Super-Fly star back in action against Cortes on Saturday night

Juan Francisco Estrada is ‘excited’ to be back in action and ready to put on a show when he defends his WBC Franchise and Ring Magazine World Super-Flyweight titles against Argi Cortes on Saturday September 3 from Centro de Usos Multiples in Hermosillo, Mexico and broadcast live to all subscribers worldwide on DAZN. Estrada (42-3 28 KOs) makes a welcome return to action almost 18 months after edging out Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez in their epic rematch in Dallas in March 2021. ‘El Gallo’ welcomes Cortes to his hometown and the same arena he stopped Dewayne Beamon in August 2019, and the Hermosillo hero will want to put on another show for his fans. Cortes (23-2-2 10 KOs) lands the biggest fight of his career in his 28th pro outing, with the Mexico City man aiming upset his fellow countryman and become a household name overnight. The Super-Flyweight landscape is as exciting as ever, with Chocolatito holding the WBC Diamond strap, up and coming superstar Jesse Rodriguez producing stunning wins over Carlos Cuadras and Srisaket Sor Rungvisai so far this year and a host of talents at 112 and 115lbs itching to test themselves against the best – so 32 year old Estrada is looking to remind the world that he’s the top dog. “I am very excited for this show, where we can finally get into the ring after more than a year without fighting,” said Estrada. “I expect a difficult rival, I know that Argi will arrive very well prepared, and will have a man in the corner who knows everything, everyone, with great experience and achievements like Don Nacho Beristain. “But we have made a great preparation and that I have enjoyed a lot, because for the first time in six years, I have had a camp without injuries, and that has me very motivated for this fight and whatever comes next. There are so many great fights out there and I cannot wait to return. “I hope the fans join us on Saturday. My fight against Cortés will be a war, and the rest of the fight card will be very competitive and exciting with two more World championships, very good prospects, hometown talent with my teammates here Christian Olivo and Omar Salcido present. It will be a historic event that people cannot miss, I hope to see all my people at the arena.” There are two more World title bouts on the bill, starting with the long-awaited rematch between Erika Cruz and Jelena Mrdjenovich for the WBA World Featherweight title. Cruz (14-1 3 KOs) ripped the title from long-time champion Mrdjenovich (41-11-2 19 KOs) in April 2021, with the Mexican ending the five-year rule of the Canadian on the cards after an accidental headclash halted the contest after seven rounds. Cruz successfully defended the belt in Puerto Vallarta in November via split decision over Melissa Esquivel, while the former champion returns for the first time since the first battle. The vacant IBF World Flyweight title is on the line between unbeaten pair Hector Flores and Sivenathi Nontshinga. Both men taste their first World title action as Tijuana’s Flores (20-0-4 10 KOs) builds on his victory over Welsh World title challenger Jay Harris in Wales in November, while hard-punching Nontshinga (10-0 9 KOs) fights outside his native South Africa for the first time and comes into the bout on the back of his first points win in his tenth bout having beaten his previous nine foes inside the distance. Also featuring on the card is Super-Featherweight dangerman Eduardo Hernandez, defending his WBC Silver International title against Jorge Mata. Hernandez (32-1 29 KOs) pulled off a stunning victory last time out, blitzing Jorge Castaneda inside a round in Guadalajara in June to land the title he defends against Mata (14-0-2 10 KOs), the unbeaten 21 year old Tijuana native who fights for his first pro title.

The morning of May 18th, eight high school students and two teachers lost their lives in Santa Fe, Texas, the sixth fatal school shooting of 2018. That same night, a woman was killed on the campus of Mount Zion High School in Jonesboro, Georgia. The students leave behind empty desks and diplomas. They all leave futures and families and friends, a painful collection of what-ifs. Each of their stories is unique, yet they each converge on a painful truth: They died at one of our schools. We said, “Never again.” But again is now. Today, we add the names of the most recent victims to our list of those we’ve lost in school shootings since Columbine. This list serves to keep our collective memory of these victims alive, but it also reminds us of the terrible human cost of gun violence; the terrible cost of insufficient support for troubled young people; and the terrible cost of our national complacency., eight high school students and two teachers lost their lives in Santa Fe, Texas, the sixth fatal school shooting of 2018.

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald passes along a veritable treasure trove of notes for Dolphins fans today, so let’s dive right in: * Although free agent acquisition Jordan Mills was disappointing in minicamp and was replaced at right tackle by Jesse Davis, Jackson says the Dolphins are still very much open to having Mills man the RT position. The club will give him a chance to redeem himself in training camp and may elect to keep Davis at guard, where he played last year. Zach Sterup is also in the mix for the right tackle job. * Jackson believes that running back Kenyan Drake has been woefully underutilized to date and that he should be getting 12 to 18 carries a game. Pro Football Focus’ advanced metrics support Jackson’s opinion, citing Drake’s ability to win after early contact and force missed tackles. However, PFF also says Kalen Ballage should serve as Miami’s primary third-down/receiving back, which Jackson’s eye test does not support. Jackson says Ballage looked “unnatural” as a receiver out of the backfield during the club’s offseason program, and he even says the embattledMark Walton could be the Dolphins’ best receiving back. Drake and Ballage will have plenty of opportunity to prove their worth in 2019, which is an especially crucial year for Drake, a 2020 free agent. * UDFAs often have a better chance of cracking the roster of a rebuilding team like the Dolphins then they would on a club with playoff aspirations, and Jackson says Miami hopes at least one of the its undrafted defensive linemen —Dewayne HendrixandJonathan Ledbetter— will make the cut. Ledbetter, one of the best collegiate DEs at stopping the run, is attempting to diversify his game by refining his pass rush skills. * The team also has several UDFA cornerbacks that merit some attention, and the new coaching staff had plenty of luck developing that type of prospect in New England. 2018 UDFA Jalen Davis flashed in minicamp this year, and while the Dolphins have taken a look at him both outside the numbers and in the slot, his size (5-10, 185) may make him better-suited to a slot role. #DewayneHendrix #JalenDavis #JesseDavis

Is Roundup the next asbestos?

By national regional and rural reporter Jess Davis Updated June 01, 2019 05:45:23

Photo: Monsanto is facing thousands of lawsuits claiming its product Roundup causes cancer. (Reuters: Mal Langsdon) It's been touted as the next asbestos and compared to the cover-ups by big tobacco companies last century, but agribusiness giant Monsanto insists Roundup doesn't cause cancer. Three US juries disagree, and the company is facing 13,400 plaintiffs who claim the most commonly used herbicide in the world is the reason they have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Key points:Roundup is the most commonly used herbicide in the world and its active ingredient is glyphosate Agribusiness giant Monsanto has lost three trials in the US over links between cancer and glyphosateIt's been ordered to pay out billions of dollars in damages to four cancer patients, with thousands more plaintiffs awaiting trial It's what's called a mass tort litigation, with lawsuits involving multiple plaintiffs against one defendant, in this case Monsanto, and involves multiple trials in different jurisdictions. Unlike a class action, injuries suffered by the plaintiffs in mass torts aren't always the same; they are usually similar but can be wider ranging and individualised. In the US, mass torts against pharmaceutical companies are the most common, but other well-known mass torts include cases like asbestos. So far Monsanto has been ordered to pay four cancer patients, with the most recent verdict ordering a payout of $US2 billion ($2.89 billion). All the cases are expected to be appealed. Acting with malice Professor Richard Stevens from the University of Connecticut's School of Medicine said the key point in the trials had not been about proving that glyphosate caused cancer. "The really important part of this trial is the misbehaviour of Monsanto, a company that did everything wrong in terms of how to handle a potential hazard.

(AP: Josh Edelson) "It's something like the tobacco companies, how they tried to stifle any criticism at all of their product." Professor Stevens has spent his career researching why people get cancer and said it was unclear whether glyphosate had the capacity to cause cancer in humans. Following the latest trial, Brent Wiessner, the lawyer for the plaintiffs, also highlighted the importance of Monsanto's behaviour in the jury's verdict. "We had a unanimous verdict in Johnson, unanimous verdict in Hardeman and this verdict [the Pilliods] was essentially unanimous. "We had 100 per cent, 12 jurors on all the important questions, specifically, 'Did Monsanto act with malice?' Every single juror agreed." The plaintiffs' lawyers have relied on what are called the Monsanto Papers: millions of internal documents that reveal the company's long-running aggressive campaign to protect Roundup. Can a jury decide on science? Monsanto's case throughout the three trials has been simple: it has repeatedly argued that the science says glyphosate is safe, as do regulators across the world. Rakesh Kilaru, the lawyer for Bayer, Monsanto's parent company, said he strongly disagreed on the finding that Monsanto had acted with malice and with the notion that the science was uncertain. "We're disappointed in the verdict to be sure, but I think it's very early in the litigation. "There have been three trials, but none of the cases have proceeded to a final judgement. There are still appeals in all of the cases." The focus of Monsanto's appeals will be on what science was presented to the juries and if it should have been allowed. "I think across the cases there's a concern that the methodology they're using is a methodology the jury should not even be hearing in the first place," Mr Kilaru said. "Because it involves picking and choosing certain parts of the science, rather than looking at the whole picture." The Monsanto trials have raised the question of whether a jury can or should decide on science. Proving that glyphosate has caused a specific person's cancer is difficult; in fact, Professor Stevens said "specific causation" for cancer could almost never be proven. Despite that, he believed product litigation cases were important. "It's a complicated kind of a democracy. We don't have perfect knowledge of anything," Professor Stevens said. "What has been proven in science or in law can always be unproven with new evidence or new experts." The next asbestos?

The first was that it could follow the path of asbestos, which is now regarded as causing lung cancer. "The Johns Manville Company back in the '60s marketed asbestos products [as] the miracle product, it doesn't wear out, it doesn't burn, [has a] high insulation factor," Professor Stevens said. "They've had so many lawsuits, Johns Manville's been run out of business." The second option is that it goes the way of saccharine, an artificial sweetener that in the 1970s was thought to cause bladder cancer but that was later disproven and the product is still widely used. Winning over the public

(Supplied) Whether the weedkiller could be responsible for a person's cancer has become a contentious question around the world, in both science and politics. And it is one that isn't likely to be answered anytime soon, with the legal battles in the US expected to rage on for years. In the meantime, Bayer faces the problem of public perception. It has prompted the company to take out advertisements in several US newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. Not only that, but its value has plummeted. Since the first verdict last August, Bayer has seen a drop in its share price of more than 40 per cent, with predictions it could face more than $US5 billion in settlements. Bayer would not comment on how much the cases have cost the company so far. More trials to come So far, two of the verdicts against Monsanto have been in the Californian state court and one in the federal court. There are three core areas of litigation unfolding: there is a set of cases in the Californian state court, there is a set of proceedings in the federal court where basically all the cases filed throughout the country have been put together and consolidated in front of one judge, and there is a set of cases that has been filed in the Missouri state court. The next case to be heard will be in August, in the Missouri state court at St Louis, where Monsanto is based. Despite Bayer's losses in the first three trials, Mr Kilaru said the company would continue to focus on science as its key defence. "In St Louis, Monsanto is located there and so there may be some more witnesses who testify, but I think that exactly who testifies and when is something we can't really know until we get to trial," he said. But as the first three trials have shown, juries aren't convinced by Monsanto's version of the science and have been more swayed by the evidence of its corporate misbehaviour.

Sob a influência de seu irmão, um padre frustrado, e de Stephanie, sua parceira de dança, começa a questionar a maneira como encara a vida e a limitação de suas perspectivas.

Porém ele está com dificuldades em chegar, pois além de não saber a rota está sendo parado pela polícia (mais de uma vez), que suspeita que os instrumentos sejam roubados. Assim cada vez que é parado precisa tocar todos os instrumentos, para provar que não é um mero ladrão. Paralelamente na discoteca, Nicole (Donna Summer), uma aspirante a cantora de disco music, quebra a segurança para poder cantar, mas é impedida por Bobby, que teme correr riscos. Já Frannie (Valerie Landsburg) e Jeannie (Terri Nunn), duas colegiais que foram barradas por não terem idade, precisam arrumar um jeito de entrarem e conseguirem um parceiro para Frannie disputar o concurso, pois só assim terão dinheiro para comprar ingressos para o show do Kiss. Um entediado casal, Dave (Mark Lonow) e Sue (Andrea Howard), vão por insistência dela na Zoo, no 5º aniversário de casamento deles. A relação é posta à prova quando Tony Di Marco (Jeff Goldblum), o proprietário da discoteca, que é um mulherengo incorrigível, tenta seduzi-la e ele é assediado por Jackie (Mews Small), que lhe dá vários comprimidos, provocando nele um efeito inusitado.

Ao contrário de Lisa, que pensa em roupas, Frances é idealista e quer estar no próximo verão no Corpo da Paz estudando a economia dos países do Terceiro Mundo. Assim, ela espera que este seja o ��ltimo verão como uma adolescente despreocupada, mas Baby não se dá muito bem com sua irmã mais velha e está entediada em tentar distrair os hospedes mais velhos (foi envolvida nesta situação por seu pai). Até que numa noite Baby ouve algo que parece ser um som de festa no alojamento dos funcionários (que os hospedes não podem ter acesso). Ela consegue entrar na festa graças a um empregado e descobre que ali o pessoal realmente se diverte com danças, que Max Kellerman (Jack Weston), o dono do hotel, não permite. Baby chega a dançar com Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), um professor de dança, e logo fica apaixonada por ele. Quando Penny Johnson (Cynthia Rhodes), a parceira de dança de Johnny, fica grávida por ter se envolvido com Robbie Gould (Max Cantor), um dos garçons, Baby se oferece para aprender a dançar e substituir Penny, mas o pai de Baby, quando descobre, não gosta disto, pois considera que Johnny é de outra classe social e Baby é jovem demais para entender seus sentimentos.
