Mexico's Role in the Deadly Rise of Fentanyl

The Fentanyl Trade Through Mexico, Explained in 8 Graphs
Since surging into the market in 2013, fentanyl has become the most lethal category of opioid in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that more than 47,000 people died from an opioid overdose in 2017 in the United States—28,000 of those deaths were due to synthetic opioids, which the CDC says is largely the result of the uptick in abuse of fentanyl.
This investigation sought to better situate Mexico's role in the fentanyl trade. Chinese companies produce the vast majority of fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and fentanyl precursors, but Mexico is becoming a major transit and production point for the drug and its analogs as well, and Mexican traffickers appear to be playing a role in its distribution in the United States.
This article is part of a series on the growing demand for fentanyl and its deadly consequences done with the support of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. See the rest of the series here.
To investigate Mexico's role, we found we had to look at the entire distribution chain. InSight Crime employed two researchers in Mexico, two in the United States, and two in Colombia who combed through databases, scoured judicial documents, filed freedom of information requests, and executed dozens of interviews in Mexico and the United States with law enforcement, prosecutors, health specialists, and others. The result is a nuanced picture but one with troubling implications for the future of drug trafficking and drug consumption.
While seemingly dominated by two large criminal groups in Mexico, the fentanyl trade requires vast networks of smaller subcontractors who specialize in importing, producing, and transporting synthetic drugs. Both large and small organizations appear to be taking advantage of the surge in popularity of the drug, which is increasingly laced into other substances such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana—very often without the end-user knowing it. To be sure, rising seizures of counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl illustrate that the market is maturing in other ways as well.
Fentanyl's potency also opens the door to entrepreneurs who bypass Mexico altogether, obtaining their supplies directly from China and selling them on the dark web. There is little public understanding of the prevalence of this part of the trade and even less of its medium- and long-term implications. The low barrier of entry into this market and its high returns make for a frightening future in which synthetic drugs of all types could proliferate.
Major Findings
Fentanyl lends itself to drug trafficking in many respects and therefore may represent how the drug trade might move in the future to more portable and intoxicating synthetic substances.
Fentanyl is potent. Small amounts means less risk in the production and transport process but still significant profits.
Production of fentanyl is also relatively simple and cheap, opening the door for smaller groups to enter the trade using small spaces and moving small quantities over the dark web.
China produces nearly all of the fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and fentanyl precursors in the world, although India—with its large chemical infrastructure—appears poised to make an entry into the market, and Mexican traffickers are starting to produce it as well using precursors obtained mostly in China.
Mexico is a growing transit and production point for fentanyl, with most of the product entering via the ports of Manzanillo and Lázaro Cárdenas.
Mexico's two largest criminal organizations—the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación - CJNG)—are the most important Mexican purveyors of the drug and its precursors, although smaller criminal organizations and contractors may play significant roles in production and transport of the drug along the distribution chain.
It is not clear how much Mexico-sourced fentanyl is being consumed in the United States. There are conflicting accounts of how much is arriving directly from China versus how much is coming via Mexico.
US authorities say Dominican traffickers are the main suppliers to end-consumers in the Northeast of the US, although Mexican trafficking networks do play a significant role.
Heroin and fentanyl are often trafficked together, but fentanyl and methamphetamine may have more in common in the production phase and are increasingly seen at the end-user stage.
Legacy criminal organizations with experience importing chemicals for methamphetamine production from Asia seem to be the best-positioned to take advantage of this surge in fentanyl use.
Mexico's government does not see fentanyl as an important issue yet and has not devoted significant resources towards finding the principal drivers of the trade inside its borders.

Regulations Protecting Nail Salon Workers
Wage and Hour Lawyers Advocating for New York City Employees
At Phillips & Associates, we aggressively advocate for nail salon workers who have been exploited by their employers. This industry in New York has seen its share of wage and hour, rest break, and health violations. In May 2014, the New York Department of Labor investigated and found 116 violations in 29 nail salons. Another state investigation found 901 violations in 182 businesses. As of August 2014, 43% of salons had not paid minimum wage or overtime. At Phillips & Associates, our New York City wage law attorneys can protect the rights of workers who have not received what they are due. We can explore the details of your situation and discuss your options.
Protections for Nail Salon Workers
In May 2015, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced emergency regulations and legislation to protect nail salon workers. Due to the seriousness of the violations, the state of New York required "appearance enhancement businesses" like nail salons to obtain wage bonds as security for unpaid wages. This requirement is intended to protect from mistreatment about 40,000 workers, many of whom are female immigrants. The secretary of state can issue a fine or a cease and desist order if the wage bond is not procured.
The provisions became enforceable 60 days after the Department of Financial Services submitted a certification that the coverage was readily available on the market. This certification was submitted in August 2015.
The Korean American Nail Salon Association of New York and the Chinese Nail Salon Association of East America, two trade groups that represented the owners of nail salons affected by the wage bond requirement, sued the governor and the state in Albany two weeks after the emergency regulations. They argued that there are too few surety companies that offer the required bond and that the companies that do have unfair requirements like high personal credit scores, which put the bond out of reach for owners. They claimed the wage bond requirement was arbitrary and capricious and tried to have the regulations voided.
The plaintiffs also tried to argue that the certification was a violation of their equal protection rights. They argued that the regulations and certification focused on appearance enhancement businesses that had nail services, and Asian-Americans owned most of these businesses.
In response, the state argued it had provided 15 informational forums for owners and had tried to help salon owners comply. The state also argued that most nail salon owners who had made a good faith effort to get the bond were able to do so and that employers who paid workers what they were owed would not have a reason to fear the wage bond requirement. Only 18 wage bond applications out of 1,188 had been denied, while 98.5 percent of those processed had been approved.
In the lawsuit, Acting Justice Michael Melkonian upheld the regulations, including the wage bond requirement. He found the state had a legitimate interest in protecting nail salon workers from wage theft, failures to pay the minimum wage, and other labor abuses and exploitation. He noted that there were nine insurers and 12 producers that intended to issue and sell bonds. Justice Melkonian rejected the trade groups' argument that the Department of Financial Services did not have the authority to make the certification, since the emergency regulation gave the agent the sole authority to provide the certification. Addressing the equal protection argument, the judge said that the regulations were neutral on their face, and there was a rational relationship between the legislation and a legitimate state interest.
Consult a New York City Attorney for an Employment Dispute
The New York City workers' rights lawyers at Phillips & Associates represent nail salon employees and other workers in cases involving employment law violations. The regulations at issue in the above ruling were enacted to require nail salons to provide better working conditions. A nail salon's failure to procure the required wage bond is illegal and may be strong evidence in a lawsuit. Call our attorneys at (833) 529-3476 or use our online form to set up a free consultation. Phillips & Associates serves employees throughout Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Staten Island as well as in Westchester County and Long Island.

In this episode of Futurama...Mom takes over Twitter! No one can ever Tweet safely again!
Who would use Twitter in the series to make it significant?
maybe zoidberg or fry develop an addiction?
"I have friends....hurray for Zoidberg!"
How about Zoidberg and Fry. That would be interesting, in some way.

Svip: Maaaybe that one, yeah. Depends on how they handle it. Of course, if they still retain good writers they can turn almost any potentially lame-sounding idea into quality; or at least something interesting.
And also of course, it is all a moot point anyway if the ridiculous dispute drags on much longer.
The fans are really being played for chumps..
Indeed have faith with both the writers and that this whole VA thing will turn out well.... I probably won't watch or be as interested in the eps if the actors aren't the originals...may still watch though to see how lame the replacements will be
DOOP Secretary
Quote from: Angelikfire on 07-25-2009 22:52
The same goes for this time-travelling in the future: a lame ploy to show the fans Fry and Leela's spawn, in my opinion.
Oh, hah, I doubt that very much is the intend. You will not see a spawn of them. I am willing to bet on this.
Frisco17
One of the tadpoles maybe?
Quote from: Svip on 07-25-2009 22:56
Not even a glimpse in the background as they time travel a la the time machine?
I'll take that bet...
FistfulOAwesome
Starship Captain
Do we still have to hide. It does say "spoilers ahoy!".
Anyway, I'm with Svip. The Time-Travel episode sounds the most interesting to me and I doubt they'd use it as a chance to show a child of Fry and Leela, since that is pretty definitive. If they're supposed to have ups-and-downs than showing a kid just immediately makes those ups-and-downs pointless since we'll know (ABSOLUTELY) how it will turn out. I'm not even sure we'll see a future version of Fry and Leela (since they might want to hold off on it to keep those ups-and-downs relevant).
However, this episode will probably be a great chance for the writers to throw references to future events. I bet it'll be worthwhile to watch the episode once completely focusing on the background.
Frida Waterfall
I'd think that it'd be impossible, considering the circumstances.
Unless if clones or duplicates are created to fulfill Fry's and the Professor's absence, the future that Fry and the Professor will visit will be one uninfluenced by their presence. And I doubt that Leela's going to inject Fry's semen into her eggs as a way of "remembering" him.
Ah didn't think of that....good point
Quote from: FistfulOAwesome on 07-25-2009 23:05
Not so, Fistful. The future they may travel to in one point in time may (well, almost certain) be different from the future they travel to in another.
@Frida: If they used a Time-Machine to go back would they be going back to their original universe? Because the way you describe it sounds like Back to the Future Parallel Universe Time Travel rather than closed-loop Time Travel.
« : 07-25-2009 23:30 »
Never watched "Back to the Future"... but I know what you're talking about.
I'm describing a "Back to the Future" Parallel Universe Time Travel.
And yes, using the time-machine they would go back to their own universe (at the time that they want).
Angelikfire
Then we have a deal, sir.
Anyway, I'm with Svip. The Time-Travel episode sounds the most interesting to me and I doubt they'd use it as a chance to show a child of Fry and Leela, since that is pretty definitive. If they're supposed to have ups-and-downs than showing a kid just immediately makes those ups-and-downs pointless since we'll know (ABSOLUTELY) how it will turn out.
Seeing a child of Fry and Leela (the last thing I want to see on Futurama, so I really hope you and Svip are right) wouldn't necessarily mean that they are still together in the future, though. And from the last DXC interview we got, the answer about an eventual kid of them looked more like a "yes" than a "no" - or at least this is the feeling I got from that.
Or the time travel episode could be one of those, 'if I don't do something now, this is how it is going to look', type of things. Of course I don't think Matt and David X. will do something that simple.
To give the idea of offspring, but not reveal if they have any or not, Fry could go looking to see if he has any children. But before he has the chance, he and Farnsworth travel "uncontrollably," as the article says.
@Frida: So I guess when they get back they'll just hide behind a box or something until their earlier versions leave (since I assume to go back to their universe they would need to go back before the time they Time-Traveled, or else they'd end up in the second "without them" universe (feel free to correct me. I'd love to learn).
@Smarty: That sounds pretty good. Perhaps we could even hear a kid's voice say "Daddy" but they teleport before Fry can investigate.
Yeah, something like that. Only funny.
I always thought it would be a great gag for an episode like that to only be able to hear the offspring, but never see him/her/it/them. Kind of like how Maggie Simpson never talks.
Quote from: Frida Waterfall on 07-25-2009 23:33
Yeah, almost like Charlie Brown or those shows where they don't show the heads of the parents.
I actually meant to post this:
Kind of mirroring how Maggie Simpson never talks.
courtneysmexy
Poppler
um i disagree
how do i create a person
Space Pope
Three points of order, directed at courtneysmexy:
1.) With what are you disagreeing in that first post? I am somewhat perplexed.
2.) Double-posting is bad. Don't do it.
3.) Asking how one creates a person seems to have philosophical implications, but we'll ignore them for now. Assuming you're talking about getting yourself an avatar, all you have to do is go to your own profile, and click on "Forum Profile Information." From there, you'll find a list of pre-existing avatars to choose from.
Bonus point of order: Welcome to PEEL, although you could very well be a fake account, a 10-year old girl, or a 78-year old man. Here's hoping you're just a quasi-well-adjusted Futurama fan.
As far as the spoilers go: The time-travel episode sounds pretty cool, as does the Zapp/Leela story. Other than that, though, none of these ideas are striking me as all that, er...good. But, like Frisco said, we'll just have to wait and see, because these descriptions certainly can't be doing the stories themselves much justice.
Oh, and I'm glad DXC pushed for resolving that pesky wormhole business. Although I'm still kind of worried that we won't get an actual Fry/Leela relationship, which makes virtually no sense to me, after Leela's profession of love at the end of ItWGY. No amount of explaining will make it believable to me. (I mean, I could see her attempting to get out of it, or trying to rationalize it to Fry, but I do think the end-game should be a relationship. And by "end-game" I mean "by the end of the first episode." But that's probably just wishful thinking.)
Well they did use the word "destined" talking about Fry and Leela. Other than that I refer you to a discussion I had with IC since I'm far to lazy to type it again.
Quote from: Frisco17 on 07-25-2009 22:16
Quote from: i_c_weiner on 07-25-2009 22:00
"Ups and downs" probably means a return to the original series status of the relationship, especially Seasons 3 and 4, as in a return to the status I liked best, since they weren't really together and it left open the door to good stories where they're not together.
I'm not sure "ups and downs" refers to a season 3 - 4 style situation. That's more like 1 step forward 2 steps back. "Ups and downs" probably means what I've been suggesting for years, the way the handle their relationship and get used to it. Besides trying to weasel out of ITWGY's ending seems too difficult to actually pull off without just being lazy/stupid.
i_c_weiner
They could have them agree to go on a date, and them immediately cut to Leela at the restaurant table with Fry telling him, "Yeah, this isn't going to work out," and go to a B-story from there. Quick and efficient. Sure, it weasels out of ITWGY's ending, but it'll get laughs.
Yeah, but then we're back to the hot-and-cold thing, which is already well-covered territory. I think the writers either have to write off the possibility of Fry and Leela as a couple entirely (which they have no intention of doing, based on what they said at Comic-Con), or get them together and simply deal with the fact that they're in a romantic relationship. I can handle the ups and downs (it'd get boring pretty quickly otherwise), but it'd be nice if we got some new conflicts for the two of them. If you put the obstacles in the context of a romantic relationship--as opposed to a friendship--then I think the story possiblities are endless and, better still, fresh.
Although I will say that the scenario you posed, i_c, amuses me; I can picture it so clearly.
You know, i_c_ and Gorky made me realize one of the reasons I like Futurama over The Simpsons and many other T.V. shows: It changes.
What I mean is that, unlike The Simpsons, there's been real change (i.e. growth) to the characters and world (don't be offended, Simpsons fans (of which I'm also one). This entire post will be chock full of truthiness (screw you, Spellcheck! Truthiness is a word. Look it up!). I honestly can see a growth from S1 all the way to S4 (the movies stopped this for a little (except for ITWGY (Super Fanboy of that one). Something changed that I probably couldn't adequately explain, even if I cared to write a 20 paragraph-long post, but I feel that this is true.
Bart is the same Bart he is today that he was 15 years ago. The writing, voicing, animation, and even history of the character are different, but he himself is not (and this goes for the rest of The Simpsons too). Fry of any random season/movie is different than a Fry of any other season/movie (and this goes for any other Futurama character). There is growth, there is change.
If my post reaches any point, it's that I disagree with i_c_ and anyone else who doesn't want to see the F/L relationship continue and wants the show to return to "normal". Returning to "normal" is what The Simpsons always does, and look what happened. You may not like change, but in the end, it's what makes this show so great and what'll keep all of us interested (so I agree with Gorky that the relationship (and other ballsy developments) are what'll keep the show fresh).
P.S. Spluh! The only change that shouldn't happen is that of the show's staff. FEMINISTAS UNITE! (did I do that right?)
But if they get into a relationship, and if they say that they're meant to be together, that creates a situation that doesn't change and is thus the very thing you're hoping to prevent.
IC that particular situation took ten years to change. I wouldn't worry about trying to change it again, especially seeing how it's either one or the other so you'd just be going back to square one.
But square one was the best square! I and my chocolate milk are not amused!
According to the futurama madhouse, Bender and Fry will have twitter accounts so fans can interact with them.....
Don't know if that will link to the twitte episode though

It sure doesn't look like it. And thats disappointing. Cue more missteps, slipups, and more abuse poured on Leela's head from angry shippers. Bah.
I can't see them ever getting together, not properly anyway, until the last ever episode. (Un)fortunately that keeps getting pushed back, and back...
It's more like 10 steps forward and 9 steps back each time... well, at least we get to see them actually going on a date this time.
It would make sense if it did...

I could see Bender not liking the idea of Fry and Leela as a couple. He's a bit of an attention seeker, and suddenly finding that he's no longer automatically Fry's best friend would annoy him. Cue lots of dramatic potential.
Quote from: Wonderpants on 07-26-2009 09:56
Very true. I mean last time he felt ingnored he took over the Earth.
@i_c_: The idea that F/L apart creates more stories seems a bit far-fetched to me. Single guys work, go home, go out with some friends, maybe get laid, then they get home, play some games, and go to sleep to start it all over again. In other words, nothing happens.
In a working relationship, there is constant struggle. I'm not talking about boring couples that become walking ghosts. I'm talking about two people who try (succeed?) in making a relationship work. Changes are constant since they have to get used to each other. They get to know each other more and more, hate becomes stronger, love becomes stronger (and anything in between).
The show needs something as living/constantly changing as a good relationship (with many ups and downs, as the writers have promised), which F/L together provides. I say one of the failures of The Simpsons is that they stopped evolving Marge and Homer's relationship (and others) and left it as it was when it began (that's one of the reasons The Simpsons Movie is overall liked: It's a return to the old style of change. Characters are tested (and it's well-written and funny).
The heart of this show is characters. Maybe some think it's crazy plots or high/low-brow jokes, but it's how those plots and jokes affect the characters that actually matters. Some others are worried about this new season, I'm very excited (I'm positive we'll get the actors back so I'm not going to focus on that). A return to the characters means a return to what made this show great and worth bringing back.
@Wonderpants: That will certainly be one of the more interesting aspects of F/L's relationship in the new season. I do hope that the writers remember that while Fry is Bender's Best Friend, he and Leela are friends as well.
So... what're everyone's thoughts on the Zoidberg/Scruffy origin episodes?
I think they sound like they have some good potential for laughs and may hopefully develop the scruffy character more...
Yes, I'd like to know why Professor Farnsworth hired these two in the first place. Zoidberg is just a bit incompetent and Scruffy is just plain lazy.
[Scruffy] Seconded [\Scruffy]
Maybe Zoidberg saved his life or something? He has been shown to be competent on a few occasions...
My idea, which would need some humor:
First of all, it is a flashback episode, obviously. The Professor and Zoidberg somehow get in a fight, and the Professor threatens to fire him. They keep their distance. Zoidberg goes and talks to Leela, and he complains how he is a failure. He then explains why, and his experiences at medical school and him being kicked out, but is interrupted by Bender and goes away. Meanwhile, Professor goes into the lounge. Fry or whoever asks what's wrong, he explains his story, then Fry asks why he hired him in the first place then.
Yes, I can see it. The full story together. Zoidberg just got kicked out from medical school. He's walking down the street next to Planet Express. Suddenly, a man in his 130s can be seen on the balcony of Planet Express. Something explodes and he runs into the building. Zoidberg, alarmed, runs up to help him and somehow saves his life.
The Professor, happy with his doctoring skills, hires him as the doctor of the company. Zoidberg, just happy he has a job, accepts, even though he is a failure and has no degree. But hey, the Professor doesn't care, as long as he can get cheap labor.
Thus the long friendship between the two. They make up at the end, blah blah blah, then Zoidberg breaks something and Farnsworth yells.
Awesome idea....I could see that working, though the episode would probably need a b-plot to flesh it out a bit more.....maybe something with Fry and bender doing something stupid or getting into trouble.
Anyway, a lot of humour could come from the medical school bits and maybe a previous Planet express crew could make an appearance
I think it would be funny to see a super efficient staff then, in contrast to the semi-dysfunctional one now.
Yeah...one that actually charges people for deliveries...
Zoidberg I can understand, they probably need a doctor on hand for some rule/law about health and safety at work, or University regulations about the Professors lab experiments, or something. And he's cheap. Very cheap.
The question is why is Scruffy there at all? Considering the prof pays little or no wages to the regular crew, what does he pay Scruffy, considering he's only the janitor? Maybe Scruffy has a hold over the prof in some way?

According to Manheim, more than 2,000 buyers have logged onto its Simulcast live online broadcast of physical auction during the worst days of the winter so far.
Simulcast sales usually account for up to 25% of all vehicles sold at any one of Manheim's auctions but this week that number reached more than 50% for several auctions, as buyers throughout the country avoided travelling in the chaos caused by the recent snow.
Mike Pilkington, managing director, Manheim Remarketing said: 'It's at times like this that the convenience of Simulcast really comes into its own. Earlier this year it came to the rescue and has done so once again.
BCA has also reported that its buyers are beating the snow by logging onto Live Online and its two new online services – Bid Now and Buy Now – and bidding for vehicles over the internet.
Figures also jumped for the Bid Now and Buy Now services. Vehicle viewing and bid numbers rose sharply as the snow fell, with the daily Bid Now sale (4.00pm to 6.00pm) recording a 38% uplift in bidding activity.


Track Shack - July: Do you have any quirky running habits to share? Be the Customer of the Month!
Do you have any quirky running habits to share? Post on the Track Shack Facebook page or on the blog. Deadline: July 18th.
When asked if you enjoying running alone or part of a group, most of you stated that you enjoy both depending on the type of run or your schedule. Short runs that give you alone time and focus on speed and long runs give you group energy, motivation and distraction. Some of you would love to run more with others, but your schedules prevent you from hitting the trail with friends as much as you would like.
For our Customer of the Month, Cynthia Sinclair, she loves running on her own to get in sync with her own body and find the perfect pace, but loves the 5k's where she can push herself against others.
Whether you run with a group or you run on your own…Just Run!
I count my breaths as I run. I count 1,2,3 as I inhale and 1,2,3 as I exhale. It's become a habit now. Keeps my mind focused on my breathing and my pace.
The day before I was to run my very first 5K a friend of mine gave me a charm of Tinker Bell with the word Believe engraved on it. Every race I slip it on my shoelace....I have never run a race without it!
I always have to put my right sock and shoe on before my left! It's a superstition I've had since high school when I played lacrosse and basketball games, and I'd always notice that my playing was off if I didn't do my usual routine when getting ready for the game. Now the same thing holds true for my runs-both short and long!
Ever since attending the Good Form Running Clinic, I have been doing the raised-arms posture re-set approximately every mile to two miles. I imagine it looks goofy, but it surprisingly works.

Home TV/Cable News Nexstar goes green
Nexstar goes green
Nexstar Broadcasting Group announced the launch of its environmentally friendly "nexstarGREEN" initiative. Employees in each of the companies 29 markets have adopted a specific eco-sensitive project. Today their collective efforts are making a big difference.
Electronic recycling drives in both Springfield, Missouri and Altoona, PA have set all-time records. In Springfield, more than a thousand people responded with 14 tons of electronics. Hundreds of computers, monitors and TV sets will now be recycled instead of being dumped in landfills. Springfield's Computer Recycling Center says this is the largest response in company history.
In Altoona, community response and participation was also overwhelming. In addition to electronics, the recycling drive in Blair County also included home appliances. Organizers say it was the best response they'd ever seen.
In San Angelo, TX and Hagerstown, MD it was all about recycling paper. In both cities paper was collected, shredded and is now destined to be recycled. Because of these efforts thousands of pounds of paper will find a new and useful second life.
In Little Rock, Nexstar employees took matters into their own hands. They adopted 8 blocks of a downtown street and will regularly work to keep it litter-free. They think the best way to be good stewards of the environment is to lead by example.
nexstarGREEN isn't limited to individual community projects. The green message will also be delivered through weekly-televised environmental reports. Additionally, a dedicated "green page" has been launched on each market's interactive web portal. These web sites showcase locally produced content, list available resources and offer links to other useful sites.

Earth Rights Defenders
Bertha Justice Legal Fellow (Paid) – Closed
Home / About Us / Careers / Bertha Justice Legal Fellow (Paid) – Closed
Position Title: Bertha Justice Legal Fellow (Paid)
Reports To: General Counsel
Start Date: September, 2020
Duration: Two Years
Application Deadline: December 15, 2019 (we will begin reviewing applications on December 1, 2019)
We are no longer accepting applications for this position!
EarthRights International, a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization that combines the power of law and the power of people in defense of human rights and the environment, is seeking a recent U.S. law school graduate for a two-year paid fellowship in our Washington, DC, office starting September 2020.
Summary Description
EarthRights International (EarthRights) is now seeking applications for the position of 2020-2022 U.S. Bertha Justice Fellow. This fellowship is supported by the generosity of the Bertha Foundation, whose "Be Just" initiative is intended to "train the next generation of social justice and movement lawyers by funding two-year Fellowships at the best public interest law centers around the world, where emerging lawyers receive practical training from renowned professionals." The fellowship is geared toward attorneys with less than two years' experience in public interest law.
Over the past 20 years, EarthRights has built a reputation as one of the leading legal organizations representing communities and individuals from around the world whose rights, livelihoods, and homelands are harmed by corporations, financial institutions, and governments. Our lawyers have worked closely with our clients, co-counsel, partner NGOs, campaigners, and others to bring groundbreaking lawsuits and pursue legal advocacy to provide remedies and ensure legal accountability. Our cases have set legal precedents, brought millions of dollars of compensation to survivors of human rights violations and industrial pollution, and changed the behavior of corporations and international institutions; a recent case, Jam v. International Finance Corporation, set important U.S. Supreme Court precedent.
The Bertha Justice Fellowship is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and cutting-edge legal team. Under the guidance and direction of General Counsel, the Fellow will work with other EarthRights attorneys to develop and implement legal strategies to protect human rights and the environment. The Fellow will be based out of EarthRights' Washington, DC office, but may work in coordination with legal staff in other country offices in Peru and Southeast Asia. Travel is possible as part of the fellowship, depending on the needs of EarthRights' work. Because EarthRights is a nonprofit with limited resources, the Fellow may be expected to assist with shared administrative, development, and communications tasks as well. At times, the Fellow may be expected to work outside normal hours to complete projects and represent clients.
In addition to the experience provided through working as a member of the EarthRights legal team, the Fellows will gain experience as fully integrated members of our legal team while receiving substantive mentorship and training opportunities. Fellows will also have the opportunity to attend international meetings with other lawyers within the Bertha network.

Conduct policy advocacy with the U.S. legislative and executive branches.
Responsibilities may also include
Travel domestically to attend court hearings and appear in court on behalf of clients.
Travel internationally to meet with individual rights-holders, communities and NGOs.
Speak on behalf of EarthRights in various venues.
Collaborate on EarthRights publications and assist in EarthRights events.
Take initiative to develop and coordinate new projects.
Supervise law student interns on legal research projects.
Assist other EarthRights programs as needed, including shared administrative, development, and communications tasks.
Required Qualifications and Experience

Smith, who was the only full-time customer support agent at the time, had a team of six part-time contractors to manage the rising number of monthly tickets – which went from 12,000 in January 2018 to 14,000 in February. "We were worried what March would bring," Smith says. Calm's goal was to have a first response time under 24 hours, but their actual response time was averaging over 100 hours. "We didn't feel good about that," says Smith. That's when Solvvy came on Calm's radar.
After Calm enlisted Solvvy to run a two-week trial to see how they compared to AnswerBot, the company chose Solvvy to implement a more robust self-service solution on its Help Center webpage that would make information readily available to its users, especially when it came to managing their subscriptions. "Solvvy blew AnswerBot out of the water right from the get-go," says Smith. Within a matter of days, Solvvy's impact could be seen immediately. "The first thing I noticed was that Solvvy was more proactive," says Smith. "It gets in front of the user and gives them an answer so they don't have to submit a ticket." That made Solvvy four or five times more efficient at helping users self-serve, and helped Calm quickly jump from a 10-12% self-service rate to an average rate of 47%.
Solvvy sits on the Calm Help Center page, enabling users to ask questions in their own words and get fast, accurate answers without having to read the FAQ section. Solvvy also separates and prioritizes subscription questions, because users don't want to wait when it comes to managing their money. Calm is one of the first clients to adopt Solvvy's new product, Assist, which takes self-service support a step further. When users ask a question related to canceling their subscription, Assist walks them through the process step by step, enabling them to make changes on their own and eliminating the need to contact an agent.
In addition to measurable results, Smith says working with Solvvy has helped Calm make their Help Center the best it's ever been. They regularly incorporate Solvvy's feedback about which articles are the most popular and where there's content missing. And for the support team, not having to spend their time on repetitive questions has relieved pressure while also freeing them up to focus on more valuable issues, such as looking at high-level metrics and implementing a formal quality assurance process.
Looking forward, Calm plans to focus on localization, expanding their reach and translating the Help Center into multiple languages based on international growth. The company is also considering automating new workflows using Assist to continue to increase self-service capabilities. "I see Solvvy being with us for the long run," says Smith.

Pietersen can lift England's gloom
DUNCAN FLETCHER is backing Kevin Pietersen to lift the England dressing room and restore self-confidence prior to their next meeting with Australia.
The hosts were understandably down after slumping to a first Test 239-run defeat at Lord's in just over three days, a result which made a mockery of talk that Australia were a fading force.
The England coach has ordered the squad to take a week away from the intense pressure of the Ashes to work on their individual gameplans, but he has already earmarked a special role for Pietersen when they reassemble at Edgbaston next week.
"I am very excited about him and I am sure the public will be excited by him as well," said Fletcher.
"What's so important about him is that he plays positive cricket and makes people leave the pub to go and watch him play.
" I think that is crucial for the game of cricket and from our point of view it is good to have someone who is so positive.
"He is positive out on the field, you can see he is motivating the players and in the changing room he is positive - that should rub off and make sure the guys hold their heads high when we get to Edgbaston."
The England coach first noticed Pietersen ' s philosophical attitude, which was underlined after he shrugged off the dropped catch of Michael Clarke during Australia's second innings, during last winter's tour to Zimbabwe.
"When I first saw him it was an incident similar to that dropped catch that I first realised that we had got someone special," said Fletcher.
"In the last one-day game he made a duck and in the first over he dropped a catch.
"I thought to myself that now I wanted to see what this individual is like, but he had forgotten it and by the next ball he was complimenting other members of the team and clapping.
"I realised that we had a guy who is pretty confident in his own ability." Fletcher also claimed Pietersen could help take the pressure off all- rounder Andrew Flintoff.
"You would have thought there would be some sort of change in the changing room because of Pietersen's arrival, but he gets on well with Freddie (Flintoff), " added Fletcher.
"They compliment each other, they talk a lot about how to play."

Matt Grzelcyk in the concussion protocol, not traveling with Bruins
By Joe Haggerty May 30, 2019 1:44 PM
BOSTON – The good news is that Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk has been released from the hospital and has begun his recovery from a nasty head hit suffered in Wednesday night's Game 2 loss. The bad news is that the Bruins puck-moving D-man is in the concussion protocol, per B's head coach Bruce Cassidy, and isn't going to be travelling with the rest of the team to St. Louis on Thursday afternoon ahead of Games 3 and 4.
"When we have a further update, we'll give it you," said Cassidy, who termed Grzelcyk day-to-day for right now.
Grzelcyk was the victim of a nasty head shot off the glass above the boards courtesy of Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist in the closing minutes of the first period in Wednesday night's 3-2 overtime loss, and obviously never returned to the game while being sent to the hospital with a concussion.
'Perfection Line' needs to live up to its nickname
Sundqvist is facing a phone hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. for the offending hit-from-behind and head shot where he was initially charged with a minor boarding penalty on the play.
Given the violence of the head hit on a play where Grzelcyk wasn't eligible to be checked with his back turned to the play and the fact that there's also a resulting injury, one would suspect that Sundqvist is going to face at least a one-game suspension for the dangerous play. That doesn't really do the Bruins any good now, however, as they'll be missing one of their fastest skaters and best puck-movers from the lineup, and it would be a surprise if he plays in either of the next couple of games in St. Louis while waiting for the fog to clear in concussion protocol.
Clearly the absence of Grzelcyk slowed down the Bruins attack a bit in Game 2, and forced the B's into playing Zdeno Chara, Charlie McAvoy, Torey Krug and Brandon Carlo big minutes that played into the Bruins simply running out of gas in the overtime loss.

Jakub Lauko ready to be 'humble & prepared' for Bruins training camp
USA TODAY Sports Photo
By Joe Haggerty July 16, 2019 11:56 AM
It wasn't a slam dunk that 19-year-old Bruins prospect Jakub Lauko was going to play in the QMJHL this past season.
In fact, Lauko admitted he had a lot of reservations when it was first discussed that the best move for the Czech winger would be to come over for North American junior hockey where he could begin to adjust away from the European game.
Lauko wanted to go right to the AHL in Providence after scoring a couple of goals early in his first NHL training camp before suffering an injury in a collision during camp practice with Noel Acciari. Clearly it was the right move for the teenager to head instead to junior hockey for his development, though, and that's the way things played out for him in a year where he got better as things went along.
It still was tough as Lauko adjusted to a different language and culture over the course of the hockey season, but the top B's forward prospect had zero regrets when it was all over with this summer.
Studnicka the next great hope for B's at center
Lauko didn't skate at all in Bruins development camp a few weeks ago because his junior season had just wrapped up after Rouyn-Noranda made it all the way to the Memorial Cup, but the Bruins prospect says that his experience in Quebec ended up making him a better player. It also showed him to be a big game player as he led the way with his eight points (two goals, six assists) in the five games it took Rouyn-Noranda to hoist the Memorial Cup.
"I hated it for the first month," said Lauko, who was playing through a lower body injury toward the end of his team's postseason run. "But at the end of the season, you just look up and see that you won two trophies. It was the right choice after that. I think I changed a lot as a player. I improved my English, and I think I'm a different player after this season, different person. I'm just happy I made the choice."
"It was a really big experience for me, through the regular season, playoffs and to the Cup. It was hell of a ride for us and I really enjoyed it. Just happy to have two trophies over my head after."
He was always pretty good to begin as evidenced by his standout performance at last summer's development camp, and in last fall's Bruins rookie training camp as well. The 6-foot-1, 172-pounder has speed, tenacity and goal-scoring ability as evidenced by his 21 goals and 41 points in 43 games for the Huskies during the regular season. Then he poured on six more goals and 13 points in 19 games during the Memorial Cup playoffs and showed off the skill that got him drafted.
Wagner & Coyle mark 5th anniversary of Ice Bucket Challenge
Now Lauko heads into his second NHL training camp one year bigger, stronger and more mature in his hockey game. Will he finally get his wish to be in either Boston or Providence this fall where he's already shown some of the hard-nosed and skilled traits he'll need to eventually stick at the NHL level?
"I think he came in last year and had a good training camp, he did a real good job of coming over to North America and adjusting a little bit. It was a little bit of a challenge early on. Tough going into Northern Quebec learning English and French at the same time to a degree," said Bruins Player Development Coordinator Jamie Langenbrunner. "It was tough living-wise for him early on, but his game continued to grow and he played his best hockey at the end of the year. That's what we were hoping for. We will see when September and October comes with him."
Certainly the Bruins could use another top-6 or top-9 winger after they never replaced the departing Marcus Johansson, but it has to be considered a longshot for Lauko with more finished prospect products like Anders Bjork, Peter Cehlarik and Zach Senyshyn in the running for any vacant forward spots.
Whether it's next season or a couple of years down the road, however, it's beginning to feel like Lauko is going to be in Boston sooner rather than later. And he will make an impact with his two-way game when he finally does arrive after the Bruins selected him in the third round (77thoverall) in last summer's NHL Draft.
Chara now the oldest active player in NHL
"It's hard to say (where I will play this season)," said Lauko, who signed his entry-level deal with the Bruins at the tail end of training camp last fall. "I will go into the year and just try to find a spot in Boston. You never know what's going to happen. I will just stay positive and whatever happens is going to happen.
"I will just arrive here humble and prepared. I will try to fight for a spot here. If it will not go well, just keep working and try to fight for a spot during the season and next seasons."
Lauko certainly has the right attitude and he's got the goods as far as his game goes on the ice. Everybody will just have to wait a few months to see if the 19-year-old has matured enough to the point where he could use those electric skills and tenacity to challenge for a B's roster spot at a precocious young age.
Bruins forwards Chris Wagner, Charlie Coyle celebrate five-year anniversary of the Ice Bucket Challenge
By Jacob Camenker July 15, 2019 10:56 PM
In 2014, the Ice Bucket Challenge came into existence. The challenge, inspired by former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates and his counterpart Pat Quinn, involves a participant dumping a bucket of ice water on their head while being filmed. During the video, the participant nominates others to join the challenge or forfeit and give a charitable donation to ALS research causes. The challenge was created to build awareness for ALS.
B's need Heinen to "be an offensive guy"
Quickly, the Internet embraced the Ice Bucket Challenge challenge and seemingly everyone was doing it, from average everyday people to Kermit the Frog to Boston-based sports teams. And the challenge reared its head once again on Monday.
On July 15, 2019, a revival of the Ice Bucket Challenge to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the viral sensation took place at Copley Square. And a couple of current members of the Boston Bruins, Chris Wagner and Charlie Coyle, were on hand and spoke about what the challenge meant to them.
"Obviously, it's just such a great cause," Wagner said per the Bruins official Twitter account. "It's a terrible disease. I've seen a lot of people affected by it. You know, family and friends too. Just to be here in support... it's easy for us and the whole thing goes a long way to raising some money."
HAGGERTY: Jack Studnicka is the Bruins' next great hope at center
Meanwhile, Coyle recalled actually doing the ice bucket challenge in his Weymouth-based home and bonding with his friends and family over the event.
"I did it in my backyard with my sister," Coyle said. "It was a lot of fun. And you get to nominate some of your friends, get them involved and it just keeps getting passed on. Like I said, it was just a fun way to do it. Everyone had a good time with it and it was a great idea by these guys."
It's nice to see that Wagner and Coyle are offering their support of this locally-based cause, especially given their Massachusetts-based roots.
And, of course, it was fun to see them participate in the challenge once again, which you can check out at the end of the video below, courtesy of the Bruins Twitter account.
Five years ago, the Ice Bucket Challenge took the world by storm and changed the fight against ALS forever.

Cats make awesome pets. They're cute and cuddly, relatively simple to look after and easy to bond with.
Unlike dogs, cats are independent 'thinkers' that are not minded to follow orders. They love getting your attention – just on their own terms. That's why cats are often misunderstood. Put yourself in their 'paws' and it all makes purr-fect sense.
Far from being solitary and aloof animals, cats actually thrive on company. Whether they choose to purr away on your lap while you watch TV or play games with you, our feline friends need interaction. In fact, a cat that keeps to himself is usually not a happy pet, and the lack of communication may well be a sign of illness.
Luckily, showing Kitty your love and affection is pretty straightforward. All you have to do is to ensure that her basic needs are met and you will have a life-long friend.
According to cats, cleanliness is next to godliness, and they spend a significant part of their day grooming and washing themselves. Have you noticed that healthy, happy cats don't smell (bad)? Clean toileting is the most important thing, and cats can be unbelievably fussy about their litterbox – its location, the absence (or otherwise) of odour and the feel of the cat litter under'paw'. Make sure the indoor box is placed in a safe and quiet place so business can be attended to without disturbance, and clean it every day.
Giving Kitty some proper pampering attention always goes down well. From snuggles to massages, to daily grooming with a brush (owners of long-haired felines, take note), you will quickly learn what your cat does and doesn't like. Cats have likes and dislikes, just like you and me, so while Tiddles may like his back rubbed (never against the grain!), Kitty may prefer neck tickles. Just do more of what elicits deep purring and you will be loved forever.
Cats can sleep as much as 16 hours per day, and this tends to increase with age. Whether you provide a cat basket with a snuggly cushion or blanket, ideally perched higher up for extra feline peace of mind, or offer your purry pal free choice of your home's soft furnishings, a safe, warm and comfy place to sleep is a must. Of course, Kitty may have her own ideas of where it's nicest to curl up – she may decide to sleep on your bed, your lap, your favourite armchair or even in your laundry basket!
Cats have a reputation for being fussy eaters – a bit like children. This doesn't have to be a problem, especially if listen to what Kitty is telling you. Cats are really not keen on change, so try to stick to the same catfood, once you've established her favourite kind. If you must change your brand of catfood for whatever reason, introduce the new food gradually over a few days to allow your cat to get used to it. Treats and titbits are no problem, as long as they are occasional and fit for purpose. Bits of leftover roast chicken once a week is fine and will be hugely appreciated, but pieces of processed meats are not the right thing to give your cat.
When it's not sleeping time or feeding time, it must be play time! Cats love to play or hunt – same thing. That's why being out in the garden is so exciting – there's just so much to play with! You will see Kitty's tail twitching as she watches a bird in the garden in the same way that a kitten will playfully pounce on your ankles. Why not play tease your cat with a piece of string, a ping pong ball or a shop bough feathery cat toy, ideally one that's been impregnated with catnip? There's hours of fun to be had, and you'll soon see signs of youthful glee even in the most geriatric of pussycats!

Seems our own Rabbott has made some members of the church community very concerned about how his government is treating people arriving by boats.
The government is ignoring the fact that these people have taken great risks to escape their countries of birth in order to seek peace and security, only to be met by our own Rabbott government's hard line and uncivil response.
Rabbott believes in being nasty – the church thinks we can be generous.
