Post office defrauded of $16 million in stamps
On behalf of Frank A. Rubino, Esq. posted in federal crimes on Thursday, July 5, 2018.
A five-year scam robbed the United States Postal Service (USPS) of around $16 million in free deliveries. It happened through forgery combined with a little modern technology.
Three men, including one from Florida, operated a company that provided two large clients with bulk mailing services. They used a combination of shell companies and bank accounts to collect payments that were allegedly for postage -- but none of the money actually went to the post office itself.
Of course, sometimes the mail didn't go out either -- but that's a relatively small issue when one is more concerned with making sure that the USPS doesn't catch on that it's shipping around 80 million letters for free.
Instead of paying the post office for its services, the trio forged forms that are used to permit bulk mailings. They also forged a real postal clerk's signature on the forms without his knowledge. Using secret copies of keys that gave them access to an official postal timestamp, they were able to falsely show the postage on the mail as authenticated. Then, they would route much of the bulk mail they accepted back out -- just not always when they said it would be sent.
To fool customers, the men made fake receipts. If they weren't able to use the official timestamp, they'd simply throw the mail away -- and their customers were none the wiser. Meanwhile, the trio split the proceeds of the money they took from their clients.
It's unclear how the men were finally exposed and why the government is only charging them with a single count of mail fraud apiece. However, they each face the potential of a 20-year prison sentence for their crimes.
It's important to understand that mail fraud involving interstate mail always moves a case into the federal jurisdiction -- which can be very uncompromising and harsh toward defendants. Mail fraud is a serious crime. Even a single charge can result in serious penalties, so it's important for defendants to seek help with their case as soon as possible.

Kris Lonknife: Redoubtable is now accepted by ACE and will be published October-early November 2010 according to Author Mike Shepherd [profile]. This is the long awaited eight Kris Longknife Novel. There is a slight 'spoiler' from the author below, it doesn't reveal anything catastrophic I think.
Kris and her charming wearable computer Nelly are among my literary friends. That they will be back with more intrepid and undaunted adventures later this year fills me with joy. Kris has that famous Longknife streak that always lands her in trouble usually at the request of old grandpa Trouble. In the last book she had a little run in with the Iteeche, an alien race that almost wiped out the human race just a generation back. Being the nice girl she is she brought them with on a texmex adventure before they part ways after deciding to meet again.
Cover Art for the new novel is in it's final stages. Artist Scott Grimando have made the cover art for all the other Kris Longknife novells, so it would surprise me greatly if he wasn't doing Redoubtable. And Surprise, surprise when visiting his homepage grimstudios.com I find this beauty. A real action shoot with a determined Kris firing an impressing looking rifle framed in what looks like a mountain area being struck from above by weapon fire from ships in orbit around the ringed planet. Kris looks very beautiful on the picture, I wonder if she is in love?
There was one surprise in the final chapter that I think I can let out of the bag early. Kris is no longer in the Wardhaven Navy. It's official now, she is in the Royal U.S. Navy.
There is a glitch (how could there not be). U.S. does not stand for United Sentients like Grampa Ray wanted. It got changed during one of the last votes of the Constitutional Convention.
There were rumors about the Iteeche and meetings and things. Sentients sounded too open to those four eyed nasties, so US officially means United Societies. Kris has a bad feeling there is more behind the name change than meets the eye. She'll have to talk to her big brother next time she's on Wardhaven.

Once the drama course was established in Kinsale college in 2000, it quickly became clear that there was a problem with performing spaces. The college doesn't have an assembly hall, and none of the classrooms were big enough to hold an audience. Initially, the drama course rented out the Town Hall, but this was unsatisfactory, for reasons of finance and availability – not least, the Town Hall wasn't a very suitable space for theatre. This venue has since been closed, leaving Kinsale with no arena for public performance. (The amphitheatre is therefore needed as much by the local community as the college.) The drama course, then rented theatre spaces in Cork. This was even more unsatisfactory as the expense and organisational difficulties were greater. At the time the college started a new permaculture course, led by Rob Hopkins, who eventually left to start the now global phenomenon of the Transition Town Movement. He discussed building a theatre on the grounds out of sustainable building materials as part of a fetac Natural Building module. In consultation with Belinda Wild (head of drama) and her students, a theatre was designed to fit the specific needs of the drama course, leading to an amphitheatre stage being raised on the college grounds with outdoor seating. Belinda at the time was interested in the stage plans of the original Globe theatre of Shakespeare so that she could teach a form of drama she was developing which needed a shared space for ensemble acting. After the first performance in the amphitheatre, it became clear that the design of the theatre had led stage experiences that nobody there had encountered before. The audiences were spellbound, the actors were inspired. The college and the drama department were on to something special and the development of the theatre went on apace under the Directorship of Fergal McCarthy, who recognised the extraordinary achievements of the drama course and provided resources for a roof and surrounding walls, as a temporary protection for audiences whilst the cob-work progressed year-by-year.
Why is the Amphitheatre Unique?
The amphitheatre is a prime example of user-led architecture and design. Modern examples of user-led design are extremely rare and are generally highly valued, being seen as an antidote to the worst excesses of modern architecture, both aesthetically and in terms of user friendliness. It goes without saying that the amphitheatre is the only theatre of it's type in Ireland. But this is not only because it is user-led. Kinsale Amphitheatre has been designed to carry out a certain type of theatre which stands at the forefront of the modern stage practice. This practice, paradoxically, was first used in Elizabethan times at the Globe theatre in London in the early 1600's. Most modern theatres are designed so that the audience experience the play in a state of detachment, as if viewing the play on a large television. In Elizabethan times this was not the case. Theatres were designed so that the audience would experience the play happening all around them, as if they were actually inside the performance – detachment was not then seen as desirable. By modelling the Kinsale Amphitheatre on the Globe, and amending it year by year to fit the needs of the drama course (in a way that could never happen with a pre-fabricated architect-led design) the college arrived at a stage space which is able to provide much more powerful theatrical experiences for the audience and performers. This is why is a second reason why it is unique. There are no other spaces designed to 'share' performances, that we know of, in the country. Such performance spaces are in fact exceedingly uncommon the world over. A word frequently used about the amphitheatre by performers, audiences and visiting theatre professionals is the word magic – usually uttered in tones of awe. Most people have never experienced theatre as a shared experience in which they (as Elizabethans were) are immersed in the play, and as a result, in which performers must play to the audience without the barrier of the distancing (so-called) fourth wall.
Not only is the Amphitheatre a rarity for its being user-led, one-of-a-kind magical performance space, it is also an example of a building created with natural sustainable materials. It has been temporarily finished in wood, but the intention was to make it out of cob (a fireproof material used for building Irish and English houses, tried and tested for hundreds of years). Permaculture practitioners believe that the earth's rising population cannot go on using materials that are finite – (plastics, concrete etc) and that pollute the earth. Kinsale students have raised a building that is an example of sustainable architecture of the type being built by ordinary people all over the country as a means of being able to afford a home. Examples of cob self-build exist in Cloughjordan, Trim and the Hollies in West Cork to mention only a few. Referencing the past in a number of ways, the amphitheatre finds itself at the forefront of progressive thinking in theatre, architecture and the sustainability movement. It is for this reason that it has such a wide and varied constituency of individuals and organisations willing to offer it their support. Practitioners from the drama departments of UCC, CIT, and Salford University have all visited, seen productions and afterwards expressed a desire to use the facility as it is such a superb training ground for actors and spectacular setting for shows. The building has been enthusiastically referenced in print by those of the international transition town movement and permaculture fraternity and also progressive architects. Over the years the plays that have taken place in the amphitheatre have brought literally thousands of people to kinsale college, and the vast majority of the audiences are enthralled by both the building and productions. At open days it always gains the admiration and interest of visitors, and is a centre piece of the college for all those who enter the gates – an example of the work of hundreds of college students who have raised it or performed in it.
The Amphitheatre as a college resource.
Were it only for the above reasons the amphitheatre would be an outstandingly worthwhile asset to the college. But in the twelve years of its existence the building has also served as a conference centre for permaculture conventions; a gathering assembly hall where the entire student body can be addressed; it has hosted many shows by visiting professional companies; musical evenings and gigs have been performed there; not least, it functions as a classroom for the drama students during the day. The proposed development could only enhance this multi-faceted functionality. As a centre in which large groups can work and meet for conferences and workshops, it could be, if developed, of even greater use to the college and local community. In forging more links with the local community, theatre practitioners and other would-be users, the amphitheatre could be a useful source of income for the college.
The development would enable Kinsale college to continue an impressive record for being at the forefront of unique and progressive educational ideas and resources. This could only be good for Cork ETB and the region educationally and artistically.

Photos: Lynk & Co creates 'immersive' race experience in Japan
A fleet of cars were tested on the speedway, with media members following close on a safari-style bus so that they could feel the driving force of the new car.
Chinese-Swedish automotive brand Lynk & Co held an event at the Fuji International Speedway race track at the foothills of Mount Fuji in Oyama, Shizuoka to launch their new vehicle model, the 03. Pico was assigned to handle the project after already working on Lynk & Co launches in various cities across China in the last two years.
The objective provided by the client was to deliver an impressive launch and press event to show the audience how the new model and the brand can be differentiated from competitors. This resulted in an 'immersive race track' on-site experience. To kick off the demonstration portion of the event, a fleet of 03 cars were tested on the speedway, with media members following close on a safari-style bus so that they could feel the driving force of the new car.
Within the site, five zones were created including Design Space, Power Space, Brand Space, Driving Space and Car Racing Space which displayed the brand's vehicle design, mechanics, brand history, and electronic systems. There were also brand-themed interactive activities, like a DIY postcard workshop, interactive photo-taking and a hand-painting booth alongside ten food trucks serving Japanese fare.
For the actual launch at nighttime, an opening video of Lynk & Co milestones was played for guests followed by an introduction of the 03 on stage which was brought out amidst a light and sound-filled car show by six star racers. The launch also included a fashion show with crossover fashion products from Spanish sportswear brand Joma, with 30 models showcasing fashion items onstage.

I've been on a mini sabbatical, letting the ms in progress marinate in its own juices. Tomorrow I'll do a blitz read through to mark the places that need attention. I think there's plenty of work left to do. Then I'll put the book into readable form and start looking for beta readers. If you're not familiar with that term, it just refers to the folks who agree to read a nearly finished ms and respond in some detail as to what they think of the book.
As with so many things in life, the 80/20 rule seems to apply here. With the previous novel, only a small percentage of those readers who agreed to help actually did so. But feedback is important before the work goes public, so I'm compiling my list of potential betas. (No, not the Siamese fighting fish, humans who read novels.) I have many friends who write and I will certainly welcome their opinions, but I also want those of readers, the people who settle in with a book in hopes of enlightenment, entertainment, distraction–whatever makes them turn the pages. If folks reading this post are interested, please look up to the menu bar here on the blog and let me know via the "Get My News" link. In the space with your name add the word beta. Sometime next month I will distribute the ms electronically and hope to have the feedback not later than mid-March.

It's very rare that I willingly pick up a non-fiction book. From the very start of The Black Hand I was sucked in to an unknown world of the Italian mafia, filled with "threatening notes adorned with drawings of coffins and crosses and daggers." It is described as "a record of crime here during the last 10 years that is unparalleled in the history of a civilized country in a time of peace." Only the KKK would surpass The Black Hand society for production of mass terror.
Based on those statistics alone, one can assume it was "a big deal". And yet it's as if history glances over this period of violence. As I was reading I became angry; instead of memorizing President's names in high school, why weren't we being taught this? I know some people may disagree with me, and that's okay! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I feel the more informed we are from a young age, the better chance we have of history NOT repeating itself.
It is clear in Talty's book that we are repeating mistakes we've made from hidden history. The intolerance American citizens had for Italian immigrants in the early 1900s is astounding, and is a reminder of a certain intolerance we have today.
What I think is … humorous? ironic? sad? … is that each decade of history you could remove Italian and place a new race in there. My biggest question is, when is intolerance going to stop? Sadly, I do not see it happening any time soon. The Black Hand was truly an eye-opening read. Stephan Talty aptly delivers forgotten history in an engaging way. There's no napping during these history lessons.
"The Black Hand" by Stephan Talty is available now! I was chosen by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt to receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Given that fact, it has not altered my opinion on the book at all.

Queens Park man burns home as cops watch
01 Aug, 2021 - 00:08 2021-07-31T22:21:26+00:00 2021-08-01T00:02:56+00:00 0 Views
Mrs Molly Nyamakawo shows one of the rooms that was burnt
Robin Muchetu, Senior Reporter
"MAYBE I was destined to live a life like Job in the Bible, to have nothing and suffer . . . I had to humble myself to my son as if I was his child."
These are the heartrending words of Mrs Molly Nyamakawo of Queens Park East suburb in Bulawayo after her only son, the first-born Trevor burnt down the family home in a fit of rage that she is yet to comprehend. Trevor (29) was about to spend his second day at the home after having arrived from South Africa aboard omalayitsha (cross-border transporters) who demanded payment as he had come as a "pay forward" when he burnt down the house.
"My son came from South Africa two days ago, because of the Covid-19-induced lockdowns he was struggling and I was sending him money almost every month for rentals and food. He had spent two years there. He just decided to come back and I told him to hold on a bit and wait for the situation to improve because things were equally tough this side.
He insisted on coming back to stay in his father's home. Their father died in 2012 and I had been raising them single handedly. We then had an argument and my other daughter told him not to stress me as I was struggling all along to take care of them. She also encouraged him to wait a little and he refused," said Mrs Nyamakawo.
She said she refused to sponsor his return home as she said he was a problem child.
"He had been a nuisance all along, I have been living a miserable life because of him. So, he got an omalayitsha to come back to Zimbabwe, they called me and said they were bringing him and I needed to pay for the journey and I refused arguing that I had not agreed with them. I also had no money too after having sent him some recently."
She went on:
"I told the transporters that they could not do their business that way without any agreements. They then dropped him off in Pretoria as I had refused to pay. He got hold of certain pastors from the Bushiri Church and they paid some money to a different omalayitsha and when he arrived at the gate, he was short of R200 which he demanded I pay and I had to borrow US$10 from my tenant and I added the only R20 that I had although it was not enough. The man understood and he was dropped off."
Mrs Nyamakawo said all seemed well on the first day.
"We had our supper. He was narrating how things were in South Africa and the challenges he encountered there. The following morning, he started behaving strangely, smoking dagga in the house and I reprimanded him as we have a baby in the house. He started chasing us away saying it was his father's home and had all rights to stay there. I told him we must live in harmony as we are family and address all challenges we have," she said.
Mrs Nyamakawo said she decided to end the conversation as he is a person of violent nature. In the evening he started banging things in the home destroying property and she went and made a police report.
"I was told to go back home as it was now in the curfew hours and told to come the following day. We locked ourselves in our rooms together with the tenants for our safety. We only slept at 3am as he was destroying property. I returned to the police the next morning," she said.
She said she went home in the company of a police officer and he rendered no assistance and two more policemen were dispatched.
"Trevor started chasing people away from the house saying he wanted to live with me alone, he had indicated that he wanted to kill me. After we came from the police we got home to find a red flag at the gate symbolising a bereavement. He had locked himself in the house.
The cops then started exchanging words with him and they dared him to do what he wished and Trevor said he wanted to burn the house and they said he must burn it. We were outside the gate. I think he opened the gas cylinder and lit a match. He climbed on top of the roof and was exchanging words with the police. They barred anyone from entering the yard to try and catch him and to also save some of the property, at that time only the kitchen was burning," she said.
Mrs Nyamakawo claimed the police refused to arrest him saying he had a knife and they were scared.
"They did not do anything and the whole house burnt while we were watching. Trevor jumped into the neighbour's yard and ran away.
He returned at night and slept in the fowl run. So, I have been trying to contact the police officers assigned to the case but they have turned a blind eye to the matter, they have stopped answering my calls too. So, I don't know who will protect us if they cannot speak to us, Trevor comes here at night but no effort is being made to catch him and we are scared for our lives because he is dangerous and can come back for us," she said.
In 2018, Trevor attacked his mother severely and was arrested and taken to Bulawayo Prison but was released a week later.
Mrs Nyamakawo said she does not know what became of the case.
"I have had problems with him since his father died. I had to humble myself as if I am his child, unfortunately many people never believed my stories when I told them as he was a nice guy to other people. However, our neighbours witnessed many of his shenanigans and they are aware of his behaviour."
This made all his friends distance themselves from him because he was a problem, she said. Neighbours who assisted to clean the house instructed Mrs Nyamakawo to leave as soon as they had finished fearing that Trevor would return and harm her in their absence.
The family which is composed of the mother, two daughters and a two-year-old girl child is currently in need of food, clothing, blankets, sanitary ware, toiletries and any other help as all their belongings were burnt. Contact details for Mrs Nyamakawo are 0773675588 — @NyembeziMu

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in knowledge as to how micro-organisms function in nature and co-operate in a community or the "microbiome".
Certain micro-organisms are currently used (or have the potential to be used) in a variety of products and applications such as biofertilisers, plant protection products, biofuel production, bioremediation, cleaners, detergents as well as in the control of disease transmission.
To date, there have been few uses of transgenic micro-organisms in such products and applications, though that might change in the future.
In order that products involving transgenic micro-organisms are used in a responsible way, it is important that regulatory oversight involves a rigorous risk / safety assessment.
This publication includes the proceedings of the OECD conference on the "Environmental Uses of Micro Organisms: An Overview of the State-of-the-Art and Implications for Biotechnology Risk/Safety Assessment". It was organised under the auspices of OECD's Working Group on the Harmonisation of Regulatory Oversight in Biotechnology (WG-HROB), in collaboration with the OECD Co-operative Research Programme under the Trade and Agriculture Directorate.

There is a great sense of well being in knowing that the roof over your head is in good condition. A professionally restored roof also beautifies your home, and the cream on the cake is the knowledge that a roof in good condition also adds to the value of your property. All of this is achieved with Ellemex.
Ellemex is exclusive to Roof Seal®, providing top quality protection for your Cement tiled roof, in a manner that eclipses all other preparations currently available. The basis for Ellemex's strength and success lies in the unique formula. Developed after literally thousands of hours of research and evaluation and test applications. Ellemex has it's own 'secret formula'. Our Chemists discovered that by varying the cationic charge of surfactants in the mixture, a powerful bonding property was established. In simple terms the result of this continual experimentation is a coating that exceeds all others in terms of strength, durability, flexibility and colour fastness.
Roof Seal's tradesmen are carefully trained in the application of Ellemex. Airless guns are used to ensure uniformity of coating and regular technical and technique updates are provided to our tradesmen.
A major part of the successful formula for Ellemex is it's resistance to UV light. This increases the protective properties of the coating and adds considerably to the life of the coating. It's great strength comes from the fact that it will not become fragile or brittle with continued exposure to UV radiation.
Another important advantage you get with Ellemex is it's 'rainwater safe' ability. It adds nothing to the rainwater being collected by your roof, ensuring your rainwater supply is healthy and additive free from your roof coating.
Thicker application means a high quality, strong finish. In preparing the formula for Ellemex, a primary consideration was the need for a finish that was not just functional but one that was attractive as well. The difficulty was in developing a formula that provided both. the extensive research paid off with a coating that is thick and strong and very attractive to the eye. The clean finish and range of colours that are available can dramatically transform the look of your home. Ellemex is the leading coating available on the market today, no other product comes close to it. To ensure your complete satisfaction and peace of mind, we provide a seven(7) year guarantee on Ellemex. By deciding to apply Ellemex to your home, you will have added substantially to the value of your property as well as increasing it's beauty and 'street appeal'.

UM SRH Supports Maryland Food Bank Sites on the Eastern Shore
December 3, 2021 by UM Shore Regional Health Leave a Comment
Arvin Singh, Vice President, Strategy and Communications, UM SRH is shown with Jennifer Small, Senior Program Director, Maryland Food Bank at the Cambridge delivery site.
The University of Maryland Shore Regional Health has partnered with the Maryland Food Bank – Eastern Shore Branch to help address food insecurity challenges impacting local residents, providing a donation of $4,000.
The UMSRH donation will provide $800 in funding for food purchases allocated to five distribution centers: Easton Church of God in Easton; Aaron's Place in Denton; Scott's United Methodist Church in Trappe; Mt Olive AME Church in Worton; and Eastern Shore Wellness in Cambridge.
"At Shore Regional Health, caring for our communities goes beyond the walls of our hospitals and outpatient facilities," said Ken Kozel, President and CEO, UM SRH. "We know that food insecurity has adverse health effects, especially for children and the elderly as well as individuals with chronic illness. As an anchor institution serving our broad, five-county region, we are happy to partner with the Maryland Food Bank staff and volunteers in their ongoing work to reduce hunger and deprivation in our communities."
Jennifer Small, Senior Regional Program Director for the Maryland Food Bank Eastern Shore Branch, said during the COVID-19 pandemic, most food distribution sites across the state continue to see increased demand due to food insecurity numbers. In addition, grocers and retail vendors who donate surplus food to the Maryland Food Bank continue to face their own supply constraints, resulting in less excess product for donation.
"Shore Regional Health's donation of $4,000 will provide approximately 12,000 nourishing meals," said Small. "We are very grateful for their support and their commitment to enhancing the overall health of the community."

Canceled: WC Institute for Religion, Politics, and Culture Hosts Professor Bill McClay in Easton Senior Nation: Using Posture Power by Susan Covey


To raise awareness of policy makers on key issues on lifelong learning, adult education and literacy, UIL has started developing a series of policy briefs. The theme of the Policy Brief No.1 is Quality Matters: Improving the Status of Literacy Teaching Personnel, and is based on the discussions of experts and practitioners from more than ten countries during the "International Workshop on Strategies for the Improvement of the Status of Literacy Teaching Personnel" (held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in March 2013). In this brief it is argued that to harness the potential of the world's illiterates, policy-makers and practitioners need to focus their attention on improving the status of literacy facilitators, because teaching personnel are vital to ensure quality in education. Based on the experience from a various countries, it suggests possible elements for reflection and action.


Man U. star Ole plays at Ballymena Showgrounds!
OLE Gunnar Solskjaer, the man who has helped turn the fortunes of Manchester United, had a very brief spell at Ballymena Showgrounds!
For the ace striker was part of the Norway side which came to town to train - prior to playing Northern Ireland the following day in a friendly at Windsor Park, Belfast.
It will be 18 years ago next month since Solskjaer and co. made use of the Showgrounds facilities while part of the Province was lying deep in snow!
It was the then Ballymena United manager Kenny Shiels who brought the Old Trafford star and his Norwegian team mates to the Showgrounds.
Speaking to Guardian Sport this week Shiels, whose last job was boss of League of Ireland side Derry City, recalled the time he set-up the Ballymena date for the Norway international side.
He said the Northern Ireland v Norway clash was in doubt due to snow which had carpeted the Belfast venue.
"The heavy snowfall played havoc with match preparations," outlined Shiels, who was in charge of looking after the Norwegian side during their stay in the Province.
They said they needed somewhere snow-free to train and Shiels suggested they use the then Ballymena Borough Council owned facilities at the Showgrounds.
Shiels made a couple of phone calls and had no trouble at all setting up the United ground as the Norwegians base for their 90 minutes workout. And use of the venue certainly paid handsome dividends - although NI boss Sammy McIlroy was not too pleased at just how successful it had been!
At Ballymena Showgrounds Manchester United star Solskjaer and co. met a handful of young United fans and posed for photographs and signed autographs..
Ross Wylie and Richard and Stephen Quigley had their photo taken along with the Norwegian and Man U star!
On what was a bitterly cold afternoon, back on Tuesday, February 27, 2001, with some traces of snow on the main pitch, the Norway side was put through its paces by coach Nils Johan Semb.
Afterwards they were coached back to the Hilton Stakis Hotel in Templepatrick. At the time Ballymena Showgrounds was undergoing a £2.5 million facelift.
Boss Shiels said it would have been nice to invite the Norwegians back when the Second Phase, which was to include a new stand at 'The Clock' side of the ground, was complete.
"Perhaps they, Solskjaer and all, should be asked to attend the official opening," quipped Shiels.
Back in January 2001 Shiels was appointed manager of Ballymena United.
He was full of praise for Ballymena Council who bent over backwards to accommodate the Norwegians.
Meanwhile, Solskjaer, who will be 46 next month, is current caretaker manager of Manchester United.
He has guided The Reds to seven wins out of seven since taking over. Before he arrived in England, Solskjær played for Norwegian clubs Clausenengen and Molde.
He joined Manchester United in 1996 for a transfer fee of £1.5 million. Nicknamed "The Baby-faced Assassin", he played 366 times for United, and scored 126 goals during a successful period for the club.
He was regarded as a "super sub" for his trait of coming off the substitute bench to score late goals.
Solskjær's defining moment in football came in injury time of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, where he scored the winning last-minute goal against Bayern Munich, completing a remarkable comeback and winning The Treble for United. He returned to his native country in 2011 to manage his former club, Molde, whom he led to their two first ever Tippeligaen titles in his first two seasons with the club. He secured a third title in as many seasons, when his team won the 2013 Norwegian Football Cup Final. In 2014, he served as manager of Cardiff City, during which the club were relegated from the Premier League.

The government of Russia took a measure of banning the export of wheat and other related foodstuffs in early August the year 2010. This was due to many reasons that were facing the country. Among the most direct reasons include extended drought period, wild fires and recorded high temperatures that affected the crop. The prime minister ordered this to take effect from the middle of the month to the end of the year (VOANews.com, 2010).
Bhatia (2010) asserts that the plan was a measure to curb the prices of wheat domestically as well as avoid supply problems at home for the local consumer. According to media reports, Russia slashed 20 percent of its forecast on wheat harvest at the end of the season due to the continuity of the problem.
Russia being a leading exporter of wheat in the world is at crossroads to balance the fact that local consumption of the crop is basic as well as the international market's high demand. The governments then decided that the local demand be taken care of first then the international demand later. However, this action has consequences both locally and abroad through the prices and the quantity delivered. This is in the short and long term duration thereafter (Hernandez, Robles & Torero, 2010).
We are going to see in this paper the impact of the decision in Russia now and in the next few years as well as the other markets. We are specifically going to discuss the reactions by the local people and their expectations thereafter. We are also broadly going to see the greater impact on the international prices and demand. The reaction of the markets abroad will be how to curb the expected shortage of the crop in the last quarter of the year on their markets.
The paper will be based on the issue of economic efficiency of the strategy as well as the viability of the step that was taken of export ban. Further, the economic equity of the action will be addressed as well as the general impact on the environment.
This being a natural resource, wheat as a crop poses a big challenge to both the farmers and the government to preserve and continue reaping from it without affecting its well being. We are thus going to discuss the uncertainty of its tenure as well as the impact of the negative externalities.
1. What were the reasons which led to the ban on the export of wheat?
2. What is the immediate impact of the Russian ban on wheat domestically?
3. What is the reaction of the international market initially?
4. How is the local and the international market likely to approach the expected shortage?
5. What is the economic efficiency of the steps taken?
6. How has the environment been affected and what has it affected the situation?
7. Wheat being a natural resource how is the problem of uncertainty of tenure, unregulated externalities as well as the undervaluation of the resource being tackled?
2. To address the immediate reaction and the impact of the ban on the local Russian market.
3. To measure the reaction of the international market in terms of the economic variables such as prices, quantity of supply etc.
4. To predict the most appropriate actions that the international markets are taking to address the expected shortage.
5. To determine the efficiency of the action of banning of the export and how it will affect the economy in itself both locally and internationally.
6. To examine the environmental reasons leading to the actions.
7. To highlight the problems of the three U's namely uncertainty of tenure, undervaluation of the resources as well as unregulated negative externalities.
These are the methods, techniques and procedures used to collect the information. In this case, the data used for analyzing the impact of Russia's export ban on wheat was mainly obtained through data mining. The internet was a key source of information together with text books obtained from the library. Relevant data was collected from various websites and textbooks.
Hernandez, Robles & Torero (2010) point out that Russia produces about 8 to 10 percentage of the world's total wheat crop. According to statistics the recent catastrophes which are due to the increased heat and temperatures have led to increased wildfires and a further reduction in total annual wheat production. Specifically it's estimated that there is a 10 percent reduction in the total output in the late quarter of 2010. Russia exported about 21 million metric tons of wheat translating to about 6 to eight million metric tons in reduction.
The root cause of the ban is analyzed from the fact that the business people who are the farmers, dealers and even the government realized the fact that the local market is going to experience a d3eficit in supply and demand which increase of price would be inevitable. However the reason for the ban was due to the unprecedented climatic condition that the country is facing now (BBC News, 2010).
The impact on the domestic market was expected to be immediate. All the stake holders in the wheat industry felt the pinch. The action being on national level was all inclusive to all the farmers regardless of whether they had good or bad harvests. For instance some parts of Russia dint experience the large heat wave and many farmers are expecting a bumper harvest. Many farmers target both the subsistence and commercial aspects (Agrawal, 2010). The local traders are likely to be impacted by the ban financially. The profits are also likely to go down because even if the government attempts to buy from the farmer the price will likely be a bit lower than the international price.
The local consumers will be affected in a positive way though in a temporary way. This is because the food security is guaranteed for now. The prices also will be stable because the supply of the wheat is likely to be in tandem with the demand. However this may be short lived because it's uncertain how the future of the climatic conditions is likely to be. This means the government must come up with measures to address the pending issues (Hernandez, Robles & Torero, 2010).
Taking a case study of Egypt Philippines and Saudi Arabia the biggest importers of Russian wheat the impact was big as expected. The Northern Africa state has however reported that the country has enough reserves for the crop. Through its minister of agriculture it made it clear that the food supply for the crop is enough to last for close to a year. This is by the fact the country subsides wheat ant its products in a certain proportion. This will be in effect to stabilize its prices. However one challenge that the country will be facing now is that the security is only temporary. The demand for the wheat products is greater in Egypt than any country since it's the most populous country in the Arab world (Al Arabiya News Chanel, 2010).
Saudi Arabia also is on of the highest importer of wheat world wide. Most of its population takes wheat as the staple food. It was on e country that had a more prepared approach to the issue than its counterpart Egypt. There was a prior arrangement by the Saudi government to import soft wheat from the west. The country was experiencing decline in prices of the wheat from the previous year but this may not be the case in the late 2010 (Al Arabiya News Chanel, 2010, 2010).
Philippines is one of the poorest nations in the Asian countries. The consumption of what in that country is almost to the dot. The ban on the commodity is likely to pose a big challenge especially to the poor people in the country which depends on the product. This will be a greater social misfortune than the economic impact.
BBC News (2010) explains that the reaction of the two wealthier countries reflects two scenarios of two countries one with a grater dependency on the wheat supply on Russia and another with a lesser dependence. This means that even on the global front, prices are likely to increase for all the related commodities where the demand is to likely to surpass the supply. However according to 'Green World Investor 'the third country (Philippines) will not only experience a huge economic impact through destabilization of price and food insecurity but also the increased poverty levels. Then this leads us to the questions on what are the governments' steps to curb these challenges of wheat shortage.
Egypt gave out a broad formula on how to deal with the problem in both short and long term aspect. In the short term the country will decide to import lesser quality wheat from Kazakhstan and Iran for a shorter time as they decide on how to fill the balance. In the long term the country has installed the diversification policy whereby the food supply is not only guaranteed but maintained. It has resolved to plant more of the crop for subsistence through its irrigation systems. It has also imported about 240000 metric tons of wheat from France (Smith, 2010).
Al Arabiya News Chanel (2010) adds that Saudi Arabia has imported little wheat from 2008 and was expected to import an increased amount from Russia at the last quarter before the prior knowledge of the ban. However, this ban has made the Saudi government resolve to import several metric tones of wheat. In the long term the irrigation system in the country will be the likely to be the focus of the country for the next years to stabilize the food security.
These questions should be analyzed through the perspective of the Russian farmers, the government and the international commercial market. The huge farm owners of the Russian wheat business naturally must have expected the international prices to be high at the end of the year during the festive season; however the government took the action to ban the exports all inclusively to protect its national food security (Smith, 2010). This must affect them because the governments usually subsidize the farmers minimally and set price that are standard when such actions are taken. This means the farmers will not depend on the forces of market to determine the prices but by the governments. If the governments further directs that all the farmers to comply with rules it may lead to local oversupply of the product making it inefficient to produce the crop.
The only party that will find the action be efficient is the government not only in the economic perspective but the political aspect as well. But this will only be achieved in the short term. It's likely that the domestic market will be enjoying the relative food supply and price stability and the political temperature e also very sustaining (Al Arabiya News Chanel, 2010).
According to Al Arabiya News Chanel (2010), in the long term however, there will be a shift of market by the initial big importers of the Russian wheat to more reliable sources like the European markets. This is through the fact that the countries need a reliable source of its wheat supply from a consistent source. We can say that the efficiency in the long term can be uncertain as it may be bleak.
This lack of faith will make the Russian government lose the market share and reliability hence future markets will be not in favor of the produce.
In the international market, the efficiency of banning of the export is negative. The supply of wheat a basic food in most countries especially the Sothern Sahara and the lower side of the Asian countries will be lesser than the demand. For instance, in Maputo, Zimbabwe the demand for the wheat is triple the available supply. According to sources there have been reported incidences of social unrest in the capital. This deficit means that the affected countries will spend more on buying the products or subsidizing the wheat in order to cover for the deficit. This reflects to amore stagnant global economy (BBC News, 2010).
The ban will not only be economically inefficient but also socially. For instance, some countries which have projects of charities and in developing nations are affected by the wheat supply deficiency. This will mean that the food security, if blocked will result to a cut in those projects making it harder to deliver the aids to the needy people. Although Russia claims that the ban is only temporary it may have severe impact in future (Nickel, 2010).
The government of Russia has been a victim of natural catastrophes such as heat wave and 2wild fires. All these can be attributed to the actions that the country takes in the environmental management. The huge industries that the country boasts of have been a major contributor to the environmental degradation in the country (Smith, 2010).
The practices of farming too have been a contributing factor in the environment degradation. The use of insecticides and other chemicals that affect the soils and water but increase the productivity have contributed greatly. These are the policies that the government ought to address to have a long term solution.
Smith (2010) explains that it has been discovered that Russia has the climatic conditions diverted the heat waves to Pakistan leading to the unprecedented heat flooding in the country. The impact of such happenings has greatly decreased the wheat quantity in Russia. The environmental mismanagement has led to a collective responsibility of many dependent nations of bearing the brunt of the economical and social instability. Domestically this translates to hiking of both the social and marginal costs of the grain as a commercial commodity.
These are third party effects that exist in production or consumption of a particular product which is not necessary to be compensated. They have a danger I that they can cause market failure if the social benefits and costs are not taken into considerations. An example that is president in the issue of Russian scenario is the issue of pollution (Tutor2u, 2010).
This is a problem where wheat is overly undervalued through the underlined indirect costs that result from the the above externality. This means the general economy has the general risk of losing in the income that is supposed to realize (Tutor2u, 2010).
This is also a problem that is prevalent on all natural resources where it is not with perfect certainty that the resource has the longevity that it is supposed to benefit the people.
Through out this study we have seen the action of the Russian government and the effects that have been realized thereafter. It is also important to come up with the suggestions that might likely be the remedy to all the problems. These are mere observations that are challengeable but also have a bigger impact to alter the situation (Nickel, 2010).
The Russian government should lift the ban in part to allow for foreign trade. This means the local traders will be able to participate in the international trade. The move will also help Russia to maintain the market share and reputation in future. The ban should be in place for a shorter time period to help shorten the effect of the long term (Pearse, 2010).
To help curb the international pressure especially on the countries with the most need, Russia should consider continuing o supply those countries with the necessary food stuffs.
Lastly the country should be in a frontline to set policies that are in tandem with curbing the climatic change that will in effect help curb the issue of climate change. This is through correct disposure of waste and smoke as well as controlling the use of chemicals that will eventually cause the climatic change (Hernandez, Robles &Torero, 2010).
These observations are as a result of the specific examination of the global economy as it is right now and the way forward of the actions. Finally we are to analyze the effect of the Russian wheat industry in future from the economist point of view (Hernandez, Robles &Torero, 2010). The effect of the economy in the Russian wheat is uncertain now because of not only the changing economic dynamics in the world but also the issue of market share and the command it is likely to take in future.
First the reputation of Russia as a reliable source of wheat is at stake. The issue of terming the ban as a short term measure may have even larger long term impact. Countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia are turning to western countries for the supply of the same product this will reduce Russian market for the domestic good (Pearse, 2010).
In conclusion the Russian wheat ban has been the highlight of the world food security due to the overall impact on the globe. Also the issue is important in the global food prices and stability. It is important that world food producers should consider policy of such important commodities to prevent greater negative impact.

Anthem ordered to pay over $330,000 for previous TNA lawsuit
Comments Off on Anthem ordered to pay over $330,000 for previous TNA lawsuit
PWInsider.com is reporting that production company Audience Of One Productions will be paid $336,602 by Impact Wrestling after the company admitted in court that it breached their deal.
Originally, AO1 sued the-then TNA for $222,123 plus interest back in September 2015 along with their Chief Financial Officer Dean Broadhead and Aroluxe Marketing. Aroluxe were eventually dropped from the lawsuit. The U.S. District Court of Eastern District of Virginia officially closed the lawsuit yesterday with prejudice.
The lawsuit stems from a deal that AO1 entered with TNA for a long-term, multi-event, production services agreement, pursuant to which AOl would provide a variety of production services for live TNA events, including audio/visual and broadcasting work, lighting, set construction and breakdown.

15th Canadian 'Mystery Foot' Found
Authorities in Canada are calling on the public for help in solving the case of yet another mysterious foot that washed ashore in British Columbia. The latest disarticulated limb was reportedly found back in September, but is only being revealed to the public now that investigators have reached a dead end in their attempt to track down its owner. For those keeping score at home, it marks the 15th mystery foot to be found in the area since 2007.
In this particular instance, the BC Coroners Service provided a pretty detailed look at the foot that has stumped investigators. According to a spokesperson for the agency, it was found in a size nine-and-a-half Nike running shoe that they were able to establish was manufactured for only a few months in early 2017. They also determined that the person who once possessed the foot was likely under the age of 50. Alas, however, DNA taken from the limb did not yield any matches in a database of missing persons.
