he obliterated him history remembers Merckx as the greatest of all time while Ocaña remains an asterisk A man who had it all and lost it in the cruellest of ways This is the story of a rider who could have been one of the all-time greats but was ultimately undone by bad luck Eddy Merckx (the same age as Ocaña) was already devouring the competition – winning races at will if you lined up against Merckx during the late 1960s and early 1970s you were practically racing for second place Ocaña decided he wouldn’t be just another name on Merckx’s victim list The 1971 Tour de France was supposed to be another chapter in the legend of Eddy Merckx he had already won the Tour in 1969 and 1970 and nobody truly believed anyone could stop him The flat stages were hardly a problem for the Cannibal Following the advice of five-time Tour winner Jacques Anquetil the Spaniard launched a devastating counterattack and Merckx managed to spring into action and reduce the loss and by the time he crossed the finish line he had put an astounding 8 minutes and 42 seconds in front of the Cannibal at a time when Merckx dominated nearly every race he entered The Spaniard set such a high pace that after the race 61 cyclists couldn’t finish in the allowed time This meant only 32 riders were left in the race the organisers decided to allow all but three to remain in the race Ocaña didn’t just mop the floor with Merckx and other legends like Van Impe and Zoetemelk but he single-handedly was about to blow up the entire Tour de France This wasn’t just a stage win – it was a statement The cycling world erupted with speculation Could this be the man to finally dethrone Merckx he tried to chip away at Ocaña’s lead Ocaña matched every move and entered the Pyrenees with a comfortable lead looking poised to claim his first Tour de France title was where Ocaña’s dream turned into a nightmare But what neither man expected was that the weather would be the ultimate deciding factor As the peloton began its descent down the Col de Menté winding roads into a treacherous slip-and-slide Riders were struggling just to stay upright Ocaña had countered about five attacks from the Belgian and was not ready to give up due to a trivial problem like a punctured tyre both riders overran a flooded left bend and fell Merckx quickly got up and continued with minor bruises Other riders also missed the turn and crashed right into the Spaniard’s unprotected body waving for a spare wheel from his team car Another rider came out of the corner and hit him one more time An ambulance was dispatched and quickly took the almost champion to the summit where a helicopter transferred him to the nearby hospital while Merckx continued his march to his third Tour de France victory in a row the Belgian refused to wear the yellow jersey he received after Ocaña dropped out Ocaña had broken Merckx – but the Tour had broken him After one of history’s most heartbreaking Tour exits Merckx himself was doubting whether to join the Tour as he wanted to conquer La Vuelta that year But with many rightfully claiming he only won 1971’s Tour due to luck Both riders were playing carefully; Ocaña was patiently waiting for the mountain stages while Merckx was storing energy to counter the explosive power of the Spaniard Stage 7 was Ocaña’s time to drive his first devastating attack The Spaniard started aggressively from the get-go He finished gaining 1 minute 49 seconds over his biggest rival Merckx knew that Ocaña was the only one that could beat him He knew that if the Spaniard managed to escape he’d eat up Merckx’s lead in just one stage he lost over 4 minutes to Merckx and even lost his second spot to Guimard the doctors found out that Ocaña was racing with a lung infection caused by his fall in the 7th stage he gave the best cyclist in the world a run for their money and he left his competition gasping for air The Cannibal had skipped the Tour that year choosing instead to focus on the Vuelta and the Giro but the asterisk next to his victory was undeniable and his aggressive riding style took its toll While Merckx continued adding to his legacy not by lack of talent but by sheer cruel misfortune but cycling – like life – isn’t always fair He tried wine-making and even dabbled in cycling management but nothing filled the void left by his unfinished legacy Merckx went on to become synonymous with cycling An idol and a role model for aspiring cyclists there was one rider that could take him any time But Ocaña was so much more than a footnote in Merckx’s legacy and a cautionary tale of how cycling is just as unforgiving It's going to be so great to have you with us We just need your email address to keep in touch WeLoveCycling.com is an online magazine that brings you original stories A Santa Fe man is accused of abusing his girlfriend’s children — sticking tacks in their feet beating and throwing them across the room — dozens of times over several months six counts of animal cruelty and one count of sexual exploitation of children in the case Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content Matthew Reisen covers criminal justice for the Albuquerque Journal.

Gastrointestinal and Pancreatic Oncology group at IDIBAPS has revealed significant geographical differences in the clinical pathological and familial characteristics of early-onset colorectal cancer - that is diagnosed before the age of 50 - in Europe Their analysis shows that this type of cancer does not present in the same way in all regions which could have implications for clinical and preventive approaches.  The research, recently published in the journal BJS Open included a total of 851 patients from six European countries: Spain in Mediterranean countries such as Spain and Italy early-onset colorectal cancer is more associated with environmental factors such as overweight and obesity in non-Mediterranean countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands family history has a more significant weight in the onset of the disease in addition to presenting at an earlier age.  Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed among men and the second among women worldwide Although its overall incidence is decreasing thanks to screening programmes in people over 50 years of age different patterns are detected depending on the country and region the regional incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer can vary up to tenfold This research is framed within the international consortium GEOCODE (Global Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Database) which aims to study and analyse the clinical and translational aspects of early-onset colorectal cancer worldwide.  “This collaborative analysis highlights the urgent need to adapt preventive and diagnostic strategies to the context of each region lifestyle and environmental factors," explains Francesc Balaguer head of the Gastroenterology service at the Hospital Clínic and one of the coordinators of the work together with José Perea from the University of Salamanca.   one of the first-named authors of the article emphasizes: “The confirmation of geographical differences helps us to characterise the disease but it also helps us to understand its molecular basis and to define a more personalised management for it.”  Receive the latest news from our institution directly to your email in a few moments you will receive a

tough competitionCatie Mohr Mar 102 min readThe Willamette Basketball Club women's squad poses after their scrimmage at home against UO Club Basketball on Feb.9 Photo courtesy of Karina Akre.Last weekend the Willamette Basketball Club took on opponents from powerhouse schools such as ASU and U of A in Phoenix as a part of the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association’s (NIRSA) Western Regional Tournament going to a national tournament didn’t even seem like a possibility last semester started by alumni Joaquin Ocaña (ʼ24) and Maxwell Fontaine (ʼ24) in the spring of 2023 has seen a surge in consistent turnout since they moved their practices to Mondays and Thursdays at the beginning of this spring semester who has been hired as the club’s official coach since graduating they have around 19 total members going to Arizona — 11 for the men’s team 8 for the women’s — with this number not reflecting the total regular turnout they get at practices This roster represents a vast improvement from where they were last semester: “Last year we only had around four or five people,” said Malachi Washington (ʼ25) There’s a lot of people here who are still learning how to play basketball.” Along with novices to the game the club has drawn some of its membership from former Willamette varsity players such as Ava Kitchin (MBA ʼ25) and Carolyn Ho (ʼ25) A cross-state travel tournament hadn’t always been on the club’s radar “Malachi brought it up sometime around November No way we can make this happen,’” said Ocaña But as they began to do some investigating the club’s exec team found that there was more precedent than they’d anticipated for club sports traveling “We looked at [previous funding requests from other clubs] just to get an idea of what was feasible if we budget … it might be doable,’” said Ocaña the final price tag ended up being around $9,000 with the participants having to front some of the costs themselves for flights That number covers everything the club might need jerseys and transportation forming the bulk of the expenses but [the tournament’s] gonna be eye-opening and pretty hard.” Regardless of their nerves Ocaña and Washington are focused simply on getting better “I think that’s kinda the biggest reason we went through with it really compete in tournaments like [this one],” said Ocaña is scheduled to begin her prison sentence next Monday 21/11/2024 - 5:12pm (GMT-5) | who was arrested in February for illegally bringing $102,000 into the United States from Havana has been sentenced to five months in prison for two counts of money smuggling was also sentenced to three years of probation after completing her time in prison according to a statement from an official of the Central Florida District Attorney's Office to the Café Fuerte portal Mizelle considered that the defendant had pleaded guilty to the charges and had no prior criminal record she could have received up to five years in prison Ocaña must report to prison next Monday to serve his sentence had requested that the sentence not exceed eight months of house arrest along with an additional month of probation Although his client will still have to go to jail "The guidelines indicated a minimum of eight months of jail time but considering what we could have received Mercado has consistently claimed that his client merely made "a mistake that anyone could make." He has also firmly denied any connection with the former Cuban Minister of Economy who was dismissed and charged with corruption the prosecution argued that of the 45 trips to Cuba he made since May 2023 at least 16 were for money smuggling operations and that he earned between $1,000 and $2,500 for each one as payment from his co-conspirators Ocana [SIC] did not declare the cash as required by law and that behavior continued until federal agents searched him And Ocana was not smuggling small amounts of cash just over the permitted threshold of $10,000 he had more than $100,000 expertly arranged in his luggage to hide it from authorities," detailed Assistant Prosecutor Michael J The Cuban woman was arrested on February 5 at Tampa International Airport during a routine inspection Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents discovered $102,709 in cash that had not been declared The money was distributed in her luggage and among her clothing she confessed that she received payments ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 for each trip she made from Cuba to smuggle large sums of undeclared money into the United States The National Security Investigations team has handled this case Buchanan highlighting the seriousness of the charges which include smuggling and conspiracy with an unidentified individual to transport illicit money to the United States laws allow the entry of any amount of cash but require that amounts exceeding $10,000 be declared This regulation aims to combat money laundering and criminal activities An official website of the United States government summer is a time to think about their future careers by working internships in their desired field This summer the United States Marshals Service (USMS) has over 25 interns out of its headquarters in Arlington the USMS is celebrating the contributions and projects they have completed during their programs thus far as a part of National Intern Day Each intern is assigned to a supervisor within a staff office or division Interns work on projects like revamping internal practices “It’s a lot more than just administrative work,” said Nyla Souffrant a political science and international affairs major at the University of Georgia I get to be hands-on with what I actually want to do career-wise That’s how I know I’m in the right career field.” “It’s absolutely worth getting involved because it’s so hands-on,” said Alexander Williams a biology and history student at Yale University it’s been to hit the ground running and just sprint.” USMS interns have the opportunity to go on field trips Interns this summer have visited with employees at the Secret Service “We try to gauge the interest of the students so that it truly is the best use of their time,” said Jonathan Ocana “We want them to be exposed to things that are of actual interest to them and not what we are projecting on them.” “Being here has given me an opportunity and a platform to learn stuff that I would have never learned at any other internship,” said Javier Simpson a political science student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice The USMS internship program is well-established and can lead to permanent employment opportunities within the agency “There are countless executives who have been here for close to 20 years and they talk about having an internship experience here,” said Ocana. Each year the USMS headquarters has students from over 50 colleges partake in its internship program Some of the interns from this summer’s cohort are from Virginia Tech “You’re always working on the next generation,” Ocana said “Interns are the population that we’re going to be recruiting later in life Students interested in the USMS internship program can learn more here Additional information about the U.S. Marshals Service can be found at https://www.usmarshals.gov America’s First Federal Law Enforcement Agency Have a question about government services? Contact USA.gov usmarshals.gov is an official site of the U.S. Federal Government, U.S. Department of Justice Prosecutors said he recorded about 100 videos of himself abusing his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son A Santa Fe man initially charged with 70 counts of child abuse and animal cruelty in connection with his mistreatment of two children and their cat pleaded guilty to 13 of those counts Friday as part of a deal which calls for him to serve a 30-year prison sentence will be deported following his prison sentence and banned from reentering the country or ever becoming a U.S Glenn Ellington said at his sentencing Friday Twelve of the crimes Ocana-Escalante admitted to as part of the plea deal are third-degree felony child abuse charges The 13th is a charge of manufacturing a visual medium of sexual exploitation of children related to his having filmed the children while they were bathing with an emphasis on their genitals The charges he pleaded to carried a potential maximum penalty of 48 years in prison; 18 years were suspended as part of the agreement which also resulted in the dismissal of the remaining charges including several counts of animal cruelty Court observers sat in stunned silence at Ocana-Escalante’s plea hearing Friday as Deputy District Attorney Haley Murphy showed some of what she said were about 100 videos Ocana-Escalante recorded on his phone showing himself abusing the 3-year-old girl and 5-year-old boy who are the children of his former girlfriend Most of the videos showed him abusing the girl waking her from sleep by punching her in the head holding her up by her hair as he struck her in the face and tossing her about the room into various pieces of furniture One of the clips showed Ocana-Escalante kicking both children in the side back and head as they lay on the floor and holding a blanket over the girl’s nose and mouth Ocana-Escalante was cursing at the children telling them to be quiet or telling them to stop crying he used the claws of the children’s cat to scratch their feet and had also woken them up by poking their feet with thumbtacks and safety pins The prosecutor said the child’s mother discovered Ocana-Escalante was abusing her children last summer when she looked through his phone and found the videos he’d shot of himself hurting the children the mother recorded the videos on her own phone and called 911 The woman’s family members later recalled she’d complained of fatigue since she’d begun dating Ocana-Escalante a few months earlier leading police to suspect he had been drugging the woman so she wouldn’t wake up while he was abusing her children in the middle of the night Ocana-Escalante’s attorney Sheri Raphaelson told the court Friday he’d undergone two physiological examinations neither of which had been able to pinpoint any factors which might explain his behavior “This is an individual who derives pleasure from the pain adding one of the videos not shown depicted him masturbating to a video of the little girl crying as he muttered to himself that no one was coming to help her Ocana-Escalante answered “guilty” calmly and clearly as the judge asked him how he plead to each of the counts included in the agreement saying he was “deeply sorry” for all the damage he’d caused the family and people who had to watch the videos of his abuse in court Friday but I understand that this is something that’s pretty much unforgivable,” he said Ocana-Escalante said he hoped the victims could heal and he wanted them to know they didn’t need to live in fear looking over their shoulders for his retaliation The judge called that promise a hollow one “When our children wake up in the middle of the night from a bad dream we hold them and comfort them and tell them ‘No there are not really monsters in the world,’ that that’s all made up,” Ellington said Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device Receive a list of headlines

Angela Ocaña was named Director of the Eugene Public Library She’s worked in libraries since she was a teen and came to Eugene in 2017 to work in the library’s Youth Services department Ocaña talked about the teen room she helped create at the downtown branch Angela Ocaña: There's this notion that there isn't a place for teenagers in libraries and also that there's not a place for teenagers in our society I want to help create the space for teenagers that I wanted as a teen I want to play Dungeons and Dragons and meet friends and do art and So that's kind of what was my inspiration is—I want to give kids positive adult role models in their life because that helps to lead to success And that's the motto that we've taken certainly at the Eugene Public Library But the piece that fuels my excitement for libraries is giving people who don't find a space in our community and giving them something at the library Rachael McDonald: All different types of people come to the library And so how do you balance accessibility with safety and a sense of it being for everyone There are still people to this day who want to shush and say that libraries should be quiet places And you want to know that there's a place for everyone There are spaces to build community with different people and that may not resonate with folks who grew up in a library as a quiet place and this is where we come and these are the things we do McDonald: You've come into this position at a time when the library is facing challenges because of the city's budget woes and the library is taking cuts already and is now looking at more cuts Ocaña: We've had to look at budget reductions as a way of not removing services but it actually has made us think and adapt in different ways—kind of like the pandemic did where we had to be more creative and more thoughtful we're just actually just moving them to different days that are more strategic And we never would have really thought about that if we had had budget reductions We would have just kept going in the same old the same old And now we're trying to think creatively about how we do programs And I think that's our responsibility as people in government I know people don't always think of the library as a part of government but we want to do our part around fiscal responsibility and make those really great moves So our community doesn't really feel the impact of budget cuts That's the power that we have in that kind of situation McDonald:  Another challenge that libraries are facing is that there are people out there who want to control who can read what books How has the Eugene Public library experienced that Have there been challenges to books that you've had to deal with Ocaña: I sit on the American Library Association's Intellectual Freedom Round Table and I was the chair of that for a little while And so book banning and challenges are really familiar We're really open to people reading,’ and that's not actually true One of the largest book challenges came when a book formerly called George—now called Melissa's Story—became an OBOB (Oregon Battle of the Books) book And it became the number one nationwide most challenged book because of Oregon and because of people saying 'we don't want our kids to read this foul book.' But it was a book that had been vetted by teachers and librarians as important and everyone loves the Oregon Battle of the Books And so to say that Oregon doesn't have a part in book bannings isn't correct what we've seen is pieces of silent censorship people not returning a book that they don't agree with people writing disparaging things into books And we've seen an increase in the number of challenges last year at the public library why is this material on the shelf?’ which is a responsible thing to do But when it comes from a place of malice and misunderstanding it doesn't have a place for us in our community And we have policies that help us ensure that everyone has the right to read As a woman—and a queer brown woman—who didn't see myself reflected in literature I am blown away that kids can now really see themselves reflected in those books So to think about those books being removed about kids not having the ability to ride a magical dragon and see themselves—like I think that's our hope and our focus is that everyone will find something for them something that resonates and lets them dream and imagine This report aims to assess the needs of IDPs experiencing individual displacement because of conflict in Colombia with a specific focus on the municipalities of Bogotá Individual displacement tends to be underreported to the authorities rendering those affected less visible and leaving them in precarious conditions without adequate support The analysis examines the specific challenges that individually displaced people face highlighting barriers to accessing basic services The findings of this report are based on a combination of secondary data review and primary data collection through key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) This report cites KIIs to encompass insights gathered from both individual KIIs and FGDs the latter conducted with people who have experienced displacement because of armed conflict and are currently residing in the studied municipalities The primary data collection focused on gathering information specifically about individual displacement The secondary data included reports and documents from humanitarian organisations providing a broad context of displacement dynamics across Colombia Data collection was conducted in collaboration with REACH involving 33 KIIs and six FGDs across the four municipalities (Bogotá The analysis team chose to focus on these municipalities given their status as major host locations for IDPs the significant number of arrivals in each location and their geographic and strategic importance in providing an understanding of the displacement dynamics Accessing reliable data on individual displacement presents significant challenges A central issue for this report was distinguishing the needs and experiences of individually displaced people from those undergoing mass displacement the primary data collection tools explicitly focused on individual displacement this report uses the term ‘IDP’ when the type of displacement (individual or mass) is not explicitly stated This undermines efforts to accurately assess the number of individually displaced people and their needs upon arrival in host municipalities Unidad para la Atención y Reparación Integral a las Víctimas (UARIV) the national unit providing assistance to victims of armed conflict keeps records on the number of displaced people but these figures largely rely on IDPs actively declaring their status at UARIV offices According to a 2024 Humanitarian NGO Forum survey 31% of the surveyed IDPs did not declare their displacement The three main reasons for not declaring were fear for their safety (23%) and a lack of knowledge about the process (18%) (Humanitarian NGO Forum 22/05/2024) Institutional distrust underpins these main reasons many IDPs perceive institutional responses as inadequate or facing delays from bureaucratic processes a formal complaint against non-state armed groups (NSAGs) or other responsible parties must be filed with the prosecutor’s office as part of the declaration process High demand at UARIV offices and other regional institutions often forces IDPs to wait long periods for appointments heightening their vulnerability as they struggle to secure their basic needs (KII 16/10/2024; KII 21/10/2024; KII 30/09/2024; KII 01/10/2024) key informants noted that IDPs are often concerned about the confidentiality of the information they share with institutions fearing that declaring their displacement status may expose them to risks particularly in areas with a high presence of NSAGs (KII 01/10/2024; KII 21/10/2024; KII 20/10/2024) there are significant information gaps regarding the specific needs of individually displaced people including the exact number of people in need and a more granular understanding of their challenges There is also a lack of information on the needs of individually displaced people with disabilities and the LGBTQ+ population Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker 5 minutes with Bridget Tindall Andy Chavez Ocana is the Associate Director of Education in the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing he tells us about his career in the Faculty and how he has progressed could you tell us about your background and career before joining King’s I started my career in an entry level post at a satellite campus of the University of Buckingham in 2013 Then I side stepped to a similar role at SOAS University of London 18 months after At SOAS I worked my way up the ladder through different roles as Department Officer Department Manager and my final role as Head of an area I spent about three years in that role until I felt as if I needed a change which brought me to King's I started as a Senior Programmes Manager and moved into the Associate Director of Education role What was it like moving roles within the Faculty what support and encouragement did you have from colleagues and managers The move itself was relatively comfortable colleagues already knew me from my previous role and so were very supportive My line manager and their manager were also very supportive making time to answer questions and help me get a sense of the role I was applying for The hardest thing was probably overcoming my own insecurities and actually listening to what people were saying when that happened it really reminded me of the skills I have accrued over the years that will help me in the role What would you say to someone looking to develop and grow within King’s but unsure about where to start I would encourage people to find opportunities for development lending a hand to a service area when they need it training courses or even challenging their manager to help them develop The next thing I would recommend is keeping a skills diary I have one which I regularly complete with examples of where I have learnt new skills either through development or work This has helped massively when it comes to completing applications and you just can't remember when you have done something Finally I would encourage anyone wishing to grow to become comfortable with change This can often be scary and as humans we hate it but the more comfortable you become with it the better you will become at throwing yourself into the unknown and succeeding email templates or even the way you approach your own career the more changes you put in place and attempt the more comfortable you will become and that will help you grow What is your favourite thing about working at King’s sometimes it does not implement things immediately but it does listen and you often get to see changes further down the line Obviously the Faculty is the best for the work we do for the NHS and the group of students we work with and working with a group of staff and students you are passionate about is very important to me What do you do with your time outside of work whether it is a small DYI project at home or fixing the car I am always one to throw myself into those situations I probably make the problem worse but I like giving it a try King’s College London

Square Apartments in Gastonia are looking for solutions to fix problems with the city’s new public transportation system that they say have made public transportation in the city unattainable said she was stranded at Walmart for more than three hours after using GoGastonia the city’s new ride-share style transportation system she used the app to schedule a pick-up for the ride in one of the city’s accessible vans to accommodate her wheelchair After shopping for roughly an hour and picking up her insulin Ruiz-Ocana said she opened the app to schedule a ride home Riders who cannot access the app can also call 704-753-7439 to schedule a ride Ruiz-Ocana called the number multiple times and was informed each time that there were no drivers in the area to pick her up Ruiz-Ocana said she is lucky enough to have a daughter who was able to pick her up this time Another Village Square resident told Ruiz-Ocana that he was stranded at Target after a similar experience with GoGastonia The resident called the number for hours until finally being told the service was closed for the day When Ruiz-Ocana called the customer service center to inform them of the issue she said they told her she could look into other forms of transportation local taxi services are typically not accessible to riders with wheelchairs and also cost significantly more money when they are ADA accessible She said the challenges surrounding the new transportation system have limited her freedom and ability to go out without help from her daughter I feel horrible for the people in my complex here because we’ve got a lot of people that won’t ride now because they don’t know if they’ll be picked up Somebody doesn’t realize the anxiety of getting in a vehicle After bringing her concerns to a City Council meeting Aug Ruiz-Ocana said Gastonia Department of Transportation Director Randi Gates agreed to meet with residents of the apartment complex in their community room Thursday to discuss their concerns Gastonia Spokeswoman Mary Elliott said the city is currently working with Via Transportation to find solutions Ruiz-Ocana said she believes the resolution to these issues is to allow riders to pre-schedule a pick-up time for their return trip when they are riding round-trip and to fix the issues at the call center GoGastonia was unveiled in July after the contract with Via Transportation, a company with a

His figure, close to PSOE, and with an extensive career in the economic and business field, has sparked controversy after being proposed by the Government for the vice presidency of Telefónica. He has previous experience in the economic team of La Moncloa during José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero's term. As well as in the Ministry of Industry, under the direction of Miguel Sebastián, Ocaña brings a solid background in public and private management. His role as an advisor in companies like Paradores demonstrates his versatility. In addition to his leadership capacity in different fields. Carlos Ocaña maintains a close relationship with Pedro Sánchez, the president of the Government. According to ABC, Ocaña was a co-author with Sánchez of the book based on his controversial doctoral thesis. The same one that was subject to plagiarism and has been a key figure within PSOE. A highlighted aspect of Ocaña's career is his relationship with the current president of the Government through his work on the book. In 2012, Pedro Sánchez obtained his doctorate with a thesis riddled with academic irregularities. ABC detailed this in 2018. Sánchez places a trusted man in Telefónica's vice presidency | Europa PressAlthough Ocaña's name doesn't appear in the original thesis, it does appear in the book based on it. Under the title "The New Economic Diplomacy," published in 2014. The book was registered in 2013 by the Delta publishing house, with Pedro Sánchez as director and Carlos Ocaña as co-author. Regarding the plagiarism, the book was even more controversial. It included at least 161 lines copied from other texts without proper citations or references. The Government makes a move at Telefónica. It is not limited to having removed José María Álvarez-Pallete from the presidency of Telefónica to place Marc Murtra, linked to PSC and former executive of Indra, in his place. Now, it has taken a new step by proposing the promotion of Carlos Ocaña, current member of the operator's board and close to the Executive. All to make him the vice president of the company. This information has created a great stir on social media who see how Sánchez continues to place trusted people in high positions. Let's remember the advisor was already appointed by Moncloa for the company. This happened when SEPI completed the purchase of 10% of Telefónica's capital. Then, the president of the Government rewarded him with the position of advisor in the operator, and now he also becomes vice president. accused of possessing over $102,000 on a return trip from Havana to Tampa denied having any type of connection with the ousted former Minister of Economy and Planning Alejandro Gil Fernández This case has nothing to do with any Cuban government official Gil or anyone," said Ocaña's lawyer Juan C Mercado to journalist Wilfredo Cancio Isla with two charges after being caught last February entering more than $102,000 from Cuba through Tampa Airport without declaring them to US authorities especially among Cuban independent media outlets who questioned the arrival of such an excessive amount of money at a time when the Minister of Economy and Planning was being removed from his position and accused of alleged corruption by the Cuban regime What happens is that the scandal is more attractive," mentioned Cancio Islas the woman has a hearing scheduled to review her case Her lawyer has expressed optimism about the results that can be achieved we are reviewing all the evidence in detail to make a decision on whether we can reach an agreement and resolve the case in her best interest," the lawyer stated The woman faces charges including cash smuggling and conspiracy with an unidentified person to transport and introduce money illegally into the United States law requires that anyone entering the country with more than $10,000 in cash must declare it Ocaña admitted to smuggling money into the United States since June 2023 making between 2 and 3 trips a month to the island he claimed to have received payments ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 it was discovered that Ocaña had visited Cuba 45 times since May 2023 Despite admitting his knowledge of the illegality of entering money without declaring it approximately a hundred thousand dollars were seized from him in total Ocaña apparently emigrated from Cuba on an unknown date and initially settled in an apartment in the city of Hialeah where he occupied a modest home in a mobile home park and had a car of little value Please select what you would like included for printing: Copy the text below and then paste that into your favorite email application This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply Service map data © OpenStreetMap contributors 2013 (SENIOR - FALL ONLY)Had senior indoor campaign cut short by injury but still amassed 146 kills in 65 sets played ..

counts of abusing a young girl now faces dozens of charges accusing him of severe physical abuse of two children and their pets has been held in the Santa Fe County jail since his arrest Aug 18 on suspicion of repeatedly beating a girl After further investigation by officers in the Santa Fe Police Department’s Special Victims Unit Deputy Chief Ben Valdez said in a news release issued Monday the agency filed an amended criminal complaint against him Ocana-Escalante is now accused of 63 counts of abusing the girl and her brother after moving into their mother’s home in May He also faces six counts of abusing animals in the home and one count of child sexual exploitation The criminal complaint states he is suspected of producing an image depicting a sexual act or simulation involving a child but does not specify whether the count is tied to the young siblings The complaint lists all 70 counts against Ocana-Escalante citing alleged incidents between June and August in which he is accused of punching pulling the girl by her hair and even sticking her with pins or tacks Most of the counts allege abuse of the girl according to a motion filed by prosecutors who seek to have Ocana-Escalante detained until his trial The document was filed in state District Court Aug when Ocana-Escalante faced the initial five counts who found bruises on her daughter last month also discovered more than 100 videos on Ocana-Escalante’s phone that show him striking the child including while she was sleeping and sometimes with enough force to send her flying across the room The woman told police she recorded the videos on her own phone after he became heavily intoxicated and fell asleep Prosecutors note in the motion Ocana-Escalante was charged in May 2020 with attempted murder in a drive-by shooting A report in The New Mexican at the time stated he and another man were accused of following a silver vehicle from Santa Fe to a supermarket in Pojoaque where the second man was suspected of firing at the driver Authorities believed the men had misidentified the vehicle as one that belonged to a person who had been harassing a friend Ocana-Escalante initially was charged with attempted murder conspiracy to shoot at or from a vehicle and tampering with evidence Court documents show his charges were reduced to tampering with the 2017 Audi the men had been riding in The case was stayed in May 2021 while he participated a pre-prosecution diversion program He was charged last month with aggravated DWI after crashing into another vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of about three times the legal limit for driving It notes the case was dismissed without prejudice to allow the District Attorney’s Office time to collect sufficient evidence before proceeding “The Defendant’s violent conduct toward a small child is of a kind that shocks the conscience,” prosecutors wrote in the motion The allegations strongly suggest that the Defendant possesses a characteristic of cruelty toward the powerless such that the prospect of his release would alarm society.” A District Court hearing to determine whether Ocana-Escalante will be held until his trial is

police are responsible for the shooting death of a 22-year-old actor in México state on Friday claim the man’s father and thousands of social media users According to the México state Attorney General’s Office (FGJ) Octavio Ocaña – best known for his role as Benito in the television series Vecinos (Neighbors) – accidentally shot himself after losing control of his SUV while being pursued by Cautitlán Izcalli municipal police in Atizapán de Zaragoza a municipality located north of Mexico City Cautitlán Izcalli police had ordered Ocaña to stop but he accelerated instead precipitating a high-speed chase that continued into Atizapán Ocaña accidentally shot himself in the head as he crashed into a retaining wall “As a result of the dynamic of this accident the driver presumably set off the firearm he was carrying in his right hand,” it said in a statement Ocaña was still alive when police reached his vehicle but died after arriving at a hospital in the México state municipality of Naucalpan The two passengers allegedly told investigators that the actor removed his gun from the vehicle’s glove compartment when the chase began The FGJ said results of toxicology tests showed that Ocaña was driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana An empty tequila bottle and empty beer cans were found in the actor’s vehicle and the man traveling in the front passenger seat told investigators they had been drinking Ocaña’s father said the gun found in his son’s car belonged to him but claimed that it wasn’t the weapon that shot him “The police killed Octavio Ocaña,” Octavio Pérez said asserting that the bullet wound his son sustained was not consistent with the caliber of his firearm He said Ocaña had a Defense Ministry license for his gun and carried it due to the high levels of insecurity in Mexico Pérez also challenged the FGE’s claim that his son was under the influence of marijuana my son wasn’t an alcoholic that drank for two days straight because he had responsibility I’m a businessman [in Tabasco] and he was in Mexico City taking care of my company there,” he told a YouTube program hosted by television presenter Gustavo Adolfo Infante Pérez said his son’s death had “destroyed” him but vowed to fight for the truth and until all those responsible are in prison Using photos and videos of the car chase and crash to back up their claims thousands of social media users also blamed municipal police for Ocaña’s death Twitter and Facebook users said the weapon with which the actor allegedly shot himself could have been planted in the vehicle by police They also shared images of a Cautitlán Izcalli police vehicle with a dent in its front to support a claim that it rammed into the back of Ocaña’s SUV Social media users also shared video footage that allegedly shows police beating the two other men who were in the vehicle a video posted to social media allegedly shows police offers in civilian clothing at the scene of the crash on Sunday “What do they want to erase?” one Twitter user asked asserted that the FGE’s version of events “is one of the stupidest false reports in the recent history of official criminal cover-ups.” “The setup is clear,” said Facebook user Cesar Portillo Arias in a post below the FGE’s statement “Too bad that the Attorney General’s Office continues to lend itself to these kinds of violations of the

details our results indicate that animals and fungi evolved under two contrasting trajectories of genetic change that predated the origin of both groups The gradual establishment of two clearly differentiated genomic contexts thus set the stage for the emergence of Metazoa and Fungi Genomic data were produced for the four species in bold Fungi have a larger fraction of their gene content involved in metabolism also reported remarkable gene originations at the metazoan root To quantify what contributed more to the pool of gene families involved in functions that are particularly important for multicellularity (K whether pre-metazoan gene originations from Holozoa or those that occurred at the metazoan root we traced the evolutionary trajectories of these three categories after the divergence of Opisthokonta These divergent trajectories started immediately after the split of their last common ancestor (Opisthokonta) into Holozoa and Holomycota and continued during the emergence and diversification of Metazoa and Fungi situating the immediate ancestors of Fungi and Metazoa in substantially different latent potentials from a genomic perspective This is especially relevant for the case of animals Had not animal ancestors experienced a continuous and long-standing evolutionary trajectory that had a compounding effect on the genomic potential for multicellularity The origin of animals may be seen as a drastic evolutionary event but our taxon-rich analysis shows how the potential for that to happen was generated gradually on a genomic level Our results illustrate the importance of analysing evolutionary transitions in the light of their evolutionary prehistory and for an explanation of the algorithm that we developed to correct it) we also detected Pirum gemmata contamination in the proteome of Abeoforma whisleri and few from Ichthyophonus hoferi in Sphaerothecum destruens indicating cross-contamination problems between these ichthyosporeans datasets these cases of contamination neither affected the phylogenetic inference as these species were only used for species tree reconstruction purposes clusters included 1,117,614 eukaryotic sequences and 58,017 non-eukaryotic sequences (53,168 All these 1,175,631 sequences were distributed among 413,445 clusters clusters included sequences mostly from Opisthokonta (50 species) but also from 18 representatives of other major eukaryotic groups (euk_db dataset) We submitted every post-MAPBOS OGs (or clusters) to a gene tree inference pipeline consisting of using MAFFT-linsi for the alignment step trimAl [–gappyout] for alignment trimming and IQ-TREE for the phylogenetic inference IQ-TREE was run using the LG+G4 model and sampling 1,000 optimized [-bnni] UFBoot replicates for every gene tree Inflated gene counts are expected to produce an excess of duplication inferences in the reconciliations whereas (2) unexpressed genes may be confused by gene losses (3) Transcriptomes are harder to decontaminate due to the lack of genomic context information regarding neighbouring genes intron sequences or compositional features of the coding sequence whereas (4) those sequences predicted from partial isoforms are expected to lead to inaccuracies to the software used to detect gene fusions (see below) (5) Accurate gene contents were also important given that the reconciliation software used (see above) infers the values for parameters such as gene duplication and loss rates from the data We used CompositeSearch57 to identify composite gene families families of genes whose protein sequence is composed by fractions—for example protein domains—that are separately found in other CompositeSearch requires as input all-against-all sequence alignments for which we used the same BLASTp results used for OrthoFinder (see above) although alignment hits corresponding to draft_euk_db species not represented in euk_db were removed Before being used as input for CompositeSearch BLASTp results were preprocessed with cleanBlastp (included in CompositeSearch) to retain only the hit with the highest score among all hits involving the same query–target pair CompositeSearch was run with the default parameters and forcing the software [-f] to work on the clusters resulting from the processing of the OG from OrthoFinder by the MAPBOS pipeline Families with only one sequence were discarded as potential components [-y] Prok_db sequences were not included in composite inferences as alignments between prok_db and euk_db sequences were done with DIAMOND instead of BLASTp due to computational time limitations Because we work at the gene family level (clusters) we only considered as composites those clusters in which >50% of members were detected as composite sequences CompositeSearch detects as a composite any sequence that matches with distinct subsets of sequences (components from other OGs) in different regions of its sequence Whereas fusion events may lead to composite sequences not all sequences detected as composites necessarily originated from a gene fusion process a sequence found to be composite by the software could have originated de novo in a given ancestral lineage (gene X–domains A and B) that gene could have been split into two separate genes (gene Y–domain A and gene Z–domain B) the software would detect the gene X as a composite because some part of the sequence would be aligned by the gene Y (first component) and the other by the gene Z (second component) To retain only bona fide fusion composite sequences we only considered those composite sequences in which all their components were inferred to have a more ancestral origin than the composite This was done to minimize the false-positive inferences of fusions at the expense of losing potential fusion events in which both the composite and the components may have originated in the same node of the phylogeny using DIAMOND for the alignments of euk_db sequences against the eggNOG database (the functional category ‘S: unknown function’ was ignored as it does not include functional information) the functional categories and KO annotations of every cluster were determined by averaging the annotations of the corresponding cluster members if a cluster includes two sequences (SeqA and SeqB) and SeqA was annotated with the functional category K and SeqB with the functional categories B and K that cluster would be annotated as 0.75K and 0.25B (0.5K from SeqA + 0.25K from SeqB From the reconciliation analyses (see ‘Gene tree inference and reconciliation analyses’) losses and gene contents of every OG in every node in the phylogeny we determined the absolute representation of all functional categories by crossing the information between the number of copies of every OG in the node and the relative representation of every functional category among the functional information of the OGs The same was done to determine the KO contents of every node The percentage of metabolic genes of every node was determined by dividing the number of KOs with metabolic annotations by the total number of genes in the node (besides KOs belonging to the ‘metabolic category’ those belonging to the category ‘membrane transport’ were also considered as metabolic genes) The relative representation of every functional category in every node was determined by dividing the absolute value of every category in the node by the sum of the absolute values of all functional categories in the node Gains and losses of functional categories and KOs were determined by comparing the contents of every node with those of its immediately preceding node More specific statistical analyses are detailed below Further information on research design is

article Sign up for the Nature Briefing: Microbiology newsletter — what matters in microbiology research Thanks for visiting History books may say that the 1971 Tour de France was won by the Cannibal And Eddy Merckx was indeed the first rider to cross the finish line in Paris But those who watched the race back in the day tell a different story A story of a troubled man who beat Eddy and made it look easy The frail and always restless rider believed to be a victim of a curse That was the only explanation the Spaniard could find for not being able to show the world the genius for cycling he was certain he had Ocaña faced all the troubles you could think of health issues and unfortunately even mental health issues everything seemed to have fallen into place Despite Ocaña’s triumph at La Vuelta the previous year La Marca complained about the end of an era The likes of Bahamontes and Jiménez were thought to never appear again And instead of focusing on their countryman Bernard Thévenet and Lucien van Impe to be the biggest threat to Merckx’s hattrick claiming he was the only one who was there not just to try to beat him That was a common problem of the Cannibal’s generation He won so many times (one in every three races he entered) that the opponents were simply content with fighting for second places..But that was not Ocaña’s way Nobody is,” Ocaña told the journalists defiantly when asked the about the Belgian The 1971 Grand Bouclé started in a fast and furious fashion Stage 2 saw a group of 15 riders finish 10 minutes before the peloton and it was almost certain that the overall winner would come from that group Ocaña was there as well and used the Puy de Dome climb during stage 8 to attack the Belgian for the first time nothing in comparison with what happened on stage 11 Ocaña attacked on the Cote de Laffrey climb and Merckx didn’t find the strength to follow Each time the motorbike would come down to the poursuivants None of the GC favourites could believe what they were seeing because he had 4 minutes on the others,” Ocaña’s team’s GM Maurice de Muer recalled it will be five in a moment,’ he yelled back at me I came back to him shortly saying that he got those 5 minutes And he would just yell back that now it’s going to be six It was one of the most memorable stages in all of Tour de France history Ocaña crossed the finish line 8 minutes and 42 seconds ahead of Merckx 61 riders didn’t make the time cut because of the Spaniard’s deadly pace The organizers had to extend the limit so that there was someone to continue racing it was out of this world,” Merckx admitted years after the race In the very next stage Merckx cut down Ocaña’s lead by 2 minutes The Cannibal rode so hard he crossed the finish line in Marseille an hour early The local mayor swore to never allow the Tour de France in his city again The Belgian hoped to gain more time in the time trial but Ocaña was just 11 seconds slower than him he led the race by a hardly believable 7 minutes and 23 seconds and the mountains greeted it with a particularly harsh weather Ocaña was right on his wheel and thus fell over him Zoetemelk came around the bend and hit Ocaña in the back The overall leader was taken to the hospital by a helicopter and his GC hopes were done There is a memorial at the scene of the accident on the Col de Menté in the Pyrenees Eddy Merckx refused to wear the yellow jersey the next day in tribute to Ocaña Because there will always be doubts,” Merckx said after finishing in Paris Ocaña had to wait till 1973 to enjoy his Tour de France triumph The two never met again in the peak of their forms The Spaniard continued to battle his curse he retreated to a vineyard in the south of France Eddy Merckx even helped Ocaña find some customers The rider with no limits and no luck at all died on 19th May 1994 Best Dressed at Met Gala 2025 - Top 32 Red Carpet Looks Revealed!

Moises Ocana-Manon, 19, of the 100 block of Fairlawn Drive in Round Lake Park, was charged with aggravated battery of a peace officer, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, domestic battery and resisting a peace officer. Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Dino Katris said during a bond hearing that officers were called to a residence in Round Lake Park for a domestic battery call on Sunday. The grandfather of Ocana-Manon reported that his grandson pushed him. The grandmother told officers she witnessed Ocana-Manon push her husband and act in an aggressive manner, Katris said. Officers observed the victim to have red marks on him. Officers attempted to arrest Ocana-Manon for the battery but he resisted arrest. Katris said Ocana-Manon grabbed a police officer’s taser and discharged the taser, hitting the officer in the chest. Police were eventually able to take the man into custody. Lake County Judge Theodore Potkonjak ordered Ocana-Manon held on a $200,000 bond. Ocana-Manon has been released from the Lake County Jail after posting $20,000 cash, court records show. A preliminary hearing is scheduled in the case for July 13. No part of this website may be reproduced or stored in any form without written permission from Lake and McHenry County Scanner.

Their private garden, that used to have sunset views over an infinity pool, has recently been blocked by a big raw grey 15x9 mts. wall. They feel emotionally affected by that threatening wall whose spatial and material properties are by all means negative. It is flat, raw, hard, dry, dull, gloomy, gray, challenging and impenetrable. The concept must go far beyond a regular vertical garden. They have already discarded former projects. A simple green wall does not keep it from still being a wall. Negative properties are alleviated, not eliminated. We propose an active element that reacts to light and climate issues, with reflections, vegetation and sprayed water. Besides creating a new horizon, it climatizes the garden and creates new spaces and tours on it. To be clear, it is a toy that can recall their previous sunset experience. ModelThere are technical difficulties, related to previous conditions and production development. © Imagen SubliminalPrevious conditions difficulties are that we need an independent structure. We can not rely on the bad wall and there are only three areas of support at different heights. We must avoid and respect water treatment plants, the infinity pool and the stairs that go down to a basement. And, last but not least, we must make the structure modular, since all of it must go through a 2x1 mts. regular entrance door. 3DProduction develoment difficulties are mainly related to the neccesity of micropiling in controversial areas and mounting  33 structural modules (all different and decreasing in thickness towards the sky) without scaffolding On the other hand we had to make several prototypes of the elements that would provide the reflections They were executed in polished stainless steel and cylindrically curved to avoid glaring A network of 60 nebulizers fixed to fork pieces that come out perpendicularly from the structure modules forms a sprayed water cloud These forks are also intended to allow vegetation to spill over the mirrors The result is a new horizon that floods both garden and house Its spatial and material properties have now tunred positive You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInJesse Ocaña has been in the restaurant business for forty-five years we visited him at his second taqueria location on Villa Maria Road in Bryan Texas and spent a lot of time in the kitchen with his father who worked as a chef Many of the recipes he uses today are tried and true "These recipes have been handed down for years and years from him and from his family when he grew up in Mexico so it was a great experience with my dad," explained Ocaña He opened Jesse's Taqueria and Bakery on E 29th Street in Bryan in 2012 it has become a popular breakfast and lunch spot Jesse's Taqueria #2 on Villa Maria Road opened in the summer of 2018 One major difference is that the new restaurant serves dinner too There are a few dinner plates that are only available at the #2 location With a program that can accommodate seventy resident patients and twenty users of the day center the project takes as point of departure the idea that the centers for the elderly must be optimistic places and proposes creating a special atmosphere in a vital space dominated by free time and in which the users will spend the last years or months of their lives: a place that must not look like a hospital with neither corridors nor architectural obstacles developed on one floor and in which all the rooms open up to a ‘garden-lobby’ and to communal areas The project takes as point of departure the main program unit: the room The addition of these units adjusts little by little to the geometry of the built area which closes upon itself leaving a large interior garden A facility that offers total accessibility safety and respect for individual privacy; and that also eases access to visitors the project starts from a construction criterion that permits raising a 6,000 square-meter-building plus another 6,000 of gardens with the cost that a 4,000-square-meter building of this type would have The project starts from the basic program unit – the room which must have ideal dimensions and double circulation – towards the exterior The space it creates when it closes upon itself will be a large interior garden serving as main – and direct – access to each one of the rooms The built area is wrapped up by closing the piece to the exterior following the alignments marked by the program The rooms open up to a large clover-shaped interior garden that serves as principal and direct access; the three lobes are planted with flowers of different colors related with the programs they house The interior garden designs each one of the three lobes with flowering plants that bloom in different colors related with the programs they are going to house Between the residential area and the straight outer perimeter of the building emerges a ‘circulation-space’: an open flat and unusual space that accommodates both the program and circulation uses The enclosures consist of cellular polycarbonate in two-layer compositions The interior skin of the flat exterior enclosure is designed according to its geographic orientation: blue and greenish plastics along the north facade The bare reinforced concrete slab that forms the ceiling has orientation lines drawn up as the projection of the topographical plan of the quarries upon which it was founded There are three areas with three ranges of colors matching the tones filtered by the polycarbonates stressed by the color of the adapted freestanding bathrooms This palette of atmospheres that change in density and light intensity offers users a variety of choices concerning where to go and where to stay where one can move from one point to another without following the same itinerary It is moreover designed as a space of events able to stimulate the senses and lessen the spatial tedium and disorientation common to geriatric centers Laura Rojo (concurso competition); Fermina Garrido (proyecto project); Maja Frackowiatz Sebastian Dillner (obra construction);
