I have no idea as I have
been to the West but looks like the shopping spree is on for the economy
showing WE HAVE A PROBLEM. DOUBT THIS NOT Luxembourg Ambassador to India Gaston today invited the industry
of northern region to invest in the European
country to cement the bialteral trade between the two nations. The Ambassador was here to
explore business opportunities between India and Luxembourg at an interactive
session organised by PHD Chamber. He said in his address that a slew of
business opportunities exist between India and Luxembourg in the financial and
infrastructural sectors. "Luxembourg being one of the world's leading
nations in terms of accumulation of capital and globally ranked second in
financial investments is a prospective investment destination for Indian
stakeholders," he said. Stronck said almost 150 Indian companies are
listed on the stock exchange of Luxembourg. Luxembourg, in spite of its
"tiny size" and a very small population of less than five million,
has become an economic powerhouse of Europe with one of the highest GDP rates
and financial growth, he added. Claiming that his country, situated
between Germany and Belgium in central Europe, is one of the largest financial
hubs of the world, the Luxembourg ambassador said that his country had become
the single largest hub for 'Investment Fund' with a total corpus of over euros
2200 billion. He said logistics and Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) are other potential sectors for investment as Luxembourg has
the biggest ICT industry in EU, said Stronck. With the proximity to the
vast Western European market, a stable government, the presence of a sound technology and
infrastructural base and a strong financial regulatory body are some factors
which have spurred the country to be a frontrunner in the finance and
industrial sectors, he said. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA Don't

By definition, a rape incorporates an unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse. As such, there cannot be legitimate rape unless its meaning has been willfully altered.
Moreover, marriage does not necessarily legalize intercourse without consent. (vzc1943)
The one with the Taliban cheering on Akin made me laugh. The I realized it was funny because its true and that made me cry a little inside.
