Kaspersky Lab today unveiled its new generation of business security solutions designed to help businesses overcome the latest challenges in managing a secure, efficient network. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business, the company's new flagship security platform for businesses, was built to provide the industry's best protection from advanced malware and cybercrime, and also to combat another common enemy of IT security – complexity. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is the first true security platform built from the ground up, offering a business critical combination of deep protection, efficiency and seamless manageability.
New IT Department Realities
The fundamental mission of the IT Administrator hasn't changed much, but there are more obstacles along the way. Organizations of all sizes deal with these challenges, but small-to-midsized businesses and larger businesses with shrinking budgets suffer from an additional hurdle: lack of resources and expertise to manage these new demands.
In addition to sophisticated malware targeting businesses on a daily basis, IT Administrators must now account for new complexities that include:
- Smartphones and tablets used to access the company network from anywhere in the world
- Employees who wish to use their mobile devices and PCs to get their work done
- Confidential data moving freely within the company network, or outside of the network via laptops or USB thumb drives
- Finding and patching holes in user applications and operating systems
These new technology realities have left IT Administrators struggling with related security concerns, and in most cases, they are forced to evaluate, purchase, install and manage a new tool for each scenario. Mobile Device Management, Systems/Patch Management, Data Encryption and more—these new tools get cobbled together with existing anti-malware technologies, leaving IT Administrators with a network that's more complex to manage, but not necessarily more secure.
What's New and Improved in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business
The new challenges of organized cybercrime and a boom in employee-owned devices have made protecting business data tougher than ever. To simplify and secure business of all sizes, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business comes with a number of new and improved technologies that allow IT Administrators to See, Control, and Protect their network.
- Mobile Security and Device Management – Kaspersky Lab lets administrators secure and protect data, even on employees' own smartphones and tablets. Mobile endpoint protection can be deployed remotely through centralized Mobile Device Management (MDM).
- Data Encryption – Secure individual files, folders, or full-disks, with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 bit encryption to ensure information remains secure in the event of accidental device loss or theft. Kaspersky Lab's new encryption technology can also be enforced on peripheral devices, removable drives, files, and folders, and is transparent to users and applications while rendering data unreadable to cybercriminals.
- Endpoint Control Tools – Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is designed to control application usage through policies and dynamic whitelisting. Administrators can also create custom policies around removable storage devices, USB storage devices and printers, and on-device web policies that ensure users browse the Internet safely whether on the corporate network or at home.
- Systems Management – An array of new systems configuration, deployment and management tools included in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business makes time-consuming IT tasks like OS installation, network inventory, system provisioning, remote administration, network admission control (NAC) and license management both faster and less complex. Automated vulnerability scanning and patch management ensures users and administrators are always up-to-date and fully notified about critical security exposures.
- All managed from Kaspersky Lab's Security Center – The powerful administrative console unifies every aspect of Kaspersky Lab's endpoint, file server and virtual infrastructure protection under one "pane of glass."
- Industry-Leading Anti-Malware – Kaspersky Lab's proven blend of on-premise, proactive and cloud-based methods for detecting malware keeps users connected to the latest threats discovered by the company's team of experts. Kaspersky Lab's outstanding performance during independent evaluation throughout 2012 earned the company some of the highest accolades in the industry. In its year-end performance report, AV-Comparatives awarded Kaspersky Lab the highest overall score in its "Product of the Year" testing for the second consecutive year. AV-Test also gave its Best Protection Award and Best Repair Award for 2012 to Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
When analyzing all the tests conducted in recent years by independent firms including AV-Comparatives, AV-Test and more, the results show that Kaspersky Lab consistently achieves the industry's highest malware detection success rates, finishing in the Top 3 in more than 80 percent of all tests, more than 20 percent more frequently than the next closest competitor.
Customized and Scalable for Your Needs
The job of the IT Administrator is to build and maintain a network that allows its workers to be more productive; one that is stable enough to never fail but agile enough to incorporate the newest technologies and devices, and which operates within the budget constraints of management. But while these goals are consistent across all business types, no two organizations are the same. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business was built with the SMB in mind, offering premium protection technologies without the need for new budgets or manpower resources to manage them.
Available for purchase today in specialized bundles for businesses of all sizes, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is a single, unified platform, created by Kaspersky Lab's engineers from a single code-base, which delivers protection in a way that other security products cannot. Through ONE platform, ONE console, and at ONE cost, IT Administrators can see, control and protect all systems and endpoints in the network, whether it's a PC down the hall, a virtual machine in another office, or a missing smartphone across the country.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is available in the following base configurations, which are modular and expandable to meet future needs:
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business: Select – includes Workstation & File Server Security, Application Control with Dynamic Whitelisting, Device Control, and Web Control. Also included is a mobile protection solution which consists of an endpoint security agent and Mobile Device Management (or MDM).
- Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business: Advanced – includes all technologies in Select configuration, with the addition of Encryption and Systems Management tools. If your business needs include remote deployment, Patch Management and Vulnerability Scanning, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business Advanced is the solution for you.
- Kaspersky Total Security for Business – the flagship offering includes additional protection with the inclusion of infrastructure-level protection for Web, Mail, and Collaboration servers. From the endpoint all the way to the Internet gateway, you can protect it with Kaspersky Lab.
Many of these security and IT efficiency technologies are also available for purchase separately as Targeted Solutions. These individual offerings allow businesses to custom-design their protection scheme, placing Kaspersky Lab technology at specific points across their network as required.
Charles Kolodgy, Research Vice President - Secure Products
"Over the years Kaspersky Lab has steadily grown in both market sales and in technical capabilities. Last year's overhaul of the company's Endpoint Security offerings signaled that Kaspersky Lab was ready to compete for deals of all sizes. By offering critical capabilities like data encryption, mobile protection, and full system security management, Kaspersky Lab is poised to be a contender in almost all purchase considerations."
Eugene Kaspersky, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder,
Kaspersky Lab
"We've entered the age of high-profile targeted attacks, with sophisticated espionage tools becoming more and more widespread. Cyber-espionage is becoming the most serious threat there is for businesses, and just about any enterprise can be attacked, regardless of its size or market share. All organizations have data that's valuable to cybercriminals, which in turn can be used as 'back stairs' to reach other companies. An intrusion may come either from a cybercriminal seeking personal enrichment, or a nation state looking to steal proprietary or classified information. Every decision maker should keep all this in mind when building a company's IT security infrastructure."
Petr Merkulov, Chief Product Officer,
Kaspersky Lab
"The new Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business a true testament to the dedication of our brilliant teams of R&D and Security Research. In an industry where acquisition and consolidation has become the norm, building these technologies from the ground-up was certainly not the easiest path, but in the end, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business is the best possible protection for our customers."
Steve Orenberg, President
Kaspersky Lab North America
"Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business will show IT managers that a security solution is more than the sum of its components, and that a well-designed and fully-integrated solution not only makes sense for their bottom line, but also brings better protection to their organization. For the past several years, all the independent tests and industry analysis have shown Kaspersky Lab has solidified its position as a leader in the North American IT industry, and we're confident Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Business demonstrates to Enterprises and SMBs alike that we remain at the forefront of security technology."

Nanocrystalline (NC) semiconductor materials have previously been studied as a means of increasing the exciton multiplicity upon the impingement of visible light, for applications such as solar cells. If the multi-exciton states have highly uniform multiplicities across macroscopic NC samples, then one can also potentially quench the statistical counting noise associated with charge-carrier creation in the bulk. We thus assess the viability of using NC semiconductor materials for the detection of ionizing radiation. Using CdTe and PbSe NC films, we report on the colloidal synthesis and deposition procedures for spherical NC particles with dimensions less than 10 nm. In particular, using a thioglycolic-acid (TGA)-stabilized CdTe NC solution adsorbed to polycations, CdTe nanocrystalline films were deposited on glass and metallic substrates using either the layer-by-layer (LBL) method or by using drop-casting techniques. A scanning electron microscope was used to study the surface morphology and impurity concentrations of the CdTe and PbSe-films, and by sandwiching the films between evaporated metallic electrodes, the junction properties of the material were studied, and rectifying characteristics were observed. The resulting depletion region and the material's response to alpha particle impingement were studied.

Pope names Australia's Cardinal Pell as Holy See's economic overseer
Newly created post gives 'authority over all economic and administrative activities'
Picture: Catholic News Agency
February 25, 2014
Today Pope Francis announced the establishment of a new entity for oversight of Vatican economic and administrative affairs, headed by Cardinal George Pell of Sydney, Australia.
According to Feb. 24 statement issued by the Holy See's press office, the new Secretariat for the Economy "will have authority over all economic and administrative activities within the Holy See and the Vatican City State."
Cardinal Pell has been appointed Prefect of the new Secretariat. His role includes the implementation of policies decided upon by a new 15-member Council for the Economy, made up of 8 Cardinals or Bishops "reflecting different parts of the world" and 7 "lay experts of different nationalities with strong professional financial experience."
No appointments have been made yet besides that of Cardinal Pell. According to the Holy See Press Office, the Council for the Economy will replace the now obsolete "Council of 15," composed only of cardinals.
The Australian prelate was made a Cardinal by John Paul in 2003. Since 2007, he has been on the committee of 15 Cardinals overseeing Vatican financial affairs. In 2013, Pope Francis chose Cardinal Pell to become part of the Council of 8 Cardinals tasked with examining the governing structures of the Church and considering reforms of the Curia.
The two groups of Cardinals met last week to consider the recommendations of the Pontifical Commission for Reference on the Organization of the Economic-Administrative Structure of the Holy See, (COSEA) charged with reviewing the Vatican's administrative procedures.
Pope Francis' creation of a new Secretariat for the Economy, issued formally in today's motu proprio, "Fidelis et Dispensator Prudens," comes as a response to the Cardinals' endorsement of COSEA's recommendations.
The Holy Father will also appoint an Auditor-General, yet to be named, who will have the capacity to audit any Vatican agency at any time.
Under Cardinal Pell's leadership, the new Secretariat will "enable more formal involvement of senior and experienced experts in financial administration, planning and reporting and will ensure better use of resources, improving the support available for various programs, particularly our works with the poor and marginalized," the press release indicated.

Charles Butler lives in Bristol, where he works as an English Lecturer specialising in children's fantasy.
Calypso Dreamingby Charles Butler
View All Available Formats & Editions
An atmospheric fantasy, set on a remote island where the difference between dreams and truth becomes blurred…Sweetholm is a small island sheltering in the Bristol channel, best known for its colonies of seabirds and seals and the picturesque ruins of St Brigan's Priory. When Geoff and Hilary Robinson are offered the opportunity to caretake a house there for the summer, they see it as a perfect opportunity to work at patching up their marriage.Their teenage daughter Tansy also welcomes it as a chance to put behind her her unnerving and unsuccessful experiments in magic in Bristol. But troubles cannot be so easily outrun and Sweetholm is not the idyllic retreat is apears to be. It is one of the 'frayed places of the world' where the line between ordinary life and ancient magic has become wafer thin.And key to these events is Calypso herself – a strange child whose round lidless eyes and webbed feet hint at her ancestry. Her prophetic dreams have power – but will anybody dare to understand the truth?
Charles Butler lives in Bristol, where he works as an English Lecturer specialising in children's fantasy.

Social science data collected in the United States, both historically and at present, have often not been placed in any public archive - even when the data collection was supported by government grants. The availability of the data for future use is, therefore, in jeopardy. Enforcing archiving norms may be the only way to increase data preservation and availability in the future.

just wondering if it's possible to include some files (one txt file in this case) in the app package that I need in the application folder. The thing is that I might use a piece of code that requires the license to be included in the app as a text file, and I think this would be one way to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Matheson's legendary 1956 sci-fi tale of Scott Carey, a family man who is slowly shrinking into obscurity and a terrifying new world inside his own house, is beautifully realized by Yuri Rasovsky's memorable reading. Enthusiastic and compelling, Rasovsky seems predisposed to the suspense master's style of writing. Capturing the brilliant mix of everyday life and extraordinary horrors that Matheson is so revered for creating, Rasovsky reads with a dry, cool wit that breathes new life into this classic tale. He knows exactly how to relay the tension and anxiety to his audience, and never ceases to raise the stakes and bring the audience to their knees in sheer terror. This is a thrilling and unforgettable experience. A Tor paperback. (May)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
First he thought it was a tidal wave. Then he saw that the sky and ocean were visible through it and it was a curtain of spray rushing at the boat.
He'd been sunbathing on top of the cabin. It was just coincidence that he pushed up on his elbow and saw it coming.
"Marty!" he yelled. There was no answer. He scuttled across the hot wood and slid down the deck. "Hey, Marty!"
The spray didn't look menacing, but for some reason he wanted to avoid it. he ran around the cabin, wincing at the hot planks underfoot. It would be a race.
Which he lost. One moment he was in sunlight. The next he was being soaked by the warm, glittering spray.
Then it was past. He stood there watching it sweep across the water, sun-glowing drops of it covering him. Suddenly he twitched and looked down. There was a curious tingling on his skin.
He grabbed for a towel and dried himself. It wasn't so much pain as a pleasant stinging, like that of lotion on newly shaven cheeks.
Then he was dry and the feeling was almost gone. He went below and woke up his brother and told him about the curtain of spray that had run across the boat.
It was the beginning.

The Incredible Shrinking Man Matheson does it again! After growing up seeing the movies based off this book, I was curious to read it and see how it all started. In true Matheson style, the story is told from the main characters perspective, in this case Scott, and all of the internal struggles Scott deals with as he is shrinking. Scott's interactions with others always lead back to or solely reflect his struggle or perspective but never anyone else's. This is one of the finer points of the book, Scott is so obsessed with what is happening to him, he looses those precious last moments with his wife, daughter, family and friends. The ending is a twist, which I expected a twist from Matheson, but this was beyond what I imagined it would be and was a true delight as a result. The details and descriptions in the book are supreme and create a delightful read of a frightening experience. A
Richard Matheson is not a great writer, but this book has the story the classic movie, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN was based on. It also has some other fun stories. Worth a read.
This was an amazing read! It was chilling and frightening and yet at the same time it was very emotional and sad. Matheson did a fantastic job at showing different aspects of how shrinking affected the main character, Scott. There was the very terrifying prospect of being smaller than a spider for example, as well as the grief and loneliness of basically losing everybody he loves. It was exciting reading about Scott's everyday trials as he shrunk, from losing his authority over his daughter to moving into a doll house. The Incredible Shrinking Man is an incredible story not to be missed!
The last half of this book consists of short stories by Richard Matheson. They are wonderful and horrifying! One of my favorites is Nightmare at 20,000 Feet. It's about a man in an airplane on a night flight. Imagine looking out the window to see a man-like being crouched on the wing grinning viciously at you. Creepy! Matheson really knows how to humanize and dramatize horror. He writes a good horror story, not just mindless blood-and-guts gore.
Most are familiar with the incredible sci-fi epic The Incredible Shrinking Man. It stands alone as a precursor of later stories and films. However, an added pleasure is this unabridged narration of Richard Matheson's landmark story by Yuri Rasovsky. A Peabody, Grammy and Audie Award winning performer, Rasovsky has been writing, producing, and directing audio dramas for some thirty years. His experience and gifts for vocal performance come to the fore in this reading of what is often called a classic of suspense. Listeners will remember Scott Carey as an unremarkable man who is enjoying a holiday at sea when he is suddenly enfolded in a glowing cloud. Upon returning home medical tests reveal that he has been infected by an insecticide that causes him to shrink - very little at a time. As our story progresses he is at first unable to wear his clothes, then he loses his job. Obviously his wife notices a dramatic change in him, and when his situation is revealed he is surrounded by the curious. He finds solace with a circus midget, but she is not shrinking - he is until he reaches the point where the family cat is a formidable adversary. Listen and enjoy again the genius of Richard Matheson who has been called 'one of the most important writers of the 20th century.' - Gail Cooke
Scott Carey is a typical American family man. He is happily married and loves his wife and daughter. However, everything changes including relationships when the tidal wave of spray soaked him while sunbathing on the top of a boat. Now Cary is shrinking inch by inch into a micro world of the unknown. He has only six days left on the human plane and this is his account of when he became THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN. Though this anthology is labeled the INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, it actually contains several other stories besides this classic. Included are great tales like ¿Duel¿, ¿Nightmare at 20,000 Feet¿, and ¿The Test¿ that prove that Richard Matheson works not only hold up, but he remains the master of tales that involve an outside force that harm the innocent. Horror meets science fiction at a signpost that Serling would have relished announcing, as this is a great collection worth reading and in many ways better than the several well-done movies that are based on these tales. Harriet Klausner
Matheson is a virtuoso of many forms of storytelling and it shows in this book. Matheson has an equal respect from sci-fi, horror, and fantasy fans because his work regularly defies categorization. As one would expect from Matheson, you cannot really classify The Shrinking Man. At times it has elements of sci-fi, at other times elements of horror and fantasy. Matheson shows the character of Scott Carey not as a noble, brave, completely in control hero, but as a frustrated, angry, depressed hero. A hero who acts much the same way we would act if we found ourselves shrinking at an inch a week. But despite Carey's behavior he ultimately comes to an acceptance of his fate with a courage that redeems him completely of his former faults. The journey that Scott goes through in the story is not external but internal. An amazing work of literature. Matheson is truly a master.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Perhaps you'd consider using android:shadowColor,
put these in values/colors.xml
Then in your layout xml here are some example TextView's
Example of Floating text on Light with Dark shadow
Example of Etched text on Light with Dark shadow
Example of Crisp text on Light with Dark shadow
Notice the positive and negative values... I suggest to play around with the colors/values yourself but ultimately you can adjust these settings to get the effect your looking for.

Ducks, fans didn't need to see this
Among the headlines the Ducks and their fans probably didn't need to read this one from Thursday would rank rather high:
Predators ink Rinne to seven-year extension
That was the news, as reported at nhl.com.
Rinne, who is roughly the size of a garage door, proved too much for the Ducks to beat during last season's playoffs. As such, the Ducks and Predators have built the foundation for a nice little rivalry.

Bendigo Thunder jumper for Echuca footballer
Echuca's Alyx Glanville had an impressive game for Bendigo Thunder colours.LUKE MCMANUS July 10, 2014 3:22am
Echuca's Alyx Glanville took her football career to the next level on Sunday, lining up for Bendigo Thunder in the Victorian Women's Football League.
Glanville debuted for Bendigo after impressing coach Russell Jeffrey during training last week, earning a call up to the division one team to play reigning premier Darebin at Preston's AH Capp Reserve.
Bendigo copped a 230-point hiding against the far-superior Falcons, but Glanville, judged among the team's best players for the afternoon, relished the chance with open arms.
''It was a lot faster than the competition back home,'' Glanville said.
''I had to think a lot more about my disposal and what I did with the ball, instead of just kicking it.''
''I had a lot of support from teammates everytime I got the ball.''
Glanville played through the middle of the ground and down forward, using her foot skills and eagerness for the contest with great effect.
Jeffrey said the Echuca-based recruit never looked out of place among some of the competition's best.
''We were delighted with Alyx,'' the coach said.
''Not long after the game started, she was well and truly into the fray.
''She looked quite comfortable from what we could see from the boundary.''
Bendigo could not register a point against Darebin, with the scoreboard reading 35.20
Darebin, undefeated after seven rounds, boasted about 10 players who featured in the televised Western Bulldogs v Melbourne women's exhibition game at Etihad Stadium on June 29.
''It wasn't just a trip down to Melbourne for a picnic,'' Jeffrey said.
''We were playing the best and Alyx was able to match her opponent.
''Given it was her first outing at that level she showed plenty of promise and we're hoping she'll feature in a few more games before the end of the season.''
That prospect will be open to some of Glanville's Murray Bomber teammates after Kelly Shotton, Kiara Cooper, Sophie Douglas and Aisha Kirchhofer were also invited down to last week's training session.
''To have those girls down from Echuca was fantastic,'' the coach said.
''From what I saw they'll all be putting their hands up.''
The Thunder return to Bendigo's Queens Elizabeth Oval for a home game against St Alban's on Saturday, which will serve as a curtain raiser to Bendigo Gold's VFL clash.
Jeffrey said with some regular senior players away during the school holidays, the Thunder will look for the Murray Bombers to fill the void.

Mecanoo's TU Delft Library Crowned With a Massive Green Roof
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- Tu Delft Library (9)Although nearly fifteen years old, the visionary TU Delft Library is still an excellent example of forward-thinking sustainable design. Mecanoo Architecten's vision was to develop a light-filled landmark that would serve as "a gateway to the digital highway". What they achieved is a public place that is not only a core for information, but also features a prodigious public green roof for people to explore, relax and play.1
- Tu Delft Library (3)While we have been overwhelmed by many mountainous green buildings over the past year, the Tu Delf library has been the go-to place since to climb a hill in Delft, Netherlands since 1997.2
- Tu Delft Library (8)Visitors can catch some sun on the inclined lawn during the warmer months.3
- Tu Delft Library (90)When it snows the roof makes for the best sledding in town -- after all, where else are you going to find a hill in the Netherlands?4
- Tu Delft Library (92)The green roof also provides the interior with a much reduced need for cooling and helps the Delft University of Technology campus control storm water runoff.5
- Tu Delft Library (4)The interior is anchored by the building's dramatic cone, which pierces the roof and serves as a central source of daylight. A skylight, which wraps the cone, bounces light off the inclined surface to penetrate the main hall with natural illumination.6
- Tu Delft Library (12)Inside the cone, a series of smaller study rooms are crowed by another skylight.7
- Tu Delft Library (6)Behind the sweeping bank of windows are workstations separated from the archives by a bank of vision glass. This keeps the library accessible while containing its functions.8
- Tu Delft Library (7)The sweeping bank of windows provide daylight.9
- Tu Delft Library (5)The sparse interior is highlighted by a large bank of shelves to the side which are accessible by catwalks.10
- Tu Delft Library (100)Heat and light is distributed by the forest of columns.11
- Tu Delft Library (13)The library makes a symbolic gesture through its green roof, which rises like a sheet of paper into the air, while the cone secures it into place, like a push pin.12
- Tu Delft Library (11)The architects explain that the cone is a symbol of technology.13
- Tu Delft Library (2)The playful approach feels a bit like a Claes Oldenburg sculpture transformed into architecture - a familiar shape produced on a grand scale.14

Pressure To Be More Muscular May Lead Men To Unhealthy Behaviors
Men's Health and Body
Women are not the only ones in American society who feel pressure to achieve the perfect body.
New research suggests that men feel pressure to have muscular bodies, and that influence can lead some to symptoms of eating disorders, pressure to use steroids, and an unhealthy preoccupation with weightlifting.
"Men see these idealized, muscular men in the media and feel their own bodies don't measure up," said Tracy Tylka, author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at Ohio State University's Marion campus.
"For some men, this can lead to unhealthy and potentially dangerous behaviors to try to reach that ideal."
Tylka presented her research at a symposium August 10 in New Orleans at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association.
Of course, women have been pressured for decades to achieve a thin ideal, but this is a more recent phenomenon for men, Tylka said.
"Instead of seeing a decrease in objectification of women in society, there has just been an increase in the objectification of men. And you can see that in the media today," she said.
To test how this emphasis on muscularity has affected men, Tylka studied 285 college men. She asked them a variety of questions to determine how much pressure to be muscular that they felt from family, friends, romantic partners and the media.
The findings showed that the more pressure the men felt, the more they felt they had to live up to the ideals.

South Koreans burn Japanese flag in protest at mayor's defence of using their women as 'sex slaves' for army during WWII
- War veterans protested against Japan revising apology to 'comfort women'
- Former soldiers burned images of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Seoul
- 'Comfort women' were forced into prostitution during World War II
- Around 200,000 Chinese and Koreans were sex slaves for Japanese Army
South Korean war veterans were burning Japanese flags and images of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe today, after a top Japanese politician defended the use of Korean women as sex slaves during World War II.
Former soldiers rallied outside the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, to denounce comments made by Toru Hashimoto, mayor of Osaka, that 'comfort women' were necessary to 'maintain discipline' in the Japanese Army.
The women, mainly from the Korean peninsula and China, were taken from their homes and made to work in military brothels to 'comfort' soldiers with sex.
Fury: Veterans burn flags with of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, top, and Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto during a rally denouncing Japan in front of Japanese embassy in Seoul
Violence: A man is helped by fellow veterans after they clash with police during the rally in support of the thousands of 'comfort women' forced to prostitute themselves to the Japanese army during WWII
Anti-Japan: Vietnam War veterans chant slogans in front of the Japanese embassy as they demand an official apology for Japan's war crimes
The protest, which saw a large group
of former South Korean soldiers gather in front of the embassy, came
after Mr Abe's December pledge to take back an apology to 'comfort women'.
Soldiers held up banners with anti-Japanese slogans, punched pictures of Mr Hashimoto and burned and stamped flags with portraits of Shinzo Abe and the Osaka mayor.
South Korean police stepped in to calm the group of elderly men and several were injured in the scuffle that followed.
Mr Hashimoto's comments came amid mounting criticism at the prospect of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's conservative government revising Japan's past apologies for wartime atrocities.
Before he took office in December, Mr Abe had advocated revising a 1993 statement by then-Prime Minister Yohei Kono acknowledging and expressing remorse for the suffering caused to the sexual slaves of Japanese troops.
Anger: Protesting veterans try to tear and burn a Japanese flag outside the embassy during today's rally
Target: A former soldier sets fire to portraits of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, left, and Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto during the rally
Point made: A former soldier punches a portrait of Toru Hashimoto, the mayor of Osaka, who called the Japanese military brothels during World War Two 'necessary'
Stomping ground: As the protest escalated, portraits of Shinzo Abe and Toru Hashimoto were thrown on the ground for angry part-takers to tread on to mark their disdain
The remarks hit particularly hard in China, which was occupied by Japan during the war, and South Korea, a colony under Japan from 1910-1945.
Japan says the matter of compensation to the 'comfort women' was settled under a 1965 treaty establishing diplomatic ties.
In 1995, Japan set up a fund to make payments to the women from private contributions, but South Korea says that was not official and so not enough.
Earlier today a 91-year-old Japanese veteran spoke out against the injustice served to the estimated 200,000 Asian 'comfort women'.
Calm before the storm: The protest began with Vietnam War veterans holding banners with anit-Japan messages and shouting slogans outside the embassy
Not sorry: Both Osaka mayor Toru Hashimoto, left, and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, right, has recently made comments disregarding the pain caused to the 'comfort women' of the Japanese Army
In honour: Veterans stand beside a 'comfort woman' statue where they laid flowers before the protest
Masayoshi Matsumoto joined the Japanese army in 1943 and was sent to occupied China as a medic to help examine Korean 'comfort women'.
'I feel like a war criminal. It is painful to speak of such things and I would rather cover it up. It is painful, but I must speak,' Mr Matsumoto said.
Speaking from his daughter's home 25 miles from Tokyo, the retired Christian pastor said the 'comfort women' had no means of escape from the walled town where his military unit was stationed.
'No matter if they wanted to flee, there was no way to escape.'
Atrocities: Japanese war veteran Masayoshi Matsumoto, 91, denounces the use of 'comfort women' by his country
Recalling the conditions in which the women lived, Matsumoto said soldiers lining up for sex would unfasten their leg wrappings and lower their trousers so as to waste no time when their turns came.
'It was like they were going to the toilet,' he said. 'When I think of it now, it was monstrous, but I didn't think so then.'
The Japanese Government has tried to distance itself from Mr Hashimoto's remarks, saying its position on 'comfort women' is different.
'The stance of the government on this issue is that, as we stated previously, we are deeply pained when thinking of the women who experienced immeasurable pain and suffering.
On this point, the Abe cabinet has the same position as prior cabinets,' Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told a news conference last week, although he declined direct comment on Hashimoto's remarks.

Find a different seller,
This review is from: Slug Nematodes 12million (Treats 40sq.m)
Buy these every year, usually with excellent results. This time round application had no appreciable effect on slug numbers meaning that all my plants were subsequently eaten down to ground level. Tried contacting this seller "Green Gardner" by email but no response received, obviously not that interested in customer service.
