“It will be alright. The gods provide for us, even as they take from us. You will find meaning in this even as it brings you pain.”

The man sniffled, rubbing at his eyes with the sleeve of his uniform before stiffening as though someone had run an electric current through him as he realized how close he was to Aisha’s naked flesh. He practically fell over himself as he stood up, trying to put space between himself and the naked woman before him. He knocked over the chair in the process, stumbling across it as he repeated what sounded like the most emphatic apologies imaginable – to the uproarious amusement of the other warriors in the room. They whooped and cat-called the man who’d been held by Aishaand Aisha and returning the man’s discarded book and pendant to him. There was a brief exchange between them in which Siler seemed to convey at least some of why Aisha was disrobed to the other man. It was at least enough that he stopped trying to force clothing upon her, though he made no attempt to cover his disapproval for her state of disrobe.

He held out a meaty paw, speaking with a long drawl that seemed to lean each word up against the next as he spoke. There was a measured lethargy to his manner of speaking, he used words sparingly but luxuriated in those few he actually chose to employ. She felt an immediate rush of power as she shook the man’s hand, energy rippling across


the leather-bound tome to start reading from it. Aisha, cupped her hands around the man’s fist, speaking her own prayers of guidance to the dead. Her tattoos, still empowered from the blood of the crustaceans, glowed green and sent sparks of static light across Asiha’s body. Her power intermingled with the ambient energies of faith projected by the priest, bolts of static arcing from her many piercings to the dangling icon of the Tau’ri’s patron god. The spiritually conductive icon cast bright light across the room, empowered by their shared prayer to guide any remaining shades to judgement.

The man’s drawl took on a fevered tone as his icon glowed with divine light, his eyes bulging with astonishment as he spoke prayer after prayer after prayer. Once their prayershad finished Aisha wrapped the still glowing icon’s chain around the man’s clenched fist, resting the icon atop his quivering knuckles and kissing it gently as she bowed to him once again. The man clutched his book and the icon against his heart, a mix of wonder and fear in his eyes before he made a gesture of warding in front of himself that was quickly mirrored by Siler.

While the ritual had been admittedly showy, the degree of fascination felt like an overreaction. But perhaps her religion was just showier than most. In fact, the entire room seemed to have decided that her prayer was very much worthy of interest.

“Well woman, you came here to get their attention.” Aisha smiled, looking at the gaping faces of the Tau’ri.


to all claims in plaintiff's complaint.

I. Background

A. Facts

In January, 1998, Rodriguez answered a newspaper employment advertisement placed by Advance Security seeking applicants for the job of security guard with Advance Security. Advance Security hired plaintiff on January 12, 1998, and assigned him to work at defendant's Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store in Reading, Pennsylvania.[4] On February 6, 1998, plaintiff's employment with Advance Security was terminated; he was informed of this in a phone call with Rex Francis, Advance Security's site supervisor.

B. Plaintiff's Claims

Rodriguez claims in his complaint and in his response to defendant's motion for *645 summary judgment that he was fired from his job on February 6, 1998, with no cause given, and replaced by white males. He claims that Steven Brader, Polo's Loss Prevention Manager atperiod. Fortunately, the schedules are also labeled with days of the week corresponding to the numbered days, and this labeling reveals[19] that the schedule Polo provided, with the names of the three white workers, is actually a work schedule for February 13-19, 1998, though it is mislabeled as being from "Jan 1998". Because Rodriguez was terminated on February 6, 1998, this schedule would provide evidence that he was replaced by the white workers. Thus, taking all inferences in favor of plaintiff, and in the absence of other arguments from defendant, Rodriguez may be said to have stated a prima facie case under the McDonnell Douglas framework.
Since he has arguably made a prima facie case, the burden of production shifts to the defendant, who is required to articulate a

The explanation provoked derision online.

"Sweden also has central heating – why don't they have haze?" asked one poster.

Calls made to the environmental protection bureau in Shenyang, where more than eight million people live, went unanswered.

The Changchun city government said on social media Monday that it was initiating a "level three" emergency response, telling schools to stop organising outdoor activities, and reminding residents to stay indoors and "take health precautions", without further specifications.

China used almost 4.3 billion tonnes of coal in 2013, according


to the latest official statistics -- in which figures for previous years were revised upwards by hundreds of millions of tonnes.

Beijing has pledged that its emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas pollutant released from the burning of coal, will peak by "around 2030".

Northeastern provinces such as Jilin and Liaoning do not yet have a coal consumption cap, Greenpeace campaigner Dong said, describing it as "a measure which can rapidly improve air quality".

Last month, the environmental group found that nearly 80 percent of Chinese cities had pollution levels that "greatly exceeded" national standards over the first nine months of this year.

Yet online commentators expressed concerns that governmental attempts to clean up the air would be too little, too late.

"It's like this every year," was a common refrain.

Speaking of writer slash directors, Ryan Coogler’s debut feature Fruitvale Station, was pretty much compelling even if you can see some minor quips here and there.

As the Kansas City Chiefs attempt to capture their first Super Bowl in 50 years, wide receiver Sammy Watkins believes there's no one more deserving of the Lombardi Trophy than his head coach, Andy Reid.

"I think coach Reid deserves one," Watkins told reporters during Super Bowl Opening Night, according to Around the NFL. "He's one of the top coaches in this league. He's on the top coaches I've ever had and I think himself in general and this organization deserve a ring. I think everyone on this team deserves one. I think we've played well and went through all the trials and tribulations and injuries and stuff like that and we've played the best as a team. So I think if anyone deserves one, we do.

"I know he(Reid) won't retire but I think (a Super Bowl title) would definitely set up his Hall of Fame career.

A coach that really cares, a coach you can go talk to and probably the best decision of my life to come play for him."

Kansas City signed Watkins in 2018 after three seasons with the Buffalo Bills and one campaign with the Los Angeles Rams.

The receiver has taken a back seat to other Chiefs stars at times this season, but he caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown in his team's AFC championship win over the Tennessee Titans.

The challenges for global harmonisation of food safety norms and regulations: issues for India.
Safe and adequate food is a human right, safety being a prime quality attribute without which food is unfit for consumption. Food safety regulations are framed to exercise control over all types of food produced, processed and sold so that the customer is assured that the food consumed will not cause any harm. From the Indian perspective, global harmonisation of food regulations is needed to improve food and nutrition security, the food trade and delivery of safe ready-to-eat (RTE) foods at all places and at all times. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) put forward to transform developing societies incorporate many food safety issues. The success of the MDGs, including that of poverty reduction, will inSodomy and kingcraft in Urania and Antony and Cleopatra.
Despite his description of sodomy as a horrible crime that a king is "bound in conscience neuer to forgiue," James I pursued the affections of a string of young and handsome "favourites" on whom he lavished gifts, titles, and power. Relying on the evidence of the King's own letters and frank comments from his Puritan critics, most historians assume that his relations with some of these men were sexual. The King's friendship with Robert Carr (who was later made Earl of Somerset), coupled with his estrangement from Queen Anne, may have been an inspiration for at least two literary accounts of kingship confounded by sex: Lady Mary Wroth's Urania (1621) and Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra (1608). Wroth describes a duke


who is made politically vulnerable by his love for a young man that leaves him "issue-les." The rise and fall of this disloyal companion closely resembles that of Somerset and would seem to indicate Wroth's belief that the King's relationship with the Earl was sexual. Antony and Cleopatra is in many ways a reflection of Jacobean court extravagance and decadence. Cleopatra, despite her sex, seems to fill the same role in political and sexual scandal as did Somerset; and Antony's vacillation between pleasure and duty recalls a certain Renaissance discourse on sodomy and "kingcraft".shore, which is an indicator it was very ill.”

Introduction

The Civil Rights Act signed into law in April 1968–popularly known as the Fair Housing Act–prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin and sex. Intended as a follow-up to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the bill was the subject of a contentious debate in the Senate, but was passed quickly by the House of Representatives in the days after the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The act stands as the final great legislative achievement of the civil rights era.

Struggle for Fair Housing

Despite Supreme Court decisions, including Shelley v. Kraemer (1948) and Jones v. Mayer Co. (decided in June 1968), barringthe exclusion of African Americans or other minorities from certain sections of cities, race-based housing patterns were still in force by the late 1960s, and those who challenged them often met with resistance, hostility and even violence. Meanwhile, while a growing number of African-American or Hispanic members of the armed forces fought and died in Vietnam, on the home front their families had trouble renting or purchasing homes in certain residential areas because of their race or national origin. In this climate, organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) the G.I. Forum and the National Committee Against Discrimination in Housing lobbied for new fair housing legislation to be passed.

Did You Know?

A major force behind passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968


was the NAACP’s Washington director, Clarence Mitchell Jr., who proved so effective in pushing through legislation aiding blacks that he was referred to as the “101st senator.”

The proposed civil rights legislation of 1968 expanded on and was intended as a follow-up to the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964. The bill’s original goal was to extend federal protection to civil rights workers, but it was eventually expanded to address racial discrimination in housing. Title VIII of the proposed Civil Rights Act was known as the Fair Housing Act, later used as a shorthand description for the entire bill. It prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin and sex.

Passage by the Senate and House

In the Senate debate over the proposedlegislation, Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts–the first African-American ever to be elected to the Senate by popular vote–spoke personally of his return from World War II and his inability to provide a home of his choice for his new family because of his race. In early April 1968, the bill passed the Senate, albeit by an exceedingly slim margin, thanks to the support of the Senate Republican leader, Everett Dirksen, which defeated a southern filibuster. It then went to the House of Representatives, from which it was expected to emerge significantly weakened; the House had grown increasingly conservative as a result of urban unrest and the increasing strength and militancy of the Black Power movement.

On April 4–the day of the Senate vote–the civil rights leader Martin Luther King


Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had gone to aid striking sanitation workers. Amid a wave of emotion–including riots, burning and looting in more than 100 cities around the country–President Lyndon B. Johnson increased pressure on Congress to pass the new civil rights legislation. Since the summer of 1966, when King had participated in marches in Chicago calling for open housing in that city, he had been associated with the fight for fair housing. Johnson argued that the bill would be a fitting testament to the man and his legacy, and he wanted it passed prior to King’s funeral in Atlanta. After a strictly limited debate, the House passed the Fair Housing Act on April 10, and President Johnson signed it into law the following day.

Impactof the Fair Housing Act

Despite the historic nature of the Fair Housing Act, and its stature as the last major act of legislation of the civil rights movement, in practice housing remained segregated in many areas of the United States in the years that followed. From 1950 to 1980, the total black population in America’s urban centers increased from 6.1 million to 15.3 million. During this same time period, white Americans steadily moved out of the cities into the suburbs, taking many of the employment opportunities blacks needed into communities where they were not welcome to live. This trend led to the growth in urban America of ghettoes, or inner city communities with high minority populations that were plagued by high unemployment, crime and other social ills.

In 1988,


and soldier, that used love spells taught to him by his Buddhist Ajahn to seduce women. Thai people dangle his magical amulets around their necks to this day to attract mates. They also occasionally put their menstrual blood in a boys drink, because they think it will make him fall in love. Having spoken to some Thai Ruesi and Occultists, i've been told love spells aren't even bad karma. After westerners came to Thailand, and were trying to occupy it, they were insulting the Thais sexual practices, telling them they are backwards, and using this as an excuse to take over the country. So the king began changing things to prevent the country from being occupied. But still to this day, in the villages somewhat untouched by thewest, you can find sexual practices that would make a foreigners jaw drop. And in monasteries you can find Ajahns selling magical love amulets depicting women in various sexual positions, including, but not limited to, getting banged by horses. As early as the 1960s, the Thai Prime Minister Sarit Thanarat (สฤษดิ์ ธนะรัชต์) died leaving behind 100 female concubines. He was loved by HM King Bhumibol, largely considered to be one of the greatest Buddhist Kings of all time. During his funeral, King Bhumibol touched heads with Sarit, depicting his connection to the virtue of the Dhammaraj, and the picture was distributed throughout the media for 2 years. In the Thai language, you can find on the internet numerous monks defending polygamy, 15-20-25 wives at one time, and using


When Susanne Katz received a message by Instagram a little over a week ago notifying her that one of her photographs was taken down because it “violated community standards,” she never suspected it was over a seemingly innocent picture of her against the backdrop of an Israeli flag posted about 10 days prior.

The next morning, Katz reposted the photo, a selfie she took at work depicting a casual look with a messy ponytail in front of an Israeli flag, and again, it was taken down seven hours later.

Katz runs the young adult department at the Alpert Jewish Community Center in Long Beach, Calif.

She then contacted Instagram to ask why the photograph was taken down but did not receive a response, Katz said.

Public School 22 (P.S. 22) in Graniteville, New York is an elementary school much like many others in America. However, in one big way, this school is extraordinary! P.S. 22 has a chorus that was started in 2000 by music teacher Gregg Breinberg. Mr. B, as his students call him, makes the chorus a wonderfully uplifting experience for its members. He encourages them to work hard, respect each other, and express themselves freely. In 2006 Mr. B shared some P.S. 22 Chorus videos on the Internet, and from there things really took off! The chorus began getting requests to sing at concerts, on TV, and at political and charitable functions. One of the highlights of their success came earlier

the Housing Authority. In the spring of 1993, Gardenhire received an "outstanding" performance rating.
In early 1994, Gardenhire was promoted to housing specialist. Later that year, she was promoted to relocation coordinator, making her responsible for coordinating temporary moves by the residents of apartments and residences under the control of the Housing Authority and placing her under the direct supervision of Lucille Loyce. As a result of the promotion, she was provided with a Housing Authority car.
In September 1994, Loyce recommended that the relocation coordinator position held by Gardenhire be given a higher salary, supporting the request in part by reference to Gardenhire's competence.
In June 1996, Loyce named Gardenhire employee of the year. Loyce discussed promoting Gardenhire to Manager I in 1997, which would have involved an increase inof moves. According to Gardenhire, while the pilot program was ongoing in 1995, Williams sought delays in five or six of the 20 moves, which could have resulted in receipt of more compensation from the Housing Authority. Williams encouraged Gardenhire to cause delays in the moves or authorize moves on the weekends or holidays so that he could receive more compensation. Also, during the pilot program, Williams sought permission from Gardenhire to enter residences when the occupants were not home. In addition, he wanted her to sign off on bills for extermination of the vacant units before she had confirmed that exterminations had been done. At one point, Loyce asked Gardenhire to give Williams copies of bids from other companies. Gardenhire did so, placing the bids in an


Raye worked well with the RMC. Loyce accused Gardenhire of being a roadblock preventing Black people from getting work.
In February 1997, while Gardenhire was on vacation, Loyce arranged for the locks on Gardenhire's office to be changed. Loyce intimated at that time that Gardenhire had been taking things out of the office without permission.
In March 1997, Loyce summoned respondent to her office for a meeting and accused her of failing to keep her files and office in order. Loyce yelled at Gardenhire and called her a liar. Loyce stated she was going to start documentation to have Gardenhire terminated. Loyce directed Gardenhire to return the Housing Authority car previously provided to her.
In May 1997, Loyce changed Gardenhire's time card to prevent payment for a period when Gardenhire wasplan. At the end of the 90 days, Gardenhire received another unsatisfactory evaluation from Loyce. Loyce admitted that she wanted to terminate Gardenhire and that, except for the lawsuit, Gardenhire might have been terminated, although Loyce herself did not have authority to do so.
In the meantime, in May 1997, Gardenhire drafted an outline of the improprieties she knew or suspected and presented it to the Housing Authority's commissioners. She repeated the allegations that Williams asked her to cause delays on moving jobs in order to create extra charges and tried to force her to illegally enter residents' homes during their absence. She stated that she had been instructed to give Williams copies of other bids before the RMC submitted its bid. She reported that Raye informed her she


expected compensation from Williams if she (Raye) could coerce a movie company that happened to be shooting a film at Jordan Downs to pay $3,500 to move a resident, which the RMC had already contracted to do. According to the report, Raye showed Gardenhire a check for $800 she had previously received from Williams. Gardenhire charged that Williams had offered to invest in an outside business owned by Gardenhire.
In December 1997, Commissioner Kane showed Gardenhire's memorandum to Williams. The commissioners directed Donald Smith, the executive director, to investigate the allegations in the memorandum. Smith appointed Rena Hessman, *896 the Chief of Staff and Director of Inter-governmental Relations for the Housing Authority, and Ray Palacios, the Public Safety Director for the Housing Authority, to conduct the investigation.

Background: She was found by Wolverine in a camp on the outskirts of Kabul, while he was on a mission to extend a helping hand to oppressed mutants in countries where the X-Corporation had no presence. She had manifested her mutant powers during an attempted rape and killed her would-be rapists by chafing the flesh off their bones. Wolverine brought her to the nearest branch of X-Corporation, in Mumbai, and she later joined the class of special students at the Xavier Academy, taking the code name of Turaab (later changed to Dust). She remained loyal to Xavier during Magneto's attack on New York, even though her classmates switched loyalties.

Current Status: After the school restarted, she joined regular classes and became one of the regularcast members of New Mutants (later New X-Men: Academy X), the book that focused on the students of the school. She is a member of the Hellions house, under the charge of Emma Frost. She has never questioned the orders of her team leader, often in spite of her own feelings. Her relationship with her roommate, Noriko, a brash low-rise jeans-wearing feminist from a rival house is one of the plot points of the current book. The differing ideologies of the two girls leads to frequent clashes and the authors have cleverly avoided taking sides in the argument.

Character 2: Name: Tessa (last name unknown)Age: early thirtiesCode Name: SagePowers: Her mind is a living computer.Introduced: In March 1987, in Classic X-Men by Chris ClaremontRevealed as Afghan: In 2004, in


X-Treme X-Menby Chris ClaremontCurrently in:Uncanny X-Men by Chris ClaremontUSP: She was Xavier's first student, but he made her his spy in the Hellfire Club. Constant betrayals have hardened her to a point where she trusts no one.

Background: Tessa was introduced as the Black Rook of the Hellfire Club, right hand of the Black King and power behind the throne. Using her mental powers, she became the most trusted member of the club. However, she was not herself evil, and she did help the X-Men out on a number of occasions, though there was no mutual trust between them. Much later, after the dissolution of the Club, Tessa reappeared and was revealed to have been Xavier's mole inside the Hellfire Club. Apparently as a teenager, she saved his lifein Kabul, killing a gang of bandits. He trained her, but did not consider her worthy to be an X-Man, relegating her instead to a demeaning and secretive life in the highly misogynist Hellfire Club. It seems she turned away from him due to this treatment, but her exact feelings are never known. She joined the team of the one X-Man she trusted, Storm, before they fell out with Xavier and went their own way.

Current Status: Sage's recent actions have been inexplicable to say the least. She left the team and rejoined her former mentor in an attempt to restart teh club, but caused a fight and ended up installing a new Black King, at the same time installing notable villains as members. She seems to have a


grand plan, but nobody knows what it is, thus leading to frictions with her old teammates who are not sure if they can trust her.

So here we have two characters - one who was just shoehorned into a role and expected to fit it, and another who was built up from scratch. Its quite obvious who is more believable. Apart from Tessa's flashback scene 17 years after she was introduced, revealing her first meeting with Xavier, there has never been any indication of her Afghani heritage. Claremont just picked the only character whose past had not been revealed and retroactively cast her as Afghan. The fact that her mutation causes her skin to be deathly pale helped, as her ethnicity was hitherto unverifiable. But her retro-nationality was clearlyjust a gimmick because her only overriding characteristic is super-secretiveness. She could just as well have been Finnish, and it wouldn't have affected anything. Nor is this the first time Claremont has pulled such a rabbit out of a hat. Around the same time, he revealed Bishop to be aborigine, effectively taking the total number of African-American X-Men to zero.

On the other hand, Sooraya has been beautifully handled. She is not written as a mute victim, but as a girl whose actions are dictated by her strong religious beliefs. She chooses to wear the burqa out of choice, not compulsion (there is a beautiful scene with her mother where she explains her ideas of modesty). In another beautiful Morrison-esque touch, it is revealed that she is technically naked

Before Castro’s revolution, there were roughly 15,000 Jews living in Cuba. Today, there are just about 1,500. For the decades in between, there was no rabbi on the island and just one kosher butcher. “To be Cuban and Jewish is to be twice survivors,” historian Maritza Corrales explained to The New York Times. It was that determination that attracted photographer Jonathan Alpeyrie, who has travelled the world documenting distant Jewish enclaves, to visit Havana and capture what remains of the community many believe landed with Christopher Columbus.

Dash wasn’t sure what was going on there, but Spike was taller than a pony now and lookinglast two work at all, and a universe which required them to do the job because the stupid orbs wouldn't operate on their own. Disliking the Bearers just naturally fell into the first two categories. Flitter had dislike, disdain, and contempt for just about everything that existed -- but never hatred. All of the first three emotions were casual things, the logical reaction of just about the only pony in the world who could think to the inherent stupidity of everything around her. Hatred -- well, she'd once overheard somepony saying something unbelievably stupid: that hate was love with its back turned. And the idiocy of those words was self-apparent for anypony who could think about them -- in other words, usually just her -- but it still


seemed to Flitter that hate required a level of emotional and temporal commitment that she didn't care enough to give, especially since it would keep her from doing her job. And Flitter loved her job. Most ponies thought they knew what Flitter's job was: just another part of Ponyville's weather team. Naturally, those ponies were stupid. It was what she did to get the bits which were so stupidly vital for continued comfortable existence, but it wasn't work. That came when she did what she loved, and weather manipulation wasn't it. Flitter's work came after her job hours ended, and she loved it so much as to spend nearly every free waking moment at it because she was more vital to Equestria than any mere cold front breakercould ever be. The pitiful universe demanded that Flitter work as much as she possibly could and furthermore, deserved it. And so she went around at all hours making sure everypony around her got to have The Flitter Experience. Some of the ponies who had gone through The Flitter Experience believed Flitter's true occupation was Professional Bitch. Several had said it to her face. Flitter felt there had to be a better way to put it, especially since just about anything anypony else came up with was automatically stupid, and what she'd come up with after some thought was Professional Jolter. It was how she justified her mark. What did dragonflies do? They startled ponies. They came out of nowhere and made everypony jump -- well, everypony except

The other is Fluttershy, in her role as a vet, and one of the nastier parts of being a vet – knowing that an animal cannot be helped and needs to be put down. And the story examines how Flitter is wrong about kindness being weak, about Fluttershy being weak, and about what it really means to be strong.

in 1886 to the London Working Men’s College on the subject of the ideal hundred-volume library. Lubbock’s list seems to have been rather wide-ranging, and certainly not Anglocentric, including as it did the Analects of Confucius, the Qur’an, the Mahabharata and other works from Persian and Sanskrit literature. Tonkin, a distinguished journalist and critic who was for seventeen years literary editor of the London Independent and is closely associated with the Man Booker International Prize, cites a similarly high-minded and democratic cultural project as a significant influence on his own intellectual development..

As with many teenagers in the Great Britain of the late 1960s and 1970s, a blessed combination of well-stocked public libraries and the widespread availability at low prices of the Penguin Classics and Penguin Modern Classics seriesidealistic notions of the universality of literature are in practice qualified by the relative lack of enthusiasm of London publishers for novelists writing in “minor” foreign languages – German and French publishers seem on the whole to be more adventurous. Tonkin would also admit that, in spite of a succession of fashions for foreign writers (“Latin” in the early 1980s following the success of Márquez and central European a few years later with Kundera, Škvorecký, Klima, Miłosz, Márai and others) there are still huge gaps on the map.

Especially in English, which has tended to give a tardy and tepid response to literature from elsewhere, the topography of translation still resembles the late 19th century atlas we had at home. In it, vast expanses of non-European land were no


world as a leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, and the most high-profile drug kingpin since Pablo Escobar. In addition to smuggling thousands of tonnes of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and synthetic narcotics across the US-Mexico border, he had successfully pulled off two dramatic escapes from prisons in Mexico. He has been the subject of dozens of books, two popular TV series and, in 2009, was included in Forbes magazine’s list of billionaires. The following year, that same magazine named Guzmán one of the world’s most-wanted fugitives, second to only Osama bin Laden. As Guzmán’s lawyers liked to tell anybody who would listen, even before their client set foot in Brooklyn, he had already been convicted in the court of public opinion.

When he was captured by Mexican marines on 8a mystery, Americans have heard of El Chapo. By the time he appeared in court in 2018, he was a late-night TV punchline, a symbol of extreme wealth and an escape artist with a talent for leaving law enforcement with their hands empty.

At the trial, Guzmán was found guilty of all charges against him, including the most serious – having engaged in a continuing criminal enterprise. He will be sentenced at the end of June, and is almost certain to be jailed for life. His lawyers are seeking a retrial on the basis of jury misconduct, but the chances of that happening are slim.

When I was in Mexico City this spring, a month after the verdict, talk of the trial had already died down. Guzmán’s image had mostly


their leaders. It is a fairly straightforward idea: take out the head of an illegal organisation and the rest will collapse. The approach was developed to bring down the Colombian cartels, and in that case, it had some success. When Pablo Escobar was shot to death by Colombian police in 1993, his cartel went down with him.

But even as the structures of organised crime have evolved, US law enforcement has generally stuck to this top-down model. If they are not killing drug lords, they are using the American judicial system to make examples of them. Since 2001, when Mexico’s supreme court agreed to allow the extradition of criminals so long as they would not face the death penalty or life in prison (this ruling was amended four yearslater to permit life sentences), dozens of narcotraffickers have been extradited to the US, including members of the Tijuana, Beltrán-Leyva, Sinaloa and Los Zetas cartels. If Guzmán ends up in the supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, as he is expected to, he will share the facility with former Gulf cartel leader Osiel Cárdenas Guillén.

While Sinaloa has historically been, and still remains, Mexico’s most powerful cartel, the world it came up in no longer exists. Between the early 90s and the mid-2000s, the Sinaloa, Tijuana, Juárez and Gulf organisations were mini-monopolies, with borders that more or less stayed the same. Then, with the start of Mexico’s drug war in 2006, that arrangement started to fall apart. As Mexican and American authorities took out cartel leaders, groups fractured and new


of crime. The Zetas are notorious for stealing petrol from nationalised pipelines and selling it on the black market – a business that Sinaloa previously dominated, as journalist Ana Lilia Peréz documented in her book El Cartel Negro. The Santa Rosa de Lima cartel also specialises in petrol theft, known nationally as huachicol. Protection rackets are common. And cartels are kidnapping and extorting migrants on their way to the US border. In 2010, the bodies of 72 Central American migrants were found on a ranch in the north-eastern state of Tamaulipas. According to the lone survivor of the massacre, an 18-year-old Ecuadorian, the Zetas murdered the group when they refused to either pay for their freedom or serve as cartel hitmen.

At the same time, older cartels are expandingcartel. In 2006, López had an 11-year sentence knocked down to 20 months after working with authorities. Now based in Miami, he has written three books about trafficking, one of which was adapted into a wildly successful TV show in Latin America. His most recent book, which was also optioned for television, is a biography of El Chapo.

I first went to the Guzmán trial in early December, and began to go more frequently as a broader picture of cartel operations came into focus. In building the case, prosecutors approached it like a classic mafia roll-up, offering leniency to each captured narco and gradually working their way up the chain until they reached Guzmán. As Miami defence attorney Joaquin Perez, who has represented many extradited narcotraffickers, told me, it


to meet US demand for opium, and after the second world war, representatives of what would become Mexico’s Institutional Revolutionary party (PRI) were rumoured to have made handshake deals with smugglers, allowing them to export illicit crops across the border in exchange for a cut of the profits. The PRI was the de facto government for most of the 20th century – the novelist Mario Vargas Llosa once called Mexico under the PRI “the perfect dictatorship” – and during its tenure, politicians generally took a lax attitude towards the drug trade, regarding drugs as more of a health issue than a criminal one.

By the 1980s, narcos had solidified their power by divvying up trafficking routes and letting groups run their own territories. At the time cocaine trafficking wasstarting to become big business in Mexico. When the US DEA began targeting Colombian cocaine distribution routes between the Caribbean and Miami, the cartels had found an alternative in the Mexican “trampoline”. Traffickers started moving shipments across the porous US-Mexico border, and American officials redirected their attention to Mexico. From 1985 onwards, US operations in Mexico became more aggressive, following the kidnap, torture and murder of a DEA agent by the Guadalajara cartel. With the cold war receding, drugs replaced communism as the enemy No 1 of the American people.

The Americans did not find the Mexican authorities the most co-operative of partners in the “war on drugs”. By the 80s and 90s, writes the sociologist Luis Alejandro Astorga


Almanza, “it was practically impossible for society to ignore the unbreakable links between police and traffickers”. Particularly in states such as Tamaulipas, cops would moonlight as traffickers – and traffickers as cops – with the tacit blessing of local authorities and elites. “Various governmental structures seem to have been born captured by the illicit interests of their own creators,” writes Carlos Antonio Flores Peréz, a social anthropologist who studies the institutional protection of the drug trade. US army intelligence cables from the 80s and early 90s reveal that American officials were fully aware that all over Mexico, officials, politicians and state and federal police were in on the take.

In April 1989, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the former police officer who founded the infamous Guadalajara cartel, was arrested, butlike Escobar, he continued to run his cartel from prison. That year, his most powerful lieutenants – one of whom was a young Guzmán – assembled in Acapulco and were each assigned a territory. El Chapo and El Mayo took the Pacific coast. This kingmaker moment ushered in a new era, and preceded yet another big shift. Instead of continuing to accept cash from weakened Colombian suppliers, Mexican narcos began demanding payment in cocaine so they could go into business on their own. Before long, they went from being couriers to distributors, which was far more profitable, and overtook their former employers as the world’s biggest traffickers.

While agreements between cartels and Mexican authorities had previously kept violence between the two at bay, by the late 80s these relationships


were strained. With the US putting more pressure on the Mexican government to target traffickers, the old arrangements dissolved. Under these new circumstances, violence became common among gangs, writes Sinaloan historian Froylán Enciso, and “a way of confronting the government”.

Still, it rarely spilled into public view. So the country was stunned when in May 1993, a Mexican cardinal was killed in a shootout between the Tijuana and Sinaloa cartels at Guadalajara airport. Although it was later discovered that Tijuana sicarios had mistaken the cardinal’s car for Guzmán’s – they were retaliating for a Sinaloa attack that killed nine Tijuana members – he was initially blamed. A nationwide manhunt was called, and with Guzmán splashed all over the papers, he became a household name in Mexico.

In June 1993, hewas captured in Guatemala, extradited to Mexico and later sentenced to 20 years in jail for drug trafficking and murder. But for the next eight years, until he escaped in 2001 – allegedly hidden in a laundry cart pushed by a guard – Guzmán, like Félix Gallardo before him, continued to run his business from jail without any difficulties.

In the early 2000s, after Guzmán’s first escape from jail, Sinaloa began to expand. The organisation moved into the markets for meth and fentanyl and, as opioid addiction gained momentum in the US, Guzmán approached it like a shrewd businessman. According to Jack Riley, the former DEA head in Chicago, between 2010 and 2014, the cartel “increased the flow of Colombian and Mexican heroin because [Guzmán] saw the prescription drug


problem taking over”.

While this pattern played out across the US, Sinaloa’s power and logistical strength were concentrated in Chicago, the main hub from which they distributed drugs around the country. Cartel operations were so well organised, said Riley, that “you could hit a house with 50 kilos of heroin in it, and two doors down you could hit a house with $5m in it, and neither of the people running the houses even knew the other existed”.

Even as Sinaloa grew, Mexico was relatively peaceful. From the 1990s until 2006, Mexico’s homicide rate fell by nearly half, reaching the lowest levels in its history. Then, in late 2006, everything changed. Just over a week after the conservative Felipe Calderón took office, following a bitterly controversial election that he wonby a margin of just 0.6%, he declared an internal war on drugs, sending 6,500 troops into his home state of Michoacán. To his critics, this new war on drugs looked like a bid to divert attention from accusations of election fraud.

Calderón’s announcement initiated what would become one of the deadliest periods in Mexican history. With billions in funding from the US, Calderón pursued his own version of the kingpin strategy, deploying the military to fight cartels and targeting their leaders. During his six-year tenure, 25 of Mexico’s “most wanted” – two-thirds of the entire list – were arrested or killed. As cartels pushed back, extortion and kidnappings spiked, and the number of homicides reached an average of 20,000 a year. “In this new atmosphere of fear,” wrote


novelist Juan Villoro in an essay about the era, “10,000 companies offer security services and 3,000 people have had chips inserted under their skin so they can be located if they’re kidnapped”.

Despite this violence, Sinaloa seemed to receive less attention from the authorities than other cartels. An investigation by the US broadcaster National Public Radio (NPR) reported that between December 2006 and May 2010, Sinaloa members were arrested at significantly lower rates than those of rival groups. A congressman from Sinaloa also told NPR that the government “has been fighting organised crime in many parts of the republic, but has not touched Sinaloa”. Explanations for this varied from low-level corruption in the armed forces to more elaborate conspiracies involving the government – accusations that Calderón told reporters were“totally unfounded”, naming various Sinaloa members that the government had arrested.

In the next general election, in 2012, the PRI retook power and Peña Nieto became president. Although his administration retreated from the kingpin strategy, in 2014, more than a decade after he had first escaped from prison, Guzmán was recaptured and sent to the maximum-security Altiplano federal prison. The following year, he escaped once again, before he was recaptured for the final time in 2016. “Mission complete,” tweeted Peña Nieto.

After a year of negotiations and intense international pressure, Guzmán was extradited to New York in January 2017. If his capture had any effect on the violence in Mexico, it wasn’t immediately positive: 2017 was the deadliest year in modern Mexican history, with a total of 23,101 homicides. It


is not clear exactly how many of these deaths and disappearances were linked to organised crime, but scholars have noted that a culture of impunity certainly contributed to the violence. Less than 2% of homicide cases in Mexico result in indictments. By the time Peña Nieto left office in 2018, the number of people killed since 2006 had risen above 250,000, with a further 31,000 declared missing. Targeting leaders had fractured the cartel landscape, and new gangs were rushing in to fill the gaps.

Drug trafficking and cartel violence affect both the US and Mexico, but when it comes to addressing them, the US government has typically strongarmed Mexico into following its lead. Long before the overt bullying of the Trump administration, American officials were known to pay littleVicente Zambada Niebla, the son of El Mayo and Sinaloa’s heir apparent. “El Vicentillo” was one of the trial’s most anticipated witnesses. He was flown in from Chicago, where he had yet to be sentenced on his own trafficking charges, and took the stand in dark blue prison clothes. In a five-hour testimony that the New York Times described as a spectacular betrayal of his father and birthright, Zambada Niebla gave a detailed insider account of cartel workings, describing how the organisation spent at least $1m a month on bribes to police and politicians, and detailing a failed plot to use a government petrol tanker to transport South American cocaine to Mexico.

For


taking the stand against his “compadre”, as he politely referred to Guzmán, the 44-year-old was promised a shorter sentence and a possible path to US citizenship. Others were given similar offers. The Cifuentes brothers, who sent tonnes of drugs to cities all over the US, may serve less than 15 years for their cooperation. Even Chupeta, the Colombian trafficker who confessed to having ordered the killings of 150 people – and to having personally shot one man in the face – may be free in 10-15 years for his testimony.

In his plea agreement, Zambada Niebla also agreed to forfeit $1.37bn (yes, billion) to the US government, although it is highly unlikely any money will actually change hands. Since narcos don’t purchase property or open bank accounts in theirhas historically been very low, the numbers are steadily climbing: in 2016, 9.9% of the population said they had tried illegal drugs, up from 4.1% in 2002. Moreover, under the leadership of El Mayo and Guzmán’s sons, Iván and Alfredo, Sinaloa has continued to operate. Just as the trial was ending, Arizona officials announced the largest fentanyl seizure in history from a truck coming from Sinaloa territory; and, in mid-April, a presidential candidate in Guatemala was arrested for accepting a bribe from the Sinaloa cartel in exchange for appointing their people to high-ranking government positions.

What is changing in Mexico is the nature of violence. Kate Linthicum, the Mexico City bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times, says that in the past several years she has watched violence become


more localised in small gangs and contract criminals with shifting affiliations. This has corresponded with a rise in narcomenudeo, small-scale street trafficking and other forms of crime, including petrol theft. Because Mexico’s petrol industry is nationalised, the robberies cost the government more than $3bn a year. Since López Obrador made it one of his signature issues, petrol theft has become a front-page staple. The thieves are usually associated with local gangs or cartels, and are often assisted by Mexican Petroleum employees. At the beginning of January, López Obrador shut off Mexican Petroleum pipelines to stop smuggling, causing a national shortage that lasted for days. This enraged petrol cartels, but burnished his popularity: a national poll found that more than 80% of Mexicans approved of the move.

This sounds a little like the beginning of an Elmore Leonard novel—or maybe it's just how things in Florida really work. It's got everything: Cocaine trafficking, real estate, and a powerful politician. It's who the politician is that makes it news outside of Florida, because that would be Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio.

When Marco Rubio was majority whip of the Florida House of Representatives, he used his official position to urge state regulators to grant a real estate license to his brother-in-law, a convicted cocaine trafficker who had been released from prison 20 months earlier, according to records obtained by The Washington Post. In July 2002, Rubio sent a letter on his official statehouse stationery to the Florida Division of Real Estate, recommending Orlando Cicilia "for licensure withoutreservation." The letter, obtained by The Washington Post under the Florida Public Records Act, offers a glimpse of Rubio using his growing political power to assist his troubled brother-in-law and provides new insight into how the young lawmaker intertwined his personal and political lives. Rubio did not disclose in the letter that Cicilia was married to his sister, Barbara, or that the former cocaine dealer was living at the time in the same West Miami home as Rubio's parents. He wrote that he had known Cicilia "for over 25 years," without elaborating.

To put this in fuller context, we're not talking about your neighborhood pot dealer here, caught up in an overzealous war on drugs. Cicilia was convicted in 1989 of distributing $15 million worth of cocaine. While the

In the letter,

protections for accused students, as well as sidestepping the
typical lawmaking process. One of the most controversial changes
mandated by OCR is a lower burden of proof to find students
"responsible" for sexual assault.

The pilot, David Zehntner, was returning home to Glades County, Fla., on Sunday in his Cesna 182 and decided to fly over his home in LaBelle, when he noticed an unfamiliar truck in his driveway. Zehntner told WBBH he hovered over his home for nearly 10 minutes, watching a man try to break into his house.

"Right in front of us, with us making a tight circle around our property here, watching from the air -- and he was clearly looking at us several times, looked up," Zehntner told the TV station.

According to WBBH, Zehntner then flew closer, dropping the plane to 300 feet, and saw the man attaching Zehntner's red trailer to his truck and pulling out of his driveway.

The pilot then called the Glades County Sheriff's Officefrom the air and continued following the thief as he drove the truck and attached trailer down the road, WBBH reported.

"The gentleman had a plane at several points circling him at close altitude and never thought, I guess, that somebody might be watching me," Zehntner told WBBH.

Authorities located the thief on Interstate 75 heading into Charlotte County, according to WBBH, and Charlotte County Sheriff's deputies arrested him after a traffic stop about 40 miles from Zehntner's house.

Haines' truck was impounded and searched, and authorities found a loaded rifle and bullets on the floorboard.

The accused robber, Gary Robert Haines, 59, of Virginia, was arrested for grand theft and taken to the Charlotte County Jail.


Josh McGuire didn’t take long to endear himself to North Queensland Toyota Cowboys fans during his maiden season at the club.

McGuire averaged 174 metres and 32 tackles a game through the first seven rounds, but a calf injury in Round 8 halted his blistering start.

He would return in Round 11 and a barnstorming performance in a victory over the Raiders helped him retain his spot in Queensland State of Origin side.

Gonzalez used cell phone to record teens undressing

A former South Toledo salon owner admitted in court Monday that he used his cell phone to secretly videotape three teen-aged girls as they undressed for tanning sessions.

Matthew Gonzalez, 50, of 1337 Cromly Ct., pleaded guilty to three counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, a second-degree felony. He faces up to 24 years in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 16 by Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Linda Jennings.

In exchange for his plea, prosecutors said they would ask the court at the time of sentencing to dismiss three additional counts of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material as well as one count each of tampering with evidence and obstructing


official business.

Gonzalez was the owner of Matthew Vincente Salon, a prominent Garden Road salon and spa, when a 17-year-old client noticed a cell phone in a vent while using the tanning bed at the salon last September. She called authorities, who later questioned and charged Gonzalez.

He has been held in the Lucas County jail since January when additional victims were identified and additional felony charges filed.

In court Monday, Gonzalez stood beside his attorney, Ronnie Wingate, and told the court he used his cell phone to record girls under the age of 18 on three occasions in his salon as they changed their clothes for tanning sessions.

Judge Jennings asked whether he knew the girls were minors.

“At the time, probably some of them, not all of them,” Gonzalez replied.

Jennifer Lambdin,an assistant Lucas County prosecutor, told the court that on June 30, 2012, Gonzalez recorded a 17-year-old girl wearing only underwear. On July 13 and July 19, 2012, he taped two 16-year-old girls, both in a full state of nudity, Ms. Lambdin said.

Before accepting his guilty pleas, Judge Jennings told Gonzalez that in addition to the prison time and potential fines that he faces, he also would be classified as a Tier II sex offender and would have to register his address with the county sheriff where he lives every 180 days for the next 25 years.

Judge Jennings ordered his bond continued until sentencing.

The former Matthew Vincente Salon was sold in January and now operates as Shear Design Salon and Spa.

Cancer is prevalent: there were about 3.2 million cancer cases diagnosed (53% men, 47% women) and 1.7 million deaths from cancer (56% men, 44% women) in Europe (Ferlay et al. (2007) Ann. Oncol. 18(3):581-92). In the United States, the probability of developing invasive cancer is 38% for females and 46% for males that live to be 70 years old and older. In the US about 1.4 million new cases of cancer are expected for 2006. Although the five year survival rate for cancer is now 65%, up from about 50% in the mid-nineteen seventies, cancer is deadly.

A Miami law firm Friday filed a court complaint against Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills following the deaths of eight residents at the facility Wednesday.

Similarly, our offer to help evacuate vulnerable people in Florida nursing homes and place them in our nursing and assisted living facilities throughout the United States as a safe haven during and after the storm went unanswered as well.

His statementsaid the nursing home is undergoing a criminal investigation from local authorities and open investigations from both AHCA and the Florida Department of Children and Families, adding that the state will stop the facility from providing care.

An announcement from the nursing home, the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills, affirmed that it had a "delayed power inability to the transformer which fueled the office's

Sanchez said that officers and fire crews responded Wednesday morning to a call from the facility about some patients in need of critical care. Over the course of Wednesday, the death toll rose to eight, with the deceased ranging in age from 71 to 99.

At least 36 people have died in the USA under Irma-related circumstances, the vast majority in Florida.

Robert Gould, a spokesman for NextEra Energy Inc's Florida Power & Light, said utility representatives had met with Broward County officials in early March. At the time, Michel said he looked forward "to making the enhancements necessary to convert Hollywood Hills intoa 5-star facility to serve the needs of our community".

Administrator Jorge Carballo said that the SNF is fully cooperating with authorities and described the situation as "unfortunate and tragic", according to the Miami Herald. "It is too early to put percentages or dollar figures to damage until we get into the neighborhoods", the county commissioner, Heather Carruthers, said in a statement.

CBS4's Carey Codd said Summerland Key, one of the hardest hit by the storm, remained eerily quiet and dark. "I used to be a nurse and I watched how they did things, and I knew they would mistreat her there".

Emergency and Disaster Preparedness of European Hospital Pharmacists: A Survey.
This study was focused on reviewing the emergency and disaster preparedness of European hospital pharmacists. An online survey based on International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) guidelines for natural disasters was sent to European hospital pharmacies, with the support of the European Association of Hospital Pharmacists. Additional questions were added about the characteristics of respondents, as well as preparedness and experience of manmade disasters. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results. Hospital pharmacists in France (20%) and Spain (19%) returned most of the 306 questionnaires completed in 27 countries. Half of the respondents had analyzed their regional disaster risk, but 65% had never practiced emergency drills. Fifteen percent of respondents had experienced at least 1 major emergency or disaster eventdeparted from, a British Airways 747-400 flew smoothly through the cool morning air. Powered by four Rolls-Royce RB211 engines, the sleek airliner maintained an altitude of thirty thousand feet and a speed of 484 knots. Recent events had cooled enthusiasm for travel somewhat, and with a hundred and thirty one passengers aboard, it was barely filled to half capacity.

Captain Nigel Caldwell carefully monitored the instruments on the flight deck. The -400 was a newer variation of the classic jumbo jet, a product of the 1980s rather than the 1960s. Instead of mechanical “steam gauges”, Nigel's cockpit readouts consisted of computer displays that displayed information about the plane's course, speed, altitude, and systems. It was a routine flight and nothing was out of the ordinary. Well, the EGT on


the number 4 engine was a bit high, but they'd already noted it before they took off and it was still within operational parameters.

The copilot, First Officer Howard Manning, suddenly exclaimed, “What the bloody hell is that?” That drew the captain's attention instantly, and he followed his copilot's outstretched finger.

What he saw nearly made his eyes bulge out of his skull. It was as if the horizon had blurred into a mirage of red and sky blue, if the very air itself had turned into a gently shimmering puddle.

Left emotionally vulnerable following a bad L.S.D. trip, young hippie Hadie (Theo Kogan) soon falls prey to the charms of charismatic cult leader Charlie (Armstrong), whose paranoid clan of outcasts have moved to the desert in hopes of hatching a plan to take over the world. As the Hanson family prepares their nefarious takeover, glamorous film starlet Sharon Hate (Nelly Pozbourne) plunges into a decadent world of showbiz debauchery with a little help from her hairdresser friend Hay (Davey Havok). Soon after Sharon encounters members of the Hanson family digging for food in a nearby dumpster, cult leader


Charlie begins receiving murderous messages disguised as harmless pop songs. After laying Sharon and her Hollywood friends to waste in a blood-soaked orgy of murder and mutilation, Charlie leads his followers on yet another murderous mission before stealthily disappearing into the night when local police show up on the scene. Though Charlie himself is eventually locked up behind bars as well, his word reaches more people than ever thanks to the tireless efforts of a sensationalistic media and an opportunistic prosecutor who transforms the lurid tale into a bestselling book. Now, in the year 3069, Charlie's word is about to become divine law, and a generation tenuously clinging to life on a barren planet is about to fall.
