A young woman in her 20s, driving a silver SUV, got more than burritos when she went through the drive through at the Taco Bell on Brown Street, near the University of Dayton campus and Miami Valley Hospital.

An employee said she was working the drive-through window and mistakenly gave the customer the bank deposit. The restaurant manager explained it was store policy to put the bank bag...

Another joke of Russian government
Posted by admin / Under Deposit Taking Co Operative
Recently Russian authorities have remembered of all those people who lost their money kept in the Savings Bank of the RF in the year of 1991. That is the time when state-controlled prices were released according to the new economical policy of the country. The cost of products rose enormously within several months, the ruble as a national currency decreased in value with the same speed. People wanted to withdraw their deposits made earlier, but the Savings Bank was prohibited to pay out funds, while money got cheaper with every day passed. The situation was aggravated by the fact that...

Whole Russian budget on foreign banks’ accounts
Posted by admin / Under Deposit Taking Co Operative
While Russian financiers are proudly reporting about capital influx to the country, their foreign colleagues are calculating outflow of funds from Russia. It has been reported recently that Russians have placed $219.6bn on banks’ deposits abroad, which considerably exceeds deposits with domestic banks as well as the annual budget of the RF. If so, who are the people placing a quarter of Russian GDP on outlandish accounts? Experts say, many accounts are opened by particular firms operating only to disguise the richest Russians. Funds are rapidly leaving the country: the amount of Russian capital in foreign banks, compared to the...

Scientists discover frozen methane gas deposit off California
Posted by admin / Under Deposit Taking Co Operative
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Scientists have discovered an undersea deposit of frozen methane just off the Southern California coast, but whether it can be harnessed as a potential energy source is unknown. The size of the deposit is unknown but the researchers believe it to be substantial. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in tapping methane hydrates, ice-like crystals that form under seabeds and Arctic permafrost. Scientists estimate that the methane trapped in previously known frozen reservoirs around the globe could power the world for centuries. But finding the technology to mine such deposits has proved elusive....

Why Russia seeks £17bn from under the bed
Posted by admin / Under Deposit Taking Co Operative
RUSSIANS, still fearful of hyperinflation, state-sponsored confiscation of assets and the frequent collapse of banks, have up to $30 billion (£17.5 billion) stuffed under their mattresses. According to figures from the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), despite a tripling of retail deposits in the past three years to $72.2 billion, only 30 million people, one fifth of the country’s population, have a bank account. The undeposited money, which a leading economist estimated would have been as much as $45 billion five years ago, based on the new CBR figures, is typically held in American dollars. Russians prefer dollars to...

CHINA WANTS THE URANIUM CAKE By Alan Boyd * The Asia Times Infosearch: José Cadenas Research Dept. La Nueva Cuba September 27, 2005 SYDNEY - Through the darkest days of the Cold War, the world's largest uranium reserves stayed mostly untouched in their underground deposits, in a silent warning of the dangers of nuclear proliferation. But a different kind of fright factor has dredged up a new debate over what to do with thousands of tons of Australian uranium. If the deposits are now opened to all-comers, the biggest slice could go to countries that were on the other side...

Posted by admin / Under Deposit Taking Co Operative
Al-Fuqra Holy Warriors of Terrorism Introduction For over ten years, a secretive Black Muslim sect in the United States and Canada has sought to carry out a self-declared policy of "jihad," or holy war, by taking violent action against its perceived enemies, generally other minorities or other Muslims with whom they disagree.
