Ride-hailing service Uber aims to launch its UberX service Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Photo Azul , which uses licensed professional drivers, in the German capital Berlin after failing to find enough drivers in some of the country's other cities, Uber's Germany chief Christian Freese told a newspaper.


"We are planning to start UberX in Berlin in June," weekly Welt am Sonntag quoted Freese as saying in an interview published on Sunday.


A German court last year banned San Francisco-based Uber from running services using unlicensed cab drivers and set stiff fines for any violations of local transport laws by the pioneering online taxi firm.


The venture capital-backed company in Germany has since limited itself to drivers that hold a passenger transport license, among other legal requirements, through its UberX and UberBlack smartphone apps.


But it has run into a shortage of drivers and currently operates UberX only in Munich Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Midnight Marino , having shut it down in other German cities including Frankfurt and Hamburg.


In the long run, Freese said he also wanted to bring UberPool to Germany, a service in which several customers share one Uber vehicle to cut down on their share of the fare. But for the moment, such a service would be in breach of German passenger transport rules.


VANCOUVER, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Canada is going with experience in the defense of its men's ice hockey Olympic gold medal next month in Sochi, Russia Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Light Bone , after Hockey Canada on Tuesday announced 11 returning players from the 2010 winning team among its 25-player roster.

The NHL's leading scorer, a native of Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, called it an honor to be representing his country for a second occasion at the Olympics. At the Vancouver Games Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Tiger Naranja , the 26-year-old scored four goals and seven points in seven games to lead Canada to its eighth Olympic ice hockey gold medal, the most titles by any nation.


"I think I'm just as excited as anyone else," said Crosby, who currently leads the NHL with 63 points in 44 games. "Everyone talks about how you expect to be there but honestly it doesn't get old."

"It was fun to play in front of the fans, but this is a different challenge, for different reasons it's going to be just as fun," The Vancouver Canucks goalie said he didn't know if he would be the starting goalie this time around.


"That's not my call to make. I mean I think at this point it's about representing Team Canada, you know, and everybody's going to have a role. A lot of guys are going to be in roles that they're not use to playing Comprar Hombre Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Racer Azul Total Rojos , so same goes for me," Luongo said.


"I don't know what my role is going to be, and things change as we've seen in the past over the course of the tournament and I'm just going to be ready to play."

Team Canada general manager Steve Yzerman said more players could be added to his lineup before next month's Games as injuries come into play.


Stamkos, the NHL's leading goal scorer in 2010 and 2012, most noticeably, is back skating after breaking his leg on Nov. 11 and is hopeful of being in Sochi.


"We had some difficult decision to make, there's a lot of good players to choose from Comprar Hombre Mujer Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Negras Naranja , but this isn't about any one individual," said Yzerman, noting that the team could only nominate 25 players initially.


"We had hard decision to make because we have so many tremendous players to choose, that's what make it's difficult."

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, March 10 (Xinhua) -- Dan Edwards remembers sitting on his father's lap in a John Deere tractor, plowing the fields of northeastern Pennsylvania, back in the day.


The year was 1958 and Edwards was only seven. The machine was a Deere 440 backhoe-loader. It was a scene painted by Norman Rockwell -- as American as apple pie.


Soon thereafter, Edwards's father, 'Hap' Edwards went from machine operator to running his own John Deere distributorship, and his son jumped in behind the counter as the parts manager.


That was 45 years ago and Edwards is still stocking parts, but this time, on a much larger scale.


Edwards recalled his humble roots Thursday at the 2017 ConExpo in Las Vegas, far from the bucolic, rolling farmlands of America's east coast.


Thursday's setting was much different - in the opulent, corporate setting of XCMG's pavilion at the biggest construction trade show in the world.


It was a scene of controlled chaos.


XCMG's young staff rushed around managing a record convention crowd that topped 130,000 and swarmed through the company's displays of gigantic excavators, massive asphalt rollers, and towering cranes.


In the back of the pavilion, Edwards sat down with Xinhua to reflect on his career.


Edwards's current position, running the m. Cheap Wholesale Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys From China Cheap Wholesale NHL Jerseys Cheap Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Replica Soccer Jerseys Cheap NCAA Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys
