  • Ukraine bans exports of wheat, oats and other food staples

    Ukraine bans exports of wheat, oats and other food staples
    Mar 31 2022
    Ukraine's government has banned the export of wheat, oats and other staples that are crucial for global food supplies as authorities try to ensure they can feed people during Russia's intensifying war. New rules on agricultural exports introduced this week also prohibit the export of millet, buckwheat, sugar, live cattle, and meat and other “byproducts” from cattle, according to a government announcement. The export ban is needed to prevent a “humanitarian crisis in Ukraine,” stabilize the market and “meet the needs of the population in critical food products,” Roman Leshchenko, Ukraine's minister of agrarian and food policy, said in a statement posted on the government website and his Facebook page. It's the latest sign that the Russia's invasion of Ukraine threatens the food supply and livelihoods of people in Europe, Africa and Asia who rely on the farmlands of the Black Sea region — known as the “breadbasket of the world.” Russia and Ukraine together supply nearly a third of the world’s wheat and barley exports, which have soared in price since the invasion. The products they send are made into bread, noodles and animal feed around the world, and any shortages could create food insecurity in places like Egypt and Lebanon. The export ban will likely reduce global food supplies just when prices are at their highest level since 2011. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

  • Typo sends drivers to Trump 2024 merch site

    Typo sends drivers to Trump 2024 merch site
    Mar 30 2022
    An apparent typo was sending motorists in South Florida seeking to resolve their traffic citations to a website selling 2024 merchandise for former President Donald Trump, officials said. Miami Beach police had been handing out the erroneous flyers until the second week of February, police spokesperson Ernesto Rodriguez told the Miami Herald on Feb. 14. He did not know how long they had been in circulation. “We’re aware of this typographical error now,” Rodriguez said. “We put out a notice to officers to discontinue using them.” The flyer explained how to resolve minor traffic tickets online by visiting the Miami-Dade County Clerk of Courts website. The problem was the web address printed in the flyer left out a hyphen, prompting drivers to visit the wrong website — a site that sells Trump 2024 hats and flags. Court administrators said Miami Beach appears to be the only agency with the web address typo. The original flyer sent to Miami-Dade police in May 2020 included the correct address, but Miami Beach produced its own version of the notices and the error was inserted at some point during the printing process.

  • Croc freed from tire stuck on neck for 6 years

    Croc freed from tire stuck on neck for 6 years
    Mar 29 2022
    A wild crocodile with a motorcycle tire stuck around its neck for six years has finally been freed by an Indonesian bird catcher in a tireless effort that wildlife conservation officials hailed as a milestone Feb. 9. The 4.5-meter saltwater female crocodile has become an icon to the people in Palu, the capital city of Central Sulawesi. The beast was seen on the city’s river with the tire around its neck getting tighter, running the risk of choking her. Conservation officials have been racing to rescue the crocodile since residents spotted the reptile in 2016. In early January, 35-year-old bird catcher and trader Tili, who recently moved to the city, heard about the famous crocodile from his neighbors and determined to rescue the reptile after he saw her frequently sunbathing at a nearby estuary. He strung ropes of various sizes into a trap tied to a tree near the river, and laid chickens, ducks and birds as bait. After three weeks of waiting and several failed attempts, the crocodile finally fell into the trap Feb. 7. With the help of his friends, Tili pulled the crocodile ashore and sawed through the tire.
