In the United States, wealth is highly concentrated in a relatively few hands. As of 2007, the top 1% of households (the upper class) owned 34.6% of all privately held wealth, and the next 19% (the managerial, professional, and small business stratum) had 50.5%, which means that just 20% of the people owned a remarkable 85%, leaving only 15% of the wealth for the bottom 80% (wage and salary workers).

There's nothing wrong with being wealthy, but how you get there matters. In a fair and free society getting rich does not cause anyone's impoverishment. Historically, we have all benefited from an economy that rewards those who create the most value. . . . The danger of great wealth is that it buys great power, which can be used to take advantage of the poor and middle class. This is what has been happening more and more in recent years. Laws and regulations have been lobbied for and passed which allow the redistribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the wealthy.

Breaking Bad Seasons 1-3 DVD Box Set
Breaking Bad Season 3 DVD Box Set
One of several fascinating original series from cable's American Movie Channel, Breaking Bad was produced by Vince Gilligan of X-Files fame. Former Malcolm in the Middle regular Bryan Cranston starred as high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who at age 49 was told that he was suffering from terminal lung cancer--even though he'd never smoked a cigarette in his life. Unable to pay for his medical treatment or provide for the future financial security of his pregnant wife Skyler (Anna Gunn) and his son Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte), the latter a victim of cerebral palsy, Walter began moonlighting at a car wash. When this proved inadequate to make ends meet, Walter entered into a slighly unholy alliance with former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). Using Walter's chemical knowhow, the two partners set up a crystal meth lab, with Walter supplying and Jesse dealing. Now the unfortunate Mr. White found himself straddling two worlds, one legitimate, one definitely not. Adding to Walter's crown of thorns was the omnipresence of his brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris), a DEA agent who'd been trying to bust Jesse for several months--and who of course had to be kept completely in the dark as to Walter's new "sideline." Breaking Bad debuted on January 20, 2008.
MAAM = Museo dell’Altro e dell’Altrove di Metropoliz_città meticcia.
Da streetartattack.blogspot.it/2013/10/district-913-roma.html:
Nato nel 2012, al termine del cantiere cinematografico e d’arte “Space Metropoliz”, il MAAM è un progetto di Giorgio de Finis. Contro-dipositivo situazionista e relazionale, si pone accanto e in concorrenza con le grandi istituzioni museali italiane e della capitale (il MAXXI e il MACRO), facendo della sua perifericità, della sua totale assenza di fondi, della sua non asetticità (il MAAM è un museo abitato) il suo punto di forza. Avviando un nuovo virtuoso rapporto tra arte e città e tra arte e vita, il Metropoliz si sta dotando, grazie al MAAM, di una pelle preziosa e di una collezione che l’aiuteranno a proteggersi dalla minaccia sempre incombente dello sgombero coatto. Il MAAM si prefigge di trasformare l’intera fabbrica occupata in un oggetto e in un soggetto d’arte collettiva. Gli artisti sono invitati a dare il loro contributo gratuitamente, interagendo con lo spazio e con gli abitanti. E non si può dire che non lo stiano facendo.
Oltre i “relitti” di Space Metropoliz (il telescopio di Gian Maria Tosatti, i muri dipinti di Sten & Lex, Lucamaleonte, Mr. Klevra, Hogre, la bandiera di Paolo Assenza, l’orto lunare di Fabio Pennacchia, il grande razzo costruito dagli abitanti della fabbrica occupata con l’aiuto di Stalker), la Pinacoteca Domestica Diffusa, oltre venti opere di arte contemporanea collocate nelle case degli abitanti di Metropoliz e fotografata da Carlo Gianferro, la “Stanza dei Giochi” (intervento site specific per la ludoteca di Metropoliz ad opera di Veronica Montanino e Alice Pasquini), la “Cattedralehouse_room#2” (opere di Cristiano Petrucci, Gianni Asdrubali, Veronica Montanino), il 5 ottobre il MAAM presenterà le nuove acquisizioni e i lavori realizzati nel corso dell’estate.
Le due nuove stanze d’artista, “Windows M” di Maddalena Mauri e ”Where are the flowers gone” di Micaela Lattanzio. L’intervento murario, tutto in polvere di grafite, che Maddalena Mauri realizza per il nuovo spazio galleria di Metropoliz, moltiplica le finestre della grande stanza dove un tempo stagionavano i salami della Fiorucci, invitando il mondo ad entrare. Un auspicio, per la fabbrica occupata, che coincide con il programma di eventi settimanali del nuovo spazio espositivo, uno dei dispositivi che il MAAM ha deciso di attivare per aprire con regolarità il cancello del 913 al quartiere e alla città, riducendo l’effetto enclave che pregiudizio e necessità di difendersi dallo sgombero rischiano di innescare. La porta “a saloon” della galleria che propone un enorme cuore diviso in due è un’opera di Paolo Angelosanto. La stanza di Micaela Lattanzio è invece uno spazio intimo, un invito alla “meditazione”, un’oasi di pace per chi, come il Chaplin di “Tempi moderni”, si trova incastrato ogni giorno nei meccanismi della metropoli (i suoi fiori di carta, oltre seimila, si liberano dagli ingranaggi e volano via…). Un luogo, questa preziosa stanza “fiorita”, che sembra condividere lo spirito delle stanze de Les Nymphéas di Monet all’Orangerie.
“District 913” tira via il telo anche sulla nuova “piazza” realizzata da Massimo Di Giovanni con L.U.N.A. una enorme sfera di ferro e legno che l’artista incastra tra le travi di un tetto crollato, che lo stesso Di Giovanni ha restaurato e messo in sicurezza). L’opera ha voluto rendere un omaggio all’idea della migrazione esoplanetaria alla conquista della luna narrata dalla favola contemporanea “Space Metropoliz” e all’idea che, lavorando tutti insieme, l’Altrove lo si possa alla fine portare sulla Terra. Altre grandi sfere saranno disseminate nella fabbrica da EPVS, a rendere il percorso difficile e claustrofobico (EPVS_ Bubbling 4 you #913# by EPVS).
Molto rilevanti anche i nuovi interventi di street art realizzati a Metropoliz. Dal grande muro d’ingresso sulla via Prenstina, firmato Borondo, e realizzato in collaborazione con la 999 Contemporary, alla meridiana di Rub Kendy (.R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.), allo stencil di Lucamaleonte che riproduce, sulla facciata dell’ex-salumificio che guarda ai recenti scavi archeologici del lotto di fronte, il bassorilievo dei Musei Capitolini raffigurante la caccia al cinghiale. E ancora Alice Pasquini, Solo (con “Plan D, last level”), Diamond (con la porta “Welcome to Metropoliz”), Opiemme (“Questo muro ha un nuovo messaggio”). E ancora Giulio Vesprini, Gio Pistone, Cancelletto, omino71.
Tra le nuove opere acquisite dal MAAM segnaliamo quelle di Pablo Echaurren (“Suburbano disumano”), a cura di ARIA [rivista d’artista], Massimo Attardi (“Lang”, un omaggio all’autore di “Metropolis” che strizza l’occhio anche al gioco “facce di luna” di “Space Metropoliz”), Guendalina Salini (che ripropone in collezione permanente l’installazione “Dove comincia il lontano”), gli interventi murari di Marco Tamburro, Seboo Migone, Paolo Assenza, l’opera di Germano Serafini ”Composizione M”, quella di Michela de Mattei “Metropolitz. Pianoterra / piano, Terra” (a cura di Silvia Litardi), il lightbox di Salvatore Mauro “Pianeta dei Naufraghi”, i nuovi interventi di Santino Drago (”Sangue versato in mostra” e “Asilo politico”).

"La publicación del catálogo de Ávila se contrató por Real Orden de 19 de febrero de 1902 al taller de Artes Gráficas de los hermanos José María y Francisco Mateu, “casa o Taller Mateu” de Madrid, para cumplir el artículo 14 del Real Decreto de 14 de febrero de ese mismo año en el que se disponía la publicación del catálogo de cada provincia conforme se fueran informando positivamente por la comisión Mixta. Después de un largo proceso de desavenencias con el Ministerio de Instrucción Pública y Bellas Artes, sólo imprimieron tres fascículos por lo que por Real Orden de 20 de noviembre de 1913, publicada el 3 de diciembre, se rescindió definitivamente el contrato a los hermanos Mateu. El 12 de mayo de 1915 hay una nueva propuesta para su publicación, que tampoco tuvo éxito. Los originales se conservan completos."

Persecución Religiosa: Interrogatorio en clase
Era un día soleado, y en el aula resonó la voz alta de la docente china. Boqian y sus compañeros de clase escuchaban a la maestra con atención. De repente, se abrió la puerta y entró el subdirector de la sección educativa. Le susurró algo al maestro chino, luego el profesor chino dejó de dar una conferencia y se hizo a un lado. El subdirector tomó el puntero, golpeó dos veces en la pizarra y luego preguntó con voz severa: "¡Todos! ¿Hay algún creyente de Dios en tu familia"? Los estudiantes negaron con la cabeza y respondieron: "No". Boqian, que se estaba sentado en el medio de la tercera fila, comentó ligeramente, que sus padres eran creyentes en Dios. Recordó que su madre una vez le había dicho, "China es un estado autoritario sin libertad religiosa. El PCCh no permite que las personas adoren al Dios verdadero, sino que se resisten fanáticamente a Él y a Su obra. Los creyentes en China corren el peligro de ser arrestados en cualquier momento o lugar y sufrir la cruel persecución del PCCh". Boqian sabía que nunca les diría a los maestros que él y sus padres creían en Dios, de lo contrario las consecuencias serían inimaginables.
El subdirector parecía insatisfecho con las respuestas de los estudiantes, y luego sacó del bolsillo un reproductor MP5 negro, lo levantó y les dijo a los estudiantes: "¿Quién ha visto alguna vez a un jugador así? ¿De quién es la familia que tiene ese jugador"? Muchos estudiantes se miraron el uno al otro y no sabían qué tenía que ver el reproductor del MP5 con la investigación de si había algún creyente en sus familias. Pero Boqian sabía claramente en su corazón que los hermanos y hermanas de la iglesia, incluyendo a sus padres, solían usar este tipo de reproductor para leer la palabra de Dios, escuchar himnos y ver películas del evangelio, pero no se atrevió a decir una palabra. Temió que le daría algo a la maestra. Luego, el subdirector miró a cada estudiante y dijo con dureza: "Quien sea que hable es un buen estudiante y será citado. Si descubro que alguien sabía algo y no lo dice, será disciplinado y nunca podrá graduarse sin problemas". Después de escuchar eso, Boqian se sintió nervioso nuevamente. Una vez más, pensó en las palabras de su madre: "El gobierno del PCCh está lleno de astutos trucos. Instalan cámaras en las calles para monitorear a los creyentes; además, van de puerta en puerta realizando inspecciones para buscar a los creyentes a fin de verificar las tarjetas de residencia, y también utilizan unidades de trabajo y escuelas para investigar si hay algún creyente en la familia de alguien. Una vez que encuentran a un creyente de Dios, lo arrestarán y perseguirán, y sus incrédulos miembros de la familia se verán implicados y perderán sus trabajos, y sus hijos perderán las oportunidades de seguir estudiando. El gobierno del PCCh realiza investigaciones tan fanáticamente solo por el deseo delirante de capturar a todos los cristianos y establecer un país sin Dios en China". Boqian sabía que la razón por la que el líder de la escuela actuó de esa manera ese día fue porque ellos eran dirigidos por el PCCh. Para encontrar a los creyentes de Dios, obligaron a los estudiantes a hablar sobre si había creyentes en sus familias a través de engaños y amenazas. El PCCh fue de hecho demasiado insidioso y malvado. Pensando en eso, Boqian se dio cuenta de que el truco de Satanás se escondía detrás de este acontecimiento. Si él era tímido y temeroso, los maestros verían los agujeros, lo que pondría en peligro a su familia y a los hermanos y hermanas. Decidió que, en cualquier caso, no vendería a sus hermanos y hermanas, y mucho menos traicionaría a Dios, y que oraría a Dios y confiaría en Él para vencer la tentación repentina de Satanás.

Expo in the City est le premier magazine gratuit dédié aux expositions parisiennes ; l’occasion nous a été donnée de poser quelques questions à Fleur Baudon, directrice de la publication et Arnaud Chedal-Anglay, fondateur et rédacteur en chef du magazine.
Bonjour à tous les deux, racontez-nous l’idée de départ, sa concrétisation et parlez-nous de l’équipe !
L’idée de départ : rendre un peu « sexy » les expos, dépoussiérer tout ça. Créer un magazine urbain, sympathique, résolument moderne, qui donne envie de sortir pour aller voir une expo avec ses amis, son amour, ses parents ou ses enfants.
Un magazine convivial, qui se partage, tout comme ses bons plans.
Un magazine pratique qui tient dans la poche.
Un magazine gratuit, pour une vraie promotion de l’Art à Paris, sans clivage.
Pour la première fois, un classement des expos en ligne avec les envies et les attentes des parisiens. Pas d’expo ‘’beaux arts’’ ou ‘’ sciences et techniques’’, mais les expos à faire le soir après le boulot, les expos gratuites, celles à faire en amoureux ou en famille. Les expos pour frimer le lundi matin au bureau, ou pour occuper les beaux parents qui débarquent !
Expo in the City souhaite faire de chaque sortie expo un vrai bon moment, sympa et inoubliable. Pour cela, nous avons créé les premiers « duos expos », de bonnes petites adresses parisiennes avec les meilleures expositions. Cela permet de prolonger le plaisir de la sortie avec un petit brunch, un resto, un apéro, ou un jardin caché, une boutique insolite…
La concrétisation de cette idée a mis 2 ans, 2 ans pendant lesquels nous avons fait et refait des maquettes de magazines, en interrogeant des parisiens pour vraiment comprendre leurs attentes et leurs envies, et leur offrir le meilleur des expos, dans une version colorée et joyeuse.
L’équipe : Fleur et Arnaud, aidés par nos proches, amis, et familles. Nous avons créé une association qui a pour but de promouvoir l’Art à Paris, de manière accessible et sympa. Nous sommes des indépendants, loin des grands groupes de presse. Des idéalistes ? Des ‘’fous’’ peut-être ? Des passionnés évidemment !
En octobre de cette année, vous avez rassemblé des fonds sur le site de financement participatif KissKissBankBank, comment cela s’est-il passé ?
La démarche nous a permis de récolter 5 000 euros ! Cela nous a permis de nous lancer, en finançant l’impression du premier numéro, et une partie du site web. C’était fou de voir comme ce projet a pu mobiliser des soutiens, nous appuyant dans cette démarche audacieuse.
Présentez-nous la ligne éditoriale de Expo in the City, le positionnement du mag.
Expo in the City est un magazine bimestriel, format poche extrêmement qualitatif, 100 pages en couleur, distribué gratuitement à 20 000 exemplaires dans le cœur de Paris, aux métros, entrées des cinémas, théâtres et musées.
Le ‘’petit livre’’ des expos toujours sur soi !
Nous souhaitons toucher tous les gens passionnés par l’art, mais pas seulement ! L’idée est vraiment d’ouvrir l’art à tous, en faisant re-découvrir les expos de Paris et la richesse culturelle de la capitale, par un classement inédit des expos, pour que chacun puisse trouver l’expo qui lui ressemble, ou l’expo qui convient à chaque occasion.
Nous avons voulu créer le 1er magazine qui ne se jette pas, avec sa sélection d’expos, ses bons plans, ses actus, son format poche ultra-pratique. Nous avons créé un magazine pour chacun et pour tous.
Où peut-on trouver le magazine aujourd’hui ? Peut-on s’abonner ?
Tous les 2 mois, Expo in the City est distribué pendant 2 semaines dans le centre de Paris et en région Parisienne. Aux stations de Métro, dans les files de musées, de cinés, de théâtre, en 20 000 exemplaires. Expo in the City est aussi accessible sur le web www.expointhecity.com/, avec des actus inédites et complémentaires, et des avis d’internautes. Pour ceux qui souhaitent recevoir leur magazine chez eux, nous proposons une formule d’abonnement à 24 euros par an (magazine gratuit + frais de gestion et d’envois), offrant en plus un pass pour Pompidou.
Vous êtes également présent sur le web, pourquoi éditer un magazine papier et un site web ?
Pour nous les deux supports sont complémentaires. L’un se consulte en se feuilletant, dans le métro, dans son salon, dans un café, il se lit. Nous étions très attachés au support papier car nous aimons personnellement lire, et garder nos livres et guides pour les reconsulter à l’envi.
Le site internet est un support complémentaire qui nous permet de suivre l’actualité à la semaine, voire chaque jour. Nous donnons la parole à nos internautes pour nous donner leur avis sur les expos et aider les autres internautes à faire leur choix d’expos. Internet est très vivant, évolue chaque jour. Le magazine est une valeur sûre qui se garde sur soi.
Des projets de développement ? L’envie de décliner le magazine dans une autre ville ?
Nous avons plein d’idées de développement !
Notre premier souhait est de faire grandir Expo in the City, en restant libres et indépendants, ce qui est assez difficile car nos moyens ne sont pas ceux des grands groupes. Nous souhaitons étendre les services que nous proposons à nos lecteurs, toujours dans un esprit de convivialité, par exemple en créant une carte Club permettant d’inviter gratuitement une personne avec soi dans les musées, en organisant des soirées vernissages, des discussions sur des sujets d’expos... Tout en restant sur Paris, peut-être étendrons nous le magazine à la rentrée, a une version sur l’Art en général (musique, théâtre, cinéma, écriture…).
Merci et longue vie à Expo in the City !
www.decorobra.com/techos-verdes-decorativos-y-ecologicos....
Los techos verdes son techos con vegetación, plantas que viven en ellos. Podemos encontrar dos tipos de techos verdes, los intensivos y los extensivos. Para los primeros se necesita una capa de tierra de aproximadamente 30 centímetros y es necesario que la construcción tenga elementos estructurales muy fuertes para soportar el peso de estos techos ecológicos. Los techos verdes intensivos pueden tener una gran variedad de plantas y son muy atractivos pero generalmente requieren de mucho mantenimiento. Debido a esto, son menos comunes que los techos verdes extensivos.
Para los techos verdes extensivos sólo se necesita 7un capa de entre 5 y 10 centímetros de espesor pero es más limitada la variedad de plantas que pueden alojar. En los últimos 50 años han sido muy usados y desarrollados en Europa, y en los últimos tiempos han empezado a implementarse en Latinoamérica.
Los techos verdes tienen muchas ventajas. Principalmente protegen los techos de los rayos solares, los cuales suelen causar grietas en los materiales. Además mantienen el techo más fresco lo cual reduce el efecto de calentamiento, contribuyendo a que las ciudades no estén cada año más calientes. Como consecuencia reduce el consumo energético, ya que no será tan necesaria la utilización de electrodomésticos tales como aires acondicionados, etc.
Los techos verdes extensivos tienen una capa de semillas generalmente de pasto. Poseen plantas de poca raíz y no muy tolerantes al exceso de agua. Al presenta una capa de tierra muy fina, permite la propagación de plantas silvestres, ya que no pueden vivir en ese medio, en cierta forma, árido. Debajo de la capa de tierra se encuentran varias capas más. La primera es una capa de drenaje, la cual permite que el agua se mueva libremente fuera del techo, y por último, una capa de barrera que impide el paso del agua hacia el techo.
Desde el punto de vista de la estética, los techos verdes poseen un aspecto por demás agradable y natural, que brinda a las construcciones un aire natural y fresco. Si usted está pensando en poner un techo en su casa, le recomendamos hacer las averiguaciones previas, para saber si la estructura de su vivienda lo resistirá.

Ces procédés de préfabrication en usine selon le commentaire sont bien adaptés aux pays en voie de développement, cela est illustré dans le reportage par une réalisation en Libye à Benghazi. Dans la course à l'allégement des matériaux un procédé l'isola béton est présenté. Un chapitre sur la construction métallique explique les avantage de ce procédé. La fabrication de composants ouvre de nouvelles perspectives à l'industrie du bâtiment.

Ces procédés de préfabrication en usine selon le commentaire sont bien adaptés aux pays en voie de développement, cela est illustré dans le reportage par une réalisation en Libye à Benghazi. Dans la course à l'allégement des matériaux un procédé l'isola béton est présenté. Un chapitre sur la construction métallique explique les avantage de ce procédé. La fabrication de composants ouvre de nouvelles perspectives à l'industrie du bâtiment.

la construction des Autoroutes en France - Les liaisons moins dangereuses 1972 www.dailymotion.com/video/xxi0ae?playlist=x34ije - Ministère de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire - Dotation par la France d'autoroutes modernes "nécessité vitale" pour palier à l'inadaptation du réseau routier de l'époque voué à la paralysie : le reportage nous montre des images d'embouteillages. Le ministre de l'Équipement et de l'Aménagement du Territoire dans les deux gouvernements de Pierre Messmer, de 1972 à 1974, Olivier Guichard explique les ambitions du programme de construction qui doit atteindre 800 km par ans en 1978. L'ouverture de section nouvelles va bon train : Nancy / Metz par exemple. Le reportage nous montre l'intérieur des bureaux d'études qui conçoivent ces autoroute dont la conception est assistée par ordinateurs dont le projet d'ensemble en 3D est visualisé sur un écran. La voix off nous informe sur le financement de ces équipements. Puis on peut voir des images de la construction du pont sur la Seine à Saint Cloud reliant l'autoroute de Normandie au périphérique, de l'échangeur de Palaiseau sur 4 niveau : record d'Europe précise le commentaire. Le reportage nous informe que des sociétés d'économies mixtes ont étés crées pour les tronçons : Paris / Lille, Paris / Marseille, Paris / Normandie. Pour accélérer la construction l’État a eu recours à des concessions privées par exemple pour le tronçon Paris / Chartres. "Les autoroutes changent le visage de la France : artères économiques favorisant le développement industriel elles permettent de revitaliser des régions en perte de vitesse et de l'intégrer dans le mouvement général de l'expansion" Sur le plan européen elles vont combler le retard de la France et réaliser son insertion. Images de l'inauguration de l'autoroute entre Paris et Bruxelles par le président Georges Pompidou. Le reportage rappel que l'autre fonction capitale des autoroute est de favoriser la sécurité. La question de la limitation de vitesse est posée au ministre de l’Équipement, qui n'y est favorable que sur certains tronçons. Un des facteur de sécurité selon le commentaire est l'humanisation des autoroutes : aires de repos, restaurants, signalisation touristiques... "Rien n'est impossible aux techniques modernes" nous apprend la voix off qui prend comme exemple le déplacement sur rail de 65 mètres d'un château classé afin de faire passer l'autoroute Lille / Dunkerque.Durée : 4 minutes 30 secondes
Sur les routes de France les ponts renaissent 1945 reconstruction de la France après la Seconde Guerre mondiale www.dailymotion.com/video/xuxrii?playlist=x34ije , Quelques mois après la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un triste constat s'impose : 5 944 passages sont coupés, soit plus de 110 km de brèches ; de nombreuses villes se trouvent isolées.Les chantiers s'activent dans toute la France pour "gagner la bataille des communications routières". Mais outre la pénurie de main d’œuvre, il faut faire face au manque de matériaux (béton, métal) et donc déployer des trésors d'imagination pour reconstruire les ponts détruits. Si le savoir faire des tailleurs de pierre est exploité, le plus spectaculaire est le relevage des ponts, comme le pont de Galliéni à Lyon, où 7 à 800 tonnes d'acier sont sorti de l'eau avec des moyens de l'époque. En avril 1945, il reste 5 700 ponts à reconstruire soit 200 000 tonnes d'acier, 600 000 tonnes de ciment, 250 000 m3 de bois, 10 millions de journées d'ouvrier, prix de l'effort de reconstruction.1945

Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Peranema cuneatum tiene una forma de navegar elegante y marcha ligero bajo la superficie del agua, con su cuerpo esbelto rematado en punta, extendiendo su recto flagelo del que apenas mueve su extremo final, como indiferente a todo lo que sucede a su alrededor.
En poco se parece su actitud a la de su hermano Peranema trichophorum tan común en las aguas contaminadas y que a cada trecho se detiene para arrugarse, ensancharse y transformarse por unos momentos, para seguir después navegando como si nada hubiese pasado.
Peranema cuneatum no parece deformarse en su travesía acuática y a medida que avanza va recogiendo diminutas algas, bacterias y otros pequeños protozoos que atrapa en pequeños remolinos a pequeños bocados con esa boca casi invisible situada en la base de su flagelo.
Peranema es un primo pálido de Euglena , no depende como ella de la luz del sol para vivir, sino de todo lo que captura y palpa con su larga mano de hilo al caminar. Su elegante camisa transparente está adornada con unas finísimas estrías imperceptibles, como las que Euglena también suele vestir, pero Peranema no está relleno del fresco verde de la clorofila viva ni muestra la mancha roja de rubí con la que ella sigue al sol.
Peranema ha preferido buscar otro modo de vida y limpia el agua de los restos que otros van dejando devolviendo poco a poco su pureza.

Pelosi's provocative Taiwan visit sparks sharp criticism
Videos from around the world criticizing Pelosi's taunting visit to Taiwan, destablizing the region..
thehill.com/homenews/administration/3592512-biden-says-he...
Biden says he’s ‘not worried’ about China’s response to Pelosi visit to Taiwan
President Biden on Monday said he’s “not worried” about China’s aggressive response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) trip last week to Taiwan, adding that he doesn’t think things will escalate any further between the U.S. and Beijing.
“I’m not worried, but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are. But I don’t think they’re going to do anything more,” Biden told reporters.
When asked if Pelosi’s trip was a mistake, the president said, “That was her decision.”
The Biden administration has condemned Beijing’s live-fire drills in the waters surrounding Taiwan, which included multiple Chinese warships and aircraft crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait, following Pelosi’s visit.
“They are provocative, irresponsible, and raise the risk of miscalculation, that’s what the president was referring to,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Monday, referring to China’s response.
“They are also at odd with our longstanding goal of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan strait, which is what the world expects,” she added.
Pelosi’s visit to Taipei last week made her the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the island in 25 years. The Chinese foreign ministry characterized her visit as having a “severe impact on the political foundation of China-U.S. relations.”
Since she landed, the White House has said it respects Pelosi’s decision to visit Taiwan and has pushed back on questions about any drama between the Speaker’s office and the White House surrounding her trip.
Biden told reporters last month that the military “thinks it’s not a good idea” for Pelosi to visit Taiwan amid already rising tensions over the island’s status and the administration urging China not to back Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Before landing, White House national security spokesman John Kirby warned China against using the moment to create a “crisis” and then said on Tuesday that Beijing’s actions in response to her visit were “consistent with the playbook we expected them to run.”

One-China principle clearly violated by trip
It's natural for China to feel angry and oppose the recent visit to Taiwan by United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, because the trip openly violates the one-China principle and challenges China's territorial integrity and sovereignty, experts said while explaining China's reaction and the severe countermeasures it has taken.
It's clear that the two sides of the Taiwan Straits are the same country, and the Taiwan question, which is purely China's internal affair, brooks no interference by foreign forces, they said.
Traveling in a military aircraft, Pelosi－second in the line of succession to the US president－last week paid a high-profile "official visit to Taiwan", as her office described it in her arrival statement, and was given full protocol treatment by Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party authorities, which make no secret of pursuing "independence" in their party platform.
Pelosi's two-day trip included meeting with the island's leader Tsai Ing-wen and some "human rights" advocates, as well as visiting the island's "legislative "authority.
Hundreds of millions of Chinese watched, discussed and were outraged by the provocative trip that was also followed by unprecedented countermeasures by the Chinese government, including canceling three cooperative dialogues or meetings with the defense authorities of the US, suspending climate talks, and conducting live-fire drills surrounding the Taiwan island.
Bao Chengke, assistant director at the Institute for East Asian Studies in Shanghai, said that the visit has trampled on the one-China principle and China's national sovereignty, and was a move that in nature promoted the concept of "one China, one Taiwan".
To the Chinese side, the one-China principle is a bottom line that cannot be crossed. It has been reiterated numerous times by the Chinese government, and is firmly believed by the Chinese people, that the island of Taiwan has been an inseparable part of China's territory for 1,800 years and it's crystal clear that the two sides of the Straits belong to one China.
It was even worse that Pelosi turned a deaf ear to repeated warnings from the Chinese government and still made the trip, Bao said, adding that when something like this happens, it's reasonable for any country to feel angry and take severe countermeasures.
Lin Kuan-ting, a young man from Taiwan who is studying on the mainland, said he opposes the visit and the US should not interfere in the Taiwan question as the island has always been a part of China. Another Taiwan student on main-land, Lin Pei-ying, said the visit seriously hurt the feelings of compatriots on both sides of the Straits, and the contradictions between the two sides are purely our family matters.
Root of the Taiwan question
As Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, has said, the Taiwan question arose out of the weakness and chaos of the nation and will be resolved as national rejuvenation becomes a reality.
In 1894, Japan launched the First Sino-Japanese War to invade China. In the following year, the government of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) was forced to cede Taiwan to Japan under the unequal Treaty of Shimonoseki.
In 1945, the Chinese people won the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-1945). Taiwan was thus recovered and returned to the motherland.
In 1943, the leaders of China, the US and Britain issued the Cairo Declaration, which clearly states that all territories Japan stole from the Chinese, including Taiwan, shall be restored to China. The Potsdam Declaration of 1945 affirmed that the terms of the Cairo Declaration would be carried out. Thus, Taiwan's legal status as a part of China was irrefutably confirmed.
It was not long, however, before the two sides of the Straits fell into a special state of protracted political confrontation due to civil war in China and the interference of foreign forces.
In 1949, the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established, replacing the Republic of China government as the sole legal government representing the whole of China. It is logical for the government of the People's Republic of China to exercise sovereignty over China, which includes Taiwan.
In 1971, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority vote, restoring all rights of the PRC and recognizing the government of the PRC as the sole legitimate representative of China to the United Nations.
The one-China principle is a widely recognized basic norm of international relations. More than 180 countries have to date established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of their recognition of the one-China principle, according to official records.
When China and the US established diplomatic relations in 1979, the US recognized in the joint communique with China that the government of the PRC is the sole legal government of China. Since then, the US has long been committed to not developing official relations with Taiwan.
"The one-China principle is part of the postwar international order and has become a general international consensus. As a country that thinks of itself as a champion of the 'rules-based international order', the United States should naturally abide by the one-China principle," Chinese Ambassador to the US Qin Gang wrote in an article in The Washington Post on Thursday.
"President Biden has said many times that the United States will not change its one-China policy and does not support 'Taiwan independence'. But for the 'Taiwan independence' forces, Pelosi's visit represents an exceptionally strong signal that 'the US is on Taiwan's side'. This goes against the one-China principle, the three Sino-US joint communiques and America's own commitments," the article said.
Wu Yongping, director of the Institute of Taiwan Studies at Tsinghua University, said that US support for "Taiwan independence "separatists is a fundamental reason why the Taiwan question is so difficult to resolve.
The US has tried to obscure and hollow out the one-China principle, Wu said, adding that it has colluded with "Taiwan independence" forces on the island and elevated relations with the island in various ways, including arms sales.
After the DPP came to power in Taiwan, it refused to recognize the 1992 Consensus which embodies the one-China principle, creating an increasingly tense and confrontational atmosphere across the Straits, according to Bao from the Institute for East Asian Studies.
Common will
Despite the complex situation, experts believe that the two sides of the Straits must be reunified in the future, which is also the will of the entire Chinese nation.
The mainland has great patience in dealing with the Taiwan question, and it has been working to promote integrated development and cooperation between people across the Straits in order to gradually overcome the resentment and differences and find the path of future reunification, Bao said.
Wu said the mainland's ability to resolve the Taiwan question has been increasing as well, which could been seen in the recent countermeasures, and no other forces should underestimate such ability and China's determination to safeguard its sovereignty and unity.

1. detsember - Marsa Alam
The indigenous tribes of Wadi Al-Gemal and its surroundings. The Beja Tribe is one of the Red Sea mountains' main ethnicity as it reaches from southern Egypt into eastern Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea. It can be divided into four main tribes: Bisharin, Ababda, Hadendoa and Beni Amer. Only the first two inhabit Egyptian territories, mainly in the southern parts of the eastern desert. Ababda are the original dwellers of Wadi Al-Gemal, while Bisharins are inhabitants of the Jabel Elba region located in the southeastern most corner of Egypt. While both are nomadic pastorals, Ababda have abandoned their original tradition of livestock herding due to extended drought conditions that have forced them to live in areas closer to commercial urban centres. This in return has exposed them to a wider range of income generating alternatives. Though both tribes originally speak different dialects of an oral language called "To Bedawie" or Rotana as is commonly known, Ababda have deserted their mother tongue for Arabic.
Though Bisharins, inhabitants of the Jabal Elba region, also live in a drought prone area, their territory is actually part of Egypt's biggest national park -- Mountain Elba National Park -- in addition to being a politically disputed area between Egypt and Sudan. Both the remoteness of the area and the difficulties associated with reaching and entering it have both helped the Bisharins to maintain their pastoral nomadism and preserve their original culture and traditional way of living.

Delegate Ken Plum describes a visit to Sunrise Valley Park as a "mini vacation":
The Sunrise Valley Wetlands Natural Area is within the ¼ mile circle around the future Herndon-Monroe Metro Station slated for high density development (Reston, Virginia). This beautiful wetlands is a federally mandated mitigation site developed to offset previous destruction of natural areas in Reston. There exists, within its relatively small 15.75-acre area, multiple ecosystems of open water, marsh and upland forest that attract a wide range of wildlife, including birds, turtles, frogs, dragonflies, butterflies and small and large mammals. The site is used regularly by Reston Association naturalists for public outreach and education programs.
Excerpt from the FAIRFAX COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, 2007 Edition
POLICY PLAN -- ENVIRONMENT
Amended through 2-25-2008:
...BOARD OF SUPERVISORS GOALS
Fairfax County has adopted two goals, “Environmental Protection” and “Open Space” that relate to conservation of the natural environment. These Goals read as follows:
Environmental Protection - The amount and distribution of population density and land uses in Fairfax County should be consistent with environmental constraints inherent in the need to preserve natural resources and to meet or exceed federal, state and local standards for water quality, ambient air quality and other environmental standards. Development in Fairfax County should be sensitive to the natural setting, in order to prevent degradation of the County’s natural environment.
Open Space - Fairfax County should support the conservation of appropriate land areas in a natural state to preserve, protect and enhance stream valleys, meadows, woodlands, wetlands, farmland, and plant and animal life. Small areas of open space should also be preserved in already congested and developed areas for passive neighborhood uses, visual relief, scenic value, and screening and buffering purposes.
In addition, three other goals, “Quality of Life,” “Land Use” and “Transportation,” cite the need to protect the environment. The Fairfax County Goals reflect the belief of the community that environmental protection and preservation are overarching components of the quality of life. The Goals demonstrate an understanding of the interdependence of decisions regarding private development, transportation, and public works with the environment. Decisions made about the scale, location, and type of human activity on the landscape affect, and are affected by the natural environment....

AREA RESIDENTS SEEK PROTECTION FOR A SANCTUARY
Proximity of Reston’s only wetlands to future Metro stop raises concerns about marsh’s fate.
By Mike DiCicco | Thursday, April 08, 2010
Carol Hadlock spent 4 1/2 years monitoring wildlife at Sunrise Valley Nature Park, during which she documented 122 species of birds, 33 of which nested there. "Right there, that says to me this is a very special place," she told the group of about two-dozen Reston leaders and nature enthusiasts who took a tour of the park on Wednesday, March 31. As more of the surrounding area has been developed, some of the larger species have moved on, but about 22 species still nest there, which is remarkable for such a small property, she said.
The park comprises naturally occurring wetlands, manmade wetlands, a restored farm pond and uplands buffers. The manmade portion of the marsh, which was created under a mandate from the Army Corps of Engineers to offset damage to wetlands elsewhere in Reston, makes up about 3.3 of the park’s nearly 16 acres.

Το έργο Μου στις τρεις αυτές εποχές διαφέρει σε περιεχόμενο σύμφωνα με την φύση της κάθε εποχής, αλλά σε κάθε στάδιο είναι σε συμφωνία με τις ανάγκες του ανθρώπου – ή, για να είμαστε πιο ακριβείς, γίνεται σύμφωνα με τα κόλπα που ο Σατανάς εφαρμόζει στον πόλεμο που διεξάγω εναντίον του. Ο σκοπός του έργου Μου είναι να νικήσω τον Σατανά, να εκδηλώσω την σοφία Μου και την παντοδυναμία Μου, να αποκαλύψω όλα τα κόλπα του Σατανά και μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο να σώσω ολόκληρο το ανθρώπινο γένος το οποίο ζει υπό τη σφαίρα επιρροής του. Είναι για να δείξω τη σοφία Μου και την παντοδυναμία Μου ενώ ταυτόχρονα ν’ αποκαλύψω την αβάσταχτη αποκρουστικότητα του Σατανά. Ακόμη περισσότερο είναι για να διδάξω στα πλάσματά Μου να διακρίνουν μεταξύ του καλού και του κακού, να γνωρίζουν ότι εγώ είμαι ο Κυβερνήτης όλων των πραγμάτων, να δουν ξεκάθαρα ότι ο Σατανάς είναι εχθρός της ανθρωπότητας, ο πιο χαμηλός των χαμηλών, ο σατανικός, και να διακρίνουν με απόλυτη βεβαιότητα τη διαφορά μεταξύ καλού και κακού, αλήθειας και ψεύδους, αγιότητας και βρομιάς και τι είναι σημαντικό και τι ποταπό. Μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο, η αδαής ανθρωπότητα θα μπορεί να γίνει μάρτυρας για Μένα, ότι δεν είμαι εγώ που διαφθείρω την ανθρωπότητα και μόνο εγώ – ο Κύριος της δημιουργίας – μπορώ να σώσω την ανθρωπότητα, μπορώ να δώσω στον άνθρωπο πράγματα για την απόλαυσή του. Και θα γνωρίσει ότι Εγώ είμαι ο Κυβερνήτης όλων των πραγμάτων και ο Σατανάς είναι απλώς ένα από τα όντα που δημιούργησα και αργότερα στράφηκε εναντίον Μου. Το σχέδιο διαχείρισης Μου των έξι χιλιάδων ετών χωρίζεται σε τρία στάδια για να επιτευχθεί το παρακάτω αποτέλεσμα: να μπορέσουν οι δημιουργίες Μου να γίνουν μάρτυρές Μου, να κατανοήσουν το θέλημά Μου και να γνωρίζουν ότι εγώ είμαι η αλήθεια. Έτσι, κατά τη διάρκεια της αρχικής φάσης του έργου στο σχέδιο διαχείρισής Μου των έξι χιλιάδων ετών, έκανα το έργο του νόμου που ήταν το έργο στο οποίο ο Ιεχωβά οδήγησε τους ανθρώπους Του. Το δεύτερο στάδιο ξεκίνησε το έργο της Εποχής της Χάριτος στα χωριά της Ιουδαίας. Ο Ιησούς αντιπροσωπεύει όλο το έργο της Εποχής της Χάριτος. Ενσαρκώθηκε και σταυρώθηκε στον σταυρό κι επίσης εγκαινίασε την Εποχή της Χάριτος. Σταυρώθηκε για να ολοκληρώσει το έργο της λύτρωσης, να τελειώσει την Εποχή του Νόμου και να ξεκινήσει την Εποχή της Χάριτος κι έτσι ονομάστηκε ο «Υπέρτατος Αρχηγός», η «Προσφορά για την αμαρτία», ο «Λυτρωτής». Έτσι, το έργο του Ιησού διέφερε σε περιεχόμενο από το έργο του Ιεχωβά, παρόλο που ήταν τα ίδια στις αρχές τους. Ο Ιεχωβά ξεκίνησε την Εποχή του Νόμου, εδραίωσε τη βάση του οίκου, δηλαδή το σημείο της αρχής του έργου Του στην γη και εξέδωσε τις εντολές. Αυτά ήταν δύο από τα κατορθώματά Του, τα οποία αντιπροσωπεύουν την Εποχή του Νόμου. Το έργο που έκανε ο Ιησούς την Εποχή της Χάριτος δεν ήταν για να εκδώσει εντολές αλλά για να εκπληρώσει τις εντολές και μ’ αυτόν τον τρόπο να οδηγήσει στην Εποχή της Χάριτος και να καταλήξει με την Εποχή του Νόμου που είχε διαρκέσει δύο χιλιάδες χρόνια. Ήταν ο πρωτοπόρος που ήρθε για να ξεκινήσει την Εποχή της Χάριτος, ωστόσο το κύριο μέρος του έργου Του ήταν για τη λύτρωση. Οπότε τα κατορθώματά Του ήταν επίσης διπλά: ξεκίνησε μια νέα εποχή και ολοκλήρωσε το έργο της λύτρωσης μέσω της σταύρωσής Του. Στη συνέχεια αναχώρησε. Στο σημείο αυτό, η Εποχή του Νόμου έφτασε στο τέλος της και η ανθρωπότητα εισήλθε στην Εποχή της Χάριτος.

From Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/ford/taurus/2008/review.html) -
What Edmunds.com says
The reborn 2008 Ford Taurus hits the dance floor with some fresh moves courtesy of a 263-horsepower V6. The engine upgrade, along with the Five Hundred's pre-existing comfortable cabin, cavernous trunk and top-notch safety scores, make the new Taurus a worthy candidate for a full-size sedan.
Pros
Extra-large backseat and trunk, outstanding crash test scores, comfortable ride, good visibility, available all-wheel drive.
Cons
High front seats create an odd driving position that might be uncomfortable for taller drivers, transmission occasionally slow to downshift.
What's New for 2008
Ford resurrects the Taurus nameplate for 2008 by affixing it to a much-improved Five Hundred. A more powerful engine, a nicer and quieter cabin, a retuned suspension and a corporate three-bar grille are the major highlights.
Introduction
Name recognition and awareness are no doubt important for automotive manufacturers. For example, look no further than the 2008 Ford Taurus. Ford has pulled the Taurus nameplate out of its one-year dirt nap in hopes of getting back into the thick of the large family sedan game. But is the public's awareness of the Taurus name a good thing or bad? Though a hero car back in the 1980s and early '90s, more recent iterations of the Taurus were dated and anonymous, a favorite of image-dulling rental car agencies and a not-so-favorite of middle management types who received them as company cars.
The Taurus revival is combined with the death of the Ford Five Hundred, a large sedan introduced a few years ago that never sold like the company had hoped. Although it offered a large cabin and an impressive ride and handling balance, the Five Hundred was let down by weak engine performance and a lack of refinement.
Thankfully, the 2008 Ford Taurus gains a number of improvements as part of its return. Under that familiar Five Hundred sheet metal are much improved running gear and additional features. In fact, Ford says there are more than 500 changes. A 263-hp V6 replaces the lame 203-hp V6, and a more responsive six-speed automatic replaces the sluggish continuously variable transmission (CVT) across all trim levels.
Other improvements for this large family sedan include the adoption of stability control, a "Ford Sync" system (that allows hands-free use of mobile phones and digital music players), improved cabin materials and more sound insulation for a quieter ride.
With its major performance infusion, addition of key safety and luxury features, and available all-wheel drive, the Ford Taurus is the best it's been in a long time. Given the Taurus' size (along with the fact that the Ford Fusion now battles stalwarts like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry), you'll probably want to cross-shop it against full-size sedans like the Chrysler 300, Hyundai Azera or Toyota Avalon. Though still slightly deficient in terms of style (compared to the 300) or all-around polish, the Taurus is certainly worth consideration.

La Guadalupita,un templo que respira vida

La Guadalupita, un templo que respira vida
La mancha urbana ocultó el templo, pero no el ánimo de los fieles.
El testimonio de los sacerdotes hace que la feligresía tenga “hambre de Dios”.
Mauricio Carmona R.
Entre las calles de la Colonia San Rafael, plagada de teatros y centros nocturnos, subsiste la iglesia de la “Guadalupita”, como lo llaman los vecinos. Y a pesar de que pareciera una zona cerrada a la Palabra de Dios, los sacerdotes y la comunidad han hecho ver lo contrario.
El templo
Image
Narra la historia que donde hoy se levanta el Palacio de Bellas Artes, vivió la familia Aguilar Reyes, católicos nobles y buenos, cuya vivienda desapareció luego de un terrible incendio. La madre había quedado atrapada en el interior de la casa, por lo que se encomendó a una imagen de la Guadalupana que se hallaba en la recámara; a cambio de salir con vida de esa catástrofe, le prometió a la Virgen un oratorio.
La Reina de los Cielos escuchó las súplicas, pues pronto un vecino tendió una escalera y otros más le ayudaron a descender hasta quedar a salvo. El fuego consumió todo, excepto el cuadro milagroso de la Santísima Virgen de Guadalupe.
Pasados algunos meses, la familia se dio a la tarea de construir una capilla a la Morenita en una propiedad de la naciente Colonia San Rafael. Viendo la devoción que los vecinos tenían a la imagen, pidieron permiso a la Sagrada Mitra para celebrar Misa todos los domingos en el pequeño recinto.
El Arzobispo de México, entonces Mons. Luis María Martínez, viendo la cantidad de fieles que acudían, decretó que la capilla fuera elevada a rango de parroquia, delegando el cuidado pastoral a los sacerdotes Misioneros Oblatos de María Inmaculada. Con grandes esfuerzos, el amplio y hermoso templo fue concluido y dedicado el 12 de octubre de 1954, con el nombre de “Iglesia de la Guadalupita”, convirtiéndose además en la casa madre de la orden.
La comunidad
A pesar del gran tamaño del templo, tanto en profundidad como en altura, la mancha urbana no cedió terreno y dejó casi invisible el recinto. Ni los enormes puentes del Circuito Interior ni los numerosos teatros y locales de la zona dejan ver con facilidad la iglesia.
Pese a ello, la comunidad no cede ante cualquier dificultad, y en verdad que las tiene. Las distintas calles que rodean el templo se han visto plagadas por centros nocturnos y pequeños “antros”, que han hecho de aquellos parajes una zona roja; incluso, parecía retador el hecho de que justo a las puertas de la parroquia se encontrara uno de estos bares. La comunión y solidaridad de los vecinos de la Guadalupita no se hizo esperar para resolver la situación y, después de largos acuerdos, se logró el cierre del establecimiento. El P. Ricardo Junius, párroco del lugar, nos comenta la satisfacción que siente por encontrarse en medio de una comunidad actuante.
“Pienso que somos una comunidad muy unida y con ganas de compartir nuestra fe”, explicó el sacerdote de origen estadounidense. “Estamos ansiosos de propagar con más devoción el Evangelio, sobre todo con los vecinos que llegan a los nuevos departamentos que han construido”. Y es que en los últimos años, la zona ha quedado repleta de condominios, generando con ello, más dificultades para transmitir el mensaje de Cristo.
La Pastoral
La iglesia de la Guadalupita ha quedado oculta por la mancha urbana, pero no ha sucedido lo mismo con el espíritu de trabajo de los fieles, el cual deja entrever el esfuerzo que han hecho los padres Oblatos en la actividad pastoral que se destaca.
“Muchas personas se han mudado a otras partes de la ciudad y algo que nos entusiasma es ver sus rostros cada domingo en Misa o en nuestros grupos parroquiales. Vienen desde lejos a su parroquia”, confesó el P. Ricardo.
El trabajo que han realizado los sacerdotes ha hecho eco en la comunidad. “Nos llena mucho ver a los padres trabajar desde muy temprano y hasta avanzada hora la noche”, comentó la señora Felicita, quien además explicó que “los sacerdotes nos han hecho sentir hambre de Dios y de Su Palabra ¿Y cómo no sentirlo al ver el testimonio y ejemplo de nuestros padres?”
Por ello, y a solicitud de la comunidad, iniciará un Curso de Evangelización a partir del 5 de febrero, fiesta de san Felipe de Jesús. “Será un curso muy completo donde se descubrirá a Cristo, paz y alegría permanente, y que logrará nuestro objetivo principal que es ser representantes vivos del Evangelio”.
Entre los proyectos de esta comunidad, cabe destacar también la creación de nuevos grupos parroquiales como son los ministros extraordinarios, equipo litúrgico, renovación carismática y un foro de debates sobre temas fuertes de interés para la Iglesia Católica”.
Finalmente, los fieles, como don Ramiro, no pierden la esperanza de que este hermoso templo pueda llegar a ser una basílica menor, puesto que el número de asistentes es grande y “tal vez a nuestra Madre le gustaría que esta casita suya también se considerara santuario de oración”
Our Lady & The English Martyrs, Cambridge
stepneyrobarts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/our-lady-english-ma...
Yesterday I revisited St Peter for internals and finished of Cambridge, visiting seven Victorian built churches only one of which, Our Lady & The English Martyrs, is worth writing up.
At first sight I wrote OLEM off as a Victorian Gothic monstrosity but as I wandered around the exterior I was struck by the quality of the building and the interior stunned me with lots of rather good glass and impressive architecture (oh and apart from three revisits, Babraham, Guilden Morden and Stow cum Quy, that finished the north west quadrant).
The Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, or OLEM, is situated in the heart of the city of Cambridge. An imposing example of the 19th Century Gothic Revival, it was built to the designs of Dunn & Hansom of Newcastle between 1885 and 1890, and founded solely by Mrs Yolande Marie Louise Lyne-Stephens, a former ballet dancer at the Paris Opera and Drury Lane, London, and widow of a wealthy banker. She promised to build the church on the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption, and Monsignor Christopher Scott - the first Rector - also wished to commemorate the Catholic Martyrs who died between 1535 and 1681, over thirty of whom had been in residence at the University.
Designed by architects Dunn and Hansom of Newcastle and built by the Cambridge firm of Rattee and Kett, OLEM is constructed in Casterton, Ancaster and Combe Down Stone. The church is a traditional cruciform structure in the early-decorated style with a large tower at the crossing, a polygonal apse and a west bell tower with a 65-metre spire, visible for miles around Cambridge. Quite often, it is quoted by visitors and local residents as a location point. The approximate internal dimensions of the church are: length 48 meters [156 ft] width across the aisles 16 meters [51 ft] width at the transepts 22 meters [71 ft], the height of the nave 15 meters [71ft].
Inside and over the west door stands the figure of Our Lady of the Assumption crowned with lilies and standing on the crescent moon with the vanquished serpent beneath. The west window shows the English Martyrs arranged in two principal groups, the clergy on the south side with St John Fisher in their midst and the laity on the north grouped round St Thomas More.
Beside the South aisle is an ancient statue of Our Lady with the Child Jesus. This statue is understood to be a gift in 1850 from Emmanuel College, which was built on the site of a Dominican Priory dating back to 1274. The Church of the Black Friars of Cambridge contained a statue of Our Blessed Lady to which much pilgrimage was had. Although unconfirmed this could be that statue.
The Chapel of the Holy Souls with the book of Remembrance is located at the west end of the south aisle. The sculpture above the altar depicts the solace and relief of the Holy Souls in Purgatory through the intercession of Our Lady and the angel who comforted Our Lord in Gethsemane. The Chapel is now appropriately used at the two great Christian celebrations: at Easter for the Empty Tomb indicating the Risen Lord, and at Christmas for the Crib.
The aisle windows were almost completely destroyed when the church was struck by a bomb on 1941, but were subsequently replaced in their original form. They epitomise the various sufferings of the English Martyrs, their being brought before the Council, racked, hung, drawn and quartered in the sight and sympathy of the faithful. The windows of the north aisle portray Carthusians, St Thomas Moore, B. Margaret Pole and others, while the south aisle is made a “Fisher Aisle”, devoted to scenes from the life of St John, Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, who in so many important ways is identified with Cambridge.
The best general impression of the interior is obtained from the gateway in the iron screen dividing the nave from the ante-chapel. The heads of the four great preachers of Our Lady’s Graces are carved in the four corners of the nave. The windows along the nave represent saints connected with the Church in Britain, arranged approximately in chronological order from east to west with a few additional figures in the eastern windows.
The Rood which is between the nave and the sanctuary is of the type known as “Majestas”; the figure of Our Lord, with glorified wounds, robed in alb, stole and pallium [as High Priest] and crowned [as King “reigning from the Tree”]. This was the earliest type of crucifix; the realistic figure, now almost universal, did not come into general use until the beginning of the thirteenth century. The cross, inspired by that at Nuremberg, is about 6 metres high, carved in oak; the figures of Christ and of Our Lady and of Saint John are of Kauri pine. They were carved locally by Mr. B. Maclean Leach and completed and blessed in 1914.
Beyond the present, modern altar is the High Altar with the relics of Saints Felix and Constantia, martyrs of the early Church. The tabernacle and ornaments of the altar are of exquisite French workmanship from Lyons. The baldacchino which covers the High Altar is similar to that over the tomb of Robert the Wise (1275-1343) at Santa Chiara, Naples. It is one of the earliest forms of adornment of a Christian altar. At the top is the figure of Our Lord in glory supported on each side by angels in act of adoration.
The design and the re-ordering of the sanctuary was done by Mr. Gerard Goalen of Harlow after the Second Vatican Council. On 7th April, 1973, Bishop Charles Grant consecrated the present central. The original High Altar has subsequently been used mainly for reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
The last few days have been a flurry of activity with building on the river and wet lands. But, in between I have gone to a bunch of new places and back to some of my favorite venues.
Xavier & I love to salsa. So we did a search and wham, we found >Latin Palace Dance Club. Couples were dancing in dressy attire to wonderful salsa music. Wearing a tuxedo without a shirt and me in a short cocktail dress, it so reminded Xavier & me of Miami clubs.
A stopover at Organica to catch the last hour of DJ Qee's set woke us up with a nice psy jolt! So good to hear Qee's dynamic sounds and see old friends.
A brand new club called Fear FM sent me a tp. I got to meet owner/builder Cypher Webb. Beautifully built by Cypher, he was also spinning an awesome set of hardstyle and goth rock. I had a blast there. Cypher is also recruiting DJ's so peeps, give him a shout!
It was so late on Thursday night (Fri morn?) that I just had to stop off and say hi to DJ Xavi at The Cave. Owner Tasty Hax was there, too. I run into her at every party!
Friday afternoon, I got a tp from one of the builders. I ended up at Blackhearts 80's club. I love the funkiness of this club. So simple. It feels like a rock n roll club. Halloween was coming and the Pillsbury Dough Boy showed up! LOL!
Late night, and Xavier & I headed for DJ Nebulae's set at Piranha. Xavi loves this club. He set his JMD Effects hud on and we were in psy heaven. We always have fun at Shad's club!
In between all the craziness, I hit New Berlin's Electro Smog. Gee... I can't seem to get enough of this place. Zap Hax was hosting and DJ djleftydc Denja was spinning a sweet set of tunes.
Another new place I landed upon was Le Ghetto Hype. This is a fun club of alternative and eclectic tunes. Owner DJ Frederick Neberle & partner ARNAUD Mureaux have built a wonderful place to hang.
Off to Divaz Lounge! DJ 8wall Wrigglesworth just sent me a tp! OMG, 8wall is spinning at Divaz.
I met 8wall at Dance Island last year and then over at Nutrie. He spins a very chill set of house and minimal tunes.
But, the highlight of my night was at Old Factory listening to DJ Jeangilles Anthony. This frenchman is an artist. Beautiful industrial noise layered with a hardstyle beat... then transcending into experimental music... psychedelic experimental noise. LOL! and I fell asleep there... just couldn't leave!
Late night on Friday, Xavier and I ended up at DJ Digital Francis' Le Pardis de Digital Nation. It was an after party and Digi was spinning. Xavi & Digi started a "stump me" game. I think Digital was very impressed with Xavier's musical knowledge. They bro-downed the entire night leaving me and DJ Snowkitty dumbfounded... 'cause neither of us knew any of the tunes. LOL! I think Xavier has a new favorite dj now!
El Templo de Viracocha ( Cultura incaica - Imperio incaico )

.
Raqchi es un sitio arqueológico de los Incas en la región Cusco en Perú también conocido como el Templo de Wiracocha. Un pueblo cercano tiene el mismo nombre. Ambos se encuentran alo lado del Río Vilcanota ( Rio Urubamba ). El sitio ha experimentado un reciente aumento en el turismo en los últimos años, con 83.334 visitantes al sitio en 2006, frente a 8.183 en 2000 y 452 en 1996.
A 117 km ( 2 horas ) desde la ciudad Cusco se encuentra una de las construcciones mas grandes de los Incas. El templo fue destruido en la conquista, pero lo que hoy queda es suficiente para encender la imaginacion y ver cuan grandioso fue 92 metros ( 302 ft ) de largo y 25.5 metros ( 84 ft ) de ancho. El templo es de paredes de adobe y la base de piedras volcanicas ( el Andesita ) en el estilo tipico de los Incas. Esto Templo se compone de un muro de adobe central de la altura entre 18 y 20 metros. Está flanqueada a cada lado por una hilera de once columnas. Antes de su destrucción por los españoles, el templo tenía el mayor techo en el tiempo de Imperio Inca, que tiene su pico en la pared central ( 18 y 20 metros ), a continuación, se extiende sobre las columnas en anchura de 25 metros ( 82 ft ) más allá de cada lado. El templo solo para ser el edificio más grande en el Imperio Inca.
El complejo tambien incluye areas residenciales y graneros, donde se guardaban alimentos. Junto al templo al norte son doce viviendas, que habría albergado a los sacerdotes y los administradores locales. El salón está dividido en lotes separados cuadrado mayor de los cuales es aproximadamente 4x6m. Todos tienen nichos en las paredes que podrían haber sido utilizados para el almacenamiento. Para el lado oriental del templo son unos 100 qolqas (.almacenes rondas.) en líneas paralelas, cada uno mide unos 10 metros ( 33 ft ) de diámetro. Estos almacenes se utiliza para mantener los granos, como el maíz y quinoa. Los depósitos también son únicos ya que a diferencia de otras estructuras en todo el imperio que no son cuadrados acorralado. La razón de esto es desconocido. Un empleo ritual de los productos alimenticios y una economía de campo perfecta se consideran como probable. las hambrunas eran desconocidas antes de la llegada de los españoles en el imperio de los Incas.
Al oeste del templo es un gran campo, ahora se utilizan por los lugareños para la agricultura,
que podría haber sido un parque de atracciones o mantener desbordamiento de fieles desde el mismo templo. En el extremo occidental de este campo es un conjunto de baños como en los sitios importantes a lo largo del imperio.

Why even MILD Covid is now being linked to long-term heart trouble: Millions of us have had the infection - and recovered in days. Now worrying research suggests there could be a nasty sting in the tail
Two weeks after falling ill with Covid TV doctor Xand van Tulleken thought he was on the mend, when he suddenly took a turn for the worse.
‘I woke at 3am with my heart rate rushing at 170 beats per minute [it should have been about 60] and in a chaotic rhythm. I felt bad: faint, sweaty, breathless, panicky,’ he says.
This was March 2020, at the start of the pandemic, when little was known about the typical course of the infection.
But Xand’s training as a public health doctor left him in little doubt that he had developed atrial fibrillation, a dangerous heart rhythm disorder where abnormal electrical impulses cause an irregular and often racing heartbeat. It can lead to stroke and, in extreme cases, heart failure.
‘I believed that my heart-rhythm problem arose most likely as a result of the virus inflaming my heart,’ he says. Realising the seriousness of the situation he raced by taxi to University College Hospital in London.
‘The emergency doctors shocked my heart to stop it temporarily, allowing it to restart in a normal rhythm, a process called cardioversion,’ he adds.
With his heart beating more normally, Xand was prescribed bisoprolol, a type of beta-blocker — medication that alters the heart’s response to nerve impulses, slowing its rate to reduce the risk of further heart-rhythm problems. But it didn’t.
‘My heart went into atrial fibrillation several times after that, meaning I had to go through the cardioversion process repeatedly,’ he says.
A year after his original infection, in 2021 Xand had to return to hospital for an ablation, a procedure that uses freezing liquid nitrogen to ‘burn’ heart tissue, creating scarring that disrupts the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats.
‘Surgery took about 90 minutes and I was awake throughout,’ he recalls. ‘It wasn’t painful but it definitely wasn’t enjoyable. When it got to the bit where they froze the heart tissue with liquid nitrogen in a balloon threaded through my artery, I was gripped by a sense of impending doom.’
Xand now feels recovered, mercifully. But millions of fellow Britons have been left facing similarly dangerous and debilitating heart problems in the wake of Covid.
Some 23 million Covid infections have been recorded in the UK, although it’s estimated that many more cases have gone unrecorded because those affected weren’t tested.
Two million people in the UK are living with long Covid, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed in June. It classified long Covid as experiencing symptoms more than four weeks after a coronavirus infection.
Fatigue is the most common, followed by shortness of breath, loss of sense of smell and difficulty concentrating, according to the ONS, but more worryingly there are also significant reports of long-term heart-related problems.
In March, the potential scale of such problems was revealed by a paper in the BMJ. The study of more than 47,000 people who’d been hospitalised with Covid-19 showed that they were about three times more likely than uninfected people to face major cardiovascular problems within eight months of being taken to hospital.
It’s not only people who were hospitalised who have been affected. A study in March of 150,000 Americans found serious heart complications can occur in people who seem to have recovered from a mild infection. The report in the journal Nature Medicine, led by Dr Ziyad Al-Aly, an epidemiologist at Washington University, St Louis, in the U.S., found that people who’d had Covid faced substantially increased risks for 20 conditions, including heart attacks and strokes, in the following 12 months.
In patients who’d been admitted to intensive care the risk of conditions, such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart that reduces its pumping ability) and blood clots in the lungs, was at least 20 times higher than in uninfected people. But even those who had not been hospitalised had increased risks of many conditions, ranging from an 8 per cent increase in heart attacks to a 247 per cent increase in myocarditis.
Scientists have long known that respiratory infections such as flu can trigger heart disease. This is because they cause inflammation, which plays a major role in cardiovascular illnesses.
However, a Covid infection seems to cause a much higher incidence of problems, and following much milder levels of initial illness.
‘It is not only surprising but also profoundly consequential that the risk is evident even in those [who had mild infections],’ says Dr Al-Aly. ‘That’s what makes this likely a serious public health problem.’
But why? One possibility is that the virus’s spike protein — which it uses to invade human cells — can cause an outbreak of localised inflammation in heart tissue that is so intense that it damages the muscle. Dr Zhiqiang Lin, an assistant professor of cardiology at the Masonic Medical Research Institute in New York, exposed human heart tissue in the lab to spike proteins from Covid-19 and HCoV-NL63, a coronavirus that infects the respiratory system without harming hearts.
He found Covid-19 sparks an immune response in heart cells whereas the other coronavirus did not. He believes that causes excessive inflammation which damages heart cells and causes myocarditis.
But Covid may also harm cardiovascular health in another way, according to a study by Houston Methodist Academic Medical Centre, Texas, published in August. This found that patients with long Covid heart symptoms may have double the normal risk of having unhealthy endothelial cells, which line the inside of the heart and blood vessels.
Endothelial cells play a key role in dilating the arteries and helping to get blood to the heart when we do physically strenuous activities. Patients with unhealthy endothelial cells, a condition known as microvascular dysfunction, are at higher risk of heart failure and death.
Dr Mouaz Al-Mallah, a cardiologist who co-authored the paper, explains in the journal JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging: ‘When a patient exercises they need more blood delivered to the heart to be able to provide blood to the entire body ... But in some patients with Covid, we noted it’s not increasing to the degree it should be.’
Dr Al-Mallah’s team scanned the hearts of nearly 400 patients with long Covid. The scans showed they were twice as likely to have unhealthy endothelial cells inside the heart and blood vessels. ‘This may potentially explain why some patients are having chest pain and shortness of breath because their heart is not getting that extra blood,’ Dr Al-Mallah wrote.
Not everyone is convinced that the dangers are widespread, however. In a small study of 52 people, Professor Gerry McCann, a cardiac-imaging specialist at the University of Leicester, found that people who had recovered after being hospitalised with Covid-19 had no greater rate of heart disease than people who had similar underlying cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, but who had remained uninfected by the virus.
He is working on a larger study with around 1,200 participants. ‘The more data we’re acquiring, the less impressed we are with the degree of myocardial injury,’ he told Good Health.
‘There is no doubt Covid is associated with heart problems in hospitalised patients, although it is relatively uncommon. Those who are hospitalised tend to have other risk factors such as older age, obesity and pre-existing cardiovascular disease.’
He adds: ‘There are mixed reports on the extent of heart problems from researchers using imaging techniques. Some of the abnormal findings are of uncertain clinical significance and we are not sure how much of the changes are related to pre-existing conditions.’
Other British researchers disagree that the extent of cardiovascular dangers are exaggerated.
Colin Berry, a professor of cardiology and imaging at the University of Glasgow, said: ‘Professor McCann’s study has serious limitations because it only studied 52 patients. I would concentrate on much larger studies that have greater statistical power such as the American ones, which do show widescale problems.’
Professor’s Berry’s own study, published in Nature Medicine in May, covered 1,306 former Covid patients. It found that one in eight people who had been hospitalised with the virus between May 2020 and March 2021 were later diagnosed with myocarditis.
‘Prior to Covid they had been fit and healthy,’ he says. ‘I think that the damage is more than just to these patients’ hearts but to their wider cardiovascular systems.
‘It may also involve their blood vessels, which helps to explain why such long Covid patients are showing physical problems and loss of quality of life.’
Dr David Strain, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter who specialises in viral infections, also believes Professor McCann’s results may not represent the whole picture.
‘The patients he studied are generally being followed up after they have left hospital, when the main danger period has passed,’ he says. ‘Beyond three months there seems to be a negligible risk of bad cardiovascular things happening.’
Dr Strain argues instead that the majority of heart problems emerge in a period that lasts from six to eight weeks after Covid infection. ‘This is the period when we see rates of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots going up,’ he says. ‘During this post-infection danger period, Covid picks on your weakest parts, such as your heart and arteries.’ Over the longer term Dr Strain says worrying evidence is mounting to suggest that the virus can hide dormant in our bodies for months or even years.
‘If the virus can hide in the body then anything that weakens a person’s immune defences — such as physical stress, infection or reinfection with another strain of Covid — may allow the virus to re-emerge,’ he says. ‘There is evidence to suggest long Covid can be caused by the virus persisting, and having surges subsequently may cause cardiovascular disease.’
This, Dr Strain says, is why it is crucial people getting over Covid take things very easy when recuperating from the virus. ‘From what we see, people who return to work early are more likely to get post-Covid problems,’ he warns.
Professor Berry agrees. ‘I advise long Covid patients to keep active, but to stay within their own limit,’ he explains. ‘Go for short leisurely walks and if you can do that well, try brisk walks — but don’t overdo it.’
Xand van Tulleken wishes he had taken things more slowly two years ago in the wake of his Covid infection. ‘I did not try to take it easy,’ he says. ‘Even on the day I suffered the first bout of atrial fibrillation, I went straight into work.’
As a result, ‘I went into a downward spiral. Being post-Covid and with heart worries, I felt depressive, miserable,’ he says.
‘Lots of people have gone through this stuff. Fortunately I had the support of my parents, who encouraged me to exercise gently and cooked for me. My twin brother Chris has been hugely helpful with recovering my health by getting me to eat well, not eating junk food and ultraprocessed foods to aid my general health.’
He adds: ‘Professor Toby Hillman was my doctor at the clinic for people with Covid complications. He said his best advice for anyone with long Covid is to rest.’
Thanks to a combination of Xand taking this on board, and having the successful cardioversion op, he says: ‘I now feel amazing.
‘I can go for a run every morning and feel healthy.
‘Convalescence is what we all need after Covid. It sounds such an old-fashioned word, but as a nation we have lost the concept of convalescence. We need to get it back.’
fortune.com/well/2022/09/20/bf-7-new-covid-subvariant-ris...
Just in time for fall, there’s a brand-new COVID variant making headway in the U.S.
A new COVID strain started to create waves among virus trackers this week, outpacing nearly all other variants of interest scientists are tracking in the U.S. this autumn.
The variant, which scientists have named BF.7—short for BA.5.2.1.7—comprised 1.7% of sequenced infections last week in the U.S., according to new data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Other variants jockeying for the top spot right now—held by BA.5, at 85%—include BA.4.6, which comprised 10.3% of infections, and BA.2.75, which comprised 1.3%.
Scientists are taking notice of BF.7 because it’s making headway in an increasingly crowded field of Omicron subvariants. For months they’ve watched BA.2.75—dubbed Centaurus by the Twitterverse—as a variant of interest with potential to surge this fall. But this week, BF.7 surpassed it.
Potentially more transmissible than BA.5
BF.7 is only beginning to grow off in the U.S., but it’s already taken off in other countries.
So far Belgium has seen the lion’s share of BF.7 cases identified globally: 25%. Denmark, Germany, and France have each seen 10% of the world’s identified cases so far, according to cov-lineages.org, a COVID data repository updated daily by contributors from universities in England, Scotland, and Australia, among others.
The new subvariant was first reported by the CDC as part of cases of BA.5, which rose to prominence this summer. But the CDC recently broke it out into its own category when cases topped 1%, Dr. Stuart Ray, vice chair of medicine for data integrity and analytics at Johns Hopkins Department of Medicine, told Fortune.
“The same growth advantage in multiple countries makes it reasonable to think that BF.7 is gaining a foothold,” and that it’s potentially more transmissible than parent BA.5, Ray said. Children of variants “don’t grow relative to their parent unless they have an advantage.”
While nothing is known about the severity of disease BF.7 might cause, so far all Omicron subvariants have had similar severity, he added.
The new subvariant has a change in the spike protein—a feature that allows it to enter cells—seen in other Omicron strains making headway. It also has a change in the nucleotide sequence—sometimes referred to as the blueprint of an organism—that could cause it to behave differently than other subvariants. But the extent to which it will diverge, if it does at all, is currently unknown, Ray said.
COVID is continually evolving to become more immune evasive, according to Ray, and Omicron is spawning exponentially. He added he wouldn’t be surprised to see a new variant altogether this fall.
“It’s been a while since we went from Alpha to Beta to Gamma to Delta, then to Omicron,” he said. “We may be complacent. This may be feeding into the notion that this is behind us.”
The tangle of Omicron spawns—with or without a new parent variant—could make for a rough fall and winter, Ray said.
His advice? Continue to mask and get your booster. And remember that the pandemic isn’t over.
“There are people who predicted COVID would be over by Easter of last year,” he said.

Une démarche de développement durable
Le centre de production horticole, c'est 13 300 m2 de serres qui figurent sans doute parmi les plus modernes et performantes du pays. "Nous n'avons pas voulu nous contenter de remplacer les vieilles serres de Créteil et Limeil-Brévannes, explique Thierry
Deman, responsable de la production florale et arboricole de Plaine centrale. Notre objectif, c'était de créer un site de production qui garantisse un haut rendement, respecte l'environnement et offre au personnel de bonnes conditions de travail. C'est
pourquoi nous nous sommes inscrits dans une démarche HQE (haute qualité environnementale) de développement durable."
C'est ainsi que les constructions ont été intégrées dans leur environnement, que les serres ont été travaillées et disposées pour limiter au maximum l'impact visuel, que les arbres et les haies existants ont été préservés et que les matériaux choisis (bois,
verre, aluminium, acier inoxydable, linoléum, peintures sans solvant) l'ont été pour leurs faibles nuisances environnementales.
À l'intérieur, la plupart des réseaux ont été enterrés et l'éclairage a été réalisé avec des luminaires basse luminancepour améliorer le confort visuel.
Les équipements bruyants ont été mis dans des lieux isolés pour limiter les nuisances sonores, des siphons ont été placés régulièrement sur les dallages pour faciliter le nettoyage du sol, des ouvrants de pignons et de toiture ont été installés pour permettre
le brassage et le renouvellement de l'air.
Des économies d'eau et d'énergie
Mais le respect de la démarche HQE est surtout sensible dans la gestion économique et écologique de l'énergie et de l'eau.
De nombreuses dispositions ont ainsi été prises pour réaliser des économies de chauffage et améliorer le confort de travail du personnel (énergie humaine) : orientation des serres dans l'axe nord-sud pour un ensoleillement maximum, utilisation d'un verre spécial pour une filtration positive des rayons solaires (rétention
des UVA), régulation informatisée du climat et installation d'une chaudière à grand volume d'eau, mise en place de chaînes de production pour diminuer les déplacements, les efforts et contraintes physiques, concentration des aires de culture
autour de la galerie de travail.
Par ailleurs, tout a été conçu pour limiter les prélèvements d'eau et supprimer les rejets. C'est ainsi qu'un bassin de récupération des eaux de toiture a été réalisé et qu'un système d'arrosage, fondé sur le drainage et le recyclage des eaux de sol
a été mis en œuvre (voir encadré).
Ce sont bien, ainsi, des serres du XXIe siècle qui ont ouvert à Mandres-les-Roses. Un univers de fleurs et de plantes vertes certes, mais aussi de tapis de convoyage, de ponts roulants et de chariots mécaniques, car l'automatisation est omniprésente et a
permis à chaque étape de la production (rempotage, fertilisation ...) et de la manutention (transport du terreau, des plaques de culture ...) d'éliminer la plupart des tâches pénibles. Quant aux ordinateurs dont la présence peut également surprendre, ils
gèrent, ni plus ni moins que le chauffage, l'arrosage et le climat.
Un système d'arrosage innovant
En matière de développement durable et de protection de l'environnement, les serres communautaires se situent à la pointe de la technologie. Alors que les dégâts causés aux nappes phréatiques par les engrais et traitements divers sont depuis longtemps avérés et que l'eau devient un bien de plus en plus précieux, les serres communautaires ne polluent pas et permettent de réaliser des économies. Elles le doivent à l'installation d'un système d'arrosage qui met en œuvre le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage et la récupération des eaux de pluie (ou eaux de toiture). Comme le montre le schéma ci-dessous, le recyclage des eaux d'arrosage s'effectue par filtration à travers une toile perméable et une couche de roche volcanique au pouvoir tampon, disposées sous les plantes. Les eaux de pluie, elles, sont récupérées dans un bassin de 500 m3. Après mélange et fertilisation dans une station de pompage, eaux de pluie et d'arrosage sont dirigées sur les rampes d'arrosage.

A questão do preconceito que eu passava no meu trabalho como professora da rede pública municipal não era relatada pela Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo e pela Secretaria de Educação (SEMED). Ao contrário, a prática da Secretaria Municipal de Educação foi o de abafar o problema do preconceito, da discriminação e do bullying quando por exemplo eu fui chamada na Secretaria de Educação pela funcionária Ivani (Maria Ivani Daher de Oliveira Mattos - mat. 46960) para reescrever o processo em 2006 onde eu relatava que sofria constrangimentos na Escola Municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima porque a Secretária de Educação Maíses Rangel Suhett não gostou do que eu escrevi. A funcionária Ivani me disse que caso eu não retirasse os relatos que informavam que eu sofria preconceito em um novo processo, eu não receberia o meu pagamento.

A Secretária de Educação Maíses Rangel Suhett se negava a tomar alguma providência frente a um relato que dizia que eu era discriminada na escola municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima (EMJAL). As atitudes da Secretária de Educação Maíses foram mandar me dizer que ela não gostou do que eu escrevi e mandar arquivar o processo. Ela não apenas se recusava a tomar conhecimento de que eu era discriminada, como também acobertava e não tomava nenhuma atitude.

Na Secretaria Municipal de Educação, além de eu ter que refazer o processo, escrevendo apenas o que a funcionária Ivani me ditava, eu era tratada como sendo um homem pela funcionária Ivani de religião católica. Ela me dizia a todo instante "professor, o senhor professor, eu não me acostumo, nem nunca vou me acostumar com isso, não adianta fazer mudança de sexo", esses fatos e situações constrangedoras me abalavam ainda mais.

Nos computadores da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Belford Roxo em 2009 havia 21 processos meus para consulta geral com nome de homem e sexo masculinos. Isso ocorria mesmo com a Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo e a Secretaria Municipal de Educação sabendo que havia sido expedida uma decisão judicial em 2005, 4 anos antes, determinando a retificação de nome e sexo em todos os meus registros civis.
Na Secretaria Municipal de Educação ainda havia o meu assentamento individual que registrava os meus dados pessoais e trazia uma foto masculina. As pessoas faziam referência a essa foto que se encontrava nos meus assentamentos na secretaria de educação com desdém. Esta situação me deixava em uma situação de muito desconforto e constrangimento sendo alvo de piadas, deboches e chacotas na própria escola por parte de professores e, principalmente, do diretor José Carlos Neto Filho ( mat. 11/05236 - PMBR ).
Um dos conhecidos do diretor Neto, Marcelino Santos de Araujo, funcionário municipal de Belford Roxo que transitava dentro da Secretaria de Educação me chamava publicamente de galinha, traveco, bichona. Dizia que eu era a sodomita número 1 de Belford Roxo, entre outras ofensas e transfobia.

A questão do preconceito nunca chegou a ser reconhecida pela Secretaria Municipal de Educação e pela Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo mesmo com a publicação deste fato em 2008 na capa e no interior de um jornal conceituado de grande circulação no estado do Rio de Janeiro.
Em 2008 o Jornal Extra fez uma abordagem sobre o preconceito que eu enfrentava no meu trabalho como professora de língua estrangeira na rede municipal de Belford Roxo.
A matéria repercutiu de forma ampla. Todas as pessoas que trabalhavam na Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo na época ficaram sabendo ou leram esta reportagem, apesar do jornal ter se esgotado rapidamente, principalmente nos locais onde eu interagia. A matéria trouxe a foto do meu rosto dentro e fora do jornal, mais precisamente na capa.
Apesar de o jornal relatar sobre a questão do preconceito que eu enfrentava e a questão da minha transexualidade que se tornou pública e exigia no meu caso a necessidade de acompanhamento endocrinológico ininterrupto, o uso de hormônios femininos em dosagem individualizada e adequada para o resto da vida, o acompanhamento psicológico e psiquiátrico especializados e o acompanhamento de uma assistente social, a Secretaria de Educação e a Procuradoria Geral do Município de Belford Roxo fechou os olhos para essas questões que ocorriam comigo durante o processo transexualizador.
Sempre que foram realizados inquéritos administrativos determinados pela Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo ou eram enviados documentos fundamentando esses inquéritos, esses fatos eram omitidos, não eram mencionados. Era do conhecimento público que eu quatro anos após me submeter a uma cirurgia para reassentamento genital ainda sofria preconceito na escola que eu lecionava inglês em Belford Roxo. O Jornal Extra em 2008 trouxe uma declaração em que eu dizia "Já sofri muito. Todo dia é uma luta". O título na capa do jornal era discriminação na Baixada. E embaixo da foto na capa do jornal havia outra legenda: A professora de inglês Faiza Khálida ... vítima do preconceito.
Eram muitos os traumas, as vivências traumáticas e isso fragilizava o meu estado emocional e psíquico. Eu já havia passado o fantasma de ser ameaçada de morte antes pela Secretária de Educação Rosângela em 2002 na própria Secretaria de Educação (SEMED). Eu já havia sido perseguida com o uso de relatório mentiroso antes com orientadora pedagógica me prejudicando dando falso testemunho. Eu já havia chegado a um estado que eu passei a escrever no próprio diário de classe em 2007 cujas cópias foram enviadas para a Procuradoria Municipal que eu não aguentava mais o preconceito, o assédio moral e trabalhava chorando muito, sentindo dores de cabeça e outros sintomas psicológicos preocupantes.
Eu já havia sido condenada também por causa de Igreja cristã e da Bíblia. Um desses casos constou em um processo administrativo onde um procurador municipal de Belford Roxo chegou até a autorizar que a professora Leila Bonine de história e religião católica da Escola Municipal São Bento tomasse conhecimento da lei que pune o crime de preconceito contra homossexuais no estado do Rio de Janeiro porque esta professora dizia na escola para alunos que a Igreja Católica me condenava, que eu devia ser condenada e permanecer fora da escola por ser homossexual.
Procurador Municipal e Presidente da Comissão Permanente de Inquérito Administrativo José Domingos Lucena (mat 11/20.972) diz no processo 04/002743/03 em 24/10/2005 que a professora Leila Bonine deve ser convidada a ler a lei antidiscriminatória from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA
Não era necessário que a situação fosse publicada no Jornal Extra para que os órgãos da Prefeitura tomassem conhecimento de que eu sofria preconceito.
Desde 2003, havia processos administrativos em que eu trazia essa questão ao conhecimento da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo.
Era desrespeitada no exercício da minha função, dava aulas sendo chamada de viado, discriminada, me jogavam terra. Os alunos realizaram manifestação na Escola, na SEMED e ao vereador local pedindo o meu retorno à Escola, que me aceitassem (04/2743/03) from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA
Em muitas ocasiões eu escrevia sobre isso movida pela pressão social, sem estar mais aguentando esta situação, como um pedido de socorro, de ajuda, para instâncias superiores, ou para o conhecimento das instâncias superiores de que eu havia chegado ao meu limite e não tinha mais condições de continuar suportando tamanha carga de preconceito.
FOLHA 03 DO PROCESSO ADMINISTRATIVO 04/2743/03 - Fiquei perturbada, fragilizada, desorientada, com os nervos pronto pra explodir, paranoica, EM DEPRESSÃO com as pessoas que ficavam me chamando de Xxxxxxxxx debochando da minha sexualidade - Discriminação from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA
PARTE DO PROCESSO DE 2003 escrito à mão COM ASSINATURA E MATRÍCULAS MUNICIPAIS. "... Peço a Prefeitura que custeie para mim um tratamento Psicológico e Psiquiátrico pois sei que não me encontro mais, depois de tudo isso, no meu senso normal ..." de Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA
Em 2007, após ter escrito no ano anterior em processo administrativo sem sucesso e não conseguindo mais desempenhar as minhas funções adequadamente, cheguei ao desespero e ao desequilíbrio psíquico e emocional de registrar o fato de que eu não estava bem nos diários de classe das turmas em que eu lecionava, na parte das observações, para o conhecimento das autoridades responsáveis, porque isso atingia não somente a mim e a minha saúde, mas também o trabalho que era realizado, o meu desempenho profissional e o resultado daquilo que era ou não era realmente feito em sala de aula.
Eu não conseguia auxiliar aos alunos em suas necessidades e dificuldades porque eu estava doente. O meu trabalho e o resultado do meu trabalhado estavam comprometidos por aquele contexto.
DECLARAÇÃO MÉDICA (20/08/2007)
A Sra Faiza Khálida apresentava tristeza, falta de prazer nas atividades, choro fácil, irritabilidade, impaciência com os alunos, insônia, ansiedade, cefaleias frequentes e dificuldades para cumprir suas tarefas no trabalho.
20/08/2007 - A Sra Faiza Khálida apresentava tristeza, falta de prazer nas atividades, choro fácil, irritabilidade, impaciência com os alunos (era professora), insônia, ansiedade, cefaleias frequentes E DIFICULDADES PARA CUMPRIR SUAS TAREFAS NO TRABALHO from Ruim no Psicológico .por PRECONCEITO, BULLYING, INJUSTIÇA
Eu precisava que a Prefeitura, a Secretaria de Educação e a Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo enxergassem uma situação que eles não queriam ver.
Foram feitas manifestações nos diários de classe das turmas 601, 602, 604, 605 e 701 da Escola Municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima na parte destinada as observações no ano de 2007.
No diário da turma 605, por exemplo, eu declarei que tinha fortes dores de cabeça na escola e que a escola era para mim um lugar de traumas profissionais e emocionais.
A atitude da Procuradoria Municipal foi apenas me punir e silenciar por ter feito esses registros nos diários de classe sem sequer averiguar a questão do preconceito e da minha saúde mental.
A Secretaria Municipal de Educação e a Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo desconsideraram as questões relativas ao meu estado emocional, ao preconceito que eu passava e até a obrigatoriedade da correção de todos os meus registros com nome e sexo femininos. Fatos que eram tão importantes foram abafados, omitidos, ignorados, desconsiderados e não fizeram parte de relatórios, relatos, ocorrências, procedimentos e inquéritos administrativos referentes a mim que foram utilizados para me prejudicar ainda mais.

No mesmo parágrafo do processo de 2003 arquivado pela Procuradoria do Município, eu registrei " que inúmeras vezes me encontrava chorando e relembrando esses tristes episódios no trabalho que não conseguia mais tirá-los da minha cabeça sentindo um vazio muito grande e outros sintomas psiquiátricos que não conseguia explicar pedindo em nome do Senhor Jesus Cristo ajuda médica ".

Somewhere in Konami, there is a box where all Really Stupid Ideas go. It may be an orange crate, a novelty cookie tin, or just a sturdy cardboard box that looked too useful to toss. I am convinced that the box exists, and that it was opened sometime in 1998, because no other facts will adequately explain Hybrid Heaven.
Let's take a deep breath and get started...
Aliens exist. Some of the aliens are nice, and others are evil. Evil but wily. They want to take over Earth, which just goes to show how desperate the galactic real estate situation is getting. So one of the evil aliens infiltrates the mothership of a nice alien race on its way to peacefully explore the planet Earth. The ship arrives at its landing site under New York City (apparently, the Manhattan bedrock is a myth), evil alien enslaves good aliens, and starts creating an unholy hybrid (of what, is not explained) clone army to take over the planet. All this multitasking leaves him little time; hence he has no name other than 'The Master'. He also makes hybrid clones that look exactly like certain people (like the American president) so he can pull switcheroos. The technology for sucking out people's memories comes in real handy whenever a swap takes place. Luckily, a lone Secret Service Agent has nothing better to do than get in The Master's way...
Is there even a point in criticizing a video game for having an appalling plot, terrible dialogue, and barely cardboard characters?
My answer is yes. There's 'pretty bad' like Metal Gear Solid, which wants to marry Clancy-style political-military-adventure thriller to the Japanese giant-robot anime tradition (some traditions should be dumped, and widow burning and giant robots are two of them), then there's bad like a rotten egg. Metal Gear's bad writing doesn't get in the way of much that is good about the game, while Hybrid Heaven's stinks to—well, high heaven. Hell, given a team of good disciplined writers with a sense of humor, it would still be possible to write a decent Metal Gear game. Outrageous villains, great gadgets, cool hero, hot babes, lots of suspension of disbelief -- this is stuff of James Bond after all. Can't say the same for Hybrid Heaven.
The hard truth is, the game industry is indifferent to decent writing overall, and particularly deluded when it comes to action games. The culture of the latter is that of teenage boys who aren't particularly interested in anything except what mainstream pop culture dishes out to them, and it shows. Having translated and played a fair number of plot-intensive video games, I can say with confidence that most of these writers do not have a clue what they are doing. They wouldn't last a day in even TV or film, yet they're allowed to put out crap like "You are Nick Vrenna. It is the year 2009. You have been falsely incarcerated inside a high security underground prison where illegal genetic experiments are taking place" without anybody batting an eyelash. Good thing too. Blinking might get in the way of shooting, causing you to lose precious, precious points.
So what if a game has great playability, beautiful graphics and all the works? If you're playing a game and the hero's girlfriend/communication officer (note to Hideo Kojima: you don't know a lot of women, do you?) is bugging him about commitment issues while he's hiding from recon inside an enemy installation, point at the so-called writers and laugh at them really loudly. In public. So these game producers think you're that stupid? Swallow it, give it good reviews, fail to call them on the idiocy and you've proven that yes, you are that stupid. Bring on the sequels, feed me more of that non-nourishing, vaguely headache-inducing stuff. I wouldn't recognize quality if it came up and bit me on my numb-from-too-much-sitting ass!
Demand better. It's no coincidence that there's nothing but sequels and formulas coming out of this relatively new, multibillion-dollar industry.
