| IFC Recommendations for Simplifying Business Registration in Belarus ...
The Belarusian government has introduced a decree to simplify the registration and liquidation of companies. The document was developed by the Ministry of Justice, in cooperation with IFC, a member of the World Bank Group. It introduces the declarative principle of registration and cuts twofold the minimum charter capital requirements for new legal entities. Under the new decree, registration authorities are not required to verify documents that are submitted for state registration by a start-up, but the applicant is liable for any inappropriate information. Also, except for those seeking licensing, applicants are not required to disclose their business lines in founding documents. The decree incorporates most of IFCs proposals on simplifying registration. The proposed changes are truly revolutionary for Belarus.

Slay That Green Dragon
Here on OpEdNEws, I haven't seen one single article supporting Hillary. It's not because we haven't accepted them. Matter of fact we welcome cogent, well written articles supporting ANY candidate, since we trust our readers to respond and balance out the perspective in the comments section. It appears that the concensus of the readers and writers on this site, most of whom were Kucinich, Edwards or Paul supporters, are, except for the Paul supporters, now leaning towards Obama. .
Latest updates on Techwood Drive closing
Beginning Saturday and extending through the summer of 2009, Techwood Drive, a north-south access road beside the Downtown Connector, is closed from 16th Street to 10th Street. With the closure, the southbound ramps from I-75 and I-85 to 14th and 10th streets also are shut off. For drivers heading south from I-85, the beginning of the ramp will still be open to exit to 17th Street. From I-75, DOT says southbound drivers technically still can exit onto 16th Street, but the small streets could be such a mess they should forget about it, and exit at Northside Drive. The worst of the traffic is expected Monday, when most people return to work. But the impact has been felt already. 5:45 p.m.: A little slowdown, some confusion, DOT says Crystal Paulk-Buchanan, spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Transportation, said the first day of construction and street closings went smoothly.
PEIE, Tabreed Oman sign agreement
MUSCAT — The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE) signed an agreement with Tabreed Oman to provide the first of its kind district cooling system to Sohar Industrial Estate.
This landmark agreement was signed by Maqbool bin Ali Sultan, minister of commerce and industry and chairman of PEIE; and P. Mohammed Ali, chairman, Tabreed Oman.
Over the past few years, the district-cooling technology has become widely recognised as an important development in helping conserve energy and has been proven to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in many cases.
Indeed, energy experts suggest that 75 per cent of the energy used across the Gulf is for cooling purposes. By using district cooling, PEIE expects to reduce the amount of electrical energy used by its tenants by up to 50 per cent.
Johns’ retrospective visits the Midwest
This grandiose collection boasts over 100 prints that display the culmination of Johns' talent, innovation and experience in a chronological walk through his artistic career. A palpable trademark of Johns' style is the repetition of motifs and symbols throughout his works. “Two Flags" and “Flags II" demonstrate his fascination with re-using subjects. Each print contains the American flag portrayed in a different style or color—a subject that Johns used in more then 50 drawings, 30 paintings and 14 prints. Johns reworked and transformed his subjects and motifs throughout by changing the medium, technique, color or scale to alter the form and meaning. Printmaking is a technique that allows for easy alteration and reworking of a subject matter, a main selling point for Johns when first considering printmaking.
