Washburn is the US capital city of New Kansas, Kepler System. True to it’s namesake, New Kansas is a fertile farming world from which a wide variety of crops are cultivated and animals raised. Settlements range from small, old fashioned farms to large, mechanised outposts of synchronised machines and technology.
Washburn is the hub for all manner of activity; business, education and pleasure. It is the port by which New Kansas feeds a large proportion of the Core Worlds. The city is home to several of the top biochemical and veterinary colleges of their kind. A giant spaceport sits on the outskirts of the city, big enough to accommodate the larger interplanetary barges for the transfer of crops and livestock. There is also quite the lively nightlife; most of these bars and cantinas centre around the American Cool Revival trend. They feature music and décor reminiscent of American days gone by.
There exists a quiet acrimony the settlers who reside solely within Washburn and the more isolated farmers. The latter consider their city-based fellows stuck-up and pretentious. The former consider the farming population crass and uncultured.
The city is home to the New Kansas Senator, when she is not involved in democratic discussions back on Earth. Although officially neutral during the Pan-Eurasian War, several of the large farmers sold food to the under-siege Coalition population of Kepler II. One side of the story paints the farmers as saving the lives of starving children. The reality was that rich agricultural groups made huge profits breaking a neutrality clause set by the government. The US investigation into the food smuggling found no person or organisation culpable is considered a whitewash by the Coalition.

Santo Domingo de la Calzada és una població situada al costat del riu Oja, que dóna nom a la regió, en el trajecte del camí de Santiago.
El seu nom i fundació provenen de Domingo García, després canonitzat com a Santo Domingo de la Calzada, qui creà un pont, un hospital i un alberg de peregrins, per a facilitar el seu pas cap a Santiago de Compostela, al voltant de l'any 1045.
És famosa la dita de "Santo Domingo de la Calzada, donde cantó la gallina después de asada", gràcies a un miracle atribuït al sant. En record d'aquesta llegenda es guarda permanentment a la catedral un gall i una gallina, en un galliner construït amb forja.
La Catedral va ser començada, segons els "Anales Compostelanos", l'any 1158, amb la finalitat d'acollir les restes d'un dels sants més coneguts i venerats en el Camí de Santiago, Santo Domingo de la Calzada, mort en l'any 1109.
El mestre Garçión, possiblement d'origen francès, va projectar un gran temple tardorromànic d'acord amb la importància del lloc, i del que encara es conserven importants vestigis, en concret la capçalera i el disseny de la resta del temple. Des del punt de vista arquitectònic destaca la seva estructura, amb una capçalera amb deambulatori que circumda el presbiteri, i tres capelles absidals de les que només la central és de les originals. Pel que fa a l'escultura d'aquesta part de la catedral, cal destacar per la seva importància tota la sèrie de capitells historiats del deambulatori i sobretot les quatre pilastres decorades que donen al presbiteri. En elles s'ha vist representat un arbre de Jessè destacant per la seva qualitat les imatges de la Santíssima Trinitat i d'un Rei David músic.
El cor de la catedral és una gran peça plateresca realitzada en la dècada de 1520 per Andrés de Nájera i Guillén d'Holanda, entre d'altres. La qualitat de les seves talles s'aprecia en els treballs de delicats calats o en la marqueteria dels seus setials. Els relleus de les cadires representen figures de sants i santes. Presidint, a la cadira abacial, es troba Santo Domingo. També és digne de ressenyar l'interessant programa simbòlic de tot el conjunt, reafirmat per una sèrie de sentències inscrites en molts dels respatllers.
El sepulcre de Santo Domingo de la Calzada és una obra en la qual conflueixen diversos estils per ser possiblement fruit de la unió de peces de tres sepulcres diferents. Romànica és la lauda sepulcral en la qual es representa al Sant jacent, gòtica és la taula en la qual es narren els seus miracles, i tardogòtic és el templet. Aquest va ser dissenyat per Felipe Vigarny i realitzat per Juan de Rasines en 1513.
El galliner, on s'aixopluguen el gall i la gallina com a record del famós miracle, és d'estil gòtic del segle XV.
Altres obres importants de la catedral són les capelles funeràries de Santa Teresa i de la Magdalena. La primera conté diversos sepulcres gòtics, el del centre de Pedro Suárez de Figueroa, i un bell retaule de pintura sobre taula de finals del segle XV. La segona és força menor en grandària però igualment interessant ja que és d'un estil proper al del gran escultor Felipe Vigarny. És d'estil gòtic tardà i en ella està enterrat Pedro de Carranza, maestrescola de la Catedral de Burgos. Destaca el sepulcre, la reixa i el petit retaule del pintor de l'època León Picardo.
El claustre és una obra gòtic-mudèjar en el qual destaca la sala capitular pel seu cadirat del segle XVII i per la seva enteixinat mudèjar com a sostre. S'hi exposen valuoses obres d'art com tríptics flamencs, orfebreria i altres importants peces escultòriques.
La llegenda del gall i la gallina
Al segle XIV pelegrina a Compostela Hugonell, un jove alemany de 18 anys que va acompanyat pels seus pares. En la fonda on s'allotgen treballa una noia jove que s'enamora d'ell i li requereix d'amors, al que el noi es nega. Despitada i amb ànsies de venjança, guarda al sarró del jove una copa de plata i després l'acusa de robatori.
El jove Hugonell i els seus pares es disposen a partir per seguir el pelegrinatge, quan arriba la justícia i comproven l'acusació registrant el sarró del noi. El declaren culpable i és condemnat a la forca. Els pares no poden fer res per ell més que resar a Santiago. De retorn a Alemanya, a l'acostar-se al cos penjat del seu fill per acomiadar-se senten com aquest els parla des de la forca i els diu que està viu per la gràcia del Sant.
Feliços i contents van a comunicar la notícia al corregidor que, just en aquest moment, està sopant opíparament unes aus. El corregidor naturalment es burla del que sent i llança la frase coneguda: «El vostre fill està tan viu com aquest gall i aquesta gallina que em disposava a menjar abans que em importunarais». I en aquest moment, les aus salten del plat i es posen a cantar i cloquejar alegrement.
D'aquesta llegenda va néixer la dita popular: «En Santo Domingo de la Calzada, donde cantó la gallina después de asada». Es tracta d'una llegenda molt similar a la Llegenda del Gall de Barcelos i probablement les dues tinguin un origen comú.

"... Después paso a través de arenas, rocas y nieve y encontró un camino y unas rosas, las saludo y recordó a la suya, se echo en el pasto y lloró. En ese instante apareció un zorro, el Principito lo saludó y lo invitó a jugar con él. Este respondió: No puedo porque no me has domesticado ¿Qué significa eso? Es algo que se ha olvidado dijo el zorro, significa crear vínculos.
Si tu me domesticas nos necesitaremos el uno al otro.
Empiezo a comprender dijo el Principito.
El zorro guardó silencio y lo miro largo rato.
Si quieres domesticarme tienes que tener paciencia ya que al comienzo estaré muy lejos pero, cada día me acercare más a ti. D e este modo el Principito domesticó al zorro.
Cuando se acercó el día de su partida el zorro se despidió y le dijo: Creo que voy a llorar pero, es tu culpa yo no quería hacerte daño pero tu quisiste que te domesticara.
Así es contestó, mejor vete a mirar las rosas y comprenderás que la tuya es la única en el mundo.
Cuando las miró les dijo:
-No se parecen en nada a mi rosa ni significan nada las rosas se sintieron molestas y el continuó.
-Ustedes son bellas, pero están vacías, mi rosa es más importante que ustedes porque la riego y la cuido y así regreso junto al zorro.
-Adiós le dijo
-Adiós contestó el zorro y le dio un buen consejo.
El tiempo que has perdido con tu rosa es lo que la ha hecho tan importante.
Los hombres olvidaron esta verdad pero tu no debes hacerlo y eres responsable de lo que has domesticado o sea de tu rosa.
Si lo soy repitió este a fin de recordarlo y se marcho... "
~ Jamás nunca se me olvidará ese trozo del principito, que ganas yo haber podido domesticar al zorro... pero no pude no me dio para hacerlo... y ahora como hago para recuperar lo perdido ?, para no perder a quien quieres... no es culpa mía lo que pasó lo se, pero no puedo dejar de sentirme culpable, que necesito estar contigo, que sin ti me desespero, necesito saber de ti, que haces, donde estás, te extraño, cada segundo se vuelve un milenio sin ti... esto juntos no nos lleva a nada, pero sin ti me lleva a la locura... a la desesperación... te extraño...
pero ya lo hecho está hecho, no se puede volver atrás pero si, ver mas adelante....
36Entón chegou Xesús cos seus discípulos a un terreo chamado Xetsemaní e díxolles:
‑Sentade aquí, mentres eu vou orar.
37E, levando consigo a Pedro e mais ós dous fillos do Zebedeo, empezou a poñerse triste e a sentirse fondamente angustiado. 38E díxolles:
‑Morro de tristura; quedade aquí, e vixiade comigo.
39E avantando un pouco, caeu rostro en terra, mentres rogaba:
‑Meu Pai, se é posible, arreda de min este cáliz. Pero non se faga o que eu quero, senón o que queres ti.
40E, volvendo onda os discípulos, atopounos durmindo. Díxolle a Pedro:
‑¿Non puidestes velar comigo nin tan sequera unha hora? 41Estade á espreita e orade, para que non entredes na tentación. O espírito está disposto, pero a carne é débil.
42E arredándose de novo, por segunda vez púxose a orar dicindo:
‑Meu Pai, se este cáliz non pode pasar sen que eu o beba, fágase a túa vontade.
43E, volvendo de novo, atopounos tombados, porque lles caían os ollos co sono. 44Deixounos e arredouse de novo, e púxose a orar por terceira vez, repetindo as mesmas palabras. 45Despois volveu onda os seus discípulos e díxolles:
‑¿Conque aínda durmides e descansades? Pois sabede que xa chega a hora e o Fillo do Home vai ser entregado nas mans dos pecadores. 46¡Veña, erguédevos e vaiámonos, que xa está aquí o que me vai entregar!
47Aínda estaba falando cando chegou Xudas, un dos Doce, acompañado dun tropel de xente con espadas e paus, mandada polos sumos sacerdotes e polos senadores do pobo. 48O traidor déralles esta contrasinal:
‑A quen eu lle dea un bico, ese é, prendédeo.
49De seguida achegouse a Xesús e díxolle:
‑¡Saúde, Mestre!
E bicouno. 50Xesús respondeulle:
‑Amigo, ¿e para isto viñeches?
Entón, adiantáronse, botáronlle a man enriba a Xesús e prendérono.
51Pero un dos que estaba con Xesús, botando man á súa espada, desenvaiñouna, e feriu ó criado do sumo sacerdote, rabenándolle unha orella. 52Pero Xesús díxolle:
‑Volve a espada ó seu sitio, pois todos os que levan espada pola espada perecerán. 53¿Seica pensas que non podo acudir a meu Pai? El poñería á miña disposición, agora mesmiño, máis de doce lexións de anxos. 54Pero, ¿como se ían entón cumprir as Escrituras, que din que ten que suceder así?
55E naquela hora díxolle á xente:
‑Saístes prenderme con paus e espadas, coma se fose un bandido. A diario estiven sentado no templo ensinando e non me prendestes. 56Pero todo isto pasa para que se cumpra o que escribiron os profetas.
Entón todos os discípulos fuxiron, abandonándoo.
57Os que prenderon a Xesús levárono á casa de Caifás, o sumo sacerdote, onde estaban reunidos os letrados e mais os senadores. 58Pedro seguiuno de lonxe ata o patio do sumo sacerdote e, entrando dentro, sentou cos criados para ver como acababa todo aquilo.
59Os sumos sacerdotes e mais o Sanedrín teimaban por encontrar algún falso testemuño contra Xesús para o poderen condenar á morte. 60Pero non o atopaban por moitas falsas testemuñas que comparecían. O fin, viñeron dúas 61que dicían:
‑Este afirmou: podo destruír o templo de Deus e reconstruílo en tres días.
62Entón ergueuse o sumo sacerdote e díxolle:
‑¿Non respondes nada? ¿Que é o que estes testemuñan contra ti?
63Pero Xesús calaba, e o sumo sacerdote dixo:
‑Conxúrote polo Deus vivo que me digas se ti es o Mesías, o Fillo de Deus.
64Xesús contestou:
‑Ti o dixeches. E dígovos máis: A partir de agora ides ver como o Fillo do Home senta á dereita do Todopoderoso e vén entre as nubes do ceo.
65Daquela o sumo sacerdote, rachando os vestidos, exclamou:
‑¿Que necesidade temos de testemuñas? Vós mesmos oístes a blasfemia. 66¿Que vos parece?
Eles responderon:
‑É culpable: merece a morte.
67Entón cuspíronlle na cara e uns déronlle unhas trompadas; outros zorregábanlle 68dicindo:
‑¡Cristo, ora, adiviña quen che pegou!

チュンリー Chun-Rī
Basado en el chino simplificado:春丽 tradicional: 春麗] Chūn-Lì) es un personaje ficticio de la saga Street Fighter de Capcom. Primero fue introducida en Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, apareciendo también como personaje en las siguientes sagas de la serie. Su nombre es mandarín (chun 春 "primavera", lì 丽 "bella","guapa").[1]
Es una estudiante de Wu-Shu/Kung-Fu, entrenada por su padre y por el maestro Gen desde que era muy pequeña, por lo que ha combinado algunos movimientos de Tai Chi en su técnica de Kung Fu. Es considerada como la primera gran heroína de los videojuegos.
Cuando Chun-Li era muy pequeña (aproximadamente 5 años), su padre, quien era agente de la Interpol, desapareció en una misión que le fue encomendada. Desesperada, pidió ayuda a uno de los amigos más íntimos de su padre, Gen, que le había enseñado algunos de sus movimientos, y le dijo que su padre estaba investigando una organización de reciente aparición llamada Shadowlaw (En otros juegos el nombre de la organización es escrito como Shadaloo).
Siguiendo sus indicaciones, siguió los pasos de su padre y se convirtió en una de las mejores agentes de Interpol, con el objetivo de averiguar qué sucedió con su padre y de ser posible encontrarlo, si aún estaba con vida. Además, empezaría una relación amistosa con los hermanos Yun y Yang, que en ese entonces, eran unos niños.
Gracias a su inteligencia y a los datos recolectados, Chun-Li llegó hasta el líder de aquella organización: M. Bison, un personaje que poseía un poder impresionante. Chun-Li lucha contra Bison preguntándole sobre el paradero de su padre. En esta pelea, Bison la derrotó fácilmente.
Humillada, vio como Bison se alejaba de ella, dejándola con vida y advirtiéndole que la próxima vez la mataría tan deprisa como mató a su padre. Cuando se recuperó, Chun-Li estaba deseando poder vengar a su padre. Así que regresó a los cuarteles de la Interpol y no tardó en ser la encargada del área de terrorismo.
Durante este periodo, Chun-Li conocerá a Ryu, quien la impresionó con sus habilidades en combate. Poco después, Charlie, un oficial del ejército de los EE. UU., llegó a ella con una misión personal para llegar a la base de Shadawloo y destruir a Bison, por lo que Chun-Li le ofreció su ayuda sin dudarlo. En cuanto llegaron a Brasil, Chun-Li se encargó de poner las cargas explosivas en la base mientras Charlie y su amigo Guile iban a destruir el Psycho Drive, aunque Guile en un principio se opuso a la idea, porque había sido engañado por un superior corrompido por Shadowloo.
La base de Bison fue destruida, y Bison con ella. Pero Charlie murió durante la operación. Entre los restos de la base, Chun-Li encontró a Cammy, una chica que había sido creada y controlada por Bison y que ahora, gracias a Chun-Li se integró a la fuerza especial MI6 y trabaja como agente. También encuentra a Ryu, Ken y otros a los cuales consigue llevar a un hospital para que se recuperen de sus heridas. Pero Bison consiguió revivir, gracias a sus científicos, que le otorgaron un nuevo cuerpo, ya que su alma se había posesionado del cuerpo de Rose de manera temporal.
A los 3 años después, a Chun-Li le llegó una invitación del propio Bison a presentarse al torneo de Street Fighter. Chun-Li llamó a Guile y se presentaron en el torneo, dondé se encontró nuevamente con Ryu. En el torneo, Chun-Li será la guerrera que consiguió llegar hasta Bison, un Bison que ya no era el que fue, sus poderes habían mermado bastante debido a la pérdida de su máquina de energía psíquica y además Chun-Li era mucho más poderosa que en su primer enfrentamiento. De esta manera Chun-Li derrota a Bison y gana el segundo torneo de Street Fighter. Aunque no mató a Bison para conseguirlo, su venganza estaba consumada y no veía la necesidad de matarlo, aunque aún intentaría llevarlo ante la justicia, pero cuando iba a hacerlo Akuma apareció de la nada, y con su Shun-Goku-Satsu acabó con Bison. Chun-Li estaba ahora en paz consigo misma. Visita la tumba de su padre, diciéndole que ya podía descansar en paz, su muerte había sido vengada.
Tras la derrota de M.Bison, Chun-Li se retira de la Interpol y algunos años después fundó una escuela que enseñaba a los más pequeños el noble arte del Tai Chi/Kung Fu, y adoptó a una pequeña niña. Un día, se entera que esta pequeña ha sido secuestrada, por lo que comienza a investigar su paradero y descubre que el culpable ha sido la organización «Illuminatiun» que dirige Gill, el nuevo personaje que convocó el tercer torneo de Street Fighter. Para encontrar a su hija, Chun-Li entra al torneo junto con Ryu, Ken y el alumno de este: Sean. Además de reencontrarse con Yun y Yang y conocer a Alex, Chun-Li logró llegar hasta la base de Gill donde se encontró con Urien, el cual tenía un interés especial en ella debido a su gran potencial como guerrera (como el que tuvo M. Bison con Ryu y Gill con Alex). Urien (quien llama a Chun-Li "Las piernas legendarias que destruyeron a "esa Organización" [M. Bison y su cartel Shadowloo]") le dice que ellos tienen a la niña que busca, pero que sólo si le brinda un combate entretenido se la devuelve. Chun-Li combate con Urien y logra derrotarlo. Éste quedando impresionado con sus poderes, le indica que la chica se encuentra en los calabozos de sus cuarteles, así que Chun-Li entra y rescata a la pequeña que buscaba y al recién derrotado Alex, pero al intentar sacarlos a todos, se topará con el mismísimo Gill (el cual sintió su "Ki" durante la pelea con Urien). La pelea es dura siendo Chun-Li vapuleada en el enfrentamiento, pero esta vez el resultado es diferente al de las peleas que anteriormente había tenido Gill, con Alex y Akuma, debido a que Chun-Li tiene toda su fuerza y Gill había gastado gran parte de la suya en la utilización de la Resurrection, aunque logró por instantes tener su nivel normal. El resultado final es la victoria de Chun-Li sobre Gill, aunque la chica queda bastante herida.
Después de salir de la base de Urien y Gill, continuará haciéndose cargo de la pequeña niña. 6 meses después Chun-Li reflexiona sobre su vida y la niña que salvó, y decide continuar con el dojo donde les seguirá enseñando a niños huérfanos el verdadero significado de las artes marciales, su belleza, su estilo de combate y a usarlo por la justicia.
Después de retirarse, Chun-Li sigue con su vida capturando a criminales menores. Guile la visita y le informa sobre la posible resurrección de Shadaloo por lo que Chun-li se enfunda su antiguo traje y reingresa en la Interpol, formando equipo con Guile y Cammy para derribar SIN y descubrir lo que realmente sucedió a M. Bison. En el camino, se encuentra con Abel, quien solicita su ayuda para encontrar alguna pista sobre su pasado que parece estar relacionado de alguna manera con la organización Shadaloo. Durante el torneo, que también busca Gen, que también está participando, para obtener más respuestas sobre la muerte de su padre. Así mismo también se enfrenta a C. Viper quien está interrumpiendo constantemente sus investigaciones a la que vence. Finalmente consigue infiltrarse en los cuarteles S.I.N. y llega a una de sus terminales, sin embargo no se da cuenta de la presencia de Vega (quien había robado importantes datos del ordenador), quedando atrapada en la sala cuando Vega activa un dispositivo autodestrucción que libera previamente un gas tóxico. Antes de caer inconsciente consigue contactar con Guile. Chun-li es protegida por Gen de los escombros, y es finalmente rescatada por Guile y Abel,llevando la información suficiente que necesitaba de SIN, poco después se encuentra con la nueva agente de SIN: Juri Han, con la cual tiene un primer encuentro en el que Juri sale vencedora, Chun-Li es llevada al hospital por Cammy y Guile. Mientras esta en recuperación sigue trabajando obteniendo mas datos de SIN (que al parecer Crimson Viper le proporciona en secreto). Tras recuperarse, Chun-Li vuelve a encontrarse con Juri, esta vez el resultado es contrario al primero, Chun-Li vence a su rival, pero no es capaz de llevarla a prisión (Juri se le escapa). Pese a ello se siente satisfecha y, al reunirse con Guile, Chun-Li dice que ha decidido continuar su vida como agente de la Interpol (final de Chun-Li en SSF IV), hasta aquí llega por el momento el argumento de SSF IV.
Kikouken: Al parecer una variante del Hadouken de Ryu y Ken, Chun-Li concentra una bola de energía en sus manos y la lanza. En la primera edición de Street Fighter II, ella no poseía esta ataque, hasta la edición del juego llamada Street Fighter II: Turbo Hyper Fighting es donde lo ejecuta.
Hyakuretsukyaku: Chun-Li comienza a dar varias patadas de manera rápida en el oponente.
Spinning Bird Kick: Chun-Li se pone de cabeza y comienza a dar patadas giratorias.
Tenshokyaku: Habilidad de Chun-Li en los juegos de la saga Street Fighter Alpha, Chun-Li comienza a dar patadas giratorias de manera ascendente.
Shenenshu: Patada giratoria usada en Street Fighter Alpha, consiste en dar una maroma china y golpear al oponente con el efecto de un hacha.
Kikou-shou: Un Kikouken de mayores dimensiones, Chun-Li concentra el poder en sus manos para hacer una bola de energía mayor, a diferencia del Shinku Hadouken de Ryu, la bola de energía en Chun-Li se queda fija en sus manos.
Senretsu kyaku: Chun-Li da múltiples patadas rápidas al oponente, en Capcom vs SNK 2 y en Street Fighter III Chun-Li con sus 2 piernas da las patadas rápidas y al último da una muy fuerte.
Hazan Tenshokyaku: Técnica especial solamente de la saga Street Fighter Alpha, Chun-Li da múltiples patadas giratorias de manera ascendente, en Street Fighter III:Third Strike, todavía utiliza este poder, aunque aparece con el nombre de Tensei Ranka.
Shichisei Senkuu-Kyaku : Técnica usada únicamente en Marvel vs. Capcom y Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, es el poder que más animación tiene, ya que después de que Chun-Li te patea, la pantalla flashea y varios símbolos chinos aparecen en el fondo. provoca un considerable daño, solo necesita un nivel de energía. En el videojuego Power Stone también de Capcom, un personaje llamado Wang-Tang tiene un ataque parecido a este.
Housenka : ténica que utiliza en Street Fighter IV que consiste en dar varias patadas al enemigo, luego da una patada alta elevando al enemigo , depués se dispone a hacer un spining bird kick pero cuando esta en posición lanza un kikoken al piso que la levanta y da patadas giratorias rematando al enemigo por los aires dando una patada final que manda al enemigo al los suelos.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_IX
Neferkare Setepenre Ramesses IX (also written Ramses) (originally named Amon-her-khepshef Khaemwaset) (ruled 1129–1111 BC) was the eighth pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. He was the third longest serving king of this Dynasty after Ramesses III and Ramesses XI. He is now believed to have assumed the throne on I Akhet day 21 based on evidence presented by Jürgen von Beckerath in a 1984 GM article. According to Papyrus Turin 1932+1939, Ramesses IX enjoyed a reign of 18 years and 4 months and died in his 19th Year in the first month of Peret between day 17 and 27. His throne name, Neferkare Setepenre, means "Beautiful Is The Soul of Re, Chosen of Re." Ramesses IX is believed to be the son of Mentuherkhepeshef, a son of Ramesses III, since Mentuherkhopshef's wife, the lady Takhat bears the prominent title of King's Mother on the walls of tomb KV10, which she usurped and reused in the late 20th Dynasty; no other 20th Dynasty king is known to have had a mother with this name. Ramesses IX was, therefore, probably a grandson of Ramesses III.
His reign is best known for the year 16 and year 17 tomb robbery trials, recorded in the Abbott Papyrus, the Leopold II-Amherst Papyrus, Papyrus BM 10054 and on the recto of both Papyrus BM 10053 and Papyrus BM 10068. It has been suggested that the undated Papyrus Mayer B, dealing with the plundering of the tomb of Ramesses VI, may also stem from his reign but, so far, this remains conjecture.
During these trials it became clear that several royal and noble tombs in the Western Theban Necropolis had been robbed, including that of a 17th Dynasty king, Sobekemsaf II. Paser, Mayor of Eastern Thebes or Karnak, accused his subordinate Paweraa, the Mayor of West Thebes responsible for the safety of the necropolis, of being either culpable in this wave of robberies or negligent in his duties of protecting the Valley of the Kings from incursions by tomb robbers. Paweraa played a leading part in the vizierial commission set up to investigate, and, not surprisingly, it proved impossible for Paweraa to be officially charged with any crime due to the circumstantiality of the evidence. Paser disappeared from sight soon after the report was filed.
In the sixth year of his reign, he inscribed his titulature in the Lower Nubian town of Amara West. Most of his building works centre on the sun temple centre of Heliopolis in Lower Egypt where the most significant monumental works of his reign are located. However, he also decorated the wall to the north of the Seventh Pylon in the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak. Finally, his name has been found at the Dakhla Oasis in Western Egypt and Gezer at Canaan which may suggest a residual Egyptian influence in Asia; the majority of the New Kingdom Empire's possessions in Canaan and Syria had long been lost to the Sea Peoples by his reign. He is also known for having honoured his predecessors Ramesses II, Ramesses III and Ramesses VII. He also paid close attention to Lower Egypt and built a substantial monument at Heliopolis.
Ramesses IX is known to have had two sons: at Heliopolis, "a gateway was reinscribed with texts including the king's names and also those of the prince and High Priest Nebmaatre, who was fairly certainly his son." Ramesses IX's second son, Montuherkhopshef C, perhaps this king's intended heir, who did not live long enough to succeed his father, took over the former KV19 tomb of Sethirkhepsef B in the Valley of the Kings. The throne was instead assumed by Ramesses X whose precise relationship to Ramesses IX is unclear. Ramesses X might have been Ramesses IX's son, but this assumption remains unproven. Tomb KV19, which was one of the most beautifully decorated tombs in the royal valley, had been abandoned by Sethirkhepsef B when the latter assumed the throne as king Ramesses VIII and one of prince Montuherkhopshef's depictions there "bears the prenomen cartouche to Ramesses IX on its belt" thereby establishing the identity of this prince's father. The tomb of Ramesses IX, KV6, has been open since antiquity, as is evidenced by the presence of Roman and Greek graffiti on the tomb walls. It is quite long in the tradition of the 'syringe' tunnels of the later 19th and 20th Dynasties and lies directly opposite the tomb of Ramesses II in the Valley of the Kings; this fact may have influenced Ramesses IX's choice of location for his final resting place due to its proximity to this great Pharaoh. While Ramesses IX's chief queen is not precisely identified in surviving Egyptian inscriptions, she was most likely Baketwernel.
In 1881, the mummy of Ramesses IX (nr. 5209) was found in the Deir el-Bahri cache (DB320) within one of the two coffins of Neskhons—wife of the Theban High Priest Pinedjem II. This pharaoh's mummy was not apparently examined by Grafton Elliot Smith and not included in his 1912 catalogue of the Royal Mummies. When the mummy was unwrapped by Maspero, a bandage was found from a year 5, mentioning the lady Neskhons, most probably from the reign of king Siamun. A further strip of linen from a year 7 identified the mummy as "Ra Khaemwaset" which can be taken as a reference to either Ramesses Khaemwaset Meryamun (IX) or Ramesses Khaemwaset Meryamun Neterheqainu (XI). But since an ivory box of Neferkare Ramesses IX was found in the royal cache itself, and Ramesses XI was probably never buried at Thebes but rather in Lower Egypt, "the [royal] mummy is most likely to be that of Ramesses IX himself." It is estimated that the king was about 50 years old when he died (but it is extremely difficult to correctly establish the age of mummies) and his mummy was found to have broken limbs, a broken neck and damage to its nose, which is missing.
In April 2021 his mummy was moved from the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization along with those of 17 other kings and 4 queens in an event termed the Pharaohs' Golden Parade.
The novel Ancient Evenings by Norman Mailer is told from the perspective of characters living during the reign of Ramesses IX, including Ramesses IX himself. Most but not all of the novel takes place on one long evening in 1123 or 1122 BCE, during which the characters (including Ramesses IX) tell stories of the past. The majority of the book concerns the reign of Ramesses II, approximately 150 years before the night of the narrative; the Battle of Kadesh (1274 BCE) is in turn the central event of this sub-narrative.
In two weeks I am hoping the American people will send Donald Trump packing. His time in office has been a disaster for the nation.
A very poor loser
Come November
He will be
Of course
A very poor loser
A very bad sport
A big baby
Claiming foul
Voter fraud
And theft
Throwing tantrum
After tantrum
Whining
“They cheated!”
Whinging
“It’s rigged!”
And tossing his small hands in the air
He will look for sympathy
Play the victim
And make excuses
“It isn’t fair!”
He will protest
Filing lawsuits
Calling out the Marines
The Navy
The Air Force
And the Coast Guard
To save him from drowning
He will drag his heels
Cling to the Oval Office
Crying out hysterically
“They stole the election!”
Asking for recounts
A second chance
And a reprieve
Flailing about
Impotently
Alone in the big White House
With Melania long gone
Until finally
Wednesday
January 20th
2021
Comes
And he goes
Out the door
Fired
Exiled
Shamed
And culpable

Hermosa creación,
flor de seda y algodón
me seduces en la brisa
y te amo tan deprisa
que me siento muy culpable,
me siento como el viento
que queriendo acariciarte
lastima con su aliento
tu cuerpo frágil, inquieto
y lo esparce por el cielo
creando blancos remolinos
que tiñen mi mundo imaginario,
en el que muero solitario
en cada atardecer
por no poder ternerte,
Diente de león.
Naces prisionera
de un tallo que te aferra,
creces bajo el Sol
imitando su color
y a la noche
desprecias a la Luna,
quien batalla eterna jura
por robarle la única estrella
que jamás podrá tener.
Vives de la tierra
tu nodriza y carcelera.
Ruegas al destino
que incline sobre ti
a algún amante
que te haga regalo de su amor.
Diente de león
Envejeces,
en tu celda de barrotes verdes.
Renuncias,
a tu rubia cabellera,
y son ahora canas grises
a quienes usas de corona.
Poco a poco te liberas.
¡Por fin llega el amante!
que en un suspiro murmura,
"Concédeme un deseo Diente de león"
...y tú, al fin, feliz te elevas
a reunirte con el Sol,
Diente de león.

USS MANLEY DD74
(Caldwell Class, 1917)
The United States destroyer, USS Manley arrived in Queenstown (now Cobh) in the south of Ireland in December, 1917. Queenstown was the centre for anti-submarine forces, on the Western Approaches, under the command of Admiral Lewis Bayley, Commander in Chief , Coast of Ireland. The Manley soon commenced operations
Initially there was uncertainty as to the most effective use of destroyers. At first they were given patrol areas which they would scout, singly or in pairs. Any stray incoming merchantmen seen, were to be escorted to near their destinations. This was a most ineffective use of the force, as the chances of coming across, and destroying a lone submarine in the vastness of the Western Approaches was virtually nil.
By Summer 1917, under the urging of commanders such as Admiral Sims, Commander of US Naval Forces in Europe, the convoy system was initiated. Groups of merchantmen were escorted through the war zone by flanking destroyer screens. This had the dual effect of reducing the amount of targets for German u-boats, and allowing destroyers and sloops to attack the harassing submarines. The priorities of the destroyers were to:
Destroy Submarines.
Protect and escort Merchantmen.
Save the crews and passengers of torpedoed ships.
Anti-submarine patrols did continue also for the duration of the war, especially in the Irish Sea and close to the coast of France, where u-boats would try to sink merchantmen as the convoys dispersed. In 1918, any destroyer in the Irish Sea, which was not actively convoying, came under the orders of The Irish Sea Hunting Flotilla, under the command of Captain Gordon Campbell VC based in Holyhead, Wales. US destroyers were also used to patrol the west coast of Ireland to hunt suspected gun-running ships, for Irish Republicans.
The destroyers , initially, were ill-equipped to fight submerged submarines. When they arrived in Europe they were armed with guns and torpedoes. The only undersea weapons supplied were single hand-launched 50lb depth charges which were particularly ineffective. It was the later fitting of dual depth charge racks on the sterns of the ships, Thornycroft depth charge throwers, and Y shaped charge throwers that turned them into a dangerous force. These were capable of dropping and firing a continuous patterned barrage of 200lb, charges around a submarine's suspected position. Most of the retro-fitting of these armaments was done at Cammel Laird in Birkenhead, England.
On March 4th, 1918, Convoy HD 26, sailed from Dakar, West Africa, for the British Isles. The convoy consisted of 16 merchant ships, escorted by HMS Motagua (Captain L.L.Dundas RN), an Armed Merchant Cruiser. By the time the coast of England was near, the convoy had reduced to 10 ships plus the Motagua.
On the morning of the 19th of March, a mixed convoy escort of United States destroyers and British sloops approached the convoy. This escort consisted of USS Beale, USS Patterson,USS Terry, USS Manley, HMS Tamarisk, and HMS Bluebell.
The order was given to change course towards the Scillies, but before this could be complied with, the Manley (Commander Robert L.Berry USN) approached the Motagua.
She approached this vessel on the starboard side with the intention of throwing a heaving line to pass despatches. The Captain of the Motagua felt that the Manley was too close and signalled the Manley to gain distance. The Manley turned to starboard, but her stern connected with the stern of the Motagua.
One of the depth charges, held in a Thornycroft thrower on Manley was dislodged and exploded. This caused devastating damage to both ships, with the addition of a petrol fire on the Manley, caused by the piercing of gasoline drums on board. Further depth charges also exploded on the Manley, causing the after end of the ship to be totally destroyed.
The ships stopped and the convoy passed them. The aft guns on both ships were blown overboard. The Manley was completely unmanageable, but the Motagua was able to make way with difficulty, having lost her steering gear.
The sloop HMS Tamarisk made repeated efforts to tow Manley, but it was the tugs Cartmel and Blazer, that borught her to Queenstown on the 20th. The Motagua, flanked by HMS Bluebell. HMS Polyanthus joined escort until relieved by HMS Oriole. HMS Bluebell proceeded to Plymouth with wounded of USS Manley. Motagua made Plymouth the same day.
As was the custom, separate courts of enquiry were held , a Royal Navy one at Devonport and a US Navy one in Queenstown. In both the blame was laid at the Commander of USS Manley.
Casualties from USS Manley are brought ashore at Queenstown (Cobh) in Cork. Railway station in background
On the 18th of April 1918, a Court Martial was held on board USS Melville, in Queenstown. The finding of the court was that Commander Berry was found guilty of ‘Culpable Inefficiency in the Performance of Duty’.
Five members of the court, however recommended clemency on the grounds that small collisions of the nature of the one between the Motagua and Manley, were commonplace at this time. It was the cataclysm of the exploding depth charges, that turned an incident into a tragedy.
The court concurred, and Commander Berry was released from arrest and restored to duty.
Thirty three men were killed on USS Manley and 30 killed on the Motagua.

y mostrarte que yo moriría por ti.
Si una intérprete fueras entonces,
sentirías igual que yo siento
un amor tan extraño y tan dulce
que al no realizarse sería un infierno.
Asomá tu carita y no me hagas sufrir,
te lo pido por lo que más quieras, mi amor,
que al no verte sería capaz de morir,
de cariño, quizá, o de extraño dolor.
Los culpables han sido tus ojos

que me tienen igual que a un esclavo
y soy, si se quiere, tu fiel prisionero.

Els dos últims dies que vaig anar a pel mític RD em va passar el mateix, el Catalan es quedava parat a Figueres per culpa de qui veieu a la foto, que amb el seu retard acumulat afectava a l'intercanviador d'ample de la frontera que era incapaç de deixar pas al Catalan i després donar pas a aquest.

REMARK: The following is a transcription of a letter written by George Herbert Spooner on September 28, 1856, to his wife Mary M. (Thayer) Spooner in Petersham, Worcester County, Massachusetts, from Coffee Creek, Porter County, Indiana. The envelope in which this letter was contained can be viewed here.
Note that the letter refers to a railroad wreck that took place on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway during the evening of Saturday, September 27, 1856, very near the small village of Otis, LaPorte County, Indiana - the accident occurred just east of the LaPorte-Porter County line.
Coffee Creek Sept 28th 1856
Why have I not heard from you on this week. I fear for the ans. I have not had a letter from you dear one for an age it seems to me for I have looked anxiously for a letter. I have been down & suffered much since last Wednesday morning. I worked the Wednesday night & was taken with the billious fever & chill fever besides or something very like it. I was very sick through the night but I have gone to Bently & Will Bently made me stay all night & he gave me eight pills at one dose & then the next day some stuff called Wakefields Fever Specific & then at night I took some more pills & got better immediately only I was very weak from the effects of the pills. & Friday I was so weak that I could not sit up much of the day but the next morning I had a strong appetite & ate a good breakfast & about the middle of the fore I went to work but pretty weak. This was Saturday & I ate a big dinner & a bigger supper & felt as well as ever I did & got out to the door when some one said that there was a smash up on the R R a little way East. I looked over towards the R R & saw two of the men starting on a hand car for the scene of the disaster, two of us ran & headed them off & they [---?---] us to go down & four of us jumped on the hand car & went down there. There were two of the R R bosses & one hand & myself we proceed 8 miles & came to a scene of horror indeed. An engine & two carrs full of Irish laborers on the road & a long freight train of 40 carrs had run into each other & the carrs & engines were piled on top of one another & men and horses lay round dead & wounded & the cries of the wounded rang through the night air. I went through the car where the wounded were & there [were] 5 in there & one of them was dead with his head crushed. & the rest here died since some [of] them had there heads crushed & one had his head crushed & both legs broke & another had a hole through his back big enough to run my arm through. & I left that carr though that was not all of the horrors of that carr. I went down on the flats & there lay a man with his entrails turn out & lying on the ground dead & cold. I went to the other end of the train & there were several carrs of German Emigrants & many of them were injured but none killed. There was one man on his way to Chicago that got left by the passenger train & took the freight & was killed, though he lived til this morning (The accident was last night) he was from New York & was the only American killed. There are seven killed & two more that cannot live & great many wounded some [---?---] & some [---?---] that will not die. [---?---] [---?---] about 5½ in the afternoon & I started down there about 6½ & the night was very dark & [---?---] & the groans of the dying were awful. I took hold & helped carry off some of the wounded but the horrible sights that I had seen sickened me for a while but I got over it & then we went to work to get some of the goods out of the way & out of the ruins of the carrs that were piled up on the side of the embankment for the road was raised up about 15 or 20 feet above the surrounding land. We tore down the fence & thru the Road bosses & their men went to work rolling out bales & boxes of dry goods & they emptied several carrs & the fragments of the wreck [removed?] they burned [---?---] enough to keep a fire all night. There were 15 carrs crushed & broken to fragments & one new engine that that they were taking over the road that now lies down the bank with the wheels up. The other engines were crushed to fragments & Broken off the trucks. The carrs at the farther end of the train were not injured & many of the freight carrs were not. They were mostly loaded with horses & goods belonging to the emigrants. Six horses were killed. As I passed down the train I heard a horse kicking inside of a carr which was afterwards cut open & the horse leaped out & run down the bank & over the fence & off into the fields glad to escape. [---?---] scene of desolation I heard a dog whine & some one took a light & went & found the poor fellow alive & unhurt, but tied to a strop to a wagon wheel & [---?---] in the middle of the [---?---] par of it, the man cut the strop & away went the dog glad enough. About midnight I had seen enough horrors for one night & started back. It was all the way through the woods & not a horse or light between us and home but we did not mind that for we were some excited & yet thoughtful but silently we stept on the car & started home & as we bent to the handles of the machine that we propelled the car with each [---?---] with tremendous energy we swept along at an awful rate for a hand car. No one spoke, we could say nothing but [---?---] on through the woods & reached home in 20 minutes & it was 8 miles down there. I have been down there all the forenoon today & they had a larger gang of men [---?---] & now the track is all clear they have rolled the cars & fragments off on both sides of the track. I can wish no more of that [---?---]. But amid it all I thought of my Mary so you see how firmly you are bound to me darling. O how I longed to have you with me when I was sick, longed for your dear soft hand to put on my burning head though I had a kind & attentive nurse in young W. S. Bently who swore he’d cure me all up in a few days & sure enough he did. Says he you are safe here & shant let you go out if any [---?---] [---?---] you [---?---] getting well fast. He I a fine fellow at heart but like every body else west has western ways & habits which in the East we [---?---] make them call them a bad man because he swears & But he is good at heart. He is the one that helped me in [---?---] with Carrie [---?---].
I shall start for Minnesota in two weeks from tomorrow. I think I shall go to Winona a landing on the landing on the Miss[issippi] River in Minnesota.
I will write you more next Sunday if not before. Friday night I spent a shilling or 12 [?] one to hear one of those white negroes sing & dance.
Don’t be frightened about me darling for I am well & strong now & going to work if nothing happens tomorrow. O pet how I want to just touch my lips to your sweet [---?---].

George Herbert Spooner was born at Petersham, Worcester County, Massachusetts, on January 16, 1833, the son of Stevens Spooner and Mary Angela (Negus) Spooner. He married Mary M. Thayer at Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, on January 16, 1854. Mary was the daughter of Ephraim Thayer and Adah M. (Mathewson) Thayer and was born November 17, 1836, at Hartford County, Connecticut. Prior to 1860 George and Mary had moved to Clifton, Iroquois County, Illinois.
Mary died in 1874 in Clifton and is buried in Clifton Cemetery. George perished in a tragic accident. On December 29, 1876, George was a passenger on Train No. 5 of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway, which originated in Buffalo, New York, with a Chicago destination.
The train consisted of the locomotive, two baggage cars, two day passenger coaches, two express coaches, a drawing room car, three sleeper cars, and a smoker car. As the train and its 160 passengers crossed the Ashtabula River in Ohio, the iron bridge spanning the river collapsed sending the entire train into the waters below.
Oil lanterns and coal-fired heating stoves soon ignited the wooden railcars and many of the passengers perished in the fire. Other victims drowned under debris. Approximately 90 people were killed in the disaster, including George Herbert Spooner, who perished in the car named City of Buffalo. One newspaper column concerning the disaster mentions that George was traveling to California. The wreck ranks as the third deadliest rail disaster in U.S. history. At the time of his death, George was a resident of Petersham, Massachusetts.
Note that a woman named Clara Thayer from Springfield, Hampden County, Massachusetts, was also killed in the Ashtabula disaster. Clara may have been related to George's wife, Mary.
The University of Michigan's Clements Library maintains an archive referred to as the George and Mary Spooner Family Collection (1842-1882).
Two Coffee Creek post offices existed in Porter County and this letter was posted from the second post office. The first post office operated from Jesse Morgan's inn located along the south side of present day Porter Avenue in Chesterton, slightly east of Dickinson Road. It existed between 1835 and 1849, and when discontinued the mail was routed to the Calumet post office located at New City West (now referred to as the Tremont area northeast of Chesterton).
The second Coffee Creek post office operated from 1850 to 1870 and was located near the downtown area of present day Chesterton, Indiana. The community was renamed Chesterton on January 24, 1870.

The following is a transcription of a newspaper article specifically referring to this railroad wreck published September 30, 1856, in The Belvidere Standard:
SHOCKING RAILROAD CALAMITY.
EIGHT MEN KILLED.
TWENTY TO THIRTY WOUNDED.
TWENTY-FIVE CARS DEMOLISHED.
Culpability of the Engineer.
A frightful collision occurred on the Michigan Southern Railroad, Saturday evening, near the New Albany and Salem Railroad crossing, about eight miles from this side of Laporte, between a freight train and a construction train, by which eight men were killed outright and twenty to thirty badly wounded.
The facts as far as known are, that the construction train consisted of an engine and two caboose cars filled with laborers. It was about half-past six o'clock, and the engineer wished to reach Laporte as soon as possible. Hearing in some way that the freight train then due was behind time, he resolved to run for Laporte. The freight train was on time, however, and a terrific collision occurred, as the construction train was running at great speed.
The engineer and fireman of both trains jumped and escaped uninjured. The engineer of the construction trains, who was entirely to blame, fled to the woods and has not bee seen since. The two locomotives were smashed to fragments; the tender on the construction train was driven back thro' both the cars filled with laborers, making frightful havoc with human life. Eight men were killed on the spot and from twenty to thirty dreadfully mangled.
Twenty cars on the freight train were broken to pieces and three new locomotives in the train destined for the Rock Island road were demolished, which such force did the two came together. The wounded were conveyed to Laporte as soon as relief could reach them, but we are unable to gain further particulars at this time.

Father, can you hear me? How have I let you down? I curse the day that I was born, and all the sorrow in this world...
Let me take you to the herding ground, where all good men are trampled down, just to settle a bet that could not be won, between a prideful father and his son.
Well you guide me now for I can't see, a reason for this suffering and this long misery.
What if every living soul could be upright and strong? Well, then I do imagine there will be sorrow. Yeah, there will be sorrow. And there will be sorrow, no more.
When all soldiers lay their weapons down, or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns, or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves... Its easy to imagine there will be sorrow, no more.
Y vos... sí, VOS. Sos culpable?

Esta es una de las fotos que saqué el año pasado, para la obra de teatro que hicimos, Chicago (sí, el musical, y la peli también). Esta era para la "asesina" No-culpable. Creo que todavía me quedan varias por subir de esta sesión de fotos para la obra. Por ahí tengo muchas que no me convencían, hasta ahora. Como por ejemplo ésta, ahora le encontré algo de significado a esta foto, antes simplemente me parecía 'linda'. Ahora significa algo para mi y por este motivo decido compartirlo. Si no no lo haría, cosa que saben ustedes (por lo menos los que leyeron mi perfil).

Predatory Capitalism results when companies profit-making policies go unchecked by government regulations that serve to protect citizens from harmful money-making strategies. The lending practices that led to the economic crisis in 2008 is an example of Predatory Capitalism.
Why isn't the anger of laizzez-faire Tea Party members and other "hands-off" conservatives aimed at these corporations instead of just the government? Why is their culpability being dismissed and ignored? And, most importantly, if we can't count on the government to protect its citizens from these practices, who can we count on?
This poster focuses on one element of this issue, advocating for individuals to take responsibility for protecting themselves and their families from fiscal policies that may be dangerous to their own well-being.

The drivers are as culpable as the government and industry.
Smokers are as culpable as the tobacco companies.
Drug users as culpable as the pushers.
The real solution to global warming must address both sides, not just blame and forced action on the "polluting" industries. I find many climate change zealots want to maintain their comfortable level of consumption, their gas guzzling trips to the ski resorts, their over-sized home on the edge of nature. They reek with hypocrisy. It's somebody else's problem in their minds.

Colonia Hogar Ricardo Gutierrez
En Historias de Irregularidades y abandono, la autora Diana Rossi hace referencia a cómo surgió la modalidad de las Colonias como lugar para chicos judicializados. Con la ley 10.903, por primera vez se incorporaba el concepto de “protección integral del menor”. En su momento, el entonces senador J.A. Roca, único que interviniera en la sesión de la Cámara de Senadores que trató la ley, resaltaba el objeto perseguido por el Proyecto Agote (luego ley 10.903): “corregir los males que dimanan de la infancia, y de la infancia criminal, en todo el territorio de la Nación y, especialmente, en el de la Capital Federal.” Algunos hechos puntuales –la huelga de inquilinos de 1907 y los sucesos de 1919 en la fábrica de Pedro Vasena– favorecieron el tratamiento y aprobación de su proyecto legislativo. Por aquella época, los defensores de menores estaban encargados del destino de los niños y niñas calificados de vagos o delincuentes. La cárcel compartida con los adultos era el derrotero habitual, hasta que se les encontraba colocación en alguna familia. “En 1897 fueron colocadas por órdenes judiciales 767 jóvenes mujeres junto a criminales considerados culpables”, detalla la autora.
Las colonias-escuelas y las colonias-reformatorios ubicadas cerca de las ciudades o en pleno campo serán el tipo preferido de estas casas de prevención y reforma de los menores.
La colonia Marcos Paz, que devendrá a posteriori instituto “Gutiérrez”, resume en sus características las del modelo previsto en la legislación. Si bien ya existían los institutos correccionales cuando se creó en 1904, se adoptó para él el modelo de colonia agrícola tan difundido durante el siglo anterior en Estados Unidos.
El predio en el que se situó la Colonia había pertenecido al general Francisco Bosch, cuya viuda, Laura Sáenz Valiente, vendió al ministerio de Menores. El decreto que aprueba la compra en noviembre de 1903 dispone en su art. 1º: “que la propiedad de que se trata reúne las condiciones necesarias para implantar en ella un instituto destinado a la instrucción práctica de la ganadería, agricultura y de la industria, en el cual puedan instruirse los menores que por falta de padre y de hogar o por sus malas inclinaciones necesitan de la protección del Gobierno o de una dirección especial que les inculque hábitos de trabajo y corrija su deficiencia…”

In Histories of Irregularities and abandonment, the author Diana Rossi makes reference to how the modality of the Colonies arose as a place for judicialized children. With Law 10,903, the concept of "integral protection of the minor" was incorporated for the first time. At the time, the then senator J.A. Roca, the only one to intervene in the session of the Senate that dealt with the law, highlighted the object pursued by the Agote Project (later law 10,903): "correct the evils that arise from childhood, and from criminal childhood, in all the territory of the Nation and, especially, that of the Federal Capital. "Some specific events - the strike of tenants of 1907 and the events of 1919 in the factory of Pedro Vasena - favored the treatment and approval of their legislative project. At that time, the defenders of minors were in charge of the destiny of the boys and girls described as lazy or delinquent. The jail shared with the adults was the usual course, until they were placed in a family. "In 1897, 767 young women were placed by judicial orders together with criminals considered guilty," says the author.
The colonies-schools and the colonies-reformatories located near the cities or in the countryside will be the preferred type of these houses of prevention and reform of minors.
The Marcos Paz colony, which will become a posteriori "Gutiérrez" institute, summarizes in its characteristics those of the model foreseen in the legislation. Although the correctional institutes already existed when it was created in 1904, the model of agricultural colony so widespread during the previous century in the United States was adopted for him.
The estate in which the Colony was located belonged to General Francisco Bosch, whose widow, Laura Saenz Valiente, sold to the Ministry of Minors. The decree approving the purchase in November 1903 provides in its art. 1º: "that the property in question meets the necessary conditions to establish in it an institute for the practical instruction of livestock, agriculture and industry, in which minors can be instructed because of lack of father and home or because of their bad inclinations they need the protection of the Government or of a special direction that inculcates work habits and corrects their deficiency ...

On the morning of 8 September 1923, Destroyer Squadron 11 cleared San Francisco on a high-speed run to San Diego. That evening, as the column of fourteen destroyers closed the entrance to the Santa Barbara Channel in a heavy following sea, flagship Delphy led the formation in a premature course change to port. Minutes later, after entering a fog bank that concealed the coast, she stranded at 20 knots on rocky Point Pedernales (locally known as “Honda,” about two miles north of Point Arguello on the grounds of today’s Vandenberg Air Force Base). She was followed in close order by S. P. Lee, Young, Woodbury, Nicholas, Fuller and Chauncey; Farragut, Somers and Kennedy also touched bottom before backing clear.
Lockwood and Adamson, Tragedy at Honda.
Three shipmates died in the loss of Delphy; twenty in Young, which rolled to starboard before she could be abandoned. Others came ashore that night or the following day, when they were treated by doctors from nearby Lompoc and taken out by the Southern Pacific Railroad, whose tracks ran along the coast at the site.

Over the next days, wave action began breaking up the stranded ships, all of which were stricken from the Navy List on 20 November.
At a General Court Martial convened on 1 November, Squadron Commander Captain Edward H. Watson and Delphy’s CO LCdr. Donald T. Hunter were found guilty of culpable inefficiency and negligence. Nicholas’s LCdr. Roesch, was also found guilty of negligence but the verdict against him was later set aside.
Twenty-three officers and men were recommended for citations by a Board of Inquiry. Many more were recommended by Rear Admiral S. E. W. Kittelle, ComDesRons, and while the court martial verdict cost Captain Watson any chance of future promotion, his energetic leadership of rescue operations, acceptance of command responsibility and display of personal character became widely known and admired in and outside the Navy.
In 1925, the US Lighthouse Service established a radio beacon at Point Arguello and increased the candlepower of the light there to 900,000 (later 1.3 million).
Visit the Point Honda Memorial web site for a timeline, analysis and historical research, including discussion of an earthquake off Japan a week before the disaster and the possibility of unusual currents near Point Honda.
Today, web mapping applications identify the site as “destroyer rock” and although its cliffs are off limits due to erosion from the surf, there is a memorial above that once held an anchor recovered from Chauncey and still includes a pair of weathered plaques. Below lie some of Chauncey’s remains.
Easier to find is Delphy’s mangled starboard screw, which in 1983 was placed on display outside the Veterans Memorial Building in Lompoc.
Niña de Verde
Pues que el primer fin de semana del año, y ya la primera salida de Jessica a bailar.
Que como, pues que este fin de semana asi muy lejos no podia viajar puesto que como los dos fines de semana habia ido a casa de la familia, para las fechas de festejo navideño-año-nuevo. Pues tenia que estar aqui en la isla o cerca.
Entonces mi amiga Karitina de Villahermosa que me dice, "Jessica, haber cuando vienes de nuevo por aca para salir a la disco", y yo pues claro que ni lo pense dos veces, y pues ahi hice mi plan para ir por alla.
Ya fui por alla a Villahermosa, que se ve ya se esta recuperando de la inundacion que hubo hace poco.
Por la nochecita me fui a su casa y me cambie ahi. Elegi ser la niña de color verde.
De ahi, a pedir taxi pues esta vez no lleve coche, y a bailar, y pues buena noche divertida.
Ahi bailando me paso algo, que estaba yo ahi muy feliz, cuando de repente, que siento una mano sobre una de mis pompitas, y dicha mano entonces que se cierra apretando. Rapidamente entre que voltee y que movi el brazo, pero pues para cuando, el culpable ya habia retirado la mano y ni como saber quien fue. Si que coraje, osea como que andan agarrando sin permiso.
El resto de la noche paso sin mayor problema, bailar un rato mas, luego sentarnos un rato a platicar.
Al regreso mi amiga me dijo "esperamos taxi o caminamos, al fin son poquitas cuadras" y pues ahi nos hechamos la caminadita hasta su casa.
Y asi, a cambiarse de regreso, irse al hotel y descansar para el viaje de regreso al dia siguiente.
Bueno, asi fue la primera salida del 2008.
Kisses
Jessica
Girl in green
The first weekend of the year, and Jessica is already out dancing.
What you say, well this weekend was to be staying here on the island actually or not travel to far, since the previous two I had gone far to family house for the x,as-year-end festivities. So I was to be on the island or around.
Then mi friend Karitina from Villahermosa tells me "Hey Jessica, when are you coming here again to go dancing", and me thinks quickly, lets do plan to go there this saturday.
So I went to Villahermosa, that looks like is really coming back well after the flood a few months ago. Good to see that.
By night I arrived at my friend house, changed outfits there, I choose to go that night as the girl in all green.
From there, call a cab since this time i didn't took the car, and to dance, a fun night dancing.
While dancing something happened, I was there all happy dancing, when I felt a hand in my behind, and then tha hand proceed to squeeze my buttock. I quickly tried to look back while moving my hand towards the area, but by the moment I was looking the culprit had already moved his hand away, and none of the many people over there looked suspicious. Angry feelings, for how someone dares to do something like that without my permission.
Rest of the night went on good, dance, then sit down and chat a bit.
On the way back, my friend told me "do we wait for a taxi, or do we walk, its only a few blocks", and so we went back by walking.
To change back, ride to hotel, and to sleep trying to rest for the travel back the next day.
And so it was the first dance out of 2008.
Kisses
Jessica
Here are some tutorials...
Aquest va ser un dels meus primers experiments amb el GIMP, i el primer en el que vaig fer servir textures.
Potser és massa tard, però m'agradaria mencionar un parell de galeries que podríem dir són les "culpables" que m'agafessin ganes de provar això de les textures.
Gràcies!

This was one of my first experiments with GIMP, and the first one in which I tried using textures.
Maybe it's too late, but I would like to mention a pair of streams that I could say are 'guilty' of inspiring me on using textures.
Thanks!
A carón do encoro, preto da túa esquiva presenza. A memoria esquecida dos destinos que non se han atopar.
E son eu o único culpable, e son eu quen por unha vez non chegou a tempo.
Non acabo de saber se é desexo ou condena cada vez que te lembro.

Margaretha Geertruida Zelle (Leeuwarden, Países Bajos; 7 de agosto de 1876-Vincennes, cerca de París, Francia; 15 de octubre de 1917), más conocida como Mata Hari (de matahari, que en idioma malayo significa ‘Sol’, literalmente ‘ojo del día’), fue una famosa bailarina, cortesana y espía neerlandesa.
Con sus danzas brahmánicas y orientales triunfó en Europa. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, realizó labores de espionaje a favor de Alemania, por lo que fue detenida por las fuerzas francesas, declarada culpable de espionaje, traición y condenada a muerte.
Fue ejecutada por un pelotón de fusilamiento de 12 soldados franceses justo antes del amanecer del 15 de octubre de 1917 en la Fortaleza de Vincennes. Tenía 41 años. Según un relato del testigo presencial el periodista británico Henry Wales, Mata Hari rechazó llevar la venda en los ojos y de ser atada al poste. En un último gesto, lanzó un beso al pelotón de fusilamiento.
Wales registró su muerte, diciendo que después de que la ráfaga de disparos sonó, "lenta, inerte, se acomodó de rodillas, con la cabeza siempre en alto, y sin el menor cambio de expresión en su rostro. Por una fracción de segundo pareció tambalearse allí, de rodillas, mirando directamente a los que le habían quitado la vida. Luego cayó hacia atrás, doblando la cintura, con las piernas dobladas debajo de ella". Un suboficial se acercó a su cuerpo, sacó su revólver y le disparó en la cabeza para asegurarse de que estaba muerta.
Margaretha Geertruida Zelle (Leeuwarden, Netherlands; August 7, 1876-Vincennes, near Paris, France; October 15, 1917), better known as Mata Hari (from matahari, which means "sun" in Malay, literally "eye of the day"), was a famous Dutch dancer, courtesan, and spy.
She triumphed in Europe with her Brahmanic and Oriental dances. During World War I, she spied for Germany and was arrested by French forces, convicted of espionage and treason, and sentenced to death.
She was executed by a firing squad of 12 French soldiers in the fortress of Vincennes just before dawn on October 15, 1917. She was 41 years old. According to an eyewitness account by British journalist Henry Wales, Mata Hari refused to be blindfolded and tied to the post. In a final gesture, she blew a kiss to the firing squad.
Wales recorded her death, saying that after the volley of shots rang out, "slowly, inertly, she sank to her knees, her head always held high, and without the slightest change of expression on her face. For a fraction of a second she seemed to stagger there, on her knees, looking directly at those who had taken her life. Then she fell backward, bent at the waist, her legs folded under her. A sergeant approached her body, drew his revolver and shot her in the head to make sure she was dead.

A very poor loser
Come November
He will be
Of course
A very poor loser
A very bad sport
A big baby
Claiming foul
Voter fraud
And theft
Throwing tantrum
After tantrum
Whining
“They cheated!”
Whinging
“It’s rigged!”
And tossing his small hands in the air
He will look for sympathy
Play the victim
And make excuses
“It isn’t fair!”
He will protest
Filing lawsuits
Calling out the Marines
The Navy
The Air Force
And the Coast Guard
To save him from drowning
He will drag his heels
Cling to the Oval Office
Crying out hysterically
“They stole the election!”
Asking for recounts
A second chance
And a reprieve
Flailing about
Impotently
Alone in the big White House
With Melania long gone
Until finally
Wednesday
January 20th
2021
Comes
And he goes
Out the door
Fired
Exiled
Shamed
And culpable
