Strong trade growth in 2018 rests on policy choices, says WTO.

World merchandise trade growth is expected to remain strong in 2018 and 2019 after posting its largest increase in six years in 2017, but continued expansion depends on robust global economic growth and governments pursuing appropriate monetary, fiscal and especially trade policies, World Trade Organisation (WTO) economists have said. Indeed, the WTO anticipates merchandise trade volume growth of 4.4% in 2018, as measured by the average of exports and imports, roughly matching the 4.7% increase recorded for 2017. Specifically, growth is expected to moderate to 4.0% in 2019, below the average rate of 4.8% since 1990 but still firmly above the post-crisis average of 3.0%. The WTO’s trade forecasts are predicated on consensus estimates of global GDP, which have been revised upwards strongly in recent months. World real GDP at market exchange rates is projected to grow 3.2% in 2018 (up from 2.8% last September) and 3.1% in 2019. However, there are signs that escalating...

Suicide bombers, gunmen attack Kabul police stations.

Suicide bombers and gunmen launched apparent coordinated attacks on two Kabul police stations on Wednesday, with witnesses reporting on social media that both assaults are still under way. AFP journalists heard several loud explosions in the heart of the Afghan capital followed by gunfire that was confirmed by Afghan officials and witnesses. In the first attack, a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a police station in the west of the city, sparking a gunfight between other militants and officers, interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish told AFP. Ariana TV footage showed a thick plume of black smoke rising into the sky. “The second attack happened in front of police precinct 10 in Shar-e-Naw in central Kabul,” Danish added. “Two attackers who tried to enter the police compound were shot dead.” An AFP correspondent near the scene of the second attack saw a body on the street by the police station and heard several gunshots. “Two wounded people have been bro...

What can Liverpool learn from recent El Clasico?.

Sunday’s highly eventful Clasico, which finished as a 2-2 draw, showed Real Madrid at their best and worst, giving Liverpool fans reason for both optimism and concern for the Champions League final in Kiev on Saturday, 26 May. The chief hallmarks of this strange season for the Bernabeu giants have been inconsistency and unpredictability – in terms of team selection, tactics and overall quality of performance, and all those ingredients were on display in a frantic night at the Nou Camp. At times, Los Blancos were simply excellent, especially in the final half hour of the opening period when they deservedly equalised through the always dangerous Cristiano Ronaldo, having taken complete control of the game as Barca were unable to keep hold of possession or mount threatening attacks. But Real ended up having to settle for a share of the spoils after also showing their flaws both individually and collectively, littering their performance with mistakes and occasionally allowing their...

Guardiola yet to conclude talks over new Man City deal.

Pep Guardiola has yet to conclude contract negotiations over a new deal with Premier League champions Manchester City but said on Tuesday there is no urgency to do so. The Catalan has led City to the title in his second season in charge at the Etihad and is now two-thirds of the way through the initial three-year contact he signed when he moved to Manchester in the summer of 2016. It means Guardiola, 47, has now won the league title in all three of the major European countries in which he has managed, following success in Spain with Barcelona and in Germany with Bayern Munich. But he has also established a habit of short spells with those clubs, having spent four seasons managing his hometown club Barca and three in the Bundesliga. Guardiola, talking ahead of City’s final home game of the season against Brighton, remained relaxed about the situation, not least because club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, plus chief executive Ferran Soriano and director of football Txi...

'Canada Warned' There Would be no free ticket for Asylum Seekers.

Waves of asylum seekers continue to cross into Canada from the United States, drawing concerns that the numbers will only rise as the weather gets warmer. Over the last year, Canada has seen what has been called an "unprecedented" surge of asylum seekers, with more than 25,000 people intercepted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as they crossed from the US since January 2017 to March 2018. And this year, the rate appears to be growing. The number of people intercepted in the first three months of 2018 more than doubled those in the same time period last year. And in 2017, the number of people intercepted at the border escalated in the summer. Nigerian asylum seekers arrive to Canada Many of the asylum seekers take buses or taxis to a US border town, and walk over to the other side of the border, where they are intercepted by Canadian officials. Asylum seekers have pointed to their gro...

Learn Google Initiated Language 'Go Programming Language' ..........

Go by Example : Hello World Our first program will print the classic “hello world” message. Here’s the full source code. package main import "fmt" func main () { fmt . Println ( "hello world" ) } To run the program, put the code in hello-world.go and use go run . $ go run hello-world.go hello world Sometimes we’ll want to build our programs into binaries. We can do this using go build . $ go build hello-world.go $ ls hello-world hello-world.go We can then execute the built binary directly. $ ./hello-world hello world Now that we can run and build basic Go programs, let’s learn more about the language.

How to Get Started with Microsoft Language 'TypeScript' .........

Microsoft introduced TypeScript , a typed superset for JavaScript that compiles into plain JavaScript. TypeScript focuses on providing useful tools for large scale applications by implementing features, such as classes, type annotations, inheritance, modules and much more! In this tutorial, we will get started with TypeScript, using simple bite-sized code examples, compiling them into JavaScript, and viewing the instant results in a browser. Installing the Tools TypeScript features are enforced only at compile-time. You'll set up your machine according to your specific platform and needs. Windows and Visual Studio users can simply download the Visual Studio Plugin . If you're on Windows and don't have Visual Studio, give Visual Studio Express for Web a try. The TypeScript experience in Visual Studio is currently superior to other code editors. If you're on a different platform (or don't want to use Visual Studio), all you need is a text editor...
