When it comes to starting a t-shirt printing business, there are a few items one needs to consider. The first is choosing to rent a storefront or run the business entirely online. The second is deciding whether to print T-Shirts or hire another company. The third item is offering the option for customers to create their own designs or choose from a gallery of designs made by others.
Renting a storefront can be expensive, especially in larger cities, which is why many small business owners have opened online stores where they can take orders, process payment, and upload their designs for customers to browse. Some businesses may sell their T-Shirts to retail stores or small shoppes, but many are finding that the internet is fulfilling customer need

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has received a pat on the back from Congress president Sonia Gandhi for his action against hoarders, official sources said.
Chouhan is emboldened by the Congress chief’s praise for his measures against sugar hoarders and is now mulling the idea of starting a helpline for people to complain against hoarders and officials.

At a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) last week, Sonia Gandhi praised Chouhan for taking action against hoarders and hoped that Congress-ruled states would follow suit.

“Chouhan at a review meeting with officials of the food and civil supplies department late Saturday praised Sonia Gandhi’s gesture, saying it was a sign of healthy politics. He also emphasised on a helpline, so that anyone could register his complaint related to the sugar crisis or its black marketing,” an official said.

The chief minister, while speaking to reporters later, said that the toll free helpline number would help anyone who wants to register a complaint against traders or officials.

Container shipments are paralysed in the port of Buenos Aires due to a union conflict that is causing huge losses, the Argentine press reported.
The labour dispute pits the SUPA union, which represents the longshoremen, against the crane operators union, which has been paralysing the cargo terminals of the Argentine capital since last Friday, industry representatives said.

The labour ministry ordered mandatory mediation, but the longshoremen did not comply with that directive and decided to stage a full strike which caused operating difficulties for at least 17 vessels that were supposed to offload their cargo in Montevideo.

Industry representatives told the La Nacion newspaper that the conflict has resulted so far in at least $1.25 million in operating losses.

Some of the cargo ships opted to cut short their stopovers in Buenos Aires, while three others cancelled their stops in the Argentine capital, thus preventing the offloading of 2,700 containers carrying $82 million in assorted merchandise.

SUPA, which is demanding a pay hike and union benefits already possessed by the crane operators union, also announced that it will stage a national strike at cargo terminals Tuesday.

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee Monday said he will examine the issue of reported unwillingness of Swiss authorities to divulge the names and other details of Indians who hold secret, illegal accounts with banks there.
“I have just read this in the newspaper. I will talk with the Swiss banks later and then comment on the same,” Mukherjee told reporters at his office at the North Block, reacting to a report on the matter.

The report said Swiss banks were unwilling to part with the details of individual Indian account holders, hindering New Delhi’s bid to unearth black money purportedly stashed away there behind strict Swiss banking laws.

But with the US, the Swiss authorities already have a pact under which one of their top banks will hand over to the US Internal Revenue Service the details of some 4,500 secret accounts worth $18 billion.

Mukherjee had earlier informed parliament that the Swiss authorities had agreed to negotiate on the matter and said the government had not only taken up the matter with Switzerland but also other countries.

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) and the Janata Dal – United (JD-U) took exception to the government’s statement.

“When the US government can get the list of persons, why can’t the Indian government. It is the responsibility of the government. How can there be double standards?” CPI(M) politburo member Brinda Karat told reporters here.

“We do not have any authentic knowledge about what has been going on. In parliament, the finance minister had made a categorical statement that the government was talking to the Swiss authorities,” Karat added.

India’s fiscal deficit this year will not exceed 6.8 percent, Planning Commission Deputy Chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia said here Monday.”Deficit will not be more than 6.8 percent in the current fiscal,” Ahluwalia told reporters here.

His remarks come amid rising concerns that high government spending would lead to India’s fiscal deficit ballooning this year.

In the budgetary estimates for 2009-10, the fiscal deficit was projected at 6.8 percent.

Ahluwalia also said the first full meeting of the Planning Commission, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, will be held Sep 1.

“The first full meeting of the Planning Commission will be held Sep 1. The main topic of discussion will be the state the economy,” he said.
