		<description>Новый способ давления на кандидата на пост Главы г. Химки 
 
 
Новый способ &quot;наказать&quot; тех, кто посмел участвовать в выборной кампании не на стороне действующей власти изобрели правоохранительные органы г.о. Химки. 
Руководствуясь не нормой закона, а чьей-то &quot;волей&quot; сотрудники милиции решили &quot;проверить&quot; все фирмы, внесшие денежные средства в избирательный фонд неудобных кандидатов. 
Начались &quot;проверки&quot; с телефонных звонков - где директор, сколько человек работает на фирме.  После чего последовали &quot;письма счастья&quot; с просьбой предоставить всю бухгалтерскую документацию, учредительные документы фирмы, и  даже, план экспликации БТИ. 
Такие запросы химкинским фирмам рассылает 1 отдел Оперативно-розыскной части № 9 Управления по налоговым преступлениям ГУВД Московской области за подписью начальника подполковника милиции Д.В. Языкова. 
И всё это в то время, когда Президент дал прямое указание правоохранительным органам о прекращении всех незаконных проверок малого и среднего бизнеса. С это целью внесены изменения в Федеральный закон &quot;О милиции&quot; - из статьи 11 этого закона исключены пункты 25 и 35, на основании которых ранее правоохранительные органы имели право проверять финансово-хозяйственную деятельность предприятий. 
Видно, об изменениях действующего законодательства местные правоохранительные органы не уведомлены. И не смотрят телепередачи с выступлениями Президента. 
Может быть, эта публикация подвигнет их к исполнению указаний Президента, а также к изучению и соблюдению действующего законодательства</description>

		<description>just wanted to say we wound up travelling with the cheapest option we found: Good Earth tours (http://www.goodearthtours.com; USD$1130 for a 6day trek including shuttle from nairobi and 4 nights in a hotel in Arusha) and Qatar Airways (SGD$1556 round trip from singapore to nairobi via doha). We highly recommend Good Earth.... Qatar was decent for the price but you MUST confirm your return flight somehow -- we couldn&#039;t get through to the nairobi office and had to fly standby on the way home. All in all a wonderful trip though! Good luck!!</description>

		<description>We&#039;ve been looking into climbing kilimanjaro as well.... the two companies we&#039;re looking at are zara (http://www.zaratravel.com/) and pacwest (http://www.pacwest.com.sg/), the latter mostly because they&#039;re based in singapore and handle flights and transport and such. good luck! this is damn expensive.</description>

		<description>Really? That is so cool! I wonder how they knew that, did they really go and compare all of them? Haha!

Anyway, this phenomenon might help explain why the plants do this:

&quot;The Coriolis Effect is the observed curved path of moving objects relative to the surface of the Earth.

Hurricanes are good examples. They curve to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. What makes the hurricanes move in this way is the Coriolis force.

What happens at the equator? The Coriolis force is too weak to operate on the moving air at the equator. This means that weather phenomena such as hurricanes are not observed at the equator, although they have been observed at 5 degrees above the equator. In fact, the Coriolis force pulls hurricanes away from the equator.&quot;

That means we will never see hurricanes in Singapore, since we are just 1 degree away from the equator. Yay! :D</description>

		<description>We planned our trip using these guys and have to say they were exceptional. Recommend the 7 day trip if you can, gives you a bit more time to acclimatise. I&#039;ve uploaded pics to my flickr account and will shortly be writing detailed entries on the trip.</description>
