They also say the chemical fallout is within national acceptable standards. (Yea, right)

Always a good sign when they stipulate national acceptable standards as opposed to international acceptable standards.

Just saw this bit tonight: Mexican drug cartels now make money exporting ore
http://news.yahoo.com/mexican-drug-cartels-now-money-exporting-ore-050325576.html

Seems that the biggest importer of the illegally-mined iron ore from Mexico is China.

Quote
Government figures show the amount of iron ore being exported to China quadrupled between 2008 and the first half of 2013, rising to 4.6 million tons per year, precisely during the period the La Familia cartel and later the Knights Templar cemented their control over Michoacan.

And there's speculation that Chinese mining companies are trading chemicals for the ore--the kinds of chemicals that cartels can use to make a certain Breaking Bad-type drug.

There was also news of a huge meth bust in China and that most of it comes from DPRK. Wonder if DPRK is just trafficking for the cartels now.

Chinese Teacher Sits on a Pile of Kindergarten Children

This photograph appeared in the parent/guardians’ QQ contact group for the No.1 kindergarten attached to Changsha Normal University: a female teacher on the very top of three rows of children with mats separating them, striking a dance pose and doing the splits with a smile on her face.

A parent exposed this matter through the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald’s official Weixin account, saying “Teacher, you are really happy, but have you seen from their expressions how they are bearing it? How can we parents endure this? Our hearts all sank [on seeing the picture]!” The kindergarten explained that this was merely a training/exercise activity.

What a bunch of fricken pansies. Admittedly, the kids on the bottom row are small, but the relative weight on top of them is not unbearable. You see all those kids laughing, smiling and posing? That's not the sign of suffocating children. She's lucky she's not a foreign teacher, they'd give her the death penalty

Safety first! Student foremost! Teacher above all!

This is why I can't have children. No, not because my testicles were crushed in a preschool matting accident. But because activities teaching resilience and team spirit that require mostly the ability to lie flat and not cry don't seem reasonable. Can't they just throw them in swimming pools and see if they float?

I can't get linked to the pic, so I'm assuming the teacher concerned was Stil.
