"We will very soon complete three years of operation in the Middle East and Africa and have enjoyed good growth in business volume. We have achieved more than our expectations. We participate in conferences and love organizing events such as this as they open doors to a lot of prospects. We started with three people and now we are seventeen of us, which further emphasizes on the robust growth of the company," continued Mustafin.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) ? In a historic trip to a long shunned land, President Barack Obama on Monday showered praise and promises of more U.S. help to Myanmar if the Asian nation keeps building its new democracy. "Our goal is to sustain the momentum," he declared with pride as the first U.S. president to visit here.
Tens of thousands of people lined the streets as Obama packed in diplomacy and soaked in his steamy surroundings. He shared words and an affectionate hug with the Aung San Suu Kyi, the democracy activist who endured years of house arrest to gain freedom and become a lawmaker.
"We are confident that this support will continue through the difficult years that lie ahead," she said of the help from America, Obama at her side. "The most difficult time in any transition is when you think that success is in sight. We have to be very careful that we're not lured by a mirage of success."
Obama told her that if the nation's leaders keep making true reforms, "we will do everything we can to ensure success."
The president was then on his way to give a televised speech at the University of Yangon, in which he would deliver the same message. Obama planned to tell his audience that the United States is ready to "extend the hand of friendship" now that Myanmar has unclenched its fist of iron rule.
"Instead of being repressed, the right of people to assemble together must now be fully respected," the president said in speech excerpts released by the White House. "Instead of being stifled, the veil of media censorship must continue to be lifted. As you take these steps, you can draw on your progress."
Long isolated because of a repressive military rule, Myanmar began a transition to democracy began last year.
After meeting with President Thein Sein, who has orchestrated much of his country's transition to democracy, Obama said the reforms "in Myanmar" could unleash "the incredible potential of this beautiful country."
Obama's language alone was significant. The United States still officially refers to the country as Burma, after the former ruling junta summarily changed the name years ago to Myanmar. But U.S. officials ? and now Obama ? have been less rigid about using the old name as relations change.
Obama met with Suu Kyi in the very home where she spent years under house arrest, a gated compound with a lawn ringed by roses.
On an overcast and steamy day, Obama touched down Monday morning. The city basically stopped for his visit, with many people waving American flags and taking photos with their smartphones.
Obama's visit to Myanmar was to last just six hours, but it carries significant symbolism, reflecting a remarkable turnaround in the countries' relationship.
Obama has rewarded Myanmar's rapid adoption of democratic reforms by lifting some economic penalties. The president has appointed a permanent ambassador to the country, and pledged greater investment if Myanmar continues to progress following a half-century of military rule.
Some human rights groups say Myanmar's government, which continues to hold hundreds of political prisoners and is struggling to contain ethnic violence, hasn't done enough to earn a personal visit from Obama. The president says his visit is not an endorsement of the government in Myanmar, but an acknowledgment that dramatic progress is underway.
Obama came down the steps of Air Force One next to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in recognition of their final foreign trip together. Clinton is leaving the job soon.
The president's stop came between visits to Thailand and Cambodia. His Asia tour also marks his formal return to the world stage after months mired in a bruising re-election campaign. For his first postelection trip, he tellingly settled on Asia, a region he has deemed the region as crucial to U.S. prosperity and security.
Aides say Asia will factor heavily in Obama's second term as the U.S. seeks to expand its influence in an attempt to counter China.
China's rise is also at play in Myanmar, which long has aligned itself with Beijing. But some in Myanmar fear that China is taking advantage of its wealth of natural resources, so the country is looking for other partners to help build its nascent economy.
Even as Obama turned his sights on Asia, widening violence in the Middle East competed for his attention.
Obama told reporters Sunday that Israel had the right to defend itself against missile attacks from Gaza. But he urged Israel not to launch a ground assault in Gaza, saying it would put Israeli soldiers, as well as Palestinian citizens, at greater risk and hamper an already vexing peace process.
As for Myanmar, as he seeks to assuage critics, Obama has trumpeted Suu Kyi's support of his outreach efforts, saying Sunday that she was "very encouraging" of his trip.
The White House says Obama will express his concern for the ongoing ethnic tensions in Myanmar's western Rakhine state, where more than 110,000 people ? the vast majority of them Muslims known as Rohingya ? have been displaced.
The U.N. has called the Rohingya ? who are widely reviled by the Buddhist majority in Myanmar ? among the world's most persecuted people.
The president will deliver his speech at a university that was the center of the country's struggle for independence against Britain and the launching point for many pro-democracy protests. The former military junta shut the dormitories in the 1990s fearing further unrest and forced most students to attend classes on satellite campuses on the outskirts of town.

Samsung will launch the collapsible display screen | Internet ...
In this year?s Mobile World Congress, the world?s largest smartphone manufacturers made their efforts to highlight the comparative advantages of their respective products, and to show their products are more excellent than the competitors? products. Display of products from these manufacturers, the majority of new products show a similar large flat panel displays are equipped with one or two buttons.
Of course, these products also have a more diverse, especially outside of the ZTE, Samsung and the increase in popularity, and also introduced a variety of products, the Samsung phone is equipped with quad-core processors, cool AMOLED display, and small size, light in weight.
Apple is the number one in the area of the mobile field. But the company refused to show their products, despite the company?s iPhone and iPad devices have been very popular.
However, in 2012, Apple, or Apple?s competitors are likely to face greater pressure to continue to promote the development of hardware. maybe, just launch the smaller or the appearance of bright and dazzling hardware products have been difficult to meet consumer demand.
This is so mainly because the Samsung is supported by its plastic AMOLED device to create a lighter, positive smaller mobile phones, and more importantly, according to Nomura Group, senior technology analyst Richard Windsor, Samsung?s new phone will be equipped with a collapsible display screen. The Nomura Group Asia analysts have said that Samsung ?may be from the second quarter of 2012 to launch a smartphone based on the plastic material can be bent or collapsible display. Nomura Group?s analysts also said they are also from Samsung where to get this message.
At present, this is not the industry?s first discussion of the folding screen of the Samsung. Early as last year, there are rumors that Samsung is developing a mobile phone of a called ?Galaxy Skin? flexible display, and that this mobile phone market will be the second quarter of this year.
However, Samsung has rejected the rumors. However, Samsung publicly expressed that it is developing a next-generation technologies, such as collapsible, flexible, transparent display. As early as the year before the Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung demonstrated a foldable AMOLED display, this display is only 0.3 mm, 4.5 inches in size. And the later May of last year, there are rumors that the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology researchers have to create a middle crease of the collapsible display prototype.

Springsteen brings customary energy to NYC show
(AP) NEW YORK - The power and the glory were unleashed in the heart of Harlem on Friday night as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took to the stage of the storied Apollo Theater.
Springsteen, self-introduced in a deadpan delivery as "the hardest-working white man in show business," was intent on proving it with music and physical antics that whipped the packed house into a frenzy.
In a nod to Apollo legend James Brown, the "hardest-working man in show business," Springsteen milked his own Godfather of Soul shtick, staggering dramatically around the stage wearing a black towel "cape" that was ceremoniously draped onto his shoulders by guitarist Steven Van Zandt.
The show aired live on SiriusXM Radio's E Street Channel as part of the satellite company's 10th anniversary celebration. It was a prelude to a world tour that launches March 18 in Atlanta in support of the "Wrecking Ball" album, whose liner notes include a touching homage to saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died in June.
There were some familiar, ever-popular moves ? sauntering up the aisles, cavorting on the audience's seats, perching on the piano, languishing on the drum risers.
Springsteen also stretched, Gumby-like, to grasp the hand of a man who leaned precariously out of a box seat.
Even band members exhibited wide-eyed amusement when Springsteen bounded around the balconies and lowered himself back onstage on metal pipes attached to the walls.
E Street's last tour ended in 2009. "We've missed you," Springsteen told the audience.
Springsteen, who recently noted that it "takes a village" to replace Clemons, assembled a heavenly horn section punctuated with Jersey Shore panache. Clemons' nephew, Jake, blasted out numerous full-throttle sax solos to a great crowd response; Springsteen beamed at his new team member.
The new album expresses outrage on behalf of America's increasingly downtrodden masses. The Boss and the band contrasted that by filling the drop-dead-gorgeous, neo-classical surroundings ? ornate gilding, crystal chandeliers ? with a joyful noise.
His trademark intensity was there throughout: face furrowed with emotion; frame taut as a cobra.
The musical blend featured favorites and the stylistically wide-ranging new material. Other highlights included the Smokey Robinson/Temptations hit, "The Way You Do the Things You Do" and selections from Wilson Pickett as well as Sam and Dave.
Springsteen and the audience together paid tribute to Clemons during the song "Tenth Avenue Freeze-out," an old favorite about the band coming together. References to the "Big Man," Clemons' nickname, drew loud cheers, as it did again when Springsteen did a roll call of the band during another song.
"Are we missing anybody?" he asked. The crowd memorialized Clemons and keyboardist Danny Federici with lengthy cheers and applause.
"If you're here and we're here, then they're here."
