Gov. Kathy Hochul vowed that getting New York’s budding marijuana sales program off the ground will be a high priority.

Scandal-scarred ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state Legislature approved the law back in March that legalized the sale of weed in New York.

But Cuomo — locked in a dispute with the state Senate — didn’t nominate an executive director for the new Office of Cannabis Management or name appointees to the Cannabis Control Board, even though the Marijuana Taxation and Regulation Act was passed months ago.

The Senate must confirm the appointments.

The appointments are necessary to set up and approve new rules and licensing for firms and employees in the emerging marijuana industry — from cultivation to sales.

During negotiations over the cannabis appointments, Cuomo was embroiled in a separate spat with the legislature over leadership changes he wanted to make at the MTA. He was ticked off after lawmakers blocked legislation to split the top MTA leadership positions into two posts — and a spokesman even suggested the transit agency appointments and cannabis ones were linked

Hochul on Wednesday promised to clear the logjam.

“Nominating and confirming individuals with diverse experiences and subject matter expertise, who are representative of communities from across the state, to the Cannabis Control Board is a priority for Gov. Hochul,” the new governor’s spokesman, Jordan Bennett, told The Post.

“We look forward to working with the legislature to keep this process moving forward,” the Hochul rep said.

It’s more than a token gesture.

Hochul has discussed her desire to move on the cannabis appointments with Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx).

“They have spoken about the need to make appointments to the board,” said Mike Murphy, a spokesman for Stewart-Cousins.

Heastie also said that Hochul made clear that implementation of the marijuana program would be a priority during a private meeting he attended with the new governor and Stewart-Cousins on Tuesday.

“She did say that that was something that she wanted us all to concentrate on — and we agreed,” Heastie said.

Under the law, New York will charge a 13 percent excise tax on marijuana sales, with 9 percent going to the state and 4 percent to local governments.

A wholesale tax will be charged based on potency — a cent per milligram on edibles, eight-tenths of one cent on concentrated cannabis and a half-cent per milligram on flowers or buds.

New York officials estimate that marijuana sales could generate $350 million a year in tax revenue for government coffers and create jobs for residents in disadvantaged communities.

Massachusetts has been selling cannabis at local pot shops since the fall of 2018 — with many customers crossing the border from upstate New York.

New Jersey and Connecticut also recently passed laws legalizing the sale of marijuana for recreational use and are moving to set up rules for the new industry.

From the moment you step into the restaurant Casa Toribio in Madrid, you will see that it’s, well, full of bull. Along with statues dedicated to the animal, several photographs and paintings of matadors — waving red capes in their gallant outfits — adorn the walls, honoring a much-debated bloody Spanish tradition that dates back to 711 A.D. with the coronation of King Alfonso VIII.

It’s not uncommon for Spanish restaurants, especially those catering to international tourists, to advertise bullfighting, sangria and flamenco. (Note: Not all of Spain has bullfighting, sangria and flamenco.) And Casa Toribio is in a prime location — just down the street from Madrid’s famous bullring, Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas.

But for Casa Toribio, the attention given to bullfighting goes much further than aesthetics. The restaurant prides itself in offering a special dish not found on most menus: carne de toro de lidia, or meat from a bull killed in a bullfight.

“We’re the only restaurant in the world that has meat from fighting bulls all year round,” says owner Toribio Anta, who opened the restaurant in 1981. There are several photos on the walls of him posing with famous bullfighters. “It started off as a sort of joke, when 23 years ago I walked down to the Plaza to ask if I could buy some of the bull meat. And it became a huge success.”

As an Argentine who grew up in Texas, I’ve eaten more than my fair share of meat. But I’d never tried bull before — much less a bull that died in battle in front of hundreds of spectators, a breed of bull known as toro de lidia, or fighting bull. But on the morning I visited, Anta said the dish wasn’t ready yet — the restaurant is only open for lunch, and the cooks hadn’t yet finished prepping.

“It’s a tough meat,” says Anta. “We cut the meat ourselves, then cook it with red wine overnight, and then it’s stewed for four hours before we can serve it.”

Eating the bulls’ meat after a bullfight is not a new phenomenon. But Anta’s restaurant has a sort of monopoly on the industry, and he’s quick to boast about it.

“The meat from fighting bulls isn’t found anywhere else,” he says, adding that most of his clients are tourists from Latin America. “It’s not available in other restaurants because I have almost all of it.”

A bullfight almost always ends with the matador killing off the bull with his sword; rarely, if the bull has behaved particularly well during the fight, the bull is “pardoned” and his life is spared. After the bull is killed, his body is dragged out of the ring and processed at a slaughterhouse. From there, the meat is distributed to different vendors. During the bullfighting fiestas — days-long festivals in various Spanish cities throughout the year (the most famous being Pamplona’s Running of the Bulls) — local restaurants and butcher shops offer bull meat for a limited time; essentially, for as long as the festival takes place. It becomes part of the festivity itself: watching the bullfights, then eating the bulls. (Anta’s restaurant, on the other hand, has fighting bull on the menu every day of the year.)

Yet as public perception toward bullfighting shifts in Spain (it’s already illegal in the autonomous region of Catalonia and in the Canary Islands), some gastronomists say the bull’s meat is actually more organic than the meat people buy in grocery stores.

“It’s the most ecological meat in the world,” says Ismael Díaz, a nutritionist and gastronomic expert who’s written a book on the topic. “In no other meat industry in the world is the animal as well taken care of, or as protected, as the fighting bull. That is, until he enters the ring.”

Díaz says that, historically, the corrida (or the “run”) was done with bulls on their way to the slaughterhouse; the more aggressive bulls were used in fights as entertainment. Once killed, the bull’s meat was given to the matador, who would take the meat back to his hometown, where it would be made into a stew for the whole village to feast on.

“Bulls were used for their meat before they were used for the fight,” says Díaz. “But that changed over the years. The fighting bull evolved into a species of its own with specific characteristics, and its secondary function became that of its meat.”

At Casa Toribio, a variety of cuts from the bull’s meat are available, but the most popular dish is the rabo de toro, or the bull’s tail. Anta says it is impossible for customers to know what bull they’ll be eating that particular day — the restaurant has hundreds of frozen bulls waiting to be cut and cooked. He says he buys bull meat from about 100 bullfighting plazas across the country — and even some in Portugal. That amounts to hundreds of fighting bulls a season, which lasts from March to November. Madrid’s plaza alone sends Anta about 500 bulls each year.

The meat from a fighting bull is “unique,” says Anta. “The smell, the taste … it’s as if we spoke of a free-range chicken versus a chicken bought at the grocery store. Right now, we have seven of the bulls that fought against [famous Spanish bullfighter] José Tomás. We want to advertise them online, in case someone wants to eat them. I’m even going to invite the bullfighter himself.”

Díaz said some parts of the meat are especially sought after when people eat fighting bull — traditional folklore says that the bull’s testicles increase fertility.

“For a long time, meat from a fighting bull was considered an energizing meat,” says Díaz. But he added that it wasn’t seen as a specialized dish until recently, when it became part of a larger trend to eat more organically.

Bulls bred for bullfighting are grass-fed, live in spacious fields and are particularly well taken care of, says Díaz. They also live a longer life than animals bred for human consumption — five to six years, as opposed to the average 18 months. Díaz argues that eating meat from fighting bulls is “more ethical” than eating meat that comes from slaughterhouses, where animals often grow up in cramped spaces, are injected with hormones and don’t get to see the light of day.

“The fighting bull lives a completely privileged life, until its horrible death,” says Díaz, who recognizes that the animal “suffers stress” when it enters the ring. He says that, while the tense fight can affect the taste of the meat, there are treatments cooks can apply to the meat that improve the taste. “So what’s better,” he asks, “a good life with a difficult death, or a limited life with a death that’s a bit less cruel?”

Neus Aragonés at the Barcelona-based Association for the Defense of Animal Rights (Asociación Defensa Derechos Animal) says that, contrary to what some people believe, bulls “don’t live like kings.”

“They’re abused even before they enter the fighting ring,” she says. “At 9 months old, they’re already tested for their aggressiveness by being provoked. Breeders want to see which bulls get angrier.”

Aragonés’ organization opposes bullfighting, but is not against eating meat; they defend the right of all animals to live a good life. She says eating the meat of an animal who faced a “cruel death” and a “questionable upbringing” is not ethical. And, she argues, meat from fighting bulls shouldn’t be considered ecological.

“They’re just sticking the ‘ecological’ label on it because they know that people are now more concerned with what they’re eating,” says Aragonés. “The bullfighting lobby is very powerful, and they’re afraid of losing that tradition.”

Ten new pro-gun laws will take effect in Texas in four weeks, less than a month after 22 people died in a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measures after they were passed in a 2019 legislative session that the National Rifle Association, or NRA, called “highly successful” at the time, celebrating that the measures “will further loosen Texas’ permissive gun laws” and would send the “gun control crowd home empty-handed.”

Texas is home to almost 1.4 million holders of active firearm licenses, and five of the 20 deadliest mass shootings in the United States since 1900 have occurred in the state. Among them is the rampage in El Paso, where authorities said Monday that the number of deaths had risen to 22.

The NRA said its “deepest sympathies are with the families and victims” of the shootings in El Paso and in Dayton, Ohio, where nine people were killed Sunday. The organization said it wouldn’t “participate in the politicizing of these tragedies.”

The NRA did heavily influence the political process in Texas, however, lobbying for all 10 of the new bills, some of which will make it easier to store or carry guns in foster homes and on church and public school grounds:

  • Foster homes: A bill that was cleared May 21 and signed by Abbott weakens state laws on safe storage of firearms in foster homes.

Texas had previously permitted approved foster parents to keep licensed firearms in their homes, but only if weapons and ammunition were stored in separate locked locations. The new law allows guns and ammunition to be stored together in the same locked location — a protocol that is discouraged by the pro-gun National Shooting Sports Foundation.

When the law was passed, the NRA’s lobbying group, the Institute for Legislative Action, or NRA-ILA, called it “just the first step toward restoring the Second Amendment rights of foster parents and their families.”

  • Churches: A new law removes “the premises of a church, synagogue or other established place of religious worship” from the list of locations where carrying a licensed handgun is a misdemeanor. Beginning Sept. 1, gun owners will be allowed to carry properly licensed handguns into a church unless the church explicitly declares that it bans weapons on its grounds.

“Places of worship are not crime-free zones, as Texans sadly know,” the NRA-ILA said in backing the measure, apparently referring to the killings of 26 worshipers at First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs in November 2017. “And current law, as written, only serves to confuse and potentially disarm law-abiding citizens.”

“She is, I think, the leader of the non-Trump Republicans, and I don’t know how big that group is,” said Bill Kristol, a prominent conservative critic of Trump who chairs the Republican Accountability Project. “It could be 10 to 15 percent of the party, though, and that is a lot of people. It is a fair number of donors, and it has the potential to grow.”

NOTICIAS  TELEMUNDO  PRESENTS:

“MURIENDO POR CRUZAR,” AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE INCREASING NUMBER OF IMMIGRANT DEATHS ALONG THE BORDER, THIS SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 AT 6 P.M./5 C

Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval present the Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production

Miami – July 31, 2014 – Telemundo presents “Muriendo por Cruzar”, a documentary that investigates why increasing numbers of immigrants are dying while trying to cross the US-Mexican border near the city of Falfurrias, Texas, this Sunday, August 3 at 6PM/5 C.  The Telemundo and The Weather Channel co-production, presented by Noticias Telemundo journalists Carmen Dominicci and Neida Sandoval, reveals the obstacles immigrants face once they cross into US territory, including extreme weather conditions, as they try to evade the border patrol.  “Muriendo por Cruzar” is part of Noticias Telemundo’s special coverage of the crisis on the border and immigration reform.

 

“‘Muriendo por Cruzar’” dares to ask questions that reveal the actual conditions undocumented immigrants face as they try to start a new life in the United States,” said Alina Falcón, Telemundo’s Executive Vice President for News and Alternative Programming.  “Our collaboration with The Weather Channel was very productive. They have a unique expertise in covering the impact of weather on people’s lives, as we do in covering immigration reform and the border crisis. The result is a compelling documentary that exposes a harrowing reality.”

“Muriendo por Cruzar” is the first co-production by Telemundo and The Weather Channel.  Both networks are part of NBCUniversal.

Da la impresión de que es imposible abrir un periódico o poner la televisión sin que nos informen sobre un nuevo suceso terrible. 

Una intentona militar en Turquía, un atentado en plena fiesta en Francia, una colisión de trenes en Italia, la toma de un cuartel policial en Armenia y un nuevo ataque mortal contra varios policías en Estados Unidos: todos estos eventos se produjeron en una semana.

Tal flujo de contenido violento en los medios de comunicación no puede menos que dar pie a una pregunta: ¿Qué es lo que nos pasa bajo la influencia de las malas noticias?

Vivimos en un mundo sobrecargado de información, donde las noticias vienen de todas partes: televisión, radio e Internet.

Las noticias negativas a menudo son acompañadas con fotos y videos desagradables o incluso horribles. Varios científicos e investigadores coinciden en que el consumo permanente de brutalidad no puede menos que afectar al ser humano, informa el portal Slon.

El efecto negativo de la observación regular de traumas y del contacto con personas que están sufriendo es conocido entre el personal médico como ‘traumatización vicaria’, o ‘estrés traumático secundario’.

La psicóloga Anita Gadhia-Smith contó a ‘The New York Times‘ que el grado de influencia de la violencia en las noticias depende del individuo, pero son dos los efectos más comunes: la insensibilización, por un lado, y la creciente sensación de vulnerabilidad e incapacidad, por el otro. 

Investigadores de la Universidad de Bradford (Reino Unido) realizaron un experimento que involucró a 189 voluntarios adultos a los que sometieron a imágenes y noticias violentas, como los atentados terroristas en EE.UU. del 11 de septiembre de 2001.

El 22% de los participantes desarrolló síntomas semejantes al trastorno por estrés postraumático, que es una reacción emocional persistente a un trauma que severamente deteriora la vida.

El análisis mostró que aquellos que avistaban eventos violentos con  mayor frecuencia, eran más vulnerables a los efectos negativos. Además los extravertidos resultaron ser más susceptibles.  

Los periodistas que cubren los eventos violentos y tienen acceso a imágenes no censuradas son también susceptibles a su efecto destructivo, desarrollando ansiedad, trastornos psicológicos, depresiones y la adicción al alcohol.

Según el psicólogo británico Graham Davey, citado por ‘Huffington Post‘, ver noticias sobre violencia o muertes intensifica nuestras preocupaciones y ansiedad. Además, afecta a nuestra habilidad de interpretar el mundo circundante e interactuar con él.

Sintiendo ansiedad o tristeza, de manera subconsciente nos preparamos para eventos negativos y tratamos eventos neutrales como algo negativo. De esta forma se entra en un círculo vicioso.

¿Cómo hacer frente al efecto negativo de las malas noticias?

La mayoría de los consejos al respecto se limitan a lo obvio: reducir la exposición a las noticias violentas. Con ese fin ofrecen centrarse en medios de periodismo positivo.

Algunos expertos recomiendan aprender a leer las noticias pasando por alto los detalles que proporcionan los periodistas para cargar las tintas.

Para aquellos que no están dispuestos a privarse de los detalles, los psicólogos recomiendan controlar sus emociones, recordar el efecto negativo de este tipo de noticias y evaluar de manera correcta los riesgos que presentan eventos, por ejemplo: la posibilidad de morir en un atentado terrorista es muy pequeña.
