Shebada Robbed in Florida!
Shebada Robbed in Florida!But robbery won’t affect performance this Saturday in “Bangarang”The police in Fort Lauderdale are still investigating the recent hotel break-in into the room of Jamaican actors Keith “Shebada” Ramsay and Monique Ellis. The actors, who were in Florida to perform their play “Bangarang,” reported the robbery this week. They had returned to their hotel, the Ramada Inn following their performance, and discovered personal documents and money missing, including their Jamaican passports.According to Mike Shaw of Sunshine Theatre (which produces the show in South Florida), the security camera at the hotel “showed a guy and a girl, Hispanic or white, going from room to room.”Shaw also confirmed that the Jamaican Consulate in Miami will be assisting Ramsay and Ellis in replacing their needed travel documents. He also said the incident will not have an impact on the next staging of the “Bangarang” play, which is scheduled for this Saturday, starting 8 p.m. at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center
SHOCKING REPORT SHOWS EXTENT OF FAILURES
copyright DG Council AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to FacebookFacebookFacebookShare to TwitterTwitterTwitterShare to LinkedInLinkedInLinkedInA shocking council report will show that private sector construction contractors failed to prioritise public safety when constructing public buildings. This has resulted in a number of fundamental flaws, including missing wall ties, being uncovered.Dumfries and Galloway Council will meet on Tuesday (4 July) where Members will receive the damning report on public safety across a number of council buildings. This important report is being presented to inform Members in relation to safety investigations being carried out at Council buildings, how the council has responded and providing assurances on the safety of buildings. Furthermore, the report will also provide details on construction flaws at DG One, issues relating to public safety and future options.Following the tragic events at Liberton High School in Edinburgh in 2014, incidents with Edinburgh School external walls collapsing in 2016 and the recent tragic fire in London, ensuring public safety has been prioritised across the country.This calls into question the safety of all public buildings constructed during a set period of time and requires them to be reviewed. The report will outline the actions that the council is undertaking to ensure the safety of our buildings and the safety of the public who would use our facilities.Council Leader, Elaine Murray, said “I have called this special meeting of Full Council to provide all Members are provided with important information on public and building safety issues. We need to be open and transparent about the state of our buildings.“Like everyone else will be, I am shocked at the details relating to the condition of DG One. It is beyond comprehension that a private sector contractor would willingly hand over a building to the council that was so fundamentally flawed. Public safety was not prioritised and instead, we have been subject to corners being cut so that profits could be maximised by public sector contractors.Depute Leader, Rob Davidson, said “I am appalled that such serious building safety practices seem to have been ignored. The extent and nature of the problems at DG One, which are similar to those that we have seen across the country, is staggering. We could not have anticipated that fundamental safety procedures had not been followed in the original construction and the level of defects and required works are unprecedented.“I consider any instances of non-compliance with building regulations completely unacceptable, in particular those in high risk area such as structural safety and fire protection. It is vital that everything is being done to deliver safe outcomes for the people who use or occupy our buildings.”

April DMC margin triggers large indemnity payments
A dramatic downturn in April’s U.S. average milk price has triggered the largest monthly indemnity payments in the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program’s history. Dave NatzkeEditorProgressive DairyEmail Dave Natzkedave@progressivepublish.com April DMC margin: $6.03 per cwtThe USDA released its latest Ag Prices report on May 29, including factors used to calculate DMC margins and payments. Based on USDA calculations, the April DMC margin is estimated at $6.03 per hundredweight (cwt), down $3.12 per cwt from March and triggering indemnity payments for those covered at every insurable margin of $6.50 or higher (Table 1).advertisementadvertisementIt’s the smallest milk income over feed cost margin since the DMC was created in 2019 and the smallest margin since June 2016 under the program’s predecessor, the Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy), which utilized different margin calculations and indemnity payment triggers.As a result, dairy operations that elected DMC Tier 1 margin coverage levels of $9.50, $9, $8.50, $8, $7.50, $7 and $6.50 and Tier 2 margin coverage levels at $8, $7.50, $7 and $6.50 will be issued payments. The USDA’s Farm Service Agency will begin processing payments on June 1.DMC payments will see a sequestration deduction of 5.9%.April milk price plummetsPressured by the COVID-19 pandemic’s disruption of the dairy supply chain and food service industry, the April 2020 U.S. average milk price fell $3.60 per cwt from March to $14.40 per cwt. The average was $3.30 per cwt less than April 2019 (Table 2).advertisementCompared to a month earlier, milk prices fell substantially in all major dairy states. Largest declines were in Iowa (-$5), Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin (all -$4.10 per cwt or more).Compared to a year earlier, prices were down $4 or more per cwt in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and New Mexico.The highest milk prices for April 2020 were in Florida ($19.70 per cwt), Oregon and Georgia ($17.60 and $17.40 per cwt, respectively); monthly lows were in New Mexico ($11.90 per cwt), Kansas and Michigan ($12.80 and $13 per cwt, respectively.Corn, soybean meal prices drop, but hay more costlyOverall, April feed costs were lower than March, thanks to declines in U.S. average prices for corn and soybean meal.The April 2020 U.S. average corn price was $3.29 per bushel, down 39 cents from the month before and the lowest since January 2018.advertisementSoybean meal averaged $295.39 per ton in April, down almost $17 per ton from March.The average price for a blend of premium and all alfalfa hay used in DMC calculation was $195 per ton, up $5 per ton from March and the highest average since July 2019.That yielded an average DMC total feed cost of $8.37 per cwt of milk sold, down 48 cents from March (Table 3) but nowhere near enough to offset the plummeting milk price.May payments even higherThe April DMC margin is likely just a preview to May calculations, which will be released by the USDA on June 30. Based on milk and feed futures prices at the close of trading on May 28, the DMC Decision Tool estimates margins are likely to drop below $5 per cwt in May, before moving back to about $8.50 per cwt in June. After that, the recent upswing in milk futures prices means DMC indemnity payments may not be triggered for July-December – but conditions change.
