  • zReportage.com Story of the Week # 634 - Bloodline - Launched June 19, 2017 - Full multimedia experience: audio, stills, text and or video: Go to zReportage.com to see more - This essay offers a rare look inside the daily lives of members of one of the biggest gangs in the United States.'The Bloodline' are a chapter designated by the Brooklynn Latin Kings gang to the State of New York, one of the most organized gangs in America with more than 35,000 active members. The Kings are the oldest and largest Hispanic street gang in the United States, its roots date to 1954 Humboldt Park in Chicago. We see the extreme life conditions for the majority of gang members and also the relationship between gang members and society. It explores the intimacy and naivety of teenagers who have been pushed by their economic status, racial or social issues to survive in a hostile environment in one of the most developed cities in the world. It also draws attention to the happiness, unity and respect they show each other and the importance of the family and religion in their lives. The Trump administration recently vowed to crack down on violent gang members and criminals from American Communities. Recent nationwide gang apprehension programs such as Project Dawn, focusing on dismantling transnational gangs have seen hundreds arrested in New York alone.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A Great Dane who didn’t like cats has stopped a kitten going blind by donating blood used in sight-saving eye drops. Huge dog Harlie, who weighs around nine stone, put her best paw forward to give blood used to treat Zephyr the rescued kitten. Vets treated eight-week-old Zephyr with serum drops which used elements of Harlie’s blood after it has been separated using a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood is made into drops which help the surface of the eye to heal and stop the tissue breaking down. Rescuers feared the worst for Zephyr but her sight has now been saved thanks to her huge donor friend Harlie. Steph Taylor, from charity Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, said Zephyr was found with three siblings under a shed in Liverpool, England. She said: “They were all full of flu which had led to secondary pneumonia, horrific conjunctivitis with ulcerated eyes, ticks, severe flea infestation leading to anaemia and dehydration. “The serum from Harlie was fairly unusual for us to use and we have never done it before, there are several types of conventional medicated drops and we used these first but as Zephyr was not responding to these, our vet suggested it. “We had heard of it once before when another rescue spoke about it and they had amazing results. “We have four dogs at our HQ but sadly none were suitable blood donors due to their size, age or health problems so we had to turn to the public for help… and along came Harlie.” Harlie’s owner Jess said she wanted to help but at first she feared Harlie wasn’t used to cats and it might not be a good idea for her to meet Zephyr in person. Jess, 30, a foster carer from Liverpool, England, said meeting Zephyr was the first time her huge hound had met a feline in person. Jess, who has three other dogs, a Staffordshire bull terrier, and two shih tzu Yorkshire terriers, said she wanted to help after seeing an appeal for blood donors to produce the serum used for the eye drops.

  • June 18, 2017 - Boxmeer, Netherland - People take part a the ''Boxmeerse Vaart'' - an ancient Holy Blood procession that originated in the year 1400 in Boxmeer, Netherlands, on 18 June 2017.. Thousands of people attended the Procession, which has been held every year on second Sunday after Whitsun. The tradition recovers that a priest doubted to the conversion of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ. Blood sparkled over the cup and a drop of blood remained on the corporale (white linen) behind after the priest its error recognized. This white linen has been kept in the old silver reliquary remained and put away and becomes shown in the Boxmeer-Procession. (Credit Image: © Romy Arroyo Fernandez/NurPhoto via ZUMA Press)

  • EXCLUSIVE: A Great Dane who didn’t like cats has stopped a kitten going blind by donating blood used in sight-saving eye drops. Huge dog Harlie, who weighs around nine stone, put her best paw forward to give blood used to treat Zephyr the rescued kitten. Vets treated eight-week-old Zephyr with serum drops which used elements of Harlie’s blood after it has been separated using a centrifuge. The liquid part of the blood is made into drops which help the surface of the eye to heal and stop the tissue breaking down. Rescuers feared the worst for Zephyr but her sight has now been saved thanks to her huge donor friend Harlie. Steph Taylor, from charity Rescue Me Animal Sanctuary, said Zephyr was found with three siblings under a shed in Liverpool, England. She said: “They were all full of flu which had led to secondary pneumonia, horrific conjunctivitis with ulcerated eyes, ticks, severe flea infestation leading to anaemia and dehydration. “The serum from Harlie was fairly unusual for us to use and we have never done it before, there are several types of conventional medicated drops and we used these first but as Zephyr was not responding to these, our vet suggested it. “We had heard of it once before when another rescue spoke about it and they had amazing results. “We have four dogs at our HQ but sadly none were suitable blood donors due to their size, age or health problems so we had to turn to the public for help… and along came Harlie.” Harlie’s owner Jess said she wanted to help but at first she feared Harlie wasn’t used to cats and it might not be a good idea for her to meet Zephyr in person. Jess, 30, a foster carer from Liverpool, England, said meeting Zephyr was the first time her huge hound had met a feline in person.

  • By Dinesh Dubey in India A newborn baby weighing just 400 grams has survived after her premature birth and gained normalcy after completing a six-month-long clinical course, with her parents and doctors having struggled hard to keep her alive and healthy. The girl was discharged from the hospital in Udaipur on Thursday. Neonatologist Sunil Janged, who led a team of doctors and nursing staff for ensuring the girl's incredible survival, claimed that she was the smallest newborn baby to survive in India and South Asia. The last reported such survival was a baby, Rajni, weighing 450 grams, at Mohali in 2012. The girl, named Manushi by the nursing staff of Vivanta Children's Hospital, was born to a couple married for 35 years. When her mother’s blood pressure became uncontrollable halfway through her pregnancy and the ultrasonography revealed absence of blood flow to the foetus, a caesarean section was conducted on her on June 15, 2017. Baby Seeta is the smallest baby ever to survive not in India but also in South Asia. Doctors calls her "our miracle baby", saying: "She’s just fought and fought and fought against all the odds. But she’s made it."

  • March 8, 2016 - Washington, DC, U.S - Chimpanzee named Bullet awaits food. He broke his arm when a bullet pierced it after killing his mother and was given for research by a Spanish pilot who said to ''kill it if the arm couldn't be repaired'' according to his records at New York Blood Center.  He survived but lost his arm and freedom, spending most of his life in a cage.  HSUS and NYBC came to an agreement recently after years of discussion about the care of research chimps NYBC abandoned in Liberia.  In March 2016, a team from Humane Society of the United States visits Liberia in West Africa to view situation with research chimpanzees abandoned by New York Blood Center, which stopped all funding for food and water and also refused to pay for their caregivers who used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. They now live on six islands serving as a sanctuary run by Jenny and Jim Desmond.  The HSUS has stepped in to assist and improve the dire situation in which the chimpanzees were literally left to die if not for the heroic efforts of their original caregivers who had worked for New York Blood Center and were abandoned as well.

  • June 24, 2017 - London, UK - for a rally at Downing St against the Tories and their talks with the DUP to provide support for the minority government. Many protesters were in red for the blood of lives lost without access to reproductive rights, of those who lost their lives at Grenfell tower because they were considered too poor or black to need safe housing, of disabled who have died because of cuts and unfair assessments, of innocent civilians bombed overseas and by terrorists here, for the blood shed in Northern Ireland before the peace process and for  the decision to gamble the rights, health and safety of LGBT+ people. As the rally ended they were joined by the UAF who had been opposing the small march by the EDF. Peter Marshall Images Live (Credit Image: © Peter Marshall/ImagesLive via ZUMA Wire)

  • May 30, 2017: FILE PHOTO: The Humane Society of the United States and the New York Blood Center, Inc. announced an agreement today that should secure the long-term well-being of more than 60 chimpanzees in Liberia. The agreement, NYBC is providing $6 million in funding to The HSUS, which has agreed to assume permanent responsibility for providing lifetime care for the chimpanzees. Pictured: March 5, 2016 - Charlesville, Liberia - Old files of research chimpanzees are at the home of JENNY and JAMES DESMOND on March 5, 2016 who now manage their care at Liberian Chimpanzee Rescue, a program of HSUS, after decades of biomedical experimentation.  The Humane Society of the United States and New York Blood Center came to an agreement recently in May 2017 after years of discussion about the care of research chimps NYBC had abandoned in Liberia, West Africa when they withdrew all funding for food and water.  In March 2016, a team from HSUS visits to view the situation.  NYBC also refused to pay for their caregivers who used their own meager finances to continue feeding them. They now live on six islands serving as a sanctuary.  The HSUS stepped in to assist and improve the dire situation in which the chimpanzees were literally left to die if not for the heroic efforts of their original caregivers who had worked for NYBC and were abandoned as well.
