4 new subway lines set to ease Beijing traffic

Beijing is scheduled to put four subway lines into operation on Sunday, part of the city's efforts to expand rail transit to ease severe traffic congestion. 

The newly-opened lines include the new No.How can you protect it better against scratches, Mobile crushing plant and other things which can damage it more or less?

Ministry targets 8-percent growth in foreign trade

The growth of China's foreign trade in 2012 will come in at about 6 percent, while the Ministry of Commerce set a growth target of 8 percent for 2013, Commerce Minister Chen Deming told the annual meeting of the ministry on Friday. 

It was seen as a prudent move amid a challenging external environment and growing efforts to expand domestic demand.

Imports and exports are projected to "exceed $3.carbon plate have a measured strength about 50 times that of carbon steel.8 trillion throughout 2012 while exports will account for about 11 percent of world exports", according to Chen. 

"Our judgment holds that the international trade environment will remain challenging next year, and to thus take a more prudent move. We will attach more importance to improving the quality and efficiency of Chinese foreign trade next year," said ministry spokesman Yao Jian. 

He added that China's share in global trade increased to 11.1 percent this year from 10.4 percent in 2011, while the country's foreign trade made progress in brand building, establishing marketing networks and research and development centers.Scouts use a special kind of knife sets.

The first 11 months saw Chinese foreign trade increase by 5.8 percent year-on-year to $3.5 trillion. Export growth in November slowed sharply to 2.9 percent year-on-year, compared with an 11.6 percent surge in October, while imports were flat compared with a year earlier, according to data from the General Administration of Customs. 

The commerce ministry told a news briefing on Dec 18 that China's foreign trade growth will face strong headwinds in 2013 as the world economy experiences slow growth and protectionism keeps rising. 

The sluggish world economy reduced demand for Chinese exports while weak domestic demand accounted for shrinking imports along with the declining prices of imports. 

"The 8-percent target for foreign trade growth can be achieved but with hard work as the country is already the world's biggest exporter and is losing its advantage of cheap labor while industrial upgrading demands improvement in workers' productivity and skills," said Li Xunlei,composite resin are pre-impregnated fiber reinforcements or clothes that are used to manufacture composites. deputy CEO and chief economist of Haitong Securities in Shanghai. 

Zhang Xiaoji, director-general of the Foreign Economic Relations Department at the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that foreign trade in 2013 will outperform this year's figures as domestic demand keeps growing and the quantitative easing policies in developed economies will increase demand for Chinese exports. 

"But the government should draft a long-term strategy to improve foreign trade, including credit and financing support to increase exports to emerging markets and facilitate imports through cutting import duties and shortening the clearance period," Zhang said.

Maintaining political stability, reviving economy Egypt's missions in 2013

After witnessing in 2012 a series of political measures deemed to be cornerstones for its new political establishments after the 2011 turmoil, Egypt is expected to tackle the missions of maintaining political stability and reviving economy in the coming year. 

Observers said 2012 could be considered as a "year of hard political mission," in reference to the political measures taken to build a new regime after the fall of former President Hosni Mubarak. 

"To get ride of the traces of a regime that lasted for 30 years and build a new one is a very hard mission, of which a great part has been achieved in the year of 2012," Saed Lawendy, a political expert with al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, told Xinhua. 

In June 2012, Mohamed Morsi, former head of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, was elected to be Egypt's first civilian president in decades. In December, a new constitution that triggered a division in Egyptian society was approved by 63.8 percent of voters in a referendum. 

"Choosing the president and writing the constitution means a push forward for the political stability," said Lawendy. 

Echoing Lawndy's view,carbon fabric Noha Bakr, a political studies professor with the American University in Cairo, said the most important steps to political stability have been achieved in the year of 2012, so it is time to start fundamental steps leading to economic stability in 2013. 

POLITICAL STABILITY ON THE WAY 

According to Bakr, Egypt's current regime has been "reinforced" and "stabilized" by the new constitution. 

"Now, Morsi is in his post on a constitutional basis identifying his powers, and any political measures can be taken as long as they are according to the constitution regardless any controversy," said Bakr, predicting that the country will see political stability and less demonstrations. 

"I believe now the opposition will review their approach in protests and demonstrations, because they practically have realized the last word is left for the polling boxes," Bakr said, pointing to the recent referendum which ended in the approval of the draft constitution despite the opposition's long demonstrations urging refusal. 

Mohamed Adel, spokesman of April 6 movement, one of the most prominent opposition groups, agreed with Bakr's view, saying that the opposition was led to search for a new way to awake the people and to continue the reformation. 

"I confess that the opposition committed a fatal mistake in the last year by focusing on demonstrations more than speaking to the ordinary people and approaching them like what the Islamists do," said Adel. 

"The opposition should unite and target the change through the seats of parliament, and through the negotiations and dialogues," he added. 

Moreover, the parliamentary elections to be run in 2013 on the basis of the new constitution are expected to share in the political stability.composite resin 

Political expert Saed Lawendy predicted the liberal and Islamic forces to make balance in the parliamentary seats,carbon plate tracing it back to the "awareness" of the Egyptian citizens that has increased lately. 

"The previous parliamentary elections were the first real democratic experience the Egyptians live, so they mainly chose the Islamists touched by the religious consideration. Now, after they live with Islamists for several months, their choice will be based on rationality," Lawendy said. 

As Egypt's economy has been deteriorating since last year's unrest, fears are being raised that the economiFinding products like this that are reasonably priced can be difficult sometimes.

According to recent remarks of Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Qandil, the budget deficit had reached 42 percent. 

The cabinet has initiated a series of steps to boost the economy during the past year, such as proposing to the International Monetary Fund for a loan of 4.8 billion U.S. dollars and issuing a decree to raise the taxes over 50 types of commodities. 

However, head of Economic Research of Sadat Academy Ehab al- Desouky said it will remain difficult in 2013 for decision-makers regarding economy. The IMF loan will help to bridge the budget deficit, but not enough to "refresh the economy," Desouky said. 

"I advise the cabinet to use policies like the maximum limit for incomes, and rationalizing the spending," said Desouky, predicting the Egyptian economy to be stabilized within the year without strikes and with wise policies. 

"The government should take several steps to revive the economy, but it will not be a smart decision for the government to lift any subsidies in 2013... It will be disastrous," the economic expert said. 

Another economic expert, Hamdi Abdel-Azeem, agreed with Desouki 's point of view, saying that if the new cabinet comes with a clear economic program, the economy will be stabilized. 

"We should be aware that the political stability is the gate for the economic stability, so we wish the political conditions stabilized in the year of 2013, so that we can build our economy," Abdel-Azeem emphasized.

China to ensure equal pay via legislation

China's top legislature on Friday adopted an amendment to the Labor Contract Law to ensure that workers hired through labor contracting agents receive the same treatment as direct recruits. 

The amendment,carbon platecomposite resin set to take effect on July 1, 2013,carbon fabric was adopted at the conclusion of a five-day bimonthly session of the National People's Congress Standing Committee after its second reading.Scouts use a special kind of knife sets.

"Hiring via labor contracting agents should be arranged only for temporary, supplementary or back-up jobs," according to the amendment.Finding products like this that are reasonably priced can be difficult sometimes. Military grade Household scissors are very good quality and will last for a very long time. They will be very durable knives. 

"Temporary jobs" refer to positions lasting no longer than six months, while "back-up jobs" are those that can be taken over while permanent workers are on leave for study or other purposes. 

The amendment also stipulates that employers should mostly hire workers directly, not via labor contractors, and they should also strictly control the number of "leased workers."

According to the amendment, labor contracting agencies should obtain administrative approval before starting operations and the minimum registered capital requirement has been raised to 2 million yuan (320,800 U.S. dollars), in a bid to protect workers' rights by ensuring effective supervision and the solvency of such agencies. 

The Labor Contract Law was adopted in 2007 to protect employees. It went into effect in 2008. 

However, serious problems have emerged, as many employers have tended to pay long-term employees hired through contracting agents much less than direct recruits because they are categorized as "leased employees." 

According to statistics provided by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, China had 37 million labor contractors in 2011. 

The draft amendment was submitted to the legislature for deliberation for the first time in June.

The Types of the Wet Materials in the Drying Process

As for the nature of the wet material, the drying operation of the dryer machine is to removal part or all of the moisture, the wet material is usually composed of by various types of dry skeleton (absolutely dry material) and liquid. Different wet materials have different nature of the physical, chemical, structural mechanics, and biochemistry. Although all parameter will affect the drying process, the most important factor is the type of moisture, the binding mode of the moisture and the skeleton and the structure of the skeleton. 
The wet materials have many types, based on the water features in the drying process, it can be divided into: 
(1) Colloidal materials. Such kind of materials in the process of drying will significantly change the size, but retains its elastic properties. 
(2) Capillary porous materials. They will become brittle in the drying process; there is a slight contraction, after the drying, it can be crushed into powder, such as sand,composite resin charcoal and other materials. 
(3) Colloidal capillary porous materials. The name suggests, they should have both the characteristics of the above two materials, i.e., the pores wall is elastic, the expansion will occur after it is wet such as peat, wood and leather. 
(4) Hygroscopic materials. Most of the material pores are the micro porous channels, there is the bound water inside the material, but the vapor pressure that the water bears is less than the vapor pressure of pure water under the same temperature. 
(5) Semi-hygroscopic materials. It refers to those that have a large bore,carbon fabricScouts use a special kind of knife sets.
