OLGA SINCLAIR

OUTSTANDING WOMEN YEAR

By: Felipe Argote

A small Olga met her while playing with my sisters on the street Mariano Arosemena, where both families live an unforgettable part of our childhoods. Olga had my same age. In those days even used those enormous sunglasses that almost covered their faces. Jorge, his older brother, I remember him with his infectious laugh, her wide semantic or clutching fists with another boy named Fonchito. Miguel, his younger brother, just remember crawling wearing a diaper and a swetercito.

His apartment was on top of a two-story house, right next to the school Sara Sotillo and diagonal to our apartment across the street. Right in the middle of the street on Sundays developed besibol matches with rubber ball hitting with your fist. The match between the children only stopped every fifteen or twenty minutes when a car passed. Adults shouted from the balcony to support your favorite team. All the children played, even more guys like me, who declared us butter. This was only hitting the ball with the rubber hand, let me run all the bases while everyone applauded, although the race was not valid.

remember being on one occasion to see Olga's father, the painter laureate Alfredo Sinclair Panama while his abstract painting in their own homes. To see who could not imagine liking these doodles. I was excused because he was only eight years at the time,

I remember that girl Olga liked the painting and imitated his father moving rhythmically, as if it were part of a Vivaldi sinfonóa, brush on a piece of white paper.

You, my passion. Canvas Olga Sinclair

flood already have seen his style is very different from his father Alfredo. His figures strongly anatomical and intense colors reflect a passion and acute fogocidad.

On Tuesday, 29 March, I attended the recognition given by the Panamanian Association of Business Executives by giving the distinction Olga Sinclair Award as "Outstanding Woman of the Year."

It was a very busy and emotional, where among other things, I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Olga, mother of the painter and friend of my late mother, Silvia, like the other children of the Mrs. Olga, my childhood friends, Dr. George Sinclair and Michael.

The young mother. Olga sinclair

Daniel Argote Recently my son was traveling in Madrid. There he met a English man who upon discovering that my son was in Panama, told with a certain presumption that his house had a picture of a famous painter in Panama. In inquiring about the name, I answer in English very proud and somewhat petulant tone: Well man, Olga Sinclair.

Pantoja and the Mirabal sisters

By: Felipe Argote

Lieutenant Pantaleon Pantoja, disciplined Peruvian army officer, has just been promoted to captain. As a first task in his new role is assigned to organize a service of prostitutes servicing the school and army troops located in the Amazon.

The army received too many complaints from people of Iquitos and surrounding communities. Soldiers located in this remote jungle province were constantly involved in violations against young people and other odds with morality. According to the high command this attitude was the product of too much sexual pressure because they can not relax their feelings for men. To fix it is called Lieutenant Pantaleon Pantoja, who will be responsible for organizing a prostitution service that meets the troops and solve this embarrassing problem.

As the Amazon is so wide that it is impossible to move troops to the place where prostitutes are located Pantaleon, Panta or Pantita as Pochita like to tell his wife, provides a visiting service, an itinerant group of prostitutes traveling from barracks to barracks: The SSGFRI (Service for Garrisons, Frontier and Allied) with a system mobilization of land, water and even air, carefully organized by Captain Pantoja, who engaged in the details personally verified the skills of each of engaging prostitutes.

His lieutenants are Curinchila Doña Leonora, aka Chuchupe, great experience for his leadership for many years, Fu Manchu, a center of prostitution in Bethlehem, her husband Juan Rivera, alias Shot, a highly respected midget prostitutes who is responsible for establishing order and Porfirio Wong, alias El Chino. SSGFRI the pompous appellation is simplified by the wisdom people who simply called him Pantiland.

Amid Pantaleon history is another story develops secondary. In these forgotten people in the middle of the jungle comes a Messiah, loved to the fanaticism for the locals: Brother Francis, who develops his fiery sermons on a cross. The brother Christian creates a current based on the crucifixion, to the point that believers start to hammer on the cross as an offering to birds, mice, butterflies, cats and dogs then finally to a child and an elderly woman, who after killing the declared martyrs: the child martyr, St. Agnes.

Pantoja and the Special is a journey to the center of the Peruvian Amazon jungle, where common sense is completely different from the rest of the world and where people survive on logic as opposed to the rest of humanity.

The author, Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize in literature was in 2010. Born in Arequipa, Peru in 1936, though it became a English citizen in 1993. Twice married 19 years to Julia Urquidi, his aunt and his cousin Patricia 28 Llosa had three children.

Trujillo was in jail at the age of sixteen years for cattle rustling and check forgery, but he took a tremendous opportunity to serve the U.S. army that invaded the Dominican Republic in 1916 citing delays in the payment of debt.

Complied with the order on the spot and took one of them, the long braids (Maria Teresa). Valerio Alfonso chose the highest (Minerva), I chose the most short and chubby (Motherland) and Mallet, the driver, Rufino de la Cruz. I ordered each to be placed in a cane field beside the highway, separated all the victims to witness the execution of each one of them. "

" I ordered Perez Terrero to stay on the road to see if it approached a vehicle or someone I could hear the case. That is the truth of the matter. I do not want to cheat justice or the people. I tried to avert disaster, but could not, because otherwise we would have cleared them all. "

The Mirabal sisters were beaten to death, then placed against the driver back in the car and throw them away ravine to fake a car accident.

Minerva was the one who first started as an activist in the democratic struggle as a student of law, integrating along with her husband who was later the father of her two children, Manuel Tavarez, a political grouping June 14 that he faced the Trujillo dictatorship. Manuel Tavarez was shot three years later, in 1963, after Trujillo's death, following up against a military coup that overthrew the elected president after the death of Trujillo Juan Bosh.

Maria Teresa joined the group later, following the footsteps of his sister Minerva. Homeland worked but was not militant group. In the three Mirabal sisters were known as butterflies.

The bloodthirsty dictator José Leonidas Trujillo was executed by an armed group in 1961, after which they were first democratic elections in the Dominican Republic. These elections were won by Juan Bosch, a writer and politician who was exiled for twenty years during the dictatorship of Trujillo. Was dethroned after seven months of its mandate for the military, provoking a popular uprising that came close to overthrowing the new military dictatorship. At that time, again the U.S. military invaded the country and puts Joaquin Balaguer, one of the allegations of the dictator Trujillo, president. Balaguer remained directing the destinies of the country by pursuing the murder and fraud for thirty-two years

The construction of elephant-shaped buildings. Its history. Beech

In the movie Moulin Rouge (2001) , was the first time I saw the construction of a giant elephant, caught my attention, especially because much part of the action takes place in it, but when I prepared the documentation for my entry on Coney Island turned to meet another giant elephant and began to interest her story ...

all begins with the idea of \u200b\u200bCharles Ribart in 1758, projects a three-story arc shape of an elephant, with a fountain in his trunk and access it through a spiral staircase in her womb. Fortunately for Paris, the idea was not well received, and years later he built his famous Arc Triumph in the same site where it was thought to place the elephant.

Elephant Triomphale Source: Wikipedia

For some strange coincidence, or copy, we'll never know, James V. Lafferty, a real estate developer in Philadelphia, in 1881 built on Margate beach close to the bustling Atlantic City, a giant elephant to promote the sale of some land without any appeal which were his property. As was the first, the Patent Office of the United States granted the exclusive right to make, use or sell animals buildings for seventeen years.

"Elephant Bazaar" is now called "Lucy" in 1900, and was successful construction. Six stories high, 90 tons, nearly one million pieces of wood, covered with tin-square 12.00, with real estate office, restaurant, hotel bar and finally, closing during Prohibition of Prohibition. The glory days of Lucy would cause Lafferty was decided to construct new buildings in the shape of an elephant.

In 1884, built what would be his last building called "Light Asia "also known as Dumbo, in Cape May in New Jersey, but in the late nineteenth century was demolished, leaving the honor of Lucy being the only one now remains, with some difficulty. In the late 60's, had a dilapidated building. A group of citizens of Margate in 1969 decided to raise funds for its restoration in 1970, and later declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Today, still visitable.

Our history is moved back across the Atlantic to Paris is about to begin their 1889 World Fair. In it, besides the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the French who like elephants Lafferty, built a pavilion in the form of giant elephant very similar to Lucy. After the presentation, the elephant is acquired by the owners of Moulin Rouge that had just opened its doors on October 6, 1889 at the foot of the bohemian neighborhood of Montmartre. In local, then the great hall we found a terrace dance - cafe for use in the summer, the garden of Paris, with a stage and with him, was where would place the giant plaster elephant.

THE ECONOMY: THE MIRACLE OF PANAMA

By: Felipe Argote

An average GDP growth of almost 9% in the last seven years and projections for the coming years that exceed this average. Everyone who comes to Panama after not visiting in the last ten years are surprised to see the city so changed. It looks like a first world city some claim. Everyone wants to do business in Panama. Given the global financial crisis, some are intended to cover the reduced income from sales in developed countries of origin, shifting their expectations for this small country of 78.200 square kilometers and three point five million people wrongly tallied by the last census, $ 2.362 million foreign investment in 2010, an increase of 33% over the previous year.

do you explain the sudden appearance of our country as an example for the economies of the area, if just a few years ago a well known Panamanian economist said that "when the U.S. economy sneezes, Panama gets pneumonia."

Of course the previous and current government boast of being the architects of these wonderful results, to be the strategists who have led us even to be considered in countries with investment grade companies evaluated as prestigious as Moody's, Standard & Poor's (S & P) and Fitch Ratings. I say this despite the fact that all but the very confused, we know that government Martin Torrijos had no idea where his political compass, and therefore ideologically and economically, and the current government, but from the start was defined as the pendulum to the right, has made so many outbursts and has done so many improvisations it is difficult to think that has a definite direction or at least one criterion macroecómico consistent. Recall that after moving the government had to engage the services of the prestigious American consulting firm McKinsey & Co to that defined the economic direction of the government, at least in taxation.

In my opinion there is no such miracle and if anyone deserves to foist the course miracle is that great group of Panamanians who fought for the reversal of our channel and the ratification of our sovereignty (sovereignty is good business.)

by reversing the channel and recover all our territory with the departure of foreign troops, the country received nothing denesnable sum of thirty thousand million dollars in assets. By controlling our channel the country received directly from this operation in less than two years longer than we had received since 1914, it opened the way until its reversion to our country in December 1999. Recall that the United States paid only 500 000 dollars annually for the channel to the signing of the Torrijos-Carter treaty and not a single penny for the 14 bases, or for the use of water.

Just look at the economic activities are driving the economy and grow the GDP to ratify this assertion. Before our economy was based on banana and fishing, now is the transport, tourism and construction, which drag the wagons. In the period 2004-2010 only three economic activities had higher average growth of two digits: The construction 14.07%, 13.57% to transport, mines and quarries with 13.6% and hotels and restaurants with 10.4%.

Growth in transport has much to do with the terminal ports of the Atlantic and Pacific, which used military facilities controlled by the U.S. Army for their logistics and are now civilian facilities, which has allowed to exploit our geographical position as a collection center and redistribution of containers.

hotels and restaurants have had their growth as a cause of the great increase in tourism. Whereas previously the Causeway, Gamboa, Koob beach and all the Canal area was safe zone, and efficiency is based on the lower half while taking a boat to leave the country, now there are resturants, hotels, resorts, marine and everything necessary to ensure that the boats, sailing boats and stop in our region to re-provisioning and many foreigners travel to our country as a tourist.

Construction has grown due to the growth of the economy based on exploitation of our geographical position, self-conscious before the fenced area and close monitoring, not to allow the relaxation of military security fence. The increase in state revenues has allowed the development of the infrastructure especially road despite mismanagement.

You only have to compare the visitor center of the Miraflores locks before inviting you to come out of there as soon as possible and is now a tourist center with a restaurant, museum and gift shop included.

why I reiterate that no such miracle. The miracle, if you find a miracle, is that many senior managers and professionals of our country that make good business today and walk around smug by the reverted areas, insisted that the departure was not appropriate military bases and the reversal of channel, just because for them it was a business selling meat, miniestras and a few unnerving to norteameicanos drink, or because they had gainful employment on the bases. Assured frightened The Panamanians were unable to administer the canal, Panama taking control of the waterway would be a matter of time before it swallowed the weed, while the chorilleros would bathe in the locks with patched tubes of truck tires .

MINA NAGAR

By: Felipe Argote


Once again the government is facing indigenous people physically.

chorizo \u200b\u200bFirst was the law. After more than a week of clashes which killed and wounded were total or partial loss of eyesight, the government fell in all but the historical privilege of not granting injunction policemen linked to crimes. The only exception was that it was a mistake. In January it became clear the relationship of some policemen in the deaths of several teenagers in detention. Since the law does not permit preventive detention before a fact as obvious prison barracks were invented. Although I do not understand how there can be barracks in Panama jail if the army was abolished, so there should be no barracks.

In any case, the second match is given by the change in the mining code. In this case it is clear that the Indians, especially the people gnöbe and Bugle, expressed their unwavering desire to prevent the mining. The law before being repealed and was a consistent parapet because no investor would put money into an area of \u200b\u200bconfrontation. In any case I believe the repeal is not evidence of weakness of the government, but neither is a fortress. The contrary is proof that traditional politicians, including Martinelli, continue with the method of improvisation and enforcement.

That sad spectacle of the deputies who imposed the law without further consultation with the logic that if lengthy discussion groups that are against it will have greater opportunities to strengthen their positions in the public consciousness and then passing the law and is as stated in the streets "last nail." But this logic leads to show for the umpteenth time as simple chains of transmission of the will of the executive. And impose the law on crack and it breaks and the repeal when a representative of the executive will be leading the way and they follow like sheep of Panurge.

Did not have been more appropriate to develop the discussion, and that 75% of the population Martinelli discovered a month after he was against mining will be displayed and the deputies, as representatives of their voters and not as mere subordinates of the executive, make a decision based on the will of the majority?.

Maybe that would have discovered that for the native land has a different connotation. That is not the ownership of the plot but common property or around the area in which they operate. Since more than 500 years they have been cornered and there is no land above the mountains. If he grabs the mountain with the pretext to exploit its wealth and it drops splashing them, and they will not have anything. They are therefore prepared to give their lives to defend it.

75% of the population sympathized with the struggle of indigenous people, but not actively participate in peaceful demonstrations and mass gatherings. This does not necessarily mean that all were against mining. In my opinion is that there is credibility in responsible mining, simply because the government has been irresponsible not alone in this but in many respects. Amid the discussion of the mining code the Supreme Court exempts the Petaquilla mine millionaire to pay a fine for pollution because they claim to errors.

Carlitos

Salazar, spokesman Petaquilla, drinking contaminated water can continue until the outbreak of bumps, pus, or will grow a third arm on the back, but the whole society, or at least 75%, continue to distrust mining call responsible, at least by this administration and previous.

WHAT HAPPENS IN LIBYA

By: Felipe Argote

of only six million inhabitants and a GDP of about 60.000 million Libya does not seem to have enough importance to have the whole world watch minute by minute the events of this country located in northern Africa between Tunisia, whose government fell in January this year after a series of large demonstrations and Egypt, whose government fell after a series of large demonstrations in February.

domino logic does not lead to the conclusion that Libya was the next dictatorship to fall after nearly 42 years of government of Muammar al-Qaddafi. But that same logic led the dictator to the conclusion that only through repression was fierce and immediate root out the popular uprising that he might not like Tunisia and Egypt that small protests were growing day by day to become unstoppable human tide that broke the army's loyalty.

Libyans in Egypt

The first references to Libya us back to the Egyptian empire speaking Libyan mercenary recruitment. Then again also refer to these mercenaries when they were allegedly hired by the legendary Hannibal, the Carthaginian, who was about to take Rome.

Area

way through Asia Minor and Egypt with almost all of its inhabitants located on the shores lapped by the Mediterranean Sea, Libya was controlled by Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Ottomans and finally invaded by Italy in 1912, just to make Africa a piece of cake gnawed by all European powers. More than 150,000 Italians settled in the country in this period driving the agricultural land to its original residents.

After the Second World War, after the defeat of Italy as part of the shaft, the Europeans do not see any interest in the country five times larger than Italy but with a population of barely one million inhabitants at the time, because its vast territory is mainly desert so give it independence and place as King Idris I.

In 1969, King Idris was overthrown by a military revolt led by Muammar al-Gaddafi who proclaims a socialist revolution that nationalized land and businesses. The state takes 51% of the shares of banks, are expelled to the bases in Britain and the United States and confiscated properties to all Israeli citizens and Italians. In 1973 he nationalized 51% of all foreign companies.

Gaddafi declares Prime Minister in 1970 and changed its name to the country by Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. Imposed price companies oil so that the economy was needed to strengthen its army and internationalist play adhering to non-aligned movement and strengthen ties with the Soviet Union.

His confrontation with the West led him to sponsor armed leftist movements and to be accused by the U.S., Britain, France and Germany to commit terrorist acts in their countries with terrible human losses. Among the most traumatic are the charges of placing a bomb on Flight 103 Pan Am American line in 1988, two years after President Ronald Reagan bombed Tripoli, killing one of the daughters Gaddafi. It is also related to a bomb planted in the discotheque "La Belle" in Germany and an attack on a French airliner UTA company in 1989.

With Silvio Berlusconi

However, from 2001 Gaddafi gives a 180 degree ideological shift to the far right, he makes them forget their previous lapses by paying U.S. $ 2.700 million to the families of those killed in the bombing of Flight 103, and as many millions to the French airline UTA and the victims of the nightclub "La Belle" in Germany. This shift makes the right intimate partner Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, the then English President José María Aznar and even receive written praise from George Bush, who resumed diplomatic relations with Libya.

With José María Aznar

blames Gaddafi currently being Al Qaeda who are behind the movement for their expulsion, the de facto government in Tripoli.

However it is interesting that the Libyan Board Transition directing the efforts by his dismissal is headed by Mohamed Abdul Jalil Mustafa Abdulyalil who until a few days ago was his Minister of Justice and who now claims that Gaddafi was who gave the direct order to execute the attack on Flight 103. He says now, twenty years after the incident and while he was one of his relatives.

Abdulyalil Mohamed Abdul Jalil Mustafa

From the city of Benghazi, the second largest city in Libya, now held by the rebels, the former minister for justice Gaddafi erases all sins of commission or omission done solely responsible for the dictator who until a few days ago gave the orders. The other head is visible Libyan Ambassador Ali Aujali in the United States who said he was willing to sacrifice their 41-year-Qaddafi government official if it does not quit.

Meanwhile NATO military intervention organization that looks more like an attack on a school of piranhas, ready to dispute its rich oil fields that a day of goodwill. Is that they are the same ones who went from hero to tyrant and trading partner, for which they did not mind the fate of his suffering people but legal certainty of their investments. His closest ally, the Italian government has announced that in honor of his close friendship with Gaddafi will not send troops to conduct military action against the Libyan dictator, but according to Euro-Atlantic loyalty if their base pay for any military operation is carried out .
