FOTO DEL MES/ NOVIEMBRE

Eco popular que nos envuelve y santifica… con la mano. Tótem de nuestra argentinidad. Epítome de todo eso que somos y nos negamos -o nos negaron- a ver. Vivir sin vivir, anhelo de tantos. Vivir sin vivir, potestad solo de D10s.

Texto: Rocío Salinas Molina

Fotografía: Emanuel Bepre

Sobre la fotografía elegida escribe Atilio Orellana

La fotografía de Emanuel me resulta familiar, cercana y hasta nostálgica, me traslada automáticamente “al barrio”, un paisaje que reconozco, del que soy parte, no importan los nombres, hay algo ahí, una impronta.

La esquina, el fútbol, los cables, el Diego, la escoba que reposa en la vereda, la “cocucha”, el Renault 19.

Seguramente esa esquina va a cambiar con el paso del tiempo, como ya lo debe haber hecho hasta hoy.

Pero ahora tenemos esta imagen para recordarla. 

Me siento parte del paisaje fotografiado por Emanuel, gracias por compartirlo.

Cafler: Ricard Guillem’s Impact in the Reinvention of UK’s Automotive Industry

The rise of millions of entrepreneurs of all ages has been taking up space in all types of industries on a global scale, every single day. Creating and leaving impacts through their innovations and ideas, the Founders, Innovators, Makers, and Revolutionists pave a path in the various industries present and give back to the people and the world with their products and services.

The Inspiration: 

Hailing from Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, a 16-year-old boy had the vision, goal, drive, and inspiration to leave a substantial mark in The United Kingdom’s Automotive Industry. Ricard Guillem, being very familiar with the automotive industry due to his family working in the sector for generations, had noticed that when owning any vehicle, the maintenance and ownership of it requires a lot of mechanical and physical care and effort with the aims to prolong its longevity in all aspects. 

Therefore, with a lot of research and understanding, the young entrepreneur studied the various technological solutions that were already available in the market and came up with an idea to create an innovative platform and app that provides all of the required care, help, and services with the aims to make the owners better manage, maintain and care for their vehicles in their day-to-day life and needs. 

CAFLER’S Creation and Focus: 

Cafler – was brought into existence in the year 2021, and was founded by Ricard Guillem. The start-up was founded alongside yet another inspiring, hard-working, and talented businessman – Iñigo Diego. With the consistent efforts applied, sacrifices made and with good time, Ricard Guillem and Iñigo Diego, came through with their aims and visions which led them to reach the skyline.

Basing their priorities on providing a seamless and easy yet first-level client experience to the people, the number of services that are being offered follow these criteria – Comfort, Low Prices, Trust and Transparency, Selection and Personalised Services. Upholding these criteria strongly, the founders of Cafler have built the platform and seen to it that it is accessible globally. To kickstart their platform, the main drivers and motivators that were behind Cafler’s huge success in the industry and country, are as follows – Ambition, Speed, Responsibility, Purpose and Impact. 

CAFLER’S Impacts:

With more than 100,000 services being provided by Cafler while working with more than 750 partner brands and companies such as – Tesla, Renault, Turo, etcetera, establishing their growing presence in over 3 countries – Spain, France and the United Kingdom and counting, as well as operating actively in over 8 cities – Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Lyon, London respectively and more. With many more branches aiming to be opened in other countries for a wider reach and engagement of their services offered, the co-founders are growing and moving up the scale and market positively. 

“Our operating system technology is designed to make life easier for vehicle users, empowering local economies, and providing a robust foundation for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to thrive.” – Ricard Guillem’s response to how Cafler contributes to building a better future for the people, at the Valencia Digital Summit 2023 (VDS). 

Some of the various services that Cafler offers and provides the people with are as follows – Ministry of Transport Tests (MOT) from the comfort of their homes, Workshop and Maintenance, Tyre Changes, all kinds of Vehicle Washes, Paperwork, Car Parking, Valet Services, Moving or Transfering of Vehicle to different locations, Refuelling, Tow Truck Services and more. They provide modes of contact on their platform and app so that they can be reached and contacted easily, making their services user-friendly, accessible, and affordable. Cafler has generated more than 10 million euros since its establishment. 

To Conclude: 

Concerning Innovation in the Automotive Sector, a now 19-year-old Ricard Guillem – was deemed as one of the many young and rapidly growing entrepreneurs in The United Kingdom due to his visions for an industrial transformation. A delegate of Spain to the United Nations and won the National Entrepreneur Award over by the Scientia Foundation. A vision for creating a radical reinvention, the young entrepreneur’s ideas and efforts have provided a path that has further led to a rise and growth with the use of Automotive Technology. Hence, Cafler has shaken and disrupted the industry, so that its founders could reinvent a sector so that better help could be given to the people in several services offered and curated specifically to their requirements and needs.

Ferrari to hold three-day Fiorano test with 2021 car | RaceFans Round-up

In the round-up: Ferrari will begin their track preparations for the 2023 F1 season with three days of running for their drivers at Fiorano, Italian media report. In brief Ferrari to run three-day Fiorano test with 2021 car Ferrari will begin their track preparations for the 2023 F1 season with three days of running for their drivers at Fiorano, Italian media report. Race drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jnr will have a full day each in a 2021-specification SF-21. Test drivers Antonio Giovinazzi and Robert Shwartzman will share a third day in the car. Gasly first to congratulate De Vries after 2023 announcement AlphaTauri driver Nyck de Vries says the driver whose seat he filled, Pierre Gasly, was the first person to congratulate him after he signed the contract confirming him as a race driver for 2023. Formula 2 and Formula E world champion De Vries will make his full-season debut in 2023 with AlphaTauri after Gasly left the time to fill Fernando Alonso’s vacant seat at Alpine. “Actually once the contract was signed, Pierre was the first person I spoke to,” De Vries said. “He FaceTimed me whilst I was in the gym to congratulate me, which was really nice. Of course, my family were there through the whole process and when things got more serious it was my father I spoke to about it all.” Abiteboul named Hyundai WRC team principal Former Caterham and Renault F1 team principal Cyril Abiteboul has been announced as the new team principal of the Hyundai World Rally Championship team. Abiteboul was relieved of his duties as team principal of Renault when the team transitioned into Alpine in early 2021. He takes over control of the Hyundai factory team, who have won the WRC’s constructors’ championship twice in 2019 and 2020 but have so far been unable to secure the drivers’ title. “I am excited at the prospect of being part of it, managing the WRC and Customer Racing programs, where the team has already proven to be strong competitors,” said Abiteboul. “I am looking forward to immersing myself into the rallying community and discovering more about this spectacular sport.” Two F1 teams, Williams and the Sauber-run Alfa Romeo squad, are yet to confirm who their team principal will be this year.

RAMONES RAMÓN

Los Fonemas nacen del aburrimiento por Haedo, provincia de Buenos Aires. Fede, Laucha y Ramon descubren que si expresan con instrumentos lo que sientes, puede surgir algo que guste a los demás.

Sus familias, ninguna está de acuerdo con la pasión que ellos encuentran en conectar sus instrumentos y sacar afuera lo que jamás podrían ni siquiera balbucear.

- Pero Fede, ¿cuando van a tocar en un bar o algo? - le pregunta el padre que quiere apoyar a su hijo pero no sabe cómo. - Estamos encontrando el sonido, ¿no cierto muchachos?

Laucha sale del baño, y Ramon está comiendo las papas fritas que sobraron del cumple de la abuela Claudia.

- Ey, ¿cuándo van a hacer un tema para mí? - pregunta Fabi, la hermana de Fede que a Laucha le provoca sensaciones. - Anda a estudiar vaga.- dice Fede que conecta su guitarra y nota que Ramon no está en sus mejores días. - Le estas dando mucho al aro Ramon. - Es que el baterista de los Guns… - No, pero los Guns Ramon son estrellas, nosotros somos una banda de barrio, tenes que bajar un toque. - ¿El volumen? - Sos un pelotudo Ramón. - dice Laucha que conecta el bajo, Ramon se rasca el oído. - Si, el éxito se labura. - Bueno, voy a mejorar.

Fonemas ensaya los viernes, pero últimamente el acople del garage los está limitando en sus horizontes y expectativas.

- Che pa, ¿cuando vamos a poner los maples que me dijiste? - ¿Vos decis que funciona? - Y, ¡probemos! - Claro. A ver.

Diego camina hacia el supermercado chino que cierra a las 15 hs.

- ¡Que haces Wang! - ¡Diego! - ‘Cuchame, necesito unos maple. - 100 pesos. - Nono, sin huevos, solo el carton. - Okey.

Wang corre los huevos a otros maple y le da algunos a Diego.

- ¡Sos el number one, Wang!

Y Diego vuelve caminando en chancletas hacia su garaje, donde supo tener un Renault Fuego. Fede intenta despegar la cinta scotch con los dientes.

- No Fede, mandale clavos papa. - ¿Seguro? Es tu garage viejo. - Ya fue hijo, rock n’ roll. - Ayudame Laucha.

Laucha intenta clavar los clavos pero insiste en mirar a Fabiana que agarra coca cola de la heladera. Juntos ponen los maple y Ramon vuelve del zapatero donde su tío trabaja.

- Que son, ¿maples? - Si Ramón, es para el sonido. - A ver probá la bata.

Ramón prueba pero es evidente que no hay mucho cambio en el sonido.

- Ya fue, vamo a tocar. ¿Qué es eso Laucha? - Ah nada, una letra que hice recién.

Fede la lee y entiende la cursiva esa.

- ¡Ramon hacé silencio! - Ok.

Ramon no lo dice pero reprime todas las objeciones sin justificar de los deseos de sus amigos que quieren ser estrellas del rock. Sin embargo Ramón es de esos seres que solamente redirigen la frustración hacia el bien. Quedan, algunos, Ramones.

- Che me gusta Laucha, a ver vamos con un escala común...

- Ey, que paso? - Se corto la luz. - ¡Chicos se cortó la luz! - dice Fabi que baja corriendo y Laucha no la mira esta vez, a propósito. -¡Que verga! - Ramon, de atras.

Fede se rasca el mentón e intenta tomar coca-cola pero se le vuelca sobre el parlante principal.

- ¡La concha de la lora! -Tranca - le dice Laucha - quizás suena mejor.

La luz vuelve, los chicos se miran, y Fede, que tiende a empujar, pide la de Ramon:

Y así, los Fonemas empezaron a girar por la ciudad, dicen que todavía tocan por ahi, que Laucha no encuentra el momento, que Fede quiere ser ingeniero, y que Ramón es Ramón.

Another race weekend had come around and as usual he came along to support his boyfriend Javier who drove for the Renault team. He was basically forced by Javier to come along, though - it wasn’t exactly like he had a choice. Javier wanted to put up this perfect picture to the outside world, he wanted to make it seem like he had it all while in reality their relationship was really unhealthy and toxic. At first Javier had been the most loving boyfriend he could ever wish for and their relationship was genuinely perfect, he was so in love with him but after a couple of months things started to change drastically. Javier didn’t do so well in Formula One anymore and he ended up blaming Diego for it which resulted in abuse and assault. Javier was playing mind tricks on him too which caused him to believe he deserved this and that he was asking for it himself. Javier also threatened him and his family, which was why he didn’t dare to break up with him either.

Unfortunately Javier ended up doing really bad at Monza which resulted in a P18 and as expected he got the blame again. He made sure to stay close to the pit crew, knowing Javier wouldn’t dare to make a move around so many people. Though Javier eventually ended up taking him along to somewhere quiet where no one could see or hear them, or well so he thought. ‘’This is all your fault! You ruined it for me, again!’’ Javier shouted at him, wrapping his hand around his throat and lifted him a little. ‘’You’re worthless and you make my life miserable. You can’t do anything right, you ruin everything’’ he grunted, tightening his grip on his throat a little before he slammed his head against the nearest wall. 

‘‘P-please let g-go of me’‘ he breathed, barely being able to speak because Javier squeezed his throat so tightly. ‘‘I-it won’t happen a-again, I-I promise. I’ll do anything to make it better. Please let me go, y-you’re hurting me’‘ he whimpered, moaning in pain when Javier ended up smashing his head against the wall again. ‘‘That’s what you keep saying everytime! See how that worked out, huh?’‘ Javier grunted, squeezing into his throat again. ‘‘P18 Diego, do you have any idea how bad that is, huh? All because you’re such a worthless piece of shit’‘ he said, quivering from anger. ‘‘I-I already s-said sorry, p-please. S-stop’‘ he breathed, trying to gasp for air and squirmed around a little.

The panel also included two clips shown for Comic-Con attendees. The first revealed the film's slapstick humor, which is being likened to Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It shows the party in a graveyard interrogating dead people using a spell from Justice Smith's character, who is the party's mage.

Chris Pine, the resident bard, comedically interviews a few of the lost souls, and we're treated to a flashback to a battle featuring a dragon.

But it's the second clip that D&D fans will really appreciate, as it's packed full of easter eggs from throughout the franchise's history. The clip shows the party in a maze orchestrated by Hugh Grant's character, the villain of the piece, and a gladiator arena filled with other D&D parties. Plenty of D&D monsters appear during the clips, including Displacer Beasts, a Mimic, and a Gelatinous Cube.

Amusingly, one of the opposing parties competing with Honor Among Thieves' heroes bear a strong resemblance to the characters from the D&D animated series that ran from 1983 to 1985. That party was led by Hank, the 15-year-old Ranger; a spoiled Cavalier named Eric; Diana, an Acrobat; Presto, the Magian, and more. How will Chris Pine and co fare against Bobby the Barbarian and the rest of the animated series' teenaged crew? We'll just have to see.

The gauntlet was clearly thrown by Renault and the Brazilian fans. How are they going to top the car commercial?

Someone who was there, details?

Esta es mi foto favorita con papá. Hoy fue la primera vez desde diciembre de 2016 que escucho su voz. Acabo de ver un episodio de glee en el que el padre de Kurt entra en coma, pensé que ver ese tipo de cosas en series ya no me afectaba, pero a diferencia de mi intuición, me afectan mucho. 

Una vez finalizado el capitulo, me puse a pensar en la voz de mi padre y en la debilidad de mi memoria que ya había borrado ese recuerdo. En mi computadora tengo descargadas una serie de fotos con mi papá, mi abuelo y algunos de mis tíos, esa carpeta se llama “childhood”. Entré, dispuesta a llorar por un rato más y mientras mis lágrimas mojaban mis jeans gastados, recordé una segunda carpeta en la que guardaba las fotos que mi viejo había sacado con la cámara digital. 

En MEDIA100 había todo tipo de fotos: fotos mías con papá en reuniones familiares, fotos con mi prima Soledad y su hija Melanie. Había también fotos más actuales de mi hermano jugando con la luz del fuego de un encendedor y fotos mías en pijama riendo, había fotos de fotos analogicas, una de mi papá con Lorena y Diego en la hamaca de la heladería “LorDie”, con papá íbamos todos los domingos a la tarde y pedimos un kilo de helado para tomar con mi abuelo mientras mirábamos la televisión, a mi viejo le gustaba mucho la menta granizada (como a mi) así que nunca era problemático el momento de decisión de sabores.  

Lo que más me llamó la atención fueron unas fotos con Karen (mi ex niñera y la ex novia de mi papá) en la Costanera Sur. Había fotos individuales de cada uno al lado de la estatua de un tal Pascual Pérez, boxeador que si bien yo no sabía que existía, debía ser conocido ya que tenía una estatua en la CS. Había también fotos de Karen posando con el río sucio y los árboles caídos, hacia poses de modelo con sus nikes rosas, su jogging gris que estaba apretado en la parte de la cola pero holgado en los tobillos, su remera de goofy y esa campera blanca que se distingue a metro de distancia. Fotos de Karen sentada en un banquito, mirando por un visor panorámico, parada al lado de un cartel de las flores que había en la reserva natural. Había fotos de papá y mi ex niñera sentados en un tronco lleno de moho, sonriendo en el atardecer y besandose. 

Dentro de esa carpeta de fotos, había otra mini carpeta llamada “videos”. Yo nunca había abierto esa carpeta, me daba terror, sabía que era lo más cercano a volver a ver a mi viejo y nunca me animé a tanto pero ya que mi mente fallaba y no podía recordar su voz, una pequeña ayuda no me iba a venir mal. Abrí la carpeta con total fortaleza y al segundo click ya estaba llorando. Había cuatro videos, tres eran mi papá y su amada en la reserva y otro era de la tarde en la que recibí un premio del liceo cultural británico. 

El primer video empieza siendo grabado por Karen, enfocan sus pies mientras caminan por la tierra arenosa de la reserva y con su voz aguda le dice a mi papá “saluda a la cámara”. Papá siempre fue una persona divertida y elocuente, con toda gracia y una sonrisa, mira a cámara por unos segundos y posa delicadamente con una mano en la cintura. Él pregunta “Está filmando?” y ante la positiva de su novia, entrá en su personaje de guia turistica en esas tierras desconocidas y le dice (esta vez mirando a Karen) mostrando el camino “Entremos en el bosque”. Ella es muy atenta y risueña, siempre le avisa a papá cuando está viniendo un auto o cuando está por pisar un charco de barro y se ríe ante la torpeza de padre. Tiene una risa contagiosa, cinco ji agudos y secos “jijijijiji”. Luego él toma la cámara y a modo de selfie se filman caminando y riendo, se ven felices, papá se ve despreocupado y enamorado, ella se notaba alerta por miedo a que la pesquen con su amante. Karen tenía un marido y dos hijos, cuando yo era más chica recuerdo vagamente haber ido al cine a ver la película de Wallace y Gromit con ellos. Papá describe lo que vé mientras avanzan y van dejando los edificios atrás para adentrarse en la selva de cemento que la ciudad ofrece. Cuenta que vió un renault negro, un chico en bici que da vueltas por el predio, “hay muchos árboles y mucha naturaleza”. Para cortar con el video y en un intento de romper con la cuarta pared, papá saluda a sus televidentes (en este caso su hija) y remata “muchas gracias por escucharme, besos”. 

El segundo video, muy similar al anterior pero esta vez enfocando el camino y el cielo. Al costado del camino había muchos sauces llorones con ramas muy muy finitas y casi sin hojas, el cielo estaba cubierto por una nube un poco borrosa que parecía pinceladas improvisados por Dios. Ahora relataba Karen y miraba para su izquierda a un predio pastoso en el que había mini mesas de ajedrez con banquitos de cemento “la parejita, una señora que está ahí” dice. Pasa un señor corriendo una carrera consigo mismo, tiene una remera azul y papá lo mira y se pregunta contra quién corría. Caminando encuentran un camino secreto entre los árboles y papá entra, Karen tiene miedo y le dice que tenga cuidado, que se va a pinchar, pero a él no le importa y cual ninja esquiva toda rama para abrirse paso entre la naturaleza porteña. Cuando se da cuenta de que emprender ese camino puede llevarlo a lugares “no amigables” y llenos de bichos dice “no mejor no, me van a comer los bichos y yo tengo una hija”. 

Cuando dijo eso me quedé congelada y el video pasaba solo, no escuchaba ni veía nada, en mi cabeza se repetía en loop esa última frase “tengo una hija”. Yo también pienso en vos.

El tercer y ultimo video selvático son ellos riendo y caminando entre árboles, es un video de 13 segundos y papá termina diciendo “hasta luego, adiós”.

“I Wish to the Devil the Country was Prepared”

In early January 1932, Robert E. Howard in a letter to H. P. Lovecraft had this to say:

“I love peace, yet I wouldnt [sic] mind a war right now such a hell of a lot, if the country was prepared; but it isnt [sic]. Japan knows it; that’s why she thinks she can kick the flag around, beat up American officials, and get away with it. I wish to the devil the country was prepared.”

This comment was in relation to Japan’s recent seizure of Manchuria in late 1931. Historians often view this as the first shot that would lead to World War 2.

I recently read Cry Havoc: The Arms Race and the Second World War 1931-1941 by Joe Maiolo. It fits in with After the Trenches by William O. Odom, Linn’s Guardians of Empire, and Geoffrey Perrett’s There’s a War to be Won.

Maiolo makes the case that Stalin’s First Five Year Plan set off the 1930s arms race that led to WW2. The Japanese made a gamble to grab Manchuria before the Red Army was modernized and too powerful.

Robert E. Howard was correct. The U.S was not in a good condition to fight a war. But then again, that is the condition it generally goes into war. In 1932, the U.S. Army had 133, 200 men. The National Defense Act of 1920 called for 17,000 officers and 280,000 enlisted men. The National Guard was to be at 435,000 men.

The U.S Army had received no new equipment after WW1. In the 1930s, it was still using the British Mark VIII “Liberty” tank and had 950 French Renault FT-17 made under license. The Renault FT-17 was used up through the 1930s so in terms of quality, not at a disadvantage.

Renault FT-17 Tank

There were designs on the books for new artillery such as the 105 mm howitzer but in 1932, the Army was still using 75 mm and 155 mm cannons of WW1 vintage. Mortars were 3 inch trench mortars with often faulty ammunition due improper storage.

What the U.S. Army had plenty of were around 2 million M1917 Enfield rifles in Cosmoline. During WW1, Winchester, Remington, and Eddystone could produce Enfields in far greater numbers than Springfield Armory with the Springfield ’03 rifle. Corporal (later Sergeant) Alvin York used the M1917 Enfield on that October day in 1918 where he picked off one German after another. Most U.S. Army units in WW1 carried Enfields.

The Enfield was accurate but long (46.25 inches). It does have that short and smooth action the Enfield series of rifles is known for. Some had been sold to the civilian market, but the supply seemed inexhaustible. They were used in basic training during WW2. In the late 1930s, the Army sold around 40,000 a year to the Philippine Commonwealth for the army that Gen. Douglas MacArthur was supposed to create. Enfields were also sold to the Free French, Nationalist Chinese, Irish Free State, and the Royal Netherlands Indies Army. I have seen pictures of stacks of Enfields handed out to Philippine guerrillas in WW2. Some were sent to Britain after Dunkirk. Rear echelon troops such as Signal Corps in the Pacific had Enfields late in WW2. All the M-1 carbines were being sent to Europe. The M1917 is still in use by the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol in Greenland. The Patrol is an elite unit of the Danish Navy. The M1917 works in extreme cold conditions.

M1917 Enfield

The official rifle of the U.S. Army in 1932 was the Springfield ’03. The Army had somewhere around 800,000 of those left over from WW1. It is an accurate rifle owing its action to the Mauser.

The U.S. Army had 102,174 Browning Automatic Rifles from WW1. Ever talk to WW2 vets, they liked the BAR. It was heavy, weighing around 19 lbs. It was originally designed for suppressing fire crossing no-man’s land. Bonnie and Clyde used BARs and did Frank Hamer who took out Bonnie and Clyde. Foreign especially British writers hate the BAR calling it a poor light machine gun. It was used sort of as an LMG but gave a rifle squad a little more fire power. The Marines had two BARS per rifles squad in WW2.

The M1919 Browning machine gun began service right after WW1 and used up through Vietnam. John Moses Browning was a firearms genius.

The Thompson submachine gun was not adopted until 1938 by the U.S. Army but in use by the Navy and Marines. So, overall, the U.S. was in similar condition to all other great powers following WW1 with small arms.

The biggest problem is the U.S. Army had no large-scale training exercises during most of the 1930s due to lack of funding. Gen. Douglas MacArthur fought tooth and nail to keep the Army from being further by Roosevelt but money was not present for training.

A bright spot is the Army Air Corps. The Air Corps took 20% of expenditures in 1933. The U.S. at least kept up with new designs of aircraft and some purchases. The Curtis P6-E Hawk would have been the standard “pursuit” plane in those last years of bi-wing airplanes.

Out of 133,200 men, 25% of the U.S. Army was overseas. The old thinking of garrisons strewn across colonial empires ready to deal with any local emergencies.  U. S. Army strength overseas:

Philippines: 11,744 (5207 Army, 6537 Philippine Scouts). Three infantry regiments, four coast artillery, one cavalry regiments, two field artillery regiments.

Hawaii: 14,223. The Hawaiian Division (“The Pineapple Army”) and coast artillery.

Alaska: two understrength companies at Juneau.

Panama: 2 infantry regiments, 2 coast artillery regiments, 1 battalion field artillery

Tientsin, China: 15th Infantry Regiment at 2 battalions

Puerto Rico: 65th Infantry Regiment.

Another 20% of the U.S. Army was on the Mexican border. The 2nd Infantry Division was kept at full strength at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. The 1st Cavalry Division at Ft. Bliss, Texas at 9,595 men; the 24th Infantry Regiment, one of the Army’s two black infantry regiments was at Ft. Huachuca in Arizona on the border.

The Washington Treaty of 1922 restricted the U.S. Navy. The Navy had 11 battleships, 3 fleet carriers, 19 cruisers, 102 destroyers, 55 submarines for two oceans. The Navy had 93,384 personnel.

The U.S. Marines stood at 16,561. The Marines were scattered from Shanghai in China to Cuba in small detachments. The 4th Marine Regiment had been in Shanghai with two battalions. The North China Marines fluctuated between 200-300 men at this time.

REH to HPL, 1932: “Along the Border there is a definite undercurrent of expectation, or at least apprehension, of Mexican invasion in case of war. There has been a persistent rumor, every [sic] since the last war, of the mysterious presence and vaguely sinister activities of a hundred thousand Japanese in the interior of Mexico.”

The Mexican Revolution from 1910-1920 gets most historical press. Mexico continued to have turmoil through the 1920s and 30s. Some were regional military commander led revolts against downsizing. The Yaqui Indians in northern Mexico fought the Mexican government 1926-27. There was the Cristero Rebellion 1927-29 and Cedillo Rebellion 1938-39.

Closer to home for Robert E. Howard was the San Diego Plan of 1915. Named after the small town of San Diego in southern Texas, the manifesto stated:

“On the 20th day of February, 1915, at two o’clock in the morning, we will arise in arms against the Government and Country of the United States of North America, ONE AS ALL AND AS ONE, proclaiming the liberty of individuals of the black race and its independence of Yankee tyranny which has held us in iniquitous slavery since remote times.”

In the summer of 1915, Mexican rebels and bandits (Sedicionistas) launched 30 raids against targets carried from across the Rio Grande River. The Seditionistas killed almost two-dozen U.S. citizens including kidnapping, torturing, and decapitating a U.S. soldier displaying his head on a pole in the border. The Anglo-Texan response was with extreme prejudice including extra-judicial executions in retaliation. Robert E. Howard would have been nine years old during these events.

The 2nd Infantry Division and 1st Cavalry were kept at full strength through the 1920s and 30s ready to deal with Mexico.

Could war have happened in 1932? The U.S. was so weak militarily that Japan contemptuously went about its aggression with little fear. The U.S. simply could not intimidate Japan. There was a chance of a clash with the North China Marines at Peking and the 15th Infantry Regiment at Tientsin sparking a wider war. The Japanese could have taken out scattered, isolated U.S. detachments in China, Philippines, and even Hawaii.

The plan was for the U.S. Navy to rush to relieve the Philippines in War Plan Orange while the Philippine garrison retreated to the Bataan peninsula and Corregidor island. It was thought it would take the Japanese six months just to cut through the jungle to get to American lines.

A daring attack by the Japanese on Panama could have put the canal out of use. Opportunistic politicians or generals in Mexico under Japanese encouragement could have attacked along the U.S.–Mexico border in the hope of regaining the South West. The Japanese could have trainers and advisors with the Mexican Army. They even could have a regiment of infantry to stiffen up their allies.

The U.S. could find itself with almost 25% of its army gone and another 20% desperately holding the border with no new tanks, no new artillery. It would take around eight months before you get the skeletal army and National Guard divisions filled out and trained. The Army at least had lots of rifles in storage. There were over 2 million WW1 veterans. A fair number would have been still young enough and in acceptable physical shape to provide a trained reserve to draw upon.

American industry would be able to supply plenty of trucks and other vehicles but things like tanks and cannons would take time.

Curtis P-6 Hawk

The Army Air Corps first monoplane P-26 fighter was a year away from first deliveries and the B-10 bomber two years. The Curtis P-6 Hawk, the last biplane used by the Army Air Corp would have been the plane used along the Mexican border and patrolling the West Coast.

Perhaps some sort of new tank would have been produced. An imaginary tank linking the WW1 leftovers and the M-2 tank of the late 1930s could have been produced.

The Japanese Navy could sail at will along the California coast shelling Los Angeles and San Francisco. There would not be much the U.S. could do about it for a while. In the long run, the U.S. would pummel Mexico into submission. A young Robert E. Howard joins up in the Texas National Guard (36th Infantry Division) or the Army to give the Mexicans and Japanese hell.

If there were an opportune time for the Japanese to attack, it would have been around 1936-1937. The U.S. Army would have another four years of deteriorating equipment and financial starvation. Franklin Roosevelt had taken officers out of active duty for one of his New Deal programs. They ran Civilian Conservation Corps camps. The U.S. was lucky in that a generation of young men were in a quasi-military environment providing pre-basic training. Roosevelt admired Mussolini and Stalin’s central controlled economies and emulated them. Hitler had very similar camps for German youth at the same time.

The U.S. was lucky in that when war came, a new generation of planes, tanks, rifles, vehicles were coming off the assembly lines. The Japanese and Italians were off by 10 years. Both had up modern armies for the early 1930s.  Involvement in wars during the 30s delayed modernization giving the Allies the upper hand.

A war in 1932 would have looked a lot like something at the end of WW1 with bolt action rifles, bi-planes, primitive tanks. The 1st Cavalry Division would have been on horseback on the border with some old armored cars confined to the probably few functioning roads in northern Mexico. The Marines might have made a landing at Veracruz with a thrust to Mexico City to put an end of that part of the war.  The expanding army would have made its mistakes and growing pains in Mexico. The .30-06 cartridge used in the ’03 Springfield, M1917 Enfield, and Browning Automatic Rifle was perfect for fighting in the open territory of the border. If Mexico did not join with Japan, there would have been a period of just some naval clashes for up to two years. The Japanese might have invaded Alaska making for a scenario of warfare in polar conditions.

The fleet would begin the hard fight across the Pacific as laid out in various versions of War Plan Orange would get underway ending with a blockade of Japan. By the 1930s, Navy admirals had a realistic view of a Pacific War with an island-hopping campaign through the Japanese Mandate islands including the Marshall and Caroline Islands. The Army said it could hold out in the Philippines for 6 months, the Navy estimated a two-year campaign across the Pacific to get the Philippines. So, the Army commander of the Philippine Department would be surrendering before help arrived. It was a command that few relished.

The U.S. could have trained Chinese troops to tie down the Japanese Army. Who knows, the Soviets might have joined in taking Manchuria from Japan once the war turned.

A war in 1932 with Japan and Mexico is an interesting topic. Gen. Douglas MacArthur was Chief of Staff of the U.S Army so there would be drama to the conflict. Who knows, maybe Grandpa Theobald would have volunteered as an ambulance driver like he tried to do in WW1.

Local Police Hijacked A Stolen Truck

It was after a persecution in which the criminals fled

This week in one of the Illicit Prevention Operations that the Lanusense Police does daily kidnapped thanks to the leadership of Diego Kravetz as security chief of the Municipality of Lanús, a Renault Cangoo van that had been abandoned by criminals after a persecution .

On the afternoon of Monday, June 24, in an operation to prevent illicit local agents visualized a Renault Cangoo truck that was circulating in the area of ​​Dr. Rosa and October 17, Lomas de Zamora, whose drivers had a suspicious attitude so much that account of the police presence began to flee which caused the beginning of a persecution that ended with the criminals getting lost and managing to escape through the streets of Lomas de Zamora and the vehicle in question being abandoned.

In this way, the van, a white Renault Cangoo, which was driven by criminals was quickly kidnapped by local police who when they made inquiries about the wheeled finds that he had an active complaint for theft.

It is very common in cases where criminals use vehicles that have been stolen to commit new crimes, particularly robberies on public roads. For this reason, the controls that are made to vehicles of any characteristic are of vital importance since not only future robberies are avoided but also they occur with stolen rounds that stop being at the service of the delinquency and are returned to their corresponding owners . In particular, motorcycles are the vehicles most used to commit crimes on public roads, that is why operatives were created to supervise particularly motorcycles. However, cars, trucks, are not exempt from being used for dishonest purposes, so as part of the vehicle control operations also controls the origin and status of this type of road.

Volkswagen picks San Diego's Qualcomm to supply chips for autonomous driving efforts

Qualcomm has inked a deal to supply chips to Volkswagen Group to help power driver assistance and autonomous driving features in the German auto maker's vehicles starting in 2025.

The financial terms were not disclosed. The companies haven't said yet which models would be the first to get Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride processors for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Level 4 autonomy —which means fully self-driving but with the motorists still behind the wheel to take control if necessary.

The agreement highlights the traction that Qualcomm—best known for designing chips that power Android smartphones—is getting as a technology supplier to vehicle makers as part of its diversification strategy.

The San Diego company rung up nearly $1 billion in automotive revenue in fiscal 2021. It's on pace to beat that amount this year. Its pipeline of pending orders totals $16 billion, with customers including BMW, GM/Cadillac, Ferrari, Renault, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Fiat, among others.

Under terms of this Volkswagen deal, Qualcomm will supply Snapdragon Ride processors to CARIAD , a division created in 2020 by Volkswagen Group to develop a unified software platform across its brands, which include Audi, Porche and Bentley.

"With our automated driving solutions, we are striving to let customers take their hands off the steering wheel in the future," said CARIAD Chief Executive Dirk Hilgenberg in a statement. "Our software and Qualcomm Technologies' high-performance (hardware) are the perfect match to bring this new automotive experience to customers around the world."

Qualcomm has its own ADAS and autonomous driving software stack. It includes drive policy and other functionality that it got through its recent acquisition of Arriver.

But Qualcomm's Snapdragon Ride platform is open—meaning it can be tailored to run software developed by others, including automakers themselves.

This flexibility is how Qualcomm aims to compete against Intel's Mobileye, the industry leader in ADAS/autonomous driving technology.

"As the amount of innovation and complexities increase, strong collaborations such as ours with CARIAD are a necessity to not only address aggressive time-to-market goals, but to deliver safe and reliable automated driving experiences for all," said Nakul Duggal, senior vice president of automotive for Qualcomm, in a statement.

Qualcomm also aims to gain a foothold with automakers by supplying a wide range of technology products beyond ADAS/autonomous driving. They include chips and software that delivers connectivity, infotainment, telematics and digital dashboard capabilities.

Qualcomm's shares ended trading Tuesday down slightly at $144.26 on the Nasdaq exchange.
