Crime & Courts | Federal Government | Nation & World | NPR NewsNotorious drug lord ‘El Chapo’ pleads not guilty to federal chargesJanuary 20, 2017 by Merrit Kennedy, NPR Share:For decades, U.S. authorities have been preparing to prosecute one of the world’s most feared drug traffickers, known as El Chapo.Today, the Justice Department announced charges against Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera following his extradition from Mexico to the United States. He landed Thursday evening on Long Island, N.Y., and this afternoon entered a plea of not guilty at a federal court in Brooklyn.“Today marks a milestone in our pursuit of Chapo Guzman,” said Robert Capers, the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn. “So who is Chapo Guzman? In short, he’s a man known for no other life than a life of crime, violence, death and destruction. And now he’ll have to answer to that. That’s who Chapo Guzman is.”The Associated Press described the scene: “Holding his unshackled hands behind his back, Guzman appeared calm and collected as he gave yes and no answers, through an interpreter, to a judge’s questions.”In a statement, acting U.S. Attorney General Sally Yates called him the “alleged leader of a multi-billion dollar, multi-national criminal enterprise that funneled drugs onto our streets and violence and misery into our communities.”Prosecutors are seeking life in prison and a $14 billion forfeiture in drug proceeds and illicit profits from the drug trafficking kingpin. The 17-count indictment accuses El Chapo of operating a continuing criminal enterprise which included murder conspiracy, other drug-related crimes including money laundering, and use of firearms.“As part of the extradition process, we had to assure the Mexican government that the death penalty would not be sought,” Capers said.The allegations date back to the 1980s. Guzman, 59, is accused of leading the Sinaloa drug cartel, which became the world’s largest drug trafficking organization.The indictment alleges that Guzman “directed a large sale narcotics transportation network involving the use of land, air and sea transportation assets, shipping multi-ton quantities of cocaine from South America, through Central America and Mexico, and finally into the United States.”The billions in profits were then “laundered back to Mexico,” according to the court documents. Guzman, along with other cartel leaders, allegedly hired hitmen “who carried out hundreds of acts of violence, including murders, assaults, kidnappings, and acts of torture at the direction of the defendants.”The Mexican government has approved the U.S. request to prosecute these charges, which were filed in a federal court in New York, the Justice Department added.As NPR’s Carrie Kahn reports from Mexico City:“Mexico had at one point said it would not extradite Guzman and would have him stand trial for his crimes at home. That was shortly after a second arrest in 2014. But the government reversed itself after being embarrassed by Guzman’s brazen escape from Mexico’s maximum security prison in the summer of 2015.“From a hole that began [in the shower floor] in Guzman’s prison cell, the drug lord climbed down a ladder and then rode a rigged motorcycle through a mile-long tunnel to freedom. Guzman remained on the run for nearly six months. During that time, he met secretly with Mexican actress Kate del Castillo and U.S. actor Sean Penn.“Shortly after, though, and partly due to his meeting with the stars, Mexican officials caught up with Guzman, capturing him in January of last year. This time officials immediately began extradition procedures. Guzman’s lawyers have been fighting it ever since. He lost his final appeal this week.”El Chapo has eluded law enforcement for decades, as William F. Sweeney, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office, told reporters.U.S. officials vowed that Guzman won’t escape again.“He’s about to face American justice. … And I assure you, no tunnel will be built leading to his bathroom,” said Angel Melendez, special agent in charge of ICE Homeland Security Investigations in New York CityNPR correspondent Joel Rose in New York contributed to this report.Copyright 2017 NPR.

Alaska Native Arts & Culture | SouthwestLISTEN: Bristol Bay communities sing for Orthodox ChristmasJanuary 11, 2021 by Izzy Ross, KDLG – Dillingham Share:The only person to star in St. Seraphim of Sarov’s Orthodox Church. Friday, Jan. 8, 2021. (Photo by Izzy Ross/KDLG)Audio Playerhttps://media.ktoo.org/2021/01/08slaviicelebrate_pkg.mp300:0000:0000:00Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.A small group of people sings through cloth masks. It’s slavii at St. Seraphim of Sarov’s Orthodox Church in Dillingham. At the front of the church, a boy is spinning a star decorated with tinsel. Normally, he’d be surrounded by others doing the same.Father Jason Isaac is the rector in Dillingham. Despite restrictions, he said, the spirit of the celebration hasn’t changed.“I’m very surprised to see the joy. The message of Christ being born will always be celebrated joyously,” he said. “With this year being different because of COVID-19, the people are still trying to bring joy to each other by singing here the carols.”Carolers twirl bright tinsel stars in households around their communities. Some travel to other villages as well. “Starring” symbolizes the birth of Christ and ushers in the new year.Slavii is a Russian Orthodox tradition in what’s now Ukraine. But it has a long history in Alaska and Bristol Bay specifically. Carols here are sung in Slavonic, an archaic Russian dialect used by the Orthodox Church, but also Yup’ik and English. People usually go from house to house to sing, visit, eat and rest.“Throughout the days up to (Jan.) 13, they’ll be going outside people’s homes, singing carols as they did once a long long time ago,” he said.Dora Andrew-Ihrke is a parishioner at the Holy Resurrection Church in Aleknagik. She’s celebrated slavii for seven decades.“We elaborately decorate a star that we twirl in memory of the star that the wise men followed,” she said. “We go from house to house in remembrance of that, celebrating Christ’s birth.”Andrew-Ihrke has strong memories of slavii when she was young.“We went by dog team in Aleknagik,” she said. “We didn’t necessarily travel to villages ’till later years when we had my dad’s car and could go on the road from Aleknagik to Dillingham. Which enabled us to then fly to where our relatives were, where the strongest church was, and that was at New Stuyahok.”They also traveled to Ekwok, Koliganek, Clark’s Point and Ekuk. In later years, they went east to visit Igiugig and Iliamna.This year, Andrew-Ihrke said they are turning to technology to bring music into their homes.“I told my family that they can celebrate by having the songs sung at our house tonight. We can use our phones and sing to various important people,” she said.Instead of going to homes, Andrew-Ihrke shared a message from Matrona Gallear, an Elder who’s in her 80s.“She also wanted me to voice that the church is praying for all people in Bristol Bay, and to say Plassniku, Praznikum, happy Russian Christmas Day,” Andrew-Ihrke said.Worshippers in Dillingham will star at cemeteries and outside of homes throughout the holiday.Share this story:
By Alex Lennane 26/03/2015 Air cargo players have expressed fears over escalating costs if Kale Logistics’ plans to roll out its GMAX platform to other airports comes to pass.But as Mumbai Airport this morning hosted the first of its GMAX Workshops, also scheduled for tomorrow and Monday, to help air cargo stakeholders work with the new e-freight platform, the IT company defended its system.The GMAX system, which brings e-freight to the airport, has been controversial, as users must pay a charge of $4.60 per shipment – which could cost Indian exporters some $5m per year. Fears over the price of e-freight globally have heightened, after Kale admitted it would like to roll out similar systems in other airports.Kale insists that GMAX is voluntary – but according to a document on its own website, the opt-out version is complicated and involves several convoluted steps involving queueing at various counters. Sources indicate that the non-GMAX process is very slow – and therefore not a viable option. Forwarders who chose not to participate in the new system were denied access to GMAX, which initially launched at the end of 2013, from the end of November 2014. Kale has worked hard to quell concerns about GMAX, forming a Governing Council made up of members and associations at the end of last year to help work through some of the issues raised by forwarders.Some participants have questioned why there is a standard charge rather than a menu of charges which reflect what is used, such as in Dubai, but a source at Kale said that model didn’t make sense because all the options were needed. Kale also argued that there were hidden costs to forwarders in the old system.“Many costs were taken for granted,” said senior vice president Vineet Makhotra. “It took an average of 12 calls to get through the process before – so that is a cost that was not even seen by companies. Now, it’s a known cost, not just an incurred cost.”Kale said it was talking with companies to find out whether it could make the process better for “the smaller guys”.“It’s an ongoing exercise.”One source at a company resistant to GMAX charges and processes said he was concerned that Kale would try to roll out this model elsewhere, thus essentially making e-freight a needlessly expensive way of implementing efficiencies.Kale acknowledged that it does “want to do a similar model elsewhere, but it depends on the airport”. It won the concession at Mumbai, and said it is looking at other airports, both in and outside of India.A source concerned about any widening of the scheme questioned whether IATA, which has been pushing e-freight across the industry as a way of increasing efficiencies and cutting costs, was aware of how much the initiative could cost the global industry if schemes like this were put in place by IT providers around the world.Glyn Hughes, IATA Cargo chief, told The Loadstar: “IATA applauds all technology initiatives and multi-party platforms which aim to increase efficiency, add to data connectivity and support industry programmes to increase reliability, transparency and predictability in the supply chain. “Technology should be an enabler rather than a blocker, so we also encourage direct connectivity when it is desired by business partners.“Technology providers and platforms have an incredibly important role to play in helping the air cargo industry modernize and innovate and by making technology solutions available to those that require it increases the ability of more stakeholders to benefit from these efficiencies.“However, we equally feel that those who have existing effective and functioning technology solutions should not be forced to use community platforms and incur additional costs, thus a policy of optional usage is desirable.”
RELATEDTOPICS It only took one blood donation to save Marcos Perez’s life.He’s now paid that donation forward more than 960 times, CNN reports.According to the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center, his blood has helped over 3,000 people.“Mr. Perez’s story is very moving and emotional because you know why he does it — it saved his life, ” said Roger Ruiz, corporate communications specialist for nonprofit BioBridge Global. Perez first donated blood while still in high school. He said after serving four years in the Air Force, he began donating plasma and platelets on a regular basis.Now, over 37 years later, Perez is celebrating his 962nd donation which puts him in a rare category of blood donors — it marked his 120th gallon of blood given.“Mr. Perez is an unusual case because you don’t have too many 100-gallon donors,” said Ruiz. “He’s saving lives every day.”Perez donates plasma and platelets instead of whole blood because it allows him to donate up to 24 times a year. Perez said he plans to continue to donate every two weeks until “they say you can’t,” and hopes others will follow his lead.“One man can’t do it alone. We need to all work together. If we all work together and everybody goes to donate, those shelves will be fully stocked.”Roll up and make a differenceThe last year has been particularly hard for blood banks.Ruiz said that blood banks across the country, not just in southern Texas where Perez lives, are in dire need of donations.“The pandemic has really hurt us, and across the United States blood drives have been canceled because of the pandemic and social distancing,” Ruiz said. “We definitely need more people like Mr. Perez to please step up and donate.”The South Texas Blood and Tissue Center plans to recognize Mr. Perez and two other 100-plus gallon donors when they come in to give blood on the same day, according to CNN.“It’s like the all-stars of blood donors coming together for one time. You have your Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan and Tom Brady coming together to do what they do best and give blood.”Ruiz is quick to point out that you don’t have to be a superstar athlete or superhero to make a difference. All you have to do is roll up your sleeve.“We don’t all wear capes, but this is one way we can all be heroes for our community.” Ruiz added, “If Mr. Perez’s story moves you, please call your local blood center, set up a donation and be the next 100-gallon donor.”The-CNN-Wire™ & © 2021 Cable News Network, Inc., a WarnerMedia Company.

The ministry shall also actively engage with the state governments, the state health ministers and principals of various medical colleges. Additionally, this shall be taken forward with the frontline health functionaries that implement the National Health Mission (NHM) in close association with the communities.The thrust for popularising Fit India movement shall now see convergence of activities of both the Ministries, as the goal of this national movement is to encourage people towards positive, preventive and promotive health and wellness, Dr Vardhan stated. This becomes all the more significant as world over the burden of non-communicable disease is growing due to our changing patter of lifestyle. “Fitness forms an integral part of wellness, and with this in view we have already included various activities such as yoga, meditation, daily physical activities, jumba etc., in the Ayushman Bharat Health & Wellness centres (HWCs) across the country,” Dr Vardhan said. In some states such as Gujarat, Shirodhara is also practised in some HWCs.“Even simple actions such as walking, cycling, stretching during our office and work hours, along with gyming and jogging help in keeping us fit and healthy,” he added. Encouraging people to adopt healthy lifestyle with healthy eating habits has been one of the primary focus of the health ministry, he said. “We have launched the ‘Eat Right India’ initiative of FSSAI which has seen various promotional activities being rolled out, including the ongoing Eat Right Mela at Jawaharlal Nehra Stadium,” Dr Vardhan stated. FSSAI is also creating awareness about transfats in processed foods.Preeti Sudan, Secretary, Health & Family Welfare, Radheyshyam Julaniya, Sports Secretary, Pawan Agarwal, CEO, FSSAI and senior officers of the Health Ministry were also present during the meeting.
