Villa Moll
Tal como en el caso de Las Marianas, que la venta de tierras a la empresa ferroviaria Compañía General de Ferrocarril en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, precedió a la traza y loteo del pueblo, surge Moll, primero como proyecto de estación ferroviaria e inmediato desarrollo del pueblo.
Las tierras de la estación Moll fueron donadas por el matrimonio compuesto por doña Manuela Moll de Pardo y don Acacio Pardo, quienes materializan la transferencia de titularidad por escritura firmada en la ciudad de La Plata el 31 de enero de 1908 ante el escribano Alberto Haedo. Las tierras donadas para la constitución definitiva del pueblo era de una extensión estaba compuesta de dos fracciones: una de 96 hectáreas, de las cuales 68 hectáreas fueron destinadas al trazado del ejido de 40 manzanas y parcelas; 16 hectáreas fueron destinadas a calles y avenidas públicas y las 14 hectáreas restantes fueron reservadas con destino a las tierras ferroviarias; la otra fracción, de 43,95 hectáreas para tierras de traza de vías.
La pujante localidad de Villa Moll, está establecida en una zona de altas y productivas tierras navarrenses. Hoy residen en ella algo más de seiscientos habitantes, y su economía se basa en lo que producen sus campos a lo que se suman pequeñas empresas (fabricas de productos lácteos, acopio de cereales). La composición de sus suelos los hacen óptimos para la explotación agrícola y en ellos se cultivan con excelentes resultados maíz, trigo, girasol y soja. Asimismo la producción ganadera es protagonista en la zona, destacándose la cría de ganado bovino.

Villa Moll
As in the case of Las Marianas, that the sale of land to the railway company Compañía General de Ferrocarril in the Province of Buenos Aires, preceded the layout and subdivision of the town, Moll emerges, first as a railway station project and immediately developed from town.
The lands of the Moll station were donated by the couple composed of Mrs. Manuela Moll de Pardo and Mr. Acacio Pardo, who materialized the transfer of title by deed signed in the city of La Plata on January 31, 1908 before the notary Alberto Haedo. The land donated for the definitive constitution of the town was of an extension was composed of two fractions: one of 96 hectares, of which 68 hectares were destined to the layout of the ejido of 40 manzanas and plots; 16 hectares were allocated to streets and public avenues and the remaining 14 hectares were reserved for the railway lands; the other fraction, of 43.95 hectares for traces of track.
The thriving town of Villa Moll, is established in an area of high and productive Navarrese land. Today, there are more than six hundred inhabitants living there, and its economy is based on what their fields produce, to which small companies are added (dairy factories, grain storage). The composition of their soils makes them optimal for agricultural exploitation and they are cultivated with excellent results corn, wheat, sunflower and soybean. Likewise, livestock production is the protagonist in the area, especially cattle breeding.
The economy is based mainly on agriculture and pastoralism; the village is surrounded by orchards of olive trees that make a flourishing industry for the production of olive oil, fruit orchards (in particular orchards and citrus groves), and you will practice the rearing of goats and sheep. The presence of the archaeological remains of the Neolithic and the tomb of Carlo Levi make the country which is important from the point of view of tourism-cultural. In fact for the tracks are engraved passages from the book Christ Stopped at Eboli and residence and the places narrated in the book remained intact.
Erick was established in 1901 as an agricultural community on what would become the edge of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression of the 1930s.[6] It was located on the National Old Trails Road, one of the predecessors to the 1926 numbered US Highway system. Large segments of that road became part of U.S. Route 66.[ 1136
Heliangelus exortis
It was a very dark afternoon at Guango. The skies opened several times as we wandered the grounds by ourselves. The Ecuador we visited this time was very different from pre-Covid Ecuador - we very often were the only visitors to many amazing and in the past crowded birding hot spots. Tourism was destroyed in 2020 and has not recovered - it was the fourth largest sector of the national economy (number one is oil). We heard the same story everywhere - zero income for three years. No assistance. Folks in South America generally don’t save money either, as the hard lesson of currency devaluation has been learned: money saved will become worthless. Truly hard times for nearly everyone, and it ain’t over. It was good to be a tourist and do our part for the recovery.

Hartz IV (officially called Arbeitslosengeld II until 2023) was Germany’s basic unemployment benefit for long‑term unemployed people. It provided a low fixed monthly payment plus housing costs for people who had no job or very little income. The system was known for strict rules and sanctions if recipients did not actively look for work.
In 2023, Hartz IV was replaced by the Bürgergeld, but the term “Hartz IV” is still widely used and strongly associated with poverty, unemployment, and social stigma in Germany.
If a political campaign poster promising a “strong economy” simply says “Hartz 4,” it is likely meant satirically or critically. The message could imply:
• The promised “strong economy” would actually lead to unemployment and poverty.
• The party’s economic policies might increase the number of people needing welfare.
• Or it mocks the idea that the only result of their policy would be more people dependent on state support.
So in satire, “Hartz 4” can symbolize economic failure, social inequality, or a lack of real opportunities.

Museo Guggenheim, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
El Museo Guggenheim Bilbao (en euskera, Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa; en inglés, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao) es un museo de arte contemporáneo diseñado por el arquitecto canadiense Frank O. Gehry y localizado en la villa de Bilbao (País Vasco), España. Es uno de los museos vinculados en régimen de franquicia o colaboración con la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim. Fue inaugurado el 18 de octubre de 1997 por el rey Juan Carlos I de España.
Las negociaciones para la construcción del museo entre las autoridades públicas de la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco y los directivos de la Fundación Guggenheim comenzaron en febrero de 1991. El acuerdo se firmó a finales de ese año, seleccionándose el arquitecto y el emplazamiento del edificio a mediados de 1992. Desde su inauguración en 1997, el museo ha recibido una media superior al millón de visitantes anuales, causando un impacto extraordinario en la economía y la sociedad vasca, impulsando el turismo en la región y promoviendo la revitalización de múltiples espacios públicos y privados en la villa, además de mejorar la imagen de la ciudad. Todo este fenómeno, bautizado por los medios de comunicación como «efecto Guggenheim» o «efecto Bilbao», ha puesto de relieve la importancia del turismo cultural, y ha generado un efecto de emulación en otros países, con desiguales resultados.
La característica más llamativa del museo es el innovador edificio en el que se emplaza, constituido por formas curvilíneas y retorcidas, recubiertas de piedra caliza, cortinas de cristal y planchas de titanio. Cuenta con una superficie total de 24.000 m², de los cuales 10.540 m² están reservados para las exposiciones, distribuidos en 19 galerías, siendo el museo con más metros expositivos del Estado. Se ubica a orillas de la ría de Bilbao, en una zona denominada Abandoibarra, junto al puente de La Salve, que está rodeado por una torre hueca.
Tanto el edificio como su colección permanente pertenecen a las autoridades vascas. El 3 de diciembre de 2014 el patronato del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao aprobó renovar por otros 20 años la colaboración con la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York, suscrita en 1994 y cuya vigencia vencía el 31 de diciembre.
Diseñado por el gabinete de arquitectos de Frank Gehry, fue abierto al público en 1997 y alberga exposiciones de arte de obras pertenecientes a la fundación Guggenheim y exposiciones itinerantes. Muy pronto el edificio se reveló como uno de los más espectaculares edificios deconstructivistas. El diseño del museo y su construcción siguen el estilo y métodos de Frank Gehry. Como muchos de sus trabajos anteriores la estructura principal está radicalmente esculpida siguiendo contornos casi orgánicos. El museo afirma no contener una sola superficie plana en toda su estructura. Parte del edificio es cruzado por un puente elevado y el exterior está recubierto por placas de titanio y por una piedra caliza que fue muy difícil de encontrar (al final se logró encontrar en Huéscar, Granada) de un color similar a la que se utilizó para construir la Universidad de Deusto.
El edificio visto desde el río aparenta tener la forma de un barco rindiendo homenaje a la ciudad portuaria en la que se inscribe. Sus paneles brillantes se asemejan a las escamas de un pez recordándonos las influencias de formas orgánicas presentes en muchos de los trabajos de Gehry. Visto desde arriba, sin embargo, el edificio posee la forma de una flor. Para su diseño el equipo de Gehry utilizó intensamente simulaciones por ordenador de las estructuras necesarias para mantener el edificio, consiguiendo unas formas que hubieran sido imposibles de realizar unas pocas décadas antes.
Mientras que el museo domina las vistas de la zona desde el nivel del río, su aspecto desde el nivel superior de la calle es mucho más modesto por lo que no desentona con su entorno de edificios más tradicionales.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (in Basque, Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa; in English, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao) is a contemporary art museum designed by Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry and located in the town of Bilbao (Basque Country), Spain. It is one of the museums linked by franchise or collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. It was inaugurated on October 18, 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
The negotiations for the construction of the museum between the public authorities of the autonomous community of the Basque Country and the directors of the Guggenheim Foundation began in February 1991. The agreement was signed at the end of that year, selecting the architect and the location of the building mid-1992. Since its inauguration in 1997, the museum has received an average of more than a million visitors per year, causing an extraordinary impact on the Basque economy and society, boosting tourism in the region and promoting the revitalization of multiple public spaces and in the town, in addition to improving the image of the city. All this phenomenon, baptized by the media as the "Guggenheim effect" or "Bilbao effect", has highlighted the importance of cultural tourism, and has generated an effect of emulation in other countries, with uneven results.
The most striking feature of the museum is the innovative building in which it is located, made up of curvilinear and twisted shapes, covered in limestone, glass curtains and titanium plates. It has a total area of 24,000 m², of which 10,540 m² are reserved for exhibitions, distributed in 19 galleries, making it the museum with the most exhibition meters in the State. It is located on the banks of the Bilbao estuary, in an area called Abandoibarra, next to the La Salve bridge, which is surrounded by a hollow tower.
Both the building and its permanent collection belong to the Basque authorities. On December 3, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao approved renewing for another 20 years the collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation of New York, signed in 1994 and whose validity expired on December 31.
Designed by the firm of architects of Frank Gehry, it was opened to the public in 1997 and houses art exhibitions of works belonging to the Guggenheim Foundation and traveling exhibitions. Very soon the building was revealed as one of the most spectacular deconstructivist buildings. The design of the museum and its construction follow the style and methods of Frank Gehry. Like many of his earlier works the main structure is radically sculpted following almost organic contours. The museum claims not to contain a single flat surface in its entire structure. Part of the building is crossed by an elevated bridge and the exterior is covered by titanium plates and by a limestone that was very difficult to find (in the end it was found in Huéscar, Granada) of a similar color to the one used for build the University of Deusto.
Seen from the river, the building appears to have the shape of a ship, paying homage to the port city in which it is part. Its glossy panels resemble the scales of a fish, reminding us of the organic shape influences present in much of Gehry's work. Seen from above, however, the building has the shape of a flower. Gehry's team extensively used computer simulations of the structures needed to support the building for its design, achieving shapes that would have been impossible a few decades earlier.
While the museum commands views of the area from river level, its appearance from the upper street level is much more modest, fitting in with its setting of more traditional buildings.

On Refusal, Infiltration, and the Gift
Upon being invited to exhibit at Kunsthaus Bregenz in autumn 2025, the artist decided to withdraw their identity. Not as a retreat but as a method: an intentional refusal of the economies of authorship, legacy, and visibility.
While anonymity can be used as a tool for the dissemination of ideas without censorship or repercussions on a position of “dissent”; anonymity here questions the motivations of authorship and its subsequent economies. If there is no distinguishable entity or person(s) for the work to be ascribed to, then the impetus for creating the work must revise the mode of production, aesthetic sensibilities, and lines of inquiry related to previous work. What remains is an anti-capitalist proposition that infiltrates the infrastructure that identity offers in an art-historical and cultural landscape.
Installed on the museum’s top floor is a 7.2-by-7.2-meter modular house. Constructed from 249 pieces of aluminum and two panes of glass, it is fully inhabitable with sleeping quarters, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a retractable table. It connects directly to the museum’s electricity, water, and wastewater system, parasiting the building.
Parasitic architecture is the practice of attaching a new structure to an existing one. While benefitting from its host’s infrastructures, in Bregenz, the parasite and host enter into a symbiosis.
Visitors to the exhibition are invited to inhabit the space—to sit, lie down, use the bathroom. After the exhibition, it will continue to exist as a movable artists’ residence: a living, working structure built to be disassembled, moved, and reassembled elsewhere. It offers itself as a tool—unfinished by design—that is preserved through utility.
On the floors below, architectural skins echo the blueprint of the house above. These flexible membranes are designed to adapt the structure for different climates. A manual accompanies the house, with step-by-step instructions for its reassembly.
The dwelling cannot be bought, archived, or owned. It exists to be lived in, passed on, altered, repurposed. It resists the afterlife of art as a commodity, thereby undoing the logic that equates value with permanence or visibility with truth.
The house uses the exhibition’s financial resources to build itself. Privileging flexibility not as an aesthetic gesture but as a political stance, it adapts out of necessity: to climate, context, and use. It is architecture without fidelity—a form designed to outlive the systems it survives through.

On a late October morning, I got word that UP 1004, still sporting a majority of its SSW paint job, was on point of Union Pacific's Permanente Local, so I made a mad dash out to Campbell between classes to catch the train. My timing was impeccable, as the train showed up within 15 minutes of my arrival. I followed the train to Economy Lumber where it would drop off a loaded car before heading back to Warm Springs. For my favorite shot of the bunch, I busted out my tele lens and shot to the east from the Campbell light rail station. The scene was perfect with more autumn colors beginning to show their prominence and the mountains looming over the train in the background! I was stoked to get this shot, and just in time to get back and grab lunch before my next class!

The ECONOMY AMERICAN Is DANGER, BUSH CONVENES An EXTRAORDINARY SUMMIT To the WHITE HOUSE....
Good evening. This is an extraordinary period for America's economy. Over the past few weeks, many Americans have felt anxiety about their finances and their future. I understand their worry and their frustration. We've seen triple-digit swings in the stock market. Major financial institutions have teetered on the edge of collapse, and some have failed. As uncertainty has grown, many banks have restricted lending, credit markets have frozen, and families and businesses have found it harder to borrow money. We're in the midst of a serious financial crisis, and the federal government is responding with decisive action. We boosted confidence in money market mutual funds and acted to prevent major investors from intentionally driving down stocks for their own personal gain. Most importantly, my administration is working with Congress to address the root cause behind much of the instability in our markets. Financial assets related to home mortgages have lost value during the house decline, and the banks holding these assets have restricted credit. As a result, our entire economy is in danger. So I propose that the federal government reduce the risk posed by these troubled assets and supply urgently needed money so banks and other financial institutions can avoid collapse and resume lending. This rescue effort is not aimed at preserving any individual company or industry. It is aimed at preserving America's overall economy. It will help American consumers and businesses get credit to meet their daily needs and create jobs. And it will help send a signal to markets around the world that America's financial system is back on track. I know many Americans have questions tonight: How did we reach this point in our economy? How will the solution I propose work? And what does this mean for your financial future? These are good questions, and they deserve clear answers. First, how did our economy reach this point? Well, most economists agree that the problems we're witnessing today developed over a long period of time. For more than a decade, a massive amount of money flowed into the United States from investors abroad because our country is an attractive and secure place to do business. This large influx of money to U.S. banks and financial institutions, along with low interest rates, made it easier for Americans to get credit. These developments allowed more families to borrow money for cars, and homes, and college tuition, some for the first time. They allowed more entrepreneurs to get loans to start new businesses and create jobs. Unfortunately, there were also some serious negative consequences, particularly in the housing market. Easy credit, combined with the faulty assumption that home values would continue to rise, led to excesses and bad decisions. Many mortgage lenders approved loans for borrowers without carefully examining their ability to pay. Many borrowers took out loans larger than they could afford, assuming that they could sell or refinance their homes at a higher price later on. Optimism about housing values also led to a boom in home construction. Eventually, the number of new houses exceeded the number of people willing to buy them. And with supply exceeding demand, housing prices fell, and this created a problem. BUSH: Borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages, who had been planning to sell or refinance their homes at a higher price, were stuck with homes worth less than expected, along with mortgage payments they could not afford. As a result, many mortgage-holders began to default. These widespread defaults had effects far beyond the housing market. See, in today's mortgage industry, home loans are often packaged together and converted into financial products called mortgage-backed securities. These securities were sold to investors around the world. Many investors assumed these securities were trustworthy and asked few questions about their actual value. Two of the leading purchasers of mortgage-backed securities were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because these companies were chartered by Congress, many believed they were guaranteed by the federal government. This allowed them to borrow enormous sums of money, fuel the market for questionable investments, and put our financial system at risk. The decline in the housing market set off a domino effect across our economy. When home values declined, borrowers defaulted on their mortgages, and investors holding mortgage-backed securities began to incur serious losses. Before long, these securities became so unreliable that they were not being bought or sold. Investment banks, such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, found themselves saddled with large amounts of assets they could not sell. They ran out of money needed to meet their immediate obligations, and they faced imminent collapse. Other banks found themselves in severe financial trouble. These banks began holding on to their money, and lending dried up, and the gears of the American financial system began grinding to a halt. With the situation becoming more precarious by the day, I faced a choice, to step in with dramatic government action or to stand back and allow the irresponsible actions of some to undermine the financial security of all. I'm a strong believer in free enterprise, so my natural instinct is to oppose government intervention. I believe companies that make bad decisions should be allowed to go out of business. Under normal circumstances, I would have followed this course. But these are not normal circumstances. The market is not functioning properly. There has been a widespread loss of confidence, and major sectors of America's financial system are at risk of shutting down. The government's top economic experts warn that, without immediate action by Congress, America could slip into a financial panic and a distressing scenario would unfold. More banks could fail, including some in your community. The stock market would drop even more, which would reduce the value of your retirement account. The value of your home could plummet. Foreclosures would rise dramatically. And if you own a business or a farm, you would find it harder and more expensive to get credit. More businesses would close their doors, and millions of Americans could lose their jobs. Even if you have good credit history, it would be more difficult for you to get the loans you need to buy a car or send your children to college. And, ultimately, our country could experience a long and painful recession. Fellow citizens, we must not let this happen. I appreciate the work of leaders from both parties in both houses of Congress to address this problem and to make improvements to the proposal my administration sent to them. There is a spirit of cooperation between Democrats and Republicans and between Congress and this administration. In that spirit, I've invited Senators McCain and Obama to join congressional leaders of both parties at the White House tomorrow to help speed our discussions toward a bipartisan bill. I know that an economic rescue package will present a tough vote for many members of Congress. It is difficult to pass a bill that commits so much of the taxpayers' hard-earned money. I also understand the frustration of responsible Americans who pay their mortgages on time, file their tax returns every April 15th, and are reluctant to pay the cost of excesses on Wall Street. But given the situation we are facing, not passing a bill now would cost these Americans much more later. Many Americans are asking, how would a rescue plan work? After much discussion, there's now widespread agreement on the principles such a plan would include. It would remove the risk posed by the troubled assets, including mortgage-backed securities, now clogging the financial system. This would free banks to resume the flow of credit to American families and businesses. Any rescue plan should also be designed to ensure that taxpayers are protected. It should welcome the participation of financial institutions, large and small. It should make certain that failed executives do not receive a windfall from your tax dollars. BUSH: It should establish a bipartisan board to oversee the plan's implementation, and it should be enacted as soon as possible. In close consultation with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and SEC Chairman Chris Cox, I announced a plan on Friday. First, the plan is big enough to solve a serious problem. Under our proposal, the federal government would put up to $700 billion taxpayer dollars on the line to purchase troubled assets that are clogging the financial system. In the short term, this will free up banks to resume the flow of credit to American families and businesses, and this will help our economy grow. Second, as markets have lost confidence in mortgage-backed securities, their prices have dropped sharply, yet the value of many of these assets will likely be higher than their current price, because the vast majority of Americans will ultimately pay off their mortgages. The government is the one institution with the patience and resources to buy these assets at their current low prices and hold them until markets return to normal. And when that happens, money will flow back to the Treasury as these assets are sold, and we expect that much, if not all, of the tax dollars we invest will be paid back. The final question is, what does this mean for your economic future? Well, the primary steps -- purpose of the steps I've outlined tonight is to safeguard the financial security of American workers, and families, and small businesses. The federal government also continues to enforce laws and regulations protecting your money. The Treasury Department recently offered government insurance for money market mutual funds. And through the FDIC, every savings account, checking account, and certificate of deposit is insured by the federal government for up to $100,000. The FDIC has been in existence for 75 years, and no one has ever lost a penny on an insured deposit, and this will not change. Once this crisis is resolved, there will be time to update our financial regulatory structures. Our 21st-century global economy remains regulated largely by outdated 20th-century laws. Recently, we've seen how one company can grow so large that its failure jeopardizes the entire financial system. Earlier this year, Secretary Paulson proposed a blueprint that would modernize our financial regulations. For example, the Federal Reserve would be authorized to take a closer look at the operations of companies across the financial spectrum and ensure that their practices do not threaten overall financial stability. There are other good ideas, and members of Congress should consider them. As they do, they must ensure that efforts to regulate Wall Street do not end up hampering our economy's ability to grow. In the long run, Americans have good reason to be confident in our economic strength. Despite corrections in the marketplace and instances of abuse, democratic capitalism is the best system ever devised. It has unleashed the talents and the productivity and entrepreneurial spirit of our citizens. It has made this country the best place in the world to invest and do business. And it gives our economy the flexibility and resilience to absorb shocks, adjust, and bounce back. Our economy is facing a moment of great challenge, but we've overcome tough challenges before, and we will overcome this one. I know that Americans sometimes get discouraged by the tone in Washington and the seemingly endless partisan struggles, yet history has shown that, in times of real trial, elected officials rise to the occasion. And together we will show the world once again what kind of country America is: a nation that tackles problems head on, where leaders come together to meet great tests, and where people of every background can work hard, develop their talents, and realize their dreams. Thank you for listening. May God bless you.
