Gendarmerie

The gendarmerie means either the place where gendarmes are stationed or a military armed force. The gendarmerie is part of the army. In places where gendarmes are deployed outside, they also have a provost function.

Name
The term gendarme comes from the old medieval French Gens d'armes. In English, it can be translated as men-at-arms. In Italy, they are called carabinieri. In first use, a troop of horsemen equipped with a carbine.

Functions
Like the police, it has a role in road safety and surveillance of military places. The gendarmerie also provides mountain rescue capability. In conflict zones, the gendarmerie's function is the restoration of law and order as a provost unit. In addition to the police, the gendarmerie has military equipments such as armored transport.

French influence

The use of military units for civilian police is common to many eras and cultures. Belgium and Austria had gendarmeries (Royal Guard), but they merged with civilian police. Many former French colonies, particularly in Africa, have kept gendarmeries. The common symbol of the gendarmerie is the inflamed grenade. This symbol was used first by the French gendarmerie.

Argentine food

Argentine food is a mix of foods from various cultures. There are Mediterranean influences (Italian, Spanish) and indigenous peoples. 

There are many agricultural products that are  available in the country. Beef eating has averaged 100 kg (220 lbs) per capita, consumption averaged 67.7 kg (149 lbs) in 2007. Beyond asado (the Argentine barbecue), no other dish matches the national identity. The country's vast area, and cultural diversity, have led to a local cuisine of various dishes.

Argentine people have a reputation for their love of eating. Social gatherings are commonly centered on sharing a meal. Invitations to have dinner at home is generally viewed as a symbol of friendship, warmth, and integration. Sunday family lunch is considered the most significant meal of the week, whose highlights often include asado or pasta.

Argentine restaurants include a great variety of cuisines, prices, and flavors. Large cities tend to host everything from high-end international cuisine, to bodegones (inexpensive traditional hidden taverns), less stylish restaurants, and bars and canteens offering a range of dishes at affordable prices.

Cory Booker 2020 presidential campaign

The Cory Booker 2020 presidential campaign was the presidential campaign of Cory Booker. He announced on February 1, 2019 that he would run for President of the United States. The president gave a quick response. Before this, he had already been widely speculated to be in the process of preparing to run for President. There is a big office for the campaign.

Background
In 2018, Politico identified him as part of a movement along with Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders, given he voted "to stop [the president's] nominees for administration jobs"; all of the Senators in this group were considered potential 2020 presidential contenders at this point in time. That year and in early 2019, he began travelling early in the campaign schedule.

After failing to qualify for the sixth debate and poor polling numbers, Booker ended his campaign on January 13, 2020.

Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign

Bernie Sanders announced his 2020 United States presidential campaign via email on February 19, 2019. He made the announcement on Vermont Public Radio. This is his second run for the Democratic nomination, following his campaign in the 2016 primaries. He also announced his campaign in an email to his supporters on the same day. 

He entered into the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries as one of the front-runner candidates, as compared to his prior 2016 underdog campaign. His 2020 race has more advantages as his policy ideas accepted into the Democratic mainstream.

In a crowded field of primary candidates, Sanders both leads in polling and has the largest fan base than his competition. Policies from his last campaign, such as single-payer healthcare and tuition-free public colleges, had since entered mainstream Democratic thought.

In October 2019, the Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign gained the support of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Some of the main issues the campaign supports are:

 Medicare for All - Guaranteed healthcare to all people as a right.

 Green New Deal - Invest in renewable energy and create new jobs.

 College for All - Make colleges and universities tuition free, and cancel all student debt.

 Get Corporate Money Out of Politics - Such as by banning political donations from federal lobbyists and corporations.

 A Responsible, Comprehensive Foreign Policy - Implement a foreign policy which focuses on democracy, human rights, diplomacy and peace, and economic fairness.

 Jobs for All - enact a federal jobs guarantee.

On April 8, 2020 one day after the Wisconsin primary, Sanders ended his campaign after failing to beat Biden in many primary contests after Super Tuesday. On April 13, Sanders formally endorsed Biden for the Democratic nomination.

Rachel Pollack

Rachel Grace Pollack (born August 17, 1945) is an American science fiction author, comic book writer, and expert on tarot. Pollack is involved in the women's spirituality movement.

Tarot reading
Pollack has written a book about Salvador Dali's Tarot deck. Pollack's work 78 Degrees of Wisdom on Tarot reading is used by many Tarot readers.

Comics
Pollack is best known for her run of issues 64–87 on the comic book Doom Patrol, on DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, with Grant Morrison. In the comic, Pollack wrote about topics such as menstruation, sexual identity, and transsexuality that are unusual in comics.

Fiction
Three of Pollack's novels have won or been nominated for major awards in the science fiction and fantasy field: Unquenchable Fire won the 1989 Arthur C. Clarke Award; Godmother Night won the 1997 World Fantasy Award, was shortlisted for the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, and was nominated for a Lambda Award; Temporary Agency was nominated for the 1995 Nebula Award and the Mythopoeic Award, and shortlisted for the Tiptree.

Influences
Pollack is Jewish, and has frequently written about the Kabbalah.

Pollack is a transsexual woman and has written often about transgender issues. In Doom Patrol she introduced Coagula, a transsexual character. She has also written several essays on being transsexual. She attacked the idea that it is a "sickness."  She writes that it is a passion and helps with greater understanding of others.

A Secret Woman features a police detective who is transgender and Jewish. The detective utters the prayer, "Blessed art thou oh G-d who made me not a woman. Double blessed is Doctor Green who has." Rachel Pollack created the characters known as 'the bandage people' for her Doom Patrol run. The bandage people are 'sexually remaindered spirits' who died in sexual accidents. The initials srs came from the medical term 'sex reassignment surgery'.  Rachel wrote the essay "The Transsexual Book of The Dead" for the anthology Phallus Palace. This article is concerning trans men.

Teaching
For nearly 20 years Pollack has been teaching seminars with Tarot author Mary K. Greer at the Omega Institute, in Rhinebeck, New York.
