Forecast Discussion

Product: Forecast Discussion Issued: 2025 Jan 06 0030 UTC Prepared by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center Solar Activity .24 hr Summary... Solar activity decreased to moderate levels with a total of four M-class flares all from Region 3947 (N11E29, Eac/beta-gamma-delta). The largest of these events were an M4.1 flare at 05/0214 UTC and another M4.1 flare at 05/0936 UTC. This particular AR was in fact responsible for the majority of flare activity as it maintained a delta signature in its trailing spots. Regions 3941 (S06W67, Dso/beta) and 3943 (S16W06, Hsx/alpha) tied on a C4.8 flare at 05/1807 UTC and a C4.3 flare at 05/2057 UTC, respectively. Although numerous, the remaining plethora of active regions were either relatively stable or in decay. No new Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. However, a fast CME originating from AR 3939 on 04 Jan was modeled and determined to be a glancing blow at Earth by late on 06 Jan with a bulk of the material being well ahead of Earth's orbit. .Forecast... R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts are expected, with a chance for isolated R3 (Strong) or greater events through 07 Jan, as AR 3947 continues to mature and a number of active regions approach the western limb. Probabilities decrease slightly on 08 Jan as multiple regions transit and exit the western limb, but AR 3947 remains. Energetic Particles .24 hr Summary... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux reached a peak flux of 1,070 pfu at 05/1950 UTC, but was not sustained long enough to warrant a SWPC electron flux alert. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux began the period in S1 (Minor) solar radiation storm levels at 04/2255 UTC, reached a peak flux of 20 pfu at 05/0055 UTC and ended at 06/0940 UTC. .Forecast... The greater than 2 MeV electron flux is expected to briefly reach high levels early on 06 Jan and return to normal to moderate levels for 07-08 Jan. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux is expected to continue a gradual trend towards background-like levels over the course of 06 Jan while a chance for another event remains. A slight chance for S1 (Minor) solar radiation storming will persist on 07 Jan and through 08 Jan as multiple CME producing transit and exit the western limb. Solar Wind .24 hr Summary... The solar wind environment reflected sustained, but weakening, positive polarity CH HSS influence. Total field primarily ranged 6-9 nT. The Bz component underwent several, sustained southward deflections of -5 to -7 nT. Solar wind speeds gradually decreased from ~700 km/s to -530 km/s. Phi was predominantly positive. .Forecast... An enhanced solar wind environment due to positive polarity CH HSS influence is expected to persist, although gradually weakening, through 08 Jan. An additional shock to the environment is likely by late on 06 Jan due to the aforementioned 04 Jan CME giving glancing effects. Geospace .24 hr Summary... The geomagnetic field was unsettled to active. .Forecast... G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming, with the chance for an isolated G2 (Moderate) period, is likely by late 06 Jan due to glancing effects from the periphery of the 04 Jan CME. Unsettled to active conditions are expected on 07 Jan as any CME effects linger coupled with weakening positive polarity CH HSS effects. Quiet to unsettled conditions are expected on 08 Jan as CH HSS effects die off and come to a close.

Best Rust Hacks and Cheats to Stay Undetected in 2025

Rust, a challenging and competitive survival game, demands skill, strategy, and a touch of ingenuity to thrive in its harsh environments. However, the growing popularity of Rust has also increased the demand for hacks and cheats to gain an edge. While hacking in any online game carries ethical concerns and risks, players often seek ways to stay undetected and avoid bans. This article delves into the best rust hacks and cheats to stay undetected in 2025, highlighting methods, tools, and safety precautions.

Why Players Use Rust Hacks

Rust is a notoriously difficult game. Surviving against players, animals, and environmental challenges can be overwhelming. Some reasons players resort to hacks include:

Competitive Edge: To gain an advantage over opponents.

Time-Saving: To avoid grinding for resources and weapons.

Exploration: To discover secrets and hidden locations more efficiently.

Revenge: To retaliate against cheaters or toxic players.

While these motivations are understandable, it’s essential to remember that hacking violates game terms and can lead to severe consequences.

Popular Rust Hacks in 2025

The landscape of game cheats evolves rapidly, and Rust is no exception. Here are the most popular rust cheats in 2025:

ESP (Extra Sensory Perception):

Features: Allows players to see through walls, highlighting players, animals, and resources.

Advantages: Locate enemies, loot, and key items effortlessly.

Undetected Usage Tips: Use minimal configurations and avoid suspicious behavior like consistently knowing enemy positions.

Aimbots:

Features: Assists in aiming, making every shot hit the target.

Advantages: Dominates PvP combat.

Undetected Usage Tips: Configure the aimbot for subtle adjustments rather than blatant headshots every time.

Resource Gathering Hacks:

Features: Automates the collection of wood, stone, and other materials.

Advantages: Build and upgrade bases faster.

Undetected Usage Tips: Use intermittently to avoid raising suspicion.

Speed Hacks:

Features: Increases movement speed.

Advantages: Escape or chase down enemies effectively.

Undetected Usage Tips: Avoid extreme speed changes; mimic natural sprinting patterns.

No Recoil/No Spread:

Features: Removes recoil and bullet spread for firearms.

Advantages: Improves accuracy during combat.

Undetected Usage Tips: Combine with manual aiming to appear legitimate.

Silent Aim:

Features: Hits targets without aiming directly at them.

Advantages: Lethal in close-quarters combat.

Undetected Usage Tips: Use sparingly and mix with manual gameplay.

Staying Undetected: Best Practices

Anti-cheat systems like Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) have become highly sophisticated in detecting hacks. To stay undetected in 2025, follow these guidelines:

Use Private or Undetected Hacks:

Invest in premium hacks from reputable providers that are regularly updated to bypass anti-cheat systems.

Avoid Free Hacks:

Free hacks are often outdated, detectable, or contain malware.

Minimize Usage:

Overusing hacks increases the likelihood of being reported by other players.

Blend In:

Play naturally. For example, if using ESP, don’t always rush toward hidden players or loot.

Update Regularly:

Ensure your hacks are up-to-date to stay ahead of anti-cheat updates.

Use a VPN:

Protect your IP address and maintain anonymity while playing.

Sandbox Your Game:

Run Rust in a virtual machine or sandbox environment to prevent detection.

Avoid Streaming or Recording:

Broadcasting gameplay can expose your use of cheats.

Risks of Using Rust Hacks

Hacking in Rust carries significant risks:

Account Bans:

Developers enforce permanent bans for players caught cheating.

Reputation Damage:

Being exposed as a cheater can tarnish your reputation within the gaming community.

Malware and Phishing:

Downloading hacks from unverified sources can compromise your personal data.

Legal Consequences:

In rare cases, hacking can lead to legal action, especially if it involves monetary transactions or intellectual property violations.

Loss of Fun:

Cheating can diminish the challenge and satisfaction of the game.

Ethical Alternatives to Hacking

If you’re considering hacking due to frustration or time constraints, here are ethical alternatives:

Join a Team:

Collaborate with skilled players to improve your survival odds.

Watch Tutorials:

Learn strategies and tips from experienced players on YouTube or Twitch.

Use Mods:

Opt for server-approved mods to enhance gameplay without breaking rules.

Practice:

Dedicate time to improving your skills through practice and repetition.

Private Servers:

Play on private servers with relaxed rules to enjoy a more forgiving experience.

Conclusion

Rust hacks and cheats offer undeniable advantages but come with substantial risks. Staying undetected in 2025 requires careful planning, premium tools, and restrained usage. However, it’s crucial to weigh the consequences against the benefits. While cheating may provide short-term thrills, it undermines the integrity of the game and the community. Instead, consider ethical ways to enjoy Rust, ensuring a fair and rewarding experience for all players.

Ultimately, the decision lies with the player, but understanding the risks and responsibilities is key to making an informed choice.

December Diary ⛄️🧦🍁🎄🎅🏼🎁🎉🎂🎈🍾🎆❄️

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My goal is to add to this everyday of December to help keep me accountable to my goal.

My boyfriend’s family always does a huge New Year’s party and last year I didn’t go because I was embarrassed of how fäț I was.

This year I want to show tf up and amaze everyone w how good I look.

My birthday is this Saturday (24🥳) so I want to get to 155lb by then, and then I have the rest of the month to lock in and hopefully get to a MAINTAINABLE 150. I’ve never gone below 155 (yes I know that’s embarrassing).

I always make progress and then mess it all up when I get emotional because of my bipolar disorder. My sugar cravings get so so so bad and then I give in because I get depressed and miss my boyfriend.

But I want this month to be different. I’m holding myself accountable. I want to amaze everyone. If I look super good I might go get a piercing or tattoo or dye my hair so that I can post on IG and woo everyone lol. So self-centered!

So anyways, here we go,

Sunday 12/1/24: walked 4.5 miles today while on 24 hour fast! Lifted at the gym for an hour. Then came home to eat around 5pm.

Had an Oikos Triple Zero 15g protein greek yogurt (90kcal) mixed berry flavor. So delicious.

Added 2 tablespoons of flax/chia seeds (70kcal)

Then, I snacked on half of a 16oz bag of baby carrots (90kcal). Dipped some of them in dijon mustard before I read the label (so stupid—I threw the bottle away immediately after) (100kcal😞).

total intake: 350kcal || calories burned: 300

not bad. weight after my walk: 164.4

let’s hope tomorrow I go #2 lol. But I am planning to see a movie w my boyfriend… so hopefully we don’t get any food 😳😳

Monday 12/2/24: just woke up, went #2!!! lol weighed myself before drinking water and now I’m 162.8!! Yay not bad!!! 5 days to lose 7 lbs I think I can do it…? Will update later

update 12/2/24: well my bf got hïğh and slept all day, so we didn’t end up going to the movies. we did other stuff instead ;-) but then he order mcdonald’s and i was so uncomfortable bc he wanted me to eat some. i refused but he stuck one (1) french fry in my mouth and made me take 1 (one) tiny bite of his sandwich (so gross). but other than that i fasted. not mad.

when i got back, I went on the treadmill and did 4 miles in 68 mins (ik im slow). I also lifted earlier. so I just weighed myself rn and im 161.0!!!! almost back to my pre-thanksgiving weight!! very happy w this number but really hoping for more by the end of the week. kinda worried of how drastic im taking it (even tho ik to some this ain’t sħïť lol). butttt hopefully no bad consequences. now im gonan drink some tea and sleep 8 hours :-) excited for tmrw it’s a big day. im turning in my grad school app! yay <3 burned 400 cals and today i bought a vâpè (don’t tell me bf lol)

12/3/24: GRAD SCHOOL APP SUBMITTED!!!! HUGE DAY!!!! Berkeley Fall 2025 here I comeeee!!!!!! lol but because I was grinding out my application today I did not have time for any movement. Didn’t get any steps today :(

But, I’m not too mad. I didn’t eat today again so we’ll see if I lost any weight in the morning. I doubt it but it’s fine because today was a needed work day. All the stress lifted off my shoulders! Thankful to be alive and healthy rn. Let’s make tmrw a good day 💕

12/4/24: just woke up and weighed myself and omg! 158.8!! 3.8 more pounds to go in 3 days!! I think I can do it ! I haven’t ate since Sunday! Hopefully i’ll spend some serious time at the gym and doing cardio today. Gonna try to drink a lot of water today bc yesterday I didn’t. But, I have bad news. I have a doctor appt today for a check up and Im nervous. I don’t know if they’re gonna notice the disorder or if I’m gonna slip up and accidentally hint at it. We’ll see. I’ll update soon.

doctor appt was fine. scale at dr office said 159 (clothes on duh). blood pressure was good. came home and ate 6 egg whites: 6g protein each equals 36g. 30 kcal each equals 180 cal. omad done. 72 hour fast complete. honestly i got full off of the first one and it hurt my tummy, but it’s okay bc i feel like it was healthy. whatever. tmrw my prof said they are bringing snacks to class so im gonna try really hard to be mindful of what i eat. hoping to stay disciplined. happy w my progress so far. only walked 2 miles today tho that’s lame :/

12/5/24: holy crap I had such bad anxiety going to school today after 3 weeks off. But I went and for both my classes my professor brought cuties. So I had two in my first class, and then two in my second class. I wasn’t sure if I could eat them but I googled the nutrition facts and they’re mainly water and high in potassium and vitamin C of course so I decided it was okay. 40 kcals each so 160 kcal total. I think that’s okay. Now I just got home and I’m kinda hungry so I decided I’m going to boil two eggs. 70 kcal each with 6.5 grams protein so about 17ish grams protein today and 300kcal total. not bad. Later I went to the gym and lifted and walked 3.5 miles on treadmill. Probably burned 150kcal.

12/6/24: Well, my bday is tmrw and the goal was to be 155. I weighed myself this morning and I’m still 158.6. That’s okay though I knew 155 was a lofty goal. Hopefully my boyfriend thinks I’m attractive. At least I still have until Dec 31 to get skinnier.

Anyways, rn I just had a Oikos triple zero yogurt strawberry flavor which is 90kcal 15g protein. Now I need to go workout and get some steps in. Check in later. Update I did only 1.5 miles lol

12/7/24:!!!! it’s my birthday!!!!!! my boyfriend came over last night and we had so much fun 🥰🥰 now we’re going out today and I’m gonna have crumbl cookie and my favorite italian restaurant !! im not gonna worry about the calories but i am gonna watch my portion. im gonna eat super slow and chew my food intentionally. im gonan take home most of it so i don’t eat a lot. then my boyfriend can eat it all later. so excited for this challenge. i wanna show myself i can be strong around food. also!! just weighed myself and…. drumroll… im 156.6!!!! the goal was 155 but im still really happy with that!!! i lost nearly 10 lbs this week so i think i did a great job!! im almost to my lowest weight. it’s okay that im gonna eat a lot today bc what’s the worst i can do? gain 3 lbs? im not mad!!! yayyyyyyy birthday!!! cheers to good health and more blessings 🥰🥰🥰

okay update for 12/7: i ate hellllla. i had starbs and crumbl cookie and fettuccine alfredo. but im NOT UPSET about it. it was an amazing birthday w the loml. not weighing myself until after my next fast.

12/8/24: so I had to babysit all day today and I always eat hella when I do bc the ppl I babysit for have sm good fresh organic healthy food. So yes, I binged, but it was all healthy food like grapes, strawberries, low sodium sausage, etc etc. not mad about how much I ate because it made me happy.

12/9/24: so today I went way overboard. I had a hot chocolate that a friend got me. then my boyfriend got me pancakes from ihop. I know I didn’t have to eat them but I did. so now I feel like a huge fatty. three days in a row of eating is crazy. but I’m starting my fast now and im not eating for the rest of the week. I will weigh myself tmew after my fast.

12/10/24: haven’t ate since yesterday at about 4pm so im already at the 24 hour mark. I still don’t want to weigh myself bc I haven’t gotten in any cardio. i’ve been doing finals all day. I’ll weigh tmrw bc im scared.

12/11/24: finally went to the gym today. still haven’t eaten so i passed the 48 hour fast mark. still haven’t done any cardio but that’s bc i wanted to use the extra food i ate to build muscle so i trained legs and booty hard. I weighed this morning after going pee and im ashamed but im 162. so I gained 5 lbs. that’s not horrible tho. ik i can lose it if i keep fasting. im going to weigh myself again tmrw morning and see if it changes which i think it will. im seeing my boyfriend again this weekend so i need to get back to 160 at the very least. even tho he doesn’t care but whatever. i love him. at least i feel strong rn. tmrw im gonna try to wake up early to go work out before class. wish me luck.

Set up another NADAC video course for Mud. I set this on Sunday. It took some time because we had to place the a-frame just right so I can nest another course on top of this one from a completely different set of courses.

He missed the discrimination on our first attempt. Since COVID, they've allowed two attempts at the same course. He used to never miss tunnel/contact discriminations.

TIL that he still knows what "touch" means, so apparently, at least in this environment, we have a 2o2o on the a-frame. I was never in love with it, but it's going to mean way less reps of training than teaching something new. It needs to be tested elsewhere, but we can see what happens.

I was planning to run the "round 2" course today, but his weaves were ho-hum towards the end of the second round, so I decided he was done. Those are the most physically taxing on him, which I think makes them a bit mentally taxing as well. So I'll go back Friday and give the next course a whirl.

So if they mark this a Q, it'd be his second Elite Regular Q. One more for his EAC. I'm hoping to run a Chances course too, so we can hopefully finish his ECC. Only 1 more needed for that. Then he'll be qualified for 2025 Champs. Still dunno if we'll go, but we can keep playing around.

Unlocking the Russian Market: The Vital Role of GOST R Marking Certification in Export Success

In the huge scene of worldwide trade, the Russian market holds immense potential for organizations looking for development. Nonetheless, exploring this market expects adherence to explicit guidelines and standards, with the GOST R Marking Certificate arising as a vital participant in guaranteeing compliance.

In this article, we dig into why GOST R Certification is imperative for organizations hoping to trade their items to the Russian market.

The GOST Endorsement is a true certification that the items meet the public Russian quality and security necessities.

In 1925, the Gosstandard - the National Committee for Standardisation - was laid out in the USSR, which was liable for the advancement of the general principles. Later the public guidelines of the Soviet Union - GOST standards arose. The GOST framework was totally taken over by Russia from Soviet principles. Right up until now, the GOST R Marking are generally utilized, and the subsequent certification of congruity remains required for some items.

Legal Framework

The GOST certification offers a few free informed bodies, which are certified by Rosstandart, who are approved to give declarations as per test reports - for which the nature of the items is examined. The reason for GOST accreditation is the regulation of the Russian League, specifically:

"The government regulation on technical guideline"

Directive of the Government of the Russian Federation from 01.12.2009 №982

The letter of the Federal Tax Service from 20.02.2009 №01-11/7403

Directive of the Government of the Russian Federation 2425 from 23.12.2021

GOST declarations have a validity time of as long as 3 years inside the domain of the GOST Certificate Russia Organization. Without the important GOST authentications, the products may not pass the Russian boundary.

On 1 September 2022, the new Directive of the Government of the Russian Federation of 23 December 2021 N 2425 " On Adoption of the Unified List of Products Subject to Certification and the Unified List of Products Subject to Declaration, on Introduction of Amendments to the Government Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of 31 December 2020 N 2467 and on Invalidation of Certain Laws of the Government of the Russian Federation" went into force. The announcement incorporates new arrangements of items that fall under either GOST accreditation or GOST R Certificate statement. It negates the Mandate 982.

The certificates of conformity that were as yet given as per Government Request No. 982 are substantial for the period for which they were given, however no longer than until 1 September 2025.

As a result of the coordination of public safety guidelines between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the past public specialized guidelines, for example, the Russian GOST and TR certificate were progressively gotten rid of and subbed by the new specialized guidelines of the EAEU (TR EAEU) in each modern area. Notwithstanding the EAC Certificate, the EAC declaration has likewise been acquainted with the Customs Union as an easier and more affordable type of certification of similarity.

Application Region

All items covered by the public authority order from 1.12.2009 no. 982 are dependent upon the GOST mandatory certification for products to Russia. The rundown of items, which must be affirmed according to the GOST certificate, contains in excess of 100 items. Counting the accompanying merchandise:

Game and salvage boats

Game and hunting weapons

Boilers

Cooling units

Power links

Mining apparatus

Transport lines

Lines and line parts

Steel ropes

It is essential to take note of that for items and item bunches that are on the refreshed rundown interestingly, the cutoff time for the section into power of the prerequisites has been delayed to 01.09.2023. It concerns such items as tension lines made of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (for cold water supply); plastic fittings; athletic gear like bows, sabers, and blades; and development items made of cement.

Required Documents

We create and interpret the specialized documentation, which is required for the EAC Certificate or EAC Declaration as indicated by specialized guidelines

The accompanying records are required while applying for a GOST declaration:

Application for GOST Standards

Existing certificates: ISO, Noise, CE, CB

Test reports

Itemized item portrayal

Guidance manual

Specialized identification

Contingent upon the sort of ensured items, extra archives and certificates might be required.

GOST Certification Process

There are 3 possibilities for GOST certification in Russia: obligatory accreditation, discretionary certification, and declaration of conformity.

GOST Compulsory Certification

Merchandise that connects with safety viewpoints is by and large dependent upon the GOST necessary certification. These are over the entirety of youngsters' things or medication, as well as a wide range of modern hardware. The GOST declaration can be applied to both one-time delivery and sequential delivery. All products certified by the GOST standard are to be set apart with a unique certification mark.

The rundown of products that are under the GOST obligatory certification guideline covered by the public authority order from 1.12.2009 no. 982.

Conclusion:

In the unique scene of global trade, the GOST R Certification remains a door to outcome in the Russian market. Past administrative compliance, an essential venture ingrains trust, mitigates chances, and opens admittance to a tremendous purchaser base.

For organizations looking at a venture into Russia, getting GOST R Marking isn't simply a need; it's an essential step towards sending out progress and sustainable development.

GDPR Services Market Growth Rate, Business Opportunities and Emerging Technologies and Key Company Profiles

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global GDPR services market is projected to reach USD 4,047.5 million at a CAGR of 23.4% from 2019 to 2025 (forecast period). The report summarises the market opportunities and market ramifications that arose as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

GDPR compliance provides transparency between the customer and the company. With the advent of GDPR in 2018, companies across various industry verticals had to restructure their entire business processing systems in line with different compliances. Some of the main countries that lead all other countries in GDPR compliance include the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands. More than 50% of companies operating in these countries have mostly or entirely become compliant with GDPR. In terms of industry verticals, manufacturing, retail, utilities, and telecommunications were leading in GDPR compliance. Companies operating in these sectors have spent a large share of their global revenues on restructuring their business processes according to GDPR compliance. US-based businesses are expected to spend between USD 2-10 million to meet GDPR requirements. This share is projected to be higher for European-based firms. The whole idea behind GDPR was to rebuild the trust of customers between different companies and create a more transparent environment for customers to openly share their personal data without being violated, lost, or misused.

Market Dynamics

With the rising need to become compliant with GDPR, demand for various GDPR solutions and services is increasing. This, in turn, is serving as a significant factor for the growth of the market. Over the last three years, businesses that were not compliant with the GDPR have had to pay substantial penalties. For example, in July 2019, British Airways was fined USD 223.5 million (proposed penalty by ICO) by the United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) for a data breach under GDPR. The fine amounted to 1.5% of British Airways’ annual global turnover in 2017. The fine was levied after the ICO investigation found that the company did not take strict security measures to secure the personal data of approximately 500,000 customers. Weak security arrangements to secure customer information have resulted in the loss of personal data to half a million customers of the airline. Therefore, in order to avoid such high penalties, companies are restructuring their business operations. This, in fact, drives the overall market for GDPR services.

Kenya Pipeline Company: Pushing Boundaries and Soaring

New Post has been published on https://newscheckz.com/kenya-pipeline-company-pushing-boundaries-and-soaring/

Kenya Pipeline Company: Pushing Boundaries and Soaring

Inadequate infrastructure has been blamed for the slow pace of commercialization of crude oil in Kenya as the country seeks about $5 billion (Sh500 billion) to develop and expand fuel facilities.

One state parastatal however is now banking on its vast infrastructure countrywide to foster the future of energy.

Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) is the country’s prime institution charged with the mandate to enhance, operate and maintain pipeline infrastructure in Kenya.

Now, the oil distribution company seeks to grow in scale as it leverages its comparative advantage in the oil and gas niche.

KPC operates 5 storage and distribution depots for imported refined petroleum products, located in Eldoret, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nairobi and Mombasa and which feed from the Kipevu Oil Storage Facility (KOSF) in Mombasa.

The company also operates two aviation fuel depots at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, and Moi International Airport, Mombasa.

The company is mandated to transport petroleum products from Mombasa to the hinterland, and through this mandate generates revenue for the Government of Kenya through dividends and taxes.

Unlike some State corporations, KPC does not depend on government subsidies, but is a self-funded commercial enterprise.

OIL

Oil mishandling and pollution can have devastating effects on the environment, and in cases of spillage, it can spread over any surface in a thin film thereby suffocating living organisms beneath.

KPC, however, has been at the forefront of maintaining international standards and quality of oil, mitigating oil-related incidents and setting rules and regulations that govern transportation and usage of petroleum products in the country since its inception in 1978.

As part of its expanding role in the oil and gas subsector, KPC leased Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited (KPRL) in 2017 and has continue to develop the facility to receive trucked crude oil from the Lokichar Basin which culminated in the first ever crude oil export from East Africa.

The company’s growing investments in KPRL include rehabilitation of crude oil tanks, receipt and discharge pipelines and the connection to the new oil jetty at Kipevu Oil Terminal (KOT). This will culminate in the full acquisition of the facility slated for the current fiscal year 2020/21.

SAFETY

KPC has state-of-the-art product testing laboratories meant for testing all petroleum products before they are admitted into its system.

This ensures all such products meet the applicable international quality standards which translates into safe handling and use by consumers.

The company transports products through pipelines built to international standards; a safe mode of transportation aimed at limiting product exposure to the surroundings.

While within the depots, products are handled in storage facilities fitted with advanced fire detection and protection systems to ensure their safety.

In addition, customer trucks that lift products from KPC depots are subjected to thorough safety inspections as a means of ensuring they are safe to handle such highly flammable products.

Those found not to conform to standards are prevented from accessing depots because they would not only be unsafe to handle petroleum products, but also pose a danger to the depots KPC operates and owns.

TRANSPORTATION AND LOGISTICS

In a bid to ensure that KPC alongside other key government parastatals runs smoothly, His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta issued Executive Order No. 5 of 2020 on 7th August, 2020 establishing a framework for the management, coordination and integration of port, railway and pipeline services under the Kenya Transport and Logistics Network (KTLN).

The network brings together Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) and Kenya Pipeline Company Limited (KPC) under the co-ordination of the Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (ICDC).

This joint agreement will establish a unified and coordinated national transport and logistics network whose aim is to lower the cost of doing business through the provision of port, rail and pipeline services in a cost-effective manner within acceptable shared benchmark standards.

The collaboration is expected to go a long way in bolstering the business relationship that has existed between KPA, KPC and KRC over decades.

KPC’s funding collaboration has also enabled the Kenya Railways Corporation, the Kenya Defence Forces and the National Youth Service rehabilitate the Nairobi-Nanyuki Railway, which is going to be transformative for the Mt Kenya and Northern Kenya regions.

In effect, the extra revenue generated by Kenya Pipeline has been used to partly fund the President’s Big 4 Agenda being: food security, affordable housing, manufacturing and affordable healthcare for all.

KPC, through special dividends remitted to the Exchequer, has contributed Sh1.8 billion for the Nairobi-Nanyuki railway refurbishment; Sh2.7 billion for the Nakuru-Kisumu railway line rehabilitation and Sh400 million for the Port of Kisumu upgrade.

It further remitted an extra Sh11.2 billion to the Government in the 2019/20 financial year. All this revenue contributes to stimulation of Kenya’s economic recovery and growth.

COVID-19 MEASURES

As the effects of Covid-19 ravaged the country, KPC rolled out a free sanitizer campaign. “Amidst the hard-economic times, we unburdened the poor and vulnerable members of our society from buying sanitizers.

The trust between us, the Oil Marketing Companies and other like-minded stakeholders ensured that we successfully rolled out the campaign.

We produced over 1.6 million litres of sanitizer which was distributed to the most vulnerable groups in all 47 counties,” said Dr. Irungu.

In addition, KPC donated Sh55 million to the National Youth Service to produce masks which went a long way in assisting the less fortunate access masks.

Over 1.5 million masks were produced and distributed to the most vulnerable groups in the society across the 47 counties in Kenya.

FIBRE-OPTIC CABLING

To keep up with the developments and rate of growth in the sector, KPC has embraced modern technologies and trends to ensure work is quicker, more efficient and secure.

According to Dr. Irungu, the Corporation has capitalized vastly on a modern 96 core fiber optic cable that is about 1,000 KMs long across the cable plant.

“This network cable runs along the company’s pipeline network from the port city of Mombasa to Nakuru where it branches off to both Eldoret and Kisumu.

We are licensed by the Communications Authority of Kenya to lease the fiber resource to telecommunications providers who in turn use it to carry data traffic through a Tier 2 Network Infrastructure License.

Our partners in the data carrier space include Safaricom PLC, Jamii Telecom, & Wananchi Telecom,” he mentioned.

The cable design is so flexible that it enables these telecommunication service providers to serve their clients in townships along the Mombasa-Nairobi-Nakuru-Eldoret & Kisumu commercial corridor and the surrounding areas comfortably without experiencing lagging and downtime.

Despite stiff competition in high speed internet provision in the region, KPC’s fiber cable offering remains the most sort after and secure over the competition’s due to its enhanced protection against damage or fiber cuts.

This is also coupled with the fact that it runs underground next to the oil pipeline thus making it highly available and extremely reliable for internet and other data services at 99% availability.

MORENDAT INSTITUTE OF OIL AND GAS

Morendat Institute of Oil & Gas (MIOG), is a Centre of Excellence established through an EAC Heads of State Summit resolution to offer capacity building in oil pipeline management, operations and maintenance in the Great Lakes Region.

The institute embraces the competency-based education and training model which calls for 70% practical, and 30% theory training.

This methodology which embodies theoretical and skills-based training, offers programs which can be accessed both online and offline; thus it prepares and assesses trainees through real life, hands-on training.

Programs are embedded in two standard classrooms with more than 80 specialized training programs which can be accessed by between 24 to 30 students simultaneously.

The 80 programs contain 4,800 lessons and about 1,000 interactive experiments.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the smooth running of MIOG’s training schedule due to the need for social distancing.

The new normal occasioned by the coronavirus reality has compelled the Institute to embrace an online competency-based curriculum, despite other learning institutions having closed their educational facilities for almost a year.

The most affected courses were technical ones which cannot be considered complete without the trainees’ undergoing the actual hands-on training experience.

To ameliorate these effects, the Institute made use of its Smart Classroom technology which was introduced in 2019 and established in line with KPC’s Vision 2025 which aims at setting up an oil and gas investments hub in the region, thus entrenching Kenya as the gateway to East & Central Africa.

Among the online courses successfully conducted during the pandemic were: Workplace Safety, Health and Environment, Fundamentals of Oil and Gas Operations, permit to Work (PTW) Systems, and Domestic Safety.

MIOG is accredited by Technical, Vocational and Education Authority (TVETA) and complies with the Kenyan TVET Act, Curriculum Development Assessment and Certification Council (CDACC), and the National Qualification Authority (NQA) rules and regulations.

CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENT

KPC has established strong Corporate Social Investment (CSI) programs where its collaborates closely with all the communities in Kenya, and especially those neighbouring our installations which include depots, pump stations and other facilities along our easement which stretches from Mombasa, traversing 14 Counties to Kisumu and Eldoret.

These CSI programs include a scholarship program famously known as “Inuka”, meant to benefit the needy and People Living with Disability (PWDs).

The twofold program; Inuka Social Empowerment Program, is aimed at enabling PWDs – access skills-based training and other economic opportunities; and the Inuka Scholarship Program enables PWDs access secondary level education.

Since its inception in 2016, the Company has consistently sponsored beneficiaries in all the 47 counties through the Inuka Scholarship Program, educating one child per county.

“Through the company’s CSR, we have been able to offer scholarship to children living with disabilities to access secondary school education.

I can happily confirm that we have enrolled a total of 188 girls and 188 boys under the special program,” said Dr Irungu.

Those who will successfully complete their secondary school education will continue to enjoy the company’s support until they achieve their aspirations in their chosen fields.

Through the scholarship program, KPC has spent approximately Sh52 million, translating to Sh14 million every year.

In addition, the Company has built a girls’ dormitory at Karare Secondary School in Marsabit County to retain girls in school where they are encouraged and mentored to take up science courses as well as motivate them to value education.

Considering that the locality in the past has considered girl-child education a waste of time and resources, this is a great feat.

Educational sponsorship is just one of many programs the company is supporting through its Foundation.

Such programs are aligned with focused areas as detailed in its CSI policy. These programs cover different sectors such as: education, health & environment, water and sanitation, sports for development and support for special groups, among others.

Other successful CSI projects include: Kochodin High School in Turkana County where KPC donated Kshs 10 Million towards the construction of a dormitory, two classrooms and two pit latrines.

This is in realization of an earlier promise by His Excellency, President Uhuru Kenyatta, to the people of Ngamia 1 in Turkana County.

At the cost of Sh5 Million, KPC also constructed a modern science laboratory at Lokitaung Girls High School in Turkana South.

This in line with the company’s policy to empower girls in science related subjects. Other key projects backed by the Company include the construction of four classrooms at Uswet Primary School the construction of a modern Library at Hema Secondary School in Kisii County, sponsorship of medical camps across the country as well as sponsoring various sports disciplines and clubs.

The countdown to implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area in East Africa

New Post has been published on http://khalilhumam.com/the-countdown-to-implementing-the-african-continental-free-trade-area-in-east-africa/

The countdown to implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area in East Africa

By Andrew Mold The implementation stage of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is due to begin in under three months. While the COVID-19 crisis has undoubtedly complicated the picture, the East Africa region is actually well-placed to implement the AfCFTA. Despite the skepticism expressed in some quarters about the ability of countries to get the landmark trade agreement up and running, there are strong reasons for optimism. Thus far, it is true that only five countries in Eastern Africa have deposited their ratification of the AfCFTA. However, it is not the number of countries that counts but the fact that a regional block of contiguous countries—representing around three-quarters of regional GDP—is coalescing. From January 1, 2021, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda will all begin a reduction in their tariffs—starting with a linear reduction on 90 percent of tariff lines—leading to the elimination of tariffs on intra-regional imports over a period of five years (10 years in the case of countries classified by the United Nations as “least developed countries”); by the standards of regional trade agreements, this pace of liberalization will be quite rapid.

Figure 1. East African countries that have deposited the ratification of the AfCFTA with the African Union, September 2020

Source: TRALAC, 2020 One of the big boons for the region from the AfCFTA will be unblocking the trade barriers between Kenya and Ethiopia—the two largest economies in eastern Africa. Despite previous efforts to deepen economic relations, the volumes of bilateral trade between the two remain exceedingly low. In fact, total bilateral trade did not even reach $70 million in 2019, accounting for just 0.5 percent of Ethiopia’s total exports and 0.09 percent of Kenya’s, and consisting principally of food and live animals and some manufactured goods (Table 1).

Table 1. Bilateral Ethiopian/Kenyan trade, 2015-2019 (millions USD and %)

Source: IMF Direction of Trade Statistics The reasons for this neglect so far of these neighboring markets are fairly clear and go beyond the usual considerations of prevailing low per capita incomes. On the one hand, Ethiopia retains a fairly protectionist tariff policy, with high tariff peaks in particular sectors. But East African Community (EAC) members like Kenya (and not Ethiopia) also currently impose a high common external tariff on imports of Ethiopian goods in spite of the fact that both countries are members of regional grouping the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA). The reason is that Ethiopia has not yet acceded to the COMESA Free Trade Area, and, hence, relatively high tariffs are still imposed on bilateral trade. A similar problem impacts Burundian, Rwandan, and Ugandan trade with neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)—all are members of COMESA, yet the DRC has yet to accede to the FTA. In principle, the implementation of the AfCFTA will pave the way for a rapid dismantling of such impediments to cross-border trade. Alongside the removal of tariff barriers, the AfCFTA will also focus attention on outstanding nontariff barriers (NTBs), an important step toward increased trade in the region as studies consistently show that NTBs constrain intra-regional trade as much as or even more than tariff barriers. East Africa has already made some progress in this area by, for example, installing 25 one-stop border posts, significantly reducing the time taken for goods to pass through customs. Accompanying regional programs to the AfCFTA, like the African Union’s Action Plan for Boosting Intra-Africa Trade (BIAT), should help accelerate the progress. To be sure, East Africa will continue to face a number of challenges, including one shared by all countries on the continent: the need to rapidly finalize the tariff offers and outstanding negotiations on the rules of origin as well as the schedules on services trade offers. This shared challenge will be particularly tough as the negotiations in areas like services and those in phase II such as competition and intellectual property policies will inevitably be quite complex and highly technical. A second challenge is peculiar to the East African Community. Of the six members, only three have so far ratified the AfCFTA. Because the regional block of the EAC is a customs union and, consequently, has a common external tariff (CET), without further ratification of the AfCFTA by the other three member states, problems for the integrity of the CET will arise. Rules of origin in principle may limit this problem, but their liberal application will lead to greater bureaucratic overheads and increase the risk of trade diversion (whereby trade is diverted from a more efficient exporter toward a less efficient one because of the differential tariffs being applied). This could thereby reduce the benefits derived from the AfCFTA. Thus, the greater the degree of harmonization of trade policy regimes within East Africa, the better, as this will facilitate deeper regional economic integration and pave the way for the eventual formation of an African-wide customs union, as contemplated under the AfCFTA agreement. A third related question is how to manage future trade negotiations with third parties. Mindful of the consequences of a possible phasing out of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) in 2025, Kenya has already entered into negotiations with the aim of establishing a free trade agreement with the United States. Eager to establish new trade deals after its departure from the European Union, the United Kingdom is also approaching a number of countries in the region. The Kenya-U.S. free trade agreement has been particularly controversial, but perhaps unduly so: In principle, there is nothing impeding countries in East Africa from negotiating with third parties. However, for the reasons explained above with respect to rules of origin, it is better to avoid totally disparate approaches to third-party negotiations. In short, to move forward decisively with AfCFTA implementation, East Africa needs to be better integrated both internally and with the wider African economy. However, it would be preferable, wherever possible, that national policy is aligned and that the regional blocks move together. By reenergizing existing commitments, such as those attained through COMESA and the EAC, or those envisaged under the Tripartite Agreement between SADC, COMESA, and the EAC, the AfCFTA will provide the perfect framework to achieve that goal.

Costa Coffee – which sells nearly half a billion drinks in takeaway cups every year – argued against the proposals to make customers pay more for them, just before the chancellor Philip Hammond dropped plans for the levy in last year’s autumn budget, according to a freedom of information request by Greenpeace’s investigative journalism unit Unearthed.

MPs on the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) had recommended the levy should be brought in, and trials – including one in Westminster itself – have shown they drastically cut the number of cups thrown away.

However, just before Mr Hammond’s budget, Costa claimed the government would be “deliberately targeting coffee drinkers” and questioned whether cups made from plastic and paper could be deemed single-use plastic, according to documents [...]

Although plans for a nationwide scheme were scrapped, a 25p surcharge on takeaway cups in the Houses of Parliament introduced in October 2018 led to the number of cups plummeting from 58,000 a month to 15,000 per month.

Greenpeace UK ocean plastics campaigner Fiona Nicholls said it was “galling” the Treasury scrapped plans for a levy on throwaway cups after “obstructive lobbying” from Costa.

“We know the ‘latte levy’ works because when it was introduced in Westminster it led to 74 per cent fewer throwaway cups being used. The government must act on this evidence and introduce a charge without delay,” she said.A trial latte levy scheme carried out earlier this year by the universities of Sussex and Winchester showed the UK nationally could save in excess of 700 million cups every year.

Instead of applying a tax, ministers decided it was better for shops to offer voluntary discounts. The EAC said at the time the decision showed the government was not serious about reducing plastic waste.

In its submission to the Treasury in May last year, Costa said: “Costa does not support a tax on single-use cups. Taxation of cups would only add an additional unwelcome tax burden on UK consumers and currently there is no clear evidence as to how a tax will improve the recycling infrastructure or affect behaviour of those who litter.”

The business also said the government should be wary of “promoting the view that single-use plastics are not recyclable”, arguing this could lead to consumers just throwing cups away.

Costa said the main barrier to making cups 100 per cent recyclable is poor infrastructure and “consumer behaviour”.

Coffee cups are 95 per cent paper but the thin lining inside the cup (which prevents leakage) makes them extremely hard and expensive to recycle. There are currently three specialist recycling facilities in the UK that can separate the plastic lining from the paper, meaning just 4 per cent of cups get recycled.

In its response to the consultation, McDonald’s said consumers “should not suffer financial consequences as a result of any tax system changes”.

The fast food chain also said the definition of “single-use” plastic should be based on how recyclable the plastic is and not the number of times it is used, and argued that plastic bottles are “by far the most effective way of supplying water to consumers” and “play a vital role in society”.

In response to this story, McDonald’s said: “Since these comments were made, in response to the government consultation, we’ve swapped plastic for paper straws, signed the UK Plastics Pact, and our customers can have their own water bottles refilled in our restaurants.”

In its submission, Coca-Cola – which brought Costa in January this year – acknowledged that “public awareness of the potential negative impacts of single-use plastics has risen considerably in the last 12 months”, but added: “However, the benefits of plastics cannot be ignored.” A spokesperson told The Independent: “We support the introduction of a well-designed deposit return scheme, and reform of the producer-responsibility system to ensure that more of our packaging is recovered and recycled.”

In his budget speech last year, Mr Hammond announced plans to tax all plastic packaging containing less than 30 per cent recycled content, from April 2022. At the time he said the UK would be “a world leader in tackling the scourge of plastic littering our planet and our oceans”.

Leaked documents showed the UK’s leading plastic trade group, the British Plastics Federation (BPF), pushed to weaken the tax despite its own analysis showing a levy would significantly increase the use of recycled materials in packaging.

A spokesperson for the BPF commented to Unearthed at the time, saying: “The plastics industry wants to increase the amount of recycled content in its products and we are working to overcome the numerous technical challenges to introducing 30 per cent recycled content across all plastic packaging formats. These are due to food safety laws and the need to keep packaging as resource-efficient as possible.”

He argued that using recycled content could sometimes “result in using more plastic, not less” and said that it could make products “extremely difficult to recycle”.

The spokesperson added: “It is for these reasons that the plastics industry is providing detailed information to the government to ensure the best environmental outcome, and that the money is invested in improving our national collection and recycling infrastructure.

The growth in single-use consumer plastics has fuelled a surge in plastic pollution around the world. It is estimated there are now 5.25 trillion pieces of ocean plastic debris, and a recent report estimated the quantity of plastic in the sea will treble by 2025.

The UK currently throws away 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups a year, which is enough to circle the planet five and a half times.

A government spokesperson said: “We are committed to eliminating avoidable plastic waste, and as we develop our policies on extended producer responsibility we will continue to explore ways to encourage reuse and increase recycling rates, including for takeaway cups.

“Businesses are already taking steps to limit their environmental impact, but we expect industry to go further and will return to the issue if sufficient progress is not made.”
