A juror in the closely-watched 'Take Care of Maya' trial, which recently awarded the Kowalski family $260 million against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHACH), underwent questioning by Judge Hunter Carroll following allegations of misconduct by the hospital's defense team. After a thorough examination, the judge concluded that the juror did not violate any orders, and the $260 million verdict remains intact.    The controversy surrounding the trial stemmed from claims made by JHACH's attorneys, who accused the juror of engaging in improper conduct, including sharing case details with his wife. She was present at the trial and frequently posted her thoughts about the proceedings on social media. The hospital's lawyers argued that the juror's questions in court mirrored the content his wife shared online, suggesting that the couple was exchanging information, a breach of court rules.    However, during the questioning, the juror, identified as Paul Lengyel, refuted these allegations. When asked by Judge Carroll whether he had discussed the case with anyone, including his wife, Lengyel firmly responded, "No, I did not."    Additionally, the juror explained that his limited eyesight due to diabetes neuropathy prevented him from identifying individuals in the courtroom, including his wife. The judge, after considering the responses, determined that there was no evidence of juror misconduct.    The 'Take Care of Maya' trial revolved around allegations made by the Kowalski family against JHACH, claiming that the hospital's actions led to the suicide of family matriarch Beata Kowalski. The case arose from the court's order to shelter Maya Kowalski, the family's child, at JHACH while child abuse allegations were investigated. During this time, Maya was not allowed physical contact with her mother. Tragically, Beata Kowalski took her own life after 87 days without seeing her daughter.    The jury's verdict found JHACH guilty of falsely imprisoning Maya, fraudulent billing, causing severe emotional distress, and involving social worker Catherine Bedy in battering Maya, along with medical neglect by Dr. Sally Smith.    Attorneys for JHACH subsequently sought a new trial and filed multiple motions alleging juror misconduct and bias. Among the accusations were claims that the juror had lied on a jury questionnaire, had already formed an opinion before deliberations began, and used inappropriate symbols when taking notes about Dr. Sally Smith.    Judge Carroll acknowledged that while the defense had raised multiple concerns about the juror's conduct, there was insufficient evidence to warrant a new trial. The $260 million verdict, a significant victory for the Kowalski family, remains unchanged.    Attorneys for JHACH expressed their gratitude to the court for interviewing the jury foreman and reiterated their intention to pursue an appeal. They look forward to presenting their case to the Court of Appeals, indicating that this legal battle may continue.  In response, the Kowalski family's attorney, Greg Anderson, acknowledged the ongoing legal challenges but emphasized the finality of the jury's decision. He stated, "If the defense was given the ability, they would never have stopped digging. They would never stop peeling the onion with the juror, and that's just not the way the system operates." The 'Take Care of Maya' trial, which garnered significant attention due to its high-stakes nature and emotional impact, has left a lasting legal and moral impact, with both sides continuing to advocate for their respective positions in the pursuit of justice.

In a verdict that has captured national attention, the Kowalski family was awarded over $250 million in their lawsuit against Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital. The case, laden with emotional turmoil and legal complexities, was recently dissected on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, featuring insights from trial consultant and body language expert Susan Constantine.    The crux of the case revolved around the treatment of Maya Kowalski and the subsequent suicide of her mother, Beata. The family's painful journey, marked by medical negligence and questionable practices at the hospital, culminated in a staggering financial judgment.    Constantine, renowned for her expertise in deciphering body language, offered a unique perspective on key testimonies during the trial. She was particularly struck by the demeanor of Sally Smith, whose body language she described as exhibiting a "bulldog" attitude. Constantine noted, "She had a lot of scowling that was around her mouth... and her arrogance... screamed loudly from that witness box."    Another pivotal figure in the trial was Catherine Betty, a social worker with a checkered past. Constantine analyzed her deposition, observing, "She looked like Joan Cleaver next door... but her overall appearance seemed to be soft and likable, but then that's where you kind of tie in the evidence." This contrast between appearance and actions was a recurring theme in Constantine's analysis.    The heart-wrenching testimony of Maya and her family was another focal point. Constantine, having met the family, conveyed the depth of their pain and the authenticity of their accounts. "The eyes are windows of their soul. So much sadness and brokenness... They were the most humble family," she reflected.    Constantine further discussed the impact of Beata Kowalski's suicide on the verdict. She emphasized the emotional charge the incident brought to the trial, stating, "That's a wound that never heals and it affects people for their lives."    The podcast also delved into the broader implications of such a substantial verdict on the medical community. Constantine speculated about the potential for class action lawsuits, highlighting the systemic issues the case has unearthed. "This is going to open up to be a massive class action lawsuit. You wait, it's coming," she predicted.    The verdict in the Take Care of Maya case represents more than just a financial penalty; it's a clarion call for systemic changes in hospital practices and accountability. The substantial sum awarded to the Kowalski family signifies a societal acknowledgment of the profound damages wrought by medical negligence and the need for more stringent oversight in healthcare institutions.    As the dust settles on this landmark case, one question lingers: Will the Take Care of Maya verdict be the catalyst for a new era of medical accountability and patient advocacy?

In a stunning verdict, the Kowalski family has been awarded over $200 million in a case against Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital, a ruling that could have far-reaching implications in the healthcare sector. This landmark decision, discussed in an episode of "Hidden Killers" with host Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, marks a significant moment in the intersection of healthcare and legal justice.    The case, rooted in a deeply tragic narrative, gained public attention for the egregious handling of young Maya Kowalski's care. In particular, the role of Catherine Betty, a therapist with a questionable past, became a focal point. Brueski highlighted Betty's previous record of restraining a child, resulting in a hefty settlement, questioning the oversight in hiring her at such a reputable institution as Johns Hopkins.    Coffindaffer, reflecting on the case, emphasized that while monetary compensation can never fully rectify the loss and torment endured by the Kowalskis, particularly following Beata Kowalski's suicide, it does serve as a crucial step towards accountability. She stated, "This is certainly some measure of justice for them... it's a bigger measure of really driving home a point that Johns Hopkins better get it together."    The trial's outcome raises critical questions about the autonomy and decision-making power of healthcare professionals. Coffindaffer pointed out the core issue was the hospital's failure to adhere to a proper adjudication process, effectively incarcerating Maya without just cause. "They're going to have to find another process than the process that was used by Johns Hopkins All Children's in terms of keeping somebody there without any process," she asserted.    A particularly contentious aspect of the verdict was the jury's decision to hold the hospital accountable for Beata Kowalski's suicide. Coffindaffer believes the jury saw a clear causation between the hospital's actions and Beata's decision to end her life. "They were held responsible, and they saw a clear causation," she explained.    Brueski raised the complexities surrounding the responsibility for an individual's suicide, especially if that individual may have been battling mental health issues. Coffindaffer's response underscores the jury's view that the hospital's actions directly contributed to Beata's tragic decision.    The verdict, while a legal victory for the Kowalski family, also highlights systemic flaws in healthcare. The case illustrates how decisions made by hospitals can have devastating consequences for families. Coffindaffer aptly noted the irony that the dangers Johns Hopkins purportedly sought to protect Maya from, ultimately manifested within its walls due to their decisions, not the choices made in Mexico.    As the case concludes, it sets a precedent that could reshape how hospitals handle similar situations in the future. The substantial financial penalty levied against Johns Hopkins serves as a stark warning to healthcare institutions about the importance of proper patient care and the severe repercussions of failing in that duty.    The "Take Care of Maya" case is not just a story of a family's fight for justice; it's a mirror reflecting the pressing need for systemic reform in healthcare. The verdict sends a clear message: hospitals must prioritize patient welfare above all, ensuring that such tragedies never recur.    In a world where medical institutions are trusted with lives, does the "Take Care of Maya" case signal a new era of accountability and change?

In a groundbreaking verdict that has sent ripples through the medical community, the Kowalski family was awarded over $250 million in their case against Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital. This decision, as discussed in the "Hidden Killers" podcast with host Tony Brueski and psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott, raises profound questions about medical responsibility, ethical practices, and the impact of such cases on the future of healthcare.    The case, centered around the tragic story of Maya Kowalski and the subsequent suicide of her mother, Beata, has sparked intense debate. Scott, while acknowledging the staggering amount of the verdict, emphasized the enduring emotional trauma experienced by the family, particularly due to Beata's suicide. "Kids never recover from a parental suicide... That's a wound that never heals," Scott remarked, highlighting the irreversible impact of such a loss.    Brueski delved into the complexity of attributing Beata's suicide to the actions of the hospital, a notion that the court seemingly upheld. Scott, however, suggested that the situation was more nuanced, pointing to potential vulnerabilities in Beata's mental health. "The bulk of that pain is from the death of their mother, you know, the mother's suicide," Scott explained, indicating that while the hospital's actions were questionable, Beata's decision to end her life might have stemmed from underlying issues.    The discussion further explored the hospital's handling of the case, especially the role of Catherine Betty, a therapist with a history of alleged child abuse. Brueski raised concerns about Betty's employment at the hospital given her past, suggesting a failure in the system's vetting process. Scott agreed, stating, "No, and even if she did not have these, you know, preexisting problems... she was in way over her head with this."    One of the critical aspects of the trial was the treatment of Maya at the hospital and the decision to separate her from her mother. According to Scott, while the hospital's medical decisions might not have been inherently wrong, the breakdown occurred in the execution and management of the case. "It was not a collaborative approach, which is so sad," she noted, underscoring the importance of a united front in healthcare.    The verdict's implications extend beyond the Kowalski family and Johns Hopkins. Scott warned of potential consequences in the medical field, where fear of similar outcomes could deter aspiring physicians and lead to more defensive medical practices. "This is exactly why so many young people won't go into medicine anymore," she cited, reflecting on the concerns within the medical community.    This landmark case, while offering some measure of financial redress to the Kowalskis, leaves behind a poignant lesson on the need for compassionate, ethical, and collaborative healthcare. It also serves as a stark reminder of the irrevocable harm that can result from a breakdown in trust and communication between healthcare providers and families.    In a world where medical professionals are often the last line of defense for families in crisis, can the healthcare system afford to overlook the importance of empathy and thorough vetting in its practices?

Can a documentary truly capture the multifaceted intricacies of a controversial case? The 'Take Care of Maya' trial is rapidly gaining public attention, especially after the Netflix documentary shed light on it. However, according to Tony Brueski, host of the podcast "Hidden Killers," the narrative portrayed may not be the complete picture.    Discussing the case with psychotherapist and author, Shavaun Scott, Brueski warns of the potential pitfalls of embracing a one-sided view. "You can walk away from that [documentary] with a very one-sided opinion on what is presented there," he observes. Scott further emphasizes, "There were things that were wrong on all sides of this case."    A significant portion of their discussion revolves around the allegation of Munchausen by proxy, also known as factitious disorder imposed on another. This condition often sees caregivers inducing or fabricating illnesses in those under their care. According to Scott, “90 percent of the time, it is a mother who is inducing this symptom. Pattern in the child.” Intriguingly, the majority of these caregivers, like Beata - Maya's mother, come from medical backgrounds.    Diving deeper into the complexities, Scott lays out the usual pattern of behavior seen in such cases: A parent, overtly loving and devoted, aggressively demanding specific, often unconventional treatments. A history dotted with various doctor visits and repeated hospitalizations. In Beata's case, these checkboxes were seemingly ticked.    The diagnosis of Maya's condition, Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), added another layer of mystery. Typically associated with significant limb injuries, its occurrence without such an event was puzzling. Furthermore, the diagnosing doctor, an anesthesiologist specialized in CRPS, was not board-certified. His lack of hospital affiliations and his seemingly maverick approach raised eyebrows in the medical community.    Scott adds, “She had seen over 30 physicians. She'd had other hospitalizations and at least in one of the other hospitalizations. One of the physicians treating her had said, we need to look at Munchausen by proxy here.”    While the suspicion from Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital might have been rooted in these discrepancies, the subsequent actions seem to be where the controversy truly deepens.    Another contentious issue raised was the 'ketamine coma' treatment pursued by Maya's mother. Not only was this treatment uncommon, but according to Scott, "Evidence has been presented that there was a 50-50 chance that she would not be normal and she might die." The rarity of CRPS, coupled with this unconventional treatment, which is not even offered in the U.S., made the situation even murkier. The Kowalskis' determination to find a cure led them to Mexico, and their journey was met with skepticism due to the considerable risks involved.    Scott empathizes, trying to understand the parental perspective. "Mothers do get very upset when they see their kids struggling. They may want to think out of the box." However, the unconventional routes taken by Beata, including the hyperbaric treatments and the controversial trip to Mexico, were deemed “weird” by many.    In the end, this conversation between Brueski and Scott beckons listeners to view the 'Take Care of Maya' trial with a discerning eye, probing beyond just the documentary's narrative.    To conclude, one might ponder: Can any single narrative truly capture the multifaceted intricacies of real-life events, or do we always need to dig deeper to find the obscured truths lurking beneath the surface?

However, the unconventional routes taken by Beata, including the hyperbaric treatments and the controversial trip to Mexico, were deemed “weird” by many.    In the end, this conversation between Brueski and Scott beckons listeners to view the 'Take Care of Maya' trial with a discerning eye, probing beyond just the documentary's narrative.    To conclude, one might ponder: Can any single narrative truly capture the multifaceted intricacies of real-life events, or do we always need to dig deeper to find the obscured truths lurking beneath the surface?

Amidst the solemn atmosphere of the courtroom, where the echoes of pain, allegations, and contentious testimonies have been swirling, Maya Kowalski once again took the stand, but this time for a cross-examination by the attorneys representing Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital.    "I have to live with this burning pain," Maya began, her voice firm yet charged with emotion. With this powerful opening statement, she set the tone for the courtroom, emphasizing the lasting physical and psychological trauma she endured during her stay at the hospital.    The legal representatives for Johns Hopkins, however, adopted a strategy aiming to shed light on some positive aspects of Maya's hospital experience. Their line of questioning, tactful yet pointed, was designed to highlight the care, attention, and medical treatment Maya received during her time at the facility. The attorneys went on to question the progress Maya had made post her hospital stay, suggesting that the institution had, in some ways, played a part in her recovery.    Though the cross-examination was expected to be intense, given the gravity of the allegations against the renowned hospital, the attorneys' approach was careful. It was evident they were attempting to paint a holistic picture of Maya's time at the hospital, one that didn't solely focus on the negative aspects but considered the entirety of her experience.    However, the overarching shadow of the lawsuit couldn't be ignored. The Kowalski family's pursuit of justice against Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital stems from their firm belief that the hospital's alleged child abuse indirectly led to Beata Kowalski's tragic decision to end her life. The weight of this assertion is immense, and its implications are vast, not just for the Kowalski family, but for the reputation and future of the hospital.    The 'Take Care of Maya' trial, as it has come to be known in media circles, is about more than just legal battles and medical discourse. At its heart, it delves deep into the raw emotions of a family torn apart and a medical institution striving to defend its reputation. As the trial continues, the testimonies presented, especially during moments as charged as cross-examinations, will shape the direction and eventual outcome of this landmark case.

The distressing Take Care of Maya trial has left the nation grappling with a haunting question: how did a prestigious institution like Johns Hopkins Hospital employ someone with a track record of child abuse to care for vulnerable children? This very question echoed throughout the latest episode of "Hidden Killers", as Tony Brueski sought answers from Neama Rahmani, attorney and former Federal prosecutor.    At the heart of this intricate legal puzzle is Catherine Betty, an individual with a dark shadow from 2007 looming over her – a $2.5 million settlement related to her restraint of a child while working for Suncoast. Despite this disturbing precedent, Betty found herself at the helm of the Maya Kowalski case at Johns Hopkins, a case that has sent shockwaves through the medical and legal communities.    Brueski didn't shy away from pointing out the glaring oversight. "How did Johns Hopkins employ someone like this who had a record of child abuse essentially to be working with Children?" he probed. The entire Kowalski family's ordeal – from being denied the right to be with their ailing daughter to the subsequent and heart-wrenching death of Maya's mother – can be traced back to, what many see as, gross negligence on the part of those responsible for Maya's care.    In the larger picture, Rahmani shed light on the complexities of the system. He acknowledged the imperfections within the child protective services: "There are many cases where I've seen, where social workers should have stepped in. Sure. They sided with the parents, and something terrible happens to the kids." However, as Rahmani explains, what stands out in the Kowalski case is not just the failure of one social worker but a systemic collapse of checks and balances.    A poignant part of their discussion revolved around the rare syndrome CRPS. As Rahmani, familiar with injury cases, emphasized, even a minor touch can be agonizing for someone with CRPS. The hospital's initial oversight in not considering this syndrome, only to later bill for its treatment, was highlighted as a potential starting point for malpractice claims.    Beyond the particulars of the Kowalski case, Rahmani pointed to a broader systemic issue. Cases where children genuinely need intervention sometimes get sidelined or are overshadowed by those where protective services become overly invasive, leading to devastation for innocent families.    What's shocking, however, is the revelation that this isn't an isolated incident at Johns Hopkins. At least 13 other families have reported similar experiences, with one father being incarcerated for nearly 300 days after a hasty evaluation.    Betty's defense, as paraphrased by Brueski, rests on the sheer volume of her work: "I've seen more than three thousand cases over the course of my career... and if only 13 of them I got wrong then, you know batting average isn't that bad." Yet, as Rahmani compellingly countered with an old English judicial principle, even one unjust incarceration is one too many, especially when it involves separating a child from their family.    The conversation concluded with a reflection on the somber end to Maya's story. Rahmani clarified the legal nuances surrounding attributing negligence to suicide, explaining the judge's decision to dismiss those claims. The law aside, the emotional turmoil and trauma faced by the Kowalski family remains undeniable.    So, as the dust settles on the Take Care of Maya trial, the nagging question remains: in a system built to protect, how did it go so horribly wrong for the Kowalski family, and how can such tragedies be prevented in the future?

Lawyer Howard Hunter presents the opening defense remarks in the 'Take Care of Maya' trial. The Kowalski family alleges that Johns Hopkins All Children's Medical Center wrongfully confined Maya when they sought medical care for her intense pain at the age of 10. The institution subsequently labeled her parents as perpetrators of "medical abuse," leading to Maya's removal from her household. This harrowing tale became the basis for the Netflix documentary, 'Take Care of Maya'.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On Todays episode, I have a full debrief with the eliminated contestants from ‘Australian Idol' 2023! We had our Top 12 performers cut down to 10 this week and I for one was quite shocked with some very talented singers going home. ‘Maya' and ‘Jasey' brought a lot to the ‘Channel Seven' competition and I think we now know how tough this rebooted ‘Idol' is going to be.  My first guest ‘Maya' is the oldest contestant this year - at 28 years of age. I love that she always saw herself going on the ‘Australia Idol' stage and never backed down on her dreams. We will talk judges comments, being the mamma bear amongst a very young top 12, how she took the elimination and what's next.   Then 25-year-old, ‘Jasey Fox' will join me  to unpack his time on the show.  It is no secret he was my favourite - so you may notice a  lot of affirmation coming from.  ‘Jasey' has a truck load of talent and an infectious passion for the entertainment industry and today he will discuss taking rejection. Not giving up, we will talk about ‘Australian Idol' and why it isn't just about a voice!  Plus we will some exclusives on the new series including some behind the scenes secrets which I am sure you will love.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Un juez federal mexicano suspendió de manera indefinida las obras del tramo 5 del Tren Maya por posibles daños al ecosistema de la península de Yucatán. RFI conversó con una ambientalista, un científico y un representante indígena que comparten sus inquietudes en torno a este emblemático proyecto del presidente Obrador. Es una franja color tierra de cientos de kilómetros de distancia y que interrumpe la inmensa cobertura vegetal en la península tropical de Yucatán. El trazado del Tren Maya ya es visible en la selva del este de México. Un faraónico proyecto con 10 mil millones de dólares de inversiones que el presidente mexicano Andrés Manuel López Obrador quiere inaugurar antes de que concluya su mandato en 2024. En total, 1.500 km de vías férreas conectarán las principales ciudades de 5 Estados, desde el sureste mexicano hasta la península de Yucatán. Con un objetivo claro, según las autoridades: que los 17 millones de turistas que visitan cada año Cancún y la Riviera Maya también viajen al resto de la península y al sureste mexicano, una zona marginada económicamente. Audioreportaje: Sin embargo, no todo el mundo lo ve así. Un inédito grupo de actores y actrices, cantantes, humoristas mexicanos como Eugenio Derbez armaron en redes sociales una campaña bajo el lema de “Sélvame del tren”. Sobre todo, para oponerse a la construcción de los tramos del Tren Maya que atravesarán la selva yucateca como el tramo 5. Al presidente López Obrador no le gustó nada esta movilización. “Convencen o contratan a artistas, a seudoambientalistas, supuestamente preocupados por la defensa del medioambiente y empiezan una campaña en contra del Tren Maya”, declaró en marzo de 2022. “Primero, estamos sembrando como nunca árboles en toda la ruta del Tren Maya: 200.000 hectáreas. Y se están creando en el sureste tres parques de 18.000 hectáreas de reservas naturales”, detalló el mandatario. Pero la dudas sobre este tren que funcionará con diesel y energía eléctrica no solo surgieron de la farándula mexicana. El mes pasado, más de 300 científicos mexicanos firmaron una carta abierta para al presidente en la que piden tiempo y reflexión sobre un proyecto que, según ellos, amenaza la biodiversidad. Monos y jaguares Las obras se topan además con un terreno lleno de sorpresas: la tala de árboles ha revelado sitios arqueológicos, cuevas y ríos subterráneos, característicos de un subsuelo kárstico detalla Luis Zambrano, doctor en biología e investigador de la Universidad nacional autónoma de la UNAM. Fue parte del colectivo de científicos que alertó al presidente mexicano. “El sistema kárstico es un suelo muy característico que no se da en cualquier parte del mundo. Es como si el suelo fuera como una galleta. El agua cruza muy rápido y fácil y se purifica muy rápido por el carbonato de calcio que precipita el fósforo y se vuelve muy transparente. Por eso los cenotes son tan atractivos”, explica el biólogo. La costa caribeña de la penísula de Yucatán (Estado de Quintana Roo) donde se construyen los tramos 5 y 6 del Tren Maya, alberga además numerosos ecosistemas. “Tenemos bosque, selva alta, selva baja, humedales y manglares. Por todos estos lados, va a atravesar el tren. En los humedales hay no menos de 30 especies de peces dulce acuícolas que no se dan en cualquier parte del mundo. Muchos de ellos viven en estos cenotes, estas cuevas donde hay mucha agua azul, que son el atractivo turístico”, detalla Luis Zambrano. El biólogo es escéptico ante la afirmación del presidente Lopez Obrador de que se compensarán el efecto de las obras con la siembra de millones de árboles en la región: “A los monos araña no les importa que tu siembres árboles frutales a 200 km de su área”. “Hay mamíferos de gran importancia que están perdiendo su hábitat, o lo ven fragmentado, como los monos, los jaguares y los murciélagos que son polinizadores”, agrega Zambrano. Otros activistas llevaron la pelea al terreno legal. Las obras del Tramo 5 del tren maya fueron suspendidas de manera indefinida por un juez mexicano el 30 de mayo tras un recurso de varias organizaciones ambientalistas. La justicia estima que el gobierno mexicano no ha presentado la evaluación de impacto ambiental (MIA) antes de la construcción de la obra. Dicho documento fue finalmente presentado el 18 de mayo pasado y reconoce los impactos negativos de las obras en el ecosistema, pero presenta medidas de mitigación. Las autoridades mexicanas necesitan ahora que la justicia valide este documento para reanudar las obras. Aleira Lara, directora de campañas de Greenpeace México, denuncia que el gobierno mexicano se haya saltado los mecanismos de evaluación de impacto ambiental para iniciar las obras del tren. “Junto con el Centro para la diversidad biológica, presentamos un recurso amparo que argumenta un decreto presidencial del 22 de noviembre pasado en el que se establece que los proyectos de gobierno que sean catalogados de seguridad nacional, puedan exentar leyes, en este caso la Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental”, dice a RFI. “Para Greenpeace, el Tramo 5 sienta un precedente muy preocupante en el que se puede empezar a construir obras solamente con una autorización provisional por parte de la Secretaría de Medioambiente, sin contar con los estudios necesarios para saber si es viable este proyecto en términos ambientales”, agrega Aleira Lara, quien también encabezó un operativo en el que activistas de Greenpeace se encadenaron simbólicamente a las máquinas de construcción de las obras. La ONG reconoce que “hay mucho que hacer para la movilidad en México” y propone por ejemplo “evaluar la implementación de un tren ligero (suburbano) en avenidas con derecho de vía, y que no sea únicamente turístico, sino para la gente que se mueve para sus trabajos”. La promesa: 1 millón de empleos Las obras del Tren Maya avanzan a paso lento. Hasta ahora, se ha construido menos del 30% del total de las vías según el fondo nacional de fomento al turismo, la agencia de gobierno encargada de las obras, junto con el ejército mexicano. El proyecto ferroviario trae consigo muchas promesas: la creación de más de 1 millón de empleos, un boom económico que podría sacar a cientos de miles de la pobreza, según la agencia de Naciones Unidas para la vivienda y un transporte más eficiente para las mercancías y la población local. El gobierno mexicano afirma por su parte que las obras han permitido crear 100 000 empleos en el sureste mexicano. “Estos son beneficios aparentes. Los empleos son empleos precarizados del turismo que es uno de los objetivos del Tren Maya”, alerta Angel Sulub, delegado del pueblo maya ante el Congreso nacional indígena de México que agrupa las organizaciones indígenas del país. Según él, el Tren Maya representa una visión del desarrollo económico que no comparte. “Detrás de estos empleos viene el despojo territorio y lo que llamamos un etnocidio porque nuestra cultura, nuestras formas de vida tradicionales, el trabajo comunitario en la ruralidad y la milpa están desapareciendo por esta idea de desarrollo ligado a lo urbano y el crecimiento económico”, enfatiza en entrevista telefónica con RFI. Para Sulub, “hay algo que está en pugna: es esta cosmovisión maya, una manera de relacionarnos con nuestro entorno, con la naturaleza que no vemos como un producto”. Sin embargo, en diciembre de 2019, las comunidades indígenas de la región fueron consultadas sobre el Tren Maya, y lo aprobaron con una mayoría contundente y una alta participación de votantes. “Fue una consulta simulada hacia los pueblos indígenas. Por poner un ejemplo, en el ejemplo de Felipe Carrillo Puerto en el que me encuentro, somos 88 comunidades mayas y únicamente la consulta se realizó en una comunidad. Sucedió lo mismo en los 5 Estados por donde pasará el tren”, replica Angel Sulub. El representante maya critica además la presencia del ejército mexicano, encargado de construir varios tramos del tren. En la zona donde se encuentra Zulub, el tramo 6 del Tren, las obras aún no han empezado, pero “ya están presentes los militares, ya están comenzando a construir los campamentos”. “Representa una militarización de la península de Yucatan”, concluye. Actualmente, las obras del tren están suspendidas en la Riviera Maya, la zona más turística y también la más frágil con su sistema de cuevas y su biodiversidad. La justicia examina actualmente varios recursos de organizaciones ambientales que estiman que no se cumplieron las normativas de análisis de impacto ambiental y que las obras representan un peligro para el subsuelo.

Rex and Youie turn their attentions to the female leads in the book, the movie, the play, and the musical. It's a little confusing but in all mediums it's Maya and Terra, but only in the movie it's Maya and Stephanie. Youie asks Rex why Terra's name was changed to Stephanie and the clue to the answer lies with Sandra Oh, the well-known Korean-Canadian actress who starred in Grey's Anatomy following her break in the movie Sideways. Youie asks Rex about why he came up with the names ‘Maya' and ‘Terra' and then Rex goes onto explain their psychology as characters, again referencing Jung (I don't know about you, but I'm starting to think I need to read all 20 volumes of Jung's work!). Rex then explains how the roles of Maya and Terra were shrunk a little for the movie from the book but then how he chose to expand and deepen their roles in the play and then subsequently the Musical (out soon!). We then deal with our first two questions from our readers, including one that leaves Rex stumped. He actually gets lost for words, for real! The other letter has led Rex and I to create a very special project that we can't wait to tell you about. The word of the podcast is an almost unpronounceable 'enantiodromia'.

On this weeks episode of #WeNeedToTalk, Malynda chats with Actress and Author Cerina Vincent. They chat about what sparked her to write her new childrens book about race, skin color and diversity, how it's important to start these conversations with children early, and what she is still learning about herself and how she can make a difference!   Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Cerina spent her formative years growing up in a large, loving Italian family and performing in stage productions, musicals and beauty pageants. After hanging up her crown as Miss Nevada Teen USA 1996, she moved to Hollywood and began working in film and television full time. With her radiant beauty, strong work ethic and ever-so charming personality, she was quick to be noticed by major casting directors.   Cerina's first major role was starring in the #1 kid's series in the world during the late 90's – “Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy” as ‘Maya' the Yellow Power Ranger. She quickly went from a TV superhero to a silver screen siren, picking up a Saturn Award Nomination for her performance in the horror sensation “Cabin Fever.” Swiftly becoming a world-renowned on screen ‘scream queen,' she went on to star in the films “Not Another Teen Movie,” “Return to House on Haunted Hill,” “It Waits,” “Monika,” “Tales of Halloween,” a mini-series for AMC's “The Walking Dead,” the short film “Darkened Room” (directed by David Lynch), “Killing Eleanor”, and dozens of other genre fan favorites. Beyond SyFy/Horror, her multi-faceted talent has led to guest roles on dozens of hit comedic shows, such as “Two and a Half Men,” “Mike and Molly,” “Workaholics,” and “Californication.”   Everybody Has a Belly Button is a timeless and delightful book for babies and toddlers that teaches our youngest readers about skin color, equality, and equity in the same way we teach our babies where their belly button, nose, eyes, and toes are. Cerina Vincent's effortless rhymes and Zoi Hunter's digital watercolor designs illustrate that “every body” is the same. And the subtle differences in our bodies' colors (eyes, hair, skin) is what makes us all beautiful and special, “like a rainbow.”

Today on Too Opinionated, we talk with actress/author Cerina Vincent about her new children's book Everybody has a Bellybutton! PUBLICATION DATE: March 11th , 2022 Cerina's first major role was starring in the #1 kid's series in the world during the late 90's – “Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy” as ‘Maya' the Yellow Power Ranger. She quickly went from a TV superhero to a silver screen siren, picking up a Saturn Award Nomination for her performance in the horror sensation “Cabin Fever.” Swiftly becoming a world-renowned on screen ‘scream queen,' she went on to star in the films “Not Another Teen Movie,” “Return to House on Haunted Hill,” “It Waits,” “Monika,” “Tales of Halloween,” a mini-series for AMC's “The Walking Dead,” the short film “Darkened Room” (directed by David Lynch), “Killing Eleanor”, and dozens of other genre fan favorites. Beyond SyFy/Horror, her multi-faceted talent has led to guest roles on dozens of hit comedic shows, such as “Two and a Half Men,” “Mike and Molly,” “Workaholics,” and “Californication.”  Aside from her well-accomplished acting career, Cerina has also had much success as a writer. She paired up with author Jodi Collins to co-write the 2007 female-empowerment best-selling book series published by HarperCollins, “How to Eat Like a Hot Chick” (2007), “How to Love Like a Hot Chick” (2009), and “Live Like a Hot Chick” (2010). In her free time, the Hollywood-based actress still spends time writing, cooking with family, practicing yoga (which she's done for over 20 years), being a full-time mom to Nico, spreading awareness for Cystic Fibrosis (a cause near and dear to her heart) and spreading her core-message of ‘kindness.' In 2020 she also launched her parenting podcast, “Raising Amazing” with co-host, Pediatrician Dr. Joel Gator Warsh. She's excited to put her passion for equality and raising kind children who are aware of the world around them into her first children's book “Everybody Has A Belly Button”. She uses the rhymes and illustrations (by Black Artist Zoi Hunter) to show children the ways we are all alike, despite what may appear to be our physical differences.  Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Durante meses, representantes del Ejército de Liberación Nacional y del Congreso Nacional Indígena de México han recorrido Europa en una gira llamada Gira por la Vida para denunciar obras de infraestructura en México que, según denuncian, violan los derechos de las comunidades. En este programa entrevistamos a Ángel Sulub, portavoz del CNI y natural de Quintana Roo, uno de los estados por los que pasará el controvertido Tren Maya, la obra faraónica de Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Es uno de los proyectos más importantes del mandato del presidente. El Tren Maya recorrerá 1.500 km por el sureste mexicano conectando ciudades y zonas rurales de los estados de Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán y Quintana Roo. El objetivo es desarrollar económicamente la región con la creación de polos industriales y energéticos, centros turísticos, y la creación de decenas de miles de puestos de trabajo. Pero el Tren Maya que ya ha comenzado a construirse choca con el rechazo de las comunidades locales para los que este proyecto no es "un tren ni tampoco maya". “No es sólo un tren. Estamos hablando de proyectos de desarrollo turístico, de agroindustria, de empresas eólicas y fotovoltaicas. Decimos que no es maya porque no es un proyecto que haya surgido de las necesidades del pueblo maya ni para su beneficio. Este tren es un proyecto que se está imponiendo en nuestro territorio sin la consulta ni el consentimiento de nuestros pueblos”, denuncia Sulub para quien el gobierno ha ignorado completamente a la población local y sus necesidades. “No queremos el modelo de Cancún, para las empresas es un modelo de desarrollo, para nosotros es un modelo de devastación y de muerte”, añade el portavoz del CNI. 144 hectáreas deforestadas A pesar de que el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador dijo que las obras del tren no iban a afectar a la selva, se ha registrado la deforestación de decenas de hectáreas, según denuncia el CNI. “En los últimos sobrevuelos que han hecho organizaciones que acompañan la defensa legal de los pueblos maya se detectaron 144 hectáreas que han sido deforestadas sin los permisos correspondientes y están desacatando disposiciones judiciales como suspensiones provisionales que hemos logrado a través de amparos. Hay una devastación ambiental con la construcción y habrá más con las nuevas ciudades”, precisa Ángel Sulub. Retrasos en los recursos de amparo Se han presentado 19 recursos jurídicos por parte de las comunidades y las organizaciones por violación de derechos ambientales, derechos a la consulta a los pueblos indígenas y de salud, pero está habiendo mucho retraso en los procesos. “Hay una dilación de los procesos judiciales. Hay amparos que llevan más de 15 meses en el poder judicial sin ni siquiera ser admitidos por un juzgado”, denuncia Sulub. 90.000 empleos creados Uno de los objetivos que se ha marcado el gobierno mexicano es la creación de decenas de miles de empleos en el sudeste mexicano. De momento se han creado ya cerca de 90.000 puestos de trabajo. Algo que el CNI no refuta, pero se pregunta sobre la calidad de estos empleos. “La generación de empleos es real, se generaron esos empleos y se generarán muchísimos más, pero la pregunta que nos hacemos es qué tipo de empleos son y para quiénes. Lo que nosotros vemos es que en los centros turísticos los empleos para el pueblo maya son empleos precarizados, son empleos en los que simplemente el pueblo maya es la servidumbre de la industria turística”, dice Ángel Sulub. #EscalaenParís también está en Facebook. Un programa coordinado por Florencia Valdés, realizado por Souheil Khedir, Fabien Mugneret y Vanessa Loiseau. 

To learn more about 'Sanskrit Non-Translatables', visit https://sanskritnontranslatables.com/ ‘Maya' is one of the most prominent and important words in the vocabulary of Hindu philosophy. It is a very pivotal concept in Indian thought and has gathered recognition in the vocabulary of English language as well. Unfortunately, the word ‘maya' is often mistranslated as ‘illusion' by not only the western scholars but also the Indian gurus and pundits. Even when it is used by the western scholars without translation in their English writings, it generally denotes an illusion or a false idea. This mistranslation of maya as illusion has created a general misconception among people that Hindu philosophy is world-negating, pessimistic and unproductive. In this video Babaji and Rajiv throw light on how ‘maya' is different from illusion and why it would be better if we stop translating maya as illusion.

He cannot escape that. It is only your unbounded love and unswerving faith that is required thereafter, and that will encourage Him in His duties towards you.

Shrimad Bhagavata Mahapurana Synopsis of the Twenty-Eight Session (Prthu Story continued) Bhagavata Chaturth Skanda (Book Four) Chapter 20 and 21  —————————————————- In the 27 th session we heard the story of Prthu and Archi. We made an attempt to decode the underlying message. However, sometimes it is essential to read word by word what is being said in the ‘Granth - Scripture', as the narration can not cover each and every pearl of wisdom.  Pearls of Wisdom Have been divided into four parts; - Lord talks when he Manifests himself in the sacrificial hall of King Prthu - Indra and Prthu bond - Prthu talks when the Lord offered him a boon - King Prthu teachings to his subject and the prerequisites to understand his teaching The Lord Said; 1. The pious souls in this world, who are possessed of good understanding and are the best among men bear no ill will agains there fellow being, as they know that the body is not theirs ‘Self'.  2. The people who render service to the elders (meaning by wisdom and not age) have a blessing and do not get bewildered by ‘Maya'. 3. The awakened souls know that body to be a product of ignorance, desire and action and never get attached to it.  4. When there is non attachment to the body, the wise man does not have a feeling of ‘Mine-ness' with regard to the house,  5. progeny or wealth, produced by that body. 6. The mind of the man who daily worships Me with reverence (in all his duties) expecting nothing from me, is purified.  7. He whose mind is purified dissociates himself with the world of matter and attaining true wisdom, enjoys eternal peace which is the same as my equipoised state and is also knows as the Brahma (The Absolute) and attains blessedness. 8. Ruler - Protection of the people is essential for the ruler, there by he gets one-sixth of the merit earned by the people and if he fails he incurs sins. 9. Ruler - He has to follow the sacred duties approved by the Brahmanas and enjoined by traditions, be unattached to them and rule with righteousness.  10. I (Lord) am not easily accessible through sacrificial performance or austerities or even yoga (concentration of mind), dwelling as I do in the heart of the ‘Even-Minded'. Note: 1. Horse Sacrifice - Animal sacrifices were prevalent. When an animal was brought for sacrifice, it was promised that he would get a higher birth, which will enable them to cross the ocean of mundane existence. If not, the person who was sacrificing it, would offer himself as a sacrifice. Such was the strength, that the ‘Demi Gods' themselves came down to take the offering of the sacrifice. (When this connection and power was lost, sacrifices were stopped gradually) 2. Brahmanas - Nobody is a Brahmin by birth, the one who knows ‘Brahman-That divine bliss' is a Brahmin. (Gita pages sent) 3. Self - Is the one without a change, pure, self-effulgent, beyond the three Gunas, the substratum of the divine attribute, all pervading, unveiled, the witness of all, having no other soul and distinct from the body 4. Equipoised state, Even-Minded Stith Pragna - Enlighted souls who never give way to the morbid feelings of joy and grief, when the meet with affluent and adverse circumstances. They view the exalted, the middling and the vile alike and are balanced in joy and sorrow. Have conquered the world of dualities, the senses and he mind.  King Prthu and Indra Lord Vishnu himself brings Indra to Prthu and Indra is about to touch the feet of Prthu as an apology for his offence of disrupting the Yagna. Note: Prthu did not let Indra touch his feet instead embraced him. Indra (Indriyas) should never be suppressed. When one sublimates, there is no need to suppress.  In other words, sublimate means reach for the higher, the lower tendencies will drop on its own. Reach for the Lord, the Mind (maan, budhi, chitha, ahenkar.. whatever we intent to call it) and the Indriyas will start to...
