If in tomato crops the whitefly is controlled by the parasitic wasp Encarsia formosa and besides pests like the silver Y moth or the golden masked owl occur, Trichogramma may be used in addition to Bacillus thuringiensis preparations. When controlling owlet moths in herbs and vegetables, Trichogramma parasitic wasps have the additional advantage that no residues or leaf spots are caused that even with biological preparations cannot always be excluded. In tropical greenhouses or zoological gardens, usually the use of chemical agents is not possible because of the animals and insects living there but also because of the visitors.
In greenhouses there are generally warm and humid climatic conditions - perfect not only for the growth of plants but also for many pests! This also includes harmful moths. Trichogramma parasitic wasps may be used to control them.
Visitors, animals and insects, long opening hours, open waters in display greenhouses - all these are factors that strongly limit or even make impossible the use of chemical plant protection products, also of biologically effective ones. The use of egg parasites to control the harmful moths is a good alternative here, especially since several other beneficial insects are already used here for control.
For the successful control it is important to know the existing species. You are welcome to send us pictures or the pests found (moth, caterpillar, pupa), alive or dead, for analysis. Securely pack the samples in boxes or fix them with adhesive tape on paper. We will check as soon as possible what kind of pest it is.
Monitoring with pheromone traps
By means of species-specific pheromone traps it is possible to catch male moths but also to determine a date for the use of Trichogramma parasitic wasps.
Trichogramma collection
With more than 30 species and about 200 strains from different locations and from different pest eggs, we have one of the biggest collection of Trichogramma-species worldwide. For the determination and maintenance of this breed collection we realize a molecular genetic identification of species (ITS-2 PCR), as the microscopic beneficial insects (about 0.4 mm) are difficult to determine with the microscope. This family is worldwide the best studied group of beneficial insects because it can already be used against the eggs of the lepidopteran pests and it works faster than any other control agent.
We are therefore able to quickly test appropriate Trichogramma-species when new lepidopteran pests occur.
We also support university research with this extensive living collection of Trichogramma, including studies on the basic research in the biology and ecology of Trichogramma. Our partners include Freie Universität Berlin, the universities in Bremen, Stuttgart-Hohenheim, Freiburg, Halle or also international partners in DK-Kopenhagen, NL-Wageningen, ES-Almeria, the University of Cairo or colleagues in the Middle East.
Apart from the practical use, research and further development of the procedure are important to us. We are partner in various research projects both in plant protection and stored product protection. In cooperation with the Julius Kühn Institute, the DLR, but also the Fördergemeinschaft Ökologischer Obstbau e.V. (Föko) important further developments have been driven forth.
Tropical greenhouse
Lepidopteran pests in vegetable cultivation have already been controlled for decades with Trichogramma parasitic wasps. These lepidopteran pests are also found in the cultivation of ornamental plants or in the display gardens under glass. The species occurring in the tropical greenhouse differ, however, according to plant community and operation. The climatic conditions are often similar so that Trichogramma is also increasingly used here. Some pests appear more frequently now like the European pepper moth Duponchelia fovealis and in the last years increasingly also the tomato looper Chrysodeixis chalcites.
Especially display gardens or zoological gardens with a lot of visitors or zoo animals benefit from the biological pest management as the use of beneficial insects can take place without residues and disturbances during operation. As with the use in horticultural greenhouses, Trichogramma parasitic wasps complete the established range of beneficial insects in the biological pest control.
Newly imported or introduced lepidopteran pests increasingly occur. In our laboratory we test their possible control with Trichogramma and develop appropriate control concepts. If necessary, it is also possible to use a mixture of different Trichogramma parasitic wasps against the different damaging moths occurring in the tropical greenhouses.
Trichogramma parasitic wasps
The use of Trichogramma is one of the oldest biological control methods in Europe. Already in the early 1970s, egg parasites were spread on the first corn acreages in order to control the European corn borer. The roots of our company also lay in the early stage of the biological control of the European corn borer in the 1980s.
Over the years the biological control was extended to codling moths and plum fruit moths, as well as to various pests in the greenhouse growing of vegetables or ornamental plants and in the meantime to lepidopteran pests in tropical greenhouses. About 15 years ago, the use of Trichogramma in the stored products protection was developed together with a partner.
Target pests for Trichogramma are the Indian meal moth (food moth), the common clothes moth and the casemaking clothes moth that can be effectively controlled by the use of beneficial insects. Regularly new damaging moths occur. We test the possibility to control them by Trichogramma and develop appropriate control concepts.
Interaction Trichogramma parasitic wasp and target pest
The only 0.3 to 0.4 mm small Trichogramma parasitic wasps are natural antagonists of numerous lepidopteran pests. The tiny hymenopterans parasitize pest eggs, that is, they occupy them with their own eggs. The pest egg is eaten up while a little beneficial insect develops inside. After about 10 days, a young parasitic wasp hatches from the killed moth egg and looks for further moth eggs.
The cycle repeats as long as there are pest eggs. Naturally occurring populations are not sufficient for a successful control. A seasonal settlement is also only possible in a few cases. Therefore, the beneficial insects are bred en masse and targetedly released every year during the oviposition of the target pest.
In Germany at the moment 10 naturally occurring Trichogramma species are known. Of these we breed 4-5 species in large quantities and use them commercially. There are about 150 known Trichogramma species worldwide from which about 20 species are used for biological pest control.
The Trichogramma parasitic wasps may also be used against pests like
- Bee moths in bee colonies and bumblebee boxes for the pollination in greenhouse growing
Application systems TrichoKarte and TrichoKugel
TrichoKarte and TrichoKugel have proven to be optimal application systems. They contain parasitic wasps in up to 10 different stages of life, in order to hatch in a period of two to three weeks depending on species and target pest.
Expertise and long-term experience
The team of AMW has many years of experience in the breeding of Trichogramma. Through the own development of new mass breeding systems and mechanical manufacturing techniques, today we are able to supply large quantities within a very short time.
Besides the mass breeding, in our laboratories we maintain a collection of more than 200 strains of 30 different Trichogramma species that amongst others come from outdoors baiting and collected pest eggs. Interesting breeding lines are checked by us in extensive laboratory tests and field trials in terms of their appropriateness for the control of damaging moths. In this way suitable antagonists of cabbage moth, codling moth etc. could already be determined.
The molecular biological identification of Trichogramma parasitic wasps
For the quality control of Trichogramma, criteria like number, lifetime, number of offspring, host acceptance and host preference are evaluated.
The morphological determination of the only 0.4 mm small Trichogramma parasitic wasps that are used against damaging moths in plants and also in the stored product protection is very difficult, because a preparation of the male genital apparatus must be carried out for it.
Due to species-specific host and habitat preferences of the individual Trichogramma species and the related suitability to control a specific pest, the taxonomic determination of the Trichogramma is indispensable.
In-house examination by PCR
The molecular biological examination by PCR is a possibility to reliably identify the different Trichogramma species. We regularly examine the Trichogramma species in our laboratory for different quality parameters and thus optimize the effectiveness for the control.
The beautiful pictures and movies of Trichogramma are the result of a cooperation of Mister Prof. Urs Wyss, University of Kiel and Bernd Wührer for the short movie on the Biology of Trichogramma parasitic wasps.
Monitoring, important for the successful control
The first important step for a successful control of moths in greenhouse growing is the so called "monitoring", the catching of the harmful moths with pheromone traps (or light traps) to determine the degree of infestation.
By means of species-specific pheromone traps that bear the attractant of virgin female moths in replaceable dispensers, it can be determined if and which moths are being active. As the traps do not catch female moths and only a part of the existing male moths, this is a mere measure to monitor the moth flight and to determine the dates of control. If male moths fly around, then the egg laying females are also around.
Distinguish the moths species with pheromone traps!
There are pheromones for many different harmful moths now that fly around in greenhouses. If a new pest appears that is difficult to identify, we would be pleased to assist you with the determination, as a successful control depends on it. The biology, development times and the knowledge about preferred host plants are important informations when deciding on the best control strategy.
The use of pheromone traps is easy to handle. The pheromone traps, usually they are so-called delta-traps, are simply opened to a roof, set up or hung and after equipping them with the pheromone bait they are ready for use. The attractant should be replaced regularly with a fresh dispenser. Per room only one trap should be used so that the moths can orientate themselves to the scent. If there are too many traps, this leads to a disorientation of the males, in the fragrance they cannot localize the trap anymore. The selection of the location of the trap is also important: Fresh air is often less disturbing than the windless corner in the greenhouse in which the pheromone-cloud stands still locally limited.
The right use of the trap is important because the activities of the pest should be evaluated. A wrong location or interfering pheromone dispenser may easily lead to misinterpretations and therefore also endanger the success of the Trichogramma use.
Control and document the catches of the traps!
The hung traps have to be controlled regularly to register the start of the moths flight - also "zero" is important, the time before the moths flight starts. Trichogramma is an egg parasite and has to be released when the moths fly and lay their eggs.
It also makes sense to regularly record the catches of the trap in a data sheet or calendar in order to obtain a flight status. With the data it is possible to determine if the control has worked. Even after a control the traps should kept in use in order to detect a new infestation in time.
Combinable with the use of parasitic wasps
The pheromones last up to half a year, but can lose their full effectiveness, depending on environmental conditions, already before this. The attractants for moths are completely nontoxic and are also of no interest for the Trichogramma parasitic wasps. The parasitic wasps orientate themselves by the smell of the laid eggs and the traces that the female moths leave when landing and laying eggs.

I recently completed my degree in Biomedical Science with a first class, and as I must say no better foundation and preparation for a rigorous three-year degree than what I received from the IB Diploma Programme at Greensprings School.
The programme prepared me for the academical life in the university, as the course work, essay writing, workload, and teaching style of the IB Diploma are similar to that of the university.
The diploma also made me a better team player and increased my ability to work under pressure and manage my time effectively. Furthermore, I am now self-motivated, and all the skills I picked up during the programme greatly helped me go through the challenging times in the university.
In retrospect, the Greensprings IB Diploma gave me the platform to realise my potential and enabled me to correlate experiences in the classroom to real-life situations.

Here is what our parents are saying about the IB Diploma programme:
Our son had been schooling in Canada for more than four years, and we needed to transfer him to a top-rated IB school in Lagos. As expected, he strongly objected, and we were concerned about how to manage it.
A friend had referred us to Greensprings School Lekki, and to our great surprise, after the facility tour, our son's resistance completely crumbled; he fell in love with the school. He made some important friends on that first visit, including two senior IB students, a teacher, as well as the IB school principal.
Since joining the school, he has adapted very fast and is doing very well academically. The mix of programs and the facilities appear to exercise all his faculties. He speaks glowingly of the sports facilities, the leadership training and also the CAS program, which has opened his eyes to the plight of society's less privileged.
For my wife and me, it is a prayer answered. Thanks to the management of Greensprings School Lekki for the talented teachers, amazing facilities, and naturally beautiful campus.
O. Ogunbanwo
The IB programme was one of the options open to us when our son completed his IGCSE exams, and I am glad we opted for it. Taking three subjects at a high level and three at lower level gives him the option of flexibility in changing from a profession he has made his mind upon to another one that can be accommodated within the six subjects he is studying.
The first thing I noticed at the IB school was the staff and their warm welcome. I thank the IB principal and IB coordinator for their patience in answering all my questions – and I must say I always ask lots of questions.
We were taken on a tour of the IB boarding house, and it was very good – the common room, the wifi, everywhere. I don't mind spending a few nights there myself.
Our son has been in the IB programme for about two weeks now, and I saw him a few days ago and I saw changes. He has matured in that short period of time and is getting more confident and independent. I didn't see the young boy I dropped off two weeks ago – I saw a mature young man.
He was telling me the other day that he went for CAS, athletics and dance lessons for a show coming up, and I was surprised since he didn't do all that before.
This IB programme is making him an all-round student, not only focusing on academics but also on the other activities. As the IB principal told us at the induction that, "It's not only about academics and getting the A's; the student must also be active in extracurricular activities, which most university and colleges abroad also look at in assessing the individual."
Although our son had seven A's in IGCSE, he was not that much involved in other activities except composing music and writing lyrics. However, now in the Greensprings IB school in Lagos, he is involved with lots of other extracurricular activities. Without any doubt, I am glad I took this option and will advise the same for any parent.

Daily Fishing and Outdoor Report
Friday, July 27, 2012: The front passed with virtually nothing to show for it. Considering all the Facebook hoopla – dozens of various weather maps showing the progress of massive storms -- even I was waiting for the rafters to rock. In Ship Bottom, nothing rocked whatsoever – including my rain gauge, which registered merely a trace this a.m. – though some nearby areas got a bit of a drenching with a second system actually only slightly related to the first line of stormage.
The ocean is adjusting very nicely to the west winds this a.m., which will die down even further as he day goes on. While some brownish patches are still pressed in close to the beach, that cleaner water is about to prevail. The panfishing could pickup again as the surf drop further over the next day or two.
If you want to try that super fun light-gear panfishing, every shop out there has organized rigs, bait and such. They can get you up and running in nothing flat – even offering hot times and places.
I'm told that many community bayside fishing docks have had decent fishing action – where usually it's only crabbing.
At noon, the lifeguard radio frequency warned of the potential of bluefish in the surf, based on heavy dolphin activity in the surf. While the odds of being bluefish bit aren't real high, it has happended on beaches all up and down the coats, though mainly in Florida. It has to be fully recognized that these are snappers. How do I know? Read just this one news report from Deerfield Beach.
Note the last line. "A tourist from Poland, a couple from Montreal and two local youths were bitten on their arms and legs when the hungry fish with razor-sharp teeth swam into shallow water during a feeding frenzy, fire rescue officials said. No one was seriously injured or required hospitalization."
I see you smiling at my point. You get bitten by a bluefish over even a few pounds and you're not going to be laughingly refusing medical treatment.
FLUKES AND WEAKS: I'm so immersed in the WMIT – go to www.thewmit.com -- that I'm barely able to field other reports, or to surf the web for fishing info. However, I got a fun report from a neighbor who absolutely mugged fluke just west of Barnegat Inlet – and from the bank much less. He was jigging GULP! and taking flattie after flattie in the shallows, including a spattering of keepers.
I bring that action up because I got one of those grumped out reports yesterday, while down at the club (Beach Haven Marlin and Tuna). One of the club elders lambasted my reports that fluking has been good to excellent. His words "There are no fluke out there." And I actually can't argue his point because I have no idea where "out there" is. His site-specific fluking area just might be a holdout, unwilling to accept the truly massive biomass of summer flounder in our region. Also, he works waters a bit south. I get four reports from Barnegat Bay to every one report out of Little Egg (down to Great Bay.) Maybe the hot hooking is just north of wherever he's fishing -- though I see plenty of reports from Margaret at Jingles proving a goodly number of south end folks are hauling in things that sure resemble nice fluke.
I'm sure I'll also get disclaimers about the current wet and wild weakfishing. Still, I'm sticking fully with my assessment of scalding hotness on the sparkler front. What's cool about the scald is the number of respectable-sized weaks now mixing in with massive numbers of spikes.
Of equal coolness is the widespreadedness of the arriving weakfish biomass – which, I now believe is a combination of two "waves," based on that recent showing of larger fish. Those lookers weren't around when things turned on a couple/few weeks back.
Those bigger weakies also enhance the chance of a spawn, though a couple experts question whether or not these late-arriving weakfish are on a spawning run. Still, folks keeping their one weakfish say they have found ripe fish.
As for targeting weakies, it's a slam-dunk if chumming grass shrimp, particularly in east Barnegat Bay. However, drifting on a jig can also nab larger weaks.
As it has always been, finding quieter waters to chum or drift -- and minimizing boat bottom knocks -- greatly helps the weakfishing cause. What's more, the night bite for weaks has already begun. This little-attended action can be found on just about any bayside street end where there is slightly deeper water and (in-particular) bright lights, be it backyard spotlights or overhead municipal lighting. I prefer good-old pickerel spinners (silver), though small, slow-retrieve surface plugs or very lightly weighed plasticized jigheads work well.

Fair and Square: Free school meals for all children in poverty
Posted: 13 April 2012
More than a million children in poverty will miss out on free school meals under changes currently being considered by the Government.
Children from families who receive certain benefits can have a healthy school meal free of charge. This is worth around £400 a year per child, which can make a huge difference to struggling families.
Our Fair and Square campaign succeeded in guaranteeing all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 a free meal regardless of their family income. But many children older than those in Year 2 are still missing out, and we believe every child in poverty should get a free school meal.
The Government is now consulting on changes to free school meals for children in Year 3 and above.
The Government's proposed changes are part of the rollout of Universal Credit, the new benefit intended to simplify the welfare system and make it easier for people to move into work.
Until now, all children from families on Universal Credit have been able to receive free school meals, whatever their age. But under the new proposals, only families earning less than £7,400 a year would be eligible - a huge step backwards.
We're worried because if the Government's proposals go ahead, one million children in poverty who are aged 7-8 and above will miss out on free school meals.
By introducing an income threshold, the Government is undermining the fundamental principle of Universal Credit to 'make work pay'. If a parent takes on additional work that pushes the family income over this threshold, they will actually be worse off financially as they will no longer be eligible for free school meals, worth around £400 a year per child. This is not a progressive step forward for the welfare system, and risks putting off families from taking on extra work.
The considerable cash value of free school meals provides a crucial lifeline for families in poverty. Research also shows that eating a nutritious meal at lunchtime has important health and educational benefits for children, and can improve their diet, concentration and classroom behaviour.
We want the Government to ensure every child in poverty is guaranteed at least one nutritious meal a day. Help us convince them by responding to the consultation.

The Bob: re|Defined
By: Dana Weimer
The Bob Cut: Defined
A bob cut or bob is a short haircut for women (and occasionally men) in which the hair is typically cut straight around the head at about the level of the jaw-level, often with a fringe or "bangs") at the front.
Thank you, Wikipedia. Hello fashionistas! The Bob. My most favorite haircut, not only because I have had this in numerous versions since 2006, but because it looks great on EVERYONE. Living in the Midwest puts us in this fuzzy gray zone of fashion & trends. Indianapolis, the Crossroads of America, is the heart and soul of The Bob, as far as I'm concerned.
The picture collage that I attached is of print ads that were clogging my InStyle magazine [March 2014 with Nicole Kidman as the cover girl]. Inspiration at its finest. What truly caught my eye was not the labels, but the hairstyles. From Jennifer Aniston's surprise hair chop during the Friends era to her current [grown out] long bob for her Living Proof line, to Vera Wang's model's with super short razor-cut bobs; the options seem to be endless when creating the perfect length to suite your own lifestyle and matching your bob to make life flow a little bit easier. Look at Tory Burch, posing as a model for her own perfume – beachy waves & a bob. What a great look for 2014!
Your lifestyle helps to create the look you are hoping for. If you are a nurse or a medical professional who needs to have your hair pulled back, chances are you are opting for a longer style that allows for a ponytail, or an extreme cut that would practically be maintenance-free. If you are a leader in the office world, you can easily have a modified bob hitting at your chin or slightly above your shoulder blades with no fuss at all. Yoga poses & downward dogging it all day? Ponytail length bob. You can do it!
Jennifer Lawrence wowed us with her ultra short 'do at the Oscar Awards, now America's newest sweetheart is growing her locks, which will ultimately fall into a modern bob. It's never too late to jump on the bandwagon, trust me. The best part of this style is that the trend is eternal. You'll never look back at your {Facebook} #tbt pictures and laugh at your bob. At your perm from 1988, yes, that will result in a laugh!Kudos to one of our downtown stylist, Kelly Iaria, who recently jumped ship and cut her long blonde locks; now matching Julianne Hough's Safe Haven look [pictured below]:
Blondes may have more fun, but they certainly do show off that the fun exists within any hair style! The point is, once again – this is thee look… for today, tomorrow, and well, at least until the end of the year! If anything, give those tresses a break, sometimes a fresh cut is exactly what you need.
MDG salon|studio is here to save the day, one cut at a time. Hop on the bandwagon today and save yourself from bad hair days before they happen! Maybe just a quick trim, or a blowout will help too. It's worth a shot. Don't fear the change – those print ad models certainly didn't lose any business and you won't either. I promise.
Be bold. Be beautiful.

Architect Byoung Soo Cho's Earth House is quite possibly one of the classiest dugouts ever built. Set amid peaceful woods and rice fields an hour east of Seoul, Korea, the subterranean structure consists of six tiny unadorned rooms (kitchen, library, two bedrooms, and a bathroom) and a 23-by-23-foot courtyard. Cho describes the house, dedicated to Korean poet Dong-joo Yoon, as a place for self-reflection. He says the concept goes back to his 1991 graduate thesis at Harvard, where he began exploring Taoist ideas about negative and positive space, and the question of just how much (or little) space we need in order to live comfortably. Sixteen years and several unsuccessful attempts at selling an underground house later, Cho finally decided to build one for himself. Earth House was completed in February 2009 on a lot down the road from Cho's more conventional vacation home, the square-shaped Concrete Box House. He currently uses the Earth House for weekend gatherings and stargazing. Photo by Wooseop Hwang.
Edgeland House, built on a cliff-top lot in Austin by architect Thomas Bercy for lawyer and writer Chris Brown, is topped by a living roof to help it blend into the landscape. The concrete, steel, and glass house is divided into two distinct public and private halves. Photo by Dave Mead.
This home is Cumbria's First Earth-Sheltered House built in an old quarry site and finished in 2003 after 6 months of construction. It doesn't need a heating system and being underground means that the house disappears into the landscape "making it unobtrusive visually as well as ecologically."

Only too well I know how distractible I am when my mood is not topnotch. To illustrate, let me tell you the saga of my attempt to get a glass of water to wash down my lunch of almonds and fresh fruit.
1. Into the kitchen I go. The devil kitty (Ms Moustiers Ste Marie, "don't mess with me", toothless, 21 years old and chief Demand-0-Cat) yowls for food; I fed her half a dish of chicken about 15 minutes ago.
2. Searching on the sink for the rinsed catfood spoon, I discover it has been left dirty, so I wash it.
3. I have to find a new container of catfood in the pantry.
4. Feed kitty.
5. Notice that last nights debris has not been sorted, parceled and sent bin-wards.
6. Wrap two lots of discards & recyclables.
7. Take rubbish to bins, which have been left in the drive from yesterdays garbage collection run (just rubbish & metal/glass/paper recyclables, not green recyclables).
8. Go into garage to dispose of green waste.
9. Of course I noticed while out the front that I had parked the car on a tiny sliver of garden hose sticking out from the garden bed. Must shift it.
10. Into the house, fetching the car keys & promptly yowled at by THAT cat again.
11. Move car- get out, lock it. Still parked it on another piece of hose.
12. Two more car moves, including out onto the street; at last nothing is caught under the wheels.
13. Re-inflate squashed hose by running high-power jet through it for 30 seconds.
14. Back inside, feed kitty again.
15. Get clean glass, fill with tap water.
16. Sit down again,

Here's what the Orbs CCG rules say:
"Once per turn, you may discard any card for one energy of its color. This is called converting the card into energy. Multicolored cards are converted into one generic (gray) energy.
You must pay a card's energy cost in order to play it. Fortunately, generic (gray) energy costs can be paid with any type of energy, not just generic energy. Colored energy costs, however, requires colored energy.
For example, if you have 1 green and 1 red energy, you can play a card that costs 1 green and 1 generic energy, but not a card that costs 2 green energy.
Your energy regenerates at the beginning of each turn. For example, if during each your first two turns you discarded a yellow card for energy, then you will have two yellow energy at the beginning of your third turn (and all subsequent turns). As the game progresses, you'll be able to afford more powerful cards.

Does BrokerCheck Do More Harm Than Good? (Financial Advisor IQ) Many broker-dealers have voiced the opinion that because even unfounded customer or employer complaints can be included in BrokerCheck records, they can indeed be more harmful than helpful. But Finra believes BrokerCheck's potential to save investors from unscrupulous broker-dealers more than makes up for any broker-dealer having a false claim listed in their record.
Moves Quickly To Shut Down Fake Pre-IPO Share
Scam (SEC Litigation Release No. 24144)
The SEC filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California allleging that Keenan Gracey with the fraudulent sale of purported pre-IPO shares in Perspecta, Inc., a new company that will be formed as a result of the merger of three other companies.

FINRA Stretches Definition Of Participating In A Private Securities Transaction (BrokeAndBroker.com Blog) What's a lot? What's reasonable? How many times is frequently? When is enough, enough? What does it mean to participate? These and other mysteries of the Universe keep BrokeAndBroker.com publisher Bill Singer awake through the night and into the early morning. You are able to sleep soundly because of the unselfish efforts of folks like Bill who man the ramparts of philosophical thought and aimless rumination. In today's blog, Bill has tanked up on coffee after spending staying awake to ponder whether hand delivering a check rises to the level of participating in a private securities transaction. Bill is also wondering how his New York Mets started off with 11 wins and 1 loss and now have a record of 20 wins and 19 losses.
FINRA Department of Enforcement, Complainant, vs Francisco Jose Ortiz, Respondent (Order Accepting Offer of Settlement, FINRA Office of Hearing Officers, May 14, 2018) (the "Order"). In accordance with the terms of the Order, FINRA imposed a $5,000 fine and a one-month suspension from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. Francisco Jose Ortiz allegedly processed a customer wire transfer based on email instructions despite knowing that an unknown imposter had compromised the customer's email account and that the wire request was fraudulent. In order to process the wire transfer, Ortiz falsely represented on a Wells Fargo Advisors LLC wire transfer request form that the request had been orally confirmed with the customer causing WFA's books and records to be inaccurate.

SEC Charges Owner of Alternative Investment Firm in Belize Airport Financing Scam (SEC Press Release 2018-89) In a Complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, the SEC alleged that between 2014 and 2017, Brent Borland sold over $21 million of promissory notes to dozens of investors, promising that the funds would be used as bridge financing for development of an international airport in Placencia, Belize, and that the investments would be protected by pledges of real estate as collateral. The notes were sold through Borland Capital Group LLC, which purports to be active in "alternative investment," and Belize Infrastructure Fund I, LLC, which purports to be in the business of construction finance.

SEC Charges Brokerage Firms and AML Officer With Anti-Money Laundering Violations (SEC Press Release 2018-87) The SEC settled charges against broker-dealers Chardan Capital Markets LLC and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Financial Services LLC (ICBCFS) for failing to report suspicious sales of billions of penny stock shares.From October 2013 to June 2014, Chardan, an introducing broker, allegedly liquidated over 12.5 billion penny stock shares for seven of its customers and ICBCFS cleared the transactions. The SEC alleged that Chardan failed to file any SARs notwithstanding red flags, and that ICBCFS similarly failed to file any SARs despite ultimately prohibiting trading in penny stocks by some of the seven customers. The SEC's orders found that Chardan and ICBCFS violated the Exchange Act and an SEC financial recordkeeping and reporting rule and that Chardan's anti-money laundering (AML) officer, Jerard Basmagy, aided and abetted and caused the firm's violations. Also, ICBCFS was found to have failed to produce documents promptly to SEC staff. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, the parties agreed to settlements requiring Chardan to pay a $1 million penalty, ICBCFS to pay $860,000, and Basmagy to pay $15,000. Both firms consented to censures and, along with Basmagy, to cease and desist from similar violations in the future. Basmagy also agreed to industry and penny stock bars for a minimum of three years.

The Disqualified Stalking Felon Stockbroker, The Texting Stockbroker, The Missouri Waltz, And FINRA (BrokeAndBroker.com Blog) A statutorily disqualified individual sells her book of business and it is assigned to a duly registered stockbroker. So far, so good. The stockbroker's firm tells him it's okay to communicate with the disqualified broker in order to arrange for the smooth and orderly transfer of clients but, beyond that handing off of her biz to you, you draw a thick, red line and don't cross it. She's disqualified. You're not. You don't discuss any private customer information with her. So . . . what could possibly go wrong with that scenario?

Firm Ordered to Stop Fraudulent Crypto
Offering (TSSB
Press Release)
The Texas State Securities Board entered an Emergency Cease and Desist Order to stop Wind Wide Coin Inc. and three sales agents from fraudulently offering investments in a cryptocurrency trading program that uses an "automatic trading bot" and purports to combine " "no risk" and extraordinarily high returns. Wind Wide Coin's marketing extends to a rotating sequence of celebrity and political endorsements. TSSB alleges that the company's website has featured a photograph of Jennifer Anniston, but identified her as "Kate Jennifer," an investor and a photograph of Prince Charles, who was identified as "Mark Robert," another investor who provided a testimonial. The testimonial was then attributed verbatim to a "Johnson Smith," supposedly a U.K. investor. The office address provided by Wind Wide Coin is for a location at which no building of any kind exists.

Court Shuts Down FINRA Over Expungement
Confirmation(BrokeAndBroker.com Blog)
You ever go to a meeting where it seemed that everyone showed up on time, they started the presentations at the designated hour, and then, just as things began to roll, some idiot executive walks in late? Can someone please get me a cup of coffee, two sugars, a little milk, and, if there's a warm cheese danish left, I'll take that, otherwise, I'll take anything with cinnamon. Oh, where's the nearest outlet, I need to plug in my phone. Thanks -- please, don't allow me to interrupt anything. Did we already cover Item One in the agenda? You did? Sorry but could you just catch me up, briefly. Did we place orders for lunch yet? Yeah, there's always that idiot. Speaking of idiots arriving late and messing things up for everyone, consider a recent FINRA expungement arbitration in which the industry Claimant wins but FINRA decides to intervene by way of a partial objection in court to the confirmation of the award.

Securities Fraud, Money Laundering, And Perjury
Offenses (DOJ Press
When we talk about a long and checkered career, it is hard to imagine a better example than that of Edward Durante a/k/a "Ted Wise," a/k/a "Efran Eisenberg," a/k/a "Yulia," a/k/a "Ed Simmons."

Recidivist Defendant Pleads Guilty To Defrauding A Native American Tribe And Various Investors Through The Fraudulent Issuance And Sale Of More Than $60 Million Of Tribal Bonds (DOJ Press Release) I'm guessing the folks at the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York are up to the letter "R" in their "Improve Your Word Power in 30 Days" book because this is the second press release today to have a headline beginning with "Recidivist." On September 28, 2016, Gary Hirst was convicted following a jury trial for manipulating the market for shares of NYSE-listed Gerova Financial Group, Ltd. and he was sentenced to 78 months in prison.

No Show No Way No How Public Customer FINRA Arbitration (BrokeAndBroker.com Blog) You know how you plan for months for a big party and then you send out invitations, and some folks don't get back with a "yes" or a "no" and others ask if they can bring a guest and then, the day of the party, there's a hurricane, so virtually no one can get to your house and even if they did, the caterer couldn't make it, and, of course, a few folks who told you that they couldn't come show up because they lost power to their house and figured since you were having a party and you had asked them that they may as well show up given how the storm had forced them out of their home? Yeah, I know, we've all been through that, right? Anyway, so . . . we got this FINRA arbitration in which a customer is seeking some $108,000 in losses and hired a lawyer but then his lawyer withdrew and a lawyer for some respondents withdrew and some of the respondents either got dismissed or filed for bankruptcy or got expelled by FINRA and then the public customer asks FINRA for help and, well, you've heard that whole thing before, right?

FINRA Arbitrator Recommends Multiple Expungements For Veteran Stockbroker (BrokeAndBroker.com Blog) It seems that each week there are increasing numbers of arbitrations filed with FINRA seeking expungement of various matters from a registered rep's industry record. Must be bringing in a nice chunk of change to the self-regulatory-organization via filing fees, membership fees, hearing fees, and the like. Of course, given the explosion of such cases, we should also be asking if these matters truly belong before an arbitration panel and not within the regulatory framework. Why is it that so many disclosures are being deemed non-disclosable? Why are so many allegations being questioned and rejected? Should there be more scrutiny of customer allegations and employer claims before they are carved into a industry employee's record? Should we be concerned that too much is being removed from the public record? Is anyone asking either of those questions?
Tossing Fish and Catching Capital: Remarks at the Washington State Bar Association (Speech by SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce) This is why I'm often puzzled when investor protection is presented as somehow in opposition to capital formation. The SEC's tripartite mission-to facilitate capital formation, protect investors, and maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets-works as a cohesive whole. No one mandate is in tension with another, and focusing on one doesn't mean sacrificing another. While investor protection means deterring and punishing truly bad actors, it also means not erecting barriers that prevent investors from accessing investment. Facilitating capital formation means, in part, facilitating investor opportunity.
Dominican National Pleads Guilty to International E-Mail Impersonation and Fraud Scam (DOJ Press Release) Federal prosecutors alleged that from at least June 2015 through November 2017, Leonel Alexis Valerio Santana conspired with others to defraud at least 95 victims by pretending to be employees of the Securities and Exchange Commission and demanding in excess of $1.3 million from victims.

Health effects of caring for and about parents and spouses
Informal caregiving is a potentially attractive alternative to formal care but may entail health costs for the caregiver. We examine the mental and physical health impact of providing informal care and disentangle the caregiving effect – the effect of caring for someone in need – from the family effect – the effect of caring about someone in need. We account for the main sources of endogeneity in the caregiving decision using Arellano-Bond difference GMM models. We use four waves (2010–2013) of panel data from the Dutch Study on Transitions in Employment, Ability and Motivation (STREAM). We find that caregiving harms the mental health of caregivers; the effect is more prominent for spousal caregivers. On top of this, a negative health shock of a family member also has a direct negative effect on mental health, providing evidence of a family effect. Our findings thus highlight that the total effect of having a sick relative may be underestimated when the family effect is not adequately accounted for. As the caregiving effect differs substantially between various types of caregivers, policies to cushion these effects should specifically target those subgroups of caregivers that carry the largest burden of informal caregiving.
