La legge nazionale sulle telecomunicazioni, nel secondo periodo di indipendenza estone, garantisce il monopolio delle linee fisse internazionali e locali alla Eesti Telecom.

Nel processo di privatizzazione, una concessione era garantita per la liberalizzazione della telefonia mobile, TV via cavo. Questa concessione era necessaria allo sviluppo del competitività del mercato. Tre operatori di telefonia mobile, ottenuta la licenza, hanno incoraggiato uno dei più alti tassi di penetrazione del mercato. La licenze per le Tv via cavo hanno garantito a livello locale, a finché erano un monopolio, operatori pirati sono proliferati all'interno delle città negli anni novanta.

La diffusione di Internet è sbocciata. All'inizio con i collegamenti satellitari e linee in fibra ottica a noleggio, posizionate sotto il mare, l'Estonia era collegata al resto del mondo. La concessione per i pacchetti di comunicazione, forse per contrastare il limite alla comunicazione, ha creato le condizioni nelle quali Skype è stata originariamente creata.

Con una popolazione di 1,3 milioni di abitanti, l'Estonia ha circa 1,7 milioni di telefoni cellulari, 0,5 milioni di telefoni fissi, 0,8 milioni di utenti Internet (dati del 2006).

In this blog series, we will introduce you to our team. Today is Mark Hudson, the Chief Operating Officer at Ignition Wealth.
In recent years, he worked as a Consultant for AGS World Transport. He went on to work as the Program Director for both Tabcorp and One Big Switch, before joining Ignition Wealth.
At this stage in my career, I wanted to work with people I really liked. I met our CTO, Mike Giles back in 2002 and worked together until 2006, taking me to London and relocating to Mumbai for a year while we developed a self-service financial advice model that Ignition Wealth is based upon. The time was just right for me to make a triumphant return in 2015!
There are numerous achievements/failures, but some highlights include launching an early version of Ignition Wealth to the Indian adviser market in 2006, streamlining the buying, warehousing and logistics for a major Australian fresh produce retailer, and completing an MBA (full time) which gave me a new perspective on business strategy, the power of marketing and learning about ME!
Today I manage a great team that covers operations, advice and compliance. This includes making sure our customers and their clients are properly supported, and obligations for our Australian Financial Services License. My team also manages our internationally-recognised information security management system called ISO27001:2013. Fairly dry, but super-critical for Ignition Wealth's reputation.
Building and working with a great team, and the tremendous opportunity afforded to us right now. I'm also grateful for the flexibility.
Having our new baby sleep through the night! During the day though, building our core team, winning business and achieving better financial outcomes for Australians.
That's tough. I've been an iPhone fanboy forever, but I have to say wireless headphones have brought back radio, podcasts and audiobooks to my commute which I just love.
Guns, Germs and Steel changed my worldview, tweaked by Sapiens. I also admire Elon Musk in his biography – he takes big bets.
Dougie the Pizza Boy got the same advice: work hard and be good to your mother. In addition, my parents encouraged me to borrow for a house when I was much younger which has taught me the value of forced savings.

A renegade knight recruits a crack team of sword swallowers, snake charmers, belly dancers and carpet surfers to steal the biggest dragon hoard of the Crusades in this uproarious reimagining of Arabian Nights mythology.
In the small town where his name dominates every headline, the biggest case of Johnny Socko's All-Star sleuthing career has just fallen into his lap—a message centuries old, scrawled in blood. It speaks of pirates, curses, and a long lost island fortress known as Castillo del Mar.

I looked out of the window of the suburban train as it crossed the Paddington station. It was not on the '4.50 from Paddington' and mercifully no murder was taking place on the train. I could only get a glimpse of the two cute girls aged about five to seven years engaged in a game of cards( Uno, I guess!), as the train passed from the opposite direction. It had been raining and the temperature had come down. In a short while we arrived at the Waterloo station.
The Waterloo station is located in the heart of Central London and works with a clock work precision. We were booked by Eurostar for a journey to Paris. After completing the immigration checks we came to the main concourse where some people were idling and others were looking for souvenirs in the adjacent shop. One could see the professionalism in running of this prestigious train. Around 3 PM the train smoothly glided on the platform, almost noiselessly. It was to depart at 3.11 PM and it left bang on time! The train zipped through the country side tearing through the lush green fields sprawling for miles on either side of the track passing Ashford International ,and reached Dover at 4 PM. In next 20 minutes the train went through the tunnel to cross the English Channel before emerging in France at Calais Frethun. In 1988 construction began for the Eurotunnel which was finished in 1993. On 20 June 1993, the first Eurostar test train travelled through the tunnel to the UK.Eurotunnel was officially opened in May 1994.The tunnel is truly a marvel of modern day engineering linking UK with France through the English Channel and is the second longest under sea tunnel.
The scenery changes dramatically at the small town of Calais, as sea gulls soared in the clear blue sky.The journey continued with a brief halt at Lille before arriving at Gare du Nord station in Paris.
The train has more capacity than a jumbo jet – 766 seats per train! Travelling at up to 300km/h, it takes less time to reach Paris Central than a journey by air.
It was an amazing train journey!
Sir, I think you have traveled the entire globe. :) Beautiful post, wish could experience the train travel in Euro tunnel.
I clicked on the link but following message is coming up, please check.
@ Sub-Thanks for liking this!
@ Saru- I have seen a bit and there is still so much more to see! My apologies for the error in the link which I have rectified.
Loved reading this! The speed of it is mind blowing ~ I wasn't aware of this fact.
I was in the London area when the construction of this was just commencing and some day I would love to go back and take a ride.
When this tunnel project was first proposed, skeptics were concerned of it being a target for terrorism/bombing. That part did scare me and I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on the topic? Did you feel safe?

Q: Disconnect MutationObserver After observing All Changes & Call Next Function I have a list of products on a page.
When I filter or sort products, I want my mutationobserver to connect.
When the mutationobserver finishes returning all the changes it observed, then and only then do I want to disconnect so that I can call my next function.
var optModify = new MutationObserver(entries => {
  console.log(entries);
if(observer === complete){
   nextFunction()
}
});

var optTarget = document.querySelector('.mainContainer')

optModify.observe(optTarget, {
    attributes: !0,
    childList: !0,
    characterData: !0,
    subtree: !0
});

The mutationobserver is observing as expected, I just don't know how to tell it to stop so that I can run my next function and insert new content to the page (which I don't want it to observe)
Any thoughts?

A: Use observer.disconnect(); when the moment is right. For example, after observed the expected change

// Select the node that will be observed for mutations
const targetNode = document.getElementById('some-id');

// Options for the observer (which mutations to observe)
const config = {
  attributes: true,
  childList: true,
  subtree: true
};

// Callback function to execute when mutations are observed
const callback = (mutationList, observer) => {
  /*
  for (const mutation of mutationList) {
    if (mutation.type === 'childList') {
      console.log('A child node has been added or removed.');
    } else if (mutation.type === 'attributes') {
      console.log(`The ${mutation.attributeName} attribute was modified.`);
    }
  }
  */

  console.log("something changed. won't observe again");

  // Later, you can stop observing
  observer.disconnect();
};

// Create an observer instance linked to the callback function
const observer = new MutationObserver(callback);

// Start observing the target node for configured mutations
observer.observe(targetNode, config);

I cannot even begin to express how much I LOVED this Weight Watchers Crock Pot Recipe. The chicken is so incredibly flavorful and moist, and there is a lot of sauce so you can really smother it (I'm a big sauce person).
For some extra Points, serve it over rice, noodles or quinoa. To avoid adding any extra points, I like eating this over roasted zucchini, red onion and pineapple.
Any way you decide to eat it, this Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Garlic Chicken Recipe is incredibly delicious, and is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
This fix it and forget it slow cooker meal brings a lovely and delicious meal to your table with just minutes of prep work. Gotta love that. This one is a must try, folks.
Sweet, tangy, and garlicky, tis ridiculously easy crock pot chicken recipe packs an amazing punch of flavor, for just a handful of Points. It's a no fuss meal that delivers moist and juicy chicken with a delicious sweet and sour sauce.
Salt and pepper chicken breasts and place in slow cooker.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (all EXCEPT the cornstarch), and pour over chicken.
Remove chicken from slow cooker and pour all the leftover sauce into a medium sized sauce pan, and set over medium high heat.
In a very small bowl, mix together the cornstarch with two tablespoons of water. Then, add that into the sauce. Bring to a simmer, and stir continuously until sauce begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for about 1-2 more minutes as the sauce will thicken more as it cools.
Absolutely delicious as written. The sauce was a little thick, so I added a little water to thin it at the end. Thank you for introducing me to such wonderful recipes. You are the best!
I would suggest lemon lime seltzer. You only use a 1/4 c so and a 1/2 of brown sugar so I think the sweetness would still be fine.
What would you suggest as a substitute for the soda?

6. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment of the remaining monies to Crane Creative will be due in full on the project's completion. This will be case specific, however, examples include, the delivery of printed items, publishing of a website and sending of e-shot.

If part payment of the invoice is received but there is still a balance owing after 30 days interest will be charged on the outstanding balance.
11. Crane Creative will do its best to ensure that the mutually agreed time frames are adhered to, however, please be aware that certain circumstances are out of our control which may have effect on the time frame. In addition, if any amendments are required by the client, this may potentially result in delays. Any time frames provided are estimated and Crane Creative cannot be held liable if the project overruns as a result of delays caused by the client n providing us with information or approval, or any third party delays or issues or any other issues outside of Crane Creative's control.
12. The quotation provided allows for presentation of at least two creative options per brief for the client's consideration. In the unlikely event that the client is not satisfied with the first round of presented work, a further round of additional creative development and presentation will be developed. If after the third round there is still no agreement on direction, we reserve a right to bring to an end any agreement with the client with no refund of deposit or payments made previously.
13. The quotation provided is inclusive of a maximum of three sets of client amendments to the presented work. Should any additional amendments be required, an additional fee, as agreed with us, will be charged. Crane Creative will make you aware of such charge before the additional amendments are made.
14. At the end of each stage of the process, including, but not limited to, sending an item to print or publishing to a website, the client will need to 'sign-off' their approval either in person or by email. No further development can be undertaken until Crane Creative is in receipt of written approval confirmation. Any amendments to work after receipt of the signed approved may incur additional charges for further time spent. Crane Creative will advise the client of these additional charges in advance. In addition, should any additional printing or services from a third party be required, the client is expected to fully settle these additional expenses.
15. Unless otherwise specified, costs quoted exclude the following where applicable: commissioned illustration, photography or stock images, image retouching, image scanning; copywriting, postage, in-house colour print-outs, travel, web hosting (it will often be a prerequisite to host your website with Crane Creative, particularly if a website incorporates an e-commerce or content management system), couriers, other third-party costs incurred (such as merchant bank and payment gateway charges) and so on.
16. It is assumed that, unless otherwise stated, the client will provide the majority of copy and images, although Crane Creative will contribute to this (through headlines, and top-line messages etc) as a natural part of the creative process. If required, Crane Creative is able to provide a full copywriting service or copy advice, as well as illustration and photography at an additional cost. Purchased royalty-free stock images from our standard sources (if required) will generally be priced at between £15 and £45 plus VAT per image (dependent on source, image size and quality) to cover sourcing time and image costs. Specific image requirements not satisfied by our standard sources will be charged at cost and an additional 15% with prior client notification.
17. Crane Creative recommends that clients use our preferred suppliers for print and is able to provide competitive quotations to ensure high quality and service is maintained until delivery of the final product. We always seek a number of quotations from our trusted print suppliers and provide a complete management service: from print-sourcing to print-liaison to proof checking. Although clients are not contract-bound to use Crane Creative to provide this service, it is highly recommended for quality control and peace of mind. If a client prefers to use their own print supplier, Crane Creative will simply provide artwork directly to the client to manage and forward, and will be unable to monitor, advise or take any responsibility for the process or final output.
18. In addition to print suppliers, Crane Creative works closely with sign manufacturers and installers, illustrators, interior designers and other relevant partners to provide an extensive high-quality service offering beyond immediate in-house capabilities.
19. Clients should be aware that due to a variety of factors there will often be variance in colours shown between in-house proofs, colours on screen, printer's proofs, and final printed items. These factors are determined by the source of the print or visual (each output source e.g. our printer, the client's printer, the image setter, the difference of monitors), the types of inks or make-up of colours (even Pantone colours can vary significantly and often surprisingly depending on what stock or substrate they are printed on), the type of print process (short-run digital, longer-run litho printing), the substrate (paper, card, plastic etc) used, individual preferences (ambient light, personal computer settings etc) and other such reasons. As a result of this, Crane Creative is unable to guarantee 100% consistency and accuracy of colour on all items and may not always be able to achieve the exact result expected by the client. In the case of printed items, the only true guide as to what is likely to be produced, is to request a 'wet-proof' on the actual intended substrate with the actual inks to be used, although this will incur additional cost. However as long as the client accepts there may be inconsistencies across work produced, this step may not be necessary. Crane Creative does not accept any responsibility for colour variations as a result of these indeterminate factors.
20. Until payment is received in full, all designs, artwork and rights to design and artwork (whether in digital or printed format) remain the intellectual property of Crane Creative. Full copyright and ownership of all 'commissioned' work will reside with Crane Creative until full payment has been received, at which point Crane Creative will surrender to the client, all claims of ownership and full copyright for final work produced (not including alternative designs, concepts, options, files, images or documents developed throughout the process). This agreement is subject to appropriate credit and acknowledgment appearing and Crane Creatives right to use the work for self promotion in its portfolio, in presentations, in advertising, in print and online.
21. Crane Creative will never knowingly infringe any copyright or trademark and will deliver, to the best of knowledge, creative solutions that are original and unique to the agency. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, it is the responsibility of the client to ensure that no copyright or trademark has been infringed and to make their own application for copyright or trademark with the 'UK Intellectual Property Office' if required.
22. If requested, Crane Creative will (at its discretion) provide the client with end-artwork in its final form (e.g. print-ready PDF; DVD master; outlined EPS file etc), however we do not by default (and possibly without further charge) provide clients with original artwork or HTML code (for example an InDesign file, layered Photoshop file or HTML source file) or any working or development files, rejected concepts and designs, images or documents generated throughout the project. Ownership and copyright of all unused or rejected files, documents and designs will reside with Crane Creative for non-exclusive future use.
23. Crane Creative will not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, use for our personal benefit or divulge, disclose or communicate in any manner any information that is proprietary to the client. We will act reasonably to protect such information and treat it as strictly confidential.
24. The client agrees to indemnify Crane Creative and keep the agency indemnified and hold the agency harmless from and against any claims, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses suffered or incurred in relation to work or services provided. Crane Creative is not liable for any loss that may occur before, during or after the development of projects undertaken. Crane Creative will not be held responsible for any delays, errors or losses arising from any third party.
25. For all web related projects, unless specifically stated, the client will retain 100% ownership of the web page design only (ownership is not applicable to proprietary software and programs or source code, such as databases, e-commerce and/or content management systems or web application source code).
26. Crane Creative offers a web hosting service to host the websites we have built for our clients. This is recommended in order to ensure ongoing quality of service and is a mandatory requirement for websites incorporating a content management system (CMS) or e-commerce system. Although the standard of our hosting packages are high. Crane Creative is unable to guarantee 100% up-time (as no web host would) nor accept any responsibility for any error, omission or misrepresentation in relation to the websites hosted or for any loss, damage, cost or expense (whether direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) suffered by any user of the websites hosted. Crane Creative makes no warranties or representations of any kind that hosting will be uninterrupted, error-free or that the website or the server that hosts the website are free from viruses or other forms of harmful computer code. In no event shall Crane Creative, its employees or agents be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damages resulting from the hosting of websites on our servers.
27. Appropriate credit and acknowledgment for work produced by Crane Creative should be attributed to Crane Creative where possible (for instance written in small text on the back of a printed item or at the bottom of a website) and may be referenced for the agency's promotional purposes unless otherwise (in exceptional circumstances) prearranged with the client.
28. These terms and conditions of business supersede any previous versions and apply to all present and future projects unless otherwise agreed in writing. Crane Creative reserves the right to change or modify these terms at any stage with immediate effect.

#Samsung #Lee Jae-yong
(2nd LD) Samsung heir apologizes over wrongdoings in succession, vows to scrap 'no labor union' policy
(ATTN: ADDS more info from 20th para, in paras 14-15)
By Joo Kyung-don
SEOUL, May 6 (Yonhap) -- Lee Jae-yong, the heir of South Korea's top conglomerate Samsung Group, made a rare public apology Wednesday over wrongdoings related to his succession and vowed to scrap the group's "no labor union" policy.
Lee, the eldest son of bedridden Samsung Group chief Lee Kun-hee, also said he will not hand over managerial power to his scions.
"Samsung has not strictly complied with laws and ethics, and also has been inadequate in communicating with society," Lee said during a press conference at the company's headquarters in Seoul.
"All of these came from our inadequacy, and it's my fault. I apologize," he said.
This is the first time that Lee has made a public apology since June 2015, when he did so over a Samsung hospital's mishandling of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
Lee's latest action comes after the group's independent compliance committee in March urged him to make a public apology and come up with measures that can improve Samsung's compliance culture in three areas: managerial succession, labor union and communication with civil society.
Lee, 51, was originally asked to respond to the committee's advice by April 10, but due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, Samsung had requested to push back the deadline by a month.
The succession process in Samsung has involved a bribery case and a controversial merger of two of its affiliates -- Samsung C&T Corp. and Cheil Industries Inc. -- in 2015. Legal battles on both issues are still under way.
Lee was indicted in 2017 for giving bribes to a longtime friend of then President Park Geun-hye as he sought backing for his plan to secure the throne of South Korea's biggest conglomerate.
He was initially sentenced to five years in prison in 2017 but was freed a year later after the Seoul High Court reduced the sentence to 2 1/2 years, suspended for four years, dismissing most of the bribery charges against him.
The Supreme Court, however, last year overturned the previous court ruling and sent it back to the Seoul High Court for a review.
Prosecutors believe Samsung's top management may have intentionally lowered the value of Samsung C&T prior to its merger with Cheil Industries in 2015 to help benefit Lee.
"All of the problems basically started from this succession issue," Lee said. "From now on, I will make sure that no controversy happens again regarding the succession issue."
Lee, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics Co., added he does not plan to give managerial rights to his children.
"I had it in my mind for a long time, but I was afraid to talk to others," he said. "I thought it was irresponsible to mention about succession after me since I have yet to be evaluated well."
Regarding labor union issues, Lee apologized to those who were hurt by the group's "no-labor union" policy.
"From now on, I will make sure that Samsung no longer pursues no labor union management," he said. "We will strictly comply with labor related laws and will guarantee three fundamental labor rights."
Samsung had disallowed labor unions for decades, claiming that its policy actually leads the conglomerate to better ensure its workers' rights and welfare.
In December, the group saw former Samsung Electronics board chairman Lee Sang-hoon sentenced to 18 months in prison for sabotaging a labor union.
In regard to communication with civil society, Lee vowed to listen to various voices from people, emphasizing that compliance will be Samsung's key culture.
Lee also shared his vision with Samsung, saying that the group aims to make society better by using its technology prowess and pursuing new business opportunities.
His apology over controversial succession plan came as the tech giant is suffering a slump in its key business areas such as smartphones.
The group's crown jewel, Samsung Electronics, saw its sales rise 5.61 percent on-year to 55.3 trillion won (US$45.2 billion), while its operating income increased 3.43 percent on-year to 6.4 trillion won in the first quarter of the year.
However, compared to the company's heyday in 2018, when it made at least 10 trillion won in operating profit, its quarterly performance was mediocre.
"Risk is always next to us, and you cannot predict the future," he said.
Lee said he will now focus on bringing in talented individuals who can make Samsung better.
"Those talented people should work with responsibility and must lead our businesses from more important positions than me," he said. "If I can fully carry out my role, then Samsung can remain as Samsung."
Meanwhile, the Federation of Korean Trade Unions, one of the major umbrella unions in the country, released a statement following Lee's apology, saying that the conglomerate should focus on matching its words with action regarding its promise on its labor union policy.

Target Debuts First Fresh DC
As Target Corp. begins opening its own food distribution facilities, it expects gross margins to benefit even though expenses will go up in the near term, the company told analysts during a conference call to discuss financial results for the second quarter and first half. The combination is a very solid economic proposition for us, Gregg Steinhafel, president and chief executive
Elliot Zwiebach | Aug 25, 2008
MINNEAPOLIS — As Target Corp. here begins opening its own food distribution facilities, it expects gross margins to benefit even though expenses will go up in the near term, the company told analysts during a conference call to discuss financial results for the second quarter and first half.
"The combination is a very solid economic proposition for us," Gregg Steinhafel, president and chief executive officer of Target Corp. here, said during the call.
Target opened its first semi-automated food distribution center earlier this month in Lake City, Fla., and a second facility is due to open in 2009 in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
"Our self-distribution strategy allows us to exert greater control over the perishable food component of our supply chain, resulting in improved freshness, higher food margins and continued rapid growth of our own-brand food," Steinhafel said.
"They are good economic projects, but they require us to spend significant capital in terms of the investment required to build and maintain and operate those facilities, so clearly, we are taking on an expense challenge. But in exchange for that we expect to see, and have seen, higher gross margins on the merchandise side and a slight deterioration in our expense rate, and the combination of those factors is a very solid economic proposition for us."
Net income for the quarter, which ended Aug. 2, fell 7.6% to $634 million, while sales rose 5.7% to $15 billion. Comparable-store sales dropped 0.4%. For the half, net income fell 7.5% to $1.2 billion and sales climbed 5.3% to $29.3 billion, while comps fell 0.6%.
In response to a question, Steinhafel said growth in food and consumables continued to outpace other categories.
Kathryn A. Tesija, executive vice president, merchandising, said Target's grocery business continues to grow "with new offerings in Archer Farms, our differentiated own-brand, and Market Pantry, our value own-brand."
According to Doug Scovanner, executive vice president and chief financial officer, "[The] comp-store sales performance puts us in the middle of the pack in the U.S. — clearly slower than most competitors who have a higher concentration of inflationary consumable and commodity items in their sales mix, and well ahead of most competitors with a higher concentration in home and/or apparel items in their sales mix."
Home and apparel categories account for over 40% of Target's sales, he noted.
Given the volatility of overall sales, Steinhafel said, Target will reduce store openings in 2009 "modestly," with between 70 and 75 openings planned, compared with between 90 and 95 projected for this year. However, while capital investment will be about the same for both years — in the range of $4.1 billion to $4.3 billion per year — "that's about $1 billion lower than our earlier thinking over this two-year period," Scovanner said.
Target will open its first two stores in Alaska in October and expects to enter Hawaii in 2009, Steinhafel said.

Der Kreis Ribnitz-Damgarten war ein Kreis im Bezirk Rostock in der DDR. Ab dem 17. Mai 1990 bestand er als Landkreis Ribnitz-Damgarten fort. Sein Gebiet gehört heute zum Landkreis Vorpommern-Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Der Sitz der Kreisverwaltung befand sich in Ribnitz-Damgarten.

Geografie

Lage
Der Kreis Ribnitz-Damgarten mit einer Ostsee-Außenküste von etwa 60 Kilometern Länge umschloss die Gebiete an den Unterläufen der Flüsse Recknitz und Barthe, die Halbinselkette Fischland-Darß-Zingst und die Boddengewässer zwischen den Halbinseln und dem Festland, das überwiegend aus flachem oder nur leicht hügeligem Gelände bestand (höchster Punkt: 55 m ü. NN im Südwesten des Kreises).

Größe und Einwohnerzahl
Der Kreis hatte eine Fläche von 942 km². Das waren 13,3 % der Fläche des Bezirks Rostock.

Im Kreis lebten im Jahr 1985 etwa 66.400 Einwohner. Das waren 7,4 % der Einwohner des Bezirks. Seine Bevölkerungsdichte betrug 70 Einwohner je km².

Nachbarkreise
Der Kreis Ribnitz-Damgarten im Zentrum des Bezirkes Rostock grenzte im Südwesten an den Kreis Rostock-Land, im Süden an den Kreis Teterow, im Südosten an den Kreis Grimmen sowie im Osten an den Kreis Stralsund.

Geschichte
Der aus vorpommerschen und mecklenburgischen Gebieten bestehende Kreis entstand am 25. Juli 1952 aus Teilen der alten Landkreise Rostock westlich und Franzburg-Barth (seit 1946 als Landkreis Stralsund bezeichnet) östlich der Recknitz, und gehörte nach der Auflösung der Länder dem neu gebildeten Bezirk Rostock an. Der Kreis kam am 3. Oktober 1990 in das neu gegründete Bundesland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern innerhalb des Beitrittsgebietes zur Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Am 12. Juni 1994 wurde der Kreis (seit dem 17. Mai 1990 als Landkreis bezeichnet) aufgelöst und bildete seither zusammen mit den ebenfalls aufgelösten Landkreisen Stralsund und Grimmen bis zur Kreisgebietsreform 2011 den Landkreis Nordvorpommern.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur
Im Kreis Ribnitz-Damgarten dominierte der Fremdenverkehr, insbesondere in der Sommersaison an den Stränden der Ostsee und der Boddengewässer. Die landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugnisse des "Hinterlandes" wurden zu einem großen Teil in den Städten des Kreises verarbeitet, die Fänge der Fischereigenossenschaften in Barth und Ribnitz-Damgarten. Als größter Industriebetrieb im Kreis galt das Faserplattenwerk in der Kreisstadt Ribnitz-Damgarten. Im Gebiet des Kreises lag auch das sozialistische "Vorzeigedorf"  Trinwillershagen mit seiner LPG "Rotes Banner".

Die Hauptverkehrsachse im Kreis war die Fernverkehrsstraße 105 von Rostock nach Stralsund, sowie die parallel verlaufende Bahnlinie. Von großer Bedeutung für den Tourismus waren die Verbindungsstraßen zu den Ostseebädern inklusive der Meiningenbrücke. Die Nebenbahnen Velgast-Barth und Velgast-Tribsees waren von untergeordneter bzw. saisonaler Bedeutung.

Städte und Gemeinden
Der Landkreis Ribnitz-Damgarten hatte am 3. Oktober 1990 41 Gemeinden, darunter vier Städte:

Kfz-Kennzeichen
Den Kraftfahrzeugen (mit Ausnahme der Motorräder) und Anhängern wurden von etwa 1974 bis Ende 1990 dreibuchstabige Unterscheidungszeichen, die mit den Buchstabenpaaren AF und AG begannen, zugewiesen. Die letzte für Motorräder genutzte Kennzeichenserie war AX 50-01 bis AX 99-99.

Anfang 1991 erhielt der Landkreis das Unterscheidungszeichen RDG. Es wurde bis zum 11. Juni 1994 ausgegeben. Seit dem 15. März 2013 ist es im Landkreis Vorpommern-Rügen erhältlich.

AI Could Scan IVF Embryos to Help Make Babies More Quickly
An algorithm that rates the quality of embryos better than specialists do is a step toward making IVF easier for women.Casey Chin; Getty Images
Apr 4, 2019 5:00 AM
An algorithm that rates the quality of embryos better than specialists do is a first step toward making IVF easier for women.
If a woman (or non-female-identifying person with a uterus and visions of starting a family) is struggling to conceive and decides to improve their reproductive odds at an IVF clinic, they'll likely interact with a doctor, a nurse, and a receptionist. They will probably never meet the army of trained embryologists working behind closed lab doors to collect eggs, fertilize them, and develop the embryos bound for implantation.
One of embryologists' more time-consuming jobs is grading embryos—looking at their morphological features under a microscope and assigning a quality score. Round, even numbers of cells are good. Fractured and fragmented cells, bad. They'll use that information to decide which embryos to implant first.
It's more gut than science and not particularly accurate. Newer methods, like pulling off a cell to extract its DNA and test for abnormalities, called preimplantation genetic screening, provide more information. But that tacks on additional costs to an already expensive IVF cycle and requires freezing the embryos until the test results come back. Manual embryo grading may be a crude tool, but it's noninvasive and easy for most fertility clinics to carry out. Now, scientists say, an algorithm has learned to do all that time-intensive embryo ogling even better than a human.
In new research published today in NPJ Digital Medicine, scientists at Cornell University trained an off-the-shelf Google deep learning algorithm to identify IVF embryos as either good, fair, or poor, based on the likelihood each would successfully implant. This type of AI—the same neural network that identifies faces, animals, and objects in pictures uploaded to Google's online services—has proven adept in medical settings. It has learned to diagnose diabetic blindness and identify the genetic mutations fueling cancerous tumor growth. IVF clinics could be where it's headed next.
The WIRED Guide to Artificial Intelligence
"All evaluation of the embryo as it's done today is subjective," says Nikica Zaninovic, director of the embryology lab at Weill Cornell Medicine, where the research was conducted. In 2011, the lab installed a time-lapse imaging system inside its incubators, so its technicians could watch (and record) the embryos developing in real time. This gave them something many fertility clinics in the US do not have—videos of more than 10,000 fully anonymized embryos that could each be freeze-framed and fed into a neural network. About two years ago, Zaninovic began Googling to find an AI expert to collaborate with. He found one just across campus in Olivier Elemento, director of Weill Cornell's Englander Institute for Precision Medicine.
For years, Elemento had been collecting all kinds of medical imaging data—MRIs, mammograms, stained slides of tumor tissue—from any colleague who would give it to him, to develop automated systems to help radiologists and pathologists do their jobs better. He'd never thought to try it with IVF but could immediately see the potential. There's a lot going on in an embryo that's invisible to the human eye but might not be to a computer. "It was an opportunity to automate a process that is time-consuming and prone to errors," he says. "Which is something that's not really been done before with human embryos."
To judge how their neural net, nicknamed STORK, stacked up against its human counterparts, they recruited five embryologists from clinics on three continents to grade 394 embryos based on images taken from different labs. The five embryologists reached the same conclusion on only 89 embryos, less than a quarter of the total. So the researchers instituted a majority voting procedure—three out of five embryologists needed to agree to classify an embryo as good, fair, or poor. When STORK looked at the same images, it predicted the embryologist majority voting decision with 95.7 percent accuracy. The most consistent volunteer matched results only 70 percent of the time; the least, 25 percent.
For now, STORK is just a tool embryologists can upload images to and play around with on a secure website hosted by Weill Cornell. It won't be ready for the clinic until it can pass rigorous testing that follows implanted embryos over time, to see how well the algorithm fares in real life. Elemento says the group is still finalizing the design for a trial that would do that by pitting embryologists against the AI in a small, randomized cohort. Most important is understanding if STORK actually improves outcomes—not just implantation rates but successful, full-term pregnancies. On that score, at least some embryologists are skeptical.
"All this algorithm can do is change the order of which embryos we transfer," says Eric Forman, medical and lab director at Columbia University Fertility Center. "It needs more evidence to say it helps women get pregnant quicker and safer." On its own, he worries that STORK might make only a small contribution to improving IVF's success rate, while possibly inserting its own biases.

In addition to embryo grading, the Columbia clinic uses pre-implantation genetic screening to improve patients' odds of pregnancy. While not routine, it is offered to everyone. Forman says about 70 percent of the clinic's IVF cycles include the blastocyst biopsy procedure, which can add a few thousand dollars to a patient's tab. That's why he's most intrigued about what Elemento's team is cooking up next. They're training a new set of neural networks to see if they can detect chromosomal abnormalities, like the one that causes Down Syndrome. With an embryo developing under a camera's watchful gaze, Elemento's algorithm would monitor the feed for telltale signs of trouble. "We think the patterns of cell division we can capture with these movies could potentially carry information about these defects, which are hidden in just the snapshots," says Elemento. They're also looking into using the technique to predict miscarriages.
There's plenty of room to improve the performance of IVF, and these algorithmic upgrades could make a dent—in the right circumstances. "If it could provide accurate predictions in real time with minimal risk for harm and no additional cost, then I could see the potential to implement AI like this for embryo selection," says Forman. But there would be barriers to its adoption. Most IVF clinics in the US don't have one of these fancy time-lapse recording systems because they're so expensive. And there are a lot of other potential ways to improve embryo viability that could be more affordable—like tailoring hormone treatments and culturing techniques to the different kinds of infertility that women experience. In the end, though, the number one problem IVF clinics contend with is that sometimes there just aren't enough high-quality eggs, no matter how many cycles a patient goes through. And no AI, no matter how smart, can do anything about that.

As pet friendly as we are in Naples, it gets a little stickier when it comes to real estate. This is because we have many condominiums and villas in the area and every condominium building or cluster of villas has its own rules and regulations regarding pets.
If you're in the market to purchase a single-family home, there's much more latitude. You may be interested in a detached, single-family home in The Moorings or Park Shore where there is no association to dictate the size or number of dogs, as an example. Some neighborhoods like Pine Ridge have lots large enough for horses.
However, if you prefer a condo in Pelican Bay, then that is a dog of a different color. In Pelican Bay alone, there are 90 separate neighborhoods or clusters and the policies vary from pets being prohibited in Grosvenor or Chateaumere to a weight limit for one small dog in St. Lucia to multiple dogs of any size n Willowbrook.
As a professional Realtor® in the Naples area, we deal with this issue every day. The pet owner who is purchasing a property in Naples or Bonita Springs needs a real estate agent who is willing to do the research and confirm the pet policies for each neighborhood and community. Call us at (239) 272-4848 to help navigate through the pet policies.
Tarpon Cove – All neighborhoods in the Tarpon Cove Community allow owners 2 pets max with no weight or size limitations.

It has been over six years since my first divorce. Only now am I able to revisit it. From the beginning, I knew I would one day want to help others through the process; however, for a few years, I didn't want to think about it. I was tired of living, breathing divorce. It was exhausting and just as unhealthy as the marriage. Somehow the very word still makes me want to squeegee my tongue. Here we are in the year 2014 and the word, the very deed, still seems to hold a shamefulness or embarrassment around it. Now, as my second marriage is on the verge of following the same fate (via a far different path), I find it is time to reflect. How did I get to making those tough decisions? It is time to go back to those dark days and share my journey that led me to divorce. I can go back now with very little feeling. Time really does heal, if you let it.
A spark was lit from the moment I set foot in the mandatory divorce class for people with children. Looking around the large hollow room, dotted with angry and even sadder people, I knew I wanted to write about it and somehow help these people. I was sitting there happy as a clam. I wanted to giggle out loud because I was finally going to be free from an unhappy marriage. I wanted to run around that room, grab people by the arms and shake them senseless. "Wake up! It will be ok! Don't let your anger and sadness hurt you and your kids." Yes, I realize I wasn't the one being left. It was easier for me in some sense; I admit that. I admit it was easier, NOT EASY. I had my own demons visit me sometime later and their names were Guilt, Shame and Fear.
So what is my goal here? I want to help others by learning from my experience (my good, bad, and very ugly) of getting to and going through divorce. Deciding to leave someone takes every ounce of courage one can possess. People get hurt, there is no way around that, but realizing that there is a happier space in life is a powerful and wonderful promise. I am passionate about helping people going through divorce. I want people to learn from it. That is what is most important. Even if it wasn't your decision (which I hear often), I believe there must be a level of accepting some responsibility. There is something for you to learn about yourself. What is it? That is what I want to help others find out.
What seems like the end of the world is only the beginning of something better.
You are in control even though you may not feel like it.
I hope you will follow me as I reflect upon my journey.
Wow- I'm really glad I found you on this space. Thank you for sharing your obstacles and inspiration for people like us- it means you think so far beyond yourself- I think that is beautiful, so thank you from one stranger to another!
You made me feel good today. I really appreciate that!


What comes to one's mind when we talk about 'industry' and 'manufacturing'? Most probably heavy processes, assembly lines, raw manpower and other images of the first industrial revolution.

Q: Ruby - Setter methods for hash properties I've been tooling around with Ruby by converting a pen and paper RPG to a script.
Right now I have a character's stats kept in a hash, which I would like to be able to set via public method.  I got that working with:
class Character
    attr_reader :str, :con, :dex, :wis, :int, :level, :mods, :stats
    def initialize str, con, dex, wis, int, cha, level = 1
        @stats = { :str => str, :con => con, :dex => dex, :wis => wis, :int => int, :cha => cha }
        @mods = {}
        @level = level

        @stats.each_pair do |key, value|
            @mods[key] = ((value / 2 ) -5).floor
        end
    end

    def []=(index, value)
        @stats[index] = value
    end
end

This allows me to instantiate a new character, then update @stats by running newChar.stats[:str] = 12
However, I also seem to be able to modify the @mods using this method as well, which is undesirable.  newChar.mods[:str] = 15 will successfully alter the @mods hash, which from my understanding should not be possible with the current setter method.
On a slightly separate note, the iterator I'm using to create my @mods hash seems clunky but I haven't found anything better to accomplish the task.

A: You did not even call your []= method in your example. This would be done like so:
newChar[:str] = 123

instead of
newChar.stats[:str] = 123

so to call newChar.stats[:str] = 123 you do not even need you method definition. The reason is that newChar.stats as well as newChar.mods will both return the actual hash which can then be altered.
One possible workaround is to freeze the @mods variable so it can't be altered any more:
def initialize str, con, dex, wis, int, cha, level = 1
    # omitted ...

    @stats.each_pair do |key, value|
        @mods[key] = ((value / 2 ) -5).floor
    end

    @mods.freeze
end

This is a good solution if you never want to be able to change @mods again. Trying to set a value will result in an error:
newChar.mods[:con] = 123
# RuntimeError: can't modify frozen Hash

Inside your class, you can, however, overwrite @mods entirely.
To summarize, the full class would be:
class Character
    attr_reader :str, :con, :dex, :wis, :int, :level, :mods, :stats
    def initialize str, con, dex, wis, int, cha, level = 1
        @stats = { :str => str, :con => con, :dex => dex, :wis => wis, :int => int, :cha => cha }
        @mods = {}
        @level = level

        @stats.each_pair do |key, value|
            @mods[key] = ((value / 2 ) -5).floor
        end

        @mods.freeze
    end
end

A: If you need a public getter for a hash but you don't want the user to modify the hash –the instance-variable of your class–, you can do it with dup.
class MyClass
  ....
  def my_hash
    @my_hash.dup
  end
end

Where the solution with freeze, as mentioned above, will freeze the hash even for your class, the .dup-solution will let you modify the hash from within your class but not from outside.

LET'S TALK ABOUT ROMELU LUKAKU
April 2, 2018 April 2, 2018 Soccer Chatterbox 0 Comment Belgium, England, English Premier League, Europe, Lukaku, Manchester United
At the moment, Lukaku plays for the club that I prefer to loathe: Manchester United (yes, I said it…in fact, it got worse when Mourinho signed on to be the manager). He wears the number 9 shirt, which means he's the team's main striker (Hey…to those who want to talk about 'other' number 9s…shut it! I don't have time for that argument). Anyway, he recently scored his 100th goal in the English Premier League, making him the 28th player to do so in the last 26 years (Just 28? With the thousands of strikers playing in that time?). Also, he becomes the youngest foreigner to do so and the fifth youngest player overall to achieve this same feat. Having declared my dislike for the team he currently plays for, is this an appreciation article? Yes…yes it is.
I like to be a neutral…sometimes. First of all, I'm a football/soccer fan, before an Arsenal one. So I like to give credit when it is due. Doesn't matter what team you play in…if you're a great player, you're a great player…and Romelu Lukaku is a great player.
For years, I wished Wenger would sign him from Everton. Year after year, he gave further evidence of how well he was developing and how good he could be. A bulky frame that is capable of being quick and always primed to score is a winner any day. Add the fact that his best years are yet to come and you can imagine my frustration that he's in Manchester rather than North London (I love Aubameyang but Arsenal should have spent 60 million on Lukaku 2 years ago…would have been a smarter buy).
Like most strikers with his price tag, he's had his critics. Some believe that his touch is bad, or that he can't hold the ball up well enough, or that he's bad with combination play, or that he misses the easy chances, or that he can't score against the big teams, or he's not even good enough to play in a big team. It's a growing list of jabs that he has had to take every year since leaving Chelsea but like most good players, he's answered every critic since arriving at Man United.
His goal against Chelsea showed he can score against big teams, his first touch as he scored against Swansea recently put paid to whatever talk about his bad touch, the link-up with Martial, Sanchez, Pogba and Lingard in various games this season has been great to watch so he must be good at combination play, plus he's bagged over 20 goals this season for United so there goes the argument of being able to play for a big club.
My favourite thing about Lukaku is that he's always keen to prove critics wrong; that's an ambition for him. In every game, it's about shutting doubters up, one at a time. This is a trait not many players possess (if only Arsenal players could be like this every game). Mourinho recently hailed him as one of only 2 players in the United squad that has played at a 'high level' and I agree with that 100%.
Some years back, I didn't like talking about C.Ronaldo, because he played for United. I never wanted to admit that he was my favourite player. The moment he left to Real Madrid, I came out boldly from my closet (lol). I'm not saying that Lukaku is my favourite player (CR7 is still the man), but I have to state that it's time he gets the credit that is due. We're looking at a player that could seriously make a difference in Russia this summer and have an explosive start to league football next season. He could win the European Golden Boot at some point. You know why? Because he's not 25 yet and he has come this far. I'm excited to see what his peak will look like. We all should be.

When Nintendo recently announced their latest console – a home system/handheld hybrid named Switch – gamers around the world were almost unanimously positive about the reveal. With a confident swagger that was almost entirely absent from their announcement of the Wii U, Nintendo let everybody know that with the Switch they're going to try and do things properly this time, and that's great for fans of the Japanese gaming company and the types of experiences that only they create.
But while the reveal was certainly entertaining, showing off games like the new Zelda and a brand new Mario title, there was one aspect of the announcement that made my eyes light up as a fan of retro gaming – it uses cartridges instead of discs.
The return of cartridges is interesting for the system for a number of reasons, but as a man with a penchant for nostalgia and looking back on the past with rose-tinted glasses, seeing a cartridge being popped into a brand new games console brought memories flooding back that put a smile across my face.
Picture the scene: you're in your pyjamas on a Saturday morning in the early '90s and you've slapped Super Mario World into your SNES. Disaster strikes! You hit the power and nothing happens. The screen is just a mess of weird characters. It's broken. Never fear, the solution is at hand. You rip the cartridge out of the console, flip it upside down and spend ten seconds blowing into it to dislodge any dust that could potentially be causing your problem. You put the cartridge back in, and hey presto, you're stomping on goomba's heads in no time.
Blowing on cartridges was basically the solution to every problem with gaming back in the '90s. Today games ship broken and require sometimes hefty day one patches to download and sort them out. Online multiplayer modes often don't work at all for a day or two while servers buckle under the pressure. DRM can lock gamers out of titles they own and the PlayStation Network can crash and make some games unplayable. But back in the day, whenever your game didn't work, simply blowing on the cartridge would more often than not have you up and running in seconds.
Switch using cartridges gets the nostalgic juices flowing for anyone who grew up playing video games in the '80s and '90s, but that's not the only reason that the Switch looks to be a console that retro gamers will love. While the cartridges themselves might look old school enough to raise a smile, Nintendo's decision to ship games on them comes with some other added bonuses.
When gaming moved to disc-based storage in the mid-'90s the new technology allowed for higher quality graphics and music at the expense of the instant loading that cartridges could provide. N64 stuck with cartridges opting for the faster load times and a lower risk of piracy but that caused them to miss out on huge games like Final Fantasy VII that needed to be bigger than cartridges would allow. The N64 was handsomely bested by the original PlayStation, partly down to Nintendo's decision to continue using cartridges, and they switched to discs for their next console.
The cartridges of today are a much different story. They provide comparable storage to discs, allowing similar production values in games, while still keeping load times down to a minimum. As an added treat, cartridges also allow the player to make game saves directly onto the cartridge itself, meaning if you take your game to your friend's house you can carry on right from where you were without having to bother with a memory card or cloud saving.
In another ode to the gaming of yesteryear, Switch seems to be aiming to make local multiplayer an important part of the system. Since the rise of the Internet, local multiplayer gaming has taken a backseat to online co-op and competitive gaming. While being able to play a game of FIFA with your friend on the other side of the globe is certainly something that should be applauded about modern gaming, along the way we seem to have lost sight of the joy of inviting a few friends round, each grabbing a controller and having fun in the same room, without Internet connections and online chat.
Local multiplayer gaming has all but disappeared in recent years, with even titles like Halo - a series famed for its split-screen multiplayer – going online only in the most recent version. Switch seems to be designed in such a way that multiple gamers can get together with their consoles and play online while they're in the same room, and that's a very exciting idea.
Sure, today you could disconnect your TV and PS4 from your surround sound and bundle them into the back of your car, drive over to see a friend and set up a little gaming station in their living room to get some multiplayer action on the go, but it's not exactly intuitive, and it's definitely a chore. The hybrid nature of Switch means that you can put your console in a bag and you can go see a friend, playing on the convenient screen that is built into the console while your friend plays on their console either as a handheld or on the television.
Out of the console manufacturers still in the game today, Nintendo is the one with the most appeal to retro gamers. They've been around two generations longer than Sony, and three generations longer than Microsoft. Most of us who consider ourselves retro gamers grew up with some form of Nintendo hardware, or at least we saw other people with Nintendo hardware while we foolishly proclaimed SEGA to be the true kings of gaming. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, and that's something Nintendo hasn't been capitalizing on recently while they've been chasing wacky new ideas with the Wii and Wii U.
Switch looks like a console that will appeal to gamers both young and old. It'll have more games on it since they'll be joining their handheld and home console game libraries together going forward, but it also looks like it'll capture that magic of video gaming that many retro gamers feel is lost with modern systems. The portable nature of the system means that it can bring people together in ways that the competing consoles can't, and will allow Dad to play Mario on the big screen after work, and his daughter can carry on the game while they're in the car.
It's a novel idea, and it's nice to see Nintendo embracing some old school sensibilities when approaching this new system. Will it be a success? Only time will tell. But Nintendo needs a new direction, and sometimes, going back to basics is just what the doctor ordered.

What Is A Cargo Manifest In Shipping?
A cargo manifest is a consolidated list of all the cargo that is on board a cargo vessel. The list of all cargo carried on the vessel will appear under the vessel name and identification marks of the vessel.
It would also show the route taken by the vessel. A manifest, in general, is a complete list of the cargo or passengers. Just like the cargo manifest, the passenger manifest lists details of all the passengers who are onboard a ship or airplane. This list would include details of the crew members as well.
Typically, a cargo manifest would list all the bills of ladings along with the above details and the total number of goods being transported shown per bill of lading. However, the individual bills of ladings will be attached to this cover sheet.
We can see how the cargo manifest works in this example given below.
Customer A in Djibouti buys 1000 gensets from company B in Kolkata, India. Company B ships these gensets by a cargo vessel. The vessel carries other electrical goods and consumer durables meant for customers en route and in Djibouti.
The cargo manifest of the ship will show the 1000 gensets purchased by customer A as well as the other electrical goods and consumer durables that are shipped on the vessel for the other customers.
Customs authorities at the respective ports will need to review and confirm the cargo manifest against the actual cargo being unloaded at these destinations.
As we can see in this example, the cargo manifest is a very important document for the shipment of goods without which goods cannot be unloaded at their destination ports or loaded from their load ports.
Typical Contents of a Cargo Manifest
Generally, the following details are shown in cargo manifests:
Operator name and details
Document or Bill of Lading number
Quantity, type, and description of goods
Consignee information
Shipping route
Who Uses the Cargo Manifest and Why?
While the cargo manifest is important to all concerned parties to the cargo carried on the ship, most importantly, it is the port customs who require the cargo manifest to allow the ship to unload its cargo on the port. It is usually the responsibility of the chief officer of the ship to submit the cargo manifest to the port customs.
Also called the first mate, the chief officer is in charge of the cargo that is onboard the vessel. The loading, unloading, stowage, and lashing of the cargo all come under the chief officer's scope of responsibilities.
Answerable to the captain of the vessel, his duties may sometimes include the safety of the vessel and its sailors/passengers.
The typical cargo manifest lists all the goods that are on the ship though it may be meant for several different destinations. The details that it contains include the item name, quantity and weight of the item, type of item, the name and address of the consignor, and the name and address of the consignee that each item is headed to at the destination port.
In most cases, the cost of each item is also shown. The list is prepared according to the bills of ladings and the goods loaded from each port of call.
It is a convenient tick-list for the cargo vessel's first mate or chief officer as each consignment is offloaded at their destination ports.
The Different Shipping Manifests
Freight Manifest
While the cargo manifest shows the name of the item, quantity and weight of each item, type of the item, and the name and address of the consignor and consignee, the freight manifest will also show the freight charges for each consignment on board the vessel. This is done for the collection of freight charges from the consignor at the port of origin or the consignee of the shipment from the port of discharge. The freight manifest may also be used for the calculation of freight commission, etc.
Hazardous Cargo Manifest
The hazardous cargo manifest lists all those goods or hazardous materials (HAZMAT) that are classified as hazardous cargo, carried onboard the ship. The details are as provided by the shipper following the correct hazardous cargo classification. Without the correct details, hazardous cargo will not be loaded onboard a vessel. This manifest has to be provided to the port and customs authorities, following the stipulated guidelines, before the vessel sails from the load port or reaches the port of discharge.
The hazardous cargo manifest would also show the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) codes of such goods, Medical First Aid Guide (MFAG) details, etc.
The IMDG code is a set of directives for the shipping of dangerous goods by a transport vessel. It is issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and updated once every two years. When hazardous materials are packed, the shipper has the responsibility of following the IMDG codes in packing that ensure its safety during the transport.
MFAG is a guide that is published by the World Health Organization (WHO) for handling accidents that involve dangerous goods, especially chemicals. It lists safety measures, first aid, and emergency procedures that are to be followed in the case of an accident where dangerous chemicals are involved.
While onboard the cargo vessel, hazardous materials will follow a separate cargo stowage plan and handling instructions.
Examples of hazardous cargo are certain toxic or corrosive chemicals, compressed gases, radioactive materials, explosive materials, etc.
Reefer Manifest
A reefer or a refrigerated container is a shipping container that is used to transport cargo that is sensitive to extreme temperatures and temperature fluctuations.
Such cargo may consist of food items, pharmaceutical drugs, or sensitive electronic equipment that have to be stored and transported at specific temperatures and humidity levels.
A reefer normally operates using an internal refrigeration system or a genset. However, they may require external power during transportation over long distances.
A reefer manifest will have all the details of the refrigerated containers that are onboard the vessel for delivery to the different consignees at different destinations. The details would include the temperature settings, humidity settings, and other such requirements of the reefer containers onboard.
Out of Gauge Manifest
What is an Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo? An out of gauge cargo is cargo that cannot be packed in a box or does not conform to a square or rectangular packing. Also known as OOG cargo or AIL (Abnormal Indivisible Loads) such cargo may be abnormally shaped, sized, or have protrusions that require special packing and stacking requirements whether at storage or on the vessel. They do not fit into the normal shipping containers.
An out of gauge manifest will show the details of such cargo including its dimensions, weights, etc.
Examples for out of gauge cargo are blades of wind turbines, construction machinery, automobile trailers, etc.
Export Manifest and Import Manifest
Both the export and import manifest are the same as a cargo manifest. When it is submitted to the port customs at the time of the vessel's sailing out of the port it is called an export manifest. The manifest that is provided to the port customs prior to or upon arrival of a vessel to the port is the import manifest. The requirement for the submission of these manifests varies from port to port. However, the most common requirement is to submit the export manifest to the port customs prior to the sailing of the vessel from the load port. For the import manifest, the general requirement is for it to be submitted to the port customs of the destination port when the vessel leaves the last foreign port of call prior to landing at the port of discharge.
Most of the port customs of the world are strict about the submission of cargo manifests. Failure to abide by the requirements may result in goods not being allowed to be loaded on the vessel or offloaded from it.
It is the carrier agent at the port of loading who usually prepares the cargo manifest. This agent may send a copy of the cargo manifest to his counterparts at the destination ports so that they may submit it to their respective port customs. Other than this, the consignees are informed of the arrival of their respective cargoes by the carrier's agents at the discharge ports, upon receipt of the cargo manifest from the load port.
The cargo documentation can be said to be complete once the final cargo manifest is uploaded on the ocean carrier's computer system. To avoid further changes to the cargo manifest, the vessel's cargo system is locked after a certain period from the time of setting sail from the port of loading.
Can the Cargo Manifest be Changed?
Shipping companies have the occasional customer who wants to change some details of his shipped cargo. However, can this be done? What are the implications?
Port customs around the world are generally strict about making changes to the cargo manifest. This is because changes to certain details would call for changes to customs duties, etc.
Hence, changes to quantities, type of goods, HS codes, rates, etc. are usually not allowed. Customs authorities in certain ports impose a fine on corrections that can be made. There are also set deadlines after which changes are not allowed.
Changes to a cargo manifest may be made using a cargo manifest corrector option online. This form may also be filled offline and submitted in some cases.
It is prepared by the carrier agent at the port of loading and transmitted to the agent at the destination port, who gives it to the customs authorities there. The carrier agent will charge a manifest corrector fee for such corrections.
Automated Cargo Manifest
The port customs of countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, China, etc. require the manifest of a vessel to be submitted through the Automated Manifest System (AMS). Details of cargo carried on a vessel are required to be entered and uploaded in the AMS within the time-frames set by the authorities.
With increased vigilance for preventing terrorism, drug-smuggling, and other unlawful activities authorities impose large fines when the rules for submission of a vessel's cargo manifest to the AMS are not followed.
Sometimes shippers do not show the correct quantities of their cargo for escaping customs fees or charges. Failure to follow the rules or in maintaining the accuracy of cargo records can also result in the seizure of the cargo.
In exports and imports, it is mandatory to submit the manifests through proper channels such as the Automated Manifest System or otherwise, following the proper time-frames set by the authorities.
More and more countries have resorted to digitalizing maritime transactions to prevent fraud and manipulations. These days, evolving and fail-safe technologies help to monitor and record such transactions.
Cargo Manifest and Bill of Lading
The cargo manifest is sometimes confused with the bill of lading issued by the vessel operator or its agent. A cargo manifest is a single consolidated list of the multiple bills of lading and details of the cargo that are listed on them. On the other hand, a vessel operator may issue several bills of ladings to each of its customers.
A bill of lading is an acknowledgement by the carrier for the receipt of cargo onboard their vessel whereby it undertakes to transport it from point A to point B. Bill of ladings may be negotiable or non-negotiable.
To sum it up, the cargo manifest has all the information relating to the cargo except its freight charges. The freight manifest has the details that are contained in the cargo manifest, as well as the freight charges of these cargoes.
A reefer manifest will show the details of all the reefer containers carried on the ship. The hazardous cargo manifest shows details of the hazardous cargo on the ship while an out of gauge (OOG) manifest will list the details of all the cargo that are out of gauge and carried on the ship.
