"¿Tienes un deseo de muerte? dije que no. Yo llegué primero." le dice a la figura que se aproxima, discusión previa con otro vástago lo deja con poca paciencia. Sus manos escarban entre una pila de objetos.

"...Muévete, ese es mío." Regaña, a la figura que se ha interpuesto entre él y su potencial presa.

"Espera, espera... aquí esta. ¡el mejor ramo de flores de todo el valle!" ofrece con una gran sonrisa, poniendo el arreglo frente al contrarie, pero el movimiento brusco hace que se desarme por completo. Unos segundos pasan donde solo puede parpadear mientras observa el desastre, le parece ver hasta hojas y pétalos de colores en sus zapatos y en la ropa ajena. "Uh...."

“Bueno, el arte siempre fue mi mejor materia ...¿O era la hora de colación?” Sostiene un pincel y un tarro de pintura, había algunos bustos de esculturas donde podías pintar de la manera que quisieras sobre ellas. Observa la mezcla de colores sobre el yeso, antes de girar su rostro. “¿Crees que nos vemos similares? fui la inspiración para alguna de estas esculturas. ¿Se nota?” pone su mejor sonrisa, posando para su contraparte.

La patineta se desliza veloz por el cemento, eso hasta que encuentra un inesperado obstáculo en su ruta: un agujero que es más grande de lo previsto. El skate se ladea y termina ella trastabillando, hasta que siente que va a caer sobre alguien. “¡Cuidado!” ofrece como alerta tardía, no sabe si podrá esquivarle, así que cierra sus ojos y acepta su fe de darse contra el suelo... o algo peor.

Ha golpeado en la cabeza a un humano que carga una biblia, de todas las cosas, pero no duda que deben haber más cerca. "No hagas ruido." es lo que susurra al divisar a otro vástago en su camino, antes de aferrar la muñeca del contrarie, y caminar por la orilla de un edificio en llamas. El humo es sofocante, por lo que a duras penas encuentra un camino hacia la oscuridad del bosque rondante. "¿Estás heride? ...no puedo creer que tengamos que hacernos cargo de los desastres ajenos..." masculla, muchas manos del clan se habían unido para controlar el fuego, ¿Y encima cazadores? lo único que faltaba. "Pregunto porque puedo ayudarte con eso." señala, sin dar muchas más pistas de que se refería a los dones de la senda de la sangre.

Walk This Way Prior to 1969. And Litigation Resulting From The Long-Term Use of Talcum Powder. by pepandtim Via Flickr: The Postcard A postcard bearing no publisher's name that was printed in Great Britain. The card was posted in Bridgwater, Somerset on Thursday the 12th. June 1969 to: Mr. & Mrs. Calder, 26, St. Nicholas Road, Plumstead, London S.E.18. The message on the back of the card was as follows: "Dear Charles & All, Having a real (knees) Bender. Lovely weather". Talcum Powder Talc is a clay mineral, composed of hydrated magnesium silicate. Suspicions have been raised that talc use contributes to certain types of disease, mainly cancers of the ovaries and lungs. One particular issue is talc's frequent co-location in underground deposits with white asbestos ore. This can result in contamination of mined talc with white asbestos, which poses serious health risks when dispersed into the air and inhaled. Stringent quality control since 1976 has largely eliminated this issue, but it remains a potential hazard requiring mitigation in the mining and processing of talc. A 2010 US FDA survey failed to find asbestos in a variety of talc-containing products. A 2018 Reuters investigation asserted that pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson knew for decades that there was asbestos in its baby powder, and in 2020 the company stopped selling its baby powder in the US and Canada. Litigation Relating to Talcum Powder In 2006 the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified talcum powder as a possible human carcinogen if used in the female genital area. Yet no federal agency in the US acted to remove talcum powder from the market or add warnings. In February 2016, as the result of a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson (J&J), a St. Louis jury awarded $72 million to the family of an Alabama woman who died from ovarian cancer. The family claimed that the use of talcum powder was responsible for her cancer. In May 2016, a South Dakota woman was awarded $55 million as the result of another lawsuit against J&J. The woman had used Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder for more than 35 years before being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2011. In October 2016, a St. Louis jury awarded $70 million to a Californian woman with ovarian cancer who had used Johnson's Baby Powder for 45 years. In August 2017, a Los Angeles jury awarded $417 million to a Californian woman, Eva Echeverria, who developed ovarian cancer. Her lawsuit against J&J stated that she had contracted cancer: "As a proximate result of the unreasonably dangerous and defective nature of talcum powder". However on the 20th. October 2017, Los Angeles Superior Court judge Maren Nelson dismissed the verdict. The judge stated that Echeverria proved that: "There is an ongoing debate in the scientific and medical community about whether talc more probably than not causes ovarian cancer and thus gives rise to a duty to warn". However Judge Nelson concluded that this was not enough to sustain the jury's imposition of liability against Johnson & Johnson, and concluded that Echeverria did not adequately establish that talc causes ovarian cancer. In July 2018, a court in St. Louis awarded a $4.7bn claim ($4.14bn in punitive damages and $550m in compensatory damages) against J&J to 22 claimant women, concluding that the company had suppressed evidence of asbestos in its products for more than four decades. At least 1,200 other talcum powder-related lawsuits are currently (2020) pending. 'True Grit' So what else happened on the day that the card was posted? Well, on the 12th. June 1969, the film 'True Grit' premiered in Little Rock, Arkansas, and opened at the Chinese theatre in Los Angeles on the 13th. June 1969, where it grossed $38,000 in its first week. 'True Grit' is an American Western film starring John Wayne as U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, Glen Campbell as La Boeuf and Kim Darby as Mattie Ross. The cast also features Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Corey and Strother Martin. 'True Grit' is 128 minutes long. It is the first film adaptation of Charles Portis' 1968 novel of the same name. Wayne won his only Oscar for his performance in the film and reprised his role for the 1975 sequel Rooster Cogburn. Upon accepting his Oscar, Wayne said: "Wow! If I'd known that, I'd have put that eye-patch on 35 years earlier!" The title song, sung by Campbell, was also Oscar-nominated. It is believed that Cogburn was based on Deputy U.S. Marshal Heck Thomas, who brought in some of the toughest outlaws. 'True Grit' was adapted again in 2010, starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Hailee Steinfeld, and Josh Brolin. The Beatles Also on that day, the Number One chart hit in the UK was 'The Ballad of John & Yoko' by The Beatles.
