KUALA LUMPUR: Police busted a "internet parcel scam" syndicate after arresting five Nigerian nationals and their lover who allegedly bore several of their children.
The 42-year-old Malaysian national, who has been the lover of all five of the syndicate members, is said to have borne 12 children with several different fathers and has worked for the syndicate impersonating government and bank officials to scam their victims.
The woman, who also worked as a bank account holder for the syndicate, also admitted to allegedly receiving RM1.5mil to RM2mil of transaction into her bank account while working for the syndicate.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigations Department (CCID) deputy director (intelligence and operations) Senior Asst Comm Datuk Jalil Hassan said that the suspects were arrested in several spots in the Klang Valley during an operation on Thursday with police seizing 14 bank account books, 21 ATM cards, 10 handphones and several other items.
"Our initial investigations revealed that all five of the Nigerian suspects were in Malaysia on student visas," he told a press conference at the Federal CCID headquarters in Bukit Perdana here yesterday.
He added that nine others including six women, who were working for the syndicate as bank account holders were also arrested.
SAC Jalil said all the suspects, aged between 26 and 39, have been remanded to facilitate investigation following the arrests made on Thursday.
He added police got a lead on the syndicate when a 60-year-old Singaporean woman who lived in Johor Bharu was duped into parting with RM566,590.93 by a syndicate member who led her into believing that she would receive a parcel containing 750,000 sterling pounds.
"They had met in Facebook in July last year. The syndicate member was impersonating an Irish man who was interested in the victim," he said adding that the syndicate member then told the victim he had sent a parcel to her home in Johor Bharu through courier service.
"The victim then received an email saying that the parcel has already arrived at customs but she would have to pay transaction and insurance fees for the parcel to claim it. Believing his sweet talk and promises, he said the woman had deposited money into several local bank accounts," said SAC Jalil adding that the victim deposited the money in 12 different transactions in to 12 different accounts amounting to RM566,590.93.
After the last transaction was made, the woman realised that she had been duped as the parcel never arrived, forcing her to lodge a police report on Jan 21.
SAC Jalil said investigation also revealed that syndicate members would pay between four to five percent of the total transaction to the account holders to open local bank accounts.
He added that police believe that the syndicate has been operating for two to three years and has duped more than RM7mil.

In the last of a four-part series on businesses that have learnt to thrive in the new post-quake environment, CECILE MEIER talks to a motel owner.
Before the February 2011 earthquakes, Christchurch's motels were not doing so well.
About 60 per cent of owners had to take on a part-time or fulltime job on the side to make ends meet, according to data from Motel Association of New Zealand (Manz).
Avonhead Lodge motel owners Sally and Allan Clark say moteliers were fearing for their future, and the earthquakes "have been the saviour for many".
In May 2010, the occupancy of Clarks' motels was at its lowest - 24 per cent, and January 2011 was the "worst January ever in terms of occupancy" at 41 per cent.
But then the big earthquake happened, and families, police officers, emergency staff, civil servants and journalists all needed a place to stay.
Despite having computers and telephones down for several days, and staff members missing, the Clarks had to take as many people in as they could.
"It was mayhem," Sally says.
Families who did not know each other shared rooms, and she had to turn people down.
"It was like a jigsaw puzzle to fit everybody in."
Manz chief executive Michael Baines says the motel industry has been catering for different needs after the quakes.
When the emergency rush receded, families were in need of a place to stay while their houses were being repaired, and engineers, insurance agents and assessors started to come in.
"Companies take out long-term accommodation contracts with moteliers so they can secure a room for their staff from out of town. A number of engineers stay in Christchurch three days a week but live in Wellington or Auckland."
The Clarks say that attendance at Avonhead Lodge has sat around 85 per cent since February 2011. This has helped them buy two flat units right next door, upgrade most of the 13 rooms, invest in new carports, and rebuild a garage shed.
As a result, the motel's rating has gone up from 3 1/2 stars to four.
However, the new environment has brought its challenges.
Families often find out they have to vacate their house for repairs on short notice, and bookings often need adjustments.
"I get a lot of holes at the last minute," Sally says.
Baines says many Christchurch moteliers were building up debt before the earthquakes happened and had to put maintenance plans on hold.
"It was a bit rugged before the quakes, and they've got to make up for their losses."
Moteliers can now keep their maintenance up to date, which is "an expensive business at the moment" with builders, plumbers and painters in high demand, he says.
A drop in the number of visitors in 2008 made apparent that too many rooms had been built for Christchurch's accommodation needs, Baines says.
Now there are probably too few rooms, "but the council has to make sure the balance is maintained".
The challenge will be to maintain high occupancy rates in the long-term, Baines says. But occupancy statistics are looking good, and tourists have started coming back.

"buy when there is fear... remember ?"
"nothing goes up forever (NUGT ?) or go down forever (DUST)"
"sell when every one is greedy (NUGT ?) .... or buy when no one wants it (DUST?)"
makes sense ?
I think u have got it all upside down yeah ?
"NOTHING GOES UP FORE-EVER"... jrc this thing is UP 700 % in 4 months.. and u
are soooo right.... NOTHING goes up forever... so shouldn't this thing go down now ?
several ways to spell : Yo-yo / Yoe Yoe / eo eo / Jo Jo / big buyer / big sellers /.......
"my SHARES are all paid for"... buddy these are NOT shares they are called "chips"
in Casino language....
a direxion 3x etf ?? you don't "keep on buying" stuff like this unless it is at the bottom... do u realize it has rallied 700% in the past 4 months ?? on no solid
fundamental news ??... buying anything when it is UP 700% in 4 months is
an act of self destruction... u should be "selling" this thing since there is no
fear and every one is buying (based on ur philosophy)....
yes.. and trend towards staying in couch more than driving.. buying stuff on the net rather than from the malls... ordering dinner on the phone rather than driving to a restaurant .. and on and on.... too much oil out there..
replacement vehicles mostly... so NO NEW additional consumption yeah ?
beerbuddy... GDX (the "anti parent" of DUST) had NO reason to go up 100+% in 4 months
actually.. the fundamentals point to gold under 700 by year end... which would essentially
put all mining companies in serious trouble - because currently it costs them $1200 ish
per ounce to produce (some have it around 990)... but under 1,000 ALL MINERS will be
losing big times... imagine what that will do to GDX ... she will go under $ 5.... which would
essentially put DUST at around $ 30 in todays price (or $ 300 post split of May 18)...
GDX is a suckers rally in a bear sector... I would not worry at all with DUST at $1.50 ...
take it easy ... live well.... u only live once...
NUGT - 100% of air below this price
Yup... fundamentals are pointing to deflation... yeah ??
deflation ?? guy that is POISON for gold... gold thrives only in INFLATIONARY environment
she was under 1200 just a few weeks ago and will again be under 1200
soon... at which time miners start to lose money ... I predict we see massive
BK filings from the miners coming
In early February 2014, the World Gold Council noted that the average industry cost of production is $1,200/ounce, with 30% of the industry becoming unprofitable if the gold price drops below that level (Rudarakanchana, 2014).Jun 28, 2014
EXPLAIN 2013 - 2015 NUGT chart vs gold ...
so if NUGT is dependent on gold price.. why did it decline 99% while gold
was almost unchanged for a year in 2014-15 ?? I thought NUGT is dependent on GDX - not gold.... am I missing ?
so how does it work ?? isn't this called "decay"....
DWTI went from 60 to 500 and is now back down to $ 90 .. within 4 months... no splits needed..
NUGT will be under 10 without any splits within 4 months..
So.. starting point GDX at $ 25.50 NUGT at $ 115
Day 1 GDX goes down 10% to $ 23.00 NUGT down 30% to $ 80
Day 2 GDX goes up 11% to $ 25.50 NUGT UP 33% to $ 105
Day 3 GDX down 10 % to $ 23 NUGT down 30% to $ 69
Day 4 GDX up 10 % to $ 25.50 NUGT up 30% to $ 90
ouch... GDX stays at 25.50 at the end of 4 days... NUGT down $ 25 to $ 90
a few days of back and forth by GDX .... and we see NUGT at ??
u nailed it... best presentation I have come across....
very STRONG resistance at 27.17..... she plays around there for while if at all.. fails to pierce and makes a new all time low by year end or by 1q 2017... too much bearish and bullish sentiment on this sector.. implies the fizz goes out.. the volatility dies down and heads get a time to cool off... 10%
rally from here MAX...

After being lost for more than 50 years, John Lennon's Gibson J-160E guitar sold for $2.41 million on Saturday November 7, 2015 at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California, becoming the second most valuable guitar ever sold. It's the guitar Lennon used alongside Paul McCartney in writing and recording She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Please, Please, Me and All My Loving. As the most expensive performance-played guitar, it displaces the Fender Stratocaster with which Bob Dylan delivered his famous "electric" performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival which sold for $965,000 in December, 2013. At the same auction, a set of fellow-Beatle Ringo Starr's drums fetched $2.1 million to become the most valuable drum kit ever sold, and between the two lots, many auction records were broken. Rare guitars are fast gaining legitimacy as triple platinum investments.Read More

The strength of the English motorcycle collecting world was on display this week in the United Kingdom, when Bonhams' Stafford Autumn Sale weekend realized GBP£3.6 million, becoming the biggest (highest grossing) motorcycle sale ever seen in Europe. The most discussion regarding the sale was not the beautifully restored top-selling motorcycles but three "basketcases" that sold in the top six lots for US$400,039, $365,454 and $144,113 respectively (a 1934 Brough Superior 1,096cc 11-50HP Project) – three of the four most valuable basketcases in history.Read More

The 55 year old red V12 Ferrari had been donated by the late Richard Colton, a Ferrari collector, to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (UK).

A New Zealand motorcycle auction this weekend is worthy of the attention of motorcycle collectors worldwide.

When you think about social media stars, you might think about teenagers on YouTube or the Kardashians on Instagram. But there is a whole other world out there of people who share their expertise and express their creativity through social channels and make a living from it. People such as Tati Westbrook. She's the makeup artist and stylist behind GlamLifeGuru, a YouTube channel with 1,167,897 subscribers (as of this writing), where she posts beauty product reviews, tutorials, hauls, and more.

At this point, ebooks are practically old news, but digital technology continues to change the way books are created, discovered, and even funded. Wattpad, a social network for aspiring writers, has added a crowdfunding component to its site--only they call it "fan funding."
The model is familiar. Writers can set a 30-day goal to raise money to fund a project, and fans who pledge money get rewards like dedicated chapters or even a character named after them. If they writer fails to achieve his/her goal in 30 days, no money is taken from the pledges--and no rewards are given.

Nanoscale Iron Could Help Cleanse The Environment
An ultrafine, "nanoscale" powder made from iron, one of the most abundant metals on Earth, is turning out to be a remarkably effective tool for cleaning up contaminated soil and groundwater--a trillion-dollar problem that encompasses more than 1000 still-untreated Superfund sites in the United States, some 150,000 underground storage tank releases, and a staggering number of landfills, abandoned mines, and industrial sites.

Fracking – will the public accept it?
Gas is gaining favour within the power generation community, as it is cleaner than coal and less geopolitical than oil
The drilling process
Steel pipes are inserted, surrounded by cement and perforated
The fracking phase: pumping and injecting
The fracking phase: back-flushing and gas flow
IEA chief economist Faith Birol explains the seven rules that are required to secure a golden age of gas
The expected emergence of unconventional gas as a prime energy fuel will depend on public acceptance of hydraulic fracturing.
Back in the early 1970s the world consumed four times as much oil as it did gas. Today that gap has more than halved and the appetite for gas continues to grow. Over the next 20 years gas is expected to continue to develop, but most of that growth is on the back of unconventional or shale gases.
However, the production of unconventional gases – shale gas, coal-bed methane and tight gas – comes with major environmental reservations, and unless these can be overcome its future will be uncertain. In an effort to improve the image of unconventional resources the International Energy Agency (IEA) last month launched its 'seven rules for unconventional gas' – a blueprint for governments and regulators.
The main reason for the potentially more serious environmental impact of unconventional gas operations is the nature of the resources themselves: unconventional resources are less concentrated and do not give themselves up easily. In contrast to conventional gas reservoirs shale gas reservoirs have very low permeability, which means that gas does not flow easily out of the rock and low porosities. There are, therefore, relatively few spaces for the gas to be stored. This results in low recovery rates because the gas can be trapped in disconnected spaces within the rock due to the fine-grained nature of the original sediments. The answer is more wells and the controversial technology of hydraulic fracturing (fracking).
One feature of the greater scales of operations required to extract unconventional gas is the need for more wells. Whereas onshore conventional wells usually require one well per 10km2, unconventional fields might need a well every 1km2.
Shale rocks themselves are geological rock formations rich in clays, typically derived from fine sediments, deposited in fairly quiet environments at the bottoms of seas or lakes, having then been buried over the course of millions of years. When a significant amount of organic matter has been deposited with the sediments, the rock can contain organic solid material called kerogen. If the rock has been heated up to a sufficient temperature during its burial part of this will turn into gas or oil.
According to the IEA's World Energy Outlook, gas will supply one-third of the world's incremental energy needs. "Gas is the lucky fuel," Maria van der Hoeven, executive director of the IEA says. "It may not be the ideal choice of policymakers, society or media: that first choice is often renewable energy, domestic coal or nuclear, depending on the political context. Indeed, gas is rarely the cheapest, cleanest or most secure energy source – but its key advantage is that it is a good combination of compromises."
The reasons are apparent – gas is cleaner than coal, less geopolitical than oil. That it is gaining favour within the power generation community is well documented.
But, despite that seemingly rosy outlook, there are some serious challenges ahead for gas. Conventional gas production in North America and Europe is in terminal decline and with production concentrated in the former Soviet Bloc and the Middle East; security concerns blighted the potential for gas. That, though, was before the advent of unconventional gas, which has laid the foundation for what commentators have dubbed the 'Golden Age of Gas'.
"Unconventional gas has in some ways been an unexpected arrival on the energy scene," van der Hoeven says. "These resources have been known [about] for decades, but have been largely untouched as they have been widely considered to be too difficult and too expensive to develop. But now technology is unlocking these reserves, both visibly in North America where the surge in shale gas production over the past decade has had dramatic consequences for the energy markets, [and also] around the world."
Growing gas
According to the IEA's Medium-Term Gas Market report, demand for natural gas will increase at around 2.7 per cent a year for the next five years. "We think that conventional gas will grow in the next 25 years, but the main growth will come from unconventional gas," IEA chief economist Fatih Birol explains. "Global demand is predicted to grow by 55 per cent, with about two-thirds of this increase coming from unconventional gas. So if there is to be a golden age of gas it will be reliant on a substantial growth in the unconventional gas market. This, we believe, will depend on the industry following the rules that we have laid out."
However the future for unconventional gas is far from certain, clouded as it is in a fog of public concern about its environmental credentials and safety aspects of fracking. The way that unconventional gas is produced has much in common with conventional gas, but more wells are usually required to produce the same amount of gas and techniques such as hydraulic fracturing are often needed.
These gas resources are often located in areas that have no recent history of large-scale oil or gas production. This is one of the key attractions because it means in many cases there is the possibility of developing a local resource with positive implications for energy security and the domestic economy. But it is also a source of concern as it can mean the arrival of a new industry in areas that may not have expected it and frankly where the regulatory framework may not be ready for it. Now countries all over the world are looking to emulate the experience of North America with unconventional gas. China and Australia are leading the way, but there is also interest from other parts of the world – including Europe, Latin America and elsewhere.
"We see that this boost to gas supply could bring a number of important benefits: greater energy diversity, more secure supply in countries that rely on imports to meet their gas needs as well as global benefits in the form of reduced energy costs," van der Hoeven says. "But let's be honest, alongside these potential economic and energy security benefits there are also legitimate public concerns."
These concerns centre around the potential social and environmental impact of unconventional gas production – these include the implications on the water resource, land use and disruption to local communities and they also include the potential serious hazards of water contamination, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The technology and knowhow already exists for unconventional gas to be produced in an environmentally acceptable way, but if the social and environmental impacts are not addressed properly there is a very real possibility that public opposition to drilling for shale gas and other types of unconventional gas will halt the unconventional gas revolution in its tracks.
"It's up to industry to win public confidence by demonstrating exemplary performance and it's up to governments because they must ensure that appropriate policies and regulatory regimes are in place," van der Hoeven says. "We have set out in our report a number of golden rules. These are principles that can help governments, industry and other stakeholders to address the social and environmental issues.
"Natural gas does have some advantages from the perspective of emissions and local air quality when it replaces other more carbon intensive fossil fuels. Natural gas, including unconventional gas can play an important role, but on its own natural gas does not provide the answer to the challenge of climate change.
"Governments around the world need to introduce much stronger policies and measures than they currently envisage driving forward investment in efficient low-carbon technologies to make energy supply more secure and prevent potentially catastrophic climate change."
Seven steps to a golden future
IEA chief economist Fatih Birol explains the seven rules that are required to secure a golden age of gas
1 Measure, Disclose and Engage
Much of the public concern is related to the fact that the public and local communities do not have access to information about the activities surrounding the production of shale gas. Our suggestion is that before starting operations companies measure the quality of the water and air to create a baseline. Then at regular intervals during their operations they repeat the measurements, compare this to the baseline and make this information available. One thing that we feel very strongly about is that the chemicals that are used during the racking process need to be fully disclosed to the public both in terms of content and quantity.
2 Watch where you drill
It is very important that companies, governments and regulators make a careful choice of the drilling sites. The geological and seismic surveys of the drilling site are very important and any change in the seismic activity needs to be monitored and reported.
3 Isolate well and prevent leaks
We need robust rules for well design, construction and cementing. There is a need for of all these as well as integrity testing to become part of the best practice standards. We also think that depending on the location there it is important to consider the minimum depth requirements.
4 Treat water responsibly
To produce shale gas requires greater volumes of water than conventional gas, so sound management of the water resources is crucial both by using the best available technologies to minimise the water use and re-using the waste water. It is also important to minimise the use of chemical additives and use additives that are benign to minimise the risk of contamination.
5 Eliminate venting, flaring & emissions
Limiting Methane emissions is very important to limit climate change. It is important therefore that we limit venting and flaring. We would like to target zero venting and minimal flaring. Authorities and regulators need to impose strict limits on venting and flaring. This can be achieved without major investment.
6 Be ready to think big
Before any regions considers these operations they should not think of one well. The production and size can grow significantly and consideration should be given as to how the growing scale of production will affect local communities. Instead of bringing water to the site in trucks it might be advantageous to plan in a water pipeline system; this may incur some significant investment but the returns both financially and for impact on local communities may make it worthwhile.
7 Ensure a consistently high level of environmental performance
We have to make sure that robust and appropriate regulatory regimes are in place. Government needs to find the balance between regulations and production performance. Since shale gas production practices change from region to region, and even site to site, we need to set targets but leave the choice to individual companies on how they achieve these targets.

Theatre Box of Floral Park
auditions for
Suite Surrender
by Michael McKeever on
May 9 & 11 at 7:30pm
in the United Methodist Church (parlor upstairs), 35 Verbena Ave, Floral Park 11001. Performances: July 29, 30, 31 and Aug 4, 5, 6 Rehearsals start early June and will run Mon & Wed eve. Director: Daniel Bubbeo. Questions contact the director at email@example.com or call Theatre Box at 516-900-2031. The Plot: The play takes place in 1942 at the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel, where two of Hollywood's biggest divas with a longstanding feud, are both coming to the hotel where they are to perform on the same bill for a war benefit. Everything has been carefully arranged by the hotel manager, Bernard Dunlap, to ensure that the women will never see each other. Or so he thinks, because someone has bungled the reservations and the two women have accidentally been booked into the same suite. Dunlap is then stuck with the task of keeping the two women from finding out that they're each occupying separate bedrooms in the suite. Further complicating matters are dithery socialite Mrs. Osgood, who's also booked a bunch of hell-raising Navy men in the hotel; gossip columnist Dora Del Rio, who smells scandal in the air; and a pair of incompetent bellhops. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double-entendres, and one pampered little lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this fall-down laugh riot. Think "Lend Me a Tenor" with a dash of "All About Eve."
Character Breakdown: The play has 9 roles (4 men, 5 women) as follows. It does call for actors who are adept at physical comedy, as there is a lot of it:
Bernard S. Dunlap (40 or older)--the hotel's impeccably dressed and dapper general manager. Beneath the façade, though, he's always nervous about something going terribly wrong, as well he should be.
Claudia McFadden (40 or older)--America's singing sweetheart, she is larger than life, bursting into every room she enters like a tornado. Imagine Kate Smith crossed with Tallulah Bankhead. Claudia achieved success thanks to her talent and a good left hook.
Athena Sinclair (40 or older)--beautiful, elegant star of stage and screen who dominates every room she's in. Every bit the diva (think Bette Davis' character Margo Channing from "All About Eve" but more comic. If Claudia got to the top by pushing people around, Athena probably did it by going the casting couch route.
Mr. Pippet (30 or older)--Claudia's personal secretary whom she treats more like a servant. A tiny man who carries an attaché case in one hand and Mr. Boodles, a tiny lap poodle, in the other. A milquetoast in the Wally Cox vein.
Murphy Stevens (20s-40)--Athena's personal secretary. Young, pretty, efficient and still lovesick over the boyfriend she thought was overseas or dead but who instead turns up in the hotel
Dora Del Rio (40 or older)--the quintessential Hollywood gossip columnist. Think Hedda Hopper or Louella Parsons on speed. She's always up for a good piece of dirt
Mrs. Everett P. Osgood (40 or older)--a society matron who heads up dozens of different charitable organizations. Always stylish, also a bit of an eccentric. She's totally oblivious to the chaos going on around her.
Otis (20s or older)--a bellhop who's easily confused and also very star-struck. He lives to get autographs.
Francis (20s-40)--the other bellhop, also easily confused and has some secrets.

The manga is coming from Tokyo Pop. I stopped by the Tokyo Pop booth to ask if they'll have an e-mail newsletter for their yaoi line & I just happened to speak with one of the gals heading up the Blu line. They also have the Gravitation novel(not the Remix Doujinshi). She told me to keep an eye on their website & we should have news this fall(I asked if it would be next spring & she said they're planning on the fall) There's apparently some problems convincing the top this type of stuff will sell. I guess there's a huge issue right now about some of the bookstores not selling the yaoi titles because the manga line is seen as being for teens & these are more adult(also got this same info from CPM pres who was at the CPM booth). The bookstores are willing to sell it as gay porn, but don't see an audience for it in the romace aisle where it technically belongs & want it out of the manga aisle. I think Wwaldens is still onboard with it, but one of the others (B Dalton? Barnes & Noble?) is close to dropping the shrink-wrapped stuff because the kids unwrap it. I seem to recall CMX commenting their way around this is they're asking their mature line be placed in the sci-fi area. I went looking for Sword of the Dark Ones yesterday at Waldens & even the clerk, who showed it in stock, couldn't find it, but I didn't remember about the sci-fi section bit until I got home so I need to go back & check if it's there.
Maybe we can bug MediaBlasters about Loveless. They are aware this sells. When I stopped by their booth to see if there was anything, I actually had everything they had to offer. I told them I pre-buy it all(they thanked me) & they told me Level C manga vol 3 is at the printers right now & they were putting Sensitive Pornograph out in September.

Wow! That's awesome! Sukisyo was pretty good, i liked it but i thought it was too short but i'm definitely buying this sereis.
I'm still waiting for LOVELESS to come over though.
|Back to top
Posts: 218
I'm really happy that this is only going to be 3 volumes and that it is coming out so soon (only have to wait till October!) Media Blasters seems to be having a pretty quick turnaround with a lot of their more recent licenses (like Genshiken, Otogi Zoshi, and now Sukisho), which is great
And I think there's definitely hope for Loveless now!

Decibel Releases New APIs in Move Towards Music Metadata Industry Standard
Decibel launched its first API in 2011. Since the launch, Decibel has enjoyed success in becoming the fastest growing European company in the digital music sector. However, the massive growth falls short of Decibel's ultimate goal. Decibel hopes to enhance the consumer relationship with digital music and uncover the next generation in digital music services. In the end, Decibel aims "to become the industry standard for music metadata."
Record Label Sues Developer for Using Open API
In what might be a first in the world of open APIs and mashups, a developer has been sued by a major corporation for developing an application using a third party web service API. As TechCrunch's Jason Kincaid reports, Ryan Sit, the talented developer behind a number of popular mashups is being sued by EMI for his application Favtape because it uses the Seeqpod API. Of course it's not unusual for a record label to aggressively use the courts to defend copyright, but this appears to take the battle to a new ground. As Jason describes:
Take.io: The Take.net API for Entertainment in Brazil.
The Take.io API from Brazil has a REST protocol with data formats in XML and JSON. According to Take.net, "The take.io RESTful API currently defines five services: SSO, Core, Billing, Messages and Reports." The company states further that, "Take.io is Take.net DNA translated into a set of APIs designed to allow companies to use SMS, MMS, voice, pricing, location, CRM, etc., all of which are integrated with their existing systems."
