This episode features Dr. Kit W. Myers, associate professor of History and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Merced, discussing his book The Violence of Love: Race, Family and Adoption in the United States, which was published by the University of California Press in January 2025. The Violence of Love challenges the narrative that adoption is a solely loving act that benefits birth parents, adopted individuals, and adoptive parents—a narrative that is especially pervasive with transracial and transnational adoptions. Using interdisciplinary methods of archival, legal, and discursive analysis, Myers comparatively examines the adoption of Asian, Black, and Native American children by White families in the United States. He shows how race has been constructed relationally to mark certain homes, families, and nations as spaces of love, freedom, and better futures—in contrast to others that are not—and argues that violence is attached to adoption in complex ways. Propelled by different types of love, such adoptions attempt to transgress biological, racial, cultural, and national borders established by traditional family ideals. Yet they are also linked to structural, symbolic, and traumatic forms of violence. The Violence of Love confronts this discomforting reality and rethinks theories of family to offer more capacious understandings of love, kinship, and care.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for July 12th Publish Date: July 12th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, July 12th and Happy Birthday to Christine McVie I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gwinnett charges dropped against detained journalist Mario Guevara Local journalist Mario Guevara, known for covering Atlanta's Hispanic community and ICE operations, is no longer facing traffic charges in Gwinnett County. Solicitor General Lisamarie Bristol announced insufficient evidence to prosecute charges of reckless driving, unlawful use of a telecommunication device, and failure to obey signs, as the incidents occurred on private property. However, Guevara still faces federal immigration charges, with ICE questioning his legal status despite his work permit and ongoing efforts toward permanent residency. Guevara claims he is being targeted for his journalism, which has drawn local and national attention. STORY 2: Georgia Power to update energy forecasts amid uncertain demand Georgia Power's 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) faces scrutiny for overestimating energy demand, driven by the rapid growth of data centers. Critics, including environmental groups, argue the projections could leave ratepayers covering billions in stranded assets if demand falls short. While Georgia Power committed to updating forecasts and reporting on large-load projects, many called for stronger demand-side management (DSM) efforts to reduce energy needs. The utility plans to increase DSM spending from $90M to $160M annually, but some remain dissatisfied. The PSC will vote next week, with debates ongoing over coal plant operations and natural gas upgrades. STORY 3: Lawmakers conclude listening tour on access to cancer care Around 66,000 Georgians will be diagnosed with cancer this year, with 19,000 deaths expected, prompting state lawmakers to study ways to reduce these rates. Georgia exceeds national averages for lung, prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer, with rural areas facing significant barriers to care due to rising costs, limited access, and medical industry consolidation. Experts highlighted issues like pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) controlling drug markets and low reimbursement rates for clinics. Lawmakers aim to address drug pricing, access to screenings, and systemic healthcare challenges, with plans to continue studying cancer care access and solutions.

We’ll be right back Break 2: STORY 4: Deputies: Buford man threw deep freezer at 59-year-old at Lake Lanier after fight over nudity A Buford man, Logan Nicholas Young, 42, was arrested on July 3 after a bizarre incident on Lake Lanier involving public indecency, a fight, and a flying deep freezer. Young allegedly got naked on a boat, argued with a 59-year-old man, punched him, and later threw a deep freezer at him, causing a head injury and knocking him into the lake. Deputies found Young hiding under a bed on his houseboat after he ignored their attempts to contact him. He was charged with six offenses, including aggravated assault, and released on bond on July 6. STORY 5: Robert Michener named Gateway85 CID's interim executive director The Gateway85 Community Improvement District (CID) appointed longtime employee Robert Michener as interim executive director following Emory Morsberger's resignation after nearly 20 years of involvement. Michener, with 17 years at Gateway85, previously served as director of operations, overseeing infrastructure, security, and landscaping projects. Board Chairman Shiv Aggarwal praised Morsberger's contributions and welcomed Michener's leadership during the transition. The CID will continue focusing on economic development, mobility, and quality of life improvements as it searches for a permanent leader. Michener expressed excitement about guiding the district's next phase of growth. Break 3: STORY 6: 'Superman' stars excited to bring DC reboot to theaters Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced, and Anthony Carrigan star in the new "Superman" reboot, with Gathegi playing Mr. Terrific, Merced as Hawkgirl, and Carrigan debuting as Metamorpho. At a red carpet event in Atlanta, Gathegi contrasted his survival as Mr. Terrific with his infamous death as Darwin in "X-Men: First Class." Merced highlighted the mix of CGI and practical sets, comparing her Hawkgirl role to her experience in "Dora the Explorer." Carrigan, excited to bring fan-favorite Metamorpho to life, praised the detailed makeup used instead of CGI. STORY 7: Gwinnett fire investigators say arsonist tried to burn down Lawrenceville home Gwinnett County fire officials are investigating a suspected arson at a Lawrenceville home on Clairidge Lane on June 27. Firefighters responded to a fire alarm and smoke report, discovering an incendiary device behind the home. The fire was out by the time they arrived, and no injuries were reported. Officials are seeking public help to identify the suspect, with a potential reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Tips can be directed to the Gwinnett Fire Investigations Section or the Georgia Arson Control Hotline.

In this gripping episode, we delve into one of California's most haunting child abduction cases — the disappearance of 7-year-old Steven Stayner in 1972. Snatched on his way home from school in Merced, Steven vanished without a trace, leaving his family shattered and desperate for answers.For seven years, Steven was held captive by child predator Kenneth Parnell, forced to live under a false identity and manipulated into believing his family no longer wanted him. But in a courageous act that shocked the nation, 14-year-old Steven escaped in 1980 — and brought another kidnapped child, 5-year-old Timothy White, to safety with him.Intro Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHaMlS2txsASkip ahead to episode: 20.05⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.cluelesscrime.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/cluelesscrime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/cluelesscrime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instragram.com/cluelesscrimepodcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Quando si parte per le vacanze è importante conoscere i verbi giusti per descrivere tutte le attività che si possono fare. In questo articolo, esploreremo insieme i verbi italiani più utili da utilizzare durante un viaggio, con esempi pratici ispirati dal nostro viaggio nella splendida città andalusa di Malaga. Come Parlare di Viaggi in Italiano VISITARE Visitare la città e i posti più belli è la traduzione italiana del "sightseeing" inglese. Questo verbo indica l'azione di recarsi in un luogo per conoscerlo, esplorarlo e ammirarlo. A Malaga, potresti visitare il Museo Picasso, l'Alcazaba o la Cattedrale dell'Incarnazione. ESPLORARE Esplorare i mercatini tipici significa avventurarsi alla scoperta di luoghi meno conosciuti, indagando con curiosità e attenzione. A differenza di "visitare", che può essere più strutturato, esplorare implica un approccio più libero e avventuroso. AMMIRARE Ammirare i monumenti e le bellezze significa osservare con meraviglia e apprezzamento qualcosa di bello o notevole. Questo verbo esprime un'azione contemplativa, di godimento estetico. PASSEGGIARE Passeggiare per le strade della città indica il camminare a passo lento e rilassato, generalmente per piacere o svago. È un'attività perfetta per assorbire l'atmosfera di un luogo. GIRARE Girare tra le bancarelle significa muoversi liberamente in uno spazio, cambiando spesso direzione. È un verbo che evoca libertà e scoperta, perfetto per descrivere l'esplorazione dei mercati. FARE ESCURSIONI Fare escursioni si riferisce all'intraprendere viaggi o gite brevi, spesso a scopo ricreativo o educativo. Può includere attività all'aria aperta come trekking o visite guidate. FOTOGRAFARE/RIPRENDERE Fotografare monumenti, bellezze e paesaggi significa catturare immagini con una macchina fotografica o uno smartphone. Sinonimi includono "scattare foto a" o "registrare video di". FARSI UN SELFIE Farsi un selfie... o 100 è l'azione di fotografare se stessi, generalmente con uno smartphone, spesso includendo altre persone o luoghi di interesse come sfondo. È diventata un'attività immancabile durante i viaggi! METTERSI IN POSA Mettersi in posa significa assumere una particolare posizione del corpo per una fotografia. Può essere naturale o studiata, a seconda dell'effetto desiderato. FARE POSE ASSURDE/TURISTICHE Fare pose assurde o turistiche indica l'assumere posizioni divertenti, esagerate o tipicamente "da turista" per le fotografie, come abbracciare la statua di Picasso sulla Plaza de la Merced di Malaga. FILMARE UN TIKTOK Filmare un TikTok significa registrare un breve video per la piattaforma social TikTok, spesso con musica, effetti o coreografie. È diventato un modo popolare per documentare i viaggi. A proposito... ti ricordo di seguire LearnAmo su tutti i social, dove troverai tanti contenuti esclusivi e utili per il tuo apprendimento dell'italiano! Se non ci segui ancora... perché non ci segui ancora? FARE UNA COLAZIONE ABBONDANTE Fare una colazione abbondante significa consumare un pasto mattutino ricco e sostanzioso. In vacanza, spesso ci si concede colazioni più elaborate del solito. PROVARE IL CIBO TIPICO Provare il cibo tipico significa assaggiare e gustare i piatti caratteristici del luogo che si sta visitando. È un modo per conoscere la cultura locale attraverso la gastronomia. A Malaga, ad esempio, ti consigliamo di provare l'espeto de sardinas (sardine alla griglia cucinate sulla spiaggia in modo tradizionale), il gazpachuelo (zuppa calda a base di brodo, maionese e patate), la porra antequerana (variante più densa del gazpacho) e il delizioso vino Moscatel, tipico della regione. Ma non dimenticare di provare anche il cibo del tuo paese... Che fai,

Coming out of Merced in the Central Valley, GB aka Getto Boy is putting on for his hometown in a major way. The child of Mexican immigrants, he fell into gang culture but turned his life around during a prison stint when he became a father behind bars. Turning to music to express himself, GB received instant recognition after dropping his first music video. This led to attention from rap fans and labels in Northern California, and he's been dropping music ever since. He also developed his own clothing brand and gained recognition from the city of Merced and California State Assembly for his community philanthropy. But this made him a target for law enforcement, and he was caught up in a massive gang sweep that tried to overshadow his community spirit by defaming his reputation.

We also think there's some risk that that gap could grow,” said Kerstein.With no plan in sight to meet that shortfall, Kerstein says the project could grind to a halt in as little as 15 months.

Danny Royer is the Farm Coordinator at UC Merced. From smart farms to reimagining supply chains, we'll hear how Danny blends innovation with the art of growing food. He and Monte explore farming that looks at scaling back costs with sustainable practices as well as inspiring the next generation through real-world experience. Instagram: @esf_ucm https://www.instagram.com/esf_ucm?igsh=aml5Z3pmZmlyMXJ1 Danny was born and raised in Merced, California. Merced is located in the heart of California's Central Valley and is surrounded by production agriculture. Not having family ties to agriculture though, Danny found his passion for farming and agriculture through 4-H, FFA and on his best friend's farm just outside of Merced. He started his career in farming by irrigating pistachios in Madera at age 16 and eventually found himself working summers on a construction crew for Merced Irrigation District. After high school Danny took his passion for Agriculture to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. While he was there he continued to focus on broadening his work experience by taking on jobs at the Cal Poly Foundation Dairy and the Cal Poly Farm Shop. Danny Graduated from Cal Poly in 2008 with a degree in Agricultural Systems Management and minor in Agricultural Business. Cal Poly had prepared him for life after graduation, but Danny attributes his summer internships and combined work experiences to preparing him for the grind that would become the next eight years of his career. After graduating Danny worked in management and leadership positions for some of the largest farms and food production companies in California. After years of operational roles Danny transitioned into a new role as the VP of Technology for world renowned Bowles Farming Company. It was ag tech that allowed Danny to start driving change in operations and redefining company cultures. Danny's vast and extensive agriculture operations experience combined with the onslaught of ag tech allowed him to shift his strategy to incorporate ag tech solutions. After years of implementations and improvement iterations though, Danny was ready for something more. Along with being a serial agriculturalist and technologist, Danny is an active member in his Community of Merced. He serves as the Chairman of the Board for the Community Foundation of Merced County and actively engages in community events and initiatives. Lastly and definitely most importantly to Danny, he is very much a family man. Danny is married with three children, who are the light of his life and his mission to create sustainable food systems is driven by a desire to see a more balanced and sustainable world for his family.

The Los Angeles fires are a warning to all of us. Over the past week, lives, homes, businesses and entire communities have been lost in what's expected to be among the nation’s costliest disasters ever. But with more than one-third of the U.S. population living in counties with high wildfire risk, this begs the question: Should lots of people relocate? Crystal Kolden, director of the Fire Resilience Center at the University of California at Merced and a former wildland firefighter, said abandoning these places isn’t the only option. On the show today, Kolden explains why the L.A. fires have been so tough to put out, why wildfires are different from other natural disasters like hurricanes and floods, and how devastated communities can rebuild in a way that makes them more resilient to future fires. Later, a listener shares a teamwork approach to cleaning up after a house party. And, Brad Stulberg, author of “Master of Change,” was wrong about how to find motivation.

Crystal Kolden, director of the Fire Resilience Center at the University of California at Merced and a former wildland firefighter, said abandoning these places isn’t the only option. On the show today, Kolden explains why the L.A. fires have been so tough to put out, why wildfires are different from other natural disasters like hurricanes and floods, and how devastated communities can rebuild in a way that makes them more resilient to future fires. Later, a listener shares a teamwork approach to cleaning up after a house party. And, Brad Stulberg, author of “Master of Change,” was wrong about how to find motivation. Here’s everything we talked about today: “L.A. Fires Show Limits of America's Efforts to Cope With Climate Change” from The New York Times “Column: Recovery will be tempered by hard decisions and, if we aren’t careful, inequality” from The L.A. Times “Palisades and other Southern California fires could be most expensive in US history” from LAist “More People Are Living in the Riskiest Wildfire Zones” from Bloomberg “‘Zone Zero’ Mandates Near Completion for High Wildfire Risk Areas” from the Sierra Club “‘Conditions’ should be placed on California wildfire aid: House Speaker Mike Johnson” from USA Today We want to hear your answer to the Make Me Smart question.
