This document summarizes the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on global food security and poverty. It notes that social distancing measures have disrupted international transport and trade, lowering incomes and demand. Data shows increasing self-reported stress levels and reliance on savings in Ethiopia. Estimates indicate the pandemic could increase the global number of extremely poor people by over 100 million by 2022. Policies are needed to strengthen social safety nets, keep food supply chains open, and assess the crisis's effects on competition.

Disciplining Domestic Support in the context of WTO MC12David Laborde
The upcoming WTO Ministerial in late November will provide yet another opportunity to address and reform agricultural domestic support. The domestic support pillar has been at the heart of the agricultural negotiations since they began in 2000, but it has proven challenging to achieve consensus on how to advance reforms. In fact, domestic support levels remain high and have risen in recent years.
This presentation introduces a recent report by IFPRI researchers that suggests that new disciplines could both reduce distortions and provide significant protection in the event of a subsidy war by reducing "leakage" in domestic support disciplines.

Policing in a democracy
Introduction
Discuss how public safety is organized in the U.S.
Differentiate between Federal, State, and Local law enforcement.
Describe some challenges to U.S. law enforcement agencies
Public Safety Organization
Extremely complex and expensive undertaking
U.S. approach to law enforcement is unique
Federalist Structure-no national police force.
Law enforcement is primarily the responsibility of local governments (local control)
Public Safety Organization
There are approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S. today.
Main Points:
LE in the U.S. is diverse and fragmented
LE in the U.S. is predominantly local
Many employment opportunities at different levels
Federal Law Enforcement
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
U.S. Marshals Service
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Firearms (ATF)
Federal Law Enforcement
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Customs and Border Protection
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Secret Service
TSA
FEMA
Federal Law Enforcement
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Internal Revenue Service
Executive Office for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crime
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
Federal Law Enforcement
Department of the Interior
National Park Service
Fish and Wildlife
U.S. Park Police
Bureau of Indian Affairs
State Law Enforcement
State Law Enforcement
50 States-Each State decides how to operate their law enforcement apparatus
Some are centralized, others are decentralized.
Lets look at New York State
State Law Enforcement
New York State Law Enforcement
NYS Police (Troopers)
NYS Park Police
NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
State Law Enforcement
Local Law Enforcement
County Sheriff
County Police
City Police
Town Police
Village Police
Local Police
COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT
Patrolled by a sheriff’s department
Duties of a county sheriff’s office vary
In larger counties there is often a county police department (e.g. Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, etc.)
Issues Affecting Police
Diversity
Resources-most police departments in the U.S. are very small
Budgets
Drug Interdiction
Lack of back-up for small jurisdictions
Anti-Terrorism
Immigration enforcement
Accountability
Training
Recruitment
Responding to emotionally disturbed individuals
International Policing
Interpol
International Criminal Police Organization
Worldwide organization established for the development of cooperation among nations regarding common police problems
Police officials of any member country may initiate a request for assistance on a case that extends beyond their country’s jurisdiction.

As markets grow from local to global, food supply chains become complex distribution systems and pose the challenge of safeguarding our food supply. Food fraud is an emerging global problem with wide range of economic, social, health, and environmental impacts. It is committed when food is placed on the market with the intention of deceiving the customer, for financial gain. There are essentially two main types of food fraud the sale of food that is potentially harmful, and the deliberate mislabelling of food. The goal of this paper is to present the general understanding of food fraud concept by the food industry at large, not just within the United States but globally. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J.

Effect of Covid-19 Pandemic among Rice Retailers in Nueva EcijaIJAEMSJORNAL
This research studied the effect of the COVID 19 Pandemic on selected rice retailers in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The researchers made use of guided survey questionnaires and phone calls to reach out to the 58 respondents of the study. The researchers found out that: Majority of the rice sellers considered themselves as greatly affected by COVID 19 Pandemic. Their diverse explanations were due to (a) the scheduling or selecting of those allowed to travel to the market, and (b) limiting kilos per person to serve the full town. Most of them stated that their sales decline by 50 percent at the time of COVID. Their financial issues were on collection rental payments and on wages of staff. Almost all of the rice retailers believe that their firm will survive even in these hard times. Regarding government aid, the majority of them indicated that they are not supported by the government while the remaining respondents claimed that they received help from the government and that the aid was given through the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).

As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
