Instead of taking over her fathers company, as the daughter of a successful entrepreneur, Xu Taofang has established her own leading brand in the anti-radiation clothing sector for pregnant women: Tianxiang. Wholesale Jerseys China Black Friday. Tianxiangs turnover had amounted to 320 million yuan ($46.76 million) as of last year and it reached 370 million yuan in the first half of this year. We expect it to keep a growth rate at 40 to 50 percent in the second half, Xu said. However, six years ago when Xu finished her bachelors degree in Singapore, she was given sales work by her father, founder of Shanghai Honest Fashion Co Ltd, a clothing company specialized in producing clothing for middle- and old-aged women. Xu, 21 years old at that time, found that the anti-radiation clothing, which can block the radiation from computers, TVs and microwave ovens, was little recognized in China, while anti-radiation clothing for pregnant women, protecting the growing babies from any radiation was very popular in Singapore. Her father, who thought the market was very narrow, reluctantly agreed to her suggestion to turn the company gradually from traditional clothing production to high-tech anti-radiation clothing. And so Tianxiang brand anti-radiation clothing for pregnant women was born. All materials were imported from Japan, as anti-radiation materials were unavailable in China at that time. However, high prices due to the costly imported materials, poor design and the weakness of the material impeded Tianxiang’s sales. It was sold at a price of around 1,500 yuan per piece. Its anti-radiation function decreased after being worn for three months and it was unwashable. Overcoming the hurdle To lower the material costs, Xu succeeded in persuading Tianxiangs Japanese material suppliers to transfer part of their production line to China. Lower labor costs benefited both of them and Xu was also able to study their production technology during the processing procedures. Meanwhile, in order to develop their own anti-radiation cloth, she set up a 30,000-sq m base in Shangdong for anti-radiation fiber production and logistics. Finally, Tianxiang developed its own metal fiber and the nano-silver fiber cloth, greatly cutting the material costs. The cost of our self-developed anti-radiation cloth is only one-third of imported cloth, Xu said, Tianxiang is currently being sold at 550 yuan a piece. We also solved the problem that the imported anti-radiation cloth was unwashable. Now, Tianxiang supplies materials to over 60 percent of anti-radiation clothing manufacturers in China. Tianxiang was invited to work out the national standards for anti-radiation clothing.

The two-time world champion was handily beaten by Spains Javier Fernandez at Skate Canada International on Saturday night, marking Chans first loss in a major international event in nearly two years. The 21-year-old from Toronto is known for shaky starts to the season, and is still adapting to the major overhaul he made in the off-season that included a new lead coach in Kathy Johnson and new choreographers. But Brian Orser -- Canadas two-time Olympic silver medallist and Fernandezs coach -- warns that Chan is looking more vulnerable than ever. "All these guys, not just Javier, they are all figuring out what it is they need to beat him," Orser said. "And its not just the quads but its the skating skills, its the program and the packaging -- everything. Everyone is kind of getting it. "When youre a leader in something, when Elvis (Stojko) was doing all the quads he was kind of unbeatable for a while. But then, it was like, OK, I guess we have to do quads. Now everybody is learning how to skate." Of the four medals up for grabs, Canada captured two gold and two silver. Kaetlyn Osmond, a 16-year-old from Marystown, N.L., who was making her Grand Prix debut, was the surprise womens winner. Olympic and world champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir captured gold in ice dance, and Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won the pairs silver. Chans second-place finish raised some alarm bells coming a few weeks after he finished sixth out of six at the Japan Open, falling four times during a disastrous long program. Chan fell on his triple Axel on Saturday, and touched a hand down on his quad jump. Fernandez fell on his opening quad, but subsequently landed two more huge ones. Mike Slipchuk, Canadas high performance director, said Orsers right, that any distance Chan had on the rest of the field is dwindling. "The mens category has really tightened up, its kind of shaping up as it was going into Vancouver where you have a handful of people on any given day who can win," Slipchuk said. "The field is catching up, or is there, and just the technical arsenal of so many skaters. . . we had eight here doing a quad. "And with Javier doing three quads, thats the direction the mens is going, and when youre starting to see that, those are big numbers to oveercome. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Black Friday Patrick needs to have two good solid skates because theres no room for error anymore." At the season-opening Skate America earlier this month, Japanese teenager Yuzuru Hanyu -- whos also coached by Orser -- broke Chans world scoring record in the short program. Chan, who will next compete at the Cup of Russia in Moscow, Nov. 9-11, said he was taking the weeks results as a good learning experience leading into a pre-Olympic season that includes a world championship on home ice in London, Ont., in March. He said he wasnt second-guessing his decision to leave longtime choreographer Lori Nichol to work with Jeff Buttle and David Wilson. And he believes his change in coaches was for the best -- his coach Christy Krall, credited with teaching Chan the quad, resigned after the world championships last spring. Hes confident in his chances of hitting the top of the podium in Sochi, even among a strengthened field that should include Russian star Evgeni Plushenko and Olympic champion Evan Lysacek of the U.S. Both are making comebacks. "I know going into the Olympics that all I have to do is lay down my jumps. If I lay down my jumps no one can beat me," Chan said. If Chan is looking vulnerable, Virtue and Moir are looking stronger than ever. The two brought the crowd at the WFCU Centre to its feet with their steamy free dance to "Carmen," that showed a new maturity to the duo who have dominated ice dancing for several years. The program was also jam-packed with innovative new lifts and spins. "The level they keep pushing dance, and what theyre doing out there, that program is so technically demanding and to see it at that scale already is pretty incredible," Slipchuk said. Skate Canada International was the second of six stops on the ISU Grand Prix circuit. Each skater or team competes in two events, and the top six scorers in each discipline qualify for the Grand Prix Final in Sochi in December. Virtue, from London, Ont., and Moir, from Ilderton, Ont., will next compete at the Cup of Russia. Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Torontos Radford, who finished runners-up at Skate Canada to four-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany, will compete at Trophee Eric Bompard in Paris, Nov. 16-18. Because Osmond was only ranked in the mid 40s in the world last season, she didnt qualify for a second Grand Prix event. ' ' '
