That is why I consider that minimum harmonisation is the right working basis.From one Scrappy to another: thanks for the info - do you submit your work to publications?
I don't, typically. It's just not something that I've really been into. But I know a lot of people who do.
This pub is more geared towards the "real" scrapper out there - rather than the designer fads that we so often see in the scrapping mags. Not putting any of that down; there's some incredibly beautiful work out there. I'm just not sure that's how the "typical" scrapper does things. I know I don't!Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are cornerstones of every person’s quality of life. Since the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994 and the various United Nations (UN) conferences on HIV and AIDS in the years after, much progress has been made in advancing attention for SRHR, including HIV, both at the global and country-level. However, many people in low- and middle-income countries are still faced with limited access to sexual and reproductive health knowledge and services that are responsive to their needs and expectations.
KIT has built a solid reputation for its expertise and work at the crossroads of sexual health, reproductive health and HIV.
KIT’s work on SRHR supports organisations and governments to realise better and inclusive access to quality SRH services. Our main activities include promoting adolescent SRHR, reducing teenage pregnancy, improving maternal health and strengthening HIV prevention and care, especially for key populations.
Our methods are always adapted to local contexts and respond to the priorities defined by the stakeholders and partners we work with. To achieve meaningful change, we recognise the importance of anchoring our approach in a foundation of rights, participation and gender equality and we use demand-driven, tailor-made and often novel approaches.A gang member from Lawndale has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for giving a rifle to an ex-convict, law enforcement officials said.
George Robert Lopez, 41, was among 19 suspected Venice 13 gang members arrested in May after an undercover investigation conducted jointly by Los Angeles police officers and Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents. The investigation, which stretched four months, targeted Venice and Culver City gang members involved in extortion, drug dealing and firearms trafficking.
Lopez pleaded guilty in November to one count of transferring a firearm and ammunition to a convicted felon. In addition to 10 years in federal prison, Lopez was sentenced last week by U.S. District Court Judge George King to three years of supervised release. Lopez received the maximum sentence.
"When you're dealing with firearms, you're dealing with violent crime," said ATF Special Agent Christian Hoffman. "And one of our missions is to reduce violent crime."
Lopez, or "Trippy," is a top leader of the Venice 13 gang, a criminal group closely associated with the Mexican Mafia, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court. Using wire and electronic surveillance taps, agents found that Lopez gave a.22 caliber bolt-action rifle gave to another top Venice 13 gang member, Cesar Rios, 39, of Los Angeles.
The weapon allegedly belonged to Lopez' brother. Authorities said Lopez believed police were investigating
Police discovered the rifle, along with a box of 47 rounds, after pulling Rios over for a traffic violation.
Authorities also allege Lopez extorted $300 from undercover agents posing as owners of a Venice tattoo studio.
Lopez has been previously convicted of second degree robbery, possession of a controlled substance, prison assault and possessing a weapon in prison, all felonies. Court records show he worked as a shipping and receiving manager at the Hadd-Co Inspection Lab in Torrance.
Venice 13 is a Hispanic street gang involved in drug trafficking and controls the Oakwood neighborhood, near the popular Venice beach boardwalk. Along with rival gangs, the criminal group has been fighting gentrification and an increased police presence in the area.

The 10 Biggest Crypto Scams
1. Onecoin
Scam Amount: $4 billion+
Year: 2014
Founded by the Bulgarian crypto-queen Ruja Ignatova, Onecoin was a Ponzi scheme that showed just how silly human beings can be. It was meant to be a mine-able crypto coin, but there was no Blockchain.
Onecoin was not even decentralized. Rather, the founders kept the currency centralized in private servers and lied to the world. The system was a pyramid scheme, a business type that many of its core members were experienced in.
Members could buy educational packages, which included books and tokens they could then invest into mining new Onecoins to make a fortune. Exchange of the coins into other currencies was only possible through another internal marketplace, the xcoinx Onecoin Exchange.
Most of the founders have since disappeared or are in prison, but there is no sign of the founder, Ruja Ignatova. There is an upcoming movie about Onecoin though and it is called Fake! In it, Ignatova will be played by Kate Winslet.
Here are a few things to learn from this scam. 1.) If it is not decentralized, then it is not a Blockchain system. 2.) If you are not sure how it works, then leave it alone.
2. Bitconnect
Scam Amount: $3.5 billion
Year: 2016
Bitconnect was an open-source cryptocurrency, which is okay. However, it was connected to an HYIP (High Yield Investment Program) called bitconnect.co.
The goal was to allow users of the crypto coin to lend out funds in return for interest payments. You would have to trade in your Bitcoins for the Bitconnect tokens though.
Interestingly, the interest on the coin was 1% daily and you could compound it. This attracted lots of investors, but also raised the suspicions of several authorities, prompting investigations on Bitconnect by 2017.
By January 2018, the earning program closed down and users were refunded in BCC (Bitconnect) tokens and not Bitcoins. This led to a loss of confidence in the coin and it quickly went into a selloff from its nearly $500 high to just $0.40 a year later.
The lesson here is that HYIPs are almost always a scam. There are exceptions though. But not always.
3. PlusToken
Scam Amount: $3 billion
Year: 2018
Founded by Chen Bo in 2018, PlusToken was another cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme. It targeted users in China and South Korea, but its operation method remained the same.
Users received a monthly interest payment for using the PlusToken wallet and purchasing the PLUS crypto coin using Bitcoin or Ethereum. In reality, the users’ interest payments were coming from the deposits of newer users.
PlusToken was masterminded by 27 persons, plus 55 others to make up 82 persons in total. Although the scammers disappeared to Cambodia when the scam came to light, most of them have been arrested and jailed.
4. Thodex
Scam Amount: $2.2. billion
Year: 2021
The first exit scam on this list and the most recent as well. Thodex was a Turkish cryptocurrency exchange, which initially had trading volumes in the billions of dollars before its abrupt exit.
Thodex announced in April 2021 that it was suspending trading and would be unavailable for a few days, while a partnership investment proceedings were ongoing for the company.
As thousands of users could not access their accounts and raised alarms, the authorities swung into action and launched investigations.
In the end, over 300K users lost 2 billion+ through the platform. The authorities arrested and prosecuted some of the scammers, but the founder, Faruk Fatih Özer had since left the country.
5. Pincoin
Scam Amount: $600 million
Year: 2018
Around 2018, the Vietnamese company Modern Tech developed a cryptocurrency and launched it through an ICO. The Pincoin campaign was successful and the company raised over $600 million from about 32,000 investors.
Pincoin was supposed to provide constant returns to its investors. The promise was over 40% monthly returns, plus 8% commissions for every new member that you introduced.
Modern Tech initially paid these returns by cash. However, the company then switched to paying investors with an entirely new token that they had created, called iFan. And as trouble arose, the team vanished.
Again, the lesson from this scam is that high-yield investment programs are often scams. This was a classical
