The Sergeant’s Daughter: Chapter One Jay Halstead

S5 EP5: Home

Hank and Al got out of his Dodge, closing the door shut and removing his sunglasses that were tinted.

"Got a search warrant for the residence of Marshall Carter," Antonio said, handing Hank a picture of the suspect, "He's the head of the Night Lords. He's got priors for possession and aggravated battery. They deal out of a house in Hegewisch."

"The boonies," Hailey said.

"Yeah"

"My CI confirmed the monthly shipments here ready for distribution. Now, here's the thing. There's an estimated street value of at least two mil worth of meth and cocaine in the dining room" Antonio said.

"How many men?" Hank asked.

"Uh, at least six," Antonio said looking at his notepad, "The address is 238 Five Oaks Road."

"Let's hit it"

—

Kim walked up the steps holding a brown paper bag, "Platt said someone ordered from Royal Siam?"

Adam raised his hand, "Right here"

"Smells delicious"

"Okay, the house with the storm shelter's registered to an LLC in Grand Cayman." Hailey said looking at her screen before getting up from her seat," They have about 200 units here in Chicago. This one was red-tagged for foundation problems. It should be empty"

"So our suspect was squatting," Hank said, sitting on the corner of Al's desk.

"Sounds like it" Al pipped in.

"So we got no name, no number, no nothing"

Hailey shook her head at Hank's question.

"Huh. Unbelievable, it's chocolate" Adam said causing all of us to look at him confused as he inspected the food he had ordered, "It; 's chocolate. Quan said the house he lived in smelled like this," he said answering the question he said throwing it to Kim who opened it and started to eat it, "So, must be around one of the chocolate factories."

"Right," Hank mumbled.

I sat at my desk looking for some information when my phone went off. It was a message from Will, my lock screen was a picture of me and Erin. It's been almost six months since she left for New York to become an FBI agent. I was proud of her but also angry and sad about it.

—

"So, what Kate Smith did has a name" I said showing Kim and Hank a website with all the information about what she did, "It's called 're-homing'"

"It's called Unforgivable," Kim said, crossing her arms against her chest.

"Uh, yeah, but it's legal in the state of Illinois. Parents can transfer the care of foreign adoptees to someone else with a power of attorney. It started a few years back in chat rooms"

"What about the website Kate Smith used," Hank said.

"It's a sham. It's been around for six months. The IP address is routed through the dark net. And the origin is listed as Iceland" I said.

Kevin walked in holding a file in his hand, 'This Marsden couple does not exist. There's not a record of a John or Penny Marsden in the Chicago land area"

'Shocker. A child trafficker is using fake names"

"So we need to make contact. Find this Marsden couple and the mystery man they gave Quan to" Hank said.

"Yo Sarge, let me and Kim have a shot at him. We could pose as a couple wanting to give a kid away. Send a message out there to the website. I bet we can draw them in"

Hanked nodded his head at Kevin's question, "All right, good. Heym I don't want these re-homing punks thinking we're on to them, you understand?"

—

Got a male driver and a female passenger in a light-colored SUV. Illinois tags, 33 John Paul 60

Antonio's voice came over the radio, "Copy that" I said into my radio as Hailey typed in the tags into the iPad and it beeped, "Vehicle is registered to John Kingsley. The address listed is the Tower Lake Apartments, but those were torn down two years ago" I said.

—

I walked out of the trailer house with Mr.Smith and Hailey behind me and handed him off to the patrol officer, "What's worse, people taking the kids, or the ones giving them away in the first place?" Kim said as we walked together to Kevin's car

"People taking them, no doubt," I said, stopping in front of him.

"I just got a text from Jordan. I should go" he said.

"What is it?"

They walked away and got into his car, I and Hailey walked to my truck, got in, and started the drive to the station.

—

I leaned against the wall of the Interrogation room with John Kingsley and Hank sat in front of him. Hailey and Antonio were with the wife in the other interrogation room.

"We met Clyde Harris a couple of months ago at a Right to Life rally downtown. We just got to talking and he said, Do you wanna save kids and maybe make a little extra cash? And we said, yes"

"Save kids, or make extra cash?" I asked him with a disgusted face.

"Save kids, of course," he said, turning to look at him.

"Mm-hmm" Hank said, leaning forward and staring at him quietly.

"Okay, all right. I won't lie. The extra money helps. I'm on disability and my wife's a realtor. And, you know, business isn't great"

"How much was he giving you?" he asked.

"$500 a kid" he whispered.

"$500 a kid?" Hank said turning to look at me and back at the suspect, "That's a hell of a payday for a few hours of work"

"We didn't have any reason to doubt him at all. Like ever"

"All right, explain to me how this works. When Harris needs your help, how does he contact you?" I asked.

"He calls my wife's phone but it's always from a different number. He tells us who we're supposed to meet, when, and where" he said, "People gave us their kids. No questions asked. I mean, most of the time, anyway"

"And then what? Where do you take the kids?" I shouted and walked towards Hank sitting next to him.

"Um, we-we meet agent Harris out at a truck stop near I-94"

—

"All right, so there's the Marsdens," I said pointing at the footage from the gas station as they gave Quna to Clyde who was next to a mini camper van, "right there with Quan. That's gotta be Clyde Harris"

"Can you get any closer?" Hailey asked.

I shook my head, "Not without sacrificing detail. You can't see his face anyway with the ball cap on"

"There's no license plate on that RV," she said leaning in to get closer to the screen, "Looks like Clyde's trying to give Quan food"

"Yeah, from Burger King, " I said.

"Okay, I'm gonna pull the video from nearby locations, see if we can get a better look at this guy," she said.

"Yeah," I mumbled.

—

"Hey guys, got a clear image of our agent Clyde Harris," Hailey said as we walked into the office, "From a Burger King near the truck stop," she said handing out pictures.

"Facial recognition matches Clyde Dupree. He's got a prior for ivory smuggling" I said.

"Ivory smuggling? Is that a joke?" Al said looking at the picture.

"No, uh, he paid a $10,000 fine" I chuckled, "He did two months probation"

"His new business model's pretty much the same. He just changed the cargo" Antonio said.

—

Slamming the door to my truck and grabbing my gun we walked towards the house that had a black fence wrapped around the front, Hailey went to open the gate but had a lock, "Give us a sec to get around" she said.

"Yeah," I said walking towards the second gate that led to the front door, I walked in with Antonio and Kim following me, I grabbed Antonio's shoulder as Kim hit the door with the palm of her hand, "Chicago PD"

"Hit it," I said looking at Antonio.

He used the ram to hit the door, sending it flying. Kim rushed in, "I got a runner! He went out the back" Kim said into her radio and she followed him out.

Me and Antonio checked the empty apartment of Clyde Dupree, "Looks like he left" Antonio said as held a black garbage bag, "He left this behind"

"Yeah," I said, "Let's go out back"

"He left that behind and I thought I could find something to sell," the unknown suspect said pointing at the bag I was holding in my hands and looking through it.

I grabbed a crumpled-up paper and opened it up, "Looks like papers for something called Sanctuary Row" I said reading off it and handing it to Kim.

"Uh, he's cautious. Read the papers. Thinks three of his kids are dead" Antonio said walking into the office downstairs in the basement with Hank and Hailey, "Knows the police are all over it"

"Guys, I found something. Sanctuary Row" I said scrolling through the website, "This dark net stuff is pretty rough. I feel like I need a shower"

"Exotic animals. Royal Stripe Ball Python. Female, ten years old. Pale coloring, well-behaved. Very rare" Hailey said reading a post from the website.

"He's talking about the kids," Antonio said.

"Yeah, he's got four animals listed. He's selling four kids" I said.

"Click on this old link," Hailey said tapping on the screen with her finger, "How many kids has he auctioned off?"

I clicked on the link and scrolled down and counted, "18"

"This guy's sick" Hailey said, "He sets up a re-homing site so he can find his product, and then he auctions them off on the darknet"

"Says here the auction closes in 19 minutes," Antonio said, "Winners will be notified of a pick-up location at that time"

"Start bidding," Hank said and walked away.

I turned around, "How are we gonna pay for it?" I asked, "It's gonna be tough to get flash money in time"

"Just let me worry about that. You make you win"

"Copy that"

—

I was at the location where the auction would be, I got out of the truck closed the door shut and walked towards the trunk, and lay against it looking at my phone.

Red pick-up truck coming in, Kim said into my earpiece, white male driver. Illinois tags 57 Adam Victor 2 Union

Copy, I see him

This should be the last one. All the auction winners are here now

Alright plates are registered to Maryann Richter, 788 Pine Place

I brought the phone up to my ear to hear the conversation.

"I'm getting a, uh, hit on the pick-up's address. Daniel Richter 35, registered sex offender. Lives with his mother, Maryann. Check your phones, everybody I'm gonna send over a photo of this guy. I'm gonna need a positive" Adam said.

My phone chimed and that guy was standing next to me, I put the phone up to my ear again, "Hey, honey. Yeah, I'm positive I'll be late tonight"

That's a positive

"Okay' Love you, too," I said and ended the phone call and put my phone away.

The same RV that was on the footage pulled up and parked in the middle. The driver got out and he walked around. Clyde opened the door making a little with blonde hair and wearing a white and purple jacket.

We need him away from that trailer. Chance are the other three kids are in there, too

Clyde walked towards a male two cars away from me and gave him the car.

Move-in

Everyone pulled in with their lights and sirens. Daniel started to run away and I ran after him.

"Hey, Police! Don't move" I said pointing my gun at him, he kept running till Antonio popped up with the long gun from the tall grass.

"Do not move"

I cuffed him up handed him to the officers and ran towards the camper, I opened the door and saw the other three kids huddling up together on the bed.

"Hey, come on out. It's okay" I said, they all got off the bed got in a line, and walked out of the camper where Hailey was standing outside, "It's okay," I said.

"Don't be scared"

"You guys are all safe now. All right"

—

Closing the door shut to my apartment I heard the TV on the sound of cheering coming from it, I threw my keys onto the kitchen island and walked towards the living room and saw Will sitting on the couch watching an old hockey game on the TV drinking a beer.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"You didn't get my message?" he said raising a brow.

I thought back to when he texted me but I didn't read it since I was looking at a picture of me and Erin, "Oh, it must have slipped my mind" I said nodding my head.

"Right, I'm going to be here for like two weeks max unless you kick me out," he said.

"Yeah, you can stay here for two weeks just don't bring any girls to my apartment. I'm going to head to bed. I had a late shift" I said standing up from the couch, "Night"

"Night"

Another trans identified male sex offender is could be moved to a Women’s prison

A convicted sex offender in Connecticut is now requesting transfer to the state’s only correctional facility for women after abruptly declaring an “intersex” identity. Brandy Wood, 28, has a lengthy history of sexual crimes against minors.

In 2015, Wood was convicted on two counts of risk of injury to a minor and second-degree sexual assault of a minor for “forcible sexual contact with a 15-year-old female.” He was released from custody and was on parole when he committed yet another offense against a minor.

On January 4, Wood pleaded no contest at the New London Superior Court to the charge of risk of injury to a minor.

Assistant State’s Attorney Theresa Anne Ferryman told the court on Wednesday that Wood, in the new criminal case, engaged in an inappropriate online relationship with a 13-year-old girl in Park City, Utah during the summer of 2021, as reported by local news outlet The Day.

Wood targeted the young girl through FaceTime, SnapChat, and a notorious video-chatting website frequently used by sexual predators called Omegle. According to police youth investigator Joseph Buzzelli, Wood sent pornographic videos and photos of himself to the victim and encouraged her to reciprocate by sending nude photos of herself.

Police said Wood masturbated in front of the girl and bought her presents, including a “full-body fur suit,” which were delivered directly to her home in Park City. The arrival of the fur suit was the incident that first alerted the victim’s parents to the situation, according to the arrest affidavit.

During a police interview, the girl told authorities that Wood had “both a penis and a vagina.” However, law enforcement officials discovered photos of Wood wearing a latex full-body suit designed to resemble a woman, which could account for the child’s confusion regarding Wood’s anatomy.

The victim told police Wood had threatened her during his attempt to obtain nude photos and videos.

Wood claimed to be a private investigator, knew the victim’s address and said he would “get on a plane and come find her,” as stated in the arrest warrant affidavit. In one exchange, Wood told the victim “if you don’t send me nudes I’m going to come to your house and have sex with you.”

Reduxx found that Wood also claimed to be a private investigator on his LinkedIn account, and has registered a business ostensibly dedicated to service dog training called Connecticut K9 Support Services, LLC.

The residence address on file for the business is that of a sex offender treatment program in Uncasville, but Wood had posted several job advertisements seeking a volunteer.

“Connecticut K9 Support Services LLC in New London, CT is offering one volunteer position to join our team,” Wood wrote in a now-deleted listing on Tarta. “Our ideal candidate is a self-starter, motivated, and reliable. this position is an opportunity to grow your knowledge in the K9 training and care field as well as the Private Investigative field. after 6 months of volunteering you will be given the option for a part-time or full-time paid position. We are seeking motivated, dog loving, honest, loyal, reliable.”

Attorney Michael Miller, the public defender representing Wood, told the court on Wednesday he intends to request that Wood be housed at York Correctional Institution in Niantic, the state’s only women’s prison.

Currently, Wood is being held in the Cheshire Correctional Institution for men.

The state’s sexual offender registry lists Wood’s biological sex as “female,” and provides numerous aliases for him such as as Kyle Bailey, Steven Bennett, and Kunani-Brandy Moana Kalakaua-Wood.

Wood is expected to be handed a sentence of 10 years, suspended after 30 months in prison, followed by five years of probation and an undetermined period of time on the state’s sexual offender registry if convicted.

Attorney for the state Anne Ferryman told the court that the victim’s family is not satisfied with the expected prison sentence. The victim’s parents have told police that the girl was left “feeling suicidal” after the ordeal and is currently receiving psychiatric treatment.

Wood’s lawyer asserted in court that he would pursue his client’s transfer to the women’s prison on March 14, but Judge Hillary Strackbein responded by informing Miller that prison accommodations are ultimately decided by the state Department of Corrections (DOC).

In July of 2018, Connecticut became the first U.S. state to allow male inmates to be housed in female correctional institutions on the basis of a self-declared gender identity.

The measure was attached to a bill intended to protect incarcerated pregnant women. Connecticut’s SB 13, “An Act Concerning Fair Treatment of Incarcerated Women,” expanded medical care requirements for pregnant inmates, but additionally stipulated that the DOC must “adhere to certain requirements that relate to the treatment and placement of inmates with a gender identity that differs from the inmate’s assigned sex at birth.”

Under the bill, any inmate who “who has a gender identity that differs from the inmate’s assigned sex at birth and has a diagnosis of gender dysphoria” must be addressed by their preferred pronouns, provided with clothing according to their “gender identity,” and be searched by correctional staff of “the same gender identity.”

By Genevieve Gluck Genevieve is the Co-Founder of Reduxx, and the outlet's Chief Investigative Journalist with a focused interest in pornography, sexual predators, and fetish subcultures. She is the creator of the podcast Women's Voices, which features news commentary and interviews regarding women's rights.

Legendary Fantasy Artist Frank Frazetta’s Epic Work “The Berserker” Available Worldwide on Epiphone.com

For 150 years, Epiphone has been a leading innovator in instrument design. By leveraging its iconic past and leaning into the future, Epiphone has now set the stage for the next era of sound for present and future generations. Epiphone is proud announce the long-awaited Adam Jones and Epiphone partnership has now arrived with the release of the Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection. This unprecedented, limited-edition collection blends Adam’s love of fine art and music, resulting in seven, iconic and unique Les Paul Custom Silverburst masterpieces which feature the artwork of five distinguished visual artists curated by Adam Jones of TOOL. The Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection is now available worldwide at authorized Epiphone dealers and on www.epiphone.com.

The second model to debut in the Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection is Frank Frazetta’s “The Berserker.” Known as the Godfather of fantasy art, acclaimed artist Frank Frazetta was an illustrator of comic books, movie posters and paperback book covers whose visions helped define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and more. This guitar displays Frank Frazetta’s masterpiece, “Berserker” on the back of the guitar, artwork on the rear headstock is designed by world-renowned artist Korin Faught. The artwork “Berserker,” also known as “Conan The Conqueror,” was painted by Frazetta in 1968, for the cover of the Conan The Conqueror paperback novel by author Robert E. Howard. The original artwork is currently owned by Kirk Hammett of Metallica and Conan® is a registered trademark of Conan Properties International LLC.

Frank Frazetta was born in Brooklyn on February 9, 1928, and as a boy studied art at the Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts. He began drawing for comic books of all stripes--westerns, mysteries, fantasies--when he was still a teenager. He was also a good enough baseball player to try out for the New York Giants. Frazetta was a versatile and prolific comic book artist who, in the 1940s and ’50s, drew for comic strips like Al Capp’s “Lil’ Abner” and comic books like “Famous Funnies,” for which he contributed a series of covers depicting the futuristic adventurer, Buck Rogers. Explore the artwork of Frank Frazetta, HERE.

"My exposure to Frank Frazetta began early in my life. There’s something about his artwork that has spoken to me for as long as I can remember,” says Adam Jones. “When I was very young, I would save money to buy his adult comic art and pulp novel covers without my parents’ knowledge, sneaking them into the house undetected. To this day, as I work on my own projects, I’m transported back to those moments of discovery and influence. Frank’s technical prowess is unmatched in his genre (I’m such a proud nerd…) and he continues to be one of my heroes.

When Cesar at Gibson and I discussed a line of fine art-enhanced guitars, I hoped we would get permission to use one of Frank’s images, and I am so grateful to his estate for allowing us to use ‘Berserker’ on this Epiphone Les Paul."

“I was 13 years old when I first heard the TOOL song ‘Schism,’ it immediately resonated with me on a spiritual level and I’ve been a fan ever since,” adds Sara Frazetta, Granddaughter of Frank Frazetta. “To collaborate with Adam Jones and my Grandfather’s artwork on this gorgeous new Epiphone Art Collection of guitars has been amazing and seeing the guitars, it’s clear Frazetta’s art was destined for guitars.”

Watch the video for the Epiphone Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection, HERE, and explore the collection HERE.

The Adam Jones Les Paul Custom Art Collection: Frank Frazetta’s “The Berserker” isn’t just an art piece to hang on the wall; it’s an exceptional instrument for players to craft their own masterpiece.

Judge Scolds Atty For 'Hostile' Court Messages, Limits Access

A New York federal magistrate judge admonished a solo practitioner for sending multiple emails and leaving a voicemail with the court that were "disrespectful, hostile, and largely unrelated to the substance of" a case by a group of health workers accusing a staffing company of profiteering from the COVID-19 pandemic and putting them at needless risk.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang did not identify the plaintiffs' lawyer in her order on Monday.

But the attorney is Gregory Antollino, who fired back in a filing Tuesday morning, arguing that Judge Wang's order limiting his contact with the court "attacks me publicly" and did not "allow me to respond in kind."

Antollino, who's representing a group of nurses or nurse practitioners who brought the underlying case in April 2020 against Krucial Staffing LLC and its CEO, also asked the judge for permission to file a two-page letter in which the attorney plans to ask for Judge Wang's recusal.

He said the jurist's characterization of his communications to the court was done "in an ad hominem manner" that "not only violated your rules but showed an appearance of impropriety."

a case by a group of health workers accusing a staffing compan

Allen et al v. Krucial Staffing, LLC et al

Case Number: 1:20-cv-02859

Crises nurses for-temporary-hire join battle on coronavirus front lines Published July 23, 2020 EDINBURG, Texas — Visiting nurse Gabriel Leyva, 34, second from left, of Downey helps treat a COVID-19 patient in Edinburg, Texas, where hospitalizations and deaths have spiked this month. (Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times)

Crisis nurse Catrina Rugar was in full protective gear, checking a ventilated patient at a new COVID-19 unit in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, when a doctor stopped to ask how old the man was: 40.

“They keep getting younger,” Rugar said.

Doctor and nurse bemoaned how people in Florida and Texas were ignoring pandemic restrictions.

“No one’s seeing us drown in patients,” Rugar said.

Rugar is part of an army of thousands of nurses and other medical staff, including some from Southern California, who were deployed first to New York City at the start of the pandemic, then to south Texas this month to battle the virus.

Contracted by staffing agencies that set up temporary offices in Rio Grande Valley hotels, registered nurses are paid $95 an hour ($142 an hour for overtime) plus travel expenses to work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week for months at a time (nurse practitioner jobs pay more).

“You thought NYC was the biggest activation in American history with 4,500 medical professionals? So did we,” the Krucial Staffing agency said in a job posting on Facebook last week seeking nurses and other medical staff. “Our operations have moved to the great state of Texas. We are on track to eclipse that number.”

A lawsuit filed by seven former Krucial nurses in New York this spring alleges they were forced to work without sufficient protective equipment and to perform work beyond their scope of training, putting them and their patients in danger.

When they complained, they said they were fired.

“Based on information from many former Krucial nurses — not just my clients — Krucial’s practices risk people’s lives by sending in unqualified nurses who are attracted to the high pay,” said Gregory Antollino, a New York-based attorney representing the nurses in their lawsuit.

Krucial Staffing, based in Overland Park, Kan., released a statement Friday saying it “vehemently denies the claims asserted in that lawsuit. We fully intend to defend our company from these false allegations.”

Rugar, who worked for Krucial at the 530-bed DHR Health in Edinburg, said the hospital was better prepared than those she staffed early in the pandemic in Harlem and the Bronx.

But the Texas facility was still in crisis, she said, forced to cope with shortages of equipment and personnel amid a seemingly endless stream of critically ill patients.

One of the women on a ventilator she cared for last week had already lost her husband to COVID-19.

This week charter buses and vans ferried nurses from valley hospitals to hotels, where staff placed “Healthcare heroes” signs on their doors, thank-you banners in lobbies and ear plugs at the front desks for those on the night shift. At morning and evening shift change, nurses in scrubs and pink respirator masks arrived in groups. Some asked hotel staff for trash bags to carry their soiled scrubs; others for deliveries. Some had ordered protective equipment such as gas masks in advance, unsure what conditions they would face in COVID units.

Hotel halls were lined with their clogs and sneakers, which they left outside to avoid contaminating their rooms.

“We just have to try our best,” said Rugar, 34, who has worked as an emergency room nurse for a decade. “We’re making progress.”

Rugar, who lives in Crystal River, Fla., said she was skeptical about the pandemic when she arrived in New York, but quickly realized the severity of the risk and was “a changed person” when she left 39 days later.

She gets frustrated when she sees people refusing to wear face coverings and practice social distancing or calling the pandemic a hoax.

Her husband and brother are nursing assistants temporarily assigned to a different south Texas hospital.

But Rugar said even her Cuban American family back in Florida had their doubts.

“There’s people saying, ‘Oh, the media’s lying. The numbers are fake.’ There’s a lack of trust,” she said, until people get infected. “Then they want all the help they can get.”

She planned to return to Florida this week with her husband and brother to quarantine for two weeks, then continue working at COVID units there.

Working with Rugar on the COVID-19 team in Texas was contract nurse Gabriel Leyva.

When the pandemic began, Leyva, 34, a single father raising a 7-year-old, was only a few months out of nursing school at Cerritos College, working at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in his native Downey.

“I didn’t know what I was getting into,” he said.

He said his parents worried about his safety when he left for a six-week assignment in New York.

“One of the things my dad asked me was, ‘What assets do you have set aside for your daughter if you die?’” he said.

But Leyva said he’s learned how to safely work as part of ever-evolving teams to treat the coronavirus.

“It’s nurses from all over the nation coming together to overcome this virus,” he said. “You learn to adapt quick. It’s something I’m learning with each deployment.”

One of his friends from nursing school is also deployed in Texas, Jaime Zamora, 30, of Santa Fe Springs.

Zamora had just graduated in February when the pandemic started, and he said he went straight to New York because “I wanted to find a way to help.”

In New York, he worked the day shift on a psychiatric medical unit full of COVID-19 patients at Bellevue Hospital.

Leyva worked night shift.

In the evenings at shift change, their spirits lifted when residents of an adjacent apartment building would open their windows and clap.

That doesn’t happen in Texas, and after three weeks Zamora said he often feels drained, emotionally and physically.

He’s seeing more people infecting their loved ones.

“I’m constantly arranging FaceTime calls with entire families. I’ve seen many brothers and sisters crying. It’s a family disease,” he said.

A nursing job’s waiting for Zamora at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. But he plans to stay in Texas for at least another week, maybe two.

“That’s what I became a nurse for: to help,” he said. “I’m working every single day until it’s time to go home.”

Frank E. Antollino Obituary

Frank Antollino, 80, of Branford, CT passed away peacefully while surrounded by loved ones on Friday, September 8, 2023 after a valiant battle against a long illness. Born in New Haven, he was the son of the late Ernest & Rose Antollino. He grew up in the Cove area of New Haven, attending Nathan Hale School and eventually Notre Dame High School prior to the family moving to Branford. He spent time working for his father Ernest and his many uncles at their Golden Crest Ice Cream plant during his high school and college summers. He attended Providence College and then onto Suffolk Law School in Boston. Upon graduation, Frank was initially a prosecutor in New Haven for a short time until he and his late law partner of 50 years, Charles “Chuck” Angelo, opened their private practice together. He was a well-known attorney in the greater New Haven area, well respected, and sought after by many. He worked as an attorney up until he became ill as the law was one of his joys in life, along with making and eating authentic Italian food like his mother Rose made, enjoying his wife Charlene’s expert home cooking, and taking past trips to NYC and Newport, RI with her. He was also an avid NY Giants fan, but also looked forward to watching most football games. Holiday celebrations will always be remembered and cherished as a time to spend with family and to enjoy delicious food together. He was predeceased by his parents and his two beloved sons, Christopher and Gregory “Scott” Antollino.

He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Charlene Antollino of Branford, his daughter, Robin Antollino-Bukoski of Worcester, MA, his sister, Roberta Antollino of Branford, and his three grandchildren, Ryan, Dylan, and Jillian Bukoski. He also leaves behind two stepsons Scott (Danielle) Craig of Wallingford, CT and Damon (Amy) Golia of Mathis, Texas along with his bonus granddaughters Alyssa, Briana and Caitlyn.

We would like to thank the very special nurses who took extra good care of Frank on the 7-5 Unit at Yale New Haven Hospital.

A memorial service will be held at the W. S. Clancy Memorial Funeral Home, 244 North Main Street, Branford on Thursday, September 14th with 5-7pm calling hours and at 7pm will be a Celebration of Life.

In lieu of flowers ,, it would be appreciated that memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, and other officials in the Biden Administration to stop an unlawful attempt to redefine federal law through agency guidance.

This lawsuit is Attorney General Paxton’s 75th legal action against the Biden Administration.

On April 29, the EEOC issued guidance that would redefine the meaning of “sex” in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to require employer accommodations for bathroom usage, dress code compliance, and pronoun usage in the workplace based on “gender identity” rather than biological sex.

However, doing so directly flouts a prior ruling Texas won stopping a substantially similar guidance issued by the EEOC in 2022.

According to that ruling, the agency lacked any authority to mandate a reinterpretation of the law and the court vacated the guidance in its entirety.

The court also issued a binding declaratory judgment between Texas and EEOC that Title VII did not require employer accommodations for bathroom usage, dress code compliance, and pronoun usage to be according to “gender identity” rather than biological sex — which the Biden Administration did not even appeal.

The renewed attempt by the Biden Administration to remake Title VII through agency action contradicts the previous ruling and is clearly unlawful.

Attorney General Paxton has asked the court to enforce its declaratory judgment, vacate the illegal guidance from April 29, and grant injunctive relief preventing the Biden Administration from issuing further guidance and other resources that are “contrary to law.”

“Yet again the Biden Administration is trying to circumvent the democratic process by issuing sweeping mandates from the desks of bureaucrats that would fundamentally reshape American law,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Texas will not stand by while Biden ignores court orders forbidding such actions and will we hold the federal government accountable at every turn.”

Re: Instagram photo by Gregory Antollino • Mar 25, 2022 at 8:24 PM https://www.passengersjournal.com/volume-2-issue-6-visual-art

A note from the artist:

This is an image I took of Sylvia Rivera at the corner of 12th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, Gay Pride 1993. She was a Stonewall Survivor and wore her banner with pride. Her outfit is completely together for a blinging hot day.

What’s going on in her mind?

Is it just an unflattering picture that makes Sylvia seem confused? (Please forgive the photographer; Pride is busy, even a kilometer from Christopher Street. The sun was not in my favor.)

Nevertheless, suspending disbelief and judging from her gaze, which I shot from a lower angle, I see fear; I see rage; I see a person unaccepted not only by society, but the bougie onlookers who had no idea what she had done for the Queer Struggle.

I thank Passenger’s Journal for taking this, even the scan of a photo – one I probably printed at CVS – which was not quite right: too dark and overexposed. I found the negative just a month ago, having forgotten that I had submitted this. Then I misplaced the negative, along with another important shot, the one that leads all of the photos on my hobbyist website. Then, Manolo Salas, an editor with Tony Vaccaro Studio, rescanned the negative and let in light. I didn’t know of Sylvia Rivera in 1993, and only realized I had taken this shot, after rewatching “The Death and Life of Marsh P. Johnson,” by David France. Sylvia’s struggle, in my opinion, is the thematic heart of that story. Then I just happened to be looking though albums and there she was.

It's been a tough couple of years for us all. We were already trapped by the pandemic. Because we couldn’t travel, it made me feel doubly secluded. I’m by nature an explorer always looking for something new to record. In life, I am (mostly) satisfied practicing law, but during the worst of the pandemic I needed to retravel to places I had been and, in doing so, I regained some optimism.

In Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, No. 17-1618 (S. Ct. June 15, 2020),[1] the Supreme Court held that firing individuals because of their sexual orientation or transgender status violates Title VII’s prohibition on discrimination because of sex.

The Court reached its holding by focusing on the plain text of Title VII.

As the Court explained, “discrimination based on homosexuality or transgender status necessarily entails discrimination based on sex; the first cannot happen without the second.”

For example, if an employer fires an employee because she is a woman who is married to a woman, but would not do the same to a man married to a woman, the employer is taking an action because of the employee’s sex because the action would not have taken place but for the employee being a woman.

Similarly, if an employer fires an employee because that person was identified as male at birth but uses feminine pronouns and identifies as a female, the employer is taking action against the individual because of sex since the action would not have been taken but for the fact the employee was originally identified as male.

The Court also noted that its decision did not address various religious liberty issues, such as the First Amendment, Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and exemptions Title VII provides for religious employers

Why Are So Many Corporations Based in Delaware?

The United States has a long and rich tradition of entrepreneurship. In all 50 states, enterprising individuals have built successful businesses, bestowing upon them fulfilling livelihoods and careers. No matter where you live, if you look hard enough, there are plenty of opportunities for you to create a profitable business venture of your own. If you have spent a fair amount of time in the business world, you probably have a pretty firm grasp on some of the basic principles required for a financially viable business. You understand the importance of budgeting, hiring employees, and knowing your customer. You may have also noticed that a lot of large companies, including the majority of those in the Fortune 500, have offices in the small east coast state of Delaware. So, why are so many corporations based in Delaware, and does incorporating your business in the First State make sense for you? When the average individual thinks about Delaware, they might think about the origins of America and not much else. Well, in truth, Delaware is a major hub of global commerce, and savvy business owners from around the country opt to base their organizations there. There are a couple of reasons for this. For one, Delaware has favorable corporate tax rates, and it also sits fairly close to New York, Philadelphia, and a number of other large cities. The primary draw for entrepreneurs to Delaware, though, can be attributed to the Chancery Court. As one of the oldest courts in the country, the Chancery Court hears all matters of business law, with cases decided not by juries, but by judges with a unique grasp of the nuances of business. Not surprisingly, this can create a favorable legal climate for business owners. Corporations Based in Delaware: How is it Done Online? To start your Delaware corporation, there is a process that you will want to follow. At the outset, you will need to decide on a business name that has not already been registered in the state and features one of Delaware’s required suffixes, e.g. “limited,” “corporation,” etc. You will then need to appoint a registered agent. This individual will be tasked with receiving all legal, tax, and government correspondence on behalf of your business. At that point, you will be able to draft and file your articles of incorporation, which will call for some basic details about your business and its incorporators. Corporations typically have to follow stricter rules than, say, limited liability companies (LLCs) or sole proprietorships. The trade-off for that is that a corporation can issue stock, which lets outside investors gain a stake in your business while giving you the cash injection necessary to continue growing your enterprise. Launch Your Corporation with Our Forms At Corporation Center, we have all the forms you need to get your Delaware business up and running. To learn more about our services and how we can help you, take a few minutes to explore our website or visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Benefits of curcumin on cancer conducted by reputed institutes are likely to drive its demand in the coming years. Huge demand for organic plant-based supplements can drive the global demand for organic curcumin during the forecast period.

Consumption of organic supplements is likely to drive up the sales of organic curcumin. Brand owners are likely to set up dedicated units in the region to cater to growing demand. This is fueled by the need for Ayurveda and herbal products.

North America is deemed to contribute to global market share owing to demand for supplements containing natural ingredients. Awareness of the benefits of curcumin can drive the market demand as well as its availability in retail stores and ecommerce sites can fuel regional growth. Presence of various cosmetic brands and their inclination towards the inclusion of organic curcumin can drive the market demand till the end of the forecast period. Massive demand of the chemical in foods can fuel the market growth.

On the other hand, RoW can exhibit a steady growth rate during the forecast period due to demand for organic products in Brazil and Argentina.

Starting Up a Bicycle Rental Service

Bicycle rental services are a great way to explore a city. They are also very safe and efficient. In addition, the bikes are comfortable and affordable. It's also a good choice for tourists and day trippers. There are a few things to keep in mind when starting up a bicycle rental business.

You should research your target customers to figure out which types of people are interested in your business. Then, you'll need to calculate how many bikes you will need to rent and what your costs will be. If you need a loan, you'll need to apply for an EIN (Employer Identification Number).

Another thing to remember is that you'll need to be sure to live in a city that is bike friendly. Once you've determined this, you'll need to create a marketing strategy. This includes building relationships with local businesses. A good marketing strategy will include sending flyers to locations that are popular with tourists.

Your bike rental service should have an official website. Usually, this will be the same site you'll use for booking rides. Having a website makes it easier for customers to check in for their rides.

Some bicycle rental services require you to sign a contract before you can use the bike. This agreement states that you'll return the bike in the same condition it was when you borrowed it. Typically, you'll leave a certain amount of money as a deposit. At the end of the rental period, you'll get the deposit back.

Most of the time, test drives are free. However, some bike library systems require you to pay a small fee. That's because the system uses unpaid volunteer labor to maintain the fleet. These systems are typically run by a national cycling organization, a public transport authority, or a railway operator.

Other bike sharing schemes require you to pay a subscription, either monthly or yearly. Several regional programs have implemented bike share programmes at railroad stations, or in local businesses.

Depending on the type of program you have, you may need to register with the company. In some cases, a refundable deposit is required. You'll also need to determine how much you'll need to cover repairs and maintenance. Adding auxiliary sales or selling packages can help you keep your profit high.

Bicycle rental service companies can be set up as corporations or LLCs. For example, Tembici is an electric bicycle company that provides parking solutions and tech-enabled solutions for bike sharing.

Another way to expand your bicycle rental service is to offer guided tours. These are a good way to add value to your customers' experience and also help you make additional sales. Guided tours can be a profitable activity for your business, but you'll need to decide whether they are the main attraction.

Bike rentals are a perfect way to see the landmarks of a city. In New York, for example, you can rent a bike to ride through Central Park. Here, you'll find Bethesda Fountain, Strawberry Fields, and more.

Conclusion

What is an LLC?

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure that combines the benefits of a corporation and a partnership. It offers personal liability protection to its owners (called members) while allowing for flexible management structures and pass-through taxation. This means that the profits and losses of the LLC are reported on the individual members’ tax returns, avoiding double taxation.

Who is Eligible to Get a Registered LLC?

Almost anyone can form an LLC, whether you are an individual entrepreneur, a group of partners, or an existing business entity. The primary requirements include having a unique business name, a designated registered agent, and compliance with the specific state regulations where the LLC will be registered.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get a Registered LLC

1. Choose Your State

Decide where you want to form your LLC. Each state has its own rules, fees, and benefits. Popular choices include:

LLC in Florida: Ideal for businesses with a significant presence in Florida due to its favorable tax climate.

LLC in Texas: Known for its business-friendly environment and no state income tax.

LLC in Pennsylvania: Offers a robust market with a balanced regulatory environment.

LLC in California: Provides access to one of the largest economies in the world, despite higher regulatory costs.

LLC in New York: Great for businesses seeking a prestigious address and access to vast markets.

2. Choose a Name for Your LLC

Your LLC’s name must be unique and comply with state-specific naming rules. Generally, the name must include the words “Limited Liability Company” or the abbreviation “LLC.”

3. Appoint a Registered Agent

A registered agent is a person or business entity authorized to receive legal documents on behalf of the LLC. The registered agent must have a physical address in the state where the LLC is formed.

4. File the Articles of Organization

The Articles of Organization, also known as the Certificate of Formation or Certificate of Organization, is a document filed with the state to officially form your LLC. This document includes basic information about your LLC, such as its name, address, and the names of its members.

5. Create an Operating Agreement

An Operating Agreement outlines the ownership and management structure of the LLC. While not always required by the state, it is highly recommended as it helps prevent conflicts among members and provides a clear operational plan.

6. Obtain an EIN

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is issued by the IRS and is required for tax purposes. It is also necessary for opening a business bank account and hiring employees.

7. Comply with State-Specific Requirements

Each state has additional requirements, such as publishing a notice in a local newspaper (required in New York) or filing an initial report (required in California). Make sure to research and comply with these requirements to avoid penalties.

Advantages and Disadvantages of an LLC

Advantages

Limited Liability: Members are protected from personal liability for business debts and lawsuits.

Tax Flexibility: LLCs can choose how they want to be taxed (as a sole proprietorship, partnership, S corporation, or C corporation).

Operational Flexibility: LLCs are not required to have a board of directors or hold annual meetings.

Credibility: Having an LLC can enhance your business’s credibility with customers and suppliers.

Disadvantages

Self-Employment Taxes: LLC members must pay self-employment taxes on their share of the profits.

Cost: There are formation fees and ongoing compliance costs that vary by state.

Complexity: Compared to a sole proprietorship, an LLC requires more paperwork and administrative tasks.

Wood Pellets Market Size, Share, Demand, Growth & Trends by 2032

A recently published study by FMI expects the global demand for wood pellets market to increase at a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period between 2022 and 2032, reaching a total of US$ 26.15 Billion in 2032, according to a report from Future Market Insights (FMI). From 2017 to 2021, sales witnessed significant growth, registering a CAGR of 8%.
