title: Nürnberger Versicherung

text:
Nürnberger Versicherung (proper spelling: NÜRNBERGER) is a German insurance company headquartered in Nuremberg. The group operates in the life, private health, property/casualty and auto insurance segments as well as in the financial services sector, primarily in Germany and Austria.

The group's parent company, Nürnberger Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft, is listed on the stock exchange and trades in the over-the-counter segment  (formerly Entry Standard).

History
The roots of today's insurance group lie in the Nürnberger Lebensversicherungs-Bank founded on February 16, 1884, by Lothar Freiherr von Faber, Friedrich von Grundherr, Johannes Falk, Johan Georg Kugler, Moritz Poehlmann, Samuel Bloch and Karl Wunder. On September 28 of the same year, the Royal Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior granted permission to do business; in December 1884, the first life insurance certificate was issued.

Corporate history
The Nürnberger Lebensversicherungs-Bank was founded in 1884. It launched the first private accidental death and dismemberment insurance policy in Bavaria in 1885. In 1906, Nürnberger received approval to include liability insurance. As a recognized self-help institution for the public service, it set up the Civil Servants' Pension Allowance Insurance in 1908.

In 1952, the company founded the subsidiary for non-life insurance, Nürnberger Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG, and six years later (1958) created the slogan "Protection and security under the sign of the castle" (Schutz und Sicherheit im Zeichen der Burg). Nürnberger launched the unit-linked life insurance product in 1971. In Salzburg, it founded Nürnberger Versicherung AG Österreich in 1981. Garanta Versicherungs-AG has been offering special products as a professional insurer for the motor vehicle trade, its companies, their employees and customers since 1985. Nürnberger Lebensversicherung AG was transformed into a holding company, Nürnberger Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft, in 1990. The entire life insurance portfolio was transferred to a newly founded subsidiary, which took over the name Nürnberger Lebensversicherung AG. The newly founded Nürnberger Krankenversicherung AG began business operations in 1991. Through participation in Fürst Fugger Privatbank KG, Augsburg, the insurer entered asset management for third parties in 1999.

The Nürnberger Pensionskasse AG commenced business operations in 2003 and the Nürnberger Pensionsfonds AG in 2005. In 2007, the Nürnberger Sofortservice AG was founded. In 2009, the company celebrated its 125th anniversary. The Nürnberger Versicherungsgruppe renamed itself Nürnberger Versicherung in 2016.

Consortia Versicherungs-Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH
Consortia Versicherungs-Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH is a holding company based in Nuremberg, Germany, which holds a 25.00% stake in Nürnberger Beteiligungs-Aktiengesellschaft. This shareholding has a value of approximately €194 million (as of the end of 2018). The company is 33.70% owned by Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft, 30.00% by Techno-Einkauf, 26.30% by Nürnberger Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH, and 10.00% by Versorgungskasse der Nürnberger Versicherungsgruppe e. V..

Currently, Hans-Ulrich Geck and Dietmar Scheck are managing directors.

Key figures
In fiscal 2019, the Group employed an annual average of 4,487 people in Germany, of which 3,800 were office staff and 687 field staff, as well as 128 trainees. In addition, more than 12,200 full-time and part-time intermediaries were active in the five sales channels "Exclusivity," "Brokers, multiple agencies and financial sales," "Car dealership," "Family protection" and "Direct." Annual sales amounted to EUR 4.6 billion. Life insurance accounted for around 2.5 billion euros of the premium income, non-life insurance for 809 million euros and health insurance for 228 million euros. In total, there were around 6.0 million insurance contracts.

Solidarity with Nuremberg

Since 1928, the logo has represented the silhouette of Nuremberg's Nuremberg Castle. Through this and through the motto "Protection and security under the sign of the castle", which has been known since 1958, the company has found an unmistakable trademark. In December 2016, Nuremberg renewed its brand identity by stylizing the logo and sharpening its slogan ("Protection and security. Since 1884.")("Schutz und Sicherheit. Seit 1884."). The group's headquarters are still located in the city, and in 2000 it moved into a new general headquarters. The so-called Business Tower, located on the eastern ring road, is Bavaria's second-highest office building at 135 meters and 34 stories.

Sponsoring
The company says it is involved as a sponsor in the areas of culture, science, social affairs, and sports.

In 2005, for example, it initiated the International Gluck Opera Festival at the Staatsoper Nürnberg, which has been held every two years since 2008 and of which it was the main sponsor until 2019. With the 2019/2020 season, it has become a premium partner of the Staatstheater Nürnberg. It sponsors the Blaue Nacht cultural event in Nuremberg and has co-financed the Jean Paul walking trail. The company is also the main sponsor of the Christmas City of Nuremberg with its world-famous Christkindlesmarkt.

Nuremberg also sponsors educational projects such as the Bavarian State Mathematics Competition, the Long Night of the Sciences (until 2015), and the Institute of Insurance Economics at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg.

In 1992, it launched the Nürnberger Burg-Pokal, a tournament series for young dressage horses, and runs projects to promote young talent in equestrian sports in cooperation with numerous state associations. In tennis, the company was the main sponsor of the WTA women's tennis tournament WTA Austrian Open in Austria until 2016, and since 2013 the naming sponsor of the Nuremberg Cup at the home tournament on the grounds of Tennis-Club 1. FC Nürnberg. In May 2019, Nürnberger ended its sponsorship of the Nürnberger Insurance Cup and in December 2019, it also withdrew from grassroots tennis. From 1999 to 2009, Nürnberger was the main sponsor of Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung, the most successful women's cycling team in the world at the time. Projects in the area of social sponsorship include therapeutic riding for Lebenshilfe Nürnberger Land e. V., Bibliothek im Koffer and Bündnis für Familie. As part of the development and implementation of its sustainability strategy, Nürnberger launched its partnership with Bundesverband Kinderhospiz e. V. in February 2020.

In addition, since February 2005, Nürnberger has been the name sponsor of the ice sports and events arena Arena Nürnberger Versicherung.

Furthermore, it has been the new main and jersey sponsor of 1. FC Nürnberg since July 2016. The partnership was initially for three years, and the economic terms were not disclosed. In March 2019, Nürnberger extended its sponsorship by a further three years until 2022. Since 2020, it has also been sponsoring grassroots soccer.

title: Radiocarbon dating considerations

text:
The variation in the / ratio in different parts of the carbon exchange reservoir means that a straightforward calculation of the age of a sample based on the amount of  it contains will often give an incorrect result. There are several other possible sources of error that need to be considered.  The errors are of four general types:
 Variations in the / ratio in the atmosphere, both geographically and over time
 Isotopic fractionation
 Variations in the / ratio in different parts of the reservoir
 Contamination

Atmospheric variation

In the early years of using the technique, it was understood that it depended on the atmospheric / ratio having remained the same over the preceding few thousand years. To verify the accuracy of the method, several artefacts that were datable by other techniques were tested; the results of the testing were in reasonable agreement with the true ages of the objects. However, in 1958, Hessel de Vries was able to demonstrate that the / ratio had changed over time by testing wood samples of known ages and showing there was a significant deviation from the expected ratio. This discrepancy, often called the de Vries effect, was resolved by the study of tree rings.  Comparison of overlapping series of tree rings allowed the construction of a continuous sequence of tree-ring data that spanned 8,000 years.  (Since that time the tree-ring data series has been extended to 13,900 years.)  Carbon-dating the wood from the tree rings themselves provided the check needed on the atmospheric / ratio: with a sample of known date, and a measurement of the value of N (the number of atoms of  remaining in the sample), the carbon-dating equation allows the calculation of N0 – the number of atoms of  in the sample at the time the tree ring was formed – and hence the / ratio in the atmosphere at that time. Armed with the results of carbon-dating the tree rings, it became possible to construct calibration curves designed to correct the errors caused by the variation over time in the / ratio. These curves are described in more detail below.

There are three main reasons for these variations in the historical / ratio: fluctuations in the rate at which  is created, changes caused by glaciation, and changes caused by human activity.

Variations in  production
Two different trends can be seen in the tree ring series. First, there is a long-term oscillation with a period of about 9,000 years, which causes radiocarbon dates to be older than true dates for the last 2,000 years and too young before that. The known fluctuations in the strength of the Earth's magnetic field match up quite well with this oscillation: cosmic rays are deflected by magnetic fields, so when there is a weaker magnetic field, more  is produced, leading to a younger apparent age for samples from those periods. Conversely, a stronger magnetic field leads to lower  production and an older apparent age. A secondary oscillation is thought to be caused by variations in sunspot activity, which has two separate periods: a longer-term, 200-year oscillation, and a shorter 11-year cycle. Sunspots cause changes in the solar system's magnetic field and corresponding changes to the cosmic ray flux, and hence to the production of .

There are two kinds of geophysical event which can affect  production: geomagnetic reversals and polarity excursions. In a geomagnetic reversal, the Earth's geomagnetic field weakens and stays weak for thousands of years during the transition to the opposite magnetic polarity and then regains strength as the reversal completes. A polarity excursion, which can be either global or local, is a shorter-lived version of a geomagnetic reversal. A local excursion would not significantly affect 14C production. During either a geomagnetic reversal or a global polarity excursion,  production increases during the period when the geomagnetic field is weak. It is fairly certain, though, that in the last 50,000 years there have been no geomagnetic reversals or global polarity excursions.

Since the earth's magnetic field varies with latitude, the rate of  production changes with latitude, too, but atmospheric mixing is rapid enough that these variations amount to less than 0.5% of the global  concentration. This is close to the limit of detectability in most years, but the effect can be seen clearly in tree rings from years such as 1963, when  from nuclear testing rose sharply through the year. The latitudinal variation in  was much larger than normal that year, and tree rings from different latitudes show corresponding variations in their  content.

 can also be produced at ground level, primarily by cosmic rays that penetrate the atmosphere as far as the earth's surface, but also by spontaneous fission of naturally occurring uranium. These sources of neutrons only produce  at a rate of 1 x 10−4 atoms per gram per second, which is not enough to have a significant effect on dating. At higher altitudes, the neutron flux can be substantially higher, and in addition, trees at higher altitude are more likely to be struck by lightning, which produces neutrons. However, experiments in which wood samples have been irradiated with neutrons indicate that the effect on  content is minor, though for very old trees (such as some bristlecone pines) that grow at altitude some effect can be seen.

Effect of climatic cycles
Because the solubility of  in water increases with lower temperatures, glacial periods would have led to the faster absorption of atmospheric  by the oceans. In addition, any carbon stored in the glaciers would be depleted in  over the life of the glacier; when the glacier melted as the climate warmed, the depleted carbon would be released, reducing the global / ratio. The changes in climate would also cause changes in the biosphere, with warmer periods leading to more plant and animal life. The effect of these factors on radiocarbon dating is not known.

Effects of human activity

Coal and oil began to be burned in large quantities during the 1800s. Both coal and oil are sufficiently old that they contain little detectable  and, as a result, the  released substantially diluted the atmospheric / ratio. Dating an object from the early 20th century hence gives an apparent date older than the true date.  For the same reason,  concentrations in the neighbourhood of large cities are lower than the atmospheric average. This fossil fuel effect (also known as the Suess effect, after Hans Suess, who first reported it in 1955) would only amount to a reduction of 0.2% in  activity if the additional carbon from fossil fuels were distributed throughout the carbon exchange reservoir, but because of the long delay in mixing with the deep ocean, the actual effect is a 3% reduction.

A much larger effect comes from above-ground nuclear testing, which released large numbers of neutrons and created . From about 1950 until 1963, when atmospheric nuclear testing was banned, it is estimated that several tonnes of  were created. If all this extra  had immediately been spread across the entire carbon exchange reservoir, it would have led to an increase in the / ratio of only a few per cent, but the immediate effect was to almost double the amount of  in the atmosphere, with the peak level occurring in about 1965. The level has since dropped, as the "bomb carbon" (as it is sometimes called) percolates into the rest of the reservoir.

Isotopic fractionation
Photosynthesis is the primary process by which carbon moves from the atmosphere into living things. Two different photosynthetic processes exist: the C3 pathway and the C4 pathway. About 90% of all plant life uses the C3 process; the remaining plants either use C4 or are CAM plants, which can use either C3 or C4 depending on the environmental conditions. Both the C3 and C4 photosynthesis pathways show a preference for lighter carbon, with  being absorbed slightly more easily than , which in turn is more easily absorbed than . The differential uptake of the three carbon isotopes leads to / and / ratios in plants that differ from the ratios in the atmosphere. This effect is known as isotopic fractionation.

To determine the degree of fractionation that takes place in a given plant, the amounts of both  and  are measured, and the resulting / ratio is then compared to a standard ratio known as PDB.  (The / ratio is used because it is much easier to measure than the / ratio, and the / ratio can be easily derived from it.)  The resulting value, known as , is calculated as follows:
  ‰
where the ‰ (permil) sign indicates parts per thousand.  Because the PDB standard contains an unusually high proportion of , most measured  values are negative. Values for C3 plants typically range from −30‰ to −22‰, with an average of −27‰; for C4 plants the range is −15‰ to −9‰, and the average is −13‰. Atmospheric  has a  of −8‰.

For marine organisms, the details of the photosynthesis reactions are less well understood. Measured  values for marine plankton range from −31‰ to −10‰; most lie between −22‰ and −17‰. The  values for marine photosynthetic organisms also depend on temperature. At higher temperatures,  has poor solubility in water, which means there is less  available for the photosynthetic reactions. Under these conditions, fractionation is reduced, and at temperatures above 14 °C the  values are correspondingly higher, reaching −13‰. At lower temperatures,  becomes more soluble and hence more available to the marine organisms; fractionation increases and  values can be as low as −32‰.

The  value for animals depends on their diet. An animal that eats food with high  values will have a higher  than one that eats food with lower  values. The animal's own biochemical processes can also affect the results: for example, both bone minerals and bone collagen typically have a higher concentration of  than is found in the animal's diet, though for different biochemical reasons. The enrichment of bone  also implies that excreted material is depleted in  relative to the diet.

Since  makes up about 1% of the carbon in a sample, the / ratio can be accurately measured by mass spectrometry. Typical values of  have been found by experiment for many plants, as well as for different parts of animals such as bone collagen, but when dating a given sample it is better to determine the  value for that sample directly than to rely on the published values. The depletion of  relative to  is proportional to the difference in the atomic masses of the two isotopes, so once the  value is known, the depletion for  can be calculated: it will be twice the depletion of .

The carbon exchange between atmospheric  and carbonate at the ocean surface is also subject to fractionation, with  in the atmosphere more likely than  to dissolve in the ocean. The result is an overall increase in the / ratio in the ocean of 1.5%, relative to the / ratio in the atmosphere. This increase in  concentration almost exactly cancels out the decrease caused by the upwelling of water (containing old, and hence  depleted, carbon) from the deep ocean, so that direct measurements of  radiation are similar to measurements for the rest of the biosphere. Correcting for isotopic fractionation, as is done for all radiocarbon dates to allow comparison between results from different parts of the biosphere, gives an apparent age of about 400 years for ocean surface water.

Reservoir effects
Libby's original exchange reservoir hypothesis assumed that the / ratio in the exchange reservoir is constant all over the world, but it has since been discovered that there are several causes of variation in the ratio across the reservoir.

Marine effect
The  in the atmosphere transfers to the ocean by dissolving in the surface water as carbonate and bicarbonate ions; at the same time the carbonate ions in the water are returning to the air as . This exchange process brings from the atmosphere into the surface waters of the ocean, but the  thus introduced takes a long time to percolate through the entire volume of the ocean. The deepest parts of the ocean mix very slowly with the surface waters, and the mixing is known to be uneven. The main mechanism that brings deep water to the surface is upwelling. Upwelling is more common in regions closer to the equator; it is also influenced by other factors such as the topography of the local ocean bottom and coastlines, the climate, and wind patterns. Overall, the mixing of deep and surface waters takes far longer than the mixing of atmospheric  with the surface waters, and as a result water from some deep ocean areas has an apparent radiocarbon age of several thousand years. Upwelling mixes this "old" water with the surface water, giving the surface water an apparent age of about several hundred years (after correcting for fractionation). This effect is not uniform—the average effect is about 440 years, but there are local deviations of several hundred years for areas that are geographically close to each other. The effect also applies to marine organisms such as shells, and marine mammals such as whales and seals, which have radiocarbon ages that appear to be hundreds of years old. These marine reservoir effects vary over time as well as geographically; for example, there is evidence that during the Younger Dryas, a period of cold climatic conditions about 12,000 years ago, the apparent difference between the age of surface water and the contemporary atmosphere increased from between 400 and 600 years to about 900 years until the climate warmed again.

Hard water effect
If the carbon in freshwater is partly acquired from aged carbon, such as rocks, then the result will be a reduction in the / ratio in the water. For example, rivers that pass over limestone, which is mostly composed of calcium carbonate, will acquire carbonate ions. Similarly, groundwater can contain carbon derived from the rocks through which it has passed. These rocks are usually so old that they no longer contain any measurable , so this carbon lowers the / ratio of the water it enters, which can lead to apparent ages of thousands of years for both the affected water and the plants and freshwater organisms that live in it. This is known as the hard water effect, because it is often associated with calcium ions, which are characteristic of hard water; however, there can be other sources of carbon that have the same effect, such as humus. The effect is not necessarily confined to freshwater species—at a river mouth, the outflow may affect marine organisms. It can also affect terrestrial snails that feed in areas where there is a high chalk content, though no measurable effect has been found for land plants in soil with a high carbonate content—it appears that almost all the carbon for these plants is derived from photosynthesis and not from the soil.

It is not possible to deduce the effect of the effect by determining the hardness of the water: the aged carbon is not necessarily immediately incorporated into the plants and animals that are affected, and the delay affects their apparent age. The effect is very variable and there is no general offset that can be applied; the usual way to determine the size of the effect is to measure the apparent age offset of a modern sample.

Volcanoes
Volcanic eruptions eject large amounts of carbon into the air. The carbon is of geological origin and has no detectable , so the / ratio in the vicinity of the volcano is depressed relative to surrounding areas. Dormant volcanoes can also emit aged carbon. Plants that photosynthesize this carbon also have lower / ratios: for example, plants on the Greek island of Santorini, near the volcano, have apparent ages of up to a thousand years. These effects are hard to predict—the town of Akrotiri, on Santorini, was destroyed in a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago, but radiocarbon dates for objects recovered from the ruins of the town show surprisingly close agreement with dates derived from other means. If the dates for Akrotiri are confirmed, it would indicate that the volcanic effect in this case was minimal.

Hemisphere effect
The northern and southern hemispheres have atmospheric circulation systems that are sufficiently independent of each other that there is a noticeable time lag in mixing between the two. The atmospheric / ratio is lower in the southern hemisphere, with an apparent additional age of 30 years for radiocarbon results from the south as compared to the north. This is probably because the greater surface area of ocean in the southern hemisphere means that there is more carbon exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere than in the north. Since the surface ocean is depleted in  because of the marine effect,  is removed from the southern atmosphere more quickly than in the north.

Island effect
It has been suggested that an "island effect" might exist, by analogy with the mechanism thought to explain the hemisphere effect: since islands are surrounded by water, the carbon exchange between the water and atmosphere might reduce the / ratio on an island. Within a hemisphere, however, atmospheric mixing is apparently rapid enough that no such effect exists: two calibration curves assembled in Seattle and Belfast laboratories, with results from North American trees and Irish trees, respectively, are in close agreement, instead of the Irish samples appearing to be older, as would be the case if there were an island effect.

Contamination
Any addition of carbon to a sample of a different age will cause the measured date to be inaccurate. Contamination with modern carbon causes a sample to appear to be younger than it really is: the effect is greater for older samples. If a sample that is in fact 17,000 years old is contaminated so that 1% of the sample is actually modern carbon, it will appear to be 600 years younger; for a sample that is 34,000 years old the same amount of contamination would cause an error of 4,000 years. Contamination with old carbon, with no remaining , causes an error in the other direction, which does not depend on age—a sample that has been contaminated with 1% old carbon will appear to be about 80 years older than it really is, regardless of the date of the sample.

Contamination can occur if the sample is brought into contact with or packed in materials that contain carbon. Cotton wool, cigarette ash, paper labels, cloth bags, and some conservation chemicals such as polyvinyl acetate can all be sources of modern carbon. Labels should be added to the outside of the container, not placed inside the bag or vial with the sample. Glass wool is acceptable as packing material instead of cotton wool. Samples should be packed in glass vials or aluminium foil if possible; polyethylene bags are also acceptable but some plastics, such as PVC, can contaminate the sample. Contamination can also occur before the sample is collected: humic acids or carbonate from the soil can leach into a sample, and for some sample types, such as shells, there is the possibility of carbon exchange between the sample and the environment, depleting the sample's  content.

Rafiq Ahmed Jamali (; born 1 January 1967) is a Pakistani politician who had been a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan from August 2018 till August 2023. Previously he was a member of the National Assembly from 2002 to May 2018. From November 2008 to February 2011, he served as Minister of State for Food and Agriculture.

Early life
He was born on 1 January 1967 to Sardar Muhammad Bux Jamali.

Political career

He ran for the seat of the National Assembly of Pakistan as an independent candidate from Constituency NA-178 (Dadu-II) in 1993 Pakistani general election but was unsuccessful. He received 18 votes and lost the seat to his father Muhammad Bux Jamali, a candidate of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

Jamali was elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PPP from Constituency NA-232 (Dadu-II) in 2002 Pakistani general election. He received 56,814 votes and defeated a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (Q) (PML-Q).

He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PPP from Constituency NA-232 (Dadu-II) in 2008 Pakistani general election. He received 87,467 votes and defeated a candidate of PML-Q. In November 2008, he was inducted into the federal cabinet of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani and was made Minister of State for Food and Agriculture. In September 2009, the Sindh High Court issued notice to the federal government to sack him from the office of Minister of State for Food and Agriculture. In December 2009, he was under consideration from getting removed from the federal cabinet due to his unsatisfactory performance. However he continued to serve as Minister of State for Food and Agriculture until February 2011.

He was re-elected to the National Assembly as a candidate of PPP from Constituency NA-232 (Dadu-II) in 2013 Pakistani general election. He received 76,876 votes and defeated a candidate of Pakistan Muslim League (N). He was accused of rigging the election using the state machinery, though election tribunal dismissed the accusations due to lack of evidence.

title: 2014 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes

text:
Clashes on the Armenian–Azerbaijan border (Tavush–Qazakh) and the line of contact between the Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan started on 27 July 2014. Reported casualties of the clashes were some of the highest since the 1994 ceasefire agreement that ended the First Nagorno-Karabakh War.

Background

As the Soviet Union was dissolving, ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan fought a brief conflict, backed by Armenia proper, that resulted in the de facto independence of Nagorno-Karabakh (NKR) alongside a 1994 ceasefire agreement and what academics have called a frozen conflict. At the same time, Azerbaijan controls the exclave of the Nakhichivan Autonomous Republic bordering Armenia that is not contiguous with its main territory.

Further, at the General Debate during the United Nations General Assembly, Armenia and Azerbaijan have regularly used their two allotted Rights of Reply for at least the last few years in argument over the conflict.

Clashes

Summer
In early August 2014, Azerbaijani forces reported a total of twelve military casualties.  Eight of these were reported on 1 August 2014 after three days of sporadic fighting, with another four deaths reported on 2 August 2014. The Ministry of Defense of Nagorno-Karabakh reported one military casualty.

The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan stated that the four soldiers killed on  2 August 2014 died in a clash with what they called "Armenian sabotage groups" conducting an operation in the Aghdam–Tartar area. There were other injuries reported, but they were not life-threatening. The Nagorno-Karabakh Ministry of Defense said that its only casualty occurred in what it labeled a "successful repulsion of an attack by Azerbaijani commando units." NKR authorities later upgraded their death toll to three soldiers.

On 6 August 2014, the total death toll from both sides reached 18 people. The same day it was revealed that the presidents of both countries were to meet to discuss the clashes on neutral ground in Sochi.

On 7 August 2014, Karen Petrosian, from Chinari village in Karabakh, traveled into Azerbaijani territory and was captured, later dying while in custody. Initial news reports from Baku said that Petrosian had been detained by villagers in Azerbaijan's Tovuz district and handed over to military authorities. The Azerbaijan Defense Ministry claimed afterwards, however, that Petrosian was a member of an Armenian commando squad that tried unsuccessfully to conduct a cross-border sabotage attack. It said Azerbaijani troops captured him after killing four other Armenian soldiers. The Armenian military dismissed that claim.  Images released by the Azerbaijani authorities late on Thursday showed two masked men in army fatigues posing for a photograph with Petrosian, in which the latter wore army boots and a camouflage vest. Earlier photographs of Petrosian, apparently taken by Azerbaijani civilians, showed him wearing sneakers and no evidence of a military uniform. The Defense Ministry in Baku claimed that “acute heart and lung failure” was the likely cause of Petrosian's death. Armenia's government claimed that Petrosian was tortured to death.

Azerbaijani citizen, Shahbaz Guliyev, and a Russian national, Dilgham Asgarov, were taken captive in Karabakh for suspected commando activities. The Armenian government said that the two were caught in the act, with a third man, Hasan Hasanov, killed during their capture. The announcement of Guliyev's capture coincided with an official confirmation that a 17-year-old ethnic Armenian resident of Kelbajar, Smbat Tsakanian, went missing a week prior. Officials in Stepanakert did not rule out a connection between his disappearance and the alleged Azerbaijani infiltration. Baku has denied that the two individuals have anything to do with the military, and has demanded that the International Committee of the Red Cross secure their release, as well as the return of Hasanov's body. “If Armenia is currently demonstrating such a position on releasing the hostages and returning the body, how we can talk about the desire to coexist in the future based on mutual confidence[?]” senior presidential administration official Ali Hasanov asked the ICRC last month. (Baku does not negotiate with representatives of separatist Karabakh.)  Azerbaijani media reported that the ICRC visited the two men on 12 August 2014. The organization did not comment publicly. Meanwhile, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian called for the punishment of both men—a call that was likely to pick up popular momentum after the death of Petrosian.

On 29 December 2014 a court in Nagorno-Karabakh sentenced Dilgam Askerov to life in prison for illegal border crossing and arms possession, espionage and kidnapping as well as for the murder of Smbat Tsakanian. Shahbaz Quliyev was sentenced to 22 years in prison for illegal border crossing and arms possession, espionage and kidnapping.

The Azerbaijani Government denounced the trial as illegal and demanded the release of both men. The Foreign Ministry in Baku spokesman Hikmet Hajiyev stated: "The 'trial' held in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan has no legal force" and Baku will continue to press the international community to secure the release of the two "hostages." While authorities in Stepanakert stated the two Azerbaijanis cannot be treated like prisoners of war because their "brutal and inhuman" actions targeted a civilian.

Reactions

Involved parties
 – Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan stated at the height of the clashes: "At any moment our neighbor may undoubtedly organize provocations that could lead to war. But the president and military-political leadership of the country are doing everything to calm things down. The analysis of [the events of] the last few days shows that, broadly speaking, there is still no basis for a large-scale war."
 – MP Ganira Pashayeva criticized the international organizations for their indifferent position on the recent escalation of tensions along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

 – The Foreign Ministry issued a statement that read it "extends its most sincere condolences to the families of the victims" and "considers the events of the past few days a serious violation of ceasefire agreements and declared its intention to find a political settlement of the conflict." The deputy director of the Foreign Ministry's Information and Press Department, Maria Zakharova, said that "further escalation is unacceptable" and that "we urge all the warring sides to exercise restraint, give up the use of force and take urgent measures aimed at stabilizing the situation".
 – Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called Aliyev to offer his condolences. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement that read it: "We are following with sorrow and concern the recent clashes that occurred on the line of contact on the occupied Azerbaijani territories which resulted in the loss of many lives. We wish God’s mercy to our Azerbaijani brothers who were martyred in the conflicts and extend our condolences to their families and the brotherly people of Azerbaijan.
 – On 1 August, the United States called on the sides "to take immediate action to reduce tensions and respect the cease-fire." The U.S. Department of State deputy spokeswoman, Marie Harf, said that the State Department is urging the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to meet "at the earliest opportunity to resume dialogue on key issues."

title: ABCD 2

text:
Disney's ABCD 2, also known as Any Body Can Dance 2, is a 2015 Indian Hindi-language dance film directed and choreographed by Remo D'Souza and produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur under Walt Disney Pictures. A stand-alone sequel to the 2013 film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, the film stars Prabhu Deva, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles alongside Sushant Pujari, and is partially inspired by the life account of Suresh Mukund and Vernon Monteiro, played respectively by Dhawan and Pujari, founders of the "fictitious dance crew" The Kings, who went on to win the World Hip Hop Dance Championship in San Diego.

ABCD 2 was released by UTV Motion Pictures on 19 June 2015 in 3D, and was one of Disney's only two original musical films in the Indian market, with Sachin–Jigar composing the soundtrack and background score, while Mayur Puri wrote the dialogues and lyrics. The decommissioned warship  was featured as a backdrop behind the dancers' practice area during the first half of the film. D'Souza and Tushar Hiranandani wrote the screenplay.

ABCD 2 earned mixed to positive reviews, with praise for its production design, choreography, music and the performances of Deva, Dhawan and Kapoor, while criticism was aimed at its writing and length.

ABDC 2 - The Official Game, a dance mobile video game was developed by Indiagames Ltd. and released along with the film.

Plot
Suresh 'Suru' Mukund, a waiter in a bar, wants to be a big dancer to fulfill his late mother Durgadevi's wish, for which he is supported by his best friend Vernon Monteiro, a pizza delivery boy. Vinita "Vinnie" Sharma, a hairdresser, wants to be the best hip-hop dancer. Childhood friends from suburban Nalasopara, Mumbai, they form a team and participate in a national-level competition Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin where they are disqualified from the grand finale as their moves are revealed to be copied from the performance act of the Philippine All Stars and the judges term them "cheaters". Everyone departs to search for jobs. Suru returns to work as a waiter, Vinnie rejoins a beauty parlor and Vernon gets back as a delivery boy where, on and off, they are insulted as cheaters. The departure of angry teammates adds injury to insult, and nothing is set to be corrected.

Suru hopes to remove the negative tag by planning to win a grander hip-hop competition in Las Vegas, the World Dance Championship, where the Philippine All Stars are highly popular. One day he watches Vishnu, a rogue visitor, prove his dance mettle to a betting visitor in the bar and convinces him repeatedly to be their choreographer. They audition for people and formulate the team. During the practices for the qualifiers, Vinod, a deaf-mute dancer, discovers Vinnie and Suru's hidden love for each other. They visit the qualifiers in Bangalore, where they are pre-insulted as cheaters, but manage to win it after Vishnu begs the audience for one last chance for the team. Although things are fine, Suru is broken when Shetty Anna, the owner of the bar where he is employed, refuses to provide him financial support extending to Rs. 25 lakhs, something he had earlier publicly promised to Suru at the time of the Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin finale, and Suru leaves the place, angry at Anna's insulting language for Vinnie. However, Vishnu manages to get the money from Crocxz's uncle who he convinces after Suru loses hope when Vishnu gets angry at his inability to arrange team funds. Later they prepare to go to Las Vegas, but Vinod learns from Vishnu himself that the latter has ulterior motives to go to Vegas, and, as a matter of fact, he had deliberately impressed Suru and friends to procure a way out for his plan. After reaching Las Vegas, they win the qualifiers. Later, Vishnu leaves the hotel with team money to meet his son Manu, whose mother Swati, Vishnu's ex-wife, is married to another man and has moved on in life. His son Manu recognizes him, his art, and his achievements, and Vishnu leaves with a contented heart.

Meanwhile, Vinnie is injured due to excessive rehearsal and is replaced by Olive, an American girl of partial Indian origin, and Vishnu discovers this while thanking friend Gopi, who works in a bar-cum-hotel. At the same time, Suru is enraged when he finds Vishnu missing and tries to proceed with jam sessions all on his own, but in vain. Vishnu returns while trying to save the day for Suru from the German team as they get into a fight, later admitting he had made a 'mistake' leaving without permission although he didn't want to lose a family he had yearned to create in years. He apologizes; Suru, however, reaffirms Vishnu to be the team's choreographer and they reconcile, and the team enters the finals. Across rehearsals, Olive gets close to Suru, and a jealous Vinnie finally confronts Suru, who initially finds it difficult to confess his love for her as they had been best friends from childhood, but eventually gets together with her. Although Olive has feelings for Suru, an in-person conversation with Vinnie assures Olive that Suru had that inherent charm with nothing to do about his sweetness, and Olive agrees to continue with the Indian Stunners after Vinnie recovers. The team enters the final, where Vinod's health worsens during an "assemblage" by the team, and the formation suddenly breaks down even as his friend D, who knew about his tuberculosis problem, tries to support him. Everyone has almost given up after the accident when Vinod tries to encourage Suru, who forgoes the accident and the others return to make the formation with success with Vinod at the bottom. Although unable to win the competition, they win the hearts of millions, with Suru lending a voiceover narrative about his mother's motivational lessons on dance.

Filming
ABCD 2 was shot in Mumbai, Bangalore and Las Vegas. the shooting was finally over in March 2015. The young-talented French duo Les Twins (Laurent and Larry Bourgeois) were also roped in for a special freestyle dance in the song "Tattoo". Kapoor is known to have celebrated her 26th birthday on the sets of the film with a Disney princess cake.

Release

ABCD 2 was released by UTV Motion Pictures, a Disney subsidiary, on 19 June 2015. However, D'Souza wanted to pre-release it on 18 June 2015 due to the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He stated, We just come to know that the Holy month of Ramadan starts on 19 June, the day we have scheduled the release of ABCD 2. I've been receiving so many emails and messages from my Muslim friends requesting not to release on that day, as they would be unable to go for the film.

Critical reception

On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 58%, based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 6/10. Anupama Chopra gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and said "Taking a cue from Hollywood's Step Up series, director-choreographer Remo D'Souza packs in a television dance competition, several elaborate dance sequences, a romantic rivalry and the requisite rich-poor divide."

Meena Iyre from The Times of India gave it 3 out of 5 stars stating the film raises the bar from its first part. Sukanya Verma of Rediff liked the choreography but thought that "because of its poorly paced beginning, ABCD 2 feels a bit of stretch at 154 minutes." She gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN also gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars writing that the film "makes up for its amateurish storytelling with its often jaw-dropping set pieces and the sheer hard work of its leads. Varun and Shraddha are so earnest, you're willing to forgive their less-than-convincing histrionics because their dancing – particularly Varun's – is mighty impressive. Both actors hold their own against the professionals without losing face."

The film got a negative review from Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express who gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars. She wrote "A dance movie needs to electrify. That's missing in this Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Dhawan starrer".

Soundtrack

Distributed and released by Zee Music Company as part of its 2-year contract with Disney, the soundtrack and background score of ABCD 2 is composed entirely by Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya under the Sachin–Jigar alias, while the lyrics were written by Mayur Puri, with Badshah, Rimi Nique and D. Soldierz providing additional lyrics, while Priya Saraiya guest-wrote and sang the song "Sun Saathiya", a scratch version of which was featured in ABCD: Any Body Can Dance. The audio album was released on 22 May 2015.

A reprised, uncredited version of "Vande Mataram" appears during the end credits. The version is crooned by Sachin and Jigar.

A reprise version of "Bezubaan Phir Se" was also released, crooned by Shraddha Kapoor and Neel Sharma, with the English rap written by Sharma and the Hindi lyrics borrowed from Puri.

title: Frank Ford Russell

text:
Frank Ford Russell (1904-1969) was the son of Frank Henry Russell. He was an intercollegiate wrestling champion for Yale University and was elected captain of its wrestling team in 1924. He was posthumously inducted into the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Hall of Fame. Russell also rowed with the famed Yale Eight crew that won the 1924 Olympics (see Rowing at the Olympics,) although his wrestling schedule ultimately forestalled participation in the Olympic campaign. He was a member of the Skull and Bones Society.

He was graduated from Yale in 1926 and after a short stint on Wall Street, entered the aviation business, avoiding work with any company associated with his father to avoid presumptions of nepotism. By the end of the 1930s, he was President of National Aviation Corporation. During World War II, Russell was one of the "Dollar-A-Year" men who left lucrative professions to work for that nominal amount in support of America's war effort. He served as President of the National Aviation War Production Council. The Council was an adjunct to the War Production Board specifically tasked with coordinating aircraft production.

Later Russell resumed his business career as president, later chairman, of Cerro Corporation. He was a director of Bell Aviation, Otis Elevator, the Chase Manhattan Bank, Lockheed Inc., Glen L. Martin Co., Worthington Corporation, and National Sulfur Corp. He was a trustee of Milton Academy and president of the Independent School League.

title: Eithne Dunne

text:
Eithne Dunne (30 October 1919 – 21 December 1988) was an Irish stage and screen actress.

Career
She was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She first started acting in Dublin and made her first appearances at the Abbey Theatre in 1939. She remained there for most of the 1940s. In the 1950s she performed at the Gate Theatre, after which she made her first appearance on Broadway.

In 1960 she took part in the highly successful Abbey touring production of The Playboy of the Western World. In the mid-1960s she was resident and performed in a number of plays at the Bristol Old Vic, including Henry V, Othello, All In Good Time and The Rivals.

Although primarily a stage actress, she appeared in a number of TV series and motion pictures, including Shake Hands with the Devil, Dementia 13, and others.

Later life and death
In 1942, she married the actor-playwright Gerard Healy, who died on the 9 March 1963 in London. After playing in front of an enthusiastic audience in Hugh Leonard's Stephen D, her husband Healy collapsed in theatre and died. He was then burred in Mount Jerome Cemetery, Harold's Cross. In 1971, Dunne signed her last contract with the Abbey Theatre, she played the role as the Mother in Jack White's Today The Bullfinch, and in Tom Murphy's The Morning After Optimism.

Dunne died 21 December 1988, in a London Hospital aged 69. Dunne's funeral mass was celebrated in Donnybrook church, Dublin, and she was buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery, alongside her husband. Dunne is remembered for her career in acting, especially performing for many years in the Abbey Theatre, where her career began. She is remembered by many Irish and English companies, including the Radio Eireann Repertory Company, as she was a well-known member.

Legacy

Dunne's daughter, Anne, was a cosmetologist in Switzerland. Dunne performed in The Playboy Of the Western World a number of times and went to New York with the play. Her work was also experienced in the Dublin Film Festival in September 1961 when she performed as Mrs. Warren in Mrs. Warrens Profession by George Bernard Shaw. Her work also was experienced on the screen in the movie 8 o'clock walk directed by Lance Comfort where she played Mrs. Evans, this was a big opportunity which caused her to leave Ireland for Britain. She travelled to New York which paved the way for other actresses to also go to the United States. Dunne was featured in many famous Irish playwrights work both in New York and in Ireland. Her work has been highly commended by fellow playwrights as well as within well regarded news articles.

Dunne expressed a keen interest in having other actresses have the same opportunities she had as she was one of few actresses who was able to make a living from her work in plays and films at the time. She explained how acting is a precarious career and how she found that her work in both the Gate Theatre and the Abbey Theatre allowed her to build up her repertoire and therefore pass her experiences onto other actresses. Dunne's association with Michael MacLiammoir in plays such as Wuthering Heights and her involvement with Longford Production since their establishment in 1944 have further cemented her place in Irish theatrical history. Fellow actors and actresses often praised her work, and many of them travelled to Ireland to attend her memorial mass and commemorate her life.

title: Murray & Roberts

text:
Murray & Roberts Holdings Ltd. is a South African-based engineering and mining contractor. It is listed on the JSE Securities Exchange. The Group delivers its capabilities into three global primary market sectors the resources, industrial, energy, water and specialised infrastructure market sectors.

The company offers civil, mechanical, electrical, mining and process engineering; and management of concession operations. In addition to the many buildings, Murray & Roberts has been involved in the construction of the Gautrain railroad, the Medupi Power Station, and the Cape Town Stadium.

Company history
Murray & Roberts was established in 1902 as an emerging house builder in the Cape Colony. For its first 75 years, the company developed under the leadership of its founding families. Douglas Murray inherited Murray & Stewart from his father John in 1928 and co-founded The Roberts Construction Co. in 1934 with his friend and colleague Douglas Roberts. They were later joined by Andrew Roberts, and the three entrepreneurs played a leadership role in the formal development of the South African construction and engineering industry.

Under Douglas Murray, the company followed a strategy that maintained geographic focus in the Cape Province, he sought growth through diversification into construction materials and services as well as the industrial sector.  The company later expanded geographic focus into the rest of Africa and elsewhere whist focusing on construction.  In 1951 the company became public and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Douglas Murray died in 1964 and was succeeded by long-serving executive Des Baker, who in partnership with Bill Bramwell at Roberts Construction became the architect of a merged and more industrialised Murray & Roberts over a 13-year period between 1967 and 1979. Douglas Roberts finally retired in 1979 and both brothers died in 1982. Following the premature death of Des Baker earlier that year, Bill Bramwell became executive chairman.

Murray & Roberts was formed in 1967 following its merger with Murray & Stewart, but the two companies continued to operate as separate businesses until all operations were fully consolidated in 1979.

Dave Brink joined Murray & Roberts in 1970 as manager of RUC Mining Contracting. He was first appointed an executive director in 1984, followed by his appointment as chief executive in 1985 and chairman in 1994. Brink returned to Murray & Roberts in 1998 as executive chairman and managing director and became a non-executive chairman in 2000 until he retired in 2003. Brink oversaw a period of acquisition and diversification as Murray & Roberts sought growth at a time when South Africa was politically isolated from the world due to Apartheid sanctions and the domestic construction sector was in decline.

The 15-year period between 1980 and 1994 brought significant change to the shareholding and business make-up of Murray & Roberts. In 1984, The Murray Trusts entered a shareholder and voting pool agreement with Sanlam that controlled more than 50% of the issued shares of Murray & Roberts. By 1989, Sanlam had placed its shares into its industrial investment subsidiary Sankorp, which in turn took singular control of the company through the voting pool agreement, influencing board appointments and strategy. Over the period 1990 to 1994, numerous industrial businesses from elsewhere in the Sankorp stable were sold into Murray & Roberts, paid for through the issue of new shares.

By 1995 Sanlam had reduced its shareholding below 35%, a new executive leadership was in place and euphoria around South Africa's new democracy including the promise offered by the Reconstruction and Development Programme. Five contracting activities had reduced to less than 30% of group business with the major contributors being cement, tyres and transport.

In June 2000, management aimed to transform Murray & Roberts fundamentally over a five-year period to 30 June 2005 by expanding the company into emerging markets.

Over the decade from 2000 to 2010, Murray & Roberts experienced significant growth: the project order book increased exponentially to R42 billion and revenues quadrupled to R32 billion. This period in the Group's history was strongly characterised by the lead up to the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the infrastructure investment programme launched by the South African Government to replace ageing infrastructure and prepare South Africa for the largest international event ever hosted on the African continent. It was also a time of global expansion as demand for mining, energy and transport infrastructure increased.

In the last decade from 2010 to 2021, the Group has been reshaped into a multinational engineering and construction group, with a substantial global footprint. Limited investment in the South African economy over many years have spurred this shift.

The Group's international scope now includes market sectors with robust fixed capital investment fundamentals. These market sectors will benefit from substantial stimulus earmarked for infrastructure-led economic recovery, which also seeks to sustainably meet the needs of a growing and urbanising global population. The resources, industrial, energy, water and specialised infrastructure sectors present the best opportunities for growth, diversification and differentiation for our business platforms, as specialist contractors in their regions.

Over the next three years, Murray & Roberts expects the majority of the Group's revenue to be derived from its two international business platforms, which have established credible positions in regions and sectors with sustainable growth prospects.

Acquisitions and Divestments

Christiani & Nielsen
Christiani & Nielsen started operations in South Africa as a subsidiary of the international civil engineering contractors of the same name, whereupon it became a member of the Murray & Roberts group in 1971.

Concor
Concor was delisted on 30 June 2006 after 100% of its share capital was purchased by Murray & Roberts. It changed its name when it merged with Murray & Roberts Construction (Pty) Ltd. Whilst under the control of Murray & Roberts, Concor Facility Management and Concor Property Development was closed whilst Concor Roads was merged with Concor Civils. Concor Technicrete was sold as a going concern.

The Concor and Murray & Roberts construction divisions were sold to a black owned consortium, led by Southern Palace Group in late 2016 and renamed Concor Construction in May 2017. Concor is now independent certified a Level 1 BEE Company.

Cementation
Subsidiary Murray & Roberts RUC, acquired Cementation Africa with effect 1 July 2004. Murray & Roberts sees the mining sector in Africa as one of the areas where it can substantially grow and expand its business over the long term. The complementary nature of the two companies was important, with the merger giving Murray & Roberts Cementation an estimated 60% market share of the hard rock underground mining construction and contracting sectors in Southern Africa.

Clough
Established in 1919, Clough is an Australian-based engineering, construction and asset support contractor providing full project life cycle solutions primarily to the upstream oil and gas sector. In November 2013, Clough shareholders voted in favour of a proposed scheme under which Murray & Roberts acquired all the ordinary shares in Clough it did not already own.

Murray & Roberts obtained its own shareholder approval to buy the remaining 38.4% of the shares in Clough for about R4bn. Clough's turnkey services range from complex front-end engineering design, construction, installation and commissioning to long-term operations and maintenance.

OptiPower Projects
On 1 September 2019, the Power, Industrial & Water platform acquired OptiPower Projects, whose capabilities are largely in the construction of MV and HV power lines, construction of MV and HV substations and construction of overhead and underground fibre optic networks, for a consideration of R38 million. The acquisition of OptiPower Projects has given the Power, Industrial & Water platform the capability to undertake work in the transmission, distribution and substation subsectors of the power market. This acquisition is a business combination.

Terra Nova Technologies
On 1 May 2019, Cementation Americas, which forms part of the Underground Mining platform, acquired 100% of TNT for a total consideration of R635 million. The acquisition of the TNT business was structured through an acquisition of assets of TNT USA Inc. and a 100% share purchase of TNT Chile Limitada.

TNT provides services to the global mining industry (both surface and underground) and design, supply and commission overland conveyors, crushing/conveying systems, mobile stacking systems, including dry stack tailings and heap leach systems, crushing and screening plants and in-pit crushing and conveying systems. TNT also provides process equipment for mining projects. The acquisition of TNT complements the engineering and construction services of Cementation Americas and the Underground Mining platform.

JJ White Inc
In October 2021, Murray & Roberst acquired J.J. White Incorporated for US$28,25 million. JJ White, founded in 1920, is a private, fourth-generation multi-trade engineering and contracting business, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. JJ White specializes in industrial maintenance and related construction services that covers a full range of mechanical and electrical disciplines.

The acquisition is part of the Group's strategy to diversify and expand the service offering of its Energy, Resources & Infrastructure business platform in North America, similar to its recent market sector diversification in the Asia-Pacific region, which has seen significant order book growth over the past three years. This investment presents strong growth potential and opportunity for market share expansion.

San Jose Mine rescue
Murray & Roberts participated in the rescue operation of 33 miners who had been trapped underground in the 2010 Copiapó mining accident in the San Jose Mine near the town Copiapó in the north of Chile. Murray & Roberts has a controlling shareholding in two mining contracting companies in Chile; Terracem, which is a specialist raise drilling company, and Cementation Sudamerica, which focused on major vertical shaft and underground mine infrastructure work.  Its partner in Chile is a local company, Terraservice.

One of the company's large diameter raise drilling machines, the Strata 950, was used by Terracem in the rescue operation.  Rotary Vertical Drilling System (RVDS) technology, co-developed by Murray & Roberts, was applied to accurately drill a pilot hole to reach the trapped miners, where the hole was to be opened up to 660mm to rescue the miners.   The Strata 950 had just completed a shaft for Codelco's Andina Mine and had already been transferred to the San Jose Mine where drilling would commence.

Controversies

Anti competitive behaviour
In June 2013, Murray & Roberts agreed to pay R309 million levied by the Competition Commission as one of 15 construction companies fined a total of R1.46 billion for anticompetitive behaviour.  The commission found that the company had committed a total of 17 transgressions of the South African Competition Act.  In November 2013 it was reported that Murray & Roberts was pursuing former company executives implicated in anticompetitive behaviour.

The Competition Commission found that Murray & Roberts, along with another 14 South African construction companies, had "an agreement in terms of which firms which were not interested in the projects or winning the tenders, or were not allocated to a project, would submit cover bids to ensure that those interested in particular bids, won them." By this process the colluding companies were able to rig bids so that they could charge higher prices and ensure that participating colluding companies got bids that were preselected by those companies beforehand and without the government or any other third party knowing.

The company was not penalised for a number of the projects the company was caught engaging in anticompetitive behaviour in because many of them occurred more than three years before the Competition Commission investigation.
