		<description><![CDATA[tengatango.com prepares the men for the introduction of the Tenga's latest masturbator, the Tenga Flip Air and the Tenga Flip Air Lite. These sex toys will probably be the only thing a man needs whether he is single, or wants more fun for his foreplay, sex, and masturbation experience.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following the astounding success of the Tenga Fliphole and Tenga Fliplite, Tenga once again shocked the world with the introduction of a modified <a title="Tenga Flip Air and Tenga Flip Air Lite" href="http://www.tengatango.com/2011/05/tenga-flip-air-and-tenga-flip-air-lite/" target="_blank">Tenga Flip Air and Tenga Flip Air Lite</a>.</p>
<p>What makes the <a title="tenga masturbator" href="http://www.tengatango.com" target="_blank">Tenga masturbators</a> so immensely popular is the fact that these sex toys are designed for absolute pleasure.</p>
<p>It was said that the inventor at Tenga actually had to take viagra and other sexual related supplements to maintain an erection so that he can tell if the product meets his standards of sexual arousal and pleasure (not that he needs them but if you are going to invent something, you do need to know how it feels right). Of course, this may be just a rumor.</p>
<p>Bottomline is, the Tenga masturbators may be the only type of sex toy that a man will ever need. Especially if he is single, or wants to have that extra kick when it comes to foreplay and mastubation and sex.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 407px"><a href="http://www.tengatango.com/2011/05/tenga-flip-air-and-tenga-flip-air-lite/"><img src="http://www.tengatango.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/tenga_flipair_flipairlite.gif" alt="The launch of Tenga Flip Air and Tenga Flip Airlite at tengatango.com" width="397" height="339" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tenga Flip Air, Tenga Flip Airlite</p></div>
<p>If pleasure and sexual enjoyment is all he want, why should he compromise?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Singapore may be a first class country by many international standards but the people's sense of morality may limit the country's future growth with regards to advertising and creativity]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singapore is one of the few places in the world that can be rather conservative when it comes to erotic products like sex toys and items meant for personal pleasure and enjoyment.</p>
<p>What makes it really surprising is that Singapore is touted as one of the few first class country that can be quite intolerant when it comes to products that challenges a person&#8217;s sense of decency or morality. Of course, when it comes to products, images, or ideas that poses a risk to the country&#8217;s racial and religious harmony, we will agree that Singapore can do without any of these items.</p>
<p>Even when the country has many younger individuals and filled with expats and foreign talents, the strict laws and social groups make it their mission to prevent these products from harming social norms and societal welfare.</p>
<p>For instance, a infomercial by <a title="tengatango.com" href="http://www.tengatango.com" target="_blank">tengatango.com</a> featuring the <a title="tenga sex toys" href="http://www.tengatango.ecrater.com" target="_blank">Tenga sex toys</a> (<a title="tenga fliplite" href="http://www.tengatango.com/tenga-products/tenga-fliplite/" target="_blank">Tenga Flip Lite</a>, <a title="tenga eg" href="http://www.tengatango.com/tenga-products/tenga-egg/" target="_blank">Tenga Egg</a> and <a title="tenga fliphole" href="http://www.tengatango.com/tenga-products/tenga-fliphole/" target="_blank">Tenga Flip Hole</a>) was recently taken off the air after it was screened for barely two weeks. And all radio commericals were removed and banned as well after it attracted numerous &#8216;concerns&#8217; over the appropriateness of the commericals and social implications.<br />
The advertisments are now only available on certain webstores promoting the male sex toys and the <a title="tenga youtube official channel" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwtengatangocom" target="_blank">official Tenga YouTube Channel</a>(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3I2xBN_das">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3I2xBN_das</a>)</p>
<p>The official reason given by the media authorities is that they endanger social sense of morality. However, the reality is that advertisment like these meant that there is a unofficial watchdog who will decide what is permitted and what is not encouraged (for lack of a better word).</p>
<p>Even condoms advertisments are not spared. A well-known brand of condom was also order to removed their banners on public transport when concerned passenger thought that it would encourage pre-marital sex.</p>
<p>A fast-food chain was also in the spotlight after some parents made a police report that the advertisment is crude and insensitive.</p>
<p>All these points to <strong>inconsistent and conflicting goals of the tiny island state</strong>: the desire of Singapore to connect with the rest of the world on an international level, and the overly protective instinct of the people with a over-zealous moral standing.</p>
<p>Since advertisements for a sex toy like <a title="tenga" href="http://www.tengatango.com" target="_blank">Tenga</a> and references to <a title="oral sex blowjob fellatio" href="http://www.tengatango.com/2011/04/how-to-give-a-good-blowjob/" target="_blank">oral sex</a> is not allowed, what about advertisments for sanitary pads, and bikinis? In other words, <strong>where</strong> do we draw the line, or more importantly<strong> who </strong>draws the line?</p>
<p>Ultimately, the country has to decide where to draw the line between what is morally and socially acceptable and what would bring danger to its social peace and development.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing more pleasurable than having good sex and masturbation. No wonder the Tenga sex toys were invented! The Tenga masturbators are designed for maximum arousal, precise stimulation, and the most intense ejaculations.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best perks about being a man is that you are destined for pleasure no matter what is happening or had happened.</p>
<p>Yes, I am talking about masturbation. It is a fairly easy activity involving an erected penis, some lubricant, a steady hand, and some imagination. Of course you may want to make it even better with a tengatango sex toy and some pornography.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left">It was said that a man thinks about sex once every 28 minutes, so it is hardly surprizing that sex and masturbation are a big deal to man regardless of his age, marital status, or passion.</div>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left">So it is also not surprizing that Japan will take this hobby seriously and came up with the world&#8217;s most notorious masturbator to make masturbation as enjoyable as possible. Or as tengatango.com puts it: &#8220;making the erection stronger, the sensations more realistic, and the orgasm more intense!&#8221;</div>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: left">Indeed, there is nothing more pleasurable than having good sex. Of course, the ladies will beg to differ.</div>

		<description><![CDATA[Is there a business rationale for a business to develop a mobile application? What are the arguments to support creating an application and making it available for download at Apple's iTune Store?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Businesses are heading online literally and this trend is expected to persist. <br />
 <br />
The case for having an mobile phone application makes perfect sense especially since more people are using their phone for a variety of functions and purposes ranging from checking their account balances, reading their emails, surfing the Internet, book airline tickets, make hotel reservations, or connect with their friends. </p>
<p>In fact, there are almost an application for anything that needs to be done. Businesses realize that having an application is not a luxury, but a business necessity. This is especially the case since even corporate social networking are going mobile.</p>
<p>Unlike an advertisement where the purpose of the ad is to &#8216;market, sell, inform and educate&#8217;, mobile phone applications now allow the user to access more information, perform a transaction on-the-go, and even share their experience with their social and professional networks seamlessly.</p>
<p>Enterprise applications can now increase staff&#8217;s productivity and can take the form of interactive product catalogue, automated billing systems, or to enable specific types of transactions or management HR processes &#8211; just to name a few functions.</p>
<p>Integrating with popular online social tools, a transaction-based application or a game application can also harness the power of viral marketing. Perhaps this is the reason why some businesses are encouraging their users to download and use consumer-focused applications, they are also promoting their games applications as well. </p>
<p><strong>Adrian Ng</strong>, CEO of <a title="Codigo Pte Ltd - a total apps, web and intranet solutions company" href="http://www.codigo.sg" target="_blank">Codigo Pte Ltd</a>, notes that smart-phones aren&#8217;t simply for business even if they are issued by the employers. They are actually &#8216;life-style devices&#8217;. And &#8220;the sooner the organizations understand and appreciate this fact, the closer they will come to realizing the true potential of such devices.&#8221;</p>
<p>We can expect to see hundreds or even thousands of applications in the near future, but before you jump onto the bandwagon and create a few mobile applications for your business, remember that ultimately, it is the applications with the better ratings and user feedback which will enjoy a higher listing and wider popularity.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Details about Tenga masturbating products for men for realistic sexual sensations and an intense orgasm.]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Singapore, Sept 28, 2010 - (ACN Newswire) - Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX), the preeminent provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software, today announced the release of Open Text ECM Suite 2010, the largest innovation effort in the company&#8217;s history to create the industry&#8217;s most comprehensive, fully integrated ECM solution suite.</p>
<p>The unique value of ECM Suite 2010 is its combination of technologies covering all aspects of ECM. Open Text adds wide ranging new functionality linked through numerous integration points covering 90 products and modules, and spanning everything from compliance, business process management and portals to integrated mobile support and enterprise information archiving. The result gives customers the most complete content management system available to handle the vast array of content types, languages, applications, user needs and business processes in their organizations.</p>
<p>ECM Suite 2010 gives organizations the power to move ECM beyond projects or functional deployments, where ECM crosses systems and departments to add greater value, helping to reduce costs and increase productivity. The strength of the ECM Suite is its core services layer &#8212; process services, user interface services and the cornerstone of the ECM Suite, the Enterprise Library (formerly Livelink), with integrated archiving, metadata management, search and records management. All ECM Suite components integrate with this layer. ECM Suite 2010 adds leading capabilities from acquired technologies to further strengthen the ECM Suite:</p>
<p>- Open Text Portal (from Vignette): Offers a powerful, standards-oriented portal capability that publishes content from the ECM Suite, from processes, from the Web, Open Text Social Communities, and other content sources.</p>
<p>- Open Text Web Experience Management (from Vignette): Offers a dynamic Web content management capability for the ECM Suite. It can publish content from the Enterprise Library, Open Text Social Communities and Open Text Media Management. It can also publish into the Portal. Web content can be archived and managed with the ECM Suite.</p>
<p>- Open Text Social Communities (from Vignette): Adds dynamic social and community intranet and extranets capabilities to the ECM Suite. Content can also be archived and put under records management.</p>
<p>- Open Text Content Analytics, Semantic Navigation (from Nstein): Adds content analytics technology into the ECM Suite, allowing users to find content faster based on its meaning. Semantic Navigation is now also available as part of Web Experience Management.</p>
<p>- Open Text Capture Center (from Captaris): Fully integrates imaging and optical character recognition components.</p>
<p>- Open Text Media Management (from Artesia): Open Text has also integrated Open Text Media Management with Web Experience Management.</p>
<p>&#8220;The chaos and risks of content in organizations continues to grow but we&#8217;ve focused on innovation to help our customers meet those challenges,&#8221; said Open Text Chief Technology Officer Eugene Roman, who posted a podcast today on ECM Suite 2010 available here: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2vwsbly" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/2vwsbly</a>. &#8220;Over the past several years, Open Text has aggressively moved to a services-based architecture and implemented sophisticated development processes that enable us to quickly and efficiently integrate new and future functionality no matter if organically developed or acquired. As the biggest R&amp;D achievement in Open Text&#8217;s history, ECM Suite 2010 will help our customers easily plan their future ECM strategies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Innovation: New Capabilities</p>
<p>ECM Suite 2010 includes expanded features to improve social collaboration and mobility, manage compliance and enrich the user experience, so users can work faster, while driving productivity and ROI for organizations. Social collaboration is embedded into the fabric of ECM Suite 2010, offering capabilities such as discussions, forums and wikis. Open Text Pulse allows ECM Suite users to engage in microblogging, follow co-workers, share content, find subject-matter experts, all in a compelling interface that helps users be productive. As part of the ECM Suite, these social media capabilities can be fully secured and managed under compliance rules.</p>
<p>John Tropea, Global Facilitator, Communities of Practice for global engineering firm Hatch, said, &#8220;I like that Open Text Pulse allows you to interact and build discussions around a document rather than in a separate place like email. All the micro-decisions that went into a deliverable are now recorded by default &#8212; the real corporate memory.&#8221;</p>
<p>For interoperability with existing content repositories and applications across a large enterprise, ECM Suite 2010 provides support for the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard. This allows customers to access content from CMIS-certified systems and content repositories. Likewise, CMIS-compliant applications can access content in the Enterprise Library.</p>
<p>ECM Suite 2010 also adds support for all three major virtualization environments: VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V and Oracle Virtualization.</p>
<p>Designed for Adoption</p>
<p>Knowing the importance of a great experience to drive viral adoption, reduce training, and help users work faster, Open Text made significant user interface changes in ECM Suite 2010 based on the latest Web standards, continuing to make the software more intuitive, customizable and extendable to mobile devices. The new design lets users customize their experience, using custom columns, hiding unnecessary menus and creating personalized filters. To further support user adoption, the search experience has been enhanced, and Open Text has also added facetted browsing, which lets users leverage metadata to navigate through vast volumes of content.</p>
<p>With ECM Suite 2010, Open Text also developed multilingual metadata, language interface switching and the ability for customers to localize the application language to their organization using company-specific dictionaries.</p>
<p>Built for Performance</p>
<p>Performance improvements in ECM Suite 2010 also add to user adoption through faster response time, and by serving up relevant content and search results incredibly fast, so that users can quickly navigate and organize content. Open Text also added speed and performance improvements in other areas, for example, in records management where large-scale records dispositions, which used to take 2.5 hours of processing time in benchmark tests, can now be done in 15 seconds, adding to the company&#8217;s traditional strength in information governance.</p>
<p>Performance improvements at the server level mean that a smaller number of server instances need to be deployed to support the same level of scalability, freeing up capacity for more functional components on the existing infrastructure environment. The thorough optimization of the ECM Suite code results in much higher throughput rates in benchmark tests.</p>

<p>Managing Content in the Cloud</p>
<p>Many of the fundamental ideas that drove the development of ECM Suite 2010 are captured in a new ECM booked called Managing Content in the Cloud, where Open Text Executive Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Tom Jenkins talks about how ECM is forever changing the way organizations do business. The book prescribes effective solutions, looks at key technologies, and includes 50 innovator stories of how Open Text users are using the ECM Suite to solve problems.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2010-09-14 10:08</p>
<p>SINGAPORE and HONG KONG, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-Asia/ &#8212; Investors in Asia are returning to the merger and acquisition table with a renewed interest in risk mitigation tools such as Warranty &amp; Indemnity Insurance (W&amp;I Insurance), according to a report by Marsh, the world&#8217;s leading risk advisor and insurance broker.</p>
<p>The latest edition of the Transactional Risk Update: Half-Year 2010, a regular publication from Marsh&#8217;s Private Equity and Mergers &amp; Acquisitions (PEMA) Services, features a special focus on M&amp;A trends in the Asia Pacific region, including a discussion on insurance protection.</p>
<p>&#8220;As mid-market M&amp;A in Asia continues to be active, and large, leveraged deals begin to show signs of a revival, both buyers and sellers are looking to protect their interests more vigorously,&#8221; said Josh Roach, Asia Leader for Marsh&#8217;s PEMA Services.</p>
<p>&#8220;The lessons from the global financial crisis remain fresh in investors&#8217; minds as buyers and sellers are looking for insurance products to better allocate deal risk, especially for cross-border transactions where they may be investing in less familiar territories or selling to a foreign buyer. W&amp;I Insurance &#8212; a relatively new insurance product in Asia but more common in the US and Europe &#8212; is gaining popularity as the preferred tool to protect their interests.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;W&amp;I Insurance is now available domestically in China; a clear sign that the M&amp;A market there continues rapidly to become more sophisticated, with demand for risk transfer solutions and services on the rise.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the latest Thomson Reuters data from the first-half of 2010, Asian M&amp;A deal values increased significantly compared to the same period last year. Hong Kong alone saw an increase of 275% in completed M&amp;A deal values. The data also indicated a significant jump among private equity firms willing to commit capital after staying on the sidelines during the recent economic turmoil. (Source: Thomson Reuters)</p>
<p>During share and asset sales it is common for the seller to provide warranties to the buyer on a broad range of matters about the target, such as title to shares, property, employment, tax, intellectual property and other commercial matters. W&amp;I Insurance (also know as Reps and Warranties Insurance) is an insurance solution which provides recourse against breaches of the warranties and indemnities being given by the seller.</p>
<p>&#8220;In Asia, we have seen more queries regarding W&amp;I Insurance in the first half of 2010 than in all of 2008 and 2009 combined. This is a clear indication that while dealmakers are hungry, they are adopting a more considered and risk-aware approach than during the boom years of 2006 and 2007,&#8221; said Mr Roach.</p>
<p>&#8220;As economic power and M&amp;A activity continues to shift to Asia, the demand for innovative and sophisticated services will only grow. Marsh&#8217;s PEMA Services is well-placed to help clients close deals with higher degrees of comfort in the region.&#8221;</p>
