Dividing Monstera Deliciosa

not enough to bridge

Puente Bicentenario

Much has been made of positive and negative impacts associated with the emplacement of a bridge linking the mainland and the island of Chiloé. I do not think so miss the culture, traditions and everything that characterizes the Chiloe, that has been lost already and it seems that no set limit on the bridge is an assimilation of the modes (of life, production, etc. .) inland city.

I support a bridge involving welfare of Chiloe. Therefore, the possibility of reducing the 40-50 minutes that today we can take to travel 3.1 miles. By sea on a voyage from 5 to 10 minutes it makes me more attractive, especially when it comes to urgent medical transfers. But are the conditions under which the project has been presented that I cause resentment. Basically, this is a bridge that will facilitate the entry of resource extraction industries that will drive the development of services that will eventually benefit the entire community. At least that is how markets should operate. These services will Chiloé an attractive center for the development of many economic activities, and where the economy works people come new work. Thus, it would lower the current state of social return has the island when framing major public works that are missing now: precarious establishments with all their windows installed without broken boards on the floor, with access to inputs, a health covering various fields and has the necessary equipment other than the transfer to Puerto Montt constant chilota hospital care. Of course, public management considers the number of individuals to determine the social profitability of projects specifically aimed at public services without taking into account the particular geographical area.

Sector roca Remolinos So Bridge offers a possibility that markets in the medium to long term, promote economic development based on services, which will attract new people up to the number that we qualify as socially beneficial. But if the markets do not work that way? What happens in the meantime? We are forced to travel to the mainland to aspire to a more complete health, we must migrate to achieve a better education, we depend on the regional capital for many steps yet.

So I am not convinced even the idea of \u200b\u200ba bridge, because of its high cost prevents public investment needed in Chiloé, to have better roads, better public buildings ready access to information and education.

I leave here the words of a group that played a long time, which makes a fast and furious diagnosis of what is and what is missing: Dale

Insular (Insulana)
So many years have
past and we have the same thing, forgotten, relegated
seems that no matter what happens to the people who inhabit this land.

Without a decent health and a complete education, prevent us from advancing
only promises a bridge that does not fix the problems that ruin our island

But now many people are beginning to wake up and do not accept this garbage
this force goes Seriously, the potatoes are burning, Chiloé rebels.


Unfortunately, there are strong voices in Chiloé that they hold political or economic powers, where the mayors are forcing their staff to leave their normal work activities to go to block access to the island.

Ultimately, I believe that the construction of a bridge implies benefits for Chiloe, but not now. Before missing a real willingness to integrate the island to the rest of the country, especially the inhabitants of the island, salmon are not the only investors who live in Chiloé. And that's not just a bridge of steel and concrete.

And for those who want know, yes, I am of Chiloé.

How long the death of a child? Perspecplejia

Technorati Tags: dead children, in Qana slaughter

¿Misiles? Every day we find new images of dead children on TV Internet or newspapers. And do not even have to look for them, they come to us. Children killed by diseases, domestic violence, living exposed to accidents, bombings, rape, removal of organs ...

Today I heard on the radio that an Israeli missile killed 57 people in Lebanon , 34 of them minors. Several children died yesterday, and yesterday as well. And year kills more than 5 million children from hunger and malnutrition.

In Congo, a country of just under 8 million, 600 children die every day violently because of the war taking place there. Also, Congo is the country with more child soldiers in the world: " more than 30,000 children are incorporated into armed groups."

UNICEF and WHO report that 11 million children die each year from preventable causes , mainly in poor countries due to poorly treated diseases.

And what's the big number? Yesterday I got a picture of a child killed in an airstrike, a fairly clean picture for many others I have seen: an only child on the floor covered with gray dust. But as I watched, almost operated on me I felt an evasion mechanism, to stop feeling as another being, stop comparing, for example, with my nephew or the son of a friend and get ready for all the new pictures to come. So, with that image, which lasted me a few seconds, I thought about how long the death of a child, how long it takes to forget that death and wait for the new batch of information fatal. Why the emphasis on children? As one sentence (do not know who), they are present. So what remains for the future?

How To Force Someone To Sleep

LinuxChix-Peru - Part III

Too bad I did not take an accurate log of incidents of each meets :-(. So I will comment on some, and perhaps lots of them ...

::: First met:::

was funny that on this occasion none of them knew personally, only via its first e-mails on the lists, I do know them all, so it was that day we sat presents and began to tell more precisely that it was the idea of \u200b\u200bthe 'call for the formation of a Linux users group of girls', making it clear we would not be (or are) a feminist group, much less that we are against male, nothing to do with decay, but our aim would be to encourage girls are also participants in the use of technologies, specifically GNU / Linux and generally everything related to free software.

The first meets and we were almost all that would form the core group of LinuxChix-Peru:
  • Patricia Salas Karina aka PathsLu
  • Karys
  • Villanes aka aka Ace
  • Angelin Venegas Sahm aka Sara Mostajo
  • Rocío Castillo aka Gabriela aka Chio
  • Gabbil
that day at the end of the meets I was very happy to see that this initiative was shared.

As initially had invited me to join the group, I was very fair that was why the invited, in agreement with all of them that if they believed and had friends that they knew they could be involved with the group, invited. It was so long before we expect to close the initial group training ... That was when they decided they did not want to integrate or another and were invited but did not receive any response he closed the group, by then joined the team:

  • aka Fabiola Pariona Dolphin and
  • aka Ninamango
  • Ysbelt Ysbelt

And so we are part of LinuxChix-Peru grupo_fundador


Last minute note: Ace just called me a couple of minutes and told me that on the page have a APESOL 'news' on the formation of the group and their next release ;-) wiii!.


[Adeene]: Jey! not fair I wanted to keep reading!, there's more to tell, that for the following post: IV

Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Buckle

born LinuxChix-Peru - Part II

:: Answers! :::
In the days of e-mails sent the idea took shape, I began to hear from the girls and agreed to join the group, except my dear Zibly friend who in a lengthy email I explained the reasons why she did not want to be part of a group of girls just as yours is to be in mixed groups, respect his point of view and thank you for having given count with her to expos and other activities.
* He added that initially the group consists of girls, but that does not exempt you guys ;-) also integrate


::: Lists:::

The first thing we did was create a list and start subscribing to chixs, at first I was just beginning to put ideas and initiatives, as soon as I had mentioned my dear friend Binary , quoting what he said: "Do not feel strange at first if only you the one writing, so it's a start ...". But that part for now things have changed and we are all participants in the generation of ideas, agreements and decisions.


::: Instead of meeting ... :::

The official place where until now there have been meetings LinuxChix-Peru is the apartment from Patricia (PathsLu), that is where today we have had productive and fun 10 ( one another boring) meetings on Friday afternoon. From here I thank Patty, and without a meeting place for the advancement and integration among us would not have been possible. Because while there are many media, in my opinion, there's nothing like talking to someone face to face and see their gestures, all to immediate questions or answers, and according to it select the best options.


::: E-mail LinuxChix-Peru:::

mail: linuxchix.peru_arroba_gmail.com blog is as true of the earlier agreements and blah, blah, all we blas contributed to the formation of the group through our list. There is all snifff even our first off-topics, Chio when we invited a sample of anime or agreements Birthday Chio and other Chixs.
...

[Adeene]: And of course there is also a third party.

Difference In Ultra Hd And Mino Hd

born LinuxChix-Peru - Part I

Logo which lacks some finishing touches: P

::: The idea:::

begins by presenting: I Sugasti aka Silvia Adeene, I'm using GNU / Linux, and together with some friends ( chixs ) from different universities, institutes and institutions we are building what will be: LinuxChix-Peru ;-).


How is it formed?

I started wondering why Peru also can not have your users group GNU / Linux in the style of LinuxChix-Brasil, Chicas Linux of Spain or international LinuxChix ? Why not encourage the use of GNU / Linux more girls? And there were always questions that haunted me every time I went to Linux user activity. Was that ended
FLISOL 2006 this idea took more force early May and started writing some girls who had known Linux users activities, all from different places and institutions.



::: Making a small sampling:::

One morning in APESOL channel, I saw Rudy and told him the group and I remember he was the only one who's idea at first seemed great, and that first impressions that causes a brief comment to some friends Linux users that "it would forming a girl group Linux users" was disintegrating them sounded like say, here and here blue pink but then I explained that this was not the idea and say, Mmm if it can not be


;-) And if I started commenting that the group is already being realized that GNU / Linux project, which I mentioned in a previous post, is already a reality. All this thanks to the girls who have put dynamic and vital being participants in the progress we are making clear and soon with new members that we are integrating news ...

During this time between meets and meets a lot has happened that I hope to count, although not carrying a log, but remember some interesting things that have arisen in this couple of months ....


[Adeene]: so what?? What more!. Course there's more! in a few days in Chapter II : P

Technorati Tags: disability , , wheelchair

I just saw part of the documentary Perspecplejia , Broadcast on Channel 13. This documentary was directed by journalist Daniel Albala, who became a paraplegic after participating in a traffic accident.

see ... this work shocked me. Regularly feed on disability and try to put myself in the place of those who live, especially as it has to do with city life and performance skills in a society very conflicted with the theme you are afraid, cause compassion, generosity, words of good breeding (and nothing else), it is intended charity, etc. In addition, we look at who can not walk, can not see, which is crossed with scars. But behind the obvious, of aesthetics, is a way to face the everyday from a perspective not usually seen. And this documentary does not talk about complicated medical diagnoses or what is lacking in legal matters to integrate into society those who suffer a disability, but shows the whole individual, facing a shower to a bowel movement, the movement in a house (imagine a wheelchair in some social housing).

Among the characters in this film there is no common discourse, everyone has lived their disabilities and their integration process in particular, what catches our attention when considering them and treating them. And these stories are supplemented with comments from people non-disabled people very different from one another whose views also differ. That is, they put together a collage of ideas, representations and very different perceptions.

The idea of \u200b\u200bthis documentary born from the need for the director to make contact with others in order to better cope with their new condition. And, at least in chapter I saw today, this is reflected in the dialogue with other able people who are going inducing about being disabled and live with it.

This program is being broadcast on Fridays at 23.00 hrs. by Channel 13.

Updated: From Saturday September 9, give it to 18.00 hrs. on Channel 13.

Pessoa: The Anarchist Banker

Technorati Tags: banker anarchist, books

sophism or fallacy calls an apparent rebuttal, refuting sophistry, and also an apparent syllogism, or sophistical syllogism, through which one wants to defend something false and mislead the contrary. (José Ferrater Mora, Dictionary of Philosophy Abridged)

The anarchist banker, a story of Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa, was first published in 1922 and is an amusing irony of anarchist ideology, leading to end its principles through an actor-banker, usurer-hoarder and that has its beginnings in political organizations, criticized his former colleagues for not spending beyond theory, anarchism has a particular sophistry based on arguments presented in a logical and intelligent, but crafty, are equally or more entertaining than the arguments of proponents of better world from the selective killing and coercion.

This text seems very entertaining and is armed as a dialogue between the banker and his friend, who talk non-stop, without losing the thread: how a banker is an anarchist, and how it ends up being an anarchist banker without betraying?

The story is short, I read it in a little book published in Argentina (I have not seen in Chile ... I have not searched, really), but is on the Internet, I imagine that it is complete.

Fear of

Technorati Tags: crime , laws

long time the crime as a phenomenon, has been in political recriminations and the editorial tone of media and today the fear of crime has been installed as a fundamental part of our concerns. Consequently, it is now seeking tougher penalties for those who commit crimes, but some proposals are intended to impact the media and public opinion rather than social welfare.

share to some extent the criticism of those who only seek the causes of crime, since the mere understanding does not help make our society more harmonious. But I am concerned about proposals that suggest limiting the rights of those detained in more than one occasion, they even serve to intimidate those who see crime as a way of life, also help make stronger the stigmatization of certain social sectors. It would be a legal right to not to assume the innocence of the accused, and I think that the results of the iron fist is balanced by the social costs of the accused suspect. And psychologists have had quite biased that support allegations of abuse in the legal medical service without rigor or right to doubt.

Meanwhile, police claimed to have been marginalized in this discussion. Sure, they are the arm of the law, but they manage data, concepts and interpretations that have been made by proponents of tough. For example, before a draft law that restricts the carrying of knives, that police told me that under no circumstances I can bring my pocket knife with me, but a Justice Ministry official called me kindly the first week of January (runoff elections ) to tell me I should just refrain from carry it in places where alcohol is consumed, but I have a reasonable excuse, such as daily use for peaceful purposes ... What about if I stop, what criteria police managed to determine that my reasonable justification, supported by the ministry official, not a crime? Then, it is irresponsible to require police applied a firm hand under complicated legal mechanisms if there is no communication between law and monitoring. On the other hand, is not soft hand required to police a fair, law-abiding and respectful of the population do not have enabled new areas of crime, as police are corrupt in many other places in the world.

But again, being consistent with the criticism of the presumption of guilt, and committed to understanding the role of police in our society, we must not forget the contribution of forces, for example, in the search and rescue, or the protection of children in some households. And his presence, if not reduce crime, at least reassures people. These actions demonstrate that there is a vocation of service to these officials, unfortunately, there are few episodes police abuse and arrogance, and there is a need for a harmonious integration relationship between civilians and military.

Returning to the fear of crime, Freedom and Development Institute in its report Crime: Fear on the Rise , says there are 17.4% of the population points a high fear of being victim of crime. Not so much when compared with the results Paz Ciudadana Foundation delivers on its Report 2005: Crime in Chile, Evolution and Challenges , where 37.7% of households surveyed had a victim of theft or attempted theft . They are also more who fear losing their job .

So, if we except those who are afraid of crime than those who have been victims of it, why the little theme is so recurrent? Really there are revolving doors, or do we have laws that deserve our MPs? Any justice administered by a soft hand hesitantly, or half justice trend which is applied a heavy hand? Related article
