What is organized crime?
Organized crime was characterised by the United Nations,
in 1994, as: “group organization to commit crime; hierarchical
links or personal relationships which permit leaders to control
the group: violence, intimidation and corruption used to earn
profits or control territories or markets; laundering of illicit
proceeds both in furtherance of criminal activity and to infiltrate
the legitimate economy; the potential for expansion into any new
activities and beyond national borders; and cooperation with
other organized transnational criminal groups.”
It is increasingly global. Although links between, for
example, mafia groups in Italy and the USA have existed for
decades, new and rapid means of communication have facilitated
the development of international networks. Some build on shared
linguistic or cultural ties, such as a network trafficking drugs
and human organs, which links criminal gangs in Mozambique,
Portugal, Brazil, Pakistan, Dubai and South Africa. Others bring
together much less likely groups, such as those trafficking arms,
drugs and people between South Africa, Nigeria, Pakistan and
Russia, or those linking the Russian mafia with Colombian
cocaine cartels or North American criminal gangs with the
Japanese Yakuza. Trafficked commodities may pass from group
to group along the supply chain; for instance heroin in Italy
has traditionally been produced in Afghanistan, transported by
Turks, distributed by Albanians, and sold by Italians.
Organized crime exploits profit opportunities wherever
they arise. Globalization of financial markets, with free
movement of goods and capital, has facilitated smuggling of
counterfeit goods (in part a reflection of the creation of global
brands), internet fraud, and money-laundering. On the other
hand, organized crime also takes advantage of the barriers to
free movement of people across national borders and the laws
against non-medicinal use of narcotics: accordingly it earns vast
profits in smuggling migrants and psychoactive drugs. Briquet
and Favarel have identified deregulation and the “rolling back
of the state” in some countries as creating lacunae that have
been occupied by profiteers. The political changes in Europe
in the late 1980s fuelled the growth in criminal networks, often
involving former law enforcement officers. Failed states, such
as the Democratic Republic of Congo or Sierra Leone, have
provided further opportunities as criminal gangs smuggle arms
in and commodities out, for example diamonds, gold, and rare
earth metals, often generating violence against those involved
in the trade and in the surrounding communities. Finally, there
are a few states, such as the Democratic Republic of Korea and
Burma and Guinea-Bissau (once described as a narco-state)
where politicians have been alleged to have played an active role
in international crime.
Organized criminal gangs have strong incentives. Compared
with legitimate producers, they have lower costs of production
due to the ability to disregard quality and safety standards,
tax obligations, minimum wages or employee benefits. Once
established, they may threaten or use violence to eliminate
competitors, and can obtain favourable treatment by regulatory
authorities either through bribes or threats.

Violence Prevention Among Young People in Brazil
Crime and violence have increased dramatically in Brazil in recent decades, particularly in large urban areas, leading to more intense public debate on causes and solutions. The right to life is the most fundamental of all rights. Having security means living without fearing the risk of violation of one’s life, liberty, physical integrity or property. Security means not only to be free from actual risks, but also to be able to enjoy the feeling of security. In this respect, human rights are systematically undermined by violence and insecurity.
UNESCO expects to play a primary role in supporting actions of social inclusion to help in the prevention of violence, especially among young people. The attributes and resources to be found in the heart of the Organization’s different areas will be grouped around this objective.
Violence is seen as a violation of fundamental human rights, as a threat to the respect for the principles of liberty and equality. An approach focused on the access to quality education, to decent jobs, to cultural, sports and leisure activities, to digital inclusion and the protection and promotion of human rights and of the environment will be implemented as a response to the challenge of preventing violence among youths. Such approach should also help in creating real opportunities for young people to improve their life conditions and develop their citizenship.

Q521747
Inglês
Bertrand Piccard and his co-pilot Brian Jones were the first people to fly around the Earth in a balloon non-stop in 1999.
I learnt to fly in a balloon in a race across the Atlantic Ocean in 1992 and became fascinated by the sport. In the same way that a mountain climber dreams of climbing the world's highest mountain, I dreamed about flying non-stop around the world.
I spent six years planning the flight and failed twice before we managed to succeed. Our route took us over China, but we could only get permission to travel over the south. This meant going first to North Africa to catch the right winds. That added 10,000 kilometers, and another week, to our journey. But because of this, our flight broke all the records for distance and time spent in the air.
My main memory of the trip is that we lived in the air for 20 days and the rising sun was the most amazing thing we saw. We had to go out of the balloon's capsule, in which we were transported, three times while in the air to repair the fuel system. We didn't have any safety equipment but when you are in a situation like that, you just do what you have to do without thinking about feeling afraid.
Landing was a fantastic moment. I remember when I got out of the capsule, I looked at my footprint in the sand. I remembered the astronaut Neil Armstrong who was so happy to put his footprint on the moon, so far away from Earth. At that moment, I was so happy to have my foot back on Earth!

What was the newspaper headline after the balloon landed?

Michael Jackson went 60 days without real sleep
Michael Jackson died while preparing to set a world record for the most successful concert run ever, but he unknowingly set another record that led to his death.
Jackson may be the only human ever to go two months without REM - Rapid Eye Movement - sleep, which is vital to keep the brain and body alive. The 60 nights of propofol infusions Dr. Conrad Murray said he gave Jackson to treat his insomnia is something a sleep expert says no one had ever undergone.
“The symptoms that Mr. Jackson was exhibiting were consistent with what someone might expect to see of someone suffering from total sleep deprivation over a chronic period,” Dr. Charles Czeisler, a Harvard Medical School sleep expert, testified Friday at the wrongful-death trial of concert promoter AEG Live, company that hired Dr. Conrad Murray as Jackson's personal physician.
Propofol disrupts the normal sleep cycle and offers no REM sleep, yet it leaves a patient feeling refreshed as if they had experienced genuine sleep, according to Czeisler.
If the singer had not died on June 25, 2009, of an overdose of the surgical anesthetic, the lack of REM sleep may have soon taken his life anyway, according Czeisler's testimony Friday.

Empirically Based Leadership
A significant area of interest within the US Army empirical literature on leadership is emotional intelligence (EI), which in recent years has been the focus of considerable attention in relationship to leadership efficacy. Emotional intelligence involves an awareness of one’s own emotions as well as the ability to control them, social awareness of others and their emotions, and the capacity to understand and manage relationship and social networks.
In understanding others’ emotions, an important contributing factor to the success of the more effective military officers is their ability to empathize with their subordinates. In discussing empathy, FM (Field Manual) 6-22 defines it as “the ability to see something from another person’s point of view, to identify with and enter into another person’s feelings and emotions”. Empathy is not typically a quality that most soldiers would readily identify as an essential characteristic to effective leadership or necessary to producing positive organizational outcomes, but it is an important quality for competent leadership, especially as it relates to EI.

Welcome to Madrid: City of Protests
Madrid (CNN) - “The people, united, will never be divided!” yells the crowd, angrily waving banners and placards. “To fight is the only way!” Dog-walkers, mothers with strollers, and pensioners carrying shopping bags join the crowd. These people on the sidewalk are no curious neighbors. Indeed, many of them are complete strangers to the family living on the fifth floor, but they are all here to protect Rocio from eviction - being forced to leave her property by legal process.
Rocio and her son, now 17 and in high school, moved from Ecuador in 2003, when times were good and jobs plentiful in Spain. But then the global financial crisis hit, bringing Spain’s economy down, Rocio lost her two jobs - in a shop, and as a cleaner. For a while, Rocio got by on benefits, but then those stopped too. She is an example of the crisis many Spaniards face as the country deals with the highest unemployment rate since the Civil War in the 1930s, and a recession entering its second year. “I can’t stand the thought of living on the streets with my son, but I have no idea where else to go”, she says.
Rocio’s story is echoed by others all over Spain. It is this fear that took many Spanish citizens to action. Many of those people who are outside the door of Rocio’s apartment block are supporters of “Stop Desahucios” (Stop Evictions), part of the Platform of People Affected by Mortgages (PAH - Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca), a group that campaigns to prevent banks and authorities from eviction because of the country’s economic crisis. They accuse the banks and authorities of “real estate terrorism”.
There are also the mass marches of the 15-M movement - also known as the “Indignados”. Activist Dante Scherma, 24, says citizens were not used to speaking out on political issues. “The 15-M movement made people talk about social issues, and about politics in normal conversations - in cafés, restaurants, bars - where before they only talked about football or fashion.”
Back in Vicalvaro, the moment of truth has arrived, but the crowd - now shouting at the police, insisting they have to stop forcing families to leave their properties - appears to have had an impact. Lawyers from the PAH explain that Rocio will be able to stay - for a while, at least. For those working to stop Spain’s eviction epidemic, today has seen a small and temporary victory. For those demonstrating about cuts, corruption and lack of cash, the protests will go on.
