This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:    

* Beware of Greek MEPs receiving gifts  

* ‘Ifigenia’ or ‘Trojan Horse’?

* A 16-year-old boy shot by police died  

- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece. European Parliament Vice President Eva Kaili, PASOK-KINAL MEP, is at the epicenter of the probably biggest scandal that has ever rocked Brussels. In a development bearing all characteristics of a Hollywood movie, she was caught in the act with bags of cash. Allegedly bribes her and three alleged associates from Qatar, so they polish the image of the autocratic state. We connect the dots in an analysis you would not read in the international press. How is Kaili closely connected with ND, despite being a KINAL MEP? How far back does her relationship with ND high profile people and corrupt politicians date? Why did she try to undermine the importance of the Greek spyware scandal? In a separate yet tragic development, the 16-year-old Roma boy who had been shot in the head by the police died. Protests erupted, followed by clashes with the police. On the day of his death, all parliamentary parties except DiEM25 voted for a 600 euros bonus for all uniformed in the Police and the Coast Guard.

What is Poker Night about? :)

Poker Night is my Sienna Shepard x James Vega fic that I'm writing with @bioware-bard ^_^

It was supposed to be a oneshot, but it's ballooned into a 3 part fic (at this stage!) and a series of drabbles which we keep writing as we explore and extend their world.

I can honestly say I've never had so much fun writing a fic! I think our writing styles really compliment each other, and we find ourselves on the same page with our ideas and plotting.

The idea behind the fic is simple - Sienna and James have been flirting shamelessly but something always gets in the way, and they both firmly believe the other is indifferent. On the night of the Citadel party, they find themselves the last two standing and decide to play strip poker.

James is confident he'll win and get to impress Shep with his poker skills, and Sienna is determined to let James win and have an excuse to make something finally happen between them! ;) They're both idiots, and they both want each bad.

It gets pretty hot! 😉 (the lovely art is by S-Kinally).

A Fővárosi Önkormányzat cégei és intézményei – azaz a Budapest család – mintegy 27 000 munkavállalót foglalkoztat. A nyitott pozíciók betöltésére tavaszra meghirdettük a második állásbörzét, ahol közel 40 kitelepülő céges és intézményi stand és több száz álláslehetőség vár mindenkit.

A nagy sikerű első alkalom után – ahol több, mint 1800-an megfordultak, és a leggyorsabb látogató már a következő héten munkába állt a Vasúti Járműjavítónál – idén áprilisban ismét megismerhetik az érdeklődők a fővárosi fenntartású és üzemeltetésű cégek, intézmények tevékenységét és nem egy esetben kollégáit is. 

A főváros cégpalettája és így az álláslehetőségek listája is nagyon színes, hiszen a nagy történelmi gyógyfürdők, strandok üzemeltetésétől kezdve a Szabó Ervin könyvtárak és az Állatkert is a fővároshoz tartoznak, ahogy a hatalmas zöldterületek gondozása, a közutak egy része, az ivóvíz vagy éppen a közvilágítás és a közösségi közlekedés biztosítása is az önkormányzat feladata. 

A kétnapos eseményen nem csak a kitelepülő cégeket és ajánlataikat ismerhetitek meg, de lesz lehetőség karrier és önéletrajz tanácsadáson részt venni, sőt ez utóbbihoz fotózás is lesz, ha valaki szeretne professzionális CV fényképet. Emellett life coach is segíti majd az álláskeresőket: az állásbörze résztvevőinek 30 perces, térítésmentes mini coaching ülést biztosítanak. 

Helyszín és időpont:

Biodóm aula, 1146 Budapest, Állatkerti körút 16.

április 12. péntek 9-19 óra között és

április 13. szombat 10-16 óra között

Az állásbörzén a részvétel ingyenes, de helyszíni regisztrációhoz kötött.

This week's newsletter from AthensLive is out:     The end of an era and a new one rising

*    An unprecedented result in Greece’s contemporary history  *    Who is who: Spartiates & Niki  *    End of an era

- are the main headlines to be found inside this highly informative weekly must-read from and about Greece. The New Democracy party won the country’s parliamentary elections, with voters giving Kyriakos Mitsotakis 40.55% of the vote and another four-year term as prime minister. He left the main opposition SYRIZA far behind with a meager 17.84%. Communist party KKE got 7.7%, PASOK/KINAL 11.85%. All shades of far-right were elected in the Greek Parliament: neo-nazi far right (Spartiates, the Trojan Horse of Golden Dawn - 4.64%), Christian far-right (Niki - 3.7%). Also, Elliniki Lysi (4.44%), had threatened media with legal action (Opens in a new window) should we call it ‘far-right’, so we won’t write it is. The eighth party elected was leader-centered Plefsi Eleftherias, which does not even have a proper manifesto. Yanis Varoufakis’s DiEM25 failed to enter the Parliament as it did not achieve the 3% threshold. A third of the new Greek parliament (100 seats out of 300) is center to the left. Two-thirds (192 seats) is neoliberal right to ultra far right.

I haven't done this in like almost a month, so here it is! One of my favorite fics (one that has been semi-abandoned, but my muse is activating again with what have been happening in the show, so next chapter is coming. Yeah, I know, I know I've been saying that for 2 years, but now it's true, because either this turns into the direct, even if slightly divergent, continuation of season 2 finale, or downright a fix it, depending on what happens next week)

So, here it is, my pride and joy!

Series: Part 2 of Good Soldiers Follow Orders, Good Brothers Disobey Them

Summary: The Batch finally rips Crosshair away from the Empire's clutches, but things don't go so smoothly once he's de-chipped.

Chapter 1: Fiery Anger, Cutting Guilt

It shouldn’t surprise Hunter the intensity of the pounding in his head; acute bouts of stress always make it harder for his enhanced senses to tolerate stimuli. The static hum from the lights embedded on the roof is getting on Hunter’s nerves; the sharp glow adds more to his discomfort. He shifts on the chair, the screeching of metal scraping against metal makes him flinch. Hunter leans the elbows on his knees and presses the heels of his hands into his eyes for a few seconds, hoping to relieve the ache behind them. Overstimulation is a distraction that he can’t afford right now.  

In any other circumstances, Hunter would’ve allowed any of his brothers to take the guard duty. But he feels he has to be here. He’s the one who left Crosshair in Kamino to be easy prey for the Empire; he’s the one who captured his brainwashed brother tonight, so it’s his responsibility to make sure that Crosshair can’t escape and harm anyone in the ship once he wakes up—or hurt worse, he should say. Leaving Crosshair unsupervised, with the inhibitor chip still inside his head, is an invitation for tragedy.

It hurts watching Crosshair lying unconscious on his bunk in the Marauder. He’s both a brother and a stranger, which provokes in Hunter many conflicted feelings. Hunter’s just as glad as he is afraid of having snatched the sniper from the merciless clutches of the Empire. 

Crosshair’s capture lifts no weight from Hunter’s shoulders; the relief of having his batchmate back is overshadowed by the burden of guilt and anger. At a conscious level, Hunter understands that all that Crosshair has done since Order 66 was issued is not his fault. He’s being controlled against his will. And yet, some part of Hunter boils in anger for all the times his brother tried to kill them. For kriff’ sake! He shot Tech in the chest this very night.

Right behind his fiery anger comes the cutting guilt. The fact that Hunter never found the way to rescue Crosshair, nothing more than saying some pleading words amid their tense encounters, which fell on deaf ears, is something he’ll have to live with the rest of his life. He’s angry at himself for leaving his brother behind. But what else could Hunter have done? Crosshair is lethal in his own right, and if you add to that the Imperial firepower that surrounded him, it would’ve been a suicide attempting the rescue. 

Despite being a force to be reckoned with, Hunter knows that he and the boys couldn’t have defeated such an adversary without facing major risks, especially with a man less in the team. Much less when said man was working for the enemy, albeit against his will, who also knew their every weakness and was not afraid to use those against them. From a strategic standpoint, it wasn’t worth it. What good would’ve done trying to get Crosshair back if the rest of the Batch ended up dead? It’s his responsibility as a leader to guarantee the safety of his squad, of those who he has within his reach.

Crosshair stayed away from it for a very long time until tonight. Grateful at the unexpected boon, Hunter grabbed the opportunity to get his brother back.

The Rise of Onion Exporter Companies in India: A Comprehensive Overview

India, known as the land of spices and diverse agricultural products, holds a prominent position in the global market for various produce, especially onions. As a staple in culinary practices worldwide, the demand for onions has consistently soared, making it one of the most traded vegetables globally. Indian onion exporter companies have capitalized on this demand, playing a crucial role in the global supply chain. In this blog, we will explore the dynamics of onion exporting in India, the challenges faced by exporters, and the key players in the market.

1. India’s Dominance in Onion Production

India is the second-largest producer of onions in the world, contributing approximately 20-25% of the global output. The country's diverse climatic conditions and rich soil fertility make it an ideal place for onion cultivation. The major onion-producing states in India include Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh. Among these, Maharashtra leads with the highest production, significantly contributing to India's export volume.

2. The Onion Export Market in India

India’s onion export market is vast, with the country exporting onions to over 90 countries. The key markets include Bangladesh, Malaysia, UAE, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Indian onions are popular globally due to their pungency, taste, and long shelf life. The different varieties, such as the Red Onion, White Onion, and Pink Onion, cater to diverse culinary preferences worldwide.

3. Key Players in the Indian Onion Export Market

Several companies in India have established themselves as leading onion exporters, known for their quality produce and robust supply chain mechanisms. Here are some key players:

Nashik-based exporters: Nashik, in Maharashtra, is often referred to as the onion capital of India. Companies from this region, such as Agrion, are known for their vast networks and efficient export processes.

Farmers Fresh Zone: This company has made a mark by promoting farm-to-fork supply, ensuring fresh onions are delivered to international markets.

Kinal Global Care Private Limited: Known for its commitment to quality, Kinal Global Care has a significant presence in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

These companies are characterized by their strong logistics networks, adherence to quality standards, and commitment to maintaining the freshness of their produce.

4. Challenges Faced by Onion Exporters in India

Despite the lucrative opportunities in the global market, onion exporters in India face several challenges:

Price Volatility: The onion market is highly volatile, with prices fluctuating due to seasonal factors, domestic demand, and international market conditions. This volatility can impact the profitability of exporters.

Regulatory Hurdles: Indian onion exporters often grapple with government regulations, such as export bans or restrictions during periods of domestic shortage. These regulations, while aimed at stabilizing domestic prices, can disrupt export operations.

Quality Standards: Meeting the stringent quality and safety standards required by international markets is another challenge. Exporters must ensure that their produce is free from pests, has a uniform size, and meets the residue levels for pesticides.

Logistics and Transportation: Efficient transportation and storage are critical for maintaining the quality of onions during transit. Exporters need to invest in cold storage facilities and efficient logistics networks to prevent spoilage and ensure timely delivery.

5. Technological Advancements in Onion Exporting

To overcome these challenges, many Indian onion exporters are embracing technological advancements. The use of blockchain technology for traceability, automated sorting and grading machines, and digital platforms for market intelligence are helping companies streamline their operations and improve the quality of their exports.

Blockchain for Traceability: Blockchain technology allows exporters to provide detailed information about the origin, cultivation practices, and quality checks of the onions. This transparency builds trust with international buyers and ensures compliance with global standards.

Automated Sorting and Grading: Modern machinery enables precise sorting and grading of onions, ensuring that only the best quality produce reaches the international market. This automation reduces human error and enhances efficiency.

Digital Platforms: Exporters are increasingly using digital platforms to access real-time market data, price trends, and demand forecasts. This information helps them make informed decisions and optimize their supply chain.

6. Sustainability in Onion Exporting

Sustainability is becoming a critical aspect of the global food supply chain, and Indian onion exporters are not far behind in adopting sustainable practices. From reducing the use of pesticides to implementing water-efficient irrigation methods, companies are making efforts to minimize their environmental footprint.

Water-Efficient Irrigation: Onion cultivation requires significant water, and exporters are promoting drip irrigation and other water-saving technologies to conserve this vital resource.

Eco-Friendly Packaging: To reduce plastic waste, many exporters are shifting towards biodegradable packaging solutions. This move is not only environmentally friendly but also appeals to eco-conscious consumers in international markets.

7. The Future of Onion Exporting in India

The future of onion exporting in India looks promising, with several factors driving growth:

Rising Global Demand: With the global population increasing and more countries incorporating onions into their diets, the demand for Indian onions is expected to rise.

Expansion into New Markets: Indian exporters are exploring new markets in Europe, Africa, and North America, diversifying their customer base and reducing dependency on traditional markets.

Government Support: The Indian government is taking steps to support agricultural exports, including onions, through initiatives like the Agriculture Export Policy. This policy aims to boost export volumes and promote India as a global agricultural powerhouse.

8. Conclusion

Onion exporter companies in India play a vital role in the global agricultural landscape. Despite the challenges, the sector has shown resilience and adaptability, driven by technological advancements, a focus on quality, and a commitment to sustainability. As global demand for onions continues to grow, Indian exporters are well-positioned to capitalize on new opportunities and solidify their status as leading players in the international market.

India's onion export market is not just about trading a vegetable; it reflects the country's agricultural prowess, the entrepreneurial spirit of its exporters, and the global appeal of its produce. With continued innovation and support, Indian onion exporters are set to reach new heights in the coming years.
