Las Lajas Sanctuary

Las Lajas Sanctuary is located in southern Columbia in the municipality of Ipiales, South America. The gothic revival church was built in 1916-49 on a stone slab in the middle of the Guiátara river canyon. The local authorities and residents financed the project. An earlier straw and wood shrine once sat upon the site, with a larger shrine built in 1802. The church is also referred to as the National Shrine Basilica of Our Lady of Las Lajas or Las Lajas Shrine. The Roman Catholic Church sits on a 130 feet tall bridge over the Guiátara river. The castle boasts a mysterious mural of unknown origins and is known for a series of legends involving the appearance of the Virgin Mary. The unknown mural is portrayed on rock and depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus, with St Francis and St. Dominic praying. The most interesting part of this mural is the core samples taken by geologists claim there’s no paint, dye, or pigment used to create the image, and the colors come from the colors of the rocks. Amazingly, the rock is colored to a depth of several feet. Lajas Sanctuary received a canonical coronation from the Vatican in 1952 and was made a minor basilica in 1994. The church has wooden pews, stained glass windows, statuary, and plaques left by those making a pilgrimage to the church. The church is free to enter, but there is a charge for the museum.

Selecting the best location for a specialized coffee shop

Colombian coffee production is now focused on excelso coffee instead of producing high volumes of standard coffee. One of the main goals of ColombianGrowers Federation (FNC) is improving the profitability of producers[1], it includes increasing the internal coffee consumption of specialized varieties of coffee

Problem: A group of coffee growers in the department of Nariño1is interested in establishing a specialized coffee shop in Bogota City. They do not produce big quantities of coffee, then, they want to offer a great experience around the excelso coffee, taking advantage of its special sensorial attributes2. Specifically, they want to know the best suitable location for the coffee shop.

Data sources

Neighborhoods:Bogotá is divided in neighborhoods and localities. It was required to have a dataframe describing this relationship. After searching in different web sites, it was decided to use a pdf file which come from the "Secretaria de Salud Distrital" [4], it was required to translate the file into CSV format.

Localities venues: the locality boundaries from the Laboratorio Urbano de Bogota [5].

Neighborhoods venues: I used the Forsquare API for getting the most common venues of each neighborhood in Bogotá city.

Localities socioeconomic aspects:from the Laboratorio Urbano de Bogota [5].

Methodology

First of all, I used iteratively the Nominatim geolocator of geopy Python library in order to get the spatial coordinates of each neighborhood, by means of this procedure I get the following dataframe:

Table 1: Neighborhood spatial coordinates dataframe

Afterwards, in order to visualize geographic distribution of the neighborhoods I created a map by using the folium Python library, as it is shown in next figure. I also added the localities boundaries, it is really important due to, the majority of local open data is grouped by localities

Figure 1: Bogota neighborhood location

Now, the Foursquare API is used to explore the neighborhoods and segment them. Afterwards the rows where grouped by neighborhood and by taking the mean of the frequency of occurrence of each category. In particular the “Coffee shop” is used to determine the coffee shop density of each neighborhood, is is going to be the main indicator of density of coffee lovers. It was important to consider this aspect due to, the coffee experiences tends to be much more expensive than a traditional coffee shop, then it was required to find the places where there is already a stronger culture for coffee consumption. The results are shown in next figure, where It is possible to identify a big density of coffee shops in Four Localities: Santa Fé, Mártires, Chapinero and La Candelaria

Figure 2: Coffee shops density for different localities in Bogota City

Now, additional aspects are considered to select the best suitable locality. The open socioeconomic data from the Laboratorio Urbano de Bogota[5] was used for this purpose

Table 2: Main socioeconomic aspects of Bogota city localities in 2015[5]

According to these aspects, the Chapinero Locality is the best location for the coffee shop, because the total market is higher (much more people) and the quality of life is better, it means the are better conditions for expensive goods consumption.

4. Results

By means of the geospatial data, it was possible to identify the coffee shops density in Bogota city. By adding additional aspects to the model, such as general socioeconomic aspects, It was possible to identify that the most suitable location for a specialized coffee shop is the locality of Chapinero, this locality provides a high density of coffee lovers and a big market with high capacity for the consumption of these kind of products and services.

5. Conclusion

Colombian coffee production is changing its focus, now the excelso coffee and the experiences around this kind of coffee tends to be more profitable for small coffee growers. The geolocated information of a city is essential for providing a good location for placing new shops and the right conditions for the offer increases the probability to have success.

[P]artisan conflict spread across the coffee axis, following the precedent set in Boyaca and the Santanders, beginning in 1945. Liberal notables in coffee districts of Quindio and Tolima, fearing Conservative revenge for the upheaval - which materialized in a wave of local assassinations - mobilized peasant clients into guerrilla militias, hoping for an outcome different firom the War of a Thousand Days. Unlike nineteenth-century military conflicts, dominated by oligarchic leaders, during la Violencia Liberal commanders were peasants, with noms de guerre like "Sangrenegra" (Blackblood) and "Capitan Desquite" (Captain Vengeance).

The goal of these Liberal-communist guerrillas was to overthrow Conservative government, not establish a new society. Yet this resistance fiirther ignited the counterrevolution in the countryside. "Order" was restored in the capital when troops and volunteers came from nearby Conservative Boyaca to reinforce the Army, which remained loyal to Conservatives. The volunteers, known as chulavitas, were at first used locally in Chulavita County in Boyaca, where Liberal violence had been widespread in the 1930s: but in 1949, Liberal presidential candidate, Dario Echandia, was assassinated in Bogota. Thus Conservatives used chulavitas in Boyaca and the capital during and after the Bogotazo, and, later, in the coffee axis further south: Tolima, Valle del Cauca, and Viejo Caldas (Caldas, Risaralda, Quindio). Chulavitas were devoted to the Virgin of Carmen, as theirs was a "holy war" to rid the countryside of atheists, masons, and communists — in a word. Liberals. Backed by the clergy, in Antioquia, Gomez's Catholic legions mobilized to "conservatize" municipalities before upcoming elections; in Narino they did the same. Those from Nariiio, in turn, were recruited to help conservatize northern Valle, where Conservative advance was total. Liberal communities defected en masse in self-preservation once Conservative "civil police" replaced Liberal police in 1947-8, and were then organized into a professional force of political assassins in 1949-50.

When war broke out after Gaitan's death, the PSD - already outlawed by Ospina - focused on clandestine work in the countryside, advocating armed self-defense. In 1949 its first groups formed along the railway line in Santander, in the oil enclaves ofShell, Socony, and Tropical Oil in Northern Santander and Ariari; and, most importandy, given the subsequent course of events, in Tolima and Cundinamarca, where the PCC and UNIR's peasant leagues had been strongest in the 1930s. At the end of the year. Liberal chieftains, backed by the departmental governor, as well as leading merchant-landlords, ap- proached the party for help in setting up guerrillas. By 1950, with official sectarianism operating at a feverish pitch, gaitanistas formed a guerrilla front with PSD fighters in southern Tolima.

The response to 9 April and the revolutionary juntas was barbarous reprisal: Conservatives cut out the tongues and eyes of at least forty Liberals, and disemboweled others in San Rafael in Valle del Cauca, for example. Gaitanista county seats - there had been many in Valle in 1948 - were subject to "litde jobs" {trabajitos) , or selective assassinations, carried out by los pdjaros. These were birdlike killers working for Conservatives, who circidated in black cars wdthout plates, and "flew back" to daily life in the towns as devout Catholic butchers, drivers, bartenders, tailors, laundrymen, or police inspectors. Their leader, Leon Maria Lozano, "El Condor," began his participation in la Violenciawith. the defense of a chapel - where he had erected a shrine to the Virgen Maria Auxiliadora — against gaitanistas in Cali. He would soon run the largest, most well-protected gang of Conservative Catholic gunmen in northern Valle. He brought in professionals from Boyaca, Antioquia, Santander, Tolima, or Quindio, but recruited others from hamlets and municipios around Tulua. When he was a colonel in charge of the Third Brigade in Valle, Gustavo Rojas Pinilla appeared with El Condor in a photograph. Rojas Pinilla and the Conservative governor planned the suppression of the gaitanista revolt that had taken over Cali's Palacio de San Francisco. This was an important step in Rojas's political ascent, which he secured by putting down juntas revolucionarias throughout the department. Thereafter, Lozano and the pdjaros, working with secret police, terrorized the region. Under laureanista Governor Nicolas Borrero Olano, owner ofthe right-wing daily, Diario del Pactfico, Rojas Pinilla's declaration of "neutrality" in the face of spreading pdjaro violence allowed free circulation of anonymous killers hired to murder Liberals. Military "neutrality" was essential to the success of the "little jobs," or assassinations, in which the new Conservative police participated in gangs of three or four, with pdjaros. Coffee and cattle merchants, as well as mediumsized landowners, rose in their shadow. 

El Condor was only the most legendary of those in the business of political assassinations; he had counterparts in Viejo Caldas and Tolima. As in Viejo Caldas, the business of la Violencia in northern Valle and Tolima created avenues for upward mobility for middle sectors. The networks of patronage and protection in which the pdjaros moved were run by politicians who filled important legislative, diplomatic, and ministerial posts after la Violencia ended. 

 The more "the partisan content of oppositions was emphasized, the more these were stripped of their political potential," which led to the "disagregation, disorganization, and disarticulation" of radical-popular forces.^^ In vain, the Liberal oligarchy, at the suggestion of Lopez Pumarejo and the insistence of Carlos Lleras Restrepo, tried to recuperate the broken bipartisan consensus. In Bogota, the Liberal newspaper, El Tiempo, as well as the houses of Lleras Restrepo and Lopez Pumarejo, were torched by Conservatives in 1949, demonstrating the impossibility of slowing the momentum of Conservative extremism. In coffee smallholding zones, the aim was not to achieve victory on the battlefield, but to expel the enemy from the region. Conquest of territory - the accumulation of land, livestock, and coffee - was the goal, and killing obeyed a sinister calculus of pain and cruelty. Pregnant women were disemboweled and fetuses destroyed, so new members of the opposite party would not be born.

...    

In the second phase, Laureano Gomez, elected president in 1950, was determined to prevent a repetition of the Bogotazo and its provincial variants. Once laureanistas took over, violence in Antioquia was concentrated in geographically peripheral, but economically strategic re- gions, where Afro-Colombian majorities - organized in the 1940s as gaitanista railroad workers, miners, and road workers - supported radical opposition politics and armed insurgency. There, the central and regional state's institutional presence was limited to the police and armed forces. Where these proved ineffective, as in Uraba and the east (the Lower Cauca, Magdalena Medio, and the northeast), power was transferred to the contrachusma — parastate forces that, set in motion, proved even more difficult for Conservative elites to manage than police and the armed forces. 

Gomez withdrew due to poor health soon after his term began, and Roberto Urdaneta Arbelaez became the titular head of government in October 1951, as la Violencia took on a greater intensity, appeared in new forms, and affected new regions. Gomez was the first president whose national program sanctioned the most reactionary developments in the regions. The peasantry suffered the brunt ofstate violence: recently returned from Korea, for example, Batallon Colombia massacred 1,500 peasants in a rural area outside El Libano, Tolima, in 1952.

...

When Gomez attempted to resume his duties in 1953, he was ousted by Colombia's only military coup of modern times, in part because the Conservatives had split between extremists and moderates. The latter abhorred the parastate contrachmma and its variants, as well as the generalized persecution and criminalization of upstanding Liberal citizens. General Rojas Pinilla, now head of the Army, seized power with the support of Gomez's factional opponents within the Conservative Party, with which he had close family and personal connections. He set about molding organized labor into a clientelist bloc. His anti-oligarchic, nationalist discourse has led some scholars to see him as a figure similar to Argentina's Juan Peron. But Rojas Pinilla participated in the Conservative bloodletting as a commander - even the US Embassy complained that he "saw a red behind every coffee bush" - and, as president, amassed a fortune in crooked cattle and real-estate deals. He also personally intervened to free El Condor, leader of the pajaros, from jail in Buga.

With heavier and more decentralized repression, rural violence was far from extinguished under Rojas Pinilla. Beginning with Gomez, violence had become part of central government policy. No longer exclusively regional, it had become a national terror that increased rather than decreased after the "guerrilla threat" was absent. The foundations of the cold war national security state were erected earlier in Colombia than anywhere else in Latin America, since they meshed with Creole traditions of partisan sectarianism. Under Gomez, partisan sectarianism had begun to open the fault lines of the bipartisan system itself, however; and, to the delight of Liberals, Rojas Pinilla made "reconciliation" between the two parties his first priority. Toward that end, his most significant act as president was to declare a general amnesty for Liberal guerrillas. The first demobilization, backed by merchants, landlords, and political bosses, took place in central Tolima. It was widely publicized as a means ofenticing guerrilla chiefs in northern and southern Tolima to follow, which they did. Commanders like Rafael Rangel, who operated in the Magdalena Medio, and Captain Franco Yepes in Antioquia, were not far behind. After five years offighting, the strongest Liberal guerrillas, a force ofsome 1 0,000 on the eastern plains, turned over their arms, under the leadership of Guadelupe Salcedo.

TOP TEN MUST VISIT CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD

Starting out with a basic definition, we can say that a church is a building where Christians meet for praying and for worshiping Jesus who, according to them was the ‘’Son of God���’ and whose sole purpose was to save humanity from sins and it was owing to this mission of his on Earth that he was crucified.

Since then, and by ‘’then’’ we mean the ancient times, the times when Christianity started, there have been literally an abundance of churches. And in this blog of ours we will be discussing about the various churches which are famous worldwide and are known for their grandeur.

1)Las Lajas Cathedral

Las Lajas Cathedral is one of the truly magnificent churches which is present in the southern Colombian Department of Narino. Las Lajas Cathedral was built in the Gothic Revival style in the year of 1949. An interesting fact is that the word ‘’Laja’’ comes from the name of a type of sedimentary rock.

What is truly miraculous is the fact that this church’s creation was a result of a somewhat magical event which took place in the year of 1754. The story goes like this: It was the year of 1754 when an Amerindian woman named Maria Mueces and her deaf-mute daughter Rosa were caught in a very strong storm and to save themselves they had to take refuge between the gigantic Lajas where owing to a miracle Rosa was healed after which the place was revered to be a spiritual abode for the unhappy and tormented souls. If you want to experience the times gone and the history of this place then make your flight reservations for Las Lajas Cathedral right away.

2)St. Basil’s Cathedral

St. Basil’s cathedral is situated on the red square Moscow, Russia. It was built between the years of 1555-61. It was built on the order of Ivan the Terrible to celebrate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It is particularly and specifically built in the geometrical centre of the city.

It won’t be wrong if we would say that it is perhaps one of the most colourful and unique churches around the world in terms of its architecture.

3)Notre Dame

Notre Dame Cathedral or simply referred to as Notre Dame is situated in Paris, France. And is one of the most famous architectural wonder not just because it is a church but in terms of the cultural heritage and the wonderful and fantastic tourism value. It is one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in France and it won’t be too much to say that in the whole world too. To see and feel the magic of this culturally rich place, fly to Paris and land on the world of much historical significance. Book your airlines tickets to Paris at cheap airfares with us.

4)The Crystal Cathedral

The Crystal Cathedral is a Christian church building and is an absolute piece of fine architecture owing to its opulent and shimmering glasses out of which it has been made.  Situated in Garden Grove, Orange County, California it was designed by architect Philip Johnson and has the capacity to have about 2,736 people which is amazing in itself.

5)Westminster Abbey, London

Westminster Abbey London is one of the most pristine churches around the world. It is situated at the west side of the Palace of Westminster.  Built in 10th century England it is now a UNESCO world heritage site.

6)St.Paul’s Cathedral London

This is the seat of bishop of London. The original building dates back to 604 AD and was established in the name of Paul the Apostle. However, the current church dates back to 17th century and it was given the name like its predecessor.

7)Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, Israel

The Basilica of the holy sepulchre is also known as the church of the Resurrection. The church is located on the hill of cavalry where Jesus was crucified. At least, it is believed it to be so. For Christians, it is the most important pilgrimage destination and this church is one of the most profound attractions of Jerusalem. It is one thing to see the church in photos or on the internet but it is altogether a different thing to go there and breathe in the very air. Get the last minute flight deals at dirt cheap airlines tickets with us.

8) Saint Mark’s Basilica, Venice, Italy

Saint Mark’s Basilica is situated in Italy and is perhaps the most famous church of Venice and is known for its somewhat dramatic architecture and it is owing to this fact that it always remains at the top of every tourist’s visit list. Saint Mark’s Basilica was constructed in the year of 1650 and since then it is famous for its giant aura.

9) Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, Spain

Sagrada Familia was designed by Antoni Gaudi (185-1926). The church’s construction began in 1882 and it is incomplete till today. Even though, it has been incomplete still it is considered to be a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s architecture is truly mesmerizing even though it is incomplete. So, if the wanderlust present in you is continuously thriving to create a difference and is pushing you to reach out then, taking it as your calling for traveling book your airlines tickets with us and fly to your inner liberation.

10) Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey

Hagia Sophia was a church (537-1453), then, it was transformed into a mosque. Currently it is a museum showcasing the past like a mirror image with a sense of culture harbouring the stories itself known as history in logical language.
