El ambicioso proyecto del Parador Turístico en la ex garita de Nuevo Laredo

Este proyecto no sólo busca revitalizar una estructura abandonada, sino también cambiar la percepción de Nuevo Laredo como destino fronterizo.

Bajo la sombra de la desolación que rodea a la ex garita del kilómetro 26 de la Carretera a Monterrey en Nuevo Laredo, se gesta un proyecto que busca transformar este punto estratégico en un oasis turístico. El Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM), en colaboración con el Gobierno municipal, trabaja incansablemente para rescatar este sitio del olvido y convertirlo en un atractivo parador…

Drepanosaurs were a weird little group of tree-climbing Triassic reptiles with prehensile claw-tipped tails, chameleon-like bodies, humped backs, grasping feet, long necks, and somewhat bird-like skulls that may have been tipped with toothless beaks in some species.

Recently some of them have been recognized as also having adaptations for digging and ripping into insect nests, similar to modern anteaters, with highly specialized forelimb bones and a massively enlarged hoked claw on each hand.

And now we have another one of these digging drepanosaurs: Unguinychus onyx, whose name delightfully translates to "claw claw claw"!

Living in what is now New Mexico, USA during the late Triassic, around 215-208 million years ago, Unguinychus is only known from its enlarged hand claws but was probably similar in size to some of its close relatives, likely around 40cm long (~1'4").

Based on skin impressions from the early drepanosaur Kyrgyzsaurus it also would have been covered in small scales, possibly with a skin crest and a chameleon-like throat sac.

Drepanosaurs' evolutionary relationships are rather unclear, with various studies classifying them as an early branch of diapsid reptiles, as close relatives of the gliding kuehneosaurids, or as protorosaurian archosauromorphs. But recently another idea has been proposed, instead placing them slightly further up the archosauromorph evolutionary tree in the allokotosaur lineage close to trilophosaurids – and notably making them very closely related to fellow Triassic bird-headed weirdo Teraterpeton.

Estoy al pedo así que me puse a averiguar en qué esquina de Bahía Blanca se ubica este meme

Teniendo en cuenta que el colectivo es la línea 513 de la empresa Rastreador Fournier y que en el cartel con los nombres de las calles apenas se distingue que dice Vieytes y 4 cifras debajo pensé "bueno, tiene que estar detrás del canal Maldonado"

Así que me puse a pasear en Google Maps hasta que encontré la esquina. Es en Vieytes y Suiza.

Y así se ve la garita hoy. Pintada de ese color por la gestión de Héctor Gay (del Pro 🤢)

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

Following their 2 million-selling 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', the boys are now presenting their third album. The main character of the new album, which they recorded in 2006 with producer Rob Cavallo (Goo Goo Dolls, Alanis Morissette), is someone called 'The Patient', vocalist Gerard Way's strongest memory of his childhood. It's about the day his dad took him to a parade, hence the name of their first single, "Welcome to the Black Parade." This material is the group's most commercial, with a punk style similar to Green Day's. However, in songs like "The Sharpest Lives" and "House of Wolves" they retain the dark style that characterizes them. Good!

City: New Jersey

Influences: Besides the fact that they like watching horror movies, they listen to Queen, The Smiths/Morrissey, The Cure, Iron Maiden and The Misfits.

The group's name comes from a book written by Irvine Welsh, titled 'Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance'.

The band was formed when Gerard Way called his high school friend Matt Pelissier in 2002 to form a new musical group.

The black parade"

fact bubbles:

✰Their first song is "Skylines and Turnstiles", written by Gerard while living in New York and inspired by the attack on the Twin Towers.

✰Mikey Way, Gerard's younger brother, dropped out of school to learn to play bass.

✰En 2002 editaron su CD de- but 'I Brought you my Bullets, you Brought me your Love'.

✰They have been the opening act for Green Day.

Fell verse

I apologize for not making any art before this. I had to take a few mental health days because I had a bad day. So here. I believe there's more to Underfell than just making everyone evil. It's somewhat also a swap AU. Instead of Flowey having the "Kill or be killed" attitude it's everyone else. So that's what I'm going to do. I will be swapping details of the story instead of characters. I won't be doing that with all of them. Some will just be the character but more aggressive, but when I can I will. I'll try to make this as detailed as possible.

Fell Nightmare is Malik. Name inspired by the name that means king (I considered Rex but it was taken). Dreamtale, but what if Nightmare's bully wasn't the villagers, but instead his own brother. The villagers still don't like him but they've never physically done anything to him. Dream is the bully that will actually hurt Nightmare. In private. Fell Dream doesn't do anything to Nightmare in front of the villagers and Nightmare doesn't say anything because he doesn't want the villagers to hate him too. One day Nightmare has enough and it all comes out. But surprise surprise no one believes that the "innocent Dream" can do any harm. So Nightmare just snaps. Unlike Nightmare where you can sort of argue that he cares about his gang and maybe has some remourse for Dream, Malik is not like that. He sees Fell Dream for who he is and only keeps his members around because they're a source of negativity. His Salt equivalent is Malice. Name inspired by the word that means ill intent.

Fell Error is Malware. Name inspired by malicious software. His Salt equivalent is Macabre. Name inspired by the word that means horrifying arts (How ironic).

Fell Cross is Xavier. Name inspired by X. His Salt equivalent is Xanthic. Name inspired by X.

Fell Dust is Ash. Name inspired by the residue. His Salt equivalent is Axe. Name inspired by the weapon.

Fell Killer is Slayer. Name inspired by the word that basically means the same thing. His Salt equivalent is Slasher. Name inspired by the word that basically means the same thing.

Fell Horror is Butcher. Name inspired by the profession. His Salt equivalent is Burden. Name inspired by the fact it also starts with "Bu".

Fell Dream is Shangria. Name inspired by the word Shangri-La. Dreamtale, but instead of the villagers being a bully, it's Shangria. Shangria is a huge a-hole to everyone around him, but everyone still loves him for some reason. His Salt equivalent is Soprano. Name inspired by the form of song.

Fell Ink is Ichor. Name inspired by the word that means blood. His Salt equivalent is Indigo. I don't know.

Fell Blue is Huckle. Name inspired by the berry. His Salt equivalent is Hollow. Name inspired by the fact it's similar to Huckle.

Fell Swap is Vassal. Name inspired by the word that means a subordinate. Stretch is the one that orders Swap around and treats him like a slave. Vassal is a weakling. His Salt equivalent is Vanilla... I don't know.

Fell Ccino is Garita. Name inspired by margarita, the cocktail. Ccino, but if he was a bartender instead of a barista. He has pet dogs and a wolf hoodie. His Salt equivalent is Garnet. Name inspired by the stone.

Fell Geno is Mass. Name inspired by massacre. His Salt equivalent is Mania. Name inspired by the word that means mental illness.

Fell Reaper is Hades. Name inspired by the god of death. His Salt equivalent is Harpy. Name inspired by the mythical creature.

Fell Fresh is Punk. Name inspired by Punk subculture. Punk is very similar to a punk rockstar. His Salt equivalent is Probe.

Fell Science is Biology. Name inspired by the study of living things. Biology is like a mad scientist. His Salt equivalent is Bionic. Name inspired by the word that means electromechanical.

Fell Ivan is Mongrel. Name inspired by the term for mutt. Ivan but if he wasn't feral.

Fell Midnight is Nebula. Name inspired by the galaxy. Midnight but if she wasn't shy.

Fell Chip is Static. Name inspired by the radio noise.

Fell Zany is Bane. Name inspired by the word that means distress. Zany but if he actually was evil.

Fell Domino is Casino. Name inspired by the place.

Fell Pitaya is Pomegranite. Name inspired by the fruit.

Fell Honeydew is Apricot. Name inspired by the fruit.

Fell Constellation is Eclipse. Name inspired by the event. Constellation but if she actually was nice.

Fell Casper is Shikari. Name inspired by the word that means hunter.

Fell Desire is Risque. Name inspired by the word that means suggestive.

Fell Dread is Miasma. Name inspired by unpleasant vapor. Dread but if she wasn't devoid of emotion.

Fell Scarlet is Crimson. Name inspired by the shade of red. Scarlet but if she wasn't nice.

Fell Abstract is Acrilyc. Name inspired by the material. Abstract but if he liked to destroy stuff instead.

Cardona 2024 (2) (3) (4) (5) by SBA73

Via Flickr:

(1) Beautiful view of the old medieval town of Cardona, with the gothic church of Sant Miquel on top. It was then a rich place due to its salt mines, the most important in medieval Catalonia. (2) Cardona's Devil's Bridge is not as famous as Martorell's (also in Catalonia), but it is more mysterious. Date of XV Century and it seems that it was never completed, although some think that it was and that it was later destroyed by a flood. Other stories say that it was sabotaged because the lords of Cardona wanted to charge a toll and this outraged the people of the area. (3) View of the bulwarks of Cardona castle (in fact fort), looking northwest. This bulwark is Santa Maria's. (4) Garita de llevant. / Easternmost bartizan. (5) Un carrer del barri de La Coromina, a Cardona. / A street in La Coromina, a part of Cardona, in Catalonia.
