MEMORIAS DE ITURBIDE
Formé mi plan, conocido por el de Iguala, mío porque solo lo concebí, lo extendí, lo publiqué y lo
ejecuté; me propuse hacer independiente mi patria, porque éste era el voto general de los americanos
El Plan de Iguala garantizaba la religión que heredamos de nuestros mayores; a la casa reinante de
España proponía el único medio que le restaba para conservar aquellas dilatadas y ricas provincias; a los
mexicanos concedía la facultad de darse leyes y tener en su territorio el gobierno, a los españoles ofrecía
un asilo que no habrían despreciado si hubiesen tenido previsión. Aseguraba los derechos de igualdad, de
propiedad de libertad, cuyo conocimiento ya está al alcance de todos, y una vez adquirido, no hay quien no
haga cuanto está en su poder para conservarlos o reintegrarse de ellos. El Plan de Iguala destruía la odiosa
diferencia de castas, presentaba a todo extranjero la más segura y cómoda hospitalidad, dejaba expedito el
camino para llegar a obtener, conciliaba las opiniones razonables y oponía un valladar impenetrable a las
maquinaciones de los díscolos.
La ejecución tuvo el feliz resultado que me había propuesto: seis meses bastaron para desatar el apretado
nudo que ligaba a los dos mundos. Sin sangre, sin incendios, sin robos ni depredaciones, sin desgracia
y de una vez sin lloros y sin duelos, mi patria fue libre, transformada de colonia en grande imperio. Sólo
faltaba a la obra un perfil para estar también conforme a las costumbres admitidas; un tratado que agregasen
los diplomáticos al largo catálogo de ellos que ya tienen y que de ordinario sirven de testimonio de mala
fe de los hombres, pues no es raro que se quebranten cuando hay interés en hacerlo por la parte que tiene
la fuerza.

Fragmento de “Manifiesto al Mundo o sean apuntes para la historia”, publicado
por Iturbide en Londres en 1824, con el título “A statement of some of the principal
events in the public life of Agustin de Iturbide, written by himself”, que en el mismo año
tuvo una traducción al francés; en México solamente se conoció en español hasta 1827,
publicado por la Imprenta de la ex Inquisición a cargo de Manuel Ximeno.

Ler e Formar Leitores no século XXI – leitura e inclusão foi o tema do II Encontro de Bibliotecas Escolares do Alentejo, que decorreu, durante os dias 3 e 4 de julho, no auditório dos Serviços Comuns do Instituto Politécnico de Beja.
Este evento contou com a organização da Coordenação Interconcelhia da Rede de Bibliotecas Escolares, do Instituto Politécnico de Beja e da Câmara Municipal de Beja - Biblioteca Municipal de Beja José Saramago. Teve por objetivos analisar o contributo das bibliotecas e da formação leitora para o exercício de uma cidadania mais consciente, crítica e responsável, assim como evidenciar o papel educativo e formativo das bibliotecas e da leitura no contexto da organização, estratégias e objetivos curriculares das escolas e da melhoria das aprendizagens. Pretendeu igualmente refletir sobre as problemáticas associadas à função e responsabilidade social das bibliotecas, enquanto fatores de inclusão, igualdade e justiça social, além de perspetivar possibilidades e vias de desenvolvimento das bibliotecas e das políticas de leitura no sentido da sua atualização e adaptação aos desafios e exigências do presente.

Seit ihrer Eröffnung im Jahr 2004 bildet die Leica-Galerie Frankfurt einen wichtigen Bestandteil des Kulturprogramms des Rhein-Main-Gebiets und leistet einen Beitrag für eine Kommunikation über Fotografie und Kunst in Frankfurt. Bei den abwechslungsreichen und innovativen Ausstellungen, die in der Leica-Galerie Frankfurt stattfinden, werden nicht nur die Werke von national und international bekannten Fotografen dargeboten. Auch junge, viel versprechende Talente erhalten die Möglichkeit, ihre Werke auszustellen und gewinnen so in der Welt der Fotografie an Bekanntheit.
Die Rahn AG sieht sich „im Dienste der Kunst“ und bietet neben den Fotoausstellungen auch Seminare zum Umgang mit analogen und digitalen Kameras, Fotografie-Exkursionen und Kunst-Reisen für die Kunden an. Im Mittelpunkt der Reisen steht selbstverständlich die Fotografie und die Gäste können vom Fachwissen der mitreisenden Foto-Spezialisten profitieren. Ebenso finden zweimal im Jahr Photographica-Auktionen in der Leica-Galerie Frankfurt statt, bei denen neben fotographischer Kunst auch Sammler-Kameras versteigert werden.

Junior ROTC cadets from high schools throughout the Southeast form up for the closing ceremony of the American Legion Southeast Regional Finals at Garrett Coliseum, Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 3. More than 30 Junior ROTC units from high schools participated in the competition. Marine Corps cadets from North Forsthy High School, Ga., took first place overall.
The Bernese Alps form the centerpiece of this late summer view of Switzerland; Jungfrau (J—4158 m), Moench (M—4089 m), and Eiger (E—3970 m) are among the higher peaks of the Central Alps. North of the range is the city of Interlaken, flanked by the Thune See and Brienzer See (lakes); the long, straight-segmented valley of the Rhone lies to the south.
On the southern flank of the Jungfrau massif is the Aletsch glacier, meltwaters of which feed the upper Rhone; another source is the Rhone glacier at the eastern end of the valley. One estimate holds that roughly half the ice in glaciers of the European Alps has melted since 1850. U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers are clearly visible; some, such as that of the Rhone, have been modified by through-flowing rivers.
The Swiss Alps are elements of a great mountain system that was constructed as Africa and Eurasia collided, starting more than 90 million years ago. Ancient basement rocks (>325 million years old) of the Bernese Alps were uplifted, folded, and forced northward between ~29 and 10 million years ago.

La Malaisie, en forme longue la Fédération de Malaisie, en malais Malaysia, مليسيا, est un pays d'Asie du Sud-Est, constitué de la Malaisie péninsulaire ou Malaisie occidentale (péninsule Malaise) et de la Malaisie orientale (nord de Bornéo). Elle est située à environ 200 km au nord de l'équateur. Sa capitale est Kuala Lumpur et sa superficie est égale à 329 750 km2.
Le pays est composé de deux régions distinctes :
* La Malaisie occidentale ou Malaisie péninsulaire (au sud de la Thaïlande) est divisée du Nord au Sud par une longue chaîne montagneuse dont le point culminant se situe à 2189 m (Mont Tahan) et où subsistent de vastes zones forestières. La côte Ouest est marécageuse et plate, la côte Est est, au contraire, composée de longues plages de sable. Les cultures et plantations sont d'abord situées le long des plaines côtières. Le Nord du pays (Perlis et Kedah) est considéré comme le grenier à riz du pays.
* La Malaisie orientale est composée des territoires du Sarawak et du Sabah et située au Nord de l'Indonésie (Bornéo). Cette partie représente 15 % de la population sur 60 % du territoire. Elle est essentiellement composée de forêts tropicales humides et d'un relief assez élevé (mont Kinabalu, 4100 m).
La Malaisie partage ses frontières terrestres avec le Brunei (381 km), l'Indonésie (1178 km) et la Thaïlande (506 km), et dispose de 4675 km de côtes. Elle est également reliée à Singapour par deux ponts traversant le détroit de Johor.
L'utilisation du nom de « Malaisie » pour désigner la péninsule Malaise est récente. Ce nom est la francisation de Malaya dans l'expression « British Malaya » (Malaisie britannique) de laquelle les Anglais désignaient, à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, les territoires qu'ils contrôlaient sur la péninsule.
Jusqu'en 1912, le nom de « Fédération de Malaisie » ne s'appliquait qu'à l'entité créée en 1946-48 par les Britanniques et devenue indépendante en 1957, « l'Union malaise » (Malayan Union). Celle-ci regroupait, dans la péninsule Malaise, les États malais, qui avaient auparavant le statut de protectorats, et les Strait Settlements, c'est-à-dire les colonies de Malacca, Penang et Singapour.
Lorsque les territoires britanniques de Bornéo, Sabah (British North Borneo) et Sarawak deviennent indépendants en 1963 et acceptent de rejoindre la Malaisie, la nouvelle entité est baptisée du néologisme de « Malaysia ».
En français, « Malaisie » avait à l'origine un autre sens. En 1831, Jules Dumont d'Urville proposait à la Société de géographie de Paris une organisation de l'Océanie en quatre parties :
* la Polynésie (« les nombreuses îles »),
* la Mélanésie (« les îles noires »),
* la Micronésie (« les petites îles ») et
* la Malaisie.
Par ce dernier nom, Dumont d'Urville entendait une région regroupant l'Indonésie, la Malaisie et les Philippines actuelles. À l'époque en effet, on considérait que les habitants de cette région pouvaient être désignés par le terme englobant de « Malais ».
Au sens strict du terme, les Malais sont les populations qui parlent la langue malaise et qui habitent le littoral oriental de l'île de Sumatra, les îles Riau, la péninsule Malaise et le littoral de l'île de Bornéo.
Le traité de Londres de 1824 entre Anglais et Hollandais se traduira par un partage en deux de ce monde malais. On ne saurait donc identifier celui-ci à la seule Malaisie.
Pour éviter la confusion, on utilise le gentilé « malaisien » pour désigner ce qui relève de la Malaisie comme État, le mot « malais » désignant ce qui relève de la langue, de la culture, de l'ethnie, et couvrant donc un territoire plus vaste. Ainsi, l'expression « monde malais » au sens strict désigne l'aire géographique habitée par les Malais et décrite plus haut.
L'État du Pahang est le plus grand de la Malaisie péninsulaire avec 35964 km². Sa capitale est la ville de Kuantan, située sur la côte est de la mer de Chine méridionale.

Anish Kapoor in Pitzhanger Manor, optical tricks with mirrors and metal
Anish Kapoor
(March to August 2019)
Within the newly restored gallery, with its three circular skylights, Kapoor’s sculptures challenge our traditional notion of form and space by disorientating the viewer and transforming their surroundings.
These sculptures echo Soane’s complex use of mirrors and light and will enable visitors to Pitzhanger to see Soane’s architecture from a fresh perspective.
[Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery]
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.

I wrote a review for DJ Broadcast: www.djbroadcast.nl/features/featureitem_id=1975/DJB_Repor...
The blood splatter shows deep anger in one form or another, I like the color and the vibrancy of the picture, what I do not like is i could not get close enough with out major blur, I would change maybe making a bigger blood splatter on a bigger scale in order to get a much clearer picture, but it does add a nice affect to the photo of mystery.
El Alentejo es una región del centro-sur de Portugal. Literalmente, en portugués significa "más allá (alén) del Tajo(Tejo)". Comprende integralmente los distritos de Portalegre, Évora y Beja, y las mitades sur de los distritos de Setúbal y de Santarém. Limita al norte con la Región Centro y con la Región de Lisboa, al este con España, al sur con el Algarve y al oeste con el Océano Atlántico y la Región de Lisboa.
Formado por suelos ácidos, es una región ondulada con un clima mediterráneo más oceánico que la parte española colindante. Es aquí donde se crían la mayor parte de los alcornoques portugueses, en forma de dehesa. Portugal es el mayor productor mundial de corcho, con alrededor de un 70% de la producción. Ha sido la última región portuguesa en albergar al lince ibérico.
Sus costas están muy poco urbanizadas dado el fuerte viento que proviene del océano. Esto hace que formen sistemas dunares muy espectaculares, que probablemente son los mejor conservados de la península.

"A cascata das Aguieiras forma-se a partir da queda de água da ribeira homónima, que após percorrer Alvarenga cai vertiginosamente sobre as escarpas graníticas que ladeiam o Rio Paiva. O Alto do Pereiro (freguesia de Canelas) constitui um miradouro privilegiado para esta cascata, que é claramente condicionada pela fracturação ortogonal do maciço granítico, desconhecendo-se no entanto a existência de elementos estruturais associados ao granito que justifiquem o seu acentuado desnível. Além disso, este miradouro constitui um local de elevada beleza estética, pois daqui se vislumbra todo o vale de Alvarenga, com a Serra de Montemuro como cenário de fundo, destacando-se inequivocamente a majestosa cascata para o Rio Paiva.
O geossítio possui elevado interesse geomorfológico, o que lhe confere um potencial uso didáctico e turístico de âmbito regional. "
