournament.
NAIROBI, July 20 (Xinhua) -- The East Africa Community (EAC) on Wednesday appealed to regional economic blocs to harmonize their trade policies in order to facilitate cross-border business.
EAC Director General in Charge of Customs and Trade, Peter Kiguta called on COMESA, East Africa Community (EAC) and Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) to remove typical trade barriers that hinder intra-Africa trade.
"All the three regional economic communities have different trading instruments which subject traders to varied policies that hamper trade. These trade barriers should not exist in the first place because we need to have goods moving within the region," Kiguta said during a regional forum held in Nairobi.
Kiguta said Africa is dealing more with the rest of the world as opposed to intra-Africa trade which currently stands at only 13 percent.
"The three trade regions which comprise of 26 countries with a total population of 640 million people and cumulative GDP of 1 trillion U.S. dollars, would rank the 13th largest economy of the world if it were one country," he said.
The forum brought together policymakers, the private sector and other relevant stakeholders from the three economic blocs to deliberate on agricultural trade policies and food security in the proposed agreement and come up with actionable policy recommendations.
The proposed Tripartite Free Trade Agreement (TFTA) was launched in June 2015 with the aim of reinvigorating the regional integration agenda in Africa and is expected to strengthen trade linkages in areas of industrial and infrastructure development.
Kiguta said the region in particular, and Africa in general has not been speaking with one voice on matters pertaining to trade and called for the standardization of goods in order to protect the health of people, animals and plants.
Experts say economic integration requires political will and commitment for nations to relinquish parts of their sovereign decision-making powers to a regional authority with a view to achieve economies of scale.
Creation of a single space would require the states to harmonize national economic and social policies, create infrastructure, and facilitate trade.
COMESA Chief Executive Officer, Age Nchula, said the regional economic bloc has grown by over 300 percent since inception in 1981 and recorded over 700 million dollars worth of trade.
"Challenges of moving goods from one country to another should be cleared because there is need to match what happens in the office with what is going on the ground so that areas with surplus commodities serve those regions with deficit in supplies," Nchula said.
He said there is need to match what happens in the office with what takes place on the ground because some of the policies formulated take as long as 10 years to be implemented or are soon forgotten altogether.
There is no doubt in my mind. Without question
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-vince-dunn-jersey , the best dog food is one which is based on a wild dog’s diet. Dogs have evolved on this. It’s raw meat. There are no cookers in nature.
People are reluctant to believe this for a variety of reasons. So lets look at some of them, and dispel your fears. Firstly
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-tony-twist-jersey , you may be worried about the presence of parasites and worms in raw meat. It’s been drummed into you that meat needs to be cooked to kill them off.
I can assure you, that dogs digestion is robust. They have no trouble with worms and parasites in raw meat. They have evolved to deal with this. What they haven’t evolved to deal with is cooked food
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-tage-thompson-jersey , high fat content, preservatives
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-shayne-corson-jersey , pathogens in cooked food, poor quality filler and the low grade food which passes for dog food.
Secondly
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-scottie-upshall-jersey , you may be concerned about bones perforating an internal organ. Dogs evolved by crunching up on raw bones. They have absolutely no problem with raw bones, as long as they are raw and they gnaw them. If you have more than one dog and they gobble the bone down to ensure the other doesn’t get it
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-robert-thomas-jersey , they may suffer some discomfort while the bone passes through their digestive system, but it won’t do more than cause them discomfort. So ensure your dog gnaws the bone in peace.
The other problem is with cooked bones. These can perforate your dog’s internal organs. Cooked bones are a definite no-no when working out the ingredients for the best dog food .
Thirdly
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-robert-bortuzzo-jersey , you may think feeding your dog a raw food diet is expensive. After all, the connotation ‘best pet food’ looks expensive. It depends on what you take into consideration. If you are feeding your dog the cheapest brand from the supermarket
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-robby-fabbri-jersey , and don’t have any ailments treated, then you may be right. If you do
http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-pierre-turgeon-jersey , I doubt you’re reading this. So lets suppose you feed your dog a medium priced commercial pet food and do use the services of a veter.
