Chloephaga dabbenei Agnolín et al., 2024 (new species)

(Type tarsometatarsus [fused ankle and foot bones] of Chloephaga dabbenei [scale bar = 1 cm], from Agnolín et al., 2024)

Meaning of name: dabbenei = for Roberto Dabbene [Italian-Argentinian ornithologist]

Age: Pleistocene (Chibanian)

Where found: Bajo de San José, Buenos Aires, Argentina

How much is known: Several limb bones. It is unknown whether any of these belonged to the same individuals.

Notes: Chloephaga is an extant genus of South American sheldgeese, a group of goose-like waterfowl. Though often found near water, species of Chloephaga spend a lot of time on land, primarily feeding on grasses or beached seaweed. C. dabbenei was large for a member of this genus, about the same size as large individuals of the extant upland goose (C. picta). Its hindlimbs were longer and its toes less spread out than extant Chloephaga, suggesting that it may have been even more specialized for life on land.

Reference: Agnolín, F.L., G.P. Álvarez Herrera, and R. Tomassini. 2024. Pleistocene record of Chloephaga Eyton, 1838 (Anseriformes: Anatidae) in the Argentine Pampas, with the description of a new species. Comptes Rendus Palevol 23: 241–255. doi: 10.5852/cr-palevol2024v23a18

The plane has been described by officials as Venezuela’s equivalent to Air Force One and it  has been pictured in previous state visits by Maduro around the world. The Dominican Republic’s President Luis Abinader said the plane seized by the US on Monday was not registered under the name of the Venezuelan government, but rather under “the name of an individual.” Foreign Minister of the Dominican Republic Roberto Álvarez said the country’s Attorney General’s Office received an order last May from a national court to “immobilize” the plane. The US had requested it be immobilized so they could search it for “evidence and objects linked to fraud activities, smuggling of goods for illicit activities and money laundering,” he said. In a statement, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said that “the Justice Department seized an aircraft we allege was illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and smuggled out of the United States for use by Nicolás Maduro and his cronies.”

In addition to some of the immunity issues, I am curious what reason a Dominican national court gave to seize Maduro's plane for America

Llega el primer cargamento de estrenos navideños 2024

La salsa, la plena y el merengue dominan esta primera cosecha de estrenos.

Pasado el periodo eleccionario, muchas estaciones de radio ya programan música navideña y los estrenos no se hicieron esperar. De igual manera, las tiendas de discos físicos ya sacaron sus inventarios de CDs y vinilos navideños para atraer a sus clientes.

Son muchos los estrenos que ya se han dado a conocer y se espera que sigan llegando hasta finales de noviembre, por lo que NotiCel les presenta este primer cargamento de estrenos navideños para este año 2024. ¡Que disfruten!

��Mi tremendo parrandón” (Edwin “Calvito” Reyes con Prodigio Claudio) – Estos dos boricuas se juntaron de nuevo para ofrecer un tema navideño, luego del éxito “Salsa con trova en Navidad” (2022). El tema es composición de Prodigio Claudio, quien a su vez unió fuerzas con el trombonista Luis Ginés para realizar el arreglo. Otro gran trabajo vocal de Reyes. La producción ejecutiva fue de Con Clase Records. Es un tremendo tema bailable que también se escuchará mucho en las fiestas familiares.

“Noche de alegría” (Alex Castro) – Un tema en salsa bien bailable cuya letra resalta varias tradiciones puertorriqueñas, pero principalmente el nacimiento de Jesús. La composición y la producción general es de Castro y el arreglo musical de Emmanuel "Cerebro" Romero. El cuatrista invitado es Giovanni Crespo Medina y en el coro se escuchan las voces de Miguel Guerrero y Edwin Lebrón. Otro acierto musical de este talentoso cantautor junqueño.

“Debajo del arbolito” (Nell Álvarez) – Este es el cuarto sencillo de Álvarez desde que decidió lanzarse como solista y presenta un tema de despecho enmarcado en la época navideña en el que espera deshacerse del recuerdo de la pareja y que el nuevo año traiga un nuevo amor. La composición es de Andy Guzmán y el arreglo musical del venezolano Víctor Gámez. El solo de cuatro puertorriqueño lo ejecuta Roberto “Bobby” Pérez. El sonido de la orquesta es caracterizado por los trombones, ejecutados por Moisés Nogueras.

“Nunca hay ná” (Las Chicas del Clan) – Las originales Chicas del Clan regresan con este sabroso merengue “ajibarado” con el cuatro de Christian Nieves. La composición es de Freddie Silva Nieves y el interesante arreglo musical, que empieza como plena, es de Freddie Méndez. “No demos más parranda en esta casa… en esta casa bendito nunca hay ná”. Las voces de la orquesta son Milly Pérez, Rosita Figueroa, Wanda Vallellanes y Brenda Liz Mateo.

“El calentón” (Arnaldo Vallellanes) – Arnaldo “El más querido” presenta este merengue navideño que cuenta la historia del amigo que quería una parranda, pero cuando llegó tuvo que “aguantar presión” por la cantidad de gente que llegó. “No te salvaste del calentón”, dice el coro del tema, compuesto por Vallellanes y arreglado por Carlos “Peyé” Ortega para Bien Duro Music. Esperen escucharlo en cada fiesta de marquesina en esta temporada.

“Navidad es alegría” (La Puertorriqueña) – Don Perignon seleccionó este año una composición del reconocido cantautor José Nogueras, quien ha dejado una huella imborrable en la música navideña de Puerto Rico. El arreglo musical es de Ramón Sánchez, quien ha revelado que sus principales referentes para arreglar música navideña son los emblemáticos discos de Willie Colón con Héctor Lavoe y las producciones dedicadas a la época de El Gran Combo y la Sonora Ponceña. Participa la joven cuatrista Fabiola Muñoz. Las voces en este tema son Joe González, José Karlo Ribot y Henry Santiago.

“En la Navidad” (Maribel Santos) – El nuevo sencillo de Santos es de su autoría, un tema en salsa que invita a la unión familiar y entre países. El año pasado, la actriz y presentadora publicó su primer tema navideño “Esta Navidad yo quiero”. En este nuevo lanzamiento, la boricua también invita a recordar el verdadero sentido de esta época, el nacimiento del niño Jesús. El arreglo musical es de Robert García.

“Con cuatro, guitarra y güiro” (Reunidos por la Salsa) – Este bonche de músicos y cantantes se unen de nuevo para ofrecer este sabroso tema, original del naranjiteño Nelson Bermúdez y arreglo musical de Eliú y Kevin Figueroa. Los cantantes que participan son: Waldo Iván Colón, Tito Guadalupe, Edwin “El Calvito” Reyes, José Novoa, Kriptony Texeira y Nelson Bermúdez. El cuatrista es Josean Feliberty. Otro excelente tema de esta cooperativa de músicos latinos.

“Familia y amigos” (Grupo Esencia) – El destacado músico y cantante Ángel “Papote” Alvarado, fundador y director de Esencia, presenta este año una plena, composición suya, inspirada en la familia y los amigos que resalta una de las características de la Navidad puertorriqueña. Es el primer tema con letra navideña que produce Esencia en sus casi 30 años de historia. En la parte vocal, Alvarado está acompañado por José Lago. El arreglo musical estuvo a cargo de Alvarado, Tony Velázquez y Héctor “Pochi” Gastón.

“Santa se perdió” (Félix O. Rodríguez) – Una plena con letra jocosa, original de Eric Rosario, es el tema que presenta este año el trombonista cagüeño, radicado en Atlanta, Félix O. Rodríguez. Este tema se realizó con los músicos del colectivo “Reunidos por la Salsa” y cuenta con José Novoa como cantante y Rosario como el rapero invitado. Josean Feliberty es el cuatrista invitado. El arreglo musical y la producción son de Rodríguez.

According to Homero Figueroa, spokesman for the Presidency of the Dominican Republic, Roberto Álvarez, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stated that the migratory alert issued by the United States last November has resulted in a significant decrease in tourism. At least 35,000 fewer tourists have visited in recent months due to the Dominican Republic migration alert.

[...]

According to the migration alert, Dominican Migration agents have been conducting widespread operations to detain individuals believed to be undocumented migrants, particularly those of Haitian descent.

[...] There are reports that detainees are being held in overcrowded detention centers under dire conditions. Detainees have no way to challenge their detention or access to food and restroom facilities. Detainees are held, in some cases, for days at a time before being released or deported to Haiti. [...]

In November 2022, the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic issued a warning to African-American U.S. citizens about the General Directorate of Migration’s increased operations aimed at detaining undocumented immigrants, particularly individuals of African-American descent. Álvarez reportedly emphasized that the Dominican Republic is an open country and receives the highest percentage of North American tourists, according to Diario Libre, a new publication of the Dominican Republic.

To Dominican Republic: Maybe don't be racist, colorist, n xenophobic if not want be seen as bigoted dystopic country?

Sincerely, a supposed Dominican with Haitian n American descent.

the summer day

[this is just a little ficlet I wrote based on my HC that Alvarez is Argentinian. It's also on AO3 here]

Catalina Álvarez has never had a white Christmas. She has never had a winter Christmas, actually.

On the flight to the States when she was fifteen (not her first one, but her first one without a return ticket), she told her dad she was excited about all the Christmas songs and paraphernalia (the pinetree, the Santas with their winter hats and gloves, the Disney songs about it being cold outside) aligning with the reality of the holiday for once.

Her mom didn't bother removing her eye mask as she said, “Cata, we’re going to California.”

Since her mom couldn’t see her, Catalina rolled her eyes. “Well, yeah, but we could go somewhere else for the holidays. New York, maybe, kill two birds with one stone: white Christmas and the ball drop on New Year’s.”

“We are going somewhere else for the holidays,” said her dad without putting his book down “Home.”

Home.

—

Summers in Buenos Aires are scorching hot, the pavement, concrete, and bricks of the city’s streets and buildings absorbing the heat and becoming a furnace, slow-roasting its sweaty inhabitants day and night. It’s a humid, heavy heat, one that sits on your skin like a physical weight and becomes the sole topic of small talk for the months it comes to stay.

The holidays are scattered throughout the summer holidays, three long months of school break sprinkled with Christmas, New Year’s, and Reyes Magos. They always celebrated Reyes at home, just the three of them with their gift-full shoes under the tree. When Catalina’s dad still had his mom and wasn’t yet estranged from his only brother, they spent New Year’s with them and Christmas with her mom’s side of the family.

Hebe Rodríguez’s house was squat and painted a soft blue, halfway down a quiet residential street where stray cats could still be spotted. Inside, it was teeming with plants (which Catalina loved) and pictures of her late husband, Roberto Álvarez (which Catalina found creepy as fuck).

(Two months before she died and five months before most of the remaining Álvarezes moved to the northern hemisphere, Hebe pulled Catalina aside. “Promise me this, Cata,” she asked. “Don’t do like the yankees and take your husband’s surname when you get married, okay? Just because they’re stuck in the Dark Ages doesn’t mean you have to put up with it. You are Catalina Álvarez, remember that.”

“I’m a lesbian, grandma,” she reminded her with a smile.

Her grandma blinked at her. “Oh. Right, I forgot. Alright, carry on, then,” and she patted her only grandchild on the shoulder with a decisive nod.)

Her uncle Luis would spend most of New Year’s Eve stuck to the TV screen. Some years, he would pop his head into the kitchen and grimly inform them, “Blackout tonight,” and they would all sigh, resigned. Better announced than unannounced, they supposed.

No blackout is welcome in 35°C temperatures, though. When the dark wave swept through the neighborhood, drowning out the lights of each house one by one like in the apocalyptic movies Catalina’s dad liked, they would have flashlights and candles ready, but the click of the ceiling fan and air-con turning off felt final and ominous. 

Those years (blackout-in-the-middle-of-New-Year’s-Eve-dinner years), they would sit out on the small patio in their white clothes to watch the stars and sip chilled wine. Conversation was hard to keep going when the humid air made breathing laborious, but the silence wasn’t bad. The electricity would usually return before midnight, and they would turn the TV on to a news channel and chant along to the countdown: cinco, cuatro, tres, dos, uno, ¡FELIZ AÑO NUEVO! before eating twelve raisins (which Catalina replaced with chocolate-covered cereal because she found raisins disgusting), one for each month, and running outside to see the fireworks.

Christmases, however, were always Catalina’s favorite. Her mom’s side of the family was a very different story from her dad’s: loud where they were quiet, numerous where they were sparse, posh where they were normal (her dad’s words, the ‘chetos’ said with undisguised derision, ignoring his mom’s resulting elbow to the ribs).

Catalina and her parents would make the forty-minute drive to Santa Bárbara, the definition of a swank gated community. Once past the guard booths, they would make the slow fifteen-minute drive down winding streets with their “Children Playing” signs to the big house at the end of the lane where Aunt Soledad and Uncle Tomás lived with their 2.5 kids and golden retriever. It was always lavishly decorated, with a life-size nativity scene on the front lawn and unseasonable snowflake cutouts and colorful strings of lights on the windowsills.

The afternoon before Christmas Eve was for riding bikes and swimming in the wide backyard pool and roller skating up and down the long wooden bridge over the expansive pond that was Santa Bárbara’s hallmark. Cousins Marcos, Agustín, Lara and Constanza were older than Catalina; Milagros, Sebastián and Santiago were younger. Then there were the babies, Benjamín and Pilar, but they stayed home with their respective parents, doing whatever babies did while kids played, so Catalina barely registered them for a few years.

At noon, they would run back to the house, Catalina and her cousins, and sit down for lunch under big striped patio umbrellas with minimal eye-rolling at their mothers’ fussing that they would get heatstroke and would they please play inside where it was cool? Uncle Tomás would serve the asado, delicious, juicy meat that was as much cultural ritual as it was meal, an excuse for the men to hover around the grill as though the whole thing would go up in flames without their combined expertise.

After lunch (an hours-long affair that included lengthy, inescapable post-lunch conversation), some of the adults would retreat to guest rooms to nap, others would lounge around on plastic chairs to sip mate and keep talking, and the kids would run again. Christmas Eve Eve always felt endless to Catalina, lovely and sweltering and carefree. Playing in the street was out of the question back in the city, had stopped being safe when her parents were children, but here it was fine, and she felt that freedom coursing through her veins with every running step she took down quiet streets lined with Aguaribay, American Ash, and Plane trees.

When the sun began to set, they would all, parents and children, slowly amble down to the pond to watch the orange-pink-red spectacle play on the water’s surface. Besides the two weeks she and her parents spent on the coast in Mar del Plata each February, it was the only time Catalina saw the horizon, the perfect straight line usually hidden by towering buildings.

Back at the house, the adults would start setting everything up for Christmas dinner, and the kids would banish the heat that still hung heavy in the air by playing mermaids and Marco Polo in the pool. When they were called inside, they would climb the pool ladder, grass sticking to their feet, trailing water all the way back into the house, and get changed into white dresses and shorts, airy and fresh, wet patches immediately appearing from their dripping hair.

Barefoot, smelling of chlorine, and worn from a day spent playing in the sun, they would sit at the table set with the good cutlery and linen napkins, jittery with the looming promise of Papá Noel’s visit (Catalina would never get used to the way U.S. Americans open presents on Christmas day instead of Christmas Eve, couldn’t fathom asking a child to go to sleep with that anticipation hanging over them). Dinner would be light due to the heat, salads and cold cuts, chilled wine and champagne for the adults, lemonade and Coke for the children, dessert for all.

When the excitement got to be too much for the youngest members of the family, one of the adults would say, “Hey, why don’t we go outside to wait for Papá Noel?” and guide a band of eager children to the backyard to search the stars for signs of an approaching reindeer-pulled sleigh. They were brighter here than in the city, and Catalina thought any one of them could be him.

Somehow, Santa always arrived when they were outside looking for him, and they would run back in to find a towering pile of presents waiting for them underneath the huge plastic Christmas tree. The rest of the evening usually unraveled in a loud mess of bright, noisy toys and sugar-high kids wanting to play with them even as the day caught up with them and made their jaws crack with their lion yawns.

The ones left standing by midnight were welcome to a glass of champagne to toast with the adults. Catalina always fought tooth and nail against her tiredness because she refused to miss out. After a sip or two of the bitter, bubbly liquid, she would kiss her parents goodnight and drag herself into the guest room she shared with her female cousins. The sheets smelled clean, the fan droned its merciful reprieve from the heat, and her heart felt full as she fell asleep.

On Christmas day, the boys would go to the fútbol field by the restaurant and wouldn’t let the girls join them, so Lara, Constanza, Catalina and Milagros would claim the backyard and invite the neighbors’ girls to play Exy with them. For years, that’s what Exy meant to Catalina: running with a pack of fierce girls under a furious summer sun, sweaty and happy and in charge. They would take pool breaks now and then, a quick dip and a pit stop for sunscreen reinforcement before resuming their game.

Lunch would consist of assorted leftovers and a dozen empanadas ordered from the restaurant two streets down. The knowledge that the day was about to end made it a less ebullient affair than the previous day, even the wildest of her cousins subdued by their impending departure.

After lunch, Aunt Soledad and Uncle Tomás would dress their kids up and walk down to the chapel five minutes away for Christmas Mass. Everyone else was allowed to join them, but only Aunt Carolina would sometimes go.

When the day slowly trickled down into night, the guest families would leave one by one, causing tantrums and loud protests as playmates were forced to say their goodbyes.

Catalina would get in the boiling car with her hair still dripping wet and an inevitable sunburn where she neglected to put on sunscreen. She would watch the trees pass them by on their slow crawl to the gates. Somewhere between the house and the highway, she would fall asleep. On the ride home, she would dream of grass and swimming pools and laughter and Exy and family.

—

The holidays are inevitably different now that she’s an adult. She goes from USC straight to LAX and meets her parents there. She sleeps most of the flight.

Buenos Aires is always the same, except for the ever-changing billboards and many old houses in her neighborhood being demolished to make room for mammoth apartment complexes. The summers are still scorching hot, only getting hotter with global warming.

Grandma Hebe is gone. Uncle Luis kept her house, but he and Catalina’s dad haven’t spoken in years, so she doesn’t know what became of that blue jungle, whether her grandad’s pictures still sprout among the plants like weeds.

Catalina and her parents spend both Christmas and New Year’s in Santa Bárbara with her aunt and uncle now. She and her cousins don’t run around all day anymore, but they do still sometimes play Exy in the backyard, with racquets they’ve outgrown and complaints from her opponents that being a college Exy player gives her an unfair advantage, which she gleefully ignores. 

There are still long evenings spent floating on her back in the swimming pool until her fingers prune and her skin smells of chlorine. There are still asados, even if Uncle Román isn’t part of the grill committee anymore since Aunt Carolina divorced him. 

There is no searching for Santa among the stars, but presents are still exchanged, toasts still made. There are new guests, Agustín’s girlfriend, Marcos’s best friend, Milagros’s girlfriend. Their junior year of college, Catalina brings along Laila. 

There are long lunches that stretch into longer conversations. There is sunscreen and chilled champagne and the sun setting over the pond.

And on the plane ride back to California, where she will exchange gifts with Jeremy and Jean and the other Trojans, where she will train and study and keep growing up, Catalina dreams of grass and swimming pools and laughter and Exy and family.
