# State Bank of India warns of muted credit growth, misses quarterly profit estimates

## 

Shares of SBI closed down 2.7 per cent after the results in a Mumbai market that was 0.16 per cent higher.

State Bank of India (SBI) joined its peers in flagging concerns about tough domestic economic conditions and the stress the auto sector is under, as the country's largest lender by assets missed expectations for quarterly profit.

Rivals HDFC Bank Ltd and ICICI Bank Ltd too have warned of the negative impact of India's ongoing economic slowdown, with a slump in auto sales cropping up as a major pain point.

Mumbai-based SBI has an exposure of 115 billion rupees to auto dealers, Chairman Rajnish Kumar said during a post-earnings conference call on Friday, but clarified that there was no risk of concentration of stress.

Shares of SBI closed down 2.7 per cent after the results in a Mumbai market that was 0.16 per cent higher.

Kumar also warned that it would be difficult to increase the bank's net interest margins (NIM), a key indicator of the bank's profitability, due to muted credit growth.

In the quarter, NIM rose 6 basis points (bps) to 3.01 per cent from a year ago, but was 1 bps lower than the previous quarter.

The lender expects its NIM to be around 3.1 per cent in FY20, while its loan book is seen growing by 12 per cent, largely flat over last year.

"What was working for the bank was growth in its retail lending book. Now, the slowdown in consumption is surely (going) to depress loan growth in FY20," said Saurabh Jain, assistant vice-president research, SMC Global Securities.

Meanwhile, net interest income climbed 5.2 per cent to 229.39 billion rupees, missing analysts' expectations of 234.87 billion rupees.

However, asset quality, an issue that has pestered Indian lenders for years as bad loans surged, was stable at SBI. Gross non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans stood at 7.53 per cent at June-end, flat over the previous quarter and lower than 10.69 per cent in the same period last year.

Bad loan provisions dived 11 per cent in the quarter, while slippages, or the fresh addition of bad loans, spiked due to loan waivers the government handed out on agricultural loans.

SBI expects gross slippage ratio, which stood at 2.83 per cent by June end, to come below 2 per cent before the end of the year.

The lender's profit came in at 23.12 billion rupees for the three months ended June 30, versus a loss of 48.76 billion rupees reported last year due to lower trading income and treasury losses.

That missed analysts' expectations for a profit of 40.83 billion rupees, according to Refinitiv data, largely due to a tax expense of 17.51 billion rupees. Before taxes, the bank earned 40.63 billion rupees in profits.

## Product Reviews for Pyramex I-Force Convertible Safety Goggle/Glasses with Black Frame and Gray Anti-Fog Lens

Pyramex I-Force Convertible Safety Goggle/Glasses with Black Frame and Gray Anti-Fog Lens4wabikerMarch 9, 2013Im always on the prowl for eyewear for riding...effective but inexpensive. I have long since given up on *sunglasses* or things of that type.(bye bye raybans when I looked over my shoulder during a lane change) As Ariz has some mean crosswinds at times, that totally void the effectiveness of sunglass's type eyewear. ie watery eyes, dust, dirt etc. To that end Ive switched to goggles. Have tried several different brands. Cheaper stuff found on the display racks at the local circle K, pricier stuff from the Harley Shop, and some different mail order brands... priced from a low of $8 thru a high of $50. All have come up short for various reasons. ie Build quality, Fit, long term comfort, lack of periphery vision etc. I think I have found one that fills the bill, in spades...at least for me....so far. Pyramex IForce Safety goggles: Dual lens anti-fog, Low profile, Form fitting (fits my mug anyway) Semi wrap lens for good periphery vision. (doesnt feel like Im trying to look thru binoculars) Closed cell foam padding (personally hate open cell foam for this application) Inter changeable headbands (strap/strap with temple bars) So far the only thing I dont like about them, is the narrow head band. I think a wider band would be better. Still not decided on the temple attachment point, which is a weak point with interchangeable type headband/temple bars. The true test will be when AZ Monsoon season hits. I bought 2, smoke and amber for night riding... $18.50 pr.

# Fun with Airbrushing

    

what sort of equipment we need?  
what sort of colours are available?  
any sort of info you could pass on would be a great help thanks..

    

Hi Sarah,  
I like your idea about doing a video...  
The basics would be good...lol  
any tips you have found that help make the process faster...

    

Hmmm...Well, I know you are right but...I'm not even sure where to start!

    

Don't be scared! I was for years and then as soon as I started I was like- Why did I put this off so ling?! It's so much fun! Even if you don't know what you are doing. I didn't know either I've basically just taught myself, it's that easy.

    

I really don't know enough about it to say! I've never done it and I'm a bit scared to start since I keep hearing conflicting thoughts on the process. Silly, I know. Actually, I'd love to know about doing it a variety of ways, with canned air and otherwise - so that I can do it both ways and see what works best for me. And the reasons why you do what you do. I am one who needs to understand all of it - from the technique to the science so that I can apply it to future things.

    

Thanks guys! I discussed shooting a video with my husband so maybe we can get it together. Maybe you could give me a few pointers as to what you would like to see. I do use cans of air which I think most people don't fancy.

    

These are so beautiful, Sarah!

    

Nice, that´s something I want to master, airbrushing.
# [法甲赛季总结]数说法甲——新赛季，能够有人匹敌巴黎么？

他轰然而至，而却飘然而去。兹拉坦·伊布拉希莫维奇周六在王子公园的最后一战是非凡的。在这场与南特的交锋当中，观众们在第十分钟为这位在法甲联赛中打进超过100球的伟大前锋起立鼓掌，而在泪目中，这位巴黎的传奇拥着自己的两个孩子走下了球场。  
  
（这名传奇射手本赛季占到了球队很大的进球比率）这名来自瑞典的进球机器本赛季在法甲联赛中打进了38球，超越了传奇射手卡洛斯·比安奇在97-98赛季打进37球的俱乐部纪录。这赛季他的进球在布兰科的球队中占到了38%的比率，所以下赛季球队想念他是一定的，要记得他还贡献了13次助攻。另外一项优秀数据也出现这赛季。迪马利亚成为了助攻王（18），而伊布这赛季也愿意放弃一些球权，分享给迪马利亚，以此来提升球队的竞争力。38个进球中有32个是在禁区内打进的，所以这赛季的伊布似乎又回到了他熟悉的传统中锋的位置。  
（35岁的伊布老而弥坚，多项数据创造了生涯新高，评分也是来到巴黎后4年中的最高）伊布的离去，卡瓦尼或许是最大的受惠者。这赛季在他首发了24次，打进了19球。如果下赛季球队以他为进攻核心这个数字应该还会增长，尽管很明显，在这个夏天巴黎还会有一笔天价引援。马赛与摩纳哥接下来何去何从这个令人绝望赛季的最后一场比赛的表现，就像是马赛整个赛季的缩影。和联赛副班长特鲁瓦的对抗，马赛尽管19次打门，占到60.3%的控球率，但是他们却丝毫找不到取胜之匙。半场时他们落后着，史蒂文·弗莱彻的爆射扳平让球队看到了获胜的希望，但之后他射失的点球则要为丢掉三分而背锅。弗莱彻，还有回租来的托万，可能都不会在下赛季出现在球队了，有些球迷或许觉得这不是一件坏事。这赛季马赛只赢了十场球，在主场韦洛德姆球场更是只赢下了可怜的三场，最终以13名的糟糕成绩结束了这个赛季。真的问题在于球员们的状态与去留，主心骨，球队的队长与门将史蒂夫－曼丹达，中卫尼克拉斯－恩库鲁，这赛季都没有达到他们的最佳水平。而发挥出色的拉萨拿·迪亚拉（Whoscored评分7.29）以及球队的当家射手米奇·巴舒亚伊（17球9助攻）在夏天都会离开球队了。  
  
（巴舒亚伊已经在采访中亲承夏季会离队，这位年轻高效的比利时前锋是众多英超豪门眼中的香饽饽）一个懂得如何合理激发巴舒亚伊最大能量的强硬教头是极为重要的。看起来豪尔赫·桑保利是一个不错的选择，而他的“贝尔萨”式革命也是球迷所呼吁的。对于这名前智利国家的主教练来说，若他掌管马赛，要是有资金来重建球队，一场从头到脚的彻底整治一定是不可避免的。而对于海岸球队摩纳哥来说，就像上周提到的那样，也有同样的事情需要考虑，只不过他们打进了前三。所以主教练莱昂纳多·雅尔迪姆的帅位是暂时安全的。里昂能够真正成为冠军的争夺者么？圣诞前后，里昂的表现就好比白日对比黑夜，或者，更精确地说，是在胡伯特·福尼尔与布鲁诺·热内西奥整治下的不同。除了收官战1-4被兰斯击败外，布鲁诺的工作还是卓有成效的，他在半途接手的情况下，带领球队在半个赛季里拿下了联赛积分65分中的39分，以此确定了一个直接晋级下赛季欧冠正赛的名额。现在挑战仍然是有的。上个夏天里昂的工作开展是优秀的，他们和俱乐部最优秀的青训球员，亚历山大·拉卡泽特和纳比尔·费基尔签订了新合同，转会市场上砸下重金买入了马蒂厄·瓦尔武埃纳和赛尔吉·达德尔。瓦尔武埃纳或许在历经一个失望赛季后会选择离开，法国人本赛季首发出战21场，贡献了1个进球5次助攻，但是不断提高的达德尔和扬加·姆比瓦，这名后卫从三月起的评分是7.22，对比他的总评只有6.94，他们是符合这只年轻球队的风格的。  
  
（赛季后半程里昂的表现是极佳的，仅次于巴黎）避免重蹈上赛季欧冠联赛悲惨表现的覆辙是热内西奥的首要工作。为加深阵容厚度，传言他有意签下图卢兹的前锋维萨姆·本·耶德尔——本赛季只有伊布，拉卡泽特和卡瓦尼比他打进的17球要更多。这至少能够稍微填补一下里昂与冠军之间31分的巨大鸿沟。尼斯下赛季会是一幅怎样光景？克劳德·普尔的尼斯本赛季掀起了一场革命，他们以第四名结束了这个赛季，并且全攻全守的风格赢得了广大球迷的喜爱。只有PSG（102）里昂（67）要比他们打进的58球要多，而他们的排名甚至没法体现这只球队这赛季的优秀，最后十轮他们仅仅输了两场，这也迫使摩纳哥最后必须拿下比赛才能够确保第三名。欧罗巴联赛如果有这赛季尼斯的加入那可真是极好的，但是这并不会发生了。他们主要的人员流失很明显，合同期满的哈特姆·本·阿尔法为了个人职业生涯更高的追求一定对离开的。他的17个进球与6次助攻，带来的全队最高的7.58的评分，将会很难取代，更不容提他这赛季他的精神属性加成了。  
  
(本阿尔法的这赛季的爆发是所有人都没有想到的，不过合同已经到期的他看起来要离开球队了)本阿尔法不会是唯一离队的球员，尽管如此，阿里桑·普里尔，这名年轻的天才前锋下赛季看来会继续留守在安联－里维埃拉球场。这名里昂的青训球员（17次首发打进了6球4个助攻）有一条高达4000万欧元的违约金条款，但是表现极佳的热尔曼（14个进球6个助攻），他只是一名从摩纳哥来的租将。杰雷米·皮德，自从打右后卫起他就发挥出色（平均得分7.29）他的合同也将到期。  
  
(年轻的普里尔出道于里昂青训，他曾经代表法国U19参加过12年U19欧青赛)对于普尔也是一样。这位出色的教练也有可能离开。就他激活本阿尔法，热尔曼，皮德还有里卡多·佩雷拉的表现来看，他不会缺少下家的。尼斯的主席里维埃需要赶快开展工作使他们的小船不翻。

# Passenger train crashes into concrete block

British Transport Police (BTP) officers are appealing for information after a passenger service struck a large concrete block placed on the running rails near Beacon Hill tunnel in Halifax on Wednesday, May 14 at around 7.25pm.

PC Dan Worthington from British Transport Police said: “The train involved, the 17.43pm Manchester Victoria to York service struck the block but luckily no-one on board was injured and there was no damage caused to the train itself.

“This could have been a whole different story however the train which was travelling at speed could have quite easily have derailed and the consequences would have been horrific”

Following the incident, enquiries were made and an area search was carried out by officers but to no avail.

PC Worthington added: “I cannot emphasise enough the dangers associated with this type of crime. Not only is it reckless behaviour by those responsible, but they put lives on the line.

“It is completely unacceptable and I would urge anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area or who has any information about the incident, to contact police.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or by text 61016 quoting PSUB/B5 of 21/05/2014. Information can also be passed to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 555.

## Abd al-Aziz al-Amawi

#### Born on 1838

#### Died on 1896

Although it is unknown whether Abdul al-aziz al-Amawi was sixteen, or eighteen, what is established is that as a teenager, he was entrusted with a highly important position acting as judge of Kilwa. Kilwa was one of the major East African city-states that traded across the Indian Ocean. From such a momentus beginning, this scholar, born in Barawa, Somalia, in 1838, became an ambassador, writer, historian, lexicographer and translator.

His ambassadorial duties were undertaken on behalf of the Omani (Bu Saidi) rulers, who moved their centre of operations, from Muscat to Zanzibar – where al-Amawi was appointed Qadi (judge), after fulfilling that task so well at Kilwa. The diplomatic travels took him into the East African mainland, as well as along the coast.

Amongst his diverse writings, one of his better known is a history of the Bu Saidi dynasty – which commences with their Zanzibari residence. Another, is the poem Iqd al-la ali (Necklace of Pearls), which pays homage to monotheism.

To bolster levels of literacy amongst the general community, he began the compilation of a Swahili-Arabic dictionary, which was unfinished at his death.

His great facility with words, took him into the world of translation – and inter-faith interaction.

Some of his writings are held in the Zanzibar National Archives, which due to the wealth of their contents, was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Registar.

Abd al-Aziz al-Amawi, died in 1896, holding the judgeship of Zanzibar; a true polymath, respected along the East African coast – from homeland Somalia, to the Comorro Islands.
