COPENHAGEN， Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Danish jewelry giant Pandora revealed Tuesday robust profit for the second quarter of 2016， backed by sales growth in all geographic regions.
"Growth in all regions continued into the second quarter ... All regions were supported by our continued focus on product diversification into rings and earrings，" Pandora CEO Anders Colding Friis said in a press statement.
The group registered earnings before interest， tax， depreciation and amortisation of 1.609 billion Danish kroner (about 240 million U.S. dollars)， up 23 percent from 1.311 billion kroner for the same period last year.
Revenue for the second quarter increased by 20 percent year-on-year to stand at 4.327 billion kroner， while net profit was 1.221 billion kroner against 910 million kroner for the same period last year， the company said in its interim financial report.
It added revenue from concept stores increased by 39 percent and corresponded to 63 percent of the total revenue.
According to Pandora， its best sales growth for Q2 was achieved in the Asia Pacific market with 43 percent hike， followed by Europe， the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Americas， where sales rose 28 percent and 5 percent respectively.
"EMEA and Asia Pacific maintained the strong momentum with double digit revenue growth， driven by positive double digit like-for-like growth and continued improvement of the store network，" said Friis.
Pandora jewellery is sold in more than 100 countries through some 8，900 points of sale， including more than 1，900 concept stores. (1 U.S. dollar = 6.71 Danish kroner) Enditem
After military success , UAVs turn to development, environment projects
China's success in producing and exporting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for military use is prompting the industry to explore new civilian uses, which will help develop the domestic economy and tap overseas market, experts said.
"Our products are very popular in the Belt and Road countries in the Middle East, Central Asia, Southeast Asia , Africa and so on," Shi Wen, general designer of the Rainbow UAV series (CH series), told the Global Times.
Produced by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp (CASC), the CH series is its most popular drone product.
Shi declined to identify the buyers, citing business confidentiality.
However , according to official sources from other countries, Rainbow at least has 19 buyers around the world, including Egypt, Myanmar, Iraq, Pakistan , Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. Since 2015, the Iraqi defense ministry's YouTube channel has posted a number of videos about the use of the CH-4B, a military drone of the Rainbow series. These clips show how effective the drones are in real combat situations, such as destroying moving armed vehicles or buildings used by armed terrorists as hideouts.
The fast development of China's UAVs relies on development in areas like aircraft engines, satellite navigation (Beidousystem) and micro electronics, Song Zhongping , a Hong Kong-based military expert told the Global Times.
Chinese drones have not had the same poor publicity as US military drones. Shi said Rainbow series drones "have destroyed more than 300 targets in combat in these regions, and the strike rate is 99 percent, which is remarkable."
But Chinese companies are also exploring other markets where drones can make a big impact on development, which will help improve the image of the technology, as most people only know about military drones, experts said.
"Since China has very complicated conditions , if our UAVs work well here, we can use this experience to help other countries as well. And this is much more meaningful than military uses," Song stressed.
Zhou Nai'en, associate director of CASC's design department at its research institute, said that drones can be used for forest protection, exploration of underground resources , and for ocean monitoring.
"For instance, China's territory is vast and has some of the most difficult natural and geographic conditions in the word. And in many cases, if we use manpower to discover natural resources, it would be very difficult and costly due to the harsh natural environment. It's also dangerous sometimes, but using drones can make many 'impossible missions' possible," Zhou said.
The newest CH-5 drone can carry high-tech exploration devices that can detect underground mines. It flies over no-go areas and detects mines using surface reflections , saving a lot of time and money, he said.
It is a widely-known fact that art and style evolved during the past century, every time adapting a more mature identity than the last. The standard of living has improved to a great extent with new improvements and societal changes. And the developments in science, technology and research have provided these changes with a strong backbone to support and keep the stones upturned, along the way.
But by now, you should be asking yourself why I am talking about 100 years in the past. Well , because the modern game of Tennis that we play and appreciate today, originated somewhere around the same time on the timeline.
A lot has changed over the last 100 years. The meaning and understanding of fashion changed manifold. The players used to wear perfectly formal attire when playing Tennis, in contrast to today’s comfortable yet stylish tennis clothing. It is found that players were compelled to wear white as compared to today’s myriad counterparts and range of colorful variants.
Back then, cotton was the ultimate choice for sports clothing which when considered today, falls way behind the synthesized fabrics that are invented for greater comfort and athletic styles.
If we observe the past closely, we can defer that the tennis clothing .
