China's moves to restrain its hot economy are sending chills throughout the rest of the world, raising fears that a slowdown in the country's rapid growth could crimp the global recovery.
China's economy is key to world trade, and any move to curb growth sends jitters through financial markets as investors worry about reduced demand from the fast-growing nation.
New Chinese restrictions on bank lending soured stock markets Wednesday, knocking commodities such as oil, copper and gold lower, while commodity-linked currencies like the Canadian dollar fell sharply in step.
The focus on China comes at a crucial time as global economies climb their way back from one of the most brutal recessions in history.
Most economists say the world has left the recession behind and is in the early stages of a growth period.
But the drop in commodities serves as a reminder that the world's emergence from the downturn will be slow and uneven.
"This was a reality check," particularly for commodity prices, "which got well ahead of themselves," said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at global consultants IHS Inc. in Lexington, Mass.
"The relatively lacklustre nature of the recovery, and the fact there are still a lot inventories, mean demand for some commodities including oil didn't justify the kind of price increases we've seen in the last few months," Mr. Behravesh said.
China's banking regulator this week ordered some banks to limit their lending and revealed plans to cap credit growth in the country. Those measures follow another last week in which China's central bank, for the first time in 18 months, increased the share of deposits that lenders have to set aside as reserves.
"People are recognizing that there are some imbalances in the Chinese economy that couldn't be ignored forever, and the Chinese government is beginning to have to take more account of those," said Martin Evans, an economics and finance professor at Georgetown University in Washington.
Fears about the strength of the U.S. recovery resurfaced, because a slower Chinese economy would likely mean less demand for U.S. exports. As a result, investors dumped stocks in favour of "safe havens" such U.S. government bonds and the U.S. dollar.
And the Canadian dollar, whose value is closely linked to commodity prices, dropped about one and a half U.S. cents to close at 95.51 U.S. cents.
The loonie also fell because of tame inflation data that showed Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney has little reason to raise rock-bottom lending rates any time soon. Canadian consumer prices rose a less-than-expected annual rate of 1.3 per cent in December from a year earlier after a 1-per-cent pace in November, Statistics Canada said Wednesday. Less volatile "core" prices, which the Bank of Canada monitors as a guide to future inflation, rose 1.5 per cent.
Meanwhile, Statscan said manufacturing sales were at a virtual standstill in November, which does little to fill the excess production capacity in the economy that Mr. Carney says will persist well into next year.
For the Canadian dollar, "we're in a weaker-than-expected rut here," said Firas Askari, head of currency trading at BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. "Many peoples' expectations on the commencement of Bank of Canada hikes might have been pushed back."
Still, the underlying trend is that high commodity prices and Canada's relatively solid fiscal position will continue to boost the currency eventually, he added. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty touted Canada's fiscal health - relative to other Group of Seven economies - and the U.S. dollar's decline against other major currencies over the past year as reasons why Russia's central bank and other policy makers are investing in Canadian securities and the loonie.
While inflation remains under control at home, it's picking up in China and much of Asia. In the U.S., the inflation rate hit 2.7 per cent last month, while the U.K. rate quickened to 2.9 per cent, the biggest increase on record.
"Canada is marching to its own tune here," said Patricia Croft of RBC Global Asset Management. "It's very much out of step with what's happening with other countries around the world, and directly related to the strength of the Canadian dollar."
Indeed, other reports Wednesday painted a bullish picture of some key economies. In the U.S., housing starts fell in December as a result of unseasonably cold weather, but construction permits rose 11 per cent to the fastest annual pace in more than a year. And in Britain, the last major advanced economy that hasn't seen a return to growth, unemployment dropped at the fastest clip since 2007.
IHS's Mr. Behravesh pointed to those developments as signs the global recovery is sustainable, even if commodity prices fall some more to bring them in line with "fundamentals." And, he said, China won't "put the brakes" on its economy to such an extent that it threatens a worldwide rebound.
The Bank of Canada, which on Tuesday left borrowing costs near zero, said that while core prices are slightly higher than expected, it is sticking to its pledge to keep rates on hold through June, provided the outlook for inflation returning to its 2-per-cent target doesn't change.
"Even in a recovery, inflation does not seem to be a problem for Canada," said Krishen Rangasamy, an economist at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. "Excess capacity and the strong currency are allowing Canadians the benefit of low prices, and therefore low interest rates for longer."

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Ah, the Wargames series. GI Joe meets superheroes. The Globalist is a Cobra Commander looking chap who is head of an organization called UNITY, which basically seeks to become a big enough of a terrorist threat that the rest of the world joins forces against it, breaking down the barriers between nations and forging a one world government. Kinda like
what Ozymandius wanted to do in Watchmen, except The Globalist is putting himself in the line of fire. The PDF is only $1 and includes The Globalist's backstory (with a fantastic twist), his stat block and stats for his Peacekeepers.
WHAT WORKS: The Globalist has a CRAZY secret in his backstory that is almost impossible to just guess, and makes him and his Peacekeepers MUCH more dangerous than you would think. He's also a villain of a radically different philosophy than General Venom, providing a "balanced outlook" to the crazies of the Wargames universe.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK: Oh, the backstory twist may be TOO much for some people. Not in an offensive way, just an oddball way. I, personally, think it's great. Yes, I'm reaching for "complaints" here.
CONCLUSION: I love the Wargames series by Vigilance Press, and this entry continues to impress me with a unique villain who pays homage (in appearance) to another classic Cobra Commander look (mirror face instead of hood), but with a unique backstory and approach all his own.

Include is a Maryland-bred son of Broad Brush -- an outcross sire to Northern Dancer and Raise A Native blood -- out of the Stop the Music mare Illeria, giving him three crosses to Turn-to in his first four generations. Include is also bred 5x5 to stamina influence Ribot, and 4x5 to Kentucky Oaks winner Hidden Talent.Include returned $7, $2.60, and $2.10. Albert the Great paid $2.10 and $2.10. Pleasant Breeze was worth $2.10 to show. The winning exacta combination returned $14.60 and the trifecta $33.20. Earlier on the card, City Zip sat just off the pace and drew away to win the $75,000 Hirsch Jacobs Stakes by three lengths. (Chart, Equibase)
Robert Meyerhoff's 4-year-old homebred Include rallied from fifth place to upset 3-5 favorite Albert the Great in final strides of the $750,000 Pimlico Special Handicap (gr. I) Saturday at Pimlico. Under Jerry Bailey, the 2.5-1 second choice earned the hard fought neck-length victory by completing the 1 3/16 miles in 1:55.61 on fast track while drifting out in the stretch."He came through a very narrow opening," said Bailey. "He never batted an eye, never flinched. He was very game to run down Albert the Great, because I don't believe he quit much. My horse just ran him down.""My horse gave me everything he had to offer," said Albert the Great's rider Jorge Chavez. "It's tough to lose a close race like that, but it's part of the game." Laredo, entered as a rabbit for stablemate Milwaukee Brew, set moderate early fractions while tracked by Albert the Great. Include had a somewhat troubled start but was never far back while fifth after a half-mile in :47.13. Laredo continued to show the way while running six furlongs in 1:11.45 as Albert the Great moved closer to the lead. Albert the Great swept to the lead in upper stretch but was run down in the stretch by the winner. "He (Include) didn't want to lose, and he didn't," said Meyerhoff, who won his first Pimlico Special in four tries.Pleasant Breeze, second to Golden Missile in last year's renewal, was 3 3/4 lengths farther back in third. It was another six lengths back to Milwaukee Brew, followed by Laredo and Sergeant York.Include remains undefeated this year from four starts, including a win in the New Orleans Handicap (gr. II). As a 3-year-old, the Grover Delp trainee won four straight races before being upset as the favorite in the Pennsylvania Derby (gr. III). He earned $450,000 for the win, his eighth in 11 starts."He's for real. He's Grade I," said Delp.

Birthday! - Poem by Jaycee Wilkerson
Smiles and happy times
Wouldn't trade it for the world
The best food
Good music & pretty women
Red carpet strutting
Everyone around you
Looking like hollywood
I told you I would't change it
For the world
Everything going as planed
Supermodels are up for
One night stands
This means everything
Goes as planed
That night you become the star
Everyone else is your fans
Just hold you head up high
And pretend to fly
because thats the feeling
You get and never forget
Living without any regets
One night
Definitely out of sight
Its what you were
Born for
Its what everyone lives for
Your stardom awaits
Behind the door
The night you become
A super star
Its a feeling that is like
No other
Its a feeling that
For the rest of your life
You will never forget
Its that night that everything
Goes your way
Its your birthday!

What Should Do, If You Lost Your Voter ID?
Here we are introducing an article, "What Should Do, If You Lost Your Voter ID?" he Voter ID is issued by Election Commission of India. It is very essential during the time of election and for other needs. This proof is required for many purposes such as applying for a passport, purchase a mobile phone SIM etc. Electoral Photo ID Card (EPIC) is the another name of Voter ID. We are given some steps to get a duplicate Voter ID card. You should follow it.
How to Get Duplicate Voter ID if you Lost the Original?
First, you need to file the FIR. Then, the copy of FIR should keep for further procedure. Next, fill up the all required aspects in the Form 002, which is used for the issue of the voter ID card. Attach the FIR copy along with this form. Besides, you should attach driving license/ passport with the form. A driving license/ passport is commonly considered as proof of your identity.
After completing these steps, visit your regional chief election commission office and submit the file. Then, you will receive a receipt. Check the status of your duplicate Voter ID card through online. You will get the information about the date of the voter card delivery. Today, you can apply for a duplicate Voter ID card through online.
First, log on to the election commission website. Then, download the Form 002. Next, fill the form with the correct details. Visit to the local election registration office and submit the form along with FIR, proof of identification and other mandatory documents. If you are not provided mandatory documents such as FIR copy and proof of identification, the duplicate Voter ID Card may not be issued.


text: Stupidly, I leased a shop 3 years ago to sell financial services, previously I just had an office but thought I would get 'walk in' business as well if I had a retail presence. How wrong could I be. Anyway, I realised that I had made a mistake within about 6 months and after 9 months I had left it, albeit that I still had to pay the rent and utilities which came to approx. £1600 a month. After exactly 14 months I was able to sub-let the shop to someone else but I have had to subsidise it each month to the tune of £400. I couldn't even get out of it as I had signed a personal guarantee. So that works out at 5 months at full cost to me (after I left the shop) = £1600 per month x 5 = £8,000 22 months at subsidised cost of £400 per month = £8,800 So all in all, £16,800 for a shop that I used for just 8 and something months out of a possible 36 months. An absolute f***ing nightmare from day 1 and a very hard lesson learned which is definitely (IMHO) a major factor in my health issue earlier this year when it was discovered that I had a benign brain tumour. Stress can be a killer and I know full well how lucky I am. On January 28th my lease officially ends and my car lease also ends in February meaning I will be almost £1,400 a month better off and I cannot wait. No morale to this story apart from don't be an impatient dick like I was and think all of your major decisions through super carefully!

Belfast artist John Lavery's work sells for almost £1m
A 1920s oil painting by one of Northern Ireland's greatest painters has sold for nearly £1m.
The work by Sir John Lavery fetched nearly double the sum expected at Sotheby's in London.
Before the auction the 1921 picture titled 'The Golf Links, North Berwick' featuring Lavery's wife Hazel and step-daughter Alice, had been expected to sell for between £300,000 and £500,000.
But it eventually went under the hammer for £872,500.
Sotheby's would not reveal the name of the buyer, but confirmed the picture was bought by "a private collector".
The current world auction record for a work by Lavery is £1,321,500, which was paid at Christie's in London in December 1998 for his 1883 oil painting, The Bridge At Grez.
This year marks the 160th anniversary of Lavery's birth in Belfast.
His father, Henry Lavery, ran a pub in North Queen Street. But he tragically died in 1859, when the ship on which he was travelling to America sank off the Irish coast with the loss of 386 lives.
Sir John's mother, Mary, died shortly afterwards. He and his sister Jane were left orphans, brought up by relatives.
Despite this difficult start, Lavery went on to become one of the finest artists Belfast has produced. He was knighted in 1918 and, three years later, in March 1921, his importance as an artist was officially confirmed when he became the first Belfast-born painter to be elected to the Royal Academy in London.
According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Lavery and his wife Hazel were supporters of Irish home rule.
It states: "After the establishment of the Irish Free State they spent much time in Dublin, although Lavery never denied or neglected his roots in Belfast: he presented large groups of his paintings to both cities.
"Hazel Lavery became one of the great society hostesses of her day: the friend, confidante and occasionally lover to many powerful social and political figures."
It adds: "Her close friendship with Michael Collins was crucial in his negotiations with the British Government over the future of the Irish Free State in 1920-1921."
Lavery paintings owned by the Ulster Museum include portraits of Viscount Craigavon, the first Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, the seventh Marquess of Londonderry and Hugh O'Neill, first Speaker of the Northern Ireland Parliament.
In his biography of Lavery, Kenneth McConkey says: "After the International Exhibition in Glasgow in 1888, Lavery took on commissions as a portraitist and 'visual reporter'."

Why it matters: As a good reminder concerning the boundaries for admissibility of expert opinions, a federal court in Texas recently granted a policyholder's motion to strike an insurer's proposed expert report. The insurer had designated as an expert an attorney with substantial insurance coverage experience, but no claims handling experience. The insurer's primary coverage defenses were based on the policy's "claims made" requirement and prior knowledge exclusion and the attorney purported to opine on custom and practice in the industry. In the report, the lawyer testified to insurance company practice with regard to notice, the legal standard for denying coverage in bad faith, application of the "eight corners" rule to the terms of the policy, and the relevance of extrinsic evidence. The court excluded the testimony based on the fact that the lawyer was merely an advocate, never having been employed as claims adjustor testifying about his actual experience. Thus, his opinions were based on legal analysis rather than from experiences in the insurance industry. The court concluded that the report improperly invaded the province of the jury and the court.
Detailed discussion: In 2012, Atrium Medical Center was sued in Texas state court by a married couple asserting that the husband suffered injuries and faces a terminal illness due to the failure to advise him of the results of a CT scan performed at Atrium.
Atrium notified its insurer Homeland Insurance Company (HIC) of the lawsuit and requested coverage. HIC denied coverage, arguing that it was not first made against Atrium during the relevant policy period and was excluded by the policy's prior knowledge provision. Atrium then sued HIC in a declaratory action seeking an order that coverage was owed, and that the insurer's denial of coverage constituted bad faith.
HIC designated Michael W. Huddleston, an experienced insurance coverage attorney as an expert witness in the case.
After his expert report was filed, Atrium moved to strike the report. Atrium contended that Huddleston's report was full of inadmissible conclusions of law thereby usurping the roles of both the court and the jury.
HIC countered that Huddleston was an attorney with 30 years of experience in the insurance industry and that his opinions went solely to the issue of whether HIC's decision to deny Atrium's claim for coverage was reasonable, addressing mixed questions of fact and law.
Sitting in the role of gatekeeper, as instructed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals (509 U.S. 579 (1993)), the court agreed with the policyholder.
"After considering the report of Huddleston, the Court finds that his report invades on the province of both the Court, in instructing the jury on the applicable law, and the jury in determining the facts to be applied to the law," the court ruled. "To the extent Huddleston purports to offer expert testimony regarding customs and practices in the insurance industry, the Court finds that his expert report does not do that. Huddleston is an experienced insurance coverage attorney and advocate, and is not a claims adjustor or former claims adjustor. His report is clearly legally-based, and his opinions are not formed from his experiences in the insurance industry, but are formed from a legal analysis of his opinion of the applicable law."
After striking the portions of the expert report as inadmissible "there is nothing remaining in Huddleston's report that would assist the finder of fact in understanding the evidence or determining an issue of fact," the court concluded, ordering the report struck in its entirety.

I feel sorry for anyone before the modern era that didn't have access to electricity. While stuff like computers and lights are great, the main thing they're missing out on is a porn site known as Wired Pussy. The concept is simple: a mistress with access to electricity uses zappers, prods and other electric devices to use and abuse the bodies of other women. We're talking the best use of power known to man right here, guys - unrestricted lesbian fetish gangbangs that use electricity to create some of the hottest orgasms possible.
The archive of HD videos on Wired Pussy currently sits at just over 500 scenes. Sadly, it doesn't seem as if Wired Pussy has updated with new scenes for quite a few years, although the good news is that your membership to Wired Pussy means you can visit any BDSM site on the Kink.com network completely free of charge. That's right - Whipped Ass, Everything Butt, Bound Gang Bangs and more are all yours. The join fee may not be the cheapest, but hot damn: this is a fantastic site that you'd be silly to not consider signing up to.
Review Pros
- Huge archive
- Fantastic BDSM scenes
- Bonus sites
Review Cons
- High join fee
- No longer updates

Relson: Don't know self-defense? U don't know BJJ
Mixed Martial Arts was born from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ has since moved largely towards a sports focus, primarily sport BJJ, and to a lesser extent MMA. Self-defense has fallen as the primary purpose, as noted by Relson Gracie, when Connection Rio guests got the opportunity to train with the master at his academy in Leblon, Brazil.
"Helio Gracie Jiu-Jitsu - that's the only source in Brazil right now to teach self-defense," explains Relson. "A lot of positions, like Butterfly (guard) for sport, these don't work for street fights… Helio Gracie says, 'you don't know self-defense, you don't know Jiu-Jitsu.'"
If you want a BJJ camp in Rio, a vacation where you train jiu-jitsu in Rio, or just the best jiu-jitsu experience of your life, then Connection Rio is the way to do it. They specialise in accommodation for independent travellers and can hook you up with training anywhere in the city.

* EBIT margin sinks to 2 pct in 2012 vs 5.2 pct yr-earlier
* Photovoltaic business now valued at zero in its books
* Does not expect to meet 8 pct EBIT margin goal in 2013 (Adds details, background, CEO comments)
STUTTGART, Germany, Jan 23 (Reuters) - German conglomerate Robert Bosch said it would not reach its long-term profit target this year once again, after it booked heavy losses at its solar energy business in 2012.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) fell to around 2 percent of revenue last year from 5.2 percent in the previous one, due mainly to a 1 billion euro loss in its troubled photovoltaic operations.
"All conceivable solutions for the strategic realignment of the photovoltaics business are currently being weighed in order to arrive at a reasonable solution," the company said.
The industrial group now values its photovoltaic business at zero in its accounts, having written off the assets entirely last year.
Chief Executive Volkmar Denner told reporters late on Tuesday that Bosch would take urgent steps to lower fixed costs, since it did not expect this year to meet the 8 percent EBIT margin target it believes is necessary to secure the financial independence of the unlisted company.
Best known for the auto parts business that makes everything from advanced electronic brakes to fuel injection systems, Bosch forecast that group revenue growth would improve somewhat this year over the 2012 rate of 1.6 percent.
"Despite slightly increased sales and positive free cash flow, we cannot be satisfied with developments in 2012," Denner said in a statement, adding that fixed budget limits would be introduced for capital expenditure, acquisitions and other investments.
The steps are somewhat unusual due to its unique corporate culture. Bosch is widely admired in Germany for eschewing short-term measures to boost profit such as job cuts, preferring continuity in its strategy and management team. Last July, Denner became only the seventh chief executive to run Bosch since the company was founded in 1886.
Bosch is controlled by a trust called the "Industrietreuhand KG", so has no shareholders to please.
Bosch, which competes with Denso for the title of world's largest auto parts supplier, last year sold its 5 percent stake in the Japanese rival for roughly 1.1 billion euros. (Reporting by Hendrik Sackmann Writing by Christiaan Hetzner; Editing by Helen Massy-Beresford)

CBS LAS VEGAS-Michael McDonald, Chairman of the Nevada Republican Party, talks about how the Republican Party is trying to change their image towards voters. Clark County Commissioners have voted unanimously to abolish the office of Las Vegas Constable, capping a tumultuous fight in which Constable John Bonaventura claimed Commissioners were out to get him and were abolishing the office illegally. The Constable's Office mainly serves legal papers such as evictions. Critics say its antiquated and inefficient and could be better handled by the Sheriff's Office. Laughlin Constable Jordan Ross reacts to Clark County abolishing the Las Vegas Constable. Does Clark County need a Constable's office? Callers tell us if Clark County needs a Constable's office.

GOP leaders asked that the president work with them to create a balanced budget plan, citing President Clinton's efforts to work with House Republicans on a budget in the 1990s. (Photo by T.J.

Visited on 19th November 2016. Another nice trad boozer, 2 rooms and fairly basic decor, a proper locals pub, no frills. Holders provide the beer with a mix of handpull and electric dispense, quality was good, prices low and service efficient. Highlight of the area was the Indian sweet centre next door knocking out veg samosas for 25p fresh from the pan. Definitely go there!

Almost the only good pub in West Bromwich. A good traditional boozer, which carries the full range of Holdens beers, plus guests. Cheap beer, cheap food. All round very pleasant.

This last week was quite an eventful one. In five days, I drove 2400 miles, flew about 2500 miles, climbed sand dunes in 113-degree heat, saw a sister-in-law perform in the Broadway musical Wicked, and got to know two of my cousins.
While traveling the final 150 miles of the trip, from Omaha to Fort Dodge, at about 1am Sunday morning, I had an opportunity to reflect upon the previous week. It was definitely and unforgettable week. In fact, I plan to write this upcoming podcast about my experiences this last week. Here's a snapshot of what I've been mulling over recently.
Relationships are developed through our presence.
In the midst of all the great things I experienced this past week, by far, the memory I will cherish more than others will be the time I spent with my two cousins. Amy and Allison are 16 and 12.
In 1998, my family moved about 500 miles away from most of my relatives. Throughout the years, I haven't had very many opportunities to get to know my cousins too well because I've lived all over the place. This trip provided more time together than we had probably spent in our entire lives.
During the hours we spent together on the road, here's some of what we talked about:
- Youth group experiences
- High school dance failures
- Instagram and how it's the new cool social media program
- Blogging
- Fears
- The challenges of living out our Christian faith in a public setting
- What excites us
- Relationships
- Our favorite junk foods and their merits
- Why Texas is overrated
- How we can deal with death and other difficult circumstances in life
- What we would have done if we were in a gunfight at the OK Corral
Here's the best part: None of this was planned out.
It's not as if we had a list of important topics that we wished to discuss. These conversations happen organically. Sometimes we were silent in the car, doing our own thing. Other times, we were asleep. While during other times, we didn't want to stop driving because we had so much to say.
In the past few months I've been learning more and more the importance of relationship. Relationships are the primary vehicle God uses to influence us and help us grow. Jesus did this with his disciples, successful ministries understand this in the way they raise up new Christ followers, and loved ones grow closer together through cultivating their relationships.
This is so hard for me, though! I love seeing quantifiable results, and relationships are messy. They never look exactly like you envision them. They force you to be authentic.
When I look at a breakdown of how I spend my time at work and at home, I don't spend as much of it on relationships as I should. This road trip demonstrated that to me. I'm missing out on so much when I don't put relationships first. At the end of the day, nobody will care about how many blog posts I wrote, how many novels I read, or how many video games I beat. Yet, those are the things that I devote a significant amount of my free time to. Or in ministry I make sure to get reports in on time, and work through all of my to-do lists while neglecting to spend time with students and others.
This isn't a post about "3 easy tips to cultivate meaningful relationships." More than anything, it's a reminder that relationships should be our top priority.
Reports, blog posts, books, and even video games all have their place in life. But to what end? If they don't help us build relationships, then something isn't right.
Anybody in the business of changing livings needs to recognize this. Lives don't change in a meaningful way without relationship.
What makes it difficult for you to cultivate relationships in your work and free time? How have relationships enriched your life?

FIFA World Cup: Cameroon players delay Brazil departure
Yaounde: Cameroon's World Cup squad refused to board their plane for Brazil yesterday amid a row over bonuses, football officials said.
Cameroon's coach Volker Finke looks on during a friendly. Pic/AFP
After prolonged talks with the African country's government a deal was reached and the squad finally headed to the World Cup later yesterday, an official told AFP.
"The players should have left this (Sunday) morning but they didn't want to because there was a problem with bonuses," the source told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"Until yesterday, the government was offering 50 million CFA francs (76,000 euros) as a participation bonus (to each player), but they wanted more. The problem was solved during the day and they should leave Cameroon tonight."
CRTV said each player will receive a 50 million CFA franc bonus plus a share of 6 percent of the revenue generated by the federation during the World Cup.
The amount in CFA francs the teach player will now receive besides a 6% share of the revenue generated by the federation during the World Cup in Brazil

The Indian Financial System Code (IFSC) is an alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a bank-branch participating in the two main electronic funds settlement systems in India: the real time gross settlement (RTGS) and the national electronic funds transfer (NEFT) systems. This is an 11-character code with the first four alphabetic characters representing the bank, and the last six characters (usually numeric, but can be alphabetic) representing the branch.

The Coaching Advent Calendar
Marina 21st Dec 2015 Comments Off on The Coaching Advent Calendar in The Coaching Advent Calendar
Day 21 of the Coaching Advent Calendar.
You already probably know what will be on your Christmas menu and who you are going to share it with… Do you smile or sight at the thought?
The point I would like to make today – how we are all different, related or not, even close friends…
As a saying goes "The map is not a territory" . From the map of a life we choose what we prefer and what is important for each of us. Discovering another person's perspective and understanding the reasons for those views, does not necessarily mean we agree and embrace them ourselves.
Just be curious and let them be. It is their map of the world.

Mitsubishi Triton Built Tough for Work and Play
For over 30 years the Mitsubishi Triton has helped Australians get the hard jobs done. Engineered to deliver power, performance, 5 star safety, towing and technology, this is one tough ute that is as easy to handle as a passenger car. The Exceed and GLS 4x4 Double Cabs are the ultimate sports trucks, with a standard sports bar, 17" alloy wheels and LED Daytime Running Lamps.
Robust Design and Handling
The new Mitsubishi Triton is built for maximum stability and traction. Its chassis contributes to solid handling and its body is aerodynamically designed for stable highway performance. Reliable 4WD traction combines with an advanced upfront double wishbone suspension and extra reinforcement in the rear frame to keep you in touch with surface conditions and help keep you in control.
Interior Cabin Comfort
Automatic air conditioning (GLX+) and dual zone air conditioning (GLS and Exceed) add to interior comfort. The Exceed model is further equipped with leather seat facings, power driver seat, heated front seats, paddle shifts, electrochromatic rear view mirror and rear diff lock.
Spacious Cabin
Mitsubishi Triton Double Cabs offer a spacious cabin with rear seat leg room and a reclined seatback angle providing plenty of leg, shoulder and head room in the front and back, to easily carry five adults.
Active Stabilty and Traction Control
Active Stability Control (ASC) intuitively recognises over-steer or under-steer and applies brake force to appropriate wheels to keep you online through corners. While Active Traction Control helps you maintain traction on the most slippery or rugged of surfaces. This system automatically controls the engine output, so driving wheels are prevented from spinning. Sensing loss of traction in an independent wheel, ATC applies braking force to that wheel and sends power and torque to other wheels with traction to keep you moving.
