Guatemala’s baby brokers: how thousands of children were stolen for adoption
- At the height of the adoption boom, one in 100 children born in Guatemala was placed for adoption abroad.
- Baby brokers, known as "jaladoras," would approach poor, often indigenous women who were pregnant and convince them to give up their children for adoption.
- Jaladoras would sometimes use deception, coercion, or even outright kidnapping to obtain children for adoption.
- The adoption industry in Guatemala was a lucrative business, with adoption costs rising from $3,500 per child in 1977 to $45,000 in later years.
Despite this shift, younger generations in China, particularly women, have shown increasing acceptance of LGBTQ individuals, as evidenced by the popularity of gay-themed online fiction.
Is Turkey getting more dangerous for women?
- In 2011, Turkey became the first country to sign the Istanbul Convention, a Europe-wide treaty on combating violence against women and girls.

Linux, Shadowman, And Open Source Spirit
The Great Recession (2007-2008) drove businesses to seek cost-effective alternatives to Unix, benefiting Linux adoption.
- In 2002, Red Hat introduced Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which was not just about the software but also the whole ecosystem around it, including certifications, partnerships, and customer support.
- RHEL gained popularity as it came in through the "back door" - people would use it at home and then bring it into the office, gradually expanding its use.
