Police have warned that rats' droppings, human urine and arsenic have all been found in potentially lethal fake beauty products on sale to British consumers.
Counterfeit make-up, perfume, hair straighteners and sun creams are all affected , warn the City of London Police.

Authenticating products has become more challenging as shoppers are unable to physically inspect items before committing to purchase them . Police warned that criminals are using generic stock images to deceive consumers into believing the items they are browsing are authentic.

Introduction of SCM

INTRODUCTION OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM) A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of procurement of materials, transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to customers. Supply chains exist in both service and manufacturing organizations, although the complexity of the chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and firm to firm. Supply chain management is typically viewed to lie between fully vertically integrated firms, where the entire material flow is owned by a single firm and those where each channel member operates independently. Therefore coordination between the various players in the chain is key in its effective management

The End Of Money - Adam Rothstein

! First of all, what exactly is bitcoin? It is a new type of digital currency called cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is not controlled by banks or national governments. It’s generated by a network of computers using software to solve mathematical problems. It relies on its heart and soul called a blockchain. It makes sure that it’s impossible for someone to counterfeit bitcoin. Traditional currencies like euro, rely on producing notes that are difficult to fake. But it’s easy to replace digital files. So this is the main reason why crypto needs blockchain. In simple terms, the blockchain lists all of the units of the cryptocurrency and who owns them. If you tried to replicate those coins and spend them, you would be found out since they are not in the blockchain. The blockchain means that bitcoins never actually need to exist. No one sends the coins anywhere, they just update the blockchain to show who owns them.

Misusing and Abusing the IoT ( Ingliskeelne referaat andmeturve ITX0040 jaoks)

go to sleep, which shows and topics interest him the most and so forth. The raw data could be then sold to the highest bidder or it could be organized. By collecting data from multiple sources, you could probably write a multiple pages long description of a person, just by monitoring his devices, which are connected into the IoT. This organized data would be of great importance, for example to companies which are involved in the advertising business, police and other law maintaining structures, criminals and other third parties for different reasons. Sensitive data could also be very well used to extort people or force them to do things which are useful for the extortionist. The biggest harm from such activity could come in a political form, where dictators or other corrupt officials could control and threaten their political opponents by threatening to reveal some kind of personal information.

To what extent does the media influence foreign policy?

China as it was the most talked about topic in the country. According to one authority on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, two hashtags, loosely translated to “Chinese Tourists Abused by Swedish Police” and “Swedish TV Show Insults China”, received more than 220 million views, making it one of the most read issues on the platform for the year. The Chinese government reacted instantly because of social media furore and accused Swedish police of brutality and violenting the basic human rights. The timing of the statement made clear that this was a response due to pressure from social media, far more than concerns for the safety of the family involved. (T. Olsen-Boyd, 2019) It is a good example of where media and public opinion is forcing the government to act in a certain way and to respond to public opinion. Media influences can have also negative consequences. For example, when the media
