PROVINCIA DE PETORCA.- Martes 27 de Marzo de 2012.- En el marco de la declaración de zona de catástrofe y a fin de brindar mayor seguridad y tranquilidad a la población que se ha visto afectada por la sequía, el Intendente Regional Raúl Celis presidió tres ceremonias en las comunas de La Ligua y Cabildo, en las que entregó estanques de hasta 500 litros de capacidad, inauguró un nuevo tranque captador de aguas y traspasó bonos de contingencia a 183 campesinos.
La primera actividad tuvo lugar en la localidad de Valle Hermoso de La Ligua, donde el Intendente junto al Gobernador Provincial de Petorca, Andrés Leiva, el alcalde Rodrigo Sánchez y los parlamentarios Andrea Molina y Eduardo Cerda hicieron entrega de 35 estanques concentradores de agua de 200 y 500 litros de un total de 160, que se completarán en el corto tiempo a igual número de familias.
La inversión de ONEMI alcanzó los 150 millones de pesos y la solución por esta vía, es que 500 familias dispongan de estos medios para contar con el vital elemento, ya que el beneficio se extenderá a las localidades de Quebrada El Cepo, Quebrada El Pobre y Cuatro Esquinas, incluyendo las plantas de agua potable rural.
Acogiendo las demandas de la comunidad el Intendente anunció que actualmente abastecen a los sectores poblaciones 12 camiones aljibes, número que se aumentará a 24 para asegurar la normalidad de este servicio en todas las localidades.
INAUGURACION TRANQUE LA MORA
Posteriormente el Intendente se trasladó a la localidad de La Mora, comuna de Cabildo, donde inauguró un tranque de cuatro mil cúbicos de capacidad de agua, que se alimenta durante las noches, permitiendo que 48 familias puedan disponer de este recurso para los sistemas de riego, cubriendo alrededor de 50 hectáreas productivas.
La inversión alcanzó a los 40 millones de pesos los que fueron aportados en su mayor parte por Indap, ya que también colaboró la Empresa Minera La Ceniza.
Este adelanto fue recibido con satisfacción por los agricultores lo que quedó de manifiesto en un acto público que tuvo lugar en la escuela municipal del sector G 46 Los Angeles.
BONOS DE INCENTIVO
Finalmente en la sede del Club Deportivo La Vega, de Cabildo la máxima autoridad regional presidió la entrega de cheques a 183 agricultores, correspondientes a bonos compensatorios, de libre disponibilidad para enfrentar las carencias derivadas de la sequía.
Los usuarios del Programa de Desarrollo Local recibieron 100 mil pesos cada uno.
En total, los beneficiados llegarán a 763 pequeños agricultores de las comunas de La Ligua, Cabildo y Petorca por un total de 76 millones 300 mil pesos.

In the picture, Soldier Salomon Teke, one of the members of the warden post of the Unamid water point (1 km away from the camp site). 10 soldiers spent one month in this position taking care of the water point against attacks. Last night, because of the heavy rain, the position of these 10 peacekeepers was completely floted. Salomon Teke (26 years old) has one child in his home town, Rustenburg (near Johanesburg). This is his third mission (Congo in 2006 and Burundi in 2008) and, after almost 3 months in Darfur, he recognizes that the place is hard to live in. "The rebels look bravest than in other places that I have been", said Teke. Altough he recognizes that the life is stressfull and boring in the water point and altough the tough conditions of the last night, he says that he is already used to it. "We are soldiers", he afirms. Photo by Albert Gonzalez Farran / Unamid / www.albertgonzalez.net

Almost 100 members of the United Kingdom engineering contingent serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan have received medals recognizing their commitment and service to the people of the conflict-afflicted country.
The engineers have been serving in Malakal, in the north of the country, since July and will end their tour of duty in two months’ time. During their rotation, the UK troops have carried out significant infrastructural work vital to the Mission, including camp construction, building drainage systems and perimeter security structures as well as helicopter landing sites.
In Bentiu, the contingent is building a new permanent hospital, providing medical care to United Nations personnel, and clinical training to local medical staff at the Bentiu State Hospital. They are also working with colleagues from the Indian engineering battalion on remedial work at Rubkona airfield.
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General, David Shearer, awarded the UN Peacekeeping medals to the troops, including their commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Katie Hislop, at a special ceremony in Malakal.
Speaking at the event, he said their work had made a huge contribution to the Mission’s ability to fulfill its mandate of protecting civilians and building durable peace.
“Your efforts and professionalism are highly regarded and you have made a valuable contribution to UNMISS. It is my pleasure to award to you all the United Nations Peacekeeping Medal in recognition of your exemplary and outstanding work in South Sudan,” said David Shearer.
“I hope you wear these medals as proud and worthy ambassadors of your country and of the United Nations.”
The United Kingdom has nearly 700 uniformed personnel deployed within UN missions across the world. Its contribution to the UNMISS is its largest with nearly 400 troops serving in Juba, Bentiu and Malakal. Among the contingent are 41 female personnel, most of whom work at the UK hospital in Bentiu. David Shearer said he appreciated the UK’s recent decision to extend its commitment in South Sudan until 2020.
Speaking at the medal parade, Lt. Colonel Katie Hislop said the contingent appreciated the support and kindness of their fellow Troop Contributing Countries and the mission’s civilian and military staff whom she considered friends. They had built warm and strong relationships that would endure.
She said that the medal ceremony was about providing recognition for the soldiers’ commitment and service, “not just those who are visible and on parade, but those who are in the sangars and behind the scenes covering essential duties to protect and sustain us.”
For many of the contingent, it is their first deployment with the youngest soldier having turned 18 just before being arriving in South Sudan. Others have served their countries for decades before being deployed to Malakal and Bentiu.
“All have trained hard to be here, work hard every day to try and help UNMISS improve infrastructure and security in order to support the mission in protecting civilians,” said Lt. Colonel Hislop. “In addition to this, all our soldiers, have left behind friends and family in the UK – today is about saying thank to you them too.”

Se conoce como adelitas o 'soldaderas' a las mujeres que participaron en la Revolución mexicana, en los contingentes militares de los distintos grupos revolucionarios como soldados, cocineras, enfermeras o ayudantes.[1]
Versiones historiográficas y periodísticas coinciden en señalar a Adela Velarde Pérez,[2] enfermera oriunda de Ciudad Juárez, como la persona que inspiró el corrido popular "Adelita". Fue nieta de Rafael Velarde, amigo de Benito Juárez, quien dio alojo al Benemérito de las Américas en su exilio en Paso del Norte (hoy Ciudad Juárez). En 1914 la "Adelita" atendió al soldado herido Antonio del Río Armenta, quien le compuso el famoso corrido.
Adelita atendía a los heridos villistas de la División del Norte, como parte de la Brigada de la Cruz que formó la señora Leonor Villegas de Manón. Al concluir la lucha armada, Adela Velarde Pérez, perfectamente identificada, recibió años después un homenaje como veterana de guerra. Otras versiones[cita requerida] señalan que se inspiró en Altagracia Martínez, perteneciente a la clase alta en la Ciudad de Mexico. Simpatizante de la Revolución se une a la misma, siendo bautizada con el nombre de "Adelita" por el general Francisco "Pancho" Villa y el general Rodolfo Fierro. También es conocida como Marieta Martinez[cita requerida]. Al parecer fue asesinada por mandato de Pascual Orozco[cita requerida].
Ana María Fernández Segovia, cantante potosina y jubilada de gobierno del Estado afirma que su finado tío Enrique Segovia es el compositor del famoso corrido “La Adelita”[cita requerida]. Aunque no posee documentos históricos que avalen dicha autoría, ella asegura que su tío compuso el tema luego de que los Carrancistas lo obligaron a sumarse al movimiento, en 1913. “Mi tío era muy joven cuando los carrancistas pasaron por Charcas, se lo llevaron a él y a su primo Antonio, pero como no tenía instrucción militar, lo pusieron a recoger heridos en las batallas contra las tropas del gobierno”. grega que Enrique Segovia era músico lírico y que, apoyado por una vieja guitarra, el potosino compuso el corrido en alguna guarida de las tropas de Venustiano Carranza, al norte del país[cita requerida].
Los únicos documentos que posee son recortes del periódico potosino “Presente” y del periódico Éxito, de la Ciudad de México, ambos de 1966, en los que Enrique Segovia Junior, hijo del compositor pide se le reconozca la autoría del corrido a su padre. “El periodista Esteban Vázquez Valdivia, especializado en las crónicas de otros tiempos del Estado de San Luis y su capital, señala que existen todas las probabilidades de que esa pieza popular sea original de Don Enrique Segovia, compositor potosino que gozó justificada popularidad en la región de Texas durante los periodos revolucionarios y los alegres veintes”, cita la nota “Autor de la Adelita”, publicada en la sección artística del semanario Éxito, fechado del 13 al 19 de marzo de 1966.
Cada 20 de noviembre, muchas niñas se disfrazan de adelitas como parte de las actividades para la celebración del día de la Revolución mexicana.
Canciones conocidas como corridos revolucionarios y películas han sido creadas para contar la historia de Adelita.

Kos or Cos (Greek: Κως) is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, next to the Gulf of Gökova/Cos.
In Homer's Iliad, a contingent from Kos fought for the Greeks in the Trojan War.[12]
In the Roman mythology, the island was visited by Hercules.[13]
The island was originally colonised by the Carians. The Dorians invaded it in the 11th century BC, establishing a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepius cult made their new home famous for its sanatoria. The other chief sources of the island's wealth lay in its wines and, in later days, in its silk manufacture.[14]
Its early history–as part of the religious-political amphictyony that included Lindos, Kamiros, Ialysos, Cnidus and Halicarnassus, the Dorian Hexapolis (hexapolis means six cities in Greek),[15]–is obscure. At the end of the 6th century, Kos fell under Achaemenid domination but rebelled after the Greek victory at the Battle of Mycale in 479. During the Greco-Persian Wars, before it twice expelled the Persians, it was ruled by Persian-appointed tyrants, but as a rule it seems to have been under oligarchic government. In the 5th century, it joined the Delian League, and, after the revolt of Rhodes, it served as the chief Athenian station in the south-eastern Aegean (411–407). In 366 BC, a democracy was instituted. In 366 BC, the capital was transferred from Astypalaia to the newly built town of Kos, laid out in a Hippodamian grid. After helping to weaken Athenian power, in the Social War (357-355 BC), it fell for a few years to the king Mausolus of Caria.
Proximity to the east gave the island first access to imported silk thread. Aristotle mentions silk weaving conducted by the women of the island.[16] Silk production of garments was conducted in large factories by women slaves.[17]
In the Hellenistic age, Kos attained the zenith of its prosperity. Its alliance was valued by the kings of Egypt, who used it as a naval outpost to oversee the Aegean. As a seat of learning, it arose as a provincial branch of the museum of Alexandria, and became a favorite resort for the education of the princes of the Ptolemaic dynasty. During the hellenistic age, there was a medical school; however, the theory that this school was founded by Hippocrates (see below) during the classical age is an unwarranted extrapolation.[18] Among its most famous sons were the physician Hippocrates, the painter Apelles, the poets Philitas and, perhaps, Theocritus.
Diodorus Siculus (xv. 76) and Strabo (xiv. 657) describe it as a well-fortified port. Its position gave it a high importance in Aegean trade; while the island itself was rich in wines of considerable fame.[19] Under Alexander the Great and the Egyptian Ptolemies the town developed into one of the great centers in the Aegean; Josephus[20] quotes Strabo to the effect that Mithridates was sent to Kos to fetch the gold deposited there by the queen Cleopatra of Egypt. Herod is said to have provided an annual stipend for the benefit of prize-winners in the athletic games,[21] and a statue was erected there to his son Herod the Tetrarch ("C. I. G." 2502 ). Paul briefly visited here according to Acts 21:1.
Except for occasional incursions by corsairs and some severe earthquakes, the island has rarely had its peace disturbed. Following the lead of its larger neighbour, Rhodes, Kos generally displayed a friendly attitude toward the Romans; in 53 AD it was made a free city. Lucian (125–180) mentions their manufacture of semi-transparent light dresses, a fashion success.[22] The island of Kos also featured a provincial library during the Roman period. The island first became a center for learning during the Ptolemaic dynasty, and Hippocrates, Apelles, Philitas and possibly Theocritus came from the area. An inscription lists people who made contributions to build the library in the 1st century AD.[23] One of the people responsible for the library's construction was the Kos doctor Gaiou Stertinou Xenofontos, who lived in Rome and was the personal physician of the Emperors Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero.[24]
The bishopric of Cos was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Rhodes.[25] Its bishop Meliphron attended the First Council of Nicaea in 325. Eddesius was one of the minority Eastern bishops who withdrew from the Council of Sardica in about 344 and set up a rival council at Philippopolis. Iulianus went to the synod held in Constantinople in 448 in preparation for the Council of Chalcedon of 451, in which he participated as a legate of Pope Leo I, and he was a signatory of the joint letter that the bishops of the Roman province of Insulae sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian with regard to the killing of Proterius of Alexandria. Dorotheus took part in a synod in 518. Georgius was a participant of the Third Council of Constantinople in 680–681. Constantinus went to the Photian Council of Constantinople (879).[26][27] Under Byzantine rule, apart from the participation of its bishops in councils, the island's history remains obscure. It was governed by a droungarios in the 8th/9th centuries, and seems to have acquired some importance in the 11th and 12th centuries: Nikephoros Melissenos began his uprising here, and in the middle of the 12th century, it was governed by a scion of the ruling Komnenos dynasty, Nikephoros Komnenos.[25]
This is a photograph from the second annual running of The Lough Lene Gaels Hurling and Camogie Clubs "New Year's Resolution Run" which was held in Collinstown, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 12th January 2014 at 13:00. There were two races on offer today - a 10KM road race and a 5KM road race, fun run, and walk. This is one of the first road races in the midlands of the New Year. As this was a community orientated event families were especially welcome in the 5KM race. The race was organised to raise funding for the development of the GAA pitches for the Lough Lene Gaels Hurling and Camogie Clubs. Overall this was a very successful event with a very large field of well over 300 participants in both races combined. The great local effort was exemplified by a very big local contingent from Collinstown and neighbouring areas.
The 5KM race was an out and back course on the Collinstown to Fore Road. The 10KM was also on an out and back course with a deviation between 2KM and 7KM for the longer race. There were several tough hills but an equal amount of down-hill. The turn around on the course for the 10KM came at Doyle's Pub [goo.gl/maps/WxPSy - Google Streetview] at Glenidan.
Refreshments were served afterwards in the Lough Lene Inn where the prize ceremony was also held.
Note: Due to the inclement weather and poor lighting we had to, unfortunately, delete a lot of our photographs as there were very many blurs and fuzzy pictures. You will find lots more photographs and race results on the Facebook pages outlined below.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Almost 100 members of the United Kingdom engineering contingent serving with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan have received medals recognizing their commitment and service to the people of the conflict-afflicted country.
The engineers have been serving in Malakal, in the north of the country, since July and will end their tour of duty in two months’ time. During their rotation, the UK troops have carried out significant infrastructural work vital to the Mission, including camp construction, building drainage systems and perimeter security structures as well as helicopter landing sites.
In Bentiu, the contingent is building a new permanent hospital, providing medical care to United Nations personnel, and clinical training to local medical staff at the Bentiu State Hospital. They are also working with colleagues from the Indian engineering battalion on remedial work at Rubkona airfield.
The Special Representative of the Secretary-General, David Shearer, awarded the UN Peacekeeping medals to the troops, including their commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Katie Hislop, at a special ceremony in Malakal.
Speaking at the event, he said their work had made a huge contribution to the Mission’s ability to fulfill its mandate of protecting civilians and building durable peace.
“Your efforts and professionalism are highly regarded and you have made a valuable contribution to UNMISS. It is my pleasure to award to you all the United Nations Peacekeeping Medal in recognition of your exemplary and outstanding work in South Sudan,” said David Shearer.
“I hope you wear these medals as proud and worthy ambassadors of your country and of the United Nations.”
The United Kingdom has nearly 700 uniformed personnel deployed within UN missions across the world. Its contribution to the UNMISS is its largest with nearly 400 troops serving in Juba, Bentiu and Malakal. Among the contingent are 41 female personnel, most of whom work at the UK hospital in Bentiu. David Shearer said he appreciated the UK’s recent decision to extend its commitment in South Sudan until 2020.
Speaking at the medal parade, Lt. Colonel Katie Hislop said the contingent appreciated the support and kindness of their fellow Troop Contributing Countries and the mission’s civilian and military staff whom she considered friends. They had built warm and strong relationships that would endure.
She said that the medal ceremony was about providing recognition for the soldiers’ commitment and service, “not just those who are visible and on parade, but those who are in the sangars and behind the scenes covering essential duties to protect and sustain us.”
For many of the contingent, it is their first deployment with the youngest soldier having turned 18 just before being arriving in South Sudan. Others have served their countries for decades before being deployed to Malakal and Bentiu.
“All have trained hard to be here, work hard every day to try and help UNMISS improve infrastructure and security in order to support the mission in protecting civilians,” said Lt. Colonel Hislop. “In addition to this, all our soldiers, have left behind friends and family in the UK – today is about saying thank to you them too.”

Kos or Cos (Greek: Κως) is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, next to the Gulf of Gökova/Cos.
In Homer's Iliad, a contingent from Kos fought for the Greeks in the Trojan War.[12]
In the Roman mythology, the island was visited by Hercules.[13]
The island was originally colonised by the Carians. The Dorians invaded it in the 11th century BC, establishing a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepius cult made their new home famous for its sanatoria. The other chief sources of the island's wealth lay in its wines and, in later days, in its silk manufacture.[14]
Its early history–as part of the religious-political amphictyony that included Lindos, Kamiros, Ialysos, Cnidus and Halicarnassus, the Dorian Hexapolis (hexapolis means six cities in Greek),[15]–is obscure. At the end of the 6th century, Kos fell under Achaemenid domination but rebelled after the Greek victory at the Battle of Mycale in 479. During the Greco-Persian Wars, before it twice expelled the Persians, it was ruled by Persian-appointed tyrants, but as a rule it seems to have been under oligarchic government. In the 5th century, it joined the Delian League, and, after the revolt of Rhodes, it served as the chief Athenian station in the south-eastern Aegean (411–407). In 366 BC, a democracy was instituted. In 366 BC, the capital was transferred from Astypalaia to the newly built town of Kos, laid out in a Hippodamian grid. After helping to weaken Athenian power, in the Social War (357-355 BC), it fell for a few years to the king Mausolus of Caria.
Proximity to the east gave the island first access to imported silk thread. Aristotle mentions silk weaving conducted by the women of the island.[16] Silk production of garments was conducted in large factories by women slaves.[17]
In the Hellenistic age, Kos attained the zenith of its prosperity. Its alliance was valued by the kings of Egypt, who used it as a naval outpost to oversee the Aegean. As a seat of learning, it arose as a provincial branch of the museum of Alexandria, and became a favorite resort for the education of the princes of the Ptolemaic dynasty. During the hellenistic age, there was a medical school; however, the theory that this school was founded by Hippocrates (see below) during the classical age is an unwarranted extrapolation.[18] Among its most famous sons were the physician Hippocrates, the painter Apelles, the poets Philitas and, perhaps, Theocritus.
Diodorus Siculus (xv. 76) and Strabo (xiv. 657) describe it as a well-fortified port. Its position gave it a high importance in Aegean trade; while the island itself was rich in wines of considerable fame.[19] Under Alexander the Great and the Egyptian Ptolemies the town developed into one of the great centers in the Aegean; Josephus[20] quotes Strabo to the effect that Mithridates was sent to Kos to fetch the gold deposited there by the queen Cleopatra of Egypt. Herod is said to have provided an annual stipend for the benefit of prize-winners in the athletic games,[21] and a statue was erected there to his son Herod the Tetrarch ("C. I. G." 2502 ). Paul briefly visited here according to Acts 21:1.
Except for occasional incursions by corsairs and some severe earthquakes, the island has rarely had its peace disturbed. Following the lead of its larger neighbour, Rhodes, Kos generally displayed a friendly attitude toward the Romans; in 53 AD it was made a free city. Lucian (125–180) mentions their manufacture of semi-transparent light dresses, a fashion success.[22] The island of Kos also featured a provincial library during the Roman period. The island first became a center for learning during the Ptolemaic dynasty, and Hippocrates, Apelles, Philitas and possibly Theocritus came from the area. An inscription lists people who made contributions to build the library in the 1st century AD.[23] One of the people responsible for the library's construction was the Kos doctor Gaiou Stertinou Xenofontos, who lived in Rome and was the personal physician of the Emperors Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero.[24]
The bishopric of Cos was a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Rhodes.[25] Its bishop Meliphron attended the First Council of Nicaea in 325. Eddesius was one of the minority Eastern bishops who withdrew from the Council of Sardica in about 344 and set up a rival council at Philippopolis. Iulianus went to the synod held in Constantinople in 448 in preparation for the Council of Chalcedon of 451, in which he participated as a legate of Pope Leo I, and he was a signatory of the joint letter that the bishops of the Roman province of Insulae sent in 458 to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian with regard to the killing of Proterius of Alexandria. Dorotheus took part in a synod in 518. Georgius was a participant of the Third Council of Constantinople in 680–681. Constantinus went to the Photian Council of Constantinople (879).[26][27] Under Byzantine rule, apart from the participation of its bishops in councils, the island's history remains obscure. It was governed by a droungarios in the 8th/9th centuries, and seems to have acquired some importance in the 11th and 12th centuries: Nikephoros Melissenos began his uprising here, and in the middle of the 12th century, it was governed by a scion of the ruling Komnenos dynasty, Nikephoros Komnenos.[25]
