Barbara Weber Oil On Canvas

AEXA (fm)

One of the most important news of Easter Week was the creation (if only by decree) Xicana Space Agency (AEXA bureaucrat for short) that , according to many, gives started the space age in our country. The truth is that beyond the tradition in astronomy that Mexico has grown by almost as strong as the production of soaps, space research is not new, what is said in this new land that has given birth to chicharito Hernández. Precisely in Los Mochis, near the citys land and so today given the other fireworks during the celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of the city in 1963 launched a rocket from a packed baseball stadium, the great sporting passion Pacific . The novelty was that it was not Tultepec style pyrotechnics, but a device designed by a group of physicists and physics students University of San Luis Potosi , including Candelario Pérez and Juan Cardenas. This group spent several years designing solid fuel rocket launched from a place that, given the amount of cactus and cactus potosinos Cape was known as Tuna. The first major success of Potosi was the launch of a rocket the same year that the Soviets put Sputnik into orbit on 28 December 1957. Under the direction of Gustavo del Castillo and with a more or less a year of study did launch a projectile of 1.70 meters high and 8 kg of weight that reached a height of 2, 500 meters. The first rocket scientist Mexico had started the space age in Mexico. The joke was not in flare potosina rocket. Improved designs and the program continued until 1972, when it was canceled permanently. However, it has been the only Mexican spatial experience. I do not mean to walk Neri Vela orbital undoubtedly valuable, but almost entirely dependent on NASA. In 1958 the Ministry of Communications and Transport has launched a liquid-fueled rocket from Guanajuato. Meanwhile the project was still potosino parts of two stages and the design of artifacts of three. Back in the eighties the satellite into orbit Mexicans, although they were of foreign manufacture, allowed the development of space control capabilities, and made space center Iztapalapa. Which is the most logical reason for Johnny and Clara Brugada landed there. UNAM and more then developed as usual, a project of more than three stages, as five faculties, two general directions, eight runs, six institutes, trade unions and ninety two secretaries, called. University Research Program and Space Development (PUID rebel for short) has the most beautiful offspring, the UNAM-sat I exploded inside a Russian rocket in 1995. That was bad. The good news is that there was a spare. The ugly is that they canceled the program in 1997. Since then, they almost anything, except rumor, unconfirmed by this blogger, that the UNAM sat III will be released in October of 2010 bicentennial. This new satellite university has the peculiarity of being designed for research in early detection of earthquakes. Just as it sounds. Although research is an area neglected by many, the theoretical foundation is strong enough, or at least as consistent as other serious scientific speculations. It is assumed that the accumulated tension between two plates gets to produce noble gas ions at a concentration correlated directly with an earthquake. So a remote detection of trace amounts of these ions could generate alerts of earthquakes with more anticipation than today. Not bad if they can work.














anonymous sources confirmed in a queue for processing in a window of the UNAM, leaked to this blog the image of the prototype of the first spacecraft developed by the AEXA. In this artistic interpretation flies Channel overflow Company in Chalco.




But the aerospace industry is important to Mexico for many more reasons. Hits almost all areas of technological development, industrial, strategic, economic and academic. I know it's hard to understand, especially if you the viewer or reader is a deputy or senator. From the perspective of a state policy of science and technology are essential for the development of four main areas, defense, health, food and energy. Defending the development of missile systems is obvious. But fuel, electronics, remote sensing (nothing to do with Madame Sasu ) are equally important. In health, the development of medicines in zero gravity conditions, the study of disease in low gravity as with osteoporosis, in power only say that the Maruchan are space technology. On second thought that's an argument to ban not only space science, but until Christmas flares. The fact is that energy, fuel, batteries and solar cells are as daughters of space research. Up to City assemblyman understand. But it so happens that Space is much wider than predicted by theory on science policy. Materials development, communications systems, fire detection, reservoir, formation of highly qualified human resources, basic research in all fields. And all create wealth. And all this, gentlemen, is called Independence. The space industry is one of the clearest examples of science that seems to serve nothing but hits on the economy, geopolitics and academia of each country that has embraced it. So the AEXA mazacote not just another letter as FIDEDIDE, or CAPUFE. It is especially great news that we should be Easter celebrating all, along with the passage of chicharito Arsenal, even if you, avid reader, an American, a creationist, and also deputy.

Refundable Fha Funding Fee 2010

Molluscum

few days ago a boy, a student of the Faculty of Sciences UNAM, died after falling from a fourth floor. One of his companions, apparently without knowing it, he took a picture and uploaded it to Facebook, in an album called rarities, along with some footage of stuffed animals. In that environment rebuked him and he argued that showing the shattered guts a colleague gives us information, which is also an act of freedom, independent expression, as good as not to show. Sure, if we are the university forensics club. Otherwise it is a violation of privacy and an act wild. Nonsense.

Take a picture of a corpse and upload it to a social network is not an act to provide information relevant to philosophical reflection about death, life or science, as no what is it to swap in cell phones, selling pirated CDs or post on the front page of a tabloid. Unless of course, deemed the alarm philosophical journal, as a Philosophy and Biology. In the first case it is snuff videos and last yellow. Both are a long distance meditation not only intelligent, but of journalism itself. On both the fun sister, both are means of entertainment, not knowledge. Sensationalism emerged in the late nineteenth century in New York at a time when newspaper sales were so evenly divided that it generated a fervent and absurd competition between publishers, who made anything to sell two or three more his contender. There was no journalistic decisions, as there are not a board to choose the contests move and color of the skirts of Maribel Guardia. There is also no information, except in the cybernetic sense, without adjectives.

Before

information was essentially a message whose value depends on the circumstances of those involved in it. So that could be useful, useless, moral, technical or absurd. From the work of Shannon, Weiner and Chihuahua Rosenblueth, the concept changed information. Now is a stream of data units between two or more entities, irrelevant of interpreting, understanding and quality of it, and even the people who interact in it. The focus is on transmission and no matter what is broadcast, is just information. Rape, murder and even suicide of a colleague. It's just information. RIEF is time to put adjectives again.

Another argument to defend the right to release the photo in question was to state that students and clams are such animals as the writer, and therefore their images as equivalent to those of a dead snail. On the site of human beings in nature is impossible to say anything other than debate beyond primates suggest our status, but think that as molluscs and primates are heterotrophic is the same take a photo of an oyster sauce valentina than a teen shattered skull is not to understand anything for 15 or 20 years of going to school. The same argument of those who equate a zygote with a man and seeks to imprison it aborts.



Horrible slaughter of oysters

Although there will be noted that the school itself is complicit. By definition the school is not space nor democratic nor equitable. If we vote, the matter becomes compulsory creationism, levitation classes supplement Newtonian mechanics, immunology and Reiki Maussán Tono Lazcano. The misunderstanding of this basic premise has led in the last forty years to dissolve education in an effort to avoid the authoritarianism that the governed. The trouble is that the new pass will result in a much greater violence, but so subtle that it is not easy look. El desorden se convirtió en libertad. Y así, junto con la tele y el Internet, la vacuidad escolar prolongó la infancia, es decir la rusticidad. Y no es que considere que los niños son impuros; es que pureza en este contexto no significa bondad ni inteligencia, significa vacío. Ni Sheldon Cooper compraría un disco duro para no abrirlo nunca en aras de preservar su pureza.

La formación del intelecto y el ejercicio de la libertad no son un carácter nato, biológico, menos aún taxonómico. La libertad se ejerce tras la disciplina aprendida, es hija de la constricción. En las artes plásticas, los deportes y las artes marciales primero se aprende la técnica, limited the movement and thought. Mastered these, you are in a position to exercise the freedom to create. No one is born free, he learns to be free. That is why anarchists (real ones, not those of Poplar ) are children of the Republic, the laws of the School.

And so, just in four decades, we say that anything goes and nothing matters. As Camus said, if you do not believe in anything, if nothing makes sense and we can not say no love, anything is possible and nothing matters. Crematoria can poke full of Jewish children, or Haitian Mazahuas how can one engage in the care of lepers. We just think differently and deny the rest. In time of denial suicide real or symbolic purely predominates largely of denial since everything. With the disappearance of missing our environment, we do participant and will communicate something. For the same kill in front of everyone is not stupid, is often one of the goals of killing. It suicide contrary not kill, simply disappear. They would leave as much to buy cigarettes and never return. Still further, the suicidal little lonely, private, or despise the world and others or are of affection and generosity that do not share his denial.

But still it is an invasion of privacy, as it is filmed with a camera hidden under a skirt or a hotel room. With the aggravating circumstance that the owner of exposed entrails can not give permission to be photographed, unless the phone with 3.2 megapixel camera, integrated 3G also a ouija.
