No, photos of Prague are never boring! (not that I've been myself)
The weather looks good and you have had a good time by the looks of it. Did they have a nice Christmas market? If they did you must have come home with lots of little pressies.
That Christmas tree is enormous! I love the little houses at the base. It is actually a good idea to copy on a smaller scale for the home tree.
Have a good week,
PS Your link didn't work, but I found you anyway via a different route.

How lovely to take a vicarious trip to Praha... I haven't managed to make it over to CZ this year, so this is a wonderful treat. I love the houses around the base of the tree... if the circumference is anything to go by, it must be HUGE. I'm glad you showed a picture with you standing by the houses, or I'd've assumed the later photo of the whole tree was a trick of perspective! Am definitely envious of those blue skies...

Well at least he made it to the bidet - very considerate of him!
I love the Prague Christmas scene so I am very jealous indeed. And of the blue sky as well. Nothing but grey, grey, grey here.
Veselé Vánoce a šťastný nový rok

Well I don't know how I missed this yesterday.
I have always wanted to go to Prague but Hubby doesn't seem to be in the same frame of mind.
Lovely photo's and they did make me smile, although rather shocked at Fergus's behaviour.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip photos. Since I'll never get to visit this beautiful place, it's nice to be able to enjoy it via Blogland. Easy to see you were having a grand time, and what gorgeous holiday decorations you got to view. And I hope Fergus' head is all better by now. You need to warn him about the dangers of drinking in foreign cities!! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, TFS & Hugs too! (and we did enjoy Ikea. When we're in Florida, that store is much closer. We also like eating in their café, but didn't this visit. Got some more Alex cabs, but not assembled as yet. Maybe after the New Year. That's ok, I'm not in the organizing mood anyway. Look at the mess, dunno where to start! )

What a lovely Winter break. I loved seeing all your photos. It is the blue skies most mornings that we like best about Spain. It lifts the spirit just to see them, even when, like now, it is getting a bit nippy. I had to smile at Fergus. He obviously enjoyed his trip too! Kate x

The Honorable Mary L. Schapiro
Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street NE
Washington, DC 20549
RE: proposed SEC regulations related to Section 1502 (Conflict Minerals) of the Dodd Frank Act
Dear Chairman Schapiro,
Id like to take this opportunity to comment on proposed SEC regulations related to Section 1502 (Conflict Minerals) of the Dodd Frank Act. My perspective on the Congo conflict minerals provisions are as both a consumer and as a personal investor.
First, as an investor, Ive told my personal financial advisor that I want to informed judgments about socially responsible investments. Specifically, I want to make a choice of whether or not to invest in businesses whose mineral sourcing practices contribute to the on-going crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I trust the SEC will by implementing the appropriate rules take steps to both reduce investment risks for people like me, and also help to bring an end to the violence in the DRC by allowing me to make choices to avoid investing in companies that source minerals that finance armed groups in that region.
In my role as a citizen and consumer, Im glad Congress has given SEC a mandate to help me choose to purchase goods that I can count on to be truly DRC conflict-free. I realize that some items I might purchase would contain conflict minerals, and I want to avoid that I want to be sure whether the things I buy have contributed to financing the horrific violence in the eastern Congo. It is very important to me to have this choice, and the SEC can assure that I do.
I urge the SEC to require companies to fully comply with all reporting requirements immediately upon release of the final rules. There is no justification for prolonging the suffering of the people in the Congo.
The SEC rule should spell out the details of what companies must do to verify whether they source minerals that benefit armed groups in the Congo. There must be instructions about what companies must do to check their supply chains to find out if they are sourcing conflict minerals that contribute to violence.
In addition, I believe that the rules should require companies labeling products DRC conflict-free to meet a high standard of proof that such labeling is actually true, and both consumers and investors should be able to have easy access to documentation supporting such a claim. To be useful, information reported under the SEC rules must be made easily available both on the SECs website and on the companys website this is very important to my purchasing and investment decisions.
Finally, there should be no exceptions. The rules should cover gold, tin, tungsten and tantalum, and all companies involved with such minerals should be required to provide comprehensive reports.
The work that the SEC is doing is vitally important on this issue, and I appreciate it. Please make every effort to assure that there are strong rules that will properly inform my decision-making abilities as an investor and consumer.

How Can I Stop My Panic Attacks?
Mental Health services within the UK are actually geared towards the restoration mannequin, and there's additionally an growing drive from the government for these in receipt of long run incapacity advantages to return to work. Now, let's take a quick have a look at the malpractice expenses allayed against the well being story of Nelisiwe, the mom of Fikani, struck by cerebral palsy because when he was born, he was not respiration, and needed to be resuscitated by the medical doctors. This exhibit options the work of Asian American and Pacific Islanders who participated in a 7-class workshop series, telling tales about mental well being by way of images.
The Avera Behavioral Health Center permits us to offer unparalleled service in a ravishing, peaceable environment, provided by the most important staff of behavioral well being experts in the region – all in one state-of-the-artwork facility. As a Licensed Social Worker working in the psychological well being field, I feel that this can be a crucial motion that won't only help folks find methods to help those in need mentally, however to also reduce the stigma that's so heavily ingrained in our society regarding psychological health. Good mental health is greater than being free from psychological problems like nervousness and despair.
For personal third occasion insurance we expect these services to be treated below the bodily sickness advantages of a plan and thus not be subjected to the upper outpatient shopper co-payment present in Medicare or relegated to behavioral well being carve out" provisions. The World Health Organisation estimates that, in seven years, melancholy will be the second-most-widespread reason for incapacity.
Trust me, as one who has had MANY years working in the mental health subject, the workers will observe every little thing about you: your dialog, the way you relate data relying on your temper, your feelings-anxious, (rightfully so), angry at ex, (rightfully so), and so on. The scenario is becoming determined and drastic within the Eastern, and the lack of jobs or growth in all points of a growing society, a 0. Behavioral Health specialists have ready a group of informative articles overlaying a wide variety of topics.
We have 14 of those new-mannequin wellness facilities, and seven of them are co-located with school mental well being employees. Additionally, these plans must comply with mental well being and substance use parity necessities, as set forth in MHPAEA, meaning protection for mental well being and substance abuse companies usually cannot be more restrictive than coverage for medical and surgical providers.

Last night, instead of spending our Saturday night like most other college kids, a group of my sorority sisters and I went down to Grand Ave. in Chicago and cooked a meal for the children and families staying at the Ronald McDonald house. I didn't know much about the place before, other than the standard idea that it helped severely ill children, which had been imprinted in my mind after reading the donation box at McDonald's a billion times as a child. But I didn't realize exactly how it worked until yesterday.
We brought our own food to cook (pasta and meatballs)
but they ended up having a whole pantry full of food, so we improvised
when we saw we had time leftover and made cookies as well. This was my
comfort zone; I haven't really cooked in such a long time and
was grateful for the opportunity to help out. Then we served everything
buffet style on a counter with heating pads (this kitchen was
surprisingly high-tech) and watched as the families came through. I
loved seeing the smiles on the children's faces, knowing that they were
facing something I would most likely never have to deal with. We were
lucky enough to get a tour after the dinner and kitchen was all clean,
and just listening to this worker's admiration for the place was
inspirational. I left the place feeling so good about what we'd just
done, and I'm hoping we'll get at least another few chances to volunteer
Since when we left, it was late and we were already
downtown, Isabel and I decided to roam around the city that, by our luck, had just
been lit with christmas lights!
Chicago is honestly one of the prettiest places on earth this time of year..
then, after meeting up with some of our "fam," we went in search of a
place to eat and found a long-awaited spot at The Cheesecake Factory! I
had the best original cheesecake of my life and all the while, we sat
outside under heat lamps, looking at this gorgeous tree.
Only two more days in this gorgeous place and then I'm back home. How very bittersweet.

My Erte Arrives!
Posted in Art, Decor on July 14, 2008| Leave a Comment »
A few months back, I ordered an Erte print. I was sooo excited when it arrived, but the frame was wrong, so it had to be sent back and reframed. Now our living room is pretty much complete with my Erte girl. I just finished reading Barbara Walter's memoir, and she told how Erte designed show costumes for her father's nightclub. She now collects his sketches and has a whole wall of them. I would love to see a picture of that.
The ugliest frame known to man…

Japan says it will call an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council if North Korea follows through on plans to launch a test rocket that would fly over its territory. From United Nations headquarters in New York.
Japan's U.N. Ambassador Yukio Takasu told reporters that North Korea's announcement has caused tremendous anxiety among the people of Japan, as well as raising regional and international tensions.
He said Tokyo and others have been making intensive diplomatic efforts to persuade Pyongyang not to conduct the test launch of what it says is a satellite, but what many nations believe is cover for a long-range ballistic missile test.
"If this effort will not result in a positive way, Japan will request urgent meeting of the Security Council to discuss this issue and to discuss response," Takasu said. "It must be clear and firm. And this could take place even this coming weekend. So I shared this information with my colleagues in the council. The U.S. ambassador and the French ambassador supported Japan's proposal very strongly."
Japan, which is a member of the 15-member Security Council, said there is a very clear understanding among council members that the possible launch affects not only Japan's security, but also international peace and non-proliferation.
The United States, South Korea and Japan have said the launch would violate U.N. resolution 1718, which prohibits North Korea from conducting "any further nuclear test or launch of a ballistic missile".
Asked what the council's response would be to a launch, Ambassador Takasu said it should be firm and clear, and that he would not rule out the possibility of another U.N. resolution.

Young Adult Group
Christian community is the cornerstone of our young adult group. We believe that our faith journeys are enriched by walking with others. We gather regularly to share food, study, discuss, and ask one another a question deeply rooted in the Methodist Church: "How is it with your soul?" If you are looking for a community of young adults, join us!
We are a group of folks in our 20's and 30's who are in various places in our lives. We are married, single, dating, with and without children, just graduating and well into our careers. Dress is always casual and childcare is always provided in the nursery. This year we are gathering every other Wednesday evening from 6:30-8pm in the Parlor. Throughout the year we are often working through a 6-8 week Bible studies, topical studies, or book studies. We draw from ancient and modern sources for our studies and we've used everything from the writings of famous theologians to TED Talks in our discussion. During the summer months we gather in homes, share meals and fellowship all over Anne Arundel county. If you are interested in joining us, you can contact Rev. Carissa, like us on Facebook, or text YAG to 410.983.3507 to join the text/email list.
For an example of the kind of studies we enjoy, check out Animate: Bible which we completed a couple years ago:

Lupus or Rosacea? Test May Mislead
Posted: 04/25/2014
Facial redness?
Female patient?
Elevated antinuclear antibodies?
Diagnosis: Lupus. Or could it be rosacea?
Lupus erythematosus -- long known as an autoimmune disorder -- and rosacea share several signs and symptoms: facial redness, sensitivity to sunlight, and a tendency to affect women more than men. In fact, physicians have sometimes turned to blood tests to tell them apart. Now, researchers have discovered that those tests may not be as indicative as once thought.
The blood tests look for elevated levels of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), proteins produced by the immune system that target the nuclei of normal cells. Patients with lupus usually have high concentrations of ANAs in their blood, and this was thought by some to differentiate the disease from rosacea.
However, a new study of 101 rosacea patients and 26 people with healthy skin, conducted by researchers in the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of Lodz, Poland, found that 53.5 percent of the rosacea patients showed significantly increased levels of ANA in their blood, while only two of the control group with healthy skin had high levels of ANA. Patients with subtype 2 (papulopustular) rosacea were more likely to have significant ANA levels (32.7 percent of patients) than those with subtype 1 (erythematotalengiectatic) rosacea (16.8 percent of patients). After two years of follow-up, none of the patients with an elevated ANA developed an apparent autoimmune disorder.
The researchers concluded that ANA blood tests should not be relied upon alone for differential diagnosis of lupus versus rosacea. However, ANA-positive patients may need additional studies as indicated by other findings, and should be followed over time.

The information the Society provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace
consultation with a qualified physician. The Society does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Rosacea may vary substantially from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. For more information, visit About Us.

As Blogger-at-Large for Oceania Cruises, I'm always paying close attention to where the fleet is sailing, and I'm constantly amazed at the multitude of worldwide destinations to which these intimate mid-size ships can take you. In fact, sometimes I'm so intrigued by the exotic ports of call that I forget the treasures that are closer to home. Riviera's arrival in Miami today as she concludes her first cruise of the winter season was a reminder that cosmopolitan Miami is blessed with wonderful diversity in architecture, culture and cuisine, and the city is constantly evolving as well.
Few cities on earth are experiencing a renaissance as notable as that which is taking place in Miami. In just under a decade, the city has quickly become one of the world's fastest growing metropolises, and the skyline now stretches across the horizon. If you haven't sailed from Miami in the past few years, you might not recognize it at all. New hotels, fine restaurants, Cuban cafés, charming boutiques and stylish shops have opened their doors just steps from Riviera's renovated Miami pier. And from Riviera's decks, guests can see the stunning new Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), which just opened last week. The museum was designed by architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, winners of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, often referred to as "architecture's Nobel."
The beauty of a city like Miami is that it has found a way to celebrate the future while still preserving its past. Even as shining glass towers reach skyward in downtown, the extraordinary Art Deco District on South Beach lures visitors with its sleek architecture, period neon signs and cool preservationist vibe. Nearly 1,000 buildings are protected by law, and the entire district is on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of our guests admit they could spend the day doing nothing but walking along chic Ocean Drive.
Also on the National Register of Historic Places is the Freedom Tower on Biscayne Boulevard. Once the headquarters of The Miami News, the Freedom Tower was used by the US government to provide services for refugees fleeing Castro's regime in the 1960s. Reminiscent of the Giralda in Seville, Spain, the Mediterranean Revival–style building now stands as a monument to Cuban American heritage. You can get a taste of the Cuban culture that thrives in Miami today with a stroll along Calle Ocho in Little Havana, a landmark street lined with coffee shops, salons, galleries, parks, markets and boutiques. Be sure to stop in to Café Versailles for a cup of Cuban coffee and grab a Cuban sandwich or some roast pork with mojo for lunch. Known as "The World's Most Famous Cuban Restaurant," Versailles is the unofficial town square for the Cuban community.
It's becoming obvious that a single day spent exploring Miami is never enough. Fortunately, since several itineraries embark and disembark in Miami, there are many options for extending your visit with a pre- or post-cruise stay. Oceania Cruises offers a variety of one-, two- and three-night hotel packages at two of the city's most distinguished hotels. After a recent redesign and $31 million in extensive renovations, the Marriott Biscayne Bay boasts gorgeous waterfront views and a location just across from the hip Miami Art and Design Districts. At the JW Marriott Marquis, guests can choose from a number of delightful pursuits, ranging from dining at James Beard award winner Chef Daniel Boulud's DB Bistro Moderne to attending the world-renowned Jim McLean Golf School with instruction, golf simulators, putting greens and a Pro Shop.
You can rub shoulders with Miami society's glitterati at the Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa on Miami Beach, a resort with boundless facilities that inspire healthy living and promote wellness. Oceania Cruises offers a two-night package with full access to Canyon Ranch's state-of-the-art, 70,000-square-foot Wellness Spa, the largest in Florida. Lose yourself in the Aquavana® thermal suite, a collection of European-style healing aquatic environments including the Finnish sauna and rooftop HydroSpa. You also receive a $150 spa credit, so indulge in a Thai massage and restorative touch therapy or enjoy a facial enhancement that leaves your skin looking more vibrant and youthful.

Hi everyone, Yvonne here. I had this frame that I have been wanting to do something with other then just slap pictures in to it. I found it at Kirkland's.
I decided to make Bre something for her room. I wanted her to have a place to jot notes and keep her week straight, she is really getting busy with the last bit of her senior year. I love the fact that you can use glass as a dry erase area.
Sorry about the glare, no matter what angle I could not get rid of a bit of glare so bear with me.
Here are a couple of close ups. Everything I used was from the Memories Line...just love this line.
Love the colors. The Tiffany blue color is perfect for Bre.
Below, you can see where she has made a few notes. She loves the fact that she can keep each week's notes so she doesn't get confused with where she is supposed to be.
Hope you enjoyed today's piece of home decor with a twist.
Here is a list of the products I used.

Papers-Doily, Ledger Cards, Flowers, Words.
Die Cut Flowers, Enamel Dots, Chipboard embellishments, and Buttons.

- Parex Asset Management, one of leading financial companies in Latvia, has established 'Baltic Distressed Property fund'. The fund plans to raise 25 mln euros to buy real estate from owners in financial trouble.
- Edgars Šīns, the head of Latio real estate, predicts possible foreclosures for 40,000 households. That's 20% of all households with mortgages. Only 17% households in Latvia have mortgages, so, that would be 3.4% of all households - but that is still a big numbers. Šīns has called for a massive government intervention to prevent a possible collapse in real estate.
The government thinks Šīns is exaggerating the situation. In any case, a government bailout could be very unpopular with general Latvian public. (Since only the wealthiest 17% have mortages in Latvia, the remaining 83% might not like their money going into a bailout of people who are richer than them. Or even a bailout of people who used to be richer than them before the real estate started falling.) Others are questioning Šīns math as well and it's plausible he has inflated the number of possible bankrupcies by a factor of 2 or 3.

Signs of real estate crash in Latvia
Latvian real estate prices have been falling for one year by now. Apartments are now cheaper by 20-30%. And, recently, we've seen some new developments:

1 comment:
I think any fall in real estate prices can only hurt borrowers if they intend to sell the property. Otherwise, their ability to pay back the loan should only depend on the purchase cost of the property (and on their income, of course).
On the other hand, companies such as Latio are poised to lose from a fall in demand for real estate, compared to the huge profits they were making in the last few years. So it comes as no surprise that Mr Šīns wants the government to intervene.

Pfenex and Hospira, which is in the process of being acquired by Pfizer, are teaming up to develop the former's biosimilar of Roche and Novartis' eye blockbuster Lucentis.
Pfenex is currently conducting a Phase Ib/IIa trial where 24 patients have been randomized to receive monthly intraocular injections of its product, PF582, or Lucentis (ranibizumab) for three doses, with ongoing patient follow-up for 12 months. The big-selling vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor had global sales of around $4 billion in 2014 and is approved in a number of indications, notably diabetic macular oedema (DME) and wet age-related macular degeneration.
Cashwise, Pfenex will receive an upfront fee of $51 million once the collaboration receives antitrust approval, and, over the next five years and beyond, will be eligible for payments up to an additional $291 million, plus tiered double-digit royalties. The firms will share the Phase III equivalence trial costs, and Hospira will be responsible for manufacturing and commercialisation worldwide.
Just last week, the US Food and Drug Administration expanded approval on Lucentis to treat diabetic retinopathy in patients with DME. The drug is sold outside the USA by Novartis.

Man (23) rapes sugar mummy (43)
By Amanda Chikari
A 23-year-old Gweru man has been arrested for allegedly raping his 43-year-old lover three times in about six hours.
Thabani Gazi whose address was not given in court appeared before Gweru Magistrate Ms Judith Taruvinga facing rape charges.
Gazi allegedly raped his girlfriend once at his house and twice in her vehicle on the same night.
He was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to January 19.
Ms Taruvinga advised him to apply for bail at the High Court. Prosecutor, Ms Chipo Ncube, said on the first count, on December 23 at around 9PM Gazi drove the complainant in her vehicle to his residential place in Gweru.
The court heard that when they arrived home, Gazi dragged her out of her car, pushed her into his bedroom and locked the door.
"The accused threatened to kill the complainant with a machete and ordered her to remove her clothes before he raped her once.
"The complainant begged the accused to release her but he went on to assault her on the head and back with fists," said Ms Ncube.
On the second and third counts, it was alleged that on December 24 at around 3AM, the accused drove the woman from his house to her house in Riverside suburb where she was supposed to collect her clothes.
"On their way, the accused stopped the complainant's car he was driving at an open space in Riverside suburb before raping her once,"said Ms Ncube.
"Seeing that there was an oncoming car with flashy lights the accused drove off and parked on the other side where he ordered the complainant to take off her clothes and had sex with her without her consent for the third time." The Chronicle

On campus, we use Microsoft Outlook for faculty/staff e-mail. Students can use the Outlook Web Access, or can set up any e-mail client (including things like mail on mobile devices like iPhones).
Some people want to use Outlook Express. That's fine, except that you have to be careful of the settings.
Outlook Express defaults to using POP3 e-mail. That's not uncommon and fine to use in most cases. But Outlook Express is a bit behind the times: the default is to move all e-mail from the server to your hard drive.
If you're not careful, all the mail in your inbox will move to your hard drive -- and be removed from the server. In the days before portable computing, fast connections, and cheap memory, this made sense. It was much more convenient to store your e-mail on your hard drive.
Nowadays, people want to keep e-mail on the server so it's available from anywhere. If you use Outlook Express with its default settings, your mail will no longer be on the server, and it isn't easy to restore it.
If you do want to use Outlook Express, check in the settings so that it leaves a copy of the message on the server. I'm not sure if that's part of the usual setup, so you may have to go into the settings and change it before connecting to the Internet.
We've seen several cases of people inadvertently deleting everything from the server. If you want, you can use Outlook Express (though there are better mail clients out there), but don't make that mistake.

Designer of the Tiger Paw logo passes
|2013-05-30 11:34:37.0-
Clemson, SC—John Antonio, 83, the designer of Clemson's Tiger Paw logo, died Thursday, May 30 in Greenville after a long bout with cancer.
The native of Greenville, SC designed the logo in the spring of 1970 and it was introduced at six separate press conferences around the state of South Carolina, Charlotte and Atlanta, by Head Football Coach Hootie Ingram, Head Basketball Coach Tates Locke, All-ACC running back Ray Yauger and University Vice President Wright Bryan, on July 21, 1970.
Frank Howard had just retired after 30 years as head coach and replaced by Ingram, and Locke had just been hired as the new basketball coach, so Edwards felt it was time for a change from an image concept as well. He hired Henderson Advertising in Greenville to work on a new athletic logo.
Company President Jimmy Henderson had attended Clemson and took personal interest in the project. He gave the project to Antonio, who had worked with corporations on logos and public relations. He contacted every school in the nation and requested a copy of their Tiger logo. All were pictures or drawing in some form of a Tiger.
Antonio then wrote the Museum of National History in Chicago and asked for a plaster-of-paris cast of the imprint of a Bengal Tiger's paw. This was sent to Henderson and a picture was made, slightly tilted about 10 degrees to the right.
Antonio had a meeting with Clemson coaches and administrators in early summer of 1970 and showed the use of the Tiger paw on stationary, athletic fields and uniforms. Howard, then the director of athletics, was not impressed until Antonio pulled out an orange Clemson helmet from under the desk. He had affixed a white tiger paw to the helmet. It was unusual in those times to have any logo on a college helmet.
"That helmet made a big impact on Coach Howard," Sports Information Director Bob Bradley recalled years later. "He was so impressed he wanted to bring that helmet back to Clemson and show everyone."
Antonio's memorial service will be held at First Presbyterian in Greenville on Saturday, June 15 @ 1:30pm.
From Wikipedia
the Tiger Paw logo was introduced at a press conference on July 21, 1970. It was created by John Antonio and developed by Helen Weaver of Henderson Advertising in Greenville, South Carolina, from a mold of a Bengal Tiger in the St. Louis Zoo. The telltale hook at the bottom of the paw is a sign that this is the official licensed trademark for the university.

Government and bank officials consider capital requirements and fiscal histories of companies seeking to operate exchange
TWO hundred attendees from government bodies, development partners and private companies took part on Thursday in a consultation in Phnom Penh that discussed the two draft edicts that will regulate aspects of Cambodia's nascent stock exchange.
Aun Porn Moniroth, a secretary of state at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, said the consultation marks the beginning of the process towards finalising the regulations.
"These two drafts are part of a series of 30 edicts we have prepared to run the upcoming stock exchange," he said.
The two edicts, or prakas, discussed Thursday were drafted by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Cambodia (SECC) and cover the granting of licences to firms wanting to deal in the market, and those that want to run it.
The prakas on the running of the market will grant an eight-year licence to each of the various operators of the stock exchange. Some of its provisions outline the capital requirements for firms wanting to run the market's functions.
A company looking to operate the stock market would need capital of US$9.52 million. The firm wanting to operate the clearance and settlement facility would need half that amount, $4.76 million.
The third company, which would operate the securities depository, would also need $4.76 million of capital.
A company wanting to act in all three capacities would need $19 million minimum capital.
The prakas states that the eight-year initial operating licence can be renewed prior to expiry for a further eight years, or indefinitely.
Participants at the conference suggested lower minimum capital requirements and raised the question of dealing with an article in the prakas that excludes any operator whose directors, senior staff or substantial shareholders have been declared bankrupt by a court here or abroad in the five years prior to the firm's lodging its application.
Nhean Vannak, a governance official at the Supreme National Economic Council (SNEC), said it was unfair to punish a person declared bankrupt in any business sector.
"An individual who has been declared bankrupt within five years but whose business was not involved in the financial or securities sector should not be refused the right to operate the securities market," he suggested.
However Chan Narith, director of the SECC's securities market-supervision department, rejected that argument in the interests of market confidence.
"The SECC will not allow that person [to operate] because there will be suspicions about the applicant's financial soundness," he said. Chan Narith was supported by Tal Nay Im, director general of the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC).
"Even though that person was bankrupt in another sector, they would still have a bankruptcy record," she said.
Tal Nay Im said the SECC should thoroughly consider the qualities of any firm looking to act as the operator of the securities depository.
"That must be done by a well-known, well-off and well-qualified firm," she said.

Take care of those headaches & eyes. This is a gorgeous card - love the colours & the layout is amazing with those diagonals & borders. I love the daffodil effect too. I must get out of the habit of using green for my leaves - this really shows how effective orange can be, leaves plus the teaming with that amazing black swirly patterned paper.

The Dayton Daily News notes an overnight frost quake centered around Darke County, Ohio on February 10, 2011.
The quake, or cryoseism as it's known in scientific circles, occurs when moisture soaks into the soil and a quick freeze causes a sudden, even violent expansion and contraction. Darke County's 911 director Brandon Redmond said the quakes erupted for eight hours Thursday, starting at 1 a.m. The heaviest reports were between 5:30-7:30 a.m.
No reports came through to the USGS Do you feel it service that I can locate (searches for Indiana and Ohio came up blank.)
A similar ice quake happened on Lake Mendota near the University of Wisconsin in 2008, close enough for a geology department seismograph to pick up a reading.
The Jan 31, 1986 This Week in NOAA describes the analysis of frost quake events in Maine.
The most thorough analysis I've found is Frost quakes as a particular class of seismic events: Observations within the East-European platform A. A. Nikonov , IZVESTIYA PHYSICS OF THE SOLID EARTH Volume 46, Number 3, 257-273, DOI: 10.1134/S1069351310030079 . Alas, subscription only; the abstract:
The group of quakes, which are caused by fast freezing of water-saturated soils or rocks at abrupt drop of winter temperatures often occurring in the middle and high latitudes of Eurasia, is considered. The review of little-known literature is given; the statistical data on the distribution of earthquakes in seasons and the time of day in various regions of Eurasia are presented. Special attention is paid to the East European Platform; using the data for this platform, with thorough consideration of reference quakes along with the weather conditions, the signs of a specific class of nontectonic seismic events are determined. The question concerning the necessity of the frost quakes' discrimination in compilation of tectonic earthquake catalogues in certain regions is stated.
Translated from the original Russian, which is transliterated as Morozoboinye sotryaseniya kak osobyi klass seismicheskikh yavlenii (po materialam Vostochno-Evropeiskoi platformy). The dedication is
The tremors come, the tremors go, They love the wintry weather, With periods fast and periods slow – Perplexing altogether C.B. Hammond. The song of the seismologist. 1911.
The original Song of the Seismlologist is from the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America.
More frost quake accounts, from 1908 in Connecticut

I went to Fall Quilt Market this past week and had THE best time! The weather was perfect in Houston, but I didn't actually go out into it for 2 days, as my hotel was right next to the convention center…I walked over on a connecting bridge…I did branch out and walk back to the hotel from the street and I hadn't realized how humid it was…thanks for the A/C! …..enough of that…now, on to the trade show.
I didn't know I was going to go until the week prior to the show. It was all so fast. I was soooo glad I went. These shows are an eye full of so much eye-candy! I get so inspired whenever I go! and this year was no exception! Designers, manufacturer's, publishers, magazine companies, celebrities, and the list goes on! Here are a few celebrities I ran into:
Jan Patek and Edie Mcginnis signing books
As you can see I took the above photo on Sunday (Halloween). They both were so cute all dressed up! Their book "Across the Wide Missouri" is a fun folkart book!
Kay Whitt signing her new book, "Sew Serendipity"….I was lucky to get one. The publisher was only handing out so many. Her book has patterns for skirts, blouses and coats! Can't wait to make one up!
Marianne Fons and her daughter had a booth showing their new producus and signing magazines.
So much fun to run into Marianne! She is the nicest person. Her show is the only quilting show we get on PBS in Vegas!
Here I am in the AURIfil Thread booth with Pat Sloan and Alex Veronelli" AURIfil thread booth at the show. Pat Sloan asked me to be one of their design experts for 2011. One of 12 quilters. I'm honored to be the designer of the month for June! Can't wait to show you how wonderful their thread is!
I'll post more in another blog entry!

Other numbers and charges
Going over your monthly allowance of texts and minutes is the most common reason for an unexpectedly high bill. When this happens, you'll be charged at our standard rate.
If you're regularly going over your allowances, you could save money by changing to a different tariff. And if your needs change in the future, you can always switch back to your original tariff. Go to My O2 to change your tariff and manage your bills.
Other things that you might be charged for are:
- making calls, sending texts or using data outside of our Europe Zone
- using your phone to make a purchase, such as buying wifi on trains
- making calls to non-geographical or premium rate phone numbers
- calling a directory enquiry service.
- sending texts to premium rate services, such as voting in a TV competition
My O2
Keep track of your charges and manage your bills easily online at My O2 or download the app.
Every April, the price of your monthly Airtime Plan will be adjusted according to the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation. More details on RPI.
- Freephone and service numbers
0800 and 0808 numbers
It's free to call freephone numbers starting 0800 or 0808 from your mobile phone or landline. These changes came into effect on 1 July 2015, as part of the UK Calling changes.
UK landlines and mobile numbers
All standard UK landline numbers start with 01 or 02 and all UK mobile numbers start with 07. Calls and texts to these numbers are included in your minutes and texts as part of your tariff. You'll be charged at our standard UK rate if you're making calls or sending texts outside your allowance.
There are some exceptions where you'll be charged for calling or texting 01, 02 and 07 numbers. For example, if the number is in Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man, of if it's being used as a call forwarding service, you'll be charged extra, Check Service number and access charges to find out more about chargeable numbers.
03 Numbers
Ofcom has introduced 03 numbers as an alternative to chargeable 08 numbers like 0870.
Calls to 03 numbers will cost the same as other standard fixed line numbers starting 01 or 02, and are included as part of any inclusive or free minutes allowance on our tariffs.
What are premium texts and short codes?
Premium text services start with 5,6,7 or 8 and are usually a five or six digit number known as a short code.
Short codes are used for services including entering TV competitions or downloading games or ringtones. You'll pay for the service through your mobile bill or from your Pay As You Go credit.
Services that use premium texts and short codes include:
- Sending messages to radio stations
- Chat services
- Accessing low cost calls to international numbers
- Downloading games and ringtones to your mobile
- Entering TV competitions
- Voting in TV reality shows
- Charity donations
Premium text subscriptions
Some premium rate services run as a subscription. Premium services are not provided by O2, so if you want to query a service you've been charged for you'll need to contact the sender directly. Most will automatically send a welcome text when you sign up, explaining how to cancel.
Here are a few steps you can take to unsubscribe or query charges:
- The most common way to unsubscribe is to text STOP or STOP ALL to the number given in the premium message sent to you. This may be different to the number used to send you the message. It will be a five digit number. Within 24 hours, you'll get a free text confirming that the subscription has been stopped.
- If you're still being charged for unwanted premium messages or want to query charges, you'll need to contact the sender directly. You'll find their contact information on the premium message sent to you or you can enter the number on the Phone-paid Services Authority website.
- If you need more support or information, or want to make a complaint, the Phone-paid Services Authority website is the place to go.
Premium rate service regulation
The Phone-paid Services Authority is the regulator for UK premium rate phone services. You'll find free advice on their website, including a number checker that tells you who operates premium services and how much they cost. If you think you've been wrongly charged, you'll find information about making a complaint.
You can also visit the Phone-paid Services Authority YouTube channel for helpful videos.
Children and premium rates
The Phone-paid Services Authority runs PhoneBrain, a child-friendly version of their main site to help kids understand premium rate services. It's also helpful for teachers and parents.
- Charge to Mobile
What is Charge to Mobile
Buy digital content such as apps, games, music, films and eBooks from your mobile or PC. And just add the cost onto your next month's phone bill or use your Pay As You Go credit.
You only pay for what you buy from the seller, but you might have to use your data allowance to download the things you buy if you're not connected to wifi.
Charge to Mobile is only available to UK customers, but you can still use it while you're in another country. The only thing we might charge extra for is data used while browsing and downloading Check out our guide before you travel.
Buying with Charge to Mobile
1. Choose what you want to buy. You'll get a payment screen describing what you're buying.
2. Confirm what you want. If you're using wifi, or you're on a PC or tablet, you'll be asked to type in your mobile number. The seller will send a security pin to your mobile, which you'll need to type in.
3. Check the verification page. You'll get a text message receipt with the details of your purchase, as well as the service provider's contact details.
4. You can find details of any charges in the 'Things you bought' section of your bill, within 'Recent charges' on My O2, where you'll find the name of the service provider.
Issues with charges or content
If you're having an issue with the content you've downloaded or a charge that's showing on your bill, you'll have to contact the seller. You can find their contact information on the conformation text sent to your mobile number.
We only work with sellers we trust. We check every service we use to make sure it meets industry standards. But your purchases are subject to each individual retailer's terms and conditions. We'll only share your number with our partners so we can process your payment. And they'll only share it with approved sellers if they get your permission - to send you promotional offers, for example. Or, if they need to send things you've bought straight to your phone.
- Directory enquiries charges
118402 is the O2 Directory Enquiries service. It's £1.50 per min for O2 customers.
We can answer calls quickly to provide listings for local and national business and residential numbers in the UK. We can then either connect the call or send you a free text with the number you're looking for.
You will be charged on a per minute basis when calling 118402.
Other 118 Services
The total cost of your directory enquiries call will be our access charge plus your provider's service charge. You can find your access charge on this page in the Service number and access charges section below, or by looking at your O2 bill or checking your tariff.
These prices are effective from 3 August 2017.
Additional information
O2 does not endorse or promote other 118 services and we accept no liability for services provided by third parties.
If you make lots of directory enquiry calls you should regularly check the latest prices with the provider as they are subject to change. This is because premium rate numbers are often operated by third parties and we can't notify you when their prices change.
- Service number and access charges
The cost of calling a phone number depends on the digits it starts with. This is known as a prefix.
If you make lots of service calls you should regularly check the latest prices with the provider, as they're subject to change. This is because when you make service calls the number you call is often a premium rate number. These are often operated by third parties, so we can't notify you when their prices change.
If you use O2 premium rate and customer service numbers we'll let you know about any pricing changes in the usual way, in accordance with our terms and conditions.
You'll be charged for at least 1 minute when you call a premium rate number.
On 1 July 2015, the cost of calling 08,09 and 118 numbers was split into two parts. The total cost of your call will be the access charge plus the provider's service charge.:
- The access charge - this is what we charge you, per minute, for connecting the call
- The service charge - this is the charge for the rest of the call. The organisation you're calling decides the service charge and has to make you aware of the charge. For example, if the service charge was 20p per minute, the organisation you're calling might say "Calls cost 20p per minutes, plus your phone company's access charge".
Here you'll find the charges for calls to UK service numbers. These are not part of your inclusive minutes on Pay Monthly tariffs or your free minutes allowance on Pay As You Go tariffs.
The tables below show the cost per minute for calling service numbers:
Service numbers Pay Monthly Access Charge - per min Pay As You Go Access Charge - per min 08* 55p 55p 09 55p 55p 118 55p 55p
These charges apply across all landlines and mobile phones - not just your O2 phone. To find out more, visit ukcalling.info
The service charges in the table below are not split into two parts. Take a look at the total cost per minute to call these numbers. Calls to these numbers aren't included as part of your inclusive minutes on Pay Monthly tariffs or your free minutes allowance on Pay As You Go tariffs.
Numbers outside your allowance Pay Monthly - per min Pay As You Go - per min 05 55p 55p 070 55p 66p 076 55p 55p Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man - landline or mobile (click here for more information) 55p 55p 07 non-mobile and call forwarding services (click here for more information) 55p 55p
*0800 numbers are free. There are other free numbers as well. Find out more.
If you're on Pay Monthly, it's also free to call O2 Customer Service numbers.
090 / 091 numbers are premium rate numbers which are usually used for services such as horoscope readings, competitions and high-end technical support.
118 numbers are for directory enquiries. Take a look at the directory enquiries section.
You'll be charged for at least 1 minute when you call a premium rate number.
03 numbers
Ofcom has introduced 03 numbers as an alternative to chargeable 08 numbers for example 0870.
Calls to 03 numbers will cost the same as other standard fixed line numbers (starting 01 or 02), and are included as part of any inclusive or free minutes allowance on O2 tariffs.
Changes to additional charges
From 1 April 2018, we'll be making changes to some additional charges. These changes do not apply to business customers at this time.
Before 1 April 18 From 1 April 18 Calls from UK to Ireland landlines 65p per min £1 per minute*
* one minute minimum charges apply
Before 1 April 18 From 1 April 18 Calls from UK to Ireland mobiles 65p per min £1 per minute*

- Other non-standard charges
Calls and texts to UK numbers starting with 01, 02 and 03, and mobile numbers starting with 07, are included and will be taken from your tariff allowance. Calls and texts to 070 numbers, 076 numbers and Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man numbers aren't included and will cost extra.
If you go over your allowance, you'll be charged for any extra calls and texts. You'll also be charged for picture messages and calls to special numbers.

The ideal time to purchase a new or approved used vehicle depends on a number of different factors: the model, its age, and even the seasons.
One of the best times to go for the car you've been wanting for a while is when the refreshed version is launched. The previous model should then slightly lower in price as it's no longer the most recent.
The time of year that you choose to buy is also important. At the two annual number plate updates in March and September, the increase in new car customers leads to a rise in the availability of approved used cars. In addition, convertible cars tend to be more expensive in summer, and off-roaders can be pricier during winter months. During the run up to Christmas and the New Year, you may find end-of-year sales and bargains at your local dealer.
Whenever you decide to make a visit to the showroom, attempt to do so at a quieter time during the week. Naturally, weekends at the dealership will be busier - picking a quiet day will give you more space and freedom to browse. You'll also have more chances to talk with the team and make sure you've covered everything you need to know.
To choose a car today, please get in touch with your nearest Lookers dealership.

I love the folder! I also bought one for two friends and they also were so excited that I had found this design. We have been looking for several months and was concerned that it had been discontinued. We had seen card samples using this folder knew we had to have it. I was thrilled when I was notified that it was back in stock. Thank you.
I have been looking for the "sunburst" EF for almost a year! I love it and can't wait to use the pennant EF as well. Thanks for offering this much sought after item!
I love these embossing folders ! ! !
They R easy 2 use ! ! !
