ESPAÑA: EXPO-BELLEZA ANDALUCÍA 2023 Feria de la Belleza, Salud y Bienestar

SPAIN: EXPO-BELLEZA ANDALUCÍA 2023 Beauty, Health and Well-being Fair MARÍA PIÑA Periodista – Escritora Consejera Delegada Global de La Mujer Saludos cordiales mis muy queridos lectores del mundo. Sabéis que me apasiona todo lo que tiene que ver con la Mujer y por ello hoy vengo a contarles que el pasado sábado 4 de febrero asistí con mis amigas Rocío Ferrón (Personal Shopper) y Estela Carmona…

[in-a-continuous-daydream]

It makes me so happy that Society of the Snow tells the story with so much respect towards survivors and even those who didn’t make it. It’s beautiful that families could have some sort of closure with it. Every actor gave their all and involved themselves so much in the story, truly a movie with so much heart.

As a latin american it makes me happy that Bayona took care of telling the story with actors with a rioplatense accent, like the survivors. This story had to be told that way: with respect, realness and love.

I am hoping it wins the Oscar for best international movie, imo, it should’ve been nominated for best film period.

They present themselves as rebels against the system, fighting to preserve a piece of local woodland.

Yet many of the terrorist suspects arrested and charged over occupying government property and the violent attack in downtown Atlanta on Saturday are children of pampered privilege from out of state.

Hundreds of far-left activists, including Antifa, had gathered on Saturday evening at the Five Points neighborhood in downtown Atlanta to protest the death of their comrade who died in a shootout with police earlier in the week at an occupation south of the city.

On Jan. 18, Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, of Tallahasse, Fla., shot and severely injured a Georgia State Patrol trooper at the so-called “autonomous zone” before being killed by returning fire from police. The year-and-a-half long occupation is at the heart of the “Stop Cop City” movement to shut down the construction of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, a proposed training site for law enforcement and first responders. They hate it because it’s a police center, but also claim that they are protecting a forest.

At Saturday’s gathering, masked militants dressed head to toe in black marched in the streets, shouting: “If you build it, we will burn it.”

They then smashed up businesses, cars and the Atlanta Police Foundation building. An Atlanta police cruiser was set on fire with an explosive. Livestream videos recorded at the scene showed the violent extremists working in an organized manner, such as using a large vigil banner to hide the rioters who torched the vehicle and grabbing large rocks from a shared bag to use as projectiles.

Some of those arrested represent the sort of professional leftist agitator who have popped up across the country after George Floyd’s death:

Francis Carroll is the son of a yacht-sailing, multi-millionaire family.

Carroll was already out on bail for a domestic terrorism arrest at the Atlanta autonomous zone last month. He is the son of a yacht-sailing, multi-millionaire family and hails from the wealthy Maine city of Kennebunkport, also home to former president George W. Bush.

Carroll, who lived in his parent’s mansion before going to Atlanta, was among six people arrested and charged with domestic terrorism, aggravated assault and other crimes on Dec. 13 following a string of property attacks around the area, a carjacking and assaults on officers. They were all bailed out by activists who crowdfunded their legal defense using Twitter.

Madeleine “Henri” Feola is orginally from the wealthy Portland, Ore., suburb of Happy Valley.

Feola is a trans nonbinary activist and 2022 alumna of Oberlin College, where they studied archaeological studies with a focus on decolonization. They’re from the wealthy Portland, Ore., suburb of Happy Valley before relocating to Spokane, Wash. Feola authored a February 2022 blog post on the American Scientist titled, “It’s Time to Stop Gatekeeping Medical Transition.”

Emily Kathryn Murphy says her own family “doesn’t fully understand what being vegan means.”

Murphy is a middle-class vegan activist who previously served as the at-large chair for the Chicago chapter of Al Gore’s “Climate Reality Project” organization before becoming further radicalized into eco-ideology. “I have been vegan five and a half years now, and, no matter how much explaining I do, my own family still doesn’t fully understand what being vegan means,” Murphy complained once in a blog post for the group.

Ivan James Ferguson is an award-winning classically trained clarinet player.

Ferguson is a 23-year-old award-winning classically trained clarinettist from Henderson, Nev. who studied at the prestigious San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Before becoming radicalized, Ferguson regularly performed in classical concerts in California and Nevada.

They’ve each been charged with: felony domestic terrorism, felony interference with government property, felony first-degree arson, felony second-degree criminal damage, riot, unlawful assembly, willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer and pedestrian in roadway.

At an emergency press conference following the riot, Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens revealed a shocking discovery: “Some of them were found with explosives on them. You heard that correctly, explosives.”

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies have tried multiple times to end the violent occupation of the woods. Yet militants have regrouped and continued to occupy the area, heeding the call shared on anarchist sites for comrades to “defend the Atlanta forest.” At the first police raid in May 2022, police were met with Molotov cocktails. The GBI also said it found gas masks and edged weapons at the raid.

During the protest, an Atlanta police cruiser was set on fire with an explosive.FOX 5

Among the previous arrests were more privileged protesters:

* Teresa Yue Shen, a Brooklyn woman arrested on Jan. 18 who graduated from Barnard College before working at Reuters and CNN, according to her LinkedIn. She is charged with domestic terrorism.

* Abigail Elizabeth Skapyak, of Minneapolis. Skapyak is a former Justice Department intern who graduated from American University. She was arrested on May 17.

* Marianna Hoitt-Lange, a violinist who graduated from New York University. She was arrested on May 17.

* Madeleine “Matthias” Gunther Kodat, of Philadelphia, is the daughter of the former provost and dean of faculty at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis. who was arrested on May 17.

Protesters torch police car, damage businesses in Atlanta after activist killed

In November, rioters tried to set a man on fire who drove into the area.

“It seemed to me like they were going to burn the truck with me in it,” Richard Porter told 11Alive News at the time. He was forced to flee for his life as his truck was torched. In early December, two under-construction homes next to the occupation were burned to the ground. The same month, another raid resulted in six being arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.

Serena Hertal, of Sun Valley, Idaho, was one of the militants charged with domestic terrorism, aggravated assault and criminal trespass. She graduated from Pitzer College, a private liberal arts university in Claremont, Calif. where yearly costs are over $82,000.In addition to the weekend violence in Atlanta over the shooting death of the gunman, far-left sympathizers from around the country have held solidarity direct actions and urged retributive violence. “Scenes from the Atlanta Forest,” a collective that represents the autonomous zone, called for “reciprocal violence” against police in a heavily shared post on Twitter.

In solidarity with the Atlanta occupation, the trans child of Democratic House Minority Whip Katherine Clark was arrested for alleged vandalism and assault of an officer. Jared “Riley” Dowell, 23, was charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon, destruction of injury of personal property and damage of property by graffiti.

In Lansing, militants attacked a bank, writing, “Stop cop city.” Six were arrested. A Portland UPS center was also purportedly set on fire, with a claim of responsibility posted online saying it was retribution over their comrade’s death.

“We call for more actions directly toward the companies that are donating to and funding the Cop City project in Atlanta. Forest defenders have a right to stay in the forest, and groups will continue to retaliate until the Cop City Project is canceled,” reads the anonymous statement.

“¿SÍ TODO LO QUE QUERÉS NUNCA EXISTÍO?”

TÍTULO: El Eternauta

GUIONISTA: Héctor Germán Oesterheld

ILUSTRADOR: Francisco Solano López

  La mayoría de los países del mundo quedaron vacíos por un problema fatal, el Eternauta, su esposa, hija y amigos se las ingenian para poder conseguir alimento y medicinas. Se enteran de que hay sobrevivientes pero ya no son ciudadanos que se ayudan unos a los otros, si no diferentes grupos de personas con un interés en común, sobrevivir.

   Esta novela gráfica enseña valores como amor por tus seres queridos, porque se protegen unos a otros, fortaleza, ya que nunca se pusieron en estado de depresión aunque todo lo que más quisieron no exista y creatividad, para solucionar los problemas que iban llegando.

Es recomendada para los amantes de la ciencia ficción que desde 1957 inspira a los lectores a transportarse a Buenos Aires y vivir estás viñetas tan detalladas que te hacen sentir que conoces a los personajes desde siempre, es para  todos aquellos que quieren recorrer estas páginas increíbles, llenándose de intriga por este mundo tan particular.

  Espero que haya sido de utilidad!!!

Palabras de la griega

No me guardes en tu imaginación. No me pienses. Tus ojos están llenos de espléndida ponzoña. No me mires. Que mi saliva te inunde la garganta. No me asfixies. Deja de agusanar mi mente confundida. No me pudras. Guarda mis incisivos en una caja de plata pero no te arrodilles ante sus resplandores. No me reces. Que mis ropajes no sirvan de velamen a los navíos sin patria. No me rasgues. Que mis coágulos no vivan en tus uñas ni en los nudillos que derriban templos. No me maldigas. En la herida la sal halle su suerte.

[manuelbs2017]

Hoy 5 de julio celebramos en Venezuela nuestra independencia, fecha propicia para reflexionar sobre ella. Desde Francisco de Miranda, su precursor e ideólogo hasta el General en Jefe José Antonio Paez, tenemos una gran cantidad de hechos y personas que nos llevaron al estado de país independiente ante la comunidad de naciones. Nuestra independencia no se hubiera logrado sin el empeño, tezón y genialidad de Simón Bolivar, a quien honraremos siempre como nuestro Libertador, gran genio de todos los tiempos, sol de América y Venezolano universal, sus proezas opacaron a cualquier gran capitán de la historia mundial.

La gran reflexión que deseo dejarles es sobre la figura tan atacada a manera injusta de José Antonio Paez, primera lanza de Venezuela. Ha sido tildado de traidor, inculto y varias cosas más. Para quienes investigamos y nos gusta la historia, sabemos que era autodidacta, le fascinaba la lectura, impulsó la instrucción, la creación de bibliotecas y hasta nos dio nuestro gentilicio.

¿Gentilicio?, pues SI, tenemos el orgullo de llamarnos venezolanos gracias a su decisión por separarse de La Gran Colombia. Al finalizar la guerra de independencia Americana, pasamos de ser Neogranadinos a Gran Colombianos, de Capitanía General adscrita al Virreinato de Bogotá pasamos a provincia de la Gran Colombia.

Paez impulsó un movimiento llamado La Cosiata, nos separó y declaró la República de Venezuela como país libre e independiente ante el mundo, en su auto biografía lo dice "yo no luche tanto en la guerra para ser provincia de nadie", convirtiéndose en nuestro primer presidente.

Habrá quien critique este post, seguramente, pero honor a quien honor merece, hoy celebramos ser VENEZOLANOS, no Gran Colombianos, Colombianos ni otra cosa.

Feliz día de la independencia para todos.

Autodesk acquires XR firm The Wild

GamesBeat Summit 2022 returns with its largest event for leaders in gaming on April 26-28th. Reserve your spot here!

Autodesk has acquired extended reality (XR) firm The Wild as it aims to provide enterprise services for companies working on the metaverse.

San Francisco-based Autodesk will get access to The Wild’s cloud-connected, XR platform, which includes its namesake solutions that enable architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals to present, collaborate, and review projects together in immersive and interactive experiences, from anywhere and at any time.

This acquisition enables Autodesk to meet increasing needs for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology advancements within the AEC industry and further support AEC customers throughout the project delivery lifecycle.

Serving more than 700 customers worldwide across its two platforms, The Wild’s XR technologies offers affordable, on-demand and in-context opportunities for deeper team collaboration. Its virtual format empowers remote workforces amid a rapidly evolving work landscape and offers an immersive environment for real-time ideation and decision making, the companies said.

“Our acquisition of The Wild reflects the rapid transformation taking place in the building industry, from the complexity of projects to the geographic diversity of teams who design, construct, and operate them,” said Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk, in a statement. “XR is a must-have business imperative for today and an important part of Autodesk’s Forge platform vision.”

Autodesk is moving into XR with The Wild.

The Wild’s virtual platform allows teams to work together inside digital project models to explore, interact, and make changes to the model directly in the cloud. This leads to better decisions and project outcomes at a fraction of the time and cost for in-person collaboration methods, the companies said.

“The Wild and Autodesk share a common mission of encouraging a more productive and collaborative AEC industry, and in this case, one where teams can resolve issues in minutes from their desks rather than the traditional miles of costly travel,” said Gabe Paez, CEO of The Wild, in a statement. “The Wild’s customers understand the value from the get-go, building consensus as a team in the virtual world with the ability to make changes to their designs at the speed of thought.”

A convergence of events makes this the right time for Autodesk’s acquisition of The Wild’s talent and technology and leveraging them as the foundation of Autodesk’s XR journey, said Nic Fonta, general manager of XR at Autodesk.

In an email to ventureBeat, Fonta said, “We believe extended reality (XR) technology will revolutionize data interaction and project collaboration for every professional, especially those in the AEC industry. It will profoundly change the industries we serve, as well as how our customers work and interact within their teams and with their clients. Our acquisition of The Wild further bolsters this vision – providing the immersive platform AEC professionals both want and need for complex data visualization, deeper real-time team collaboration, and better outcomes, and establishes a strong foundation for Autodesk’s overall XR journey.”

Why XR matters

The Wild believes XR matters for making better decisions.

Autodesk that XR can help with greater workforce resiliency and remote collaboration, which has increased significantly amid the global pandemic. With physical distancing and ever-evolving travel restrictions, XR solutions offer a way to virtually keep teams together and projects moving with minimal interruption.

Until recently, the cost of professional-grade VR and AR was unattainable for many. Now, headsets cost a few hundred dollars instead of thousands, and most smartphones support AR – putting the power of XR into the hands of anyone, anywhere, at any time.

In-person collaboration often requires costly travel and unnecessarily contributes to harmful carbon emissions – and, when teams cannot meet to work through design issues together, expensive rework and significant material waste are often a consequence. Offering seamless, instantaneous, and immersive cloud collaboration allows teams to save time, money, and materials, the companies said.

The Wild draws data from various AEC technologies into their respective XR collaborative experiences to perform design review and model coordination. Together, existing integrations include Autodesk Construction Cloud (Autodesk BIM 360, Autodesk Build), Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Navisworks, as well as other non-Autodesk technologies, Rhinoceros and Trimble SketchUp. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close during Autodesk’s first quarter of Fiscal Year 2023, ending April 30, 2022. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The Wild has 27 employees while Autodesk has 11,500 employees.

Autodesk also said it offers a broad range of capabilities within the AEC space.

“The Wild is a strong addition to our growing portfolio, and Autodesk’s larger sales, development, and support platforms will help scale its XR offerings in support of our customers,” Fonta said.

Asked what The Wild adds, Fonta said, “Through the acquisition, Autodesk will gain access to The Wild’s cloud-connected XR solutions, including Iris VR, building on the value of our company’s existing design portfolio for AEC professionals and project owners. At a time in which the AEC industry is rapidly transforming and digitizing, The Wild’s immersive technology allows teams to step inside virtual models to present, collaborate and review projects together, from anywhere in the world. This acquisition enables Autodesk to meet increasing needs for XR technology advancements within the AEC industry and further support AEC customers throughout the project delivery cycle.”

Engineering firm Black & Veatch works with both companies.

“As remote collaboration continues to become the new normal for many professionals across industries and market sectors, the capabilities of systems like the Autodesk Construction Cloud and The Wild’s

“IrisVR platform help Black & Veatch deliver world-class projects regardless of our professionals’ physical location,” said Brian Melton, technology innovation lead at Black & Veatch, in a statement. “This type of spatial real-scale immersive experience is a game-changer for our professionals by allowing us to meet virtually within the project design environment, to talk about the design, conduct reviews and coordinate activities, document potential issues and collect comments aimed at accelerating execution and improving safety. Autodesk’s acquisition of The Wild could create an even more seamless integration of VR into the platforms we use, leading to wider adoption, more capabilities and a shift from what was once sci-fi to a daily activity.”
