Going To School Without Underwear

By: Felipe Argote

Since its founding in December 2007, Wikileaks has posted on its website a million two hundred thousand documents classified or secret. Much has to do with the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The largest volume was published on 28 November this year when the site reported 251.187 communications between the State Department and U.S. embassies around the world: most filtration secret documents of history.

Within this document was leaked communications that occurred between the former U.S. ambassador Barbara Stephenson and the Department of State of the United States around the issue of bidding for new locks macro expansion project of the canal. Some information for those who do not live in this country is shocking, as the vice Varela was against the expansion of the canal and went on to state that in three years would be that it was a failure. For those who live in Panama and see the shameful smear campaign in which shipped all the presidential candidates know that the current president Martinelli before allying with the Arnulfista Varela campaigned against precisely accusing them of having been against the expansion of the canal.

However the interesting thing about the reports of the embassy is the claim that the ambassador argued relentlessly that the U.S. company Bechtel Corporation won the contract for construction of the locks on the canal expansion seeking use the full weight of its political influence in order to be granted the concession. His goal, create indirect jobs in the United States to the unfortunate unemployment afflicting the country.

We must remember that Bechtel was the same who participated in the tender for the concession of the ports of Balboa and Cristobal finally won the Hong Kong company Hutchison Whampoa. On that occasion, after losing the Bechtel developed a multi-million advertising campaign in the United States saying that Panama had turned the channel to the Chinese. Such was the scandal to a Senate committee traveled to Panama to verify the accuracy of the claim, concluding that indeed only been given a concession the ports of Cristobal and Balboa, and not the Panama Canal in a tender where they said Bechtel had demonstrated ignorance of how business is done in the Third World. At that time the Hong Kong company made a proposal of the Bechtel doubled by the acquisition of port operations. The Hutchison is the largest operator in the world with 13% of global port operations. In its defense argued that Bechtel was awarded the contract for the traditional Panamanian-American friendship.

According to documents released by WikiLeaks the efforts of Ambassador Barbara Stephenson included contacts with consortia, the canal authority, the Martinelli government and to the independent consultant.

the end the tender was won by the consortium formed by English Sacyr-Valle Hermoso, Italy's Impregilo, Belgium's Jan de Mul and Constructora Urbana Panamanian who submitted a proposal to almost 1.000 million below the Bechtel . However, the embassy considered the possibility of contesting the grounds that Sacyr result was supported by the English government for the guarantees had been provided by Cesce, a unit of the English Ministry of Industry. Instead of Bechtel guarantees were given by the AIG, American International Group the leader in insurance and financial services worldwide, who pass was nationalized by the Federal Reserve of the United States September 17, 2008, when it bought 79% of its assets to avoid bankruptcy.

More shocking is the revelation that President Ricardo Martinelli asked the embassy nortemericana collaboration wiretapping against domestic political rivals and the leftist governments of the area. This request was accompanied by a list of political rivals seeking to intervene by telephone. This list was not disclosed. Wikileaks According to the report which is attributed to Ambassador Stephenson, is listed the political trend towards harassment and blackmail as very little of a statesman.

Wikileaks, it had become well known for the publication on April 5, a video where an Apache helicopter opens fire and kills a group of civilians including a Reuters reporter Namir Noor-eldeem, in assistant and nine other people and leaves others seriously injured including two children. The video was as secret material was taken from the same helicopter that shot the civilian group.

Since publication last November leaks wiki, wiki means quick in Hawaiian and leaks leak or drip, has been subjected to great pressure including amazon elimination host that harbored the deletion of your account on twitter, facebook, youtube, account visa, mastercard, paypal and others. One of the few who came to defend Wikileaks from the perspective of freedom of expression was the former president José Ignacio Lula de Silva of Brazil.

Wikileaks editor Julian Assange was recently jailed in England at the request of a Swedish prosecutor for rape, after being accused by a woman who had intercourse have had sex without using condom while she slept , sexual harassment does not insist on condom be contradicting his express desire to have used all his weight on it during one of her sex. He was released on bail after paying a substantial amount of money.

Wikileaks TRUE JOHN ONO LENNON CHRISTMAS

By: Felipe Argote

The Dwarf

Dionisio

A monk from the current date Romania invented Christmas and sitting on the current schedule a desk.

Prior to the use of the current calendar that supposedly started with the so-called "Anno Domini" or year of birth of Jesus the calendar was the calendar used Diocletian who ruled the Roman imprio during the years 244 to 311, which established in year 1 the first of its mandate. Before the Diocletian used the "Ad Urbe Condit" or the founding of Rome. This is about the year 753 BC

Falling Rome in the early fifth century this system fell into disuse. It was thought that creating a computing system to be imposed on the historical Pope John I gave instructions to a group of Scythian monks, to be located in the region Scythia in the territory of Dobrogea, to calculate the date of the birth of Christ. I did not want to use over the Roman calendar established by Diocletian, who was the biggest persecutor of Christians.

Fibonnacci

instructed monks Scythian monk named Dionysius dwarf to perform the calculation. Would be located in the historic moment to realize that this was not exactly easy computation in a time when Europe was unknown zero. This important number used by the Egyptians, the Babylonians and the Mayans thousands of years before came to Europe in the fifteenth century brought the hand of the Italian mathematician Fibonnacci in the twelfth century who moved from Saudi but came originally from India.

Therefore the calculations of Dionysius the dwarf could not but be imperfect. The method used to calculate the birth of Jesus was by adding the time that lasted the reigns of Roman emperors and subtracting the date you made the calculation. Established since Jesus was born in the year 753 after the founding of Rome.

Diocletian

However, the dwarf committed at least two serious mistakes: first, did not take into account that existed one year 0. It jumped the year before Christ a year after Christ. A Caesar Augustus, who ruled the Roman Empire during the birth of Jesus forgot add the first four years in which the kingdom under the name of Octavio before Cesar Augusto vary. These two errors put Jesus to be born in 5 BC

Perhaps this error had gone unnoticed or someone would have corrected it not that the Venerable Bede used this miscalculation to put the dates on his "Ecclesiastical History of the English. " This book made him known as the father of English history. San Beda's writings gave importance to the chronology of Dionysius the dwarf, which served for this was that used during the control period in Europe by the church in the Middle Ages.

In fact if we Dionysus, Jesus was born two years after the death of Herod, which is illogical if we know that Herod ordered the killing of all children under two years old when he learned that a child had been born Jews thought would be their savior.

Herod the Great

However, the establishment of 25 December is another story. It is believed that the date was used from the year 336 because it was a traditional date of the winter festival since the time of the Celts. Among those traditions was the giving and receiving gifts. The church has historically been used as religious festivals and holidays were changed to Christian to win converts.

In fact it is considered that the birth of Jesus occurred in early April. Proof of this is that in the scriptures originated at the time of his birth refer to shepherds watched their flocks outdoors. This is not possible in that area in December when the cold can reach below zero forcing herders to keep their sheep in close quarters.

According to Clement of Alexandria, who lived in the late second century, Jesus was born between 19 April and 20 May. This would explain the fact that the shelters were full to get Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem because it was near the celebration of Passover when many moved to celebrate.

Should The Bar Of The Belly Ring Stick Out

TO 30 YEARS OF HIS MURDER

By: Felipe Argote

was a cold December night in New York. At 10:50 pm John Lennon and Yoko Ono got out of the limousine that brought the Record Plant Studio studio where they had spent almost five hours mixing the sound of an Ono song "Walking in the ice" where John played guitar.

In the shadow under the arch of a door, waiting for the psychopath stealth Mark David Chapman, who had traveled from his native Honolulu, Hawaii with the sole intention of killing the greatest musical genius in history. The murderer had been in November but this time he lacked determination. His goal was not difficult, Lennon used outside the building and get off to walk the short distance instead of getting the car into the courtyard. This was done to take the opportunity to greet and sign autographs for fans who waited for hours under the building.

Earlier Lennon had gone along with Yoko Ono at five in the afternoon of the apartment in the Dakota building at No. 1 on the street 72. There Chapman approached him with a copy of the album "Double Fantasy" by John and Yoko had just hit the market last month, which asked autograph. Lennon signed an autograph on the disk. This same album with Lennon's last autograph was auctioned in 2003 for the sum of $ 525.000, the most expensive album in history.

The murderer awaits his return at 10:50 pm and shot him five shots back four of which penetrated the body of Lennon, one of them destroyed the aorta causing the 80% loss of blood. At 11:07 am he was pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital, just 17 minutes after the attack. Chapman tried to flee after their vile and cowardly murder, sat quietly on the sidewalk to wait for the police. He was sentenced to between twenty years to life imprisonment. A Chapman was denied parole for the sixth time in August this year. He was 25 at the time of murder Today is 55.

John Lennon is without a doubt the most influential musician in history. His childhood was not normal. Was adopted by his aunt, Mary Smith, sister of his mother. His father was a merchant seaman who abandoned him at age five, while his mother did not have the emotional stability to keep her. But he regularly visited the home of his sister, who with her husband George Smith was raised as his son as they had no children of their own. George died when John was fourteen years old so it was living alone with his aunt Mary. In August 1958, when John was 17 his mother was killed by a drunken cop killed on impact. A year earlier he had given John his first guitar, an acoustic gallotone. Also that year, on July 16, he met Paul McCartney who started writing songs and who along with George Harison, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe who died in 1962 during a tour of cerebral hemorrhage, formed the most famous History: The Beatles. That same year, 1962 Ringo Star enters the group as drummer replacing Pete Best who was fired.

John Lennon, the author of "Stand By Me", "Hey Judy," "Yesterday", "Imagine", "Give Peace a Chance "and" Sargent Pepper `s Lonely Hearts Club Band" and many others managed to put 27 songs on Billboard number one, most with Paul McCartney.

Besides Ringo Star, George Harrison and Paul McCartney formed the most influential group in the history and beginning an era. But John did not just music, it was a huge activist against the Vietnam War.

The April 22, 1969 John Winston Lennon dropped his middle name in honor of Winston because Winston Churchill was born in 1940 and during World War II and changed it to be renamed John Ono Ono Lennon.

THE COMET HALLEY

100 YEARS

By: Felipe Argote

In 1910 the entire planet was in turmoil. Diviners, cults and snake charmers broadcast messages of terror. Many committed suicide for fear of the flaming sword of biblical prophecies.

A huge fireball coming towards the earth and its long tail that claimed was full of toxic cyanogen a form of cyanide would sweep the earth. Who did not die by fire die poisoned.

to fill a total solar eclipse for a few minutes left to one huge ball of fire, lighting the sky.

hair was the star returning to visit our solar system, but only a small group of scientists were repositories of knowledge that this comet Halley was named earlier and illuminated the vault of heaven many times every 76 years. Astro hair, that's what it means in Greek comet.

During his time in the 44 years of C the Romans thought that this comet was the soul of Julius Caesar, who had been killed during the Ides of March that year.

The closest the comet has passed by the land was in the year 837 that transitioned to little more than ten times the distance between the moon and the earth

In 1301 Giotto di Bondone, the great painter who was one of the initiators of the Renaissance, painted in a of their works.

In 1456, three years after the fall of Constantinople to the Turks, you see the Halley and Pope Callistus III ordered that the Angelus is recited at noon instead of at six in the evening as was customary, before fear of invasion of Rome by the Muslims.

Di Bondone painted

a comet rather than the star of Bethlehem

Comet Halley has a return period of between 75 and 76. We know this thanks to studies by the British astronomer Edmund Halley origin who in 1705 published an estimate of the comet's orbit and predicted that he would return in 1758. But that year the comet did not come. Calculations made by the astronomer who subsequently developed Claraiut more precise calculations predicted the comet in 1759. The comet made its reappearance in May of that year. Halley had died in 1742.

Although the comet reappeared in 1818 was in 1910 caused more anger and fear in the population, especially because his tail this time passed through the land. Hence come the fables that he would spray cyanide with its tail around the living body on earth.

Although the comet returned on time in 1986 this time was not as dramatic because the land at that time was far from the comet's passage so that was not seen in its magnitude with spectacular close encounter 1910.

In Spain, the lines were long for water provided naf who claimed he was the only thing able to calm the shock when the Earth crosses the comet's tail and liquor Poniol claimed that as he was able to ward off this and all comets.

On his last visit in 1986 sent two spacecraft la Vega and Giotto to study in depth the nature of Halley's comet and photograph its nucleus.
