#yann iv

[rewritingcanon]

nextgen/hpcc characters going to an australian public high school:

rose: follows the social hierarchy to the tee and takes the shit from the year levels above her. but when she gets to year 12 she’s such a fucking menace to the years below her. and she gets her special year 12 amenities like access to the school microwave and toaster and kettle and she takes it very seriously that no one in the younger years can use it. if she had to wait so does everyone else. also she’s school captain and is the one always saying speeches at assembly and at athletics day. thinks she’s politically correct but then will turn around and tease scorpius for stuttering or sum.

albus: kinda unproblematic and keeps to himself but always gets bag checked and sent home for not wearing the right uniform (it’s always something so unserious like wearing a hoodie under his jacket or different socks). never used to actually lock his locker right and people immediately clocked that and stole his lock so its just unprotected. karl jenkins is always ransacking his locker so he barely has anything in it. wagged on formal and wouldve wagged on grad if he could. every time he walks through the school gates he gets swooped by a magpie.

teddy: choofs in the bathroom all the time, offers to share with anyone and everyone so all of the year 8s and 9s think he’s the coolest. only contributes in hums classes, dgaf about anything sciencey or mathy. chronic wagger. andromeda comes to his parent teacher interviews. got viral on tiktok once and people tried to clout chase him. a gazillion extracurriculars. pen ink all over his shirt. shit atar. has to do tafe after high school bc of it.

scorpius: the only one who didn’t fucking flop at specialist maths so the class’ mark didn’t get weighted up and so everyone whose ever shared a class with him hates his ass for it. when albus is absent scorpius tries to befriend whatever teacher is there on yard duty. you can catch his ass always at the canteen too buying the most outrageous shit for him and albus. he’s always got a fully stocked and well loved lunchbox, so its not for lack of care. constant victim of the eshays, once sat in the wrong spot and almost got bashed. school dux, but rose claimed valedictorian (she wasn’t happy).

craig: also definitely school captain, but he hatessss doing the speeches. just let him quietly organise the NAIDOC week activities in peace. studies in the library loads. unproblematic as hell, helps tutor year 10s in the library after school too. lowkey knew how to teach maths better than the maths teachers did, so they all liked him. wouldn’t let people copy off him so was kinda a stick in the mud for that. has beef with his year 10 english teacher who confiscated his beanie.

polly: she’s got a organiser in her locker and pictures of her friends put up everywhere inside. always cussing out the eshays and threatening to bash them. takes group costumes for athletics day way too serious and makes sure all her friends coordinate with her vision. absolutely slays the swimming carnival, her friends always are super annoying spectators on the side. super popular, always doing her makeup at the back of the class. did all the ATAR subjects but kinda flopped in it all. has secret beef with most of her teachers. chronic complainer, never thinks her shitty grades are her fault.

victoire: valedictorian of her year. prettiest girl in the school fr. played netball. knows all her friends and teachers birthdays and would always do the thing where she’d get a card and get everyone in her homegroup to sign it. has mostly everyone from school on snap. planned the yearbook, the year 11 formal, the grad afterparty, etc.

karl: lowkey an eshay but absolutely don’t say this to his face. his friendship with yann is like the only thing that is preventing him joining Those group of boys. only did outdoor ed for the camp. took a shit in the bathroom sinks during muck up day but no one could prove it was him. always goes to polly/rose/yann’s class during his frees to fuck around and usually gets kicked out for disrupting the class (“but Misssssss ☹️”). puts dollops of wet toilet paper in albus’ locker

yann: always the one filming school fights. starts rumours about people he’s irritated with, even his own friends. is best friends with the science teachers. is the one everyone goes to for gum. can dig up the most crazy info on teachers ever, someone give this guy a job in background checks. has been playing cricket since he was nine.

james: school captain but lowkey against his will. plays footy during lunch. had The Australian Mullet in year 8 but ginny threatened to shave him bald so it thankfully didnt last. gets invited to a gazillion house parties but stands most of them up to be at home and just nap. people always try to start beef with him for popularity but they always later find out that james dgaf at alllll. doesnt care for listening to music but doesnt want people approaching him so he’ll plug his airpods in and listen to the abc on the way to school/during lazy classes pretending he’s normal and listening to hozier or some bull. trauma bonded with his lote class.

lily: got suspended for bashing someone in the stairwell for calling albus a slur. plays footy and netball and highkey is better than most of the boys that play. planted a tree in the toilets one day. spends all her frees shopping out of school. buys herself heaps of ramen and forces james to use his year 12 privilege and cook it for her. has an electric scooter and is so irritating about it. actually really gafs about afl season and barracks for geelong (simply because she likes cats, and it just stuck). always getting moved in class because she yaps too much and too loud.

dominique: is always bashing someone and getting filmed (probs by yann). no one really learns she’s victoire’s little sister because they are soooo different in looks and personality. always going to school high as a kite. got sent home on muck up day for egging the principal and almost got kicked out of the grad ceremony. known as The Only Lesbian in school (she’s bisexual).

delphi: moved from getting homeschooled. does folio subjects. plays devil’s advocate in history class. never ever wearing school uniform but she’s too difficult to deal with so the teachers just leave her alone (also none of the office ladies want to call euphemia rowle 😭). spends most of her time at wellbeing. would sell empty vapes to year 7s in the girls bathrooms. that mf who tries to befriend the spiders 💀 and she’d throw them in people’s hair

hugo: used to be pressured by his mum to study for naplan so was waiting until he could be set free in year 10 (he doesnt have to do naplan anymore but he does have six assignments due tomorrow). he and rose were definitely kumon kids. always late to homegroup. the drama teacher loves him. got recorded bashing some older guy at a train station because the guy stepped in his hsp and then became a meme around school for a month or two. acts like he dgaf but will go home and cry over his grades in his room.

[dustyspines]

I miss the gang and am obviously obsessed with how you write them, do you have any thoughts or snippets you’d like to share?? <3

many sorrys it took me so long to get to this but because it's you i wanted to put in some extra effort!!! so YES i have snippets and many thoughts so under the cut here i present to you: pinterest board screenshots and gang snippets from my currently unnamed (tentatively titled the dictionary) fic <3

karl. beloved. he's the sweet muggle-born hufflepuff who has an affinity to charms, specifically in the modification/adaptation of charms to make household items more useful. he works in a little trinkets shop in diagon alley where people bring in misbehaving items that need fixing, or to request an adaptation to something they need help with. he charms quills to write in different colours so those with colour-blindness can see. he charms teapots to chime when they reach the boil so those a little more forgetful don't set their houses on fire. he did a year's training the the misuse of muggle artefacts department before taking up the job, and it's the joy of his life <3

outside of work he plays the piano, he loves music and finding funky jumpers in charity shops that are to big but are cosy for all seasons. he loves animals, and his second best subject was magical creatures, but he needs socialisation with people more than he does animals which is why he's so outgoing and friendly and sickeningly loyal to his friends (to a point where he sometimes oversteps but it isn't intentional)

craig. another BELOVED. outspoken but respectful half-blood slytherin with a passion for football that he used to provide tactics for the quidditch team at hogwarts. he's the shortest of the group but is nimble and fast which is why nobody cares, nor does he. he likes coffee in a Proper way, and is very passionate about the brewing of certain kinds (a point of contention with yann who doesn't give af and will use instant coffee powder just to tease him). he works as a speech therapist/mind healer hybrid at st. mungo's, specifically working with kids with traumatic childhoods who need help with their speech before they go to hogwarts. he has a good base knowledge in both magical and muggle medicine practices so is usually the mom friend of the group, but he doesn't mind.

he likes friendship bracelets (because the kids he works with will make him loads of the thread-knot kind) and he forces his friends to go on jogs with him when he thinks they've been inside for too long.

POLLY beloved!!!!! back in school she started a student radio broadcast (thanks to karl's charms skills where he found a way to connect the gramophones/record players in the castle together to work without electricity). she loves music of all eras and is chronic for being a bit of a know-it-all. after school she took up an assistant position in the biggest magical radio broadcasting company and has been hosting the breakfast show for a while now where she plays a mix of muggle and magical music.

she loves rings and mismatching nail polish but the paint is always chipped because she's so hands on with everything. her hair is perpetually braided because she can't be bothered to keep tucking it behind her ears all the time. she has a slight mean streak and knows it but it always comes from a place of care because she just can't stand people who beat around the bush instead of being honest with each other. yann is obsessed with her n they've been living together since they left school but she pretends to be cool about it just so he looks like the crazy one.

yann <3 he wears glasses, he has lovely wavy hair. you'll never catch him dead in a pair of jeans. he's a pureblood from france who went to hogwarts because he'd been living with his grandmother in london since he was a kid and decided staying in the uk would be better in the long run. he works in madam malkin's as a tailor but focuses on male silhouettes, and most of the clothes he wears are made by him. his grandmother taught him everything he knew and he decided he didn't care enough about magic to take up a magical career, hence why he went into tailoring instead.

he has the whole tall and handsome and mysterious thing going on (he's the tallest of the bunch) but it's ironic because he's the most open of them all when you get to know him. super smart but you'd never know because he's very quiet about it. keeps secrets the best because he understand the value in having a person to trust and talk to, but gives the best advice so people don't end up upset. refuses to listen to any criticism of polly because she's always nice to him; doesn't realise it's only him she's always nice to because they're together. has big tunnel vision when it comes to her.

^ that board is just called vibes because it's just capturing the Essence. they start age 20/21 and it goes until they're 24/25, so it's a good four years of their life post-hogwarts.

it's very right where you left me LOL. friends break up friends get married etc. etc.

i haven't written too much that is super Finished, the doc is at 30k-ish words right now. but there are two Gang-centric scenes so here are some lines from those that i really like :)

aaaand that's The Gang. for now. it's fun to know where they're going to end up without really knowing how they get there.

[farawayfarleyfan]

abby is definitely trans, and while of course there are an infinite amount of ways she realises this (not counting the unhinged ones which are even more infinite) but i think i just came up with my 2nd funniest idea for how she realises it, which is that she gets jealous of how trix gets to be a "Cool Tgirl™" and tries to get in on this action by trying to fake being trans and coming out to everyone, who all wholeheartedly accept them, and of course, this then goes exactly how one would expect it to go. with her at one point going to trix to cry about it for so long while she stands there unblinking at what might be the worlds most convoluted way for someone to accept they are trans

[shiteatinggrin]

yo do any of you guys know about life of pi? its an insane book about a guy trapped on a lifeboat with a tiger

[rowrowronnie]

CRINGE ALERT!!! i feel the need to share songs i associate w/some of my fav dano characters sooo:

louis ives:

louis to me, is definitely a french enjoyer!! she loves all things french- the music, the movies, the art. i wanna believe she once had a dream of moving to france and living in montmarte, surrounding herself with a revolving platter of different creatives… basically living the dream of previous 19th century artists lol

i also think of her whenever i hear any sappy 60-80s love songs so erm.. (i am enamoured with her...)

• The Girl - Theme by Trevor Duncan

• Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by Frankie Valli

• The Lady In Red by Chris de Burgh

• Chanson de Delphine by Anne Germain

• C’est pas prudent by Alice Dona

edward nashton:

eddie’s stuff varies between incomprehensible noise, to classical music, to any song about obsession and love, etcetera.

i almost put she by tyler the creator on here but i held myself back because that song’s more incel type vibes, and i don't think eddie's an incel; but the stalker/voyeuristic stuff tyler goes into is sooooooo him, like actually!!!

anyways.. felt the need to mention that because it felt wrong not to, esp with a song so eddie coded

• Eternal Flame by The Bangles

• E[N]IGMA by Yann Robin and João Barradas (this is literally just discordant accordion sounds for 14 minutes and it literally works so well w/him, i love it)

• String Quartet No. 5 in F Minor, Op. 9 by Antonín Dvořák

• Bells (Excerpt) by Albert Ayler Quintet (this feels like his mind to me, i love avant garde jazz!!!)

• While I’m Still Here by Nine Inch Nails

alex jones/barry milland:

barry my love... a lot of the songs i think he'd like and also associate with him, are ones with beautifully lonely guitar stuff and lyrics about nature, mental health- basically anything with a melancholic sort of vibe.

i like to think he listens to music when he's camping in his rv, a window rolled down so the cool yet sticky humidity makes the car smell less stale.. the slight rustle of leaves, the shine of the moon in the rear window... y.. yeah.g..

• Parking Lot by Pavlov’s Pasta Dogs (honestly a lot of songs by ppd feel very barry coded)

• Help Is Round the Corner by Coldplay

• 2001 by Poor You

• Justice of the Hood by Dead Sullivan

• Moon, I Already Know by Mount Eerie

DeepSeek – Nhân tố mới khiến thị trường AI chao đảo

DeepSeek đang tạo ra "cơn sốt giá rẻ" trong lĩnh vực AI, tương tự như cách Temu tác động đến thương mại điện tử. Tuy nhiên, giới chuyên gia đặt dấu hỏi về chi phí thực sự của mô hình này và liệu nó có thể cạnh tranh với các "ông lớn" như OpenAI hay Nvidia hay không.

DeepSeek – "Temu của AI" đang gây chú ý

Giới chuyên gia đang so sánh DeepSeek với Temu, khi cả hai đều tạo ra làn sóng "giá rẻ" trong lĩnh vực của mình. Dan Ives, chuyên gia tại Wedbush Securities, nhận định:

“DeepSeek là Temu của AI. Những gì đang diễn ra tương tự như cách Temu làm chao đảo Amazon trước đây.”

Tương tự, Adam Spatacco từ Motley Fool cho rằng khi Temu ra mắt năm 2022 tại Mỹ, mô hình giá rẻ của nền tảng này trở thành mối đe dọa lớn đối với Amazon, buộc gã khổng lồ thương mại điện tử phải thay đổi chiến lược.

Tương tự, sự xuất hiện của DeepSeek có thể tác động mạnh đến ngành AI, nơi các mô hình ngôn ngữ lớn (LLM) đang cạnh tranh khốc liệt. Theo Spatacco, sự phát triển của DeepSeek là minh chứng cho việc thị trường AI vẫn có chỗ cho nhiều mô hình cạnh tranh.

DeepSeek có th��c sự là đối thủ của OpenAI hay Nvidia?

Dù tạo ra nhiều kỳ vọng, các chuyên gia nhận định DeepSeek chưa thể đe dọa các "ông lớn" như ChatGPT hay Nvidia. Spatacco cho rằng:

“DeepSeek có thể giúp lĩnh vực AI phát triển nhanh hơn và tiết kiệm chi phí, nhưng không phải là mối đe dọa hiện hữu với ChatGPT hay Nvidia.”

DeepSeek nổi bật với các mô hình V3/R1, được cho là có chi phí đào tạo chỉ 6 triệu USD nhưng vẫn đạt hiệu suất không kém các nền tảng AI hàng đầu. Tuy nhiên, con số này bị nhiều chuyên gia đặt dấu hỏi.

Dan Ives cho rằng:

“Không thể xây dựng một mô hình AI với chỉ 6 triệu USD mà không có phần cứng tiên tiến như Nvidia.”

Yann LeCun, Giám đốc AI của Meta, cũng cho rằng thị trường đã phản ứng sai, dẫn đến những hiểu lầm lớn về chi phí phát triển AI của các công ty Mỹ so với DeepSeek.

DeepSeek sử dụng chiến lược "chưng cất" để tối ưu chi phí?

Theo báo cáo từ SemiAnalysis, tổng chi phí hạ tầng máy chủ của DeepSeek có thể lên đến 1,6 tỷ USD, trong đó 944 triệu USD dành cho vận hành hệ thống.

Để đạt hiệu suất cao với chi phí thấp, DeepSeek được cho là sử dụng kỹ thuật "chưng cất" mô hình, tức là tận dụng kết quả từ các mô hình AI lớn hơn để huấn luyện mô hình nhỏ hơn, giúp tiết kiệm chi phí nhưng vẫn đảm bảo chất lượng đầu ra.

DeepSeek được thành lập vào tháng 5/2023, trụ sở tại Hàng Châu, Chiết Giang, do quỹ đầu tư High-Flyer sở hữu. Công ty khẳng định không có kế hoạch huy động vốn, thay vào đó tập trung vào xây dựng công nghệ nền tảng.

Dù tạo ra nhiều kỳ vọng, các chuyên gia nhận định DeepSeek chưa thể đe dọa các "ông lớn" như ChatGPT hay Nvidia. Spatacco cho rằng:

“DeepSeek có thể giúp lĩnh vực AI phát triển nhanh hơn và tiết kiệm chi phí, nhưng không phải là mối đe dọa hiện hữu với ChatGPT hay Nvidia.”

DeepSeek nổi bật với các mô hình V3/R1, được cho là có chi phí đào tạo chỉ 6 triệu USD nhưng vẫn đạt hiệu suất không kém các nền tảng AI hàng đầu. Tuy nhiên, con số này bị nhiều chuyên gia đặt dấu hỏi.

Dan Ives cho rằng:

“Không thể xây dựng một mô hình AI với chỉ 6 triệu USD mà không có phần cứng tiên tiến như Nvidia.”

Yann LeCun, Giám đốc AI của Meta, cũng cho rằng thị trường đã phản ứng sai, dẫn đến những hiểu lầm lớn về chi phí phát triển AI của các công ty Mỹ so với DeepSeek.

DeepSeek sử dụng chiến lược "chưng cất" để tối ưu chi phí?

Theo báo cáo từ SemiAnalysis, tổng chi phí hạ tầng máy chủ của DeepSeek có thể lên đến 1,6 tỷ USD, trong đó 944 triệu USD dành cho vận hành hệ thống.

Để đạt hiệu suất cao với chi phí thấp, DeepSeek được cho là sử dụng kỹ thuật "chưng cất" mô hình, tức là tận dụng kết quả từ các mô hình AI lớn hơn để huấn luyện mô hình nhỏ hơn, giúp tiết kiệm chi phí nhưng vẫn đảm bảo chất lượng đầu ra.

DeepSeek được thành lập vào tháng 5/2023, trụ sở tại Hàng Châu, Chiết Giang, do quỹ đầu tư High-Flyer sở hữu. Công ty khẳng định không có kế hoạch huy động vốn, thay vào đó tập trung vào xây dựng công nghệ nền tảng.

Pedro Serrano, el náufrago español que sobrevivió 8 años en una isla caribeña: inspiró a Robinson Crusoe.

Espasa edita La mitad del mundo que fue de España relato dedicado a las hazañas marítimas de la corona española, de la mano del economista e historiador Ramón Tamames.

La fascinación de García Márquez en su Relato de un náufrago o la más reciente Vida de Pi, de Yann Martel, beben de un antecesor, un libro que sirvió para asentar los rasgos y narrativa del náufrago: Robinson Crusoe. En un periodo de expansión por mar de todas las potencias europeas, las malas condiciones del viaje y los peligros constantes en el camino, hacían de este tipo de travesías empresas muy arriesgadas, en las que el naufragio era una posibilidad constante.

Aquellos que sobrevivían al hundimiento y alcanzaban tierra llevaban la marca de la espera sobre sus cuerpos hasta que la casualidad atrajese a otro barco cerca de su posición. No es de extrañar que las historias de quienes después volvían a la civilización, ya salvados, alimentasen los sueños de miles de escritores.

¿Pero quién era realmente el protagonista de la novela de Defoe? La historia de Alexander Selkirk en 1704 alimentó a los tabloides europeos durante meses y se entiende como una fuente de inspiración directa de Robinson Crusoe. Sin embargo, hubo otro caso que dejó una profunda impronta en el imaginario colectivo, casi dos siglos antes.

El historiador y economista Ramón Tamames acaba de publicar La mitad del mundo que fue de España: Una historia verdadera, casi increible (Espasa), un libro que da buena cuenta de una época en la que la Monarquía Hispánica se lanzó al mar en busca de nuevos horizontes y territorios para el Imperio. Un relato ágil y entretenido que pone atención en episodios olvidados de nuestra historia, como la caravana de vacunas de Carlos IV o la historia de Pedro Serrano, el náufrago español en el que Defoe basó su Robinson Crusoe.

El banco de arena

En 1526, Pedro Serrano recorría la distancia que separaba La Habana de Cartagena de Indias, una región del Caribe repleta de atolones y pequeños archipiélagos. Serrano, de origen cántabro, servía como capitán de un patache, una nave pequeña con solo dos mástiles. Durante el viaje, una tormenta sorprendió a la embarcación, que no pudo aguantar el envite de la borrasca y acabó hundiéndose. Serrano, único superviviente, consiguió nadar hasta un banco de arena cercano.

El desolador paisaje se extendía unos cuantos kilómetros a la redonda, conformado por playa en su mayoría. Solo una pequeña franja del atolón contaba con la vegetación suficiente de palmeras y arbustos secos para poder protegerse. Un lugar inhóspito que recibiría el nombre de su más célebre habitante, el Arenal Serrana o Banco de Serrana.

La única compañía del marinero durante cuatro largos años fue la de las tortugas y cangrejos que llegaban a la arena. De la sangre de las primeras obtuvo bebida, usando los caparazones para recoger agua de lluvia y almacenarla. Con corales y rocas construyó una torre desde la que mandar señales a los barcos que pudiesen pasar cerca.

Viernes

Cuando se cumplía casi un lustro desde su naufragio, Serrano vio que otro cuerpo llegaba a la orilla, otro ser humano que había sido víctima de las tormentas tropicales. Asustados ambos de la presencia del otro, Serrano recitó el credo para demostrarle que era "buen cristiano", según los cronistas de la época.

El recién llegado, español también, convivió con el cántabro durante años, repartiéndose las tareas que les ocupaban en su supervivencia. Con la madera de los restos de otros navíos desafortunados encendían fogatas con las que enviar señales de humo; recogían marisco y peces para comer; así como tortugas y aves extraviadas. De la misma forma que Crusoe tuvo su Viernes, Serrano convivió durante cuatro años más con un compañero, cuyo nombre no sobrevivió hasta nuestros días.

Salvación

En aquel lugar apartado, los barcos rara vez pasaban cerca y los pocos que lo hacían no se aventuraban hasta el lugar por miedo a encallar en la arena. En 1534, un galeón, que hacía la misma travesía que el patache del español antes de hundirse, vio las señales desde la orilla y mandó un bote al rescate.

Ambos hombres fueron llevados a bordo y trasladados a España, un viaje que el compañero de Serrano no pudo completar, muriendo durante la travesía, antes de llegar a puerto. El capitán fue llevado rápidamente a Alemania, en presencia de Carlos V, que escuchó su relato sorprendido por lo ocurrido y por la enorme barba que portaba el cántabro.

El monarca, conmovido por la historia le adjuntó una pensión de cuatro mil pesos, una suma considerable para la época que creció con lo que ya ganaba de población en población contando su historia. Tamames en su investigación sobre el náufrago cita publicaciones de la época en las que se describe a Serrano como "animador de fiestas cortesanas" en las que contaba "la odisea de su supervivencia".

Una vez cansado de ser un "mono de feria", decidió emprender rumbo a Perú. Allí le esperaba "un retiro de 4.800 ducados otorgados por su majestad. Sin embargo, el cántabro nunca llegó a su destino y murió al desembarcar en Panamá.

Un Crusoe español

La fama de Serrano se extendió aún más con la publicación en 1609 de los Comentarios Reales de los Incas , del cronista Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. La suerte quiso que Daniel Defoe viajase en 1661 por España y Francia. La azarosa vida del escritor le condujo hasta el norte de la Península, que recorrió durante varios años. De los conocimientos adquiridos en ese tiempo dio buena cuenta en Las memorias de guerra del capitán George Carleton, una novela basada en la vuelta a Inglaterra de un capitán ficticio en plena Guerra de Sucesión española.

Defoe llenó esta novela de aventuras de detalles de la orografía pirenaica, dejando nombres como Tafalla u Olite desperdigados por el relato. No es de extrañar que el escritor llegase a estar en contacto con la historia de Pedro Serrano durante sus viajes, quizás escuchándolo en alguna taberna, quizás incluso cerca de donde nació el náufrago cántabro.

El lago español

"Pero a mí nada me entusiasmaba tanto como el mar, y dominado por este deseo, me negaba a acatar la voluntad de mi padre y a escuchar las súplicas y ruegos de mi madre", escribía Defoe sobre el sentimiento que el mar había causado en Crusoe. Un mar que como también decía el escritor americano Herman Melville: "Atrae a las personas".

De esa atracción se llenan las páginas de La mitad del mundo que fue de España. Su autor, Ramón Tamames, establece un relato histórico coherente sobre la historia de la navegación a partir de la conquista del Nuevo Mundo. Una epopeya con el océano Pacífico en su centro, el spanish lake o lago español.

Una época que tuvo capítulos tan interesantes como el de la Expedición Balmis, llamada así en honor al médico español que llevó vacunas por todo el Nuevo Mundo en una expedición de tres años. A bordo del María Pita viajaron más de 30 niños, portadores de anticuerpos, así como cargamentos de linfa con el objetivo de vacunar de la viruela a la población civil por todo el globo.
