Isla de Ometepe

Los hijos del Sol (The Children of the Sun), whose shooting is getting ready today in Nicaragua, will show the world the wealth of the island of Ometepe, considered a Biosphere Reserve.

The film recounts the reunion of a young man with his origins and a new civilization in the place where he was supposedly born. That 276 square-kilometer island was recognized for its valuable wealth of natural assets by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

This fiction-mystery movie is directed by Spanish director Jacobo Rispa, with a brilliant professional career in the United States, his country, Colombia, and Mexico.

Rispa, known for films such as “Mi corazon insiste” (My Heart Insists), “La Casa de al lado” (Next Door House), “Corazon valiente” (Brave Heart), and “Ruta blanca” (White Road), specializes in crime series that reflect the reality of countries as Mexico and Colombia.

At least 98 people, 84 of them from Nicaragua and 14 foreigners of many nationalities, are involved in the preparation of the film.

According to filmmakers’ schedule, the film should be premiered in September or October in Nicaragua, prior to its spread through Europe, Latin America and the United States.

U.S. extends temporary protected status for Hondurans, Nicaraguans

The Department of Homeland Security extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eligible nationals of Honduras and Nicaragua for an additional 18 months,
beginning July 6, 2013, and ending Jan. 5, 2015.

Current Honduran and Nicaraguan beneficiaries seeking to extend their TPS status must re-register during the 60-day re-registration period that runs from April 3, 2013, through June 3, 2013. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) encourages beneficiaries to register as soon as possible once the 60-day reregistration period begins.

The 18-month extension also allows TPS reregistrants to apply for a new employment authorization document (EAD).

Eligible Honduran and Nicaraguan TPS beneficiaries who request an EAD and meet the re-registration deadline will receive a new EAD with an expiration date of Jan. 5, 2015.

USCIS recognizes that some re-registrants may not receive their new EADs until after their current EADs expire. Therefore, USCIS is automatically extending current TPS Honduras EADs that have a July 5, 2013, expiration date for an additional six months. These existing EADs are now valid through Jan. 5, 2014.

Argentina: Houses ruined by flood, many pets no whomeless

The pets of the thousands of victims of the flooding earlier this month in the Argentine city of La Plata gaze out from photographs on social-networking sites, looking sad and lost as they wait to be reunited with their owners or adopted by a new owner.

Some of the animals, the majority of them cats and dogs, wander the city’s streets, while others have been taken in by families who hope they will be reclaimed by their owners or placed in new homes.

“Peque,” “Negra,” “Pichu” and “Petiso” are four dogs that need new homes because their owner died in the floods.

“My mother sadly died in the floods and now I am trying to get someone to adopt them. She was president of an animal welfare organization and always helped them a lot,” the victim’s daughter, Claudia, told Efe.

The “Cuatro patas reencuentros en La Plata” (Four Paws Reunions in La Plata) initiative has been launched to create a registry of homeless pets.

Modern tech to be used in exploring Mexico’s Teotihuacan ancient site

A robot will soon begin exploring the last stretch of a tunnel found at the archaeological site of Teotihuacan in central Mexico, the third time anywhere in the world that such an automaton is used to design excavation strategies.

The tunnel, discovered under the Temple of the Plumed Serpent, or Quetzalcoatl, is believed to lead to a chamber almost 2,000 years old, probably a place where dignitaries of the pre-Columbian city received their investiture or were buried, the National Anthropology and History Institute, or INAH, said.

The Tlaloc II-TC robot, which will be the first to travel the remaining 30 to 35 meters (100 to 115 feet) of the tunnel, is composed of three independent mechanisms, the first being the transport vehicle that reaches a length of over a meter (3 1/4 feet) once its arms are stretched out.

The robotic arms serve to deal with any obstacles in the vehicle’s path.

With the exploration of these areas, the INAH looks forward to making some of the most important archaeological discoveries at Teotihuacan, one of the largest cities of Mesoamerica in pre-Columbian times.

Gallstones are crystalline formations of cholesterol and calcium formed within the gallbladder and biliary tracts. These stones can vary widely in size from as small as a grain of salt to nearly the size of a golf ball. Gallstones are a sign of incomplete liver detoxification and pose a significant threat to the body. Beat gallstones naturally with an anti-inflammatory diet and cleansing cycle.

The gallbladder serves as a reservoir for the bile that is produced by the liver. Bile is necessary to digest and metabolize fatty acids. The extra bile storage allows the body to effectively metabolize fat-rich foods such as steak and eggs. When the liver and gallbladder get congested with toxins they are not able to secrete bile effectively. This can cause bile material imbalances that lead to gallstone formation. Gallstones are typically a combination of cholesterol and calcium. Most individuals do not experience any outward signs or symptoms.

As the stones get larger they hamper digestion and can cause mild to severe pain in the upper right abdomen area. These painful episodes usually occur at night after eating a fatty meal. Other symptoms include abdominal bloating, belching, gas, fatty stools, low energy after eating and diarrhea.

GallBladder infections

Gallstones can also lodge infectious organisms such as E Coli and Bacteroids and cause further inflammatory stress to the liver and gallbladder. These infections can create life threatening issues and must be addressed. Fermented foods and probiotics work to both inhibit these infectious bacteria and reduce the severity of any infection. An anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle is necessary to inhibit gallstone formation.

This diet consists of phytonutrient rich organic fruits & vegetables, grassfed animal products and healthy fat sources such as avocados, coconut & olive oil. Raw cheese from grassfed cows and goats is an important food due to its rich content of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin K2 & D3. The synergy between vitamin K2 & D3 helps regulate calcium metabolism to inhibit the formation of gallstones.

Foods that are rich in organic acids and natural enzymes are especially important for the entire digestive system including the liver and gall bladder.

These foods include apple cider vinegar (ACV), fresh squeezed lemon/lime, kombucha, kimchi and red cabbage sauerkraut. Probiotic enriched, raw dairy products such fermented whey, kefir & amasai are extremely beneficial.

Liver health is dependent upon a regular fasting cycle to effectively cleanse and detoxify. A 12-hour fast between dinner and breakfast is a great daily habit.

If one were to finish their final solid food meal at 8 p.m. they should not attempt another solid food meal until at least 8 a.m. This gives the body four hours to digest and metabolize the food and then 8 hours for the liver to cleanse.

Once you incorporate this 12-hour daily detox cycle into your lifestyle you can choose to increase this period of time.

Two to three 16-hour liquid fasts each week and/or a 24 hour liquid fast will keep the liver well flushed.

These fasting periods are much easier than most people believe. Many individuals will drink fresh vegetable juices, functional beverages made with fermented whey, kombucha and water with lemon. The fluid and nutrients supply the body with very clean energy that enhances the liver’s ability to purge toxins and facilitate bowel movements.

Anyone with pronounced and symptomatic gallstones should go on a liquid diet with lots of water & lemon, ACV, fermented whey, coconut kefir and fresh organic vegetable juices. Try to limit solid food to one meal per day with very moderate portions of anti-inflammatory foods.

At a time when most people are noticing the government increase of domination over the people, contrary to what should be: the people domination over the government, El Reportero is glad to publish the following article authored by Washingtonblog.com. I believe that it is my duty to inform the people of some aspects of our current government that are becoming detrimental to our liberties. Perhaps this article will wake some people up, perhaps not. Due to its length and our limited space, we will publish it in several parts. This is the second part of a series.

Americans – like Nazi Germans – don’t notice that all of our rights are slipping away – Part 2

by washingtonsblog.com

The 3rd Amendment prohibits the government forcing people to house soldiers:

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Hey … we’re still honoring one of the Amendments! Score one for We the People!

Fourth Amendment

The 4th Amendment prevents unlawful search and seizure:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
But the government is flying drones over the American homeland to spy on us.

Senator Rand Paul correctly notes:

The domestic use of drones to spy on Americans clearly violates the Fourth Amendment and limits our rights to personal privacy.

Paul introduced a bill to “protect individual privacy against unwarranted governmental intrusion through the use of unmanned aerial vehicles commonly called drones.”

Emptywheel notes in a post entitled “The OTHER Assault on the Fourth Amendment in the NDAA? Drones at Your Airport?”:

Transit authorities in cities across the country are quietly installing microphone-enabled surveillance systems on public buses that would give them the ability to record and store private conversations….

The systems are being installed in San Francisco, Baltimore, and other cities with funding from the Department of Homeland Security in some cases ….

The IP audio-video systems can be accessed remotely via a built-in web server (.pdf), and can be combined with GPS data to track the movement of buses and passengers throughout the city.

The systems use cables or WiFi to pair audio conversations with camera images in order to produce synchronous recordings. Audio and video can be monitored in real-time, but are also stored onboard in blackbox-like devices, generally for 30 days, for later retrieval. Four to six cameras with mics are generally installed throughout a bus, including one near the driver and one on the exterior of the bus.

Privacy and security expert Ashkan Soltani told the Daily that the audio could easily be coupled with facial recognition systems or audio recognition technology to identify passengers caught on the recordings.

RT notes:

Street lights that can spy installed in some American cities

America welcomes a new brand of smart street lightning systems: energy-efficient, long-lasting, complete with LED screens to show ads. They can also spy on citizens in a way George Orwell would not have imagined in his worst nightmare.

With a price tag of $3,000+ apiece, according to an ABC report, the street lights are now being rolled out in Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh, and may soon mushroom all across the country.

Part of the Intellistreets systems made by the company Illuminating Concepts, they have a number of “homeland security applications” attached.

Each has a microprocessor “essentially similar to an iPhone,” capable of wireless communication. Each can capture images and count people for the police through a digital camera, record conversations of passers-by and even give voice commands thanks to a built-in speaker.

Ron Harwood, president and founder of Illuminating Concepts, says he eyed the creation of such a system after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Hurricane Katrina disaster. He is “working with Homeland Security” to deliver his dream of making people “more informed and safer.”

Fox news notes that the government is insisting that “black boxes” be installed in cars to track your location.

The TSA has moved way past airports, trains and sports stadiums, and is deploying mobile scanners to spy on people all over the place. This means that traveling within the United States is no longer a private affair. (And they’re probably bluffing, but the Department of Homeland Security claims they will soon be able to know your adrenaline level, what you ate for breakfast and what you’re thinking … from 164 feet away.)

And Verizon has applied for a patent that would allow your television to track what you are doing, who you are with, what objects you’re holding, and what type of mood you’re in. Given Verizon and other major carriers responded to at least 1.3 million law enforcement requests for cell phone locations and other data in 2011, such information would not be kept private. (And some folks could be spying on you through your tv using existing technology.)

Of course, widespread spying on Americans began before 9/11 (confirmed here and here. And see this ). So the whole “post-9/11 reality” argument falls flat.

Part one

MEXICO CITY — Dan Guerrero was sitting with the sold-out audience at Teatro Jiménez Rueda downtown for the Chicano musical Zoot Suit, performed by the National Theater Company of Mexico April 4. This is its second Spanish-language run in Mexico.

The original play, written by Luis Valdez, opened on New York’s Broadway in 1979 and was made into a movie in 1981. Edward James Olmos played the lead as El Pachuco. It is part of a repository of enduring Latino performing arts now drawing on the next generation of audiences to appreciate.

This is how culture is passed along. The story has lessons that history books leave better to the arts for understanding. In this case, the music, choreography and styling also make for an engrossing evening.

Zoot Suit is loosely based on the 1940s’ Sleepy Lagoon homicide in Southern California and the so-called “zoot suit riots” when white soldiers and sailors rampaged against Mexican-American youth in baggy pants and the zoot suit pachuco style. The situation was a media driven mania that occurred from misplaced World War II patriotism and self-righteousness.

It was the same kind of public mistake as the one over Beatles-length hair, afros, ducktails, and tie-dye that were taken to mean youth resistance and opposition. Right after the jazz age, zoot suit came to denote what beatnik did later, followed by hippy, Rock’n’Roll and other forms of non-conformist, ergo “delinquent,” expression.

In the ’40s, Chicano youth were pinpointed as the opposition. Their style even meant the Axis in our midst, the enemy-within, with irrational reactions by some establishment people that even took official form.

All this is documented fact. It is similar to how reactionaries have made irrational thinking part of today’s perception of a part of the Latino community, who are labeled “Illegal aliens,” but are just people struggling to get by. This happens when part of the public gets freaked out and the other part can’t bring them back in check. Retribution maniacs can drive public opinion.

Similarly, something like that happened when Lou Dobbs, Pat Buchanan and others drove the mood of fear following the 2001 terrorist attacks. They and others misled the public and pointed an accusing finger at Latino undocumented Latinos as the enemies to blame.

Now here’s the genius of the play: it captures the spirit of the times, defense of the youths and their style, while telling the story using the distorted news coverage as messenger, Big Band sounds, swing, boleros, corridos, and salsa. Many are the compositions of Lalo Guerrero, Dan’s father.

This is the West Side Story of our time. Audiences on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border might now understand this better than when it first appeared.

Dan, a Hollywood producer, director and former Broadway agent, was in town to present a documentary at Casa California, the University of California center in this city, and take in the show. I participated in the arrangements, and he was met by an enthusiastic audience that included some of the cast from the play.

Lalo Guerrero (1916-2005) was a musical phenomenon in his time. He is known as “the original Chicano.” Lalo wrote and performed music for two national audiences simultaneously. The Casa California documentary about him and his music includes Linda Ronstadt, Dolores Huerta, César Chávez, Cheech Marín, President Clinton, Edward James Olmos, Paul Rodríguez, Luis Valdez and many others.

Dan will soon begin a talk show originating from Los Angeles on Pacifica Radio that is planned to go into syndication. A new stage version of Zoot Suit for U.S. audiences is also reported in the offing, with English and Spanish language performances.

As the curtain came down last week, lead actor Everardo Arzate stepped to the front of the stage to introduce the son of the man who contributed so much of its play’s music.

Dan Guerrero, like the play, received thunderous applause.

Danza del Caribe

The Mexican Museum was initially located in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District and was the realization of Peter Rodríguez’s vision to have an institution in the United States to exhibit the aesthetic expression of the Mexican people.

The Mexican Museum is located at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco and has a large collection of over 14,000 works of art which serve as a testament to the role of Mexicans, Latinos, Chicanos and Latin Americans in San Francisco and the United States.

We ask you today to show your support to make the new home for the Mexican Museum a reality. Come to the hearing on April 11, 2013 at 12:30 p.m. at San Francisco City Hall, Room 400. www.mexicanmuseum.org.

Danza del Caribe directly from Cuba

On Monday, April 1st, all ten members of the Cuban modern dance company, Danza del Caribe, had their visas approved to travel to the United States and make their US debut at the CubaCaribe Festival of Dance and Music (April 12-28 in San Francisco and Oakland). Congratulations to CubaCaribe and Bill Martínez on a successful Cuban visa process!

CubaCaribe has been a resident Festival at Dance Mission for the past nine years. In 2011, Dance Brigade traveled to Cuba with Alayo Dance Company to collaborate with Danza del Caribe and present a weekend of performance at Teatro Mella in Havana. We are thrilled that Danza del Caribe will now be in our town!

Don’t miss the CubaCaribe Festival April 12-28. The first weekend of performance will be at Dance Mission Theater (April 12-14), followed by two more weeks of performance at YBCA and Laney College Theater.

For the full performance line-up, please visit www.cubacaribe.org. And keep your eyes peeled for workshops with Danza del Caribe members at Dance Mission April 16-26.

State of cinema address at 56th San Francisco International Film Festival

The San Francisco Film Society announced today that Steven Soderbergh, one of the world’s most celebrated figures in contemporary filmmaking, will deliver the tenth annual State of Cinema Address at the 56th San Francisco International Film Festival. Soderbergh, a visionary in the field of motion picture production, recently announced his intention to retire from filmmaking, a provocative decision which will provide a compelling framework for this live address. The State of Cinema will headline the Festival’s Live & Onstage program of unique one-time-only events featuring elements of live music, multimedia presentations and audience participation. See below for full program details.

On (April 25 – May 9) at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas on Saturday, April 27 at 1:00 pm. Tickets $20 for SFFS members, $25 for the general public. Box office opens March 13 for SFFS members and March 15 for the general public, online at sffs.org.
