Uranium Miners (1)
Study Background
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is a part of the US Public Health Service (PHS). The PHS and NIOSH have conducted a series of studies since 1950 on the health of uranium miners.
The PHS began the study in 1950 because of concerns that uranium mining causes lung cancer. (We know that miners were not informed of these concerns at the time). We call it a mortality study because it looks at whether miners have been dying of certain diseases at a higher than normal rate.
NIOSH researchers took over the study in the 1970s, and it has been "updated" several times. The following describes the results of the most recent update.
How the Study Was Done
The mortality study did not include all uranium miners. The study group was only made up of uranium miners who worked underground for at least one month. Also, each miner must have taken part in at least one of the medical exams conducted by the PHS between 1950 and 1960.
First we obtained miners' work histories. We obtained smoking histories from the medical exams. Next we used death certificates to find out what miners died from. Then we compared the death rates in miners to death rates in the general population of the mining states. The rates in the general population gave us the number of expected deaths in miners. When the number of deaths in miners is greater than the expected number, then an association with mining is suspected.
Because death rates are different for people of different races, we did one study on 3,238 white miners. We did a second study on 757 Native American, African American, and Asian miners. (All but 4 of the 757 miners were Native Americans, mainly Navajo). The following will review the results from each study.
Radon Gas and "Radon Daughters"
From the start, radioactive radon gas and radon "daughters" in the air were suspected as the cause of the lung cancer. Radiation can be thought of like invisible radio waves (only radio waves are harmless) or like specks of dust so tiny they are invisible. We estimated how much of the radon daughters each miner was exposed to by a unit called the working level month. We then looked to see if death rates increased with higher working level months.
This exposure-response relationship is strong evidence of an association between disease and exposure. It is used to show that the longer a miner is exposed to radon gas, the greater may be the risk of lung cancer.
Results for White Uranium Miners
The study looked at all causes of death. Only the causes of death listed below were significantly above normal. The results for all other causes of death were within the normal range.
We found strong evidence for an increased risk for lung cancer in white uranium miners. We expected about 64 deaths, but found 371. This means we found about 6 times more lung cancer deaths than expected.
There was an exposure-response relationship with exposure to radon daughters in the mines. When radon daughters are breathed in, they decay radioactively in the lung. This can cause lung cancer.
We also found strong evidence for pneumoconiosis, a type of lung disease (other than cancer) which is caused by dust. We expected less than 2 deaths, but found 41. There were about 24 times more of these deaths than expected.
This category includes silicosis, a disease caused by breathing in a particular mining dust, silica. Silicosis causes scarring of the lung and severe breathing problems. The risk of these lung diseases was greater the longer miners had worked in the mine.
We expected to see about 3 ½ deaths from the infectious lung disease tuberculosis (TB), but we saw 13. This is about 4 times more deaths than expected. This could have been related to the silicosis. People with silicosis are more likely to get TB.
We expected to see about 22 ½ deaths from emphysema but found 56. This is 2 ½ times more deaths than expected. Some of this result could have been related to cigarette smoking. People who smoke are more likely to get emphysema.
We expected to see about 68 deaths from injuries and found 143. This is over 2 times more deaths than expected.
Benign cancers and diseases of the blood
We also saw a greater risk of deaths from the categories "benign and unspecified cancers" and "diseases of the blood". Both of these categories had small numbers of deaths. Therefore, it is possible that the increased risk may not be due to mining.
All deaths
Finally, we saw a greater risk for "all deaths combined". We expected 986 deaths and found 1,595. This is 1 ½ times more deaths than expected.
Results for Non-White Uranium Miners
We found strong evidence for an increased risk for lung cancer in non-white uranium miners. We expected about 10 deaths, but found 34. This means we found over 3 times more lung cancer deaths than expected.
Pneumoconioses and other lung diseases
We also found strong evidence for pneumoconioses and other lung diseases (other than cancer). We expected about 8 deaths, but found 20. This means there were about 2 ½ times more of these deaths than expected.
This category includes many different diseases. They include silicosis. a disease caused by breathing in a particular mining dust, silica. Silicosis causes scarring of the lung and severe breathing problems. The risk of these lung diseases was greater the longer miners had worked in the mine.
We expected to see about 4 ½ deaths from the infectious lung disease tuberculosis (TB), but we saw 12. There were about 2½ times more of these deaths than expected. This could have been related to the silicosis. People with silicosis are more likely to get TB.
Limitations of the NIOSH Uranium Miners Health Study
Small Study Size
The study of the non-white miners was somewhat small with a total of only 757 miners.
Researchers are more confident of the results of studies with thousands of people in them.
Because of the small study size of the non-white miners, we may have missed some other illnesses connected to this mining group.
We are somewhat more confident of the results of the study of 3,238 white miners.
Since this was a mortality study, it only looked at causes of death among miners.
This study was not able to look at non-fatal injuries or at health problems that do not cause death.
Many miners today are still experiencing the effects of mining.
For example, they may still suffer from injuries that took place while mining. Or they may suffer from breathing problems. However, we were not able to take these conditions into account.
Uranium Millers
This study did not include uranium millers. However, NIOSH is in the process of planning a new study of uranium millers. This study will be completed in the years to come.
The uranium mining and milling industries caused environmental pollution.
They may have affected the health of community members other than workers. However, our study could not address these important issues.
Why did NIOSH study Uranium Miners?
Uranium Miners were exposed to radon gas, a radioactive material thought to cause lung cancer.
Uranium Miners were exposed to mining dust, thought to cause lung disease.
NIOSH made the study to find if uranium miners have an increased risk for lung cancer and other lung disease when compared to the U.S. general public.
Who was included in the NIOSH study?
Uranium miners who worked underground more than one month before 1964
Uranium miners who completed a medical exam between 1950 and 1960
A total of 3,238 white miners and 757 mainly Navajo miners
How did NIOSH do the study?
We looked at how many months uranium miners were exposed to radon gas.
We reviewed each miner's past smoking history.
We obtained death certificates for miners who had died.
We compared the number of deaths from lung cancer and other lung disease in uranium miners to that of the general public who lived in the same states.
We determined if the number of deaths from lung cancer and lung disease increased in uranium miners with longer exposure to radon gas.
What were the study results for White Miners?
We found the following deaths were greater among white uranium miners compared to the general public:
Lung Cancer – If the risk to uranium miners was the same as the risk to the general public, we would have expected 64 deaths from lung cancer. Instead we found 371. This was nearly 6 times more deaths than expected.
The longer a white miner was exposed to radon gas, the greater the risk of lung cancer.
Pneumoconiosis – we expected less than 2 deaths and found 41. This was nearly 24 times more deaths than expected.
This category included silicosis, a lung disease caused by breathing in a particular mining dust, silica. Silicosis causes scarring of the lung and severe breathing problems.
Tuberculosis – we expected 3 ½ deaths and found 13. This was nearly 4 times more deaths than expected.
Emphysema – we expected 22 ½ deaths and found 56. This was 2 ½ times more deaths than expected.
The longer a miner worked in a mine, the greater the risk of lung disease.
Injuries – we expected about 68 deaths from injuries and found 143. This was over 2 times more deaths than expected.
Benign and Unspecified Cancers – we expected less than 3 ½ deaths and found 8. This was about 2 ½ times more deaths than expected. This category includes cancers that are usually not fatal (benign) or when the exact type of cancer is not listed on the death certificate (unspecified).
Diseases of the Blood – we expected less than 3 deaths and found 7. This is also about 2 ½ times more deaths than expected.
All Deaths Combined – we expected 986 and found 1,595. This is over 1 ½times more deaths than expected. This was an unusual finding because working people are usually healthier than the general population.
What were the study results for Navajo and other Non-White Miners?
We found the following deaths were greater among non-white uranium miners compared to the general public:
Lung Cancer – we expected only 10 deaths and found 34. This was over 3 times more deaths than expected.
The longer a miner was exposed to radon gas, the greater the risk of lung cancer.
Other Lung Diseases – we expected less than 8 deaths and found 20. This was over 2½ times more deaths than expected.
This category included many diseases. They include silicosis, a lung disease caused by breathing in silica. Silicosis causes scarring of the lung and breathing problems.
Tuberculosis – we expected 4½ deaths and found 12. This was over 2½ times more than expected.
How can you help protect your own health?
If you smoke, you should stop.
Smoking greatly increases the risk of lung cancer and other lung disease in miners who breathed radon and dust. Smokers who quit now will reduce their risk even though they may have smoked for many years.
See your doctor if:
– you have trouble breathing
– you cough a lot
– you often feel tired
See your doctor for a skin test for tuberculosis (TB).
Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. At least 5 servings each day may help to prevent lung cancer.

In 1990, Congress passed a bill known as the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). One of the purposes was to compensate (pay) eligible uranium miners who developed certain diseases (or their families) up to $100,000. These diseases are: lung cancer, fibrosis of the lung, pulmonary fibrosis, cor pulmonale related to fibrosis of the lung, and moderate or severe silicas is or pneumoconiosis.
This bill includes an apology to you and others:
"The Congress apologizes on behalf of the Nation to the (affected individuals) and their families for the hardship they have endured."

NIOSH Study of Uranium Miners
Why the Study Was Done
The original study began in 1950 because of suspicions that uranium mining caused lung cancer. Studies have continued even after we were sure about this.
It has provided important information about how much radon exposure causes lung cancer.
The study included 3,238 white and 757 nonwhite (mainly Navajo) miners. They all took part in Public Health Service (PHS) medical exams in the 1950s. The mines were located on the Colorado Plateau in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado.
The mortality study described here was based on records. The four types of records used were: work histories, radon measurements in the mines, smoking histories, and death certificates for deceased miners.
Death Rates
We first looked at the death rates for men in the states where the miners lived. This gave us the expected number of deaths. Then we compared this to the number of deaths seen among uranium miners.
If the number of deaths from specific diseases is more than expected, then exposures in the mines may be the reason.
What the Study Found for White Miners
We found strong evidence of an increased risk for lung cancer in white uranium miners.
The risk was 6 times greater than normal in white miners (about 64 expected, 371 seen).
This was mainly due to exposure to radon gas or its decay product, radon daughters, in the mines.
The radon daughters give off radiation in the lung when they are breathed in. This causes the lung cancer.
The longer miners worked or the greater their exposure to radon daughters (as measured by working level months), the greater the risk for lung cancer.
Smoking also causes lung cancer. White miners who smoked were more likely to get lung cancer than nonsmokers.
However, even nonsmokers had an increased risk of lung cancer compared to the general population.
We also found strong evidence for other lung diseases (not cancer), especially pneumoconiosis. This risk was 24 times higher than normal in whites (less than 2 expected, 41 seen).
This category includes many different lung diseases. The category includes silicosis, a disease caused by breathing in mining dust. Silicosis causes severe breathing problems. The longer miners worked, the more likely they were to develop one of these lung diseases.
The risk of TB was about 4 times greater than normal in white miners (about 3½ expected, 13 seen).
The risk of TB could have been related to silicosis. People with silicosis are more likely to get TB.
Only a few deaths from TB have occurred in recent years, but this is something to be on the watch for.
The risk of emphysema was about 2½ times greater than normal in white miners (about 22½ expected, 56 seen).
The risk of emphysema could possibly have been related to smoking. People who smoke are more likely to get emphysema.
Other significant causes
White miners had a greater risk of death from injuries. The risk of injuries was about 2 times normal (about 68 expected and 143 seen).
White miners also had a greater risk of death from "benign and unspecified cancers" and "diseases related to the blood". Both of these categories had small numbers and the results were of borderline significance. Therefore, the confidence of the results is not high.
Among white miners, the total number of deaths was greater than expected. This was an unusual finding because working people are usually healthier than the general population.
What the Study Found for Non-White Miners
Researchers are more confident of the results of studies involving thousands of people. The non-white study group was somewhat small (757).
Because of its size, we may have missed some other illnesses connected to mining in this group.
Risks for death were lower, in general, among non-white miners than white miners.
The risk for lung cancer was 3 times greater than normal in non-white miners (about 10 expected, 34 seen). This was mainly due to exposure to radon gas or its decay products radon daughters in the mines.
The longer miners worked or the greater their exposure to radon daughters ( as measured by working level months), the greater the risk for lung cancer.
Smoking also causes lung cancer. White miners who smoked were more likely to get lung cancer than nonsmokers. Non-white miners smoked much less than white miners. This probably protected them from having even higher lung cancer rates.
The risk for other lung diseases was 2½ times higher than normal in non white miners (about 8 expected, 20 seen). This category includes many different lung diseases. They include those caused by breathing in mining dust, such as silicosis. Silicosis causes severe breathing problems.
The longer miners worked, the more likely they were to develop one of these lung diseases.
The risk of TB was about 2½ times greater than in non-white miners (about 4½ expected, 12 seen).
Total Deaths
Unlike white miners, non-white miners had slightly fewer than expected total deaths.
We don't know why the white miners had greater risks than non-white miners.
However, we think that the white miners' greater risk of lung cancer and lung disease was because many more of them smoked than non-white miners.
Thank You to Study Participants
The PHS/NIOSH study helped us learn more about the hazards of uranium mining. It has helped to bring about badly needed improvements in mining conditions. It also has helped to answer other questions about radon exposure.
The main question is what level of radon in the basements of some homes is hazardous.
If you have any questions about this study or would like a copy of the technical reports, call the NIOSH toll-free number: 800-356-4674
This section has information for former miners today.
Even though former uranium miners have an elevated risk for certain diseases, that does not mean that you will get one. Also, there are steps you can take right now that will help prevent these diseases.
Smoking is terrible for the lungs and causes lung cancer, especially in people exposed to radon gas. If you smoke, NIOSH recommends that you quit. Even if you have smoked for a long time, stopping now will improve your health.
See your doctor if you have trouble breathing, cough continuously, or feel very tired. Take a copy of these materials to your doctor.
Ask your doctor about having a simple skin test for tuberculosis (TB).
Eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day may help prevent lung cancer.

Odia Cinema, Indian Regional Movies
Colloquially known as Ollywood, the industry of Odia Cinema is based in Cuttack and is a popular on the regional basis.
Oriya Cinema Actresses (1)
History of Oriya Cinema
Oriya Movie Directors
Seeta Bibaha
Odia Cinema did not emerge in the era of silent movies. In 1974, the Government of Odisha declared film making and construction of cinema theatres as an industry in the state and 2 years later in 1976, it established the Odisha Film Development Corporation in Cuttack. Also known as Ollywood, the name is a portmanteau of the words Olly and Hollywood.
History of Odia Cinema
The history of Odia cinema is of a glorious past. The first Odia film 'Sita Bibaha' was released in the year 1936 and was an important part of the struggle for a manifestation of Odia cultural identity in celluloid form and it is a movable history. The film was a mythological drama by Mohan Sunder Deb Goswami, who not only directed but also produced and acted in this film.
The pace of Odia film production in the initial years was very slow. After Sita Bibaha, only two films were produced until 1951. A joint consortium of landlords and businessmen who collected funds after 1948 produced those two movies. The 1951 production of Roles to Eight was the first Odia film with an English name. It was released 15 years after the first Odia film, Sita Bibaha. It was the fourth Odia film produced by Ratikant Padhi.
Almost after 15 years of the release of Sita Bibaha another Odia film in the serious stream was released in 1966, Matira Manisha. It bagged the National Award, this film was directed by Mrinal Sen. His example was an encouragement enough for other film directors to follow suit. Awareness for serious filmmakers also received a boost. Social melodramas and mythological films were made in the meantime for the regional audiences. Since then several talented Odia actors and actresses have served the film industry. It is due to their contributions and the efforts on the part of the Odia directors that the Odia films received recognition.
Some of the Odia films are Lalita (1949), Saptasaiya (1950), Amari Gaan Jhua (1953), Kedar Gouri (1954), Mahalakshmi Pooja (1959), Nua Bou (1962), Sadhana (1964), Manikajodi (1964), Amada Bata (1964), Malajanha (1965), Kaa (1966), Adina Megha (1970), Mana Akasha (1974), Abhimaan (1977), Punar Milan (1977), Jalal Adeni (1977), Agni Pareeksha (1980), Akshi Tritiya (1981), ), Jwain Pua (1982), Babula (1985), Bagula Baguli (1986), Jorjar Mulak Tar (1987), Ashok Sharma (1988), Kanyadaan (1988), Andha Diganta (1989), Akasar Akhi (1989), Asuchi Mo kalia Sune (1989), Dora (1993), Jibana Dhara (1995), Jhilli (1996) and many more in the modern era of Odia Cinema.
Odia Cinema of Modern Age
One of the most sensitive films made in the 1900s was Malajanha (1965). It was directed by Nitai Palit. This Odia film is a sensitive melodrama about an unmarried couple in which the woman ends up committing suicide because of the persecution of the people of her village. Another musical drama, Arundhati (1967) also made an impact with the audiences. It was directed by Prafulla Sengupta.
Odia Film in National Hemisphere
The first Odia film that bagged the National award was Sri Lokenath in the year 1960; it was the directorial venture of the reputed Odia director Prafulla Sengupta. This was a great achievement as far as Odia films were concerned as the industry till then was in a nascent stage. In this very year Prasantha Nanda also fetched the National Award as best actor for the film Nau Bau. With two National awards in hand the Odia film industry appeared on the national level. Prasantha Nanda went ahead and became one of the most celebrated stars in the Odia film industry. He was an actor, director, screenplay writer, and lyricist and even as a playback singer. He has contributed greatly to the development of the Odia films.

Defending the HUB TV: What Really Happened This Morning
By Doug Dooling, Jr.
I can't believe that I am actually doing this, but I am about to defend the big-screen TV in the HUB.
Once the Freeh press conference was over, one of the stories to emerge off the beaten path regarded the television system in the "Penn State student center." The Philadelphia Inquirer's Melissa Dribben reported that as the report was about to be announced, the televisions went blank and then turned to public access television. One first-year student, Mary Krupa, wondered if the administration had engaged in a conspiracy to prevent students from learning about the Freeh Report. Students tried to change the channel, but the individual in control of the remote could not be reached because of a meeting. Deadspin, CBS Sports and Big Lead Sports all picked up the story.
Clearly this is a sign of foul treachery.
No. No it is not. Yellow journalism has once again inspired "journalists" to write unsubstantiated rumors about Penn State culture. Here is my account. I arrived at the first floor of the HUB around 8:30 and went to the helpdesk. I asked the clerk if someone could change the channel to PCN when Louis Freeh's press conference would start at 10:00. He nodded and said someone would do it. For the next half-hour, I listened to the banter from bottom-of-the-barrel anchors of the CNN morning program. They chatted about sharks, movies, and Romney's appearance at the NAACP. At 8:59, a blue screen of death emerged on the screen, and it changed to PCN in anticipation for the press conference an hour later. For the visiting reporters and freshmen, it must have been a shock for them to learn that one does not simply change the HUB TV. While they were running around like headless chickens, I took the time to read the Freeh Report.
There was no plot afoot. Whomever was in charge of the television at the time knew that s/he would be in a meeting, and left the TV on a channel that was guaranteed to have the press conference. CNN never assured its viewers it would air Freeh's presentation or the question-and-answer portion. If the supervisor had left on news' worldwide leader (currently ranked third), the audience would have been delighted to an hour of jumped conclusions from the same network that informed us that Healthcare Reform had been fully repealed.
There was no plot to prevent students from learning about the Freeh Commission's report. It'd be foolish for the university to engage in a cover-up at this point, and even more foolish to think that the Penn State administration doesn't know this by now. For once, the HUB TV is the target of uncalled for criticism.

Pole Vaulter Derek Miles Awarded Olympic Bronze Medal For 2008 Beijing Games
By Scott McDonald | April 17, 2017, 3:23 p.m. (ET)
Derek Miles is accompanied by University of South Dakota pole vaulters to receive his bronze medal from the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games at the DakotaDome Club in Vermillion, S.D.
Derek Miles didn't expect much fanfare when he received his long overdue Olympic bronze medal Monday morning in Vermillion, South Dakota. He figured four or five relatives might show up, he would get his medal, say thanks and go on his way to celebrate.
Download the Team USA app today for breaking news, Olympic and Paralympic team bios, videos and more.
But nearly 100 people found their way to the University of South Dakota's DakotaDome Club to watch his medal ceremony. Members of the United States Olympic Committee joined U.S. Senator John Thune to speak, and then Miles spoke before accepting the medal from Thune.
"As the only person to get a C in freshman year speech class, this is the scariest thing I've ever done to follow these polished speakers," Miles said at the ceremony also carried on Facebook live.
Miles finished fourth in pole vault at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, just behind Ukrainian Denys Yurchenko, who took home the bronze. However, the International Olympic Committee disqualified the results of a handful of athletes from the 2008 Games, including Yurchenko, after finding positive results in retested doping samples.
Miles and other Americans like Chaunte Lowe and Shalane Flanagan will be honored at the 2017 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Assembly scheduled for Oct. 12-13 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where they'll also receive reallocated medals.
Sen. Thune said in the fall of 2016 he first read the report of Olympic athletes getting their medals stripped, and he wanted to "right this wrong."
"I was talking to my staff about this, and I said we have a real life example of this in South Dakota," Thune said at the ceremony. "We have a pole vaulter who is a bronze medalist, and he isn't going to get that medal, or we don't know if he's ever going to get that medal."
Miles also competed in the Athens 2004 Games and the London 2012 Games. He was ranked in the top 10 in the United States for 13 consecutive years starting in 2000, and he was one of the best in the world for part of that time. He was the 2008 and 2011 U.S. outdoor champion, and he won the 2008 world title.
"When I heard them read off your record," Thune said while acknowledging Miles, "you were a stud for a long time."
Thune said his staff began working with U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun and other USOC members to secure the medal and bring it to Vermillion.
Blackmun kicked off the ceremony by thanking Thune, who works closely year round with the USOC and helps enforce the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act.
"Senator, it's an honor to be here with you and pay tribute to one of South Dakota's world-class athletes," Blackmun said. "Derek embodies everything that the Olympic movement stands for. As a student-athlete here at the University of South Dakota, the five-time all-American in the pole vault, he went on to become one of the best pole vaulters in the world for more than a decade.
"He was and continues to be an ambassador for the values and ideals of the Olympic movement."
Miles, who vaulted 5.70 meters at the 2008 Games, didn't take long to break down while thanking his family and coaches who helped him along the way.
"I would like to think I'm lucky," said Miles, a former USD athlete now in his 14th year as an assistant coach at his alma mater. "It had nothing to do with luck, but surrounding myself with amazing people. Anybody who's had success in life, they're surrounded by amazing people."
He still believes he should have won a medal on the track in Beijing.
"I was jumping well enough to win it that day," Miles said.
After speaking, Thune presented the medal to Miles, and the Olympic-themed music blasted through speakers, giving the fans a microcosm of the Olympic experience.

Attorney General Saab: Hierarchy of the Catholic Church Covered Up Crimes of the Priest Assassinated in Tachira
The Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, said that the hierarchy of the Catholic Church allegedly covered up the pedophilia crimes of the priest Jesus Manuel Rondón Molina, killed in Táchira on January 20 by one of his victims.
When offering a press conference on the actions of the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) in defense of girls, boys and adolescents, the Attorney General said that after having carried out the corresponding inquiry, the abuse committed by Rondón Molina against the adolescent who confessed having killed him and, additionally, it was verified that his younger brother – threatened with death by the priest – was also abused.
On January 22, the Minister of Internal Relations, Néstor Reverol, reported that the young man confessed to the security agencies that he had strangled the priest for having sexually abused him, since the age of 14 years old, and for threatening to also perform lascivious acts against his 10 year old brother.

"It follows from the investigations that the presbyter's behavior was repeated and known to his superiors. At least 2 more children filed complaints against the church in 2014 and 2015," said Saab.
The Attorney General said that, although the aggressor was followed by an internal process that decided to expel him from the priesthood," it is extremely serious that no adequate measures were taken so that this abuser would not continue attacking his victims."
He also revealed that this behavior of the priest was "repeated, permanent and customary."
Faced with this crime, the Public Ministry authorized telephone lines 0212 5098684 and 0800-FISCA-00 for the population to denounce those actions that jeopardize the safety and integrity of children and adolescents.

"Pedophilia Island"
The Attorney General compared what happened, with the events committed by Jeffrey Epstein, an American businessman responsible for running, in one of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea, a center for child trafficking and prostitution used by dozens of businessmen and politicians around the world, which became known as the "pedophilia island".
There were minors and women in poverty, who were kidnapped or deceived through intermediaries, and forced to "work" there by providing sexual services, prostituting themselves or being raped in an impressive network of human trafficking of which complaints are still received and new discoveries are being made.
Saab guaranteed that the Venezuelan government will not allow events such as those carried out by Epstein to occur in Venezuela.
Saab reported that since his arrival at the Public Ministry to date, 8,966 cases of sexual abuse against children and adolescents have been admitted; 837 arrest warrants have been requested, 4,335 people were charged, 3,289 accused and 1,340 people received convictions.

Ripple Opens Office In Toronto, Pledges To Hire 100 Employees
During a branch opening event, Ripple has revealed plans to hire hundreds of employees within the next few years. The announcement emanated after Ripple fulfilled its promises of opening a branch in Toronto and hiring fifty experts. Recall that the promises hit the media space around June. As indicated, the latest development underlines Ripple's commitment to expanding despite its ongoing tussle with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Notably, the CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, reflected on the development. According to him, the presence of Ripple in Toronto is a strategic one. Garlinghouse portrays Toronto as a region with excellent engineering talent. He indicated that the firm chose the region as its engineering hub due to that attribute.
Accordingly, the CEO divulged that Ripple would hire about fifty (50) staff for its Toronto branch. He added that the number would increase by 100 and 200 yearly. Meanwhile, Garlinghouse disclosed that the reason for the expansion isn't about the decentralization of assets alone. He opined that talent is becoming decentralized.
#ICYMI We kicked off the opening of our Toronto office in style! 😎
Hear @bgarlinghouse share our plans to hire 50+ engineers this year, and learn about the 72-hour Decode/Code cryptographic challenge that we hosted. https://t.co/eBo0RyRsAp pic.twitter.com/bf926nL2kp
— Ripple (@Ripple) July 31, 2022
During the event, the firm's staff aired their opinion about the position and benefits of working with Ripple. A software expert working with Ripple, Mohit Doshi, illuminated his opinion about the firm. According to Doshi, the size of the engineering team isn't huge, though the current number is efficient to cater to the needs of Ripple in Toronto. Also, the expert recalled how the organization often aid engineers to be innovative and contribute to projects. Additionally, Moshi, alongside other members, conveys that the team has encouraged members to give their all to the firm.
How Ripple's Office In Toronto Underlines Its Refusal To Bow To Pressure
Ripple has refused to bow to the implication of the market and the effects of its tussle with the SEC. With the office in Toronto, Ripple aims to enhance its operations in North America and other regions. Remarkably, around March, the firm pledged about $790 million to a developer program on its ledger. As revealed, the fund is to help assist developers in actualizing their projects. However, the pledged funds will be disbursed within 10-20 years.
Recently, the firm signed a partnership deal with a Singapore payment firm, FOMOPay. As reported by Binbits, the partnership will aid FOMOPay in leveraging the on-Demand liquidity by Ripple. The development will help the firm in executing transactions swiftly.

NYPD rookie killed on duty wrote that he wanted to 'better the relationship' between cops and community
A rookie NYPD officer who was shot to death while on duty last Friday night wrote in a letter before joining the force that he wanted to "better the relationship between the community and the police."
The letter, written by the late Officer Jason Rivera to the commanding officer of the police academy in 2020, and obtained by the New York Post, reads, "When I applied to become a police officer, I knew this was the career for me. Coming from an immigrant family, I will be the first to say that I am a member of the NYPD, the greatest police force in the world," Rivera wrote.
He wrote of his experiences watching the way his community interacted with law enforcement, and "realized that [he] wanted to be a part of the men in blue: [to] better the relationship between the community and the police." He continued, "Something as small as helping a tourist with directions, or helping a couple resolve an issue will put a smile on someone's face."
Rivera was killed while responding to a domestic violence call in Harlem, when a man opened the apartment door to the officers and opened fire, killing Rivera and wounding another officer. The suspect was also wounded during the gunfire exchange, and was in critical condition at Harlem Hospital on Saturday.

Dealing With Various Themes And Issues
Choosing To Learn Spanish
December 16, 2010 May 7, 2008 by Affleap
Spanish language is the second most used language in international communication and one of the official languages of the United Nations and its organizations.
By speaking this language you will be actually communicating with almost five hundred million people worldwide.
Spanish is the mother tongue of approximately three hundred fifty million people in twenty one countries.
It is the official language not only in Spain, but also in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and most of the countries in South America.
A notable number of university students choose to enroll in Spanish class as their second language.
The increasing number of Spanish speaking population has created global demand for Spanish language television, radio and newspaper.
Spanish is also the second language in the United States so that in the US job market, a bilingual applicant proficient in both Spanish and English will not only get better chances but better pays as well.
By learning Spanish, you will undoubtedly have a better understanding of the rich Spanish and Latin American cultures.
Latin culture has global influence on architecture, arts and literature to wit: Gaudi in architecture; Picasso, Velasquez, Doli, Goya and Miro in painting; Cervantes, Allende and Marquez in literature;
Salsa, Meringue, Flamenco, Tango and Rumba in dance; and some names who carved their niche in show business like actors Penelope Cruz, Selma Hayek, Antonio Banderas , Jennifer Lopez; singers Julio Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Mark Anthony, Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Gloria Estefan and Mariah Carey.
It is interesting to note, that Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes is the second most translated book in the world after the bible and it is available in sixty languages.
As the world we live in becomes more like a global community, speaking in a foreign language like Spanish which is considered the second most used language in the planet has become more increasingly important.
Hence, it would be appropriate to say that Spanish is the language for global communication after the English language.

Edinburgh review: The Duke (Pleasance Courtyard)
You'll not find a show with a bigger heart at the Fringe this year
Matt Trueman
Shon Dale-Jones in The Duke
Shôn Dale-Jones is the Fringe's resident optimist. The Welshman's usual alter-ego, Hugh Hughes, personifies wonder. He delights in life's littlest things. Lately though, as radio reports of the refugee crisis cut into his days, Dale-Jones has struggled to hold onto that outlook – "no longer able to see the world I once did." Hugh Hughes isn't here this year.
The Duke questions the value of art – not just what it's worth, but whether it's worthwhile. Performed for free, it's just Dale-Jones at a desk with a story; a show that spins something from nothing.
It fuses three threads of his life together. Weighed down by the world, Dale-Jones is trying to finish a screenplay; an adaptation of his old Fringe show Floating that's taken a decade of his life. His investors want changes - big changes. Not beaches, but rooftop pools; not the Anglesey, but Manhattan. As many Audi TT Coupes as he can cram in. Big changes mean big bucks, but big bucks mean big changes.
In 1974, Dale-Jones' father paid £750 – about £8,000 in today's terms – for a Royal Worcester porcelain of the Duke of Wellington on horseback. One of a set of four, it stayed wrapped in sponge under his bed, slowly accumulating value. A decade after his death, his wife calls her son. "I've only gone and broken the Duke," she flusters.
Despite that looming script deadline, Dale-Jones tries to track down a replacement – a treasure hunt driven not by financial value, but sentimental value. Along the way, as investors and collectors appear alongside friends and family, it turns that question of art's value over and over, inside and out.
Dale-Jones has long treasured a line by Louis Buñuel: "Fantasy and reality are equally personal, and equally felt, so their confusion is only a matter of relative importance." The Duke blends the two beautifully; a case of form and content combining. Just as current events intrude on his headspace, his story swirls fact into fiction, stretching a truth to improbable lengths. His lightness of touch means you can't see the divide, and he recounts every moment with such urgency and investment that the distinction becomes irrelevant. Both are equally felt.
That's Dale-Jones' secret; how he lifts life's gloom for a while. He makes the real world seem wondrous and, in that, The Duke is its own antidote: art that alleviates, but also art that does its bit. Rather than presuming to lecture and guilt-trip us, it gently sets us thinking, then provides buckets for donations to Save the Children. This is art that practices its preaching: made for nothing, but doing something. And delighting as it does, just as art should. You won't find a show with a bigger, better heart anywhere on the Fringe.
The Duke runs at the Pleasance Courtyard at 3.30pm until 29 August (except 15), then transfers to the Unicorn and the Royal Court in the autumn.
