<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">One of the main reasons people give for moving to a new
country is to make extra income which allows them to save money for such things
as buying a flat or to make extra money to help out their family back home. In

Union or MoneyGram. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Although London's Walkie Talkie has been voted the <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/architecture-design-blog/2015/sep/02/walkie-talkie-london-wins-carbuncle-cup-worst-building-of-year">ugliest building</a> in Britain, which has melted cars and caused great gusts of wind, we still have decided to visit its Sky Garden.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And it did not disappoint us at all. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually, we had a perfect opportunity to admire the views of London.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you would like to visit the Sky Garden, make sure to book free tickets <a href="https://skygardentickets.com/skygardenpublic_ui/events/">here</a> well in advance as they sell out very quickly. Also do not forget to bring an ID with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The 37-storey office building is in the City of London. It is officially called the 20 Fenchurch Street skyscraper but has been nicknamed 'The Walkie-Talkie' because of its distinctive shape.</span><br />

international calls provider is a low price. </span></span></div>

But we've noticed that customers get tricked by one marketing sentence that
sounds something like this: "calls to country x - Yp/min."</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The truth is that usually<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>the number Y does not show the full price<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>of a call.<br />
<br />But to know that before ordering a
service people have to read terms and conditions. And we all hate small letter
texts.<br />
<br />
So what hidden or additional fees we should look for when choosing cheap international
calls provider?<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Connection fees. </b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Minimum call charge. </b></span><br />
<br />
There<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>may<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>be 30 seconds, 1
minute, etc. minimum call charge. So if you finish your call after 10 seconds,
you should know that you will pay more than that.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>
3. Are your calls rounded up? </b></span><br />
<br />
Are you charged by seconds or by minutes? It is a very important question to
find out.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
If you pay by a second, after a 30-second call you will pay for 30
seconds.<br />
<br />
But if your calls are rounded up to the nearest minute, after a phone call that
lasted the same 30 seconds, you will be charged as<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>if<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>you have talked
for 1 minute.<br />
</span></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>
4. Credit/ balance validity period.</b></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<br />
You might get thousands of bundled international minutes. But if your credit
expires after one month or even after three months, you should consider if
there is a point in ordering it. This leads us to the next point.<br />
<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. How many minutes will you really use up?</b></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>
6. Account top-up fee.</b></span><br />
<br />
Usually we think that we top-up our accounts for free but it is not always the
case. For example, we came upon providers which ask you to pay 4.99 EUR for
topping-up your account by 3,5 EUR.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. Minimum top-up amount.</b></span><br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes you have to top-up relatively large
sums of money to get low international rates.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>
8. Access number charge.</b></span><br />
<br />
Cheap international calls<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>may<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>be
provided via access numbers. You have to dial an access number manually (for
example, when using calling cards) or an access number<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>may<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>be automatically
dialed for you (for example, when using international calling apps).<br />
<br />
Cheap international calls provider does not charge you for this part of a call,
but your<br />
mobile network operator might do.<br />
<br />
Usually calls to access numbers are included in your mobile network operator's
inclusive minute bundles. But in some cases your mobile operator might charge
you for calling to premium rate access numbers (usually they are not landline
numbers). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our advice is simple - check your detailed
phone bills and find out if your calls to access number are included or
excluded (charged additionally) from your bundle.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>9. Will you need internet for any part of your call?</b></span><br />
<br />
That's right! Keep in mind, that internet costs as well;)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recently we've got a
couple of questions regarding regular mobile calls which unexpectedly ended up
on a call receiver's Viber app. It happened while making international calls
(also when calling with MOREmins).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Why our clients were
worried about regular mobile calls received with Viber?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all, in some
cases the quality of the sound/voice was really bad because the receiver of the
call did not have good internet connection. To use Viber you need good 3G or
Wi-Fi connection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Secondly, callers had to
pay regular international calling rates to their mobile operators even if calls
were received with Viber.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It turns out that Viber
has a new feature called <b>Viber-In Calls</b>. But MOREmins could not find much information about
it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
At the moment (26/06/2015) this feature is described in apps shortly: “Receive regular incoming calls with Viber, when possible“.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We think that Viber-In Calls
feature is useful when you receive calls while traveling abroad to avoid
roaming charges. Just keep in mind, that to answer your phone calls with Viber
you need good Wi-Fi connection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are not traveling
abroad, in our opinion, it does not make sense to use this feature, because it
doesn‘t cost a thing to answer your phone calls. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And the caller has to pay for
his/her calls in both cases: whether they reach you on Viber or in a regular
way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Apparently Viber-In
Calls feature was turned on automatically to some of Viber's users.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We've found out that you
(and especially your call receiver) can easily turn this feature on or off
using these simple steps:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">These
days subscribers of mobile operators get hundreds of free local minutes. If you
cannot use up all your free local minutes, it is worth to consider converting
them into cheap international ones.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It is
also worth mentioning that MOREmins app works without internet, so you can make

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">But let's
come back to roaming. Sometimes we get more complicated questions regarding it.
One of them is really popular.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Example:</b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> <i>you live in the UK and subscribe to UK mobile operator. Your friend

goes abroad for a short vacation.</i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">If he/she
still uses UK mobile phone abroad, it does not cost you more than usual to give
him/her a call (because you call from UK number to UK number). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">On the other
hand, your friend pays for receiving your call because he/she receives it
when traveling abroad (roaming).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 6pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">For those, who are
wondering what to do in their free time this week, we advise visiting 2015 Sony
World Photography Awards Exhibition at <a href="https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/visual-arts/2015-sony-world-photography-awards-exhibition" target="_blank">Somerset House</a>.<br />
<br />
The exhibition lasts until the 10th of May, so you don't have a lot of time.
And it is worth hurrying up as you will see the works of winning and
shortlisted photographers of the world's largest photography competition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">We hadn't bought the tickets in advance (the entry
is £ 8.50), so we waited in a line for nearly half an hour to get in. But if
you are in a good company, time flies!<br />
<br />
The exhibition is big and interesting, so make sure you have at least a couple
or more hours to admire the photos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>

them are so amazing, that you find it hard to believe that they are not
paintings!</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

But this kind of weather has given us a perfect opportunity to visit some of London's greatest museums which are warm inside, very interesting and the entrance is free.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As we heard so many good opinions about the <a href="http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/london-wall/" target="_blank">Museum of London</a>, we decided that the time to visit it could never be better.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The Museum of London is located just a short walk from St. Paul's and close to the Barbican Centre. There is a little bit of something for everyone: from original artefacts to interactive displays.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It's a perfect place to learn the story of London and its people from prehistoric times to the present day. </span><br />

During the workshop Mr Gilroy outlined seven leadership
skills that are essential for success of your company:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <span style="text-indent: -24px;">Know your NUMBERS.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">2.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: 0px;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0px;">Create a shared VISION.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">3.</span><span style="font-size: 7pt; text-indent: 0px;"> </span><span style="text-indent: 0px;">Get the RIGHT PEOPLE on the bus.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Get your staff ENGAGED.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Make the whole business CUSTOMER-CENTRIC.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>LEAD (don’t manage).</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>Take care of YOURSELF.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="text-indent: 0px;">8.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span>__________________? <span style="font-size: 9pt;">Yes, you guess it right: add one more skill you think is important!</span></span></span></div>

you have to know all the stats and facts about your business extremely well:

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Company’s vision is also very important. Vision
has to be known to the smallest details and shared by all employees, not only a
leader.</div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Thirdly, successful companies put the right
people in the right jobs. Easier said than done, right? MOREmins have found an
interesting <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/amyanderson/2013/02/27/getting-the-right-people-into-the-right-seats-on-the-bus-is-essential-to-a-companys-success/" target="_blank">article</a> by Amy Rees Anderson regarding this topic in Forbes.</div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->Another skill shared by successful business
leaders is getting one’s staff engaged. Mr Gilroy emphasized, that if you want
your employees to be enthusiastic and to do more than they are asked for, you
should know what really motivates them and make allowances for different
generations. He also advised to undertake regular employee engagement surveys.</div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->In addition to this, a business must be entirely
focused on customer. At this point during the workshop a huge correlation
between employee engagement and customer engagement was emphasized.</div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->A leader must also honestly answer one important
question: are you working ON the business or IN the business? And the right
answer is: I am working ON the business because a leader’s job is to delegate tasks
and coach others to succeed. A leader has to make sure that the five points mentioned
above are achieved to the max.</div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->Also you must take care of oneself
professionally and personally. Mr Gilroy mentioned that business leaders are notoriously on a bad diet. But it’s all about balance in life. So your health
should not be forgotten: exercise, relax, have a good night sleep, eat healthily. </div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv7967731976msonormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]-->And finally, what would you add as a skill no
8? MOREmins team had a short discussion about it, but could not reach one
decision. Persistence? Strong belief? Share your opinion with us!</div>

If Londoners have guests, they should consider bringing them to the Shard's Viewing Gallery. The tallest skyscraper in the European Union offers amazing views of London on the floors 68, 69 and 72.<br />
<br />
What is also important, there is no rushing or jostling - you can take as much time as you need to look around London from the top floors of the building. And with the help of specially-designed telescopes you can pick out and get more information about London's landmarks, although the views are not live.<br />
<br />
The tower's observation deck was opened to the public on 1 February 2013.<br />
<br />
On a clear day you can see 40 miles out over London. During our visit the sky was cloudy, but we still enjoyed panoramic views.<br />

We bought adult tickets at the place and paid £29.95 each. But if you book them online, you will pay a little bit <a href="http://www.the-shard.com/viewing-gallery/">less</a>.<br />
<br />
Also, did you know that 95 percent of the materials used in the Shard's construction came from recycled sources? Or that the most exclusive room at The Shard’s Shangri-La hotel (which occupies floors 34 to 52) costs £14,000 a night (that’s £13 a minute)?<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As many other Londoners,
MOREmins rushed to Trafalgar Square where a new statue occupies the Fourth
Plinth.</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
We couldn't wait to see the Gift Horse by German-American artist Hans Haacke
ourselves as we heard so many different opinions about it. And we were
absolutely amazed by the synthesis of art and technology. <br />
<br />
Tied to skeletal sculpture's front leg is an electronic ribbon which displays
the live FTSE 100 ticker of the London Stock Exchange. It really suits the city
that was just recently called the financial capital of the world.<br />
<br />
According to London Evening Standard, Haacke, 78, "suggests connections
between power, money and history - just up the road from Whitehall".<br />
<br />
"It is an invitation to make connections, but I don't want to give
directions about which connections are to be made," Haacke told the
British press.</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square was originally intended to hold an
equestrian statue of William IV, but remained bare due to insufficient funds.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">It led to debates that have been lasting for more than 100 years what to do
with the podium.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">
<br />The Fourth Plinth has been occupied by contemporary art sculptures since 1999.</span><span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />Gift Horse is the 10th artwork on the plinth. It has replaced blue sculpture of
a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahn/Cock">domestic cockerel or rooster</a> by Katharina Fritsch that was unveiled in July
2013.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background: white;">We
didn't search for long to find a strange website advertising an island in the
US where only dogs live<span class="apple-converted-space">. Pet owners are
encouraged to bring their dogs to this place where permanent residence for our four legged friends is free. </span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="background: white; color: #196ad4; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><a href="http://www.thedogisland.com/rates.html" target="_blank">http://www.thedogisland.com/rates.html<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></a></span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
