The Russian port has a long tradition in the control of merchant vessels. Within the framework of international agreements on maritime transport safety, inspectors note aboard deficiencies relating to maritime security, protection of the environment and living conditions of crews and do not hesitate to retain substandard ships as much as necessary. Of the 265 ships to be broken up between January 1st and March 31 2016, 14 were detained in Novorossiysk, sometimes repeatedly, and therefore reported as hazardous vessels to all states bordering the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. At least 4 freighters, the Amina H, the Majed and Randy, the Venedikt Andreev and the Med Glory had the migrant carriers profile. -
Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy
Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs August 17, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL30588 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary The Obama Administration and several of its partner countries are seeking to reduce U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan while continuing to build Afghan governing and security capacity to defend the country by the end of 2014. To secure longer term U.S. gains, on May 1, 2012, during a visit to Afghanistan, President Obama signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement that will likely keep some (perhaps 15,000—20,000) U.S. troops in Afghanistan after 2014 as advisors and trainers. Until then, the United States and its partners will continue to transfer overall security responsibility to Afghan security forces, with Afghan forces to assume the lead nationwide by mid-2013. As lead responsibility shifts, the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, which peaked at about 99,000 in June 2011, will be reduced to 68,000 by the end of September 2012. President Obama has said that “reductions will continue at a steady pace” from then until the completion of the transition to Afghan lead at the end of 2014. In keeping with the Strategic Partnership Agreement, on July 7, 2012 (one day in advance of a major donors’ conference on Afghanistan in Tokyo) the United States named Afghanistan a “Major Non-NATO Ally,” further assuring Afghanistan of longterm U.S. -

Digital Globalization: the New Era of Global Flows March 2016
DIGITAL GLOBALIZATION: THE NEW ERA OF GLOBAL FLOWS MARCH 2016 HIGHLIGHTS 43 73 85 Broadening participation Boosting productivity Changing the way and GDP companies go global In the 25 years since its founding, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. We are proud to be ranked the top private-sector think tank, according to the authoritative 2015 Global Go To Think Tank Index, an annual report issued by the University of Pennsylvania Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the Lauder Institute. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed global flows; the economies of Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, and Japan; China’s digital transformation; India’s path from poverty to empowerment; affordable housing; the effects of global debt; and the economics of tackling obesity. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. -
2019 Roland Garros Day 5 Men's Notes
2019 ROLAND GARROS DAY 5 MEN’S NOTES Thursday 30 May 2nd Round Top Half Featured matches No. 1 Novak Djokovic (SRB) v (LL) Henri Laaksonen (SUI) No. 4 Dominic Thiem (AUT) v Alexander Bublik (KAZ) No. 5 Alexander Zverev (GER) v (Q) Mikael Ymer (SWE) No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) v Yoshihito Nishioka (JPN) No. 9 Fabio Fognini (ITA) v Federico Delbonis (ARG) No. 10 Karen Khachanov (RUS) v (WC) Gregoire Barrere (FRA) No. 14 Gael Monfils (FRA) v Adrian Mannarino (FRA) No. 22 Lucas Pouille (FRA) v Martin Klizan (SVK) No. 23 Fernando Verdasco (ESP) v (WC) Antoine Hoang (FRA) On court today… • World No. 1 Novak Djokovic continues his quest to become the first man in the Open Era to win all 4 Grand Slams twice when he faces lucky loser Henri Laaksonen on Court Suzanne Lenglen today. The Serb, who won the title here in 2016, has never lost to a lucky loser in 9 previous meetings with lucky losers at Tour-level. Should Switzerland’s Laaksonen become the first lucky loser to defeat Djokovic, he will join compatriots Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka in the 3rd round – which would be just the 2nd time in the Open Era that 3 Swiss men have reached the 3rd round at a major, after the 2006 US Open, when Federer, Wawrinka and Marco Chiudinelli all reached that stage. • No. 5 seed Alexander Zverev plays the 2nd match on Court Simonne Mathieu, taking on Swedish qualifier Mikael Ymer. The pair have met once previously, as teenagers at Stockholm in 2015, with Zverev triumphing in 3 tight sets.
