Is E Learners A Scam?
The 28th of October it will be 76 years of the death of Colombian cartoonist Ricardo Rendón, one of the most Featured American photojournalists who committed suicide on October 28, 1931 in Bogotá. For this, the invited Rionegro XIV International Cartoon Festival "Ricardo Rendon". Those interested in participating in the Festival can be directed to the official website of the same. Cartoonists will be awarded two free theme and two trade issue. View call. To pay our tribute, we invite other major Colombian and Latin American character, the philosopher of Otraparte, Fernando Gonzalez, who wrote an excellent description of one with whom he shared a table in the unforgettable Panida group. The text we have taken and
Otraparte
His work is not, therefore, picture, portrait or reproduction, unless it could be said that the son is the mother.
eyes look, the hand learns ways to lines and colors and artisan makes portraits, self portraits or reproductions, there is no pregnancy, no birth or appearance. Is mechanical. Is voluntary. Difference between seeing and looking. It has nothing to do with motherhood of genius.
Ricardo Rendon was a god. How beautiful elongated eyes and a smile that was his real face!
When we are young, do not know. Air we do not know but when we sink into the water. Ricardo Rendon did not know what it was, but when the sky was tenant, and that was when he killed himself.
not know! Around in cafes, on scraps of paper, one, two, three, four stripes and some shadows ... If it was so easy!
There goes the girl strong and agile on the fiery horse, and master it, and how funny his arms, and breasts and thighs. But do not know what it is, know that with every movement recreates the world and we are surprised with the delivery of unique phenomenon.
How do you know what we are, if everything becomes easily? And how can we ignore what is not, if you can not?
While creating, neither he nor anyone else knew who he was.
Ricardo Rendón observed in the following: First
. "I could not voluntarily exercise, such as artisans. The time of the birth mother surprises.
Segundo. "He worked so easily, producing in the audience the feeling of" it is not grace. " Also feature delivery. Third
. "In none of his works can be said that the secret is in that feature or line. Is in all and ignores what it is. Uniqueness. Fourth
. "It was idiot for practical life and society: mad.redeat sanguis ImaginiQuinto. "Generosity unconscious of goods and people. Unconsciousness of genius. Sixth
. He was smiling and expressed through the eyes. Eyes mouth. Seventh
. "It made sense of remoteness. I could not familiar. The exception monstrous genius.
Digging in its people, is no explanation of his genius. We explain what is below.
His brother is a Mercury Medellin, who supposedly has "Rendon's trunk", as that was left this medellinita hijuela, charity Catholic capitalist exercised it on their own and their pale image: Non vain
...
never heard him speak of his works to defend or explain.
artisans is complain and blame, because as voluntarily produce and trade, they feel that their struggle should correspond appreciation. So curse of "commercial environment, Philistine, etc.
But the animal that gives birth is captured entirely by the child, which is never a means but an end in itself. Artist whiny and picky, which works out to the streets, as well as some beggars to their daughters, or it has been or is the genie died because of misery. Cursedtalk about his work! Do have to explain? If successful, the goodness is in the speech. Does admiration? If the rise was the keynote speaker.
Rendon earned money, and is very good because it's the law. The artwork has no price. To those not paid by birth, is born necessarily, is an appearance.
price is paid to sell things born to be appropriated. For example, to do portraits and landscapes to sell, sell colors placed by him in certain ways. But no child is born.
I do not know what day or year was Rendón, nor the house. Those who knew the people ignore the dates and exact locations, but once they die and become "glorious," "know" is to know what day and what time you were born and died, and the order of the works, and the house, bed and rest.
boy was pale, stocky and almost tall, shy, he did caricatures of people out there Medellín from 1915 to 1919, he went to Bogota and there for about ten years, gave Colombian eternity at that time . One day he committed suicide and said it was a great man misunderstood. Exercised his vanity about his vain image. What Medellín and Bogotá burn or not to have had Rendón? Burned and yet very well that only gave five dollars ($ 5.00) for "caricature."
Two times is therefore in the art of Rendon. The youth, in Medellin, which was to create the kinds of people very definite Colombian leprosy and future at once admirable and repugnant, and the time in Bogota, in which he breathed life a few years of what it called Patria history in public schools.
artisans and common people-the human race is mob-think cartoon is the increase of that which is disharmonious in figuration.
The cartoon is to make apparent the disturbance that took the form of animal or event.
The cartoonist is the seer of sins are men or events. Contemplating
Bobo
Marcos Rendon Tangles or have the notions of genial idiot idiot. Seeing Medellin Gordo rendoniano have the notion of profit wrapped in Catholic charity. El Gordo School of Mines is the notion of high scam. How easy! The touchstone of artistic work is the production of the feeling of ease, freedom of gravity (clumsiness). The cartoon is, therefore, the exposure of the hidden will in contrast to the sham. The subject is stripped, leaving his clothes. Hence the irony.The smile comes from the contrast of the will beloved (vanity) and the biological will of the figure. General Berrío
rendoniano is huge fight between the heavy belly and head glandiform, which simulate the will to power, and the real will, which is the humus, tubers. Suárez rendoniano
The seminarian is a sin cane wrapped in sanctities.
The cartoon belongs, like all ironic, anti-social arts. Rendon was immoral.
Today, when the engineer has covered the earth's crust of common people (Homo Politicus, socialism), not the warning that the cartoons do not think we have to lie but Leonardo, Rendon and some non-French Vichy Ah Papon old Marshal Petain! Furthermore, this journal Yankees and countless other Americas are dolls that are abused hairs, nose or forehead.
not too much to add that I must not confuse his genius with South America eco misleading: There is a Goethe, who lived in Germany, and there is another, Manizales, is a Don Quixote in Sierra Morena and another ... Ecuador, a certain Montalvo, there Simón Bolívar There Bolivarian societies: the world is full of ... those! Rendón, committed suicide saturated with them, paid with his life the privilege of living in the Americas, the drool of the Americas.
Where are you, Ricardo Rendón? Judge
Fraud I am in Medellin| tentacles burst through the window as the female octopus or leaning. These say "I was behind, smelling them in small sips, walked behind them, it is true, boy, young and old, my eyes searched them, the elastic curve, bleeding mouths looking for the emergence of the flesh. very old, I dreamed I live rub: Magical answer you now! but whoreson Not a corpse? ... |
The precise argentinismo vulgar, is used here to give emphasis to the contempt for the spirits tables inseparable from trembling. What poverty beyond!

- Dressed in jeans and shirt, three-day beard and tousled hair sport almost to his shoulders, Sergio Fajardo looks every inch of himself to the nonconformist mathematician who spent years taking a doctorate at the University of Wisconsin. But that's past life for Mr. Fajardo, the mayor of this city and the son of one of the most famous architects. Now he insists on an unconventional political philosophy that has returned to Medellin in a shaft of architectural creation.
"Our most beautiful buildings," said Mr. Fajardo, 51 years old "should be in the poorest areas.
With this simple idea, Mr. Fajardo hired renowned architects to design luxury assembled libraries and other public buildings in the more marginal parts of the city. Their eccentric shapes - one resembles an immense blackened loaf of bread cut in half - occupy areas where hundreds of players before fighters were killed in Colombia's war on cocaine for years. Years ago, residents say, a tenuous peace was imposed by paramilitary drug traffickers rather defeated their Ribal.
Now
Medellín is no longer stigmatized as one of the most violent cities in the world.
This city of nearly two million people had 29 homicides per 100 thousand inhabitants in 2006, a huge difference when compared to the 381 homicides in 1991 in a population of 100 thousand people.
Elected in 2003 as an independent and leading a growing economy and a significant decline in violent crime, Mr. Fajardo turned the city into a model for the new education and development.

. Increased public spending in the city in education by putting 40% of the annual budget of Medellin that is U.S. $ 900 million, while it also has increased spending on public transport projects and loans small business development. Five new libraries are central to social policy, but Mr. Fajardo is also building a science center and dozens of schools, while expanding public transportation by building up neighborhoods metrocable popular in the hills of the city. He argues that the poor will develop the skills necessary to compete through investment in education and creating new public spaces, reflecting a faith in architecture in order to achieve the goal.
"Fajardo holds a long commitment to putting the state presence in areas that for years were ignored," says Aldo Civico, who directs the Center for International Conflict Resolution at Columbia University and has largely devoted to the topic of violence in Medellín. "You have to start a process of transformation somewhere."
Many parts of Medellín remain far from idyllic. Police officers with assault weapons and wearing fatigues still patrol many parts of the city. In the center, just steps from the elegant plaza filled with voluptuous sculptures by another native son of the city, Fernando Botero, street children are doped with glue and dose of cocaine. Some in Medellín whisper that Diego Fernando Murillo, the paramilitary leader known as Don Berna, still controls much of the city from his prison cell in the nearby city of Itagui. Others say drug profits in the boom wash building and construct apartments and shopping accompanying commercial architectural reconstruction of the mayor.
However, the transformation of Mr. Fajardo Medellín has captivated the city and, by implication, other parts of Colombia. His popularity is at 80%, making it the most popular mayor in the country and makes it potentially as a presidential candidate at the end of the mandate of this year.
"Performs a redistribution of wealth without a speech sophist," says Hector Abad Faciolince, a prominent novelist and national political commentator. "If Medellín can not take this challenge, then What will happen? "
comes from the department of Antioquia, whose capital is Medellín. He and Mr. Fajardo were educated in the city by the Benedictine monks. But Mr. Fajardo has a rigid separation of the conservative policies of Mr. Uribe, the closest ally of the Bush administration in South America.
Mr. Fajardo, however, favors a debate over legalizing drugs, a rather unconventional position in a nation that leads the world export of cocaine. A personal decision like going to live with his companion, Lucrecia Ramírez (near the home of the Archbishop of Medellin), has brought harsh criticism from leaders of the Catholic Church.
Ms. Ramírez is a psychiatrist who prefers the title of "first woman" to "first lady" and leads an effort by possessions models fashion events Medellín. She also challenged beauty pageants with alternative contests that reward knowledge of science, literature and business.
Not everyone in Medellín, which despite of his history of drug trafficking is considered one of the most culturally traditionalist Colombia, agrees with the projects carried out by either Ms. Ramírez or Mr. Fajardo. Old villas and trees are down and critics say the new marketing is like Miami or Caracas.
.
Some point to his taste for expensive public works seem massive pyramids or cubes of abstraction.
"Fajardo is our pharaoh," said Jaime Alonso Carvajal, a member of the Environmental Collective, a group that led protests against the tough mayor's decision to build pastel-colored pyramids along a major avenues that cost about $ 500 thousand. "cementing is to Medellin to turn it into a fucking dust."
Mr. Fajardo says he welcomes such protests, viewing them as part of the creation of the city where people can discuss everything that has to do with their economic circumstances. "It's a breakthrough for our society that people feel safe enough to express anything about me in any part of this city," he said during an interview as he walked through the center of Medellin. "And as to the forms - he says - I'm still a mathematician. I love geometric forms. "
Spain through the lens of bcrp77
. 's masterpiece of Mr. Fajardo's strategy lies in the foothills of Santo Domingo Savio, a popular sector in which they live 170 000 people. Visitors take the metro from downtown then connect to metrocable that leads to Santo Domingo. From there walk on steep roads up to the Spain Library Park designed by Giancarlo Mazzanti. There, boosted by gray brick blocks, a rectangular structure that looks like the ruins of a medieval citadel and includes a library, auditorium, Internet rooms, day care center and art gallery.
This is surprising to those who live in different ways in its shadow. Yasmin Henao, a lady of 30 who lives with her husband and three children in a timber tuburio, said he has doubts enter. "I saw guards at the entrance," said Ms. Henao in an interview at his home. "I do not know if this is a place for me."
Nearby, Jaime Quizeno, a mechanic, offered another perspective when the evening starts to fall into the hillside. "It seems like a huge nuve when illuminated at night," says 63-year Quizeno a smile.
"A beautiful thing, right here among us"

What Will Cause A Blister On Buttocks?

The evening of August 15, 2007 will go down in history as one of Peru's most dramatic history. The country was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 and a duration of 210 seconds (about two minutes) at 18:40:57. The fire killed more than 500 people, more than 1800 wounded and 17 000 homes destroyed with a population of 80 000 victims. He was one of the most violent earthquakes in South America and the tsunami warning shot that ended up in the air the Chilean coast, Ecuador, Colombia and Costa Ricans. When Peru trembles, shakes South America and there are many reasons for this. Who is Peru in the continent? Someone who has a lot to count. By Al Rodas
" whose capital, the first major South American capital, was Cuzco. As if this were not enough, is in Peru where there are traces of the oldest city in the Americas, Caral
as old as one of the oldest cities in Asia, Africa or Europe. Centuries before the birth of the political and economic project of the Mercosur and the Andean Community Peru was the first experience of continental unity in a territory that stretched from southern Colombia to Chile and Argentina.
of the Incas to the English
The Cathedral of Lima, Peru Destination
. While the Inca empire was subdued by the English conquistadors in the early sixteenth century, Peru has not lost during the colonial privilege of leading political headquarters on the continent. Lima was literally the capital of all South America, in what was called the Viceroyalty of Peru and its domains ranging from Panama to Tierra del Fuego than that belonged to Venezuela the Royal Audience of Santo Domingo. Lima was the Madrid of the continent and it would give special features to how it would be to develop. Although the English Crown established the Viceroyalty of New Granada linking the northern areas of South America and the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata which linked the southern territories, the Viceroyalty of Peru continued to be the hub of the South-dominated English. If you look closely, the independence of Peru was belatedly came in from both ends, first with the Argentine general José de San Martín, who declared the Republic in 1821 and then the general Simón Bolívar Venezuelan who sealed it in 1824 defeating the last remnants Iberians. Born that way the Republic of Peru, a new nation who would have to have an experience as one of the earliest civilizations with a powerful political organization and later as a main structure of the European colonial apparatus. But such a history would also make the country at the center of conflicts with its neighbors brothers. In 1879 Chile declares war on a fact in which he was involved in 1930, Bolivia and Colombia would be the hero when the two countries enter a war for hegemony in the Amazon region and in which Colombia has lost part of its territory forestal que se vería reducido hasta el río Putumayo.
Cuán cerca están Colombia y Perú
Las tres fronteras: Perú, Colombia y Brasil. Foto de
Edhi . Para un observador externo a ambos países la cercanía física es obvia, debido a que comparten 1.626 kilómetros de frontera, definida en el Tratado Lozano-Salomón de 1922. La frontera se encuentra en la selva del Amazonas y debido al poco desarrollo de la región en ambos países, la carencia de vías apropiadas y la poca población, hace que en ambos países se tenga la sensación de que están muy lejos el uno del otro. Si you are in Colombia and wants to go by land to Peru, Ecuador necessarily have to cross, although the departments of Putumayo and Amazonas bordering the country and unless you want to live a jungle adventure. However, we refer to an alleged trip from Bogota to Lima, because otherwise, the region is visited by tourists, especially through the navigation on their rivers in a river corridor of intense activity. Without doubt, the border is also a center of smuggling and intense space of illicit crops, which they do know and make the most of the common border of the two South American nations. A country long twin
Despite the apparent gap between the two countries, the contemporary history of Colombia and Peru have many similarities. For example, the country went through a dark Inca social crisis in the last decades of the twentieth century, characterized by the prominence of the Shining Path guerrillas and the Tumac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. While national infrastructures weakened guerrillas planted the anxiety and terror as an instrument of armed struggle, the country became one of the worst economic crisis in history during the government of Alan García Pérez. Inflation reached the surprising núemero of 7,649% over 1990. The country's history change radically with the advent to power of Alberto Fujimori, a descendant of Japanese immigrants, who conducted an auto-coup by closing the Congregation and apply the so-called policy of economic shock. The new regime seized the guerrilla leaders and significantly reduced its actions, but Fujimori was notable also famous for corruption, especially of National Intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos. While Fujimori undertook major economic reforms, especially after his reelection in 1995, could not provide a way out of recession. After Fujimori resigned the presidency on a tour from Japan because serious allegations of corruption, was the turn of Alejandro Toledo Manrique, who continued the business model initiated by his predecessor. Currently governing the country which Alan García Pérez continued economic program and has had economic achievements such as lower inflation and better growth, but according to a survey by Ipsos Apoyo
held last June As results, only 32% of Peruvians supported their president, making it the least popular president in Latin America. Although the poverty level dropped three points in the last year in regions such as Lima and coastal areas, the fact is that certain regions of the country remain under the same conditions of poverty. According to The Economist
, poverty increased in Apurimac and Ayacucho. According
Institute of International Finance, Peru is currently the third fastest economy growth in Latin America after Argentina, whose growth is ranked as the best in the region with 7.2%, second to Venezuela 7.0%, Peru in third place with 5.5%, Colombia in fourth place with 5.4%, Chile in fifth with 5.0%, Brazil in sixth place with 3.8% and Mexico in seventh with 3.5%. As shown, Peru and Colombia kept a very close relationship and while the projection for 2008 will be a decrease of the growth in Latin America, this is partly the shock normal economic adjustment is living in the region in general.
Although they seem distant, in fact Colombia and Peru have always gone together in what is economies to the world. The best case is the ongoing negociasiones with the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) which meets in Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. In this process, the two South American countries go together. But that is only a button: Peru is part of the Andean Community
, a key element in a possible integration Latin American economic well-designed, although the CAN (as it is known) has gone through its critical moments. Similarly, Peru handles a FTA with the U.S. and CAN have relations with Mercosur. According
The earthquake in Peru South American fire alerts not only for a possible tsunami had washed the shores of South American countries in the Pacific, but the alarm of solidarity with a nation without which America would not be the same. Colombia, with Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Ecuador, Brazil and Bolivia, was among the first to come to the aid of the earth trembled harsh blinding sister who lives and sowing desolation. That land was the ancestral glory of an empire which no light dies, as the dynasties of Egypt and still have many secrets to reveal to Latin American integration, so essential to the progress of our peoples.

Chistian Meier is Peruvian and one of the most popular male actors in American television today. It was especially known in Colombia as the star of the telenovela La Tormenta next to Venezuelan actress Natalia Streignard, in the role of Santos Torrealba, a character in the Colombian Eastern Plains or the Venezuelan Llanos, although the show was completely surrounded in Colombia.
In a close final, perhaps most of the few who was in Cali, Joseph managed to win a swift and dangerous Saggiorato Luca, who for little surprised by the center in a major attempt in the end not reached to snatch seventh Mantia gold medal. The American gave the fight without Saggiorato frenzy while trying Zangarini Fracesco surprise by the inner side of the road. It was part of the strategy, but the great champion had the strength to prevail in a photo finish result needed to define it.
