Orient Overseas Container Line moved more containers in the second quarter of 2016 than the same period a year before.
Press Releases
03 May 2016
Pacific International Lines is looking beyond today's bleak business climate and is aiming to make a splash later this month.
29 Apr 2016
After three straight weeks of decline, the spot rate for shipping a 40-foot-equivalent unit container from Shanghai to the West Coast shot up this week.
25 Apr 2016
Betting on the troubled container shipping industry probably makes more sense than investing in it, and a bookmaker would be salivating at the permutations available to the eight shipping lines "orphaned" by the Ocean Alliance that was formed last week.
22 Apr 2016
Spot rates in the eastbound trans-Pacific eroded this week in the interim period of lackluster import volumes that will continue for the coming month or so until traffic picks up in the summer-fall peak-shipping season.
18 Apr 2016
Spot market rates in the eastbound trans-Pacific edged lower for the second straight week, demonstrating that general rate increases taken by some carriers on April 1 are eroding.
12 Apr 2016
Shipping lines struggling under the burden of surplus capacity and weak demand appear to have abandoned all attempts to improve profitability this year, according to container contract rate data from Drewry.
05 Apr 2016
Spot rates in the eastbound trans-Pacific jumped inexplicably this week to both coasts after declining steadily for the previous 12 weeks. This could indicate the bottom in freight rates has been found and rates may climb as the trade moves closer to the busy summer and fall shipping season.
01 Apr 2016
Container lines are still slow-steaming their vessels despite the plunge in bunker fuel prices due to abnormal market conditions, including "rock bottom" ship charter and container leasing rates, according to Alphaliner.
28 Mar 2016
Eastbound trans-Pacific spot rates slipped 2 percent to a new low of $748 for a 40-foot container bound for the U.S. West Coast from Shanghai, as carriers and beneficial cargo owners negotiate contracts for the coming year.
18 Mar 2016
Spot freight rates from Shanghai to the West Coast hit a record low this week, dropping to $761 per 40-foot container.
16 Mar 2016
The 16th Annual TPM Conference in Long Beach generated industry headlines and insights available nowhere else.

national parks
Southern Alabama's Mobile-Tensaw River Delta is one of the most biologically diverse spots in North America. Some environmental activists, among them E.O. Wilson, are pushing for a new national park in the area to protect the delta's biodiversity from development. But support is limited in a state that views federal interference with suspicion. Jeffrey Brown reports. Continue reading

So far, he's visited 34 parks across the nation and shows no sign of slowing down. Continue reading

WASHINGTON — Under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the nation prepared for the 50th birthday of the National Park Service with a spending splurge that refurbished Independence Hall in Philadelphia and helped complete the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway. Next year, the world-famous system turns 100 and the celebration will be far more modest. Continue reading

172 reviews | 4.8 out of 5
We had hours of fun. just make sure you have alot of room between each other when playin two player. Alot more fun than WII sports!!
I love the kinect system. It works well and this game is one of three that I bought for it. I had so much fun playing it, I was sweating and sore the next day. Take it easy and enjoy it with friends. It is a fun way to get a bit of activity into those winter months.
This game is a blast. The Kinect is hilarious!!! it keeps you moving and then you can rest and watch yourself playing without all the scenery around you. the only problem I've had with the game is that my mother is always wanting to play too...Would definately recommend it!!!
I got this game based on a lot of really good reviews. It has a lot of different mini games which make it quite varying which is a big plus. The most annoying thing is the MENU. if you just played a game of table tennis and you want to simply play boxing instead. you have to go through a whole bunch of menus holding your arm out... its ok for a couple of times but when you are changing sports 10+ times in one session - it gets really annoying. and you cant use the xbox controller instead. The soccer was REALLY disappointing. you cannot run with the ball and the gameplay doesnt flow at all. The table tennis is pretty good but 25% of the time if you go to play a backhand shot, the arm of the person just goes into a seizure and misses the ball. This leads to much frustration! The boxing is quite good, BUT you cannot duck and weave or move in and out of range... Plus the blocking doesn't react fast enough... The track game is the best on there, I have no complaints... It's a lot of fun! Volley ball and bowling are good too... Overall I gave this 4* because there is a lot to do and it can be a lot of fun. 3* on meets expectations because i really expected the boxing and soccer to be far more involved. Would still recommend it. It's the best game to come out on Kinect so far. I am just hoping for an update that fixes the menu so you just change sport and play again, and an update to boxing so i can duck and weave!
I cant believe this is actually a video game its so much fun an its a added bonus not to have the controllers to worry about! Very high energy an funny to watch people do it!
Lots of fun, even our 3 year old can play and navigate the menus.
Loving every minute of it. Never could use those joysticks now I play with just my body movement. The only game I really play is bowling and I can not get enough of it.
this game is a great game to get your blood flowing! You have to move and compete all with your physical immagination. its also great for the kids to get up an play instead of sitting stationary.
I just bought this game yesterday and can already tell that I made a good purchase! Playing the games kept us laughing and it's simple enough that even my 4 year old can play. The volleyball is kind of hard when you play against someone but it will just take a little practice. I would definitely recommend this product.
The family and I have many hours of fun....
Wow, my wife and I love this game. It's great and a perfect display of the kinect abilities. You get many different modes and sports to chose from and they are all very fun. it reads you perfectly as long as you give yourself 6 to 8 feet away from the sensor. I HIGHLY recomend this game if you are a wii owner and new kinect owner and are looking for the wii sports type game, go out and get this!
This game definitely met my expectations. It's pretty accurate and lots of fun. Not to mention, a pretty decent cardio workout. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I'm not sure I'll end up playing by myself. It is much more fun as a party game. We had a blast watching the recordings.
This game is so much fun! It gets you off of the couch so you can be part of the game! You get your exercise and at the same time you are having a blast! The Kinect Sensor is very accurate in this game and detects every single movement of your body. Its so much fun having no controller to play this game because it makes it so easy and so much fun to play. All the games are excellent and so much fun to play! There are 6 action packed games (Soccer, Volleyball, Track & Field, Bowling, Table Tennis, and Boxing). There are some mini games too which are also a lot of fun. This game is amazing and an absolute MUST HAVE for all XBOX 360 owners with Kinect! I absolutely recommend this game! You will have a blast with all your friends and family! Go buy it now if you don't own this game! :)
This is way better than the Wii sport which is one of the best game. Kinect Sport is very easy to play, even my 4 year-old daughter got hooked and spend 2-3 hours playing volleyball easily with this game. This is a must have game if you have Kinect.
I bought this game along with a Kinect for my husband. He ABSOLUTELY LOVES it!! So does my son and daughter. Great game...lots of fun for the family and some of the games on it actually give you a good workout.
I bought this for my boys ages 6, and 10. They like it. I did not think I would like it. I don't play video games at all, but I love it. Lots of game choices, good way to get off of the couch.
We played this game as a family. We were all sweating, the ages ranged from 3-37. We had a ball especially on the compete mode.
Great game. Loved playing this game over the internet with family members in another state.
Great action game, lots of fun.
We have had a lot fun with this. Everyone likes it from Grandparents to Grandbabies.
I have bought this game for my child, and for gifts to my family and friends. The graphics are crystal clear. This is a family night, must have.

Do you ever ask anyone what happens when they hear music? I didn't before I read this book. Now I plan to ask everyone.
Dr. Sacks has the kind of fine writing style and awareness of music that makes his tales seem as appealing as the cases that Dr. Sigmund Freud wrote about. As Dr. Sacks pointed out, Dr. Freud didn't care for music so that gentleman failed to investigate and report on many of the phenomena in this book.
We don't exactly know why the mind and body interact with music in the ways that they do. Part is undoubtedly heredity. Part is undoubtedly due to exposure to musical influences. Some may relate to the language spoken in the home. Difficulties with seeing may also be an influence. Injuries to the body and brain can play a large role. Dr. Sacks does a masterly job of using case after case to explore one aspect or another of these dimensions so that a complex picture emerges that's even more remarkable than the brain processes involved in reading.
One of the biggest surprises in the book is that musical talent seems to be inhibited by some parts of the brain. In similar way, music can also inhibit some other brain functions that we would like to get rid of.
I had always wondered about those with perfect pitch, and the book explores that. There are also wonderful sections on other seemingly inherited musical abilities.
Dr. Sacks adds a lot of perspective to the history of music by making observations about various composers and the way that their compositions reflect certain musical abilities than others while explaining how the mental processes are different.Read more ›
Music arising in the mind without prompting may seem a common enough occurence. The advertising industry has demonstated fully music as an uncontrollable meme. The cases Sacks portrays here are of another sort. In some cases the music has taken over - sometimes supplanting other thinking processes and reducing the victim to near helplessness. The chief problem is often a lack of variety. More than the adverts' jingles, particular tunes may emerge from the distant past to occupy the sufferer's waking hours. A well-disciplined mind, such as Doctor P's, may be able to use the uncalled for music in ways that get them through daily tasks. Others don't have that ability and the music proves a terrible distraction. The music renders them "incapable of hearing themselves think".
Therapy for such conditions is in its infancy and may actually be subverted by the deluge of music impinging our ears daily. Sacks notes the proliferation of the iPod devices bringing music to listeners who seem to pass the day in another realm. This, however, is not relieving a condition, but may be generating a new one.Read more ›
Although Sacks again re-uses many of his old case studies, now relating them to music, and still cites his own books and experiences more than anyone else's, he finally struck that chord of interest in me that had been strangely absent when reading his other work. Musicophilia is a highly intriguing exploration of how and why humans experience the many strange phenomena associated with what we call music, from the perspectives of both clinically normal and brain-damaged individuals. For example, where do auditory hallucinations come from and what do they mean? What occurs when we cannot get a song "out of our heads"? How is it that the most severely amnesic man in the world cannot even remember that he had been conscious one minute before, but can play from memory complicated piano pieces or conduct an orchestra?Read more ›

Whether it's breathing in the magic of the theatre, marvelling at the artistry of the performers, or simply enjoying the thrill of a well-deserved night out, there is undeniably something unforgettable about an evening spent at the ballet.
We encouraged our Twitter followers to indulge in a moment of nostalgia and tell us about their first experiences of the ballet — be it live on the Covent Garden stage, or further afield — and we were not disappointed:

Try to describe Wikipedia to someone who's never heard of it and they won't believe you. A free encyclopedia to which anyone can contribute, which is actually useful? But you've never likely to have that conversation anyway; with more than 6 billion page views a month, Wikipedia is the fifth most popular website – and an amazing resource for the sharing of knowledge on a global scale.
Wikipedia is a work in progress, and dance is one of the areas that needs improvement. At the Royal Opera House we're passionate about sharing ballet and opera with the world – and Wikipedia is one of the most far-reaching ways to do that. That's why we've teamed up with Wikimedia UK to host a number of 'editathons' – focussed sessions to improve particular articles. In our previous editathons – on Ashton and MacMillan – we opened the invitation to everyone. But this time we turned our attention to the ROH Student Ambassadors.
The ROH Student Ambassadors are selected from the ROH Students scheme to be passionate advocates for the work of the Royal Opera House within their respective universities. They're creative, confident and share our love for opera and ballet. We invited them to an evening performance of Swan Lake, and in the afternoon set them to work on editing Wikipedia on a subject of their choice. Joining us were experienced Wikipedians Tim Riley and Jonathan Cardy, who provided invaluable insight into the ins and outs of editing.
The Ambassadors made tremendous improvements to a wide range of articles. Some chose to focus on Swan Lake, and worked on the pages of original choreographer Lev Ivanov, producer of The Royal Ballet's production Anthony Dowell, and dancers Jonathan Cope and Derek Rencher, who created roles in the premiere of Dowell's 1987 production.
Others began work on the huge task of improving John Cranko's status on Wikipedia, whose minimal presence in the encyclopedia does not reflect his significance in 20th-century ballet. They improved his article, and created an entry for Onegin, one of Cranko's most popular ballets.
Other students looked to figures and works from across the history of ballet: Ivan Vsevolozhsky, director of the Imperial Theatres and a crucial figure in the creation of The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker; Kenneth MacMillan's Elite Syncopations; Royal Ballet dancer Melissa Hamilton and Birmingham Royal Ballet dancer Jenna Roberts; and choreographer Hofesh Shechter, who this year made his Royal Ballet debut.
Alicia Horsted, ROH Student Ambassador at the Open University, said 'As a Wikipedia user I really appreciate the articles that are available, so to be able to add or create something to help other people who would like an insight into a potential interest, or further the knowledge of die-hard fans, is absolutely brilliant. I found the experience addictive and it really captured my attention (which is hard for someone who is fidgety and easily distracted!). I can't wait to continue the work I began in the editathon'.
Steven Cuell from Oxford University 'spent the day researching the life and work of Lev Ivanov, whose work (and Wikipedia page!) is often forgotten under the shadow of Marius Petipa. It was exciting and rewarding to spend a day sharing knowledge that will, in its own little way, make information more accurate and accessible for ballet lovers everywhere'.
Kathleen Greene from the London College of Music said 'Wikipedia is such a helpful resource to many that being part of the editathon made me feel like I was contributing to something hugely important. And as a bonus, it was all to do with the arts! A great experience definitely worth trying'.
Jonathan from Wikipedia summarized: 'It was lovely to be able to work with such a lovely bright bunch of people!'

A new film from Royal Ballet First Artist, photographer and filmmaker Andre Uspenski shows a glimpse of the partnership between Iana Salenko and Steven McRae ahead of their performance in Swan Lake. Although this was only their first rehearsal ahead of the performance – due to Iana stepping in to cover Evgenia Obraztsova – the rapport between the two dancers is evident. Iana will also be appearing later in the run on Swan Lake, partnered by Vadim Muntagirov.
Iana Salenko made her debut as a Guest Artist with The Royal Ballet in 2013 when she appeared as Kitri alongside Steven McRae as Basilio in Don Quixote. She returned in the same role in 2014.
Andre Uspenski published a book of photographs last year entitled 'Steven McRae: Dancer in the Fast Lane'. It is available from the ROH Shop.]]>
Update (22 April 2015): Release date and pre-order details added
Anthony Dowell's iconic Royal Ballet production of Swan Lake is to be released on DVD for the first time since the remarkable 2009 performance by Marianela Nuñez and Thiago Soares.
The performance scheduled for release was captured during this week's live cinema relay. It stars Royal Ballet Principals Natalia Osipova and Matthew Golding, who form a formidable partnership as Odette/Odile and Prince Siegfried. Read audience reactions to the cinema relay.
'I don't imagine Odette as a magnificent swan', says Natalia. 'She is fragile and vulnerable, like a flower that has bloomed and you want to protect it. She wants to believe the Prince will save her from the curse, but she can't. I haven't danced Swan Lake with Matthew before – our artistic partnership has only just begun – but he's a fabulous, incredible dancer.'
The relay featured a series of backstage films, including rehearsal footage and interviews with members of the cast and creative team.
Download our Swan Lake Digital Programme, which contains specially selected features to bring you closer to the production.
Swan Lake is now available to order on DVD and Blu-Ray.]]>
'I grew up in the theatre [but] if anything, I hated classical dance,' confessed Zenaida Yanowsky, one of The Royal Ballet's most experienced dancers, at a recent ROH Insights event.
The Lyon-born Principal's exposure to dance began at a very young age. Brought up in France and Spain by contemporary dancers, she spent a lot of time behind the scenes at her parents' rehearsals and performances. Yet, despite this early exposure to dance, her artistic passions lay elsewhere and she was more interested in painting and singing, so much so that she surprised her mother when she made a sudden decision to become a professional ballet dancer: 'There was never any expectation from my Mum and Dad,' she said. 'It was very clear that they would never push us, but they were so involved and so in love with they did, that the passion for the art form was contagious.'
Aged 14, she attended a ballet summer school in Cuba that had a lasting impact on her. 'When I came back from that trip,' she told interviewer David Pickering, 'I said to my mum: "I think I want to dance!"'.
After winning competitions, including a silver medal at the prestigious International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, she joined Paris Opera Ballet and thought she had achieved her dream. But she soon realized that the French company wasn't for her: 'It was an amazing experience but I couldn't fit in properly,' she remembered, reflecting on a year and a half in Paris. 'I planned on going to Amsterdam but I went to a trial class at The Royal Ballet, just because I was going via London. I didn't think think at any point that I would be offered a contract. I thought there was no way that they would take me, because of my size [Zenaida is 5ft 8 inches tall]. I was wrong, which is great'. She joined as a First Artist in 1994, and quickly moved up the ranks to become a Principal seven years later.
In 21 years with the Company, Zenaida has fine-tuned an enormous repertory, performing classics such as Manon and the iconic The Rite of Spring, 21st century works including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter's Tale, and contemporary works by emerging choreographers.
It is this last genre in which the dancer's versatility and stamina have truly shone and it soon became clear that she was a natural for contemporary dance. 'I think I understood it because I saw it so many times and I grew up with it,' she said. But she also succeeded at portraying the classical roles of the British tradition that she didn't believe were for her at first: 'I didn't come from the Royal Ballet School and didn't have Frederick Ashton's fast footwork, that evolved over time. I thought I'd never do an Ashton but then Sylvia came along. I thought they'd cast it wrong, with Darcey [Bussell], Marianela [Nuñez] and me. We all looked at each other and said "Are you sure? This is miscast - we can't do this at speed!". I've never done anything like it stamina-wise, it's like a triathlon!'
Another challenging role Zenaida picked out is Odile/Odette in Swan Lake: 'Technically it's very demanding because at the beginning you have to be soft. I am ultimately, an illusionist - what I want is for the audience to see this bird swimming on a lake and if I don't give that illusion then what's the point? You want to do a good job and do the role justice.'
When asked about favourite roles, Zenaida was unable to pick one single part, but Manon is definitely up there: 'I imagine it's what an actor feels when they get to perform Shakespeare,' she said.
Challenges for Zenaida continue off-stage as she's mother to two children: 'I try my best to spend as much time as I can with them. There've been times when I had to do a show with very little sleep and sick kids, but you learn to manage'.
Zenaida Yanowsky's upcoming performances include roles in The Four Temperaments and In The Night. Visit her people page on the ROH website to be kept up to date with her forthcoming roles.]]>

I played at the prestigious Marshall Chess Club in NYC. This was my first and only win out of 4 games.
Good game - I just got my first tournament win (out of 5 games) a few weeks ago - I like how your doubled pawns turned into powerful protected passed pawns (you might have been able to utilize those better, but you got to a winning endgame position and would have won the game witn correct endgame. I think you might want to look back at how you kinda threw away those protected passed pawns (deep in enemy territory I might say) becasue you should have been able to win a Rook or Queen. Also you won as Black -> NICE! (same as me - I won using the sicilian)
That is a great game. I've been looking forward to getting to the Burlington Chess Club tournament one of these weeks I just can't make it work with my schedule.
Are you going to keep up at the tournaments? How did you like the atmosphere? What were the time controls?
superb, lovely move.
I'm definitely going to going to keep playing tournaments. I stopped playing blitz games over the board, though. It diminishes my overall game.
The atmosphere was intimidating and encouraging at the same time. Looking at all of the great players, past and present, on the wall was...beyond description. I loss my first round miserably due to nerves. But by the time the second round began, I said to myself, "Just play chess, stupid!"
I'm thinking about becoming a member of Marshall Chess Club. That will increase my chances of running into some of their team members (H. Nakamura, M. Ashley, J. Waitzkin, etc.). I thought it would be expensive, but the cost is comparable to any other decent club. The PATH train stops right around the corner from the club. My second choice in a club would be Bergen (used to be Dumont).
You are so right; I could have used those pawns better. I'll get better with more experience. It was my first tournament, and I knew that after 11. b4? I was winning. I just wanted to hurry up and win. Looking back, I think I pushed the wrong pawn on my 26th move. 26...c3 would have been more aggressive.
well done , your were right about move 26
It's so sad we won't be seeing anymore wins from such a great player.

IndusInd Bank's personal loan online services have provided me the freedom of getting credit anytime anywhere. They even sent a bank representative to my house to collect the documents. The only issue I had was the lag between application and processing of my documents. Other than that the services are just fine.
Reviewer: Zakir Qureshi, Mumbai, July 9, 2016
IndusInd Bank's transparency is like none other. Their guiding tools for loan estimates like the personal loan EMI calculator gave me a clear understanding of the loan amount, rates and number of instalments. I was also able to negotiate a good rate of interest based on my credit history.
Reviewer: Naresh Valluvar, Bangalore, July 7, 2016
I was looking for a loan with reasonable interest rates and good repayment tenure. I decided to apply for a personal loan with IndusInd Bank based on their many customer-friendly services. Their many perks on personal loan included doorstep services, on-call verification, easy prepayment options and 5 days' grace on due dates.
Reviewer: Kamini Kishore, Dehradun, July 6, 2016
IndusInd Bank's easy going personal loan eligibility criteria gives fantastic credit opportunities for professionals like me. As an architect I needed the loan to start my own firm, which has since been going well. Their prepayment option for professionals is available just after 6 EMIs with charges applicable only on the outstanding principal amount.
Reviewer: Sampad Bains, Jaipur, July 4, 2016
What I like about IndusInd Bank's personal loan service is that their documentation process is simple and to the point. Also, there are fewer follow-ups for getting the approval and loan amount. Though I feel the rate of interest could have been slightly lower.
Reviewer: Sunil Batra, Chandigarh, July 1, 2016
I love the online loan process at IndusInd Bank. No visits to the bank are required and the costing is superb. I have availed 2 personal loans till now. On both my loans the personal loan interest rates were fixed at a reducing rate on payment of each EMI. This makes every payment an incentive on its own.
Reviewer: Jatin Nadar, Chennai, May 23, 2016
IndusInd Bank offers me convenient personal loans at attractive tenures for all my manufacturing business requirements. There are no hidden costs as their website lists all the different charges. Also, the interest rates get cheaper after every successful loan service. My worries about debt costs have ended for good.
Reviewer: Chinmesh Shetty, Bengaluru, May 21, 2016
IndusInd Bank's personal loan eligibility criteria offered to professionals is great. My post qualification experience being only 4 years I definitely walked away with a good deal. I had thought that owning a house of my own would be required, but not so. Proof of staying at my current rented accommodation was enough.
Reviewer: Jayant Nair, Delhi, May 20, 2016
I needed a personal loan for setting up basic infrastructure in my office. As I am already an IndusInd Bank customer, they offered me the best loan options at an excellent personal loan rate of interest and tenure. My loan was processed with minimum documentation and a quick disbursement.
Reviewer: Narender Kumar, Mumbai, May 19, 2016
I really value IndusInd Bank's quick loan processing. All I had to do is apply for a personal loan online and keep my documents ready for a home pick-up by the bank's representative. The bank gave me speedy approval and disbursement. Their loan service is prompt, and with no conditions for collaterals or guarantees.
Reviewer: Jaya Borgekar, Nagpur, May 17, 2016
IndusInd Bank's personal loans not only provide me with the application and repayment flexibilities, their loan closure documentation is also instantaneous. All my 'no dues certificates' were duly provided to me at the time of loan closure without any unnecessary follow-ups. Also, copies of my credit track record were made available to me on demand.
Reviewer: Latin Ashar, Pune, May 16, 2016
I thank IndusInd Bank for providing me with outstanding personal loans having cost effective personal loans interest rates. What is important is that as an IndusInd Bank customer I also receive priority loan application processing, credit management suggestions, and options prior to finalizing of the loan agreement.
Mukesh Mody, Mumbai, May 13, 2016
My IndusInd Bank savings account proved to be a real asset when I applied for a personal loan. The bank, while considering my personal loan eligibility amount, took note of all my financial requirements. I was provided with the best possible loan amount and tenure as per my needs. Thanks, IndusInd Bank!
Niketan Vyas, Bangalore, May 10, 2016
I am pleased with the excellent personal loan servicing options of IndusInd Bank. Apart from a reasonable personal loan rate of interest and a lucid loan tenure, the bank also provided me with a grace period of 5 days from the EMI due date. During which time no delay charges were imposed. Serving a personal loan has never been so relaxing!

Calculate your Personal Loan EMI, Instantly!
Our personal loan products aim at extending monetary support towards your personal expenses. At IndusInd Bank, our first step is to provide you with all the necessary information and assistance to help you make an informed decision. We recognize that settling on your Personal Loan EMI is a significant task.
What is Personal Loan EMI?
Personal Loan EMI is the 'Equated Monthly Instalment' that you pay until the final repayment of your personal loan. EMI is a simple monthly break-up of the total principal plus interest amount for the purpose of easy repayment. Calculating the EMI amount beforehand becomes vital in deciding the amount you would like to loan and in planning its repayment without affecting your monthly budget. Our Personal loan EMI Calculator helps you to determine your exact EMI in correspondence with your desired loan amount, loan tenure and interest rate.
Now you can individually track your personal loan status online
It is always our pleasure to assist you and answer your queries. However, if you are unable to visit our branch physically, you can your check personal loan application status via our website by entering in your application number and mobile number as per our records.
Many people opt for a personal loan when they are in need of finances. Since they are 'unsecured loans', banks do not enquire after the reason of requirement, nor do they ask for any collateral. Due to this, the interest rates for personal loans tend to be slightly higher, and vary from bank to bank. There are a few key factors that can impact lenders' decision regarding the rate to be levied. These have been enumerated below.
Personal Loan Terminologies You Should Know
'Tenure' is the total period for which the personal loan amount is dispensed. This period begins from the date of disbursement. It reaches completion either on the date of closure of the loan, or on the date on which the last EMI payment is to be made, whichever comes first. Obtaining a personal loan from IndusInd Bank provides you with a tenure option of 1- 5 years.
Loan Maturity
The maturity of your personal loan occurs on a particular date given by the lending bank. This date signifies that the principal amount of your loan is due and needs to be repaid to the lender in full. At this point, the remaining interest is also to be paid off, thereby disabling further EMI payments.
Customers, when possible, can elect to repay the full loan prior to the maturity date. This is known as Pre-Payment. Pre-payment allows you to save on the interest of the remaining EMIs. However, most banks require a certain number of instalments to be made before pre-payment is applicable. They may also charge a penalty for pre-payment as they incur a loss on the interest.
Part-Payment is similar to pre-payment as it allows you to repay the loan ahead of maturity. The difference is that part-payment is a partial amount of the principal. It can be cleared when you have an available lump-sum that can be used towards paying off the personal loan. Part-payment further helps in reducing the remaining principal amount, thereby the EMI amount and its respective interest.
If making monthly EMI payments towards your personal loan is taking a toll on your monthly expenditures and savings, it is time for you to review your expenditure pattern and make changes accordingly. Here are some easy tips for effective debt payment without giving up on your necessary expenses and saving component.
Make a note of the amount you spend, or would generally spend in a month towards domestic expenses. It would usually include the following:
Once you have an estimated monthly expenditure, you can easily compare it with your income. This will give you a clearer picture of the income and the expenditure you incurred. Also, you would know if you are dipping into your savings to satisfy the expenditures of the household.

Metroid Prime Trilogy No Longer Being Shipped
Nintendo confirms that the Wii compilation is officially out of production.
If you haven't purchased Metroid Prime Trilogy but still plan to eventually, your window of opportunity is closing fast. Coffee with Games reports (via Kotaku) that Nintendo has confirmed the game is "no longer being shipped," meaning if your local game retailers are all out of their new copies, you're likely stuck looking in the used section.
"Unfortunately, Metroid Prime Trilogy is no longer being shipped. Having said that, you may be able to find what you seek through the secondhand video game market," read a response from Nintendo about the status of Metroid Prime Trilogy. A later response added a bit more information, if not any more clarification: "When first introduced, it was announced that there would be limited availability. However, a reason for this was not announced."
The end result is a compilation that was only at retail for about four months -- a fairly unusual situation. This also marks the first New Play Control! title (adding Wii motion controls to the first two Metroid Prime games) to be discontinued, but Nintendo did make clear the other New Play Control! games (Pikmin, Mario Power Tennis, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat) "are still being shipped."

1. I also said: "Or Maybe at the same level", and prefer the Metroid Gameplay
2.Trilogy have a great replay value, over 100 hours of gameplay is great, but The Orange Box technically has infinite Replay Value, thanks to a Online Multiplayer
3.Insulting me just because I have a different perspective about a game is just pathetic.
Idiot.Posted: Jan 23, 2010 12:00AM PST by ThePM
"second only to the orange box". Imao, you imbecile. There is well over a hundred hours of gameplay here. And I'm not sure what Nintendo are doing, maybe they just wanted to bring the series to the end it deserves? This is the definitive version. Mark my words, people are gonna be looking for this(especially new) yrs down the line.
@Zanoh & SoullevelPosted: Jan 11, 2010 12:00AM PST by raslac
Yea the lacking effects don't affect game play or enjoyment in anyway and the change in controls and switch to widescreen are a definite improvement anyone who doesnt own this and enjoyed any of the prime games really should get this if they have a wii
Metroid Prime Trilogy...Posted: Jan 11, 2010 12:00AM PST by SoulLevel
Is easily one of the best deals ever, being the original Metroid Prime the best and more than 100 hours of gameplay overral, this is just a second behind the orange box, or maybe at the same level.
The point is that Trilogy is a must buy, its kinda sad to hear its out of production.
About the lack of some effects in Metroid Prime 1, well its true, not completely downgrade graphics, just lacks of some effects, specially on water and some particles, there are even some videos on Youtube; but the supreme controls, Widescreen support and the faster loading times for the doors, makes this one the supreme version of the game.
@rasiacPosted: Jan 11, 2010 12:00AM PST by Zanoh
Really? Interesting, you learn something new every day. But even still it wasn't the graphics that were downgraded, it's the particle effects that were. And to be honest, unless you are a purist tech wiz, you wouldn't even catch something like that.
I never played the Prime trilogy until now with the collection so coming from my viewpoint, it's a great collection to own.
New Wii MotionPlus ControlsPosted: Jan 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by kscripter
I believe Nintendo will re-release this game trilogy with Wii MotionPlus Controls (that is why they are no longer shipping this game). Same could be said for Mario Galaxy, Smash Bros., Zelda, etc.

BULLSHIT!Posted: Jan 10, 2010 12:00AM PST by ElectricGigolo
This is only being done to boost sales of the game, because the system is in decline. Real gamers have finally woken up and realised that the Wii is a last gen system with a gimmicky controller.

And I don't even own a wii...yet. I just don't wanna regret buying an underrated gem because I was lazy..

Trilogy is the Supreme Package.Posted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by jeffokiecorry
I had the Cube copies and Corruption on Wii. I bought a copy around Christmas. Very glad. The improvements are well worth it. To play in widescreen and have motion controls is excellent. I am one of those who after playing Corruption had a really hard time getting back into the normal control scheme. I feel like this was a very good buy despite already owning the other copies. Now those copies are with my brother and I have mine. It works well. Man...and playing Prime 1 again with widescreen and motion controls makes it a new game again, especially being able to bounce by flicking the remote, instead of having bomb timing make me insane.
If you have the extra cash and you are a collector. It is worth it.
Not surprising....Posted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by MicroGates
Unlike the other games mentioned (Mario Tennis, Pikmin, etc) The first two Metroid games actually sold on the GameCube, so a lot of people already owned the two games (Like me) Why spend $50 for a trilogy when you already own two games in the trilogy? (Sorry, the added Wii remote technology isn't worth another of my hard earned $50!)
Glad I picked this one up for 29.99$ back in October '09.Posted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by WickedCobra03
I had yet never owned the 3rd Prime for the Wii and that was selling for 49.99 anyways so it was a no-brainer and picked it up. Kind of cool for them actually keeping their promise with the whole "limited" release thing but it is also disappointing this was not a bigger release for them. There is a lot of gameplay packed on one disc!
It's got to be the casePosted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by Epic Greenman
I know it sounds stupid, but I think they would still be making this if it was in a regular case. Nintendo never does that kind of thing.
Better get it quick!Posted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by kerplunked
This is too bad for people who haven't yet experienced these INCREDIBLE games.
If you haven't played them yet, hurry up and do so while you can. Even if you just rent them. The first Metroid Prime is amazing. The second one was good... but easily the weakest link in the series. The third one ranks as #2 for me, and it shouldn't be missed.
I played the first 2 originally on Gamecube, but now that they have controls like the 3rd game, that's all the more reason to play.
Do yourselves a favor and experience this trilogy!

Nintendo becoming Disney?Posted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by projectrunaway
I notice Disney has been doing this were they release a cartoon that has been released on DVD/Bluray for a limited time before locking it up. Seems to me that Nintendo will start doing this with future games but I hope not. I have Metroid Prime 1 & 2 on Gamecube but have yet to get Metroid Prime 3 could probably end up picking up the collection before they stop selling them.
Nintendo = Disney alreadyPosted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by genresrforposers
So luminaire28 may be on to something.
wtfPosted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by dragon_slayer17
The issue with Nintendo doing this is that they will end up realizing that they won't be getting the sales that they thought that would. What Nintendo should have done is to make an extremely small supply so that it would be very hard to find. if they did that then people would continue to buy. Also, I kind of think that if Nintendo were smart then they would have started their "player's choice" branding on the Wii. This game would be sure to be part of that group. If they did this and advertised it as the good games they see on the Wii, then maybe even casual gamers might find some of the games to their liking.
One Prime GamePosted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by Mr.LametoWatch
I got 3 for $20 used and wish I got Trilogy for $20 new, now. Oh, well. At least I can play 1-2 on two different consoles.
NextPosted: Jan 09, 2010 12:00AM PST by luminaire28
Nintendo will become like Disney and "lock games in the vault" as a way to control demand.

What Do You Really Deserve?
I deserve.
Have you ever found yourself uttering those words? We used to say them a lot. We'd use them to buy takeout when we were tired at the end of the day. We'd use them to buy a "pick-me-up" treat for ourselves. We'd use them to get newer, better, shinier things. In short, we used them to justify living a spending lifestyle that we had no business living, primarily through the use of credit cards.
It wasn't until we had a huge paradigm shift in our lives that we came to understand the danger of that phrase. When we left our upscale suburb for a home in the country, we took our tens of thousands of credit card debt along with us. Honestly, we would've preferred to leave it at the old place, but unfortunately, that wasn't an option (insert sarcasm here).
The lifestyle we had "deserved" to live for so many years was quickly becoming an ever-tightening noose around our necks, and we were finding it harder to deal with. After a month or two living a life of "getting away from it all", we started to learn that what we thought we deserved was the total opposite of what we truly deserved.
Life in the country isn't for everyone, but one of the first things that people say when they visit us out here is "It's so peaceful!". And, it is. The quiet is mesmerizing. No road traffic, no loud music, and no hustle and bustle of busy people going places and doing things. Instead, when you sit on our front porch (the "settin' porch" as they called it in the olden days, when our 1888 built house was new and shiny), you'll not hear much besides birds chirping, wind blowing, and a whole lot of quiet.
Financial peace is much the same way. When you've arrived at a place where you have or are at least working toward financial security, you have a sense of peace. No more worrying about if you'll be able to pay the bills, how you're going to earn extra cash for groceries, or, if you've got that emergency fund built up, what you'll do if you're laid off. Instead, you'll have the peace of knowing that, through hard work and good money management, you've got it covered.
Yes, financial security allows you freedom, and you deserve that freedom. What freedom am I talking about? The freedom to make decisions for your life based not on whether or not you have the money, but on what's best for you and/or your family. Want to take a lower-paying, less stressful job, or start your own business? Have an opportunity to buy something fun? Financial security allows that option to be on the table, whereas a boat load of debt takes those options off of the table because, after all, you've got bills to pay.
Financial stability offers you a level of security in life. When you have little or no debt, and an ample emergency fund, you've got the means to weather stuff like job layoffs, unexpected expenses and the ability to help someone in need. You don't have to worry as much about the market crashing, job layoffs or the need to move somewhere. With financial stability, you've got the security of knowing that you have a back up plan for expenses that need to be paid and things that you need or want done.
When you're thinking about what you deserve, I challenge you to think bigger. Not in terms of material items, but in terms of what will bring you a joyful, fulfilling peaceful life from a financial standpoint. Money surely doesn't solve all of your problems, but a lack of it will cause a lot of trouble.
What is it that you like most about the idea of financial stability?
I've Been Cable Free for 4 Years and Here's How
26 Comments
The freedom of choice is the big one for me…..The freedom to NOT have to make a huge debt payment each month and to be able to CHOOSE what it is we do with our money. I feel giddy right now just thinking about it. 🙂
I feel giddy for you, Travis. 🙂 Can't wait for us to get there!
I like the freedom that comes with financial stability. It's like with pets. I want to be able to make the best choice for a sick pet and not have to factor money into the equation. That's just one area where I think most people always have to factor in money when they really should (and likely want to) not have to factor it in.
Exactly, DC!! And the same goes with kids. It's no fun to have to make choices about what's best for your beloved pets or kids because you have to factor money into the equation. That's just one awesome reason to go for a goal of financial freedom.
The thing I like most about financial stability is the energy I can devote to focusing on other tasks/goals. When you are struggling or in debt, it requires a great deal of energy to crawl out of that hole. Once you have improved your position and have some financial flexibility, that effort can be transferred to other things. Granted, you never quit focusing on the financial picture, just not with as much intensity.
Excellent point, Brian. So much time and energy can be wasted on working a debt problem – time and energy that is better spent on other, more enjoyable things. Great comment. 🙂
Financial stability for me is to no longer worry about my twilight years, of the thought of depending financially on my adult children to support me in the future, when they are trying to become financially stable themselves. I'm not there, and it worries me. But, doing something is better than doing nothing, so I do what I can.
Love that goal, Dianne. And love what you said about doing something is better than doing nothing. If you keep this great attitude, Dianne, you will be just fine. 🙂
I love that you started this by asking what we deserve because so many people will initially think in terms of "stuff" but financially freedom and stability are so much better than any of the stuff we would have in our home. When I began my official road to financial freedom, I let go of the thoughts of stuff and I am so much happier knowing that I am working toward a state of being. It keeps me focused.
I can identify with that, Shannon!! It's like this awakening when you realize that stuff isn't all it's cracked up to be, but financial stability is. 🙂
Peace is a very sweet thing. It is priceless for me.
It is, isn't it, Raquel! Glad you have found it too. 🙂
I completely agree with you on the peace aspect. I can't wait to be able to wake up (hopefully sometime in the next two years) and not have student loans. I don't mind having a mortgage so much but the weight of the student loans has felt crushing at times.
That will be SO nice for you, Liz. And once that student loan debt is gone, it will be easier to crush the mortgage debt if and when you choose too.
One of my biggest turn off phrases is, "Go ahead and buy it. You deserve it." I know people who say that are just trying to be supportive, but I don't think I ever "deserve" to purchase something. My wife once said that to me when I was contemplating purchasing a used motorcycle. I decided not to buy the motorcycle because I didn't feel like doing the work that would have been required to bring it up to my standards. But my wife didn't know I was thinking that way, and she used the phrase, above, thinking I was hesitating due to price. Her saying that was the clincher for me to walk away from the deal.
Interesting, Bryce!! I know for us those words can be a real trap, so we're extra aware of them now. I think of them more as a snare than a reward.
Peace and freedom are great to have, and I think all of these go quite well together. I know I wouldn't really be able to find peace if I was working for the sake of a check. I would love to have less stress knowing that we have the finances to face whatever may come. My parents were constantly worrying about money when I was younger and it was hard to deal with.
Yeah, E.M., I know it's been difficult at times for our kids too. This is one of the reasons we're working so hard to get out of debt: for the kids! I think it's awesome that you are changing the family history and doing things differently.
My mother in law LOVES that phrase and hairs stick up on the back of my neck every time I hear it. It literally is the best way for someone to rationalize any decision no matter how outrageous it may be. You don't deserve anything you only earn it and we are making sacrifices that none of our family or friends are making so we can live the lifestyle we want 10-15 years from now.
Yikes, Marvin!! I love what you said about how it's a great way for someone to rationalize a decision; that's what we used to do. I love what you said about making sacrifices that none of your fam or friends are making so that you can live the lifestyle you want later. We are doing the same, and it's hard sometimes, but I know that a decade from now we'll be SO glad we did, and so will you guys. 🙂
I hate that word! I actually circled it all the time on my students' papers and asked them to find a new one lol. It just sends the total wrong message! I feel like the only thing people deserve is a paycheck after working an agreed upon amount or perhaps an award after hard work, but people throw the word around like, "I had a bad day so I deserve this drink" or "My boyfriend broke up with me so I deserve a spa day." That's when the word gets dangerous.
Funny, Cat! But I totally agree with you: using those words to justify expenditures or actions can be a very, very dangerous thing.
Thinking beyond the immediate "i deserve" gratification and thinking about the bigger picture is a great strategy!
Yeah, it's what has been the catalyst for our financial change, Stefanie. We're thinking bigger picture now!
This was my line in my past life "I deserve it!"
Now I say I deserve peace and serenity more and I'm going after it, one morsel of debt at a time!
We're worth it! heee
Oh my goodness, DD, we were SO there too. Isn't it nice to know that you deserve even better things, and that you're doing what needs to be done to achieve them? 🙂
