#Plaza San Martin

[sheliach]

 Plaza  San Martín  Le Doute (Spanish: La Duda, English: The Doubt), designed by French artist Louis Henri Cordier, was inaugurated in Plaza General San Martín in 1906. The Carrara marble statue depicts a young believer, with open bible, being questioned by an older man. Plaza San Martín, bounded by Calle Maipu, Avenida Sata Fe, Avenida Libertador, and Avenida Leandro Alem, was named after General José de San Martín in 1878, upon the hundredth anniversary of his birth and sixteen years later after Louis-Joseph Daumas' monument to him was placed in the park. The current landscape is a product of the designs of British architect Edward Taylor and Argentine architect José Canale in 1883 and French urbanist Charles Thays in 1889. The plaza's long history dates back to Spanish colonial times, where a succession of colonial governors had their official residences built on the site. In 1713, the land was sold to the British South Sea Company who operated their slave trade out of a former governor's mansion. The area earned the name Campo de la Gloria (The Field of Glory) after General John Whitelocke's failed in Britain's second attempt to conquer Buenos Aires here in 1807. General San Martín established barracks for his Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo (Regiment of Mounted Grenadiers) in the plaza starting in 1812, and in 1813 a resolution abolishing slavery led to the shuttering of slave quarters. In the 1900's, the plaza became the preferred surroundings for some of Argetina's wealthiest landowners.

LA PENDIENTE

Estaba en Plaza San Martín

En el centro de Buenos Aires

Que es un lugar precioso

Con jardines y con árboles

Observaba la pendiente

Hacia el bajo de Retiro

Cubierta de un verde césped

Dando al cemento un respiro

Allá abajo la torre y su reloj

Ellos que fueran testigos

De un adiós inevitable

Esos que trae el destino

Sentado allí contemplando

En memorias sumergido

Hasta que el trinar de unas aves

Me devuelve los sentidos

(Marcelo 10/7/2023)

Haro, Spain (No. 2)

During the Roman rule of Hispania, a fort called Castrum Bibilium was built in the cliffs of Bibilio. The first mention of Haro dates back to the year 1040, in a document of king García Sánchez III of Navarre"el de Nájera". Alfonso VI of León and Castile entrusted the tenencia to Diego López I de Haro after the death of Count García Ordóñez and the first of the lords of Biscay to attach the name of this town to his patronymic was Diego's son, Lope Díaz I de Haro.

Since the early 19th century Haro has established a worldwide reputation for being the most important wine town in the Rioja wine region and remains so today even though the number of Bodegas in the region have multiplied 8 times to 574 during the past 50 years (1970 to 2020). 

The key focus of this reputation is at the Barrio Estación where 7 of the best Rioja Bodegas are located - namely Bodegas Bilbainas (founded 1859); Compañia Vinícola del Norte de España [CVNE] f.1879; R. López de Heredia (f 1877); Bodegas Roda (f 1989); Bodegas Muga (f.1932); Bodegas La Rioja Alta S.A. (f.1890). 

In other parts of the town are Bodegas Martnez Lacuesta (f.1873); Bodega Berceo (f.1801); Carlos Serres (f.1896) and Ramon Bilbao (f.1924). Féderico Paaternina was founded in 1897 and became a very influential name in the wine business in Spain until its final collapse in 2010 when the Bodega closed and the brand of Banda Azul was sold to Berberana following a very difficult period after the appropriation of their owners Rumasa in 1983 by the new Spanish Government and the failure of the subsequent owner to keep the company as a going concern.

Israel has just bombed a hospital where hundreds of wounded and refugees were taking solace. Journalists in Gaza have reported there was hardly a single body whole in the aftermath (If you can stomach it, there's a video of a father holding what remains of his child). At least 500 people killed by IOF soldiers, who planned this action, got into an airplane and dropped that bomb willingly. The deadliest attack in five wars, according to the Ministry of Health.

Israel has denied ownership of the attack and said it was a misfired Hamas rocket. Originally, they celebrated it on their social media, saying they had destroyed a Hamas target, treating the deaths like an unfortunate collateral. After international backlash, they posted videos to their social media claiming it was a Hamas rocket. The video, though, shows a second explosion 40 minutes after the airstrike, and they edited it our of their tweet in a pathetic attempt at covering up.

Israel has said multiple times that they were going to bomb hospitals. They told doctors to evacuate and leave their patients to death because they were going to bomb, namely: Al Shifa, Shuhada Al Aqsa and the Quwaiti Hospital. Al Shifa housed at least 10.000 refugees and wounded, and worked as a hub for the press because it was one of the only hospitals that still had working generators. Medical crew worked with sirens blaring to signal the hospitals were not empty. This was a purposeful massacre. These people died hungry, thirsty and in pain because of the Israeli government's cruelty.

CNN and other media outlets already tried to pin the blame on Hamas, parroting back the pathetic propaganda being sold by the IOF. Even in death, Palestinians can't be respected and are used to further their own oppression. These people's deaths are not going to be in vain. Within our lifetimes, Palestine will be free.

Take action. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting today after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn't condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works.

San Francisco State University has pulled its investments from four companies tied to weapons manufacturing or Israel’s war in Gaza, a move that was celebrated by student activists whose protests last year brought campus administrators to the negotiating table.

Pro-Palestinian student organizers rallied at the university’s central Malcolm X Plaza on Thursday, a day after they first announced that they had worked with university administrators to identify four companies for divestment: weapons manufacturers Lockheed Martin and Leonardo, data analysis company and military contractor Palantir, and construction equipment maker Caterpillar, whose bulldozers have been armored and in some cases weaponized by the Israel Defense Forces.

Todavia no eran las 11 de la mañana y ya la plaza de San Martin se habia llenado de artistas por aquí y por allá. Mientras ocupaban sus lugares me acordé que yo también soy uno, asi que aceleré en dirección a casa y tomé la cámara de la Bruja.

En eso me crucé con Genaro, y le pedí permiso para hacerle unos parpadeos del ojo. Él y su mamá me miraron desconfiados, y que va, si un extraño de la nada te pide si lo bancas un toque que va a buscar su cámara ¿no te daría extrañeza?

Pero cuando bajé de la Casa Potus todavía seguían ahí. He aquí mis tomas favoritas.

Gena estaba curiosísimo por aquel mecánico sonido que salia de mis manos y le ofrecí que probase él mismo. De este modo, apuntando mi lente a la puerta de su casa, fui testigo de la primer foto del niño.

Fue un intercambio justo.

Ambos estábamos inspirados.
