The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national standards authority of India, responsible for ensuring product quality, safety, and reliability. Any foreign manufacturer who wants to sell regulated products in the Indian market must comply with BIS requirements. For this purpose, BIS has introduced a dedicated certification route called BIS FMCS.
BIS FMCS, also known as the Foreign Manufacturers Certification Scheme (FMCS), allows overseas manufacturers to obtain a BIS FMCS License and legally export their products to India.

The United Kingdom is considering new immigration measures that could make it harder for citizens of Nigeria, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka to obtain visas, citing high rates of overstays and subsequent asylum claims.

According to information first published by The Times on Tuesday, the UK Home Office is preparing to introduce stricter visa policies targeting nationalities identified as having a greater likelihood of remaining in the country beyond the terms of their visas.

In recent years there has been a surge in the number of Nigerians relocating abroad in search of greener pastures, a phenomenon now popularly known as japa in Nigeria.

UK authorities say a pattern of individuals arriving on work or study permits and later seeking asylum triggered the proposed restrictions.

A spokesperson for the Home Office confirmed that a forthcoming Immigration White Paper will outline steps to reform the system.

“Our upcoming Immigration White Paper will set out a comprehensive plan to restore order to our broken immigration system,”

“To tackle abuse by foreign nationals who arrive on work and study visas and go on to claim asylum, we are building intelligence on the profile of these individuals to identify them earlier and faster.

The Thrones of Stone: Who Rules Knoken?
Knoken has no king by blood. Only by balance.
In the dwarven capital of Knoken, the ruler is not born — they are elected. But this is no simple vote. The process is ancient, sacred, and perilous.
Power flows through three mighty roots:
The Great Clans — noble families of dwarven blood, each with its own loyal clientele of artisans, warriors, merchants, and spies. Their rivalries run centuries deep, their alliances shift like tectonic plates beneath the stone.
The Clergy — devoted to the Four High Gods:
Fanti, god of gems and radiant splendor.
Kraab, the eternal archivist and keeper of law.
Ludi, goddess of freedom, laughter, and creativity.
Odis, grim god of acceptance, duty, and death.
Each god’s temple wields moral and magical authority — and often disagrees on who deserves the crown.
The Factions — secretive or formal powers that transcend clan and temple:
The Order of the Wall Keepers, protectors of dwarven history and bastions.
The Guild of Jewelers, whose wealth can sway entire councils.
The Wild, nomads and reformists who walk freely where others fear.
The Corruption, a hidden cabal seeking something beneath the mountain.
The Shore, a network of spies who trade in silence and secrets.
When the throne is empty, these forces converge. Debates erupt. Bribes and omens flow. The deepest chambers of Knoken hum with oaths, threats, and whispered miracles.
The one who rises is not the strongest, nor the wisest — but the one who weaves the threads best.
Who will sit next upon the Stone Throne?
I know that of course but what would you imagine as the current... and the next leader ?

Security Tips you should know before lodging in hotel.

1) Once you're in your hotel room, turn off the lights. Use your phone camera as a scanner. Move the phone camera around to detect hidden cameras.

2) Move a piece of furniture behind the door to prevent break-ins. Furniture like the bed or chair. If you cannot move your bed, hang a utensil or cup on the door handle to create noise if someone tries to enter, which will wake you up.

3) If you're alone, leave the key inside the door after locking to prevent unauthorized entry in case any hotel staff have a spare key. But if you're with someone you don't fully trust, avoid this.

4) Let someone know your location by calling them in the presence of the receptionist. You can make a statement like "Na this Usman hotel I dey o, if you no see my call tomorrow, mek men enter oo."

5) Before lodging, you can record a long conversation with someone, either a friend or family member, and then play it through a Bluetooth speaker while you're lodging, especially at night. This can scare away intruders because they will think you're on a live call with someone.

6) Check under the bed in case anything is hidden. Check around the room in case someone is hiding.

7) Bring your own towel and toiletries. Don't use hotel toiletries or towel.

Don't sleep nákéd Incase of emergencies.

9) Be careful with hotels that have underground rooms. Bád people might use them to hûrt you.

10) Make sure you make payment with ATM. When you make payment with an ATM, the bank has full details of the receiving account and your location. If the hotel doesn't accept ATM payments, it might be a red flag. Consider walking away.

WHAT WOMEN NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEN...✍🏾

1. Men don't read minds. If you want him to know you and what's on your mind, tell him.

2. A man loves it when his woman brags about him.

3. A man hates it when things he shares with his woman are told to her girlfriends as juicy gossip.

4. The number one thing a man finds sexy is her heart, the man serious about love might look at a woman with a gorgeous body but he only chases after and keeps the one with a good heart.

5. Men don't think about sex all the time. It means alot to him to have a woman he can talk to deep and intelligent stuff. His need for sexual stimulation is high and scattered, but his need for mental stimulation is constant.

6. The easiest way to keep him from spending too much time with his friends at the expense of you, is to make sure being with you is more fun, more intelligently stimulating, more stress-free than being with his friends.

7. Every good man loves his woman more than his friends, but if he spends more time with his friends it's to escape the stress he gets when with her.

8. The more you nag, the more he will avoid you.

9. Men want to express their feelings, but will only do so when they feel safe. How much he lets you be there for him depends on how much he thinks you can handle his issues.

10. Don't fight his favourite past time, embrace it. If he loves football, watch matches with him or buy him a jersey. If he loves to swim, swim with him or just check him out as you chill by the pool. If he loves to dance, dance with him even if you are not a pro. The more you do things with him, the more he will value your company, the more he will in return learn to like or accommodate what you like.

11. No matter what happens in your marriage, make sure your sex-life doesn't suffer. Don't ever use sex as a weapon to attack him or punish him.

12. If he truly loves you, he will still find you sexy whether you gain or lose weight. The thing is always know how to dress and look sexy no matter your size; men can pick up a woman's confidence.

13. When you give birth, don't focus too much on being a great mother that you forget to remain a great wife.

14. Men also love to be listened to. Be his confidant. Find out how he is, how his day has been. He has feelings too. Let it not always be about you.

15. Don't jump into conclusions quickly when you hear rumors about him or think he is cheating or fooling around. Confront him gently with love, it will make him respect you more. He should never feel you are quick to leave his team, be rational.

16. Know that good men are constantly being bashed by society because of what the bad ones have done and are doing. Look at him as an individual, celebrate him

17. The more you appreciate his efforts, the more he will do for you.

18. Don't let your hurry to get married put him off. Don't rush love.

19. A man and a woman may not grow ready at the same pace. Don't force a marriage proposal out of him, if he loves you and is serious, be sure he is planning the proposal. The more comfortable you make him, the easier you make it for him; the more you rush him, the more he starts to feel used.

20. A man will always be publicly proud of the woman he admires, be admirable.

21. The number one cause for a man to feel less important and threatened in a woman's life is when he has little money or he can't adequately provide. This is one of most crucial moments when he needs his woman to affirm him that she still loves him and the two will find a way.

22. It's not that men are intimidated by women with power and success it's just that they detest the pride of some of these women with power and success. You wouldn't want to be with a proud man so full of himself just because he has lots of money and success; neither do the men want to be with such a woman.

23. Never praise another man yet belittle your man. A man will not hesitate to walk away from a woman who sees him as nothing.

24. When an issue has been resolved between you and your man, move past it. It is retrogressive to dig up resolved fights to prove how right you are and how wrong he is.

25. Patience with a man will take you far. Many women miss out on the growth with a man because they want perfect right now.

26. Submitting to a man doesn't mean you are his slave, it just means giving him the authority to build with you, to nourish you, to look out for you and be concerned about your well being.

HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN.
Dear Parents Please, carefully look at the list below and identify where you may want to make amends on yourself or on the young ones you are bringing up.

Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if both parents are at the top of their careers.
Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, wealth or your reach or influence:

1) Going to your child's school indecently dressed. (Think again).

2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher.

3) Cursing, using foul language or swearing words in front of your children.

4) Using makeup on children.

5) Dressing your little children up indecently (they loose their sense of Princess Hood).

6) Putting earrings on your son's ears.

7) Your child holds the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct.

8) Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. (You will be blamed for it).

9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day.

10) Your children bringing home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. (that is the beginning of stealing).

11) The Children talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st century Parent. (You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined).

12) The Children interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners).

13) The Children exercising authority over the Nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. (that is bad parenting).

14) The Children saying things like "my driver is on his way..." I do not advocate that children should call your domestic staff Uncle, Aunty or Brother, calling them by Name when they are not young people is not proper either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them.

15) Your children don't say a 'thank you' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting).

16) When your Children cannot stand children who are less privileged.

18) When the Children pick their noses with their hands.

19) When the Children don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom or after returning from school or outside visits.

20) When your Children take something from the fridge without seeking permission. (Bad parenting).

21) When your Children don't knock on closed doors and wait for a response before opening the door.

22) When your Children don't collect from your hands items you brought in as you walk into your home.

23) When your Children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra tasks. (That is disgraceful).

24) When your Children act like their Grandparents irritate them. (It's a Transferable Curse).

25) When your Children have not learnt to get up from the Chair for the Elderly or Visitors to sit.

26) When your Child tells lot of Lies. (You will both cry in the future).

27) When your Children ask "who is that?" at a knock on the door instead of "please, may I know who is there."

28) When your Child is always seated by your Visitors when being served Drinks or Food.

29) When your Children still point their fingers at other people, when talking to or speaking about them.

30) When your Children play and jump around when Prayers are going on. (These can apply to Children from Ages 4 and Above).

31) When a child wakes up in the morning, just staring at his/her Parents and Elders without greeting. (It is a bad habit and does not show good upbringing).

• Don't be a 21st Century Parents who can't correct their Children.

• Train your Children in the way of the Lord so that when they grow up they will not depart from such Godly Training or Upbringing.

IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM; IF NOT, YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY!.
