Euro Zone debt Crisis Warning: China a forerunner for global Downturn

A global economy slowing only gently would be an immense relief after a fraught end to 2011, but it is far from guaranteed. Greek debt discussions could retract next week in a tussle over the size of losses banks that must to face. Based from Bradley Associates World Current News, the anxiety over Iran’s nuclear program continues to threaten oil markets. While, U.S data surprisingly showed the weak retail sales and a rise of unemployment last week, a reminder that the U.S recovery is not yet out of the woods.

So, even as signs suggest only a slight easing in global growth this year to a pace around 3 percent, the pitfalls are numerous. Mainly, among them is China. Data on Tuesday is expected to present growth in China, the world’s second-largest economy, cooled in the fourth quarter to 8.7 percent from a year earlier, against 9.1 percent in the prior quarter. It would be the slowest speed of growth since mid-2009 when the global economy was crawling out of a deep recession. In addition, the biggest question is how much of the slowdown can be blamed on slackening worldwide demand for China’s exports and how much on weakening domestic growth. According to Bradley Associates World Current News, If China’s central growth is stalling, that would put yet another drag on countries such as Germany and the United States, which are relying upon strong exports themselves to help compe...

The notorious Taliban terror group has released a video Monday showing them brutally executing 16 Pakistani men who were captured in a raid last month. The Taliban has claimed that the men were responsible for the deaths of six children in the Pakistan area. The disturbing video shows the 16 men standing in a line with their hands tied behind their backs while four rebels stand in front them holding assault rifles with scarves hiding their identities.

As the 16 men stand timidly, one insurgent gives a speech before the shooting begins. The speech which was given in a Pakistani dialect was translated by The Long War Journal, a website that specializes in reports on militancy. The insurgent states, “These are the enemies of Islamwho originated from Pakistan…They are the Pakistani police, soldiers, and their supporters who recently lined up six kids in Swat and shot them execution-style… These Pakistanis are now our captives, and we will avenge the death of the children by doing the same to them.”

A video also surfaced last year showing men in Pakistani military uniforms killing six young men, but the Pakistani military denied the video’s authenticity. As the Pakistan military continues to fight with insurgent groups, unrest and terror continue to bring bloodshed to the region.

Pakistani officials reported last month that hundreds of Taliban insurgents had crossed the border ofAfghanistan and attacked police precincts in Barawal,...

Many Asian companies are focusing on how best to recycle waste products
Climate change sceptics might not like to admit it, but Asia is embracing environmentally-friendly technologies.

China is spending tens of billions of dollars every year on renewable energy projects – almost twice the next biggest spender in this field, the US – while South Korea’s clean energy capacity more than tripled in 2009.

Asia is not, then, the environmental laggard some in the West would have us believe.

In fact, growth in what the industry calls the clean tech, or environmental technology, sector looks set to take off.

The figures speak for themselves.

The population of Asia is expected to grow at more than double the rate of Europe and the US in the next five years, during which time the region’s economy should grow four times more quickly than Europe’s, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

This helps to explain why demand for energy in Southeast Asia should rise by 76% in the next 20 years, the IMF says.

And an increasing proportion of this energy will come from clean technologies – governments and indeed peoples demand it.

As the levels of unemployment fell across 43 American states in December 2011, the national rate of 8.6% stood at its lowest since February 2009. Given this sustained improvement in the levels of economic growth and job creation, it would appear to be an ideal time for job seekers to step up their search for work and achieve their dreams of finding full-time employment. With this in mind, what skills should job seekers be learning in order to improve their credentials as candidates and ensure that they can find and retain work in 2012?

The Language Barrier

With free trade a significant feature of the U.S. economy, exports and international business have emerged to spur significant job creation and support more than 10 million positions of employment, according to Trade and the Economy: A Small Business Report created by the House Committee on Small Business. Given that the total U.S. exports for goods and services also reached $1,800 billion and accounted for about 12% of the GDP in 2010, the importance of international interaction cannot be underestimated now that the job market is growing steadily. Social media is helping to create an increasingly global and tightly woven community of trades and businesses, resulting in multilingual skills being highly sought after by U.S. employers. With this increasing demand for employees who can converse with international clients and consumers, there has never been a better time for job seekers to develop mult...

Financial advisors use their knowledge of investments, tax laws, and insurance to recommend financial options to individuals. The SEC typically regulates investment advisers that have assets under management in excess of $25,000,000. Investment advisers that do not meet this threshold generally are regulated by the states. The SEC registers IA firms but does not separately register individual representatives of IA firms. The states register IA firms, and many separately register individual investment adviser representatives. Currently, you can only search for IA firms on this website. In the future, this website also will provide the ability to search for individual investment adviser representatives. In 1996 Congress amended the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 to require that the SEC establish a readily accessible electronic process to respond to public inquiries about investment advisers and their disciplinary information. The SEC created this website to satisfy Congress? mandate.
