America's Trade Policy is the blog of the Washington International Trade Association. WASHINGTON: What are China’s intentions in the South China Sea? It’s a question intelligence analysts, diplomats and the senior leadership of the United States. Rosa kissed her six children goodnight and set out across town. In the Mexican border city of Reynosa, the hundreds of maquiladoras that produce everything from car parts to flat- screen televisions run day and night—3. Rosa worked from 1. Like the 9. 0,0. 00 or more workers in Reynosa, the 3. Rosa depended on these factories for her livelihood. In the 1. 1 years since she moved to the city, she had welded circuitry for Asian and European cell phone companies, assembled tubing for medical IV units to be shipped over the border to the United States, and worked on a production line assembling air conditioners for General Motors. This was her second month at HD Electronics, a South Korean firm that had moved to Reynosa in 2. South Korean firm, LG Electronics—a $4. LG also has a plant in Reynosa and could scarcely keep up with the North American demand for its plasma and LCD televisions. At HD Electronics, Rosa operated a 2. Every night, six days a week, she fed the massive machine thin aluminum sheets. The machine ran all day, every day. Each time the press closed it sounded like a giant hammer striking metal: thwack, thwack, thwack. The metal sheets emerged pierced and molded into shape for each model and size of television. At the factory, 2. Rosa, worked the presses to make the pieces for the smaller televisions. Nearby were 1. 0 larger presses, each of which took two men to operate, to make backings for the giant- screen models. Rosa was glad to have the work, but it was exhausting. Her husband was serving a five- year sentence in prison. She wouldn’t talk about what had put him there. Whatever happened, she was on her own.
Thankfully, her two oldest were already grown and married. But she had six children still at home to clothe and feed. She especially worried about her youngest—9- year- old twins Rosita and Lencho. They had scarcely spent time with their father before he’d gone away. And now she was always at work, or tired or stressed about money. At the plant, the line leader urged the workers to move faster. And your feet start to ache and your back hurts because you’re standing in the same position the whole time.”Complaining wouldn’t do any good. There was always another worker who would take her place. The modest labor and safety protections that workers had fought for in the 1. North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), had been lost after the maquila industry was battered by the automotive crisis that began in 2. Multinational corporations competing in the global economy wanted cheap, compliant labor that they could hire and fire at will. The Mexican government and the business community, not wanting to lose an important sector of the economy, did everything they could to abide by industry demands. Rosa had to comply or be replaced. At 1 a. m., the women in her section were excused for their 3. Rosa had brought tamales to share. She wasn’t happy about being moved to machine 1. Another worker had been moving too slowly, so the line leader had moved Rosa to machine 1. She rolled her gray woolen gloves up to her elbows to prevent cuts from the thin metal sheets she fed into the massive press. After an hour, the line leader came by to ask Rosa how many pieces she had produced. You had to push the piece in with both hands and make sure it was perfectly centered.” After that, she would press two buttons, one with each hand, to lower the press. At approximately 2: 3. Rosa was centering a piece of metal in the machine when she heard something metallic give way. Rosa’s friend Cira Mesa was working on another machine a few feet away. The machine had fallen on her hands.”The difficult, often dangerous working conditions that Rosa and at least 1. Mexican workers endure in the maquiladora industry were supposed to get better. That’s what political leaders on both sides of the border had pledged in 1. NAFTA, it was promised, would drive up workers’ wages, improve working conditions and spur job growth, creating hundreds of thousands of new middle- class citizens on both sides of the border. The seeds of NAFTA were cultivated in Texas during numerous discussions between Mexico’s young Harvard- trained President Carlos Salinas and President George H. W. In 1. 99. 2, at a historic meeting in San Antonio, Salinas, Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney posed for a photo while their top negotiators ceremoniously signed the agreement at the Plaza San Antonio Hotel. The maquiladora industry was instrumental to NAFTA. Multinational corporations from developed countries like the United States and Canada could import raw materials to be assembled and manufactured at maquiladoras in free- trade zones along Mexico’s northern border. Mexico would provide the corporations with low- wage workers and charge minimal tariffs. Maquiladoras had been Mexico’s primary economic development strategy since the late 1. Under the repressive one- party rule of the Revolutionary Institutional Party, or PRI, the labor unions had been largely coopted to favor the business sector. By the early 1. 99. Mexican President Salinas, a member of the PRI, had become an unabashed cheerleader for NAFTA, telling Fortune magazine the agreement would “Create additional jobs and make wages grow. Mexico, with its lax pollution regulations and labor enforcement, would become a magnet for multinational corporations looking to cut costs, critics argued. The debate polarized both countries. During a 1. 99. 2 presidential debate, independent candidate and billionaire Ross Perot struck a chord with many critics when he described U. S. Again Texas played a crucial role. A frustrated President Salinas, who had spent three years negotiating the agreement with Bush, hastily requested a meeting with the president- elect, according to Maxwell A. Cameron and Brian Tomlin in their book The Making of NAFTA: How the Deal Was Done. With the help of Texas Gov. Ann Richards, they met in Austin to discuss changes to NAFTA that would include more protections for workers. NAFTA was ratified in 1. President Clinton praised the agreement’s benefits for workers. They’ll have more disposable income to buy more American products, and there will be less illegal immigration because more Mexicans will be able to support their children by staying home.”Clinton estimated NAFTA would produce 2. United States within the first two years. Salinas had similar glowing predictions. There were some positive economic indicators. Foreign direct investment in Mexico surged, and the country’s exports tripled. Meanwhile, Americans found they could buy imported goods more cheaply. But for workers on both sides of the border, especially those without a college degree, NAFTA was a devastating blow. The great “sucking sound to the south,” as Perot had so bluntly put it, had begun. Between 1. 99. 4 and 2. U. S. Workers from the higher- paid manufacturing sectors in the U. S. Meanwhile, cheap U. S.- subsidized corn flooded the Mexican market, putting small farmers out of business and forcing them to leave their towns for larger urban centers in search of work. Mexico’s economy grew at a sluggish annual per capita rate of just 1. Latin America, according to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Very little of the wealth generated by the maquiladoras was invested into Mexican society to alleviate poverty. The global economy favored a few. In 2. 01. 0 Forbes magazine named its first Mexican citizen, Carlos Slim, as the world’s richest man. Yet 4. 5 percent of the Mexican population lived in poverty, according to government figures. Like many, Rosa was struggling to put food on the table. Working six days a week she took home 5,2. To make a little extra money, she also sold cosmetics and face creams. In Reynosa, like other border cities, the cost of living wasn’t cheap. Food in the supermarkets cost as much as it did in the United States. The public elementary school in Rosa’s poor, working- class neighborhood was so overcrowded it divided the school day into two shifts. Her 9- year- old twins Rosita and Lencho waited until the morning shift was over so they could attend school in the afternoon. Rosa and other parents were expected to pay a registration fee, and for books and uniforms. The mortgage on her tiny two- bedroom home wasn’t cheap, either. Every month she paid 2,5. At the same time, life in Reynosa was becoming more dangerous. In 2. 00. 6, the government launched a military campaign against drug cartels and violence exploded, especially in working- class neighborhoods like Rosa’s. It wasn’t unusual for cartel gunmen to hijack the buses taking workers to the factories and use them to blockade the roads during gun battles with the military or a rival cartel. Workers were sometimes killed in the crossfire. Working night shifts was especially dangerous because the gunmen were most active at night. Foreign owners and upper- level managers of the maquiladoras curtailed their own travel to the city, holding management meetings across the river in Texas, where many of them lived. The inequality gap now had a new dimension involving personal safety: Upper management stayed on the U. S. She knew it was dangerous to leave for work late at night to take a bus across the city. But she always felt safe once she reached the factory. Jose Olmos was working one of the large stamping presses when he heard the screams. By the time he got to Rosa, “some of the women had fainted,” he said. I imagine she was in shock.

How To Get Rid Of Mice In House Without Killing Them. It’s a cold hard fact, winter weather drives mice and rats into our homes. In fall, with cooler weather moving in, several critters will be dying to invade your home to stay nice and warm. Mice breed fast and one mouse taking up residence in your home may result in a populations that exceeds 2. Thinking about it just makes you want to curl up in bed, feet safely off of the floor until you can come out of hibernation in the spring. If all you had to go up against were a few ants and the occasional spider, it wouldn’t be so bad. It’s those squirmy little mice that you dread. With beady eyes and worm- like tails, they infest the walls and comfy corners of your home without a second thought of consideration towards you and your family. How will you keep these pesky rodents from bedding down and chewing up the walls of your home? It makes you wonder, are there effective ways to get rid of mice naturally? To get rid of mice without killing them. Keep in mind that although popular, they are not evenly effective. We have listed pros and cons of each method. The first and most important step is prevention. How to prevent mice from entering your home. As soon as summer months start to slip away, it’s time to start thinking about your strategy for keeping mice out of the house. Create barriers and block any entrances. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it because once mice have settled in they can be extremely hard to get rid of. Mice commonly have their nests in attics, lofts, storage boxes, and wall interiors. The first step in mousy warfare is to work from the inside of your home out to block any holes and tunnels mice have created to get in. How far should you go in blocking holes? Don't settle for the boring, feature-free mouse that came with your PC, or for your laptop's uncomfortable touchpad. Our buying advice and product recommendations. Welcome to MICE Seoul, your complete business convention city. A place for national seminars and conference meetings. MicelleKey here is to seal up every opening mice could enter your home through. Repair holes in outside walls, floorboards or skirting boards. Fix broken air bricks. Tidy up cupboards. Remove nesting material. Inspect if doors (especially the garage door which is often the main entrance for mice) seal well. If not make sure to ensure it does seal well. Keep in mind that the common house mouse (Mus domesticus) is approximately 2 inch long and weighs about an ounce allowing it to sleep through openings just slightly larger than a pencil. Mice can enter through extremely small holes. Other common, uninvited guests are yellow- necked mice, wood mice, and brown rats. What to use as blocking material? Depending on the size of the hole, you can either block it with something like a scouring pad or dish sponge, or you may need to repair the hole by filling it with plaster or caulk. Steel wool for smaller and wire mesh for bigger holes if generally recommended by pest control professionals. Either way, by starting from the inside of the house and working your way out, mice that are attempting to get in through the blocked holes will probably give up and exit through the outer holes on your house. Make sure you’ve sealed all holes inside before starting on the outside. You can easily find entrances where mice have tunneled through by checking for droppings, stains and undesirable smells these rodents leave behind. Once you’re sure the mice have fled the scene, start on the outer walls and seal them up to prevent curious mice from coming back and tunneling a new hole. Keep your home tidy. Mice love nothing more than a dirty house. Not only stinking garbage but even lingering food crumbs make your home an open buffet for these little critters. You can easily prevent mice in your home by making it as unappetizing to them as possible. Make sure all the surfaces in your home are clean and that food is not left laying around in the open air where mice can smell it. Mice don’t roam large areas. They generally nest near their food source, so the critical element of effective mouse control is to find their food source. Once their food source is removed the mice can not survive. Keep your floors swept to reduce food particles laying around and vacuum at least once a week. You might not see any crumbs in the carpet, but even a tiny fleck of a Cheeto can be detected by mice. Keep pet food and grass seed in closed containers that mice aren’t able to chew into. Change garbages often and keep your outdoor ones a safe distance from your home. Garbages are like homing beacons for mice. Use smells that mice hate. Although garbages may ring the dinner bell for mice, some sources claim that mice absolutely hate certain smells and as a result will stay far away from them. Often recommended is peppermint oil which is a natural solution that supposedly repels mice with its strong scent. Mice have extremely sensitive noses, so any smell they don’t like hits them much harder. Peppermint oil will also keep insects out of your home, especially spiders. Simply place cotton balls with a few drops of real peppermint oil on them around your home; target areas where you suspect mouse activity. Natural home remedies that involve cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce are also helpful because of their spicy scent. Garlic salt will keep rodents away for a time, but eventually they’ll work their way past it. Stick to stronger scents to deter mice. They’re not only organic, but they won’t harm the mice if that’s something you wish to avoid. The downside of using sprays or scents is that these are not science- backed solutions. They are not generally recommended by professional pest control companies. Mice may find the smells irritating but they will be able to find their way around them so these are not a viable solution when it comes to natural ways of getting rid of mice. Use electronic repellents. Along with a sensitive nose, mice also have excellent hearing that makes them susceptible to high- pitched ultrasonic waves. At least, that’s the theory. Using sonar repellents such as the well- reviewed Rid- Tech Ultrasonic Pest Repeller is a humane solution to mouse traps and poisoned baits. However, mice can become accustomed to the sounds of ultrasonic devices and will eventually ignore them. There’s also the fact that the sound is blocked by walls and furniture, thus diminishing their effectivity. There’s little to no scientific evidence that high frequency sounds emitted by electronic mouse repellents are effective. Electronic devices may an effective solution, but only temporary. The best way to get rid of mice without killing them. Poisons and inhumane mouse traps will leave a litter of little corpses around, which isn’t healthy for anyone involved. Another downside of poisons; they are bad for mice so they are for children and pets too. There’s also the fact that traditional mouse poisons cause internal bleedings in the mice klling them slowly and painfully which puts many people off. Luckily, there are more friendly ways to keep mice away that don’t involve toxic chemicals and your own personal mouse graveyard. Non- lethal mouse trapsphoto by Roger Arquer. If you find yourself with a mouse infestation that needs more than preventative measures, trapping the mice with non- lethal devices will help you cut down the population. Live- catching mousetraps are your best solution in case you don’t want to kill mice. Some of these traps attract mice via food baits. Once the mouse is inside a door will snap closed, capturing the critter. Mouse traps are very effective, especially in capturing individual specimens. Make sure to be early in attacking the problem though, once your house has been infested, more extreme pest control measures may be necessary to get rid of the problem. There are many different kinds of traps. Some devices are available to purchase at a store or online, while others are easy to make yourself at home. The downside of trapping (inhumane and humane) is that it takes more effort than, for instance, using poison. The advantage of this method is that it allows you to catch and release mice without having to touch them. Where to place traps? Place traps wherever there are mouse droppings. Commonly behind appliances and throughout the home where the walls meet the floor.“You want them perpendicular to the wall, with the baited end closest to the wall,” Mr. Martin of pest control company Terminix said to the NY Times. Use an attractive bait. Mice will nibble on pretty much anything, but it helps to use one of their favorite foods. The mouse love cheese myth. Cheese is surprisingly not as attractive to them as cartoons make it out to be, but if you use a strong enough cheese, it may work better. Use foods like saltine crackers, peanut butter and small seeds or nuts. Anise seeds are particularly effective. You can also use bait foods that are sweet, like chocolate or candy. Mice like sugary foods, so don’t hesitate to lay down some Nutella spread. A cotton ball with a few drops of vanilla flavoring is attractive to mice too. You can even use wet cat or dog food to lure them in. Where to set the mice free? Whatever method you choose, removing the mouse from your home must involve dropping them off at least a mile away from your house. Mice, much like squirrels, will find their way back if released too close to home. With a few mice gone, the food supply suddenly becomes larger for the remaining mice, and they generally take the opportunity to stuff themselves full and breed. This results in a larger mouse population and only serves to aggravate the problem. Here are a few trap methods you can use to discreetly and humanely remove your mouse problem. Which mouse trap should you buy? Buy a trap endorsed by animal rights groups. Whether you’re a fan of PETA or not, they do have some pretty effective traps on their website. You can also check on sites like Amazon to see if PETA or The Humane Society have put their seal of approval on the contraption you’ve picked out. One of the cheapest and most effective humane traps is from Seabright and is called the Smart Mouse Trap, and you can buy it on Amazon for around $1. Midlife and the Grace of God: Paul David Tripp M.

As the Times notes, this case also highlights the need for officers to be properly trained in alternate ways of handling people with mental- health issues. A Los Angeles Police Department study released last year showed that more than one- third of the people shot by the department in 2. The Times had several independent experts on law- enforcement tactics review the Fontana video, and those experts questioned whether the officers faced an immediate threat when they opened fire. The video shows 4. James Hall being cornered by several police officers in the back of a Chevron gas station mini- mart where they engage in a brief standoff. Hall is seen shifting his weight between two counters before an officer shoots and he falls to the floor. The initial account by the Fontana Police Department described Hall as being armed with a knife and advancing on officers before police shot him, but the video appears to contradict that story. Lawyers for Hall’s family filed a state civil rights and wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Fontana and its Police Department, the Times reports, and the lawsuit also names 1.
