Al inicio de El amor en los tiempos del cólera, nos enteramos de que el doctor Juvenal Urbino recibe una llamada. Su amigo, el fotógrafo Jeremiah de Saint-Amour, se ha suicidado. Esto interfiere de una manera terrible con los quehaceres del médico, que no podrá ir a misa como suele hacerlo, sino que debe visitar a la amante secreta de Jeremiah, quién le explica que Jeremiah se suicidó porque se negaba a envejecer. El doctor Urbino regresa a casa y se encuentra con que los sirvientes están tratando de atrapar a la mascota, un perico que habla y que, según nos cuenta el narrador, le ha de costar la vida al médico. Él y su esposa van a una comida en honor a uno de sus alumnos. Al volver, él intenta atrapar al loro, que ha volado hasta un árbol de mango. El médico cae del árbol y se rompe el cuello, lo que significa que el contratiempo de su propia muerte le impedirá asistir al funeral de Jeremiah. La esposa del doctor Urbino, Fermina, parece serena en el velorio de esa noche. Un hombre llamado Florentino Ariza, presidente de la Compañía Fluvial del Caribe, aparece y se ofrece a ayudar. Al final de la noche, Florentino confiesa a Fermina que está enamorado de ella y que así ha sido durante los últimos cincuenta años. ¡Pero qué locura! Fermina, molestísima, lo echa de la casa. La narrativa retrocede a medio siglo antes y ahí conocemos al adolescente Florentino Ariza. Éste trabaja en la oficina de telégrafos y, al ir a entregar un telegrama a Lorenzo Daza, el padre de Fermina Daza, la descubre por primera vez. A partir de ese día, el enamorado Florentino se sienta en el parque de enfrente de la casa de Fermina y finge leer mientras la mira ir y venir de la escuela. Pasado un tiempo, Florentino se anima a darle una carta a Fermina. Después de un mes, exige impaciente una respuesta y es entonces que la recibe. Sin que el padre lo sepa, Florentino y Fermina comienzan una correspondencia apasionada y, dos días más tarde, le escribe para pedirle que se case con él. Fermina acepta iniciar un largo compromiso, que mantienen a escondidas del padre. Un día, Lorenzo descubre las cartas y se lleva a Fermina a un largo viaje con la esperanza de que se olvide de ese afecto tan inapropiado hacia el pobre trabajador de telégrafos. Los amantes continúan la comunicación en secreto y planean casarse tan pronto como Fermina regrese. Cuando Lorenzo queda convencido de que su hija se ha olvidado por completo de Florentino, vuelven a la ciudad. Florentino está feliz, pero cuando Fermina lo vuelve a ver, se desenamora de él y cancela la boda. A continuación, conocemos al joven médico Juvenal Urbino, que está obsesionado con erradicar el cólera, la enfermedad que le ha quitado la vida a su padre. Lo llaman a la casa de los Daza para diagnosticar a una paciente, la joven Fermina, y él determina que no tiene cólera. No es un amor a primera vista, pero el médico se entusiasma con Fermina, y al padre de ella le agrada la idea. Fermina no está muy convencida, pero su prima Hildebranda opina que el doctor Urbino es sexy y la anima. Cuando Fermina por fin accede a casarse con el doctor Urbino, Florentino, desconsolado, decide irse a trabajar a otra ciudad. En el barco, una misteriosa desconocida lo aborda en la oscuridad y le roba la virginidad. Nunca descubre la identidad de su amante, pero se imagina que es Rosalba, una compañera de viaje. Florentino decide que, viéndolo bien, no le interesa el nuevo trabajo y regresa a casa para continuar viviendo en la misma ciudad que Fermina. Trata de olvidarla teniendo relaciones con muchas mujeres, comenzando por una viuda que se queda en la casa de su madre. Mientras tanto, Fermina disfruta su luna de miel en Europa. Regresa a casa seis meses más tarde, embarazada, y el doctor y la señora Urbino se vuelven el centro de la vida social y cívica de la ciudad. Decidido a hacerse merecedor de Fermina, mientras espera a que su esposo se marche al más allá, Florentino trabaja sin parar en Compañía Fluvial y es ascendido. También renueva su casa, escribe poesía y continúa sus innumerables aventuras amorosas clandestinas. Una de sus amantes, una mujer casada, es asesinada por su esposo cuando éste descubre que lo ha estado engañando. Más adelante, muere la madre de Florentino. Según muchas anécdotas de la vida matrimonial que leemos, la relación entre Fermina y el doctor Juvenal Urbino no está exenta de problemas, pero en general, son bastante felices. Tienen dos hijos y se mudan a una casa nueva en un barrio residencial para que Fermina pueda alejarse de su suegra. El nuevo siglo trae a la ciudad nuevos avances tecnológicos y cívicos. Florentino aprovecha cada ceremonia oficial para ver a su amada Fermina. En un viaje en globo a la costa para celebrar una inauguración, Fermina y su marido pasan por ciudades abandonadas a causa de la epidemia del cólera y se encuentran con que incontables trabajadores de las plantaciones de plátano han muerto a causa de una herida en la nuca. Fermina se va a vivir al rancho de su prima en el campo durante unos años, hasta que se da cuenta de que su marido está teniendo una aventura con una de sus pacientes. Pasado un tiempo se reconcilian y Fermina vuelve a la ciudad. Todo el mundo comienza a envejecer. Cuando su tío se jubila, Florentino es ascendido a Presidente de Compañía Fluvial del Caribe. En este momento ya no tiene tantas amantes, pero comienza una aventura con América Vicuña, de catorce años, que ha sido enviada a la ciudad a estudiar. Él actúa como su tutor y nadie sospecha que tienen una aventura. Cuando el doctor Urbino muere y Fermina queda libre de nuevo, Florentino le avisa a América que está por casarse y termina con su romance. Florentino corteja a Fermina incansablemente por medio de una serie de cartas. Al final todo eso da resultado y se hacen amigos. Un periódico local publica algunos artículos difamatorios sobre el padre de Fermina e insinúa que su difunto esposo ha estado teniendo una aventura con su mejor amiga. Con la intención de escapar del escándalo, Fermina accede a hacer un crucero por el río con Florentino. Se enamora de él y el crucero se convierte en una especie de luna de miel para los dos, pese al hecho de que las orillas del río han quedado deforestadas y los pueblos por los que pasan han perdido a su población a causa del cólera. Florentino recibe noticias de que América se suicidó al ser incapaz de aprobar sus exámenes finales y, una vez que se cerciora de que nadie ha descubierto el secreto de su aventura, descarta su recuerdo.

A pesar de que logró conquistarla a base de cartas románticas y poemas, los padres de ella siempre se opusieron a la relación. Siendo Fermina una joven altanera e insegura, en un arrebato de impulsividad decide rechazar a Florentino y casarse con otro pretendiente, Juvenal Urbino. Este es un joven médico muy dedicado y formal, decidido además a erradicar el cólera de la región.

Ariza, a pesar del rechazo, promete seguir amando a Fermina, y mantenerse virgen para ella.

Al margen de la relativa tranquilidad que se respira, es un sitio donde la muerte ronda a diario. Urbino se dedica empeñosamente en combatir el cólera, lo que le granjea el respeto de todos, pero también sucumbe a la pasión al convertirse en amante de una de sus pacientes: una voluptuosa mulata llamada Bárbara Lynch.

Fourpeat for Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes AMG’s primary Formula 1 pilot, has just clinched his fourth championship in F1 during the Mexico GP. The English pilot has joined what people call “The Greats”, pilots who have won four or more championships in their Formula 1 career which are: Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, and Sebastian Vettel. Hamilton described the feeling of winning a fourth title as “unreal” since there are two races left in the calendar. His title rival Sebastian Vettel, whom he crashed with in the Mexico GP, gave Hamilton all the credit he deserved. Vettel, considered one of “The Greats”, behaved like a true champion and graciously accepted defeat knowing that Lewis Hamilton had indeed bested him in this championship. The next two races for Hamilton will be victory laps and just taking it slow since he achieved his goal.

Hunt for ISIS Leader

CNN has discovered that at one point over the late spring the US trusted they had their absolute best at murdering the fear based oppressor pioneer in an airstrike, as indicated by a few US authorities.

The strike, which has never been freely revealed, depended on knowledge that showed a senior ISIS pioneer, potentially Baghdadi, was at the specific area. The authorities comfortable with the strike reveal to CNN it has never been authoritatively decided whether Baghdadi was really slaughtered. However, one authority revealed to CNN that over late months "we attempted to take a few shots at him."

One reason the US stays unverifiable on the off chance that it killed Baghdadi is that in the days and weeks that took after the strike, US insight did not block any ISIS correspondences affirming his passing and there was no talk on ISIS web-based social networking accounts, US authorities said. Given Baghdadi's stature, the US hopes to see noteworthy jabber talking about his passing, in the event that he is slaughtered.

The strike happened after a claim by Russia in June that the ISIS pioneer may have been executed in one of its airstrikes on the edges of Raqqa on May 28. The US has since a long time ago trusted that the Russian claim isn't valid.

In another example CNN has discovered that US military organizers for a ground mission being led by US powers thought they were on Baghdadi's trail for a critical timeframe. Knowledge showed a person with the name al-Baghdadi was at an objective site, a US official affirmed to CNN.

Senior organization authorities were advised however an assault did not occur on account of worry over the potential number of regular people at the site. The US official says they now trust Baghdadi was likely not at the area. It stays hazy if that individual was any connection to the ISIS pioneer.

A predictable issue the US has confronted is that insight tips on Baghdadi's whereabouts are regularly not opportune, which means he is probably going to have proceeded onward before they can mount an operation to take him out. Baghdadi is accepted to remain genuinely portable, frequently moving by vehicle with only a driver one authority told CNN. Since he possibly stays progressing, the most obvious opportunity with regards to killing him may accompany a minute ago insight that would require a strike by an automaton as of now standing around close-by.

Throughout the most recent a while, the best US officer in Baghdad has given a few tempting responses to correspondents about Baghdadi's whereabouts. In a July 11 squeeze preparation, Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend revealed to Pentagon journalists: "I can't affirm or deny where he is or whether he is alive or dead."
