As the Government announces the appointment of a "Smuggling Czar" to tackle the massive trade in illicit tobacco, Customs and Excise estimates that L1,2 billion in revenue is lost each year through the crossChannel smuggling of both alcohol and tobacco. These are bulky items, difficult to hide compared with drugs, and the best way to shift large amounts of illegal goods like these is in trucks. And it's a growing trade, says Customs and Excise spokesman Mark Thompson.
"The whole thing to do with alcohol and tobacco did not exist a few years ago but it is a major problem at the moment and undoubtedly hauliers are involved, usually deliberately because, with alcohol in particular, it's a bulk cargo and they are not trying to disguise it. But we have seen some sophisticated concealment of cigarettes which is approaching that which you get with class-A drugs," says Thompson.
Cigarette smuggling is an area of considerable growth, brought into the EU from Eastern Europe. Price differences due to tax and the strong pound are driving the trade and Thompson says Customs regularly picks up large-scale shipments of cigarettes in lorries coming into Dover from Eastern Europe.
A year ago the Government announced a crack-down on bootleggers, and Customs and Excise pursues hauliers involved in this crime with persistence, says Thompson: "The maximum sentence for alcohol and tobacco smuggling is seven years and last year the Court of Appeal issued stricter sentencing guidelines to the Crown and Magistrate Courts, so currently by far the majority of sentences are prison terms. They may be short but they will be prison sentences nevertheless."
Customs and Excise warns that it will strike at peoples' livelihoods by automatically asking for driving bans and by writ ing to the Traffic Commissioners to oppose offenders' 0-licences. "We will also be asking the courts for compensation orders," says Thompson. This could include the seizing or freezing of assets, possibly including the operator's vehicle. "This is a way to get at people without necessarily putting them in prison and it sends a very strong deterrent to the industry," continues Thompson.
Since the crack-down, Thompson says detection rates have gone up enormously and the tax value of goods seized has more than doubled during the past financial year.
Customs and Excise officials are also cooperating with the police around Dover by attending roadblocks. While vehicles are checked for roadworthiness, Customs officers now look for bootleg alcohol and tobacco as well as rebated "red" diesel.
Overall the Customs and Excise department finds the haulage community a valuable ally in the war against smugglers and works with the Road Haulage Association and Freight Transport Association to combat the problem. Also hauliers and Ferry operators help by keeping a look-out for anything unusual and reporting it, says Thompson,
It's pretty hard for a driver to explain away a large consignment of bootleg alcohol or tobacco but a package of drugs, hidden deep inside the load on a trailer, is a different matter and must feature in every international truck driver's nightmares.
In these cases most drivers are innocent, says Stephen jakobi, director and founder of Fair Trials Abroad, a non-profit-making organisation set up to help EU citizens in trouble outside their own countries. He has been a criminal lawyer for 35 years and never has fewer than six cases of truck drivers detained under suspicion of smuggling on his books at any one time. "We are still seeing a pattern of people who, if the presumption of innocence means anything, ought to be let go or acquitted and they are not," says Jakobi, who blames Continental judges. "They seem to think that a lorry driver has some magic way of knowing what's in his load—X-ray eyes or something. There have been too many incidences ollorry drivers being convicted of smuggling goods where no evidence exists against them and the goods were inside sealed packages in the lorries," he continues.
It's usually owner-operators who are most at risk, says Jakobi. He warns that they should be very careful about accepting return loads from companies in Spain, Turkey or Morocco which they do not know thoroughly. Another danger area is Switzerland, which he says is a favourite route for smugglers who want to bring gold bullion or cigarettes into the EU.
"With Spain you are talking cannabis in fairly large quantities made up to look like ordinary pallets and put in as part of your load which you can't inspect," says Jakobi. "The best thing to do is deal only with well-known companies doing well-known things from regular depots or from places where you know the company has a proper reputation."
If a British driver is arrested on the Continent Jakobi says the first thing to do, after getting hold of the British Consul, is to contact his organisation, which keeps lists of reliable lawyers throughout Europe. He also stresses that the driver should get in touch with British Customs and Excise and also the police, if possible, so the matter can be sorted out quickly at the UK end.
"Innocent or not you can sit in prison for a very long time in places such as France and Spain while they check you out," says Jakobi. While he has a generally low opinion of the justice systems throughout Europe, Jakobi puts Belgium at the top of his blacklist: "If you get mixed up in the Belgian justice system it is extraordinarily bad news. There are no rules of evidence...therefore judges can convict just because they feel a defendant is guilty. And that can open the door to such things as racial prejudice, stereotyping and xenophobia."
Those working on groupagc in Europe are particularly vulnerable, says Jakobi; "They are really parcels carriers and it's no „ good treating them any differ/*:-. ently. We have had a lot of problems with drivers on groupage jobs being kept in for many months in France. I find it a total scandal that the transport industry as a whole isn't up in arms about this.
"People manage to get things onto trucks and the driver is always blamed," he concludes. "It would be different if the haulage company was always blamed; I wish that would happen. Then we would get the industry up in arms very quickly. The victims are the people driving the lorries. Nobody else."

As a true pet lover, you must have relished watching the super humorous acts of the French Bulldogs, especially the pups. These furry pooches seem to be adorable and comical at the same time. Besides this, they are also considered among the easy-going and friendly dog breeds across the globe.
If you are thinking to bring home this compassionate furry companion, then it is necessary to access the temperament and behavior of Frenchie thoroughly. It would play a pivotal role in the upbringing of your beloved pet in the best possible way. In this blog, we are going to find out are French Bulldogs hyper, high energy, and destructive or not.
French Bulldogs are hyperactive and energetic as puppies and sometimes these behavioral characteristics can be seen in their adulthood also. They can also be destructive at times if they are not able to release their energy due to a lack of exercise. Although these pooches do sleep a lot, after waking up, they require plenty of stimulation and attention to stay active yet even-tempered.
There is no denying to the fact that French Bulldogs are highly-energetic dogs. Well, the most challenging part is to channelize their energy into the most productive manner. The following factors would give you a better understanding of their behavioral mechanism.
Treat them the right way
French Bulldogs can turn out to be the best pals if you treat them the right way. When it comes to the destructive behavior of your Frenchie, it could be because of the lack of love, care, attention, and affection. Generally, pets anticipate being treated in the most loving ways by their owners. When it does not happen their way, these pooches often feel neglected and as a result, they become destructive and impulsive.
Provide a welcoming atmosphere at home
It is often seen that those pets which are not treated properly at home, tend to become destructive. That is why it is very important to keep the atmosphere at home welcoming for your pet as it would help him to stay calm and contented. If you yell or behave aggressively with your Frenchie, there would be more chances of him copying your hostile behavior.
Get rid of the misconception that Frenchies are lazy
There is a misconception among most people that Frenchies are lazy pets. However, as stated above, these adorable pets do sleep a lot but when they wake up, they would not rest in one place. They require stimulation to stay active but this does not imply that they are lazy.
When they are awake throughout the day, their energy is enough to lighten up a dull and gloomy day of yours. They are highly energetic pets; all they require is regular exercise, a nutritious diet, and oodles of love and affection from their owners.
Not fit for intense physical activities
French Bulldogs are brachycephalic due to their anatomy that consists of an inwardly pushed nose. Apart from this, they have nostrils with a narrow passage that makes it difficult for them to breathe properly. However, it does not make Frenchies less active.
They have got high energy levels in them but the only difference is that they are not suitable for intensive workout sessions. French Bulldogs get tired or exhausted faster than the other dog breeds if they workout more than their capacity.
Also, Frenchies cannot play or exercise outdoors for long during summers as it can lead to heatstroke. Besides this, if these furry companions are getting indulged in high-intensity physical activities for longer, then it can lead to breathlessness in them.
French Bulldogs are hyperactive pals
Frenchies are hyperactive and they would make you run behind them till they are left with zero energy. These adorable pets are extremely playful and often perform comical acts, even in their adulthood as well. When Frenchies are young, they are quite zealous about exploring their surroundings as much as they can. These lovable companions tend to chew and destroy things on which they are getting their hands on.
Undoubtedly, Frenchies are the most destructive and hyperactive as well when they are small. The pups of French Bulldogs are full of energy and possess destructive habits also. Due to this, the initial 10-12 months of your Frenchie’s life are going to be super chaotic for you. During this phase, they become more inquisitive to explore the small world that sparks in their innocent eyes.
Not prone to ADHD disorder
ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyper-Activity Disorder. However, French Bulldogs cannot get affected by this clinical disorder. The hyperactivity mechanism in dogs is medically referred to as hyperkinesis. Frenchies can also get hyperactive because of their genes and characteristics inherited by their parents as well. Usually, the main cause behind the hyper behavior of pets can be a lack of attention and impulsiveness. This can be treated through proper medication and training.
Hyperactive in adulthood too
The hyperactivity and destructive behavior of a French Bulldog can be curbed through training and socializing. However, it is observed that when Frenchies step into their adulthood, their hyperactivity and hostile behavior tends to calm down. This does not mean that they do not remain active after growing up.
Generally, French Bulldogs are neutered when they turn around 4-9 months old. This results in curbing aggressive behavior and hyperactivity in them. As a result, Frenchies exhibit reduced hyperactive behavioral patterns.
The destructive behavior of French Bulldog
Generally, Frenchies are not much hostile. That is why most people prefer them as ideal family pets. However, there can be many instances; you would notice that your Frenchie would display destructive behavior. It never happens overnight. There are lots of reasons due to which a friendly breed such as a French Bulldog, can become destructive.
When Frenchies are younger, they are more hostile as compared to their adulthood. If you do not give them obedience training, then such habits can be inculcated in their adulthood also. Also, this breed requires constant attention and love from their owners. If you neglect them and keep them alone for longer, especially when they are young, they can easily develop destructive habits.
Frenchies are extremely playful pets with full of energy. Due to this, regular workout and socializing are quintessential for them to release their energy appropriately. If your Frenchie would not be able to release his energy properly, then he would become destructive.
The Most Common Signs of Hyperactivity and Destructive Behavior in Pets
At times, most pet owners fail to identify the early signs of hostility in pets when they are small. It is important to identify those signs so that you can curb them at the earliest. The following are the most common signs that signify the hyperactive and destructive behavior of your Frenchie.
- Jumping up with full zeal whenever they get excited
- Chewing and biting aggressively during their teething phase
- Pulling at the leash roughly while walking or socializing
- Digging enthusiastically in the garden or backyard with full energy
- Pee or poop indoors despite the several warnings
- Crying when left unaccompanied for prolonged hours
- Running or playing aggressively in the house
Same like the kids, dogs are also hyperactive and often display destructive behavior when they are in the puppy stage. However, such kind of hostility can be easily curbed in pets if they are given proper training for the same along with plentiful of love, care, and attention.
French Bulldogs are not naturally aggressive pets. It is normal for them to be hyperactive and destructive at their early stages. They would become calmer as they step into their adulthood and maturity is bestowed upon them.

Is the American Ruling Class importing the African Way?
If you are beginning to feel that members of the American Ruling Class - the Democrats in power, the business oligarchs, the press as the mouthpieces of the Democrat Party, Big Academia, the Silicon Valley rulers of social media - are busy setting up a one-party state where the ballot box can now be stuffed with impunity, look to Africa where the Ruling Class doesn't have to worry about the poor serfs that live a life of poverty and oppression.
|Edgar Lungu - Zambia|
"We have to pay bribes here, it's the African way" they say.
Going deep into the belly of government circles in countries where the majority of citizens are desperately poor and discover how international business partners assist presidents, ministers, and governing party bureaucrats convert political power into personal wealth.
The story of corruption in Africa is not new: tens of millions of dollars missing from Kenya’s ministry of health; billions in mining exports never reaching government coffers in the DR Congo; and cabinet members in Nigeria using bribes received in exchange for lucrative government contracts to buy condos in New York and Paris. Corruption is so endemic in Africa that even presidents have publicly expressed their helplessness in fighting the vice.
Yet, a new transnational report shows the systemic nature in which African oligarchs break down existing governance structures in order to loot national wealth. The investigation, carried by the African Investigative Publishing Collective (AIPC) in partnership with Africa Uncensored and ZAM magazine, shows how clientelism and favoritism have badly impacted the state budgets and economies in seven African nations.
The Looting Machine Warlords, Ologarchs, Corporations Smugglers and the Theft of Africa's wealth.
As global demand for Africa’s resources rises, a handful of Africans are becoming legitimately rich but the vast majority, like the continent as a whole, is being fleeced. Outsiders tend to think of Africa as a great drain of philanthropy. But look more closely at the resource industry and the relationship between Africa and the rest of the world looks rather different. In 2010, fuel and mineral exports from Africa were worth 333 billion, more than seven times the value of the aid that went in the opposite direction. But who received the money? For every Frenchwoman who dies in childbirth, 100 die in Niger alone, the former French colony whose uranium fuels France’s nuclear reactors. In petro-states like Angola three-quarters of government revenue comes from oil. The government is not funded by the people, and as result it is not beholden to them. A score of African countries whose economies depend on resources are rentier states; their people are largely serfs. The resource curse is not merely some unfortunate economic phenomenon, the product of an intangible force. What is happening in Africa’s resource states is systematic looting. Like its victims, its beneficiaries have names.

I've been having a craving for this salad for a couple of weeks now. My plans are to start eating vegan only as of Monday, October 26, 2009, so Sunday night was my last opportunity to satisfy the meat craving for awhile.
I left the making of the salad too late. I was way too hungry when I started chopping up and frying the bacon and shallots together. I was literally shaking from low blood sugar so I didn't wait for the bacon to brown before I threw in the sliced pears and pecans. Normally I would let the bacon and shallots brown before adding in the pears and pecans.
After this mixture browned (mainly the bacon) a bit, I added a sprinkling of brown sugar and then threw in a couple of handfuls of watercress after having washed and cut off the ends. The watercress cooks down very quickly so don't let it go limp when you stir it in to the hot pan. Serve immediately after cooking and sprinkle blue cheese on top while the mixture is still piping hot.
I really enjoyed this salad. I don't know if I even made the recipe correctly, lol. It has been awhile since I've eaten this salad and some of my papers with recipes are still in boxes after the late summer move. I didn't bother to search for the recipe tonight due to the hunger I was experiencing. You can see that my photos are blurred due to the shakiness I was experiencing from low blood sugar levels. My shakes subsided after eating (and "no" the salad wasn't too sweet as I did not add very much brown sugar to it).
- sliced bacon (half package)
- diced (peeled) shallots (6-8)
- sliced pears (2)
- 8-10 pecans cut in half lengthwise
- couple tbsps. of brown sugar, or to taste
- couple handfuls of watercress rinsed and ends chopped off
- crumbled blue cheese for topping
Try the salad. I think you will love it as much as I do.
I will let you all know how my new regime goes. Keep me in your prayers.

London: Two of the world’s fastest growing economies—India and China—are grappling with slowdown amid persisting euro zone debt turmoil and faltering global growth, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said in a statement on Thursday.
OECD’s assessment comes on a day when Moody’s Analutics became the latest financial services firm to cut India’s growth projection. It now expects India to expand 5.5% this year amid turbulent global conditions, domestic policy mis-steps and poor monsoon.
OECD on Thursday said that composite leading indicators (CLIs) for June showed slowdowns in most non-major non-OECD nations including India. CLI indicates turning points in economic activities.
“In China, India and Russia, the CLIs continue to point to a slowdown,” OECD said in a statement.
India’s CLI, which has been falling since February, stood at 97.9 in June—a tad lower than 98 in May. China’s CLI remained at 99.3 in June as well as May.
However, in Brazil, the OECD data showed, there were signs of moderate pick-up in economic activities in June compared with the previous month. “The CLIs for Japan and the US show signs of a fading growth momentum... For the euro area, the CLIs continue to point to weak growth,” the statement noted.

Pet Sitter in Okotoks
I am a 21 year old with a BA Sociology & Biology currently working towards a BSc Zoology and eventually a degree in Vet Med. I have owned pets my entire life and currently own two birds, two cats, and a hedgehog - all cared for lovingly and to the highest standards of care - and am interested in taking care of YOUR pets if you are heading away or just need someone to foster them for a while. In the past, I have cared for or owned dogs, fish, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, and geckos, so I feel well prepared for any challenge. As well, I do research before deciding to care for or adopt a pet so that I can meet the highest possible standards of care and give the pets the best quality of life - my goal for pets is not just survival; I aim to help them thrive. I cannot take cats or dogs into my house due to my own cats, but I can care for caged animals in my home. I can drive to your home to care for larger animals daily (or smaller pets, if you would rather keep them at home) if you live in or around Okotoks, Black Diamond, or Turner Valley (and possibly High River). I would like to get to know your pets before accepting a job, so please message me if you are interested and we can see where to go from there! Take care.

Same Sex Divorce: Things You Need To Know
The Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges of 2015, which allowed same-sex marriages nationally, made it easier for many same-sex couples to divorce. Before the verdict, same-sex spouses who got married in one state couldn’t receive a divorce in another that didn’t recognize their marriage rights.
Prior to Obergefell, same-sex couples were allowed to get a divorce in the jurisdiction where the ceremony took place. However, some jurisdictions had residency requirements before a divorce attorney could process a union termination. This requirement caused complications, especially for same-sex couples who married in a different state from where they resided.
Before and following the Supreme Court’s ruling, same-sex divorce was fraught with difficulties. For those in a same-sex marriage who want a divorce attorney in Boynton Beach, Pyfrom & Reisler, P.A. can assist. Pyfrom & Reisler, P.A. specializes in family law practice and has knowledgeable professionals to help anyone seeking a divorce lawyer.
Defense of Marriage Act
Under the now-repealed Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA): Part 2, no jurisdiction was obligated to acknowledge same-sex weddings that occurred in another jurisdiction. That’s why a same-sex partner could be denied a separation, even if they met all the other requirements for obtaining a divorce through a divorce attorney.
It was common for states that did not recognize same-sex weddings to refuse to enforce same-sex separation judgments against people. Court orders were typically unenforceable over state borders if, for instance, one of the spouses relocated to a jurisdiction that didn’t honor same-sex unions.
However, states are obligated to recognize legitimate same-sex unions performed in other states due to the Obergefell ruling, which safeguards marriage rights at the national level.
Dissolution of Domestic Unions
Even after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision, some same-sex spouses may be in legal limbo if they break their commitment.
Although domestic partnerships and civil unions share many of the same legal protections as marriage, they may not be dissolved in all states by a divorce lawyer. In some states, couples who have entered into civil partnerships are treated the same as married couples under the law. Overall, state governments’ reactions to the dramatic changes in union law, such as the ability of civil marriage partners to divorce, remain unclear.
Issues with Same-Sex Divorce
After years of conflicting legislation and rulings, the federal government has finally addressed the issue. If you are a part of a same-sex couple who was lawfully engaged, you can likely file for divorce in every state you call home. However, if your divorce situation is exceptionally complex, you should research the legislation in your state.
The staff at Pyfrom & Reisler, P.A. is qualified to walk you through the divorce process, assist with the prerequisite documentation, and more. If you intend to terminate your same-sex marriage, Contact Pyfrom & Reisler, P.A. for a qualified divorce attorney in Boynton Beach.

We all know that the increase in natural stone consumption in the U.S. has been remarkable over the past few years. The use of stone products - particularly in a slab format - has been exploding, as homeowners are considering granite kitchen countertops to be a staple of their residential projects. However, rise in slab consumption - coupled with the increase in new companies dealing with slabs - has led to a major issue that our industry needs to face: SAFETY.
Park Industries' high-production Prestige CNC stoneworking center produces curved edgework and complete sink cut-outs with touch-screen simplicity, the company reports. The machine was engineered to be a fast, easy-to-use work center, utilizing Park's proven, easy-to-operate CNC controls.
The AlphaÂ® VSP 110 variable-speed wet polisher was designed to be the standard for wet polishing applications. As an option, the company's newest wet polisher comes with a step-down gear set to reduce spindle RPMs.
Specially created for the medium-small marble-shop, the Comandulli Penta edge polisher, available in North America from AGM, is a small-sized conveyor belt machine for straight edges, which assures high production with low energy consumption, the company reports.
When I was growing up, I remember reading a survey that definitively stated: â€œThe typical American family has two-and-a-half children.â€ Despite never having met a half-child, that number stuck in my mind. Recently, the market research department at BNP Media (Stone World's parent company) conducted a groundbreaking survey of stone fabricators to determine the most prevalent industry trends.
It is no secret that the Brazilian granite industry has grown tremendously over the course of the last decade. In the early 1990s, Brazilian granite suppliers began seriously marketing material to the American market, and exports of granite from Brazil to the U.S. reached a total of $19.5 million in 1994. Five years later, that total reached $42.9 million, and by 2004, a total of $267.9 million worth of Brazilian granite was exported to the U.S., placing Brazil a close second behind Italy in terms of granite exports to America.
No matter how many times I travel to Italy, it never gets old -- and not just because of the excellent food and wine I enjoy while I am there. As editor of Stone World Magazine, I am fortunate enough to travel to Italy at least two or three times each year, and every time I go, something new seems to be taking place in the stone industry.

Update (1700ET) : GlobeNewswire issued a written statement that "journalists and other readers should disregard the news release."
Dave Pleiss, vice president, investor and public relations for GlobeNewswire said in an email to The Verge that this has never happened to the company before.
“When GlobeNewswire became aware this morning that a fraudulent user account was used to issue an illegitimate press release we promptly withdrew the press release and issued a Notice to Disregard.”
The company has already put into place “enhanced authentication steps to prevent this isolated incident from occurring in the future,” Pleiss added, and said GlobeNewswire was working with authorities on “a full investigation, including into any criminal activity associated with this matter.”
GlobeNewswire distributes 200,000 press releases per year, according to its website, but Walmart usually uses Business Wire for its press releases.
* * *
Update (1345ET): Walmart has finally issued an official statement denying the fake press release's premise:
Walmart was the subject of a fake news release issued on Monday, Sept. 13, that falsely stated Walmart announced a partnership with Litecoin (LTC).
Walmart had no knowledge of the press release issued by GlobeNewswire, and it is incorrect.
Walmart has no relationship with Litecoin.
GlobeNewswire issued a notice across its service confirming that journalists and other readers should disregard the news release, "Walmart Announces Major Partnership With Litecoin (LTC)" issued September 13, 2021, over GlobeNewswire.
All further questions should be directed to GlobeNewswire.
* * *
Update (1005ET) : In an odd turn of events, many on social media are raising doubts about the legitimacy of this announcement.
The biggest red flag was that while William White is indeed Chief Market Officer of WalMart - the email address links to a site that is not WalMart's.
And finally, we note that Litecoin’s verified Twitter account deleted a tweet that linked to a press release announcing a partnership between Litecoin and Walmart.
The end results is Litecoin tumbling back to earth...
CNBC reports that a Walmart spokesperson confirmed the press release is not authentic.
T he company is trying to learn more about the news release, which the spokesperson said "isn't real."

Update (0935ET): In another indication of the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies, giant retailer WalMart has announced a partnership with Litecoin. The eCommerce giant intends to give its millions of shoppers across the world an opportunity to seamlessly make payments with cryptocurrencies.
"The momentum and excitement around the use of cryptocurrency are undeniable, and we are poised to make online shopping easy for our customers. As a leading eCommerce store, we are committed to bringing innovations to the online shopping experience.
By integrating Litecoin, we will enable shoppers to experience a very smooth checkout experience with near instant transaction confirmation, and near-zero fees regardless of where in the world they are.
We're very excited to be working together with the Litecoin Foundation, and further innovate our business.
Starting October 1st, all eCommerce stores will have implemented a 'Pay with Litecoin Option,'" said Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO.
Litecoin is spiking on the news....
Charlie Lee, Litecoin's creator and the CEO of Litecoin Foundation shared,
"LTC's super low fees and fast transaction times are perfect for a leading eCommerce store like Walmart. We are thrilled and extremely excited that our cryptocurrency is now supported by Walmart, opening up more opportunities for any merchants to accept Litecoin in the future."
Litecoin is similar to Bitcoin, in that it uses the same code as the latter, and shares many similarities. However, Litecoin is cheaper and faster than Bitcoin. Litecoin is also a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that facilitates cross-border transactions and enhances digital payment systems. Like Bitcoin, Litecoin has no central authority.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are also rising on the news as WMT's announcement signals a clear shift to broader acceptance of crypto...

As we detailed earlier, after a chaotic and choppy weekend, Bitcoin had slid back below the somewhat magical 'Maginot Line' of $45,000 amid a flurry of headlines.
As the deadline for South Korean crypto exchanges to meet new compliance requirements looms fast (all operators expected to submit requests for an official license with the Financial Services Commission no later than Sept. 24), failure to meet requirements is expected to wipe out tens of crypto exchange operators.
As CoinTelegraph reports, insiders reportedly expect that close to 40 of the country’s estimated 60 crypto operators will be forced to shut down.
The crux of their objection has been the obligation that all exchanges show evidence that they are operating using real-name accounts at South Korean banks.
The FSC has justified by arguing that there is a high demand from customers for more protection for their assets held at smaller crypto platforms. Yet South Korea’s banks have, for the most part, refused to engage in any risk assessment process for applicant exchanges, except for the country's top four trading platforms.
The new measures have been designed to curb Koreans’ enthusiasm for crypto trading amid concerns that retail investors, especially those from younger generations, are borrowing excessively in order to trade as they struggle with suppressed wages, a frozen job market and ever-rising real-estate prices.
Amid massive growth of the stablecoin market, CoinTelegraph reports that the United States Treasury Department has reportedly discussed potential regulation for private stablecoins.
The Treasury conducted several meetings last week to examine the risks of stablecoins for users, markets, or the financial system, as well as learn about their benefits and consider potential regulation, Reuters reported Sept 10.
“The Treasury Department is meeting with a broad range of stakeholders, including consumer advocates, members of Congress and market participants,” Treasury spokesman John Rizzo said.
The news comes shortly after U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren called the cryptocurrency industry the “new shadow bank,” suggesting that it’s “worth considering” banning U.S. banks from holding reserves to back private stablecoins.
On the positive side of the ledger, giant UK-based hedge fund Brevan Howard plans to "significantly expand" its cryptocurrency and digital assets, according to a new report from Reuters.
Chief Executive Aron Landy, who has been at Brevan's helm since its co-founder and long-time crypto backer Alan Howard stepped down in 2019, has stated that the firm has a "commitment to rapidly expanding its platform and offerings in cryptocurrencies and digital assets."
We also note that Coinbase is looking to raise $1.5 billion in a debut bond offering, according to a statement Monday.
This capital raise represents an opportunity to bolster our already-strong balance sheet with low-cost capital.
Coinbase intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include continued investments in product development, as well as potential investments in or acquisitions of other companies, products, or technologies that Coinbase may identify in the future.
MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor announced the purchase of 5,050 BTC for about $242.9 million at an average of $48,099 per coin.
In a Form 8-K filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission published on Monday, MicroStrategy stated that it has added 8,957 BTC to its corporate Bitcoin treasury in Q3 2021.
As a reminder, MicroStrategy sold the first ever junk bond to fund Bitcoin purchases in June. Its $500 million of bonds due in 2028 have risen since then to over 102 cents on the dollar, according to Trace pricing data.

On November 9, Israeli airstrikes hit Al-Nasr Medical Center in Gaza City, cutting off the neonatal intensive care unit’s oxygen supply. The attack forced staff to evacuate the next day, leaving babies that could not be transported alone in intensive care, according to Doctors Without Borders. On November 28 during the ceasefire, doctors were able to return and found five babies dead.
Gaza authorities report that more than 6,000 Palestinian children have been killed in Gaza since the Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7. That attack killed at least 33 children, according to Israeli authorities, and 40 children were taken hostage.
Israel’s response included bombardments that have repeatedly forced maternity wards and reproductive health clinics to shut down or relocate. Israel also cut electricity to Gaza and banned for more than a month the entry of fuel needed to run generators that powered hospital equipment like incubators, despite World Health Organization (WHO) warnings that newborns would die.
The Palestine Family Planning and Protection Association (PFPPA)’s only service delivery center in Gaza was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike on an adjacent building on October 8, executive director Ammal Awadallah told Human Rights Watch. Awadallah said midwives and healthcare workers in Gaza are “a lifeline for the estimated 180 women giving birth each day,” but attacks have forced them to provide care via telephone “when there is connectivity.”
Awadallah said a colleague was providing pre- and post-natal services in a shelter “after her house was demolished by the bombings,” while PFPPA’s social worker was “trying to provide support” from his relative’s home. The WHO reported 22 healthcare workers have been killed in “attacks on health care” in Gaza as of November 21.
Israeli military operations forced the maternity ward of Gaza’s main hospital, al-Shifa, to evacuate to Al-Helou International Hospital, originally a cancer facility. An Israeli shell later struck al-Helou, according to the WHO. Without electricity for incubators, five premature babies died at al-Shifa before survivors were evacuated on November 19, according to the United Nations. As of November 20, all evacuated babies were “fighting serious infections” and a third were “critically ill,” according to the WHO.
Under the ceasefire agreement, 36 Israeli children taken hostage have been reunited with their families. All civilians held hostage must be released; hostage-taking is a war crime. Israel has increased the fuel and humanitarian it allows to enter Gaza, but it’s not nearly enough. The Israeli government should immediately end unlawful attacks on medical facilities and its blockade of Gaza; the collective punishment of 2.2 million people is a war crime.

TAIPEI – Chinese-Canadian pop star Kris Wu has been detained by Beijing law enforcement on suspicion of rape, police introduced Saturday, following an accusation the previous member of the Korean boy band EXO lured youthful ladies into sexual relationships.
Wu, 30, earlier was accused by a teenager of obtaining intercourse with her even though she was drunk. Wu denied the accusation.
The teenager stated seven other females contacted her to say Wu seduced them with claims of jobs and other options. She stated some ended up under 18 but gave no indicator no matter whether they ended up more youthful than China’s age of consent of 14.
Wu has been “criminally detained” on suspicion of rape “in response to relevant information noted on the net” such as that he “repeatedly lured youthful women of all ages to have sexual relations,” the law enforcement assertion explained. It gave no other aspects.
The pop star experienced previously denied the accusations. “There was no ‘groupie sex’! There was no ‘underage’!” Wu wrote past month on his social media account. “If there had been this kind of detail, please every person chill out, I would put myself in jail!”
The information was trending as the no. 1 most searched topic on Weibo on Saturday evening, and some buyers on the net started out commenting on Wu’s social media account, telling him to “Get out of China!”
Wu is a Canadian citizen, according to the law enforcement assertion.
The formal paper of the Communist Bash, the People’s Each day, weighed in on the scenario, expressing in a quick viewpoint put up online that “Owning a foreign nationality is not a protective talisman, and no subject how major the identify is, there is no immunity.”
The teen publicized her accusations on social media and later in an interview with the world-wide-web portal NetEase. A working day soon after that job interview appeared, at minimum 10 brand names which includes Porsche and Louis Vuitton broke off endorsement and other bargains with Wu.
In accordance to the job interview, she considered she was assembly Wu for a occupation chance. As an alternative, his team who was existing forced her to consume. As a person who did not go to bars, she claimed her tolerance was small and she was drunk after two drinks. The next day, she woke up in Wu’s mattress. That early morning, he was variety to her and promised to choose treatment of her, she claimed.
The teenager mentioned that was the beginning of what she had thought was their relationship. This was the circumstance right up until March, when he stopped returning her messages.
At to start with, she claimed she felt sorry for herself. But soon after she figured out that there have been other women of all ages who had been dealt with similarly, she reported she felt there ended up other folks who had been even worse off.
“I never think this is just my possess private make a difference. You can even say that this is a challenge with the ambiance in China’s enjoyment circle,” she stated in the NetEase interview.
Wu reported that he experienced fulfilled the youthful female on Dec. 5, 2020, but “I didn’t force her to consume,” and “there was not this kind of ‘details’ she describes.”
“I did not count on my silence to really encourage these rumors, and I could not stand it!” Wu previously wrote. “There have been a ton of persons there that day who can bear witness.”
In an sudden twist to the tale, law enforcement mentioned last week they had arrested a guy who attempted to defraud the two parties. The person, surnamed Liu, pretended to be a target who’d experienced a related experience with Wu in buy to elicit own data from the young girl.
The teenager and Wu both of those explained they had requested authorities to investigate.
Saturday’s assertion failed to point out that scenario and gave no information about the status of that investigation.

Jonathan Siennicki Composes 11 star couples who got matching tattoos
Celebrities aren’t exactly known for their lasting relationships, but that has never stopped A-list couples from getting matching tattoos with their significant others.
(You know the saying. Relationships come and go. But relationship tattoos? Those are forever.)
Sometimes celebrity relationships work out. Sometimes they don’t. But at the very least, these celebrity “couples’ tattoos” serve as major ink-spiration.

EXCLUSIVE: Venice Film Festival hit Apples has scored more European distribution deals for Paris-based Alpha Violet.
Deals have closed with Lucky Red (Italy), Filmfreak (Netherlands), Fivia MCF (Ex-Yugoslavia), New Horizon (Poland) and Filmladen (Austria).
Andrea Occhipinti, CEO, Lucky Red told us: “We were very impressed by Apples. It’s a strong and original film. We are happy to have a new author with Lucky Red; Christos Nikou will certainly make his way onto the international scene.”
The Greek dramedy, which was six years in the making, has already sold to Curzon for the UK and Ireland, Madman for Australia and Feelgood for Greece. CAA is repping U.S.
Also playing today in Toronto’s TIFF Selects program today, the film is set amidst a worldwide pandemic that causes sudden amnesia and follows a middle-aged man who finds himself enrolled in a recovery program designed to help unclaimed patients build new identities.
Director Christos Nikou, who was snapped up by CAA earlier this summer, told us today that he was inspired by the allegorical novels Blindness and 1984, as well as his own personal loss, when developing the timely project: “I think the audience will recognise many elements in the film. Uncertainty, loneliness and how we have been moving towards another version of dystopia via technological developments which minimize human contact. I was trying to think about our selective memory and how we erase what hurts us. At the time, I was also trying to deal with the loss of my father, who himself used to eat 7-8 apples a day because they are good for the memory.”
Nikou, who cut his teeth working alongside Yorgos Lanthimos as an assistant director on Dogtooth and Richard Linklater on Before Midnight, instructed his lead actor Aris Servetalis to watch films from Jacques Tati and Jim Carrey to prepare for his lead role. They also discussed Buster Keaton. The research paid off.
The director confirmed to us that his next feature is being lined up as English-language project Fingernails, which he and his writing partner Stavros Raptis are working on alongside UK playwright Sam Steiner. He described the project to us as “similar in style to Apples, though not set in Greece, and more accessible/mainstream. We hope we can make it soon given the strong interest in it.”

How about some blues today? And if we are going there why not go with the finest?
Sadly taken from us at the age of 27 Robert Johnson is considered by many to be the creator of rock n roll, and by pretty much most of us the King of the Delta Blues.
Hellhound on my Trail
Maybe he did this one after his meeting with the devil at the crossroads.
According to legend, as a young black man living on a plantation in rural Mississippi, Robert Johnson was branded with a burning desire to become a great blues musician. He was "instructed" to take his guitar to a crossroad near Dockery Plantation at midnight. There he was met by a large black man (the Devil) who took the guitar and tuned it. The "Devil" played a few songs and then returned the guitar to Johnson, giving him mastery of the instrument. This was, in effect, a deal with the Devil mirroring the legend of Faust. In exchange for his soul, Robert Johnson was able to create the blues for which he became famous.
Sweet Home Chicago
Pretty much accepted as being Buddy Guy's signature tune, but it was written and first performed by Robert Johnson. This is a great video covering the early days in Chicago.
Come on in my Kitchen
A great song covered by a great many artists, makes sure to listen to the Allman Brothers version. But the original, as always, is best.
Me and the Devil Blues
Maybe he did have a thing about the devil. We'll never know.

Presented by AARP New Jersey
Good Friday morning!
Sen. Cory Booker had a good run in the presidential debates. That didn’t translate into support. And now he won’t be in this month’s debate (hosted by PBS NewsHour and POLITICO, by the way).
It became official yesterday, the deadline for Booker to hit the debate’s polling threshold. But there are no signs he’s going to drop out of the race yet.
And really, there’s no pressing need for him to quit now. New Jersey Democrats have already assured that he can run for two offices at once. He’s not facing a serious primary threat, and in the wake of Bob Hugin’s 2018 loss, New Jersey’s top tier of Republicans are looking at running for governor in 2021 rather than become the latest victim of a five-decade Senate dry spell.
Booker will still have a platform. I imagine he’ll find a way to play a role in the Senate impeachment trial. But it’s hard to see how Booker has any path to the Democratic nomination when he’s not even on the debate stage. Maybe this is the beginning of his vice-presidential campaign.

DAYS MURPHY HAS SPENT OUT OF STATE SINCE BECOMING DGA CHAIR: 2
WHERE’S MURPHY?: At Temple Beth-El in Jersey City with Sen. Menendez for an interfaith roundtable
AUTHORITY FIGURE SAYS OBVIOUS THING — Jersey City attack investigated as domestic terrorism, hate crime, by POLITICO’s Ryan Hutchins: The attack that left six people dead on Tuesday in Jersey City is officially being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism targeting both the Jewish community and police officers, top law enforcement officials confirmed Thursday. A day after declining to label the shootings a hate crime — a position that put him and Gov. Phil Murphy at odds with some elected officials — state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said the attack inside a kosher deli appeared to be just what many thought it to be. “The evidence points toward acts of hate,” Grewal, who is leading the investigation, said at a press conference in Jersey City. “I can confirm that we’re investigating this matter as potential acts of domestic terrorism fueled both by anti-Semitism and anti-law-enforcement beliefs.” Grewal confirmed that investigators found evidence showing both of the shooters — who killed one police officer and three civilians — had been followers of the Black Hebrew Israelites, a group known to expose hate for Jews and white people.
MCCARTHYISM — Senate committee backs bill eliminating religious exemptions for vaccinations by POLITICO’s Sam Sutton: After two hours of raucous testimony, the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee voted Thursday along party lines to advance a bill that would eliminate the religious exemption for childhood vaccinations. The bill, would significantly restrict parents’ ability to obtain a formal release to exempt their children from New Jersey's vaccination requirements. The committee backed the legislation, despite intense testimony from anti-vaccination and religious freedom activists as well as Assemblyman Gary Schaer (D-Passaic) who called the bill an “unnecessarily sweeping measure.”
CAPS FOR FAIL — Assembly committee clears bill to lift 2 percent property tax cap, by POLITICO’s Carly Sitrin: The Assembly Appropriations Committee on Thursday advanced a controversial measure to partially lift the 2 percent cap on school property tax increases. The bill championed by Senate President Steve Sweeney and sponsored by Assemblywoman Angela McKnight (D-Hudson), would affect around 40 school districts. A spokesperson for Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin told POLITICO he supports the bill and has posted it for a vote on Monday.
EXPUNGE-WORTHY? — Updated expungement bill clears Assembly Appropriations Committee, by Sam: The latest version of a criminal expungement bill that would offer a “clean slate” to those convicted of certain marijuana offenses was approved by the Assembly Appropriations Committee on Thursday. The legislation, NJ S4154 (18R), is a modified version of an previous measure that had been part of a marijuana legalization package earlier this year.
ABC APPARENTLY NOT EASY AS 1,2,3 — Misclassification bill may not get floor vote during lame duck session, by POLITICO’s Katherine Landergan: It’s unclear whether a controversial bill designed to ensure that employees aren’t misclassified will be posted for a full vote in the Legislature by the end of the lame duck session, according to two sources with knowledge of the measure. The bill, NJ S4204 (18R), does not appear on Monday’s board list for either the Assembly or Senate voting sessions and it’s yet to be determined whether it will be posted by Jan. 14 — the last day of the lame duck session — according to the sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity. One source said the issue is making sure lawmakers are educated on what the bill would accomplish.
—“Improperly classifying workers as independent contractors benefits no one,” by Steve Sweeney for The Asbury Park Press: “In New Jersey, we have also been a trailblazer in guarding against the exploitation of workers, ensuring their safety in the workplace and guaranteeing their rights as employees. That is the intent of Senate Bill 4204, the legislation I sponsored to protect employees from being intentionally misclassified as independent contractors by unscrupulous employers seeking to avoid complying with basic worker protections such as minimum wage and overtime laws and the right to maternity, paternity and family leave.”
IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS NJ WOULD BE OUT A WHOLE MASTRO — “Metro-North to hold back millions if NJ Transit doesn't fix Pascack Valley, Port Jervis service,” by Gannett’s Thomas Zambito and Colleen Wilson: “NJ Transit could lose nearly $3.4 million next year if Metro-North Railroad follows through with a promise to withhold payments to the New Jersey railroad until service improves on a commuter line that ferries riders to Secaucus and Hoboken, The Journal News/lohud has learned. Rockland County officials want the money to go to improving service for commuters who've had to endure years of canceled trains and lagging on-time performance on the Pascack Valley and Port Jervis lines. Metro-North seems to agree. Metro-North president Catherine Rinaldi told NJ Transit president Kevin Corbett last month she intends to withhold 15% of the commuter rail’s monthly payments to NJ Transit until it restores two express trains on the Pascack Valley Line, a key source of frustration among commuters. The line serves riders who commute into Manhattan from northern New Jersey and Rockland County.”
CLEARLY THIS WAS NOT THE CASE UNDER MURPHY’S PREDECESSOR — “Candidates beware: Property taxes are pushing Dems, Republicans and even independents to leave New Jersey,” by Regina Egea for The Star-Ledger: “The headline from our poll was that 44% of residents were making plans to leave New Jersey in the not so distant future. The desire to leave the Garden State was reflected most strongly among young residents (18-29) with almost 40% anticipating leaving the state within the next five years. At the other end of the spectrum, a third (33%) of those nearing retirement (50-64) plan to leave within the next five years . Across the political spectrum, the variation is rather modest, with N.J. independents being somewhat more likely to want to leave, but only by a third more … contrasted with the propensity of California Republicans being three times as likely to want to leave.”
VAN DONE — “Democratic Rep. Van Drew to vote against Trump impeachment, says others could join him,” by USA Today’s Christal Hayes: “Democratic Rep. Jeff Van Drew said Wednesday that he will vote against articles of impeachment that outline the case for President Trump's removal from office, becoming the first Democrat to publicly say he will not vote with his colleagues … Van Drew said that he did not think Trump's conduct was grounds for impeachment and that impeachment would only end up helping the president in 2020. ‘I don't see anything there worthy of actually taking a president out of office,’ he said. ‘I'm concerned about splitting our nation apart.’ He said he believed there were other mechanisms for removing a president from office. An election, he noted, could do this. Van Drew said one of his biggest concerns was emboldening Trump because an impeachment trial in the GOP-controlled Senate will likely not lead to his removal from office.”
A VOTE OF NORCONFIDENCE — “Sweeney declines to endorse Van Drew,” by New Jersey Globe’s Nikita Biryukov: “Senate President Steve Sweeney declined to endorse Rep. Jeff Van Drew for re-election, indicating that the congressman’s vote on articles of impeachment could earn or lose support from his longtime ally. ‘The congressman has a very important vote coming up, and we’re going to talk about it after that vote,’ Sweeney said. ‘I will base it on my own thoughts, but right now, that impeachment vote’s very important.’ Sweeney declined to clearly say whether his support — or lack thereof — for Van Drew hinged on which way the congressman goes in a vote on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump that could be held as early as next week.”
STUART LITTLE CHANCE — “Republican Senate contender Stuart Meissner: The InsiderNJ interview,” by InsiderNJ’s Fred Snowflack: “Meissner said running for two different offices at the same time highlights Booker’s insincerity and suggests he considers the Senate a 'consolation prize.' Meissner, a former New York prosecutor and now securities lawyer, is one of three Republicans who say they want to take on Booker. The others are Rik Mehta and Hirsh Singh. Whoever earns that right must confront some unpleasant history. Republicans have not elected a U.S. senator from New Jersey for almost 50 years, And just last year, Bob Hugin spent millions and millions of dollars and still lost rather handily to Bob Menendez, a man who had just survived a federal trial on corruption charges. After a jury failed to reach a verdict, the charges were dropped. Meissner obviously knows that. He agrees that Booker is without Menendez’ ethical woes, but he’s hardly giving him a pass. ‘He’s not sincere,’ he says of Booker. ‘I find him fake. Everything he says is simply to get elected.’”
REVERBERATIONS — “'It hit a raw nerve': Lakewood reacts to anti-Semitic shooting in Jersey City,” by The Asbury Park Press’ Gustavo Martínez Contreras: “Township residents woke up aghast at news that perpetrators of Tuesday's deadly Jersey City shootout may have targeted the Jewish Orthodox community there. Many also wondered what's next. ‘It hit a raw nerve as they say,’ Naftoli Mandelbaum, 23, a student at Beth Medrash Govoha, the yeshiva in the heart of Orthodox Jewish life here, told the Press as students rushed to class early Wednesday … For many in the largest Jewish Orthodox enclave in the Garden State, where hate crimes have been a steady occurrence, the writing on the wall is clear. ‘Anti-Semitism is on the rise and I don’t feel great, that’s for sure,’ Mandelbaum said.”
GLOBAL WARMING — New study on rising sea levels to influence strategies on combating climate change, by POLITICO’s Samantha Maldonado: Sea levels in New Jersey could rise by up to 1.1 feet by 2030, 2.1 feet by 2050 and 6.3 feet by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions rates are not reduced, according to a new study by Rutgers University. The study, commissioned by the state Department of Environmental Protection and released Thursday, projects how rising sea levels — a prime effect of climate change — will affect the state’s future, given scenarios that include different amounts of greenhouse gas emissions … A newly established Interagency Council on Climate Resilience, which is composed of 17 state agencies and met for the first time Thursday, will rely on the study’s findings as it comes up with a statewide climate resilience strategy by next September.
SALSA SHARK COMING TO NATIONAL ZOO — ‘Clerks’ added to National Film Registry, bringing N.J. stoners to Library of Congress,” by NJ Advance Media’s Amy Cuperinsky: “I’m not even supposed to be here today. But ‘Clerks’ just got added to the National Film Registry. So let’s raise a lasagna to Dante Hicks, Randal Graves and Kevin Smith, director of the 1994 classic that launched a New Jersey convenience store (and Smith himself) to stardom … Films selected are deemed ‘culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.’”

The Mexican government announced that it has begun exporting pork to Singapore with an initial shipment of 22 tons dispatched at the end of last month.
The operation "confirms the advance in the marketing of meat products of Mexican origin with countries in Asia," Mexico's agriculture department said in a statement.
With the shipment, Singapore joins countries like South Korea, China and Japan, "whose health authorities have already recognized the health status and the levels of harmlessness they achieve with Mexican products," the communique said.
The pork was shipped on board a cargo vessel from Ensenada, Baja California.
This year, there have been several advances for the Mexican pork industry with Asian countries, including the incorporation of Jalisco to the group of Mexican states authorized to sell their products to Japan after being deemed free of classic swine fever and the authorization granted by Chinese authorities to four Mexican meat processing plants.

I was busily writing away one evening this week, when I realised something surprising -
I hadn't actually had a proper, face to face conversation with anyone all day.
Sure, I'd chatted to a few people on the phone and sent some emails, but that was it. I was so taken aback I made myself get out of the house and go for a walk, just to bid a classical English "Good Evening!" to some fellow members of the human race.
(Maybe I was checking the world was, in fact, still there.)
On the walk, around my beloved River Exe, I took a photo which seemed to sum up what I was thinking -
Writing can be a lonely business.
It's deceptive to those who don't do it, as all they see are the book signings and talks and the literary festivals and summer schools, when writers and readers all gather around in a melee of pure sociability. And that's great, but the actual process of writing... it sure can be a solitary one.
Me, I sit in my study - the converted attic of the house - and type away, think a bit, sketch out some ideas, type away...
Don't get me wrong, I love it. I'm journeying far afar in my own imaginary world, meeting lots of people in the form of characters old and new, and talking to them, like you do.
But when you return to planet earth, whether it be for a coffee or to pop out for some shopping...
... you realise how isloated the writing life can often be.
How to cope? In a hideously old fashioned way -
Not by taking to Twitter, or some such, but by ringing a friend and heading out for a pint and a chat. It felt good to re-engage with the world, and besides -
Only by occasionally venturing out into that strange place called reality can you pick up more ideas and inspiration for your next piece of writing, however solitary it may be.
