Le Caracara chimango est un petit rapace diurne apparenté aux faucons, comme les autres Caracaras. C'est le plus petit de tous les Caracaras. Pour résumer, c'est un gros crécerelle avec une tête de caracara. Plus précisément, le Caracara chimango, à peine plus grand que notre Faucon crécerelle, présente un plumage globalement brun. Les plumes sont bordées d'un liseré plus clair, ce qui donne à l'oiseau un aspect légèrement moucheté. La calotte, le dos et les ailes sont d'une nuance plus foncée que le reste de la tête et le dessous du corps. Les couvertures alaires sont du même brun que le dos, les rémiges secondaires et tertiaires sont brun foncé tirant sur le noir, tandis que les rémiges primaires ont une base brune très claire et une extrémité presque noire. La queue est assez longue, de couleur claire au niveau du croupion et des sous-caudales, les rectrices sont brun moyen légèrement striées, et terminées par une large bande noire à l'extrémité. Les motifs contrastés des ailes et de la queue sont surtout visibles en vol, et sont peu marqués chez les juvéniles. Mâle et femelle ont un plumage identique, la différence entre les sexes se situe au niveau des pattes et de la cire, qui sont jaunes chez le mâle adulte, alors que chez la femelle et les juvéniles des 2 sexes la cire est rose clair et les pattes sont gris bleuté. Le bec est petit comparé aux autres espèces de caracaras ; il est grisâtre chez la plupart des individus, pouvant tirer vers le jaunâtre chez les mâles adultes. Les yeux sont brun foncé, presque noirs. Deux sous-espèces ont été décrites : la sous espèce nominale, qui vit dans la partie nord de son aire de répartition, est d'un brun chaud pouvant tirer sur le roux, alors que la sous-espèce temucoensi, que l'on trouve plus au sud, a un plumage plus foncé de couleur gris-brun fumé.
Ce petit rapace est implanté dans toute la partie sud de l'Amérique Latine : Chili sauf extrême nord, Argentine à l'exception de la zone nord de la Cordillère des Andes, Uruguay, sud et centre du Paraguay, sud du Brésil jusqu'à la région de Sao Paulo.

Intermède au Parc des Félins
Le "Chat forestier", "chat sylvestre" ou "chat sauvage d’Europe" (Felis silvestris silvestris) : On le trouve dans toute l'Europe. D'apparence, il ne se distingue guère du chat domestique, d' un gros chat tigré : 5 kg pour le mâle et 3,5 kg pour la femelle en moyenne. Très difficile à observer, des chats harets (chats domestiques vivant à l'état sauvage) sont fréquemment pris pour des chats sylvestres. L'hybridation avec le chat domestique est un autre problème pour la conservation de l'espèce, outre les menaces qui pèsent sur son milieu naturel.
En France, sa présence est avérée dans toute la chaîne des Pyrénées ainsi que dans un large quart Nord-Est suivant un axe Nord-Sud du département Nord à la Corrèze, et un axe Ouest-Est de la Corrèze à la Savoie. Sa présence est probable mais non certaine dans trois départements limitrophes de son implantation : Indre-et-Loire, Vienne et Haute Vienne.
Le chat forestier est considéré comme menacé au niveau européen et, depuis les années 1970, c'est une espèce protégée sur l'ensemble de son aire de répartition.

que paseando su perra por un jardín mugroso pero cercano, con esa parsimonia que implanta el cansancio de un jueves tarde , transportarda por una cuerda gastada y sólo al ritmo que les marca su perro,
de repente oyen a una niña, histérica, que no levanta dos palmos del suelo decir a un niño mas o menos de la misma altura :
"si te cojo hago una tortilla con tus huevos"....
bueno !!!, en ese momento desperté ,
me ha dado por reir, ja,ja,ja

After tea, Grinelda shows Luna her latest neural implant. Luna was impressed by its intricacy. It was a stunning piece of technology, with circuitry woven into the hood like an finely made tapestry.
"This is incredible," Luna said, examining the implant closely. "What does it do?"
"It enhances my vision and hearing," Grinelda replied, "I can see and hear things that no one else can. It's like having superpowers!"
"What sorts of things can you see?" asked Luna, excitedly.
Grinelda smiled and closed her eyes. "Well, with this implant, I can see the molecular structure of objects. I can also see distant planets and hear the sounds of colours. If I focus, I can even see the aura of living beings."
Luna's eyes widened with amazement. "That's incredible! I've never heard of anything like it before. What kind of aura do I have?"
Grinelda chuckled. "Well, let me take a closer look." She closed her eyes again and concentrated for a few moments before opening them again. "You have a strong aura, Luna. It's bright and full of energy, with shades of blue and green."
Luna smiled. "That's amazing. I've always been interested in auras and energy fields. Do you think I could get an implant like yours?"
"Of course!" Grinelda replied. "I can take you to my favourite store. It is your birthday soon, isn’t it?”

THE RISE OF CYBORG CULTURE OR THE BOMB WAS A CYBORG
Bruce Sterling's science fiction novels portray the cyborg future of humanity. There, centuries from now, humans have divided themselves into competitive factions based on two opposing philosophies: "Mechanism" and "Shaping." The former have designed their own ontogenetic evolution through the cultivation of various technologies, including the prosthetic, mechanical, and especially cybernetic ones. The Shapers rely only on biology, biochemistry, and especially molecular biology (genetics) to "shape" themselves and their own futures, primarily by extending life, sexual potency, and certain biological talents. From back here in their past, we can perceive a certain irony (out of which Sterling makes some nice satiric hay): the two human factions are really twins, seeking a shared posthuman future, though through different means. Both evolve towards artificially constructed beings who rely merely on two different arrangements of cyborg techniques to distinguish themselves from each other. The Shapers may well pride themselves on their eugencially-selected intelligence and despise the artificial computer implants and enhancements of their Mechanist doppelgangers. Yet, as one of the Mechanist spokesmen notes, "[The Shapers] might properly be defined as industrial artifacts."[1] The Mechanists may well use software implants and direct linking to computers to enhance their faculties, and abhor the messy fecundity and (what they view as "corruption") of Shaper life, but there is no denying that their mechanical prostheses change biological facts.
In one particular epoch of Sterling's future history (which he plays out over several works of fiction), this galaxial civilization is in its decadence, verging on the apocalyptic, dangerously close to achieving a critical mass or catastrophic fluctuation that will force it to "leap to a new order of complexity" (in terms Sterling borrows from chaos theory).[2] This new order will be the Post/pp. 5-6/ human. The speeches of many characters refer to this yearned-for future; they chide each other with gibes like, "Oh, show a little Posthuman fluidity." Sterling's hero in "The Cicada Queen" foresees the shape of the posthuman in "The Lobsters," humans who have already gone over to the far side of this utopian vision. The Lobsters have "shucked their humanity like a caul," combining some Shaper bioengineering with Mechanist tech to encase themselves in completely cyberneticized shells, after altering their biology to ensure they can survive.
The Lobsters hooked into fluidic computers or sheltered themselves from solar storms and ring-system electrofluxes.
They never ate. They never drank. Sex involved a clever cyber-stimulation through cranial plugs. Every five years or so they `molted' and had their skins scraped clean of the stinking accumulation of mutated bacteria that scummed them over in the stagnant warmth [of their suits].
They knew no fear… They were self-contained and anarchical. Their greatest pleasure was to sit along a girder [on a space station] and open their amplified senses to the depths of space, watching stars past the limits of ultraviolet and infrared…
There was nothing evil about them, but they were not human. As distant and icy as comets, they were creatures of the vacuum, bored with the outmoded paradigms of blood and bone. I saw within them the first stirrings of the Fifth Prigoginic Leap… as far beyond intel-/pp. 6-7/ ligence as intelligence is from amoebic life or life from inert matter. ("Cicada Queen" 77)
I find this description of one of humanity's possible futures compelling, not so much because it is attractive (which it is in some zoned-out fashion) but simply because it seems plausible. This image of the cyborg and others, also more or less plausible, have now come to dominate our postmodern landscape, expressed in literature, film, and the arts, giving rise to rich expressions too broad and numerous to catalog here.
Today, from a vantage point after the Cold War is purportedly over, it is easier to see the outline of cyborg epistemology as it grows out of seeds engineered in World War II and blossoms in Cold War culture. - From this advantageous perspective in 1993, the contest among nations and ideologies that was World War II masked an even more important war between opposing cognitive faiths, with a definite victory for cybernetic fundamentalism. In short, to understand how and why the cyborg has achieved such predominance in the 1990s, such mythological force, we must re-read World War II and the Cold War. In this paper, I hope to show how the Mechanists, the Shapers, and the Lobsters of Sterling's imagination came to be thinkable -- if not inevitable -- versions of the posthuman because of the technologies and epistemologies that won World War II.
The "Atomic Age" vs. the "Cybernetic Age": The Bomb was a Cyborg
What would happen if you asked most contemporary commentators of the period of the late 1940s and the early 1950s: What is the single most important feature of your cultural and political landscape? or, What is the largest threat to civilization? They would undoubtedly reply to both questions, "The Bomb." It is a cliché to say that what determined the politics, much of the imaginative culture, some of the nihilistic philosophy, and certainly the Byzantine dance between the superpowers USSR and /pp. 7-8/ USA, was the threat of detonating the apocalyptic, doomsday device known first as the Atomic Bomb and later as the Nuclear Bomb. This was so true that it is also a cliché to call the Cold War Era the Atomic Age, sometimes striking an upbeat note, ringing within it the gleaming promise of a utopian future, but more often echoing something bleak and foreboding. Certainly, the popular culture of the 1950s and 1960s reflected darker images in hundreds of novels and movies about atomic bombs, monsters created by nuclear fallout, like Godzilla, and parables about post-Nuclear apocalyptic worlds like "On the Beach" and "FailSafe."
I would argue, however, that the politics of the atomic bomb and nuclear weaponry is really a small subset of a much more profound and important movement, one that is now beginning to express itself in its full-blooded manifestation. Furthermore, this movement was at its core an epistemological revolution. Why does the atomic bomb fade as an icon in the 1980s and 1990s, even while nuclear weapons stockpiles increase and proliferate, to be replaced by the computer, the AI, the robot, the cyborg as the most important icon of our generation? The answer, again, is epistemological: the Atomic Bomb was a very explosive technological device, but as such was merely a symptom or manifestation of the very same epistemology that is more fundamentally represented by the cyborg.

Microchip implant in humans have raised new ethical discussions by scientific professional forums, academic groups, human rights organizations, government departments and religious groups. The Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) of the American Medical Association published a report in 2007 alleging that RFID implanted chips may compromise privacy because there is no assurance that the information contained in the chip can be properly protected, notwithstanding health risks (chips may travel under the skin).
RFID tagging has been criticised by believers of Abrahamic religions. In Christianity, some believe the implantation of chips may be the fulfillment of The Mark of the Beast, prophesied to be a requirement for buying and selling, and a key element of the Book of Revelation. In Judaism, Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform Jewish beliefs hold that that cutting, piercing or marking the flesh, a requirement for implantation, is contrary to the notion that people were made "in the image of God", and the orders in Leviticus 19:28. Islam also considers body modifications "haram", an Arabic term meaning "forbidden", because they involve changing the body, a creation of God. The health risks associated with implantable microchips described above may also invoke Islamic prohibitions.
Édifié sur une implantation romaine, au pied du versant nord de la Montagne Sainte-Victoire, le château dépendra des comtes de Provence puis de l’Église d'Aix. Il est lié à la mémoire du fameux Roi René, qui donnera le château et ses terres en 1474 à son médecin personnel, Pierre Robin d'Angers. Le domaine, par le mariage de François de Clapiers avec Marguerite de Séguirand en 1548, appartiendra pendant deux siècles et demi à la famille de Clapiers. Deux ans après la grande peste de 1720, pour remercier Joseph de Clapiers, consul d'Aix, de son dévouement pendant la contagion qui décima les populations, le roi Louis XV érige les terres de Vauvenargues en marquisat2.
Le château, vendu en 1943, est dépouillé de son mobilier et passera entre diverses mains, notamment par celles de l'Association pour la gestion des œuvres sociales de la Marine, avant d'être acheté en septembre 1958 par Pablo Picasso2, dans le parc duquel il est enterré aux côtés de Jacqueline Picasso. Le château est propriété des descendants de cette dernière.
Il fait l'objet d'une inscription à l'Inventaire supplémentaire des monuments historiques par arrêté du 15 janvier 1929

Two weeks ago I had two cardiac surgical procedures. I was on the operating table for four hours.
The first procedure was an atria flutter ablation to kill the misfiring cells in the upper atrial chambers that were making my heart race at about 107 beats per second (BPS.). The operation was successful. However, when the lower chambers took over, the pulse was weak, only 20 BPS. A second surgical procedure was needed to implant a pacemaker.
Fortunately this second procedure was also successful.
I have almost recovered completely. My heart rate in bed is about 60 BPS. When moving around or sitting, my heart rate is about 72 BPS.
I am very lucky. Praise The Lord🙏 And Pass The Ammunition🚀
Foto com duas belíssimas igrejas localizadas na Praça Minas Gerais, em Mariana, cidade que foi a primeira vila, cidade e capital do estado de Minas Gerais, no sudeste brasileiro. Com cerca de 60 mil habitantes, a economia local depende principalmente do turismo e da extração de minérios.
À esquerda, em estilo rococó, que constitui uma etapa posterior, na evolução do barroco mineiro, está a Igreja de São Francisco de Assis, que começou a ser edificada em 1763, com projeto arquitetônico, risco da portada e elementos ornamentais como púlpitos, retábulo-mor, lavabo e teto da capela-mor da lavra de Antônio Francisco Lisboa, o Aleijadinho, e pinturas de Manuel da Costa Ataíde. Os dois artistas, nascidos respectivamente em Vila Rica (hoje Ouro Preto), e Vila do Carmo (hoje Mariana) são considerados os dois mais importantes nomes da arte colonial brasileira. À época que a igreja foi construída, Mariana vivia o ápice da sua história, por isso a magnitude da construção em diversos sentidos (tamanho, detalhamento, peças de ouro). A construção é um marco religioso, social, artístico da cidade e do estado.
À direita a Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, também em estilo rococó, começou a ser construída em 1784, tendo como encarregado o mestre pedreiro português Domingos Moreira de Oliveira, cujos sucessores terminaram o templo em 1835. Para o reconhecido historiador e crítico de arte Germain Bazin, é um dos mais belos templos rococó de Minas Gerais.
Embora tenha planta retangular, com capela única, apresenta traços de originalidade: as torres cilíndricas, modelo recentemente introduzido em Minas, são implantadas em recuo em relação à fachada. A capela-mor tem forro abobadado, com uma rosácea de arremate. O altar-mor tem refinada talha dourada rococó, com projeto do padre Félix Antônio Lisboa, meio-irmão de Aleijadinho, e erguido entre 1797 e 1819, mas só recebeu o dourado em 1826 por Francisco Xavier Carneiro.
