Thursday 22 January 2015 9:06 pm UK car output accelerates BRITISH car manufacturers defied weak demand from abroad to increase production again in 2014, industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said yesterday.Over the 12 months a total of 1.53m cars were manufactured, up 1.2 per cent on the year and the highest figure since 2007.Of those, 332,952 were for the home market – up eight per cent on the year. The majority of 1.2m went to export, down 0.5 per cent.“More than £7bn of investment into UK production facilities has been announced in the past two years, and we are now seeing the effects as new models begin production – with more expected in 2015,” said SMMT’s Mike Hawes.

Miesha Perkins, 36, was arrested Monday after someone called 911 around 5 a.m. saying an 8-year-old had been left at a gas station at Okeechobee Blvd and Drexel Road in unincorporated West Palm Beach, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities received another call around 9 a.m. about a 3-year-old that was left at a Publix at Palm Beach Lakes Blvd in West Palm Beach. Just 15 minutes later, deputies were informed again of a 1-year-old that was left abandoned in the vehicle that Perkins had been seen in from the previous two calls.

North Korea hikes “party contributions” Russia-based workers must pay by 30-55% North Koreans in the border region are becoming more lax about disease control measures after two months of heavy state emphasis on preventing the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Daily NK has learned. Daily NK sources reported on Apr. 3 that North Koreans located on the Sino-North Korean border are feeling less vigilant about disease control procedures given the slowing spread of the virus in China. “The authorities aren’t taking the initiative to ensure people wear masks on the street, unless there are huge groups of people gathering,” a Ryanggang Province-based source told Daily NK. MARKET PRICES STABILIZEWhile the authorities continue to clamp down on smuggling across the Sino-North Korean border, there are signs that the border remains porous given that the supply of goods in local markets have reportedly increased. Market prices are reportedly slowly returning to what they were before the coronavirus pandemic.For example, the price of one kilogram of gasoline was KPW 12,700 in late March, a drop of KPW 500 from before. Rice imported from China is now around KPW 4,000 per kilogram, a drop of KPW 1,000 from the past month. “The prices of mixers and water purifiers have fallen by around KPW 2,000 to 3,000, perhaps in the expectation that the markets will get back to normal soon,” one source said. During the height of disease control efforts, North Korea had allowed markets to open every other day to prevent too many people from gathering in small spaces – now, however, these restrictions have disappeared. “Even just 10 days ago, market managers would say that merchants can only sell goods every other day. Some merchants just ended up selling goods from their home,” one source said. “Now, the merchants are selling at the markets every day.” “Prices in the markets are stabilizing but that doesn’t mean the battle against the virus is over,” one source warned. “Many think the worst has passed, but we still need to worry about [the impact of the virus] on women and old people.” STATE MEDIA CALLS OUT “LAX ATTITUDE”The overall relaxed atmosphere in the border region has been impacted by the fact that the authorities continue to sterilize surfaces and take other disease control measures; moreover, the region has reportedly not been hit with any recent deaths caused by COVID-19. North Korea state media, however, has severely criticized the lax attitude people are taking toward the coronavirus pandemic and the regime’s measures to prevent an outbreak. The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has declared, for example, that the state of emergency in the country needs to be continued “until the epidemic is stamped out across the world.” *Translated by Violet KimPlease direct any comments or questions about this article to [email protected] in Korean TAGScoronaviruscovid-19 SHARE News

James Langton Regulators in British Columbia have handed down market suspensions and financial penalties to a pair of corporate executives that were found to have illegally distributed shares in their company. A hearing panel of the B.C. Securities Commission (BCSC) ordered that Ken Chua, president and CEO of Nevada-based, Oriens Travel and Hotel Management Corp., be banned for six years from trading, serving as a director or engaging in investor relations. Chua was also ordered to disgorge the US$58,500 that the company raised from investors in B.C., and to pay an administrative penalty of $35,000. Keywords Illegal distributionsCompanies British Columbia Securities Commission Oriens’ corporate secretary, Alexander Anderson, was hit with a two year ban and a $15,000 penalty. The sanctions come after the BCSC found earlier this year that they illegally distributed securities in the company, breached a cease trade order (CTO), and made representations to investors in violation of securities laws by failing to alert them to the CTO. According to the decision, BCSC staff sought an eight year ban against both men and monetary penalties of at least $50,000 each. It says that Chua sought a two year ban and a $20,000 penalty; and, Anderson proposed a two-year ban. The panel ordered sanctions that fall between the two sides’ positions, citing the facts of this particular case, and previous BCSC decisions. In particular, it said that a shorter market ban is appropriate for Anderson, as he has demonstrated remorse, and because his role in the distribution was more limited than Chua’s. “We believe he has learned from his mistake, but a two-year market ban is warranted to ensure he takes that time to better understand his duties and responsibilities when engaged in our capital markets,” it says. It also did not order disgorgement against Anderson, saying that he was not personally enriched by the violations. The panel also declined to ban Chua and Anderson from acting as registrants, saying, “That is not appropriate. Their misconduct does not support that prohibition given that none of it had anything to do with conduct as a registrant.” Nevertheless, it also notes that carrying out an illegal distribution represents “serious misconduct”, that this was heightened in this case by the existence of a cease trade order, and because they did not tell investors about the CTO. “The respondents’ conduct damages the reputation and integrity of our securities market. Investors become hesitant to invest in the market if they cannot trust those who sell securities to do so in compliance with securities rules and regulations,” it said in the decision.

macfromlondon/123RF iA Clarington aims for sleeker, cleaner product lineup Tessie Sanci Ferguson, who is currently a senior portfolio manager at the firm and was briefly its CEO earlier this year, is one of the names behind J2 Capital Management Inc., a newly created corporation that’s buying Jemekk Capital Management Inc. and its two funds from Front Street Capital, according to an announcement released Monday. The agreement between Front Street Capital and J2 Capital would see the investment management and portfolio advisory agreements related to Jemekk Total Return Fund LP and Jemekk Long/Short Fund LP transferred to J2 Capital, subject to the newly created firm obtaining registration from the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC). The transaction is expected to close on or prior to Nov. 15. With the sale’s closing, Ferguson will leave Front Street Capital and manage the Jemekk funds through J2 Capital. Ferguson’s role as co-manager of Front Street Tactical Equity Class will then be transferred to Greg Taylor, a senior portfolio manager at Front Street Capital. Rick Ummat, also a portfolio manager at Front Street Capital, is expected to join J2 Capital with the move of the funds. Ferguson initially co-founded Jemekk Capital Management in 2004 and joined Front Street Capital in 2013 when it purchased Jemekk. He was appointed CEO and president of Front Street Capital in February but was replaced by Nevin Markwart in July. In September, Front Street Capital and Toronto-based Aston Hill Financial Inc. announced that they’re linking up to create an independent money management firm with $3.1 billion in assets under management (AUM). The deal is expected to close by yearend and CEO and industry veteran Joe Canavan will lead the expanded firm, which will continue under the Aston Hill name for now. J2 Capital Management is an employee-owned, private investment management firm formed initially to manage two investment pools, Jemekk Long/Short Fund LP and Jemekk Total Return Fund LP. The firm is currently seeking registration with the OSC as investment fund manager, portfolio manager and exempt-market dealer.

Delivering a ock-solid future for Tasmania’s minerals sector Guy Barnett,Minister for ResourcesThe Tasmanian Liberal Government knows that mining and minerals processing is vital for our economy and that’s why we are delivering on our 100-day commitment to extend exploration and drilling grants until 2025.With the Tasmanian economy continuing to recover strongly from COVID-19, the mining and minerals processing sector provides a rock-solid base to further grow exports and support local jobs.Almost 60 mineral exploration projects have now been approved for support under the Government’s Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative (EDGI) with 16 more successful proposals announced today under Round 5 of this important initiative.Tasmanian mining and minerals processing supports more than 5,600 jobs and contributes more than $2 billion a year into the state’s economy through exports alone.Since 2018, the EDGI initiative has provided more than $1.5 million to industry and investors to help identify new greenfield mining opportunities, as well as now supporting exploration of existing mine or mining lease sites.The EDGI program provides up to $50,000 for direct drilling costs and $20,000 for helicopter support, if required, for successful applicants wanting to undertake mineral exploration with a view to opening viable operations.The 16 projects announced under Round 5 will share in approximately $780,000 in funding, with 11 grants supporting greenfield exploration and five re-examining existing sites. These projects will involve more than 12 kilometres of exploration drilling.By opening the program to existing sites we are providing the opportunity to salvage even more valuable minerals like gold, copper, zinc, tin or iron from already developed sites which would have reasonably modest restart costs and lead-in time if the exploration results prove positive.Growing this sector will provide a vital boost for our regional communities, small businesses and families, especially in regions like the North-West Coast and West Coast.All up, our Exploration Drilling Grant Initiative is expected to drive a 60 per cent increase in greenfield drilling to open up sites that may not have previously been economically attractive for exploration.The Tasmanian Liberal Government continues to deliver for the mining and minerals processing sector with applications for Round 6 of the EDGI grants expected to open late this year. /Public Release.
