Railway Industry Of Daqo Group
Product Introduction
OCS is the core power supply equipment in power supply system of electrical railway traction. Its function is to supply power to the running electric locomotive incessantly. Different from the ordinary power transmission line it must be fixed on the right top of the rail and then locomotive can get power incessantly through the slip friction between top pantograph and contact wire. So everywhere that electric locomotive running through should span catenary. All catenary installation is hypaethral and it is always affected by kinds of bad weather as well as its working state is changed with the running of electrical locomotive and has no standby so working environment for catenary is complex and the request for it is higher. OCS components manufactured by SAITONG introduces and adopts international advanced technology and optimize the design of key components products according to the technology feature of domestic rail transportation and feature of parallel products. The whole series of products have been homebred and this caters to the construction and operation of Chinese rail transportation better. Aluminum alloy and copper alloy are adopted much in our product forging now we have two forging line and the manufacturing capability hits 2000kms/year. SAITONG is making the core components of Siemens Re250km/h and Re350km/h in China and can produce all catenary components refer to Chinese railway standard; we have passed the test of P.R.C catenary components inspection station. we have the sales ability.

How To Deal With Your Migration Blues..
Emigrating is not a simple process. Besides the formal side such as applying for a visas and completing a citizenship test emigration involves leaving your memories behind. Emigration also involves leaving your close connections with loved ones behind. Not to mention the life that has helped morph you into the person you are today.
Theres no doubt about it; Emigrating is a life changing event.
You have to very significant decisions to make; you can decide that emigrating equates to living a lonely existence in country that you are possibly not very familiar with or you can view this phase in your life as a fresh new start with awesome possibilities awaiting you. However no matter what your outlook your transition will certainly bear a few bumps every now and then. In fact according to many expats it takes approximately two years to settle in.
Take note that whether you are considering the emigrate or even if you are in the process of emigrating you are in fact already feeling the psychological effects of emigrating…
Emigration Companies will often set you up in almost every aspect such as shipping your pets and how to move your goods. In view of the fact that youll be starting you life almost from scratch it seems a logical choice to have a professional in place to help clients to prepare psychologically. Often described as an emotional rollercoaster the transition causes stress levels to rise as the day of departure draws closer.
You may wonder if youve made the right decision.
You may be concerned about the process going wrong and think to your self what if I dont take up the great opportunity will I regret it for the rest of my life? Feelings of irrational indecisiveness and fears may occur. These emotions can sometimes manifest into a host of physical symptoms such as headaches and sleepless nights.

Are there valid solutions?
There is a therapy referred to as talking therapy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT. CBT is considered a quick fix cure for many psychological needs these include Bulimia and Schizophrenia. CBT could be explored as a suitable therapy to deal with the psychological effects of emigrating. According to practitioners of the therapy CBT can help clients deconstruct and deal with their overwhelming emotional problems by sectioning the issues they have into smaller parts. In effect the therapy helps clients to deal with these issues in manageable chunks. The aim of this therapy is to unveil and communicate about issues related to your mental state. The therapy uses selfawareness to break free from negative thought patterns.
Can you handle change right now?
We all differ. You may be more careful about the decisions you make. Your friend or partner may enjoy spontaneity and make flash decisions without a care in the world. However being afraid of change is a natural emotion. Most people may be concerned about whether everything will go according to plan and more importantly whether the right decision has been made. According to CBS specialists you should not think about a lifechanging decision such as this if you are going through clinical depression or anxiety. Even is you are not suffering from problems such as these it will do you good to find ways to enhance your coping skills. Also ask yourself these questions to establish if youre ready for change or just fleeing from an existing problem. Do some soul searching…
Why would you like to immigrate?
Are you trying to fix an existing problem?
Are you running away? What from?
Are you aware that youd be far away from your support systems if youre trying to deal with an existing problem?
These questions may be tough and painful to answer but youll certainly gain a clearer and more rational perspective. Find a trustworthy friend or family member to support you through the process.
Are you in good form?
It is important to put your thought down on paper. This can help you organise what youre thinking and feeling. Youll also be aware of the benefits and disadvantages of immigrating. Remember whatever your decision it will have repercussions. List the Pros and Cons. Give a score to each item on your list and then simply add up the scores of each of the columns. This will give a numerical basis for your decision.
How to ensure a smooth transition?
Give yourself time to research the psychological effects. Talk to others as much as you can particularly those whove made the move themselves. Perhaps draw on expat forums on various expat websites. It is imperative that you socialise with positive likeminded people. If youre going through the immigration application process compile a list of your goals and what you will do in order to reach these goals. Then pack it away for a while. When you hit an emotional bump reach for your goal sheet and read it again to remain focused.
Should you ensure that you have a strong support system in place?
Youre family may be your strongest connections. Perhaps your friends are your strongest supporters. Whatever your situation ensure that you have the full support of your loved ones. It will make the transition harder without the support of those that you hold dear. If you dont have their assurance it may be difficult to settle.
Will you be short on cash but high on positivity?
For most when emigrating there is very little money in the bank. It may be hard to remain positive but it is possible. If youve emigrated already make contact with expats from your country. A familiar social group will do wonders for your emotional stability. Youll stick together work hard and stick it out together! Money is very central to your survival but positivity will get you through those rough patches.

Graphic Design Advice For Trade Shows
High Impact Trade Show Graphics
Graphics are the most integral part of any trade show display system so be sure that your graphics make the best use of images and text. Most trade show attendees will spend very little time looking at the textual content of your booth so you need to have bold images and text that will grab their attention quickly.
Do not try to explain every detail about your company on your trade show booth. Many companies fill their valuable graphic space with paragraph after paragraph of tiny text that no attendee will ever read. It is the job of your booth staff not your display to educate attendees on the nature of your products and/or services. Make sure your display is designed with the specific goal of luring potential leads to your booth area.
Avoid lowcontrast images. Your images should all contain bold vibrant colors that are bright but not overwhelming. Many trade show exhibits appear busy because the images lack contrast and as a result they do not flow well with the theme of your display.
