			<description><![CDATA[HONG KONG, CHINA and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(eMediaWorld - Jan. 29, 2008) - Harmony Asset Limited (TSX:HAR)(HKEX:0428) announces a profit warning regarding its 2008 fourth quarter financial results.

The Board of Directors of Harmony Asset Limited (the &quot;Company&quot;) wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that the continual global economic and financial turmoil in the second half of 2008 had significant impact on its profitability. Based on a preliminary review of the management accounts, the Company is expected to record further substantial losses in the fourth quarter of 2008, when compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The expected losses were attributable to unrealised loss on fair value changes on financial assets through profit and loss, investment deposits written off and impairment loss on accounts receivable, all of which was a result of a combination of the economic slowdown and uncertainties in the global financial markets.

			<description><![CDATA[LOS ANGELES, CA--(eMediaWorld - December 18, 2008) -  Despite increased awareness and global
attempts at enforcement, the illicit antiquities trade has grown into a
$4-billion market that has left behind a wide swath of economic,

To slow this growth, financial incentives can be created that will promote
legal discovery and conservation while mitigating the effects of looting,
according to a new report from the Milken Institute.

The report, Financial Innovations for Developing Archaeological Discovery
and Conservation, is the result of meeting at the Institute earlier this
year with a diverse group of players in the antiquities trade, including
economists, museum representatives, attorneys, collectors, antiquities
dealers and members of the archaeology community.
