OilCAN is CAN's offers bulk buying scheme for domestic heating fuels including of Kerosene (with or without additives), LPG, LPG bottles and Coal, the aims of the scheme are to:
- combine the purchasing power of residents, organisations and businesses in order to achieve the lowest possible prices for heating fuels.
- benefit residents, organisations and businesses, primarily in rural areas, who do not have access to mains gas.
- offer other products to members at discounted prices.
CAN has entered into an agreement with A F Affinity Ltd (Affinity) to deliver the scheme. Affinity is a subsidiary of Anglia Farmers which is an industrial and provident society and it is the largest agricultural co-operative buying group in the UK. Affinity's role is to negotiate with suppliers across the UK, to get lower prices and a better service.
How the Scheme Works
- When you sign up as a member you will be linked to a local co-ordinator.
- You will then have an opportunity to order fuel each month provided you place your order before a given deadline. Your co-ordinator will provide you with a list of the upcoming monthy deadline dates for the year. You will also receive a reminder of the next deadline each month, and the full list of dates is available on this website.
- If you want to place an order in any given month, you will need to contact your co-ordinator by the deadline to let them know the quantity of fuel you require, (either by telephone or email as agreed with your co-ordinator).
- Most members pay by direct debit but if you chose to pay by debit or credit card you will also need to phone Affinity on the order date on 01603 881888 to give them your card details. A 2% surcharge will be made for using your card, and you will be charged the current rate for that day. However, once Affinity have negotiated a price for OilCAN members, any difference in price will be refunded to your card.
- Your Co-ordinator will pass all orders to Affinity.
- Affinity will negotiate the lowest prices with suppliers and arrange delivery.
- Your order will be delivered within 10 working days of the order date.
- If you are paying by direct debit, Affinity will invoice you within a few days of the delivery being made, and the payment will be taken from your bank 21 days after the invoice date.
- Each time you order, you will receive information as to how the price paid by OilCAN members compares to the average price for oil on the order date.
How to become a Member
CAN charges a small membership fee which is used to cover CAN's costs in organising the scheme, however we keep costs to a minimum by recruiting volunteers to act as local co-ordinators.
Our current membership rates are:
- Resident Households £12 per annum
- Community Buildings and small to medium businesses £18 per annum
- Medium Usage Businesses £36 per annum
- High Usage Businesses £60 per annum
A set of terms and conditions of membership are available to download here

This hostel was dirty and disgusting. We were given beds with used bed sheets!!!!!!! The staff where unfriendly and unhelpful with all our enquires. They are only interested in your money. The area was central but not very safe. As a Brit I would like to say please avoid if you want to enjoy your stay in bath, it would give you the wrong impression of this wonderful city.
Unique Quality: Filth and dirt
Awsome place!
I stayed there two nights, the third week in August, and enjoyed it very much. Me and my travelbuddy had not pre-booked any beds, but still we got great service, good prices and two very nice and soft beds for those nights. I liked the fact that we didn't get any keys that we could loose, but only key codes for the frontdoor and the door to the actual room we were staying in.
We ended up in a 10bed girls only dorm; The Divas Room. The room was just as big as it had to be, with five bunk beds along the walls. The sheets were nice and clean, the room was as tidy as backpacker's can keep it and even though the house itself is rather old, I couldn't sense any mould in the walls or anything and I would know if it was any seeing as I'm very allergic to those things.
The breakfast in the mornings were simple and filling. Very nice, do-it-yourself thing.
The bathroom facilities were abit shabby and small, but it was always clean and dry, the same with the shower room, always clean.
All over I had a very nice stay and I would reccomend this place to anyone looking for a cheap and/or nice place to crash for a few days.
Directions: Head out the main entrance of Bath Spa station, follow the street directly infront of you until you pass a church and the police station and start looking for Backpacker's Hostel on the left. You'll see it.
Funky Hostels - Bath Backpacker's
Bath Backpacker's is a typical Backpackers Hostel with all facilities you need. I had a very pleasant stay with friendly roommates from all over the world. On the last night, we had a round of two american girls, an irish girl, a nigerian student and a south african construction worker and spent quite a lot time talking. It seems that the hostel is very popular with international guests. Staff was always helpful and very friendly. Unlike London's Hyde Park Inn, they do NOT try to cheat you when it comes to a booking via hostelworld and the correct payment of VAT :) The "funky" decoration in this 18th century house makes the atmosphere very special. Indeed, it was a nice place I would like to recommmend.
Unique Quality: The hostel has all facilities you will need during your stay. A kitchen where you can prepare your own food, clean showers and washing facilities, lockers, free linen and a party room in the basement. To use the locker, you have to bring your own lock with you - or buy one at the reception for 1,00 £. Most dorms are mixed, but also single sex rooms are available. If there is anything negative to say about the hostel, it was that the mattress iI slept on for four nights was suitable for a fakir, but a little uncomfortable for me. I just don't like pricking springs.
The hostel is just a few meters away from the train station, the Roman Baths and the Abbey - looks like a perfect location!
Directions: Manvers Street, leadin from Bath Spa Train Station to the Abbey, becomes Pierrepont Street at some time. The hostel is on the left hand side, look out for the sign with a guy using a bathtub as a backpack.
Looking for a date? Then try this hostel ;-)
Because my travelling agency made a mistake I had to book another hotel, and since I didn't have a lot of money or energy left, I decided to check into the Backpacker's Hostel, which is really close to the station and cheap. (£12 pppn, or £60 for a week; or at least, that's what it cost three years ago)
There are 6 - 8 beds in every dorm, the staff have a seperate dorm. There's a living room with television and a kitchen. People there are really friendly, some of them only stay for a few days but when I was there, there were quite a few people who had been there for weeks or months. Staff was very friendly too. It's also very clean, since everything is cleaned twice a day.
There are only young people staying there, and it's really easy to make friends, go out with a group (people will just ask you to come along, so if you're shy and looking for friends, do go here) or get a date. This is why you don't want to get out of bed and wander around at night, because people will be making out everywhere.
Unique Quality: Great location, close to the city centre and the station. And I mean close. You can get coffee at Starbucks and walk to the hotel, and your coffee will still be hot. Access to internet, living room with tv, and kitchen.
Directions: It's only a short walk from the station.
Bed Bugs Biting
Bath is basically a tourist city, so accommodation would not be hard to find but it can be very expensive. There is however a backpackers BB and for those who wish to stay in a mansion there is the Paradise House Hotel set in its own grounds and has great views of the Royal Crescent. The Royal Crescent Hotel will cost you about £220 per night for a double room and £1500 for one of its suites. The Backpackers Hostel is about £14 per night and is located in the centre of Bath.
Unique Quality: www.backpackers.co.uk/bath
Bath Backpacker's Hostel

Unique Quality: Theme rooms, organized pub crawls, fun paintings all over the place, social lounge & bar in the basement. This was such a fun place to stay I actually went back a few weeks later!!

Top 10 Innovative Companies In Healthcare 2012
Fast Company routinely publishes their list of 'Most Innovative Companies'. You can find their earlier list here. Here's their list of most innovative companies in healthcare for 2012.
1) National Marrow Donor Program
Their use of technology shortens the 'Bone marrow transplant' time by using an online hub that helps keep donors and recipients on track during the steps beforetransplantation. They have also added new matching algorithms to improve search accuracy. NMDP makes extensive use of social media to search for new donors.
This is one of my favorites. Assistivewear was founded in 2000 and they work mainly with apple products. Their inclusion is for developing a Virtual on-screen keyboard for Mac OS X users who cannot use a physical one.
A large product manufacturing company, they have about 55,000 products in the market, many of them in the healthcare and electronics. Their inclusion is because of their cardiology grade Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope.

Unfortunately much of what you describe also applies to what I see here over a five year period. Good start, good first and maybe good second season and then decline. A few do well, but a lot more decline. Medians as a group do miserably here, so there is no alternative to TBs. It's not only just cold climates. My climate wouldn't qualify there at all. Choosing award winners isn't a good method for predicting performance - hardly any have done well here. Different plants probably have inherent preferences concerning amount of rainfall, ability to withstand scorching heat as well as brutal cold. The best choice is always to observe what does well in the area. But that limits choices to older types and a very narrow selection. Long ago I resigned myself to the fact that much of what appeals to me may not be durable, and accepted that the only way to know is to try them and see. Historics are a better bet, but not by the margin you'd expect. Which may explain why the range of what is grown in the area is so slim.

In a betrayal to their creator's comedy roots, the Daleks have been cut from the upcoming DVD release of The Five Doctors as they're too hard to be seen doing comedy.
The planned clip was to show astrologer Russell Grant enjoying some banter Terry Nation's creations, however acording to Metro plans to include the footage on the DVD were dropped, because of a rule that Daleks must always look "menacing". This rule has been attributed to the Doctor Who production team, however while they might well hold with it – and good on them I say – it would seem more likely to have been put in place by the estate of Terry Nation, one time gag writer for Tony Hancock, among others.
In the interview, Grant describes a Dalek as an Aries – only to receive the retort: "That's Virgoing on the ridiculous."
Former Doctor Who stars Peter Davison and Patrick Troughton can be seen laughing in the footage from the TV:AM interview.
A spokesman said: "They are meant to be sinister baddies. They don't do comedy."
Of course, the thing is that's not the point. The Second Doctor didn't live with a lanky drip and his feisty newlywed wife, but a character played by Patrick Troughton did.
Didn't harm Doctor Who, did it…?

A huge Karaoke attached to this hotel, beautiful girls appeared at night starring at male tourists, me included, big breasts. Inside my room, a little signage in blue "Do not bring prostitute into the room, do not gamble"

GP Hotel (Hao3 Di4 Fang1 Shang1 Wu4 Jiu3 Dian4): Excellent but Bizarre
The name GP stands for "Good Place", reflected in the Chinese name of "Hao3 Di4 Fang1". It is indeed a good place to stay at!
Price range around 138-198 RMB, mine was 158 RMB.
It's walking distance to Guandi Temple, the Puppet Museum and Qingjing Mosque. Very convenient for sightseeing and getting around. There's a bus stop on Tumen Jie right in front of the hotel, IIRC there's a bus to Kaiyuan Temple but I don't remember which number it was.
A huge bed -- 2 double beds pushed together to make 1.
Clear glass walls for the shower room -- good thing I was staying alone!
Toilet was in a separate cubicle from the shower room, had normal walls, but frosted glass door with no lock.
No windows and everything is sparkling clean.
Extremely comfortable if you don't mind it being bizarre... or if you're a couple. ;)

Last March Tumblr began offering premium themes and since then we have seen select companies test the waters of this new and interesting market. For those of us that watched this develop, it was interesting to see the many mixed reactions from Tumblr's users.
The doors first opened on Tumblr.com with prices ranging from $9 to $49. I'm sure many observed as I did; users were feeling disappointed and shocked with this decision, especially with prices up to $49. For me, I was suprised to see a much more simple platform competing with WordPress prices. Since then, other stores have entered the market and brought down the prices to the high teens and it seems the dust has started to settle.
Now as we are 3 months into this new environment, I felt it necessary to present the top talent that has brewed up in this short time. Below I have assembled this small collection of what I would consider to be some of the top Tumblr themes from each store.
Backburner: $19
Snippet Theme: $19
Veen: $14
Theme for Themers: $12
Nuance: $14
Tumbl News: $14
Slider: $15
Ribbon: $15
Please let me know your thoughts and of course feel free to add to this list. I would love to know everybody's experiences with premium Tumblr themes.
Author Bio: I am a 26 year old internet entrepreneur and co-founder of MOJO Themes which offers Premium Tumblr Themes. In addition, I have been involved with custom design and development for the past 6 years out of Salt Lake City, Utah. Feel free to contact me on twitter and let me know your thoughts or just say hi! @bradynord

Venture Capital Trusts are a promising area of investment that, although high risk, can save an investor a great deal of tax. Clearly, there is no point making investment decisions purely because they are tax efficient. If you don't think the investment stands up in its own right then you shouldn't invest – any tax benefits should just be the icing on the cake.
So, for the uninitiated, what is a VCT? A VCT invests in very small companies, in fact, those with no more than 50 employees and £7m in assets (at the time the VCT invests). In addition, the company can only receive £2m in funding from VCTs every year.
These are small companies indeed. They might be in the early stages of development, perhaps with little or no sales, or a product they have only just developed.
On the other hand they could be more mature businesses, profitable and with good cashflow where the management require finance in order to buy out the company from an existing owner. Both of these tend to be high-risk investments, the former especially so.
An alternative approach, which has proved popular over the last few years, aims to minimise risk as far as possible (within the VCT framework) and return investors' money after five years. This breed of VCT often invests in companies with large asset backing, such as a nursery or leisure facility, and is primarily designed for the tax break. I can see these being popular with higher earning individuals over the next few years as they seek to reduce their tax liabilities.
In light of the super-tax rate of 50 per cent on income coming next year, the removal of personal allowances for those with incomes over £100,000 and the restriction in pension investments for high earners, VCTs look remarkably interesting from a tax point of view.
You can invest up to £200,000 per tax year in a VCT and receive a tax rebate of up to 30 per cent of the amount invested (i.e. up to £60,000). Remember, this is a rebate – you cannot claim back tax that you never paid in the first place. So if you are due to pay £20,000 tax in a given year, that's the most you can reclaim regardless of how much you invest in a VCT.
This in itself could bring problems unless investors know exactly what they're in for. VCTs are higher risk investments and are not suitable for everyone. They are also illiquid, meaning that buying and selling isn't always simple. VCTs have to be held for a minimum of five years, otherwise you need to give the Government back your tax rebate. However, they can provide tax-free growth and tax-free dividends. After five years you can sell your VCT shares (they are quoted on the London Stock Exchange) without incurring a tax penalty.
The last two years have been clearly hard for everyone, especially the banks. However, it has a potential upside for VCTs. Banks are far less willing to lend money to small businesses in the current climate, presenting a golden opportunity for VCTs. As the economy starts to recover and companies start to prosper, they are standing in the wings with capital ready to help them grow in future. Where banks fear to tread, VCTs are keen to invest.
VCT managers have spent the last 18 months waiting for the end of the credit crunch and for the economy to turn around, itching to invest in these great companies at the right price. After talking to many in the last few weeks, they are now finally starting to make some new investments. They may well be a bit too early, but they see the opportunity is nigh.
The next three to four months will see many VCTs launching seeking new funds for investment. Notable names to look out for include Downing, Foresight, Maven and Northern.

Linux is getting much better at managing devices, and the versatility of open source software leads to some interesting innovations.
Experts and beginners will tell you that devices are the perennial challenge of Linux systems. Linux is fast, stable, and safe – if you can get it to run on your hardware. We all have our war stories, but most users will affirm that the penguin's affinity for PC hardware is improving. Many of the device problems that plagued Linux systems in the early days were solved years ago. A Linux user from 1999 would be totally amazed to install a Linux system today and watch the system auto-locate the hardware. But maybe not all the hardware. Linux still has trouble with certain devices, and the lag time between the appearance of a new driver and its integration can mean a built-in driver isn't available for months.
This month's Device Tricks cover story starts with a study of some recent developments in driver management tools for Linux. Jon Masters describes some of the obstacles facing Linux developers and looks at some recent solutions that promise more seamless device support.
The next article in this month's set looks at a library of tools for supporting MTP-based devices such as music players and webcams in Linux. We'll describe some open source applications that support MTP, and you'll learn how to communicate with MTP devices from the command line. Next we examine the aufs2 stacked filesystem, which lets you add temporary write capability to a filesystem on a read-only device. The last article in the set shows how you can protect your privacy by encrypting the data on your USB sticks.
If you're looking for an edge in the device game, you'll find plenty to think about up ahead. Read on for this month's Device Tricks cover story.

Regulation (EEC) No 531/2012[1]
|Current legislation
European Union roaming regulations (sometimes called the Eurotariff) regulate the imposition of roaming charges within the European Union. They regulate both the charges a mobile network operator can impose on its subscribers for using telephone and data services outside of the network's member state, and the wholesale rates networks can charge each other to allow their subscribers access to each other's networks.
Since 2007, the roaming regulations have steadily lowered the maximum roaming charges allowable. In December 2016, the representatives of the Member States voted to abolish all roaming charges by June 2017.[2]

The European Commission has often raised the issue of high roaming charges within the European Union. In October 2005, the European Commission launched a consumer website on roaming tariffs in order to highlight the issue, which included €12 for a 4-minute call.
In 2006, when high roaming charge rates persisted the Commission proposed to intervene in the market by setting maximum rates at which mobile network operators could charge their subscribers. The proposed regulation was approved by the European Parliament and by the Council of Ministers, and came into law in June 2007. It required capping of retail and wholesale voice roaming charges from 30 August 2007, unless a special roaming tariff applied. The maximum prices was set to decrease further in 2008 and 2009. The regulation also required that customers traveling to another member state would receive a text message of the charges that apply for roaming services.[3] Originally the capping measures were introduced on a temporary basis and were due to expire on 30 June 2010.[4]
The law was amended in 2009 based on a review carried out under the 2007 regulation. The expiry date of the 2007 regulation was extended to 30 June 2012 and was extended to text messages and data roaming. It also provided for further annual reductions in the price capping until the expiry of the regulation and for compulsory per-second billing after 30 seconds for calls made, and per-second billing throughout for calls received.
Having still found that market conditions did not justify lifting the capping of roaming within the EU, the EU replaced the law in 2012. Under the 2012 regulation retail roaming capping charges are due to expire in 2017[5] and wholesale capping charges are due to expire in 2022.[6]
Proposal to abolish all roaming charges[edit]
In 2013 the Commission proposed to establish a single market for electronic communications within the Union and to abolish roaming charges.[7] The proposal was approved by the European Parliament on 3 April 2014, by a margin of 534 votes to 25. As drafted it would have ended roaming charges from 15 December 2015.[8] The Council of the European Union has to approve legislation before it can take effect,[9] and ended up rejecting the specifics of the proposed legislation.
Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 which was adopted on 25 November 2015 provides for the phased reduction of roaming charges within the European Union. As a transitional measure, from May 2016 the current price capping for roaming within the EU will be replaced by a maximum surcharge for roaming services which may be charged in addition to domestic charges.[10] This however will not increase the cost of roaming for customers whose domestic rates plus the surcharge are higher than the price caps.[11] It will reduce the charges for consumers with lower domestic prices or who pay for monthly allowances for using a particular service.
The Regulation also requires the Commission to submit a report to the European Parliament by June 2016 along with proposed legislative for regulation of the wholesale roaming market within the EU with a view to eliminating the transitional roaming surcharges by June 2017.[12]
Non-roaming charges for international calls/texts[edit]
The European Union roaming regulations only regulate prices while the user is roaming. Prices of calls (and text messages) when calling from your home country to another EEA country are still unregulated, and can be vastly higher than the marginal cost to the telecommunication provider. For example, it costs €0.67/minute to call from Denmark to Belgium via Oister in 2016, and the same per text message.[13] Similarly, it costs £1.50 to call an EEA numbers from the UK while on the Vodafone UK network, vs £0.05 for calling a number in the UK while roaming in France (2016).[14]
The European commission proposed in 2013 to regulate intra-EEA international calls, but it was rejected by the European Parliament and Council.[15]
[In 2013] the European Commission proposed to change this situation. Its proposal for a Telecoms Single Market (TSM) Regulation (COM(2013)627), adopted on 11 September 2013, included a provision whereby providers of electronic communications to the public should not apply tariffs for intra-Union mobile communications terminating in another Member State which were higher than the Eurotariffs for regulated voice and SMS roaming communications established in Regulation (EC) No 531/2012, unless objectively justified (Article 21 of the proposal). This proposed article also provided that tariffs for fixed intra-Union communications terminating in another Member State should not exceed tariffs for domestic long-distance communications.— Vesa Terava, Head of Unit[15]
Territorial extent[edit]
European Union roaming regulations apply to the 28 members of the EU and their outermost regions plus the three non-EU members of the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). The EU countries have applied the roaming regulation since 30 August 2007 while the EEA countries have applied it since 1 January 2008.
The regulations do not apply to Switzerland, despite close relations with the EU in several fields. Charges are considerably higher for EEA residents roaming in Switzerland, and for Swiss residents in the EEA, especially on internet data. Rates vary between €1-€10/MB.[16] The regulations also do not apply to areas which are connected to member states but are outside the EU. Two examples with high rates for visitors are Jersey and Greenland. Despite this, a few UK networks charge for roaming in Switzerland, the Channel Islands and Isle of Man at the same rates as roaming in the EU and EEA.
Common limits[edit]
All roaming charges for temporary roaming will be abolished on 15 June 2017 (fair-use rules are to be applied). The tariffs covering the period from 30 April 2016 are maximum surcharges to the price paid in the home network.[17]

- ^ When incoming calls are redirected to voice mail, operators can charge for message recording as much as a sum of their tariffs for incoming calls and outgoing calls back to home country. Beginning on 1 July 2010 operators cannot charge their roaming customers for the receipt by them of a roaming voice mail message. Listening to such messages could still be charged as an outgoing call in the future.
- ^ Customer would have the option to sign for roaming contract, separate from national mobile services, while keeping the same phone number and SIM card.
- ^ The visited network charges the same rate as it would charge for termination of a non-roaming call. This practice was already required by national regulators before the EU roaming regulations were implemented, so it is outside of the scope of this regulation.[22]
Fair use policy[edit]
To prevent missuse (i.e. cheaper tariffs available in the eastern members to be used constantly in the western members where tariffs are higher) a fair-use policy was mandated which would allow EU citizens from using their phones while roaming without extra charges for business and leisure, but would still limit the use to prevent missuse and extra costs to mobile operators.
5 September 2016 proposal (retracted)
The initial proposal for a fair use policy has been published on 5 September 2016. It would have limited the amount of free roaming to 90 days in a calendar year and a maximum of 30 consecutive days, after which regulated roaming charges (now in force) would apply. Registering in your home network on a given day would not count that day towards the limit. The proposal also stated that "the customer should nevertheless be able to consume volumes of such services equivalent to at least the average volume consumed domestically by the customers of the tariff plan in question", preventing operators from setting low call/data limits.
However, the proposal was hastily withdrawn just a couple of days after being published. Only a note on the Commission's web site remained: "An initial draft was published on 5.9.2016. The Commission services have, on the instruction of President Juncker, withdrawn the draft and are working on a new version"[23]).
The proposal was also slammed by the telco lobbyists (GSMA & ETNO) claiming it would have been "..too complex to implement and unclear for consumers." They were inclined to set the cap lower, believing a "30 consecutive days granted to each consumer within the proposal would have already covered 100% of the needs of the vast majority of European citizens." Also, legal concerns were cited stating that "In Denmark, for example, the maximum length of a contract is six months, so customers would have been able to 'reset' their roaming allowance twice a year."
Finally, it was suggested to come up with a new proposal that would be "easy to execute, and effectively prevent arbitrage and distortions on domestic markets" and warning by qoting the Commission that "Otherwise, network quality and investments in new capacity in some Member States could be affected."[24]
21 September 2016 Press release
A press release issued on 21 September (IP/16/3111[25]) reaffirmed the end of roaming charges in the EU by 2017 stating that "there should be no limits in terms of timing or volume imposed on consumers when using their mobile devices abroad in the EU." The new mechanism, although not defined in detail, "will be based on principle of residence or stable links European consumers may have with any EU Member State." (note the "any" - meaning multiple countries). A stable link is defined as: "work commuters, expats who are frequently present in their home country or Erasmus students."
The final proposal is set to be published by 15 December 2016 following feedback from BEREC, Member States and all interested parties.
Strong safeguards for operators
1) Safeguards against abuses based on residence or permanent links to an EU country (note the singular "an" meaning - one country)
Roaming is for travellers. The new draft allows operators to check usage patterns to avoid the "Roam like at Home" mechanism is abused. A non-exhaustive list of criteria includes:
- insignificant domestic traffic compared to roaming traffic;
- long inactivity of a given SIM card associated with use mostly, if not exclusively, while roaming;
- subscription and sequential use of multiple SIM cards by the same customer while roaming.
In such cases, operators will have to alert their users. Only if these conditions are met, operators will be able to apply small surcharges (the Commission proposed a maximum of €0.04/min per call, €0.01/SMS and €0.0085/MB). In case of disagreement, complaints procedures must be put in place by the operator. If the dispute persists the customer may complain to the national regulatory authority which will settle the case.
Abuses could also be related to the mass purchase and resale of SIM cards for permanent use outside the country of the operator issuing them. In such cases, the operator will be allowed to take immediate and proportionate measures while informing the national regulator.
2) Safeguards in case of exceptional circumstances in the domestic markets:
In case of price increases on a specific market or other negative effects for their domestic customers, operators can get out of the "Roam like at Home" provision allowing them, if authorised by national regulators, to temporarily apply the same small surcharges (the Commission proposed a maximum of €0.04/min per call, €0.01/SMS and €0.0085/MB). Operators will have to provide evidence to demonstrate that "Roam like at Home" was putting their domestic charging model at risk.
Exchange rates[edit]
For services paid for in currencies other than the euro, the amount in euro is converted to the other currency using the reference rates published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJoEU).
After the adoption of EU regulation 531/2012[20] the retail exchange rate to be used for the relevant year should be calculated by taking the average of the reference exchange rates published in the OJoEU on 1 March, 1 April and 1 May of that year, with the new exchange rate coming into force on 1 July of that year. The wholesale exchange rate however is taken from only the rate published on 1 May of that year.
Local price limits[edit]
Method of calculating[edit]
As the VAT rates and currencies vary across the EU and EEA, the European Commission publishes price caps in euro and excluding VAT. So the final prices for each country can be calculated by adding the corresponding VAT rate and converting to the currency of the country (if non-euro).
|For countries using the euro
|For countries using currency other than euro
|is European Commission maximum allowed tariff without VAT in euro
|is Value Added Tax rate for specified country, given in per cent
|is Exchange rate for specified country published by ECB
In order to avoid double taxation, non-taxation or the distortion of competition, an EU member state may, in accordance with Article 9(3)(a) of Council Directive 77/388 ("the Sixth VAT Directive"), include within the scope of its national VAT any telecommunications services used within its territory but billed outside the EU VAT area. When opting to do so, it must also exempt from its national VAT any roaming services supplied by home networks within its territory but used outside the EU VAT area. The inclusion of telecommunications within the scope of Article 9 was requested by the United Kingdom,[26] which subsequently enacted the change under Article 19 of the Value Added Tax (Place of Supply of Services) Order 1992. Consequently, when an EU member state makes this VAT exemption, roaming on networks in the Åland Islands, Gibraltar, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla and French overseas departments is subject to the price caps with no VAT applied, because these countries and territories are within the EEA but outside the EU VAT area.
The charge limits for the Eurotariff and the wholesale average charge should be calculated to the maximum number of decimal places permitted by the official exchange rate. This sets the maximum that can be charged in the national currency. Providers may wish in practice to quote charges in whole numbers of currency units, especially at the retail level, although this in practice is not compulsory. In this case, the numbers should be rounded down. Rounding up of these numbers to above the level of the relevant cap is not permitted under any circumstances.[27][28]

Pistons 103, Kings 97
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. Greg Monroe had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Detroit held off Sacramento for its first three-game winning streak.
Sacramento cut a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to one, and Detroit led 100-97 when Austin Daye made a 3-pointer with the shot clock running down with 11.5 seconds left.
Detroit has won five of six, in large part because of terrific play from its reserves. The group scored 44 points on Tuesday.
DeMarcus Cousins had 21 points and 14 rebounds for the Kings.
The Pistons led 89-73 before Sacramento's late rally. The Kings had a chance to take the lead with Detroit in front 96-95, but the Pistons forced a shot clock violation when Tayshaun Prince blocked a shot.
Monroe made one of two free throws with 1:26 remaining, and Aaron Brooks turned the ball over at the other end. After Brandon Knight made a free throw, Jimmer Fredette's driving attempt was short. Detroit's Will Bynum made it a five-point game with two free throws.
The Kings would have had one more chance to tie, but Daye took a pass on the right wing and connected for his second 3-pointer of the game.

I still can't belive what I saw at the end of Ohio States' game against Iowa State. You could have told me that Aaron Craft would step up at the end of the game to make a big shot. However if you told me that shot would be a 3 pointer after he had waived off the leading scorer in the Big Ten (Deshaun Thomas). I woukd have said, "My boy Aaron Craft must have been feeling it. On a Rick James in the 80s type of level. He must have been slapping the other team around (MEAT style)." Aaron Craft against Iowa State While I didn't believe that Aaron Craft had a bad game, I must admit that the egg was in the building. And when I say in the building I mean on the sideline about to take his warm ups off, and saddle up next to Craft on the free throw line. Wow!! Aaron Craft was terrible on the free throw line at the end of that game. I know Nick Anderson was watching that scared, thinking that Craft would take his title of, "I'm missing all these free throws, because and I can't stop spitting up on my shirt." At one point I was praying the referee confused him with someone else and let them take the free throws. In addition to the missed free throws, he made some illadvised ball handling mistakes that some people said (everyone that was watching the game on twitter) was a sign that he was choking. To that I would say, it's little presumptuous to call a couple bad plays choking. Yes, he made some errors, but it's not like he was throwing the ball to the other team. He made bad plays while being aggressive, which is forgivable. But none of that matters now, because Aaron Craft went Sam Cassell at the end of the game. The only thing that could have made it better was if he ripped off his shirt and started doing the testicle dance. Ohio State Must Make the Final Four Usually I don't heap pressure on Ohio State, because I believe in sports jinxes ( My most recent jinx was when I called my grandmother during halftime of the Cavaliers – Heat game to celebrate breaking Miami's streak. Only to be reminded a quarter later that the Cavs are playing a D-League roster). However when the brackets came out I noticed that the west region had the weakest of all the at-large teams outside of Wisconsin. Now that Wisconsin is gone and Gonzaga has done their Gonzaga impersonation. The Ohio State Buckeyes have a clear path to the Final Four in which they will be favored in every game. So while I don't think they are one of the best four teams left in the tournament, if they don't make the Final Four this will be a choke. Now lets see if they can Aaron Craft their way out of it.

The Sensex witnessed volatile trading on Thursday, dropping steeply at first and then rebounding strongly to end almost flat with domestic and global trends affecting sentiments.
The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex on Thursday closed at 19,317.19 points, just 28.51 points or 0.15% down. However during the course of the day, the market fluctuated widely from a high of 19,569.20 points to a low of 19,170.46 points.
"The National Spot Exchange (NSEL) suspension affected sentiment in the market," says Sahil Kapoor, assistant vice-president of retail capital markets, Edelweiss Financial Services.
Positive news came from the US as well. On Thursday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) reaffirmed its stance over the gradual rollback of the current stimulus programme but refrained from giving any hint over the timeline for the same.
"In other words, they are not planning to initiate curbing of funds in near future. The move was rejoiced across the globe including our domestic markets as well," said Jayant Manglik, president of retail research, Religare Securities.
Domestically, currency movements and US non-farm payroll data are what will guide the market going forward. "The market would continue to witness choppy moves across the board, therefore, one should refrain from overtrading at this juncture," Manglik added.

The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973)

28 Days Later (Danny Boyle, 2002)
Save the Green Planet! (Joon-Hwan Jang, 2003)

The Descent (Neil Marshall, 2005)
Battle Royale (Kinji Fukasaku, 2000)
Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)
'Apart from "Poltergeist", "The Exorcist" was the only film to make us scared of ghosts and possessions. We both saw it as little kids without the permission of our parents, and we both turned out fucked up! Let that be a lesson to all you future parents. This movie also enjoys the best depiction of a real, hard hangover. "Alien" and "The Thing" are like twisted twins that were separated at birth. Two different groups in two deserted landscapes meet up with two of the most horrific monsters in movie history. "Alien" also enjoy the best depiction of a food-court food poisoning. "Save the Green Planet" is one of the best genre-blender pieces Korea has ever made. A simple man plans to kidnap and torture the corrupt CEO of a Korean chemical firm in an attempt to prove he's an alien. "Altered" is an unrated horror film which has a great concept at its core: a group of young people wants to take revenge on the alien that killed their friend a few years before. This movie offers you rednecks v aliens in the battle of the superior species. And we can imagine the pitch for "The Descent": it's "Deliverance" in a cave, with British hotties instead of Ned Beatty.'

Night of the Living Dead (George A Romero, 1968)
Martin (George A Romero, 1976)

The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973)
Carrie (Brian De Palma, 1976)
The Legend of Hell House (John Hough, 1973)
The Entity (Sidney J Furie, 1982)
'There were two Canadian horror films tied for 10th place and I couldn't decide between them. "The Entity" stars Barbara Hershey as a single Mom who is brutally and repeatedly raped by a poltergeist – supposedly based on a true story! The other was "Pin", about a teenage boy whose paranoid schizophrenia makes him believe that his doctor father's medical mannequin is his psychic twin and best friend, with murderous results. And "Night Tide" is interesting: Dennis Hopper's first starring role casts him as a sailor who is sexually fixated on the girl who plays the mermaid in the seashore sideshow. Is she really a mythic creature who lures men to their death at sea, or just a disturbed girl who pretends to be one in the carnival? Low budget, but beautifully atmospheric and romantic.'
John Langan
John Langan is an American author and writing teacher whose short scary stories have won every award going.

Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960)
Halloween (John Carpenter, 1978)
Freaks (Tod Browning, 1932)
Triumph of the Will (Leni Riefensthal, 1935)
Cape Fear (Martin Scorsese, 1991)
Groundhog Day (Harold Ramis, 1993)
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (Julian Schnabel, 2007)
'"Triumph of the Will" shows how easily "truth" can be spun from whole lies. "Groundhog Day" might be a comedy, but the central idea gives us a glimpse into an identifiable living hell. And "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" allows us to empathise so much with the main character, it makes for an excruciatingly horrifying experience.'

Let the Right One In (Tomas Alfredson, 2008)
'Pure gore bores the hell out of me. I like my horror to be strong on narrative with all the atmospheric aspects of a taut thriller. The music and the overall look is the fabric of great horror. If you think about it, you can instantly recall the setting of any great horror flick, because the ambience plays as important a role as the actors. But ultimately it is the actors' great performances that carry us through, only when we connect with them on an emotional level are we convinced the horror is real. It's hard to strike the perfect balance between all these elements, but when you see it, there is nothing else quite like it.'

Les Possédées du Diable (Lorna the Exorcist) (Jesus Franco, 1974)
'My Top 10 changes all the time. The absence of some traditional contenders -- "The Bride of Frankenstein", "Night of the Living Dead", "Witchfinder General" etc -- is due to overfamiliarity, but I think it's right to take into account which films continue to deliver the goods even when we know what's coming. I limited myself to one film per director, and my list is offered in the order I think is best. That said, I've opted to champion a couple of worthy titles unlikely to make other lists. "Toby Dammit" defines invention and innovation within the genre. Working from a classic Edgar Allan Poe text, Fellini and Bernardino Zapponi adapt a work of horror and satire from another era and contemporise it, reinventing the very totems of horror and finding its analogy in the trappings of Hollywood, human goals (like the perfect wife, the perfect car), and (as Sartre said) other people. Made at a time when the horror genre was still externalising its monsters, "Black Narcissus" took the unusual step of demonising scenic beauty and dealing with the angel-wrestling that is the conflict between the spirit and the flesh. "Hakujitsumo" was the first Japanese hardcore film. It is also the most purely (and abstractly) nightmarish film I've seen, and the one that most successfully eroticises horror while making the sexual act itself seem demonic. And no other filmmaker has given more to the genre than Jesus Franco in terms of quantity and quality. Though it has rough edges, I find "Les Posedées du Diable", a Faustian variation on the Rumplestiltskin story, more toxic and frightening than most other horror films, and the finale is as apocalyptic in its own way as any I've seen.'

Call (888) 651-9785
Wonderful day.
Amazing! I highly recommend it.
very good
Fabulous attentive staff! More than I could ever expect! Excellent trip!
Great tour great to dive on the reef recommend
Truly an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life. Everything was smooth and on time. We only snorkeled and did a snorkeling tour that was so worth the price. The tour guide was nice and extremely knowledgable. We actually went to Hanauma Bay after the reef because a friend said it was some of the best snorkeling on Hawaii and it didn't even come close to The Great Barrier Reef. Cairns, where we launched from, is a nice little touristy town with a couple things to do to keep you busy if you still have the energy when you get back from swimming.
I read that a number of people had complaints about how crowded the boat was, but in April he boat was maybe, MAYBE, half booked. That left a lot of open water for us to explore.
If I was going to give anyone tips about preparing, the two I would give are
1. If you have ANY motion sickness issues, get something for it or buy the 3 tabs they offer as soon as you get on board. A number of people were extremely ill because the waters near the shore were so choppy. One poor guy went through 6 vomit bags on the way back in.
2. Find out what people who snorkel you can find out online probably do to keep their masks from fogging up. Having to keep stopping to defog your mask will take away from your experience.
Excellent trip. Weather was good to us. Information and personnel top notch. The Reef is amazing.
I loved everything about this trip !! The staff were absolutely fabulous and made sure every passenger was safe and happy, Lunch was yummy. Only thing wrong was that there were no showers on the pontoon but other than that, would definitely recommend this day out !! 9 out of 10 stars !!!
A diversity of the crew in nationality and languages spoken was impressive.
Picture souvenirs were a bit pricey! Reasonable cost for lycra/wet suit rental!
A variety of food selection of different nationality tourists was excellent!
Everyone was very professional and the events were well organized. Had a good experience!
Superb experience, trip highlight
I thought the trip was excellent! The crew was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun and informative. I WOULD Definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
Beyond words. The day was overcast but the reef was clear, warm. I took the guided snorkeling tour and the guide took us to the best spots to see the most amazing part of the reef. Incredible!
This tour was amazing!
Absolutely life-time experience! Excellent food !
All you would expect! Buffet lunch was top class, but it paid to be in the first wave of diners.
This tour was the highlight of our trip! It was truly magical swimming among the fish and seeing the coral.
The ride out was a bit long but worth it.
Done this trip before and it is amazing. Could not do it this time because of weather conditions
Alice L Canada
It was a wonderful experience! We joined the guided snorkelling tour. The guide was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. My daughter is still excited every time she talked about the coral and sea animals she saw that day.
Was a GREAT DAY... But was listed as FULL Day. Only out to Reef till 1:30 pm So a Little Disappointed in that. But the tour and activities were OUTSTANDING
Boat departed on time and we had about 4 hours at the pontoon. Did a guided snorkel tour and saw a turtle. Buffet lunch food was good. The reef around the pontoon is not the best but it's a good day out none the less. Staff onboard are friendly and helpful.
