#city of La Paz

[manessha545]

North Yungas Road, Bolivia: The Yungas Road, popularly known as The Death Road, is a 64-kilometre long cycle route linking the city of La Paz with the Yungas region of Bolivia. It was conceived in the 1930s by the Bolivian government to connect the capital city of La Paz with the Amazon Rainforest in the north part of the country. Large parts of it were built by Paraguayan prisoners during the Chaco War. Several sections of the road are less than 3 metres wide, and due to presence of rain, fog, landslides, cascades, steep slopes and cliffs that drop more than 610 meters or 2000 feet, it is largely considered the most dangerous road in the world.

Piel Canela | Enzo Vogrincic

Parte II de “City Boy”

¿Cómo sería salir con Enzo?

Personalidad:

- Enzo valora la paz y la tranquilidad como aspectos fundamentales en su vida. Para él, los momentos más significativos se experimentan al llegar a casa y reconocer el hogar con la afirmación interna de "yo vivo acá". Su aprecio por la naturaleza se manifiesta especialmente junto al mar o en la montaña, donde disfruta observar cómo el tiempo avanza. Estos entornos le brindan la serenidad que considera esencial para su bienestar (Folie).

- En estos días, Enzo encuentra un especial aprecio por la privacidad y anhela pasar más tiempo contigo. Cuando tiene momentos libres, te llama y te busca, guiándote hacia lugares apartados donde puedan disfrutar de charlas íntimas y compartir afectuosos momentos de manera discreta. La búsqueda de esos espacios escondidos refleja su deseo de fortalecer la conexión contigo en un ambiente más personal y reservado.

- Por supuesto, Enzo no dejará de compartir contigo sus rasgos característicos en el ámbito teatral. Siempre te sorprenderá con bromas, actuando de manera cómica y excesiva para agregar un toque de diversión a sus interacciones contigo.

- Para Enzo, su cámara vintage ocupa un lugar central en su vida. Ama capturar imágenes únicas, especialmente cuando busca el sentido de la vida a través de su lente. Es decir, aprecia las pequeñas cosas y siempre comparte contigo sus reflexiones sobre las fotos que ha tomado, ya sea en el autobús, en el parque, en la calle o cualquier otro lugar

- Obviamente, la fama no le afectará a Enzo; sin embargo, él se está dando cuenta de lo popular que es ahora y de lo surreal que es tener casi dos millones de seguidores. Tú, en la realidad, estás procesando la situación al ver cosas muy extrañas, sin entender cómo la gente ha obtenido esa información. Pero, a pesar de todo, Enzo, siempre dramático y filosófico, te dirá: “La vida, ¿sabes?, sigue su rumbo como un río que no se detiene, aunque a veces nos parezca más enredada que una milonga triste. Pero en el fondo, siempre avanza, como un mate bien cevado en la ronda de la existencia, con sus momentos amargos y dulces. Y ahí estamos, simplemente tratando de entender el compás de esta candombe llamada vida”, y tú, muerta de la risa!

- El lenguaje de amor principal de Enzo son las palabras de afirmación; es decir, Enzo maneja el vocabulario de manera perfecta. Siempre te habla de una manera encantadora, romántica e inteligente. La humildad de Enzo es tan notable que cada vez que te dice: “Qué guapa estás, te amo”, simplemente te hace derretir a millas.

- Sin embargo, aunque el contacto físico no sea su principal lenguaje de amor, Enzo es súper cariñoso contigo. Afortunadamente, no es muy público en sus demostraciones afectivas; él siempre te besará y te tocará en los momentos más íntimos y privados. Es decir, su enfoque en el tiempo de calidad se posiciona como su segunda prioridad en el lenguaje del amor.

- A Enzo le encanta bailar en la cocina y hacer comedia con Uma y Ada; estos son tus momentos favoritos, especialmente cuando te abraza internamente diciendo, 'Mi chiquitita' o 'Mi gorditaaaa'. Esos momentos seguramente crean un ambiente lleno de alegría y conexión.

Excerpt from this story from Truthout:

Rural La Paz County, Arizona, positioned on the Colorado River across from California, is at the center of a growing fight over water in the American Southwest. At the heart of the battle is a question: Should water be treated as a human right, to be allocated by governments with the priority of sustaining life? Or is it a commodity to be bought, sold and invested in for the greatest profits?

As the West suffers its worst megadrought in 1,200 years, investors have increasingly eyed water as a valuable asset and a resource to be exploited. For years, investment firms have bought up farmland throughout the Southwest, drilling to new depths for their water-hungry crops and causing nearby wells to run dry. Now, new players have entered the scene: “Water management companies” are purchasing up thousands of acres of farmland, with the intention of selling the water rights at a profit to cities and suburbs elsewhere in the state. Some argue that treating water as a commodity can efficiently get it where it is needed most. But others fear that water markets open the door to profiteering and hoarding, leaving poorer communities in the dust.

In 2013 and 2014, GSC Farm, a subsidiary of a water management company called Greenstone Resource Partners, which is backed by MassMutual, bought nearly 500 acres of farmland in Cibola, a tiny town in Arizona’s La Paz County, for just under $10 million. The farmland comes with the rights to more than 2,000 acre-feet of Colorado River water a year. (An acre-foot is the amount of water it takes to cover one acre with one foot of water.) Then in 2018, Greenstone sold the water rights, in perpetuity, to Queen Creek, a rapidly growing suburb of Phoenix nearly 200 miles away, for $24 million.

The transfer marked the first time a water management company sold Colorado River water rights. La Paz and two other counties sued to block the transfer, arguing that the Bureau of Reclamation, the federal agency that oversees water resource management, had conducted an insufficient environmental review before signing off. The counties’ request for a preliminary injunction was denied in April 2023 by a federal judge, and three months later the water began flowing down the Central Arizona Project, a 336-mile canal. Then, the judge seemingly backtracked in February 2024, ordering a more thorough environmental review.

“In the meantime, they’re still allowing for the water to flow, which we argued should have been stopped completely until the complete environmental studies have been done,” Holly Irwin, a La Paz County supervisor, told Truthout. “It’s really frustrating, not only for myself, but for the other leaders and elected officials in what we refer to as the river communities.”

The ultimate results of the lawsuit could affect how easily water management companies are able to transfer river water rights for profit in the future.

“I’ve had people already contacting me, asking, ‘Hey, look, I’m looking to buy this piece of property. It’s got water rights. Can it be transferred off the Colorado River?’” said Irwin. “Which is what we knew was going to happen. They just opened up Pandora’s box.”

Companies like Greenstone are betting that the price of water will increase. Western states generally allocate water through a “prior appropriation” policy of “first in time, first in right.” In times of shortage, those with the most senior water claims — often farmers and ranchers whose ancestors claimed Native land — are allotted their full share of water first. Now, companies like Greenstone are lining up to buy those increasingly valuable water rights.

The Colorado River provides drinking water to 40 million people across seven U.S. states, two Mexican states, and multiple tribal lands. Since 1922, its water has been allocated among the states through a framework created by the Colorado River Compact. But river volume has decreased 20 percent since the beginning of the century, leading to tense renegotiations, with the three “lower basin” states — California, Arizona and Nevada — agreeing to reduce their water shares.

Compared to Colorado River water, groundwater tends to be less regulated. Major investment banks have spent hundreds of millions buying up farms with claims to the groundwater beneath them — part of a larger movement by investors into physical assets like lumber, buildings and infrastructure.

Once pumped, groundwater aquifers in warm, dry places can take thousands of years to replenish. In an effort to conserve water basins, Arizona passed the 1980 Groundwater Management Act, heavily restricting groundwater pumping in several urban “active-management areas” (AMAs), including the Phoenix and Tucson areas. It also mandated that developers obtain a state Certificate of Assured Water Supply, demonstrating their new projects have enough water for 100 years. The law is credited as a success for protecting water levels in urban areas. But its lack of restrictions on groundwater removal from rural basins has become a concern as the state population swells and rural wells run dry.

The Fall of an Immortal

Retained loneliness Au

Chapter 1

Some time has passed since the events of Lbd and since then lately Wukong has felt an emptiness inside him, "what is this I feel...?" It was something that he always asked himself when he felt that, he tried to do his daily things but he couldn't, there was simply that emptiness, to alleviate that pain he sat down to meditate but when he meditated, memories of his friends, his teacher... his great love and that made him suddenly come out of his meditation and cough a little while crying, something was wrong and he knew that but he didn't know the cause of why that discomfort.

One day they were fighting one of the demons that always attacked the city to get Monkey Kid's attention, Wukong joined in to help but something was wrong and everyone noticed, he was slower and more distracted, his thoughts wouldn't leave him alone. When he suddenly felt a blow that sent him crashing against a wall, he only fell to the ground and remained silent without moving, beginning to cry after many centuries without doing so, blood came out of his mouth, "MONKEY KING!" Mk shouted, worried when he saw the weak state of his teacher, the named one only limited himself to crying, whispering "I miss them..." that's right, loneliness was slowly eating him up, he had no one, although Mk considered him son, he didn't spend much time quality with him, he was alone on his mountain alone with his disciples but that void in his heart was there, was there no one who could fill that void? We'll see later

Spanish

Cap��tulo 1

A pasado un tiempo desde los acontecimientos de Lbd el cual desde entonces últimamente wukong se a sentido un vacío en su interior, "que es esto que siento..?" Era algo que siempre se preguntaba al sentir aquello trataba de hacer sus cosas del día a día pero no podía simplemente estaba ese vacío, para aliviar aquel dolor se sentaba a meditar pero al meditar venían recuerdos de sus amigos, su maestro.. su gran amor y eso lo hacía salir de golpe de su meditación y toser un poco mientras lloraba, algo estaba mal y eso el lo sabía pero no sabia la causa de por qué aquel malestar.

Un día estaban peleando contra uno de los demonios que siempre atacaban la ciudad para llamar la atención de Monkey kid, Wukong se unio para ayudar pero algo estaba mal y todos los notaron, estaba más lento y más distraído, sus pensamientos no lo dejaban en paz, cuando derrepente sintio un golpe que lo mando a estrellarse contra una pared solo cayó al suelo y se quedó callado sin moverse comenzando a llorar después de muchos siglos sin hacerlo de su boca salía sangre, "MONKEY KING!" grito Mk preocupado al ver el estado tan débil de su maestro, el nombrado solo se limitaba a llorar susurrando "los extraño.. " así es la soledad lo estaba comiendo lentamente, no tenía a nadie aunque Mk lo consideraba su hijo no pasaba mucho tiempo de calidad con el, solo estaba en su montaña solo con sus discípulos pero ese vacío de su corazón estaba hay, no había nadie que pudiera cubrir aquel vacío? Eso lo veremos más adelante..

This is part of an Au that I created, the rights for me

[sillybigbird]

It's Mexico's independence day so heres some facts I know, but you can tell my favorite subject and the only one i could really pay attention in elementary school was History

Independence battle was started in 1810 (15-16 of september) and ended in 1821 (September 27th)

The revolution also started in a 10, 1910. (This was a revolution against the dictador Porfirio Diaz)

In 2010 the goverment make so many conmemorative events for it since it was 200 years from the independence and 100 of the revolution i even have a bill of that year

We find funny the stereotypical characterizations of the Mexicans. We are actually proud and glad of the interest.

We almost got governed by a French man, in fact, a lot of historians think we would be better if he made it to the power (he was executed after the French invasion)

The 5 of may conmemors the victory of the Puebla's forces against the French army (it was literally pure peasants with machete against French troops, it was a huge win even if we lost the thing after that lmao)

Where I live theres a huge seasonal fair that the goverment puts bc here was the main battle. The fair is next to the forts of the battle, and its crazy expensive so It's been years since i visited it)

Mexico City is actually constructed over a huge lake, where in the prehispanic times Tenochtitlan used to be. Tenochtitlan was full of man-made islands that held pyramids, villages, plantations. It was huge genius. The civilization settled there was the Mexicas (me-shi-cas) or better known as Aztecs. But with colonialism (1521) arrived and they literally burried all of that, the lake is still there and México city sinks over 3 cm per year.

Colonialism lasted over 3 centuries.

We actually have royalty: when we first were freed, the democracy wasn't implanted over the first couple of years as a free country. We had like 3 emperor until a new constitution was made and we were able to vote for our presidents. The last descendants of the last emperor are alive and residing in europe

Our famous president is Benito Juarez a peasant who scaalled until president, was built like a penguin and his most famous phrase is "Respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz" (Respect for the rights of others is peace). It's an inspiration for a lot of attorneys here. During his presidence the country's capital changed over 5 times because he was the one who had to held the French invasion.

Women vote its legal since 1952

Our presidencys lasts over 6 years.

We're going to have a new constitution soon and we're all fucking scared

We have an inside joke that in the north states the people dates their cousins (sweet home alabama Monterrey)

We all hate Santana (The guy who sold half of our contry)

The main religion practiced here its not catholicism. Its "Guadalupanism". Because theres a myth of an appearing of a Mary Virgin in (also) México city. 12 of december is another huge date bc of that. This religion is practiced over the 60% of the population (according to inegi)

In september 13th (also by the time of the French invasion) there was a confrontation Mexicans vs Frenchs in the Chapultepec Castle (Home of next to be French-mexican emperor) where the French tried to take over, but they were running so low in forces they needed help of the military academy with spldiers between the 12 and 19 years old. The history books said that was 6 kids that leaded and defended the castle, all dying in battle in such heroic ways (one of them involved himself in the flag and jumped of a rooftop to land over a French troop). There's a monument where their tombs are supposed to be. But this was recently discovered to be a myth and there's not actual historical evidence of this event. They were called "Niños heroes" (Hero kids)

For most of us, independence day is just an excuse to drink alcohol, eat a lot of typical food (I love my Dad's pozole. I LIVE FOR MY DAD'S POZOLE) and commit Arson.

My Dad makes such a delicious traditional Pozole.

Did I mention that i love my Dad's pozole?

My favorite food of here is cochinita pibil (traditional dish from Yucatan). And my favorite pastry is napolitan Flan, and impossible cake (a variant of Flan but with chocolate cake), my Dad recently taught me how to do Flan. I stand for Hibiscus Water bc im lactose intolerant and i cant drink horchata. My favorite candies are Santa Clara's Cookies and camotes (both typical from my region).

I like parties, how are made here. They're so fun.

My country is going to the shit and I'm so fucking scared
