10 Reasons to Invest in Kazakhstan
- Ample Natural Resources Kazakhstan's priceless treasure is its mineral resources. Kazakhstan is the 6th largest country around the world in terms of mineral resources. 99 elements discovered, 70 elements explored, 60 are being recovered and used in Kazakhstan's soil out of 110 elements of D.I. Mendeleyev's periodic table; they are: oil, gas, uranium, zinc, tungsten, barium, silver, lead, chrome, copper, fluorites, molybdenum, and gold. Mineral and resources base of the Republic of Kazakhstan consists of 5,004 fields; estimated cost is around USD 46 trillion.
- Favorable Location Kazakhstan is located right in the heart of Eurasia, The Silk Road extended throughout the whole of Kazakhstan. The major overland routes binding Asia and the Pacific Region with Near East and Middle East, and Europe as well, pass through Kazakhstan. 3 of 4 BRIC* countries are situated next to Kazakhstan: Russia, China, and India.
- Political Stability Domestic policy stability is some kind of "core value" of Kazakhstan on global investment market. This issue was the foremost and topical one on the leader's agenda. The prime example of Kazakhstan's domestic and foreign policy is Kazakhstan's OSCE chairmanship in 2010 associated with global community confidence in growth power of republican development trend. OSCE summit held in Astana in December 2010 is the largest forum in post-Soviet history.
- Favorable Business Climate A great significance is attached to all aspects of a favorable business climate for investors in Kazakhstan: administrative barriers lowering and proceduress implification, of law enforcement and judicial systems efficiency enhancement, tax and customs administration improvement. Kazakhstan is holding a leading position in terms of number and quality of the recent reforms among CIS countries. Over the last two years, Kazakhstan was at the top of the list of 10 countries that achieved considerable success in creating favorable conditions for conducting business.
- Investor Protection Attraction and effective use of foreign investment is one of the main trends in mutually beneficial trade and economic ties of Kazakhstan with other countries. A national status was assigned to international investments in Kazakhstan; in other words, foreign and domestic companies have the same conditions to conduct investment activities.
- Presence of Transnational Corporations Thanks to favorable conditions provided to conduct business throughout Kazakhstan, multinational and foreign companies started to operate in the country. Please see the link "Success Stories" for more information.
- Foreign Direct Investments Kazakhstan has been very successful in attracting foreign direct investments to spur its economic development. With almost 700 US dollars per capita, Kazakhstan is only three positions behind the US in the top-10 of FDI receivers (between Czech Republic and Malaysia). Since 1993 Kazakhstan has attracted FDI of over USD 136 bln.
- Economic Growth Thanks to elaborated policy and attracted FDI, Kazakh economy is steadily growing. Over the last decade, GDP demonstrated a 8-fold growth (from USD 17 bln to USD 146.5 bln).
- Combined Market of the Customs Union As Kazakhstan entered Customs Union with a market value of 170 bln., an individual opens new doors and perspectives to efficiently implement investment projects around Kazakhstan. Investors will have a chance to freely promote their products to Russia and Belarus markets.
- Industrial and Innovative Development Specialized institutions were created in Kazakhstan to facilitate industrial development: National oil fund provides economic stability, Samruk-Kazyna National Welfare Fund consolidates state potential atimplementing breakthroughs; Development institutions running the diversification process. In 2010, the State Program of Accelerated Industrial-Innovative Development for 2010-2014 was adopted; its main objectives are to create new export-oriented high-tech manufacturing; infrastructure development; national innovative system strengthening; local personnel development.

Kazakhstan: New Investment Climate
1. Background
As is known, during the 27th session of the Foreign Investors' Council held on 12 June 2014, the President of Kazakhstan Mr. Nursultan Nazarbayev announced the establishment of a unilateral visa-free regime for citizens of 10 countries, which most actively invest in Kazakhstan, specifically for the UK, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the UAE, the Republic of Korea, the USA, France and Japan (*1).
At the same date the President signed the Law for Introducing Amendments to Various Legislative Acts on Issues Relating to the Improvement of the Investment Climate (the "Law"), which entered into force from 24 June 2014 (*2).
The Law made significant amendments to the Kazakhstan Law on Investments dated 8 January 2003 (the "Investments Law") and the Kazakhstan Tax Code dated 10 December 2008 (the "Tax Code"). Minor amendments were also introduced to the laws on employment, on concessions, on migration and on natural monopolies and regulated markets.
2. Green light for Priority Investment Projects
2.1. Preferences
Kazakhstan has established a highly preferential regime for those investment projects classified as "priority investment projects" (the "Project(s)"). The primary criterion for a Project is investment of not less than approx. USD 20 million in one of the areas specified by the Government.
An investor which has concluded an investment contract for a Project with the authorized body (currently – Investments Committee under the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies (the "Investments Committee") (*3)), may enjoy the following advantages (as specifically set out in an investment contract):
1) exemption from corporate income tax (20 %) for up to 10 years;
2) exemption from land tax for up to 10 years;
3) exemption from property tax for up to 8 years from the date when fixed assets (e.g., a plant) are commissioned (only for those assets which were commissioned for the first time);
4) reimbursement of up to 30 percent of actual expenses on construction works and purchase of equipment (so-called "investment subsidy" (*4)) on the basis of documentary evidence after full commissioning. To apply for an investment subsidy, an applicant must also provide a feasibility study approved by the state expertise. The Government will approve the rules on granting investment subsidies;
5) exemption from the need to obtain work permits for foreign workers of the legal entity holding the investment contract, its contractors and subcontractors in the area of research and design activities, engineering services and construction works. Such exemption is valid until the expiration of 1 year from the date of commissioning. The list of professions and number of attracted staff is set out in the investment contract;
6) stability with regard to the above tax preferences and "work permits-free" regime(*5) ;
7) interaction with the Investments Committee under the principle of "one window". An investor shall only file an application to the Investments Committee with related documents and negotiate further with the Committee regarding conditions of the investment contract;
8) simplified procedure for obtaining land plots for a Project;
9) assistance from the Investments Committee with regard to obtaining a guaranteed order(s) from national state-owned companies;
10) (this preference existed earlier and remains valid) exemption from customs fees for the import of technological equipment and spare parts, for the period of an investment contract, but not more than 5 years.
2.2. Entry criteria
2.2.1. Status of a newly established Kazakhstan entity
An investment contract for a Project can be concluded only with the entity, which has the status of a "newly established Kazakhstan entity", i.e.:
1) its state registration was performed not earlier than 1 year before the application for investment preferences was submitted;
2) it carries out activities set out in the list of priority types of activities for execution of Projects (the "Activities List");
3) the implementation of the Project is performed only within the framework of a single investment contract.
The Activities List is determined by the Government and can be reconsidered not more than once per year. The following areas cannot be included in the Activities List: (i) gambling, (ii) subsoil use and (iii) manufacturing of excisable goods (except for motor transportation vehicles with volume of engine being more than 3,000 cubic cm, not including microbuses, buses and trolleybuses).
2.2.2. The investment preferences for a Project are provided under the following conditions:
1) a newly established Kazakhstan entity shall invest more than approx. USD 20 million.
Such entity shall not:
(i) carry out activities on the territory of special economic zones;
(ii) be a company owned directly or indirectly by the state (including by a state-owned company); or
(iii) be an autonomous educational institution.
2) no funds from the Kazakhstan national budget shall be allocated as a source or guarantee of financing of the Project;
3) the investment activity shall not be performed under a concession contract; and
4) the resolution of the Government on granting an investment subsidy shall be available (in our view, it is applicable only if the investor wishes to receive an investment subsidy).
2.2.3. Conditions under the Tax Code
To enjoy the tax preferences referred to above, the entity-holder of an investment contract under a Project shall receive not less than 90 percent of the aggregate annual income from carrying out the activity relating to the execution of the Project.
Furthermore, if tax legislation is amended and rates of taxes and fees are increasing, then the holder of the investment contract under a Project shall apply the rates of taxes and fees (except for VAT and excises), that were applicable on the day when the investment contract was concluded.
3. Investments Ombudsman
The Law also introduced the position of an Investment Ombudsman. He is appointed by the Government and has to assist in the protection of rights and lawful interests of investors. He shall:
(i) consider applications of investors and issue recommendations for resolving them, including by means of interaction with the authorities;
(ii) assist investors in the resolution of disputable issues in out-of-court and pre-trial orders; and
(iii) elaborate and file to the Government recommendations for improving Kazakhstan legislation.
4. How to apply
A potential applicant shall collect the documents required by the Investments Law (*6).
According to current regulations (*7), the Investments Committee considers an application with relevant documents within 20 business days. If it is approved, the Committee prepares a draft investment contract within 10 business days from the date of approval. Such contract is made in view of provisions of the typical investment agreement approved by the Government (*8). The parties may negotiate more detailed content of the investment contracts.

It is fire safety week. Since both my boys love all things firefighter it was a perfect time to get out a few of our firemen books and read them. We also did a few activity sheets and an easy fire craft. Even though they are still at a young age I talked about fire safety a little. We went over: stop, drop, and roll if you catch fire, what number to call if there is a fire, and what to do if the house ever caught fire. My youngest may not have picked up on what I was saying but my oldest did. Big brother had fun showing little brother how to stop, drop, and roll. Even for young kids taking the time to get in a habit to go over fire safety could make a big difference in a emergency.
I had hoped to put something together for this week some time ago and make it a little more exciting. However, I had to tell myself that simple is good. And for my boys this was just enough for their age and they had fun. I was happy that we took the time to set up a family plan in case of a fire. We hope you too may be able to have some simple learning and fun with these activities and craft.

Our Day
For the easy fire craft
You can print the template from above link or make your own. The link said to let the kids paint the flames but I chose to let them use markers. Both can be messy but for me the clean up of the markers took less time then the paint would have. My oldest actually did pretty good and didn't get marker all over. My youngest did color his highchair a little and his hands,lol. This did wipe off the chair with ease and his hands came clean enough for me. I then cut out my toddlers flames and let him help me glue it to black construction paper. He was very excited to show daddy what he made when he came home. Big brother chose not to cut his flames out and glue them to paper. He was also excited to give his picture to daddy when he got home from work. With my young kids easy crafts work best for us most days so this was perfect.
Here's a link with a little info on fire safety week.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- A plane that plunged into a Collier County creek is now out of the water. A dive team was able to bring the plane to surface, located inside the Fiddler's Creek community.
On Sunday, the pilot had to make an emergency landing after the plane had engine problems. The divers had to deal with snakes and alligators before they could bring up the plane.
The plane is now out of the water and sitting on land, but for three days the 650 pound home-built airplane was submerged under water.
The recovery for diver Scott Weinstein and his partner didn't start a smooth as they would have liked. He says what was suppose to be a recovery, turned into a "search" and a recovery for the wreckage.
"It was difficult to find it because where they said the airplane came to rest, actually wasn't where the airplane came to rest, it was probably 100 yards from actual location we were given," Weinstein said.
The plane will be towed to Fort Pierce where investigators will look at the aircraft.
The pilot is still in the hospital, with three fractured bones in his back.

Weather Forecast: Chance of Showers Through Friday
Published On: Apr 03 2014 05:16:08 PM CDT
Updated On: Apr 04 2014 01:04:18 AM CDT
Updated On: Apr 04 2014 01:04:18 AM CDT
The chance for showers will continue through the day on Friday with temperatures struggling to get out of the 50s. Any rain we do see will be very light and won't amount to much with snow levels between 4,000 and 5,000 feet.
High pressure will start to build back over the Northstate this weekend with highs in the upper 60s on Saturday and mid 70s by Sunday. It will be even warmer on Monday and Tuesday with temperatures in the low 80s under sunny skies.
The ridge of high pressure will start to break down near the end of next week giving us slightly cooler temperatures and may even bring back a chance for showers.

a defensive rigidity to a United side that notched six consecutive wins. Midway through the month, Rafael issued a rallying cry, proclaiming that, despite the team's poor start to the campaign, United could still win the title: "If we get a good run going, I think we have a chance. We can do 10 games unbeaten – this is Manchester United. This club can always win games. It is not impossible for us to win the title."
January 2014
Having picked up an injury in the Boxing Day clash with Hull City, Rafael returned to the Reds' starting XI in the 2-1 reverse against Sunderland in the Capital One Cup semi-final first leg. Four further appearances followed, with varying degrees of success, starting with the 2-0 home league win over Swansea, after which United were comfortably beaten by Chelsea and Rafael was arguably lucky not to see red after a challenge on Blues defender Gary Cahill. Then, days later, the Reds were knocked out of the Capital One Cup on penalties by Sunderland, with Rafael among the players unfortunate to miss their spot-kick. But a professional display against Cardiff helped United get back to winning ways and marked a second clean sheet of January.

text: Chicago Suddenly Against Giant 'Trump' Sign on Downtown Building Print article Send a Tip by Warner Todd Huston 17 Jun 2014 post a comment Donald Trump was given permission to put his name in giant, one-story-tall letters on his downtown Chicago building, but as soon as the sign went up he began to get complaints from Mayor Rahm Emanuel and others. When real estate mogul Donald Trump opened his Chicago Trump Tower in 2008, he applied to city regulators to put his name on the tower the next year. Not long afterward he was given permission to do so, but he has waited until this year to get the job done. Critics say the giant letters are but so much Trump ego marring the city. In fact, the giant, 20-foot-tall letters are smaller than the size the city approved. Even so, "The Donald" is getting criticism for the sign. Last week, former Obama Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel criticized the sign and told the media that he was looking into a new city ordinance that would prevent such signs in the future. Before all five of the letters had even been installed, Emanuel let it be known that he wasn't pleased with the results. "The mayor thinks the sign is awful," mayoral spokesman Bill McCaffrey told the Chicago Tribune. "It's in very poor taste and scars what is otherwise an architecturally accomplished building." Trump, though, pointed out that Emanuel's own regulatory machine approved the sign, and if the mayor didn't like it, then too darn bad. Trump also said that the sign is good for the city. "It happens to be great for Chicago, because I have the hottest brand in the world," Trump told The Wall Street Journal on June 10. Adrian Smith, Trump's own Chicago architect, agreed with Mayor Emanuel that the sign was "kind of tasteless." However, Trump slammed Smith, saying, "I had more to do with the design of that building than Adrian Smith did. The best thing that ever happened to Adrian Smith is Donald Trump." Trump also noted that big signs existed in Chicago before he came around. "Before I bought the site, the Sun Times had the biggest, ugliest sign Chicago has ever seen," Trump tweeted on Thursday. "Mine is magnificent and popular." Fox News spoke to several folks on the streets of Chicago and found the giant Trump sign got mixed reviews. Some liked it; others weren't so sure. However, few in the media are as forgiving as the folks on the street. Blair Kamin of the Tribune called Trump's sign "The Donald's badge of dishonor" and bemoaned that the lettering meant, "Goodbye, graceful public space. Hello, schlock alley." The Tribune's Rex Huppke jumped on the issue, saying the sign triggers his "gag reflex" and calling it a "Trumptastrophe."

Try these New Year's resolutions for your pet
our pet might like fancy toys, enjoy tasty treats and get excited when gobbling down a special mouth-watering meal, but those who give their dogs and cats gifts and food to celebrate the New Year should reconsider their approach.
Leading animal welfare organizations say that as much as your pet might appreciate toys and treats, those gifts pale in comparison to the most cherished thing in the life of a dog or cat, and that thing is your time and attention.

So the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the American Kennel Club are urging owners to adopt this simple New Year's resolution: Spend more time and do more activities with your pet.
"Eighty-one percent of dog owners buy gifts for their dogs," AKC spokeswoman Lisa Peterson states in a media release. "But what you should really be giving them is consistent exercise, training and stimulation. Try to start the year off right by resolving to do more with your dog."
Dogs who spend more time with their owners are usually happier and better behaved, according to animal experts.
The AKC offers these suggestions:
Train your dog for competitive events.
Every weekend throughout the United States dog events are taking place where pets can earn ribbons, titles and trophies. Competitive events help ensure that your dog is well-behaved, even tempered, physically fit and a joy to live with. And owners get to meet new people with a similar love for dogs.
Put your dog into service.
Dogs love helping others. They are invaluable in providing service to humans - visiting the sick, helping the disabled and locating missing persons. If a dog has the correct temperament, there are many ways dog owners can put their special skills to use in service to their community. Contact the volunteer director at your local hospital to find out how you and your dog can qualify to volunteer or visit a home-bound neighbor.
Let your dog help teach children to read
. There is no better listener than a dog. Many libraries have programs for children to practice their reading skills and gain confidence by reading with dogs. Contact your local library to learn about available reading programs or volunteer to start one with your dog.
Travel with your dog.
Planning vacations and getaways that include your dog will save you boarding fees and will keep your pet from getting lonely while you are having fun in the sun. More hotels are becoming dog friendly.
Get fit with your dog.
The National Academy of Sciences reports that one of every four dogs and cats in the Western World is overweight. Daily walks are a great way for dogs and owners to avoid gaining extra holiday pounds. According to a recent study, dog owners get more exercise walking their pet than someone with a gym membership.
The ASPCA offers these suggestions for New Year's resolutions:
Visit your veterinarian.
If it has been a year or more since your pet has seen a veterinarian, make an appointment now. This will give your veterinarian the chance to notice any developing illnesses and attend to them right away.
Pledge to check your pet's teeth and gums at least once a week.
Your cat or dog may need dental care if it has morning breath all day. Ask your vet to show you how you can prevent dental disease by brushing regularly.
Start an exercise and nutrition program.
Healthy adult dogs need at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise twice a day such as jogging, swimming and playing at a dog park. Cats can get fit with rousing play sessions of chase and fetch with furry toys, small balls or toy mice. Vow to lay off table scraps and consider switching to a well-balanced, high-quality pet food.

Why write these two lists? Because, like the act itself, it's fun. Join us for 10 minutes of celebrating, appreciating, and just telling the truth about what we love and hate about sex.
What We Love About Sex...
It motivates you to keep the fuzz at bay, no matter how long you've been with him. (Oh, right, I really should get a bikini wax. Pluck that weird hair. At least shave my underarms.) And if you should let yourself go completely, it's confirmation that he finds you irresistible even when you are kind of disgusting.

Palermo Apartment Rental Photos and Description
Beautiful Loft apartment on two levels, sleeps up to 4
Fully furnished apartment in the heart of Palermo, a safe and excellent location of Buenos Aires, surrounded by cafés, restaurants, a bakery at the corner downstairs, located near Tango events, parks, a short walk to the rosedal (rose garden) where you'll find free outdoors concerts on Sundays, walk to Zoo and botanical garden, outstanding public transportation (the Palermo metro stop, 22 bus lines, and a train stop are all on Santa Fe Ave, a short two block walk, but far enough not to hear or see any of it). Take a look, I think you may love this place and become a regular.
The Palermo Loft is a comfortable and peaceful place to stay at in the busy city of Buenos Aires. At 80m2 (860 sqft) it is quite spacious, larger than most and newer apartments. It accommodates two persons very comfortably, with a maximum capacity of 4 (two single beds downstairs, one king upstairs). It's also great for guests who want a nice hardwood floor to practice yoga.
- A land line with unlimited local calls, free to you. No need to charge it with a card
- A cell phone which you need to charge to make calls or to call other cell phones
- A nice mattress & king size bed
- WiFi Internet
- Movie projector and 2.1 sound system
- Cable and TV
- US socket-type multiple outlet for your laptop, and other 220V capable devices
- Yoga mat
- My very helpful manager will show you everything about the apartment and get you oriented
- We can arrange to pick you up from the airport
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- Low Allergen Environment
- Singles
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- suitable for elderly or infirm
- wheelchair inaccessible
About Adrian
I love the location of the Loft. I used to go dance Tango in the milongas of Buenos Aires until dawn, have late breakfast at the Café right downstairs from the apartment, walk to the rose garden with maté and medialunas, then go practice some tango, and start over. On vacation of course. I otherwise play an instrument called the bandoneon and focus on Argentine Tango music which is why I have this apartment. Almost as good as the vacation part, but it's actually work. This apartment is my connection to the world of Tango and my place of inspiration.
Why Adrian chose Palermo
As for the apartment itself, I always dreamed of a place with exposed brick walls and hardwood floors. The first time I saw it, I knew this was it. Modern, comfortable and there was something relaxing about it. Each time I arrive, it feels like coming home, grounding, and relaxing after spending a day in the busy city of Buenos Aires. It's also one of the few locations where you can just walk out the door and in one direction take the metro and be anywhere in the city in very little time, and walk in the other direction to escape the city, go jogging or spend time at the botanical garden, the Zoo, the horse race tracks (like Gardel), or the rose garden without having to take a bus, a cab, or a metro. Feels great!
Guestbook comments from the owner
This apartment is everything it appears to be in the pictures and more. I stayed here for 2 months with my best friend and it had plenty of space for both of us. Gustavo, a staff of the building, promptly came to assist us with any problem. I felt very safe here as well. The balcany was pleasant for a drink or just to relax. This apartment has relaxing and comfortable atmosphere, I was very sad to leave it. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone coming to BA for any period of time. It was incredible.

The total building area includes 119,000 s.f.+/- with an attached 142,000 s.f. parking structure.
The design of the building is organized around a layering of strong geometric planes, set in relation to one another to express a composition representing and interactive relationship of the components and functions within. The primary exterior materials proposed for the project include stone, Portland cement plaster, pre-cast concrete, and metal framed storefront and glass.

Book Description:
Aim High proposes using thorium energy to address environmental problems. Mankind's fossil fuel burning releases CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and deadly air pollution. Natural resources are rapidly being depleted by world population growth. Safe, inexpensive energy from the liquid fluoride thorium reactor can stop much global warming and raise prosperity of humanity to adopt US and OECD lifestyles, which include lower, sustainable birth rates. Thorium fuel is transformed to uranium-233 which fissions, producing heat and electric power at a cost less than that from coal power plants--the only way to dissuade developing nations from burning coal. Thorium produces less than 1% of the long-lived radioactive waste of today's nuclear power plants. Existing nuclear power plant waste can be consumed. One ton of plentiful thorium costing $100,000 provides 1 GW-year of electric energy, enough for a city. A 5-year NASA-style shoot-the-moon project can complete technology development of this inexpensive, safe, clean power.
