RMD Entertainment Group (RMDM) Launch Of Share Reduction In Float and Outstanding BEIJING, Nov 09, 2009 -- RMD Entertainment Group (RMDM; http://www.rmdmgroup.com) announces its aggressive plan to reduce both its outstanding and float share structure. The share reduction plan, which began early in October, 2009; is well under way. This will be a III phase share reduction in both outstanding and the float. Phase I saw the company reduce its outstanding share structure by 400 million shares. This represents approximately 5% of the RMDM outstanding and current float. Phase II is a complex transaction involving the stakeholders of over 5% in RMDM agreeing to a lock up agreement which will essentially reduce the current float by another 400 to 800 million shares. Phase III will be when amongst other things, the issuer will approach individual (as permitted by law) shareholders on its NOBO list and offer conversion privileges from common stock to preferred stock. The preferred stock will pay annual cash dividends and will have conversion privileges back to common stock at some point in the future. Phase IV will be a reorganization of the capital structure. The company projects that these four phases being worked on simultaneously, may reduce RMDM's outstanding share structure to about 1 to 2 billion outstanding shares, from the current 9.8 billion. Shane Cooper, United Liquor's President, (ULA) added; "We are very pleased with the restructuring of RMDM. We believe the added clarification to stockholders and the new corporate structure fits with ULA goals for rapid growth and stockholder value. The merger with RMDM is opening new doors for ULA which we look forward to sharing with stockholders in the near future." The RMD Entertainment Group's management feels that this is a material event and that each stage with the new company requires a public announcement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (NASDAQ: NATI - National Instruments Corp.) LATEST NEWS!! National Instruments Introduces LabVIEW Education Edition Graphical Software to Inspire Hands-On Learning --Collaboration With Tufts University Results in Teacher-Tested Technology for High-School Engineering Education AUSTIN, Texas, Nov 09, 2009 -- National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today introduced LabVIEW Education Edition, a high school-focused version of its industry-standard LabVIEW graphical programming software. The new edition is designed to help educators implement project-based, hands-on learning for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects. The software was developed in collaboration with the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO), a leader in integrating engineering into K-12 education. Working with Dr. Chris Rogers, Tufts CEEO director and professor of controls and mechatronics, National Instruments developed the software to help high-school teachers give their engineering students hands-on experience with the same graphical system design technology used by engineers and scientists throughout industry and academia. "Engineering is a powerful motivator for learning math and science as it makes it possible for students to be innovative and creative while learning," Dr. Rogers said. "Computers are at the core of almost every experiment, robot or data analysis, and the graphical nature of LabVIEW facilitates this creativity and innovation on the programming side, even for beginning students. I look forward to the day when the teachers are the skeptics and the students use their math, science and engineering toolbox to create their own experiments to convince the teacher." LabVIEW Education Edition helps teachers implement engaging, project-based learning as well as connect theory to real-world examples. The new version works seamlessly with key educational hardware platforms such as LEGO(R) MINDSTORMS(R) Education NXT, Vernier SensorDAQ and TETRIX((TM)), a metal robot-building system by Pitsco, making it easy for teachers to integrate hands-on robotics, measurements and data acquisition into their curricula. The software's graphical drag-and-drop paradigm helps students learn key programming concepts and develop analytical skills while gaining experience with technology used in the professional world. The new edition also features its own classroom-ready tools, including the Data Viewer, which graphically displays sensor data; a virtual oscilloscope; and other virtual instruments that give students hands-on experience with a variety of electrical and mechanical engineering techniques. Additionally, LabVIEW Education Edition includes a supporting curriculum and classroom activities directly available from National Instruments, Vernier Software and Technology and LEGO Education. LabVIEW Education Edition joins a full line of National Instruments educational products that equip educators with hands-on learning technology. LabVIEW, which is at the core of the academic product portfolio, is widely used in leading educational programs including LEGO Education robotics, Project Lead the Way, The Infinity Project and FIRST Robotics. Through collaboration with these programs, National Instruments is inspiring and educating today's students to become tomorrow's engineers and scientists. "National Instruments is inspiring the next generation of innovators that will tackle society's critical challenges," said Ray Almgren, vice president of academic marketing at National Instruments. "As a result of our collaboration with Tufts CEEO, LEGO Education, Vernier and others, LabVIEW Education Edition gives educators a learning platform to help their students explore robotic designs, measure phenomena and learn a variety of engineering concepts. By customizing LabVIEW features for classroom use, we believe that this new edition will inspire and engage students and help secure a bright future for STEM education."
