Beginning my career in Ostrava I consider to be much easier than in other countries. But maybe it also depends on the fact that here I have my family with me. When a man goes abroad alone, he concentrates mostly on the job and spends a lot of time in the office with colleagues. The people here in Ostrava helped me a lot to feel like home here. To start in Germany is not that easy for foreigners just because Germans are more closed.
Vanessa Nadine Hellwing (Germany)
It's a unique and different experience to live here in Ostrava. Some problems I had to face...it took me one month to learn how to ask for a tram ticket. So if you are planing to settle for longer time, I recommend to take course of Czech language. Make sure you join "Britské Centrum" (The British Liberary) near city centre to get in contact with many English speakers, it is the only place in the city to get some good books and CDs in English.
Christopher McDougall (Great Britain)
I am very satisfied with living and working in this region. To prove this fact, after having been living here for 4 years I recently bought a house half way between Ostrava and the border with Poland. The Beskydy mountains close to Ostrava offer a great environment even if most of the time Ostrava is associated to its heavy industry. Fair enough the heavy industry is around but the city remain very green compares to many others cities of Europe. I have been a cycling racer before moving from France to Ostrava and I love riding the bike on the roads of the Beskydy. Ostrava is a dynamic city in constant development which offers I believe great opportunities.
Philippe Muller (France)
Czech bread and czech transport (at least here in Ostrava) are on my list of "bests". I've lived here for nearly three years and consider moving here one of my best ideas ever. I struggle with the language but people are very helpful when I try to pronounce the unpronouncable. Czech has certainly become my home and my wife and I are very happy here.
Dave Lewis (Great Britain)
The Moravian-Silesian region offers beautiful surroundings such as the Beskydy mountains where Lysa Hora, the biggest mountain in the region is located.
Working in Ostrava has offered me the possibility to see all this wonderful places and also to take part of a region that is in continuous development. Dolni Vitkovice is my favorite part in Ostrava where you can visit the Bolt Tower and have a coffee or beer from the highest point of the city.
Cristina Boccia (USA)
The region of Moravia-Silesia is an area with excellent transport connections and fascinating history. From the city of Ostrava, it is easy to get to Prague in just over 3 hours on the fastest train, while it is also possible to use local transport to travel to a historical village like Stramberk, with its own unique architecture and its famous baked 'ears'. I recommend hiking up the mountain of Radhost – the cradle of Czech culture, with the statue of pagan god Radegast and the church of Saints Cyril and Methodius at the summit.
Ruth Hüneke (Great Britain)

In towns and villages, the municipal authority and council building is generally one of the main centres of community life. Often these buildings also house other institutions, such as the tax office or the local job centre. These offices are a useful source of information not only for local people, but also for visitors in many common situations. Public authorities are normally open to the public on Mondays and Wednesdays. However, many authorities are open from Monday to Friday. If you wish to use the services of a municipal authority office in a city, town or village in the Moravian-Silesian Region, an official listing of these offices can be found here: Municipalities in the Region.
The official language at all public authorities in the Region is Czech. All documents and papers in a foreign language must be submitted to the authorities in their original version, accompanied by an authorized translation into Czech (unless the administration authority specifies that such a translation is not necessary). If you believe that you will not be able to understand everything when communicating with the authorities, you have the right to be assisted by an interpreter listed on the official register of interpreters; however, you have to provide the interpreter at your own expense (except for administrative proceedings in which a duty is imposed on you as the participant – e.g. proceedings relating to a misdemeanour or a minor offence).

Regular scheduled flights serve the international Leoš Janáček Airport (code OSR), the second-largest airport in the Czech Republic. The airport is located in Mošnov, 20 km from the centre of the Region's capital Ostrava. It offers direct flights to Prague, London, and Milan/Bergamo (timetable of scheduled flights).
The Moravian-Silesian Region is working to introduce additional scheduled flights to Amsterdam and Helsinki. In the summer season, both scheduled and charter flights to major tourist destinations are operated from Leoš Janáček Airport Ostrava.
For transport to/from the airport you can go by bus, train, taxi or you can rent a car.
Pre-school education facilities that provide care for infants include day-care centres for children between 1 and 3 years of age and kindergartens attended by children aged 2 to ordinarily 6 years. Education in these facilities is voluntary, except obligatory last school year before attending primary school. The state does not provide pre-school education to the children of foreigners free of charge, so parents have to pay a fee that covers care, food and activities for the children.
The school year begins in September and ends in June; during the summer holidays, the operation of these facilities is usually limited and kindergartens are closed for at least one month. Some kindergartens offer substitute programmes for these times. Parents may register their children with a kindergarten on special registration days, usually held in the spring (between 2 and 16 May) before the relevant school year begins. The specific date is determined by each kindergarten itself, and published on its own website or at its premises.
Fees for pre-schools offering more interesting activities and specializations tend to be higher.
Compulsory school attendance in the Czech Republic starts at the age of six, unless it is postponed, and lasts for nine years. Compulsory school attendance (known as "basic" school) is divided into two levels – the 1st level lasts for 5 years (grades 1 to 5), and the 2nd level lasts four years (grade 6 to 9). Compulsory education (if staying in the Czech Republic over 90 days) at primary or special schools is free of charge for the children of foreigners, as it is for Czech citizens.
EU citizens and third-country nationals can attend primary ("basic") schools, secondary schools, and higher vocational colleges under the same conditions as citizens of the Czech Republic.
The school year starts on 1st September and ends on 31st August of the following calendar year. It is divided into the period of school attendance and the period of school holidays, which take place in July and August. The school year is divided into two terms; pupils receive a school report with grades at the end of each term.
Classes are usually taught in the Czech language; other languages may be used with the permission of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. Czech language preparatory courses are available for EU citizens, third-country nationals and refugee teenagers. When awarding the final grade in Czech Language and Literature, the teacher takes into account the level of language competence achieved by the pupil. The number of schools offering classes taught in foreign languages is growing. These schools are usually private and charge school fees.
There are an increasing number of international schools and pre-schools in the Moravian-Silesian Region, which are privately run. Some of them are:

Opening a bank account in Czech crowns (CZK) or a foreign currency in a local bank is relatively easy to do at any bank. You'll likely find somebody behind the counter or close by who speaks English. The language skills of employees vary from branch to branch. Nevertheless, English is now the second most frequently used language in the country, after Czech. You can obtain information in English about banking services and products, and you can also use toll-free phone lines (starting with the digits 800). In order to open a current account or a foreign-currency account you'll need two forms of identification (your passport and some other form of picture identification – like your driving licence) and a modest account setup fee. Typically, the minimum first deposit is 500 CZK. Some banks require potential clients to hold Czech long-term residency permits at the time of opening an account.
All major banks have their own network of cash machines (ATMs). Most accept standard cards (VISA is the most popular). The bank with the most ATMs is Česká spořitelna. Their ATMs are found in practically every town with a population over 5,000. There will always be an ATM within 10-20 km of you anywhere in the Region. All banks charge a fee for cash withdrawal and some fees can be quite high, especially when you are taking money out of another bank's ATM (typically around CZK 40).
You'll find an ATM location guide in every bank and on the bank's website:
In cases of need, foreign nationals may turn to their embassies/consulates in the Czech Republic. Most embassies and consulates are located in Prague, and some are in Brno. In the Moravian-Silesian Region (in Ostrava) there is only one consulate – for the Republic of Poland. List of foreign diplomatic missions to the Czech Republic.
To be employed in the Czech Republic, no work permit, employee card or blue card is required for citizens of the EU/EEA, Switzerland and their family members (see legal status under the Employment Act), as well as for foreign nationals with a permanent residence permit. See other special cases when no permits are required. Family members of a EU citizen, who are not citizens of the EU themselves, may enter the labour market without the need for any permit if they have obtained a temporary residence permit in form of a residence card for family members of a EU citizen issued by the Ministry of the Interior, or if they can prove that an application for a temporary residence permit for family members of a EU citizen has been submitted.
Foreigners (third country nationals) may be employed in the Czech Republic if they have obtained a work permit and a residence permit, or an employee card or a blue card.
A foreigner may work in the Czech Republic if the foreigner holds a valid work permit and a valid residence visa for the purpose of employment. Foreigners must apply for a work permit in writing (download an application form here) to the relevant regional office of the Public Employment Service, usually prior to entering the Czech Republic. A work permit is issued mainly for short-term employment of up to six months, seasonal work, employment for a limited period for the purpose of increasing skills and qualifications (an internship), or occasional and time-limited employment of persons up to the age of 26 as part of an exchange between schools or as part of international youth programmes.
An employee card issued by the Czech Republic is a long-term residence permit for the purpose of employment in the Czech Republic. The employee card combines a residence permit and a work permit in a single document.
To get an employee card you need an employment contract. How to get an employee card.
The employee card is valid for the period of employment set out in the employment contract, but for a maximum of 2 years.
You are obliged to inform the Ministry of the Interior of the termination of your employment or a change of employer or job position. If your employment is terminated during the validity period of your employee card, you can look for a new job in the central records of vacancies available for employee card holders and you can apply for an approval of a change of employer or job position. This application is submitted to an office of the Department of Asylum and Migration Policy of the Ministry of the Interior.
Important notice: Your employee card will be cancelled if you are unemployed for more than 3 consecutive months (or 1 month if you were employed on the basis of a temporary contract, known in Czech as "Dohoda o pracovní činnosti"). See FAQs.
The blue card is a permit for long-term residence for employment purposes in the Czech Republic under special circumstances. The blue card combines a residence permit and a work permit in one document. How to get a blue card.
To get a blue card you need an employment contract and a university education, or higher specialized education in which your studies lasted for at least 3 years. The blue card is valid for the period of employment set out in the employment contract plus 3 months, but for a maximum of 2 years. See FAQs.
Comprehensive information about employment for foreign citizens is published by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs here.
The road traffic rules in the Czech Republic are similar to those in other European countries. To drive, you need to be over 18 years old with an internationally recognized driving licence. For driving on motorways and dual carriageways (divided highways) designated by a white car symbol on a blue background, the speed limit is 130 km/h. On other roads outside municipalities, the speed limit is 90 km/h. In municipalities (built-up areas) the speed limit is 50 km/h. There is zero tolerance of alcohol (no blood alcohol at all is permitted), and vehicles must have their lights switched on all year round. Certain roads (marked with the symbol of a car and a snowflake) require the use of winter tyres between November 1 and March 31, regardless of the weather. If you are going to travel on the country's motorways, don't forget to get a motorway sticker. This will cost you CZK 1,500 for a one-year sticker, CZK 440 for a one-month sticker, or CZK 310 for a ten-day sticker. A map of roads where these stickers are mandatory can be found here. There is a list of mandatory equipment for all vehicles. If you want to travel with your car in the Czech republic, ensure it is equipped with the following safety equipment: a warning triangle, reflective jacket, first aid kit, spare pair of prescription glasses and complete set of spare bulbs. The penalty point system in the Czech Republic was introduced in July 2006. Based on a system of fixed penalties, Czech drivers and foreigners as well can lose their license for up to a year if they acquire 12 points or more. More information here.
Summary of basic traffic rules in the Czech republic you can see here.
Car parks are marked by a blue sign with a white letter P. Even if you have to pay to use a car park, this does not necessarily mean it is guarded; the operator is not responsible for the contents of the vehicle, so do not leave any documents, money or valuables visible inside your car.

The Moravian-Silesian Region is located in the easternmost part of the Czech Republic, on the border of three countries (the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland), in the heart of Central Europe.
From central Prague the Region is about 300 km as the crow flies; it is only 1 hour from Prague by plane, 3 hours by train and 4 hours by car.
The Moravian-Silesian Region was established on 1st January 2001. The Region's area is 5,427 km² and it covers the territory of 6 former districts (Bruntál, Opava, Nový Jičín, Ostrava, Karviná and Frýdek-Místek).
Climate is moderate. Average temperature in summer is between 16°C and 30°C and between 0°C and -15°C in winter.
The Police of the Czech Republic (specifically, the Immigration Police office responsible for the foreigner's place of residence) will assign an official personal identification number (rodné číslo, meaning "birth number") to a national of the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland or his/her family member who has been granted confirmation of temporary residence in the Czech Republic or has been granted temporary or permanent residence.
A third-country national is assigned a "birth number" by the Police of the Czech Republic (specifically, the Immigration Police office responsible for the foreigner's place of residence) if he/she is residing in the Czech Republic on the basis of a long-stay visa (a visa for a stay over 90 days), if he/she is in possession of a long-term or permanent residence permit, or if he/she has been granted asylum or subsidiary protection in the Czech Republic. No special documents or data are required for the Police to issue the "birth number".
If a foreign national is not a holder of any of the above-listed residence permits, he/she may apply for a "birth number" to the Ministry of the Interior (Administrative Division, Personal Identification Numbers Department – in Czech: Odbor správních činností, Oddělení rodných čísel). The Ministry of the Interior will also issue a "birth number" to a third-country national who has been granted asylum or subsidiary protection in the Czech Republic in accordance with the Asylum Act.
If you want to apply for citizenship of the Czech Republic, read more information here or here.
If a foreign national meets the requirements for participation in the Czech public health insurance system, the person first chooses a health insurance company (see the list below) and registers to be insured with one of them. The health insurance company is required to accept each person who meets the requirements for participation in the public health insurance system – i.e. a person who has permanent residence in the Czech Republic or a person who is an employee of an employer who has their registered address or their permanent residence in the Czech Republic.
If you have an employment contract, your employer is responsible for paying your health insurance and giving you your insurance card soon after the beginning of your employment.
If you work in the Czech Republic on the basis of a trade license ("živnostenské oprávnění", i.e. if you are self-employed), you must pay your health insurance yourself. Health insurance for children of foreigners must be paid by their parents.
There are several types of health insurance; always ensure that you have guaranteed full coverage.
Public health insurance in the Czech Republic is provided via health insurance companies. Each of them has its own numerical identification code and abbreviation:
|Všeobecná zdravotní pojišťovna ČR (VZP ČR)
|Vojenská zdravotní pojišťovna České republiky (VoZP ČR)
|Česká průmyslová zdravotní pojišťovna (ČPZP)
|Oborová zdravotní pojišťovna zaměstnanců bank, pojišťoven a stavebnictví (OZP)
|Zaměstnanecká pojišťovna Škoda (ZPŠ)
|Zdravotní pojišťovna ministerstva vnitra ČR (ZPMV ČR)
|Revírní bratrská pokladna, zdravotní pojišťovna (RBP)
Foreign nationals without permanent residency in the Czech Republic and who are not employed in the Czech Republic cannot participate in the public health insurance system. In most such cases, these individuals will need to arrange for their own private or travel health insurance. Such insurance is different from and independent of the Czech public health insurance system. Such private insurance will be based on a contractual relationship (an insurance policy) entered into between the insured person and the insurance company. Such insurance is not offered by the above-listed Czech health insurance companies, but rather by insurance companies covered by Act No. 277/2009 Sb. on insurance:

Public transport systems operate in Ostrava, Opava, Frýdek-Místek, Havířov, Karviná, Orlová, Třinec, Český Těšín, Bruntál and Krnov. Most of these systems connect to inter-city buses and trains. Ostrava currently has direct rail links to Prague (3 hours), Vienna (3 hours), Bratislava (3 hours), Warsaw (4.5 hours), Budapest (6 hours) and Moscow (27.5 hours). For international rail travellers we recommend the stations in Ostrava-Svinov or Ostrava main station (in Czech "hlavní nádraží"), which offer the best services for passengers.
Search for transport timetables and connections at IDOS timetable site or download a timetable app for your mobile.
for trains - for travelling by train it is necessary to buy a ticket from the ticket office of any railway station before getting on board the train. If travelling from smaller stations, where ticket offices are not always open outside peak times (especially during the night), passengers may buy a ticket from the staff on board the train.
for trolleybuses, buses or trams - you can buy tickets with a surcharge from the driver (from April 1 not anymore in Ostrava), from ticket vending machines (orange boxes), from external vendors (designated by the ticket symbol), you can pay the fare online using the SMS ticket system or with your payment card (only in Ostrava). When you get on board you must validate your ticket immediately after boarding by inserting it into the machine near each door.
A passenger may board the vehicle with a maximum of 3 pieces of luggage. If the luggage exceeds the dimensions 30 x 40 x 60 cm and is not on the list of items that can be carried free of charge, a fare must be paid for such luggage too.
Prices of short-distance tickets in Ostrava: 10 min. ticket = 16 CZK, 30 min. ticket = 20 CZK, 60 min. ticket = 26 CZK, 24 hour ticket = 80 CZK
Basic rules for boarding buses and trolleybuses between 8 pm and 4 am: please board using only the front door. Immediately after boarding, validate your ticket or show the driver your season ticket.

Passengers failing to do so are obliged to pay the fare, plus a fine of up to 1,500 CZK. A validated ticket remains valid for the period indicated on the ticket (corresponding to the ticket type and price). Please report any errors in ticket validation to the driver.
Czech language courses are provided by language schools and language educational centres:
The Czech Post Office provides postal services throughout the Czech Republic, including parcels and cash transfers (both domestically and internationally). Post boxes (which are orange) can be found throughout the Moravian-Silesian Region; they are located in many public places.
Post offices are located in all towns and cities, and also in many villages, and their opening hours are most often Monday – Friday from 8 am until 5 pm. Post offices in larger cities sometimes open until 7 pm, and also on Saturdays.
Post offices may seem confusing to foreigners because they have separate windows for different services. Find the right symbol to avoid unnecessary waiting in line: letters may be sent at windows marked "listovní služby" (meaning "letter services"), parcels are handled at "balíky" ("packages"), and you can buy stamps at the window marked "známky" ("stamps"). It is normally easier just to send a Czech speaker or go with him/her.
More information on services provided by the Czech Post Office can be found on its official website. Besides using your local post office, it is also possible to use the following providers for fast and reliable delivery:
Czech POINT is the name of an IT platform that offers easy public access to various official documents and enables you to communicate with the authorities in some situations (e.g. when submitting certain types of official applications).
Czech POINT workstations are located at local (city and municipal) authorities and at post offices; they are also operated by certain notaries, and it is also possible to use them abroad (at Czech embassies and consulates).
You can get certified printouts (extracts) of data from a number of official information systems such as the Criminal Register, the Land Register, or the Commercial Register. You can also use the Czech POINT network for communicating with the authorities (e.g. when submitting certain types of official applications). An up-to-date list of Czech POINT workstations in the Region is available here.
The Czech POINT system provides a wide range of services. Among the most commonly used are:

In some situations, you may need to use the services of the police. Throughout the Czech Republic there are two types of police force – the National Police (tel.: 158) and the local Municipal Police (tel.: 156).
The National Police (in Czech "Policie České republiky") assist at road accidents, thefts, assaults and other unpleasant situations. The National Police also incorporates the Immigration Police ("Cizinecká policie"), which grants residence permits to foreign nationals and deals with immigration-related issues.
The Municipal Police (in Czech "Městská policie") is responsible for the majority of everyday public order policing in towns and cities (including some traffic policing and all parking enforcement), though it also assists in certain emergency situations.

In cases of need, foreign nationals may turn to their embassies/consulates in the Czech Republic. Most embassies and consulates are located in Prague, and some are in Brno. In the Moravian-Silesian Region (in Ostrava) there is only one consulate – for the Republic of Poland. List of foreign diplomatic missions to the Czech Republic.
Private taxis operate 24 hours a day in the Moravian-Silesian Region. The price per 1 km is usually around 20 CZK. A taxi must be marked with a yellow roof lamp showing the word TAXI and with intermittent black and white stripes on the sides of the car. A price list must be displayed at a visible location inside the vehicle (usually on the dashboard next to the driver). Taxis can either be hired at designated taxi ranks or booked by phone – it is not common to stop a taxi passing on the street. List of taxi services.
In the Region there are several estate agencies which will help you find an apartment to rent or to purchase. For the purchase of an apartment, estate agencies usually do not require a fee (or rather, they require it from the seller). However, when arranging rental, estate agencies demand either a payment in the form of a fixed sum, or the payment of one month's rent (or possibly 2 or 3 times the monthly rent).
Arranging to rent an apartment through an estate agency is usually more expensive than renting direct from the owner. However, there is one advantage – the estate agency will prepare an occupational lease for you (i.e. the contract for the lease). But even in this situation, we recommend that you consult an independent solicitor (lawyer) about this occupational lease.
You can also find an apartment through advertisements, noticeboards and the internet. You can rent an apartment with any type of residence permit. But you can purchase an apartment only if you have a permit for permanent residence or if you have been granted asylum status.

The ODIS card (in Czech "ODISka") is an electronic payment card for use on public transport services within the Moravian-Silesian Region's integrated transport system (known by the abbreviation ODIS). It is a contactless smart card which can be used as a long-term season ticket, or as an "electronic wallet", or as a combination of both. The ODIS card can also be used as a carrier for other products, such as the "ČD Card" (for train transport); for more information on the advantages of using an ODIS card, see here.

The contractual relationship between the owner (or landlord) of an apartment and the tenant. The rights of tenants are protected by the Civil Code. The tenant signs an occupational lease (i.e. a lease contract) with the owner or landlord. The tenant must pay for any necessary minor repairs in the apartment. A rented apartment may be owned by the municipality, or it may be privately owned. Tenants have fewer legal rights than owners/landlords, who may terminate the occupational lease (contract) if the tenant fails to pay the rent, or may also increase the rent. However, owners/landlords are not allowed to terminate the occupational lease without warning and without giving reasons. An occupational lease may be combined with a different type of contract (e.g. a contract of employment). Tenants in apartments owned by their employer enjoy a lower degree of protection than other tenants. In such a case, the termination of employment usually means that the occupational lease is terminated automatically.
The contractual relationship between the tenant of an apartment and another person, known as the sub-tenant. In most cases the owner/landlord of the apartment must also give their consent to the sublease. Sub-tenants do not enjoy the same degree of legal protection as tenants, and the specific conditions of the agreement between the tenant and the sub-tenant are set out in the sublease. The tenant subleases either the entire apartment or part of the apartment to the sub-tenant. Sub-tenants have much fewer rights than tenants; a sublease can be terminated at any time without giving reasons, and if the tenant's lease agreement is terminated, the sublease is also terminated automatically. If a sublease is terminated, the owner/landlord is not legally obliged to find replacement accommodation for the sub-tenant (this right only applies to tenants after the termination of their lease). If the tenant is permanently resident in the apartment, s/he may sublease part of the apartment without the consent of the owner/landlord.
Owners of apartments may use their apartments for their own purposes, or they may lease them to tenants. Ownership of real estate is recorded in the Land Registry ("Katastr nemovitostí"). In a block containing five or more apartments of which at least three are owned by three different owners, the law requires the establishment of an owners' association. If the owner of a block is a legal entity, the apartments are usually leased to tenants. If the owner is a housing cooperative (in Czech "bytové družstvo"), the tenants are the members of the cooperative. (Nowadays it is very rare for a housing cooperative to own all the apartments in a block; it is much more common for some of the apartments to be owned by the cooperative, while others are privately owned.) However, the members of a housing cooperative, although technically they are tenants and not owners, are actually in a very similar legal position to owners, and they enjoy similar rights. For example, the statutes of a housing cooperative guarantee the right of tenancy to its members. The members can also use their voting rights to influence the decisions taken by the cooperative as a whole. For these reasons, membership of a housing cooperative is almost like a form of ownership; housing cooperative members are in a much stronger position than normal tenants with an occupational lease.

Before moving into an apartment, you need to register as a customer of the utility companies. Sorting out issues related to gas and electricity supply can take several days, and in some cases weeks. For this reason it is important to deal with everything well in advance, if possible before you move - or will you have to expect to be without electricity and gas for several days in your new home.
Registration as an electricity customer can be arranged in the customer service centres of regional distributors (they usually cover a particular region, or sometimes several regions - Prague, Central Bohemia, North Moravia, and so on). When registering as a customer, you will pay an administrative fee and agree on how much you will pay per month for electricity. After this, a technician will call round to connect the electricity meter. The waiting time for an electricity connection varies among distributors.
For the registration process you will need the following: a completed application form, the occupational lease (i.e. the lease contract) for your apartment (or a document proving your ownership of the apartment), and (if you are not the owner) a statement of approval from the owner of the apartment, signed by the owner. For a new apartment (or an apartment where the electricity supply has been disconnected for more than 6 months), a technical inspection of the electrical system must be carried out before the meter is connected. For other apartments, the former customer first has to be de-registered. If your type of residence is other than permanent residence or asylum, you will also need a guarantor – i.e. a person who will guarantee to pay any outstanding electricity bills after your departure from the country. The guarantor must be a Czech citizen, and s/he must be personally present when you sign your contract with the electricity company.
Prices of electricity for households are set by the government of the Czech Republic. You can choose from several price bands, which vary depending on the volume of electricity consumed; some are intended only for households where all of the equipment and appliances run on electricity. The staff at the electricity company will advise you. You will make monthly payments (in some cases once every two months), based on your expected consumption. Your meter will be read three times a year to determine your actual consumption, and the company will then send you a bill detailing your consumption, along with (if necessary) a payment slip for you to pay the outstanding balance, and the new level of the monthly payments (for the next 4 months).
If your apartment has gas appliances, you will need to register with the gas company; in each region there is a separate company (e.g. Central Bohemia, etc.). In order to register with the gas company, you will need the occupational lease (i.e. the lease contract) for the apartment, and you will also pay a fee for connection to a gas meter.
Prices of gas for households are set by the government of the Czech Republic. You will make monthly payments based on expected consumption. The meter is usually read once a year, and a bill is then sent to you.
Registration as a water customer only needs to be arranged if you are living in your own house. The registration is arranged at the regional water and sewerage company.
Refuse collection (bins, sacks) also needs to be arranged only by those living in their own house; it is arranged at your local municipal authority. Currently each municipality sets a certain annual amount per person for refuse collection. If you live in an apartment, it depends on the practice in the individual block whether this sum is paid by you or whether it is paid on your behalf by the residents' association. If you live in a rented apartment (or are a member of a housing cooperative – in Czech "bytové družstvo"), payments for water and refuse collection are usually a part of the services supplied and charged for by the landlord or the cooperative.
The Czech Republic currently has four mobile network operators who are fighting hard to win and keep clients. You'll find more information on tariffs and services on the websites of the individual operators:

When calling outside of the Czech Republic, you have to dial 00 or the "+" sign, followed by the code for whichever country you're calling to. The Czech Republic calling code is 420. You'll find a list of international codes here.
Be sure that no matter who your service provider is, you'll get the lowest rates for international calls if you use their net calling service, which means that you call through an IP network. A different prefix is used than the usual "00"; for the company Vodafone, replace "00" with "77", or for O2 replace "00" with "55".
With Telefónica O2 you can use the X-call service (you don't have to register for this service). The X-call service enables you to call for a very low price in evening hours, at night, over the weekend and on national holidays. You can make cheaper calls to selected countries from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, and 24 hours at weekends and on national holidays using the access code 970. Just dial 970, then the international access code (00 followed by the country code), then the number you want to reach.

Vita Woes – #Blaugust Day 23
There are two parts of this post. The first is my obsession with white consoles. I'm not sure why, but when I picked up my PS4, I specifically got the Destiny edition because it was a white console. Then, months later, when I traded in my 360 for an Xbox One, I was determined to have the Master Chief edition because it was white one too. And then I wanted the white Playstation Vita, which is slightly harder to come by because it was a special edition released with Assassin's Creed: Liberation (released in 2012). The white PS Vita sells for exorbatant amounts of money on Amazon and ebay.
I got my white PS Vita, btw, by shopping craigslist regularly and I found some guy selling one for a reasonable price. I don't regret it for a minute.
One of the reasons why I wanted it was for the ability to play the PS4 from bed in the other room. The other was to play slightly better quality games in bed (there's a trend, I'm noticing).
The thing I wasn't anticipating when I picked up a few games for the Vita, was that they were slightly "dumbed down" versions of the full-sized games.
What the hell?!?
I understand that sometimes there's a need to lower the graphics because the device doesn't have the same computing power as the bigger console, but there are games where the content is significantly different than the full version on other consoles. Most specifically are the LEGO games.
I know there are some bad reviews on Borderlands 2 for Vita because the graphics had to be diminished so severely as to make it playable, but even then it lags and has problems playing online, making the port less than desirable. But the LEGO games are simpler than that. The graphics are not intensive, which is nice because it looks and plays the same as it does on the console. But while playing through Harry Potter: Years 5-7, when I would get stuck or was hunting for something for 100% completion, I noticed that any gamefaqs or tutorials did not apply to the Vita version of the game. Upon futher digging I discovered that there were whole sections of the game just removed in the Vita version.
Look, I don't make games so I don't know what it takes to port a game from one version to the next. But I have a hard time believing that leaving in all of the content for a LEGO game is "too hard" or "too difficult" or "too much" for a Vita game. Cause, like, those are basically SD cards.
Why do gaming companies do this? I feel like this would be similar if the PC version of a game was vastly different than the console version (in terms of content). Or if the PS version is different than the Xbox version. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I always understood why the DS/3DS games were a little different, but the Vita?
What're your thoughts on cutting content from the full version of a game for handhelds?
This post is part of the #Blaugust series.

I am trying to Restore Exchange 2007 DB/storage Groups and SQL Server dbs in the folders/file System locations.
Can you please advise if it is a must to install Exchange and SQL Server to perform the Restore job ?
The restore is needed on completely new Server at different location.
Please respond at your earliest.
Thank you.

I would try contacting Groupwise, even if you don't have support anymore, they might have a tool or something they can recommend, or possible sending them the DB of the archive for them to decrypt, even if it's just that portion of one users email you need and send back to you.
Even to reinstall Groupwise not sure it would work without the original install encryption algorithm for that DB.
Jun 26, 2011 at 8:11 UTC
The method for restore depends upon the method used for backup, and actually the Exchange and SQL DB Agent User Guides detail out step by step instructions.
Jun 28, 2011 at 1:23 UTC
I did read both guides and they actually mention that I need exchange services and SQL Services up and running with even matching the Org name for exchange and instance name of SQL. The thing is that I am advised by one of the Vendor Engineer's that Exchange DB can be restored without installing exchange. Just need to confirm this, just want to avoid the disappointement after installation.

Robins reject Maynard bid
Bristol City have rejected an offer from a rival Championship club for striker Nicky Maynard.
Last Updated: 20/06/11 3:43pm
Bristol City have rejected an offer from a rival Championship club for striker Nicky Maynard.
An unnamed club has lodged a bid for the 24-year-old, who is rated as one of the best front men in the division and has been linked with Leicester City.
The former Crewe Alexandra forward has one year remaining on his current contract with the Robins.
But the club have no intention of cashing in on Maynard and have already offered him a new deal in a bid to secure his services beyond the end of the coming season.
No need to sell
"We're not in the business of selling our best players and we would certainly not sell to another Championship club," chairman Colin Sexstone told the club's official website.
"Nicky is an important part of manager Keith Millen's plans and we do not need to sell him, nor do we wish to.
"Nicky has a year to run on his contract. We have already offered him a new contract and remain confident he will sign."
Maynard was signed from Crewe for a club-record fee of £2.25million in July 2008, signing a four-year deal at Ashton Gate.
He has since gone on to score 37 goals in 85 league starts for City, scoring six in 13 games last term after suffering a knee injury in pre-season.

The Windows 7 Phone leaked ROM dump simple contains files and folders from the Mango beta, however it cannot be loaded onto an actual devices. However, that didn't stop WPSauce from drilling down to the interesting bits from the UI string files, and in fact they did discover several interesting bits that has yet to be revealed by Microsoft.
Here's the summary of the revealings:
- Xbox LIVE - Discovered UI references indicating that you'll be able to share your Xbox LIVE profile to Facebook from WP. There were also references to multiplayer gaming, as well as the ability for users to listen to and read their phone's messages on their Xbox 360. What's more, apparently Xbox LIVE Party and Voice Chat is also supported on "Mango" too. Perhaps these might be Xbox LIVE Gold-only features?
- AppChecker - During the WP VIP Event, Derek Snyder, mentioned that WP will be able to automatically determine and find apps from the marketplace to open specific file types (such as those stored on SkyDrive). AppChecker is exactly that -- it's a module which tells you which app is required to open certain types of files. An example string found is "To join the meeting, you need Microsoft Lync Mobile. Install it now from Marketplace?"
- Deeper Facebook Integration - Found UI references indicating that the People Hub will now also allow you to "Like" a social update, and view the number of "Likes" (in addition to the number of comments) for a social update. We've seen that Facebook "Likes" had been added to the Messenger Social feeds on Windows Live Profile and Windows Live Home as part of the recent update, so it makes sense that this is coming to Mango too.
- Lunar Calendar Support - This'll prove to be useful to many Asian users, who in addition to using the Gregorian calendar that we're all used to, also uses the Lunar calendar system. The Calendar hub will be able to show lunar dates with the Mango update.
- "Nudge" support in Windows Live Messenger -- Mango will have Live Messenger built-in to its Messaging hub. Apparently, users can also send "nudges" to other Messenger users.
- Better Connectivity Customisation - Users can now manually set IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, DNS and proxy for LAN connections using Windows Phone Mango.
- Language, Keyboard, and Handwriting Support - This particular build of Mango, supports 22 languages in total, each with its own input method. All supported languages have basically three types of input methods -- full-keyboard, 12 keys, and handwriting. Traditional Chinese has an extra BPMF input support. Three full-keyboard layouts are supported: QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY. The keyboard's touch target sizes can also be customised and resized.

Guantanamo releases picked up as 2013 drew to a close
Credit: The Associated Press
MIAMI - In rapid succession, the U.S. in December sent Guantanamo prisoners home to Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Sudan, then capped the year with a "significant milestone" deal that resettled three long-held Uighur captives in Slovakia.
A year that began with 166 prisoners at Guantanamo, more than 100 of whom would join a hunger strike that captured President Barack Obama's attention, ended with 11 men fewer.

Well took a spin at the lessons and picked a few to listen too using the bookmark feature. However, I cannot seem to find a bulk select feature to remove them all from my bookmarked lessons as studied. I searched help and it mentions a calendar option but I cannot locate a link for that.
The reason I ask this is that I don't want to spend the better part of my time that could be used for studying waiting for page refreshes between each lesson added/removed.
Thanks for any help.

Hunt for the Fallen by Peter Welmerink, Transport Book Two
Shadow Out of the Sky, Book One of the Transitional Delusions Series
Book Synopsis
Journal Entry - Sunday April 5, 2026
It's raining, it's pouring, the undead are roaring…
Amassed at the UCRA east end enclosure, the dead strain the fence line while soldiers keep watchful eyes, the survivors on the opposite side of the rising river about to lose their minds.
It's a crazy time: nonstop precipitation; everyone's up in arms; paranoid city council members with an asshat City Treasurer. Water, water everywhere. Zees dropping into the churning drink. Troops afraid of being stitched up and thrown back into the fray as Zombie Troopers. Tank commanders getting itchy to head out on their own after drug-laden shamblers. Reganshire insurgents trying to extract our west side civvies for some unknown reason, possibly pushing the city into taking heavy-handed action against them.
Then there's some black-haired dead dude staring at me through the fence, grinning like he's off his meds.
And I thought Lettner was a headache.
All this sh*t might give me a heart attack.
Hunt for the Fallen is Transport Book Two
Twisting, it forms into a sleek black mass, peering down upon the town of Woodbury. Four demons called The Reckoning has pulled this shadow, this urban legend from the past, out of an unmarked grave to bring terror across the planet, shoving it toward an apocalypse.
Now it cuts through the air, as if it were opening wounds in flesh, peering down at the first house that it hovers over...

Daniel C. Mulveny, Counsel to the Firm, is a highly-experienced attorney who has represented clients in high-profile cases involving consumer fraud, securities fraud, and intellectual property.
Dan is experienced in handling complex civil litigation and working with international clients. Prior to joining the Firm, Dan was a member of the law firm of Connolly Bove Lodge & Hutz, LLP in their Wilmington, Delaware office.
Launched the first class action brought on behalf of Bank of New York Mellon Corp's (BNY Mellon) Forex (FX) trading clients.
On behalf of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) Pension Fund and a class of similarly situated domestic custodial clients of BNY Mellon, we alleged that BNY Mellon secretly assigned a spread to the FX rates at which it transacted FX transactions on behalf of its clients who participated in the BNY Mellon's automated "Standing Instruction" FX service. BNY Mellon determining this spread by executing its clients' transactions at one rate and then, typically, at the end of the trading day, assigned a rate to its clients which approximated the worst possible rates of the trading day, pocketing the difference as riskless profit. This practice was undertaken by the bank despite BNY Mellon's contractual promises that its Standing Instruction service was designed to provide "best execution," was "free of charge" and provided the "best rates of the day." The case asserted claims for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty on behalf of BNY Mellon's custodial clients and sought to recover the unlawful profits that BNY Mellon earned from its unfair and unlawful FX practices. The case was litigated in collaboration with separate cases brought by state and federal agencies. Kessler Topaz served as lead counsel and Mr. Meltzer was a member of three person executive committee overseeing the private litigation.
After extensive discovery, including more than 100 depositions, over 25 million pages of fact discovery, and the submission of multiple expert reports, Plaintiffs reached a settlement with BNY Mellon of $335 million. Additionally, the settlement was administered with separate recoveries by state and federal agencies which brought the total recovery for BNY Mellon's custodial customers to $504 million. The settlement was finally approved on September 24, 2015. In approving the settlement, Judge Lewis Kaplan praised counsel for a "wonderful job," recognizing that they were "fought tooth and nail at every step of the road." In further recognition of the efforts of counsel, Judge Kaplan noted that "[t]his was an outrageous wrong by the Bank of New York Mellon, and plaintiffs' counsel deserve a world of credit for taking it on, for running the risk, for financing it and doing a great job."
Through his affiliation with the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) and his prior firm work, Dan has spoken worldwide (U.S., Germany, Belgium, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam) regarding U.S. litigation, enforcing intellectual property rights, and recent changes to U.S. patent laws. Some examples are below.
June 2013, AIPLA Chemical Patent Practice Roadshow in Wilmington, DE—Presentation on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Post Grant Review Program.
April 2013, AIPLA Far East Delegation to Hanoi, Vietnam and Bangkok, Thailand—Presentations on U.S. Copyright and Patent Laws.
April 2012, AIPLA Far East Delegation to Taipei, Taiwan and Seoul, South Korea—Presentations on Changes to U.S. Patent Laws in the 2011 "America Invents Act" and Strategies for Universities to Commercialize Inventions.
March 2012, Presentations in Xi'an and Beijing, China regarding changes to U.S. Patent Laws in the 2011 "America Invents Act".
October 2011, Presentations in Darmstadt, Germany and Brussels, Belgium regarding changes to U.S. Patent Laws in the 2011 "America Invents Act".
American Bar Association
American Intellectual Property Law Association
Dan believes that lawyers should help those that cannot help themselves through pro bono work. As part of this, Dan recently tried a pro bono case in Federal Court in the Delaware brought by a former inmate alleging civil rights violations.

It would be great to be able to use the already installed logmein agent for antitheft (Tracking, Locking, Wiping, etc.) If they don't, I would think that would be a good idea. I know it might help me justify the expense of Logmein.

Not that I know of. I use Logmein free and for anti-theft I use Prey (free as well)
Jan 13, 2012 at 2:59 UTC
thanks for the link and info.
Jan 16, 2012 at 9:38 UTC
Not that I know of. I use Logmein free and for anti-theft I use Prey (free as well)
That's what I'm using now. I just think it would be cool to have 1 software package to handle remote access and ant-theft. It would also provide financial justification for more people to get a paid version of Logmein.
Jan 17, 2012 at 9:27 UTC
I second the above about having one provider.
Does anyone they any experience with preyproject? It looks very interesting and is something I have been looking for. Please provide your input.
Jan 20, 2012 at 7:47 UTC
You may want to start your own question regarding Prey. I like it, but I've only used it on a trial basis.

Real estate development group Ariisto Developers has appointed VGC to envision a new corporate identity and communication for the brand.
Preeti Vyas, Chairwoman, VGC, said, "We welcome Ariisto into our vast and illustrious family of brands. In over 15 years of its existence, Ariisto has earned an enviable reputation of being trustworthy, and it is a pleasure to associate with such a brand. Our challenge will be to establish a strong foothold for Ariisto in the real estate market. VGC will strive towards creating holistic and strategic creative solutions for the brand communication across media using a specific set of design methodologies."
Speaking further on this, Hiren Patel, MD, Ariisto, said, "In an industry infested with brand-clutter and a me-too syndrome, it was imperative for us to partner with an agency that thought out-of-the-concrete-box and infused passion, freshness and aggression. More importantly, we needed an agency that could think beyond good looking and simply tactical communication – an agency which could quickly comprehend our business, grasp the values that we stand for, and create a brand by intertwining cutting-edge ideas. We knew that we were seeking an agency with a proven track record with deep rooted fundamentals, a fearless and clear approach and an ability to direct and simultaneously be amicable to approach in spite of proven creative excellence time and again. Given these challenges and parameters, VGC was the best thing to happen in the history of tomorrow's brands' success story – Ariisto."
VGC's holistic design and communications track record spans over 10 years. It operates from its offices in Mumbai and Bangalore.
Ariisto Group was established by Narendra Patel in 1980 and gained a formidable repute predominantly in the TDR business.

Paleo Banana French Toast Muffins
20 Responses
These look yummy! Your childhood vacations sound a lot like mine! My parents always gave me a roll of quarters to use in the holidome.
I'm wishing the screen was scratch and sniff right now!! Omigosh…can't wait to try these for a special treat, thanks for sharing the recipe!
I hope you enjoy them! Between my husband and I, our muffins disappeared within a few days!
They look so good! Would coconut flour work just as well as almond flour here? I can't wait to make myself some treats.
I am not sure, I think sometimes the amount of coconut flour you would need is different than almond flour, they seem to have different consistencies.
These are really good!
I am so glad you liked them!
Oh goodness I was just telling my fiance about those French toast sticks at Shoney's! He didn't even know what Shoney's is…Come on!
These look awesome, but do you have any idea if it would work with an egg substitute, such as chia or flax seeds, or something else? Stupid egg allergy!
Thank you so much!
It sounds like he had a sad childhood. 🙂
I have not tried any egg substitutes, but I did find this article from Paleo Plan re: egg substitutes. It might be worth trying one of these, they do list the "flax egg" as an option. If it works out for you, please let me know and I will make a note of it on the post!
I think there must be a misprint in the topping portion of the recipe. It came out so dry that i crumbled little blobs of it onto the tops of the muffin batter, hoping it would melt in. It didn't (it just sat there). Maybe less cinnamon? more ghee?
However, my house now smells fabulous. The batter itself seemed perfect consistency when I put it into the muffin cups, and it baked into beautiful, moist muffins in only 18 minutes (perhaps my aluminum baking cups shortened the baking time).
I sampled one half as-is (while warm) and they are very yummy and not sweet (which I don't mind). The other half I spread with a little ghee and drizzled a tiny bit of real maple syrup over-very nice.
I think these are going to be a great addition to the (Paleo) Father's Day brunch we have planned for this weekend.
Hmm I think you are right – the cinnamon was way off. Thanks, I updated it in my recipe. It should be more of a liquid consistency that you can drizzle right over the muffins. I hope you enjoy – have any other great Paleo dishes planned for Father's Day?
These look delicious! I just found your site through a muffin round-up and I'm loving all of your grain-free recipes on here. I'm off to follow you on bloglovin before I forget 🙂
Thanks! I have to go check out your site, as well! 🙂
Question… I HATE using muffin liners… Can I just use a non-stick pan and grease with some coconut oil…? Or do you think this would cause epic disaster… Looks DELICIOUS… Just starting a paleo diet and missing bake goods A LOT… Going to dedicate my Sunday to making some treats 🙂
Yes, if you grease it they should come out fine! I just had really old, nonstick pans when I wrote this recipe. I actually have a silicon pan now that I don't even have to grease!
These were delicious. Not too sweet but really tasty. I added an extra banana, just because I had one, and used a little less almond flour, because I was running short. But they were still great. I will definitely make them again.
Do you mean a pinch of coconut oil if used? Sorry if these seems like a dumb question. Didn't really understand if it was a pinch or it would work fine.
Sorry for the confusion – use the same amount of coconut oil as you would ghee. I just meant it would work in place of ghee if you don't have it.
Can you tell me the nutritional info please?
Hi, Bethany! I don't actually calculate the nutritional info. for my recipes, but there are some really good calculators online. I've used the one on caloriecount.com before.

Armenia and Georgia, not perhaps the first couple of destinations people think for for a holiday, however it is without doubt a part of the world you will hear more about over the coming years. This area is fast on the rise and looking to capitalize on its stunning natural beauty.
My trip started in Yerevan, Armenia. We arrived mid afternoon and just 4 hours after taking off from the UAE saw us checking into our central hotel.
After a quick shower and change we headed off to explore the old town. Thankfully for a quick trip anything and everything you would want to see in the city is all close on hand. In the city the main thing to do seems to be to join the locals in the many many many cafes, restaurants and bars from mid afternoon they were full of families, young couples and groups of friends. With temperatures above 35 degrees we were more than happy to settle down in front of the cooling fans and order some local food and drinks sit back and enjoy an afternoon of people watching. Our afternoon soon became the early evening, which soon became the late evening but with the great hospitality on offer the time just flew by as we moved from place to place taking in the atmosphere.
Yerevan Republic Square (Armenia)
Yerevan Opera Park (Armenia)
The next day we picked up our hire car and with a little trepidation headed off to Khor Virap about a 40 minute drive south east of the city centre. With just one wrong turning we found ourselves there with no problems at all, well with the exception of being pulled over by the police, there are plentiful police on the roads in Armenia. However, they just wanted to check we knew where we were going. Most helpful!
Khor Virap (Armenia)
Khor Virap is a beautifully located church along the Turkish boarder with the amazing backdrop of Mount Ararat in Turkey. Despite its name and setting the history is a little darker, King Tiridates III (who reportedly had gone mad) imprisoned and banished Grigor Lusavorich for 13 years in a deep well. Visitors can climb down into the well today and that is where the name comes from Khor (Deep) Virap (Pit).
In the modern day it is a very popular spot for wedding photographs and if you find yourself there on a Saturday afternoon, you will see an endless stream of newly married couples headed there for their photographs.
The next day we were up early and with a long drive ahead, as we set out for the very north of Georgia, We expected a long drive and sure enough that's what we got. In total the drive lasted about 11 hours and I must admit I am not the best prepared traveler and when you realize that you don't have a map you should know you're in trouble. This may well sound horrendous to many however with just one wrong turn and a little trouble navigating through Tbilisi the trip was managed with relative ease. We broke the journey with a couple of sightseeing stops and lunch on the way and were accompanied with the most spectacular scenery which somehow gets better and better as you go so the drive was far from arduous and really very enjoyable.
Haghpat Monastery (Armenia)
Ananuri Fortress (Georgia)
Having arrived late the night before we had taken ourselves to bed to recover form the long drive. However, when we woke the next day and opened the curtains of the hotel room, the view was spectacular. I promise no amount of photos or Google research will do this place justice.
We had checked into the Rooms Hotel, which is the first of a kind in Georgia, a top class hotel in tremendous surroundings with great hiking, horse riding, quad biking and skiing (seasonal) all on the doorstep. It is also an incredibly welcoming hotel. I would challenge anyone in the world to not find this place breathtaking, and certainly that 11 hour drive was well worth it.
After spending two nights in a countryside paradise. We headed off again in the trusty Lada 4x4 hire car passing more stunning scenery and churches, this time on the Russian boarder. This is also the wine district of Georgia. The Georgians claim to have invented wine with approx 50% of the grapes in use around the world today originating in Georgia. When we arrived at our chateaux we were given a wine tour of the vineyard where the grapes are fermented in underground in clay pots and of course it would be rude not to try a few of the varieties that evening.
We were up the next day on the final leg of the trip, heading back to Tbilisi, but this time not to just drive through. There were a couple of stops on the way. The first stop was a town perched on the top of a hill called Sighnaghi. On more than one occasion we thought we had run out of roads as tarmac became gravel, which then became dirt track. We found the journey worth it as we arrived into Sighnaghi, a simply beautiful town, that has been incredibly well cared for over the years and is just a lovely place to spend some time, be it for lunch or overnight if you had the time. After a bite to eat we were off again and this time to visit arguable Georgia's most famous sight the David Gareja Monastery. Built in the 6th Century and 40 kms of the main road the drive alone is somewhat strange and breathtaking, there is nothing around for miles and the landscape changes drastically sometimes looking almost lunar, it is rather strange yet exciting. . The Monastery is famed as apart from being in the middle of nowhere, it is all carved into the rocks . After some time exploring the monastery we embarked on the final legof our journey. We had drove our faithful Lada (having cover over 1000kms) and checked into our final hotel in the centre of Tbilisi. A wonderful city, a little larger than Yerevan with a little more to see but not forgoing the cafe culture you won't go far before seeing a cafe or ice cream shop. As ever there are churches everywhere, quirky markets selling ex Soviet Memorabilia plus a great cable car ride, and a city fortress to explore.
Book Market (Georgia)
In Tbilisi you can just feel the city has a real buzz to it which makes anytime you spend here fun and as I first started with, this city optimizes the growth of this part of the world.
The trip was fantastic and although perhaps not for everyone, there are no beaches, it offers so much so close to the UAE. Mountain scenery that will rival New Zealand's, a cafe culture to match that of Italy, a wine region to trouble the South African vineyards plus a book market that felt like I was walking down the River Seine in Paris. So maybe in the future if you only have a short break, or the budget can not stretch to that of a long haul trip then the Caucasus Region of Armenia and Georgia may well be a place to consider.

Music Broadcast —- the MittalSTAR alliance -— will put India's first privately owned FM radio station 'Radio 1', on air in Bangalore in June. The Bangalore FM launch will be followed by Lucknow soon afterwards. Meanwhile, Music Broadcast has sought permission from the Union information and broadcasting ministry to set up an interim broadcasting tower to begin FM broadcasting operations from Delhi and Mumbai too.
STAR has pumped in Rs 13 crore in setting up the Bangalore FM broadcasting facility for Music Broadcast. While the radio station's licence is held by the P K Mittal-promoted company, the franchisee for setting up the studio and other broadcasting facilities, providing the music content and selling air time is held by Digiwave, a 50:50 joint venture between STAR and the Ispat group.
Meanwhile, the STAR-Mittal venture is currently trying to iron out its dispute with the federation of music companies over the royalty to be charged by the latter for the music tracks that go on air. The music group is insisting on Rs-750 per hour, but Music Broadcast has pointed out that the government-owned All India Radio is charged just Rs 250 an hour and that too for all-India rights. The Bangalore FM station covers a radius of just around 60 km, Music Broadcast sources said.
Cosumer surveys conducted by Music Broadcast indicate that Hindi Bollywood film hits are in great demand by Bangalore FM listeners, and would be the staple menu for the Radio channel. State-of-the-art imported studio equipment is already in place and the station's signal is under test. The music radio station will kick off with a team of six young disc jockeys who are under training.
Music Broadcast has six licences for FM radio stations. These include Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Patna and Nagpur.

text: QF need to separate the itineraries (which you can't do online) so they can make a change to one of the them. I presume the phone change fee is $74 as opposed to $45 if you did it yourself online...them's the breaks, I'm afraid. Sometimes I book two itineraries separately if there is an even a remote chance that one of the two has to cancel / change the itinerary.

I have more than 5 forms in my free accountAsked by ELshba7 on November 23, 2016 at 12:50 AM
I initially had my previous web developer set up my JotForms. When I joined, you all actually had implemented a max form limit, which I have no problem with as you have to get revenue from this platform.
I have 3 JotForms on my website www.tbsportsentertainment.com:
- Ticket Purchase Programs
- Lyft / Uber Travel Requests
- Prime / Platinum Registration
But, there are other forms within my account. Do I need those or can I use to add additional JotForms I need to create? I didn't know if there was any technology within those not used in order for the others to keep working.
JotForm Support
Hello George,
I have checked your account. Despite having a FREE plan, you have 15 active forms in your account instead of 5 as you can see the screenshot below:
However, as you said you are an old JotForm user. We will still grandfather previous forms from current Free accounts, so you will still have access to all the forms on your account. You can keep receiving submissions and edit the 70+ forms on your account.
You only need to upgrade to a higher plan if you want to create more forms, clone, or restore deleted forms. For more information about this, please check our article here: Upcoming Changes to JotForm Starter & Guest Plan Users: September 19, 2016.
My recommendation would be to delete the unnecessary active forms from your account as you have said you need only 3 active forms.
If you need more clarification, let us know.
I just wanted to know if those are not in use, were they necessary, code wise, as I would set up those with new forms.
But, I am definitely going to upgrade within the money, based on my current plans, which is not an option :)
Thanks again,
JotForm Support
I have checked your account and see that there are 15 forms in it. Since the free accounts are limited to create only 5 forms, unfortunately, you cannot create any new forms in this account. Since your account is grandfathered, the current forms can be managed normally until you delete them. If you delete the forms in the account, you are still restricted to create new forms if the total forms are more than 5.
You may upgrade your account to the appropriate plan that allows creating the number of forms. You can compare the subscription plan from our pricing page.
Hope this information helps!
