BREAKING: Sex Scandal Hits Nigerian Army
Sex scandal hit Nigerian Army as some girls exposed soldiers of raping them in the barrack.
OnyxNews Nigeria quotes a report from SaharaReporters that some girls confessed that two female victims were tortured to death while others were routinely raped during the weeks they spent at the detention facility in Mogadishu Cantonement, also known as Abacha Barrack in Asokoro, Abuja.
Some soldiers of the Nigerian Army in Abuja have been accused of torturing and raping dozens of ladies arrested from Obigbo (Oyigbo) in Rivers State, between October and November 2020, during a raid in the area.

According to SaharaReporters, the accounts of two of the girls, although the audio clip could not be shared because of the assurance of anonymity and confidentiality given to the victims.
The girls confessed that two female victims were tortured to death while others were routinely raped during the weeks they spent at the detention facility in Mogadishu Cantonment.
The ladies were arrested from around a market in Obigbo on their way home from work between 7pm and 7.30pm on November 2020 and initially taken to the Nigerian Army base in Obinze Army Barracks, Owerri, Imo State.
From there, they were transported to Abuja and detained for "questioning" at Mogadishu Barracks, Abuja where many of them were subsequently routinely raped. See Also Sahara Reporters Governor Wike Will Account For Loss Of Lives In Obigbo, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Says.

"I was raped three times. The soldiers shouted on us. They came in the morning and in the evening. We could not easily pick their identities. One of us was beaten to death. She was taken out of the detention and never returned. There were many of us – around 50 girls," one of the victims said.
Another victim said, "I was arrested around the market square while returning from work. I was taken to Obinze barracks and from there the following day, we all found ourselves in Abuja. I was raped also. I secured my freedom through a lawyer only last week. Some of us were tortured as we were being raped."
A civic organsiation, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, from Owerri, Imo State, in a report on the incident, said at least 53 females were raided from Obigbo, and most of them are feared to have been sexually molested by the Nigerian Army personnel.
The report was signed by Emeka Umeagbalasi, the organisation's board chairman, Barrister Obianuju Igboeli, Head of Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, and others.
"The 53 young girls and women and others in non-menopausal age bracket, were abducted by the Nigerian Army in Obigbo, Rivers State, and serially raped for weeks by its soldiers at the Mogadishu (Abacha) Barracks in Abuja.

"All the suspects, from our several investigations, were engaged in different types of legitimate occupation and other lawful social activities before the raid by the army.
"Retired Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, as immediate past Chief of Army Staff, chillingly left a legacy of monstrosity and barbarism in the Nigerian Army. It is a height of abomination for soldiers of the Nigerian to have degraded themselves to the extent of engaging in serial rape and other abominable sexual violence against innocent and defenceless women inside the Mogadishu Barracks – a place not far away from the Headquarters of the Nigerian Army in Abuja," the report said.
The group called for an independent government's investigation of the incident, while demanding that Buratai and other culpable serving and retired military officers be brought to justice.

Hearst Tries a New iPad Pitch: "Read Them Here First"
January 17, 2013 at 2:14 pm PT
Looking for a reason to buy an iPad edition of a magazine? Hearst hopes this will do the trick: Readers who buy the publishers' titles from Apple's Newsstand will get them before anyone else — on or offline.
This feature appears to have popped up today, and there doesn't seem to be any other details about the offer, like the number of days in advance that Newsstand buyers will get their iPad editions. I've asked Hearst for more information.
[UPDATE: A few more tidbits, via Hearst pr's Alexandra Carlin: She says the length of Newsstand buyers' headstart "varies", depending on publication, and that the offer applies to single copy sales as well as subs. As far as the deal's origins: "Apple suggested this initiative, and it's a great offer they can provide to their newsstand users. We're always working with our retail partners on unique ways to drive consumer sale and engagement."]
Right now, Hearst is the only publisher offering the option, for 22 of its titles. An Apple rep says it will be happy to let other publishers try the same thing.
This looks like the first time any publisher has tried an early digital "window" for their magazines, anywhere. Hollywood has recently warmed to the same idea when it comes to selling their movies online.
Bigger context for the tweak: Magazine publishers, who were once giddy about the prospects of selling their titles via the iPad, have sobered up.
The general consensus: Tablet editions are a nice revenue stream that in some cases brings publishers new readers, and in others helps them hang onto existing print subscribers, via online/offline bundles. But they're not enough to save many publishers from the decline of their print businesses — a reality that Time Inc. staffers are bracing for as they get ready for long-reported and significant layoffs.
Earlier this month, Hearst Magazine boss David Carey told his employees that the company had reached 800,000 paid digital subscribers by the end of 2012. We'll talk to him about where he goes next in a few weeks, at our D: Dive into Media conference. See you there …

Just as the atom bomb was the weapon that was supposed to render war obsolete, the Internet seems like capitalism's ultimate feat of self-destructive genius, an economic doomsday device rendering it impossible for anyone to ever make a profit off anything again. It's especially hopeless for those whose work is easily digitized and accessed free of charge.

The announcement by the government that a determined drive is launched to source pulses from M3 (Mozambique, Malawi and Myanmar) countries via the government-to-government route—through PSUs—officially confirms that India desperately needs pulses due to continuous decline in its annual output. The severity of shortages, as of now, of about 5 million tonnes (lentils, chickpeas and peas)—though in public domain (output of 17-18 MT versus usage of 23MT)—is officially endorsed and made known worldwide.
The mismatch in the production and consumption will exacerbate in the future and so will the market prices. It is quite queer that what we cannot manage domestically, we are expecting lesser developed nations to do for us, especially in agriculture.
The official ban on chana futures in NCDEX in June 2016, to avoid hyper-speculation, also reinforces the fear of the government of impending scarcity of about 2-2.5 MT of chickpea. The seriousness of the policy-makers to contain pulses inflation through market intervention by acquiring government stocks and to prevent speculative hoarding cannot be doubted. Prudence lies in also quickening the pace of import of yellow peas and chickpeas from Canada, the US, Australia, France, Ukraine, etc, which can be delivered faster locally through distribution channels.
Pulses are not easily obtainable in world market, and are quite distinct from other agro commodities like edible oil, wheat, sugar, corn, etc, which are accessible in plenty internationally with multiplicity of sellers and are trading at future exchanges. Thus, competitive values can be assessed.
Some times it is believed that crude-oil-importing PSUs like Indian Oil Corporation and others conclude mega-million-dollar contracts easily and therefore procurement of pulses likewise should not pose a problem. Crude oil is available abundantly at internationally-quoted prices in all oil exchanges—CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), DME (Dubai Mercantile Exchange) and ICE (International Commodity Exchange). This lends transparency to contracts, which can be objectively audited. The Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation also concludes annual contracts of iron-ore with Japan, but then there is a basis of assessment by comparing with Australian, Brazilian or South African ore.
Pulses have no such mechanism of spot or futures trade anywhere in the world. The price discovery in M3 countries is totally opaque and may not match for the same type of pulses. Lentil prices may vary in broad spectrum of $400-1,500 landed, depending upon dynamics of market. Since India cannot buy surreptitiously the way China does, our demand and urgency is well-publicised to our disadvantage.
It is a figment of imagination that by considering such government-to-government import deals of pulses, the supply-demand gap could be totally bridged. First, the total surplus available with these three countries may be less than 2 MT and that they have other international buyers too to sell, including Indian private trade. If India insists that the entire extra production be made available to the government, they will demand a steeply hiked price compared to the ruling trading values which will require greater subvention in local market. The cost of acquisition then cannot be readily compared with other origins, and fundamentally the deal gets so structured that loss must be made. Terms of payment may involve advance payment, which entails greater risk if delivery is defaulted.
Unlike India, these M3 countries do not have public sector entities as counter-parties for contracting and implementation. Will then Indian PSUs finalise business with private traders "nominated" by M3 countries? In any case, even if 1 MT is annually imported by the government from M3 countries, it would be a creditable achievement.
Dispatching a delegation initially, doing recce about the sellers and exploring logistic modalities may be fine. But for finalising terms of trade, the leader of the delegation should be vested with authority to conclude contract on the basis of a single bid from each of these countries, which will eventually happen. The current system in the government does not allow flexibility of finalisation of sale without a tender, and requires at least three bids at the same time/day. Any reference for decision-making to an inter-ministerial committee will be counterproductive.
If India wishes to have a government-to-government deal, it will have to modify procedures and rules for such a purchase.
* Counter-parties from M3 countries can be their official undertaking or "nominated private parties". What has been their past experience of trade in pulses has to be left to the discretion of M3 countries, though the Indian side may have informal evaluation of their capabilities to perform. This will need acceptance from Indian authorities.
* Dispense with the tender system and rely upon "negotiated" price, tonnage, quality, delivery or terms of payment on an annual basis. For this, suitable relaxation is required from a competent authority (permission from such a deviation from India's bureaucratic system looks improbable).
* Since private parties will also be importing in parallel in small lots—and may be at "cheaper prices"—the price/terms negotiated by PSUs may not be subject to scrutiny by audit/vigilance. This is because for a large tonnage on an annualised basis the price of pulses will be much higher than those negotiated by private players for smaller tonnages and shorter delivery. Will audit not question such a loss to national exchequer?
* Any dispute resolution/litigation in India as per Indian terms may "not" be agreed to by M3 countries. Discretion to this effect needs authorisation.
* The quantum of subsidy for disposal of pulses on government account may be decided well in advance, for quick disposal at discounted prices. If the government dithers or drags on subsidy, landed cargo will remain warehoused and market will remain starved.
* The entire gamut of this operation means buying at high prices and selling at low prices, at a loss depending upon market conditions, by debit to the Consolidated Fund of India. Will that be politically-convenient, though such a loss can be justified for socio-economic reasons?
Without these radical deviations authorised in black and white, the success of government-to-government transactions is highly doubtful. Even if one or two contracts are concluded, they will not be able to withstand scrutiny of integrity by audit and vigilance.

Indulgence can be dangerous. When you indulge an only child, you tend to spoil the child rotten. When you indulge too much in alcohol, it turns into an addiction. Similarly, when you indulge in a script idea too much, you can end up spoiling it. And when you indulge in a movie for over two and half years, you can end up spoiling the movie, too.
I suffers from that kind of indulgence. The film's central plot is a simple one of revenge. An innocent man who climbs the ladder of success ruffling some feathers along the way is destroyed in an inimitable manner. The destroyed man now sets out to seek revenge against those who destroyed him, in inimitable manners. This story is told in Shankar's grandiose manner with larger-than-life sets and imagery.
For those seeking more detail, Lingeshan (Vikram) is a bodybuilder with a single-point agenda: winning the Mr. India competition. He is also a super fan of a model Diya (Amy Jackson). Certain circumstances force Lingeshan to become a model, and he quickly climbs the rungs of fame and becomes a super model. One day Lingeshan disappears, and a hunchback begins taking revenge against the people who were responsible for Lingeshan's disappearance. The relation between the hunchback and Lingeshan is revealed over a painstaking 2 hours, and the revenge of the hunchback is shown for another hour.
Shankar indulges in I, like we said before. He writes in grandiose fights, spectacular locations, concept-based songs and some inconceivable scientific situations into his screenplay. And after shooting each of these as labours of love, he seemed not to have found the heart to cut out any of them on the editing table. And that is where I suffers - the film's length could easily have been cut by 30-40 minutes.
The other problem with I is the lack of a big reveal. The entire flashback should ideally have been wrapped up in the first half, leaving the second free for the revenge payoff. The screenplay toggling between the past and the present can also prove confusing for some of the audience.
Today and forever, when people speak about I, they will certainly speak about Vikram. The man's ability to completely transform himself for the character is astounding, and the torture he must've put himself through is unimaginable. He also manages to emote under all his heavy prosthetics. Irrespective of the fate of I, this is a once-in-a-lifetime role, and Vikram gives it his all.
Amy Jackson serves to prove that there are people even Shankar cannot extract performances from. The villains are played by Suresh Gopi, Upen Patel, a Vijay Mallya look-alike and a stereotypical gay stylist (Ojas M Rajani), and they all put in hate-worthy performances.
The technical values are mind-boggling. The songs are all shot with concepts each better than the other, and in eye-popping locations that make you wonder if they are real or computer-generated. The cinematography by P C Sriram is of top quality. The music and background score by A R Rahman fit the situations to the T, and elevate the stunt sequences several notches.
I is Shankar's indulgence multiplied many times over. It is very well-conceived, brilliantly shot and all that, but it is also too long to sit through. The amount of detail actually works against this film. If you are in the mood for some brilliance and some gory visuals, watch I, else go get a dekko at the new God in town.
The movie is just a 1 time watch but definitely 1 of Vikram's best performances; right up there with Sethu, Pithamagan and Anniyan. They should've cut short I by at least 30 mins.
Excellent movie. Plz go and watch. Worth watching.
Watch this movie only for Vikram's performance and stunning visuals.

When it comes to buying books about motherhood, there are a few things you need to keep in mind in order to get the best possible deal. The first thing you need to do is set a budget for yourself. Decide how much money you are willing to spend on a book before you start shopping. This will help you narrow down your choices and make sure you don't overspend. Keep in mind that many stores offer discounts for purchasing multiple books at once. So, if you're looking to buy more than one book, it's definitely worth checking the store's discount policy.
Another option to get the best deal on books about motherhood is to wait for sales. Major retailers will often have sales on popular titles a few times per year. By waiting for a sale, you can usually get a book at a significantly lower price than the regular retail price.
Finally, it is important to think about where you will be reading the book. If you plan on reading the book primarily at home, then it does not make sense to spend a lot of money on a hardcover edition. However, if you plan on traveling with the book or taking it to the beach, then spending a bit more money on a durable edition makes sense.
Here are a few tips to help you buy the best books about motherhood:
Look for well-reviewed books about motherhood. Checking out what other readers have said about a book can give you a good idea of whether it's worth your time. You can find reviews online or in newspapers and magazines.
Consider the author's reputation. If you're familiar with an author's other work and liked it, there's a good chance you'll enjoy their new book.
Think about what you want to get out of the book. If you're looking for a light read, something funny, or a book that will make you think, you can narrow down your options by looking for books that fit those descriptions.
Check the price. Sometimes, you can find great deals on new books about motherhood. But be careful of cheaply made books, they might not be worth your money.
Take a look at the return policy. Some online stores will not accept returns on certain items, so it's important to know what the policy is before buying anything.
Ask for recommendations. Talk to your friends, family, and fellow book lovers to see if they have any suggestions.
By doing all of these things, you can be sure that you're getting the best possible deal on books about motherhood when you shop online.

Random Manual Audit of poll results on today
Published May 15, 2019, 12:21 AM
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) starts today the Random Manual Audit (RMA), a process required by the law to assure that the Vote Counting Machines used in Monday's midterm elections were accurate in reporting the results of the election.
The Comelec randomly selected 715 polling precincts nationwide. Starting today and for the next two weeks, the Comelec and its citizen arm for this election, the Legal Network for Truthful Elections (LENTE), will manually count the votes cast in the 715 precincts. They expect to do 50 to 60 precincts a day.
The manual count will then be compared with the results spewed out by the voting machines last Monday.
Since automated elections began in 2010, there have been questions raised by some quarters about the accuracy of the poll counts, especially after seeming irregularities in remote parts of the country. Critics say the automated system, like any computer system, can be hacked and, therefore, interfered with.
Automated elections, some have pointed out, were stopped and declared unconstitutional in certain countries in Europe notably Germany and Netherlands, on the issue of transparency.
Despite these developments in certain nations abroad, the Philippines has maintained its confidence in automated elections, especially since these put an end to weeks and months of waiting for final results in national polls under the old system.
The manual count which starts today will show if indeed the voting machines have been tampered with to show results in favor of certain candidates. There may be some differences, as was shown in the ongoing poll protest case between former Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Leni Robredo, due to improper marking by some voters of circles opposite the candidates' names.
"We will report what we see. Whatever the implication is, we will report what we see," Comelec Commissioner Louie Tito Guia said.
If, at the end of the Radom Manual Audit process, there are there are corrections or adjustments that must be made, we are confident the Comelec will be equal to the task. The important thing is that the people's faith is maintained in our automated elections, the heart of our democracy.

By using electrocardiographic examination, 14 Purebred Arabian horses, 12 males and two females, disqualified due to exhaustion in endurance races from 60 and 160km were evaluated. Predominance of sinus tachycardia, followed by sinus arrhythmia and atrial premature complex, with the heart rate ranging from 48 to 78bpm, and 93 to 111bpm, respectively, were observed. There was increase in the amplitude of waves P, R, S, and T, and decrease in their durations, as well as reduction in the intervals and segments; nevertheless, the QRS complex was not almost altered. The QTc lengthening pointed to a moderate myocardial fatigue in response to exercise, and the elevation of ST was indicative of hypovolemia. The electrical axis in frontal plane presented deviation to the right, chamber increase, and hypertrophy secondary to training.

Finally, there is a 'Rio Classic Tour,' that touches upon many of the most famous landmarks and beaches which make Rio such a unique and beautiful place to visit. These tours start at R$150 per person, with discounts available for group bookings.
She adds, "But it was during the Olympics when we put all the pieces together. We were both working freelance for one of the sponsors of the Dutch 2016 Olympics team, the Volkswagen distributor of the Netherlands called Pon. And the founder of this company, Ben Pon, happened to be the designer of the very first VW bus!" She explains.
Wetzl adds. "We also thought about the Kombi's long association with Brazil, and how Rio is a hot spot for surfing, so it just seemed like a perfect combination." These vehicles are famous for their close association with sixties 'hippie' counterculture and surfers. However, what many tourists may not know is that they are also a Brazilian icon.
The legendary VW Bus is famous all over the world, but it is arguably Brazil that loves this van the most. Production of the van, which started in the fifties, only just stopped in 2013. And it's still very common to see the VW Bus used as a leisure vehicle or as a working vehicle on the streets of Rio.
The VW Kombi has a close link to Brazil, being produced in this country for over half a century, and being employed by everyone from the army to football teams to hippies, photo internet reproduction.
These tours are perfect for anyone looking to experience Rio in a unique and authentic way, as well as surfers, families, and those who like to immerse themselves in a bit of living history while encountering all the new experiences that Rio has to offer.


Welcome to the fresh new Diginate!

We've also added a new art paper product – Smooth Art 220. It has all the great qualities of our Smooth Art Paper – acid free, archive quality German rag paper, but in a slightly lighter weight. Smooth Art Paper is now Smooth Art 300 to denote it's weight, and the percentage of happy you'll be with your finished print.
If you'd like to get a feel for all of our new products you can order our brand new sample pack now – it ships free within the UK and for a small postage fee overseas.

Europeans believed in an orthodox theology, whether Catholic or Protestant. English, French, and Spanish settlements each established a state church and prosecuted dissenters from what they considered "the one, true faith."
Indigenous peoples were more tolerant of new beliefs and ways of connecting with the divine. Yet Powhatan, Algonkin, Huron, and Pueblo peoples all encountered newcomers who expected them to abandon their religious beliefs and embrace European ones.
The Jamestown colonists did not share the intense sense of Christian mission that marked the Puritans in New England. Still, many were sincere Anglican believers. By 1668 there were sixty-two churches. Dispersed settlement on tobacco plantations inhibited regular church attendance, and the colony had difficulty attracting English clergymen to remote New World parishes.
Commerce dominated Québec in the earliest years, but the city also felt the impact of the Counter-Reformation, a Catholic resurgence against the tide of Protestantism. Within a few years, Recollet missionaries, Ursuline nuns, and Jesuit priests settled in New France, where they established churches, schools, and hospitals. French authorities banned dissenting Protestants (Huguenots) from the colony, which further limited the number of immigrants into New France. Québec became the first parish of New France in 1664 and the first bishopric of North America in 1674.
The ranking Franciscan prelate who arrived in 1611 hoped to eliminate civil authority entirely, making New Mexico exclusively a missionary province. After the Pueblo Revolt and re-conquest in 1692-93, returning priests were few, fearful, and more respectful of the civil and political authority needed to protect them. Like New France, New Mexico became less a religious endeavor and more a political project in the late 1600s.

Fareham Hockey Club, together with City of Portsmouth Hockey Club, will be celebrating the life of Academy Coach Pete Atkins who sadly passed away on Boxing Day, 2017.
Pete was a larger than life character who dedicated his life to the sport we all love. Pete's experience spans from our current crop of U12's, to coaching both Cookie and Lemmo as juniors. Yes, that's who you have to blame lol !
Pete was widely regarded as the best junior coach in the South and probably across the country, and his achievement of coaching 4 Olympians over the period of 1988 – 2012 is a truly remarkable feat.
So, how do we celebrate the life of this amazing man I hear you ask? Well, members of both clubs have held a few meetings and decided what better that a fun filled day of hockey spanning all ages.
We have also set up the 'Pete Atkins Youth Hockey Foundation' to offer support to youngsters trying to make their way in the game and to offer coaching to the local community.
We have contacted all of Pete's Olympians and 3 have offered their services for the day. Sadly, Athens 2004 Goalkeeper, Jimi Lewis is away coaching the GK's for the German National side.
The first of 2 scratch games, where everyone and anyone can join in the fun.
An exhibition game between a UK Lions team and a combined Fareham / City of Portsmouth Side will take place.
To finish the day there will be a continuous roll up game for anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Pete, followed by raising a few glasses in his honour in the clubhouse.
There will be an auction on the day of various Sporting Memorabilia with all profits going to the foundation.
Participation – Let's get as many Club Members there as possible.
Cake Baking – for sale on the day, all profits to the foundation.
Pete Atkins memorial T-shirts for sale.
We are aiming to get as many people wearing a memorial t-shirt shirts on the day as possible!

Eco-friendly Product Design
As part of its efforts to ensure the eco-friendliness of its products, starting with the very design stage, KPB adopted a product life cycle assessment program in 1998 and applied it to the testing of its phenol products in 1999 and BPA products in 2000. The objective of the life cycle assessment is to gather accurate data on the environmental impact of a given product, in a scientific and systematic manner, throughout the product's given life cycle starting with the development of raw materials to the product's disposal. The resulting data provide objective bases for improving manufacturing processes and also for securing environmental certificates on Type-III products.
In 2008, the company began to develop eco-friendly single-liquid water-borne epoxy resins for ships that would be both cost-effective and eco-friendly.

(company-specific) Approved EXporter
This system has been introduced to provide support for time and cost savings at the time of issuing a certificate of origin as an increasing number of countries have signed free trade agreements.
A system where the customs authorities provide any exporter approved as capable of proving the origin of the goods with such benefits as simplified procedures for the issuance of certificates of origin, omission of the submission of attached documents, etc.
* Korea-EU FTA : In the case of the exportation of any consignment consisting of originating products whose total value exceeds 6,000 euros, only an approved exporter can self-issue a certificate of origin.
* Korea-ASEAN, China, India, Singapore, Vietnam FTA : Submission of attached documents may be omitted when applying for the issuance of a certificate of origin.
* Korea-EFTA FTA : When an exporter self-issues a certificate of origin, such exporter's signature may be omitted.
Differences between the company-specific AEX and the product-specific AEX.
ㅇThe company-specific approved exporter system is a blanket authorization system where the procedures for issuing a certificate of origin are operated in a simplified way for all the free trade agreements and all the export goods.
ㅇThe product-specific approved exporter system is a system where the procedures for issuing a certificate of origin are operated in a simplified way after granting authorization as an approved exporter for each relevant FTA and the six digits of each relevant HS code.
AEO (Authorized Economic Operator)
An authorized economic operator (AEO) is a "party involved in the international movement of goods in whatever function that has been approved by or on behalf of a national customs administration as complying with the World Customs Organization (WCO) or equivalent supply chain security standards." Authorized Economic Operators include companies and parties concerned that are related to logistics such as importers, exporters, transporters, transportation brokers, warehouses operators, and customer brokers. The AEO concept was established by the WCO and the international community to ensure the security and smooth movement of goods in response to the U.S. trade security measures, which were reinforced after the September 11 attacks.
The introduction of the AEO program enables customs administrations to reject existing practices that had granted selective benefits of customs clearance procedures, which are based on fragmentary standards by the distributor and instead, evaluate the sincerity all distributors based on integrated standards. Consequently, once recognized as excellent, the company can enjoy comprehensive benefits in customs processes, which range from customs clearance for import and export to tax payment.
Three Features of the Korea AEO System
1. The integrated operation of the Business Evaluation System and the Security0 Management System can avoid the overlapping evaluation of a company.
2. The internal control system of a company is autonomously strengthened to increase the degree of law compliance.
3. The ASC concept is more specified. The Korean AEO system is focused on giving benefits by connecting overseas export networks with domestic import networks. Once an AEO status is given to all relevant companies, such as overseas producers and transporters (exporters), international transportation brokers, domestic cargo handlers, warehouse operators, customs brokers, and importers, they can receive unprecedented benefits.
Responsible Care (RC) is a global initiative with regard to the environment, safety and health, where most of the developed countries and multinational companies are involved. This is the most comprehensive and long-term program practiced by the chemical industry. RC is a concept that even covers the local residents' safety and the employees' health by complementing the existing ISO 1400 (Environment Management), which was mainly engaged in the environment. It is also a voluntary management movement where companies participate with responsibility, which is different from existing regulations-centered environmental policies.
Even though the chemical industry has played a pivotal role in all the industries, it has been recognized as a culprit in the current negative issues because of the emphasis on the risks of chemicals. In this context, the purpose of this initiative is for chemical companies to have more endeavors to ameliorate environmental safety, thus simultaneously recovering its reliability and improving its image.
After adopting RC in 1992, Korea established the Korea Responsible Care Council (www.krcc.or.kr) in December 1999 and became a member of the Responsible Care Leadership Group in September 2000. Factory 1 of Kumho P&B Chemicals has also been actively engaged in the RC initiative after signing a voluntary agreement.
Germanischer Lloyd (now DNV GL) is a global certificate authority, as well as a leading technical advisor in the fields of maritime, oil and gas, and energy industries.
Our company has first acquired GL Certificates, KER-9100, 9200, 9500, and 9900 (Adhesives), for four products among epoxy resin products, which are used as composite for wind farm blades, automobiles, ships, and more.

The 'La La Land' Pool Party House Is for Sale. See Inside the Stunning $6.45-Million Mansion
By Shaina Mishkin
In star-studded Los Angeles, even houses have film credits. A modern Encino mansion whose infinity pool set the stage for an opulent party in the 2016 musical comedy La La Land is on the market for $6.45 million.
The Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone flick may have been the home's breakout role, but that's not the only time it has appeared on screen. The mansion is also featured in such shows as Modern Family, NCIS: LA and Ballers, among other television spots, according to a feature on Realtor.com.
Described in its listing as an "architectural gem found in a vast market of repetition," the house was not originally built to be a star. According to Mansion Global, the home was built by a construction company in 2012. While it was meant to sell like any other house, those plans changed when the home "started getting the business opportunities," shortly afterwards, the home's listing agents told Mansion Global, and has "never technically been lived in."
In addition to its famous pool, limestone patio and indoor-outdoor space built for entertaining, the 9,200-square-foot home comes with six bedrooms, an indoor theater, an elevator and a chef's kitchen, according to its listing. See photos of the home below:
The modern home, which comes with a pool and guest house, was featured in La La Land

Its limestone patios, infinity pool and sundeck are made for outdoor entertaining, according to the home's listing.
A winding staircase is centers this common area.
Floor-to-ceiling windows show off the home's outdoor features.
It comes with six bedrooms, according to the real estate listing.
Described as a "chef's kitchen," the cooking space features marble elements and stainless steel fixtures, according to the home's listing.
The home is a "prime example" of Encino's recent contemporary development, the home's co-listing agent told Realtor.com.

Vinicius wants to renew his deal with Madrid
Tite not selecting Vinicius for the Brazilian national squad was a disappointment. Still, Vinicius Junior is simply focusing on improving at Real Madrid, and the forward has admitted that he wants to renew with the Spanish giants. He is currently one of the most in-form footballers in world football right now, and Los Blancos are finally starting to see him reach his vast potential. However, the player has no interest in the drama, which usually arrives with contract negotiations; he just wants to stay in Madrid. "Of course, I want to renew," Vinicius told reporters. "I want to stay here for a long time, but I am very calm with all that, all at the right time.
It's imperative to keep the Brazilian happy and tied to the club
"The contract I have is still the one from when I was 16; it doesn't matter when I'm going to renew, how much I'm going to earn; what matters is the satisfaction of being at the best team in the world." Real Madrid are acutely aware that Vinicius's next renewal will be a huge one, although he is currently contracted to the club until 2025 with one of the lowest salaries in the first-team squad. If they really wanted to, they could keep him on a low salary and continue to work on signing Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. However, that would be dangerous business given how much the Brazilian could seen be worth on the market; it is imperative to keep him happy and tied to the club.
The relationship at the present moment between the player and the Spanish club is excellent; his message to Brazilian television will go down well with those in power at Valdebebas, although they had hoped to wait until next season to complete the next raft of contract extensions. Vinicius is very grateful to Real Madrid for trusting him at just 16 years of age, paying 45 million euros to Flamengo for his services, and he now wants to repay them.

Iain MacTavish vs. Kit and Jade
by BuggyPumpkin
by Brabbit
tags: sad elf, tiny child
Buggy- sorry that life happend i wish you the best moving forward and good luck with Heavyweight and I hope this doesn't weigh on you or slow you down. I will say i do like the way you drew Kit and Jade in this.
Brabbit: I love your stories and how sweet you make them. it's really special just how pure you're characters and really refreshing honestly. I do like the backgrounds here there are there enough to give a good sense of location and have some details. I will disagree with the proportion crit at least for this comic, since this primarily contains 3 characters and the older character being an elf him looking young is fine for me, however this is something you should think about moving forward when they come across varied characters with more body types.
My main crit would be with shading. You do some nice pencil shading on Iain's under coat on page 5 and 7 and i wish that was present in more parts of the characters to help add some more depth to them, like on Iain's collar. Beyond that good job with the comic and I look forward to seeing more Kit and Jade as beams of Hope Void kind of needs.

Buggy - Ah so sorry to hear that dude Hope stuff eases up soon. Also, the style you used to draw yourself on the last page was super cute and I've never seen it before? Would honestly be interested in seeing you try a comic in that style!
Brabbit - Aw, this was a sweet comic. I especially enjoyed Jade's adorable expressions and the montage on page 4 - I didn't notice on my first read, but I really liked the subtle changes such as more notes on the pinboard in the background as the days went on! Speaking of backgrounds, I personally liked how you did them and didn't feel they were too minimal. You had the right balance of the occasional very detailed panel, then a couple of lines in other panels to imply the scenes we've seen before. There were only a few times where I thought "hm, too plain".
I second Flytee with the proportions though, and I also feel the story was a bit shallow. On page 11 Kit says he hopes they help with "whatever's hurting his heart so much" but Iain doesn't seem all that hurt throughout the comic. He's very willing to help, not grumpy and never really appears troubled outside his internal monologue. You show a lot of Jade's eagerness to learn, maybe one of those moments, the focus could have been on Iain seeming down. The audience knows Iain has some emotional baggage, but since it's not really shown here, it seems a bit of a jump for Kit to interpret a vaguely pessimistic conversation as Iain's heart "hurting so much". Additionally, the wording of the monologue on that page doesn't flow well and lessens the emotional impact. "I guess it seems like not much to you... but to me it means so much" might read better if written as "I guess it doesn't seem like much to you... but it means so much to me".

Buggy: We understand, life happens, there's always next time!
Brabbit: This comic was so sweet I think I have tooth decay. I love how expressive you make the characters and I got a really good sense of movement and energy from them. The colorless characters on the gray backgrounds really helped the characters pop. I think about my only gripe is maybe adding more detail to the backgrounds? Some of them do seem a little like they were an after thought. (I always feel bad critiquing people because I always point out stuff I'm SUPER GUILTY of...) This was a great comic overall and I'm really looking forward to reading more from you!

Buggy: Gah, sorry life got the best out of you, but it was nice to see that you had something really good planned. Your style is really pretty!
Brabbit: I think my favorite page is the 4th one. Good way to depict how time passed between Iain and Jade practicing. Quite the fan of keeping the backgrounds gray, and making the characters stand out.

buggy- maybe next time!
Brabbit- The cute art and sentimental writing came together to create a very wholesome comic. In terms of crit I don't have a lot, I feel like you had a vision in mind, and you nailed it.
I do have a minor gripe with the proportions of the characters. It makes it kinda difficult to pinpoint their ages, since everyone has large heads and big eyes. I think being mindful of conveying age in the future could be an interesting step.

Ма́ртин Блажо́вский (Блажевский) (; ? — около 1628) — польский , ,  XVII века.

Биография
Родился в XVI веке, предположительно, в с. Блажев (ныне Самборского района Львовской области Украины).

В 1606 году перевёл на польский язык продолжение «Энеиды» Вергилия — «Об Энее троянском» (O Aeneaszu trojańskim) книгу поэта XV века Маффео Веджио ().

В 1607 году, во время рокоша Зебжидовского, встал на сторону короля Сигизмунда III. Тогда же написал стихотворный трактат «Tłumacz rokoszowy powiatu ruskiego» (Переводчик Рокошовый русинского повята). В 1608 году опубликовал и, вероятно, перевёл сборник переведенных с итальянского языка басен и притч Джованни Марии Вердидзотти «Setnik przypowieści uciesznych» (Краков, 1608), из которых несколько было переделано позднейшими польскими баснописцами.

В 1611 году им переведена на польский язык латинскую хронику Мартина Кромера «O sprawach, dziejach i wszystkich innych potocznościach koronnych polskich ksiąg XXX» («О делах, истории и всех других текущих событиях польских коронных книг XXX» (Краков, 1611), во втором издании в «Zbiór historyków polskich» ксендза Фр. Богомольца (Варшава, 1767).

Days before that, though, he went on a tangent about losing out on three women "who were wife worthy."
When another fan asked if Erica Mena was within that trio, Shad admitted she was, calling her "the best lady he's ever had in his life."
The gushing didn't end on Twitter. He migrated to Instagram, where he explained that though they're no longer together, he will "never stop loving her."
The world is under the impression that Erica doesn't feel the same, seeing as she said their relationship was a non-factor not that long ago. When one of the former 106 & Park host's fans filled him in on the jab in his IG comments, Erica came flying in, saying, "Shad knows me very well... I know him very well. It's unfortunate how things ended up between us both."
Catch up with Erica and Shad's recent drama with BET Breaks above.

Photos show what Pokémon's wildly popular London pop-up is like to visit
I visited London's Pokémon pop-up store that people are waiting 8 hours to get into, and it was a huge disappointment
Harry Kersh
Pokemon Center London
Harry Kersh / Insider
Pokémon opened a pop-up shop in London to celebrate the upcoming release of "Pokémon Sword" and "Pokémon Shield."
The shop has been incredibly popular, with London's Westfield shopping center saying they've "never had queues this long before."
I visited to get a first-hand look at the store and the queues, and there were even more people waiting than I had expected.
Some people traveled from as far away as Hong Kong and were left empty-handed.
While the exclusive merchandise is cool, the size of the store was underwhelming and the experience didn't seem worth the enormous wait times.
Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
As a London resident and huge Pokémon fan, it's safe to say I was excited to hear a pop-up shop was opening in London to celebrate the release of its newest games "Sword" and "Shield," which were set in a region based on the United Kingdom.
Pokémon stores are known as Pokémon Centers, named after the buildings in the games where you heal your Pokémon. The London pop-up is the first-ever Pokémon Center in Europe. There are 12 stores in Japan, a handful in the US, and one in Singapore.
The London store promised to offer Pokémon fans exclusive merchandise, including a London-themed Pikachu wearing a bowler hat and a London pin badge. Fans would also be given an opportunity to play a demo version of the new games on Nintendo Switch consoles.
The store opened to the public on Friday October 18, and was hit with overwhelming demand. Despite not officially opening until 10 a.m., lines reportedly stretched out of the Westfield shopping mall by 11 a.m., forcing mall security to shut down the queue around midday, leaving many fans empty-handed.
Even some fans who managed to get in were left disappointed, with many of the most popular items selling out.

Guys there's nothing left except weedles. It's a poke nightmare #PokemonCenterLondon pic.twitter.com/S530JO3zYo
This prompted the store to increase opening hours and put purchase limits in place, restricting customers to six items per visit.
I had to go along to see the store for myself. Here's what it was like.

The problems began before I even arrived. I was heading to the Pokémon Center on the London Underground when I saw this tweet — the queue had been closed at 9.03 a.m. due to overwhelming demand.
@PokemonPopUp / Twitter
I arrived at Westfield London, the biggest shopping mall in the United Kingdom at around 9.30 a.m. — and it was deserted. Most of the stores don't open until 10 a.m. on the weekend.
It wasn't hard to spot the Pokémon Center, which was the only part of the mall surrounded by people.
As I got closer, I started to get a sense of just how many people had turned up. The queue snaked around three-quarters of the entire floor — thousands of people were waiting to get in.
I was impressed by how well Westfield had managed the line. People were tucked behind barriers so that they wouldn't get in the way of other mall-goers. Security staff were positioned at line breaks to make sure nobody jumped the queue.
There were a large number of people who had shown up too late and not made it into the line. Kaden traveled from Hong Kong in pursuit of a Bowler Hat Pikachu, and arrived minutes too late.
Lee and Stephanie traveled for two hours to get there, and only saw the tweet about the line being closed when they were on the train and almost in London. Stephanie told me she "took the whole weekend off work to come here," and the two had spent £40 ($51) on train tickets.
This group had been in the queue since 5 a.m., with some of them traveling from Birmingham, roughly two hours away. They were hoping to get the London Pikachu and the exclusive pin. Despite the long wait, they told me the organizers had been "pretty good at keeping people up to date on Twitter. Despite the crazy demand, they've been really responsive."
Pokémon Go was a common way for people to kill time while waiting in line.
Pokémon had clearly anticipated this and had put special PokéStops into the game, which fans were taking full advantage of.
As the opening time of the store neared, a bowler hat-wearing Pikachu completed a lap of the line and posed for pictures with those waiting.
When the doors finally opened at 10 a.m., people were let in in batches of 10 to ensure the store didn't get too crowded.
Jeanette was one of the first customers of the day. She arrived at 2 a.m. the night before, and this was her fourth visit to the store. She managed to secure one of the exclusive pin badges, along with a water bottle and a tote bag.
Harmeet and Sonia were also some of the first out of the door. They arrived shortly after midnight, and queued outside until Westfield opened its doors around 5 a.m. They said the queuing system was "absolutely perfect" and praised the staff for managing the line well, saying it would have been "impossible" for anyone to cut in line.
It was clear that most people had come with a gameplan and a list of specific items they wanted to buy. With limited daily restocks on certain items, the high-demand items were going to sell out quickly. Fans rushed for the exclusive pin badge and the large plush toys.
In the first room, fans could pick up a range of "Detective Pikachu" merchandise including Pikachu, Ludicolo, and Psyduck plushies. There were also plenty of plush toys of the new starter Pokémon from the upcoming games, Scorbunny, Grookey, and Sobble.
The first room was also where the majority of the exclusive merchandise was located. There were plenty of bowler hat Pikachu plushies, along with the exclusive playmat and pin badge. The badges flew off the shelves.
Fans could also pick up dinnerware and water bottles emblazoned with Pokémon.
The second room was split into sections, containing different types of merchandise. A clothing section offered shirts themed around the pop-up, most of which featured the bowler hat Pikachu. These are also exclusive to the pop-up.
The second room also had a range of Nintendo consoles and console accessories on sale, including the recently released Nintendo Switch Lite. This area didn't seem too popular with fans — they'd come for the merch, not for consoles you can get from any store.
The real focal point of the second room was the plush toy section. It offered a range of plushies in various sizes, from palm-size Weedles to Wailords almost two feet long.
The original starter Pokémon and their evolutions proved popular — the Charizard plush was sold out when I looked around just 45 minutes after opening.
And Charizard wasn't the only plush toy to fly off the shelves. The giant Mimikyu and Lapras plushies sold out within minutes of opening. I found the hype for this part of the store puzzling as these plush toys are available for purchase online and at other Pokémon Centers around the world.
On top of the general 6-item limit for customers, there were additional restrictions placed on certain items like the plush toys to try and enable all visitors to have a chance at getting their desired items.
A few empty shelves hinted at the stock issues that had plagued the shop since it opened. Despite daily restocks on the most desired items, I couldn't help but feel like the customers towards the back of the line were going to be disappointed once they finally made it into the store towards the end of the day.
The size of the store was honestly underwhelming. With just two small rooms, the number of customers was always going to be restricted and this was bound to add to the wait times. The use of space also didn't seem to be too efficient, with large areas of floor space unused, and the console section also taking up a chunk of space that could have been used for more exclusive merch.
Having seen everything the downstairs area had to offer, I headed upstairs to check out the demo area for Pokémon "Sword" and "Shield."
The demo enabled players to take part in battles against trainers in one of the game's gyms. It felt smooth and sleek, and offered fans a chance to test out some Pokémon newly discovered in the new Galar Region.
Giant wall art depicted the upcoming releases' two legendary Pokémon, Zacian and Zamazenta. I have to give credit to the Pokémon Center for the decor of the pop-up — all of the wallpaper and wall art looked great and made the place feel more like an actual store and less like a temporary pop-up.
I left with mixed emotions about the experience.

This seems to be quite a common problem but I can't seem to find a fix for it online.
The battle.net launcher will not close for love nor money. I think this is the main reason I am unable to shut down my rMBP.
Even if I select force close, nothing.
It doesn't look like Blizzard are going to be fixing this any time soon so is there a more reliable way of force closing a program?

Q: How to adjust the screen for many types of screens in Android using Unity 3.5x? I have a project and I want to build it for Android. I want to know, how to adjust the screen so I can play it well in many types of Android's phones? (Since there are so many type of screens for Android). I already tried many ways to do it, include the one in this thread : http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/161281/is-there-a-way-to-android-physical-screen-size.html, and using Screen.height and Screen.widht, but I can't do it.
By the way, I'm using C#.
Do anyone have some solutions?
Thank you.

A: The size of the screen isn't important because unity do the work for you. The only problem is the ratio of the screen.
You need to test your application on 16/9 screen and 16/10 screen

A: I already solved the problem with made a new class and scaling the panel which I put the background (so each of the gameobject will be scaling as well).

MySQL Cluster Manager 1.3.5 is now available to download from My Oracle Support.
Details are available in the the MCM 1.3.5 Release Notes. Note that this version of MCM now supports MySQL Cluster 7.4 (as well as earlier versions or MySQL Cluster).
The binary version for MySQL Cluster 7.3.2 has now been made available at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/ (GPL version) or Oracle's Software Delivery Cloud for the commercial version.
A description of all of the changes (fixes) that have gone into MySQL Cluster 7.3.2 (compared to 7.3.1) is available from the 7.3.2 Change log.
MySQL Cluster 7.3 has now been declared GA! This means that you can deploy it in your live systems and get support from Oracle.
This post briefly describes the main new features in the release; for a deeper dive, refer to the What's new in MySQL Cluster 7.3 white paper and the more specialised blog posts that you'll find links to from this post.
I'll also be giving more details in the MySQL Cluster 7.3 Webinar which is scheduled for 09:00 Pacific / Noon Eastern / 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET this Thursday (20th June). This is a great opportunity to get your questions answered in real-time by the experts. As usual, the webinar is free but you should n the register here ahead of time. Even if you can't attend it's worth registering as you'll then be sent a link to the replay.
The MySQL Cluster Auto-Installer is a browser-based GUI that will provision a well configured, distributed Cluster in minutes, ready for test, development or production environments.
A major priority for this release is to make it much easier and faster to provision a cluster that is well tuned for your application and environment; we want you to focus on exploiting the benefits of MySQL Cluster in your application rather than on figuring out how to install, configure and start the database. The MySQL Cluster Auto-Installer provides a browser-based GUI which steps you through creating a Cluster tailored to your requirements. For a really good view of how the tool works, a tutorial video and detailed worked example is available from the blog post: MySQL Cluster 7.3 MySQL Cluster Auto-Installer.
Foreign Keys (FKs) are a way of implementing relationships/constraints between columns in different tables. For example if we want to make sure that the value of the county column in the towns table has an associated entry in the counties table. In this way, no-one can place a town in a non-existent county and similarly no one can remove a county and leave orphaned towns behind.
Note that the FK constraints will be applied regardless of how data is subsequently written (i.e. through SQL or any of the available NoSQL APIs that bypass the MySQL Server) – this ensures that the intended data integrity is always maintained.
More details and a worked example of using Foreign Keys with MySQL Cluster can be found in this post: Foreign Keys in MySQL Cluster.
MySQL Cluster thrives when it is offered as many operations in parallel as possible. To achieve this, parallelism should be configured at each layer. There should be multiple application threads sending work to the MySQL Server (or other API), there should be multiple MySQL Servers and finally multiple connections between the MySQL Server (or other API node) and the data nodes. This is explained in more detail in the MySQL Cluster Performance white paper.
Each of the connections to the data nodes consumes one of the 256 available node-ids and so in some scenarios they could cap the scalability of the Cluster. MySQL Cluster 7.3 greatly increases the throughput of each of these connections meaning that less connections (and therefore node-ids) are needed to tackle the same workload; this in turn means that more API nodes and data nodes can be added to the Cluster to scale the capacity and performance even further. Benchmarks have shown up to a 8x increase in throughput per connection. The graph illustrates how less NDB API connection threads in MySQL Cluster 7.3 can deliver increased throughput compared with MySQL Cluster 7.2; the benchmark was based on DBT2 using a single data node; a single MySQL Server and 128 client connections.
MySQL Cluster 7.3 also rebases onto MySQL 5.6. What this means is that the MySQL Server that comes with MySQL Cluster 7.3 is based on MySQL 5.6. This in turn means that when you mix and match MySQL Cluster (NDB) and InnoDB tables, you'll be getting the benefits of the latest and greatest version of each storage engine.
Please go ahead and download and start experimenting with MySQL Cluster 7.3. We look forward to hearing how you get on!
The Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM) is a two-day event organized by volunteers to promote the widespread use of Free and Open Source software. As in previous years, there is a dedicated stream of MySQL Sessions. On Saturday (2nd Feb) evening there's a MySQL community dinner and then we've a packed program from 9:15 through 17:30 on Sunday (3rd Feb).
FOSDEM 2013 is a free event and there's no requirement to pre-register – just get yourself along to Brussels.
This year I'll be making a presentation introducing MySQL Cluster. Several of my colleagues from Oracle will also be there to present on the latest and greatest MySQL capabilities – including what's coming in MySQL 5.6. This will be a great opportunity to politely listen to some real technical experts but an even better one to pester them for extra details – whether during the presentations or when you can grab them at other times.
Oracle have just announced that MySQL Cluster Manager 1.2 is Generally Available. For anyone not familiar with MySQL Cluster Manager – it's a command-line management tool that makes it simpler and safer to manage your MySQL Cluster deployment – use it to create, configure, start, stop, upgrade…. your cluster.
So what has changed since MCM 1.1 was released?
A new version of the MySQL Cluster Manager white paper has been released that explains everything that you can do with it and also includes a tutorial for the key features; you can download it here.
Or access the database itself simply by running the regular mysql client.
MySQL Cluster supports on-line backups (and the subsequent restore of that data); MySQL Cluster Manager 1.2 simplifies the process.
Note that if you need to empty the database of its existing contents before performing the restore then MCM 1.2 introduces the initial option to the start cluster command which will delete all data from all MySQL Cluster tables.
You can fetch the MCM binaries from edelivery.oracle.com and then see how to use it in the MySQL Cluster Manager white paper.
Please try it out and let us know how you get on!
A description of all of the changes (fixes) that have gone into MySQL Cluster 7.1.23 (compared to 7.1.22) are available from the 7.1.23 Change log.
A description of all of the changes (fixes) that have gone into MySQL Cluster 7.2.7 (compared to 7.2.6) are available from the 7.2.7 Change log.
