No Ski Lift For You, Swiss Government Tells Kim Jong Un
Originally published on Mon August 19, 2013 1:49 pm
A multimillion-dollar deal to provide ski lifts for a resort in North Korea has been cancelled, after Switzerland's government decided the plan violated U.N. sanctions forbidding the export of luxury items to the country.
Those sanctions were strengthened in March, after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un went ahead with nuclear weapons tests. The prohibitions bar the export of technical equipment that could bolster a weapons program, as wall as "luxury goods such as jewelry with pearls and race cars," as the U.N.'s news agency announced earlier this year.
The proposed deal was worth some $7.55 million, according to Swiss news site The Local, which reports that the Swiss company in question was disappointed that the deal was nixed. More from the site:
"The [State Secretariat for Economic Affairs] said the planned luxury ski resort is being built for 'prestige and for propaganda' purposes of Kim's regime.
"According to a spokesman from the secretariat, it was inconceivable to imagine an ordinary North Korean citizen using the resort's facilities."
Many see the ski resort project as part of North Korea's plan to boost tourism in the country. Kim Jong Un recently visited the site of the planned ski resort, where he praised the army for its construction efforts.
"It is thought [Kim Jong Un] learned to ski in Bern, where he attended secondary school without revealing his true identity," reports the BBC, which adds that French and Austrian ski-lift companies have turned down similar deals.
The North Korean leader was in the news last week, when a state news agency reported that he visited a factory making a smartphone, labeled the Arirang. As the AP reported, the claims were met with skepticism by industry analysts, some of whom said the phones had likely been assembled in China.

Lundy's sister constant in supporting him

Mark Lundy's legal team is working to free him from prison to stay with his sister and brother-in-law in Taupo.
In a decision announced in London last night, the Privy Council unanimously decided to allow Lundy's appeal and said he should face re-trial as quickly as possible for the murders of Christine and daughter Amber, 7 in 2000.
Caryl and David Jones have stood by Lundy during his 12 1/2 years in jail and have offered their house as a bail address.
Lundy's lawyers are working on an application.
Lundy released a statement to 3News after the decision: "Thirteen years ago I believed in the truth, the police, and the justice system.
"Today I believe in the truth, and I am very happy the Privy Council could see it."
He and his wife today visited a "pretty happy" and "relaxed" Lundy in Rangipo Prison, where a few tears were shed.
"There's a big weight been taken off his shoulders. He's been quite nervous about the process and I know he's happy."
The Privy Council announced its decision at 9pm yesterday. Lundy's legal team called him before that to break the news.
"They teed up a time and he received a direct call from [lawyer] Malcolm Birdling. It was a private call. He was allowed to be in an isolation room when he took the call and was told. It was embargoed. He could tell family and that was all," Jones said.
"It had to be kept secret because it wasn't allowed to be disclosed until the law lords announced it."
Lundy rang Jones and his wife just after he got the call.
They then settled in to watch the decision online – and there were a few heart flutters as the broadcast missed the live announcement.
But a replay was shown soon after.
"We knew what the decision was, but we still wanted to see it officially. Even though we'd been pre-warned what the decision was, it is not official until such time as the law lords announce it.
"We still watched it with bated breath. We were pretty happy. There were no tears. There were a few tears today with Mark."
The Joneses took Lundy a copy of the Privy Council's 50-page decision to read.
"We won't say we expected it," Jones said of the ruling.
"There was always a chance the decision could have gone the other way but we're really happy now and hopefully people will look at the decision and read it and just look back 12 or 13 years ago and say, OK, something is wrong here. Forget all the emotion and just look at the facts."
Jones acknowledged Lundy had made some bad decisions, saying he's not proud of some of his actions.
Despite that, Jones and Lundy's other small group of dedicated supporters, who organised the Privy Council appeal, hadn't walked away from him.
"It's always been difficult ... when there's such a small group and the system's against you and there's been lots of delays and all sorts of little hiccups."
They know that it could be some time away.
In the meantime, Lundy's status has changed – being a murder-accused he is now a remand prisoner, so will have to move from Rangipo.
Jones didn't know where Lundy would go or when the transfer would happen.
A Corrections spokeswoman said the department could not discuss the movements of individual prisoners.
Ministry of Justice spokesman Matt Torbit said Lundy would be entitled to apply for legal aid for a re-trial. The application would be assessed by the Legal Services Agency.
The ministry said $145,207.95 in legal aid had previously been provided for Lundy's defence at his various court appearances.
Jones got about four hours' sleep last night, having made his way through the written Privy Council decision.
Nothing in the document was unexpected, although he was surprised at the discovery of Dr Heng Teoh's report which raised doubts about brain tissue evidence that had been crucial in linking Lundy to the murder scene.
It was handed to Lundy's legal team just days before the Privy Council hearing in June.
His trial lawyers had not known of its existence, instead accepting that material found on one of Lundy's shirts contained brain tissue.
Neighbours of the Lundy family's Palmerston North home had mixed reactions to the prospect of Mark Lundy being re-tried.
Jeremiah Saua, who was seven at the time and in the same class as Amber Lundy, still lives across the street from the house in which she died in 2000. He said he did not want Mark Lundy to have a chance to come back to Kelvin Grove.
Saua, who lives with his parents in the same house opposite 30 Karamea Cres, said he can't remember Amber, but he remembers the reaction when the killings took place.
"I reckon there will be a lot of anger.
"My parents, they just hope it never happens again. Kids should be able to live their lives."
Earlier Mark Lundy's lawyer, expat New Zealander Malcolm Birdling, said he took on the appeal case after being shown ''some very considerable flaws'' in the evidence presented at his trial.
Birdling said he'd been working on the case since 2010 and must have put in about 1000 hours.
He took it on after meeting with Lundy supporters, including Geoff Levick.
"I realise that [they] had identified some very considerable flaws in the evidence presented at Mr Lundy's trial," Birdling said.
''To boil it down, the reason you become a lawyer is to help people, and here was someone who needed my help."
But family of Lundy's slain wife and daughter are distraught and will struggle to cope with a re-trial, a friend says.
Lundy, 54, is 12 1/2 years into a 20-year minimum jail term for the August 29, 2000, killings, but has always maintained his innocence.
A spokesman for Finlayson's office said the attorney-general would not be commenting on the decision while the case was still before the courts.
A statement from Lundy's backers on the Factual - For Amber and Christine, Truth Uncovered About Lundys - website thanked the Privy Council law lords for recognising the ''severe miscarriage of justice in this wrongful conviction''.
''Mark Lundy has always maintained his innocence and his love for his wife and daughter who someone has callously taken from him. As the police had initially maintained, Mark is an innocent victim in this horrific crime.''
At Lundy's trial, the Crown argued Christine and Amber were killed about 7pm. Christine was found lying in her bed, Amber at her parents' bedroom door.
Cellphone records placed Lundy in the Petone area at 5.38pm and 8.28pm, leaving him less than three hours to drive about 150 kilometres to Palmerston North, kill his wife and daughter, stage a burglary, clean up, run to his car and return south.
Texan pathologist Dr Rodney Miller used a technique known as immunohistochemistry, or IHC, to identify the presence of brain and spinal tissue on one of Lundy's shirts, linking him to the scene.
Pathologist Dr James Pang fixed the time of deaths at about 7pm based on Christine and Amber's stomach contents.
But during the Privy Council appeal hearing Hislop cited expert opinion questioning Miller's and Pang's findings.
Hislop also revealed that in the days before the hearing, the Crown gave him a report from Dr Heng Teoh raising concerns about the condition of the human tissue found on Lundy's shirt. This had not been given to Lundy's trial lawyers.
The Crown also said Lundy tampered with his home computer to make it appear to shut down at 10.52pm. Hislop cited experts who said the computer's files might have appeared out of sync because of a virus.

Full-year underlying profit guidance unchanged; writedown raises questions over company's oil strategy.
Danish oil and shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk moved to shrink its Brazilian petroleum operations on Tuesday, selling its stake in its only producing Brazilian oilfield and saying it will write off $1.7 billion of investments in the country.
The write-off affects two exploration areas, Itaipu and Wahoo, which failed to deliver on oil volume expectations, and the Polvo field, both northeast of Rio de Janeiro in the Campos Basin, Maersk said.
Maersk bought the assets from South Korea's SK Energy Co Ltd for $2.4 billion in 2011. On Tuesday, Brazil's HRT Participacoes em Petroleo SA said it bought Maersk's 40 percent Polvo stake for an undisclosed sum.
If Maersk's assessment of Itaipu and Wahoo is correct, its Brazilian retreat could be followed by its partners in these areas: Britain's BP Plc, U.S.-based Anadarko Petroleum Co and India's IBV Brasil SA, a joint venture between Videocon Industries Ltd and Bharat Petroleum Corp .
"There was significantly less oil than we had expected," Chief Executive Nils Smedegaard Andersen told reporters on a conference call. "In addition, the expectation for the price of oil back in 2011 was more optimistic than today."
The CEO said Maersk's move comes as Brazilian exploration and production costs soar. BP declined to comment, Anadarko and IBV officials could not be reached for comment.
Such costs have helped cool a Brazilian offshore oil boom that began with the 2007 announcement of giant, offshore fields near Rio. Since then stagnant oil production, increased government control and regulatory uncertainty have undermined the value of the country's oil resources and the shares of Brazilian oil companies such as state-run Petroleo Brasileiro SA .
The Campos Basin lies next to the Santos Basin, which holds prolific fields such as Jupiter, Tupi and Libra. These gave rise to a flurry of international interest in Brazilian subsalt oil - reservoirs that lie underneath layers of salt.
The Campos basin had been seen as riskier, however, said Wood Mackenzie's head of Latin America upstream research, Ivan Cima.
"There's always been a big question mark over how good the Campos Basin is going to be," Cima said.
"The Campos Basin has not been as prolific as the Santos, where we recently saw very good results," he said, adding the energy consulting group now had to rework its estimates of the reserves in the two plays.
"As of this morning, our estimates have been thrown out of the window."
The writedown didn't affect the Maersk Group's guidance for an underlying profit of about $4 billion in 2014.
Smedegaard Andersen described Itaipu and Wahoo's appraisal results as "clearly unsatisfactory." Jyske Bank analyst Frans Hoyer questioned the company's longer-term oil ambitions.
"This is more a question of how to assess Maersk's ability to succeed in the oil sector," Hoyer said. "I think that strategy is being questioned today."
Maersk has a target of 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) by 2020. It produced 235,000 bpd last year. The group received an average of 4,219 bpd from its 40 percent of Polvo in May, less than 2 pct of 2013 output.
Group oil production has fallen since 2005 as older North Sea fields decline. Maersk now spends $3-$5 billion a year developing new fields in Qatar, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Britain.
Its shares fell 1.4 percent to 13,420 Danish crowns.

kerry jerusalem snow 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem/The Jerusalem Post)
Torrential rains and heavy snow were not the only forms of precipitation to
strike the Jewish state last week, leaving the country gripped with fear and
trepidation. Adding insult to injury, US Secretary of State John Kerry decided
to pay yet another visit to the region, this time to hurl a wad of New England
spit upon one of Israel's most basic and essential security
needs.According to various press reports, Kerry put forward a proposal
under which Israel would forgo sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and instead
maintain a security presence in the area for 10 to 15 years, one that would
ostensibly be bolstered by various technological gizmos designed to enhance
border defense.Of all the dumb and dangerous designs to emerge from the
depths of the US State Department, Kerry's latest scheme is one of the more
dreadful duds in recent memory.To begin with, take a quick glance at a
map and you will see that the Jordan Valley effectively serves as Israel's
buffer to the east, a line of defense against any potential threat emanating
from over the horizon.Anything less than full Israeli sovereignty and
complete military control over the area would expose the rest of the country and
place it at the mercy of potentially hostile forces or terrorist
groups.The absence of a robust IDF presence in the Jordan Valley would
virtually guarantee an unending wave of arms-smuggling and infiltration into
Israel's heartland, transforming Tel Aviv and the coastal plain into a tempting
and easy target.Indeed, it is difficult to comprehend how Kerry was able
to present his plan to Israel regarding border security with a straight face,
given the fact that the US itself has been unable to safeguard its own southern
border with Mexico.DOES KERRY really expect Israel to bet its future and
existence by relying on surveillance technology? As anyone who once owned shares
of Research in Motion, the maker of Blackberry, knows all too well, today's
hi-tech quickly becomes tomorrow's low-tech.Gadgets might make fine
Christmas gifts, but they are no answer to a country's security
needs.Look at Israel's experience with the Philadelphi Corridor between
the southern end of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula. After the IDF pulled
out of the area in 2005, the corridor became a virtual free-for-all, with Hamas
building dozens of tunnels that were used to smuggle men and munitions with
impunity.There is simply no substitute for a full and hardy Israeli
military presence on the ground, one that is capable of patrolling the Jordan
Valley freely, unencumbered and unrestricted.Yitzhak Rabin understood
this well. Addressing the Knesset on October 5, 1995, just one month before his
assassination, Rabin went out of his way to emphasize the importance of the
Jordan Valley to Israel's security."The security border of the State of
Israel," he said, "will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning
of that term."Last month, at a meeting of the Israeli cabinet on
November 3, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made a similar statement,
declaring that Israel must retain its "security border" in the Jordan Valley in
any final agreement with the Palestinians.And according to various media
reports, even the Jordanian leadership wants the area to remain under Israeli
control, as King Abdullah II is said to fear an influx of Palestinian Arabs into
his kingdom, which already has a large Palestinian majority.Some
observers have suggested that perhaps international forces stationed in the
Jordan Valley could provide a solution, but this too is a
non-starter.History has shown that when the going gets tough,
multinational forces in the Middle East often go soft, failing to perform even
the most minimal of functions, such as UNIFIL in Lebanon which has neither
disarmed Hezbollah nor prevented it from attacking the Jewish
state.Simply put, Israel must be able to protect itself, by itself and
for itself. No ifs, ands or buts.Moreover, the Jordan Valley is home to
more than 10,000 pioneering Israelis who live in over 20 Jewish communities
spread throughout the area. They cannot and must not be uprooted or expelled
from their homes. After all, any "peace" which requires the eviction of Jews
from their homes is neither just nor sustainable.The Jordan Valley is
part of our ancestral homeland, and no human power has the right to try and take
it away. Fortunately, it appears that the Palestinians swiftly and completely
rejected Kerry's proposal, since they refuse to countenance the presence of a
single Jew in territory they wish to control.Hence, for the ninth time
since becoming Secretary of State 10 months ago, John Kerry visited Israel and
was forced to leave empty-handed.With a track record like that, his Sky
Miles account is coming to resemble a Frequent Failure Program, one with no
perks or rewards, but plenty of turbulence. As Syria continues to implode, US
relations with Russia grow sour, an Afghan security pact remains unsigned, and
nuclear North Korea descends still further into irrationality, it seems about
time that Mr. Kerry turn his attention elsewhere and stopped trying to twist
Israel's arm or compel it to capitulate.We know quite well how to handle
our own security, thank you very much, and can do without your imprudent and
irresponsible proposals.So please, Secretary Kerry, do the world and
especially Israel a favor. Take your flights of fantasy, and failure, somewhere

'Monsters University' Tops Japanese Box Office With $20 Million in 9 Days
Following a strong bow last weekend, the Pixar prequel looks set to match the $75 million that "Monsters Inc" grossed in Japan in 2002.
TOKYO -- Monsters University topped the box office rankings for the second consecutive weekend in Japan, pulling in nearly $7.5 million (750 million yen) over the three-day holiday to sail past the $20 million mark (two billion yen) in its first nine days in the country.
Following its $8.5 million debut last weekend, the biggest opening of the year so far, the Pixar film kept local animation favorite Pocket Monsters off the top spot on its home bow. Monsters University took in $4.7 million on the Monday Marine Day holiday alone, from more than 360,000 admissions.

Pokemon the Movie: Extreme Speed Genesect (Gekijōban Pocket Monster Best Wishes! Shinsoku no Genosekuto: Myuutsū Kakuse), the latest in the long-running Pokemon series, took $4.86 million in its first two days.
With summer break yet to start for most schools in Japan, both sets of monsters should have some strong box office weeks ahead. Monsters University looks well positioned to match the $75 million that Monsters Inc grossed in Japan in 2002.
In third place for the weekend was Midsummer Formula (Manatsu no Houteishiki), starring Masaharu Fukuyama, the second spinoff film from Fuji TV's Galileo crime drama series, which has also broken the $20 million barrier after three weeks in theaters.
Fast & Furious 6, released in Japan as Wild Speed -- Euro Mission, was in fourth in its second week of release, completing a clean sweep of the top four slots for Toho's distribution arm.

"There is no confusion recorded by me willingly to the police. The police have mentally and physically harassed me and obtained signed statements.

Knockout Hayden Panettiere parades her trim beach body in purple fringe bikini as she makes big splash with boxer boyfriend
Life is one big stage for Hayden Panettiere - and on Sunday the actress was in full performance mode again as she heated up the beach in a purple fringed bikini.
The Nashville actress, 23, made waves as she frolicked in the surf with boyfriend and rumoured fiance Wladimir Klitschko.
The love-struck couple were pictured flirting up a storm as they wallowed in the sea on the beach in Miami.
Incredible form: Hayden Panettiere emerged from the sea in a stunning purple bikini on Sunday in Miami
And Hayden looked nothing short of a knockout as she emerged from the waters during her relaxing day with boxing star Wladimir, who recently returned from Germany.
Her tiny two-piece showed off her trim figure to perfection - and also drew attention to her cleavage. The actress has been at the centre of speculation recently that she has gone under the knife to increase her bust size.
In a recent interview, Hayden opened up about how performing terrifies her.
Taking a turn: The Nashville actress recycled on of her favourite bikinis, a purple fringed number
In at the deep end: Hayden was joined by her boxer boyfriend Wladimir Klitschko, who she cavorted in the waters with during their relaxing day together
Although she plays country music star
Juliette Barnes in ABC's Nashville - which has just been renewed for a
second season - she admitted she hates singing on stage.
Hayden told New York Magazine:
'Performing live has always terrified me. Stages have always terrified
me. They never used to when I was little.
'But when you grow up in the spotlight, and you're constantly reading things that are awful about you, it sticks with you.'
Making a splash: Muscular Wladimir was seen throwing Hayden around in the waves
The actress attempted a recording
career when she was younger and when asked if she would ever consider
recording her own music again, Hayden said: 'I would need to separate
myself from Juliette Barnes and be seen as Hayden. And that's a very
difficult thing to do sometimes.'
While Hayden's conniving character has
been compared to Taylor Swift, because they are both country singers
with blonde hair, Hayden reached out to Taylor to insist she wasn't
basing Juliette on her.
She said: 'It kept coming out, and I didn't want her to feel like it was per me, or that I was thinking that I was playing her.'

A removably mountable ornament assembly as a temporary or permanent fitting to a wall and/or ceiling is provided. The ornament may be a cornice or skirting board, and a bracket is provided for releasably engaging and mounting the cornice or skirting board to a wall and/or ceiling. The arms of the bracket each terminate in mating portions that releasably engage respective complementary channels in the cornice. The ornament assembly provides an alternative to traditional plaster cornices and may be mounted to cover an existing cornice or moulding.
1. A cornice assembly removably mountable to one or more building panels having an existing cornice, said assembly comprising a cornice and one or more brackets, wherein said brackets each comprise at least one mounting arm having at least one mating portion at a distal end thereof which is adapted to releasably engage a complementary mating portion of said cornice, said mounting arm positionable relative to the existing cornice mounted to said one or more building panels so that said mating portion of said bracket can releasably engage said complementary mating portion of said cornice and thereby facilitate mounting of said cornice over at least part of said existing cornice.
2. The cornice assembly of
3. The cornice assembly of
4. The cornice assembly of
5. The cornice assembly of
6. The cornice assembly of
7. The cornice assembly of
8. At least one building panel comprising the cornice assembly of
9. A method of removably mounting a cornice to at least one building panel covering an existing cornice mounted to the or each said building panel, said method including the steps of:
(i) removably mounting one or more brackets to the or each said building panel, said one or more mounting brackets being positioned relative to said existing cornice so that said one or more brackets allow mounting of said cornice covering said existing cornice;
(ii) releasably engaging complementary mating portions of said cornice with respective mating portions of said one or more brackets to thereby removably mount said cornice to the or each said building panel; and
(ii) covering said existing cornice with said cornice.
THIS INVENTION relates to a removable ornament for a wall and/or ceiling. In particular, this invention relates to a removable cornice and a bracket for mounting the cornice to a wall and/or ceiling that provides an alternative to traditional plaster cornices. More particularly, this invention provides a removable cornice and bracket that may be mounted to cover an existing cornice.
Building panels such as walls and ceilings may be decorated with ornaments such as cornices, covings, picture rails, ceiling roses, skirting boards and timber mouldings that cover unsightly joints or otherwise provide decoration.
These types of ornaments are particularly common in older houses under restoration, or as reproductions that give a new house a traditional appearance.
Ornaments such as cornices are typically made of plaster, which makes them difficult to remove for the purposes of replacement, and difficult to install without the assistance of a tradesman or skilled home handyman.
This problem has been partly addressed in British Patent 2283044 where a cornice is provided that can be installed by way of a right-angle bracket mountable to a wall and/or ceiling, to which is fitted a cornice that fits snugly into flanged ends of the bracket arms. However, the cornice bracket of British Patent 2283044 has a number of deficiencies. Firstly, the cornice when mounted does not completely cover the bracket ends. Secondly, given that adhesive is used to facilitate firm mounting of the cornice to the bracket, the cornice is not readily removable from the bracket. This lack of reusability is compounded by a requirement that frangible locating flanges on the bracket arms must be permanently removed to perfect assembly. Also, this right-angle bracket requires that an existing cornice be removed before the cornice can be mounted.
In Australian Patent 638604, a renovating cornice is provided that is shaped to be superimposed over an existing cornice to thereby remove the need to remove the existing cornice. The renovating cornice is glued or otherwise tightly superimposed over the existing cornice.
The present inventor has realized that prior art cornices cannot be readily removably mounted to a wall or ceiling and, where necessary, without removal of an existing cornice. Furthermore, the prior art has not provided a system whereby ornaments of different sizes, profiles and shapes can be mounted by a simple, re-usable all-purpose bracket that is readily installed by persons other than skilled tradesmen.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a cornice assembly removably mountable to a wall and/or ceiling.
In one aspect, the invention provides a bracket for removably mounting an ornament to a building panel, said bracket comprising at least one mating portion adapted to engage a complementary mating portion of said ornament.
Preferably, said bracket comprises a mounting arm and said mating portion.
In one embodiment, said mating portion is in the form of an open loop adapted to engage complementary mating portions of said ornament.
In another embodiment, said mating portion is in the form of a nub adapted to engage a complementary mating portion of said ornament.
In yet another embodiment, said mating portion is in the form of a step adapted to engage a complementary mating portion of said ornament.
In a particular embodiment, said bracket comprises a first mounting arm terminating in a first said mating portion and a second mounting arm terminating in a second said mating portion, said first and second mounting arms interconnected by an intermediate portion which in use, is extendible diagonally across an existing ornament mounted at a junction between first and second said building panels, such as at a junction between a wall and a ceiling.
In another aspect, the invention provides an ornament removably mountable to one or more building panels, said ornament having at least one complementary mating portion adapted to releasably engage a mating portion of a bracket for removably mounting said ornament to said building panel(s).
In a particular embodiment, said ornament has mating portions in the form of two parallel channels releasably engageable with respective mating portions of at least a first bracket and a second bracket.
In yet another aspect, the invention provides an ornament assembly removably mountable to a building panel, said assembly comprising one or more brackets according to the first-mentioned aspect and one or more ornaments according to the second-mentioned aspect.
The ornament assembly of the invention may be particularly useful as a kit comprising a plurality of said brackets and said one or more ornaments.
In a further aspect, the invention provides one or more building panel having the ornament assembly of the third-mentioned aspect removably mounted thereto.
In one embodiment, the building panels, such as a wall and ceiling, have an existing ornament mounted thereto.
According to this embodiment, said bracket is mountable to said building panels at a position relative to said existing cornice such that said ornament at least partly covers said existing ornament when mounted to said bracket.
In a still further aspect, the invention provides a method of removably mounting an ornament to one or more building panels including the steps of:
In a particular embodiment, said ornament is mounted so as to at least partly cover an existing ornament mounted to said building panel.
As used herein, an ornament may be a cornice, coving, picture rails, ceiling rose, skirting board or timber moulding, although without limitation thereto.
Preferably, said ornament is a cornice or skirting board.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that said ornament assembly may be removably mounted to one or more building panels such as a wall and/or ceiling to preferably decorate a junction or gap formed between said building panels. A particular, optional feature of the invention is that the ornament may be removably mounted to cover an existing ornament mounted to said building panels thereby obviating the need to remove said existing ornament.
Throughout this specification, unless otherwise indicated, "comprise", "comprises" and "comprising" are used inclusively rather than exclusively, so that a stated integer or group of integers may include one or more other non-stated integers or groups of integers.
Referring to
In the embodiment shown in
Brackets 11A and 11B respectively terminate in mating portions in the form of open loops 21A and 21B, distal to respective mounting arms 13A and 13B. Cornice 12 has complementary mating portions in the form of channels 22A and 22B that releasably engage open loops 21A and 21B. In this particular embodiment, loops 21A and 21B respectively engage channels 22A and 22B in a releasable, "male to female" mating relationship.
Removable cornice 12 may be made of metal, such as steel or tinplate, bent to shape to form channels 22A and 22B, although other materials such as aluminium and plastic could be used. A preferred material is steel. Preferred forms of plastic are high impact styrene or rigid PVC.
Suitable materials would also allow for the addition of surface patterning and ornamentation of removable cornice 12 while retaining channels 22A and 22B.

Referring now to
The present invention also contemplates use of mitre blocks that create a neat finish such as at the junctions of cornices 712 as shown in FIG. 8. Although in
Referring now to
The present invention provides a wall or ceiling ornament and mounting bracket therefor that can be readily installed by persons without the need for tradesman-like skills. The cornice of the invention therefore provides a useful alternative to traditional plaster cornices, the latter requiring considerable skill for installation. Ready installation is particularly enhanced given that existing cornices need not be removed, which also has the advantage that the "original" ornamental features of a home need not be destroyed during renovation. Furthermore, no adhesive, contact cement or plaster is required, so that the cornice of the invention can be removably mounted with ease. The visual appeal of the mounted cornice assembly is also superior to the prior art as the mounted cornice effectively obscures the brackets from view.
The ornament of the invention can therefore be removably installed as an original ornament, or to cover and replace an existing ornament.
It will also be appreciated that the mounting brackets of the invention can be readily adapted in terms of shape and dimension according to the ornament to be mounted and, where necessary, the existing ornament to be covered.
It will be appreciated by the skilled person that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail herein, and that a variety of other embodiments may be contemplated which are nevertheless consistent with the broad spirit and scope of the invention.

To cut capital after accumulating losses, then raise capital; Awaits regulatory approval of rights issue for capital hike.
August 8, 2011 8:01 by Reuters
Saudi Arabia's Etihad Atheeb Telecom plans to raise its capital threefold to 1.575 billion riyals ($420 million) through a rights issue after cutting it by more than half to cover accumulated losses, the firm said in statements.
The company, which operates under the brand name GO, was awarded a Saudi fixed line services licence in 2009 and has been facing mounting losses over the past year.
Atheeb, 15 percent-owned by Bahrain Telecommunications Co (Batelco), received regulatory approval in June to cut its capital from 1 billion riyals to 400 million riyals after it accumulated losses equivalent to 95 percent of its capital.
The 60 percent capital reduction will see each 10 shares owned reduced to six, and that will be followed by the capital increase, according to company statements posted on the Saudi bourse website.
Atheeb's shares are halted under market rules for companies whose losses exceed 75 percent of capital.
"The board recommends to increase the capital from 400 million riyals … to 1.575 billion riyals through a rights issue," Atheeb said.
Atheeb did not give a time frame for the issue but said that the board is seeking regulatory approval.
Saudi Fransi Capital, an affiliate of Banque Saudi Fransi , will act as financial adviser and lead arranger for the rights issue (Reporting by Asma Alsharif; Editing by Firouz Sedarat)

Well, Really, Why Not Buy Tupperware from a Drag Queen?
About six years ago, Los Angeles actor Kris Andersson donned a gingham dress, a blue apron, a red wig and size 10 heels and started peddling Tupperware as the character Dixie Longate. His R-rated selling parties evolved into a stage show that was a hit in L.A. and off-Broadway. Before launching a four-year national tour, he brings Dixie's Tupperware Party to the Out of the Loop Festival at Addison's WaterTower Theatre for four performances starting tonight. (And, yes, winter weather be damned, the show must go on.)
The 90-minute show, written with Elizabeth Meriwether, is big on audience interaction. Dixie drags people onstage for games, door prizes and other silliness. She calls everybody "hooker," so don't take it personally. After a curtain call, Dixie heads to the lobby to take orders for what she calls "great plastic crap" for real. Average Tupperware orders per show: $1,400. Dixie's total sales last year: Way, way more than we make.
Yesterday we found Andersson already in character and setting up shop for a run-through on the main stage at WaterTower. And because typing about a drag queen with a Gomer Pyle drawl doesn't do her justice, we brought along our video camera. The footage is after the jump. --Elaine Liner

2500-year-old Horse remains in Bulgaria suggest creatures were buried uprighttags: Bulgaria, horses
Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a Thracian carriage and two horses that appear to have been buried upright.
The chariot and horse skeletons are 2,500-years-old and were discovered in the village of Svestari in north-east Bulgaria.
The two-wheeled carriage and carcasses of the horses were found in a Thracian tomb along with some decorations.
Professor Diana Gergova of the National Archaeology Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, who led the dig, said: 'The find is unique, it is not resembling any other carriage dating from the Thracian era ever uncovered in Bulgaria.'...

Mawatheeq ripe in autumn
Tregoning set to harvest Champion honours with late-maturing four-year-old
Thursday 15 October 2009
No less than the trees, with their decaying leaves and ripening fruit, horses reflect the ambivalence of autumn. Once again, then, the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes on Saturday will measure animals on the cusp of decline against others only now reaching maturity.
In his time, Marcus Tregoning has brought both types to Newmarket. His Derby winner, Sir Percy, proved a miserable disappointment in the race three years ago; but Nayef, who had sat out the rigours of the Derby, ultimately made his Group One breakthrough in the 2001 running. Unmistakably, and auspiciously, their trainer's candidate this time has a good deal more in common with the latter.
For one thing, Mawatheeq's dam is herself very closely related to Nayef. And albeit a year older than Nayef, when he won here, Mawatheeq was likewise given a break after disappointing in the spring. He has impressed in both starts since, notably when emulating Nayef's success in the Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot last month. That was his first start over a mile and a half, but Tregoning feels that dropping back two furlongs will suit him even better.
The trainer was always certain that Nayef would be top-class. Only in meeting Fame And Glory, however, will Tregoning know whether the same will prove true of Mawatheeq. "I think he could be," he said. "In fact, I'm pretty sure he is. Without the setback he had, when he was being broken in, I would say definitely. I remember seeing him as a yearling in Dubai, and thinking him nicest of the lot."
That setback meant the colt did not enter Tregoning's Lambourn stables until he was three. "So he's very lightly raced," he said. "His action wasn't brilliant last year, but this year we've had a much better run with him, he's moving much better and he's a very different horse. There is improvement to come. Obviously it's a big step up, this race, but we think we should do it because he's in very good form, looks an absolute picture – and he's fresh."
Hardly the first adjective that would suggest itself for Fame And Glory, who won his first Classic trial in April. "But I tend not to worry about that with Aidan O'Brien's horses," Tregoning remarked. "I don't know how he does it, but think of High Chaparral. He had a long season, got beaten in the Arc – and then came out and won at the Breeders' Cup. But no, it has to be an advantage. You do sometimes find a few pounds, with a lightly raced horse going into the autumn. We did with Mubtaker, when he ran the race of his life in the Arc. Hopefully, this horse can do the same on Saturday – we think he can. It was really impressive, the way he picked up at Ascot, from last to first. And he's still learning, really."
Mawatheeq, like Nayef, required patient handling – not a problem, demonstrably, for a trainer who was prepared to shut his yard for several weeks when struck by a virus in the spring. "It doesn't always come off, when you stop with them, but you hugely improve the percentages in your favour," he said. "If you keep sending out runners here, there and everywhere, you'll never get to the end of it. But I'm very lucky to have owners like Sheikh Hamdan, who understand racing. If you had people new to the game, you might even find them moving on very quickly."
Now, happily, that is something he can leave to the horses themselves.
Turf account: Chris McGrath
Kazbow (9.00 Wolverhampton) Caught the eye on his return from a long absence at Goodwood, leading smoothly before tiring, in the process earning a modest rating for his handicap debut. A stout pedigree promises considerable improvement now that he steps up in trip.
Next best
Simple Rhythm (5.00 Brighton) Yet another feather in John Ryan's cap, she made it three out of four when charging clear of her rivals at Nottingham the other day and is going to take a lot of beating off a 1lb lower mark.
One to watch
Lady Luachmar (R A Fahey) remains lightly raced for her new stable and her exuberance before tiring at York last weekend implied that she has more to give, either when dropped in trip or learning to settle.
Where the money's going
Newmarket raiders Cima De Triomphe and Kirklees are 6-1 joint-favourites with Coral for the Caulfield Cup on Saturday.

- Bradford Doolittle, ESPN Staff Writer
There is a lot about the Sacramento Kings that we still don't know. That begins, of course, with their chaotic arena and ownership situations. After the best efforts by the NBA, and the city, to keep the team in Sacramento suddenly collapsed, we no longer know where the Kings will be playing long term. The league's most vagabond franchise has already gone from Rochester to Cincinnati to Kansas City-Omaha to just Kansas City to Sacramento. Now they may become the problem of Anaheim, or Seattle or maybe even Kansas City once again.
Not only does the franchise lack a permanent arena, it also is still searching for the right core group of talent to build around. As with all things related to the Kings, nothing is certain. Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins are as talented as any young duo in the league. They have the kind of elite talent you expect when you draft from the kind of slot that comes with big-time losing. Yet they're not providing results for the Kings, who have won 25, 24 and 26 games, respectively, in the past three seasons with Evans on board.
Today's Projection vs. Production looks at the pre- and post-All-Star performances of Sacramento's star-crossed tandem. It seems as though they've improved over the course of the season as they've become more acclimated to playing under Kings coach Keith Smart. But have they improved? What does a closer examination of the numbers reveal?
