= = = You Pay Your Money = = =
You Pay Your Money is a 1957 British crime drama film directed by Maclean Rogers and starring Hugh McDermott, Jane Hylton and Honor Blackman. The thriller was one of the Butcher's Film Service's 1950s B film genre.
On a visit to Belgium, married couple Bob (Hugh McDermott ) and Susie Westlake (Honor Blackman) become involved with wealthy financier, Steve Mordaunt (Ivan Samson), in the sale and transfer of a collection of rare books. In an attempted burglary at Mordaunt's home, his love interest, Mrs. Rosemary Delgado (Jane Hylton), is suspected. She was once romantically linked to a gangster and she leads the Westlakes in a search for Achemd's writings, a middle eastern 14th Century seer which has inspired an extreme political group, and thought to be in the collection of rare books that Mourdaunt now owns.
The Westlakes become embroiled in a struggle over the valuable Arabic manuscripts, and when Susie is kidnapped by extremists, Bob works as an assistant to Tom Cookson, a manuscript smuggler (Hugh Moxey) who is importing the rare texts the gang are seeking. The extremists demand Mourdaunt turn over his collection of rare books, and plot to incite a revolution across the Middle East but can the Westlakes prevent a serious international situation?
Principal photography on "You Pay Your Money" took place in the Nettlefold Studios, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England.
In a review of "You Pay Your Money", the "Radio Times" wrote, "The much maligned Butcher's Film Service holds an unenviable place in the history of British cinema. By sponsoring dozens of low-budget programmers, it enabled young talent on both sides of the camera to gain an industry foothold. Yet it mostly churned out dismal offerings such as this tale of kidnap and rare book smuggling, which is given only the merest modicum of respectability by the presence of Hugh McDermott and Honor Blackman."
A review of "You Pay Your Money" in "TV Guide", noted, "... the execution is top notch, but the witlessness of the story rankles."
= = = 2013 Ethiopian presidential election = = =
The presidential election held on 7 October 2013, was the fourth presidential election of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to elect the country's third president. Mulatu Teshome was elected by the parliament to a six-year term. Incumbent president Girma Wolde-Giorgis is barred from seeking re-election due to term limits.
As a parliamentary republic, most administrative power and the effective ability is vested in the prime minister and his government, rather than the president, leaving the president as primarily a figurehead executive. However, the president retains significant Reserve powers granted by the constitution.
A presidential candidate is required to be elected by a joint session of the upper house and lower house of the Ethiopian parliament, the Federal Parliamentary Assembly, the House of Federation and the House of People's Representatives, respectively.
Several persons have been the subject of speculation by various media sources as potential candidates in the election. The past two presidents, Negasso Gidada, and Girma Wolde-Giorgis, have hailed from the Oromo ethnic group, the country's largest, and thus it has been speculated that the ruling party, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front, will again nominate an Oromo candidate.

= = = Karl Suleman = = =
Karl Suleman was the director of KSE (Karl Suleman Enterprises) and all the companies within the Froggy Group.
He was part of the largest Ponzi scheme in Australian history which was associated with budget internet company Froggy, fronted by Suleman and funded with the help of $300 million raised from 20,000 investors.
Born in Iraq on 16 April 1961 Assyrian Born Suleman, was only two years old when his father Emanuel, an air force captain, died in a plane crash. His mother Najiba, widowed at the age of 19, brought him to Australia in 1976 to live with his uncle. After leaving school Suleman worked as a storeman and packer. In 1989 he bought a 7-Eleven store, and a second one in the early 1990s. It was also about that time that he saw there
was money to be made in the retrieval of shopping trolleys, in early 2000s suleman launched his internet company Froggy.
On 30 July 2002, Suleman the co founder of froggy internet was declared bankrupt, ASIC alleged that around 11 December 2000, Suleman used a false bank statement, which he gave to a finance broker, with the intention of obtaining finance in the amount of $355,000 to purchase a Ferrari Spyder 355.
between 1 March 2001 and 16 October 2001, on three separate occasions, Suleman made false statements to finance brokers with the intention of obtaining finance to purchase a $3.3 million Princess Motor yacht and a $360,000 Ferrari Modena.
Suleman enterprises were placed into voluntary administration on 12 November 2001, soon after ASIC commenced proceedings before the NSW Supreme Court to close down an unregistered managed investment scheme operated by the company. KSE and several related companies within the Froggy Group were placed into liquidation.
On 22 July 2002, Suleman was ordered to pay $17.4 million in damages to KSE.
Suleman had tapped into Sydney's Assyrian community, many of whom had remortgaged their homes.
In April 2004, Suleman was jailed for 21 months, with a 12-month non-parole period, for four fraud offences.
Two days shy of being released from a 21-month jail term in 2005 the corporate regulator struck again, laying 26 new charges.
Karl Suleman Enterprizes fleeced 2062 investors who committed $130.7 million between them – by inviting them to invest in a trolley collection business that promised investors returns of 100 per cent a year.
But instead of their money going into that business, the money was used to fund Suleman's extravagant lifestyle.
Suleman and his wife Vivienne bought properties, luxury cars, boats and planes, sponsored charity events and gave lavish gifts as well as dinners for former United States presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton.
Some of the money was used to service a $13 million loan taken out to finance a range of IT and mobile phone ventures under the Froggy Group banner.
Documents filed with the court by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission showed that investors, mostly from Sydney's Assyrian community, were induced to put between $50,000 and $150,000 into the trolley business on the promise that they would receive fortnightly returns of between $4000 and $25,000.
While investors received some fortnightly payments as promised, the money earned by the trolley collection business fell well short of being sufficient to sustain the promised payments.
The company's liquidators said in their report that between July 2000 and November 2001 the business made a net profit of $275,096 but was paying out $2 million a week to investors seeking high returns.
Suleman started the trolley business in 1993, providing trolley collections from supermarkets stretching from Cairns to Adelaide. Supermarkets paid Suleman an agreed fee out of which he paid subcontractors to do the work.
The District Court heard 15 people invested more than $3 million in Suleman's supermarket trolley collection business in 2000 and 2001.
Thirteen of them lost a total of more than $800,000.
The founder of the Froggy Group – was sentenced to 7 and a half years jail after pleading guilty to 26 charges.
The judge found Suleman knew the income from his business was not enough to repay the investors.
He said it was serious white collar crime, and that Suleman had breached the trust of naive investors so he could live a lifestyle far beyond his legitimate income.
Two years after being released from jail on 20 June 2013, 52-year-old Suleman suffered a heart attack at his home in Horningsea Park Sydney.
