New classes are being launched to teach UK business people about Indian etiquette after a series of “mini-disasters” involving hapless executives.
Sure that UK business people also may enjoy the “Social experience and lifestyle that celebrates the essence of sensual pleasure” called Amora .

Following his recent meeting with Kadhafi, Democrat senator Joseph Biden, a highly influential member of the Senate’s foreign relations committee, said the Libyan leader ?
“Is the most intelligent man I have ever met.”
But sure ! What a (free) compliment :
With active backing from Saif El Islam, son of Muammer Kadhafi, Abdallah Badri (Morocco’s leading oil official) and prime minister Shukri Ghanem have managed to push through an American takeover of a good chunk of Libya’s oil industry !!!
Out of 15 new blocks awarded in a licensing round, 11 went to American operators, principally to Occidental Petroleum (nine in all, four of them in conjunction with Australia’s Woodside) but also to Amerada Hess Corp (one) and Chevron (one). Others awarded acreage were Petrobras (Brazil), Medco (Indonesia), India Ltd., Verenex Energy Inc (Canada) and Sonatrach (Algeria).
European’s majors like Gaz de France, Total, Repsol, BP and Agip went away empty-handed. Luckier in March when a second round will be staged ?
It’s very strange to see that is there no Italian company, Italy government has very good relationship with Kadhafi from the last year, maybe more interested about resolve emigration problems than get some oil…

Thanks father…
This news from Italy recall the story of Romeo & Juliet, a sad story in this case ’cause Ettore lost his hope of his wife waking from coma and kill himself, for real.
A more romantic and lovely story than this one about a woman killed herself because lost everything betting on the 53 at the Venice wheel (national lottery). A number missing for the last 178 appointments (and what about probability?) and on which players in Rome have already bet 300 million Euro, Milan a little less and Naples 200.
All this money goes directly to the Italian Government that hit jackpot with lucky 53, this will help for the Berlusconi’s “finanziaria“. From 2005 lottery winners are taxed 6% on earned money. It was 3% on 2004…
