The cutting wounds in the neck and left leg…


The cutting wounds in the neck and left leg… Important to see all sides of the story. Than, from wide variety of assortments, carefully decide which lot take in and hold, and which is to “dar, vender e oferecer…”. With this “life” (lifestyle), - I’m eat too much. Also my stupid habit to hold too much time the somebody’s trouble, the unnecessary worries which are coming constantly from another’s, all this make me fat outside and miserable inside. Toxic blend… However, after the last ‘moments’, I see the second half of this month in a more positive way. Maybe it can be perfect for getting all the practical elements of my situation (for example, make love to Zara Phillips) run more smoothly. The yesterday, happenZ some wonder in respect of my financial considerations area. As well as in the domestic front (the Janice of “Hackney” Voluntary Action, the Robin’s Working Links, etc). Which with “Gods” help and the my persistence, maybe, put me in good stead in both quarters.

COLOCA HOY OTROS 958 MILLONES A 30 AÑOS. España emite en sólo tres días deuda por 12.500 millones. Publicado el 18-02-2010. El tercer día consecutivo de emisión de deuda se saldó con la adjudicación de otros 958 millones de euros, dentro del rango esperado, al mayor de los plazos previstos por el Tesoro, 30 años. El interés ascendió al 4,81%, 82 puntos básicos por encima del bono alemán. La deuda española supera así una semana de reválida con la emisión de un total de 12.500 millones. Una de las semanas más frenéticas de los últimos tiempos para el Tesoro español ha concluido con un balance tranquilizador, al que también ha contribuido el contexto de mayor relajación que reflejan los mercados internacionales de deuda pública. La última de las reválidas era la emisión de la deuda a más largo plazo del Tesoro, 30 años, con un cupón del 4,2%. El objetivo era colocar un mínimo de 500 millones, y un máximo de 1.500. Las peticiones alcanzaron los 1.903 millones, y el importe adjudicado, finalmente, fue de 958 millones de euros. La demanda superó 1,99 veces la oferta. En la anterior subasta de estas obligaciones, el pasado mes de junio, la ratio de cobertura fue inferior, de 1,4. Entonces el interés aplicado se estableció en el 4,923%. En el día de hoy el precio se ha moderado al 4,811%. Este porcentaje, en todo caso, se sitúa 82 puntos básicos por encima del equivalente en la deuda alemana (3,99%). Los 958 millones adjudicados hoy a 30 años amplían el importe de deuda pública emitido sólo en los tres últimos días a 12.500 millones de euros. En la primera jornada el Tesoro colocó, mediante subasta, 6.578 millones en letras a 12 y 18 meses, y ayer sindicó 5.000 millones en bonos a 15 años. El resultado de esta oleada de emisiones contribuye a relajar las tensiones, y a rebajar los diferenciales de deuda y los seguros de impago. Nada más conocerse los datos del cierre de la subasta de hoy, el diferencial de rentabilidad del bono español a diez años frente al bund alemán se moderaba a 81 puntos básicos, desde los 83 contabilizados en la apertura de la bolsa española.

Mugabe threatens break with KP - Agence France Press (AFP) report. Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe on Wednesday threatened to defy the Kimberley Process to sell diamonds from a field where the global regulator accuses the military of forced labour and other abuses, AFP reported. The Kimberley Process (KP) has given Zimbabwe until June to rectify abuses of civilians by its army at the eastern Marange diamond fields, but Mugabe threatened to sell the diamonds without clearance from the watchdog, the report said. "We are trying to play it their own way, that is following the KP, but we can do it otherwise," Mugabe told reporters in Harare, it said. "We can sell our own diamonds elsewhere," he said. The Kimberley Process covers about 99.8% of the world's production of rough diamonds, with 49 members representing 75 countries working within the scheme. Major diamond bourses already refuse to sell diamonds from Marange, and an auction of 300,000 carats in Harare last month was cancelled at the last minute because the sale had not won Kimberley approval, said the report. Selling diamonds outside the scheme would essentially mean turning to the black market, it said. Mines minister Obert Mpofu says Zimbabwe has already met key Kimberley requirements by withdrawing the police and army from Marange. The government says two South African firms now run Marange. But the British-based watchdog Global Witness, which is a member of the Kimberley Process, said last month that the military still appears to controls large swaths of the diamond field. The eastern Marange diamond fields cover some 66,000 hectares (163,000 acres), but the gems were only discovered there in 2006, said the report. Global Witness had pushed for a ban on Zimbabwe's international sales over the abuses at Marange, after a Kimberley investigation documented "unacceptable and horrific violence against civilians by authorities," including forced labour, torture and beatings by soldiers against villagers. Instead, Zimbabwe was given until June to comply with Kimberley's regulations. The diamond field is also tied up in a separate legal battle in Harare between the government and the British firm African Consolidated Resources, which says it has the license to exploit the gems in Marange, the AFP report said. All foreign firms in Zimbabwe are under pressure after the government last week unveiled regulations that would require locals to take up 51% stakes in major businesses. The controversial law would affect key companies in banking and mining. Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, Mugabe's partner in a fragile unity government, has dismissed the regulations as void, saying they were improperly drafted, said the report. Mugabe defended the new rules, saying foreign firms would be "foolish" not to comply. "Forty nine percent (foreign shareholding), it's a hell lot of equity. It's only foolish ones who will say so, wise ones will take it up. It's foolish and selfish," Mugabe said. Mugabe's comments underscored tensions within the unity government, but he insisted that he and Tsvangirai were united on the need for western countries to lift sanctions on him and about 100 of his allies. "We are in agreement," Mugabe told reporters after a tourism conference in Harare. "We are all agreed that the sanctions must go." EU leaders on Tuesday cited a lack of progress in implementing Zimbabwe's power-sharing agreement, extending travel bans and asset freezes for another 12 months, according to AFP. Seperately, Zimbabwe's Mines Minister Obert Mpofu was quoted in the state-run Herald newspaper as saying the government had accepted Abbey Chikane, the head of the South African Diamond Board and director of the World Diamond Council as monitor for the Chiadzwa diamond fields.

Rough scarcity to hit Indian cutters. Business Standard. Still struggling to overcome last year’s poor sales following economic slowdown in August 2008, the Indian diamond processing industry is faced with another problem — shortage of rough stones by 25-30 %, Business Standard reported. Many jewellery makers were planning to showcase innovative designs and cuts, the two most important aspects on the basis of which products are priced, in one of the largest jewellery shows in Asia scheduled from March 5-9 in Hong Kong. But the shortage of rough has limited their scope, the report said. Sanjay Kothari, ex-chairman, Gems & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), said India imported 30% less rough in 2009, which continued in January 2010 as well. “But this is just the beginning of the year and global economies are recovering. Demand for diamond jewellery is likely to recover in the coming months,” he added. According to the report, the shortage of rough and their continued month-on-month rise in prices is causing concern among large diamond companies.

Qantas to cut more first-class cabins. February 18 2010 07:42. Qantas will axe more first-class cabins and reconfigure its aircraft fleet to meet the challenge of sharply reduced demand for premium seats, the Australian airline said as it reported a 72 per cent plunge in first half profits.

Qantas plane with gear problems lands safely. Updated 4 hours 45 minutes ago. A Qantas plane that was having troubling with its landing gear has touched down without incident after turning back to Sydney. Qantas flight 129 was carrying 197 passengers bound for Shanghai when the pilot realised the plane's landing gear would not retract into its underbelly. Qantas says the plane was turned around as a precaution, and it spent about an hour circling around Sydney airport dumping fuel before landing safely just before 3:00pm (AEDT). The airline says the plane did not have to make an emergency landing because the wheels were already locked into the touchdown position. Qantas says it has provided a replacement plane for the plane's passengers. Meanwhile, Qantas has indicated its fares will rise as the world economy recovers and demand for air travel picks up. The airline has posted a net profit after tax of $58 million for the first half of the financial year. That is 72 per cent lower than the same period a year earlier, but is an improvement on the previous half's loss. The airline's chief executive, Alan Joyce, has hinted the company's survival may depend on higher fares. "Most of the international industry is losing money, $US5.6 billion for the aviation industry after $US13 billion in losses last year," he said. "That's not sustainable on those average airfares, so we know they have to increase."

Mittal’s Credibility Tested in Bharti Bid for Zain Africa “If you’re caught between speed and perfection, always choose speed, and perfection will follow,” he told the U.S.- India Business Council, according to an interview published by the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. “In business, you don’t have time.” (Bloomberg) -- For Sunil Mittal,Bharti Airtel Ltd.’s founder and chairman, there’s a lot riding on the planned $9 billion purchase of the African assets of Kuwait’s Zain, not least of which is his credibility. The 52-year-old self-made entrepreneur, who built his mobile-phone company from scratch into India’s largest wireless operator with a market value of $23 billion, has failed twice to take over South Africa’s MTN Group Ltd. Mittal is seeking assets in Africa as an increasingly crowded market at home brings him call rates of less than half a U.S. cent a minute. He can’t afford to fail a third time, investors said. “The credibility of Mittal will be at stake this time; your ability to close deals, your killer instinct,” said A. S. Thiyaga Rajan, senior managing director at Aquarius Investment Advisors Pte in Singapore, which manages $260 million in assets, including Bharti shares. “He wasn’t able to convince MTN that they would be better off by going to bed with them. If he doesn’t succeed now, then what next?” Completing the purchase would give Bharti 42 million customers across 15 African markets, creating the world’s ninth- largest mobile-phone operator.
