7/6/2023 0 Comments Juan pablo escobar![]() ![]() “I spent half my life in Colombia as Juan Pablo and the other half here as Sebastián so I feel I’ve learnt from both places and I feel part of both. He left his homeland aged 16 and although he doesn’t sound obviously Colombian, he also has no distinctive Argentine accent either. Sebastián has returned twice to Colombia: once to meet the Galán brothers and second, for the premiere. The only thing that remained was to advance and share with the next generation what has happened.” “We were still exposed when we changed our identity and residency and when your secret place is no longer secret, and neither is your name, that led me to realise that there is nothing left to hide. I always wanted to find another way of telling it - not so I was putting my father on a pedestal - but so we become aware of it so it doesn’t happen again. “So I wanted to tell the story but not more of the same in which they simply tell the story and don’t leave you with a message. But I think everything happens for a reason with specific synchrony. I’ve never hidden what has happened to me from anyone, but I realised this would give a vision to other families who have suffered at the hands of violence. “Nicolás in fact called me a year before and I said’ no’. And that’s when I thought this story could have an interesting turn.”īy the children, he is referring to Rodrigo Lara Restrepo and the Galán brothers, Juan Manuel, Carlos and Claudio, sons of the murdered politicians who meet Sebastián for the first time in Pecados. “But Nicolás suggested telling the story from the children’s point of view, not just mine, so as to integrate everybody else’s point of view. So I’ve always said ‘no’ to those kinds of proposals. I never agreed with that idea because it seemed the opposite message to the lifestyle that I’ve chosen to lead. “I’ve rejected lots of money-making projects because they glorified the gangster style and image of my father. Saying that “everybody thought it logical I would become ‘Escobar 2.0’,” Sebastián is now an architect, married and based in Palermo. Preferring to be interviewed in Spanish as “we are talking about very delicate subject matter and I might not be able to communicate the correct message if I don’t do it in my language,” Sebastián Marroquín, as Juan Pablo is now known, is polite, calm and maintains eye contact throughout. And 16 years on, after countless proposals, Escobar’s son has finally agreed to share his memories in Pecados de mi padres (Sins of My Father), a documentary by Argentine director Nicolás Entel, in the hope of ending the violence in Colombia. To cut to the end, the family moved to Mozambique but ended up in Argentina. ![]() Following his 1993 death after a prolonged effort from the Colombian military, US special forces and death squad Los Pepes, Victoria Henao Vallejos, Juan Pablo Escobar and Manuela Escobar, respectively the drug baron’s wife, son and daughter, fled the country. ![]() Thousands of people died due to the lucrative-beyond-your-wildest-dreams turf war while 10 percent of Colombia’s population remains displaced.īut until now, a word has never been publically uttered about Escobar by the people closest to him: his family. Responsible for years of bloodshed between rival cartels and the kidnapping and killing of dozens politicians and journalists (Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla and Luis Carlos Galán, presidential candidate on the verge of election, were just two of his victims), at one time Escobar was said to be responsible for 80 percent of the cocaine entering the US. The intriguing 2001 biography of how the small-time car thief from Medellín became a millionaire criminal capable of bringing his government to its knees has predictably gone the same way as Black Hawk Down - a Hollywood version starring Christian Bale is set for release in 2011. Until now, Mark Bowden’s Killing Pablo, a North American author who also penned Black Hawk Down, has been the authoritative guide to the life and demise of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. ![]()

In this week’s podcast, we discuss his ideas of Capitalism, memes and mind viruses – notably the idea of the Wetiko – and what the antidotes might be. He is also a co-founder of Tierra Valiente, a post- capitalist community in northern Costa Rica. TR started in 2012 as a time-bound project and an experiment in anarchist organizational design, exploring new ways of how to work, play and make trouble together.Īlnoor comes from a Sufi lineage and explores/writes about the intersection between politics and spirituality in troubled times. He was the co-founder and Executive Director of The Rules (TR), a global network of activists, organizers, designers, coders, researchers, writers and others focused on changing the rules that create inequality, poverty and climate change. What if we could see the nature of the stories that drive us, how would we be? Would we be able to change them? And what would we want in their place? This week, Alnoor Ladha, mystic, visionary, activist and regenerative farmer explores the four ways to change the world.Īlnoor’s work focuses on the intersection of political organizing, systems thinking and narrative work.

We want every last oil and gas pipe removed from her body. “We are fighting for our rights as the Indigenous peoples of this land we are fighting for our liberation, and the liberation of Unci Maka, Mother Earth. We are not fighting for a reroute, or a better process in the white man’s courts,” Allard wrote in a 2017 op-ed titled, “ To save the water, we must break the cycle of colonial trauma.”Īllard also advocated for the protection of sacred Indigenous land around the world, notably standing in solidarity with Kanaka Maoli to protect sacred Mauna Kea in Hawaii in 2019. “This movement is not just about a pipeline. People from all over the world including citizens of Indigenous nations flocked to the camps at Cannonball, North Dakota, in support of that mission.Īllard was an annual speaker at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and was a published writer in The Guardian, and Yes! Magazine. Standing Rock grew to become a symbol of a global movement calling attention to the role continued reliance on fossil fuel plays in increasing climate change and the importance of protecting water on the planet. It was the first of several water protector camps aimed at opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline project. Thus, the Sacred Stone Camp began on Allard’s land in 2016 at the confluence of Cannonball and Missouri Rivers. “Someone suggested we start a camp all of a sudden LaDonna said, ‘Hey, I’ve got some land.’” ![]() “Juanita Lock, Josephine Thunder Shield, Honor Ata Defender, Waste Young and a handful of others met in LaDonna’s basement to talk about what we should do about the pipeline,” Braun said. Initial resistance to the pipeline began in Allard’s basement according to Joye Braun of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe in a 2017 Indian Country Today interview. “Even when she was sick, she told us she’d be with us in spirit she told us not to be sad for her but to continue the fight.” “Her son told us that LaDonna heard us chanting and knew we were there outside her house,” White said. The signs read, “We love you LaDonna” and “Water is Life,” according to White. Shortly before Allard died, Indigenous youth enroute to a rally in Fort Berthold opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline, stopped by her house placing banners and signs in her yard. “LaDonna is the one who got the youth fired up to fight the pipeline,” White said. The Standing Rock Sioux citizen was 64 years old. ![]() LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, water protector, tribal historian and founder of the Sacred Stone Camp at Standing Rock died on Apafter a long battle with brain cancer. “LaDonna dedicated her life to the protection of the water she never stopped that fight all the way up until the day she died,” White said. White is a citizen of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nations. ![]() LaDonna Brave Bull Allard was a catalyst igniting the global movement opposing construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline across her people’s lands.Īs the tribal historic preservation officer for the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, Allard alerted people to the impending plans for construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, according to Kandi Mossett White, a member of the leadership team with the Indigenous Environmental Network.

7/5/2023 0 Comments Parsnips and carrots![]() I made a few changes to the recipe which is why I'm not rating it, but I really do like this recipe and will reuse it. I will make this again, but next time I'll probably finish it in the oven. Tasted good, though - and today I sauteed the leftovers with some garlic and shallots before combining with leftover chicken stock and half-n-half in the blender to make a lovely soup. Tried to double this recipe for a Thanksgiving crowd - I probably should have made it in batches, as even my largest skillet didn't allow for proper caramelizing. I prepared it in advance and glazed it just before serving. A great way to use up that last sprig of rosemary hiding in the bottom of the veggie drawer. I cooked the parsnips and carrots separately, as 2 pounds is a lot to fit in even the largest skillet to brown.Ĭandy for dinner. ![]() Make sure not to stir too much, or the vegetables get mashed. Wonderful! I am planning on using this technique and glaze on other vegetables. I only had carrots and it was good just with those. There is another recipe on this site for parsnips and carrots with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar which I prefer. Cutting it up into matchsticks was time consuming. I did follow previous reviewers suggestions and sauteed the parsnips first and then the carrots which I think helped it cook evenly. A great recipe to have if you get a lot of carrots and parsnips in your CSA! However, it is absolutely DELICIOUS and I can't wait to serve it tomorrow at Thanksgiving. The pan I used was a 12-inch pan and though it's one of my bigger pans, next time I'd go whole-hog and get out the largest pan I have - this took more than twice as long to cook. I also followed the tip to cook the carrots longer than the parsnips. YUMMY!!īesides the fact that I made this with more carrots than parsnips, I made this with the exact noted ingredients. When both carrots and parsnips were browning, but not yet cooked enough, I added some chicken stock. As suggested, I did saute the carrots first and when I added the parsnips, I also added a finely diced clove of garlic. I cut the carrots and parsnips into coins and half/quarter them as needed to achieve veggies about the same size. I learned it back in 2010 when my husband had open-heart surgery (we've come a long way). Any left can be popped back in the freezer for another day.I just love this recipe. It will keep for months and can be grated from frozen on the coarse side of a box grater. TIP: store fresh root ginger in the freezer, wrapped in a freezer bag. Serve scattered with roughly chopped flat leaf parsley if you like. Roast near the top of the oven for 30-40minutes until patched with brown – give them a stir half way through to make sure they cook evenly. Add the ginger and honey, 1/2tsp salt and mix with your hands until well coated. Spread the vegetables out in a baking tray and dribble with the olive oil. Preheat the oven to 220C (this is flexible – if you are roasting the meat at another temperature, that will be fine – the veg will just take a little longer, or less long to cook.) Onion: peel and cut into eight wedges through the root. Cut into fat batons about a 1 ½ cm thick at their broadest.Ĭauliflower: Break into florets the size of a ping pong ball. Carrots and Parsnips: scrub them (I see no need to peel them, but it’s up to you), trim and cut in half crossways. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Evernote pdf expert for mac![]() I hate having to go back to windows to be able to OCR the files, and when those files are on iCloud it takes a while for them to be reflected on my Mac.

"t-clausen.dk"! What is an "ISO Week Number"?Ĭalendars are a real pain in the patooti, especially for businesses, mostly because the calendar year can start on any day of the week. The purpose of this article is to not only share this wonderful find but to also explain how it works and to express my appreciation to the author of a really fine bit of SQL prestidigitation. Here's the link to the thread that had me trying to flatten out the high spots on my head: (look for the entry by "t-clausen.dk") What I found was an absolutely brilliant and simple formula that had me banging my head on my desk and yelling "It's SO simple! Why didn't I think of that!?" I have to tell you, it was it a bit like hitting a lottery. ![]() I had looked at several of the "iSF capable" functions and was just about to settle on using one of them but decided to look at just one more post. Yes, I know that SQL Server 2008 and up has a wonderful ISO_Week DATEPART that can be used to return the ISO Week Number as an integer, but what about folks (like me) still "stuck" with SQL Server 2005 or less? I say "very fortunately" because I couldn't believe my good luck with what I found. I wanted one that I could use as a high performance "iSF" (Inline Scalar Function) like the one I had built. Very fortunately for me, I had misplaced my previously written T-SQL solution to solve for ISO Week Numbers and decided to do a quick web search to find one instead of trying to find my own. How to build a “Broadcast Calendar” will have to wait until another article, though, because I found something else that’s very cool. SELECT was working on a thread that asked how to create a "Broadcast Calendar" ( ) and, to make a much longer story shorter, it dawned on me that I might be able to solve the problem using a calculation similar to an "ISO Week Number" calculation. The modifications only cause a scant increase of a dozen or so milliseconds over a million row test so it's still a competitor with the ISOWEEK date-part of SQL Server 2008 and up and still works in earlier versions. Here's that code and that's the one I recommend that you use if you have the need (< SQL Server 2008). SELECT verified the modified formula and made an additional optimization that removed one of the additions which saves a bit on CPU time. I found the fix and that was to add the difference in dates to the "base date" instead of using the difference in dates as a date serial number. I had the article taken "offline" until I could fix it and test it. This works just fine for dates greater than or equal to because that difference in days matches SQL Server's underlying date serial numbers but it doesn't work correctly for dates that have a date serial number less than 0 (). The problem is with "Step 3 – Convert the Date Serial to the "Day of the Year" where a difference in days is used in the calculation instead of the actual date. ![]() The original formula has a problem that I didn't originally test for and, that is, if you use the formula for dates earlier than, the calculation of the correct ISOWeek is by chance rather than by plan. This article is no exception and I thank Peter Larsson who discovered that there was a problem. I've made no changes in the article starting with the "Introduction" because it still correctly describes the original formula written by "t-clausen.dk".Īs is the nature of this fine community, if there's a problem with something in an article, it is quickly ferreted out by those who participate in the discussion. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you haven’t treated yourself to the pleasure of 4 Pics 1 Word Game, you may be wondering how it works and why it’s such a grand success.Looking for answers to today's 4 Pics 1 Word challenge?
